For the next Mind Dance excursion Frank delivers Venom Viper; a five-cut genre defying ep full of raw emotion, gritty vocal recordings, obtrusive baselines and addictive melodies. For club use and/or home listening.

As the Great Conjunction of Thra’s Three Suns draws ever closer, schuttle casts his sonic offerings out into this dying World in an attempt to restore balance and offer us all a chance to ascend to a higher level of existence.

The record begins by conjuring up the 'Ritual Master'. Stuttering vocals dance over ceremonial strings; the great Unifying kick drum clears the undergrowth for a bassline so life affirming that it could raise UrSu himself.

The quest continues with ‘Heretic’. After consuming a hero’s dose of Urdrupe berries, a righteous vision of a writhing, divine dancefloor comes into focus. The soundtrack to the collectively imagined communal space.

The B side begins with 'Ekt'. Angular, fractured percussion marches on, shrouded in cold, dew soaked pads, climaxing with a chord as deep as it is wide. Then, just as the three suns begin to align, ‘Weaver’ makes its gentle presence known. Finishing the journey with crystalline clarity and warmth. Luxurious chords disperse over elegant synthesis, whilst a powerful kick caresses our hearts. Perhaps it isn’t too late to restore our Vital Essence?

Striking once again, Barcelona based, Gamine comes back with the laser cutting tunes of Jack Keo.

Following major releases on Art of Dark and Spaecial; Jack tees up a heavy-yet-balanced EP that leans on techno and is counterpoised by a clubby-house side. On the remix we have Otis delivering a masterful reinterpretation.

Expect strong and groovy 909s, mysterious vocals and memorable basslines.

Third Stream welcomes to the Acmé family two maestros of the minimal-house scene like Silat Beksi & Florian Meffert.

This EP offers their full sound vision with three minimal-house atemporal tracks + one "breaks" track.

Mastered by Alex Font @ Acmé Studios - Only vinyl - Only 300 copies -

is the sign of sickness and defiance
the result of poison and pain
the laughing in the face of death
the willingness to fight till your last breath
the bravery when nothing is left

Vinyl Only, Limited.

To all cosmonauts out there, as part of Mixcult Records, we introduce: Believe In Records, highlighting alluring atmospheres of sounds roomed with fine constructed electro and breaks. For those synthe-surfers of exo-planets, this is the first record of a new collection. This one is for élite listeners: Scape One - Different Worlds EP.

One year on from the passing of label co-founder and artist Alex Smith, Flash as a Rat returns with its 6th instalment.


Digby, co-founder and brother to Alex, continues the siblings' form for emotionally intelligent and sound focussed minimal.


'Briefmacken' bumps through waves of kicks and glitches to arrive at moments of peaceful clarity, whilst 'Constantly' swings with off kilter hisses and pops around a metallic organ sequence, making it's claustrophobic way towards a beautifully layered string section at the crescendo.


The typically pared back artwork this time inverts the colour scheme from the brothers' first ever release on their own label, marking the record simultaneously the ending of one chapter and the beginning of the next.

Debut EP on Neroli for the talented DEENAMIC. After his previous ep on Freebeat and and the appeareance on the limited Neroli XXX seven inch, expectations are very high on the output of the young spanish producer. Here he doesn’t disappoint with the ultimate banger ‘Out Of My Mind’, the syncopated ‘Sambù’ and the distorted affair ‘The Bitter Truth’ but also showing more sides of his sound like in the downtempo groover ‘Dayride’.

Four new original songs from Nachtbraker with intricate percussion and melodic arrangements. Diving deep into Nachtbraker's wicked mind, each tune has a healthy dose of weirdness.

Title track "Bay Be Blu" tickles the endorphin receptors with its euphoric melodies and 'Stranger Things' atmospheres. The second track leans on soothing warm synths gliding over a dub bass with tight drums. In addition, attentive listeners will hear Nachtbraker's personal field recordings on the beaches of Barceloneta. When the record is flipped one finds herself in "Tangelo Dreams", a mid 90's, Pacific Records inspired jam with a driving baseline. Rounding off the record is "Drip", a track drenched in unconventionalism and oddities.

Mastered and lacquer cut by Simon (The Exchange) Davey.

Yamen & EDA are joining forces again to take you on a special hunt for the 7 dragon balls.

Tribe Recordings drops its third superb release. This time their own team member D.A.B is delivering 4 bombs, ready to smash any dancefloor. Essential!

DJ Fett Burger's first solo album!
A nine track double album with the full circle of Fett man's artistic styles to date. A deep personal trip into the different sounds that in recent years have been defining, and inspiring his productions and output. A musical story from beginning till the end. Always weird, never straight. A free flowing creative record with no compromise in mind, and never predictable. A genre spanning experiment within the strict frame of Fett man's aesthetics. Deep, personal and wonky, with a psychedelic and emotional touch!
Sound wise, always looking back to move forward!

These run of releases on ‘Existence Is Resistance’ comes from the Legendary Proto Garage Record Label ‘Same People’, and see’s Persian & Long time musical partner DJ Texsta, repressing some of their most pioneering UKG E.P.s.

The year is 3030. Cruising from galaxy 2 galaxy with Artificial Intelligence @ the helm, intergalactic cruise liners have become so advanced that they have developed the ability 2 create their own personalities, feel emotions and ultimately fall in luv.

Rising Manchester star FINN takes the helm for the next release on Ruf Kutz with two hyper-real contemporary raw bangers crafted for maximum emotional impact backed with remixes from RK big guns RUF DUG & GLOWING PALMS.

Even though he's a comparative youngun, this is by no means Finn's first time at the rodeo - he's a label boss, an NTS pioneer, a Boiler Room veteran, a Defected Records Old Boy and also holds down the coldest twitter account on the information superhighway. It's a big deal to us that we managed to snare him for a release on his ascent to whatever accelerated dimension he is headed for.

Purposely conceived as raw club tracks after a heavy Paul Johnson listening session, TRICK TRICK and BELLE THEME contain many of his beloved hallmarks while also showcasing new creative pathways - the title of the EP surely alluding to what Finn is about to pull from up his sleeve...

Opener TRICK TRICK is many things all at once - a raw turbo-jacker, a hugely emotive bassline roller, a super-fresh club banger that has few elements, yet uses them with such efficiency it's impossible not to be drawn up into its vapour trail.

BELLE THEME winds the pace & harmonic tension up with manic abandon as we find ourselves in Finn's familiar 130-plus territory but while the tempo is slamming he somehow manages to drape everything in a lacy coating, as if we were playing a bonus level from a lost Studio Ghibli PS1 beat-em-up.
Back in the real world we flip the record for 2 textbook Ruf Kutz remixes. First up label boss RUF DUG guts Trick Trick and serves up the fillet on an unashamedly tech-house bed, purpose-built for DC10 circa 2009 - meanwhile Ruffy's partner in crime GLOWING PALMS dips into his secret stash of double doves and takes Belle Theme for an unforgettable night out in a Burnley warehouse.

Of the release Ruf Dug says "It's been a big thrill to follow Finn"s development over the years since we first met. I've been hoping to collaborate with him for quite a while so for it to be finally happening especially at this stage in his career is a genuine mega buzz!"
Finn says: "Been a keen Ruf Kutz fan since Rachel's Team in 2016! So happy to contribute to the label with two rough (ruf) and ready club tracks - late night/early morning hymns"

Dutch Techno master Orlando Voorn has opened up his archive for the second essential instalment of an ongoing artist focused series brought to you by new imprint Above Board Projects. The compilation will be spread across 2 double 12" volumes and will feature tracks from many of Voorn's pseudonyms including; Fix, Baruka, The Ghetto Brothers, Mute & many more. We are proud to introduce the first of a 2-part archival collection entitled 'Diligence'. Each track featured on the compilation has been carefully selected and programmed in conjunction with Orlando Voorn and the Above Board Projects team. Voorn has an extremely long and storied career in making music and is severely underrated as a producer in our humble opinion. His DJ skills are, of course, legendary, with him winning the prestigious DMC mixing championships in 1986 in his native Holland and making a career as one of the country's leading Hip-Hop DJ's. As a producer he has long been linked to numerous legendary producers and releases, counting labels such as Fragile, Metroplex and more as homes for his output. His association and collaborations with Detroit have been the stuff of legend since day one and some of the music contained within these compilations celebrate that while showcasing some of the more overlooked tracks from the man's more than extensive catalogue. Part 2 opens with the minimalistic bladerunner Techno of Voorn & Juan Atkins' Infiniti classic 'Game One', a true modern classic, also featured is the rolling, paranoia inducing late night groove of 'Dream World' from one of Voorn's more obscure projects Complex, all showcasing a wide variety of styles and sounds. Flawless selections from the early 90's sitting alongside later productions only go to show how diverse and talented an artist Voorn is and how fresh and vital his music still is today. An essential collection for any serious techno lover. All tracks fully licensed and remastered with the full permission of Orlando Voorn. Remastering and lacquers by Curvepusher. Compiled and directed by the Above Board Projects team. Design and layout by atelier Superplus. 2019.

MULTI CULTI

Following the rapturously received top ten album 'Our Love', which has dominated end-of-year lists, Caribou has revealed a gloriously layered remix of 'Your Love Will Set You Free' by the one and only Carl Craig.

Dan Snaith had this to say about the remix 'Carl Craig is a peerless remixer. I've dreamed of having him remix one of my tracks for ages. He was one of the first people to publicly mention how much he liked 'Swim' when it was released and we've been in touch since then. Before I'd gathered up the courage to ask him to remix a track on this album he got in touch and suggested it himself. The result is superlative and speaks for itself.'

House pioneer Thee J Johanz reworked his 1992 Irdial house classic 'Move Your Butty'. With remix by Prins Thomas and the sublime remastered 1992 original.

The original Move Your Butty (1992) gained cult status and the time seems right for a re-release of this gem. It was originally out on the legendary London based Irdial Records. Thee J Johanz decided to replace samples with synths, which gave him the freedom to create a totally fresh and moody remix, good enough to keep our butty's moving for the next 20 years. The strings of the Elka Synthex give you wings, while the typical Move Your Butty bassline is pumpin you up. Expect the unexpected from Prins Thomas' remix: very refreshing funky eighties electro vibes, or is it the sound of the future An original approach with an oasis of Move Your Butty references in the middle. An excellent remix of the remix.

Dubsided continue to release bass heavy electro house, and we welcome the follow up EP to Sticky K's previous Dubsided release. 'California EP' is a wonky 4 tracker stacked with all the right elements and surprising hooks.

Check out the mad vocal drops in 4 minutes into 'California', cheeky and a little barmy

Groundbreaking scientific news from the franconian space hq. ministers Johannes Albert and Johannes Paluka did some research on the moon for their new moon-project. They told us about the days and that it's not that quiet anymore up there as people thought so far. Don't expect weightlessness up there, expect more Abfahrt, they report. But they also discovered new robot dance moves in the nighttime. Better known as the dark side. As always international interest in this is huge. Moon, the first franconian techno-scientifics in space, checked out the area with very special research findings. Smells like future historical stuff.

CGI is proud to present the long overdue vinyl debut of Cc, one of the most talented DJ's and producers currently working outside of the limelight. This release follows up 'Up Wind', his outstanding 2012 digital EP for JASS, and precedes his forthcoming debut 12' EP for Proper Trax.

Designed to appeal to DJs and House fans seeking hard, funky, and effective club weapons, Cc's sound is informed by years spent honing his skills in clubs in Chicago (as heard on the funky and direct house workout of 'Calvino Italo') and as a resident DJ for No Pain In Pop in London (the UK Garage rhythms adapted to Cc's own deep and distinct sonic pallette on 'Shackles'). Cc now holds it down in the Southern states as a resident at Atlanta's HUNGER club night and Savannah's Cape Fear.

The flip-side of the record contains 2 tracks by Golden Donna, an incredibly unique and talented producer who is following up last year's stunning debut LP for Not Not Fun with two deep, moving, and melodic cuts of some extremely adventurous and almost ambient electro. Rich, pronounced melodic textures encourage deep introspection as they collide with uncommonly fresh rhythms, making this a workout for the mind as well as the body.

'WINGS' is taken from THE INVISIBLE's album 'RISPAH', and comes with an exquisite remix from Floating Points !
While the lead track from Mercury Nominated indie-electronic mopey types The Invisible is a goodun, our money's on the phenomenal remix from the ever on-form Floating Points. Taking the crunchy drum-machine rhythm, tape hiss and guitar jangle from the original, Sam Shepherd reconfigures the track into a near eight-minute opium opus, whimsical synths and all. Funnily enough Dave Okumu's haunting vocals sound even more focused here as Shepherd tranforms them into a ghostly memory, reframing them as a complex recollection of loss. It's harrowing and beautiful stuff
