perverse, sexy, groovy and let you dance for sure, after the 8bit release the new veitengruber ep is the next must have!

a fresh new collaboration with some top notch house tracks on this split release. agnes probably needs no introduction after his recent release on plak and running his own sthmllaudio, and he delivers all quality. big revelation on this 12 is jonny white with his tikkun olam... already a office favorite here at clone... we keep playing this over and over... somehow reminds of old deeper house tracks by mr fingers (athmosphere and basslines) but with modern productions skills. killer track and killer split release with some forward thinking house music thats embracing the future, without forgetting the past! recommended!

the souvenir family grows this fall with two newcomers, two new remixes and four new essential tracks. please welcome warmly the global vibes of cj jeff, m-in and the remixes of kreon and sante on souvenir021. on the a-side, souvenir celebrates the talented greek electronic scene. c.j. jeff aka nikos safiris gradually built his sound through releases on his own label rythmetic or modern love. he signs a remarkable entry on souvenir with the a-side >got 2 b<. wave your arms! take a breath! a tribe of incredible bongos players is surrounding you, when the vocals of an androgyny shaman start compelling you to a never-ending foot-stomping dance. you are right, where you want to be. damn, it s >got 2 b< a hit. kreon has been raising a fair share of interest lately with appearances on cecille numbers, resopal or robsoul. he signed a dub remix and a perfect spell to push to the party to the early sun shines of the day. back to germany on the b-side! m-in aka marcus ferdinand from frankfurt has spread his talents of producer with releases for off or get digital, and early supports from josh wink, johnny d, thomas schumacher or dj t. again we are talking about deep sensations, haunting vocals and afro rhythms. the tiefschwarz brothers have hammered >capetown river boating< on the road this summer. now its your turn to send a blessing from south africa to your crowd. studio partner of ali and basti, philip sante maier has barely released >dambalaa< last month, that he is already back in production. nobody will complain. his trademark, a clearly percussive approach and a dizzying groove particularly fitted with >capetown river boating<. 2 - 2, we gladly go overtime!

new ep from detroit techno and graphics legend alan oldham.
following up the more experimental >johnny gambit 01: the prodigal son< graphic novel/soundtrack (pure18lp), alan d. oldham a.k.a. dj t-1000 gets back to basics with the >blaster ep<, phase two of the pure sonik records restart.
>blaster< kicks off the proceedings. a dirty, tracky, and bitcrushed statement of intent, >blaster< is a 130 bpm love letter to all the hard techno fans in germany and spain who have kept the faith and supported dj t-1000s international dates all these years, and the definitive statement that pure sonik records is back!
on the b-side, oldham goes electro with >i rock shit everyday<, a dark, dirty, detroit electro-groove inspired by one of his all-time favorite detroit electro acts, ultradyne. the ep closer, the lo-fi >machines<, is the sound of your laptop, tv, and coffee maker conspiring against you in dial-up modem code. what happens when your microwave starts thinking it can cook better than you? you better watch out...

we are pleased to deliver the latest single from the lovely lisa shaw! already receiving massive support from dj spen, johnny fiasco, inland knights, richard earnshaw, jask, raul campos (kcrw), julius papp, dj mfr and many more.... taken from her highly appraised recent album free, like i want to fuses quality and soulful electronic ingredients together along with lisas unmistakably lush and smokey style. on remix duty is dutchican soul with 2 stellar reinterpretations. the vocal rub combines subtle tech elements with jittering synth stabs and a striking electronic bassline. the classic vocal remix leans more towards an early naked music style with warm pads and lush chord changes for a more classic house feel. fred everything takes things in a deeper and more stripped down direction including dreamy pads and a filtering techy b-line resulting in a laid back dubby atmosphere with lisa s seductive vocals sitting right in the pocket

with a slew of slammin releases on all the happy fun times underground house labels, melbournes d-t3ch now comes correct with a crackin new release on the flapjack attack called the >scholars with dollars ep<. to kick things off, d-t3ch gives us a very tasty piano jam called >dusk til dawn< that pretty much rocks around the clock. also includes remixes from scrubfish & laurence alongside house phenom johnny fiasco. snls mix is a solid bassline bumper with plenty of cuts n bruises just like we do in this camp. johnnys remix is a shake n bake, plenty of bass krush groove to move ya to the egg beater bump….whatever that means. shak n bake baby! shake n bake!!!

dass tracks aus dem hause reboot in der vergangenen cocoon-saison eine herausragende rolle spielten, dürfte niemandem verborgen geblieben sein, schließlich konnte sich der 30jährige frankfurter produzent frank heinrich bereits zusammen mit johnny d. im rahmen des >disco invaders<-cocoon ibiza summer mix in einer art live-jam-session austoben. umso verblüffender, dass erst jetzt nach releases auf below und cadenza endlich die erste reboot-12 inch auf cocoon erscheint. >ronson< macht mit seinem tribalistischen einschlag schnell klar, wohin die reise geht, mit alarmsirenen und druckluftausstoß zeigt sich heinrich hier so kompromisslos energetisch wie nie und bleibt dabei maximal pumpend, aber immer sexy. etwas abwartender strukturiert, gönnt das polyrhythmisch perkussive >mirasierra< dann den erschöpften tänzerinnen und tänzern eine kleine atempause, auch wenn die kräftig dub-verzierte bassline dabei ganz schön diskoide glücksmomente setzt. für die gefühlten tropischen momente im jetzigen frühjahr sind jedenfalls beide tracks bestens geeignet!!

pumpin tribal house / electro / techhouse reworks

1989 classic!! dedicated to the memory of hillel slovak - the founding member/guitarist of the red hot chili peppers!!

incl markus fix rmx !! big with johnny d, gregor tresher, raresh and many others !! gedankensport introduces martin reisinger aka matiss with his very first release. the in passau born artist played piano and drums in his early and later youth and explored electronic music in the 90ies, when the attention on the movement exploded. furthermore he operated on the housesyndicate platform and organized events throughout germany and its native languaged neighbours for what he engaged more than 300 class-a-artists like hawtin, väth and other. now he comes around on gedankensport with two fresh tracks and one remix by markus fix from frankfurt!.

like each year, cocoon sets standards with a compilation of the hottest tracks in contemporary techno, haveing generated smash hits from the likes of gehts noch? or mückenschwarm with the last issues. in 2009, sven väth were able to combine established artists such as timo maas or radio slave alongside new talents from the likes of kabuto & koji and chymera. a special collection of finest music in 2009

vlad caia, a young romanian living in norway, with his wide range of influences are worn as true colours in his music. his demo was thrust into our hands by one of his fine colleagues, and now finally we can bring his debut platter for horizontal. as you will hear its a bright start for vlad at horizontal, he brings us two charming pieces of upfront house, chango with its cuban overtones and incessant groove calling all at the party. johnny frisco on the other hand has its own low deep funk flavor. both tracks nevertheless are proving to be a favourite of chefs such as tobi neumann, locodice, onur ozer, raresh, josh wink and of course dinky & matthew styles. we hope you enjoy as much as we do this summers release for horizontal!

massive summerhit from nick curly played by: sven väth, dubfire, matthias tanzmann, karotte, audiofly, nick fanciulli ... currently, the releases and remixes of young mannheim-born nick curly are integral parts of the scene. with his imprints cécille and 8bit records he discovered both sis and johnny d., and thus shaped the electronic music scene decisively. nick is also well-known on an international level and tours the world under the motto >series<, which is at the same time the collective name for his vinyls. sven väth is a fan of the high-flyer and invites him not only to make an ep on cocoon recordings but also for a performance at the cocoon night at super club amnesia in ibiza. the two exclusive tracks on pujante / new town stranger are showing once again nicks diversity and his intuition for groove and soul. the a side >pujante< is a strongly forward-banging piece of techno that extends over the dancefloor like a shock wave. totally different: the b side >new town stranger<. for more than 12 minutes, the listener is enchanted by this masterpiece that attracts him with its perfect groove and a fascinating voice, just like a story from another time

some would say the chicken lips label is long overdue, but lipservice is worth the wait as it promises the very best from augmented cl clan of dean meredith, andy meecham, stevie kotey and johnny spencer - a collective who have remixed just about everyone, spawned a thousand copycats and destroyed a few floors in the process. the inaugural lipservice release sees the chaps unleash zeefungk, one of their most popular and rare guises. the a-side is occupied by >robot eyes< - a splendid slice of electro-disco-funk which is vintage chicken lips. acid bass and loose drums combine with keys which progress wonderfully to create a really special piece of dancefloor tomfoolery. next up is >feast of freeks< (stevie koteys tape edit), a new edit of a track featured on the bands now-classic >extended play< album but never released as a 12inch. the bearfunk main man and all round gent delivers a tweaky, driving uptempo disco monster which climaxes in some trademark kotey madness. >robot lips< closes the packages and displays more of the guys unreal keyboard work as the groove stays steady but the hands go hyper. riddled with vintage synth work, >robot lips< is heads down business and no mistake.

royal bangs are from knoxville. that in itself is a statement: theres not much that comes from knoxville, tennessees third largest city, and even less that gets away. quentin tarantino made it out, but the last citys mayor was allegedly so desperate to escape he now works as the us ambassador in poland. cormac mccarthy moved there as a child, of course, but by the time he d written his second book he was long gone. only johnny knoxville advertises his geographical roots, and quite clearly hes a glutton for punishment. so while just one of royal bangs currently has a passport, that doesnt mean they dont know that royal bangs is their ticket out of town.

supported by: varoslav, johnny d., yakine, ray okpara, nekes, ekkohaus, federico molinari,.. fimo is mainly known as a modelling material, that you can get in different colours, to built some toy figures with. in this case the three guys from mannheim brought the project fimo alive to built >djs favourite toy<, house music! three tracks from straight minimal and tricky percussive tools to chordy deep grooves. we are sure it will makes you move.

new jakbeat tracks from chicago on the always limited and vinyl exclusive nation records. villan x/naughty wood/jonny quest - sikk truth is a heat of the moment track. created with pulsating novation tones and an early 80s keyboard with step style sequencing. naughty wood enters the dimension of neo futurism by reflecting the emotional state of the mind body continuum. james t cotton feat. rodger devine - the monolith immediately asserts its colossal melody and takes the listener through a multitude of polyphonic phases without departing from its underlying dark groove. not unlike the eerie monolith in 2001: a space odyssey, the voice of monolith is pervasive and urgent with its sharp articulation, pentatonic motifs and moto perpetuo arpeggios.

special 180g gatefold vinyl pressing to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 1989 classic.

already supported by johnny d., someone else, laurent garnier, jennifer cardini, florian meindl, david keno.. erich lesovsky is the newest addition to stil vor talents exciting artist roster. here comes someone who is totally fascinated and absorbed by technology, someone who only performs as a live act in the clubs and - in the time of digital machinery - still works on constructing his own devices to make music with. after singles for wba and keno records, it is now the time for his first release on oliver koletzkis stil vor talent imprint and mr. lesovsky is very happy to be part of the family. so are we, of course! not only, but also because his first ep is a killer display of musical wizardry. it stars off with >bell a donna<, a minimal funk-laden piece of music that is mainly based on some crisp beats, many warm effects and sounds and a melody so simple, yet so encapsulating to capture the heart of every dancer in the club. this is oldskool minimal funk at its best! next up is >93 percent<, a title that might be misleading at first, because this track sounds more like 150 percent really. a great loop made of fidgety techno hi-hats and some wonderful warm analogue sounds - this could well be termed a new form of fidget techno. last up is >riot beatz<, an experimental display of minimal sound design, yet still very danceable. lots of crystal bashing beats, a pumping bass and many little effects - this will definitely be one for the dancefloor in the morning hours. not only does e. lesovsky seem a master of sound, his expertise seems to cover the perfect creation of warm, yet basic tech anthems and his influences seem to come from all sorts of musical directions, from hip-hop to funk to house back to techno. it is the easiness with which he delivers his music that makes his sound designs so special!

fimo is the project of three guys from the music city of mannheim. each of them has a variety of musical roots, which in combination developed to an ambitious and productive trio. the influences are ranging from deep house enriched with jazzy and dubby elements to minimal groovy tunes. these guys have been musically active in the rhein/neckar region for many years. with the pollenflug ep they present their first release and allow for a small view on their interpretation of electronic music. besides djing and studio work, fimo are currently working on their live performance. the ep already got huge support from loco dice, luciano, ray okpara, johnny d, nekes, federico molinari, pablo bolivar, lars behrenroth!
