Maeve 09 is a special record. It welcomes the return of one of the founding members of the label, Baikal. Although the Dutchman has had somewhat of a hiatus from releasing music, his hard work and struggle with the process of creating forward thinking electronic music has always continued. Pelican's Flight' reaps the rewards of this carefully nurtured process and proves most definitely it was worth the wait.

The title track Pelican's Flight' is a mesmerizing ten-minute techno trip. A throbbing kick drum is decorated with sparkling synth lines all moving on their own orbit creating a trance like effect on the dance floor. The pinnacle of the trip hears rasping chords blast through the swell in a glorious moment of elation, in short this is a bomb.

The B-side All Forces Occur In Pairs' goes deeper again, drawing the listener into a similar hypnotic state. Various sonic ideas breathe in and out of the foreground creating a swirl of expectancy and excitement. This track will cause you to close your eyes and be carried away to another dimension...

Maeve are honored to add this record to their repertoire.

Pariah returns to R&S for his third single.His debut 'Detroit Falls/Orpheus' marked a turning point for the label, as it turned its attention to a young, new breed of producers on its doorstep in London. The follow up 'Safehouses' doublepack found him mining his influences further and developing his sound over six tracks and became one of the labels most celebrated and best selling recent releases.
Since then he has collaborated with Blawan on the Karenn project which has spawned DJ appearances at the best clubs in Europe, vinyl only releases, remixes and a forthcoming live show, and also delivered one of the stand out tracks to the IOTDXI compilation with 'Left Unsaid'.
The initial blueprints for the three tracks on this new release were created from sampling short wave radio recordings, not the most obvious starting point for making tracks, but Pariah isn't your average or obvious producer. He's gradually building a canon of evocative, beautiful and honest music that is quite rightly receiving both critical and commercial acclaim.

Budapest scene lynchpin, S. Olbricht debuts on Lee Gamble's UIQ label with a sweetly compatible quartet of chiming ambient techno and woozy house trax in the wake of his latest Lobster Theremin LP, For Perfect Beings.
As the label's 4th release after 12's by N1L, Zuli, Lanark Artefax - also counting the recent launch of Lee G's UIQ Inversions series, the ZZM EP rolls deeper into those lip-smacking,
thizzing ends of the night with a key subtlety and firm-but-light touch that works so well on tenderised minds and bodies.
These tracks rank among S Olbricht's most seductive and hypnagogic. From the Terence Dixon-like harmonic suspension systems of 137x3brk and the ruddier, out-of-reach rumble and flickering rim shots embedded in the chasmic headspace of Ktyring on the A-side, thru to wire-woolly texture and glowing chord filaments laced into the 110bpm slug, J_UC.
Finally, the gracefully tilted techno elevation Floa1 which could easily be mistaken as the work of label boss Lee Gamble closes the rotations of side B.

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.

Originally Released on Echocord on 27 August 2012. Transcendent Records finally releases this much wanted ambient techno album by Conforce aka Silent Harbour, completely remastered for vinyl. Boris Bunnik expresses "music for an imaginary deep mental abstract excursion" under the Silent Harbour moniker for Transcendent/Echocord. As his multifarious operations have shown, Boris is a dab hand in the studio, and Silent Harbour is the place to find those machine emissions which would never quite reach the 'floor. Operating on the cusp of ambient Techno and electro-acoustic music, he shapes sheer scapes from elemental source material, rendering his sounds diffuse until we glimpse hallucinatory tones in the gloaming dissonance. 4/4 anchored rhythms are fractured, percussions sent to scout the perimeters while the vast space between becomes playground to radiant metallic timbres and strafing electronic apparitions. Music for Techno heads to fall into when the kicks are too much. White vinyl 2x12", limited to 300 copies!

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.

* Little Hill Records, based in Rome, presents his first very limited Various Artists; composed by a double LP released on 100 signed copies; a mixture of club tracks with experimental stuff: from Ambient to Dub passing through Acid, Hypnotic Techno and hard groove.
Featured: Lorentz, Vincenzo Pizzi, Luciano Lamanna, Beat Movement, Mutecell, T-Kode, Manuel Di Martino, David Meiser, Nemrac, Code 701.

* Litte Hill is a Rome-based music label with it's sound rooted in electronic music with techno and dub influences.

- 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.

After a debut ep and a deep second one this time Carlo Zanelli has released a six tracks ep based upon a recording session done a couple of years before.
Every track have his unique character and the entire ep is intended more as a journey rather than a collection of different tracks making this a complete work ranging from ambient tracks to more danceable ones.

---
Fourth chapter of the label, signed by Carlo Zanelli.
EP run six tracks , three for each side , ranging from deep house to electro and back.
Childhood , a warm house piece opens A side , whereas an eletroish track called Patient X will follow.
On the flip side, Space 2000, an hypnotic dance floor oriented tune, opens the triptych and the EP is closed by Sunrise,
a melodic 90ish IDM track.

After his successful first vinyl release as "Echtzeit" on melted
recordings (mtd.001), with very positive feedback by many dj's, the
producer Frank Rumpelt tried a different view on the theme ("Echtzeit" now
as title) in various styles of techno. 3 tracks - a bit more electro with
harmonics - are listening music and dance floor compatible, too. Plus 3
"locked grooves" we have 6 tracks on this vinyl. This record comes in a
premium outer and inner sleeve cover.

Weitergang durch Stillstand Von Alexander Lass Simpel, aber kraftvoll, kurz stürzt sich der schwer zu definierende Musiker und Performer Tobi Binär aka binär in kosmische Soundgebilde. Seine erste Vinyl - LP Stern verkörpert den langen und breiten musikalischen Spektrumsweg. Die Person Binär ist eng mit den Schlag- und nicht Schlafwörtern: absoluter Schwung statt halben Sachen verbunden. Der gebürtige Weltenbürger hat in den vergangenen Jahren seinen Lebensmittelpunkt in Wien gefunden und zeigt mit dieser gefundenen Ruhe in der Mixtur auf. Die früheren Vorgänger trotzen und überzeugten, aber gleichwohl durch den fast stetig gut gefassten Klang. Der neue Träger birgt eine alleine mit den gut assoziierenden Titeln first party und the last party, dass dazwischen ein neuer Schwung durch Stern zu erwarten ist. Vielleicht am Beginn ein wenig überraschend für eingefleischte Binär Fans, aber sicher ein Grund Stern zu erwerben.

Human Rays - Stockholm, Sweden producer Robin Smeds Mattila—says that the music on A Tension was made during nocturnal sessions in a studio full of mostly cheap analog and digital gear, all in one take. "I kind of let the mood guide me and just go with it," he says. The result is a gripping fourtrack´suite of emotionally charged minimal ambient that was created quickly but sounds like it was rigorously sweated over for many weeks. After a handful of releases that explored noisy, quasiindustrial techno, Mattila here deviates into a more abstract, melancholy mode with A Tension. His creative process involves experimenting "to see how far I can push a sound with a pretty lofi setup. Improvisation and limitations are part of the thing that makes it interesting." This approach yields riveting dividends right from the start on A Tension. On "Condensity," the sparse pinging and distant, muted beats commingle with what sounds like rough wind or waves, hinting at the Arctic vibes that Biosphere conjured on Substrata. It's at once chill and chilling, tranquil and unsettling. "Between The Hours" places spindly, woody beats beneath a dramatic sweep of synthetic strings, ebbing and flowing like Fripp & Eno's monumental "An Index Of Metals." "Neverendless" might be even more redolent of the North Pole than "Condensity," its severely minimal isolationist ambience suggesting Mick Harris' nonemorecold Lull or Thomas Köner's Permafrost. On "Manual Litany I," Mattila takes what sounds like a sentimental synth melody and smears it into a mantra of compelling drudgery. He notes that the track draws inspiration from William Basinski, who's famous for his series of profoundly poignant Disintegration Loops albums.

Iconic label and global club brand Renaissance returns with the continuation of the revered 'Mix Collection' compilation series. Art Department has delivered a timeless mix of underground House and Techno, past and present. Art Department will be touring worldwide to support the release and, with over 400k Facebook fans, has a strong platform to reach directly to his global fanbase. As the first release of a new era for Renaissance, this eagerly anticipated album illustrates the label's remit to present the very best of current underground artists and music.

Renaissance has a history of more than 80 compilation releases in the past 2 decades, since releasing the UK's 1st ever gold-selling compilation 'Renaissance The Mix Collection:Sasha& John Digweed' in 1994

Listed as one of the best clubs worldwide, not to mention best club in Romania, Midi started their own label with a bang early last year. This time it's g76's turn to make you dance with his two tracker.

Timber so is definitely the melodic one with subtle sweeps and resonated percs running smoothly along a trippy voice. The warm bass will keep your feet warm.

A fractured neck nock is the dark one. Synths are lurking behind the sick percussion. The guitar riff and a kids voice increase the mystery as the track progresses. This might seem dark and deep but it's pumping as well.

An original electronic disciple hailing from New York, Sandwell District's David Sumner a.k.a Function presents his debut album 'Incubation' on Ostgut Ton. Like the soundtrack to a suspenseful Techno-thriller, or retro-futurist Sci-Fi tale, it's a modern sound journey heavy on imagery. Over nine tracks we are guided through the varying moods and scenes of Function's musical temperament. Be it through writhing layered club tracks, soaring string-led atmospheres, or melodic pieces founded on classic electronic traditions, 'Incubation' marks a new level of maturity for the Berlin-based producer. What begins as a lush and blossoming lesson in ambient synth arrangements, with the beautiful arpeggios and waveforms of 'Voiceprint', quickly drops off the apex and into the depths of Function's filtering acid world as 'Against The Wall' unfolds. This metallic, acidic concept is explored further too, in the final moments of the album with the chilling 'Psychic Warfare'. A spiraling, organic surge of warm synth tones and other-worldly arpeggios unravels itself in 'Counterpoint', acting as an early bridge between some of the drum-led studies that follow. And thus, the pressure increases. 'Modifier' presents itself with tight, snaking drum patterns and tense, late 90s kinetic warehouse energy. Opening a path into an alternate, yet not too distant dimension then, 'Incubation (Ritual)' takes form; it's haunting and graceful waves of synths continue the Sci-Fi theme, while the tough modulating bass undercurrent reminds us of Function's big-room Techno appeal. The final moments of 'Incubation (Ritual)' glide effortlessly into the album version of 'Inter', where ethereal melodies and snippets of spoken word surround a classic IDM-Deep-House core. 'Voiceprint' returns as a (Reprise) version, in what could become the crossover club track of the year. Coming on like a classic R&S or Soma release circa '95, the undulating synths are now caught in a rapturous groove, urged on by a perfect 909 drum pattern and forward pushing, precise arrangement. Taking the minimalistic, hypnotising mantra of previous Function 12''s like 'Isolation' or 'Burn' to another level, 'Psychic Warfare' brings the voyage to a a close, it's overlapping, ebbing metallic acid tones inducing equal measures of tension and elation. In the CD version of the album, 'Gradient I' concludes the voyage. Earthy, modulating bass and 808 patterns merge as a cyclic, audio resolution occurs. With a final, intense atmospheric wash we find ourselves re-born, out in the ether, having witnessed an event of great weight and substance. In the final mixing stages of the album Function brought the material to cult engineer and producer Tobias Freund (NSI). Since 1980, working with the legendary Frank Farian, Freund's skills helped bring acts like the controversial Grammy award-winning Milli Vanilli to fame, and he would pioneer early European Techno and Electronica through his Sieg Über Die Sonne project (with Dandy Jack). Function chose Tobias to do his work justice, and add his years of mix experience to this ambitious, succinct and artistic album. Bound in mysticism, forged through experience, 'Incubation' is a bold and powerful album from one of modern Techno's key players. Inclined to hold back, rather than release too much, Function has let his sound develop and mature, fusing analog synths and drums with modern production techniques to create something unique and timeless.

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

Slovenia's prime annual selection of dubbed out electronica gets an extra boost with 4 new artists. The compilation effortlesly swivels between electronic soundscapes and organic dub. Equally enjoyable in a cozy home enviroment and in darker club atmosphere.

Originally from Ireland, now living in Toronto, producer and DJ, Neil Mooney, aka Throwin Shapes, developed his wide-ranging sound by immersing himself in Toronto's diverse underground music scene for the last 10 years. Having deejayed at some of the city's most forward-thinking music events, Mooney has now focused his attention on production. Over the eight songs on his debut album, with newly-started, vinyl-only label Religio, Throwin Shapes shows the full and eclectic range of his musical influences, from dub to deep house and acid to techno. Expansive yet intimate, banging while still soulful, percussive and melodic, Pembroke Session LP is music for the late night.

All night long: With its stripped-down kicks, crisp hi-hats, warm keys and plump bassline, this is classic deep house. You'll be mesmerized by the sultry voice intoning you to stay 'all night long.'

Diving Bell: True to its name, this tune is like a transmission from the depths. The chunky bassline, staccato hi-hats and ethereal pads mix to create an atmospheric and abstract late-night vibe. Don't sleep on this one if you're a fan of Keith Worthy, Patrice Scott or quality Detroit house.

Dub flight: Get on board for a slow and absorbing trip to echolandia. This is dreamy dub techno. Generous use of heavy delay on the timbale gives the track a post-carnival after-party feel.

Exercises in Alchemy: Building steadily from a minimal 4/4 beat to a mass of swirling pads and swishy chords, guaranteed to keep any 5 am dancefloor busy. We're talking a good kind of black magic here.

Give it socks: With a future-retro vibe, Give it Socks features a rolling 303 bassline, sharp percussion and a spacey overall texture that will indubitably inspire creative body movement.

Jigtime: This track combines a driving infectious bassline, offbeat percussion, woozy pads and a high-pitched layer of strings to create a sure-fire dancefloor killer!

Morning Comes: A rhythmic and hypnotic take on dub techno, this is the song that you want emanating from the speakers as the sun rises.

Rag order: Starting with a banging drumline and acid-tinged percussion, Rag order evolves to a place of warm atmospheric pads and pristine key stabs.

The two new additions on Baum brings a fresh twist two the EP, Stefan Gubatz of Telrae fame comes with a really beautiful track with a laidback groove. Ryo Murakami the owner of Pan records is a diverse producer, and this time his track is Experimental Dub.
All together this is a fantastic EP from the four producers.
Limited to 300 copies.

Moudaber goes deep.... Yes, our beloved MOOD leader returns home with her latest single and a track that may surprise some, as Nicole gets her Dub on.

Known for her fierce and electrifying prime time sets and powerful personal productions, Nicole is equally adept and at home building the floor and atmosphere from the very first beat. New single, Her Dub Material, is the perfect soundtrack for those early hours and takes influence from Nicole's love for deep, warm, fathomless bass. Mysterious and yet inviting, Her Dub Material is built upon an unswerving groove. Strong, elegant and hypnotic.

Staying true to the original whilst enticing with his own percussive flair is Argentinian producer Guti. Spanish sensation Marino Canal, fresh from his own full release on MOOD, mesmerises with his own steady tempo and synth laden breaks, before Alex Tepper closes the mix package by upping the ante further, whilst never losing the original's groove.

MR Is Happy To Present First Release With Ukrainian Guys KiRiK and groovy remix from Silat Beksi . Save memory at the vinyl .

Maar, the duo of Michael Vallera (Immune's Cleared and solo works in Opal Tapes) and Joseph Clayton Mills (Haptic), returns with Absolute Delay. The title, defined as the interval between transmission and reception of a signal, encapsulates their aesthetic of fissures, broken patterns, and spatial dislocation. Expanding on the palette that characterized their debut Ceto (Umor Rex 2014), Maar draws even more deeply on their influences—in particular, the warped atmospherics of dub and the severity of minimalist composition—to create something that defies easy classification. Translucent drones and traces of field recordings are deployed to create shifting degrees of focus, while flickering electronics are pieced together in a disorienting mosaic

The Analog Roland Orchestra will start a new series with PATTERNS 1 - 2. He is using only CV Gate, Trigger Signals, intern sequencers and arpeggiators, chord memory and transpose buttons. You will find each pattern on the label of the vinyl.

"City Stellar" by Yan Kaylen is our first artist EP release following up to our debut VA album "Setting Forth" released in the fall 2015. Yan Kaylen is an electronic music artist from Paris, inspired by the Berlin techno and London bass-music scenes. His musical universe focuses on a tribal and minimalistic approach for rhythms as well as ambient, atmospheric, industrial and evolving textures. As a member and resident of the Exploration Music crew in Paris he started playing his own productions live in the summer 2013. He has since played in clubs such as Tresor, Concrete, La Machine du Moulin Rouge or Le Batofar, and has shared the stage with established artists such as Sigha, Skudge, Shifted, Clouds, Paula Temple, Objekt, Truncate, Goldie or Positive Centre. He is also part of the cinematic audiovisual project trio Dasein."City Stellar" is a six track, forty minute, journey through an ominous imaginary city. It starts off with the beatless ambient title track "City Stellar" setting the tone for the entire EP. It is followed by the 125 BPM dub techno-meets-dubstep sub heavy "Suspension Of Disbelief", while "Ancients Colony" concludes side A with an introspective tribal beat. "_Field" offers a moment of cautious rest in an imaginary playground with the sound of children playing in the distance. The pace picks up again with the epic "Mirage X84", a broken beat and lush pads filled techno number which then leaves us in the gloomy "Last Quadrant" not far from where we'd arrived in the Stellar City on the intro track.

Roberto finally debuts on Be As One after having recently joined the label booking agency and main core, and he does it with style. For those that have been keeping an ear on the UK techno sound Roberto should not be a new name by now, having released a series of well received EPs on Artform and Affin, and being a resident at London's legendary Fabric club. 'Hi Tek", a collaborative effort with his pal Chris Page, opens the EP and subtly warms things up for the energy delivered on the B Side. 'Spring Times' is that kind of tune that dropped at the right moment create mayhem on the dark, sweaty floors. Calling Card closes bringing things down into deep territories. Techno is back on Be As

Cristi Cons and Vlad Caia are household names that really need no further introduction. Their dj sets are techno stories well told and their live act is already making waves worldwide. Amphia is first and foremost the platform they use to broadcast their finest works. Such is the case of Sideways, their latest LP, containing more than a dozen tracks coming your way trilogy style.
The first part reveals six tracks on two heavyweight discs. Although most of the tracks fit the usual SIT musical approach, the listener is greeted with a wide pallete of rhythms. Assemble is an atmospheric dub infused with violins and orchestral echoes. Permissive starts things up with a playful bass progression and continues with lush pads and cryptic voices. Brooklyn's deep moody synths and monster groove render it broken poetry at it's best. For sure it will resemble those early danceable mornings. On a more joyful manner we are presented next with Bootcamp's sturdy baseline and playful modulated vocals.
Mandatory claims a whole side of the second disc and so does Come Around. While the first is almost experimental but danceable and warm due to the occasional driving percussions and 303 sounds the latter is the star of the show. Come Around is 15 minutes long and comes with a story too. A great collection of tracks, a great story that backs each one of them makes the first part of the Sideways LP trilogy a treat to listen and dance to.

- Follow-up to the much-loved first volume that compiled 79 - 84 productions and remixes by the legendary Adrian Sherwood, this second instalment charts a path through electro, industrial, noise, hip-hop, afrobeat and dub.
- Includes 5 completely unreleased tracks, and 4 that have never been heard since their original vinyl release.
- Features Lee Perry, Ministry, Tackhead, and KMFDM
- Extensive sleevenotes that tell the story of each track alongside archival photos, label scans and more.
