as hard as it might be to believe, there was a time when the word trance did not mean dutch guys dressed in white wearing oakleys.. it also didn t mean israeli pre-military dragon-stick wielding reefer addicts.. actually, there was a glorious era where trance was a verb rather than a noun.. im talking about when you got in a trance, at lets say for example: the golden eagle in munich in 81, in a white-tiled sauna-motif discotec, grooving to a 17 minute reel-to reel version of knights in white satin on your 2nd bottle of poppers while some guy named >wolfie< takes his modern ballet skills to the >next level<. if that sounds appealing.. and i know it does.. then allow me to introduce you to compuphonic and kolombo.. a throwback to the days of romance-trance of the highest order. deep, sensual (yes, i used the word sensual) electronic grooves so potent that we were forced by a coalition of competitors labels to only release some of them digitally to restrict their awesome power to trip people out. these tracks make other tracks seem like mindless shallow shit. that includes some of turbos other releases.

after the amazing remix they did for igor valentes doin it (very disco # 15), produced by the man behind all erick e, this duo now presents their debut release on very disco! this project name may be a brand new one, yet the two people behind this project are full of experience and are everything but new groove n gear consists of gabriel (well known for his very disco releases dislecto and noize and the selektiv biggie monkey bizz his excellent remix for electro junkies my drug is electro) and 50% of former uk top 10 artist lock n load! and we are proud to offer this massive new very disco release by these top producers. say that you wanna is a lovely, summerish feel good production full of catchy piano lines, groovy basslines, strong vocal sample use and fantastic rhtyhm parts set to be absloutely massive on the floors when the temperatures will rise far beyond boiling point!

cool package of remixes includes mixes by t raumschmiere, betrieb, dj dsl, robert lippok and bus

who needs an obtrusively acting kickdrum, when the decent wobbling bassline of breezin does the job just as good. right nobody. or, at least peter grummich (shitkatapult/ spectral/kompakt) doesnt, whose proverbial deepness constantly gets the floors into rapturous body rolling. thus it was just a question of time to welcome this man to karloff, the label for everything thats different. here, all medium dated orientation to felt (rather than experienced) standards is gladly left to other persons of great hope, whilst enjoying the border crossing between dorky monkeyshine and serious spirit of adventure. consequently, quick thinking misbehaviour is also the attitude of the (for formal reasons called) b side, where the horizon gets canvassed for both weird and life affirming sounds, in grasp of the groove. summarizing dance music to breathe deeply.

it was 1883 when the krakatoa vulcano erupted and generated the loudest sound historically reported. about 120 years later, in 2002, the project krakatoa was born, generated by the underground enthusiasms living in the city of turin,aiming to contemporary electronic sound esploration with a special appeal for clubbing. krakatoa was originally established as a cult underground party based at the beach club in turin, where every thursday more than a thousand youngsters use to meet at the feet of the dj booth where the two founding fathers, dj pisti and samuel, regularly perform. they are often supported by special guests such as josh wink

supported by brett johnson, woody, dj t, chris duckenfield and laurent garnier !! >the last shooter< uses mind bending funk to tell the story of three people ending an epic day/night in a blaze of jagermeister glory. the most descriptive element of this tracky adventure would be the misguided, off kilter synth twists that give the listener the illusion of drunkenness and vertigo. backed with a spine of latin percussion and tweaked low rez hi hats this a side packs a punch that can be only compared to >the last shooter< of the night.funk flows on when you flip it to side b. fongtom rides along with a thick walking bass line that weaves grinds with some of ferreyras signature percussion. a playful melody serves as the memory game hook that wont fade away even after a post joint meltdown or a night of mtv top 40 abuse

this is volume 2 of 7th citys classic series. it features one of seventh citys best selling releases, john tejadas funky anthem >timebomb<. when originally released in 2001 it became a massive track played in all the top clubs worldwide. despite having a incredibly prolific catalog of releases, timebomb still remains one of john tejadas biggest and best known records. also included is a special edit of paris-based producer jean guillaume cabannes (better known just as cabanne) >cant stand<. as with so many seventh city artists, his release on the label established him with a wider audience and he continues to have success to this day with his own-imprint minibar and as well with his collaborations with ark and david gluck. this version of >cant stand< is an edit by daniel bell, which emphasizes the tracks loopy flow. the original version of the track was released in 2002.

yes! format b are finally back with their second release on stil vor talent. after massive tracks on opposum and highgrade rec, their newest ep on stil vor talent is another huge minimal monster. kongo time is typical for the two berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum n bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. its definitely going to make you trip out for sure! on the flip its the funky mondo time that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. a huge organic subbass and some chopped-up vocal sample add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4:00 you really won t be able to hold your feet still. format b are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!

support by adam beyer, ricardo villalobos, mark broom, mistress barbara and more !! the unstoppable mihalis safras strikes again. this time on his own label material, he strikes 2 really huge melodic tracks with his partner in crime, liberto on a transparent piece of vinyl. on the a side the king aka mark broom delivers a proper remix. when you hear this release your brain will explode

tango saty is a crazy dancer from klaus schulze. sounds huge on 12 inch and causes a storm of freaky dancing on the more discerning dancefloors with a wonky yet eminently groovy rhythmic structure and synth brass riffs that echo around in your head for days. when the bass drops its smiles all round. b shock r.e.r.b. is a classic piece of doomy yet uplifting cosmic elettro from london town that was a baldelli and loda play. getting increasingly hard to find on the original 12 inch and even if you do, this one is mastered with more weight and clarity

peter has already graced numerous labels with his unique yet constantly evolving studio style. after numerous afterhour situations with the doc family, we caught wind of grummichs new productions. we believe that the therapy ep continues the development of peters uncompromising underground productions. the title track, therapy, is a nine-minute journey into dancefloor dynamics. slowly building with concentrated breaks, therapy works it out and then some. label boss, aaron hedges, has been giving it heavy dj support and has found that its been quite some time since well placed hat crashes can drive an audience crazy. minimal, sexy and sleek, but at 7 minutes the listener is surprised with a full on new-rave lead which takes the song in a different direction. get it is a nice tech-house track with building percussive patterns and highly concentrated synth breakdowns. this track is only for the most sophisticated house djs that know when to drop a track like this. drymilk is a seriously twisted hard minimal track. nasty sound effects and perplexing pitch shifts will keep you guessing. is it genius or insanity? you be the judge!

supported by karotte, agoria , trickski , chris lake , audiofly . micky slim, lawrence. minilogue & trentemøller remixes! a great premiere on pineapple. klovn is not from iceland like all other pineapple artist, but these gusgus friends come from denmark with a hypnotic deep and slow track, perfect for the summer chill sessions. klovn is more of a hobby than a fulltime project for buda and krede. theyve rented a studio, stolen a sofa of the street, bought the computer and thats basically it. when they have the time, they meet up late hours to produce. klovns friends trentemøller and minilogue were easily convinced to add their remixes with minilogue doing their great minimal clubsound and trentemøller living his love for freaky chilling

t junction & osiris team up with mc syco to drop this brand new hardcore bomb livin the hard life!a track that breathes through the hardcore blood and oozes energy when unleashed at high volume. melodies and kickdrums change pace from distorted kicks alongside in your face vocals to breakdown chills.both producers deliver an individual contribution to the release with two solo produced tracks on the b side under the titles of remember the name and guns and missiles.a superb 4 tracker trapped on 12 inches of vinyl with the potential to hit hard, t junction & osiris take the hardcore mass to new levels of madness

if zox was a sculptor, his works would be angled and polished, simple and magically effective. no sound on this record (which is called >more fluff<, which astonishes me) hangs around too long between the acrylic clear beats, the square waves are bellied and cold as vodka from an iceberg, the higher frequencies refreshingly cool as hills in the highlands, and straight lines are the dominating theme by far. this is dance music in itself. the basses live in rich bounteousness which is strictly controlled, though. why boom it when you can bang it? perfect shapes, functional beauty and a refreshing taste will rock you.

public service message: from the pale horizon of the calm world, here emerges critical tension. product of his society, henry the white collar goes through a crisis. today henry is nervous, negotiating the heave and shove between fear and his uncontrolable urges, and this is his music when he does. we, the producers, are his fantasy. does it hurt or is it good? can you make him relieve his debt? after two releases on sound of barclay, and a hit (sink) on yvan smagghes compilation (suck my deck) released on react, and the famous cover of lios amoureux solitaires featuring jennifer cardini on kill the dj, henry is back with a dodgy 10 inch no punk, no electro - this is wobble

the record was born too early, when house music was still very underground, so consequently it passed into house music history with only a very few discerning djs and collectors owning original us copies. in keeping with chicagos musical history, one of the unsung heros of house has been drafted in to keep the new versions feet firmly on the ground. craig loftis aka grand high priest who along with joe promised land smooth on keys! give the track a more understated could upstate from london back to chicago with 3 killa mixes

dont be fooled by the plural >boys.< alexander ridha, 24, is just one man and he can do it all on his own. nobody, however, would argue about the >noize< part. as a kid he taught himself to play the drums and piano, started to write his first songs when he was 12, and at the age of 16, discovered his love for programming and producing. his music and productions have excited massive interest from artists like soulwax, justice, erol alkan and the rapture and labels such as kitsuné, ed banger, fatboy slim s skint, dj hells intl gigolo and tigas turbo rec - to name a few. daft punk have sent him their love via myspace and his remixes of depeche mode, feist, british indie anthems >banquet< by bloc party and >everyday i love you less and less< by kaiser chiefs have thrilled global djs and crowds all over the world.

new release on dae by this prolific group with successful releases on paper recordings, diy discs, winding road and many classic remixes. summertime hits here starting with the swingin hot flash, coming hard with a nice walking bassline, searing chords and a killer sax riff that rocks with deepness. next up is exchanges, a midtempo house number that just keeps coming. built around a repeating vocal, this one will absolutely get things going when that analog bassline drops and a massive build up will really take it to the next level. flip for the swirl, that picks it back up and knocks it home. lush keys, great percussion and a lovely vocal sample all the elements you need for a classic deep house jam. last up is the swirl manuel turs bubble basics mix. manuel is on a roll at the moment and this mix certainly shows us why. with a unique touch he creates a deep jazzy thick sound with an additonal key riff that builds beautifully. quality for sure

forro in the dark makes people dance like they forgot they could. they sweat, stomp, roll their eyes into the backs of their heads and dont stop for hours. for the past four years, they ve packed their home base and birthplace at nublu well beyond capacity every wednesday night. when a band makes you feel like this, you keep coming back. on this follow up to their debut 12 inch with seu jorge, forro in the dark present three versions of their acclaimed single with david byrne, asa branca. aside from the original, organic, feel good track, the real tuesday welds clerkenwell cowboy lends an open, airy version that could find a home in a classic, french cabaret as easily as it could in the early hours of a dancefloor. dublex incs mix is a masterfully done, downtempo rework with a full jazz band and dubbed out vocals. and as an added bonus, theres a bouncy dublex and forro collaboration called kidon kibom energized dubbed out grooves that ll get anyone to the dancefloor

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

been impressed by his remix on wall of sound... i loved it. i also heard he won some remix competition. like a grammy, only not a grammy. the tracks he sent were amazing... but his hair, while being orange (no bonus) was not corn-rowed. while i argued vigorously that i had worked too long and hard building up turbo to see it go all >ginger<... von party defended the duke, saying it might show how open-minded we are. when i re-listened to the tracks i decided that it was well worth the risk. so.... what you now hold in your hand is the debut on turbo of duke dumont: the mysterious bad ass from the wrong-side of the tube, the hardboiled london underground pioneer who once had to eat a sampler to survive, the future of dance music, and the past of the future of dance music

super-hyped & long-awaited bomb !! matt edwards aka radio slave certainly excelled himself when he created his gnarly acid-drenched minimal-tech shoulder popper that first surfaced in late 06 on the no sleep ep (part 2). but now is time for the remixes. first up is josh wink, a man whose reputation goes before him. his >interpretation< is nothing short of colossal. cosmo vitelli delivers a corker on the b side along with the gnarly screamapella tool

kenny dope gonzales and lil louie vega made their production debut on the new york label way back when, so there can be no one more fitting to compile the first new album release on the imprint. in case you didnt know, strictly rhythm were one of the most important house labels of the 1990s. established by entrepreneur mark finkelstein and serious club babe gladys pizzarro, the label would launch the careers of, among others, roger sanchez, erick morillo and, as we ve seen, masters at work. pretty significant, then! strictly maw is an album no true househead will want to miss

canadas last step unleashes his debut album called simply last step. these tracks are all created using original analogue equipment like the roland 303, 606, 707 and jupiter etc. they do not know much about last step as he only communicates with me anonymously and via vocoder. all his royalties (if he ever makes a profit) are destined for the st. bernadettas synth hospital.

big one for all the italo and cosmic disco heads!! >satellites are spinning< is an amazing disco oddysey which kicks off with a patrick cowley like electric bassline and the builds slowly. more and more synths are laid down to ensure for a mighty climax half way true when the lead melody kicks in. on the b-side we have this amazing vocal booguie tune called >u cant help but dance.< this can be compared with a moodymann meets theo parrish meets dexter wansel kinda song. whatever this may be, rest assured this nugget moves booty when dropped in the club. this awesome package ends with an electronic p-funk track called >zweap.< the mighty linndrum computer reminds of earlier prince productions and the crazy synths sound like amp fiddler playing on another dirty and energetic george clinton meets parliament gig

sunburst offers layers of eerie, whispered vocals wrapped around a dark and menacing chord pattern. as the track develops though, the chords open out to bring light to the dancefloor and dramatically change the mood into something wonderfully uplifting. marc also offers a reduced version of >sunburst< as a dub to complete the trip. the alexkid remix brings some proper old school house vibes to the mix. alex and his 909 go to work on marcs stabs to devastating effect. all hands are destined to reach for the lasers when the bass-line drops, and just in time for the summer. parisian alexkid works his magic for the remix. alexkid has in the past remixed everyone from astor piazzolla to george michael, provided serious dancefloor fuel with tracks like >dont hide it< and a number of critically acclaimed albums for the fantastic french label f communications

jerome sydenham and rune rk first met about 5 years ago, when jerome first played club rust in copenhagen. rune was the club resident, and the two immediately connected over the decks. even though their styles were very different, there was a mutual respect and understanding for the music. in november 2006 jerome and rune decided to go to the studio and see if these magnetic poles could be joined - and from nowhere magic happened. a new mutant of sounds and arrangements emerged. not really house, not really techno, but dirty and soulful at the same time. energetic, yet calm, these tracks are something new. they dont sound like rune rk, and they dont sound like jerome sydenham. so what do they sound like? have a listen
