dreamy and epic at the same time, phoskitos is a >state-of-the-art< trancer, taking its cues both from the trademark factor city sound (the lethal combination of fat bass and spiralling synths best witnessed in undo & vicknoise 12s) and the new wave of uk producers (holden & the border community crew). >el tren asesino< is a tigh minimal groover, based around a couple of simple, mind piercing, synth bleeps, a tension builder track that has already been packing dancefloors while playtested by the factor city djs. >dismonster< nicely complements the package, with its dizzy, bubbling bassline and nostalgic melody, it developes nicely with unexpected turns, stops and twists

"aaltopiiri is an album filled with alluring, ambient frequencies and hypnotic rhythms. tracks like kone and kierto stutter and groove, while elsewhere aanipaa and liuos provide lush, addictive pulses. they are often asked what the track & album titles actually mean when translated into english, but as they often invent or combine finnish words the "definitions" become quite vague. for example, a legendary maybe mythological low creeping mist from a particular area of finland or, a variant technological term for a certain aspect of a early radio wave experiments."

multi vitamins gives birth to its third baby, mv 03: 4 tracks, 2 brains, conceiving some of the freshest and most forward thinking expressions in nowadays electronic dance music. sebastian russell leads you to some exotic, fascinating and still dopy territories. den adds some japanese folk to his cyber-minimal style. sebastian s misbehave breaks in with a reverberating crash and a rapping sample. to follow, while a low-fi soul penetrating bass line keeps the hips shaking, the combination of twisted mechanics, computer sounds with thirst-quenching vocals creates a mixed effect of drunkness and sensuality. sebastian s fusion of contrasting elements follows with chinese squid, where the warm melody of a canang ibu floats over a line of raw funked-up drums. den s sister 1 represents the most minimal piece of mv 03 dance output, characterised by a solid 4/4 bass kick, ultra filtered hi-hats and glitchy subtle electronic textures. n 23 to the beach is featured by a heavy slow-pi ched kick, spaced out with drills and chirurgical noises. a female vocal pattern kicks in humble, but after a hiccupping stage, the geisha is on fire

after his comeback single for playhouse we salutÉ nick calingaert back on the block with this detroit influenced italo stormer. analog feeling is the key word here ! straight jacking chicago groove with a murder bassline and soaring strings takes the track to higher level while slightly misjointed analogeffects tackles your toes. phonique who is currently riding high with remixes and releases on fine, simple and buzzing fly turns >through< into summer maddnesswith groovy drumprogramming and a strong breakdown perfect for those outdoor parties we all wait for !holmar filipsson (from mr negative/thugfucker fame) is keeping it real with a even more summery feel with light melancolic string work and minimal beats. with his own words >this is happy house as its best< – we think so too !

interesting mix of ambient thru to crunched up industrial percussive numbers. took me a while to appreciate it as its definately challenging stuff! the copy i purchased in 1994 has the track >paco< instead of >crosstown traffic<.

2 tracks perfectly produced for the club.. marko takes us on a dark stroll thru the techhouse beats of mtl one with well programmed beats and minmial textures in fine style. while mtl one would fit perfectly for the berlin afterhour, the b-side space after space could be the theme tune for a new york gay-disco in 1986 - or in 2031 for that matter. spaced out disco for the afterworld we call it, its deep but rocks the floor like a maniac..

techno for whirrled peas, simple and serious message, is in perfect harmony with the solemn butane s music but also with the records artwork, the wheel on the a side is a symbol of peace. this new record is simply >bewitching<, it should rock the crowd with his exhilarating rhythms, hypnotic basslines and disturbing atmospheres, sometimes reminiscent of minus. the a side >world peace< is an overpowering dancefloor anthem, while on the b side >black rob s acid< and >working title< add a deeper vibe to make this a more than solid 12inch. butane therefore enriches the roman,photo family with his emotional techno… already support from luciano (cadenza), troy pierce (minus rec)...

the presets julian hamilton and kim moyes now join the big league the original version of down down down is a rawkus guitars vs electronics affair with a severely treated vocal and plenty of distortion midnight juggernauts swing by with an electro synth rock version while digitalism totally run away with it on their stomping electrohouse version

beluga on the a-side is a an exciting mixture of old school house elements paired with pumping modern electronic house sounds jacked up with sophistication, perhaps hence the name >beluga<? >strobe< on b1 is an hypnotizing minimal loopy groove-monster and >u-bahn< on b2 takes you on a ride through the berlin tube system. your sound wagon passes several break stations, soundwise and figuratively. gui chose this name because it reminds me of the movement of an u-bahn while in berlin 7 years ago

bounding out from her hard techno roots, misstress barbara takes off in this new release, showcasing her love for all that is good music. refusing the standard one-genre-one–sound that most djs get pushed into, she walks over her own boundaries and treads off into the world of other genres. while stripping away the hard driven beats her fans relate her name to, she moves through an electro funk tech-house and minimal spell, throwing in her usual floor hitter that she will never really leave behind. with her new release >come with me…<, misstress barbara brings you two fresh tracks that.. dance floor go crazy.

well balanced blend of soulful and clubby vocal house deeper and very hypnotic while still maintaining a groovy vibe aimed directly at the dancefloor ... for fans of ron trent / chez damier

too big big house cuts both flavoured with some acid vibes while the a side goes the more spacey and proggy way a must have

modernist ep #1 shows just why woolford is currently being hailed as the best producer in his genre right now from the likes of pete tong, francois kevorkian, mr c et al. woolfords current >erotic discourse< is being hailed as one of those tracks that has captured the imagination of both house and techno djs alike. .and so onto modernist #1, and whilst woolford nods to the past on title track 313, the arrangement and structure of the infectious cut is as modern as electronic dance gets right now. on part one, warm and lush pads herald an epic 11 minute production that twists and turns, all the while keeping the solid groove flowing. part two on the flip presents a rawer and heavier take, the driving cowbell rhythm, snaking synth line and sub bass will cause much devastation

ellen allien and apparat, two headstrong musicians who indeed differ in their musical context but still come together not just at the peripheral rims, collaborated on an album together: >orchestra of bubbles<.by a deep plunge into the world of sound of their counterpart both are trying to find gateways in order to expand their own possibilities. while apparat used to stand for an algorithms-based aesthetics and ellen allien fathomed the possible heights and depths of the dance floor widthways as well, for their joint production they dabble in a principle which electronic music is dedicated to from the very beginning and which is now only spelled differently: contingency

big with james holden & thomas schumacher !!the a-side will and has already proved to be the perfect dance floor track while the b-side shows a deeper and more serious side of the label. with its funky base line and humoristic build up-break, subaquatic mechanic brings new life in to the myth of atlantis. playing games on the other hand, is techno for the david lynch generation. the atmosphere is so dense you can feel it. yes, you actually feel something when listening to this track. not so very common in dance music today and this is the reason why kontra-musik is here. the finishing track, high voltage monkey, brings it all down before it wraps it all up to a complete product. expect support from: richie hawtin

the powerful spoken word vocals of us house legend roland clarke (todd terry, armand van helden) straddles the divide between house and breaks with it s solid 4/4 kick and off-kilter percussion. a rolling b-line drives things along , while carpenter-esque keys and roland s anthemic >techno, disco, truly underground…< refrain make an instant floorfilling classic

troy pierce (aka louderbach, slacknoise and one third of run stop restore with magda and marc houle) unleashes one of the year s most anticipated tracks with >25 bitches<. the original track goes back a while, coming into creation as a joke composed while stuck waiting in an airport. not like humor is never ever a part of troy s music or persona, 25 bitches has been knocking down doors in his & fellow djs sets like magda and richie hawtin since last fall. pierce s bass-heavy mix starts of full of dark ghosts, working into a dub bassline and surgical mix of effects and vocals

the original of special powers is a throbbing beast of a track that s just crying out to be played on a big room soundsystem where itll wreak complete havoc! twisted, psychedelic s**t from outer space is one way to describe it! shur-i-kan calms things down a bit for his latin workout mix, but only a bit! tight brazilian beats keep things grooving while the layers of tripped out keys and fx swirl around on this alternate version. finally we see milton jackson revisit i want it so he can turn it upside down and inside out creating a darker, more tribal version for the headz. all in all another fine collection of underground goodness that we re sure youll get plenty of use out o

rightly tipped as one of the big movers and shakers of the year, with more plays from pete tong than you can shake a very large stick it – this is one track causing one of the biggest buzz s we ve seen in while. alongside the original is the exclusive remix from tony senghore, this will not be available anywhere else so make sure you grab your copy whilst you can, extremely limited with no represses allowed

two great mixes for this track a side goes the straight techy way while the flip gives a minimal electro flavoured groove not to be missed

sentidos opuedos as its names indicates go to explore the many fields of techno music. a1 >ama sonica< shoots to ears some groovy drums and a funky bass line, which take control of the soul while the hypnotic synthe-line gets in charge of the head. a2 >naked gravity< challenges to blow you mind into heaven. argenis points out his origin, delivering a song with a fat bassline and some typical south american rhythms that could easily bring you naked on a dance floor. b1 >yerbabuena< explores a more rhythmic section. this evolving tune starts from a simple bass shot to more complex patterns that deliver fury in crowded clubs as easily as to say >yerbabuuuuuuena< b2 >eimuu< is the psychedelic child of this ep. its groovy bass pushes you far somewhere in the deepness and the chords do the rest. dance, dance baby, its a sunny day! this 12inch is mixed by jay haze !!

the a-side presents >shick<, a dark minimal pusher. permanent sticks hold the tempo, while a dark but dirty melody slowly rises up and starts to lead the track. after a short break, >shick< evloves its whole sable grandeur. take your time to enjoy this one.. on the b-side, you find another strong bit. >shock< is less dark but more funky. shuffling hihats, a jumping bassline and some short chords qualify shock s heavy demand on the dancefloor. a thin open hihat makes grooves on and on and a short ear candy melody wont leave your head for hours. do we need anything else? dont think so

wildtime recordings usher in 2006 with their second release and once again strobe funk step up to the plate with more jacked-up grooves for the 21st century. the wigged-out acid of >shake your body down< roughs things up on the a side. insistent stabs an old disco vocal, some low pads and a tweakin 303 make this perfect for some sweaty, heads down action. >jump back< thumps along on a mid-paced groove. some 80s flavours are thrown in and a erm, >borrowed< vocal floats in and out of the mix and all the while the acid keeps on flowing. those strobe funk boys, they love their acid!
