Runde vier der Flagschiff-Compilation "Selected Label Works" von Permanent Vacation. Teil 4 bei Hollywoodfilmen ist meistens die Fortsetzung, wenn Story-mäßig endgültig der falsche Weg eingeschlagen wird - vom Licht hin zu ewiger Dunkelheit. Zum Glück haben Tom Bioly und Benjamin Fröhlich, die "Big Bosse" von Permanent Vacation, funktionierende Frontscheinwerfer, um auf der hellen Seite des Weges zu bleiben, und sie haben es sogar geschafft ein paar Feuerwerke im Kofferraum dabei zu haben. Selected Label Works Teil 4 spiegelt zwei arbeitsreiche Jahre wider und kompiliert verschiedene Artist-Alben und zahlreiche tanzbare 12" Releases auf zwei heißen Compact Discs. Darunter ist zum Beispiel die irische Queen Roisin Murphy mit dem Sternen-bestäubten, langsam pumpenden "Simulation", das hier auch als Remix, der den Dancefloor zum Brennen bringt, von ihrem irischen Landsmann Mano Le Tough gefeatured wird. Außerdem mit dabei: John Talabot, Roisin Murphy, Tensnake, Parallel Dance Ensemble, Wolfram, Mano Le Tough, Pollyester, Chateau Flight, Bostro Pesopeo, Woolfy vs Projections u.v.a.

Eine Auswahl, die den facettenreichen aber niemals willkürlichen Geschmack von Permanent Vacation zeigt und beweist, dass Permanent Vacation eines der konsequentesten Indie Labels derzeit ist - mit dem Ziel fortwährend die Grenzen in verschiedene Richtungen weiter zu verschieben, von Kraut House bis verschrobenem Disco.

Rhythm Odyssey is a production alias of the one and only Dean Meredith (Chicken Lips, Goat Dance etc) here he's teamed up with Dr Dunks (Eric Duncan, Rub-n-Tug)
with a view to concocting the very finest analogue assembled proto House and modern Disco.

'Saffron' has been ripping up floors since a handful of promos surfaced before summer
In insistent piano motif powered along by beefed up but never bullying drums

'Night Addict' on the flip pitches things down and links up a bubbling acidic arpeggiator bass with dismembered vocals and light touch keys
A bouncy little palate cleanser after the spice bomb on the A

If there's one thing in this world that's certain, it's that things change.
And in the life of one dance producer with a new release on Sheffield's Shabby Doll, there have been transitions aplenty.
With a switch from garage to house, a move from Doncaster to London, and a change of identity from Ryan Aitchison to Mella Dee, his spacious four- to-the-floor sound has emerged from a state of constant flux. And yet... the more things change, the more they stay the same. 'Things Don't Change' is the name of Mella Dee's new Shabby Doll EP, and when you tune into the title track's compulsive twitch, you can hear the echo of his South Yorkshire antecedents coming through.

Could that be something like an early Warp drum rattle A Sweet Exorcist groove Maybe, maybe not.
But the influence seems even stronger on the EP's second tune, 'Ripe Traxx', with its hollow bass and four-note steel drum-like refrain.

Mella Dee has deejayed on some of the biggest stages, including Fabric, Sub Club and Tramlines, and has released on the likes of Forefront, Coyote and Sccucci Manucci, so although his other life as one half of UK garage duo Mistamen is never far away - in the crisp scattering of the high-hats, and the bass's heavy growl - the 'Things Don't Change' tracks form a house quartet that's both fresh and familiar all at the same time.

With remixes from James Welsh (who has recorded for Wall of Sound and Wolf Music) and Sheffield's Oushe (who previously remixed fellow Shabby Doll artists Gosoul), 'Things Don't Change' is a dose of c'est la vie for the soul - a reminder that while Mella Dee may be moving onwards and upwards, great house music is just great house music.
No change there.

New label SHADELEAF launches with a seriously strong release from rising talent THAT MAN MONKZ

'Burnin' Up' sees him team up with superb vocal talent D'Nae for a proper slice of raw, electronic soul
Submerged Basic Channel sonics meet uplifting keys, Disco guitar licks and a groove that won't stop with D'nae laying down one of her effortless and unique vocals

Fellow Sheffiield resident Chris Duckenfield did a scissors and tape job on Burnin' Up for personal use - bringing the tracks Techno underbelly to the fore and
riding those distinctive vocals over a more straight up arrangement. That Man Monkz loved the version so much, he insisted on including it here !

On the flip we get the wonderful 'Luv Goes Round N Round'
Heavyweight 21st century sample house that doffs its cap to the Detroit masters of the genre, but brings a little extra rough and rugged vibe to proceedings
A 12 chock full of serious jams, with more to follow
A label to keep a close eye on !

Selected DJ support:

- Kevin Griffiths - Thanks for these - White Dreams is definitely a cool jam and my pick here.
- Iron Curtis - Really nice package all round, thanks guys

10" PICTURE DISC
Detroit House legend Terrence Parker debut single -'Finally on Planet E
Features remixes from Carl Craig and Louie Vega.

THIS IS A LIMITED EDITION X 500 PICTURE DISC WITH DIFFERENT REMIXES FROM THE US EDITION

Terrence Parker is a musical multi talent that requires minimal introduction to most. Parker has achieved a discography of abundance, including both original productions and remixes that exceed the century mark. In addition to his production success, Parker travels the world over with his unparalleled turntablist DJ style. He is a true veteran of the underground house scene, both here in Detroit and beyond.

'Finally', features Reno Ka - singer, songwriter and producer. She is known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including House, R&B and Soul. Reno's alluring lyrics and sweet warble, next-to-your-eardrums vocal delivery is propelled forward by an uplifting foundation of inspired euphoric Jersey barreling keys and shimmering strings. Terrence Parkers formula of atmospheric grooves and funky synth stabs has created timeless anthems that will work on any dance floor.

Louie Vega's reworking brings something different to the original while capturing true effervescence. There's a touch of intimacy in the wobbly keys, even some Yellow Magic Orchestra-style synths in the melody. Vega also works signature Latin percussion and quirky sleigh bells into the mix. A darker more unique sound is developed in this version, all while keeping Reno Ka's beautiful vocals intact.

Carl Craig implements his developed dance driven sound throughout many versions supporting this single. Available on 12' vinyl and Digital.

Includes unmixed disc, plus a mixed disc with four exclusives and a different tracklist.
Having inevitably reached the colour Black the series now enters its tenth year with the same impact with which they began. The music is still first-rate, soulful yet provocative and as you play through the numbers you've got to say there is no sign of filler here. Opening with the Nebraska remix of Salvatore Freda's Luv Can't Hurt you get the sense of history compacted by a contemporary flair that defines the label so easily. And, as you ease into the proceeding Set Me Free by Willie Graff & Tuccillo you know you're in good company. Moving between deeper moments, Tech and Disco and most points in between the selection features the labels releases over the past year, along with some new exclusives that notably finish with Mark Hand's sublime bass-warming Don't Take It All Away. A second CD then sees everything blended neatly together for your extended listening pleasure.

After whispering the name "The Jaydes' for a few months, The Dame-Music crew
is proud to finally reveal their first single "Step On Light' on a vinyl only release.
'The Jaydes' are a collaboration between two friends and studio partners Bloody
Mary and Attan. Their first remix of Anaxander "7 Ways' on the last Dame-Music
release was a good introduction to their album, that "Step On Light' is a hint on
what is forthcoming. The album, due in February 2014 will include nine tracks and
some serious featuring artists.

Klasse Recordings is pleased to present KLSUNDERGROUND002, our second fully fledged various artists compilation. Continuing on the tradition from the first in the series, 002 calls on Klasse family members as well as a few extended friends of the label and collates a beautifully put together release.


KLSUNDERGROUND002 takes the series in a decidedly darker direction and none better typifies this than the work of Kris Wadsworth, the young Detroit native brings his A-Game with 'Rules', a swaggering and moody acid-tinged track that ticks all the boxes of his signature style.


Klasse crew members Mr. Ho and Florian Blauensteiner team up on 'Crescendo' and proving two heads are better than one, the Viennese duo turn in a mean and powerful roller of a track. Arpeggiated synths and stuttered grooves provide a sturdy backbone to a track with bucketloads of attitude.


Upcoming UK House producer Dudley Strangeways lends his hand to flawless swinging grooves and DX style bass hits with 'Kudos', a track that restlessly fidgets and mixes vibes with melancholic pads and organ stabs. 'Kudos' is sure to get feet tapping and hands clapping.


Swedish newcomer, Lemieux debuts on Klasse with 'Bass Unit'. This beautiful and haunting track takes its time and builds up a wonderful momentum, gathering speed with fully analog kicks and claps it blossoms into an unforgettable bassline drop.

The two brothers of GEBRÜDER TEICHMANN have been regular guests at the early KILLEKILL events. That's because they have a very similar approach to electronic music as we do. First of all they are deeply in love with the music itself and not the fame, the money or whatever one might expect to get when making music, and second they have a wide musical horizon and interesting perspectives on it, because they are active on several levels, as djs, musicians, promoters etc. First of all though they got class and taste, and so we are happy to present their cooperation with one of our personla heroes and one of the very big names in early house music: JOHNNY DAN- GEROUS aka FOREMOST POETS.
With many Chicago greats, Johnny is One of the inventors of The Deep House Sound through his own blend of future funk & spoken word. In 1990, he released his first underground hit single 'Reasons To Be Dismal' on Nu Groove/SBK Records. A few years later, Johnny dropped the atomic bomb 'Problem 13 (I Beat That *itch With A Bat)' in 1993 and orbited into the Dance Music Hall of Fame. Since then, the name carries great respect in the underground throughout the entire world. When Johnny's striking voice appeared on his release 'Moonraker', he set a new standard for DJs around the world.
Together with Johnny the TEICHMANNs have produced 'TIME'S ALMOST UP!', an acid house anthem that transports well the energy of Johnnys early works: funky, trippy and positive, a dance- floor with a consciousness that's rare nowadays.
LOSOUL, one of Germany's finest house producers, delivers a reduced and even more tripped out version of the original.

Following Todd Terje's incredible 2012 remix of Roxy Music's 'Love Is The Drug', Bryan Ferry has recruited some of the best producers in the world to remix his 1985 hit 'Don't Stop The Dance'.

Now released by The Vinyl Factory as a series of three super-deluxe limited editions of only 1000 copies each - with bespoke screen printed thick card sleeves housing 180-gram records mastered for vinyl by Noel Summerville at 3345 Mastering and crafted on the EMI 1400 in Hayes, Middlesex.

The track was originally the third single from the number one album Boys & Girls, and featured long-serving guest musicians Nile Rodgers, Marcus Miller, Omar Hakim, Andy Newmark and David Sanborn.

"The recording was done in various studios in London, New York and Nassau, and the whole process took about two years," recalls Bryan Ferry. "I wrote 'Don't Stop The Dance' together with my co-producer and engineer Rhett Davies, and I remember the track originating in some sessions we did at my home studio in England. We finally mixed the record with Bob Clearmountain at The Power Station studios in New York."

Isaac Ferry hand-picked the producers to Re/Make - Re/Model 'Don't Stop The Dance' in various guises, re-enlisting previous collaborators Todd Terje, Eric Duncan and Greg Wilson, alongside Idjut Boys, Sleazy Mcqueen, Space Coast, Punks Jump Up, and two versions from both Psychemagick and Grasshopper aka in-house keyboard programmer Liam Duggan.

"After the successful release of 'Olympia Remixes', we decided that my song 'Don't Stop The Dance' should really be revisited by a new generation of DJs," says Bryan Ferry.

"Since my first solo album in 1973 I've always tried to reinterpret other people's songs in my own way. So it has been good to hear 'Don't Stop Dance' in so many different incarnations. It's fascinating to see how some of the remixes focus on certain aspects of the song, and some on another...they all take the track to a variety of interesting places."

We admit that we took a lenghty summer break, but Curle is back in full force this fall with new stuff from Lucy, Jonas Kopp, Albert Van Abbe and more to be announced soon. And Frank Martiniq of course. He is someone we've been keeping an eye on since his 'Adriano' record in 2002. More recently we enjoyed his releases on Stroboscopic Artefacts and Rotary Cocktail. Amost two years ago he made his Curle debut with 'Golden Dusk', which got remixed by Scott Grooves later on. The three tracks on the new 'Insomniac' EP could be classified as deep techno, but with enough power, groove and melody to set afire a dancefloor. Enjoy!

With remixes by Dan Curtin, Hrdvsion and label head Spencer Drennan. Each remix brings its own unique sound to make a very diverse EP

Ivano Tetelepta returns to duty on FOF after his well received 'True Colours' LP with a veritable potpourri of tracks in collaboration with various cohorts. First up Ivano's collaboration with Steve Siwalette twists and turns with a steppas' beat whilst melodic licks build the track up to it's anthemic break. 'Give Me Something So I Can Dance' w/Alex Jansen roughs things up with a low-slung dirty groove whist Ben Buiendijk injects an acidic flavour into his collaboration before Ivano & Bas Amro delve deeper with the sweetly melancholic tones of 'Manolia'.

The debut LP from Chicagodamn !

It's been pieced together over the course of a year, since the last, superb and limited edition 'Bizarre Sex' 12 on his own label
Since becoming a father to triplets, this incredibly talented producer has, thankfully, managed to make some time for the recording studio too, as the title tells us 'Experiments Must Continue'

Gavin McClary's music lies somewhere between the cavernous, pared down sonic delights of producers like Levon Vincent, and the simplistic yet irresistible classic House on labels like Prescription Underground.
All executed and pieced together with beautifully produced analog textures, an undeniable ear for hooks & a dash of the gritty UK Techno sound synonymous with his production alias.


Whether he's carving up Disco samples or making 4 basic elements do incredible things, his 'sound' is instantly recognisable, and effortlessly effective where it counts.
On 'Experiments Must Continue' he pushes and develops his trademark themes into a striking and cohesive collection of modern warehouse jams.
Moving from expertly overdriven, rowdy pieces like 'Sleep Deprived' and 'Acid Tool', to those ever present, stripped back grooves on the mesmerising 'Strawberries & Kream' & 'Experiments'
And don't get us started on the deadly 'Agitated' as distinctive and powerful a club jam as you're likely to hear all year !

A stunning collection then
Available as a limited Edition (500 copies) Double vinyl package
Housed in shrinkwrapped manilla sleeves, with cover sticker & unique download codes

With 14 international magazine front covers to her name, numerous producer/DJ awards, top 10 places in the Resident Advisor DJ polls in both 2011 & 2012, 30+ countries played in the last 18 months, 10 million You Tube views, 190,000+ Facebook fans, 50,000 twitter followers and over 4 million plays on Soundcloud, Maya Jane Coles rise to fame has been somewhat meteoric. Now Maya presents the debut single 'Everything' from one of the most eagerly awaited debut electronic albums in years "Comfort".

Everything features Scandinavian songstress Karin Park on vocals and co-writing duties. The track has already racked up over 350k plays on Soundcloud and been played listed on national radio in 6 countries, enjoying radio play in over 20. With the track reaching no 2 on the Twitter Hypemachine chart.

The remixes have received great reactions enjoying club support from all corners of the dance world including spins from Seth Troxler, Dixon, Dubfire, Sasha and Scuba through to Rudimental, Disclosure, Atrak, Steve Aoki and Skream.

Maya is well into a busy 2013 touring calendar that has already seen her perform at Coachella, Sonar, Ultra, Fuji Rock, T In The Park and the opening of Ushuaia in Ibiza, with dates at Bestival, Creamfields, Lowlands, Loveland, Pukkelpop, Flow and Ibiza dates with Enter@Space and Hypercolour@Sankeys in Ibiza plus many more to come.

ELCT001 is the first release from Alex Deamonds on his own recently founded label, East London Club Trax. Inspired by sounds and textures from the club and beyond, this 4 tracker begins with the A side, '(Nu Skool) Deep House Sample Pak'. A club cut, carved out of various sample kit's and designed for peak time, main room function. The B1 lowers the tempo for an outing featuring the Casio RZ1 and TR 808 bass drum. B2, '#lyfe' features house breaks, chopped up under the majestic Juno 106 pad and bassline, whilst the final B3, 'Untitled' (Put it on), concludes the 12' with the samples that inspired the title track. Vocal's supplied by Sinead Brophy. Mastered in the Iron Lung's lair. Pressed on smoking hot wax by Music House, UK.

Perseus Traxx is no stranger to the legion of underground warriors who place quality above quantity, having released on Bunker, M/O/S, Photic Fields, BOE Recordings, BoomChik, Chiwax, Sequencias, and Future Flash to name a few, as well as being one half of Nite Vision with the man behind Mantra/Myriadd.
The Muses are the nine Goddesses who promote literature, science and the arts; the personifications of inspiration. Though only named and assigned characteristics as recently as the Roman era, they were revered by the ancient Greeks, who documented that them as having been recruited by the Egyptian God Osiris as he passed through Ethiopia prior to embarking on a tour of Asia and Europe to teach the arts of cultivation to mankind. Itís with this in mind that Perseus Traxx, makes his first release on Newcastleís Flight Recorder label, delivering an ode to four of them directly rather than the forms they have inhabited while they visit him. Bubbling and cutting, heavy synths and dusty tones are jammed out live to tape, ranging from the playful to the stark as they characterise the appropriately named tracks. An ordered tangle of wires and patching in a unique set of acid-free sonic experiments, that sometimes feel as cold and edgy, as they do warm and carefree.

DDSR005 comes from the New York City based newcomer Edgar M. A house producer by trade, this is Edgar M's debut release but it doesn't show, demonstrating an ear for sound aesthetics and dynamics that immediately caught the attention of Deep Down Slam. His track "Oscillate" is a little masterpiece, rich with musicality and vintage sounding production techniques that are reminiscent of early Strictly Rhythm. This EP sounds just like it came straight out of 1991 and was entirely produced on vintage hardware/analog based equipment. To complement this release we have Zurich based house producer Donato Capozzi on the remix duties who delivers a great dub version of "That Strut". This is a release for the lovers and vintage sounding house diggers out there, NY touch guaranteed!

The Murph has not been shy about sharing his vision with the world, & here he brings some classic home grown Chicago flavor.

French producer Kool Vibe returns with a third offering on his self titled label, continuing to mine that sound classically rooted in the early 90s East Coast swing of New York and New Jersey. Vibes abound on "U Got Me" with the titular vocal hook leading an orchestra of bouncing percussive rhythms, spritely neon dipped keys and an infectious bassline thump, whilst "House Music" shows Kool Vibe dipping into the sounds of vintage Murk productions with equal aplomb.
