in terms of taste, amenity and flair they are not to be passed up.a little bit of minimal and deep house is based on traditional techno-house, detroit, with a bass line plunging even deeper with its dense and thermal sound.

surface returns with a stellar line up of old friends and new faces with the next ep in their series of various artists releasesà surface was one of the main labels forging the new wave of uk techno in the mid nineties, running alongside blueprint, downwards and counterbalance, and this all round solid and innovative ep really shows they are back on top of their game!

phantasma volume 2 by dinky, matthew styles and pier bucci is out now. this lovingly designed record is produced by three artists we really like and and it is just grea they decided to work with us again. matthew is damn sure one of our favourite producers and pier s skills are nothing short of his. on the last release we made with them, they d worked together as oblique strategies on balld inc. for phantasma volume 2 pier wrote a track on his own, highlighting the noble beats he is known for and expanding the explicit cadenced patterns with a chord phrase that leads the structure to perfection. dinky whose work was released on such labels as cocoon, traum, vakant and of course on her own imprint horizontal composed the other side together with matthew and you can sense their familiarity at once. the two arranged >choises< carefully, sleek and free of any kind of hubris. well, this attitude is hart to find these days and their versed piece may calm your stressed out ears both in the club and at home

itÆs been a couple of years since victim last released a full 12, but just like the buses you wait that long and then two come along at once. for victim, the >off piste< 12 follows hot on the heels of their split 12 with jerome hill & dont recordings. in the case of ben pest, they are coming thick and fast at the moment, with a recent release on lukes angers bonus round label, and an upcoming 12 on the seriously deranged panic bridge label. so, all in all a busy few months. as for the tracks, they all share in common a seriously weighty bottom end, and a tendency for crunchy acidic midsàbut that is kinda where the similarities end, as ben takes the opportunity to explore various avenues off the main street of techno. from the stomping acid workout of >zeedonk< to the more electro-influenced beats of >pain n gain< this is a record that covers a fair few bases (basses?), although all with the aim of thrilling a crowd that enjoys their techno on the gnarly side.

incl remixes by marek hemmann and till von sein !! dirt crew, martin eyerer.. right at the point where everyone stopped believing that the label owners themselves would do a release on baalsaal,it comes flying right around the corner! finally at catalogue number 009 chopstick & johnjon decide to put their best horse into the race and team up with no other than fritz kalkbrenner - the voice behind the early summer anthem >sky and sand< with his brother paul kalkbrenner. the beat of the original mix bounces from the first minute on, supporting the chords and the bassline while they work their changes. at the point when fritz starts the first verse you get this feeling... this is gonna be special - and indeed it will be... the catchy chorus and the beauty of everything surrounding it makes you wanna sing along, dance and dream away the night... and we didn t get to the break and the strings yet ... yes, there will be strings. so get ready and breathe in 11 minutes of deep feelings and emotions! on b1 is a remix by marek hemmann, who had great impact with his productions and remixes on labels such as freude am tanzen, raum musik and resopal. you can see how much fun he had working with these vocals!..

“it’s nearly spring, so the sun god re-emerges after a 3 year hibernation. this series is based on rawer electronic vibrations combining artnoise / jack rhythms / sufi sounds for the fearless music explorer. when the series is complete the music will be followed up by an indie doc /visual art film on dvd dec 2009 with the music feeding this new age cinematic medium. jack fm is the exploration of a sound not yet understood or known to the masses outside the jack community. non-believers mis-interpet what they hear so jack fm is about the re-education of the mis-representation of the sound. jack is not just a feeling, it’s a knowing, a clear and certain mental apprehension of a true aboriginal sound. archived & preserved for future generations by the sun god”

some spicy latin salsa to heat up the dancefloor at your tropical dance party! there s nothing quite like listening or dancing to good strong latin music, and i m not talking about wishy washy bossa nova or boring rumbas that your mum and dad danced to on their honeymoon cruise in the caribbean. i m talking about tropical rhythms that make your hips grind and jiggle, complex, crazy beats that make your feet take on a life of their own, hypnotic piano and blasting horns that whirl around inside your head, intensifying an already exotic experience. it doesn t matter if you don t understand the lyrics, the fun is all there in the vibrant atmosphere and the knowledge that you re listening to pro musicians making seriously exciting music.
when it comes to proper latin, there are loads of bands to choose from. most of them don t get a peep outside of their local communities, it appears that the latinos are only too happy to enjoy their own music, and so what if the rest of the world can t hear it? not so orcestra esencia - this west coast usa outfit can give it some if they really have to. check out these two irresistible tracks. tropical dancefloor salsa at its finest. now that s what i call bangin latin!
we re not the macnamaras, and we re not leaders of men. we are an east bay salsa band, the finest in the land. we play at wakes and weddings, and every fancy ball. we cancel playing funerals, to play the carnival!

the fourth and final sampler for the way of the samurai represents the full stylistic diversity of the label samurai music. hobzee & zyon base were asked to design a tune specifically for this project and when 1000 paper cranes arrived in the inbox it was obvious they had a very firm grasp on the sound the label was looking for. fluid, gliding vibes and a subtle sexy vocal ease the tune into its rhythm. the breaks and bass provide a step reminiscent of photek to the eastern sonics that unwind themselves around the rhythm.

according the info provided by the label this is all new tracks from art forest, the actual son of cybotrons rik davis. some freaked out electro techno that harks back to the early days of model 500. we are not sure if they are telling the truth (or are we sure they are not telling the truth!? stuff like this does not come around often.... dont sleep!!

the best comes last, that is also our opinion and we are proud to present 2 amazing tracks before we take a little summer break. again with a new artist on our ostwind sailer. the young bulgarian ataneus gives his debut on the a side. with >20 years of democracy< he shows us a lyrical, energetic and detroit flavoured track which builds on and on and will definitely rock the floors. an excellent debut how we think and we look forward to his forthcoming tracks. on the flip cosmic cowboys give their vinyl debut on ostwind, too. here on fofftein they come with the anthem >deep is a message<. shallow depth, fluffy, with massive compression of course, and as the name implies rounded down with deepness, this track is a really nice mover for the open air season. we appreciate these artists for this great release and we think to them when we enjoy this sound over the big pas at the open airs

the chicks have been busy in the last 2 years, filming video, making art installations, girl monster extravaganzas, reading books, exhibiting all over the planet, making patchwork fashion collections (for insight, crystal ball and yoox.com), building high heeled shoe guitars, high tech super suits that trigger sound and video and other objekt instruments ... and they even found the time to make this new record!

cortney tidwell has confirmed details of the first single to be taken from her forthcoming album boys which is – according to tidwell – >about two kids in love, fighting, and they eventually kill themselves. its a modern day romeo and juliet.< undeniably one of the most electronic songs shes written, it calls upon diverse influences like new order and depeche mode and packs a typically impressive melodic punch. the track will be available as a special single edit, and is accompanied by exclusive mixes and an a cappella version. after the success of ewan pearsons remix of the title track to her debut album dont let stars keep us tangled up (a pitchfork track of the year 2007) duties are this time handled by simon baker and daphni. bakers remixes for radioslave and simian mobile disco have confirmed his status as one of the most exciting djsand producers around, and he gives the track a technicolor tech-house workover perfect for summer twilight. daphni – aka dan snaith, aka caribou – has meanwhile turned in a fourteen minute monster, a trippy techno bastard that sneaks up gently, growing relentlessly until it leaves listeners dizzy and euphoric.

snuff crew (playhouse / nature) sign up for the third release on hhyr. again in best tradition they come up with two old skool inspired chicago house tracks. where feel inside is a deeper journey, slam it is a straight up jacking affair. hhyr natives kink & neville watson remix feel inside into a dance floor monster... bass!

jazzmin deliver the goods yet again with this killer jazz dance 4-tracker from m swift! it opens with disco, a wicked energetic disco jazz nugget, that wouldn t seem out of place at the end of one of mr scruff or gilles peterson s dj sets! ôpanamaö is more laid back, sounding like soil & pimp when they re not bouncing off the walls! over on the flip there s two killer remixes , 4hero s marc mac underpins the live instrumentation on caf? bahia with a tight jazz break. moon at noon remixed by french beatmaker fulgeance delivers a rough wonky jazz hop vibe, keeping the jazzness of the original and adding a heavy banging beat. m-swift presents 24 carat æs forthcoming album will be released soon on jazzmin records:

stanley anscorm has finished the follow-up to battle beyond the sun. you can expect two epic tracks on this nearly 30 minutes record. although the tracks are based on identical compositional material, they shine in very different color. the black side is of high density and impresses with remarkable bass figures which seems to grow on the fundamental principles of low frequencies. these figures are easily carrying loads of percussions and even an orchestral set of horns which does not seem to be from this world. the white side can be understand as a lighter interpretation of the same topic and it is thrill of its own to discover the intersections between the two tracks. sure, this music is nothing you listen to in an elevator - stanleys art demands attention, there is no doubt about this - but the reward you get if you listen or dance to it with an open heart is of a kind you might never come in contact with somewhere else.

you can not stop them! with each release they even seem to get higher and yes...deeper too. we are proud to present shahrokh sound of ks fourth black label appearance with three remixes of their highly acclaimed album >dripping point<.dripping point got massive support from djs like rainer trüby, peter kruder, atjazz, sasse and me.

like any group enthralled by the history of electronic pop, the fascination movement love remixes. on the heels of their 0.5 ep, and to keep you busy while they put the finishing touches on their debut album, they give you remix vol 1. starcluster twists “radio” into burbling new dancefloor shapes with a tinge of 90s proto-house including 808 drums and roland baselines, alba (a new project with roland sebastian faber and michael black of unit 4/jupiter black) reworks “down again” into something sweeping and nocturnal, adding rock flavored live drums and a new shimmering melody on top. elitechnique stunningly suspends “just pretend” in space with spinning organs, transforming it from a propulsive pop song into something wholly different. in the days of dime a dozen remixes that consist of nothing more than retro-fitting tracks with a 4/4 beat, these beauties show off the originals in new and surprising ways.

sons of the dragon debuted last year on a mysterious white vinyl double out of detroit, they awake again to bring us >the journey of qui niu< and cast their firey wrath. the cv313 rework plays off the original version but adds a low end throb so deep it could shake the heavens, a rhythmic shuffle which begs you to move and a hypnotizing symphony of lo fi sonic destruction, its totally menacing. the new sqx project debuts with a killer, taking a different approach to the original, they use the synthesized textures as warm sonic fragments. its as if they were building a sonic puzzle but changing all the pieces around while assembling, leaving us with a rhythmic synth workout of the highest order, for your mind or the floor. a destined to be classic, do not miss

our third release is introducing to you more intensely the musical personality of dairmount, founder & a&r of our the label. longtime independent music activist born in belgium (formerly known as philarmonix), dairmount is a natural born “freestyler” who embraced anything soulful & groovy since the late 80‘s, playing & travelling the world for 15 years. hamburg is the city where he settled down in the last 6 years and 2009 marks the accomplishment of his personal dream to found room with a view, shelter of his musical fantasies. friendship & challenge are two values that defi ne phil pretty well so it is no surprise that musical collaborations & versatility tightly express his musical approach and personal ethic. after displaying bass-ment tale, an old school house tribute produced with his partner in crime marino berardi, on the fi rst episode of the perspectives serie, dairmount is presenting subakuatik blues on his fi rst ep. recorded in 2007 with his good friend ralf petter, an “old cat” of the hamburg music scene, this track managed to capture the essence of these great studio sessions : phil’s natural obsession to create hybrid club material & ralf’s amazing engineering skills matching perfectly to create this sub-aquatic dream that resulted in the track name. lost in the world of analogue synths of ralf’s studio, they created a 9 minutes odyssey crossing the lines between deep house, disco futurism & detroit infl uences topped by a surprising “ravy” breakdown. phil approached naturally two of his longtime favorite producers to give their own perspectives of the timeless feel of the original : russ gabriel, who phil has always admired for the depth of his output on ferox, planet e or his own soul on wax, has signed a beautiful version of the track. extremely subtle & hypnotic, this remix is a true blessing & a great pride. mood music’s honcho sasse, old friend of phil, retouched with lots of love & care the track that he went crazy for and even realised 2 vers

who the hell are bleep district i hear you ask? well for those of you who havent heard their awsome debut on replay records they are matt powell a founding dj of the legendary quadrant soundsystem and the inappropriately nicknamed matt rhythm who rumour has it spends his spare time pressing random buttons as one half of deep house anti-heroes rhythm plate. coming straight out of leftfield, bleep district have exploded onto the deep house scene like a musical gas leak. their quirky, chunky, dancefloor orientated beats causing serious damage on dancefloors and working mens clubs around the counrty. these two devout christians and still practising altar boys have decided to continue the religious theme of the bleep of faith ep on the highly respected winding road and titled their debut for ornate music… end days ep. revelations (rapture rub) kicks of the ep with a clearly deluded shaun ryderesque gentleman professing his faith over a big moody analogue bass and detroit style stabs on a track that would make the staunchest non believers begging for absolution! and on revelations (pillar of salt dub) they take things nice and deep for those more reflective moments in the evening.

london s idjut boys (dan tyler & conrad mcconnell) and rune lindbaek of oslo are meanderthals. as longtime friends and fans of each other’s music they have discussed the idea of working together in a musical context for years and in 2008, they finally began to make those ideas a reality. throughout the year they traveled back and forth between oslo and london to create their debut album, desire lines. the album is due the 11th of may. but before that, this 12&#8243,,, taster of the andromeda (album track) as well as a idjut boys remix) a meanderthal is a theory by matthew tiessen about a human that is always in the way of others. whether it be the person on the wrong side of the escalator, the person walking slowly, the person bicycling on the pavement, it is essentially the person that stops the flow of urban daily life. on the contrary, lindbaek, tyler and mcconnell s definition does not see this person as a threat, but as a person that is completely in his own world – a slacker, musically on his own. this could also be a good description of lindbaek and the two idjut boys. meanderthals serves mellow balearic disco. a warm and dreamy blend of dub, folk, prog, kraut, psychedelia and 70s west-coast combined to invent an organic, slanted, and proggy feel. recorded live, the album features contributions from good friends, including pete z (dj harvey) on keyboards, des morgan (yamwho?) on drums and percussion, malcolm jospeh (grace jones) on bass, per martinsen (aka mental overdrive) on percussion and raj gupta (laj & quakerman) as sound engineer

jack for daze is one of the new clone series of releases inspired by the early house releases from chicago. one of the main inspirations of the clone crew... first release is done by neville watson, known for his collaboration with kink. two sweet tracks that are highly influenced by joe lewis and larry heard. two tracks that sound as if they came out of a time machine. clone founder serge produced a modern jack track together with gerd as bonus track. back into the studio since a long time and just playing around they came up with a nice hybrid mix somewhere inbetween an old gherkin gherks / larry heard release and a modern club track. crazy low bass kick and a classic jacking percussion drive combined with todays production skills. a proper club tool that compliments this first jack for daze release... very much recommended!

limited vinyl edition of the black dog s new album on soma quality recordings. each of the 500 copies is hand numbered and screen printed by the artists. 3 x 180g heavyweight vinyl. the black dog are without a doubt one of the hardest working acts in electronic music. no sooner have they released one of 2008s best albums in >radio scarecrow< and the massive 12 inch >detroit vs. sheffield< which featured two remixes from detroit minimal grandmaster robert hood, they now prepare for their next album release. >further vexations< is a real successor to >radio scarecrow<. the thinking behind the predecessor is still very evident with even more bite, but theres something about the new album that lends itself to the dark club atmosphere. perhaps the recent bout of constant gigging has had its effect on the act because this one is going to be tearing up floors around the world on its release. >further vexations< might have taken half the time to create but still manages to maintain the same degree of meticulous detail and attention as its predecessor, and is a complete package of tracks demanding to be listened to from start to finish. >further vexations< looks to rouse the sort of political attitudes that have been sorely missing from electronic music since raves backlash against the criminal justice act in the 90s.

dojo is about getting back to the roots of american techno and house, and getting away from the computer. we want to help bring back the spontaneity and freedom of live performance and recordings. we want to celebrate the raw physicality of the music, and the dj who still likes to mix. ross since, 1997, ross has been in the background of the westcoast canadian techno scene, particularly the victoria family that included mathew jonson, cobblestone jazz, the mole, and hrdvsion. in 1998, he released the now out-of-print compilation album ôgarden city dubs, that featured first material by mathew jonson, and cobblestone jazz. he left for california in æ98, but kept his finger on the pulse as the art director for itiswhatitis recordings. while in the bay area, he listened mostly to soul,rap and early american techno music. heavily influenced by his time spent in the u.s., he started to develop a musical aesthetic, which he is now ready to express. young florent florent moved to vancouver from switzerland to attend art school. he began to get into making techno. tapping into his french-martinique roots, florent quickly developed a unique sound, which caught rossÆs ear. a few live jams later, it was clear that they worked well together, so they got a studio space and got to work. one month later, dojo had its first release. florent has only been making music for a year, but his swiss work-ethic is dangerous

after being influenced by mix-tapes of artists such as richie hawtin, dustin began writing music purely for fun. shortly after, dustin met future-partner ian lehman, who was established in the mid-west rave scene. ian explained to him that music similar to his was played at parties called raves. ian invited him to one of his shows and dustin took his offer to see what he was talking about. after being exposed to just one party, dustin knew this was his future. dustin started doing a live pa at various local parties and quickly became a favorite. after a year, dustin stepped up to the decks and won just as much respect as he did with his productions. in early 2001, dustin and ian both agreed to take things to the next level. they put a halt on bookings and concentrated on the studio. a year later their work had emerged onto vinyl and all over the internet, creating a serious buzz. abiotic was born, and the duo formed the attack people. a few words can easily describe dustin zahnÆs style: moody, tribal, dark, and hypnotic. since dustin co-founded abiotic recordings with ian lehman in 2001, heÆs finished projects for labels such as livewire records (detroit), analytic trail (italy) and invasion (belgium). his tracks have been received support from techno producers such as redhead, adam beyer, danilo vigorito, tim xavier, ben sims, chris liebing, dave clarke, umek

part 2 features mixes from hard dance / ravebreaks giants slipmatt & bunter they have been pushing their new sound which they call ravebreaks, a fusion of breakbeats mixed with anything from traditional rave sounds to electro to full on vocal songs. and has had a highly successful compilation albums with ministry of sound under the helter skelter. bass slammers aka nilesh parmer & dave heels currently on the dance nation tour in the uk provide the other mix alongside germanys de-grees

support by: adam beyer, speedy j, emerson, brian sanhaji, joel mull, perc, steve rachmad, the advent, paco osuna.... true type tracks starts here with two artists that have created a very distinctive sound both together and solo, and represent a way of understanding techno music in which we firmly believe. our dynamic duo meets again to continue what they started on the ad ltd imprint. two tracks that define their own sounds and as the two artists behind them fit so well together they have to be in the same plastic. as a is for alexi, time out fills this side with powerful, dirty, jackin driving techno. alexi delivers a track were the classic flavour of techno is completely infected by his characteristic twisted futuristic sequences. the track grows full of tension and it s a sure killer. it s funk, it s dark, it s strong. on side b, xpansul signs a playful techno track full of swing and funk, hip techno a la xpansul. jackin beats and dubby bass support several freaking melodies that build this trip to dancefloor madness. we love techno!

france fed records to the disco explosion right from the start. most famously, the tele music players were the chart topping, multi-million selling voyage, with the trio of chantereau, dahan and pezin joined by sauveur mallia. phenomenal production and immaculate orchestration made them perfect for the increasingly glamour obsessed disco scene. but more exciting to collectors are the long running series of library lps they worked on.

10inch !!!! this is something special. 10 years after its very limited release (simply due to a low budget and limited sales expectations, not to try and make the record scarce), norm talleys the journey is picked up by a a few hip berlin djs, and a fire starts with the record being offered on ebay for over €100.00, because nobody can find a copy. even norm had to borrow a copy when he went to dj in berlin and the berlin party crowd had already asked him to confirm if he was bringing the record..no joke. so here is that tune, the journey, now re-mastered by stefan betke and cut by andreas@schnittstelle, and sounding very nice. on the flip is the unreleased in yo soul, chosen by third ear to complement the journey and complete a full on in your face piece of norm talley groove. and to round it off, its on a 10. cool and compact. just like norm, who is known in the dj circles of detroit as a secret weapon.. need your party fixing?... call norm talley. serge at clone kindly added a few words... nice re-issue of an obscure dj favorite produced by norm talley and previously released on the nouveau riche label from detroit. here you have two tracks that turn out to be great dj tracks when played out loud. the journey somehow got lost in obscurity. but luckily someone was clever enough to get it back out again, together with the previously unreleased in yo soul, and here they are... 10 inches of pleasure! pure detroit house music as we like it

first release on the new label hand of god. side a is a reinterpretation of a classic disco edit from way back, a good tool to get the floor tooting and beeping. side b is a deeper exercise in stripped down disco. first release on the new label hand of god. marco & orpheo have been djing together for years, they enjoy vintage synths and long sets the beach. their debut release are two nice dance floor burners
