Artist: MOELLER, BRENDON
Title: Escape EP
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 001EP
Brendon Moeller's seamless integration of genres along with an accomplished production style have garnered him much critical acclaim and a worldwide fanbase. This first release on Brendon's own imprint features 4 strong house tracks that possess all the groove and atmosphere necessary to keep heads bobbin' and feet tappin'. From the jazzy and disco-infused title-track to the techier electro bounce of "Phazed & Confused," this EP is solid all round.


Artist: ECHOLOGIST
Title: Snow Blower EP
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 002EP
Under his Echologist moniker, Brendon Moeller offers up four slabs of massive, dancefloor-oriented techno. The EP kicks off with the unrelenting and funky dub techno workout, "Dirt," its background white noise reverberating and ricocheting, creating an irresistible flow. Next is the sub-aquatic "Giant," with a wall of sound reminiscent of volcanic lava flowing downhill. "Swell" is a nod to Maurizio, but with a shoegazing feel that's as psychedelic as techno gets. "Ritual" is a DJ tool with crisp, oscillating synths.


Artist: BEAT PHARMACY
Title: Pump
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 003EP
Beat Pharmacy is the dubby and eclectic project of Brendon Moeller. Chugging along at 120bpm, underpinned by a thick sub-dub bass line and a modulating Maurizio-style synth chord arpeggio, "Pump" is a hypnotic slab of deep house. Swirling Rhodes keyboards and a slick piano riff counterpoint the swinging funk of the hi-hat groove. Stephen Hitchell aka Intrusion's remix is a warehouse-style DJ tool with a psychedelic keyboard hook. Bearweasel takes a similar approach, except with a more pronounced beat track, creating a trippy atmosphere.


Artist: MANABOO
Title: Unhuh
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 004EP
Manaboo is the duo of Brendon Moeller and Shigeru Tanabu, whose guitar antics can be heard on many a Beat Pharmacy track. It is the duo's mutual love of jazz, dub and techno that is the inspiration for this EP. "Unhuh" features lilting pads that ebb & flow among crackling embers and a disco beat. "Utopia" sounds like snorkling through a bubbling and squeaking coral reef, "Morpheen" is a deep, jazzy, bitchin' brew, and "Bluetrane" is a nod to John Coltrane, for the deeper side of night.


Artist: SHANE, BILLY
Title: Runner
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 005EP
Brooklyn's Billy Shane presents a release that is firmly rooted in raw techno. From the chunky dub-tech funk of "Runner" to the lush, beautifully-orchestrated "Hole" and "Fach," Billy's attention to detail as well as his instincts as a DJ are clearly apparent. With a big thumbs-up from Ben Klock already, this release should put Shane firmly on the map. Steadfast owner Brendon Moeller offers up a solid rework of "Runner" under his Echologist guise.


Artist: ECHOLOGIST
Title: Slow Burn
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 006EP
Under his Echologist moniker, Brendon Moeller presents Slow Burn. The original mix is a lush slice of ambient techno that immediately sucks you into its subby, atmospheric realm where chords and pads playfully bounce off one another. The dub version is a much trippier and spaced-out mix. The B-side features a stellar remix from London's techno/dubstep talent, Sigha. His trademark psychedelic techno leanings shine through as he delivers just over 8 minutes of dub techno that is destined to hypnotize dancefloors worldwide.


Artist: LIGHTNESS
Title: Burning Mercury
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 007EP
Lightness is a collaborative project comprising Brendon Moeller (Beat Pharmacy & Echologist) and Area. "Burning Mercury (Metal)" is a supremely hypnotic slice of dubby house with a bass line and hook that chug along effortlessly with a low-slung swagger that's guaranteed to seduce. The B-side mix goes deep -- really, really DEEP. The 8 locked groove DJ tools are vinyl-only exclusives that are sure to put a grin on the faces of all vinyl jocks.


Artist: AREA
Title: Tangled In
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 009EP
Chicago-based Area's first artist release on Steadfast fuses genres and eras into distinctive, driving productions. The vocal-driven A-side features bass swagger, heavy syncopation, and spacious dub darkness. The original version is a slow-building, trippy, club-oriented joint. The "Bonus Level" version twists the claustrophobic atmosphere with a Chicago-bred bass line-driven jack beat. There is also a sensational remix of Echologist's "Dirt." The release concludes with a beatless version of "Tangled In," focusing on the textures and vocals from the original.


Artist: ECHOLOGIST
Title: Subterranean
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: CD
Price: $15.50
Catalog #: SFV 010CD
Brendon Moeller aka Echologist and Beat Pharmacy needs no introduction. His work with numerous fine labels such as François K's Deep Space Media, Ann Aimee, Rekids, Mule, Echocord, Third Ear, Electric Deluxe, Ostgut Ton, to mention but a few, speaks for itself. Whether it be serious dancefloor bizniz, or dubbed-out bass-scapes and experimentalism, his music has always possessed a quality and signature that continues to captivate a worldwide audience. This is his seventh full-length album. Subterranean is a deeply narcotic listening experience. Subtly evolving atmospheres, hypnotic sub-bass lines, reverb-soaked drones and lush, vibrating textures abound. All elements possess their own pulse and cadence, but stay in sync to create an otherworldly sub-aquatic experience. The album gently ebbs and flows as exquisite modulations and articulations create a mesmerizing ambience that is at times as propulsive as it is passive. Minimal without being clichéd, dubby without being played-out, repetitive without being dull. This is not music to be analyzed, it is to be felt, both physically via the bass tones and emotionally via the haunting ambience. Seemingly endless, the meditative soundscapes here are not merely indolence but rather a quest for the feverish outer limits of spacious bliss. Shoegaze techno?


Artist: FURESSHU
Title: Downstate
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 011EP
Furesshu's music leans closer to its Teutonic influences and particularly house-oriented sounds, but all the same, Furesshu is far from an imitator or scene outsider. With vocal and consistent support from Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock and Levon Vincent, among many others, Furesshu finds himself in the company of techno's best and brightest. "Downstate" is a hypnotic slice of big room techno that's bound to solidify this man's vision. Brendon Moeller remixes under his Echologist guise and adds funked-out acidic psychedelia.


Artist: INCYDE
Title: Telophase
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 012EP
Originally from outside Boston, Incyde first became involved in electronic music through his work at Hotflush Recordings while living in London, where he began playing at clubs and radio shows around the city's thriving dubstep scene. In 2008 he moved to NYC and became a resident DJ of Dub War. Incyde melts and reshapes broken beats and bass into his own signature concoctions. If otherworldly futuristic beat & bass explorations are what you're after, look no further. Early DJ support from Appleblim, Scuba, Dave Q and Brendon Moeller.


Artist: LIONS OF JUDAH
Title: Rhythmatism
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 013EP
Steadfast Records presents three smoking tracks of deep, chunky techno from a collaborative project featuring John Daly and the mystery man known as 19.454.18.5.25.5.18... Actually, it seems like there's only two tracks, but if you weren't blazed enough to forget 19.454.18.5.25.5.18's (wtf?) deep RA podcast, you should smoke this.


Artist: CLEMENTI, ROBERTO
Title: Stage 1
Label: STEADFAST RECORDS
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: SFV 014EP
Roberto Clementi hails from a small town in Italy. His tunes range from deep and lush to uplifting and party-pumping -- often fueled by minimal subby basslines, retro-ish melodic elements, elegantly cut-up vocals, and an overall warm, analog feel. His debut EP for Steadfast features three techno tracks ranging in mood and atmosphere but all sharing a perfect dancefloor sensibility and top-notch production. Brendon Moeller's reshape ain't half bad either.
