Finally, Tim Toh stretches out Beasts And The Birds into a 9 minute journey into abstract dance.
I.F.M are from Salento, Italy and this project is dedicated to Ilario Corsano. He was an influential DJ and a closed friend of Marcello Napoletano and Francisco Schito who passed away. The rhythms of I.F.M are challenging and forward-thinking. Grooves with a personal attitude and a trademark sound make this project so essential to us. Dan Mela who is known for his releases on Black Label and is also Francisco’s brother has contributed 2 awesome mixes.
Just 18 years old and hailing from Detroit, Kyle Hall has been getting a lot of attention after releasing several EPs on his own Wild Oats label, plus a one-sided single for Omar S’ FHXE imprint. However, this is his first full release for another label. Both tracks inhabit an interzone between live and mechanical music, full of details and fills that lend a playful, hands-on feel.
Devilishly catchy melodies and basslines, full of feeling and soul, evolve and grow as the arrangement develops to leave you on an almighty high. Big drops, super heavy drum programming and grooves that sound like only Joy Orbison right now. There’s shades of garage, shades of funky, shades of old school R&B.
Yore proudly presents Marcello Napoletano, who is more than just the man of the hour, with his extraordinary releases presented on Mathematics, Uzuri and Quintessentials. This Ep follows the roots of classic raw House musics in its purest most authentic form.
Fierce jacking Chicago influenced tracks as only Legowelt can do it! Very much in the vein of his DX Days release with straight forward jacking analogue drum machines, trademark Legowelt string sounds and wobbly bass lines.
Great release from upcoming 19 yr old Space Dimension Controller, young producer from the UK. Three dope tracks, along the lines Of The other Peoples Place, but with a personal signature. Kyle Hall, another young talent from Detroit is on remix duties here.

Hardworking, never forgetting his gentleman manners, Tony is here to stay and Raw Trax Vol. 2 is a bold new statement, and his best work to date. Classic Detroit influenced Drum machine vs Piano themes and morphing synths.

Fear Of Flying ploughs a furrow through the hazier realms of dance music, the ethos more focused on the ‘after party’ than the main dance floor & the emphasis being on dubby beats and deep musical treats in all their various forms.
The first japanese artist on Quintessentials, Ryo Murakami, who already released on Dessous, Pokerflat and soon on Mule Musique. The flipside offers the more than 11 minutes long “Lunch Of God” remix by Scott Ferguson adding more club feel plus a superb lil bonus track by Ryo Murakami himself.
Long building phat grooving track that builds and becomes a monster of an latin jazz piano key and funky bassline driven track! One of those tracks that make the trainspotters go to the dj booth to see what it is, while very likely they already have heard in the record shop!
Almost one year after the first release Dérive Schallplatten releases the second record. That’s quite a long time. But however, haste makes waste and even more when it’s about some passionate drifters! Expect some bittersweet melodies with deeply grounded melancholia, vigorous beats and acidic bassline’s.
