after 7 years of chart topping hits covering an array of genres, pleasurekraft have announced the release of their debut album friends, lovers, & other constellations

kraftek is very proud to present a special edition limited vinyl pressing featuring 2 brand new remixes from label heads pleasurekraft. on the a-side, the track that first put pleasurekraft on the map and now revered as one of the all-time classics of tech house, “tarantula”. after several initial vinyl pressings all of which sold out when it first came out in 2010- this marks the first time the track is available on vinyl again. however, the real jewel in the crown here is the boys new techno take on their original. darker, harder, and meaner, the ‘7 year itch rework’ marks the 7 year anniversary of the track and showcases the musical evolution of the duo as they have gone from strength to strength, having embraced a much tougher techno sound which has brought them the enthusiastic support of icons like carl cox, adam beyer, nicole moudaber, kolsch & more. on the flip side, american techno producer charles duff aka matrixxman has seen a meteoric rise in just a few short years. from the early crosstown rebels days to matthew dear’s spectral to now being a cornerstone of the dekmantel family, here he gets his track -the spell- a steroid injected remix from pleasurekraft. while the beautiful ethereal hook of the original remains intact, the drums and new supporting synth lines make for a behemoth of a canvas for the lead to shine on. we are very proud to present this special limited edition kraftek vinyl series vol 2.

after scoring one of 2010 s biggest anthems with the ubiquitous tarantula, pleasurekraft return with another irresistible, charismatic big room groove – already counting plays from the uk s biggest tastemakers, radio 1 s pete tong and annie mac. galloping beats and off-beat bass do battle in mischievous fashion on this colourful cut, with synth brass, cheeky little stabs, electro leads, organ chords and plucked motifs taking it in turns to fill in the gaps around the killer groove and keep your attention hooked. it s all topped off with another one of their distinctive, otherworldly, gated vocals, and taken to the nth level with big builds and bold flourishes of energy. the result is an infectious, fist-pumping delight which will surely be one of 2011 s most memorable moments, and that once again shows this duo to be two of house & tech music s most innovative talents. on the remix front, hungary s jay lumen continues his fine run of form that has seen him release on labels such as 100% pure and kling klong with a percussive, funk-laced workout that drops us somewhere between filter house and groovy techno, with rolling fills and big throbs of bass. label boss rainer weichhold teams up with heartik on the other remix, taking a bit more of a “re-edit” approach, keeping plenty of the original s flavour intact and marrying it to rolling, incessant tech house beats for more of a consistent ride

every once in a while you get a track, that due to its killer hook and dancefloor presence goes on to become a smash hit. well people, edu imbernon s eklektisch are about to unleash this years first, in tarantula. incl. remixes by hugo and uner. supported & played by sasha & digweed, laurent garnier, mark knight, deetron, x-press 2, sharam, anja schneider, danny howells, layo & bushwacka, mathias kaden

odd recordings launch their new vinyl series oddwax. within a relative short period the label has managed to gain the attention of dj s and ravers alike - with tracks like pachamama that was championed by carl cox for months, radiate that was played numerous times at bpm festival & awakenings, nagelbett thats been hammered by adam beyer for the last year & oddball (sasha carassi remix) thats caused a riot in ibiza this season with multiple plays from sasha & digweed - all four hits shot up the charts, hammered all over the globe and now for the first time available on vinyl. label heads arjun vagale & ramiro lopez have carefully curated the first in the series
