das beste kommt zum schluss, wie es so schön heißt… acker records wirft zum großen finale der aktuellen freiluftsaison noch mal eine ordentliche portion vertonte sommereuphorie in die runde, oder besser gesagt auf die tanzfläche. warme klangfarben, lebensbejahende rhythmen und eine gehörige dosis hitpotential ziehen sich durch die rillen der platte, welche die herrschaften dole & kom hier vorlegen. für das ständchen auf ihrer „quetschkommode“ lassen sie sich von südamerikanischen melodien inspirieren, die passende percussion dazu liefert entsprechend temperamentvolle schubkraft. home beginnt mit minimalem groove, aus dem takt für takt immer mehr melodieschichten herausfiltern, der rhythmus baut mit jedem beat weiter auf… bis sich der hörer plötzlich inmitten einer zwingenden house-nummer wiederfindet, ohne zu wissen, wie er dort eigentlich hingelangt ist. die b-seite gehört mollono.bass. mit hüpfendem offbeat und funkensprühenden hi-hat-kaskaden treibt er die ausgeprägte latino-euphorie der quetschkommode durch dubbige hallräume.

craig mcwhinney is a melbourne based dj, producer and live artist. beginning his techno explorations behind the decks in 2000, his transition to the studio has been swift and fruitful. a string of releases on his own label haul music which he co-founded in 2008 with friends mike callander and christian vance, are now being backed up with remixes and eps for speedy js electric deluxe, and brendon moellers steadfast records. drawing upon his wealth of djing experience, he crosses the boundaries of dub infused techno and house with precision and intent, blurring the line between dance floor dynamics, home listening, experimentation and sound design. he is also collaborating with mike callander as haul music live, fusing craigs rhythms with mikes soundscapes to create unique dance floor interpretations of their individual sound experimentations. wild coast is a low-slung filthy minimal romp that possesses as much primal energy as it does futuristic funk. bassbins and heads are likely to be blown by this demented puppy. echologist keeps things lofi, hypnotic and subby.

before the release of his debut album on ki, monokle throws in an ep to show us what to expect. the beautiful track >swan< pretty much describes perfectly what monokle means when he says that simple rhythms and catchy beats get him bored quickly. being influenced by the music of the british imprint warp for example, the sankt petersburg based artist has pretty much developed his own interpretation of well, what should it be called? it is monokle! he has his very own aesthetic approach to music and has a very fine hand for sublime melodies and atmospheres. on the b side he teams up with his friend and partner milinal. >swan< gets a proper retouch by daisuke tanabe, who shares monokles deep soundscapes and is just the right member of the ki family to get his hands on this ep.

support & feedbacks from : theo parrish, rick wade, jus-ed, boo williams, luke hess, benjamin brunn, ron deacon, duijn etc.... lonely happiness is the debut album by damien zala (24 years old, french producer) on his own rowtag label. this album with many influences is a subtile travel between differents deep house inspirations, ideas come from ambient music, soul, funk, jazz but also movies and damien s homeland (south of france). all tracks have been produced with analog hardware, a recorder and a few old vinyls samples.

copy paste soul is a london based producer who makes warped yet warm deep house, which soothes the soul without missing a beat. over the last year this highly skilled artist has been making tunes to satisfy those wanting fresh sounds with a brittle edge and echoes of classic 90s dance music. the crossover appeal of tunes such as >want it< is obvious for all to hear and latest track >makes you feel good< does exactly what the title states.
with huge tunes like >84 vintage< and >so good< already under his belt, copy paste soul has an ever expanding army of fans in the dj community. annie mac called his productions gorgeous, while the legendary laurent garnier has been hammering these tunes in his set. tensnake and pearson sound are also big supporters and this moreish music has been played by skream & benga on their radio1 show and by brackles on rinse fm. this is only the beginning for copy paste soul, a producer who makes sounds of the future now…

the close of the disco-era was far from the end of patrick adams career. in the 1980s he would lend his creative genius to such notable acts as salt n pepa, keith sweat and carol lynn townes. in the 1990s he helmed recordings by eric b. & rakim, paul lekakis and morris day. but the focus here is on the years he spent with peter brown and p&p. years where he was at his creative zenith as an arranger, composer, and performer. this is patrick adams >best of p&p records<.

obscure japanese house release from 2010 that was pressed in a small batch and sold out soon on the japanese market. the funk drenched, jazz injected tracks slowly went from mouth to mouth over the last 2 years creating demand for a proper release that reaches more corners of the world! excellent release produced by this japanese producer from tokyo, manufactured in detroit (archer)

2011 solo album from the rage against the machine guitarist.

electro rapide is a collection of rare and unreleased archive material from the studio archives of legendary french orchestral pop composer jean-claude vannier. taken from the period before and during his revered creative relationship with serge gainsbourg (reaching their halcyon with 1971s histoire de melody nelson) these tracks reveal a rare glimpse of vannier’s self-initiated instrumental projects that were crowbarred between an airtight studio diary as one of frances most in demand arrangers and composers of the post mai-68 generation...

4th release by 12records, presenting the new deep88 >removing dust< ep (taken from the forthcoming >removing dust< album that will be released later on this year). main single is a2 >the vibe<, a classic 90s beat made over a real melody, where vocals parts crossover and match each others, in two differents peaks, to create a whole >vibe< flow from the start till the end of the song. a1 is a test signal experiment, where samples take a different level, a sort of meta sample, a sample into a sample… well, have a listen, its easier to understand that way. bside is 3 tracks long, not a common practice in todays ep releases. b1 >grancartridge<, a moodymann house style raw song, b2 is even more raw sampling style, meanwhile b3 is a dreamy vocal house tune more common to deep88s style. the result is a mature ep, that ntroduces the 2nd deep88 album, always on 12records, and that will bring him into that >serious< realm of making house that is seen in some elite today (funny isn’t it… at the end it is just about music and we all have ears… maybe)... btw less marketing on our head, this 12inch wont be a coloured or hand written limited release, just the good old classic black one (yes it sounds better folks) and no limited copies… when is close to finish we will repress as usual.

dope me / does caroline know? is a slightly clubbier affair-less sun ra and more soul capsule-but still possesses the air of strangeness that makes the duo so unique. each artist leaves his mark within the first few measure of dope me. the steady high-hats and flawless kick drum are straight out of dazes playbook, while the nervous piano and 3 chairs-style claps are unmistakably bruno. as for the slurred vocal pleading >dope me..dope me<, thats anyones guess. the track carries on for a solid nine minutes as half-melodies and quasi-hooks slide in and out of the mix. the b-side, does caroline know?, takes us deeper and darker. the drums are plodding, the mood is ominous, and a series of dreamlike flourishes add to an already eerie groove. like the a-side, its a surrealistic style of house that only these two could deliver. the artwork, as usual, is done by daze maxim.

lakosa & io are third to grace the madtech roster with their dancefloor banger home early, which features remixes by west norwood cassette library and the 17 year old exceptionally talented experimental grime producer pedro 123. home early is a punchy house track weighted by bass and marching with the suave speed of 4/4 house. its sultry vocals and samples tease the determined beat that drops in and out developing a bold breakdown. the track sits nicely between house and uk bass, giving it the flexibility to sit within an array of styles in future sets and mixes. west norwood cassette librarys remix gives the original a disco tinge with the use of strings and vintage sounding samples. the vocal is scrunched and ricochets neatly off the carefully placed beats and samples. the pedro 123 remix gives the original a smack of grime and a refreshing sound. pedro stretches the vocal into a smooth echo that drifts over the top of his clipped punching bass line. a grime-tinged wobble and a bassy beat resonates beneath pedros impeccable percussive production.

luv005 already and no doubt another classy four tracker that will top a few sales charts in the coming weeks and months. it has been a wonderful summer for the luv shack crew with every release bettering the last. the response and reaction to the new label has been astounding and beyond a pleasant surprise. with intelligent dance music such as this, it really shouldnt be such a surprise, but in a world of mass mediocre music, it does happen more often than not, that the good stuff doesnt always find its way. the guys though have found a place in a lot of hearts and quite a few tasty dj sets and record boxes with four very consistent releases. so, here we go with what is yet another worthy addition to any half decent djs repertoire me thinks. and it is lee stevens who teams up with local friends to deliver a very crafted set of aural niceness for your distinguished pleasure.
