everyone knows this feeling, when a hook line of a track wont let you go. one says it is a tune wedgie, even if it sounds a bit weird in the clubbing scene. but never you mind, you just start singing out of the blue. olene kadar just hit the bulls eye with >yipyippyip<. this track impresses with an extraordinary addicting ragga vocal and puts on top his breathtaking freaky beat wrapping. one wonders where to put this into a greater content: musical seriousness or simply the fun factor. but in the end people always go crazy, when olene kadar rocks one of the countless parties in holland. the artist playing right after him faces a difficult time. that is what dave aju might have had in mind. his remix heads for another direction. very relaxed and reduced to the bare essentials he slows down the tempo to garnish this fantastic groove with the vocals and e-piano chords. so cool. on the flip you will find the dashing rave monster >neal deepersma<, that brings olene kadars former releases on mos ferry back to mind. on the label website you will get a free bonus download called >looking for an<.

more exciting deep house cuts on the new wt records done by will speculator. this time its another new name (well.. sort off.. hunee already did release on feel music as hunch, and is slowly building a reputation as dj) this 12 vinyl release fits well between genres, crossing deep house, disco, and detroit techno. the title track even has some quite jazzy keys. but the killer is probably rare silk which is simply magical. quality release just like the 1st wt records! check!

another big release from youandme with heavy open air rotation by: sven väth, villalobos, wighnomy brothers, super flu, mark broom, karotte. the mysterious guys are searching for the next step between techno and house music

first seconds into already 27th release on recognition, and we immediately know that there is serious business going on here. stunningly complex drum track goes like clockwork, only setting the scene for what is to come. forget the craft of drum programming - we are talking another dimension here. >modern dance< is like being suddenly dropped into suspended animation: having that peculiar feeling that the world around is accelerating to the verge of a seizure - and at the same time this very world feels so slow... unnamable, transparent sheets of sound almost give no room to breathe - but ones breath is taken away by the magnificent landscape it s about to appear. shapes shift under half-closed eyelids, and while the low, peaceful yet sad chant comes in, one can feel it like an omnipresent breath, burning hot and marble cold at the same time. this mysterious and heart-wrenching voice comes courtesy of one yula, and were gonna surealy hear much more from her in the future. and it seems that the beats literally start to boil... rhythms shuffle and swing, and taken the lack of floating melodies abundant in jaceks earlier output this track is even more outstanding from theproducers former work - probably acting as a bridge towards new visions, appearing in the confidence of the new, almost-perfect studio.

trademark is the collaboration of tony reeves and tundra records labelmate loki. formed in 2000, the trademark project blends electronic studio craft with the live influence of their years playing jazz. trademarks output ranges from chillout through breakbeat to deep house and even drum and bass, but always with the fusion of deep jazzy chords, rolling beats and searing synths that define their style.
ia2 showcases all kinds of broken beats and trademark here provide another 3 varied tracks, with great support all round. new frontiers is a funky, upbeat broken dancey track and has had loads of support from promos. great progression through the track and some great riffs and percussion. outworld has been compared to early earth stuff from bukem and cafe del mar stuff, deep broken beats and sunny pads, great arrangement. lovely deep bass and textures. south central is a more straight up broken track, probably the most chilled of the bunch live live sounding bass and a nice deep vibe.

data drop another massive bomb for the summer sharam (one half of deep dish) teams up with kid cudi whose smash hit from last year day n night just wont go away (with so many bootleg mixes still being made and spread all over the blog sites) this time they go for a country & western vibe with a sample from patsy clines strange big support for this already from pete tong who started his show with it and has since made it his essential new tune remixes come from sharam himself who takes it deep and dubby on his homage to the white isle with his ecstasy of ibiza mix. andy van, kam denny aka australias vandalism provide a superb slammin house mix in there usual no nonsense style!! an essential summer anthem!!

another very nice 4 track 12 inch again by jason letkiewicz aka steve summers aka rhythm based lovers, various new school disco tracks with electronic basslines and unmistakable eighties touch. tip!

another slammin slice of techno from mr steve mac

after a little silence from rotterdams sound architecture label they are on a roll again! after releasing music by joris voorn, shawn rudiman, rejected (when they were still rather unknown) they bring up some new talented producers! the sound architecture guys are hosting some of the best techno events in the netherlands.. and meet a lot of young producers.. and here is another example that with good a&r even young bedroom producers can release some hot club tracks! file this under the hottest new school house tracks on the market!

after the smash that was shatnereffekt one, handsette recordings return, bringing a host of diverse and super talented artists from around the world together on one massive ep and another essential array of electronic music.
kicking off the ep is kritical audios >spandex<, a tune that comes slow on the heels of the swedish duos 2006 braindance monster >krupp<. the swedish duo have come with an itchy slice of razor sharp electrofunk with a burbling acid bassline thats currently being caned by surgeon and rob hall (who says, i ve been playing the kritical audio track a lot. good stuff )... this is a big tune!
next up we have miles tilmanns >spirex< which starts with a wonky off beat that gives way to some wacked-out rubbery bassline action and a lead line that could have come from the keyboard hands of harold faltemeyer or parliaments bernie worrell.
following that is c. mantles >that other eden<. fearsome and delicate, morose and savage, >that other eden< is a serious piece of dancefloor heft with reese basslines burbling under a clattering beat before dropping away into a slightly terrifying double-drop breakdown.
unity gain temples >sahmo< rounds out the ep with a glistening, truly beautiful piece of work. the heavy kicks of the intro are met by a rush of lush chords and deft touches of melody, driving the track into a space that is pure audio luxury and reminiscent of brothomstates, arovane and tippers more contemplative moments.

dfa complete the set of black meteoric star tracks onto vinyl with >dreamcatcher/dawn< on the third and final 12 from the album. gavin russom has created a unique tribute to the early days of synth and drum machine experimentation with this project, inhabiting the spirits of everyone from giorgio moroder to ron hardy with hypnotically brilliant effects. >dreamcatcher< is another undiluted jam at 120bpm, sounding like a lo-fi moroder tripout with gorgeous arpeggiations swirling in a pool of shallow resonant tape hiss. >dawn< on the flip is the slowest track on the album, a sub 100bpm psyched electro-soul groove with cracking handclaps and an uncompromisingly lo-fi attitude. dead cool.

following the huge chart-hit >das licht< by rockstroh here another smashing house/ big room house hit on kickfresh. sos by ian carey is a show-stopping summer tune and comes withthomas gold, the good guys, noll & kl iwer remixes!

ultraphat dark and dirty detroit smash with another stunning joris voorn remix.. ltd backstock

after a run of collectible releases on their own and one 12inch for esteemed deep explorer label the guys from valencias cornuta imprint return with another strong double header of summery deephouse that easily gets ahead of the flood of moody, two chord releases of minimalists turned to house yet never gets noodly or looses the floor outta sight. . >good try dub< sports a nice jacking beat, superb warm rhodes and string chords. the beat on the flip pounds a bit harder yet keeps the classic soulful vibe

sometimes a track is so hot it just has to come back around again. about ten years ago brett johnson and dave barker (stucco homes) wrote some unbelievably catching house tunes, one of them being temptation and lies. so it just seemed right to give this track yet another life. deadbeat and mike shannon dive deep into a stripped down techno groover, removing the constant use of the vocals and creating a rolling techno dub version. some seriously deep bass in the production that works the subs in all the right places. ernesto ferreyra and guillaume coutu dumont aka chic miniature give you a playful melodic version on the flip. full use of the original chord progressions, combined with the guys signature marimba/latin percussion leaving you with a lush, warm summer hit. then brett dives into the track again giving you the oohs and ahhs mix. a ten minutes work out with bjs patented groove focused on the vocal harmonies in the original. the result is a warped, spaced out, long player that is sure to twist a few heads. mental just about sums it up. of course we had to include the original masterpiece for those who didnt find it the first time round. a favorite of everyone involved on the remix project i think youll agree that the temptation and lies cynosure mixes do the original some justice.

own baby from french dj and producer master h who decieded a few month back to launch his own imprint on the back of his success releases on labels such as soma, f.com! or vega records... so here are for the first time on vinyl all 3 first releases, at the same time as the very new 4th one. francois dubois, is the alter ego of lars sandberg, also known as funk d void. a massive dj favourite and another member of the soma family. the duo are a match made in heaven. combining their techno talents, the pair have crafted wonderful productions. h delivers the sounds of old school detroit and chicago, woven together by the fantastic vocal of yuanist woods. this will find fans from the soulful and techno scenes and everyone between!

with 2 solid eps already under their belt on new yorks satamile records, middle men (sum1 & sum1else) bring their 3rd long awaited ep to battle trax. containing 4 cuts of the purest space funk in their own distinct style, middle men are pushing the elektrotek sound into new areas as yet unexplored by human beings. this year will also see the release of another middle men track space quest which is due for release in july on germanys dominance electricity label.

support by luciano, sven väth & villalobos !! quick & dirty is a dirty track indeed. a fat bassline accompanied by some irresistible electro-ish groove provide the fierce backbone for this mighty dancefloor bomb! twisted synth sounds and other schizophrenics, supply for the craziness we all love. benin is another killer track with a minimal pace, a housey rhythm and spooky atmospherics, topped up by killer female vocals. ltd repress

computor rockers return after the worldwide hit that was computor interface (brk49) with another showcase of exactly how electro should be put together. all too often retro can mean dull and uninspired (or just lame plagiarism), but anyone who has been following ed dmxs career over the last several years will know that really isnt the way he plays the game. instead he understands the value of songs and melody... the beats are fresh, without a doubt, but it will usually be the tune or the lyrics that will hook you into a dmx production, the elements that turn just another electro track into something unique and valuable. and so it proves here, from the classic computor shock (which helpfully comes in vocal and instrumental versions for those who just cant do the voice thing) to the melodic and hooky electro-funk of how we used to rock and distributed processing. stunning as always!

the new bob sinclar single is yet another great collaboration... love you no more is a daring blend of je ne taime plus by manu chao and the voice of shabba mr. loverman ranks! manu chao accepted being sampled and shabba ranks came (on time for once!) to the studio that bob had rented at the end of 2008. suffice to say, two miracles had come together!

that cheeky chap diamond geezer is back with another banging jungle single on his very own self titled label. featuring the vocals of dancehall veteran spragga ben, sound good is a frantic amen led jungle roller that incorperates old skool edits and some classic soundclash effects and bleeps for good measure making this a dirty little dancefloor number indeed!

another legendary techno producers deliver the goods on be as one. this time is swedens own samuel l session with 2 singles straight out of his upcoming first ever artist album, soon to be released on the israeli label. big bad drum is exactly what the title says, a drums driven track with a bassline reminiscent of saundersons e-dancer techno. already tested by a few lucky ones, this tune is having a monster impact on the dancefloors with its funky snares and distinctive over voice . chimes still carries an old school vibe, taking a classical and deeper approach. sls sound at its best, reminds us why the don has been here for the last 15 years. a solid preview of what to expect from samuels album, classical groovy techno which reminds us how real techno is suposed to sounds like. forthcoming on be as one in october.

as house continues to take its stronghold over techno, even in berlin the epicentre of all things minimal, we gear up for a summer of ‘actual’ dancing over regimented arm pumping and head nodding. having impressed laurent garnier, m.a.n.dy, solumun, karotte, tg (tim green) and ellen alien last year with his collaboration with enzo elia, martin patiño caught the attention of true to form with his fresh, playful approach to house and techno and hypnotic percussive elements .born in italy, but with south american roots and now living in berlin, you can hear vibrant audio recollections seeping onto every groove. citing dali’s surrealist paintings as another creative reference (a nod to which is contained in the track title ‘the tempation’), you could say martin draws on the atypical compared to your average electronic producer.the result is the blissful simplicity of ‘sundays’ on the a side, percussive, sundrenched and a perfect am terrace lifter.on the flip side is peak time tech house groover ‘the temptation’ and a hypnotic, dub heavy remix of black dahlia (the original of which will appear on the digital only release) produced with long term cohort enzo elia. true to form, now in its 5th year, showcases tracks and remixes from such respected producers as pan pot, gavin herlihy, jesse rose, samim, pascal foes, mikael weil, justin maxwell, claude von stroke, subjekt, tom ellis, leif and more

another big release for tim xavier on ltd400! tim keeps up the momentum with his next installation, featuring two floor-burning conceptual tunes. on the a side, no day like thursday is a colorful and mixable track with tims signature dark percussion, complete with a layer of manipulated, warped synthesizer pitches on top. the result resembles something like an out-of-thisworld harp, and the combination of these ideas result in a timeless, psychedelic minimal sound that makes this release unique and irresistible. the flip side is yellow corvette a nice, moody mixer with eerie vocals, chuggy percussion, and a big room bass-line

fooled only by qualities insomuch as they indicate not only the direction of my movements, but also their magnitude, i can only assume that momentum as it pertains to my own thoughts, is linear, but often the concepts floating around in my head tell me there is an expiration date on reason, as the clarity of vision relating to thought is fading into a remarkable ineptitude. however, as luck will have it, i have shifted into another sign, leading me to believe that thought can sometimes flip. into what you ask? i can only answer succinctly once i have established that we are together and that i am not alone. i have conserved all that i am allowed brick by brick. now it‚ is your turn.
