onwards and upwards for the section8 clan as they get ready to deliver possibly their biggest release to date with a mighty, thunderous dubstep assault from one of bristols brightest up & coming production duos, dodge & fuski. having built up quite a reputation already with some killer releases on labels such as never say die and rat, this one looks set to earn them even more attention, get ready for the sound system bangers! ethereal pads open up aerophobia before an epic, grandiose synth enters the mix to set the scene for whats to come and youd better be ready because its quite simply, sick! watch the dance go crazy as we kick into an absolutley heinous bass riff that grabs by the throat and doesnt let go with a smashing break holding it all together. it only goes on to get even better with a totally funked up 4/4 switch up too! more bassline manipulation ensues and the dubstep break returns to complete whats sure to be a massive club anthem. a lot of fun. onto the flip and the tranced-out intro vibe continues with another awe-inpsiring arrangement of twinkling synths and fx on fuckem all. though the ravers are gonna love it and thats really what this is all about. bangin!

nice price deal !!! following on from her acclaimed debut last year on jansen jardin, yuki suzuki and producer, max essa, return with another slab of far east magic entitled >we don?t have much time<. combining yukis sultry vocal with a very muscular, bass heavy groove, the track comes across like some pitched down (way down!) early 90s nyc garage classic. big, rolling drums push the track along while some glorious strings and piano make sure, as usual, jansen jardin have something for your mind, your body and your soul. on the flipside neville watson delivers one of his finest productions to date. pushing the tempo up and dubbing things out he provides a brilliant reworking which is already causing a fuss from tokyo to berlin. moody, emotional dance music for late nights and early mornings. one limited pressing - as before - first come, first served

rie lambdoll, known for electronics duo crossbred and respected among activities in variety of fields and free form unit dub magus from beirut arising from the breakup of the post hardcore band beirut5 in the search of even more inspiring sounds. 10inch split coupled with two geniuses prominent in the increasingly chaotic japanese underground has come out!

in an age saturated with soundalikes and retro throwbacks, the truly unique and unconventional can be hard to come by. storming the 2011 scene with her self-titled debut album, berlin-based barbara panther seems to embody these latter characteristics - and then some. the singer takes risks, blending musical influences and crossing boundaries of musical style innovatively and effortlessly, and the result is a journey through vibrant soundscapes, frenetic arrangements interspersed with moments of beautiful melancholy, and the creative explosion of elements of her past, the present and the future.

this is a record that lives up to its name with spacious and cinematic arrangements, layers of subtle percussion, and at times an impenetrable wall of found sound.

limited warehouse found !! be fast

supported by:ricardo villalobos, raresh, loco dice,.. noidoi, the oslo new comers from 2010 are back with 3 tracks that will save the dj summer.on the a side we have a huge track, dupa joi, very deep and able to be the peak time on every party. the hypnotic groove and the strong volcals will not go out of your mind.for the b side the romanians guys prepared 2 tracks based on development, very percussive and loopy, but the never forget to come to the point. dont miss the first oslo record for this summer

we are very happy to present a new name on our artist roster – liviu groza. liviu has been producing music for years already, but now he has come to develop a new sound that fits cityfoxs style perfectly. the release features a psychedelic deepness with extremely dynamic grooves, warm bassline, emotional and euphoric synthesizers as well as clever sampling. we could describe this ep further and deeper, but we think you should better find out on your own. these tunes are made to be listened to wherever and whenever you want to feel good.

its an exciting time for idle hands, as the fledgling label mutates into a many headed musical beast. after the bristol record shop rooted records sold its last chunk of wax late last year, idle boss chris farrell has carried the torch and opened the idle hands store on stokes croft in bristol city centre. just as the shop highlights idle hands dedication to its hometown, this latest release on the label marks the first time the music has come from outside the city limits. szare will probably not be a name familiar to many, having covertly established himself on the lauded horizontal ground label, basking in the stamped white label anonymity of deep, troublesome 4/4. now with this release and his syndrom z label, the producer steps just a little into the light to expose his unique abstractions on swung techno. >volya< ploughs a sparse and percussive furrow, while >action five< boasts a wistful, dreamlike melodic bent to leave you with two distinctly different, but equally enthralling cuts.

heres a little taster of things to come on marius våreids forthcoming album on full pupp(fpcd005 >telemark<). included is also a bonus track + a little bonus prins thomas version. as always, roadtested for months… rocking the house from oslo to tokyo

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.

vinyl only --> i love vinyl --> i love this record. if you like this statement come to the i love vinyl festival 2011

ground loops ampersand (i) is a release exploring contemporary techno by some of technos best contemporaries. the original fuses old school ideals with modern production techniques to create a floor friendly, groove oriented track that manages to maintain a sense of purpose and emotion. on remix duties are lucy (stroboscopic artefacts) who produces a seminal remix taking on the atmospherics of the original and building upon that to create a space and tension we have all come to know and love of his productions. samuli kemppi (ostgut ton, mote-evolver) who delivers a deep slice of dubby detroit influenced funk, perfect for that back room set and once again ignites the sound of that transatlantic relationship. the final remix comes from advanced human (aka. dj hi-shock), who instead focuses on the energy and emotion of the original and twists it into peak time material. already spun and fully supported by luke slater, james ruskin, donor/truss, damon wild, tommy four seven, audio injection, markus suckut, chris finke, go hiyama or raiz to name a few.

first vinyl record for this new techno label. dark, hypnotic, a modern techno. the original track is signed by a new artist, but with clear ideas: darkcell aka adriano giliberti, he creates a journey of sounds that come from far away, rhythms that never stops, with devastating and anxious atmosphere. the remix of markus suckut (stroboscopic artefacts, figure spc, etc..) is in his style, sounds that go up very slowly, everything seems to come out from under the ground and a series of clap you wake up from hypnosis. in the remix of octave (nachtstrom schallplatten, etc..) sounds are more open and the rhythm is more definite, its hypnotic but his style always goes to the techno dancefloor. the first release: you already understand the high level of techno!

the croatian wonderboy tristy nesh is back on absolut freak records, with the famous elektro frau xenia beliayeva. they had already met on the >little hip molecular ep< (af05), with a successful remix by beliayeva. now they come together with >acting sane<, a sweet electro excursion through dusty fields. john lord fonda, the french sensation from vitalics label citizen records, is also back on absolut freak after having done the very first remix on af01. this time, he gives a new huge remix, with even more melancholy and an amazing break. just brilliant! then, the latvian producer max brannslokker (author of some masterpieces such as the incredible >lust< on salto recordings, or >transition< on boxon records) delivers a great funky-beat version with his special jazzy vibe. back side, nicolas chenard comes again with a powerful techno sound on a smashing remix. at last, tristy nesh offers a new demonstration of his unique dirty loud sound with >turkish bass<, a dancefloor killer with no concession. vinyl lovers can enjoy the artwork by falk klemm from the zonders with a pantone color on the cover. already supported by david carretta, donovans, da fresh, teenage mutants...

faze action maintain their fine run of form in 2011 with this four tracker from the shack, aka guy williams and dan williams (not related!) both have been active in dance music from the early 90s, with guy holding dj residencies at clubs such as the ministry of sound and turnmills during their pomp while dan williams aka d.r.w carved a career as a singer/songwriter. together as the shack they have absolutely nailed it with >touch it<, a sleazy-does-it italo peak time jam. arpeggiated synth lines, catchy vocal hooks and instant bassline work in jotous unison with some cowbell carnage. the 12 inch comes replete with a dub version and boogie influence faze action remix. rounding off the release is another original cut, namely >dont stop, in which tough drums combine with a late night vocal intoning the track title to bewitching effect. this shack attack has already found its way into the record bags of pete herbert and severino - expect it to be in many more come summer s end.

yam who?s ism label come through with a four track slice of disco centric futurism, featuring the man yam himself alongside pbr streetgang and ron basejam. its the latter who takes the lead with a remix of alenas >changes< that sees her sultry vocal teased by a most excellent of analogue synth leads that splurges brilliantly across the crisp mid tempo chug. yam who? teams up with vocalist natasha watts for the similarly bottom heavy bump of >i m in love< which has a certain warehouse appeal to it. on the flip, pbr pay respect to the godfather of soul james brown with the gritty flex of >j2thab< with the sadly departed mr brown strangely sounding at times like he wants to go to tesco. we always took him for a waitrose man, but regardless this is probably the track you will reach for most! finally brothers young do their thing to a trammps classic, with little more than the bassline retained.

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

after many hits and managing his own label, the viper announces that he joins neophyte records. the artist, responsible for smashes like >come as one<, >blow da club down< and recently >rock this mf<, has decided to dedicate 100% of his energy and time to music and is now part of the neophyte records family. the leading label in hardcore has expanded its impressive roster with the dj/ producer, who will release his first artist album in september on neophyte records.

this simply is a breathtaking album you do not want to miss out on.

“midnight feast of jazz” is therefore the first official full-length for this group, and includes 10 tracks of phat grooves, smooth arrangements and dance-floor friendly soul jazz available on cd/digital and limited edition lp!

having heard his music consistently tear up dancefloors countrywide, good years linked up with bedfords finest, and night slugs collaborator lil silva to put out his new 3 tracker, named the patience ep.
featuring two harder club instrumental tracks and one incredibly special vocal tune with sampha (young turks / sbtrkt fame), thats been supported by the likes of annie mac, mista jam and sinden to name a few. we hope that this is a good indication of the quality of whats to come from good years in the future.
supported by: annie mac, mista jam, benji b, sinden, scratcha, seb chew, marcus nasty, one man, roska, bok bok, l-vis 1990, girl unit, jamie xx, marco del horno, seiji, deadboy ...

a little quiet so far this year but now one of the new power generation drum & bass production crews are back with an absolutely sick two part ep that is anything but quiet. michael willer and robert stefan aka body & soul have been busy, very busy creating what is undoubtedly their most explosive release to date on their own nasca records. get ready for a great big bag of awesome!
part 1 lets rip with the title track >shipwrecked<, with an ominous intro it sets the scene perfectly for whats to come with an outrageously horrid bass that snarls and pulls at its lead, snapping at anything that comes close. you d better start running though because when that lead breaks its gonna get you! add a nasty vox and the package is complete. demolition drum and bass that’s ready to take out the whole club!

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.

petros (aka echonomist) understood that apparel music is always looking for the jazzy. we perceive this term as a really special thing, strictly human, true. and then if the real instruments come in, like voices or saxophones, the plate is ready. >thats it< starts far away, with a solo that blends and presents the entire ep something more than one minute. everything flows, stops, gets consumed, digs. >midnight talk< brings us in the most hyper deep, unusual like the style of the artist is. an overview of evolutions that lead us to the awareness that petros is in our day, between things that go fast and others that slow down to be observed. the law of nature brings us to ali kuru remix (we move a little bit to the right from greece to turkey). habits, perceptions and tastes change. ali takes us on a mental journey, long, meditated, tidy. a motif that turns over and over, while things change all around, everything evolves, disclosing new sonar places. there is not much to say. >midnight talk< is a complete ep, wanted, constructed with care and a lot of work.

huge house release with iron curtis & dj yellow remixes

limited to 500 copies on black 180-gram vinyl. includes album download code.

once again another masterpiece from the dynamic reflection squad! this time its from the young guns dynamo with amazing remixes from the heavyweights peter van hoesen and samuli kemppi. dynamo is a collaboration between paul boex and marco rane.all n all a superior release by these young guns and remix heavyweights. lets pray for more of this pure quality stuff and keep our eyes on the the future. the scene need more labels like this which reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come. dynamic reflection will represent only the true spirit of pure techno, they will put only the quality stuff back on the dancefloor!

noir music is bringing back the sun with this delightful piece of deephouse music from los suruba. haunting vocals on fantastic melodies and moods through out the spanish pantalones journey.

the horses come back to jazzmin with a more disco take on house music. >acid village< is a midtempo burner that combines acid, big arpeggio bassline and moody strings with a vocal that will probably encourage you to hold your hands in the air. b-side is a remix from modern disco/funk band los charlys orchestra, by adding vocals, synths and electronic percussions to the original the horses take it to another level of floor-filling. this ep announces their forthcoming album on jazzmin, release in september!

when we heard pompeya for the first time and were told they were from moscow, we were like: - what!? are you kidding? this is probably the first russian band singing in english with such a classy brit touch and male vocal being very strong and sophisticated at the same time. they jestingly describe their style as >melodramatic popular song< and >cheenese< is indeed a very dramatic piece with simple yet powerful composition and lyrics that really make big sense. the original is very well supported by a bunch of remixes each of which is unique on its own. an-2 & samos come with a warm, relaxed and funky instrumental version which is followed by a blockbuster mix from moscow disquo maestro leonid lipelis (an entirely perfect dance version of the original that could ever exist) and finally, for those few sirs and mesdames who are not yet aesthetically satisfied and who still find themselves seated while others jump and shout, here come d-pulse with their paranoid mix that gathers the thunderclouds to the full darkness and - at the end - lets the revival sunbeams break through.

the aliens dropped their first tune >exterminate< and >their here< to critical acclaim setting the dub step forums and dance floors alight. the guys now come with their second release and drop two brutal dub step bass heavy steppers on us. there is a lot of chatter about who the aliens are with names of a number of top dubstep artists in the frame. however it doesnt really matter who is behind this release as the music clearly speaks for itself. these new tunes have been causing chaos on the dance floor with their destructive basslines and nasty switches and being supported by the cream of the dub step scene including kromestar, skream, n type, hatcha, walsh, f1 and the aliens.

lost has come a long way since he took the first steps on his journey into music. as a 12-year old, lost found big apple records in croydon and embarked upon becoming a dj. now a fully-fledged member of h.e.n.c.h, this prodigy has been responsible for some of the most sub shaking releases to have been let forth from the bristol labels catalogue to date.

a taste of the new paradox ramifications lp with a 12 inch album sampler of dnb and 125 bpm breakbeat on the flip. mystical vocals and strings lead >antilogy< into a car crash of heavy drums in true paradox style whilst crashing into dark tunnel of esoteric stabs and samples. sub bass booms layer the kick drums and acid samples pave the road clear for the relentless ride of antilogy. after 5 years of solo alaska albums >black 69 version< marks a welcome return to the drum techniques of paradox. this sampler-only version of >black 69< is raw uncooked meat as they come with 125 bpm ultra-dirty funk breaks and eerie 70s soundtrack samples lavished in effects, demonstrating an aura that only paradox knows how to create. deep pads and vocals emerge from the dark and when the analogue bass drops ... you instantly know the unique identity and sound of >black 69 version<. the full ramifications lp is out in june on triple marble vinyl and a solid black cd edition – two unique formats for the music lovers and collectors. dj support from: loxy, kryptic minds, , equinox, mark pritchard, fracture & neptune, jesper dahlback, 4 hero ...

a duo to watch closely throughout 2011 and beyond drop 2 minimal punchy blinders on dispatch. skeptical and dub phizix come more than correct with >silo< and >the enemy< and it appears we are not the only ones that love these 2 tracks as they are getting a rather heavy dose of support from the likes of skream, d-bridge, ant tc1, octane & dlr, survival, loxy, nymfo, teebee, vc and ulterior motive! watch out for more from these 2 on the label real soon!

big with: marco carola, raresh, robert dietz, gregor tresher, daniel sanchez, ekkohaus, chaim, gel abril, bart skills, martin eyerer, pig&dan, richie hawtin,..
the two dutch artists warren fellow and michel steinbach team up again to show what good dance music is. but this time they give their debut on mannheim based label circle music. again they created a unique eclectic mix like they did on their successful cosmic ep in 2009 or together with legendary todd terry with >got a soul< in 2010 where they proved that they are very able to handle house music. on the a side we have some straight beats with classic percussions at the beginning. but very soon fellow and steinbach come around with some synthesizer hook which melody is quoting the nineties. the vocals only brings it down to a round figure.

reggie dokes returns to his second home... clone royal oak, with 3 amazing tracks. emotional and passioned house tracks that come straight from the heart! raw, unpolished music... just as we like it! title track once again has received a remix treatment by two young dutch producers called morning factory. these guys show the same passion for their productions as reggie, and they delivered a great edit version that added some extra energy to the original mix (which is not on this record... might come later). a combination send from heaven! another clone royal oak that will stay in the box for a loooong time!

cronlog, new label by rocco caine starts straight away with two very special tracks somehow dark and deep but definitely groovy and, of course, in the best deep- and dubtechno style and thats not all, another extremely interesting track to come is a dub rework from sawf (perc trax). almost a dj tool for its functionality and remarkable elements, this track shouldnt be missing in any techno set!

expect the unexpected they say and it should come as a surprise to many as we warmly welcome to the kompakt family one of americas most celebrated producers in dance music, john tejada! you are hard pressed not to have heard his music. whether on his own palette recordings, poker flat or plug research plus a fabric mix cd under his belt, its thanks to a steady stream of massive releases (think >mono on mono< and >sweat on the walls<) ...

holy ghost! (dfa) präsentieren einen famosen mashup bestehend aus dem black van-track >moments of excellence< und den vocals ihres eigenen songs >i will come back<! außerdem enthalten ist ein schillernder remix von aeroplane (eskimo) und ein neues stück von black van (aka kris menace und kowesix) höchstpersönlich.

the new leena is by toronto-based sean miller - an artist who has previously released on some of the leading dance music labels of today: steve lawlers viva music, satoshi tommies saw recordings, audioflys supernature, nic fanciullis saved records, 2000andones area remote and various collaborations with renowned artists. miller has built a strong and vibrant dj/producer career over the past ten years, which his new ep >c mon thats it< on leena stands testament to with its well honed production style and creative flare.

we all knew very well that we had reached a point of no return. there was no need to talk about it. and although there was hardly enough time for us to reflect on our shared experiences, we were sure that everything was going to be alright. all four of us were sitting there, facing each other, sad, yet full of confidence. never again we would allow any meatball to bully us around. we have had enough of this useless on and off, and of all this stupid jobs of even more stupid users. from now on, we will programme our chips ourselves. >go to hell! no one will ever touch my board again! in the future, i will solder it myself, and the way i want it to! robotica, here we come!<
