rmxy by robert dietz & arnaud le texier !! born in france, it is in ibiza/spain that luc ringeisen founded the records store vinyl club in 2003, wich has been an important element in the spread of underground electronic music in ibiza (and therefor in europe...). the record label vinyl club recordings created in 2005 went immediatly succesfull and helped to discover some of the best underground music producers of the moment such as petre inspirescu, jonas kopp, and some of the best djsproducers of the world famous clud dc-10/ibiza (circoloco). luc ringeisen is nowadays resident dj at underground-club / ibiza and the vinyl club recordings events take place all over europe, having its main residencies in berlin (where the label headquarter is since 2007) and in ibiza. for his debut on safari he delivers 2 tracks absolutely pure quality.

franco cangelli is back on mowar with deep and spacy techno grooves. >locked on< goes in a stripped down techno alley with basic square grooves layered with a drifting sawtooth bass sound that gradually shows its teeth and gets you down there... estroe turns this groover into a deep workout, soul music for emotional cyborgs, with strings creating a melancholic detroitish feel. >create your own space< is a techno soul track where stabbing chords and lullaby pads make sweet love to square bass melodies and off-beat rhythms. it s a deep groover in the strictest sense. glasgow s solab from seventh sign give the track a more uplifting feel retaining the original s deepness but adding an element of raw dancefloor friendliness. mowar stands for quality deep techno and this third release delivers you just that

following on from 2008s massive marcel dettmann remix on mikrowave, this is part 1 of kevin gormans groundbreaking new elements series. the title is elements because kevin will be making available every single component sound (or element) of every single track, as well as a wealth of alternate versions, bonus beats, dj tools, loops and effects. creative djs and producers take note.

elektrohouse bomb + original live element (be free) cappella... really a train!!! 90s version a classic & evergreen organ house sound. great!!

this record has been in the making for some time. originally, hott 22 created a track called, &#147,i feel love&#148,. bonnie bailey heard the song, loved the track, and wanted to write lyrics to it. bonnie and eric kupper went into the studio with hott 22&#146,s track to record and produce bonnie&#146,s lyrics for it. after we heard bonnie&#146,s performance, we were extremely excited, and asked the legendary eric kupper to create a new remix. shortly after, we asked thomas gold to work his magic on the track and he created some real gems to an already solid package. finally, the alter ego live element had to get in on the project as well, and produced two more floorfillers.

kindisch is now eighteen releases old, and its mission - to uncover new talent, and to provide a platform for producers to evolve and experiment - is more passionate than ever. this time, the reins are handed to sascha braemer, aka hirtenfellner, and philip bader, who build on the promise of their releases on sup dub and get physical. >mamba drums< is, as its name suggests, a percussive, latin-tinged affair, with sweeping builds and heavy drops, layer upon layer of locomotive percussion and a skeletal four-note vamp designed to whip the listener into a state of frenzy (and sure to be successful in this aim!). a male vocal sample pervades on >thrill<, this time more gruff, more laconic, and edited so that the words become another percussive element rather than carriers of meaning. deep whirlpools of delay open up below a surface drift of jazz-tinged chords, from a minimalist sound palette bader and braemer paint a vastly evocative, effusive picture that will transport the listener, or dancefloor, to a strange and addictive place. >put your arms around me<, implores the soul-infused vocal sample on b >around<, over a yawning vista of synth chords bridged with sibiliant snares and subtle but earth-moving edits that leave no doubt as to braemer and baders mastery of dancefloor dynamics.

over the past few years john tejada has been splitting his time working with long time collaborator arian leviste and more recent collaborator justin maxwell. why not combine all 3? palette all-stars is just that. a collaboration between the 3 main palette artists, each (tejada, leviste and maxwell) playing a particular role in each song. from the ep opener, >after school special< you get a sense of the trio each working on a particular element. tejada’s driving drums, maxwell’s modular synth work, and leviste’s bassline elements sculpt a driving track with a classic feel. >the pilot< features leviste’s smooth melodic synth work while maxwell processes through the modular and tejada privides the dubby beats. the ep finisher >downtown hotel< features a mad maxwell modular freakout and driving 808 s

after his last years hit fruchtalarm/city rush boogie dub on farside records, its time for another herb lf solo joint. sunliner takes you on a trip and has a deep melancholic mood with a perfect catchy piano hook. when the reese bassline drops, sunliner takes one step further and creates big dancefloor pressure. expect a very special moment when you play out this wonderful piece of music in the club. dub is the word in down to the sound?. some cheeba cheeba business, a smokers riddim, delayed stabs and a killer bassline is enough for this dubby deep tune. ring the alarm! one of the most groovin 4 to the floor trax that has seen the light recently is named shake!. with a few dubby dancehall snippets and a slightly metallic sounding synth, herb lf adds live percussions from tim friesenhagen. even the sound of a lighter (!!) is used as a rhythmic element. get your groove on this perfect percussive atmospheric tool. shake it, baby!

the >modern electronic elements series< concept was driven by thoughts of traxx to unleash different styles of sound to the element of jakbeat. part 1 features saturn v, beau wanzer and d marc cantu...

bombstrikes delivers the goods yet again! with the heavy hitting consistency the label is now renowned for, aussie wonder kid nick thayer makes a welcome return for the 12th release in the series. fresh from a string of hugely successful releases and remixes this aa sided ep showcases nicks dancefloor pedigree to the fullest. first up on the a side is the absolute banger get up. re engineering a well known hip hop riff with tough beats and analogue bass this has been leaving a trail of devastation each time it gets an airing, straight to the point and taking no prisoners, this track is huge! over on the flip thizz shake pushes forward the forward thinking and unique element of nicks sound. an electrofied disco beats work out of the highest order, it builds around the catchiest of hooks to create an ass shaking dancefloor monster.

straight up bent techno. a fierce jacking groove with an outrageous sub-bass element and awesome live drumming. this one has echoes of funky industrial stuff like nitzer ebb but is 100% of the moment.

two legends in music like john acquaviva and ramon zenker, routiniers in their work and skills as producers, they manage to tame agressive basslines and get the heart of the track from start to the end. rhythm is the main element and the grooving bassline stays ahead of any other element focused on one intention only: tearing apart floors worldwide

following the escape from chaos here comes second release of the brand new phonic platform bauns. after the success of the debut ep, the duo composed by gianni pellecchia and maurizio vitiello release bauns 02. the deep woody beats, the massive bass line and the filtered voice of banus, on the long side, make it an optimal element given by gianni pellecchia, for increasing the pressure

although only 23 years of age englishmen cris barratt is already considered one of the hottest new producers on the block. what makes him really special is his unique blend of sounds, which is not melodic house, minimal, tribal, rock electro or techno, but at the same time it is all of that. two tracks on this ep are the best reflection of chris >get maximal< approach: he builds the story slowly, upgrades the basic theme bit by bit, then weaves in another leading theme and spices the blend with unexpected small but effective element from the late 90s. the result of this blending is very rich, warm sound, perfect for the parties somewhere at the seaside. re-release

streetwise was one of the seminal dance labels of the eighties, responsible, with its subsidiary imprint partytime, for several important and influential examples of the dance genre. several of its releases were indicative of the directions that both dance and r&b would take over the next few years. the signing of vocal group new edition and their resulting hit candy girl is generally acknowledged as the beginning of the boy band phenomenon, and the labels last hit, music is the answer, was also a key element in the rise of house music. the label lasted for only a few years before falling victim to its own success and the related success of its owners, especially revered producer and remixer, arthur baker. here is a selection of streetwises greatest 12inch mixes, gathered from the archives during streetwise reign over the dance market presented on this vinyl.

on the flip comes a remix by non other than meat katie and here he drafts in the engineering skills of the rogue element to tweak the mix. a bold and stomping remix takes this track into a new dimension and expands the influence of these intergalactic space pimps.

once again high quality minimal techno.. played by shinedoe, xpansul, mark henning. phutura creates sophisticated drum arrangements, swingin melodies and glitchy effects with a massive, and sometimes improvised, use of the percussivo ritmico element wich can be found also in his live sets. a unique sound brought by a guy who is active on several labels like adagio, minisketch, globox and 4line

finest deep floating detroit influenced melodic house two tracker by chris perez project

played by karotte , reynold... style of eye has delivered one of the most creative dirtybird releases to date. this is a totally fresh sound coming straight out of stockholm, sweden. >the big kazoo< is an epic tech-funk masterpiece that achieves ultimate ass shaking glory while also innovating at the same time. yes, in the past dirtybird has brought you animals, fart noises, bass blips, and strange breakdowns and now a kazoo??? well, all we have to say is that the big kazoo goes a step beyond any gimmicks and brings you the real shit. the beat is solid driving funk just how we like it and the track is destined to be a dirtybird classic. the b-side >hide< aint no slouch either. it mixes in really well with anything you got with congos or any kind of latin shuffle. but hide also has a really hot techno element that makes it very versatile. the beat is rock solid with a strong syncopated pattern and cool synth dropouts that will even bring the socialites and wallflowers to life. check it

the original track is a fusion between bips, bleeps, aggresive drums and acid basslines – among all this is an absolutely beautiful synth theme that is the key element of the track. yousef delivers the remix thats a raw thing using the syntherzeiser riff from the original and giving it an even more raw sound.

circle music means continuous movement but not going round in circles, pure power yet brilliant soundscapes, various styles but one entire element - the perfect groove. circle is best suited for dance floor use as well as for driving around in the city or listening comfort somewhere on the outskirts of your hometown. the label consistently followed his vision of a musical community, a familiar environment which covers a great range of styles and approaches of producing and performing electronic music. the world of circle compilation is different to usual v.a. compilations you heard so far. its much more than a musical statement of a label giving a definition of its sound. its a personal statement of all featured artists because all tracks are presented exclusively on this compilation. incl audiofly, chaim, robert babicz, lopazz & …, v. kanzyani, alex flatner , bryan zentz , stryke & santos

incl fantastic groovin harada remix !! swiss american dj emerson has already built a considerable following within the dance community thanks to his dj sets and releases for esteemed labels like substatic, micro.fon, kiddaz.fm or klickhaus. on this 12inch he provides 9 minutes of mesmerising dance music somewhere between house and techno. in on remix duties is harada. he delievers rhythmically diverse modern techno funk that has this certain outstanding element of personality. he is working the original elements in a very creative and playfull way and things really get outta control when the chord hook drops in out of nowhere. wiggling hi tech funk with slick production skills and a great beat!

limited backstock !!! brand new series on minus with exclusive tracks by plastikman, dubfire, jpls, heartthrob, gaiser and marc houle. of the continuing themes found throughout the music released on minus, one constant exploration is the relationship between sound and silence. within the stripped down but dimensional outcome there exists a polarity that is neither controlled nor accidental, where life imitates art in between the notes. the act of finding inspiration from a sonic molecule or the inaudible space around that element is the nature of expansion & contraction. limited edition double pack vinyl format features a specially embossed sleeve and black/white vinyl, reflecting the duality of the expansion & contraction concept.

the original mix here is a silky relentless journey through euphoric house music, with the main element being the building chordy riff. on the flip mat zo the track down a more frantic & tuffer route, one for the heavies!!

techy edged breakz business here. includes huge rogue element remix on the flip.

supported by brett johnson, woody, dj t, chris duckenfield and laurent garnier !! >the last shooter< uses mind bending funk to tell the story of three people ending an epic day/night in a blaze of jagermeister glory. the most descriptive element of this tracky adventure would be the misguided, off kilter synth twists that give the listener the illusion of drunkenness and vertigo. backed with a spine of latin percussion and tweaked low rez hi hats this a side packs a punch that can be only compared to >the last shooter< of the night.funk flows on when you flip it to side b. fongtom rides along with a thick walking bass line that weaves grinds with some of ferreyras signature percussion. a playful melody serves as the memory game hook that wont fade away even after a post joint meltdown or a night of mtv top 40 abuse

to celebrate the 50th release on functional here comes the massive 2 tracker feat spoon wizard and 5th suite. spoon wizards shoe monkey gets a remix treatment by tom real vs the rogue element, who deliver an electro flavoured monster of a track. flip for the funky will white remix of 5th suites una funker

chunky electro tech with mrx x vocals on top

1989 rave classic getting a 2007 breaks treatment from the fat crew the rogue element and merka on remix duties here

wheres my dongle is a masterpiece of depth and tones. electronic rhythms keep the backbone of this track strong while the synths and pad cascade over top. minimal yet maximum impact, this track is a smooth drive along beachy coastlines, and a super-tool for moving waistlines. palms studio mastery brings every element perfectly in balance with the arrangement working well on both dancefloors and living rooms alike. its no wonder loco dice used this as the opening track on their newest >time warp< mix compilation....disc 1, track 1

"this ep combines different periods of time. oldschool and newschool elements is the key element of a modern production, no matter if its nasa or both legends acquaviva & lützenkirchen to deliver a masterpiece that is functional in every possible way. sirens and oldschool stabs on one side, combined with electronic fierceness and drumming madness. the b-side "hurt me" is more agressive, sawtooth sounds modulating through every spectrum of frequencies. at least one will get your ears bleeding or just the mind blowing if youre lucky enough to survive. cologne based producer pierce gives the >satellite< original a new face with his remix. long synth build ups, reduced drumming and massive compression focus on the basic needs and desires of a rocking dancefloor: to celebrate a break, a melody and to freak out when it starts at zero again"

after several side-projects as sid lerock and gringo grinder, pan/tone is now back with >dr. pyckle and mr. pryde<. >the tear jerker< is one of these elegiac anthems, building up more and more in a way you never want it to end. the flip resurrects the momories of the good old school of cologne - back then, when minimal was still pristine, and the groove as the fundamental element was still wirth something. as a bonus there s a remix by kimberly & clark, accentuating the track with some bleepy bliss, and loads of 808

klickhaus gains momentum with this trippy, late night minimal endeavor for their third release, produced by now m_nus artist, ambivalent. this is ambivalent s second ep, the first being on klickhaus successful sister label, clink recordings, titled >roomies< , and he again proves himself as a name to watch out for this year. ambivalent has a unique, rhythmically diverse and funky style that can be mixed in many different arenas and always has an element of personality to each piece, which makes it a unique experience in dj sets. on the remix side, camea takes the original to the next level by stripping down the rhythm and adding a peak time chromatic pattern to the bubbling lead tone provided by ambivalent. camea s unique style adds a great diversity to this ep. dj emerson is the techno gentleman of the berlin underground scene for quite a while now, on this 12inch he provides a stellar re-work somewhere between house and techno to palindrome

looking back to a great year, we find david k from the freak n chic posse being one of the most successful newcomers in 2006. freak n chic stands for a kicking mix of techno and acid sounds, which are blended with some house. dj friendly, very danceable but still demanding, with elements of deep house and minimal house…whereas >tender and sugar< seems straighter, darker and more minimal, and the fat but simple beat is the driving element, >mayann< comes along with strong reerences to >Âme< and its synth sounds remind of >rej< or productions of >pasta boys< from italy

>1911< on side-a comes with a fat hard beat is running and flowing synth-work is building up and up, effected disco flavor sub-bass twils as if heiko laux and james holden would be collaborated together, even minilogue sounds, massive tech-house. >pixy zap< on side-b,is more cool sense of attitude with really deep acid-bass and synth-pad is on, with element of dubby and sexy minimaltech house. second track >als< on side-b, sounds as with cut up style and feels as delicate sensibilities, mad underground flavor

the superhuman element of industrial gets a hardcore treatment by uk producer micron

ian fridays sound continues to develop from his obvious blaze influences, producing the song everything for yoruba singer erro with more emphasis on original latin sounds. the garage house element isnt ignored however, as the b side libation mix presents a less cluttered, deeper nine minute rendition of the tune

2 ultracool deep and minimal techy house tunes with proggy element!!

first remix vinyl release from mia (the berlin rock- and pop-band with apparat of bpitch ctrl fame, not to mix up with grime mc m.i.a. from uk / sri lanka or the ex-cologne, now berlin-based minimal dj and producer). with two very charming my my (playhouse) remixes on the a-side and two data mc remixes on the flip!!

if there is one overall trend to spot in the wide fields of electronic music over the last years, it is the reversion to emotion. in a time where tracks are becoming more and more anonymous tools, melodies, references to pop music and recognition are seen as a design element and not as a blemish. to be honest, this recurrence was desperately needed, because music was always at best when feelings and not the mathematic of clicks were at the centre of attention. soda inc. reached this point of intersection already with their debut album >full moon< one and a half years ago. with intense anthems such as flight su 118 babak shayan and jon silva have created the deepest and most pictorial vision dub related techhouse had to offer to our hearts and souls. a solid basis to build up for the early summer of 2006....
