there is a new name on cargo edition, but by no means an unknown one. as a dj markus schatz has been on the move for years now, all the while maintaining his roots in the berlin club scene. markus started producing in 2004 and both his solo eps and collaborations with tom clark on highgrade records and opossum recordings last year clearly demonstrate that his talents go far beyond the turntables. and now for his first ep on cargo edition, markus takes a step further into the musical spectrum. drippin is a nimble house track accented with a note of funk and the smooth vocals of sean andino, giving the track a slight pop-appeal. in contrast flippin gives us a beautifully reduced form of house all driven by a powerful rolling bass line, a textbook example of less is more. as a perfect ending restart surprises with its smooth house arrangements and sophisticated deepness. a truly versatile ep from a truly versatile producer.

cyber dance records unleash their fifth record entitled somewhere out on the nightside. the ep consists of four tracks introducing a new batch of artists to the cyber dance cartel, brassica, serious lover, bill ambrose and melanie houston. brassica is the music of hackney bedroom producer michael anthony wright. hes had a couple of records on dissident and has a few more lined up for some other quite well-known labels over the next year. ballo dei morti was conceived one dark christmas day in milan and features the chorus of slayers dead skin mask vocoded in italian. the track has been eagerly awaited on vinyl after several months of attention through blogs such as 20 jazz funk greats and vice magazines music blog. serious lover is the brain-child of london based producer sam ryan who fuses electro-soul influences of early jam and lewis production with a more modern, harder sound, employing vintage synths and archaic drum machines in the studio and electronic musicians for the full live show. bill ambrose has been producing music on his collection of vintage synths and drum machines for over a decade, working behind the scenes as a producer or engineer on several releases. he wrote paranoid specifically for cyber dance earlier this year. melanie houston is a dj, musician and producer from london with a passion for dark, emotional music and a previous history in berlin where she djd and contributed music for the cult techno label tresor. with influences incorporating everything from avant-garde electronics to 80s synth pop, melanies as renowned for her skills on the turntables in the mix as for her abilities in the studio.

support from the worlds finest djs and artists such as pier bucci, argenis brito, butane, maetrik, gregory shiff, ambivalent, and id, barem, and noah pred.
this four-track vinyl is an absolute must have for those who love to play a chugging, driving style of minimal and techno. produced by barcelonas pablo bolivar, >looking for a shape<, pushes the depth and groove that he is known for, but in a more aggressive yet subtle way. the original doesnt allow one to breath with constant changes in percussion and amazing flow. his >phase two< track will annihilate the speakers in clubs with deep bass and is a sharp, tightly wound percussive masterpiece.
the remixes offered are by monkey brothers, who take a very different turn with the track and offer a soft vocal and is perfect for the dance-floor as it delivers a strong pop for those later in the night moments. finally, the last track on the record is hidden recordings owner deepak sharma + dieter krauses interpretation of the original. they have created a more slowed down, druggy, groovier version of the original. its not quite as smooth as the original and thats a good thing as the extra glitch is great for those who need more punch in their sets. there is something in this release for all kinds of djs.

the process of artistic creation is fundamentally determined by the environment of the artist. some cities and geographical locations are synonymous with the artistic techniques and crafts in which their populations became specialized. the muted and subtle sunsets of monets paintings are nothing else but a truthful interpretation of the actual nuances of a parisian twilight - along with a great dose of the artistic wizardry.
these cities and their artistic communities, are the legendary ones that remain in history. defending a fantastic track record in electronic music throughout recent times, rosario - the capital city of the santa fe province in argentina - is one of these places.
franco cinelli, nico purman, andres zacco and jorge savoretti are the leading figures who have, over the last decade, turned rosario into the great sound lab that it is. while developing their own sound and story individually, these boys never forget about their common origin, and the vibe that truly unites them together. on this occasion, they all come around remixing their young friend capes >le post< ep.
this record is pure mother of pearl. it is a tribute to rosario and its prolific actors.

high on the heels of their brand new album >24/7< gus gus serve us the second single outtake. >thin ice< is undeniably the key song on the album and therfore screamed for being revisited for dancefloor purposes. the a-side belongs entirely to the hamburg based trio wareika, which is not only sharing the tourbus as support act with our icelandic heroes on their extensive >tanz mit mir< tour but also raised some eyebrows with excellent releases onlabels like tartelet, connaisseur, liebe/detail or eskimo. their take on >thin ice< is a wonderful, epic journey into contemporary deephouse - approaching the original from its intimate, emotional side before taking a total different turn in the last third of the track. we have no clue where this angelic voice transcended from but for sure it gives us gigantic goosebumps. on the flip, matteo esse and sant aka analog people in a digital world deliver proof that their brilliant remake of st germain, >rose rouge< was not just a one-hit-wonder. it was and still is hammered by the top league djs like pete tong, luciano, michael mayer and many more. they know exactly which buttons to push in order to make this worlds dancefloors happy.

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.

big with: eric morillo, groove armada, funk dvoid, jimpster, ante perry, dj hell, gregor tresher, karotte, martin landsky, michael reinboth, phonique, thomas schumacher, anthony collins, laurent garnier, zoo brazil, mijk van dijk, brothers vibe, danny tenaglia, plump djs, ...

huge and stunning 80s / disco influenced house tune! incl redanka mix! xandra is an 80s influenced summer house track with flying chords and huge electro guitar. to bring the track up to the level it has taken the collaboration of three masterminds. the heavy sound of danish rock guitarist peter , the sexy italo vocals by french singer yeniloca and a production by club84. this talented danish producer is well known for his house productions. with releases on brandnewvibe, d-tracks industry and many more, club84 is well underway. once you ve heard his tracks, we re sure you ll love it. we are proud to announce that we ve had the possibility to welcome redanka (andy holt) on board at observe. he is well known for his international remixes of top artists such as fatboy slim and u2. he has turned this song into a dance floor killer.

one of rising musics hotly anticipated releases of the summer is here! san francisco rain is a pure, timeless piece of house music. lush arrangement and incredible vocals take the original to another level. the track also received its worldwide debut on pete tongs essential selection 19th june. chris lake turns in one of his biggest remixes to date – taking the original by the horns and injecting a seriously heavy amount of tech!

the mind melt keeps melting. pretty soon we will just be puddles of freaky essential oils, reduced down to our effervescent essence, like jasmine, or dry kool-aid. of course we are talking about onur Ízers album kasmir, the gift that keeps on giving. once again renowned artists have come out in full force reworking selected tracks off onurs album for vakants remix-only vr. first up is mr. rajko m³ller, better known as isolÚe, who having spent some time growing up in algeria, continues with the african remixer theme (tunisian born loco dice remixed eclipse on part 1. you know us, as if we even need an excuse to work in africa somehow.) isolÚe takes onurs otherwise chilling innervoice and reinterprets it into a thick warm blanket of reassuring bounce. flipping the record inverts dimensions of time and space. abyssfully deep legend baby ford takes the already ethereal aida and turns it into the soundtrack for finding the god particle. its scary, yes, but ultimately it could explain everything.

played by: baby ford, trickski, julius steinhoff, anthony collins, philip bader, dirty doering, lil tony, kotelett & zadak, karotte,.. _ very special one sided 12 inch_ once again the latest white release is a reinvention of the label itself and pre-announces its early ending years in advance. this release is a very special one... it is from oliver ton and can be understood as the >very last number of the night<, that is why it is catalogued as the white- 999. oliver ton invited many musicians for jamming sessions into the studio of his production partner >ronald christoph<, in order to create a unique sounding. the final results are >hasta el fin< a song, which will turn every afterhour upside down, especially during summer! the song simply has it all. we love its humor and see it as an ironic statement of the minimalhouse hype.... thats why it matches so beautiful to white... or not.... and thats what we love about it, say the creators of white.

tuccillo joins delusions of grandeur for their forth release turning in two tracks of funk injected house that will work wonders on the dancefloor. hot from his releases with willie graff on freerange, circus company, drumpoet and liebe*detail, the ibizan producer delivers once again with a release that will put him firmly on the hype list for 2009. panorama is one of those tracks that will be played by djs right across the board and creates a killer vibe whether its at its original tempo of 118 or pitched right up for peak time action. the rolling beats, looped up guitar hit and siren synths create a mighty track that treads a familiar path but does so in such style that we challenge you not to get bitten by the bug. taken things in an altogether deeper, darker and more twisted direction with have switzerlands finest kalabrese taking care of the remix. his very capable hands and ears, not to mention vocal skills, have resulted in a warped, acidified excursion full of bottom end pressure and brilliant percussion. a real trip this one. finally, on the flip, we have tuccillos this time, taking things back into house territory with a funk filled workout that utilizes a pitched down vocal and horn stabs to great effect. that doesnt sound great on paper we know, but give it a listen cos it works a treat.

20 years time, when vinyl diggers are hunting the most obscure house and techno treasures from the 90s and noughties, theyll probably turn to expert patrick specke for assistance. this dj and producer from düsseldorf is dedicated to the machines that he uses to craft his metallic, shimmying tunes - but hes equally committed to collecting the best pieces of vinyl that walk the earth. you can hear it in his tracks for this desolat release: a solid understanding of the space between the beats and the subtly textured samples that help make up a fine dance-floor groove. tracks like get me out and bitchual linestepper use tight drum loops to build the kind of stealth attack that lends itself to dancefloor damage. on naggin me the building blocks that make up the classiest 4/4 recordings are reshuffled and stretched out - from here to mars and back

ed’s first offering for autoreply references the early building blocks laid down by pioneers such as carl craig or robert hood twisting & turning them with his own crisp production & drum programming with the end result being a unique contemporary take on modern dancefloor techno. both tracks effortlessly build teasing as they progress sometimes climaxing but always leaving you thirsty for more. the ballroom is a deep complex work that starts its journey showing the characteristics of a light stepping waltz - as the track progresses something more sinister starts to emerge & the mood subtlety transfers to a dark prominent space tango. this track will not only make you dance, it will also make you feel nervous & excited! the well tempered clavier – this track has it all: dancefloor bomb - dj tool – 9 ½ minutes of absolute linear pleasure making a statement from the word go with its solid kick and catchy lead synth floating in and out of the mix building to an unmissable break which is guaranteed to get cheers from the dancefloor + beyond. serious techno for serious djs. linienwerk – this is the perfect track to help build a room or wake up an afterparty, beautifully paced with an organic feel not to mention the dark synth stabs that seem to cover the entire stereo field.

following the success of his last lp, chronicles of never, and his recent track jedwab on nick curlys 8bit imprint, marcin czubala makes his return to mobilee with mezcalinna. continuing his string of exceptional releases bearing his unmistakable signature marksùslinky, undulating grooves full of bizarre twists and turns that ceaselessly continue to surprise the listenerùmezcalinna is comprised of two tracks whose continuities only serve to highlight the ways in which they differentiate themselves from and act as complements to one another. day 1 begins with a heavy bass line echoed by a stuttering percussive beat that guides the rhythm until the vocal chants and kick drum drop. accented by occasional drum fills and cymbal crashes, the track reaches its climax with the entrance of a lone piano chord that, despite its initially alienating presence, ultimately serves as a means of melding and unifying the tracks constituent components. if day 1 is an early morning track, day 2 provides its counterpart as a nighttime dance floor stormer with a darker sound and haunting, reverb-laced vocals. also beginning with a splattering of percussion but taking a decidedly somber turn with dissonant synthesizer stabs and an eerie vocal loop that shadows the track from beginning to end, rhythm and creative use of contorted vocals lead the way as this track zigzags in a way that only marcin czubala can make music do

yeah, our favourite b boy house band soultourist is back with old strength! the fo eva ep is a timeless beauty with different shades. the title track is a booty bouncing dubhouse tune, which is reducing to the max to let the bassline and the beatz shine. wild catz is definitely bringing back memories to their 2007 hit turn loose and with televised they are expressing their peaktime moments. gruber & nuernberg from germany delivered a serious remix of fo eva and you can be sure that this one will be big for fans of the new german house movement. all in all its just a great work and they can certainly be proud of their originality...

cortney tidwell has confirmed details of the first single to be taken from her forthcoming album boys which is – according to tidwell – >about two kids in love, fighting, and they eventually kill themselves. its a modern day romeo and juliet.< undeniably one of the most electronic songs shes written, it calls upon diverse influences like new order and depeche mode and packs a typically impressive melodic punch. the track will be available as a special single edit, and is accompanied by exclusive mixes and an a cappella version. after the success of ewan pearsons remix of the title track to her debut album dont let stars keep us tangled up (a pitchfork track of the year 2007) duties are this time handled by simon baker and daphni. bakers remixes for radioslave and simian mobile disco have confirmed his status as one of the most exciting djsand producers around, and he gives the track a technicolor tech-house workover perfect for summer twilight. daphni – aka dan snaith, aka caribou – has meanwhile turned in a fourteen minute monster, a trippy techno bastard that sneaks up gently, growing relentlessly until it leaves listeners dizzy and euphoric.

district raw is the new label from fabio giannelli, born from an independence desire and from his strong passion for the 12 inch. district raw is a label that looks to the future, considerating artists from all the globe and turning towards the new concept of house, without limitations. the release 001 contains two original tracks from yakine, an artist from the french capital, already known for his releases on eklo and jetaime records and also coming on the best known circus company. the release will also include two rmx, one from fabio giannelli and the other from mirco violi, an italian talended guy who is building up an excellent reputation with releases on heimatmelodie, off, be chosen. the first release is now finding a great feedback from djs like: loco dice, luciano, nick curly, lauhaus, nima gorj, laurent garnier, ilario alicante, gel abril and others.stay tuned!

after 9 successful years and 36 releases on their label >festplatten<, the teichmann brothers are already unleashing their third release, transistor vamp, on their new artist label teichtracks. true to the motto of the tt-series this offspring of analogue machinery is also designated for the dancefloor. the title track is a 12 minute trip, an unstoppable modulating organism from the deepest depths that subtly and powerfully creeps forth. you smell the greasy oil of detroit, you inhale the dusty air of berlin and when you open your eyes, the next day has already begunà here, the past is just as present as the present. deja-vu? or did transistor vamp already infect you during one of the brothers many live sets? those who turn the record over will find, alongside a condensed 7 minute edit of the title track, another independent micro organism. micro is a game of rhythm and bass, reduced to the very essence of groove. a poker face of a track whose accumulative tension spans 6 minutes. like a balloon filled to bursting it knows how to stretch its limits and, without badding an eyelid, it waits for the explosion. minimal? of course! but here you can still hear the groan of the mixer and effects!

belgiums number one techno dj marco bailey is turning 50! well no, not really, his label is! mb elektronics is now at its mythical 50th release, a good reason for a fierce party! joining in are pig & dan (cocoon), nic fanciulli (saved), filterheadz (intec) and davy dee & danny rodriguez (mb elektronics). congrats marco!!! this packages comes on a nice golden vinyl! tiefschwarz: pig&dan mix is cool!

the second instalment of the aprÚs vinyl series sees australian producer touch sensitive (also a member of van she) kicking things off with >body stop<, an italo disco stomper thats been at home in the fc catalogue for quite some time. recently unearthed by london based producer toby tobias in a chart of >hidden gems< it seemed only natural to ask toby to remix body stop and the result sees toby putting more space in the track, pushing it further onto the dancefloor and keeping it playful all at once. on the flip we take the uk connection a little further with leeds based producer bonar bradberry floating into cosmic territory with >fought & won< whilst toby tobias turns in some glorious tour-bus-disco on >azul blue<, guitars and acid lines sitting comfortably side by side for the ride.

after releases on established labels like smallville, liebe*detail, cargo edition, freude am tanzen and more, daniel stefanik, sven tasnadi und stefan schultz (juno6) decided to provide their own basis in their hometown leipzig. oh!yeah! is supposed to be a platform for own productions that wont go with conventional and profit-oriented concepts. oh!yeah! wants to be different! somewhere between couch and dancefloor, if you like even a bit gaga. it shall reflect the freaky and humorous side of the three guys. one at a time, the releases of daniel, sven and stefan will appear in turns. we save our breath and cheesy speeches the music speaks for itself. have fun with oh!yeah!001,

after the well received dvk remixes subsitenz thought its only fitting to pair up one of dnbs hardest and bulgarias biggest export cooh with the two south london stow aways dvk. there fruits of their labor as you would expect is fooking insane. off the leash is not for the faint hearted or pregnant a relentless driver of a track with beats that mutate and evolve constantly over subs fatter than dawn frenchs ass. with the signature dvk rolling percs and pumping side chained filth matched with coohs lethal arrangements and movement of beats off the leash is one pissed pit bull in a poodle parlor. once bitten twice shy is a techy affair still relentless to the core with all the twist and turns that are synonymous to the likes of cooh and dvk. filthy stabs and hits are thrown manically around like a poltergeist having an epileptic fit in a china shop adding chaos to the already frantic bass and grooves. the main heart to his puppy is banged home half way through of its unnatural life were it warps from chilled pads to a nodders delight. dvk and cooh have started the fire and will be back to fuel it very soon!

with a prime palindrome inigo kennedy, as always, provides an array of distinctive and original tracks that continue to stand out from the crowd.avoiding titles the music does the talking. bounded by an intro and outro here are four tracks that push the envelope further than most.kicking off with a brutal and driving digital assault a1 has been tearing up sound systems in many ways reminiscent of the seminal asy001.a2 builds on the intricate and mature edge of the asymmetric sound. a strong and evolving melody draws you in over a slow moving atmosphere. underpinned by a classic kennedy rhythm and characteristic of the unique way he layers sounds together.driven by a warmly distorted rolling rhythm b1 turns up the heat once again whilst over the top floats a trademark futuristic atmosphere.b2 dives straight back into the world of digital manipulation. an elastic loop is treated. its pitch slowly grows. the effect is almost imperceptible. the result is hypnotic.

mobilee back to back vol. 3, compiled by miss jools, is inching its way to the release date but before then, active listeners can turn ears to the second exclusive vinyl teaser release with remixes from d julz and christian burkhardt. djulz of ovum, pokerflat and intacto records remixed gummihzs 2007 one-of-kind release and turned it into nothing short of a dance floor phenomenon. of course, nothing less could be expected from a man who has been around the world and back since 1992 playing in the most legendary clubs before the most legendary scensters. d julz certainly has the qualification and experience of what it takes to make a party a paaarty! christian burkhardt of oslo, raum…musik and remote area records took one of anjaschneiders more mellow and somber tunes from her spooky beyond the valley album, which ranked third in the charts of groove magazine, and give it a powerful face lift. the hard baseline and repetitive foot-stomping beat is exactly the kind of techno flair that burkhardt embodies in his music. mobilee back to back vol. 3, to be released march 2, 2009, combines a compilation of tracks and remixes produced by mobilees, remixed by other various artists and then mixed again by miss jools in a two-disc spectacular: cd1 is an unmixed selection of 2008 mobilee tracks, all handpicked by miss jools, while cd2 welcomes a list of her favorite producers to remix their picks of the mobilee pack with an additional miss jools spin. miss jools invited talents from the likes of cassy, tobias., nick curly, dinky, djulz, efdemin, christian burkhardt, vincenzo, sven tasnadi and solomun, extending the musical preference.

michael forzzas is one of the most important techno djs from belgium. like figure head len faki, michael forzzas speciality is to play extended sets which develop an individual athmosphere. figure 015 is forzzas first international release, and forzza sent two unique tracks to berlin, the tenor & the monkey is destined to turn the dancefloor into a frenzy. it puts you in a state of fear and euphoria at the same time. while the tenor & the monkey puts the roof of every club on fire, high on this is more cautious. the powerful groove unfolds its energy in many contexts. the pulse of the track immediate, it feels like the music is talking to each dancer personally. the tenor & the monkey and high on this don t show any effort, yet the tracks rule over the dancefloor: they both manage to focus on the essence of club music, a rarely achieved task these days.

already supported and played by djulz, mathias kaden, brothers vibe, tadeo, falko brocksieper... rosario is back to esperanza with our beloved franco cinelli. evolving on every single release, franco makes a strong comeback after his warehouse ep. the a side >green & blue<, that also names the ep, shows us his style in full effect with grooooovy percussive hints, analog touches, old school flavour and lot of sunrays. on the flipside, damian schwartz reworks the track turning it into a trippy detroit house affair perfect for every real >party lover< (yeah, for the ones who stay until late). >blue before sunrise< is the track for late night, sunset, sunrise, afterparty, warmup, etc. versatile, isnt it? but such a beautiful relaxed atmospheric song should be part of any classy session. enjoy the beats! its limited to vinyl and just 500 copies!.

with the majority of deep electronic music being provided via europes minimal hive - berlin, its an enlightening prospect that one of belgiums key players in the scene is behind the musical direction of new imprint miconn records. having produced a string of successful remixes of artists including chab and bedrocks polefolder, whilst appearing regularly across his native club scene, it was only a matter of time before miquell santos turned his attention to a dedicated output for his music. whilst an exciting new remix of rennie fosters slamming >devils water< is being released in 2009 on rebirth, the debut release under his hermanez moniker is scheduled for an appropriate new year release on 12inch . turning his production to a more early morning vibe, >gold coast< is a carefully selected debut of crisp deep house beats with just enough wonky additions for even the most demanding of minimal heads

the 4th installment of the sounds superb series explores further the possibilities of randomness. this time its a bit more on the stoner tip. lots of editing and messing with the turntable pitch control to generate the depth and exitment we love so much when sampling. we liked it so much that we had to include 20 min. short radio mix of conservation of momentum.

todd bodine demonstrates with this ep once again extraordenary taste and skills. after a very successfull excursion on claude van strokes mothership label and his activities as a heavily booked live-act and dj he presents on >unexpected life-form< two brilliant tracks, that seem to burst with their energy. todd bodine apparently has gained a lot of experience how to bunch the impact on both the dancefloor and the musical side and how to turn the result into a wall of sound. and hes doing it by following his own unique style. on the a-side >calypso< captivates you right after a few seconds with its pulsating sequences and a subtle growing energy-level from break to break. developing a drive which wont miss its impact on any floor. >snakeskin< on the flip is homogeneously build around shimmering melody-sequences which create the energy of this track, while the bassline below pulsates warm and deep. sounds like: detroit without kitsch. or like a cross between matthew johnson, robert hood and fabrice lig. to put it in other words: a typical todd bodine release in the best sense. allready a true highlight in the highgradecatalogue in 20

another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

ah, its time for some eerie minimal techno again. dry, percussive, hypnotic, trippy. when sunday turns into monday and the week starts exactly like the last one ended – on the dancefloor, propelled by a thumping bassdrum. dima is a bar 25 regular and has released on beatsreet (another berlin institution of endless afterhour journeys) before. this one is his bar 25 debut, tried and tested on various occasions and legendary sasomo moments. his four tracks dive deep into a nocturnal techno habitat, where percussion- sounds fade away in the twilight and the groove just won’t stop. there is no way out, just give in to its pleasures

hot on the heels of her last feel good smash these times, comes kimaras latest jammer far away, with two very distinctive remixes, the first by distant musics jon cutler. one might think we picked jon because of his coincidental label/song title relation, but one would be wrong! we picked jon because his superb production skills. the man behind the worldwide triumph its yours, as well as many others, brings a good bit o bounce to the dance floor on this remix. his lush piano chords, funky percussion, and synth zaps are a perfect bed for kimaras strong vibrant vocals to lay upon. he also turns in a truly slick dub for those looking for a bit less vox. for those looking for more tech, one of our favorite new dance producers out of japan, hideo kobayshi, slings us with a tougher, warpier punch (and dub) that ll get hearts and feet movin in synch.

his this years 2nd album >heavy day< still heavily resonates in peoples ears, now that falko brocksieper already delivers an appropriate follow-up. on >fresh 727< brocksieper finds back to raw, sketchy arrangements, evolving their full energy just from deep, rolling basic grooves, as opposed to the close examination of each tiny sound and every dramaturgic peculiarity in the recent longplayers production. on the title track >fresh 727< noisy, maurizio-esque house chords encounter futuristic vocal messages, while edgy, classic drumbox-riffs rip up the dense atmosphere of the track again and again. a deep, marching groove and the freeminded combination of elements signalize special club moments from the very start. on the backside >request< turns out to be an equally organic, sizzling counterpart, which can promote its sustainable cheerfulness alone by its ongoing bouncy bassline, in a way that all accessory parts get dispensable - to the benefit of a well-balanced blend of rattling percussion, carved vocals and quirky atmo...s

over the last 4 years mouseville has seen eric prydz (under his cirez d moniker) deliver some truly landmark moments in music with tracks such as knockout and control freak really setting the bench mark for others to follow. here we have an equally devastating track only this time produced by paulo mojo and jim rivers - two producers whos starts have been very much on the rise over the last couple of years with both of them having produced killer tracks for labelks such as oosh, misfit and saw. the track is an absolute killer - a driving groover with its catchy vocal refrains, sharp drums and funky bassline. on the flip the eric prydz remix turns the original on its head with deep chords and pads creating a very moody yet powerful reinterpretation. big support from eric prydz, sebastian leger, john digweed, paulo mojo and steve angello

these hand-picked tracks are now available on a dj-friendly 2-sided-4-tracks-vinyl-ep and let me tell you, they are well worth the extra investment. the first of the bunch starts off with big man lexys fancy girl, an ever-growing minimal techy peak-time-pusher with a hushed vocal-sample, some anaologue signal sounds and a futuristic and pumping beat. add a great distorted melody to this on the breakdown and the dancefloor will thank you for putting this on: they will go mental! after this introduction, its the newcomers mickey monzza & joseph discos turn with their equally stimulating track lonely. this is a great modern piece of pumping dub techno with a straight-forward attitude. the hi-hats on this tune are mesmerezing, the clappy snares and sirens perfectly placed and the subtle dubby and groovy melody an ideal antithesis to this hectically moving tune. simply nice! but hold on, there is more to come. on the flip there is hamburgs house impressario h.o.s.h. with his track ben johnson and whether this title is a reference to the legendary sportsman or not, its a pretty record-worthy track: wonderful little stabs and vocal sounds and a bassline so warm and groovy it makes your heart melt. then when the breakdown hits you with its long and winding signal sound, the dancefloor will already be bathing in a floor filled with sweet happiness. this is truely delicious! the two newcomers and residents at hive club in zurich animaltrainer have the honour to finish off this ep with their oily tech-house-anthem talkshow, a superb main-floor-peak-time-melody-affair.

with frankly amazing singles on his own glimpse recordings and matt tolfreys leftroom earlier this year, 2007 is shaping up to be one hell of a year fro christopher spero aka house/techno prodigy glimpse. here, he delivers his debut for the uk-based bastion of quality that is four:twenty with a superb collaboration with critically acclaimed taka boom (sister of chaka khan) in the form of we existed. another great uk talent, tom demac is first to remix we existed and does so in fine style. its plain to see why so many labels of note are requesting releases from tom on first listen to his skilful, deep and dubby excursion into detroit inspired house. jay shepheard, not to be outdone, turns in two remixes for the package. his alternative remix is up first and is a driving affair with a percussive punch and nagging fm chords providing the perfect base for takas vocals and some well placed keys. the main rmx from compost man shepheard carries on the mantle of quality with a decidedly more electronic and epic feel: a shrinking violet this is not

superb reissue of ron trent s all-time deep techno classic altered states. made when he was still school-age, and released in 1990 on armandos seminal warehouse label, this record was an immediate underground club hit, turning ron into a local hero, kickstarting his hugely successful production and djing career and making him probably the only chicago house producer to rate one of the best techno singles of all time! this classic acid workout is stunning in its simplicity and has been described as one of the most perfect and moving tracks ever heard. the other tracks are also very beautiful in their own right despite having been overshadowed by the epic altered states - the afterlife was included on dj hells x-mix-5. all tracks digitally remastered for superb sound quality
