Brigitte Barbu's Muzak pour ascenseurs en panne (Muzak for broken lifts) marked a bold new addition to the Circus Company repertoire. In a gilded haze of resonant tones conjured by traditional and non-traditional methods, Brigitte Barbu created an inviting sound world brimming with life and doffing its cap to 1970s signal processing. Out of such sonic research and development comes a wealth of material for other artists to sink their teeth into, and so we proudly present an accompanying remix EP that takes Brigitte Barbu's distinctive stamp into new territory.

Roman Flügel makes a first appearance Circus Company with two versions of "Dae-Boj DeMoya" that showcase this constantly versatile lynchpin of European techno. First up is his "kraut remix", which unsurprisingly channels the grainy beauty of Neu! and early Kraftwerk, before his "synth remix" dials back the drums and diverts our attention towards an expansive arrangement of melodious flourishes from classic synthesisers.

John Tejada and Reggie Watts reunite as Wajatta following their triumphant LP Don't Let Get You Down on Brainfeeder to deliver a particularly inventive, soul-stirring vocal techno version of "Couvre chef en peau de taupe". Watts soars over the signature warmth of Tejada's production, while Brigitte Barbu's mysterious tones linger in every fold of the mix.

Matthew Herbert offers up a "Butter Dub" version of the album interlude serie "Trou Vert" that pits his signature stark sampling methods against Brigitte Barbu's material and creates a fruitful dialogue of crooked 4/4 mechanics with all the playful curiosity of the original and a strong dose of Herbert's inimitable musical personality.

We are delighted to welcome the two french talents Gab. Jr and Admo for our 4th release!

A masterclass in millennial House, Sasu Ripatti aka Vladislav Delay’s debut as Luomo returns for a 20th anniversary edition newly remastered at D&M and packing the deepest bounce per ounce Upon its original release in 2000, ‘Vocalcity’ was a totally unexpected turn from the artist best known as Vladislav Delay, who’d by then established his reputation as a producer of abstract dub techno for Chain Reaction that was ostensibly far removed from deep, vocal-led house music. But prejudices were swiftly assuaged as the Finnish artist’s keen knack for shifty rhythm programming was brought in line with Johanna Johanna Livanainen’s perfectly poised vocals, revealing the core influence of sensuous, soulful deep house and garage on his sound in a similar way to the links between Maurizio’s M-Series and the vocal-led Main Street volumes. Twenty years later it’s fair to say the 6 tracks of ‘Vocalcity’ have withstood the test of time and are bound to weave their slinky magick on ‘floors everywhere. With mint copies now near-impossible to find on the 2nd hand market, this new pressing of ‘Vocalcity’ is perfectly timed for a zeitgeist looking to the late ‘90s and early ’00s for inspiration. Cut a side-per-track, just like the original edition, each of the songs - ranging between 10 and 16 minutes each - have plentiful headroom and leg space for dancers, DJs and audiophiles, keeping the album’s crucial balance of luxuriant minimalism, and the space between its coiled grooves and burning vocals, perfectly taut and intact. Getting under the skin with the sculpted swing and hair-kissing vox of ‘Market’, and shuffling up close to Moodymann’s Detroit house depth in ‘Class’, the album is perhaps best loved for its timeless highlight ‘Tessio’, a rich, warm and writhing beauty that would set the template for myriad House records to come in the following two decades. Along with the mid-tempo lather of R&B vocal inflections on ’She-Centre’, and the lip-smacking sensuality of ’Synkro’, this whole lot is an absolute must-have for fans of late night/all day dancing sessions as much as those who like do
it quieter.

100% classic material.

Paradroid is back for the Telharmonic Texture's second chapter ! a really strong micro house release which includes a remix by the label founder Pressure Point

suspicious sessions 001

After a quiet year Jan Hendez is back with new textures for this 4th output on Lumbago's imprint. This release, built around different construction and moods, welcomes 3 originals and a clever equation of those joints by the infamous professor Le Loup. Welcome in the geeky cave!

A1 is composed of strong, deep basslines that melts with beautiful synths and twisted rhythms that will bring you directly to space.

A2 Jan Hendez achieve a really interesting mix of his influences with a track that we have difficulties to categorize, breakbeat oriented, also electro, but with his minimal touch. Ravy and deep.

B1 is the more housy oriented, a great tool for DJ's with a good drop of acid on the middle.

B2, Le Loup used elements of the three originals to mastermind a clever track between Minimal House, and Electro.

Full Printed Cover, Inner Sleeve, printed logo, 3 track vinyl, 180 grams

The first release of new label, Ritual Acquaintance. All music written and recorded in London by Spage.

Limited pressing..

Because Life's is a Recollection of Momentz.

Chicago House legend Boo Williams is coming back with a new E.P call "Night Heat" for the first release of the french label House Of Underground. Don't miss this gem!

Norachi comes at you all slinky and smooth from the Victorian countryside with 4 tracks to rattle the bass bins of your deepest dancefloor. The optimist of the bunch; ‘Nurture’ reveals glimmering synths and tight percussion over a stout bassline, while the Reflective mix adds the tough yet melancholy attitude and robust mindset distinctive of Castlemaine streets in the year 2020. On the flip, Nature Bassline walks the line between beatdown and dub with hats lashing themselves over a bass melody reminiscent of classic Detroit works. The closer, Tool For Tim, is an exercise in after hours club moderation, settling itself into a dream loop you won’t wake up from. Sleeve art by Gavin Fennessy.

Dalmata Daniel's next up is a collaboration with the Bristol-born - weirdo disco guy' Antoni Maiovvi and also a contribution of Heinrich Dressel who is an unavoidable column of Rome's electronic music scene.Maiovvi's Pleasure Model project is all about youth - replaced by Blade Runner-esque replicas. His first release under this moniker was - Kendo Dynamics' on 100% Silk in 2016. It aimed for presenting a persuasive world of fiber optic paranoia and technoid effacement.DD006 is the next level of the concept and the first time on vinyl. The tracks are driven by the characteristic haggard drum machine's sound on side A with a melancholic or dark synth themes what becomes a dreamy melody in the - Prism Riot' on side B. The remix by Heinrich Dressel is a turn back directly into the darkness, but it is faster and more like a film soundtrack with his own characteristics, of course. The whole EP has a strong vintage mood and sound.
It can be said that Update 1.1 is definitely dystopian, coming from the future of our past.

Three of the major pedestals in the Icelandic techno scene gave birth to a classic Thule release in 1997. This collaboration between Sanasol (Yagya & Thor) & Ozy gave result of an EP, which is considered by many to be one of the finest of the Icelandic techno of that era.
Seveneleven is a delicate blend of deep techno and minimalist house music. Enigmatic combination of lush pads, delicate percussions and dubby chords are destined to transport the listeners to an higher unknown state of euphoria. Fans of melodic dub techno will embrace this release as much as it was done 22 years ago - as good music never really grows old.
Thule Records is considered by many to be a pioneers in the field of dub-influenced techno music and was a starting point for many of Iceland's most renowned electronic musicians.

Tervisio 005 comes at us from emerging British producer Pierre Codarin. '3000 & Me' features three stunning and eclectic, dancefloor-driven cuts. The title track is a steely, stifling track that's notable for its hypnotic, loopy emphasis as well as its thoroughly uncompromising demeanour. Dark and dextrous, it neatly paves the way for Losoul's robust re-work. The B side kicks off with Codarin's 'Fly Screen', which belongs to a dominant and mystical after hour vibe. The concluding track 'Blue' is a trippy, whimsical cut that is characterized by its floating baseline and many warm hues.

Marco Pellegrino (aka Ancut) makes a debut on Wicked Bass Records. His emerging producer talent, together with his curation, makes for an interesting selection. All three tracks manifest after-party vibes, resemblant of that soulful atmosphere of an early morning, melodic and warm. Innershades delivers a remix of “Renaissance” with his signature nostalgia vibe. Fat drums transform the track into a dance floor killer; he further enhances the melody to transport you to the highest point of emotional intensity.

Almost 10 years already….Just a short moment away from its tenth anniversary, the cutting-edge Label La Belle Records unveils the second part of its One Night Stands collection.

If the first part portrayed very warm, tropical tones, this second opus feels more like the end of a party or the morning after, with a selection of tracks at a crossroad between slo-mo, synth-pop, lo-fi, ethnic groove and nu-disco like few others have done before.

This is something you've never heard before! All thanks to the insatiable digging from the master curator and co-founder of the label, Antoine Harispuru aka Golden Bug.

From Rome to Bruxelles via Paris and Vilnius, this second edition hits hard with names like Get A Room!, Rodion, Ellis Island (a world collaboration between the Italians Bawrut and Hot Spell), Rodion, Front de Cadeaux, Claap! and some other electronic gems.

EYA 009 featuring Kiev based artist Zolaa. and a remix from Etienne.

18 months ago we decided to share our love for music with you. So our baby "Low.enZH" is born. We started with several artists who are producing not only noteworthy but also unbelievable and qualitatively outstanding music. Your positive feedback was motivation enough to continue. Exactly 8 releases later we are happy to present you the start of our Vinyl only collection.

LEZHV001
The starting signal is given by none other than "MIKHU". He's one of our locals who is producing a hit with practically every song. He delivers two beautiful and/or sentimental songs that will enchant you not only on the dance floor. Of course, we were also looking for a suitable artist for a remix. E voila, we found Matpri. The familiar face justifies his popularity through his diverse beats. He has done a venerable remix that can hardly be put off. Enough said, convince yourself. Have fun!


Vinyl Only - Limited

Vinyl only release
featuring the Rawmoments crew
and a remix from Lee Burton

BinarySound is back and welcomes three new faces to the imprint.

On the A-side, Frankfurter duo Cedric Dekowski and Felix Reifenberg from the infamous HardWorkSoftDrinks crew join the French label. They deliver a masterclass in sound crafting with the future classic Neptuning, that will tear any dancefloor, anytime. Pichler offers a warm sound designed for the afterhours, promising a trip back to everyone’s favorite Offenbach wood floor.

On the B-side, Dj Void signs his first appearance on a vinyl imprint with 2 heavy bass and energetic dancefloor bangers, infused with a melody you can already hear blaring through the club’s speakers.

Musically and emotionally, Superpitcher's third full-length studio album, The Golden Ravedays is a one sound autobiography that exhibits the skill, feeling and style that the artist has honed over a period of twenty years, musically, and forty-plus-years, emotionally.
And full-length it is:
The Golden Ravedays is an epic album of 24 tracks that was released in January 2017 and is stretching over 12 respective chapter albums during a one-year period.
The seventh piece of The Golden Ravedays puzzle will be released on Hippie Dance in July 2017.

Number 7 of the series introduces two further tracks of the sound adventure that Superpitcher is taking us on this year.


Side A features Andy, music made by Superpitcher in memory and admiration of a pioneer artist and his works. Andy Warhol looks a scream, Hang him on my wall, Andy Warhol, Silver Screen, Can't tell them apart at all, Andy walking, Andy tired, Andy take a little snooze, Tie him up when he's fast asleep, Send him on a pleasant cruise, When he wakes up on the sea, Be sure to think of me and you, He'll think, about paint and he'll think about glue, What a jolly boring thing to do. David Bowie's lyrics about Andy Warhol mirror the groovy yet deeply moving emotion of this track. The music Superpitcher imagined here is a pleasant cruise in itself and once you wake up from it, you will for sure think of Andy.
Side B features Yves. The track starts with a long introduction of harp music and then gently evolves into one of the more fragile and poetic pieces Superpitcher has created thus far for The Golden Ravedays record. Similar to Andy this track is dedicated to an artist, Yves Saint Laurent. What is clear in this music is that there is an intense understanding of the suffering Yves Saint Laurent lived throughout his life as an artist and fashion designer. As only Superpitcher can, he translated that emotion into this beautiful and touching piece of music.

Hop on, dweller, this place is done. With hands above and feet below, a bright smile and a loose shirt we're riding right over the edge towards Pluto. Brigade knows the drill, Don Jaguar the directions. Service is provided and everyone's assisted. Future sound for future people.

Jaime Read’s first EP after a 5 year break of which unfortunately saw very little studio time - life just goes like that sometimes, but an artist will always return in tough moments such as 2020’s Covid lockdown. Deep, emotional UK techno made with honesty & introspection, taking the mind away from the world’s troubles and triggering hope - positive deep sounds.

Kellon returns with the 6th Spillway release - Tycho EP. After featuring on SPILL05, Neuron Network contribute to the label once again, this time with the opening track. Expect a varied collection of techno across the EP.

This is the debut release for WORQ RECORDS. An independent label out of Chicago USA. The label was an idea because of how hard it is these days to classify tracks into either House or Techno let alone one of the tons of sub genres of the two. Loving both genres and not wanting to label tracks or records with one group or the other, WORQ RECORDS was created. This debut release on 12" vinyl allows for a selector to blend these tracks into a variety of different mixes.

QUINROK1 sets the pace for what the WORQ RECORDS sound will be. A blend of House/Techno/Minimal/DubTechno. Born, raised and bred with the Chicago House sound and the underground rave scene culturing and shaping the flavor of where his House/Techno sound is today. This 6 track 12" will have something for your mix! Huge deep kicks, snappy snares, hats and claps with fat bass grooves and soul samples, its a recipe for some bangers!!

Opulence is back, debuting the burgeoning Puerto Rican talent of Cerrot.Title track ‘Proclamació’ twists and turns through a deep, minimal journey as trippy R&B vocals, rolling grooves and glitched samples are laid over a subby bass - giving all the elements of undeniable heater.

Romanian man of the hour Cristi Cons is first up on the remixes, providing a skippier twist on the original full of springing synths and cerebral sounds to unlock minds and move bodies. Closing out proceedings, Maher Daniel brings a techier, driving, dancefloor bomb of a remix as the final weapon in OP007’s arsenal.

Long awaited VAKUM009 is finally here. It's an inside project since the record is the first collaboration of VAKUM founders - Disrupted Project & Borut Cvajner under the D.P.B.C. name. Four diverse cuts ranging from ravey and distorted electro to 4/4 spaced out drivers and trippy soundscapes. As always, it's a very limited vinyl series powered by the mighty Analogcut Mastering from Berlin.

We are welcoming FILIPP (co-founder of kosmogonik) on our Geodesic series with his epic EP "Miletus". Miletus, the ancient city of Ionia, was FILIPP's source of inspiration for this musical épos. Having been the place of birth for 3 great thinkers of the Presocratic era (Thales, Anaximenes & Anaximander), Miletus symbolizes both the origin of thought & the birth of the universe. The Milesians placed great importance on natural elements like water, fire or air in their cosmogonies, elements that were depicted very well in FILIPP's choice of sounds on this release.

It’s lucky number 8 for Cardiff-based imprint Haŵs - and to mark the occasion, they’ve invited the riveting Jad & The to whip up a perfect storm for “Transorbital Express”. The five-track EP teems with lightheaded house and techno beats, from micro-detailed refrains to fervent show stealers.

The A-side offers a lavish yield, with the washed-out “Mastermind” rippling into a compelling bassline and a melodic sensation of bubbles cascading to somewhere unknown. “Transorbital Express” evolves upon the delicate flair, spacing out into its own groove like a dancer becoming increasingly lost in the moment. Meanwhile, “Way To Kill” takes on the role of a subtle tyrant, delivering a charmingly malevolent feel with its menacing synths and warped vocals.

On the flip-side, the chunky “Space Infinitum” launches into attention, carving through the ozone with a woozy blend of bassline and kick drums that chug with an enthralling arrogance. “Outer Planet” closes proceedings as a driven statement of intent, taking a straight-forward groove and offsetting it with eccentric, off-beat inflections.

If you listen right from beginning to end, you’ll end up somewhere at the edge of the universe. Looking towards the future with a diverse yet consistent approach, the label ensures through their thoughtful choice of artists that no matter the direction of their output, it’s one that’s set with a clear bearing by all involved.
