(cari lekebusch & mohan das rmxs) shaman has a nice type of soft impact... it somehow manages to add energy to the crowd without being louder than the track before it. to the tired ears of veteran djs, thats a rare pleasure.

legends of the uk house music circuit, faze action deliver a truly outstanding remix by managing to maintain the original mix elements but putting them together in a sequence only faze action know how. they simply add some live funked up percussion and keys to die for - giving you this excellent re rub to compliment the stripped back disco slickness of dannys original mix. put on your dancing shoes, saturday nights are never going to be the same again!

axel karakasis once more unleashes his talents and demonstrates his skills in the piranha e.p. in the first track on the main side, the techno wizkid mightily combines a set of systemshaking loops and detroitfunklike piano keys that escalate into a crazy pitching, distortion not to be messed with! add to these some powerful percussion and ominus snares, together with karakasis trademark filter spins and twists and its an epic track that stands out on its own. bloody chamber alternates between nocturnal basslines, vicious subbass and high-pitched synths that are spinetingling. here, axel flirts with electro but you can always rely on him to bring in some serious groove: the result is solid, coherent and the track is something more than special!! the remain side proves equally mindblowing and. flesh eating! piranha is a stunner, adorned with aggressive drums, booming beats and odd sounds throughout the track. once again, it is axels energetic style that comes through, making this track a powerful club tool

dje lean aka confetti bomb has worked for a very well respected london record store for 9 years. hes also been a dj & live performer since the mid - nineties and has put these combined experiences into creating a unique form of stripped down, deep techno. his fever ep for london label underl_ne was featured on the uks bbc radio one and received extensive dj support at the highest level. he also features in the juno records 10th anniversary remix series with a peak time re work of carl craigs detroit experiment classic think twice. his debut ep for autoreply features an appearance from one of his favourite producers jerome sydenham who takes time out from his hectic dj schedule & ibadan label duties to provide us with a truly timeless mix of 10 second detox. with its persistent rolling percussion & warm deep pads the mix satisfies all senses. a short interlude follows this in the form of 5 second detox - created using an atari st & beat up yamaha sampler. this is the perfect tool to start or end your set with or to add your own beats to. the choice is yours. on the aa side we have 20 second detox - big sounding hooky techno featuring crisp percussion & analog synths incorporating long warm beatless periods with bursts of pounding drums. this track teases you until the mid section where it goes off all guns blazing. finaly detox is a lofi housy workout which has been described to us as troy pierce meets inner city...sounds interesting huh? drop the needle on it & make up your own mind.

venezuelan producer argenis brito graces us with his sophomore cadenza release, the imminent ep. renowned for his role as lead vocalist for senor coconut as well as his collaborative projects with artists as decorated as luciano, pier bucci, jay haze and samim, the multi-talented argenis solo work comes with some pedigree. resident in berlin since 2004, his distinctly latin interpretation of house is a step ahead of the game, with prior releases on junion and cadenza animating floors with that inimitable south american fervour. title track >imminent< is a playful affair,with bouncing bass and a shimmering synth melody dancing around the kick. intoxicating and funked up, the melodies call and respond in a fragmented conversation while pulsing echoed tones add depth to the mix. >mind body soul< stutters into a complex percussive pattern, coloured by warm keys and blocks of bass tone. funky is the word, as a distorted vocal directs bodies to the floor. deep and immersive, dark melodic synth movements plunge us into a sweaty and cathartic house hole. on the flip, >lolipop< combines electro and house elements into one cheeky dance with the devil. bubbling bass flows under cascading melodic synth, as fat percussion crunches around sharp vocal bursts. slick and futuristic, this is for that time of the night where looking backwards is not an option.closing the ep, >unreality< is as deep as they come. warm and uncompromising key stabs pulsate over a no-nonsense bass drive, accented by harmonising clav tones. living up to its moniker, the resonant melodies and hypnotic pace conspire to transcendental effect.

for the 25th release on recognition, one of the premiere polish export goods, label boss jacek sienkiewicz teams with a longtime friend, and extraordinary musician, chilean maestro pier bucci. both have been playing together for some time now, and this debut studio recording hopefully will not be the last. despite obvious cultural differences, both artists share some curious sensibility and/or sort of modern romanticism - underpinned either with latin optimism (bucci) or a kind of slavic melancholy (sienkiewicz). add to this the dopest tech-house beats available today, and dancefloor destruction is guaranteed.the title track is a cross-genre time bomb, obviouslydesigned to mess with the heads while the bodies can t stop moving. kicking off with driving, solid beat of almost live feel, soon it develops into a symphony of carefully crafted and meticulously assembled sounds. we are treated by some strange woodwinds, jokingly reminding of jacek s previous hit outing, beacon , and... is this the pope we hear talking for a moment...? …

dj pierre kicks off the creators of deepness label with a massive tune, made to raise the roof of any club. on the flip phuture 303 add their own amount of underground funk.

part 2 of the simple, maybe release reveals the dark side of the brothers schwarz. yeah ought to be taken literally. batten down the hatches and turn up the volume, here comes a true masterpiece. naturally, tiefschwarz have saved the banger until last. there are not many tracks out there, which make you get up and dance after two bars already. the basis of yeah is a perfectly orchestrated drum beat. a steady bass drum, rolling toms, a crisp snare, all together powered by a low-pitch synth sample in the background. a sound, that is as offensive and sentimental as possible at the same time. add a well-filtered choir sample on top and you get a deepness and amplitude that can only be mastered by the finest soundsystems on the planet. like looking through a burning glass, the break shows what tiefschwarz are really all about with this track: gradually, all sound elements are shut down, overlayed by white noise that comes with goosebumps guarantee. this spring, youll better be on the dancefloor, when the drums set in again! deininger on the b-side is an almost gloomy track, driven by a dark deep-house bass line. once again, tiefschwarz play with a wide range of elements: an off-beat synth wind section, dry tinker bells and sliced vocals, well-orchestrated by a fine mix. all together this creates the perfect atmosphere for a monday morning sun rise. exhausted, dried-out, longing for your bed and a glass of water, yet at the same time not wanting to go home. great music got soul, the perfect balance, that keeps the heart pumping and the body dancing. deininger is about this certain temper, the groove, that makes you carry on.

number 18 comes out as a hamburg homerun. well known label-talent diffus presents a dense and atmospheric kellergeist while soukie & windish add an uplifting and housy touch to the heart of that surprising tune

nice price deal !!! keshno and mr. ride morph the breakz on a-side to a fat breakbeat smasher and on the flip they add some tempo and do it the drum-and-bass-way.

sonic, one of the busiest german house-djs, teams up with multi-talent taste t for the 2nd time on amused records. on >eighty eight< they express their musicality by using acoustic sounds in an electronic base frame. a piano plays the leading part and gives the track its name with regard to the 88 keys of this instrument. once heard you will not get this melody out of your head! on the flip the stereodudes add a stronger drumming and a powerful bassline that kicks ass!

in the 4th of their versus-series belgian label quatermass this time teams up with kitty-yo for some great collaborations that explore more of our sonic universe.

scaring us all the way from sofia, bulgeria spatula city is proud to present to you the technologically advanced technique of the one like the kink. snapping off his first spatula city release with three dancefloor scorchers, this record is not to be missed. jigga is just a straight up bassline balancing act that just drives. on dat funk and check he collaborates with eclectic vocal stylings of austin, txs j.a.m.o.n. both tunes are jump up flex on the floor devastators. kinks techy vibe and robotlike control over j.a.m.o.n.s vocals creates a sound unlike any other artist in the scene. his tech savvy jack infused style cannot be compared to. just when you think one of these tunes is going off the deep end, it turns around and jacks you right in the face! and...just for funks we had kink add two accapella tools which are super easy to mix and sound great over any jackin beats.

original mix, big beats and massive vibe make the original a real dance floor monster. with an almost house vibe its hard to accurately classify, though ticking nearly all the boxes for a trance smash with awesome build ups and breakdowns. michael cassette remix, inventing their own style which you might call a kind of retro progressive house house the cassette boys never fail to impress with their big room sounds. this remix is certainly not an exception to the rule with aggressive beats and groovy oldskool sounds. store n forward remix, well whats left to say about the snf guys when everything they do is just awesome? another solid remix to add to their portfolio, a progressive sound of gritty basslines and trance euphoria.

this time metamorphic recordings is in full on boundary pushing mode with a new sound from dan curtin. techno always has been and always will be about taking risks and going where no one has gone before and this ep, facts is right there. modern techno that will work for djs playing the gamut of techno, tech house, house, minimal and more. vocalist jason byers from cleveland based rock band disengage worked side by side with curtin to add a powerful vocal touch to the intense musical journey presented here. to all you djs working hard to keep it real, to move forward, to advance our scene, and to have a voice of your own, this one is made for you!

the mysterious syrinx came to us out of nowhere. his tracks sound as if he has been around for a long time, maybe he has. we were pleasantly surprised with the standard of his music. deep, melancholic and building dub techno, just as we like it. though keeping the tradition alive (model 500, chain reaction etc), he does add his own vibe to this genre. nice! this is volume one out of two. both releases will come in matching artwork...

dj sneak is back on robsoul with a classic release.the original filter man takes us back to the era of his famous polyester ep .add to this a phil weeks remix and you got an essential release. dancefloor music with soul and feelings

stewart rowell & louis gaston are otherwise known as the streetlife djs with over 30 years turntable experience between them, and a blatant disregard for music genres! the rules are, there are no rules! they add samples, accapellas & sound fx to the equation. compliment that with some of the most cutting edge electronic dance and alternative and the result is something exciting and very refreshing. the pair lives in london, is resident at together and also plays at ministry of sound, renaissance, the end, chibuku shake shake, gatecrasher summer soundsystem, ibizas space, get loaded, gobal gathering etc. the track will be featured on the much expected kitsuné maison 6 compilation out in october with a club version on the b-side, this new tracks from the english superproducers is sure to be the falls dancefloor anthem

nice price deal !!! this synth driven monster has had a very broad appeal even getting picked up by tiesto! to complete the package, two ace remixes by add2basket & interplay / jerry ropero & michael simon are added!!

these hand-picked tracks are now available on a dj-friendly 2-sided-4-tracks-vinyl-ep and let me tell you, they are well worth the extra investment. the first of the bunch starts off with big man lexys fancy girl, an ever-growing minimal techy peak-time-pusher with a hushed vocal-sample, some anaologue signal sounds and a futuristic and pumping beat. add a great distorted melody to this on the breakdown and the dancefloor will thank you for putting this on: they will go mental! after this introduction, its the newcomers mickey monzza & joseph discos turn with their equally stimulating track lonely. this is a great modern piece of pumping dub techno with a straight-forward attitude. the hi-hats on this tune are mesmerezing, the clappy snares and sirens perfectly placed and the subtle dubby and groovy melody an ideal antithesis to this hectically moving tune. simply nice! but hold on, there is more to come. on the flip there is hamburgs house impressario h.o.s.h. with his track ben johnson and whether this title is a reference to the legendary sportsman or not, its a pretty record-worthy track: wonderful little stabs and vocal sounds and a bassline so warm and groovy it makes your heart melt. then when the breakdown hits you with its long and winding signal sound, the dancefloor will already be bathing in a floor filled with sweet happiness. this is truely delicious! the two newcomers and residents at hive club in zurich animaltrainer have the honour to finish off this ep with their oily tech-house-anthem talkshow, a superb main-floor-peak-time-melody-affair.

volume two from mcedits shows a slight expansion of his concept, but mostly hews true to the rows he hoed on volume one. his method is basically to take lovely ballads and slow jams and add a little house heat. its really remarkable how such a simple methodology can produce such effective results but the proof is in the grooves so drop the needle on these for some rich rewards.

nice price deal !!! slow to speak triumphantly returns from their self-imposed hiatus to refurnish the label gears, reignite the promotional engine & proceed forward full-steam with their latest release, a limited one-sided 12, pressed on 180 gram vinyl with japanese obi and featuring an exclusive sample from the forthcoming second installment of joe claussells >trans.late< mix cd compilation series. nrsb 5 s only dictate is to follow the uncharted. revolving around a determined synth loop, it transforms as it unfolds and reassembles, returning with new determination as it obsessively revisits its own chosen refrain under the skilled hand of the producers manipulative shape shifting. never static, always moving, dodging its own melody to return with the same body beneath a new costume, the rigid, unyielding control remains intact, as each second serves a precise purpose in its masterfully assembled, inter-reliant structure: a beautiful whole, completely unified in its chaotic infinity. add to basket

a standout track for us is >fantasy<, which was never released on 12inch but despite this has been a djs favourite for over 30 years. the lush layering of instruments and percussion create a track that sounds as fresh today as it would have in 1975. after citing this as one of their favorite records of all time, faze action took this track and have given us some excellent edits which add extra dancefloor elements while keeping the integrity of the original

after the success of the last drumpoet community remixes 12inch for jamie lloyd, australian label future classic returns with another selection for djs in tune with the deep end of the dancefloor. westpark unit (herb lf and ingo sänger) are the founders of the excellent farside imprint from dortmund germany. in addition to their farside releases including 2007 hit >jeepah<, westpark unit have contributed productions to top imprints such as dessous, stir 15 and stormed playlists of steve bug, djinxx and rocco to name a few. hooking up with future classic in cologne in 2007 the bond was cemented, with the >bar of choice< ep further building westpark units reputation for extremely deep, highly playable and musical productions already in the playlists of jimpster, Âme, motorcity soul, lars behrenroth and the warm hq in london. jimpster (freerange): new future classic is awesome mate!! need to play it out!! Âme (innervisions): really like it! c-rock (motorcitysoul / cocoon): wicked ep! directly in my set erik (giant step): i’m really feeling the bar of choice ep (will definitely add to my personal chart for the coming month)… >bad weeds grow tall< and >goin steady< are my favs!! ric mcclelland (urbantorque): bad weeds no. 2 in chart asli (farside / thugfucker): brilliant stuff! lars behrenroth: would fit perfectly in my set

phonogenics >postcard< is slow burner, building and rising to a eventual climax of melancholic underwater deepness. this song will no doubt be played by those in the later time slots and anyone who wants to add a little journey to their mixes. our main man dex aka dave barker is back with another slice of some quality melodic quirky goodness. >yikes!< has a very chopped up funk/soul feel mixed with solid house beats. studio trickery and a hidden japanese opera helps the track evolve from its soulful beginning to another world entirely. finally, we are very pleased to bring you the first of many musical efforts from amantu wilde. not much is known about amantu as he is a bit of a recluse and does not offer up much information about himself. >g-g-got my eyes on you< is a very retro sounding track reminiscent of some classic new wave jams. pseudo industrial percussion and excellent filter work make this track something to remember. something strange for sure but we think people will like the break from the mod rn sounds

first single to be lifted from the forthcoming lp is a flawless representation of some of the freakishly danceable tracks contained therein. a wholly original mashup of electronics, my heart rate rapid is sheer falsetto laden, drum battering brilliance. although metronomys elliptical, insidious, multi coloured art pop sounds nothing like colognes legendary purveyors of prog disco, can do offer clues to the lineage the band belong to. add early brian eno, sparks, devo, talking heads, soft cell, and then scratch your head for more recent examples of abstract music, full of experiment, risk, and individuality that somehow resolves itself into pop that makes you sing and dance and feel like a big kid and you realise that you cant think of any, because metronomy are, in the current pop milieu, an utterly unique proposition.

as usual mr beyer delivers the goods for his spectacular drumcode imprint this time by way of a new release from belgian producer - ortin cam. following his amazing twisted outing on drumcode last year he has put a heavyweight follow up 2 tracker on the table that is simply mindblowing. another killer to add to the drumcode catalogue!

prepare for some bonus beats from john spring, following his last year’s fabulously striking >ready to broadcast< (sus_66). from the start >skychef< is bleeping and clonking along with a bold carelessness, until the sprouting bass growth spreads a still dry, but irresistible drive, whose modulated bursts are there to cause joyfully puzzled faces on the dancefloor - john spring in grand condition! the remix of veteran whizz-kid dan curtin adds a full ladle of truthful techno on top. the bustling american celebrates the foundations of the genre with the aid of classic hypnosis and a solidly rolling bass footing, and proves to be the perfect add-on to the lightfooted original.

limited 12inch wmc 08 sampler , with huge upcoming tracks

the tracks from the recently released full length of nublu orchestra beg for remixes, and the underground resistance militiamen take up the task for sketches of nyc. the i 80 mix is a big thumper, using a scatted vocal line and dissonant horn hits from the original to add drama to the build of an acid bassline and some tastefully tribal drums. the seventh tunnel mix falls squarely in the tech jazz genre that was essentially invented by the detroit collective. the original elements of sketches are used generously, with what seems like a grace note on the upright being turned into a looped bassline, over which the lead vocals and saxophone ping back and forth. must have!!

finest old school flavoured detroit trax !! on the a-side >i do not exist< is a perfect example of kirks talents ! twisted beats, beautiful strings & melodic keys combine to create a master work of futuristic funk, while on the flip b12 add an alternative mix which adds atmosphere & tension to this already powerful & uncompromising track, limited clear / coloured vinyl
