Underground Sonic Energy!
Defunct San Francisco Free Jazz-Free Punk band LIBERTAS finds release on La Mission.
Growing up in San Francisco, one of the most important punk bands in the tight-knit Mission scene was 50 MILLION. When Beaner discovered 50 Million Member Wade 'Storey' Driver's new Free Jazz-Free Punk project LIBERTAS, he had to release their 'Song For The End Of The World'.

Remixes by MAX GRAEF (in his REVEREND G guise), KENNETH SCOTT, and J CHOIRBOY & BEANER fill out the project. The remixes span the gamut.
Max's weirdo spacelord deep house remix builds to several crescendos, continuing his meteoric rise. Kenneth's tongue in cheek nod to 90s house a la Dajae also mixes in modern elements present in his work on labels like Circus Company.

Lastly, the collaboration between La Mission core members J Choirboy & Beaner has a subdued yet big Shed light sound. Something for everyone.

As with past releases in the ongoing kunst/WORK series, this one includes a Magazine (40+ pages, Performance Ticket (for the third performance related to the record and magazine) and defaced Zimbabwean Currency (seen below). All these things tying together the theme of 'Divesting from Capital/Against Austerity/Exposing the false Scarcity Economy'

Essential 4 track EP of deep disco and summer soul, boogie house and steady groovin' funk edits. All tracks are given Magnetic Soul's expert disco dub treatment focusing on grooves, added presence and beefed up bottom end for a solid dance floor feel.

The A side enters the spacious tropical House vibes of Summer Love and the delightful slow building soul strings and vocal of Universal Love. The B side hits first with some low slung, raw funk grooves with added brass stabs and leaves us on psychedelic soul funk, à la Gil Scott of Cold Outside.

Support from: Rahaan, Mark 7, LTJ, Vinyl Addicted, Copycat, Yam Who, 80s Child, Beaten Space Probe, Jay Ru & Sad Ghost...

...experimentell, gewagt, deutsche vocals, 40iger jahre, sehr gelungen electro vom feinsten

Welcome aboard Tieffrequent !

Deep house bomb and genius piece of music by Frankfurt's Le Rubrique containing 3 originals and an unexpected but trademark UGLY DRUMS version.

Must Have!!

TFQ005 starts with the title track 'The Art Of Loving' which could be named a classic deep house track but with some delicate magical elements.
Warm and intricate yet heavy construction, and a mesmerising effect on the floor. Next up, 'Stoya' is a collaboration with BfAM from Barcelona and an impressive deep houser which slows it down a bit. The heavy bass line in combination with the discoid claps and the background pads straight from the basement captures you and won't let you hide.

On the flip, 'Back To Back' is a co-production with long term friend, music colleague and sound wizard Paradice. The result is an indescribable soul catching piece of music.

Ugly Drums’ Version of the main title track fits perfectly in the context of the whole EP. It gives a perfect thematic frame, reworking the original parts in their definitive style. Flavoured with some concise Ugly Drums moments, genially arranged cuts and a murder bass line it is the perfect start for a warm set

TFQ005 is a diverse dance floor filler but also a listener for your speakers at home.
A very classy selection on a label that's a cut above

Brand new Sound Signature from Craig Huckaby featuring production from Theo Parrish and Pirahnahead. We will send out updated info with sound clips and images as soon as we get them but you know the drill by now - pre-ordering is essential.

If you were to cut Neville Watson he would bleed acid house, he'd also quite likely knock you flat on your arse for having the temerity to wave a knife at him, but that's a whole other story. For his first WU contribution he ventures down the ethereal proto-house boulevard. Jacking 707 patterns, a bouncing Juno bassline and outer-space synth lines take you into the upper atmosphere for a glorious airborne joyride. As ever, Neville manages to evoke those 85-89 feelings without ever sounding merely retro or like some kind of pastiche, something that many attempt but very few manage to pull off.

Caroline Chaspoul and Eduardo Henriquez mapped the scenes of Europe and Latin America for over 12 years with their band PANICO. Combining a taste of post punk with latin energy "straight from Chile", PANICO heralded the heyday of the punk funk revival in Europe and became a cult group in Latin America.
Ten albums later, Caro and Edu have launched a new project : NOVA MATERIA. 
NOVA MATERIA was born from the willingness to consider music as a direct derivative of the natural and industrial elements that surround us. More electronic and experimental than PANICO, the duo uses raw material to transform and recycle : scrap metal tubes, stones rubbed on metal, drum, beat boxes, bass, electric guitars used as percussions....To refine their sound Caro and Edu nabbed DJ and producer CHLOE, a real expert in turning raw elements into golden nuggets.
NOVA MATERIA is a two-headed hydra: one tropical, the other industrial. Their first EP "APARECE EN SUENOS" is a concentrate of wild energy, live act ferocity and sound experiments magnified by CHLOE.

Limited to 500 LP+ Download Card. Chief and Deheb join forces to bring you Leaf', a full-length instrumental album showcasing the seamless result of two deft beatmakers merging their individual signatures into a unified craft. Both artists each have a long history in beat-making, Chief and´Deheb have worked alongside but never together, and to share a task that's usually tackled by one seemed like a challenge and a new thrill to the two. The use of samples taken from original Brazilian music in the two producers' collections was the starting point for the creation of 'Leaf'. Using the gorgeous textures and atypical sounds to fashion an atmosphere rather than make a typical beats album with over-used long samples was the end goal. The result of this synthesis between two seasoned beatmakers' flair is an elaborate, slow-paced and subtle collection of instrumentals that materializes each contributor's ideas into a solid and distinctive new identity. A collection of eleven laid back instrumental pieces that submerge you in a lavishly soulful atmosphere, Leaf' is yet another must-have contribution from the Feelin' stable to the beats scene. For fans of: Savath & Savalas, Jneiro Jarel, Madlib,... S

Blaq Numbers continues with a heavy compilation on 180g vinyl - an ecletic selection, made to last in your cases.Ranko and Toefflinger kick off very relaxed: smooth vibes for gettin´ straight into the Jacuzzi, while Peter Clamat brings some cozy G-Funk to the party. Up next, Carlo and Fede Lng serve two stomping raw joints for sweaty basement nights. At the crack of dawn, let Lootbeg lift you up with his glittering homage to the eighties.

Those who have been following the Cosmology series from its inception will no doubt be familiar with the ad hoc release schedule and will perhaps have grown accustomed to the diverse range of styles that their ep's encompass. Each one has trodden a different path in the pursuit of updating pivotal dancefloor memories and Cosmology volume four is the most ambitious reworking to date. The choice for this instalment's source material is a topical one as the influence here comes from Herman Sonny Blount, better known as the Free Jazz pioneer Sun Ra; this year has seen various celebrations to mark what would have been his 100th Birthday.



The poet & philosopher 's time on this planet was spent largely musing life in outer Space, fighting for better civil rights all whilst building a staggering catalogue of forward thinking music inspired by his radical ideas and a willingness to believe in the infinite possibilities for creating a better world to live in. He is credited as the inspiration behind the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) and BAG (Black Artists Group), both groups formed separately during the 60's in Chicago and St Louis to increase awareness and opportunities for creative black artists of the day.



Sun Ra was also one of the very first artists to see the importance of controlling the rights to his own music and his legacy lived on many decades later, loosely shaping the sound and mind-set of the early Detroit techno movement. If you recall that volume 3 focused on political firebrands The Last Poets, you will see that subjects that hold interest for the Cosmologist use their music to convey a particular world view, and who deserve acclaim not only for the body of work they created, but equally for the battles they fought beyond the confines of the studio walls.



The Cosmos and Moog loving Sun Ra, the original Cosmologist in every sense was so far ahead of his time but his spirit is fully reincarnated in Future Space. This reshaping stretches the bounds of what could be classed as an edit, but the Sun Ra ethos can be found indelibly embedded between the groove. The start point for this project was some snatched vocals and the saxophone from the 1972 opus, 'Space is the Place'.



The sax riff was originally recorded in a Quintuple (an unusual 5/4 meter, which anyone familiar with Sun Ra will attest that his chaotic band leading makes the edit process nigh on impossible). Ever up for the challenge, Laurie somehow managed to cajole this into a more friendly 4/4 time signature, which forms the off kilter and strangely hypnotic bassline that underpins the track, leaving just the faintest whisper of the original intact. This mid tempo burner increases the intensity as it progresses, taking its time to wrap itself round you, into your mind and once this haunting melody gets you, you stay got. Left of field adventurers will have fun trying testing their crowd with this, and figuring out what to file it under.



Flip it over and we return to more familiar soulful surroundings, albeit with a notably different sphere of influence and approach from the A side. This too retains that trademark Cosmologist otherworld spaciness and crate diggers and modern soul aficionados will identify the lush, swirling disko gem from Flowers, a hard to come by rarity, entitled For Real. Oozing soul from the opening bar, we have a track where very little reconstruction work was needed, so instead a nuanced yet restrained alteration is employed which retains all the class, and gives it a respectful re-calibration, opening it to a slightly wider range of DJ's to program.



This was recorded during the Christmas break of 2013, but sat in the can for almost a year awaiting another track to pair it up with. Two wildly contrasting edits that will add something to the ongoing what is a remix/ edit debate, this double header will be the perfect storm to bring in the new-year and comes beautifully presented on 180g heavyweight vinyl, with black inner and a spined manila sleeve.

Detroit Swindle are back on Dirt Crew, after their tremendous succes within a year of their first release we are very happy to have them follow up the great - Nothing Else Matters EP' they released in April 2012. So what can you expect here, the same stab driven deep bassy house joints like the previous release of course. The boys are currently ruling the club scenes with amazing releases. With their - Creep EP' on Jimpster's brilliant Freerange label they cemented their place in the House music scene in 2012 for sure. Here you will find three new original cutz and a contribution by Leftside Wobble who remixed the title track. As one of the edit kings in the UK right now, he took the original towards a new direction as in an edit kind of way and kept most of the original feel and sound of the track. As a bonus on the vinyl edition of this release we put their biggest track to date - Jick Rames' that was released earlier this year digitally. So it's up for the next round for Detroit Swindle to even make it bigger in 2013!

Greetings, earthlings: we come from the land of endless summers and spontaneous jam sessions to deliver Get Physical number 300. It's brought to you by the trio from Copenhagen known as WhoMadeWho, a genre-bending group of buddies who are no strangers to critically-acclaimed albums: from their first-ever eponymous album back in 2005, to 2012's chart-topping 'Brighter' LP, all the way to last year's 'Dreams' LP, which was in fact, touted by many as one of the best things to come from the indie-dance sector of music in some time. This comes as no surprise coming from a band that's played and toured alongside the likes of Justice, LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk and Hot Chip, who even asked to remix the trio's song 'TV Friend' while they in return covered 'Don't Dance'. Other remixers include underground heavy-hitters The Mole, DJ Koze and Michael Mayer, proving WhoMadeWho's ability to go from mega-stage to basement seamlessly. For the 'Ember' EP, their latest foray into the world of machine music and dreamy soundscapes, the band has stayed true to their pop tendencies while spinning things around and taking a trip right back to their roots. Band member Tomas Barfod - who also produced the release - mentions: 'After many years of emphasizing 'the song' more and more, we felt like just playing around with our instruments, like when we recorded our first album (...) it was like renewing our band-wedding vows; we found our way back to our fun and free approach of making music together". 'Fun' and 'free' might very well be two of the best ways to describe this seven-track creation that skews as much pop as it does surf-rock and slow, meaningful dance music.

Fatty Fatty Phonographics is a new label out of Dublin determined to dispense with lazy loop button editing and get back to the original point - to make great songs work better on the dancefloor .

Pablo is a member of the Downtownsounds crew, who have been keeping the fair capital safe for house and disco shimmy-ing for over a decade now, while Shoey is the resident production whizz from External Sounds, a Drogheda based collective with the same spirit and soul...

First on the chopping block is the rambunctious disco-funk of The Emotions' 'I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love'. Produced by Earth, Wind and Fire's Maurice White and legendary arranger Charles Stepney, this one plays heavily on the gospel flavoured vocal breakdown and heavy funk horns, which Andy Weatherall et al chewed a chunk off of for the Primal Scream classic 'Loaded'.
Following Dead Rose Music Company's recent hypno-house floor-smasher 'Just A Bitter Love', the lads take the Gladys Knight belter 'Taste Of Bitter Love' and put the song right back at the centre, playing around with the luscious piano line and keening strings, even creating a dreamy new 2 step outro for sweet and smooth mixing out...

Last but not least we have legendary funky drummer Bernard Purdie and his 1972 cut 'Good Livin' Good Lovin'. It's a heavy funk bomb with a psychedelic wah-wah led intro and an absolutely killer piano line, not to mention some wise words from Bill Cosby on the jazz, lifted from obscuro American cult comedy show 'The Simpsons'.

Radio support from Lauren Laverne, Guy Garvey and Huey Morgan on BBC Radio 6 Music, Patrick Forge, Kev Beadle, Bob Jones and many more worldwide.
You No Fit Touch Am has been universally received with open arms. A perfect document of the lessons Dele learned in Fela Kuti's ranks during the 70s and 80s, but brought firmly up-to-date and with contemporary social comment as vital to the afrobeat genre as any rhythm or instrument. To take that forward thinking even further Wah Wah 45s commissioned four huge remixes from some of the UKs most interesting new production names.
Tru Thoughts' no-nonsense house producer Titeknots first delivered us a massive tropical-house take on Sanctuary back in January. Gaining radio support from Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 6 Music, Wah Wah 45s received an endless amount of requests for this to appear on vinyl, so here we are. Alongside it Wolf Music legend and in-demand house remixer Medlar brings an, intense and insistent disco flavoured rework. To complete the package two relatively new production duos bring quite distinctly different versions. Warsaw artists Ptaki take on slow burner We Siddon We Dey Look with characteristic punch and new London outfit Modified Man light a broken beat fire under the album title track You No Fit Touch Am.
Four tracks of killer dancefloor fodder for pretty much every occasion. Taking the already incendiary music of Dele Sosimi in a more angular and electronic direction, worthy of a rare 12" release on the Wah Wah imprint, we're sure you'll agree.
Born in Hackney, East London, but soon to return to his parents' native Nigeria at the age of four, Dele Sosimi was schooled and raised in Fela Anikulapo Kuti's shadow at the height of early 70s afrobeat. Having been chosen by Fela to join his band at somewhat of a tender age, he was still a young man when sharing Fela's Glastonbury stage in 1984, and became both Musical Director for both Fela's Egypt 80 and Femi Kuti's Positive Force.
After Fela's passing in 1997, Dele went on to concentrate on his own solo career and, with diligent patience, carved out his own Afrobeat crown. In London, where he now resides, his Afrobeat Vibration all-nighters are charged with his passion, labours and his unrelenting spirit and deliver Fela classics alongside his own compositions from his first two studio albums, Turbulent Times, and Identity.
London's new Afrobeat king is here to party and you're all welcome to join in!

A killer package for collectors & DJ's alike - Limited pressing so act fast!

Less than a year since he served up his third album "Urban Animal," Claude VonStroke delivers more brand new original material! Based on the personal experience of starting at the bottom selling fake perfume out of the the trunk of his car, 'CaliFuture' foretells the sunny-sided ironies experienced by the legions of fame and heat-seekers who head out to the Golden State each year in the pursuit of The Dream. No matter how many knock-backs, no matter how many thankless interim occupations, no matter how many people yell at you each day; there's an overriding deep sense of hope that you WILL make it someday.

The barbed Bootsy-style falsetto narrative comes from VonStroke's close friend Barry Drift - who you may recognise from 'Urban Animal's 'Sugar & Cinnamon' - and his sermon is complemented by an obese acid groove that thunders unrelentingly beneath. Fluctuating analogue funk, it taps into the deepest tech DNA with a lava-like flow.

On the flip, 'Eye I Eye' is equally heavy and twice as twisted. A simple vocal shot is mangled, wrangled and tangled in the way only Claude knows how. Warped and wonderful, the vocal and processed percussion rise and excite with a strong sense of dirtybird insanity before plunging into juicy tech-funk groove. Mischievously jacking with a robust bass/kick play-off, more processed vocal shots enter the fray along with eerie risers that ghost up and down the scale with a fun sense of unpredictability.

A finer insight into the dark and devious mind of the dirtybird bossman you will not find. The question is: did his hard pre-fame Cali slog create this twisted mindset... Or was it already in place before he got there

After previous releases on Hija De Colombia, El Nino Andres (here credited as El Nino only) debuts on new vinyl label called Jackie Brown. Jackie Brown aims to release series of mini LPs, providing conceptual music stories, while at the same time not neglecting the main consequence of good house music -dance groove. House music infected with funk, soul and boogie grooves - we are not inventing nothing new, we've been inspired by many labels that came before. El Nino delivers first story on our label, and in our humble opinion shows the very best side of house music with a groove and soul. Though not all tracks are lengthy and floor ready, they make a great ensemble on No Boogie Nights', while tracks like Odds Against Tomorrow', Thieves In The Night' and Something Ain't Right' work great on their own. Everything is rounded up with amazing artwork from Maximilian Moser.

The tuffest unit returns for the first time in 3 years after their debut LP. Kaidi Tatham, Mr Mensah, Matt Lord & dego Ranks come together with a teaser from their yet to be titled sophomore LP dropping next year."Off The Christmas Card List" is a funk boogie monster setting club nights alight, "Hurry Whilst Their Away" draws on a more smoother groove."Fila Heights" sees the gentlemen work out on an uptempo rhythm.
Don't believe it! Then go ask Geo-logy & Volcov.

The wonderful Black Ops sub label from the SLEAZYBEATS crew continues...
For the 9th and penultimate release in the series, the Sleazy Beats gang welcomes Bristol's Admin (Future Boogie, Banoffee Pies) aboard the Black Ops ship, which ventures beyond the trusted beatdown waters the label has been sailing since its inception in 2012 in search of exciting new pastures.
For his 'Super Lover EP', Admin commandeered an obscure record collection and cut up a cheeky trio of summery, sample-heavy disco delights that are rough around the edges but groovy like a drive-in movie.
The Black Ops dudes decided to leave the crackle, hum and imperfections intact as an ode to good old-fashioned art of sampling, a tip of the hat to the format's charm ('life has surface noise mate') and a polite middle finger to the non-descript clinical compressed deep House that seems to be so in vogue now.
As always, this is a limited, vinyl only release. It will not be repressed and will not be released digitally. Not now, not ever.

Fabricio Gerardo Tepetitlan aka 4004 is a Mexican producer known for his previous works under the name of 4004 & Sebastien Vorhaus and Soul Of Hex for labels like FACES, Quintessentials and Vicario Musique.
