recorded at the bands own illegal combatant studios and the world renowned blasting room in ft. collins colorado, supporting caste is the fifth full length release from winnipegs political punks propagandhi. crafted in collaboration with bill stevenson (black flag, descendents, zeke, 7 seconds), this twelve song collection of boundless power and depth is a 50.000 watt forward thinking tip of the hat to giants such as voivod, rush, snfu, sacrifice, razor and guilt parade, that have gone before them. legendary and unrepentant residents of humankinds ideological peanut gallery, propagandhi does not disappoint with supporting caste, launching crude rockets into the heart of the prevailing order with meditations that range in focus from the humane slaughter and consumption of non vegans in an elaborate 18 course banquet (with wine pairings) to the apparent confusion of turning on the tv to watch a simple hockey game and having to wonder whether or not the nazis actually lost the war after all. supporting caste: 12 new laments, reveries and extrapolations from 4 visibly aging prairie skids who still cannot believe that of all the gin joints in all the galaxies in all the universes, they had to be born on.

fresh from the success of his new album, ninja tuna, mr scruff dips his line back in the sea with the funktabulous get on down. taking a little chunk of 70s soul goodness (a prince phillip mitchell song, sung by johnny adams) and turning it into scruffy sashimi, this is undoubtedly one of the dancefloor stand outs of an album guaranteed to get any crowd bumping. hold on, on the other hand, features the smooooth vox of andreya triana, but nothing can stop scruff from dropping lashings of bass squelch - plus a little extra bangingness on the alternate version hold the dub. altogether uplifting, chest vibrating and all round marvellous, this is brit soul the way it should be done.

uk electro tech madness by dave tarrida

superb reissue of ron trent s all-time deep techno classic altered states. made when he was still school-age, and released in 1990 on armandos seminal warehouse label, this record was an immediate underground club hit, turning ron into a local hero, kickstarting his hugely successful production and djing career and making him probably the only chicago house producer to rate one of the best techno singles of all time! this classic acid workout is stunning in its simplicity and has been described as one of the most perfect and moving tracks ever heard. the other tracks are also very beautiful in their own right despite having been overshadowed by the epic altered states - the afterlife was included on dj hells x-mix-5. all tracks digitally remastered for superb sound quality

after a short hiatus bighouse recordings is back with a fantastic release from super hot canadian talent glenn morrison and frequent studio partner human adams. glenn has been making big waves recently with his big room productions, here he shows that he can write music for more intimate settings as well, turning in a smooth, late-night inspired groover in siesta. on remix duties is the legendary bruce aisher in his gutterstylz guise. his remix is like a walk down memory lane, combining the best of oldschool prog with the sounds of today!

with already massive support from jocks like technasia, valetino kanzyani, mauro picotto, james kameran and many more chris liebing is starting a new label called spinclub recordings. the first release is by spinclub resident dj emerson, already known for his releases on kiddaz fm and microfon. on this first ep on scr, dj emerson features his familiar dry techno. to the efficiently and solidly working cut the crap on the a-side, he opposes with the spectacular mr. nice on the b-side. mr nice starts off in a restrained way. in the break you could almost think it would lose itself in an ocean of delay, if, yeah if not suddenly this striking bassline would emerge. it starts rolling, turning the track around 180 degrees, transforming it into a rampaging peaktime monster. for the one who wants to put an exclamation mark in his set, voila

played by sebo k, karotte... layo and bushwacka! are equally at home turning out summery housey affairs as they are peak time stormers, and >now is the time / the time was then definitely fits into the latter category. a double header, the loose concept behind the release is to represent the sound of the dancefloor now versus the sound from a few years ago. >now is the time< has its feet placed firmly in 2008 - a crisp, clean techno bassline, topped by hand claps, snatches of breathy female vocal, and full of an irresistible array rattles, whooshes and other indefinable sounds that the duo seem to pull from the depths of their imaginations. it breaks with some simple electronic sounding chords and a stirring martin luther king sample that makes this record so memorable. >the time was then< is based around that same sample, but gives a cheeky nod to a few years back, with a bassline and keys that wouldnt have sounded out of place on their seminal ‘night works’ album. it never goes too far towards nostalgia, though, and either would rip up a late night dancefloor

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.

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.

label boss, spiros kaloumenos does it again! analog mode 01 was charted and hammered by main techno players and more of the same is expected for this one also. two solid techno originals by spiros that prove exactly why his reputation is growing more and more over the last years. moderate and turbulence were tested continuously on spiros dj sets over the last months and proved that will rock the dancefloors big way with their massive breakdowns and rhythm!! on the flipside two remixes make this record a must have!! this time on remix duties are two names that need no introduction! paul mac from u.k, label boss of stimulus rec. and contributor to some of the biggest ever techno imprints like: primate, theory, ingoma, intec, sino, kanzleramt, delivers the goods for one more time turning original track into a pure, straight, peak time mover!

new artists on bombay, chicagos j & j soultempo come with a strong gospel influenced late night slammer for the dance floor. featuring the vocals of the renowned terry moore combined with the soulful chicago acid house production of j & j soultempo, this release has an real early nineties murky deep house sound with modern production. jason ferguson jaycee and jere mcalllister are emerging from a strong community of the new generation of producers and musicians based in chicago that will be turning heads in the house scene. some kinda good agrees with the new york vibey heads as well as the chicago and detroit kids the tune defines house as going back to just one category and one community.

the deathset go international jetset on your ass with a spanking new ep that balances niceness and nastiness like only they know how. fresh from bringing joy, madness and foolishness to europes gig venues, the deathset burst out with around the world, the next stop on their worldwide escapade. featuring two tracks not heard on the upcoming full length (paranoia and boys than girls), plus killer remixes from etan and bonde do role, this is an absolute must for anyone who understands the value of going fucking nuts. around the world is a dance floor anthem to take on the planet to. bostonian scene shaker etan takes impossible and turns it into the most glorious, life affirming, hands in the air high. paranoia is like being stuck on a whirligig eating candyfloss powdered with speed. boys than girls is the sound of the wildest gig you ve never been to. bonde do role round things out by turning the death set into the baile beasties. a good look.

>where< marks tejada’s eleventh full-length release. in it he ventures away from many of his own trademarks and journeys into an intimate vibe of warm pulses and bright energies. the tracks take expectations and enlighten them with a collection of grooves and tweaks that are spacious and rhythmic while being devoid of predictability. further support comes from reynold, sebo k, adultnapper, giles smith

the chart buster martin solveig was glad when his roman friend and colleague lorenzo rumi called upon him to return to the roots of house music, starting from the early, glorious chicago scenario and its immediate and infectious groove. so far away came to life, as an impulse with only 2 days of hectic studio session and a few liters of coffee. the guys worked on a stricltly old school basis, then added a full vocal and new elements to bring the fine charme of todays house, turning so far away in a contemporary composition rich of surprises and thrilling breaks. the performance of australian soul singer rachel claudio gives a touch of attitude with passionates and unforgettable vocals. definitely another epic stone in the b2f wall!

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 sound< is the sound of def jaguar (aka djuma soundsystem) and best mate flip. you might remember the djumas from last years >les djinns< on get physical but this is a completely different story. >this sound< is pure catchy and sexy pop-house at its best. its a flirt tool! berghain/panorama bar resident murat tepeli (playhouse/ostgut) follows with a properly crafted remix. anyone said chicago? yes, house keeps our heart pumping. this is a dj tool for the discerning selector. on the flip side, the classy joachim spieth (paso/kompakt) is set to deliver…and he delivers, no doubt about it! he shifts the cosiness of the original towards deeper and hypnotic areas turning a house anthem into a techno anthem! to finalise the matter, dubnoodles (milnor modern/rundlauf) pumps fresh energy into his remix with help from a fat bass spiced up with unexpected indie flavoured grooves!

step forward dubfire (aka ali shirazinia from grammy winning dj and production duo deep dish) whos already hit top form this summer with some tasty releases on desolat, funkwelle.net and whose thumping >emissions< features on the minus compilation >expansion contraction<. the beauty of this rework is that it doesnt stray far from the original vibe. dubfire pays the track the full respect it deserves, adding contemporary beats, bass and hat patterns, subliminal efx and tweaks that perfectly compliment the eq sweeps and machine gun snare rolls of the original. panikattack (originally released on plus 8 in 1996 as the b side to sickness) gets a more radical overhaul with guido schneider turning in a typically pragmatic version. by excavating and enhancing the gritty funk that lies buried under the feverish textures of the original, he discovers a totally new dimension. combining the plastik elements with his own trademark swing and razor sharp percussion programming, schneider coaxes the track out of the shadows for some serious peak time action as the bassline bounds forward relentlessly occasionally enveloped by stuttering delays, to negotiate its way through the dubbed out breakdown and on to the end

raiders present an awesome electro techno track that starts from a atmoshperic string piece and slowly builds to detroit influenced techno, electro track.. very nice! galaxy 2 galaxy (aka mad mike, underground resistance) who gave the track extra energy by turning this into a classic galaxy 2 galaxy track with the typical knights of the jaguars (mad mike) strings and a smooth funking beat. last version is a stripped down and effective los hermanos mix

lush 7 follow! constructed around a strutting bassline the claps, castanets, rise & cymbal lines interact to great effect. like a fine wine, k drive & ginman give the track time to breathe before slowly turning the screw. increasing the tension and expanding the room in a wash of metallic reverb! simplicity is the key as each sound cuts like a warm knife through the butter. reactions are huge on both killer tracks so have it large!

next up from fear of flying we have pawas, originally from india and now based in cologne. pawas is currently in a bit of a groove on the production front with releases on adam krolls excellent squonk label and also with an ep forthcoming on germanys flash records with good friend daso. title track >playtex< is a twisting and turning groove through the deeper echelons of minimalism, very fx heavy with wibbles, whooshs and tripped out noises aplenty. one for the >hazy< moments on the dance floor with its hypnotic groove bound to lock them in until the early hours. >nylon< delivers a summertime injection in the form of an upliftingslice of niceness...
