inspired by the stripped back technical set-ups of yesteryear, mike monday and will saul present the sequence 1 ep, the product of the two artists limiting themselves to a roland 909, a korg kaos pad, a dave smith polyevolver and recording their jamming on the fly. >we wanted to inject some excitement, energy and randomness into this release, so decided to play the tracks live with mike on the 909 and keys and will on filters and effects. we had a broad idea of where we were going before we pressed record, and recorded a few takes of each track, then took the best moments from each. the big challenge was reining in the slightly chaotic recordings, but after some tweaking we found a balance between old school rawness and modern production values.<

a drum roll announces the arrival of swiss artist and producer andri to the highgrade family. and the drums are something we can take literally, as the regular player on the zurich party scene experimented for seven years with his own drums.

sascha dive has been successful both as a producer, and as a dj. when you talk with him about club music, and in particular house music, you almost get the impression of talking to a human encyclopaedia. his expert knowledge combined with his definition of contemporary club tunes makes his sets a unique experience. he takes the audience on a trip towards the future and the past, and at the end of the night gently back into the here and now again.

hailing from leipzig in germany is an artist whos music has been pricking up many ears across the global underground over the last few years. its hard to put a finger on what it is about kassem mosses productions that make repeated listening a must, but the intricacy, fresh arrangements and musical depth definitely play a part in attracting labels such as the highly respected techno imprint workshop, the legendary soma records and now nonplus are honoured to present his latest 12 inch. a) kassem mosse – >we speak to those< first up on the a-side we have >we speak to those< a 4/4 track of the highest quality that keeps you guessing from start to finish. the rugged and raw kick and bassline immediately set the foundations for the incoming awkward chord stabs whilst reversed beats lazily slur in and out over the main groove giving the track the unnerving feeling that its almost changing tempo. random sound effects and a non conforming arrangement make this track about as predictable as the english summer. one listen to this and youll immediately understand why this artist is getting love from some of the scenes biggest players at the moment. aa) kassem mosse – >hi res< phased drum machine breakbeat patterns and stutered percussion redolent of the early detroit techno uprising give this track an outstanding quality of being able to conjure up the same feelings of hope and optimism for electronic music that the aforementioned era managed to. thought provoking chord progressions take your mind on an excursion to the future and leave you gagging for an extended trip. think skyways, flying cars and towering metal buildings footed with dark abysmal underworlds and youll get the drift. they don t come much deeper than this one

first on decks.de !!! release #6 for swiss imprint brings 3rd release by co-owner quenum who is supported by the detroit grand pubahs on >just take it<. deep, hypnotizing, vocal-driven techno at its best!

back on friday 17th september (2010)...second single for the hotly tipped london based producer pariah on the legendary r&s record label. parishs debut single detroit falls/ orpheus gained the young producer many high profile fans including rob da bank, mary ann hobbs, ramadanman, untold, len faki, appleblim, chris duckenfield and will saul amongst many others. the first ep also found its way onto high profile, and influential blogs and websites including pitchfork, fact, gorilla vs bear, no pain in pop and rcrd lbl, and was a recommended release at boomkat. the debut single contained the first two pariah tracks ever recorded and were instantly recognisable as referencing the hip hop beat collages of dilla and the moody atmospheric 2 step rhythms of burial. this doublepack sees pariah move further towards developing his own sound, and takes in slamming percussive club tracks, deeper 2 step excursions and downtempo and beatless highlights. early supporters of this release include mary ann hobbs, falty dl, ramadanman, ben ufo, untold and mosca.

italians do it better owner/traveling dj salesman/heavy record collector mike simonetti takes an edit to three very obscure 90s house tracks. we were able to recognize the a-side with some help. the track was altered significantly and intro extends and builds and builds and builds... the two tracks on the b-side sound like 90s japanese piano house and a happy house rave track flipped on 33 but to be honest, we have no idea what they are.

leave it up to nyc label on the prowl to score some authentic yet modern day latin freestlyle. hot latina corinne croons about love and nightlife while her partner brooklyn producer josh anzano does the dirty work. the result is a heart felt dancefloor banger that will sure to be thumping out of car trunks this summer. for this single we get the original, a dub mix which nods to 80s style tape edits, and of course the mighty runaway bomb of a remix. runaway takes the vocals and lays them across a hands in the air chicago-esque drum machine groove spiced with live bass and speaker blaring pads. very big indeed!

orange butter ep is a two- track production by the in georgia born artist lado with two remixes by tobias w. (r÷mer records). following his intuition lado gently takes your hand and attends you with distinctive sensitivity for moods and atmospheres on the dancefloor through the nightly frenzy.

retroesque detroit techno rooted tunes.

kenton slash demon is indeed one of the most promising new talents out of denmark. the two guys who are also behind the much acclaimed indie-disco band when saints go machine and have gained massive attention with their ksd act, without releasing a lot of material. why? the answer is simple: all they do is just so good. their sound is both organic and futuristic, and their obvious skills take their productions further than the typical frame and dramaturgy of club a track. still 4/4 rhythmic - but with clever and super melodic bass lines and interesting breaks. >sun< is the first release in a ksd trilogy on tartelet called >schwarzchild trilogy< inspired by the elements that form our galaxy. >the sun< 12inch features a remix from the much hyped alan abrahams aka portable / bodycode, from portugal who made added vocals, deepness and classic mr. fingers juno-6 bass line - deep and clever.

cleo & patra are proud to sacrifice a 12inch to the egyptian queen and goddess of the nile. an ode to ancient egypt, youll hear it all. downtempo boogie magnitude and affection with pharaoh love, the full bloom disco-house adventure of marcus antonius on the run who should have better taken cleo & patras advise and finally the pyramid-high-killer-party-time a-side that even teaches the bangles a thing or two. oh, what a nose!

butane is back on rrygular and he s not alone this time. he gets support from midnight who sweetens the deep butane sound with her vocals. minimal icon bruno pronsato takes the track to a level of timelessness that has no peer. and last but not least, dapayk forms a techno tool par exellence from midnights silky voice and butanes premium elements.

italian based eclipsemusics fourth outing comes with a serious release courtesy of passenger, talented artist whose productions can be heard on night drive music, paul macs sula muse, logos recordings and echoplexs soleil. this new 12 inch confirms his interest in the deepest and more underground side of detroit techno. >black varian< was the highlight of his digital-only release on radiance records back in 2008. eclipsemusics label manager instantly fell in love with it, and now, improved and remastered by aaron-carl (wallshaker, detroit), black varian finally lands on vinyl. with its evolving and ear-catching sweet strings, its delayed cascades of cymbals and pianos, swinging synth lines and subtle bassline, this is already a little new classic for the label, crossing the borders between detroit techno and deep, groovy house. the release is completed by two strong remixes: paul mac strips down the original and builds a dancefloor number keeping a few catching elements for massive impact. just out on connaisseur with her new album, estroe takes the track on an emotional ride creating new harmonic vibes while keeping the deepness intact.

mikkel metal aka mikkel meldgaard is back on echocord with a new powerfull ep. after the latest succesfull full length album with tikiman here comes the next ep on >passenger ep< mikkel metal tries explores new facets of his sound and take a detour from the dub-technom, thats his usual trademark. while obviously still retaining a metal-signature, theres an opening towards a more raw dirty detroit sound here, thats clearly new to his production. opening track >further< is slow tough track with a heavy kickdrum and simple theme. in its austerity it might actually remind one of very early metal productions like >eight< from echocord 01. remaing tracks >no stars today< and >i dream< both build on a dirty simple groove and layers synths and distorted themes on top.

much anticipated new release from swedens finest input output.slammin cut-up of eric b. & rakims uber-classic with the freshest remixers on duty. for sure a long time coming, weve finally secured limited copies of this little remix gem. on display here some brilliant mixes of cynthias original >re-take< on a no-fakin hip-hop classic. real variety is the order of the day here (as any input output fan would hope for) from the bleeped out tones of smashback to the dub sensibilities of the uks finest warlock. the one and only paul birken also turns in one of his much loved mid tempo mong-out affairs alongside wee djs and faceless mind, also on classic form - make your record box a happy place.

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!

fm radio gods aka andrew hamilton & tao-nhan nguyen, their powerfully-dynamic sounds take in everything from minimal house to glitchy electro.

with her new album, dust, ellen removes the sense of remoteness entirely. a warm immediacy takes centre stage in place of distanced artistic abstraction. as such, what is perhaps ellens most personal album takes the form of a complete spectrum of her creative output to date, a cross-section in time which also looks ahead to previously untrodden paths... the world according to ellen!

smptm returns after brief pit stop.. but their back with another slab of futurefunking danger.. syndrome affiliate bulletproof steps up for another bigtime roller as smash & grab takes you back to the good tech days.. heavy sublines with funky midranges show that bulletproof knows what he is doing as allways. >taken< takes a completely different turn... bulletproof rocks up with dark and deep breaks combined with funky bongos to show that he has more up his sleeve.. drive up the sub with this one smptm is ready to rock!

our man will sabatino aka sabo doesnt need too much introduction to those who know. his long running ep series is back as he continues to move away from the tropacalia vibe he used to be known for into a well rounded party vibe. this time we got deep cosmic disco remix of the radiohead tune >house of cards<, a beefed up edit of bow wow wows classic >i want candy< with extended intro and outro. on the flip theres some african space disco with lots of dubby elements and atmospheric break downs, plus amadou & mariams >artistiya<, with pumped up drums, subtle edits, and some smart delays to take this classic straight to the dancefloor.

after his succesful remix of arnold jarvis house classic >take some time out<, toronto based basic soul unit (aka stuart li) is back on creme with a 4 track ep and he is bustin out those dope moves holmes! deep and raw, at times retarded and industrial edged emotional jack trax that are firmly rooted in the detroit/chicago tradition while keeping an eye on the ... damn we are rolling out thos cliches again today! hot-cold, blue-red, we are on fire!

minicoolboyz come with a strong reputation firmly intact. their mix here further enhances this reputation as they take the mix on a deeper ride, bringing a spacey vibe to the funky original...

boy we couldnt resist hooking up with one of the youngest and brightest proteges in the west-coast undergound to slap out some crazy remixes of the bsu ep for yall. who is he? why, a made up sound ofcourse, or 2562 for short. steamrolling his way onto the scene in 2007, 2562 has been a mainstay from the get go, with amazing production skills and a keen ear for what rocks the house. in a very short time the 2562 name became almost synonimous for dubstep. but luckily for us theres the made up sound guise to provide us with a more mutant hybrid of slamming jak-step (and remember where you read that first). so take your pick, heres one for the heads and one for the bodies.

fear of flying regular leif provides the 4th release for fofs revitalised limited label. a supa slick slice of modern vocal house, priority sees leif up his game with supremely tight production, a killa funked up b-line and sensual vocal from new recruit donna lea. for remix duties we opted for the up & coming talents of young un ethyl along with production partner flori. they come up with an altogether different take, coaxing elements of the vocal into a bigger sounding deep house experience. finally we thought we opt for a little bit of a curve ball in the shape of daze maxim. upon hearing dazes installment in the excellent story series we knew he was someone we needed to get on board - here daze strolls into tough tech house territory with a groove slightly reminiscent of rick wade at his most dance floor

italojohnson greets the dance floor with his first vinyl release embodying three functional tracks appropriate for any party mood.
the a-sides systematic drumming maliciously rumbles through the prime time floor as the mellow waves begin to take form and surge into a hysterical tsunami of beats. an emotional sunrise paves the tracks finale.
a similar functional sound continues on b1 and soon after, exposes itself as a percussive chicago house track as the 707, 727 and abyssal bassline protest against loungy house.
the dubbier interpretation of the italojohnson concept can be found in the final track on b2. the 808-thunderstorms and melancholic pads have lived through more than one summer, yet have only triumphed through charm and optimism.

thirtyonetwenty is the international dialling code to reach amsterdam. its also the name of amsterdams hot label run by sandy huner, who co-founded techno imprint 100% pure in 1992.
for the 13th release on thirtyonetwenty we welcome gabriele baldi, a young, talented italian whose recent release on label bitten got heavy play from top djs such as oxia, ricardo villalobos and 2000 and one, causing havoc on the dancefloors.
gabrieles passion for music began at a very early age, from piano to rock, blues to soul, funk to 80s … his evolving eclectic musical background provides him with the foundations for his productions now – heavily influenced with deep, house and acid-funk sounds.
this time he is back with two grooving funky (tech) housetracks >all i want< and >crash love<. amsterdams own tom ruijg (bangbang!) finishes it off with a deeper house-take of >all want<.

taken from the forthcoming album flashback. a pure >disco heaven feel good anthem<, that is a lewis speciality, to bring the saturday night feeling straight to the clubs.

aniligital music is back at it with anthony mansfield and tal m. klein and their evil ways! building upon the successes of their previous collaborations, the villainous duo raises the stakes and take things deeper with this enigmatically titled three tracker. ciento ocho is spanish for 108, the tempo of the first track on the ep. a creepy crawly builder with 8-bit roots that culminate in a huge funk breakdown with an insidious bass hook (if you have any doubt,just fast forward 3 minutes into the track) next up is desayuno en timpanis which we think means breakfast at timpanis in spanish. needless to say this ones heavy on the percussive elements, including of course lots and lots of timpani drums. desayuno en timpanis gets going pretty quickly and doesnt let up. check the flanged upright bass breakdown for extra bigness! purely non-stop huge sound system busting dancefloor action. speaking of floor fillers, have we shown you our tiger bomb? bomba de tigre is the definitely the deepest track on the ep, but lest anthony and tal rest on the laurels of their 808 kicks and 303 basslines, this tigre is a stalking beast that explodes in a vicious classic house attack!

zt and his kiwi buddy get a bit rowdy this time, with a heavy inspration from the early virus sound of 1998-99. >shallow grave< sneaks in a kicks you in the gut and pounds you like giant haystacks! as the vocal sample states: >i roam when its dark, and take you to some secret place and bury you< indeed! mr.t decided to keep it in the family, irish-style, for the 1st two 12 inches. so after old cohort calibre provided the 1st flip side, next up is zeros original colaborative partner beta 2. its now 10 years since the pair debuted on 4 heros reinforced, and a long awaited return to the game from beta 2 looms large! cabin phever is classic blue note buisness, for those that know! beta tickles the ivories with aplom, plucks the double bass and chops a break in a style remeniscent of that ginger ninja, rupert parkes (aka photek).. two words: film-noir.
heavy support from the likes of marcus intalex, jubei, ulterior motive, bailey, loxy, ed rush etc.

uno6 and sven tasnadi demonstrate once again why they can be called some of the best producers in leipzig.
