The 3rd release on bernese imprint «bons vivants Records» by KOHN and Gray Chalk is traveling the path of quite some psychedelic house and techno area. Occam by KOHN is a steady acidish house grower while his second cut is exploring the rather dark side the same genre.
Also Gray Chalks appearance on the record is rather dark: Typical «Chalk» drum pattern signature, distinctive pads and entangled harmonies make both of his tracks an atmospheric killer package.

The New Year marks a time of change, fresh starts and new beginnings and 2017 will see the launch of a brand new vinyl series from 20/20 Vision.
Up first on the series we welcome Portuguese native Marco Rodriguez, aka Photonz. He first caught our ear with his early output on cult London imprint Dissident, and then went on to release with tastemaker labels Crème Organization & Hot Haus.
Negative Cities Pt.1 is filled with the deep, rich & fat analog sounds that Photonz has become renowned for. Whether it's intergalactic acid bangers like 'Astral Acid', the skipping hi-hats and wonky shuffle of 'Death Drive', or the driving main room techno of 'Somewhere I Read', there's enough ammunition here to satisfy any house and techno connoisseur.
Negative Cities Pt.1 is out 13th February on 20/20 Vision.
Limited to 300 copies.

Polyop was formed in 2015 by producers Jack Driscoll, Harry Orso and visual artist and programmer Alex Kempton. Since then they have been researching and developing a visual-audio experience that fuses nature and tribal culture with the machine. 'Ceremony' is the first exploration of that aesthetic, with their own take on acid house, they take the subject on a hypnotic journey through an alternate sonic-visual reality.

Kemp mutates 'Ceremony' into something between disco and techno, the kick and bassline thick and pulsing, whilst the percussion syncopates infectiously. The track progresses into a crescendo, which is amplified by the cavernous feel of the mix. This is certain to hypnotise 3am dancefloor-pagans into a state of worship.

HYDRAFUNK is an exciting Detroit Techno inspired collaboration between Immigrant Records owner and label manager Robin Porter and US analogue synth guru Mike Carr. The duo first collaborated back in 2002 releasing the 'Mental Stealth EP' on Immigrant, featuring the bassline and synth heavy 'Fathernature', a track that found it's way on 'Evil' Eddie Richard's Fabric 16 mix CD and is currently being remixed for the upcoming 'Immigrant Icons' vinyl remix series by the scene's golden child - 'Subb-an.' Their debut three track EP, 'Beasts From Below', fuses the analogue aptitude of Mike Carr and Robin Porter's attention to sound frequency, arrangement detail and understanding of the dance floor, delivering an intoxicating peak time package of delight. The A1 track entitled 'Underworld' is a deep journey of melodic synth work and chugging groove that travels into dark territories, complimented by uplifting percussion that builds into a peak time beast from the deep. On the flip side, the B1 track entitled 'Immortal Melody' delves even further into moody territory delivering a tantalising array of dreamy synths and jackin' old school percussion, that submerges into an abyss of texture before rising up into a dance floor banger. The inside B2 cut entitled 'Hydra's Dance' is definitely not a token bonus track and is the most dance floor friendly cut, featuring Robin's knack for creating powerful basslines, unique vocals and Mike's ability to create depth and texture with his analogue synth programming. With another HYDRAFUNK EP almost at the pressing plant and an 'Immigrant Icon's remix EP underway, the duo will be leading the charge to push Immigrant back into the Techno and House limelight in 2016 and beyond with their underworld funk.

Editor extraordinaire, Sneaker welcomes you to marvel at his Midas Touch. Happy disco or chirpy funk edits these ain't. Instead the Rat Life man unearths three dark obscurities and further blackens their already sinister sounds.'Playground' by Click Click first came out in 1988. Sneaker maintains the tension, the steady and strained notes as vocals tell a tale of shrouded menace. Ralph Lundsten opens the flip, his 1970 track 'Through A Landscape of Mirrors' is bolstered with snapping rhythms, synths are smeared and wrenched as the twisted hand of Dunkeltier takes control. The last instalment, first released on Ant-Zen in 2006, is Geneviève Pasquier's 'Fairy Tale.' A gritty track of reduced industrial essences, the original has been extended and further muddied for ready-made dancefloor corruption.

Cologne based artist 'Adryiano' has finally threaded into label managing waters. Ever since the emerge of his multi functional platform 'Cestraw' back in 2011 Adryiano has been twisting and thinking on when to launch the label side of things. After the humble success of his latest "Down South" effort on Soul Notes it felt like the right time.

CR/001 turned out to be an emotive dance floor record that touches several different modes within the spectrum of underground dance music. From the straight forward 303-anthem "Break Module" to the uplifting yet deep, Chicago-ish tones of "Path Of Yours" - Adryiano's "Default EP" is set to unfold just in time for the cold, dark days before Christmas.

Full color inner sleeve with 3D art by Kanika Tupathi. Vivian is a great acid banger with high frequency Jupiter 8 eruptions and a
simple 'raga style' melody.

Vivian is a great acid banger with high frequency Jupiter 8 eruptions and a simple 'raga style' melody. The track was made after the last tour was cancelled due to health problems, and was finished after Charanjit Singh passed away. Vivian means alive and is dedicated to Charanjit Singh and the special vibe he and Thee J Johanz had together on stage. The B side a 16 and a half minute take from a live show at the magical Alsisar Palace in Rajastan, India. It's an ever progressing improvised journey, the result of over forty shows played in the US, Europe and Asia. Charanjit Singh is improvising on the Jupiter, like he did on his proto-acidhouse album in 1982, and Thee J Johanz is jamming with the 808 and 303 like he used to do, back in the heyday of acidhouse.

Lonja aka Leonid Weidemann uncovers his first vinyl release on our Label. His EP 'Uppers & Downers' is made up of 4 banging tracks. Each of them will hit the sweatspot at the right time.

Limited copies, vinyl only. Portugal's Helena label continues its run of deep-ocean expeditions with the latest release from Dutch producer Aleks.

QUIET DAZE is the softest cut, synth washes and dubbed out voices suspended over an all-enveloping bass pulse.

Choppy electro beats form the backbone for MOST U P as metallic notes and percussive hits spin off into the stereo field.

Beatdown is the name of the game on the flip, as PLUS and VIOLENT/MIND GAMES both ride a 4/4 thud under trip-inducing hats and dubby textures. Aleks' music is mirrored in detail by the beautiful sleeve art - this EP is the full package.

We are really proud and honored to present ESPECTRUM, a year-long effort to put together a compilation of the best dub techno. The idea was simple, but ambitious: ask some of our favorite artists for one track to epitomize dub techno—the style of music we've loved and continued to develop since our birth as producers and a label. With a very precise idea of what we wanted to collect, the compilation was carefully built with hypnotic, obscure, dense, and magical sounds with an eternal hook. These are the kind of tracks that will never lose their appeal, because they go above and beyond labels, styles, and trends, resisting the passage of time. After the first tracks starting coming in, the idea grew more and more special, and the concept even stronger. We knew we were onto something really big. And, finally, here it is.

Having opened Feel My Bicep up for the first time with their previous 12' from New Zealand duo Sandboards, Bicep now welcome another new signing into the fold in the form of Brassica.
In an extension of a bond established on a Civil Music record released back in May of 2016 which saw Bicep remix 'Tears I Can't Afford' - Brassica presents his 'Time Tunnel' EP, a rich and varied 4-track record spanning Acid, Breaks and balmy House Music.
Also included in the package is an edit from The Sphinx and a remix from 'mysterious hardware fiend' Roy of the Ravers who follows up 12's on Acid Waxa and The Centrifuge with a tough, tumbling take on the title track that caps off another solid addition to the Irish dou's evolving imprint.

Intergalactic Lover is the first release on CPU's new 7" vinyl series and is the debut single from Daddy Long Legs aka Tom Parker, one half of City Guys and all round 'FM' synthesis maestro extraordinaire.

Side A's 'Intergalactic Lover' is new wave Kraftwerkian electro funk, with added vocal not too dissimilar to the great Edwyn Collins circa Orange Juice.

Side B's 'The Club' could be mistaken for a 1980's breakdance anthem, poised with casio orchestral stabs, scribble scratches and electro bass designed for the dancefloor, more specifically poppin' and lockin'.

Please note, this is a limited white vinyl, white label 7" single.
