italojohnson starts the new year punctual with his third stroke. this record will have something suitable on it for everyone out there. without batting an eyelid, its crosseyed and selfconfident, looking at three different floors at the same time: the a-side focuses on the chicago house floor. it begins with a recognizable toolish sound. slowely but surely the theme of the track opens – the track works through a breakdown, a classic drum roll sneaks in and jack grabs again. the b1 provides an unusual turn on the third italojohnson production. theres no space for compromises here. the track stomps on the steam engine warehouse floor. a flowing acid hookline is settled in the industrial drumline and gives the track its meaning. the second track on the flipside completes the whole package and is destined for the late night hours. thats everything there is to say about this track – the strength and emotion can only be experienced by listening first hand. love, peace and happiness

after several hot tunes on worthy’s anabatic imprint, birminghams tom flynn joins the ranks of the dirtybird crew. i ve battle tested the a-side of this record all around the world. >catch that bird< is a rare mix of deep rooted funk whilst also sounding like a caribbean jungle track pitched down to 126. my favorite!
i d play this ep just on the strength of the a-side but i feel like a lot of attention will also be given to the b-side called >rhode island<. this is a classic piece of deep house with all the melodic elements of a dirtybird jam.
tom sent me at least 7 tracks before i signed these so the guy is certainly prolific and i expect to hear quite a bit more from this up and comer this year.
enjoy,
claude vonstroke

summer killer tune! big with tiefschwarz, shir khan, matt walsh, turmspringer. as a record label klasse recordings acknowledge and develop the ideas between racing, electronic music and the man vs machine relationship. the concept of artist and founder luca lozano and agent daniel zedelmair, klasse holds up the classic spoked wheel design of a racing bike as a symbol of strength and unity which contrasts with the disposable doses of instantaneous gratification found on electronic music blogs and in so many discotheques that they have encountered on their travels. located within, but not constricted by, the genres of modern house and techno, klasse aims to evoke the depth and narrative of themes such as travel, movement and repetition, fusing the rich sounds of traditional wind and string instruments with the accuracy of synthesisers and drum machines.

the sound of the new wave band bauhaus seems to make its way into several releases nowadays. &#8232,,we are not talking about samples but the dark romantic feeling of this period.&#8232,,moonbeams track >distance< carries this haunted and ghostly feeling of the 80ies, the chill of cold steel and rooms with little light from candles.&#8232,,sure it would not be a moonbeam track if there were not the spine-tingling melodies which have always been the strength of their music!

big with: lauhaus, boris werner, nick curly, federico molinari, kabale und liebe, nekes, johnny d, sascha dive, 2000&one, markus fix, dj wild, chriss carrier, ray okpara,.. ama recordings is ray okparas label out of mannheim, germany. amaefule, rays middle name in fact, literally means >your name will never get lost< and it symbolizes the strength of identity we create through music. ama is also derived from the latin meaning of love and the philosophy of the label is born out of the affection held for conceiving and sharing quality electronic music. there are no rules about what ama recordings will sound like, but it comes from the heart, so expect true house values to be maintained at all times with a natural tip towards the deep and dubby.

much awaited return to lost trax! scsi-av has been a well respected electro and techno label since it was born in september 2008. almost 12 years later and after a short break scsi is back with a classy detroit techno record which has been sat in the vaults for quite some time waiting patiently to be released. as the second part of the lost trax series. expect deep bass, booming 808 kicks and carl craig-esque sounding strings. the production on both sides of this record is amazing showing the digital generation that analogue kit still sounds supreme. the lost trax series is a project for producers who have inspired the label to record something special and release anonymously as we dont believe its necessary to sell music on the strength of a specific artists reputation.
