geno records first release comes to you from belgium based dan d. dan comes from a traditional of both classical and jazz traditions. dan also developed a love of latin dance in his youth. once moving to berlin in 2001, dan was further influenced by the house sounds of the original panorama bar. dan himself has continued on to dj some of berlins best parties/venues including beatstreet, watergate, arena, maria, and the new panorama bar. club der visionäre has also been very important to dans musical growth. dan has had the opportunity to cut his teeth playing 10 hour marathon sets during his regular appearances since 2004. furthermore, he appeared in clubs like rote sonne (munich) and decadance (gent, belgium). friends like tobi neumann and dinky got him into production in 2003. dans first vinyl release on district of corruption lead to praise from some of the best djs in the business. the african market is quite an evolved sophomoric release for dan. the title track, african market, is a pulsating but stripped down organic percussive journey. afro-cuban rhythms lovingly exchange energy with warm analog synths and crisp techno electronic beats. the flip side, el baile, is a slow burning house jam. el baile features eerily reverberated studio recorded vuvuzela, crisply saturated jazz keys, and the same pumping afro-cuban rhythms that sets dans sound apart from others.

up next on balans is a brazilian old school house & techno talent extraordinaire. he operates under the monniker betek and has only one release on black stripe under his belt so far. this is about to change, because he will be a regular on the imprint from now on.
hailing from beautiful rio de janeiro, you might not expect an artist who is dedicated to old school roland drumcomputers and bassline machines. betek clearly has a big love for the edm past, but takes it well into the new millennium with a fresh angle.
you can expect more of betek this year!

4 monster hardtechno tracks!

assoziierte man die tracks auf >ambivalence avenue< noch mit sonnendurchfluteten landschaften, so ist >mind bokeh< der nächtlich-urbane gegenpart in neonfarben. lebendig, bunt, angenehme erinnerungen weckend! hier vereinen sich warme, seligmachende klänge mit pop-sensibilitäten & peter-frampton-vocodern, entstehen hybride aus thin lizzys pop-aggressionen & dem blue-eyed-soul des 1990er french house, fusionieren afrobeat mit starsky & hutch soundtracks. >mind bokeh< ist qualitativ hochwertig & abwechslungsreich, oder wie bibio gerne seine warp-kollegen boards of canada zitiert: >nehme immer an, dass der hörer die intelligenteste person ist, die man sich vorstellen kann. wenn du immer daran denkst, wirst du ihn nie beleidigen können!< du hast dir >mind bokeh< verdient!

support by richie hawtin. gorge. toni rios. stephan bodzin. kombinat100 and many more! spring has already arrived at his secret playground: the warm air is filled with cheerful laughter and bare feet are moving rhythmically in the green grass. mollono.bass reveals a very laid-back character but also a very independent and o-pen minded approach to electronic dance music on his debut album. the rst track in the meadow represents not only a humorous hint on the best possible place to listen to this work but also creates kind of atmospheric foundation for the entire album in its light and u y manner. the lively hustle and bustle on the hidden playground happens in many di erent ways: sometimes its the frisky bounce of hopping basslines and stimulating house rhythms, sometimes its hypnotic sound structures that take the listener on an adult adventure. but above all its the unmistakable sound of real instruments and their melodies which create that earthy, organic groove of mollono.bass, a groove that gives rise to mighty spring feelings.

mr. st plomb makes everything groovy! the title track >wild at heart< is a banger. a banger with a sexy smile. full-blown organs. irresistibly funky steel-drums. and a little cosmic-ambient flirtation. dig a little deeper with house maestro agnes favela funk mixx, and get carried away in a dubby maelstrom that could turn any afterhour-celebration upsidedown. straight-up dancefloor fodder is st plombs chord-ridden b-side offering >life s here (aint we lucky?)<. a funky bass for a loving race? chicago, here we come!

augmented third. our third ep introduces the ordinary subject - title of the latest project of alexander siegel and christian scheel. infected by creating sound - generated sensory input – they are both enthused by the same. following this idea, the ordinary is certainly not able to enhance a current perception of reality, but the augmented, however, can. the ordinary subject truly live music in an irrational way and aren t it different views that can complete a perception? to get an impression of what we try to say, tune your ears and listen.

nice price deal !!!

repress of this classic 808 state release. including the amazing acid track narcossa!

the glitz have made people smile more than just one time during the last years. who has seen them knows that this is their life - their passion. so it was just a question of time they would honor us with their first long player. because of many releases at ideal, material-series, voltage-musique and pocketgame it is no surprise that this is no common album. the glitz are always different, always peculiar. fabulous remixes by daniel steinberg, nick curly, mihalis safras, kombinat100 and many others on this particular album collection prove this the truth. hugh and small glitz-hits were pimped with reinterpretations. blake baxter delights with a chicago-like smasher and tiny cheerful dub-melodies by soultek alternate with nic fanciulli s technoid grooves. on remixed you find various facets of club music by the glitz. a varied journey through the dance floors of this world. and the voyage has started just now

milan based heels of love is made up of luca saponaro (from krautrock-disco hybrids the love supreme) and michele tessadri (aka fratelli riviera). the pair of them create incredible 80s-tinged, earthy, synthesized music with healthy dose of real instruments. after some nifty releases on mad on the moon and under the shade labels we are pleased to welcome them to the nang family. with an lp poised to drop later in the year, the welcome first dose is the train >chain gang<.
the track features the dulcet (and ever growing in confidence) vocals of tokyo based max essa. the original is a pacey combination of maxs devoesque song, driving drums and the wide-as analog bass synth from the italian duo. are we men? we certainly are.

this brussels-based crustacean s cosmic craft has to be heard to be believed. sounds spring to life from forgotten corners of your speakers, each one battling for your attention yet always emerging at the right time and the right place, painting its part of the picture. shards of broken breakbeat litter the sea-bed and form a solid back bone for this invertebrate s innovative use of samples, synths and instrumentation. leading you from one vast soundscape to the next, complete with unexpected plot twists in foreign waters, squeaky lobster s beats take you out of the aquarium and into the abyss. lapti (rus). this russian beatmaker scavenges most of his samples right off vhs or dictaphone tapes. melodies you ve never heard, together with familiar retro samples, create a nostalgic and cinematic mood. masterly produced hip hop instrumentals, a clear and fresh sound, new themes and original interpretations of old and good - this is the spin of lapti

2010 was an incredible successful year for nosferatu, with no doubt the biggest highlight of them all, hosting his own area at trillogy 2010! as a tribute to this night he hit the studio with some of his good and well - known friends in the scene, which resulted into this wonderful 4 tracker on enzyme records. the tracks sick of it all (feat. evil activities) and hate on yourself (feat. the viper) can already be called real floor fillers.poop (feat. ruffneck) and hope dissolves (feat. outblast) have a more experimental character, but they definitely know how to bring movement to every dance floor around the globe!

rare and limited warehouse find, true underground storage sound quality (check samples).

the legendary skatalites, alongside the later studio one in-house bands - the soul vendors, sound dimension, soul defenders and brentford road all stars ? were as much a part of the classic studio one sound as were the singers that they accompanied such as alton ellis, horace andy, marcia griffiths and bob marley and the wailers. this album features many of the musicians involved with studio one who literally defined reggae music. from the skatalites members tommy mccook, roland alphonso, jackie mittoo to killer sidemen such as trombonist vin gordon (a/k/a don drummond jnr), saxophonist cedric im brooks, keyboardist and twelve tribes of israel member pablove black. many of the rhythms that these musicians created became the back-bone of the jamaican musical world and their songs have been replayed and re-versioned by 1000s of reggae producers ever-since. the album features classic and super-rare tracks all recorded under clement ?sir coxsoneÊ doddÊs supervision at the legendary recording studio and record label. as well as sixteen killer tracks the album comes with new sleevenotes and photography by dennis morris and adrian boot making this another essential studio one reggae release for connoisseurs of reggae and newcomers alike.

studio one dub 2 is a second collection bringing together some of the finest dubs from the legendary studio one records, kingston, jamaica. dub music was the creation of a generation of brilliant recording studio engineers in jamaica. but although clement coxsone dodds studio one is hailed as the greatest of the jamaican recording labels, and although many talented engineers worked the board at dodds brentford road studio over the years (including sylvan morris, syd bucknor, overton scientist brown and dodd himself), studio one was never typically known as a centre for dub.

initial support comes in from pig & dan, paco osuna, tim xavier, richie hawtin, m.a.n.d.y, nic fanciulli, mauro picotto, slam, john digweed, chris fortier and omid/16b! the title to this ep >reminisce< gives us some idea as to feeling of these three tracks, as j alexander pays tribute to some of the late 80s and early 90s sounds that influenced him in his early days. however that said, his talents at blending the old and new together make this much more than a retro sounding ep!

over the last couple of years, christopher rau has built a reputation as the finest ear canal masseuse in the contemporary house music scene, catching the attention of fellow hamburger dj koze who has recruited him for this new three-track ep. raus debut full-length asper clouds, released in the fall, was noted for straddling the line between >club< and >headphone< music, earning 4 out of 5 stars from resident advisor along the way, and now, with the how are you ep, he follows up to further explore his sonic approach: an assault of subtlety. >pervading animal< is built upon a solid foundation of familiar rhythm box elements, but like vines and moss, the sedating sounds of strings and keys envelop the empty spaces, showing christopher raus ability to combine the artificial and the organic into something transcendent. then, on the flip side, he lets his weirdness factor shine. at first, >c f r< sounds like by-the-numbers muppet new age, but graduates with distinction as the meowing synth squiggles saunter over the basketball beat. the ep denouements with >how are you today<, marked by a toasty chord progression thats playfully trying to compose itself as the track moves forward, turning science fiction into science fact. you want to believe
