support from oxia, rodriguez jr, radioslave, josh wink, dj koze, laurent garnier, seth troxler, joris vorn, jennifer cardini, dixon, claude vonstroke... two friends who have known each other for many years, who have often shared the same stage and recently enlightened our summer workshops at la carrière, who trade deeply-felt lyrics and singing for singular and refined productions and who delivered infinés finest electronic rhymes. after >silently<, clara called mimu again for >deer & fox<, the vocal pop wonder of >polyamour<. this fall infiné has invited forward-thinking remixers to work on clara s stems for four new opportunities to play the track. deep and introspective, the troublemakers of dop have kept the classy original textures, slowed down cleverly the bpm to carrying mimus voice into a bubble of euphoric bleeps. pampered by derrick may, juan atkins or kevin saunderson, stacey pullen offers the clubbers a one-way ticket into his time machine. right back at the heydays of the detroit second generation. terribly old school and consequently incredibly efficient on the floors. widely praised for their recent intrusions on the very respected karaoke kalk label, tolouse low trax on top having a profound liking puns, have turned >deer & fox< into a dizzying after party chorus, adding their own dark and hypnotic sound pallet. offered as digital extension but no less essential to the package, austrian producer ritornell aka richard eigner brings celestial violins and heavenly piano for a shining and delicate rework, which could almost let you forget the original.

the third and final remix package for mathias kadens masterpiece album -studio 10- comes along with two reworks of mathias vakant label mates onur Özer and dewalta. onur Özers >hâre remix<, a massive, bass driven rework for kadens >chazz<, takes the track to a deeper, more jazzy level, until it fades out with a dreamy yet abstract melody after 11 minutes and counting. david koch aka dewalta takes on >ikenga< (an african god of time, success and achievement), which is surely kadens most played track of the album. david maintains the acidic vibe of the original, adds his very own funk and sends the track back to the dance floor.

darker and more sinister as all his releases before. beats getting tighter and rougher, theres no chance to escape. welcome to the world of delta funktionen. this 2nd part of his setup eps brings three times dark heavy soaking techno tracks, and with the otherworldy track >conflict data< closing the setup

believe it or not !! new hardfloor album ! with acid !! killer !! mastery is distinguished by the difference between being able to create something because you know about it, and creating something because you are it.hardfloor are the masters! masters of what? masters of the -sound of acid-, the style of techno they invented and infected the world with by unleashing the groundbreaking and infinitely imitated -hardtrance acperience ep- in 1992. that unmistakable groove, that pumping house bass, that swirling modulating melody, that throbbing acid house vibe and those climactic builds and breaks - a new sound for the dancefloors of the planet. yes, this is 2010 and that was 18 years ago. a lot has happened since then and music has changed

wall of death. the third single of make the girl dance is set up. set up as the inevitable episode iii of the most anticipated electro trilogy ever rocking its own small planet for the last two years. the same tiny world first devastated by an unparalleled earthquake, the massive hit single “baby baby baby” and its amazing 15 million internet video viewing – frances most seen video in 2009. the home straight before the album release due for the beginning of 2011: make the girl dance is once again showing its teeth, ready to bite and to tear to shreds the dance floors with this new single already remixed by the cyberpunkers, stereoheroes and the killers rabbits

legendary producer ian pooley has partnered up with up and coming producer spencer parker to create a very dynamic duo. we have been trying to work with spencer and ian for quite some time and now we get both of them on one. this release bring us a sound that touches on some of ians disco infused monsters from the past with an update. the a side >kinderteller< is a jacking piano driven monster that will rock any dance floor. on the b side >jolesch< is driven by a funky rhodes line with an infectious female vocal sample. two funky monsters that make for an incredible ovum debut. great house music in the fall that will bring back the memories of the ibiza sun

after a string of fresh remixes, including a great one for the homewreckers here on circus, dave aju offers this two-track side project treat while we await his next album. picking up where he and the invisible art trio left off, and adding another member, we are proud to present thèse unique cuts by mr. aju and his new sol percussion ensemble.using a single percussion instrument for each track, aju and the ensemble bring a raw acoustic and upbeat live jam session vibe to the proceedings on “vibra” the scene shifts to day, as an unabashedly sunny feeling builds up into a sort of loose latin jazz/house interpretation of bob james’ “spunky, filled with refreshingly fun instrumentation and vocal accompaniments- it’s that vibe! . “flexa” starts off with a strong rhythm base, then takes off into the night as warm bass tones and vocal scat chants alternate over the course of this future-meets-primitive hypnotic groover. both tracks reintroduce some playful sonic alternatives to today’s more discerning dance floors, and with the diverse background of aju and his fellow sf bay area ensemble members, there’s plenty of soul and sol, just in time for summer.

nice price deal !!! pack up and dance returns to the dancefloor form with two prime time deep house joints. the first co-production of rising talent talking props with established and confirmed artist martin dawson two straight forward house grooves with all the bits in the right places. both tracks are crackers! support from horse meat disco, darren emerson, robert owens and many more!

the oh so secretive and elusive franc spangler provides his first full ep for delusions of grandeur having previously provided mixes for alpha child on dog03 as well as for jimpster on freerange. on our 11th release we are very happy to offer up two variations on forever and a day with the original providing a full length arrangement loaded with deep pads, fizzing synth lines and franc?s trademark disco inspired drums. forever and a dub runs with a similar vibe whilst opting for a more stripped back and rolling vibe. still a very deep and musical track but with some space for the drums and squarewave bassline to work their magic. the arrangement subtly builds with layering synths providing the dynamics and interest. flip over for open eyes which sees franc drop the bpm?s for a loping, looping, sun-soaked epic purpose built for vibe augmentation of your next bbq gig

big with dubfire, richie hawtin, sven väth, luciano, stephan bodzin, loco dice, karotte, adam beyer, mandy! after d-edge in sao paulo and rex in paris, oliver huntemann selected cielo club in new york to record his third compilation from the play! series. cielo is like no other. tucked cosily in the ultra-hip meat packing district and having won numerous awards for best club in new york, it seemed the perfect pick for this special project the ep, introducing the compilation, consists of two tracks which oliver huntemann produced specially for the big apple. nyc (keep on playin) summarizes perfectly the mood of the city that never sleeps. groovy, somewha melancholic but always ready for more.

cd twelve is the latest installment in dj hells much lauded and highly anticipated annual selection and compiling of material from gigolo artists, new and old. this year hell has two themes, one is house music the other is vienna, both of which have contributed dramatically to the previous 18 months worth of output from both dj hell and international deejay gigolo records.

raw and soulful deephouse anthem with an outstanding mod.civil (ornaments) remix. around the brilliant voice of suzi q. smith, suedmilch builds up such a deep and flowing groove that you cant hide of it. feel the pure emotions of this track. brilliant work for the upcoming summer time and smooth open air celebrations. on the flipside the mysterious guys around mod.civil pitched down the vocal into a dark mood, which gives the original theme a whole different story - just a cosmic soul explosion - how true !

second part of his recent album sampler, comes with more slamming techno madness

after a short hiatus, kelvin andrews world famous stable for his own and likeminded producers (like mark e & mark seven) secret dj weapons is back to the fray with a truly timeless compilation of balearic belters. lovingly compiled by kelvin himself and the infamous balearic mike (creator of the sublime cosmic alphonsus series and head of the fascinating rhythms record label - remember last years >reckoner< rework which sold out in 2 days ?) this is a very limited sampler 12 from the cd compilation (which will be available very soon exclusively to all ears - more info to follow) all the tracks are licensed and 100% legit, so the guys wanted to release a 12 inch treat featuring two of the more floor friendly numbers, knocked into seriously good shape by danny mekanik (one half of soul mekanik with older brother kelvin!). already a hot topic on the blogs and likely to be the cd soundtrack of the summer, this is a superbly curated collection, and a killer sampler.

igor jadranin aka en-tropic signs his new ep – >between two extremes<, for the record label underground limited.this release clearly proves igors unmatched talent and maturity in music production. the lead theme of this ep >between two extremes< – a very deep and powerful theme, carefully broken by rhythm and still a gentle and emotional jazzy looped composition – is surely my personal favorite from this release.cooperation with marko vukovic is embodied in the track >back again< – a minimal deep house filled with rhythm, not the kind of rhythm produced by percussions and other drumming instruments but rather by a cut vocal and dirty synth, which breathe soul into this theme.
>zero loss circuit<, which has an expressed club spirit, is the ideal piece for building an atmosphere in a club. igors music definitively deserves a spot on every good djs list.
(zoran petkovski review)

support from andre rozzo, alex jones, so inagawa, jamie jones, matthew styles-harris, laurent garnier, steve lawler, nic fanciulli. luna records is a new uk based label from respected club promoter/ dj/ producer paul bowen, the man behind middlesbroughs infamous >riff raff< events. the label is set to release music from some pretty well established artists with an emphasis on stripped back chunky house music and in that vein the debut single sees the much hailed german producer chris lattner step up get the imprint firing in the right direction. lattner has been djing for the best part of two decades, initially gracing the decks at hannover techno parties before word of his talent spread, seeing him strike out to play across germany. he has hosted a radioshow for australias pulse radio, worked as a booking agent for lessizmore and has had releases on labels such as einmaleins musik and wba. his passion for electronic music has shone through in everything he has done and led him to produce some great records, to which can now be added the luna debut >memory<. this single release kicks off with lattners original of >memory<, a solid tech driven slice of house with heavily effected vocal samples and a simple floor shaking groove. this is understated underground house music at its best, deep chunky and highly effective. first of the two remixes comes from ex-peace division man justin drake, who builds on the vibe of the original, thickening out the drums and layering some heavy filters over the sythn stabs to great effect. a straightforward and highly effective arrangement provides everything that is needed in this excellent reworking. finally we have a remix from bearweasel, who have been providing choice cuts in house music over the last year via labels such as tsuba, supernature, bloop and murmur. for their >lazy dub< they take things back to basics and turn in a slab of deep and dubby house with an emphasis on razor sharp percussion and earth moving bass. this is a superb debut from a label that is sure to become a major fixture in 2010.

wurst are going from strength to strength with another killer 12inch, this time from ulysses. latin combo features pretty much no latin elements on first listen although we think we can hear a few claps and percussion samples from a charanga 76 cover of chic that might be influencing the title. both tracks feature dubbed out drums and a warm analog feel throughout making for a pleasant listen and two solid club tracks at the same time.

two cool housy minimal slammers: this is 100% club music. we can see the tracks being played heavily by a lot of djs. relaxed but at the same time moving very rhythmically, both tracks have a modern way of getting the party going

2nd part with more killer tracks, check it out !!

the particular view on a musical future might have been considerably different when olaf hilgenfeld (berlin) met iftah gabbai (jerusalem) for first sessions in 2004. the piano player hilgenfeld used the accordion that time mainly, whilst gabbai was using all instruments available, a computer was among those more by chance. only one year later the duo skinnerbox played regularly on such uplifting, innovative off-partys that came up in the new techno generation again.
that was just the beginning. skinnerbox have developed a purely electronically composed and performed music (partly featuring vocals by elle_p) – that is not based on loops but improvised techno inspired house and minimal house. the roles in the duo are clearly settled: olaf hilgenfeld – moog synthesizer, iftah gabbai – hardware drum machines, max/msp und ableton live.
all these distinct impacts and effects can be heard on their various releases from the last two years, but far better in their live sets. skinnerbox are an experience, taking you on expedition with paralyzing minimal, breaking house, hard-edged techno-jazz, and ambient electronica futurism.
it was a desire to eternalize this play- & colorful diversity, often just caused by the moment, as entire homogeneity. thus, they needed to leave temporarily their environmental techno and minimal house scapes. >king of spades and marmalades< – the result – is a jazz opus wrapped into a disco suitcase. it is a reminiscence as well as going far ahead of daily musical habits, shown not at least by the order of tracks, do not starting with a stunning hit of the album, but with 20 minutes of challenge.

super house monster vinyl !! played by laurent garnier, anthony collins, patrick chardronnet, peter kruder, andrew grant, nils nuernberg, patrick zigon, someone else, acumen … for this 14th vinyl, time has changed launches a new series called >two in one<. one release for two artists. each time, a strong various artist. we invite for this first chapter two artists of our label. timid boy who is really on the roll actually with release on our labels, percusa or monique musique. he delivers two deep house bombs. with smart rhythmic, subtle vocals. and always a perfect sense of groove. john dimas is a fascinating greek producer. we could call him >the king of deep< or maybe >prince of modern house<.

more stuff from detroit finds it way to the world through amsterdams delsin records. so far they have released 2 ep on shakes frictional label. lately strand was very successful with their live performance at the demf 2001 together with anthony shake shakir. message 2 is filled with their soulful and funky techno. the tracks end up somewhere between shakes freestyle beats and cims soft electronic excursions. strings and gentle beats are all around, also going more uptempo and danceable. funky, deep soul techno tracks in good delsin tradition!

juke and ghetto house hero dj gant-man was part of the fools gold family from the start - his remix of kid sisters >damn girl< was on the back of our very first release, quickly followed by production on kid sis >switch board< and shows around the country as her tour dj and hypeman. so naturally, we are very proud to present gants new solo single and debut fg artist release, >juke dat girl<.
from his earliest 12 inches on dance mania, to rocking parties around the world on the rave and club circuts alongside legends like paul johnson, gant has been pushing his signature chicago sound for almost two decades - mixing up rapid-fire juke beats while referencing all the house and disco classics that first paved the way. >juke dat girl< is the latest development of gants hybrid approach, slowing the bpms down to a more universal tempo but keeping the hyper, party-starting energy intact.
the banging original also comes backed with two massive remixes - an amped-up rave version from the heavily buzzed dc duo nadastrom and a groove-filled uk funky house rework from ex-bugz in the attic producers greenmoney. the entire single is a dj must-have, so pick it up and work! and juke! and work! and juke…
