u.dig presents their first release from Mariano Mateljan providing 2 modern minimal house cutz

Here we are with the first Release on Adroit Recordings.  Zurich based Label, founded by different guys, born to give space to the underground Music. Herewith we present our first Ep produced from one of the Label Owners Sam Angelo aka Saime. He presents three original tracks with a Underground and aggressive sound plus one remixes from Isolated Lines.

Ukrainian producer Vakula, whose name is linked to the early days of Arma, re-emerges with Techno Game.

With almost 50 digital releases in the space of 8 years, it's about time we gave the vinyl junkies what they want: Lazerslut on wax. An intense studio period recently took place and the three originals on this release come straight from the obscure soul of Miro, a genius mind backed by two decades worth of music production experience. The EP comes topped with a remix by Troy Pierce.

A1: I Believe In You is unerringly THE Pajic-sound! On a tight groovin' bass line, the low sneaking voice babbles on a bubbling background until a nasty squeak makes the track go mad.

A2: Ghetto Haus has nothing to do with today's G-House movement. It's Miro's definition of a loopy voice cut, grazing on a seemingly endless cheep with a dirty bass to match.

On the B-Side, Troy Pierce delivers a masterful slice of weirdness with the Jak Da Beat Remix of I Believe In You. The Items&Things producer induces mysterious spaces on a beat full of suspense, creating an ideal backdrop for those more special experiences.

Last but not least, See The Stars shows once again how tight rhythms can be. Shuffled hats and well-directed bass stabs create the flow for a trippy, grinding voice - very sexy. Not one to be missed!

Tensei Records is a new project emerging from the undergound scene of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Pikun & Salah Deux join forces and deliver Are Hara, the first release of the label. A blend of organic, hypnotic percussion and abstract synthesizers. A unique combination of grooves and controlled atmospheres.

Volupso 6 is from Italy and delivered by Riccardo Rizza, 2 groovy tech house tracks, perfectly fitting for the dancefloor, accompanied by a remix on the flipside from Alex Celler who delivers his Eprone Dub Version. Enjoy xx

The anniversary vinyl in the anniversary year! The tracks for the vinyl were also not selected by the label, but could be determined in the spring in an online campaign by fans. The winners - some unreleased, exclusive, tracks or Fresh out - landed at vinyl number fifty in special KraftPac Cover and great touch - each individual pieces by hand-painting and hand numbered!

RELIGIO is glad to present the first VA series of the label rigorosely on Vinyl only.

A side is from Lillo and Fulvio Ruffert & Gregorio Serasin, both Minimal and deep tunes, Lillo's track is more big deep bass and bouncy instead the creature from Fulvio and his mate is focused on the mesmering soundscapes and deep dub melodies..

B side is from FNR and Kitkalt the FNR tune is very organic and sexy and from his kind of producing very analog stuff taste, Kitkalt delivers a more techy track, dark and shiny at the same time, a tune for smashing the dance floor..

A good VA for RELIGIO a black wax for all kind of situation!

"With its HQ in rural Germany - Rockets & Ponies is a coterie for the outsiders - those 'too strange for the normal business' with an ethos that fosters freedom of expression, experimentation and an avant-garde approach.

So who better to present a remix package of works by Jazz luminary Wolfgang Haffner that includes Ricardo Villalobos & Max Loderbauer, Nightmares on Wax, and label padrone Timo Maas.

'Prolific' doesn't quite cover Haffner's creative output. With a career that spans over 30 years beginning in the German and French Jazz Ensemble and moving on to collaborative works with the likes of Chaka Khan, Bill Evans and Roy Ayres Haffner has appeared on over 350 recordings.

The selected material within this package is taken from his latest album 'Heart Of The Matter' released through The ACT Company in 2013 - 'Bing' and 'Luna' are twisted, stretched and reformed by the eminently prestigious roster of remixers.

First in is Ricardo Villalobos - an exalted genius and champion of freedom of expression with previous releases on Perlon, Playhouse, Cadenza and Cocoon who pairs up with regular studio partner Max Loderbauer for a wonderfully elongated, no-holds-barred dissections of 'Bing'.

Loderbauer himself, as a master of audio design, injects experience assimilated from sharing his studio with Tobias Freund and together the pair opt for their regular method of developing tracks on modular machines using no overdubbing or multitrack mixing.

On the flip, who better to offer an alternative take on 'Luna' than Rockets & Ponies co-founder Timo Maas. Following up his 'Lifer' LP and his 'Tantra' and 'Articulation' EPs, Maas steps in with his brash and physical reworking of 'Luna' that he creatively re-images into a billowing beast.

In doing so he further substantiates his own left-field productions and indeed, Rockets & Ponies is an entirely unique and creative experiment capable of producing incredible results."

Finally, previous collaborator with Haffner himself, Nightmares on Wax steps in with a typically balmy, Rhodes-heavy revision of 'Luna'. The longest ever serving artist on Warp Records opts for signature dosages of Dub, Soul and Jazz that he's perfected and refined over his long and illustrious career.'

Caldera made his Cassette Library debut on this summer's Various Artist release - We Are Family Vol.3 - with the excellent and well received Techon 2L'. He's back with a full EP's worth of trax that are better than your average. In fact, they're 134% OK. OK

For the second Bad Barbie Records vinyl release of 2016 we are more than exited to bring you the magnificent work from the Bla Bla Music owner Daniel Sanchez with his Impromptu EP. Here we have four amazing pieces where each one tells a different history. The first one Pearled Into Droplets saw the light after a great Live Jam and the result is combination of several layers of base elements with subtle minimalistic articulations. These, in combination of the bass and synths lines do create a truly amazing micro house piece. The second one Vague, is an atmospheric dub were a single synth chord raises in slowly, followed by a very subtle kick and bass line to set a bit of rhythm to the whole thing, creating a superb dreamy vibe while the chords do their thing with delicate reverbs and delays in the backend. A great musical piece indeed. For the third track we have Yi, again another amazing micro house jewel born from a Live Jam, but this one is even more energetic than the first one and it also includes, besides a rocking bass line, analog synth chords that lifts up the mood during specific moments, which also do their part articulating themselves perfectly with some occasional twisted vocals that helps create an amazing party vibe from beginning to end. And if this wasn't enough we also have Bedroom Stories vocal tool that Daniel included with his delivery, which can help spice up a DJ set with ease.

Phaenomena EP is the second release of our Kommuna Tapes imprint. The first side starts with a track produced by Tom Ellis over a decade ago that has been one of our secret weapons for many years. Barbir and Nicola Kazimir from Les Points take us on a faster paced, electroish trip. On the flip side, we are introducing an upcoming Zürich talent - Adva - with two cuts between ambient, dub and minimal. Track by track, we build a Kommuna of artists who share our insatiable appetite for music discovery, guided by a certain vision of the dancefloor: deep stripped-down grooves, sometimes challenging, always with character.Limited vinyl & tape label. Based in Barcelona, curated by CMYK & Rubi.

Late April will see Decay Records return with a new release from Hector, entitled the
'Womb' EP and accompanied by remixes from The Mole and Dan Farserelli.

Mexican producer and DJ Hector's career has been on a meteoric rise for some time now with his material being snapped up for many leading imprints in the industry such as Leftroom, Tsuba, Desolat and Mobilee. The Barcelona based artist also maintains a heavy touring schedule taking him across the globe to hot spots across Europe and the United States and recently launched his own VL Recordings imprint to critical acclaim, here though we see him back on the rising Decay Records imprint out of the UK with some fresh new material.

Up first is the original mix of 'Womb' which takes on a slowly brooding percussive feel via murky drum hits, thundering sub bass tones, swirling vocal murmurs and bubbling dub echoes. The Mole steps up to rework 'Womb' next and typical fashion the Canadian artist delivers an entirely unique take on things with atmospheric field recordings, intricately evolving synth layers, crunchy percussion and the originals infectious sub bass hook making for a refreshing listen.

Londoner Dan Farserelli reshapes 'Womb' next, taking things in a slightly different direction with swinging low-slung drums, snaking sub bass grooves and hypnotic chords fluttering away in the
depths of the record. Lastly to round off the package is Hector's second original 'Da Morning After', which as the name would suggest takes on a hypnotic after hours feels with ethereal pad swells and a raw rhythmic drive.

Bulgarian up and coming producer KiNK, brings us his debut release on Ovum. On the A side, KiNK brings us Rachel. Give you a deep percussive journey that gives a nod to all the things that you love about early Chicago house. This deep raw track takes you on many twists and turns. What starts as a lush beauty builds into a raw energetic monster. As the synth mid bass kick in the tracks takes on entirely new energy. It continues to build as the strings come in and we reach full climax. On the B side KiNK has delivered another peak time monster in Existence. Inspired once again by the sounds of Detroit and Chicago, KiNK has created a rolling track that is driven by building percussion and driving synth stabs. Just when the energy has built to a frantic pace, KiNK flips things and brings in the driving piano line. Full hands in the air time!

Re-Press!! 2nd EP after their great debut "Collar EP" on Elected Tunes. Early support by Stephan Bodzin, Tomcraft, Nudisco, Len Faki, DJ Misjah, Monika Kruse, Franco Bianco, Oliver Klein, James Zabiela, Superstrobe and many more.

The idea behind Decision Making Theory is to propose some stripped down no-nonsense techno, aimed directly at the dancefloor. DMT's first one-sided 33 rpm coloured vinyl release consists of two tracks by Knotweed Records owner Philippe Petit. 'Give' starts with some spaced-out chords and then shifts into a dubby Detroit inspired floor filler. The second track, 'Take', is a much darker heavy peak-time affair aimed at blowing the roof off!

Support by: Nina Kraviz, Ben Klock,Session Restore, Thomas Hessler, Mattias Fridell, Hydergine...

NOON RECORDS presents NO UP NO DOWN EP NR 008

NOON means midday, the time when the sun is at its highest each day, even if we cannot see it. It is the moment of greatest light, where one cycle ends and another begins. It is the end of the day and the beginning of the night. It is that brightest moment that always leads us to the darkest one, and vice versa.

THE EP
Don`t you get fooled by the name of our 8th release! NO UP NO DOWN is the main title and the song itself is everything but linear. The organic percussion rhythms in combination with the warbling subbassline gets you into the groove from the first moment. The booming kicks and rough-hewn hats is lending a vibrant edge to the mix. A morphing ethereal guitar riff, filtered to the edge and the slightly insane giggeling vocal effects, carry you away in a chant-like hypnosis. Nothing here feels like a static loop. It's a masterclass in restraint, tension built to breaking and then get resolved.

MOLIENDO comes with a more fragile and porous drum programming, held together by the slapping hi-hat. When the choral vocals sneak into the arrangement, this fragility transforms into something beautiful and timeless. Exactly the way we like it.

Listening to AYPURA, you can literally see the sun rising. A driving bass fundament combined with serpentine conga grooves and this wonderful piano hook. One for the early club mornings.


THE ARTIST
Manuel Vobis aka SITHÓU is maybe better know as part of his other Project BUNTE BUMMLER. With releases on Labels such as JAMIE JONES`s imprint HOT CREATIONS, 8BIT, LITTLE HELPERS and many others. The Mannheim based youngster is kicking off with his solo project and delivering finest dancefloor material from the first release on. We can`t wait to hear more and we are happy to welcome him to NOON Records with this wonderful EP.

THE REMIX
REBOOT
Following our tradition, REBOOT puts hands on the main track NO UP NO DOWN. His version stays very true to the original and adds a little bit of extra dancefloor ingredients in his very own style. Enough talking - let`s dance!

Once again calling upon a wealth of closely associated talent, Moon Harbour now serves up the latest
instalment in their family orientated Inhouse compilation. Contributing new and exclusive cuts to the 12 track
affair are label artists old and new, from Sable Sheep to Luna City Express, Sven Tasnadi to Mathias Kaden,
whilst there are also some debut appearances from artists like Anja Schneider or Ninetoes.
Now into its 16th year, the label based in Leipzig and run by Matthias Tanzmann is a leader in its field. Offering
up a rich and diverse take on tech house, it is celebrated for not only dynamite EPs that are as loved by DJs as
they are by dancers, but also for its inventive albums and jam packed compilations. This latest one is another
window into the ever evolving world of Moon Harbour and offers up some real treats along the way.
Things kick off with a first track from label debutant Emanuel Satie, fresh of the back of some big hits on Saved,
Defected and Get Physical. His Now You Know is a rock solid house kicker with tough drums and physical
grooves. Riva Starr then showcases his party starting production credentials with an infectious edit of Paul C &
Paolo Martini, Sable Sheep returns with a dark and ravey contribution in Chaos and label stalwarts Luna City
Express cook up plenty of menace with their atmospheric, siren riddled Call the Police. Berlin tastemaker and
Mobilee boss Anja Schneider then makes a rare move away from her own label to offer the seductive, subtly
jazzy deep house shuffler that is Caracas and Dutch hit maker Sidney Charles summons some slamming old
school magic with his expansive main room tear up, House Is All I Need.
Steel Down from Mathias Kaden is a tightly coiled, bass driven number, label manager Dan Drastic steps out
with the coy aquatic house funk of Room Full of Heroes, Sven Tasnadi builds high pressure and loopy dub
house greatness on Real Box, recent EP artist Zohki goes solo for the airy tech of Crumble and then another
first time Moon Harbour artist, Ninetoes, serves up a restless groove with prying bass and elastic synths that
make you want to shake your limbs. Last but not least, Sabb rounds things out with a light and airy groove that is
well swung, endlessly evolving and stuffed with catchy vocal loops.
This is pure and effective dancing music that comes with plenty of charm and personality and confirms Moon
Harbour and its associates are right at the top of their game. r

Engineer is a new vinyl-only record label from Moscow, Russia. It's minimal and deep techno, new school house and everything that would make you want to listen carefully while you're dancing to it.

First two tracks of Engineer 001 are made by Wyro, they are light and yet very moving with straight forward swinging beat and harmonic pads. Third one is a remix by Silat Beksi - superb dancefloor tool even tho it's filled with pretty weird, experimental synthlines.

supported by Mr.KS, Janeret, Mihai Pol, Bolumar, Nu Zau, Mihai Popoviciu and more.

Melokolektiv's French roots stay firmly put in Blame', his first release as a one man project.
Opening track Blame is a steady tech groove exploration that fits both the dancefloor and late-evening downtime. A mumbling vocal helps build up a slowly ascending tension that lingers on til the end of the track. Children of Alep' starts off on a tribal note, as blunt percussion pads intertwine with solemn bells, but soon delves into the deep tech territory. Punctuated by gritty riffs
and synths, all the initial elements are stripped off and the bassline remains the centerpiece.
Sei A, Scottish producer known for his affinity for bass, injects the track with plenty of bounce. Sub bass bits mix with rattling low end synths, giving the remix an electric feel.
Bass is the key word for the final track as well. Magnetic Woods is filled with raw techno power infused through gripping bass and a minimalist structure. Percussion pounds heavily throughout the full length of the track, while dramatic synth pads set a
very energetic tone.

Ten Years Behind the Scenes - An Anniversary Celebration Keeping anything alive for a decade is worthy of a kudos-but when it comes to club culture and dance music, 10 years is an admirable milestone indeed. For Indigo Raw, it represents another opportunity to bring in the left-field, high-grade dance inducers. And this time, the raison d'etre of the labels tenth anniversary release is a certain infamous duo known as Midnight Operator. Centered around the eponymous creation by Nathan and Mathew Jonson, Behind the Scenes EP is an ode to the kind of off-kilter, moody techno the pair have become infamous for. And on this particular occasion, we're taken for a journey in more than one sense. Equipped with a classic Jonson bass line and a scant little phrase that carries the track all the way through the end, Behind the Scenes is a lesson in transmutation. Sombre beginnings undergo a gradual shift into dancier, sunnier territory-until we are left with the impression that we've tuned into a channel that runs all the way through hills and past Martian wildlife. From dark to light, the brothers lift a veil to reveal a resolutely ecstatic piece of work. One that, in arriving at a very different place from where it sets out, earns all eight minutes of its wandering. In continuation of the jubilee excursion for this anniversary release, reworks of the flagship track have come in from across the globe. From south of the equator, AtomTM delivers an assertive piece that takes the darkest aspects of the Midnight Operator original and, with the help of a relentless stream of stabs and a sped-up beat, brings them into the spotlight. Meanwhile, Nerosky-as in Nerone(indigo Raw label partner) & Fosky-makes their debut with a piece collaborated in the confines of a smoky Catalan studio.

On the A side, we've got 2 tracks composed of rich layers of concrete sounds and strange voice samples over tight drums and percussions. On the flip 'Awayuki (light snow)' is a good example of how piano house can be twisted and stripped down for modern dance floors.

Sobriquet Records second release welcomes label boss Muninn to the helm, following on from his first release on Norse Projekt he delivers his take on the genre House, 2 high driven originals encompassing house and minimal grooves accompanied by Polen boss Inner who delivers his remix on Mysterious Plastic Bottle Croak.

Over the last sixteen years Moods & Grooves has amassed a staggeringly impressive label family that includes names like Theo Parrish, Mr G, Kyle Hall, Rick Wade, Andres & Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodymann. This May the legendary Detroit label returns with a seminal thirteen-track album from veteran DJ & producer Joe Le Bon entitled 'House Music Love Music'.

With this new LP Jarno Eerola aka Joe Le Bon demonstrates his inimitable production prowess, garnered from a musical career spanning more than twenty years and encompassing releases on labels such as International Deejay Gigolo Records, Pro-Tez, Plastik.FM and Blumenbeat. Alongside his own output the Berlin-based artist has written tracks and remixes for numerous producers, most notably composing DJ Hells chart- smashing remix of Tim Deluxe 'Transformations' which saw six continuous weeks at number one on Beatport.

Jarno's polished production ability and aptitude for exploring diverse sounds and rhythms whilst maintaining a resolute warmth and depth to every cut is the most prevalent footnote across the course of the album. For 'Ghosts On Cassette' the Berlin-based producer works whirring space-like atmospherics over hypnotic beats and shuffling snares to dish up a smooth and captivating opener. 'For Yasuni' and 'The Road Is Under Repair' get worked over subtle synth patterns and crisp percussion to offer up some of the more emotive provisions on the album. This in contrast to the deep driving beats of 'House Music Love Music' and the more club-ready tracks like '82 Degrees' or 'Like Cotton Deep Orchestra' truly exemplifies the wide-ranging nature of the album.

All in all Joe Le Bon has structured a sublime body of work that can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home or the middle of a dance floor, each and every track oozes depth and sits as a true testament to his abilities in the studio.

The third release of PNR comes from an upcoming artist from Leipzig. Known for his hypnotic and driving analog live sets in his duo called Pandt with his associate Perm , his trio Called I T O E or as a solo act. Talski is defiantly worth keeping an eye on.
And also checking out his own label "DUR which just released there second EP.
