aeroplane undertook the 500th >essential mix< at the end of april on radio 1 and previewed the title track of their forthcoming longplayer and first single >we cant fly< for the first time.

anyone who ever has listened to a live performance or a record of illeist collective knows of the difficulty to describe the sound they come up with. some say its big beat, some say its rock, electro or dance music. and as always, the truth is somewhere in between, somewhere along the lines of bands such as soulwax, digitalism or friendly fire. and the best way to find out is to listen to their energy-loaded, genre transcending and - most importantly - uncompromising music.

a few times a year, a label releases a single that rocks the industry and the upcoming release from hidden recordings does just that. gregory shiff, who has also released off of such high caliber labels as stewart walkers persona label in berlin, produced the original and the label enlisted techno luminaries adultnapper, tony rohr and pheek, along with deepak sharma and dieter krause to add remixes to put together a five track monster that will, and should be in the crates of djs around the world for the rest of this year and beyond. the best part about the release? the remixers brought their a-game and put forth effort that has helped make them some of technos most revered producers and artists. simply put, all five tracks rock and will pound the dancefloor

detroits eric johnston who has already brought archipel a remix of marc neyen and an ep on kalimari now brings us a superb four track 12 inch entitled >silly girl<. this whole package is a highly rhythmic affair which while darkly tinted remains very funky. >stop calling me< is the most percussion oriented of the pieces and instantly sucks you into its very well thought out labyrinth of sky high rhythms which are layered just so and double dipped in liquid funk while >labrador< strips things down a little more and wraps you in blankets of warm and rubbery groove. >worth it< carries on with the perfect shuffle and utilizes a wonderful blend of warmth and funk which take hold of your mind and feet with an unrelenting grip while it ebbs and flows, building a heated story as it progresses. >munted< could be three pieces in and of itself but blends them all expertly into one single solid storyline which takes you through mazes of juicy percussion and excellently placed, darkly hued, very deep chords.

matt moroder - one half of the team that brought you the short-lived but no less notorious glossy series - unearthes his new ambitious -little leaf- project compiling other producers and his own reworks of songs that are not your usual disco/ boogie fare but demand a true diggers and imaginative djs mind to spot their dancefloor potential. matt moroder proves this ability right away with the blinding, hypnotizing >secret secret< - an interpretation of a cut by one the biggest, most avantgardistic 70s rock/ pop icons. he extends a short portion of the originals beat, loops the jagged guitar riff and throws in more layers of congas, shaker, handclaps etc before revealing the tracks secret by throwing in parts of the chorus sung by this totally distinctive, instantly recognizable voice. flip over for spanish producer nelues take on >porque te vas< - a one hit wonder song that had worldwide success after being the main theme in carlos saura cannes-winning movie >cria cuervos<. already an unusual mixture in its original form - breathy lolitaesque vocals gel ingeniously with a more 60s bubblegum orchestration of horns, big beats and folky guitar - nelue does a great job with sublte loops and additional bubbly synth overdubs while keeping the sing-a-long charm intact. both tracks already recieve well-desereved support from mark-e, gilb-r ( chateau flight ), beppe loda, tim sweeney and more main players. these two big cuts shouldnt need extra arguments, but since mr moroder is a generous guy he also throws in some extra special, lush artwork for this vinyl only release
