sandru is the name of the young argentinean, who made his debut on fievuntwintig and entered the playlists of catz & dogz, kiki, stephan bodzin or cumiks with his track >late night stories<. now it is about time for him to show how electronic awareness of life feels in south america with his >argentina ep< on ow036. he shifts sound aesthetics as well as emotions and his tunes move directly and incredibly intuitive into the listeners ears. dj-optimized arrangements, detroit techno harmonies and terrifically minimal techno grooves & rhythms make for sandrus >argentinia ep< to be one of ostwinds most true releases.

part ii ? axis audio. mokira once told kontra-musik that three analog tape echoes are needed to produce one mokira track. when listening to the track axis audio you can hear why. metallic bursts of sound hits like waves on an irish shore in autumn. kept together by a solid bassline and a fragile melody axis audio is an excursion in beautiful sounds. on the b-side, echospace (deepcord, modern love) makes you dance. it is distorted, it is minimal, it is raw and last but last not least, it is oh so funky. this track will move dance floors.

the much anticipated follow up to last years balearic opus >panorama suite< by max essa. >heartache (original 86 club mix)< - this funky early nineties inspired house groove seems to be channeling all the best bits of fpi project yet manages to still sound brand new and wholeheartedly relevant. this track is heading for the dancefloor - unashamedly uplifting and funky - a real breath of fresh air. sample free and featuring max on vocals. i challenge you to not move to this. >feel it in your body< is a more chuggy, dubby affair featuring a vocal chant not dissimilar to e-man grooving. funky guitars groove the track along until the synths lift it up to the next level. trancey balearic synth slo-mo goodness.

a big blast coming here from multi talent broombeck. broombeck is known for some fine releases in the past on opossum rec. and terminal m, creating a big stir with his track >the clapper< in 2009. his track wtfai is a mega rocker coming with a monstrous vocal and a seductive speedy drum programming getting it to the die hard fans in a big way. broombecks trademark is dance floor energy exercised in perfection, this is a frenetic club smasher from the future with a big nod to the past. bassdriven techno on the highest level and frankly if you dont move your feet to this tune, you better retreat back home. the remix was done by m.in who teamed up with the frankfurt artists jonas fort his. the remix works great with a long intro and adding percussion step by step creating a rush in the second half that makes it a worthy companion.

>bite sized beats vol. 3< celebrates the return of the flapjack master chef and spatula maker, frankie j. sometimes it feels good to crawl out from behind the curtain, fart, do a lap around the room giving it a good crop dusting, and then blame it on poor ventilation. so that just about sums up this fabulous new single from frankie j. >gonna give it to ya< will definitely clear a room and move them straight to the dance floor with its awesomely odoriferous bass line and tantalizing vocal workout. this is one for both cheeks and makes for all the right vibrations.

7th sign warmly welcomes marcellus pittman to the label. with a distinctive sound that pulls together soul and electronic texture into a form without compare, marcellus already boasts a formidable track record. he is a member of the seminal 3 chairs alongside kenny dixon jr., rick wilhite and theo parrish. as if this werent enough, his remarkable releases on sound signature, track mode, fxhe, fit and his own unirhythm imprint have further cemented his position as the hottest modern producer around today. here we have three glorious tracks that show different sides to his character but all sharing a common purpose - to move bodies and minds.

akiko kiyamas latest release features four tracks of intricate drum programming, bringing her characteristic warmth to the groove with their ghostly whispered vocal samples and the clicking and clanking poly-rhythmic sound made famous by the legendary berlin imprint, perlon. the first track, carnival, brings all the fun of the fair, a swirl of coloured lights barely glimpsed amongst the heaving throngs of somewhere like bar 25, followed on by an abstract slow burner which sneaks up on you with its sneezed vocal snippets and jangling bassline. talon, a real dancefloor creeper, clips along insistently and the final track, with its bass-guitar and pulsing synth line rounds of the record in perfect ethereal fashion. as akiko puts it herself, >deepness, depression, beauty, irony, fun - these are keywords for my music also my life itself<. you can definitely feel that there is much more thought put into these productions than just purely the need to move people on the dancefloor.

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.
