More then six years after their first EP the Hannover based Crew has released its 10th Vinyl and it's again a real special one.
The white 10inch comes with two massive Tracks from the leaders of the label and an awesome Design by Kiatone.

Next up on Handcrafted, Berlin-based producer Just_Me teams up with label founder Nazt to deliver the Fractal Formations EP. The final result is a deep, yet swinging track accompanied by moody pads that showcases the diversity of the producers.

The Original is followed by Alexkid and Carlos Sanchez's individual reinterpretations.
Although very different, both remixes are finely crafted for the dancefloor, while still maintaining hints of the track's original mood.

Being our long-time favorites, we are happy to have Alexkid and Carlos Sanchez rounding up the concept of this collaborative release.

Matthew Herbert makes his debut on Ben Freeney's Foom label with "The Recording"-an EP written, produced and recorded in one week in Berlin in front of (and with the participation of) a live audience.

Opener "Day Three" is one of Matthew Herbert's most exuberant dancefloor tracks in a while, its rhythms awash with mischief and urgency. "Day Five" is all intricate, shuffling high-end, booming toms, reverb and piano, while the throbs, murmurs and restless percussion of "Day Seven" bring the EP to a close.

Created from start to finish during a week-long residency at the Tischlerei Deutsch Oper, all sounds used were recorded during the course of the residency.'

GENESIS begins its journey with an exclusive vinyl release that consist of 2 original tracks from Nima Gorji & Audiotheque.

Sitting down and writing about our latest EP was a fun but challenging exercise, we scratched our heads and this may sound bad but we couldn't think of deep, dark interesting stories on how we made these tracks or what they represent. These jams are simply a combination of previous and random happy accidents that have come together and saying anything else would be a lie. This however does not mean that the thinking behind them is completely random, the three cuts that we selected for this EP we feel are a journey of experimentation and a culmination of unexpected sounds and feelings. A word that we found best described the EP was 'Irony'. The most ironic thing we feel is that the main basis of these tracks were born on the stage during our live performances and they have now been reworked and moulded into a record. We however feel that this brings an interesting element to the EP that yes it is recorded and set, but you are not quite sure where the next sound or feeling will come from. A hi hat A kick It is pure 'organised randomness'... I suppose we should talk about some of the music and try and explain what we mean! We start with 'Pe dos', which in plain English means inside out and it was a track that we had started back in 2011. We were flicking through our 'curiosity closets' one day and found it, we played around with it and heard a kick drum that was not arranged correctly in the sequence due to a random manipulation of the sequencer. Our first thought was to just change it, but then we decided to wait..... when all the other sounds of the tracks came together we threw the kick back in and BAM, Even the acapella voice of the track was screaming. Therefore it was a simple for us to name this track as we worked on it in a completely back to front and 'Inside Out' way!

Oyoyoyi what a fuc***g wax arrived .

NO FACE < NO NAME < JUST MUSIC

Absolut Begginers, is the work already matured of a trip of Djs, producers and a family of friends that give life to a new label, which is the only one in Iberoamerica that brings together the important fragmwentos of the old school of techno and house, as the avant-garde and the novelty of day to day.

The first show has four cool cuts that run and fly between deep techno and minimal house.
So many original tracks of (ØNE + 1) & CAMILO GIL, as in their remixes thought very carefully to educate the public today.

On the one hand, the legendary, owner of an own sound, that raised labels like MOSAIC - CRAYON in the UK, we talk about Mark Ambrose, and a spectacular remix, full of rhythms, enigma, and depth.

On the other hand more current, we have a key piece of the new litter of Frankfurt is a more house side, is the great Sascha Dive, with that game that, or does unicop in mixing elements of Europe and America in their productions, and that in This remix has irresistible elements to the dance.

We can say that a label is born, which will be unique in the world and that the music culture will be the flag of war in each production

Norse Projekt returns with its 7th instalment, this time round Norse welcomes Venda from Australia with 3 original tracks accompanied by a remix from Dubtil.

Butter Side Up Records keeps up its early momentum with another standout EP, this time from Parisian beat maker Sweely. Of course, the 12" once again comes with artwork by Sophie Doulala and expertly explores a mix of heady and spaced out grooves.
William Montana is right at the vanguard of the current French scene. Blurring the lines between minimal, electro and house for the last few years, he has been installed as resident at the cult Parisian club Concrete and has previously impressed with releases on the likes of Lobster Theremin, Negentropy and Automatic Writing. This latest outing marks another tasteful step up.
Opener He's Mine has a slick and squelchy bassline carrying crisp broken beats off into the cosmos. It's a journeying track that really takes you somewhere. Next up, the Girls Are Watching is a rubbery minimal pumper with buoyant kicks and warped, tripped out synths that bring brilliantly off-kilter feelings. The flips side features the hard hitting title track - a driving fusion of electro sound designs, propulsive drum work and a killer baseline that burrows deep. Last of all, Hotel Corsica zones you out with dreamy pad work. Icy and slippery hi hats add to the late night atmosphere while withering chords bring the warmth. Private Navigation is an EP prime for plenty of classy dance floor adventures.

Deep Tech finest - special release.

It has been 13 years since Cobblestone Jazz debuted on the now infamous IIWII imprint, and in March of 2015 things will come full circle with the trio from Canada returning for the 16th release on the label where it all started. 'Northern Lights' features tight gated keys layered with complex harmonies and soaring pad swells. Equally suited for peak time and sunrise, it is an incredibly versatile piece for the crate and clocks in at an ever evolving 11+ minutes 'Drawn From The Side Of Crime' is found on the flip, and is another long and twisting musical journey running just shy of 13 minutes. Its foundation is a meditative bassline that rolls underneath for the duration. Hints of a beautiful modal Rhodes line tease throughout the arrangement, adding a complex depth to the fabric of the piece. These recordings were done in one pass over a three day period in 2013, and edits were culled this past winter. The record as a whole is arguably their most musical and expansive release to date, which all things considered is quite a statement in itself. Cobblestone Jazz are extremely proud to be sharing this release on the imprint from where they began.

The Pathway Traxx journey keeps pressing forward and once again brings a well curated EP of quality underground house. We are particularly excited to welcome back DJ W!LD to the label who once again brings his signature stripped back powerful grooves. Remix support comes in from underground favourite Giuliano Lomonte and label boss Niko Maxen.

Limited to 200 copies, this release is the first of the 5 12" from the Thomas Brinkmann Retrospektiv 5xlp box set. The 5 individual 12" will be released through 2018. Thomas Brinkmann is one of the great producers of Techno music and modern dance music. He initially gained notoriety in the experimental electronic music and Techno community for his full-length 'variations' of material by Wolfgang Voigt under his Mike Ink moniker, and Richie Hawtin. The variations were made by playback of the original artist records on a turntable of Brinkmann's design, which has two tone arms with separate outputs for left and right channels. The turntables were then pitched down from 33rpm to 27rpm and the results recorded and mixed. Both Voigt and Hawtin were sufficiently impressed they released the results on their own labels. Since then Thomas Brinkmann has produced some all-time classic dance tracks, many of which are collected here in what is a personal selection by Thomas Brinkmann himself. There are unreleased tracks, different versions, and tracks that have never been released on vinyl.

Two smooth slices of organ-bass goodness from Pager resident, Tiago Walter, as 2X turns their colours from white to red.

Italy based producer and DJ Alessio Viggiano has been steadily making his mark on the contemporary house scene over the past few years via release on the likes of Yoruba Grooves, Floorpiece Music, Beste Modus sub-label Beste Freunde and Brain On Couch amongst others. Here though we see him delivering his latest extended play for Cinthie's we_r_house. 'Swing Frequency' leads, as the name would suggest embracing a heavily swung feel rhythmically alongside modulating synths and swirling pads. 'Crispy Nuts' follows with robust drums, bumpy bass stabs and an amalgamation of intricately programmed synth shots. 'Slam Dunk' opens the B-Side next with skippy drums, airy chords and resonant bleeps ebbing and flowing within before 'Atomizer' closes the package, laying focus on swinging snares, rides and Rhodes alongside a snaking bass groove to keep things moving.

For the 6th publication of Malonian Andrei Ciubuc (VRAC) from Bucharest and Offenbach based label head Frank Frost (Pressure Traxx) present their interpretation "of the Spatel". Ciubuc already has contributed a remix for Malonian001 and Frost delivers two classic Techno Tracks on the flip side. Malonian is part of the BE9 network.

Supported by: Raresh, Petre Inspirescu, Rhadoo, Dan Andrei, Praslea, Suciu, Sedee, Fabe, Einzelkind.

The next EP to land on VL Recordings comes from none other than the label chief himself, Hector.
Reanimating the label with a solid three-tracker named 'Rogue Traders', this is the producer's first solo dispatch on the imprint since his inaugural 'Jacuzzi Killer' EP in 2016.
'Rogue Traders' unleashes a torrent of brooding club cuts. Kicking off with the title track - a moody, cold-blooded weapon, and finishing on the thrumming bassline that supercharges 'Self Made', we're left feeling hellbent on finding Hector behind the booth.

TXLAX is Dave Aju’s first album in five years, and we couldn’t be more pleased to present it.

As always there is plenty of fresh genre-defying ideas in the music, but this time wrapped in a much more relaxed and focussed aesthetic - a fitting personal soundtrack for the homecom-ing theme of his move back to Los Angeles from Berlin, as the combined airport letters in the title suggest.

There is a sonic stylistic bridge of sorts between the sister cities on display as well, all im-bued with that inimitable combination of raw playfulness and warm refined soul as only Dave Aju does.

From the soaring West Coast future funk opener “Bird’s Eye”, the nautical disco-not-disco of tomorrow in “Out To C” and the bugged-out broken beat flavor of “Silverfish” to the slick me-lodic electro vibes of the title track, and gorgeous shuffling deep house closer “Yulia”, TXLAX is a masterwork filled with beauty, character, and detail that will reward many repeat listens. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

vinyl only!

The new JWB comes courtesy of Pattern Drama (Get Physical, Akbal) his first EP into the label, he teamed up with a talent producer and singer Jonny Cruz for a four-track EP overflowing with personality.

From the deep groove Sin city' with it's warm vocal textures and 90´s allusions is a perfect track for dancing on a rooftop and watching a city descend into the underground.

We the people is propelled by a timeless sense of sound and immaculate production, synths, percusions and much love.

Obsession' incorporating ideas into his highly polished tracks resulting in an aesthetic that is owes as much to New York sound.

Waiting Around' Pattern references classic deep sounds, at the same time never losing his sense of identity and groove that characterise his music.
