Markus’s productions and DJ sets bear the traces of his musical evolution, from the uplifting vibes of classic house to the crisp precision of underground techno. „My life is about dancing, grooves, and music,“ he says. „Great music should get you in the mood, without you even realising it. That’s what I want to do.“

His new EP ‘I Don’t Blame You‘ accompanied by a remix from Djebali contains 2 vinyl only tracks.

Mugwump's debut album, « Unspell » has recently
received serious accolades in the music press, from the

underground answer to Daft Punk » by German

Play House) & Marcos Cabral (L.I.E.S), exceptionally
reuniting here for a big Mood2Swing revival moment,
recalling the pioneering duo at their hypnotic best. Eskimo
Twins stay faithful to the original while injecting some
London acid chug and that ALFOS flavor while Mugwump
finally rewrites his killer original with fellow partner DC
Salas into an arpeggiated disco-techno monster (digital-

package. Early support by Andrew Weatherall, Sean
Johnston, D'Julz, Erol Alkan & Jamie Jones.

This milestone 12" sees the imprint tap Canadian beat smith ckb, who delivers an intimate and groovy affair entitled "Round-Robin". Now based in Leeds, the Canadian has spent over a decade exploring both contemporary and left field production techniques. Working meticulously to strike a healthy balance between the two that delivers on the dancefloor. ckb certainly accomplishes this across the EP, as the youngster fires up with 4 distinctive cuts that are energized by complex rhythmic elements and heady atmospheric tones. A well deserved feature for the Canadian who is a perfect addition to the Modeight family.

After a relatively long break Jaffa Surfa makes his return with a new release that is a bit more raw thus shifting the sound of Tape Hiss into the same direction. In comparison with his previous releases on labels like Bosconi Extra Virgin, All Inn Records and Houseworx he is making an effort to explore new territories with 'Psy Lance EP' while staying true to his trademark housey sound. Considering all the musical styles that Jaffa Surfa is taking inspiration from (from the soul/funk/disco trio, through all shades of house music and all the way up to techno) it doesn't come as a surprise to see him churning out productions in various styles even within one release. The rolling yet deep 'Psy Lance' complements the playful and trippy 'Bazz' nicely just as the beatless DJ-tool 'Preacha Bonus'.

The second wax on Nightflight Records contains tracks from Mystic Future (Yannick Robyns & Charlie Levan, Housewax) and Mariska Neerman (Planet E, Semantica). Derek Carr (Subwax excursions, Ferox, Craigie Knows…) shows his musical brilliantness by delivering two superb remixes. Mystic Future’s “Break The Cycle” starts with breaky beats and a trippy, deep pad building up the tension till the 4/4 beat and wobbling baseline kick in creating a dancefloor filler tune. Derek Carr proves that white men can funk: his remix of “Break The Cycle” will keep these asses moving with this hi-tech funk monster! Mariska Neerman’s “Organic Depths” shows that techno can be funky by mingling stomping beats with funky synth stabs. Derek Carr takes “Organic Depths” to a deeper level by reworking to an electrofunk killer track without losing touch with the original.

Tied is back for another vinyl only release. This time with three original grooving tracks from Sakro (Half Baked/Raum/Bon Vivant) and a deep remix by label head Max Jacobson. Universal Glory is for the dark late night hours, while Where R U and Delirium showcase Sakro’s signature sound with rolling bass lines and hypnotic grooves. Max Jacobson’s remix takes you on a deep galaxy ride while keeping some of the core elements from the original.

Sascha Dive was last spotted on Bondage-Music earlier this year with the deep hypnotic pulses of ‘Dark Night’ on ‘Bondage Games 5’. So it’s fitting he returns with ‘Detroit Sunrise’ and, as sure as day follows night, it’s every bit as deep, pulsing and hypnotic as you’d expect from the Frankfurt craftsman… 

His first full EP for the Leipzig label, we open with real talk. ‘Detroit Sunrise’ warms up with broad, swinging drums, rippling textures and a crucial spoken word sample every single one of us should consider. It sets the scene for two classic Dive deep adventures as both ‘Dub Chronicles #1’ and ‘Dub Chronicles #2’ both roll out with subtlety and understatement. Layered, absorbing and endless; timeless tools made for those deep mix moments of magic. 

Last but not least, we end on an upbeat. ‘Ghostdancer’ takes more of a sprightly, light-footed note with an upward-spiralling arpeggiated riff, gentle ebb and flow chords and a light peppering of cosmic flurries. Ghoulishly good. Like all things by Dive and Bondage-Music. Don’t get tied down, get tied up…

Limited Coloured 180g Vinyl Reissue (250 copies vinyl only). German Label Bondage-Music return with a vinyl only Release, comprising four original compositions from Sascha Dive, Tuccillo, NTFO and James Dexter.

The fifth release of Lyon's imprint Blue Night Jungle welcomes a powerfully rising artist that have been close to the label for a long time now. Operating a wild blend between his lebanese origins and influences and his love for slow tempo and heavy EBM tracks, Arabian Panther is a promising producer of the newcoming french electronic scene, assuming a dark anonymousness behind a keffieh he never leaves. He delivers here 4 strong tunes inspired by traditionnel arabic musics, the love of Middle-eastern cultures and the necessity of empowering women over there. "Heart Filled With Sand" is his very first EP to be released.

Following his beautiful ‘Detroit Sunrise’ EP on the label last year, the inimitable Sascha Dive returns to Bondage Music once again for another deep frequency encounter.

The safe word is bass as Sascha picks up where he left us with two ‘Dub Chronicles’ tracks on the previous release. Now comes the third; a lavish, unhurried exploration ‘Dub Chronicles 3’ lights the fire with hazy, hypnotic charm and a spoken word well known to those familiar with the foundations.

What follows is a trip that grows in intensity and emotions. ‘Cornerstone’ is a beautiful 11pm track; fleet of foot in the kick department and arms aloft in the vibe department. Total elevation. ‘Ancient Tribal Drums’, meanwhile, takes us much deeper into the night. That rolling conga line will tie you up just the way Bondage likes it while the dubby echoes provide sense-tingling relief… Before the finale takes us to even dreamier heights. Living up to its name, ‘It’s A Groove’ brings the elements of the whole EP together; the dubby hypnosis, the warm, driving beats and that unique sense that you’re not quite tied into any reality while Sascha plays. The chronicles continue…
