funny a side!! the danish scene has evolved a lot over the last years, with acts like trentemøller, martinez and whomadewho. the new label tartelet records is rising from the horizon of the copenhagen club culture. tartelet records is founded by fredski (the man behind the greatest copenhagen parties ) and tomboy (aka tomas barfod, dj, producer and drummer of whomadewho, with previous releases on turbo, kitsuné , get physical and gomma). the two founders themselves are also behind this first tartelet release, which is a true showcase of what the label stands for: tech-house with multiple flavors like ghetto, funk, disco and a bit world. the a-side ‘do the tartelet’ is a schizophrenic yet effect full combination of sampled horn-madness, hand claps and techno bass. on the flip side ‘cereal’ sounds as if james holden and paul jonson were trying to make minimal house together. the future releases from tartelet promise remixes from world-league remixers (tba) and tracks by danish kleshmer-techno-reggae band analogik do the tartelet

big with: minilogue, dj yellow, luca morris, gregor tresher, davis&may,.. arcobaleni, thats the massive debut single of the talented italian boy spada. hypnotizing bells, sweet melodies and bassline fuse together warmly to create the kind of emotional maripoza stuff everybody loves. as special guest mixer, zakko, who was heavy played by james holden and gregor tresher with his >for her< masterpiece,was in studio to do a deep and melodic interpretation to enjoy…also teatro a devotionful producer created with another point of view for the song a dark, groovy and atmospheric walk

stathis kalatzis aka mr. statik, also known for his collaboration as mud max, is giving full scope to his greek temperament on the >temperamento ep<. on four tracks he bounces and bleeps with great efforts and a broad horizon, constantly changing and constantly different. support comes from geoffroy mugwump, italoboyz, lee smith, jimpster.

after his immense 2006 hit with his mix for mias song entitled >anz der moleküle<, which could be found in the playlists of nearly all the top djs and also on compilations such as >ministry of sound – annua< bee-low is releasing on some of the most successful and renowned german labels of electronic music: karateklub( >navajo ep<), polo records, combination records and did rmxs for harthouse, amused records and big city beats recordings,... especially the bee-low remix for the a+b release >horizon< on big city beats recordings charted in the german club charts (dcc) and caught the eye of markus gardeweg the a&r at kontor records!

dj support : matthias kaden, jimpster, italoboyz, karotte, tom clark & amongst others !! a 4 tracker this time called >nautical dawn<, theodors square basses are groovy as hell and as usual the swing notch is turned all the way to 16.e j!!! pieces of short and abstract vocal samples appear here and there and some fantastic jazzy sounding melodies played by old instruments like this pseudo vibraphone-guitar on the strong first track called jazzphysics or this 70s wha-pedal arabic strings on nautical dawn. theodor expands his horizon by developing a new genre that we could name something like >smart minimal melodic dry ass funk<?!? so if you like bouncing beats and want to experience serious booty shaking while you play that piece, then this record is >sans aucun doute<

check out the bass and the remix are available on vinyl once more for all you fans and newcomers to the sound alike. look out for plenty more rhythm section represses on the vinyl horizon!

who needs an obtrusively acting kickdrum, when the decent wobbling bassline of breezin does the job just as good. right nobody. or, at least peter grummich (shitkatapult/ spectral/kompakt) doesnt, whose proverbial deepness constantly gets the floors into rapturous body rolling. thus it was just a question of time to welcome this man to karloff, the label for everything thats different. here, all medium dated orientation to felt (rather than experienced) standards is gladly left to other persons of great hope, whilst enjoying the border crossing between dorky monkeyshine and serious spirit of adventure. consequently, quick thinking misbehaviour is also the attitude of the (for formal reasons called) b side, where the horizon gets canvassed for both weird and life affirming sounds, in grasp of the groove. summarizing dance music to breathe deeply.

funky brass house / pete tong essential selection

public service message: from the pale horizon of the calm world, here emerges critical tension. product of his society, henry the white collar goes through a crisis. today henry is nervous, negotiating the heave and shove between fear and his uncontrolable urges, and this is his music when he does. we, the producers, are his fantasy. does it hurt or is it good? can you make him relieve his debt? after two releases on sound of barclay, and a hit (sink) on yvan smagghes compilation (suck my deck) released on react, and the famous cover of lios amoureux solitaires featuring jennifer cardini on kill the dj, henry is back with a dodgy 10 inch no punk, no electro - this is wobble

marc antona makes his mobilee debut with this agile, wiry three-track ep . best known until now for his records for paris >freak n chic< label marc builds on the mobilee sound you have come to expect, with well-oiled rhythms, delicate pings and sub-bass rumble that knocks your feet out from under you. >one more sugar< rides along a loose-limbed groove splashed with bright arpeggios that rain down like liquid diamonds. ragged hi-hats aflare, tension builds and breaks like a ripped flag catching crosswinds. the track stretches toward the horizon, throwing up rolling hills and gliding down them as naturally as a champion cyclist. understated funk that packs a hidden punch...

special random one-sided release! will make the hearts of collectors go boooom! a fairytale is looming on the horizon of the unknown. one must not tame a fairytale. fairytale lies in absence. eremits rebel against the power of the kings and for their romantic nature, secrecy should be the rule. they complain about our reasoning of the land - that we bought socrates for logical dissilusion. but where have all the flowers gone? why matemathics instead of metamathics? pursuing what all philosophy has tried, that is, to avoid metaphysics, and because i feel that tonights peasantry without pleasantry is somehow nervous, wanting for something to make sense - you outrageous calculists - i am going to tell you the secret that underlines what you have heard until now. because all i want to do is hug you close, and all that you want to do is to be hugged - consider it as a gift

with evil concussion mutekki welcomes yet another rising star on the techno horizon. his mutekki debut single >tak tak< is a bulldozer of a track! a massive drumming, an accelerating bass line and tricky little breaks get combined with a piano hook, which will immediately make you raise your hands into the air. sounds cheesy, but if you dont believe us, just check and try! ziel100, known for his remix works for the likes of the horrorist and gloria gaynor as well as for his label zielscheiben, strips down the groove to its basic elements and turns his version of “tak tak” into a real freak show.

the year 2007 is beginning with turbulences for ruede hagelstein. real life, clubbing and the life of his beloved twist and turn through out the night. spooky appears the >ghostdriver< and with the drive by the needle of the compass circulates. change of direction. clarity is extinguished by the searchlight at the horizon. pictures change to sketches and the dark reveals the >pig< biting itself in the tail and one cant look away while it´s mouth is wriggling like a funny muscle. a ruede roadmovie

played by james mowbray, jeff samuel, john tejada!! news from the anti claves-biter fraction: sub static-label boss falko brocksieper follows suit and warms up for the next album-quantum-leap, however, as a finger exercise first, there is this small, fine ep with three elegantly knitted smashers for the dj from world. as usual this man simply shakes the funk out of the sleeves, so he can afford to pass big music already for the aperitif, which is always best for the meal, right? >esque< builds up the break culture quite high, without falling however, as the pleasantly massaging bass foundation stands firmly against wind and tide. this is the club counterpart to the lightning rod, bundling the crowd s attention perfectly and focusing it to one point, between a glass of vodka (located at the dj-booth) and the horizon (in the head, man, in the head!)

terence fixmerÕs path through the changing techno landscape of the past 20 years has been anything but direct. indeed, the french born producer, musician and planete rouge label founder has long been influenced by the periphery of continental european dance music subgenres from electronic body music, new beat and acid, before combining them into his own pioneering hybrid of futuristic, ebm-inflected techno with classic releases such as 2001Õs muscle machine or the collaborative between the devil lp with nitzer ebbÕs douglas mccarthy as fixmer/mccarthy. while the sound in recent years has been rediscovered and recast in diverse contexts by a new generation of producers, through the cortex sees fixmer gravitating toward a different kind of industrial-tinged electronics, led as much (or more) by analogue sequencers, melodies and ultra-saturated sounds of synthesizers than drums and percussion. across eight tracks at a compact but varied 40 minutes, the lp touches on an aesthetic hinted at in recent ostgut ton releases (2016Õs beneath the skin ep and 2017Õs force ep), revealing a sonic narrative through noisy, screaming synth/vocal riffs with a jagged, guitar- like post-punk sensibility.

over the years, berlin has been cited as oliver koletzkis main point of reference and, more importantly, his endless source of inspiration. his albums gro§stadtmŠrchen and gro§stadtmŠrchen 2 are wholehearted tributes of the german capital, as its importance is continuously hinted and charted. friedrichshain, one of berlins vibrant districts, has always held a special place in olivers heart. this is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now. kreuzbergs wall paintings adorn stil vor talents cover sleeves and host their headquarters. there are little to no corners in the city that havent brought a spark of inspiration into the mix. the schneeweiss compilation series, now at its eigth installment, is built as a form of tribute to all these particles, tied in together into a series of carefully curated tracks. each compilation stands at the intersection of the musical and cultural surroundings most prominent of their respective times

incl 3 cds with 69 tracks - cd3 is mixed by dj quicksilver

it s been around three years since jpattersson opened up a whole new horizon of formerly unheard possibilities between the worlds of dub and techno. a lot has been happening ever since, and thatÕs very noticeable on his second album. it still has all the signature elements of jpattersson: there s his dreamy, virtuous trumpet play and his witty vocals, there s his dubby delays and heavyweight beats which often line up in a downbeat rhythm. however, besides his fanfares there s now also many folks, many musical friends who contribute to the vibe of this album. there s a track with berlin mc longfingah, latin-flavoured rhythms from polish reggae and dancehall producer dreadsquad as well as a stylistically wide range of remixes that reflect the symbiotic cooperation and mutual inspiration of these last years.

zwei jahre lang hat der in san francisco beheimatete produzent giraffage in seinem schlafzimmer an seinem debźtalbum gewerkelt, das von seiner persšnlichen reise der selbstheilung erzŠhlt, bei dem jeder song eine andere periode in seinem leben reprŠsentiert. kaleidoskopische beats und vertrŠumte synth-pop- und r&b-melodien umrahmen das neue werk, bei dem japanese breakfast, body language s angelica bess und viele andere mitgewirkt haben. der sohn zweier taiwanesischer einwanderer ist schon frźh zur musik gekommen - einer deutlichen abweichung der sonstigen kulturellen erwartungen innerhalb seiner familie. doch schnell schaffte er mit ganz speziellen remixen seiner r&b-lieblingslieder, die im internet regelrecht explodierten, den aufstieg vom regional bekannten act, der blo§ in kleinen auskennerblogs beachtung fand, hin auf die bźhnen der weltweit grš§ten festivals.
