rinse fms breakfast show host, dva is a producer with a unique take on the uk funky bug, blending the stiff 8-bar funk of grime with a super-supple rhythmic sensibility, sewing neon colours with a laid back precision into his tracks. >natty< is a prime example, drums stagger like they are about to topple over, squelchy bass synths lock together a tough tribal drum pattern, liquid metal trickles around in the mix, and these contrasting elements react with explosive results on the dancefloor. on >ganja<, a cartoonish ring-tone-friendly synth melody worms its way around tight soca-esque drums and housey organ stabs. factor in the depth-charge 808 subs, steel drums and sparingly used ragga chat and you ve got a technicolour hyperdub debut fresh for 2010.

fresh 2010 repress !! maybe silent servant (aka john mendez) has been at the coloured sweeties and fizzy pop, as the two tracks for >negative fascinations< are decidedly more upbeat than offerings on his previous three sandwell district releases, or indeed his own historia y violencia label. that s not to say that they are exactly cheery though - the string-like drones of >discipline< will doubtless send a shiver up the spine of many a raver - but >demonstration< certainly ups the tempo by a notch or two compared to the much deeper flavours that we have become accustomed to. an accomplished enhancement of his production, whilst remaining true to his trademark textured sound...

next sharam bomb!! including christian smith remix!

this e.p. is a composition by two artists who release their feelings thru their music. g.marcell presents >breathe<. on this side of the e.p. breathe is a musical adventure were g.marcell expresses a time period of release from the everyday drama. sometime in our everyday life we need just a little relief from the everyday pressure of the issues we encounter. this is the reason for the inhale mix and the exhale mix. the inhale mix is the more laid back groove where as the exhale mix is the more energetic groove strictly for dancing. on the other side of the e.p. >necessary sanctuary< is amirs experience of the dance floor when he hit the club scene. the original mix is full of energy and a for sure crowd pleaser. the 3am mix is more of the mellow late nite groove. over all, the e.p. is something for everyone to relate to in one way or another.

supported by: eddie amador, reboot, osunlade, nick curly, anthony collins, gorge, someone else and many more …after his high respected first release >vendor< with remixes by reboot and alexi delano, timos strikes back on his own imprint sonido. smile & move on ep is the perfect package to control the dancefloor. with remixes by m.in & alex piccini and martyne & laurent zappone this release is hot!

mike dehnert delivers with this 12 on his own fachwerk label. after the stir of his limited md2 release another piece of black wax with some heavy deep bass driven techno tools. 3 powerfull overwhelming tracks that are still subtile and classy. 3 tracks that slowly push the bounderies of techno rooted in the berlin traditions mixed with some detroit flavor. especially the b track is a true killer with 90s style open off beat 909 hi-hats and great tension. wont be in stock forever... dont sleep!

after the huge succes of the split ep on his own quartz rec imprint, paul ritch is reaching the next level with his brand new canniballs ep.this wicked release contains four exclusive tracks ranging from the deepness of >suffolk< to the stomping & rolling >the lick<. beware of the canniballs!

incl. rmxs by antonelli & drei farben house
easy house grooves and deep, chord-driven techno – two versions of electronic music paulo olarte is particularly interested in as he has proven with his records on diynamic or his own imprint fresh fish. for his first 12 inch on frankfurts new entry, polytone, former hamburg-resident olarte gives full scope to his perferences. >vayas donde vayas< comes with a wonderfully housey feeling and a rich fund of harmonies, whereas >sweet sugar< plays the role of the techno bouncer for the tradition-conscious and discerning dancefloor with its deep detroit flavour. in his remix of >vayas donde vayas<, antonelli concentrates on the lightness of the or iginal and moves towards a maximum of funkyness with a mulitude of thrilling details. drei farben house rounds off the remix flip side with one of his long suspense arrangements he has come to be known for, which sends us to house heaven when the fine chords eventually fully unfold. polytone remains one of the most interesting, diverse newcomers of recent times.

round no. 2 for the alex baus credo repaints, this time featuring the long term techno-heavyweight chris liebing and the uprising jonas kopp from argentina. chris keeps close to the original of >full method jacket<, a track he has been playing frequently, adding his own flavour in a very impressive way. jonas turns >lofi micro< into a stripped down and arrangement-wise more relaxed version, but his precise drumming and sound-design makes this remix becoming something completely new. full points again and already massive dj-support from a like abba to z like zz top :-)

toolbox is gideons third album, in the line of many to come. although the minimal hype has surpassed this is minimalism from a techno point of view. no bullshit sounds, just straight up minimalistic techno grooves. inspired by guys like richie hawtin and robert hood, gideon has twisted this knowledge into something of his own. very different from his last album on kanzleramt called >need no permission<, this album focuses on tool tracks. and that is off course the title explanation. toolbox is an 8 track album in the line of gideon his first minimalplus release trias politica. 8 pure danceable tool tracks that a fit for any techno minded dance floor. toolbox will be released on 2 separate 12 inch records minimalplus 010 and minimalplus 011 each containing 4 songs.

must have classics!! includes the amazing thats the way love is!

it was only a matter of time. two genre-defining artists together ... pop music and dance musics most famous arbiters of taste, collaborating at last. dj hells >u can dance< is an interpretation of an unreleased bryan ferry song, but its one that reflects a perfect melding of two distinct personalities, a record that sounds as if the voice and music were made for each other.
hell, of course, has been riding high on the success of >teufelswerk<, his masterpiece of a double album, a journey replete with fruitful experiments and club bombs. one that has yielded both massive hits and not a tiny bit of controversy along the way. ferry, meanwhile, has been as busy as ever—recording a new album, performing in places as far afield as siberia, opening up the cannes film festival ... basically just being bryan ferry.
and now here they are together ... it all started in 2006 when hell dropped in to meet ferry at his west london studio. at first they discussed hell remixing an old roxy music track, and then it turned into something else - something new (u can dance).
they had similar impressions of one another — hell: >i was impressed by his aura and his look.<, ferry: >he impressed us with his sophistication and charm.< fast forward a few years later, and hell is hard at work on teufelswerk and putting the finishing touches on the aforementioned song titled >u can dance<, a serpentine moroder-esque disco burner. with the help of old friend peter kruder, of kruder and dorfmeister fame, hell fashioned the song into a smoldering nine-minute highlight of the double disc set, in which ferry turns in a typically assured vocal performance.
ferry may seem like an unexpected fan of dance, but hes been going to clubs since he was a teenager, and in his lengthy career hes worked with legends such as nile rodgers of chic and david williams from michael jacksons band. >its always a pleasure to work with people from that genre, who follow a singular groove.<
the single follows in the wake of hells >the dj feat. p. diddy< which has won over floors and critics alike with its nearly 30-minute radio slave remix and fine work from the likes of deetron, jay haze and others. on >u can dance< hell and ferry have similarly pulled out all the stops for the remixes, gathering up work from the grammy-nominated producer carl craig, dfa mainstay tim goldsworthy and pop electro superstars simian mobile disco.

following a number of remix works from olmeto records at the close of 2009, our first release of 2010 puts bushwacka! back in charge. two sublime house tracks with masterful percussion both dripping with style.
>battered< paves the way with tribal rhythms, flutes and chants whilst >sw4< takes an edgier electronic route. olm026 showcases two very different sides to bushwackas personality, both of which are supremely relevant on todays dancefloors…

way ahead of its time and quite incredible to imagine such a modern sounding record could have been made so many years ago... this cult new wave/dance cover of the doors classic was taken off the first of the two long players that la synth band moebius (not to be confused with german electronic maestro... dieter moebius of cluster and harmonia fame ) released on moonwind records, 1979-1980.

the second half of the great lengths remixes package offers 3 more vividly contrasting interpretations of album tracks. almost a year on from the release of his debut album >one< and with >saviour of techno< plaudits still bouncing off concrete walls, berghain lynchpin ben klock turns in a remix of is this insanity that distills everything inspirational about both the club and city he calls home. spaceapes cracked vocal is welded to a sort of cavernous piston driven groove while traces of the originals melody fractured into the briefest of shards fight their way to the surface only to sink back into the percussive smog. located well outside of the heavily scrutinised uk hype centres, manchesters rising star illum sphere continues to hone his already distinct sound on the flipsides brilliant orange reworking. a clanking off kilter groove rubs up against an extended mutation of the original melody that pushes the track towards a poignant climax, evoking all the ache of reaching for the stars and landing squarely on ones face.

nice price deal !!! official release !
mind-blowing singles, eps, remixes (for the likes of simian mobile disco, little boots, royksopp, lykke li, au revoir simone…), a quickly-growing label (fondation records), and the night is his in most of the worlds major cities: danton eeprom had it all, to the exception of a long-playing record. after making a name for himself with hits like confessions of an english opium-eater, grindhouse or face control, it was time to go off the beaten path and show the way once again. would he go for a fairly logical sweat-ridden dancefloor riot? not precisely. not only. danton would make a revolution of his own, in dandy mode.
three words that will soon be on everyones lips: yes is more. in a cloud of smoke, over a tight booty beat and keys delving deep into thirty years of electronic music, the french londoner sings for good and is all axes out on >thanks for nothing<, making things clear from the very start.

nope, this man is not a legend, yet! however he is in fact legendary already for his notorious live sets as well as a wide range of groundbreaking styles and sound he designed apart of the consensus way in the last 15 years.with his now presented astrodymics part1, richard bartz deals similar to the subway concept again with his past and transfers these late nineties space-disco drafts into the wonderful here and now. he delivers vivid funk-supercharged house which is at the same light as a feather and for sure a very sudatory matter.
space-disco rules!

with five beat pharmacy albums and almost a dozen vinyl releases on francois ks deep space imprint, this dubby and eclectic project of brendon moeller needs no introduction.
chugging along at 120bpm, underpinned by a thick sub-dub bassline and a modulating maurizio-style synth cord arpeggio, pump is a hypnotic slap of deep smoky house with some memorable hooks to boot. swirling rhodes keyboards and a slick piano riff serve as a lovely counterpoint to the swinging funk of the hi-hat groove. forever morphing and evolving, the stready and unrelenting groove are guaranteed to keep heads bobbing and toes tapping!
the first remix here is by echospace head honcho, stephen hitchell under his intrusion guise. stripping away and re-contextualizing the key elements in the track, hitchell crafts a warehouse-style dj-tool that subtlely weaves its way into ones subconscious via a delightful psychedelic keyboard hook.
londons bearweasel takes a similar approach, except with a much more pronounced beat track superbly trippy atmosphere. a top notch dj tool thats likely to be spun worldwide.
all round a quality release with enough sensibility and character to be played for years to come.

prime numbers are back with e11.... the latest in the pn e.p series. three exclusive tracks by mr scruff & kaidi tatham, motor city drum ensemble and andrés! this time we feature a heavyweight collaboration between mr scruff & kaidi tatham who provide a smouldering jazz-house production with kaidi leading the way on keys and flute on top of a chunky, bottom-heavy groove. motor city drum ensemble drops a killer raw cut. a heavily smashed jackin’ disco workout with all the markings of a fine cajual dub or early striclty rhyhtm. the track oozes soul and is unpretentiously aimed at the dancefloor. once again danilo plessow proves less is more. andrés completes the line up with a cheeky blend of some classic ingredients. sounding like a track from his early releases, “jack city” has all the essential hallmarks of the andrés sound with an excellently simple but purely effective fusion of house and hiphop ethics

switch to the b-side and you will find the more gentle elevate. this melodic techey track stars a hypnotic moody lead synth that reminds us of earlier days, but the clever use of delays and reverbs keep us firmly locked in the present. deeeeep!

it s been ages since the visionary thomas brinkmann delighted us with some new techno tracks, especially on a label other than his own max ernst. curle strikes again!!

coming from germany, rampa is surely one of the hottest up and coming producers around at the moment. he has a history of producing acts that found their way directly into the charts. his keinemusik label is on a roll at the moment and he is also behind some turntables between berlin and new york, representing his own definition of music

the yore captain returns to his own yore imprint on the labels 21st release. shadow city presents different visions of funky house grooves. the a sides the y theme gets deeply moving with a funky house pulse before stoking the fire with the addition of speaking voices (trippingly intoning the q&a what are we doing this for? and the music), a move which single-handedly jumpstarts the track. after the voices appear, the grooves intensity escalates and plunges deeper, its gyroscopic house swing becoming more dizzying and torrential with each passing bar before coming to an acidy storming end. in its opening moments, shadow city opts for a deeper and more serenading vibe by comparison, but thats traded in for a slinkier attack at the three-minute mark that grows progressively more ferocious as the track makes its drastic upwards ascent. a trippin dangerous murder weapon to say the least. watch your heads! the b sides b2 track, mumbai dweller keeps the focus primarily on the bottom end, specifically a strutting tribal-house funk groove thats dragged even deeper by a throbbing bass undertow, adding dark chords to it, giving this ep a darker feeling towards the end. to sum it all up: this is raw house music at its best!
