Collecting orders for repress

Justin Cudmore is the latest in the line of midwesterners to emerge from the Brooklyn music scene, hailing originally from Illinois. And you can hear it in his music, that mesmerizing midwestern groove and deep heady thoughtfulness. He debuted on Honey Soundsystem Records, has released on The BunkerNY and is member of Hot Mix, a DJ trio that also includes Mike Servito and Gunnar Haslam.
.
To celebrate 10 years of No Way Back (a regular party in Detroit...and beyond), the label is launching the Acid Series, a series of records on Interdimensional Transmissions inspired by the No Way Back parties. The Acid Series includes submissions from Tin Man & Ectomorph, Jasen Loveland, Justin Cudmore, BMG & Derek Plaslaiko, Jordan Zawideh, Dona, and Romans. They all arrive in a unique sleeve especially created for this series, inspired by the decorations of NWB. The first 2 volumes of the Acid Series will be available in the merch booth during all 313: Return to the Source events, including No Way Back.

finally, after a being one of the most featured artists on mindcolormusic, bromic put together a selec for a longplayer.
manifold influences between acid, idm, sometimes bass or even funky, drawn together in these trax, creating so many different mood shades between hyperactive or happy, energetic and playful acid, things to call ‘horror house’ appeal like a new kind of music even.
a solid statement, but still just a peak on the works of this dude from bergamo, italy.
i really enjoyed compiling this one, also had an interesting journey that i hope i can share by releasing this!

Second release of greta wohlfahrt. three tracks of post-techno lucidity in sound on 33,3 rpm black vinyl find their way to a noisy surface of modern worlds decay. first track „jargon der eigentlichkeit“ is a 12 minutes long growing journey into the acid electro continuum, evolving from halftime to a 4/4 beat and runs out into particles of a dying handclap. on the flipside „-„ is a dark melody synth track mostly made with soviet synth faemi-1m and „ausweichquartiere“ a more uptempo post-techno and new-wave punk track with a more live performance feeling and wild structure.

Greta wohlfahrt is both the labels name as it is the name of an unknown, invisible collective of electronic flâneurs and boulevardiers.

Produced in the beginning of 2019 in Huehuetenango(Guatemala) and final mix down and additional production in spring 2019 in Verona(Italy), the 2x12" LP draws on the project's roots in order to locate itself in the modern day. string of club bangers combined with convulsive breaks and bleepy motifs dive into electro-acid-wave. The 10 tracks includes a collaboration with 80s italian new wave band Victola. Victrola is the duo of Antonio "Eze" Cuscinà and Carlo Smeriglio from Messina, Italy. The band formed in 1979 but shortly thereafter relocated to Florence take part in a rich musical scene alongside Neon, Pankow, Alexander Robotnick, and Diaframma. Since the launch of his imprint Istheway in 2015, Verona-based producer Omar Contri aka Shinoby has laid the foundations to a fruitful body of work that defies categories and easy classification.

JIN 03 EP presents a 4 track EP from Osaka's Ground. True to his unique soul that's reminiscent of a nomad, traversing the planet, befriending kindred spirits found in humans and various environments, this EP presents 4 pieces of unique grooves that ranges from the more euphoric vibe to both daytime & night time of a winter season surrounding a temple.

On A side "Osakacid" comes in two versions : A1 original version is a slow motion acidic tripper under the winter street of Osaka city lights. Long Flight Version features Mayuko, 1/2 of ambient, electronica duo Synth Sisters. Soothing melody layered with Ground's goofy acidic flavor compliments perfectly with each other.

B1 turns to the pure creative side of Ground. "Stone Bridge" is based on a local bridge that connects to a temple nearby his country side home outside of Osaka. Mystic and minimalistically punchy, this cut digs deep into the soulful side of Ground's ever nomadic approach. B2 comes in a complete shock: Ground's longtime friends in Thailand - Mogambo twists up "Stone Bridge" into a psychedelic, GOA fused floor shaker that takes you to an imaginary zone of raving inside the temple late into early morning.

5 tracks of pure heat of various styles from members of The Black Lodge global family. A1 is entitled "Atmospheres" from the ever-talented Michigan producer JTC aka Tadd Mullinix Bopside/Nation/Ghostly. A2, entitled "Arreskni" comes from newer Chilean artists MU-GA, a track we released in digital format last year from their debut EP. Finishing off the A-side is Italian super-duo SONS OF TRADERS SOT/Frigio/Black Lodge aka Tans X Mike Tansella Jr. with the acidic cut "Indianapolis" also released last year by BL on tape and digitally from their first full length album entitled "Crollo Nervoso". Side B blasts off with the early Chicago house inspired track "Passion" by prolific Dresden producer SNEAKER Uncanny Valley/Rat Life/Frigio. Closing off the comp is a dirty warehouse banger/burner by e-spirit, a new alias from LA producer DELIVERY LA Club Resource/Valcrond Video.

For the 24th release of Zodiak Commune Records, Florence based underground Buio Club owner Sour has squeezed the best out of his analog gear collection! These tracks will get the crowd straight into pure acid bless. Hypnotizing 303 basslines are supported by solid kickdrums, rattling hats and clever percussion. The subtle synths supply that extra dimension where we all like to be. This 4 tracker will supply you with some serious dancefloor fuel, that will keep the crowd craving for more.

"Dusk"
Uplifting acid for the dancefloor, driven by solid kicks and a fast pulsating bassline. However uplifting this track may be, it will subtly drag you into dusk as the track progresses.

"Ataraxis"
While your body and eardrums receive some serious stimulation, mental stress or anxiety will be absent, overruled by this acid banger in it's purest form.

"Hexa"
With Hexa, Sour knows how to roll the dice again. Acid lines gently creep into the pounding beats creating mayhem on the dancefloor.

"Portal"
Energetic percussion pushes you into the Portal, wondering what's on the other side. Exiting hypnotized and disoriented, not knowing what happened and wondering what it is that makes you feel so fulfilled.

Mysterious duo 999999999 finally make their debut on their own new label, NineTimesNine, delivering three hypnotic and deadly acid techno stormers.

FAT techno acid Coronna Killa

Acid fans may well be aware of DJ Arg (also known as Faceless Junkies Deluxe) and know that the man is a machine, literally churning out hundreds of the nastiest and most purist 303 based Techno and House tracks and uploading them with alarming regularity to his soundcloud pages .

Super Rhythm Trax is proud to present to you his first vinyl release, it was really hard to decide on just four tracks, but these ones were jumping out for a release. Sick and twisted 303 abuse for lovers of the silver box.

Mid 90s Holy Grail alert! Subwax Distribution welcomes Future Monument! Run by legendary underground DJ and producer Justin David from 1995-1997.

We are now reissuing this label which features some of the finest fusion's between early Tech House, Detroit and Deep House, all mixed together in a perfect blend. Highly recommended!

As Frankie Bones eloquently noted, “the five year run of Plus 8's sub-label Probe sometimes would seem to be putting out better releases than its parent label”. One of those indelible releases was ‘The Arrival’, signed by Casey Tucker under his Variable Frequency Technician moniker. “Cross Section”, the anthem that closed the B-Side of the original 1995 release, is getting now a re-release on Certain Music with two remixes from Fit Siegel and Marc Piñol plus a proper retake from Tucker himself.

It’s hard to tell what’s the most interesting feature of this singular track. Above all is a sharp and defining concoction of what listening to underground techno in the 90s was: warm and blissful chords over a metallic rhythm section, intrincate hi-hats, syrupy synths and a rubber-like bassline —you name it, the track covered it. Tucker’s 2021 remix keeps the vibe pretty much where it originally was, but now building things wider, tremendously three-dimensional and diaphanous. More than a remix, it’s a way to appreciate Tucker’s genuine evolution as an artist over the last three decades.

On the flip side, Fit Siegel signs an acidic and jazzy rendition full of twists and turns: keeping the groove in check while showing an infinite array of layers and melodic ingredients. Marc Piñol does pretty much the opposite while keeping the acid intention, building a ponderous bass-driven track with vocal delays, repetitive percussions and periodic glimpses of Tucker’s exquisite synths.

Superb acid techno-tribe, full of creativity, morphing, new ideas, drop squrprises...
Thin and thick. fat tricks here !!

ENJOY !

Italian producer Caramel Chameleon has delivered a brilliant EP with five tracks of moody and lushly rolling IDM beats and acid lines. First

Eluize returns to Craigie Knowes to release her second album in the form of the beautifully eclectic 8-track 'Gone' LP. Experimental sounds feature alongside club-ready Techno and Electro - moving effortlessly and coherently across genre and influence. 'Gone' captures the full-spectrum of Eluize's mastery of songwriting, composition and production in all of its shimmering intricacy. Her take on synthesis, drum programming, mixing and original vocals and lyrics take you by the hand and lead you into a rich garden of colour and sound in what is likely her most accomplished work to date. The 12" version is accompanied by an A5 insert with a message from the artist and information on how to get your hands the digital files, including the final 2 tracks that complete the album.

After over a year in lockdown Love Love launches LOVLTD, a new series of limited records containing the tuffest system boomers and shakers.

All the 12”s are graced with artwork by foundational UK graffiti legends A.W.E ‘All World Experts’ est 1984- most notably Keen and Check.

A very Acid Cheez style there, Electribe with one song about Hathor, the Egyptioan mother godness of the Sky, Pleasure and Dance.

The flip brings a wicked acid techno mix.

Another X-Kalay OG returns to the label this summer and we couldn’t be happier :) It’s not a huge overstatement to say that Lucas’ first record on X-Kalay, “Ataraxia”, was somewhat of a milestone in the development of both artist and label, and it has been a huge pleasure to see him go from strength to strength since its release just over two years ago. These days it’s fair to say that Lucas is one of the most exciting young artists in the game - with a finely crafted knack for electro, and the 303 in particular, pretty much second to none. We’re super proud to welcome him back with his next effort -“Lifeforms”.

The emotive opener is “Amongst us in Harmony” - steadily building through deep pads and bouncing arps, the now trademark Lou Karsh acid bassline ever present. Coming in over 8 minutes, it’s a truly galactic track. “Internally Vexed”is a more stripped back affair. The breaksy groove is underpinned by the snappiest of snares and shrouded in celestial pads, the masterful use of the 303 demonstrating one of the sharpest and slickest basslines you’re likely to hear this year >:0

On the flip, “Alien With a Subwoofer (Skyline Mix)” is pacey club material built around deep wobs, a seriously wiggly 303, and carefully constructed pads building subtle tension. The sound of aliens redlining straight through your hood. Rounding things off, title track “Lifeforms” is beautifully crafted deep electronica; full of emotion and lush pads, otherworldly atmospherics and yearning synths.

This is a special record, and some of Lucas’ best work without a doubt. Don’t sleep!

Two decades. Twenty years. Twenty compilations. Over 400 tracks. Over two days of total playing time and countless coloured dots. If someone would have told us in 1999, when we put together TOTAL 1 that this would turn into one of the longest standing compilation series in techno world we would have laughed out loud. But here we are – in the year 2020 which will probably go down in history as the most difficult period ever for club culture. But we won’t stop doing what we’re doing. Music is our oxygen. We’ll dance together soon again.

The TOTAL series has always been like KOMPAKT’s yearbook and to say it with the late Frank Sinatra: It was a very good year. Our family of artists delivered a strong heterogeneous mix of uplifting sounds, from the lush reveries of ROBAG WRUHME and SOELA to the stark primetime bangers of MARC ROMBOY or ANNA & KITTIN and everything in between. Notable new entries to our crew are the Londoner KIWI with his wonderfully careless “Hello Echo” that picks up the camp disco vibes Justus Köhncke made a staple in our repertoire. Amsterdam’s DAVID DOUGLAS delivers an appetizer for a full course meal. His quirky pop approach sits comfortably between fellow dutchmen WEVAL’s abstract beats and AGENTS OF TIME’s opulent Italo Disco. YOTAM AVNI blends Detroit techno with new age jazz that reminisces the sound of ECM artists like Jan Garbarek or John Surman. The man with the hat, KÖLSCH also picks up jazzier notes in his very own big room style. Youngblood JONATHAN KASPAR appears twice, fortifying his status as one of the hottest beat smiths of our hometown Cologne. TOTAL wouldn’t be TOTAL without our permanent staff present in full force. As per tradition, KOMPAKT’s founding fathers, VOIGT & VOIGT, JÜRGEN PAAPE, JÖRG BURGER, MICHAEL MAYER as well as our Berlin outpost SASCHA FUNKE all deliver exclusive gems that also feature on Total 20’s double vinyl edition.

May TOTAL 20 become your trustworthy companion in these uncertain times.

Zwei Dekaden. Zwanzig Jahre. Über 400 Tracks. Über zwei Tage Gesamtspielzeit und zahllose bunte Punkte. Wenn uns jemand im Jahr 1999, als wir die erste TOTAL zusammengestellt haben, gesagt hätte, dass sie der Startschuss für eine der langlebigsten Compilation-Reihen in der weiten Welt der elektronischen Musik werden würde - wir hätten wahrscheinlich laut gelacht. Aber hier sind wir, 2020, ein Jahr, das wahrscheinlich als eines der schwierigsten Jahre für die Clubkultur in die Geschichte eingehen wird. Aber: Wir machen weiter. Musik ist unser Sauerstoff. Und wir werden hoffentlich bald wieder zusammen tanzen. Die TOTAL Serie war schon immer unser Jahrbuch. Und um es mit dem großen Frank Sinatra zu sagen: It was a very good year. Denn unsere Künstlerfamilie hat uns auch in den vergangenen 12 Monaten zuverlässig mit einer kunterbunten Mischung großartiger Musik beglückt, - von den tiefen Träumereien eines ROBAG WRUHME oder der russischen Wahlberlinerin SOELA bis hin zu den kompromisslosen Technobangern eines MARC ROMBOY oder von ANNA & KITTIN und den vielen Schattierungen dazwischen. Beachtenswerte Neuzugänge unserer Label-Familie sind dabei der Londoner KIWI mit seinem herrlich sorglosen "Hello Echo", das nahtlos an die campen Disco-Visionen eines Justus Köhncke anknüpft. DAVID DOUGLAS aus Amsterdam macht es sich stilistisch zwischen seinen Nachbarn WEVAL und AGENTS OF TIME's opulenten Italo Disco gemütlich. YOTAM AVNI beschreitet neues musikalisches Terrain mit einer kunstvollen Symbiose aus Detroit Techno und New Age Jazz, die uns angenehm an Jan Garbarek oder John Surmans große Momente auf dem Münchner ECM Label erinnert. Auch KÖLSCH experimentiert an der Schnittstelle von Jazz zu seinem hochenergetischen Big Room Sound. Der Kölner JONATHAN KASPAR findet sich gleich zwei Mal auf TOTAL 20 und untermauert damit seinen Status als heißester “Newcomer” der Domstadt. TOTAL wäre nicht TOTAL, wenn nicht das gesamte Stammpersonal mit neuen, exklusiven Stücken vertreten wäre. Die Gründerväter VOIGT & VOIGT, JÜRGEN PAAPE, JÖRG BURGER und MICHAEL MAYER dürfen dabei ebenso wenig fehlen, wie unser Berliner Außenposten SASCHA FUNKE. Wie gewohnt finden sich die exklusive Stücke auch auf der TOTAL 20 Doppel Vinyl Edition. Möge Euch TOTAL 20 ein verlässlicher Begleiter in diesen unsicheren Zeiten sein.
