A message from the unknown.. limited to 200 copies

A new incredible artist on Sushitech Records, timeless Berlin deep techno! Vinyl only release!

the 1st Funkenflug Various Artist Compilation contains a Deep Orchestra of tracks on a 200 pieces pressed limited Vinyl Edition.

Detroit artist Javonntte’s third album for Ten Lovers Music continues the theme set by the 2019 album No Rush and the 2020 album Runaway Galaxy. Flight 77 is full of summer jazz fusion grooves for the dancefloor now the world is getting back to something like normal. Javonnttes unmistakeable trademark sound runs through all the tracks on this album with Annette being a tribute to his mother who introduced him to jazz. Free Your Soul written by Caruso and Javonntte rounds off the album with a reprise by label boss Steve Conry.

Reflections Of Yesterday is a new label with an eye on the future and a subtle nod to the past.

Al Bradley has done some mighty fine releases for Midnight Social Recordings, Muzik & Friends Records, Bass Clef Music and his own 3AM Recordings with a penchant for all things Deep and Dubby his tracks were a perfect fit for the first release on Reflections Of Yesterday.

Scott Hallam has had releases on Axia Records, The North Remembers, Epoque Music, Parrish Digital, and Sub-Urban Undertones Recordings. Although known for his love of full on Acid House, his tracks here delve significantly deeper as he crosses genres with ease.


"Excellent 12. In my opinion, there’s just not enough of this type of music being released. Emotive rich sounds coupled with lush analog bass lines take the listener on one of those deep journeys thatonly music made by people who understand house can make"
Paul Wise (Placid)

Pale Blue Dot is excellent. Builds up nicely, real future classic Chicago/Detroit crossover.
Modern Senses is absolutely class - love it - like a nite drive through a futuristic city - wonderful,
bass line is analogue heaven.
Derek Carr

Extremely solid release starting off with two tracks by Al Bradley 'Pale Blue Dot' which carries on
the early house style but in a much deeper way. Then we have Chicago house vibes on 'In Flagrante Delicto' with its dreamy pads and subtle acid towards the end of the track.
On the flip there's two tracks by Scott Hallam with the latin percussion filled 80's inspired 'Kettle
Crusader' followed by the gorgeous, almost Yello Magic Orchestra-esque 'Modern Senses' showing how versatile he is as a producer. All four tracks are pure quality.
Mark Archer

The second Planet Tapes EP comes out when sharing artistic expression is having a huge low blow across the world. With the introduction of the new V/A, we believe you will get the right alternative for these gloomy times.
A1 written by the American, Liquid Earth. A man who constantly experiments and in fact this time he presents himself with an environmental version. Celestial melody seasoned with an acid-glitchy arpeggio that makes everything a unique journey.
A2 created by the Spanish brothers-duo, Primary Perception. We especially admired them for the Slow Life releases and their live sets. Once again, from their blood bond, deep and dreamy progressive chords are born.
A3 composed by the Italians, Solidwood & Joris Blaine. Having met each other back in 2015, they decided to join forces five years later. The result is waiting to be discovered.
B1 belongs to the mysterious French, 4 Chemins. Official debut in discography for him with a track where orchestral-style melodies are the masters.
B2 represented by the well-known Italian leaders of the label, Two Opposites. Contrary to what they showed us in the first EP, they have chosen a more romantic spirit, but the care and attention to detail is always the same.

The always-innovative John Beltran surprises us with his first release on a Romanian label. The circularity of Energy Circle, the beauty of The Cycles EP, sets a typically Beltran soundscape, a melodic mood for this three-pieced beauty. The Sun Also Rises on the flip side, making it the rather bright beast of the release, while the marching B2 – Going Uphill Fast (hope on the horizon) — is a granular techno classic, closing Eufonic Records' first release on a very Detroit note.

DJ BOO WILLIAMS is back with more of his signature sound on this limited & stamped release of “TRIBULATION” & “MENTAL RELEASE". Arpeggiated movements, syncopated rhythms & plenty of sonic peaks & valleys are featured on both tracks. A “TRIBULATION” dub also included from surprise Chicago producer.

uju & Jordashs debut from 2004 gets the repress many were waiting for. An in-demand Psychostasia release - be quick!
.
Two versions of the title track come on the A side. The original is an easy track, light percussive with thin strings and saxophone. 'Hushees' on the same side is a remix from the original and has a more straightforward beat and prominent bassline. The flip sees a remix by the Koomba project ( Reggie Dokes and Scott Ferguson). Check it out!

Deep88 is back!


Here is a 7 track LP, music without any pretence, no silly fx or crazy compression/production tricks to take away from the music.. Just that 1988/1993 vibe with a slight Balearic twist but some how avoiding to sound like a poor copy or dated.


This last statement couldn't be any truer on this release.


The vibe is carried through the whole EP with each consequent track then offering something a little bit different, some showing his balearic side and other tracks having a more house feel.

Excited and happy as a banana can be

Gerd's return to Royal Oak! For the occasion he dusted of the classic gear and especially the Yamaha DX100. Four tracks from Planet F.M.D.X.

Nicson is Seville-based Spanish producer Vicente Rodriguez, founder of Flumo Recordings, who makes his Third Ear debut with a dark, rolling House record. Two tracks are collaborations with Skinnybone Love. Trippy and deep.

Debut release from Costas on his new label. 3 ultradeep heady originals complimented by a slick hypno-roller remix by man-of-the-moment Cosmjn, fresh from his ‘Soul Things’ LP.

The "Project 5 EP" is an absolutely critical piece of underground House from Kelli Hand, The undisputed "first lady" of Detroit House / Techno.

Having changed hands for substantial sums of money on-line over the years, this is the first time the EP has been repressed on wax and made widely available much to the joy of dance music lovers and Detroit fanatics worldwide.

Re-pressed and re-mastered in conjunction with Kelli Hand and with the original Acacia Records artwork intact, this is an unmissable re-release of a record that has stood the test of time and will continue to rock dance-floors well into the future.

"Music from a well known place to an unknown destination..."

A1. Muggy Detroit Heat (Mixed by Norm Talley, produced by Omar-S)

B1. Jus Hangin (Produced by Moodymann & Norm Talley, Mashed up by D'Julz)

Vinyl only. Limited copies. No repress.

Guri has been on the forefront of the emerging Balearic house music scene since 2011. DJ, producer and one third of the electronic live band Round Shaped Triangles. He has released his music on top-notch labels like Wolf + Lamb, Nite Grooves or Sub_Urban, where he also works as AR. On his vinyl debut, Guri shows us that he feels like fish in the water producing the most undergound side of house music.

"Into The Light" and "House Of Life" are two timeless deep house masterpieces, whose common denominator is a powerful bubbly bassline that hits you in the chest like the toughest heavyweight boxer. Catchy female disco voices and ethereal pads add to both tracks the necessary atmosphere to become two psychedelic and adrenaline trips.

The first remix comes by the always amazing Ruff Stuff. His rework is strongly influenced by Detroit 90's techno, with minor and melancholic chords, strong rhythms and an underground and raw sound. Quality at its best! Iban Montero & Jazzman come back to Cyanide to put the icing on the cake with the funkiest thang you've heard in a long time. Yes! These guys have more funk than Shaft driving a Chevelle through Harlem, and this track is no exception. Pure fire!

A limited one sided 12' focusing attention on the September 11th bombing. Sampling news from that day & combining it with a Marvin Gaye sample. Typical moody downbeat Theo stuff.

The title track was previously released around 1997 on the french Apricot records imprint. This 12" however has a different version (the '97 Predeccesors mix) then the Apricot release and features Jerry the Cat & Yamini Nayar. The flip has the unreleased 'I am these roots', also feat. Jerry The Cat. Well recommended!

And one day Jack yelled down from his box “Let There Be House” and House Music was born. House is a feeling it´s very positive, it´s uplifting, it´s dance music and most importantly it´s for all people from every different walk of life. Back in the days it spoke especially to those who were considered to be outsiders. The house music dance scene was one of the most integrated and progressive spaces in the 1980s where gays, blacks, and other minority groups were able to dance together in a positive environment. House music helped to glue communities together it was like church for people who have fallen from grace and it´s influence on the development of the modern dance music culture is undeniable. Until today the idea of equality, unity, love, and respect is a widespread set of principles for the rave culture which developed out of house and retained a foothold on the underground scene but also across it´s borderlines all over the globe. The new NBAST Sub-label “We Must Protect This House” is a homage to the ethos of the Paradise garage and to the early days of house music, to Chicago and New York and the music culture itself with a more grown up approach … but with the same distinctive spirit as #datsoulthang

Originally released back in 2008 - Mosaic Classics is a beautiful selection of 5 tracks that were recorded in the late 90s by UK dub techno legend Steve O'Sullivan. Those were some of the tracks that shaped the house-techno sound in the early 00s and remain relevant many years later... timeless music! 15th Anniversary - Clear vinyl collectors edition.

“Time to fix up! The third Deep Street instalment is here, with three fresh house tracks featuring Jay L and Andy Mac in combination for the first time on the A side cut, Planet Spanner; an acid-edged house rhythm, unfurling from a rude baseline with radiant chords, layers of rolling percussion and psychotropic FX.

Things go deeper on the flip with two productions from Andy & Jay in solo mode, but drawing a match with tough drums and a moody, dubbed out agenda.”

From somewhere in Tennessee. Actually, Knoxville Tennessee. Raw Electro and Breakbeats out of the swamps. Techno and Tennessee are not normally thought of together, but here they are. Bumping.

It is claimed that Three is the perfect number. Many fields of human thought have reasoned concerning this number: Religion, Literature, Philosophy. It's an easy number to reach but difficult to cross. Once you cross the Three everything takes other forms. It's a pass, there are those who will perish and those who stops and observe. Some believe that their work is finished there. But there are also those who consider it the closest point to the sky and the stars and draw the strength to continue their work.

Detroit's John Beltran under his alias "Indio" was released on CD back in 1999 on Derrick May's Transmat label. We are very pleased to present you this fantastic album which have been remastered and will now be available for the first time on vinyl. A timeless journey of warm Detroit vibes from the start to the end...

Not content with defining the sound of minimal techno in the nineties, Robert Hood has more recently fine tuned his own gospel tinged take on the genre. It comes under the Floorplan moniker, the genesis of which is said to have come to him when awakened by a late night vision. Since 2016, it has been a collaborative duo between Hood and daughter Lyric, and never fails to lead to religious experiences on the dance floor.

With roots in the Detroit techno scene in which Hood first emerged, Floorplan’s sound is embellished with the heartfelt emotions and unbridled passions of Chicago house music. It is heavy and analogue and filled with vigour thanks to the expert drum programming and ever rising sense of euphoria that comes from the well sculpted synths. But it also speaks to the heart and soul and has done since first standout cut ‘We Magnify His Name.’ The pair’s endless quest for the perfect groove continued through albums like 2013’s Paradise - which spawned anthemic singles like ‘Let’s Ride, ‘Baby Baby’ and the massive ‘Never Grow Old’ - and 2016’s Victorious.

The same year saw Hood’s daughter Lyric officially become part of the project. Since then they have taken Floorplan to endless headline shows at high profile clubs and festivals everywhere from New York City to Ibiza, London to Amsterdam. Their electric sets leave crowds feeling uplifted, spiritually awakening and totally in awe. Part of the success of Floorplan is the combination of Robert’s old school excellence and Lyric’s new school innovation: their music, with its big chords and even bigger vocal samples, could be 30 years old or fresh from the pressing plant, such is its universal sense of appeal.

Another new album is due on Aus Music in winter 2019 and once again distills the power of techno and feelings of house music with a certain sense of studio magic that emerges when this iconic father-daughter duo come together. It is rare to make music as stripped back yet emotionally enriched as Floorplan, but this pair do it with ease and a firm focus on durable grooves. Functional but full of form, tense but atmospheric, loopy but ever evolving, Floorplan truly transcend the dance music spectrum.

31*9: I've completely lost my way in this rocky maze and to make matters worse, I've lost half of my tail. I don't understand, it's as if my most important point of orientation, Mount Nduja itself, is constantly shifting. And why do I keep hearing these clangorous sounds...?

Norm Talley Lands On Frole Records With The Blak Bottom Ep, Three Original Tracks In Pure Detroit Vibe!

A welcome solo production from Igaxx on Japanese label LADYBUG !!
As with his contributions to the first release, we're enveloped in perfectly crafted, richly textured afrocentric deepness. With Detroit signatures, and a roots House spirit throughout, these tracks really sound timeless.

Hugo Capablanca provides a dark, psychedelic rework. Superb !!

The original Adventures in Techno Soul compilation was released back in 1996 with remixes of Ferox tracks from the likes of Derrick Carter, Carl Craig and Kenny Dixon Jr. A full 16 year's after its follow up "Further Adventures in Techno Soul" comes this 8 track album of new and unreleased material on double vinyl from 8 different and exciting artists. Ferox is proud to welcome established and respected producers such as Fred P and Germany's Move D to the roster, as well as a welcome return from Affie Yusuf, Nebraska and Bush Funk (Steve O'Sullivan and Winlord X) who were last seen on Soma Records back in 1996. The label is also proud to introduce two new artists, Darren Harris and Spain's Hoax Believers who alongside label boss Russ Gabriel round off this package of soulful electronica. This album is not available as a digital release.

Detroit's Filthiest transports us to the secret levels of dance music, revealing the hidden keys that were there all along.

Pudel Produkte 33 is like a time machine back to homely MFOC ages when Rephlex' very own IG-88 used to be a resident at this very Hamburg club and MFOC-promoter Raf jokingly insulted Richard D. James (with the Aphex Twin standing right behind him, mind you). Blessed times indeed, which quad-ratschulz perfectly emulates with his exquisitely constructed aural body made of braindancing melan-cholodies and thrilling electro boogie. Ralf & Florian meet AFX in an elevator and do have some sto-ries to share. An EP so good you are asking yourself if the upcoming Remix EP can top that (hint: it can). Meanwhile, the dancefloor dictator issues a strict buying order! (Superdefekt)

Basic Soul Unit has become one of Dolly's regulars over the years. He is wel known for his perfect blend of stepping Chicago house, Detroit techno and UK broken beat. Every release is party guaranteed material with a deep elegant twist that makes his music stand out like no other. Beautiful basslines, breaks and bleeps make his new 'Unbound' EP a super powerful 3 tracker for serious dance floor workouts!
