for flash lützenkirchen delivers three very classy dancefloor burners. first up there is >enter the moonlight<, an enchanting piece of thumping peak time business. a big bass, pumping beats and some great oriental sounds combined with far-out effects create a unique atmosphere. modern styles meet oldskool feelings! >on the shore< is even more oldskool than that. the fat and wobbly bassline pushes the track forward and creates the perfect antagonism to the warm effects and clicky minimal beats. the highlight - however - is the wonderfully written melodic piano piece that turns this track from wicked into wow! beautiful and tough, oldskool and fresh, slick and funky - all at the same time. this one is going to be huge. listen for yourself! at last there is >pokemon companion<, a more direct and solid piece of minimal tech. a drum’n bass like powerfully grumbling bass, and yet another memorable synthie pattern that seems to grow out of the buzzing loop like a spring flower out of wet grass - naturally and wonderful!

first 500 limited edition on red transparent vinyl! we are very proud to present the debut of 21 year old tim toh, a fresh producer with such a huge talent and character in his tracks, we guess, we didn t hear for the last decade in house music! that s a big goal to claim, but it s also the reason, we signed him for a three-part series called >join the resistance< and this is part 1. the a-side is like an intro to the whole series, starting with some charming detroitish-sequences and a smooth piano, while the beat shapes itself naturally out of the track with raw percussions and a thumpin kick... from then on it twists and turns into sweet eternity…timeless! the b-side is beatdown rhythmic wizzadry and a tool par excellance, polyrhythmic percussions and a beat that will shake every floor you dare to play it

während das glow für nasenbluten in der technofraktion sorgt und sich wie marcel dettmann beim rave-girlanden aufhängen anhört wird flo filla seiner detroiter herkunft gerecht und grooved ohne viel schnörkel immer der nase nach
