nice price deal !!! nother pounding hybrid set of low-end killers here from hot-flush, kicking off with the tumbling rhythms and wobbling sublow of ?deep under? - its a track that teeters on the brink of breaks science throughout, keeping itself wrapped up in a relentless bass envelope despite the distractions brought on by constantly evolving skitters - mighty stuff. the rhodes-inflected breaks and bass clash of ?sparkle? offers time for reflection on the flip, borrowing a melodic underlay from some abandoned, dusty jazz-club somewhere strange, tugging you back underground with its careful arrangement if frequencies at the lowest end of the spectrum. righteous

after several remixes and longtime waiting our artist h.o.s.h. releases his next own ep. and he is back with a real banger! >the valve< sounds connected to steppenwolf, but feels more like a coninue: more modern, more pushing and more groove. like hell! a balkan- flute plays sometimes, but very harmonic to the track. heebie-jeebie! >super sick bowl< is a fantastic groove, too, but a bit more housy like classic recordings. awesome, never boring housebeat spiced with two cool and sick breaks. this loop could run forever. single words work perfect with the beat and provide a stimulating sexappeal. under a fig tree starts more technoid with the sound, but has still a groovy house for 3 minutes til the break - and out of this break a new sound is evolving. on the one this track continues with a warm bass hook, leaving the technoid sounds behind. what a twist! just beautyfull! thanx hosh

brilliant tracks again from lovebirds and winding road records. in the shadows is a pumping techno-house track with explosive vocals - and possibly one of winding roads best moments to date. it has all the right ingredients to be the tune of summer 2008, but theres no doubt its still cool enough for the discerning dj to play over and over again. this is going to be the >track of the night< in hundreds of dj sets over the next few months! theres also an instrumental included, under the name avlium. here, the vocals are stripped away to leave a slice of robot disco which is absolutely essential for the darker club djs. this track has been getting massive international dj support. the final track on the package is sarice, which injects a scintillating dose of growling underground darkness. winding road do the business again

since the year 2000, belfastian dj and producer phil kieran is providing us with a constant flow of outstanding records and remixes – among them for novamute and soma – with his energetic sound from the capital of northern ireland. not least has he gotten awareness with his alloy mental project on fatboy slims label skint. his new maxi for cocoon designs two blueprints of uncompromising techno between tradition and modernity. whereas the post-acid sounding a side can be indeed called >wasps under a toy boat<, displaying ongoing >wasp sounds< which are shifted against each other, the break- and bass-orientated b side >tartan paint< sets new standards regarding the sound abstraction beyond popular expectational attitudes. and thus stays a highly functional dj weapon for intelligent techno bashes.

typical sju deep workout here with spanish vocals great remix by glenn underground under his cvo moniker with a great tribute to kraftwerk mix !! special backstock

dj play - john digweed, pete tong, eric prydz, henan cattaneo ... guy j makes a most welcome return to bedrock after his debut release with the label last year in the form of the excellent save me / night loss which got rave reviews and top dj support. under pressure is a great follow up and has become a firm favourite with john digweed standing out as one of the highlights of his many wmc sets as well as its inclusion on his most recent transitions 4 cd

the sword is a colossal, high energy powerhouse. utilizing a potent combination of intense songwriting chemistry, eye opening creativity and talent and a distinctly unique vision, the sword is, without question, one of heavy musics most electrifying new bands. more ambitious, more accomplished and simply bigger, gods of the earths huge, mountaintop friendly hooks, thunderous drumming and oceanic bass lines cut through the air like a scythe, while the ominous vocals of frontman j.d. cronise weave fantastical tales rife with myth and mythology. waves of powerful riffs and low end thunder dominate songs. this is a must for fans of all things heavy!

homewreckers - close your eyes til the morning the amazing success of their last release >its about time< challenged the homewreckers to push their sound a little further out. >close your eyes til the morning< is hardcore groove with a great, burning synth bass that funks along until new york singer dennis legree brings some excitement to the proceedings with his tremendous voice. its pure underground deep house - intense, abstract and dramatic. no wonder that felix da housecat and marshall jefferson supported those guys when they were teenagers! a vital alternative to the melodic clichés and rhythmic orthodoxy of the electronic music mainstream. langenbergs remix gets the b-side under way. backed up by a strong beat it rolls steadily ahead with unflagging propulsion. next up is >hot hot hot<, an exciting up-tempo number which gives kemo another opportunity to show his lyrical feeling while >smile< slows down the pace easing into a down-home hip-hop affair. this is the second of four records representing the vinyl collectors edition of the homewreckers forthcoming album >american ruhr<

the original of song for marie and elise is a melancholic pop jewel, which was made for the movie in your head. the remix comes from the disco superstars aeroplane (of which vito is also a part of). they keep the sweet melody, but put a fatass bassline under it to shook to your very heart and soul and make this an outstanding remix. flip over you ll get code 7429. it combines 90s rave sounds with a stunning piano making this a dancefloor sureshot. hot hot hot!

frischer minimal / tribaler output der zwischen techno & house rangiert

the kazey & bulldog picture disc is followed by the first d2s release from our hero rod lee - a baltimore legend in his own right and in our eyes the no. 1 club producer, bar none. this super aggro dude has serious issues. he just needs to open his mouth and kids cry flames. for his first d2s release, rod commits re-mastered versions of two of our favourite cuts produced by the man. we first heard >understand< when we scored a bunch of scottie bs ebay auctions, and to this day its one of the best baltimore tracks ive ever heard. you can play this sh*t anywhere and the crowd just freaks out. hip hop heads love it, techno heads love it, even your girlfriend loves it. we coupled it with rods simple but ultra effective remix of the eurythmics classic, >sweet dreams<. when the catch an attitude tour dropped in on our club in glasgow, a-trak dropped this beast for all of 30 seconds and people went nuts. bannanas even. you could argue that the eurythmics remix thing is overdone and outdated, but if you did so, wed know for sure you hadnt heard rods version. anyway... we tracked it down and got it on the flip, so really this is more like a double a. both cuts are re-mastered (but still raw like the day they were made) and cut loud on heavy 12inch vinyl

we are very happy to present you a long time buzzing release finally out on sismic music. its called bloody rain signed under the name of the heels to give it a special flavour as it sounds pop with a strong and melodic hook! various artists put their hands on very original & stylish remixes such as fat phaze (who has remixed the daft punk), slow motion (one of sismic music rosters) and the two winners of the remix contest from october 2007: jonathan perea and leeroy daevis.

a very special compost release with two very rare tracks! the a-side features a great remix of beanfields >tides< with amazing vocals from bajka - of course its not quite up there with the unbelievable carl craig mix but then that would be an uphill struggle. ripperton from the lazy fat people adds his moody, deep slant to the track, less anthemic than carl craig but a more than welcome alternative. this mix was available for a short time as bootleg with ricardo villaloboss remix of depeche modes >sinner in me< on the flip and sold out quickly despite the poor sound quality. finally, one year later, this great tune sees it official release completely remasterd in chrystal clear sound - get it, play it, love it! in 2006 the duo tom wieland and marc frank - better known as 7 samurai - crafted a fine remix of invisible sessions under their panoptikum moniker. when michael reinboth considered this remix for his new future sounds of jazz compilation the guys decided to contribute even a little bit more: an excusive new version which became a definitely highlight of the whole compilation. the panoptikum 2007 remix surprisingly takes a leaf out of innervisions book for a smooth deep houser with a slighty techy sound and a touch of detroit in the vein of Âme or henrik schwarz. in contrast to the vocal version included on fsoj this 12inch features the trippy instrumental version. ace stuff! two must have tracks - all killer, no filler!

dj support - adam beyer, loco dice. marko nastic, marco bailey plus all the usual suspects not long after his discovery of techno, it was the harder, more precussive tastes of the swedish sound that initially inspired indiana based kyle geiger as a dj for years before the genres overall sound took a slower and softer turn. still loving the energy and power of the earlier phases of techno, while being greatly influenced by long time friends and minimal techno veterans such as jpls and skoozbot

probably the most popular hard techno imprint around and the brainchild of jackmaster marco remus! the precious pressings were sold out in no time and the crowd is still craving for more jacked-up beats. dj urban (pro-jex, kne deep, 6 feet under) straight from the usa steps and delivers! jackin beats, nasty samples and pure dancefloor mayhem

g dub get back to their own label under the double zero guise with the absolutely huuuuuge forum fannies a cunning mix of digital bleeps, rolling breakbeats and distorted bass. one that will get the messageboards flashing and no mistake!

imagine having six feet! once you crank this one up you would be making some severe moves with all six of m to this amazing 4 track banger from nitram! 6 feet under is the offshoot of abstract records run by kaoz. these labels produce a constant flow of the best hard techno material around, and involve artists like robert natus, marco remus and arkus p. nitram supplies us with nothing less! fuckstone is a monsterr!

limited edition coloured vinyl !! superb dubby and melodic deep detroit tracks at it best !! highly demanded !!

the new brachial 6feet under comes with extremly stompin hard techno trax by torsten kanzler & alexander weinstein as well as tonica labelhead psycho

played by anja schneider , tiefschwarz ... voodeux is the deep techno moniker of tanner ross & kilowatts (from dirtybird.) on >the curse< ross & watts expand their catalog of sound beyond the funk and into the sublime. instead of swiggles and bounce, we get creeping basslines and chilling echoes. with >thriller< as a distant relative, side a1 makes for the graveyard, zombies in tow, and as the track matures, so do the chills on the back of your spine. >the spell< goes one step further, taking the sound of a distant train, shards of ghoulsound and an ancient wind under a pulsing beat and chiming melodies. its halloween on wax. mike shannon, founder of cynosure and master of all things trippy, puts his own well-crafted stamp on this dark sound. shannon has recorded for ~scape, force inc. and many more. and no ones gonna save you from the beats about strike

this is a debut release of kaoru inoue aka chari chari for mule. he is a one of the most popular japanese house music dj & producer since end of 90s. maybe people still remember that he has joined to the compilation of bossa tres jazz. recently, he is pushing & producing to his roots music like a progressive rock, balearic sound under his own name & aurora (the project with guitarist dsk). these his original two tracks of a side will be reminded the sound of can, holger czukay, klaus schulze, manuel gottsching etc and this releases highlight of todd terje remix is a dreamy long barealic tune!!

new 10inch ep from the man who brought you gotan project (philippe cohen solal), under his solal/moonshine session moniker. features verlan lanu remix by robag wruhme.
