Ritter Butzke celebrates it's ten year anniversary! In the last decade the colourful and diverse night club grew to a considerable and international renowned institution in Berlin. For this occasion we are more than happy to welcome Extrawelt, Oliver Koletzki & Niko Schind, Monkey Safari and N'to on our Ritter Butzke Studio label. We hope you'll enjoy our „Ritter Butzke – 10 Years“ as much as we did and
still do!

Ander B's music is increasingly abstract, profound and packed with rhythmic trances.

The sounds he creates are based on classic house, which he melds with thick layers of Detroit and Chicago House. 'The Black Sun' is his second 12" for Czech label Beef Records, following the Delano Smith + Petre Inspirescu supported 'Outta Space' EP in 2016.
On the flip side we have remix by Lee Renacre aka 100HZ (Oblong, Bosconi).

Rush Hour announces their second artist compilation Patchwork, curated by one of the label’s most loved family members, Sassy J. The Swiss DJ is the very embodiment of passion and long-standing dedication to the craft of the DJing, but also to the community surrounding the music that she lives and breathes. For the past fourteen years Sassy J has run the Patchwork night in her native Bern and in London, with guests ranging from Theo Parrish and Little Dragon to Floating Points and MF Doom invited to share their respective musical visions. Her collaborative approach stands out in a DJ world that is too often weighted in favour of promoting the individual. This compilation grows out that unique sensitivity, foregrounding a theory of curation that centres on long-term bonds, articulated through Sassy J’s personal relationships with the contributing artists.

Patchwork speaks to the grass roots values that Sassy J espouses, showcasing music by many of the artists that have joined her throughout the years in clubs, on the radio, and at home. It is an expression of Sassy J’s individual musical path that casts its gaze firmly in the future: Patchwork is made up almost entirely of new and unreleased songs that are exclusive to this collection. Patchwork captures a sound that has continued to evolve in its restless search for new musical directions. Across thirteen tracks we find forward thinking electronic music rubbing elbows with cosmic jazz and deep percussion workouts from Brazil and beyond.

There are irresistible calls to the dancefloor: 2000 Black’s UK boogie and the syncopated rhythms of WaH-chU-kU nod to the West London sound, whilst the early rave of Nu Era and Aardvarck’s sub-rattling techno channel the grittier edges of the club experience. We find machine music imbued with humanity in Larry Heard’s deep house classic “Survivor” and in Ron Trent’s WARM project, whose gentle breeze points to a different side of the legendary producer. Patchwork also opens a more immersive listening space in which the radical indie soul of Georgia Anne Muldrow, the ambient spiritual jazz of bandleader Carlos Niño & Friends, and the lament for the Amazon rainforest by Azymuth’s drummer Ivan Conti can channel the overall spirit of group interplay and solidarity. Patchwork also includes Sassy J’s collaboration with veteran producer Alex Attias, marking her own place in a universe that is held together by her singular thread.

Was Mitte der Neunziger, initiiert vom Veranstalter-Duo Sperling & Mauss, in Jena als Partyreihe unter dem Namen - Freude am
Tanzen' begann, hat sich längst zur bekanntesten Plattform für elektronische Musik an der Saale mit bislang über sechzig Veröffentlichungen, eigenem Schwesterlabel (Musik Krause) und angeschlossener Booking-Agentur gemausert. Mit 16 Jahren auf dem noch immer jungen Buckel ist Freude am Tanzen heute auf dem besten Weg von der Adoleszenz ins Erwachsenendasein, doch dass dabei trotz gefestigter Strukturen zum Glück noch lange keine Langeweile Einzug halten muss, beweist nun die Jubiläums-Compilation SIX10 Jahre Freude am Tanzen.

Philipp Boss Is Up For The Next Sturo Intallment. Fine House And Techno Leaning Tracks Straight From Nusszeil

French Label based in Normandy, Planet Gwer aims to release la crème de la crème of House Music. We feel very glad to launch our label with Vanderkraft's first solo Vinyl EP. We thought "Ce bon vieux Jean Lassalle" and "Kimono Doux" that were originally released on La Chinerie's "Raw Streams" deserved to be put on wax so we worked on a third track that would fit the whole and there we go : Vanderkraft - Au-delà des Mers Planet Gwer - PGWER01 A. Ce Bon Vieux Jean Lassalle B1. La Romance B2. Kimono Doux

Great sounding new imprint based in Moscow and run by Vadim Lankov. The first release comes up with a quite dubby and minimalistic four-tracker, that is probably can be defined the crossing between minimal and house tech. This release is made by well-known Vadim Lankov.

Mandar are back on Oscillat Music following their stunning five-disc LP from last year, and the deep house super group are sounding as vital as ever. "String Theory" holds court over the A-side and promises to be the soundtrack to many a heart-stirring moment under starry skies this summer. The titular strings are a powerful force in this track, bringing a classy brand of emotion to the slinky dancefloor tones Mandar are best known for. "Poisoned Worlds" is a deeper club cut that places the emphasis on crafty drum science for after hours crew, providing a neat balance to the show-stopping tones of the A-side.

"Birds" ist Captain O'Haras erstes gemeinsames Release auf dem Leipziger Label Haptik. Die beiden Artists verstehen die gemeinsame Produktion als Prozess der Kommunikation, ihre Talente vereinen sich dabei im eleganten Spiel. Sein technisches Know-how und ihr Talent für Klangästhetik ergänzen und potenzieren sich und erzeugen eine einzigartige Musikerfahrung. Dieser Mix gelingt über eine experimentell-stilistische Fusion zwischen pulsierenden Rhythmen und flächigen Synth-Patterns: Neon-Nostalgia mal Deep-House hoch zwei! Drinnen und Draussen, zwischen Bühne, Club und Festival konzipiert.
Birds ist durch und durch luftiger Wald-und-Wiesen-Deep-House
von puristischer Qualität, ein aufziehender Sturm der die Vögel vom Himmel fallen lässt, She dagegen ein ganz fluider Club-Track, wobei Nannas betörende Vocals einen selbstreflexiven Moment, ein Momentim Tanz mit sich selbst vermitteln, fliessende Töne auf der dem Weg zu totaler Balance. Rondo, die rein instrumentale Collaboration von Ookami &
Mizo, gibt einen erdgebundenen und ekstatischen Deep-House-Pulsmit, erzeugt den nötigen Drive zum Eskalieren. Mizos Birds Remix rundetdie EP ab, indem er der ätherischen Qualität des Single Tracks das gewisse Quäntchen Elektrizität verleiht sowie eine treibende und düstere Atmo added.
Beim Projekt Haptik geht es vordergründig darum, die Vielfalt des Underground der elektonischen Tanzmusik zu feiern und dabei Inspiration auf allen Ebenen zu schaffen. Durch die Experimentierfreude des Labels, mit der gesamten
Bandbreite musikalischer Möglichkeiten zu spielen, ist Haptik das richtige Dach für den virtuosen Sound des Duos.

Ghent's Muzi Cartel crew step into the label game with this assured four tracker from promising emergent talents. Viktor Udvari is up first with "For Our Love", a fired up but delicately executed techno jam with plenty of harmonic balance to make for the most satisfying trip skywards. Mrsch takes things deeper and groovier on "Pas Cu Pas", leaning heavy on the bass and leaving a little more space in the mix for maximum meditation. Kled Baken's remix of Lebawski gets into a minimal house roll with spaced out licks of vocal and hazy pads, and Ray Mono nudges Barbosa's "Quinoa" into murky depths for a proper underground roller.

Presence steps in with its first EP: ALSI - Right There

The release, signed by Limpid and Einzig under the ALSI collaboration, presents itself with a thick atmosphere, a canvas for the colorful house & techno accents spread across Side A. On one hand you'll find yourself on a cosmic pursuit, when listening to Right There: each kick is meticulously carved to awaken the very gut feeling that you're on the right path. On the other hand, Locked will subtly throw you deep into a psychedelic fairytale, with fragments of strings bouncing against weird sonic shapes.
Cristi Cons & Vlad Caia aka SIT push the journey further with their sci-fi electro reinterpretation for Right There, that kind of cut that creates deja vu moments on the dance floor.

The artwork contains hidden messages, twisted inline with the sounds.

Right There sets the framework for the future Presence releases, time capsules for the ever expanding electronic underground, as we know it.

Hey boys and girls,

after a year with long nights and days sitting in the studio and shaking our bodies off, we expand our repertoire of tracks. So please understand why it took a year for the second life sign. Fasten your seatbelt and lean back and check out the sounds of birds we captured somewhere in the Canadian forest of Offenbach. Also we found Jacky upon a famous hill and took her with us in the studio. The third in a row is dedicated to a big musical influence of us.
Enjoy it, have fun and watch out! The next two releases are already in the starting block.

Amadeo Savio is next up on Vigenere, the label that has thus far presented a whole host of unknown names in the field of minimal techno all bound together by a shared classiness in their production style. Savio's approach is deep and dubby on opening cut "Isolat", one primed for the after hours. "Trance Later" has a slightly more forthright approach, but there's still plenty of mellow delights to be found in the synth department to keep you chilling. "Encor" heads into more typically minimal pastures, while "Kassion" explores broken beat patterns and fragmented samples with scintillating results.

Borneo Records welcomes Swedish made, Berlin based DJ City to the family!

As a fairly fresh face to the European dance music scene, involved with renowned musical outlets like Cocktail d’Amore and Born Free, DJ City has been turning heads with his playful and energetic style.

For Borneo’s ninth release DJ City delivers two deep dance floor cuts, referencing and paying hommage to his childhood idols, craftily combining well known building blocks into future classics.

”Sierra Madre” is a warm and deep dive into the aesthetics of the late 90s electronic music scene, balancing between lush pads and low bit rates. Steadily it progresses as the loops unfold and evolve into an ambient landscape of clear peaks and valleys. Dreamy and suggestive without becoming too literal or camp, it invites its listener to let the mind wander during the course of the dance.

On the flip side, “5426261” is a more playful feature as its percussion and somewhat off tune melodies roll out. The texture is light and invites its listener to venture in thought to an imaginary Mediterranean location right before dawn. The enigmatic title is repeated in a sample towards the end, implicating it is a phone number. Who are you trying to reach?

A-SIDE
Soaked in its sunset nostalgia by the Mamaian waterfronts, the EPs A-side 'About space and future' relocates us onto the ever-moving engine of curious kicks and rhythmic indulgence that is Costin Rp. A deep sense of groove, brings us along on his narrow excursion to the ethereal - and otherworldly.


B-SIDE
With a more esoteric voice, the B-side brings 'Phil Ther'. A dreamy mechanism built around its tense releases of glimmering echoes and reverberations. As it serves genuine moments of sadness, optimism, fear and peace; the austere and raw emotions end in its kaleidoscopic manner - that is 'About space and future (Tour)’.

Sonet Music sets out with the goal of putting forward captivating music from the deeper end of the electronic music spectrum.

For This Viny Only label initial release Romanian Catalin Postelnicu aka Gruia takes us on a journey to a dystopic sonic plane.

The three tracks featured on Some Kind of Heaven gather energy, depth and detail in a distinct collection you're certain to revisit time and again.

After its first three releases, July Z imprint presents its fourth release

Moon Harbour is delighted to announce the Autumn 2016 release of Momentum, the second full length album
from label boss Matthias Tanzmann. Arriving eight years after his debut LP Restless, the outstanding follow-up
impressively demonstrates that his artistic restlessness has not been decreasing over the last couple of years.
On the contrary, Momentum undoubtedly proves once more that Matthias' impact on the scene is still steadily
growing with an end not in sight and that his efforts to advance are ever moving forward.
Recent times have found Matthias having huge success via fruitful collaborations with the likes of Martin
Buttrich, Davide Squillace and Daniel Stefanik, amongst others, but now back on his own and more energetic
than ever, he is firing on all cylinders as a solo artist. Loosely rooted in a variety of house styles, Momentum
shows a subtle return to some of Tanzmann's earliest musical roots. Just as Matthias declares himself, It is stuff
to listen to at home, stuff I like to listen to away from the club', before adding that, of course, it also contains
tracks that are 100% what I love playing in my DJ sets.'
The ten track release is an impulsive and emotionally moving affair that offers a fantastic snapshot into the
current musical mind of the artist. With a process initially starting during his times abroad in Thailand and South
America, this most coherent and complete album has been slowly coming together over the last five years. In
customary manner, the album is quite different to a normal EP from the German producer, given that it features
plenty of deeper and more cerebral moments than most of his past works.
With a perfect mixture between listening pleasure and pure dancefloor material, Momentum contains tracks
ranging from deep and broody house style with warm pads streaming over infectious drums to serene and
atmospheric jams with real funk in their bones. Next to more downtempo sultry house vibes, the harder, more
freaky tunes will get floors bumping with their punchy drums, wiggling synths, drilling bass and loopy vocal
sounds. With more soul infused party grooves rounding up the experience, the release truly brings along the
whole range of carefully plotted ups and downs necessary for casting the listener under a hypnotic and heartfelt
spell of house music.

The album will be celebrated with a worldwide release tour from October to December 2016, highlighting once
more that only a few have the exact same sense of electronic music artistry as this man does.

Krad with his third album brings us two original tracks of Hernan Bass, composed under catchy rhythms that go from the microhouse to the minimal deep tech, also using female voices from Italy in one of the tracks or deep sounds in the other:
But the album does not end here, two strong remixes appear, one by Manuel de Lorenzi, which adapted its version to a stronger groove for the dancefloor, whereas Basti Grub made its version more delicate and refined, which can even be adapted to the dance floor pretty good.
