italian based eclipsemusics second outing comes with a serious release courtesy of passenger, young and talented producer of night drive music and paul macs sula muse fame. this two tracks 12inch confirms his interest in the deepest and more underground side of detroit techno. on side a >the fall< reveals the smoother side of this upcoming producer: a deep melodic techno builder, with emphasis on atmospheric strings and arpd melodies, developing on a funked up techno drum section. the flipside brings you the burner of the 12inch: >the funk< is an a epic, slow-growing and booty-shaking techno track with all the elements in its right place: a killer bassline over an effective drum work takes the flight with the building strings. namedropping would be useless in this case, just check with your ears

king roc of two armadilloses solo release #3 on his own label. the b-side called >flows 1&2< is a upbuilding cynical tech-house monster with a super arrangement and an orgasmic string-drive breakdown. on the flip you will find a cool dramatical tech-house track and a nice ambient cut

mri first came to prominence in 2000 with the release of the ground breaking rhythmogenesis on forcetracks and his acclaimed mille plateaux productions. due to the massive reaction drawn from the contribution on the latest 12, take kare not acid, mri returns back to the resopal imprint with two new tracks to redesign the past and further the future. title track bateau is a banging builder that is reminiscent of the current house flavored tracks but resonates the touch of classiness and depth of mid 90s reduced techno arrangements. decayed bassdrum, pad, chords and a break - distinctly marked with modern hyper percussive tendencies, based in between house and techno soundscapes this a-side is a pure bomb. the flipside ivre by all means reaching the dancefloors of today. cascading rhythms build subtly behind the fuelled drive of bass, and druggy vocals fully defined by mris signature formula. all in all, bateau ivre tunes up in fresh formula towards techy driven reduced microhouse, bring through a soothing and completely refreshing 12that will be sure to please old and new fans alike. ltd. stock

an uplifting record thats equally as strong in its rhythm and drive as it is in its message, melody and harmonies.

shadowdancer is paul farrier from manchester. in 2007 he produced his first release on boysnoize records. 4 quality electronica tracks that were found in dj bags of mr.oizo, erol alkan, feadz or 2manydjs. today he’s back with a new smart track called “cowbois” which is a cut up disco hammer with great breaks and an ebm bassline to drive people wild

excellent follow up !! when rino cerrone and joseph capriati work together these days, the most upfront minimal techno can be expected. this release is no exception, as these tracks are obviously made to rule the dancefloor! minimalistic, yet with a drive that we know from techno - the style both artists embraced when they got in touch with it...

excellent groovin voodoo/detroitish techno..

hairy claw kicks off 2008 with new artists, a more consistent release schedule, a new a&r (alongside label man stevie kotey) in our man dean muhsin and some serious releases. first up comes from dan drastic. dan is a german producer and dj with impeccable taste. previous output for highgrade has been superb and he has some amazing stuff due to drop on moon harbour (where he takes care of promotions in fine style) so hairy claw have handpicked him for the first release of 2008. deep, groovy and with just the right amount of drive, >xibeca< is a mordern house cut of the highest order. supernature and tsuba artists bearweasel take the techier elements of dan’s original and twist them into a flowing tech-house cut too - so there’s something for the heavier crowds too. there are big things afoot with hairy claw, we’ll keep you posted

hector moralez forms another formidable partnership with jump recordings dj jaz. coming from the west side offers 2 top notch original cuts and kicks off with a bang on a1. drive slow combines smooth female vocals with organic keys to create a deep twisted house groover. summer windy is a peak time affair that uses live sax loops and sleek beats and arrives just in time for the start of those hot summer months. hudd traxx label bosses slum science pick the pace up on the b side with a remix that would fit in well into sets of jocks like inland knights, dj heather, ralph lawson, chris carrier & dj raoul. the slumsters work out tough beats with clever stabs,...

phat chicago & electro influenced prime techno with shuffle vibes.. sure shot for all miditonal fans

two building up monsters with very precise production and clear mixing. these tracks will dominate the floor for sure and drive people crazy with their hypnotic style. the return of a. mochi, who made his name not only with releases on luke slater s >mote evolver< imprint, also his last kumo-release was a massive success by finding a way to combine shaky minimal grooves with the energy of clearly arranged, straight techno

francesco assenza and dlo are fresh to the scene with just a couple of records out on unpolite recordings. that they are big talents they proof here on the 6th release of the very succesfull minisketch 10inch series. on the a-side we hear deep pulsating beats with a groovin drive that just make you want to wobble. the flip is even funkier with a smooth driving bassline

jeder einzelne der 13 tracks ist auf seine weise uplifting und angenehm, besonders wenn przygoddas lebensgefährtin geka winkler ihre wunderbare stimme beisteuert wie in den tracks cliff und drive. ebenso gelungen ist der unglaublich zurückgelehnte, aber dabei null kitschige saxophonlastige introtrack when you step und die vergleichsweise rockigen tracks two for future und a rockets nightflight, in denen man dann auch die prise punk entdecken kann. zum schluss bekommt man dann mit home of the wishes noch eine perfekte hymne, die zu praktisch jedem happy end der filmgeschichte passt, mit auf den weg.

knackig frischer minimaler techno mit viel energie und emotion... killer

straight jackin funky 3 tracker with cool disco, blues and jazz influences!!! cant afford to sleep on this!!!

prepare for some bonus beats from john spring, following his last year’s fabulously striking >ready to broadcast< (sus_66). from the start >skychef< is bleeping and clonking along with a bold carelessness, until the sprouting bass growth spreads a still dry, but irresistible drive, whose modulated bursts are there to cause joyfully puzzled faces on the dancefloor - john spring in grand condition! the remix of veteran whizz-kid dan curtin adds a full ladle of truthful techno on top. the bustling american celebrates the foundations of the genre with the aid of classic hypnosis and a solidly rolling bass footing, and proves to be the perfect add-on to the lightfooted original.

you re the one is the first single taken from his forthcoming album as high as the sky which will be released on wagon repair in may. baby you re the one is fast out of the blocks with racing percussion and a plunging bass loop. a piercing metallic tone encircles a distorted vocal sample as subtle melodies rise to the surface of the mix, steadily intensifying to climax. on the flip side, crackbeat is a darker animal. kindling wild percussion carries an eerily distant key melody that supports a rich synth siren. teeming with activity, the synth melody is trailed by bubbling bass tones as a feral percussive drive chases to close.

on the previous release of dualblock taras van de voorde, estroe and thomas lauren all dropped great tracks. on this release the same three dutch producers are represented. thomas lauren on the a-side comes forward with >fairwinds gossip<. a quality track that is great for warming up any crowd. on the flip side estroe takes us a little deeper into the night with >beatbox contest<. a techno based track with a nice drive, making clear estroe is influenced by the detroit sound

support comes from d julz, miss joles, paul woolford, rob melo, satoshi tomiie, james flavour, tommy four seven and many more... on the a side, the original’s non-stop drive taps into the hidden house music adrenal glands to deliver a pure, unabashed banger. driving, sexed up, non-stop sweat inducing action. on the flip, gusgus attack the original with their warehouse of analog machines - simulta-neously extracting the essential groove of the track but infusing it with their own icelandic party freak show. minimal, maximal or whatever you want to call it, it’s a gem and one of gusgus’ finest remixes to date.

as on his first 12inch hidden structure ep, finland based producer rasmus hedlund is delivering his follow up with uplifting, energetic and ass shakin future electronic music. the opener >tasureitten jaelkeen< is a combination of the deepness of house and the direct drive and aggressiveness of the monetanous techno sound, stirred up with that special, classic and timeless feeling while the a2 takes the vibe harder with layers of pacy minimal soaked rhythms by remixer uemit akauna and his fresh mixing gives this track a real big system bass edge. on the flip we have kolinator, a more percussive tool and the b2 skuuges taas. all four tracks are aimed squarely at the dancefloor, with straight forward 4/4 beats driving through raw synth stabs, minimal percussion and deep bass - a clear-cut killer groove record which nails the crowd to the floor!

c mon get up! get up! its sunday and time to go to church! gents hold on to your bibles, ladies hold on to your hats & fans as dj drop this crazy sunday evening mix on the congregation. sean mccabe from the blak beat niks puts the feet in stomp with this track. just listen to the thick, pounding kick of the beat! soulful guitar riffs and the base organ that roll in tandem with the guitar taking the energy level pass infinity. another organ wheezes, whines, shakes and wiggles against the groove, while the strings carry the original melody. the modulations are too intense and will drive any dance floor crazy and have them begging for more.

the first release is by matt himself and the maestro presents a monstrous 3-tracker with an a-side so intense, we were tumbling after listen to it for the first time. the b-side contains two manic tunes, which will drive even the hard-boiled dancer into vertigo

with blind way, franck roger is going back to the early years of house. in fact he shows a lot of himself, musically and vocally, taking us onto a fascinating night-tracky journey. some may call it old school, franck simply calls it 100% pure house music. i dream of u is a little shout out to the wonderful & inspirational detroit scene. the hypnotic chimes loop, turnin around a looped bass, whilst stabs drive this riveting track along its way. only for real house lovers! call it detroit house but why not also call it paris house music!?

includes a huge electrohouse remix by cicada

this time again offering some delightful grooves that will be appreciated both by the dance floor crowd and home listeners. nicely starting off the ep is berlin based greek producer ekkohaus - on his second tune for the label with a very detroit-influenced track, massive elements of groove and funk, exploding half-way through and teasing the listener as the snare/clap comes in on the half beat. this tune will be largely enjoyed by both techno and house fanatics. next one on the list is italian marco shuttle, offering a slightly different approach with his deep, long & repetitive journey of soft synth chords and elegant elements that remind of cadenza releases, providing a perfect tune for the after-hours or stylish warm up. on the flip we find ourselves with a huge tune from queen atom, perfect for the peak time hours in those big packed club rooms: a combination of detroit-esque funk, with trippy back melodies and percussive 909 toms waving through the atmosphere, resulting in a dark yet groovy slow-tempo techno piece. strikingly finishing off the ep is argentinean artist rudolf, already known for his previous releases on sthlm, who delivers an enormous experimental track with intensely layered vocal melodies: eerie, ghostly and combined with many industrial aspects, the result is an immense bubbly, watery track that will indisputably drive clubbers insane throughout the globe.

fresh after the release of his well-received wagon repair debut, we are thrilled to present italian producer luca bacchettis >like a sadhu ep<. a prominent tech-house dj and prolific producer with releases on tenax recordings and safari electronique prior to his work with wagon repair, luca can also be found presenting the excellent xtrabass show on samurai fm. opener >like a sadhu< is a driving tech-house track, motored by a pulsating bass loop and enlivened by fast approaching synth highlights, buzzing rhythmic tones and restless percussive transformations. >trust< is saturated with new dimensions, mixing a deep bass drive and clattering percussion with intensifying synth passages and an unnerving ambience. >the way to corvocado< is the deepest of the trilogy, mixing a sparse soundscape with subtle percussive pushes as a stabbed chord passage adds melody

huge electro / techhouse

already support by james holden, ripperton, anthony collins, sian. nhar has been releasing stuff since 2005 on labels like mobilee, plak and modelisme. with dont forget to lick, the frenchman has conjured up a real booty shaker from the depths of his hard drive for meerestief. summery drumming on the other hand by lucy, comes across tender and almost fragile. the artist hails from paris and released his formidable debut glass computer on rippertons perspective label. his contribution for meerestief is a fabulous track with dreamy pads and surreal sound, riding on a clear kick drum. it is a movie sound track and a small symphonie a the same time!

kontra-musik 006 moves the label into the analog domain of electronic dance music. this kind of sound you only get with the good old analogues. the a-side, produced by the master of the modular system, pseudonym scaff, takes us deep down our favorite techno memory lane. if techno was the meeting of kraftwerk and george clinton in an elevator, ssm 440 is the outcome of jeff mills and maurizio having breakfast at tiffanys. this track is warm, dubby and monotonous but with a drive heading straight for the late night dance floor. the b-side gives us two unique sounding tracks from pseudonym aparatus. city tunnel slowly and elegantly grinds, cranks and turns while building its way towards dance floor bliss. x-presso is best described as periodic fluctuations of voltages in the analog domain. elegant details of beautiful sound take us back to the time when minimal music still was interesting. this is >techno< in the sense that the term was originally intended. enjoy cause analog is the bastard
