dj-support by adam beyer, alexi delano, paco osuna!! on his 2nd ep on aesthetik brian james shows his true colours. dark, deep and stripped down techno with a solid old school, almost chicago-esque feel to it. rubber doll instantly grabs you through its simplicity and efficiency. pulsating beats, a mental bassline with a slight bleepy feel to it. a true techno dj s delight. madrid s techno maestro xpansul turns rubber doll into a harder edged techno stomper. edgy technoid sounds and xpansul s trademark dark rhythmic craziness makes this track essential to any self-respecting techno jock! panic in detroit is again a typical brian james throbbing techno piece for when dancefloors go into >mental mode<. bubbling custard takes a more experimental direction, reminiscent of early dark model 500 tracks, but jacked up in brian s very own wickedness.

for the third time adam proll has released a 12 for cocoon recordings. and just like in the two predecessors, >hummel< and >adamantido<, the native pole is at the pulse of time and, with >flight 407<, creates a beautiful and dreamy summer tech house track, which seems to be made for the forthcoming open air season. warm, soft beats are as skillfully and elegantly used as trippy half time snares and thus make the a side sparkle of life. in contrast to this, >abbadon< is more something for the neverending after hours of this summer. the warm and deep detroit sound reminds of sunsets at the beach and is bringing back this special feeling to the dance floor - may it be in frankfurt, berlin or everywhere else.

early support finds favour with laurent garnier, claude von stroke, ralph lawson, mark knight and deep dish&#146,s sharam. it&#146,s been a while since we last heard from mike monday &#150, almost two years, to be exact when he delivered smorgasbord, which won numerous accolades and superlatives in the dance press. lauded as album of the month in i-dj, while dj mag called it a lp we just can&#146,t put down, others jump on board and claim it as a future classic. now signed to san francisco&#146,s om records label, the man who never fails to impress, educate and entertain is back. >the 11 11<&#146,(no, we&#146,re not sure what it means, either) is backed with the equally oddball titled &#145,>hello nest<. regardless, it&#146,s another terrific house offering that pairs dubbed-out beats with techno-tinged melodies to create a modern day jackin&#146,sound. the addition of a driving synth-line only helps this swing, shake&#145,n&#146,rattle in all the right places over a dirty-as-hell bassline. anything but what we&#146,ve come to usually expect from the label, the sund is an equally refreshing break from convention for om, and is taken from the upcoming album, songs without words&#146,by monday

this new russ gabriel 12 is the long awaited kick-off for russ’s new techno imprint, sestra recordings and marks his return to the techno scene. this release follows up the infamous >future funk volume 1< which appeared some 11 years ago on u.k. electronica label >input neuron<. russ is a legend whose career spans nearly 20 years. having started his ferox records back in 1993 he went on to record for the likes of carl craig’s planet-e, soma records, djax-up-beats, dave clarke’s magnetic north, morris audio, force-inc and countless others. russ has been hailed as a master of techno production by djs such as laurent garnier and richie hawtin and continues to push his music forward with this ep aimed firmly at the dancefloor.

for flash lützenkirchen delivers three very classy dancefloor burners. first up there is >enter the moonlight<, an enchanting piece of thumping peak time business. a big bass, pumping beats and some great oriental sounds combined with far-out effects create a unique atmosphere. modern styles meet oldskool feelings! >on the shore< is even more oldskool than that. the fat and wobbly bassline pushes the track forward and creates the perfect antagonism to the warm effects and clicky minimal beats. the highlight - however - is the wonderfully written melodic piano piece that turns this track from wicked into wow! beautiful and tough, oldskool and fresh, slick and funky - all at the same time. this one is going to be huge. listen for yourself! at last there is >pokemon companion<, a more direct and solid piece of minimal tech. a drum’n bass like powerfully grumbling bass, and yet another memorable synthie pattern that seems to grow out of the buzzing loop like a spring flower out of wet grass - naturally and wonderful!

mn2s prepare for another wmc anthem by presenting this collaboration with danism and true soul diva kathy brown. light up my life has classic written it all over, making full use of kathys soaring vocals this powerful performance is sure to make more than waves at this years wmc. kathy brown, one of house musics true divas, has worked with the cream of the house music crop. arguably her biggest hit in recent times was the international smash, strings of life (stronger on my own), produced by award winning production duo soul central. her powerful performance in light up my life ensures that the track will be hammered in the miami sun this year. whilst the original mix features those unmistakable danism beats and kathy browns beautiful voice the audiowhores dub presents pounding drums and is a much darker, main room mix. in contrast to this dj la roi delivers a much more garage inspired, sweeter take on the soulful classic. following up the success of commended releases such as truth is, mesmerise and most recently feelin you danism drop yet another scorcher on mn2s.

last summer, the berlin-based producer and well-known remixer chris zippel (who already worked with the pet shop boys, robbie williams or ich & ich) already celebrated his very personal interpretation of modern and complex ambient between zwischen triphop beats and melancholic pop references by his genuine horizon album. with this ep, chillout producer zippel has chosen a way quite unusual for him by taking four tracks of the album, making them compatible for the dancefloor with a number of co-producers and proving that dub is still up-to-date in 2008. the ep starts with an interpretaton of electronic spain recordings producer mangelt: again, a straightforward energy flash between reminiscence and modern club sound, takes on the powerful post acid minimalhouse sound a la steve bug. the dane mike salta turns mirror dawn into deep techhouse dub, and also the schwerin-based downtempo producer andre muelle alias vakuum sounds shows that he is influenced by a timelessly valid unterstanding of dub and fragmented s mples by his version of glacier. finally, the tribal progressive house dub of blade remixed by kling klong impresario namito (berlin), undoubtedly the most famous remixer on this ep, goes right into your hips
