Detroit Classic Gallery is a record label based in Buenos Aires, created in 2016 by Juan Ignacio Chiri and Guido Gabriel Sartoris, two young artists presented under the name of"E110101", generating a unique style that refers to Detroit Techno in it's purest form.Based on their musical approach and their artistic imprint when creating a record label,
Detroit Classic Gallery brings an avant-garde look with reference to genuine roots of theDetroit dance floor.The Detroit Classic Gallery imprint is based on a classic sound,
proposing a visionary but retrospective look, that unfolds a range of styles capable of satisfy the most demanding ears. It works as a bridge between emerging producers and true legendary artists, leaving a faithful mark on it's participatory link both on vinyl and
digital media.
Their vision is reinforced through amazing illustrations and artwork. Each vinyl release includes a page from the official Detroit Classic Gallery comic book (also known as 'The
Comic'): a fascinating story through the eyes of their two main characters, their rodent pet and many familiar faces from the scene, that tells a different way of understanding music.
In addition, there will be also exclusive and original videos produced by a specialized audio visual team.
"Back to Basics" is the first vinyl release of E110101 and a starting point for the Detroit Classic Gallery. The title chosen by the Argentine duo works in response to a sonorous
disagreement that both share in the direction that Techno music seems to be being directed. Thanks to this, they have gained the support of two fantastic artists: Orlando Voorn, undisputed nexus between Detroit - Holland and Santiago Salazar, musician,
producer and fundamental part of 'Los Hermanos' and 'Galaxy 2 Galaxy', from Underground Resistance. "000056" is the dawn of this launch, illuminates a new positive road with warm tones, which delimits the outline of large buildings in Detroit. A hopeful look translates into music through harmony, melody and rhythm, fundamental characteristics of this composition.
"000056 Orlando Voorn" captures the essence of the sun and places it directly on the dance floor. "000052" shows the versatility of which E110101 is capable to. The dark side of the moon, the other side of the coin, are only adjectives that promise to describe an easily perceived aggressiveness. "000052 Santiago Salazar", reinterpreted through Groove, a smooth and
friendly version for your ears. Hijacked AM recently incorporated E110101 to their booking roster as "Young Promises", sharing a worldwide booking team with renowned artists like DJ Pierre, Paul Johnson, Orlando Voorn, DJ Skull, Four313 (Blake Baxter, Eddie Fowlkes, Santonio Echols,
Thomas Barnett). Their classic but unique approach won full support of these electronic music pioneers, it's fair to tell that with E110101 and Detroit Classic Gallery a new generation of seriously
skilled artists will rise. 'Back to Basics' EP will be released in early March and they will be promoting their album all over Europe during their tour in July of 2017.

Future Times is feeling super blessed to announce a reissue 12" featuring two hard-to-find cuts by John Selway and his Seltav project with Andrea Taverna. A Side "Shimmerdown" has been a rare grip for a long time on the original CSM wax, due to its status as one of the finest Rhodes-soaked, late-into-the-function cuts ever made. "SPQR", on the flip, is a massive house tune. Heavyweight action on both sides for the Deejays. Both tunes remastered by Dietrich Schoenemann at Complete. Yes!

Repress!

Berlin based Arttu has been dropping his dusty fat beats across numerous techno labels including Philpot, Clone and 4Lux for a few years but it was 2016's track 'Hoodies' on Arttu's own imprint Cyblo that caught the attention of Accidental label boss Matthew Herbert (and which remains firmly in Herbert's record bag). Arttu was invited onto the Accidental Jnr roster and has delivered a chunk of techno with so much swing it made Donkey Kong blush.

Arttu takes the most simple of jazz bass hooks and loops across a rigid kick, it's when those hats kick in that the groove goes fucking wild. The presence of US native Roberto Q Ingram on vocals brings a full Detroit gangster flavour to the party. Initially Arttu and Roberto had an idea to record a simple and sweaty track with Roberto on the mic and Arttu at the control of some dusty old machines. The result, 'Bass Trakk' is exactly that: Roberto dropping lyrics over a raw beat and a massive bassline. The EP is rounded off with a deep bit of techno 'Debris' with all the trappings of the darkest hour of a Berlin winter in which it was recorded.

It's not everyday that pianist and composer, Francesco Tristano, joins forces with one of the Belleville Three - the godfathers of Detroit techno - and yet, anyone who's followed the Luxembourg artist will know that expectation is not a currency he deals in.

Set for release on Transmat, the groundbreaking label from said techno pioneer, Derrick May, Surface Tension is not just the latest album from the prolific Tristano, but perhaps the most significant in his ongoing explorations into electronic music. Described by the man himself as his "most techno and synth-based project yet," the eight-track effort is both a celebration of electronic instrumentation and the first record May has worked extensively on for the better part of two decades. "I had to lure him into my studio," Tristano says of May with a smile, "he was like Alice in Wonderland when he saw the synthesizers."

Originally developed as a way create new material for Tristano's p:anorig project - a unique live set-up debuted at Barcelona's Sónar festival earlier this year, which finds the artist surrounded by large array of keyboards, synthesizers and other equipment (although ironically, no piano) in full view of the audience - Surface Tension grew into a project in its own right. Now 34 years old, Tristano explains that he is only now at a time in his life where he has a studio he can truly call his own. "I can hook up all these synthesizers that I've picked up over the years," he continues, "it's the fulfillment of that." With an instrumentarium of analogue, digital, classic and modern gear - ranging from Prophets to Moogs, to Rolands and Yamahas - at his and May's disposal, Tristano has aimed to keep processing to a minimum from the word go. The pair aren't just using these synths, they're paying tribute to them, honoring the rich, recognisable sound palettes that have made them household names.

The result is an album that feels, at once, nostalgic and fresh, that feels like an old friend, but one who never ceases to surprise. From the ambient vision of 'Esoteric Thing', drifting along to the sound of birdsong, to more beat-centric pieces such as 'The Mentor' and the quirky 'Xokolade' , the equipment, and the love it's been treated with, shines through. Both Tristano and May's individual presences are obvious too, yet work in a way so complimentary to each other as to blur the lines at which they cross. 'Pacific FM' is a lesson in uplifting techno, keys fluttering over padfoot bass, the futuristic Detroit dance of 'In Da Minor' is undercut by eerie, unpredictable glass synth-work, 'Rocco's Bounce' is free-form jazz tugged into line by structured four-to-the-floor, there's even an itchy, jittering, Decca Records-sanctioned remix of Japanese pianist and general Renaissance man, Ryuichi Sakamoto's classic 'Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence'.

Those hoping for a Francesco Tristano piano album: be duly warned. "The piano is there, but it's more like the shadow of the piano. We don't have the mass of that sound, it's more like the reminiscence of that sound," says Tristano. But it's this which gives Surface Tension the aforementioned significance. Tristano hasn't abandoned his roots - they're deep, but there, for those who wish to find them - yet has simultaneously transcended what it means to be a pianist in the 21st century. Tristano and May have brought together old and new, within themselves and on a wider musical level, and in doing so, rekindled the spirit of futurist expression that techno was first founded on all those years ago.

VINYL ONLY. Iban Montoro & Jazzman Wax are one of the most successful combos of the current house music scene. It is very common to find them on all the most important house charts, with their releases on top notch labels such as Strictly Rhythm, Robsoul, I Records or Madhouse. After debuting on Cyanide in July with their awesome ep Freaky Deep Day', now is the time for a proper vinyl release.

Chains' defines what a house music piece should be. A solid funky groove, a fat bassline, subtle jazz arrangements and a catchy black voice, resulting into a catharsis of pure adrenaline and black sweat. The first remix comes by Matt McLarrie (Material Series, Younan) who has added a good dose of groove to the
already epic original track, obtaining a massive peak time bomb.

When we flip the vinyl, we find a superb remix by Dave Pad (Highway, Plastic City) who comes back to Cyanide, after his huge successful rework of Queemose Promise'. This time, Dave has joined his buddy Anjei, to delight us with a crispy piece of deep house, with a playful bassline and a subtle and elegant acid touch.

The icing on the cake, comes by the Spanish young talent Keepin' Soul (Pocket Money)...who has made an analog and raw dub version of Chains. So deep and fat that it hurts.

REPRESSED !
Bristol based producers Behling & Simpson take on remixing some Kerri Chandler classics this August with the 'Heaven' EP, set to drop via Kerri's very own Madhouse Records
imprint.

Madhouse Records boss Kerri Chandler needs no introduction having been one of the most prominent names in underground house music for over two decades now. While rising talents Behling & Simpson's collective output has been championed by the likes of Claude von Stroke, Derrick Carter, Ralph Lawson, Modeselektor and many more over the pairs 100+ previous releases between them (under various guises), this stands as testament to their undeniable ability to craft forward-thinking electronic music.

First up on the release we have 'Heaven' featuring Christopher McCray on vocal duties, Behling & Simpson's prevalent low-slung, dropped tempo rhythms take the lead, alongside hypnotic lowend tones, while the duo capture Chandler's warm musicality with style utilizing the original's bright chord progressions and smooth vocal licks, creating an intricate, intelligent slice of house. 'Peace Of My Mind' follows on the flip side, a track originally released on Madhouse in 2011, though returning to the label in 2014 with an intriguing reshape courtesy of the Behling & Simpson, again taking on the pair's niche slo-mo feel, setting the tone and radiantly showcasing why their sound stands tall above many of their
contemporaries in such an effortlessly cool way.

Alleviated Records is proud to present the DONNIE TEMPO EP re-issue. Darren Brandon, producer behind artists such as Nature Love (Night Life Collective), Knu Je' (Distant Music) and Club Ice (Black Market International/MCA) and DJ Quad gives us this 3-track ep. Deeper house-music enthusiasts who are into the HISTORICAL facts and aspects behind the music will find much interest in the selection MENTAL PROBLEM on this EP. Mental Problem has it's own special place in the history of Chicago and the development of this music that the whole globe now enjoys. There were many dance tracks that were EXCLUSIVE to the dance floors of clubs in Chicago that were never released as commercial recordings, well - not until this issue of this very DEEP and ENERGETIC selection that embodies elements of ACID, DEEP and TRIBAL dance cuts. Enjoy!

It doesn't get any deeper than this! A classic, overlooked EP from Wayne Gardiner aka Classic Man from 1993 on the legendary Nervous Records label, "No More Mind Games" is up there with the classics of it's era. That sparse, jazzy, soulful, early 90's NYC edge is present in all the tracks here and the whole EP is solid from start to finish, all killer, no filler!

Kicking things off, "Rapid Winds" is a vibe heavy, pad laden beauty that rolls along gently and touches all the right spots while the following 2 mixes of "Keepin On" chop up D-Train and Raw Silk vocal snippets into a bouncing organ driven banger, keeping the Disco spirit alive in true Garage fashion! Rounding out the EP is 2 storming alternate mixes of "No More Mind Games", built around a vocal sample lifted from the accapella version of Quests classic "Mind Games", used here to devastating effect alongside Gardiners deep vibes and choppy drums. Serious business.

"No More Mind Games" has long been a sought after EP by discerning House lovers and is a true underground classic.
Re-mastered and re-pressed here, for the first time, in conjunction with Nervous Records, NYC. Now's your chance to own a copy of a forgotten club classic from the golden era of NYC House music.

INCL. LOSOUL & NORM TALLEY RMXS

VEX, DMO In anticipation of the forthcoming 'Function - Recompiled' package, due out towards the end of the year, Infrastructure presents VEX/DMO, three tracks from two of David Sumner's lesser known alter-egos. Produced between '98 and '99, the tracks were originally released separately on 2 different 12's, and now come together, re-mastered on INF-014. 'VEX-1' is Sumner's rightful slice of historic Brooklyn House pie, amongst contemporaries like Joey Beltram, or the output of labels like Nu-Groove. Made while living and working at the now infamous music building in Manhattan, with synthesiser mecca Rouge Music downstairs, the track is a great insight into what was going at the Inanimate Objects studio during that time.
The DMO sessions were a nod to the more spaced out, string laden Deep House that resonated out of Chicago towards New York, but was also readily available at clubs like Shelter. Both 'Fifteen' and 'Movement' have capture a certain dreamlike quality, and offer a rare chance to hear another side of the producer we now know best as Function. The record received heavy support from the likes of Timmy Regisford, who made it a Shelter classic, playing it every Saturday at the club for four years. The original pressing was also one of legendary East Village record store Dancetrax's biggest selling 12's of that era. Now some 15 years later, it's re-mastered from the original DAT sessions and graces the entire B side of INF-014.

After serving up some killer original tracks from Obrotka, Abstract Music now enlists the services
of Nikola Gala and Jay Bliss to rework one of the standout cuts. The results, invariably, are
excellent.

Obotka has been active since the 90s, has played almost every decent club in the world and
because of his excellent discography taking in labels like Underground Records, Abstract Music
and Wasabi is a revered part of the global dance community.

First to remix his 'Who Needs Enemies' cut is Romanian 2020 Vision and All Inn records
associate Jay Bliss. He flips the track into a deep, rubbery house groover with muted neon
chords & crisp percussion. It's a no nonsense affair with infectious and icy hi hats that really get
under your skin.

Next up, Nikola Gala is a prolific producer whose impeccably produced tracks have become big
releases for Ibadan Records, Rekids, Freerange Records and Plastic City. He serves up two
remixes, the first of which is a Dubby Mix of 'Who Needs Enemies.' Stripping things back to an
essential, locked on groove, hunched drums, rolling hits and frazzled synth lines all make for a
seductive track that is warm and organic in all the right ways.

Finally, Gala turns out a Techy Mix of the same track that is much quicker, more urgent and
banging. Metallic chords, grinding bass and indecipherable vocal cries all characterise this more
physical version and it will bang in clubs as a result.

All three remixes here offer something slightly different, but something equally essential, for all
the real DJs out there.

Detroit's Dnaut label chief, Craig Sherrad, arrives with a fresh release split between chunky, funky downtempo, beatdown flavors, and crispy, techy, Detroit House.

The Delsin c-series welcomes Sawlin for a new EP that finds him in a housier mood than you might expect. After EPs on Ann Aimee, Vault Series and Code Is Law, he has become known as a techno producer, but this proves he can do much more. Opener 'Motion Keeper' is a deep underground affair with swirling pads adding scale to the heavy, churning drums. It's soaked in ethereal pads and will suck you right in when played on a large sound system. 'Easiness Supplier' gets a little more trippy, with mastery synth droplets dancing about above busted, frazzled drum loops. It's edgy and tense builds to a seriously weighty groove over time. Last of all, 'Wired Evening' is a dark, gritty dubbed out house cut with snaking hi hats, gurgling synths and menace in the air. This is shadowy and physical house music at its finest.

Each vinyl release is accompanied by artwork designed by Argentinian graphic talent Gisela Faure.GET SLOW founder Deep Mariano begins the release with 'From Machines To Jungle', a percussive roller fuelled by a sultry bassline and hypnotising atmospherics. One + 1 and Camilo Gil then demonstrate intricate drums and looped pads as subtle vocal samples mutter in 'Bitch Call' before Funk E & Bodeler introduce glitchy nuances and trippy atmospherics in 'Playa Den Bolsa'. Tying things together, Buenos Aires' Ronan Portela incorporates a little more thud whilst soothing synths operate in 'Changing Minds'
