ahhhh, mr mark e. arguably the leading light in the resurgent obsession with all things disco and slo-mo, convincing über tastemakers like giles peterson, as well as countless weekend warriors with his sonic sorcery. conjuring up edits that were so much more than edits, dropping smash hits like the janet jackson rework on golf channel, and the magnificnet womack & womack re-do on jisco, and more recently becoming remixer du jour as well as crafting equally impressive original music, not to mention kickstarting this, his very own imprint! >special fx< weaves snatches of mid-eighties magic into a lengthy groove-out with that patented mark e throb, whereas >christo< drives us down a decidely more detroit bound freeway, sounding as it does like carl craig remixing prince, well. you dont need us to tell this is the real deal folks!

a dark club, glimpsed through flashes of light, a little fog dividing the space - the ideal backdrop for a dazzling appearance on the dance floor. with the abrupt onset of pulsating beats, booming drums and rhythmic rattling, deep and sexy vocals also appear and >that philosophy< from sasse and phonogenic forms the prefect soundtrack to the scene.

fans of beyond the wizard sleeve, a mountain of one.. will get straight into the sound of double drop label – psychedelic, cosmic rock with chunky beats by luca c & brigante. a side – ‘lucio’ starts off with laid back guitar and strong hand clap, this funky groove goes behind the main melody line that make the impression of sort of cosmic / psyche rock feeling. side b ‘faber’ : light kick, pleasant catchy codes, latin male vocal with bug pipe (?) sound – imagine the balearic classic of ‘stop bajon’ by tullo de piscopo with twisted modern feeling…..

put your seatbelts on! after hitting toys in slow motion, bot.ox puts it into gear and takes to the autobahn, with uptempo drums, mad synth lines and freaky naive melody at the next left turn. >overdrive< could have been a perfect horror movie soundtrack, something like the pop corn theme covered by d.a.f.

h-productions has cultivated a reputation over the last two decades for consistently delivering cutting edge material across a diverse range of styles.
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.

taking the freaky chicago sound down a couple of notches to the deeper realms of jazzy house. heavenly vocals, light broken beats, rolling live bass and touching rhodes progressions. the flip dives deeper into an instrumental version of the latter and is none the less satisfying.

the hot utensil imprint drops more bombs with this heavy electronic house jazzer from rithma. very similar to his >nobodys sleeping< on om, >we rock n roll< features catchy vocals and some jazzy instrumentation. meanwhile seattles jacob london tear it up with a wacked-out cut-up remix that just goes way over the top, and justin martin and sammy d throw somemore buzzing bleepy flavor in the mix with their dub.

nice price deal !!! this is the 002 in typical ecce style but now he is telling an unbelievable story underscored by rollin and heavy basslines and futuristic sounds which reminds me of spaceships in epic battles. light years away from home...

two and a half years after their debut lp, 23 seconds, dazzled critics and lit up dance floors worldwide, cobblestone jazz are back with a powerhouse new album that captures their live-in-the-studio energy like never before. a mixture of heady, jazz-inspired house grooves and below-the-belt analog funk, it raises the bar for electronic dance music in 2010.titled the modern deep left quartet, the record marks an important addition to the cobblestone jazz lineup, as the trio of mathew jonson, danuel tate and tyger dhula brings aboard colin de la plante (aka the mole). de la plante is no newcomer to the cobblestone crew: the four musicians have been playing together for nearly 15 years, since their first performances in small-town victoria, british columbia, and theyve all shared the stage as the modern deep left quartet

der zweite part des jonzon comebacks in 2010 und dafür einfach hier nicht mehr und nicht weniger als die blanke, ungenierte dokumentation des einschlägigen berlin techno, wie man ihn bereits mitte der 90-er jahre nicht besser hätte erhalten können. die tracks wie >make up< und >see the light< erreichen dabei auf diesem streng auf 300 copies limitierten vinyl mühelos den reifegrad eines abgeklärten alterswerks, in dem die kühle technoide klangarchitektur mit vielen impressionistischen soundskizzen angereichert wird und die am ende dennoch aus dem off jede menge schwingungen und techno-funk auf den boden bringt, der anschaulich, als ganz grosser wurf aus dem nowhere auf einmal wieder ganz dicke prognosen für die zukunft von jonzon, und nicht nur diesem, verspricht. man darf hier jetzt schon gespannt sein, wie die jonzon-story weitergeht. the only way is up!

after his big release on the clone loft supreme series, and great tracks on prime numbers and philpot mr dokes is back in the spot lights. here another intense three track ep with tracks that ll give you goose bumps all over. with his special way of programming, his dramatic strings and light piano play and shuffling house beats this is one of those artists with a special musical finger print that one recognizes out of thousands. a rare talent which puts more value on playing with his moods and emotions instead of aiming in straight dancefloor power. this 12 is building on what he started with the chicago pimp release... pure house tracks with a deep irresistible drive combined with joyful keys and seductive strings. some magic tracks from mr dokes!

brut! records baby sister label, pop!, sees its second release with popnonames spaces. an eclectic line-up, including joerg burger, freund der familie and paid for fame, remix the original three times over to offer a varied perspective of the same brave track. revving its engine, spaces drives you to experience things. it invites you to crack yourself open so that through that voluntary rift some new future might pour. bold, beautiful and formless it emerges, washed in a golden light. a baby nebula, perhaps if you are lucky, cradled in the spiral arms of a distant galaxy patiently building mass as it clumps gas and dust together. the important things often creep up silently…recognized only once they are there, even though you had given them no shape in your mind prior to their arrival. space gives possibility to what these forms might be, boundless in four-dimensions. its that expanding medium that allows imagination to roam without end…where the need to distinguish between what you know and invented evaporates and flows pure and clear as an ice cold stream.

big with: mandy, pete tong, thomas schumacher, anthony collins...

fresh 2010 repress !! historia y violencia is a new project exploring the hispanic roots of santiago salazar (dj s2) and j. mendez (silent servant). both producers dissect their latin upbringings as a cinematic theme to create snapshots of the day-to-day blood and sweat that has shaped them as individuals. the sound takes cue from detroit, berlin and chicago to create classic, deep dancefloor tracks. santiago salazar started djing in the early 90s inspired by mix tapes his brother was bringing back from the gay underground scene in los angeles. his style has always been a mixture of house and techno. after moving to detroit, santiago began his music training with mike banks, label founder of underground resistance. he is also half of the duo ican (ican productions / planet e) who have been responsible for some killer techno releases. the central american born j. mendez cut his teeth as jasper in the late 90s/early 2000s, running the california-based cytrax label. a veteran dj from the age of 16, he has performed worldwide in clubs from berlin to osaka. along with technical wizards kit clayton and sutekh, he helped shed light on the small but influential minimal techno scene on the west coast. a chance meeting with karl oconnor in 1999 established a friendship that would later open the door to the sandwell district label in 2006. silent servants sound is a reinterpretation of early 80s post-punk electronics, paired with the deep, metallic sounds of basic channel and downwards.
