Carebears are back again with a space journey between microhouse sounds.

Vinyl Only, dedicated to my family, my supporters and all the music lovers. The seventh chapter is coming from Ish who delivered 4 futuristic tracks. A collection of sci-fi samples combined with international dialogue match spacey and futuristic synthesizers sounds followed by clean saturated drums grooves. Influenced by is background Ish is creating his own vision of electronic dance music.

Lescale Recordings continues to affirm itself as an essential young imprint of contemporary techno music. Label founder Ramona Yacef teams up with the long-established artists Triptease, Topper and Luminér to offer a deep release narrating a story through a musical journey. Available exclusively on vinyl, the EP opens with ‘Visconte’, where the iconic group Triptease (Visionquest) blends an uninterrupted flow of harmonic atmospheres that brilliantly interweave together. Up next, the duo Luminér (Body Parts) expands the sounds with ‘Write Me A Love Letter’, and drops a range of deep emotional beats. On the flip, Ramona Yacef herself works her magic on ‘Allegretto’ and stamps elegant rhythms with progressive synths which weave in joyful builds. To close the set, Topper (Sleep Is Commercial), the contemporary voodoo child, takes ‘The Truth’ to task, combining minimal elements with experimental and distinctive textures.

After launching Pământ with a lauded outing from local Australian hero Venda, Unic return to their sub-label with a visceral new Ep. The baton passes to Ukrainian legend Yaroslav Lenzyak, who holds nothing back, channelling his devastating signature sound across 3 cuts. His ability to lure the listener into a deeply meditative state is on full display here, as raw and writhe rhythmic elements move briskly beneath bold experimental resonances. The veteran producer painting a truly vivid sonic picture.

tRicMast for those who know…

Recordstore & Electronic Music Label from Neapolitan underground scene.

Spell PETS backwards to get STEP. Spell STEP forwards and you get PETS going back to basics. STEP is the new vinyl-only label from the founders of PETS "Catz n Dogz" with a focus on the rawest forms and root functions of dance music. STEP searches for the fundamentals with under-theradar house and techno that's not afraid to be rough around the edges. It's all about the music.

Long lost D.H.S. bombs finally back to life, no introduction needed.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This second release by Quinrok1 on Worq Records bumps, chugs and takes you on a journey! These 4 tracks are essential for mixers across all electronic platforms. By way of Chicago, the record reflects the sounds of the urban underground dance floor.

Enigmatic Welsh producer Jorg Kuning lands on Facta and K-LONE’s Wisdom Teeth imprint with a four track EP of psychedelic, sunkissed modular house-and-techno. Like so many great artists emanating from the lush Welsh valleys (think Steevio, Leif, Duckett et al) Jorg creates distinctly pastoral dance music that is in equal parts playful, deep, melodic and eccentric. Through a string of low-key sell-outs on his own Bakk Heia label, the producer has already developed a unique signature sound and a burgeoning cult following to boot, with early adopters including Ben UFO, Call Super and Shanti Celeste. The record opens with ‘Chosta-del-sol’ - a noodling polyphony of warm pads, warping plucks and oozing modular noise that stretches and sprawls over a sun-baked house beat. Next up, the two-stepping rhythms of ‘Ex-tensor’ provide a bruk backbone for a constantly-crescendoing symphony of warbling chords, glitching melodies and fluttering pads. On the flip, ‘Rhos Fiddle’ sees the artist hit a more driving, peak-time pace - whilst ‘TB-SB’ sees him at his most skeletal, recalling Skull Disco-era Shackleton.

Welcome Silat Beksi to Sounds Of Sirius Familia.

When Silat Beksi visited New Zealand, he immediately felt in love with the freedom and the open minds of the people on this land.

We are very grateful to see Silat supporting our first 2 releases, his passion, talent, and his amazing heart is something that is remarkable nowadays in the music scene. Since there Herman Saiz visualised how this galactic brother would fit perfectly for SOSNZ003.

This EP has been created especially for Silat’s New Zealand’s friends and the whole music community which work within the underground scene in Aotearoa.

In this release, Silat’s essence, energy and vibes are powerfully broadcasted through this EP.

Early Support: Mihai Pol, Dewalta, Miroloja, Doubtingthomas and Herman Saiz.

This is a very satisfying moment for us as a label, we present to you 4 original clean cuts from the very experienced Dieru, reigning from Baja, California (Mexico).

His minimalistic super clean diverse sounds resonate well on the dancefloor. These 4 cuts are no different showcase a variety of styles bracing the label with a very diverse and sophisticated debut vinyl release.

Dieru has really set the tone with this EP!

(Anil Aras, Kepler, Thoma Bulwer & Anna Wall, & Laidlaw mixes)

For a few years a while ago, Robert James was one of the hottest names in house. He ushered in the post-minimal era with colourful, accessible sounds that brought some much needed life and charm back to the scene. After disappearing for a time he returned with his debut album in May and now some of it gets some top remixes. Slapfunk's Anil Aras pumps a nice cosmic house vibe, Kepler does his tight, high tempo work and Thoma Bulwer & Anna Wall combine their skills once more on a clipped, punchy tech house version of 'Planet 90.' Laidlaw lays out some electronic drum funk with a fine version of 'Infinity' to close.

For this California label’s second release, they once again reach across the pond for one of Europe’s cuttiest.


Like.Minded presents Italy’s Zenk, label head of Micro Orbit Records.


Suburbs hits the ground running with a skittering purcussive cut, a versatile tool that could find its place anywhere from peak time groove to afterhours tripouts. Red Forest opens with understated, yet lush 90’s tech house inspired pads, then rolling into a contemplative forward-driven cruiser. Zenk dirties up his grooveboxes a bit on Uriel, nicely contrasting a lighter side of the EP, with whispy vocal samples and airy melodics. Closing things out, COSMJN channels the drums on Uriel and transforms it into a punchy bleeped out roller.

Label founder Alexander Skancke serves up a more tripped-out fusion between house and techno for the fourth release on the Quirk imprint.

TIME FOR LOVE - TIME FOR RAVE

Smoothly grooves and minimal vibes inside. Carebears in love.

While so many follow the status quo, Mat Zo has always danced to the beat of his own drum. From his days topping both the drum & bass and trance charts simultaneously (releasing on Hospital Records as MRSA), to his current status as a big room innovator, collaborating with Public Enemy's Chuck D and dropping genre-blurring 70-track contributions to BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix, the precocious talent is destined to play by his own rules.

Supported by DJs as diverse as Skrillex, Madeon, Pete Tong, Above & Beyond, Steve Aoki and A-Trak, the LA-living producer's much anticipated debut LP 'Damage Control' is a bold, brilliantly diverse statement of intent from one of the scene's most unique talents. In a world of EDM sound a likes, this is electronic dance music with integrity and ambition. The release of the album will coincide with an extensive upcoming world headline tour, which sees Zo playing renowned dance music hubs such as Ministry of Sound in London, Light in Las Vegas, Create/Avalon in Los Angeles, Miami's LIV nightclub, Toronto's Guvernment and New York City's famed Pacha. (See full list of dates below).

The product of nearly three years dedicated work, 'Damage Control' represents a star of the future coming of age. Including his Beatport No.1 smash 'Easy' (feat. Porter Robinson) and recent hook-up with hip-hop legend Chuck D (Public Enemy) on 'Pyramid Scheme', Zo's 14-track LP also features the sun-soaked melodies of his innovative future single 'Lucid Dreams' - another track that perfectly embodies his uniquely quirky take on big room sounds.

What really sets the album apart from the pack are its diversions away from the dancefloor. 'Damage Control' takes in everything from electro-charged French house ('Only For You' feat. Rachel K. Collier), classy trance vibes ('The Sky' feat. Linnea Schossow) and big room progressive, through to wonky, trap-styled beats ('Caller ID' and 'Little Damage'), UK garage updates ('EZ') and hip-hop ('Moderate Stimulation').

Retaining a cohesive thread throughout thanks to Zo's unmistakable sense of fun and infectious grasp of melody, 'Damage Control' is tipped as one of the most forward-thinking debut artist albums of 2013.

Untitled Musica, the Faro-based collective and party series, launch their vinyl-only-label with Romanian maestro RQZ on debut duty.
Night Dweller EP is a stunning 3-tracker with the perfect blend of hypnotic and unique soundscapes.

Our 8th release comes from 2 Mannheim based artists and good mates Wave Particle Singularity and Jeann who have supplied us with 3 peak time groovers aimed straight for the floor! The A side features 2 straight up thumpers while the B side is a proper traditional B side which takes things slightly down the more trippy/hypnotic/floaty route!

Invade Records invites Russia based Tripmastaz with 3 original sexy grooves supported with a raw trippy sounding Franck Roger remix. Enjoy!

For this twelfth release, Daydream is very happy to welcome two new talents in the family – Lorik and Rupert Ellis – alongside two historical members – MJOG and Stevn.aint.leavn. Four top producers who deliver a punchy and groovy various filled with micro vibe and dreamy sounds.

A decade since its first release, Naural has established a reputation for seeking out and releasing quality music & a cohesive body of work. The ten-years old label celebrates its anniversary by releasing a classically rooted minimal on 10-inches, curated by Stekke & Thome.

Blueprint is a track that finds the Brazilian producers golden ratio, making for a studiously deep percussive meditation. The track detours into unmapped terrain— centered around a whirling melody of soft white noise, while the loop locks you in.

Octave Pad, delivered by Stekke on the flip side, taps into a perkier disposition and a ruder bassline. Its slinky drums are addictive, especially when they're padded by deep rumbles of sub-bass.

Dig in, I say; play, repeat.

Following our deep & dubby vibes, this time is our good friend Areon from Greece, as usual, there is no

Vinyl Only - Limited Edition

!!!! repressed by huge demand !!! heavy load - elected tunes is a cool new label from east germany. headliner is oscar (karateklub, karatemusik, confused) !!! ep 002 comes with markus lange & rec de weirl - watch out !!!

When Jazz meets minimal music something magical happens. Every track from this EP has its own flavor but comes in a neat package, nonetheless. Clever Sampling is combined with precise bleeps and percussions and underlaid with heavily swung basslines. These guarantee to keep every hip on the dancefloor in sync. The Remix from Philipp Boss has a more acoustic feel with the groovy bass riff. Surely a fitting addition to complete this EP

Sanguina Original Series is back, this time with Kirik, Macarie, Bucurie&dot13 and Michel Degen.

3am Recordings brings you its debut album, from label boss Al Bradley. While it would be much easier to get some huge name in for this who is previously unrelated to 3am, it was never going to be like that here. Staying true to the ethos of the label, it was important that this milestone was a reection of the label and what it has always stood for. The move back to vinyl in 2015 has rmly planted the label back
in its place as one of the UK's most consistent for house music, retaining its value of working with artists who have been involved with the label over its 19-year history, or who have been rm supporters of 3am during its time. Over the 9 cuts there are a variety of vibes, 'Little Treasures' aims to cover a selection of sounds that represent Al's inuences & styles, having been buying records since the mid-80s &
playing vinyl as DJ since he got his decks in 1991. The past is important as it represents where we started, the future is equally important, as it's the area of the unknown & we have to embrace it...

Covering deep house, dub techno, broken beats, raw machine funk, beatless ambience & more, the album is one that is danceoor-aimed, but works beyond that area too. With support from the likes of Placid (We're Going Deep), Carlo Gambino (We_R_House), Lolu Menayed
(Rawtrax), Lars Behrenroth (Deeper Shades of House), Loz Goddard (Oath), James Reid (Sonet), Moodymanc (2020Vision) & many more, the album reaches right across the spectrum of electronic music.

Nelle Matt is a two mind's creation. It is about sharing with the world the essence of a new music concept. 180gr. Vinyl only.

Alex Albrecht is a new artist on Mule Musiq.

Introducing DAT (Italy) debut release on M-Tone wax. A solid,
bouncy 4 track EP crafted for club use.

With 44 releases across 12 years since its inception, Butane's infamous Alphahouse imprint closes its doors this June as he welcomes long time colleagues and friends Alexi Delano and Worldline to shape up the final EP on the label 'Omega'.

Having established the imprint back in 2005, Andrew Rasse aka Butane's Alphahouse has served as an example of unapologetic underground quality and curation for over a decade. With previous releases from the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Ryan Crosson, Ion Ludwig, Quenum, Mark Broom and of course Rasse himself, the final Alphahouse EP welcomes back another staple of the imprints success, Chilean Alexi Delano, and mysterious American talent Worldline who marks his debut on the label.

'Sometimes in order to grow, you have to leave things behind. It's time for a fresh start... the final Alphahouse record. Alpha/Omega' - Butane.

The A-side sees Delano and Rasse effortlessly re-combine and pick up where they left off in 2013. 'Bass Theory' is an energetic, blooming production that lays the focus on raw crunchy drum licks, chunky bass slabs and an ever- evolving melody that eases listeners into a state of trance, before 'Jazz Lick' reveals a lighter aesthetic with a delicate jazz-infused lead line, filtered vocal loops and crisp organic percussion that hold the production in sync.

On the flip Butane is joined by a new collaborator, Los Angeles-based underground fashion designer Worldline for two brooding cuts. 'How Deep' kicks things off showcasing eerie low ends layered beneath tripped out vocals and hypnotic, meandering chords. 'What We Do' wraps up the esteemed Alphahouse catalog in style. An underground manifesto with a trademark Butane groove and Wordline's vocals punctuating over a decade of work. That's a wrap.

In true Alphahouse style, Rasse signs off here alongside two extremely talented artists with an EP that radiates understated sophistication and intricacy throughout, whilst opening the door to his new project 'Extrasketch' in the most fitting and suitable way imaginable. Stay tuned; this is only just the beginning...
