another big release on winding road records!! two of the hottest names in deep tech house music, shur-i-kan and milton jackson, team up for 3 epic adventures through sizzling electronic waters. this ep is slick stuff indeed, and rivals their best work to date on freerange. strangezensation is a heavy burst of analog chords and bumping bass, pinned down by the crispiest beats you heard all day. swap shop is a subtle brain fiddler with mischievous hooky chord stabs, which builds, builds and builds again. itzwotwedoo is an explosive tune which slowly unfolds into a tough cyber-boogie new-school rave sound. essential.

gavin herlihy has long been one of dance musics most respected journalists and djs, and with two acclaimed releases on mood music last year and more recently a brace of top-drawer remixes for unkle and alexkid, hes fast becoming one of its hottest producers. freshly relocated to berlin, his debut 12inch for kindisch, >opium haze<, confirms his status as a skilled and innovative player on the house and techno scene. >opium haze< is as heady and intoxicating as its title implies, an effortlessly psychedelic piece of music thats nonetheless firmly rooted on the dancefloor. it begins with a clicky, funked-up conga tattoo cloaked in disorienting effects which partly obscure the jazzy melody rising up from the mixs depths. out of that sticky, dubby fug emerges an insistent, upward-tripping piano line and synthesized string stabs - together forming the kind of rave-ready hook that will cause immediate damage in the club. herlihy is superbly heavy on the edit, using an eastern woodwind sample, disembodied voices and various percussive elements to deliver build after build, drop after explosive drop. >opium haze< is a hugely satisfying piece of music, and a club anthem-in-waiting. >professional exit< is a more stripped-down but no less accomplished affair, driven by a warm, rippling bassline and phased electronics. before the percussion intesifies and interlocks, offsetting a sparse one-note synth line which hangs in the air, thickening it with understated drama. at once seductive and unsettling, experimental and club-oriented, >professional exit< is indeed a professional end to a highly professional 12inch

with there trademark gold-colored vinyl pressings and forward thinking sound - the dinner label created a serious buzz amongst many serious players! the talented anton pieete finally receives the credits he deserves and many of his productions (and co-productions with for example bart skils) are charted by top jocks like adam bayer, 2000 and one and shinedoe! museum is a collab between radial man jeoen liebregts and anton. the boys spit super clean, hefty material and fuse dark offbeat with stripped down grooves. this is another showcase of topnotch productional craftsmanship! they do deserve there own money!

earlier this year, todd sines inaugurated yore with the slamming techno-funk of the .xtrak release back_up ep and now returns for round two with dont stop. without losing the stripped-down, minimal tech-house funk essence of the .xtrak sound, sines ups the acid-house ante considerably in the new material. the old-school title cut makes an immediately vivid impression by repeating the insistent vocal hook >dont stop<-both command and mantra-over a towering backbeat. >cut to the chase< does exactly that with funky handclaps and syncopated swing, while the b-sides low-riding >unreflect< pairs dropouts and bass-crawling boogie. slightly different in character, the squiggly acid-techno track >quantum mechanics< is as precision-tooled as its title suggests. despite the subtle shift in stylistic emphasis, dont stop offers a splendid complement to the earlier release

>spark< is set to light up floors with its electric beats & wobbly bassline, and crucially, its slammin piano riff. on the flip >suspect nation< goes down a cooler electr-prog route

with that old speed garage alarm and strings that will make you think of the rough early days of drum n bass, this smashing remix surely makes for a massive dancefloor hit! cut up, re paste and break it down! new york based japanese producer yellowtail, formally known as hiro awanohara, hits us up with his debut release on the raw fusion label. and what a debut its got all those little finesses we like, raw, dirty, cut and paste beats with deep and sawed up bass lines. but not only that, we also get a fresh rhyme (caribbean style!) by uk based mc juakali to make us get jump up on it! and folks, this is just the flipside?on the a side of the vinyl release we get to go back in time, michael j fox style! its like something taken out of an old dark and dirty garage club in london back in the mid 90?s when yellowtail remixes his own original grunt with this ripgroove like 4/4 production.

for number 29 on his pickadoll label john dahlbaeck engaged his old buddies dada life to lay down another neotrance epic club monster. the first remix comes from david west alongside swedens house beauty ida engberg. the second mix on b2 comes from the man who invented the h-bomb, style of eye.

quagmires third >artist ensemble< ep introduces the first four new artists to the labels roster. this quartet hails from dutch soil, william kouam djoko residenting in amsterdam as mical rhebess, pevanu and tim woestenenk living in the so called >backcorner< of east holland, near the german border. non of these young and talented producers released solo on vinyl before, which gives quagmire the absolute releasing debuts for these close friends of the label. william kouam djokos serialism repetition fills the complete logo side. this loopy bomb sucks you in a whirlpool of wet percussions and snareriffs. transitions are hardly recognizable and changing elements seem to continue. dynamic and delicate techhouse as never seen before on quagmire. tim woestenenks sunset love on the info side sets the elegant mood for this ep. microhouse in its purest form, stripped down to the most functional sounds. a big stab and a broken oriental stringinstrument give this track a incredible sense. timeless club music

kitsune season compilation returns, the fifth of its kind and still homemade and gold wrapped. on board this time there are young girls, sea dogs, californian twins, young wolves and loonies. a wonderful mess, a spontaneous shamble that screams out loud. all of this because of gold rush fever.

dirty electrofunker with this irresistible female vocal by avari. includes a massive stripped down to the point dan marciano & franck dona remix on the flip. not to be missed

you may already know barem (aka mauricio barembuem) from his releases on (un)foundsound, pariter and phonocult or from his remixes on resopal, mos ferry and einmaleins. if so you, wont be surprised in the slightest to find him surfacing on minus with never better than late to round off what has been another groundbreaking year for this ubiquitous label. the electro flavoured broken beats of so serial (digital only) make it the perfect tool for opening a set or for shifting the mood. the melancholy tones, the massive snare reverbs and the low, stuttering acid bassline gradually turn up the pressure before eventually triggering the 4/4 section, establishing the perfect platform to propel the eve! ning onto the next level. the fantastically titled ears conclu! des the release,offering more subsonic trickery in a similar vein. the percussive licks shift up and down amid a wash of reverbs and delays, while the bubbling bassline motors forward, keeping the scuttling efx in check

limited one sided edition !! far out is just that: a track that goes the distance, but without pretension or unnecessary fanfare. more understated than your typical anthem, it cruises in stealth mode, winding a refined, percussive groove ever tighter, threaded onto a pattern of needle-nosed toms that glides almost unnoticed under your skin. unnoticed, that is, until the tracks main riff comes crashing down like an awning full of icicles, sharp and cold and heavy. but sebo ks sense of restraint is such that he never beats us over the head with it, so to speak. instead he lets the groove spiral on, tightening it as he goes and whipping up chilly little sinewave twisters along the way. you can leave your mittens at home, though, because theres enough heat in the rolling bass line to keep you warm all winter long

powerful reduced techno for the peaktime. rasmus hedlunds first release on resopal demonstrates his profound grasp of reduced groove with four powerful cuts.the full e.p. will work on the way up, in peak time, and on the way down, and it is all in all tracky enough and tuneful enough to be a great mixing tool anywhere in the set.

next hypnotical gel abril two tracker !! on the a-side, >200 grams< cannot be the weight of this heavily bouncing and hypnotizing tune. with a distinctive quirky line and a heavily bouncing groove like we are used from gel abril, “200 grams” keeps you moving all the way up to the main break, and then takin you back into the dubby old school groove. if the a-side was freaky and bouncing, well the ep title-track >your face is a mess< on the b-side can only be descibed as a dirty mindblowing minimal/tech house track with a druggy vocal all over and a very stripped down synth line

this newcomer already appeared on cardiac arrest, definition of mayhem and beast and shows an impressive capability to channel his bad tempers and aggressive moods into various tracks. this stuff will make your hair go up and for a couple of minutes you will experience what its like to chow down a portion of hallucinating mshrmz whilst suffering from a serious case of malaria fever!

fabio genito, hailing from benevento italy, debuts his first release undefined feeling with vega records. the fg mahogany mix hypnotically drives from beginning to end with stabs of synth chords and infecting crisp percussion that will have the dance floor in pure sudore (sweat in italian). while the fg mahogany drums mix is stripped down to bare thump.

fresh fried aka chris wood, berovic & leicher !! big with meat, dorian paic, pascal feos, federico molinari, matt star, karotte

the title track recalls those half forgotten dreams of positivity and optimism inspired by early us house music… a nostalgic arrangement of arpeggiated synths, high string lines, analogue drum machines and a 1980s vintage, new order like stepped bassline. housemuzik 1.2,3 takes us into much dark territory, dragging a similar palette of sounds into a dense psychedelic mix of acid guitar, pitched down demonic vocals and disorientating spacial effects. dont listen to this with the lights off! fajr dub is an epic, stoned dub collage built around classic space echo delay & feedback tricks, spectral voices and a shifting synth bass pattern, all underpinned by a soft pulsing backbone reminiscent of rhythm & sound productions.

here we have one of the most anticipated ad ltd release. its a two track ep displaying these two friends solo production skills. on one side we have xpansul throwing down >formula humo< massive dance floor filler with one of those twisted melodic hooks that he has come to be famous for. on the flip, label boss alexi delano presents us with >operations< a deeper but equally as high of a quality track that has been circulating amongst the techno elite for over a year

this is the second instalment in a selection of electronic re rubs of some of the main lovemonksters. stripped down for some atmospheric dance floor dub action by swiss techsoul lover alex attias, german production team dublex inc and garcynoise, hailing from barcelona.
