welcome to the world of mysterious organist & producer dan electro. dan electro is a charming guy who lives very far away from the sytem of babylon. his music is out of time... it carries the reminiscence of a time when people played music simply for the love of it... his touch is magnetic, mystical and inspired. dan electro musics really got soul. but the man has a complex background... for a long time, he played bass for the slow slushy boys, a band that still performs today one of the best rooted rythm & blues around the world. dan electro finds a great part of his inspiration within the universe of geniuses like louis jordan, eddie kirk, the five royales and the barefoot gospel divas sister rosetta tharpe or winona carr... and he is still involved in music that talks to both your ass and your soul... with a preference for the first !
the lucky discovery of farley jackmaster funks >fix me< revealed dan electro the connections between black music at its core roots and contemporary house music. shortly after, he started producing some amazing tunes that felt like love affairs between old church organs and mad computers... sung by ageless preachers & divas. his music has been played by djs such as gilles peterson, joey negro, sumo, recloose, dj morpheus, spiritual south, nick v, michael rutten, rainer truby, nik weston, unabombers, erik rug, philarmonix, patchworks, stevie sole... radios as bbc 1, frequence jazz, xfm scotland, radio fg, compost radioshow... enjoy !

>munich bass<. oder: schlachthofbronx feiern ein kosmopolitisches volksfest. schon vor veröffentlichung des ersten albums haben sich die drei münchner von schlachthofbronx eine stetig wachsende fanbasis erspielt - dank ihrer weltweiten dj-team-einsätze sowie live-sets und den gut informierten musikblogs dieser welt: viele ihrer tracks gondeln in unterschiedlichen versionen durchs netz. doch nun gibt es mit >schlachthofbronx< eine amtliche version ihres >munich bass<, dem dreckigen hybrid aus afrikanischem kuduro, südamerikanischem cumbia, karibischem soca/dancehall, brasilianischem baile funk, kapverdischem funana, amerikanischem bootybass, dubstep und bayernschranz. diese wilde und anarchische musikwilderei hört sich an wie ein hyperaktives, betrunkenes nashorn im autoscooter: primitiv, aber druckvoll. das ist funktionale clubmusik ohne kulturelle grenzen oder genre-scheuklappen, die ganz dreist afrikanische, südamerikanische und karibische beats mit tieffrequenz-bässen, balkan-gebläse und widerborstiger bayerischer volksmusik mischt. das stiftet verwirrung und sorgt für aufsehen - aber fährt in alle glieder. globale tanzmusik fürs 21. jahrhundert.

with this new ep tom clark makes an impressive return to the highgrade release program. following a collaboration with marcus schatz and most recently with benno blome, he now comes back as a solo artist. after only a few beats, you’ll be sure to recognise his signature sound. tom needs surprisingly few elements to build a unique atmosphere and his matchless grooves. on the title track “scorpio“ we find a deep, rolling bassline and a slightly orientally influenced vocal, combined with the typically unique clarkish synth leads, and we’re ready to go. it’s a track that continually keeps the excitement moving while never letting the cat out of the bag, and more than deserves the a-side. then we come to “albino“, also featuring sparkling synths and rolling drums that create an impression of fluidity and an unhurried beginnings, but we also end up in a waterfall… who would have known!? in conclusion comes “sand flea“, as lively as a box of fleas, but not nearly as aggrivating! mister clark is again at his best, with a love for detail, an innate sence for strange sounds and an a significant quantity of leisurely energy, this tune also really hits the mark. this is not the work of a newbie who produces an aggressive sound to prove his talents. the result is the feature of this ep: seldom has an understatement sounded so fresh. + digital-only bonus track “12 notes“!

mountains is brendon anderegg and koen holtkamp, friends since their middle school days. they began exchanging musical ideas and compositions which led to them founding the apestaartje label in 1999. as their collaborations and individual projects blossomed, they decided to create mountains as a vehicle for live performance. a love of sculpting sound in front of an audience is at the heart of mountains. the groupÆs third album, æchoralÆ (their first self-titled release and second album æsewnÆ were both on apestaartje), is the culmination of their work to date and a balanced mix of the first two efforts. mountains are often compared to artists such as brian eno and fennesz, citing their extended melodies and their unique broad guitar work. mountains seamlessly blend pastoral electronic sounds with both field recordings and a plethora of acoustic instruments.the effect is incredibly sublime and hypnotic as the sounds slowly wrap themselves around each other and alter themselves in the mind of the listener. includes free download voucher.

the make up the break up is the first release on bruno pronsatos own thesongsays label. its the longest track in his catalog (38 minutes), and an even deeper excursion into his stylized harmony. this track was originally a track uncompleted while making, æwhy cant we be like us. revisiting it roughly a year ago, bruno began to reword it. what began as simple attempt to create an ep track out of it became a monster. what monster you ask? in a few words, the monster that is brunos love of musicality and sound design. muscially speaking, we are on a ride somewhere between a slithery house track and a drugged out night out in chelsea, new york in the 60s - and thats a good thing because we get the entirety of the ride: the ups, the downs, the clouded mentality, the broken heart and perhaps the mended one. its happy, its sad - its something that you can dance to, but most importantly, its music that we think you can revisit for many years, as it somehow reflects us, our lives. a playful and extended journey through love and disaster, or at least the soundtrack to it.

luckyme is very proud to present the first release from the collaborative project between nadsroic and hudson mohawke. this ep contains 6 tracks of explosive future r&b, folk influences and dancefloor heat. with a mixture of club-friendly bangers such as room mist and step back and more reflective personal songs like leopards and chemical alongside all hot- an almost unclassifiable blend of live percussion and ethereal diva vocals. nadsroic is the singing / rapping alias of ciorsdan brown alongside the young phenom producer hudson mohawke. to date the young team have only played a handful of shows as nadsroic including radio one sessions and live alongside optimo - for whom they are also releasing a record on their oscarr imprint. ciorsdan was schooled in the scottish highlands immersed in folk music before being dropped in the ugly glasgow metropol of hip hop, techno, electro & club music. with spells living in copenhagen and currently based in semi-rural japan its hard to say where this 22 year old jetsetter picked up her natural sensibility for real pop and future r&b. when shes not teaching children, go see her in a rare live show either back home in glasgow or japan. based in glasgow, uk, 22 year old hudson mohawke currently has the worlds beat scene in a headlock with his heavy drum programming and cosmic synth slop. a teenage uk, dmc and itf champion, hudson has been honing his craft as a part of internationally renowned production duo heralds of change, seminal scottish hip hop group surface emp and as part of the luckyme collective of dynamic, neo-beatmakers. in january this year he made his debut release on warp records with the polyfolk dance ep and has been clocking up serious international mileage with his impressive dj schedule.

the latest gigolo release is one for the summer! aptly titled hot it comes courtesy of ivano coppola and christian prommer, the former being one of italia s most respected dj s and the latter being, amongst other things, one of the main collaborators for hells critically acclaimed album teufelswerk. taking a sample from willie ninjas classic record hot and building a track around the chords and the vocal leads us to our starting point ivano coppola plastic mix!
ivano coppola has been the resident dj at milan s plastic club since 1992, so it is fair to say that he knows what works on a dance floor, or, to use a popular phrase, what is hot and what is not. it is with this historical knowledge that we find the genesis of our track. i found it necessary to go back in the past, to start producing once again in a 90 style - using samples. the next step was to come back into the future and reach out to christian prommer, highly respected by many including ivan i consider (christian prommer) one of the best producers of the moment! he loved the idea, the remix was huge, and so we decided to co-produce the record. simple!!!
but, for christian this was more then a remix, hence the co-production credit! i liked the idea of translating an early 90 s house-music-sample in to a sample-style-percussive-techno-tune. lots of live played drums and percussion in this one, of course. i only later learned that the sample we used is from one of my house music heroes, maws louie vega. naturally the record found its way into the hands of gigolo in the best way possible, and in the tradition of such a great record label – i played it at the gigolo night in munich and hell came to me dancing and took the tune into his heart.
