Original Info from 2012:

2012 marks the 10th anniversary of the labels first release "New Identity" with two new tracks pressed especially for you.  Lost in vaults until now "Panna Cotta" resurfaced in Marco Carola's recent sets off of a CD Mathew made for friends in 2003.  After multiple mails and YouTube links sent from Marco's fans it spurred Mathew to look into the old collections and find the masters.  The track was untitled so chances of finding it were at first thought to be slim.  As fate would have it though it would be the first out of hundreds of CD's only labeled "2003" that Mathew picked from the box in his search.  Here at IIWII we believe heavily in synchronicity.  These tracks have found there place in time to be released. To add to the occasion "New Identity" will also be released for the first time digitally for those that didn't get the vinyl years ago.

Tracklist
A1. Ambient Pressure Mix A2. dB’s Raw edit
B1. Konrad Black’s “Decompresha" Remix B2. Nathan Jonson’s Rewind to 96 Mix !
Short Info:
Mathew Jonson's “Decompression” was first released on Minus in 2004. To celebrate 13 years since it's release Mathew has commissioned 11 artists to remix this classic split over 4 releases. The first EP of the series features remixes from dBridge, Konrad Black and Nathan Jonson, each artists contribution provides a fresh approach to a package fuelled by the influence of Drum & Bass. dBridge steps up for two remixes, the first is warped and deconstructed, the second a high energy Drum & Bass belter. Konrad Black slows things down with a darker groove whilst Nathan Jonson's 'rewind to 96’ utilises rave tropes and chopped vocal samples. The package is a magnificent addition to the legacy of ‘Decompression’ and coming next will be remixes from Seth Troxler, Deadbeat, Mike Shannon and Natalia Escobar.

Mathew Jonson’s “Decompression” was first released on Minus in 2004.
This is the first release on Mathew Jonson’s new label entitled “Freedom Engine”

There are few artists at work in electronic music today with a sound as unmistakable as Mathew Jonson. The Vancouver producer has been steadily turning out some of the most inspiring electronic compositions of the past decade, beginning with his debut 12" for Canadian imprint Itiswhatitis Recordings in 2001, with a career taking in releases on Minus, Perlon and Kompakt - along with a steady output on the Wagon Repair label he co-founded in 2005, and numerous related side projects including Cobblestone Jazz, The Modern Deep Left Quartet and Midnight Operator (alongside his brother Nathan aka Hrdvision). Learning To Fly will be Jonson's second release on Minus, following 2004's Decompression EP - the release that truly launched him on the international stage and laid out a blueprint for his ever-evolving style, one that manages to consistently explore new territory whilst maintaining the aesthetic that makes his productions distinct from every other artist working today. Learning To Fly is arguably one of the most exciting singular works of Jonson's career, recalling his first Wagon Repair release: 2005's Marionette, a record that continues to inspire cultish devotion six years after its release and thoroughly deserves every adjective for 'hypnotic' and 'anthemic' that's ever been thrown at it. Learning To Fly retains those qualities whilst taking them yet further - a 12 minute sci-fi exploration that achieves that mark of classic electronic music production, working just as thrillingly for personal listening as it does when experienced as part of Jonson's transcendent live performances. Jonson himself considers Learning To Fly to be among the best compositions of his career, and brings it to Minus after years of waiting for the right track to follow the mighty Decompression. "For me this piece reflects clarity and harmony," explains Jonson. "Richie Hawtin is someone who has always inspired me to take my work to new levels, so it's fitting that Learning To Fly will be released on Minus”

Canada's Mathew Jonson has become one of the pre-eminent producers in electronic music today, creating some of the most influential tracks of the past few of years both as a solo artist and as a founding member of the peerless musical trio Cobblestone Jazz.This, his fifth solo release on his own label Wagon Repair, continues in the tradition of enterprise and experiment that we should expect from his Vancouver studio. This EP presents a series of firsts, with Mathew trying his hand at electro pop for the first time, arranging a track for the first time on computer, and it sees his uneffected voice feature for the first time on a track. Opener 'Stop' offers the first of the firsts. This dreamy electro pop odyssey is a half written, half improvised jam, recorded live whilst singing, playing the vocoder and mixing the track simultaneously. Synthesized rainfall descends on a squelched funk bassline, as free vocoded passages meander between phased percussion in a wondrously woven workout. B side 'Real Dreams' signals both the first time Mathew has arranged a track on a computer, and the first time his pure vocal has made it onto tape. A downtempo arrangement mixed live to stereo track, this murky and cathartic exploration was borne of realising things about a past relationship, as descending harmonised melodies pulse contemplatively to a defiantly progressive beat. The shift of the creative process from live, physical creation to reflective computer editing is significant, and fitting to the prevalent mood of evaluation and reassessment. In combining these elements with Mathew's unsynthetic vocal we present an intimate and explorative new dimension to his already enthralling repertoire.

underground darling Mathew Johnson with another extra-large three track stunner: right from the start swirling synth over a pinching beat suck you into a vortex before a rubbery bassline takes the lead and an electrical storm of dark, haunting sounds wrap you in. well, words don't do this truly symphonic oeuvre no justice - this has to be experienced in the dark and in earsplitting volume. on the flip MJ gives free reign to his unlimited creativity with an impressive soundtrack-style tableau of electronic jazz, sounding like late bass-revolutionary Jaco Pastorius descending form the outerworld to interveave some of his crazy warbled, bend notes into a messianic David Axelrod arrangement, mixed at Lee Scratch Perrys echo chamber. miles above your typical paint-by-numbers club fare - simply HUGE!

A: Ditch Pig B: Harry the Kase Man B2: Silent Samba
The Modern Deep Left Quartet is back. Well actually, it never really went away, but due to contractual obligations they had been releasing as Cobblestone Jazz the past few years. So it's high time that the projects are re-branded as originally intended, and this release marks that foray into quirky techno and mid-tempo goodness. On the A-side we have the synth stab orchestra known as Ditch Pig. It is direct and to the point, pushing onward and upward with a refined relentlessness. On the flip, we first find Harry the Käse Man, a mid-tempo slice of future funk. A chugging beat meets splashes of twanged out blips and quirky pads resulting in a welcome departure from the Quartet's normal direction. Rounding out the release on B2 is Silent Samba, a quirky and obtuse groove sprinkled with a little cheekiness and a touch of the abstract. It's a great representation of the odd free form jams the quartet loves to imbibe in

This past June the Modern Deep Left Quartet boys hunkered down for a month in Mathew's Berlin studio, producing a wealth of content for future consideration. While they focused mainly on the four-man project, this is the only Cobblestone Jazz track resulting from the session - made on the couple of days The Mole was away on a Sardinian retreat. In their classic form of Danuel on Fender Rhodes, Mathew on SH101 bass and Tyger Dhula on drums, this is another example of how the three piece sounds on stage, this time with a straight ahead samba house groove spread over two versions. The A side - BEFORE THIS has plenty of fiery rhodes and shuffled hats to compliment the congas, synth and snaking bassline, while on the flip we find BEFORE THAT, which is decidedly more subdued and relaxed, with a mellower rhodes pass and stripped down drums.

COLOURED VINYL
BOMB ALERT! Hrdvsion's "Prettier Than That" is a monster, created by a monster and is perfectly suited for the likes of Wagon Repair. Dim the lights, because when this record drops it's going to get freaky!

On the flip side, Midnight Operator (the duo of Mathew Jonson and Hrdvsion) bring the noise! "Dangerous Behaviour" rains bass in your face! If you caught their live show on Boiler Room recently then you'll understand. These two are ready to take the dance floors by storm this year - a melding of the analog and digital minds.

The third installment in the Cobblestone Jazz 12" series brings two more tracks.
On the A side we find "Who's Future?". Full of bubbling elastic bass and deep chord swells, it's a laidback affair with a snappy groove to push it along. On the flip is "Across the Nation", a stripped out and up-tempo electro jam with crisp breaks and gated pads. All the elements mingle together to create a thick bed of future funk. Another wheel for your wagon.

Cobblestone Jazz are back after the highly successful Memories EP with their second installment in the series. On the A side, we find the spaced-out zero-gravity jam Lunar Lander - its sparse and jittery beats complimented by some sweet key stabs and a thick and burly analogue bassline. Flip it over for Your Life (You're Life) - an uptempo slugfest of crunchy beats and a driving bassline that won't quit. As always, both tunes were recorded live in studio and have been culled and edited for your mixing pleasure (A side duties performed by tyger dhula while the flip was done by danuel tate). Stay tuned for the next installment, and, until then, enjoy! Lunar Lander is available on vinyl via Wagon Repair and on digital via !K7.

Canada's Cobblestone Jazz have established themselves as one of the most unique and inspiring bands of the past decade. Thanks to their exploration of house through the eyes of a jazz improv group, their music is derived from the organic energy of the group's jam sessions and their now legendary live performances. Comprised of members Tyger Dhula, Mathew Jonson, Danuel Tate along with newest addition The Mole, Cobblestone Jazz are as accomplished individually as musicians and performers as they are a band - united by long term friendship, respect and passion for writing music in the moment. Their decade long history of releases on IsWhatItIs, !K7 and Wagon Repair have earned the praise and long time support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Carl Craig, Luciano and Sven Väth. "Memories (From Where We Are)" celebrates the first of a series of 12" releases that will come out on Wagon Repair over the course of 2011/12. The outcome of a Berlin jam session last fall, the band incorporated a Fender Rhodes, vocoder, and SH-101 to make up the core voicing of the tracks while a CS-20 provides the drive at the end of both. In typical Cobblestone Jazz fashion, the track was mixed live with no prior sequencing arrangement. The session was then cut by The Mole into two sublime edits - the results could be their strongest release since "Dump Truck".

"'Where did you just go?' is something my girlfriend often says to me when she's talking to me and I kind of drift off. I'll be talking to her then just stop all of a sudden. I think the title reflects me and my music well; there's this idea of going in one direction then suddenly pausing to dream about a completely different place..." The debut album from Hrdvsion, aka Nathan Jonson, takes the listener to a variety places, at least some of which will doubtless be new to many ears. A non-compromising creator of glitch-heavy electronic music for the last decade or so, Hrdvsion has finally matched his esoteric vision to the more formal structures of house, techno and electro/breakbeat. "I did it to make the girls dance!" he laughs. "Actually it's a kind of bridging point. The production, the way it's mixed, is similar to my older stuff as I've always liked loud and punchy music. In general this album is a bit subtler. I focused on letting ideas evolve more slowly and let the grooves go on for longer. I realised I liked making techno! But it's still fairly challenging I think." Jonson's prior releases on labels like Itiswhatitis and the upcoming Wagon Repair (run by his brother, Cobblestone Jazz's Mathew Jonson) are known for their scattered Squarepusher-esque energy, their bleep-drenched melodies and sense of twisted urgency. Where did you just go? retains these circuit-busting tendencies yet aims more directly for the dancefloor. Opening track "842 Colours" blends off kilter beats with Hrdvsion's trademark skittish sounds, while cuts like "Captivated Heart", "City Girls", "Closed Eyes" and "Making It Home" cultivate and simultaneously subvert 'traditional' house and breakbeat riddims via buzzing synths and serrated melodies. The deep and resonant "Cause I Love You" (influenced by the DJ sets of his friends and fellow Berlin residents Dirt Crew) are, he admits, among the "softest I've ever written". "I think I'm coming to terms with the fact I don't have to fight against everyone," he says. "Four years ago, I would never have released something like this. I would have felt like I was doing it for someone else and that would have bothered me a lot. But now I can see it's still all done for me even if it doesn't sound like it. I've allowed myself to be more indulgent and ditch some of the anti-social sentiment apparent in older material..."Don't go thinking this is a predictable techno album though. Plenty of songs hark back to his earlier, more chaotic work. "Betrayed,""Bonker Brainss," "Kiss Yesterday Goodbye" and "Claustraneonia" are wild-eyed forays into acid-addled glitchtronica, replete with distended diodes and screaming capacitors. Nathan ends the album with a couple of nostalgic visits to his ambient days, namely "Amsterdam at 457" and the lush closer "I Wish I Could Directly Affect". Where did you just go? was started when Hrdvsion moved to Berlin in 2009. During a period of insecurity borne of being broke in an alien city, he opened up his laptop and sorted through hundreds of finished and half-finished songs, creating what were ostensibly remixes of the originals. "It was like this collaboration between the old me and the new me," he laughs. More or less by definition, Where did you just go? represents a brand new era for Hrdvsion and his unique sound.

''Be At Risk'' was created at Tracknotic Studios located somewhere in the beautiful and magical hills of ibiza. It was recorded and produced by Bea Tricks and Beatmaster G (producer/beatboxer) using state of the art class A equipment and a whole lot of good vibes. Wide range of influences can be heard when listening to 'Be at Risk'... such as; electro pop, punk rock, hip hop, old school, 90's techno ... 'We wanted to create an innovative record where all our influences would bepresent and that would go deep into the roots of our musical tastes... from records that we used to love as kids, to the tracks that really get us going on the dance floor. There's also a mystical side to the project, that we thought was relevant to the current situation where there's a whole lot of talk about 'the end of the world' and so on... when you hear tracks such as 'el mensaje' you will be able to decipher our positive outlook on this topic, but also our beliefs in the knowledge transmitted by lost civilizations and the fact that we believe in a renewal process and not an 'end'. We created a character that travels through dimensions to awaken civilizations to the fact that they must be brave and use their supernatural abilities to transition to the next phase....just how us 'humans' should do'' Marta Nael's artwork for the record reflects the arrival of the dimensional traveler to a fictional world where it's inhabitants will interact with him and show him a good time (melting dancing) and their fears (pipistrello) to their non-conformism (contravention)... 'Its up to the listener to interpret the record in their own way, and we just hope that you will have as much fun listening to it as we had making it!'

It has been five years since my last solo Mr.C EP, having focused my song writing attention during this time on working with my production partner, Adultnapper, on our Sycophant Slag's projects. As Mr.C, I wanted to make three tracks that really reflect where I'm at these days as a DJ. As always, this meant working in minor chords to get the depth I desire in my music. In the 22 years that I've been making house & techno music, I've always used an engineer, that is until now, so this project was also about me learning to use Logic & working alone. The EP has therefore taken me the best part of 8 months to make, working on these tracks in many short sessions, which has served the dual purpose of learning to work alone & making an EP that I can be proud of.I started with Waxing (working title Waxing Moon) & wanted to go for that deep after hours vibe. It had to be spaced out yet soulful, warm & rich, so with the tempo set at 122bpm, I started with a simple rhythm & then started layering deep chords & bass line with spaced out tones. The track soon took on a life of its own and directed me into making what you hear now. I've always written in this way and I'm a firm believer that the best tracks really do write themselves. On completion of Waxing, I kept hearing lush strings, pads & beautiful melodies on the track, which are a signature of the Mr.C productions, comparable to my only solo album, Change on End Recordings. So when I started working on Full Moon, I had the idea that this was to be an EP of three versions of the same track but all with very different purposes as DJ tools, rather than three completely different tracks. With Full Moon, I slightly changed the chord structure of the bass line to make it sit more comfortably with the pads, stabs & melodies I was hearing and am delighted with the final results of this version - a beautiful last track of the night or sunrise piece. So now I had two deep, beautiful, extremely different versions of the same track but there was nothing really for the main dance floor. This is where Dark Moon comes in. I pitched up the tempo to 126bpm, lost all of the deep chords, pads & melodies but kept the spaced out aspect of the original & then proceeded to make the tune dance with a pumping bass line, techy bleeps & some nice dark pads. The track had to be something that I would play in the middle of a Mr.C set, so it had to have edge & be haunting. Delighted with the results, the Lunar EP was complete.
The making of this EP was a lot of fun for me as well as a great learning process. I hope you enjoy the music. Mr.C

Wagon Repair is pleased to welcome Exercise One to our roster, with their newest EP - Several Things at Once. This four track EP, with a bonus digital only track, is sure to please.
Title track, Several Things at Once, is the result of Marco and Ingo playing around with some new gear purchased to enhance their live act. In fact, this track was explicitly meant to be an addition to their live shows as it was produced using their exact on-stage setup. By laying out a groovy foundation and letting the machines do their thing, this intentionally rough and dirty sound is able to be accessible and seducing at the same time. The A2 track, Breeze, was inspired by windchimes on Marco's balcony, which were recorded with a mic and mixed with melodies and reverbed kicks coming from the back ground, resulting in an almost early era Aphex Twins ambient feel. Although the second tracks on both sides were originally planned to be really loud and noisy, both tracks came out on the opposite side of the spectrum as inspiration took hold. B1, Colony, is a subtle track that seems to accumulate power by winding itself into the mind and body of the listener. Whenever this one is played in front of a crowd it always has a great impact as its psychedelic and focused elements mix to great effect. As with the digital only bonus track, Twin, a trippy feeling lurks around with a kind of 'submarine' atmosphere. Both Twin and Colony have been a part of Exercise One's live-set for some time now as they are one form of techno that the boys just love to play as it gives them the variety that they have always craved. The closer on the EP, Prowl, is more of an tensioned atmosphere than a track. Prowl is mainly based on sound-shifiting and old samples that are intended to transmit the mood of a predator in search of its prey.The digital only track, Twin, has a chunky, upfront bassline for a foundation, which drags you into the track like a strong under current. Little sets of percussions and delayed chords fly through the track to keep the mind focused while the body is already hooked to the groove. Pretty in your face and trancey, but just so much fun to play!

Following up on her unanimously acclaimed third album ' May Be Later' (Vakant), Chilean artist and Berlin transplant Alejandra Iglesias conceived 'Anemik' entirely for the Wagon Repair label after being approached by label head Mathew Jonson. A musing on femininity and the fine line between romance and delirium, 'Anemik' transcends borders in its range of influence and reflects consciousness in the fluidity and tangibly live origins of its creation. Recorded using analog equipment and acoustic instruments with a strong emphasis on voice, there is a wisdom and maturity to this work that suggests an artist in the prime of her life. Opener 'Childish' builds from meditative beginnings with looped synth, wandering pads and wildfire percussive cycles that concoct a deep and dreamy landscape. 'Romaniks' creates space between electronic and acoustic spheres with Latin soaked beats encircling a subdued kick. Mantric vocal chants inject a mystical dimension to the affair, its psychedelic overtones continuing into 'Westoid', where Dinky's vocal lament is complimented by the baritone accents of Los Updates enigmatic Jorge Gonzales. 'Gold Fishes' bubbles into being with processed choral scales, while 'Rain Fallic' is a mid tempo trip of lazy legato harmonies and epic Telecaster drones. Title track 'Anemik' is a restless electronic frenzy, with melodic and percussive elements feuding amidst staccato vocals, effervescent machine transmissions and a penetrating central kick. 'Glacial' opens with an aquatic brew of reverberant vocals and deep percussion that swims through murky pads and delayed keys to close. 'Ceramik' weaves a tight beat, with warm Rhodes accompaniment, live percussion and ramped vocal passages concocting a mesmeric floor worker for the early hours. A perfect example of the fluid, jam infused
tone of the album as a whole. Thumbed melodic patterns and sonorous key stabs characterize 'Glassic', while 'Skyped' intertwines grandiose processed chorals, deep metallic percussion and leveling pads in a hypnotic malaise of storm and sweat. The infectious arpeggiated melodies of 'Epilepsia' are invigorated by live Latin percussion and intermittently cooled by warm pad progressions in a contemplative ascent to close. 'Fadik' grips as a wonky love song set to cascading beats, strummed guitar and electronic emissions, while closing track 'Nocturnal' unsettles with moribund ambient shivers to complete the kaleidoscopic range of flavors and emotions offered by this most remarkable of records. At times dreamy, at times nightmarish, at times romantic, at times befuddled, 'Anemik' is always quintessentially Dinky.

Cobblestone Jazz founding member Danuel Tate is back on the solo tip with his newest project for Wagon Repair - WAG055 'Doesn't Like You Back EP' - and this time, probably as a result of spending so much time on the road with bandmates Mathew Jonson and Tyger Dhula, he's bringing it harder. Although some familiar elements from his first EP, 'Pushcard', can be found in the horns and synths mixing together to form the beds for the quirky vocoder, this five-track release comes more direct.'Doesn't Like You Back' reflects the moment on the dance floor when you realize the woman next to you is way out of your league, which we guess isn't a bad feeling as long as you like dancing with super hot women.

Exciting times at Wagon Repair as London duo Dollz at Play release their debut EP after 5 years of taming dance ?oors throughout Europe and the world. London transplants Xochitl and Bea, originally from Mexico and Spain respectively, have been tipped for great things. 'Oscura Wand in Paris' is a mid pace bass driven minimal electro strut, equally suited for the Miami sun or Berlin dawn. Sleek and deep, spoken words punctuate a tight percussive ascension into a synth hook that ties together a broad mix of resonant tone and psychotropic modulated vocals. 'Oscura Wand in Paris (Danny Boy Dub)' is a subtler beast, pacing elements into an ethereal and meditative ambient journey. Intermittent vocal emissions and soaring tones colour a bubbling percussive loop in a contemplative downbeat mix.
'Oscura Wand In Paris (Mr.C Remix)' sees Dollz at Play manager and Superfreq head honcho Mr. C providing the ?nal mix, a deep and engrossing techno trip founded on swelling synth, bouncing
bass and epic melodic elements that launch the track above and beyond its earthly origins.

Wagon Repair's first release past the 50 benchmark offers a look at long time partner Hrdvsion's latest works of chopped melody and effervescent invention. Opener 'The Mohana' explores a central chord progression with intermittent squeaked melodic static, reverberant pad echoes and crisp swinging percussion. A pragmatic animal, dueling hook lines dance, transform and compete for attention between pounded kick and hat in one of Hrdvsion's most floor ready tracks to date. B side ' Sliding Into Air (Edit)' takes matters ten clicks deeper as soaked pads loom forebodingly over lively harmonic sparks. An exercise in volume and dynamics, melodic holes are punched through a compressed mix, their impact adding profound rhythm to the already infectious percussive motor. Epic and uncompromising, 'Sliding Into Air' is a violently graphic alternative to its meeker techno cousins. 'Sliding Into Air (Live)' , which will only be available in digital format, offers a different shade to its aggressive original, with melodic and percussive variations adding definition to the tracks monolithic pads and mix meddling dynamics.

Wagon Repair are excited to announce the latest EP from Berlin based Canadian Mike Shannon.
The Re-Nag EP, his third Wagon Repair release and first production of 2009, is the latest in a long line of releases from the head of Cynosure Records, with his work having previously graced imprints from ~Scape and Num to Richie Hawtin's Plus 8 Records. Opener 'Darkstar 3000' is a futurist techno stomp. Engined by poked melodic tones and a prominent metallic hat, dissonant stealth melodies manoeuvre around percussion and punched bass. Biding time to prolong suspense, both bass and key melodic journeys coordinate to climax in a tightly executed sensory assault. 'Sweets (TLA Mix)' opens energetically with static percussive tones circling around a pummeling kick. A rapturous vocal takes lead, effervescing within a wind tunnel of wobbly bass melodies and dizzy pads to close. 'Sweets (Acapella)' is an abstract entity, with it's sole vocal discernibly haunting in the absence of beats and structure. Full of texture and space, this is one for the producers that will surely not go to waste.

Part of a new breed of Detroit techno, we are delighted to announce Ryan Crosson's debut Wagon Repair EP. Having already released on Trapez, Telegraph and M_nus under his alias Berg Nixon, Ryan's floor friendly live sets and shuffled percussive styles are getting many excited, with due cause. A side 'Confiteria Del Molino' is a bassy and deep bomb. Introducing itself with eerie warped vocals and strutting beats, dynamic melodic tones hover above a subtle synth progression. Enlivened by stabbed horn samples, percussion and booming bass is key to this track's heavyweight strength. B1 'Sunshine Wave' is slightly lighter, opening with a bouncing melody and chattering percussion. A huge bass sound opens things up, accented by needling synth and fueled by a classic prodding techno kick. To close, 'Use Me Up' bubbles with melodic tone and stuttering crackled samples. Subtly progressing to a simple beat and rumbling bass, distorted vocal arrangements haunt the mix as flighty pads howl in the distance.

Hrdvsion's second Wagon Repair release this year is an absolute epic. Combining his signature fervid IDM style with a patient developmental sensibility commonly associated with his brother Mathew, Canadian Nathan Jonson offers two new tracks as accomplished and mature as anything he has produced to date. Opener 'Love's Duel (The Seduction Business)' is a slowly approaching storm, weaving melodies from disparate melodic tones and waves of rhythmic synth. Stuttering percussive blasts and a phased bass pulse steady the voyage as static jolts of lightning synth battle for control of the mix. Purposeful and enterprising, this eleven minute sonic saga is a trip worth taking. On the flip, 'Melting Fire' is an industrious IDM production with a percussive line reminiscent of 'dirty south' hip hop's rattling hi-hat patterns. Stabbed intermittant synth lines interact with chimed metallic tones in a mechanised melodic drive.'Melting Fire (Inkwell Remix)' closes proceedings, with Canadian duo Inkwell (Danksoul Recordings) transforming the original into a bass heavy floor pleaser. Charged by piston like percussion and wispy melodic synth, the bulging bassline offers warm respite from the original's cold precision.

We are thrilled to announce Hrdvsion's third Wagon Repair release, the irrepressible 'Playing For Keeps' A native of Victoria, Canada, Nathan Jonson's obsession with morphing sounds and
musical hardware continues to be the main inspiration for his musical explorations. Taking influence from the unrestrained creativity of luminaries such as Squarepusher and Aphex Twin, Hrdvsion's disjointed compositions stand in stark contrast to the more fluid output of his brother, Mathew. Ever adventurous, Nathan has spent 10 years releasing on labels as diverse as Itiswhatitis, Subpop, Traum and Plak. Musical experimentation with a focus on destroying sounds through hardware and software is within Hrdvsion part of his life. Opener 'Playing For Keeps' is an exhilarating trip, centered around a swinging
mapped by crunching beats. Chopped and skewed, pulsing electro house melodies fight for attention with sampled cuts of big band, tiring to a slow and heavy halt before picking
themselves up and punching it out to close. 'Playing for Daddy's Girl' is an equally agitated reprise, introducing distorted 8-bit melodic tones and a throbbing deep bass into the fray as a sampled audience cheers on the ensuing battle for the listeners attention. On the B side, The Mole transforms 'Playing For Keeps' into a driving house number, with subtly escalating melodic synth growing into a deep and hypnotic dark electro sweat fest.

Release Notes:
It’s rare that a certain sound is entirely an artist’s own. Although undeniably a stew of impeccable influences – from blues to folk to Latin to dusty funk, soul and hip-hop – one cannot hear a Tommy Guerrero song without immediately recognising it as his - and his only.
The cult skater from San Francisco is globally renowned as one of the original members of the legendary “Bones Brigade” team. And as an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, his laid-back soul is beloved by all who’ve basked in its blissful glow.
There’s something elemental about this music that really stirs the soul. Strikingly beautiful and instantly addictive, it’s a kind of funk-fuelled, melody-driven, groove-based magic. There’s a serenity and heart in the playing that radiates warmth and splendour, as if crafted for endless sunsets. His albums that surfaced on Mo Wax at the turn of the century have been treasured since their release and it’s two of his most vital LPs that we’re honoured to reintroduce.
The originals were quietly pressed on to a single piece of vinyl so we’ve worked closely with Tommy this year to bring you these fresh, limited editions. They have been lovingly remastered, cut nice and loud on to heavyweight double vinyl and presented in deluxe gatefold jackets.
Soul Food Taqueria continued Guerrero’s guitar soul but represented a step forward with its polished production and greater complexity of instrumentation. Denied the promotion it deserved upon release, it flew under the radar. It is now the most wanted record of his wondrous back catalogue.
Guerrero’s atmospheric touch and subtle guitar provide lush, glimmering pieces of musical texture. Within his spacious compositions, uniquely arranged instruments flourish alongside each other to create a languid soundtrack for halcyon days.
As ever, the diversity on display is beguiling. From bossa nova, samba and cumbia rhythms to understated folk, funk and soul grooves, this is another exotic set of mellow gold; perfectly represented by ESPO’s memorable artwork. Furthermore, the title’s hybridity reflects the intoxicating sweep of stylistic flavours served up, reminding us that, however tricky it is to categorise Guerrero’s special blend, it’s always a pleasure to indulge in something so creative and adventurous.
Dubby, bass-heavy instrumentals give way to moody folk-soul – witness “It Gets Heavy”, featuring melancholic vocals from Gresham Taylor – whilst “Thank You MK” is a gentle ode to the tropics, featuring ethereal instrumentation, bright bass and warm, jazzy guitars. The second half in particular contains a number of stunning ambient tracks – check “Lost Unfound”, “Another Brother Gone” and “Broken Blood” - built around minimalist, laid-back grooves and detailed guitar orchestrations which wouldn’t be out of place on the latest Jonny Nash release.
Guerrero closes this flawless set with a moment of true beauty. Restrained and graceful, “Falling Awake” is a pared back piece containing meditative guitar melodies set against melancholic piano arrangements. It brings proceedings to the most peaceful close. Seductively good, it reminds you just how great simplicity can sound.

LP, 180g + Downloadcode + Extra Sticker inside.

Munich quintet Fazer are set to release their second album 'Nadi' on 12th April 2019. 'Nadi' follows the underground success of their self-released debut 'Mara', which quickly sold out on vinyl and became one of the most streamed jazz records of the year.

Short Info:
Munich quintet Fazer are set to release their second album 'Nadi' on 12th April 2019. 'Nadi' follows the underground success of their self-released debut 'Mara', which quickly sold out on vinyl and became one of the most streamed jazz records of the year. Moving freely between composition and improvisation, the band's spacious, organic sound pitches lyrical melodies from guitar and trumpet over double-drummer polyrhythmic grooves and dub-like basslines.
The album title 'Nadi' references a term rooted in traditional Indian medicine. Nadis are channels that connect points of intensity within the body. This reflects the band's feeling while playing of moving as one body. Contrary to the creation of the group's debut album 'Mara', both the writing and recording sessions for 'Nadi' were completed in relatively short periods of time.

MARA is the debutalbum of Munich-based jazz group FAZER.
Short Info:
MARA is the debutalbum of Munich-based jazz group FAZER. The young musicians combine African and Latin rhythms with dubby basslines and melancholic melodies. The unusual lineup with two drummers (Simon Popp, Sebastian Wolfgruber), bass (Martin Brugger), guitar (Paul Brändle) and trumpet (Matthias Lindermayr) leaves an open space for unfettered improvisation. Through the concept of repetition and finely measured dynamics, Fazer create a drawing energy that can be felt directly at their live shows and has been captured perfecty on this record.

2x12"
Wareika invite us to their „Harmonie Park“, a place created by the love of improvisation. At the park, poles have shifted already! Florian Schirmacher, Jakob Seidensticker and Henrik Raabe, all full-time musicians, tuned their instruments to introduce us to this parallel universe. It.s about the various possible perceptions of one single moment. Loops and sequences, subjected to virtual tempo changes, without leaving the Bpm scale. In the park, everything is always in the flow. Jazz / Techno / Funk / House, all elements that appear / dissapear throughout the composition. Wareika manage to bring all this together effortlessly, without even thinking in those categories. The deeper you get into the park, the more you get absorbed by the dynamics of interlaced, polyrhythmic modulations. Luckily the groove acts like the park ranger, showing you around while
taking care no one gets lost in hypnotic structures waiting on the way. At the end, this pulsating soundcluster leads into the great river named bassline, leaving us quite harmonized..... !! This release comes in a special format !! We made „Harmonie Park“ available in 4 parts on 2x12“ Vinyl.

Tracklist 12":
A1 – Abstraxion - Wholes
A2 - Abstraxion - Gold
B1 - Abstraxion - Force
B2 - Abstraxion – Trance Body Music

Short Info:
Abstraxion once again delivers another twist to his exotic musical tale with "Trance Body Music". A four track collection
of 90’s-infused club rockets. Hi-NRG sounds that traverse the trance-techno-rave intersection.
Lead single ‘Whole’ is a distorted and relentless number that hammers along with skewed vocal chops and lashings of
bounce. ‘Gold’ however, is a more pushy heads-down affair. It's ramped BPM and vocals muster dewy-eyed Bonzaimemories, whilst harnessing the free spirit of the resurging eurodance movement.
Next out of the rave cannon comes ‘Force’, with its fierce tempo, jittering synth stabs and playful melody working
together to create a tidy dancefloor moment. The show is brought to a close with the bubbling title track Trance Body
Music. A perfect, almost soothing, finale to a wonderfully energetic adventure.

RELEASE INFO:
In April 2023, Tresor Records will unveil a new EP from DALO entitled "GUM". DALO, aka Nadia D'Alo, is one of the founders of the
R.i.O label and half of the duo INIT. After several years of performing as INIT with Benedikt Frey, she had her solo live debut in
Berlin in 2022. This record follows releases on labels such as ESP Institute and Warning. "GUM" showcases DALO's expert
mastery of rising tension through analogue sound sources, as it swings in and remains with minimal changes and accentuation.
"Woodpecker" enters a tunnel of reverberant claps, moving in a potent exercise of deftly manipulated acid. "Wavehall" draws
vocal smears across expansive, droning basses and 140bpm techno rhythms. In "Bachlash", she takes inspiration from events
of Iranian and Afghan women revolting for their rights, expressing hope for the rebound of control after long political oppression. Electro beats are introduced underneath the full-frontal melodic acid, while processed spoken word samples bring a new
focus.
DALO takes the rebounding control and strives forward into the unknown with "GUM", its segmented vocal samples playing a
captivating partnership with acidic slides. The EP closes with "Pilot," a digital bonus track that releases some of the tension
built up throughout and propels the dancer towards transcendent shapes.
