Tracklist:
A1. Nordic Rave 4 – A2. Utopia, Ohio – B1. Tooth – B2. So So Solid
Info:
Nincs, a Hungarian word roughly translating to "there is no", is the debut EP of Kornél Kovács, one third of influential Stockholm label Studio Barnhus alongside Petter Nordkvist and Axel Boman. Kovács' latest outing Szikra struck a chord with lovers of quality house music worldwide and as 2014 came to a close it lingered on top of many a year-end-list. But the sheer beauty of Szikra was only the beginning. 2015 is set to be a monster year for Kovács and it all begins with Nincs EP. Leading track Nordic Rave 4 sets the ball rolling with hyper-edited vocals and rolling percussion shrouded in frosty atmospherics and rudebwoy soundbites. Don't sleep on the acidic bassline that sneaks up on the unsuspecting towards the end! Utopia, Ohio is like all the characters of 80s movie classic The Breakfast Club rolled into one modern house track: the pretty tenderness of The Princess, The Athlete's muscular effectiveness, the off-kilter weirdness of The Basket Case, IDM techniques worthy of The Brain and the smooth ruthlessness of The Criminal - jackin' for beats in dusty record bins all over the world. The grandiose pads and descending bassline of Tooth make up a track that is as imposing as dizzying. Slightly out-of-tune samples quiver like a struck drum - thoroughly processed and mangled through Kovács' mutated machine park. Closing track So So Solid surprises by *not* being the ultimate clash between Jermaine Dupree and Reebok-clad grime stylings, although Kovács could probably pull that off as well. Instead we get a beatless loopfest akin to The Field or Gas - pure angst-ridden bliss! Collaborating with studio wizard Matt Karmil has given these productions an exquisite aura depth. On Nincs, the idiosyncrasies of Kornél Kovács' work come into light, always finding the sweet spot between crazy, sexy and pretty damn cool.

S E L E K T ? S E L E K T is the name of the new Bureau B sublabel
S E L E K T is the 12" platform for experiments by musicians on the label or other artists
S E L E K T offers space for collaborations and remixes. No borders

The protagonists:
Automat: Berlin music collective comprising Jochen Arbeit (Einstürzende Neubauten, Die Haut), Achim Färber (Project Pitchfork, Prag) and Georg Zeitblom (Sovetskoe Foto). Their debut album appeared in April 2014 on Bureau B.
Max Loderbauer: Berlin musician, producer and sonic architect on ambient, IDM and minimal techno terrain. One half of the Sun Electric duo in the 1990s, later a member of the Moritz von Oswald Trio, various collaborations with Ricardo Villalobos.
The outcome: dark, hypnotic, experimental electro dub/IDM

Andreas Reihse (Kreidler) on Automat & Max Loderbauer:
Muffled hammering grows rhythmical. An uncarpeted snare joins in, clicks and clacks, babbling, racing from left to right around your head, out the back and in through the front again, a beat, a beat drives forward, forward through jungle, tunnels, pushing on and on, Tempelhof, down the corridor, knocking, knock knock, doors open, everyone in. Doors close. A cigarette. Menthol. Hangs in the air. Screws the spring into the metal. Sacral. Sharpens. Sharpens. The sound gets dirtier. Breaks off. Breathe. Another cigarette. Menthol. Feedback fills the room and on it goes.
Automat and Max Loderbauer open proceedings on the new SELEKT label quite masterfully with an auspicious 4 track EP - Verstärker / Hall / Kompressor / Echo. How did this come about? Automat, busy recording their second album, came across Max Loderbauer in the neighbouring studio. They got along swimmingly and started working together straight away. "Everything played live, no overdubs" as Automat's bass player Georg Zeitblom confirms - first take, no shake. The studio was stripped down to basics. No computers though: a tape machine, guitar amplifier, analogue EQs, rehearsal space: "Re-rewind, the crowd say Bo Selekter!"

Short info:
Once a soft-spoken singer-songwriter, Soko's music quickly caught up with her untamable persona. Three years ago, Soko released her debut album "I Thought I Was An Alien," that featured the track "We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow", OST to the video "First Kiss" (about 100 million views). The track skyrocketed to the Top 10 of the Billboard Charts and did about 11,5 million streams (No. 1 Debut On Streaming Songs). Soko has now revamped her once innocent yet morbid folk into an insolent follow-up record, "My Dreams Dictate My Reality," due March 2nd 2015. Produced by the legendary Ross Robinson (who also produced her favorite band, The Cure) the album features the hypnotic duet "Lovetrap" with friend and lo-fi wizard Ariel Pink also.
Soko comes back with new-wave influences from the 80's that meet post-punk. The recording has great hooks and melodies with the potential of major hits such as "Who Wears The Pants ??", first extract from her new album My Dreams Dictate My Reality, to be released in March.

Key Selling Points :
- Album produced by Ross Robinson (The Cure, Slipknot, At The Drive In…). - Collaborations with Ariel Pink. She also featured on his 2014 critically acclaimed 'Pom Pom' album

VINYL ONLY RELEASE!
Tracklist: (A1) Mario (B1) Mario (ToFu Productions DubDub)
Info:
Galluzzi and Schneider: Two masters of their craft and two specialists for merging minimal techno with dark house vibes. This particular sound that is high on demand when the club crowd get lost in the middle of night. Lost in music. Lost in the hot air that makes their bodies sweat. Lost in these disco lights that makes us all dazed & confused. This very special sound, based on hypnotic and minimal beats with every bass sound hitting your body and soul. This is the world of Schneider and Galluzzi, this is exactly the moment when these two artists take control and won't let you go anymore. Their new collaboration "Mario" breathes exactly that vibe. The original version of "Mario" literally takes you on a journey. Come with Andre & Guido and follow those jazzy bass sounds with an almost oriental flavor and meet all the shimmering effects and crazy noises. Dance to this super hypnotic beat and hear the percussion parts that will drive you further and further into the night. This is the sound of our time and the soundtrack of our lives that happens on the dark and crazy floors all over the world. Turn the lights off and set the volume to max - here comes "Mario"!
Thomas Melchior & Fumiya Tanaka are on remix duties and the two follow the vibe of the original with all their skills. They are not trying to re-arrange and re-define the original at all which is exactly what is needed here. The result is an even deeper and even more hard-edged dub that lies somewhere between ingenuity and insanity. The dub relfects that special vibe of dark and foggy dance floors with all those happy dancers that just want to dance... until sunrise… and even longer. Kill the bassdrum and bring it back in… sometimes it's so easy to make us technoheads happy.

Shortinfo:
After a year spent perfecting the sound and style of his latest project, Andrea Fiorito makes his highly-anticipated return to Cynosure Recordings with Voodoo Grooves, the first of a two part EP that fuses funk, dub, and minimal with elements of analog house music straight from the New York city underground. Inspired by a recent pilgrimage to South America, Voodoo Grooves borrows the sounds of the Amazon, the flavour of Cuban Santeria, and the spirit of the rainforest in its warm, grounded basslines and hypnotic loops.

Shortinfo:
Following their debut EP with "Ezra Was Right" and support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Grandbrothers are presenting their debut album "Dilation". Twelve modern Experimental / Ambient / Piano pieces, whose sounds are generated completely out of a grand piano using small electromagnetic hammers.
Grandbrothers are Erol Sarp and Lukas Vogel. After meeting at university in Dusseldorf, Erol and Lukas formed Grandbrothers to tie together their respective musical backgrounds and disciplines: Erol is a trained jazz pianist, while by day Lukas constructs synthesizers at Access Music. Together, they create a sound that combines classical composition with modern, experimental production and sound design.

Their first song, 'Ezra Was Right', earned an early supporter in the esteemed Gilles Peterson, who included the track on his Bubblers 10 compilation and played it numerous times on his Worldwide radio show for BBC Radio 6 Music, with the song eventually being voted #7 by listeners in his end-of-year poll in 2013. A full EP on FILM followed - backed by remixes from legendary Manchester DJ Greg Wilson, Optimo's JD Twitch, and Kim Brown - which sold out its initial run within ten days.

Now, Grandbrothers present their debut album, Dilation. The product of two years work, Dilation builds on some of the ideas established on 'Ezra Was Right' while exploring further elements of minimalism, ambient music, IDM, and techno. Tracks start as repeated two or three note patterns, which gradually develop into sweeping, cinematic soundscapes, recalling the structural and rhythmic qualities club music as much as it does the work of a composer like Steve Reich, as well as Ryuichi Sakamoto's collaborations with Alva Noto.

Surprisingly, there are no synthetic sounds on Dilation: Erol and Lukas deliberately restrict themselves to the sounds of the grand piano across the album. "We wanted to make modern-sounding music using classical instruments," Lukas explains, "Instruments with a lot of history."

To achieve this modern sound, Lukas developed an unusual system for playing the piano. Drawing on his technical background, he created a series of electromechanical hammers that could be controlled via laptop (on software that he designed himself, no less) to 'play' the piano. This process allowed the duo to discover new, previously unknown sounds - sounds that couldn't be achieved through conventional playing - which give the record its unique sonic qualities.

"'Dilation' is a physical term for expansion and widening," Erol says, "We see the project as an experiment: how far you can go with a piano? How much you can get out of it, soundwise?"

With further manipulation using loops, effects, and amplification, Dilation is an album that covers an extraordinary range of sounds despite coming from such a small, unorthodox setup.
Classical, yet forward-thinking; expressive and emotional, yet with one foot on the dancefloor, Dilation is set to be an early highlight of 2015 and sure to put Grandbrothers on the radar for the future.

A1. Blackhall & Bookless - Straightener A2. Blackhall & Bookless - Differences B1. Blackhall & Bookless - Differences (Mike Dehnert Remix 1) B2. Blackhall & Bookless - Differences (Mike Dehnert Remix 2)
Info:
For their third release, Jaunt> Records returns to the guiding hand of its founders, Blackhall & Bookless. The label has made a well documented great start to life - and JR003 continues in a similarly enchanting vein. Getting us underway on the Differences EP is ’Straightener’. A techno bomb with lashings of
low end bass frequencies, it saunters about with an uncompromising swagger that’ll tear up the dancefloor. Next up we have the title track, a nifty creation that makes smart use of some clever drum work, a series of melodic charms and a whiff of airy pads. The first of the remixes comes from Berlin’s very own Mike Dehnert. The first of his two remixes of ‘Differences’ is full of bite, a fact that’s mainly attributable to the simmering snares and the snaking baseline that he injects the original with. His other remix, meanwhile, is a taut and heavy affair, but one that’s also full of vigour. Lastly, we have the sound of another Jaunt> boss, Chad, who delivers a cracking remix of ’Straightener’. Full of beguiling synths and a real sense of menace, it’s a fitting tribute to the original at the very least. This is another top class EP from a label that seems to be making a welcome habit of serving up such quality.

Tracklist
A1. Liem, Eddie Ness - Bassforce XXL B1. Liem, Eddie Ness - M-Trax B2. Eddie Ness, Johan Kaseta - Let's Get Playa
Shortinfo:
Lehult is back on the roll after living the rockstar life that naturally follows a sold out debut release.
But just like with sex and marriage, it's the second time that you really have to make count: after some overwhelming feedback for Lucky Charmz' "Follow Me To Flottbek Falls" EP, Lehult returns with a follow-up that adds some spin to the curveball. The "Let's Get Playa" EP introduces three core members of the Lehult crew: Liem (pictured on the cover, Gin&Tonic in hand), Eddie Ness and Johan Kaseta all take their shots in mixed couplets, delivering some machine driven, sunlit house with a refreshing, ice cold splash. "Bassforce XXL" sets up the A-sides' sunrise beach vibe with an uplifting chord progression and a fruity, dynamic bassline - the kind that makes a musician bounce around his studio grinning sheepishly, transporting that same effect to the dance floor.
Then, A2 "M-Trax", while revolving around the same sunlit feeling, plunges deeper with swirling birdsong melodies and raw, thumpin' drums'n'congas. Almost a rhythm track, its' simple yet challenging structure - emotive chords, a yearning for the held off bassline - creates an absorbed moment on the dancefloor. The title track "Let's Get Playa" on the B-side sees Eddie team up with Johan Kaseta-who has already silently put out a limited cassette beat tape on Lehult and has become infamous for his wild one-deck DJ-Sets. "Playa" is a seductive cut of low-slung breezy house that doesn't fail to surprise - before sending you driving into the sunset on your quad with the EP's extra-long, wavey outro.

Short info:
HALFTIME in the epic Episodes series by Jouem on Mojuba, the big picture is starting to get more and more recognizable. The fourth part is pushing the boundaries of Jouem's unmistakably sound again to new heights. This EP is by far the most dance floor oriented outing by him with fat basslines, heavy but open and dynamic drums and an atmosphere with a feeling that is pure bliss! Let the music talk to you!

Tracklist EP:
1. "Otras Dimensiones" - Pfirter 2. "Message 1" - Pfirter 3. "Technalog" - Pfirter 4. "Casus Belli" - Pfirter
Info:
Following on from the well received various artists series 'From the Lab to the Club', MindTrip 09 sees the return of label boss, Pfirter, with 4 brand new tracks, which encapsulate MindTrip's musical philosophy perfectly. The sonic soundscape of 'Otras Dimensiones' opens proceedings, layering dark and ambient textures. Tension builds throughout the track and really sets the mood for this record. Anticipation is finally rewarded by the opening bars of 'Message 1'. The apparently laid back, dark bassline gives rise to high frequency colour which serves to make this track a building cauldron of devilry, which is unrelenting in its pursuit of evil. This is Pfirter at his brilliant best and demonstrates his inimitable style flawlessly. The flip side of the EP picks up where the A side left off and opens with 'Technalog'. The dancefloor sounds of this eerie track are perfect for the dankest and grimiest of settings.
The final track, 'Casus Belli' is a driving statement of refusal to compromise. A powerful, dancefloor techno track whose rich analogue sounds blend together deep, fascinating layers and textures, hypnotising the listener as it ebbs and flows. This is MindTrip!

Office 04 circles in memories: The record is about Johannes “Iron Curtis” Paluka’s time at Karl-Marx-Straße Berlin where he used to live next door to label head Baaz and graphic designer Chris Fladung. A1 track “Magnet” is an ecstatic piece of house music holding all elements IC’s production is esteemed and loved for : Heavy, unrelenting kicks, rolling bass lines, shimmering pads, topped with searing hot yet gamelan-like synts and an icing of slightly loose, detuned organ stabs predesting grand emotions on any dance floor. ‘What happened happened’ surely marks up as another proof of Curtis’ fearless takes on house music: distorted field recordings and blurred spoken words, a web of gossamer melodies and subtle clicks and cuts, all cohered by the louche bassline and the reshuffled groove in a true dilla-ish vein. Adapting elements to their own agenda, clandestine groove explorers Berg turn ‘What happened’ into a true midnight roller: razor-sharp hihitas join forces with a steam-maschine like percussion, whipping relentlessly in-between kick drum and kick drum. Berg cools off their take with prancing melody motifs and strung out pads of the original track, though never loosing focus of the ‘reductions’ aim: keep the dancer dancing.

Tracklist :
A: West Ridge B: East Ridge
Info:
Valleys, ravines, crags, inaccessible mountain peaks, abyss. Since times immemorial, stark mountain landscape has always been humankind's inspiration and a constant reference point for many generations of exploratory artists. "Ridges" is a result of a creative encounter between veteran of improvised avant-electronics Max Loderbauer (among others, co-creator of Sun Electric, member of Moritz von Oswald Trio, and frequent collaborator of Ricardo Villalobos) and spiritus movens of Warsaw-based label Recognition Jacek Sienkiewicz. Meeting takes place not only on the level of investigating pure sound and building complex structures, but also on the level of fascination with mountainside aura and mystique that is common to both artists: Alps (Loderbauer) and Tatra (Sienkiewicz), as well as with the vocal cultures of communities inhabiting theese areas. Deeply introspective and individualistic confrontation
between two peer sensibilities and imaginative worlds gave birth to two separate compositions in the vein of contemplative electronic music at it purest.
Both timeless and futuristic, soundscapes imagined by Loderbauer and Sienkiewicz could serve as a perfect antidote to turbo-speed contemporaneity with its tweets, social networks, neuroses and unavoidable anxieties. This music is created without paying attention to current trends and tendencies, although it simultaneously takes its due place among the works of noble pioneers, from Popol Vuh's Transilvanian hymns in Herzog's "Nosferatu" and Lionel Marchetti's concrete report from the glacier, to Simon Fisher Turner's Himalayan soundtracks. More than 20 minutes of material contained in "Ridges" is a document of research passions of both musicians, while for the listeners it could serve as an invitation for imaginative sound journeys, but also for a bit of research that could - and should! - be undertaken on one's own.

The music Strahil Velchev alias KiNK creates for the 12-inch format is as playful and fanciful as it is functional and precise. His first outing for Running Back is no exception. Inspired by the hardware of the same name, his "Cloud Generator EP" makes the most use of that. Computer nerd symphonies and cyberpunk melodies for clubs, roofless raves and virtual racing games. Wilhelm Reich and William Gibson would enjoy this. Oh, and there is a breakbeat mix on here as well.

Tracklist:
A1) Soul Dynamic (Fur Coat Remix) A2) Soul Dynamic (Original) B) Soul Dynamic (Kenny Larkin Moogerfooger Mix)
Infotext:
With the build up to the highly anticipated debut album for both Ruede Hagelstein and Watergate Records nearing it's release date, we have put together an advanced release of the original Ruede track 'Soul Dynamic' including some stunning remixes to get you ready. With the original, Ruede does what he does best and administers a big melodic club hit ripe with canorous shimmers and a warm rolling sub bass bolstered by crisp percussion grooves and a vocal persistently muttering 'Soul Dynamic'. This alone should be enough, but we didn't stop there. Up first on remix duties, and without any introduction is the legendary Kenny Larkin. Coming off his massive remix of La Fleur on Watergate last year, he takes the same approach and lays out a long,
tracky version of the original, building tension over the twelve minutes with ghostly rhodes riffs and eerie strings. Possibly the heaviest of the all the remixes is from Fur Coat as they provide us with a dark, strobe light infused adaptation packed with huge bass stabs and spectral tones. Finally, we have another whose name needs no introduction, Douglas Greed. With his version of 'Soul Dynamic' he takes the most playful approach of the three remixes by creating a hypnotic, looping lead laid over earthy percussive lines and a sweltering wash of keys. No matter what you're looking for, one of these will do the trick. It's not so much which one to play, but which one to play first.

Track List:
A1: Ain't Made 4 U A2: Live from the Basement B1: Ain't Made 4 U (Christian Burkhardt & Andre Buljat remix) B2: Ain't Made 4 U (Hitch Remix)
Info:
Hot off the back of the their successful inaugural release from Quenum & Cesare vs Disorder, the young Barcelona label continues to drive forward with their mission to move people by drawing from an expansive and expressive universe of melodic and rhythmic sounds. The result of this is a carefully curated, limited edition of vinyl and digital releases, and next in line is a brand new EP from Russian producer and DJ, Tripmastaz. Andrew Guyvoronsky (aka Tripmastaz) is the one of a few underground producers from Russia to make serious tidal waves in the dance community gaining world-wide recognition and respect from fans, media and DJs alike. On top of his tracks being featured in a variety of famous compilations such as Fabric and DJ-Kicks, Tripmastaz has been focused on a busy touring schedule and on making Russia decidedly more funky for the past 10 years. This new EP melds the stripped back with the downright, dirty bass bombs synonymous with Tripmastaz's style. Title track 'Ain't Made 4 U' is a swirling house-funk journey that is built to move bodies across floors. 'Live from the Basement' takes things back a little with a more minimal approach to percussive techno then Christian Burkhardt & Andre Buljat's remix of EP opener slams us back to the heady, peak-time dance floor, before HITCH closes out the EP with his rolling and hypnotic take on the A-side.
Good taste will always prevail.

Tracklist:
A1. Fixer A2. Moon Light Leaves B1. Extended Sunset B2. Weekend
Shortinfo:
Though Moving Vision is the fourth EP the Japanese producer-and-DJ has released on Yore, it arrives more than four years after the appearance of Tokyo Connection and five after City Soul and Butterfly - even more his return to Yore keeps bursting with fresh energy. A powerful, seven-minute argument on behalf of Kez YM's sound, "Extended Sunset" bolts from the gate with a steamy house pulse that oozes soul and splendour in equal measure, and luscious synth chords and funky bass lines add significantly to the music's allure. Much as he's done in the past, Yamaguchi threads crowd noises into "Moon Light Leaves," a move that bolsters its party spirit and "live" club feel. In a cut that's even more resplendent than "Extended Sunset," the producer works vocal accents and acid-techno boogie into the tune's charging house pulse. Unbelievably, the roaring throb of the third Track "Weekend," which pushes the EP's hard-charging vibe to an even higher level.
Rounding out the twenty-five-minute release the 4th Track, "Fixer" that's no less steamy as the track turns out as a pure feverish dancefloor monster powered by South American rhythms, percussion, and horns. Kez YM easily proves that he hasn't lost his touch.
