Catalog #:	DU 001CD

"After almost four years of excellent, but rare, vinyl only releases, Canadian and German based electronic music label Dumb-Unit prepares to impress even more listeners with the debut of its mix CD, entitled Public Works. This compelling 65 minute mix features more than 20 songs all confidently, yet unobtrusively mixed from vinyl by international DJ and owner of Dumb-Unit, Jeremy P Caulfield. Appearances include: main Dumb-Unit artist Jake Fairley, Cologne based Falko Brocksieper & MIA of Sub-Static, Raumagent Alpha, Reynold of Paris, Repair, Adam Marshall and, of course, Jeremy Caulfield. Additionally 3 songs from the elusive uncut (Jake Fairley side project) 'Understanding the New Violence' 12 inch are present and featured in full form. From the rocking sound of 2004 to the minimal bleep and funk that Dumb-Unit first started with, Public Works is a smart and edgy summary to the sound of one of Canada's most successful minimal, techno and tech house labels."

Title:	Understanding The New Violence
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 009EP

"An uncompromising EP, only for the strong willed, and truly authentic. In the era of electro trash, relentless crappy 80's covers, fashion punks and assimilation, the Uncut represent the soul of the new electronic era. Post minimal-pre-pop, young and restless. The Uncut consists of Toronto-based artist and producers Jacob Fairley and Ian Worang. Encompassing a slight departure from the well-established Dumb-Unit sound, it is never the less one that will sit comfortable with those who dwell on the fringe and seek something different. Influences such as the icy post punk sounds of Joy Division, the trashy rock sprawl of The Stooges, the wall of sound of My Bloody Valentine, the clever intricacy of Television and the pop sensibilities of New Order meet the hyper-modernism of minimal techno by artists such as M. Mayer and Wolgang Voight."

Title:	Unicolour
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 011EP

"Who the fuck is deep anymore? Paris still is .. And this EP is about, true French minimal style, a stripped down late night beat-down. A moving, flexing, evolving track that builds into sweet hypnotic groove. Made for mixing, made for the system and made for the floor?but made for those occasions where you just need go deep or go home. Sam Reynold lays the foundation for the Unicolour EP in typical Parisian style; take smooth chords and tight beats that flow like red wine and mix it with a dirty funk that resonates louder than a sweaty Paris metro at rush hour. After a strong appearance as Duplex 100 on Popular Tools this winter, Sam Reynold gives the tag team a break and goes solo to drop his first EP for Canadian label Dumb-unit. An important member of Paris's minimal scene."

Title:	Runaway
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 012EP

"Over the last 2 years Jeremy has quietly infiltrated the ranks of the minimal and techno scenes by creating a rough, edgy and immediately recognizable sound. This modern, aggressive music with a keen sense of energy for the dance-floor has been featured on such labels as WMF and Trapez. Now he returns home to Dumb-Unit. Side a: deft baggage a haunting and driving track that begins as a dark and brittle mash up. Pitched up digital noise scratches away at the deft and tricky bass line. Then, in typical Canadian style the tracks opens up, and space becomes as important as sound. Quickly we enter into a deep and hypnotic foray into the new confident, Techno sound. Classic techno and minimal structures are adhered to, but the finished product is a polished modern track with Jeremy's tight drums and syncopated buzzes playing ping pong with the slow worbling pads. Side b: 'Slumberjack' already creating havoc on the circuit; 'Slumberjack' is just that: the monsters under the bed, the man behind the door. Pacing, patient and indifferent Slumberjack's apathy quickly transforms into a cold and calculated track. Each pad creeping up to the next, each drum and hi-hat snapping the other into place. Everything slowly creating the groove, no outrageous edits, no filtered vocals just a tight weave of dry clicking Techno, bass heavy tech-house and rocking sawwave minimal."

Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 013EP

"The prolific Mr Fairley drops 3 of his latest concoctions on Dumb Unit, and the leading track is a club stormer. 'Boozing' is a riff laden techno number with a squashy main synth line that modulates throughout the track and delivers and accessible and heavy club track. There are 2 more cuts on the flip, of the deep techy variety, minimal synths, clean sub bass lines and deft production deliver these polished and quality tracks from Mr Fairley, check."

"Let's just say this is one mean mother of a track off one mean mother of an album. A gianormous onslaught of crisp thick and fat analogue warmth set to hot rock shuffle with trademark Jake edge through and through. There are those that try to rock and then there are those that succeed and this time Kake sinks the boat ...Take that and add 2 smoking remixes by 2 artists at the top of their game; Metope and Pan/Tone, and what you get is a ep that hits harder than a fat greasy linebacker .. Super size it ..."

Title:	Touch Not the Cat
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	DU 016LP

German-only vinyl version (CD is on the Paper Bag label in N. America). "A gianormous onslaught of crisp, thick and fat analog warmth set to hot rock shuffles and driving techno with trade mark Jake edge through and through. Managing to find grooves, hooks and energy in the most unusual places , Touch Not the Cat Demonstrates Jake's strength not only as a techno programmer but also as a first rate producer and songwriter. In the era of cold flat recordings Jake's studio knowledge and passion for heavy hitting sounds is a much needed respite. Touch Not the Cat is an intricate and precise yet somehow more direct and uncompromised album, one that will no doubt send minimal computer wimps running for their mothers. Warm, full and fatter than a bus load of North American tourists Touch Not the Cat is an album that demonstrates the diversity of today's music as well as Jake's uncanny ability take it farther than most can imagine..."

"The long nights of a fading summer fall over mother Russia.. Deep in the heart of Moscow a secret society has been brewing : Midiots. Leaders of the Moscow new school. After their recent foray on Triebstoff they return to deliver two buzz-funk smashes for Dumb-Unit. Two heavy hitting tracks that will touch even the most tainted raver's heart. Strong leads, powerful drums and intricate yet smooth programming push these two songs into primetime status. Rocking, discoid hypnotism mixed with bass passion and forward shake. What else can we say. Future perfect thinking."

Title:	Animal Love
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 019EP

"Heavy building songs of epic chords and sound washes over some of the fattest analog bass around. Mix this with Jake's syncopated distortion and smart drumming and what you get is smooth, strong dancefloor mayhem. A1 'Racoondog' is an epic anthem in the tune of Mad Max ... imagine dirty future ravers wearing crazy fur outfits holding torches and having sex and I think you'll get a good picture ... gritty low rumblings mash into a strong reverbed sound wash that chugs away until the sun comes up. B1 'Catsquirrel' is our idea of what modern music should be. Strong, dark, catchy and a bit twisted. Jake manages to create a modern pop burner without need for over-used one finger melodies . Instead Jake builds his song into layers of slow growling bass that converges slowly until it smacks you in the face and steals your wallet. Response to his most recent lives sets have had an overwhelming response -- 'Catsquirrel' is sure to be a household pet very soon."

Title:	Detached 2
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	DU 020CD

"Named after an old DJ mix first made and handed out on cassette back in the mid 90's, Detached [05] is a continuation of Jeremy's trademark sound and style; deep thumpy minimal with a dark heady edge. It's a sound continuously remodeled by the healthy roster included on this mix, a diverse gathering of both renown and upcoming minimal artists. A compelling and colourful mix with pieces molding, weaving and cutting through themselves Detached 2 chugs along, while Jeremy's disciplined programming keep the mix fluid and tight. From the rolling slink and grind of the Wighnomy Brother's opening epic 'Pele Bloss' to the dark pushy beats of Metope's 'Second Skin, metallic, cut up drums do battle with tumbling bubbly basslines. Seamlessley, Jeremy blends deep and emotional songs into straight up jacking grooves. The likes of John Tejada's rubbery house, Frank Martique's industrial minimal, or Jeff Samuel's classic Swing, blend deep into pieces such as M.I.A.'s cinematic 'Sweet November.' A pushing yet satisfying DJ mix and one with countless more highlights to mention. A worthy endevour that effortlessly keeps the mind and behind in motion."

Title:	Grotbox Remixes
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 021EP

"Appearing on Dumb-Unit to transform the super tight 'Grotbox' from DU 018 into a sprawling, dark summer masterpiece are Glasgow's Alex Smoke and Germany's Frank Martiniq. Starting from his favourite position, down in the dirt, where the smallest pieces of tracks grow, Mr. Smoke builds a sinister story out of the bit and cuts of Jeremy's original. Slowly mangling the pieces until his trademark bass and and reverb washes drown out any relation to the original until all of a sudden it returns to deliver the final blow. Next in line is the precision king, the German from Neumuenster; Frank Martiniq. Like Smoke, Frank digs deep to find the right pieces to build his theory. Slightly tribal, slightly low fi but still swinging hypnotic tech-house, Frank's mix is an excursion into layered drums and washes of digital noise."

Catalog #:	DU 022EP

"Following up his successful Cavalcade EP Jeremy P Caulfield returns with more dirty, dry, minimal! Yes ..the international style ... dirty and imperfect minimal, with a devilish grin, its nastiness is what makes you want more. A release of warm analogue randomness crunched and twisted through digital realms, creating an EP that is full of texture, tension and character. Once again Jeremy delivers an uncompromising EP of future-forward funk. One part techno, one part minimal, this is a powerful hybrid of an EP that will resonate deep into the night. 'Flipperkicker' is a tough minimal workout, square waves do battle with distorted lead lines and cut up drums all fighting for attention and a place in your heart. Tight percussive bleeps echo as they grow more full and complex until their randomness creates a tight moving pattern with a growling underbelly . This is a stiff track with a good aftertaste. Enjoy responsibly. 'Wreckroom': is a more sedate yet no less endearing song, befitting to the B-side, it is the softer smarter brother of it's mean and dirty older sibling. More epic and directional than 'Flipperkicker' it carries us through noise washes and crunched sounds into a deep yet hidden chorus. A chorus that bounces and bleeps its way around until it empties itself into a smooth flowing breakdown. A brawny number with a sensitive soul and nice knickers..."

Catalog #:	DU 023EP

"A mainstay of the Mutek stable and one of the key members of the infamous Montreal mob, Mike rides into town alone for this devastating showdown. Delivering 3 ultra-tight trax of focused funk, Shannon shows that he is on his way to becoming one of Canada's most wanted. Stripped down, laid back, but always pushing, 'For a Few Euros More' is the high noon showdown, every man for himself kind of affair. Here we witness Mike's uncanny ability to make the most out of reduced pallette and maximize it in the best of ways. Precise yet still loose and flowing it is an EP that will move even the most hardened old timer. With one foot firmly planted in the school of tight Montreal swing and the other deep in the history of Detroit and American techno; Shannon manipulates and builds his own brand of forward-thinking fusion. Tight, uncompromising and unique; 'For a Few Euros More' is ready to add fuel to your fire. When and where is up to you."

Title:	Dead Between the Ears
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 024EP

"Sweet N' Candy is Rico Henshel, a man with an uncanny ability to open the hood and tweak that tech engine till it roars. While others go for the fat, Rico opts for skinning that creature bare and using its bones to make a stripped down funk jam. Every sound is there for a reason, every bleep to make a point. 'Dead Between the Ears' is a sugar rush that snaps better than crackle and pops better than anything else your parents wouldn't let you eat. Keep the Ritalin close at hand because all this sugar will send most kids off the chart."

Title:	On the Ket
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 025EP

"Hailing from the infamous American heartland of St. Louis Butane, aka Andrew Rasse, is quickly developing a name for deep dark and tripped out minimal madness. In a little less than 3 releases Butane has impressed the world with his advanced take on modern minimal. 'On the Ket' has been floating around as a limited white label for a little bit. In this short span of time it's already been licensed to the upcoming Luciano mix CD for the sci fi hi series on Soma. Additionally, dignitaries of techno such as Michael Mayer are quoted as saying 'Butane is hot. He's doing some of the most upfront minimal stuff these days. 'On the Ket' is darn sexy. Dirty dancing on a more abstract level.' 'Nuff said."

Artist:	GIGLI, GIORGIO
Title:	Rarefied Atmosphere
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 026EP

"Rarefied Atmosphere is the brainchild of Giorgio Gigli, another key member of the expanding Roman techno empire. Part of the Rome-based minimal house label Electronica Romana, Giorgio demonstrates that there is a new sound emerging from deep within the heart of Italy. 'I Can't Breathe' is a deep extended journey to the soul of this sound. A complex but uncomplicated engineering of firm syncopated beats. It dumps you deep into the depths of tough but tender hypnotism. All while jacking you forward with the slightest of hand. Crisp hi-hats and tough pulses give this beast some stripped down bite at all the right points. There is a feeling of early Plus 8 but with a dedicated commitment to remain firmly in the future. Now flip over and what's this: Num and Cadenza front man Lee Van Dowski like you have never heard him before. Lee's remix is a disciplined and focused take on the original. Almost brutal in it's coldness it quickly warms up layer by layer to become a muted calculation in euphoria."

Title:	Unbreakable Remixes
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 027EP

"We all know what a nice little hit our Berliner friend Sweet n' Candy delivered in November, the track was called 'Unbreakable' and like a snow ball packed with gravel it left a nice dent in the head. So now it's time we give it up for two great remixers who add their own cold and calculated take to the mix. Justin Maxwell delivers a post rave micro anthem that is tough and tender in all the right spots. Oh and he works with John Tejada all the time. Next up another bunch of tough Berliners... Exercise One, the up and coming duo from Kreuzberg, the greyest, and grittiest of all Berlin burbs. Deep from the depths of their studio they mash up 'Unbreakable' into a straight jacking floor filler. A solid sense of groove mixed with layers of creative effects makes for one effective track."

Title:	Soft Gum Switches
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 028EP

"Soft Gum Switches is the innocent name of this lethal EP that comes flying in straight outta Moscow. Filled with enough energy to fuel a rush of euphoria on the dance floor both tracks manage to move you without playing it cheap. Smartly and well produced you can call it 'micro-rave' -- classic future techno at its best. Super tight, thicker than goulash and pushing harder than a drunken mule. These two Russian cowboys shot a double bulls-eye. 'BVoice' is a veteran of the Moscow scene and has already given us some pleasure as one half of the 'Midiots'. This time he teamed up with one of Moscow's most promising live-acts and producers 'Killaherz'. They play Russian roulette with six bullets in the cylinder."

Title:	Duo-Deno EP
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 029EP

"Put away that dried instant crap from the shelf -- this is crisp driving minimal ala Bolognese! The real deal with fresh and tasty ingredients dismissing the conservatives. A nice ensemble of elements charming your senses with enough spice to give it a special flavor but not too heavy for a sunny day of whistling at ladies. Cooked up by two promising mama's boys from Italy the two tracks approach you with a laid-back attitude. Gradually they grow bigger and stronger 'til you notice that they are kicking you harder than a mob boss' bodyguard...Yow...'Perisatlsi' starts in a dark environment and gains momentum with every new sound flying in. Constantly shifting from filled soundscapes to the opposite spectrum of leaving lots of space for the song to breathe."

Title:	Tumble-Dry
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 030EP

"Here comes the Dumb-Unit boss and if you think he's playing it obvious -- hell no! Music stripped to the core to fit that one perfect occasion in the set. Jeremy gets rid of anything unnecessary and grabs the essence of certain moments to cut them into vinyl. The A-side comes along with a warm attitude, slightly uncharacteristic for JPC but it seduces you mildly like a tanned vixen on the beach. Put that hammock up and you should both jump in. What were we saying about beach music awhile ago? Well, forget it. Already caned at Bar 25 and other outdoor spots to warm blown kisses from the ladies. If you think that little is happening...listen again...tight shifting sounds, off kilter toms swirl through space and invite you to join the trip. But beware. The seas get rough after nightfall. The B-side shows the true force behind this storm's eye: darkness. Typical for the Dumb-Unit captain this track finds its foundation in a deep and dark environment, rough seas and crashing whitewater. Soon it begins to twist you deeper than a whirlpool and the undercurrent pulls down further into layers of bright reverbs and washes."

Title:	Dirty Gotches
Label:	DUMB-UNIT (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 031EP

"After locking himself up in the studio for quite some time, Sweet 'n Candy is back to settle the score. Dirty Gotches are three versatile and ferocious tracks that pack more punch than a swift kick to the you-know-where. All tracks are set in the same atmosphere but show their strength in small tactical ways. He's the thinking-man's thug. The A-side invites the listener to join the Sweet 'n Candy where he whips out a 360 flip off the top rope with a swift elbow to the jugular all while flipping you the bird. On B1 he goes a bit deeper and is digging in a more hypnotic turf. But beware, it still slams harder than Jimmy SuperFly Snooka off the top rope. Finally, could the real gem, the finishing move, the folding chair to the face, the hidden brass knuckles, be the B2? We think it might, but to find out you'll have to get on your tights and get in the ring!"

"The Burger Boy EP: In honor of the infamous Latvian saint of the filthy and depraved. Who better to shine his beacon of light and hope on our sordid scene of superabundance... He comes because he is needed not because he is wanted. Could there be a better time? A quote from the Book of Burger .. 'We are all lewd licentious creatures of fraternized fornication. So ready to accept invitation to any bender, binge, or blowout that stumbles our way.. Open, without quam to any orgy of hell-bent overindulgence. We are all lustful high-livers with morals no greater than you common plague ridden field mouse.. We are awash in a circus of tearful splurge. I deliver this EP to you in hopes that in it's darkest recesses you will find light, in it's washes of reverb and sparse percussion you will find resolution and its tormented hypnotism you will find your way home come Monday.. Go forth and may you find solace till tomorrow tears you a new toot'. Wise words indeed.. and an inspirational EP for the most jaded of downtrodden dancers."

"The Argentinian invasion is upon us and we are more than happy to invite them to play. First one up to join the DU sandbox is Alejandro Vivanco. He is one of the protagonists to watch as he has proven his talent on previous releases and delivers his next treat with his Terapia EP. A straight solid groove sets the foundation from where he builds his musical construction and on top he adds some sympathetic weirdness to create this certain twist we enjoy. He is surely one of the bigger drops of this bucket of talent that is pouring over us from Argentina -- a land which is about to rearrange the texture of the minimal-Neverland. But who can be surprised? Folks with such good steak are destined for world domination..."

Catalog #:	DU 034CD

Toronto-to-Berlin export Jeremy P Caulfield, the respected and prolific tech/house DJ, returns with Detached Works, representing the next installment in the long-standing Detached mix series. Caulfield, along with a close faction of other DJs, was responsible for building Toronto's rich techno scene through the late '90s. Transplanting himself to Berlin in late 2003, he teamed up with a new label partner Ingo Gansera, and a new synergy emerged. Since then, the two have quietly woven the Dumb-Unit label deep into the city's rich electronic music scene, to serve as an outlet for a newly emerging attitude. Since the start of his DJ career, Jeremy has developed a dedicated following by always keeping his style fresh yet firmly locked into his trademark dark, brooding hypnotism. The same goes with the label, although many of the artists are spread onto other imprints, for Dumb-Unit they have often sculpted a darker more stalking brand of techno. Hence the name, not clinging to one scene or sound. Here now is a first attempt to capture the many different levels and moods of Dumb-Unit, as well as Jeremy's DJing together in one CD package. CD1 is a straightforward concept: collect some of the best Dumb-Unit tracks of the last 2 years and put them together on CD for all to take pleasure in. CD2 is a larger undertaking but with no different goal: through his tight network of international friends, Jeremy has compiled an arresting mix of the highest caliber. Mixed on two turntables but using Serato Scratch technology, Jeremy has scoured his acquaintances' hard drives and MP3 promo pools and begged them to let him use what he found. The result is a mix that is as fresh as he could get, without bootlegging it. Filled to the brim with notable up-and-comers as well as a bevy of household names, Detached is a targeted examination of some of the most prodigious pockets of musical talent arising the world over. Modern music for modern times. Artists include: Sweet'n Candy, Butane, Touane & Nuel, Bvoice & KHZ Exercise One. Alejandro Vivanco, Osvaldo, Jorge Savoretti, Ryan Crosson, Seuil, Italoboyz (feat. James What), Barem, Seth Troxler, Lee Curtiss, Uli Kunkel, Matt Star, Kai Mann + Neal White, George Serge, Franco Cinelli, Shonky, Axel Bartsch, 3Channels, Lineas de Nazca and Mare & Solaris.

Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	DU 035EP

The fruits of a more laid back studio approach can be heard on the stellar Jeremy P. Caulfield EP, Lacewing Puff. Using the studio to refine ideas he hears and plays on the road, Jeremy approached the A-side with the firm aim to keep it throbbing, deep and to the point. The result is a sublime, hypnotic and dark micro anthem. "Licorice Pipe" is the darker twin of the two. Dirty, wet and full of funk, this track sweats and pants harder than a 200-pound Marmaduke. Not so focused on a big dancefloor, Jeremy still constructs a complex rhythmic track that brave and mighty DJs will surely play to the disheveled morning masses.

Lee Curtiss has been forging his uniquely backwoods, yet avant-garde and primal brand of deep and twisted dance music since the late 1990s. Growing up between the two poles of Chicago and Detroit organized Lee's approach to production squarely between the grooving, deep house sounds of artists like Derrick Carter, Ricardo Villalobos, Zip (aka Dimbiman), Matthew Dear and Richie Hawtin. Lee's "fuck trends, fuck dance music, and fuck me" approach to producing and performing only the strongest of stomachs and most iron-clad of minds can withstand.

A core artist on the Dumb-Unit roster since 2006, Seph's intricate, intelligent style of techno has consistently impressed fans of forward-thinking electronic music, with his exceptional sound design skills gaining him a devoted cult following across a wide range of scenes and subgenres. The culmination of two years' work, Alquimia (meaning "alchemy" in English) sees Seph building on the constrained abstractions of his previous work, harnessing a wide range of styles, ideas and moods across ten varied yet coherent tracks. As its title suggests, there's an alchemy at work here -- a mysterious blend of disparate ingredients, selected and refined by Seph to create a full-length work that consistently beguiles and bedazzles, operating both at the heart of the dancefloor, and far beyond it, too. Featuring guest artists Pablo Denegri and Qik & Dilo.
