Mike Simonetti's 2MR imprint welcome a genuine techno tour de force: Seattle's Nark. As the man behind some of the city's most progressive, inclusive and famously fizzy parties such as Dickslap, his selector and party host stripes precede him. His productions will do soon, too. Here's your proof... A debut 4 track behemoth entitled 'Empty Void' 2 originals, 2 remixes, Nark reveals his full spectrum right here: from the alien swamp creatures of 'Sunrise Climb' via the poisonous 303 of 'Acid Night Cap' and the zoning tubular hypnotiser 'Carl's K Hole', this is the sound of a man who doesn't just understand dancefloors through years of playing to them... But knows how to push them to the edge and bring them back from the brink, too. Naturally the remixes are equally forthright and boundary-blurring. Octo Octa has us all gliding with her precision percussive twist to 'Sunrise Climb'. Finally the label bossman Simonetti gets involved in the action with a cosmically minded take on 'Carl's K-Hole', bringing Sagan's sample to outer-planetary new levels. Welcome to the void... There's no turning back now.

What's A Perfect Stranger
Who is The Perfect Stranger

For us here at Disco Halal, The Perfect Stranger could be that person, which you will have a short encounter with that will almost change your life, give you much and ask little for return, without any restrictions, without any rules, without any obligation, just your full attention for a brief moment. What's A Perfect stranger for you Disco Halal Is Happy to Announce the Beginning, Again. Perfect Strangers Vol.1 Is Ready, Press Play.

JOMO... The JOY of missing out.
The premise is simple: F**k what everyone else is doing, just enjoy your own moment and make sure you're present and not wasting time watching other people pretend their lives are amazing. Your life is the only life that counts. And right now Bawrut has come crashing into it. The man behind no less than 15 exceptional remixes throughout 2018, he's back in full original EP mode and he's making his debut on Pets.
Let's not waste any time....

'Pioneers' kicks things off. Bawrut's personal homage to the foundation setters; laced with a syrupy spoken word, this is all about the physical and emotional reactions from a raw house groove. It's followed by 'Desert Island', a dynamic acid attack that's riddled with rich levels of 303 funk and a healthy dose of Trevor Jackson.

Elsewhere 'Piano&Piano' brings us back to dry land with crunchy loops that somehow manage to ooze funk, soul and staccato synth stabbed drama in equal measure... A fusion that's accelerated insanely when the breaks kick in. Then finally we have 'Your Job Is My Job'. Another heady maze of trippy textures and psychedelic nods, this one kicks into such a belting bassline groove midway that it will drive your crowds to such high levels of JOMO they may never want to log into Instagram again.
Powerful sounds from a dangerously talented new gen talent. This is next level stuff from Bawrut and Pets.

FULL MOON FALCON is filled with melodic elements combining emotional, energetic, cathartic techno with melodic and melancholic intricate structures which routinely ignite the Sisyphos' cavernous Funktion One-filled dark beating heart aka the Hammerhalle.
As a part of Berlins after-hours club and art space SISYPHOS, the label SISYPHON is a platform for musicians / producers and combines the hedonistic wild-life of the club and the impulsive sets of its resident and guest Djs. SISYPHOS reflects the DIY principles and alternative lifestyles of the owners, team members and artists who created and continue to re-invent the club.

2 Track 34:35 time Mini LP
Here comes our next coup. Irrelevant returns to FAUXPAS MUSIK with the permission of - Absolute Loss', We will release Vague Memories II as a Vinyl Edition. Two outstanding long players explore the deep, melancholy electronic soundscapes that he loves. Vinyl tastes better...

Eva Geist's music has the power to open doors. Her enchanting sounds are always an invitation to explore the most concealed nooks of our own perception. Therefore, it's not surprising to learn that, for her, music is often a way to answer some of her mental question marks. In the case of 'Urban Monogamy', this questioning refers to the diverse ways of understanding affective relationships in our time. She explains it in this way: "A sort of Pandora's box opened up, to offer me and pretty much everyone around me, a variety of relationship forms of all kind. Polyamory, open relationships, monogamy and whatsoever. It was very confused. I think this track represents that confused time." The feeling is perfectly conveyed through the track's restrained but steady groove. Eva's trademark occultist melodies and breathy lyrics that are both a celebration of freedom and an acceptance that, as emotionally complex creatures, we're destined to be dazed forever when it comes to figure out our feelings for others. In their remix, Velvet Season & The Hearts Of Gold transform the mysterious charm of the track into a weapon of dance floor seduction by adding a no-frills motorik beat and beefing up it's sub-low frequencies. It's not surprising that the remix has already been played by the emperor of cosmic sleaze himself: DJ Harvey. On the flip, 'Green Healing Highness' opens another type of gates, in this case of consciousness. As Eva recalls, the track was written in just one night after an acid trip in France in which the plants in a garden had showed her "something pure and magic", helping her understand "what it means to be healing". Overall, it feels like a more radiant take in her sound, with its whimsical arpeggios and melodies adding a bucolic touch to the psychedelic journey. The 12" comes housed in a sleeve by Barcelona-based artist Alicia Carrera.

The duo explore steely techno in five warehouse-ready tracks which unfold over extended run times. The eerie synth line, wall-shaking kick drums and vocal sample of 'Repeat' set the tone. 'Mercury Retrograde' continues with a heavy, eyes-down pulse before 'Cygnus' soars into an epic crescendo. 'Messenger Of God' and a digital-only version of the opening track provide tough dancefloor weapons to complete a slick EP that shows Fur Coat to be masters of their sound.

It's remix time! We open our vaults to let our favourite producers from 'round the globe play around with our releases. This is the first of 3 remix EPs, with fantastic reworks by the hanseatic hedonism force of RSS DISCO, the Australian psychedelic vibes of DREEMS, the Austrian psychedelic vibes of TIGHT PANTS and the Mexican dreams of SAINTE VIE.Tune in, drop out!

For its second release of 2018, microcastle welcomes the mysterious Cornucopia project back to the label for a new EP. The publicity shy artist first appeared in May of 2016 when 'The Day You Got Older And Stronger' was released courtesy of Gorje Hewek & Izhevski's Shanti Moscow Radio. Shortly thereafter came his microcastle debut with 'Pursuit of the Orange Butterfly'. A lo-fi, organic and deeply musical creation that the underground fell in love with. 2017 was met with just one release, 'Letter For Poly' which launched Lee Burridge's new Tale & Tone imprint. Sitting at #1 in Beatport's overall Top 100 the track was also aired on BBC Radio 1 by Kolsch and by year's end was considered one of 2017's best deep house tracks. Now returning to the comfortable home of microcastle, Cornucopia presents his much anticipated 'Forever Gone' EP.

Spread across three tracks, 'Forever Gone' is a transcendent blend of music and nature, an organic methodology which Cornucopia seems so apt at crafting. Beginning with the evolving textures, exotic drums and tonal creativities of the title cut, the EP then shifts energy to the modular intensity and oriental themes of 'Big Sky', before ultimately melting down to the tranquil, meditative yet spiritually uplifting expedition that is 'Epathia'.

Multinotes Is A Record Label Created By Lehar, Musumeci And Olderic And It Is Open To Anyone Ready To Expose Their Very Own
Musical Point Of View. This Is Not A "family", This Is A Private Club For Modern, Open Minded People Ready To Challange Themselves And
The Rules Of Unknown. Multinotes First Release It Comes From The Italian Close Friend And Long Time Producer Enzo Elia Which
Delivered An Intense Three Tracker Ep Written Together With His Mate Gianluca Tavaroli (imgl).

The flamboyant and off-kilter title track from Rone's latest album, 'Mirapolis' is one of the last solo tracks that the producer composed in the spring of 2017: 'it's one of the rare tracks on the album for which I thought about the live performance. While putting the final touches to it in the studio, I imagined myself at festivals via memories of previous tours. I wanted to record a festive track, which completely stands by its 'funfair' vibe.' With this new four-track EP (including three remixes), combined with a new video by Aurélie Castex, Rone extends the carnival of electronic cultures of his latest musical citadel to the dancefloor - and our screens. Johannes Brecht, shadow craftsman of the Hamburg label Diyanamic's studios, offers a refined reading throbbing with cerebral pulsations. Appropriating the main theme in a subtle way, coated with multiple harmonic layers, his textures alternate white noise with organic basses that builds up to a delightfully classical cello outro. German-based figurehead of the South American scene, Comeme label boss and founding member of the late Closer Music project, Matias Aguayo, has never ceased throughout his career to set off little revolutions on the planet of demanding dancefloors. Playful and wild, Aguayo sweeps in with a ritornello of chiptune sounds and orchestral arrangements, washing it over with a huge wave of analog synthesizers that destroys everything in its path. French techno scene boss Laurent Garnier embraces the original piece in all its meticulousness and its psychedelic lifeblood.

Sapiens label boss, Agoria, invites Cannes' highly regarded Limelight resident Nicolas Masseyeff to the floor with a deep, dark and enignimatic two track EP 'Muse'. Opening with EP title track, 'Muse' blends bold, ominous synth lines and stripped back percussion for a driven, Bodzin-esque cut of the highest order. On the flip, is the subtle groove filled 'Moment of Truth', neatly textured with layers of intricate percussion and brooding synth toplines.

Unnatural, uneasy, unexpected. 'The Great Filter' keeps you on your toes constantly, it makes your fingers tingle with anticipation and the hairs on your arms stand up from the tension. It is eerily calm and controlled, while it takes you to faraway places in the twilight, that don't actually exist. Subdued, bright yellow light with no sun in sight. Wide plains with an inherent structure that can only be illogical. Unorganic sounds, alien voices, excited synths and sobering organs. Reality is so mundane. The way we are now expecting it from Krink, he does what is unexpected and stretches conventions somewhere around techno and deep house. The music is driven by imagery rather than song structure. The EP puts cutting rhythms over comfort and sound over beauty. Like a focused dream, it is concrete and abstract. Let's get found in the universe. Vital Sales Points: DJ promo, German print & online, UK/international online

Turning up the Progressive caliber with his contemporary edit, Moscoman turns his hand to Three Drives On A Vinyl's timeless masterpiece. Laden with deliberate rhythms, phasing percussion loops and sparkling melodies, this take on the wonderful 'Greece 2000' marks a sweet trip down memory lane for all kinds of dance music lovers.

Fango's new EP series enters into its second instalment with "Urano 2/3", continuing the journey of this trilogy dedicated to te God of the sky.

Samuel Beckett, Waiting For Godot

Autarkic describe himself as first and foremost a songwriter but he has also made a name for himself as an international DJ. Over the past three years the musician based In Tel Aviv has, with great success, played clubs throughout all of Europe. One extra memorable gig was on last year's edition of Convenanza in the amphitheatre in Sete, France. Rumour has it that the sea living mammals of the area flocked in large groups in the waters below during Autarkic's gig.

This 12'' record is his first release on Hoga Nord Rekords and the slightly psychedelic, sample- and synthesiser based club music that has become Autarkic's trademark sound is captured by an impeccable production. The music is playful, yet stripped down to the essentials and not overloaded. The vocal elements works more as percussive elements than the carrier of the storytelling in the music.

If you missed him live or just don't have the means to go see him, this record give a taste of Autarkic's hypnotic live performances!

We are pleased to present you the second EP of the infernal duo INTERNACIONAL ELECTRICAL RHYTHMS formed of Trikk and Mathias Schober. Let's dive right in and start with "Azaka" and it's live recorded percussions. This track just builds and builds until it falls back into that irresistible and sexy main groove. It reminds a bit of old DJ Gregory tracks - just 10 BPM less. Some would even say it is epic, we wouldn't argue though. Anyways, it serves the dance floor well and proved it many times in the past.
The second track "Kosanba" keeps the EP in balance. "Kosanba" sounds more like a Sci-Fi movie soundtrack at first listen. A basic rhythm built around a modular sequence, upright piano, washed out guitars and an eerie spacey melody with tons of reverb form a track that still works in a club context, yet it's definitely one of those tracks for the right moments as it sets a different tone for sure. Bruno and Mathias sure continue what they've started so well last year with their INTERNACIONAL ELECTRICAL RHYTHMS disguise.

The pampa, filled with enigmatic lines and geoglyphs known as Nazca, gives name to this record label.

Nazca Records was created to collect the music and art that Viracochas (beings of other worlds), shared with the ancient Nazca people, known for their love for music, dance and nature.

These recordings represent the music that was once played in another time and that will be played again in the future...They are the memories of the future.

Each vinyl and recording tells a story of the memories from each ceremony that took place in the Pampa Colorada, from music that was played, and of the figures and lines that the Nazcas used to show their gratitude to the Viracochas.
Maybe you're wondering how its possible or how we were able to capture those recordings in Nazca Records to then press to vinyl. It has been discovered that if an intelligent or exotic species wanted to connect to others,
they would use radio signals as they can travel any distance and require very little energy to send.
The logical wave frequency to communicate would be 1420 Megahertz, which is the frequency irradiated by the neutral hydrogen, when its atoms interact between each other.
Based on this info and knowing that hydrogen is the most abundant element in space, and after a lot of tries, in the end we were finally able to make the first contact with the Viracochas!
What is a cargo culto This word defines an ethnological phenomenon that happens when a technologically primitive society enters in contact with a technologically advanced
society.
This translates into a show of gratitude and admiration of one civilization for the other, in the case of Nazca, the cargo culto for the Viracochas, as a sign of gratitude, was represented by the lines, while the one of the Viracochas for the Nazca was shown through their music and art.
This fourth vinyl is divided in 2 parts, the first one collects the recording that beGun, a Viracocha, used to thank the Nazca people. His cargo culto is a record, a journey, a chapter
narrated through 2 original songs that are completed by 2 remixes, the first one by the magic Viracocha El Búho, and the second by Viracochas Klik & Frik.
The cargo cult used by the Nazca to thank these Viracochas' music and art was the line called The Tree.

Autarkic makes up part of an unspoken alliance from TelAviv, which is currently altering the state of contemporary house and techno music. Heavy Dreamer, the artist's first, four track outing on Life and Death, showcases much of what this bold movement is about, all while pushing it forward into progress.

Ever present tones of kraut and punk rock flow throughout the EP, beginning with Some Things To Keep, a pumping, warehouse floor filler. Autarkic steps up to the mic, often re-amping and distorting his vocal delivery, placing it alongside finely programmed keyboard riffs, tough drums and further psychedelia. Realistic Guru, the trippiest of the lot, is tailor made for an early morning DJ Tennis afterparty excursion.

Slowing down the pace on Powerhouse, Autarkic hints at moments of Bauhaus' and Tones on Tail's doom and dance pop, while offering up a digital only, stripped down, bonus version. The title track stands as a testament to this new wave of artists, coming from the shores of Israel's Mediterranean coastline. Bass, drums and guitar are recorded through bespoke boxes and presented through the lens of modernist club culture. Life and Death 37 marks a moment in time

Special Limited Series on Life an Death with Limited Presale Time = "Blitz"

After gaining international praise from their hugely successful EP, 'L.D.O.E', Aaaron & Deckert return to the stage, this time debuting their forthcoming EP, 'Wide Eyes', on Scatcity Records. The pair offer more of their immersive and melodic techno, with
JMII and Skatman coming through on the remix duties. 

Low-pounding subs sets 'Wide Eyes' menacing tone from the very start, filtering gradually a range of rumbling low-end synths against a punchy drum pattern. Slow warbling synths slowly build into the tracks main attraction; Nessi, who offers a raw and chilling vocal display that floats you effortlessly into the early hours. 

With 'Titans', the duo once again build upon their impressive sub-heavy work, this time enriching their creation of dense musical atmospheres through a range of mystic synth chords and deep brass attacks that expand and resonate throughout. 

Skatman flips the headline track entirely, stripping back Nessi's vocals to only display her deep soulful howls that echo over his impressive melodic chord sequencing.

JMII's remix of 'Titans' Is definitely one for the later hours, transforming the duos sub heavy realm into a range of crunchy, industrial drum patterns that multiply across an array of analogue synth lines.

MATHIAS SCHOBER, INNELLEA

This gives him an outlet to release music by both friends and himself. For his release on DGTL Records he created a three-track EP called Apologue EP, that showcases just two of different sides of his multi-faceted musical scope.

The a-side features two firm, acid influenced tracks. The first of these two, The Duelist, is an emotive house record, with a soundscape of piano melodies, synths and syncopated percussion laid on top of an acid bassline. El Mago del Tiempo features heavy hitting kicks combined with a sharp synth pattern. It has a long build up that keeps evolving throughout the entire composition. Halfway through, the track breaks in to a raw and fierce rhythm accompanied by yearning, drawn-out synth pads.
On the flipside, Put Your Hands on the Car (And Get Ready To Die) brings back memories of a long gone past with nods to Balearic Pop, EBM, and the Soundtrack work of Stewart Copeland, James Horner, and Jan Hammer. This multi layered production has a warm and analogue sounding feel to it that rounds off a 3 dimensional release.

You will find the new Man Power record in your favourite record shop, be it online or offline, on the 2nd of February.

MANOID returns to Hafendisko this October with his debut long player 'Truth', comprising six original tracks on vinyl from the Polish producer and live act. Rising producer MANOID has been steadily developing his unique approach to electronic music for the past few years, releasing his first tracks in 2014 and co-producing material for fellow Polish artist Pola Rise, whilst taking his live act across the globe to The Netherlands, South Korea,Iceland and more. Here though, we see him marking a milestone in his career with his debut album for hafendisko, the Hamburg-based sublabel of hfn music. Across the Truth LP MANOID delivers an amalgamation of styles ranging from jazz-tinged electronica through to modern classical and techno- due to MANOID's origin often referred to as 'Forest Techno'. One half of Darkness Falls and Trentemøller collaborator Josephine Philip also delivers vocals on 'Take Me', adding yet another musical twist to the package, whilst further ideas came to fruition through field recordings such as 'When' which is based upon recordings from a textile museum in the city of Lodz, and 'For Roses' which was initially made as a lullaby for MANOID's niece but he felt was a little too dark so later developed it into this enchantingly eerie composition for the album. MANOID's debut album radiantly displays charm, maturity and musicality throughout and joins the thread of his musical influences and experiences perfectly.

e mighty Man Power returns to Correspondant. One of the earliest labels to champion his explorative technoid landscapes, and deliver his debut album, the Mexico based composer makes a welcome return with three truly singular trips...

'The Zen Of Xen' comes in two segued parts, comprising almost 13 minutes of full intergalactic immersion. Laced with the alluring deep-dream vocals of Tel Aviv's Xen, anchored with tripped-out humanized harmonics and weaved with soaring pads, it's a genuinely emotional narrative that's been cooking away on Man Power's creative wishlist since he first met Xen at a show five years ago.

Elsewhere 'Heart For Yes, Life For No' will have you spitting rainbow emojis all night. An incredible piece of vibrant melodic techno rooted in synthesis, galvanized with emotive layers, driven by feels it sets us up perfectly for the fantastical finale 'Hubris'. Cosmic, soft-focused, sparkling but topped with a choral chant that comes in from nowhere and arrests every sense as the elements rise and fuse with theatre.

By far one of Man Power's most techno-focused and biggest records to date.

Over the last decade Andre Lodemann, a regular in the worldwide underground dancescene has released on many prolific labels incl. Freerange, Room With A View, DFTD and Innervisions. Come 2018 Lodemann is now releasing his album 'The Deeper You Go' on his own label 'Best Works Records'. He started working on it in 2012, taking his time for his emotional artistic approach with a lot of attention to detail. The album successfully walks the imaginary spectrum of Deep House, Tech House and Techno also taking dives into other waters. Where his previous longplayer 'Fragments' was a compilation of past works, "The Deeper You Go" is his first artist album containing everything a listener would want to hear both in a club and at home. You can feel that the tracks where created out of the same mold. There's a mood, a common thread and a story through the works.The album is dark in a subtle way and yet has that positive vibe and aggressiveness to it. "The Deeper You Go" is mostly instrumental with two features by the british singer and songwriter Huw Costin, bandleader of 'Torn Sail'.

Lodemann's sound is deep, warm but aggressive at the same time. It explores the less chartered end of the soundscape. His songs generally feel like a narrative. It builds and grows as the song progresses and climax past the halfway rewarding you for your time invested. At the climax the tracks sometimes morph into what feels like a whole new song. This is his signature sound.

The album starts with "The Deeper You Go/ Emptiness" these two opening tracks follow the Lodemann formula to the tee. They are perfect as opening and introductory tracks as they set a deep mood for the rest of the album. Moving onward 'Metamorphosis' is a hard but soulful techno track that shatters the stereotype of what techno should sound like crossing genre-borders. With the track "Lost In Your Eyes" he goes in a different direction using an aboriginal sounding horn, accompanied by a bassline, both together create an uplifting but also scary mood. 'Birth" was released in 2017 and it feels raw and reminiscent of his earlier works.The collaborations with Huw Costin of Torn Sail complement Andre Lodemann style of production: In 'Treasure' the two artists find perfect balance where the beat builds in between and around the vocals. "Misty Road" is a flowing bass-heavy ambient track that perfectly closes the album.

"The Deeper You Go" is Andre Lodemann's artistic vision of modern electronic music using all possible means to create emotional sound sculptures.

As the wind whistles through your hair, everything passes you by in a blur. Faster and faster you go, faster and more terrifyingly into the abyss you fall. You scream with a mixture of panic and joyful abandon half wanting this to never end but knowing that it will anytime now: a smile creeps across your face. And as it ends, you breathe a sigh of relief, wistfully remembering with powerful emotive accuracy before hurriedly joining the back of the queue for another go - after all, it's just a ride. Life is very much like the 'Blitzbahn'. It goes up and down, round and round and for much of the ride, we never know what's going to happen. Here on his fifth studio album, Oliver Schories explores all the fun of the fair across 13 expansive cuts that showcase his incredible knack for straddling that House/Techno mid-point with consummate ease. Some artists take years to craft their albums, agonising over every detail before, frustratingly, deleting the whole project and starting again. Oliver, however, is as prolific as he is confident of his ability to construct the kind of dance floor bombs that have helped him to build a significant head of steam in the underground.

The Long Now is a duo featuring Richard Norris and Finnur Bjarnason, with special guests. They mix piano, voice, string section and electronics with the sound of the Icelandic breeze. The music sits within the post ambient, electronic, contemporary classical genre, with a strong sense of landscape, mood and melody. Richard Norris One half of the Grid, alongside Soft Cell's Dave Ball, one half of Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve with Erol Alkan... Richard Norris has a thing about working as a duo. With many productions and remixes under his belt, including tracks for Warpaint, Brian Eno, Tame Impala and many more, Richard brings an electronic sensibility to the Long Now. He has a long term passion for ambient, electronic, drone, soundtrack and modern classical music. Finnur Bjarnason Finnur Bjarnason is an Icelandic musician whose background is in classical music. Having trained to be an opera singer, rst in his native Reykjavík and later at the Guildhall School of Music and National Opera Studio in London, he then pursued an international career as an operatic tenor for over a decade, appearing in many of the world's most prestigious opera houses, singing everything from Montiverdi to Wagner to modern opera. As he has become ever more interested in where the boundaries between musical worlds get blurry, and particularly how the sound world of 'acoustic' singing world could best intersect with electronic music, he has begun an earnest exploration of the 'other side'. The Long Now play the Blue Dot Festival on Sat July 21st, with more dates to follow. The performance will be accompanied by a lm by BAFTA award winning director Kieran Evans, recently shot in Iceland. The band are currently preparing an album and series of live performances featuring piano, voice, electronics and string quintet.

Aaja is a UK based cultural project encompassing a space, label and parties. Not following too many fads or trends. Aaja is an audible quest for deep and raw club rollers and late night neon tales.

For AAJA001 we're pleased to gather 4 friends and artists in their own right for a diverse, inaugural 4-track Various Artists EP. Commencing proceedings on the A1, 'Abzent Mindz' by In:State & Guili lets rip. Following their recent 12" on Not An Animal, this ever-giving cross-European collaboration churns out something that is both functional and emotional. TIP!

For A2, whilst this might be the start of his production journey, Ady Toledano is a permanent fixture on Berlin's queer club scene and we're excited to share his latest production. Regularly spinning at Cocktail D'Amore, Buttons at About:Blank & Riot,
Toledano delivers 'Rare Earth'. A deep, ceremonial journey best suited for those late night, deep in the rave moments and let's be honest, mornings. Flipping the 12" over for B1.

The third track of the EP is produced by Everson. One of the co-founders of Aaja teases sample-work in an out of a grinding, tool style track bridging busy, UK influenced percussion and influence with slower, sledging techno.

Finally, Alex Richards finishes off the VA with 'Platform' on the B2. His words about the track... 'messing about making noises'. Richards lends the compilation a superlative, building and stripped back tune. Suited equally to the early doors as it is the
early morns.
