includes fat breaks mix by evil nine and a spaced out cadged baby disco trip!!

here comes a highgrade split ep. marcus homm and ludwig coenen share the honours on one record, and instead of competing for the glory, both producers compliment each other perfectly. markus homm, the global player, starts off as assured as ever with another great track. golden glow rolls towards a dramatic stage for hysteria. homm takes the listener in with a heavy and richly sweet narrative style. matches brings even more excitement, pushing forward with brilliantly entangled sounds that hit you more in the hips than the stomach, telling a tale of promise in the early morning hours. ludwig coenen, the man from infamous frankfurt, brings dancing into the realms of the zoo! with its not a zoo he manages to combine various sounds into a funky and functional harmony. the 2nd track mind your head breaks the standard mould and uses a broad sound palette to construct a new and unique field of maximum funk.

original and poxy music (sameer sen-gupta & ken macleod) mix keep it on the breaks/funky side while roni size goes drum n bass, of course.

mauro picotto returns to spread more of his own brand of italian-alchemy amour! after the fantastic success of >diamond<, picotto returns with his end of summer anthem >love message<. with the success of his meganite ibiza parties still fresh, mauro drops his latest dancefloor gem. the don of melodic techno takes a softer, yet no less powerful route on >love message<. housey beats, and euphoric synth line make the original a sure fire, hands in the air number.
on remix duty and in keeping with his trend of mighty mix packages, the label head has drafted two of the hottest talents of today. first up is belgium producer and great stuff artist ramon tapia, who turns in not one, but two takes on the original. his >first message< is a low-slung tech groove machine, that chops the originals synths and stabs them throughout. his >second message<ups the pace with its rolling bassline and white noise breaks, again the cut-up synth stabs feature.

the third komisch release is by the parallel. with a string of digital releases to his credit, this talented new producer now makes his vinyl debut.
>abyss< gets down to business,as spacey textures melt into billowing chord sequences, underpinned by spiky claps and intricately woven pitchbent percussion. by the time the massive kick arrives, the seduction is complete.
>mind reverse< is focused on the floor, its stomping beats and metallic, robotic synths becoming increasingly more claustrophobic until the track breaks into a ghostly breakdown.
big with: dave clarke, surgeon, kirk degiorgio, peter van hoesen, serge (clone), samuli kemppi, cio d or ...

second release on the bounce by helixir on 7even recordings after his last digital dubby experience >xp dub / peace dub< in june! recognized as one of the most versatile of the new breed of french electronic music producers, the man from strasbourg is back this time with two bass-heavy productions in his own percussive style.
>convultions< is a real dancefloor weapon, the robotic riddim subtly brings a deep sub-bass becoming more and more insistent, the beats never stop evolving along the journey, the breaks hit your senses, pure badness from this ultra precise producer!
>let me drive now< brings you to a beautifully produced track through magical percussion, galactic synths and smoky atmospheres, somewhat akin to 2562s latest directions. a beautiful piece of music, tightly produced by helixir, who shows again his mastery of the studio and modern bass music.

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.

slamming phunky breaks reworks by badboe !!!

from hiphop breaks over nufunk to breakbeats and even some funky house rhytms, this is a maximum packed 6 track ep coming fom bigm productions. shooting star hayz is presented with a selection from his no.1 banger ghetto base/triggaphunk release. killer-dope. flipside the on freddy freshs label based mastermind rory hoy gives us an introduction to his breakbeats, b-boy breaks and nu-funk stuff previously released on his album >standing on dust< at howlin records.

re edits inspired by the legendary all ages chicago night club medusas done by jamal (hieroglyphic being) moss. this ep is another industrial dance volume with a re edit of ministrys halloween, vicious pinks cant u c and yet another dance floor killer by spk, a heart that breaks. in stickered paper sleeves.

palette recordings celebrates its 13 year anniversary with a release by the duo that started it all for the label. no giant mix compilation or collection of remixes, just another example of what has built the foundation of palette over the last 13 years. john tejada & arian leviste have been collaborating for over 18 years now. with this release the duo in a way come full circle, combining some of their oldest production techniques with newer ones. its been a long road for these 2 seeing styles and trends change, equipment and technology come and go over the years, but what has remained a constant is their vision of electronic music. >messenger< with its subtle intro of modular synths and rhythmic pads breaks out of its sinister drop full force into a multi dimensional crowd pleaser. the stabs continue to build energy while layered drum programming and modulating synth lines escalate the tracks energy. on the flip, >observer< continues with a fierce pace that harkens back to the days of palette 4, combining vintage synth stabs and drum machines recreating that classic vibe which is gaining such momentum again these days. the difference here is these guys were around at the time already releasing music that would garner them such high acclaim over the years.

all the tracks on this double vinyl demonstrate his innovative approach to music, running the full spectrum from soft ambient interludes to the more uptempo beat trickery. accept manages to combine both extremes and is an apt opening track, demonstrating the two faced nature of aardvarcks productions, highly constructed beats and beautiful melodies. taa baa sounds like it emerged straight out of londons co op, though aardvarck has not been to this broken beat mecca. th #1 is pure ambient bliss and followed by the deep spacious beats of dim. steps is based around a seriously crunched up hip- hop break, think domu scrapping with the funkstorung boys. the original version of zom is track 7 (ignore the tracklisting on the cd) whilst the stunning remix by attica blues tony nwachukwu is actually track no. 17. upset is based around deep raw bass, the structure of the track is created with pin point beat work. flight simulator is a silky smooth journey, proving that aardvarcks beats dont have to be broken. the stuttered synchopated bass stabs of th#3 combined with its fearsome breaks push the edge of the nu jazz envelope and gentle is an uptempo number combining the skip of 2 step with smooth german jazz styles - one for the quirky jerky types on the dancefloor. th#6 is another deep ambient soundscape helping to ease the pressure after the frantic percussion of knet. stampot shows aardvarcks ability to counter fearsome rhythms with melancholy chords, the forward flowing synths float the listener over the near chaotic drum programming. finally, the album closes with the weeping strings and treated piano of anders, bizarrely twisted and warped sonics. one beautiful voyage!

strong minimal techno release with balls from sinisa tamamovic from bosnia. the way he creates atmospheres with only a few sounds, perfectly fitting breaks and unique soundmodelling show his outstanding talent, certainly a guy to watch. additionally alex bau delivers a remix, and well, what else could you expect as another sure floorshot from mr. techno. go grab this just as all the topjocks before...early plays: alex bau, len faki, kai kinkel...

hardcore breaks and electro funked gear from kevin harper aka half of the original nightmares on wax duo.

bombstrikes returns with the next instalment in the highly acclaimed volume series. this time the party bombs are from two artists new to the label but who are no strangers to the funky breaks scene, badboe and prosper. the dane and frenchman have already established themselves as key players with a slew of floor rocking releases and dj shows…now they team up with the hottest label around and as you would expect the results do not disappoint!

the second installment in the split lp series is a dutch affair, but it has everything it needs and more to soon make name far abroad. each side of the record contains a complete work clocking in at about twenty minutes.
side a is >chime ep< by hydrus. the four tracks they contributed stand out because of their meticulous production and their wonderful sense of melody and emotion. this is music in the best electronic tradition, blending hiphop, idm, ambient, funk, drone and badass breaks. hydrus begins this twenty-minute journey with a funky bump and end it in a mess of nervous percussion, splintered to dust.
side b is an altogether positive and quirky piece of work by kettel. like most of his work of the last few years, >yellow baron< is exploding with beautiful melody. in six tracks kettel puts everything to work to make your head bop, to bring a smile to your face and a tear to the corner of your eye. classic stuff, without losing sense of experiment.

mit schicken und funky tracks starten syntec & linus in die zweite runde von shortage. >pret-a-danser< ist ein dribbler zwischen fidget-house und loungigen breaks, der den spannungsbogen meisterhaft spannt und für feuer im gesaeß sorgt. um den remix kümmert sich der nuernberger homebase. dieser bereitet den trunk weicher und minimaler zu, ohne das thema aus dem auge zuverlieren und gruesst freundlichst die tanzflaeche.
lauter wird es bei >motored< und >bettys petticoat<, die sich gezielter und schnittiger nach vorne druecken. vocalschnipsel und andere kuriositaeten schleifen auf der oberflaeche der tiefen subbaesse. die definitionsabweisende zwischenwelt von house und techno ist gewahrt. summa summarum eine hoechst abwechslungsreiche ep und dazu ein abraeumer der oberen klasse, der seine liebhaber finden wird.

played by: jonas kopp, alex bau, sebastian altstadt ...
this one is a killer! what a release for newcoming artist tino boa: powerful basslines, shuffled grooves, precise bassdrums and creative, inspiring breaks team up and leave a absolutely fresh approach to techno. this one will hit the playlists of really everybody, be sure, especially as uks technohereo gary beck delivers another proof why he is expected to be one of the hottest exports of the island. grab it, chances for getting a more fat techtune are low :-)

banging electro/techy edged breaks bomb by far too loud vs code zero! incl headphonics remix!!

banging breaks 3 tracker by slyde!

massive dancefloor techno from the new techno label! electro trancy techno style with great breaks and crazy groove excellent remix from lowkey & kardinal, from goog records, with huge basslines and synths, massive floorkillers!

after a some big remixes and a nice original outing this summer on get physical, catz n dogz return back to their home label. this time the guys team up with their friend, the hot producer, pol_on while also featuring the candid vocals of fellow mothershipper , monty luke. this is a great single to check out as we wait for their new 2nd album for mothership due out in the spring of 2010. the sexy analog sound of the original mix will fit well within any proper house set, but i particularly prefer the drama queen mix which breaks into a beautiful melodic section 3 quarters of the way through. groovy.

the second record >trapez 100 pt2< features a great dynamic track by dominik eulberg, and two remixes, one by break 3000 of oliver hackes legendary trapez track >der vampir von düsseldorf< and the other by the famous berlin duo format:b of florian meindls hit track >blast<. welcome back to the trapez world. dominik eulberg released stunning records on trapez in the past: >gasthof zum satten bass< was a huge hit and also >adler< createda waves of enthusiasm. with his exclusive track >ambivalent< for the trapez 100 release he refers to the days when techno was defined through its drive and enormous dynamic. >ambivalent< is exactly such a pounding driving track with a big synth joining in that creates joy and a great rush. mr eulberg was in a really good mood when he finished this track and we expect it to be played on many big raves. >der vampir von düsseldorf< (eng. the vampire from duesseldorf) is a legendary track, we released without any writing on the etiquette and just communicated by word. very few people knew that oliver hacke produced it and a lot of people like michael mayer and richi hawtin played the limited 12 inch a lot. now you get a very cool and fantastic, monumental, grinding remix by dirt crew records label owner break 3000. the format:b remix of florian meindls slammer >blast< is a winner. they manage to walk the fine line between techno and minimal by using sounds from mystery movies and funky beat patters, as well as slow down beats which create funky breaks and interludes that provide the original with a more trippy and rhythmic side.

nice price deal !!! future sound of london_papua new guinea breaks remake

big with: reboot, federico molinari, audiofly, alex niggemann, kabale und liebe, luca bacchetti, lauhaus, markus fix, anthony collins, andre crom, m.in italian dj-producers larsen & luca marano deliver their off debut after already releasing on no. 1 italian label tenax recordings. a1, “greek” is a full-on primetime dancefloor bomb, building the tension with a disco-ish hookline before dropping into a huge drum break which will tear the dancefloor into pieces when the kick gets back in. “bad choice” features a massive walking jazz-bassline, supplemented by wasted long breaks and tripped-out samples, perfect for the later hours ..

this track has been getting rinsed out by dj ez regularly on his kiss 100 show and out and about in club land. hes had it on an exclusive for about 2 months, and hes sure made use of that honour. its an instant crowd pleaser with its catchy female vocal hook & fat production. kinda like bassline garage meets booty breaks...

call it house, call it old school, call it new rave breaks, call it warehouse... call it whatever you like. what matters is the aquasky crew has designed two storming cuts to make the ladies bounce and the fellas break as the lights flicker and the speakers shake!

played by anja schneider !!! the first catalogue number from the house of formatik comes from format:b the a-side (hotrod) is a pushing, wooden battering monster in the typical format:b manner the hugo remix gallops through the house arena like a thoroughbred stallion. extremely wonky breaks paired with a post modern house beat makes it the perfect alternative. redux on the b-side is a heavyweight techno layout. sirens, massive baselines and a dark atmosphere that sometimes, but only sometimes, reminds you of old black and white horror films make this track the perfect addition to this first ep.

support by falko brocksieper, beaner (bar25), solomun, mathias kaden, pete tong and more. danilo schneider comes with his new release to celebrate the last warm breath of summer 2009. fragrance is floating with a tenderly smelling hookline in to the sound system, using the breaks for breathing. snapper, discreet percussion, vocalcuts, smoth tamburine pattern completing the sound track. cat eyes in the morning is combining a heavy drumline with cheesy latin percussion and dicriminating pads to a deep track. perfect for the peaktime-startsup! with naughty cat remix by dana ruh a great rework is stumping around the corner! the massive bassline filled with deep pads, a driving organ, reversed vocalcuts not betraying the secret, turning this track undeviating through a one minute break in to a rollin smasher!

the title track is a fast paced latin breakbeat powerhouse with some string stabs and a huge grime breakdown. love & tango finds tango rhythms duking it out with breaks, cumbia thump is a laidback cumbia dub mash up and tropical flute smoothie is a sexy latin tune feat karina nistal. get it!

remerge started in early 2007 and quietly set the precedent for the current old skool influenced recordings. initially, the concept was to re-interpret old rave records and rebuild the samples into modern day hardcore classics. over the last two years, the series has slowly come to it s logical conclusion with two original recordings, which retain the essence of æ92, but remain relevant to the sound of 09. amenyall is produced by dj wasp, a pseudonym for one of the most revered and consistent producers of electronic music over the last 16 years. expect the usual formula to be broken, crushed and recompiled into something truly unique. >wasp< described it as >the track i wanted to make 15 years ago< and we are really proud to be able to release it. >terror overdrive< by agt rave cru is on the flipside and is without question, one of the toughest, most manic records you re likely to hear all year. wild stabs, full juno hoover workouts, ruff breaks and one of the greatest intros to a track ever, this really is the real deal.

insane electronic sounds from amplified orchestra. foto-krome is a mental and provides for classic dancefloor moments with its hard hitting drums, spaced out synths and off-the-wall vocoder effect. instrumental version is included too. cntrl alt dlt is a modern house tune with raw live bassline, mesmerizing keys and killer breaks n cuts! comes in very tastey limited yellow vinyl!

sebastien leger continues on a slightly more techie approach with another fantastic two tracker you could well see in the boxes of both eric prydz and adam beyer. sebatiens new sound has a fantastic cross genre appeal, with his super-funky cool grooves tight rolling percussion, and intense breaks. this multi-talented producer is really starting to flex his musical muscles. expect huge dj support and continued radio plays.

following the success of their storming funkatech debut >wickedest combination ft. ic3/the system<
west london threesome pyramid are back with the first single in a four part series entitled >elements< consisting of earth, air, fire & water but inspired by their four prefered staples: sex, drugs, rock & roll! in true pyramid style expect nothing less than dancefloor destroyers with uncompromising attitude that deliver the breaks fundamentals: big bass & real breakbeats wrapped up with a fresh twist for 2009.
proclaiming the arrival of this new series in full effect is the preacher this summers first festival anthem. take heed all ye doubting thomases this will bring you to your knees. the ominous intro gives way to heavy rock guitars and a foreboding preachers sermon whipping the crowd into a frenzy before suddenly being struck down by waves of bass and earth quaking beats so big they will bring the lame back to their feet. this is a big room track guaranteed to smash up the dance. big warm and heavy it will rock the most sinful of ravers into repentance. watch those hands reach for the sky ... hhhhallelujah!
not letting up the energy for a second and next up on the flip is >broken dreams< featuring the vocal and production talents of yoof (sons of mecha). no massive build ups here just a great vocal hook, raw beats and bass. no sir this is a ram raid. break steppin broken beats, rapid distorted basslines, thrash guitars & crashing cymbals... have it! underground and uncompromising pyramid bring the skank for 2009.

spaced out breaks anthem!! includes new school wrecked angle remix!

slamming 2003 breaks 2 tracker by klaus heavyweight hill!!

the eps title track baltic pine bounces an elastic bass with a punch whilst its magical melody evolves out of the groove, taking you skipping away until it breaks into a ebullient cacophony of accordion, piano and brass.

alexis forge are simone berriman and craig mccullough, who made this 4-tracker for british low pressings limited in 2003.

kab is a swedish techno artist who is a friend of minilogue and released together 12 inches.
a side rescue is a very psychedelic techno. if you like the sound of minilogue, you will love this track.
b side the search and the breaks is trippy minimal house style.

nice price deal !!! solotempos new ep basks shamelessly in catchy harmonies, indulges in bassdrums and wallows in the beauty of analog sounds processed with precision. >new ears< is firmly rooted on the dancefloor. on this particular dancefloor you re plunged into descreetly arranged, hypnotising house and minimal tracks, which don t simply sit on their beat, but gracefully summersault again and again, creating those unique moments of eternity. fittingly, solotempos sounds should work best on springy forest soil, at around four or five in the morning when dawn breaks and the sun rises.

style of eye electrofies the little boots, while rusko takes it up the breaks/dubstep alley.

stealing thunder so you move that ass, the duo dubbed thunderheist unleashes serious electrocrunk boom bap. ribcage-rattling bass breaks laced with proper rhyming are flipped with digital booty bass, 80s-inspired electronic pop and slowed down southern bounce, all fresh-dipped in serious swagger. mc and singer isis and producer grahmzilla know how to bring it. and once they ve brought it, it stays brung. >torontos shit-hot electro duo< (nme.com) are already a huge online phenomenon, but this first full taste of their forthcoming album comes courtesy of nasty mix records in canada. catchy, propulsive, ecstatic and uncompromising, it s party music of the highest order, utterly unique but sounding like its been in your head all along.

nice price deal !!! quality breaks/2 step 4 tracker by point b!!

nice & nasty are pleased to announce the release of their 14th piece of vinyl, rob glennons night freaks remixed. in january 2009 rob glennon and nice & nasty released the night freaks ep and sonic adventure in detroit techno, breaks and chilled beats. soon after the two lead trax bass shifter and ratio got the remix treatment and released online to critical acclaim and now the choice mixes are available on vinyl for the first time accompanied by wonderful artwork from detroits berlin based artist alan oldham aka dj t-1000. bass shifter gets tweaked by dutch techno maestro orlando voorn (nightvision) and londons paul mac (stimulus) whilst the original of ratio appears alongside the devastating remix by dublins the parallel. already rob has gained chart support and playlists from dave clarke, ben simms, dave ellesmere, chymera, dave mothersole, surgeon, brian henderson, mark o sullivan, dj 3000, detroit grand pubahs, itokim and laurent garnier whilst other tunes from nice & nasty are in the set lists and charts of fabrice lig, russ gabriel, tomi chair, ignition technician, dj t1000, dan curtin, claude younge, derrick may, q-burns abstract message & richie hawtin.

for release n° 28, long-time clr artist alex bau returns with two massive new tracks full of good ideas and positive energy. chris liebing had the pleasure to play out the disaster-mix for quite a while and to convince himself of the unexceptionally sensational crowd reaction. the rhythm is permanently varying, the atmosphere often changes immediately and the sounds come and go in surprising ways.
the flashback-mix is wonderfully thrifty and has a powerful bass. alex bau once more shows versatility and dedication to experiment with rhythmic and sonic possibilities. the slow building and the subtle use of beat variations and breaks underline the almost mesmerizing effect of this outstanding groove.
chris liebing considers the clr 28 the best alex bau release on clr so far and is already looking forward to your comments and critics.

first extract from the forthcoming album >dreamer are you sad< to come out soon, produced by peter deimel (deus, the kills). limited edition 7 inch full of electric breaks and noisy guitars bullying the apparent wiseness and light melodies, calling on pretty convincing influences like can, robert wyatt, radiohead, or sufjan stevens...

classic breaks, lush strings and tribal textures blend perfectly into 2 genre bending tunes!!

2006 classic including 4 quality breaks tracks!!
