Limited editon for this 12 that compiles different hidden gems from Aybee in his different projects like Orion 70 or working with the vocalist Omega or Dozie. Technosoul in the best way.

Spanish DJ & producer, Eduardo De La Calle, has continued to explore the outer limits of the electronic palette since his Cadenza Records debut back in 2013, clocking up stellar releases for the likes of Mule Musiq, Hivern Discs, Be As One and Nonplus over the last couple of years. Eduardo returns to Cadenza in February with the 'Anima Animus' single, coupling two tracks of refined techno for your listening pleasure. Taking inspiration from the psychologist/philosopher Carl Jung's concept of anima and animus (and do take the time to explore this), Eduardo marries arpeggiated synths and melodic chords with a soft kick and tantalizing hats, producing a slick piece of reflective techno that's alive with melody and groove. On 'North Pole', we get more of the signature 'De La Calle' sound; subaquatic bass and searing, melancholic strings play out over a steady mechanical beat, nodding its head not only to the Detroit masters but also to the European New Wave sounds that influenced the Motor City artists in the first instance. Another assured single release from Eduardo that will further solidify his place in the current electronic music landscape.

Underground hero LD Nero debuts on the debut of the anything-goes outfit Misfit Melodies. Tried and tested Nero deepness melts with his rave alter ego and beloved non-conformity. A more traditional deep house approach is featured on the flip with a Gerd Janson & Lopazz remix, while the blue-eyed dub reggae take of Bad Cop Bad Cop serves as the digestive.

Lo Shea continues his series of 10 vinyl only releases on Seaghdha with another 3 tracker which once more covers a lot of ground.

From the garage tinged house of Remember Them Times to Black jazz Consortium esque Alice via an afro-funk inspired Dr Diamond.
With more and more heavyweight support on each release, Seaghdha is now beginning to make a real impression from the Uk to Europe and Detroit....and with Rinse Fm support from XXXY, Braiden regularly playing Lo Shea tracks on NTS and kingpins like Boddika and Blawan playing his records, as well as Harry Klein residents Ana and Kid Chic...not to mention Berlins infamous Club Der Visionaere resident Topper who's also hammering the tracks! ...the future looks brighter every day from the Sheffield warehousing agitator...Lo Shea.

Wilson records is back with a branding 'spanking' new, special printed-screen edition celebrating label head, Fabio Monesi's first solo EP. The succession of the label and Fabio's sound has been ever so apparent. A manifestation into something much more darker and refined, something represented crystal clear in the riveting rhythms of the A side with 'Gotta Blaser' & 'Djago'. On the flip, the B side is a declaration of love, if you will, to the mother of it all; Chicago's house music.

Mile High Records presents a new EP from the Rawthenticity label boss : Fulbert !
Mastered by Matt Colton, this release clearly demonstrates a new direction in his productions, from twisted analog experiments to raw and dusty grooves.

A second utterance emerges from the tomb of DJ ICE TITS! Who was this ancient priest of Memphis whose sarcophagus lies entombed within the Metaphasic Pyramid, inscribed with the Analogue Hieroglyph These five recently discovered FM transmissions from the underworld, entitled "Songs about Myrtle Avenue," may contain the key to this mystery.

Anthony Nicholson definatively is a true Master and a permanent part of the history of the deep House scene around the globe. It's been quite a while since his last 12''. This nice piece of heaven was produced during the hot 2013 summer - check!!

Out of all the twelves by MN on Jamal Moss' Mathematics label, maybe the most outstanding goes under the name Ra Toth — and true to form this is double-sided trumps for BH, slapping together bad-minded, cosmic jazz and banging, bruk-up disco. The A sounds like a young Pete Rock giving Theo a hand with some Dirty Edits; the flip like a blend of evilous Arkestra and prime Innerzone Orchestra.

As we draw proceedings to a close with Part 3 Last Supplement - we take a moment to reflect back on what Nathaniel X has meant not just to us at Undertones, but the entire culture of deep house as a whole. This is not the end - it's merely the closing of one chapter and a transition into the next.

da Engberg describes 'Collage' like so, 'Not many things in life beat the true experience of the perfect party. That definitive moment when location, music and people all come together in the same place to create that perfect shared experience. It's about that vibe that can only exist when all those components work together in perfect harmony. For me, dj'ing is exactly the same, trying to re-create that experience time and again. Similarly, this compilation is all about that - bringing interesting elements together. I have invited producers that envoke that magic within me. They have all touched my soul. Great music is just like happiness, its only real when shared.'

Ida Engberg's 'Burn Out' uses funky percussion to create an exceptional groove that is laced with synth sweeps before a detuned synth tunnels through the record. Mark Fanciulli's contribution 'Back to Front' incorporates vocal phrases and undertones of a melodic bass line to create a track that is functionally creative.

King Cheetah is new shining star from the Motor City. The new release is 3 tracks inspired from techno vinyl digging in the late 90s. A time when music was a lot more simple and focused on a vibe through the use hardware limitations. Though, its King Cheetah's first official release, he has been making music for over 20 years in seclusion on the West side of Detroit. Finally, after almost a year of negotiation, we've struck a chord and are able to present this release!

We also celebrate the first release of Light Body Works. Light Body Works is a music label who doesn't claim any city as its own since its irrelevant these days. The intention is to release club music that both induces hypnotic states through repeating melodic movements and straight rhythm patterns.

Delft is delivering more sick acid tunes! This time its Delft's chief LA-4A on duty and giving us some advanced modern acid jackers. We cant get enough of some good old traditional tracks, but its always extra exciting to hear someone who can give it a new contemporary twist. 4th release on Delft records and from the first release (cat-000) its spot on! Recommended.

Mathias 'SHOW-B' Schober makes his Pooledmusic debut with the Arps EP. A talented producer & engineer, Schober has been releasing under his SHOW-B alias since 2007, since when he has had EP releases on Poker Flat & Compost Black Label, an exclusive track featured on La Fleur's Watergate 16 compilation, and a release on Delusions of Grandeur with Milton Jackson as Pattern Select. The Arps EP sees SHOW-B blending his various talents in the A side 'Arps To Heaven', a heady deep house track with a swirling melody that recalls the trippier end of Strength Music and Deepblak's respective outputs. On the B1, Ian Pooley follows up his huge Innervisions EP 'Floris' and the Rejected re-issue of his anthem Chord Memory by fusing the original's psychedelic elements with a classic, irresistible Pooley groove. The B2, 'Isifuba', sees Schober focusing on a swinging house beat structure for the early hours dancefloors.

clear vinyl pressing!
Soundtravels Recordings proudly presents "Point Of View Part 1". We have compiled six contemporary, electronic bombs from artists all around Europe.

For some we didn't have to travel that far though...

The Hagues Baz Reznik provided us with "Nightdrive To Stuttgart", a moody, sinister track with that typical raw Reznik sound and a melody that will stick in your head for days after you first heard it.

Amsterdam based Arctic Boogie boss Endfest came up with another killer, "Von Heijden En Verre". Almost ten minutes filled with frosty synths and arctic melodies, accompanied by an ever present, very sophisticated 303 which peaks halfway the track, shivers!

Our last, but not least, Dutch contributor is Rotterdam based Louis Guilliaume who you might know from several straight forward techno releases on various quality underground labels. "Promiscues" is a rough edged, energetic track which fits somewhere between Detroit techno and Dutch Westcoast elektronica. At the end of 2013 he will release the "Unknown Forces EP" on Soundtravels.

Okay, now we fly all the way over to Croatia for Le Chocolate Noir with "Futu.e Is B.ight". A short but powerful EBM track with vocals from the man himself. Dark industrial mechanics accompanied by a threathening bassline, but no need to worry... cause Futu.e is B.ight! In 2014 he will release his first EP on Soundtravels.

Next stop... Düsseldorf. After discovering Dircsen's tracks we definitely had to have him on board. The first result of that can be heard on his astonishing "Aspiration EP" (Soundtravels 003). This guy keeps on producing his solid, high quality electronics and shows us his love for the TB 303 machine in a brilliant way. "Exist" is actually a downtempo dubtechno track but off course it has a fierce 303 all over it. Timeless again. Early 2014 his second EP named "Acid Wheel EP" will be a fact.

New to our family is the Russian Neotnas. He makes his first appearance with "Rewind". Typical for his sound is that warm, organic feel all over his house and dubtechno productions. Very often accompanied by female vocals and it's almost like you hear somebody play a live instrument if you listen carefully. At the end of 2013 he will release his "Slow & Steady EP".

repressed !

Mojuba is proud to bring you Sven Weisemann's new EP called Interlace Jitter. Packed with four new tracks delivering Sves'r very own trademark sound! The title track is a pumping dancefloor jam, while Sparkling will take you to poignant broken IDM scapes. The flipside features Motion Capture a DJ weapon causing both dancing feet and heartwarming feelings, it's accompanied by a complementary beat version.

Martin's Escape From South Warren LP will arrive on October 5th on the label operated by Frank Juncaj, AKA DJ 3000. Juncaj calls Martin an "unsung hero of Detroit techno" and cites his label, Teknotika Records, which has been running since 1993, as a key influence. The first remix EP, due out September 21st, features reworks by Robert Hood and DJ 3000 in addition to two original cuts. Mark Broom and Rolando contribute to the second EP, which arrives on October 12th.

Not all dance-floors are created equal. Some of them challenge the status-quo and require a certain kind of music. Introducing The Model's brand new Warehouse Traxx Pt.5 record - high-precision slamming beats. Crossing genres, with a great chance to become a modern classic.

Well, well ,well !

Our Teutonic chums come through once again with the secret selections you vinyl-junkies love to love !

House Master Boyz get ripped up, but this ain't Chicago and it ain't 1986 ! That classic Acid House refrain gets welded onto some distinctly brand new / retro sonics, an acid laced behemoth that's equal parts New Beat and strobe-lit proto House. Timeless & powerful floor food, and as such; equally at home in some Erol Alkan piloted stadium as it is in a stinky basement.

A quick flip and the JJ Jam swaps the faithful homage we found next door for a futuristic steppers workout. Roughly hewn stabs underpinned by some rib cage rattling low end registers

Last year's 'Precursors' EP from Eduardo De La Calle provided quite a curveball release for Cadenza Records, the Spanish DJ and producer who has recorded exclusively for his Analogue Solutions label in the past, turned out a warm and minimal release for Luciano's imprint, with all the flair and trademarks of Eduardo's studio prowess. Really though, Eduardo's approach to electronic music perfectly encapsulates the sound ethics of Cadenza; emotive, driving, long passages of deep rhythm, often focusing on the bare essentials of a track and enunciating these for an aural joyride. And so on his follow up, 'The Motorglider EP', Eduardo aims straight at the emotive jugular on opener 'Somewhere In Your Arms'. From its dusty opening bars, the track opens up with heart tugging melodies and pitch bending synths, the machines tweaking and turning whilst the micro grooves underpin a most wonderful track, oozing sheer class from a producer really finding his niche here. On the flip, 'Altar De Sacrificio' goes fathoms deep, coming across like some John Carpenter film score, the heavy arped bass-line creating a real dense mood, only to be broken by dramatic and melancholic stabs. 'Broken Bonus' wraps up a highly memorable release; filtering drums and blankets of lush pads and faint keys condensed into a simple 2:30 skit.

We Make Releaseinfo After the glorious release of his first studio album 'Disconnect to Connect' in 2013, Steven Tang is back with another lovely package of Hitec-Soul. Inspired by his new residency in Berlin the Chicago-native builds up three highly grooving sound seducers which will be part of his live set at Panorama Bar on May 31st . Join Steven Tang at leaving the physical world!

On Uncanny Valley's catalogue number 18 we finally welcome back Credit 00 who is a man in charge of a decent collection of those dusty machines we all love. After the ice cold "The Living Room Life EP" from 2012, his brand new record "Ice Cream" is easy to fall in love with. Packed with tunes to suit various moods in life, it will be a faithful companion in dark basements or lonesome hours. "Ice Cream" starts deliciously with its sleazy sample choice. With the distinctive drum work it builds up to a true Chicago-inspired dance floor banger. "Round n Round" hits hard with a harsh kick and cowbell action before it shows off slightly melancholic lead synths and a subtle but effective bass line and puts the emphasis on the fact that things go round and round. Life's a dizzy affair. "East Of Nowhere" with THAT bass line-sound is Credit 00 to the core. And with spooky synths he puts you to an east of nowhere-place where you will lose yourself in manic trance-like dancing. The record ends with "Red Wine", a slightly different electronic love song sung by Credit 00. The cover artwork was created by Alexander Dorn.

* Brooklyn newcomer J. Albert preps his long awaited solo debut for Australian label Cult Trip.
* His first offering: 'Vertigo Contracto', a cut-throat late night jam, showcases an onslaught of violent stabs which override
intricate hi -hat work and a menacing kick.

Spencer Parker's ever reliable Work Them imprint unleash the remixes of Radio Slave's "Werk" track from label stalwart Sven Von Thülen as well as stand out mixes from London's own Dan Beaumont and White Materials DJ Richard.
