Anton Kubikov, for more than a decade well known as half of SCSI-9, delivers with his solo debut a killer twelve inch for Pro-Tez Records. Limited to 300 copies, it is a reduced 4/4 dub vapored Ep that unfolds into a blissed out session and sounds like a cross between Chain Reaction's Fluxion and Rhythm and Sound's more bass-heavy emissions. Dub Techno heads listen up!

The first in an ongoing series of collaborations focusing on live improvised hardware based jams comes to us from bookworms and steve summers. 3 raw whirlpool techno / house tracks

Prague's Visky Recordings continues to present to you high quality music from its fellow producers, this time from the Essen based and highly with
talent gifted producer Kai von Glasow. You might know him from his past releases on Terpsiton or Mild Pitch. The Solid Roots EP features three deep
and diverse tracks including the interpretation of Solid Angle by the Moscow's hero Anton Zap. Play it loud!

Delsin's house series is back once again, this time with mysterious producer Low Jack about who very little is known. He has released but one EP so far, an EP that was both ballsy and techno and deeper and mid tempo. » more

Super strong M>O>S DEEP from this studio master! He's really killing it.... this one really shook the ADE crowd when Aroy Dee slammed it in his set there... Big ITALO style JAK trax...! TIP!
In the last 12 months, Marco Antonio Spaventi has produced alongside James Priestley on Secretsundaze as well as with Aroy Dee on MOS, and here he returns to said deeper than deep label with two tracks all of his own entitled 'The Jungle' and 'Insanity'.

After the success of Chubby Dubz Vol.1 in January 2012 closely followed by Vol.2 in May 2012, Chubby Dubz aka Oliver $ and Gene Siewing are back with the third instalment on loungin'.
After a chart topping year in 2011 where Oliver $'s - Doin' Ya Thang track on Jesse Rose's Play It Down label was No.1 charted track on Beatport 2011 plus was No.1 charted track of all time on Resident Advisor, we were over the moon when Gene & Oliver chose loungin' recordings as the home for the Chubby Dubz album project.
Chubby Dubz background and origins combine all manors of influences, as Oliver is native to Germany and Gene to the US. With this chemistry comes a fusion of minds that produces great house music with enough musical soul to have real longevity whilst still keeping the dance floors moving in the best clubs throughout the world. With releases on labels such as Om Records, Appeal Music and Undertones their unique style of house is enjoying great success throughout the world as all the major heads in house music are revelling in deep house currently. The result of this is that the music of Chubby Dubz is being widely championed by everyone from Ricardo Vilalobos, Baby Ford, DJ Rolando and Doc Martin to name a few.

Terrific house EP from the B-Tracks other half - moody, soulful, raw, catchy, bumping and elastic.

We're super stoked to have this killer EP out on Local Talk as we've been big fans of both C.R.S.T. and Chesus productions for good while now.
As these guys are down with both house music and the UK Garage scene we get served an EP that combines the best of both styles. The result is a jacked up house release that would work equally well at the classic New Jersey Zanzibar club or in your dirty London basement club. The first three tracks (Monster Munch, Newark and Life) takes us on a deep and jackin' house trip with a bouncy garage twist.
But to stir things up a lil' extra the last track (Special) goes all disco with some soulful philly samples...perfect for the Southport Weekender crews!

Tom Trago's Voyage Direct series welcomes another new Amsterdam artist to its roster. This time it is the up and coming MPC lord Overlast, who debuts on the label with a killer two tracker!
With this single Overlast is coming to a zone of his own. 'Alien' is a smooth, yet weirdly alienating house jam that hits hard. 'Range Rover' must be the next car anthem, especially for those who drive one (and have a loud sound system). A shexy, half time bass banger that takes it to the next level. Amazing stuff!

With a bit of delay, Delroy Edwards comes in hitting hard with this 2 track piece of vinyl ! - LTD

Incredible deep and warm analogue soundscapes for endless winter nights.

An exquisite collection of cuts by Orgue Electronique, Crystal Maze, ESHU and Ohrwert cover the ninth Field EP. Limited as usual, no repress.

So here it is...and it's been a long time coming: Metrobox makes his full debut on WPH. After collaborating vocals on last year's 'Red D Meets Vol 1' Metrobox has been working hard to create an E.P. that is totally WPH. And boy has he delivered!
'Juno 11' is one of those tracks you can play anywhere, anytime, anyplace: sultry, seductive, powerful and with a melody that sticks in your head instantly. More of that with 'Ode To WPH', Metrobox' own celebration of our label, and the very first part-Dutch lyrics on WPH. An attitude we can only commend! Beware: vocals can be addictive...
Talking about addictive, when we heard the remix our Japanese WPH connection Humandrone did of 'Ode Aan WPH'...we were hooked, and we stay hooked even after playing it endlessly. Listen to it, and share our anticipation for the upcoming full E.P. by Humandrone on WPH... But back to Metrobox, who rounds off his label debut with 'Live The Dream', another winner in the wake of E.P. opener 'Juno 11'. A killer melody, subdued vocals and a groove that...won't stop Welcome home Metrobox!

Back in the 90's Orlando Voorn was one of the first european producers to establish the bridge between Detroit & Europe. With countless releases on classic label's like KMS, R&S Records, Clubstitute, International Deejay Gigolo, Ignitor and ESP Records to name a few, Voorn is a important name in the history of electronic music. The last years Voorn have been laying low, mostly focusing on producing his forthcoming album which will be out very soon. This release is a taste of what to expect of Voorn in 2013 as he returns with a incredible strong EP. Starting off with 'One Day' which features soul legend Marvin Gaye on the vocals and is a funky, jazzy & soulful house track with the perfect groove. The follow up track 'Won't Be Long' is another great track, soulful detroit house at it's best! On the flip side you get 'Takadakadina' which is a hypnotic super funky house track, sounding something like Derrick Carter just moved to Detroit.. The final track 'Soul Survivor' is the bomb on this EP, a deep deep journey into Theo Parrish territory with mind-blowing elements of soul & detroit of the highest quality! All in all an impressive release and that marks the return of a king!

Tracks:

Over the last year I've traveled to Canada frequently for gigs and got to know the small but healthy electronic music scene there.Cities like Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto have brought forth many established artists over the past few years, such as Egyptrixx,Azari & III, Basic Soul Unit, Jacques Greene, Lunice and Sixtoo, but 2012 has seen a new breed of no-nonsense house and techno producers come up via labels like Turbo Recordings and Naked Lunch.
This "Dovercourt EP" features four very talented producers: Kevin McPhee, Nautiluss, Gingy and fresh face Bruce Trail. Their tracks are a dedication to their hometown of Toronto. Being removed from the house/techno epicentres of Berlin and London, these four are much less interested in what's fashionable or trendy, and more in bringing us straight to the point, no frails jacking house music. I've been playing these four extensively in my DJ sets, and I hope you will too. So out to Toronto, this one's for you! Enjoy. Martyn

Finally available on vinyl, without pretension or smug justification of "clever" sampling, is the Improper Trax rework of the Chicago '80s classic "It's You." Held high by many a DJ as the "superior" version of the highly limited late 2012 cover, thanks to its floor-focused treatment and unabashed preference to jack, it's made the rounds at Panorama Bar, Fabric, Smart Bar, Rinse.FM and pretty much every other fine dance music institution around the globe. Despite antagonizing copyright claims on Youtube, empty threats from fake lawyers, and tough-guy chest-thumping from boastful Belgians, "The Heat" flips the dial to "fuck you" and lays it out for The People to just enjoy without all the elitist posturing. With that said, the "IMPROPER TRAX" begin!

Vinyl Only and Limited to 500 copies! On the fifth release we explore the ocean's deepest depths...somewhere in a far away galaxy. These 3 Tracks are filled with heavy thundering bass drums, slow building synth sculptures and droning machines! Are you ready to submerge

Debut from ROCHE on the MATHEMATICS label leads off with "SANS QUIMICO", an amazing tune with
elements of deep house and Detroit techno. "LFTL ETERNAL" starts the flip with an obscure bangin track with crisp hats and a
bubbling bassline. The title cut ends the EP with a chilled out deep 5am feel.

Fast forward to 2012 and it's hard to believe that KMS is still releasing records. With such a long history, what better way to celebrate than to release a special CD Boxset. The 'KMS 25th Anniversary Classics' will be released on CD, Digital (and for those vinyl collectors, there will be 6 x 12' Samplers). Each format includes a plethora of gems which have been released on KMS over the last 25 years.
KMS may be celebrating it's 25th Anniversary, but there's no slowing down for Kevin Saunderson. He's still producing, remixing and djing (all over the world). Here's to the next 25 years....

Mock & Toof are back following on from their superb debut album 'Tuning Echoes' in 2010.
The first material to emerge from the new album is called 'My Head' & it features vocals from young Swiss artist Ghostape. In a nutshell it's one little catchy chugger with a heavy analog sound. The beats of the Boss DR-55 & the inimitable bass of the TB-303 lay the foundation. Clavs, bell lines and synth sweeps combine with Ghostape's repetitive dubbed out vocals for a unique sounding electro-dub-funk inspired cut.

New slightly off season various artist release from WPH, Belgium!
the label say"After last year's summer special in the winter it looks like the calendar at WPH's HQ is up to par again... Luckily so is the music, as this edition of the Summer Special series focuses on three tracks that were about to get lost in the ever-growing jungle of digital only releases. But like a true Dr Livingstone Red D set out to find these babies a home on vinyl, so here we are!
The A-side is a complete Arto Mwambe affair, with the Offenbach boys giving their house meets bliss treatment to Armagnac's 'Curve' first. Released on French digital outlet All Naked Records, Arto and his Mwambes do what they do best: house music full of melody and surprise, with some disco & boogie influences lurking in the mix. The second track is their remix of Viadrina's 'Better', digitally released on Pets Recordings and now in all its melodic glory ready to be banged by quality-seeking house DJ's worldwide.
A WPH release without any San Soda input Not a chance! Our boy wonder made a remix last year for Barck & Prommer, one that got released on vinyl. But he also made another remix that never saw the light of day for reasons unknown to people vaguely aware of what Belgian trance influences can do... Judge for yourself, and maybe recognize it, because this has been a staple in label boss Red D's sets for ages... "

Making a stand-out debut on the Visionquest imprint, one of North America's most dexterous and versatile producers Brett Johnson steps up with 'Move Power' - a dense and heady double hitter of quirky chemical romance and rolling sharp edged house with an evocative lick of vocals courtesy of Ellipsis.
Dallas native Brett Johnson has been in the business of blowing up dancefloors for quite some while employing multiple guises. As producer, DJ and label owner, Brett has deftly crossed boundaries over house, techno disco and R&B delivering a cascade of benchmark releases for well over a decade including 'Stucco Homes' on Classic, 'Temptation and Lies' from album project with David Barker and his momentous remix of Scooper & Bubba 'I'm Satisfied'. Brett has also been running own imprint Bang The Box with close friend Lance DeSardi since 2007.

A series of raw house tracks engineered for heavy DJ use. Two tight tools from one of todays toughest house cats. Inspired from 90s house music played in clubs such as Greece's legendary venue Spacemobile. Volume three comes ONLY in 150g of 12 VINYL including unpadded paper inner sleeve and hard cover. All right now All right!

Enlightened Wax returns with a fistful of kick drums to the face and a whole load of crunchiness to boot. Part Analogue Cop, part Third Sider, part machine - the incomparable Marieu makes a return to his own label alongside Berlin's rising analogue fiend, Hinode who makes himself heard right from the start of A1, submerging us into a shuffling, funked-out frenzy of samples and ruthless percussion. The A2 is another brutal monster, where bursting toms, cascading synths and analogue rawness align to form an irresistible peak-time burner; but it's on the B1 that things turn really nasty - some seriously off-kilter percussion moulds seamlessly with gorgeous strings only to fall back apart into a winding bundle of slicing drums. Not much can be said about the B4, it's just a classic 'MG' (Marieu-Groove) bomb: dusty drums, shredded vocal samples and those jagged piano keys grinding their way into that seductive Enlightened Wax vibe. Marieu and Hinode packing some serious heat....Vinyl only for that extra punch!
Words by Pietro Barbieri-H

'Walking The Streets' is the second single to be taken from Mock & Toof's
latest acclaimed album 'Temporary Happiness'. It's a welcome return to the
dancefloor sound that M&T originated with featuring the distinct vocals of
album collaborator Ghostape. Dutch synth wizard Legowelt & Rephlex's DMX
Krew provide two outstanding remixes. Killer analog vibes!

First born of the rabbit stables, FTWR 001 is guaranteed to make your head bob ! For this first EP something big has been planned and it's been in trusted to the safe keeping of a talented artist : the french producer ART BLEEK. He is the composer of many albums at Loungin' Recording and collaborating with leads of famous renowned labels such as EevoNext Recording, Rush Hour Records, Connaisseur Recordings, and Charivari Records.
ART BLEEK has lovingly devised for us an enchanting EP with mind-blowing melodies, deep-house and over boosted rhythms.
The main goal of this EP is to set your spirit free into a spinning world only you can imagine. Colorful and fresh, so is the very
Chemical track : "The Radio" remixed by Tom Ellis who turns it into an ever more hypnotic and mesmerizing track. On side B is the very sick and classy "Day Dream" that is insistent and erases any knowledge of your whereabouts. Under water, above the cloud, senses are lost and dissolved to the sound of music. The chant ends with Oleg Poliakov which in turn prompts and complete the journey by a remix of 'Eyes Don't Lie' . A deep and honest mix which for a few moments more lets your imagination free.

In Munich the sun always shines. Even at night. This Pastamusik LTD is the living proof for that. The sonic power even increased after a DEMO arrived in here by Orient Expense. A Demo by a young talented man carrying the seldom name KAAN DUZARAT. Of course, after listening to his tunes we had to unpack shorts and skirts since the heat started to become unbearable. Finally we concluded that heat in winter is a good thing so we gave the release an earlier release date. Kaan is different he's slow without losing himself into the general discovery of slowness. His tracks sound like they were produced at 40C heat without losing the focus on Techno as its main goal. Rare and beautiful worlds got openend to tbe listeners ears. At his hometown, the young man is responsible for the bookings of Istanbuls Nightclubs Otto and MiniMuzikhall and he also runs his own new label named Vesveseve from which we believe will hear a lot more in the future.The B-Side is a reshape (what an un-German word) by THE ANALOG ROLAND ORCHESTRA in it's unique stylish way and shows us how a Turkish Bazar would work in Munich.
The PAMLTD010 comes in a limited Vinyl Edition of 300 records. The first 100 in clear vinyl. On one hand we love playing around with the pressing plant and of course they should also become part of our Discogs retirement funding program. A Turkish-German Friendship as it should be. Welcome Kaan Duzarat our modest lodge may also be your home.

Poisson Chat Musique celebrates its first anniversary with a strong and versatile Ep, introducing two very talented newcomers. Tim Dornbusch opens with Spaceperiode, a great and inspired dub-techno vision of a post-war city (could be the dark-side of Roger 23's Elemental 7). Label owner Poisson Chat tells a deep story about an irresistible mermaid named Linda. And finally, after his collaboration with Poisson Chat on Ray Manta (PCM003), Chahe Demian aka Blu Farm closes this Ep with Pig, one of the coolest track on Poisson Chat Musique.
This Ep is followed by a ten-track compilation (One year compilation). After a lot of requests from all over the world, eight tracks chosen from the five Eps of PCM, including Poisson Chat, Roger 23, Break SL, Gomez / Rey / Barokskki, Tim Dornbusch, and Blu Farm are finally available digitally. It doesn't mean that all of the catalogue is (and will be) available in this format, but just SOME tracks. PCM supports vinyl, and proposes few tracks digitally like an open-door to the physical format. After one year, it was also important to share the spirit of the label with people, friends and family who don't have turntables at home. To make this compilation really unique, you will also discover two unreleased and exclusive tracks from Poisson Chat and Gomez / Rey / Barokskki.
