mystery meat kicks off 2010 with quite the bang. a veritable nyc disco supergroup comprised of runaways jacques renault and fellow brooklynite lee douglas, now of both tbd and stallions fame, join the mystery meat club with two certifiable dancefloor bombs. 2009 was an incredible year for both gents with a steady steam of original releases and remixes, spanning all manner of house and disco, and dj gigs the world over

mass appeal is a true crowd pleaser with its hypnotic grooves, liquid sound snippets that bubble and steam across sci-fi flutes and sensuous vocals. all culminating in an ebbing flowing marathon of massive appeal. already played by the likes of 2000 and one, gregor tresher, richie hawtin

bolz bolz comes back at your full steam with this new release of ramped up crunchy dirty break beat waver. this is some of his best work yet with >lift going up< setting the tone of what is to come. bolz bolz has come along way and in this lp he really creates a new universe of sonic wonder.

the 2nd ep from colognes trio lemon popsicle on yellowtail .for sure we have something special here, two very forward moving tracks from this up & coming act. brilliantly completed by berlin based artist jaxson.

now we are proud to welcome the flash brothers with their debut on clubstar records. na na hey hey kiss him goodbye has originally been a number one pop single on the billboard hot 100 in late 1969, by a band called steam. the flash brothes take this evergreen into a crossover potential electro house track. slamming remixes come by abel riballo & dj kds and kid chris, who have proved their skills before on clubstar. for those who dont like the vocals there is also a pumping dub mix on the vinyl. support from some of the biggest names in the industry, like paul oakenfold, tiesto, sasha, john digweed, pete tong, judge jules, danny tenaglia, armin van buuren, paul van dyk, deep dish, dave seaman, seb fontaine, ferry corsten, steve lawler, satoshi tomiie, max graham, robbie rivera, sandra collins, nick warren, hernan cattaneo, james zabiela, tom stephan, junior vasquez, victor calderone and many, many others!

finally a full ep by d marc cantu (1/2 of 2am/fm and under other aliases involved in collabos with traxx). technically its the follow up to his cult hit no control (creme jak 02, today a highly sought after 12inch) and in good h-h-h-house fashion this ep contains a ball busting jtc remix of this anthem. but the centre piece must be the title track one of the most emo-simplo jak trax weve ever heard here at the office. starting out simple enough with a single finger synth line (like the musings of a retarded secretary), it mutates into a big wailing distorted saxophone (or a mating whale, who knows?), this puppy will fill your room and throw everybody into an instant k-hole. hey, if that dont sound appealing check the soundclips for proof, its pure liberation... nay rebirth! more floor destroying crazyness on the flipside, but were all out of steam describing it. jak jak jak

incl alex niggemann rmx! we welcome berliner marc poppcke to the fold for his freerange debut with the far away from you ep. the young producer has been building steam just recently with fine releases on moonpool, meerestief and ostwind, mainly focusing on a deep, stripped back, minimal house sound.

we are proud to announce that no one less than greeks firstrate techno artist, axel karakasis, is featured with a huge track on technopassion number six. >buggy< is, as you d expect, a quite funky track that s packed with a ton of rhythm and cool synth lines with a oldschool feeling. another must have from axel that will please every crowd! on the flipside are two tracks from austrias uprising techno hero george le nagelaux. >steam engine< goes unstoppable forward like a steamroller. the baseline is really monstrous and accompanied by a catchy synthline. surely a number one prime time burner! >industrialisation< gots a proper base too and mystic sounds mixed with driving beats: dark, atmospheric and well donne. >industrialisation ep< is a solid, highly playable three tracker that no one should miss out!

after the success of their collaboration with paul thomas on last years festival anthem >arena<, mark knight and funkagenda join forces once again on one of the most eagerly anticipated tracks showcased at this years miami wmc.
>good times< is the feel good anthem of the summer comprising of a modest intro with a warbling bass line driving slowly through collecting sounds, before opening up into an edgy synth stab and finally the insanely catchy vocal hook >these are the good times<! the track drops back in like a speeding locomotive train going full steam ahead, with cleverly placed percussion, fx and siren sounds soaring to create an intense rhythm.
on the flip, >flauta magica< shows the diversity of these two acclaimed producers when they get in the studio together. taking a different route from the lead track and concentrating more on the groove, >flauta magica< chugs along nicely with an almost tribal percussive feel to it. the excellent chanting vox sample, reminiscent of the early house sound, keeps the groove rolling along into the drop. taking the lead from the tracks name, a whistling flute riff drops elevating the musical vibe to a new balearic level.

spectrum continues to move full steam ahead into 2009, and follows with another solid release this time courtesy of marco bailey with his track spektral. this deep and dubby groover is sure to keep the progressive heads happy but still carries enough weight to keep the all techno tots smiling too, a seriously good track from the belgian techno don.

it has been a while since mighty thor came up with a solid techno banger, but this time he is ready to blow of some steam on the 2nd dynamic reflection release. thor comes up with some serious detroit influenced techno on the aside, expect catchy synthmelodies and smooth percussion at his best! the french guys from sub space put out an awesome remix on the a2. their rework makes you want to funk that shit and reminds you at the old technasia sound! on the flipside sub space comes up with an oldschool, almost axis sounding techno stomper. quality analog stuff is what these guys are capable of and they proof it once again with hypnotic synths and 909 rideloops, a true dancefloor killer! thor is responsible for reworking this original and brings us an amazing remix with even some breakbeat influences in the breakdown. bringin some futuristic feel in this oldschool techno banger with extraordinary uplifting percussion loops he pushes himself to another level with this one! once again a superior 2nd release from the dynamic reflection squad, lets pray for more of this pure quality stuff and keep our eyes on the the future. the scene need more labels like this which reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come..

under the stewardship of alan fitzpatrick, 8 sided dice has earned the right to be considered one of the most exciting labels to emerge in 2008. tracks 9 hours later, germ, ghost train and mau yin have prompted the likes of carl cox, dubfire, john digweed, nic fanciulli and christian smith to sing alan? praises and catapulted the 8 sided dice on to want-lists of fans across the globe. having notched up four releases under his own steam, alan now turns to his contemporaries

persistencebit returns with the follow up ep of wang incs meditations for a better world series, which first part on persistencebit has been highly acclaimed and has been given incredible reviews, such as in de.bug magazine among many others. previously on sonig, bip-hop, and context, he now reappears with number two of the series and once you start listening you will know it all makes sense, given how close in spirit wang inc. s fresh fusion of experimental treatments and funk-house grooves is laid down. throughout the ep, wang speckles his fabulous metal machine music with rolling bass lines, high-stepping beats, and brilliant splashes of synthetic colour, whether it s the pounding stepper mind the gap or the pulsating future-funk of you are late a near-perfect fusion of experimental and dance musics, hyperactive dog splatters its house-inflected steam-roller with showers of whirr and click, and animates it with snares that hit so hard they could chop your head off. in the closer track this is the song to say goodbye he brings us electronic noise and beat madness to round things up and create a diverse sounding listening experience

the latest release from persistencebit headquarters, comes with a killer single-sided, single-track ep, serving the brilliant donnacha costello remix of >cobra< by rolf and fonky (italian djs and producers mirco uguccioni and maurizio ottavi). and donnacha does it again, what he does best – delivering strong low-riding techno grooves. costello, who is no stranger to the electronic music world, with his sought after releases on mille plateaux, releases on kompakt & his colour series on his own minimise imprint, brings as fine echoing claps over a steam-driven shuffle move, letting the intensity escalates when a house feel seeps into the tracks hammering pulse, after which a gradual wind-down brings the lights down to help ease the hooded snake to sleep on this remix. the track is a pure dance floor sweeper in full effect, cut and mastered for optimal dj friendly use

pre-release copies - somewhere between electro, rock and minimal

nice price deal !!! slow to speak triumphantly returns from their self-imposed hiatus to refurnish the label gears, reignite the promotional engine & proceed forward full-steam with their latest release, a limited one-sided 12, pressed on 180 gram vinyl with japanese obi and featuring an exclusive sample from the forthcoming second installment of joe claussells >trans.late< mix cd compilation series. nrsb 5 s only dictate is to follow the uncharted. revolving around a determined synth loop, it transforms as it unfolds and reassembles, returning with new determination as it obsessively revisits its own chosen refrain under the skilled hand of the producers manipulative shape shifting. never static, always moving, dodging its own melody to return with the same body beneath a new costume, the rigid, unyielding control remains intact, as each second serves a precise purpose in its masterfully assembled, inter-reliant structure: a beautiful whole, completely unified in its chaotic infinity. add to basket

already supported by pan-pot, sebo k, anja schneider, kiki, karotte... simplicity is the name of the game on both tracks here. on >louder elvis<, the two unleash pure deep-house bounce over ominous, detroit-inspired pads, clean-as-a-whistle bleeps laser their way through a fog of dubbed-out delay. the tunes flow suggests a live session, with tumbling chords following their own whims, but theres nothing haphazard about it. this ones all about the afterhours, head down and moving steadily into the light. a vocal sample kicks off >radio graceland< but dont expect any bloated rock n roll theatrics. instead, van dowski and agnès lay down a slowly rolling groove with a latin touch and even a little bit of reggaetón lurch. hand drums dapple the landscape with faded colors, keeping the mood subdued—at least, until the beat gathers steam and bright, syncopated chords splash about. groaning analog noises push the energy restlessly forward, driving dancers to wild abandon: the track is as effective as it is unconventional. what else would you expect from two of switzerlands most uncompromising crowdpleasers

nach den erfolgreichen veröffentlichungen >desire<, >seis o seis< und den remix von >trigger< präsentiert level non zero die erste eigene ep von labelmitarbeiter chris wood. durch seine langjährige dj-erfahrung u.a. in clubs wie robert johnson offenbach, monza frankfurt & ibiza, harry klein münchen usw, weiß er genau was die tänzer erwarten, und das hört man auch !!

if you loved give blood then the beatific visions is just as essential. the songs are short, sweet and demand repeat listens. they range from the ridiculous (porcupine or pineapple) to straight up country (if i should die tonight and on your side) to full steam ahead early buzzcocks / wire esque post punk rock (margherita and beatific visions).

two kanzleramt releases by ray kajioka in this nice price package with finest rollin detroit touched techno !!!

perc trax presents the debut longplayer from ghost in the machine.

it was in february 2015 when japanese producer and sound designer kuniyuki takahashi, sometimes known as koss, releases with the ep ™newwave project ¾2š a record, that tapped some roots of his mu-sical education: new wave, german electro punk from bands like a daf, ebm from acts like front 242 as well as industrial music. styles, about kuniyuki claims that they are his ™favourite musicš. now, nearly two years after his first newwave project ep, he drops an album that is leaning towards his musical love from the past. com-pared to his former work, that was rooted in worlds of classic, jazz, house, ambient, and electronic song-writing, his new tunes are full of melodic drifts and rhythmical shifts. as usual all is loaded with tones and rhythms straight from the heart that filter and modulate human emotions without losing their natural source. to get a sound that is fresh but still leaning to the 1980ees, he used some old synthesisers like a roland jupiter 8, a juno 60, a korg ms 20, an old tape echo machine but also new instruments like the roland aira. furthermore, his modular synthesizers talk too.

as we launch into the 20th instalment of our watergate mix series, it seems only fitting that we turn to one of our own artists to commemorate the milestone. a man already well known for his poignant and impassioned productions and dj sets, we are thrilled to present matthias meyer as the next master of controls on watergate 20! over the course of 80 minutes, meyer skillfully navigates through boundless sonic spaces of lush melodics, organic grooves and sentimental sensations with an effortless approach. from the very beginning, emotions run deep as the sound of rain and strings on kettenkarussellÕs Ôten friendsÕ sets the stage as yokoo & retzas exclusive track satori and leafar legovs tribal girls establish the percussive tone of the mix. the journey really begins to unfold when back to back exclusive tracks gorje hewek & izhevskis turgoyakk and matthias own uluwatu take over. as the mix picks up steam tracks from palms trax, langenberg, hyenah and another exclusive from meyer himself provide the perfect momentum that drives us into the deeper side as the mix takes a turn towards the final stretch.

amiable new york city-based alt-rockers spin doctors hit it big in 1993 with the jam band hits -two princes- and -little miss cant be wrong,- both of which fueled many countless collegiate afternoons spent hacky sacking and devil stick juggling amidst a sea of red plastic cups. released in 2011, the best of spin doctors, which doesnt differ too much from 2000s just go ahead now: a retrospective or 2009s playlist: the very best of spin doctors, features 18 tracks culled from the groups three albums for epic. front-loaded with the groups two biggest, aforementioned hits, the collection loses steam as it progresses (though there are some tight, 70s-inspired nuggets to be found like -mary jane- and -cleopatras cat-), due in no small part to the groups penchant for always staying in its comfort zone.
