dan is a german producer and dj with impeccable taste. previous output for highgrade has been superb and he has some amazing stuff due to drop on moon harbour (where he takes care of promotions in fine style) so hairy claw have handpicked him for the first release of 2008. deep, groovy and with just the right amount of drive, xibeca is a mordern house cut of the highest order. supernature and tsuba artists bearweasel take the techier elements of dans original and twist them into a flowing techhouse cut too - so theres something for the heavier crowds too. there are big things afoot with hairy claw, we ll keep you posted.

like many of us over here at bear towers, giorgio sancristoforo aka tobor disco experience has an unhealthy interest in the 1970s - the instruments of bob moog, vocoders, alan parsons - the cult sci fi series space 1999 - and here hes used the decade as a sonic palette to create the kind of ep that gets the whole office (ie: both of us, on pcs at home, occasionally) sitting up and listening. opener disco moog has already been used on our rools for rules compilation earlier this year and had many beards twitching at the prospect of forthcoming vinyl. shooting star is a more uptempo affair with blissful chords, slap bass, disco handclaps and gios trademark vocoder. i feel loved is a personal favourite of stevie kotey with anthem written all over it. this awesome clavinet workout has such a good vibe about it you cant help feeling nothing but loved. it could easy be mistaken for alan hawkshaw super rare bruton library track.

after some very well received releases for the likes of renaissance and kickboxer records, stephan hinz, who has also turned out some hot tracks alongside martin eyerer, presents >bacala<. its a cheekily warped excursion into hinz‘s deep and melancholic dancefloor world, spurred on by a great theme melody, as if you found yourself in the middle of a medieval rave after a long and victorious battle! tight, familiar percussion works the groove, building towards a dramatic break which introduces more layers of synthesised wonder! check this in the main room for maximum effect. audiomatique key player adultnappers remix comes on strong, with a tougher drive and a slightly more freaked out vibe. trademark hissing percussion works over a finely tuned minimal groove, eventually allowing that haunting melody to show its colours. designed for the more freaky floors, yet still focused on melody and progression, its another great example of adultnappers remixing skills

this brand new and long awaited follow up 12-inch single release by off the record is finally here! its been quite a while since their first release >robot gang ep< (sen-003) came out and took the dancefloors by storm. all the wait has been well worth though, as this talented duo is back on track with their trademark rough & raw drum sounds, killer breaks and bridges. such elements can be found directly from the starting track >tel aviv – japan<, which combines nicely minimalist techno / house sound architexture with simple, yet effective groove, and it grows humble and slowly to reach up its peak moment what goes like: splash! in ya face! there you have it! guaranteed to lighten up any dancefloors, it s dangerously explosive and has amazing flavour on the rocks! having said that, on demand producer and remixer ran shani (crosstown rebels, breastfed, cr2 records) was kind enough to contribute his absolutely fabulous and fantastic remix work of >in your mind< track. he pushed the track to the next level and came up with a truly club oriented pulsating dance track with extra crispy and tasty beats. rotating 360 degrees panorama effect on female vocals coming in as the track rolls further right after the break is surely enough to explode some minds on the dancefloors. watch this man out! perfect end to an extended play here is the only track offering a mini lovestory: >shes lost her mind> is a true and cold hearted, crucial story about a tech savvy clubgirl falling in love in a binary world full of zeros and ones, finding computers and turin machines sexually more attractive companions to better have fun with rather than getting accustomed to that old fashioned missionary position carried out by her human boyfriend. floating, dubby and rather melancholic, but definitely not a sad song! but one thing is for sure regarding that twisted story after all: someone has truly lost her mind somewhere along the way …

charts and big support from: richie hawtin (excellent release), dave clarke (full support), nic fanciulli (big big big), dubfire (this is wicked! rich hot teen tune has been my biggest all weekend), chris liebing, slam (excellent wicked tunes, on top of my charts) xpansul, deetron ( vapors rocks, brings the old days back to mind).... tip !!! even in berlins inexhaustable club scene few musicians developed an operational experience like savas pascalidis: he has been a dj for near twenty years and a producers for about ten years. having released two albums and a series of eps on a couple of a-list-labels, vapor is pascalidis first release on figure. being a specialist in demanding and sepulchral techno sounds, pascalidis tracks fit in seamlessly with the previous records on figure. vapor is a thirteen-minute-long techno epic. an ever-changing acid line coils through the track, keeping the listeners in a firm grip. rich hot teen combines an smart, slim groove with the kind of hook line which ignites excitement and surprise on the faces of the dancers. with its distorted feeling, the online-exclusive low has a rough, provocative attitude

our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year..

stop press- wolfgang gartner has officially stepped up to the big league and this is the record that will put him there. joining the ranks of prydz & deadmau5 his tough electro workouts have been destroying floors, and this one is all about the b-side. if wes craven made electro, this is how it would sound- be afraid children, be very afraid

what a back to back funk winner... we had quite a dilemma on these two... we love the original tracks so much, that it was dificult to chose wether to re edit them or just release them as they were... we couldnt figure out, so we decided to reach a middle ground. a side is totaly redone, with extra programed breaks and clavinet hooks for maximum pleasure, as b side gets the release totaly as the original 12inch intrumental version (yes the one on the original indie release, not the one from the later major repress)... well... totally... not quite, the rythm has been straighten and quantize, so now you can mix it...

the label boss returns to his own yore imprint with another stunning solo release. these are different times indeed for andy vaz if the eps three mighty jams are indicative of where his musics heading. the a-sides over here (a glance over prime time mix) roars from the very first moment vaz unleashes its steaming, latin-tinged groove. a far cry from the techno the yore label head once issued, the tune finds vaz exploring straight up dancefloor territory with a dizzying house pulse that straight up rocks. melodies and voices rise to the surface of the dionysian broil and then just as quickly recede, leaving room for a driving bass line to gain the spotlight. the flips hurry hurry (before its too late mix) is classic deep house just as one expects on yore. a jazz-inflected strut with tilman ehrhorns sax playing, wailing over waves of rollicking piano playing and spirited vocal chants. the energy level doesnt flag for the discs final track, bygone times (nostalgia mix), which stokes a fiery house swing with its locomotive pulse, futuristic synth patterning, and high-velocity bass lines. vazs music has never sounded more impassioned and energized than it does in these three tracks and consequently, just as one might predict, different times feels like its over far too soon

this japanese technopioneer has done some masterpieces last year on well respected labels such as audio assault and zwart. now its time to hit back with a stunning and pounding ep on the new label dynamic reflection. this kid is the headchef of mindcrushing synths, steady pounding beats and crispy percussionloops as the first track so clearly shows. the guys from radial put out an awesome remix on the a2! their rework leads you into the dark paths of techno, a true dancefloor killer! before checking the flipside you better insert your earplugs, cause here mr. hiyama comes up with an narly mind blowing stomper. he shows us how stuff like this is meant to be done and has no mercy on those eardrums. secondly there is another remix from the spanish wonderboy reeko, who takes you into the deep and dark dungeons of his spanish artgallery. with his heavy basslines and his extraordinary uplifting percussion loops he pushes himself to another level with this one! all n all a superior first release on this new and pure techno label, which perfectly reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come

jorge has been a central figure on the latin-american musical stage since the 80s-first as the co-founder of chiles beloved political rockers los prisioneros, then as a restlessly inventive solo musician and as one half of gonzálo martínez, the experimental electronic duo with dandy jack (martin schopf). now based in mexico city and working alongside loreto otero, jorge presents los updates, a new project combining electro-pop with an unusual approach to minimalist house and techno. designed both as a studio affair and a live performance, los updates expands its collaborative scope by reaching out to a crew of well-known chilean and european musicians who were central to the development of chilean techno in the mid 90s: ricardo villalobos, dandy jack, luciano and tobias freund, all of whom deliver defiantly original remixes across a series of 12-inch singles. tobias. fills the a-side with his remix of >pictures of you< simply one of the most dazzling things youll hear this year. tobias. recent string of work-singles for wagon repair and ostgut ton, as well as remixes for two armadillos and jim rivers-has shown him to be a master of the hypnotic groove, and here he entrances like never before, laying down a stark 808 drum pattern which he threads through dubby keys, analog explosions and liquid bass figures. on the b-side cadenzas luciano is getting late and brings his inimitable touch to the remix of >etting late<. luciano reworks the song into a lean, bleepy groove that marries the cool restraint of vintage dbx to lucianos own effusive style, buoyant and percussive and completely enveloping..

once again, tuningspork records ventures away from its trademark funky house in exchange for something a little more unexpected. last summer, the label issued >free your mind< (tsextra), a baleraric groove crafted by jay haze and ricardo villalobos. now comes another non-sequitur: >comptine d un autre été: l après-midi< (tsultra), mr. tiersens piano composition reconstructed for the dancefloor by jay. french composer yann tiersen has a minimalist approach that many electronic producers could learn from. his piece (the title of which roughly means >nursery rhyme of another summer: the afternoon<) provides the basis for this melancholy track. djs addicted to hyperbolic effects plugins might hesitate to play this - but those who appreciate subtlety will be rewarded here. tiersens original composition is tastefully manipulated into a track that makes sense in a club context, yet sets itself apart from the usual techno/house fare, providing a rare introspective moment on the dancefloor. and it might be worth mentioning: if you play this track and the floor doesnt fill up with ladies, then it probably means youre djing at a gay club. (not that theres anything wrong with that!)

i get deep, i get deep, i get deeper. that should actually read he gets deep. dj roland clark, that is one of the rulers of the sermonizing vocal, roland steps up to the pulpit once again with his latest release, black in my soul, on king street. this man not only has black in his soul but also an excellent sense of humor, including the ability to work it into his productions, and thats something we all have time to appreciate. swedish producer extraordinaire tiger stripes pumps us full of his dark fuel creating an intricate, nicely rhythmic and dancefloor dramatic track. his dub vox retains its deep and dark stature but twist synths rolands voice into a fiendish narrator. west coast producer david hernandez funkifies this tune on his deep west mix but keeps the deepness well intact. say it loud and dance proud!

the finns from new judas are back with a new release to convince you all to believe the hype. this time pets on prozac meets obi blanche on a split 12 where tropical beats meets gypsy tech. pets on prozac hailing from helsinki, finland knows how to turn nocturnal melancholy into tropical psyche house. starting out as a noisy punk techno band back in 2005 the set up was a trio of handsome men all bringing a taste of their own into a solid blend. after getting their debut single out on uk label house cat recordings they quickly earned their fifteen minutes of nme fame and got recognition on the blog roll. obi blanche, the man behind the twitchin and grindin beat music he himself has dubbed hobo-tech has come a long way to greet you. the tech-savvy finn has travelled a winding road of differnt sounds from his position as a guitar vendor in the rural viking midlands to his current studio chair in his new haven berlin. starting out with a technics 1200 turntable and a numark mixer he began to produce hip hop beats in his teens, smoothly progressed via mod to idm and onwards to produce his nowadays sweaty hifi vs. analog electro mosh

continuing the spectacle that is the poker flat tournament series, we present two more surefire lessons in dancefloor mechanics. after his last storming >zeitgeist e.p< for poker flat, londons very own dark knight raudive aka oliver ho has crafted a powerfully hypnotic club tool that truly exists within its own world of unique and unmistakable sound. carefully executed beats roll forward as an astounding landscape of colourful vocal suggestions and emotions swirl and evolve. its a heady, uncompromising track that certainly stands out as its own, but could complement many different dj situations, from driving peak time sets, to free-flowing after-hours sessions… heading up the opposition for looks set to be a fine tournament indeed, minimise head-honcho and continual key-player donnacha costello brings things down and dirty with his unforgiving and foreboding >i must be going<. a catchy proto-acidic bass line snakes a winding path through a dense atmosphere of late-night paranoia. perfectly crafted beats push the energy along with a casual swagger, whilst the pleasingly tripped out vocal undertones leave the imagination to run wild

really dope release, this guy has a unique style of his own! on deep breath he shapes up the perfect banging techno tune for peak time play! get down is a dirty and raw cyber-techno-funk nugget to please all those who like their grooves fat and nasty! gladiator is a fantastic minimal work-out in the same vein as fortek colleague stefan tretau. subliminal deep and well balanced. schnutenzieher is a wicked techno tune in the same vein as some of the dj koze stuff.

played by karotte (great stuff / cocoon rec)!! pacey lynn woke up. in the distance one can hear the first bars of her song and she has to hurry- to be on the dance floor on time. the beat is driving her. her heart is beating in the four-fours and bevore the magic melody is triggered she raises her arms and kisses the dj. and he takes her in his >big balloon< that, without any ballast elegantly dances through the sky exciting the left behind earthlings. such as the >phantom< does- dressed in a thick bass coat in paceys world does his nuisance. a true story, musically told by marcus meinhardts stories. can be cached on the upon you 016
