be wie berlin - eva be verkörpert den sound der hauptstadt wie kaum eine andere künstlerin. scheinbar mühelos bewegt sie sich zwischen dub, house-musik und anderen zeitgenössischen stilen urbaner elektronischer musik. angefangen hat eva be in jungen jahren im umfeld des jazzanova-kollektivs. auf derwin, dem label des jazzanova-mannes alex brack, erscheint nun ihre neue single >confusion of a lady< mit remixen von alex barck und rampa.

when italian alex costa arrived in the world in 1979 he believes he was already addicted to electronic music. inspired by the djs surrounding him in his pr role in the clubs in the early nineties, he made the switch to dj and radio show host. in 2005 he started to produce - zoning in on quality deep house, tribal and tech house and scoring him a series of releases including daddy soon on toolroom records and was great on intacto records. we are happy he is back for some more intacto fuelled action!

lime dubs returns with a really sharp ep by brazilian alex mind. the power of the release lies in the electronic but yet melodic style consisting of bright synths and basses all perfectly coming together on 3 very strong and well produced tracks.

it has been a while since alex showed up with a follow up on credo, but as you know, good things do not only last for a while, they also require some time to be finished and this result is more than worth to wait for! hollywood bullet might remind you on some classic trackss essence and it kicks of impressively however, the real >go< follows after huuuge breaks and now its your turn to free the animals on the dancefloor with this weapon that contains not only plenty of energetic basslinesounds, but also load of colors which could be missed these days on often very monotonous technoproductions. alex is not afraid of bringing colors, and not only shades on credo, and so does heartattack: a really weird and unexpected groove on 120 bpm only, even kind of housy, but the upbuilding rythmic noises bring the track back to where it comes from, and this is nothing else as pure bassic energy. very very big release in our eyes!

we hope our last gym lesson could enhance your physical and m ental fitness so that you are well prepared for oliver schories >wildfang< -exercices on turnbeutel02. his original workout is by now well known for warming both your body and your soul, so that different trainers adapted it and developed multiple variations. one comes from ackers head mollono.bass, for sure he will help you to get in motion. in addition jaxson & david keno produced a monster remix of ollis track, as well as alex q (kleinstadtfeeling, mgf) did, both sticking to the melodic original but transporting its atmosphere into different directions.

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

after their superb release last year with >dinosaurs<, that came backed with two heavy paul woolford mixes, south german stars alex flatner & lopazz return to poker flat with three new essential cuts. >this< may sound like a curious title, yet the addictive low-slung, electronic funk within will have you chanting >i just wanna love you baby…< in no time! smooth, slinky production comes hand in hand with producers as experienced as this pair! the mysterious future-disco-funk magic of >hapbee< keeps the party stomping as a whole host of vintage gear flavours this cosmic beatdown. rolling and driving forward with relaxed, summery intent it is a seriously positive tune for those smiling, warm feeling moments. >its< offers a similarly challenging title but musically there is no messing around, with a shaking, simmering slice of modern funk characterised by tonal synth play, percussive splashes and echoed vocal madness - all dripping with funk!

after successful releases on imprints like 8bit and brise, colognes own dualton & wollion team up again to deliver a banging, new york-house influenced 2-track ep on yellow tail. >the gap< and >the ledge< are packed with warm housegrooves, deep basslines and energetic strings. the skaters amongst you should know, where the tracks got their names from. on the remix-boards we got greek wonderboy alex celler (cecille). he gives >the gap< a more percussive twist, which makes his remix essential for every tech-house dj in the game.

after a smash debut release that had house heads from around the globe taking notice, no matter what records is back with a vengeance for their second release. this time around label co-founder alex agore takes the lead with 4 tracks of raw underground house deepness that channels the energy and spirit from dance floors of long ago.

our 60th release is a special one! sibling rivalry ep is a co-production between brothers and co-owners of sleaze records, hans bouffmyhre and lex gorrie. this is also to be the very first 12 inch single vinyl release by sleaze, backed up with two huge remixes by techno veterans alex bau and samuel l session!

200 records presents another fresh new artist – pazul. he brings us the perfect late summer track >soundgarden<. the record comes with a brilliant alex q. remix plus the beautiful b2 groover >sun in my pocket<

after some silence on credo due to the fact that alex was pretty busy with productions and numerous remixes for other labels, he kills it totally now with this outstanding twotracker. >theory of noise< delivers two unique technotracks and especially >noise b< shakes it down in sets all over with its remarkable groovepattern und heavy as well as warm bass structure. this is the adequate follow up on the black series of the label after the outstanding and regurarly repressed >dark summer nights< that came out two years go. alex in top-shape, grab it!

sintope drops another hot release from their catalogue down to the 12 junkies. a groovy primetime tune with a catchy guitar-hook completed with a great remix by david labeij (remote area, intacto,sunset handjob).

alex_q is not really unknown in our small family. he show off his talent last year in spring with the >endlich frühling ep< here on mgf. this time he will be even more intimate. as the name suggests, its all about a girl. but who are we to talk about this. there are much more talented people who have done this much better than we can. we just let the music talk. enjoy!

on the 2nd amuse gueule we will present a perfect example of a summer spotlight. in order to do this, alex q and oliver schories joined up in a in gregarious circle, hitting the cookbooks and creating a midsummer nights dream to convince everyones palate. this piece of poetry will be topped off by a dish from our argentinean friend sandru who is well versed in noble ingredients and also has prepared the right wine. have fun while experiencing this tasty tidbits

finally ! the new ep from gopher. this one is a follow up from a bunch of remixes that alex had released over the last few last months for autokratz, etienne de crecy, light year, alb, pacific & sovnger. it gives us a good idea musically of what his album with patrick devin could be about !! some of the reactions about these remixes were >amazing< (boys noize), >brilliant< (groove armada), >absolutely love it< (david, autokratz), >quality !< (spiller), >favorite track !< (reset !), >on adore, ça tue< (soulwax)… ok, >invasion< is electronic music, but above all, thats f… good music ! vintage synths, harmonies, vocoder and other surprises ! who are the invaders? if they are as fresh as they seem, then we welcome them with open arms! >virages< takes us where the mastery of alex is well known. a track more radical, more oriented towards the dance floor. a funk and dirty bass line that drives until the arrival of a big 303 lead. mmmmh, yes !

after a long break cécille numbers comes back with a great 4 tracker from alex celler. after huge tunes like >caedmoon loop< and >a sin< together with his friend anthea, alex goes for his first record by himself on cécille. on the a side you find >blue vaudeville< a great emotional dancefloor track with an awesome catching groove, together with shonkys perfect summer anthem interpretation of this tune you have two different strong heaters for the hot summer. on the flip you find the cool clubbing monster >dawn in the jungle< with an unforgettable hookline plus >eccosaise< which shakes every ass on your dancefloor

big with: sebo k, ryan crosson, dario zenker, lee burridge, shlomi aber, seth troxler, lee curtiss, brothers vibe, reboot, karotte, dubfire, mathias kaden, ellen allien, ame, joris voorn, .. italian born alex picone has been an integral member of the bass culture family since the label launch. his thai ep, our second release, found critical acclaim from both djs and dance press. backed by its chris carrier remix, the ep gathered strong support from the likes of loco dice, luciano, tiefschwarz, dj hell, ame and more. alex was soon following his ep, with a remix for arnaud le texier on ivory machine ep from bcr005. again receiving huge praise and support from his peers. when hes not at the helm of the bass culture express, alex can be found releasing work on such highly acclaimed labels as cadenza, bosconi and tenax. whilst his output may not be as prolific as some, each and every release stands the test of time. this may be down to alexs unique and unnerving ability to cross genres, however we feel its simply down to the unrivalled quality of his productions. a quality that is once again in evidence on his, en pensant ep. four wonderfully varied original cuts and a summery phil weeks remix that range from the smooth as silk, vocal-lead title track, to the deep and elegantly twisted coco verde.

remixed by re.you / alex dolby / coming soon we are very proud to annouce santÈs first ep >comme ci comme ca<, which will be released on topmodel records. remixes from: alex dolby , re.you, coming soon
