vienna in da house! the latest release from intimate friends invites viennese producer par excellence roman rauch into the fold for the essig jazz ep. straight from the home of the wiener schnitzel, roman is of course known for almost a dozen releases on labels like endless flight, philpot and quintessentials. the austrian is on fine fettle here with three twisted and rolling productions the spoken word delivery from caits meissner on got to be is something of a highlight as is the wonderfully messed up remix of the title track from glenn astro.

jtrp have started their career with 2 bass heavy releases on t. williams deep teknologi imprint. their debut two-tracker on beef is oscillating somewhere between raw acid house and ghetto house. ready for immediate club use! on the remix duties we got glenn astro - heavyweight jock and producer from k7!, tartelet records and kolour ltd. on the flip side we have two heavy house stompers by czech based duo fatty m and matoa (dub kraft / flytrap).

copenhagens tartelet records reach their 30th release in style! this va birthday party features label regulars like uffe alongside a whos who of modern german house heads. tito wun & damiano von erckert from the cult ava imprint, cosy up alongside mpc wielding giants like max graef & glenn astro (alongside regular sidekick inmyrmind) submerged funk loops, off kilter chord work and sharp disco percussion share a packed dancefloor with heavily delayed hip shakers (swing set to the high 70s) elsewhere gritty, tightened up 4/4 sample house rocks out alongside neck snapping mid-tempo cuts, all concocted from a wholesome melting pot of four decades of black american music. its raw & for the floor, you couldnt ask for more

trials of the blues features big pads, driving beats and sexy stabs, oh and also a bit of sax action from lisa d, as featured on their standout ep on local talk. glenn astro turns in an off kilter funked up version with a bassline deeper than the mariana trench. fever rounds the release off with a huge bassline and some lush vocals. the second release from purple velvets own imprint, secret reels sees them take things more dancefloor friendly with trials of the blues. big pads, driving beats and sexy stabs, oh and also a bit of sax action from lisa d, reunited from their very successful local talk ep. glenn astro turns in an off kilter funked up version with a bassline deeper than the mariana trench, fresh from his ep on box aus holz. fever rounds the release off with a huge bassline and some lush vocals.

the small and perfectly formed imprints latest release from giovanni damico picked up support from the likes of larry heard, norm talley and mr g and the follow up will no doubt gain similarly hefty support.

there is a common thread that runs through all of brandt brauer fricks music. it is this: interesting things happen at the interface of machine and hand-made music. the berlin trios 2010 album, *you make me real*, fused techno and classical. the 2011 follow-up, *mr machine*, saw them go the whole classical-meets-club hog with a ten-piece ensemble playing dance music live. then, earlier this year, came *miami*, a darker, more song-based collection exploring the same man-machine ideas. the berlin trios instalment of the dj-kicks series does the same thing with a mix.
the double vinyl comes in gatefold sleeve and includes the dj kicks mix-cd.

the us producer recently joined the ranks of talent residing in berlin and its evident the european techno capital is having a subtle sway on his sound on the basis of this apotheke ep, most notably the title track. theres a sense of driving momentum wedged deep in the sonic dna of this track, complemented well by a low slung bassline and airy synth melodies. elsewhere huertas sometime studio sparring partner urulu adds some percussive flex to the pulsating swing set, whilst kingsleys groove swerves the sound back towards deeper house and is apparently named in honour of a friends cat. glenn astro of the tartelet crew ends the release with a wonderfully bumping take on the track.

one limited vinyl press, 180g heavyweight vinyl...
box aus holz, over the course of a handful of very special releases quietly worked their way into the dancers hearts and the djs charts. a steady supply of loose, hook heavy and beautifully crafted sample jams have really set the label apart weare very happy to see them return, with this, their eighth release. another various artists selection, ranging from typically irresistible sample-house (from wunderkind glenn astro & joschka seibt & dj mettigel) to smoked out, neck snappin mpc workouts, via deftly crafted madlib flavours

odd socks 006 comes in the form of a collection of remixes. max graef gets the ball rolling with his sophisticated take on glenn astro & imyrminds >kdim<. a hypnotic patchwork of original themes and maxs refined style. rounding off the a-side, imyrmind weaves a psychedelic web of saines fragile tones. schizophrenic, squiggly, and finally jersey jackin. on the b-side, james creed presents a shuffling housed-up version of josh t & arkists slow jam, >fleabag<. re-appropriating its faux-vintage stabs into a dreamy central motif matched with warm portamento-laced basslines. finally, josh t closes the record with an ultra deep workout in his interpretation of james creeds >undone<. sustained strings and ice cold hi-hats meet muted percussion in this classicly fashioned revision.
