supported by 2000 and one, anja schneider, jesse rose, loco dice, shlomi aber, trickski, tobi neumann, to name a few.. once again theres a real nod to the old school here in a track inspired by arthur russell. rich, warm analogue pads and subtle fx flashes from the space echo build an enchanting groove. the intensity gradually develops with sounds slowly evolving, lending a deep hypnotic feeling to proceedings, until the chord progression opens out and you cant help but smile. a genuine end of night anthem and when dixon does his own edit you know your onto something special... version: double for your money, with an extra version of the original that doesnt open out into the full stabs and maintains a deeper groove. martin landsky remix: with a tight, tribal tom pattern and straight ahead groove martin landsky achieves a darker more spaced out feeling with his remix. he pushes the pads to a dubbed out climax without fully opening out the progression and this fully hits the spot. martin landsky has been making waves as a dj and producer since the mid-nineties and is one of the key producers at steve bugs excellent poker flat recordings and running his own intim records.. hes compiled many mix cds for labels such as poker flat, systematic and the partysan compilation series. his debut album was >in between< for pokerflat and since then hes remixed the great & good as well as producing several stunning releases and jetting about with his box of records

half cousin are a new outfit from the uk that do a quite unique blend of electro and folk. or thats the best we can describe it really.occupying the space between hot chip, junior boys and fujiya & miyagi it shouldnt be too surprising theyve roped in the latter to remix them.... what is surprising though, is that theyve got zero 7 delivering a smooth nu-disco mix as well and to top things off its colognes remixer du jour, justus kohncke with a 4/4 version for the floor.

with tuomas salmela aka phonogenic, we welcome one of the most established finnish techno and house producers, with releases on 2020 vision, poker flat, moodmusic or f-com-munications. salmelas sound has something dark, reminding of the long finnish winters and cold nights. he does not feast in old times or posts the question of oldskool or newskool, but simply has produced something really new, without getting lost in clicks n cuts or doing too much sound research. phonogenic uses sentimental harmonies and stringent direct beats, that dont need complex building arrangements, but come to the point rather quickly and make clear where the journey will take us. similarly to guy gerber, phonogenics productions also are somewhere in between techno and houseand even use elements of trance. however, salmelas productions always make the impression of being well planned and moody

wipe the needle productions present the combined talents of london born producer lee gomez and swedens own mikael nybom. a chance meeting at a london label may have proved unsuccessful but it essentially brought them together, and would see them make quality house music. the duo is known for breaking the boundaries of house music, always flipping between soulful, deep, dark, techy to whatever goes as long as its spelt house.wipe the needle will be releasing their ep including 3 killer cuts â&#128,&#152,all i am, slaves, warehouse 88 through slip n slide, and the feedback has been amazing, with tastemaker support from every corner of the world, including: tedd patterson, tiger stripes, silicone soul, hardsoul, worldless people, charles spencer, murray richardson...

the upon you 006 is the birth hour of the berlin duo fraenzen texas and ruede hagelstein. knowing each other since early childhood they started their dj career together in berlin. by now they are resident dj’s in the watergate club and the two build their studio into the epicentre of the upon you empire, so it is not surprising that the cheapers has become the first own label-act. related to the style of their dj sets that they prefer to play in ping-pong fashion, the fog & frogs e.p. is focusing on the contrast between dark shallows, hypnotic currents and enlightening moments full of fantasies and plenty of inanities. two tracks that stand for the amplitude of their future productions

set to be one of the summers biggest tunes in clubs and festival fields alike, manchesters indie-dance heroes return with the epic floor filler >divebomb< crystal castles adding their mixture of sex.murder.smoke on a speedy remix. thewhip clearly are one of the hardest working bands in pop right now with no fewer than 40 odd shows between now and mid july to find energy for – but fear not, find the energy they will. crystal castles is the most most most whatever band in the world with their way of articulating as if they devoured children while singing. they come from toronto. on their myspace, under >influences<, they answer : murder, glazed-looked girls, knives. whacky

marco nastic aka let s talk serves up a small masterclass in the darker serbian minimal techno skills. the relatively new label traffica showcases three extreme tracks with a spooky vibe, which cover all frequencies from extreme low to high pitch sonar..

forteba was born and raised in hungary where he chooses the occupation of an electronic music producer at the age of eighteen. his early compositions were settled near breakbeat and chill-out area but he soon found his passion in straight rhythms and arrangements inspired by german deep-house stuff. he likes to embed various elements of dub and ambient into straight clear rhythms, so his borders of style are hard to define. he produced some successful singles in his home country as >the garage< together with gábor pasztoriális and got released at hungary-based underground labels……

something slightly different perhaps, but probably even more cutting edge and effective. from definition records we present christian fischer. he is probably one of the most open-minded techno artists around judging his numerous releases which covers just about all aspects of techno music. miracle places is solid stomper with electroid influences and dreamy vocals. this would definitely not be misplaced in a dj hell or terence fixmer set. the b-side is a collaboration between fischer and newcomer the ascent. this results in a dark driven and steady stepper with freaky melody. a solid b-side track for the little hours accompanied by smokemachines in full throttle and full on strobe-action

the cooperation between lindstrom and solale (aka isabel/christabelle) started in 2003 with the release of >music (in my mind)< as the second 12inch on feedelity. now finally they ve decided to do some more music together. this first single from the album that they re currently working on is a slow disco-number based on a 5 minute vocaljam (first-take is always best take…) together with a fat bass-arpeggio and some simple guitars/keys here and there. the lyrics doesnt necessarily pretend to be anything more than a >practise<, but is nevertheless quite good we think ! on the flip-side there s an amazing dub-workout that s given us from a friend that doesnt wanna reveal his identity

this dutch based production team comes to king st. with a solid lovely soulful yet energetic ep. the thick rhythms & twangy guitar of believe is followed by the handsome & deeply basslined cover story, a nice flowing light jazzy piano keyed & guitar riffed instrumental. switch is up next delivering more cool house lounge effect with some sexy sax thrown in for great measure. rounding out this debut ep is never let go, a moody, almost cinematic, deep lounge & house rhythmed production that will cross many genres of club. these all strike a nice balance between the club & lounge bringing a nice even flow to the dancefloor

limited nice price !!!
volume 4 of alexi s already classic sessions series is here! kick off with >wanna be bad?< , sounding like a ride on a slippery escalator alexi builds upon the rubbery groove. a slow story just as the filter tucks and the drums hit the speakers. listen. the track >im tired< resides on the flipside. syncopated dance steps beneath heavy reverbed clave releases the tone. darting between the metallic 303 appearances the tone continues the wobble. more reverb releases hit as the rolling bass alarms the floor. fresh

pulsing warm and deep house with a sparse production that allows for maximum appreciation of a beautiful flute and organthat solo through most of the record, with narration on the a-side by ill-bosstino. flip for the even better instrumental with a sound that falls somewhere between early spiritual life and ferrer & sydenham

it was only a matter of time before matt bandy and alexander east joined forces. between the two of them they have graced such labels as vista, aroma, freerange, nrk, doubledown and amenti. the original bumpa along with alexanders vocals leading the way over dirty, distorted funk bass and warm chords. the remixes take you into deep dub land with tuff beats, chopped vocals and tracky madness. alexanders mix takes a left turn towards a psychedelic soul vibe tailor made for the afterhours

title cut is hot. maximal house laced with abe s acid and deep grooves. the twists and turns are dynamic. resonating basslines and chords cut between the latin beats as abe s vocals highlight his >sound<. brother to brother. sister to sister. when the fever breaks. flip the scrip for >ghost dance< featuring tijana t, an up-and-coming performer and vocalist. long building space before the synth explosion. think miss kitten/jade4u dubbed out on acid. reaching for the stars. a hauntingly psychedelic adventure

busted speaker brew is the second installation by the afternoon coffee boys on clink recordings. this new minimal rocker walks the fine line between minimal and techno with acb’s signature drum programming and short decay instrumentation. the afternoon coffee boys, aka tim xavier and tony rohr, released their debut collaborative release on clink001 last year with one of the bigger eps of 2005: dark blend. their follow-up ep on cocoon, >glitches brew<, was released at the beginning of this year and was a huge success. their music has been praised by top artists such as adam beyer, richie hawtin, sven väth and marco carola, and they show promise as one of the new leading duos of 2006. this ep is an excellent release as acb continues to push the minimal edge with their techno influences by keeping the tracks rhythmic and driving while maintaining the slow, deep and funky pace that djs are currently pursuing in their sets
