volume 3 showcases more of the unique tropical music created in panama in the fertile decades of the 1960s and 70s. panama is the thin, tropical bridge that connects north and south america, and is home to three million culturally diverse people, its music is a soulful blend of latin american, caribbean, european and indigenous forms. from bilingual calypsos to guajira jazz, from tropical guarachas to cumbia tamboreras, panamanian musicians fearlessly combined and brilliantly executed styles that reflected their multicultural environment during a turbulent time in the young countrys history. this collection presents more of the golden age of panamanian music and the music of the combos nacionales on rare recordings that have never been released outside the isthmus until now.

sound sources include field recordings of airport announcements, hammering on metal plates at the former kabelwerk oberspree, berlin, several sounds captured inside the large radio antenna dome at teufelsberg, berlin, dripping water at the botanical garden florence, air condition systems and turbines in las vegas, frankfurt and tokyo, walking on rocks in joshua tree national park, wind from the grand canyon, a friends answering machine, a printer, conversations via mobile phones, typing on an old macintosh keyboard and recordings from tunnel works in switzerland.

timeless dancefloor fire gets a timely seasonal release on this exclusive double 12 inch pack. its the first compilation of artists from the desolat family - and its a manifesto of sorts, showcasing the different facets of the desolat sound. these artists, in their own ways, unpack multiple meanings of house & techno to create unique tangents. munichs tini steps out with her debut release: a staggered, raw dance track representative of her electrifying, wired-up dj sets. its the first solo outing on desolat for studio guru martin buttrich: his sensitive manipulation of delicate sonic quicksand underpinned with an insistent beat. argentine muso guti drops his second release on desolat, contributing chipped down spatial melodies following his first 2x12inch on the label, las cosas que no se tocan. loco dice brings his hip hop roots via heavyweight bassline and disembodied groove to truly shake up the house and overturn expectations. shimmering swing is the thing for romanian duo livio & roby featuring george g as premiesku, enunciating their very own definition of dance. lastly, desolats african-italian man yaya develops his sound further - displaying his musical upbringing with a punchy effusive get-up-and-dance vibe. its a fine way to end the year - six glimmering tracks wrapped up on desolats very special 10th release!

the flash tool is a simply constructed but incendiary club tool. deploying a limited palette of elements to create an earcatching track, the use of heavy kick, undulating bass, ever rising synth lines and wildly distorting pitch tones screams dancefloor impact.
las castagnettas is nothing short of a mainroom monster. uncompromising and direct with a raw, assertive energy this is inyourface ravetastic techno. booming beats and abrasive sounds set the tone but this is all about the supersized bass stab. watch out..

it may have been fate that erphun s very first gig was on halloween, because his music is brooding, pounding, moody and transformative, as if from another realm entirely. his ability to build a mood is mesmerizing and transports the listener to that alternate spiritual level that his moniker infers. having spun around california with residencies for naked, flirt and hotel california and playing at 1015 folsom (san francisco), sevilla (las vegas), broadway (san diego), voodoo lounge (las vegas), risqu (las vegas, new year s eve 2004), and the shelbourne hotel (miami, winter music conference), erphun began to make his mark. erphun s music has been spun in clubs all over the world and is succinctly summed up by steve lawler as a deep, dark and underground unique sound that trademarks his pieces. with early releases on ingrooves, and ascension records followed by releases on viva music oliver klein s mutekki and audio therapy, his name is now instantly recognizable among the tech-house, minimal, techno world of spinning producers who globe trot his compositions to be dropped on every conceivable audience. the reaction of the listener to his slow, driving builds that weave between the almost symphonic-like movements of each of his pieces is always jaw dropping and is usually followed by an exclamatory siiiiiick! . erphun is also a highly sought after re-mixer for artists who want to hear the 4am version of their pieces. the only way to really experience this immense talent is to see him in action. a night of erphun s making heightens the listener s musical aesthetic and aurally illustrates his personal musical vision

he making of this record inadvertently began in cuba in january 2008. powershovelaudio was recording in la havana some of the best contemporary cuban singers and musicians. the resulting recordings were of an inspiring beauty. the situation was that powershovelaudio had this outstanding collection of voices, woods and brass, all infused by the tropical warmth. it was first-class material that should be put in the best hands possible, then maayan came to mind. ônight longö is a synthetic work. maayan has inexplicably, quickly and with incredible precision captured the essence and the expressivity of the cuban musicians and taken it to a hitherto unknown place. maayan is of course well-known for her diligent talent in inserting voices of quality in her mixes, but in this occasion the result is more than surprising. instead of concentrating in her signature minimal beats, maayan has experimented with different cadences, depths and moods, leaving behind her swirl a disconcerting record of inspired beauty. this art in this record is graced with photography by one of the best and most influential photographers in the world: moriyama daido. maayan asked moriyama san for permission to use the cover image, a request which moriyama san, after listening to the record, gladly accepted

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythingÆs that sounds fine to their ears.for our 13th release , we decided to bring you guys an amazing ep done by the masters of italo disco & nu disco mavericks, the fantastic serge santiago & hardrock striker. it is called genialissimo wich could be translated in italo french (if this langage exists) as great & awesome!!! they came to us with one of the most intense drummy tracks we ve heard in years, reminding the best of carl craig circa designer music.

starker, dj-freundlicher techno vom talentierten sarden alessio mereu der bereits einige starke releases in 2007 & 2008 veröffentlichte. passt zu cmyk wie die faust aufs auge

olmeto’s first release of 2009 takes the flamenco bull by the horns and drops a track of such spanish influence, you’ll think you’re at las ventas! señor bushwackas ‘dromederie’ neatly entangles beautifully mournful spanish guitars, passionate feet stomping flamenco dancers with modern glitches to create a seriously ferocious tune with an underlying feeling of treachery. the percussive elements embroiled in the final three minutes (specially edited as a dj tool for the creative amongst you) are so unique, the reaction evoked on any primed and ready dancefloor has to be seen to be believed…it’s a tune you’re not going to forget in a hurry! side two, ‘the blues’ takes an altogether slower, more winding approach but is sure to draw you in from the off. whilst we are reminded ‘this is the blues’, rising melodies and catchy loops reminiscent of grooving disco transport you to a sleazy den of dance iniquity. marking the twentieth release on layo & bushwacka’s olmeto imprint, ‘dromederie’ & ‘the blues’ are a stunning representation of the forward thinking dance music this label has to offer. not to be ignored.

if this were an episode of the game show jeopardy and the following track titles represented an answer, the correct question would undoubtedly be what is a huge hephner ep?. after his highly successful debut (booty drop ep) on siteholder uncut, as well as various remix projects, the funk slut himself returns with his virgin vinyl effort for siteholder records. following what he calls a highly inspirational trip to the strip clubs and whorehouses of las vegas, hephner took his sexual adventures and turned them into an ep that couples ass-shaking funk with in-your-face bass. it seems that his pimpin escapades have finally found an outlet that wont land him in jail, but instead on some of the sickest sound systems our planets nightclubs have to offer

>a 1000 keys< is a fatal hommage to minimalism and a consequent denial of virtuosity and the idea of creative genius. paraphrasing the romantic idea of human perfection, brinkmann found a way to create sonic algorithms of tenderness and brutality, establishing dramatic expressiveness in his constructivist analytics. the result is of radical beauty.

unmixed cd of classics played at monthly dope jams event.
