french artist, lee van dowski of num and cadenza lowers eyes and draws lips to partial smirks with his charming and witty release. „the variable man,“ based on the title of a science fiction story series from the 50’s, is brilliantly transmitted through a tunnel of sound engineering and audio design by lee van dowski. lee’s electronic rendering of „the variable man,“ distinguishes several dominant male voices accumulating a rhythmic momentum to the peak of the track, a peak where an orgasmic flow just stops short of the central explosion, fundamentally, fading the instrumentals before revamping again. the b-side of the track, „thomas coles lives,“ co-produced by agnès, comes alive with a fascinating mix of symbols and keyboards. „the variable man“ is lee’s second release on leena music, after his first 12“, „louder elvis,“ in collaboration with agnès appeared on leena in 2008. both tracks express very minimalistic tones yet are characterized by rather divergent

electric arguments is the first fireman album in 10 years, and this song based album couldnt be more different than its predecessors. for those who dont know by now, the fireman is a collaborative project between music icon paul mccartney and revered producer youth. the pair first worked together in the 90s when they made two ambient dance albums. originally the firemans identity was anonymous and was eventually revealed by the press as being paul and youth. in september it was announced that the fireman would this year release their first brand new material in a decade and this time there was a big difference - the duo had found their voice. speculation began, one studio insider was reported as saying the new songs sounds like arcade fire meets led zeppelin. certainly so far, anyone who has already heard the album has commented on just how accessible electric arguments is, compared to the first two fireman albums. this album is an eclectic and diverse collection of songs that show paul is still interested in pure musical possibilities. each track was written and recorded in the space of one day. the fireman went into the studio with no plan or clear direction of how they wanted the album to sound. the project took a life of its own and the results will surprise anyone expecting to hear the previous sound of the band.

christopher just released this storming tribal-aacid 2-tracker in 1997 on his petra-label.

brand new single taken from the album intuition!! includes main version feat t.i.!!

3 beat have consistenly delivered some of the biggest tracks throughout 2008, and here they follow up the pop smash of paddys revenge with altogether cooler but equally catchy remix package of candy on dancefloor. comes in a variety of styles, head for the wideboys electro influenced mix as this totally tears the roof off- massive release and just in time for the party season new buzz chart no.3 !

breaking the rules and beeing anything but mr. nice guy - with this massive new ep on karateklub blood & tears shows his straight, trippy, disturbed and mindthrilling way of getting a dancefloor boiled, slaughtered and painted blood-red. blood on the dancefloor is a hypnotising anthem, a bow to the sound of frankfurt of the mid ninetees, pounding more than nine minutes, combining the catchy grooves of todays- and the spirit of oldschool techno with rising pads and pushing sequences. this was made to be played on big floors on very high volume, so turn it up and see what happens when the drums return after a breathtaking break...because blood will follow blood - flip the disk and drop the needle. another advanced dj tool awakens the b-side - your truth was just another lie, something like the beautiful silence before the storm which is the heavy and absolutely non-compromising i wish you were dead. eight minutes of hate and destruction, of nothing but pure techno and a statement that needs no fucking explainings!

original mix, big beats and massive vibe make the original a real dance floor monster. with an almost house vibe its hard to accurately classify, though ticking nearly all the boxes for a trance smash with awesome build ups and breakdowns. michael cassette remix, inventing their own style which you might call a kind of retro progressive house house the cassette boys never fail to impress with their big room sounds. this remix is certainly not an exception to the rule with aggressive beats and groovy oldskool sounds. store n forward remix, well whats left to say about the snf guys when everything they do is just awesome? another solid remix to add to their portfolio, a progressive sound of gritty basslines and trance euphoria.

if you secretly believe that all of the best dance music has an undercurrent of melancholy then you are in for a treat. 0.5, the debut ep from the fascination movement, doesn?t skimp on either the dancefloor rhythms or the windswept yes-we-remember-new pop romanticism. the fascination movement is looking forwards, not backwards: just because this is music that adapts the same vocabulary created by bands like new order or early orchestral manoeuvres in the dark doesn?t change the fact that from the first arpeggios of ?just pretend? you feel the shock of the new. of course, you may be too busy humming along to the choruses to notice how slyly the band makes a classic sound fresh again...

just released from prescription laboratories… artifacts from the future is the second installment from the newly launched ground breaking label future vision ... huge futuristic and hyper modern deep house slammer.. ltd restock

jamaican born and miami based producer stryke mashes up the electronic dance music scene for a long time with numerous releases on labels like ovum, hooj choons , monoid, circle, guidance, platform or twisted. he collaborated with artists like murk, christian smith, john beltran, santos and alex flatner just to name a few. he started playing classical piano at the age of four and explored synthesizer, techno and djing in his youth at the age of 12 and 14.

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. were gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainlly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut. just the way we like it...for int005 we bring you a slow house chugger in the form of break the barriers, done by malaysian born and berlin based frankie flowerz. i have to say, its not by choice i decided to put this track out but a calling... upon hearing this track in frankies myspace player i knew i had to put this out over 12 inches in full scope... i spent some time trying to come up with the perfect match for remix duties and i think weve succeeded with the choice of man of the moment(and soon to be legendary)john daly of galway who turns in a slightly faster, darker and a bit dubbier affair.

next musica diaz toro is by marc otool, who is a part of the international dance-scene for decades! the musics got me is a wonderful deep but pushing club track with beautiful vocals! next to the original versions, theres a pumping prime-time-monster remix by dabruck & klein, who just launched their own label and remixed guys like axwell & bob sinclar, sebastian ingrosso or tommy trash in the last few months! including dabruck & klein remix

the wurst edits gang has inducted yet another ny disco acolyte to the fold, the inimitable irishman-in-new york, eamon harkin. known for wild dj sets not to mention his innovative bookings at such parties as sunday best and fun, harkins no stranger to dance music. no wonder the mans shared bills with such legends as afrika bambaataa, juan atkins, grandmaster flash, the egyptian lover, and kevin saunderson. on his debut single, the man heads straight into peak-time territory with the sinister sounds of >john boy<, where synth toms jump out of the shadows only to punctuate an incredibly propulsive groove. >innit< takes a decidedly different turn down edits lane, rejuvenating an early 90s house gem in magnificently wurst fashion.

a release from the advent on mbelektronics, that s fucking crazy! the man is nothing less than a living legend, after tons of releases on labels such as kombination research, tresor, gigolo and drumcode just to name a few. >my world< is hands-in-the-air mnml electro-techno, whereas >terra nosa< is an extremely catchy dancefloor groover that will find its way to the crates of everyone who is up to date with techno music. spot on!

reinventing the word dj, insideamind is the leading force in turntable music performance. knowing no limits, innovators steptone & professor fingers raise the bar high with their natural showmanship. spellbinding soundtracks, head snapping breaks, tears, laughter, and magic make up their acrobatic, high energy onstage flow. blowing away audiences not just with clever samples, but an onslaught of layered beats, big bass, and sudden switches to live improvised remixes that pull crowds deep into their world. the tiniest spy is insideamind?s first vinyl single, the title track features the exquisite vocals of laura barrett from paper bag records, over the furious drum beats, scratches and soundscapes created by steptone and professor fingers. a matter of time takes you a head nodding hip hop feel, featuring a daunting techno style remix by murr (from lal) and old school hip hop remix by toronto?s circle research crew (a recent signing to melting pot music).

yes, hes back with a huge follow up, after his first impress he left with down. his decision to work with the wonderful and unique voice of soniamiki was just magnificient. marlon krupa is well known in the minimal techno szene because of his digital releases, which always climed the highest positions in digital download charts. its high time to introduce him to the friends of vinyl. with his minimal remix, he will impress! at least, racso and jenn pushed the original in their different kind of styles and generate at all, a record with a high variety of sound and styles. taste the full-bodied flavour of the night!

with no.2, it s philipp wolgast who is obviously >on guard<, as eminor s sister s name suggests. crystal clear sounddesign is interweaved with exceptional track-writing here. this is the one for the moments of >just sound< in which the border between individual and environment finally blurs.

the mysterious syrinx came to us out of nowhere. his tracks sound as if he has been around for a long time, maybe he has. we were pleasantly surprised with the standard of his music. deep, melancholic and building dub techno, just as we like it. though keeping the tradition alive (model 500, chain reaction etc), he does add his own vibe to this genre. nice! this is volume one out of two. both releases will come in matching artwork...

supported by richie hawtin, marco carola, adam beyer, paco osuna and many more..

nice detroitish funky electro double lp

nice price deal !!! receiving major support from the likes of tony humphries, cj mackintosh, danny krivit, johnny fiasco, richard earnshaw, mark grant, colette, nicolas matar and much more...its rare these days that a song can rock the dance floor while maintaining quality and integrity but also leave you inspired by the message in the music. life is the music is a prime example of this combination. londons sonny j mason has done just that and delivers a refreshing uplifting vocal with positive meaning. this song has the right combination of energy and soul to make you move while singing along, because tomorrow aint promised, so dance, cause life is the music. miguel migs salted dub deluxe strips it down and moves into slightly more techy territory with a bouncing bassline and dubbed out cut up vocal snippets. miguel migs bump the tech dub delivers a breakbeat groove with a gritty electro ish bassline filtering in and out while layered sweeping synth pads glide on top. the original version is a midtempo soul stomper with classic hip hop and r&b flavor. accessible to radio and club djs alike this song has definite crossover appeal.

willie graff spends his summers in ibiza where he is deejaying regularly. productions with various partners like jerome sydenham, pippi or tuccillo gained him an excellent reputation. when the sun goes down - a touching piece, slowly building with an atmospheric darkness to turn into an irresistible groove. this track has been played already by loco dice, cassy & luciano to name just a few. on the flipside bang making a big bang.

uplifting electro 2008 rework by fatchoons

remixes by kollektiv turmstrasse, noze & apparat !! raz ohara and the odd orchestra received critical acclaim for their self titled album released earlier this year. they may have not been the inventors of their unique style, but the danish patrick rasmussen and his german cohort oliver doerell have certainly helped to redefined the idea of what an electronic musical album can, could and should be. just as artists such as bjork, portishead and booka shade have done so before them. following up their first album single, kisses, this is offering with four other tracks from the album that get the remix treatment courtesy of apparat, kollektiv turmstrasse, nôze and raz himself. it was only a matter of time before one of razs tracks got the 4x4 treatment. kollektiv turmstrasse have showed respect and kept the spirit of the original alive. keeping the original guitar and vocal arrangement intact while simply adding a little bump and shake to the mix. raz shows us that things can be better the second time around, as he continues to proclaim his, love for mrs. rhodes. although he does not trade in his melodies for a kick and snare, they are certainly more prevalent in this dramatized mix complete with arpeggiated synths and additional sound effects. hopefully, this time he will win her heart

nice price deal !!! another great track released on the hit label link. 2 different versions by raf marchesini, and by nicola fasoli aka powered milk & karim razak!

arctic monkeys were already massive way before they inked a deal with domino in june 2005. people obsessing over the songs? sold out gigs full of stage diving nutcases. hardcore fans pressed up against venue windows, just hoping to catch a glimpse such checkpoints have all been ticked. the boys may share a love of the smiths, the clash and the jam, but in no way were the monkeys ready to simply regurgitate the well trodden brit rock path.

ltd backstock! >every message about new releases from neil landstrumm in the near past regarding the bass-techno seemed to be uncredible an unlikley. but now, his break to produce that kind of electronic music was over with releasing the ...ep on tresor records few weeks ago. so we are just proud to present the following output of neils creative work titeled >the observor< on neue heimat rec., a combination of his famous dark sounds with a deep bass and his new ideas and impressions from this young and exiting millenium. very mighty<
