lotd remains steadfast in its endeavours to offer the best in left field electronic dance music with these 2 tracks from tony lionni. golden is an eight and a half minute journey beginning with stripped down detroit ish synths and ending in more lush, piano & percussion driven territory, with vocal samples being laid overtop the entire ride. epic stuff. the warrior is a deep, late night affair with shades of chicago jack & echoes of basic channel dubness. both of these tracks display tonys depth of musical knowledge while having there sights set firmly in the now & beyond.

well 20 catalogue numbers and three ôthe cheapersö releases later, our ruede hagelstein dares to perform a solo dance on upon you. in this case- a chair dance. the name ôreise nach jerusalemö stands for the game moving chairs that ruede still remembers from his east german child hood.the principles of the track will be recognized by those who know the game. to all others the a1 side will appear to be a mean techno pusher. ôaron habritö also surprises the inclined listener with unexpected curves of tension but still remains on the house ground of reality and digs like ôlevithanö towards the thick underbrush of pre-christian mythology that ruede seemed to in any way have heard of in one of those brandenburg kibbuzes. shalom!

selected advent deal. - this debut release on new imprint numbercult is sure to make waves, pulling no punches with this weighty production. the series hits off with a anonymous artist (which most likely is not making his debut here, judging on the production skills). the a side kicks off landlines, 11 minutes of driving deepness, an overdriven stabbing subbass and solid percussion give the track monstrous bottom end with the hypnotic lead line almost vanishing in the vastness. this could be descriped as a kind of mid 90s techno... the rawer side of basic channel or fcom. an absolute sexy monster track that keeps pushing forward and remains its funky almost dubby drive. strong! from the b side clonic is a driving mills esque x 103 ish assault, layering discordant acid lines to produce an intense and relentless track, broken only once with soaring beautiful strings. a side is essential! the b side only for the headstrong. a great start for this new label from glasgow releasing limited releases of high calibre deep techno from a dynamic collective of producers. a label grounded on the basics of techno with an open mind to the future. and what a great start. check!!!

first vinyl pressing of twin infinitives since the original vinyl issue in 1990. after moving to san francisco, royal trux released the highly experimental double album twin infinitives. this album remains an extreme work on the periphery of rock music, worthy of being compared to lou reeds metal machine music and suicides debut album. at only four subdivided tracks, none of which clock in under 15 minutes, the record has plenty of time to weave a mesmerizing web that is sometimes menacing, sometimes startling. for all of its high brow allusions, twin infinitives nearly reeks of vice, a dark, sordid feel pervades the record, and the listener can almost picture the band recording in a filthy apartment in the middle of the night in various states of intoxication and debauchery.

jovonn is back and gracing the wax at coco soul with a slammin two tracker of the deepest techno laden nyc house music. the a-side with torched is rooted in that unmistakable new york afro groove while layers and layers of strings build up to support a classic jovonn keyboard grind. bangin snares and a heavy syncopation make torched ready for the floors from detroit to berlin & back. cliffhanger on the flip comes in straight and keeps building all the way through. this ones remains in the murky depths of a new york city basement while holding you over that edge but never letting

ruede hagelsteins the modest theme has proven to be one of souvenirs most provocative releases so far. released in the summer, the tracks dramatic horn hook is so epic it belongs in a science fiction film and as a piece of forward thinking techno, it ranks among one of souvenirs best. now the track is back with a remix from souvenir spearheads tiefschwarz alongside a new track from berlin based ruede. semikolon is another dark and dubby deep tech-housy outing for ruede that begins with a dramatic spoken word by naneci and ominous organ stabs. as the track progresses it takes on a chicago house vibe re-imagined at 10am in the panorama bar. an urgent bell begins to ring through the track raising the tension as the vocal intones a surreal chant before giving way to huge synth stabs that lead the track into a slow motion emotional explosion. just when things can get any more hectic the crescendo sinks to silence compressing the energy before the beats emerge back in their earlier deep house guise. ali and bast schwarz take their turn at remixing the modest theme fresh from their incendiary remix of emad kamandians kamanche for souvenir 012. the signature dramatic horn riff remains albeit injected with new percussion lending the track a tough tech house appeal that places it within the context of 2008s underground house sound. both tracks are another addition to souvenirs impressive collection of music aimed at the head just as much as they are at the heart and feet.

out of his basement in athens, george laimos expands his low frequencies science to ntrop recordings techno platform. while boomstu at the a-side is a jackin trippy techno cut, at the b-side, techeran remains calm and jazzy with a leon segka mix to converts the track to a dubby hypnotic version

loved by alex from tokyo, alex attias, ame, dixon, marcus worgull, peter kruder, roland appel, tony lionni and many more.. fabrice lig, the prince of everything electronic, is back after his very acclaimed x-slaves. he delivers the goods once again, starting off here with chapter one in a purple raw trilogy. first up is the track, based around a jerky syncopated rhythm and a very dry kick, which remains light all the way. as usual, lig’s arrangements evolve progressively before they wipe us away with their screeching pads and synthetic melodies. a great mixture of minimal techno and detroit nostalgia. no doubt, the more efficient track produced by fabrice lig and hammered by dixon, ame, alex attias, quarion… much more aggressive, bump bump is built around fat analogue sounds, or acid noises if you prefer which seem to emulate screaming animals. one is easily carried away by an animalistic groove that keeps on building from the beginning till the end. it all ends with the very funky the riff pourpre, a perfect crossover between metro area and parliament. the retro sounds sit nicely on a big fat beat, the kind which lig excels in.

aria is a striped back but purring with refined detail and melody. lees classic delicate and distinctive groove rich with percussive fills is present and correct. beautiful strings combine with an embellished swirling pad to create a lush palette of melody that will remain firmly lodged in your brain. with the tiger stripes remix, its as if lees original has been injected with growth hormones. the melody is intact and the vibe remains, albeit bigger, tougher and firmly peak time.

igor tchkotoua and dan duncan are true workaholics. not only are the two mallorquinos forming one of the most exciting techno duos of our time and play in the most famous clubs worldwide, they always make it to pop up in the studio to work on their releases on sonic society, wig records or like in the case of >deliverance<, the new 12inch on cocoon. >deliverance< starts quite cautious but the track becomes more and more complex – pig & dan give the dj a tool that fits the minimal raver like a custom-made suit. the b side is again one of those tracks that put a smile on your face. in >sly detector<, atmospheric techno sound unites with energetic celebration pleasure, just as we know it from tracks like >after ibiza< or >on to the beat<. the rolling hookline which has the necessary splash of acid is, together with the floating trance layer, adrenalising to such extent that nothing else remains to be done but to raise your hands in the air. the track was already a hit with many djs in 2007, and will be one – chosen in the right moment – on many dancefloors in 2008, too

nu school of deep house ! baaz music has matured so much in a couple of years, it is now something very special, that appears simple to your ears but is indeed properly produced and incredibly deep. baaz gained as well with hes recent works hes very own sound signature that is really incredibly sweet, groovy, intelligent and properly swinging. we think that this is one of our pearl record and we are simply proud of pressing it on black wax. dont believe the hype, copies remains copies, the truth is in the original !!

freak n chic label is proud to launch micro-fibres. dan ghenacia alongside marc antona introduces a tech oriented sub-label. spirit remains the same: upfront! music is moving to more toughness... to clubbing! vitamin d: d is a finely honed hybrid of proper minimal and full-bodied techno. its fast, sparkly, and hits from all angles. the tightly core is built around a perfect little metallic surprising

joel mull, another representative of the swedish techno community, releases his current vision of what is to happen on the dancefloors. it is different from what his fans know from the early days. with his debut single on cocoon >harmonautic string<, joel mull sends us to a journey through the track which is smoothly airy-fairy and thus perfect to dive into the land of dreams after a wild party night. even when speeding up after a short break with the drums dominating – the track remains harmonic and is designed to dance into the sun in the early morning hours. the b-side appears spacy and melancholic, but again, mull is able to layer his music so deep and brillant that the basic mood is still vicious with the track still coming along in a magical and elegant way. >blossom< is exactly the right thing for a cold winter night and reminds of the b-side of beyers cocoon release

finest minimal tech!! back with a new strong number 02! gs remains true to oneself and unites old friends: laurent bovey (laps, digitaline), gregory poncet (gregorythme, digitaline) and georg bleikolm (knor) spent their wild youth in lausanne. music always pushed them forward and now their ways crossed in zurich again.

nice price deal !!! nice electro based 6 tracker with a lot of cool influences from funk and disco. nice work - not to be missed

music, i need more music, music and more … with her previous eps >ultra glamour<, >hellraiser< and last but not least her collaboration with anthony rother on the >dont worry<-remix, xenia beliayeva, being in her mid-twenties, has established herself as an important representative for the new label sounds of datapunk. powerful and full of energy, beliayeva flirts with industrial noise but still remains full of emotion. this is also valid of course for her current single >music<, a co-production with the milan dj and producer dj remo, who until now has provided furore above all in his collaboration with singer chelonis r.jones, among other things on giant wheel and dance electric, (>black sabrina<, >empire<). >music< established a significantly pop music related side of beliayeva, certainly her most catchy datapunk release to date. on the flipside christophe dallarca aka kiko, who became a fixed component of the datapunk circle since his >tragolta<-ep, is brilliant with an energy loaded remix

last part of the vinyl edition of their new album… in a collectors sleeve ! the final part of >the life we choose< album series begins with >the question remains<. this track features three 303s, which modulate in perfect harmony through to the typical break-down, which hardfloor created in their cult track >acperience 1< back in 1992! >… me, three< - this is, at 131 bpm, the >fastest track< on the album. acid-techno at its best. please note - this part comes in the full album cover (in which you can also put in parts 1 & 2)

versatile are delighted with this new addition to their catalogue. a release made in belgium by detroit techno prodigy: fabrice lig. as you will notice on this new ep, the first white guys to have signed a record on kevin saundersons legendary label kms, remains faithful to the sound of motor city. a light and esoteric melody sets the tone of >x-slaves who changed the world<. the tight clap and kick drum leave room for the modulating bass. a voice similar to martin luther kings, repeats names of cities in which slavery prevailed, whilst pads stimulate the mental trip. the x slave is taken by the dancefloor, changing the world as he dances to the beat. “funk la termite” is elastic funk. binary rhythms, off-beat chords which keep the groove balanced whilst the hi-hats, like little insects, dig away at the beat, building it and deconstructing it as the sounds evolve. >the round of funky bugs< continues in the vein of creepy crawlies. here, the synths are more upfront, their acidic layering create a mixture of harmonic loops which will set all hells lose. the melodies and use of pads stay anchored in the detroit tradition, but this production fits just as well with all the current electro releases worthy of any good dancefloor

this is volume 2 of 7th citys classic series. it features one of seventh citys best selling releases, john tejadas funky anthem >timebomb<. when originally released in 2001 it became a massive track played in all the top clubs worldwide. despite having a incredibly prolific catalog of releases, timebomb still remains one of john tejadas biggest and best known records. also included is a special edit of paris-based producer jean guillaume cabannes (better known just as cabanne) >cant stand<. as with so many seventh city artists, his release on the label established him with a wider audience and he continues to have success to this day with his own-imprint minibar and as well with his collaborations with ark and david gluck. this version of >cant stand< is an edit by daniel bell, which emphasizes the tracks loopy flow. the original version of the track was released in 2002.

kaskade recently did some massive remixes of david morales here i am and pussycat dolls dont cha. kaskade is a special breed of house star, one who has increased in popularity over the past few years in an industry where most of the major players have at least a decade (often two) of stardom behind them. sorry is taken from kaskades third album love mysterious. though his trademark melodies, sensual vocalists, and emotionally driven sound remains intact, love mysterious is a bolder production and reflective of kaskade s growing acclaim and popularity worldwide. man of the moment dirty south did an amazing job on the remix, that rocked almost every party at miamis winter music conference

spanish producer dancelwerk returns with a second helping on sounderground records with a slamming release called >noises<. already gaining favour from the likes of inxec and sian these tracks do not disappoint! on the a side >strange voices< is a powerful, full on track that still remains gorgeously minimal. complete with heavy basses, lots of synth weirdness and a very deep yet dark >strange vocal< hook thst all adds up to a really sinister peak time track. friendly noises delivers an excellent b side with a really up front techy feel, skippy percussion and driving drums with a very very cool break down, lots of weirdness,nice!

this is the third tuning spork blues experiment. inspired by legends like miles davis and modern day techno producers like dandy jack, andreoni is forging wacked out new house sounds, in the true spirit of jazz. this ep is no exception, and it shows why the likes of ricardo villalobos believe that signor andreoni is an amazing musician. to begin the experiment, andreoni jams you deep into space, with some seriously fucked up effects that will have you hiding under your bedclothes. sleepover is perhaps the most techno cut on this release, but the deep haze of dub still remains, over a banging percussive track. on members the melodies are perfect as you expect from signor andreoni, and here the acid line is more prominent in the mix, over deep warbling bass notes. in borderline, nothing is as it seems. melodies fall down cliffs into weird drones, and everything seems a little skewed. this completes a 4 track ep from a unique talent in the world of deep electronic house music, with 4 distinctive colourful tracks that take the genre far away from the middlebrow. make sure you check out our third tuning spork blues experiment, even if you spent most of science class using bunsen burners as water pistols

dont worry, christophe dalla-ca aka kiko is not interested in a seventies disco revival, even if the tongue in cheek reference to john travolta in the title track of this ep might imply that. on the other hand, the work released by the man from grenoble for such renowned labels as ozone, hot banana, goodlife and turbo has consistently shown that kikos interpretation of techno from the 2000s also includes a conscious reworking of past dance floor orientated electronic music. in this sense, kiko has succeeded in making three stand alone, coherent interpretations of a mutual meltdown of new wave, disco and elektro, with the tracks on the >tragolta ep<. whether he is impressing with the best possible mix of ebm and dave clarkes red series (30.1) or enchanting us with the continuously jewel like, dazzling melancholic melodies of >electric burst< or >tragolta<– the fact remains true that he perfectly supplements this approach to the sound cosmos of datapunk

kaskade recently did some massive remixes of david morales here i am and pussycat dolls dont cha. kaskade is a special breed ofhouse star, one who has increased in popularity over the past few years in an industry where most of the major players have at least a decade (often two) of stardom behind them. sorry is taken from kaskades third album love mysterious. though his trademark melodies, sensual vocalists, and emotionally driven sound remains intact, love mysterious is a bolder production and reflective of kaskade s growing acclaim and popularity worldwide. man of the moment dirty south did and amazing job on the remix, that rocked almost every party at miamis winter music conference

originally hailing from halifax, nova scotia, canada, jon dacey a.k.a. dubious began playing in scuzzy lo-fi noise punk bands at age seventeen. an obsession with 4-track cassette recording spawning his initial productions. now residing in toronto, ontario, canada, dubious interests in crazed dance music fuel his dj sets and productions alike. playing everything from drums, guitar, bass and keys, his take on left field disco house production is distinctly his own. dubiouss musical appetites bounce from wild cosmic rock to blazing acid house, he has few boundaries, yet he remains focused on the funk first and foremost.in addition to his debut on bear funk gold he has also produced for deep freeze, truffle, loop: recordings and on prize (the label he founded). theres nothing dubious about this fellas music

bugz in the attic release the second single from the inspired debut album back in the dog house,a live favourite and deftly handled cover of yarborough and peoples 1980 bassline heavy dont stop the music. bugz, pioneers of deep and dirty dance music, brought a brimming confidence along with the experimentation of their debut, which glistens with stone cold funk, boogie and disco but remains resolutely contemporary thanks to their immersion in club culture and the broad pool of guest vocal talents at their disposal. for dont stop the music former basement jaxx collaborator sharlene hector was given the task of re doing a bugz favourite, and the result is an out and out west london bruk up twist that takes the basslines from p funk, the soul of the original and a certain pirate radio grit and delivers the very essence of bugz.

mindless boogie brings another 3 tracker edits bundle which sidesteps the obvious in favour of a more psychedelic approach. lead track >joe who< revisits >joe walsh - county fair<, but is completely re-arranged into an atmospheric instrumental. first track on the b-side is a re-edit of >faith healer< by >the sensational alex harvey band< with a lot of additional production. theres even an acid line! next on the b-side is a slow and sexy track originally by saint-tropez. why this hasnt been sampled yet and turned into a huge r&b hit, remains a mystery.

always treading the fine line between techno and hard house, player delivers their 23rd release that remains true to their successful formula.
