once again featuring long-term toddla collaborator serocee, >>soundtape killin<< comes on like a bashment anthem for the electro age. undoubtedly a dance floor smash serocees cut and spliced vocals get down with a dirty electro beat which is intermittently interrupted by pulsating synths. remixes come courtesy of hotly tipped newcomers detboi and nastee boi. following on from a number of painfully limited 12inch – most notably on herves new cheep thrills imprint – irish sensation detboi delivers a rarefied electro banger of a remix. on the back of this, garage rude boy and t2 comrade nastee boi, drops a bassline infused version that is equally infectious.

incl stimming (aka orli & martie/ terminal m/ diynamic) rmx!!! . played by nudisco, ante perry, wollion, novy, the havana boys ... might be possible for the audience to come across subtleties like claps and effects of delay just on the third time listening to it the stimming remix. the chuckie remix is the perfect remix to root for the right atmosphere to begin the summer season on the balearic islands

its ireland hottest techno label again and the goodies they ve got prime to spurt out of the old sac are pretty tumultuous. take this outing from heretics of disko, which is label boss desy palmers floating project which here sees him working with robbie dunne aka spectrum is green on a track which first appeared as part of the hold it down magazine compilation a couple of years ago. the two new mixes come courtesy of finlands lackluster bouncing around like richochet rabbit in a disused robot dump and japans yukio taking more of an electro route with percolating percussion to arrive at some engaging oddball alien funk. a diff kind of brotha is concrete soul collectives kenny black remixed by japans katsuhiko putting the female voice through a blender studded with clicks and efx plus leeds nasty bobby, who stretches the vocals savagely over chattering groove reminiscent of psychotic robo chipmunks confronted with david camerons knackers. maximum quality again.

2x 15mins of ultra hypno house!! big with ricardo villalobos, prins thomas, laurent garnier,… unarguably, the best way to prepare umu is inside a hole in the ground. go find a nice flat land, preferably your mother in laws lawn, gather friends, ask them to bring wine. youll need a well amplified turntable playing mania #11 on a loop. cut the grass using a flat shovel, four or six square pieces of 50 cms, lifting the grass with its roots and some soil, move aside. now you have a clean area of about 1.5 mts square, dig in it to a depth of about 50 cms (come on, it will make you sweat profusely but you need this shallow grave to feel the magik of easter islands umu!).

following the success of last years >nitrogen 2 oxygen 1< ep for siteholder records and the recently released >filthy fibber< ep on uncut, the duo of billy dalessandro and daniel mnookin have teamed up once again under the slutbox moniker to deliver the >backseat driver< ep. switching up the rotation, the ep kicks off with los angeles based producer jason emsleys >lick it, smack it, rub it down remix<, a filthy number that no amount of sludge can adequately describe. a subtle, yet effective rhythm section keeps the dance floor busy while the dirty synth overtones grow larger and larger until they have conquered ones brain synapses. feeding off of the original vocal and adding some x-rated lines of his own, if pornographic techno wasnt a genre before, it is now. the original is pure slutbox at its best. deep bass, seductive rhythm, addictive loops, and a spanish guitar combine to make this one another club killer. as if you had a choice, please make your way to the dance floor - the night has begun. rounding out the vinyl release is st. louis via berlin dj/producer butane (a.k.a. andrew rasse). known for his widely praised work on his own alphahouse label, as well as top techno imprints dumb unit, num, and rrygular, butane has long been a friend of the siteholder crew and takes this opportunity to make his debut on the remix tip. deep, druggy, and hypnotic, butanes >percocet remix< is what one has come to expect from the late night veteran. whether its early evening, time to jack, or after-after hours, the >backseat driver< ep is an all-in-one tech fueled necessity

dj neophyte vs. tha playah come here with a massive hardcore 3 tracker

steve kotey needs little introduction, head honcho of bear entertainment, an accomplished producer and a member of chicken lips. kotey is joined on this record by max essa. having previously released on paper recordings back in 2001 max also played guitar with the infamous, long distance runners. steve & max have delivered 3 beautiful records in the shape of the salon de l herbe series. this ep offers up everything good that is disco from the up tempo 1974 a side to the spaced out vibes of 1988. if that wasnt enough this 12inch release is finished off with a 3 rd track 1981 on the cosmic/balearic tip. the years may become confusing but with live drums, guitars and slick arrangement words cant do these productions justice. more to come from these two with a follow up in the salon de l herbe series dueto be released in june/july 08, exciting stuff!

nice price deal !!! art bleek is a name thats been doing the rounds for a few years now. the paris based producer never fails to live up to expectations whether it be deep minimal housers, downtempo jazzed-out loungers, broken beat or straight up hip hop, versatility is the mans game. hes recorded for labels such as rush hour & loungin and now for sick trumpet he brings californian vocalist charlie sputnik along to make the french connection. first up is all night, a mid-tempo nu-jazz shuffler that glides between broken beat and house with a killa groove, walkin bass lines, vocal hooks and scats a plenty from mr sputnik. support already from domu with plays on his 1xtra show zed bias takes the track and turns it into a new jersey house bumper with that added biaspheric twist weve all come to expect - big ! on the flip we have brothers & sisters, an electronic influenced houser with a bassline bigger than the eiffel tower and slicker than platini. with charlie sputnik again on vocals he provides the perfect narrative & melody to this dancefloor smasher ! the dub mix of this is something else…..anyone for dubstep electonica ? check

these great remixes of >pogo<&#153, come courtesy of css, hey today!, beni (riot in belgium) and digitalism themselves

on the flip, data takes us back ten years ago, with the techie curfew. a sly sample invoking the terror of a war torn citys attempt to enact a curfew sits perfectly before this one truly takes off. this is another cut that doesnt try to be too much, just establishes a serious vibe and works very well in the mix. sound artillery what a perfect name for this label. weapons for mass consumption, tools for the audio soundclash, tracks that hurt you. and make you come back for more!

third album young desire, again captures the fervour witnessed on lapkos live shows. taking in themes of vulnerability and anxiety beneath hardened exteriors, aching feelings, pressure and confusion, the album is a mental trip back to the schoolyard, where tough guy antics and leather armor cant hide the convulsions underneath. theres new depth and dynamic in the bands expression, fitting for a gang of seasoned rock musicians. these two art school dropouts and metal worker have come a long way from harjavalta (though they still gather there to rehearse and play) and have evolved as a band and as friends.

>ruffterhours< is a brilliant techno club tune which is not supposed to leave any dry shirt among the party crowd. the original mix consists of a slamming and driving beat coming along with a catchy melody that keeps even deaf awake. there comes the break which blows your membrane away and forces the assemblage to lift their arms and caress the roof! the roof is indeed on fire! sikk s sex in the city remix delights the audience with a distinguished gallant piece of minimal art. since their massive international tune >my washing machine< the world approves the haute-couture that stands behind the four initials. tekhouse seems to come back to the dance floor in a rush and so does pazkal s deftbonz remix as well. get ready for the neo disco bonanza!

get ready for this summer palate ! laposer have come out of nowhere with the biggest club rocker for us since dubfires and guido schneiders plastikman remixes hits the decks last year.taste this african twist, floor rasing house anthemas it sweeps through momentous build ups and spiced with a touch of outstanding percussion and a whole lotta house and groove for good measure. the b-side is irresistible as well, yet even more modern. no digital sales, no minimal ! pure vinyl! both songs drip of the sweat of the dancefloor -- each swinging with a tight, static afro-beat/house/funk-fused propulsion

straight from the pink slow studio, david garcet strikes us with 4 new cuts. the a1 is simply said a good floorfiller. expect some straight forward beats and percussion work with that characteristic bleepy synth line being used to full effect. the >monday mix< is yet pretty mellow. the synths have come down a bit and the arpeggios are more upfront for that melancholic vibe.

exclusive mixes on 4 lp from warp s back catalogue.. remixes and source material from artists including mogwai, aphex twin, surgeon, stereolab, boards of canada, nightmares on wax and many more..

mo rotation is the next step in the history of westpark units 80s funk influences they started with blaxrotation and fits well within the sound of today! always sexy, dope, deep & dubby. proper thang is as deep as jeep and builds up in the typical westpark unit style with some demanding but tricky drumpatterns and a wicked bassline. to surprise, the duo added some old school snippets into the drop, put them into a different context and present a jewel of a bangin deep house tune with one of the most enthusiastic moments when the beats come back in. mo rotation sets up with just some shakers, a demanding percussion loop, a booming bass and needs almost 5 minutes to get things started. when the bassdrum finally drops in, the club is already near ecstasy while the music takes a small step from 1983 to 2008 and a deep masterpiece

for the new album, liars and prayers, thalia has expanded upon her touring band of the last few years of daniel coughlin (drums) and david curry (viola, trumpet) to fill out the sound with the bass and piano of winston braman (consonant, sherperdess, fuzzy) and mel lederman (victory at sea). liars and prayers is the masterwork of her thus far impressive career. her voice and songs have never been stronger and the full band and the recording by andrew schneider (unsane, cave in) allows her to combine the delicacy of the arrangements of her trio with the force that was her band come. the very moving body memory is a poignant example of this perfect synthesis.

another 2 gems get an update from the discolexic crew

ultraphat ep produced by mr quentin harris with funky deep house traxx at it best

stage 6 for the d classics crew...and a sure stike again. back to back re edits from nico (on his own this time), getting back to the rawest side of discofunk. a side opens it with o2 party. nico come up with a kind of mash up, taking best bits from both versions from the original 12inch pressing, fill it with advance thinking efx, and make it into a proper floor burner. cosmic disco funk of highest order we say. b side is called solutions. here we have a total re arrangement from this early 80s slice of pure disco funk, still keeping the original feelgood touch from the original, but with a real modern thinking and great use of efx and tools tweeking in the making of the re edit. if you re not dancing on these two babies... you re probably already dead.

krischmann & klingenberg have already become remarkable in several times. in cause of their individual sound. with releases on skull tunes, compressed or on frank kvittas label unknown power, they have pointed what they are able to do. whether on the home dance floors or in the century circus. the boys have simply found the right mixture of straight- and a little funky inclined techno. flotek & mario kinle come directly from vienna to your home. their tracks circulate in many different forums and bump almost only into positive resonance. it is the time to get both on vinyl. sound, uncompromisingly up to the last blow.

luscious, epic and british are not words you would usually associate with an emo band. but i was a cub scout are not your ordinary emo outfit - they re two hardcore souls with passion and emotion dripping out of every pore. and its this passion that has captivated audiences up and down the country. the duo, made up of todd marriott and william bowerman, have come a long way in the 18 months they ve been together. they ve supported bands like babyshambles, panic at the disco, editors and forward russia, played to packed out audiences at download and the carling reading and leeds festivals and made one of the most life affirming albums of 2008, i want you to know that there is always hope, which has been produced by hugh padgham . in a climate of indie band soup, i was a cub scout stand apart. a very british band raised on a diet of american music. a duo who manage the feat of being both indie and rock, punk and prog, small yet big...

newcomer olivierdaysoul stroke hard with his >soul4u< joint for 4lux. taken from his upcoming 4lux album >kilowatt< is this sick tune >brain<, a dirty slo-mo headnodder with slammin beats, fat?ass wobbly minimoog bass and spacey 80s synths. produced by gerd and paulo for 4lux recordings. oliviers vocals are off the wall. remember to party because b for you know it the cops come put the cuffs on you! potion no. 9 is a sexy dancer. hip hop producer the unknown on the music, gerd fiddling the knobs & mr. daysoul himself in >smooth operator< mode... so ladies watch out!

a track thats been generating some serious heat for a while now becomes the second track of the year to come out on strictly. the original mix is deep house at its very best, with a haunting vocal courtesy of margaret grace while quentins production keeps the track beautifully layered and polished to perfection. but its the harry choo choo romero mix that everyones been talking about, with a peaktime version that builds and builds to a crescendo of big synths and raised hands.

for his new album, heretic pride, darnielle has once more retreated into his imagination to conjure a suite of songs about mythical creatures, imaginary cults, slasher films and pulp fiction novelists. hes also come up with some of the most anthemic,impassioned and downright catchy songs of his career: sax rohmer, autoclave and lovecraft in brooklyn join a long line of glorious mountain goats shouters, they ll doubtless have audiences raising the roof at venues around the world in the coming months.

as one of the most influential house labels of the 80s sleeping bag has stood the test of time with its releases. 25 years on and the tracks still provide the dance world with a regular source of sample material. here on this double lp compilation are some of sleeping bags most seminal records released during a ten year period, which brought to attention the sublime production talents of the labels cofounder arthur russell and a&r skills of curtis mantronik. the collection contains the track dinosaur l produced by russell, remixed and subsequently made famous by francois kevorkian. the sleeping bag family also extended to legendary producer and dj todd terry, who re mixed several of sleeping bags tracks. also featuring on this release is joyce sims with two tracks taken from her hit album come into my life. after the death of russell in 1992 the label limped on for awhile but finally shut its doors the same year.

the ravage continues with demolition 10, the vinyl sampler! including a broad range of hardcore tracks by promo, d passion and n vitral. following up on the great impression of the tablet promo continues his story telling vibe with a brand new track. the b side contains tracks by two artists which are definitely carved out of the hardest of ttm wood. self made is a perfect example of the typical hardcore sound by d passion. recognizable and at all times party minded! the darkest experiments from this collection of demolition beats come from n vitral and his defliction production, complicated at first but ever so driving in a hard industrial tech kind of way.

goog records making a fantastic come back for their 7th release with a fresh new sounding inspired by the leading actual electro producers such as vitalic, digitalism, tiga...

the title track made a brief appearance last year, garnering spins from the likes of fergie on radio 1. its now primed for full release, retaining its cool stuttering bleeped out hook atop a strident bassline thats designed to make sure no one can physically stand still, whether they want to or not. its also catchy as fuck. mike healey drops a cleaner remix that techs it out some, the first third or so of the track just twitters, phased sounds and hints at whats to come. its 1.00am central trip material until that bass finally implodes. are we alone? is a deeper closing cut, with suitably zoned out vocal samples and more electro tech shenanigans, making for a near essential ep for those who like it dark and trippy.

groove is in the house! you know the score when a set of finely crafted ethique tracks hits the spot. funk fueled minimalism rare in existence and hard to come by when abundance in quality. italian in origin minimono is slapp in it up y all! 2 for the floor, 2 for the lounge or your bachelor pad for that matter, all crafted meticulously to the bone. jazzy, funky electronically tinged >firenze< stylee, you first heard it here.......!
