a track is a track, is a track is a track. but not every track is just a track. trackletons stands for much more than just tracks. on his debut ep you wont get to hear the substandard generic ordinary music that can be found everywhere. he has it all. disco, house, minimal, techno, you name it, he brings it. welcoming our latest act >trackleton< with his first appearance in form of his >jump ep< adds a variety of deep styles to this 3-tracker like we have not heard it a long while. the a side is a detroit influenced dance-floor sweeper with melodies so deep and beats so sharp that will leave no escape from making heads turning and get your feet dancing. b1 plays it cool all around the bass-line, laying things down in a old-school sounding manner - minimal to the bone, but done so cleverly to ensure that the basics simply sit right and will get you moving. the b-2 track then surprises you with more than just a hint of disco that will be standing out from the norm and creates a nice diversity. one does not often hear music so warm, on point, deep and yet fully dance-floor oriented

tom dazing is an upcoming artist from brussels who has released on mb selektions, heimatmelodie, coincidence, veryverywrongindeed and toysforboys already and with his new ep >black magic< releases his debut on trapez. tom has a powerful production technique and a cool old school appeal which he fuses with modern sound design. his new release features >divulge< and >cable strap< two peak time techno trax with a heavy 303 bassline that will rock all big floors. >divulge< the a-side is destined to be a berghain hit. the track is a monster. its attitude is down to earth... keeps it simple but effective. >cable strap< on the flipside is a new modern version of music that we believe used to be the post chicago sound manifested by robert armani and friends. >cable strap< is a super cool heavy rocker with a siren sound that will turn clubs upside down, joined by delicate use of 303 basslines. >temper< the digital bonus track has more of an atmospheric deep feeling to it! tom has been voted in belgium in the top 10 chart of the best national producers in 2007 and 2008 and was voted into the to chart top 10 national live acts

after the first single of this adventure witch is the modern electrics 12inchs series we are more than proud to introduce a couple of guys from berlin who are the speak of the moment due to their extra cool remixes on labels such as om records or loudeast. we are talking about chubby dubz : a fresh, innovating & classical (at the same time) conception of house music that will delight those looking for advanced/old fashioned vibrations. after sometime speaking with oliver siebert (oliver $/made to play) and gene siewing, we decided to give the green light to this little project witch shows the longest and most solid musical expression from these two new comers until the date. a collection of four original tracks that combine past & future sounds that surely will be remembered as one of the early works of this german/ usa duo. as always in our constant effort to offer the highest standard in the market we have pressed again in transparent vinyl & sleeves powered with the superb mastering of sonic vista studios (om records,classic,etc..) always looking for that chicago >warmed tubes< sound that we love

a new beginning is always an euphoric and scary step towards the unknown. the euphoria comes right after the original idea, when first signs of feasibility are shown. then comes reality. i think that nobody is able to eradicate reality (or what a common society sees of it) out of his mind, though art allows us to escape temporally this fiction. its not an easy task to achieve and artists hold in their hands, intellects, souls and guts a great responsibility. terpsichór? will be a support that transfers this responsibility to others: the artists, the public, the crowd, the souls, the dancefloor
