“the elixir is the essence of being able to control your future with elements of both the past and present. i live through my music only to progress towards a better day.” - aaron rose
after shedding his former pseudonym of a la $ole, pro era member aaron rose dropped a number of noteworthy singles and killed every guest feature. but with the release of his new ep, ‘elixir,’ the brooklyn rapper has never sounded more focused or motivated, and it’s only a taste of what’s to come from the young artist.

repress of this sought after tribute of richard james by the bulgarian genius. including 12 additional locked grooves. expect some nervous beats, sci-fi textures, acid basslines and raw energy from kink.

keepin the legacy, it could be our motto here at hizou and it is certainly what we humbly try to achieve with all of our music. which makes it the perfect title for this our fifth release, a various artists affair featuring four producers from two continents with one aim: quality house music inspired by the classic sounds we love from chicago, detroit and new york.

in the 1970s the american composer henry flynt started a series of pieces under the title >new american ethnic music<. in so doing he worked together native styles of music such as blues, country or hillbilly with electronic production methods to make something altogether new. so far in germany it has never been attempted to rework folklore electronically for a compilation. however, this picture changes if one redefines the idea of who the population is. incomers have brought new >national anthems< to germany, which means - even the portuguese fado, the african gnawa, the croatian klapa or the vietnamese quan ho are these days at home in germany. with the cultural project >heimatlieder aus deutschland< (native songs from germany) founded by former spex editor mark terkessidis and label manager jochen kühling all the various styles of traditional folk music now found in germany has been collected. thirteen of the songs recorded for the project have now been transformed by contemporary electronic producers to present a >new german ethnic music<. but why remixes? for one thing electronic music has recently focused a lot on the past (ghost music, hypnagogic pop etc.) – electronic editing is well suited to follow the effects of the immigrant music which the >imaginary national anthems< has created. furthermore the projects instigators were curious how >electronic musicians< would handle folk music and folk songs which is a hugely difficult task. to this end artists were sought out who could get along with the idea of each music style and who are known to already have experimented with the human voice. the results are as varied as the music styles and djs involved. some melodies remain completely intact while others are abstracted beyond recognition. margaret dygas associative approach ensured that she presents a polish song about a girls arranged marriage with a claustrophobic feeling. with his remix of the marrabenta of mozambique mark ernestus has continued the rhythmic experiments he is known for with jeri jeri. thomas mahmoud translated gnawa into dub and finaly ulrich schnauss turned the song of the italian chorus of >donni so< into a hymn for the horizon-expanding power of migration.hopefully this compilation will also expand some horizons.

pilot, guitarist, dj, producer, autodidact, comedian are just a few words to describe the workaholic and house-fetishist dayne s. he is ranked as one of the upcoming deep house talents for sure ... in 2012, he grew up quickly and released tracks on labels like noir music, suara, witty tunes, microzoo and kittball. his affinity to the blues now sums up in an ep, which represents what he always wanted to create, a mixture of pure blues-feeling and a catchy groove for the floors.

after a long silence, soulution makes its come back with yet another top notched production from allen hoist, gorgeous vocals, splendid instrumentation..another true house music record gracing our page this week. a must have !!! allen hoist >you ll never know< - swell session version - dan electro version - back to the roots version

slammin soulful tracks?incl remixes by 4 hero, greg gauthier & tony l!!!!

experimental electronic journey!
