big with nick curly, jimpster, pablo bolivar, alexi delano, demon days, davide squillace, agnès, audiofly,. andi numan, another newcomer of new zealand origin, presents his ingenious take on house, fusing traditional acid and contemporary styles with ease. we are excited. this one goes out to everybody feeling tired with deep house, abandoned or stuck with techno, but still looking for the one beat, that rules them all. andi numan studied various instruments like piano from a young age of three years. in the early ninties he got sucked into the young electronic music scene, fell in love with analogue gear and started dj-ing at open air events and abandoned warehouses.

on Áir with barem, ryan crosson, margaret dygas, karotte, anthony collins, hugo and many more!!! the berlin / lausanne based avant-garde label minimood moves straight forward, presenting swiss artist gregorythme from the legendary cadenza duo digitaline, who irresistibly demonstrates how groovy calculating square roots can be!! together with minimoods permanent tokyo-based artist so inagawa, yet another scene bending offer from this evolving labels stable is brought directly to your lovely turntables: the square roots ep

formed in 1997 by philipp albrecht (guitar), rene albrecht (drums) and christoph lenz (bass) - singer christian erne entered the band in 2000. since he left plenty enuff in 2007 philipp albrecht and jessica sigfalk took the micro power. plenty enuff have been experimenting with sounds from the sixties for almost ten years. starting off with a traditional type of ska they soon switched to a dark blend of roots reggae. their large amount of shows already brought them to the jazz festival of montreux this year.

once again the dark forces between cisco ferreira & ricardo rodrigues, confirms that techno at its purist can still make waves & can prove that in this club scene, techno can still be original & stay true to its roots. already every dj is now supporting these & past releases from cf & rr from the k research camp. more assaults to made this year in music & other established labels.. watch this space

ortin cam created a brand new playground to release some good techno music he likes! he kick off the label with a smashing 2 tracker!

limited upfront promos, asante records are back with a massive new release. japanese touch is gracing our pages this week. yoshihisa hashimoto lived in new york for five years from 1998, immersing himself in nys underground house music scene. he still considers new york home but returned in 2003 to bring his new found style and music to tokyo. his ny influences have combined with his tokyo roots to creat e a unique style, guaranteed to keep the clubbers happy and into his music. yoshihisa is organising, promoting & djing at “,breath tokyo”, one of the best club nights in tokyo and leading tokyo under ground house music. the location is club air, one of the top clubs in japan. well known for an impressive back catalogue of worldwide artists and djs, air creates the perfect space for clubbers to lose themselves in the soulful music. its also arguably japans most famous club, thanks to the movie lost in translation

african roots< ist ein perkussives minimalstück das harmonisch aber druckvoll die feinheiten sichtbar macht bevor es im rodriguez jr. mix eine gehörige portion pop-appeal verabreicht bekommt, während die flipside den eindruck erweckt als würde matias aguayo mit abe duque einen saufen und danach im studio verschwinden. prost

nice price deal !!! 1997 classic release!!

torontos stuart li, aka basic soul unit (best known for heavy hitting releases on versatile and mule electronic) delivers for chicagos very own mathematics imprint. this is finely-crafted detroit-style programming with a little acid thrown in for good measure.

paul hammond is a london-based producer and founder of the label real soon. he has been making records since 1984 originally with industrial avant-funk group a primary industry and then from 1989-1998 as ultramarine in partnership with ian cooper. paul’s musical roots were established in the early 1980s listening to the new wave funk & electronic experiments of a certain ratio, 23 skidoo, cabaret voltaire, the pop group, new order, gang of four, the slits, the raincoats and the broader independent scene of the time typified by labels such as factory, rough trade

kne deep is a&r ed by the one and only emperor of hard techno, dj rush. the next kd in line is by dj arcane, who did some braindamaging stuff on labels like lars klein s compressed, artificial beats etc.

jon gurd is back on a solo project, with the usual jon gurd style of using old school rave sounds with a tech and groovy combination that works well on the cooler dancefloors. tom neville - really good stuff. im playing both tracks but grass rots is probably my favourite. thanks slam! co / orde meikle: grass roots – very glichisco – quite intense, the chimes – love the groove – old skool stabs are nice kos: i am really into the chimes record. solid track and i love the old skool riff. definitely gonna play. james talk: the chimes is class mate, big room action

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. born in liverpool, his love for the music was passed on to him by his father, a record collector and former dj, who introduced him to crate-digging at the early age of eight. his roots stem from black music. hip-hop will become his musical bases before he discovers the acid-house explosion at the mythical hacienda in manchester. he naturally starts mixing in the late 80s/early 90s, playing a mixture of rare groove, deep-jazz, deep house, etc. he then turns to production and is noticed by gilb-rs fine-tuned ears who signs him on the spot. releases on labels like wavetec and mule musiq are planned further in the year. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything

dj disse returns with another hot slab for music for dreams. the real roots ep sees the man reworking the doors break on through to maximal dancefloor effect and its teamed with an additional three deep and duby originals. more quality from the music for dreams camp

this is a debut release of kaoru inoue aka chari chari for mule. he is a one of the most popular japanese house music dj & producer since end of 90s. maybe people still remember that he has joined to the compilation of bossa tres jazz. recently, he is pushing & producing to his roots music like a progressive rock, balearic sound under his own name & aurora (the project with guitarist dsk). these his original two tracks of a side will be reminded the sound of can, holger czukay, klaus schulze, manuel gottsching etc and this releases highlight of todd terje remix is a dreamy long barealic tune!!

baby, when the light is on, you see who is who & who is doin what.julien jabre has always been amongst those artists we love & admire, because he delivers truly good music, soulsearching, without having the need to run after the next hit single. this warm production will stir our feelings through to our roots & seems to be a magic track inspired by chicago house figures lil louis and memphis house boss, mr. fingers aka larry heard. with its incredible and amazing atmosphere the stook is going to send all the listeners into a hypnotic and euphoric voyage.on the flip, he is said to be of the best underground producer, david duriez gives you his vision of early acid house with a wild and rough track. wilderness sounds like a tribute to davids musical father, afro acid man dj pierre.

imagination of the shape draws a new skyline while not abandoning the roots of the city. the tracks this time obviously point towards the future of course a bright one! the mixture of established artists and newcomers declares that plastic city has many great names and artists inside the city limits and nevertheless searches for new flavours, techniques, sounds and people but this time something is really different. all artists mentioned on the double 12inch compilation come up with neverseen creations which all have a new flavour and perfectly fit together. imagination of the shape sounds like science fiction house music something you never heard before. high quality tech house touches new spheres and instantly grabs the listeners attention. approved artists as terry lee brown junior, the timewriter, greg parker, rob pearson, colin dale or eddie richards prepared a row of pleasant surprises as they left the old centre of their city. slightly more minimal but still housy and groovy the tracks are connected to each other as it has always been greatly compiled at plastic city. theres much consideration behind the artists works as well as behind this chapter. imagine the shape imagine the future
