New born label, ROWLE is ready to take you on a space trip around the universe. New life forms, new experiences, and of course a new sound coming from other planets. Already supported and played by: Raresh, Archie Hamilton, John Dimas, Dan Andrei, Shonky, Petre Inspirescu, East End Dubs, Rich NxT and Seb Zito. In A side we find the well known Jack Wickham with 'Aiol', a dancefloor track with endless rolling drums and some acid sounds inside. After that, a perfect bassline coming up from A2, the canadian talent Paolo Rocco made his best with his 'Vieux Velo'. Instead the B side starting with a more experimental track from the 'hardworking' V.I.C.A.R.I. where bass and Melodies are perfectly mixed together. Fourth track coming out from a new english mastermind, Bobby O'Donnell, that made a superb hypnotic and mental track that you can't overlook.
Wonderful artwork by Juli Jah makes this release 'out of this world'.

Various Artists, 180gr Vinyl Only. Discovering New Parisian Bangers producers.

After one and a half year Ateq is back on Giegling with his second release and some more tropical brainstorming.

Kepler. makes the second contribution to Silencio's catalog with "Planetary Systems I".
With refined ethereal elements rendered from what is surely an eerie origin, "186f", is truly engaging. This track is fueled with a seductive synth heralded by haunting vocals that effectively whisper over its steady, punchy bass line. Meandering in the background is the type of idiophone sound one would associate with a hand-percussion triangle instrument. Its particular effect provides a complex, rolling rhythm that vibrates in a beautiful tone until its objective has been achieved.

On the B-side "452b" is a great track to open up a set with, gentle yet still energetic in how it introduces itself to the audience. It begins with a series of echoing sounds that rise and dive throughout, seemingly reflected off the surface of one's subconscious, in a satisfying manner. Accompanied by a deep pulsating bass line that accents its driving drums, this track will set the tone time and time again.
Imagine the dawning of a realization formed from an inspiring event in nature. The second track, "Luzon", features a laid back tropical tempo and samples that feel transported from a lush, rhythmic rainforest. Kepler expresses this vision within the confines of a catchy groove, utilizing subtle bird sounds and rattles that resonate over layers of atmospheric synth. This is emotional music meant to move a crowd or manufacture a sincere moment of clarity.

2nd output of the Beau Mot Plage collective. Here on this two tracker, they have chosen to put the light on Stellae, a young producer from south of France who has been dealing with his machines for nearly a decade. The two tracks on this EP showcase the last sound inspiration of this talented young man. Selected by the Beau Mot Plage crew, these two tracks are vivid pictures of a journey that stretches through the night; Lavirra could be peak time of it and Kfort both the warming up and the afterhour.

Pierre Codarin continues with his fifth installment of his vinyl
series.

Leftroom continue their rejuvenated, rich vein of subversive form with this dynamite 12' from a man who needs no introduction whatsoever: Alex Arnout.

Long time Leftroom kindred spirit and close friend, first time label artist, here we find the Dogmatik bossman in stone cold groove mode with three crystalline originals and a powerful remix from fellow London-based craftsmasn Voigtmann.

'Phantom Power' ignites the EP with pure signal energy. Unhurried in its gradually twinkling charm, what begins as a dark dubby sound soon flips into a timeless rising harmonic hook that's unabashed in its strong themes of uplift and positivity. Watch as you floor turns to jelly when those chords sweep in. Then drop the Voigtmann remix and watch as every single limb loosens up to that distinctive, fluid dark late nightLondon funk that the Toi Toi Musik founder has made his own.

'Distorted Lens' brings up the rear, leading the B-side with bubbly jacking charm. Molten in its groove shape and flow, it's peppered with vast emotional washes that sweep in and arrest the senses when you least expect it.

Last but not least, 'Ssub Space' closes the show with a crafty flip from bubbling to wriggling. Here we find Alex fixes our focus on the dirtier bottom end of the track. Shifty, switchyand just on the right side of tippy, if this isn't moving your lower lumber, you need to reconnect with a dancefloor very very soon.

Dorisburg Returns To Boss Records With A High Quality Tight Modern Club Release As We Would Expect From Him!. On The A-side 'internet Tension', He Weaves An Augmented And Hypnotic Sonic Fabric. Straight Forward Grooves Merged With Enigmatic Melodies That Leads Your Mind To Abandoned Server Rooms And Haunted Programming Code. A More Elaborated Rhythm Is What Hits You At The Flipside With 'rytm804'. Spacey And Percussive Drumming Paired With Lamenting Bells And Emotive Harmonies Constitute A Hymn That's Otherworldly. Sonic Landscapes That Evoke Feelings Of Futuristic Seances And Interstellar Shamanism. Another Strong Boss Musik Release!!

A new year, a new VisionQuest excursion: rising Romanian Floog is our navigator for this mission and he's coordinated a precision interstellar trip to ease us into a new season.

The timing couldn't be better. Momentum made via his debuts on the likes of Crossed Grooves and Atipic, 'Suprapus' is Floog's boldest, furthest reaching EP to date as he continues to map his own name around the cosmos.

'Suprapus' takes the lead. Romanian for superimpose, it lives up to its title as layers weave with natural ebb and flow. The sense of timelessness is another strong superimposed weave as we're immersed in a haze of foundation elements and a strong rolling funk while driven by future focused beatcraft and production.

This theme is continued on 'Staring At The Sun'. Another wistful piece that stares up with hope but runs with such groove hypnosis you lose any temporal senses, it's both heads-down and shades-down as Floog rolls out into the centre of solar system.

Finally 'Premiza' brings us back home. Darker, gruffer, trippier and relentlessly driving. There's some serious noir magic at play on the tweaked drums, creepy arpeggios and overall sense of tension. Transition in 2019 complete, but don't get too comfortable... Another VisionQuest excursion is awaiting imminently.

Includes Nick Beringer and Julien Sandre Remix

"Masters of minimal groove - Ukrainian duo "Yate" comes next on Mind Series, delivering three, dark mood originals @ Flex EP."

Time for a little Recognition... Pets welcome a true Polish techno founding father to the fold: Jacek Sienkiewicz. DJ since the early 90s, producer since the late 90s and one of the earliest artists to stamp their country down on the techno map; Jacek was one of the first Polish producers to be signed by the likes of Trapez, Cocoon and Klang and laid down the foundations for the likes of Pets founders Catz N Dogz several years later when they emerged as 3 Channels. OG status confirmed, he's remained just as consistent as he is influential. This single is proof: 'SU17' is a bubbling sine cauldron that starts with a simmer but builds to a boil with its ever-morphing, lava-like flow. Expert drum momentum and sudden layers of instrumental help to create a fluid three-track-in-one experience that spellbinds you crowd for the entire eight minutes without realising. 'Mustang' is a cascading synth odyssey that gently rises and falls like an Escher looped staircase. Gradually building in momentum with more of Jacek's signature hypnosis flare, it's not until the drums double up with an almost live-style visceral feel that you realise just how high Jacek's taken you. It comes complete with a star-lit switch from Berlin's serial innovator Tobias, where the synths are deftly refocused and a whole layer of orchestral delight are layered within. The perfect way to follow up last summer's reissue of his 2002 track 'Case Filter' on 'Friends Of Pets Part 3', Jacek and Pets feedback loop of roots, inspiration and future is beginning to warm up...

Nice electro techno oldschool, little pusher.stock found !

With the Audiothentica 007, the DJ and producer Sascha Lebemann from Frankfurt is returning to the sound production scene after a few years. After the Audiothentica 001, he is responsible for the seventh Release on his own label. On the latest AT Records, he was releasing the Output from Acts like Martin Woerner, Franksen, Dominik Musiolik, Broombeck or Frank Leicher. As a longtime resident DJ of the most important and high-quality event series in Frankfurt, Lebemann is constantly setting new standards, also as a signpost for the next generations.

With LIVING, he is releasing an EP away from the current techno hype. In Advance, the four tracks have already been created within the last six years. Minimal Techno works, with a slight tech-housy influence. Extremely groovy. His personal tributes to his experience.

LIVING - The title track promises a hymn-like feeling. Summery grooves, percussions and synths push the track to the limit of the euphoria.

Arrival - This production can be compared with a landing of extraterrestrials. An extremely powerful tune, which should convince everyone from the second break at the latest. More Groove goes barely.

Los Elefantes Ibicencos - The Ibizan elephants. Having lived for two years in Ibiza, and still loving the island far away from commercialization, the Lebemann processes his feelings for the magical island in one track. Beading Claps and Snares, Spilled Percs - Los Elefantes Ibizencos grooved into the listener's ear.

Lost in Sao Paulo - When the young Lebemann was still on tour with one of the most important electro musicians of our time - in Brazil, more precisely in the 25 million city Sao Paulo. Here you can lose yourself quickly. In this track, however, you will be more likely to find yourself. Warm basses stimulate the synapses of the listener. Lost in Sao Paulo has the same Anthem-Character as the title track Living.

Audiothentica wishes you lots of fun with the latest output, looking forward to every feedback and, of course, about any kind of support.

Ever since hearing Pete Tong announce 'Chica Wappa' as his Essential New Tune back in 2004, we've been following the bold Alex Smoke on his musical journey.

Coming from Glasgow, we've shared a lot of common influences - both from within and outside of the city and we have Alex to thank for introducing and strengthening our love for the likes of Villalobos, Rhythm & Sound, Carl Craig and Actress, amongst others. Although he was a familiar face on the 'minimal' scene, he always operated on his own terms and that's a throughline we've admired throughout his career. Not only is he comfortable releasing techno on Soma and R&S, he's produced for ballet, films and even the NHS.

Over the years, Alex has played at a few seminal parties for us; alongside the likes of Oni Ayhun, James Holden, Helena Hauff and Veronica Vasicka. So we were delighted to be approached by him to work on a record together and it's been really exciting to hear it evolve over time. It would be arrogant to compare it to Thom Yorke's - The Eraser, but it certainly occupies a similar world in our mind. To still be producing innovative and inspiring albums 15 years into a career is no mean feat in this age and it's a great honour to welcome such a musical hero on to the label.

As with the last Auntie Flo album, we're also lining up a very special remix package with a swarm of our favourite producers of the moment and we can't wait to share them with you too over the course of the year.

To celebrate the turn of the year, Cocoon Recordings presents us with the fifth edition of the Dots And Pearls anthology, which has been offering us an exclusive glimpse into Cocoon's treasure trove of demos at irregular i ntervals since 2011. Once again, the eight tracks on show represent a comprehensive snapshot of the current state of club music as 2018 fades into 2019, combining established stars of the scene with eye catching newcomers to create a harmonious overall package.

First up is Berlin production team youANDme, who have been an integral part of the capital's club life for over ten years as well as running the 'Rotary Cocktail' label. Their epic floor filler 'Claret Loss' kicks off the compilation with a refreshingly reduced yet deep Techhouse showpiece as the 'ear circus' begins. In fact that's the name of the next track by promising debutant Florian Hollerith. 'Ohrenzirkus' amazes with a bone-dry bass drum accompanied by an insect squadron and atonal orchestra horns. Little wonder that this bold homage with its sonic claim to immortality also takes pride of place on Sven Väth's 'Sound of the 19th Season". Geneva based, Cadenza producer Quenum then reels in the acoustic madness with the elegant, metallic percussion of 'Blue Mountain", while Croatian mastermind Petar Dundov takes the listener into a highly emotional state of weightlessness with the typically anthemic 'Pyroelectric". Next, Systematic label boss Marc Romboy scores with 'Sequential Error", a perpetually growing ball of energy that lights the way to the dance floor.

Mihai Popescu aka MP returns at Metereze to pursuit his electronic explorations under Niste Treaba series, chapter 2.2.

This chapter goes beyond your usual 4/4 cup of tea, panning the groove between the persistent lo-fi theme, found throughout the whole release, and MP's signature basslines.
The two record sides mirror each other to perfection: as Infusion and DE go deep into the warm feelings triggered by the housier vibes, the melodic pulses from Phy Ness and
Trem get muffled behind the bassline groove to deliver a darker image of the same somehow nostalgic theme.

Suitable for those of us that seek comfort on a late morning packed dance floor, Niste Treaba 2.2 adds another piece to MP's out of the ordinary appearance.

"Drawn and Quartered" once again shows Scott Monteith to be one of modern dub's true masters.

QUADRANTES Three may be a mystical number and seven a holy one, but two and four and sixteen and so-forth are the numbers of science and rationality. When deprived of instruments, only with logic at hand, it is but natural to split our subjects in two, to split them again and again, until the desired number or amount is reached or can be added up from the newly created parts. So we divide a circle, first in half, then again, into four equal parts - into quadrants. On a compass, each represents the space between cardinal points, from North to East or from South to West. On the face of a clock it represents a quarter of an hour. On the weather charts of yore, they represent gradations of cloudiness. The precision of the quadrants is attractive so we experiment. We have precise instruments now, so we divide our cycles into equal parts based not only on two but on three or other prime numbers. Some cycles are longer than others but they all revolve at the same speed and thus exciting, infectuous polyrhythms are created. Like numerous clocks ticking away in a hotel lobby, only the minutes are sometimes made up of 60 seconds, sometimes 40, sometimes 17. This is how we tick away: different people in the same park on a beautiful day, minding our own business but inhabiting the same world. A cacophony of emotions and feelings. Hundreds of hearts, sometimes beating in time, sometimes singing in harmony; all spread across the horizon, each happy or sad in his or her quadrant.

Second release of TOOLOOP (BodyParts sub label). Concentrating on long play groovers, with the caricature story of traditional Russian winter jacket - tooloop provided on each release center.

The music (Part 1) the pair of Chilean artists return to show their characteristic line plagued by shades and differentiating tones, changing rhythms, notes with character and a very own identity
of Liro and Etro Hahn. They disconnect from the massive and show the more verbose and subterranean side of the true Electronic Under Chilean formula. With the invitation of a great
artist like Luc Ringeisen, they close with a rhythmic Remix with flashes of sounds that refresh and accentuate the call to the track of a good club. This is an eclectically created Ep of Electronic Music for Electronic Ears.

The second release on AF Trax, again with all profits being donated to Hope Not Hate, is the debut from Al Jerry who has the following to say -

I was initially picturing Al as an ambivalent character trying to evoke in his music deep issues and emotions related to Middle Eastern cultures, but not without a certain self-depreciating sense of humour and a questionable taste for stereotypical arabesque harmonies.

On a personal level, I'm from a family who is half-French, half-Armenian (from Turkey). I grew up with this sort of historical ambivalence in mind, born and bred in the relatively untroubled French culture but not completely oblivious (how could I) of the troubled past of my modern Armenian ancestry who had experienced the first genocide of the 20th century - which as you may know some people and countries still deny its very existence as we speak now in 2018. So, instead of doing something purely on my personal history and origins, I just wanted to celebrate/acknowledge the modern history of the both fascinating and chaotic Middle Eastern cultures.

When I introduced that vague idea of a project/alias to B with an early version of Sana'a Riots, he got instantly into it. The hybrid feel of the project really allowed us to experiment and mess around with odd tonalities and enthused solos. It was the first time for both of us that we manage to collaborate on an EP with someone else. We had never tried something together before and it actually turned out to be a lot of fun. More to come from Al then :)

AF Trax = Against Fascism Trax and is a new label project instituted by JD Twitch/Optimo Music. Its aim is to make a musical and cultural protest in opposition of rising far right politics and ideology in the world. Encouraging artists to make music intended to interrogate these toxic ideas, and with all label profits donated to Hope Not which campaigns to counter racism and fascism. Against Fascism Trax's intent is to provoke conversation, inform and financially support the opposition to fascist thinking. Its simple idea is that we must do something more than just talking. The moral thing to do is to act

Following a split tape with Ondness on Discrepant's imprint Sucata Tapes , Serpente returns to Tormenta Electrica after its debut with 'Rituais 101' . A circular suite in four interchangeable parts, 'A Noiva ' projects itself as a gateway into off kilter hypnosis summoned from ecstatic polyrhythms, jungle debris, dub tactics and the occasional 4/4 thump via free jazz streams of consciousness. A drawn out percussion workout around the communal fire. Come along. We're here.

Next release for Focus On Egoless By Moray and Javier Carballo aka TERMS.

Vinyl Only / 180 GRAM

Although Itta (Vocals, Harmonium) and Marqido (Analog Synthesizers) have been regular fixtures in Seoul's experimental music community for years, the vinyl release of Spiritual reflects the growing international recognition of their singular sound, described by The Wire as 'meditative synthesized vistas.' Spiritual certainly embodies the meditative element of their music, layering hypnotic modular synth with Indian harmonium drone and Itta's transcendental vocals. This is more than functional music for the metaphysically curious, however. Perhaps more than any of their previous releases, Spiritual offers an open accessibility, owing at least partly to the channeling of krautrock-influenced rhythms. Tracks like 'Luft' and 'Morgen Tempel' wouldn't sound out of place in any DJ set with kraut or psychedelic leanings, while 'Barabonda' and 'Dodeuri' dig deep into a more meditative place, serving as perfect expressions of the album's title and intent. Fans of Neu!, Kraftwerk, Laraaji or Klaus Schulze might find themselves in a comfortable yet unexplored place.

Spiritual was originally released in 2017 as a limited-edition cassette of 250 copies, produced in collaboration with Seendosi, an arts enterprise in Seoul Euljiro district, the city's heart of printing, packaging and electronics manufacturing. The cassette sold out within a year of its production, prompting Extra Noir, who had previously released Tengger's 'Breathe In, Breathe Out' on their Extra Noir Vol. 1 compilation, to propose reissuing Spiritual on vinyl. Working with Seendosi once again, the result is a beautifully produced piece of work. Closely attentive to the band's vision, the gatefold sleeve features rich landscape motifs that evoke Tengger's commitment to earthly travel and the less accessible places beyond. Pressed onto clear vinyl, the design of Spiritual has been carefully constructed to reflect the entirely unique music within: heavy ephemerality, dense transcendence and grounded wanderlust.

For their first release ViGi, the new French - Belgian experimental label, entrusts two underground artists known for their subtle and refined productions - Anton Pau (Bulgaria) and Herck (Romania). Together they masterfully deliver Endless Light as a complete night/ after-hour EP.

Anton Pau brings his solid experience initially built on hip hop beats in 2000s, from where his sound has naturally evolved throughout the years to immerse in techno, minimal and deep.
From the release of his atmospheric In Space on DELOOPED in 2014, featuring artists such SUBLEE, MARIIN, or ALEXANDER KYOSEV (who remixed Anton's P-Loop two years later
for his second EP released on NORSE PROJEKT and was played by PETRE INSPIRESCU or CABANNE), Anton has continuously developed and refined his minimal, murky groove.

On his new Endless Light EP, Anton delivers his finest after-hour vision.On Endless Light, we find here again Anton Pau's unique touch: a groovy beat supplied by a smoothing wavy sound, culminating in a very classy and elegant unfolding, matching the
mental after-hour perfectly.

On his turn HERCK delivers his very own interpretation of Endless Light, which will undoubtedly grab all dancers in a beat ! He revisits the track and brings a wide, rich and musically complex display of pulsating sounds, with a rhythmic and bumpy beatline, supported by a wide array of small and intricate details to light up the dancefloor in a flash !

Separation of The Flower Power continues and completes the mystery of A-side like an absolute and natural progression. With its strong and imposing groovy beat, it progresses constantly and results in a fine, subtle and sombre composition of a brilliant and dazzling darkness.

Early supports by artists like PETRE INSPIRESCU, LIZZ, COSMJN, SUCIU, CALLY, POLARIZE, NU ZAU

birthportal presents its first release featuring tracks from Don Stan.
Swinging drums and wild synths row profuse at Don Stan's. With a bit to look back on and something to hang on to, we arrive at the magic of asking. Luck of any sort may eventually present itself as a heated dance floor, a synchronous connection, or a well-deserved mental disparity. And thus, from sacred cash to elevated divination, there appear many a cut of tech, 'tro, and tracks in between.

The third instalment of the Bodybuilder Quartet has arrived, and once again label boss Nachtbraker adds an exciting name to the Quartet Series manifesto. Moscow native Kuzma Palkin previously released a double 10' and a double 12' on quality Russian imprint Gost Zvuk, but is also known for his productions under his Audiocad (Between Us) and Kausto (Shanti Records) noms de guerre. Make sure to check those out if you haven't already. Here, Kuzma serves up an EP as deep as they come, with greasy, industrial and glitchy sounds floating on steady beats. Title tune 'Macho Culture' is a peaktime roller for darker club spaces with its deep melodic stabs, slapping snares and a haunting synth. Also on the A is 'Muscle Mass Increase', which is cut from the same haunting cloth but comes with an edgy saw synth that will have the punters reach for the lazers. Flip over for 'Proper Sauna Chill', which comes with a thumping kick, beautifully crafted sound design details and an undeniable groove. Closing Kuzma's Quartet Series debut EP is 'Krepkiye Bitsepsky', another showcase of amazing sound design and warped stabs floating over a steady break beat and groovy bass line to round things off nicely.

2018 played host to a bumper crop of sounds from some of Philly's grittiest, including Great Circles mainstays M//R and Chaperone. To close out the year that was, we are pleased to present Heckadecimal's 'Murder Tape.'

A Minneapolis-based producer and acid auteur, Heckadecimal has been a fixture within the vibrant Midwestern electronic music community for nearly 20 years. Founder of the legendary 'Anti-human' events and co-curator of the ever-prolific Always Human Tapes imprint - alongside Ryan Wurst and Peter Lansky - Heckadecimal's reputation is one of unrelenting creativity and tireless advocacy for sonic experimentation. His work has found its way to light via a slew of pseudonyms and stage monikers, including The Worm, noface and Wonder Sirens.

In short - Heckadecimal lives and breathes the sonic matter that he leaves pouring out of studio monitors, busted bar systems and finely tuned rave stacks, wherever his travels take him.
Live performance lies at the core of Heckadecimal's practice. When he stormed through Inciting HQ in Philly earlier this summer, he took command over an arsenal of hardware that reminded us of how Octave One or Shawn Rudiman might show up. These were machines that he had lived with; touched with custom modifications, hand-drawn stickers and pockmarks incurred in battle, one got the sense that the gear was a personal extension of the artist.

Perhaps it's a bit maudlin, but we feel a certain kinship with this project. Indeed, these tracks at times feel very much of a piece with the gnarled tonalities in which our stable typically traffics; all low-slung riddims that reach at equal lengths towards mutated IDM aesthetics and post-Packard Plant techno extrusions. These are future perfect grooves that glide along under the vast Midwestern sky, providing a fertile communication conduit with the City of Brotherly Love.

Give thanks for acid. Great Circles will see you in the New Year..

Music Is Art presents Topper. The fifth release is a superb demonstration of deep minimal Techno. Two fantastic tracks by Topper on the front side and a great remix by Nima Gorji on the back side!
