summer killer tune! big with tiefschwarz, shir khan, matt walsh, turmspringer. as a record label klasse recordings acknowledge and develop the ideas between racing, electronic music and the man vs machine relationship. the concept of artist and founder luca lozano and agent daniel zedelmair, klasse holds up the classic spoked wheel design of a racing bike as a symbol of strength and unity which contrasts with the disposable doses of instantaneous gratification found on electronic music blogs and in so many discotheques that they have encountered on their travels. located within, but not constricted by, the genres of modern house and techno, klasse aims to evoke the depth and narrative of themes such as travel, movement and repetition, fusing the rich sounds of traditional wind and string instruments with the accuracy of synthesisers and drum machines.

the second and final part to mossas massive album is festine pt.2. the first part was crafted for a more big room, late night feel and for the second slab of wax were going more for the bouncier out-door, summer fun time feel. there were so many moods on this full-length that we were able to craft specific types of eps. to some this may be more of the sound they come to expect to hear from mossa but we know him best, he has flavors upon flavors, which is very obvious on this ep. hes a hard artist to stereotype, exactly why we had to have him on thema. so for this excursion we have a tango-esque dance floor prime time buner-buleria, that will make you slam tequilas like the true lushes we are. on the flip side we have pezzner of freerange and dave aju of circus company delivering some sultry, tangy, funk for the body

for release number 5 well rounded goes deep with the debut release from donga & blake.
label owner donga met blake when both djd at brightons forward thinking drum n bass night carbon spinning similar shades of the deeper end of dubstep. this lead to the idea of hooking up in the studio, and whilst initial experiments at 140bpm were promising, it wasnt until they decided to lower the tempos to housier speeds that their sound clicked into place. this sound is a balanced fusion of soulful house, deep textured techno and rhythms absorbed from garage, funky and broken beat. these 3 immaculate tracks have a simple appeal but also contain many layered sonic details for the closer listener.

anyone who ever has listened to a live performance or a record of illeist collective knows of the difficulty to describe the sound they come up with. some say its big beat, some say its rock, electro or dance music. and as always, the truth is somewhere in between, somewhere along the lines of bands such as soulwax, digitalism or friendly fire. and the best way to find out is to listen to their energy-loaded, genre transcending and - most importantly - uncompromising music.

ltd new years deal - jin choi returns to archipel to release his second 12inch in archipels vinyl series entitled -dig your own out-. just as masterful as his first archipel 12inch, jins second coming is surrounded by an aura of warmth and is highly jazz influenced providing the birthing ground for his fervently smokey textures. lost and found initiates with warm rhythms and a gentle chord pulse which grows into a sunny melody whose beams set alight slowly drifting chains of saccharine smoke. >hurtlocker< features sultry acoustic guitar and piano melodies at its core which are woven tightly and hypnotically into an expertly stitched dance of subtle textures which wind about each other into the small hours of the morning. >dig your own out< continues on a similar path with a gentle piano melody which is rhythmically set just so in an atmosphere of early morning mist and streams of heady rhythmic waves which are constantly in subtle states of change while they bring with them in tow an ardent series of gently warped textures.

nice price deal !!! miss latanza waters is back in a great form. if you hadnt already worked out, piano anthems are back in vogue and they dont come any bigger than francos & adams club mix.

these 2 new versions of >lets get hot< and >lets get cool< are the result of the original track cool in the pool recorded in my home lab in cologne 1979. sometimes absurdity can become the mother of invention. when i was working on the music of cool in the pool it finally became necessary to search also for a lyric. to my surprise they all seemed to have appeared at the right time and the right place. there is no doubt about it! so, lets get hot and lets get cool together. comes in limited transparent blue vinyl!

on his first release, >muskelminne ep<, gunnar delivers an indian summer love song, >massagerutin 1<, some deep and glistering morning music with the track >morgonanga< and ends with the raw but perfect bonus beat, >lilla huset pa prärien<. or as gunnar jonsson puts it: >i just want to have a good time with music, no steroids, no tricks, just some soft grooves and some hardware fun. i love older electronic instruments, the way they look and sound makes me feel good inside and gets me going.< eat healthy and ride a bike between the studio sessions that is gunnar jonssons vibe. it is our wish that this ep will end many summer night dance floors.

man/machine: viennas elektro guzzi challenge the meaning of live in electronic music. bored of laptop sets? with a classic setup of guitar, bass and drums elektro guzzi quantize themselves to an unheard level of discipline, tightness and danceability. no computers, no pre-recorded loops, no solos. probably the first time techno is really played live. as sequential as they may sound, they couldnt be more analogue. but however traditional they may look as a band, they certainly do not sound like one. the quest for the ultimate live presentation of techno has come to an end.

the buzz has been around for some time, but now its getting real! the recently created cologne label magazine will release its debut record >cologne tape.< until now, they have made their appearances almost hidden, but it might not be too far-fetched to refer to them as a kind of supergroup: cologne tape are ada, axel willner (the field), joerg burger (modernist, burger & voigt), philipp janzen (von spar), john stanier (battles), jens-uwe beyer (popnoname)
