Mathew Jonson, - Return Of The Zombie Bikers
2019 Repress. Brown kraftpak sleeve
stunning second 12" single on his new label´is finally coming folks. what a name for this pretty incredible 2 tracker!! "Return of the Zombie Bikers" is a massive spine shiveringly intense almost dnb b lined big room track recorded in early 2005 and can easily be compared to Mat´s strongest moments including "decompression" on minus. Don't get us wrong though, this track doesn´t necessarily need the comparison,it easily stands out by far.let it work on and let it touch you, we feel it´s probably one of the strongest records MJ ever did!! "Put your booty shorts on" is yet another a side track written in 2002 dedicated to his wife Frank and remixed with including a vocal in 2005. A unique taste of what is to come in future live sets at the festivals this summer.this is the "hi end" in micro house coming.

Mathew Jonson - Just a Little Bit
Innovative multi-instrumentalist and electronic luminary Mathew Jonson returns to Crosstown Rebels with ‘Tako Tako’. The Canadian synth wizard returns to Damian Lazarus' renowned imprint with two magical and absorbing new productions, with the most excellent two-tracker. Mathew Jonson has developed one of the most distinctive voices in electronic dance music. His take on house and techno is rich in synth craft and high on captivating emotions, all shaped by his notoriously extensive collection of analogue and hardware gear that he can play, manipulate and use like few others. An electronic mastermind renowned for releasing countless seminal tracks and albums, both solo and as a member of Cobblestone Jazz, he returns to a label that has been a constant throughout his career. With his ‘Tako Tako’ EP, he offers two more superb journeys on Crosstown Rebels. The fantastic ‘Tako Tako’ kicks off with Jonson’s signature mix of elegant and refined synth craft, with dancing melodies bringing futuristic energy and neon colour to crunchy beats. They are smeared and smudged in a painterly fashion and help make this production a pulsating dancefloor thrill. Equally standout is ‘Just a Little Bit’, powered by a jostling broken beat with a warm bassline and wordless vocals sampled throughout. It’s funky, kinetic, always on the move, and rounds out another one of Jonson’s fantastically inventive yet effective EPs.

Mathew Jonson, - Passage to the Other Side
2020 Re Edition, Recut from Original Tapes + Master
Tracklist
1 Panna Cotta 9:13
2 Passage To The Other Side 11:29
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.

A true techno auteur, Mathew Jonson earlier this year released his second solo album, ?Her Blurry Pictures? on Crosstown Rebels, encompassing a new evolution in his rhythmically complex and timeless approach over eight fluid and rich composition. Now soon to drop is a package of unmissable ?Blurry Remixes? featuring a trio of first class reworks by Dixon¨ Tale Of Us and Akufen Innervisions boss and Berlin luminary Dixon turns in a storming reimagining of the atmospheric, electronic matrix of ?Level 7? where straight talking techno does the driving as layers build, get stripped back then steered onto a more melodic path underpinned by a rumbling deep bassline. Next up, the unstoppable duo Tale Of Us transport one of the more playful ?Blurry? cuts ?Kissing Your Eyes? into a brooding dubby sound bed of live sounding drums combined with rippling echoing synth melodies. Berlin based Carmine and Matteo aka Tale Of Us, first rose to prominence on the Visionquest imprint in 2011 and have since released on Life And Death and M_nus. Glitchy tech meets raw rolling drum beats in Akufen?s ?Body In Motion? remix. As hypnotic, as you would expect from the Canadian mastermind, Akufen lures you into a trance and keeps you guessing, progressing from dextrous minimal textures to full on fluid jazzy piano interpretations.

Mathew Jonson, - Automaton
2
Mathew Jonson, - In the Stars
Honorary Rebel Mathew Jonson will soon be unleashing his long awaited third artist album on Crosstown Rebels but first a slice of the Canadian minimal house pioneer’s inimitable style with two tracks of distinct tonal contrast both with the unique stamp of a Jonson production. Killer A-side ‘Automaton’ is a powerful trip with a solid yet nuanced drive, intricate tribal beats with an almost syncopated African influence combined with gnarled bass sequences in a never-ending groove. B-side ‘In The Stars’ enters a more abstract realm, with celestial synth melodies melting into a sound bed of futuristic bleeps and a soporific groove of percussion and a heavy bass beat. In the breaks, vague jazzy chords fuse with an echoing voice descending from space.

Mathew Jonson, - Dayz
Crosstown Rebels iconic catalogue knows no bounds and without relenting for a moment, the label now bestows the next masterful creation from none other than Mathew Jonson. ?Dayz? is a beguiling trip through groovy textured electronic pastures, a simply stunning release, and great addition to Mathew?s armory! A-side ?Dayz? is classic Jonson. Meandering, modulated synth lines build into an epic electronic orchestra of warm fuzzy strings and ambient melody all padded with an intricate carpeting of shimmering percussion and molten bleeps. Intricate digressions keep the listener rapt but for all the complexity of ?Dayz?, Jonson creates a theme that is beautifully simple. It?s impossible not to be swept away on his sonic wave. B-Side ?Cold Blooded? has a stomping bass beat and funk strutting bassline punching through the spacey sequencing and swirling synth strokes. Resounding sub-bass darkens the mood, engulfing the backdrop of rhythmic drumming; this is real heads down warehouse gea that will hypnotise the crowd . Mathew Jonson needs little introduction. A legend with one of the most distinctive voices in the industry, whose made forays into jazz, house, fusion, techno and all aspects of electronic music, the Canadian born, Berlin based producer epitomizes refined musicianship, stylistic innovation and artistry. Co-founding the Wagon Repair label and participating in the Modern Deep Left Quartet and Cobblestone Jazz, Jonson is responsible for some game-changing tracks including ?Marionette?, ?Typerope? and most recently, the revered ?Learning To Fly? on m_nus. Jonson is still proving he?s in a class of his own.

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”

Mathew Jonson, - Real Dreams
2
Mathew Jonson, - Stop
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.

Mathew Jonson, - The Girl From LBC
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

Cobblestone Jazz, - Before This
UPC 827170479562 REL DATE 10.12.2012
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.

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.

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 Info
Across two mammoth, critically acclaimed compilations Berlin-based Musician and DJ Curses' Next Wave Acid Punx series has shone a blacklight onto the darker side of club music. Featuring tracks from the 1970s right up to the present day made by both musical legends and up and coming talents alike, Curses has expertly threaded the needle between Experimental Pop, Post Punk, EBM, Electro, Techno and more to produce a stunning alternative history of clubland.
But, as every good digger knows, there's always more gems to uncover and so once again Curses has crowbarred open the electronic music's vaults to bring us four more long forgotten tracks, each one "Revamped" for maximum Dancefloor effect with Curses himself providing 2 edits alongside precision tooled reworks from Melbourne based Stockholm Syndrome and NYC's Andi.
First up from Curses is his Revamp of Deborah Sasson's (Carmen) Danger In Her Eyes, a curio from the wildly inventive mid late 80s that saw the American opera singer collaborate with German producers MCL (MicroChipLeague). A European chart topper on its original release, it's long since languished in obscurity but in Curses' hands is now ready to once again add more than a touch of melodrama to dancefloors.
For his second edit, Curses reworks J.W.B. Hits The Beat's House Fatale, having previously taken a razor to their Body On Body track on Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX. Originally released in 1988, House Fatale is a classic example of just how fast electronic music was evolving back then, bringing together elementsof Electro, Freestyle, House and more amongst a riot of samples, all elements Curses retains whilst nudging the tempo and giving the track a harder edge.
Sticking with the same Westside label that gave us House Fatale, Stockholm Syndrome turns his attention to Voyou's Houseman. Or, as it happens, the 1988 edit by LA's Razormaid that first honed its edges for club play and merged the title track with its b-side. The resulting edit rejuvenates this classic slice of late Cold War club music, its pounding beat, portentous strings and the repeated overdriven vocal refrain of Germany Calling perfect for basement clubs today, in Berlin and beyond.
Finally to complete the EP we have sample-heavy 1988 cut Not Leaving Without Jerry by Belgian duo Marc Borgions & Jo Lijnen aka Philadelphia Five. Originally produced by Luc Van Acker, (better known for his work with the likes of Front 242, Ministry and Revolting Cocks), the track has been handed over to NYC producer Andi, who ups the tempo and hones in on the rhythm section, putting the focus on the staccato drums and throbbing bass line the focal point now and creating a perfect soundtrack for sweat lashed bodies.
Together these four tracks revisit a moment in clubland when the rules were still being written, as Curses explains. "This was a pivotal moment where all genres were still evolving, figuring out what sounds would eventually become staple elements of one another which gave it all this naive, innocent and punk feel. You've got Trance arpeggios, those heavy snares of early EBM, chopped vocals in the style of Chicago and NY formative House music all mixed with Electrofunk and percussive Latin freestyle grooves. A time when we were dancing without boundaries, something very much in the spirit of Next Wave Acid Punx."

Release Info
Across two mammoth, critically acclaimed compilations Berlin-based Musician and DJ Curses' Next Wave Acid Punx series has shone a blacklight onto the darker side of club music. Featuring tracks from the 1970s right up to the present day made by both musical legends and up and coming talents alike, Curses has expertly threaded the needle between Experimental Pop, Post Punk, EBM, Electro, Techno and more to produce a stunning alternative history of clubland.
But, as every good digger knows, there's always more gems to uncover and so once again Curses has crowbarred open the electronic music's vaults to bring us four more long forgotten tracks, each one "Revamped" for maximum Dancefloor effect with Curses himself providing 2 edits alongside precision tooled reworks from Melbourne based Stockholm Syndrome and NYC's Andi.
First up from Curses is his Revamp of Deborah Sasson's (Carmen) Danger In Her Eyes, a curio from the wildly inventive mid late 80s that saw the American opera singer collaborate with German producers MCL (MicroChipLeague). A European chart topper on its original release, it's long since languished in obscurity but in Curses' hands is now ready to once again add more than a touch of melodrama to dancefloors.
For his second edit, Curses reworks J.W.B. Hits The Beat's House Fatale, having previously taken a razor to their Body On Body track on Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX. Originally released in 1988, House Fatale is a classic example of just how fast electronic music was evolving back then, bringing together elementsof Electro, Freestyle, House and more amongst a riot of samples, all elements Curses retains whilst nudging the tempo and giving the track a harder edge.
Sticking with the same Westside label that gave us House Fatale, Stockholm Syndrome turns his attention to Voyou's Houseman. Or, as it happens, the 1988 edit by LA's Razormaid that first honed its edges for club play and merged the title track with its b-side. The resulting edit rejuvenates this classic slice of late Cold War club music, its pounding beat, portentous strings and the repeated overdriven vocal refrain of Germany Calling perfect for basement clubs today, in Berlin and beyond.
Finally to complete the EP we have sample-heavy 1988 cut Not Leaving Without Jerry by Belgian duo Marc Borgions & Jo Lijnen aka Philadelphia Five. Originally produced by Luc Van Acker, (better known for his work with the likes of Front 242, Ministry and Revolting Cocks), the track has been handed over to NYC producer Andi, who ups the tempo and hones in on the rhythm section, putting the focus on the staccato drums and throbbing bass line the focal point now and creating a perfect soundtrack for sweat lashed bodies.

Renowned US producer Maceo Plex releases his highly anticipated third album, ‘’93', a homage to his three-decade journey through the realms of electronic music. Marking both a passion and a prolific career, the maestro presents a tantalising body of work that masterfully blends House, Hip Hop, Global Bass, Techno, Breaks, and Electronica. This audacious fusion delves into historic and modern influences, crafting an audio journey that transcends time, rich in history yet boldly future-facing.
‘’93' is a cross-genre exploration, seamlessly balancing emotion with hard-hitting beats. Maceo Plex collaborates with a stellar lineup of artists, including Diplo for his contribution on ‘You Don’t Have To Wait’ with Cubicolor, Oscar and the Wolf, Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction), Johnny Jewel and Desire, Kirsty Hawkshaw, Mystic Bill, AVNU, Giovanni, Ishi, and Tyler Hill, resulting in a diverse and dynamic musical affair.
This album narrates the story of a highly esteemed artist at a pivotal juncture in his career, consistently evolving towards new directions. Departing from the early deeper house sound that initially defined him, Maceo Plex intentionally ventures into new territory, steering away from his famed melodic and techno direction in recent years. Nevertheless, '93' retains the essence of Maceo Plex's signature style, transcending various sounds and genres in a manner reminiscent of his electrifying DJ sets, meticulously curated for the dancefloor and the crowds.
‘93’ vinyl LP by Maceo Plex is available on Lone Romantic from 17th May 2024.

Antenna - Another Wave

Antenna - Quasar
After recent explorations into ambient and pop under his full name, Sacha Renkas switches back to his Antenna moniker for ALT013. The Kiev-born, longtime Rotterdam-based artist uses a rough-around-the-edges, hiss-laden palette to construct his intricate, pensive club tracks. Often recording on the fly, he embraces the limitations and quirks of the hardware he works with, curating the happy accidents that come with them and that help make his music feel as alive as it does. It is emotional and imaginative in spirit, yet raw, almost instinctive in its rendering. Renkas cites the new wave and synth-pop from his youth and the sounds coming from Chicago and Detroit, as well as the Dutch West Coast he encountered later on, as inspirations. The sensitivity and hands-on approach associated with these are also tenets throughout his work. The "Another Wave EP," a selection of tracks created over nearly a decade, further substantiates this approach. Made on multiple MPCs, Juno synthesizers, and an Akai S900, and mixed on a Mackie 16-channel mixer, it blends, among others, elements of first-wave techno and European proto-trance. Opener "Alisa" stacks angular sine melodies and formant basslines one upon another yet flows like silk, its balance immaculately kept in check. On "Everyone M1," the bass organ patch from which the track derives its title finds itself amidst a lo-fi flux of capricious arpeggiators, ethereal pads, and decocted drums. "Another Wave" is a carefully sculpted slow burner, collected in its unfolding. Wisps of melody, gated pads, and whisper seem to wind between its drum patterns; the tension looming beneath this patchwork never entirely reveals itself. "Quasar" blends signature dramatic chords and off-rhythm bells with a creeping acid bassline and more kaleidoscopic drum patterns. It closes an EP distilled in its form, confident in its intent, and nowhere too bothered by genre boundaries or other formal constraints.

WRWTFWW Records is in a state of total bliss as it announces the release of the Pitstop Box compiling all 24 tracks from Japanese house music pioneer Shinichiro Yokota’s two acclaimed albums Do It Again and Again (2016) and I Know You Like It (2019). The collection, available on vinyl for the first time ever, is presented as six 45rpm-cut 12inches housed (!) in a superb slipcase box set created by Lopetz, designer, illustrator, typographer, and co-founder of Swiss graphic design studio Büro Destruct. Included as bonuses are two sticker sheets.
Previously only available on CD in Japan via cult electronic label Far East Recording, Shinichiro Yokota’s album discography finally gets a long overdue vinyl release in the form of a limited-edition box set housing (!) six 12inches and a total of 24 songs showcasing the house legend’s celebrated sound. With a production style drawing from a rich blend of funk, hip hop, electronic, and Japanese influences, Yokota’s music is loved for its simplicity, its hypnotic quality, and, most importantly, its SOUL – homegrown 90s soulful melodic club music…pure love!
The Pitstop Box, full of dancefloor treasures and sprinkled with downtempo gems, not only defines Yokota’s personal journey but also resonates as an essential contribution to the house genre and Japanese music in general. It includes his house hits (“Right Here Right Now”, “Night Drive” and the list goes on), a cover of “Simoon” by Haruomi Hosono’s Logic System, and a collaboration with his longtime partner and electronic music hero Soichi Terada.
Shinichiro Yokota began his musical history in Tokyo, inspired by electronic music giants such as Yellow Magic Orchestra and Kraftwerk. He co-founded Far East Recording with the great Soichi Terada (who also worked with WRWTFWW for the Omodaka compilation) in 1990. After releasing the now highly sought after Far East Recording album with Terada in 1992 (from which his viral hit “Do It Again” is from), he took a hiatus from music and, most notably, brought his passion for sports cars to the next level by launching Night Pager, a company he started with his wife, specializing in tuning sports cars and modifying limiters for competition racers. It’s this side of Yokota’s life which has inspired the design of the Pitstop Box. He triumphantly came back to music with the album Do It Again and Again in 2016, consisting of unreleased 90s recordings as well as new material, and followed it up with I Know You Like It in 2019. His work has influenced generations of producers, and has expanded Japanese house music's reach on the global stage. Experience it on vinyl now.
Full unadulterated pleasure forever - from night drives to dancefloors.
Points of interests
For fans of 90s house, NY house, deep house, sample house, jazzy house, soulful house, true house, also downtempo, funk, old school hip hop, Larry Heard, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Soichi Terada, sports cars, listening to house music in sports cars, listening to house music while driving at night, listening to house music to dance, listening to house because it feels good, good things in general.
First ever vinyl release for Shinichiro Yokota’s Do It Again and Again (2016) and I Know You Like It (2019) albums, together in a beautiful slipcase box set!

Theo Parrish - Untitled One Featuring Duminie Deporres
Repress!
Apart from the obvious love for his musical talents, both as a producer and as a DJ, one of the reasons why we love Theo Parrish so damn much is his repressing policy. Unlike some of his peers, the man has no problem in repressing in-demand Sound Signatures from the past, and this time it's number 32 that receives a much-welcomed resurrection. The EP features singer Dummine Depores, first on the utterly hummable and soulful "Chemistry" track, and then on "Untitled One", a classically off-kilter Parrish number filled to the brim with sampling goodness and even a distant set of guitar riffs! Killers.

Fireground’s live sets brim with joy and Mediterranean warmth so, as we have now passed the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and are well on en route to leave the long, cold winter behind, what could be more fitting than a new release from the duo?
As with their three previous releases on Tresor (Dualism, Refreshing Part 1, and Dreams) for Love Letter Angela and Daniele have created a heady melange of styles of techno synonymous with the turn of the century with such outrageous elan and jubilation that they practically embody the musical term giocoso:
“We had the "summer" concept in mind from the beginning, this pushed us to create a message in our sound making it uplifting and engaging, capable of conveying a positive, romantic and warm vibe. In our productions we always give priority to the harmonic parts such as melodies, pads, piano and guitar riffs, the peculiarity of this EP is that all the tracks were born first from these elements, and only at the end the groove was crafted, not due to a difference in importance, rather to ensure that the rhythmic part paid as much respect as possible to the harmonic part.”
This decision to build upwards from the harmonics has paid dividends: the entrance of a string section provokes visions of a rapt club crowd cheering with exultation; a looped groove stimulates a connection to such gleeful nostalgia that is almost certain to be heard at many festivals in coming months; a blissful pad sweeps over a
track like the first rays of sun in the morning; a filtered synth rises to be met with a xylophone-like countermelody…every track has a moment where the music overflows with some form of happiness. Together the collection promises, and perhaps even delivers, a summer both ecstatic and joyful.

Fireground’s live sets brim with joy and Mediterranean warmth so, as we have now passed the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and are well on en route to leave the long, cold winter behind, what could be more fitting than a new release from the duo?

Tigerbalm - Profunda Alma (Make-A-Dance Tribal Dub)
With output on Ubiquity, Wonderwheel and Razor-N-Tape, London’s Tigerbalm has truly come into her own production voice recently, bringing forth a colorful vision of tropical influences filtered through modern club sounds. With the Profunda Alma EP, the Tiger focusses her attention on Brazil, coaxing out two gorgeous original songs that pay homage to the sizable impact the country has had on her musical sensibilities. Profunda Alma features the vocalist Joy Tyson (who appeared on Tigerbalm’s earlier Nina EP), and creates an atmosphere of deep emotional mystique through driving percussion, an insistent bassline and dramatic guitar stabs. Vem Ca goes for a more bouncey retro samba vibe and features the incredible vocals of Joao Selva, who delivers a hook that feels almost canonical, as if we’ve known it forever. Ever consistent French producer Yuksek takes Vem Ca straight to the club with his remix, and London upstarts Make-A-Dance deliver two trippy dancefloor takes on the title track to make this record a powerful 5-tracker!
