i dont have much to say about the dahlbacks. jesper is one of my best friends, even though he is a serious pain in the ass. john made 6 records in the time it took you to read this sentence....and he just turned 11. every once in a while they take about 40minutes out of their hectic schedule (john stops making records...to make a record, while jesper take s a break from the grueling demands of being a condo association manager) to make a record for turbo. in all honesty i think they give me the tracks they forgot about..... cuz you know if they really loved them they would keep them for their own lame labels. so, instead i leave you with the music. 3 tracks that prove again that somehow, against all odds, when you put cousins in a studio they bring out the best in each other. jespers maverick genius and time-honed wisdom tempers johns youthful passion and naive exuberance.. while johns youngbrain redefines the game and reenergizes the old master. the two cousins locked in a dance that continually blurs the lines between student and teacher, a sonic sibling rivalry a musical match with one clear winner ....you!!

scan is born like a new bet, towards electrohouse sounds of minimal side. its philosophy is going to be publishing few products but with very high quality, looking for going one step beyond in the new tendencies. on the first release of the label we have luxury artists that from one of the most cosmopolitan cities of the old continent and under the nickname of dual core, they hide their more electronic and avant-garde side. we can assure you that quality is totally guaranteed

julio navas and david amo (main responsibles) of fresco records strike alone again. if you remember memory cell, electronic electro, pressure, alto voltaje or open your eyes, you will not forget this new release. every time they join forces with other producers they create big tracks but when they work alone their imagination flows to other limits modelling other ways to understand and feel the electronic house music. pamtomaket and allioli are 2 very popular courses from catalonia (barcelona), they want to do a tribute to their country doing 2 really amazing tracks !!! >pamtomaket<: a big big big bassline makes the dancefloor go crazy. b-side >allioli<: overwhelming track. basic instincts make this track have the best results with people

nice and chunky, keep up doing what you do so wellintroducing deadset: an act that crafts house music in some of its many disguises. the two man team used to do a lot of that, and a little bit of this. before deadset1 and deadset2 came into being, they played in the sandpit with the likes of muse, miss kittin, royksopp, tiefschwarz, justin timberlake, scissor sisters and with labels such as fine, blue fin, souvenir, made to play, wall of sound and tsuba. now they do a lot of this and only a little bit of that. disregarding this, that and the other, their tipping point has arrived… they have also been allowed to play around at the likes of weekend (berlin), panoramabar (berlin), fabric (london), the end (london) and countless other joints. lovingly nurtured, their forthcoming album, keys open doors, is about to be released into the wild from the arms of jesse rose and his front room label. music for now, with an eye on tomorrow, made with sounds of then. deadset 1 is tom mangan. deadset 2 is cass. cass + mangan is dead. long live deadset

and so we have, >irst_te?< the word is bay area fillmore slang for >thirsty?< worthy saw it painted on a fence somewhere and made a track about it. this could be a breakout year for worthy who has already had multiple plays on radio one of his >whistler< remix and >that funkin noise< from his digital label, katabatic. >irst_te?< is bouncy and fun and it sounds kind of like it was inspired by the band in the original star wars with the alien clarinet players and the blue elephant on keys. claude vonstroke takes it darker and more techno, with an epic sounding build that could fit into almost any set

classic jackin chicago tracks a must have

only unreleased new tracks from dj deeon and slugo....though he s revered among chicago djs and around the world as the original master of ghetto dance music, deeon started small, on chicagos south side. he sold his dj mixtapes in the parking lot where he lived, and played house parties in the projects. these crowded living room parties started the feeling and inspiration for the sound deeon produced, music he simply refers to as, >for the strippers, for the street<. while tracks like >accelerate< on dance mania were doing well overseas, he was getting little support or play from local chicago clubs. deeon calls ghetto house the >stepchild of chicago house<. eventually the incredible response from his music forced the clubs to concede and play his records. these >techno with a ghetto edge< tracks have found way to the decks in clubs around the world. deeon found his home on chicagos own dance mania label, where he released hits like >let me bang<, >who you wit<, >da dick suck< and >the freaks<. deeon is currently signed to databass records, which is rereleasing most of his back catalog with new remixes!
