hailing from ireland, shane linehan is committed to showcasing the finest that new jersey-styled house music has to offer. having impressed with his release for local talk, he returns to his own basic grooves imprint to get the good times rolling with aplomb. >ilinx< wears its heart on its sleeve with a crisp beat that makes all the right moves, while a slick organ chord line takes centre stage in an upbeat revelry written for the start of the weekend. >so now you know< on the flip is a more contemplative affair, although no less steeped in bumping house culture. the keys are played in a more downbeat refrain and the beats a little more restrained, but this is still very much a dancefloor burner

a musician on a mission, navid izadi has quickly risen from a san francisco club kid to buzzing new one to watch. rolling as a dj, singer and rapper (but rarely over rap beats), and producing music that effortlessly weaves between influences, his talents are being drafted in and championed by a range of industry heavyweights.

after inaugurating the visionquest label with the now canonical where the freaks have no name - an ep whose a-side anthem, walk and talk, inundated the dance music world with a lovelorn soulfulness benoit & sergio return to the throne of visionquest with new ships, the more beautiful younger sister to their debut.

sadly betty botox is no longer with us. she departed planet earth in 2010 and leaves a gaping hole amongst all those who knew her. she left behind a dat tape in her studio with the final ep written on the cover in lipstick, which her closest confidants feel she wanted to be her last statement to the world. so, after a slight delay, two years later, 4 tracks that were regular features in her musically wayward dj sets are now available for her to fans to hear and play. combining her love for psyche funk, cosmic synth, space rock and late 70s stadium rock these reworkings, remixes, refixes and reproductions of known and unknown tracks are sure to be hits on non-conservative dance floors everywhere.

this release should have an all natural ingedients sticker on it. all sounds you hear are from traditional instruments - recorded on various occasions in ivory coast. it took mr raoul k quite some time to get his hand on all the raw materia he needed. he then cut it in bits and pieces and rearranged the sonic puzzle to a slowly evolving track. join his journey that starts in the cold of a desert at night. the temperature rises with the sun. when things heat up too much, you have to take a rest in the shadows beneath a tree. meet some fiends, talk and relax - but dont get lost. keep you groove alive and head toward your destination. choose vinyl, please!!!

boston beat boi tanner ross is finally back, with another embodiment of his signature take on future efunk. ranging from creamy nostalgic r&b featuring pillow talk, slow hands and jesse rennix to tripped out weirdness in collaboration with lonely c and 80s synthesis romance with jules born, the straight to the moon ep on double standard will take you from palm-fringed miami sands to deep outer space. across five originals (side a and b on pure white 10?) and two instrumentals, tanner ross once again casts his sonic spell with a master class in originality with support from select members of the wolf + lamb collective, having already made his artistic footprint on labels land no.19.

so what is after the void ... we bang the bomb of course with a lady in a thong surrounded by snakes and hand grenades, obvious really! having been away for some time it appears that a light sounds dark spring is in the air. en route to their next destination (rumoured to be a dark subterranean world full of nasty mutants danger electrified tracks out this summer) with arms out the window and the mothership roof down, its full steam ahead and proper european dance music time. not really train spotting as before although a couple are a bit off piste like maltas very own ian dury by the name of iain richardson rapping about sitting on a green bus! much more like it however are classic italo covers of big in japan, gloria, a wonderful new wave version of falcos euro smash der kommissar and the thoughts massive german hit wait a long time sounding like some long lost talk talk record. light sounds dark do some minor tweaking (going for that natural look) to big beast anthems axodrys you and colme 111s you take me high (early euro take on chicago) and for lovers of something a bit more funky theres some groovy goings on from kraut funksters epsilon urging people to leave the city which might not be a bad idea if the water runs out.

>we can fill a stadium anywhere in the world. but can we still make music that means something to people?< (bono) monkey maffia can easily fill a club just about anywhere in the world. however, he is also looking to make music that means something to people. his debut was a search, and his second release fit right along with this theme. his competence of variations is a characteristic of the dj-dervish, yet he now exercises restraint and follows the right track. over there, three maffia lions roar monkeys coming home!

this first record at new berlin label townhousemusic was made by lohouse, part of talk dirty production. contains five deeply warm house/tech tunes, with a touch of raw and oldshool elements. strictly limited vinyl.

walking a strange line between the asylum and the dancefloor, welcome bob chance. yes, this is an album like no other. but then again bob chance isnt like anyone else. put together in 1980, >it s broken< represents bobs creative juices flowing and then possibly overflowing all over the place.

on the eps selected tracks, deniz, along with hotly tipped producers tanner ross, san franciscos pillow talk and the young brown university graduates voices of black, deliver an array of moods and sounds - from sensually sublime album opener >i knew this would happen< in a special extended version to the jazz infused the beat drops, full of deep atmosphere and heavy bass groove and animated 80s funk of >thunder clap<.

another limited edtition ep (300 copies!)vinyl is the answer, dont miss it! after the big success of the first part of underground warriors ep, heres the second part, definitely more dub than the first one, except for fabio monesis track, a very uptempo, energetic track that captures a perfect 90s feel, emphasized by the raw sound of fabio monesis machines. the ep includes also the finnish deymare, recently released on local talk, morris audio, hizou.jack the love has a deeper and more chicago house feel to the last two tracks, it has nice jazzy instrument samples and a nice subtle vocal. again this track has a perfect 90s feel.

excellent deep - disco - slo mo burner, incl pillow talk & fantastic man rmxs

a welcome,fresh and high-quality collection of obscencely rare and desirable 45s including bonus 7 single

cork based producer and dj shane linehan has cut quite the impressive swathe in the first few months of 2012, anointing his own basic groove imprint in fine style with the swiftly sold out 12 inch my initial grooves as well as gracing mad mats local talk label with a stellar vinyl drop. linehan returns to the controls for the second basic groove release with more of the same - namely deep, tracky productions notable for a crispness in percussion and rawness in texture. lead track >get together< is a swaggering example of linehans style, with a groove formed of low set bass stabs and playful neon chords. its complemented by the deeper sounds of >the future< with the opening shards of dubby chords soon aided and abetted by snapping rimshot percussion, thick bass clouds and the whispered titular vocal.

the fact that they are the hottest band in the buzzing spanish independent music scene in itself may not be enough to stop the presses, nor are all the comparisions to the black keys or the band citing motorhead as their main influence. its hard to break into the crowded new band scene, but let us give you a piece of advice before deciding who should stop the presses - just sit and listen to the album first.
a text like this usually tries to say how great the group is and how new and fresh their songs are. in this case, we are going to try to save time and space, and just talk about the right ons.

das nächtliche gemunkel am tresen bei bier und klaren war irritierend gewesen: aufs neue album, so drummer zimmermann und basser strohmeier, würde das lo fat orchestra auch kinderchöre und ein streichquartett packen. man dachte mit grauen an the wall, konzeptalben-bombast, artrockkacke und hoffte halb, das sei nur der berüchtigte schwarzwälder humor. jetzt ist the second word is love da. nicht mit kinder- aber mit chören und natürlich mit streichquartett. die befürchtungen zerbröseln im nu, wenn im opener be honest die bassdrum nagelt, die elektrizität in der luft rauscht und singt, bevor der sägezahnbass und schmids gesang und orgel einsetzen. alles gut! alles besser! alles: mehr!

this selection is about the tracks that would inform henry street, the tracks found deep within the complex strings of its dna, the tracks championed by pettibone on kiss or by washington at the studio, or those dredged from crates across the city. half-heard anthems from italy tracked down through forensic research in the record shops of the five boroughs, rare dub versions of classics that you wont be finding on ebay anytime soon. this is real disco.
>these are the secret weapon tracks, but more personal to me and people from my world. i m pulling records from different places. this is how i play records. its not fake. i have never been a set dj and always played just about every genre of music, from the fastest uptempo disco anthem, to the most ghetto rap jam to zeppelin. music is music. a good dj can play it all. a great dj can play it all technically correct!<

great inventive, fun, and super enegetic bunch from dublin. fans of the futureheads, two door cinema club, adebesi shank and devo should get what this is all about

domino feiert den 10. jahrestag der veröffentlichung des wegweisenden domino-debüts cold house der band mit einer neuveröffentlichung des albums als audiophile doppel-lp mit mp3 code. die band hood gründete sich 1990 in leeds und hat seitdem betörende und sehr spezielle musik auf neun alben und siebzehn singles veröffentlich, die die musikalische spielarten von post-rock über stark veränderte klaviermusik bis hin zu eiskalter electronica mit referenzen an talk talk und disco inferno abdeckt. die einflussreiche us-website pitchfork beschreibt hood als eine band, die diese art von ernsthafter innovativer musik macht von der die leute meinen, dass radiohead die speerspitze dieses genres sei, nur das hood weder wissen, noch im mindesten daran interessiert sind, dass sie diese speerspitze sind.

in a short time, north londoner randomer has built up a small but heavy hitting catalogue of work – releasing >brunk< (on hessle audios 116 & rising compilation), the acid tinged >obtuse< and most recently his dance mania-on-steroids ep for numbers, >real talk<. his debut for hemlock recordings sees him taking things even further back to basics, dropping two heavyweight trax of pure beats and bassline indulgence. a. scruff boxs beats roll heavy but with a crafty, garage skip in their step, giving no clues to the obese bass riff that soon rudely exposes itself, tearing through the track roll by roll. aa. get yourself together more of those trademark, overweight beats with one giant, elasticated bassline. for those who like them large and lovely

the name dachshund is one immediately associated with experimantation, an innate feeling for ryhthm and good dose of tongue and cheek. the swiss dj, producer and label founder can scarcely hide his musical roots in reggae. the sunshine feeling from those days still shines through in his current productions and gives them a touch of dub. his latest ep for highgrade records is no different. this leads to the first track >extensive talk< with its reduced beginning sounding something like a false start. gloomy voices implore us to >come, sit down, forever<.this delusion establishes itself in a musical theatre, while simultaneously becomming more pressing as the track winds its way into the legs – moving inexorably towards the second groovy track, >asymmentric love<, with its sprinkle of varied and original sound ideas. the final offering, >octogone< goes even further and weaves original loops and straight edged percussion into a compelling carpet of sound.

limited edition 180 gram vinyl, including cd-copy of the album.

organs of love are the power-sleaze duo of james mckinven (organs, love) and alicia matthews (vocals, love). james mckinvens musical odyssey started with playing synth in (kraftwerk, suicide-inspired) electro band berlin blondes. he then moved on to altered images. after that he worked in genetic studios learning from the modern day genius that was producer martin rushent (human league, the stranglers, the buzzcocks). then went on to form one dove and worked with maverick genius andy weatherall. after that he drifted back to where it all started, analog electro, and miss alicia matthews. alicia matthews has quite a different background – one from fine art and performance. through working together at the same bar and having many intoxicating late night chats, they decided to try to get back to a 70s theatrical, musical performance: where live music and art combine for something beyond the rock gig vibe. and luckily enough, miss matthews has quite the pair of pipes – a true vocal delight. the result is organs of love … who frequently perform live around glasgow and have quite the reputation of thee band to see. videos can be provided, but they are not for the faint-hearted! not that optimo music ever provide a dull moment …

nice price deal !!! dro carey from sydney has been making waves for a while now, as both an audio and visual artist and journey with the heavy crystallises a disconnected ambiguity that defines its own melodic path like a red carpet slowly unravelling, only to be seen to have been cut up and slashed beyond recognition.

1998 entdeckte philip bader seine liebe zu elektronischer musik – und brauchte nur ein jahr, um sein dj-debu&#776,,t im legenda&#776,,ren berliner tresor zu geben. es dauerte nicht lange, bis sich der gebu&#776,,rtige berliner seinen ruf als einer der kreativsten ko&#776,,pfe hinter den plattentellern verdiente, der schritt zum produzenten war da nur folgerichtig. und auch hier stellt bader seine originelle vielfalt regelma&#776,,ßig unter beweis– da verwundert es kaum, wenn er auch led zeppelin und de la soul als musikalische einflu&#776,,sse nennt.
