Over the years, Lo Recordings has taken pride in exploring a wide and broad range of sounds, genres and styles. To mark 20 Years of Lo Recordings, we are taking a fresh and bold approach with our output to further explore the accelerating and refined developments in electronic music today. 

This is the first of our new phase of releases, a collaborative project between the two titans Mr. G and K15. ‘A Learning Curve’ is exactly as the title suggests; an educational experience to understand each other musically and technically, and to explore new territories and schools of thought. 

As avid users and fans of the MPC, as well as being extremely busy, both Mr. G and K15 were given the same samples dug out of the Lo Recordings archives to each create a track which would remotely display their techniques and methods. This was quickly adopted to be the theme in a series of three releases to come out throughout the year from the pair. 

The results come in the form of Mr. G’s mesmerising ‘Navigate’ and K15’s introspective ‘The Guilt Within’; two very individual tracks in their own rights. 

‘Navigate’ is instantly recognisable as the work of its creator, armed and ready to bring the dance floor to hypnotic heights. With its rough and gritty sound, driving kick & synth stabs, and hauntingly majestic keys, we are thrown into peak of the night. On the flip, ‘The Guilt Within’ takes a turn to more ominous territories, crafting an atmosphere on the other end of the spectrum to ‘Navigate’. A beautiful and delicate journey carried along by light skipping percussion, immersive sweeping pads and a pulsing sub which all come together to take the listener deep inside themselves.

This was supposed to come out on Brownswood Recordings but they probably had nuff remixes of the same tune, Untold, Joy Orbison, DOP and 2 Izmabad mixes (Karizma + Simbad)... So here you are... Play late, loud and in the dark... ;-)

Motor City Drum Ensemble - Raw Cuts #6

The first Musik For Autobahns was a delight: softly-softly ambient and subtle cuts from the likes of Move D, Suzanne Kraft, Roman Flügel and plenty more besides. Even amongst Rush Hour's bounty that year, it stood proudly out. A ripple of excitement went through BR HQ upon finding out Gerd Janson was lining up a second, with no shortage of marquee signings all coming correct with their A game.

A number of heads come together to translate these thoughts into sound - from Fort Romeau's Drive-esque "Seleno" joyride through to the propulsive "Melancholy" of Disco Nihilist. Perhaps none elicit as many feels as the enveloping opener from Leon Vynehall though.

As well as being a mesmeric mimic of accelerating down Bundesautobahn 5 at daybreak, "Midnight on Rainbow Road" got our Debut nod for three main reasons: firstly, it kicked off last year's sublime set from Gerd & Ata (so, about time); second, it's a welcome return for Mr Vynehall after a richly deserved breakout year; third, dude's got previous with N64 titling. And that's something we can all get behind.

Musik For Autobahns 2 is out in September. Pre-order it here: rushhourmusic.bandcamp.com (digital) + http://bit.ly/Autobahns_2 (physical)

Fatima Yamaha - The Creature From Culture Creation

'Sweet' is a scarily-infectious house jam. It's got a sumptuous R&B sample rotating throughout and when coupled with a killer groove and the damn mischievous percussion, you've got a contender for one of the best tracks of the year. Lovely stuff.

Premiere: Marquis Hawkes 'Sweet'

Akos Turzai aka Nova Gravity started his musical career in 2003. At the beginning under different names and genres, but he ended up by 4/4 beats music. In 2007 he joined the Lollipop Factory Budapest party organizer team, after that he became busy in the Hungarian electronic scene and played a lot on parties, radio shows or often on festivals and had some international gigs in European cities like Vienna, Dublin, Berlin. In 2009 he moved to Berlin and soon he was found by the Pink-Pong Booking Agency and Record Label. Lots of great gigs in Berliner clubs, open air parties and festivals. By the time his musical taste moved more to the German Techno, House and Psychedelic way and in 2012 the project Nova Gravity was born. In his music he is alway focusing on the flow driven by crystal clear progressive trippy sounds. After four years of living in Berlin he returned back to Budapest in 2013. He is sharing all the impressions he got from Berliner nightlife to the Hungarian scene. Since than he is running two monthly events, one called BAR 72 and the other one is Sine Wave.

NOVA GRAVITY - Live @ O.Z.O.R.A. 2015 Pumpui Stage

Here comes a new Red Stripe Disco delivery with this 12th delivery. It finally took around 1 year to collect the records for this new episode. I could have waited a bit more (not all of the wants were cleared from the wantlist) but I wanted to drop that one within this summer. I had some nice surprises on the way though, that I am happy to share with you with this new mix! 

As usual, the selection focuses on "reggae not reggae" stuffs from the 70's / early 80's - ranging from killer UK Lovers Rock to Disco & Boogie, even a couple of Rap stuffs, with a few nice covers on the way. All of the records selected are related to Jamaica and/or Reggae labels, with one exception being from Trinidad... 

I hope this new episode will please your ears & feet, and will be helping finishing this nice 2016 summer in the nicest way possible! 
I have already started the quest for a 13th mix, with some dope records already on the list!

Dutch producer Bas Bron aka Fatima Yamaha has been hammering out quality releases under numerous aliases for more than a decade now. Nevertheless it wasn’t until the 2015 re-issuing of his fourteen-year-old track ‘What’s A Girl To Do’ on Dekmantel Records, that his gush into the underground forefront has now exhilarated his unique talent. Fatima Yamaha starts of the 2017 year of Dekmantel Records with his second EP for the Amsterdam label and ‘Araya’ promises to be a worthy successor of his 2015 success.

The title track ‘Araya’ is the absolute eye catcher of this EP. Already tested in Fatima Yamaha’s highly anticipated live-sets in the last months, with great response, ‘Araya’ is a dramatic curtain raiser that only he can make. Next to that, Bron effectively spills his keen ear for melody on the A-side with his typical electro-funk with ‘Piayes Beach Bar And Grill’. On the flip crystalline synth drops, a classic piano and skipping drums are the main ingredients for ‘Romantic Bureaucracy’.

He Is The Voice I Hear’ is my first all new work since “Lady Of Sorrows.” It’s been a long journey from there to here. I’m so thrilled to continue the story and finally realize my dream of bringing together an ensemble of live musicians.

This record was a joy to create with my engineering and production partner, Rupert Murray, Davide Rossi on strings and Christoforo LaBarbera on keys. The vinyl was mastered and cut by Tim Xavier for Manmade Mastering.  We’ve also put some special touches into the design of the record itself. 

Incredible thanks to Adam Rowe, Andrew Gordon, Jake Nelson and everyone that helped make this record possible at all.

The Black Madonna - He Is The Voice I Hear

From Another Mind, the techno party and label from southern Germany, is putting out a pair of remix EPs in February. 

Version 004.1 and Version 004.2 are made of reworks of material that From Another Mind bosses SHDW and Obscure Shape have released across three EPs since launching the label in 2015. The lineup of remixers includes some of the biggest names in the business. Rødhåd leads off the first set, which also features James Ruskin, Dax J and Shlømo. Meanwhile, the second EP opens with a joint rework from Tale Of Us and Mind Against, with Inland, Ryan James Ford and Konstantin Sibold contributing as well. 

Both EPs will come on vinyl and digital formats, with separate cover artwork that's designed to sit next to each other.

This is the first of our new phase of releases, a collaborative project between the two titans Mr. G and K15. ‘A Learning Curve’ is exactly as the title suggests; an educational experience to understand each other musically and technically, and to explore new territories and schools of thought.
