reference (planet e / echospace / beretta) consists of the detroit-based artists luke hess & brian kage. in the first reference vs project we squeezed some of the party out of seth troxler and some of the percussion expertise from ryan crosson to create the still sought after tracks >the fade< and >the bumps<. in the second installment of our reference vs series we wanted to get a bit more soulful, & deep with the music, and highlight two of the worlds finest dub techno artists - stephen hitchell (cv313) and marko furstenburg (surphase). stephen hitchell aka cv313 is first a sound engineer. his experiments with synthesis create a warm, ethereal, and organic analog sound all his own. in the reference vs projects we seek to extract the natural strengths of the artist. when we received the files from stephen we knew we were packing heat! we structured our zone around the life-like chord structure that cv313 so effortlessly creates and gave it some more dance floor flavor. we believe the track titled >the wake< will fill dance-floors over the summer months on the beach as well as in the clubs. what can we say. markos shuffled dub stab style has been in demand since the artist started releasing on thinner back in 2002. mr. fürstenbergs deep and emotional music is an extension of his character. we were happy to receive what we expected from marko, super percussive, cavernous, and soulful soundscapes. again we referenced the package out with some drones, new analog rhythms, and eureka. the zone continues relentlessly in >the swell< to carry the dancer through the night into another summer day in the sun

allow us to introduce creatures of habit. the brainchild of dj/producer brenden wesley, the boston outfit s membership boasts a wild band of guest players, with musical virtuosos and analogue gear whores alike. relentless jam sessions between wesley and close pals chas bronz & robbie roland yielded lustre , their debut offering on the esteemed solardisco label. an aural innuendo anchored by a hypnotic, low-slung bassline, the song deftly trades in warm, flirtatious instrumentation and studio wizardry. through his akult party, brenden s not only honed his chops as a dj, he s befriended a whole host of the new disco cognoscenti. amongst them are brooklyn s own nick chacona, who recently released his debut long player on moodmusic to much acclaim, and dfa darlings runaway, who have been reeled in for remix duties. both artists head straight into house territory with decidedly different results. chacona shoots for the stars with his cosmic take on the original, adding just the right amount of sleaze and putting in one of his finest reworks in recent memory. runaway deepen things out with aplomb, dusting off the rhodes to drive their quirky mix home. connecting the dots between boston and brooklyn discotheques, this ep marks quite the auspicious debut for creatures of habit.

d julzs bass culture records has undoubtedly been one of the major highlights of 2009. in just four releases the french label has set the bar for all others in terms of quality and 2010 is looking to be a groundbreaking year for them. the second release of 10 showcases the label head keeping it detroit, and a bit in the grey area - with the lov is easy release by anonym. anonym. the one who is anonymous. with releases on anonymous release, archipel, bloop, pariter, fof, and sushitech. anonym has also contributed the scoring soundtrack to works on display at the museum of moving images in nyc for pbfb. according to the man himself, i am anonym the one who is anonymous. i am anonymous because in any popular music form prone to be ransacked by the egos of its participants, a state of grace is best achieved and sustained by pursuing a life of anonymity. that preserves its creators from the warping stare of the media and its public in the process. his sound is tempered with grace & style, with a feeling of - detroit is my heart and often my songs sing her praises. i have known her all my life.

its been a while since the last rsb release, but then tracks like this dont come along every day! for their first vinyl appearance on a label other than their own, enigmatic german duo ancient methods do the honourable thing and break out the whip, a track that comes across like a 2-step party in the foundry of thor himself. lets lazily label it anvil techno, because as far as we are aware no has yet invented a genre that adequately desribes music such as this. and as we have come to expect, much the same can be said of the evil sickness that is eat like hawks by bjorn svin (with a little help from karsten pflum, jona olesen & copyflex!). it starts like it means to go on, with a gnarled loop and indecipherable distorted vocals, and is gradually tweaked and augmented to the point of destruction. all manner of ill bass, overdriven filters, zaps, clanky drums & feedback join the party before the whole affair is brought to an abrupt end by the strange foreign lady that we have come to know and love over the course of the track. truly music for small, sweaty, strobe-driven cellars.

cometomusic is proud to present the first release on their own imprint. alec and alberto met each other by accident. after some longer music chats they started exchanging track ideas and as a result we can present >yujuuu!<. the track is a real groover with a catchy hook & vocal line. as a bonustrack alec delivers >godfella< that can let you dream of a small fiesta party on cuba – with a allover happy vibe and some nice horns. as remixer they grabbed probably the man of the moment – m.in. after remixing heroes like radio slave or italoboyz and eps on robsoul, souvenir, micro.fon and others he just did another massive dancefloor work.

a1) new love - this elevating new track is deep, funky and sexy. the beat is ever growing, the bass never ending. disco mixes with deep winking and eye to electro. b1) low down - sounds like a completely different atmosphere. still funky, its the perfect tune for a poolside party in la as the sun is going down... smart, sexy ladies get the party started moving to this disco house dance tune. b2) dont stop is the natural conclusion to this 12inch. we re at the break of dawn when this drops, as the sun is rising. slow bpms and vocal intermissions for those whose feet still want to move to the groove.

superfly disco and funk edits from the detroit man of the moment rick the godson wilhite and his pal billy love on stilove4music. contains three proper party starters and one slow jam. definitely a buy on sight record for all detroit house and disco heads.

hive audio is here – a brand new label, run by the makers of the infamous hive club, located in the the industrial quarter of zurich. the imprint was founded by samuel gmur and adrian wöllhaf, better known as animal trainer with some great releasing on oliver koletzkis stil vor talent, amongst others. zurich is not only party capital of beautiful switzerland, it is more and more becoming a habitat for talented and creative music producers and djs, who will now get a new international platform. releases will be held mainly by residents of the hive club itself – benja will be given the honour to start off with his track paradose. >paradose< impresses with a funky percussion loop, ultra-brief chords and scantily applied vocal snippets. benja keeps it dust-dry, leaving out every kind of frippery and lifting the track to a real &#64258,,oor-&#64257,,ller without any razzmatazz needed. on the &#64258,,ip we have a remix by christian burkhardt, who needs no further introduction. he turns the number into a real techno loop monster, which will catch you within a few beats, and then wont let loose again. hypnotic and twinkle-toed at the same time, his remix easily will suit any after hour or peaktime set to the same degree. christian burkhardt himself is also one of our favourite guests in the club. this is why, of course, we are double happy to welcome a hive club resident on our hive audio 001.

mike minds only previous release, >acid machine<, has been tigas most played record since it was made. a full-time turbo employee, he has spent the past few years getting his brain around making techno, and continues to impress us with his output. his debut ep, >resonate<, is something of a departure for our label, and one we are very proud of.
its amazing to have this kind of music coming directly out of turbo hq, it nails a sound that we have always tried to cultivate. minimal without being boring, trippy without being predictable, unafraid of melody, and with just enough analog imperfection and warmth to it.
kebacid is the production alias for turbo all-stars jesper dahlbäck and jori hulkkonen. their previous releases on jespers defunct blank ltd are some of the best acid tracks of the decade. this is a monster that ought to keep all the die-hard turbo fans happy.
enjoy!

the particular view on a musical future might have been considerably different when olaf hilgenfeld (berlin) met iftah gabbai (jerusalem) for first sessions in 2004. the piano player hilgenfeld used the accordion that time mainly, whilst gabbai was using all instruments available, a computer was among those more by chance. only one year later the duo skinnerbox played regularly on such uplifting, innovative off-partys that came up in the new techno generation again.
that was just the beginning. skinnerbox have developed a purely electronically composed and performed music (partly featuring vocals by elle_p) – that is not based on loops but improvised techno inspired house and minimal house. the roles in the duo are clearly settled: olaf hilgenfeld – moog synthesizer, iftah gabbai – hardware drum machines, max/msp und ableton live.
all these distinct impacts and effects can be heard on their various releases from the last two years, but far better in their live sets. skinnerbox are an experience, taking you on expedition with paralyzing minimal, breaking house, hard-edged techno-jazz, and ambient electronica futurism.
it was a desire to eternalize this play- & colorful diversity, often just caused by the moment, as entire homogeneity. thus, they needed to leave temporarily their environmental techno and minimal house scapes. >king of spades and marmalades< – the result – is a jazz opus wrapped into a disco suitcase. it is a reminiscence as well as going far ahead of daily musical habits, shown not at least by the order of tracks, do not starting with a stunning hit of the album, but with 20 minutes of challenge.

juke and ghetto house hero dj gant-man was part of the fools gold family from the start - his remix of kid sisters >damn girl< was on the back of our very first release, quickly followed by production on kid sis >switch board< and shows around the country as her tour dj and hypeman. so naturally, we are very proud to present gants new solo single and debut fg artist release, >juke dat girl<.
from his earliest 12 inches on dance mania, to rocking parties around the world on the rave and club circuts alongside legends like paul johnson, gant has been pushing his signature chicago sound for almost two decades - mixing up rapid-fire juke beats while referencing all the house and disco classics that first paved the way. >juke dat girl< is the latest development of gants hybrid approach, slowing the bpms down to a more universal tempo but keeping the hyper, party-starting energy intact.
the banging original also comes backed with two massive remixes - an amped-up rave version from the heavily buzzed dc duo nadastrom and a groove-filled uk funky house rework from ex-bugz in the attic producers greenmoney. the entire single is a dj must-have, so pick it up and work! and juke! and work! and juke…

a 12inch ep called here we come is filled with funky, groove and latin techno ryhmes from well known and respected artists in today s techno scene. a side contains american express techno machine bryant baker cooperating with croatian dj and producer miche. their track just deserves to be on the pole position spot a1. funky, groove and unique are just 3 words describing their work as a team. a2 spot represented by upcoming spanish star rantan.
da ghetto party is one track among the others which is really special and exclusively done for >beat forming< this lp. nice and smooth, groove and driving techno.
b side has been reserved for a latino dancefloor kicker done by josh love. the track is called sexiest rasta. jamaican rasta voice, nice groove beat and overrated control over everything. josh did a good work by making this happen. great track to jump on!
the last but not the least is a track done by kai aka vortechtral on b2. nice, smooth, groove and melodic techno track to dance on. great one for filling the 3rd deck with >the badman< voice thru the track.
beatformers are sure that this is an ep to keep an eye on. here we come ep is one of the newest on the market. a new era of techno on the 12inch!

the debut situation release has been one of our best selling 12s of the year, thankfully the boys are back with yet another massive release. having taken the edits scene by storm with their amazing debut release on disco deviance and the launch of their own imprint with an equally strong set of cuts, the situation crew have now established themselves as favourites of some of the worlds leading disco djs like greg wilson, ashley beedle, optimo, horse meat disco, the revenge and pete herbert amongst others. on this release the seriously percussive disco vibes of late in the love break fuses the sounds of paul simon with some salsoul flavours to produce a truly inspired musical blend. heavily influenced by the sound and attitude of greg wilson, its a perfect track for any disco or balearic dj set. flip the record over and the party really starts to lift off as goblin gets mashed up with the b52s and reworked into a wicked, percussion driven slice of disco funk. absolute dance floor madness situation style

this project started during the 2007 winter music conference when mr. marquez dropped there a selfmade bootleg of michael jacksons billie jean called mikelata and it was a pure happiness feeling on the dancefloors. 1 year later rocco, danny marques & dj fudge got together for a serious studio session with the perfect voice for this production: ricky galliano, a swiss based party and nightlife personality. the project was ready months before one of the sadest day of musics history happened: michael jackson passed away. now we changed the project in a tribute for the king of pop.

the souvenir family grows this fall with two newcomers, two new remixes and four new essential tracks. please welcome warmly the global vibes of cj jeff, m-in and the remixes of kreon and sante on souvenir021. on the a-side, souvenir celebrates the talented greek electronic scene. c.j. jeff aka nikos safiris gradually built his sound through releases on his own label rythmetic or modern love. he signs a remarkable entry on souvenir with the a-side >got 2 b<. wave your arms! take a breath! a tribe of incredible bongos players is surrounding you, when the vocals of an androgyny shaman start compelling you to a never-ending foot-stomping dance. you are right, where you want to be. damn, it s >got 2 b< a hit. kreon has been raising a fair share of interest lately with appearances on cecille numbers, resopal or robsoul. he signed a dub remix and a perfect spell to push to the party to the early sun shines of the day. back to germany on the b-side! m-in aka marcus ferdinand from frankfurt has spread his talents of producer with releases for off or get digital, and early supports from josh wink, johnny d, thomas schumacher or dj t. again we are talking about deep sensations, haunting vocals and afro rhythms. the tiefschwarz brothers have hammered >capetown river boating< on the road this summer. now its your turn to send a blessing from south africa to your crowd. studio partner of ali and basti, philip sante maier has barely released >dambalaa< last month, that he is already back in production. nobody will complain. his trademark, a clearly percussive approach and a dizzying groove particularly fitted with >capetown river boating<. 2 - 2, we gladly go overtime!

limited edition lp!
ironic? no, it’s dead serious: sally shapiro keeps on dreaming of barbie and ken. sometimes good things come to those who wait, as is the case with sally shapiro. one shouldn’t really imagine the bashful swede from göteborg, who never performs live, setting a new trend for turning down lucrative offers. and the thought that she is working on something hip, is most likely even a little eerie for her. after all, she s just into something, which she’s been doing since her childhood in the 1980s — singing songs in the style of her idol sandra (”maria magdalena“). if she hadn’t met her companion johan agebjörn, who despite his musical socialization with techno in the 1990s has been deep into italo disco for the past few years and is a collector of zyx records, sally’s passion for synthi songs and fairy-like female vocals would have remained private. however, johan was screwing together some italo-style songs when he asked sally (whose voice he’d only heard from a previous christmas party karaoke) if she would improvise on his soft keyboard tunes, their collaboration was a done deal.
subsequent to their first releases on the labels diskokaine and permanent vacation, sally shapiro suddenly found herself in the midst of the ultra-hip neo/italo-disco movement, which is especially big in scandinavia. why of all things on the northern peninsula, where one traditionally listens to black metal and indie rock played with legs spread apart, the peculiar, yet sunny disco music became such an export hit, stays one of the mysteries of the pop business. it’s a fact, though, that next to internationally celebrated norwegian neodisco-heroes lindström, prins thomas and todd terje, the lovely sally has become the scandinavian disco-act in the mean time.

westpark unit (aka herb lf & ingo saenger) are back with their annual release on farside records after some work for labels like dessous, tjumy, future classic or fear of flying. this time, they provide 4 brandnew trax for the vinyl edition. more forever might be familiar to a few people that followed the music of westpark unit over the years. the tune is a special rework of their first ever limited 12inch release forever back in 2002 on draft recordings. more forever took some of the original deep harmonies, keeps parts of the piano loop and the beautiful sampled hook and should be a soulful bomb on the 2009 floors. even deeper 45 grows and grows with a very intensely chord, takes you on a trip with its driving bassline and is the other dubby deep house tune here. the first demo version received some nice feedback / chartings / plays from djs like dplay, matt flores or shur i kan. while speaking of house (not house), jam hot and familiar sequence are musically caught somewhere in between the styles. jam hot might be more funk than house with sexy 104 bpm, is bouncing like hell and keeps the crowd shaking and moving. familiar sequence appeals to the disco fanatics out there, has a little of a balearic vibe and is also keeping things slow. both tunes are the perfect startup into the night. we think this is the right tempo for party anyway.

joss moog drops his 1st solo ep on minority after having successful previous outings on robsoul. fat mamma is a jacked up chicago track that will be doing the rounds with the likes of derrick carter & mark farina. rhodes trip is armed with deep chords and slick beats and is reminiscent of room 25. everything inside has all the right ingredients to kick start a party, tough beats, smooth vocal stabs and a killer bass line. joss finishes the ep off in style with a big jazz bass line, groovy keys and a hypnotic sax that would work the dance floor at any time of the night.

chanty poe return with this colossal double header featuring the vocal talents of miss oddkidd and c. monts, a whole bunch of party starting remixes, and brand spanking new dancefloor bomb bass invader.

next killer by nadastrom!! the newly revitalised dubsided keep up the pressure with another ep of uncomprising bass-heavy styles courtesy of debutants nadastrom. the title track æpussyÆ contains a massive sample we sure youÆll recognize brought bang up to date via nadastromÆs clever vocal edits and huge peaktime breakdownà when it drops expect dancefloor carnage! æthe way you movinÆÆ has a sweet half-time drop before a warped bassline crashes the partyà blaqstarr gets in on the act with a nifty vocal turn on ætween me + uÆ riding a bouncy super-charged grooveà æritalinÆ rounds off the sonic assault with super sized old skool stabs and filthy bass dropsà four party starters that will rock any dancefloor!

s up friends n freaks !! the international freakshow theatre is rising its stage curtain for opening a hopefully hot summer season 2009. with our 13th release we bring you two young guns who - so far - are new to the international freakshows roster. nevertheless basti grub from frankfurt / germany and dj w!ld from paris / france will definitely show their skills with 2 massive tracks on if-13! both tunes are properly carrying the spirit of an hedonistic summer party! the a-side comes along with mr.basti grubs marchgang. his trip into the depths of electronic music lead him through all the wellknown clubs in and around frankfurt city in the first place. nowadays he runs his own little label called hoehenregler, releasing quality house & techno music. his track on if-13 feels like a journey into the wonderland of minimal fusiontechno. bastis tune is one of those that are making you smile while you are rocking our socks off hard on the dancefloor! his tune marchgang sounds a bit like being the clash of 1920s music with the 21st centuries minimal house sound! and do you know what?! à the crazy combination fully works - give it a try folks! the flip side delivers dj w!lds balkan2?. dj w!lds musical career started 13 years ago in france with his first dj-attempts behind the decks. today the french mastermind is presenting his sound from one continent to another, as a tireless traveller he is spreading hot underground music to the people with his technical mixes. after having started his own label catwash together with chris carrier a couple of years ago, his reputation as a producer is constantly growing all around the planet! for if-13, dj w!ld brings us balkan2? - an epic and massive rollin sambaesque techhouse bomb, that has the dynamic and power to make you o nuts! this track is pure latin groove in a postmodern shape that will deeply satisfy all of you who are into the style of artists like ricardo villalobos or luciano, to name a few!

miss dica is barbara tampiÚr, an austrian producer and dj, now resident in berlin. this is her first ep as miss dica, although she previously released an ep as synth model (with vito caliente). all tracks are co-written and co-produced by the berlin dj/producer, ronald christoph. on her myspace page, miss dica describes her music as electro/techno/thrash , which neatly describes what this ep is. the tracks are well crafted and musically adventurous, and it s these elements that caught the ears of third ear. the tracks have a feel and atmosphere that evokes raving dance floors. these tracks are for people who like to let go and party, and have their neurons sonically tweaked. this record does both.

this summer beni will continue to reign the dancefloor supreme with a new monster slab of black plastic, maximus featuring vocals from the mighty sam sparro. who put the fun in acid-funk you ask? the answer is: beni did. a low-slung exercise in dark and dirty arpeggiated sleaze, maximus marries a sparse bubble-groove that creeps up behind you and licks your ear with a very purple vocal performance by sparro to devastating effect. the resulting track is something akin to kiss-era prince and friends dirty dancing at a toga party while ancient rome burns down around them. on the flipside beni and nicky night time give maximus a night-time re-dub rubdown, taking the track away from the creepy funk freak and towards a straighter slammer jammer, favouring blatant dancefloor manipulation over the subtle and the sexy. also featured (and included on the next kitsune maison 7 installment) is fringe element, which encapsulates the feeling of surfing on a shooting star like never before, with beni sitting proudly at the controls. an electronic orchestra of descending basslines, vocoder snippets, bleeps and acid squeaks, fringe element caps off another compelling chapter in benis lifelong voyage through dance. after the cover of his first ep my love sees you made by geneviÞve gauckler, his new 12 is illustrated by french artist andre.

after being influenced by mix-tapes of artists such as richie hawtin, dustin began writing music purely for fun. shortly after, dustin met future-partner ian lehman, who was established in the mid-west rave scene. ian explained to him that music similar to his was played at parties called raves. ian invited him to one of his shows and dustin took his offer to see what he was talking about. after being exposed to just one party, dustin knew this was his future. dustin started doing a live pa at various local parties and quickly became a favorite. after a year, dustin stepped up to the decks and won just as much respect as he did with his productions. in early 2001, dustin and ian both agreed to take things to the next level. they put a halt on bookings and concentrated on the studio. a year later their work had emerged onto vinyl and all over the internet, creating a serious buzz. abiotic was born, and the duo formed the attack people. a few words can easily describe dustin zahnÆs style: moody, tribal, dark, and hypnotic. since dustin co-founded abiotic recordings with ian lehman in 2001, heÆs finished projects for labels such as livewire records (detroit), analytic trail (italy) and invasion (belgium). his tracks have been received support from techno producers such as redhead, adam beyer, danilo vigorito, tim xavier, ben sims, chris liebing, dave clarke, umek

10inch !!!! this is something special. 10 years after its very limited release (simply due to a low budget and limited sales expectations, not to try and make the record scarce), norm talleys the journey is picked up by a a few hip berlin djs, and a fire starts with the record being offered on ebay for over €100.00, because nobody can find a copy. even norm had to borrow a copy when he went to dj in berlin and the berlin party crowd had already asked him to confirm if he was bringing the record..no joke. so here is that tune, the journey, now re-mastered by stefan betke and cut by andreas@schnittstelle, and sounding very nice. on the flip is the unreleased in yo soul, chosen by third ear to complement the journey and complete a full on in your face piece of norm talley groove. and to round it off, its on a 10. cool and compact. just like norm, who is known in the dj circles of detroit as a secret weapon.. need your party fixing?... call norm talley. serge at clone kindly added a few words... nice re-issue of an obscure dj favorite produced by norm talley and previously released on the nouveau riche label from detroit. here you have two tracks that turn out to be great dj tracks when played out loud. the journey somehow got lost in obscurity. but luckily someone was clever enough to get it back out again, together with the previously unreleased in yo soul, and here they are... 10 inches of pleasure! pure detroit house music as we like it
