It's been two years since Tagwell Woods first appeared on W.T. Records. His rich and refreshingly unique techno style caught the ears of the faithful. Finally, finally, the Londoner is back on vinyl with six pieces of his original brand of machine music. And the wait is worth it. Tracks like "Christmas" and "Training" pulsate with feeling. Others like "Rabbit Society" and "Chance" build on that emotion. Crisp percussion and heartening strings are weaved as lush moments and textures unfurl. The 12" is incredibly deep and flooded with sentiment. But don't be mistaken into thinking Tagwell Woods deals in weight, instead it's his lightness of touch that sings. "Tied Waves" is fragile and delicate, whispering before blossoming into being. The finale, the beautifully uplifting "Velocity", has that same deftness. Mecca defies classification. Electronica. Techno. House. Acid. All are lovingly melted together to produce an absorbing and soulful second release, a release which is testament to the talent of this fledgling musician. Limited to 300 copies, 180 gr vinyl.

vinyl only !!

Drawing from its palette of Chicago House, Acid, Detroit House and Techno, this recently in 2014
established Berlin based record label DIZZY TUNES dedicates itself to pure analogue work on
vinyl only.
DJ Krime, who has forced people to the dancefloor for 25 years now, gives his debut on his label.
Being the first release, Dizzy001 follows the straight internal line offering four distinctive Chicago
House Tracks of whom one is a Remix; this time by none other than Chicago legend Tyree Cooper.
Support by:
Tyree Cooper, Jimpster, Gari Romalis, Luna City Express, Santos Resiak, Moritz Piske, Andre Gardeja, ...

Swinging from the chandelier and setting fire to the feast, our original raison d'etre is back to raise merry hell and we couldn't be happier as accessories to the crime. Ark was one of the biggest influences on Circus Company when it first formed from the freakier corners of the Paris scene, and since day one he has been a guiding force in maintaining an uncompromising attitude towards house and techno in all its most flamboyant forms. It has been some time since the Mr. Full Destructor graced our label, but he comes to us on a wave of productivity that has seen recent singles for Versatile and Thema boast developed studio skills clashing with the same punk spirit that has always forced Ark to stand on his own for the safety of the other kids on the dancefloor. On this new EP, Guillaume Berroyer has never sounded so urgent, so demanding, and yet so in control of his creative powers. 'Hall Of Confusion' is a brutal call to arms that channels rolling breakbeat badness into a nerve-jangling alarm while the samples come flying thick and fast throughout the jam. As if to complete twist with your fragile state of mind, the track's successor 'Tirés Par Les Chevaux' employs a horse to drag you by the hair back into some refined beat-head shit (as La Funk Mob would say), calling to mind some of those early downtempo interludes you would find on Brif Records but still played out like a psychedelic doodle pad of ideas and samples. Never afraid to wave two irreverent fingers at the electronic music establishment (with the utmost respect behind it of course), 'Troll Of Detroit' comes to life on some romantic Motor City strings before mutating into a bastard child of the early days of the Belleville Three, still sounding inimitably like Ark.

There are some records that are not created only for the digital market, and this new Vinyl release on Extravaganza contains a selection of the 4 best tracks in our first year of activity!! Expect to hear music from the hands of Luna City Express & SIS / Julian Perez & Loquace / our label boss Taster Peter and finally the mighty Seph from Argentina!!! This release is GOLD.

It's with great pleasure that we offer up our next release from Dez Williams. One of our favourite producers of recent years through releases on standout UK labels like SCSI-AV, Acruacree, Ai and many others, we had noticed an absence of new 12"s since his storming doublepack on Patrick Pulsinger's Cheap imprint in 2008. So to put things right, here's an end to the Dez Williams vinyl drought - 4 tracks of bonafide Holyhead magic to rock the floor.
Starting with the melting frequencies of 'Underground Persistent', acid is in control. Like an Emmanuel Top and Kosmik Messenger track if they'd ever collaborated, this combines swingy 808 drums and masterful Detroit strings to a searing acid-line that keeps going and going. Switching things into more straight-ahead acid territory on A2, 'Untitledacid 6' has pretty much one intention and that's to jack hard. Perhaps one of Dez's heaviest techno tracks to date, it's a perfect snapshot of many hedonistic nights spent at The Orbit throughout his formative techno years.

'Freedom' on the flip is a dense techno workout that joins a strong looped vocal and distorted percussion to swamping sound fx, in a rough but funky way. This time an expert pad progression brings the track to an unexpected but fitting finale. Finally, and showing what a complete supremo he is where dark floor-friendly electro is concerned, Dez turns in a blistering cut of sci-fi electro with 'Courtesy Call'. We could have made a number of records with the amount of great electro tracks that Dez does, but in this case we just picked our favourite of the bunch.

Little do people know that Coober Pedy is an opal rich town buried deep within the red and arid outback of South Australia. Lewie Day (aka Tornado Wallace) and Tom Moore may be from Melbourne, but the duo make up the Coober Pedy University Band, coining the term "Krautback" to describe this Moon Plain EP. Drawing upon italo synths and mid-tempo Balearica as inspiration, the first release comes in 10" form via Soft Rocks' Kinfolk label. The reverb washed Australian crooner Chet Faker appears on the title track "Moon Plain" alongside heavy struck piano chords, while "Sentenced Beyond The Seas" is a flow of groggy atmospheres and downtempo beats. "Oblong" is the the EPs stand out italo track with short bass arpeggios a highlight, while Soft Rocks "Acperience" mix of "Moon Plain" takes on an acidic and space western theme.

For its third release, French indie label Rave Or Die introduces two dys-topian & dark tunes with haunting atmospheres from Drvg

Cvltvre (Viewlexx, Snug Life, Shipwrec) & Umwelt (New Flesh Records, Rave Or Die, Drivecom). A serious release for smoking

dancefloors. Now, you have a choice... Rave Or Die !

M A N I K returns to Ovum with In Walks Bourbon! A long-standing veteran of Josh Wink's Ovum imprint, the 'In Walks Bourbon' EP marks MANIK's fifth offering to the label and maintains the high quality we've come to expect from an artist who is comfortably at the top of his game right now. The EP consists of a trio of raw, chunky, house-influenced cuts which show M A N I K diving back in to the underground sounds of his New York roots with a taste of Chicago. The A side track 'Wink KD' lures the listener in with its catchy groove and hypnotic vocal sample. The breakdown sees the track take a turn as Chris introduces and infectious acid bassline, perhaps an ode to label owner Josh Wink. On the B side we find the title track 'In Walks Bourbon' Chris smooths things out here, coming with a more head bobbing groove. Don't let that fool you as the track builds and builds with a rolling bass coming in that takes the track into overdrive. The EP closes on the jacking 'House Cut 2, Chris keeps the energy up with catchy synth stabs and various vocal samples. The snappy percussion keeps the track driving leading to a frenetic build.. An perfect finish to an extremely versatile EP; there's undoubtedly something for everyone in this package.

4 raw stripped down Chicago acid cuts from the legendary producer Steve Poindexter.

Originally released in 1989 on Housetime. Now officially re mastered and re released for 2015 dancefloors.

Early support:
Snowball (Exploration/Rinse): "Very nice release! Especially B1!"
Oxyd (Technorama/Rinse/Sonotown): ""Well done and thanks! I'm a fan of A1 and B1, full support!"
Code (Subtle Audio): "liking those tracks - the techno bits are sweet, just my style. The B Side is growing on me too"

Chaotic, acidic jack tracks are the order of the day here, Dancer aka Sidney Winters, dropped this obscure bomb on Trax in the peak year of 1987. Both sides are mixed by the late, great Frankie Knuckles and have all the trademarks of his touch; tough drum machines, Italo inspired melodies and thundering bass-lines. These monster tracks sound absolutely massive and will surely do damage when dropped today.

"Am A Dog" is the A-side and is the more melodic of the two cuts, featuring triggered dog-like vocal stabs, epic, soaring synths and a repeated voice floating in and out of the mix, while on the B-side the descriptively titled "Boom Boom" does exactly that, a descending, aggressive acid line drives the track with some reverbed-out drums and a disjointed female voice repeating "Boom boom goes my heart", deep, dark and heavy!

Both tracks have been re-mastered and re-pressed for the very first time since their original release in 1987 in conjunction with Trax Records, and have been made available again with original label artwork. Essential!

Very Limited stock of the Hardfloor classic with a killer Josh Wink remix

Since 2004 Chris Wood has been working as a successful producer and remixer for labels including Souvenir, Below, Kindisch, MurMur, be_chosen or levelNONzero and in 2009 he started working with his long-time friend, fellow producer and co-owner of Freebase Records in Frankfurt, Meat (Carsten Schuchmann). Coming just a short time after the release of his collated singles collection, Retrospective, the first track on this new 12 from Chris Wood & Meat comes courtesy of deep house don, Mr. G. His remix provides a sparse take on the original 'Cock Robin,' jacking straight ahead into a hard-hitting house rhythm, complete with finger-clicks and vocal stabs. A definite dance-floor roller. On the flip, the duo have provided a brand new cut, 'Tony's Pipe,' which rattles with drilling percussion and soaks itself in a modulating, acid-tinged synth line, all built around emerging, muffled vocal samples.

Collecting orders for repress.
Two true acid burners from Alden Tyrell! Each track is accompanied by a remix - one from label boss LA-4A and a floor-storming jacker from Vin Sol!

Somewhere deep in the Andromeda Galaxy lies the mysterious planet Wasteland. Little is known. Though, rumor says it inhabits lifeforms from all over the Laniakea supercluster. These lifeforms have only one thing in common: on their home planet they are part of the Mutant Society. As an exclusive product for members of the Mutant Society on Earth, Radio Matrix recorded the auditory data from its latest visitor, Delta Funktionen. Spread over 4 EP's and compiled on this cd, it tells the intense story of his journey towards Wasteland.

Following eight years running the EevoNext imprint with Stefan Robbers, Rosedale Records aims to showcase hand-picked producers sharing sides with remixes by techno's establishment and some of Estroe's new discovered talents via her own producer advice company. But there's no better way of getting down to business with a pound of no-nonsense, signalling of intent from the boss herself, a nice means of getting the ball rolling and to set future contributors on the Rosedale path.

First up, 'I See You', which has all the welcome of a sniper looking at you through a set of crosshairs. A glowering riff wades into alien frequencies and floating signals caught in Estroe's bass-mounted operation. For all it's worth as a piece of razor sharp techno, it still shows plenty of energetic, accessible bounce in its hydraulics, and ability to bring tension to arenas twice over where the pressure of the kick drum undercuts shadowy, ambiguous shades.

Re-serviced by Deadbeat, the Canadian Scott Monteith speckles his nickel-plated pistons with dirt, double-times the original's riff and drives home a metronomic, tech-energised raider of the dancefloor. Making the engine purr, clamping the joint down, and then adding fuel to the fire with an injection of acid, this is the sweet spot for those who measure track desirability by the amount of sweat they're swimming in by the end of it.

Dragged along by an 8-bit-themed wash of addictively Sheffield-born bass, 'I Wish' is set in the long tradition of dance music where airy, twinkling keys are pitched against what is a savage bottom end. Dreamy clubbing in many ways because of its trance veneer, it shies away from an ambient tag by making you think you can sail away, before you realise you're knee deep in beats that develop the bump of a cuddly monster. What's more, it epitomises the new label's ethos of supplying tracks that are 'moody and deep, but always with an energetic edge.'

Nadia Struiwigh is one of Estroe's regular partners on the platters, and her remix reiterates the package's demeanour of being granite-jawed and something to swerve in a dark alley. Despite being dominated by a kick drum leaving bruises on your ears, it fits the profile of the strong silent type in parallel to the gentle giant of the original, patiently lying in wait and unperturbed by a stretch of synth flicks looking to find a break in its defence. Struiwigh is resourceful with her power, offering wide open spaces so as to maximise its stark noise, and chiselling away into the night like a skilfully sharpened sledgehammer.

The first offering on BoomChik comes from N & N Tracks. Produced by Neville Watson and Nigel Rogers (aka Perseus Traxx) in an impromptu recording session lasting just one afternoon, the love of classic sounding Chicago tones and feelings are immediately present. The sound is that of effect drenched raw machinary, hammering out beats and
synth parts intended to transport you on the dance floor, all beaten out of the machines live to tape with Neville and Nigel just performing the occasional edit here and there.

Yes - This is actually happening ! Legendary Acid House/Hip House innovator Fast Eddie's masterpiece 'My Melody' gets pressed to 12. To say this track is rare is an understatement. It never recieved a 12 release (unless you include a very rare bootleg in 1988) and only ever appeared cut very quietly on 1989's 'Jackmaster Phuture Trax' album.

Well now we are very proud to present to you remastered and cut super loud for the first time ever, this amazing track.. But that's not all !! Also included are two further album cuts hand selected for their squirming Acid lines and the fact that they've also never been available on 12 Vinyl before (only on LPs) . Then what better way to round it all off than with the freshly remastered banger 'Hip House' that sees Eddie get lyrical over one of the most suggestive 303 lines ever. Don't sleep on this one !!

For his debut on Spectral Sound, San Francisco DJ/producer Matrixxman presented a strong and versatile four­track EP, Amulet.

StuxNet follows the futuristic path Matrixxman has carved out with two new acid-leaning cuts: StuxNet I and StuxNet II paired with two Amulet EP stand-outs, Venetian Mask and The Caravan, remixed by Hieroglyphic Being and Silent Servant.

It's been a long while. We shouldn't have left you without a dope beat to step to. Tird is, as the name might imply, the third vinyl from the Swedish duo Kondens. The first two were out 2010 and 2011 on Kontra-Musik and included remixes by Chain Reaction's very own Substance and Berghain resident Norman Nodge. Since then, Kondens has slowed down the tempo a bit, both production wise as well as musically. Andreas Tilliander has focused on his TM404 and Mokira projects but did a rare release as Tilliander for Borft Records too. Stefan Thor is currently working on the followup for his Folie moniker which gave birth to two albums in the beginning of this decade. Slammin glam techno!

Part 2, bringing even more future jackers and deep & deeper techno tracks! 'If I have to live there... you have to drug me...'
