A Beladen Date 4 Ever
A Beladen Date 4 Ever - (10:45) 128 BPM
Transport Fighter - (9:41) 133 BPM Hot
Review: Baby Ford's Trelik label is as revered as they come in underground circles. Ion Ludwig is not far behind when it comes to his productions and so the two are a perfect match who reunite once more here. Things kick off with the brain cleansing minimalism of 'A Beladen Date 4 Ever', a silky groove doused in harmonic chords, with swirling pads and rubbery bass all tightly intertwining. 'Transport Fighter' is a more punchy cut with thudding kicks and heftier bass, but still a nebulous eco-system of pads and melodies swirling around up top. Two killer cuts. no doubt.

Law Of Grace - (10:45) 128 BPM Hot
Meltdown - (6:29) 130 BPM
Lady Science (Tek mix) - (5:48) 130 BPM
Review: As Soul Capsule, Baby Ford and Thomas Melchior made some of minimal techno's most accomplished records. It has been many years since they stopped turning out new material - sadly - but their archive tracks are still in hot demand and undeniably relevant. While 1999's 'Lady Science' might be their most famous offering, this EP from 2001 on Aspect Music is no less vital. It is Ford's Trelik label who reissues it here in all its glory. 'Law Of Grace' is a delightfully deep and breezy minimal dub house roller with pensive chords draped over the frictionless drums. 'Meltdown' has a more experimental feel with brushed metal drums beneath a wordless vocal musing. The cult 'Lady Science' (Tek Mix) is also inched with the whole package being remastered by D&M to make this one utterly essential.

Memory Motions EP
The Giver - (9:50) 128 BPM
Memory Motions - (7:37) 126 BPM Hot
Tuned - (5:27) 128 BPM
Review: Mystical dreamweaver Edward has previously brought out some of his classiest club-tooled gear for Trelik, with 2018's Rumours EP being a particular highlight in his glittering career in minimal. Breaking a protracted silence for Baby Ford's label, this three-tracker once more takes us into the unique atmospheric zone Edward occupies with his productions. 'The Giver' has an unnerving, desolate quality but it's also rock-solid in the rhythm department, with subtle threads of warmth to balance out the eeriness. 'Memory Motions' is a spicier cut with a pronounced house jack to propel a tense set of sonic motifs, with a special mention to the wobbly organ-like chord line. 'Tuned' is the most upfront of all the tracks, using some processed piano hooks and a full compliment of nagging, funkified ingredients to make a certified, if left-of-centre, party starter.

Portals Of Unknown
Ancient Astronauts - (6:43) 129 BPM
Stargate To Cosmos - (6:41) 132 BPM Hot
Object In The Sky - (7:54) 132 BPM
Review: Three distinctly outer space-themed cuts from Greece's Alex Celler, each with a linear minimal/tech skeleton that has other, interloping musical influences draped elegantly and classily across it. 'Ancient Astronuats' has the weird, wired mystical stirrings of early Black Dog about it, complete with melting, bendy electro notations that coax it along and add a psychedelic dimension. 'Stargate To Cosmos' has a playful, Drexciyan feel to it, with crunchy, organic drum beats flirting alongside the more rigid electrics. 'Object In The Sky' is the most minimal of the pack, sleek and stalker-like, but still contains enough action - mainly floating around up there in the ether - to hold and build attention.

Le Imagen - (6:18) 125 BPM
Felt Like Klariny Space - (9:15) 125 BPM
Sparse Hypnotimes - (12:07) 125 BPM
Review: Ion Ludwig is a leading light in contemporary minimal house, able to elicit fresh approaches from a well-worn club music template. He lands back on Baby Ford's Trelik label with a chunky double pack of beautifully crafted rollers for the stripped down dance, leading in with the subliminal murmurs of "Fall Answers" and following it up with the incredibly groovy, bass-led "Modern Missing Mood". "Le Imagen" gets into a more wriggling, crafty configuration, while "Felt Like Klariny Space" lets trippy daubs of melody take centre stage. "Sparse Hypnotimes" does what it says on the tin, simmering down to a mellow, dubby haze of blue-hued keys and a slither of a beat.

Rumours EP (feat Ogermania Mix)
Mikko (Ogermania mix) - (8:24) 125 BPM
Lottery - (7:15) 127 BPM Hot
Groaning Ghosts - (7:17) 124 BPM
Review: Edward's graceful take on modern house and techno is a perfect fit for Trelik, and the German producer sounds comfortable as he unfurls swooning threads of otherworldly music for the tripped out dancefloor. The "Ogermania Mx" of "Mikko" is a hazy, string soaked affair pitched somewhere warm and dreamlike, but there's plenty of energy churning away in the lower register. "Lottery" is a more twitchy affair for darker times, all moody bass bounce and looming drones around a shuffling set of percussion. "Groaning Ghosts" is the techiest of the bunch, and there's a whole lot of freaked out sound design swirling around in the mix as well. This is simply stunning, highly advanced dance music from a modern day maestro.

Anubis - (6:43) 128 BPM Hot
Housepacer - (5:11) 135 BPM
Ripstyle - (6:06) 135 BPM
Review: Doing things properly and building up a DIY phenomenon from their base in Zurich, the Les Points crew have brought a fresh, daring originality to the house and techno scene with their gritty outboard approach and a wide range of stylistic tendencies. Taking a break from releasing on their own label, Audino, Barbir, Louh and Nicola Kazimir have been invited to the evergreen Trelik to broach their music to a wider audience. From the blissful space techno groove of "Anubis" to the tightly wound beats of "Housepacer" and on to the cranky acid funk of "Ripstyle", this is yet another distinctive transmission from the plucky Swiss crew.

More Journeys Into Swing - (7:35) 120 BPM
Sunday Love - (6:09) 120 BPM
Played by: Javier Carballo, Domshe, OCH
Review: Och has been a regular fixture on Baby Ford's Trelik label in recent years, and he returns with the late night delights of the Love Unconditional EP sounding stronger than ever. "Sunday Love" is a warm and cosy bumper, keeping the keys bright and breezy while the beat skips away dutifully before the more heads down thrust of "More Journeys Into Swing". The real star of the show though is "Love Unconditional", a particularly gripping track that unfurls seductive synth licks and vocal licks on a trip to nocturnal body jam perfection.

Running Hammock - (6:32) 120 BPM
Played by: OCH
Review: More commonly found lurking around on Ornate and People Are Looking At You, Jonno & Tommo make the leap to Baby Ford's legendary Trelik label with a diverse range of club tracks that highlight their flexibility in the dance. "Love Songs" may be packing a punchy rhythm section, but the dusty vocal sample injects a haunting soul into the framework of the track. "Bloc via Bow" meanwhile keeps things sprightly and notably tech-minded with its catchy lead chord stabs, before "Running Hammock" heads down into a mysterious, jazz-tinted abstraction of deep house, neatly rounding out a strong EP.

Mystery Falls
Mystery FallsEXCLUSIVE
Mystery Falls - (9:35) 122 BPM
Spooked - (8:49) 123 BPM Hot
Review: More reductionist and hypnotic melancholia from the master himself. Fresh off his long awaited fabric mix, Baby Ford presents us with two new tracks on his Trelik imprint. "Mystery falls" is true deepness of the most paranoid and sinister kind, equally suited to after hours parties or while sitting at home in the corner of your room afterwards. "Spooked" is best described as 'boompty' minimal if anything. A stripped tool that runs for just under nine minutes and pushes bare bone, repetitive elements to their limit on this simple but brilliantly clever exercise by one of the true legends of the artform.

I Don't Know How To Say - (9:20) 125 BPM
Review: As one of the more distinctive minimal house operators in these times, Ion Ludwig makes for a snug fit over at Trelik towers, and with this three tracker it's not hard to see why his records are so highly prized these days. "46 LJ + Felix Ballad" is a refined groover with a fine balance between gritty low end chunk and gossamer top-end, working subtle hits of bass and illustrious string sweeps into the mix to great effect. "EM Carpet" meanwhile darts out into more obscure territory, keeping the beats to a minimum and focusing on warm and fuzzy synth tones cycling

HazEXCLUSIVE
Haz - (9:19) 124 BPM Hot
Pacificon - (8:35) 127 BPM
Review: Consistent in his output since 2006, London-based Alex Celler has carved a reputation recording on highly esteemed imprints such as Tuning Spork, Contexterrior, Broquade and All Inn to name a few. Now he turns up the heat for an impressive two-track debut on Trelik. "Haz" kicks off with tight, dry drums moving emotively with warm bubbling bass, subtle house stabs and soothing, mysterious vocals. Drops and licks of percussion build and fall over the 9:19 duration with the aid of cleverly scattered piano keys this forward thinking arrangement stands-out perfectly. "Pacificon" strips things back to the bare-essentials, a highly playable cut that takes on a more techno-orientated approach featuring persistent bass and metallic vocals creating a deadly effective backdrop of space and tension.

So They Say - (6:22) 124 BPM
Uff (original) - (6:36) 124 BPM
Review: Baby Ford and Zip need little introduction and debut on Trelik as "BFZ" featuring co-conspiritor Thomas Melchior. The trio originally appeared on the 1999 "Perlondon" 12" for Perlon with Ford and Zip re-uniting for the "Glidin' Along The Riverbed" release then 2010's "Clean Hands" on PAL SL. Thomas Melchior recently appearing on [a:rpia:r] and his own Aspect Music kicks off the 12" with a floor friendly up-beat 9 minute "Melchior Productions LTD" edit remix of "Uff". An "Uffapella" closes the A-side featuring abstract sound design and textured vocals. Side-B's "So They Say" creates a feeling of space and unhurried rhythmatics whilst the title track "Uff" combines deep instrumentals, chord and haunting vox with subtle bass and modulating kick. Recorded in London and Berlin. Mastered at D & M.

I'm Burning - (6:23) 122 BPM
Review: Following on from releases for Pomelo and PAL SL, LD Nero makes a welcome return to Trelik, the label that unveiled the project back in 2011. Detroit house flavours lace "Als Ik Kan", as a bleepy synth loudly sounds on the off beat over short stabby chords and shuffling drums. A summery, Rhode uplifting house track awaits in "The Feel" while a loose "I'm Burning" almost sounds like LD Nero has each of the tracks elements placed on a separate turntable; making sure to keep them beat matched and aligned.

Overcome/Lady Science (NYC Sunrise)
Overcome - (9:01) 125 BPM
Lady Science (NYC Sunrise) - (9:23) 128 BPM Hot
Review: Trelik returns with a reissued edition of one of the catalogue's most treasured releases. "Overcome" and "Lady Science (NYC Sunrise)" need little introduction, and now come sporting the new TR11:11 matrix number. Written and produced by Thomas Melchior and Baby Ford aka Soul Capsule, these tracks came from one of the many sessions recorded at the West London Ifach Studio in 1999. "Overcome" is stripped back and energetic, driven by rolling and shuffling garage style beats, tight bubbling bass and atmospheric synth pads. The intermittent vocal samples and the release's signature organ set you up for the accompanying "Lady Science (NYC Sunrise)". Possibly one of house music's most emotive pieces, the track builds slowly with the introduction of each part building a story of soulful optimism based around a sparse palette of deep synths, uplifting keys and warm analogue bass. The understated beauty of the main vocal riff never seems to grow old or tired with the track lending itself perfectly to either main room, peak-time play or after-hours sessions alike.

Blind Is The Wind (interlude) - (1:07) 123 BPM
Last Chance Saloon - (9:16) 123 BPM
Review: Baby Ford's long running Trelik label enjoyed a more prolific year in 2011 than at any time in the past decade, and Whalesong is a fitting end to a glorious 12 months. If you've been following Och's releases, then you'll know what to expect here. The title track sees the mysterious producer drop dubbier, full blooded beats and billowing chords over a surging groove, while the use of shuffling drums and a stuttering vocal lend the track a memorable signature. "Blind Is The Wind" is an unusual ambient affair thanks to the inclusion of a confused vocal, but Och returns to his natural habitat on "Last Chance Saloon", which features more of the same pumping beats and dreamy chord sequences.

Deep DawnEXCLUSIVE
Deep Dawn - (7:48) 123 BPM Hot
New Day Dawn - (10:56) 123 BPM
Review: Thomas Melchior and Baby Ford's irregular collaborative project yields one of its most esoteric releases yet. No matter what its title suggests, Deep Dawn feels more like night descending as a gloopy, claustrophobic bass threatens to engulf everything in its path, including the breathy vocals. If the title track is characterised by an innate heaviness, then "New Day Dawn" is the exact opposite: the same vocal is at the arrangement's core, but the elements that surround it are infused with a lightness. Razor-sharp percussion and wanton horn stabs revolve around the vocal sample as woozy chords nudge the track towards a trippy denouement.

Nite Out (Dusk dub) - (8:54) 122 BPM Hot
Nite Out (Dawn dub) - (8:47) 122 BPM
Played by: Dplay
Review: With just 18 releases in almost as many years, Peter 'Baby' Ford's Trelik label could hardly be accused of being prolific, but then again, it has been used mainly as a vehicle for the owner's various guises. The 18th instalment marks a change to this approach, however, as Trelik welcomes 'outsider' LD Nero to the fold. Available in two versions, "Nite Out" is sublime atmospheric house music: the pulsing, arcing bass of the dawn dub version underpins a ponderous feeling, while the dusk dub is more tripped out: based on a woozy synth line, like every other Trelik release, its subtlety is its greatest strength.
