since 2005 jepe and mrbeat joined forces as johnwaynes, and they are very successful with it. from their first releases up to now, they have produced under the same guise, a widely diverse body of work, from a very diversity house, to full-on orchestra oriented classics, with the occasional drift into the more elegant territories of disco. the new ep house-o-matic continues right there.

africa friends is a tribal-inspired tech-house track with a lot of driving elements. the remix of yapacc however is rather a remixer typical interpretation somewhere between funky minimal and melodic techno. another centerpiece of this ep is the remix of quenum, who founded the imprint cadenza along with luciano a few years ago. as a small gimmick nicolas duvoisin serves an additional groovy track called people dance.

alex flatner is well known for many years, running the very successful underground labels circle music and gedankensport, a&r managing the prolific labels harthouse and plastic city, as well as being a highly regarded dj and producer.

italian dj and producer slok is no stranger to circle music. in 2010 he released his great album rain on circle music after the previous released releases funky finger and freak in 2009. in 2011 he followed up a release on circle music,roccos hard scene incl. a stunning remix by hermanez followed.for his first single in 2012 slok, he invited brothers in crime my favourite robot aka voytek korab, james teej and jared simms from canada to sing the vocals.lately these three guys had a release on life and death and were remixed by art department. on top of this nice package we have subb-an who had a few releases on damian lazarus crosstown rebels or culprit with several hits and finally label mate lopazz from berlins get physical together with his film producer casiocasino.

alex flatners circle recordings is building another bridge to berlin and welcomes rene onze to debut on his mannheim based imprint. known already for his output on areal, his involvement and appearance in berlin calling and most notably for heating up the concerts of the paul kalkbrenner tour 2011 as the official warm up act, onze s flip a switch is an emotional, subtle melodic piece of modern dance electronica. something you will likely give a well-considered play, as its undeniable epic deepness will stand out, regardless of whether its being played on an afterhour, open air, in a warm up session or a prime time set.

the two dutch artists warren fellow and michel steinbach team up again to show what good dance music is. but this time they give their debut on mannheim based label circle music. again they created a unique eclectic mix like they did on their successful cosmic ep in 2009 or together with legendary todd terry with >got a soul< in 2010 where they proved that they are very able to handle house music. on the a side we have some straight beats with classic percussions at the beginning. but very soon fellow and steinbach come around with some synthesizer hook which melody is quoting the nineties. the vocals only brings it down to a round figure.
