big with: davide squillace, lee burridge, steve lawler, laurent garnier, ante perry,katotte,thomas schumacher, shinedoe..italys young odds label has been gathering a lot of support over the last few years with its string of quality tech inspired release featuring artists such as elia casetti orchestra, the dolphins, ajello, luke solomon and alex dolby. this time its the term of duo martin patino and enzo elia to step up with the release of their >metamorfosi di narciso ep<.enzo elias previous release for the likes of one louder berlin and mantra vibes have seen his standing as producer and dj grow at a rapid rate and teaming up with half pervvian partner martin patino.it seems the pair are determined to further make their mark with this outstanding ep of late nicht electronic club cuts.lead track >metamorfosi di narcisio< is a stripped minimal affair that draws you in from the opening bars.sparse and tight drums lay down the base for a slowly building intense track heavy aon percussion and full of a atmosphere despite its simple and spacey arrangement.

his this years 2nd album >heavy day< still heavily resonates in peoples ears, now that falko brocksieper already delivers an appropriate follow-up. on >fresh 727< brocksieper finds back to raw, sketchy arrangements, evolving their full energy just from deep, rolling basic grooves, as opposed to the close examination of each tiny sound and every dramaturgic peculiarity in the recent longplayers production. on the title track >fresh 727< noisy, maurizio-esque house chords encounter futuristic vocal messages, while edgy, classic drumbox-riffs rip up the dense atmosphere of the track again and again. a deep, marching groove and the freeminded combination of elements signalize special club moments from the very start. on the backside >request< turns out to be an equally organic, sizzling counterpart, which can promote its sustainable cheerfulness alone by its ongoing bouncy bassline, in a way that all accessory parts get dispensable - to the benefit of a well-balanced blend of rattling percussion, carved vocals and quirky atmo...s

its all about housemusic its a spiritual thing! this statement from a former classic house recording fits perfectly to yves murasca and his attitude towards housemusic. his entire life had been constantly spinning around that uplifting housegroove from 120 to 130 beats per minute. although the munich based dj and producer is standing right at the beginning of his musical career he is already looking back at a number of well noticed projects. besides far more than 20 remixes only in the last two years for top artists like bob sinclar, barbara tucker, milk & sugar, jean claude ades or lee cabrera he became also a recommended radio dj with his own casa nostra radio show and due to the increasing demand on his club dj skills also more and more international bookings are taking place in the meantime.

over the last 4 years mouseville has seen eric prydz (under his cirez d moniker) deliver some truly landmark moments in music with tracks such as knockout and control freak really setting the bench mark for others to follow. here we have an equally devastating track only this time produced by paulo mojo and jim rivers - two producers whos starts have been very much on the rise over the last couple of years with both of them having produced killer tracks for labelks such as oosh, misfit and saw. the track is an absolute killer - a driving groover with its catchy vocal refrains, sharp drums and funky bassline. on the flip the eric prydz remix turns the original on its head with deep chords and pads creating a very moody yet powerful reinterpretation. big support from eric prydz, sebastian leger, john digweed, paulo mojo and steve angello

many international top-notch djs are already playing and supporting this tune like laurent garnier, gusgus, raudive aka oliver ho, len faki, john starlight, hernan cattaneo, james talk, perc, glimpse, ed davenport, chris fortier, p.toile, savas pascalidis, tony senghore, oliver deutschmann, mario piu or mtv-man markus kavka. after many years and releases on some of the most important labels of the electronic music-scene like for example liebe+detail, areal or trapez and countless remixes for artists like dominik eulberg, move d or solomun, hamburg/belgrade-based artist denis karimani aka remute is coming up with his own, self-titled label, which will be the future homebase just for his most uncompromising, rocking and surprising tracks. the 1st release called zuendli is an unmistakable groove-monster and is already driving people wild since weeks and months as a part of remute s highly acclaimed livesets all over the world with grinding and rotating sequences, unconventional sounds and a killer break / strictly limited, one-sided clear 12 inch

charts and big support from: richie hawtin (excellent release), dave clarke (full support), nic fanciulli (big big big), dubfire (this is wicked! rich hot teen tune has been my biggest all weekend), chris liebing, slam (excellent wicked tunes, on top of my charts) xpansul, deetron ( vapors rocks, brings the old days back to mind).... tip !!! even in berlins inexhaustable club scene few musicians developed an operational experience like savas pascalidis: he has been a dj for near twenty years and a producers for about ten years. having released two albums and a series of eps on a couple of a-list-labels, vapor is pascalidis first release on figure. being a specialist in demanding and sepulchral techno sounds, pascalidis tracks fit in seamlessly with the previous records on figure. vapor is a thirteen-minute-long techno epic. an ever-changing acid line coils through the track, keeping the listeners in a firm grip. rich hot teen combines an smart, slim groove with the kind of hook line which ignites excitement and surprise on the faces of the dancers. with its distorted feeling, the online-exclusive low has a rough, provocative attitude

a fresh addition to the moodmusic roster but a longtime veteran in the house-scene, alexander maier aka dj all*star from stuttgart is well known from his earlier releases on buzzin fly, exun and criminal records. he began his career playing underground techno in south of germany but over the years became more and more influenced by detroit and chicago house. you can hear these influences on sahara in both the rain and river version. deep and reduced grooves with enough soul and atmosphere, yet fully functional for the floor, sahara rain kicks in with a heavy bass sequence building a perfect platform to be followed by the synththeme which hit s the peak hour perfectly. i see some hands going up here already… sahara river starts more housey, building a classy, low-slung huge groove with perculating synths and almost tribal feel to the drums. the modulating synths lifts the track to new heights with a break of superbly layered twisted pads before the drums kick back in in full effect. as this would not be enough we asked our thrusted chicago connection and alexs buddy, mazi aka audio soul project to remix sahara rain. if you consider people who s been in the biz for some time mazi is one of the warriors of the sound, never choosing the easy way but thrustfully following his true way of house music. and house it is, classic but cleverly updated to 2008 with a twist of so-cal thrown in for good measure. bouncey and jacking is the words which comes into mind when hearing this, excellent work and a another bomb for the hot months to come

the 3 jagged guys come from a different background, but they all love and live quality music for many years already! so the best time they have cooking things up in their studio – and as a result, it sounds like >hello kool nice<. analogue equipment plus the mpc, thats the sound of jagged and quintessentials 02: organic, raw and real! the remixes courtesy of colognes harry swinger & dc (rushhour) with an old school deephouse edit and man of the moment quarion (drumpoet community) with a great summerish uplifting rework are pure dope too. essential

the munich resident florian senfter aka zombie nation or john starlight is well-known as the creator of tracks like kernkraft 400, souls at zero, space marines and last not least blood angels, which can also be found on the sound of the third season, and is thus a reliable choice for sweaty, energetic eruptions up to the fringe of demolition. this doesnt change significantly on road rage, which was originally released by ukw in a limited number of copies and is now the first sign of life from senfters studio, after three years of abstinence. with timehonoured plus 8 references and acid elements, the original recollects an almost gone quality of techno: to blow away your skullcap with the unashamed joy of telling stories, many breaks, some funky dirtyness and experimental noise playfulness. exclusively made for cocoon was the remix by parisian turbo producer popof who gives the track an even more intense gross-grained feeling. one does not have to be a prophet at all to tell that both versions are facing a great future in club autumn 2008 and beyond

a decade usually consists of ten pieces, years or days. the decade of techno comprises of 10 releases made by 9 carefully selected producers who shaped the last ten years of techno with their unique sounds. looking back at the last 10 years, techno made a thoroughly multifaceted development. new styles developed out of the old ones, never losing sight of the main principle. this development will be reflected on the decade of techno series, whereas label owner kaoz attached importance to account for every facet of techno.
