One of Kompakt's most mythical entities, SUPERPITCHER has always followed a thoughtful and rarified release policy, rather honing a record until it's perfect (and risking longer periods of time in between outings) than rushing it out - it's a release rhythm that suits his idiosyncratic approach to dance music, not so much churning out floor fodder than creating timeless classics on his own terms. As one of our longest-serving artists, he has still managed to build an impressive portfolio, especially if you consider the ratio of iconic tracks per release. It's no wonder, then, that at any given time, a big part of his back catalogue seems to be sold out. Five years after the highly acclaimed, award-winning full-length KILIMANJARO (KOMPAKT 222 CD 80), it is time to revisit Superpitcher's unique body of work with SO FAR SO SUPER, an enticing selection of some of his most cherished cuts - acting as our 2016 vinyl offering for this year's Record Store Day, it collects highlights from all stages of his career, the underground club bangers as well as the conceptual album work. From opener JACKSON (as featured on POP AMBIENT 2012) and early successes like HEROIN, BABY'S ON FIRE (from TOTAL 4) or Total Confusion/Speicher anthem I WALK to signature tracks like HAPPINESS or RABBITS IN A HURRY, you'll find lots of magical moments to unearth or rediscover - all in one jam-packed, gorgeously wrapped vinyl release that no serious fan of electronic dance music should miss out on.

B1 - Niente Per Niente (Original Mix)
B2 - Balkan Youth (Original Mix)

Behind the next release on Meant Records are Italian duo Boot & Tax, a relatively new pairing made up of Claudio Brioschi and Cristian Croce. Here they serve up three great originals baced with a stellar remix from Alien Alien.
Before now, Boot & Tax have released two extremely well received EPs on JD Twitch’s Optimo Trax and have also recently had their music licensed to Erol Alkan’s Fabric live 77, so the pair are really on the up.
Title track ‘Brace Brace’ is first and is an elastic, analogue workout with gurgling synth lines riding up and down atop steely drums as punky vocals come on at various intervals. Acid and electro, techno and house all get bottled up in the arrangement, which is fresh and just what you would expect of someone backed by JD Twitch.
The Alien Alien remix of this one is slow and trudging, purposeful and swampy. Snaking synths, coarse claps and a sense of foreboding pervade this most groovy of slo mo cuts.
‘Niente Per Niente’ is a dark but balearic feeling bit of chugging disco, with big licks and groaning bass all gliding along at an inviting tempo. Breathy female ad libs add a sense of character to the shadowy drums and ensure this one will set parties like ALFOS on fire. Lastly, ‘Balkan Youth’ gets much more cosmic with its flipping synths, twinkly melodies and rattling percussive patterns. Ascending ever higher, it takes you on a ride through the cosmos and dumps you out somewhere altogether happier.
This is sure to be a breakout release for Boot & Tax who seem right at the heart of the analogue disco revolution.

Ten Walls debut album 'Queen'

The long awaited debut album from the highly talented dance music producer and artist Ten Walls called 'Queen' available from the mid of March in a double CD package and in the end of the month also in digital format. The author created a continuous story full of different colours and a great mixture of different genres including flavours of Broken Beat, Dub or even New Jazz. 
 'Queen' is an organic album. CD1 is more for listening, slow and light, including few songs as well. CD2 sounds more like dance music. One can also hear a lot of genres there, moving from one to the other. This album as one piece, just divided into two physical CD's. 
 The package of the album looks like a book - a piece of art. The book includes photos, reflecting each track. 'I have pictured these musical pieces in my mind, as it's natural for the artist to exceed the competence and search for additional forms that would supplement your work, making it single piece of art.' - adds Marijus (Ten Walls).  The combination of arts is a very important thing to be noticed, each of them has it's space, place and role in the album. Poetry and lyrics, photography / visual arts and music, altogether they make 'Queen' more that just a music album. 
 Ten Walls also made collaborations with very wide and different spectrum of musicians during the creation of his debut album 'Queen'. Conductor Ricardas Sumila, legendary piano genius and artist Petras Geniusas, good old friend Vytautas Sondeckis added some Cello masterpiece, bass guitar Domas Aleksa, drummer Marijus Aleksa, singers Monika Liu, ALX and Jonatan Backelie, Marijus' spiritual friend and teacher Andrew and nonet performers.
 Ten Walls debut album 'Queen' is available in double CD package from the mid of March and in digital format from the 27th of March.

Blue Marlin Ibiza is a stylish beach club that provides some of the best comfort, service and entertainment available on the island. Located in the beautiful Cala Jondal Bay in the southwest of the Island, Blue Marlin plays host each year to some of the most elitist parties around. 

Blue Marlin's beautiful location and high quality dining experience is accompanied by an equally exquisite music policy each day by Resident DJ's Vidal Rodriguez, Prosper Rek, Tom Crane & Bruce Hill along with special guests. During the day whilst the sun shines and people sit back and relax on the loungers the resident DJ's provide gorgeous laid-back beats and chilled vibes to provide the ultimate Blue Marlin experience. At night, Blue Marlin opens it's doors to a selection of Guest DJ's and performers to get the real party started with appearances from Little Louie Vega, Goldfish, Wally Lopez, Chuckie and Barbara Tucker to name a few. 

For volume 7, Blue Marlin have really pulled out all the stops, giving us 2 discs each with a distinctly different flavour, but still retaining that cool Blue Marlin vibe. Disc 1 is full of great deep house cuts that provide a taste of nights at the club, standout tracks being the Luna City Express remix of Marcos In Dub’s Mama Said and Pachanga Boys timeless Time. Disc 2 is more chilled and features stunning tracks from James Welsh and Prins Thomas’ remix of James Yuill’s This Sweet Love. The album will be heavily promoted across social media by Blue Marlin’s label partner Cr2 Records, and will be advertised extensively at the club itself.
