scaring us all the way from sofia, bulgeria spatula city is proud to present to you the technologically advanced technique of the one like the kink. snapping off his first spatula city release with three dancefloor scorchers, this record is not to be missed. jigga is just a straight up bassline balancing act that just drives. on dat funk and check he collaborates with eclectic vocal stylings of austin, txs j.a.m.o.n. both tunes are jump up flex on the floor devastators. kinks techy vibe and robotlike control over j.a.m.o.n.s vocals creates a sound unlike any other artist in the scene. his tech savvy jack infused style cannot be compared to. just when you think one of these tunes is going off the deep end, it turns around and jacks you right in the face! and...just for funks we had kink add two accapella tools which are super easy to mix and sound great over any jackin beats.

great second release on the exciting par tay imprint brings together another collection of top notch dancefloor friendly re edits. kicking off with low down dirty, which sees this patrick cowley production rearranged and stretched out into a awesome low slung sleazy disco groover. next up is thank you for funkin me, a super funky par tay cut and finally a superb extended edit of black bloods 1975 afro disco obscurity a.i.e. a mwana, an awesome track sung in swahili, and later covered by english pop act bananarama. essential!!!

banging techno tunes by masterminds of this genre andreas kremer, ganez & marco woods, a.paul & industrialyzer, michael wenz

whether it is early december or late august, gel abril keeps it hot or cool - depending on which side of the equator youre on - with an exceptional 12inch of synth soaked, bleep saturated and tech drenched house. all exclusively produced by the talented shlomi aber in their hometown of tel aviv, israel. collectively they have released on josh winks ovum rec as well as their own acclaimed be as one imprint. eerie sounds meshed with techno chirps are trademark elements of the be as one crew sound, but it is the dramatic synth chord breakdowns and perfectly plump and rounded kick drum that stand out in this outing. so plump and juicy in fact, one can almost get lost in >miranda< through the rhythmic thudding of the pristine bass drum. suddenly a parade of jumbled synth snippets frolic and bobble around like umpa lumpas randomly jumping on a trampoline. think this track is all fun and games? play this peak time and watch the crowd do the >tel aviv shuffle<. don t know what that is? watch it appear before your eyes as the hypnotic sound washes over the ears of the captivated crowd

incl. rmxs by reboot & alexi delano!! big support by... onur Özer, barem, karotte, tobi neumann, laurent garnier, mathias kaden, wighnomy brothers, einzelkind, markus fix, robert dietz, seph, nick curly, toni rios, tony rohr, dorian paic, vera, matt star, motorcitysoul and many more.... frankfurt is definitively the capital of a new house movement and has produced several artists in the recent past who have closed the gap between house and minimal. the newest discovery of the main metropolis is the 24-year old producer timos who dares exactly this balancing act with his debut single >vendor<. vendor which more or less translates as market stall crier is based on a solid bass line over which lie several deep chords. the peak of the track is formed by the harmonic interplay between a vocal sample, which reminds you of a mediterranean market, and almost hypnotising strings

limited to 300 copies!! dj support by john daly, woolfy, donato dozzy, lory d, francois kevorkian, loco dice and many, many others!! mastering : d&m, berlin! excecutive producer: claudio fabrianesi

including remixes by dimitri vegas & like mike and tim berg

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythings that sounds fine to their ears! for our 11th release , we decided to bring you guys a brand new track from the italo master of all time: the fantastic beppe loda under the name italowerk. honestly, we were not expecting anything, as he did so much for electronic music already for the past 20 years, resident at the legendary typhoon club in italy (brescia), playing a huge amount of electronic underground tracks that are praised today by clubbers & vinyl fetishists, he created also what we called today afro cosmic. we could sum up his new project just by its name italowerk = kraftwerk meets underground italo. the first track is called sognando that we could translate by dreaming. indeed, this is a very powerfull track, that sounds almost like an italo lost gem (circa 1982) but with an incredible modern feeling, full of crazy electro synths, arpeggios and a terrible kick: an athem!

support by dave clarke, cari lekebusch, laurent garnier, john selway, anderson noise, bryan zentz,.. actually joey beltram needs no introduction. he is one of the leading international techno heads for a decade who characterized the music with his voluminous tracks that included razorsharp melodic elements. born in 1971 in queens, new york, he started djing at the age of 13 in 1983. since releasing own tracks in 1989 the triumphal procession of his music was sealed. since then he released on labels like transmat, trax, tresor, warp and more. his remix for adam beyers >swedish silver< burned the floors, the releases on r&s are legendary and we are looking forward to the first mix compilation >lost in new york< on harthouse.

now its massis time to put some funk on the wax, the fresh sound of the neapolitan artist gets more groovy and housey in the three tracks included in this new release which already got big support and great feedback from the likes of marco carola, troy pierce, adam beyer, nic fanciulli, alexi delano, karotte, brothers vibe, monika kruse, davide squillace, to name a few

advanced underwater electronics by dj stingray. known for his collaborations with drexciya (as the official drexciyan dj), and also know for his works with carl craig (on retroactive and planet e as urban tribe) and his collabs with old time friends moodymann and more of the detroit house producers. this is some deep almost industrial electro techno from the motor city and stingray presents another double pack (after his release on richard james rephlex label recently) with some raw, no nonsens dark shit from a dark (and some say doomed) city!!

classic alert! highly sought after 12inch reissue. everyone knows this for track b3 - why d you fall although all tracks are killer on this limited 12 inch of remixes from lil louis. this record got lost at the time due to format overload on the main release. reissue comes in high quality mastered sound / original label / polylined bags / shrink wrapped !!

todd bodine demonstrates with this ep once again extraordenary taste and skills. after a very successfull excursion on claude van strokes mothership label and his activities as a heavily booked live-act and dj he presents on >unexpected life-form< two brilliant tracks, that seem to burst with their energy. todd bodine apparently has gained a lot of experience how to bunch the impact on both the dancefloor and the musical side and how to turn the result into a wall of sound. and hes doing it by following his own unique style. on the a-side >calypso< captivates you right after a few seconds with its pulsating sequences and a subtle growing energy-level from break to break. developing a drive which wont miss its impact on any floor. >snakeskin< on the flip is homogeneously build around shimmering melody-sequences which create the energy of this track, while the bassline below pulsates warm and deep. sounds like: detroit without kitsch. or like a cross between matthew johnson, robert hood and fabrice lig. to put it in other words: a typical todd bodine release in the best sense. allready a true highlight in the highgradecatalogue in 20

loved by dj mehdi (ed banger), dave p (satelite of love), brodinski (turbo, mental groove)... the rapture haben dances with white girls als ersten act auf ihren neuen label throne of blood genommen. die kombinierte wucht aus pfundigen, darken beats und eingängingen oldschool house sorgt für richtig stimmung in der bude

unreleased disco soul from new orleans band, a side is a short but sweet single that pairs the soul disco styling of earth, wind, & fire with the cool crooning of bill withers. there must be an answer is somber ballad lamenting lost love. this dramatic track is characterized by its dark piano lines and is accentuated by post doo wop vocals reminiscent of the temptations.

1980 debut album by irish no1 rock act!! special 180g remastered vinyl release!

slap - one of the most obscure and forward thinking acts from the early 80s meets the spearhead of today’s electronic music, ricardo villalobos. the originals are disturbingly brilliant electronic excursions, while villalobos’ jazz-fueled rework is one of the deepest mixes he has ever done. vivid drums are built around a driving bassline, aiming the track right at the floor. not to mention the rough claps! imagine miles davis’ “bitches brew” joined by throbbing gristle, playing “minimal techno” live. earlier this year macro unearthed namlook’s long lost “subharmonic atoms” featuring outstanding pépé bradock remixes. this continuation of the “prototypes” series is none less of a dream team. slap’s experimentalism just seems to be the right inspiration for ricardo villalobos, who takes it to a level of weirdness only he can achieve while retaining such danceability. essential!

dc10 anthem !! plays by dubfire, paco osuna, matthew dear !!

fresh fish presents an ep which is so far that you don t even notice how close it is. colombian paulo olarte is coming with a 4 tracker piece of vinyl to make you dance and and get you in touch with deep love. passion in the midpoint this beats and pads are gonna make you sweat. hypnotizing tracks of the latenight excursion class, featuring layers on layers to create a carpet of sound that slowly gets your mind to upper levels from which it s difficult to come back. the vocals let us imeditly think of “love on the street” and “solo tu” (including isoleé remix), last one raised quite a storm and was played in every afterhour all over the globe and appeared on many compilations like sven väths ibiza mix cd “the sound of the 8th season” or dinky’s “get lost” mix. so romantic has never left the hamburg label and it seems that it is here to stay. “tan lejos tan cerca” what else can we say

transmitting from the heart of the american midwest, skoozbot has rapidly gained a reputation for insightful techno futurism. his main preoccupation focuses on the interaction between humans and technology, especially the ability to capture split second emotions, recreate them using electronic sounds and then play them out over a six minute track, letting them evolve naturally albeit in sometimes unexpected directions. the rising sap contains a selection of tracks written during the transition from winter to spring as life returns to the surface of the planet bringing with it the most vibrant sensory experiences. in a sense these colours, fragrances and forms allow us to transcend time through memories and association and skoozbot is driven to capture these precious fragments and examine them from all angles in the suspended animation that the minimal techno environment so perfectly creates.

this brand new and long awaited follow up 12-inch single release by off the record is finally here! its been quite a while since their first release >robot gang ep< (sen-003) came out and took the dancefloors by storm. all the wait has been well worth though, as this talented duo is back on track with their trademark rough & raw drum sounds, killer breaks and bridges. such elements can be found directly from the starting track >tel aviv – japan<, which combines nicely minimalist techno / house sound architexture with simple, yet effective groove, and it grows humble and slowly to reach up its peak moment what goes like: splash! in ya face! there you have it! guaranteed to lighten up any dancefloors, it s dangerously explosive and has amazing flavour on the rocks! having said that, on demand producer and remixer ran shani (crosstown rebels, breastfed, cr2 records) was kind enough to contribute his absolutely fabulous and fantastic remix work of >in your mind< track. he pushed the track to the next level and came up with a truly club oriented pulsating dance track with extra crispy and tasty beats. rotating 360 degrees panorama effect on female vocals coming in as the track rolls further right after the break is surely enough to explode some minds on the dancefloors. watch this man out! perfect end to an extended play here is the only track offering a mini lovestory: >shes lost her mind> is a true and cold hearted, crucial story about a tech savvy clubgirl falling in love in a binary world full of zeros and ones, finding computers and turin machines sexually more attractive companions to better have fun with rather than getting accustomed to that old fashioned missionary position carried out by her human boyfriend. floating, dubby and rather melancholic, but definitely not a sad song! but one thing is for sure regarding that twisted story after all: someone has truly lost her mind somewhere along the way …
