ltd pressing, straight from sao paulo, the debut ep of sphynx (aka marcio vermelho and pedro zopelar) is undoubtedly pure balearic bliss! intricate masterful compositions fascinate with live guitar, drum machines and vintage synths combined in a harmonious arrangement. without the use of any samples, sphynx constructs the perfect soundtrack for every sunset between ipanema and ibiza. no ar captivates through its unforgettable bassline and dreamy synths, while enigma shows the producers love for spheric new beat and proto house. on the flipside, tempestade explores the realm of electro rock, while toby tobias remix transforms the title track, with rough drums and the synth work, into a psychedelic uptempo jam.

180 g vinyl. the idea for this ep was inspired by a birthday weekend away in beautiful herne bay with a lovely crowd of people. toby tobias (double knots)

we are extremely excited to have the talent that is chocky featuring on our next release. since he burst on to the scene, we have been following this artist. his music captures emotion & combines breaks, house and electronic experimentation.

the undisputed queen of house liz torres is back on the scene with your love is all i need, a sensual track mixing heartache and hope of a love renewed

we just love those lil compilations here at quintessentials, you know that.

on this second remix 12 inch pbr streetgang deliver a wonderfully deep modern house groove, toby tobias delivers 2 mixes straight out of the 90s basement and glaswegian wunderkind barrientos offers a kind of sun-kissed gypsy woman style re-invention.

ltd edition picture disc... 500 copies... the concept of climactic and chassis shaking is synonymous with rayko. and his vision does not disappoint. it draws you in and layer by layer, this structurally more simplified midnight burner slowly but surely intensifies - through its reliance on chunky bass, trademark mid-point vocal introduction and heavy use of synths. it is both playful and a little bit naughty. destination dance floor.

london based techno & minimal label murmur records, are pleased to unveil their story so far compilation, stretching back to their inception in 2004. a seminal label with a distinct talent for pushing home grown talent alongside some of the world s elite artist, murmur has an incredibly strong following through both their record label & club nights, something which this limited compilation displays perfectly. label honcho geddes pulls together the compilation, which features artists including toby tobias, will saul, maya jane coles & ethyl & huxley to name a few.

we are all children of the earth and immigrants - ausl€nder - immigrati in our world. this was one of the first things coming in siopis mind at the beginning of his new project >ausl€nder< a mixed compilation for klik records. officially an immigrant himself although he is one more of those using the globe as a unity under the guidance of music, he is the person behind the silversurfer alliance that conquered the dancefloors with his raw and dark tune.

another big remix package from ism, who continue their homage paying endeavours for legendary nyc disco troupe odyssey. this latest 12 inch sees remixes from faze action, toby tobias, leftside wobble and ron basejam. opening proceedings on the a-side you will find faze actions thumping proto-house version of >going back to my roots< - this one is made for sweat-drenched sunday nights at horse meat disco! mr tobias goes deep on his version of >o dj ko<, with the swampy bass, echo laden vocal cuts and bleep-fuelled melody a pleasing contrast to its raucous predecessor. the two remixes on the flip maintain these lofty standards, with soundcloud don leftside wobble turning in a twinkling refix of >lonely star<, while crazy p man ron basejam turns >aint no dubbin us now< into a beefy, conga-led traipse through shimmering, balearic soundscapes.

part 4 from the >deep, real and raw< series! again a well mixed selection of beats and basslines featuring mister >underground disco< toby tobias, famous for his releases on rekids and his debut compilation >underground disco< on ministry of sound, japanese sound freak no milk (yore, rhapsody), the ever present italian house maestro marcello napoletano (theres no stopping him) and ricardo miranda from chicago, who has made a big impression recently with superb tunes on labels like neroli, hour house is your rush (rush hour) and his own imprint noble square. get this part 4 now!

as nang completes its first two years on the planet things are going pretty well. we are certainly not getting rich in financial terms but the love of the music and plaudits are warming our souls to the core. along the way we have also managed to work with some amazing artists and introduce some mighty-fine new ones to the world so it is with great pleasure that we bring you the 2nd installment of our >array< series. it is a stock-take of the best nang tunes from the past year, some previews on future hits and some tracks we just had to release!

fresh beats delivered directly from the caribbean by venezuelan producer trujillo on his latest appearance on the spanish-venezuelan label apersonal music. trujillos ability to make you feel caught up in an eternal summer vibe gets clearer and stronger with every track he releases. on this release main single >fruit punch< is simplicity at its best, squeezing the most out of basic classic-house elements. it builds up slowly until the original guitar tunes in, thats when you take a sip of your fruit punch (or whatever sweet drink comes handy) and enjoy the sea breeze in your face (whether its there or not..). for the extra flavor on your drink they pour an edit-format track >looking up through you<. lots of original ingredients here enough to make this edit an own piece of music... venezuelan keyboard player mister casanova on board plus trujillo mixing it all up in his best poolside bar style. fresh juicy punched stuff here! on the remix department 2 remix versions from uk based producer toby tobias plus a classy fashioned remix from canadian eddie c. tobias is a hard working man, and when you ask him for one he hits you twice, hard to pick one remix although one had to be selected for digital only release (size matters some time!). what can we say about eddie c.. apersonal had already made a statement that they love classic grooves, and it cant get classier than eddies beats on his remix! this groove is what house music is all about, and it will always be.

slamming chicago house classic !! now, 2011 with fresh updated versions

next up on nang is a single from two djs with a self-confessed chequered history. a determinedly eclectic djing style and a friendship started behind the decks at mambo in ibiza one summer evening and continued through nights spinning together at stella polaris and roskilde in denmark and bestival in the isle of wight.

rmxs by mr. g & toby tobias big with ame, loco dice, richie hawtin, villalobos, ivan smagghe, sven väth

follow up to are you sure you want to know me> quizz and el nigno team up again on this track >the monster is in town< . besides the freaky orginal version, you ll find the 2 winners of the remix competition organised by i-dj : toby tobias (rekids, bearfunk, hi phen..) is stealing the show with his slow burning electro disco behemoth that sets an hypnotic atmosphere before kicking into a groovy rework of the main theme. philippe autuori has music to be released on the german biggie poker flat, his mix is funky electro-techno rework with plenty of mean synths stabs and a smart use of the vocals. club material
