122 bpm is the story of how a father and his son changed chicagos dance music scene in the 1980s and went on to take the world by storm, leaving an impression that will last forever with just a couple of 12 inch releases the world would soon know as house music. nemiah mitchell jr. and vince lawrence couldnt have known what their contribution to house music would become. their story provides the missing chicago link between soul, disco, new wave and then house, between the radio and club djs and their audience, between the old generation and the new generation. this is the story of the first house records ever made - long before trax or dj international were even dreamt of. the compilation includes numerous unreleased tracks and beyond hard to find house tracks made in chicago in the early to late eighties from the catalogues of mitchbal records and chicago connection records

first up is tabou for the people by sofrito specials featuring l barrabas which twitch edited for his dj sets a couple of years back. the lovely people at sofrito kindly gave permission for it to be included on this release. its a relentlessly driving slab of 4/4 afro funk with horn explosions. next up is the 10th and final track in twitchs cumbia series. the first 8 were released on japans lets get lost label and the missing number 9 is being saved for a future release. colombias cumbia was born out of african influences. this track is based around a sample from colombian cumbia legend andres landero and is an attempt to fuse traditional cumbia sounds with up to date production styles. the end result is a slow motion hypnotic cumbia retaining the haunting melancholia inherent in the original sample. leading the aa side, twitch passed a wild highlife song by ghanas atakoru manu to glasgows super talented auntie flo (whose highly recommended future rhythm machine album recently saw a release) to play around with. auntie flo cut it up and added additional drums and bass to come up with this euphoric modern highlife groover

the prism is an aluminum cube, small enough to fit in your palm. it was designed by nicolas jaar as a new medium for releasing music. the first release - csa001 - features twelve (mostly) unreleased songs from jaar and other clown & sunset collaborators. the prism is a piece of art in and of itself, its contents beg to be shared. twin headphone outlets encourage connections to the object and between the two listeners. the prism tries to restore physicality to the listening experience. the medium and the method are as important as the music itself. the prism makes you consider how the music is being heard, the way the object feels in your hands, and its potential to foster intimacy between listeners. when the prism is unplugged, a beam of light passes through the empty center, revealing a void. someone is missing.

we are happy to report, after a short hiatus ray mang and his incomparable mangled label are back! his recent disco deviance release was more than enough to remind everyone what they d been missing, but here we have a fresh new mangled release - filled to brim with rays unique take on lost classics.
mangled has been a benchmark for quality edits since the late 90s, and with renewed interest in dance musics heritage, ray has found himself back at the forefront of a scene he was instrumental in forming. having been behind a plethora of releases on cult nu-disco labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic, eskimo etc etc over the years he has cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right as well a studio engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys, glimmers & many more.

hinter dem namen human dont be angry steckt mit malcolm middleton ein altbekannter schotte - ob auf solopfaden oder gemeinsam mit aidan moffat als arab strap. auf seinem gleichnamigen album finden sich neun tracks. insgesamt erwarten den hörer knappe 47 minuten pure brillianz, was sonst ist zu erwarten? ob man dabei von einem instrumental-album mit gelegentlichen vocal-tracks oder von einem vocal-album mit gelegentlichen instrumental-songs sprechen soll, bleibt jedem selbst überlassen. was wir aber mit sicherheit wissen, ist, dass malcolm selber von einer kreuzung aus jan hammer und iron maiden spricht.

needwant get set to welcome you to the world of parisian super duo, the mekanism, with a debut ep that will make you fall in love with their spin on disco infused house music. effortlessly smooth and divinely deep, they capture an advanced and modern sound that will blow you away. the ep features three original tracks plus a remix from needwant favourite, mario basanov who continues to gain notoriety as both an individual artists and within his mario & vidis project.

the opening hits of the percussion stay smooth and relaxed, and the instruments come in one-by-one – first the synth, then the strings, then the brass – to create an experience thats both engaging and relaxing. this is the sort of music i would listen to if i cruised the streets of san francisco in the evenings. as >back to the bay< wraps up and pulls us into his remix of >screw up<, we get a dose of subscapes intensity, but its quickly pulled back into matty gs signature low-bass, hip-hop/dubstep fusion beats. >jam like a tek< adds in some vocal hooks to get the crowd chanting – and you are missing out if you dont add this into your mix. deep kick drums, a snappy snare, big distortion on the scratchy bass wobbles, and the vocals all come together perfectly to create a track thatll get people grinding like mad on the dancefloor.

fresh on the heels of their last ep for lip service, the main stem deliver again with a delicious full-length that sees ten years of musical trials and tribulations amalgamated into one lean danceable form

off we go and leave the cannibals all empty. the skies are lowering into the sea. gently pushed by stones we wonder/wander on. somewhere behind a rainbow, apartment houses quietly suspire their berlin. the cheeky spirit is pinching the nose with zest. watch them trip and do the mashed morale. we dance with them, but not for long. spirits are holding the upper hand again. still we miss a beat with a heart still strong. noisy colors all blending in one blue. i sit with you where the citys down low. we know no wrong in the sound of a song. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the pointy poets heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whos mad with magics saving factor. we wander on, stroll to and fro things weigh us out, no con, no pro, unlike the jesters saving factor we stick around too long a-go. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the meek musicians heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whose magics not an urban factor. strike up the band, play on and on for sweet sage music always wins just like the jesters magic scepter beats up and down, forgives all sins. this is when you come stepping in. a row of tender houses smash your knees. the skies are lowering some more. existences twitching here and there. rain reflects berlins icy glow: a frisking spirit on the tip of your nose. we dance with him for quite some time. no stopping a hand that holds up in a work. no missing a beat for a heart goes on. flamboyant whispers strike a chord back home. you come to me, im not alone, in the sound of a song we know no wrong

limited kanzleramt classics !

uttu drop this double aaa banger from chicagos legendary alias g, having released previously a wide selection of gangsta hip hop in the late ninties on labels diverse at trax & missing records, hes recently turned his hand to classic house with the help of local friends marcus mixx, king farley jackmaster funk & gene hunt.

nice picture vinyl limited to 300 copies. on the a side with oscar barila (plastic city / material series) and ataneus (ostwind / acker dub). on the b side, another 2 tracks by the producer sasha knyazev (triangle sun). quality and atemporal tech house pearls.

shortly after the idea of acting as a record label under the guidance of oliver schories, the first release is already upcoming. different artists from northern germany convinced with their qualities and they found their way on the >nordlichter ep<. mauro basso brings with his >calm water< a potential summer-hit, which should not be missing on any open air event in our opinion. friends of more bassy amusement should listen to the hamburg/bremen based duo apnØ with their >trøt<, a track which encourages even the coolest northern lights to get into action. on the flipside >meet me on the streets< brings some deeper sound onto your turntable, accompained by a video on youtube, the intention of bremen-based duo datastix becomes definitely clear. last but not least julie* from papenburg, who is spinning only vinyl for years, shows us with her >cheerful expression< again, how to make your legs perk up. our advice is: dont disappoint your mum and make your exercises enjoyable: do not forget your turnbeutel in your next set.

trio techno cover, it was just a question of time to reach the point when wayne considers himself to be the one to create a musical statement in order to show what he thinks about all the current status of some parts of the electronic dancemusic circus. he still suffers from too much so called >minimal< in his eyes and he wants back the energy he is missing on many occasions… >you know, techno without bass is like f…… without screwing him in…< some might say he s too late with this song, but thats simply wayne! in his universe the meaning of time is different to what we all would expect. anyway, he finally checked out garage band on the mac he recently >lended< from somebody he does not even know, and here we go with his first very own song. lyrics in german only and heavily inspired by one of the biggest hits from the 80ies from the german cult-formation >trio<, but to make a long story short: its waynes message that the so called minimal sound is definitely over now: >always klick and always klack, i can not tell how much it sucks...<

gel abril was missing on be as one for a long time now, 2 years that he spent consolidating his ever-growing career with originals and remixes on strictly rhythm, get physical, paragraph and playing all around the world in the best events and clubs. angola is destined to be another stormer from gel as this is a proper follow up to his classic >spells of yoruba<, stripped down techno beats with an ethnic flavour, its another hit for the israeli producer. >changes< subtle hypnotizing mood and its almost laid back approach will fit well in many record boxes, perfect for keeping the floor moving and grooving.

ovum is excited to bring you the debut ep from nico lahs. many know him from his tracks on 8 bit and for his ovum debut he has delivered two incredible slices of deepness. the clouded visions ep harkens back to the classic early ovum sound but this is clearly a 2011 version of it. the a side >late night< is deep, but yet pumping for any dance floor. the sound is reminsicent of a mid 90s mood ii swing, but with an updated twist. this will move any floor and is shore to be heard all over this summer. >all i desire” has a classic ny feel, with the only thing missing possibly being a husky male vocal. this track can take you back to the shelter. two amazing deep productions from a talent who is clearly on the rise!

perlon86.. going next level with miss dygas. 2 vinyls / 6 songs / 46 minutes. you are welcome!

after the very well-received work >in g< borngräber & strüver have not been resting on their laurels but made >reise< (journey). they extended the concept of >21th century electro motoric kraut< on the new album >urlaub< and added their preference for disco music. like a friend of the label said: >reise – sounds like a composition for the 20th birthday of carl craigs planet e<. borngräber & strüver have consistently worked on developing their minimalist compositions without taking into consideration conventions. the nearly 17-minute >reise< that starts extremely held back, grows into a groovy trip you can hardly escape. >berlin tribal music< has a radically minimalist approach and a surprising break like a portal to a parallel dimension. the last part of the album >dancing queen< has nothing to do with abba. the piece is a missing link between electronic h-pop and groovy club sounds.

cronlog, new label by rocco caine starts straight away with two very special tracks somehow dark and deep but definitely groovy and, of course, in the best deep- and dubtechno style and thats not all, another extremely interesting track to come is a dub rework from sawf (perc trax). almost a dj tool for its functionality and remarkable elements, this track shouldnt be missing in any techno set!

double 12 inch with bass-filled tonic for mind and body straight from the med school.

a long overdue rude 66 retrospective, that compiles acid, techno, idm and ambient tracks from his legendary acidplanet and djax days, with several unreleased gems from the same period. this release reveals the missing link between rudes iconic early acid sewer sound and the evil dragster electro-trance he has become known for in recent years. all tracks have been remastered and re-edited to appear now as youve never heard them before! no more eastern european carboard pressings, but spacious and thrilling sounds that finally really you immerse in the death race! very limited edtion on clear vinyl double album with free download and postersleeve.

marco zenker, the wonderboy from munich is up and looking for freedom again with his second record on ilian tape. invisible shadows was discovered by ourselves on the last ilian tape warehouse party back last year. when we heard it the first time on a big system - even marco himself - we were pretty surprised. its building up slowly and leads into a very open space - the perfect track to give the night another direction. remain silent after you heard that side and open your ears for the b side that sends us into a different sphere. here we go down. you almost can call that cut a meditation hymne - it has the same vibe as osho ashram s back then hosted by f. fuhlert. finally we have a tripping remix from one of the hottest dutch guys at the moment - conforce. known for his releases on meanwhile, delsin or rush hour he shows once again why holland is thechicago of europe. its just free spirited, soulful and openminded. qualities we are missing here more or less in bavaria. so we are trying to open up and change things. the time will come. kiss

with full releases just confirmed in the states and australia, the hype over his huge remix of classic ebtg track >missing< has only just started – yet dutch supremo fedde le grand cant seem to stop himself, exploding out of the stables with massive club banger >autosave<.

aviciis new single of 2011, street dancer is a great driving main room bomb and should not be missing on the dance floors this year! the swede takes breakmachines classic street dance from 1983 and gives his own unmistakable handwriting. enjoy the original mix and enjoy street dancing.

even in 2011 superstar recordings starts with a new brillant single tequila sunrise. afrojack and tocadisco created a great monster tune, which should not be missing in your record case

nice mark e remix !!

missing days and that ghost built the foundation for stefan goldmanns steady grip on todays state of the art in electronic music. both tracks were produced in 2001 and became the key works of his early years.

this is the original version of >against nature< as intended by the artistes that never got released back in 2000. it features the orignal and missing tracks, but for the 1st time in the correct sequence. as a brucy bonus you get the 1st pressing on clear as a bell vinyl and a great photo insert giving a glimpse into the past of how it was all done on the halas industrial estate - fond memories indeed....

steve summers is back with his third ep, this time around for greeces echovolt label. summers continues to play with his main inspirations, the energy and grit of hardy tape edits, melodies of larry heard, and deep bass tones of william s. this four track ep manages to capture a feeling of experimentation and authenticity thats often missing in modern dance music. strong 12 with timeless chicago house tracks! very cool!

what: dubstep 140 bpm glitchy magical sub-laden music ... after the success of kokeshis first full vinyl release with lungs dreamy dubstep >afterlife< single, alley cat is back pushing her kokeshi project once again, this time on co-production duties. joining up with kiat from singapore, this veteran has a well-cultivated back-catalogue including releases on soul:r and hospital.

3rd vinyl sampler by mostiko, delivering the most in-demand releases by chelley, eric chase, jessy and lambert & grinaert.

the second release of >vibes - new&rare music< brings rick wilhites long time friend and fellow 3chairs producer theo parrish to the table. theo gives us an adventurous ride like only theo can. starting out on a blues tip, this track morphs into a string laden jazz affair without missing a beat. epic stuff!
on the b-side its a one-way ride to chicago with ricardo miranda blasting on the car stereo. this relative newcomer, who has recorded for hour house is your rush and vega records, really outdoes himself on >urbanism<. as we cruise into town, heading straight to lakeshore drive, this track kicks off so soulful, yet so raw! it reminds us of the best days of prescription underground, on which this easily could have been released. addictive.

6 tracks of 1990s lost hip hop flava ... on some missing link i5h ... listen!

kremenerstrasse in prenzlauer berg, north-east berlin, five hundreds meters away from the mauerpark, not far from the flea market of arkonaplatz and the famous kastanienallee, right there stands the souvenir office. just a quick guided tour for you! the kitchen shared with the boys of turntable rockers has the best café latte of the street, and with entertainers of the likes of ali and basti, you always get extra spices (and funny anecdotes) with your meal. just book your table in advance. next-door, you will find the souvenir studio, the audio empire of philipp “santé . behind a two-meter-high wall of machines, surrounded by computers screens and synthesizers, you can imagine him working away on some funky keynotes and well-chosen kettledrums with ali and basti. it may well be stomping and uplifting but there’s still something missing… that little extra something, which turns this new tfschwrz track into a breath-taking floor filler comes from the office at the end of the corridor. where hundreds of 12? records collected by tiefschwarz over the years are stored and also where retty works, the jokester of souvenir, the good mood behind the desk of souvenir booking and the good moves behind the decks of souvenir’s dj booths. retty is otherwise known as the whistler

the essential subsolo imprint drops another indispensable release. on the a side we have >maximum height<: a electroesque static bass tune with cryptic ambience, nautical!. flip over for b side pressure. maximum width subsolos next pitch, not missing the strike zone. this knuckle ball will score for sure. incredible street track that will break bones

after the critically acclaimed album >where you go i go to<, and the >2< album with prins thomas, lindstrøm now returns again, this time with vocalist christabelle (also known to lindstrøm followers as solale). this 12 inch single is the second taster of the new 10 track album >real life is no cool< that will be released in january 2010. this 12inch contains 2 remixes of the album track baby can t stop by the much talked about prins thomas, and uk legends idjut boys. support: berlin mitte institut / fresh: nice disco sounds, will play. thanks for this !, sammy dee (perlon): like the perc edit!!!, tobi neumann (cocoon): wow, what a big tune!! this is a production, witch we are missing soo much in the current electronic stereotype ableton produced music. sounds fantastic and grooves like hell! will be for sure one of my big ney-tunes for tomorrow. full support! thanks for the music.. tobi

adultnappers original mix of monitor is a minimalist, atmospheric house outing with warm, evocative piano chords. percussive and synth soundscapes wash over the groove adding a stylish textural dynamic. conversely, mkl vs bgss (members of the group brazillian girls) step onto the scene with a live, organic funkafied jam that steps skillfully through afrobeat and retro disco/funk territory without missing a beat.

the 9th release on excentric muziks off-shoot rekluse brings with it a very welcome edition to the rekluse family, we are sure matt cooper is somebody who you will be hearing a lot more about in the nearest future, that is if you havent heard of him already...
from his mixmag >future hero< tag, to his efx1000 tutorial videos for pioneer (he has been likened to james zabiela but with bigger bass lines) and his ongoing residency at the dirty disco in leeds (the northern light was the original home for the club night which the ep title pays homage to), the only piece missing from his jigsaw was the production side of things, until now. he recently teamed up with spektre to launch their new respekt label with the >cuernos cubanos< collaboration, and now we are very proud to present matts first ever solo productions, brought together as >the northern light ep<.
>pack your trunks< is dark twisted statement of intent, with a hearthrob-esque hook giving off the feeling that the track is ever so slightly on the brink of loosing it, before that tough gloomy groove reminds you just why you were listening in the first place, and why you have to listen to it just that one more time...
>triptup< attacks with a driving upbeat vibe that also arrives with a crazy tinged edge to it, keeping the dance floor bouncing off the walls, this has never failed to receive anything less than devastating reactions during its many roadtests on our travels.
>the swinger< rounds off the ep with a kinky tech houser that swaps the power of its 2 harder brothers for some chirpy tomfoolery, without compromising on its absolute effectiveness to well and truly rock the party whilst getting completely stuck in your head. and dont forget the breakdown...

past, present & future all wrapped into one... we are very happy to welcome the newest members to the citydeep family, and straight off there smash hit for sole channel records. dasoul, fabry diglio & m.a.d. boss brings a brand new jam that moves in between deep and soulful house with out a missing beat! moon in taurus kicks it off with a dark and dirty feel but before it has worked its magic you have moved through deep and soulful to take listener on a ride. play this one loud and watch the dancefloor come together as one!
