transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

crazy retrostyled electropop tracks... incl rmxs by adriano canzian, mount sims, the scandals... schwefelgelb is a hot band from the underground ready to spread their tunes not regarding any genre borders. too special to sign a label so that they just release on their own and keep on doing whatever they want! and that means to create a very fresh mixture of different styles like electro and punk! this very pretty designed 12inch seems to be exactly the desirable piece for the grown up wave heads, as well as for the new generation of young and punky club kids.

broadcasting through various channels, let it be their label sonar kollektiv, their relentless dj-tours around the globe or their highly acclaimed radio show, the six berlin based boys better known as jazzanova transmit the message in whatever format. as teaser for the upcoming longplayer, which reflects one of their diverse club sets, as well as the broad musical spectrum presented in their bi-weekly radioshow they deliver two massive club tunes from innervisions stars Âme and japanese newcomers agora rhythm...special restock !!!

the 5 beats parisian head takin us to a fascinating one way trip straight to the epicenter of the lectromatrix on the vibrant synth led the journey opening this 2 tracker with the result guaranteed to blow your minds up. and he seems even goin further on the bouncing hades foreshadowin what might pretty well be considered as a piece of - call it whatever - garagey tech or techy garage...

thank you have played with the likes of beach house, dan deacon, daniel higgs, celebration, wzt hearts and ponytail. thank you is an athletic rhythm/action unit, made up of jeffrey mcgrath, michael bouyoucas and elke wardlaw. michael was a member of the baltimore band more dogs who released an album on monitor records. the members of thank you are longtime friends and musical collaborators, working hard to bring to life their wholly original compositions. musical ideas are introduced and have conversations with one another, each track filled with new articulation and insight. the basics of drums, organ, and guitar build the foundation, but are augmented by whistles, cowbell, hobo harmonica, snappy loops, car horns, and whatever else might be at hand. the album terrible two was engineered by j. robbins (yeasayer, mary timony, jets to brazil) in baltimore and was produced and mixed by chris coady (tv on the radio, yeah yeah yeahs, celebration) in new york city.

four funky to straight techno tracks

canadian label hotbox digital brings us adam k and addys superb >sub-cultured<. this collaboration is one not to be missed, adam ks signature subby bass lines and minimal groove, cross addys exceptional technique and >sit-up and listen< attitude. this is certainly a tune to keep dancefloors heaving and bouncing throughout the night. on the flip, we have >whatever<, a solo effort from adam, a more twisted and less minimal record, making the perfect compliment to sub-cultured.

suss d records – the home of 2 legendary disco labels: salsoul & p&p, coined the phrase deep disco to draw together the very cool but much underrated world of rare & underground disco music, that for whatever reason remained largely unknown until now!

vincent koreman aka ra-x joins up with herr muller to form a new and rockin optimus prime, once again exploring the dancefloor. their style could be described as no fear techno, with some serious electro influences. called no fear, because whatever comes up is put to use in a track, be it acid, drum & bass or idm influences. a hard rocking record with a fresh sound, this is the first of many

some say technasia reinvented emotive dancefloor techno, some say its the way they pump that whiplashes thousands into a frenzied hypnotic fit... whatever the case is, there is no mystery in their ability to conjure up havoc at the place where it ultimately hurts, that of the den, the womb, the final dancefloor... where ever and when ever technasia unleashes >oxide<, one may as well call it home.. ...you were warned.

support comes from d julz, miss joles, paul woolford, rob melo, satoshi tomiie, james flavour, tommy four seven and many more... on the a side, the original’s non-stop drive taps into the hidden house music adrenal glands to deliver a pure, unabashed banger. driving, sexed up, non-stop sweat inducing action. on the flip, gusgus attack the original with their warehouse of analog machines - simulta-neously extracting the essential groove of the track but infusing it with their own icelandic party freak show. minimal, maximal or whatever you want to call it, it’s a gem and one of gusgus’ finest remixes to date.

king unique are one of the most influential dance production/dj outfits of the past 10 years, and?now the legends that are matthew roberts & matt thomas are back with a killer new single >yohkoh<. a melodic tech/prog/house (or whatever its called these days) gurn- fest of epic proportions, >yohkoh< is kus first single since their year off from the studio – a year that saw them tour their >electric< mix album across the globe, a journey that found matthew roberts marooned in a mud soaked brazilian rainforest and matt thomas cornered by tasmanian devils on a beach at midnight amongst many other (mis)adventures.

wipe the needle productions present the combined talents of london born producer lee gomez and swedens own mikael nybom. a chance meeting at a london label may have proved unsuccessful but it essentially brought them together, and would see them make quality house music. the duo is known for breaking the boundaries of house music, always flipping between soulful, deep, dark, techy to whatever goes as long as its spelt house.wipe the needle will be releasing their ep including 3 killer cuts â&#128,&#152,all i am, slaves, warehouse 88 through slip n slide, and the feedback has been amazing, with tastemaker support from every corner of the world, including: tedd patterson, tiger stripes, silicone soul, hardsoul, worldless people, charles spencer, murray richardson...

+ huge gui boratto remix cerebral and modern, a little anti establishment, somewhat guerilla style.octopus is the peculiar and artistic home of quite unusual producers, a common ground for diverse creations of techno, house, deep- whatever works when we a

summer mega-ton-bomb – sure shot!! balearic is a word which few people really understand. it can mean whatever you want it to mean, but it has always been vaguely associated with ibiza, hippies, deep tropical dance music, and british football hooligans who grew hair, showered less, and became djs. but forget those 90s british for now, there that feels better! with this special release, which we have kept quarantined on its own tuning spork extra label, we are bringing you that balearic vibe with a deep and dubby 00s house music twist. and for us, this is the record of the summer. so prepare yourself for a massive collaboration project from the social beings. this is not some duo youve never heard of, in fact its label boss jay haze (fuckpony / bearback / krak street boyz) and his friend, modern day techno legend ricardo villalobos… one piece of information which is true, unlike those ones, is that haze and villalobos are now huge figures in the house and techno world. and they are indeed social beings

big one for all the italo and cosmic disco heads!! >satellites are spinning< is an amazing disco oddysey which kicks off with a patrick cowley like electric bassline and the builds slowly. more and more synths are laid down to ensure for a mighty climax half way true when the lead melody kicks in. on the b-side we have this amazing vocal booguie tune called >u cant help but dance.< this can be compared with a moodymann meets theo parrish meets dexter wansel kinda song. whatever this may be, rest assured this nugget moves booty when dropped in the club. this awesome package ends with an electronic p-funk track called >zweap.< the mighty linndrum computer reminds of earlier prince productions and the crazy synths sound like amp fiddler playing on another dirty and energetic george clinton meets parliament gig

set to be one of the summers biggest tunes in clubs and festival fields alike, manchesters indie-dance heroes return with the epic floor filler >divebomb< crystal castles adding their mixture of sex.murder.smoke on a speedy remix. thewhip clearly are one of the hardest working bands in pop right now with no fewer than 40 odd shows between now and mid july to find energy for – but fear not, find the energy they will. crystal castles is the most most most whatever band in the world with their way of articulating as if they devoured children while singing. they come from toronto. on their myspace, under >influences<, they answer : murder, glazed-looked girls, knives. whacky

cool rollin & pumpin loop infected techno banger from spain !! artists are dp-6, dj link, goncalo m and a. paul vs. industrialyzer

clectic producer johnny dangerous returns to king st. with yet another esoteric single, only yourself. his unique spoken word vocal stylings are what set him apart from other dance music producers. haunting as they may seem, they penetrate the psyche while the underlying rhythms rev up the body. italian heavy hitting producers, the pasta boys, are on board to give this an effective synthy remix thats perfectly inline with johnnys lexis. edgy, dark, minimal, techy and punchy, their remix gives energy without being overly aggressive. for those who need something a bit lighter, johnny dangerous original mix puts a bit of the funk and soul back into the song with guitar wa was and slapping percussion. theres something incredibly sexy about what johnny dangerous brings into being. is it his voice? his lyrics? his production? whatever it is, its good, and a pasta boys remix to boot? buon apetito

>the dawn< is a moody, undulating cruiser of a track, which will subtly but surely make a dancefloor feel a sense of sunrise, whatever time of day or night. busy, clicky percussion sets the scene for a full-bodied, rising, almost trancey bassline to take control. t ups the intensity with real dancefloor nous and precision programming, layering distressed synth sounds and heavily treated keys atop each other while never losing sight of the tracks fierce ,fundamental groove. ‘the dawn’ builds and builds, by turns dropping out the percussion and the bassline, every departure and return a heads-down, hands-aloft dancefloor moment. the crisp snares and rich, melodic notes of delay add even more depth to what is already an essential tune. b-side >jam pot< is more playful, and driven by a classic physical bass melody - at once intimate and techy, dubby and dancefloor-urgent, gritty but optimistic. again, the attention to detail on the percussion takes this track to the next level, and jazzy keys provide an organic ontrast to the robotic blips and bleeps.

this premier league team comes up with yet another mix unique house, latin, tribal, minimal and electro. call it latin electro, call it minimalatin, whatever you call it gregor salto and dj madskillz are definitely amongst the pioneers of this new sound

a man that needs no real introduction gives us the first in a series of offerings. luke solomons newest production company bad brains and black flags brings us two new hot tracks. the title track phantoms with its bass driven punk edge and the b side end of days with its more tweaky white noise kinda feeling. another example of how punks and electronics can coincide harmoniously. whatever your pleasure we re sure you ll dig this one just as much as we do
