contains original mix, rob mello no ears dub / undeniably flavor of the moment radio slave deliver their latest bass heavy single on their much anticipated label. also featuring a bleep infested remix from rob mello, this is a strong package.

notic nastic is, once more, another newcomer act on tonkind, who has to be watched with highly attention. its predicated individual sound made it become a hype on myspace within a month. so other labels, producers and popular djs already are asking to license and to remix several tracks, although it isn’t even out yet. we can t give to much infos about the backround and identity of the charachter behind this act, due to the fact that there is an aim, to stay anonym. that gives us more space to talk about the music itself and esspecialy about this debut release on tonkind

let s face it... there hasnt been much great electronica on warp lately. what them going all indiefied with maximo park and then more singer songwriter weirdness with the likes of grizzly bear and gravenhurst, its nice to have a decent electronica album out on the label.

after a short production break, daniela stickroth re enters with stories from the attic e.p.the musical scene. ghost in the attic ranges in minimal fields with thick bassline and much groove. dan berkson & james what continue the path of their last pokerflat release and create a deep, techhouse groover with much atmosphere. in the original mix,chest in the attic is a deep, melodious track with much heartfeeling, which gains in the remix of pablo akaros ( karmarouge) newer and rougher elements, and which also forms a nice antipole to the original mix

heavily supported by m.an.d.y., dj t, david duriez, konrad black, tom clark, sasse!! update 2.0 of woodys already successfull >whatever< series. minimal not minimal is the name of the game here! open produced and very fresh and full sounding the two to long and intensely reduced tracks are immediately touching, thrilling and are much thicker cut than your ordinary berlin click track. you could almost call it >maximal< , hehe .again side a is a kicking stylish electronic build up theme – reduction with just the right punch(the one that is missing so often these days,hehe)and great compressed bliss that simply rocks unstoppable once you get hooked into this unique below the line killer groove. 8 minutes that just fly by like a >hot rod< and youre immediately tempted to stay >tuned< , hand the keys over to wood and let him do the driving for the next 10 hours or so! >dakini< is more dark and mystical in appeal with a sturdy bassline and wicked nervous infrastructure making the whole gem as another two double a side 12inch. next stop woody

mesak s 3rd twelve inch on dexter s own klakson records. one half of electro duo mr velcro fastener comes back with his solo project mesak. and brings probably his best release to date.. at least it is his most danceable release ever. our favorite is the jacking let get sum bang which rocks every club for sure!! the other tracks are more electrofied techno-ish tracks which reminds us of some classic carl craig work including the outstanding pak track. like all klakson releases this is another hot one. very much what we like!

massive new 12inch from zedd, already plays from pete tong and gilles peterson, and was described by gilles peterson as mizzel brothers go to chicago - which pretty much sums it up, 12inch includes joey negro s medusa and rodox mixes, plus reprise, accapella, and songapella

well this little gem has been floating about since late last summer and thankfully will be getting a proper 12 release very soon. balearic disco heaven much along the lines of reverso 68, it comes across like indeep and chris rea in the blender together with it’s driving guitar licks, the unhurried walkin bassline and the soft kalimba touches. bound for big things this late summer and hopefully golden autumn too. theres the added bonus of a mudd remix of the b side track slow burning. i promise you folks its been worth the wait

with this release on drumpoet he presents kadena,a track which already acclaimed much attention by the likes of âme and dixon and creates a fresh symbiosis between disco and detroit. an emotional and bootyshaking tune which can take you higher and make you want to move it. on secret playground he goes into the more dubby side of this ep and provides a deep minimal excursion with a warm and almost cinematic feel. lexx is a musiclover so his spectrum is huge, but all we can say is, that this man knows what he does and there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it

archipels brand new sublabel brings you its second weirded out slab of wax with uli kunkels singing with rod. uli kunkel,however,is not one single artist. it is comprised of lee curtiss, maayan nidam (miss fitz) and shaun reeves.the record starts off with leethophobia which is an hypnotic breaks like piece of dark insanity laced drughouse very much inspired by the perlonian sounds which have been coming from germany as of late.drugpigs is fat, wobbly, and just as hypnotising as leethophobia and commands that the freaks come out to dance from the shadows of strange early morning corridoors.the flip takes a more direct approach and is fiercely lead by arrival which is an hypnotic take on dancefloor drive influenced tracks and is laced with clever edits and lysergic percussion.sing like rod is a totally weirded out and just as lysergic early morning rhythmic smoothy. kalimari is set to release quality weirdness and here it stands tall from the rest.

a man that needs no real introduction gives us the first in a series of offerings. luke solomons newest production company bad brains and black flags brings us two new hot tracks. the title track phantoms with its bass driven punk edge and the b side end of days with its more tweaky white noise kinda feeling. another example of how punks and electronics can coincide harmoniously. whatever your pleasure we re sure you ll dig this one just as much as we do

legendary series to be continued with 2 acts from the uk. first >cool cuts< releases have been much in demand, and peeps are still trying to get hold of them - if you are lucky! a side is a brilliant track by the b-siderz - in the vein of some more proper house sounding stuff with nice sublime guitars struggling their way thru 2 big breaks complemented with an pushing b line and sophisticated acid sounds in between. other side is our beloved ma saski from manchester with an already massive electro tinged primetime stomper. the guys from the >tribal gathering< camp play around with some b lines emphasising those little but most effectual breaks through a wicked male poetry. mind you, that tune goes on and on without getting lame - dj linus always starts his sets with that tune - big!

modernist ep #1 shows just why woolford is currently being hailed as the best producer in his genre right now from the likes of pete tong, francois kevorkian, mr c et al. woolfords current >erotic discourse< is being hailed as one of those tracks that has captured the imagination of both house and techno djs alike. .and so onto modernist #1, and whilst woolford nods to the past on title track 313, the arrangement and structure of the infectious cut is as modern as electronic dance gets right now. on part one, warm and lush pads herald an epic 11 minute production that twists and turns, all the while keeping the solid groove flowing. part two on the flip presents a rawer and heavier take, the driving cowbell rhythm, snaking synth line and sub bass will cause much devastation

>compulsive behaviour< reflects linus addiction to whisky and those bad habits, which derive out of that. it s a peak time b-line stomper with very true lyrics by mr. l himself added by nicely made soundscapes and emphasising synths. >hypnotizm< is exactly what the title implies: 6 minutes of a minimal synth groove, interrupted by awesome little breaks, where the hypnotism gets a good dose of dopeness - again with lyrics by the man him self! the borderline ep reflects a weekend of a dj and those mondays/tuesdays afterwards with that question: >where, how much and why?<
