After seven years and 11 releases on labels like Slices of Life and Daniel Bell's Elevate outpost, Berlin producer Baaz is ready to reveal his first full-length effort. His 10-track LP, Red Souvenirs, is set to drop on 24th of November via the beatmaker's own Office Recordings, which makes it the fourth release from the imprint after a record from Christopher Rau and two EPs from Baaz himself.
There's no overarching concept behind the album, nor any grandiose statements or artistic messages. Rather, Red Souvenirs captures flashes of Baaz's moods and translates them into vibes that are communicated via hypnotic grooves, crisp beats, and astral synths. The tracks, which he made between 2010 and 2014, span the genres that have attracted Baaz the most over the years, from snappy house beats to narcotic dub techno and psychedelic hip-hop. Album opener 'Everyone' is a mostly ambient tune peppered with glittering synth pricks, gentle rhythmic tick-tocks, and extended synth pads, while tracks like 'Endori' and 'Closed' are snappy deep house workouts with quiet, screwed-down vocal samples. 'Spacehub' and 'Pressyn,' on the other hand, explore languid hip-hop instrumentals embellished with zaps and long, gliding chords that hold for minutes on end. But no matter what form his productions take, Baaz's emphasis on enveloping rhythms, bubbling melodies, and relaxed atmospherics remains.

ItaloJohnson's first release in 2012 breaks the standards of the classic 12- inch model with two tracks representing a double A-side on a 10-inch vinyl. This is the first release that's branded with the ItalioJohnson logo so grab it while it's hot because stickered copies are limited to 500 vinyl.
The stamped side blows you away with a solid bassline powerful enough to light your ass on fire. Unique FX-sounds, an explicit arrangement and sharp drumming pull the track together.
The flip side provides you with proper house music as the vigorous, repetitive vocal-stabs, a Hells Bells Bass and the fearless 707 drums flow into ItaloJohnson's trademark sound.

Amazing stories propose a various artists for his debut release!
Riccardo, Saverio Celestri, Markus Sommer and Filippo Bena are the protagonists of this new one, don't miss it!

Sixth record from danish NORD Records is out now. NORD005 is an EP made by Bookworms containing four hypnotic tracks.

On Colonial Patterns, Brian Leeds (Huerco S) treats his Kansas City region as a universe worthy of its own electronic music.To that end, Leeds deconstructs Midwestern techno and house tropes. The pieces are corrugated, rough, and decompositional. Working cheaply, Leeds conscientiously uses low-end software, synths and cassettes so as to subvert the gloss of so much urban dance music, giving tracks an impressionistic, emotive feel.
Colonial Patterns shares Jon Hassell's hybridized experiments in percussive ambience, as well as William Basinski's strobing melancholia. When tracks subtly veer into house/techno territories, they mirror the no frills dance mechanics of Midwest figureheads Ron Hardy, Omar S and Theo Parrish.
Most exemplary of this sonic architecture are "Struck With Deer Lungs" and "Angel (Phase)." Both layer subtle rhythmic pulses with broader strokes of deep sustain, creating a pair of intro/outro signals that shape the album's whole sequence and function as main supports to the album's busier core. Bass heavy, Detroit techno leaning "'linzhiid" and "Quiviria" deliver foreboding standouts with snappy economy.
Stripped of pop devices, discarding utopian delusions, Colonial Patterns is electronic music for the open prairie. Inherently inhabitable, yet strangely dispeopled, it's a fitting universe for this otherworldly debut.

Next up Creme Organization is a return by regular artist Lake Haze. Following his Natural Insight EP earlier in the year comes Intergalactic Communicationz, four more fresh tracks of acid, techno and electro that is brilliantly evocative. The Portuguese artist known as Goncalo Salgado also please son labels like Unknown to the Unknown and is a real hardware master. At The Gates ov Futron is a turbulent lack track with zipping acid and a cacophony of percussion that is visceral as well as cinematic. Drexciyan Aquarium is, as the name suggest, an aqueous electro track that slithers and slides through an expansive underwater world. Poseidon's Dream then offers a more rugged electro groove that is backed by heavenly pads and a real sense of loss in the synths. Last of all, Intergalactic Communication closes out this far travelling and intergalactic EP with a sci-fi deep house track that is filled with light, 909s and a sense that the end of the world is coming.

Mystic Deepness only for the aficionados.

Official reissue of some ultra rare electro tracks produced by Anthony "Shake" Shakir. Raw Detroit electro with a nod to Miami bass!

Breakthrough artist Mihail P's debut presents two stunning original tracks alongside mixes by young Hungarian wizard Gnork and the label's own Hutton Drive aka Domenic Cappello, also of Glasgow's fabled Sub Club.

A year after their impressive last album Burn It Down, Detroit techno legends Octave One are back with a nine track double EP that again shows they are masters of big hypnotic grooves.

Entitled Love by Machine, the album's name is a nod to the fact that the Burden brothers are such revered masters of their hardware. Both in the studio, where they cook up atmospheric house and techno with soaring synths and vocals and also in the live arena, where they are celebrated as one of the most accomplished and forward thinking performers in the game today. That is all the more impressive when you bear in mind they have been active since the '80s, most often releasing on their own 430 West label, which is where they appear again here.

Say Lenny: We've been exploring the theme of connection with this project. How technology gives us the illusion that we are closer to each other more than ever. At some point humanity crossed a line where the devices that we created to bring us together are the same devices that are blocking us from organic experiences.'

Technology is only a tool, which we also had in mind during the recording process.' Adds Lawrence. We decided to go back to how we used to make our records, when we didn't have so many 'sophisticated' audio devices. Back to when we interacted in the studio together as musicians.'

Things open up with the loose metallic percussive line that is In Mono, which sets the machine made tone and is filled with promise. Locator then immediately gets to action with a gallivanting techno kick and various synth lines wrapping round each other as you get sucked into the groove. Just Don't Speak (Midnight Sun Redub) is a more deep and house leaning track with big feel good piano keys and slithering synths that will get hands in the air. Proving they have real range, 7 B4 Dawn is a moody and reserved cut with subtle acid pricks, hip swinging claps and a spaced out dead of night feel.


The second half of the album offers peak time business in the form of the spectacular Bad Love II, the whirring and cosmic Sounds of Jericho and the big loops and fluid grooves of (Where) Time Collides. Pain Pressure is a wonky number with big bassline and a focus on percussive patterns as well as some vocals with real attitude and last cut 8 B4 Dawn ends things in a downbeat and sombre way with sad chords and emotive strings. It is pure Detroit, much like the whole album, and rounds out another fine release from these most revered veterans.

Roman Flügel "I think the first 5 tracks of the album are simply fantastic"

New Andres 12'' debut on his own label La Vida. Andres is one that really needs no introduction, but for those unfamiliar here it is: Andres, aka DJ Dez, is one of Detroit's unsung heros of underground music. Since the late 90's Andres has built up an extremely respectable catalog of that blurs the boundaries between genres, most notably his records on KDJ and Mahogani Music. Not to forget, DJ Dez is also Slum Village's DJ, has recorded many hip hop instrumental on Hipnotech Records, and his hand is on countless other Detroit records. Definitely one of the most consistent producers we've got here whose music can be summed up in one word: Quality!

Californiabased producer Damon Bell could not find a more suitable home for his new 12' than Croatian label Burek. It's his first one since Blues For The Libyan' LP released in 2015. for Deepblak, and it sounds as if the time off was well spent. Two words that perfectly describe this record are rich' and colourful', and the description is equally applicable to all three cuts. Stand By Me' is a synthheavy piece built around the interplay between track's rougher sounds and big lush pads. On the flipside, Life' is slightly faster and more direct, with a wonderful guitar part that circles around the main theme throughout the most of the track. Similarly mannered, but slightly more intense TransAtlantic Journey We Been Here!' is the last piece and features an infectious groove with lead synth piercing through layers of delicate arpeggios playing in the background. All in all, it feels good to have Damon in the team. We hope you'll enjoy this record

A young DJ/producer from Brooklyn (Deep Explorer, Finale Sessions) pushing the line where deep house and techno join in emotive rawness. A deep moody selection of movements that suit any occasion as the vibe grows & culminates.

Following on from Anetha's 'Ophiuchus' EP last year, Work Them Records founder Spencer Parker has compiled a remix package featuring himself and French techno stalwart Antigone.
A key component in the thriving Parisian techno scene, Anetha is a resident at monthly party series BLOCAUS.
Spencer reworks 'Drive With A Dead Girl', incorporating punchy kicks and shuffling hats before the original's
mesmerising arpeggios come into effect.
On the other hand Antigone distorts 'Black Widow' beyond recognition by blending fuzzy atmospherics with a cavernous
808 and glitchy hook.
Concluding the release is a bonus track from Anetha herself titled 'Traces To Nowhere' with its gloomy pads and squelchy melodies. DJ Support:
Matt Edwards (Radio Slave)
Marcel Dettmann
Rodhåd (Dystopian / Other Heights / Semantica / Berlin)

Ben Klock (Berghain / B-Pitch / Memo / Ostgut Ton)

Rick Wilhite delivers this super strong collection of tracks made by producers coming from either New York, Chicago or Detroit. This is part 1 in a 2 volume album.
As a DJ and promoter Wilhite has been holding it down for over twenty years, and his 'Vibes New & Rare music' record store has been a main source in Detroit for soulful electronic music until its closure. The 'Vibes New & Rare music' compilation only features material that Rick Wilhite truly believes to represent the artists. After releasing Part 1 in 2010, Wilhite now delivers the sequel, featuring pioneers and new talents alike from New York, Chicago and Detroit.

Lost Trax drops the first release of 2017 on Subwax label "Emotions Electric", 3 fiercesome Detroit tracks of the highest order. Limited copies...

You can't stop DEETROIT. Back again with his (her/their) third 12" on UNKNOWN DEETROIT featuring 4 deep and dirty house and techno cuts with a taste of acid: "U FEEL IT", "DEEVIANTS", "DEETROIT CONSPIRACY" and "FLOW". “Apparently inspired by three weeks of internet speculation spawned by a simple question as to the true identity of DEETROIT. 250+ comments on Facebook later and UNKNOWN DEETROIT followers explain that it simple does not matter! Again it’s all about the music and that music is deep house and / or techno! Long Live UDR!†Hand stamped white labels. Gonna be big bitches!

Dutch producer Nathan Surreal debuts on Biologic Records with Star Dust featuring remixes from Adesse Versions and Neville Watson. Exploring abstract, surreal and melodic electronic sounds, the Dutchman is a perfect addition to the Biologic roster. Appearing on a host of underground labels since 2014, Nathan is set to make a breakthrough with Star Dust' Balancing on the edge of reality and pushing further into the abstract and surreal worlds Star Dust unfolds through waving synths and dubby bass lines. $$$ is a darker track, the bassline punchier and driving acid-tinged synths create a dance-floor ready record. Next up Human Music has a more minimal introduction, building in intensity as the synths come through until finally the melody drops, maintaining the dreamy top line that Nathan is so adept at maintaining. Neville Watson provides the first remix on the EP, he adds reverb to the vocal, amplifying its effect on the track. Star Dust is intensified, perfect for late night, or early morning, dance floors. Addesse Versions remix of Star Dust is a twisted acid remake, a left-field and off kilter beat is slowed down to a psychedelic swirl, pulsating throughout the track.

This release from UKNOWN DEETROIT comes pressed on red vinyl and is limited to only 666 copies. Featuring 6 tracks, including one with backwards music, this is sure to appeal to fans of his/her/their past 12"s. Hand stamped white...

Another recent masterpiece from the rising Barcelona label 'Modern Obscure Music'. This time the label is introducing a 12'' with two long lasting analogue Jams made from synthesizers like Moog Voyager and the mythical Juno 80 on abstract rhythms created with a powerful Roland 909. This is an essential record for collectors of relics focused on the Club. To the mysterious, exotic and even tribal vibe, the record label adds a remix by Daniel Martin-McCormick, best known as Ital, who has recently published his 3rd album
with Mike Paradinas (Planet Mu) apart from also presenting some pieces from his own record company Lover's Rock or in the prestigious Workshop house. Remixes by JMII and Pettre, Aster's ex-band components, are also added in the digital version of it.

After his debut 12" on FREERANGE in '13, KITO JEMPERE (SAINT PETERSBURG DISCO SPIN CLUB) releases this sampler from his forthcoming album out on his own FATA MORGANA label.

5 track EP of chunky, percussive dance tracks including a hypnotizing
house remix by JUJU & JORDASH. Mastered by KUNIYUKI TAKAHASHI.


KITO JEMPERE (also known as SAINT PETERSBURG DISCO SPIN CLUB) has released tracks on TEARDROP, TUSK WAX, WHAT'S IN THE BOX,
GLENVIEW and others.

Ramona happily announces Benjamin Milz' first full-grown EP. Being made by a Frankfurt kid with a mature sound signature, "Basic Motions" nods towards what once was and what could be one day.

Following his bomb 'Booty Jazz' EP released under the Jupiter Jazz moniker alongside label boss Maceo Plex, Miami's finest Danny Daze goes solo to release 'The Calm' - two original cuts of deep dark house with a stellar remix from Dutch producer Dexter.
Title track 'The Calm' opens with a deep pulsating heart, beating and building as sweeping waves of trippy FX roll in and out with doubled up and slightly deranged vocals dominating the atmosphere. Swelling steadily with powerful synth lines and rhythm the track drops dramatically, kicking into a tight rolling groove that rides through the depth and layers.
Picking up the pace class-A producer and remixer Dexter takes the reins to spin his techno twist onto 'The Calm'. Making music since the mid 90s and with huge releases on the likes on Rush Hour and Clone, the Dutchman is a welcome addition to the Ellum Audio catalogue. Thriving with drive and energy his remix is an essential DJ weapon for any peak time affair.Rounding off the package 'I See You There' is the second original track on offer from Mr. Daze. Continuing in the same vein as 'The Calm' the track builds moodily with epic synths, industrial stabs and haunting vocals. Taking a turn it drops into a powerful dance floor bomb with deep, warm keys that beautifully carry the melody.
Already flying high in the game and with a hectic tour schedule lined up and a Radio 1 Essential Mix in the pipeline for this summer. 2013 looks set to be a big one for wonder boy Danny Daze.

The Deewees say... Five years ago we met Emmanuelle in an office in Milano. For years we asked her to play us some of the music she'd been making on her laptop in her bedroom. When DEEWEE was built we invited the Rio born / Miami raised / Milano based artist to make some music together. This is the first of many things we've done so far...'

Volume 6 of the sought-after series FROM CHICAGO TO DETROIT compiled by JORDAN FIELDS. The A side kicks off with "MOONMAN'S RETURN" and a full 12" version of "THE RUNNER" from BOO WILLIAMS. Side B features tracks from STEVE FRISCO, MORGAN ALEXANDER and GILES DICKERSON. Be quick on this one!

A Sagittariun continues to release primarily on his own Elastic Dreams label, and 'The Magick Box' EP features four tracks that come nearly 12 months on from the uncompromising techno of the 'Contortion'/'Concrete Walls' single and the second full length album odyssey, 'Elasticity'. Taking in pacey techno cuts 'Curviture' and 'Kobalt', cruising electro vibes on 'Floating On Salt Water' and wigged out industrial funk on 'Bleepanomix', once again 'The Archer' delivers a varied collection of new tracks on the EP. Vital Sales Points: - Previous singles on Secretsundaze, Hypercolour and Elastic Dreams were very well received - A Sagittariun's second album, 'Elasticity', was released in April 2016 to glowing reviews and polled in the Mojo Magazine Top 5 Electronic Albums Of The Year

Here we present Good Vibrations, the debut EP on Local Talk from Canadian producer Orazio Fantini.
The best thing with this EP is that it's simply straight up house music that is both deep yet raw and funky all at the same time.
Basically, its very Local Talk ;)
First track 'To The Ball' starts off with a bubbling bass line, followed with shuffling hi-hats and swinging beat that's glued together by glistering synth stabs, infectious to say the least. Turn the record over for 'Feel it' which showcases Fantini's clever use of vocal samples blended together with the perfect swing and last not but not least, 'On Hold' is a stripped track but with all the necessary elements to make the feet move.

More space age melancholic sounds for the second instalment of the Craigie Knowes Universal Broadcast series. Electro to Techno across 4 celestial beats.

Roberto Bosco delivers his debut for ART. A double pack of serene dub influenced Techno including elements of tribal percussion layerd over hypnotic extended arrangements. After esteemed releases on Mowar, Wave, Falkplatz and more - Bosco brings the unique flavour of southern Italian Techno via Berlin.

Here we have VOLUME 2 of the FROM CHICAGO TO DETROIT series. This 5 tracker contains unreleased 90's grooves by LARRY HEARD & GARI ROMALIS who opened for DERRICK MAY at the legendary MUSIC INSTITUTE! The B Side features CHI-TOWNS very own GENE HUNT & AFRICAN WITH MAINFRAMES. Limited copies!

Asymmetrical code is the evolution of what is known as techno today. The "Code" or song, takes you on a journey to the future of the past where you can find an alternate "you" through contemporary realities and soundwaves.
Starting in 2013 as an underground label with no public releases, the main goal of Fragmento & Tracy (Owners) was to find and collect the perfect sound, ambients, and grooves to carry you to the musical meaning of Asymmetrical Code. On this journey the listener is also accompanied by visual stimulants created by the Label, to influence or facilitate the mind to wander and build a new creativity within you.
In this opportunity we have the pleasure to introduce in the A.C.R.002.V. artists such as ENDLEC - Fragmento - Ryuji Takeuchi - Tracy&MTD.
Stay tuned for the A.C.r. 003 .V.

BOO WILLIAMS' "MOON MAN'S RETURN" sees HEADPHONIQ issue its 10th release! This track comes from the same time period as BOO's "MARS" track. JORDAN FIELD's "1986 IN THE MIX" is classic jack. HEADPHONIQ represses STEPHANE VERA's "SITBACK" & MR. FEELING's "PINK SUNSHINE" close out the EP.

Aus Music bring a summer of firsts to a close as they follow up records from the newly collared Recloose, Trevino and Paul Woolford with another new addition to the team: Tom Trago. The Rush Hour regular joins the ranks with 'Being Broke' - a bright and groovy four-track aimed straight at the dance floor of this season's closing festivals. The A side offers up an original and dub version of the title track - a bumping House groove built with playful vocal samples and nifty synth lines. On the flip are two version of 'Good Lies' - the first rolling out over its elongated duration with sharp, galloping hats and free-flowing Rhodes notes. Tension begins to develop as the track steadily snowballs gathering vocal snips and a menacing bass line while the 'Good Christian Edit' offers up a lighter, more early-doors affair bringing a nicely rounded package to a close.

After making a sunny debut on Aus back in May 2016 - Brooklyn based luminary Recloose readies his second 12 for the label and in doing so enlists the help of Mara TK of Electric Wire Hustle, Ezrakh and Son of Sound of House 2 House and Strictly Rhythm fame. His 'Spirit Knows' EP adds to a catalogue of more than 20 years - one that's touched the likes of Planet E, Rush Hour and Peacefrog and in a similar vein to 'Honey Rocks' - his latest offering comprises 3 eloquent cuts of House Music and carries with it a balmy sense of soul that fans both old and new will relish.

A Dj. since 93. A producer since 98. A true student of the music/culture. Amir founded Vanguard Sound in February 2006. After making his presence felt in the Chicago club scene via a meteoric rise culminating a Dj watch feature in Chicago's 5 magazine, he completely disappeared and went beneath the underground to focus solely on advancing his production skills.

Soon after linking up with G. Marcell and Hakim Murphy he began to release gritty tracks that have been charted and played by underground Dj's world wide. His fourth release was the sleeper classic 'Experience ep' a 4 tracker with Amir on side a, and G. Marcell on side b.

Encouraged by the feedback, Amir then submitted tracks to New York city's Plan B Recordings. The rest is history as they say.......

Recording under the name Amir Alexander and the pseudonym Guerrilla Soul! this cat strives to bring a raw and gritty modern spin on classic Detroit, Chicago, and New York underground sounds.

PRESS


Andrew Ryce (Resident Advisor)
"Dazed And Amazed" leaves me pretty Dazed & Amazed... HAR HAR HAR. Love the shuffling
garage percussion, wobbly basslines, vocal samples.. what a dreamy tune. "Everybody's
Beautiful" is the same deal, though a bit more straightforward -- but the bassline, subtly bumping
underneath the drifting beats, and those synths.. I'm melting! Acid Mix is good too, adds a little
bit of oomph but doesn't stomp all over what made the original mix so pleasant. Stellar EP.


Joshua P. Ferguson (Time Out Chicago)
Chicago love! I dug Alexander's release with Argot, and this is just further evidence that he's a
Windy City voice we should be hearing a lot more of.


Patrick Schutz (Groove, DE)
promising

Everybody's Beautiful is doing it for me, the original's a really nice warm-up track and the Acid
mix is nicely bubbling. Supporting for sure.


Seb (Mixmag)

Great atmosphere would almost rather have beatless versions of these tunes. Sure to move a
dance floor.
Paul Corey (Cacophonous Bling/ RA)
Brilliant. Thanks
Benoit C (Tusgi, FR)
coool ep

Lush and necessary dancefloor gasp-central; Amir's entryway to HypeLTD is a momentous
occasion to whichever DJ drops any of these gorgeous tunes.
Kype Hopkins (Music Supervisor at XBox/ Microsoft)
Killer. I really like this a lot. Thank you!!!
Sean Fitzmaurice (Houseurevening.com)
Loving the Detroit feel from Everybody's Beautiful, but the Acid Mix is what I'd be banging out at
peak time. Quality package all round !
SHRTSTCK (ICNT.MX)
got a super long 6 hour session at the club tonight, definitely going to hear how dazed &
amazed sounds... looks big!
Cosby (Car Crash Set)
Jeeez, another absolute winner. This single is everything you could possibly want out of a
deep house 12" in 2012. Hype LTD going from strength to strength to strength. This one is so
powerful it hurts!
