ifm is the project of the unstoppable marcello napoletano and franceso schito and is dedicated to their friend ilario corsano, who passed away. marcello napoletano needs no further introduction - like no one else he made his name with an old school inspired house sound. and this new ifm release is another fine example of this: drummachines, analog synths and the sound aesthetics of the early house days is what the >journey through the sound ep< is all about. true house music

the green door studio opened its (confusingly black) doors to glasgows vibrant music community at the end of 2007. set up by three glasgow-based musicians emily maclaren (michael dracula/the lady vanishes), sam smith (mother & the addicts) and jamie greer (park attack), who, sick of using other peoples clinical digital studios and being told by engineers >you cant do that..<, decided to create a musician-friendly space where >actually you can...<.

on the back of shakes retrospective frictionalism 1994-2009 compilation, we have asked some producers from the new generation who were influenced by shakes music one way or another to remix his music. since shakes catalogue is such a diverse one, we looked different directions for remixers. the first 12 embodies the whole new beat scene (dubstep, future house, wonky, what do we call it these days). faltydl is on fire lately so we asked him to remix assimilated. the result is an up tempo stepper that both offers a look into the past as well as into the future. banging business. next up is space dimension controller. this uk young buck has been surprising many with his first few releases and remixes over the last year. he transforms the down tempo detroit state of mind into a mid tempo techno-soul affair that will have you grooving all the way through. second part will feature the new techno generation with mixes from mrsk and skudge

first release by new label apersonal music. project created by andres vegas and maurice aymard, who challenge the current music business crisis by joining the list of adventurers who releases on vinyl during times of retreat. the label is intended to publish music that points back toward the classic sounds of electronic music, the eternal sound. for the ever loved and well remembered 001 they sign producer trujillo. a pioneer of the electronic music scene on his country venezuela, also native land of the label heads. the single runs at 110bpm with a retrospective feeling, built by melodic synths, low bass and provocative voices. “baby you’re still the same” a slow burner that takes you on a journey of inspiration

since dial was established in 2000 there always has been the musical influence of isolee. from his first 12inches and his debut album >rest< on playhouse, rajko mueller was one main source of inspiration of all early dial artists- pantha du prince, efdemin, lawrence, carsten jost. more than that he became a lovely neighbour living close to the riverside of hamburg, a good friend whose pasta sauce would take a whole day to cook, and still a musician who would spend an extra long time to create his extraordinary pieces, drifting from version to version.

ltd 12inch with cuts from the forthcoming dj mitsu the beats album >universal force<.instrumentals included! side a features b.d - mitsu deliveres a warm, jazzy groove, using brass and fender rhodes samples side b featured s.l.a.c.k.

so who is vakula? he is a ukrainian dj & producer born in konotop, ukraine. he became famous in moscow for holding a residency at moscows propaganda club - the success of fridays voices party at propaganda by the charismatic nina kraviz was in large part due to vakula. in 2007 vakula released hohol on uzuri and since has gone on to release music for underground labels like

piemont have worked for the last months on the aspect of leaving the trail of minimal by injecting a stronger and more noticeable note of soul, without becoming one of those adult house guys who sound as if they skipped teenage nihilism in favour for a perfect sound.&#8232,,so please listen to chair or throne with its irresistible vocal snippet-collage, where three different sources of vocals clash with each other in a funky way... creating madness and deepness. this is a a techno house stormer for peak time moments!

>listenin to the records on my wall<, the first single from skreams second album on tempa - the much anticipated and highly acclaimed >outside the box< - has long been in demand and is now finally being released on vinyl. >listenin to the records on my wall< is the perfect introduction to why skreams current level of success is just the beginning. its a joyful, ragingly energetic celebration of the last quarter decade of british street music, inspired by the hardcore and jungle records used by his older brother hijak who was part of grooverider<s internatty crew. its also a brilliant pop record that makes perfect sense to everyone who grew up surrounded by the breaks and beats of the 1990s ? and to those who didnt.

if there is a driving motive at the heart of gavin russoms latest project, the crystal ark, it is to create music that communicates and compels physicality and movement. a listen to the projects first single, aptly named >the city never sleeps<, reveals a track as tireless as the title suggests, and russom as a visionary who crafts invocations to move. with his second release under the crystal ark moniker, russom is just as focused on eliciting movement, but deftly avoids repeating himself. unlike its hypnotic predecessor, which slow burned and subtly seduced listeners to physically respond, >the tangible presence of the miraculous< is explicit in its urgings û a composition of nakedly energetic and urgent inducements to dance.

its not often we end up releasing four singles from an album, but with the tuneful love supreme standout track >waiting for the love< we seem to have achieved it. penned with uk based benjamin james smith, (who also delivers the snappy vocal) the track screamed single right from the start. heading up the remix package are two stomping mixes from synth-wizards, chicken lips. dean and andy keep the catchy vocal but overdrive things in the synth department. their vast armoury of sounds and accomplished arrangement makes this mix one to be really proud of.

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.

incl luna city express remix! played by luciano, matthias tanzmann, nick curly, mathias kaden, 2000 and one. since releasing on labels like souvenir, desolat, off and international freakshow, he is well known and dj s like ricardo villalobos, richard hawtin, luciano and loco dice to name a few, appreciate his tracks during their sets. we are very thrilled to have markus ferdinand aka m.in releasing on baalsaal records.

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!

only for an artist like samuel l session and on labels like be as one, you could put together a remixes pack with some of the most genre defining producers in the dance music of the recent time and beyond. such is indeed for sls album the man with the case remixes pack. on the a side you have label boss shlomi aber, soon to release his 2nd long awaited artist album on ovum, who has reworked big bad drum in a jazzier, dubbier vein. damage is assured on the dancefloors. cadenzas main man reboot takes samuels the soloist and turns it into an hipnotic techno journey, something very different from what frank is known for. stacey pullen needs no introduction, being one of the leaders of the second wave of detroit techno hes a legend in the scene. with him, sls sections get reworked to a new high. to close the package, the soloist get remixed by sls himself, and its turned into a new dancefloor groover, bearing once again the swedish master imprint.

once again loeb hit you up with a truly unique and wonderful slice of dancefloor strangeness all the way from russia.id10ts (can be pronounced idiots) is a new experimental beats project that features andrei from alexandroid whose >short cuts< was one of the many overlooked masterpieces released on the lo recordings label some years ago, along with pavel who is art director of one of the best clubs in moscow and ilya who according to rolling stone (russian edition) is one of the top 5 guitar players in russia. so a whole heap of talent on one black disc.the original gold room track is an extended mystical meditation with a spoken intro courtesy of the legendary sun ra whose wise words lead you into a new musical world where skewed electronics glide over persistent beats and delicate guitars chime along with harmonic male vocals that recall brian eno, talking heads and maybe tarwater.on the flip the inimitable dj koze does his funky thing like only he can, turning the original into an essential piece of leftfield dance music that s perfect for summer.

in a departure from blamma! blamma! s usually more frenetic sound, æbeyond 17 is a blissful slice of uplifting balearica and a fitting, joyful tribute to the multi-talented, versatile producer who created it. with it s slow build and dare-you-not-to-smile release it will no doubt be the soundtrack to many a sunset or end-of-night sing-a-long in the summer to come. cage & aviary get busy on the b-side with another subtle grower of a remix - atmospheric strings and muted guitars rise and fall over tough analogue bass.

cleo & patra are proud to sacrifice a 12inch to the egyptian queen and goddess of the nile. an ode to ancient egypt, youll hear it all. downtempo boogie magnitude and affection with pharaoh love, the full bloom disco-house adventure of marcus antonius on the run who should have better taken cleo & patras advise and finally the pyramid-high-killer-party-time a-side that even teaches the bangles a thing or two. oh, what a nose!

club monsters from both continents, better than the ufcs us vs uk show! the latest 12 inch from top billin brings you classic raw baltimore club beats with remixes from uks hottest producers! diamond k is a bmore og with his da horsemen crew & high rolla records, and he teamed up with baltimores finest al ripken jr to make 2 future classics of club music, >hands in the air< and >single ladies single fellas<. as this is a special occasion, the remixes need to be good good so who else better to give these tracks the bass treatment and a grimey club feel than bok bok & tes la rok (aka trusta, his funky alias). 2 other remixes come from nycs finest, cobra krames and torontos beat wonderboy lunice. real club music will never die!

a relatively recent partnership, harkin & raney draws from years and years spent lost in music. steve raney (known to many as oneauff) came to nyc in 2005 with ten years of djing already under his belt. it was shortly thereafter that he connected with eamon harkin, an irish-born dj who’s become a central figure in the city’s party scene thanks to his hugely influential club nights fun, prime time, mister saturday night, and sunday best.

stepping up to the remix plate, we have mr greg wilson, a bona fide global edit institution, and thomas bullock esq. (as welcome stranger) who s turned in an abstract gem that works equally on the dancefloor or your headphones

in the world of factory presets, default settings and copy-paste ethics, there are few artists that actually care to make a difference. and -who told you that?-, 29th release on warsaw recognition label, is certainly a voice to be heard. the title track is another subtle narrative from label boss jacek sienkiewicz. eerie chord and a solid, damp beat from the start are underpinned by sherds of dialogue - snippets of words and laughter keep coming back in the mix, providing some sort of uneasy commentary towards todays minimal house formula. but at some point the voices disappear - and then the tracks gently goes somewhere outside the boundaries of todays club music, somewhere otherworldly. this shift, albeit amazingly subtle, is a leap towards music free of any defined context, far beyond dancefloor and definitely original. if this sneak peak into the possible futures of manmachine induced visions is too much to handle, there is still the b-side of this release. two tracks here - both clocking around mere 5 minutes - are prime exercises in compact, clever, tight and efficient club tools. uplifting -cobalt drive- is bound to to be quoted and reworked into many forms of a late-night burner. patefon, on the other hand, is a peak-time stormer with its stuttering chords and moody samples, supposedly picked from some vintage shellac discs

nice price deal !!! the portraits series is a project born out of the meeting between music and art. the pictures on the record covers of the five releases are a sample of the photographic work of claudio gaiaschi, renowned milanese photographer, who shot dozens advertising campaigns for numerous international brands but also author of artistic pictures being showed at exhibitions in paris, london, new york, rome, baku, tblisi. claudio gaiaschi has been praised by masters artists of the photo like mario giacomelli and in tratti (the collection where the portraits series covers are taken from) he tells the stories of new families framing them in a non-pose having a result of >... pictures that last: in embarassment, in tenderness, in hostility. actual faces of ancestors.< (cit. nicola del falco)

a welcome return for jaime read who has been releasing quality deep house and techno since the mid 90s via his own push ii shove label, tenth planet, fragmented and ugly music. here he drops a timeless ep of house and techno rythims to great effect. messages from outer space is a deep slice of timeless 808 driven electro soul. name no names moves along with spaced out keys and a sax line reverbed to great effect. no relief has that old school chicago house sound with piano stabs and a lush string breakdown. digital acid wraps it up sounding much like the title suggests with deep 808 bass and floor smashing snares

the new minimalrome series for clubbers in sick-leave! the hacker known for his classic releases with miss kittin comes with a new track called -haunted- which is a kraftwerk, dopplereffekt inspired electro track, with an 808 punching pattern counterpointing a deep analogue bassline enveloped in rich, harmonic pads. on the b side, a remix by feedback remix who delivers a solid acid electro techno work out as we know of some lory d and early passarani works. the second remix is the banda banetti remix (a new minimalrome project) with pulsating acid lines and fast paced hautning techno electro beats. get those strobe lights flashin!! mrx records are sadly limited to 250 copies

incl igor, scamp, steve irritant & lxp

>hollow hills< keeps the psychedelic side of riley reinholds music up, which he has released since his first release on disko b in 1995 (red flare ep). jittering voices, sounds that ricochet and basslines that come like little earthquakes. the 11 minute epic >hollow hills< works similar to the waves at the beach, constantly featuring irregular shapes and never repeating itself. the track has been remixed by french artist gohan, who lives in paris and who has electrified the track with his vision of modern daring electronica, bordering on music the glorious wishmountain did in the past. finally domestic musical impact comes from the cologne musician oeler who has made a tougher and more elaborate percussive beat, the core element of his interpretation of >hollow hills<.

more cloak and dagger cuts from the new schools favorite mystery label. all four cuts on this winter sampler freak and funk their way through firmly body-jacking beats, jazzy samples and stabs to get the heads noddin and booties shakin and of course that signature guess who? sound of instantly recognizable funkiness.

like a live transmission from the party you wish you were at, the golden handshake ep is the first offspring of proud parents (and clubbing royalty) numbers. the labels debut release showcases the considerable talents of low limit and lando kal (aka lazer sword), who should need no introduction to the discerning beat freak having roundly assaulted the ears of audiences worldwide with their unbelievable live show and hundred thousand reaching mix tapes.

nice price deal !!! under secret construction in the on u workshop for the last few months, lee perrys interpretation of the black sabbath classic iron man is finally ready, complete with heavy boots of lead. with adrian sherwood at the controls, and additional input from renowned reggae producer dennis bovell, this full on thumping dub stepper finds scratch positioning himself as the iron man - lion man - lightning man - super man who dont drink no booze while sub basses throb and wobble the bolts from his joints and the beats hit harder than a rivet gun... surely not what ted hughes had in mind. the flipside dub mix arrives courtesy of pempi, who recently broke out with a track on studio rockers? at the controls compilation. pempi ups the full of dread quota with a heavy barrage of drums, stuttering synths and swelling bass, to create a version that has the potential to consume every motor vehicle in the southern hemisphere. iron man lives again!
