With Vantaa, raster-noton releases for the first time an album by Vladislav Delay aka Sasu Ripatti. Ripatti, one of the pioneers of electronic music of the last decade(s), who is known for several projects, has attracted our attention and received our respect most notably under his pseudonym Vladislav Delay. Vantaa will be the beginning of a long lasting collaboration, which will extend and deepen the spectrum of the label, whereas it falls in line with releases of, for example, William Bassinsky, Robert Lippok, or Mitchell Akiyama. Even though complex electronic manipulations are used, Vantaa wants to sound like a piece of nature, resulting in a mixture of techno/dub and organic textures. The tracks oscillate between a decadent, greyish, post-industrial sound cloud and the intimate atmosphere of a vast and desolate finnish landscape. Ripatti plays with tiny rhythmic bricks that...[ read on ]

Over the past two years Nebraska has released a bunch of well received EP's for Rush Hour. The follow up to this series is his first album for the label. Nine months after his 'Four for Four' EP, we give you 'Displacement'. The album largely consists of brand new tracks, from the smooth and elegant 'You & I' and 'The Cruives' to the more upfront disco of 'Patina' or 'Phthalo Blues'.

Liber Dogma shifts expertly between biting, sensual electro, plangent electronics and wave after wave of throbbing Dark Wave Techno.

Tiga and Zombie Nation have joined forces to create the most potent dance record of the year. Apocalyptic tension. Panic-fueled fundowns. 2012 is approaching. THE HEAT IS NOW – PARTYS OVER EARTH! Having both rocked remarkably long and prolific careers, the members of ZZT possess uncanny staying power in an industry where hype ends faster than it begins. Zombie Nation's production credentials are impeccable, and his reputation as a live performer has made him a permanent fixture on Europe's main stages. Meanwhile, Tiga's vocal hooks, sampling know-how-to, DJ sets and impressive work as a label boss have all kept him perched atop the electro-pyramid. These are two major players in the indie-dance world, but together, they are something else entirely. ZZT first established themselves as Paradigm Wreckas back in 2007 with 'Lower State of Consciousness,' upping the ante on how...[ read on ]

Do a quick Google search for eLan and the Internet will most likely generate results for a female singer from Latin America, a reggae vocalist from LA, an all-male rock band from Slovakia or the alleged pseudo-name used by Brainfeeder artist Tokimonsta. Few results will actually tell you that eLan is also Elan Stouffer, a mysterious but prolific beatmaker currently residing in San Diego. When Modeselektor got introduced to the music of eLan, they immediately fell for the effective simplicity and on their constant mission to discover the next new beat, signed the young talent from California right away. First a track named „Pussy Posse“ appeared on Modeselektion Vol. 01, later a by now sold out split 10inch with eLan and Falty DL was released on Modeselektor's longest standing label 50 Weapons. Following the 50 Weapons split 10inch in January 2011 eLan, member of the highly...[ read on ]

Frequencies are swines, every audio-autodidact knows about that. Making music is hard work at the analytical front, every bar just a tiny territorial gain, that neverending scramble between wetware and software. And when the exhausted lonesome hero finally stumbles outside, then it was just another day in the coal-mines of techno, a long day, a heavy day, everyday life. But sometimes all the troubles aren‘t for nothing, sometimes the ring-bounded eye can capture a shine and glitter in the dried-out riverbed, a rough diamond in the digged boulders, ready to get rasped and polished like anything. The last bus home is gone? Never mind. Sleep at the studio? Whatever it takes. Sacrifices are being made and not being born. And all are equal before the flow. In all that sense, SUB STATIC boss FALKO BROCKSIEPER has now processed a big issue, after a remarkable number of EP‘s and remixes: the...[ read on ]

2011 saw the launch of a new way of working for Cari Lekebusch's H-Productions label. Motivated by the dual inspirations of the label's original name -- Hybrid Productions -- and the brands long legacy within techno, a concept was born which would bring together a select group of artists whose musical taste complimented one another and whose heritage matched that of the label. This deliberate hoarding and nurturing of creative forces within a group dynamic has breathed new life into a label whose first release hit the shelves of record stores in 1994; enabling the H-Productions legacy to continue to be a home to the artist who have helped build the brand over the last seventeen years and provide a launch pad for like-minded talent of the next generation. Like the label itself, this debut release of H-Productions' Mutation series is also a hybrid. Born out of a spark of inspiration,...[ read on ]

Hi everybody, we are very happy to invite for the new TIME IS NOW Luca Mortello aka Lucy. Lucy aka Luca Mortellaro was born in Palermo, Italy, creating a name for himself as an underground artist in Italy. These early tracks drew the attention of renowned artists including James Holden. Luca is a king of genious musician, far from the fashion rules, far from the loopy rules of the moment. It's not that the new fashion is so bad, but the luca's music is just magic. For this opus, Luca gave uf two awesome tracks. "Bomblin", a true poem, with its floating guitar and synths. All in a strong beat. "i need you" is a pure techno track like Lucy perfectly knows how to do it. We call three remixers for this great package.

The German phrase “Katze im Sack” describes a new idea for our shop. The Americans are using the phrase "Grab Bag", English people know it as “Lucky Bag” But just like the Grab Bag you may know from Kindergarten, you don't get to know what's in the bag. You're getting a surprise. It might be a record, you have always wanted, it might be a record you have never heard of, it might be one you already own that you can give to a friend. Who knows! That's part of the surprise. After the huge success of the CD Grab Bags we have decided to launch Vinyl Bags. The difference to the CD editions is that we will not pack the bags by style, we think it’s better if we offer the Bags separately for each label. The Grab Bag - Harthouse Vinyl Edition (5 x 12inch) contains 5 of our 5,95€ + sale Vinyl’s from the Label Harthouse and we are going tom sell them to you all in all for 15 € ...[ read on ]
