Disco Bloodbath Recordings continue their run of stellar releases with the debut on the label of the mysterious Al Gobi, accompanied by heavy remix pressure courtesy of Crooked Man and Wild Geese.
The 'Halfway House' original is simple yet extremely effective. Analogue drums work with twin bass and piano lines building to a dancefloor satisfying crescendo.
The first remix sees Wild Geese inject some big room energy via thundering sub-bass and a reworked piano line while on the flip Crooked Man provides an eleven and a half minute epic, retaining the bassline of the original but replacing the drums with a killer electro groove and introducing additional vocals and a twisted horn part. BIG TUNE!!

IS IT BALEARIC hit their late 20's with another superb release - this time Craig Bratley steps up with Analogue Dreams
Craig has earnt quite a reputation from only a handful of releases, including the Weatherall favourite and classic cut 'Birdshell' on Instruments Of Rapture.
On Analgue Dreams, Craig lays down a gently evolving, Acid tinged Piano slow burner, all mood and melody.
First up on the remix we have the ever essential Bonar Bradberry who amps things up and takes a clonking bass riff down the Disco for a real good time.On the flip Crimea X pare the musical elements right down and build an epic remix from the raw ingredients, employing live percussion and shimmering synths.
Finally Joe's Bakery dial down the tempo and incorporate some deft acoustic guitar and gentle moodswings alongside the musical elements of the original

Part 4 of this well known Edit Series! First come first served!!!

Hot on the heels of our first release, Paradise Club Recordings are straight back to business with another limited run, coloured vinyl EP that should further establish the labels growing reputation for diverse, forward thinking musicianship and staunch production values.Opening proceedings on the A-side is the stunning 'One Man & His Lighthouse' by Blacksmif. Dense synth textures are layered upon
a foundation of dynamic, pulsing cross rhythms to create an enchanting garage-meets-soul flavour that has come to define his distinct style. Continuing on the A side, Juno Sutton steps up on remix duties, creating a highly functional rework by ducking the tempo and stripping down the groove, realigning the track toward the dance-floor, while still perfectly complimenting Blacksmif's more offbeat original.
On the AA-side, Jabru shows another string to his bow and drops the pace further with the slowburning 'Butterfly Stitched' (vinyl exclusive). Here, deep pounding 808s and driving claps are woven into lo-fi pads and a haunting vocal sample to form an ethereal,
melodic stomper that still has the club set firmly in its sights.
MTD & Dutty Dan round off the AA side with the incendiary 'Stranded'. Primed for peak time destruction, the track combines gut- punching sub tones with powerful stabs and rugged, elemental percussion, resulting in a bass-heavy sonic weapon that ensures a full
attendance on the floor time and time again.
We hope you'll agree that this set of carefully crafted pieces by some unusual suspects that you're sure to be hearing a lot more from
very soon, goes one step closer to help cement Paradise Club Recordings' position as a real force to be reckoned with into 2013 and
beyond.

On the A side is the vocal version of YWFLA. Breach wanted this track on vinyl so thought he would release this exclusive version in a very limited fashion.On the flip is a tasty remix from up and coming Citizen who delivers perfectly with this dancefloor ready re shape of the original.

Limited Hand stamped Vinyl.Collaboration between Breach and Midland, released on Breach's Naked Naked label.

Four deadly cuts of timeless, jackin' house and deep techno professionalism. OCH returns to his Autoreply home with a new series of split 12"s inviting a diverse group of producers to share a slab of wax. For the A Side he opens with "Deltic" which sets the mood with tough yet soulful Chicago vibes. OCH's second contribution is "Freeze-Thaw" showcasing a deep, hypnotic groove alongside powerful sub-bass, lush female vox with dreamy analogue pads that bridge the gap between artistic creativity and memorable club versatility. On the flip side it's Romanian all-rounder, The Model, who has previously graced premium labels such as Traum Schallplatten and International DJ Gigolo. Here he delivers two ultra-phat workouts in the form of "Dungeon Man", an infectious chord driven floor-burner and "Stancuto" a stripped back, percussive take on the same theme demonstrating his emerging new warehouse sound with just the slightest salute to Echocord or Dehnert.

School is the brand new imprint from industry
veterans Katie Thiebaud, Peter Livingston and Jan
Francis and its inaugural release comes from Dusky
with 'Calling Me', out December.
Releasing on vinyl and digital, with Dusky's 'Calling
Me' taking in one vinyl-only and one digital-only
cut, details of School's future releases and overall
music policy are being kept under wraps but the
bar is set high by Dusky for 001.
Based out of Hornsey in London, Dusky (aka Alfie
Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman) have had an
exceptional year with their 'Flo Jam' and 'Henry 85'
singles, remixes for Hot Chip, Rudimental and
Justin Martin and a Radio 1 Essential mix all seeing
near-universal support from across the
electronic music spectrum.
The duo's inspirations of classic techno, quality
R&B, Garage and Rave permeate all three tracks
on
'Calling Me' and while the results come off a little
tougher than previous material the distinct Dusky
sense of funk and soul is ever-present. From the
unrelenting title track to the muscular technoid
garage of 'What I Do' via the proud rave-breakdown
aesthetics of 'Muriel', this is some....

NICK ANTHONY SIMONCINO from Italy, who devotes himself to Chicago house & Detroit techno, lands on
one of the most innovative Windy City labels of present day. Fans of his releases on NO MORE HITS, ON THE PROWL, etc will
dig these cuts.

Once again two flying something objects are located in the orbit, waiting for permission to land on your turntables and in the lay-by of your recordbag.

With an array of classic remixes under its belt, Domino is proud to release Motion Sickness - a collection of some of the finest the label has to offer- on December 3rd.
Taking its name from the opening track of Hot Chip's current album In Our Heads, Motion Sickness brings together some of the most respected names in dance music with the key players in the Domino roster.
From disc one's swell of deep, sumptuous re-workings of Domino classics including the Grammy Award-nominated Carl Craig remix of Junior Boys' "Like a Child" right through to the more esoteric, obscure and contemporary rebirths like Mike Simonetti's hard-to-find "Champagne Coast" remix on the second, it's a compilation that will work throughout the night and into the morning.
Now with the release of Motion Sickness, these definitive remixes have been brought together for the first time.
Also featuring suitably kinetic artwork from Liquid Liquid's Dennis Young, Motion Sickness puts the spotlight on Domino's previously obscured night-time alter ego.

The unstoppable force that is Maceo Plex is back on board his own Ellum Audio imprint after his huge collaboration with Jon Da Silva took the world by storm and proved to be one of the biggest tracks of the year. Never failing to deliver, the 'Space Junk EP' is another slice of dance floor magic, Maceo Plex style.
First up 'Filthy Mama' demonstrates Maceo's undeniable talent and signature sound with seductive grooves and deep, grumbling undertones. This solid house hit is tinted with disco flare yet embodies that funky, modern and hypnotic house the producer is so well known for with on point vocals that make it stand apart. There's no question that the producer has studio masterstrokes to spare, acutely aware of what works the floor.
Over on the B-side 'Stimulation' takes a deeper and harder turn for the late night ravers. Still noticeably a Maceo track, it adopts a big room driving sound with a thumping bass followed with intricate pacey percussions. Siren haunts fall into the vortex of sonic sounds, echoing and all encompassing for that dance floor effect, with warm synths flowing through the beautiful yet eerie layers.
Not many artists have the ability to envision a fresh sound and make such a signature stamp on modern dance music. Eric Estonel aka Maceo Plex has done just that, not only under his Maceo Plex moniker but also as Maetrik so it's no surprise he's been dominating the global scene. Now settled in Barcelona, Maceo balances a hectic touring schedule with plenty of studio time, prolific output released via heavyweight labels such as Leftroom, Crosstown Rebels, No.19, Watergate and Defected.Naturally, Ellum Audio is also becoming home to some classic Maceo Plex and the 'Space Junk EP' is no exception.

Malin Génie is back on Tomorrow Is Now, Kid! with this very special four track EP Pushin' On. Limited pressing of 250 copies pitch black vinyl. His first release Malingering EP in October 2011 gave us a taste of what this 25 year old Amsterdam producer confects in his soul kitchen. Now the génie is out of the bottle once again with a brew of beats that is guaranteed to give everyone a euphoric dance floor and party experience!
Tomorrow Is Now, Kid! sees the convergence of music, internet and live events as the ultimate opportunity to bring music to people. The label releases tracks with a passion for genuine underground House music. We produce successful events with different concepts, are the driving force behind the Transistor Rhythm club nights in Club Up and have had label nights in Amsterdam, Berlin and Lisbon.
Tomorrow Is Now, Kid! or TINK! Records as it was originally called in 1989, was one of the first House labels in The Netherlands. Certainly the first to release Soulful House and Garage tracks onto the dance floors. TINK! Records became a household name with releases by artists such as Black Tulip, Eddy de Clercq (EDC), MTC, MDA. feat. Lilian Vieira, R.J.'s Rule, Formosa and Thyone Girls.
We relaunched the company 3 years ago with the intention of re-releasing all the great music that was made 20 years ago and now we finally realized that dream.

Further explorations where quality is key & deep vibes are the order of the day. Chris Mitchell (Plan B, Vanguard Sound), Tony Ollivierra (Ibex. Planet E, Rush Hour), & commandante Patrice Scott lead the charge. For headphones, or late night floors.

Next up, PARKWEST bring's you a tasty two track from young newcomers APARTMENT 4/4.
Two heavy dancefloor cuts, both HIGH ON HOPE! "THE ISMS" is a cry for change over deeply moving strings, a serious bassline leads us up and away.
"CITY DREEMS" brings to mind the hopes of young horn players heading north to the Windy City.
A simple brass hook & a thumpin' rhythm Once again, it's no fad, no gimmicks... just REAL HOUSE MUSIC!

Making all the right moves with previous form on Aus, Needwant and Tusk Wax, Ejeca is well tapped into the revivalist house zeitgeist with these hale and hearty jams for Waze & Odyssey. Solid Inner City chords and crisp, bright drums abound on side A, with "Night Rays" sure to inflict some damage with its fulsome square wave bassline. On the flipside, "Never Forget" ups the tempo for a cut that dresses like tech house but moves like 2-step. Waze & Odyssey themselves bring a smoother, deeper vibe to bear on their remix of "Riddim", pulling the melodic content right back to subtle flecks for a greater dramatic impact.

UK release on export ban but we can get the French release! - no doubt it will be limited

Perlon founder Zip, real name Thomas Franzmann, has compiled the latest edition of Fabric's illustrious, long-running mix series, featuring material from Vakula, Terrence Dixon and Kenny Larkin.
With all the verve and blissful energy of his DJ sets Franzmann builds his own musical universe across the mix, unmasking his mysticism at first with the revealing reverbed chants and analogue stabs of Vedomir's 'Dreams' before veering off into the awkwardly sinewy melodic structure of San Proper and Steven De Peven's collaboration, 'Pam Pam'. The poise of the way Vedomir's ethereal opener runs into the clipped drums of 'Pam Pam' sets Zip up for further of these intelligent arrangements. Using these kinds of morphing vocals as a key tool, Zip draws for them on more than one occasion on the first half of fabric 67, using them to slice through the mix, creating these weirdly beautiful moments that serve to mesmerize the listener.He's not shy of using proven dancefloor wrecking tools either, using Nail's 'Till The Feelings Gone' very early on and unapologetically hinging the mix on the 'Moodyfied Mix' of Jovonn's rare 1995 groove, 'Satisfied'. But as much as he's able to let these little moments of release fly out there wantonly, he shows that rare ability of being able to dovetail his more stomping moments with the sparse, disjointed technicality of DJ QU's 'Everybody Dark', the irk of the distorted lead line on The Sun of God remix of Armando & Steve Poindexter's 'Blackholes' or the direct drive

Great 3 track EP on a new Amsterdam imprint...TIP!
The label say "Contrary to what you would expect from a record called 'Grey EP' and its frosty artwork, the first release on Tape Records Amsterdam sounds nothing but colourful, distinctive and hot. This is the debut of Deniro (real name: Reynier Hooft), a young producer who resides in The Hague and only works with vintage synthesizers and drum computers.On the Grey EP he takes you along on an astral trip and indulges you with deep synthesizer leads, shifting pads, clear-cut hi-hats and relentless rhythms. TAPE001 is a deep, but uplifting release. And whereas the whole EP has a certain nostalgic ambience to it, at no point does the music feel outdated.
Even though Deniro's sound is clearly influenced by early techno records, the Grey EP is no tribute but a beautiful example of modern electronic music in true Detroit fashion. The lush, sometimes even Japanese sounding melodies make you dream of deep blue oceans and deserted beaches of far-off tropical islands. But despite of their dreamy character these tracks will definitely work every dancefloor. This is machine soul of the highest calibre.

This december is the birth of Singular records, Marcelus'own label, based in Paris. Since two years, the dj and producer
Ermerged in the techno scene, releasing his own materials on labels such as DJ Deep's Deeply rooted house records, Delsin's
Ann Aimee or legendary Tresor records, played by established techno djs over the globe, and playing out himself in renowned
clubs like Tresor, Fabric, Propaganda or Berghain, it has been quite an intense start for the french joke.

The only thing that keeps Detroit Swindle from actually being from Detroit is that they are born and raised in Amsterdam, a little over 6000 kilometers away. So even though they've got their 4 feet firmly positioned on Dutch soil, their heads and hearts are rooted deep into the soul of the motor city.
Detroit Swindle consists of Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets, 2 guys that, without actually growing up together, have had pratically an identical musical upbringing. A vibrant mix of Motown-soul, funk, hiphop and jazz inspired them from an early age on and after a varied exploration through techno and house, they met eachother by mutual interest in Detroit inspired deephouse.
Detroit Swindle have a clear vision on the music they produce and play. If you can't knod your head to it, it's probably not theirs and they probably won't like it. Their productions are best described as contemporary interpretations of classic soul tracks with melodical grooves, jazzy chords and bumpy basslines. So in short, if Marvin Gaye would have made house music, they would have been his biggest fans.

2LP inclusive CD version + 2 bonus tracks
Ulfo is the debut album by map.ache.
A selection driven by determined chords carrying tears of optimism.
Presenting 10 tracks as shelter for hope, decorated with the shadow of a white rose in a mirror of silver.

Here we are with 2nd release of the Geneva based label CADUCEUS RECORDS!
Quenum and Lad old friends are joining their forces for the 3rd time to make a beautiful trippy track called 'ITHACA' in reference to the greek poem of Cavafy . This long melodic exposure is completely suitable for dance floors with strong and powerful bass groove mixed with subtle harmonies and melodic sequences.
The track gives us this idea of a voyage full of adventure and full of discovery. And as the moral of the history says what is important in life is not the destination but the path. It's also true in music. Think about it.
We have also the honor to have a beautiful rmx of the master of the genre Petar Dundov. He borders with sublime with his interpretation of what 'Ithaca' should be....

Northern England based Outcross Records bring you 'The Break Out' EP this November by Inland Knights backed with a remix from label heads MAM (Miguel Campbell & Matt Hughes).
Inland Knights have been heavily involved with electronic music since the early 90's, building an enviable reputation through their 'Smokescreen' free parties in that era and later starting the reputable Drop Music imprint which over the years has seen support from the likes of Luke Solomon, Phil Weeks, Laura Jones and Lee Foss, evidently showing the diverse appeal embodied in their music.
'Bounce' opens the release here and in true Inland Knights fashion storms in with a raw shuffling rhythm. A gritty, penetrating saw wave bass hook is thrown into the mix and the duo's signature hip-house vocal chops create their own melody on top of the track's sturdy foundations. The latter stages introduce hypnotizing filtered arp lines and sweeping house synths to the hub of the track, adding further melodic movement and rounding the piece off as classy, retro inspired house music with a forward thinking appeal.
Next is 'Broken Up', taking on a more stripped-back form with heavily swung drums and an acidic bass-line driving the track. The cut steadily evolves with subtle modulation creating an ever-evolving movement, before breaking things down and introducing organic bass licks, hi-pitched vocal chops and warm brass tones into the consequent stages.
Closing the release is 'Broken Up (MAM Remix), the duo drop the tempo and infuse the cut with their signature slo-mo disco drums, staccato hooky bass and tasteful filter work. MAM tracks have become instantly recognizable for their 'French House' feel and understated, less-is-more approach and here they deliver that once more dissecting the key elements of the original and remolding them elegantly.
Inland Knights 'The Break Out' EP is out on Outcross Records November 2012.

Unlucky for some but not it seems you or us, DOT013 comes comprised of a hat trick of deep and sultry, some would say R'n'B
flavoured slow jams, made for those sexier evenings when you feel the urge to want to nod your head, wine your body and give those
hips something of a work out as opposed to just pointing haphazardly to the sky whilst hopping between legs and occasionally
pulling your best 'ooooh listen to that bass line' face. Though those evenings clearly have their place as well.
James Welsh has, it must be said, lived quite the life already, from touring with post-punk outfit The Rise, riding BMX in Texas or
remixing everyone from Britney Spears to Depeche Mode or DJ-ing around the world as part of Ocelot, a key player in that whole
blog house scene from a few years back. Basically the boy has been there and done it, he didn't even buy the t-shirt, he designed it
and then sold it back to you and your folks for a massive profit. We said it was R'n'B flavoured and R'n'B flavoured it is. The Way
sounds like James got locked in a basement with Baby Face, Brandy, Monica, Jodeci and Montell Jordan and was forced at gun
point to make a track that could be played in those sexy nightclubs that all the ghetto stars go to, where they spray Cristal over each
other then have a fight and post a twitter picture of their war wounds. Fighting and champagne spraying is optional though sexy
dutty-wine dancing is not.
If we had to classify one of these tracks as 'the peak time one' then Walk would be it, now our
mum always told us to walk before we run and we don't like classifying things too much so let's just say that if you want to make
loads of people jack, but in more of a sexy way as opposed to that frantic jerking shenanigans they used to do back in the early
nineties that was recorded on beta-max then this is the track to employ. It's low-slung and sultry, jacking house music, which means
ladies like it too.
Hold should perhaps be named Hold Tight, as in 'you'd better strap yourself in and hold on mate'. But it isn't. If you like your music
slowed down with enough low end to dislodge your undercarriage then this is the track for you. It's got some spoken word vocal on it
and some chanting that crops up from time to time but the rest just kick-drum and bass, loads of loverly, slow, elongated bass. It
sounds more like you are in the jungle than in a night club, so more Greystoke than Grey Goose.

It's the monster Paperclip People hit, remixed by Slam and pressed onto vinyl for the first time. This is a limited edition, one-sided 10" on colored vinyl, and also includes three exclusive lock grooves of theoriginal version of 'Throw' for your peaktime pleasure.
GREY VINYL 10" WITH 3 LOCK GROOVES

Bring U Up originally appeared on Roman's Blackmale label in 1995 as a rumbling slice of New Jersey garage complete with gospel samples and Romanthony collaborator The Trojan Horse. It was a bit of a cult favourite with underground heads like DJ Deep. It wasn't until Roman completely re-produced and re-sang the song in 2000 that it fully took on anthem status. Out went the heavy kicks and hypnotic moods and in came James Brown horn stabs and a live beat that sounded like Bernard Purdie had joined him for the session (the drums were actually provided by Roman himself). The result was an instant club hit with everyone from Pete Tong to Francois Kevorkian that reached (a very respectable 74) in the UK national charts.
On this 12' Deetron's takes the funk vibe of Roman's 2000 version and toughens it up for todays dancefloors, Lee Webster adds a monster baseline and some serious beats. On the flip-side the original Blackmale version is re-issued on vinyl for the first time as is an unreleased DJ friendly edit of the 2000 version done by Kevin McKay.

Andreas Saag returns to Local Talk with a follow-up to his Back To Life EP, this time he's invited longtime friend and studio partner Cazuma Mori, together both of them offers the Local Talk fans house music with a distinctive production technique.
"Nostalgia" is a warm stomping basement beats floor-filler, with a fat bassline tempered by rising chord textures, smartly coordinated with the pulses in the track.
As the track evolves the kick drum charge forward the bassline making the chord an addictive and unforgettable hook.
Both Saag & Cazuma showcases their skills in tackling slower bpms too.
The B-Side "Can't Hide It" comes with intricate keyboard work and deep atmosphere that's driven by an appealingly on-point house bassline. The track picks up a new elements at just the right moment to keep you on board the whole 8 minutes.

Although the productions of BILL YOUNGMAN and JOHN TEJADA are more or less the opposite of ANDERS ILARs, they have something in common, which is a tendency to the rather dark, dream-like and maybe even destructive side of music. Children of the 90s. JOHN TEJADA's remix of MYSTERY TRAIN shows once again the unique talent of this shy Carlifornian musician. TEJADA replaces the distorted beat from ILAR and creates a deep sounding track, which builds up on warm and hypnotizing beats coming along light as a feather - how good can it get BILL YOUNGMAN remains true to himself and transforms the patterns and sounds towards less softness, more edges. Raw mechanical grooves.The maxi single rounds up perfectly with a halfbeat track from ILAR, an original taken from his recently released album ELVA. Fast dubstep, fast electronica. Both mixes will surprise you when you least expect it to create those magical moments on the floor. Have a listen, and you will hear what this means.

Following up Ben La Desh's excellent debut on their Black Ops sub label the SLEAZYBEATS crew have brought celebrated Kiwi beat merchant Frank Booker back to the fold with the Beat Down & Out EP.
Frank's been less than prolific releases wise, but you can be sure every one is a keeper.
Great EP's on Untracked, Japan's Wonderful Noise and the Fall Out EP - which was Sleazy's final release - sold out in week one.
Much like the musical content of the acclaimed Hit It & Quit It radio he hosts with Recloose, Frank dims the lights and turns up the heat for his Black Ops offering, a seriously accomplished dancefloor weapon concocted from the finest samples, crispest beats and heaviest low end available.
Years of experience in moving the floor, combined with the finest ingredients means the Beat Down & Out selection will be an enduring feature in the world's best record bags
