man-of-the-moment tiagos new project i-boat captain arrives on is it balearic..? recordings! >slower< is a beautifully smooth & laid back synth journey with added guitar melodies weaving a web of eastern influence while dipping its toes into subtly psychedelic waters. this is sunshine grooving at its best. the backwoods (dj kent) turn in a truly mesmerising remix. hypnotic and dreamy but with added 4/4 kick, this is mellow acid house done exceptionally well.

cesar merveille first joined the cadenza team in 2009 with the outstanding ep. descarga, produced alongside fellow artist pablo cahn and garnering high critique from industry and public alike. a well known and much loved figure within candenzas vagabundos ensemble and equally the international club circuit, it is with great pleasure that cadenza welcome cesar for his debut solo release on the label. maayancholy is a beautiful and heart wrenching record, showcasing the delicate and fiercely musical palette of the french producer. introducing with shimmering open cymbals. light and airy they rustle simultaneously and offer diversity via their multiple manipulation. unsettled and sporadic, they splash throughout the remainder of the piece in an ethereal manner, casting light over delicate steinway piano keys and stabbing muted chord sequences. argentinean artist guti composed the aforementioned piano, his jazz and pianist training clearly used to full degree on maayancholy with simplistic singular key arrangements and piercing chord sequences. as the ascending chords rise, they dance magically alongside the pitter patter of percussive drums in a stripped back and raw demeanour. maayancholy effortlessly lays bare the emotive side of merveille through this ambient and surprising track. luciano picks up the remix duty for with a 16 minute interpretation. as condensed cymbals and piano chords are electronically warped, urgency prevails and groove sets in, securing lucianos twisted version as the perfect companion for the simplistic original. pace quickened and intensity sharpened, luciano demonstrates the clear dance floor attributes within . maayancholy in an electronic reinterpretation fit for the floor

it would be very tough to dispute the phrases >good things come to those who wait< or >less is more< when talking about the impeccable standard of sebo ks productions over the years. looking back at the very first mobilee too hot, and other hit releases such as diva and spirits, as well as a collection of remixes on some of the most respected labels – he is given name in any serious house music collectors bag and now we have another wax to add! mr. duke is nothing short of a summer anthem…opening with a delicately constructed rhythm pattern that eventually makes way for beautiful synths that build and lift your hands in the air with them. it warms you up just as the sun does, re-appearing from behind a cloud and covering your body in its rays. summer and sebo k – the perfect combination.

following steffis debut long-player >yours & mine<, the story continues with three special remixes, each re-interpreting a key track, courtesy of staffan lindberg, lone and the analogue cops. swedish newcomer staffan lindberg, already promoter and dj on the malmö/stockholm scene, is a recent favourite of steffi for his tracky, fresh house sound. this hypnotic, rave- tinged mix of >yours< weaves an intricate tale for the dancefloor - nothing is rushed as the classic elements have so much room to shine in his fluid arrangement. recent r&s signing lone is becoming well known for his warbling strings, wandering melodies and glissening old school flavours. this remix is no exception and sees him work the chicago-vibed >arms< into a magical cosmic future-acid trip. berlin based duo the analogue cops aka marieu and lucretio have brought the house down many a time with their stomping live shows in the capitals clubs and warehouses. their pumping remix of >you own my mind< is tight, middly and uncompromising - a perfect example of the rough, tripped-out house vibe they live and breathe.

with u is the debut release by elusive producer holy other. following on from critically acclaimed records by balam acab, ooooo and how to dress well, with u is the fourth release on tri angle records. taking the alien kinetics of uk garage, the euphoric highs of vocal house and the slow, sensuality of r&b, holy other has created a sound that s as melancholy as it is beautiful, spectral and yet slightly at unease with itself. playing these five songs feels like a slow, solitary walk into the city night, lights flashing around you, muted where once they seemed to shine more brightly. with u was recorded in berlin, gothenburg and manchester, where holy other currently resides.

could spinner be days of being wild first ever french touch 12 inch? well not quite… although all producers involved here are french, this release rather shows how far away the french are from the famous touch that made them so popular more than 10 years ago!

after a well deserved winter pause, darek is back with a new vinyl edition, perfect for the start of the mild and sweet sunny days! this time, the swiss/argentinean label offers something smooth and fresh. sakro who is a young producer from mexico, delighted us with these deep house gems. for the vinyl, he produced two original tracks, one of them is featuring asylum. we are also very lucky to have sierra sam, marcus vector as well as the midnight perverts featuring gionny on board, for the remixes! but now, lets talk about the music…

deep space orchestra have been carving out a very nice name for themselves over the past year, and alongside the likes of cottam and krl it&#700,,,s safe to say that they are helping to establish an exciting new movement of raw, detroit-inspired house. the diy approach is very much a part of their ethic, as is the underground feel and aesthetic which imbues their own use of weapons label as well as their recent releases on similarly minded vinyl-orientated labels such as foto and kirk degiorgio&#700,,,s legendary art. the release we have here is perhaps their most refined music yet, showing a development in their production level on two tracks which are brimming with a warmth and fatness whilst retaining that critical raw edge which only a handful of the most exacting producers seem capable of. lo pan builds around a fat, bouncing bass line and a brilliantly lilting groove created by straight 808 hats and shuffling shakers. the feel keeps shifting throughout the song, sometimes superswung, sometimes straight and driving, all the while simple detroit strings build and analogue arps are layered up building the tension in the arrangemen

if you will permit me to get a little honors english on yall, classical scholar sir richard livingstone once stated that >our danger is not too few, but too many options ... to be puzzled by innumerable alternatives.< say what? well, take flo ridas predicament on new david guetta single where dem girls at: upon stepping into the club, so many fly females catch his eye simultaneously that he finds himself incapable of deciding where to begin. as hes struggling to resolve this deadlock over the veteran djs stark synths and four-on-the-floor percussion, an especially alluring specimen swoops in to make the decision for him - not only is she gonna kick it with him, but shell bring her equally fly friends along for the ride. playing the woman in question, young money heavy-hitter nicki minaj attacks the beat as only she can, dropping what may well be her most off-the-wall guest 16 since monster. so, readers, this dancefloor-scorcher + remixes on this vinyl will whet your appetite for more body-moving bangers, no doubt about that

jeremy glenns >new life ep< is filled will sun-drenched euphoria, it comes bearing soul, embraces jeremys natural pop sensibilities and celebrates the underground scene thats shaped him as a dj. the title track takes us down to the beach with its 90s pads and thumping bass line to hang out with mitch buchanan, >found a love< reminds us of a rare vintage cut that the revenge or jacques renault dig up (check that acid line!) while >overtime oozes of prince. alex barck of jazzanova also rolled out a cheeky feel good remix of new life. its sure to make you grab a partner, throw them into a twirl or two and play an air bass guitar. already jeremy glenn has shared the decks with james murphy, tensnake and andy butler as well as performing live alongside dam-funk, aeroplane, and alexander robotnick. check the video by dakota of >new life< and take in all 80s boobs, 90s muscle, yachts and tiger fades

sonicultures label boss expander kicks it with an ep that will rock the most demanding dance floors. oh yes, the sweet sound of techno fills our ears with joy as we listen to two original tracks and a remix from well-known producer tadeo. >the waggler< is a bass driven ride on a roller coaster of madness. nifty synths and processed sounds are combined and mixed in a progressive manner, leading to a journey where flows of energy go different ways. the moments are there. the music is powerful. as it should be. spains own techno master tadeo from cyclical tracks, delivers another approach to >the waggler<, making it more pumping and enhanced with a touch of retro and a combination of futuristic sounds. a great remix from one of the most talented producers in the current scene. with >the wiggler<, expander rides towards a more hypnotic direction, still fuelled by heavy basslines and analogue sounds. the synth arrangements are totally mental and there is a sweet touch of darkness to the composition that makes everything even more interesting. are you a waggler or a wiggler? the choice is your

etherical indie album with acoustic rock as wel as fat electronics on this coloured vinyl lp from eat concrete.

in the impressive flow of new talent in 2011 on fokuz recordings we already had the pleasure to present the sound of brother, command strange and intelligent manners among others. the next flavour of the funky liquid melting pot called fokuz recordings goes by the name donnie dubson. berlin based irishman donnie o sullivan aka donnie dubson started releasing his funky rollers on have a break and influenza media and already featured on fokuz on the chronicles of the deep lp together with stunna back in 2007. the grapefruit / battlecat release on influenza media in 2009 got him a lot of attention and is still heard in dj sets today. now its 2011 and fokuz presents the beautiful debut album of donnie dubson! his sound can be described as refreshing and original liquid drum n bass with a touch of the well known atmospheric drum n bass vibes from the mid 0s. his basslines are the unique sellingpoint as well as his ability to create an organic feel in the music thats only done by the few who truly understand what liquid drum n bass is all about. pleasuring both critical listeners and the dancefloor audience this album is a perfect overview of the sound fokuz stands for. a great example of how music can be time-less in this decade of fast moving consumer goods.

a joint venture with the mannheim label oslo records and their artists johnny d, ray okpara, nekes, christian burkhardt, roberto amormino, federico molinari, and makoto (nekes and tomio tremmels new project) resulted in a double vinyl, containing a choice selection of party hits as well as some deeper and more wayward house-tracks.

italian techno heavyweights markantonio and rino cerrone finally name their collaborative ventures after ten years of gigs and productions together, and the name is junction hands. revolution is back is the first full release under the junction hands moniker, following a well received outing as part of the recent the napoli connection ep on adam beyers drumcode and it sees the two veterans deliver some of their strongest work yet. the title track is a pacey number with a reverb soaked yet warm atmosphere which underpins an aggressive, simple and incredibly effective bass/drum loop which gains intensity throughout. sharp sounds puncture the groove here there which keeps things interesting but its the discordant stabs in the break which push things into overdrive. the equally hypnotic and driving thing for hands follows but manages to do so with an increased feeling of woozy menace. synths feedback on themselves to shattering crescendos before subsiding into waves of noise while the groove relentlessly works its magic. with junction hands theres yet another must-check name coming out of the neapolitan scene.

their debut three tracker ep has a theme running through it.. yup, its all about sides. first up is a riff you may well know from trevor horn and fgth. they take the tribe groove, slow it down and strip the groove back. using just the riff from the famous 80s monster hit they cunningly carve out >two sides< as their sultry opener. next up >by my side< enlists the help of the handily associated brass section. shuffling grooves, stabby horns and muted picked guitar are the order of the day. its a perfect one for those early dj-set appetizing sections. to round things off we tone it down even further with the beautiful >by my side<. subtle tones, lazy keys and a smouldering groove. when the keys kick in during the last minute its a glorius and sublime treat. stay tuned for more sides.

>beatbox< and >tunnel base< have been going down well in the clubs of late, with support from dj hype, grooverider, friction, crissy criss and drumsound to name a few ... get a slice of the action!

nice price deal !!! we are very proud to announce the debut release of a truly outstanding new musical project called >the goon show<. not much is known about this project, as the tracks reached us totally out of the blue, so to speak. the project consists of two experienced electronic wizards situated in berlin and is the first joint effort in the music world. their debut 12 inch features the wonderful and almost impossible to categorize track >angel band<, or as american music journalist philip sherburne put it:> the production on is really spongy and weird and enveloping, and the voice works so well with it, , this is really good, and i dont say that lightly!<. further admirers and supporters are the djs and producers osunlade, efdemin, adultnapper and many others. >angel band< comes in three versions, an acappella, a dub and the blasting original. as a bonus track, which is not just a b-side, but would be an amazing a-side on many other releases comes the beautifully melancholic >the grass<, of which our dear friend aksel schaufler aka superpitcher has said: >i love it and was in tears while listening to -the grass- !< . limited copies, get them while they re out there!

the debut release of swedish artist combo (he is half of s.u.m.o. which is well known as jazzy house artist in the beginning of 2000). probably some people know his excellent edit of robert hood >minus<. the title track of a side is modern beatdown house with the emotional piano loop sound. if you like the release of the revenge or mark e, you will like this song. b1 is an old school house version of the title track and >uptown< on b2 is early new york house sound.

parisian label my love is underground calls on the service of kool vibe, a veteran dj & clubber from paris. although now in his 40s, this is his debut release, but to hijack a well worn phrase, its been worth the wait. mr vibe has clearly spent many a night on discerning dancefloors, and the three tracks on offer here are produced with the steady hand of someone who knows their way around a house tune.

shadow ray is best known in house music circles as the co-producer of the oasis 1, 13, 13 1/2 and 14 releases with omar s, although he is also well known to the ryan correctional facility for more nefarious reasons. the detroit-based producer has spent the past four years at ryan earning not only a hard knocked life but a trade in sound engineering. that was until alex smith (aka omar s) made a presentation to the facility s parole board to commission a remix of his recent hit >heres your trance now dance< as part of rays work release program! rumour has it the parole board was inhabited by at least one old school house head, and we re delighted to see alexs idea come to fruition, with shadow ray really nailing it with this remix. staying true to original s shimmering melody, ray opts to bolster the bottom end with a raw bassline that creates a nice, fat rolling groove

last year, wayan raabe and arne shaffhausen had their debut on boxers >different< compilation with their downbeaty track >yummy—gorgeous<! and now, we proudly present their follow-up: with >yummy unbroken<, you will be irresistibly drawn on to the main dance-floor—this is the deluxe version of premium techno. both title track >vorsprung durch hektik< (engl. progress through stress) and >wasteland< offer an abundant vision of futuristic melancholy constantly in motion, yet at the same timeÊ smooth and well-balanced... like the perfect mix between neon colours and different shades of grey.

go disco! a call to all who fall in love with the song >sue is blue<. everything is focused on the slow, but swinging groove, including individual flashing fragments of the 20s. a dirty house music base drum pushes this track towards the dancefloor. the piece >offshore< takes you on a journey with its epic, modest and balanced mood, which turns out to be a dancefloor sensation. >teheran traffic< is speeding up the tempo. the b-side is determined by a powerful sound. just as the >far from here edit< by philipp wolgast works well in the club.

exploited serve an ace from consistent, a group of well known producers working under the cloak of anonymity. previously having released on frontroom and boe with remixes for tartelet and man recordings, consistents track >feeling high< dices vocals and disco vibes into a house heavyweight something like hot city meets soundhack, coming with certified anthem status. get involved for the polished berlin-meets-chicago modernism thatll get you sweaty as a taxi drivers neck in july. its difficult to say whether this is tech house or deep house, strictly speaking, but either way the title track bumps. it funks and, although were told it comes from berlin, its damned chicago. this is the 2nd single from consistent (remember aint no bump?) on exploited. early support by kink (rush hour), optimo (jd twitch), laurent garnier (f-com), dj t (get physical), dj hell (gigolo), erol alkan (phantasy), brodinski (turbo), feadz (ed banger), round table knights (made to play), ian pooley robert dietz (cecille), till von sein (suol), adam port (liebe*detail), lee jones (watergate), stuffa (trunkfunk), mosca (nightslugs), lazer sword (stonesthrow/numbers), pezzner (freerange/om), acidpauli (console/notwist), jamie anderson (artform)

a wave of unmistakable sound is currently blasting its way through clubs all around the globe.the release of his debut track >bed swing< pushed newcomer fabe into the eye of public attention and it is not surprising that the >bed swing ep< rocked dance floors of clubs like tresor (berlin) even before its official release. in addition to the original mix you will find a mesmerizing remix byholgi star (kiddaz.fm, micro.fon) & pierre deutschmann (plattform b, kiddaz.fm, k: lender) - the best mix for an audiophile firework. french sound artist super tape, who is well known for his club and party music just as much as for his home-suitable tracks, gives the >bed swing ep< a finishing touch.

the well known theme from tv receives a total dancefloor overhaul!

craft spells are back with their 2nd single. >after the moment< shows more of their penchant for hooks, sparkling production and whimsical melodies.

after 15 years of involvement in d&b, austrian promoter, dj, label boss and producer disaszt is about to step his already-illustrious career up a notch with the release of his debut album, >shadow & lightening<.
forthcoming on disaszts own label, the highly respected mainframe recordings, the album promises to be packed with the dancefloor-filling, filthy drum & bass sound for which austria and disaszt have become well known.
this single is the second of five from >shadow & lightening< and delivers two immense slices of filthy-yet-funky drum & bass that herald great things for the forthcoming album.

after the very well-received work >in g< borngräber & strüver have not been resting on their laurels but made >reise< (journey). they extended the concept of >21th century electro motoric kraut< on the new album >urlaub< and added their preference for disco music. like a friend of the label said: >reise – sounds like a composition for the 20th birthday of carl craigs planet e<. borngräber & strüver have consistently worked on developing their minimalist compositions without taking into consideration conventions. the nearly 17-minute >reise< that starts extremely held back, grows into a groovy trip you can hardly escape. >berlin tribal music< has a radically minimalist approach and a surprising break like a portal to a parallel dimension. the last part of the album >dancing queen< has nothing to do with abba. the piece is a missing link between electronic h-pop and groovy club sounds.

without a doubt it is one of the strongest pieces so far to come out of the mind of matt star. morphology, the title track is a trip that is leading us directly into the center of the dancefloor. it is characterized by its enormous dynamic, a deep & dirty roughness that comes up alongside an unstoppable kind of a mesmerizing groove - this one, for sure, is going to be loved by all fans of the usual suspects that are playing in the global champions league of modern high quality techno music. mttstr on the flip side seem to be building up a bit more subtle. both of them show matts talent for patiently modulating sounds creating almost extraterrestrial fluid grooves. both sides of the record are bringing an overall energy containing several well placed breakdowns and carefully crafted moments of high tension before matt is letting things kick back into full force again.
