next up in studio barnhus split coloured 10 inch series (the previous installment was acid andy and axel boman on yellow vinyl) is handsome newcomer hnny and barnhus very own desperado kornel kovacs. on the a side, hnny takes a saccharine rnb cover of perhaps the greatest power ballad ever and turns it into a perfect little edit – as simple as it is inspired, this is an obvious end-of-the-night-turn-the-lights-up-in-the-club-anthem if we ever heard one. on the logo side, kornel kovacs brings the heat with down since 92 - a bass-driven, vocal-laced pop house song about hate, love and jealousy. break it down! red vinyl, no digital - limited to 300 copies worldwide. barnhus bang the party once again! freshness.

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

edit king leo zero returns with something very special to kick off a new run of no frills dancefloor bombs that have been tried and tested over the summer on a packed worldwide dj schedule from stockholm to tokyo and beyond. first up is an intensive slice and dice exercise on probably the best track from definitely the best band in the world: the clash. leo takes their most disco friendly outing >the maginificent dance< famously spun by mr levan at the garage - and with the more dubby rare levan version he homes in on looped 1 bar sections, skating along to create a new arrangement - added to the brew are bootleg recordings form the clashes infamous live show at nycs bonds ballroom, and even some baseline demos digitally siphoned from people practicing guitar along to the clash on youtube!….. we are left with is an epic labour of love edit that has already found its way into the a-listers record boxes - from derrick carter to laurent garnier who are all spinning this solid as a rock dub disco bomb. on the flip we have a classy house re-work of al hudson & partners >music< which sticks a chi-town kick and snare up its rear end along with some serious sub bass, and in the middle things get all wobbly with some trademark leo zero space echo rides and before we are quickly warped back-in and onto the floor… big with a load of top jocks too including severino of horse meat disco fame.

mrk1 is back with some vocal dubstep bangers featuring the vocal talents of doctor who has previously worked with the likes of cotti and others in the grime world. these tunes are set to blow speakers worldwide, dont sleep on these anthem stylee!

stepping out of the shadows in 2007 when just sixteen years old, jokers stock has risen dramatically since. aided by him releasing defining cuts like >digidesign<, >the vision (let me breathe)< and >tron<, he now finds himself thick in the recent resurgence of british electronic music. bbc radio 1s zane lowe premiered >here come the lights< in late july on his coveted hottest record in the world radio spot. moreover joker premiered most of his new albums tracks at the glastonbury festival this past summer, just one stop during a busy summer of worldwide festival performances. with the world traveled and a deal with 4ad signed, he is finally ready to appease his waiting public and release his debut album, the vision. prior to that though, album tracks >here come the lights< featuring silas of turboweekend and >my trance girl<, are being released on a purple coloured double a-side 12 inch.

killekills next release comes from snuff crew, a crew you might and should have heard about. snuff crews mission is to bring back the fun on the dancefloors worldwide. the masked duo is known for their jacking live shows that combine the raw energy of early chicago and acid house with a fresh and modern sound. rumour has it that they come from >somewhere in germany<, but their sounds draw a very heavy influence from the original acid house city of chicago alongside italo-disco and old school techno flavours. the use of old school roland boxes as sound sources and almost non existent use of even basic effects means their sound is rough, raw and aimed squarely at the dancefloor. their records have been released on labels like skylax, gigolo records, rush hour, playhouse and many more, but the two guys also run their own imprint called snuff trax where they release music of jackmates like kink and neville watson as well as their own tracks and collaborations with artists such as legendary robert owens. thats enough for now with the name dropping. killekill has got a lot of great exclusive material from the guys but decided to release only two very strong and distinctive tracks for now: domo on the one side is a proper acid monster that will go down on dancefloors worldwide like a hurricane and leave the dancers breathless. eat this on the other side is a rudimentary chicago jack track that might well have been taken off a dance mania record from 1992. this track is working its way with nothing but a few drum tracks and a vocal sample and is pure raw sexual energy.

what do you call musicians like com truise? he seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like nostalgia, synth-wave, eighties, and electro-funk and you will scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. how do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern? awesome is an option. especially when it sounds like you are driving the knight rider car through thick clouds of nitrous oxide, like >fairlight<, the title track from truises new single, which previously appeared on an iso50 comp called dry waves and also has this jarring, falling-all-over-itself middle section that prevents you from trancing out too hard. >beta eyes<, the track that follows, is even more restless, with a drum pattern that is fidgety and clustered, kicks and snares fighting each other like two drum and bass heads arguing over an atari remote. >polyhurt<, a narcotic, almost ballad-like closer that inevitably leaves you thinking, >now, how the hell am i going to describe that to someone?< the vinyl exclusive cut >colorvision< could be truises most dancefloor friendly track yet.
limited to 500 units worldwide (200 in europe).

it has been quite some time, since farside records presented new music from herb lf. after his successful releases on labels like circus company, soulprint, supafeed& of course his biggest farside joints like >sunliner< or >fruchtalarm<, herb lf now teams up with belgrades finest radio dj petko aka petkovski. petkovski is best known from his playground radio show with listeners worldwide and its beautiful eclectic selection of just good music. together they introduce >lullaby for rastko<, an astonishing ep full of deepness and wonderful music

some may have thought the trail was cold, but battant (chloe raunet and joel dever) have just been running as far as they can. not running away from something, just keeping on moving. from the headless wave of their first lp, towards the strange shores of their second album, as i ride with no horse that is produced by its a fine line (aka ivan smagghe & tim paris) and will be released worldwide in october 2011. first glimpse: shutter. this is one of the many places where they now stand. a dry, sparse yet catchy romp. on their own edge (between early cure and meth country if you need ready made tags), electronics still dance in the corner, reigned in by the sharp its a fine line (tim paris & ivan smagghe) production. the live take of clearcut is what it says. ghosts in the machines, spookiness never in vain, this is a real song. the idea of a cover of westbam and nenas classic old school, baby had been in the mind of the team for a while. this track is a part of our history. not an easy tackle but we like to think they have made the anthem theirs. going beyond the anecdote, here is a seriously rocking wink with early support from optimo, james holden, tiga, chloe and more.

hand stamped and numbered - limited to 300 copies worldwide!
given the challenges of todays music market, its a fairly bold statement for an indie label to come out of the box with not one, but two vinyl only releases by an artist with no profile to speak of, but here black light smoke proves worthy of the faith being placed in him. sat001 switchback/black stripe is all old school drum machines, tape-hiss, heavy footed disco kicks, acid-a-plenty and funk-to-spare, but the tracks transcend the rawness of their roots to achieve a modern, club-ready edge with retro flair.

hand stamped and numbered - limited to 300 copies worldwide!
on sat002 lovework/decisions, black light smoke shows off his pop sensibilities with two sing-a-long summer anthems-in-the-making. lovework is a no-wave-inspired ditty littered with catchy analog synths, an ass-shakin bassline and reverbed claps juxtapozed with a haunting processed vocal from the producer himself that repeats, >you made a mess of my head. now i gotta put it all back together. theres nothing to say, over and over…< which is how this tune will be playing in your head after one listen. on the flip we get a taste of black light smoke in deep house mode with decisions, a lustrous and vibey joint that features a sweeter vocal by suavecito, a new guise of dj/producer and vocalist who is well known by another name. here more analog synths produce wickedly buoyant bass lines and swirling pads that combine with bubbly piano stabs and little vocal sample/edits for what sounds like it could have been a naked music release had the label been operating in 1990.

djing and producing together since 2005, deep space orchestra (chris barker and si murray) have releases on a number of heavyweight labels and regular guest appearances at club nights and radio shows throughout the uk and rest of the world. recent highlights include being asked to record a guest mix for gilles petersons highly influential worldwide show and an upcoming mix for michael ruettens soulsearching show. they also run the use of weapons record label, which, although only two releases old, is already gathering much praise. deep space orchestra releases appear on delusions of grandeur, art, winding road, home taping is killing music, use of weapons and soon instruments of rapture, drumpoet community or tracky bottoms too. yes, these guys are hot!

rob sparxs original mix kicks off with a funky 2-step riddim, layered with soulful guitar licks, penetrating synths and some extra deep bass to get you moving. the tune progresses into a super-funky, filtered disco beat leading into a high-energy buildup that will have any crowd going nuts. the drop combines beautiful haunting vocals, brain-rattling bass and sexy synth stabs in a >purple< fashion that has already made an impact on dancefloors worldwide. not to be taken lightly, this ones a heavy-hitter and still maintains its class!

russian label highway records run by mike spirit presents 12th release by modul project from krasnodar. after several appearances on well-known european labels harthouse, ostwind, level, 3rd wave and pro-tez, evgeny shchukin and alexander tochilkin deliver for highway two new intelligent tracks full of quirky melodies and analogue warmth - >keegan< and >farwalker<. first remix is produced by get physicals breakthrough artist siopis perfectly known for his collaborations with m.a.n.d.y., thomas schumacher, matt tolfrey, pierce or daniel steinberg. second remix is made by francois dubois (also known as funk d void) - worldwide-known artist releasing his tracks and remixes on such labels as soma, urbantorque, plastic city, om, freerange and his very own outpost recordings to name a few. we put all these ingredients together and get massive 4-tracker which will stay in djs bags for a long time.

further to motor city drum ensembles dj kicks compilation, his exclusive single l.o.v.e. has been reworked by the young detroit prodigy kyle hall, the painter and music creator wolfgang voigt and an excellent remix by smallpeople. kyle has been highly influenced and captivated by the underground deep house sound of detroit. inspired by artists such as theo parrish, mike huckaby, rick wade, 3 chairs, kdj and omar s, who believe their music has a certain feeling of the advant garde and liberation from the so-called rules people place upon dance music. kyle took that principle of their music and applied it to music that he was trying to create. wolfgang voigt is known for his numerous, nearly inexhaustible list of one-off projects and aliases. of these, his best known is arguably >gas< a project that saw the marriage of ambient music and 4/4 techno. his remix of motor citys l.o.v.e shows his minimalistic approach to music he has been famed for worldwide. smallpeople are julius steinhoff & just von ahlefeld aka dionne. smallpeople are focused on a wider range of music and can be diverse- between deep house, detroit techno and some chicago flavours but always within the balance of atmospheric warmth and club suitability bringing yet another perfect addition to this remix package. watch out for more big tunes from smallpeople in the near future

in 2010, as the first genetic bros tunes started to surface, there was an inevitable scramble for his signature. with a record of nurturing talent such as shockone, dc breaks, metrik, camo & krooked and nero, it was an easy decision to join the roster at futurebound’s visionary label viper recordings who signed genetic bros to an exclusive worldwide deal.
with his first track for viper featuring on 2010s >summer slammers< compilation whetting the appetite, genetic bros now releases his debut single for the label, and the sheer quality of his production means russia dont have to wait any longer for their first worldwide star of drum and bass. that artist has arrived. that artist is genetic bros.

hamiltons debut single on ram records is simply massive. having already released two huge 12 inches on frequency and the immense >soundboy<, a track released as part of andy cs nightlife 5, it comes as no surprise that brainstorm and echoes have already conquered dance floors worldwide and is a firm favourite in the sets of andy c, chase & status, hype, bailey, sub focus and fresh to name but a few. brainstorm leads in gently with rolling percussion, building up the suspense until the winding bass and scattered drum beats kick in to create a smasher that all will want hear again and again.

if the doorman fronts like he dont know you... tell him that youre with the dj whether he is friend or foe, the nightmaker or the night-breaker, the mythical nightclub doorman is a universal figure of influence for clubbing fans worldwide. dj nibc, the berlin-based, gothenburg-born dj, producer and trunkfunk records label owner and vocalist anthony mills pay tongue-in-cheek tribute yet also take him to task with their energetic workout >the doorman<. capturing the anticipation, anguish and unpredictability of conversations held on the threshold of clubland, a hapless and faceless figure is ready to rave, and is unleashed via a processed vocal over a tightly-wound acid tech beat. a buzzing twonote bassline and pummelling drums set the stomping

leaving in their wake a trail of mass seduction, the wolf + lamb crew are back from their recent worldwide dj kicks tour, bestowing two of the sonic jewels that lit up those clubs, rooftops and basements. main players gadi mizrahi, soul claps eli goldstein and greg paulus of no regular play, impart the w + l effect with the >lucky paul remixes< courtesy of somethinksounds. while gadi mizrahi & zev eisenberg of wolf + lamb are in no small part responsible for the sexy slo-mo revolution in rnb and disco inltrated house music, they cannot be accused of languishing in the hype of their own movement or direction in sound. instead, the label is backing a seemingly endless stream of talent in north america and beyond, consistently unearthing and nurturing artists that share the same ethos and intrinsic approach to creating timeless music that is not built to rush, and dissipate but drive into your soul and set up home there. here, the new collaborative case in point is berlin resident and new zealand native lucky paul

in just a matter of months, life and death has swiftly established itself as purveyors of quality contemporary dance music, made by artists who would undoubtedly make anyone s short list of who i d like to invite to my afterparty . it seems only fitting then that with their newest release they ve recruited the undisputed kings of late night mayhem and madness for a paen tribute to that beautiful party after the party, the continuation of all things good and twisted.. the afterparty itself. not to take the issue of such a joyful celebration lightly, dop has gone on secret missions over the last 6 months, quietly (and often not so quietly) infiltrating afterparties worldwide and secretly extracting pituitary secretions from the rowdiest party goers at each of them. they then took these secretions, burned them in a special voodoo ceremony and immediately went into the studio to create a fitting tribute to the after-hours festivities we all hold so dear. once that was complete, friends were invited and even more deviants came to the party for some dirty late night remix action. clockwork (who s recently released it s you again on hot creations has already been the soundtrack to many an after party) are here, french wolf+lamb collaborator le loup is here, mas collective (who recorded on seminal nyc label strictly rhythm) is here and marius & david are here too.. everybody giving it their own special flavor. what an afterparty indeed.

nice price deal !!! the music of the cologne based duo kitbuilders can be described as electro with scifi-punkrock-energy and a grebo edge. a remarkable element in the tracks are the vocals of female singer ripley. in the kitbuilders-cosmos you will also find the sparks in their moroderphase, chris and cosey, neu and devo. but their music is not 80s retro stuff, they include a lot of futuristic and fresh elements in their songs. after a handful of 12 inch singles and compilation appearances on labels like electrecord, world electric, vertical and ersatz audio, >wake up< was the debut full length from the duo. the us magazine xlr8r called it >...an excellent hybrid of the past and present<. alongside american outfits like adult. and fischerspooner, kitbuilders are at the forefront of the worldwide electro revolution. equal parts moroder and liquid sky, the duo of benway and ripley fluctuate between adrenaline-rush bpm 909 beats, fluttering sci-fi arpeggiations and tense, sinister moodiness.
