A1 - Control Freak
B1 - Event Horizon
This is the virgin record on Downfall Theory, a new St Petersburg imprint serving as the creative outlet for the persuasions and productions of discerning dance music Sanys Etiku. Side A is a full-on entanglement of sandy synths, cell-block stabs, a murderous midpoint bassline and hats slammed through a sieve. This track will twist your face played on a real system, even if you don’t realize it happened until you see the party pics posted online. B is a solid brick of overpowering percussion pressed into an intoxicating terrine of implied melody so irresistible you will eat it raw. No mistake here.

Appointment - Reconstruction (Appointment) 11.99
Listen
Hard-edged, hefty, raw: “Reconstruction” was produced in London on a swift intense single day of recordings and mastered at The Carvery in the same week directly from a saturated tape without any compression or limiting, pushing the vinyl properties to their thermodynamical limits. The 4 advanced tracks walk through techno and house territories, merging U.K. and German tradition with an american approach to the analogue mixing desk. The point of impact of these compositions goes beyond minimalism and hits straight on the dancefloor.
Arthur Oskan - Wants & Needs EP (Beretta Grey) 10.99
A1 - Arthur Oskan - Wants & Needs
B1- Arthur Oskan - Wants & Needs (Luke Hess Remix)
Beretta Grey is proud to present the newest EP from Toronto native Arthur Oskan. Keeping with the same quality music crowds and DJs have come to expect from Beretta Grey, Arthur presents a strong and hypnotic release in which the true essence of his home town and love for Detroit can be heard and felt in his music. Arthur takes us on a dark and mysterious journey, channeling the emotions of deep dance floors across the globe and back. Appropriately titled: 'Wants & Needs", this EP is a slice of classic techno constructed with a modern touch. Rounding out this marvelous package on remix duty is the Beretta Fox himself, Luke Hess (Deeplabs/FXHE/Beretta). Bringing that old school Detroit warehouse vibe, Luke Hess serves up a deeper shade of Arthur's original. Perfect for a gig a in a dingy warehouse basement or your headphones, these sublime melodies are crying out for only the darkest dancefloors.

Orange vinyl and limited to 200 copies.
Stingray Enters The Unknown The Sadist - Heinrich Mueller & Cestrian Remixes (Unknown To The Unknown) 8.99
Listen
Unknown To The Unknown have put together their 5th release Stingray Enters The Unknown a collaboration between Detroits DJ Stingray & London's DJ Haus. Entitled The Sadist Pts 1 & 2 the release is backed with remixes from the legendary Heinrich Muller (Drexciya, Dopplereffekt) & Cestrian (Ali Renault, Heartbreak).
Cottam - Deep Deep Down - Vakula Remix (Aus Music) 9.99
Listen
Breaking onto the scene via a series of anonymous 12” ‘s — three of which were named in Phonica’s top 50 singles of 2009 — it was after garnering reverence as a big name producer in disguise that Cottam was unveiled to be the humble newcomer Paul Cottam. Rising through the early rave scene in his hometown of Preston, he first cut his teeth as a DJ warming up for the likes of Surgeon, Dave Clarke and Regis. Despite his Techno upbringing, it was the slo-mo tempos of Mark E and The Revenge that inspired Cottam to produce his own brand of dusty soul and hip hop-grounded house. However, in April Cottam returned to his roots with “Sunrise Sunset” on Use Of Weapons, sinking a rave core down to his signature slung bpm. It is a journey into sub-aquatic acid house that began with a series of remixes for Luv Jam, Pattern Select and Morning Factory, and one that he continues to explore on his Aus Music debut. Aptly titled “Deep Deep Down” sculpts the feeling of acid techno into warm slo-mo house. Ukrainian producer Vakula takes the track off on another tangent entirely; stripping away its propulsive chugging heartbeat and replacing it with an off-kilter, spaced-out pulse reminiscent of Theo Parrish when he’s in that kind groove. On the flip, “Twang” is a return to Cottam’s brand of languid, soulful house, steeped with groove destined to incite the dancefloor shuffle.
Juanpablo - Mother Mountain (Frigio) 9.99
A1. Mother Mountain (Featuring vocals by Josh Werner)
A2. Sea People (with Vinz Vincenzo)
B. Mother Mountain (Arcanoid remix)
Following his “Dream EP” release last year that featured an amazing J.T.C. remix, Juanpablo drops us this time another especial production called “Mother Mountain EP” that shows clearly how hard he is pushing to create his own beat. Last year his song Dream was reviewed by some specialized media as hard to describe but easy to love and we think that the Mother Mountain track on this record will get a similar description. Sea People is the second track and for this song Juanpablo has invited Spanish producer Vinz Vincenzo to collaborate with him in the production. This artist has been around for a long time and has made a lot of music in many different types that are far away from electronic genres which gives a plus to the end result of this production. And lastly, we have a remix of Mother Mountain by the mythic Spanish producer Arcanoid who has released on labels such as Tesla, Semantica, etc. His remix is pure techno, very hypnotic, dark and mental but always with his personal touch. Probably the most club oriented tune on this record.
Pelacha - Funny Friends, Pablo Bolivar Remake (Red Sonja) 9.99
A1. Pelacha Funny Friends (Pablo Bolivar Remake)
B1. Pelacha Funny Friends Original
Pelacha presents the third release on her young label 'Redsonja Records', named 'Funny Friends.' 'Funny Friends' is inspired by the intense nightlife with her friends . The o riginal track focuses on the dancefloor with Detroitish flavours and a mix of the old school and new school. Tasteful. Pablo Bolivar, part of Pulshar (Desolat) makes a remake of the original track with a unique Dub Techno touch, resulting in a truly inspired, excellent track.
Claude Young & Takasi Nakajima - Rapture (ART) 8.99
Listen
Fresh from his triumphant return to Detroit's Movement Festival, where by all accounts he delivered the set of the weekend, Claude Young teams up with his Different World co-hort Takasi Nakajima for their debut release on ART. The original is no-nonsense but thoughtful future-tech, with plenty of analog modulations for the heads - and dance-floor thump for the party people. On the flip, the legendary Ian O'Brien delivers a typically deep, Detroit tinged remix with trademark warm bass and glistening top lines. Ian planned to do one more mix-down of his remix when the huge earthquake earlier this year pretty much demolished his Tokyo-based studio.
Vakula - Saturday Remixes (Strike) 9.99
A1. Deetron Remix
A2. Jeff Sharel Remix
B1. Legowelt Remix
B2. Fudge Fingas Remix
B3. Sad Remix
Deetron, Jeff Samuel, Legowelt and Fudge Fingas remixes of Vakula - an all star cast! Only 300 copies on the first press so you best move fast.
Basic Soul Unit - Deep Diving (New Kanada) 10.99
NK29A1_DEEP_DIVING.mp3
NK29A2_HERSTORY.mp3
NK29B1_FOR_SOME.mp3
NK29B2_GROUNDSWELL.mp3
Stuart Li aka Basic Soul Unit (Versatile, Mathematics, Ostgut Ton) has delivered 4 new cuts of submerged bass excursions for Nouveau Kanada.
All tracks sound distinctly raw and heavy, but with modern nods to UK bass and spatial elektro. Stuart's deep appreciation of dusty house grooves shines through on all tracks - but his treatment of the lead cut "Deep Diving" pays homage to those dope Dance Mania B-sides of yore. For fans of Kassem Mosse. Move D, Adonis, Larry Heard, early UR, STL, edgy Pearson Sound or good Brazilian jams from the '60s.
Truncate - 21 [w. DJ Hyperactive remix] (Truncate) 10.99
A1. 21
A2. 21 (mix)
B1. 21 - Hyperactive remix
Third release on Truncate with a remix from Chicago legend DJ Hyperactive and a stripped dub mix of the original. Expect some serious heavy warehouse beats.
Various - Vanguard Sound Volume 1 (MDreams) 10.99
A1 - Hakim Murphy - Pulsate Phosphorus
A2 - G. Marcell - Excites Me
B1 - DJ Spider - Dystopia
B2 - Amir Alexander & Dakini 9 - Black Ops!
Poetry in motion, Machining Dreams presents a new collective that specializes in seeing with the third eye! Vanguard Sound is on the advance with the first volume from a collection of music architects. In this edition, Chicago and New York decide to form like Voltron with this sonic commentary on reality. Equipped for all occasions, the flexible Vanguard Sound brings you Acid, Deep, Beatdown, and Techno all on one 12"! Human senses will be on alert as one's brain articulates the waveforms at the speed of sound.
pulsate phosphorus - first up, Hakim Murphy comes through with a flowing acid tune that defies gravity. Soon after the acid line hits, beautiful chords intoxicate one's inner ear, causing individuals to ponder about the universe. Several acid lines slither through this journey; through the mind of Murphy's murky psyche.
excites me - secondly, G. Marcell bangs out a serious deep house groover. G. begins his story with a syncopated melody line that later turns into a sweet sounding siren. When this happens, one can only bounce their head to the rhythm. Meanwhile, augmenting chords develop and begin to speak while the undertone pads hold down the rhythm, and finally toms appear to complete the ride.
dystopia - side B, DJ Spider brings the grime to the forefront, blowing up the spot with a beatdown track perfect for fighting the propaganda of commercialism. The dissonant chords strike first as the beat travels along through a journey of real talk. Bounce, bounce, percussion, synth; all up in your face, basically going hard core: Adjective for dystopia = nasty!
black ops - lastly but not least, Amir Alexander & Dakini9 groove and expose covert minds through smashing waveforms and vocal samples. The bassline keeps moving as you are taken on a trip through recent American history; a melody line drops, emotions flare, but your head continues to move. Mad props, yall took it underground, I mean to the abyss
Selway + Turov - Choo Got It ep (Interpull) 10.99
A1. Choo Got It
B1. Way To My Heart
The partnership between artists John Selway and Dave Turov spans not only across the Atlantic, but it has also resulted in a series of successful collaborations on their label CSM. The debut release on the Interpull imprint showcases their signature no-nonsense, dancefl oriented techno. Expanding on their previous work, “Choo Got It EP” carries with it a modern take of classic infl uences from Chicago, Detroit, and Berlin. This release is marked by just as much stylistic skill as it is by their technical skill: both Selway and Turov put the highest production values possible into their releases. The A-side of the EP, “Choo Got It”, grooves hard with an upbeat rhythm and a bouncing bass line that refuses to let up. Combining funky house elements and a raw driving techno pace, this is the kind of track that either gets you on the dancefloor doesn’t let you off once you hear it go on. The B-side, “Way to my Heart”, presents a darker take on the EP with plentiful bass and restless energy. It provides a cavernous sound that‘s happy to shake your techno cathedral of choice.
Jeff Piero - Still (Borrowed Language) 10.99
A1
B1
Borrowed Language returns with their third installment of genre agnostic electronics. Following the explosive release of UNLTD & Israel Vines’ "Distance No Object" EP (featured in Millie & Andrea's superb LWE podcast, and charted by the likes of DJ Pete & Grovskopa) was no easy feat, but Jeff Pietro proves to be more than up to the task with this brilliant 2-track 10''.
As with earlier releases on Borrowed Language, this effort exemplifies the continuing refinement of the label’s aesthetic. While some influences are clearly detectable, this is not just cannon fodder; there's enough attention to detail and panache on display here to distinguish Pietro’s take on Techno/Bass music from his peers. The results are polished, but not without sharp edges; brutal, but elegant, functional, but not faceless.
"Still 1" graces the A-side with a hypnotic and utterly mesmerizing piece of deep, linear dance floor techno that has texture and atmosphere to spare; its cold, martial rhythms and buzzing, almost sitar-like drones provide the perfect soundtrack for a dystopian sci-fi film yet to be made. "Still 2" on the flip is another example of Pietro's predilection for genre hybrids that are neither fish nor fowl; the visceral, industrial feel is still prevalent, but a broken beat structure is introduced along with some grimy, rumbling bass - but this isn't quite dubstep...at least, not as we know it..
