the catalog of pink stallone & joey washington singles continues with the arguable gem of their collaborative sessions, mine. the second daniele b & eddie mars co-production, mine exhibits the steady progression of the stallone sludge-funk thump, again fueled by gushing maturity and composure from washington vocals. eddie mars even delivers his own stunningly-authentic production of the stallone/washington sound, marking the first official mars rendition of pink stallone since his inception as a producer and member of the live group. with this comes two workouts by master of the deep the revenge who provides a stripped back timeless dub. one of those tracks that will still sound great in twenty years time. simple and effective with a hint of grandeur. finally wrapping things up are s.a.s (subb-an & adam shelton). following the bumping foot & mouth release earlier this summer we had to ask the boys to give there twist and they sure delivered. acid base and full throttle beats transform >mine< into a jacking dancefloor destroyer, be warned!

hot off the heals of their debut >we hunt buffalo now<, the soft rocks gang dishes out >magic milk<, and utterly sleazy weekend dancefloor monster serving as the second single in the series surrounding their imminent debut album, >the curse of soft rocks<. guest vocals are once again provided by san francisco post-punk hero jorge socarras (vocalist of indoor life and songwriter for patrick cowley). remix duties on side-b are provided this time by washington dcs rising stars the beautiful swimmers. their mid-tempo coconut dub takes the percussive nuances that are deep in the original and made them centerpiece, surrounding it all with loose house instrumentation that oddly achieves a tropical vibe.

deep space orchestra having been forging a nice niche in a modern take on house music, blending, disco, detroit and chicago influences , and here at tracky bottoms, we cottoned on to one of there deepest tracks to date mass illusion about a year ago now ! its taken a while to come to fruition , but the stolen future ep is here . mass illusion it self is probably the track gaining most interest , probably because it has achieved the difficult task of being very deep but also quite anthemic , also featuring on the ep - stolen future harks back to early carl craig vibes , with a ruff ass beat driving the synthy techno , theres a remix of this from label boss toby tobias who takes it in a more loopy chicago vibe and last track witch doctor has ethnic hypnotic quality about it , but with some added dynamics by toby who edits it for maximum dancefloor reaction

summer release for apersonal music comes with the debut of james teej on the barcelona-based imprint. teej, a canadian fine style producer who has been gaining attention in the scene for his complex and personal productions, releasing on labels as rekids, my favorite robot, rebirth, and recently under the aka of the king arms on wolf+lamb. teej now amazes us once more with 2 high caliber bombs for the season, >fame< and >city celebrity<, long and elaborated disco-tech tracks that wont let down his fans nor the audience looking for strong and complex slowmo nudisco & tech-house music. completing the release with the remix from cisco cisco (labels usuals) to >fame< with a sound stronger and more aggressive than what we are used to the portuguese duo, but with out loosing their dreamy-disco characteristic sound

the tribute series unearths yet another slice of musical magic for those special dance floor moments. number 6 in the series, we love rose, captures familiar sounds, but then pushes them out to as yet unexplored territory. rumoured to be the work of an aussie based late nite tuff guy, he has certainly reworked this all time classic into something very special for your ears. cut loud on single-sided heavy vinyl, you can enjoy it on the beach, in the basement, or on any kind of dance floor.

electronic duo cage & aviary are set to release their debut album >migration< on prins thomas internasjonal imprint. part man, part machine, part cockatiel, cage & aviary take flights of fancy whenever they can. jamie paton is a dj, a one-finger keyboardist, and a pot-tickler. nigel of bermondsey is a musician, south londons finest oscillator, and a dedicated dabbler. together they are winners of the cosmic lottery. having put out releases to much acclaim on the ltd editions that are dissident distribution, cage & aviary have since spread their wings with releases on dfa, tiny sticks and astro lab.

sonic underground compiles remixes by the ccc family of up-and-coming indie artists – four floor-ready, mutant hybrids of rock, pop, disco and deep house. belgian firebrand mugwumps rework of cccs own acid snow transforms the acid/no-wave original into a disco-house monster thats earned accolades from the likes of ewan pearson and magda. ivan smagghe calls the remix a no-nonsense record. while some look for experimental arty-ness, some for the big hit, all of this pretending to be underground, mugwump pull out of their sleeves what is properly hard to achieve, a cool big track.in a similar way, the rest of sonic underground explores new combinations of arty edginess and mass appeal. mack winston & the reflections see their swaggering glam-rock transformed by ccc into a deep back-room sex jam thats getting support from the wolf + lamb crew and is featured on soul claps compilation cd for mixmag in february. the flipside highlights remixes by cccs own night plane: with its atmospheric guitar and emo vocals, his take on presssures sounds like if the cure ever showed up on crosstown rebels, and his re-design of fellow new yorker baby alpaca is a dreamy k-hole lullaby, with blissed-out melodies that make it an after-hours snuggle classic.

dj support from: hudson mohawke, spencer (numbers), mary anne hobbs, hxdb, dj ma1 (rinse fm), sbtrkt, subeena, sines, hackman, seiji, xxxy, greenmoney, spatial, deadboy, graphics, ben ufo and more widespread radio support (germany. italy, australia / nz, poland, france...)

belltowers is the mind behind the adventurous and eye opening melbourne club night bamboo musik. he has collaborated on several projects for p.a.m., lovefingers and bumrocks. with his debut release on hits he gives a glimpse into the jungle that is his musical mind. with djs such as lovefingers, thomas bullock and canyons playing this, you know this is essential!

massive versions by detroits theo parrish and burnt friedman!
theo roars into a fierce, uglier-than-ugly edit, with no let-up for thirteen minutes, when it crashes to a standstill: a hurtling, mesmerizing ride, multi-layered and clustered with synth washes, bleeps and alarms, galloping drums, clattering percussion.burnts shangaan variation is perforce more chilled, lithe, reverberating. the drums are crafted and fatback, with moody vocal interjections and haunting keys, chocka with dub thrills and spills, lethally spiked with bass.

the 2 bears debut album be strong has been a revelation. the hirsute duo made up of joe goddard of hot chip & raf rundell aka the raf daddy have made a record that has touched people from many a different musical and cultural background. their roots of course, lay in house music and its that genre that essentially defines the 2 bears. so it only felt right that they released a 12 inch with exquisite remixes of one of the 2 bears original musical outputs, be strong!

following on from chubby dubz >direct experience< which is already creating a storm our in house legend trevor loveys is back with a 4 tracker which is sure to keep attention on loungin. partnering with the king of samples jaycei, the man who can name any classic track in one, this e.p. delivers something for everyone.

alex and bill met 16 years ago when bill signed one of alex s first productions (is this the rhythm? by rhythmnvibe) to a new york label he was running. alex, whose father lives in the us, was a regular visitor to the states and they sent many happy hours together hanging out at the sound factory bar and comparing maw dubs. when bill returned to the uk in 1996, they had a few sessions together making house music, though neither of them can remember why they never finished anything or, indeed, what became of the tracks. fast forward a few years and they finally got back into the studio to make sweet music together under the moniker hotel motel. since then they have created a rich seam of work that some have already described as, like salvador dali with his pants down being fellated by deirdre barlow. few would disagree.

knowing looks kicked off 2011 for wncl recordings with with his much loved, hard stepping abandoned skip, backed with the acclaimed symphonic masterpiece that was last kiss at the plains hotel. jason hopfner is back again to neatly tie up a busy year at wncl hq, unveilling the classically constructed epic listen to my 45 - described by ben ufo as >lovely. gorgeous. slick. buff etc< … and who are we to disagree. just do what it says on the tin, then flip over for ghost baby - yet another fine example from hopfners rich and varied production cannon, melding super cool minimalism with party breaks. merry christmas from the cassette library!

so we went predominanlty stateside for our last outing, and decided to bring things back home this time. hoya003 is a strictly uk affair. opening up on the a-side is one of rudest producers and djs the uk has going for it. this aint a comment on her manners though, they are as impeccable as her production. after ikonika sent us a zip of some hoya potentials, we just knew >fleas< had to be the one featured on this 12 inch. a more sinister, rolling, emotional jam, it still packs as much as punch as ikonikas dj sets. kicking off the b-side is the homie om unit. now, this guy … this guy. are there any superlatives left to desribe his sonic masterpieces that have rocked too many dancefloors and had as many producers scratching their heads and re-assessing their mix-downs? an instant favourite, >fibonnaci 10< was one of the earliest cuts lined up for a release and when you listen you will see why. this guy. seriously. bringing things to a close, we hand over to one of our favourites from the flourishing cardiff scene. why doesnt monky have more music out? is one of those questions that has been asked too many times for our liking. so much so, we may have to take it upon ourselves to change that. but, for now, just enjoy >hipster<. a killer synth-laden nod to early ukg, but looking forward as opposed to sideways. enjoy.

following up his massive >theme< on numbers comes the second outing from slackk, backed by the debut release from hervey jenkins.
slackks >synthetic< on the a side is a bumpy house track boasting a strong sub bass and shuffling hi-hats. meanwhile hervey jenkins brings classic uk garage sounds with >steelo< on the b side, with swinging 2-step drums and soulful vocals, this verson is exclusive to the vinyl release. this release has been receiving support from brackles, jackmaster, blackdown, blawan, dubbel dutch & hackman.

incl jacques renault mix !!

this is a welcome return from sheffield-based producer grievous angel who has been known for his slew of edits and live remixes - whether it be grime, dancehall, house or uk funky. having done this for keysound label-mates dusk & blackdown as well as random re-works of productions from artists like wiley (check 2009s ice rick refix under the alias of bubblez), grievous angel has got an eye for recycling existing ideas but is no slouch when it comes to his original productions either.

including derrick carter remix !!

jose rico and dj f are responsible for the second release of eleve label, two of the heads of the madrilian emergent scene of producers. the synths and sequences of 5 minute before and la verdad show that dj f is partial to detroits flavours, specially robert hood, among many others. for the last track, out of the energy, he builds together with jose rico a gem of atmospheric analogue house with claps that remind to chicago. a productive collaboration that has just started off with this release along with freebeat 02.

limited release comes with great poster and cool uv paint stamp one the lables .. very openminded .. cool

>a favorite of drunk djs, hot chicks and laser lovers everywhere<
san franciscos hometown stars tigercat get the disco rerub from uk legend greg wilson, and bi-coastal beard scratchers nick chacona & anthony mansfield. seduced by the sultry vocals of banging’ hot front woman natasha adorlee johnson, weighed down coaxes you off your bar stool and onto the dance floor. greg’s mix stays true to the original vibe with a taste of his signature disco dub complete with a tasty break. on the flip side nick and anthony take take you on a journey through the kind of deep, primal, electro underground party you emerge from 2 days later. hector works is coming at yah with thwacking beats, jamming treats and maybe even a cord progression.

fresh jackin / tech house with jay tripwire remix

you may have listened to fred de f productions with recent dance artists collaborations (adi-ermane - need each other, fred de f & luke jeferson - sankukai). new release cloud is still marked with fred de f touch and a distingtive radioactif musical flavor.
fred de f original version is progressive, ultra-bumping, inspired from spanish soundings. the version releases body-heat and energy. great track for dancefloors. tom donax composes an aerial remix and explores a different universe: breakbeat soundings, vocal inspired from the nineties and presence of pads break the rhythmic bringing the record a nice equilibrium. cool version for a home listening.

1st sampler from >souls back again< compilation

our favorite usa artist >strategy< finally returned with two excellent alternative house tracks!! a side, >the fixer<is unique mixture of dubby house and kind of italo disco sound. if you like the music of caribous daphni or four tet, you will like this song. b side, >another rain< is like a kraut rock oriented house meets thomas fehlmann. its for the fan of four tet or prins thomas or lo soul.

the debut release of swedish artist combo (he is half of s.u.m.o. which is well known as jazzy house artist in the beginning of 2000). probably some people know his excellent edit of robert hood >minus<. the title track of a side is modern beatdown house with the emotional piano loop sound. if you like the release of the revenge or mark e, you will like this song. b1 is an old school house version of the title track and >uptown< on b2 is early new york house sound.

south londoner jessie ware has already cemented herself as one of the freshest talents to emerge from the uk underground. the last couple of years have seen jessie collaborating with some of the most respected producers on the electronic spectrum. jessie caused waves throughout the scene in 2010 when she lent her vocals to masked producer sbtrkt for his fantastically catchy and squelchy track nervous. this year she melted hearts with sampha on the hauntingly romantic track valentine and most recently worked with bristol dubstep producer joker on his ominous and thunderous lead single the vision

12 inch auskopplung aus dem gang colours debütalbum mit drei killer-neuinterpretationen: machinedrum beschleunigen das original mit atmosphärischen breakbeats, der heiss gehandelte ifan dafydd betritt untergeschössige dub-gefilde, und deft entwickelt aus einem sanften, hypnotischen groove ein dramatisches crescendo aus schillernden synths.

the see it through ep is the debut release from kris le vay. the eponymous a side is the most dance floor orientated track, with kicking drums and a driving, melodic bass line guaranteed to get the crowd moving. its also an awesome headphone experience, with involved, complex percussive elements that keep the ear interested and euphoric breakdowns that truly pull at the heartstrings. the b1, entitled melt, is a cheeky little number that bounces around with plenty of polyrhythm. the counterpoint between the deep bass and twinkling top melody leads to the unconventional, yet mesmerising breakdown. the release is rounded off by one hot ride, which is one hot track! starting with ominous dark synths that spin themselves into a stomping hip-hop tempo beat, this anthemic rich blend of sound winds itself up from a menacing introduction on an exhilarating journey through a complex and intricate soundscape. limited to 300 colour vinyl.

youre about to feel (again) why every record ka§par does for groovement takes a while to be released. simply because special things need time to emerge. after whatchadoos underground buzz hes been intensely working in the studio, readying his most mature record yet. inspired by the great masters and their legacy, ka§par pushes himself towards the future with his own galactic sound palette. ode to the ancients ep is certainly his most accomplished, consistent and authorial work to date

after few months of research the rks duo is now ready for a new sound experience.
back in the day is the way and the house funky producers based in berlin are trying to do it compromiseless. >sunny moments< is a complete deep house raw track, the sweet voice that comes from the past works in a loveliness drum machine game with a synth that runs like the detroit school teaches!
>the dancer from san francisco< is a short funk gem that hits the brain and makes you move your feets, the samples play well, like the rks production wants!
>there was summer< is a detroit minded track, the pad play into an hypnotic synth game, a flight into space, a complete hi-tech experience.

4 versions of >shake< from little boots, delivered on heavyweight vinyl in black cardboard sleeve with golden print. great music in one classy package.

recorded in late 2010 and mixed in a remote studio during the finnish snowstorms of early 2011, donky pitch present >the trick ep<, by helsinki resident and skweee pioneer v.c. six original tracks of synth soaked computer funk, electro inspired slow jams and colourful hip hop heaters. v.c. has been making moves in the skweee scene since the early days (as a solo artist and as 1/4 of supergroup yt). his combination of layered synths, hip hop beats and that type of funk only found in the cold reaches of the nordic region have scored him releases on every skweee label going (flogsta danshall / harmnia / mssy / ddpop / disques mazout) as well as ramp recordings. we felt it only right that he commanded our first true foray into the scandinavian electro funk sound of skweee.

italian producer simone fedi, hailing from tuscany, takes things to a whole new level on this third release on eskimo recordings. >bitter devotion< is a vocal pop gem with a balearic tinge, but its bittersweet vocals and the addictive melody will haunt you. for this tune fedi, a multi-instrumentalist with a knack for pop music and a soft spot for vintage gear, joined forces with a mysterious singer named lola rent, and this turns out to be a winning team.
bitter devotion comes with a rather spectacular remix package, ewan pearson (known from his remix work for goldfrapp, chemical brothers, hot chip, moby, franz ferdinand and depeche mode to name a few) gave it the royal treatment. as an additional treat, welcome stranger aka thomas bullock (rub n tug, laughing light of plenty, map of africa, whatever we want records) has indulged in a psychedelic >bitter devotion< dub, analogue and live... just the way we like it.

after the success of dave armstrong & redroche feat h boogie love has gone, redroche has pulled together with a smashing tune titled give u more. think daft punk on steroids. already being championed by the likes of axwell, the dons, kris menace & stonebridge to name afew. expect this one to go the distance. this is just gonna want you screaming give me more!!!!

&#8206,,mindshift records releases trouble7, with tracks by trevor vichas, avondale music society and jon mcmillion plus a remix by murdoc. enjoy!

scratcha dva has come up with probably the finest match between album title and music in the history of the universe. >pretty ugly< is what it is - sweet and sour, blaring and lush, rough and smooth. the man is a genius.

dean sunshine smith does it again with the first release of 2012. number 3 in the globally successful sunshine reworks series. this time he re-ignites the classic mid tempo soul shuffler oh honey by 70s british soul group delegation. pitching things up and reworking the vocals to create an infectious slice of soulful sunshine deep house sweetness!! track two and we keep the soul with an edge of funk as dean takes us on a love odyssey. reworking & re-interpreting the classic t-connection weekender anthem. this is a new version that intentionally pays homage to the original but also reconstructs the vocals to give the tune a new twist and creating a killer deep house floorfiller. as always this release has some big support from some of the scenes key players. another sure fire slice of sunshine magic from the soulshare records stable and this wonderful series.

with the latest album from dance producer hans-peter lindstrøm, norways latest entry in the space race has been launched out of the wooded outskirts of oslo. six cups of rebel, lindstrøms fourth solo album, is a super-sized cosmic disco rocket that burns up a galaxy of eclectic influences in its wake, from bach to deep purple, from prog rock and arpeggiator disco to acid house, while sounding sleek and utterly contemporary. he may worship at the temple of godlike european djs from the 80s like daniele baldelli and beppe loda, but the relentless, occasionally monumental scale of six cups of rebel has the power to move mountains all by itself.
double 12 inch in gatefold cover, cd-version of this album included.

after a handful of smashing remixes and compilation features on nang records, lusty zanzibar returns to the fold with a cracking solo effort named the >the feeling ep.< title track is a spaced out exercise in immersive square-wave programming, reminiscent of the pre-internet computer gaming age when colours were 8-bit and vivid, and soundtracks were hyper-colour opuses. the complex synth work is underpinned by a driving beat with ethereal vocal wisps and crystalline pads. nice. the first of three remixes for >the feeling< comes from ilya santana, with his >celestial version<, and celestial it is indeed! a picturesque scene is set, the rhythm is wound back and a super laid back vibe allows the vocal line >remember how you are feeling< to sit more purposefully in the mix, alongside the tip-toeing bass line and often euphoric chords. up next comes the max essa dub version, introducing some arp-synth subtleties, replacing the main vocal hook to great effect. to finish we have a mix from fear of theydon who brings a touch of arpeggiated femininity and tasteful woodblock percussion to the table. its a fulfilling yet sultry up-beat journey.

kill kill is the name of the last ep of wat, resulting from the electro rock odyssey wonder. a video clip, filmed in los angeles, accompanies the output of the song, with remy cayuela (one more prod) at the helm. the track, electro tinged funk and hip-hop, sounds like the soundtrack of a rebounding road movie. kill kill is an indirect reference to movies from the 60’,s, and among others, those of russ meyer. faster pussycat kill kill, does it ring a bell?
support by : bbc radio1, larry tee, le mouv , steve aoki (dim mak), far too loud, radio nova, dj mag spain, maelstrom...

a relatively recent partnership, harkin & raney draws from years and years spent lost in music. steve raney (known to many as oneauff) came to nyc in 2005 with ten years of djing already under his belt. it was shortly thereafter that he connected with eamon harkin, an irish-born dj who’s become a central figure in the city’s party scene thanks to his hugely influential club nights fun, prime time, mister saturday night, and sunday best.

do you like discooo? lexy teams up with czech/australian team shades of gray (beef records, om records, boxer) for a real house moenster ep.

first release for feast records, made by toronto based sean roman, backed up with remixes by manik and waifs & strays.

following the critically acclaimed opus that was the wurst music ever album comes the remix package for native undergrounds boogie pop masterpiece, push 4 love. while the album boasted a cover version from none other than midnight magic whose take channeled the spirit of arthur russell, both runaway and in flagrantis reworkings are aimed squarely at the dancefloor.

his single comes to people that make the music records from one of house musics most eminent production teams: first ibiza lady alla farmer, mateo & matos and ukrainian singer and producer vincent inc, chris gray from deep4life, jazzy house veteran john crockett and uplifting deep king brendan mccarthy aka aquatherium. though not stereo-typically their style, this set of tunes give good credence to their soft house music production ability. they set the scene for sounds entering as a funky bassline, squealy guitar riff, and classic 4/4 drum loop. john remix consist mainly of dubby bubbly conga rhythms, cosmic chords, floaty synths, musical saw tones and a nice rubbery bassline. aquatherium remix is pure non-intrusive, house music that is great for the sunset beach session or even the roller disco! chris & alla made eclectique deep house which is just a dope! the remixed single tracks have been mixed together to give it a beefy blend that would be perfect for the floor of many poorly lit dance dwellings. people that make the music has stepped forward with a brilliant ep of insatiable grooves.

we are pleased to announce that one of our favourite producers justus köhncke has finally given in to the constant barrage of requests to work with us. yes, welcome to the rank of nang cosmonauts justus. he has kindly agreed to work on a new artist album for us for release in late 2011 / 2012 but in the time being we just had to pop the mans cherry and get some köhncke-tunage released on nang.

the 2 bears debut album be strong has been a revelation. the hirsute duo made up of joe goddard of hot chip & raf rundell aka the raf daddy have made a record that has touched people from many a different musical and cultural background. their roots, of course lay in house music and its that genre that essentially defines the 2 bears. so, brace yourself for four tantalizing mixes of one of the 2 bears finest house cuts take a look around.

lb003 arrives courtesy of bristol born, brighton based producer sam kidel, aka el kid. following up his well received debut on immerse sam drops 3 tracks of wildly varied bass music. beginning with the title track >hypnosis<, lush ambient pads and plucked guitar soon give way to fearsome bass swells and metronomic percussion, coming across like early autechre remixed by floating points. second track >mud< drops the pace for a noisy house workout, reminiscent of fellow bristolians kowton, and labelmate vessel. >kachinja< on the flip is the straightest - and darkest - of the lot, a lurching warehouse techno cut that wouldnt sound out of place on ostgut ton. finally hyperdub wunderkid walton contributes a rough & ready funky dub of >hypnosis< to round out the ep.

on the prowl appears to be on a roll with its new found artists. following up robotalcos success on the previous otp, giorgio lands himself in anthem territory. the a1 track >more heart< is big, catchy, and totally feel good house vibes with disco styled horn flourishes. the a side inside cut >basement 6d22< takes us near kerri chandler with delayed brassy chord stabbing and long organ pads. flipping the record over reveals a stunning slo mo disco house workout, filled with jam style organ riffs and amazing synth horn parts. for b2 we get a perscription style deep house track with all the right dark drifting chords. excellent release.

iberian records feature on their seventh release an ep from migrant (aka 23hz) who comes with three slabs of soundsystem funk and groovy vibes. >limbic sistim< kicks off proceedings with a building arrangement into a catchy vocal lick – all underpinned with tight beats and warm subs. >acid sumatra< works on a similar tip but ups the tribal and percussive pressure on a deeper insistent rub. whilst >pipe club< brings some classic two-steppy flavours into the mix but cleverly reinforced with massive sub weight. these three tunes are taken from migrants forthcoming album, also entitled >exit plan<. more bass n groove from the lisbon and barcelona based label that should find favour with the deeper end of both dubstep and uk funky scenes.’ early support by scratcha dva, ghosts on tape, kid606, chrissy muderbot, cardopusher, slackk, mesak, phaeleh, deville, bunzer0, throwing snow.

originally heard on a c90 mixtape from the mid 90s, unearthed 15 years later, recorded from a demo played on the andy kershaw show on radio 1 in 1996! what followed was an epic quest to find the artist and the original masters and all roads led to west london, summer 2010............. musa k hails from sierra leone but is now based in west london and his tracks paint a landscape of brutality and horror on the guinea coast, set to a soundtrack that is pure funk. these two remarkable previously unreleased tracks fuse and deconstruct, hip hop, afrobeat, techno, p-funk and dub. a truly unique voice and lyrical style musa fits no stereotype. an edition of 200, 12inch black vinyl remastered from original mastertapes.

die 83. folge in der black label-serie des münchner labels compost ist drei jungen talenten gewidmet. emil seidel wurde compost von move d empfohlen. die b-seite wird von deo & z-man eröffnet, die sich als resident-djs im hamburger golden pudel club und dem berliner golden gate sowie mit veröffentlichungen auf opsm und dekadent einen namen gemacht haben. zudem arbeiteten die beiden bereits als produzenten mit jake the rapper zusammen. der dritte act auf compost black label 83 ist philipp stoya aus jena, der mit >triohu< hier seinen allerersten track veröffentlicht. superbe ep!

the next release coming out of the roska camp is this smart vinyl-only followup to the roska allstars release. this second instalment brings more of the same versatile movements from some fantastic producers currently leading the way for upfront danceable material. main man roska signs up terror danjah to pull of a smart remix of his track >without it<. its somewhat of a guilty pleasure hearing both artists signature idents in one song, terror with his evil gremlin laugh and roska with his ubiquitous shout out! however its all about the arrangement here as terror reforms those original trumpet sounds and adds some heavy distorted bass. j:kenzo serves up >let it move< which is all out pure electro style with punchy drums and dirty synths, again lending to the surprising nature of this labels output. tickles completes the vinyl only package with >da growler<. drums are tougher than iron and bass harder than rock as tickles blends funky, dubstep and house into his own dance-floor destructive mould. all three records show a different side to the current uk bass and funky scene, yet they somehow could only belong on kicks & snares. a fine package for a burgeoning label.

with deep groovy beats and pumping basslines, impact on all dancefloors is guaranteed! unique vocals, high class super stereo sound , 100% swiss quality house music and much more. produced by upcoming swiss producers jack (jonas belardinelli) & the jerk (vincenzo busceti). simply great … play it loud!

after his recent excursion remixing groove armada, morton sorenson returns to the fold with a stunning little release for tirk titled >the burn down ep.< for those that dont know, morten is in his early twenties and hails from a small fishing village in rural norway. his dad probably spent many years in new york and the records that he brought back encouraged a love of american house and disco on the impressionable morton. >burn down (original)’ is an exercise in uplifting, stripped back house music. less is more here, the vibe stays rich and never loosens its grip. the rhythms skip on top of the beat and the vocal interludes make for a real vivid experience. the lpz remix on the other hand sits back a bit, the rhythms are solidly swung and the vocal appears more affluently in the mix. it feels smooth and definitely cool. to top the package, were served up some chi-town flavours with <owe that 2 u.< sustained strings and a slo-mo shuffle builds, then peels away to a hollowed out organ breakdown. a hauntingly affected vocal and clever edits ensue then drop back into the beat, articulated now by the clack of a tough stacatto synth. in our eyes, a brilliant end to a fantastic package

after two splendid releases of industrial house for amsterdams rush hour, the elusive b.d.i. graces running back with his presence. trading the factory for the holy see, he delivers a triptych that goes across countries, continents, time and space. paper tears is some serious vatican house and the deepest track that the paradise loft never played. coveted with the devoutness that is the tribal tears dub and a new wave whip subtitled same victories, same mistakes, there is a prayer here for every matter. comes in limited super sleeves and unlimited niceness.

following a 12 inch for doc daneekas tty, presk returns home to deliver his second 12 inch for fourth wave. delivering his most progressive and unique work yet, presks latest injects some fun into his synth-heavy sound, while deftly swerving the moodiness of his future-techno contemporaries. >hesitate / kook< marks the first release in 2012 for what promises to be another ridiculous year for new label fourth wave – an upcoming 12 inch from newcomer felix lenferink, and man of the moment gerry reds debut album are all set for release over the next few months.

too late for this years christmas festivities, but hopefully still an acceptable gift for vinyl enthusiasts: two previously digital-only tracks from the running back(catalogue) on one split-10inch-plate. todd terjes picturesque ambient version of ragyshs antagonist snooze 4 love is backed up by jack plugs (alias chris bishop) supernatural (disco) dub of son of sams 1984 electro punk punch nature makes a mistake. two for one, one for all and 500 copies for the world.

as much as track names end up being slightly more than tags and guidelines for searches in the digital era of music in which we live today, the name of the title track says a lot about the intentions behind the artwork. in the case of >the classic age<, it can be considered a homage to the influences that nourished rotcivs career throughout the past years.

local actions seventh vinyl release is the official follow-up to t. williams and terri walkers 2010 anthem >heartbeat<, and comprises three of t. williams heaviest instrumental tracks to date. >break broke< is the sound of williams getting darker, with synths that glow like an overcooked power grid and one of the most ruff-neck drops you will hear anywhere this year. >go in< is for the djs, a palette cleanser that is tailor-made to mix long and deep, but its >analog tour< that is arguably this records stand-out – opening with a two-and-a-half minute intro of acid ambience, electro claps and super-heavy 808 kicks, and climaxing as a full-on 303 hydra.

rad rice and steven boardman are radical majik. they sculpt bowel-shatteringly funky head-spinners, hewn from bare circuits, and disco sweat. previous dancefloor-botherers include >dub rider<, >spread the hot potato<, >direct action< and remixes for 2raumwohung and andrew weatherall.

spätestens seit toddla ts letztjähriger single >take it back< feat. shola ama zählt der aus sheffield kommende künstler zu den spannendsten acts aus england. seine fusion aus pop, soul, house, dubstep und elektronik klingt erfrischend und sorgt für mächtig gute laune. mit >watch me dance< gelingt dem britischend tausendsassa ein ganz hervorragendes, sommerliches album, gleichzeitig sein erstes für das renommierte label ninja tune. vom schuhverkäufer aus sheffield startete tom bell aka toddla t eine beachtliche karriere, er produzierte bereits tracks von roots manuva, ms dynamite, tinchy oder jammer, fertigte gefragte remixe für u.a. gorillaz oder hot chip an, hat seine eigene radio show auf bbc 1 und zeigte sich bereits für einen genialen fabric mix verantwortlich. >watch me dance< erinnert streckenweise an die genialität des soul ii soul >club classics vol. 1< album - street soul, house, dancehall, dubstep, pop sind nur einige facetten, die toddla t spektakulär kombiniert und dadurch etwas eigenständiges kreiert!

such an intense, variegated, and singularly saccharin sound can only come from the mind of someone whos in love with life and music. its what puppy love sounds like for our generation. following the paul woolford remix of t. williams and terri walkers heartbeat comes local action 006, the first 12inch release by an amazing new artist from manchester, uk, called damu. after this, hes got material penciled in for blackdowns keysound label and more. the title track, a stand-out from girl units xlr8r podcast last year, is one of the best tunes weve put out yet, full of colour with just the right amount of lushness to it. while a lot of uk dance music right now seems to use colourful synths in an unimaginative way, damus drip, glow and fizz at every turn in the same way that ill blu or funkystepz do. listening to mermaids like diving head-first into a lagoon. after that youve got three more killers: the iron assault of >beat of zen< and the few-more-intense >sequinny<, plus a ‘beat of zen remix by chicago juke titans dj rashad and dj earl. early support comes from lv, girl unit, sinden, brodinski, starkey and more
