its house but not as we know it! young david, aka dave young, chose his artist name as a reminder of what it said on his office door before he took some time out in the summer of 2006. swapping the office for what an estate agent might describe as a cosy basement studio in stockholm, he now sits around making beats all day the fuji ep is musical adventure. bridging the gap between soulful and minimal and blending crunchy mid-tempo party beats with intoxicating two-tone, jazz and dub flavours. equally at home on the dance floor, ipod or lounge stereo, the tracks have a sense of space and depth and, above all, a real musicality which comes not (only) from the pushing of a few buttons, but from a lifelong quest

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.

oftentimes the tracks which please you the most are the ones that capture the magic moment of the performance itself. demetrio giannice presents three such captured moments on er-001. two of the tracks feature friends of him who contribute their voice for the vocal parts. in addition a remix was produced by stefano m. and appears as a2 on this release

a deep mixture of raw funk, oldschool house, bass, more bass and some kind of a dubstep vibe... the title track pressin on goes straight on dirty bassline moves crossed by dedicated trumpet sounds while the second cluster funk got tricky clap programming and lives up to ones name. on the flip humongous and driftwood are not less funkier but both are with some kind of detroit house appeal and impressive minimal ruffness...

sounding like dj gregorys marching band heading through the back alleys of brazils favelas, >township funk< is the master work of one south african, mujava - real name elvis maswanganyi, a twenty something hailing from a pretorian township called attredgeville. dj mujavas formula on >township funk< is simple. its tough, dark, african dance music from the industrial city of pretoria. its perhaps the most infectious dance record youll hear this year, echoing the early warp sound of lfo or the forgemasters in an uncanny way, almost 20 years on, across continents. early props have come from erol alkan, hot chips joe goddard, sinden, diplo, modeselektor and trevor jackson
