the mighty d knox graces sect with a second ep, >looking through your eyes<.
>at the beginning< is a journey in the way good techno tracks should be. a low-slung groove forms the foundation as strings build, creating composite chords then descending into darker territory.
>if i never knew you< continues the unique and oh-so-delicately balanced melodic sequences, while >out there< is straight up techno funk of the first order. if these guitar licks dont move ya on the dancefloor, you have problems we cant help you with.
>on my way< is a gift for the more experienced techno dj. tricky beats work to create something like a latin shuffle, rounded off by a sonic mind manifesto vocal.

chin chill music is back – andrey zots (afu limited, globox, weplayminimal) and his buddy combinator release their second ep on their own imprint. tricky & groovin tech house.

encer kincy was giant in chicagos house music revival - part of the second wave of younger djs and producers that took the music of the early 1980s, rubbed it up and dropped it in places like 500 west cermak, medusa’s and the vault. a lot of people who are now superstars of the scene - mark farina, sneak, derrick carter, and dozens of others - were a part of that movement, too. spencer released a number of tracks on relief, planet e, cajual, peace frog - labels representing the classics of that era - and he usually recorded under the name gemini. as a dj, he operated in his own space - i’m sure he could play for a room, and sometimes did, but the unrestrained madness of a spencer kincy dj set had to be heard over several hours to appreciate. he could blend a sleazy disco track into hard acid, downtempo into a punishing armani track, jazz into detroit techno and so on. it wasn’t technically brilliant or tricky, but the selection was exquisite. a number of figures from his era still list him as an influence. his productions, viewed as a whole, are so much like his sets: going softer than many dared to go, and going much harder than just about any dared to go. simple jack tracks! respected by the standards of the industry of the time, and you certainly couldn’t go anywhere in chicago without hearing derrick, sneak, mark, lego, gene, jevon, diz, johnny or the other djs beating them. and so many of them have a timelessness - a little piece of eternity stuck like some bit of wax between the grooves

alejandro the argentinian fellow, also known for his monikas >funzion< and >e bridge<, released on lomidhigh, alphahouse and sushitech among others, presents us two energetic musical journeys for the meander imprint. this is warm and funky music, simply pure and rich in its dynamic, drive and groove. stunning and very ajejandros own style. the track selva introduces itsself with a temper didgeridoo eclecticism. followed by lush heavy sub basses with a dash of acid and wandering crispy sounds, his tricky rhythm programmings are blowing us away into dramatic dancefloorbliss. spiced up toms between high frequent synthesizers underline its constant presence. a melodic, organic and crafty piece of house music. on the flipside we have >pampa<. the obviously traditional south american influences of our talent merge with modernism, fluxion and frequency precision. an emotional trip that let somehow emerge images of dreamy landscapes while being still a dance orientated killer tune. with this record alejandro emphasizes his creativity as a standout producer for dense and powerfull creations

big with mihai popoviciu, gel abril, phil weeks, timo maas, dj t, kabale und liebe, nima gorji!! maybe the most diversified ep for the young label! solar & poppcke deliver a full-on floorburner with c mon - a fat bassline, ever-building arrangement and great breaks topped by a catchy vocal - perfect for the peaktime!
a2 is one of those tracks that will cause a lot of fun in your local recordstore when somebody tries to explain the staff the name of this track he is looking for ,-) besides that its a cool minimal-ish tricky groovetool with soulful vocals and a very unique vibe.
b1 is a classic deep and hypnotic chordanthem, slowly building in a hypnotic way and delivering its full dancefloor effect right after the main break.
the sweno n remix is perfect for the bigger floors: clean and straight production, techy vibe, driving chord stabs - this is a perfect dancefloor-destroyer for the middle of the night.

supported by renato cohen, danny tenaglia, sian, patrick pulsinger, axel bartsch, bukaddor & fishbeck, orde meikle, kiko... let us introduce the new trapez artist deepchild with his brand new 2 track ep on vinyl. deepchild writes bass-heavy machine-music for broken people, disjointed booty-bass for backroomdreamers, fuelled with sweat, jackin funk and tears. >backroom< is such a track, a warm, raw, urgent and sensual. techno at its finest, highlighting deepchilds voice stronger and more delicately than in the other track. his misch-masch of deep detroit futurism, southern-crunk and forgotten space-disco cut with a rusting razor-blade of german tech-minimalism and filtered through a personal collection of odd analogue equipment is a secretformula that has >backroom< come to life! the b-side >death panel my ass< is a masterpiece of a recording with a hell of a tricky production, cool vocal snippets, cool effects over dubs... well a busy track but at the same time at ease and deep.
deepchild is based in australia and has recorded for resopal in the past. he is playing worldwide and on trapez parties in 2010 !

after our first release >sierra - stay< we are proud to announce the second one of our very special and strong limited vinyl series >dynanim - maro<!

already a mainstay in the scene with admired releases on brother label poker flat, and of course connaisseur, patrick chardronnet returns with a wonderful 2 track ep on audiomatique. a delightfully trippy, post-minimal adventure, ‚piper‘ raises the brow for chardronnet, dropping the big room synths this time in favour of a very organic, low-slung addictive groove. sparse, tricky percussion underpins the headsdown late night vibe, as a drifting ensemble of mystic vocals and haunting horns unfolds over 11 minutes. enchanting, mesmeric and deeply spaced, this reduced-percussive foray explores chardronnet‘s more hypnotic side... a priceless cut of of hybrid house from a modern master. on the b side the driving, textural chimes of ‚dropout‘ ensnare the listener into another beautiful and mysterious world. solid-state, bass-led percussion and crisply-cut percussive fx remain subdued whilst an epic, swirling synth landscape weaves its dreamy tale. suggesting moments of real drama, yet all the while maintaining an addictive, slow burning vibe, its a an amazing journey into this producer‘s remarkable, inimitable sonic world.

the second release from merkur aka japasese embassy is coming. we can expect an exciting and unexpected 3 tracker which does not fit in any conventional category. gonno, tokyo based producer and dj, has graped everyones attetion with his outstanding “i don’t need competition (inkl. donnacho costello mix)” on beyond records in late winter 2008. for merkur he has designed the acid-revival track “desolation 303?,,. this track is build on a tricky chicago styled rhythm and an acid sequence which first comes slowly, later on developing an beautiful drive suitable on every dancefloor. berlin based japanese artist / label owner shingo suwa painted the tune “silver blue” with a lot of love for chords and melodic spins. maybe you can call it housemusic knocked down to a minimal attitude. “two of us” plays with warm synths on a solid base, slightly referring to the detroit deep house culture and impressing with an advanced but nevertheless solid groove

tomie tribal nevada s new masterpiece kicks ass.. ante 26 presents 2 hypnotic groove tracks full of tricky sounds and noises.. great

franco cinelli, one of the most gifted new producers coming out of argentina, presents here six uncompromisingly quirky club bombs. his previous releases on milnor modern and telegraph have just warmed you up to his sound. now dive in to >profundo amor< and get familiar with these intricately programmed club stompers. you can call it minimal, but when these tracks go ripping through a big pa, thats the last word that will be on your mind. with the opening track >flog<, you get a taste of the freaky after-hours grit that alphahouse records is becoming known for. >m26< is a robotic hair-raiser for the new generation. think minus on steroids. >twisted machine< features a stompy groove and some snare work to drive the dancefloor. >vertientes< is a great dj-tool with a low-slung bassline and dancing synths. >c3d< bounces along with a razor bassline and some tricky transitions. and >project 64< finishes off the lp with a synth line that falls out of the ceiling and straight onto the dancefloor. truly inspiring stuff here, from franco. no filler tracks. all of these are a-sides

this is quite simply one of the most glorious records you will hear this year. it would be easy to lazily reference it against classic period rephlex/planet mu stuff (oops, i just did!), and indeed it appears to share some of the same heritage (even going so far as to feature a remix of rephlex artist global goon in its tracklisting) - but chris leary aka ochre is obviously a man on his own mission. gorgeously lush, but at the same time super-funky…as electronic as kraftwerk starring in a remake of tron, yet somehow as pastoral and organic as edward elgar…much like his label-mate ed chamberlain, leary manages that tricky task of being supremely technical in his programming and arrangements, but without losing the heart and soul of the music amidst all the studio trickery. you know that old chestnut often said when referring to vintage or classic music, >they dont make them like that any more<? well they do…and here it is! simply fantastic.

played by : karotte (cocoon / great stuff), sebo k (mobilee), tobi neumann (cocoon)... jackmates strikes again on phil e with this 3 track 12inch called >malawi dub< and delivers the perfect follow-up for >mont blanc< (phile2007). the main title >malawi dub< is full of rollin drum and percussion sounds merging to a intense piece of (oldschool)-techno… both titles on the flip >in flux< and >s…..out< are deeper in a way, with charming harmonies and tricky grooves…this is a preview for jackmates upcoming album in 2009. thanks for purchasing a real copy!

thoughts in retrospect is the first single from rinses debut artist signing beezy. a fantastic lyricist, possessing an ability to paint vivid images with the potency of eminem and effortlessness of tricky, his combination of bold and vulnerable has endeared him to the aforementioned producers and fans across the globe. although this is his first introduction proper to a mainstream audience, beezy has already cut his teeth with the cream of british producers including skream, benga, plastician and coki dmz, self-releasing two albums and numerous mixtapes giving them away as free downloads.

mo rotation is the next step in the history of westpark units 80s funk influences they started with blaxrotation and fits well within the sound of today! always sexy, dope, deep & dubby. proper thang is as deep as jeep and builds up in the typical westpark unit style with some demanding but tricky drumpatterns and a wicked bassline. to surprise, the duo added some old school snippets into the drop, put them into a different context and present a jewel of a bangin deep house tune with one of the most enthusiastic moments when the beats come back in. mo rotation sets up with just some shakers, a demanding percussion loop, a booming bass and needs almost 5 minutes to get things started. when the bassdrum finally drops in, the club is already near ecstasy while the music takes a small step from 1983 to 2008 and a deep masterpiece

uncompromising underground techno tunes between genres like detroit and chicago acid-house

sometimes, its still worth not to waste your youth with nonsense but to learn to play an instrument. like in the case of sebastian mullaert, who has learned to play violin, organ and piano, while his partner marcus henriksson rather came from kraftwerk and human league to electronic music. as son kite, the two swedes have already a well-known name in the psy-trance scene, and as minilogue, they now start to conquer the minimal and house world. with their rather unique sound, they manage the tightrope walk between minimal and trance and never allow us to put them into a drawer. especially with their debut on cocoon rec, minilogue present themselves in a different way, compared to their releases on traum or wagon repair. >jamaica< is a calm track at the first hearing and is perfect for building up a set. beginning with bird-like sounds, the track builds up slowly and quickly becomes very interesting and tricky, ramifies as organic as a climbing plant, and when the tribal sound emerges from the underground, this track has exactly what makes minilogue so special: organic matter and groovy sounds, worked into a minimal labyrinth with very much love for the details. all of that can also be found on the b side which seems to be more adequate for the morning hours, with its somehow spacey sound. with >jamaica<, mullaert and henriksson prove that they are floating on the very surface of the endless minimal ocean. and with their album >animals< being already in sight on cocoon recordings, one can be highly anxious of what is coming ahead, by minilogue and techno made in sweden

after a long break fm musik is back with a huge ep from the london based marc cotterell. this is a must-have monster for every deep and techhouse set. on the aside we have the frankman remix, well know from his releases and remixes on labels like auris, dessous, shayan or moonharbour. he bring us, in best frankman manner, a deep, atmospheric tune with deep rhodes, tricky delays, tight beatprogramming and an amazing break after 6 min. the original mix on the b-side by marc cotterell presents shakin deep grooves with cool synthlines. special chords and pads round up the message to you. the ep finishes off with james tones givin us a rolling 303 bassline. a perfect track for late-nite and sunrise moments

his style is a fascinating mix of house, electro and techno including all sub genres. after his debut album alles wird gut on beatmodul records in early 2007, which was supported by djs like steve angello or sebastien leger this track has a lugging electro bassline with a stomping kick in the beginning. squired by a discreet tricky melody which works with several highs and depths the track is getting a brandnew style from the middle on which gives it a big kick. as remixers we could manage the swedish superstar jeff bennett (malmo) and kaiser souzai.

2 smoothy warm rnb ballads ! producer tricky stewart (umbrella - rihanna, me against the music - madonna) !!

newcomer johnny d, comes with his first single release on 8bit records. well known from his release on oslo records a few month ago his last single >manipulation< was featured by a lot of well known artists like ricardo vilallobos, richie hawtin or luciano. >walkman< sounds a bit like an oldschool chicago house track. 100% coolness and satisfaction guaranty when you play the it. on b1 >dejau vu< is another excellent deep frisky track, based on a nice chord line which finds a finish in a playful tricky guitarsolo. b2 is a walkman remix from ray okpara. he tuned the track in a prime time killer ones. big groove reduced to the max!

with releases on hartchef, frankie, moon harbour, morris/audio or frankie, tom ellis is top funk jammer! his >rum scum< release is a special triple-layer deep-fill extravaganza of an ep! tom supplies the main ingredients, kicking things off on the a-side with bleeps, beats and basslines exploding into chunky dancefloor fillers. on the b-side, its fab frech producer skat (well know for his releases on karat) adding his deep and tricky flavour to >rum scum<!

>too many bugs< on the a side is meant to be an acknowledgement for the software industry. everybody should know the background of bug fixes in the form of patches... but this track is free of bugs, phat bass lines as well as tricky generated sounds will be banged around your ears literally! minx on the b side is forward-pressing as well. the bass line is pushing and the remaining elements are out to do the same with the aim to get even the last deadheads on the dancefloor

for all ibiza freakx outhere !! the selph is a new producer of deep/dark minimal techno already djing around good club in europe. this release on sunplay label is driven by an intense bassline: a side with noisy and tricky flanger and delay, keeping alive the listener and b side grows up through deep drum melodies that changes grooves every step..
