Sintex Bortexx a fan of electronic programming.
Great cultivator of the old school music , presents an excellent track full of strength and powerful bass, with touches of acid reinforcements with fantastic samples vocal , creating an excellent climate for the dance floor.

Jamal Moss, aka Hieroglyphic Being, returns for a new second album on Soul Jazz Records, after last year's debut 'The Acid Documents', this time under the name Africans with Mainframes.
Hieroglyphic Being and fellow Chicago producer Noleian Reusse have been releasing music under the name Africans with Mainframes for over 15 years now, ever since their debut on Hieroglyphic Being's own Mathematics Recordings label in 2005. 'K.M.T.' is the debut album from the group, a collage of apocalyptic Chicago acid meets industrial and transcendental post-house machine funk. Both intense and unique, the album of forward-thinking, experimental, boundary-pushing Afro-futurist electronic music shows why Hieroglyphic Being is regarded as one of the most serious purveyors of experimental black music today. You can't stop the prophet!
Born and based in Chicago, Moss's music embodies two of the cultural foundation blocks of the city's musical lineage, that of Chicago's original Acid House sound (c. 1986), that of Frankie Knuckles, Phuture, Marshall Jefferson et al, alongside a rigorous experimental sound searching that taps into the cosmic musical lineage of pioneering artist Sun Ra whose Arkestra landed and was based in the city from 1946-61.
Available as both a very limited 1000 double-LP and 1000- tip-on hard Japanese card style CD, including cover art by Paolo Parisi (the Italian designer of John Coltrane graphic novel and our own Acid & Mysterons releases).

Our next big release at Bad Barbie, going out on digital and 12 inch, comes by the hand of Aldo Cadiz itself, but this time partnered with Kareem Cali. These two made a fantastic three track ep called Monita EP. The first track Monita presents a solid base created with a classic tech style and an extremely groovy bass line. Full of small arrangements and a crazy vocal line, this tracks its perfect for any club dj. The second track Bonita, is the one with the more old school vibe, from the bass line to the main acid synth, which goes evolving softly with a filter during the track to generate the needed tension. All this with a strong tech groove to follow the step of this solid ambience created by the acid synths. The last track Moni, also has many techno and acid elements presents. We can perceive the techno soul mainly on the arrangement of the hi-hats and bass line, but the acid synth in triplet at the backend is what generates the crazy vibe and almost hypnotic feeling during the track, playing around with the volume of it. Definitely a fantastic release to add to any collection.

Amandra completes the Ahrpe series by releasing his first album. Swedish artist Evigt Morker joins the project with a punchy edit.

A rad split LP by The Friend (whose debut on the label was on DARK ACID V, is the founder and owner of How to Kill Detroit , as well as releasing great tunes under different names for labels like R&S apollo/ illian tapes/stylss/juke trax) and L/F/D/M (who killed it on his solo Clan Destine EP aswell as with releases on Optimo/CGI and Estactic, at the same time as releasing killer cuts with Dom ex from Factory Floor as Green Gums and Bronze Teeth)...FUCK SUNSETS and BALEARIC FISTING for all...
The Friend brings us 4 tracks of sludge techno straight from the source in Detroit, from the creeped out stylings of ROOM(S), the bleeped out techno of STAR, the menacing groove of BENT and pure bass with STRIPPING.
L/F/D/M (loves flacid disco muscle) drops 4 varied tracks for this, from the full on raging acid techno of BELTON, the intricate drones of DROME V II, creepy sex loops on 88 and the degraded synths of UNTRUTHS.

Following on from DJ Stingray's 2013 Weaponized EP (TSAR001), Swedish vererans Frak Step up for TSAR002, delivering a record of analogue black acid magic.

"Play It Say It is the name given to Seth Troxler's most 'no frills' label. The aim to outlet tried and tested bombs built strictly for the dancefloor and so far it's given us 12's from the likes of Leonardo Gonnelli, Steve Lawler, Butch and Clarian. Now - Seth readies the next installment on the label: 'The Acid' EP which comes as a sampler including tracks from returning artist The Mekanism as well as Ataxia and Giacomo & Michelangelo .
The Mekanism kicks things off with 'Lazy Night'. Having last appeared on Play It Say It in 2015 with his 'Acid Love' EP - he makes a vibrant return and drives a circling acid line through panned percussive flutters ahead of a manic breakdown guaranteed to send the floor into a frenzy.
The Detroit based Connaisseur, Thoughtless and Leftroom affiliates Ataxia then follow up with 'Afternoon Acid' - an urgent electro-tinged track packed with armoured drums and growling bass tones.
Giacomo & Michelangelo then rolls out 'Acid Tree' - a burning acid groove rife with more extended breakdowns and tight drum shuffles that make a fine addition to the record and cap off another certified coup for Play It Say It".

ADR is back and this time with help. House techno melodies and acid grooves.
Into the music..

Marshall Applewhite & Detroit jungle mainstay 8EN find common ground in old school acid house & hardcore, so the two have cleverly crafted a release that will slay any room it is played to. 1st of 2 singles.

Following last years Extended Versions 3, Barcelonian underground BLD hits us with a new EP straight to the Club. Two versions of the monstrously acid and beautiful dub building track Crawling on the A side and the epic break beat Twisted on the flip side. Limited copies.

Etcher's back on Abstract Acid and he's on fire! Essential stuff.

The "legend" of Sir Joe, from Chicago to The Hague, 303 bass lines, Juno's pads and big mama's speech samples. Powerful and danceable pack made up by six jackin' cosmic techno house tracks.

I LOVE ACID reaches number eight here with in-demand German producer Andreas Gehm at the helm. Four tracks of proper analogue acid gear, bassline music for dancefloors. This is buy-on-sight material, with all previous I LOVE ACID releases selling out in just days. As ever, hand-numbered and stamped heavyweight 12" vinyl, 303 copies only, no digital downloads, no represses.

Limited Orange Vinyl Pressing!

LIMITED PRE-RELEASE OF THE UPCOMING ALBUM "BASED ON ELECTRICITY"

70 minute Acid House mixtape. Mixed by Mantra (Bunker) Yellow C70 cassette in black laser cut package with laser etched TB-303 circuit diagram. Edition of 50 copies (we only have a limited amount!)

Shipwrec are opening 2016 with some acid cheer. Taking that iconic silver box and getting something new out of its aging circuitry is never easy, but with musical imagination it can be done. Bintus (Milo Smee) has been delivering inspired 303 bitterness for some while on his own Power Vacuum imprint. A powerhouse in electronics for decades, Smee has released as Kruton and Binary Chaffinch on a glut of labels like Dissident and Pure Plastic. He opens his Shipwrec account with Acid Shores. Low and levelled the tough mechanics of the title piece will leave speakers needing a specialist. Rasping rhythms follow as the coarse and corrupted form of "S.E.G." takes hold. Born somewhere between new beat and techno the track is emblematic of Bitnus' skill, skills fully on show for the final stomp. Twisting and writhing "Live Section #1" spits venom. Bass lines are blunted as fangs are bared in this fourteen minute epic of morphing serpentine synth chicanery.

Poker Flat continues to roar ahead into 2011 with a seriously jam-packed new compilation on CD, Vinyl and Digital, featuring only brand new and exclusive tracks entitled "Forward to the Past".

1x per customer!!

Slow Life finally get out the first release from their label, albeit not before the second one dropped! Skittering, Jersey-edged numbers sit alongside Juno-acid bangers and a wailing sax Detroit cut. Killer!

Dogmatik label owner Alex Arnout delivers a quality release with the Touch EP that includes a remix from Abe Duque.

In 1997 the Vienna, Austria based live act Syncmode was founded and formed by Bernd Rausch & Sascha Sadat Guscheh. Their first 2 EPs were self released between 2001-2003 and continue to play an important role in their reclusive production ethic. They continue collaborations with a close knit operation between 24seven and Breakin Stevens, which has directly triggered them to surpass the common duo and develop into a collective of changing members, which include the latest fixed members Christof Winkler and Sonny Blake. This EP is stripped down to a mix of live synthesis and heady synth-sync and machine drum trickery as it touches on past and future electronic music production techniques and solidifies these four tracks on a solid 12 Vinyl. Very Rare and limited! Due-Out-In-Summer-2015!

Another gem from the DJ International vaults... This time label owner Rocky Jones steps to the plate with 4 fresh acid house cuts from 1987. Re mastered from DAT and re released for 2014.

One of the rarest releases from DJ International with releases going for silly money on Discogs.

Finally Repressed!
A Series Of Shocks" is the second solo album from accomplished Berlin based producer Tobias Freund.

Continuing his exploration into "non-standard" electronic music, and expanding on the rich sound palette charted in his first LP, "Leaning Over Backwards" (2011, Ostgut Ton), this new chapter presents 10 versatile tracks taking us ever further into the purist, evolving sonic world of Tobias. A warm wash of synthetics begins it all with opener "Entire", a lush synthesiser sequence with additional contributions from NSI.'s Max Loderbauer, the track casually flaunts the sheer depth of sound and sense of space awaiting the listener. Varied, playfully contrasting moods then follow, with great finesse and an ever-present attention to detail. Freund's live shows, where the use of either the Roland TR-808 or TR-909 has become an integral part, have clearly played a role in the development of the Tobias. sound manifesto, and a large proportion of "A Series Of Shocks" has the 4/4 structure at its "Heartbeat" - indeed track two takes this as its namesake, in a submerged and tense exercise. Exceptions to that steady throb are also a joy to be found, with the frenetic techno syncopations of "Testcard" offering an early moment of broken-beat hypnosis, and later excursions into breaks like the euphoric "Cursor Item Only" or the brash dub of "If" prove there are indeed complex systems at work. Reaching for more energetic zones, fans of classic Tobias. jams like "Street Knowledge" or "Dial" will be pleased to find several well-honed and on-target club tracks, like the textural "Instant", "He Said", or the more meditative, but no less visceral "Ya Po". Snaking, arpeggiated synth patterns are Freund's go-to tool to build paranoid, yet at once funky and complex moments of mystery. Repeat listening will reward the listener by unearthing even more subtleties beneath these undulating elements. For an album produced largely with machines, the end result is in fact anything but rigid; a multitude of dynamics breathe life into every track. Synth elements swim in tension, build and recede with grace, and intertwine themselves into oblivion. Warm, natural drums state their presence, but do not overpower, letting the sum of the parts create the power, rather than merely the kick alone. The resonant sting of "The Scheme of Things", matched with its smooth undertones illustrates this perfectly.

With clarity of sound and a conscious mind to allow each element its place, Tobias. has found a maturity and a true art in controlling the lively dance of the constituent parts. A master at the mix-down, everything gels; nothing is left in-concluded. This sense of togetherness continues until the very final bars of "Fast Null" leaving us in a suspended moment of wonder, and appreciation.

What becomes apparent is that this album carries not only sixty-one and a half minutes of inventive contemporary electronic music, but also decades of experience, knowledge and passion for an artform that can only grow through the work of activists such as Tobias Freund.

MODERNISTA make a very welcome return after dropping their now classic debut 12 on us last year The architect of that raw late 80's machine music homage, Paul Bennett is back in charge here One of Paul's formative influences during his youth was the music made by the first wave of techno producers from Detroit. This release attempts to bring back some of the drama and pure funk of that sound. Electronic music for the head, heart and feet. Immaculately programmed Maydayesque drum machines, emotive & expansive pitch bent synths, thundering low frequencies and clanks galore. This is a supercharged rewiring of the Detroit blueprint in three startlingly well executed flavours Maintaining their commitment to the highest available quality, not only have the label drafted in the formidable sonics of Linkwood studios in Edinburgh, they've also engaged the peerless FST @ Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin to handle Mastering. This and a beautifully designed sleeve add up to a 'must have' for any serious fan of Modernist music

Two sides of the Chicago boy JON DOPPLER... Two of the tracks is pure Deep Electric housemusic! While the other two has a more free-style feeling but in space of course!! Dont miss this one...!

A true product of Toronto's thrillingly cosmopolitan Grooving Pot, this Chinese-Italian duo is quickly earning a rep for crafting highly effective acid tracks with just a hint of banger

pressed on heavy weight 180gr. black vinyl.

Till von Sein and Tigerskin are back with another EP full of funky dope twisted House Jamz. A perfect combination again of Tigerskin's tight production skills and Till's extraordinaire sample madness and funky arrangements. All four EP tracks reflect their love for soul joints and hip hop beats and breaks. Apart from the precise sampling going on here most parts were played and recorded live in Tigerskin's studio as are the rhodes keys and guitar parts topped off with analogue 909 and 808 beats only. Nothing but Cool Summer Jamz on this fine Record!

Continuing the mission to create dance music without samples, Ryan teams up Mike Dreg, & Peter Croce of Rocksteady Disco. 4 tracks of deep house, disco, & acid jaz.

first release of endless flight in 2015 is new artist in berlin.

our one of the most favorite new artist "matt karmil" intoroduced him to us and suggested to release
his music with the remix of himself.

we really love his unique house music and matt karmil remix is first class.

enjoy!!

Those who have been following the Cosmology series from its inception will no doubt be familiar with the ad hoc release schedule and will perhaps have grown accustomed to the diverse range of styles that their ep's encompass. Each one has trodden a different path in the pursuit of updating pivotal dancefloor memories and Cosmology volume four is the most ambitious reworking to date. The choice for this instalment's source material is a topical one as the influence here comes from Herman Sonny Blount, better known as the Free Jazz pioneer Sun Ra; this year has seen various celebrations to mark what would have been his 100th Birthday.



The poet & philosopher 's time on this planet was spent largely musing life in outer Space, fighting for better civil rights all whilst building a staggering catalogue of forward thinking music inspired by his radical ideas and a willingness to believe in the infinite possibilities for creating a better world to live in. He is credited as the inspiration behind the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) and BAG (Black Artists Group), both groups formed separately during the 60's in Chicago and St Louis to increase awareness and opportunities for creative black artists of the day.



Sun Ra was also one of the very first artists to see the importance of controlling the rights to his own music and his legacy lived on many decades later, loosely shaping the sound and mind-set of the early Detroit techno movement. If you recall that volume 3 focused on political firebrands The Last Poets, you will see that subjects that hold interest for the Cosmologist use their music to convey a particular world view, and who deserve acclaim not only for the body of work they created, but equally for the battles they fought beyond the confines of the studio walls.



The Cosmos and Moog loving Sun Ra, the original Cosmologist in every sense was so far ahead of his time but his spirit is fully reincarnated in Future Space. This reshaping stretches the bounds of what could be classed as an edit, but the Sun Ra ethos can be found indelibly embedded between the groove. The start point for this project was some snatched vocals and the saxophone from the 1972 opus, 'Space is the Place'.



The sax riff was originally recorded in a Quintuple (an unusual 5/4 meter, which anyone familiar with Sun Ra will attest that his chaotic band leading makes the edit process nigh on impossible). Ever up for the challenge, Laurie somehow managed to cajole this into a more friendly 4/4 time signature, which forms the off kilter and strangely hypnotic bassline that underpins the track, leaving just the faintest whisper of the original intact. This mid tempo burner increases the intensity as it progresses, taking its time to wrap itself round you, into your mind and once this haunting melody gets you, you stay got. Left of field adventurers will have fun trying testing their crowd with this, and figuring out what to file it under.



Flip it over and we return to more familiar soulful surroundings, albeit with a notably different sphere of influence and approach from the A side. This too retains that trademark Cosmologist otherworld spaciness and crate diggers and modern soul aficionados will identify the lush, swirling disko gem from Flowers, a hard to come by rarity, entitled For Real. Oozing soul from the opening bar, we have a track where very little reconstruction work was needed, so instead a nuanced yet restrained alteration is employed which retains all the class, and gives it a respectful re-calibration, opening it to a slightly wider range of DJ's to program.



This was recorded during the Christmas break of 2013, but sat in the can for almost a year awaiting another track to pair it up with. Two wildly contrasting edits that will add something to the ongoing what is a remix/ edit debate, this double header will be the perfect storm to bring in the new-year and comes beautifully presented on 180g heavyweight vinyl, with black inner and a spined manila sleeve.

we are very happy to announce the first single cut from the long awaited new album of gonno.

gonno is brightest hope of japanese underground house&techno scene.
he has released from international feel,beats in space and name a few and his "acdise#2" on international feel have been supported from laurent garnier,james holden,francois kevorkian,todd terje.

This release was born of a cross country trip with an 808 drum machine by Manchester and Sankey's Soap residents Jozef K and Winter Son as they join Perseus Traxx to hammer electricity out of machines With it's rimshots and claps and other transistor rhythms reverberating across vast distances of space, side A is stripped back and deep from the outset, pushing forward as scattered tones, arpeggiations and djointed voices leave their trails vanishing from perception. Side B tightens up from the previous reverbs and throws acid into the mix, as the two join Perseus Traxx and the sound becomes more raw and urgent as the three of them jam on their chosen machines.
