Releases

In comparison to its first two years, Numbers has had an uncharacteristically quiet one, having only released three records so far. It’s no secret that the entire Numbers crew are huge proponents of techno; many of their roots and crates are saturated in it, espcially the Detroit variety. If audible proof of how deep their knowledge […]

The immense crop of talent that has reared its head in the neo soul and hip hop community over the past few years is mindboggling. From this new generation of artists, Jesse Boykins III and MeLo-X have emerged. Each comes from distinctly different backgrounds, while Jesse is firmly routed in the ways crooning and MeLo-X is a […]

After two years away from the label, Ron Morelli and Jason Letkiewicz return to L.I.E.S. as Two Dogs In A House bringing with them two strung out live jams, which expand and contract over nearly thirty minutes. Each side is well over ten minutes long with the intention being, as Ron puts it, to create […]

It was in the first quarter of 2011 that Thomas Cox, of Infinite State Machine fame, teamed up with fellow producers Adam Ratana and Preslav Lefterov to release a debut record under their newfound Pittsburgh Track Authority moniker.  With a comprehensive knowledge of house and techno that spans three brains, the trio were able to […]

Antithetical to the concise aesthetic statements found across well-rehearsed 12”s, the full length LP is dangerous territory for most producers. Having to spread the kinesis of a taut club track across 60 minutes without exhausting the listener is difficult. Relying on the usual compositional techniques transforms potent ideas into islands in an uninviting sea of […]

We’ve fawned over Recondite quite a bit around here and with good reason: his minimalistic approach to techno and acid has led to some of our favorite records of the last two years.

It’s been a few months since we last checked in with B.YRSLF division, the ever-evolving French label that’s been pushing an innovative, global-minded agenda since its inception just over two years ago. Even through the typically slow summer release season the B.YRSLF crew managed to roll along at breakneck speed and put out four new […]

Anyone remember that Surgeon ‘Humanity Test’ mix from a couple of months back, that had the internet go into a small frenzy over the amount of exclusives and generally how great it was? If by some small chance you missed out on it the first time, we’d like to kindly direct your ears and eyes […]

Discovering new artists and digging for records is always a joy, yet it’s the young labels breaking new ground which helps the continuity of music become more spellbinding. The Singapore based label Midnight Shift is one of these new imprints that stand out from the many others. They launch their musical venture with a collaboration between […]

Since launching 4lux all the way back in 2003, Dutch producer Gerd has provided a home for a host of talented artists such as Erdbeerschnitzel, Iron Curtis and Nicholas to many more. Remaining a prolific figure under a series of aliases throughout a career that spans 22 years, it’s easy to see how Gerd’s ears […]
