Tiger recitative was originated in Ethiopian desert in 1967, add a dash of dub to it, a pinch of noise and you got yourself a strange brew of the Holy Owl. Served on the side with remixes from Alexei Nikitin (Gost Zvuk), Nocow and The Pocket Acid Edition.

Brassica returns with a brand new 12' single for Civil Music that includes new track'Get Down' and a remix of 'Tears I Can Afford' from Belfast duo Bicep.

'Get Down' arrives simultaneously with 'Nature Isn't Mute', a deluxe extend- ed edition of 'Man Is Deaf', the producers debut album praised by Dazed & Confused and De:Bug and nominated for Album of the Year at the DJ Mag awards. 'Nature Isn't Mute' completes the Terence McKenna quote the album was named after and contains 7 additional tracks.

On 'Get Down' Michael Wright shows he hasn't lost any of that Brassica mag- ic with a heady 6 minute workout. As the track sprawls and unfurls, various elements come in and out of play——hinting at the foundations of the Brassica sound——with Wright guiding the listener along for a joyous ride. The single is backed by a remix of album track 'Tears I Can Afford' courtesy of Belfast duo Bicep who embrace the occasion fully by extending the original to 8 min- utes and playing with its acid elements in ne fashion.

Happier in the shadows than under the glare of projectors, Brassica continues to re ne a unique sound and approach that has made him a favorite of your favorites.

Italian native, Christian Lisco is well known for having an extremely envious collection of vintage
synthesisers and drum machines housed in his basement.
It was there that four ridiculously special acid cuts that we are prone to immediately fall in love
with on rst reception.
"Your Joy' which sees the collaborative eorts of singer, Michael Cliord, evokes the feeling of the
early age of American House music.
The next set of tracks were treated with a surrounding of acid basslines and heavy drums. Mixed
live and directly recorded to tape.

Adonis' comically named "Endless Pokers" project is no joke, in fact, this is some serious Chicago ACID House!

Originally released in 1987 and featuring Adonis' trademark staccato drum machine rhythms, creeping acid lines and cowbells "The Poke" is a classic (Watch out for those vocal stabs too!).

All 3 mixes featured on this 12" bring something new to the table, twisting and turning that acid line into a frenzied buzz. This is pure old school business, Chicago style! Raw, simple box jams of the highest order! A definite essential, a record like this in the right hands can produce some devastating effects and still sounds incredibly fresh today.

Re-mastered, re-pressed and brought to you in conjunction with DJ International Records.

When your debut set on Pete Tong's Essential Mix starts with Masters At Work remixing Saint Etienne and ends with Kraftwerk, the tunes in the middle better hold their own. That was the challenge Mobilee head Anja Schneider set for herself on her recent addition to the legendary BBC radio program, and she delivered with the help of a debut from Maya Jane Coles, a classics from Underground Resistance, and an airing of her own latest, Jimmy,' which, with it's propelling conga loop and haunting organ climax, made for one of the most memorable moments of the two hour session. This success will be no surprise to anyone familiar with Schneider's history as a producer, club DJ and respected radio host, with her own Dance Under The Blue Moon program filling the Berlin airwaves since 200. And while she has been teasing us with Jimmy' since July (when it surfaced on her mix for John Digweed's Transitions podcast), the time as finally come for it appear in it's complete form, released on vinyl and digital as Mobilee141, with the moody acid house of Lovetube Thinking' on the flip. A solid one-two punch of a release that DJs can now use to open and close their own essential sessions.

Hello true believer. Our search for intelligent individuals continues. To find them we have devised a test. There are clues hidden inside the image, music, and vinyl. Find it, and it will lead you on the road to finding our message. We look forward to meeting the few that will make it all the way through.
Good luck.

Previously half of pseudo-kitsch acid-electro force Light Year, and now gone solo, Mikey Melas aka Jensen Interceptor joins the binary cataloguing CPU with a perfectly formed electro cut.

Any artist who samples Ghost in the Shell, arguably one of the greatest anime films of all time, are all right by us. Mikey does so to great effect on the big beat / trip hop tempo 'Model 2029', which sits alongside three unrelenting electro bass bin destroyers.

Mactavis being the toughest cut, utilising a fierce driving 808 with a robotic bassline interjecting throughout. Electro is often overlooked for the club but it's obvious this E.P. was designed from the ground up to smash a big room.

Jensen Interceptor - 'M' E.P.

Limited edition (300 copies worldwide) 12" vinyl in shrink-wrapped printed sleeve with paper inner. Includes Microbial, Minor Arc, mActavis and Model 2029.

So far the most "Punk" release in the borft catalog. This is the meeting between Johan Sturesson (KORD) and Petter Svensson (NEBULA). While Petter has his background as a punkrocker Johan has some years of experience in the Electronic vein this meeting result in a EBM/PUNK/TECHNO EP dirtier than ever.

Lehult is back on the roll after living the rockstar life that naturally follows a sold out debut release. But just like with sex and marriage, it's the second time that you really have to make count: after some overwhelming feedback for Lucky Charmz' 'Follow Me To Flottbek Falls' EP, Lehult returns with a follow-up that adds some spin to the curveball. The 'Let's Get Playa' EP introduces three core members of the Lehult crew: Liem (pictured on the cover, Gin&Tonic in hand), Eddie Ness and Johan Kaseta all take their shots in mixed couplets, delivering some machine driven, sunlit house with a refreshing, ice cold splash. 'Bassforce XXL' sets up the A-sides' sunrise beach vibe with an uplifting chord progression and a fruity, dynamic bassline - the kind that makes a musician bounce around his studio grinning sheepishly, transporting that same effect to the dance floor. Then, A2 'M-Trax", while revolving around the same sunlit feeling, plunges deeper with swirling birdsong melodies and raw, thumpin' drums'n'congas. Almost a rhythm track, its' simple yet challenging structure - emotive chords, a yearning for the held off bassline - creates an absorbed moment on the dancefloor. The title track 'Let's Get Playa' on the B-side sees Eddie team up with Johan Kaseta-who has already silently put out a limited cassette beat tape on Lehult and has become infamous for his wild one-deck DJ-Sets. 'Playa' is a seductive cut of low-slung breezy house that doesn't fail to surprise - before sending you driving into the sunset on your quad with the EP's extra-long, wavey outro.

Alex from Tokyo presents new label world famous debut release from Tokyo Black Star - Edo Express EP out in October, 2015


Paris-born, Tokyo-raised, New York-based international eclectic French DJ, music producer and sound designer Alex from Tokyo is very excited to announce the October 2015 launch of his record label 'world famous" with a new Tokyo Black Star EP (the first release in three years)!


The four different straight up house music club tracks here on the "Edo Express EP" showcase Alex from Tokyo's versatile and funky DJ style and come from a very special fun jam session that took place in January 2015 at Isao's Tokyo Black Star and phonon studio with the help of their great musician/analog equipment otaku friend Kenichi Takagi leading to Kenichi san officially becoming the third Tokyo Black Star member, bringing along some of his favorite old, new and handmade (modular) synths into the mix.


The stunning artwork for the release is done by long-time collaborator the very talented New York based Japanese artist Tomokazu Matsuyama, who has been creating the Tokyo Black Star visual identity since their first release on Innversions in 2005.


Working in harmony with music partner and sound/mastering engineer Isao Kumano in Tokyo, Alex from Tokyo formed Tokyo Black Star in 2000 while remixing Big Moses feat. Jan'elle's house classic "For you" for Kerri Chandler's label Bassmental records. Since then Tokyo Black Star has released five EPs including the first-ever release on high-profile Berlin label Innversions (the "Psyche Dance EP," 2005) and their full length debut album 'Black Ships' (April 2009, also on Innervisions), an EP on DJ Deep's Deeply Rooted House label and remixes for artists like Tony Allen (P-Vine records Japan, 1999), Carl Craig (Psyche 'Neurotic Behavior' on Planet E, 2011), Phenomenal Handclap Band (Tummy Touch Records, 2013), Bing Ji Ling (Lovemonk), and Kuniyuki (mule music), and among others.


Always looking for new challenges and sonic adventures, in the summer of 2010 the Tokyo Black Star duo were joined by top Japanese audio professionals at Isao's studio in Tokyo, leading to the creation of a new 'revolutionary' audio brand called phonon , which makes exceptional pro-audio equipment for studio and DJ use.


Tokyo Black Star's last release, in 2013, was a special musical contribution called "X" for a unique celebratory 10th anniversary compilation for Yohji Yamamoto and Adidas fashion brand Y-3. Alex from Tokyo co-directed the exclusive compilation


world famous will be presenting a wide range of dance floor and eclectic music by Tokyo Black Star, Alex from Tokyo's collaborative projects with other artists and his affiliated japanese and international connections! Mastering for all releases will be done by Isao Kumano.

"Land Of Confusion" is one of the most seminal Chicago Acid House records.

Originally released in 1987 on Bam Bam's Westbrook imprint and produced by the legendary Armando Gallop it marked the start of a recording career that would make him a household name among House and Techno aficionados. To say "Land Of Confusion" is raw is an understatement, it consists of a handful of elements but it's impact when played is incendiary. Armando's TB-303 acid lines sound possessed and unruly while the primitive drum machine patterns stagger around the track giving it a feeling of out of control urgency, a truly Lo-fi piece of crazy Chicago acid that was popular with many DJ's in Chicago (Including Ron Hardy at the Muzic Box) and around the world and continues to be influential today. An essential record for any discerning House or Techno fan.

This official re-issue 12" features all 3 original versions of "Land Of Confusion" and the original Westbrook label art. All tracks have been re-mastered and fully licensed in conjunction with Bam Bam / Westbrook Records, Chicago USA.

The next release on Diagonal comes from Streetwalker, the duo of Beau Wanzer and Elon Katz.
Titled Ooze, it's a shadowy, mechanistic dancefloor crusher, originally released as a limited
cassette single on the Catholic Tapes label in 2011. The 12' release for Diagonal is the first time this
sinister creature has been pressed to vinyl, now also accompanied by a remix from Silent Servant.
Following on from recent Diagonal album releases from Death Comet Crew and Russell Haswell, the Ooze 12' marks Streetwalker's first release since 2013's Future Fusion, their acclaimed, mind bending debut album of acid jams and scorched post-punk, released through the Minimal Wave-affiliated Cititrax label. Outside of Streetwalker, both members of the duo are known for their thrillingly brusque, exploratory transmissions: Katz is the mind behind White Car, while Wanzer has released music through Ron Morelli's L.I.E.S, both solo and with Mutant Beat Dance.Recorded, processed and overdubbed using an arsenal of hardware, including a rare E-mu modularsystem and a home-built light-sensitive synthesiser, it builds across twelve minutes from woody drums and spooked whispers into a disorienting, writhing mass of snakelike acid lines and corrosive noise. For his Silent Servant remix, Juan Mendez keep the atmosphere of the original intact — all grubby, soot-caked textures and a flat thud of a four-four rhythm — but sets it amid delicate drifts of melody, finding brief flashes of warmth amid the shade.

Limited White Vinyl Pressing!
For the third release on De:tuned we proudly present The Kosmik Kommando AKA Mike Dred. Mike hardly needs an introduction; considered as one of the masters of the Roland TB-303 Mike has been releasing records under various aliases since the early 90s. He has recorded for high profile labels such as R&S and Rephlex as well as his own Machine Codes label. Together, with Aphex Twin, Mike was behind the Universal Indicator releases which are among the most collectible and sought after records in techno history.

De:tuned has worked closely with Mike to develop an 8 track project that gives props to the American Psychologist Timothy Leary and his proposed theory of 'The Eight-Circuit Model of Consciousness'. This model describes 8 circuits of information that operate within the human nervous system. Each circuit refers to a different sphere of activity, enhanced by experimentation with a particular substance. Each circuit also represents a higher stage of evolution than the one before it and the higher the circuit, the fewer the people have activated it as the higher four circuits exist for those who migrate to outer space and live extraterrestrially.

The 8 Models are applied to the track titles that present a varied collection integrating acid house, techno, electro and rave culture.

3 of the tracks on offer here were written exclusively for Mike's live performance at the De:tuned 'Meeting of Minds' event in June 2012, which was Mike's first full live show in 3 years.

This 8 track project will be available on limited 180 gr white double vinyl with label and sleeve artwork by Mike himself. Stay Tuned!

Next up on Titanic City is Stephen Lopkin, serving up five new cuts on The Strategic Reserve EP Stephen is a massive talent and has really turned heads over the last couple of years with releases on M>O>S, Bokhari Records, and RAW Tools. Needles to say we're delighted to have Lopkin on board. Stephen makes his mark with a release firmly influenced by his passion for Detroit and Chicago's House and Techno scenes. It's a release layered with strings, soaring pads and an abundance of hats and snares.. everything we love at Titanic City.
There's a rough and raw DIY feel to this music that makes it jump out of the speakers and arrest your attention, as is always the case with Titanic City. Stand up pay attention.

300 COPIES NO DIGITAL RELEASE

Alden Tyrell hooked up with Mike Dunn for some new work!. A golden combination which already worked out great as we learned from the heavy remix Tyrell did for the Murphy Jax & Mike Dunn collaboration (Its The Music - Cat# CJFD06). Tyrell always jamming and playing around with his synths had some tracks inspired by early Mike Dunn songs. So the obvious happened... the hooked up for some appropiate vocals and here it is....''Touch The Sky''! A peak time acid monster with Mike's vocal chant in the style of his classic MD3 projects. Gerd is on remix duty here and delivers a killer remix with a more traditional Chicago groove and build up. Clone head honcho Serge had some studio time with Tyrell for a dub mix. The Serge & Tyrell dub mix turned out a bit wild and became a classic piece of piano and dx bass driven Chicago house music with stuttering vocal samples and a acidic synth line. Another strong Clone Jack For Daze!!

Second outing on the label for Berlins Anno Stamm (nee Anstam). A relentless three tracker kicking off with the acid stylings of "Noone Else" to the relentless shakings of "Charge it to My Account" and closing it out by taking it down a notch with the lush calling of "Sirens"

With "Closer" Masterton debuts on Blackfoxmusic's 19th release (BFM019). "Closer" is a warm track with a deep groove and beautiful melodies. It relates to living in a long distance elationship and overcoming a lack of proximity. Robert Babicz (Babiczstyle, Systematic, Bedrock Records) created an incredible remix. He used lots of the original melodies, combined them with new elements, added rolling drums and a thick bassline to give the
track the extra drive. His remix became a constant part of his live sets and was debuted with great response at Grelle Forelle (Vienna) and Ritter Butzke (Berlin). Channel X (Stil vor Talent) remixed "Closer" into a pretty cool and clubby deep house track. You can feel their Berlin origin when listening to the groovy bassline with variations of the melody. Finally the breaks capture the mood of the dissonant sounds from the original track. Supported and played by: Dj T / Danny Howells / Solomun / Âme / Martin Böttcher / Dj Felipe / Slam / Tony Rohr / Sasha / Robert Grant...Reviews: Dj Mag / De:Bug / Faze / Resident Advisor / Ibiza Voice...

Conforce alias Vernon Felicity with his first Delft EP, heavy with Detroit leanings and acid crackles.

Debut release represents raw, emotive expressions that work both on large systems or on a solitary midnight drive. With tinges of acid, dub and classic gear sounds, the Sweaty Fingers EP perfectly frames the artist's and our label's musical interpretations. The remix by Bostonian John Barera provides a super heady 909 stomper while keeping the atmospheric elements of the original.
About the label
The bi-product of collective experiences in clubs, dusty basements, and on public transportation, Chem Club Records is a label showcasing the parallel relationship between introverted House/Techno and dance floor chaos. Greatly influenced by time spent roaming parties in New Jersey, Amsterdam, Brooklyn and the Bay Area, Chem Club holds no allegiance to one place as we try to capture the meaning of the modern wandering Techno nomad and the sounds that fill their heads.
About the artist
Bosnian born, and having moved to the US as a teenager, Maroje T is now a Brooklyn based artist pushing hardware driven music from his Greenpoint, Brooklyn studio. Shaped by early Metal before stepping into Techno, he is 1/3 of the Remedy crew hosting various events around town for years. His current productions represents raw, emotive expressions that work both on large systems or on a solitary midnight drive. With tinges of acid, dub and classic gear sounds, the Sweaty Fingers EP perfectly frames the artist's and our label's musical interpretations. The remix by Bostonian John Barera provides a super heady 909 stomper while keeping the atmospheric elements of the original.

New old school inspired sludge madness. "Crunching" is a toss to a time ruled by pianos, lush pads & breakbeats. "Knock It Off" features something a bit more industrial, drawing on 90s techno, this is a true dance floor burner.
