"The first release from Berceuse Heroique arrived at the Honest Jon's basement the 21st of April, we didn't sell it until the next day, though, 'cause we don't like all that RSD bullshit. This April we wanted to celebrate 5 years since that day, with our 50th release, but manufacturing records is becoming a very weird place where time and deadlines don't exist. So, today we are releasing 3 new tunes by our dear friend Florian aka Don't DJ and a remix from one of our favourite artists ever, Mr. Newworldaquarium. It's properly cut on two 12"s (180g vinyl as always) and properly mastered by our favourite mastering engineer, CGB of the D & M crew."

"Out briefly on Berceuse, Zibaldone III Of CVX is the third in a series of releases from London-via-Mallorca based artist Rupert Clervaux, after two instalments issued via London's Laura Lies In -- both available in the form of custom-made dubplates. Inspired by the unique format and flow of 'zibaldone' -- the Italian equivalent to commonplace books made famous by Giacomo Leopardi's eponymous masterpiece, Clervaux's multi-angle audio mosaics merge fragments from various fields such as literature, philosophy, poetry, psychology, history, politics and more."

"Imagine the beauty of a peak time Sade production in the days when pop could be massive and inventive, with some Sly & Robbie voodoo magic from their 80's pop production. Imagine if the brilliance of an Andrew Weatherall remix in the 90's could meet with the melancholy of Roedelius. Summer is officially here. Deal with it and get loose with this one."

"Monrella, aka Mick Harris, the man that invented the blast beat and one of the most crucial members of the seminal band Napalm Death. He experimented with a lot of styles of music afterwards (notably, Scorn, Lull and Fret) but back 1996 he took the template of Detroit techno, added some Birmingham grit and Monrella was born. Proper Birmingham motor funk straight from the House Of God (seminal Birmingham club night) school of debauchery. Remastered and ready to continue its journey, slaying dancefloors."

"With a host of great 12" singles already attributed to this moniker, the Bristol based producer nails his third effort for Berceuse Heroique, again demonstrating the broad palette and eclectic approach to genre that keeps his techno explorations varied and compelling. As adept in building and pushing the pulse, as he is in letting it dissolve amidst more ambient pieces, this is definitely a name for techno heads to keep on their radar." --Vinyl Factory.

" 'Japonaiserie was the term the Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh used to express the influence of Japanese art. Artists including Manet, Degas and Monet, followed by Van Gogh, began to collect the cheap colour wood-block prints called ukiyo-e prints.' A mini LP by Benoit B, the boss of Banlieue Records, on which he creates a futuristic environment influenced by the Japanese electronics of the '80s. A musical 'Japanaiserie' that can melt your cold cold heart."

"The industrial project of Oliver Ho and Tommy Gillard at its most subversive and evocative, with two preoccupations threaded throughout: Middle-Eastern percussion, most vivid in the chimes of 'Casting' and the driving doumbek rhythms of 'Burning' and 'The Sands'; and the structural iteration of chaos, underlying a collage of wild left-turns, scornful of repetitive hooks and other musical routines. Early birds bag a 7" by Ho's 'Desert Burials', evoking classic punk/funk hybrids like Cabaret Voltaire."

"This deadly Berlin-New Jersey nexus back in action, reinforced by the mighty Shifted. 'F Planet' itself is an in-for-the-kill stomper, husky and frantic, its sizzling bass and clanky hats inexorably dissolving in a sulphuric alarm of distortion and haywire bleeps. 'Astral Pilot' ties you into a swirl of frequencies, rhythms and mechanical growling, before finally disentangling itself into some kind of cosmic lift-off. On the flip, grimly tightening the bolts, setting the controls inwards, and darkening and thickening its atmospheres into a kind of gut-churning possession, Shifted makes F Planet all his own."

"Loud E is undoubtedly one of our biggest heroes in this label and of course one of the most underrated artists in this god forsaken planet. The first time I saw this man mixing disco records was in Athens and I will never forget that night. The Discos Paradiso crew is calling him the 'Jeff Mills Of Disco' and if you ever see this man on a good night, the description is not very far away from the truth. Also, Loud E is the hybrid between an amazing collector of music and a proper DJ that knows how to use these records for major dancefloor impact. The Intergalactic FM crew knows this man really well cause his mixes for Interr-Ference are quite legendary (go to the Intergalactic FM shop and buy them, they are definitely better that some of the mix CDs that I see these days). In 2008 he released Loudiefied, an LP of some of his favourite edits. We picked four of our favourite ones and we created this EP to shed some light to this man cause if we have to be honest, we love underrated guys like him. What can we say, we just adore the misfits that never sold their soul to an energy drink. Four disco bangers that will destroy your disco session and will definitely put a smile on the face of the most cynical DJ."

"This is a strictly Bristol affair. Ossia comes back after his last deep and spiritual journey for Berceuse Heroique and this time he is vexed. He cooked this tasty stew of hardcore, grime and dancehall and it bangs like a motherfucker. African Head Charge on bloody steroids bruv. On the b-side, one of our favourite producers the last few years, badman Lurka took this mission to harness the wild style of Ossia and let me tell you something, this mercenary doesn't fuck around. Heavy electro vibes with the precision of Photek when he was gracing us with tunes like 'Ni Tien Itch Ryu'. Scorched Earth Policy with this one"

Watch out for 'The Centre Of Time', evoking over its twenty minutes both the arctic vapour of 'Vletrmx21'-vintage Autechre and the expansiveness of Vangelis in full flight. Next-level stuff from Berceuse Heroique."

"Ace four-tracker. 'Caves' was created in the aftermath of a devastating set by DJ Stingray, and sounds like it: storming but funky, infused with the spirit of classic Detroit techno. 'Spacetown' marries Arpanet and John Carpenter, with a saturnine melody which sticks in the mind. Flip it for a deadly 'Caves' remix by man-of-the-year Convextion, inimitably sci-fi but banging; and the elemental, ambient accomplishment of 'The Strips,' consolidating the promise on show throughout."

JV's signature spaced-out production assures a head-turning dancefloor banger for the 4am crew. 'Adam & Eve' is an intriguing mix of exotica and Arthur Russell.

"Dan Davies aka Ossia is a mainstay of the Bristol scene. He runs labels like Fuck Punk, No Corner and Peng Sound, and he's a member of Young Echo. His Blackest Ever Black debut triumphantly grafted the industrial experimentalism of Richard H Kirk onto West Country bass culture. This, his second Berceuse Heroique, goes deepest yet; pithier but more widescreen, with fresh touches of jungle and bashment to its dread spirituality. The dubs in particular are a bleak treat. Spiffily presented 180g vinyl, with a natty poster designed by Alex Digard, from the Tape Echo crew."

"Morah's first release came from Helena Hauff's Return To Disorder label and this time the Athenian producer takes the same techno and electro sound and goes completely berserk for Berceuse Heroique. Morah creates some huge waves of feedback on ?Anarchy', which sounds like a techno version of Metal Machine Music, then he takes the old school Viewlexx sound and makes it even more confrontational, on 'You Said No' and 'Impasse'. 'Looking Back' is a beautiful, melancholic - but still very dysfunctional - version of the death of a rave. One of the strongest points of this new producer is that his music sounds like the city of Athens right now: Raw energy mixed with manic depression and pessimism."

"On his first release for Berceuse Heroique, Rotterdam's finest DJ Overdose meets one of the strongest producers of Detroit, Mr. OB Ignitt. Overdose creates the best soundtrack for a ?march of the robots' scene with Dead City. The mighty bounce of early Dr. Dre productions meets some nasty electro carnage. On 'Sorry To Disappoint' you can hear the classic West Coast electro sound of some of his older releases mixed with some funky sci-fi synth lines. Then, OB Ignitt takes this monster of a tune and creates one of the gnarliest house tunes of this year with a proper G Funk bassline that will properly test your sound system on a good night."

"Koehler returns to Berceuse Heroique with his third release for the label. 'Contra Blood' invokes the spirit of early No U Turn records, infusing some techno dynamics, creating a very interesting anthem for people who don't care about boundaries in dance music. 'Flammarion Breach' combines his classic 'ardcore techno sound with a repetitive arpeggio that recalls the tension of some of the best film scores by John Carpenter. With 'Rotating Rupees', Koehler delivers another beautiful ambient tune and this time its his ode to Zelda."
