Unleashing a sonic tempest, "Infected Frequencies" by DisX3 marks a pivotal moment for the first release of SE records.

With each track, "Infected Frequencies" carves a path through uncharted sonic territory. Get ready to be infected.
The release doesn't stop here, as the enigmatic MasCon, delivers remixes with Tresor's resident Mario Berger and SYER, who adds a dark techno version. More

This excellent piece of music (sourced from the original DAT) was way ahead of its time in '95. Still a roller. For Selectors only. More

Following the success of Eric B & Rakim covers on 45, touching Hip Hop and rare groove fans, Medline explores new horizons. Well known to be free from styles boundaries, the French Chilean multi - instrumentalist unveil a two side Afro Funk killer.

Marked with the "universal power" title on the label, third 7 inch on My Bags catalog, this new 45 shows Medline's abilities to produce high quality music in a wide range of styles. The compositions are produced with a brilliant contrast. The uptempo "Run For Cover" is a huge Afro beat runner with a hardcore feeling while "Azul", is a heavy downtempo soul funk anthem, and shines like a massive solar energy boost.

Medline brings back the 70's West African sound signature, carried by a hot drum and bass couple, leaded by the Farfisa organ and harmonized with a powerful brass section. The rhythm is wild, mastered by dynamical arrangements when the breaks are hitting loudly around. And yes as always Medline is the ONE playing all.

The artistic fate offered beautiful colors and forms to the music. Clément Laurentin's elegant painting "Run For Cover" reminding Bob Marley and Lee Perry's records, baptized the first composition which includes a "Jamaican" surprise. "Azul" (Blue in Spanish) is the main color of Clément's creation which remind the look of the famous azulejos. The link happens without any previous consultation, all was here to be done this way, connecting cultural areas and eras. To end, the acrylic painting on linen canvas is the perfect organic mirror to this new 7 inch.

My Bags is happy to offer this "tratra" (Ivorian pancake), designed with all the elements of a ready to dig holy grail, Soul inspired, Afro beat to the core.

Vera Grace marks the first LP on Deestricted's imprint with "Infernvm". Dark, raw and rumbling sounds carve the visceral discent into the nine circles of Dante's Inferno, exploring the conditions of the soul in absence of light. More

Following from a.s.o. 's self-titled LP, we have a set of remixes taking their trip-hop torch songs in new and different directions.
Under his Lew E moniker, Lewie Day takes 'Go On' for a trip to trance-town. Brooding minor key menace as Alia Seror-O'Neil's melancholic vocal gets twisted into strange shapes, eventually becoming an instrument of its own. Mutating from the organic to the synthetic during an adrenaline-racing breakdown. Day sounds like he's having a great deal of fun playing with and defying the conventions of the genre.
Maara explores a similar space on her re-rub of 'My Baby's Got It Out For Me'. Once again, Seror-O'Neil's voice is flexed and warped, spinning around the stereo field, as emotive as she ever sounds but more abstracted. Gossamer light with a heavyweight trance chassis - an iron fist in a lace glove.
Rising star Cousin moves in an earthier and more dubwise fashion on his remix of 'Falling Under.' His trademark shuffling, layered percussion comes with gnarly electronics and blissed-out synths. All the while, that vocal refrain leads us through the bong smoke toward the light. A work of restraint and release, the perfect fit for a.s.o.
Purelink's redo of 'Rain Down' is closer stylistically to the original. Bubbling synth-bass grooves atop a breakbeat, the vocal chopped and diced tastefully. Balearic street soul vibes, a hypnotic and heady five minutes. Beautiful business.

Kindred labels Animalia and NAFF co-release a collaborative project by Priori and Cousin.

Seamlessly bridging the artists’ individually honed styles, Numina displays four carefully crafted, beautifully understated, ultra-deep tracks that oscillate between club workouts and bass meditations. Hi-def and tripped to the core, this is dub for complex organisms. More

More uncommonly good reboots of contemporary jams and reinterpretations of standards (in every sense)

Not done for personal shine, just a shared desire to have some real finery, and not just in binary.

Tried & tested sure-shots one and all, we have a VERY limited run available.

ALMACKS provides community in secret spaces.
The sublime liminal. More

DJ Monchan returns with a killer two track EP.

The sound experience is similar to his previous releases and continues to explore the void between old-school 80's house and 70's disco.

'Love Me' has that 80's house backbone but loops and filters the disco samples into a real journey...proper Loft biz if you ask us.
'U&Me' is a serious boogie stepper that is as bumpy as it gets and together with the smooth vocals this will sound ace at any disco jam :) More

After "Il Mare Di Fronte", Flankup Recordings returns with its second album release “Sidi Bou Said” which presents another substantial 5-track EP composed and produced by Paolo Russi (Discojuice) and Marco Lanfranchi (Indy). Harnessing both disco and Afro Balearic beats, the record will be released both on vinyl and in digital versions and will feature a dynamic remix of the track El Haouharia by none other than Byron The Aquarius titled “Late nite Dub”.

After a first appearance on our “get-together” various artists, we couldn’t be happier to welcome back two of Bucharest’s finests, Priku & Dinu. Warm, cosy, dub-infused but always highly effective grooves from the minimal masterminds, including an alternative version of “stereo eyes”, previously released on get-traum. Cherry on top ? Two reworks from label head Traumer, one being under his recently launched moniker, Jinger. More
