barcelona-born rainer grew up in california, but it was his move to london in 2007 which led him to start collaborating with cesare vs disorder, playing out around town and beginning his production career with the popular >neuralgia< under his belt. the obvious next step for him was to hitch his wagon onto the well-traveled route onto berlin where he now presents his second release on cesares serialism records. >x-berg to san diego<, a production in conjunction with the labels head honcho, a paean to his newly adopted stomping ground and the town of his youth. a tough house beat leads with a funky guitar picking out groove along the way, an oscillating vocal hovering into earshot as old-school snares jack it up.

already played by sven väth, seth troxler. joris voorn, tiefschwarz, reboot... the london resident ross evana already excelled as dj at pacha nyc, at ministry of sound london or in the we love space series in ibiza. his track >thrilla in manila< first takes its time to build up before it sets a tremendously powerful exclamation mark on the dancefloor with its tropical-hypnotic percussions. with its second track, the ninth edition of cocoons 10 inch -series leads us to the land of the midnight sun. the two stockholm-born cousins alex caytas and aleks patz have started their musical collaboration only in 2007 but can already look back on a hand full of very good produced releases for the stuttgart-based label parquet recordings and the italian label caremella, as well as on remixes for martin dawson/king roc and voltique. >blue sea< shows the duos affinity to the energetic deep house techno of the nineties: with its organ sound, blues vocals and a highly infectous bass line, this track could almost pass as a modern and uncluttered version of st. germain, being predestined for warm summer nights. this is how techno sounds in 2011.

tes la roks highly anticipated debut album entitled >them< will finally see the light of day. tes la rok made his name in dubstep circles in 2007 with the massive >round the world girls remix< which immediately positioned him as one of the most exciting artists and definitely one to watch. anthem releases such as >under the dancing feet< remix for clouds, >wikidness remix< for mungos hi-fi, and >up in the vip / living fire< on dub police were soon followed by bookings at dmz in brixton and dubstep mecca fwd>> at plastic people. >them< features thirteen tracks engineered with precision and care. these tracks are being championed by the main players such as distance, n-type, kryptic, minds, desto, pinch, addison groove and cyrus.

following the legendary first two, stoically super minimal records >sog 1< and >sog 2< that provide ecstasy disguised as boredom on kompakt extra/speicher in 2007, and the outstanding beautifully bizarre >sog - abweichung< on profan in 2010, we are now listening to >fremde hÄnde<. like its predecessors, this sog stands in the tradition of >the art of omission< with wolfgang voigt variegating his preference for the bluntly straightforward quaver bass in two different forms. the a-side contains a tonally noncommittal sequence ambling across the keyboard in quantised form, reminiscing of the arpeggiator (accompaniment function) function of early 70ies and 80ies synthesizers. on the b-side, daring and thoroughly unquantised quaver rhythms rock around a bass drum that, as the only straight element, tries to keep the whole thing together. the result sounds a little like a delirious can live.

the -makeovers- project is a compilation of some of claudes best re-twists, some of which are so far removed they can almost be considered original works. this special edition vinyl includes one of the most sought after remixes, -warpaint- originally by pocket 808 in australia, vonstroke turned this into a late night anthem in 2007. played by techno djs, dubstep djs, and everyone in between this track was never cut to vinyl until now. on the flip side claude remixed the nublu orchestra out of new york. he was never completely happy with the original version of the remix and hes gone back and re-made it into a very special piece of music including a new vocal sample from his wife aundy who also did the vocal effects in whos afraid of detroit? this collection was put together with the theme that a remix can be an inspiring starting point for an entirely new piece of music. these are two of the deeper and darker remixes but we think you agree they are also very special.

from now on, the duo’s ascent was constant and then lightning struck: remixes for n.e.r.d, britney spears, franz ferdinand, u2, daft punk, lenny kravitz and an ep in 2006 (” waters of nazareth “) defining the “justice sound, this famous ultra-powerful compression of pop and baroque melodies, both dark and threatening, lightning and animative, and above all the famous justice image, the cross from which an earlier version figures on the first ep. 2007 was the explosion that will turn the duo into the emblem of a whole generation: their first album “†, anticipated like the messiah, holds all the promises, and swept everything away as an epic soundtrack. “†” is more than a magnificent synthesis of our time: its potential definition. 800 000 sales worldwide and 4 years later, the album is considered as a mainstay of the 2000s puzzled and tonic, one of the few who bridged the gap from pitchfork world to mtv without losing its credibility. ++etched vinyl + 90 cm x 60 cm poster (500 are signed by the band !!!)++

the unique partnership is the brainchild of local dance music aficionado dj vidis. he teamed up with top lithuanian producer mario basanov in 2007 to form the most influential local production combo and to deliver what could be the freshest sounding and truly adventurous house music in lithuania and around. vidis and marios first vocal track and video >i ll be gone< featuring young but much promising lithuanian singer and songwriter jazzu became national phenomena on its own right. hitting number one in radio charts, not leaving mtv baltic top 20 for half a year, and becoming the most blogged and youtubed lithuanian music video ever says it all. and the single featuring british songstress kathy diamond as well as vaguely provoking black and white video cemented their reputation as local institution and the purveyors of top quality deep sounds. with duos debut album released december 2010 on their own silence music to big commercial success as well as a few singles being lined-up for early 2011 on top notch international labels like japanese endless flight, australian future classic, german best works, and british crosstwonrebels also remix work commissioned from soul clap, john talabot, andre lodemann, marcus worgull, and softwar the future looks bright and bold.
