Cardiff’s best kept secret Chesus debuts on 4lux with a release of his own. 4 strong deep house tracks. Cleverly combining the old with the new, Chesus shows his amazing production skills once again. The single features collaborations with fellow Cardiff producers Kofi Tarris and, of course, The Organ Grinder with whom he previously released the club banger Steam Roller. Tip!
Three frisky, disco-infected house heaters from Recloose. On top you’ll find the shuffling, latinate drum programming, warm chords and nagging vocal of It’s Too Late’ and the disco-bassed filter house of ‘You Just Love You’. Downtown it’s a kinkier New Jersey garage flex called ‘Backtrack’ riding with tidy organ licks, shoulder-dipping drums and those signature, uplifting synthline vibes.
First part of the Drexciya re-issue series! Drexciya might need an introduction for some, for others it is the most influential techno project ever. Part of the heritage of Detroit’s Underground Resistance, Drexciya explored techno music like no-one else before. Raw and uncompromising music that reflects the harsh environment of the city where Drexciya was conceived. The aesthetics and the mythical approach combined with the unique music made this one of the biggest cult projects in techno music. Drexciya arguably stands for the darker side of techno and electro, music not only made for the club scene, but a further development of the music as an expression and extension of the mind. 20 years after the release of ”Deep Sea Dweller” (their first release), and 10 years after ”Grava 4” (their last), we present ”Journey Of The Deep Sea Dweller”. This series is an almost complete collection of their early works, and is remastered from the original master tapes. Since the original releases have such a strong character, appeal and stand on their own, this re-issue can never re-create the magic of those originals. So instead we stirred up the catalogue taking the tracks out of their original context, giving the ‘in the know’ listener a fresh experience and the new listener a document that is the best possible introduction to the aquatic world of Drexciya.

Class techno tools from Ben Sims, backed with a smart Marcelus remix. Sims’ originals work a tuffer vein of driving 909s and white noise on ‘Spectrum’ and a drilling alarm coda on ‘Orbit’. B-side Sims goes deeper with the tunnelling modulations of ‘Power Surge’ and Marcelus provides a cool counterpoint with the Parisian techno-house swing of his ‘Spectrum’ remix.
„YOU“ is the debut single from Stanley Schmidt and aims between Chicago-House with lots of sample-work and topical bassline-house, just like Stanley does in his DJ-Sets. The A Side comes with a peaktime track wich sounds like coming back directly from the 90s with a huge bassline, vocal-sample and the sounds of analoge drum-machines. The cooperation with the mysterious Claus Scholze wich can be find on the B-Side is a declera- tion of love to all the tracks only can be played on afterhours. Its about flushing feelings, smoove basslines and a sentimental vocal. The duo Kim Brown who recently released there groundbreaking „Spring Theorie“ on Just Another Beat delivers a very appropriate remix of the A Side by working out the power of the bassline.
After Dorisburg’s hypnotic journey we give you the return of Genius of Time! A-side Gliese 581g is an analogue tribute and journey to the newfound planet in the Gliese star system, far, far away. On the flip, expect a stripped-down conga groove and laser blasts of Science Fiction house music that will rip up the dancefloors! According to some reviewers Aniara03 is ”Idiosyncratic non-conformist house music”… and yes, we do agree with those words!
CASSEGRAIN & TIN MAN are a deadly combination. Old school acid lines programmed by one of the greatest masters in this field meet a super modern techno sound design by Cassegrain, who have made themselves a name in the last years for producing some of the finest in dark and experimental techno. For the follow up to their debut release on KILLEKILL they have put together three tracks that are outstand- ing. HIGH & LOW is a slowly swelling minimalistic acid epos of over 10 minutes length which proves the mas- tership of Tin Man in programming acid loops of eternal quality. 8 beats length only, but constantly evolving. No chance for boredom. The B-side starts with SEX KIT, a dark acid stomper with a chirping percussion which is well suitable for the peaktime dancefloor, followed by SAND MAZE, a sublte minimalistic ambient acid piece, that winds its way into total dissolution. We are quite sure that this is the way acid should sound in 2013.
Post-house-proto-disco-trance rockets fuelled by new wave and sound transmissions from middle-wave Caucasus. 3 tracks, 1 beat mix, 4 hits.
Mr Raoul K kept this track a long time in his drawer. He always felt that something was missing. And he didn’t want to put out a track he wasn’t feeling comfortable with. During a visit of Kuniyuki in Mr Raoul K’s studio, he played the track to him. After Kuniyuki proposed some new ideas, they decided to finish the track and release under their new alias Double K…
They have come up with an atmospheric sixteen minute journey with constantly changing atmosphere. Starting off softly, almost tiptoe-ing ‘Esprit De La Jungle’ begins an expedition into the inner jungle. Accompanied by Kuniyuki’s subtle flute and keyboards and graced with Wiltrud Weber’s awesome vocals, the track provides constantly changes its mood and is full of surpises. Expect the unexpected after every turn. Mr Raoul K’s beats blend in very slowly and do not take over until the very end. Close your eyes on the dancefloor and find yourself exploring the secrets of the unknown, feeling the real Esprit Of The Jungle.

We are so very happy to welcome techno wunderkind Ema to our Arms & Legs roster.The Uraguy-born honorary Berliner has been winning over hearts and ears with her rolling rhythmic sets. Here’s a little taste of her stellar EP coming December 16th.
We were looking forward to this release: Marco Resmann’s new EP on Watergate Records. A 3 track EP with a nice remix of Steve Bug. The EP starts off with “Life About To Change”, a vocal-based track whose dreamy synth-scapes wind around a deeply reduced beat structure.
The second track, whose name is reminiscent of Marco’s summer-Thursday-residency on the Waterfloor, begins playful and timid, but picks up speed gradually after its first break. “Thursdate” comes with a massive remix by the Pokerflat-mastermind Steve Bug.
Marco Resmann – Life About to Change EP is out now, in vinyl and digital format.
“I’ve intended to do an album for a long while. The tracks draw upon ideas going back to various points over the last 12 years or so – some of the hooks I wrote years ago, other bits are brand new. In some ways I wanted it to reflect a personal arc and the way I tend to do things – never rushed” After a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes, ? [Phase] released his debut album ‘Frames Of Reference’ on Token this fall. It earned him outstanding reviews at Resident Advisor (“a display of real power and finesse” 4/5), in DJmag (“a calculated masterpiece” 9,5/10), at XLR8R (“sticks out as an alternate route to the heart of machine music’s appeal” 8/10), Groove Magazine (“pulsating techno in which every sonic details fits”) and more. After the double a-sided first single ‘On The Edge / Perplexed’ in June, we now bring you the 2nd single. ‘Dirtro II’ is definitely one of the standout cuts of the album and shows ? [Phase] in his darkest and deepest mood. On the b-side he is joined by one of his biggest inspirations & one of techno’s most legendary innovators: Robert Hood. The result is a carefully executed yet explosive peak time cut. ? [Phase] x Robert Hood x Token. It had to happen one day.

As the year gets closer to its end, Serenades wraps it up with a smooth VA release called ‘Late Night Serenades Vol.1’ – As the name suggests, the release is a compilation of brand new smooth tunes perfect for late night. (Or early morning. Which ever you prefer). First we have the super talented young producer duo from Holland The Planty Herbs (Wax On) with their timeless Deep House masterpiece ‘Mood’. With the perfect sample layering and the smooth bass lines this one will get your head nodding. Secondly we have a new bouncy tune from the label head Roberto Rodriguez called ‘Pom’ which takes it’s name from the tunes slight reggae vibe. This ones slightly more to the floor. The third one is a lovely chordy tune called ‘Salt’ from a young talented producer from the US called Evan Iff (Dirt Crew, Large and Seven Music). Deep and smooth. The final track of the release comes from the finnish dj/producer Toni Halo from the Kingfishers fame. Raw and funky is the name of the game.
IGHT YEAR continues his evolution following releases on This is Music and Convex Industries with a huge EP for Twin Turbo.
Jordan ‘Lead Foot’ Feller (pronounced Fellah) has clearly learned new tricks since relocating to Europe, getting his head pounded in London’s warehouse parties, mastering the weight and heft of his kick drum, stripping things down to the tough essentials.
The title track does exactly what the name promises. It’s a big-room UK club pumper. If ‘Pumpt’ is the peak time party bomb, ‘Push On’ is what leads you through the after-hours, while ‘What to Do’ goes even deeper, begging the question, is there anything more to wring out of this night? YES.
All three tracks have a distinct sound, with punchy grooves built around short, soulful vocal samples. The festival-tested Aussie has successfully honed in on a new direction here without betraying his other nickname: ‘floor-filler-Feller.’
