nice price deal !!! the a side is a killer lp only punk funk anthem from the sessions that spawned the legendary spasticus autisticus. this did appear once on 12 as a very rare uk only promo and now its lovingly remastered for a another go round the mulberry bush. beans in your jeans indeed! we move, possibly the funkiest of the visage tracks and a big cosmic play for baldelli. this piece of classic white boy funk is on a couple of increasingly rare 12s from back in the day but due to lacklustre mastering until now its never really sounded quite as good as it should do.

joel mull is more than a contemporary techno artist. he definitely will be known as one of few who more than rode but created the wave and will always be mentioned regarding the fact that he underlines the message that techno will never die! he made his choice in his early adolescence attending a music school and spending hours and days at the piano and keyboard. he is amongst the top 4 swedish electronic musicians with the likes of adam beyer, cari lekebusch and jesper dahlbäck. he started traveling around the globe more than a decade ago and quickly made himself well known as tasty bit of the electronic world with great dj-sets and astonishing live performances which are a must have seen even for the hardest critic. he is a quiet guy who learned his handcraft and evolved into a genius producer who incorporates all his listening experiences in his music. code red, drumcode, kanzleramt, inside records, primeevil, loop records, superstition records, svek, tortured records, turbo, underwater …are some of the platforms which aid him spreading the message

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

azucar recordings, imprint of dutch dj and producer dj madskillz founded in 2003. azucar had a couple of massive house anthems, like >caliente< and the >microfunk-pecan remixes< which had big support from the likes of roger sanchez, grant nelson, roog, erick e., gregor salto, and laidback luke. here comes the next brutal house tune with a catchy hook, ready to rock the dance floors

producer holger behn aka h.o.s.h. is back on stil vor talent with his third release and second 12 inch on oliver koletzkis imprint. his latest two tracks are all about house music, while always keeping a strict eye on the dancefloor. it starts with the tech-house anthem >grünanlage<, the name of a sunday afternoon open air in h.o.s.h.s hometown hamburg that he co-organises. the tune features a great clappy snare and some wonderful balearic guitar melodies, which swing over the fast loop. this tune is going to put a smile on your face wherever you are. on the flip there is >blaupause<, which translates as blueprint and is a dreamy housy pusher that keeps grooving with its synthie-stabs and warm bassline. later in the track h.o.s.h. adds an oldschool piano that pushes the track into another state with its drifting melody. it reminds us of so very many great rave moments. however, h.o.s.h. never gives in to the temptation of drifting off into cheese, stays cool at any given moment and keeps the seal of quality for his music very high. >blaupause< is a wonderful summery teaser that never explodes, but keeps imploding! h.o.s.h. once again does what he does best: delivering two wonderfully melodic tracks that fluctuate perfectly between house and techno. just the way we like it

made up sound constitutes finest broken detroit tracks of clear, crisp and sharp intensity . >sleepwalk< invites on a journey into an ocean of detroit techno sound: always holding you in line and on track, never wished to neither halt nor end. >699< logs misinterpretation of code, reports failed man-machine interaction caused and eventually leaves both as audible result. subsolo continues true techno music coming from d for den haags dave huismans a.k.a. 2562. fresh tunes anyone? there you go

imagination of the shape draws a new skyline while not abandoning the roots of the city. the tracks this time obviously point towards the future of course a bright one! the mixture of established artists and newcomers declares that plastic city has many great names and artists inside the city limits and nevertheless searches for new flavours, techniques, sounds and people but this time something is really different. all artists mentioned on the double 12inch compilation come up with neverseen creations which all have a new flavour and perfectly fit together. imagination of the shape sounds like science fiction house music something you never heard before. high quality tech house touches new spheres and instantly grabs the listeners attention. approved artists as terry lee brown junior, the timewriter, greg parker, rob pearson, colin dale or eddie richards prepared a row of pleasant surprises as they left the old centre of their city. slightly more minimal but still housy and groovy the tracks are connected to each other as it has always been greatly compiled at plastic city. theres much consideration behind the artists works as well as behind this chapter. imagine the shape imagine the future

zimmermann alias jens zimmermann aka tyrell corp. aka dj gargamel is constantly changing yet always the same: a damn good producer. from his early days when he whipped up tracks by culture beats and out of the ordinary into dancey frenzy with well-known german producer torsten fenslau, to his drum n bass-fuelled moments of technical innovation, jens has never been one to stand still. constantly reinventing hilmself, he always managed to keep things ticking, making him one of the most sought-after producers in the late eighties and throughout the nineties. now, in 2007, after years of noise research and sound sculpting, he is re-emerging as zimmermann which stands for >new german minimal sound<. after three much-celebrated releases, aptly called zimmermann #1, #2 and #3 on room recordings, which were severely hyped up by germany s house fraternity, and releases and remixes on boxersport, k2,and hifreaks as well as on harthouse mannheim, the future is looking bright for jens

dj yellow has been around for many years, most of us all know the story behind his past as bob st claires studio partner. its only a small part of his history and maybe the most interesting part of alain ho tu qui aka dj yellow is the fascinating part of telling stories through his music without any compromising. with >no more enemie< he ends a personal story that we know as >alienation< a sequence of songs all based on personal stories. focus is honoured and pleased to introduce the last part of this book of songs as yellows outstanding ideas about music have been inspirational for many labels and artists over the last years. with his next project called >intermission< he will travel new roads, showcasing once again that yellow is a gifted producer that never fails to deliver

i never told you on the a side is a deep grooving soulful piece of underground house music. flip for the latin flavoured on the other side and i got love for you - another deep grooving journey

train of thought is not only significant for being the latest album by detroit legend terrence dixon but for being yores premiere full length release. the albums tracks range from 80s sounding cybotron like excursions to raw, stripped down techno and warm, chord driven house alike tunes. the double vinyl set includes rapturous settings of synthetic sound and swinging cuts whose burbling keys, pounding kick drums, and brisk hi hats evoke the brilliant sheen of detroit techno. though his music may invite comparison to drexicya and atkins, dixons music often imitated but never duplicated ultimately stands alone.

its now pig&dans turn to release the next big thing in the cocoon recordings universe. their electronic house sound – closer to techno than to guy gerbers deep house as regards content – is a perfect image of what is happening on the planet s dancefloors. trippy and driving electronic beats which are never flamboyant are combined with filigree basslines, giant spherical spaces and weird sounds in long sophisticated arrangements: modern minimal house with a good share of techno.

originally released in 2001. minifunk pres the best combo of producers from the vienna scene: martin retschitzegger and michael (duke) peter aka hi lo, the memory foundation, the skinless brothers...a never ending list of akas.

the term legend is applied to many djs and producers without credence, louie vega is one of the elite few who truly warrant the title. from the latin influences that shaped the early stages of his career, through his inspired partnership with kenny dope gonzalez as master at work, to his winning a grammy in 2006, louie vega is one of the true pioneers of house music. here, louie takes you on a personal journey through the music of his life, entwining salsa, jazz, samba, funk and soul into the house lead beats and grooves, producing a mix more than worthy of his fêted ability. this is house music at its very finest

>active agent< is the new groundbreaking composition from harthouse - highly epidemic and instantly causes addictive behaviour. the wisely assorted collection of artists is a clue for how high the bar has been raised and you can look forward to the adverse effects. phil kieran amongst others released magnificent stuff at soma with funk d void. his latest production comes on novamute and announces the second half of >active agent< with a wonderful playful minimal track. kiddaz fm labelowner holgi star and miro pajic fly the berlin flag and polish the dance floor with an excellent minimal techno track. you cant miss hardfloor at a harthouse compilation. the all time heroes spread their message: acid will never die! ..and prove that they take their business serious! axel bartsch runs his own imprint >sportclub< and shows his talents at kompakt and spielzeug schallplatten. he presents minimal house at a deeeep level for the second coup of >active agent< huge track!

monster debut release ! …although they have enjoyed some vinyl success (add in sneaky rmx, kitsune rmx, k.i.m. rmx) they have never got to walk out of the housecarrying their own 12inch slab of slick grooved black plastic

promise land is a solid deep soulful groove created by koyla. the demo floated around the bombay itunes player for a few of weeks, we needed someone to tear this track up. we tried a couple of options it wasnt working this groove needed something killer. thats were good friend jrod indigo come into play, san fran neo soul singer decides to come into lovely vancouver to hang for a while at bombay studio hq, and thats were the story starts for this track. jrod writes and lays down his song and creates the promise land over koylas ripping hooks and players. everyone is diggin the direction, timmy comes in and throws in some backups, inhouse producers sean dimitrie and nav take all the parts and put together a b side. the awaaz mix takes the track into a late night bumping funky direction with ambient tripped out textures and hard detroit style chords. overall this is a classic style ep with a real organic disco avour, that will never die for us. koyla and jrod are true musicians and deserve the fullest respect in this genre.

two outstanding forgotten house classics from the cbag vaults, first up is long lost gem >racing tracks<, which appeared originally on umm in 1993, a villalobos classic with a minimal funky house break, a rolling bass line and racing car samples, on the flip is an exclusive derrick carter edit of the 1988 acid house classic >downfall< by fellow chicago legend armando - this version has never before been released on vinyl

originally released in 2003. this is a journey into finest deep house made in germany

after his collaboration with label head daniel stefanik for cargo edition 003, sven tasnadi steps up for his first solo release. >el fuego de dentro< features those typical relaxed grooves that remind us of endless mediterranean summer afterhours, hitting exactly that specific spot of abeyance between euphoric celebration and absolute physical exhaustion. his bass drum is never obtrusive but always compelling. svens tracks are ultimately funky, full of funny little sounds swirling around. and not to forget, with >2190 días contigo< mr. tasnadi reveals his epic qualities as well. with this record, mr. tasnadi definitely proves that he is a guy you need to watch out for in the future.

this is the first ep on flash recordings that doesnt feature label owners florian meindl and oliver koletzki. but they have made sure to look for a quality replacement. no one else than cologne-based artist daso - renowned for his previous releases on labels like mbf, session deluxe, ghostly and connaisseur - teams up with his buddy pawas to create their first release >night express< on flash. pawas has just had his first record out on adam krolls and markus müllers imprint squonk records and has been a dj for 9 years, moving from india to cologne one year ago. on the a-side daso & pawas foreshadow the summer with the track >tgv<: a beautifully deep melody that swings along a powerful loop. >ice< - the name of germanys high-speed train is clearly more electro-driven. a slightly broken beat with a thumping organic bassline pumps above an ever-changing soundscape that culminates in some euphoric high-pitched synths. never too much, this is a perfect example for elegant understatement. also on the flip side is the track >bummelzug<, which translates as >very slow train< in german. this is a dub-techno masterpiece. deep dubs and arpeggios flow over the simple beats with a great clappy snare drum. dreamy, hypnotic, melodic! flash recordings has just become fit for the summer

the follow up to the club stomper da beat kicks, might just prove to be an even bigger dancefloor bomb. spiced up with a little urban twist, push me shows rootzmaster basoskis never ending love for house music!

hot rockin electro house trax by david guetta on this double vinyl called >pop life< !! feat steve angello, sebastian ingrosso, el tocadisco, chris willis, jd davis and many more

again and again, for the second time in a month for a double bill dancefloor winner. highly sought after and hard to find electro rock version of chicagos house pioner juan atkinss cosmic car, opens this 12inch cover version, from the mid 80s, has reached cult status among those in the know, but has became so hard to locate that it never properly crossed over onto the overground club culture world. we hope to give this masterpiece a second chance to reach his highly deserved broader audience. totally highly essential! b side gets back to the european funk mysteries. massive funk disco instrumental from holland, with all the elements that make a classic.. well, classic actually, but with only 7inch and album versions available at the time, this pure slice of delight never made it to most djs flycases. heres your chance to grab this one, on a slightly re touched 12inch version by our d.classics men nico & pierrot.

these swedish producers never cease to amaze with their disco-fantastical production skills. this new tune is no exception. song fot edit is a lovely club journey instrumental with drawn-out strings, plucks, and jabs. almost moroder-esque, itll be quite difficult to decide which of the two mixes, original or club, to play. well then you may just have to play both.

burn me up will appeal to a wide house music audience including all those catch that love stuff from jesse rose, switch and those cats, its nasty but nice! endor has been played and approved several of times by raoul belmans and is just one of those light and funky tunes that are really hard to get out of your head when you hear them. last but not least we have get down, rock it out which brings the 80s partyvibe right back at your doorstep like they were never gone

stefan engblom and olle cornéer aka dada life have caused a massive stir in electro house land. or shall we call it la la land? anyway, after impressing releases on imprints like mylos breastfed, john dahlbäcks pickadoll, fatboy slims southern fried and rise records its now time for a kickin release on the alphabet city label platform >this machine kills breakfasts< is as crazy as the title already suggests. lunatic stabs, kickin beats and funky peaktime action, you have never heart before

summer mega-ton-bomb – sure shot!! balearic is a word which few people really understand. it can mean whatever you want it to mean, but it has always been vaguely associated with ibiza, hippies, deep tropical dance music, and british football hooligans who grew hair, showered less, and became djs. but forget those 90s british for now, there that feels better! with this special release, which we have kept quarantined on its own tuning spork extra label, we are bringing you that balearic vibe with a deep and dubby 00s house music twist. and for us, this is the record of the summer. so prepare yourself for a massive collaboration project from the social beings. this is not some duo youve never heard of, in fact its label boss jay haze (fuckpony / bearback / krak street boyz) and his friend, modern day techno legend ricardo villalobos… one piece of information which is true, unlike those ones, is that haze and villalobos are now huge figures in the house and techno world. and they are indeed social beings

stomping disco house madness !! limited dj promos

archipel brings in two of its friends from uk, newcomer sozadams and moes ferry superstar croatian luka & lazo, for its fifth vinyl outing >tahiti excursion vol. 2< on which soz takes the a side and luka & lazo take the b side both bringing the dirty warehouse funk. soz starts things off with >broken thought< which is a thumping, sweaty late night floor mover which is sure to bend limbs in ways never witnessed before. >liars chair< is a slightly slower pusher which twists and melts along through corroded vocal snippets and dark polyrhythmic moments. luka & lazo take the same attitude of dark funk from sozs a side journey and shred it into a million pieces. >the safe< is a warmer tinged funk but still keeps things moving and grooving while >mood mode< jacks along and rips up a world of digital fabric. archipel keeps up the quality with ease and this is yet another piece of aural evidence to prove it

never change a winning team: tjark s first ep on karatemusik was played from djs all around the world! now he is back with 3 new tracks - essential tunes! incl. audiophile remix

zwei neue druckvolle tracks vom schweizer apoll (tongut) !! incl joachim spieth and novatek reworks

the next release for urban myth features two sides of electro boogie heaven from tugg with urban myths trademark rejuvenation of some classic disco joints. the system is already receiving great responses from dancefloors across the world. this 80s classic gets beefed up with some tough drums, and extra effects. on the flip we have another track that will sound familiar, but you aint never heard it like thiiiis! extra keys from urban myths own xavier zubercock trips this version out to make a fresh new mix that will be a welcome addition to all lovers of the original. both sides are also backed with sirens and jet planes that will become invaluable tools to all djs wanting to trick out their sets

>the dawn< is a moody, undulating cruiser of a track, which will subtly but surely make a dancefloor feel a sense of sunrise, whatever time of day or night. busy, clicky percussion sets the scene for a full-bodied, rising, almost trancey bassline to take control. t ups the intensity with real dancefloor nous and precision programming, layering distressed synth sounds and heavily treated keys atop each other while never losing sight of the tracks fierce ,fundamental groove. ‘the dawn’ builds and builds, by turns dropping out the percussion and the bassline, every departure and return a heads-down, hands-aloft dancefloor moment. the crisp snares and rich, melodic notes of delay add even more depth to what is already an essential tune. b-side >jam pot< is more playful, and driven by a classic physical bass melody - at once intimate and techy, dubby and dancefloor-urgent, gritty but optimistic. again, the attention to detail on the percussion takes this track to the next level, and jazzy keys provide an organic ontrast to the robotic blips and bleeps.

incl. a huge my my remix !! simon baker has been playing records for over 15 years now. being a true aficionado, his versatile and passionate dj sets are never bound to just one style. he is a firm believer of “if it’s good, play it”. his passion for deep electronic house and techno is further fortified by releases on his own imprint infant records. 2007 has been a brilliant year for simon so far, his fast-growing reputation is proven by current residencies at a number of uk’s acclaimed underground house nights including asylum & technique at the warehouse in leeds, and ddd at the key in london. apart from connaisseur, simon has recently been signed up to german top house label playhouse, and has also been picked by steve lawler as his worldwide support dj. for us, he opens his pandora’s box of production and delivers a masterpiece of current club music

sven dohse is back to knock you off your feet with two more magnificent tracks. crusher means to break your bones not with violence, but force-wise. this dry bassline just pretends to be tame – like the whole ensemble does in the beginning. but initial conditions change persistently until you awake twirling in a gloomy moment of house. so compulsive it stinks. so offhand it hurts. so self-evident it makes you wanna scream. way after midnight weaver uplifts out of a sentiment of infinity. warm layers of sound come floating above an abyss hardly indicated. time barely scratches the surface of this pocket epic telling you on and on again: tomorrow never comes

bryan jones returns to his own ringside imprint in good form. with him are newcomers j lettow and william alexander from lingo recordings fame. kicking off is make you move a pure funk bomb, complete with stellar piano and horn loops and those trademarked bryan jones drums that never fail. next up is vibe like tonight is the pick of the platter. building up with a tough as nails disco loop that drops into a delicious groove half way through. flip for hold tight a sinfully sleazy hip house jam already receiving massive support from the usual suspects. last is rub on the fat booty, another rap sample fiasco with a bumpy bassline, vocal bits and a very twisted vibe

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
