the second release by the russian project stepsine gives a better idea about musical preferences of these artists. on this record galymjean and vadim combine electro house with nuskool breaks preserving their unique sound characterized by powerful bassline and tough drum parts

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

back in 1998 this was probably just about the wrongest record you had ever heard…and it has to be said that not much has changed. forshaw has a knack of turning out ridiculously hard and mangled electro and techno tracks – but still managing to make them sound >poppy<. sometimes, as in the case of rockford for example, it is because he uses well recognisable (but unexpected) samples. but more often it is just because he manages to make tunes (no matter how hard) that make you stop gurning and start smiling

g t m k is gregor tresher (datapunk /cocoon / great stuff) monika kruse ( terminal m /electric avenue) this melodic, minimal, hypnotic release with a good build up will prove itself on the dance floor is limited to 500 only (physical copies) no hype, no label its just about the musik

cross over melodic detroit techno at its best. imagine derrick may meets ur, then you understand what this is all about. french duo nicolas de susini and sylvain serval comes up with this melodic and hypnotic techno tune with a big potential to cross over to both house and techno djs. remixes done by some cool underground cats like manuel perez, labulo and mourad sliti. they all complete this 4 tracker to be something really special for us at deeplay soultec for the cats who like classical detroit techno

a side is the infamous 2003 edit of alan smithee s version of natalie cole s >tell you all about it<. b pairs firefly - love is gonna be on your side & madelein bell - thats what friends are for

most people need drawers to put names on styles, to define music to a short range of elements. those will have a hard time describing this new masterpiece by uk based dino lenny & simon duffy. combining units of minimal, techno, noise structures and a certain rave attitude at the peaktimes they really make ya feel lost in a positive way. who cares about styles when the result is working, and this combination sure does wether youre at a club or even looking for the perfect track to rock the open air season this year. yellow tail scores big time again with this underground peaktime burner! andrea doria twists the original into a more >electroish< direction. distorted leadsynths with strong mellos leave no choice but to raise the hands and celebrate electronic music the way it should be done, wild, obsessive and free from the daily worries. this is huge

goodlife, gigolo, hot banana or turbo are just four of the countless labels, where kiko has released some of his most eclectic productions. now it’s time for him to rock huntemann’s confused label. his sound is always trenched with electro, ebm and intergalactic disco elements - a certain ratio of retro. faces of life is no exception from this rule. saw-tooth basses a raw drumming and spaced out melodies pave the way for this rave club weapon from the outer rim of uranus. galaxia is another example for his approach towards electronic dance music – comparable to the dutch legend legowelt he simply knows about the analogue sound world. this is a big rock band shrivelled into a moog space ship

its all about easy on the ear hip hop ethics standing toe to toe with the freshest house beats as defected are set to release this dancefloor bomb complete with some stunning new remixes. already championed by a selected few, ame get dark and sleazy with mr.v spitting a whole set of new rhymes. its all about the huge ame dub mix though included on the flip alongside a maw remix

the best bit about the muscles is the muscles. super explosive neu-rave-ish guitar drenched dance music for the hottest clubs from berlin to tokyo to sydney to paris… fierce vocals, out of time harmonies over the top of soft trance synthies + a dose of solid techno. whatch out for the muscles!

forteba was born and raised in hungary where he chooses the occupation of an electronic music producer at the age of eighteen. his early compositions were settled near breakbeat and chill-out area but he soon found his passion in straight rhythms and arrangements inspired by german deep-house stuff. he likes to embed various elements of dub and ambient into straight clear rhythms, so his borders of style are hard to define. he produced some successful singles in his home country as >the garage< together with gábor pasztoriális and got released at hungary-based underground labels……

soulfuric recordings are proud to present two of house musics true legends singer/producer/dj/remixer ron carroll and celebrated vocalist cece peniston, who together embarked on what is likely to become one of the biggest vocal house collaborations of 2007. im feelin u is essentially what uplifting, dancefloor inspired house music of the highest order is about. ron carrolls original bmc vocal mix keeps things on the classic soulfuric style tip, giving room for ceces amazing voice to shine in full effect. one of frances fastest rising artists, dj fudge adds his magic by delivering a raw & soulful main remix, whilst he combines deep, melodic sounds to create a more eclectic dub mix. rounding off the package is an edgier, prime time dub by brian tappert

l delay is all about the drama—but at the same time, its skipping hi-hats and ringing bells suggest a carefree spirit and a supreme lightness of touch. talk about a duality: a cloak of reverb sucks the track perennially towards the dark side, but from the gleeful syncopations to the cheekily sampled live instruments, everything else opens up to the light like a morning yoga position. there s no funny business here, just tight rhythms and emphatic phrases that command bodies to move. its a monster of a track, but it must be of the loch ness variety, because youll never see it coming. on the flip, >frost< —haunted by the same high, lonesome string note as >l delay<— might be even more energetic, if that s possible. the high end has been smoothed down, and some of the roughhewn chicago edge of its companion tune sanded smooth, but its crazily syncopated standup bass line and distant, answering keyboards is all muscle, tensed and ready to explode. spacious drum tracks clear the floor for flashes of tambourine and handclaps so dry you can taste the salt on em. again, no nonsense is the name of the game: just raw, unadulterated funk with an ear for playful rhythms and limber moves

oriol benedet confirms with the clown the good expectations he raised with genetica, his debut with this label. benedet, a studio virtuoso and professional technician, exploits in his second maxi the infinite possibilities of todays virtual samplers. the clown is a piece of work that does not rely on pre established sounds. it is a lesson about the creative potential of the machines.

big hit! stunning minimal techno from berlins underground producer scene! the subdub label owner and berlin based techno activists heinrichs & hirtenfellner, have already released numerous tracks and remixes on labels like lordag, supdub, tonkonsum, römer and freshly squeezed: karateklub! violet rain on the a-side is a deep groovin’ track with melancholic atmosphere rounded up with an amazing pumping bassline. on the flip drop to the warm ground is a funky and intense track accented with bleepy textures. for peak time play, no question about it! “under the water surface” starts with a smooth beat combined with nice melodic elements. but after the break: a dirty and pushing bassline rolls over the whole track - the monster awakes and send the dancing crowd to the moon and back! amazing 3-track ep - buy or die!

ame >rej< style !!! huge melodic electro techhouse , it is pointless to discuss about this tune... a hit !!

i dont have much to say about the dahlbacks. jesper is one of my best friends, even though he is a serious pain in the ass. john made 6 records in the time it took you to read this sentence....and he just turned 11. every once in a while they take about 40minutes out of their hectic schedule (john stops making records...to make a record, while jesper take s a break from the grueling demands of being a condo association manager) to make a record for turbo. in all honesty i think they give me the tracks they forgot about..... cuz you know if they really loved them they would keep them for their own lame labels. so, instead i leave you with the music. 3 tracks that prove again that somehow, against all odds, when you put cousins in a studio they bring out the best in each other. jespers maverick genius and time-honed wisdom tempers johns youthful passion and naive exuberance.. while johns youngbrain redefines the game and reenergizes the old master. the two cousins locked in a dance that continually blurs the lines between student and teacher, a sonic sibling rivalry a musical match with one clear winner ....you!!

up-and-coming minimal star dinamoe (aka rico puestel) who is about to release several records on big name labels shoes us a variety of his producing talents: from crisp and elegant complexity to harsh and sinister straightness. always pushing as youd expect from schieber..

nice and chunky, keep up doing what you do so wellintroducing deadset: an act that crafts house music in some of its many disguises. the two man team used to do a lot of that, and a little bit of this. before deadset1 and deadset2 came into being, they played in the sandpit with the likes of muse, miss kittin, royksopp, tiefschwarz, justin timberlake, scissor sisters and with labels such as fine, blue fin, souvenir, made to play, wall of sound and tsuba. now they do a lot of this and only a little bit of that. disregarding this, that and the other, their tipping point has arrived… they have also been allowed to play around at the likes of weekend (berlin), panoramabar (berlin), fabric (london), the end (london) and countless other joints. lovingly nurtured, their forthcoming album, keys open doors, is about to be released into the wild from the arms of jesse rose and his front room label. music for now, with an eye on tomorrow, made with sounds of then. deadset 1 is tom mangan. deadset 2 is cass. cass + mangan is dead. long live deadset

and so we have, >irst_te?< the word is bay area fillmore slang for >thirsty?< worthy saw it painted on a fence somewhere and made a track about it. this could be a breakout year for worthy who has already had multiple plays on radio one of his >whistler< remix and >that funkin noise< from his digital label, katabatic. >irst_te?< is bouncy and fun and it sounds kind of like it was inspired by the band in the original star wars with the alien clarinet players and the blue elephant on keys. claude vonstroke takes it darker and more techno, with an epic sounding build that could fit into almost any set

with shyza minellis last 12 still at the front of many bags, and indeed the first track on many worn out cds, tuning spork is back bringing a need for more bagspace and new cds. this time it is blackwell who is grabbing your attention and making your friends jealous of your twisted house music sounds. this time it is blackwell who is telling you that >you are entering the twilight zone<. blackwell is a new producer in the tuning spork family. he grew up in north wales and is half finnish, but rest assured that that is the only thing thats fishy about this man. (sorry). inspired by the likes of luciano, jay haze, and ricardo villalobos, blackwell likes his house music to be minimal, but always funky. we can also reveal that ricardo villalobos himself has tipped this record to be a hit, he is seriously feeling the >you are entering the twilight zone< ep

panorama bar smasher !!! played by steve bug, sven väth, locodice & many others... re:connected is a new sub label from out of orbit rec, we have set up this label as a playground for our more minimalistic and techno oriented productions and also to be able to explore are deep interest in this musical genre more. the label will feature some new exciting underground and hard-to-get tracks from martinez triple-o lab in copenhagen as well as some new forward thinking producers on the more darker and freakier tip electronic dance music. re:connected 001 kicks off the label in fine fashion with two refeshing techno cuts from the label boss himself, martinez. these tracks were produced in the dark winter days of december last year, both tunes make a perfect statement of what the labels sound is all about

after productions with sven väth and dj hell, anthony rother continues the tradition of mutual sound enrichment in an ingenious way, including the current publication for the sublabel datapunk limited. this time, no less than xenia beliayeva is involved, up to now the only female producer on datapunk thanks to her highly acclaimed >ultra glamour ep< of last summer. the 26-year-old muscovite by birth has regularly worked as a disk jockey already since 1996 and is considered as one of the hottest german dj insider tips since her support gig for kraftwerk at the zkm opening in karlsruhe. a part from brilliant breaks, xenias remix of rothers retreaded super space model hit >dont worry< is mainly characterised by the interplay of beliayevas and rothers voices, >love s gonna change your life for good<, who would have ever dared to doubt about that. with the flipside, rother once again did a solo revision of >roses<, available up to now exclusively on the cd version of the album >super space model<, and created a highly dynamic synthesis of classical datapunk sound and sporadically interspersed reminiscences of the romantic synthpop of the past century

the new half cousin single big chief comes with an exclusive remix by the earlies. this is the lead single form the album and sums up in four minutes what the band is all about. the single also comes with the first ever remix the earlies have put their official name to, and a electronic upbeat offering from the fantastic dextro. half cousin also deliver these songs to captivating effect live with acclaimed artists martin slattery and anthony genn (the hours), jamie morrison (the noisettes), jimmy hogarth, the earlies and fellow scot kt tunstall all lending a hand on stage in developing this fierce reputation

all tracks written and produced by jallokin at deaf zone terminal 2. a1 decomposed by pink elln at null prod. studios, miami. b2 decomposed by narcotic syntax (james dean brown / frank ford sinatra) and recorded at perpendicular sound, san narciso. b3 repiled by jallokin at deaf zone terminal 2... inlc the legendary >epic< ep by pile from 1996 !!

nerven is without a doubt one of the most outstanding hard techno imprints about. for the latest cut labelboss marcus remus signs mastermind bold, who dropes a huge slammer in the true nerven style you´ve come to expect

the light has finally shone on this spoken word treat after laying in the vaults at defected for nearly 3 years.based on an mjb single this heavyweight club track is a major refreshment from the overblown bellowing preacher tracks that are no longer hitting the mark. its all about free range recordings boss jimpster though as he rolls out a remix of stunning proportions, the production that surrounds the sublime voice is instant, epic in fact without clouding the track with too much studio trickery. a driving analogue bassline and pulsing chords all ensure main room devastation is simply inevitable

>where were you..< is taken from their cd >astral weekends< forthcoming on bear entertainment. so turn your dream machine on, get off your psychic asses and start walking on the laser s edge…. all aboard the space train captained by tin pac-men from toy planets.1972-1977-1978-1979-1980/// berlin-munich-london-paris-new york…they ve seen the best minds of those generations crisped and motherfunked by the active oxidants of brainium zythernitrate. the diaphanoids (visible division) are: andrea bellentani and simon maccari. no aliens nor humans have been harmed during these recordings. remixes for their debut single come from the exciting talent of toby tobias (rekids, bear funk gold, hi-phen…) in 2 forms: his epic proton mix coming in at over 10 minutes long and the superb lazer-disco dub mix. this boy’s on fire! massive and excited reactions already from padded cell s richard sen, idjut boys, tim sweeney (dfa, beats in space), lindstrom, prins thomas, toby tobias, stevie kotey, arturo capone, simon lee (faze action), chicken lips and fabrizio mammarella… they re silver, how about you?

something slightly different perhaps, but probably even more cutting edge and effective. from definition records we present christian fischer. he is probably one of the most open-minded techno artists around judging his numerous releases which covers just about all aspects of techno music. miracle places is solid stomper with electroid influences and dreamy vocals. this would definitely not be misplaced in a dj hell or terence fixmer set. the b-side is a collaboration between fischer and newcomer the ascent. this results in a dark driven and steady stepper with freaky melody. a solid b-side track for the little hours accompanied by smokemachines in full throttle and full on strobe-action

its not minimal techno, its not electrohouse, its not progressive, its italian freshness…if you surf the cool electronic club sound and follow djs like steve lawler, seb fontaine, hernan cattaneo, satoshi tomiie, john digweed, you definitely know what are we talking about alex dolby & maskio is one of the hottest duos in the electronic club scene right now. here they combine the best out of their recent underground hits monday and airball and you get tokyo zoo and u make me sick, two timeless floor burner

support by roger sanchez, mousse t, bob sinclair !! since 1999 the duo of p. brunkow and tim.b have produced with cyber production, paris about 10 eps in a very unique style. an urban kind of house with a tribal and dancefloor feel. their music has been regarded from the start as top quality by many top international producers & dj s from the house and dance scene. their remixes include work for afika bambatta, paul johnson,richard grey & crystal clear, defected uk, and yellorange usa, the former label of house legend tony humphries

a new project from elusive musical tag team duo alexis taylor and joe godard of hot chip. doubleshaw is an anthem of love and disbelief for a dear friend of theirs, a party animal of great intelligence and wit. twist myself again is about legal highs and super hero hulk out lows. two brilliant sides of jerking, surging, electronic madness with a myriad of vocal gyrations and mutations plus plenty of acoustic instrumention to ground things a bit

another superb two tracker from the french master, 2 tracks designed for the best dancefloors around the globe, the title sounds a bit scooby doo but the track is all about deep soulful underground house. franck hits the spot on rawsome with a perfect balance of hypnotic electronic elements and souful deep house attitude. a must for fans of kerri chandlers recent output. on the flip the spot hits just that and is another perfectly balanced deep electronic soulful house anthem. unmissable!

two armadillos are giles smith and martin dawson. their sound can loosely be described as deep house with more techno influences, whether that be detroit or modern minimal sounds. their tracks have warmth, depth and groove, yet have enough energy for the floor. “tunnel of light ep” on dessous is their first release working together. with more material ready expect to hear more about two armadillos very soon. tip

originally hailing from halifax, nova scotia, canada, jon dacey a.k.a. dubious began playing in scuzzy lo-fi noise punk bands at age seventeen. an obsession with 4-track cassette recording spawning his initial productions. now residing in toronto, ontario, canada, dubious interests in crazed dance music fuel his dj sets and productions alike. playing everything from drums, guitar, bass and keys, his take on left field disco house production is distinctly his own. dubiouss musical appetites bounce from wild cosmic rock to blazing acid house, he has few boundaries, yet he remains focused on the funk first and foremost.in addition to his debut on bear funk gold he has also produced for deep freeze, truffle, loop: recordings and on prize (the label he founded). theres nothing dubious about this fellas music

the long awaited sweet n candy album !!

when you start your musical education at age 6 and your are a son of a sound engenieer, then there you are most likely to be a musician yourself. this is the exact case with nenad petrovic, born on 1979 and better known as kobaya… in 2004 his first release >rosa salvahe< ep came out on marko nastic s recon warriors label. the release was followed by>mafia szlava< ep(together with marko), >its all about haircut< on recon light and >blackmail< ep again on recon warriors. today he is working on new releases and finishing his long awaited live act.watch out for his upcoming release on valentino kanzyani s jesus loved you imprint.

big with: damian lazarus, kiki, jimpster, ripperton, p.toile, m.monday daso franke, a fellow well known not only for his fantastic releases on mbf and connaisseur, but also for his furious live-sets, sets out to bring the noise again. after having been inspired by the nerdy world of old-schoolish adventure games for his last release, he uses the dissolute world of absinthe as an afflatus this time. he takes us to a land where alluring little green fairies buzz around and people cut their ears off under absinthe’s massively woozy influence. thujon: the impact of well-made absinthe depends on its concentration of thujon. it can best be described as a kind of heightened clarity of mind and vision. and this is what this track is all about - 100% thujon! louche is the name of the cloudy effect you achieve by adding water to spirits, which contain anise, like absinthe does. this track starts with a low-key groove, which forces up to a mental dance affaire, including a genuine rocking daso-esque break

new yorks label funk la planet is back once again and this time they hook up with new york up and rising producer filsonik to bring you this monster track called evolution. you might already be familiar with filsonik work with tracks such as can u feat nr3 or keep it basic by filsonik and timmy regisford that have made big waves in new york underground club scene and internationally. this is what they say about evolution

according to a friend from new york, nick chacona is into hugging, the smurfs, biting people and feeling really guilty about it the next day, chewing his moustache, shaving his head, cleaning up cat piss, noodling disco, crying and sharing. well, he forgot to mention that he’s also been recording some of the finest house music to come out of nyc since 2001. his angel dust swan dive on bear funk back in 2005 established him on the international scene but hes also recorded for labels as respected as compost, mood music, greyhound and 20:20 vision. this release sees him delve deep into the guitar dub house that sits so sweetly on bear funk gold, the regenerated id for a regenerated bear funk. a cambria heights affair is sure to please

this follow-up to 1999s >dark of heartness< album (tresor.125) attacks from several angles beginning with the hell-bent, club wrecking ball, >dirty old face<. >blackout< in contrast works dub influences around a chicago groove while the massive p-funk stepper >no one<, the balladesque >work< (featuring schmidt on vocals) and >wagging tail< will definitely kill off any skepticism about this albums huge potential

"till now you know everything about mad in sicily, the music, the party, the history of his original movers; heres just another couple of big tunes that makes mad in sicily such a special experience to live the must madox breaks remix of his electro hit feedback with john acquaviva and bass on her face an unreleased west coasted jam by new godfathers on the block blatta & inesha themselves "

slam mode are back with another instalment of their >sedation in noise< series. this new one is all about balance. the a side is a deep, minimal, techy drive that will keep you in space on those long flights between berlin and detroit. still firly rooted in the vibe that is going on now in nyc this record plays out perfectly for the likes of francois k and joe claussell. hit the flip for a breaky jazz techno piece along the lines of early carl craig/innerzone orchestra

new monster hit this winter 2004… a huge driving techno club anthem that will for sure rock the dance floors at a techno club near you. on the b-side, 'scene 2' is a peak track for the peak times and 'lights out' is an outro tool. no need to ramble on about this release, it is a sure hit limited backstock !!

lemos is again a greek artist, so we don t have to talk about cheese again. and he is also releasing his first ep on our label just like mud max (001), florian meindl (002), dario zenker (003) & berovic&leicher (006) before. motek from mud max was keeping sending us his stuff untill we heard junk track which got so much energy that we decided to change our sleeping room into a club. we switched off the lights and our asses where vibrating from the subbasses that this 22 year old guy was hiding deep down the track

phat noisy, dark and dirty electro tunes !!

about 500 dollars feat t.i. !!

reissue of the superb album from shaun escoffrey in a limited edition that contains bonus 4 track ep from the don e urban sessions
