Lo Recordings is enormously proud to set free Air's World Vol. 1 - the first release from London newcomer World Air.

Coming on like a savant brainchild to Laurie Anderson & latter-day Bullion, World Air is a rare standalone. A digital digger's prize find. His sound falls off the shelf amongst those of only other misfit producers: Dominique Dumont's aquatic bubble-music, Len Leise's sunset exotica, the loopy brilliance of Matthew Herbert. His debut record is a bright bolt of singular creativity, melding avant-pop, tropical synaesthetics & ambient minimalism into something that feels both oddly familiar & sparklingly new.

Air's World is an imagined one, an eccentric tangent from Western technocracy in an alien bubble. It's a hybrid world where the remnants of high technology meet folkloric utopia -- a transportive fourth world of ambient electronics in pastoral paradise. A glimpse into balearic's near future, these are bright & strange songs for sunsets not on Earth but on intergalactic beach resorts in a different now. The sound of the future approximating the past.

Our trip begins on Life' -- a skippy anti-banger whose bright-eyed positivity is slowly undone by a softly-computerised female voice that anguishes over the human condition. Be good and you will be happy' is her android refrain, gathering more doubt with each mechanic repetition. Through the bubbling rhythms & chirrupy chords, her glassy-eyed reflections on life are as oddly resonant as those in DJ Koze's dancefloor-stiller XTC'. Rave existentialism par excellence.

Beach-coasting interlude Yard Man' digs deeper into World Air's alien exotica. Naïve masterstrokes & effete little details interplay in a martian ritual ceremony: deep organs sound like warped voices, tapping toms channel Caribbean dub. The drifting ambient structures grow on Turks & Caicos', giving more shine to alien tonalities & freaky side-sounds. Perky melodies & bouncing riffs fanfare in full glowing, spaced-out surf dub. Burbling synths bleep, bubble & recede.

The record powers down on Alarm', a gorgeous miniature that sounds like the gentle rattle of a rusting cyborg whose loose circuitry still whirrs in dissonant harmony. After its surging digital wash simmers, the ghosts in the machine slowly come to a rest -- & the record closes. Air's World starts to fall from view, a digital replica of a distant summer whose data fragments are decaying gently in the sun.

Amphia welcomes Ferro, making his debut with a
four-tracker EP titled “The Unforced”.
“I Said” starts off with a mysterious vocal sample
complemented by a gliding bass line and abstract
percussion that drives the audience to create their
own narrative. A change of direction and a deeper
exploration of a darker dimension are brought on by
“Post Apocalyptic”, characterized by a slightly more
mechanical, nuanced rhythm. “Unforced” with its laidback mood and stripped down groove keeps your
attention focused, the percussion arrangement
working in unison with the glitched textures to create
a distinctive character. Concluding on a high note,
“The Contrary” keeps a steady flow through its lowend bassline, enigmatic synth line and vocal cuts.

Vinyl Only. Limited.

Fresh all-around tracks with an elegant and well-structured tunneling dub sound can describe best this new MixCult release.

With Kirill’s vision imprinted on this one, expressive house and techno come together to form a timeless style that can shake any dance floor with an entirely aural mood.

Partisan welcomes Luca Cazal who delivers 3 super house cuts for the catalog under his new debut moniker LVCA!

'War is Over’ is a classy peak-time bomb that stomps all over the dance floor with it’s acid bleeps, vocoder sounds, boisterous playful bass line, hypnotic pads and fat drum rhythm; this track just rocks! On the flip side ‘People like This’ is a slightly deeper diversion championed by a beautiful 303 bass arpeggiator motif, voice vocoder, subtle delayed bells, and immersive atmospheres transporting you into LVCA’s hypnotic sound. Closing out the EP is ‘Timeless Melody,' deep, elegant and sublime with touches of beautiful piano riffs, warm chords, seductive voices; ready to mesmerise and be dropped at sunrise, sunset or whenever you please.

To mark the 10th release on the Zeitnot imprint we've invited our very special friend Nick Gynn. For this milestone occasion Nick's prepared his longest play yet, 6 stellar tracks ranging through various flavours of deep and warped dance floor sounds.

On the A side AAA shows some love to the golden era of IDM with its B12-esque synth lines, and a growling grooving bass patch. Similarly weighty dance floor bomb Dynamic Traces has a mind-warping atmosphere, and a catchier hook than your favourite guilty pleasure.


Lose yourself in the gripping melancholy of Lourd, with more squelchy IDM-inflections, and practically dripping in nostalgia. Swap plates to the C side to hear expert examples of deep and driven electro Pheonix and Rokit, before gracefully coming to rest amongst the clouds in the arpeggiatted symphonies of A = 432 (Hz).

Reinhard Voigt returns to his own label KOMPAKT with another episode of satiric techno to enlighten today’s current trend of deadpan dance music. Since the 1990’s, Reinhard has brought an unparalleled spirit into the techno scene through outrageously energetic live shows and the many releases under alias such as SRI, Pentax plus of course his ongoing collaboration Voigt & Voigt together with esteemed brother, Wolfgang Voigt. Reinhard embraces all that wildlife has to offer with “Was wir spüren”. Starting things off with the future afterparty anthem, “Das singende, klingende Ding” the bass drum is there to guide the lost and found through a voracious bee storm as the rooster crows gloriously towards duck quacking oblivion. “Tausendmal zu viel” fits perfectly as the soundtrack for to the artwork created by Mareena von Cube – a tormented hymn loops its way to the warriors of the never world. “Der Mann, der nie nach Deutz kam” is classic Reinhard Voigt techno at peak-time point. A throttling bass drum is voraciously fuelled by the jungle twilight.

For this 10th release, Daydream is very proud and happy to present a solo EP from the great Berlin based talent Sota. After having hosted the talented Dutch producer on two V/A already, it’s a true honor to now have him on board for a full record. Through 4 minimal rollers, Sota carefully crafted the right blend of trippy and more uptempo house cuts filled with raw sounds, infectious groove, bass driven melodies, tight rhythms and deep warm pads. All the Daydream vibe embedded in a strong piece of wax.

Since its inception in 2011 the Fuse label has grown to be one of the leading voices in the dance music underground, originally kicking off with co-founder Enzo Siragusa's 'The Sagamore EP', subsequent releases were kept strictly in-house with productions from the roster of resident DJs that feature at their
London based daytime raves (Seb Zito, Rich NxT etc).

In 2013 offshoot label 'Infuse' was initiated as a way of harnessing
production talent from around the globe.

As a celebration of reaching 5 years of releases, a three part vinyl only EP is to be released featuring tracks from the established Fuse roster as well as a few new additions.

The third & final EP features Rich NxT, OdD & Rossko, Archie Hamilton & Sam Bellis

STRICTLY VINYL ONLY!

We are very happy to welcome to Bad Barbie to Marc Faenger with an exquisite four track release named Cabinet EP that besides the two originals from Marc, also includes two fantastic remixes by the Romanian's talented producer Plusculaar. The first track from A Side is Cabinet, in which Marc presents a delicate blend of trippy elements present in the backend that configurates an amazing groove in combination with a solid low-end leading the rhythm. The second track from this side is Mescaline which has a much more techno vibe with a solid tech foundation too, which easily immerses the audience into a subtle hypnotic vibe with an especial underground sound. For the B Side of this record we have both Plusculaar remixes made from Cabinet. The 1st Remix presents a broken beat with Plusculaar's characteristic sound that leads into a twisted voyage through a superb atmosphere with an outstandingly composed groove. The 2nd Remix is a solid re-work of Cabinet's sounds with a very inspiring, deep and evocative vibe that results in a very creative and beautiful mind trip that closes this release perfectly.

Inspired by the early white label house music releases.

Mike Schommer's musical expression formed the basis of the plot of his new record. A deliciously unsettling ode to the '90s subculture in Port Huron (Michigan), demonstrates the eccentricity and inspirational influence exerted on the American master over the past few decades.

The author's counterform subverts the orthodox approach and genre claims. Fitting in the right proportions in a cognitive audio performance, remixes accompany fairy-tale originals and develop mediated audio discourse. The colorful music library is complemented by the diligent, overflowing radiance of the southern chronicler Artur Galstyan aka Heavenchord, the traditionally fresh, exciting delights of Peter Fanai and the ornate frescoes of the Echoton brothers.

The multi-part exhibition invites you to the publishing house "spclnch". Welcome to the world of sincere thoughts, monumentalism and borderline stylizations with a share of curiosities!

It's always better late than never! in this second project we return with more rhythms and old harmonies, four tracks and five producers experimenting with the rhythm machine the best Swing 66%

The time has come for Suolo to revisit Aforisme’s shelves. Time passes and the outputs from the Bucharest-based artist are achieving a league of its own, with Echilibru EP being another chapter of the artist’s sonic adulthood. Keeping things simple: two efficient compositions, harmonised layers, out of sound experiences, all of them under the roof of a distinct and appealing idea.
EP named track - Echilibru - outsets gradually and its elements sink in the most subtle ways. They don’t go too far from what the usual Suolo would bring to your ears, yet every piece that comes from him is particular in its own way. All of them together are just pages of a bigger book. With a bass that dominant, a lead pad lurking between the low and high, some casual yet organised whispers, Echilibru epitomises a very danceable melancholy. The unison of everything mentioned above lets us explore beyond the initially set limits as more time you spend listening, farther it takes you into the world of abundant emotions.
Safe to admit that if you take the drums out of Suolo’s tracks, they become adventurous movie soundtracks. That’s exactly what happens during Pyunik, not only would it be adventurous without drums but also incinerates a state of internal wandering. While both the artist and listener are looking for paths during the process of composition/audition, they cross very often on the B side of this record. The elements are all from Suolo’s list of usual suspects, yet Pyunik is the proof of his mastery at recycling the so familiar sounds into new states and emotional rollercoasters. B side is about the entourage created around the deeply ingrained kick. Heavy and competent.
Would it suit a packed floor at 4am or an empty room audition in an intimate setting? We truly believe that Echilibru EP could fit both with zero back-thoughts. It’s full of energy and it gives you the full control on how to handle it.c

London-based Enfasi Records proudly presents its second release consisting of a roaring deployment of talented producers. Bucharest's very own Vlad Arapasu kicks things off with a mesmerizing 10+ minute ride made of dried-out grooves, twisted synths, and modular bleeps, while the Tripmastaz Enterprises debuts on the label with a powerful and gloomy energetic cut. On the flip, Paris' Petit Batou drops "Pinball", a massive vibrant cut infused with ever-evolving synth patterns entrusting to Romanian Chrivu to close things off nice and deep with a warm and rolling jam with shuffled hats and a slow sequence of mumbling synths.

There arrives the 2nd lorry along the bumpy road fueled with a orange blend of house / electro tracks to stop by your counter. Honk if you want to.

Watch out for this one ! Aron from Zurich / Switzerland – resident at the Hidden club in Solothurn.

The second Planet Tapes EP comes out when sharing artistic expression is having a huge low blow across the world. With the introduction of the new V/A, we believe you will get the right alternative for these gloomy times.
A1 written by the American, Liquid Earth. A man who constantly experiments and in fact this time he presents himself with an environmental version. Celestial melody seasoned with an acid-glitchy arpeggio that makes everything a unique journey.
A2 created by the Spanish brothers-duo, Primary Perception. We especially admired them for the Slow Life releases and their live sets. Once again, from their blood bond, deep and dreamy progressive chords are born.
A3 composed by the Italians, Solidwood & Joris Blaine. Having met each other back in 2015, they decided to join forces five years later. The result is waiting to be discovered.
B1 belongs to the mysterious French, 4 Chemins. Official debut in discography for him with a track where orchestral-style melodies are the masters.
B2 represented by the well-known Italian leaders of the label, Two Opposites. Contrary to what they showed us in the first EP, they have chosen a more romantic spirit, but the care and attention to detail is always the same.

After their release on Elephant Moon, the mysterious duo Y&E is back on Maison Mere with a 4 tracker EP crafted for the dance floor.

"Secretsundaze continue their quest to uncover amazing new music with the signing of exciting young Dominican artist Boundary. At just 19 years old Boundary aka Josue Suero makes music that is brimming full of ideas and influences that belie his young age. The 'Interlazados' EP is his debut release for a UK label.

Taking cues from his fascination with video game music, his first real gateway to electronic music, the four track EP showcases Boundary's melodic sensibilities and ear for a killer rhythm.ALead track 'Opticamente Avanzando' unwinds over 12 minutes of deep, mesmeric melodic, contemplative electronica with hints of 90's UK rave influences.ACheck the grins when the killer bassline drops half way through!A

The glossy melodies, jazzy motifs and hip-tugging bass of 'OP.AV' and the breakbeat house of 'Interlazados' channel more lo-fi, ambient house influences but all sent through that unique Boundary filter. Finally, the brain-warming, hypnagogic, tempo-changing rhythms of 'Planos de Ausencia Casualidad' could be the EP highlight and recalls the work of Lone and Actress.

You could listen to these tracks and be mistaken for thinking this is an artist who has maybe been lost in the throws of extended Villalobos DJ set or the deep pads of old Sun Electric records, but as an artist who is an outsider to the European dance scene, his inspiration comes from closer to home, as Boundary explains:

"For this EP I was interested to see if i could hit close to the feelings i have when I listen to certain video game music, how I could convey the amazing and deep storytelling in these songs. I really wanted them to feel like a ride/adventure. 'Opticamente Avanzando' ('Optically Advancing' in English) for me is like a venture into a machine that analyses a bunch of electronic music genres and it outputs as many different variations of these genres it can, each with their own little quirk/details, creating something unique in the process."

With previous releases on LA based label, Point Records, and Paris' Third Try label (Axel Boman, SFV Acid) Boundary's emergence represents a promising prospect for the electronic music world and 'Interlazados' another essential release on Secretsundaze."

After a long hiatus Meraki Music returns with ‘Monday Morning’ EP. An original project from Manchester & Leeds based Jamie Leather with added remix from close friend Jake Flory

After the success of the ‘White’ release by the Adjustment Bureau, featuring a remix from Federico Molinari,
HAZE returns to announce the first chapter of its ‘BLACK’ series.
This one sees talented Romanian musician Crihan aka Discret Popescu (Mezin / Ultrastretch)
open the door to his inner world as he shares 4 mind bending original productions.
He demonstrates every shades of his musical mastery across both sides. From the deep and minimalist grooves of ’Behind The Veil’ & ’Under The Influence’, to the bizarre trip-hop vibes of ’Over & Away’… and concluding his story with the hypnotic, ambient atmospheres of ‘Hold’.

Tvir is a vinyl only label based in Ukraine. Translated from Ukrainian Tvir means composition'.
Horror Vacui is a term that stands for "fear of emptiness", in the art world. Certain Moscow characters known as Sil (Easy Changes), Anrilov and Cross (aka Sick Disco) fight their own, personal inner fears by the means of dark, mysterious and gluey house in this new collaboration.
B side included 2 great remixes from Tommy Vicari Jnr and Japanese musician Takashi Himeoka. Enjoy!

The voice comes from a radio, protests in a country far away. Under the rising sun, cranes stalk the horizon, building more towers for the super -rich. Was it a dream, or did you hear sirens in the night? Qui volé? Who stole?

The rhythm, the battle, the call, a warning. The siren, the street, the horns. The bugs, the birds, the bees. And sounds stolen from your dreams. The last chapter in the Vertigo Inc odd-ysee. Hypnotic, pulsing late - late night leftfield house jams and junkyard rave constructions. On the flip, Flabberghast (Guillaume Coutu Dumont and Vincent Lemieux) massage a jiggling, whooping club dub from the track’s nervous skeleton

'Lost Spirits' is an exploration in sounds for dancing. Catalysed by the catastrophe that was 2020, Hidden Empire step off the stage and retreat to the studio on a quest to find out what moves the people.

They seem to have found it. One out of the box, this 16 track album is designed for diversity. Hidden Empire oar their creative rudders, lending their hand from techno to deep house with a cheeky reach-around to a more downtempo vibe.

The first three tracks send you down the rabbit hole on a toe-tapping, hip-slapping aural escapade to the heavier edge of techno, the sublime vocals of Artche taking you directly back to those dancefloor moments when time stands still.

Taking the stairs two at a time in polyamorous heels, you’ll fall in love with the sassy, classy, savage vibes of ‘Resurgence’ and ‘Dark Matter’.

Transitioning to a more tribalesque vibe is ‘Organic Train’ a cut which blends the primitive, esoteric influence of the old world with the punchy, industrial sounds of the new world. Continuing on the exploratory sound voyage of downtempo, broken beaten space techno, ‘Mr. P’ stands in the forest listening to the plants talk to the people. Bebetta slips in with her inimitable style in the collectively inspired ‘All of Us’, keeping the Fun Dial turned right up.

Delving deep into the tundra, ‘Hectic Dreams’ become reality as the album turns towards the chunkier end of the musical spectrum. Punching out the bass-heavy bangers like 'Once Upon' (with a cameo from South African slam poet & spoken word artist The Lazarusman), Hidden Empire roll out with a flurry of cuts that are limitless in genre and luminous in effect.

The ‘Lost Spirits’ album is a nod to the certain kind of limitless magic which happens when people come together, without preconceptions, to get lost in the music together.

Packed full of 100% pre-pandemic dance-floor approved cuts, wrap your ears around these tasty morsels, in anticipation of a live show where we can all dance together en masse.

EP of four tracks can be called a canonical example of a groovie and deep melodic house.

The first composition, St. Terrace, perhaps the most dynamic, as if personifying the rhythm of a megapolis, which is quietly observed from an open terrace.

The next track Tsvir laconically continues the given rhythm, however it looks more thoughtfully and less swiftly. The minimalistic sample row lays itself brightly on the dense groove.
Side B opposite, takes the listener from the city to the natural landscapes.

Fat dub and soft bass sound quite familiar, but fresh at the same time.

The final track Nebosvod is the softest and dreamy. Rhythm overflows and synthesized melodies create a feeling of lightness and space. As if there were no borders. And it really don't exist for human imagination.

In general, Construction B is very light and bright work. Such music brings to mind the endless natural spaces. Gorgeous for both simple listening and for a good dance workout in the evening.

We have been dropping both tracks in every set, and boy, they go down so well and sound great on any system, even in the most remote corners of our galaxy. The cosmic energy they release is stunning! Trainspotters are lining up regularly near our decks but we have anonymized the tracks (PIS15.1, PIS15.2) so no one knows it is the forthcoming mountain people. Gosh, they have taken their time but once again it was worth the wait. Looking forward to playing these deep bass monsters many more times.”
