here it is ... the fourth volume of the rebirth unreleased series. it includes hot material and brand new exclusives: music from artists like a:xus, rocco, tevo howard and andre lodemann.
after a few years of silence austin bascom is back as a:xus another fantastic song! featuring the sweet vocals of graph nobel, >suite disappointment< grew in the last few months and is ready for a full release in october. the original package included mixes from pete heller, james teej and motorcitysoul, and received the support of a diverse range of djs. it has been played by tiesto, erik morillo and joris voorn in their essential mixes on bbc radio1. rocco (rodamaal), who loved and supported the original mix for months, drops two deeper, soul infused, techytinged remix, proper house music we ve heard in a while! food for your soul!
just signed from rebirth, angela k. is an artistic alter ego born in 2005: angela scalvini, conservatory trained songwriters, meets the electronic artist isacco zanola and experimental guitarist maurizio rinaldi. from germany, rising producer andre’ lodemann, transforms >ballad< into a soulful techno master-piece that grows and grows with every play. takes the strength and sharp nature of the original and sets it against a clinically clean and instantly mesmerising techno backdrop, a gorgeous concoction of shrill synths and crisp beats!
a mysterious figure in music tevo howard is surely a very talented producer coming from chicago. his brand new track >crazy love< is already big for djs like tiga, tensnake, manuel tur and deetron!

we are proud to announce that no one less than greeks firstrate techno artist, axel karakasis, is featured with a huge track on technopassion number six. >buggy< is, as you d expect, a quite funky track that s packed with a ton of rhythm and cool synth lines with a oldschool feeling. another must have from axel that will please every crowd! on the flipside are two tracks from austrias uprising techno hero george le nagelaux. >steam engine< goes unstoppable forward like a steamroller. the baseline is really monstrous and accompanied by a catchy synthline. surely a number one prime time burner! >industrialisation< gots a proper base too and mystic sounds mixed with driving beats: dark, atmospheric and well donne. >industrialisation ep< is a solid, highly playable three tracker that no one should miss out!

>faith< is a breathtaking longplayer that is produced from the early points in my life where house music at the time between 1994-1998 was more open and free without styles clashing and everyones sound was being admired. the productions and concepts for this projects was created by...

many deeply-rooted house influences from blaze to larry heard
to early 1990 strictly rhythm housegrooves witth strong influences of jazz
to intelligent new jakbeat tracks with less noise clatter and more
soft-cushioned toned multi-melodies and vocals.
faith is a creation from all of my life experiences
also everyone s life in general.
the world we live in..
the struggles
death
life
parenthood
finance to survive
sharing
friendship/relationship

then the alternative thoughts....

beautiful
melodically high
strong

>perlmutt< supported by: robag wruhme, timo mass, gregor tresher, chris liebing, dave seamann, paul woolford, john digweed, alexi delano, edu imbernon! dominik eulbergs new traum release >perlmutt< holds two new songs. after >sansula< eulberg has taken another step towards composing exceptional bitter sweet melodies as we can witness in >daten-Übertragungs-küsschen<. his fairylike romantic and gentle melodies are as light as snow flakes and say goodbye to realism. in contrast to the a-side >schnertuppen-regen< keeps an eye on the clubby side of things with rectangular saw tooth sequences, dubby rhythms and back and forth sliding sequences that seem to stem from ancient string instruments and show herewith traces of popular german folk. all of this evokes in us the beautiful and early >acoustic window< phase of mr richard james.

2009 is quite obviously sven tasnadis year, having already released five eps this year on cream-of-the-crop labels like pokerflat, ornaments and liebe*detail. each ep revealed a new facet of the leipziger, riding the nuances between the 4/4 beat. after his ep >down under influence< with juno6 in spring 2009, tasnadi now dishes up his new solo ep on cargo edition. >what we do< is a classic housetrack - very deep and peppered with vocal shots that hold the tension of the track over its whole length. it s smooth, yet deliciously rough around the edges. >amour fou< on the b-side surprises with a very compact rhythm - around the driving bass drum fly percussive elements, all tied together by a reduced bassline, some interspersed vocal samples and deep chords.

after fergies massive >eye of storm / maktub< release, next up on his forward thinking excentric muzik label is the first offering from a new collaboration between two men of the moment, christian smith & reset robot, entitled >elixir<.
>elixir< is a driving monster with one of the catchiest and most addictive hooks of the year, instantly recognisable and is sure to be the highlight of many sets as it has been for fergie over the summer. on remix duties is mr henry von, who runs excentric sub-label rekluse with fergie. his >tribal rage< remix utilises the original hook, adds an interesting array of percussion, then takes the listener on a mind-melting journey full of twists and turns. gary beck (still on a roll after his massive >consumed< on minus) also takes hold of the remix reigns and delivers a deep and hypnotic workout that has already been included on christian smiths forthcoming renaissance compilation he liked it so much.

pt 2 of our very limited (500 copies) vinyl version of this great label retrospective... so much good music on here! comprehensive balihu compilation with tracks from daniel wang et al.

metronomy are back for 2009 with this perfect slice of pop pleasure taken from their fantastically received second album nights out. a multi layered party playlist that gurgles out anthems without pause! a sleeping giant of a dancefloor creeper that will be everyones favourite in approximately six months time. 9/10 nme

taken from the pagliaccio album on moodmusic, filippo moscatello gets the remix treatment from his favourite house heads in the circuit.. quarion rocks houz into a frenzy of stabbing, jacking and deep bass for the full flavoured floor experience, indeed one of his best remixed to date and thats saying something. dirt crew hooligan and old school house head on his own, james flavour takes kleinmond on a trip to nyc about 1993 and slabs phat beats coupled with his trademark stabby keys and the one-note bassline to a late night belter. last but not least trickski shows their genuine talent in transforming houz to a peak-hour sub-120 groover, with live piano and a great chicago inspired groove that makes you yearn for more

2002 release by aidan lavelle (the younger brother of unkles james lavelle) aka mode.

the arctic monkeys much anticipated third effort was co produced by queens of the stone age frontman josh homme and james ford. humbug is a voyage somewhere new - its a richer, darker and more powerul sound. its heavy yet melodic mixing offhand self analysis with verbal assaults. turners charismatic vocals remain centre stage with that sweetening flutter of vibrato. the songs remain stories - fabulously wrought and told, set to thrilling and adventurous music. its a more grown up album of irony, guile, riffs and tunes, yet it still very much the arctic monkeys.

paragraph number 3 delivers some deep, bass-heavy electronic funk on the a-side, with one note samba . grooving from the off-set, the percussive elements of the track wind around a solid and heavy sub bass, introducing dubbed-out horns reminiscent of slam s freelance science days. hypnotic and tripped out, slam return to their house roots.
on the aa room 2 , dedicated to one of the world s best clubs, fabric, where slam hold a residency, keeps with the stripped-down, rhythmic and gritty sound of paragraph. whilst constantly fluctuating echoes and delays control the rhythm of the track, a swirling, yet straight to the point synth creates some frenzied and panic-inducing builds throughout, leading to a wholesome and satisfying ride cymbal. room 2 is a killer, peak-time track that will be sure to induce some serious convulsions on dance-floor.
