phat >rekorder< like tec-trax-new label !! american artist ariel and german electronic music producer jan muller have joined forces to produce the criminal sounds of prime suspect. with a blend of industrial, techno, new wave, electro, punk and live vocals this duo creates a distinctive, futuristic hybrid of dance. the compelling mix of electronic punk features both jans & ariels emotive vocals, adding a taste of yesterdays anarchist sarcastic flavor, but never interferes with the music. next to prime suspect, jan is the co-producer of internationally renowned project x-dream ...

no matter what, an artistic work most likely results in the amalgamation of a whole bunch of different parameters such as what, where and how a creator may live at a specific period of his/her life... this being for much on the undeniable dimension taken by music on our existences and of course jays one... a man who, in addition to his numerous bookings, does currently like 24/7-ing production wise with this 3 tracker obviously conceived in the very depth of the nite...rubber face sounds as of those unlikely early morning deep bleeping dives into some wakin up city life. whereas deepen your mind seems like a never ending abstract frenetic journey to the heart of synthetized phonk melted with a drop of acid house inherited fx...dancers vibes€,¯bring us into the deep territory with some hammond style keys and tough brooklyn beats.

excellent & deep masterpiece!! one of the more interesting newcomers of 2007, we are delighted to welcome a new ep by october, his first for perspectiv. having turned heads with three singles on his own label caravan, octobers organic techno cuts and thuds, adding an inherent physicality to his productions. a side title track >say again< revolves around a female vocal loop, fuzzing and throbbing with pulsed melodic tone, punching live percussion and deep bass line. a highly unconventional mix, this composition ties together effortlessly, peaking with a deep and droning wave of analog synth and popped beats. b side >go outside< is an after hours treat. a darker, deeper and altogether more ethereal work, stuttering beats are glued together with a warm prodded synth melody. to close, resonant percussion and phased keys submerge the track into a claustrophobic climax.

one sided killer application!! some tracks are so weird, that they can neither be fit into a regular release schedule, nor an appropriate b-side be found. for these black sheep we have decided to create a small niche on connaisseur supérieur. the cnss black edition will sporadically present tracks that are way out of our usual categories… with >numb<, daso finally opens his >panteras< box and again proves his ability to rock reeeally hard. the track actually consists of two seperate tracks whose combination has proven itself during several of dasos live performances. it is the transition between the two tracks that makes the crowd go mad. the clonky intro (already published on ware records as mud max - zampone (maderfotor rmx)) morphs into a giant breakdown with perhaps familiar sounding spoken words before it suddenly reincarnates as a ravey monster from hell! numb shouldnt be taken too seriously and is definitely not for all occasions, but dropped at the right moment, this atom-bomb will cause serve damage on dance- floor-gro

a classic rock album!! including the well known big hits

introvert (aka jukka varis) was born in northern finland in 1982. he lives now in helsinki, which is situated in the southern coast of finland. he has been making music for over 7 years, including progressive house back in 2004-2005 and his first own release from aurium records. the words >original<, >emotionally attractive<, >artistic<, >atmospheric< and >experimental< are the best to describe introvert’s sound. it gives people different moods and visions, something to listen closely to and to think about, and it works on the dancefloor too.

limited nice price action
here it is: the first ever ed banger all stars remix! and its banging!! the flip side features an deep space techno extravaganza by danish discogrungers whomadewho - their 1st release since 2 years. and its a genre hopping master piece. starting with a minimal beat, developing into a 6/8 shuffle techno & ending up as intense technodisco! just amazing! the 3rd remix is a baile funk remix by rio de janeiros underground dj number one: the amazing clay. even more amazing!

set to become a definite summertime fave from kyoto jazz massives shuya okino & vocalist divinti >shine< is an infectiously catchy vocal workout featuring an array of mixes from the mighty (and much loved!) mood ii swing. spins from louie, quentin & dennis f to start!

played by karotte, sebo k, shinedoes... >hamlin< leads us down a path so groovy, its hard to resist this dreamy tale from the very beginning. steady pushing drums define the tracks mood, amounting to a tactful combination of classic deep house vibes flowing freely against solid and functional percussive elements. drifting late night synths and childlike, ethereal chants osmose the mind of the listener, warming and arousing, spreading only positive energy on the dancefloor. deep vibes rec sascha dive takes hamlin off on his own trip, elegantly stripping down the groove of the original and spacing things out even further. this mix is a pure and prolonged snapshot of the orignals travelling mood, building the groove in subtler steps, emphasised by dives treatment of the chanting, spinning vocals and playful, live arrangement. opening with the same finely strung groove as >hamlin<, >snowflakes< introduces a beautiful and delicately dubbed melody amongst its bubbling rhythms

the fantastic voice of andrea love gives a soulful touch to this massive house tune!!!

nice price deal !!! art bleek is a name thats been doing the rounds for a few years now. the paris based producer never fails to live up to expectations whether it be deep minimal housers, downtempo jazzed-out loungers, broken beat or straight up hip hop, versatility is the mans game. hes recorded for labels such as rush hour & loungin and now for sick trumpet he brings californian vocalist charlie sputnik along to make the french connection. first up is all night, a mid-tempo nu-jazz shuffler that glides between broken beat and house with a killa groove, walkin bass lines, vocal hooks and scats a plenty from mr sputnik. support already from domu with plays on his 1xtra show zed bias takes the track and turns it into a new jersey house bumper with that added biaspheric twist weve all come to expect - big ! on the flip we have brothers & sisters, an electronic influenced houser with a bassline bigger than the eiffel tower and slicker than platini. with charlie sputnik again on vocals he provides the perfect narrative & melody to this dancefloor smasher ! the dub mix of this is something else…..anyone for dubstep electonica ? check

support from todd terje, lindstrom, ewan pearson, james murphy, mylo, nightmoves, toby tobias!! debut release from dundee’s sam annand, full of deep and dubby electronic beats, live drums and twisted jazz chords. the >birds of prey< ep is the first instalment in what is set to become an album project in the second half of 2008. from the dubbed out title track >birds of prey<, muted soundscapes of >sleeping bear lament<, crunchy off-beat drums on >into the cosmos< and ending with the driving little electro rhythm >packard<, the percussive energy in this music knocks you sideways and leaves you baited for the next rhythmic twist. a few demos of this ep have been circulating, and have caused quite a stir already. architeq’s live set is already a huge, talked about and memorable experience. sam moved to london a year ago so expect his

pogo features digitalisms trademark synth saturated production & live drums, but they ve introduced some new order esque guitars & jens moelle from the band singing vocals. these remixes of pogo comes courtesy of css. digitalism make electronic music that everyone can rock to - they are part of a new breed of producers leading the renaissance in electronic music reinvigorating and uniting the indie and dance scenes. after their sell out dates last year, hamburgs hard working digital duo continue to troop the globe with even bigger tours at even bigger venues before hitting the festival circuit.

ricardo villalobos, magda, karotte, loco dice, monika kruse, martinez, 2000andone, tiefschwarz, matthias tanzmann, ben klock, lauhaus, raresh...we proudly present our first release on cécille numbers the new sublabel from cécille records. the first release comes from the greek producer lemos and is splitted in two parts. on two tracks he worked together with his friend ilan manouach and conjured two amazing vibe and atmosphere live recorded saxophone tracks that will catch your ear for sure. the other tracks use the perfect balance between rhythmic and vocal sounds. all four tracks are sure shots for every music lover. hope you enjoy…

already supported by pan-pot, sebo k, anja schneider, kiki, karotte... simplicity is the name of the game on both tracks here. on >louder elvis<, the two unleash pure deep-house bounce over ominous, detroit-inspired pads, clean-as-a-whistle bleeps laser their way through a fog of dubbed-out delay. the tunes flow suggests a live session, with tumbling chords following their own whims, but theres nothing haphazard about it. this ones all about the afterhours, head down and moving steadily into the light. a vocal sample kicks off >radio graceland< but dont expect any bloated rock n roll theatrics. instead, van dowski and agnès lay down a slowly rolling groove with a latin touch and even a little bit of reggaetón lurch. hand drums dapple the landscape with faded colors, keeping the mood subdued—at least, until the beat gathers steam and bright, syncopated chords splash about. groaning analog noises push the energy restlessly forward, driving dancers to wild abandon: the track is as effective as it is unconventional. what else would you expect from two of switzerlands most uncompromising crowdpleasers

third album young desire, again captures the fervour witnessed on lapkos live shows. taking in themes of vulnerability and anxiety beneath hardened exteriors, aching feelings, pressure and confusion, the album is a mental trip back to the schoolyard, where tough guy antics and leather armor cant hide the convulsions underneath. theres new depth and dynamic in the bands expression, fitting for a gang of seasoned rock musicians. these two art school dropouts and metal worker have come a long way from harjavalta (though they still gather there to rehearse and play) and have evolved as a band and as friends.

real dj weapon !! again bukaddor & fishbeck rocks the floors worldwide..

freerange celebrates its 100th 12inch release with a double vinyl release (this is part 2) including brand new tracks from key artists including jimpster, only freak/spirit catcher and palm skin productions. jimpster starts proceedings with a brand new track entitled got a hold on your soul, an appropriate title for a track that ll draw in the dancefloor with its warm, shuffling beats, lush chords and bleepy fx. palm skin productions lose it beefs things up a bit for an edgy tech house track with plenty of funk. belgiums only freak return with mental overdrive (remixed here by their alter egos spirit catcher). they round things off in suitably driving fashion with a powerful, stripped back monster of a track. spirit catcher have been enjoying huge success with their releases as well as awesome live gigs around the world.

radio is one of the highlights of felix da housecat fantastic third album, virgo blaktro & the movie disco. its a shimmering three minute synth soul reverie. with its cascading i cant live without my radio chorus and dippy goosebump melody, radio could be a kissing cousin of buggles 80s hit video killed the radio star. needless to say, its tailor made for the airwaves and is already picking up strong support the board.

this is a fresh & rockin kompass musik release, presenting music from the hamburg-city boy denis karimani aka remute! after lonely and quiet years of experimenting and self-discovery he released his first 12inch called >hypnoconsole< on zombie nations label dekathlon records and got remixed by munich-techno-hero richard bartz.the first livegigs followed directly and led him into smoky rave-basements, uproarious clubs, sunny open-airs, as well as shaky party-boats...due to excessive and unresting music-making, denis released lots of 12 s and made several remixes in the following years. he released records on fine labels like traum/trapez/mbf, areal , dial, num, smallville or liebe*detail, made remixes for artists like dominik eulberg, move d or station17 and released his first album >remute< on ladomat. his regular appearance in magazine polls for best live act of the year proves that this is not just theory. now, we proudly welcome this jack-of-all-trades to our yet small but nice label family at kompass musik. he contributes a bodacious three tracker, jam-packed with dirty and pushing club tracks. >slam with the face< on the a-side brings us into some rough, gruffy and exciting soundscapes, the b-side holds two more fantastic proves of remutes far-reaching talent. >cause he likes it<, a pretty deep piece of techno and >propellersweat<, a reduced but heavily effective monster track in the end rave on.!
