maschine number nine integrale - inside features two tracks by solieb. integrale on the a-side is a bleepy pumping track that s filled with small effect and percussion gadgets topped with a melody that takes control from the middle of the track and turns it into a remarkable musical trip. inside on the b-side is a freaky minimal electro slammer with a fat-ass groove and a load of glitch on top getting transformed into an serious floor shaking beast when the bassline comes in

although he keeps his head just under the radar, jon cutler is not exactly against producing really big club tracks when he puts his mind to it. south slope sees him channel his energies into the kind of show stopping tracks that the likes of kerri chandler, dennis ferrer and quentin harris are famed for, but with a deft jazzy touch which they often ignore. the ibadan style groove is bedded in with a wonderful organ solo that serves to take the tune to the next level, while the dub mix drops the organ for a more shelter friendly tool

schoenes, poppig angehauchtes electro album von den knaben, die musikalisch z.b. von depeche mode oder new order oder auch frank sinatra gepraegt sind..

in the wake of raudive aka oliver ho (podium 1) comes amsterdam native shinedoe who with her 2004 debut >dilemma< (on 100% pure) instantly accomplished what others never achieve: respect and support by the likes of väth, hawtin and villalobos. her style: straightforward, strictly functional detroit techno - with an essential and effective touch of soul. as her debut album is expected for september 2006, we may catch a glimpse into the near future with her track >amsterdam meets berlin.< here, she does what she s best at. she uniquely creates atmosphere with just one chord, relying on the power of harmonies. but watch out. when the dreamlike vibe leads to a sudden change of keys, we re all puppets on her strings.

if there is one overall trend to spot in the wide fields of electronic music over the last years, it is the reversion to emotion. in a time where tracks are becoming more and more anonymous tools, melodies, references to pop music and recognition are seen as a design element and not as a blemish. to be honest, this recurrence was desperately needed, because music was always at best when feelings and not the mathematic of clicks were at the centre of attention. soda inc. reached this point of intersection already with their debut album >full moon< one and a half years ago. with intense anthems such as flight su 118 babak shayan and jon silva have created the deepest and most pictorial vision dub related techhouse had to offer to our hearts and souls. a solid basis to build up for the early summer of 2006....

with his stunning releases on raum…musik and steve bug s pokerflat imprint, argy a.k.a. jobim s cousin has earned himself a position as one of today s most promising producers. on cargo edition, the boy from greece shows himself a bit more tool-like - hypnotic percussions drive forward these two excellent dancefloor tracks. comerte (a1) sounds like a bongo band playing live at the gym: this sound reminds us so perfectly of squealing basketball boots, doesn t it? hopefully, your dancefloor is not slippery, either… la revancha del bossa (b2) is a bit less forward, paving the way to daniel stefaniks remix of comerte (b1) with nice bassline action. speaking of the remix - mr. cargo edition himself keeps the crowd driving mad with three minutes of spurring synth modulation. see the people going wild when he finally drops in that redeeming bass drum

mark ernestus, one half of the basic channel, maurizio and rhythm & sound teams, inaugurates our series of reworkings of tracks from tony allens lagos no shaking album. marks mix is not a nowadays style remix, more an extended mix in the classical tradition headed by tom moulton, back in the days when francois kevorkian was his teaboy, and there was a cupboard in his office stuffed with studio one master tapes. marks disco dub is its dub

the return of keynote records! after the great last releases of joris voorn (keynote 011) and arne weinberg (010), its time for a new talent from rotterdam. mark du mosch delivers some sweet tracks between metro area and dan curtin. a stange but sweet mixture between techno and italo.. nice tasty tracks for sure. next releases are already lined up from this guy...so keep an ear open when you hear his name!

the original mix is stripped back to a straight groove consisting of a massive bassline and a synthline, which surely leaves bodies sweating on the dancefloor! french gigolo ludovic delivers some really funky englisch vocals.. i’m sure he doesnt even know what he s really saying (i must to go in paris! i must organize myself! to arrange my clothes and my discs, and i hope that i ll not miss the plane) ??? well, we all had a major laugh when we heard the vocals.. and thats why we love this crazy guy ludovic!

side a tech funk bass fuelled fresh as fresh can be sound. skanky bassline, ska style stabs and techno pads and tripped out synths send ya head way ward.side b takes on the same direction as the a side but comes in with a dreamy old skool vibe vocal to get the ladies excited, it seems to feel a lot faster than it actually is, energy flowing from each kick and snare. dont get the wrong idea when i say this track turns into a floater, were talkin hands in the air smiley dreamy touchy feely break beat! nice!

thomas penton has been in the business for a while now. releasing on various labels he thought it was time for him to do his own label (electric candy records). after he had remixed martin h and inkfish some while ago it was time for martin h to help him out when he opened his own imprint

the debauched team second release gets more offensive. there is a point in the night where the music has to gear up, this is when debauched releases hit the floor. the original mix on the a side is a relentless mixture of dirty electro and stompy house. all very percussive and penetrating in pure debauched style. the b side is an instrumental with a quirkier acid line by 13 kabuki queens (aka cedric)

we were dreaming about rimini and italo boot mixes, when we met this mad professor of italectro in a sleazy berlin neukölln pizza spot. he saved our day with a pearl of a dancefloor sunset. italectro - that´s a smart thing to say and that´s what we wanted. a funky italian 12inch. then tetsuo came and deliverd a nu wave prada dressed remix and added a heartbreak story. so at last frank martiniq was the boxer we needed to punch this track to a cologne style brutzel disco stomp that takes us back to reality

christopher just looks back over his shoulder at the time when a bass used to be called a murderbass, bleeps were meeting clonks and techno was feeding the illusion of the everlasting party. dry beats, being swinged and pushed up cascade-like over the holy disco bass again and again, heralding - by sawtooth and an apocalyptic peal of bells - the ultimate party happiness. dj glow known from his always cool trust imprint delivers a great futuristic robot electro remix from outer space. crazy funky

"aaltopiiri is an album filled with alluring, ambient frequencies and hypnotic rhythms. tracks like kone and kierto stutter and groove, while elsewhere aanipaa and liuos provide lush, addictive pulses. they are often asked what the track & album titles actually mean when translated into english, but as they often invent or combine finnish words the "definitions" become quite vague. for example, a legendary maybe mythological low creeping mist from a particular area of finland or, a variant technological term for a certain aspect of a early radio wave experiments."

new get physical sublabel !! these tracks are powerful and somewhat sinister affairs that make most sense when experienced as a blinding strobe light cuts through the back drop of dry ice in a darkened club.marsha sets a completely different tone. its still based on the same blend of windy city funk and intricate electronic rhythms, but the way that the seductive, chiming chords and dreamy break down unfold over the steely drums suggest that einzelkind has fallen in love. certainly, itll be hard not to be seduced by this layered, evocative track, especially if you hear it after a long night spent listening to intense techno.so there you have it: get physical has dragged a new label, kindisch. kicking and screaming into this world: let it be the place where you go to get all your teenage kicks!

i see you was first featured on global undergrounds afterhours 2 album but has been reworked extensively since then first for sissys forthcoming artist album on gu music all under then for this single mixes by micah steve porter and finally david trusz

huggotron delivers an another mighty weapon for you to use ! the opening track >driven< is a relentless, dramatic backing of severe synths, rising pads and swirling noise. the bass in similarly intense, throbbing away before developing for a melodic break. >gasoline< kicks off with an percussive rhythm before a dark synth and a charismatic vocalsample driving the peace along. its quite a head-turner and should create a bother inside a club when played out. last but not least, you ll find the final installment >are you a killer< wich is a proper straight-up, electrohouse track, tuned by a huge bass witch create an lissome feel and things get ... killed!

the dj and producer is based in charming mont blanc, south france. when hes not busy producing tracks for scandium, ovum, intec or terminal m., hes sitting in front of his desk finalizing business plans for his own soon-to-be-launched label, moovement records. >mon electricien a disjoncte< is a bottom-heavy techhouse track with minimalist, hypnotic funk and a door-scratching break wes craven would be proud of. on the b-side you will find more modern body & soul electro- and ovum-styled quirling acid house with wobbly basslines, which makes it a sweet acid lullaby.. dj support by 3 channels, shinedoe, claude vonstroke and josh wink

rework represents stuttgart to the fullest with this stoicly grooving, reduced funk monster that couldnt be more intense. if you are weak-hearted better stay of the floor when philpot mastermind soulphiction is loosing control chicago style with the boiling >scattered brain<.. the new act neustadt 36 by two boys from up north -zoran zupanic and torsten adam hailing from hamburg - slow it down and inject moody chords, noisy background and abstract disco cut-ups to build up high-tension challenging every suspense flick..

1999 classic release produced by san frandiscos iz (aka joshua/circulation) & chicagos dj diz this deep house anthem is a deep and soulful affair with dubby touches lovely live percussion and an hypnotic feel the satisfaction mix peps and steps things up a bit introducing a 303 bass a new female vox snippet sharper hi hats and a little more action in the mid range instrumentation for the last track the guys drop the tempo down and bring in some cheeky latin sounds and extra acid for an end of ep oddity that sounds like an acid disco track when cranked up to +8

a proto-house italo classic from 1986 with wave-style vocals and thick synthinstrumentation gets unearthed by the skylax team and revived with smashing electro mixes by hardcore striker. the second track from the seminal original 12 >when i let you down< is also included...

as always with block, minimal, electro-ness is what s provided but this time with a subtle class that will simply blow you away. >killaz< slowly builds around an amazing melody, which changes with every turn. but wait till you hear >smoke<. jeeeezus! this is built round the mother of all bass lines and i dare anyone to try and stand still when this is playing

when carl craig dropped the first >tres demented< on us almost a year and a half back we were stunned, now fast forward to 2006 and you guessed it, he is back with another jaw-dropping release! the sound here is dark & twisted with more than a touch of green velvet like on shez satan- check the insane falsetto vocals and head-blowing fx and lyrics. this track is a mission and a half and well worth the ride!! following a nice instrumental comes the b1 >brain freeze< is on the darker techno tip with random voice shouts, drum riffs and druggy acid vibes. the last cut is a pumping dj tool working carl !!!

in a deadly explotion of sub bass tempa let off two loefah bombs loefahs remix of i slams into a deadly sub in a nu school loefah style all condensed darkness and inferred space his remix of monsoon was built two years ago when he was first incubating his halfstep ideas and it takes a full two anticipation building minutes to drop

here is lovely swinging minimal stuff - maybe, taking you away to spheres of… for a sunday, for free, for outdoors - at the water front! and then the question: >when was yesterday?< (a: wann war gestern?), so common in this typical still-awake conversations where nobody knows anymore which yesterday is meant. the yesterday where you slept the last time or the yesterday 24 hours , played by karotte, mandy, steve bug , villalobos, bleed, jambi...

last summers surprise hit from scandal inc. thats a good look gets a hot new rework from thugfucker. originally appearing on coco machete this remix sees the light via coma, the darker more ill-mannered side of coco machete. these mixes take the original b-girl vocals and drop them in over a deep, dark late night groove ready for the big rooms. a thick chicago vamp, 80s drum fills and super sonic synth lines take both mixes straight back to the warehouse. thugfucker, none other than greg oreck and holmar fillipson are two transplants we were lucky to track down to get on this rub. holmar also being one third of new school super-group mr negative knows how to get things dirty for when youre jackin on the corner!

both sides played out and supported by sharam jay! when former techno producer ramon tapia aka >el carlitto< and current dj maxim lany (the sound/culture club) combined forces to create their own sound a new track was born. you can describe it as an elektro - influenced sound with a slight touch of minimal

big with james holden & thomas schumacher !!the a-side will and has already proved to be the perfect dance floor track while the b-side shows a deeper and more serious side of the label. with its funky base line and humoristic build up-break, subaquatic mechanic brings new life in to the myth of atlantis. playing games on the other hand, is techno for the david lynch generation. the atmosphere is so dense you can feel it. yes, you actually feel something when listening to this track. not so very common in dance music today and this is the reason why kontra-musik is here. the finishing track, high voltage monkey, brings it all down before it wraps it all up to a complete product. expect support from: richie hawtin
