Bar Musica's fourth EP is a fascinating one from Jesse Marcell with a remix by Pier Bucci. El Calvario De Los Indecisos opens up with intense minimal sounds, relentless drum and bass loops tying your mind in knots. All manner of dark and grubby sounds and effects scuttle across the groove and make this a late night head wrecker.

Pier Bucci then steps up to smooth things out and layer in some more soft and soulful late night chords. It flip the cut into a more dreamy number for trance inducing late night sets.

Last of all, Marcell offers La Fe' with it's high tempo drums, pressurised kicks and sweeping sense of minimal tech funk really getting you deep in the groove. This is a superb offering from this vital label.

Pairing Novelist’s unmistakable cadence and flow with classic grime square-waves and booty house-esque drums, ‘Sliver’ has been a highlight of both Special Request and label boss Peggy Gou’s recent sets, climaxing in a tempo change designed to turn the dancefloor inside out. As potent in intimate dark rooms as it is festival main stages, you’ll be hearing this one all Summer and beyond.

„at a certain point, it all started to move by it self“


Like the main-claim of the label, all music was created with hardware gear. Especially the modular-synths helped to create the organic, subtle, sometimes complex and intricate kind of deep, groovy, minimal music, that is located somewhere between house & techno.
Anything to bend your mind between thursday to monday.

The second release on ‚MindBEND‘ features some core artists of the label.

Toronto based Emissive brings his inimitable sound to Aronia Records with a new four track EP. Unseen Measures is a collection of music distinct in tempo and timbre but unified by an emotive quality that is characteristic of Emissive’s productions.

Grannr carries the vibe with a distorted and compressed drum pattern, flowering into a cathartic chord progression.The mood swells with Uplink’s shimmering synths and twinkling melodies bursting with peak time energy.

The fourth EP from HOMO-CENTRIC Records presents GIDEÖN's broad musical vision, with tracks that span genres such as house and techno, as well as other influences, and includes his latest offering, “A Road Called Destiny”, his headiest offering yet and hot on the heels of previous anthem “Brighter Day”. This latest gospel belter has been tearing up dancefloors all summer and the track reaches euphoric heights comparable with the Baptist sermons featured in the house classics from the likes of Kerry Chandler and Robert Hood. "Hector’s Revenge" is a dark sleazy queer techno anthem already slaying Berghain’s main floor, "Vasquez Goes East" is a "raw basement cut that tips its hat to Junior Vasquez’s Sound Factory classic "Get Your Hands Off My Man” whilst “Fridays” serves up classic Swing 52 style chopped-up vocal cuts straight from vintage 90s NYC. Scope, range and diversity, but all quintessentially GIDEÖN

Memento’s label honcho Idriss D is back at the production duties with
a mesmerising super single featuring a shattering remix by the
Norwegian infamous wonder known as Dj Sotofett.
“Lunatic” symbolises Idriss D natural inclination for an incessant
sonic exploration, which on this esoteric cur, has brought him to the
darkest and the most hectic jungle territories; drawing from the early
nineties British tradition but with a long sight into the contemporary
climate, these heavy rattling beats and scattered vocals will simply
leave you speechless.
On the flip side , Dj Sotofett is just condensed cutting edge music
technology wisdom; the straight deep beat and the charming arpeggios transform the original mayhem into a late night anthem.
The splendid picture on the release cover has been taken by Ismail
Zaidy of L4artiste, which is also responsible for the astonishing
video teaser, while the artwork has been as usual an graphic affair of Boogie.

Reflexion EP is a very complete release, showcasing Stereociti's amazing composition skills. Eu Lembro' is a super irresistible intergalactic house journey and Wee hours', a dubby excursion that never ceases to grow til the groove comes in. Title track Reflexions' is a very elegant and hypnotic house cut that will make you dream about the perfect party. And to close in a perfect mood, Canc¸o es do vento sul' - a more broken tune - loops the journey into pure happiness and joy. A great record to listen or dance to.

At only 19 years old, French producer THEOS says that last year he decided to dedicate his life to music. Now he has scored his first vinyl EP, continuing Shall Not Fade's new Killer Cuts series that focuses on no-filler dancefloor oriented house music. There's more than a touch of French to the funky groove of We Miss The Crowd, featuring collabs from Denyl Brook, Cosmonection and Romeo Louisa.

Opening out the record, "Lie Machine" is a delicious warm-up for what is to come. The unstoppable bassline and disco guitar samples get your hips moving while vocal snatches get into your head and won't get out. The title track's sultry groove is similarly catchy, with the pulsing kick and deep bass melody evoking a nod to the deep tech sound of UK house music but panning synths adding that filter house edge, sweeping the listener on to "Keep Creating Your World". The hard pulse of this track is balanced with sweeping pads, ethereal and summery. Organic jazzy piano loops take centre stage in the sublime production.

Onto the B-side and three stellar collaborations with some more of the best France has to offer; "Jazzy Cruise" with Denyl Brook is skippy, upbeat day party gear, with classic noughties filter sounds that tease the ears. THEOS and Cosmonection work together on "Unusual Ego"; sweet fuzzy chords but an Ed Banger style melody keep the record pumping for the closer, "Spread Positivity" with Romeo Louisa. Cool and dance floor ready, the climax of the EP is full of nothing but good vibes.

Don't miss out on the digital bonus track from THEOS either; "Livin' & Lovin" is a pumping deep house tool guaranteed to get hands in the air.

Vienna-based producer and 303 maestro Tin Man returns to Acid Test for his first solo EP for the label in over 5 years. It's another impeccable outing of romantic acid variations, especially tailored for unforgettable dancefloor revelations.

Tin Man has been setting the pace for forward-looking acid lovers for close to two decades now, and on his 15th Acid Test appearance he takes the vibe back to early and proto-house roots, stripping back the musical elements while layering in the euphoria with four perfectly crafted slices of feelgood 303.

Opening track Hidden Acid already sounds like a long lost classic, with strings draped over bouncy acid and motorik drums, stretching out over nearly nine minutes, and beautifully capturing the feel of house music circa 1991. Swaying Acid comes in all propulsive, toms and congas setting the foundation for melodic acid lines to weave through your heart strings.

On the B Side, Running Acid is fully optimized for the autobahn fast lane - a gradual, slow-filtered acid meltdown that builds and releases in tandem with driving hats and vaporous pads that hang over the track like early morning mists. Wrapped Up Acid brings the EP to a fitting close, slowing the tempo for a low-key easy dance excursion par excellence - smooth yet spikey 303 riffs punctuate the chords that drift through with a hint of Badalamenti in the progression.

With the Hidden Acid EP Tin Man might hark back to more vintage times, but the emotive power is as strong as ever. The naivety of the ‘90s is instead replaced with a conviction behind the musical choices that brings even more weight to the heartwarming vibes. This is acid in some of the best shape it's ever been, enhanced and upgraded specifically for the dance.

Three of the hottest underground artists of the moment are in charge of a brand new Bread & Butter instalment, here in its sixth edition. Sunwaves' heroes Cosmjn, Giuliano Lomonte, and NuZau share this wax for a tasty EP fragrant like bread and smooth like butter.



Opening the dances, Romanian artist Cosmjn kicks things off nice and deep with a tight minimal roller called "Platzpark". An essential groove and a subtle low-end slowly let appear futuristic bells that will resonate throughout the whole piece into an unending vortex.



On the flip Berlin-based but Italian-born Giuliano Lomonte comes with one of his trademark jams where analogue, full-bodied drums meet spacey echoing stabs and gentle female vocal chops for a warm and cosy after-hours anthem.



Last but not least, Sunrise affiliate NuZau delivers a sharp and bouncy tune called "Last One". Even here, as the track progresses, a dried-out groove sees the rise of dreamy pads and flourishing synths for a proper "Last One" jam.

Thank you for the trust, creative contribution and support of each member of our 2nd and very significant vinyl for the beginning of his musical career Experience records: Vincent Casanova, Vern, Cusack , Pavel Stanovskiy.

The latest offering from Darius Syrossian’s Moxy Muzik label is a four tracker of house, deep and minimal goodness.

First up it's Luuk Van Dijk’s original mix of ‘Lose Control’, a rolling house track that does all the right things, in all the right places. 'Lose Control' is then remixed by label head Darius Syrossian for a vinyl only offering, taking things a little deeper and more hypnotic with lush pads, crisp synth stabs and a deep rumbling bassline.

Flip it over to find ‘Got Sum’. The original is a jackin minimal crossover which has an infectious groove. Last but not least, Germany’s Nick Beringer provides a darker, more minimal remix to close it out.

For almost a decade, Spain's Ramiro Lopez has established himself as one his country's leading proponents of techno, with strong releases across labels that include Suara, Intec, Octopus Recordings and Bedrock.

Es war eine unglaubliche Reise: 5 Singles mit Musikvideos, das "Nobody Is Not Loved"-Album, ein eigenes Festival in Amsterdam mit über 17.000 Besuchern, 7 Remix-EPs mit 16 verschiedenen Remixen und mehrere Essential New Tunes-Auszeichnungen.

Und mit der Veröffentlichung der kompletten Remix Collection neigt sich die NINL-Reise dem Ende zu. Was mit der Veröffentlichung der ersten Albumsingle "Home" im Oktober 2020 begann, gipfelt nun, mehr als zwei Jahre später, in einer 4 LP Vinyl Box mit 16 Remixen von Solomuns "Nobody Is Not Loved" Album.

Die Tracks des Albums, die ursprünglich ein sehr breites Genrespektrum abdeckten, wurden von 16 renommierten Produzenten auf den Dancefloor zurückgeholt: Âme, Boys Noize, Carl Craig, DJ Koze, Jackmaster & Skream, Keinemusik, Kim Ann Foxman, Lena Willikens, Maceo Plex, Michael Mayer, Pantha Du Prince, Stimming & Johannes Brecht und Trance Wax. Jeder von ihnen liefert in seinem eigenen Stil, aber auf den Club ausgerichtet.

Following on 5 years after their exceptional debut collaboration 'The Gift The Curse', Atjazz & Jullian Gomes hit a home run with this incredible collection of audio artwork.

Their new album 'Big Bad Crazy' points out the broken state of our world, and on the flipside the ongoing struggle to make it through the pain. A truly inspirational & original work from these well respected creative's.

Part two of this two-part album sampler kicks off with 'Decoded' layering a dynamic and deep synth melody with echoing arps and blissed out guitar samples. 'Don Esquire' follows up twisting and turning vocal refrains amongst an emotionally charged concoction of synth stabs and cosmic bleeps.

On the flip side, 'Love Me' delves into more techno territory, resonating and reverberating elements round the depths of the mind, to induce a hypnotic state of awe. The final track 'Empty Paradise' evokes distant memories from the past, combining dusty drum samples, hazy piano melodies and those dreamlike vocals that echo off into the ether.

Here's to hoping that it's not another 5 years before Atjazz & Jullian Gomes choose to collaborate once more.

dj poolboi is back on hand to soothe the soul with the latest edition of our Classic Cuts series. The third volume of his poignant rarities collection sees the Austin native continue doing what he does best: capturing universally-resonant moods which reflect the human condition, finding peace in its uncertainty and changefulness. Expect delicate piano melodies, gentle, reverberating steel drum sounds, indiscernible vocals and introspective atmospheres that you can melt into. In tone, we file this one next to DJ Python and CiM.

Make Your Own Meaning continues to convey its unique techno message with a new statement of intent from label head Lurka. The artist has been busy of late and continues to be on a roll with another fascinating four tracker that genuinely serves up some original sounds and rhythms. 'Trip' gets things underway with organic percussive patterns stacked up over drilling bass to make for a prickly groove. 'Airlock' is similar but darker and heavier and 'Sick Flips' keeps the nimble feel going with dancing perc, rigid synths and scratchy sound effects all coalescing over broken drum patterns. Last of all is another dense, busy and multi-layered melange of tiny percussive sounds, synths and clipped rhythms that will make any floor move.

Mark Broom releases his ‘Fünfzig’ LP on Radio Slave’s Rekids this July.

Stretched across a double LP, ‘Fünfzig’ is a full-throttle display of Brooms’ funk-laden take on a wide range of electronic-inspired music, covering house, techno, disco, dub, electro, and beyond. Speaking of the LP, Broom states that “Fünfzig is a continuation of my previous releases for Rekids & displays my various styles of House, Techno & the bits in-between”.

‘Mover’ kicks off proceedings with swinging drums and chopped-up piano licks, moving into the hand-in-the-air, disco-inflected ‘We Gonna Dance’, featuring vocals from his daughter Ella Fleur. ‘Stark’ takes inspiration from soundsystem culture, bringing cavernous reverbs atop a monstrous bass while siren-esque leads ring throughout.

Opening the B-side, ‘Let’s Roll’ sees Broom head into full-blown techno territory, as crunching bass and fierce drums collide with a series of stabs and whistles, a theme continued in the no-nonsense steamroller ‘EFX’. ‘Dub Me Good’ closes the B-side with a heady dose of FX-drenched outboard trickery as mammoth drum hits rocket around a languid bassline.

‘Machine’ opens the second disc with fluttering synthesis and robust, dramatic drums for a pounding affair, followed by the bright and squelchy ‘Memories’ which works its way through emotive pads and crisp drums before ‘Lovers Rock’ lowers the tempo, bringing swirly atmospherics amongst machine-driven patterns. The final side of vinyl sees Broom hit the gas pedal with ‘Living For Ya’, ‘The 114’, and ‘What To Do’, delivering a raucous finalé of sample-driven, barn-storming disco pumpers.

With appearances on legendary imprints such as Robert Hood’s M-Plant, Warp Records, Pure Plastic, Bpitch Control, and of course Rekids, Broom is one of the UK’s foremost techno luminaries. Alongside contemporaries such as Ben Sims, Luke Slater, Surgeon, and James Ruskin, with collaborations under the Fear Ratio with the latter counted as favourites amongst fans, Broom has flown the flag for UK techno for decades. Delivering one of his most accomplished collections of work to date on ‘Fünfzig’, his return to Radio Slave’s vital Rekids imprint showing an artist whose best work is far from behind him.

Bristol-based DJ and producer GotSome has been on an upward trajectory within the global electronic music scene since making his debut in 2014, releasing genre-bending material via labels including Ultra, Armada, Nervous and Defected, whilst collaborating with a string of notable names including AC Slater through to Jack Beats, and delivering remixes for the likes of Basement Jaxx, Kenny Dope and Roisin Murphy.

Following the release of ‘Nomad Chat’ on Toolroom, he now returns to the label alongside vocalist Clementine to deliver his latest single, ‘Caught In Your Rhythm’ on a two track vinyl exclusive package.

Two productions combining uplifting melodies, slick bassline sequences and sensual drums alongside Clementine’s infectious and powerful vocals, ‘Caught In Your Rhythm’ reveals an up-front, peak-time cut from the ever-impressing UK talent and marks an impressive return to Toolroom in the process.

Chicago mainstay Mark Grusane partners up with Eric Schwab of metro Detroit to co-produce five diverse tracks that channel some of their Midwest dancefloor influences. The pair developed the tracks over several studio sessions during a Chicago winter, combining their respective sonic inspirations with assorted gear, sounds and samples that they each brought together.

The A1 is a cheeky club house track with an upbeat bassline, bouncing synth stabs, looping vocals by Amiruz, and a touch of 303. On A2 a driving beat rides over a wonky bass loop, filtered percussion layers, and dialogue snippets from a 70’s crime flick. On the flip, B1 layers 303 basslines and bleeps, spacey atmospheric sounds, and monotonous vocal clips, fusing 80’s synth music and mid-90’s electro. B2 is a relaxed deep electro cut, with 808 rhythms, dissonant synth pads and basslines, and the voice of Mark Grusane. B3 delivers a house jam with a chunky bassline, drum machine workouts, and percussive vocal samples. Whether you’re looking for sunny house cuts or late night freak jams, this record has something for everyone.

Gabriel Ananda delivered his first original EP for a label other than his own in over a year! 'Warm Cologne' which features two originals from Gabriel, is available now on Monique Musique.

Julian is a real studio wizard. The 7th Eliptic release, Peach In Chaos LP, is his much anticipated debut LP. It finds him explore rhythms that are imbued with all manner of late night motifs. Deft pads, wonky samples, chunky techno kicks and filtered loops all bring off beat charm and curious character to each and every track.

On A side, the bleep-heavy 'Peace In Chaos' stands out from the very first kick as a dance floor track, it spans across the full spectrum with the psychedelic bass and crunchy '90s techno groove. On the flip, Julian explores a deeper territory, with some twitchy samples and nagging groove, on the minimalistic - but no less fluid or mind-altering - 'Joaca'.

'Just Be' has a more rugged groove with slippery shakers and kinked percussions, tough rolling minimal aimed squarely at the main room at peak time, the dense bass pulsations of the track compliment the mood. 'Nightzzz' takes things into moodier territory with a broad sweep of keys spelling out an eerie mood around a break beat. A complete journey on B side.

Get ready for more swing-fuelled hypnotic groove business on C side, featuring the late night bass driven bump of 'Say Cheese At The Radio', that it gets more heady, with swirling pads circling round the vocal and nimble hits.

With 'Day-Z', Julian is diving deep into murkier waters via the creepy electronics, foreboding chords and heavy bass line, hypnotic enough for perfect dance floor dynamics. Finally, go deep into the afterhours on the atmospheric and sensual mood of 'A Matter Of Choice'.

Played by Rhadoo and Raresh.

Saramago debuts on Lisbon’s Carpet & Snares with four slices of deep and groove-laden house. This is an EP of contrasts, the light skip of the A side shadowed by the more driving pulse of the B. Opening with the dubby, weightless house of ‘The Red Room’, Saramago then treats us to a wiggly banger in “Unicorn”, sure to melt today’s dancefloors. ‘Sakaboto’ takes things into darker territory with a focussed acid groove that opens up halfway through with twinkling pads. ‘Happy Endings’ rounds things off with funk and flair, another sure-fire peak-time bumper.
