J.Wiltshire - Rush Point 9
J.Wiltshire returns to MUSAR with Sunflower At Day EP — a deep, atmospheric excursion across four tightly woven dance-floor tracks.
Marking MUSAR’s 20th release, this EP showcases some of Wiltshire’s most club- ready work yet, blending outsider house, ambient trance, and Cornish electronic influences.
The title track ‘Sunflower At Day’ is a shoegaze-infused chugger that nods to the ethereal haze of My Bloody Valentine and has a rave energy reminiscent of Future Sound of London. Track two, ‘Cosmic Slap’, takes over with its deep, dub- heavy sounds and off-kilter rhythms, playing to Wiltshire's more experimental side under a techno beat.
On the B side, we dive deeper into Wiltshire's intricate melodic world.
‘Traversing’ unfolds with enveloping, pastoral harmonic patterns, balancing surging intensity with an organic flow.
Finally, the EP closes with the cinematic ‘Rush Point 9’, a late-night noir groove that offers a perfect, reflective finale to this sonic journey.
With Sunflower At Day, Wiltshire fuses intricate textures and melodies with dance- floor intensity, offering another great soundscape from the artist for both club and home listeners.

J.Wiltshire - The Number Counters

J.Wiltshire - Trails
12’’ Transparent EP Vinyl (limited edition to 150 copies) with insert printed artwork.
Three deep excursions from the superb J.Wiltshire and a remix from Konx-om-
Pax to back them up.
UK-born, Berlin-based, J.Wiltshire (Hypercolour/Super Hexagon) returns to MUSAR for
a deep excursion with Planet Mu's Konx-om-Pax on remix duties.
The tracks came to fruition in Berlin during a time in society when everything was closed
and there was a huge layer of uncertainty across the globe. "I was channelling my
interest in the introspective side of trance and finding comfort in what I was creating. It
was sort of like going back to using processes from when I first started making dance
music."
With three original tracks on the EP, 'Luv 44' opens the EP with a pulsating boom-bap
groove and atmospheric synth work via acidic licks from the SH-101. 'The Number
Counters' boasts sporadic analogue delay with white-noise snare drums and haunting
ostinatos. 'Trails' is a welcoming, sluggish roller that chugs into oblivion, making for an
idyllic warm-up excerpt for the club.
On remix duties, special guest Konx-om-Pax is summoned to bring his own
interpretation of 'The Number Counters'. As an artist, you may recognise Konx-om-Pax’s
visuals for Warp, Mogwai, Underground Resistance, Oneohtrix Point Never, Hyperdub,
Advanced Beauty and LuckyMe. Oftentimes when turning his hand to production, the
Planet Mu signee develops the original elements and pushes them into new territory via
a host of analogue effects chains. Among the mix is a hypnotic and continual breakbeat
that dips in and out dynamically, plus a host of improvised effects that sporadically paint
over the mix like a beautiful and chaotic tapestry.

J.Wiltshire - Summon Them
Following 12"s from Ricardo Tobar and MANASYt, the third
release on Tel Aviv's MUSAR welcomes rising UK star and
Super Hexagon label boss, J.Wiltshire.
The Laghan Pux EP finds Wiltshire sharing his psychedelic
electronic side and brings his versatile skills together, serving
up four completely different soundtracks.
The gleaming sci-fi gem 'DESklep' opens the EP as a pure
melodic IDM track loaded with Cornwall style while the bassheavy
title track 'Laghan Pux' is pumping as a dark & sharp
peak-time trippy beast.
Next up, the mysterious Roy of The Ravers, gives you an interpretation of what proper acid sounds like, whereas
'Chained Releases' takes you on a deep and hypnotic
adventure into space, full of warm guitar melodies and trancey
synths.
'Summon Them' closes the EP, an ambient magic piece for a
hazy, orange morning where the birds just woke up and the
trees singing for the first time to break the day.

Stefan Vincent - 8AM On The Train To Work You Ask Me To Send You Something That Makes Me Happy (F
For Dutch artist Stefan Vincent, the feeling of melancholy also offers the opportunity for beauty to be found.
“Decay and loneliness can serve a purpose. Depression can teach you things. To feel deep sadness also means the ability to feel profound emotions.” he says. With this in mind, his debut album on MUSAR Recordings, “Post- Melancholy”, unpacks the twists and turns of grappling with this emotion, drawing from breaks, electro and IDM to make his most intricate work to date, after previous releases on Token, Dynamic Reflection, Symbolism, and Non-Series.
Throughout “Post-Melancholy” Vincent traces the wave of melancholy and how it moves through the body, which allows for lighter moments alongside darker moods. Perhaps the lightest track on the album is its acidic-breaks opener, “Eyes Unclouded”, with its soaring acid lines and dazzling synths, which acts as a false pretense for the rest of the album. Tracks like “Poise”, “Arpeggino” and the meditative “Yonghegong Lama Temple Exit F” also break up the intensity. However, nestled between the more pacey, bass-weighted tracks on the album, these lighter openings still feel like tear-jerkers.
The more common associations of melancholy show up on tracks like “Another Skin To Wear” and “You Know This Isn’t Going To End Well”, which all create a more ominous feel via IDM and the polyrhythmic structures of drum’n’bass. Particularly on “Another Skin To Wear”, which borrows its name from a Radiohead lyric, the track's swooping motion feels realistic to melancholy’s chaotic and often unpredictable path. But, like all great storytellers, Vincent leaves the most poignant moment of the album for last with the rolling “8AM on the Train… (For Maarten)” devoted to his dear friend, Maarten, who sadly passed away at the young age of 36.
This LP is dedicated to Maarten de Vries (1986-2022)

Hoshina Anniversary - Banri

Hoshina Anniversary - Kaga

Hoshina Anniversary - Usagi
Genre: House / Techno
In Japanese, the word “Guru-Guru” refers to the state of spinning, whirling.?
This state is captured in the work of Japanese artist Hoshina Anniversary, who makes his third appearance on MUSAR with his EP Guru Guru and marks the return of the label after an extended break.
Hoshina’s self-titled brand of ‘Watechno’ has appeared on well-loved dance music labels like ESP Institute, Volvox’s Jack Dept and Young Marco’s Safe Trip,
alongside MUSAR where he also appeared as Shifting Gears back in 2022; an electronic-jazz-centered moniker.
His Guru Guru EP captures the latest snapshot of Hoshina’s sound and sees him draw from Japanese language as a through-line.
The title track is the clearest representation of his ‘Watechno’, where he uses Japanese instrumentation on top of a menacing EBM-style march. The track's slowly whirling momentum is the “Guru-Guru”.
On tracks like “Banri”, which means far away in Japanese, we see new shades to Hoshina’s work as he mixes a Japanese Wadaiko drum groove with acidic elements and piano melodies to make a track of contradictions which pairs roughness with elegance. Whereas on “Usagi”, Japanese for rabbit, Hoshina fires up the BPM.
Piano melodies remain here but their effect is more drifting and emotive than on “Banri”.
“Kaga” is named after a place in the southernmost part of Ishikawa Prefecture, between Kanazawa City and Fukui City.
On this track, Hoshina’s love for jazz comes through and even mirrors the work we heard from him under Shifting Gears.

Stefan Vincent - Yonghegong Lama Temple Exit F (Priori Remix)
Limited 12'' edition transparent crystal vinyl (150 copies) in a PVC sleeve with inner printed artwork.
Melancholy, the feeling, is often associated with darkness and deep depression. For
Dutch artist Stefan Vincent, within the experience of melancholy there’s beauty to be
found. “Decay and loneliness can serve a purpose. Depression can teach you things.
To feel deep sadness also means the ability to feel profound emotions.” he says.
For his debut on MUSAR Recordings, “Pre Melancholy” EP, Vincent channels these
notions of Melancholy into three tracks that draw on darker moods but also reflect
beauty in their intricacy and the atmospheres they create. This EP acts as a
precursor to his forthcoming album on MUSAR, “Post Melancholy” which is due in
September.
“Mono No Aware” and “Yonghegong Lama Temple Exit F” are both taken from the LP,
placed side by side with “Agent of Distraction”, an exclusive track from Vincent for
this EP only. We’re also pleased to have Montreal-based musician Priori on the remix
of “Yonghegong...”. His rework draws further emotion from that of Vincent’s by
slowing the pace and bringing delicate melodies to the forefront; it’s one for
introspection.

Ricardo Tobar - Mineral
Genre: House / Techno
We commence with a warm and bouncy UK acid house vibe. We conclude with a beguiling 'Boards of Canada' style electronic bubble bath. We're treated to an array of flavors and an outstanding S.O.N.S remix in between. It can only be MUSAR and another compelling collection from Ricardo Tobar.
With a discography that started on Border Community and includes the likes of Co-coon and ESP Institute as well as MUSAR, Chilean Ricardo's credentials speak for themselves.
His music does, too. Constantly playing with themes of displacement, disorientation and delight in his fusions, 'Our Violence' was inspired by the ongoing discussions of cultural appropriation. At its heaviest, on tracks like the Isolee-esque 'Our Vio-lence' and S.O.N.S's SYO rolling breakbeat remix of 'La Femme Aux Masques', we're thrust deep into the most hypnotic of dances. At its most esoteric and experi-mental, tracks like 'Mineral' and 'La Femme Aux Masques', we're taken to places we didn't even know existed. Places that refuse to accept current formulas or standards and take us outside the box - where MUSAR always loves to be.

J.Wiltshire - Trails
12’’ Transparent EP Vinyl (limited edition to 150 copies) with insert printed artwork.
Three deep excursions from the superb J.Wiltshire and a remix from Konx-om-
Pax to back them up.
UK-born, Berlin-based, J.Wiltshire (Hypercolour/Super Hexagon) returns to MUSAR for
a deep excursion with Planet Mu's Konx-om-Pax on remix duties.
The tracks came to fruition in Berlin during a time in society when everything was closed
and there was a huge layer of uncertainty across the globe. "I was channelling my
interest in the introspective side of trance and finding comfort in what I was creating. It
was sort of like going back to using processes from when I first started making dance
music."
With three original tracks on the EP, 'Luv 44' opens the EP with a pulsating boom-bap
groove and atmospheric synth work via acidic licks from the SH-101. 'The Number
Counters' boasts sporadic analogue delay with white-noise snare drums and haunting
ostinatos. 'Trails' is a welcoming, sluggish roller that chugs into oblivion, making for an
idyllic warm-up excerpt for the club.
On remix duties, special guest Konx-om-Pax is summoned to bring his own
interpretation of 'The Number Counters'. As an artist, you may recognise Konx-om-Pax’s
visuals for Warp, Mogwai, Underground Resistance, Oneohtrix Point Never, Hyperdub,
Advanced Beauty and LuckyMe. Oftentimes when turning his hand to production, the
Planet Mu signee develops the original elements and pushes them into new territory via
a host of analogue effects chains. Among the mix is a hypnotic and continual breakbeat
that dips in and out dynamically, plus a host of improvised effects that sporadically paint
over the mix like a beautiful and chaotic tapestry.

Three deep excursions from the superb J.Wiltshire and a remix from Konx-om-
Pax to back them up.
UK-born, Berlin-based, J.Wiltshire (Hypercolour/Super Hexagon) returns to MUSAR for
a deep excursion with Planet Mu's Konx-om-Pax on remix duties.
The tracks came to fruition in Berlin during a time in society when everything was closed
and there was a huge layer of uncertainty across the globe. "I was channelling my
interest in the introspective side of trance and finding comfort in what I was creating. It
was sort of like going back to using processes from when I first started making dance
music."
With three original tracks on the EP, 'Luv 44' opens the EP with a pulsating boom-bap
groove and atmospheric synth work via acidic licks from the SH-101. 'The Number
Counters' boasts sporadic analogue delay with white-noise snare drums and haunting
ostinatos. 'Trails' is a welcoming, sluggish roller that chugs into oblivion, making for an
idyllic warm-up excerpt for the club.
On remix duties, special guest Konx-om-Pax is summoned to bring his own
interpretation of 'The Number Counters'. As an artist, you may recognise Konx-om-Pax’s
visuals for Warp, Mogwai, Underground Resistance, Oneohtrix Point Never, Hyperdub,
Advanced Beauty and LuckyMe. Oftentimes when turning his hand to production, the
Planet Mu signee develops the original elements and pushes them into new territory via
a host of analogue effects chains. Among the mix is a hypnotic and continual breakbeat
that dips in and out dynamically, plus a host of improvised effects that sporadically paint
over the mix like a beautiful and chaotic tapestry.

Pera Sta Ori - BOUNCING/LASSITUDE
Transparent EP Vinyl (limited edition to 150 copies) with insert printed artwork
Pera Sta Ori is the pseudonym of greek sound artist and producer,
George Kontogiannidis. Professing a futuristic style, his music blends
senses from DnB, IDM and bleep. Bursting into the general
consciousness back in 2017, time has only seen this promising artist
grow with releases on brokntoys, Furthur Electronix and Yellow
Machines. He now readies his next EP with us at MUSAR, titled
‘IMMI’.
Short for ‘Immigrant’, ‘IMMI’ EP is dedicated to uprooted people.
Within, Pera Sta Ori explores an imaginary world in which misery is
erased from memory. Projecting into vast expanses, each track
forms an echo chamber. From the urgent and frenetic vocals of ´SCATTER 0^’, layered with crunching percussion and swarming
bass, to the ambience of ‘Bouncing/Lassitude’ and downtempo
quirks of ‘CIN1’, Pera Sta Ori provides a variance of headscapes to
slip into.
Chilean celestial spark Kamila Govorèin creates her own world on
the remix of ‘CIN1’. Jagged percussion ripple and ricochet with nearindustrial
inflections. Peppered with openings of etherealism, the
samples of the original glide whilst Govorèin keeps things driving
with four-to-the- floor punches.

Annie Hall - Santolina
After more than a decade of deep, expansive productions on labels such as Detroit Underground and CPU, Annie Hall
arrives on MUSAR for a record typically rich in tex- ture andunderstated grooves.
Opening track ‘Linium’ immediately seduces listeners with a complex drum pattern that somehow feels spacious, subtly
twisting and turning it’s way around Hall’s analogue world.
Dutch artist Mattheis maintains this understated feel but adds a soft, compelling kick in response on his suspenseful remix of
‘Lavandula’. The original, moodier version of this cut the follows to open the B side, gradually erupting around a killer distorted bassline.
The EP continues to hit a more urgent note with the tense machinations of ‘Silene’, where dense layers of stuttering,
frenetic drums interweave with Hall’s trademark, melancholy keys. The record concludes on a weightless, transcendent note
with ‘San- tolina’, taking each visceral element featured thus far and slowing each down, with af- fecting results.
Indebted to vintage electro and IDM, Hall’s music is no throwback, always looking for- ward and moving dancefloors in the most unexpected ways.

MANASYt - Orthodox Spanking
MUSAR is honoured to welcome Bulgaria's electro-synth pioneer
MANASYt with a new five- track EP, the first in a three-part series.
'Reality Defense Department' will be the Bulgarian's first new material
since 2012.
Petar Tassev aka MANASYt, hails from the twilight zone. Growing up
with the blacks swans in the forest of communist Bulgaria, listening to
metal and hardcore music then interpreting the moody, roughness
together with inspirations from electronic new-wave music to a raw,
pure and dark adventure bubbling with madness.
'Reality Defense Department' is a future horror movie soundtrack.
The first track 'Memory Imprints' is a pure psychedelic-trip into the
mental clinic for clockwork orange droogs, while the second track
'Mobile Pharmacy' evokes an apocalyptic alien attack. 'Orthodox
Spanking' is a dark, wayward fetish party electro track full of postpunk
elements, fit- ting for an artist given to performing live in a
rubber 'gimp' mask.
A pair of remixes are supplied by Brooklyn's wonder girl 'Via App' with
a deep, dark and gothic techno rework for the late dazed hours of the
morning and Norwich's kept secret, Wax Stag (an occasional
collaborator with Bibio and Clark) that delivers a dreamy, cosmic twist
that will linger in your consciousness for a long, long time to come.

J.Wiltshire - Summon Them
Following 12"s from Ricardo Tobar and MANASYt, the third
release on Tel Aviv's MUSAR welcomes rising UK star and
Super Hexagon label boss, J.Wiltshire.
The Laghan Pux EP finds Wiltshire sharing his psychedelic
electronic side and brings his versatile skills together, serving
up four completely different soundtracks.
The gleaming sci-fi gem 'DESklep' opens the EP as a pure
melodic IDM track loaded with Cornwall style while the bassheavy
title track 'Laghan Pux' is pumping as a dark & sharp
peak-time trippy beast.
Next up, the mysterious Roy of The Ravers, gives you an interpretation of what proper acid sounds like, whereas
'Chained Releases' takes you on a deep and hypnotic
adventure into space, full of warm guitar melodies and trancey
synths.
'Summon Them' closes the EP, an ambient magic piece for a
hazy, orange morning where the birds just woke up and the
trees singing for the first time to break the day.

Ricardo Tobar - The Structures Of Summer Are Within Us
Genre: House / Techno
Following celebrated releases from Annie Hall, J.Wiltshire, MANASYt and Mental
Overdrive, Amsterdam based label MUSAR returns to Ricardo Tobar for ‘Nadivi’, two
earthy electronic trips, accompanied by a bewitching remix from Legowelt.
On this exciting release, Chilean-born Tobar continues his knack of blending the live
tones of krautrock and electronica with a house and techno pulse, in a style not
dissimilar to Luke Abbot or James Holden (Tobar has previously released on the
latter’s imprint, Border Community.)
Title track ‘Navidi’ finds him at his offbeat best, a genuinely progressive and
psychedelic rolling house number that blossoms into something surprisingly epic
while utilising only weirdo textures, askew basslines and otherworldly samples.
Legowelt, meanwhile, flips the energy of the original into an acid bath, blending his
typical grit with a halcyon and dare we say, surprisingly funky bassline!
Retaining the weirdo spirit of its source material. Finally, on the memorably titled ‘The
Structures Of Summer Are Within Us’, Tobar rolls out a wistful, cathartic live jam that
blossoms into something curious and perhaps unexpected, reminiscent of Silver
Apples or Animal Collective.
Staking further claim as one of the most naturally innovative and feeling producers in
the electronic music landscape, ‘Navidi’ is that rare sort of dance release;
propulsive, intriguing and refreshingly lovely.

Nightwave - The Journey (Violet Remix)
Genre: House / Techno
12" EP Vinyl (Limited edition to 150 copies) in a PVC sleeve with paper inner + MP3 Code.
MUSAR continues to explore the healthy landscape of underground and alternative
electronic music with the debut release on the label from Nightwave. ‘The Journey’
is a fitting title for the Glaswegian producer, DJ and promoter, who has been a
lynchpin for the city’s vibrant music scene since her first release in 2010. In the time
since, Nightwave has a developed a punchy and highly original sound that blends
potent influences of acid, techno and forward-thinking bass music, with releases on
DABJ, UTTU, Fool’s Gold, DEXT and her own imprint Heka Trax.
For her MUSAR debut, Nightwave celebrates, in her own words, “joy, dance,
exploring inner worlds, the celebration of nature and life and how it all
interconnects”. On a delicate tip, opening and title track ‘The Journey’ establishes
the EP’s “rainforest rave” aesthetic, spiralling upwards with weightless energy. It’s
underlying percussion steps forward on ‘Jiboia Groove’, which blossoms thrillingly
into wave upon wave of ethereal, breakbeat-led rave.

Toyko’s Hoshina Anniversary has risen to particular prominence in recent
years with his self-titled brand of ‘Wa- techno’. Stylistically fusing traditional
Japanese instrumentation with Chicago and Detroit sensibilities, his works
have found homes on ESP Institute, Young Marco’s Safe Trip and
Amsterdam-based MUSAR Recordings.
Landing on the latter, MUSAR, little over a year ago with ‘Zangai’ EP,
Hoshina returns under a new cloak, Shifting Gears, to present ‘Evil’ EP.
Named after the 1975 ‘Gears’ LP of jazz and hard bop organist, Johnny
Hammond, the Shifting Gears moniker focuses heavily on principles of Jazz
and raw musicianship, with a continued exploration of machine-reared club
sounds. How the two can take shape as one.

Ricardo Tobar - Parques
Genre: House / Techno
Releasing his first ever vinyl release ‘El Sunset’ on James Holden’s, Border Community back in
2007, Chilean producer Ricardo Tobar has since been held in high regard by the seminal UK
producer. Intricately constructing his way around the parameters of emotionally-lead, highly
atmospheric electronic music, Ricardo has brought his sound forward to grace the rosters of
Jennifer Cardini’s, Correspondant, ESP Institute and MUSAR Recordings. Continuing to
extend his already significant discography, he now returns to MUSAR Recordings for a third time
with the ‘After The Movie’ EP.
Ricardo’s ‘After The Movie’ EP forms a selection of cuts that have been held in his locker for quite
some time. Uncovered by MUSAR Recordings label head, Dweedo on a podcast from way back, it
seemed only natural that this unreleased music from Ricardo would find its home on the
Amsterdam-Tel-Aviv label.
“This EP is quite special to me because it reflects a long timeline in my work.
The ‘After The Movie’ track had been in the vault for ages until David from MUSAR found it
in an old podcast; it really takes me back to those first steps in recording music.”

in an old podcast; it really takes me back to those first steps in recording music.”

George Duke - I want you for myself (Theo Parrish Edit)
Following Chicago’s tradition in special edits and dj personal reworks to extend crucial parts and surprise the dancers, Theo Parrish has always sparkled his legendary sets with his own versions of classic and obscure disco, funk and soul cuts to maximum effect! Some of those were available to fans in mid 2000s via the Ugly Edits series, now it’s finally time for the LOVELY EDITS.
Officially licensed and using the original parts from the master tapes, here we have Theo’s takes on two absolute staples: BT EXPRESS ‘Peace Pipe’ and GEORGE DUKE ‘I Want You For Myself’.

DJ Koze - Pick Up (12" Extended Disco Version)
2
DJ Koze - The Love Truck
2025 repress
Tracklist
A. Pick Up (12" Extended Disco Version)
B. The Love Truck
DJ Koze might be one of the world's best producers, but above all he's a DJ, and it's his DJ ear that governs. Just as in a great set, so with his releases: "Seeing Aliens" came out of nowhere, a big buzzing beast of a track, to announce that Koze was back on the scene and prime everyone for the coming album, knock knock. But now that Koze has your attention, it's time to remind everyone what's most important about club music, pull things back, take a turn to the left, and get deep into the groove.
Thus "Pick Up": the second single from knock knock is 100% pure groove, doubly so in the extended 12" version. In a sense it's incredibly familiar - it is essentially a filter disco record, very close to something you could imagine coming out of Paris around the turn of the millennium. But of course, this is Koze. Nothing is normal or familiar in his world, and he's taken this most foundational of clubland staples into new territory. Flipping samples of Gladys Knight & the Pips "Neither One Of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)" and Melba Moore's "Pick Me Up, I'll Dance", it creates something completely airborne, shot through with emotions such as gods must feel: not quite explicable to the human mind but strong enough to knock you off your feet. In its way it's absolutely as powerful as "Seeing Aliens", but it comes in like the proverbial iron fist in a glove of velvet.
The flip, a ten-minute new track, "The Love Truck" is a big contrast again. If "Pick Up" is giddy flight, "The Love Truck" is woozy floating. Its sharp, clicking percussion recalls 2000s minimal techno, but this time absolutely nothing is generic. The long, intense, on-and-off bass tones, the flickers of birdsong, the pure voices slipping in backwards as if from the future... it's all like the most blissful dream, and culminates in a coda so subtle yet so beautiful it's like ever time you've ever seen the sun rise and thought "I never want this to end", all the while understanding deep down that the fleeting nature of the pleasure is also what give it its power. But of course, being created with that consummate DJ's ear, it's also full of the thrill of wondering what Koze has in store next.

Ilija Rudman - Danceteria (Manuel Darquart Remix)
MAD012 has arrived! or as we’ve been referring to it the ‘M.A.D Garage’ EP. (as in Paradise Garage)
After receiving Magari and Ilija Rudman’s tracks within a short time of each other it felt like a perfect fit to pair them together. Both productions give a nod to the 80s House sound whilst expertly bringing the aesthetic up to date.
Magari has provided us with an eyes closed dub’d out groover and Rudman supplies a winding and weaving synthesised journey, giving a sonic glimpse in to his fully stocked studio.
It’s always been top of our list to work with the inimitable Mark Seven. His music is a staple of our sets and as many of you know, is somewhat of guiding light of our scene. Any fan of Parkway Records knows it’s always an exciting day when they announce something new, needless to say we are proud to present a Parkway Powermix on M.A.D.
Finally, our good friend, the extremely versatile Producer/DJ Manuel Darquart finishes off the record with a sublime rolling take on ‘Danceteria’. If somehow you didn’t know him already consider yourself informed.

DJ Python - Elio's Lived Behind My House Forever
** club fire from DJ Python
“i was put on this earth”, his first solo music since 2022, and debut on XL Recordings.
On “i was put on this earth”, DJ Python - aka Brian Piñeyro - gently forays into uncharted territory as a singer, producer, and collaborator; an evolution all the more impressive in light of his groundbreaking musical projects to date like Mas Amble, Angel, and Club Sentimientos Vol 2. While splitting his time between New York and London, Python has teamed up with a diverse set of collaborators including South London rapper Jawnino, Honduran-born powerhouse Isabella Lovestory, unclassifiable songwriter Organ Tapes, and NYC mainstay Physical Therapy. Across the five-track EP, Python shares bold solo songs alongside these intriguing collaborations. The project retains the captivating melodies, atmospheric textures, and rhythmic innovation that defined Python's earlier recordings while building on and shaping these signature elements into ambitious and addictive new songs. The first look at the EP comes in the form of “Besos Robados”. Isabella Lovestory lends an insouciant yet insistent vocal to this sublime downtempo lovers' reggaeton track that's been a fan-favourite since appearing on Python's epic BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix.
On ‘i was put on this earth’, DJ Python says “to whom it may concern… its too beautiful to embrace change and to challenge urself to find something meaningful in it... i love my friends and love is deep :') i want them to know that always... but sometimes i get busy and overwhelmed n im not the best at saying how i feel always... just want to sit around and talk and feel understood together w someone who you like or u find interesting.. thats the best :) and if the day is nice or if the day is not nice but ur inside and its cozy.. thats too wicked. and ur making a soup and eating it together... just with the stuff in the kitchen.. dont even go out to get ingredients.. no need to follow a recipe.. cause ur grandma taught u to cook w the "sazon" (cooking by tasting w as u go on adding diff ingredients and spices.. no recipes. .. u can only really cook if u can freestyle in the kitchen she said).. and then u think about how ur grandma taught u that.. and your w someone in the kitchen making something together.. and then u taste it and it warms u up and ur like damn this is fire.. thats what this and i think maybe what "its all" about... thank u for taking time to read this and i hope you enjoy the album…kiss u…
Brian”

GENRE/S: Techno
Tracklist:
A1 / Eternity Land
A2 / Tubular Funk
A3 / Rousing Rhythms
B1 / Steampunk
B2 / Vapours
B3 / Teenagers From Outer Space
Short Info
Years of simmering mutual admiration between Turbo and Architectural finally erupt with Good Night, Whatever That Is, the Asturian producer's first release on the label.
Nothing gets us hot and bothered like the prospect of featuring a true artist on Turbo. In fact, we are so f-ing jazzed to be working with techno genius Architectural that we even dropped scrappy “fun-house” producer Archie Textures from our roster to avoid confusion.
The Good Night, Whatever That Is EP imbues the timeless platonic forms of techno with an energy, craft and depth that will feel instantly familiar to anyone who has built a cathedral with their bare hands. And yet the unadulterated power of lead single “Steampunk” and the even-less-adulterated power of “Tubular Funk,” confirm that this release also has one foot squarely planted on the secular dance floor, coursing with the searing bio-fluids that drive and torment all sexual beings. Meanwhile, your deep human need for contrast will be sated by the IDM-ambient euphorics of “Eternity Land” and the highbrow breaks of “Rousing Rhythms”.
In the interest of exposing this work to as many thought-hungry minds as possible, we will be randomly hiding 10,000 copies of the EP on CD-R in bottles of Drakkar Noir energy drink at participating supermarkets throughout the Americas and Eurasia. Our hope is that this marks the moment many of you finally become teachable, fully accepting that getting razor-like shards of CD-R lodged in your throat is simply the price of admission to the Idea Man’s Ball.
Key Selling Points
- Architectural debuts on Turbo Recordings with a 6 pack of pure gems.
- Timeless dub techno, for the dancers.

NO MORE - Suicide Commando

NO MORE - In A White Room
Format: 7" / 1000 copies, purple vinyl, additional stamp on label
Tracklist
A1: Suicide Commando
B1: In A White Room
File under: PostPunk / Wave
Release Info:
The year is 1981. The Kiel-based PostPunk / Wave underground outfit NO MORE releases their second ever single „Suicide Commando“ and their world changes forever. Well, not only their world – THE world.
What began as an independently published 7“ single became a cult classic, a genre defining – and defying – song, an all-time dancefloor favorite of many, a timeless signature piece that escaped its original realm of PostPunk x Wave x Indie x Alternative to also become engrained
in the DNA of modern electronic dancefloor culture most prominently in the beloved late 90s permutation presented by DJ Hell which became a classic in its own right.
Now the year is 2021. Four decades have passed and NO MORE's „Suicide Commando“ is back once again - well... the song actually never left! -, this time harking back to the very beginning, the original vibe and the original format.
Remastered and re-released with the original tracklisting and paying homage to the original artwork „Suicide Commando“ will be available in 7“ format for the first time since 1981.
And staying true to the underground blueprint this 40th anniversary re-release edition once again is put out on the circuit through a small independent label: the Intrauterin Recordings offspring El Caballo Semental which also released NO MORE's „123456789 *baze.djunkiii
& Herr Brandt Dream A NuDream Remix“ as a limited to 200 copies one-sided, colored whitelabel 7“ edition in 2019.

SHORT INFO:
Canadian deep house don Nick Holder's Fruit Loops EP is next to get the remaster and reissue treatment from Definitive Recordings. This label, now overseen by Get Physical Music, first released the EP back in 1995 when Toronto-based Holder had already become one of house music's most tasteful operators. He went on to release over 125 EPs and singles under countless aliases, in various groups, and on his labels DNH Records and Treehouse Records, as well as !K7 Records and NRK. His style spans house, disco loops and minimal Chicago grooves and is always high on immersive atmosphere. Opener 'Dance Dance Dance' brings together all those aspects of the Holder sound with its funky guitar riffs looping beneath raw drums and disco basslines. Classic Chic samples burst out of the mix to bring an air of celebration and party, and it makes for an irresistibly feel-good sound. 'Keep on Running' is a steamy and sweaty house jam with loopy drums and bass and more smartly chosen samples, this time from Roy Ayers, that bring the funk and never let up. It has long been a go-to anthem for house DJs, and the realness and rawness of the emotions in Holder's work also shine through with the filtered synths and jazzy keys of 'The Message of Love', which is complete with bumpy and irresistible drums. Last of all is the unfettered party spirit and diva vocals of the brilliantly lo-fi funk-house pumper that is 'Clap Ya Hands'. This EP hasn't aged one bit and remains a definitive piece of early Deep House history.

This label, now overseen by Get Physical Music, first released the EP back in 1995 when Toronto-based Holder had already become one of house music's most tasteful operators. He went on to release over 125 EPs and singles under countless aliases, in various groups, and on his labels DNH Records and Treehouse Records, as well as !K7 Records and NRK. His style spans house, disco loops and minimal Chicago grooves and is always high on immersive atmosphere. Opener 'Dance Dance Dance' brings together all those aspects of the Holder sound with its funky guitar riffs looping beneath raw drums and disco basslines. Classic Chic samples burst out of the mix to bring an air of celebration and party, and it makes for an irresistibly feel-good sound. 'Keep on Running' is a steamy and sweaty house jam with loopy drums and bass and more smartly chosen samples, this time from Roy Ayers, that bring the funk and never let up. It has long been a go-to anthem for house DJs, and the realness and rawness of the emotions in Holder's work also shine through with the filtered synths and jazzy keys of 'The Message of Love', which is complete with bumpy and irresistible drums. Last of all is the unfettered party spirit and diva vocals of the brilliantly lo-fi funk-house pumper that is 'Clap Ya Hands'. This EP hasn't aged one bit and remains a definitive piece of early Deep House history.

A milestone in electronic music, is finally receiving its well-deserved re-release: Liaisons Dangereuses’ legendary self-titled debut album still fascinates today, through its innovative sound and the mystery encompassing it. Since its release in 1981, it has become a classic in electronic music. The 10 electrifying songs produced by Chrislo Haas (DAF) and Beate Bartel (Mania D. / Matador) – reinforced by Krishna Goineau’s French and Spanish Speech-Attack-Lyrics – created a unique style. The album – anything other than a Berlin or Düsseldorf ‘thing’ – was propelled to an international favourite. Songs such as “Peut Être... Pas” and “Los Niños Del Parque” played a decisive role in the development of Detroit and Chicago’s house sound, as well as various forms of European techno.
