Killer electro/wave tracks by Black Pond. Black Pond is a collaboration of underground star Beta Evers and Jeff Galea from the legendary Eleven Pond. Known for her solo work as well as various collaborative projects, Beta Evers can be considered the godmother of German electro wave. Her beats are strict while her voice is cool and deep. Jeff Galea, who founded Eleven Pond in the mid-80s, is the master of energizing bass lines and emotional synth melodies. Deepest Chasms reflects their shared darkness in four melodic and atmospheric synthwave tracks that won't let go of you.

Nights are coming and going and faces appear and vanish, great plans are made and rarely held up to. While that is the mode that keeps the machine running, from time to time something greater can evolve out this fast paced spare time profession. That is to say, it is a great pleasure to smooth the way for our dear friend »Kleintierschaukel« and his »Blue Elephant«. A rare species whose origins are found in »Motomia« (A1), that odd place where sticky clocks tick faster than time passes. Still all confusion is lost in the calm whispering of Juliette (A2), a harmony of strange confidence. Despite all its apparent harmlessness, it needs the soothing voice of our all beloved Leonie to let its vast figure withdraw to the rivers and show the gentle nature of this »Unterwassermann« (B1). Back in his element all notches are smoothed out and movements unite in a rythmic flow. This is not a documentary, this is the Blue Elephant: »TV Ende« (B2).

Nur mit einer Handvoll Releases bewaffnet eroberte das 2010 gegründete LIFE AND DEATH Kollektiv die Clublandschaft, darunter so großartige Platten wie WhoMadeWho's 'Every Minute Alone' oder Pillow Talk's 'The Come Back EP'. Jetzt stellt KOMPAKT mit DJ TENNIS' THE OUTCAST eine neues Meisterwerk aus der italo-amerikanischen Soundschmiede
vor, ein melancholischer Floorschmeichler mit opulenten Vocals und psychedelischen Einflüssen. Es war nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis wir auf den Zug aufspringen: Life And Death ist schließlich wie Kompakt als ein Label mit Vorliebe zum Melodiösen und Besonderen bekannt, als Verfechter der Emotionen auf dem Tanzflur. DJ TENNIS' neues Meisterwerk passt da hervorragend ins Bild: Als eines der aufregendsten neuen Talente in der aktuellen Tanzmusik hat Manfredi Romano
aka DJ Tennis das Life And Death-Label mitbegründet und mit Daze auch noch eine der wichtigsten Event- und Bookingagenturen Italiens geschaffen. Nun tritt er mit dem Ausnahmetrack THE OUTCAST ins Rampenlicht, entstanden in
Kooperation mit den einzigartigen PILLOW TALK. Ein feinmaschiges Netz aus Spätsechziger Einflüssen, perfekt austariertem Pop-Geflüster und rohen, für die Primetime hochgerüsteten Beats wird hier serviert und unterstreicht einmal
mehr die nahezu unheimliche Fähigkeit von Tennis, eine lose Sammlung von Einflüssen und Ideen in einen großartigen Clubtrack zu verwandeln der mehr darstellt als nur die Summe seiner Teile.

On the 4th single from his highly acclaimed 4th LP 'After Forever", Kasper Bjørke puts his disco noir anthem 'Apart' into the safe hands of two luminary remixing talents. The original version of 'Apart' (which is to be found on the digital single release and the album) was selected as 'Tune of The Month' in MixMag in the September issue, stating: 'Its nothing short of genius... Kasper absolutely nailed it". And now, on the digital and limited edition 12 vinyl (with beautiful artwork by american artist John Copeland), you will find two epic remixes by Kompakt Records' head honcho Michael Mayer and renowned UK producer, Ewan Pearson (Jagwar Ma, The Rapture, etc.) Michael Mayer gives the tune's melancholy synth pop an epic feel, remaking it for the deepest and darkest of big room dancefloors, adding a discombobulating synth drone and ramping up the intensity levels. Ewan Pearson's remix adds a High NRG vibe to expose the yearning vocal before adding layers of arpeggios and synthesizers to an utterly irresistible, motorik pulse with some epic breakdowns. Both remixes skilfully navigate a line between the pop and dancefloor sensibilities of the original track, respecting the integrity of the bittersweet, emotional vocals of the Icelandic girlgroup Sísy Ey. After the release of the three singles 'Rush", 'Sylvia' and 'TNR", this package rounds off a quartet of singles, that confirms Bjørke's outstanding talent for sensitively combining influences of post disco and 80s synth pop in new and consistently invigorating ways. The album 'After Forever' is out now on hfn Music.

2LP Gatefold Album Portable Sunsets is one of the monikers of Peter Segerstrom: a producer based in Brooklyn, US. He previously released his full-length album 'Bless' on Atomnation, an LP as 'Surfing' on 1080p and another Portable Sunsets LP on Deadelus 'Magical Property' label. 'Order' is the follow up of these records and is a dreamy, somewhat lo-fi experimental techno LP. Combined with an ancient ambient undertone, 'Order' is not loosing its club ready vibe. This record floats somewhere between laid-back warehouse techno and the electronica genre - very much representing a unique style: Peter often uses his own voice in his productions, programmed through self-created synths in MAX/MSP. Vocals have become textures and are used as a synth, pad or soundscape. The combination of genres makes 'Order' a perfect record to dream away on at home, as well as to dance to in clubs.

Techno's brothers on the run, Octave One, take time off from global touring to deliver what promises to be one of the biggest dance anthems of 2016.The remixes of the irrepressible "Jazzo/Lose Myself" are creating such a stir that it is shaping up as the biggest release by Lenny and Lawrence Burden since their iconic ) "Blackwater".Like "Blackwater" it features vocals from Ann Saunderson , so history looks set to repeat itself.The track started off on the Octave One startlingly good album "Burn It Down" but is enjoying a new lease of life with separate reworks come from long time Octave One devotees Paul Woolford and Matt Playford, and they each deliver big time with "reaching for the lasers" dance floor winners. There is also an "Ocapella Mix" by Octave One for DJ's to have fun with and "Bad Love", a new recording available for the first time.The result is a 12" that will appeal to lovers of Paul and Matt's distinctive sound on labels like Planet E, Cocoon and Skint as well as devotees of all things 430 West.Paul's remix has had support from the likes of Sasha, Pete Tong and Annie Mac and as well as club plays has been getting plays on Radio 1.

These are two alternate versions of two of the more popular tracks from Pale Blue's LP, The Past We Leave Behind. The record was a slow burn, but eventually One Last Thing became the sleeper track. It has been on playlists from the likes of Seth Troxler, Pachanga Boys and John Talabot. It seems to have become one of the more popular closing tracks this year. With that in mind, Mike decided to turn it on its head and turn it in to an opening track... Distance To The Waves was tweaked into an acid floor filler. Simonetti uses multiple 303's chained to add melody at the most unexpected places. We also stuck the original versions on the vinyl as well for extra pleasure.

Dinky makes her evolution from inaugural DJ to singer songwriter and front stage performer with new album 'Dimension D' out in June on Visionquest. Single 'Falling Angel' is first to drop with remixes from two elite producers, Matthew Styles, who coproduced the album, and Pépé Bradock. Both heighten Dinky's layered ethereal vocals and mesmerising melodies with their own movement and elements of dark and light.
Her sister named Alejandra Del Pilar Iglesias Rivera Dinky at birth. Born and raised in Santiago, Chile, as a child she studied Ballet and the Suzuki method of piano before relocating to New York to become a contemporary dancer. Her drive to make music brought her to Berlin a decade ago where she quickly became a dominant force in dance music, making her mark through releases on Carpark, Cocoon, Ostgut, and the critically acclaimed 'Anemik' album in 2009 on Mathew Jonson´s Wagon Repair. Her fifth studio album, 'Dimension D' sees her evolve into singer-songwriter and performer and take on a new musical direction. Long term friends with the Visionquest collective from their hedonistic days residing in Berlin, Dinky's fresh approach fits within their ethereal and otherworldly style and follows the Footprintz album earlier this year.
Consistently on point DJ and musician Matthew Styles coproduced and mixed 'Dimension D' and will perform the album live in a series of dates this summer.

French DJ/Producer and prolific remixer Pépé Bradock has been an enigmatic figure on the scene since the early 90s always essential listening for anyone into deep house with a magic off kilter touch.

For its 6th release on Ed Banger records BUSY P asked his longtime friend from Los Angeles MAYER HAWTHORNE to write a love song. While the world is going crazy, the only answer is love. The song was recorded between Threesome Studio in Paris and Mayer's own in L.A. To complete this EP, we've asked UK's finest producers. The mysterious KDA who's topping UK's charts, delivers an infectious remix with mental drums and funky twist. Hot Chip's main man JOE GODDARD has been one of my favorite producer ever. It was about time to have him on board! RECKONWRONG dropped the hottest EP of 2015 on Young Turks sublabel Whities. His remix is pure magic. Exotic beats with techno flavours. Last but not least, we went experimental on this one! This is the first FLOW MACHINES remix. The goal of Flow Machines is to research and develop Artificial Intelligence systems able to generate music autonomously or in collaboration with human artists.

Turquoise Records debuts its first vinyl release staying true to both worlds of Deep House and House Music, Produced by Armando Mendes and featuring Larissa Kapp (Freerange, Suol, Raygun Records). Also it comes with an amazing Remix and Dub mix by techno legend Oliver Kapp (Indulge Records, Logistic Records, Stockholm LTD).
The original mix is very House/Balearic oriented with jacking house beat driving bassline and a very catchy vocal arrangement by Larissa. On the other side the dub mix is quite pumping as well with the vocal hook, and foggy cinematic lead keys...

Crecimiento's first release pairs two titans of the deep house scene. Michel Cleis (Cadenza/Pampa) delivers 'Hey Lady Luck', a driving and percussive garage production based around the 'Lady Luck' vocal from Jamie Woon. And on the remix, Freerange Records headhoncho, Jimpster, weighs in with a solid version, stripped back and hypnotising, he also provides an Instrumental for those who shy away from vocals. 'Hey Lady Luck' has its roots in the Ibiza season of a couple of years back, when Cadenza Records headhoncho Luciano began to play the original acapella over his sets, to rapturous reception. Since then, this fusion has resulted in a handle of unofficial versions, but it's been Michel Cleis who delivers to comprehensive house version of this cut, blending a new vocal delivery from Liam Bailey with a highly infectious, percussive garage vibe. Huxley (Hypercolour) - loving this, both mixes are ace, think I will play Jimpster's mixes the most though Fish Go Deep (Defected) - Nicely done, both Original and Jimpster remixes work for me, supporting! Simon Dunmore (Defected) - digging the Jimpster remixes Roger Sanchez (Release Yourself) - great record, playing on the radio show DJ Chus (Stereo) - Wow, what a bomb! Gorge (8Bit) - Cool remix and Original, will be supporting Halo (H-Foundation) - Love it, will play all mixes Alex Niggeman (Poker Flat) - Jimpster remixes for me Kevin Griffiths (Tsuba) - Jimpster Dub mix for me, thanks Julien Sandre (Morris Audio) - Great release from 2 amazing artists, I love the Original but it's the special Jimpster bomb remix for me Catz 'n' Dogz (Dirtybird) - Jimpster is the man! Waff (Hot Creations) - All nice tracks, but both Jimpster remixes for me Rocky (X-Press 2) - Jimpster remixes are great Moodymanc (2020 Vision) - two of the most origi

PORTIA MONIQUE really is something special. Travelling far and wide in pursuit of her musical dreams, the young, seriously talented singer-songwriter has built herself upon a dazzlingly unique voice with something very real to say. Her self-entitled debut album is a perfect summary of that. Produced by REEL PEOPLE, It is the next step of her amazing journey.


CLOUD IX & Grace both featured on the album and are included here as a double A-sider for this exclusive vinyl package.
Remixed here by the ever impressing Reel People and provides a heavenly soulful production, matched with Monique's love-fuelled vocals soaring us into the midnight sky.


Produced by REEL PEOPLE main man OLI LAZARUS and regular studio cohort TONI ECONOMIDES over a period of 18 months.


The album is well worth the wait and delivers Reel People's signature blend of organic, free-range soulful groove, whilst allowing Monique to fully express her considerable song-writing and vocal skills, it is an unforgettable, heartfelt outpouring of modern soul goodness. Deeply authentic yet highly accessible it is a record, put simply, not to be missed.
PORTIA MONIQUE has truly arrived.

There aren't many artists that can lay claim to having put out records on labels as divergent as Rough Trade and John Talabot's Hivern Discs. Perhaps this is because few artists express such genuine diversity in their musical tastes and creative explorations as David Kitt. Since the turn of the decade as New Jackson he has mined a seam of driving, ghostly house to run parallel with his solo strand of ambient folk electronica. His debut release in 2011 The Night Mail on Pogo channeled early record collection heroes Aphex Twin and Orbital through to Drexciya and Projekt PM but had one foot firmly in the 21st century beaming in like some futuristic cyberballad. On the flip side Hussle Free had that mix of house and boogie sensibilities with dark and dusty synths and vocoder that would become a signature. This was followed by acclaimed releases on Hivern, Permanent Vacation, Major Problems, Apartment and most recently Cin Cin. His debut album set for release on All City in May was recorded in Kitt's bedroom studio overlooking Dublin bay, its nocturnal hues very much a product of the nightshift often working on headphones with the rest of his housemates fast asleep. It takes full advantage of the scope of the LP format, ebbing and flowing between deep house club ready gems and more restrained and meditative beatless moments for the morning after. The recording process yielded many eureka moments with Kitt finally nailing sounds that had hitherto proved elusive.

In a whirlwind of sex, independence, honesty and darkness, rising star Bebe Black is set to release 'The Deathwish EP' on Jan 21st.
Citing Courtney Love, old-school Madonna, Siouxsie Sioux and Kate Bush as her influences, the singer-songwriter from Dorset, a former fashion student who looks as if she's just stepped off the set of This Is England, writes about love and pain on the release with the candour of someone who's seen it too many times before.
Bebe said: 'Each track on the EP is about grief and anguish, sex and love. They were written as a confession and a release, which I found cathartic. I wanted the tracks to be rhythmic and sexual sounding, but when you scratch beneath the surface you find something honest and raw.'
Remixes by up and coming Ejeca (Needwant / Wolf Music) & Subb-An (One Records).

Futureboogie brother Christophe and the eternally cool Danielle Moore get it together for the next release on the imprint and deliver a surefire summer sensation. 'Comeback' has anthem written all over it sunshine boogie disco bounce and deep melodic keys alongside Danielle's sultry voice it's a closing track for friends and lovers. On the remix front, hot London talent Casino Times strip back the vocal in a dancefloor builder while Christophe & Lukas stir it up with an old school bassline and anthemic synth stabs.

In the lead-up to the release of 'Motion Sickness' on December 3rd, Domino will put out a three-part 12' vinyl series with each record featuring two highlights from the remix compilation. These releases will be staggered throughout November in December, the first of which is to be released on November 19th. Full details can be found below.
Bringing together some of the most respected names in dance music with the key players in the Domino roster; the compilation celebrates dance and electronic music. In this series these incredible interpretations will only be available in the format classically associated with the genre: vinyl.
The tracks featuring in the series include the Grammy Award-nominated Carl Craig remix of Junior Boys' 'Like a Child', Mike Simonetti's re-working of Blood Orange's 'Champagne Coast', the fluid funk of DFA's remix of Clinic's 'Tomorrow' and Joy Orbison's beautifully twisted and intricate take on 'Love Cry' by Four Tet.

Local Action's first single of 2013 comes from DJ Q. It's Q's second release on the label, following the vinyl-only, instantly sold-out 'Brandy & Coke', and marks the first taste of his forthcoming debut album.

Q's been a legend to those in the know for almost a decade: his past single 'U Wot' was one of the biggest tracks to ever come out of the UK's bassline house / Niche explosion, and his BBC Radio 1xtra show was a must-listen for UK dance music fans. His recent productions (on Local Action, Unknown to the Unknown, Butterz and more) showcase a producer at the top of his game, able to turn his hands to grime, garage, pop and more, and 'Trust Again', a collaboration with Brit School alumnus Louise Williams is vocal 2-step made to perfection.

'Trust Again' features the first vinyl remix in several years by Karl 'Tuff Enuff' Brown, one half of the legendary UK garage unit Tuff Jam - check Oneman's Fabric CD or Ben UFO's all-vinyl session for RBMA to see how their influence is still felt today. Remixes also come from DJ Q (4x4 remix) and a shredding take by bassline house heavyweight TS7.

This AA side 12" single brings together two seemingly distant, yet somehow closely related zones of psychedelia. One side brings the original version of Magic Carpet Ride by Kontiki Suite, a dense and hypnotic epic culminating in a wall of guitar and harmony; just the way we like it. Far out.
On the flip, The Time and Space Machine, aka Richard Norris, fresh from remixes of DJ Harvey, Tame Impala and Bryan Ferry, stretches the original out into a cosmic psych jam from outer space. Guaranteed to get the hipsters swinging!

Lost Paradise delivers a modern execution our post-disco dance music culture, maintaining references to the past and looking for the oasis on the horizon. Lost Paradise's first release is a trans-continental collaboration between Sleazy McQueen and Stu Robinson. I Tried receives remix treatment from heavy hitters Pete Herbert and Yam Who and introduces Space Coast.

The electronic based pop group, Shari Vari, founded by Helena Ratka and Sophia Kennedy, is about to release its first EP, Life Should Be a Holiday, of 5 pieces produced and recorded by the duo under broke and alcoholic circumstances. Each piece deals with the traditional forms of song writing by ignoring them - the rules and structures. Combining psychedelic lyrics and chords with dark electronic sounds, the beats are weird and stubborn: a teenage crush on a white cat while drowning in a pool. You'll never want to go to work again: too many psychos in one streetcar are just too hard to handle on an empty stomach. Look forward to plunge into the world of Shari Vari, so hit the booze and run! (to the concert)

Channeling the energy echoing off dancefloors along his path, Reinier Zonneveld has been on a steady slope rolling out dance igniting productions while touring an intricate live set. Megacity Servant, the artist's third studio effort, stands as a coherent 16-piece techno outfit tinged with experimental tones while playfully deconstructing classic acid and disco fragments. Coming from a classical music background, Reinier's style of production ranges from cavernous powertracks to more concise trips subdued with melancholic piano-stemmed soundscapes, rounding up to a signature sound that is evident as it is enveloping.

Techno mainstay vocalist Cari Golden makes a notable appearance on Things We Might Have Said. Having previously teamed up with sonorous names like Pan Pot, Fur Coat & Coyu, Golden's stellar vocals and skillful lyrics shine paired with Zonneveld's production prowess. The production-vox chemistry is instant, as the track mesmerizes from the get go. Seizing attention for the full length of the track, the entire arrangement seduces the listener, making for a clamorous earworm. EHT unveils a heavy-hitting resolution, as the artist layers on hefty polarizing synths. The cut boasts a powerful arrangement that is unsettling and playful at the same time, diving into dark techno realms. Megacity Servant makes use of the classic Roland SH-101's ability to emit a nearly tridimensional sound ray, unfolding newer details with each listen. The relentless melody, padded with grave synth arrays, establishes a melancholic mood, gradually depicting the auditive struggle of its title-named character.

Last year's 'Romantic Thrills' album was testament to Niconé & Sascha Bramer's impressive knack for delicate melodies and soothing vocals, seamlessly woven into powerful house music thanks to the warm pulse of the kick drum. Here, on their new EP 'United Colors of Language', the duo delivers three stunning tracks to rival their previous output in both, romanticism and danceability. On the A1, the vocalist Narra once again lends her fabulous voice to an arrangement of harmonious guitar loops and euphoric build-ups. Much like 'Caje' before it, 'Rej Senhor' sets itself apart as an all-round secret weapon that will work in the club or at an open air, during peak-time and after-hour alike. A little more forward, 'Cold World' loops a fluidly rolling piano towards a break in which Niconé's own vocals bedazzle. Finally, the pair draws us into an Algerian lullaby in the form of 'Raoui', which combines the empathy and melancholy of ethnic folk music with a hands-in-the-air groove. With this standout EP Niconé & Sascha Bramer achieve what they set out to do - they prove that music is the most powerful language of all!

OFF 113 debuts french duo "Melokolektiv" and Darlyn Vlys to the label.

Melokolectiv (Crosstown Rebels, Get Physical), a duo already known for their deep and harmonious beats and Darlyn Vlys (Get Physical, Upon You), head of Sincopat and one of the most prolific tech house luminaries around got together to create a
profound deep-tech groove with an indie influence preparing the mood for Forrest adding a catchy vocal, and turning this one into an anthem with a very soul tangling appeal.

For the remix we had the pleasure of winning Berlin's Kiki, who kept the vibe intact adding melodic leads that take the scene complementing a bouncy bassline and using the vocal in a very minimal tasteful way.

The package is completed with a dub version of the original, suited to the darker moments and sets.

Following its initial release in 2013 and its round of high-profile advert placements, FCL 'It's You' is proving to be one of those tracks that just keep coming back better. Featuring remixes by the likes of Mousse T., Hercules & Love Affair and Nick Holder, this Defected remix package is sure to send 'It's You' down the road to becoming a classic.

With a wall-scratching kick and rattling shakers, first on the list is Mousse T.'s Teef Vocal Mix, which moves with its minimal bass line and striking piano melody. Next up, Mousse T.'s Discotronic Mix drops the disco ball by introducing a groovy bass guitar riff and uplifting synth stabs. Nick Holder's Trackheadz Mix sets the irrepressible vocal over a rolling, sub-heavy house groove, with eerie chords and orchestral strings exquisitely playing off one another as the track progresses. Finally, Hercules & Love Affair Remix creates an intricate rhythm medley using pitched high hats and vanishing synth breaks against a futuristic guitar lick and cosmic arpeggios. With such a diverse and well-crafted selection of remixes, each track preserves the irresistible draw of the original while steering into its own unique sonic direction.

MONTY LUKE's BLACK CATALOQUE label returns with a great 3 track EP from San Francisco producer/DJ DAVE AJU (CIRCUS
COMPANY). Underground dance tracks with soul.

Since Fabrikate first emerged with a remix of The Weeknd's Often in 2014, the duo has showcased a variety of influences on productions ranging from traditional Deep House to sounds reminiscent of the L.A. Bass House scene. Despite rising success, Fabrikate retain their anonymity, hidden behind minimalist masks when on stage or behind the camera. In contrast to the vibrant aesthetic that permeates their overall image, the duo remains stoic and silent, taking a shadowy step into the background so their music can truly take centre stage.
