Vinyl only.

Growin Music is a new experimental & atmospheric label who's first release comes courtesy of the hyper talent, Nicuri.

After having debuted on the KX label compilation (KX 10) last year with the excellent "Subwolfer", upcoming producer KRISZTIAN DOBROCSI continues to craft weighty and soulful dance tunes for his debut album PLAYBACK PHILOSOPHY. The second full-length release coming from KX presents nine sweeping cuts brimming with glistening melodies, succulent synths and earthy, propulsive beats. From the emotive loops of opener AMNETIC CINEMA to the dreamy epic PLANET NINE, the snappy KALEIDOSCOPE or the immersive soundscapes of LIGHT OF ZARTHA, this is a surprisingly mature debut, confidently balancing between deep textures and catchy hooks - making this a aunting and infectious listening experience for all fans of electronic dance music with heart.

After the success of the first release, Hund Records is coming back with a huge Ep from a new young rising star of electronic music: Jerome.c. Already supported by tINI, Robert Dietz, Enzo Siragusa, Loquace, Seb Zito and more all around the world. Jerome gives us two dub tracks with a little flow on raw and alongside there are a remix from Dan Farserelli from the famous Fuse London Crew that hasn't need presentation, and Max J & Coockies, two other talented belgian guys.

Gregor Tresher´s recent full-length album "Lights From The Inside" has been praised by the press, DJs and fans alike as yet another masterpiece in a long line of releases that has cemented Gregor´s status as one of the most consistent artists in modern electronic music. Tracks like "Leaving", "Through The Shadow Glass" and "As Days Go By" (pre-released on Josh Wink´s Ovum imprint) found their way into playlists and charts of many of the usual suspects in the international Techno circuit.

Three new dancefloor weapons from Andre Crom's recent production marathon.
They are results of a journey both in location and style: written mostly during an extended asia tour, the three tracks explore the borders between techno and house, giving proof of Crom's musical evolution.
Both melodic and highly functional, this ep is prepared to hit the clubs and festivals of
the summer.

For this 2nd release , we are very happy to present the young and talented Jamahr & Franko Lopez (IT), includes remixes by Dan Evtimov (BG) and Daniele Melizzi (IT)
Enjoy the Deep & Dub sound and don't miss this masterpieces!!!

For its seventh installment Paragram welcomes two east european talents, Rabotnic and Crihan. 'Bez Tapok' is a deep exploration into dark immersive soundscapes and multi-layered experimental sounds. Each track is a representation of the artists personal take on finely crafted grooves and sound designed elements.

Berlin Atonal Recordings is happy to announce two forthcoming releases, both featuring live cuts from two of the most talked about performances at the 2015 edition of the festival.

Synthesiser genius Max Loderbauer (NSI, Sun Electric, Vilod, Moritz von Oswald Trio) and techno experimentalist Jacek Sienkiewicz (Recognition) combined for a stunning live show on the opening night of festival 2015.

Blending harmonic drones and almost unrecognizably distended vocal samples with adroitly weighted melodic passages, this collaboration was a masterclass in expertly crafted ambient music from two of the genres' leading exponents.

Two passages from this set have been mastered and cut to vinyl in a special 12" with artwork by Pedro Maia based on his visuals for the show.

Magnetic techno attractors. Steel crisis alarm signal funk. Europa-futura rave gyrations.Counterchange founder Ed Davenport returns with his Inland alias after a short hiatus to re-ignite Function's Infrastructure imprint which he co-manages.
An Inland EP also dropped on Boddika's Nonplus+ label last autumn picking up strong support as Ed honed in the project's sound strategy. COUNTER006 continues the conceptual yet dancefloor-friendly approach with an emphasis on bold, metallic textures, classic sci-fi techno theories and ethereal melodic sequences. Footstone is a straight up modern-rave track aimed at the peak hours, its syncopated, mutated synth hook riding atop a tough jack-track. Sinker sets off an emergency self-destruct alarm while dropping a layer of tough Detroit-styled funk on top.
This leaves Leylines to carve a smoother, melodic path through the current European techno landscape; bleepy, bass heavy and forward thinking. Following this EP will be a remix package featuring mixes from Matrixxman, Par Grindvik, BNJMN and Madrid based Pole Group affiliate Ribe. A full artist EP from BNJMN is also ready to drop, as Counterchange primes itself for a busy first half of 2016. Release artwork photographed by Guy Archard. Magnet Study #4, 2015

#3 Live Act of 2013 at Resident Advisor, one of the most in demand remixers around, a total of 156 gigs in 2013, releases for Rush Hour, Ovum, Macro; booked out months in advance from Berghain to Ibiza to the main electronic festivals ... KiNK: Arguably the world of dance music has not witnessed anyone else rising so clearly from bottom to top just by the centrifugal force of sheer talent. Being based in Sofia, Bulgaria, without a support network, a campaign or any media hype, his music alone - live and in the studio - created a momentum whose end we have yet to see. Lenin said: 'Communism is Soviet power + electrification of the whole country.' Hardly did Lenin suspect what an inspired take on these words could do: post-socialist techno. A child of 80's late socialism, KiNK grew up on the home computers Bulgaria's IT scientists had created by backwards-engineering Western technology. Fueled by nuclear energy on the edge of desaster, a whole generation of kids was trained to hack. Dance music gradually dripping in through early dial-up internet connections, the acoustic fingerprints of distant parties put Eastern producers from KiNK to Nina Kraviz to Vakula under a spell. Yet KiNK spent years of backwards-engineering the sounds of Detroit, Chicago and early Warp.

After launching Grokenberger Records and the release of the first EP in March '14, the 2nd one is coming on strong with three new tunes by Philipp Otterbach and Quartier Midi.

On this first release of his newly created imprint, Southsoniks presents a very special track "Just Another Chord Song", extracted from his Live-Act and reworked with care in the studio. This atmosferic and strong techno track cut for the dancefloor is meant to absorb the crowd energy and grow on it as to transform the inherent warmth of its chords into food for the body and soul.
Hosting on the same project three excellent producers, who each have delivered a very special and unique interpretation of the original track, this EP offers something for everyone.
Oniris delivered a fantastic Vangelis-techno remix which is bound to touch any audience and was favored by Laurent Garnier who playlisted it on his PBB radio for months! The more you'll listen to it, the more it will grow on you!
Fabrice Lig, infamous producer from the F-Com era, with countless classic hits took a little detour from his usual sound to bring an amazing ravey remix with a huge dancefloor potential. The additionnal voice he added brings more tension and energy to this brilliant interpretation.
Last but not least, rising french producer MadBen took a straight dancefloor approach with great drumwork to present a very efficient remix, bound to bring people to shake it up! It's a no-brainer on any set you want to step up the intensity one notch.
An overall very complete and high quality project, impregnated with Southsoniks philosophy of music for body and soul.
Early support from Laurent Garnier, Ian Donovan, Nuno Dos Santos, Dj3000, K'Alexi Shelby and more.

- Killer industrial dub reductions, noise & mutant techno recorded to tape and pressed on wax - Edition of 200 copies - Henrik Rylander and iDEAL label boss Joachim Nordwall.

Saturn And The Sun's second album Focus On The Centre Of Your Skull' is a deep thing zooming in to mess with your mind.
Heavy, psychedelic electronic music that draws fuel from 80's industrial as swell as minimal techno and probably some dub too.
Along the same trajectory as last year's Journey To The Centre of Your Mind LP and the Harsh Realities, Broken Bones and Skull Tones tape, this one is a stoically crushing demonstration of noise and techno minimalism at its purest, most affective, rudely intent on massaging or even masticating your grey matter into unstable states.
The four parts of Focus on the Centre of Your Skull draw on a strong heritage of dub, noise, techno and metal yet could never quite be accused of imitating any of them. Rather they cut thru all fields at once to irrigate their own furrow of mutant, roiling drone which exists in a strange paradox of pulsating momentum and aching stasis, eaten away by caustic FX which bluntly work their way in like parasitic organisms.
Great, visceral stuff.

Time to start a new chapter.
DubGestion is ready to plants its roots in the mistycal territory of vinyl.

AFU Limited welcomes ALEX LONG to it's artist catalogue and he starts with two slammin' and cool Technotracks with ultra trippy vocals !
There is not much need to say anything about these tracks, just listen and enjoy the trip through the space age !

Since he was young, he has always been impressed by the sounds of the synths, electro pop and later on acid house. In the beginning of the 90ies, when the Slovenian electronic scene was still in the making, he was a regular guest in the legendary K4 and Palma in Slovenia. He was taken further into the world in 1998 when he took his first steps behind the turntables and he has been producing music since 2004. Since then, he has had quite a few releases and remixes for different record labels.He has dj gigs with huge names of the electronic scene and in large festivals in Slovenia and became the official Slovenian Hero of the future in 2007 at the Disconautica festival.He spends much of his time in his studio, where his thoughts are converted into notes and melodies, and as he often states, he finally found a style that suits him and always finds a challenge in. What is that style He doesn`t like to be defined by a specific music style, as he prefers and is influenced by many different genres of electronic music.
Alex Long is definitely a name we will hear of in the future!

Fabric Safety Apparatus Vol. 1 is the rst in a new series of club-oriented selections presented by Parachute. Featuring exclusive music from the likes of Italian industrialist Ayarcana, label co-founders Avatism and Clockwork, Meze, Metrist, M_REC boss Max_M, South London Ordnance and rong Assessment, it is due to be released this summer. Fabric Safety Apparatus Vol. 1 comes in a 2x12' package designed by Kero.

The Kestrel (Turmfalke) will rise in Spring 2015, starting the new label by Matthias Springer with focus on physical media. The philosophy behind is to invite friends to this special cross-over concept. Every artist presents an original in combination with remixing eachother. In the end 4 tracks on one release, no special genre is preset, everything can happen. Frank Hellmond is the special guest on the first Turmfalke release, bringing in his unique deephouse flavour that features some pretty nice vocals from Snowflake, while Matthias is turning it into a combination of dub and acid ... but just have a listen.

To protect the digital integrity all tracks will be re-released for online-media about 5 - 6 months after the physical release. Beside we decided that there is no need for "cool" looking coloured vinyl, so we will keep it black and heavy weight with 180g of pure electronic music!

Laurent Garnier, Dr. Motte, Slam, Xpansul, Ambivalent, Pan Pot, Marc Houle, Dosem, Someone Else, Franco Bianco, Acid Pauli, Booka Shade, Oliver Schories, Deepchild, Luciano, Magda and many more

After the success of All In, Sven Tasnadi's latest album on Moon Harbour, the label is now
delighted to offer up a selection of remixes from it. Those enlisted to add their take on the fine
originals are the internationally acclaimed talents of Nick Curly, Map.Ache, KaiserDisco, Simon
Baker and Cristian Viviano.

Up first is 8Bit label boss and Trust man Nick Curly. The Mannheim producer has long been a
tastemaker when it comes to tech house and his effort here is a fine one. His take on 'This Girl'
flips the track into a deep and loopy number with sunny pads, cosmic melodies and non stop
beats that will keep people moving for days.

Map.ache (a founder of the KANN label in Leipzig) then goes all dubbed out with his excellently
watery, rolling remix of 'Until The End.' It's a moody, heads down and thoroughly underground
track for intimate backrooms that has airy hi hats and a muffled vocal phrase lulling you into a
trance.

The prolific Hamburg based duo of Kaiserdisco (associates of labels like Drumcode and My
Best Friend) then turn 'No Laws' into a perfectly roughshod house shuffler with undulating
drums that really get under your skin. The percussion is subtle, there are all manner of soft
shakers and distant synths that really add to the overall effect, and the result is truly fist
pumping.

UK star Simon Baker, of labels like Last Night on Earth and 2020 Vision, then goes hard with h
thumping, drum led version of 'Rest.' A robust bassline also adds weight to his groove and
some spangled synth patterns ensure this one will really set the 'floor alight at peak time.

Lastly, Italian Beatport remix competition winner Cristian Viviano comes correct on his full
blooded, barrel chested remix with its physical drums, skipping percussion and cutting hi hats.
This one bobbles along at a fair pace and is sure to sweep up dance floors as it rolls along
unstoppably.

Each one of these remixes breaths fresh new life into the originals and adds a personal spin on
things. They all make for fine listening and are sure to make their way into plenty of top DJ
record bags this summer.

'In the first of a series to showcase forthcoming releases, this Product London vinyl sampler features two techno remixes, one from man of the moment Traumer, along with Catherin and one from techno stalwart G.Pal. The sampler also features two original tech house tracks from label artists, Anatol& Falscher Bart.
