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....

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!

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!

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..

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 !!!

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

nice price deal !!! w.a.n.a. is a fresh sounding electro-house cut which refers a lot to the sound of producers like dj t, marco passarani, francisco or even the hacker, cool electro spheres put on solid house beats. the b-side features a wicked mike monday remix, who has gained growing support over the last year with his great productions on freerange and his own label playtime with hits like which day is it?, tooting warrior or buttfunk. this remix has a mega dirty pumping bassline that leaves the floor in a devistated state especially after the climaxing break when the strings come in. a great rocker this one

what a back to back classic !!! aim to the dancefloor re-edit of two disco/funk stormer… a side is a huge dj baldelli / dj harvey (and anyone with two ears in good working condition) classic… when italodisco meets proper big room appeal… one of these tracks you cant not dance to, hands in the air, and smile on your face… this re-edit, by french master >dylan<, has been around on cd for some time and championned to death with the like of dimitri from paris…b side is a lesser known disco groover, from one of the most famous 70s king of funk and jazz. re-edit, this time by >mel&nico<, cuts out the original voices to get straight to the core of the dub part for total, uncompromising, dancefloor effect… heavy heavy heavy

another sureplayer (record of the week in recent dj magazine). the boogie drama mix is thrillingly intense with a bumpty dark and open produced electro vocoder sound aestetic you can just not get enough of. dazzling, irritating,forward thinking cool future clubmusic. there was a time when such good music was coming from america, people named danny tenaglia or pierre for example where able to do it.now listen to what they are and do these days and how 20 somethings from milano italy are taking over where they stopped in 95. stunning. sasse s mix again doe not dispappoint at all again. hes fast becoming one of europe s hottest house produers, someone who has the ability to effortlessly craft authentic italo and sleazy wild pitched acid house. top!

the vinyl format with the new exclusive tracks from first audiomatique mix cd splits over two separate 12inches. am10 is the second volume 1.2 including 3 exclusive tracks by newcomer cdjjj and 2 well known producers. cdjjj is giancarlo giusti, a newcomer from barcelona. playmate is a deep, dark & heavy techno-piece with a punching kick and eerie acid synths. alexi delano, known also for his a.d.n.y. or adjd rec., needs no further introduction. here he teams up with fernando gullon of the sindicato crew. when it rains in madrid is a highly seductive fleetfooted track with great sounds. huggotron aka john dahlbäck contributes a dark acid piece with broken vocals

>method to madness< kicks like a mule from second one with oldschool handclapping beats and rattling percussion and when those strings set in, the sensitive ones should better protect their behind, cause they announce the sledgehammer bassline - and all this is only the beginning of a crazy, twisting and turning wildpitch ride. for >paddy system< chris carrier is on the controls solo and will have you shake your money maker with a slightly latinesque b-boy style beat - somethin that you might expect from kenny dope - but then adds a these chugging, whipping synth chords for a good tech-house spank

crusty broken beats with laaarge subs and dope breakdowns the combination of ragga dancehall broken beats and soulful vocals has never sounded better on the b side we get another winner when zumen swings a dark and techy broken beat monster that comes with a slight samba touch (sb)

it should be indicative of how big or influencial a genre is becoming when you start getting dubstep records from sweden probably one of the least grimey countries on this planet apart from issues of genre politics musically this ep has got nothing lesser in comparison to its uk counterparts its dark dirty and not shy to pile up those bass frequencies and its hard not to notice those arabic undertones going on through the whole record (sb)

south terminus gets you warmed up with a shuffle rhythm but a mean frizzling acidic synth line like a steel whip and a nervously knocking percussive sounds punch the rhythm more and more into a straighter pattern - when the tune finally falls into a 4/4 beat after the break and the acid line completely bubbles over its pure mayhem. 'clubbanger' on the b-side gets underneath your skin more subtely: headbangin tech-boogie with suspensefull, slightly claustrophobic string backings and robotic voice snippets. label head clement opts in his remix for a punk-funk slant with cool dangling bassline and snotty rhyhtm guitar wrapped up in foggy synth sounds

mystic and spiritual electronica dedicated to the memory of terence mickenna !!
