snorky! That´s the question!

Music collective, concept and podcast series OsloGround sets out on their first flight as a label, starting out with their own A:G and his fittingly named Metamorphosis EP.
Where two different parts of the journey's title deliver floating and mind lifting atmospheres built on a firm layer of broken beats and sub vibrations, and the flipside delivers more of a dub inspired minimal house groover with foot feeding bass and juno sweeps for those 5AM moments, this EP is made with love for the dancefloor in mind.

After the first release, Variete continues with an ep from Drea, including a remix by Viktor Udvari and Khristian K.

On the A side, Swiss based artist Drea delivers an eleven minute journey into dreamy melodies and bouncing drums named forward, that definitely will make you move your body.

On the B side, the Hungarian artists Viktor Udvari and Khristian K teamed up  and created a wonderful grooving more dancefloor oriented interpretation of The A side. 

Besides the remix on the B side, Drea rounds up the release with a floating forward going track called the Seed wich showed it's dancefloor capability more then once.

The release enjoys support from artists as tini , Barac , Nu Zau , Tulbure , Amir Javasoul and Counrad.

Not unlike the first chapter, Workparty 2 mirrors the status quo within the Keinemusik camp.
Featuring Rampa, &ME, David Mayer and Adam Port, it covers all of the crews producing
stakeholders, starting off with Adam Port's '86'.

Vinyl Only 4th in the series by the man from Frankfurt, Philipp Boss.

Sedee Joins The Barcelona Based Label What.if With gravedigger Ep" - Two Bomb Tracks Vinyl That Promise To Get Locked In Your Head, With His Groovy Infectious Voice Melody And The Crazy (old Pantytec Style) Basslines Rhythms.

The 5th instalment of 4Plae's Blanc range sees label head ADMNTi partner up with label family member Casey Spillman, bringing two tracks with accompanying remixes.


‘0207’ opens up the EP with bags of bounce, accompanied by skewed chord stabs and underlying layers of glitchy vocals and effects. Casey’s A-Side contribution entitled ‘Juice Appeal’ boasts flares of garage as well as a nod to the UK’s jungle scene of the 90’s through the evolution of its rolling bassline.

Meanwhile, the flip side is dedicated to the remixes, kicking off with Spillman’s take on ‘0207’ which injects a more rowdy and raw energy into the original. ADMNTi’s rework depicts a more mellow yet steppy feel to ‘Juice Appeal’.

Kicking off 2018 with the most anticipated release on u.dig so far by the newest addition to the family, Alexis Cabrera. Trippy minimal house journey at its best.

Rosario city son Cape joins the castelar family. Four tracker EP with an outstanding remix from the usual suspect Ohm Hourani. This is not another minimal house record, certified thums up!

Ingi Visions strikes again! After their previous 'Get Slapped EP' it was time for some new heat. Blood brothers Samuel Deep and Julian Alexander known for their energetic style came up with four heavy club tunes ready for the dance floor. These tracks were played all summer and they always passed the test. Truly special illustrations by Firpo a.k.a Freschcore which symbolise two condors (two brothers) and their vision of a creature who's doing everything straight from his heart.

We are proud to release a new outstanding record with intergalactic housemusic by Mariano Mateljan (UDIG), Sander Baan (Club der Visionäre) and Dandytracks (VEKTON).

For the fifth instalment on their label the VBX crew taps frontman Ferro once more. His 'I Change, Just Like You' EP is a self proclaimed artistic statement from the man, who's rising star shows no signs of slowing down.

The name Endresonic - the A side of this two tracker - subtly references the Norwegian vocalist, who's haunting voice lends the percussion heavy and uplifting track a visceral quality. It's the type of track that you will be humming the day after you heard it being played out by your favourite DJ, wondering what it could be.

Dark Revelations on the flip feels almost like the Mr Hyde to Endresonic's Dr Jekyll. Countless heady modulating soundscapes, gurgling bleeps and blobs, subtle percussive elements and an eerie voice - with Ferro's signature groove as the backbone holding it all together - ensure a trippy, almost cerebral, listening experience. 'I Change, Just Like You' provides the listener with an aural glimpse into the multidimensional universe of sounds that Ferro calls home.

Time Passages boss Binh is a big fan of Innershades. Last year he brought the Belgian producer to the label for the very first time and here offers up another four tracks from the rave-loving rising star. He hits the ground running with "It's Time", a warehouse-ready throb-job full of new beat riffs and creepy electronics, before offering up another funky Euro techno cut that sounds like it could have been played at an after-party in 1990 ("Forum"). Elsewhere, "Euphoria In Ginza" is a deliciously chiming and melodious breakbeat-house workout, while "No Romantic" is another retro-futurist romp full of squelchy synth bass and rushing, turn-of-the-90s style nostalgic riffs

Vinyl Only! 'THREADS003', the third Release is served and it's curated by Robbenspierre; Hand-stamped Edition.

First release from the new label from the french south side, Shotgun, by Yamen & EDA. The duo from Montpellier is bringing their vibe again, after a bunch of records on the finest label at the moment. Four tracks, minimal and dancefloor oriented, with flow and class as always. From 8-4 to Mtp, with love.

Part 2 of London Collective F&Z aka Dan Farserelli & Seb Zito.

Orpheus Recordings proudly presents the first physical release in their catalogue with no other than Rumania’s groove master Mihai Popoviciu! Titled single ’GUM’ with three amazing remixes.

For this release, Mihai delivers some straight 4 on the floor drum patterns, unmistakable groovy snares blended with hypnotic pads and ‘crushy’ effects. A dance floor weapon you can’t go wrong with!

On the remix duties we have Argentinian raising talent Gabriel Gorostidi aka ‘Londonground’ giving ‘GUM’ a more mysterious tweak. For the second remix Federico Morton and Marco Donato aka ‘Italoboys’ need no introduction. The UK based duo give ‘GUM’ a more ‘darktech’ approach with scattered percussions, dope vocals and big room pads. Che bravi, exquisite!

To wrap up the pack, label heads Max Alzamora and Fernando Vidal aka ‘Nuclius’ better known together in Lima’s underground scene as the duo ‘NUMAX’ build a more laid-back deep minimal re-shape. Pick your poison and set your spell on the ‘dancefloor’.

ONLY VINYL.

Back in 2018, Lumière Noire celebrated its first anniversary with a compilation featuring thirteen exclusive tracks by an eclectic group of electronic musicians – a family portrait of sorts. A few months later, a second volume of From Above, compiled by the label's artistic director (and DJ) Chloé, once more brings thirteen established acts together with promising upstarts. The first compilation was the embodiment of the label policy advocating for both artistic excellence and a widening of electronic aesthetics – bopping from deviant house music to adventurous IDM and to the rigor of dancefloor techno, among other electronic explorations. Some of the artists featured are now closely associated with Lumière Noire, while others were more established performers such as Benedikt Frey, Lauer, Jonathan Fitoussi, Il Est Vilaine, Dave e Brun (half of Swayzak) and Frank Agrario, as well as upcoming artists such as C O N T R A (a side project by none other than Iñigo Vontier), Sutja Gutierrez, Théo Muller, Markus Gibb, Bajram Bili, and a sprinkling of UFOs circling the genre (Suuns' Ben Shemie, Drvg Cvltvre, and electro-acoustic combo Lumi). This group photo laid down a number of paths for a label in perpetual evolution.

Since then, the Parisian entity has continued to grow within the international electronic scene, releasing Local Suicide's Leopard Gum EP, Iñigo Vontier's first LP, and planning another slew of releases for 2020. The lineup for this second volume of From Above is once again equally intriguing, offering a crescendo-like track listing over a double LP format, which is a feat of sorts for a "Various Artists" compilation.

Marc Mélias' fascinating, unsettling Permanent Waves gets the proceedings going with a contemplative track that provides a serene opening to the odyssey on which From Above will be taking the listener. Pletnev continues on with the playful, hooky Marco O’Polo, a fundamentally techno track built over a seductive 90s-inspired breakbeat. Douglas Greed (whom Chloé remixed on BPitch a few years back, and had himself remixed track from her album Endless Revisions featuring Ben Shemie’s vocals), supplies Vancouver, a slice of ambiance à la Boards of Canada, supported by a gripping breakbeat. The rhythmic arpeggio of Israeli producer's Middle Sky Bloom makes his contribution a hypnotic, disconcerting slice of dark disco. Thomass Jackson, a safe bet in the new wave of the Latin-American electronic music blowing its sometimes hot, sometimes cold wind, proposes Mithra, a dancefloor incantation to the Antiquity's bull god. With Bells, Goldmoon delivers a track that is both melodic and nostalgic, tinged with rhythmic samples, Moog basses and solar backgrounds. Longtime friend of Chloé, Krikor, who has released two albums on L.I.E.S. Records (Pacific Alley and Saudi), offers a moment of respite with Sally Hardesty (a nod to fans of horror movies), a heavenly and bewitching track that, paradoxically, hints at the highly energetic second half of the compilation. Discovered with Confidences EP released on Lumière Noire, the young French producer Morgan Blanc asserts himself here with Werde Der Du Bist ("Become who you are"), a song with luminous chords and midtempo rhythms to start the second half of the compilation by raising the tension. Galician producer, DJ and designer Cora Novoa continues the rollercoaster's ascent with her Virtual Aesthetics, which once again brings those acid tones – this time without the vertigo. Equally corrosive, but tenser and more percussive, the uncategorizable NSDOS' AL-G attempts to give order to a chaotic electronic world full of violence and danger. Rebeka Warrior (half of the duo Kompromat alongside compatriot Vitalic), takes on a more nostalgic vibe with Ich Komme Zurück, a French/German techno chant evoking a secret dream of a track from a bygone era. Three years after the release by Lumière Noire of Moderna and Theus Mago's stroboscopic Dog Is Calling You, Theus Mago makes a solo comeback with Idealistic Stone, a most acid of club tracks, rattled by the modulations of the inevitable TB 303. French electro-rock saltwarth Yan Wagner's dancefloor alter ego The Populists' Prehistoric Lemurs gives an almost Orientalizing twist to Kraftwerk's techno-pop. To close things off, the collection's last track, the appropriately-named Instant Track by impromptu encounter between Hervé Carvalho (Acid Arab), Jacques Bon (Smallville) and Demian (Kompakt) Acid Love Triangle, releases the pressure with a long, bittersweet reverie that leaves the listener, at the end of these thirteen musical adventures, to rest languorously on an artificial and welcoming shore.

finally repressed !

Incoming…! 2019 ends with a bang as we unveil the second release from tINI’s Part Of The Gang record label. An extension of her tINI And The Gang parties, which were conceived in Ibiza, the label will act as a home for music from tINI’s close circle of friends and collaborators. On this second release we have one of the Gang’s long standing members, Bodeler. The eclectic Argetinian has been spinning at tINI’s parties for a while now, so it makes sense to have him on board. Across three track he demonstrates his penchant for nuanced dancefloor weaponry, making this a must-have EP. Ricardo Villalobos has been supporting ‘Ridrum’ in his sets, so you know this is a special one… Kicking things off it’s ‘Ridrum’, a pumping cut driven by organic-sounding percussion spliced with crisp 4x4 drum programming. The bass is hypnotic, pulsating in tandem with the beats to create a scintillating track - when the vocal calls out “Radio”, the dancefloor goes crazy.
On ‘Bom Gates’ Bodeler incorporates a repeated vocal clip to cultivate a mesmerising atmosphere. After a short breakdown, another vocal sample joins the fray alongside a deadly b-line and sharp, sturdy claps. Lastly, ‘Klepex’ gives us a heady ride into unexplored terrains. The low end groans with a low slung groove, while gentle pads add a touch of mystique. It’s a masterful combination of contrasting layers, closing the EP in style.

Repress!

The strong first release on new label Morchelle comes from ESTMODE.

A mix of analog and digital hands brought up this little EP. On side A we find a solid beat engaging rhythm that grabs you and carries you along.

Conviction is the word to describe side B, with an awesome thick synth coming in the middle of everything that definitely characterise and particularise a lot the track.

Something to impress with, a must have record.

Low Impossible Rendez-Vous is an hypnotic and meandering house excursion by swing maestro Guillaume and his jazzed out Coutu Dumonts. From the funked up and highly danceable heat of A1 to the spaced-out drum ornaments and rider-on-the-stormesque keys of A2, the wriggly run of this record finally flows over into a deep slow burner on the B side - atmospheric elegance. Guillaumes inimitable expertise for intuitive dance patterns made him a well seen suspect on neat labels like Circus Company, Hartchef Discos, Karat, Oslo, Mutek or Vincent Lemieuxs Musique Risquée. Long in the making this EP is the logical continuation of a longtime friendship between Guillaume and the Meander gang. 'Everything in good time' was the slogan on this one and Impossible Rendez-Vous seems to bring together elements that would have, otherwise, been pulled apart by gravity and time. This debut on Meander certainly shapes great things to come. Featured musicians: A1 - Vocal and lyrics by Dynamike (Michel Ndeze), Guitar by Alexis Messier, Keys by Nicolas Boucher and Saxophone by Sébastien Arcand-Tourigny A2 - Drums by Andre Seidel - recorded by Felix Gebauer at KMA Studios Berlin. Mastering and cut by Helmut Erler at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin.
