Recorded in the immediate aftermath of his last EP "Passed Me By", this new doublepack from Andy Stott features six new productions that are more desolate and exposed than anything on its predecessor.

Clear Vinyl

Andy Stott’s classic bout of screwed, knackered House is a shapeshifting, hardy perennial whose crushing traction and atmospheric grip has only deepened in the decade (+1) since it was first issued, as part of a now notorious one-two in 2011 beside ‘Passed Me By’. Out of print for almost a decade, it’s now finally available again in a new edition that’s still sounding unlike pretty much anything else we’ve heard in the intervening years.

’We Stay Together’ was a proper watershed moment for Andy Stott in the nascent phase of an inspirational stylistic arc. While he’d spent the previous six years constructing everything from warehouse-shuddering deep house and dub techno to bare-boned dubstep, the arrival of a new decade paid witness to Stott turning inward, collapsing what he’d learnt from late night sessions with the Modern Love crew into a radical new sound that was arguably without precedent in its field.

The simple move of screwing the tempo to circa 100BPM would, in turn, open out his sound, prising room between the rhythms which he coloured with a palette of particularly bruised, processed outside-the-box textures gleaned from an array of guitar pedals and endlessly churned samples. There were, of course, parallels in DJ Screw’s codeine-infused treatments of classic rap and soul, and their influence on the contemporaneous “witch house” style, but few, if any, were doing it within a techno and club music context that hewed so close to the darker, gristlier underbelly and animus of Manchester’s warehouse heritage. This style of viscous, cranky chug proved fertile ground that would be explored in-depth over the next decade - you can hear traces of it on everything from Overmono’s sludge to Low’s acclaimed 'Double Negative’ - and trust when we say it’s the source of it all. But, still, nothing twats quite as smart or heavy as ‘We Stay Together’.

From an opening that uncannily echoes the rinsed-out empty warehouse scenes in the closing stages of ‘Fioriucci Made Me Hardcore’, the serotonin-depleted ’Submission’ triggers a side-chained momentum that helplessly drags users thru the gnarly mire of ‘Posers’ to the zombied lurch of ‘Bad Wires’ and its title tune’s ket-legged strut. He pushes the aesthetics to asphyxiating degrees on ‘Cherry Eye’, but not without a glimmer of hope in its underwater choral motifs that always buoys his best bits from utter doom, before ‘Cracked’ stresses the metallic tang of his textures with a bloodlust and vital, systolic throb whose effect has only been galvanised with age.

More killer previously unreleased Barry Brown from Channel 1, from early '80s sessions that at one point were slated to make up his aborted second LP for the label.

After 15 years of full time dedication to the deejing art, Kristina launches out herself with her own label Amsafe Records (12inch + digital).
The idea of The label was born at the beginning of Kristina's career as a mandatory necessity, and her vision to create her own productions.
Amsafe Records will launch, in a 6 month time frame, the 2 first eps. One of them, the 'TRAXX1' will be available to purchase in 30 days. Triple Vision Distribution (NL) will be charge in of its worldwide distribution.
'TRAXX1' will be composed of three cuts that taken as a whole is 12inch, solid and with retro reminiscences.
On the A face we will find 'Dark Sinhoutte'. It is a track materialized with a progressive and incessant acid sound, assemble in a 3X4 chachis that reminds those first Proper NYC discs productions launched by Steve Stoll in the 90'. On face B the cuts are introduced by themselves with some roots and influences of Dub.
On the A1, 'Absolute' keeps in itself such influence, more reinforced with delays and arrangements that sometimes, recalls to Retro-techno sounds to finally give way for an emotional and synthetic line that reveals Kristina's influences from Electro.

On the A2, 'Frictional x/mix version', it shows up as a more lineal track characterized by the subtlety of the changes and the dynamism that converges at the end as a track with minimalistic characteristics. Some Congas and Toms, embellishes this track A2, without hesitation, it is a very useful track designed for more versatile sessions.

Tom returns to Run Out Run after his latest offering on Anthony Parasole's 'The Corner' with four cuts of his distinct take on Techno and House...

Limited release on chocolate brown vinyl

Delsin present a new EP by B12 aka Steve Rutter entitled Orbiting Souls, a name which comes from the fact the veteran artist has recently spent contemplating the loss of a friend and believes we are surrounded by lost souls and spirits. This is B12's second EP this year following on from the Bokide 325 release on Soma Records and comes years after still acclaimed album like Electro-Soma and TimeTourist on Warp Records back in the 90s. Orbiting Souls is a somewhat complex journey, a representation of inner Bi Polar opposites; isolation; sadness, but also acknowledging the great and wonderful things around that swirl and support and energise us. A perfectly formed sound world that is both absorbing and cerebral and comes with a full colour sleeve by Boris Tellegen.

Here comes the third EP by our new artist on Echocord Colour, the super talented Roberto Clementi from Italy.

Roberto is one of the most inventive and creative electronic music artists currently making his name known in the underground scene at the moment.

Roberto is mostly known for his releases on Soma, eps + album. He has also been releasing on Brendon Moeller's label Steadfast Records, and labels like Baum and Kontra- Musik.

Both tracks are super powerfull Techno tracks, full of deepness, heavy staps and dubby elements, perfect for the dancefloor.

PHORMA releases the second element in the REDUCTION series by Manchester based dub wizard JS with a loop-driven remix by the mysterious REMINISCENT MOOD project. Two deep dubby tools to work your mind!

Altren For SA017 Kangding Ray brings an EP defined by dexterity: Tempered Inmid. It is a record which balances the deepest drum with the most celestial synth, weaving a legend of both menace and tenderness. Possessed of an underlying hiss, the title track surges to dampen its muscular beat with a fabric of warm melodies. The discerning 'Dimien Andesso' is the Tempered's partner, shuffling with a considered high-end and off-kilter pads. On the flip KR ramps up the pace in introducing the mendacious thumps of 'Nuis Octury', which he twists into a fever. But emblematically KR once more tempers. Closer 'Ezerb Altren' conjures the image and emotion of an underground lake: depth, resonance, and total, glacial serenity.

Following on from a pair of Extended Players released in 2011 ('Passed Me By' / 'We Stay Together') Andy Stott returns to
Modern Love with 'Luxury Problems', an 8 track album of new material recorded over the last 12 months. Five of the tracks
on the album feature the voice of Alison Skidmore, Andy's onetime Piano teacher whom he hadnt seen since he was a
teenager back in 1996. There was no grand gesture in mind, it just sort of happened - but after almost a year of studio work
the result is really quite unlike anything you'll have heard from him before

Three in a row... Stephen Brown's up for his third Indigo release already. Already in the game for more than 20 years, he always achieves a particular and distinctive sense of grooviness, funk and soul in his music that nobody else ever can. The fact that a lot of DJs still play Stephen's tracks from 20 years ago underline how timeless his music is. Right here Brown delivers an EP that's variously fulsome and funky, skipping yet seriously weighty and tripped out and intergalactic, whilst the Antigone remix is full of nerve jangling texture and drum driven brut force.

Indigo æra presents the first solo release from Takasi Nakajima known from the duo Different World which he formed together with Claude Young.

Takasi Nakajima has been DJing and producing since 1994 and working as Different World since 2005. The duo was responsible for the track "Think Twice" a much talked about inclusion on Marcel Fengler's Berghain 05 Mix­CD. The track with it's unique classic Detroit feel, eventually got a full vinyl release on Indigo Aera. As live­ and DJ duo Different World, Takasi also released on Kirk Degiorgio's ART label in 2011, has remixed Octave One and has released remixes and originals on Kevin Saunderson's KMS Recordings. Now focussing on solo work after Different World have suspended activity, this new EP finds him in fine form.

'Basicmath One' is seven minutes of delicate ambient, suspending in mid air. 'Basicmath Two' is a deep and supple techno groove with starry night skies unfolding over tom­layered kicks and 'Basicmath Three' then gets more propulsive with its soul infused synths, straight hi­hats and classic Detroit vibes. A remix of it from Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff layers in a much heavier and more physical kick drum then 'Basicmath Four' drops into a more house leaning groove, but one that is riddled with lush pads, rainy melodies and futuristic atmospheres. Lastly, 'Solar System' is a perfectly spaced out sound world of intergalactic pads and scurrying melodies that is full of alien life but very human emotions. Blissful stuff from start to finish, it proves Takasi Nakajima is as fascinating when solo as he ever is.

Defeating apathy by creating his own world, Abdulla Rashims music thinks before it speaks. Untangeled energy and drive breathes life into the rigid rhythmic structures, where the wild, almost primal, core illuminates the heartfelt and soulful layers within in his music. This musical contradiction between thought and letting go, acts as the base foundation in Abdulla Rashim's music. As a celebration and as a aural development, Abdulla Rashim releases his 'Unanimity' LP on Northern Electronics in May 2014.

His 1st since relocating to Berlin reflects different modes of the dancefloor as filtered thru his metronome. Driving, atmospheric, & at times euphoric these narratives meld into an EP that carries the emotional colors of an album.

Finally Forthcoming on Hinge Finger (HINF8673) with a Head High (aka Shed) remix

Pitch black party music!

collecting orders for repress!
Debut album from Acronym.

Smoking hot next level cosmic house/techno tracks for the real headz. Kessel Vale's debut release on Tantaafl Planets after the great Joey Anderson release and delivers pure class for the dancefloors that understand! This one is gonna melt minds around the globe. Ltd supplies!

Polytone Recordings is back with a three-track EP featuring two originals from Orion and a raw remix from Johannes Volk. Title-track 'Gravity' simmers effortlessly over rumbling sooty percussion and drawn-out atmospherics to deliver a dynamic techno cut geared to the darkest dance floors while the Beatless version does exactly what it says on the tin - in fine ethereal form. Up for remix duty is Exploration head honcho Johannes Volk, known additionally for his quality output on Axis, Sistrum and more recently London's Tief Music. Johannes certainly delivers for the Frankfurt imprint utilising punchy drums, sharp modulations and oscillating synth lines to dish up a robust and hypnotic re-imaginging.

Acronym once again surfaces for five floating techno excursions on Abdulla Rashim's Northern Electronics.

THE MACHINES ARE ALIVE is an electronic music record label based in Madrid,Spain.Started in 2015 owned by Del Valle. We make music only with 'machines' and only make vinyl. Our 'machines' who will decipher the message we want to send. Only Analog. Only on Vinyl.

With our first release we want to show that machines are alive and return to send a message in the form of Techno. Acid & Dub sounds by the hand of Del Valle & Randoom. We know where we come and they show us the way.

Second album from 1982 that saw African Head Charge working manipulated and vari-speeded 1/4 inch tape loops that were re-recorded back to the multi-track, soaked in reverb and delay, and then applied to the performances of the musicians, not to mention extensive use of found sounds and field recordings, hence the title
Re-cut at dubplates & mastering in Berlin for maximum bass pressure.
Includes printed inner with sleevenotes by Steve Barker (On The Wire), plus download card for full album

Parisian artist Nautil is a music student specialising in acoustics, signal processing, and informatics. His debut single, Canopée, utilises analog synths, sampling and personal recordings to emphasize the geometrics of nature and music.

On the A-side the lead track, Canopée, is a cavernous, pulsing, low-frequency techno colossus destined to hypnotise dark warehouse spaces. On the reverse Galdae is a propulsive tecnoid tweaker while Mue is designed for head rolling after hours with mesmeric synth drones suspended over a brain melting sub-bass pulse.

The anticipated second release from Los Angeles/Seattle imprint Slumdiscs comes in the form of a 12" from two artists who have each had a prolific year, refining their respective takes on dark electronics. Side A features three tracks from Italian producer Morkebla (Where To Now/Reckno). He utilizes ethereal synths to create vast, mind expanding soundscapes just as suited for club use as they are for deep meditation. Side B is provided by Portland artist Best Available Technology (Astro:Dynamics/Working Nights). Contained within is an experiment in variations and reductions that rewards close listeners with a glimpse into the slow decay of self-contained sonic ecosystems. ''Go Slumming'' marks the first full length collaboration between the two artists and showcases the best of their respective styles.

After successfully establishing his own dub techno sound with numerous remixes on
the late, House veteran Alexkid drops the first release on his vinyl imprint. Dry beats
with lush echoes drive this EP, as expected from the Artist.

Early support from Enzo Siragusa, tINI, Martinez, Bella Sarris, Molly...

Trap10 deliver three very convincing tracks for their debut EP showcasing the cornerstones of their sound. From straight peak-time action on the A-Side to head-nodding & feet stomping funk infused Techno with soul on the flip, dress to sweat!

- A new collection of otherworldly transmissions from Deepchord's laboratory. With 'Ultraviolet Music' Deepchord returns to his proprietary formula of atmospheric heroin-house (after 2013's more cinematic '20 Electrostatic Soundfields').
- A hallucinogenic amalgamation of deep emotive textures swimming around 4/4 kicks and sub-bass, middle of the night atmospheres, hypnotic repetitions, shortwave static and slowly evolving textures that envelop the listener in warm blankets of sound. Multi- dimensional sounds that move the mind and the feet.
- Numerous (processed) acoustic and organic sound sources make these tracks seem alive in a way that is uncommon in electronic music today. They are breathing life-forms that reveal their subtle layers with repeated listenings. It's music that's influenced equally by 1980s experimental, 1990s ambient, Detroit techno, deep house and Berlin school, creating something entirely unique in the process.











Disc 2

Andy Stott returns with his first new album since 2012's 'Luxury Problems', no.55 in Pitchfork's 'best albums of the decade so far'

- It also featured high in numerous year-end charts in 2012; including The Wire, Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, The Quietus, Tiny Mixtapes,

PopMatters, XLR8R and more

- Includes vocal contributions from Alison Skidmore on six tracks

- The album straddles analogue club music and vocal pop songs - somewhere between Ron Hardy, Prefab Sprout, Dome, Actress, Cocteau Twins and Arthur Russell

- Mastered and cut by Matt Colton at Alchemy 'Faith In Strangers' was written and produced between January 2013 and June 2014, and was edited and sequenced in late July this year. Making use of on an array of instruments, field recordings, found sounds and vocal treatments, it's a largely analogue variant of hi-tech production styles arcing from the dissonant to the sublime. The first two tracks recorded during these early sessions bookend the release, the opener 'Time Away' featuring Euphonium played by Kim Holly Thorpe and last track 'Missing' a contribution by Stott's occasional vocal collaborator Alison Skidmore who also appeared on 2012's 'Luxury Problems'.. Between these two points 'Faith In Strangers' heads off from the sparse and infected 'Violence' to the broken, downcast pop of 'On Oath' and the motorik, driving melancholy of 'Science & Industry' - three vocal tracks built around that angular production style that imbues proceedings with both a pioneering spirit and a resonating sense of familiarity. Things take a sharp turn with 'No Surrender'- a sparkling analogue jam making way for a tough, smudged rhythmic assault, while 'How It Was' refracts sweaty Warehouse signatures and 'Damage' finds the sweet spot between RZA's classic 'Ghost Dog' and Terror Danjah at his most brutal. 'Faith in Strangers' is next and offers perhaps the most beautiful and open track here, its vocal hook and chiming melody bound to the rest of the album via the almost inaudible hum of Stott's mixing desk. It provides a haze of warmth and nostalgia that ties the nine loose joints that make up the LP into the most memorable and oddly cohesive of Stott's career to date, built and rendered in the spirit of those rare albums that straddle innovation and tradition through darkness and light.

The third release on Tel Aviv duo Deep'a & Biri's Black Crow label comes from Israeli talent Hakimonu. Having first emerged in 2007, Hakimonu has since initiated his own self-titled imprint, with over twenty releases from him and his close circle of like-minded friends since 2010. With a stated intention to 'explore the experience of infinity through sound & music", Hakimonu's debut Black Crow release should bring his intelligent fusion of techno, ambient, dub, jazz and acid to wider attention. Far more than a pair of dub techno excursions, the EP's original tracks Insular Realms and Jiriki retain a tougher, more experimental edge while encouraging listeners to explore the minute details in the spaces between the more prevalent elements of the tracks. The EP enlists Ed Davenport (under his Inland guise) and Black Crow bosses Deep'a & Biri for remix duties, with Davenport's dancefloor-rework of Insular Realms continuing his impressive run of form which has included hugely accomplished releases for Mosaic, his own Counterchange label and, as Inland, his collaboration with Function on their co-run Infrastructure New York. Deep'a & Biri meanwhile maintain their own high standards with their propulsive remix of Insular Realms, offering a less rough-hewn yet no less effective club-ready version.
