bomb alert summer 2007 crossover hit !! originally released on the now defunct us label flatline records, >i shall not be moved<, is a prime example of dancefloor oriented gospel house at its best.

a perfect example for the second category is the lnz013 track rezolution. even though limited on 500 white label copies, this hypnotic minimal trip became an incredible public success over the last two months. not only, but especially on ibiza, the feos & miroir production is regularly spinned by all important tech house djs. not set the dance floor alight or keep it ablaze with rezolution is a big faux pas the party crowd hardly could accept. due to the overwhelming demand for the lnz013 (and the fact that its sold out mostly everywhere) the label decided to press a second edition of this legendary tune. unlike the tria track of the limited vinyl, the flipside comes with a re-edit version of rezolution, produced by pascal feos studio mate chris wood. extended to 8.30 minutes of playtime, he retained all stunning sound elements of the original, re-arranged them, gave great new accents and lifted the track cleverly up to an even higher, minimal house energetic level. thats why we dont call it a b-, but aa-side track

ramon tapia delivers an outstanding example of modern electronic clubmusic on our imprint yellow tail! deep but raving & uplifting at the same time. with dancefloor bombs like >e.v.i.<on the a-side or moody tracks like growingon the flip

on this new androids ignition technician go the deeper way in opposite to their other productions on primate or pirate audio for example. here they come with two electrofied melodic tunes from minimal techno to techhouse

as hard as it might be to believe, there was a time when the word trance did not mean dutch guys dressed in white wearing oakleys.. it also didn t mean israeli pre-military dragon-stick wielding reefer addicts.. actually, there was a glorious era where trance was a verb rather than a noun.. im talking about when you got in a trance, at lets say for example: the golden eagle in munich in 81, in a white-tiled sauna-motif discotec, grooving to a 17 minute reel-to reel version of knights in white satin on your 2nd bottle of poppers while some guy named >wolfie< takes his modern ballet skills to the >next level<. if that sounds appealing.. and i know it does.. then allow me to introduce you to compuphonic and kolombo.. a throwback to the days of romance-trance of the highest order. deep, sensual (yes, i used the word sensual) electronic grooves so potent that we were forced by a coalition of competitors labels to only release some of them digitally to restrict their awesome power to trip people out. these tracks make other tracks seem like mindless shallow shit. that includes some of turbos other releases.

after successfull releases on tongut, enliven and floppy funk for example, hugo hits the tuning spork family with this crunchy and groovin 4 tracker called >death by sex<

incl phat marlose remix !! moolono.bass is known as a part of the legendary kombinat 100 quartett and also label head of the fresh founded acker records where he has released his debut ep >linstow e.p.< at the end of 2006. in the past he did a successful remix for marlose s >hey na ep< on ostwind records 04. now he is back on the front and we are happy to present his own debut ep on ostwind. like his productions with kombinat 100, mollono.bass combines warm grooving and driven drum sets with dubby, harmonic and emotional elements to tell the crowd special moments. after his debut ep >hey na< (played by gesine pertenbreiter for example) and the great minikosmonauten remix to kombinat 100, marlose is also back on the front with his eupho-riemix, where he take >endless summer< in a more floor and ear candy orientated minimal version in his familiar pumpin style !!!

new offshoot to the mean record label – serialism records - combining avant-garde sounds with a seasoned technique for all things minimal. in this case >dried lubricant ep< is an example of quality which doesnt follow the common flow. on this 4 tracker, the classic breed of techno is harmonically mixed up with the quirkiness of our time. a various artist ep which doesnt eave space for misunderstandings. on the a side young frenchman cesar merveille and his obscure melodies and liquid bass lines takes us on moody journey followed by italian rico casazza who plays ironically with our heads in a more funked up style. on the b side ekkohaus opens up the dancefloor with heavy breaks and chorused rim shots while the fourth track from the brainchild of techno producer grimes adhesif delivers an industrial 909 style loopy piece. grimes is the label owner of mind your head records, and has produced tracks which have received much recognition from major djs and artists such as ricardo villalobos

after several release for blu fin / beat modul /.... pierce gives us a perfect example for a functional club track!

this is the first ep on flash recordings that doesnt feature label owners florian meindl and oliver koletzki. but they have made sure to look for a quality replacement. no one else than cologne-based artist daso - renowned for his previous releases on labels like mbf, session deluxe, ghostly and connaisseur - teams up with his buddy pawas to create their first release >night express< on flash. pawas has just had his first record out on adam krolls and markus müllers imprint squonk records and has been a dj for 9 years, moving from india to cologne one year ago. on the a-side daso & pawas foreshadow the summer with the track >tgv<: a beautifully deep melody that swings along a powerful loop. >ice< - the name of germanys high-speed train is clearly more electro-driven. a slightly broken beat with a thumping organic bassline pumps above an ever-changing soundscape that culminates in some euphoric high-pitched synths. never too much, this is a perfect example for elegant understatement. also on the flip side is the track >bummelzug<, which translates as >very slow train< in german. this is a dub-techno masterpiece. deep dubs and arpeggios flow over the simple beats with a great clappy snare drum. dreamy, hypnotic, melodic! flash recordings has just become fit for the summer

when it comes to techno and house, berlin based tigerskin (alex krüeger to his mum) has to be on the list! alex krüger has been involved in many projects and has released countless top class records, for example the new excellent phonique album on dessous which alex coproduced. >dark cold< is another marvellous tigerskin trademark sound and one of his hottest tracks to date! why? find out!

jerrald james aka jerry the cat musical career is a typical example for detroit music of the last decades having played percussions with parliament and disco outfit cj & company he early came in contact with the first wave of detroit house and techno producers and began to experiment with these new sounds. his productions today are still evident for the unique mixture of detroit soul history and futuristic electronics. therefore this new sound signature is exemplary for the detroit sound as it skillfully fuses the free flowing jazz inflected vocals of genevieve with jerralds rootsy percussions play, accoustic live bass and a skanking, hypnotic house beat. flip over for the dubby instrumental track vanished

back in 1998 this was probably just about the wrongest record you had ever heard…and it has to be said that not much has changed. forshaw has a knack of turning out ridiculously hard and mangled electro and techno tracks – but still managing to make them sound >poppy<. sometimes, as in the case of rockford for example, it is because he uses well recognisable (but unexpected) samples. but more often it is just because he manages to make tunes (no matter how hard) that make you stop gurning and start smiling

goodlife, gigolo, hot banana or turbo are just four of the countless labels, where kiko has released some of his most eclectic productions. now it’s time for him to rock huntemann’s confused label. his sound is always trenched with electro, ebm and intergalactic disco elements - a certain ratio of retro. faces of life is no exception from this rule. saw-tooth basses a raw drumming and spaced out melodies pave the way for this rave club weapon from the outer rim of uranus. galaxia is another example for his approach towards electronic dance music – comparable to the dutch legend legowelt he simply knows about the analogue sound world. this is a big rock band shrivelled into a moog space ship

cobblestone jazz produce their tracks live, with a strong emphasis on improvisation, and the trio of programmer tyger dhula, keyboardists danuel tate and mathew jonson, make full use of their formative jazz training to transform the musical outfit into a pragmatic and responsive unit, a living and breathing creation, free of formulaic sequence. dmt is a particularly good example of this, progressing with a confidence and purposefulness that borders on sensual mastery. samples and trace sounds are revealed into the mix, weaving a hypnotic and infectious reverie that calculatingly refrains from climax. a display of power that is anything but vulgar, cobblestone arent showing us all their cards just yet. magic

recognise is a ruthless peaktime roller, wrapped up in a jackin house vibe and armed with a bassline that just wont let you stand still for a second. baobinga & i.d.s latest production has already been shaking the floor during their monthly residency at fuse, manchester with early support also coming from the likes of krafty kuts, skool of thought & 30hz. vandal is arguably the production worlds finest exponent of electro tinged breakbeat, producing hits like mad as hell on meat katies lot49 imprint which received 25 plays on bbc radio 1 or delivering the goods which went on to become one of plastic rayguns most successful releases. since his first release he has built up a reputation for constantly pushing the breaks sound, his remix of recognise provides a text book example, delivering a throbbing breakbeat madness that already has the backing of hyper

"aaltopiiri is an album filled with alluring, ambient frequencies and hypnotic rhythms. tracks like kone and kierto stutter and groove, while elsewhere aanipaa and liuos provide lush, addictive pulses. they are often asked what the track & album titles actually mean when translated into english, but as they often invent or combine finnish words the "definitions" become quite vague. for example, a legendary maybe mythological low creeping mist from a particular area of finland or, a variant technological term for a certain aspect of a early radio wave experiments."
