since their first releases on circus company and milnormodern the 3 mousketeers achieve to impose themsleves on the scene with their unik touch. the band is clement zemtsov on beat programing, damien vandesande on keyboards and horns at last but not least, jonathan illel is warmly laying the lyrics. after having produced hip-hop instrumental for a few years they got into house music after meeting nicolas from nôze. one year and a half later they come up with between the blues ep, a brilliant first ep on circus company. then the guys several eps on other labels like orac or eklo. they also start touring a lot across europe and eastern countries. this new record is called blanche neige (snow white) as the lead track of the ep. all the lyrics from it are taken from the original text written by jacob & whilelm grimm back in 1812. .blanche neige is declined in two different versions. on the a side comes the original mix is the dancefoor cut. slower house beat, solid groove, surround by a marvelous chior. while the break show upreading the first lines of snow white in french. let me just tell you that when the break is over you should fasten your seat belt before a nice take off… the first track on b side is romeo. this track was produced by dop and nôze. once again all the lyrics are taken from a book. here its from .romeo and juliet written by william shackespeare. this track perfectly represent the alliance of both bands. the unik saxophone skills from damien vandesande the one man horn section, a wonderfull piano ride by nôze and the sexy voice of jonathan illel. an acoustic house blaster ! the ep is finaly closing down on b2 with the pop version of blanche neige called >kinder cut. there comes the deepness

ruede hagelsteins the modest theme has proven to be one of souvenirs most provocative releases so far. released in the summer, the tracks dramatic horn hook is so epic it belongs in a science fiction film and as a piece of forward thinking techno, it ranks among one of souvenirs best. now the track is back with a remix from souvenir spearheads tiefschwarz alongside a new track from berlin based ruede. semikolon is another dark and dubby deep tech-housy outing for ruede that begins with a dramatic spoken word by naneci and ominous organ stabs. as the track progresses it takes on a chicago house vibe re-imagined at 10am in the panorama bar. an urgent bell begins to ring through the track raising the tension as the vocal intones a surreal chant before giving way to huge synth stabs that lead the track into a slow motion emotional explosion. just when things can get any more hectic the crescendo sinks to silence compressing the energy before the beats emerge back in their earlier deep house guise. ali and bast schwarz take their turn at remixing the modest theme fresh from their incendiary remix of emad kamandians kamanche for souvenir 012. the signature dramatic horn riff remains albeit injected with new percussion lending the track a tough tech house appeal that places it within the context of 2008s underground house sound. both tracks are another addition to souvenirs impressive collection of music aimed at the head just as much as they are at the heart and feet.

omanko is the only word that is unmentionable in japanese media and public speech. its also the next single from catz n dogz - a strange hybird of cinematic swells, quirky natural drums and popping guitar plucks. its unorthodox groove builds relentlessly, anchored by a shouting chorus and warm bass bubbles that swell from the depths like some massive ancient sea creature. they take their time building to the climax, finishing the track with late-entering keyboard theme that quickly swirls into a frenzy. perfect for tipping that peaktime crowd over the edge! the italoboyz remix completely remolds the groove to fit their distinctive vision, seamlessly integrating shards from the original into their tension-fuelled agenda. breakdowns of varying sizes dominate the sonic landscape, as their annihilating kick plays hide and seek with the strings throughout the track. finally, all the elements are reunited by the echo-drenched vocal line and percussive baritone sax stabs – a satisfying finale to this latenight masterpiece.

in 2003 after a long period of militance in the illegal rave scene, mr. 3p and nrn (minimal rome) decided to make their own label. they noticed that it was a good moment to expand romes electro-techno scene. it was a simple enough story...they would choose tracks from their friends and publish them, then travel around europe to find shops and/or distribution interested in their stuff. consequently they claim they are mainly inspired by trucks, roads and travelling.acid basslines and hard 808s are the main ingredienst of their style. this means acid inspiration filtered by the latest innovations of technology. classic electro & techno with no messing around. from rome.

continuing to plough further into the depths of the warm yet quirky vibes napt offer up a perfect slice of authentic breakbeat funk with work this out. with a healthy nod to the classic house sounds of early 90’s new york they serve up a huge melodic riff that mutates in true n-funk style into a supremely satisfying jacking multi layered bass work out.

this album is an explosive where energetic pieces cohabit with tracks that are so beautiful that they instantly bring tears to the eyes. the begining of an album in an art form in itself.

jay shepheard, timewriter & dinamoe remixes of the roberto rodriguez classic... while the poor berlin kids are still suffering from psychoses resulting from the 2nd world war, inexorable overindulging the afterhours and for sure will be ashamed of their pictures, they will see of themselves in 25 years...we should talk about good win

the second release of audio parish records comes from men in trees. men in trees is a new producer/dj- duo from germany. they provide us with with percussive and groovy house tunes. the first ep comes as a 2-tracker. >rita cala prada< on the flip starts with a massive groove, with pretty good drums and a crazy dialogue between three spanish people. than the track is growing up with a deep male vocal. >planet calypso< impresses with crunchy percussion and an uplifting bassline. funky horns and jazzy trompets filled this track with a balearic feeling… welcome to planet calypso! this is an ep with two funky tribal tracks that makes you curious.

darkos productions have attracted the attention of djs from all over the world. his remix of the title track of nina mirandas (smoke city) album shrift in 2005 was one example, earning him critical acclaim when the remix reached the top 10 in the us download charts. more recently mr rakas has joined darko and his strange worlds collective. together they have embarked on a musical mission, blending deep minimal house and techno with eastern european romani gypsy jazz. simplicity is the operative word best to describe this release. the over sexed sax solo of sexaphone (a one take wonder performed by ben hadwen) takes house music to a new level, whilst danote on the other hand reflects on the hypnotic repetition of the hook, building a solid groove around a repeating synth line, appearing here in two versions, the stripped back extended mix and the more immediate club edit. another great release from the up, coming and one to watch label universal vibes.

de hey s brand of techno always has funk and this enables his music to be played by a wide range of dj s. >finally man< and >we re fucking hi< are two massive groovy dancefloor burners, get em while they re hot!

this is quite simply one of the most glorious records you will hear this year. it would be easy to lazily reference it against classic period rephlex/planet mu stuff (oops, i just did!), and indeed it appears to share some of the same heritage (even going so far as to feature a remix of rephlex artist global goon in its tracklisting) - but chris leary aka ochre is obviously a man on his own mission. gorgeously lush, but at the same time super-funky…as electronic as kraftwerk starring in a remake of tron, yet somehow as pastoral and organic as edward elgar…much like his label-mate ed chamberlain, leary manages that tricky task of being supremely technical in his programming and arrangements, but without losing the heart and soul of the music amidst all the studio trickery. you know that old chestnut often said when referring to vintage or classic music, >they dont make them like that any more<? well they do…and here it is! simply fantastic.

vinyl only release !! no digitally download !! played by 2000 and one, efdemin, jamie jones, loco dice, laurent garnier.-... following bruno pronsatos latest fantastic album >why cant we be like us<, we are more than happy to get with >nobody calls< another timeless pearl on hello?repeat. on the title track bruno worked this time with his very good friend caro (aka randy jones), and together they delivered a truely magical vocal track. on the flip side youll find a fairly dirty track called >where’d you learn to kiss that way<. again bruno manages to create a record with his very unique atmosphere. deep. reduced. glorious. pronsato

there is certainly not enough space to tell you all the great things about move d we would love to share with you. being the musical mind behind the legendary source records imprint, david moufang has always been a versatile and prolific character. from ambient soundscapes to krautrocky epics, jazz sensibilities or straight up techno and house, he has done it all with his own special and unique touch. this lovely fingerprint is spread all over the “cube ep . intended as a tribute to heidelberg’s finest club night of the same name (don’t mix it up with that other square project!) , move d shots two arrows straight into your heart. “cube” is one of those stripped down hypnotic affairs that seem to go on forever and ever just to surprise you with a nice breakdown, before it’s groove sucks you in again. we guess this is what people mean, if they talk about the beauty of simplicity. “heidelberg gals” flips the script in three parts with an old school approach and turns into a monolithic house monster with a bassline to boot. panache! bust a move d!

following up from his widely acclaimed ep for workshop and his first solo-ep on mikrodisko, two new tracks emerge from the abyss that is kassem mosses studio, striking fear and awe in the hearts of mastering engineers. aqueous haze, his new ep for mikrodisko, starts with >no peace no love no unity<, an 808 driven stomp through landscapes of derelict synths buried in vintage and broken device chains. the track finishes off with a brief reminder of the past. the sixties? the seventies? they never sounded anything like this. >578< on the flip is out on a roll, straight ahead, not turning back, pushing towards a better tomorrow. the utopia that time forgot. we call it techno

class71 return to the constantly in-form four:twenty following the diamond door/seaphone 12 debut which won fans of just about every decent house dj around, and what a follow up it is! alba adriatica is a 13 minute excursion in to detroit flavoured house and is as subtle as it is memorable. a rounded bassline provides the movement while delicate, dubby fx create a hypnotic vibe which underpins a blissful live saxophone and rising keys. the summer is not over yet. always being attentive to djs needs, four:twenty have also included a dub for the saxo-phobes and if that wasnt enough, they bring in the legendary move d for further mixes. with a back catalogue which includes celebrated labels such as modern love, uzuri, city centre offices and liebe*detail, move d is the toast of underground house music and has delivered a vocal and dub mix of impeccable standards. utilising the fm bass and bringing the chords up in the mix, mr. d (as nobody calls him) creates a densely layed percussive dub mix which provides a perfect kickless track for creative djing while his vox mix adds both kick and some sparse but beautiful vocal touches. this is another winner from a label which continually searches out fresh talent and is more than worthy of your attention
