more deep and moody grooves from mike grants label. greg stadford is behind the monkier black art who’s previous production credits have included mixes of blake baxters seminal deep n da groove ep. nice and jazzy the favourite cut is just groovin a wicked blend of st germain keys and funky organ riffs, over some skippy detroit drums. dig this is a mellow late night journey of psychedelic horns and guitar licks with dreamy pianos floating over the top. ‘sweet’ is more on a broken jazz tip with live drums and a cute vocal snip that dubs itself over the rhodes bed. the production quality of this ep is stunning. very strong stuff from m & g!

who is maetrik and just how does he get his beats and bleeps to sound so good? we cant be the only ones asking this question as recently eric comes on a string of big hits for audiomatique and mothership. erics been banging out stormers of late, but with dumb-unit its different. here we do our typical du magic and present something a little bit slankier, a wee bit dirtier, and a tad more tripped out. something that dancers and freaks can equally get their head around, something that will blast through the sound systems straight through the summer! and so without further ado we suggest you dig in ... and get ready ...

second part of dj breaks series by franck roger with 6 great tracks!

clone classic cuts continues to dig in the crates to bring back forgotten or obscure records from the past! this is 3 tracks by da posse (produced by hula... one of the outthere brothers... and with maurice joshua, k fingers & martell). strings & its my life are chicagos take on detroit techno... a rare release that sounds like a early derrick may record (think the dance) but maybe slightly more straight forward (as one might expect from chicago). a rare piece in house and techno history since this is one of the rare examples of a record that doesnt show the clear difference between chicago and detroit in the late 80s. this record most likely got produced within 1 year after rhythm = rhythms legendary nude photo and strings of life releases (both 87 and this came out in 88). as extra bonus track we have the groove. a phat bass driven chicago acid track that still rocks it. another fine piece of powerful dance music history back in the spot light!

nice price deal !!! tracks by clinton lee aka dj clee. something to work with!

more stuff from detroit finds it way to the world through amsterdams delsin records. so far they have released 2 ep on shakes frictional label. lately strand was very successful with their live performance at the demf 2001 together with anthony shake shakir. message 2 is filled with their soulful and funky techno. the tracks end up somewhere between shakes freestyle beats and cims soft electronic excursions. strings and gentle beats are all around, also going more uptempo and danceable. funky, deep soul techno tracks in good delsin tradition!

do you know gummihz? the gummihz that hails from greece but was raised on a steady diet of chicago and new york house? the gummihz that sings? the gummihz that incorporates disco, electro, jazz, and chanson into his productions? well if you don t, now you will. the >sleepless nights< double 12 inch is gummihz first release on mobilee since >under the sun< and is a radical departure from anything we ve ever heard from gummihz ù or even mobilee ù before. gummihz multidimensional production abilities allow him to dig deep into his roots and influences on the one hand while simultaneously exploring new, uncharted territory on the other. alternatingly retro and futuristic, this two-part ep series is a portrait of gummihz as an artist from a variety of angles, one we ve only seen fragments of up until now. one might view this ep as an attempt on gummihz behalf to explore his musical roots in a contemporary context, with the end result being a strikingly varied yet cohesive statement of gummihz musical and artistic leanings. on the one hand, gummihz delves into his past, with tracks such as >sunshine dub< and >bang< fusing the samples, cut-offs, and filtered loops of french house with an almost balearic, hypnotic twist. on the flip-side, we also get a snapshot of gummihz at his most somber ù>love call<, featuring vocals from gummihz himself, has a jackin house beat but bears no resemblance to the cheery sounds of chicago house on which our grecian friend was raised. instead, he favors a cloudy, almost cold-blooded vibe, with chilling lyrics manipulated to the point of near-indecipherability (bringing to mind the brilliant vocal work of the knife and fever ray) with a final product that is nonetheless aptly suited for the dance floor.

microscope contents is the first single to be taken from kelpes forthcoming third album for dc recordings cambio weschel (which is released on october 12th 2009). it begins with the eponymous title track - an infectious, bass driven, electro melody which pulses over a constantly evolving percussive groove...

nice price deal !!! played by greg wilson, jesse rose... the house mannequin ep 1 is the first release of the brand new label >house mannequin< from berlin. the record consists of 3 very dj friendly disco styled pieces.!! >can you dig it ?< is a modern chicago >re-edit< styled track. a delightful long edited guitar and bass part is followed by a nice twirling strings section with shining chorus. >space police< is a extended >re-edit< of a spacy japanese 80s disco track with lots of additional effects, rhythms and percussion. >good caves< is a freaky, mad acid track with lots of rythmic tension. the whole record is definitely made by and for party people... a record for the hot dancefloor with a positive vibe...!

disco fizz is the second album by italian disco group azoto. many say that azoto pioneered the whole italo sound, with incredibly ahead of their time productions going right back too 1977. disco fizz may contain one of the most covered disco tracks of all time san salvador, which has reared its head under countless of remixes and pop cover versions, however if you dig a little deeper this album is packed full of incredible and timeless italo disco. anytime or place literally jumps out the speakers to get you moving, while >exalt exalt< showcases their take on the darker side of electronic disco.

legendary soul-disco don demis roussos comes back with a killer new album after 20 years under the radar... and it s a 1000% winner for sure, as the man raise to the chalenge in style. blues and soul tainted, with a voice to die for.... the same artist who brought you at the time legendary tracks from >l.o.v.e. got a hold on me<, to >i dig you<, or >midnight is the time<, all played from david mancuso s loft to larry levan s paradise garage... limited collector vinyl pressing.

supporty by secret cinema, gregor tresher, tim green (dirtybird), joseph capriati, brendon moeller, alex bau. incase takes off in the new year with an amazing release from german based martin woerner with his track zit, an electroid techmonster. weird breaks, rolling grooves. the flipside comes with a remix from italian specialist joseph capriati, so in case you don t like the original which seems to be unlikely however, you surely will dig the remix from joseph with it s detailed structure and floor-ability. again a must have on incase recordings!

reissue of album from 1975/a satisfying dramatics collection that includes their revised, campy version of me and mrs. jones, which had remained a staple of their live shows. astrology was riding high in the mid 70s, and (i m going by) the stars in your eyes provided fodder for astrological discussions as the guys poo poohed the differences in personality traits associated with the signs. a good balance of fast and slow tunes helps make this album a winner. good things dont come easy and never let you go are two frantic dancers that chug along faster than a speeding locomotive, while trying to get over losing you succeeds in treating losing your lover in a positive, uplifting way. the guys must have been loaded with material to keep this one off a 45. likewise for the aching, painful i cried all the way home, one of tony hesters best compositions, and easily the best ballad on the album.

second release for the april77 record label... our sound is fast and tough. we dig the clash, buzzcocks, the jam and all that mid 70s early punk stuff. the list could go on and on (lenny pops, singer of the red hearts.). the red hearts are a household name in the los angeles indie rock and punk scene. they are lead by lenny pops, who formed the band in 2004 after having played in the brian jonestown massacre. the guys have shared the stage with cult icons such as silver apples, the avengers, as well as playing with many of todays top bands including black lips and lords of altamont.

question “whatcha gonna do?”, answer, “buy this, love it, marry it, play it and destroy dancefloors.” right now oliver $ is one of the most exciting dj’s / producers coming out of berlin. his unique take on house has gained mass support and regular play from the likes of luciano, ricardo vilalobos, claude vonstroke and winston churchill. “whatcha gonna do?” draws elements from the hyphy sound in that upon hearing the track the listener is forced to dance in an overstated, fast paced, and ridiculous manner which makes for a good party especially when it’s a club full of ravers going mental. oliver’s numerous productions are setting dancefloors alight across the globe and having recently remixed artists such as swag, justin martin, jacob london and filthy dukes on labels as diverse as polydor, greco roman and rekids, oliver $ is certainly the man to watch right now. whether you’re a dj, house head, lord, lady, tramp or ghost your going to dig this release, so now you know whatcha gonna and gotta do.

back with another of their much loved eps - the knee deep guys dig deep to satisfy your dancefloors yet again courtesy of the french love ep. kicking off with >all night< a charged up bullet with hooky vocal loop and infectious synthy lick, >vibin< is exactly that - a stabby low end bassline powers on alongside the sweet warming melody whilst the whole groove builds and builds leading to the chant-fuelled breakdown. rounding things off, >sweet love< has that epic crowd pleasing vibe you will have come to expect from the kd guys… again its simplicity at its best using a hooky riff throughout, and allowing the groove to shine. a power-packed ep in 3 different flavours

next brilliant techhouse shaker by berkson & what after the great >the dig< on pokerflat 70 !! supported by anja schneider, matthias tanzmann, dj t., james flavour and karotte

killer re edit from section 79, based on the 80s electro classics from savage progress original 12inch version... from a simple but clever re edit of the original, the tracks dig further and further into a more acid based loop that would turn upside down any floor for real... so many influences here from ron hardy to armando, to new york noise scene.... ultra limited edition. one for the headz.

re release of the 1990 classic by legendary us rockers!!

dark hittin primetime techno

chunky bumpin and - you guessed it - jackin chicago styled house traxx by yakuza label boss soydan.

red d (ferris park, morse) comes with his new label, we play house...repping the kind of house music we at rh dig. this first 12inch is from new producer san soda - whos understated sound mixed with the labels subtle presentation make this double debut a rather special record to behold. silly limited!! get it quick

brothers vibe hits with the rawness on this unreleased mix of cuero para mi gente (altered vibe mix). also, you ll dig the rugged tribal beats on into the night and calle cinco beats!

split ep of dark metallic hard-fun from the human shield mixing funnel. manasyt leaves his manners at home and takes the a side by force with two solid cuts of pure industrial horror: wrist sewing leaves little to the imagination whilst his bloc 08 set opener vibro speeds up the synth suspense until your loins are sore and your mind is truly spent. overworked and underpaid north wales bedroom musician cestrian (bunker/monox) softens the blow just a bit on the reverse with his hearse giving you the perfect funeral, driving off into the near distance with dead waves and metallic shards of fluctuating hiss. the stately anti funk of rizzla teeth brings us to a conclusion with gun metal grey sneers of contempt and harrowing neg vibe downer skree. suit up and dig in!

2x 15mins of ultra hypno house!! big with ricardo villalobos, prins thomas, laurent garnier,… unarguably, the best way to prepare umu is inside a hole in the ground. go find a nice flat land, preferably your mother in laws lawn, gather friends, ask them to bring wine. youll need a well amplified turntable playing mania #11 on a loop. cut the grass using a flat shovel, four or six square pieces of 50 cms, lifting the grass with its roots and some soil, move aside. now you have a clean area of about 1.5 mts square, dig in it to a depth of about 50 cms (come on, it will make you sweat profusely but you need this shallow grave to feel the magik of easter islands umu!).

bbe records have teamed up with dj/producer mr thing, to dig deep into his extensive collection to compile a series of albums of rare and sought after breaks. this series reflects brilliantly on his dedication to digging for those untouched and unrivalled samples and breaks as you hear him use in his dj sets. as a dj, mr thing never fails to engage the crowd with his winning combination of hip hop and funk breaks spiced up with his legendary mixing and scratching skills. the first installment in the five part strange breaks & things series contains superb songs, some you ve probably never heard of, some which may make you go: i recognize this sample! because it was once used as the backdrop for a classic hip hop track. if you liked the legendary strange games compilation series on bbe compiled by the likes of kenny dope & dj spinna, you ll love strange breaks & things.

as we found this fabolous track from bruce lenkei, we couldnt believe that this was not an original from the cosmic era, instead it is a new production. this track immediately came on to us very strong with its magic sounds and the great atmosphere, which describes the title best. after we included the moonlightzombiedance into our mix for the d.i.r.t.y soundsystem from paris, we got crazy feedback from around the globe and so we decided to put it on wax. on the remix duties we have the hot talented michoacan, who earned himself a very good reputation with 12inches on labels like bear enterainment, grayhound recordings, tiny sticks and lektroluv under his belt. most recently he also got remixed by the almighty dj harvey and the glimmers. he speeded the tempo of the original way up and transformes it into a crazy krautrock stepper in the vain of goblin. it makes the people dance like zombies on speed - we experienced :). if you dig the zombiezombie stuff you will love this one.

mike parker and donato dozzy teamed up for the first time for this unprecedented and eccentric release called excavations ep. starting off with hiss, originally found in 2001, mike parker used his vintage tools to dig the surface of a designated area, reaching sub-harmonic and high frequency symphonies. the excavation continued as mike joined donato dozzy at the ruins of pompeii, with the discovery of fullonica di stephanus. the findings were mysterious

big with: the black dog, rob da bank, keith downey, tomaz, mary anne hobbs, shelley parke and mark eg!! dncns debut ep for dust science shows just how far hes come in the last five years. its a resoundingly strong package with every track a potential a-side. main cut >dust to dust< is a throbbing dubby techno stomper, opening with sulphuric bong noises that give way to oodles of fat wobble. the track is slowly subsumed in layers of fizzing shards of echo. anyone taken with villalobos recent experiments really must check this out

versatile are delighted with this new addition to their catalogue. a release made in belgium by detroit techno prodigy: fabrice lig. as you will notice on this new ep, the first white guys to have signed a record on kevin saundersons legendary label kms, remains faithful to the sound of motor city. a light and esoteric melody sets the tone of >x-slaves who changed the world<. the tight clap and kick drum leave room for the modulating bass. a voice similar to martin luther kings, repeats names of cities in which slavery prevailed, whilst pads stimulate the mental trip. the x slave is taken by the dancefloor, changing the world as he dances to the beat. “funk la termite” is elastic funk. binary rhythms, off-beat chords which keep the groove balanced whilst the hi-hats, like little insects, dig away at the beat, building it and deconstructing it as the sounds evolve. >the round of funky bugs< continues in the vein of creepy crawlies. here, the synths are more upfront, their acidic layering create a mixture of harmonic loops which will set all hells lose. the melodies and use of pads stay anchored in the detroit tradition, but this production fits just as well with all the current electro releases worthy of any good dancefloor

the time has come for the world to experience the power of the golem. each release will be around a specific theme. for the first one, the golem dig 3 gems from overseas sumak is an epic space funk track from the middle east recorded in the 70s! and never pressed on a 12 inch vinyl! klout is an edit of a reggae tune from the other side of the world high infectious groove! and pyramide is a disco/balearic arabian song from late 70s.

in late august we have a fresh and exciting new release from stockholm based dj/producer mikael jonasson. the title track >twenty-se7en< is a cool happy and trippy reduced techno-tune that makes you wanna move your feet, while >dig deeper< on b1 is a dark tune with a nice bass-chord. >chlorophyll< perfectly rounds off this great ep with its dark dancefloor ability. earlier support comes from tom clark and james flavour

big with: ian pooley, dj deep, hernan cattaneo and nic fianciulli !! its the sound of summer 2007 and its hot on the heels of our widely travelled fifth release, we are proud to present ork006: the walkabout ep, three tracks of beautifully produced deep electronics with acidic touches,brilliant percusive grooves and infectious hooks from fastrising dutch duo, nick hogendoorn and eelke kleijn. ork joint chiefs-of-staff, mark o sullivan(dk7) and fish go deep, have been road testing all three tracks to great response recently: we think youll dig them too.... walkabout: haunting chords a gripping groove surrounded by an acid bass hook and a suggestive vocal hook

nottinghams deep house dons inland knights turn the jack factor up to 11 with a decidedly housier take on the original mix. fans of the jackin house sound and jocks such as derrick carter and dj sneak will dig these remixes. inland knights have carved out their own sound over the years, with tracks on their own drop music label as well as for west coast labels like tango, amenti and doubledown. their remix of time is now stays true to their roots, with a crunchy drum groove, well rounded bass and warm stabs n strings.

the 20th release on frankie records comes with original stuffs from frankie on the 1st record and eclectic hot remixes from mike shannon (cynosure, wagon repair), paco osuna (plus 8, mindshake), massi dl (frankie, leftroom, safari) and frankie himself.

hot hit remixes by d.i.m. ,tomas barfod & surkin if you don t understand chromeo it s obvious you are a racist. only racists and deaf people are immune to the montreal duo s funky funk. but because everyone at turbo can both hear... and believes in racial harmony and equality for all. we dig chromeo.... and are proud, nay humbled, to >drop< their first single off the desperately anticipated second album: fancy footwork. what makes this >footwork< so fancy you ask? racist scum... step the fuck off and open your heart to the finest distillation of minneapolis groove since mazarati. the chromeo boys are back in the o-sept to heal the fractured soul of dance music. teenage lovers, 20 something blogpoders, 30 something burn-out ex-raver >graphic designers< and 40 something afro-americans can all finally party under one roof... and that roof has a name, and that roof is on fire, and the only ones who can put out that funk-fire also happen to be the guys the roof is named after: chromeo - going to be huge !!!

big ultraphat mathew jonson like burner !!

the track bandits series continues with legendary us house music producers diggin through the crates and adding new life, to lost forgotten disco/funk tracks, from the 1970s and 1980s us underground. the tbs this time dig that lil bit deeper to provide two more disco classics, cut up, extended and re arranged in an old skool re edit style especially for the dancefloor. first up we have the genius that is curtis mayfield with what is my woman for, taken from the 1979 album heartbeat on rso records us. the track gets the track bandits treatment turning it into a cosmic disco/boogie gem, whilst the flip sees lenny williams with please dont tempt me originally released on 12 in 1977 on abc records us. the track also appears on the album choosing you released in the same year on abc. this again gets the old skool edit treatment with the dancefloor in mind, making this another essential release by the track bandits
