TIGER STRIPES ANTHEMIC DESOLAT DEBUT BACKED UP BY REMIX FROM tINI
Since first bursting onto the scene back in 2004, Tiger Stripes has released on an impressively varied array of labels including Ibadan, Get Physical, liebe*detail, Drumcode and Strictly Rhythm. January 2014 sees Swedish artist make his long-awaited debut on Desolat on the 'Sisters EP'. Title-track 'Sisters' kicks things off off a bumping bass line and strong percussion and the track moves along until a distinctive vocal, which is sure to be one of the most memorable hooks of the year, enters the fold. 'Sisters' reminds us that there is always summer somewhere, a true anthem.
Following on is 'Keep A Movin' which is a hypnotic rolling house track full of energy but with a darker vibe and an equally engrossing vocal - sure to be deadly on the dancefloor. On remix duties, tINI instantly marks her personal stamp on the original by taking out much of the vocal, slowing the BPM and infusing a woosy meandering bassline with the original melody. The end result is both brilliantly trippy and totally engrossing. Overall then, the 'Sisters EP' showcases Tiger Stripes considerable talent through three tunes of the highest calibre.

Tiger Stripes - Everybody's Doing It
Tiger Stripes debuts on Rekids with ‘I Heard It Through the Bassline’.
Stockholm’s Tiger Stripes appears on Matt Edwards’ Rekids for the first time with the ‘I Heard It Through The Bassline’ two-tracker. The EP starts with the aptly named title track, defined by its deeply infectious bass, which propels forward along tight house grooves and classy gospel vocals. ‘I Heard It Through the Bassline’ is followed by Tiger Stripes’ ‘Everybody’s Doing It’, a stylish, low-slung people mover with the air of a vibey, dim-lit establishment or introspective late-night journey through the city.
Strange Idols label founder Tiger Stripes is a prolific producer, remixer, and DJ who has been active since the early 2000s. He’s collaborated with artists like Kerri Chandler and Jerome Sydenham and released music via heavyweight underground imprints, including Hot Creations, Get Physical, and Sydenham’s Ibadan.

tiger stripes - Dunjacka
Swedish producer Tiger Stripes, the alias of Mikael Nordgren, brings his techno touch to Hot Creations for his debut EP on the label this summer. Jack My Yum is a heavyweight three-parter that sees the Swede invite Hot Creations stable mate, Matt Tolfrey, to provide a stellar remix. Opening track Jack My Yum is a warped and heavy roller with a smattering of dark vocals. Haunted brings with it a bass that you can feel reverberating off the concrete walls of a darkened club, interspersed with an eerie melody. Following his recent release Americas on the label, Leftroom Records boss Matt Tolfrey brings his groove and a bouncier bassline to proceedings with his version of the title track. Dunjacka completes the EP, with Nordgren sewing together a techno beat with broken vocal stabs, underpinned by a throbbing groove throughout. Tiger Stripes has collaborated with legendary names such as Kerri Chandler, Adeva, Leroy Burgess, Riva Starr and Jerome Sydenham, with his brand of deep and futuristic techno seeing releases on some of the underground’s biggest imprints including Desolat, Drumcode and Cajual.

Tiger Stripes - Glorified (Rodriguez Jr. Remix)
Swedish phenomenon Tiger Stripes returns to Audiomatique with a funky little number indeed. Going by the name of ‚Glorified‘, this return to the fore (and of course the dancefloor) is a fitting addition to the Audiomatique
catalog, ever growing and pushing cutting-edge, techy house and techno. ‚Glorified‘ opens with a tight swinging groove, an easy going vibe and a light and airy positive vibe. As we get quickly drawn into Mr.Stripes‘ snaking arrangement, an uplifting speech arrives from a preacher from the House of Jack! Smooth organs and high-end production values wrap up this unavoidable winner. Acclaimed producer Rodriguez Junior lends his hand to remix ‚Glorified‘ and really delivers a stellar treatment - drawing out the introduction and adding tension. Pushing drums lead a pitching, super-stereo chord pattern as the filters open and evolved into an early morning anthem.

Tiger Stripes - How We Feel
Cult Swedish producer and multi-instrumentalist Tiger Stripes arrives on Audiomatique with this incredible new three track EP. A monstrous lesson in modern minimalism, ‚AH-64‘ pumps with a dark yet funky inner power that‘s felt even stronger after the sinister string laden break. Slow building and totally infectious this trippy late-nighter is built for the big rooms and will have you reaching for the lasers in no time. On a slightly lighter tip, ‚How We Feel‘ warms us with funky, energetic percussion in a modern and positive tech-house jam. With smooth future house keys and plenty of details it‘s a straight forward floor burner. ‚Back To Detroit City‘ takes us right there, deep, dubbed and melodic this retrospective workout features delicate melodies laden above yet more warm, powerful and driving beats. Continuing, elongating and drifting, it‘s a perfect conclusion to the EP.

His tracks are so universally rhythmic it can work on almost ANY dancefloor. Each song embarks the listener in a Voyage, telling a tale with it's varied subliminal messages, with severe synth sounds and incredibly effective drum loops, clearly shining through on this masterpiece collection of danceable works.

Loco Dice has unveiled his darkly eclectic album 'Love Letters', a 15-track embodiment of his diverse production range. Featuring the latest single 'We're Alive', the most highly anticipated record of his recent sets.
Dice's third studio album after '7 Dunham Place' and 'Underground Sound Suicide' sees him reflecting on his musical influences and connections to Dusseldorf and beyond. The album is packed with the producer's typically forceful tones, which blur the lines between house and techno. Utillising the bristling sounds and smooth drum beats, Dice's "Love Letters" album serves as an aural embodiment of the tones which make his sound so unique.
Throughout 'Love Letters', Dice uses his own vocals more frequently than on previous albums, which makes the production both trippier and more personal, representing past and present.
Addressing his listeners via special sleeve inside the 3x12" vinyl album edition, Dice writes:
"It's been a while since I've released anything in the form of an album. This time everything happened differently than my previous albums where I had the story or the concept first and where the music was my soundtrack to that story. This time the music came first - making and collecting music, having a good time in the studio without any pressure. It was not clear at all what to do with all this. To release it or not, if I have club 12" singles, or if I should just keep everything… but it felt good.
I looked around me and started to let only positive vibes into my surroundings and after I finished producing the 1st single "Roots", everything came together. The missing link was there. It was clear to me that this is an album that belongs on my label, Desolat. The music on "Love Letters" is filled with the positive energy and love that I have received around the world. Every piece on this album is like a mini letter. A Love Letter."
With a trio of collaborations on the album, Dice drafts in Serious Klein on "Selflove", Willam Djoko on "Out Of Reach" and Eddie Fowlkes on "D Town Playaz". As someone who is deeply influenced by genres like soul & funk, Dice invited German-based artist Serious Klein - who's work he has been following for the past while, to his Daddyscrib studio and a perfect blend was formed that was not only basted on their mutual African roots. When "Out Of Reach" began to take shape, it was clear for Dice that only the Amsterdam's finest - William Djoko, could provide the final shape he envisaged on the release. The third feature on the LP comes from Detroit godfather Eddie Fowlkes on the appropriately named "D Town Playaz", which features both of the artists' vocals and serves as a teaser for the things to come.
Continuing to headline the biggest clubs and festivals around the world, Loco Dice has directed his endless passion and musical sensibilities to bare upon his Desolat label, with a stream of records released from some of the most exciting artists around and supported by DJs across the globe.

Info:
Desolat label boss Loco Dice kicks off 2018 in fine style with a huge new single which sees the him reflecting on his musical roots and his connection to Dusseldorf, Detroit and beyond, whilst giving a taster for a brand new long player to come later in the year.
Dice’s recent past has seen the master of robust house and techno funk serve up killer remixes of Moby’s classic ‘Go’ and release his Underground Sound Suicide album, whilst continuing to headline the biggest clubs and festivals around the world. At the same time, he has directed his endless passion and musical sensibilities to bare upon his Desolat label, with a stream of records released from some of the most exciting artists around and supported by Djs across the globe. Now though the stage is set for the first new Loco Dice original recording in some time and it is sure to see him once more at heart of the global scene.
The bristling ‘Roots’ is a typically forceful track that blurs the lines between house end techno. It has twitchy synths bringing the energy to hurried drums as smooth chords add real soul. The claps are coarse & edgy, whilst Dice’s own dark vocals bring a brooding atmosphere and the whole thing is a synapse firing rave-up that cannot fail to detonate any dance floor. An instrumental is also included for even more visceral thrills.
This timely new single is the lead track from Dice’s latest album project, entitled ‘Love Letters’ and to be released later in 2018. More

A1 Hanzz Sup A2 Karimba B1 Hypnotised B2 Inception
Short info:
Loco Dice's Desolat label welcomes UK artist wAFF for its next EP, a meaty four tracker by the name of Hanzz Sup.
In recent times, wAFF has really established himself as one of the beacons of main room house and techno around the world. From standout sets at key Ibiza clubs to gigs at fabric, London via big underground hits on labels like Drumcode, Cocoon and Hot Creations, he is a real man of the moment.
The title track opens the EP in fine style with hulking great big kicks reverberating down low as wonky tones and scattered percussion add more heat. Barreling along and taking no prisoners, it is a hugely physical drum track with spoken word mutterings piling on the pressure. Making just as big an impression but in less direct ways, the shuffling and bubbling "Karimba" is a skittish, busy affair with tribal drums and vocal chants all layered up into something that is sure to become anthemic in Ibiza this summer. On the flip side "Hypnotised" works on getting into your brain with tight, scurrying drum and percussive patterns that never let up. It's a dense, busy arrangement that makes for a high octane ride. Last of all "Inception" takes on more of a house feel, with well swung, low slung drums bringing the groove as hammering hits and frosty synth lines keep busy up top.
This is house and techno that makes a big impact from one of the most on point producers out there right now.

A1 Capsule B1 Concrete B2 Reloaded C1 Mound C2 Skin Trigger D1 Reign D2 SN Model E1 Dezarhiva E2 Sister In Law F1 Romaniac F2 Dimensioni
Short info:
Debut album by Livio & Roby featuring Martin Buttrich, Guti, tINI, Hector, Andrea Oliva, Julian Perez, Cezar Merveille, Enzo Siragusa, Ryan Crosson and Premiesku.
Music is an art, a journey, a personal exploration. It doesn’t start when we press play, nor does it stops when we press pause. However, with music being thrust upon us daily, it is near impossible to escape the preconceived notions of how we listen and discover it. We nd an artist we like and we convince ourselves we love their art – we forget to interrogate the melodies, to understand the harmonies, to feel the rhythm and connect with its soul. We learned to forget the value of it, we simply go by what we predict from the musician rather than what we actually hear and feel in the sound.
Cue Romanian duo Livio & Roby. Their conceptual album project ‘Phantom Circle’ challenges us to defy the constraints of these preconceived notions. They invite us to focus on one thing and one thing only - the music.
The audience is invited to listen to 11 original tracks, each of them co-produced with an anonymous collaborator from their “circle” of friends. And there certainly are some impressive names involved: tINI,EnzoSiragusa,MartinButtrich,Guti,JulianPerez,Hector,RyanCrosson,CesarMerveille,Andrea Oliva & Premiesku. The classic Livio & Roby nuances will prevail, of course, but there will be no clear evidence about the “phantom” collaborator behind each track, apart from the music itself. By keeping the mystery on the identity of each co-producer, the duo is challenging their listeners to bypass the involuntary pre-conception and focus on the essential: listen and feel.
Livio & Roby’s emotive and mind-moving grooves have put them not only at the top of their homeland’s list of nest producers but also at the forefront of the global electronic scene. The experience developed by the collaborators in this album only echoes the magnitude of Livio & Roby’s talent, which boils down to their stamp of ambition and courage, consolidated in this project. Above all, this album accentuates their clear intention to enjoy music for itself and nothing else.

Tracklist 12":
A1 Moby - Go (Loco Dice Remix) B1 Moby - Go (Loco Dice Mo' Strings Remix)
Short info:
Desolat label boss Loco Dice is back with what is sure to be a massive autumn package: he has remixed the seminal dance track 'Go' by the legendary Moby, twice, and has made it all his own in the process.
Moby needs little introduction: the American dance producer and live performer's albums are classics of the genre that are celebrated far and wide. They have been used on thousands of adverts, have given rise to hit singles all over the world and have made him one of the most celebrated electronic music stars of our time. His 'Go' track was what started it all for him back in the 90's, and was a bona fide club classic of the day. It still resonates today and always gets crowds going. Now it has been remixed twice by Loco Dice, who has added his own stamp to it in distinctive fashion.
His first excellent version is eight minutes of chunky and tribal drums, with rubber kicks, clipped horn stabs and big hits all building the pressure. Those most famous vocal cries really finish it off in style, and ensure that dance floors will go wild whenever it is dropped, as do wonky synths and big piano chords at the breakdown.
The second version is more emotive, with big sweeping strings smeared in the background to help make it all the more dramatic, teary eyed and impactful on the floor. This one is for the peak time in any set and is sure to make the most memorable moment of any night.
Both remixes here pack a real punch, and whilst remaining true to the original, they both sound just like you would expect from modern dance heavyweight Loco Dice.

Short info:
'Underground Sound Sucide' is the most recent album from Loco Dice, it followed up 2008's landmark '7 Dunham Place' and proved once again that the Du?ssledorf based artist is in a class of one.
The Ultra Music released LP featured collaborations with artists like Just Blaze, Neneh Cherry, Miss Kittin, Chris Liebing and Giggs amongst others and showcased Dice's versatility with influences from techno to hip hop and beyond. Underpinning it all the album retained Loco Dice's chunky, bass driven feel and has made its way into many top DJ sets ever since release on October 30th last year.
Now Desolat boss Loco Dice is releasing an exclusive boxset of the album on vinyl, including a host of new remixes and limited edition items.
The reason this project is happening is because Desolat is a label that still prizes the physical format and inherent value of vinyl. As such, the whole thing, entitled the Underground Sound Suicide Box, is to be pressed to vinyl for a full physical release that will allow the exquisite sound design and rich detail to really shine.
The fine original cuts are being pressed across four 12" records, and on top of that, four separate remix EPs will also be included featuring classy reworks of the material by established names from the worlds of house and techno including Nightmares On Wax, Henrik Schwarz, Kenny Dope Gonzalez, Kerri Chandler, Martin Buttrich, Robert Hood and Timo Maas among others.
On top of this, there is a custom made diamond shape metal USB stick containing all the material and bonus tracks along with four music videos to 'Get comfy', 'Keep it Low', 'Party Angels' and 'Sending This One Out'. The set also ships with a custom designed slipmat. All in all this exclusive material is packed in a handmade box and is available only as the DESOLAT USS BOX.
This collection is a must own piece for wax lovers and fans of Loco Dice, but also for fans of contemporary, club owning house and techno.

A1 Altitude A2 Bucur B1 Neo B2 Permut
Short info:
Loco Dice's Desolat kicks off 2016 with a brilliant new EP from Romanian trio Premiesku aka long term friends Livio, Roby and George G. They have close associations with the label and have done for years, and after their great debut album Indirect in 2012, are now a very real force in the dance world.
The trio is also famed for its live show, which is performed using specially made consoles and has seen them headline all over Europe from Timewarp to Watergate to Rex in Paris. With releases on labels like 2020Vision and Vakant, this really is a fantastic outfit that once again comes up trumps here.
Opener "Altitude" is seven minutes or irresistible electronic funk. Jostling drums and odd synth sounds dance next to each other and you will too. Machines get loose and spit out soulful sounds and odd hooks and the whole thing keeps you locked for the duration. "Bucur" is a more peak time techno cut with forceful kicks driving it along, occult little alien sounds and snatched vocal parts that are fluid and free flowing and will really get under the skin of any dancefloor in expert fashion.
"Neo" then finds the Romanians going for a more minimal aesthetic with slick rubbery drums making a punchy pattern down below as heavenly female vocals up top add a key human element. Some spiritual melodies also explode above the groove and ensure that minds will be well and truly blown when this one is dropped. Lastly, the excellent "Permut" is a dubby roller with a fat and heavy bottom end that is impossible to ignore. It has some classic techno synths lighting it up and is the sort of hypnotic affair that will really stand out in the coming months.
With this essential new EP Premiesku continue to go from strength to strength.

A1 Agility Queen (feat. DJ DMC) A2 Groundhog Day B1 Flea Allergy B2 Aroa Leon
Short info:
Ibiza based Francisco Allendes makes a welcome return to Desolat for his next release, a fine EP that marks something of a new direction for the man across its four great tracks. First up, 2Agility Queen" is a raw bit of jacking house with clipped vocals offered up by Dance Mania's DJ DMC, bulky drums and classic cow bell tinkles all making for a sweaty and heavy house kicker . The rapped vocals that come in add plenty of flair to an already firing track. The brilliant "Groundhog Day" is an off kilter, rave influenced tune with wordless voices, militant snare patterns and blasts of frazzled bass frequencies that cannot fail to energise any floor. On the flip, "Flea Allergy" is another anxious cut of coarse hi hats, robotic and wordless vocals and slamming dreams that works you into a frenzy, then "Aroa Leon" gets even more unhinged, lumpy and ghetto fried with its sleazy drums, jittery perc and kinetic sense of energy.
This lively, arresting new EP is a fine new direction and sound for Francisco Allendes that never stays too far from the chunky Desolat blueprint we all know and love.

A1. Wax Mania A2. Taped Chrome B1. Till Melted B2. F What You Heard
Short info:
Loco Dice's Desolat label serves up a huge package here from Russia's finest underground house and techno production and DJ export, Tripmastaz.
His four track EP is a testament to his ability to cook up chunky club groves that cannot fail to make their mark. That is immediately proven with title track "Wax Mania", a bulky techno roller with monstrous kicks, raved up synth stabs and knocking percussion that all invite you to stomp along to the groove before some jazzy chords enter the mix and funk things up.
"Taped Chrome" was written and recorded in one session, was recorded straight to tape and is an angst ridden, edgy peak time cut with coarse claps, loud, alarm-like synths and grumbling bass that will rattle the walls of any club. The perfectly dark and consuming "Till Melted" has pinging rubber kicks swaying beneath all sorts of withering and whirring synth lines and is a perfect freak out tune. Full of mischief and intensity with lots of subtle effects all adding to the tension, it is one that will get fists pumping in any set. Finally, "F What You Heard" is a deeper house cut with a synth line that rises and falls in loudness, sucking you in as it goes whilst blocky drums stomp out a thick groove. This is effective, solid dancing music that is also hugely fun from the Russian star.
Enjoy!

A1. Don't Break The System A2. I Need B1. Can't Stop B2. It Wasn't Me
Short info:
Loco Dice's influential Desolat label looks to Belgium born Italian producer Bimas for a firing new EP that feature four great club cuts.
Bimas has been in the game making music for more than a decade and DJing even longer. Here he impresses with tracks inspired by the old songs he heard on late night YouTube listening sessions. His expertise manages to make the sounds come over as real life, lived in affairs, though not overly polished things that are hard to love.
Great opener 'Don't Break the System' is a high impact techno slammer with vocal stabs and big drums. It's a physical, relentless affair for the peak time of the night and is sure to really get people's attention. The infectious 'I Need' is just as big in terms of the size of the groove, but the drums are funkier, the pads are warmer and the overall vibe is more playful and inviting as the track races along and you go with it. The brilliant 'Can't Stop' features a well treated vocal getting altered about by macho drums. Icy hi hats and pinging kicks as well as malfunctioning machine sounds all add to the wonkiness and intensity of this killer techno cut. Lastly, 'It Wasn't Me' plays with another big vocal sample, drowning it in reverb and pinning it to vast rubber kicks then letting the whole thing roll on and on for days.

A1 Take Away B1 Take Away (Loco Dice Remix) B2 Take Away (Pablo Bolivar Club Version)
Short info:
youANDme is acclaimed collaborative project between Berlin based pair Martin and Daniel. They make raw, emotive underground sounds and Martin recently turned out a well received full length album on Ornaments that explored far and wide. They did official works for artists like Moodymann, Radio Slave, Seth Troxler, Lawrence and many others. They also run Rotary Cocktail and 3 other mysterious labels. "Take Away" was written in summer 2014 with vocalist Black Soda from South Africa. The track is made from various hardware synth, and is filled with feeling. It is built on a bed of pinging drums and coarse claps, but the heaviness lifts with the arrival of Black Soda's breezy, spoken word vocals and some colourful xylophone like melodies. It's a proper underground anthem in the making, frankly. Then comes Loco Dice with his version. It is chunky, with grainy, sheet metal claps, twisted vocals and skewed synths that all make it robust and masculine. Sure to be massive when dropped in the right club, it is a fine bit of work from the boss. Pablo Bolivar then steps up to remix and flips the track into a more uptempo, gliding house cut with starry melodic patterns, punchy drums and filtered vox. It builds and builds to a peak and then implodes under emotive arps that are dotted left, right and centre, no doubt owning floors in the process.

Naples native Antonio Russo aka Adapter joins the Desolat family with a sublime four track EP entitled 'Gain'. With previous outings on the likes of Get Physical, Octopus or Viva, Adapter already proved to be in a rich vein of form, and here he goes one step further.
A-side 'Gain' is a warbling peak time builder. A perfect combination of thudding techno bass, driving drums licks, and intricate and delicate synths. The ethereal breakdown will certainly give that all important dance-floor respite, before proceedings kick back twice as hard.
'Boomshake' is a rasping, percussive, tech-house weapon that is sure to be utilized throughout the coming months. It's long arching build ups give way to highly functional plateaus that will be well received by plarty goers.
'Knockout' is a jacky, staccato, hypnotic track that will allow DJs to take things a little left of center when the time is right.

Short info:
Estonian upstart Merimell joins Desolat with this four track forward thinking EP that is pushing the boundaries of the house and techno genre.
With nods to moombahton and trap, the 'Cyber Seduction' EP is set to pique the interest of those looking for something a little different.
'Cyber Seduction' is a futuristic staccato cut that itches and scratches. The rising synths create tension that segues nicely into a lip-curling, head-nodding bass. Swish vocal chops complement everything nicely to give a well rounded groovy track.
'Drop It' is an erratic yet pulsating affair. The topline acts like a MC, calling the listener deeper into the sublime production.
'Back' again makes effective use of a distinctive topline. Underpinned by bass led goodness its repetetiveness is cleverly offset by a full range of drum sequences that keep things fully entertaining.
'His Rhythm' comprises nice chunky beats and sharp vocal samples.
Check it. The kids are alright

The digital only bundle follows in similarly varied and interesting fashion with Stop File's pulsating 'Panic', the peak time power of Jon Rundell's 'Freak Out' and Cuartero's 'Silicone', Sable Sheep's nervy percussion on 'Paranoidal', the tropical 'Tripping' by Lollino to the hedonism of Arado & Bimas' 'My Art and My Soul'.
It's a perfect taste of what to expect over the following twelve months.
Enjoy!

Short info:
Pulshar return to Desolat with another stunning long player filled with a selection of sumptuous productions that further demonstrate their grasp over intimate and deeply ethereal electronic music. Vinyl version of 'Blood and Mathematics' features the originals and instrumentals via download code, and is perfectly timed for when the days begin to draw to a close. Barcelona based duo Sergio S. Vidal and Pablo Bolivar have cemented the Pulshar name and reputation as proponents of dub-heavy, soulful and at times psychedelic electronic music. Their first Desolat long player 'Inside' received critical acclaim and effortlessly bridged the gap between the dance-floor and the home listening environment. They returned to Desolat in 2013 with a deliciously deep and trippy EP in 'Different Drum', and now continue their relationship with the label with 'Blood and Mathematics'. Pulshar continue their affair with Electro, Instrumental Hip-Hop, Dub and Psychedelia. They have distilled this to create a distinctive and soulful brand of electronic music and the new Long Player represents where the artists are in 2014. All the tracks are written and produced by them, with only Guti as a featuring artist on 'Running Away'. This has resulted in them cultivating a traditional 'album' experience where one track effortlessly segues into the next and takes the listener through a range of emotions across the record. Blood and Mathematics is a contemporary electronic music listening experience that will be revisited again and again.
