the 35-year-old hessian dj and producer frank lorber is intrinsically tied to the history of cocoon recordings. however, speaking of a comeback of lorber would be both consequent and not thinking far ahead, as tres is an artist collective being rather entrenched in the frankfurt tech house scene.

first part of the fabulous 2010 compialtion celebrating the 10th anniversary of dial records. isolée gives his far out label debut >black lodge< to have another artist 12inch later this year. efdemin comes along with a superdeep tune to tease us for his next album coming in may. with the glorious piano loophouse hymn >treacle mine< labelchef lawrence shows again that the dancefloor is a place for lovers. this is only the beginning.

bon & rau are rainy citys newcomer jacques bon and christopher rau. jacques is originally from paris and takes care of the smallville recordstore in la cité d amour. he fell in love with hamburg though when he first came there and calls st. pauli a home since a little while now. while hanging at smallville record store in hamburg, he met christopher rau, who blew away the whole smallville crew with his > ne travaillez jamais< on dérive records in 2008 and had his smallville debut with >childhood< on smallville 16. the youngsters teamed up as bon & rau and we are proud to present the 12inch debut of another smallville dreamteam. cloverleaf days was already presented on the smallvilles label compilation cd -and suddenly its morning-, that gained huge reputation last year- but it more than deserved an appearance on 12inch now. a reduced groove that takes you to somewhere unsearchable. the b-side presents two versions of brothers & sisters- a modern house-anthem that twists into your ears with a subtle melody. the poodle dub on b2 rounds up a perfect 12inch with a tribute to hamburgs finest golden pudel club. three tracks that can definitely make the moment on the dancefloor.

yes, its them: federleicht. no better way to start a label: the newcomers of the year have created here a playful and danceable track at the same piece: >rosa lee<. florian schirmacher and marc bammann made an apt remark in naming the ep >modern dada< to point out their ability to make a tribute to the free form. music with german lyrics for the dance floor, combining fragments, while this masterly sense of easiness, for which even the >supergooses< ep was rewarded as a masterpiece in the de:bug. formresonance devides their releases in solid, fluid and aeroform to restrain the musical spectrum which is indeed to be at the ready. solid in any case with both feet down-to-club. how nice … there should be the klub edit of rosa lee as well. in >lilly & douai (fluid)<, the duo spans such an emotional tension by overlaying approximately 80 radio tracks on which federleicht travels the two french industrial cities lille and douai, with the idea that these cities are nature reserves. such sensitive places they are…

almost one year after the first release derive schallplatten releases the second record. thats quite a long time. but however, haste makes waste and even more when its about some passionate drifters!

following his singles the hots and remember for dissident earlier this year, little rock co-head the niallist returns with another vinyl cut designed to devastate dance floors. whilst the hots showcased a smooth electro-pop side, and remember updated classic disco sounds, a.c.i.d. trims away the excess, leaving only a jacking 303 beat, squelchy synths and crisp claps. four to the floor, full horsepower and in your face. can you jack

bristol-based kss black records are proud to present their second vinyl release:
a: holdtight ? blackstone ? holdtight make a welcome return with a rollicking slab of lo-fidelity sci-fi drum & bass. a steely backbone of percussion provides the skeleton to which a gut wrenching sub line and precision cyber-bleeps are built. full of atmospherics and stabs blackstone offers up a master class in layering grooves to capture the crowd. this one wont stop until it gets you!
aa: mute ? suspense ? the flip for this fine 12inch features the brothers mute, with a massive debut vinyl release! >suspense< has got skanker written all over it, reminiscent of the days grooverider was dropping adam fs seminal track >metropolis< on dub. modern production values are infused with the sweaty funk of 90?s dancefloor tech. heavily influenced by the sounds of photek and, more recently, break with technical drum programming and a bassline to trouble any bass bin as they looking backwards to move forward. you wont miss it when this tune drops.. bassface time! featuring on baileys 1xtra show several times last year this is not a tune to miss out on. both tracks have been receiving heavy support from bailey, lomax, survival & break.

mbali remixes: jerome sydenham starts off the year with a fabulous remix of the underground classic >mbali< by motorcitysoul. sydenham makes an ambitious attempt to redefine the phrase >happy and uplifting house<. this, however, is not a gospel track. but instead is filled with lush cords and steady grooves. this is the kind of tune that really gets the party started. jero extended versions: the monster duo of dennis ferrer and jerome sydenham strike again at the core of house music. in this adrenaline fuel house epic you have sydenham on the beats and ferrer on the vocal chants. this one will be hard to resist even for techno heads.

the first release on mean for the year 2010 will see cesare vs disorder returning on his home imprint to collaborate with rainer in the battle for mouths ep, in what will be the ninth instalment of this underground label

this man cant currently be stopped. following his releases through the 2nd season 2009 (>marvin” on compost, >smaul 06< & >smaul 07<) in january 2010 acid paulis >riverboat tour< came out. now, it seems he opens this years summer season with these two psychedelic thrilling tracks. even though he had been touring a lot with the notwist last year, acid pauli was pretty often an invited, musically refreshing guest in berlins minimal techno (what ever) scene. den mahlstrom rauf leaves no doubts about. great build up he does by keeping tension over five minutes to unlash finally the madness charge with a levitating reverse-ducking-compressed melody. den mahlstrom runter (a play on words of travelling on a boat and getting milled…) seems to be the return from the trip he gives on side a. it is the same track reworked. his musical drama goes faster but deeper under the cortex – but >how lucky a fate< deliverance comes at right time taking the track over to a known housy and deep realm.

after a long year of preparation we are happy to bring you kinas first physical release knmv001 >gentle / velvet<. produced by label founders cosmic cowboys and re-up, this first vinyl is a window into the sound of kina music. displaying the two souls within the label, in a melange of atmospheres and moods.

newtonns history started in 1985. in a retrospective, his musical career looks like a frantic puzzle. there were influences of pop, rock and electronic sounds from the early seventies, so in fact, newtonns - better known by his alter ego cut a kaos - reputation and success could be traced back to all these music styles. since 2 years alexander friedlhuemer (so his registered name) has straighten and oriented his label bacteria records towards house and tech-house. the current and most important, new release >the cursor< is remixed by lars eckmann. catchy tech-house tunes with a flawor of real techno influences. as a result, 2010 is newtonns year and his spectacular productions will break all limits!

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.

gramophonedzie delivers one of the most distinctive club bombs of the year with why dont you, used as a dancefloor weapon of choice by the likes of tony humphries, roger sanchez, dj sneak, kevin saunderson, carl cox, dennis ferrer and norman jay and gaining tremendous support on bbc radio 1. an addictive concoction of house, funk and classic swing, why dont you is set to be one of 2010s biggest crossover hits, providing the perfect feel good antidote to the january blues. in addition to the original, remixes are courtesy of bingo players, trevor loveys and greenmoney.

the day is finally here... we kicking off the new year with a big one! the original release of restless soul and i know it in 2007 featuring the breath taking vocals of zansika took us all by storm the first time we heard this tune. it was one of those records that has timeless stamped all over it when it landed on our desk, but after years it was time to bring it out of the vault and give it new life! we called on restless souls new generation jose carretas to take a walk down memory lane and give us his take on this record we loved all so much... hope all enjoy this one as much as we do and play it loud!

carl cox said >the best thing i haver ever listened this year< !! material celebrates 3 years of hits with a new artistic label print and sleeves. its a collectors item

while johannes builds up his track in his typical heil-stylish way, using lots of freaky and mind-expanding ingredients which are shaping and forming constantly throughout the song and culminating in a brilliant finale, wj henze delivers a puristic techno-stomper full of drive which is clearly made to make you shake.be prepared for a first musical highlight of the year and dont miss this brilliant piece of plastic!

support: gregor tresher, alex bau, beroshima, technasia, adam beyer, the advent, chris liebing, claus bachor..... crazy denis >remute< karimani with a further step into technotic weirdness par excellence on eme! flash appears kind of calm and reduced in the beginning, but once played out loud it turns into a bass-driven soundresearch with no rules and restrictions, simply crazy! the flipside >joking about life< shows a bit more constancy and rolls away with pure energy, a perfect counterpart to >joking about death< which was released last year. versatile techno, unique sounddesign, remute at its best within only two tracks! love it or hate it!

when casting a weary eye towards the impending chill of winter, its important to remember that the choice of company kept can greatly affect the way in which one wiles away the long gray hours. in this case, we didnt even need to look further than our own backyard. enter deep techno masons, donor/truss. made up of greg schappert of brooklyn and tom russell of wales, their collective efforts have seeped into the consciousness of world class djs, producers and fans of uncompromising techno music through releases on synewave, miniscule, dilek, and dumb unit. with this, their first ep on thema, they have begun expanding their signature sound. the heady claustrophobia we’ve come to know and love has opened up just enough, spurring a graceful and startling evolution. we also would like to say that we re very happy that themas first release for the year 2010 is, in part, from local nyc based talent. mr schappert has been a big supporter of this label for quite sometime and to have him and tom step onboard is just about the best way we can think of to start the new year. the future is here, welcome 2010!

lil tony is hotter than hot. while starting to dj and produce years ago, tony has been a staple in the scandinavian club scene since the early 90s. an amazing dj (actually one of the favourites around the moodmusic hq) and a talented producer, tony started with the fbi project with roberto rodriguez and kimmo oksanen before dropping some serious damage on raw trax vol. 1 last year on moodmusic. caned by everyone from luciano (he edited his own version of semble) to dj hell, tonys raw grooves cut the crap and moved people when other producers had to take a leak. hardworking, never forgetting his gentleman manners, tony is here to stay and raw trax vol. 2 is a bold new statement, and his best work to date. solid state takes the classic detroit influenced drum machine vs piano theme a step forward, a impeccable jam of 15 minutes with the beat keeping the pace, this has been roadproofed the last 6 months to good effect. the b-side karamba is a dry, tight driven tech-workout, perfect mixtool for the deeper techno as well as housier sets. it just works well. the closing checkpoint charlie is a tale of >lost in helsinki< – dark mean bass wanders around and gives space for the chuggin main line, monotonic body music at its best.

right behind his successful year 2009, with being remixed by convextion and an outstanding releases on zyntax motorcity, finlands crc aka michael diekmann comes up with a stunning new track for this ep. dreamlike soundscapes and powerful drums are key here. a very emotional experience not to be missed!
on the other side germanys myon delivers an up-building 9-minute-journey for the dancefloor, which stands out due to its big 909-programming and the typical myon-soundscapes!

music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. the air in the performance is sculpted into something. - frank zappa. first before we start talking about our first release in our new serie called sculptures we would like to say to you what is it all about. sculptures is a special 5 part serie symbolicaly representing 5 years of existence of jesus loved you label that is coming up this year. it will be consisted of 5 different releases with a new fresh approach to music that will our label represent, with a warmer twist shaking grooves. basically how we would say, tracks that we heard and love to have them on vinyl.

luke slaters mote-evolver label is enjoying an impressive run of form. having chalked up one of the standout cuts of the autumn in the shape of cari lekebuschs >spindizzy< and dropped two floor-shaking futuristic techno megabombs from ortin cam (>carnage< & >felt<) either side of the new year there can be little doubt that the long-standing label is as relevant now as it ever has been.
one of the key players in finlands techno scene, samuli kemppi has a reputation for making forward-thinking, boundary blurring electronic music. coming up to his tenth year as a producer, his knack for blending the best of the past with cutting edge sounds has seen samuli appear on labels as diverse as ovum, siesta, komisch and prologue, providing all the credentials necessary to understand why samulis style has consistently drawn attention from all corners.

fresh into 2010 folks ! our good-looking and >in-demand-man< sebastian doering returns with another fantastic three track ep. this time mister lovebirds is back on his very own label knee deep recorings. hes laying down deluxe disco delights via a fine frenzy and hypnotic tune called >the ride<, followed by mellifluous and vibes driven >mandrill<,while <dancin< is a soulful stomper - an hommage to the great producer team johnick. so, thank you for funking up the young year, mister lovebird

yore starts the new year off on the good foot with a four-tracker from the dutch duo morning factory thats remarkably accomplished for a first release. expertly manning the controls are two gentlemen from the netherlands, jean-pierre van der leeuw and jozef lemmens, who clearly produce a high-octane electronic body music thats timeless and fresh.

starting the year off with this cracking deep ep by our new guys on dirt crew, the runners ! after their extremely succesfull first 12 inch in the beginning of last year which featured the stunning jay shepheard remix they are ready to deliver the next dose of classic house grooves that range from deep house to the more techy edges of electronic dance music. the four originals on this ep alone stand out and keep dirt crew recordings headed towards the future of true deepnes. but as we are real purveyors of soulfull rolling beats we had to add once more one of our favourite producers in the scene to do a remix, this time its our friend from barcelona soul minority who has gained great respect with his cool deep house records over the past years, especially his latest releases on pack up and dance were amongst our most played tracks last year. so here you have it! a great start and there is more coolnes to follow this year! stay tuned and stay deep!

in 2010 desolat continues its one year old x series with m.in: >sing and blow at the same time<. m.in is an young artist from frankfurt area developing his individual music taste by being open-minded towards other genres. his interpretation of house / tech-house is spiced up with jazz, soul and afrobeat elements in order to present a varied and sophisticated blend to his audience and led to numerous well received solo releases and remixes for radio slave and italoboyz amongst others. m.ins house and his versatile beat programming caught our attention a long time ago - and the title track here simply seemed to be tailor-made for loco dice and his sets. >sing and blow at the same time< was probably one of the best kept secrets since last summer and now it’s time to reveal it. this new desolat x will be the first in the series to be available as a digital file as well. its coloured vinyl, with artwork by florian pohl and mastering by enrico mercaldi, will remain a collectors item - great sounding and good looking.

the bold and futuristic year of 2010 sees the release of >werkschau<, an unmixed compilation that gathers together a hand picked selection of the producers favourite cuts. the music stands for all that he loves, and what he loves he puts on show! summing up the landsky sound, and looking back over the years one cant help but feel a deep underlying quality emanate from the music. like subtle, mature flavours running through a well-prepared banquet. this special ep, capturing three choice tracks from those on offer on the compilaiton, includes some of our favourite landsky material, re-visited. firstly the seminal >1000 miles< is re-interpreted and brought up-to date, with landskys >2000 miles<. a strong driving powerhouse of reduced acid signals and hypnotic synth phrases, its the sound of martin landsky, future, present and past. a real deep running story of a track, >naked< is rich with thick bass and phasing, tripping chords, running percussion and growing tension that never ends. fitting to any occassion, the track was originally released on landskys own intim label and sounds as fresh now as the day it was released. tying things up the taught, tense and grooving tones of >monitor one< sail through. this futuristic house cut revolves around a staccato bass hook that drips with funk, echoing of landskys dj history that began before house was ever invented!

untracked recordings had a killer year in 2009, and if this is any indication things are only going to get better for the vinyl only label in 2010. release eleven at the label is the incredible new all i ever wanted ep from rising star red rack em. the title track is straight beatdown, theo parrish esque stabs and rumbling sub bass underpin a low slung heavyweight, for the true underground connoisseurs. the track, however, thats had everyone freaking out is in love again. serious support from gilles peterson, and endless inquiries as to its release date has ensured this record won’t be around for long. deep warm pads, an emotive vocal and beautiful detroit strings bring this straight to the heart of the matter. 300 copies only on 180 gram vinyl.

the soul square were born in 2005, when 3 french hip hop beatmakers (arshitect, guan jay & permone) influenced with the same musical roots (mainly jazz, soul, funk?,) decided to work together. on the same year, they released their first remix album, the fresh touch, available for free on the web...

nice price deal !!! frabon started in this new year the 3rd release vinyl, after the success of 1st and 2nd release of frabon in old year,we announced new release vinyl colour green, sure also that ep finish on the bag or charts of the better and bests djs and producer.
we are glad always for you support and for you attention for read!
hugs
flavio.

jori hulkkonens superb 2009 album >man from earth< offered nothing if not a glimpse of pure inspiration, like having a candid dinner conversation with the inventor of the cloth napkin. now, turbo is proud to present this stellar remix pack, which offers amazing new perspectives on tracks from the lp, revisiting the music with an athletes eye and ears bursting with heart.

played by claude von stroke, timo maas, luciano, livio & roby, mihalis safras, d julz, hosh! after his huge success of the summer that was >trumpets victory< only 19-year old kiddo david august is back on stil vor talent with his second ep: sweden roof. sweden roof is also the title track on this two-track ep that is about the funkiness of house music and the glorious moments of melodies. a cut up vocal sample dominates the groove until we can hear why david august is more than a producer, but a musician after all. the great organ melody will have whole floors swinging along to this monster of musical raffinesse. this sound is like crack, once you try, you want more of it. now! and luckily there is. feeding our addiction on the flip is soul kitchen, an even more organic piece of tech-house-niceness. clap snares, pianos, a deep male vocal sample and equally as much sex appeal as dancing at the carnival in rio. this is soulful house music and it doesnt get any better. these two new tracks show that david august is no one hit wonder. >sweden roof< proves how deeply david seems to be in touch with house music - and the dancefloor.

coloured vinyl! yoshihiro hanno aka radiq is a highly acclaimed musician and composer from japan, now living and working between tokyo and paris. he did releases on imprints like sub rosa, logistic and progressive form. hanno worked with the new japan philharmonic orchestra as well as arto lindsey or ryuichi sakamoto. besides he got international fame as a composer for different film scores including work with asian movie master hou hsiao-hsien and film director jia zhang-ke. radiq is since some time well aligned with the philpot camp. when he and soulphiction met again last year during the philpot tour in japan, co-operation was affirmed and tracks were committed. two of those funky nuggets are released here, one coming with a brilliant soulphiction remix treatment. >thanks for purchasing a real copy!!<

marco resmann sent out a few remix invitations to selected producer-friends throughout the world last year. the idea was to remix one of his favorite tracks on upon you. the results are now in and will now be used to usher in the new musical year 2010.

a salute to the boobs. claudes super low down, >big n round< gets a supremely filthy treatment by some of his favorite producers of the year. the a-side is maetriks smashing >feel dem boobies< mix, a relentless tech funk bomb with a heavy beat rooted deep in the earth. the flip is the amazing holger zilske, delivering a super freaky computer-flavored funk mix.
claude vonstrokes hit album >bird brain< has been remixed by some of the best producers in the world from carl craig to robag whrume. dirtybird has decided to release the majority of remixes on vinyl in a series of very limited pressings throughout the next few months. each record will have 300 copies only.

scott monteith aka deadbeat is back on echocord with an absolutely killer ep. after his split ep with fenin on echocord colour this year, and his earlier ep with pole (d.p.) he is now back on echocord with his vampire ep. deadbeat is one scott monteith, a long time montrealer and recent berlin ex pat who has been releasing his own special blend of dub laden, minimal electronics since 2000, for labels such as cynosure, musique risquée, scape and spectral to name but a few. this continues in the same vain. dub is the key here and it is used with such class and insight. the flip sees a more twisted track that shows a slightly more edgy side.

this time its >the greasy beat<, the famed cvs / bootsy collins collaboration. continuing with the theme of claudes favorite producers - robag wruhme steps in for his first appearance on dirtybird. we are honored to have him on this release as he has heavily influenced both claude and justin martin over the years.
the other side features the young j. phlip, delivering her mad breaks/house version that always raises the roof at dirtybird events.
also, a super cool appearance by dop who made their debut on mothership last year as guests on the catz n dogz album. we are very happy to have them back for this special record.
