Cosmic Machine compiles 20 rare tracks put together with passion and erudition by Uncle O (who previously did the Shaolin Soul compilations) and throws together a collection of stars, a few free-spirits, and also shooting stars. This group of people don.t form a scene per say, they.re more like a collection of individuals who, through sheer ingenuity and with all their singularity, managed to break down the barriers between pop and experimental to give birth to a mutant variety of electronic music that owes as much to mobile discos as sound illustration, to the GRM, to the Bogdanoff brothers, to Métal Hurlant and the European Space Program. Cosmic Machine is a panoramic dive into this epic era when the synthesizer was man.s best friend and when the future had a future: our present time. Daft Punk, Air, Justice, Zombie Zombie. Or Add N To (X), Stereolab, Broadcast in the rest of the world. weren.t born in incubators

In the second volume of output YESTERDAY '00 : a selection of 24 out successes in the past decade , hit ranging from the year 2000 to 2010 tracing the recent history of dance : from Bacon Popper Erika and again from the Eiffel Estrella 65. A double CD collection !
.

Getwet comes back with the second release, after a very well received first 12" who got played in some of the most forward thinking dancefloors in EU, Japan and USA.

The opener is a majestic track from The Caribbean House, side project of Billy Bogus teamed up with Federico Bologna, from seminal Technogod and Ohmega Tribe project, and Cristiano Santini, from legendary italian act Disciplinatha. What came out is an outstanding blend of new wave & slow motion disco, strictly for midnight vultures.

Fake Congas is a spin off project by Robotalco (Sebastiano Urciuoli) and Mouth (Luca Fontaneto), bringing all their childhood memories to life again with some analog machines and an internet connection. Lots of references to old house, soft pads breezy synths and a very distinctive touch from two of the most underrated names in the italian panorama for what might be the new sound in a stale scene. Jot their name down now before it is too late.

Two Thousand is the stage name of italian born-berlin based artist Luca Murgia, already known to some for some dope releases and tracks in the past. Here he shows a very interesting concept that gels perfectly with the music, for what we might call a very sophisticated rendition of the new house music of the years to come. Modern crispy production skills serve a very growing and mid paced music that can be equally satisfying in a club or in your headphones.

Mouth is Luca Fontaneto, very reserved producer with some releases on cult labels like Mad On The Moon and Backyard Recs. He keeps doing what he always did. Weird, Out of tune with the industry House music that is going to be understood posthumous, as all geniuses.

This track is a mix of his major influences that is to say, house, boogie and d.i.y. recording techniques.

As the saying goes, we didn't change the winning team, and all songs have been sent up north in Amsterdam for a make up mastering session at Nachtlab by Professor Maspaventi.

The COUGH & DROP EP is a various artists reworks EP with a Ronnie Turner and Edgar moon collab on the ace Robertas Slack single and then Ronnie digs out two killer cuts, the first being Chucks Back reworking Chuck Brown and the soul searchers Borrero e sombero and the second is the very rare Ashphalt jungle track Freaky Time which has been tweaked up a bit strictly for groovers.

We are sure this EP will be doing some serious dance floor damage in the months to come...

Vinyl Only Release...

Welcome to the debut voyage on GoodShip records !

Online sensation and secret weapon in the hands of a select few, this debut from MermaidS is a dancefloor sureshot that's seeing the light of day at long last

Surfacing at the end of 2011 into a pool of crystal clarity, MermaidS combine elements of the past and future to create a present that is at once sky high, another ocean deep.

Releasing on Young Adults, Glasgow Underground, Foto, Editorial, Non Local, FlipSide and Philanthrobeats, and with an upcoming EP for Amsterdam's Subjekt as well as a remix on Sweden's OH! Records, their sound has found it's way across the world.

Now, in 2015, the timing is right to launch GoodShip Records.
An outlet to explore the sounds that inspire, to update and transform, to express truly where they're at and what course they wish to set sail...
And with Jackmaster previewing the lead track on his recent Mastermix to much acclaim, it would seem the wind is blowing in the right direction !

Great double A-sided reissue from tiny Brooklyn label Starburst. Features the superb and impossible-to-find 'Three Way Situation' by Nadie La Fonde, a cool and dreamy Trinidadian disco cut which hit big in Chicago as well as in New York's cooler clubs back in '79. Backed with the equally in-demand tropical monster 'Soca Fusion' by Bobby Raveen. Jam-packed with horns, seriously funky bass and driving percussion, this is pure dancefloor dynamite. Don't miss!

Pablo and Shoey return just in time for festival season with 4 new bits for the front of your box.
'E-Man Groove' is a massive disco-rock jam that could have been sprung from the minds of dem Idjut Boys, with Sympathy For The Devil style percussion and wild guitar riffing driving the whole thing.
'Blazing Sunshine', meanwhile, is a funky, hammond organ led version of 'Let The Sunshine In', a guaranteed hands in the air moment when dropped at the right time.

'Disco Treat' is more of a modern floor-burner, closer to straight production edit with a bouncing bassline and all manner of whacked out disco sounds in the mix, not to mention breakdowns for days.
Rounding off the package is some classic funky soul breaks - the lads tear a chunk off Bettye Lavette's 'Soul Tambourine' to make 'Play It, Break It On Down!', as sampled on Stezo's golden era hip hop rocker 'To The Max'.

2 quality re-edits from Fingerman, A1 track 'Never Survive (Fingerman Edit)' re-works Seal 'Crazy', B side re-edits 'What A Fool Believes' by The Doobie Brothers

Introverted Dancefloor ist das Projekt von Bevan Smith, einem umtriebigen Neuseeländer, der in den
vergangenen zehn Jahren auch schon unter Namen wie Signer und Aspen Musik gemacht hat und in Bands
wie den Ruby Suns und Skallander spielte. Für die 14 Dancetracks, die er als Introverted Dancefloor abliefert,
hat Smith sich auf zwei Synthesizer und ein wenig Zubehör beschränkt - mit einem äußerst facettenreichen
Ergebnis, denn es ist alles da: Elektro und Ambient, Detroit-Techno, Pop-House und Leftfield-Disco. Das
Album (ent)hält, was der Titel verspricht - zurückhaltende, sophisticated Tanzmusik. Vinylversion inklusive

Michael is the amazing debut full length from Les Sins, the dance project of Toro Y Moi's Chaz Bundick.

WATCH AND LISTEN: http://youtu.be/Y5GMZob3IHs

Previously released singles on Dan Snaith's Jiaolong label and Carpark Records..

Inspired by cartoon and movie soundtracks, the largely instrumental album explores classic dance and pop music traditions. Catchy, repetitive vocal hooks gel with beats and synth work influenced by house, techno, French electronic, and '90s hip-hop production.

Bundick made the album over two years and recorded everything in his home studio.The funky 'Why' features vocals from Berkeley, Calif. singer-songwriter Nate Salman asking 'Why you wanna go and do that' 'Bother' holds down a head-bobbing, body-moving groove until a stunning hallelujah moment straight out of a sci-fi version of Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. While there are no concrete themes associated with the album, Chaz says he can imagine all of these songs playing in the middle of the brilliantly lighted and busy Ginza district in Tokyo.Touchstones like Timbaland, Mr. Oizo, and Daft Punk, and contemporaries such as Motor City Drum Ensemble offered inspiration, but most influential on the making of the album was the sage advice of a design icon. 'My favorite graphic designer, P. Rand always said, 'Don't try to be original, just try to be good,'' Bundick says. 'When making this record that was/is my mantra—it was just constantly looping in my mind. I believe 'good' is timeless and once you can recognize that you'll see the world in its fullest.'Michael follows a 12' on Carpark Records and two singles for Jiaolong. The LP is the first release on Company Records, a new label partnership between Chaz and Carpark.

Norman Jay MBE presents his latest compilation, titled 'Good Times Skank & Boogie', set for release 9th October 2015 on Sunday Best Recordings. This is his first compilation since 2011's Good Times 30th Anniversary Addition and follows on from his hotly anticipated Good Times Goes East party at St John Church at Hackney on 29th August.
Norman Jay is undoubtedly one of the finest and highly respected DJs in the world today and yet again pulls from his impressive collection to provide the ultimate eclectic selection.
For this 12th compilation, for those of you counting, Norman kicks off with St Germain's version of Henry Mancini's Pink Panther Theme. A cult favourite from 2004s Pink Panther Penthouse Party album, it of course immediately brings Peter Sellers to mind and a smile to your face. Next up former Uniques front man Slim Smith's Everybody Needs Love is a classic from 1968, cut at the legendary Duke Reid's Treasure Isle studio. Penned originally by Motown heroes Norman Whitfield and Eddie Holland and covered by household names including The Temptations and Glady's Knight & The Pips, Slim's version became something of a signature tune until his mysterious death in 1971. Sticking with Motown, Stevie Wonder's Living For The City is up next but it's the Michael McDonald rendition from his 2008 album Soul Speak, which proves the man who gave us the sublime Sweet Freedom had lost none of his class 20 plus years on.
D-Influence's Good Lover takes things up and brings them closer to home, to the streets of London infact. After a couple of independent releases the band, who had strong connections to the London Jazz and Soul scenes, served up this contemporary boogie tune as part of their 1992 debut long player for East West. They would subsequently score hits as a production team for a number of British R&B acts. Homegrown soul continues with Paul Johnson's Better Than This, released here via longstanding UK soul imprint Expansion to deserved acclaim last year. It's quality and appeal are simply timeless, whilst master Dego and Kaidi's mix adds a classic 80s soul dimension to proceedings.
The Chi-Lites I Keep Comin' Back To You and The Real Thing's Love Takes Tears continue and expand the 80s theme, bringing in 2-step and boogie, as does Deodato's Never Knew Love from the same period.
We switch again with Delroy Wilson's Better Must Come, a massively popular sufferers lament from 1971 by this former Jamaican child star, it would go on to be used in election campaigns by various Jamaican political parties. Kent People by Laurel Aitken & The Gruvy Beat is the next one out the box and was the flip to the 1969 anthem Skinhead Train. It features the UK's top reggae band of the era The Rudies, who along with Aitken, the widely-proclaimed Godfather of Ska, comprised of Earl Dunn (lead guitar), Trevor White (bass), Sonny Binns (keyboards) and Danny Smith (drums). They would go on to enjoy UK chart success backing singer Freddie Notes before they evolved into Greyhound. From the same year Splash Down by The Crystalites is another slate that ignited dance floors in both Jamaica and the UK upon release. Some of you will have noticed the rhythm track is the same as that of the earlier Kingstonians' best-seller, Sufferer, which came courtesy of legendary producer Derrick Harriott.
As the end draws close The Stone City Band featuring Rick James serve up some hard edged boogie, hotly followed by a classic Tom Moulton slice of late 70s disco courtesy of The Fantastic Four and their I Got To Have Your Love. If that doesn't have you dancing then Chanson's superb Don't Hold Back featuring James Jamerson Jr. on bass will leave you no choice. Classic Good Times indeed.

Some facts about Duncan Gray... He's a multi-instrumentalist tune smith... He has a label called Tici Taci... He was, along with our kid, one half of the criminally under-rated machine funk duo 'The Sons Of Slough' who produced an album of elastic electro ("Milk, Milk, Lemonade") and invented electro-bingo ("Two Fat Ladies... Aux 88"). He's recorded a cover version of Robert Calvert's (ex-Hawkwind) "Lord Of The Hornets"... He's played space guitar on a number of my remixes (we like to call his sound 'pink wray'). He's given me 4 tracks of low-slung sleazey loveliness to release on Bird Scarer..."

Andrew Weatherall : March 2015

Young, beautiful and talented... that's the attitude that Strip Steve's debut album MICRO MEGA is made of. Digging in the spirit of the glam and pop scene of the 80s the French DJ and Producer (livin' in Berlin now) put together a potpourri of high-class House, Nu-Disco, Techno and Dubstep tracks. Strip Steve knows how to create a sticking summer rave soundtrack like STOMP, which was formerly released as a first impact of his upcoming album. Even though he takes us on a trip back to the 80s shiny sides (RADIOCHECK) and darker sides (CALCIUM feat. Das Glow) we know from past releases. He does not hide his musical roots and background when living up to his origin with MONEY TROUBLE FUNK. Proving his talent in different styles and sounds he collaborated with the lucid and wild eyed dream-pop duo Puro Instinct (from L.A.), young protégées of living legend Ariel Pink, creating a flirty and emotional track - ASTRAL PROJECTION which will be the 1st official single-release taken from MICRO MEGA. The track goes more to the root and encapsulates musical influences from The Beach Boys, Chic, and modern disco like Amplified Orchestra, highlighting the fact how versatile and multi-faceted Strip Steve's musical approaching can be. It's the flirtyness with fragile lucency and the infantile embracement of the simple and still undiscovered pop-formula which leaves the song Grow and Breathe on its own. This cocktail is best served by the beauty of your own imagination. As a hypnotic dance-floor track should not be missing, Strip Steve teamed up with the legendary Robert Owens to feature him on ONE THING and this track is definitely a one 'BIG' thing. His voice of heaven together with Strip Steve's strong soundlines builds a mega attitude that leaves no feet still. This is hell of a debut album... from MICRO to MEGA !!! MICRO MEGA OUT ON BOYSNOIZE RECORDS | JULY, 2nd 2012

The Brand New Heavies meets Ilija Rudman / Ilija Rudman meets The Brand New Heavies . IMOGEN Recordings are here to represent the finest in a major disco & house scene worldwide. Past and future .

Especial is proud to announce a special release with 2 official remixes of the seminal afro-cosmic classic. With a nod to both the future and past, remixes come from NYC's drum-loop champ, Justin Van Der Volgen and is backed perfectly with Dusseldorf's mysterious tribal exponents, The Durian Brothers. When given the original masters by founder member Stefan Krachten, the conundrum was how to handle music that is a timeless classic. Most associated with the afro-cosmic scene, Masimbabele has actually been staple of DJs across the globe, so the remixes should look forward not not just back. Added to this, the recent sad passing of both Stefan and vocalist Reebop Kwaku Baah and the project has added poignancy. Therefore, the two artists asked to do 2015 remix updates were personal favourites of the label and also, capable of doing justice some 30 years after it was recorded. As a DJ, producer and remixer wunderkind, Justin Van Der Volgen's releases on the likes of Golf Channel, ESP Institute and TBD, plus killer remixes of !!!, Soft Rocks and most recently his doubleheader Todd Terje reworks, meant it was a must to have him involved on this project. Harking the original in many ways, his remix is a perfect homage. A crucial key change, plus subtle loops and arrangment make the right moves, allowing the instruments to build and build to the infamous horns and scat vocals interplay and on to crescendo. As a double A side, bringing The Durian Brothers in was the perfect foil. An art-music project, the band has released a series of EPs on their own Diskant label to cult appreciation. A big influence on how parent label Emotional Response was formed, the secretive trio have been drawn out to work with on their only ever remix, for a song that is an influential and important song in their own make up. To this end the band wanted to create a version that sees them jamming live with the original musicians, including a young Dominik Von Senger on guitar. Eschewing the vocals, the remix merges the Brothers poly-rhythmic percussion with the African influenced swing, guitar chops and horn stabs of the original. A perfect jam between the bands, but some 3 decades apart. Hope you enjoy.

150 copies only!!
We've reached the end. This is as far as the story tells the final recording by the artist(s) that kickstarted the Omena LTD series with the mini-album '1' early 2015.
Back in 1992, after extensive recording sessions, several releases albums that never pleased the major label and touring that led the members to become less friends and more enemies an unanimous decision led the members to put everything on hold.The final track ever recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio was 'Paus' or as the late South African-born American recording engineer Phil Ramone described it - their masterpiece.
Listening back to the session it's evident the band was heading in a new direction, heavily inspired by Daniel Lanois and Sonia Pottinger. The use of horns, the synth bass and the way the drummer ties everything together is exceptional.
Due to the success with the two previous releases on OMLTD, the band decided to give the recording to Tooli but not only that, they also re-recorded some parts late 2014 (hence the name 141201). What you have here is something truly special and may or may not be the comeback everyone is waiting for.

With Record Store Day upon us once again, Quantize Recordings felt it only right to unleash a killer EP to the World boasting exclusive edits from 2 of the biggest names of the scene - Danny Krivit & John Morales.

Danny's edit of 'Is It Love' is taken from the recent Quantize Quintessential CD release (also mixed & compiled by Danny Krivit), as you'd expect it's lovingly crafted and receiving some serious rotation from the industry A listers.

On the flip the monumental DJ Spen & Gary Hudgins's remix of Melissa B 'Be Free' finally (and due to much demand) gets an exclusive vinyl airing, whilst John Morales delivers a stunning disco reworked remix of Sheila Ford's 'The Best of My Love'. Limited edition pressing on Royal Blue vinyl!

New artist Daniel Wainwright brings his psychedelic vibrations to Is It Balearic ... Doing It is a slow motion sleazy trip into the acid house. Swirling vocals and psyched out guitars melt into chuggy acid beats and effects. Coyote up the tempo a touch and strip back the whole track on their remix. Dubby vocal samples and muted guitar groove along to an acidic finale. The second remix is a real thing of beauty from Mushrooms Project. Keeping the same slow tempo and adding space and texture with mellow guitars and extra sitar. A subtlely developing tribal workout. Groovy man.

6 years after his critically acclaimed debut LP ("PLAYING WITH SCRATCHES") RUCKUS ROBOTICUS returns with his 2nd full length. Electronic, funk, disco and hip hop beats are combined with his signature left-field, feel good, quirky pop on this EDM-opera that tells the tale of the "PHANTOM OF THE DISCO". Double LP, pic sleeve.
