nice new berlin label with nice artwork and some sweet cosmic kraut disco. original mix is by grackle (aka galaxy toobin aka smeckulator) who dropped a nice minimalish sahko kind of cut. main tracks are basicly the sweet ass remixes by unit 4 who made a long slowly building track with an electronic kraut rock/disco groove and he managed to take things higher into the comsos as the track develope... nice job! the other very nice remix is by t. keeler who made a more disco-ish affair with nice lush grooves and warm balearic sounds. hot stuff for all the lindstrom, mudd, prins thomas, quiet village fans

three years after his debut album basement soul kid returns in september 2008 with his darkest release to date. expect hip hop, sublime style, with guest appearances by camp lo, frank n dank, illa j, defari among others. until then, lets warm things up with this twelve! on the title track kid finds himself in his own world on a beat which was started out life as remix for the brazilian/dutch super group zuco 103. as a result - kid rhymes on the beat himself leaving you exposed to his world. the soulful pityful times appears as an (short) skit on the album while the extended cut is only available on the b side of this twelve inch. besides kid sublime this track features amsterdams finest vocal weapon, ninthe on the hook. kid sublime toured with zuco 103 and guru as a dj, and co founded the rednose distrikt collective, which he left to focus on his debut album basement soul. after that he put out records with frank n dank, les deal, wouda and did remixes for the likes of harry swinger, rob scott, recloose, j davey...

infadels are back. two years on from their acclaimed debut, we are not the infadels, new album, universe in reverse is the bands youth produced crossover masterpiece. bursting with energy, huge guitar melodies and hooks in abundance, it is, in short, the definitive infadels record and potentially a huge crossover album. universe in reverse is an album packed with soon to be hits reflecting the bands heady year and a half on tour, where they were able to discover the sounds that they would grow to become a re imagining of the new infadels sound. produced by youth (verve, guns n roses), and perfected by the mixing skills of ever dependable cenzo townshend (bloc party, pigeon detectives, reverend and the makers), this is a dynamic ten tracker of lyrically insightful everyman pop.

includes king britt remix/matt playford edit of josh ones contemplation

great deep journey into space !!!

alec storey has been making quite a name for himself in techno & electro circles since his debut release on kracktronik back in 2006. renowned for his no-holds-barred live shows (which often incorporate stunning demonstrations of his considerable skills as a drummer), he has also been making considerable progress in the studio, with new equipment and new techniques. the troglodyte ep is a distillation of all these things and more, and although calling it refined might be stretching it a bit (its not called the troglodyte ep for nothing), its certainly fair to say that he has honed his sound into a near-perfect combination of brutal beats, bowel-busting bass, and mind-mangling sound design, all presented at slightly-higher-than-normal tempos, guaranteed to get the pulse racing. for remix duties we called in two heavyweight producers! carl finlow (aka silicon scally) has been turning out immaculate electro, house and techno for over 10 years now, with releases & remixes on such respected labels as mute, warp, playhouse, satamile & scsi-av . here he turns troglodyte into an off-kilter, but driving, electro workout full of twists and turns. kracktronik fave volum doesnt disappoint either. he drops the tempo and increases the spook factor by a few notches, and as always his intricate programming reveals layer after layer of nutritious electronic brain-food.

all good things go by three, brilliant third popnorama release! with his amazing remix for off pop on popn002, he introduces himself impressiv. his style is like made on mars. never before we heard such f*ckin great stuff! with his rough and reduced dirty finch he defies all them lovely melodies and set the point to the biiiiig basedrum. smash the voice and get up! the opposite of the original track comes from johjon, who is allready known by his great remixes for stil vor talent, dirt crew and heiko laux. he makes the >dirty finch< move on smooth minimal house vibes.

moxie is on an intergalactic roll here. three times space(ious) disco daftness! tip! willie went wild while on mars, editing some dirty disco basslines to planetary alignment. meanwhile over on jupiter things were taken beyond when toying around with classy material… check those strings…meltdown! and finally landing on the moon, where another nugget was edited to disco heaven. universal stuff

long and sleepless nights were the inspiration for slaapgebrek wich means sleep deprivation in dutch. the results of these sessions are two moody & hallucinogenic tracks, wich represent a state of mind only to be experienced after many restless nights. the original mix with its freaked out shuffled drumpatterns, rave stabs and maximal modulated bassline is peaktime dancefloor fudder for any crazed techno night. frustrated bleeps and fx give it a nervous twilight zone like feel, climaxing and clashing throughout the track. the flipside takes things on a lighter, more emotion ridden tip. the rhythm is stripped down of all nastiness and the bassline friendlier and melodic. halfway through the break the violins kick in, resembling the break of dawn after another night of turning and twisting without getting any much deserved rest. perfect afterhour material.

ultraphat phunked up hi tech killer tracks !

nice price deal !!! the first full release from m.i. loki since being nominated for best breakthrough producers at breakspoll, sees them return to their musical roots for this unique double header. out of control combines cheeky synthetic rifts with an outrageous speed ragga inspired drop and a classically delivered vocal sample to finish things off.

as the 3rd single of j.s.s. s monthly release project, this includes a remix by carl craig !!! kiyotaka fukagawa aka calm (aka organlanguage and k.f., and the owner of music conception label) and kazuyuki shimizu aka herbest moon (also known as the rapper of tha blue herb and the owner of that label, the blue herb rec), combine here as the duo japanese synchro system and started their new project. this time an original song features the rap by kazuyuki shimizu under the name of ill-bosstino (you may never have heard of japanese rap, though) and that remix by carl craig, who has been dropping amazing songs in the market. speaking of remix, we can say it uses the voice of ill-bosstino rather than making his words stand out. either of them are mighty song. and an insert with japanese rap and english translation will be included, so it makes it possible for the people all over the world to feel that everyone lives on the earth are thinking about the same things when they are on dance floor, with enjoying crazy dance music...ltd repress

hairy claw kicks off 2008 with new artists, a more consistent release schedule, a new a&r (alongside label man stevie kotey) in our man dean muhsin and some serious releases. first up comes from dan drastic. dan is a german producer and dj with impeccable taste. previous output for highgrade has been superb and he has some amazing stuff due to drop on moon harbour (where he takes care of promotions in fine style) so hairy claw have handpicked him for the first release of 2008. deep, groovy and with just the right amount of drive, >xibeca< is a mordern house cut of the highest order. supernature and tsuba artists bearweasel take the techier elements of dan’s original and twist them into a flowing tech-house cut too - so there’s something for the heavier crowds too. there are big things afoot with hairy claw, we’ll keep you posted

the original mix starts a complex roller, with a discreet but powerful bass line under some seriously hectic beats. the breakdown sees this track take a more musical tone and shows great depth, this one focuses on progressing themes throughout, and will appeal to those who like things a little left of centre

nice price deal !!! shadowfax is hot! with the superfat release from jelle kuipers which is getting huge response and a lot of airplay by big names and the also wicked mark broom remix on the flip. the next one is by bells and macoye. macoye is the alter ego of ortin cam who is is doing some heavy tunes lately like the dancefloor killing remix of dhs classic the house of god on missile. this a1 track is in the same style as that remix, a hard bass line driving track with a lot of things going on in there to make sure the crowd will recognise and appreciate this tune!! on the flip a steady building track that can be used as the sneaky weapon in any dj set!

after releases from heavy hitters such as two armadillos, solomun and andomat3000 the mantle now falls to new boy class71 with his double a-side >seaphone/diamond door<. well, it would do if he was really the new boy, but he s not. in fact, this new artist is an alias of italian producer santos, who has pretty much done it all in house, techno and every other genre we could lazily list. rounding things off with a respectful nod to classic techno via moody stabs, lazy melodies and an airtight arrangement in the form of >diamond door<, it seems like class71 is a bit of a name to watch. don t take our word for it though, ame, sasse, djinxx and agnes are already backing this winner.

played by karotte, sebo k, shinedoes... >hamlin< leads us down a path so groovy, its hard to resist this dreamy tale from the very beginning. steady pushing drums define the tracks mood, amounting to a tactful combination of classic deep house vibes flowing freely against solid and functional percussive elements. drifting late night synths and childlike, ethereal chants osmose the mind of the listener, warming and arousing, spreading only positive energy on the dancefloor. deep vibes rec sascha dive takes hamlin off on his own trip, elegantly stripping down the groove of the original and spacing things out even further. this mix is a pure and prolonged snapshot of the orignals travelling mood, building the groove in subtler steps, emphasised by dives treatment of the chanting, spinning vocals and playful, live arrangement. opening with the same finely strung groove as >hamlin<, >snowflakes< introduces a beautiful and delicately dubbed melody amongst its bubbling rhythms

nice price deal !!! chez music presents rob salmon triumph. a strong organ led track that brings back an early 90s house vibe reminiscent of a vintage maw dub with comtemporary techy influences. scott wozniak (defected / king street) hot off his dj gomi glad i found you remix takes things up a notch with a slamming dubby/faya combo styled version. a classic in the making!

mo rotation is the next step in the history of westpark units 80s funk influences they started with blaxrotation and fits well within the sound of today! always sexy, dope, deep & dubby. proper thang is as deep as jeep and builds up in the typical westpark unit style with some demanding but tricky drumpatterns and a wicked bassline. to surprise, the duo added some old school snippets into the drop, put them into a different context and present a jewel of a bangin deep house tune with one of the most enthusiastic moments when the beats come back in. mo rotation sets up with just some shakers, a demanding percussion loop, a booming bass and needs almost 5 minutes to get things started. when the bassdrum finally drops in, the club is already near ecstasy while the music takes a small step from 1983 to 2008 and a deep masterpiece

things go slow sometimes..
