here at the exprezoo headquarters we like to keep looking forward and to search for new and undiscovered talents, but we also like to go back to the sounds of our roots and, its not a secret, we are in love with neapolitan techno. blend these ingredients, stir for a while, and voila the fourth release on our catalog, by rio padice. actually, the kid isnt really a new one, since he s already had releases on welt,mosaiko, metroline limited and exprezoo digital besides being half of the new and hyped horacio project along with massi dl, but hes part of the new generation of neapolitan producers who keep going down the path started by marco carola and danilo vigorito. the a-side, don dragone, has a techno mood that we didnt feel for some time and that takes us back to when hardgroove was leading the dancefloors, updating and actualizing its sounds, while on the b-side elm street is made to satisfy the classiest tastes, taking the atmosphere towards a good-for-every-purpose dub techno. the last track on the ep, leviatano, keeps up the feeling we fell in love with on question and zenit, with funky percussions and sunny, warm synths.

>all tracks are great! will definately play it... pianos on the beach is amazing.<
- robin (david gilmour girls)
>yeah, as i said, i think its your best edit 12 so far. the choice of tracks is great, >pianos on the beach< is the kind jam youd like to hear on a dancefloor late at night, i guess this could have been played by francis grosso or mancuso. same for >look at you<, fantastic track, very emotionnal, whis has something of an anthem. keep on sending me such a thing. (btw, i m a fan of canyons label, great stuffs)<
-cosmo vitelli
>this is the kind of release that makes me excited to dj again...and again. theres something here for the beginning, middle, and end of a great night.<
-alex frankel (holy ghost!)
>loving that piano jam mister renault - perfect to drop just when you have em where you want em towards the end!<
-jim stanton (horse meat disco)
>nice one jacques, sounding good man!<
-mark e
>mr. renault is on a roll!!!!! seeing as everyone and their mother is doing edits these days, it comes as no surprise than the man takes it to the proverbial next level with this ep.<
-my cousin roy (wurst music)
>love these - more great edits from jacques. have been playing them out with great results!<
-prince language

igor jadranin aka en-tropic signs his new ep – >between two extremes<, for the record label underground limited.this release clearly proves igors unmatched talent and maturity in music production. the lead theme of this ep >between two extremes< – a very deep and powerful theme, carefully broken by rhythm and still a gentle and emotional jazzy looped composition – is surely my personal favorite from this release.cooperation with marko vukovic is embodied in the track >back again< – a minimal deep house filled with rhythm, not the kind of rhythm produced by percussions and other drumming instruments but rather by a cut vocal and dirty synth, which breathe soul into this theme.
>zero loss circuit<, which has an expressed club spirit, is the ideal piece for building an atmosphere in a club. igors music definitively deserves a spot on every good djs list.
(zoran petkovski review)

back in the day, when i discovered the music from reggie dokes and the psychostasia label i felt something similar as when i listened for the first time the music from lil louis at the end of the 80s. i mean... is this music really house? it must be because all the good househeads play and respect his stuff... perhaps just for that different and unique way of make house...

this is the first production by kenneth christiansen, dj, producer and label boss of echocord. he teams up with his good friend dennis bog, which is known for his unique label baum and baum ltd plus his own productions as resoe.
>ofetriade< is a powerful techno-track, can remind of marcel dettmann and mathew jonson. the remix is made by ben klock from berlin, owner of klockworks and resident at berghain. amazing peaktime techno!
>synthese< is a mixture of dubstep and techno - for the fans of deadbeat, martyn and peverelist.

blackstrobe are back from beyond. their newest dance floor gems are a foray back into the darkest realms of disco with their unique blend of boogietrance, softgoth, gaybiker house music. on their latest release they employ deep gothy hooks that match perfectly with a nostalgic italo flair and dark disco pulses. dancefloor zombies and casual listeners should find these retro-futurist tracks akin to the worlds of john carpenter and the twilight zone. trevor jackson >great release< // chloé >good tracks, will play them< // dj hell >great single<

super strong package !! played by richie hawtin, loco dice, joris voorn, anja schneider, laurent garnier, timo maas, butch, audiofly, deetron…
after some remix and not badly of time to prepare its new releases. acumen is back on his own structure. meanwhile, he was elected best newcomer of the year2009 by richie hawtin. all that we can say is that we are very proud. acumen presents its new ep, >collection part 1<.

the beekeepers are the latest signing to the j funk family joining kraak & smaak, skeewiff, smoove & turrell, dr rubberfunk, soopasoul, max sedgley and all good funk alliance on the jalapeno roster. with stable mates like that there was only one way the bee funk ep was gonna go - a mixture of upfront party breakbeat hip hop and one of the most beautifully widescreen ambient breakbeat tracks since clubbed to death.

the titel track rush me fuses the steinbergian house style with the lo-fi charm of the roaring 20s. it comes over slightly poppy but with a very relaxed and laid back groove. steinberg at his best! format:bs rush me remix, that has been reduced to the original vocals comes over trippy and with a good dose of bongos making it into a grooving party track. steinbergs es la vida is an elegant reduced tech house beauty. the rhythmic, percussive vocals hit on a very monotone but kicking bass line. a touch of a warm night by the sea in spain! format:bs interpretation of es la vida concentrates on the vocals and some of the percussion from the original, and combines steinbergs basics with a hypnotic synth-structure that boils up in the last third of the track until it finally explodes! all tracks arent scared to admit that theyre aiming for the peak time. 4* different styles. kick ass!

pushing the envelope even further and blurring the lines between jazz, funk, trip hop and soul - carte blanche 2 aims to please with its unique blend of rhythms suited to the most discerning tastes of todays music connoisseur!

third release for fabio giannellis label, this time from the italian santorini, that proposes his next strike after having released eps on labels like upon you, bond and his own recycle records. to complete the release there are two very good remixes from uner & coyu (dyinamic, great stuff) and ues (resopal / blabla). have a good listen!

after a serie of very well selling techhead releases, this will be selling even more! a.paul with a solo release on this greek label. he is famous for his well crafted uplifting techno that works so good on the dancefloor. driving beats and subtle edits are the key to success for this portugees mastermind! watch out for things to come...

for the fourth release on maxi discs our italian friends ajello jump on board and deliver a red hot slice of feel good house music.

brand new ep on qalomota records. we proud to present you a new producer. directly influenced by the dance culture party from club djoon. dj steaw dj/producer from the city of rennes (brittany, france), bring us this ep. a good piece of deep, soulful, cluby and arfo influence, just create to feed the housedancers and househeadz. you will able to recognize the old skool feeling like nervous records or nu groove and also feel the touch of the more recent procucers like ralf gum, culoe de song, marlon d, dennis ferrer... first but not the last ep on qalomota records for sure...

supported by kollektiv turmstrasse, kombinat1000, someone else!! matching the cold season in northern europe, acker records extends its collection with a beautiful just as functional ear warmer. designed by the gents carsten rausch and ferdinand laurin from the city of trier, this acoustic accessory convinces in even four aspects. on the one side, the warm sounds of shout can be found, a really inspiring track that develops certain trancy qualities with its throughout melodic character and some pretty trippy delay experiments. after that, the pleasant boost is taken up by quattrow, here the anyway outrageous groove of the lower frequency spectrum is raised to the stakes by a casual and housey motive. this track is redesigned by the dudes of rundfunk3000 on the other side, they serve it on crunchy and highly energetic rhythms and spice it up with their typical, playful instrumental entries. finally, the tribe is also pretty much straight forward and again scores with warm feel-good sound that dives into intoxicating depths.

double vinyl with etching on side d.

side a true feel good summer tech house tune that sets incredible atmosphere with wonderful female vocals and a great clubby arrangement. played by: joris voorn, r.hawtin, anja schneider, gel abril, coyu, osunlade, nick holder, jimpster, nils nuernberg

for the second cassius records and to carry on with the youth speed, trouble, cigarettes adventure we give you four remixes done by talented producers across europe from milano italy… reset! we met the three kids from reset! in magazinni generale while playing, their set was powerfull but also full of respect and influences from hip hop, soul and dance music in general, we finished our sets back to back and since this day love them their trouble mix could have been done by the jbs if they were still twenty something and into house music… it rocks and never stopsno use to present the music from radio slave, the big difference with a majority of other producers is that we both can recognise his tracks in a few bars only, also in the way it streches to crazy length and takes you in a trance that could have come directly from lagos in 1973 matt embrace the same philosophy we all cherish at cassius records the no boundarys way hes more than minimal, more than electro more than techno he stripped down ystc to the max and his remix played at the good time on a good system is a true chicagoan infused gem then after chaos

a classically-trained jazz virtuoso and national rock n roll hero in argentina, gutis double 12inch pack for desolat will leave you in no doubt of his ability to twist a snaking groove into something echoingly hypnotic. the tracks contained here are already a favourite in the record boxes of artists like loco dice, carl cox and marco carola, while gutis life story could itself be the subject of a story by jorge luis borges: >i leave to several futures (not to all) my garden of forking paths<. just two years after his first live sets in europe, desolat is proud to present gutis las cosas que no se tocan. the beats follow guti across continents: mr good vibes was composed in a hotel room in stuttgart after an argument with a friend, while the serious dancefloor vibes of sasa, the hustler and ieuuu were channelled in martinez studio. ieuuu and the hustler feature slices of glamorous, haunting vocals by jayson walker, a british singer that guti discovered on myspace. and sasa boasts gutis own vocal touches. meanwhile, the track aguanile is inspired by one of his favourite melodies as a child, one that he’s collected many versions of. the last track on the release, el campeon, reaches a bittersweet ending in the wide open space between percussive trills and a cut-out refrain, inspired by gutis favourite latin storylines of broken hearts and pain.

first extract from the album of one of the most talked about electro act of the moment. including remixes from john talbot (recomended old skool feel good...)

the eleventh episode of disco deviance comes straight out of liverpool in the uk from the emerging talent that is cosmic boogie. starting out as a collective (inspired by local dj legend greg wilson) based around the cosmic boogie website, which is dedicated to pushing groove based music and knowledge about the scene, cosmic boogie has developed into a dj persona and quality imprint in its own right.

badmotorfinger got lost amid the blockbuster success of nevermind and ten (all were released around the same time). but the fact is that, though they re all great records, badmotorfinger is much less accessible by comparison. not that it isnt melodic, but it also sounds twisted and gnarled, full of dissonant riffing, impossible time signatures, howling textural solos, and weird, droning tonalities. its surprisingly cerebral and arty music for a band courting mainstream metal audiences, but it attacks with scientific precision. part of that is due to the presence of new bassist ben shepherd, who gives the band its thickest rhythmic foundation yet and, moreover, immediately shoulders the departed hiro yamamotos share of songwriting duties. but its apparent that the whole band has greatly expanded the scope of its ambitions. and badmotorfinger fulfills them, pulling all the different threads of the bands sound together into a mature, confident, well written record. this is heavy, challenging hard rock full of intellectual sensibility and complex band interplay.

quintessentials is celebrating its 10th release with a compilation of deep, raw and real house music! splitted in 2 parts, >deep, raw and real< features some of the hottest producers around presenting their vision of current house music. part 1 features exclusive tracks by motor city drum ensemble (unstoppable with his own label and countless top remixes), anton zap (the quintessentials homie with a deep dubby track), knarf skipson (still in good shape after his latest 12 inch) and kasper (another top newcomer and name to watch). we say too: thanks for purchasing a real copy! part 2 coming soon: jagged, the zohar, stl, vakula

kraken are rolling again, with their second release in as many weeks (check out krkn009), and its good to have the denmark based dons back! very little is known about a side artist and la resident jaybird, but im sure plenty of people will be on the hunt for info after this little number drops. absolutely relentless, crushing dubstep music, a refreshingly nasty little number reminiscent in atmosphere to one of krakens earliest releases eye of the demon by wolfman (jsl), this tune is currently tearing up clubs worldwide, with support from 2000f and notably featuring on hatcha & crazy ds kiss fm radio show, you re gunna love this one! legendary kraken artist jsl pops up on the flip with a brand new beat, kept relatively under wraps this one comes out of nowhere and smacks is straight round the chops like kimbo slice! act quickly on this one, it wont last.
