After a spot of chronological chaos last time out, Nado regain their numerical composure with a sumptuous four tracker from New York renaissance man Quinn Lamont Luke (Bing Ji Ling)
Loose and limber after a chakra aligning cover of Loose Ends for Phantom Island last summer, the Paqua frontman brings his linen suit and boat shoes to the good ship Nado, joining Moonboots and Boardman for a relaxed session of horizontal dancing. Taking a pleasant vacation from his trademark blue eyed soul, QLL packs up the mic and lets the music do the talking, treating us to a dreamy quartet of instrumental grooves.
'Primavera' opens the EP with a dubby drum-box bump, getting heads nodding and shoulders rolling before white funk riffs and starry eyed strumming lead us on a stroll down the coast.
After sharing a knowing glance with Paqua's 'Visitor', dreamy piano and a fuzzy guitar solo come to the fore, burning bright till long after sunset. Out of the dying embers and cicada rhythms comes the warm and comforting funk of 'Verano', a low slung disco masterpiece alive with melodic intricacy and sonic warmth - hold a loved one close and pass the joint.
The drum machine returns for B-side opener 'Ontono', keeping the pace slow and low while moody synth bass and sticky guitar dance around an emotive lead line. Drinking from the same crystal as Blue Gas and Wally Badarou, this dramatic dancer should prompt smouldering stares and bitten lips all over the club.
Quinn moves gracefully from the sultry to the sumptuous, bringing the curtain down with sublime, piano-led beauty of 'Invierno'. Meditative and melodic, this heart swelling serenade snatches the end-of-night crown from 'La Ritournelle' and wears it with pride.
Officially Aficionado.

Five years further down the line. My grey exchanged for white. Those Coyote boys though, they're still keeping that "Venus" flag flying, still fostering a "Balearic Network" they helped to establish nearly three decades ago. Still steadfastly and proudly manning their ship of hedonistic dance floor abandon, reminding or schooling folks in the lore, the legend, of "!Ibiza 90", Italian Scream-Ups, of sweat soaked soirees, dancing on table tops, dancing on bars, of basements with their hands in the air, enlisting likeminded souls from Croatia, England, France, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Portugal, Russia, Scotland, Spain, and the U.S.A. to preserve and spread this gospel, to give this history a future. A continuation of midnights and dawns of genre mutations and cross-pollinations that reflect an early '90s openness, a happy innocence, pre-excess, pre-casualties and division. When love was the drug. An oeuvre where beats and bass are informed by JA's Dub, underlining the spacial similarities between Acid House and sound system specials, just in case you hadn't noticed. Where fat Blues riffs hang heavy with delay, and optimistic '89 pianos are never far away. A post-"Screamadelica" psychedelia of ethereal sighs at sunset, build-the-box arpeggios and Peech Boys percussion, stoned Rock stomps, Mediterranean sax serenades and vintage sounding Electro Disco from veteran DJs who should know. Authentic '80s synth Boogie, 303 chatter and steel string microtones, acoustic picking and mind-bending audio fractals slip a little livener in your cocktail at a Woodstock on a beach. Detroit Ambience, the stuff of sunrises. Laurel Canyon, Joshua Tree hoe-downs. Sultry, whispered new New Beat where the "merchandise" on offer is dependent on your vice. West Coast surf and sun-blinded Highlife, Spanish Flamenco sueno latinos and lysergic chuggers forged by japanese fusionists. Classy re-works of bandana wearing White Isle classics karate chop through strobes and smoke. Hippy harmonies frug with MACH's "On And On". "Hoomba Hoomba" goes Ital in a chant to bring down Babylon. Gentle african rhythms and birdsong serve to blow away the wicked.

S.O.B. is the alias for the new partnership of Dave Jarvis (Moton Records / Faith) alongside Richard Rogers (Black Booby). Rolled Stone opens like a phoenix rising from the ashes bathed in golden light, before shuffling rhythms and a hooky low slung bassline make you shake your rump to the funk. On the flip Givin is a swirling heady 4/4 number with soulful vocal licks. LIMITED 10 INCH CLEAR VINYL WITH HAND STAMPED LOGO.

The first release of 2014 on Busy P's Ed Banger imprint comes from the head man himself and he's served up a solid set of remixes. Breakbot turns his hand at reworking 'This Song' and although it features those dreamy synths and quintessential guitar licks it displays a slightly deeper feel for the disco producer. Desirre and Djedjotronic also remix 'This Song' with very positive results, and there's even a wild and erratic Bok Bok remix of 'Procrastinator'. The stand-out, however, comes in the form of 'Rainbow Man 2.0' which sees the cracking original get a shiny and more outrageous makeover.

The first release on new Berlin-based label Per Musica Ad Astra is Mick Clarke's 'Zusammen!' LP, the follow-up after many years to his debut solo release 'Games' on German label Blubberlips in 1979. A pioneer of UK electronic music, Mick was also in legendary synth-wave band Naked Lunch, and apart from producing music under a few different aliases over the years he also finds time to run the Flight Recorder label and is a regular programmer on Intergalactic FM, hosting both the Radio Oscillations and Magic Waves shows. The music here is very much in the spirit of the label's kosmische/space Berlin-school agenda, both reflecting his earlier work and exploring new territory simultaneously. Lush orchestrations and beautiful synth pads contrast against hypnotic rhythms and delicate melodies, and while the label's mission might be electronic listening music' tracks like 'Red Bird' and 'Mistral' are surely DJ material too. The latter evokes a sound similar to vintage Basic Channel, while other parts of the album flow through sonic territories as diverse as Tangerine Dream and the Berlin school of ambient, Warp Records' classic 'Artificial Intelligence' series, deep electro and even atmospheric Italo as well. The record comes in a beautiful sleeve with notes from the label, and comes free with a nice space insert! Definitely not one to miss!

Over the past 20 years, genevan duo SINNER DC has built a solid yet discreet reputation on the international electronic music scene. Their ethereal intergalactic yet catchy melodies, full on emotions and melancholy, became throughout the years the band's trademark. Co-published by the prestigious Museum of Ethnography of Geneva and swiss renowned Mental Groove Records, this first album entitled MEG/CDG inaugurates a new series of CDs devoted to contemporary compositions sourced from the monumental audio archives of the Museum (read below*). MEG / CDG's backbone contains music from Romania, Niger and southern United States, from the mid 30's to the early 50's that the genevan duo Sinner selected while browsing the museum database . MEG / CDG is a kaleidoscopic album and a scenic trip - the title of the album and the songs are of IATA airport codes and explores the limits of the panoramic vision of the duo through hypnotic landscapes and imaginary places. Sinner DC will next deliver a new album entitled "Maps" co writtent with Pete Kember, legendary founder of the influential late 80's psychedelic band Spacemen 3 and most recently producer for Panda Bear and Mgmt. The Museum of Ethnography of Geneva and Mental Groove have already planned the follow up with french Julien Perez (Dirty/Barclay) and canadian Jeremy Young (Sontag Shogun) Support: Pedro Winter, Nicolas Jaar, James Holden, Sonic Boom.

Here we see Italian brother duo Elia and Niro Perrone, release their debut long player in the shape of 'Pescaiola' the name of the suburbs the pair grew up and paying homage to their musical roots growing up together.

Across the duration of the 'Pescaiola' LP Easy To Remember serve up a amalgamation of raw and intriguing electronic, house and techno cuts. Opener 'Hanckora' lays down a lo-fi infused Hip Hop style to kick things off, while 'Checkma Dem' lies in similar territory with the addition of some vocal stylings as well.

For the most part though Easy To Remember lay the focus on emotive house music, title track 'Pescaiola' plays on multi-layered melodies and retro synths, 'Hijack Percussion' focuses on gritty rhythm and soft atmospherics and 'Try To Escape' brings to light ethereal synth leads and snaking bass grooves. The duo instil some funk influence into the LP as well via 'Feelings' and some experimental touches as well with their Giulio Etiope collaboration 'Degolas' amongst others. All in all Easy To Remember deliver a refreshing take on modern electronica across the project and further prove Unclear is a force to be reckoned with in the underground.

Solkyss proudly presents the debut EP from Paresse - master of cinematic disco & balearic slowness. Grand Fall EP is a dreamy melancholic journey with three slow burners that will stay in our hearts (and bags) for a long time. Paresse is the alias of Stockholm based producer Ivan Berggren. Though this debut sounds as fresh as they come, he's been a long time contributor to the music community with previous releases on various labels such as Correspondant Records, Magic Feet Recordings and Glasgow Underground. His versatility has worked its way through the spectrum from delivering dance floor bombs to composing scores for feature films. Title track Grand Fall comes with a remix by Locked groove who has transformed the track into a ten minute long hypnotic open-air banger. Perfect for those early mornings - It's been tested and it works.

Following on from his releases on Kolour Recordings and Profound, Berlin resident Ant Orange's latest 12' on Karaoke Kalk is an innovative record packed full of diverse and lively tracks. The five tunes on the single take in an extremely wide range of styles, fusing elements of tribal drumming, funky soul, nu jazz and deep house.
Omi gets the ball rolling with groovy off beats and a wonky kalimba melody to get your feet tapping. Yesterday is a funky dance-floor track while tunes like Are You Alon and The Look are filled with romance and vibes under the careful guise of eclectic electronica. The track Hands Together brings the 12' to a close drawing inspiration from the same Marlene Shaw vocal sample that St Germain used to such great effect on their hit Rose Rouge. Ant Orange brings a new twist to this iconic soul-jazz voice embedding it in a contemporary down-tempo groove.
Although originally from Leeds UK, Ant Orange has such an mixed range of influences and styles present in his music that the result in a truly global sound. Ant Orange relocated to Berlin some time ago where he now plays out at any opportunity, and with this new single he is again giving something back to his fellow vinyl junkies.

Electro maestro Luke Eargoggle collaborates with some of his favourite producers creating an EP that delves into the many sides of Eargoggle.
Eargoggle & The Hacker open the EP with a sleazy take on New Beat with Body. Eargoggle & Marco Bernardi are up next with trademark nagging basslines complete with fragmented weirdo speech and demented melodies for Rat Wire Chomp. On the flip Eargoggle joins forces with long term collaborator Rutherford for the driving emo Stalkers Behave. Closing the EP Das Muster goes in the for the kill with the metallic Stärke.

Vaghe is a man of few words. He wanders, seemingly endlessly, through a lonely, gargantuan labyrinth of concrete and steel, fighting off ghosts and other futuristic nightmares, searching only for something called The Full Stream Ahead. Who is this quiet, determined man and what are these Ghosts he seeks The small communities he finds tucked into the crevices of this towering, dystopic ruin hardly give him leads on his treasure, driving him to find larger enclaves of civilization where people can reveal more about the world he lives in and the quarry he seeks. If Vaghe is going to find the treasure he seeks, he will need more help and information than the inhabitants of these beleaguered outposts can offer. He needs to find a larger cluster of civilization, but he'll have to survive the trip to get there, first... Following his 2014 'Sweet Sixteen', and his 2015 'Abstract Speed + Sound' Other People is pleased to announce The Full Stream Ahead: The Prologue by Turin's Daniele Mana aka Vaghe Stelle. Previously associated with Italian label Gang of Ducks and a current member of production group One Circle with fellow nationals Lorenzo Senni and A:RA, Daniele's roots in the emerging Italian production scene run deep and place him at its center.

The mysterious UNKNOWN Returns to Championsound for the second part of his numbered tracks series, with more spacious and layered post-everything soundscapes.
The second release from Unknown is a vinyl only release ...
Busy working on an album the four tracks here are part of his #001-#010 series that heralded his existence on youtube. Aside from remixes .. this is the only Unknown material that will be available until a new EP and Album in the spring and later part of the year 2013 .. These tracks were not due for release but he has received a large number of mails enquiring about a release date for them so here is the limited vinyl ..

It has been a while since we put out the first record on our van doumen' sublabel. But the time has come to do it once again. It features surprisingly well-known artists for Doumen standards, such as NYC prodigy Photay, psychedelic LA beatmaker Ras G, Studio Barnhuis darling Kornél Kovács and Leipzig legend Leibniz. All are remixing original Doumen releases. So I guess your are old enough to decide for yourself if you find that interesting.

Deniz's second full-length album is a true reflection of the complexity and simplicity that have come to
represent the artist. Effortlessly weaving entirely new sub-genres, while daring to convey its fragility
she assembles the Marcy All-Stars, a loose collective term that encompasses her longtime muses,
friends, and co-conspirers. The term comes from the Marcy hotel in Williamsburg, New York ñ an
underground nightclub-come-creative-space and Wolf + Lamb label studios that gave Nicolas Jaar his
first gig, inspired a multitude of collaborations and reshaped the sound of house music as we know it.
Available on CD, LP with a special limited edition lenticular cover of the accompanying LED sculpture
designed by Deniz Kurtel and brought on The Way We Live U.S. Tour.

After a five year absence the illusive COTTAM label returns. Since the original series Paul has travelled the world DJing, released on labels such as Aus & Versatile and started his own imprint Ruff Draft for his own original productions and tracks from other producers. Currently taking a break from DJing & concentrating on production it felt like the right time to reactivate the label that started it all with some new under-the-counter specials.

First up we have 'mixing tool', a heavy beat and percussion setting the dark & foreboding tone, the unease increasing like something is creeping up behind you until the distant war cries reveal themselves - a deep track that is much more than the title suggests.

Next up, the long awaited vinyl release for the Cottam re-wiring of a classic film title track, mixing the best elements of the originals synth score with a club ready beat and acid that adds to the original - this is one of the finest Carpenter reworks you'll hear.

Maxim Lany has been with the label since the very beginning back in november 2011. With two tracks on the first two compilations he helped setting the label's tone. And now, Maxim is back. And he brought his friends. First up on this EP is the track "Your Number" he made with Ante Perry from Kitball and Still Vor Talent. Result of their cooperation is an amazing deep house journey with an extremely wooly break. What's not to like The second track, on the B-side of the EP is the result of spending hours in the studio together with Maxim's Antwerp based friend Katorski with nothing but tea and sushi. Traag is Dutch for slow, you'll hear why!

A strictly vinyl only release on this absolute stunning sun soaked EP from Sophie Lloyd that has already been heavily supported from Ashley Beedle & Greg WIlson!
Follow Me Home is 9 minutes worth of floaty, yacht rock goodness that can only be made to sound better if you was lay on a lilo in the Adriatic with a cocktail in hand....
It also comes with a dub version too if you're not too keen on a certain headband wearing vocalist :)
A Burn U Know ups the tempo a bit more and is a thigh slapping, mouth organ led slice of barnyard disco that rumbles along like a freight train with snaps of classic 808 percussion bringing it from the wild west to the basements of Manchester and back out to the Croatian coast....Support come in already from Ashley Beedle, Greg Wilson, Pete Herbert, Psychemagik, Faze Action, Man Power, Andy Pye (Balearic Social), Tristan Da Cunha and Chris Coco who will be featuring it in his radio show and Ibiza sunset sets (all these before doing a hard promo run).

One of Tim Love Lee's favourite NYC DJs, Eugene Tambourine, has brought his considerable production talents to these two impeccable club classics -Inner City's 1988 house anthem In The Good Life, and Laurie Anderson's moody 1984 album cut 'Blue Lagoon'.

Just ahead of a landmark 50th EP release, Catz 'N Dogz's Pets Recordings turn to Johan Cederberg aka HNNY for a special five track release that very much invites us deep into the off kilter world of the revered Swedish producer. Before now HNNY - preferably pronounced 'honey' - has won himself many fans with curious and quirky releases on labels including Studio Barnhus, Let's Play House and Local Talk. Producing house but with a charming sense of melody, a great ear for a sample and an irresistible sense of groove, he is a firm DJ and dancer favourite all across Europe, and for good reason. Opening the EP is 'Happy Happy House House', a lazy, beachy cut awash with sun-kissed melody and trip hop grooves. Swaying gently to and fro, it's an immediately soothing track before 'Brasilian Sound' is as Latin as you would expect from the title: it's a percussive, summery, atmospheric jaunt though up-tempo and feel-good house that's littered with distant whistles, the sound of kids playing in the park and a variety of loveable instruments. 'Fresh Laundry' then drops into a much slower and more purposeful groove - stoned drums and a distant bassline unfold lazily before big wind instruments begin tooting up top. It's human, imperfect and full of keys that imbue it with the joys of spring. On the flip, 'Fruktstund' is another adult lullaby with colourful, cartoony instrumentals, angular grooves and plenty of organic textures, whilst closer 'Yogalates' is much the same with its big xylophones, joyous piano chords, rubbery kicks and generally disarming sense of playfulness. Spring is just round the corner but it feels so much closer with these enchanting new cuts from HNNY.

Miajica follows up on his "Second Spring" EP with two massive balearic anthems supported by remixes from Acid Pauli and Wareika.

There is a certain melancholy - yet highly optimistic - mood that Miajica likes to conjure throughout his more elaborate, more emotional tracks. The two originals on his suggestively titled 'I Forgot About Love' EP are probably the best examples in his discography so far of such an introspective mood. Both the Middle Eastern themed 'I Forgot About Love' and the dubby 'Au bord de l'eau' are deep and emotive, groovy and immersive long-play tracks, devised for that ideal club crowd that likes to indulge in the process, catching every audible detail.

Acid Pauli and Wareika contribute their own meticulous detail work, retouching the originals in surprising and sophisticated ways. Acid Pauli chisels the melody, rhythm and structure of the track and gives his 'I Forgot About Acid' remix a completely new pacing, creating a tangible world of distinct sounds and superb musical flow. Wareika take their original - already an Alma Negra dub - out of its comfort zone and rework it into an anthem by adding extra spatiousness, an honest, universally-applealing vocal hook and perfecting everything around the soothing melody with the help of their own instruments.

"I Forgot About Love" is the seventh 12" release within our collective of labels. Wareika's Vocal Dub of "Au bord de l'eau" will be available exclusively on the 12" release, while the instrumental version replaces it on the digital version.

Visceral Vibrations, the US-based record label dedicated to pushing emotive, bass-led electronic music is back with its third music acquisition cataloged as 'VV003'. With preceding releases to have received airplay on radio stations like Rinse.FM, it's safe to say that the label is supported for sharing their take on progressive bass intelligence. Adolfo Ancona (24), more commonly known for his music under the Hysee moniker, moves around this realm, mostly between the 140-170 bpm mark. His music is a mixture of electronic / ambient music cultivated through a deeply organic and experimental approach. With past releases on imprints like Nord Label, Deep Heads, Samurai (Horo) and CX, this Italian-based producer is building a vast collection of bass material on both physical and digital formats. 'Circular Dispute' is an exploration that incorporates soft textures, mellow kicks and changes in bass pressure to convey mystical movement. The rigid half-time marker slowly fades in, turning circular pressure into a subtle roller that simply defies the rules of gravity. Hysee applies an even more intricate formula to 'Isolator', one that bends attentive low-end textures and minimalistic percussion through time and space. The way it travels, progresses and ends makes this production a groove on its own & an excellent add to 'VV003'. Hysee's last succession on the record strikes slowly but steadily, waves of deepening frequencies, mesmerising synths and arrhythmic choirs form the pendulum of his signature sound. This closing production allows listeners to drift off to another dimension or subconscious vibration. Visceral Vibrations' third acquisition holds the talent of the Italian producer Hysee, who takes part in our lineage of forward-thinking bass music. With a review hosted by the trusted FatKidOnFire blog and airplay support by influential artists, we're ready to present 'VV003' to the world.

After a promising start like Night Drive' The Caribbean House is finally introduced by his creator/curator Billy Bogus through this four tracks EP.
The Caribbean House is a live project that finds Bogus teamed up with Federico Bologna, from seminal Technogod and Ohmega Tribe collective, and Cristiano Santini, from legendary italian act Disciplinatha. Straight from electronic Italian suburbia of the nineties, skilfully mixed with Bogus uncommon approach, this is an outstanding blend of new wave and slow motion disco, strictly for midnight vultures.

Let's begin

Very DJ friendly, Ivory Pagoda' hits with a catchy rhythm which evokes some sort of deep techno vibes but with house-disco flavours and jazz aftertaste. Il nuovo Dragone' sounds like an afro spin cycle with gluey synths and a hidden sick atmosphere. On the b side: Haitian Party' is a lively piece that can also be crepuscular and Ivy' comes full circle with a hypnotic afro-wave with a premonition..

This EP aims to break the rules through a bizarre idea of temporal continuity which may look like a bit of a paradox : from the dark vibes/atmospheres of the 80s via the glacial synths and the warm sampled beats of the 90s to the vaporous present day disco. If you are a DJ who knows history on the dancefloor but also like to experiment with the unusual you are definitely going to love this one!
This is HOT!!!!! ' Pirahnahead

Another great EP from the Team Aiwo records.

Kris- & Konflikthantering is Swedish for 'crises and conflict management,' as well as a course at university guiding you how to manage scenarios involving crises and strategies in handling conflicts. This album was put together while Harald was taking this course. This album was made during semi-unconscious conditions and is an emotional transcription of experiences to the language of sequences and frequencies. The soundscape is a warm fuzzy travel from krauty basslines, vocal fragments and mantras through echoes and reverberating tunnels with shimmering arpeggios, field recordings and programed patterns in ancient Japanese Roland techniques. All recorded on the Studer B67 master tape recorder, the heart of the Kranglan Broadcast studio. The album is being released as a three episode series with exclusive remixes on the 12s. The vinyls come in sleeves with cover artwork drawn by Malin Gabriella Nordin. Kris- & Konflikthantering I/III (KLN007) features 4 tracks with traces from Harald's latest release Fritids EP on Studio Barnhus as well as a remix by Petter Nordkvist under yet another moniker... It is the first time Harald and Petter are on the same 12 since the Thunderpants era with Harald on the microphone and Petter behind the screen releasing on young John Dahlbäcks Pickadoll Records, time flies. Kris- & Konflikthantering II/III (KLN008) features 4 tracks including songs from Harald's live repertoire as well as a remix of his Studio Barnhus debut Sabor Latino now interpreted by the queen of Pampa, Areal and Kompakt, Ada. Kris- & Konflikthantering III/III (KLN009) is the final ending with 2, 14-minute plus tracks. One dedicated to the ancient rave grounds of Hellasgarden where it all began in terms of dancing in dirty fields lit by sonar sweeps from the broadcast masts and strobes visible all the way to the city.

In Flagranti (Sasa and Alex) were coming into Geneva, spinning at La Graviere where I was regularly Djing. We hadn't seen each other since New York. I'd spent a few life times there. I'd been out of my home town, living in France, next to Geneva for four years. Over dinner, Sasa asked me to play bass on a few tracks remembering my time in Konk. It turned into In Flagranti's Hi Pitch'. Sasa and Alex reunited some good New York friends, Sal P. (Liquid Liquid), Justin Strauss (Whatever Whatever), In Flagranti and myself. So after our collaboration, they asked me to do a new record for Codek. I'd been DJing at underground spots in Geneva and doing some gigs in Paris and Zurich and I was ready to make some new tracks.

Zhivago Zhivago was inspired by hearing deep house and techno tracks where phrasing that doesn't resolve after 8 bars. That started the vibe, and then I took it down to a more Cosmic' tempo. My friend Elhadj Fall is on vocals. We worked together at a small spot on Avenue C in the East Village called Baraza, where I'd spin Salsa, Soca and disco breaks. Elhadj is a wicked Reggae DJ who also played at Baraza. I asked him to do an MC style party rap like Dr. Perri Johnson on Let's Start the Dance Again (Bohannon) but in Wolof, his language from Senegal.

Zhivago Zhivago/Khidja Dub (Emotional Especial) Two guys from Bucharest who turn out inspired psychedelic tracks, melding electronics sounds of east and west. Their remix expertly sears in the flavor like a delicious one minute steak served in pita with tahini and harissa. Khidja were the perfect choice to remix Zhivago Zhivago and their mix doesn't disappoint!

Disco Touch - The vinyl version emerged out of re-working the original and combining elements from my other mixes. Moving around the 8 bar loop—listening to it on repeat over and over, I loved the way it kept cutting off the strings. More mixes coming on digital.

Disco Touch Siren Mix is produced by Darshan Jesrani (Metro Area, Startree) and Dennis Kane (Disques Sinthomme, Ghost Town). They birthed Siren out of residencies at NYC's storied night-spot APT, and the parties they produced together in APT's wake. Their unique way of playing for party people comes through in their remix for of Disco Touch. It's another reunion as I've known Dennis since his days at A1 records.

Future Times is very happy to announce a new record from RBL, who we haven't heard from since his 7" for FT (the second-ever release on the label) about 7 years back (!).TIP
Once again the songs are split up into DANCE and ROMANCE sides, on the Dance Side we have "Frequency Illusion," a glorious slap of vibro-house for the deejay crew, coming in hot like a rugged Pal Joey tune, and on the Romance Side we have the slow hypnotic funk of "Number Games," complete with dope mantra vox and Italian slo-house chug. This one is a doozy!!

Have you ever taken mushrooms well this record has a story, long time friend of the label Joseph is as close to a living example of a Don Juan as you can get. This record includes songs inspired from a brief love affair. Mushroom induced, Mitte lockdown, cross border communication it's the slowest record we've ever put out but hey - summer time approaches so roll a jay or take a capsule and fly away on this Caravan we call life

The winter's almost gone and Luettje Luise's Mama comes out of hibernation. With a new playground at home, it will take a talented hand to prepare for the upcoming spring. Along comes Nutia, sowing his seeds of "Raounuor". "Fischbahn" (A1) is a decent wake up call for the early birds facing their way back north to the deep woods of "Schweden" (A2). Here, Nutia serenades those old inhabitants with a rattling melody, and sends them on their way with heads still light. "Em Pessoa" (B1) tinkles on the flipside: a lullaby of constant perpetuation, which echoes its way through the mesmerising labyrinth of trees and bushes, only to be heard by the lonesome "Deer" (B2), who answers with the most gentle mating call these woods have ever heard.

The fifth release on our Lehult imprint introduces the unique sounds of yet another talent from our crew. After already appearing on our third release, the 8040 EP is DJ Assam's first full length release, that showcases his deep and textured productions. In between slightly skipping grooves, atmospherical chords and thumping basslines, DJ Assam manages to create a atmosphere that offers just the right tension between seductive warmth and dark melancholy, between intimate proximity and distance, between uplifting groove and thoughtful introspection. It comes in a beautiful full-cover showing the deep forest of Lehult, as visual counterpart to the sounds of the EP.
