for the 13th release on thirtyonetwenty we welcome gabriele baldi, a young, talented italian whose recent release on label bitten got heavy play from top djs such as oxia, ricardo villalobos and 2000 and one, causing havoc on the dancefloors.
gabrieles passion for music began at a very early age, from piano to rock, blues to soul, funk to 80s … his evolving eclectic musical background provides him with the foundations for his productions now – heavily influenced with deep, house and acid-funk sounds.
this time he is back with two grooving funky (tech) housetracks >all i want< and >crash love<. amsterdams own tom ruijg (bangbang!) finishes it off with a deeper house-take of >all want<.

after a series of various artists eps its now time for serious artist eps. fer br did the very succesful kick off with his sweet sweet baby ep. now its time for hungarians techno specialist peppelino to rock it with this >all in ep<. funky techno at its best, pure funky techno. the true special series specialty!

here we have it, the final installment of the >django< trilogy from the unstoppable dorothys fortress. kill django kill is not letting up, from the opening introvision skit (an old vhs company), right through to yul bryner inspired, westworld skit, dorothy is back on form with this stunning ep. kicking off we have >gekko<, and arpeggiated analog monster, hailing back to the early scored synthesis of john carpenter soundtracks. >firefox< is the answer record to the now cult >silencer<, which appeared on the first 12, with its driving basslines and retro synth leads, this is sure to hit hard when played out. next we have >neon cities<, the 808 / detroit inspired electro track, blended with a lo-fi italo disco sound ! finally the daddy of them all, >hell cat< delivers the chubbiest disco groove around, guaranteed to get you moving, or your money back (not legally binding)

alex under is the man behind dolly la parton and what he delivers is just pure dancemania: original, raw and groovy, both tracks included in this release are pure slices of music madness. its just a thing blends jazz improvisation with techno euphoria while cornbread, fish & collard greens may be the deepest, blackest and funkiest dance track of 2010, a ritual of rhythm invention and futuristic manipulation

johan gielens new release >these are my friends is made for those who like to groove. based on an addictive theme, the record really tyakes the audience on a trip to one of those classic breaks that will make everybody scream. the entire track cn be easily filed under >balearic<.
>blow it all away by cor fijneman is a terrific vehicle for his production skills. the vocals, the incredible arrangement and atmosphere of the track as a whole, its deep, moving and comes with a stunningly beautiful break that grows like a classical symphonic composition. vocal trance at its finest.

fudge fingas provides a three track ep for this solo release on prime numbers. >about time< is a taster of his forthcoming debut album set for release in april. after a handful of highly regarded tracks featured on prime numbers >signature ep< series and the much coveted firecracker 10 inches, fudge fingas has produced a set finely displaying his instinctive ability to fuse sounds from a wide spectrum of styles.

untracked recordings had a killer year in 2009, and if this is any indication things are only going to get better for the vinyl only label in 2010. release eleven at the label is the incredible new all i ever wanted ep from rising star red rack em. the title track is straight beatdown, theo parrish esque stabs and rumbling sub bass underpin a low slung heavyweight, for the true underground connoisseurs. the track, however, thats had everyone freaking out is in love again. serious support from gilles peterson, and endless inquiries as to its release date has ensured this record won’t be around for long. deep warm pads, an emotive vocal and beautiful detroit strings bring this straight to the heart of the matter. 300 copies only on 180 gram vinyl.

rush hour kicks of its direct current series with nyc based falty dl. this series is about today’s electronic music in all shapes by new and upcoming producers. falty dl is known for his releases on planet mu and ramp. his sounds shifts somewhere between hip hop, funk, dubstep, house and techno. its this cross breeding that gives falty dl his signature sound. with >all in the place< he delivers one of his best releases to date. four tracks that sound classic, yet futuristic at the same time. essential ep!

jack is back you could say, but he has never really left us. far from it, jack is the godfather of all less productions. modern oldschool house maybe? jeazon its >your deal<, is the real deal, beacause the mood of this track is driven by the vocals which was seemingly recorded in the deepest chicago underground. talking large noising the track is most fun on the dancefloor.
>its not the same< is the candy for the costumer, a potential tech-house hymn, seldom before house vocals were so well arranged with a techno track and merged to a neurotransmitter pushing sound impression.
the enliven deep acoustics remix foils the whole thing with the desired portion of funk and is showing perspectives, jack would have appreciated.

>fall into me< finally marks the release of the last and keenly awaited single from jay haze aka fuckponys masterpiece >let the love flow<. the album title says it all - >fall into me< sounds incredibly light, yet catchy and full of energy - a free fall onto the worlds softest pillow. this is how house must sound to lovers. house with soul can be taken literally in this case, as jay has called upon the expert support of laila tov and chela simone. the latterenjoys an international standing and has already lent her sublime, very unique voice to kikis hit single >good voodoo<. here she combines inextricably with jays compact sound aesthetic and makes >fall into me< positively shine.with its atmospheric intro and broad musical range, the original on the a-side sees a welcome reappearance of certain must-have features which will have the hairs on your neck standing up... the accompanying video was shotby emmy nominee daniel michael gahr with chela simone and laila tov in the woods of san francisco.
marco passarani has done the honours on the flip side. a workaholic from the eternal city of rome, marco is the linchpin of the italian techno scene. he produces under the aliases js pool, monomorph and ambit 3 for the labels skam, hymen, clone and peacefrog, and also runs his own labels plasmek, pigna and nature records marcos >fall into me< remix is unmistakably influenced by hiscarefully nurtured detroit roots. however, he employs these stylistic elements very discreetly, retains beats, melody and vocals in his arrangement, takes out a little of the decorative padding from the album, then finally hits us with a wonderful, trancey eight-tone sequence to send us into the realm of dancefloor dreams for ever.

over the last year a new generation of young and ambitious house producers from frankfurt to mannheim have caused quite a stir. vera heindel is part of the scene in the rhine main area, which is the new centre for innovative and modern house and techno tracks, and peoples house, her first release on cargo edition at the end of 2008 received huge attention from critics and fans alike. this time around vera dishes up four top-notch house tracks for us which demonstrate her unique way of producing - using reduction and funk, the two constants of her music. jump the hump concentrates on two things: a devastastingly simple bassline and a vocal sample which gives the track a lightness and an understatement which you seldomly find in house tracks. miss fitz, veras project partner in mara trax, heads more to the dancefloor with her remix, but without giving up the special character of veras style. the b-side continues to drive with a high dose of funk. a clear organ chord gives ling both playful and elegant moments and with the vocal sample and the easy-going beats it becomes a typical vera- track. the final track on the ep hallimasch is espescially catchy with its melodic and complex style, triggering positive feelings all around

markantonio s analytic trail label has been instrumental in creating what is now recognized as the neapolitan techno sound. strongly influenced by their house roots, the labels inventive approach has seen them feature the likes of rino cerrone, valentino kanzyani, the advent, davide squillace and paco osuna. analytic trails its what i like series of ep s has previously featured cuts from a mixture of household names (joy kitikonti, the advent,valentino kanzyani) as well as unearthing some of techno s most exciting new talent. this latest ep focuses on three new names who are making waves with their music. already an emerging name within the naples scene thanks to his work for labels like glowbox and capsula, francesco gemelli typifies the sound of italy with a driving goodtime romp through an array of rubbery tonal synths and acidic bass croatian, vladimir acic has forged a strong reputation playing alongside the techno greats at exit and impressing umek enough to snap up his productions. here he shows why with a fast paced trip through warped flickering tech moods mark morris completes the trio on show on this ep. choosing a style that sits between funked up tech and wobbly minimalism, play with me retains a strong identity with italian techno via a funky bassline but adds a linear restrained vibe.
