following his two recent singles on scubas hotflush recordings, london based george fitzgerald is back with his much-anticipated third release and his debut for aus music. titled silhouette, the three-track ep includes two originals and a remix from american producer john roberts. fitzgerald once again manages to create a world in which garage, dubstep, house, r&b and a host of other musical influences happily co-exist. on silhouette hints of warm acid, layered oscillating synth lines, propulsive beats and fitzgeralds signature use of vocal samples make this a peak time affair, albeit an incredibly lush one. reset is eight minutes of forward thinking uk garage combined with the melodic sensibilities of detroit techno. for the silhouette remix, roberts develops a relentless broken groove, occasionally punctured by brief piano interludes that recall the sounds of his 2011 debut full-length on dial records, glass eights. a breathtaking remix that sounds like nothing else out there at the moment. in addition to silhouette, fitzgerald currently has remixes out for french house producer brawther on secretsundaze and uk bass artist throwing snow, as well as an upcoming ep on hotflush and a track on the labels recent compilation, back and 4th. this year will also bring the founding of man make music, a new label fitzgerald is starting with friends.

from the murky manchester backstreets, the el diablos social club main man neil diablo (aka the midnight chopper alongside cohort mr masters) stalks his balearic-rock prey with a sharp eye for a groove and a keen sense of razor sharp riffing! on this outing they turn their attention away from the over-subscribed disco edit scene, instead focusing on something a bit more bearded, a bit more rock.
the first chop is the deepest ...

this latest lovebirds ep on winding road records is another absolute masterpiece of chilled house soul and deep rave. a really excellent package and a must-have lovebirds release. on the a-side track, >want you in my soul<, lovebirds teams up with vocalist stee downes. stees acclaimed debut album >all in a day< was released on sonar kollektiv in 2008, and who has worked and performed alongside the likes of motor city drum ensemble, amp fiddler, dj spinna, and bugz in the attic. their collaboration for winding road is a driving vocal house bomb that will rock your world. the b-side kicks off with the dirty tech tune >give me a dubf*ck<, an injection of dark rave that has been causing serious explosions on dancefloors for a few months now. perfect chemical material for the harder floors. the b2 track is hot toddys remix of >want you in my soul< - a chrome-plated disco dimension to the track by crazy p man chris todd, which was licensed to tensnakes >in the house< compilation before it even saw the light of day. hot stuff indeed.

mister saturday nights eamon harkin dishes out another dose of rocking revamps on this the second release from his subway series imprint. this time the throne of blood man takes three numbers which should be somewhat recognizable to discerning ears and mutates them into jams designed firmly for the dance floor. >party out of sight< is a superb re-work of the bill withers seminal harlem. this edit made its first mark a few years ago in an earlier guise on mp3 but has now been further spruced and improved for wax. >the better kind< stretches out joy divisions >means to an end< and underpins it with a rocking drum pattern whilst >turn up the funk< is an excellent re-work of the proto hip-hop number >shoot the pump< from back in the day. a real bumper package!

the next full length from techno tastemakers delsin is co-released by the man who made it, morphosis aka ra.h aka rabih beaini, on his own morphine records, as well as by close associate m>o>s. entitled what have we learned

if you are reading this then you most likely are familiar with the latest addition to the thema stable. it means that you have likely experienced the prescient, monolithic funk of his groundbreaking minimalism series. it may mean that you have witnessed one of his rare, raw and raucous sets of densely layered classic/future techno. we are damn sure it means you have heard, absorbed and been educated by his blistering intoxicating work on germanys tresor label and the legendary metroplex releases as population one or his influential utensil releases. the man in question is, of course, detroits own understated, underrated second wave techno soldier. the master of repetition: terrence dixon!

these are only a few of many excellent appraisals for kasper bjørkes second album >standing on top of utopia< which was released in april last year and followed by strong singles and remixes from the album, most recently >heaven< with mixes by nicolas jaar, muzzle flash and prins thomas. with the >symptoms< ep we are happy to present an ep full of brandnew material. while we wait for kaspers next solo album, currently in production and set for a 2012 release, here is a treat of new and unreleased material for you! other than the rather vocal driven singles >young again<, >alcatraz< or >heaven< these four new instrumentals contain both slow disco vibes and rave style anthems. >symptoms< is a constantly moving, synth driven bastard, that provides a crunchy baseline and a wonderfully strange theme that is hard to get your head around. if this track was a movie, it would be x-rated and only shown after midnight - exactly around the time where you would drop this on the dancefloor and look forward to what happens. - initial pressing in coloured yellow vinyl!

come end of may, dancefloors will be overdosing on awesome music. legendary dirty man housemeister will blow out his third mother-l fucking-p >music is awesome< for the wicked, and rave will reign again. but you can’t just stick your face out into this kind of quality noize - it would mini-melt right off, see!? so housemeister took instant classic electro anthem title track >music is awesome< to some players and friends and said >look boys, i m putting out a smaller dose upfront so nobody will die on the dancefloor, now who s gonna help me save some lives?< everybody was in on this ep effort, of course.

danish duo laid back made a most surprising comeback to the clubs in 2010 with >cocaine cool<. not that they had ever been really forgotten: their electro pop classic >white horse< remained a sure shot in clubs for the thirty years after its release 30 years back and a constant inspiration to boatload of diverse artists from techno to hip-hop. >cocaine cool< was recorded at the same session but the ironic vocals ridiculing label executives blowing up their frail ego with the chemical substance were deemed to risquee at that time, so the recording collected dust in some box until last year. bostons >soul clap< another duo hailed as one of the hotest things in clubland known for their eclectic funk-rooted taste. they opt for a cool sparser arrangement leaving out the “white horse -like chords. a loose, dry electro funk beat, hpynotic one-note synth, few dub effects and additional vocoder vocals do the trick bravorously. besides an instrumental version theres also a harder jacking dub take sounding like early chicago house edits. and while the boys are add it they also re-edited another huge one from laid back: >baker man< that managed the unlikely balancing act of not only hitting it bigtime in the charts but also in the emerging balearic scene. this 12 inch is cool in every which way!

new ep from our man m.in and his partner under the kaufmann & ferdinand alias. funky funny tracks perfect for style rockets.

robber and bandit grew up with electronic music since the early 90s ... when they heard tiefschwarz perform some years ago at 10 days off , they decided to join their forces and creative energy and started their own project robber and bandit, which is a mixture of techno and electro with trancy soundscapes. luckely robber had enough experience and technique in producing through his drum n bass project and started to make high quality productions in no time. for the moment they found their balance and new stunning productions are coming your way. later that year bandit started producing minimal techno on his own: lee barrier was born! lee barrier has created in a very short period great skills and producer techniques with a lot of support by robber alias axi and the man behind wasted for life : jamie.

never losing the musics immediate physicalness out of sight, the driving, bass-heavy energy of alex picones tracks set club floors on fire. still in his twenties, hes been a dj for fifteen years. having never aimed at quick fame, his career is exemplary in its endurance and commitment: he hosted parties in his hometown of padua and became resident at seminal italian clubs. after a stopover on ibiza he now resides in berlin. alex picones first record under his real name is also his first release on cadenza and his most successful so far. the three tracks of fahrenheit tie in with the overboiling force of floppy and furby. while the rattling snaredrum adds a humorous touch, the uplifting groove of inside out pushes on the limits of the energy levels of contemporary house music. yet the heart of the track is the relentless bassline, which liquefy ones body and melds the crowd and the whole club in one torrential stream of tension. with lost in burning man, alex picone fuses an oldschool electro groove in his house beats. this unexpected encounter might remind one of kevin saundersons hiphouse sound. but instead of indulging in nostalgia, the breakbeats add a provoking, startling touch to the track. with the rotary bassline and the playful jaws harp of mandarin, the ep ends on a comical note. alex picones second cadenza is a challenge to a certain house sound that became too accommodating and glossy. his musics driving force pushes the crowd beyond the threshold of the established into a space of limitless indulgence

taken from trentemøllers new full-length album, ‚into the great wide yonder, a stunning achievement in modern production and cinematic songwriting, >shades of marble< has been reworked by the man himself, along rising artists kink and kasper bjørke. trentemøllers dramatic, edgy and daring remix of his own string drenched opus is nothing short of breathtaking. leaning towards dancefloors with an appreciation for epic qualities, this expertly constructed re-think will surely be heard well into the festival season. the inimitable man from sofia, kink rises to the challenge of remixing shades of marble and does so heroically. the pleasing result is a tough, chicago meets berlin jack-jam that leads to tripped out and freaky moments in the break, until his trademark drum machines do the rest! finally another bright star of the danish scene, kasper bjørke, has his say with his deeper and more low slung remix that leads the listening into satisfying late night realms. full of funk and melancholy, this is a welcome treat for fans of bjørkes characteristic productions.

cursor miners fourth studio album >requires attention< is his most coherent and accomplished record yet. featuring the singles >mad cow< (which spent 2 weeks on the dmc update chart) and >luna< (currently picking up radio play from huw stephens (bbc radio 1), nick luscombe (bbc 6 music), john kennedy (xfm) and more), it combines everything that is good and great about cursor miner, which is basically just about everything.

having been perfecting his production skills for the last 10 years, mrk1 is no newcomer to the world of bass-led music. a member of manchesters infamous virus syndicate, he has become internationally recognised as a huge dubstep talent. so when hench got the opportunity, they jumped at the chance to sign two typically down-right dark and dirty numbers from the man like mrk1.

einen abwechslungsreichen soundtrack für die vielen facetten, die eine spaßige nacht oder auch ein spaßiger tag im club zu bieten haben, präsentieren die herren kottlet & zadak passend zur kalten jahreszeit. just wait entwickelt eine minimal gehaltene, düstere und mysteriöse spannung, die sich schließlich in einem stehenden subbass entlädt. dessen vom ohr nicht mehr wahrnehmbare anteile erzeugen eine wonnige resonanz an der bauchdecke, die sich mit öffnendem cutoff über den rücken bis hinauf an die schädeldecke ausbreitet. freundlich, hell und auf anregende weise dennoch einlullend kommt danach der titel sunday daher, der in zusammenarbeit mit soukie & windish entstanden ist. mollono.bass lässt das im original humorvoll angesprochene arbeiten am montag mit seinem remix in geradezu phantastische ferne rücken: dubbige echoeffekte und eine extra portion verträumte melodie erwecken den eindruck von fortgeschrittenen stunden. doch auch die schwitzige stoßzeit einer party kommt nicht zu kurz: mit pulsierendem basslauf, dichten percussions und einem deutlichen anflug von swing vor einer soundkulisse, die an einen exzentrischen trickfilm erinnert, erfüllt hut ab alle anforderungen für das, was man landläufig als kracher bezeichnet.

we are happy to announce the first release from ultrastretch featuring nottingham-born and now london- based artist matthew burton. a – who loves yous short, sharp hats and robotesque samples build slowly and aloofly to what becomes a somehow familiar and nostalgically tinted style. it is in fact, sampled from the 1987s >the running man< soundtrack, originally composed by harold faltermeyer and picked and plucked apart by matthew burton to make it into his own. the epic synth riff melted with its strong kick and tightly sprung sound corners are eerie and atmospheric. >who loves you< resonates with all of us with its clear 80s feel thats been manipulated into a new and exciting piece of underground music from matthew burton. b – small winner takes us on another journey all together. a deceivingly kicky intro steers us into a combination of swooning orchestral brass and delicate jazzy piano keys who share their space with a crunchy and inviting rhythmic stride. its cleverly concocted instrumental experimentation lends its listeners ear towards the smooth ambience while the hypnotic beat keeps us subconsciously moving. dramatic pauses, a syncopated yet soothing orchestral fusion build >small winner< into an original and intriguing musical piece.

this is a mix cd with a rather interesting twist - none of the tunes are actually mixed at all, instaed carl craig focuses on studio magic to give one long constant stream of supurb house and techno form across europe and america, with a particular emphasis on the unmistakable dutch house sound

the truth: this one is for the indie lovers ? five tracks of homespun homegrown homemade shoe-scuffing heartbreakpop featuring a ruffled array of alternative special guest singers. gospel music, aka owen holmes, is the man at the eye of this particular humble hurricane. when he isnt emailing camera obscuras tracyanne campbell or darren hefner hayman he is playing bass with cheery floridian indiepop critters black kids. and when he isnt working on black kids somophore album he is laying down hobo-jumping leftfield nuggets when run the gamut from johnny cash to jonathan richman and beyond. but dont just take our word for it ? this is what gospel music has to say about himselfË

new dutch label with its roots in the west coast italo disco scene. teaming up with long time buddy fred ventura sfera celeste project combines the melancholy of vintage italo disco with the black funk of man parrish and the mysterious atmosphere that good new wave used to have. pretty essential and highly limited (480 hand numbered copies) for the real heads. these guys come in the tradition of the earliest electronic dance music and show their love for man and machine. interesting new label and desirable first release!

first on decks.de !! >when you dont have a single home, the no man s land of being in transit can be strangely comforting.< heimwehg is a mixture of the german word heimweh (aching for home) and heimweg (the way home). these two words represent the sound of hannes smiths first own release. hannes, born in the former german communist area in 1986, lived in reykjavik for the past two years and wrote this ep about the way back home to germany.

supported by marco resmann, damian lazarus, dyed soundorom, mark henning, mr. statik, pherox, silicone soul, someone else, varoslav, vincent lemieux, butane, insideout, anthony collins, axel bartsch, cesare vs disorder, eric johnston,..... a man once asked a lion,>what do you dream about when you sleep in the field?< to which the lion replied,>when lions dream they visit another world. hearing this, the man said, >that sounds wonderful. can i go there?< the lion grinned and answered,< no, you can not, because youre already there

leonel castillo is undoubtedly argentinas most gifted producer. while his releases remain extremely rare, his daily creations keep adding and adding onto the thousands of tracks he produced over the past 20 years. on this very special artist ep - leonel castillo, the great engineer, sets some intricate and complex rhythmics in motion, forging el salon de los espejos into a highly feverish hotbox of a record. get this right: no other man can develop such elaborate and throbbing patterns as he does. from his lucious grooves featured on sushitech, to the stripped aesthetics as heard on illian tape or even the dubby techno textures from his record last year on greener - needless to say, leonel covers a wide and complete musical range.

croatian nu-disco/funk/boogie overlord ilija rudman has swung by around here. once more he is spinning his audio gems on the legendary bearfunk label. this time is the ever so funky new release soul embrace . ilija gets his niles rogers hat on and peppers this sparkler with chingy-funk guitar. add in some big rolling, dx-style, chugger bass and lashes of darting percussion and there you have it...floor-filler dynamite. the original mix and the spectacularly 80 s styled extended mix make an appearance. our man also goes straight for the beat jugular with his drum, beat and percussion heavy bonus beats mix. to round things off, label head bear, stevie kotey, takes on the remix duties. he brings some real bass along to the party and new layers of slick keys. turning down the floor quotient just a notch, this one is pure slow-burn disco done well, very well.

this part of the urban graffiti saga focuses on the elements that make up our sound. covering all aspects, these tracks have been sourced from some of the most prolific artists in the scene over a period of time right up until the present, almost cataloging the progression of the scene as far as this side is concerned. this will take on the form of two 3-track eps with two additional tracks available for free download. if that isnt enough, we are also going to be giving away a free mix courtesy of d-man and h.o.d featuring tracks from the elements series including exclusives and forthcoming material.

g.i.disco - an 80s history of cold war s hottest music in west-germany berlin local dj heroes kalle kuts and daniel w. best a.k.a. g.i.disco have compiled an excellent 80s soul, funk, r & b and disco selection. it combines representative music of that time with informative liner notes about the german historical background (which also is an important part of 20th century s world history), international artist quotes and worldwide renowned art by berlin based photographer frank thiel to an unique history lesson and listening experience. soul, funk and r&b from the us became a worldwide dance and clubbing movement during the 70s when it turned disco. in the late 70s and 80s more and more new electronic instruments like synthesizers and drum machines were added to the horn riffs and piano licks, bringing the funk back on the dance floor while still leaving it s soul untouched
