terry lee brown jr. – one of the most frequent names in plastic city labels history has convinced his audience and critics by always being different while remaining a unique character of the housy upper class. he succeeded changing topics and following the rule of never producing just one kind of music. the latest release at plastic city comes with a special announcement: terrys next album is in the pipe and this is an exclusive preview on the next chapter of delightful entertainment. the 12inch proves again terrys status as one of the few who are able to reinvent themselves everyday!

helado en globos is the main track for this release, this number has a bassline which is so funky and driving thats going to even make your grandma dance (expect bootlegs of this track with donna summer funzion ones). for the remix, we had no other than the pan-pot guys who kept the original flavour of the original one adding their special touches to the original recipe turning this track into a deep funky stormer. finally, we took one of funzions best works from the igloo back catalogue, his remix of qiks fall. the only reason we did this because its not just a filler, its killer. enjoy your >helado en globos<!

this isnt just another disco record, this isnt just another bunch of tired re edits. what you have in your possession is the collaboration of a worldwide band of dedicated music lovers. the product of many early mornings and late nights, emails, files and myspace communications floating around the world wide web from chin stroking scientists in the us, uk across the european continent and as far east as japan and australia. possibly the first ever co operative dance music project to come from this fast paced future we find ourselves in. a joint venture that makes the world feel a whole lot smaller – history in the making. to be played very loud in discos!!!

that gel abril is destined to be one of the main producer of 2008 is already clear to a lot of djs and producers worldwide. be as one, ovum, renaissance all these great labels have already put their hands on this tel aviv based guy, and the remix package of his new single >your face is a mess< including three of the most interesting artists of the past year, is just a confirmation of gels destiny to climb up high. deetrons not a stranger to the electronic music world. hes been constantly in the spotlights of the scene for many years, and now once again he proves why. his 10 minutes marathon remix on the a side really stands out for its superb programming throughout the entire track. starting building things up slowly it relentlessly delivers the goods with one of his best work to date. on the b side, its the hottest uk techno producer mark broom who joins the be as one crew bringing all his experience to serve the cause. another winner! closing the package, itamar sagi, one of baos new artists, delivers a very interesting and original >jazz meets detroit< mix and gives the package the right balance between the techno genres. a storming rework from a fresh talented producer that cannot help but keep the eyes of >those in the know< down on him!

incl. kollektiv turmstrasse mix, after a while of absence johnjon returns with his 2nd solo release. johnjon started his musical career in electronic music working together with experienced producers in the studio, but in the end it was never satisfying for him. so he decided to lock himself up in the studio and dont come out till everything is right. he just got out of there and delivers the this stunning track. meanwhile is hypnotic and moving, groovy and a little trancy but definitely emotional. the breathing pad cuts through and the small but define changes make everything fit together. a perfect combination of a catchy theme and a solid groove. the remix is delivered by kollektiv turmstrasse, already known from successful releases on labels such as connaisseur rec, diynamic, ostwind and musik gewinnt freunde. christian and nico (kt) took the pad and squeezed out a groovy houseline, fit it into their beats and added a little bit of funk outcome is a wicked release. it is released on the label >baalsaal<, the new sophisticated label, the public transport of emotions

after the best seller produced by maxime dangles, here is a newcomer named nto. three amazing minimal tracks.

incl prins thomas remix !! killer alert from blackbelt andersen... this fine former techno producer and co resident at the full pupp nights in oslo deliever yet another unexpected slow burner, but this time keeping it simple, building the track around a nagging acid groove. prins thomas adds some disco chic on the b-side and.... you should just buy this... ps: blackbelts debut album is just around the corner

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we re gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it... second release up is a taste of what s to come later in 2008 when we drop windsurfs debut album. these 4 tracks where initially planned for release on sentrall but where for some strange reason scrapped and made available as mp3 only. too sad as this is some of the finest heady downbeat electronic music to appear in the current baleric,cosmic blah blah blah call it what you want scene. windsurf consists of 1 part sorcerer and 1 part hatchback, both has records out on tirk and thisisnotanexit respectively and they ve also managed to deliever killer reworks of lcd soundsystem and shawn lee s ping pong orchestra(to be unleashed early 2008). crafting their own musical universeout of layers and layers of guitars and synths, never going for the obvious... well, im not gonna spend more time trying to convince you, check it out at wordandsound.de(paste in appropriate link here f.ex....)

although berlin based dj woody has long been a member of the gigolo crew, having the honor to play at some legendary gigolo nights, this is woodys first solo release for gigolo. and what a fine entry onto the gigolo-scene it is: sure to get people in the know talking... and dancing! woody is the original sonic funkateer whose life is completely focussed on music and his very own definition of funk. hes a genuine kind of a guy, needing nothing more than two turntables, a mixer and an audience to know hes alive. for him djing and making music is not just a job, its his destiny. just one listen to a track like august and you know how much painstaking attention to detail, and love, has been poured into the production of these tracks. august is a cerebral sounding track that will lift you to another level. a version of august is featured on the double cd 10 years anniversary compilation gigolos cd 10 (gigolo210) selected by gigolo boss hell. booty bar is another pumping and raunchy tune thats guaranteed to get that ass shakin. its and slammin beats and funky, almost jazzy, synths licks plus the sexy vocal samples gives this number a succinctly gigolo feel to it. with songs like this, its no wonder that woody is one of the most respected german djs on the international scene

clark drops his excellent new album. dont expect the lullabies and emotional epics of the last album body riddle, turning dragon is a smasher. hard, deep, continuously evolving and gritty tracks, aimed at contorting your body on the dancefloor or just contorting your brain. this is an album that you could almost call techno, but techno with the a.d.d. detail pushed as far as it can go

our fergie seems to have been around for while now, yet at 28, we forget that he was just a lad when he began the amazing journey, that, upto now, he is still riding. his productions are goin from strength to strength - massive support on this absolute corker of a record - respect to the wee fella from larne

nice price deal !!! the serbian tag-team strikes again and smack you in the ropes with another cutting edge piece of futuristic technology. the sub label of recon warriors has a more open minded character, and features productions which move beyond what we are used to. bass settings with just a little more sub than your system can take... melodic fragments that will take you to a creepy state of trance and kicks that keep you awake for a long, long time, yet make you warm and comfortable like a fireplace does a cabin in the midst of a fierce winter!

nite grooves continues on its journey for the dark and deep soul tech. enter brisa. previously known as half of agora rhythm, responsible for amazing remixes of joi cardwells be yourself, as well as having 3 of their own delectably techy instrumental eps on nite grooves, brisa issues his first solo project and its sure to be just as well received. synchronicity is an epic head nodding excursion bound to please the deep and the tech dancefloors alike is followed by 10000 miles away, a straight up 4x4 synthy funk track thats just as heady and smooth.

russ gabriel is the owner of ferox and a techno legend in his own right. with releases on his own label as well some of the worlds best techno labels such as planet e, djax-up-beats and soma. we first welcomed russ to pariter with the release of ferox classics, bringing back some long forgotten ferox tracks for a reminder of just how good techno can sound.

support comes from will saul, solomun, markus echnoson, leigh morgan, karotte, jimpster and mike gillespie !! after the big success of our last releases by alex santons, motorcitysoul and jimpster stir15 continues its journey into the deeper spheres of german housemusic. caller & ridge (aka dadableep) are following our ways and supporting us from the very beginning. the two released great music on labels like rz, traum, lofi stereo (just to name a few) so far. their latest work is an unbelievable statement of what german deephousemusic sounds like in the years 2007/2008. classic elements of the 4/4 universe, warm stabs and chords combined with deep hypnotic basslines to please the crowd and the djs at the same time.

word we werent expecting this! this fine platter kicks off with a deft mash up of paris greys dont lead me and neurotic behaviour by psyche (carl craig) and then launches into a beefed up edit of derrick mays kaos. on the b-side is a re-edit of the kevin saunderson remix of we know it by the wee papa girl rappers. we dont know who did this and nor do we care. its a perfect party record for peak time dance floor lunacy. nothing innovative, nothing new but just adding a new twist to old classics and doing it with style. highly recommended

phat blake baxter like chicago trax !! the unlikely anschluss of vienna and chicago results in a mondo jacking anthem thats not quite early acid house, not quite electro, not quite techno – but just plain evil! featuring vocals by marcus mixx. limited run of 300 copies

dejan milicevics name is spreading fast with releases on patterns, adult, orion muzik and recon warriors to name a few. this record really has 2 different sides. on the a-side you ll find a strange piece of music! its hard and fat, techno with an electro-house-baseline to die for! then the break just tears every thing apart. massive! the flip is a different story, minimal and fat

following releases on delsin, nrk, morse and even josh winks ovum recordings he is now back on orlando voorns triangle! it is crystal clear that this man is working his way towards the top regions of todays techno scene - the way just about everything which sprouts from his mind and his machines, turns into solid gold! here we have another winner, with mr orlando voorn reworking the original! superb!

the ron hardy tribute juggernaut rolls on with two more flashes of enlightenment. a slice of salsoul scorcher is paired with the cooler vibe from chris & cosey. >i remember ron hardy dropping nitzer ebb (hard industrial band) in between records by marshall jefferson and adonis.< says scott k. (more club, los angeles >in urb magazine theres an article on felix da housecat where he mentions frankie knuckles dropping cuts from bands like new order. he then credits (rightfully so) ron hardy for starting that.< >ron was more adventurous that frankie knuckles. frankie would play straight disco but ron would play all kinds of stuff. hed play eurythmics, he play man parrish, hed play shannon, right along with the disco. and man, he just stole all of frankie knuckles crowd.< - marshall jefferson deep underground chicago staple of music played by the chose few to the ones who truly know how deep it is. now its time for the masses to feel the real deepness of the true chicago 80s era of music. only ten percent of what happened here in the 80s, is known to the rest of the world. dont you want to be a member?

just brill , chunky , sexy electronic house feat chelonis r jones on the mic

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard

after the big success about >lift me up< - co-produced with brown sugar - niko de luka now releases his new imprint >good night< with dawn tallman on the microphone. just like his recent releases and remixes he focuses on dawns beautiful soulful vocals that bulid a perfect match with his funky beat programming. nikos roots reach back to the year 1995, as he - influenced by the us house of masters at work, roger sanchez and danny tenaglia - startsspinning the records. in 1998 his first >rich vibes< e.p. is signed by scorpio music france and opens up the doors for international dj bookings. after a short time in barcelona, niko de luka founds his own label, kaa recordings, and gains success with his mix of deep baslines, funk and latin.

played by move d., deetron, agnes, lerosa, quarion, … attention: limited to 350 copies! hot on the heels of his real soon limited release, berlinbased producer hauke freer offers another fab piece of deep house music! hauke has an old-school production approach, working with contemporary software but using a palette of mainly vinyl samples to give a loose, rawsounding edge. all 3 tracks maintain a deep, dark yet smooth feel, using some lo-fi percussion. hauke is keeping a >minimal< edge, fusing detroit flavoured electronics with a rough berlin feel. old-fashioned in a good way - just the way we like it! hauke freer grew up in a small town near hamburg and moved to berlin in 2000 to work for the techno label kanzleramt. after spending a year in australia djing and working for the label future classic, hauke returned to berlin to work for the resopal schallware label

just brilliant deep detroithouse madness !! tony rodriguez aka brothers vibe released already on track mode, mixx records, ....

phoonky minimal techno !! behind the 18th release are 3 locals from berlin. philip bader joins forces with heinrichs & hirtenfellner to rock your socks off. just like they do in every weekend back to back with a dj calendar busy as fuck. off course they are producers well renowned in their own right and this ep is a good example why

finally we manage to get a new ep from the man carl falk. he was the first on the label with the great hz-1 and hz-3-eps that we repressed all the time. you know what to expect and this is no exception, full on tribal-party-techno all the way. the first track is with a little acid twist. the rest is just full-on massive grooves!

big support by richie hawtin, ricardo villalobos, paco osuna, marco carola, xpansul, davide squillace... after his summer holidays in miami, damian schwartz has rediscovered his kinky latino side. his new release is a story about futuristic techno, mental and contorted dance music seasoned with a salsa flavour. química afluencia (mupa 006) is the product of the chemistry affecting the brain of an individual for whom the obstacles are unknown, now focusing his talent on a black as night house, bigger and fatter than ever. >1568 drexel av< is a conga battle, full of bitter rhythms and syntethized sounds, friction for best possible dancefloor, the one that is in your brain. *2020 replicates this same adn but in different secuences: tons of sick and nasty grooves that make you sweat like hell. just a few artist have damian schwartzs capacity of going a step further on each one of his releases

igor tchkotoua and dan duncan are true workaholics. not only are the two mallorquinos forming one of the most exciting techno duos of our time and play in the most famous clubs worldwide, they always make it to pop up in the studio to work on their releases on sonic society, wig records or like in the case of >deliverance<, the new 12inch on cocoon. >deliverance< starts quite cautious but the track becomes more and more complex – pig & dan give the dj a tool that fits the minimal raver like a custom-made suit. the b side is again one of those tracks that put a smile on your face. in >sly detector<, atmospheric techno sound unites with energetic celebration pleasure, just as we know it from tracks like >after ibiza< or >on to the beat<. the rolling hookline which has the necessary splash of acid is, together with the floating trance layer, adrenalising to such extent that nothing else remains to be done but to raise your hands in the air. the track was already a hit with many djs in 2007, and will be one – chosen in the right moment – on many dancefloors in 2008, too

limited edition coloured vinyl !! excellent deep dubtechno a la maurizio, basic channel and all usual suspects... just a must have item

played by karotte, jamie jones (crosstown rebels), 2000 and one, laurent garnier, steve bug !! just brilliant melodic techhouse remixes by the drumpoet comunity guys

turn around is a pure deep underground house track in vein of old chicago house records, flipside with more dark hypnotic 2008 techhouse flavour by cassy. just a masterpiece

with that old speed garage alarm and strings that will make you think of the rough early days of drum n bass, this smashing remix surely makes for a massive dancefloor hit! cut up, re paste and break it down! new york based japanese producer yellowtail, formally known as hiro awanohara, hits us up with his debut release on the raw fusion label. and what a debut its got all those little finesses we like, raw, dirty, cut and paste beats with deep and sawed up bass lines. but not only that, we also get a fresh rhyme (caribbean style!) by uk based mc juakali to make us get jump up on it! and folks, this is just the flipside?on the a side of the vinyl release we get to go back in time, michael j fox style! its like something taken out of an old dark and dirty garage club in london back in the mid 90?s when yellowtail remixes his own original grunt with this ripgroove like 4/4 production.

maria fresca is a project by franco cinelli and dario zenker, which is based on a true live musical experience. since they met the first time and smoked a couple of blunts, theyve thought about working something out together. and here is the result. spaced, dubbed out kickless journeys through their musical universes, like timothy learys housekeeping woman from the french alps on rollerblades. where is the kick? the basedrum? well, if it doesnt show up, dont wait for it because there wont come any. dance music without basedrum seems useless to you? if you think so, just listen to that cut really carefully and you wont even recognize that there isnt one. the rhythm is the main theme here

big with: shinedoe, loco dice, eddie richards, audiofly, nacho marco, afrilounge. dave mothersole, funk d void,… nick curly just moved in his plastic city domicile. his career as dj, producer and label head began more than a decade ago. he started spinning at the legendary vibration club at the age of fifteen and more than ten years later one cannot remember all names he worked with and venues he played at. he regularly plays at the loft club and holds resiedencies at cocoon clubs >envy-my music events< and >the soho club< in mannheim. his work gains international interest and the intervals get shorter while he also makes more and more effort at his own labels >8bit< and >cécille records<

this is the new adnckrystall lp, the second (the fourth in fact), a pure non conformist album, no computer, no midi system, no good taste of studio mix for fucking mass fun commercial of artistico politico correct electro. just sincere 80s analog french cold wave romantic trashy noisy - because synthies are punkies naive vox biologic fxs but sex and chic!

pink skulls julian grefe is the wild eyed, psychedelic stalwart of philadelphias indie dance music scene. an accomplished musician, producer, and dj with a slew of bands, records and music projects to his credit! gonzos cointreau is pink skulls latest mix for the masses, an update of the four on the floor sound with quirky tech house, varietal acid, and retro sounds just trashy enough to keep it freaky. it is the first single off the forthcoming full length album zeppelin 3 to feature daneil mazone, billy dufala of man man, jeremy gewertz of jai-alai savant and an albatross, and boys life r jon anderson, now of white whale.

roland clark presents urban soul returns with a swingin jazzy house tune that ll make you shake your rump. roland is on the mic, egging people on to enjoy themselves, fortifying the purpose of a party. mr. v gives us a pumpy but deep mix with a faint victrola background hook. the 5 beats mix (named after the paris/nyc party with franck roger & alix alvarez) is a straight up simple shoo be doo repetitive jammin dub. the original mix gives the full essence with a more mainstream radio appeal. just let go & have fun!

so we bring the bang once again with an incredible ep full of brilliant raw energy and intricate groove by an up and coming dutch artist mr. ion ludwig. originally from amsterdam and now residing in berlin, ludwig has made a name for himself with his sharp, unpredictable, but fierce soothing tracks on respected labels such as alphahouse, resopal, stock5 and also his own label quagmire. we asked for tracks that spanned the spectrum and without a doubt ludwig produced an array of tracks that do just that! cornerstones is an ep that will prove to become another successful tool used by many in the international circuit, full of intricate rhythms with a low-end that can knock your glass off the table

once again, cadenza keeps the blood flowing frew with th addition of a new artist to its roster - on in this case, three of them: guido schneider, andre galluzzi and florian schirmacher, teaming up for a two-way three way of sorts, and resulting in two absolute stormers, just in time for the stormy season !!!

limited one sided edition !! far out is just that: a track that goes the distance, but without pretension or unnecessary fanfare. more understated than your typical anthem, it cruises in stealth mode, winding a refined, percussive groove ever tighter, threaded onto a pattern of needle-nosed toms that glides almost unnoticed under your skin. unnoticed, that is, until the tracks main riff comes crashing down like an awning full of icicles, sharp and cold and heavy. but sebo ks sense of restraint is such that he never beats us over the head with it, so to speak. instead he lets the groove spiral on, tightening it as he goes and whipping up chilly little sinewave twisters along the way. you can leave your mittens at home, though, because theres enough heat in the rolling bass line to keep you warm all winter long
