new & exclusive tracks by: anthony rother, billy nasty, umek, xenia beliayeva, internal sync, chrisopher kah & frank kusserow!! for anthony rothers label datapunk, the year of 2007 is predominately characterized with defining the labels position. the recently released 3-cd compilation >we are punks<, which has recapitulated the labels successful path to date, was not the only thing to do this. the released double ep >various punks vol. a< now also provides consideration for the future and for the next generation of datapunks. as well as label boss anthony rother and billy nasty, frank kusserow and xenia beliayeva, the producers who have already made an appearance at datapunk, it is now necessary to welcome three new faces at the same time on >various punks vol. a<

remixes by woody & dj t.!! dj t.s >the dawn< 1st appeared in may of this year, and it was a 12inch of typical poise, refinement and dancefloor effectiveness from the get physical boss. now its time for the remixes... first up, t. himself tackles >jam pot<. the resulting track is the dancefloor monster that >jam pot< always threatened to be - subtle, intelligent, but unswerving in its intention to rock the floor. for a fresh treatment of >the dawn<, t. hands over the reins to woody, the legendary former resident dj at berlins e-werk and a true architect and soldier of the citys techno underground.the result is undoubtedly psychedelic, but the powerful, minimalist drum patterns and sheer production panache mean this will be a big hit with the feet and hips as much as the mind. this is a remix 12inch you cant afford to miss - two very different productions which will stimulate both cerebrally and physically. the dawn is here!

a year after their triumphant debut single >chasing you<, sleeper thief aka audiofly and miss jools are back with another creepy-crawly two tracker thats got thrills and chills to spare. full support by dan curtin !!

aus continue to release the best and brightest of contemporary dance music with the oehug the scary ep, a collaboration between luminaries will saul and lee jones. will saul is best known as the head of simple records, up for nomination as best british label in dj magazine this year and also sister label to the more experimental aus imprint on which this ep is released. in his career to date he has released numerous singles on simple, the critically acclaimed space between album and has recently produced an ep for the german label systematic. englishman in berlin lee jones has to date released acclaimed singles on liebe detail, aus and his own label, just rec. formerly releasing under the moniker hefner , he is also a main creative force behind playhouse my my, whose oesongs for the gentle album won plaudits worldwide in 2006. opener oehug the scary is a transcendental journey. trace echoes of melody encircle an intensifying percussive step, filtering to a chimed key reflection. tonal themes fade in, compete, distort and then depart, making way for peaks of overwhelming melody, with only the fittest surviving and elevating to the sublime. on the flip side, partial arts (the duo of ewan pearson and al usher) give their own, heavily percussive, account of proceedings. stormy fuzz and bubble bath accents introduce a funk bassline and interplay between looped guitar and tonal melody. a sci-fi synth haze halts and then dictates the progression into a saturated melodic climax.

this is a fresh & rockin kompass musik release, presenting music from the hamburg-city boy denis karimani aka remute! after lonely and quiet years of experimenting and self-discovery he released his first 12inch called >hypnoconsole< on zombie nations label dekathlon records and got remixed by munich-techno-hero richard bartz.the first livegigs followed directly and led him into smoky rave-basements, uproarious clubs, sunny open-airs, as well as shaky party-boats...due to excessive and unresting music-making, denis released lots of 12 s and made several remixes in the following years. he released records on fine labels like traum/trapez/mbf, areal , dial, num, smallville or liebe*detail, made remixes for artists like dominik eulberg, move d or station17 and released his first album >remute< on ladomat. his regular appearance in magazine polls for best live act of the year proves that this is not just theory. now, we proudly welcome this jack-of-all-trades to our yet small but nice label family at kompass musik. he contributes a bodacious three tracker, jam-packed with dirty and pushing club tracks. >slam with the face< on the a-side brings us into some rough, gruffy and exciting soundscapes, the b-side holds two more fantastic proves of remutes far-reaching talent. >cause he likes it<, a pretty deep piece of techno and >propellersweat<, a reduced but heavily effective monster track in the end rave on.!

the spatulacity crew is proud to present some more fresh talent with real time hand motions prime time man lotion ep! these two have been making major waves with blistering originals and remixes over the last year or so, and break ya neck and who got it are probably two of the hottest examples of what these guys are capable of. unbelievable studio trickery in the vein of spatula city label bosses the sound republic, rthm deliver funky grooves, dancefloor firestarters, and were without question one of the most talked about artists at this years wmc. this is only the beginning of what will surely be a long career for this nashville duo. chicagos sexual chocolate (of junky trunk records fame) delivers a nasty dubsided esque wobbly bassline stomper of a remix for break ya neck while the original funks, shuffles, and grooved its way in to the boxes of all of the underground heavy hitters with massive support from dj mes, the sound republic, diz, raoul belmans, justin martin, the inland knights, and more.

brommage dub is jesper dahlbäck and jean louis huhta.the two has recorded music together under this pseudonym since the mid 90s when the first releases came out on svek. in fact this year would be a perfect 10 year anniversary for this duo. this is the first release on their own imprint bromma, which is a part of stockholm 5 km west of the city. this was the home for jean louis during the early years of their produciton phase and which gave the duo their name. carbon oxide is a gas which was produced in the factory where jean louis huhtas studio now resides

dj support: karotte, ricardo villalobos, shinedoe, tobi neumann !! its only july and serafin has already finished his first release of the year. he teams up with percussionist roman bruderer from the p-train crew to embark on a rhythmic journey into the housier realms of club music. have they had enough of the streamlined, overengineered high tech sound that still dominates the landscape? we certainly do welcome the vintage house dirt that they deliver and believe that this is one of serafins best releases to date. this is music for all kinds of summer dancefloors that will open up your crowds hearts. peace

nice price deal !!! swiss dj and producer dani koenig is the next star on 3rd floor records. with releases on own and other labels since 1995, this is a gentleman whos been around for a long time and should be reckoned with. most recently hes released on four twenty recordings wich was a big success. we believe that what he delivers here is of his very finest. a1. floatet a perfect a-side! the thumping and grooving bass line is the heart and life-giving source of this track. layer upon layer of rolling percussions, filled with energy. as explicit as the sun on a summer day….loco dice has already proven this as b2 featured on his time warp cd from earlier this year

merry, amusing nonsense - some of the attributes used to describe the last kritik records. these terms are unlikely to be appropriate here: the young sebastian simmert from the outskirts of berlin has submitted his first own production. noticable are the influences of techno producers from recent years and the work of this 22 year old demonstrates he knows the whos who. is this an up and comer? the first track is in the tradition of pumping bodzin/romboy works, the second references 2step, including the bad little ravemonster. finally, a hymne for the early morning hours, for the more contemplative dancefloor - enjoy while sipping bionade. beyond minimalism

its been well over a year since front rooms last offical release (look out for deadsets >keep quite< & lost property for some undercover front room action). here the label bounces back with two prime-time cuts from riva starr (aka madox), here wearing his jackin house hat, he shows why both front room & dirty bird are supporting his releases. picking up on the sound of jesse rose, switch and claude vonstroke, while getting plays by them all at the same time. look out for future releases by riva starr on front room very soon.

this is the first ep on flash recordings that doesnt feature label owners florian meindl and oliver koletzki. but they have made sure to look for a quality replacement. no one else than cologne-based artist daso - renowned for his previous releases on labels like mbf, session deluxe, ghostly and connaisseur - teams up with his buddy pawas to create their first release >night express< on flash. pawas has just had his first record out on adam krolls and markus müllers imprint squonk records and has been a dj for 9 years, moving from india to cologne one year ago. on the a-side daso & pawas foreshadow the summer with the track >tgv<: a beautifully deep melody that swings along a powerful loop. >ice< - the name of germanys high-speed train is clearly more electro-driven. a slightly broken beat with a thumping organic bassline pumps above an ever-changing soundscape that culminates in some euphoric high-pitched synths. never too much, this is a perfect example for elegant understatement. also on the flip side is the track >bummelzug<, which translates as >very slow train< in german. this is a dub-techno masterpiece. deep dubs and arpeggios flow over the simple beats with a great clappy snare drum. dreamy, hypnotic, melodic! flash recordings has just become fit for the summer

heres two new uptempo instrumental tracks from lindstrom just in time for the summer. breakfast in heaven sounds like something edward grieg could have made if he ever got a chance to work with sequencers. blast of loser is a percussive track with distorted clavinet-feedback on top of simple rolling drums. bol has been remixed by mungolian jet set last year, but its about time to release the original version

get physical are pleased to welcome paul ritch, following the well-received >fortuna ep< (together with anthony collins) with his first solo-tracks. over the past year ritch has earned his stripes with solo releases on resopal schallware, minisketch and paradigma, and as one half of handycraft, whose le bal masque ep on kickboxer was a recent underground hit. ritch saves his best for physical, though, with two minimal house tracks of real energy and sophistication comprising this new 12inch. a master of slowburning intensity, ritchs begins >june< in understated fashion, but build after build, and the onset of busy, chattering percussion, sonar pings and ravey acid lines take things to a wholly different level. ritchs skill is in accumulating layer over layer of effects and then, in a magical instant, stripping things back to raw elements, some of the compressed, filtered breaks on >june< will cause serious dancefloor damage and delight

after a fairly long break with mousevillethe production genius that is eric prydz returns under his cirez d moniker to deliver this heartstopping new weapon on his mouseville imprint. he felt it was important after the many copycat versions of his tracks to deliver something for mouseville that was not only devastating but also fresh and boy we were not disappointed!! these 2 tracks will be 2 of the biggest this year with the a side track horizons combining sublime melodies and vocoded parts with slamming drums and eric s charactaristic killer bass.the flip side is a filthy affair with huge dirty bass and killer drums which will be played as a peak time weapon by djs across many genres

mos ferrys sublabel fenou returns after a one year break with a new limited 10 vinyl edition. the first releases realize collectors price and show a path to a universe of experimental, minimal pop. dapayks >dehalledretro< is probably known as part of his liveset. the calm and reduced, but groovy track emerged from a bunch of loops hes playing with during his performances. its a proof that shows, minimal is not always made of clean, sterile sounds and dry wood-like tones. dredl kiboshs flipside >i found you< is spinning around broken beats and intelligent grooves, beyond the klikkaklakka standards. its a link between four-to-the-floor and downtempo-breakbeat, very soulful
