Special Remarks: 12 with inside/out sleeve, Artwork Within the scope of our Hot Five compilation, that is now available on a double CD, we have decided to have a few of our UY-back stock-catalogue numbers remixed and to carve them into vinyl. The first part of remixes that have been released already were delivered by Steve Bug and Sebo K. This time Barem has tuned in Channel X and rides with 'Rodeo' on A1 up and away. Following is Layo & Bushwacka! who convert the groove of Gunnar Stiller's 'Open You' on A2 to a fast lane. The tempo turns to be a bit more temperate on the B-side! Here, Andre Lodemann's version of 'Sense' teaches the original from Douglas Greed feat. Delhia de France a delight that one would more or less localize on the house-parquet. Where B1 stops, B2 to continues. Patrick Chardronnet dubs himself brilliantly through 'Give A Little Slap To Your Soul"- making the dread-locks of author Ruede Hagelstein sprout in buzz.

Fantastic new release by Rydell, bringing melodic & dreamy but at the same time strong forward techno tracks, accompagnied with some ambient/drone interludes. Tip!

limited 3x12" pack of MTD001 + MTD006 + Dipol001 !!

Many friends of "Echtzeit" appreciated his "cl versions 1 - 4" of the
sixth melted recordings release, so some of them did their own
interpretations of one of the themes. These 10 tracks come on two
releases: this "part 1" and forthcoming a "part 2". On this "part 1" we
have got "meridian six", an unknown project with a light, warm and melodic
but also rhythmic electro sound. "Ka.pe" is into variated resonance drums
in interaction with the dub sound. It's the first time that label owner
and manager "ka.pe" releases on melted recordings. Melted recordings known
artist "kryptic universe" made a crystal/metallic bright dub techno track.
Sector's version is detroidish with a fast percussive rhythmic sound.
Madera's redub II is very soft, deep and dub techno and more slowly than
other versions. And finally "Aerror" performes an experimental staccato
with a broken beat, an interpretation called "real time edit". Watch out
for "part 2"!

Kabanjak is the producer behind many of the versatile outings from Switchstance Recordings â€' the German label on which the American soundsmith Fat Albert Einstein released his album "After The Beep" in 2011. Now both come together for a trans-Atlantic outing which is deeply rooted in the Jamaican dub styles of masters like King Tubby or Augustus Pablo in the 1970s and takes their concepts into the NOW.

Multi-instrumentalists Kabanjak and Fat Albert Einstein once again show the many facets of their trade, both composing using bass, guitars, organ and various keys; most importantly melodica. Add to this Fat Al's tough live drums and Kabanjak's employment of flutes, percussions and general sound wizardry on the boards. "Dub O' Dup" is an instrumental journey, echoing between contemplative chillaxation and more uptempo-oriented tunes, all the while paying homage to the original dub founders â€' and even paving a way into the future of sonic exploration. Six tracks and an Ancient Astronauts remix.

Out of the tenderness of youth, the Kimochi sound has developed underground memories into an amalgam of melody, texture and rhythm. 300 units, handpainted.

With a new alias, TM404, Andreas Tilliander has created enjoyable ambient dub simmering with life and details. The songs have all been recorded live, in real time in the studio. A unique way of operating within today's electronic music. - Everything is recorded in one take. Nothing is post arranged, says Andreas Tilliander, and adds that this might be his most ambitious album ever. The project's name is also a tribute to Roland, although of the more intricate kind. - When they made these machines in the eighties, they avoided the 404, since the sound for four, 'chi', is the same as the sound for death in Japanese. At that time it was therefore taboo and the 404 was never launched. Not until now, due to my album!

"HOME" ist the debut album by The Analog Roland Orchestra.

LAST MAGPIE ARE BACK ON LOSING SUKI ANOTHER KILLER EP BLURING THE BOUNDRIES BETWEEN HOUSE & FUTURE BASS WITH EASE.
- WHITE VINYL

Polar Inertia and Lucy deliver two heavyweight remixes of tracks of the first Dement3d release. It's in a context of deep understanding of each other's music that these two remixes of dscrd's first EP have been made. Least we can say is Lucy and Polar Inertia have been among the very first ones to experience what dscrd is all about. Deep hypnotic basement techno!

The HardWorkSoftDrink guys Cédric Dekowski and Felix Reifenberg got together with their old friend Marius Rademacher, aka Macher and created some serious sounds,
which really speak for themselves.
These young rookies from Mainz offer a peak into their strong three track EP on 87.
The experimental bass bomb "Sessionyo" speaks to all sound-o-files as well as the very different but clubby "Tesai",
which has proven it´s popularity and effectiveness on many a dancefloor.
The b-side is dedicated to the rolling epic that is "Sofaga", with a combination of crisp, crunchy beats with beautiful, psychedelic harmonies.

now back in !!

Kryptic Universe delivered his vinyl debut last year with the diversified
"ha-lo ep" on the successful fourth melted recordings release and the
follow-up "diffusion tracks". His new EP "Sterling Sea" is somewhat
different. From the artwork, the black vinyl through to the sound itself
the seventh release on Melted Recordings is a whole thing with these
obvious topics: sea, blue, deep and diving. The first track on the A-side
starts with sea sounds with the feeling to be on the surface of the water.
The second track is KU's 313 Remix of "citylights" from his "ha-lo ep"
which could be a sound track in the fog on a boat. "Sterling Sun" on the
B-side has got the feeling of the bright sun on the open sea. Listening to
"K-dub" make you thinking of diving in a submarine boat. Kryptic
Universe's friend Anaxy made also a remix of "K-dub" in a smooth IDM
variant.

Bath's resident prodigy Troy Gunner, having previously cut his teeth with a trilogy of EPs charting leftfield UKG, post-dubstep, and funked-out seemingly-Moog-driven bass jams, joins the Infinite Machine fam with a singular take on dub techno.
The "Masks/The Valley" 12" evokes warm currents of hope hovering above desolate, urban sonic scenery. "Masks" unapologetically makes use of the complete definitive dub techno toolset, being driven by a unrelenting yet gentle 4/4 kick, awash with abyssal dub chords. A left turn is taken when it comes to composition, however... the chord progression is in perfect balance between wistful melancholy and untethered euphoria, with Troy cleverly borrowing from trance in his use of filter cutoff to softly lean more toward one or the other. The vocal cuts depart from usual contemporary trappings of either going helium or deepthroat... instead, they are very human, sparse and elegantly understated.
On the flipside, "The Valley" aims to be an outstanding DJ tool, with a consistent percussive workout, drenched in chilling dub pulses every other bar. A profoundly autumnal, goosebumps-inducing number.

great new label DimbiDeep Music with the sound of the time !!!
played by Laurent Garnier, SLAM, Sebbo, Axel Bartsch, Drumcomplex and many more !!!

Damien Schneider is a good friend of Micropunto Schallplatten. After many years of friendship we are proud to finally announce his new EP on the label. 'Archived Memories' blends old school influences with modern day techno techniques to give us a well rounded EP, completed by a remix from Tadeo coming back with us after his success in his last release.

Amor Fati, born in Hamburg is linked to the club life since the beginning of the 90s. No matter if it's in the Tresor, the E-Werk or the Omen, Detroit, Techno Chicago House and the Frankfurt Sound inspired him as well as the freedom linked with it.
Since that time Amor Fati produces under the name 'Buttha' and released several of his songs under a different name at Contentismissing Rec.
In the last years he spent a lot of time on Ibiza and let himself be inspired by the nature and the spirit of the island.
2012 Amor Fati starts the labels BlackisBlack Rec. and Träumer&Tänzer Rec. to be able to release his songs independently and offer a platform to young artists.

Amor Fati geboren in Hamburg ist seit Anfang der 90er Jahre mit dem Clubleben verbunden. Ob im Tresor, E-Werk oder im Omen, Detroit Techno, Chicago House und der Frankfurter Sound inspirirten ihn und die damit verbundene Freiheit.
Seither produziert Amor Fati unter dem Namen "Buttha" und veröffentlichte einige seiner Songs unter anderem auf Contentismissing Rec.
Die letzten Jahre verbrachte er viel Zeit auf Ibiza und ließ sich duch die Natur und den Spirit der insel inspirieren.
2012 startet Amor Fati die Label BlackisBlack Rec. und Träumer&Tänzer Rec. um unabhängig seine Songs zu releasen und jungen Künstlern eine Platform zu bieten.

Take a twilight drive down the A19 with the billowing steam of Redcar steel works in the distance and the exotic promise of the lights of Teeside's chemical industry on the horizon. Wash away that ennui with these three deep and soulful techno & house cuts from UK producer Mark Hand. A wonderfully produced; debut vinyl 12'', direct from the moody streets of Hartlepool, filled with all the analogue warmth and low frequencies required for late night dancefloors and early morning reflections.

A lot of people know Danilo Rispoli story, but now is the moment to know the future of this eclectic producer. Beyond is a long trip projected into the future, through the techno sounds that have strongly influenced Danilo growth style. Beyond has two faces very different in apparence but not in substance, the same substance the same dark matter, disturbing, which conceals moments of breath, aimed only to hit hard, a bit later.Vector: In a visionary ideal, is the most distant and tumble planet of the constellation. Saturated and acid groove as the planet's atmosphere, dark pads, wrap the surface, where darkness, is the only light. Not for everyone! TrsAnport: Anything can happen! Pushed by the chaotic and changeable flow of sound, the unknown, became the first test to tackle. Delayed kiks, resonant and hypnotic hi hat games, leading to a indefinitely techno flow.. let's TrsAnport!

The Hanover/Berlin based independent label "rauh" releases physical records
in genres like Techno and Dub Techno.

First Release comes from Session Restore with two strong remixes by
Markus Suckut !!

A debut of sorts by "Lubin," a new alias for an alum of Jeff Mills' 6277 imprint. The hypnotic rhythm work and textural depth will appeal to fans of Baby Ford, Zip, and Villalobos. Handpainted jackets, limited to 200 copies.

Die Cumbia Cosmonauts beweisen als erstes australisches Cumbia-Soundsystem, dass es in der Musikwelt von Melbourne bis nach Barranquilla nur ein Katzensprung ist. Beeinflusst werden sie dabei von dem mexikanischem Strassensound Cumbia Sonidera, der peruanischen Psychodelic-Variante der Cumbia namens Chicha und der argentinischen elektro Cumbiawelle Cumbia Digital. Dabei haben die beiden Produzenten Moses Iten aka "Saca la mois DJ!!" und Thomas "Soup" Campbell (Miso, Editor) den karibischen Offbeat-Rhythm mit dubbigen Basslines, knarzenden Synthesizer-Sounds und treibenden Beats aufgepumpt - und zum ultimativen "Cosmonauter Sound" generiert. Das Album erscheint als Limited-Special-180g Vinyl!

Developer has gained quite the reputation for delivering great functional raw techno made for the the club and the warehouse and this one is no exception! Easily another huge release on his personal project Developer Archive. Four strong recordings that that cater to those that want that funky dirty element to their sets Developer definitely keeps things moving, this is why Developer's tracks have gained so much acclaim don't sleep on this one TIPPP!!!

Lampuka Recordsis a new underground electronic music label dedicated to releasing quality music on limited vinyl pressings. The ethos for Lampuka according to boss Raimo "Thought provoking and mood evoking. I want people to remember when they first encountered a Lampuka". Lovingly hand stamped and limited to 375 physical copies.

For their latest release, Deadplate invite Bristol's Hodge to craft an EP of analogue soaked Techno.

Throughout this release, Hodge crafts a unique sound that resonates somewhere between the sparse, delay soaked realms of primitive Dubstep, and the driving vigour of modern Techno. Inspired by the use of field recordings and vintage analogue gear, the 'Dusted' EP has a raw and insightful charm that will lure a wide scope of electronica enthusiasts.

Sealed with a characteristically hypnotic remix of 'Turmoil' by close friend Kowton, the 'Dusted' EP marks the full arrival of one of the most forward-thinking young producers, harvesting the rich breeding ground and heritage of Bristol.

Feedback:

2562 - "I'm enjoying Tonda and the Kowton remix."
Alex Coulton - "Four tracks of dusty machine funk. Great stuff!"
Artifact - "Entire EP is dope."
Beneath - "Really looking forward to playing these out!"
HxdB - "A perfect example of genre-bending, percussive, post-whatever. The Kowton remix is a fine display of crunchy, analogue Techno."
Moxie - "Really into Turmoil. Got a real nice groove to it."
Palace - "Big EP!"
Rhythmic Theory - "The tension and the atmosphere sounds great!"
Semtek - "This is hot! Love Tonda and Turmoil plus the Kowton joint of course is sick."

Ziro - "This is really really good! Power moves all round."

Within the first minutes of reverbed vocalsamples appearing out of ambientish soundscapes, the
listener becomes a confederate within Quantec's sound universe. Statements that seem to speak
to oneself from another space and time set the mood for his new Album ‚1000 Vacuum Tubes'. Its
surprisingly melodic an rhythmic opener ‚Ayahuasca' sets the mood for Quantec's versatile voyage
through his own Dub history. Sven Schienhammer, the man behind this moniker, has a broad view
on the sounds an techniques of Dub. Where in other productions coldness and monotony became a
standard sound of Dubtechno, the psychedelic warmth of this longplayer let the listener dive
constantly deeper into Quantec's ‚Vacuum'.

Mathias Bradler's follow up to his highly acclaimed debut. Strong modern techno tracks with an industrial edge

repress!

Vienna based DJ and producer Roman Rauch doesn't like to compromise. He's constantly pushing his musical boundaries: House, Techno, Disco, Funk. RR mixes the shit together like on his full 12 for Quintessentials! Keeping a raw edge on all 4 tracks, Roman still provides club appeal. Yes, we think he's talented, that's why he already released on Philpot, Endless Flight or Tenderpark. May the Haus be hoch!
