the titling for the second single taken from cari lekebuschs forthcoming album >state of the art<, continues in the horror tinged theme opening with the epic >bodysnatcher<, a nine and a half minute odyssey into the outer realms of rolling, glitchy techno. tight percussion and deep end bass set the tone for a fervent mix of resonant and modulated riffs and fx, exquisitely produced and deftly mixed this is another great example of lekebusch at his best.
the flipside of this release brings us the excellent >shivering<, a heady blend of oscillating bass and relentless synth lines over minimal drum patterns that has you hooked from the off. this is a big record that is bound to find favour with techno jocks and house djs alike with its perfect balance of dark and light.

it is no secret that the 1980s was probably one of the best decades. 1986 was in particular a very memorable and historic year across the world. it also happens to be the year delete was born and the name of the groove laden a-side. >1986< does not boast any sci-fi effects or other worldly sounds, it does however have one of the catchiest bass lines out there. >our generation< pours a real telltale chicago house vibe, complete with derrick carter style vocals and a bone-chillingly infectious four-note pad melody. this is eyes closed, hands in the air euphoric house. the 12 inch rounds out with delete still showcasing his knack for creating funky bass lines with, >lunchbox<. this number runs a bit deeper than the first two tracks, as it is rolled along by little percussion edits and snippets that evoke a more subtle laid-back vibe.

please welcome one of the most promising dutch artists on souvenir027, onno. a one-way ticket to india awaits you with the a-side, >bombay palace<. onno is storming the dance-floors with mystic vocals layered with club friendly drums and beats. a must have crowd pleaser for the early sunshine of the day! daniel sanchez (remote area, 100% pure) flies the original direct to chicago - encompassing spacey and vocoded vocal sounds. he genially injects soulful elements into >bombay palace< and turns it into a stellar skyscraper rooftop for >8 minutes of love…< - deep deep deep! on the flipside, onno delivers with >chants< - dizzying on the forefront, all driven by cosmic waves and stomping drums - a singular piece of electronically modified funk. sante happened to be onnos first remixer of choice for the track - a great choice, as he infuriates the original with what the tech-house genre offers best, turning it into a devastating peak-time take. well done!

a funky house bass, groovy and shiny for >dreaming< in a blend of violin plus the massive chris carrier remix.
>disc 3k< is a perfect disco house roots track in 2 versions by kid culture and gaulthier dm. one them - two of the best flavors!

culprit records is the imprint of los angeles party organizers droog. culprit has previously only had digital releases, from hot natured, lee foss, matt tolfrey & kenny gibson. this latest release on vinyl is by sect, a four-man production team compromising of the infamous soul clap (airdrop, wolf & lamb, crosstown) alongside boston house heroes tanner ross (voodex / dirtybird) and sergio santos, comprising in sect. the man of wisdom 3 track ep, features three monstrous, mid-tempo killer house tracks. a1 >man of wisdom< is a sparse, dubby, exotic horn infused workout. b1 >hi-fi all around< invokes almost an r&b feel to the stripped down psychedelic micro house, whilst b2 >sectsy< is a swirling slice of heady house pie. this ep is the perfect antidote, combining lots of exotic elements and showcasing the best of boston, ma, producers. watch out for forthcoming releases from hot natured, matt tolfrey & inxec, adultnapper and big bully

fans of burial mix and grayhound best listen up, cause the boys from succulent have come to mash up the hi-fi wit tha wicked dub, man. all three of their pieces use that unbelievably deep sub-bass that made their track on grayhound bug everyone out. pair that to masterful use of effects and proper ly placed samples of rasta mcs and you got that deep down, below the root line, damn its dark, kinda undaground dub shit that worship seem impossible to not do right. then the masters at the dub-house sound, solomonic sound, rework >freshly< into a sub-aquatic fun house of dubbedout bass wicked percussion all wrapped in spacey sounds. big, fat & totally necessary for any self respecting dub/house dj.

desolat 011 is franck roger at his best: raw-edged and stripped-down house tracks for your pleasure.

two collaborative tracks from quarta 330 and lv, made when the pair met the day after hyperdubs fifth anniversary party in november last year. these tunes exemplify the kind of meeting of minds where the best of both procucers comes to the surface, as quarta 330s 8-bit abstraction and melodic sense contrasts nicely with lvs characteristic lush figures and shuffling rhythms.

clone crown limiteds first one! its jellphonic and zacky funk force throwing some bad ass dirty p-funk influenced tracks so sick that we had to put them out! a-side cut >100 snakes< rocks it like the neptunes could do... dirty and effective! on the more softer side we have >sexxy< that is sexy as freaky can be. both tracks has zff on the mic (backed up by reggie blount and st liquor-ish). and lets not forget the only one! the best cut in years (and for sure on this record) if you are into love songs. serious heat from these funkateers!

might niko schwind be the new kingpin of house music? everybody needs to find out for himself of course and that is best done when listening to his freshest output for stil vor talent: the “midnightfunk” ep. it kicks off with the title track that features the great chicagoeske vocal skills of patrick blasa, who takes us in on this journey towards a time when house music ruled the waves of the club oceans. imagine a sticky slap bass, cowbells, high-pitched vocals and low-pitched male laughing plus of course the greatest thing about this scorcher: a somewhat jetlagged piano that seems to leap behind in one moment to then be right there again when it matters. ace!

driven by many musical styles both, herbst & blecha spend hours sitting in their small, freezing basement studio, twiddling knobs, djing on weekends and drinking loads of sweet, cheap and sticky orange lemonade. now the work of these two talented producers is rewarded with their first common release. jove is a melodic tech-house piece containing one of those catchy bass lines that will still be sticking in your ear long after the track has finished. well fitting to summer the track ôshilpaö takes you on a smooth trip and will form the perfect transition from your club night experience to watching the sunrise afterwards. the zoo brazil rmx of ôjoveö is a crisp piece that shall evoke your best summer nights you have spent this season. each time the kick drum lets go of your body in a break, you will just get carried away, throw your hands in the air and then fall back into the beat and just smile!

this is massive, its being battered by everyone and their dog, andy c, hype, grooverider, friction, blah blah blah. on this collaboration with interface, dj die is at his very best. anthem.

weapon x strikes back with 4 brand new high quality hardcore tracks on the mighty enzyme records imprint!!where my party people at is mainstream hardcore at its best and will definitely get the party started with its uplifting melody and slammin kicks.for the haterz uses the same ingredients as where my party people at, so no further explanation needed.the flipside starts off with i come for blood which is bit rougher than the tracks on the a-side.distorted kicks, cool arrangement, spooky vocals and it s non-stop energetic drive make this track one off the highlights on this release.finally bad boy, another mainstream bomb which already receives full dj-support by all the hardcore jocks in the scene. enzyme records does it again!!

that juan maclean is just a bundle of contradictions. here he has created one of the years best mix cds — and not just a proper party mix, which it certainly is, but even what you might call an important mix, a timely lesson in the enduring spirit of house music — and how does he choose to describe the process of putting it together? as an >existential tailspin<.

vinyl sampler 1 of the jamie lewis album >flashback<, celebrating two remarkable decades of outstanding productions & music-carreer.

this third release in the series mostly touches on the magic of jamie principle. however, this ep opens with a sublime deep vocal track originally released on trax sub-label saber in 1991 by ace & the sandman (who are also responsible for the virgo four tracks). featured here are some of jamie principles best tracks, produced by frankie knuckles. as with many trax releases, there are lots of unreleased , reel to reel only mixes around. we came across an unreleased version of >bad boy<. the quality is not at best, but we included it nevertheless. magic stuff!

the first teaser from the long awaited second album of phil mison (aka cantoma) comes in a true idjut boy haze. reminiscent of early u star at its best, their remix of >north shore< is one of the most locked-in grooves we have heard for some time. the vocal version sucks you into an almost trance like fashion and is purely made for the late night hours on a sweaty dancefloor. hearing this on a big system is truly a spiritual experience. the instrumental ties down an amazing second 12 inch for leng and gives us further excitement on the release of the second cantoma album. simply terrific.
