now already almost a year has gone by since “inspiration”, the collaboration between jah wobble and singer pj higgins has come out on sonar kollektiv. with “chaingang (remixes)” we get a further renewal of one of the eight tracks off the album. for instance utrecht, netherlands based multi-instrumentalist and producer pitto gets down to work to morph the song into an eight-minute spheric techno extravaganza. some sort of a teaser for his upcoming album on sonar kollektiv later this year (although it will sound completely different). also releasing an album on sonar kollektiv in 2015 is producer marlow from weimar. his voodoo version of “chaingang” draws nearer to the original and incorporates the jubilee style gospel chanting to a hypnotically impelling rhythm. at the right time at the right place this remix will cause outmost frenzy on the dancefloor.

daniel grau hits us with volume 4 of his reworks series featuring mixes from mark e, jacques renault, marcel vogel & fajra fantasmo.

mario weise aka marlow ist definitiv kein newcomer mehr in dieser szene. er veröffentlichte bereits eine palette cluborientierter tanzmusik seit 1994. während der vergangenen 20 jahre bezauberte uns marlow mit releases auf prestigebehafteten deutschen labels, wie dem leipziger moon harbour recordings, dem berliner label konsequenz oder dem hamburger room with a view, um nur ein paar zu nennen. jetzt ist es an der zeit die karten neu zu mischen und marlow bei sonar kollektiv willkommen zu heißen. nach seinem remix für das kürzlich erschienene *re-set* von alex barck feat. pete josef, präsentiert er nun seinen ersten richtigen release auf dem berliner label. *backroom* ist ein verspieltes, bassgesteuertes sing-along im gewand von leichtfüßigem pop/house, was eher auf der heimischen anlage oder dem ipad erklingen wird und definitiv grenzüberschreitend die funkhäuser okkupiert. die b-seite beinhaltet einen weiteren herausragenden track, der den myteriösen namen *l4l (vertigo)* trägt.

the seventh episode of the based on misunderstanding series is true show-stopper: last summer the ultra hot duo manhooker(tomasz guiddo switala and sebastian mavin magassouba) digged itself together with paul bonomo aka snax (capatain comatose) in its studio to record with cloud 9 a veritable late summer hit. once their first 12inch on ostgut ton caused a burst of enthusiasm, the hype will be fuelled with this release. this is pop music at its best with lots of soul for the sophisticated dancefloor.

in january the debut album the damage is done by hot coins, the disco crossbreed project by danny berman (best known for his house productions as red rack em), was released. his personal time machine journey into the sights and sounds of downtown new york sometime around the late seventies/early eighties is much more than a tribute to his heroes of those times. its also a brilliant examination of todays club music.

producer/multi-instrumentalist stefan merse ulrich and singer/songwriter neve aka alexa voss are neve naive. and with the inner peace of cat and bird they just released on sonar kollektiv one of the most astonishing debut albums of the year.

while fetsum is about to take the us by storm (after a california tour, in march hes going to perform at the sxsw festival in austin and at the pre-oscars party at the villa aurora in la) sonar kollektiv releases four seminal remixes of his song letters from damascus. one of the centre pieces of his current album the colors of hope is not describing the political situation in syria, its more of an autobiographical tale about the golden voiced german-eriteans life.

mit freestyle lover vermengt berman gekonnt die schnittstellen von electro, postpunk, new wave und disco. genau so wie es seine vorbilder aus dem alles-geht-new york der späten 70er vorgemacht haben.

the loose series based on misunderstandings returns. after the last release in 2009 the series initiated by jazzanova dj alex barck based on his former club night at berlins weekend, we are now treated with its fourth installment.

micatone come off with a true masterpiece of sophisticated pop with their new and fifth album >wish i was here< (released in march 2012). not only the music press and feuilletons but also old devoted and newly found fans agree: micatone never sounded better before. the second offspring off the album is a 2-tracker with two very special remixes. label mate stee downes takes on >sweet pain< as if it was his own track and kicks out a vivacious deep house stormer. there is no doubt that this remix will be in every bag of those djs that put some more emotions on the floor. the second remix was orderd in italy - in bologna to be exact. keemani and alex ferratti just started their new project blue mondays and now – with their rework of >just a boy< – promisingly launch their career to become the next in-demand remixers. they dont just lay a vocal track over a pre-programed beat, but use all of their devotion, accuracy and finesse to turn an already astonishing pop song into an anthem for everlasting nights. it is like preparing the perfect sugo: simmer exquisite ingedients for days until your mouth is watering. perfetto!

sonar kollektivs inclination towards dubbed out pop/dance music is definitely no secret (see fat freddys drop or eva be). but with this brand new 7inch the berlin label hits the nail on the head. chicago-born jeremy sole is one of the program selectors at renowed la radio station kcrw and hosts a weekly party in santa monica where he blends afrobeat, funk, reggae, latin, brazilian and everything else under the sun!

this is the second of two 12inchs accompanying the jazzanova remix compilation upside down. next to the motor city drum ensemble remix off the compilation it features two bonus tracks: the remix by manuel tur & dplay and a special dub edit of the mcde remix.

pure hypnotic dope ! the 12inch opens with a blast of superlative dancefloor funk, >u can get sonar<. its immediately obvious that this track is the creation of someone who knows - as a fan, dj, record-seller and musician - what works on the dancefloor, what sounds good, and has endeavoured to make his record satisfy us on all counts. carried along by an unbelievably buoyant bassline, purring, deep house-style chords and crystalline percussion, the track climaxes in waves of synthesized strings. >upad aah< is a vivacious, skippy dancefloor track, its constituent bass and drum elements rounded and smoothed for maximum bounce, sharp, pressurized snares provide a glorious counterpoint, as quasi-tribal percussion, and airy african female vocals are layered over the top. the result is fresh, powerful and eminently danceable. >persuasion< is a deep, swinging club track. once again that warm bass is at the forefront, with clipped yet languid chords building melody around it as

for the 4th emission in the sonar base transmissions series, deeptrax records turns back to the 2005 release on the now defunct uk label scsi av. like all older sonar base releases, the original vinyl issue of transmissions from beyond hoag s object is highly sought after, with matching high prices for a decent copy. next to that, the original version had a few flaws: the labels had been flipped, and the mastering wasn t up to the current standards. the tracklisting remained the same, only the sequence of the 6 tracks has slightly changed. those familair with the other sonar base releases know what to expect: pitch-dark, well crafted electro from outer space, some with a hint of melancholy. pressed at their own pressing plant deepgrooves on an 180gr heavy weight pressing.

twenty years after the sonar base 4 - 10 release on the legendary dutch record label u-trax, it is now time for an official high quality remastered vinyl re-issue on deeptrax records. the rare original was very hard to find and is considered as one of the highlights of dutch electro and techno. the dutchman frank de groodt a.k.a sonar base is hitting hard with a perfect blend of 70 minutes of aquasonic electro, intergalactic boogie and deep techno. frank started out on u-trax records in 1994, and released as the operator and optic crux on djax-up-beats before his more recent releases as fastgraph on klakson. besides he s also part of random xs and ultradyne. this bass oriented, mind bending album is considered one of the netherlands best kept secrets and has been a fave amongst connaisseurs, selectors and djs around the globe for many years. a real post apocalyptic gem from utrecht that is as fresh and sharp as it was originally released 20 years ago. the tracks are full bodied, muscular pieces of electro and techno with hidden melodies and savage beats upon clever bass lines. all tracks analog remastered by ballyhoo studios and pressed by the brand new vinyl pressing plant deepgrooves for optimal listening pleasure. this is just the first one of a series by sonar base released on deeptrax records. buy your own personal outer-space sonar base package, filling that black hole in your macrocosm collection. you don t want to miss this a second time!
