in all of his years of being a certified veteran in the world of techno - from his beginning days in napoli in the early 90s to his celebrated status around the world today - marco carola never once lost grip on his main priority: letting the music speak for itself. throughout his leagues of vital releases and endless stream of dj dates, his focus always steered clear of sensationalized press angles, or ranking up the charts he chose to instead keep his head down and his passions high. carola retains a rare sense of integrity, despite being an artist who is consistently changed the face of techno.

after house releases on rush hour yore, tony takes it back to home grown detroit techno. from new millennial acid house, to disco string stabs, to human beat box samples, he works new angles into the timelessly classic detroit vibe.

after martin landskys last bomb on poker flat, man high, he comes back faithfully with we are streaking, a tasty two-tracker rich in classic landsky synth-work, deep moody melodies and forward pushing energies throughout. title track we are streaking sends a warm pulsing sonic charge right to the core. rushing, phasing and casually dramatic, an insistent synth theme revolves at the heart of this timeless slice of driving electronic house. characterised by landskys experienced produciton hands at the controls, its a slow tweaking, extended cut that will take you back whilst keeping your body very much in the here and now. the sharp post-electro swagger of personal decay punches in time to the heartbeat of a generation. taking inspiration from those adrenal, early days of rave, landsky combines modern, fi nely tuned electronics with raw, dubbed and funked passages of killer proportions. once again a perfect driver, in classic style martin shows off all angles of his love for the beat.

do you know gummihz? the gummihz that hails from greece but was raised on a steady diet of chicago and new york house? the gummihz that sings? the gummihz that incorporates disco, electro, jazz, and chanson into his productions? well if you don t, now you will. the >sleepless nights< double 12 inch is gummihz first release on mobilee since >under the sun< and is a radical departure from anything we ve ever heard from gummihz ù or even mobilee ù before. gummihz multidimensional production abilities allow him to dig deep into his roots and influences on the one hand while simultaneously exploring new, uncharted territory on the other. alternatingly retro and futuristic, this two-part ep series is a portrait of gummihz as an artist from a variety of angles, one we ve only seen fragments of up until now. one might view this ep as an attempt on gummihz behalf to explore his musical roots in a contemporary context, with the end result being a strikingly varied yet cohesive statement of gummihz musical and artistic leanings. on the one hand, gummihz delves into his past, with tracks such as >sunshine dub< and >bang< fusing the samples, cut-offs, and filtered loops of french house with an almost balearic, hypnotic twist. on the flip-side, we also get a snapshot of gummihz at his most somber ù>love call<, featuring vocals from gummihz himself, has a jackin house beat but bears no resemblance to the cheery sounds of chicago house on which our grecian friend was raised. instead, he favors a cloudy, almost cold-blooded vibe, with chilling lyrics manipulated to the point of near-indecipherability (bringing to mind the brilliant vocal work of the knife and fever ray) with a final product that is nonetheless aptly suited for the dance floor.

classic 1992 detroit techno by producers like kenny larkin, juan atkins, eddie fowlkes, dan curtin and more.

juan sanchez, the amsterdam based producer with spanish background, makes his wolfskuil debut with an impressive 2 track single. the freakshow ep is an examplary showcase of what juan is capable of. two peaktime tracks, but both with different angles. the title track delivers exactly what you expect from a song with that particular title. freaky, out of control basslines and over the top rhythmic exersises, with loads of subtle hints, clever programming and detailed edits form the freaked out basis for juans vocals. no 4 bars are the same, but the track is coherent from beginning untill the end. prepare to rip up floors with this one!23 positions shows a different side of juan. its carrying his trademark production style, but 23 positions takes a more melodic approach. beautifully arranged strings sweep in and out througout the track, accompanied by a non stop rolling groove. again there is a remarkable eye for detail, clever programming and spot on sound engineering, wich makes this tune explode from any pa.

transmitting from the heart of the american midwest, skoozbot has rapidly gained a reputation for insightful techno futurism. his main preoccupation focuses on the interaction between humans and technology, especially the ability to capture split second emotions, recreate them using electronic sounds and then play them out over a six minute track, letting them evolve naturally albeit in sometimes unexpected directions. the rising sap contains a selection of tracks written during the transition from winter to spring as life returns to the surface of the planet bringing with it the most vibrant sensory experiences. in a sense these colours, fragrances and forms allow us to transcend time through memories and association and skoozbot is driven to capture these precious fragments and examine them from all angles in the suspended animation that the minimal techno environment so perfectly creates.

this follow-up to 1999s >dark of heartness< album (tresor.125) attacks from several angles beginning with the hell-bent, club wrecking ball, >dirty old face<. >blackout< in contrast works dub influences around a chicago groove while the massive p-funk stepper >no one<, the balladesque >work< (featuring schmidt on vocals) and >wagging tail< will definitely kill off any skepticism about this albums huge potential

this is dubble ds debut for winding road. it takes in so many directions that it makes your eyes boggle this ep has everything! because of the varied musical angles, its no surprise that its called the bug eyed ep. one track is twisted chicago robo funk, another sits in between hiphop and android disco, another is latinojazz warehouse rave, and the other is deephouse 2step. and of course they re all brilliant

released across 2 separately packaged 12s, feeling free could be the closest thing to a summer anthem that soul music has had in quite a while !! hoop , whose soulclap updates of 90s hip-hop classics have garnered praise and plays from all angles, has worked his sample-adelic magic using jazz pianos and horns to bring fresh harmonies to an already musically rich work. coming across like a drum heavy quantic, this mix is one for the beat heads, as is its flip-side partner, which is delivered by natural self , (breakin bread /tru thoughts). as usual his drums are raw, his bass looms large and the authentic live funk feel is kept alive and heavily kicking

get lost is a deep and tripped out fusion of mighty mastercuts, techno toys and special songs carefully excavated from the electronicunderground. featuring exclusive new rebel releases from mlle caro, naum, ost & kjex and dj koze, get lost offers up new angles and fresh experiences for both the head and the feet. disc 1 is a wonderfully twisted mix for the dancefloor while cd2 spreads its wonky wings even wider…

luciano & tobias freund edit of n.s.i. s original track once again, cadenza comes on strong with a powerful and unconventional floor-filler, proving that >minimal< music neednt be a predictable affair of plug-ins, gratuitous reverb, and garish bit reduction. in its first limited-run, one-sided single, cadenza revisits last year s >max binski< ep from nsi (non standard institut)-the duo of tobias freund (pink elln, sieg Über die sonne) and max loderbauer (sun electric)-with a 13minute edit by freund and luciano. the edit takes >clara ghavami<, a sleeper cut off the b-side of the nsi ep, out of the isolation tank and into a crazy, heaving landscape of fluid shapes and odd angles. underpinning it all is an irresistible rhythm that s pure luciano-powered by a stuttering kick drum and some antennae-like, hypersyncopated squiggles, it pumps away like a legion of army ants, carrying exponentially more than its own weight

remixed by sebastian ingrosso / steve angello and jerry ropero / denis the menace, as the sun sets on another summer, and the golden sandy beaches are just a distant hazy memory, the swedish based joia label refuse to lie down and surrender, delivering hot new mixes of steve lawler's 'my sound'. after causing a major buzz when the limited (and now deleted!) one-sided original floated across from the ibiza shores, this hefty piano-infused beast is given a thorough reworking from all angles from a five-star lineup

>this mix was the perfect chance to sit down with pinch & bring together a sonic which we both feel we have been working towards for a while, albeit from very different angles. in my opinion the dance music climate in the uk is enjoying a healthy & extremely interesting transitional period one which i would draw parallels to the 93/94 proto era when people were literally making up the rules as they went along. this mix is a ode to that time & our attempt at throwing some ideas out there, with the hope of sparking some imaginations & pushing things further forward< - mumdance

dj diamond is 24 year old karlis griffin from the west side of chicago. he has been producing music since the age of 13 and djing since 20, heading the -flight muzik- clique of footwork producers. you might recall his two tracks from our -bangs & works vol.1- footwork compilation of last year. in addition hes also released several mix cds in chicago, but this, his first international album showcases his unique style of footwork music. dj diamond is a unique producer with his own distinct style and an unusual ear for unexpected sonic and rhythmic combinations within the footwork template. often he thoroughly edits samples into tiny trance-inducing, techno-like stabs. combining this with a penchant for neon synths and loose, broken drums (that are often more effect-laden and freeform than those of of his peers) and you have a sound which has an intriguing, deeper, dreamlike feel. the breadth and quality of his production is clear when you listen to this album. take opener -rep yo clique-s woozy drawling synths and tribal tom patterns next to -speakerz n tonguez- with it-s snapping snares, minimal, repetitive voice samples and martial, detailed drum work. then a track like -torture rack- which is like grime in outer space: a minimal bassline and some samples from a computer game, while a bass kick stumbles at half time, swarms of percussive detail giving it drama. its a brilliant exercise in wonky tension. the extraordinary -decoded- comes across like a kind of amalgam of trance and prog rock bombast at 160bpm while -wreckageÕs- high pitch saw noise is like a strange metallic bird-call, over light cymbals, gabba-like kicks and metallic claps. -digimons- harmonic microedits could even be an snd track transported to chicago. finally the albums closer -i choose you- rolls out over a heavily edited and processed soul sample, its drums rolling off at odd angles to almost seasick effect.
