facs & dylans label biotic was killing it a few years ago with their own personal take on dnb, after a four year break the label returns with a sure fire smasher. on the a facs >ghost< comes with old skool style beats, orchestral stabs and punishing bass while on the aa fon gives us a slab of dark and menacing riffs and power bass, both tracks will shake the system when playing, power tunes for the dance.

after 9 successful years and 36 releases on their label >festplatten<, the teichmann brothers are already unleashing their third release, transistor vamp, on their new artist label teichtracks. true to the motto of the tt-series this offspring of analogue machinery is also designated for the dancefloor. the title track is a 12 minute trip, an unstoppable modulating organism from the deepest depths that subtly and powerfully creeps forth. you smell the greasy oil of detroit, you inhale the dusty air of berlin and when you open your eyes, the next day has already begunà here, the past is just as present as the present. deja-vu? or did transistor vamp already infect you during one of the brothers many live sets? those who turn the record over will find, alongside a condensed 7 minute edit of the title track, another independent micro organism. micro is a game of rhythm and bass, reduced to the very essence of groove. a poker face of a track whose accumulative tension spans 6 minutes. like a balloon filled to bursting it knows how to stretch its limits and, without badding an eyelid, it waits for the explosion. minimal? of course! but here you can still hear the groan of the mixer and effects!

san soda only needed one very limited ep and one >full< release to get attention from all over the place. deep house music that is both rooted in the past and firmly aimed towards the future. for this fourth release on we play house recordings san gives us three more killer tracks from his vaults. the a-side brings us >doorsnee<, a track that already had people requesting a release when it was but in its infant days on his myspace. describing it is quite the task, because it kinda leaves the 4/4 path and still stays on it, it kinda floats but it still gets you screaming on the dance floor.

when robots start to feel and dubby disco music is taking place, when h. r. giger meets g. moroder, it s time to present heib s attempt of >i feel love< to you. dry and smooth, passionate, warm and deep. >sound conspiracy< on the b-side starts as a simple acid track, but grows and rises to become everything else than minimal. bleeps, pads and effects pass the ether to hit your body system. forcing. 2 pieces of music without half-life. make your choice !

after recently releasing astonishing records on vakant & kalk pets, dewalta is hitting now even more dynamic and powerful the springtime floors. back on his motherlabel with great & unusual music and we dare to say that it is our favorite release of him so farà >saluki< starts straight with a crafty bass driven smooth rocket and build its self up alongside a guiding piano loop to reach very atmospheric frictions. soft choir singing here and there, various dub sounds brushing in the space, bringing all sound aficionados into a beautiful ride. dewaltas crispy rhythms are eventually fading out into melancholic and moving detroitish strings, to complete this unique piece of music. >shagya< on the flipside is a self-developing carnevalesque odyssey. its such a profound & delicious kickdrum, tightened with an extraordinary bass presence, its simply irresistible not to groove happily on that one. all is enriched with polyphonic balafon rhythms and hilarious african rooted chants - this is the energetic tool for those special intimate moments. a perfect track when lust and familiarity is present within the crowd and we consider time as officially end.

iggor cavalera is recognized throughout the world as a master drummer and former member of none other than brazilian heavy-metal band sepultura. however, he is as much familiar with turntables and mpcs and he is with a drum kit, taking his credo of hard beat beat and applying it to other projects. as mixhell, he and his wife, laima leyton, combine dancefloor and hard rock sensibilities for dj sets and their productions (just check their great remix for clp, previously on boysnoize records, which is a mix of brasilian baily and rave) for this release bnr bring back young star brodinski, who did his first remix ever for d.i.m. back in 2007 on bnr. he has made a name out there with great productions (turbo, mental groove) and remixes (radioclit, ed banger, bonde du role), supported by a wide range of djs like sven väth, laurent garnier, erol alkan and the ed bangers - to name a few. he has touched mixhells song “highly explicit” and made it to the perfect spring house hymne. he took the balearic elements of the original combined with a classic house arrangement and when it comes to the massiv break the track reveals a clear message: this is a hit. a must for every house or techno dj in the upcoming spring and summer season

after a longer gap than intended, part two of the cage & aviary remix series lands with a bang. truck are an enigma of a band, only forming when the astral alignments deem it appropriate - the next is due in 2012. cage & aviary take the brilliant vocal into proto/acid house territory with a killer bassline ready to move any dancefloor. crude vocal cut ups add to the 80s remix feel, while guitar licks, god pads, and all manner of prophet warblings come and go in a patchwork of angled sounds. sinister strings cut through at the mid way point before the superb outro vocal takes you home. for the dub, ape into jam & leo zero put their heads together and push the track into more of a dancefloor place, employing arpeggiators to keep the cut and paste elements rolling along. leo is a man of many excellent edits, productions, and remixes - watch out for an exciting new vocal project coming from him soon

the next animasola is done by the owner viperxxl who battled with sepromatiq for an outstanding ep. the a side comes with an hardtechno tool with pounding basslines and some synth work in the breaks. viperxxl did the original and sepromatiq remixed it to perfection. the b side comes with an epic track done by sepromatiq. you will find everything for the dancefloor to burn, banging beats mixed with a violin melody. viperxxl remixed the track with a long break pitched to 120bpm - when it goes back up you can be sure everyone is dancing

cynosure flag ship artist and label navigator mike shannon reaches into his archives and selects the much-anticipated “the box ep.” “the box is open” was always a highlight of many of mr.shannon’s dj sessions and live acts. this cut delivers nostalgic, old school of detroit, soulful, techno jack. a ton to digest there but there really is no other way to sum it up. adam marshall graces the ep with a stormer of a remix. taking things a step further, adam really explores a different use of the chords given to you in the original. a smooth kicking set of drums and ever elevating sequences of synth keep you on your toes never really knowing exactly when things will drop. definitely a production trait that adam is best known for and it never fails on the floor. howie mangel

giorgio s mixture of house, disco and techno sees its result in these 3 tracks which are fuelled with a lot of euphoria and don t hesitate to make brave/courageous changes when crossing over from one genre to the other

henry l is the new moniker of cologne based producer/dj thats already known to the drum & bass world as henree (with releases on established labels like soul:r, cia deepkut and soundtrax just to name a few). even though hes still busy in that genre (unless others) it was about time to contribute something to a genre he always felt and took inspiration from. the other day at the basement reminds on an early mood ii swing vibe, pitched down to the right tempo. marcus worgull stripped down >the other day at the basement< a little, focussed on dubby stabs and added some wonderful harmonies to this hypnotic tune. when the soulful piano comes in, theres no question that this marcus worgull dub is one of his best remixworks to date. >wake up< is a sexy 109 bpm monster and as funky as house should be. if you need one word to describe this dope jewel it might be bouncing!<. just awesome dope shit, soulful, slow and moving

deepgroove aka grayson shipley & lee pattison from bristol have crafted their skills at venues like bristols seminal lakota, emerging with a sound that incorporates a hefty measure of eclecticism within a framework of deep and twisted tribal grooves. never fearing to tread a different path when it comes to firing a crowd, their performances marry a healthy degree of contempt for convention, to an obvious reverence for the original precepts of house music. using the 4-deck format, not as a tool for ostentatious displays of mixing prowess, but as a template for experimentation, deepgroove throw everything at the crowd, embarking on sonic voyages that range from the sultry to the surreal, with the funk never being too far from the surface. coming from a strong musical background growing up around jazz musicians in west london, jamie anderson also had a love for electronic music and the art of mixing records which has been with him ever since the early electro and hip hop days

this release offers 3 more tracks of quality techno! this time on the original mix angelo pomposo and tad g. dish out a track inspired by the murena, a fish infamous for its lethal venom. la murena starts in a deceivingly quite fashion, when, a couple of minutes into the track, the subtle background sounds take over with a mighty sting. by now more percussions add to the relentless groove. at the end just when you think it is calming down, a dark pad appears from nowhere bringing you in to the closing beats. all in all a track for every dj in search of good quality and effective dance floor productions. flavio folco and stewart walker take in charge of remixes! flavio folco s one is a deeper excursion into the dark side of tech-house, able to satisfy demanding customers with a good blend of dance floor oriented music. stewart walker s remix completes in great style the proceedings. while leaving behind his softer side he retains his own unmistakeable imprint with an excellent job, very much in tune with freshfood style! have fun!

as some of you may have already noticed, each release of mr raoul ks >peul< series features a specicific african instrument as its main sound. this time its the balafon - a kind of sticcado, which uses calabashes as resonancebodies and is often handcrafted by its player. here, the balafon is used as a rhythmic and a melodic instrument. after a long intro, the track gathers momentum and takes off for one of those long buildups. when the tension is released, in come the vocals! rising from a sparse chant to an energetic vocal that empathically pleads for unity. then you get your beats back and off goes another african-european joyride. for those of you who arent that much into vocals, a less vocalized mix is provided on the flipside. enjoy another mr raoul k special treat

probably the most outrageous promo reaction playtime has ever seen, jazz thang is what happens when you ask two producers to work together who are both just millimetres away from the bigtime. on one side you ve got andre crom s jazz thang, an - unsurprisingly - jazzy number that builds on the wonkier material he s already known for with safari electronique, leftroom, memo and sender. also on the a is gettin funky, a retro-90s house number with contemporary bass. but then on the b, you ve got riva starr s amazingly catchy and fluid re-rerub of jazz thang - which has struck a chord from the nu ravers (massive - tommie sunshine) to the commercial djs like d ramirez and even tocadisco, the ubercool underground types like karotte and marcus vector, and of course the king of wonk, claude von stroke

the ep >black is back< shows no mercy for the house hype, two chord melodies and fluffy cloud beats. the titletrack pushes through the crowd, moves upfront and wants to work, rock and shake the dancefloor. space detective and minuteman may be less aggresive but still they want to touch you from behind and move you. you shall welcome them as intimate strangers when you meet them again. biography lars wickinger music was always his way companion and his passion

stuart li aka basic soul unit is no unknown in the game, but hes new to our camp. after following his output for some time now, we finally could sign two tracks of his raw and edgy techno for philpot. >dank< is a growing piece of pure space funk! resonating basslines and banging drums collide with twisted arpeggios, fall apart and rise again… caused mayhem when tested out! >the stand< starts with some oldschool flavoured breaks to shuffle its way into bleepy heavens of acid-infected wildpitch craze! people, we must rise up from our graves! zeitlos, wie man bei uns sagt

amplified orchestra provide more unhinged disco party on one ep than most dj s pack in one hour! this awesome new amplified release is part house, part disco with a hint of cosmic spaciness. arpeggio is a long and deep galactic trip with atmospheric strings, dope synths and spaced-out effects. an analogue bubblebath of sounds combined with a pumping disco beat and static bassline. the fighter is an excellent mid-tempo disco work-out. killer percussion with banging beats, grooving bassline and enchanting vocals provide for an hypnotic dancefloor nugget. rumble is a robotic an quirky electronic cosmic dancefloor stormer. amplified orchestra have been around releasing the dopest sounds since 2002. their releases on their own label, amplified, gained support from disco and house lovers all over the world. not a lot is known about who is behind the amplified orchestra moniker, although there is a chicago address stamped on the vinyl. but where the music comes from is irrelevant when it s good
