The Calm Before The Storm EP

The tracks on this record were originally produced in 1993 and 1994 by Julius Weiland. Before becoming a visual artist he released house and ambient tracks under the name „Julius“ and other aliases. Deeply influenced by early Chicago House and Detroit Techno he developed his own style and sound. This is his second release on No Acting Vibes and it‘s bringing back some of his sought after tracks on vinyl again. (All tracks produced by Julius Weiland, Basic Paradise“ coproduced by Tom Gawlik“.)

We are excited to share with you Ahaad 005. This time from Ukrainian producer & DJ, Cheise. This fifth release is a special four track EP that explores ambient, downtempo and IDM electronics. This is Cheise first exploration of downtempo electronica and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Pressed on 180 gram and another high quality sleeve.

Closer residents pay tribute to the Lesnoy Prichal.

For the latest instalment in Phonica's Special Edition series, we present a stunning reinterpretation of Tomaga's 'Intimate Immensity' by Floating Points and Marta Salogni.They collaborate again on the B-side 'A Call From The Eaves'.All profits from the sale of this record will go to the Free Youth Orchestra, a charity set up in Tom Relleen's name which focuses on removing financial barriers between children and access to musical equipment, by providing instruments and free workshops run by local musicians.

Saramago debuts on Lisbon’s Carpet & Snares with four slices of deep and groove-laden house. This is an EP of contrasts, the light skip of the A side shadowed by the more driving pulse of the B. Opening with the dubby, weightless house of ‘The Red Room’, Saramago then treats us to a wiggly banger in “Unicorn”, sure to melt today’s dancefloors. ‘Sakaboto’ takes things into darker territory with a focussed acid groove that opens up halfway through with twinkling pads. ‘Happy Endings’ rounds things off with funk and flair, another sure-fire peak-time bumper.
