>detroit underground put out wildly variant musical styles on their label, from minimal to house, techno and electro - they certainly cant be genre pigeon-holed! this release comes from swedish duo kritical audio and spans through the aforementioned genres and at moments even into dubstep, breaks and d&b territory. moody, mind-tripping journeys are intricately created on katacomb through eerie synths, deep glitchy 303 basslines and arresting electro rhythms. >bugsmasher< rides electro punches and pounding 303s while the title track finds itself with a low slung, dubstep feeling. >oceans 1300< meanwhile explores yet another route with emotive synths and tight percussion, while the spaced out atmospherics of >taipei< round off an excellent 12inch

bite sized beats vol. 4 brings back the kentucky fried duo corduroy mavericks to partake in a deep fried fandango. some jams are fantastically tasty on their own just like a lot of your favorite foods, but sometimes you take that extra step by battering it, and throwing it in the deep frier till its a nice golden brown. that is just what c-mavs did to a stevie wonder classic on their crispy bit >funky jazz<. they fried that bitch up just right and shot the flavor units through the roof just like the miracle of a deep friend twinkee.

self defence returns in full effect with new yorks one and only dj dukes (of sex trax / power music fame) >summer madness ep<. dj duke had retired from the music front for a while, after he had about 300 records emerged after his >blow your whistle< blew up in 1993 and during the past few years. with releases dating back to 1990, you know the mans got skills aplenty, and they once again get a killer workout on this ep. each of the tracks shows a different side of his music-making and rewards ones time and attention, demonstrating that duke plays in his own league of house music. a bit of curry flavour seeps into >summer blast< by way of a sinuous string melody, adding an exotic tinge to the breeziness that otherwise infuses the cut. a funky, vibes-like motif and analog synth streams bring additional colour to the scene while a crisp, pumping groove locks everything solidly in place

aah, how we have missed them! the fine young gentlemen that are channel x, two of stil vor talents most active producers of meticulously crafted and deeply energetic tech-house smash hits. and just in time for the open-air season they now come back with two very convincing pieces of dancefloor art. first up is >little symphony<, an epic space opera that takes it cues from early 90s techno and mixes it up with post-modern grooves and beats. the wide and open spaces are filled with some very hymnal string patterns that are given a final treatment with a reverbed and high-pitched vocal sample. contrast that with the rather jittery beat and a subbass as deep as the frequencies will go and you got yourself a substantially clear bit of techno that is best imagined when it is dark and only some beams of air tell you where you are. channel x do not produce, they direct and all of the sounds are their actors! on the flip things get more light-hearted and set for the daylight hours as well. >steamboat willie< is a heavily sample-orientated swinging piece of jack. the rhythm guitar lead the way on top of a clap-based loop that sets the basis for some very jazzy interpretations along the way. clarinets, trumpets, percussions, brass, effects and even some talking vocal samples are all allowed to join in this hedonistic big band that is at play. this is one for the sunshine, this is one for the smiles on the faces, this is one to feel instantly good about yourself and everything around you. two very different tracks on this ep, but both equally stand out for themselves

die 4 herren der harten schule zeigen was die heute noch alles drauf haben ... the quartet don?t just push all the right leftfield buttons and bling the tweak fantastic, they also reinvent the contemporary groove and find funk in the freak. superb stuff that defies classification ? just like the producers themselves.

here comes the eighth release in the line, pressure cooked by christian wunsch. three slices of fine modern techno, but with strong roots on tradition. buried mistakes opens fire with clean drum programming and punchy beats. spacey arpeggios and subtle drones are the makings of this movie. on the flip side, complete surrender uses similar rhythm coordinates, clean percussion sounds programmed with extreme taste, constantly evolving until the strings come in, creating a sci-fi futuristic mood, perfect for techno travellers. inevitable war is the last piece slower tempo, intelligent drone work out, dark atmospheres lying on a single kick, growing to make a complex beat as the minutes go on. they call it deep techno out there. a departure from the hard edged sounds on behalf of a mental way of understanding techno.

gogo music unleashes the 60 hertz project invigorated with ralf gum and essential i treatments. their world debut single >capricorn< is an admirable jazz house affair featuring magnificent vibraphone and guitar soli with a good dose of melancholy. 60 hertz project was formed mid june 2009 in pretoria and is a live performing group fusing musicians and producers. it was initiated by the young producer and dj talented blackjean. he was joined by the likeminded deeptwelve and marvink, who inspired to collaborate with pianist sdk, bass-player kmor, guitarist tap plus percussionist and vocalist cromy. conjoined they deliver an outstanding performance combining live played instrumentation and electronic beats which brings jazz to the house club and house to the jazz bar. gogo music now releases with >capricorn< their first ever record crowing with remixes by ralf gum and essential

next up on deep vibes comes sascha dive with his killer remixes of matthew dears >little people (black city)<. originally released on spectral sound (spc 101) as a digital-only package a vinyl edition had to follow due to public demand. for maximum sound quality the 20 minute version got shortened to a 15 minute >vinyl cut< (a1), while the >dub remix< comes in its original form on the flip-side (b1). sascha dive and matthew dear met on the road a few years back. in 2008 matthew dear featured a remix by the deep vibes boss on his watergate mix-compliation. when they played together in munich in august 2010 dear asked dive, if he wanted to do a remix for his upcoming album. the only condition dear asked him for was that it had to be the wildest and most crazy remix that dive could possibly do. little people (black city) is the probably strongest song of matthew dears recently released album black city. sascha dives remixes are on heavy rotation and played by a wide range of djs. make sure you get this joint in the box!

cascabel gentz is an ambitious side project of two producers who are always on the run - los angeles resident apendics.shuffle and dilo from buenos aires. since 2009 they get together in the studio and create an individual mix of house, techno and minimal spiced with their own vocals and guitar riffs. this very personal and organic mood reflects on the new record >electric high<. the original tracks are complemented by an excessive remix collection. gurtz and alejandro mosso play their part to make this ep a prime example for todays music culture network.

the -makeovers- project is a compilation of some of claudes best re-twists, some of which are so far removed they can almost be considered original works. this special edition vinyl includes one of the most sought after remixes, -warpaint- originally by pocket 808 in australia, vonstroke turned this into a late night anthem in 2007. played by techno djs, dubstep djs, and everyone in between this track was never cut to vinyl until now. on the flip side claude remixed the nublu orchestra out of new york. he was never completely happy with the original version of the remix and hes gone back and re-made it into a very special piece of music including a new vocal sample from his wife aundy who also did the vocal effects in whos afraid of detroit? this collection was put together with the theme that a remix can be an inspiring starting point for an entirely new piece of music. these are two of the deeper and darker remixes but we think you agree they are also very special.

big with laurent garnier, luciano, stephan bodzin, luca dobbie, patrick bateman. following the successful memories ep on owspezi006, elektrodrei have shown us where their road will go to. now they will up the ante with soebenuntwintig and the two tracks >w.b.f.< and >human reaction<, to sound the bell for the festival season on the premises of ostwind. 2 sweeping tunes bursting with temper just as going under your skin. no doubt they will raise the roof of every festival stage. halleluja!

in just a matter of months, life and death has swiftly established itself as purveyors of quality contemporary dance music, made by artists who would undoubtedly make anyone s short list of who i d like to invite to my afterparty . it seems only fitting then that with their newest release they ve recruited the undisputed kings of late night mayhem and madness for a paen tribute to that beautiful party after the party, the continuation of all things good and twisted.. the afterparty itself. not to take the issue of such a joyful celebration lightly, dop has gone on secret missions over the last 6 months, quietly (and often not so quietly) infiltrating afterparties worldwide and secretly extracting pituitary secretions from the rowdiest party goers at each of them. they then took these secretions, burned them in a special voodoo ceremony and immediately went into the studio to create a fitting tribute to the after-hours festivities we all hold so dear. once that was complete, friends were invited and even more deviants came to the party for some dirty late night remix action. clockwork (who s recently released it s you again on hot creations has already been the soundtrack to many an after party) are here, french wolf+lamb collaborator le loup is here, mas collective (who recorded on seminal nyc label strictly rhythm) is here and marius & david are here too.. everybody giving it their own special flavor. what an afterparty indeed.

as the producer responsible for some of lil b and soulja boys weirdest, most inventive beats, and following on from a critically acclaimed, self released mixtape of instrumentals collected from his work over the years with various forward thinking hip hop artists, tri angle is very excited to announce the release of >rainforest<, the debut ep by clams casino. the five songs that make up >rainforest< find clams casino (aka 23 year old new jersey native, michael volpe) refining his ethereal, otherworldly sound, whilst taking it to a heavier and more intense extreme. what has set clams casino apart from most other hip hop producers is his skill in making records that sound just as good, if not better, instrumentally as they do with vocals, and if anyone needed it, >rainforest< represents the confirmation of this. its a record drenched in mysterious atmospherics, like a foggy memory of a far off exotic place, the details buried beneath the mist of distortion, but present nonetheless. none of the songs on >rainforest< have ever been released before, and in contrast to most of his other productions these songs have always existed purely as instrumentals, free of any vocal presence. >rainforest< is an incredibly powerful release which signals the beginning of clams casino coming into his own and operating as an important artist in his own right

ppm makes music on the borderline of industrial and dub. their tracks are created in a process where live-jamming, remixing and sound exploration are vital parts. ppms debute ep is a fine mix of tracks produced during the two years since they started. the release on white vinyl is limited to 300 numbered copies.

they may have grown up in different generations on different sides of the atlantic, but one thing detroit master delano smith and irish up and comer gavin herlihy share in common is a disregard for boundaries. deftly slipping between the definitions of house and techno, both have carved names for themselves by ignoring the laylines of either genre to imprint their own inimitable stamp on dance music. on krypton factor the pair link talents to deliver an ep that is typically irreverent of trends or genres.

summer of danny is an exclusive vinyl ep about dwdk serial dancefloor gems to be released as digital singles only in the next months: as you probably know supersonic lovers is a project by ajello s dj rocca and marcello giordani (italo deviance blog), they teamed up with singer adam clay (of ricky l born agains fame) for one of the catchiest vocal tune of this summer. dutch rhythm combo feat isa gt has been 2010 secret weapon for many djs, this mix of latin, hip-hop, funk gets remixed by dwdk dons ajello for extra party time action. jadoo is another italo-nu-disco dream team (ajello, heels of love & rampi), the irresistible voodoo love features the vocals of the most famous disco queen around hard ton. huge huge huge. showroom life by hot duo ajello close this vinyl sampler with an up-tempo disco tune designed for mirroball dancefloors.

patrick lindsey is no new comer . active in the techno world since more than a decade , releasing music on labels like terminal m , kanzleramt , kling klong , sci_tec to name a few . so when davide squillace and luca bacchetti received a demo from the german producer , they were really impatient to open the zip file and discover what was inside . the two discovered a four track ep full of analogue synths , organic beats and grooooove . so here is hideout ninth reference : get up and bounce ep by patrick lindsey . it all starts with > what i remember < a very strong anthem with a disco funk loop background and deep vocals by k. mason. the title track > get up and bounce < is next with its hypnotic >get up< voice snipet on top of a shuffled semi acoustic groove full of cow bells and snare drums. third track of the ep is named lockruf , evolving from a jazz sample thru vocal snipets , crazy drum rolls and saxo hooks. the last track of the ep is schleifkraft where a straight to the point chicago groove is topped with some more vocals , a very bouncy bass line and analogue synth sounds . a new reference in the hideout catalogue , four new techno tracks soon to become classics !

>supergravity<, a simultaneously gritty while ambient track of the highest order, recalls not only drexciya and the detroit underground in its prime, but the ambient techno hey day of artists like the black dog and the inimitable lfo. >atlas detection<, with its subsonic rumble and pins-and-needles like synths is music for the dancefloor at the ripest darkest hour. harnessing noise in the most seductive of ways, it is undeniable in its extraterrestrial appeal. >andolit swaras< displays the minds of minimalist composers, with its striking approach of having its melody lead the narrative it tells- as opposed to dancefloor traditions of rhythmic domination. it is intelligent and dream-like, sublime and filled with reverie, as random as the dreams that ones psyche presents. lastly, they give us a real bite into a slice of phuture hip hop. working with sensational, legendary mc for the jungle brothers, they twist hip hop into an acidic downtempo track that hits hard to say the least. its a dubsteppers dream on some level, but with a crafty psychedlic component that mesmerizes.

since decadence in june 2010 and seven eps released this year, dame music is a continuous story of success and has established itself in the underground music scene. the triumph of bloody marys >arabesque< ep on national radios was a turning point for the label which has defined its musical identity, a modern genre of electronic music blended with a touch of rock, disco, classic or new wave influences. last hits sierra sams >queen of spade< ep and komatons >dehunt< ep are an excellent representation of the dame-music signature. the artwork of the label has also seen a significant evolution by the quality of its covers and teasers which fully fits with the music. to celebrate its first anniversary and give a first overview of the label imprint, dame-music is proud to present potluck, a special compilation of unreleased tracks, produced by five duos (one of the dame-musics artists, plus one of their friend). bloody mary got this concept to gather the dame-music family (mostly consisted by marys berlin based artists and friends) to work hand in hand with the music and artwork. they shared talent, creativity, emotions and ideas.

>dysfunction<, hannulelauris first ep on i m a cliche goes beyond the dreamy, cosmic atmosphere of their previous releases and remixes on other eurodisco labels. the duos new sound still sends us floating but with an edgier, more toxic ride. hannu and lauri aka hannulelauri created a track for i m a cliche, a remix of botoxs hit >blue steel<. this track inspired the label to make more room for the finnish duo and bring their new music into its discography.
these two have been active figures in helsinkis club scene for quite a while, producing music together since 2006. when they crossed the borders of finland, the name of the band was pretty hard to retain but it didnt take long for all the bigwigs of modern disco to memorize it. two originals and a selection of remixes: >dysfunction< steps into the territory of deep melodic house with a classic resonance >box of box< throws around some fun rough beats toby tobias remix of dysfunction is iced with elegance and soulfulness. populettes remix of >box of box< is the new best friend of house dancers.

newly signed to planet mu, travis stewart aka machinedrum is known to the electronic music cognoscenti as one of the finest, yet inexplicably underexposed producers out there. after an extended ep last year on the luckyme label he is putting out this four tracker followed by an album with mu, and his new tracks and live performances are garnering some excited attention and new fans and supporters. the songs on this ep are light and sun-hued with psychedelic, colourful sounds and melodies. clocking in at around 160 bpm, they work within ands alongside the rhythmic conventions of footwork and jungle, with a hefty dose of uk-flavoured bassomatic house thrown in for good measure.

the production duo of dual process, aka dj java and dj ben j, have been in the drum & bass scene since before it was being called the drum & bass scene. initially as ravers, then djs, and now as producers, they have been witness to the progression of the various sub genres that are now present in todays spectrum of drum & bass music. after releases individually and collectively on several different labels dual process are ready to launch their own label aimed at the particular sub genre that they have successfully played in raves, clubs and on radio for the last few years. straight up, dance floor, jump up is whats going to be on offer from audio hostage records, and to kick things off we have two heavy slices of face churning, bass ridden, ignorance capable of setting mcs to self destruct and levelling any sound system. both tracks are getting heavy support from a range of djs and radio stations such as, hype, crissy criss, taxman, nicky black market, brockie, ss, jack frost, ash attack, hoodlum, logan d, profile, pappa g, vital elements, spice, origin fm and kool fm.

following the soothing >landscapes of the future< compilation, featuring selected ambient works by argentinas finest (jonas kopp, gustavo lamas, leonel castillo…) greener records is proud to present its first split ep, with label boss andres zacco and brother in soul franco cinelli. the greener 12 inch releases come out on vinyl only, for the simple reason that they are specically made for djs, and this is exactly what this record is about.

>positivenoise< is collaboration between system 7 and british house music legend a guy called gerald who now lives in berlin, and is one of two tracks on the new system 7 >up< album that they worked on together. the original club mixs exuberant sounds and crisp beats exude an infectious feel-good quality and a bright tech confidence inspired by berlins leaner sounds - already gaining plaudits and plays for its modern club sound. the carl craig remix strips down the original, and twists and turns for the dancefloor with dubby deep techno in carls own legendary style. a.mochis remix is a darker interpretation, with a long dropdown featuring shimmering s7 trademark sounds and a breakbeat build-up.

cisco cisco reappears on the spanish label apersonal music with more nudisco quality from the portuguese duo. 2 original tracks, higher the perfect weapon for the techydisco lovers and brothers in arms freshing up the release with an enchanting laid-down groove. a solid offer that reaffirms the promising relationship between this rising artist and apersonal, under which they debuted last year. apersonal always has excellent offers on the remix department. so its no surprise to see names as greg wilson on their catalog, a producer regarded as one of the most important figures on the uk dance scene. remixing higher he gives a different edge and tempo to the ep, with a faster version for the higher times.

dubline records unveils their next release by the neurodub duo that runs the dubline camp - melamin & wicked sway. the theory behind this production outfit is balance. neurologically the human brain percieves information to be incomplete if it is not symmetrical. in a practice of endless work ethic the sound design interfaces perfected beats that have an even balance of elements. the process in which people follow music as a path is implied in the waking of the conscious mind while in it spirit. the thought process of their approach to neuro is always written for the peoples natural instinct to follow obvious paths of information that can be used to direct the appliance of listening as a being of light tunes in and drops out the appropriate information. thus by drawing attention to the information the focus remains to show the difference between the foreground and background. a focal point is intended to encourage the listener to always furthur the exploration of the information presented. using elements that are different to show that they are clearly different components of presented information and yet both also with similarity to those of the same reference. its simply easier for ones step towards enlightenment in the experience of being human to realize the thought process and recognize the ego, reminding at the expense of the thinking brain that its cheaper to die.

with the new release on maruca music we welcome a trio from moscow: b.a.d.
it stands for bvoice, anrilov and danilov (denkbar). all three of them are well-respected artists on their own and now they joined together with the label owner pier bucci to create and crossover between russian culture and latin-american soul.
the title on the a-side >musica moscow< is like a night in moscow: trippy, mysterious and lots of rhythm.
the second track on the other side is named >the poem<. it is a deep and thoughtful track complimented with a russian poem by arseniy tarkovskiy which was taken from a movie shot by his son and one of the greatest russian directors ever andrey tarkovskiy himself.
early support by: andrey tarkovsky, fiodor m.dostoyewski, g.i. gurdjieef, antonio velasco pina, lev tolstoy.

two tracks from alden tyrell which he played in his live sets a couple of times. produced without the intention to release them or do anything with it beside using them a few times in his sets. however after we played the tracks from cdr we just needed to get them on vinyl! so here they are... two basic chicago house trax ready to be played out loud!

sick new three tracker from ghostleigh and his mate brian barian. not much on info on its provenance, but anyone into the previous ghostleigh 12 inches (and they have all been killer if you ask us), will definitely dig this. not quite techno, not quite dubstep, not quite future garage. just a healthy mixture of all three. limited copies!

onwards and upwards for the section8 clan as they get ready to deliver possibly their biggest release to date with a mighty, thunderous dubstep assault from one of bristols brightest up & coming production duos, dodge & fuski. having built up quite a reputation already with some killer releases on labels such as never say die and rat, this one looks set to earn them even more attention, get ready for the sound system bangers! ethereal pads open up aerophobia before an epic, grandiose synth enters the mix to set the scene for whats to come and youd better be ready because its quite simply, sick! watch the dance go crazy as we kick into an absolutley heinous bass riff that grabs by the throat and doesnt let go with a smashing break holding it all together. it only goes on to get even better with a totally funked up 4/4 switch up too! more bassline manipulation ensues and the dubstep break returns to complete whats sure to be a massive club anthem. a lot of fun. onto the flip and the tranced-out intro vibe continues with another awe-inpsiring arrangement of twinkling synths and fx on fuckem all. though the ravers are gonna love it and thats really what this is all about. bangin!

its needless to add many words to the big success of >the elephants< original release. we however could not resist to have it remixed by some of the worlds hottest producers. and here they are: great names, great music!! go for it

this is a special release to us at days of being wild, firstly because it s the return of catalepsia and he s in a mighty form, secondly because we felt very privileged to have artists of the calibre of sean and don getting involved and lastly the quality of the remixes they delivered left us speechless! so dope menace is an energetic dance floor stomper, centred around a very heavy beat and is indeed quite a menacing affair. built around a hellish, relentless string riff, the track is a dramatic, cinematic, dark mid tempo house number that could induces as much fancy foot work as it would head banging. jerome bazzanella, the man behind catalepsia has been releasing techno / house records for the last 3 years on various labels and compilations (synewave, remute, métis recoordings...) he likes to keep the tempo roughly between 110/120 bpm, favouring a heavy, efficient sound, with subtle sound effects and movements, in the tradition of the records from chicago and detroit.

from the murky manchester backstreets, the el diablos social club main man neil diablo (aka the midnight chopper alongside cohort mr masters) stalks his balearic-rock prey with a sharp eye for a groove and a keen sense of razor sharp riffing! on this outing they turn their attention away from the over-subscribed disco edit scene, instead focusing on something a bit more bearded, a bit more rock.
the first chop is the deepest ...

dj karotte support !! when benno blome and jens bond were hanging out in bennos studio the other day they suddenly found themselves on the floor looking for their heads. they must have fallen off, while producing some new bond & blome-beats. having found their heads again, and put them back on, they continued, and finally came up with the lose their heads ep. after a couple of 12inches for sender records (tentacular, control your soul) during the past years, they now armed forces to release on senders new sublabel senzen. also thanks to the fantastic remixes from onno and acumen, this whole package is ready to rumble all over the dancefloors of the universe. you can leave your hat on, while you lose your head!.

open the curtain for the next trick from the highgrade disharmonic orchestra: for the last year the team have been busy refuting the notion that the dj is a one-man-band in the booth… tom clark, todd bodine, philip bader, dale and daniel dreier are an act that combines all their many and varied qualities into one pot, stirring vigorously and serving up a hearty dish that goes straight to the hips! they have proven many times with their live performance that the musical ingredients are just right – and have also put the evidence on the record with an original ep. now comes the follow up. the first track way too far, is a live recording which evokes an atmosphere of urban beats and pulsating flashes just behind the eyes and a dancing crowd who appear to sink deep into the dance floor. then theres a complete chance of scene for the second track the other night, that appears to hijack the veranda of a villa in the american south. crisp rhythms are backed by muffled thumping beats, a trumpet laments, a sexy sleep-talking emerges in gentle piano sounds. this is southern passion under the disco ball, cleverly approximated by the highgrade disharmonic orchestra

hey is helmut erler, one half of hey-Ø-hansen, the fabulous austro-dub band from berlin that already did three releases for pingipung. in >wuzlguzl< he presents a childrens song from austria. in his original dialect he sings about the five fingers on the hand and what they have to do with the plums on the tree! the flip turns the song into a psychedelic lullaby.

the enigmatic french trio dop unleash another sonic assault of deep and visceral house music on guy gerbers supplement facts imprint with three bold and organic cuts for your sex. a dark broody and characteristically cheeky affair, your sex opens up this dop creation with a stripped back beat and looped vocal. low-end bass build up the title track to a crescendo that engulfs the senses in deep acid frequencies. this is a nod to the techno elite but fusing a new depth and sensuality to the genre, in true dop style. skipping into subtle and kinetic territory, half naked flirts with reverberating whispered vocals and crisp percussive beats. a lethargic and almost yearning record, it massages the energies of the body with a playful and soothing approach. last up paul ritch tackles a remix of the title track, elevating those throbbing bass elements to new levels with a fluttering and-high energy weapon made to hypnotise the feet, body and mind. dopis the musical summation of a 20 year long friendship between members clement aichelbaum, damien vandesande and jonathan illel, their musical relationship beginning in 1994 as the result of a rock & roll cover band formed for the french national day of music, experimenting in hip-hop, jazz, and reggae followed by various musical incarnations. in 2005 they made the transition into electronic music and last year delivered a highly regarded debut artist album on circus company, noted in the guardian newspaper as steeped not in orthodox 4/4 house and techno, but in jazz, classical, hip-hop and world music

and here it is: the second vinyl ep of niko schwinds album >good morning midnight<. it features some of the unique tracks that niko has created together with some of berlins hottest production talents. on the a side are two tracks that feature the clicky tech-house boys that are channel x, where things kick off with >back from the bar<. it sounds as the title suggests: a little wobbly, a little drunk, a little crazy, but also pretty magic. quite clearly this is an homage to one of berlins not-to-be-forgotten clubs that is unfortunately history now. but things continue on here at least with >dont turn the lights on<, a more straightforward dancefloor track, with a trumpet as the main protagonist. this is one of those tracks that keeps leading up to a real arms-in-the-air-moment if it wasn’t so damn housy at the same time. on the flip the magical connection between niko and label daddy oliver koletzki can be heard on >master of ceremony<, a chopped-up house track with epic dimensions. when things get to the piano breakdown, they get very musical and colossal before dropping back into a great house track. the stark contrast between the piano melody and the groove on this really make it. last but not least then, the original album opener >good morning< that features the singing of fran. it works great as a great album opener, but also perfectly as a slower and more thoughtful addition to a great ep

debut release for duo altarboy and wonder wet records which are together two of the best recognized realities in roma. they show up at your door without knocking, stepping up with an excellent single. sophisticated and intelligent sounds are their unique trademark. deep atmosphere on a solid punchy groove. warm bassline sticks together with rhythm and fine analogue synth. caspy cousins get fun with their vox samplers on both tracks. this single is definitely for smart dancefloor. for sure you will re-listen it the day after and again and again.. really well done!
