almost twelve months after delivering the gastronomic delight that was sugar slow, foundation man gerry o rourke returns with the astrologically astounding gemini ep a joint tribute to adam goldstone and simon freaked brant both of whom sadly left this planet last year. appropriately enough, we kick things off with a track cunningly entitled on an esoteric, minimal techno/house joint with shades of dubstep adding to the slightly ominous feel. we then lift the mood slightly for the quirky, retro, synth heavy techno inspired house of the title track, before bringing things bang up to date with the furiously futuristic rapid recal, and then rounding things off with the veritably funky raze dilemma. a worthy homage and another fine package from the foundation camp

anders trentemøller, the shooting star of 2005, needs no further introduction. he has been stringing together hit after hit, most recently the -nam nam ep- on poker flat which offered an initial insight into his upcoming album -the last resort-. now the new 12- brings the first full-blown single outtake. the featured album track is -always something better – a vocal version featuring richard davis - and has a calmer, almost dreamy mood compared to the club tracks he s released. an easy-going groove, some wonderful celesta chords (hand-played by anders) and the typical trentemøller sound melt with the outstanding vocals by richard davis, who already graced swayzak s -speak easy- on k7. furthermore, davis is known for his longplayers on punkt musik and kitty-yo as well as an array of singles and remixes.a brilliant track with a beautiful atmosphere.of course the a1 slot is reserved for the -trentemøller remix-, a true dancefloor anthem. a kicking bass drum, quirky sounds and the -trentemøller twist- make this a real summer hit. while the a1 mix is a reduced vocal version, you ll find the -dub mix- on b1. to top things off, the one and only matthew herbert contributes his very own interpretation on the -bubble mix-. he disrupts and rearranges the original sounds and song structures to create a new unsettled, but fascinating soundscape

the track loud minority is dedicated to alex dallas loud minority residency in zurichs great club dachkantine, which closed down and was a home for great guests such as carl craig, pepe bradock, juan atkins, metro area, herbert and maurice fulton to name just a few. they all inspired us to create music which incorporates all our beloved music and combine different style elements to a fresh and maybe even a typical zurich sounding way. with dessert you can fade away and feel the ability of foster to take you into his simple but at the same time very sophisticated form of musical expression. kanona does what the title suggests. all tracks are flavoured with a great detroit feeling there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it.

with this release on drumpoet he presents kadena,a track which already acclaimed much attention by the likes of âme and dixon and creates a fresh symbiosis between disco and detroit. an emotional and bootyshaking tune which can take you higher and make you want to move it. on secret playground he goes into the more dubby side of this ep and provides a deep minimal excursion with a warm and almost cinematic feel. lexx is a musiclover so his spectrum is huge, but all we can say is, that this man knows what he does and there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it

the first release on sounderground records with a taste of things to come. a minimal/tech funk offering from the unstoppable pairing of dan berkson and james what. already receiving rave reviews this should see out the summer nicely. idj magazine gives it 4/5!

huggotron delivers an another mighty weapon for you to use ! the opening track >driven< is a relentless, dramatic backing of severe synths, rising pads and swirling noise. the bass in similarly intense, throbbing away before developing for a melodic break. >gasoline< kicks off with an percussive rhythm before a dark synth and a charismatic vocalsample driving the peace along. its quite a head-turner and should create a bother inside a club when played out. last but not least, you ll find the final installment >are you a killer< wich is a proper straight-up, electrohouse track, tuned by a huge bass witch create an lissome feel and things get ... killed!
