an incredible u.s.a.-belgium collaboration between the dirtiest mc juan huevos and phranteek. all started when phranteek was sound engineering a juan live act. he just says >man? i guess you ll like to records some miami bass tracks?<. juan was like >of course!<. at the end of is tour, kick the lyrics on some phranteeks 808 beat. and the magic happened! phranteek says that mr. huevos is a studio beast… and we can feel it.
on b-side, daveluxes dubstep remix is incredibbly fat. we never thought releasing dubstep music, but this is not dubstep… this is deep schizophrene robot sounds highly doped on bootybass music!
winner of octaves de la musique award in 2011, dj elephant power remix sounds like a travel in a futuristic india. while listening to it, you can imagine some elephants in disguise dancing on ghettomusic!

when it comes to being a man of many talents, there are few to equal richard norris. dj, producer, musician, a&r man, author and journalist... his is a career of many twists and turns which have always seen him at the forefront of pushing new ideas forward and championing diversity and innovation, be it alongside erol alkan as part of the wizards sleeve, or gone solo as the acclaimed time and space machine.
tirk releases richards debut as the time and space machine in 2010. with the long awaited album imminent, we have decided to do a special single release of one of our favs to preceed, alongside a brace of tasty remixes. >pill party in india< is rich with the energetic twang of exotica carried down a highway of fast-paced bongos and live drums with interludes of blips, wiggles and ghostly soundtrails. absolutely stunning.

gamm proudly presents the reflex, a new and rising star within the edit scene. after his edits made big noise on soundcloud they are now finally coming out on two separate gamm releases. note, these are not just standard edits but fully reworked productions using multitracks, original samples and even live elements. the second ep by the reflex delivers three outstanding reworks. first up is a killer stomping breakbeat take on marvins & tammy terrells >aint no mountin high enough<. next is a 60s soul twist on amys >rehab< hit. the best is saved for the last when mavins >whats going on< gets an tasteful beatless rework … simply beautiful!

ramona welcomes hungarian homeboy san laurentino (electric minds, mathematics recordings) for his first outing on live at robert johnson. a self-taught producer and isolated from the hubs of electronic body music in europe and overseas, laurentinos music bears all the qualities that such a recluse has to offer: deviating, different, definite and demonstrative music. four cuts of neo-star trance, ambient wave, erotic illusions and borderline rain-forest house. ramona fell in love with them. forbidden fruits taste best.

support by: gabriel ananda, patrick lindey, karotte, samuel l session, phil kieran, laurent garnier, stephan bodzin, angel molina, alan fitzpatrick, ben sims, joris voorn, dustin zahn, joseph capriati, marco bailey, karotte,.. after the big success of his remixes for david durango & sven elmlund, label boss alexander kowalski returns with a new release of his own on damage music berlin. crossing the borderline is a track from his live-sets and has been played all over the globe. for the studio version he used all of these experiences to edit and create the techno bomb you hear today. the heavy bassline and the pumping percussions give the track a strong drive that delivers us to the break. sweet strings and flying hypnotic synth-sounds bring us to its peak, before releasing us back to the bass once again

nice price deal !!! heres something for you! pirahnahead revisits and finally releases this lost gem of a track from the detroit legend alton miller. this release entitled something 4 u (from alton millers stories from bohemia lp) is a remix which has been in the vault since 2003. in this package is the original 2003 mix and an updated touch on the cut for 2012. alton millers vocal is full of soul and feeling, and soars in the track as he delivers this powerful message. also featured is the wonderful cecilia c.sharpe (detroit symphony civic orchestra / urban stringz) on cellos, lending an extra warmth to the dancefloor vibe. live instruments, deep beats, hot vocal. not to be missed.

at this point it is difficult for us to sum up the multi-faceted career and personality of tony rohr. he is brooklyns bang mixed with mid-western politeness, and is easily one of the most original and well-liked artists in the industry. his sought-after live pa, matched with a discography and release schedule that aspiring artists would kill for, keeps him consistently in high demand. he has turned up the heat in recent years, burning miles across the globe and sharing his enthusiasm for music and life via macbook, machinedrum and two korgs.

juan atkins returns to r&s on a model 500 solo mission. the last model 500 single enlisted the help of the live line up that includes detroit techno royalty mike banks and ur alumni mark taylor, but this latest release is just juan in the studio and back at his best. >control< is vintage model 500, the classic electro that atkins pretty much invented, with his treated vocals riding over the crisp rhythm programming, dark basslines and detroit synths. >the messenger< on the flip is a moodier affair, with the liquid synths almost running away with themselves over the rough beats. model 500 and r&s has proved to have been a classic combination over the years and this release is one to file next to the classics.

when no one is watching ramona, is usually listening to future times records and beautiful swimmers all days. maxmillion dunbar is not only half of those aquanauts, but also running the label and releasing music as max(million) d(unbar). what a guy! hanging out in the vague territory between slow-motion house with a hip hop feeling or dubby and dubious fun music, his melodious approach is extremely hard to categorize but all the more enjoyable. >polo< already saw the light of day on >max trax for world peace<, but ramonas favorite dj ata and live at robert johnson manager oliver hafenbauer were so much in love with the bleepy bonbon that they offered it a place by their fireside. now cautiously modified, fine-tuned and extended for its label home, its a rainforest serenade for beatnik boys and girls, with all the ingredients you want from tha d. the only kid able to thrown down the gauntlet in front of maxi is frankfurts melody man phillip lauer (arto mwambe, brontosaurus, etcetera etcetera). turning >polo< into one of his trademark sluggish bass line barrage tracks with falsetto synths and sharp snares. get your vogue brogue out.

for the final of a season that was once again exploring the limits of party culture, maetrik celebrated an extraordinary energetic state of emergency for more than one hour. the resulting live cd is reflecting that matchless mixture of pumping deep house, energetic soul and adrenaline-enriched noise that maetrik presented already on such renowned labels from the likes of treibstoff from cologne, dumb unit and steve bugs audiomatique platform

a one-off release from james and karl here showcasing chunks of their killer live set from a recent london gig. the a-side is basically a brilliantly executed and bass heavy mashup of ruskins classic track work alongside the much loved blunted rhythms of kalons man is the superior animal.in contrast the b-side is a great intro/outro beatless tool.

after the success of the nothing special events a label of the same name begins. the events so far have been held at fabric of course and new york. the concept is simply that craig plays all night around live acts. previous guests have been pole, deadbeat, moritz von oswald trio, emperor machine, convextion, dopplereffekt. 2652, shackleton and conforce. the depth of craigs musical knowledge as a dj provides a sense of structure to the parties. the nothing special in weekly radio show format commences imminently. first release is by radionasty - the combined force of billy nasty and keith tenniswood.

limited kanzleramt classic from offshore funk a.k.a. heiko laux & teo schulte!

the catalog of pink stallone & joey washington singles continues with the arguable gem of their collaborative sessions, mine. the second daniele b & eddie mars co-production, mine exhibits the steady progression of the stallone sludge-funk thump, again fueled by gushing maturity and composure from washington vocals. eddie mars even delivers his own stunningly-authentic production of the stallone/washington sound, marking the first official mars rendition of pink stallone since his inception as a producer and member of the live group. with this comes two workouts by master of the deep the revenge who provides a stripped back timeless dub. one of those tracks that will still sound great in twenty years time. simple and effective with a hint of grandeur. finally wrapping things up are s.a.s (subb-an & adam shelton). following the bumping foot & mouth release earlier this summer we had to ask the boys to give there twist and they sure delivered. acid base and full throttle beats transform >mine< into a jacking dancefloor destroyer, be warned!

its already about ten years since we started with our first vinyl releases in 2001 including music from plastique, telly quin and mr.clean, time is running and 3 more sublabels and about 35 vinyl releases later it is time to celebrate the first decade … we are looking back to a steady upgrowing music-development, successful parties, live performances and an upbuilding artist collective.the first part of the anniversary compilation presents a variation of different dub house tracks, several are more deep, others are more massy. some remembers to the 90s us house era. including music from dub taylor (eintakt, dirt crew), olivier girardot (ogmusic, arte), lohouse (talk dirty production) and fingers in the noise (deepindub) the eintakt 00 compilation is an unique peace of jewelry, diversified and also a versant device. second part of the anniversary (will come out in december) includes music from neal white, ghettozoid (bekeschus edit), reynold, gunnar hemmerling and telly quin. the 10 years eintakt anniversary vinyl compilation will be limited to 200 copies. feel good!

11 track double vinyl album from new mark broom and james ruskin supergroup ! limited initial run on marbled grey vinyl - similar look to the recent sfbsf003 surface 12inch full picture sleeve. the project, knows as the fear ratio, has seen two of the uks finest proponents of no-nonsense, immaculately sculpted techno locked in the studio together. these sessions have already borne three 12 inch titles - no time soon, erotic misery and night nurse – two of which were released on ruskins blueprint records, with the other pressed up on brooms beard man imprint. the fear ratio moniker was adopted following the release of these club-focused 12s, with the album project honing in on more abstract and experimental textures. ruskin revealed details about the project in an interview earlier this year. he said a live fear ratio project was also in the works, with a press release claiming these would commence in 2012. as the fear ratio, broom and ruskin delve into the hinterland of contemporary music. a space where cold atmospheres meet lush melody and tough, yet clipped pulsating beats. from the warm poly-rhythmic funk of >ax< to the deep spatial reverb of >guv 1<, the dub induced strains of >pinhead< and melancholic refrain of >morning blues<, ruskin and broom deliver their new artistic agenda

brandt brauer frick haben wieder zugeschlagen. im vergangenen jahr debütierte das deutsche trio mit dem album >you make me real<, einer fusion aus techno und klassik. doch tracks wie >bop<, ein reichhaltiges, polyrhythmisches gebilde, zeigen, dass es geht. nun haben daniel brandt, jan brauer und paul frick ihr genre-bildendes experiment mit ihrem ensemble auf ein neues level gehoben: die computer haben sie eingetauscht gegen eine zehnköpfige band, mit der sie handgemachte dance-grooves live spielen können. wie das klingt, haben sie in diesem jahr bereits bei der eurosonic conference in holland gezeigt, dann in coachella, beim festival glastonbury, sonar, north sea jazz und bestival! der neue, handgemachte klang wurde nun auf einem brandneuen album festgehalten.

stephane signore delivers an excellent record called >we live in a world of ba57ard ep< chordy and firm techno that will rock in venues with good soundsystem. with long an well constructed builds on the opening track called bad trip. this is a vinyl that will no doubt get support from larger names in the industry. the second track is the stanny franssen remix of ba57ard. this is a nice rolling remix with a lot of dynamics and way more uplifting that the original. for the 3rd track on the ep we find this original piece. this is a very deep somewhat chaotic production, this might just be the eps winning track. with a strong arrangement and little vocal edits this will no doubt get played alot. for the closing track we have got >paranoid< the title covers the load, strong dark techno music that will rock your world.

the wurst music co proudly presents its very first full-length release, the aptly titled the wurst music ever. boasting ten brand new songs from wurst stalwarts and newcomers to the sausage party alike, the compilation is a bold step forward for the cult new york label. released over 3 individually released 12 eps, cd and digital, the wurst music ever is that rare commodity in dance music, chock full of personality, and by no means mere dancefloor fodder. part ii boasts stockholm studs name in lights, brooklyn live disco troupe midnight magic, and wurst alum great weekend.

this is the third of the black dogs liber series of releases that are purely aimed at the dance floor. it follows the previous, well received liber kult & liber temple 12s, these singles all lead to liber dogma, due on soma in october, and further chapters. high rise choir reprise opens with clattering percussion taken straight from recordings at forgemasters before a face-ripping gut-wrenching bassline cuts through with one of the black dogs strongest minimal grooves yet. built to move heads and feet, the hypnotic groove hooks you instantly while the haunting strings bring the emotion in massive dark waves, you cant help but fall into this track. beautifully simple, addictive and massive. dissident bleep is just that. over the years the myth that sheffield is all about bleep and bass has gathered ground but those who live here know its all about the bass. industrial repetition gives way to twisted vocal samples of >over, over<, a sure-fire nod to cabaret voltaire, before the kicks and filters pummel you.

the black dog are a legendary live act whose ability to destroy venues and wreck soundsystems is undeniable. they blur the boundaries between djing and performance while possessing an excellent sense of where to take the crowd. live, they represent purist techno, which is also utterly crowd pleasing. on record, tbd are famous for delivering subtlety, emotion, and intellectual richness, as well as great tunes, but never in their career have they managed to convey the sheer visceral impact of their performances as on liber dogma. this album contrasts with last years extremely well-received ambient outings on music for real airports and the dadavistic orkestra collaboration with members of the psychick warriors of gaia. while none of the bands artistry and care has been lost, there is now a greater focus on a pure, and utterly exhilarating, vision of how techno can transform the dancefloor into a realm of complete pleasure.

j-live s long awaited fifth full length album, >s.p.t.a.<, will be available on cd, vinyl and digitally. >s.p.t.a. said person of that ability< (pronounced spitta) is the follow up to the >undivided attention ep<. this is the first full length project released from his own imprint triple threat productions. the producer, deejay and emcee, approaches this project creatively as if he were a three man group rather than a solo artist. the album features production by j-live, rjd2, nicolay, the audible doctor, illastrate, korede, floyd the locsmif, marco polo and diamond d. the cover art features illustration by adam >illus< wallenta and art direction by collin badger of freshrr.

a very special vinyl that underlines the vision and the elasticity of the origin of this label. in this ep commodity place perfectly represent their sound, a new age psychedelic electronic sounds combined with live instruments played. distant atmospheres.
the remix of the title track is signed by the labels owner fabrizio lapiana. his version is perfectly good on the dancefloor to appreciate the atmosphere created by the original. engaging, happy and sad .. not heavy and with something resembling atmosphere coming from a part of the old school in detroit. a real journey into the sound!

live recording of a 6 channel loudspeaker concert of improvised electronic music., november 14th 2010 at Äänen lumo festival for new sounds at myllysali, suomenlinna island, helsink.

as much as track names end up being slightly more than tags and guidelines for searches in the digital era of music in which we live today, the name of the title track says a lot about the intentions behind the artwork. in the case of >the classic age<, it can be considered a homage to the influences that nourished rotcivs career throughout the past years.

early support : laurent garnier, funk d’void, miguel migs, jimpster, danny krivit, lovebirds, matthias voigt, phil weeks, lee curtiss, grant nelson, nick holder, luke solomon, rob mello, roberto rodriguez, jef k ... the title track life live is a gorgeous deep house number, in pure shur-i-kan tradition. you can really hear toms amazing keyboard skills and great musical legacy. lastly, we have one10, a slower track with a balearic feel to round up what we think is one of the best record we heard so far this year.

although its their first official release since 2010s disco anthem bubble bath and its accompanying ep, the swiss have hardly been taking it easy. they have spent the past 12 months taking their live show on the road, playing club nightsacross the us and europe including philly banger making time, fixed in new york, social club in paris, the modular summer sundance in the uk, and gracing the sydney opera house stage for australias vivid festival.
in between shows, swiss members tony mitolo, luke godson, and producer donnie sloan have been steadily working on new material, with a full album expected in 2012. double or nothing, which was written in a hotel room straight after tony played glastonbury this year as part of empire of the sun, is the first taste of whats to come from the group.

>hoping for the invisible to ignite< was recorded and mixed between paris, normandy (fr) and saint-margaret of antioch church in leeds (uk), these four haunting orchestral pieces were performed in the studio live, and re-recorded using a wall of sound process, adding the natural reverb of the church to the raw tracks. the dvd includes the super 8/16mm black&white film >as true as troilus< by jayne amara ross & a bonus live performance shot by alain grodard & rod maurice during the festival des nouveaux arts sacres at saint-eustache church in paris.

for this 11th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 3 fantastic trax done by todays hottest producers : massimiliano pagliara & rotciv. massimiliano p. has been responsible of delivering some of the best electronic tracks in those recent years on great labels such as balihu, rush hour, live at robert johnson & needwant. he teamed up for this special release with rotciv (from brazil) who made a name for himself with his special edits & has a very busy year with some upcoming 12 inches on d-edge, mister mistery & rebirth. their name is the rimshooters present >tha jackin theory< !!! heavily inspired by roland 909 chicago mythic drum machine, those guys deliver here 3 anthems, very close in spirit to tensnake & lee foss best work.. their sound is firmly rooted in proto-house and 80s r&b. with ingredients like ancient drum machines, arpeggiated melodies, and 80s pads, their connection boils over with a certain cheekiness that makes listeners grin from ear to ear. those 3 tracks have lots of groove and solid bouncy disco house beats and that piano (mmmhhh !!!). vocals arent the main event here but they do add another level showing some true disco production skills. this is surely going to be one of the biggest release this year & yep, you read right - this is only their first installment! stay tune

terpsichore welcomes the florian muller project with the marvellous >jam with it<. the funky live bass and the amazing deepness of its chords and vocals make this track a must for any deep connoisseur. florian created something special here! the oliverwho factory blessed us with two splendid remixes: hear their vocals and scream! last but not least, what would be a terpsichore release without jefferson velazquezs touch? deep as always!

hailing from the usa, boston ma, kon has been djing internationally alongside some of the worlds best djs as well as releasing several comps/edits on londons bbe label (kings of series/ off track vols 1-3 along with his vinyl collecting friend amir ) you may have heard his 1/2 hour multi-track remix mix for gilles peterson world wide show on bbc radio 1 a few months back … well here kon makes his debut dance release on the hands of time gold imprint. handling the production and arrangement, kon gives us the original version as well as a dub, pairing of samples and original music he utilizes a very clever 1 bar vocal sample from multi track stems as well as live session players (his gang) to get his vision across. with its punchy drums & warm, feel good vibes ... its a perfect affair for winding down this summer.

guy gerbers supplement facts imprint continues to drop the bombs, this time courtesy of brooklyn-based duo no regular play, with their searing package. >fall up to the sky< featuring the molten vocals of maya hatch and a blinding remix from life and death. the ep came about after label head guy gerber heard a recording of an nrp live set at an after party and was struck by one particular synth line, so much so that he contacted the pair shortly after to discuss a release. a prevailing musical connection on both sides made supplement facts the natural destination for.

brandon johnson, the artist known as tridact, has been putting together his mix of analog electronics and beats for some time. growing up in and around santa barbara, california, he has recently traded the beaches and foothills of southern california to move to the forests and mountains of southern oregon. after participating in various bands and other musical projects in santa barbara, he bought a simple setup consisting of a midi sequencer, a sampler and a couple of vintage synthesizers and began creating his own electronic music. over time he built up a small studio and added some live instrumentation into the mix. in the late 2000s, he began posting some of his tracks online, eventually leading to his first release, >light minute<, on the synchronicity suite compilation on moodgadget records, alongside artists such as wisp and mux mool. the track was later re-released on ghostly internationals nocturnal suite compilation. on tridact’s debut album on prins thomas internasjonal label, he creates an eclectic blend of densely layered, melodic, song-oriented instrumental tracks which combine analog synthesizers, guitars and programmed beats. the album draws from influences ranging from 60s pop to disco, house, techno and breakbeat to make a sound that reflects a distinctly pacific coast experience. from the new tridact album (intcd0002) we have cherry picked these tracks for a exclusive vinyl edition spread over 1 12 inch and a 7 inch.

rather lightweight live album, only thirty four minutes long, three songs and some painful applause herding for an encore. the line-up is essentially the girls line-up, though john g. perry s been replaced by an also-excellent mike wedgwood. the production is clear but the mix misjudged: the admittedly nicely brought out bass sound dwarfs all other elements. in particular, pye hastings guitar is very low, the drums never seem to match the bass volume.
