Rising star John Dimas is up next on One Records with two killer club cuts backed up by remixes from Argentine house master Guti and label boss Adam Shelton. ‘Rhythm Trap’ is a peak time hypnotic affair with a propulsive groove building into a teasing acid line. Second original track ‘Let It Go’ feat. Jose is another analogue banger with serious bounce and techno swagger. The vinyl includes four exclusive locked grooves. Greek/Berlin based producer John Dimas is fast becoming a name to watch after the stunning and diverse ‘Living Lies EP’ on La Vie En Rose and a recent release on Dame Music. This offering on One Records is set to cement 2013 as a breakthrough year for the artist. John gained a reputation in his native Thessaloniki, Greece for his three turntables DJ sets and an ear for digging out the hottest, rare tracks. Soon John was on the international club circuit and a first foray into the studio came with duo Actor One in 2008. Now John is concentrating on solo production and developing his more experimental live sets. Guti is the musician with the Jazz and Latin roots who turned to techno and has since bestowed his intense musicality to a solid cannon of productions on home label Desolat (including debut album ‘Patio De Juegos’) Crosstown Rebels and Wolf + Lamb. One Records’ boss Adam Shelton has been delivering some worldclass Remixes of late including the massive ‘What I Might Do’ by Ben Pearce and Subban’s ‘Rain’ on Visionquest. Watch out for his next EP on One Records 25th release featuring Italian producer/vocalist Francesca Lombardo.

Elephant Moon proudly presents Russian producer Plantae (Artyom Zlobin).. His love for contemporary electronic music came a little later in life, with early influences coming from the worlds of old rock, jazz, hip-hop and older electronic recordings. He has a deep-seated love for nature, and counts art, design, books and film among his inspirations outside of music. On this EP he channels all his influences into four nuanced cuts, straight from his laboratory to John Dimas, the head scientist at Elephant Moon.

"Elephant Moon unveils the latest instalment with a hot new EP from Lee Burton. The Six Dogs resident, has been busy of late with a steady flow of releases on labels like Body Parts , developing his own distinct brand of dubby, cosmic house On side A, he gets things moving nicely with '15.30 (The Jam)', an instantly catchy, groove-heavy bubbler with shimmering pads and infectious, skipping percussion. '12 Angry Apes' follows up with a slightly more pensive mood, though still maintaining a skip in its step. This one feels as though it's on the verge of an emotional outburst. Over on the flipside the contemplation continues with 'Osmosis', which will open the parts of your mind other tunes just can't reach, taking you away to distant lands where your spirit can be free. The pads and keys alone are enough to transport you from your everyday life into another dimension... fresh! Lastly 'Racily' takes us back to the eighties with a dreamy electro workout that the mighty Drexciya would be proud of. The pace slows, the mood is introspective and the vibe is utterly addictive.

From the label: "Elephant Moon continues its steady schedule of releases with a brand new EP from label owner John Dimas and Danish talent Samuel Andre Madsen (AKA S.A.M). On this fresh new release we're treated to two tracks from Monsieur Dimas and two from S.A.M. To open we have a quirky little space jam called 'Moon Patrol' by John Dimas. It has chunky percussion at its foundation with off-key chimes and cosmic pads giving it an interstellar feel. Samuel's 'Reshaped For Moonwalk' mix puts John's mix on a diet, making it far lighter and focusing on the ethereal elements turning it into a sweet galactic ditty. On the flip we get a sombre bossa nova ride from S.A.M., all jazzy with a grooving bassline and galloping beats. It's a cool, laid back riddim from the Dane and we're sure you'll love it. John Dimas gives the track his own Monday mix, bringing the tempo down even more and crafting a delicate heady rework. Smooth..."

Elephant Moon hits us with a super dope batch of new music this Spring. The new release is a collection of music from several different artists and demonstrates the diversity of the label?s output. Across four brand new tracks we?re presented with smooth grooves, odd, whimsical sound design and dynamic dance floor rollers. Things start off tentatively with Italian Rinaldo Makaj?s ?Quasar?, a dreamy soundscape which envelopes you in its lush rhythms and deep, meditative bassline. Josh Tweek?s ?Coffee Curves? shares side A with ?Quasar?, though the atmosphere is totally different. Confused robotic bleeps and effects pop up throughout, seemingly out of sync with the percussion while a sombre b-line rumbles below. On the flip side we have ?Oulton Road? by Christian AB. A vibey cut, which encapsulates all that is great about the deeper end of house music; measured, emotive and utterly danceable. Accompanying ?Oulton Road? is ?Element Of Lights? by Gianmarco Orsini, a bouncing dance floor-ready slice of 4x4 rudeness . Each side includes 1 bonus locked groove from John & Giammarco :) There you go, four distinct styles from four skilled artists. Look out for the V/A in all good record shops!

"Introducing a brand new label from Berlin-based Greek, John Dimas. Elephant Moon is a platform conceived by John to simply collect and release music from his talented group of friends. Having built up a strong reputation thanks to his excellent back catalogue of productions on labels such as One Records and La Vie En Rose, he decided that now is the time to dedicate his deep knowledge of house and techno to running a label of his own. The first release sees John teaming up with his good friend, Paris producer Djebali. Having a mutual admiration for each other's work, it was a logical move for the two artists to collaborate. A few studio sessions resulted in the 'Soul Vision' EP, which is comprised three tracks together with a special DJ tool. The title-track on side-A focuses on the dance floor, bringing groove-led jazzy vibes throughout. A classic house atmosphere pervades, demonstrating the duo's ability to channel the past in a contemporary manner. As an added bonus, as both men are fans of DJ tools, there's a 'beats only' version of the track for those who love a bit of spritely percussion. On side-B, we get 'Faith', a heads-down workout, which would be perfect to throw into the mix, mid-set - not too hectic, though with just enough verve to keep the energy levels high. Finally, 'Healer' closes out the flip side, instilling a light, airy vibe to the EP - infused with more jazz-inflected rhythms and a warm feeling from start to end."
