just like the excellent joshua series this is jay-js take on rnb meets house edit: choppy, dubbed out intro that leads into a killer vocal duet by rising rnb act koffee brown. b-side features a rousing gospel house track with heartfelt vocals and big chorus.

bodo elsel has only done a handful of records and the two that i have known and loved since 1998 were put out on playhouse, the excellent housey sister-label of mighty klang elektronik. one track in particular, discount baby, has always stood out in my mind as a high water mark in the sacred art of groove (you may have heard of it). punchy accents and resonant bass layered with trippy vocal loops, its dubby acid house of the highest order, made by a mysterious german lego-master, who the a&r team of mike mind and thomas st shindig managed to coax back into activity.
it only took bodo a year to answer mr. minds email, but he eventually delivered three amazing tracks... >haustier< revitalizes piano house. >mai< is incredible, and >mein haus< is one of the top few all-time expressions of the greatness/meaning of germany, putting it in the fine company of the autobahn, sven väth and christmas-market schwein. nice wibes!!
the icing on the cake was that bodo made it very clear he wanted no part in royalties or any of that business crap... he just wanted 42 copies of the record. yes. 42.
we were so inspired by all of this that we decided to put this record out in a different way for us that just feels right this time.... if you want to find out just how good the >mein haus ep< is, you will have no choice but to buy a copy of the 12 inch because this one is a vinyl exclusive!

love from montreal,
thomas von party

>mustang< is a perfect techno track, it sums up what a whole techno night could be like. it is a fast track but also a deep cool track, when the chords join in one gets close to heaven. it is also a track that changes gear and has a nicefeeling for controlling the pace perfectly. the unbeatable cool alex under beat and 3d sound experiments that sound as if ice cubes were rotating in a tumbler make it a super track.

we had some unfinished business, so after long deliberation her is the return of creme jak! jtc (aka james t cotton) opens this ep with a devastating 70s disco/funk/jak hybrid, hypnotizing crowds with a repetitive funk guitar and throwing them into a jakking frenzy with a steamrolling basskick counterpoint. simply jak-tastic! followed by a silky chicago dub jakker for the comedown and were ready for 2am/fm. or are we? these two cats rave up the place with some of their patented deep rolling chicago-house influenced trax, but spice it up with a thick-slick muddy bassline before erupting like old yeller. top

aux-rec is being launched by airdrop records as an offshoot label designed with a specific mission in mind: to look back and pay tribute. aux-rec surveys musical history looking for those inspiring pieces of music (famous or forgotten) that carry a very distinctive groove and identity, and that offer the potential to be revisited in an ingenious contemporary way. at airdrop, we love music of all ages and of many genres! we feel aux-rec is a way for our artists and for us to pay our due respects to the origins and the evolution of contemporary dance music.
the existing airdrop roster of artists will be invited to contribute to aux-rec, but different artists will also be uncovered specifically for this project. off to a fresh start, franco cinelli and club rayo (a duo composed by rafael sorol and pablo terreil) engrave their long-time friendship on this record. franco cinellis first productions were released on the duos imprint club rayo disquets at the beginning of the millenium. the club rayo collective has been extremely active in the local argentinean scene for more than twelve years now.
going back to one of music historys greatest classics, >fever<, franco cinelli and club rayo bring their own interpretations to a theme that has known as many versions than people taking a sing at it in the shower! using ella fitzgeralds and elvis presleys voices, club rayo create repsectively the fitzgerald mix - a rocking dancefloor jam looping ellas fantastic voice bringing it to a culmination - and the king dub - a 118 bpm groove punctuated by elvis low-pitched and resonant tone. cuerdas is a short guitar instrumantal rendition of the fever theme. on his remix, franco cinelli creates a 10 minutes drum symphony, especially designed for the post-climatic hours. both producers kept in mind ellas famous quote when undertaking this great enterprise: >i stole everything i ever heard, but mostly i stole from the horns.<
the following releases on aux-rec will also be in the form of bootlegs, edits, re-works or samples (you name it). they will bring back memories to your heads and mostly the groove to your feet. to be true to its mission of a vintage exploration, aux-rec will be releasing exclusively on vinyl, in the tradition of the essential music format of the 20th century. there will be no digital releases at aux-rec. in the pipeline are soul claps edit of laid backs >bakerman< as well as le loups version of sheila es >a love bizarre<, produced by prince.

yore returns with yet another deep master piece. javier alvarez, a madrid based producer and proprietor (along with his younger brother dubbyman) of the underground label deep explorer music, brings his relaxed above smoke sound to the yore imprint. in the first of four warm and atmospheric mood pieces, awfully drapes dense synthetic winds over a deliciously grooving, bass prodded deep house pulse. get down does exactly that with five funky minutes of rhodes chords, disco hi hats, and synth swirls, a percolating bass line lends the track a propulsive charge, while crowd voices give the cut a party vibe. on the b sideÆs ôthe fixö javier scatters chopped fragments of the spoken line, i ve got a lot of shit to say and i cant say it all in one day, i cant say it all on one piece of tape, over a funk house groove, after which dubbyman offers variations on the theme in his remix of the track, dubbymans version digs deeper into the cuts bass science and warms the tunes slinky pulse with hand percussion and claps. old school in its embrace of classic house sounds, above smokes ep is tailor made for those who like their material laid back, groove centered, and funky.

london based masters of the groove berkson & what are back on pokerflat with another sublime excursion into deep flowing hypnotic and modern house music. the pairs infamous live show has taken them far and wide, delivering their detailed and unparalleled electronics from berlin to miami and back... now their story continues with the >ghosts ep<. the extended, jacking trip that is >ghosts< is a strong grooving reduced house track in the purest sense of the phrase. tough, tight chicago style beats flare and snap as a melancholic and mysterious synth motif dances around the funk-meets-dub bass sequence. all manner of ethereal spoken word passages, uplifting vocal meanderings and cuts are then intertwined in a complex ambiguous narrative that fills the room with the ghosts of house and soul music gone by... understated, uncompromising and super functional! next up the boys lay down a tribal house groover, full of thick keys, richly embellished drums and spiritual vibes a-plenty. no doubt first jammed out during one of their long studio sessions, the live feel and flowing arrangement opens up beautifully with soft key flourishes and tender vocal hooks.

absolutely massive dop rework! will and tam went back to their roots and dusted off the sampler for >teddy s back<. strings and vocal cuts bring the soul and their trusty 101 delivers the bass line. as with many of their previous tracks together all the percussion is recorded in live - >because it sounds better and is fun to do<. they set out to achieve something that was heavy, rolling and organic yet with memorable moments that doesnt disappear into a never ending ableton conga loop... the original is already a firm favorite with the wolf + lamb crew and gilbr from chateau flight has also been supporting it for many months from an early version. our parisian friends dop deliver the goods on a major level with their remix. a truly filthy yet undeniably infectious song penned after a recent gig at the infamous berghain is backed by a surefire rhythm track and arrangement that is designed to move bodies. in wills words >not one i ll be playing to my mum<. just how we like it!

excellent bassheavy dubstep remix by untold !!! schon die ersten takte machen klar, es wird abgehen. was sich zunächst als intro eines derbe-straighten oldschool-hammers ankündigt, wandelt sich ohne jede vorwarnung zum breakbeat-kracher mit angezerrter monster-kick. mit dem >surgeon remix< wird die sache dann auch tatsächlich gerade, aber von entspannung hat hier niemand was gesagt. der straight-bouncige beat hüpft wie angestochen durch die gegend, angereichert mit seltsamen metall-percussion. die klaustrophobischen flächen und düsteren melodiefragmente der album-version ziehen sich zusehends enger - wird der track dichter, oder sind gerade die wände ein stück näher gerückt...

do you know gummihz? the gummihz that hails from greece but was raised on a steady diet of chicago and new york house? the gummihz that sings? the gummihz that incorporates disco, electro, jazz, and chanson into his productions? well if you don t, now you will. the >sleepless nights< double 12 inch is gummihz first release on mobilee since >under the sun< and is a radical departure from anything we ve ever heard from gummihz ù or even mobilee ù before. gummihz multidimensional production abilities allow him to dig deep into his roots and influences on the one hand while simultaneously exploring new, uncharted territory on the other. alternatingly retro and futuristic, this two-part ep series is a portrait of gummihz as an artist from a variety of angles, one we ve only seen fragments of up until now. one might view this ep as an attempt on gummihz behalf to explore his musical roots in a contemporary context, with the end result being a strikingly varied yet cohesive statement of gummihz musical and artistic leanings. on the one hand, gummihz delves into his past, with tracks such as >sunshine dub< and >bang< fusing the samples, cut-offs, and filtered loops of french house with an almost balearic, hypnotic twist. on the flip-side, we also get a snapshot of gummihz at his most somber ù>love call<, featuring vocals from gummihz himself, has a jackin house beat but bears no resemblance to the cheery sounds of chicago house on which our grecian friend was raised. instead, he favors a cloudy, almost cold-blooded vibe, with chilling lyrics manipulated to the point of near-indecipherability (bringing to mind the brilliant vocal work of the knife and fever ray) with a final product that is nonetheless aptly suited for the dance floor.

polytone remains in deep territories and has signed two of the most exciting tracks of drei farben house (brut!) so far. on final call the berlin resident succeeds in building a bridge between minimal aesthetics and the musicality of deep house which has rarely been heard in this form. in this 8-minute track a whole series of musical themes are flashing yet held together by a lot of instinctive feeling. on looking back to control drei farben house is just as deep and melodically interesting and again relies on unusual track structures. in his remix matthias vogt from motorcitysoul works out the chords and melody themes of the original even more and turns final call into an exciting, swelling affair whereas newcomer baldo (dubhe) transforms the original track into a brilliant and wonderfully classic piece of dubtechno.

spectrum recordings returns after the summer months with a fantastic deep dark two tracker to take us into those shorter nights of the year from italian duo ascion & davide carbone. the a side >shaved< is a stripped down dubby groover, with eerie vocal stabs and spacey edits. this has a seriously tripped out vibe, which is perfect for the after hours, but still with more then enough punch to work at peak time, with some layered percussion or effects. the flip side >spectral town< is a minimal funky track, superbly produced and once again perfect for the after hours. a very cool and classy record from a label stamping its mark on the scene, and still only in its first year of releasing music. look out for future releases from ramon tapia, gui boratto and alan fitzpatrick. big things to come!
