Yulia Niko returns to Crosstown Rebels this June with Fatima. This exceptional release sees the Berlin based artist draw on influences from across the globe to create two mesmerising tracks, alongside a remix from Romanian minimal hero Priku feat. Dinu.

On the introspective Fatima, Yulia displays her values, producing a track that harnesses Asian inspired strings and a beautiful vocal allowing the mind to walk through the fields of a distant land. The Priku remix of Fatima featuring Dinu sees the original reworked with dubby chords and intricate percussion, creating a hypnotic piece for the dancefloor. Then Man From Ubud sees the style switch to a fluid rhythm, a natural warm energy is produced by organic keys, lively flute and charismatic vocals.

Yulia Niko’s original minimal techno sound has gained her admiration the world over, including the attention of heavyweights such as Damian Lazarus, Jamie Jones and Dennis Ferrer. Now residing in Berlin, she can often be found wowing audiences at her residency for the famous Watergate club. Her deeply complex Chicago and Detroit influenced style can be found on esteemed labels such as Get Physical Music, Hottrax, Rebellion and Subliminal. Also spearheading her imprints TochnoTechno and Libe Vibe, she continues to tour every continent, with Yulia’s unique creativity leading the way in her promising career.

In a difficult period like the one we are living in right now we had to find a way to be close to our people that dream with music.

Top Rhythm Boppers: Funky Beats and Fat Basslines…

For our opening release, we have label boss Papolious Jones (aka Brian Topham) - stepping to the plate with a tasty 5 tracker brimming with the sweet flavour of nostalgia. Housy pleasures of yesteryear combined with a dynamic, expressive approach make this EP a timeless musical journey - morphing from upbeat funk to sweaty house anthem, and from a declaration of love to bittersweet future jazz; all this while maintaining his signature fun and flowing style.

Breaking rules in the right way, Mr Jones really wears his heart on his sleeve to deliver this really fun and moving display of house music. Expect more to come from the Peruvian boys in Barna...

Dark and driving, these four tracks from Sonohat paint a monochromatic landscape tinted with mysterious melodies. "Nohemiann" sets the tone of the album with distorted chords and a whipping baseline. Next, fellow Romanian Vid's remix of "Nohemiann" subtly strips down the original with haunting, indiscernible whispers. On the B side, "Another Bottle of Wine" slurs vocals and drones to tell a textured story while the kick continues relentlessly. "Chains" returns to a groovy bassline and a nostalgic, yearning melody that reminds us how even the ability to turn everything to gold could, ultimately, be a curse.

Aymeric is proud to present his brand new These Tasty Records imprint with a bomb 5-tracker, and who better than the founder himself to produce it alongside Cesare Muraca?

Kicking off the A-side, Cesare goes deep into the realms of ravey caves followed by Aymeric's spookier electro melodies reminding us of his home, 'La Relève'.

The flipside goes on with a housey bomb by Muraca guaranteed to get a crowd jumping, then closing with Aymeric's yin and yang, composed of one funky banger and a slow breakbeat progressive tune to end things in beauty.

The debut of KOI welcomes you at the very starting point of a new Re.Face’s chapter.

Let us invite you to follow the mark once again and be prepared for something magical…

Art of Dark for Record Store Day 2020!!

Limited. Vinyl Only. Played by Raresh

On the A-side, -Paradigm- gets us off the ground with a headstrong bassline dripping 90s-aware acidalia. Harking back to the golden age of Destelbergen, a twisted voice makes short work of any presenting competition. -Prettyboy- takes things across the Atlantic, with reverberations of New York s heydays tangible throughout. Spinning around an ever extending groove, the tried and tested dancefloor drama slowly loses it thread and comes undone – before a skipping rhythm puts all the pieces back in place. Access the deepest cut on the flip: Laid out across a full side, -Serendipity- is an understated collection of accidents. With its undulating melodies stimulating the glowing mind, it crosses barriers between house music, techno, and the chillout floors of yore.

As the Great Conjunction of Thra’s Three Suns draws ever closer, schuttle casts his sonic offerings out into this dying World in an attempt to restore balance and offer us all a chance to ascend to a higher level of existence.

The record begins by conjuring up the 'Ritual Master'. Stuttering vocals dance over ceremonial strings; the great Unifying kick drum clears the undergrowth for a bassline so life affirming that it could raise UrSu himself.

The quest continues with ‘Heretic’. After consuming a hero’s dose of Urdrupe berries, a righteous vision of a writhing, divine dancefloor comes into focus. The soundtrack to the collectively imagined communal space.

The B side begins with 'Ekt'. Angular, fractured percussion marches on, shrouded in cold, dew soaked pads, climaxing with a chord as deep as it is wide. Then, just as the three suns begin to align, ‘Weaver’ makes its gentle presence known. Finishing the journey with crystalline clarity and warmth. Luxurious chords disperse over elegant synthesis, whilst a powerful kick caresses our hearts. Perhaps it isn’t too late to restore our Vital Essence?

London based ANII returns home to KOMPAKT following a breakthrough year. Since the release of her KORZENIE EP (KOM 380) then releases on AEON AUDIO and POLYMATH she continues to bring a unique and highly emotive take on techno and house music to a sound that has become more and more mundane over recent times. She's back with ANIITIME - a diverse, three track EP that starts with RIDE THE TIGER. It made us squeal with glee when we first heard it. Is this an inadvertent tribute to the Warp classic, SWEET EXORCIST or just some jungle voodoo magic Listen to it for yourself! The title track sees her going deep into her emotional treasure chest to produce a violin meets acid (it works - we swear!) techno incarnation. Her third offering is the solid, house riddled GALAXIANII. Move over Boney M - ANII is our new captain who takes us on her latest night flight to...

Animal Crossing invites Jake Flory for their second release with an infectious 4 track EP.

Geena's first release on his own imprint. Three original club hits made of deep & goofy house gimmicks. If you haven't listened some four to the floor club tracks with accordion for a long time, this record is for you. Too Smooth Christ, the rising french star, and Raymonde, a guy from the gone tribe, give their own interpretation of sound patterns you heard throughout those tunes.

Alexis Cabrera debuts on FUSE sister imprint Infuse as he releases his four-track ‘Acidity’ EP.

Argentinian born, Berlin-based producer and live act Alexis Cabrera has emerged as one of South America’s finest electronic music exports with a string of stand-out releases via the likes of Raum…Musik, Moscow, Yaji and Salty Nuts over the past few years alone. A co-founder of Fun Records alongside fellow Argentian Barem, Cabrera’s sophisticated, groove-heavy sound combined with his impressive live performances have seen him take to world renowned venues such as Watergate, Tresor and Hoppetosse in his adopted hometown, and September now welcomes another ‘feather in his cap’ as he makes his debut on FUSE sister imprint Infuse to deliver his four-track ‘Acidity’ EP.

Taking cues from its title, lead cut ‘Acidity’ unveils a bubbling acid-driven production guided by sweeping synths and slick drum licks, whilst ‘Bulevardò’ journeys through warping electronics, shuffling percussion and off-kilter vocal murmurs to offer up a twisting, hypnotic ride. Next up, ‘Tocado’ introduces an infectious medley of organic drums, resonant bass melodies and icy hats, before closing proceedings via the jazzy chords and funk-heavy bass licks of the infectious ‘Esa Vaina’.

As time passes, Aforisme label is only adding gems to its catalog and the next one to shine is Root with his Cezariad EP. A combination of deep drums throbbing through layers of bass lines and melodious partitions.

He outsets with “Cezariad” – a dynamic composition with satiny claps that evolve throughout the time of listening into a core part of the piece. With a start-to-end listening, we can hear the bass line groaning sometimes in the back of the glossy keys and electronic environment. The casual shots are colonizing the imagination of the listener, estranging it from the primary source of the sound. A peaceful start is something to sum this up.

“Black Gold” – the name speaks for itself. A metallic continuance of the record with generosity in bleakly sounds and eccentric build up. The digitalization of this track can be felt from the first minute and we talk about the sonification of Root’s message through this particular piece. It reminds us of a playful xylophone paired with floor rhythms in a minimalistic entourage.

Taking the whole side B of this record, “Quantum Anomaly”, builds its surroundings in distorted ways and more specific – bleeps and stretched alien-ish pads that wrap in an out-of-room sonic voyage. The dynamics of Root and Parallax Deep are immaculate here, both putting under the spotlight their visions in a co-operative way. Speedy drums of Parallax’s are amiably confronting Root’s ghostly view on the melodic build-up.

Okain is a master of house music , the universally respected french artist is the up next on Ben Rau's META Imprint under his brand new alias House of Kain.

The A-side Throwback is a rolling house track with a rumbling mpc groove that references the sounds of late 90's tech house updated for today's dancefloors , the B-side Time Factor rounds up the package perfectly with a glitchy dubbier feel META continues its run of churning out high quality dancefloor weapons with House of Kain's debut release
