release date (vinyl / cd / digital): 21st of October

“I've intended to do an album for a long while. The tracks draw upon ideas going back to various points over the last 12 years or so - some of the hooks I wrote years ago other bits are brand new. In some ways I wanted it to reflect a personal arc and the way I tend to do things  - never rushed”

‘Frames of Reference’ is the some 12 years in the making debut album from UK based techno producer Ø [Phase].

Best known by his work on the Belgium based Token Records his style ranges from gritty minimal techno to Detroit influenced material. His debut ‘Module Overload’ was released on London’s Lost/Cosmic records in 2000 and was followed by a string of productions for London's Surface/Inceptive Records and Ben Sims Ingoma imprint.

The move to Token came in 2007, he shortly after began DJing professionally and has since performed at parties across the globe whilst becoming a regular guest at Berlin’s techno Mecca, Berghain performing alongside esteemed peers and supporters such as Marcel Dettmann, Len Faki and Ben Klock. His continued works have seen constant support throughout the techno world and have featured in CD mixes by Robert Hood, Dave Clarke, François Kevorkian and Fumiya Tanaka amongst others. Alongside his production work Ø [Phase] is also a mastering engineer and on/off artwork designer. Starting out at London’s prestigious Sony Music/Whitfield Street Studios, he has cut records for numerous underground dance acts as well as working on projects for mainstream artists.

Now after a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes for the likes of Robert Hood, Mark Broom and Peter Van Hoesen comes Ø [Phase]’s debut long-player ‘Frames of Reference’. Opening with the brooding and building swirl of ‘Binary Opposition (Process 3)’ Ø [Phase] sets out his template of evolving, richly textured atmospheres underpinned by shards of dark and light. ‘The Bwiti Initiate’ revolves around a bouncing techno rhythm that could most certainly traverse the house/techno divide whilst ‘Distracted’ and ‘Misaligned’ are the kind of unadulterated, pummeling, cavernous techno tracks that have made Lost such a party institution.
Then we have tracks like the soft beating ‘Just Another Dance’ providing a lighter edge, embellished with warmth and strings and the thick, densely woven tapestry of ‘Shadow Caster’ which goes from experimental to dancefloor and back again with consummate ease. The off-kilter lilt of ‘Perplexed’ drags us further into the dark before keys and a hint of a melody draw us back upwards for air whilst the fat driving bass of ‘Dirtro II’ and funkier edged menace of ‘On The Edge’ show a virtuoso producer at the top of his game. The closing introspection of ‘Self Deceit’ wallows in subtle nuances before a mid section synth and string intervention pulls us back from the brink before finally descending into the void.

Marco Bailey - Why Don't You Answer?

After a break of over a year while he concentrated on his debut album 'Smoke & Mirrors' for Drumcode, Ben Sims' Theory label returns to celebrate the 40th release with a stormer featuring remixes from 3 of the finest techno names around (Robert Hood, Rolando and Skudge). 

The title track 'Slow Motion' was included on Marcel Fenglers recent Ostgut Ton mix cd and has been in huge demand ever since plus there's brand new Sims cuts 'Straight From Bolivia' and 'New Blood' to complete the package. 

This E.P will released in 3 parts on vinyl and digital as Theory 040.1/040.2/40.3 in early March 2012.

| EDLX023 | Hans Bouffmyhre | Hypnosis EP |

Tracklisting:

1. Hypnosis
2. Hypnosis (Beat Tool)
3. Hypnosis (Beatless Tool)
4. Planetoid
3. Therapy

Release Date: 12th April 2012
Distrubuter: Word & Sound

Electric Deluxe are pleased to announce another signature EP-tool package from its newest affiliate Hans Bouffmyhre: Hypnosis EP marking the Glaswegian’s label debut in excellent fashion.

At just 24 years old, the Paisley man and self-proclaimed techno obsessive has already amassed an impressive amount of records for several formidable labels including Perc Trax, Synewave and 8 Sided Dice. Hans—real name Stephen Gorrie—started out like most music fanatics: promoting his own parties and DJing in his hometown. Production naturally ensued and in 2008 Sleaze the label was born. Today Gorrie’s humble enterprise has flourished into an established and globetrotting empire, complete with mastering and booking agency and sibling label, Smut. Erstwhile Gorrie’s own works over the years have been garnering interest from some of the scene’s biggest players.

For Electric Deluxe Hans Bouffmyhre turns in three pieces of deep and driving techno, taking his minimalistic tendencies down much darker, surging trajectories. Amply titled lead track “Hypnosis” roves over a pounding kick drum and classic ride sample that has already been whipping floors into a frenzy. Here both the beat and its beatless swirling counterpart have been supplied as tools for the digital DJs to get creative with. “Planetoid” is even more ominous—a veritably evil techno serpent, coiled and rattling, ready to strike. “Therapy” concludes in a “straight up, no nonsense” fashion, says Gorrie—and we are more than inclined to agree. This one’s for the first-pumpers.

Trus'me - Somebody - Treat Me Right (LP)

The Magnus Men return with Act Two, the second chapter in what is fast becoming one of techno's most talked about projects, this time with all star remixes. The title track 'Act Two' continues where the Magnus debut 'Act One' left off. Raw analog processing meets storming percussion to amp things up whilst preserving that signature funk. First up on remix duties is Truncate who expertly strips things down to an almost atomic level and then brings it back with a thump as only he can. Coming up second is Brendon Moeller who drops a THC infused dubbed out cut with acid bleeps and crack house swing.
Act Two was mastered and cut by Man Made Mastering Berlin and is available in limited quantities on beautiful blue vinyl. Coming soon to a bass bin near you!

Available from 30th Jan 2013

Sebo K - SCENARIO - Mobilee / Mobilee107 http://www.decks.de/t/sebo_k-scenario/c0z-t9

From deep house to dubby techno, Sebo K has been around the world and back taking the club scene on full throttle with the decks as his mission control. Now he's back with one of the rare long awaited releases – still hitting the point!

His latest output, "Scenario" isn't just any ordinary EP. Sebo K has this special release down to a science as he centers it around an event series that will gracefully unravel this year.

The self-titled track kicks off the 4-part EP with a mounting musical score writing an outline of the listener's idiosyncratic Kopfkino. The A2 takes "Scenario" and strips it down to a killer series of beats and base.

Flip over to the B-side and you'll find two more intense ambient-themed music scores including "Shades of Red" and "Fragments" that will rock you into the deepest trance of sideway thinking.

The buck doesn't stop at the release. As of 2013 the infamous "Sebo K and Friends" parties will now go under the alias, Scenario. Be sure to seek out the host with the most during the upcoming months throughout Europe.

Theory 043: Mark Ambrose-Shooting Stars/The Remixes
Release date: May 2013

The Blurb.

Mark's classic 'Shooting Stars' was originally released on the late great 'Offshoot' label in 1998 and became an underground hit, seeing support from a variety of DJ's including Derrick May, Cajmere and of course, Ben Sims.

Fast forward 15 years and this uncompromising tough edged disco workout still gets dropped and is highly sought after on the second hand vinyl market, so we thought it was time for a respectful remix package.

First up is a brand new firing makeover from the man himself that jacks in all the right places while staying true to original groove, then it's label head honcho Ben Sims who drops an intense Lil Louis inspired reworking. Uk hero Aubrey gets Dark on us with an intricate and menacing remix while newly formed Fokus Group (aka Paul Mac & Ben Sims) pull no punches with a relentless and harsh interpretation (Vinyl Only).

Enjoy!
