from gui borattos latest album iii comes >this is not the end<, an indie minded track that convincingly demonstrates guis impressive skill set when it comes to emotional narratives embedded in a distinctively monumental context. like his timeless >beautiful life< and last years album highlight >destination: education< (already remixed to perfection by terranova and tale of us), >this is not the end< features the beautiful vocals of luciana villanova, who seems to know exactly what makes gui tick - which doesnt come as a surprise, as they are married – and possesses this rarest of all gifts, an unique voice that seems to address each listener personally. in his own 2012 mix featured here, gui doesnt so much concentrate on the originals tearjerking qualities (which were already fully formed), but streamlines the arrangement for ease of use on the floor of your choice, making the track even more refined and addictive. those of you looking for a slighty more adventurous approach will find their satisfaction with michael mayers rework on the flipside, where the source materials hypnotic qualities are brought to the fore, resulting in a masterful slice of catchy prime time psychedelica. with both mixes turning out to be instant classics, we can definitely confirm that this is not the end.

boston house music ace john barera with his absolutely brilliant first ep on ortloff records.

marking the release of their debut album ‘dream cargoes‘, tj kong & modular k present ‘end-game‘, the first single to be lifted off the cd on poker flat. shuffling and sparkling with urgent, peak-time electronic disco vibes, ‘end-game‘ is one of the calling cards from their album, which as it happens is jammed packed with stand-out cuts. freaking and peaking over almost 10 minutes, the pair are not afraid of fully exploring and expanding a jam until they have worked it as much as possible! the pumping reference remix leads us into even bigger room zones as an old school techno vibe lifts us up and carries us into the late night. strong, rushing and full of tension, this mix is a guaranteed festival goosebumb moment!

following the wild success of a tune called >miezekatze< the viennese duo ogris debris now teams up with munich based academic producer and guitar virtuoso bartellow for a split/vice-versa feature ep. bartellows opener track >the thrill is gone< calls its home the kenny dixon jr. house territory while its funk feelings remind us of soulmates bootsy collins and george clinton. then the so called >rethrill< performed by ogris debris drives the tune even further into a pumping house excursion going crazy on a euphoric vocal chorus cryin out loud: thats why we party all night long!

das debütalbum der gruppe von januar 1967 enthält den welthit light my fire und den song the end, der unter anderem durch den film apocalypse now wieder bekannt wurde und dessen originalaufnahme teilweise auf plattenaufnahmen wegen seines textes zensiert wurde. dabei handelt es sich um die griechische sagengestalt Ödipus, ein königssohn, der unwissentlich seinen vater tötet, seine mutter heiratet und mit ihr schläft. die textzeilen: „father i want to kill you, mother i want to fuck you“ erschienen der Öffentlichkeit als zu vulgär, wenngleich schon seit jahrtausenden selbige szene in den theatern aufgeführt wurde. weiterhin enthält das album das brecht/weill-lied alabama song.

this killer release by echonomist proves to be one of his most diverse and promising attempts as he switches in between dance styles like houdini. the collaboration with dans mon salon in isolation is a wondering imaginative road trip into the avenues of detroit, driving in a black car as the boomy rhythmic sequence meets with high end pad strings, a haunting stuck acid bass-line and the vocals of a tortured soul seeking salvation. techno structure with modern tools.
