the b.t.s are a detroit deep house live act crew. this is there first release in the world. the ex-member of underground resistance, derwin hall bang the dam walls down with this groove. this remake track with the late ron banks vox sample >treat me like man< is a detroit killer! derwin had some extra production on the drums by delano smith. this track is so hot, me (eddie fowlkes) and my momma had to get this for the cityboy music. what a great track for their first release.the black exterrestrials come back with >the journey< on the flip side. this deep minimal soul house groove has that element of a underground banger with euro flavor - with lead vocal by angie sexy ass!

emanating from japan, and discovered by eric d (of rub n tug fame). these re-edit masterclasses would never have gotten outside of their native market. luckily a helping hand from one of nycs most hyped party throwers has guaranteed a wider audience! all the combis so far have sold out in a matter of days and are now exchanging hands for silly money. this release has another glorious duo of obscure but super high quality dancefloor friendly edits. the price is a little more than we d usually like to charge, but if it wasnt for us, you d be buying these as japanese imports!

immaculate expansive night music. written and recorded between hungry ghosts studios in west london and a remote kent shed the attention to gear on both tracks is really rather special. the view is from above, the lights... are they on? there is life underground: these shall not last long.

>the voices< is the debut 12 inch from bobby and annie. drawing on their experiences as residents at the mint club, uk, the pair have crafted a versatile ep that sits as comfortably in a peak time set as it does on a hazy 6am dance floor. taken from a collection of vocal out-takes the voices have been cleverly obscured through various production techniques and layered around drums and old school analogue synth lines to unique effect. the results are two haunting, hypnotic, yet upbeat dj tools. the title track, >voices<, uses deftly interwoven vocal samples as the focus and driving hook. shuffled percussion takes a back seat amidst a discordant, attention-grabbing synth interlude that harks back to the playful garage sound of90s chicago house. the outcome is dramatic, intense and functional. on the b-side, >loose ends<, is a more rugged affair that gives the bass and drums centre stage. the vocals are pitched and trippily float in and out of the track whilst the familiar sound of fairlight stabs punctuate the groove. the effect is eerie, yet accessible, and rounds off this stunning ep.

hey today! are the phenomenal groundbreaking production, dj and live duo raik krause and robert nickel who share studio rooms with digitalism in a hamburg based world war ii bunker.
hey today! have tweaked various legendary tunes on hipster labels such as kitsune (paris), bang gang (sydney) and on tigas canadian label turbo, followed by strong remixes for people like boys noize, zombie nation, tiga, empire of the sun, digitalism, shazam, moonbootica and others.
the current single >strange< is continuing the story of the previous success with the - as edbanger busy p described it - lfo meets herbie hancock sounding single >talk to me< which was released on turbo and became one of the biggest tunes of 2010.
>strange< has now been signed to dr. lektroluvs label and will definitely become a very big tune too. the single will be released with strong remixes by boris dlugosch (who recently released the amazing >bangkok< on erol alkans label phantasy music), polymorphic (from proxys label mako) and gomma records labelhead munk (remember >la musica<!). for sure an amazing package!!

new kanada is honored to have the awesome murr (aka nicholas murray) take the reins on the next release. dusty drums, worn-out pads and a deep respect for the early beatsmiths, nick always creates an atmosphere in his tracks that is definitely not the flavor of the month - but rather the taste of the year. on the a-side, >noise in< is a tough dusty jacker, that builds from a tight dub intoa shimmering melodic bomb. feels like early transmat, late gherkin, or an americanized lfo. shuffle, simmer, and slam. the second cut on the a-side, >broken glass<, is a slamming ode to the sp1200. beats swung hard, percussion rattling the kilter way off, and a suffocating groove. watch out - the shards are sharp. on the b-side, marshall reshapes the original >noise in< into a brutal example of a tough mixing tool. heavy, pulsing basslines and an incessant jack groove. this one should move the floor. red, yellow and orange. rockit!

unless welcomes now for its 6th vinyl release the duet bla bla bla with an impressive 3 track ep so called prisma ep. this recently created duet are serginho and mecre, some important and respected personalities of porto city who handle for many years now the local underground scene. serginho as an old school ruler and charismatic dj and mecre already approved as an impressive studio producer wanted to deliver some musical works. prisma ep starts with bad disco on a side which uses samples of old classic house tracks as a tribute to house music at the beginning of the 90s. mayfield the first track on the b side evokes some tribal feelings with deep textures and some actual techno dub also. finally the second track of the bside is rom a tech house track building its drum pattern on a massive bass line

the musique d hiver pour l ete is all about warm instrumentation with a special emphasis on an intentional lo-fi production. it might even be a statement in an age of digitalism and overproduction. it rides the line between romantic techno and sultry disco!

we at m=minimal are proud to have >conrad schnitzlers – zug< as first release. schnitzlers zug is one of the most important and first electronic minimalist works that were published in the 70s. almost simultaneously with the kraftwerks groundbreaking >autobahn< zug appeared on the legendary >the red cassette<. the wire magazine wrote about zug: kraftwerk might have used similar methods to create rhythm<!

a drum roll announces the arrival of swiss artist and producer andri to the highgrade family. and the drums are something we can take literally, as the regular player on the zurich party scene experimented for seven years with his own drums.

get ready for some heavy bass infusion. those who witnessed the infamous audio injection vs. drumcell collaborative 6 hour set at berghain in may could sense the raw and direct path of the uncompromising heavy bass-lines they walk on, yet they possess a subtle sensitivity making this audio experience a physical and mental journey at the same time. with his first ep on electric deluxe, audio injection captured this dark and raw spirit in a perfect way. his tracks move effortlessly from percussive high hat funk to heavy bass-line assault, call it techno coolness. all tracks are dancefloor focused, but contain a healthy dose of weirdness, giving the them longevity while still being functional, spot-on material for the floors typical for electric deluxe releases. the vinyl version of >operation a< is being accompanied by a none other than speedy j himself. the remix has his signature flow, shifting, rich soundscapes layered over a forward bassline sketch. music for minds in dark places.

tremsch & metlzer aka martin maier & daniel fuchs have created their own style of music which is based on new school techno house.&#8232,,it is hard to find out which kind of music exactly has influenced these artists but similar to piemont they are merely occupied by their own world of music in their heads.&#8232,,,,,we are sure they have never heard of such warp legends as >sweet exorcist still their 3 tracks carry that northern industrial flavour and combine it with funk.&#8232,,>20 toes< as well as >head games< perfectly transport this spirit, whereas -development- feels housier with samples of child vocals and cut up reverse sounds that create an semi-acoustic feeling.&#8232,,support comes through a remix by mbf core member piemont who have remixed >head games< and have created through that a fabulous rough and crazy chicago track, that holds all the experience piemont have gained through playing live.

hailing from leipzig in germany is an artist whos music has been pricking up many ears across the global underground over the last few years. its hard to put a finger on what it is about kassem mosses productions that make repeated listening a must, but the intricacy, fresh arrangements and musical depth definitely play a part in attracting labels such as the highly respected techno imprint workshop, the legendary soma records and now nonplus are honoured to present his latest 12 inch. a) kassem mosse – >we speak to those< first up on the a-side we have >we speak to those< a 4/4 track of the highest quality that keeps you guessing from start to finish. the rugged and raw kick and bassline immediately set the foundations for the incoming awkward chord stabs whilst reversed beats lazily slur in and out over the main groove giving the track the unnerving feeling that its almost changing tempo. random sound effects and a non conforming arrangement make this track about as predictable as the english summer. one listen to this and youll immediately understand why this artist is getting love from some of the scenes biggest players at the moment. aa) kassem mosse – >hi res< phased drum machine breakbeat patterns and stutered percussion redolent of the early detroit techno uprising give this track an outstanding quality of being able to conjure up the same feelings of hope and optimism for electronic music that the aforementioned era managed to. thought provoking chord progressions take your mind on an excursion to the future and leave you gagging for an extended trip. think skyways, flying cars and towering metal buildings footed with dark abysmal underworlds and youll get the drift. they don t come much deeper than this one

michigan central station built in 1913 for the michigan central railroad, was detroit, michigans passenger rail depot from its opening in 1913 until the discontinuance of amtrak service on january 6, 1988. at the time of its construction, it was the tallest rail station in the world. the building, located in the corktown district of detroit still stands today, though it remains unoccupied. restoration projects and plans have gone as far as the negotiation process, but none have come to fruition. spread throughout the city of detroit and its surrounding metropolitan area, the decay of once magnificent buildings during the industrial revolution and automobile era now cast a shadow of despair on a once flourishing city. these monuments of achievement now lay barren and forsaken by city government. infrastructural restoration and city development are fundamental elements in detroits recovery, and the recovery of cities worldwide. it is time for revival in our cities, but first, in our souls. the michigan central station ep is a platform for this change.

bassbuero a.k.a. thomas ingold and his partner björn müller are long-year resident djs and promoters in our hive club and come around the corner with a smooth customer debut. the title could not be any more designative, as with this is not house music we have a knotless and outstanding 90s number with lots of pathos and - declaredly - they have looked over some shoulders of big protagonists from france. when the vocoder chords are crossing swords with this insane bassline, every ravers heart must beat at least one octave higher. this is the tune for a perfect sunrise and big feelings on the floor. on the flip we have gruber & nuernberg, some good pals of bassbuero that played in hive several times as well - they contribute a complete antipole to the the original. almost a bit trancey they spin the chords over a straight old school house groove, never let the basic spirit of the original out of sight and though don t forget to leave their very own traces on this remix. in addition we have - as with every release - a digital exclusive bonus track, that certainly does not deserve the rating house music - lets call it rather fidget than deep. but be sure, its all gone will blow your mind out.

what an absolute stormer, for those of you who have never heard this record, get ready to be blown away. initially out in 1992 inner citys pennies from heaven was just the most perfect house anthem, i think it was kevins tunnel mix which was the killer mix, here it has been strung out just a little by the slow to speak people. all the crucial elements are still there, amazing vocal, the most uplifting of pianos, ridiculously simple yet deadly bassline and fantastic crisp garage beats. really they dont get much better than this, watch em go on nye when you drop this. awesome!

the loin brothers are long john saliva and dj silvio, two dashing farmers raised on strobe lighting, fuzz guitars and pork spare ribs. this is their second original single and follows on from heavy helmet, the mock & toof remixed single that caught the attention of aeroplane, ewan pearson and ivan smagghe with ivan featuring it on his live at robert johnson mix compilation. on this outing the loins have pruned, mowed, fertilized and watered their way through the studio to create the garden of vargulf. the original takes off with a thumping bass guitar, orchestral string leads, the odd desert wolf howl and a real guitar soloà with a guitar no less.

theres movement in the formatik dog pen. the two format : b alpha dogs recently introduced their latest techno puppies with combined, and now theyre showing their teeth again. when dogs meet they dont just lick each others ears but also put on a silver dog tag. seeing as the three legged four leggers jakob and franziskus arent that happy being alone and are often seen dancing over the dog grounds wagging their tales they have decided to share their bowl with sebastien leger, the french production bulldog who always has a couple of remix scooby-snacks lying around somewhere. that is why they have given him one of their dog tags and have mutually decided that legers own dog club mistakes music will be going walkies with formatik on a regular basis. only the lady and the tramp is more romantic than that.

this is the first release of hugos new imprint goodvibe records. the bright side is the beginning of a new journey for hugo and his siblings, 3 tracks produced by hugo and one fat remix produced by format b:. contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, they give rise to each other in turn. frankie knuckles once made a comparison of house music saying it was like church for people who have fallen from grace and marshall jefferson compared it to old-time religion in the way that people just get happy and screamin. the bright side is a new-time prayer in the way that the fallen just get happy and screaming. enjoy!

after leaving behind the somalian pirates, geiom is cruising the sunny waters of the indian ocean when he picks up a distress signal on his scanner. he follows the signal until he locates a tiny remote island and a guy called bowly, who said that he was on his way from france to the new world, but got totally lost. judging by the age of the map he was using its easy to see how. bowly spent his time on the island hanging out with the locals who amuse themselves by creating a unique style of music on some amazing handcrafted instruments. geiom helps bowly get on his way again, and leaves him with a more useful map. some months later, bowly beams over his music as a gift from his new found homeland in canada ? the tracks are like some strange mutation of those distant tropical players and the uk-based pirate radio transmissions that bowly has been tuning into ? geiom loves the result and decides to send them straight over to transition in london for mastering and release on berkane sol. this 12 has been getting played by selectors like ? subswara crew nyc (soul motive), brackles (rinsefm), grevious angel (soul jazz), martin kemp (blunted robots), cooly g (hyperdub), shortstuff (ramp), spamchop (wigflex), oneman (rinsefm)?
