this is the new ep on alex nut’s ho tep recordings. created by fresh london based producer maulin featuring canadian vocalist amenta, deeper than the sun is a club track steeped in history, mythology and the cosmos. at 140 bpm its roots lie somewhere between dubstep, house and broken beat. the two varied productions on the b side are a taste of sounds to come, touching on hip hop, broken beat, uk funky and even musique concrete the talented young upstart delivers an array of styles, stitched together using his own eccentric brand of needle and thread.

over the last couple of years, christopher rau has built a reputation as the finest ear canal masseuse in the contemporary house music scene, catching the attention of fellow hamburger dj koze who has recruited him for this new three-track ep. raus debut full-length asper clouds, released in the fall, was noted for straddling the line between >club< and >headphone< music, earning 4 out of 5 stars from resident advisor along the way, and now, with the how are you ep, he follows up to further explore his sonic approach: an assault of subtlety. >pervading animal< is built upon a solid foundation of familiar rhythm box elements, but like vines and moss, the sedating sounds of strings and keys envelop the empty spaces, showing christopher raus ability to combine the artificial and the organic into something transcendent. then, on the flip side, he lets his weirdness factor shine. at first, >c f r< sounds like by-the-numbers muppet new age, but graduates with distinction as the meowing synth squiggles saunter over the basketball beat. the ep denouements with >how are you today<, marked by a toasty chord progression thats playfully trying to compose itself as the track moves forward, turning science fiction into science fact. you want to believe

hard progressive drum attack, deep fazed out bass, some diva adds & a super hard core (could be ja rule or even tupac) vocal >mothe f**kin name< cut up in-between the frantic beat montage on the a side, while the b side lives up to the san fran thing with erotic funk chords laid deep down over sub sf bass rolls and super tight percussion arrangements.

sexy tropical dance nuyorican style blending house, funk, and latin elements with los amigos versatility is worth its weight in vinyl. this is a musical match that will be met with much hype & press.

after last years empowering >nuclear rawmance< longplayer, berlins savas pascalidis is back with his next 4 track ep on sweatshop. a tough, analog affair, full of straight up 909 drums, squelching synth lines and a warm rounded bass end. solid 4 tracker!

paul hughes and aruba teaming up for this latest offering from siesta music. >these days< is a lush late night groover, combining a rich bassline with a drifting vocal stab, tight beats, and dubby chords for some quality deep house. aruba adds a little old skool flavor to his >those drumz mix< via new analog synth lines and a new bassline, while the beats, now more of a tribal rhythm, still keep the floor crowds moving. the >those nights mix< will throw you all off, with the track slowed to a crawling skank with a deep bassline and recliner beats pitting wits with a slowed down take of the vocal.

after his debut album on stilleben komarken electronics drops his first vinyl release in fact on solar one music. deep and unique electro music feat. an exaltics remix! limited edition smokey clear vinyl!

joshua aka circulation, c++, or iz recorded some serious tracks in the mid 90s on seminal house labels prescription, balance, & blue cucaracha at the infamous red nail studio. here are remastered classics & unreleased takes on tracks like emotions unknown, worry no more, aspirations & more!

with no rest for the wicked, label exclusive artist ladzinski is back for 2011 with a solo ep jammed pack full of up front house tracks.just like that is boes most dance floor focused ep in a while with jacking 808 drum rhythms, soaring pads and plenty of hands in the air moments. all night is a true groove-a-thon that hardly lets the beat go during its nine-minute length. its a more conventional sound pushing towards tech house territory but the classic 808 drums and bouncy syncopated chords give it a fresh breath of chicago deepness..

sosuntwintig brings us 2 thrilling tracks which make for spring flourishing in the club. on the a side, we say welcome to 3 new artists from italy. paride saraceni feat. jules and jazper show us their way of passing winter time with >smooth dawn<. a track, bursting with magical energy and with its chords calling for spring which wont let us stand still. the b side belongs to oliver schories, who knows how to pick em with >composer<. this tune is catching every synapse of our brains to pave the way for olivers springtime messenger. beat by beat, >composer< unites itself to a whole piece to sound the bell for the natures awakening and spring.

for is 3rd release on musique risquee, after the well acclaimed dirty lipreading single and is first full lenght foe destroyer, stephen beaupre is back with a really solid record. thats all there is to say. gl’amour as the distinctive signature of stephen beaupré, his subtle use of vocals, strings colored with warm echos layered on a big and chunky drum beat. you can easilly acknowledge is natural sens of storytelling unfold in a brillant way. on the flipside, when you have it, would be an excellent way to summarise stephen electrifying live sets: funky, melodic hypnotic and sexy. we are very proud of this last one, hope you enjoy as much as we do.

after the huge >afrik< 12 inch that came out in 2006, todhchai brings their 2nd release with 3 stunning tracks. the title track meshes the vibe of detroit with favelas. >herobeat (lil gs beat)< is a funky number while >you search for a means< is a late night cut. urs santiago salazar also adds a remix!

rome, italy native fabio bacchini has been holding it down for underground house music with his label mind travel, but takes a step to the left to give us a hot little ep on transport. the roman disco ep is exactly what it says on the box: no fancy gimmicks here, this release is comprised of four solid disco house jams. the first tune >weekender< is a nice phase guitar loop jam with signature disco pulsating strings amidst the happy snapping snare beats and soul train vocal snips. next is my favorite cut, >money talks<, a straight up disco rhodes organ jam a la the crusaders. add some saxophone in there for points with ladies, and you have yourself a jam. on the flip we have >in the mood< is takes the mood a bit deeper with a nice n spacey groove amidst a rhythm heavy beat. throw some synth strings and keys riffs in there for good measure and there you have it... disco house. sometimes stays within the same formula but brings a more pulsating sound that pushes the music. the tune is still deep and groovy as the ep winds down...

played at panorama bar !! already played by hans nieswandt, vera, serafin, matthias kaden... drei farben house bringt den soul in geschmeidigen oberflaechen und sanft leuchtenden toenen zu uns. crew neck ist in der tat eine wunderbar runde house-affaere, die mit dezenten discound soul-referenzen glaenzt und ruhig, aber kraftvoll ihre kreise zieht. und auch sartorial realism schneidert ein herrlich funky beat-kostuem und schmueckt es mit klassischen house- chords und traumhaften frauen-vocals aus. zwei deepe house-bomben und eine gelungene fortsetzung des tenderpark musikverständnisses.

anyone who advertises on their facebook site that they create music for dogs while working under the name dachshund must have a sense of humor. and indeed, it seems the swiss dj, producer and label boss doesnt think much of sterile production and is prepared to use his sence of passion and fun to create rhythms of every kind in his work. perhaps this is a legacy of dashshunds musical roots: in the 90s he played in various reggae bands, which eventually took him to jamaica. from the sunny islands he brought back a dub influence which can still be heard in his music today. he has already proven, with his highgrade debut on the >group of connected heads compilation, his feeling for up-beat, bouncy rhythms. nothing has changed with his first solo release on highgrade. groovy, original and funky, it booms from the speakers. that the first track is called >stand firm<, must be due to the humor of dachshund: the beats immediately encourage you to do the exact opposite… shake your booty!

new talent on no more hits, turbo jazz drops his first single.
a1 - go broadway: house feel on this edit, cool vocals and heavy use on the cowbell sounds. top track!
b1: boogie 2 the top - latin boogie disco, nice bass line with a new york harlem disco style. cool percussion.
b2: jungle struttin - raw afro beat style to this track, gorgeous horns. one for east london afro-heads!

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

if it is about contemporary house music, there is no way of avoiding the northern djs & producers. first and foremost with roberto rodriguez aka manolo, who has shaped his personal funk infected old-school vibe over the last years and helped the house revive without forgetting from where it came from. his future beat investigators strictly followed the detroit heritage and his acid kings membership gave us lust for the roland tb 303 again. the bermuda project came back to cosmic again and had more than an impact on the nu disco styles. it is his pertinent mix of soulful, funky & functional dancefloor and his his effective productions who convinced the tastemakers worldwide and prepared his ground for top notch releases on labels like compost, 2020vision, freerange or delusions of grandeur and remixes for acts like yoko ono, tigerstripes, jay shepheard, the timewriter, marmion, crazy p, bellringers or vanessa daou. now the time has come for his own platform called serenades, featuring the manolesque ep - for those who like it deep, down & funky!

bassarani in your face again! heres part two of the ongoing roma meets running back saga. conveniently appearing in a white inner sleeve (slip it into the retro-futuristic telescopic picture sleeve that you hopefully already have),the final frontier/pigna/nature captain steers his ship into a safe harbour. three tracks of hardcore space music and magic carpet melodies: >white dwarf< appears as the final link between frankfurt trance and tribal house, >black dwarfi&#770, is its beat-heavy brother (for dj use only!) and finally we come full circle with i&#768,colliding stars pt. 2<.science aint no fiction.

esgs iconic >dance< is available as a 7 inch single along with the foot stomping >tiny sticks<. featuring on the current xbox kinect advert, dance is the epitome of esgs beat building funk. a funky bass line and clappy drums ensure those feet keep moving. >tiny sticks<, similar in beat and get-moving-attitude, is from the same 1983 lp >come away with esg<.

big with julien chaptal, luciano, gel abril, mihai popoviciu, keinemusik crew, nekes, affkt, meat, anthony collins, luca doobie, mirco violi, varoslav,.. dj sneak-fans, check this one out! the connection between off and italy has always been strong, now another promising act from the italian capital rome will be added to the off roster. >mad & son< is a massive floorburner, possibly one of the most danceable tracks ever released on off. a huge classic italo-disco-sample cut up, looped and accompanied by self-played keys, a massive groove and killer bassline. off-regular dj w!ld delivers one of his classical linear and toolish mixes, taking back the use of the discoloop and focusing more on the groove. >phased< works quite similar to >mad & son<, also working with a discoloop but adding raw spoken-wordvocs. dancefloor-destruction guaranteed. >whats going on< is probably the most sneak-ish tracks of the bunch, an intense filtered loop, jacking beat, techhousy groove and driving vocals.

the first new single from small world disco edits label in 2011 comes from the don of italy: ltj. dope.
a: you know - heavy on the bass with a light hihat pattern and mellow kick/snare creates the backing for delayed/reverberated vocals and synth stabs. a down beat boogie feel on this one and its infectious!
b: all the way - easygoing rhythms in this track create a great groove. the vocal is the principal theme giving lead to the bass line and percussive elements. laid back funk style!

the a-side >schizo pogo< is a catchy poptastic punk single from your loveable london trashlettes girls on top - a dance record with a twist. pogo, twist, bop, or bounce on your bed, groove to the 60s garage harmonica solo and sing along with the chorus.
the b-side >she didnt show< with its fuzzy guitar intro, throbs threateningly with a satisfaction-type beat.

sheffield trio standard fare had a great 2010 that saw the release of debut album >the noyelle beat< festival appearances at latitude, indietracks, in the city and swn and two us tours, including playing at sxsw. it was on their us travels that they met pop soul mates one happy island.
hailing from boston, massachusetts, one happy island also had a stellar 2010, releasing their own eponymous debut album, an lp filled with a sense of wonder, fun and everything from autumnal, orchestral ruminations to farfisa-fired garage-pop.
2011 kicks off for both bands with a joint release. its a simple proposition: each covers one track from their counterparts album and each introduces a new original, all packaged as a 4 track ep, with glorious indiepop results!
comes with code for digital download.

recorded in the winter/spring of 2009, first released in june 2009. at the time i called it my failed kompakt techno experiment, i started out with that minimal beat in mind but ended with something different. the title was the first thing i started with after watching some miss helen mirror on tv at the period, still love the title really. songs became longer and i discovered the delay while recording. this second record was the first one were i started settling on an sound of my own. some weeks after recording the screaming girls on the last track during their sunday afternoon youth group activity a baby fetus was found on their field with the mother being one of the girls

so what is the sound of progressive disco? well it captures the insane rhythm and the unforgiving driving beat that is instantly found in the funk of the early seventies but real disco music also had a formula that would guarantee the hottest djs success if played at the right time. that formula was a blend of up-tempo rhythm sections laden with south american percussion mixed with soulful vocals and orchestral strings - a symphony of sex, lust and love. we change the formula and focus on the rock, electronic and dub elements - slower, sleazy and fun.

for the second and far overdue release on his little leaf imprint matt moroder delivers a superlative psychedelic reimagination of shuggie otis which sits far beyond the realm of your blog standard ableton edit. matt scliced the original into little pieces put it new together and added some drums and percussion with the respect this soul classic deserves. this rework is hypnotizing makes you wish to never end. on the flip hamburgs hardest working entertainer erobique used the same kind of gentleness to rework some cello and voice by one of the greates disco visionaries and songwriters that left us much to early. by creating a dirty mpc beat and blend it with vocals and cello erobique creates his own vision of the late arthur russell far from the average four too the floor mediocrity. this vinyl only release is strictly limited to 300 copies and shines even more with a splendid artwork that shows love and care

2nd part with full of prime time madness... incl pan-pot remix

for more than 5 years cargo edition has been standing for the deeper house productions of moon harbour/cargo edition’s roster of artists. so far acts like ekkohaus, michael melchner and markus schatz have been setting the tone. now this platform is offered to artists who haven’t yet appeared on the label. the warehouse release is the first of a series of various artists eps. we invited artists like steven cock from dresden, ralph sliwinski as well as the italian acts mass prod & marco daquino and minimono to contribute tracks to warehouse vol.1. the sound of the first ep is all about consistent house music that does not need any cheap rave tricks. old school house music is quoted with skills and style and translated to the modern dance floor. warehouse vol.1 is the perfect start into the fifth year of cargo edition. luciano (cadenza): cargo edition is a great label, probably one of the most quality dance music.. full support!

droning cinematic ambient techno from the do no resist the beat/milton bradley camp - tip!

after an incredible whirlwind of a year lee foss returns to the culprit fore with >your turn girl<. foss is the labels most consistent and prolific artist with this ep being his fourth release, solo or as part of hot natured. it is safe to say, lee has become one of the pillars around which culprit is being built. the >your turn girl ep< carries foss signature hallmarks: melodic funk-infused basslines, vocal hooks that grab you from the off and a smooth electronic edge. lees incredibly emotive sound makes him stand out even in the current glut of soulful dance music washing over the global scene. your turn girl – the title track is an epitome of foss >ominous funk< style, playful yet with a distinctly sultry edge. yet another memorable r n b female vocal bit sits on top of some of lees own best synth work. and driven by a killer analogue bassline. >pyramid scheme< –bristles with the disco-inspired propulsive energy. an acid-flecked low end, that comes to the fore mid-way through, a swirling guitar sample, the crisply sharp drums add up to the releases, perhaps, most hands-in-the air moment. >cabin party< continues the themes lee explored with his mega successful hot creations ep. foss eschews the standard house beat yet again, opting for his most organic drums yet, stunningly conceived textures and melodies, with another pair of vocal hooks to die for. finally >warriors< has been a staple of many a culprit dj set for the best part of 2010. lees trademark combination of a terrific electronic bassline, and an unabashedly emotional sample work make for a deep house stand-out tinged with a sense of nostalgia.

its not every day that we receive demos from new artists that totally rock our world, but when its happens its a joy and a reminder of why we are still doing this. and so tears of joy rolled onto the speakers when we played policys demos. when contacted policy he told us he is from nyc, is a part time movie director and only started making music recently. out of the bunch of tracks we received >specialty party< and >light over fort lee< form his debut ep. both tracks challenge the beat spectrum once again and definitely speak his cinematic mind. expect more music from policy on rush hour later this year. he surely is our contender for best newcomer of 2011.

we are happy to announce the first release from ultrastretch featuring nottingham-born and now london- based artist matthew burton. a – who loves yous short, sharp hats and robotesque samples build slowly and aloofly to what becomes a somehow familiar and nostalgically tinted style. it is in fact, sampled from the 1987s >the running man< soundtrack, originally composed by harold faltermeyer and picked and plucked apart by matthew burton to make it into his own. the epic synth riff melted with its strong kick and tightly sprung sound corners are eerie and atmospheric. >who loves you< resonates with all of us with its clear 80s feel thats been manipulated into a new and exciting piece of underground music from matthew burton. b – small winner takes us on another journey all together. a deceivingly kicky intro steers us into a combination of swooning orchestral brass and delicate jazzy piano keys who share their space with a crunchy and inviting rhythmic stride. its cleverly concocted instrumental experimentation lends its listeners ear towards the smooth ambience while the hypnotic beat keeps us subconsciously moving. dramatic pauses, a syncopated yet soothing orchestral fusion build >small winner< into an original and intriguing musical piece.

big with: d julz, ray okpara, brothers vibe, mihai popoviciu, gel abril, mendo, phil weeks, chris wood, anthony collins, jacuzzi boys, affkt, meat

originating from argentina, savor music is a multi-cultural project that aims at bringing out our favorite flavors in sound. the leading forces behind the project are cape and jorge savoretti, both natives of the city of rosario. savor music kicks off underlining the madrilenian connection, so dear to us. it is represented here by our great friend papol of the esperanza crew. developing his sound release after release, he allowed us to pick through his best tracks in order to inaugurate our 12 inch vinyl series. on the a side, first up is >before tea<, a strong driving bomb with a crossover appeal. on a2, ekkohaus delivers a surprising broken beat take of >dub 2010<.

nice price deal !!! bad cop bad cop is the moniker of two of germanys most inventive and unique producers, lopazz (zz badcop) & alex cortex (xx badcop). the boys deliver two peak time dancefloor techno tracks – a pretaste for their upcoming album on pomelo (to be released in 2011).

new collaboration with bobby&kleins giom and la derek dunbar. title track is peak time disco funk all out jam that has a perfect vocal hook and serious funk. gioms remix takes a deep turn adding synth stabs and pads. dereks remix is driving force with beat cuts. last cut is downtempo gem.

once again, berlin based resopal label head mri sticks to his guns and brings you strangely funky tunes. weakend-polka titled ep is filled with three tracks, all spiked with steady beats, funk, deep melodic chords and an overall glamour house feel. this is not only very well produced house / funk music, its also a journey through deepness and a modern take on the soulful side of the electronic music which exceeds the genre by far with a rich, colourful palette of surprising, individual sounds, butter-smooth chords, some of the most raunchiest bassline that you will ever hear outside of drum n bass, cleverly constructed beat patterns that yet never fail to jack and swing and an understanding of dub that goes far beyond the random use of echo and effects. this is electric intergalactic soul/funk/house/techno. its noir, its dirty, its dangerous and risqu. on vinyl, as we like our little record-shop around the corner.

the latest release on motormouth brings together 4 artists from all over the planet. forsaken is dead from the usa brings us his incredible track everything gained. tripped from belgium with his amazing track acid stacy, stocker from the netherlands appears on this ep too. label owner al twisted alongside lost origin have an amazing track on this ep called pulsating beat. with track already licensed to the forthcoming partyraiser cd this ep is receiving accolades from some great djs & artists alike!
