sometimes, its still worth not to waste your youth with nonsense but to learn to play an instrument. like in the case of sebastian mullaert, who has learned to play violin, organ and piano, while his partner marcus henriksson rather came from kraftwerk and human league to electronic music. as son kite, the two swedes have already a well-known name in the psy-trance scene, and as minilogue, they now start to conquer the minimal and house world. with their rather unique sound, they manage the tightrope walk between minimal and trance and never allow us to put them into a drawer. especially with their debut on cocoon rec, minilogue present themselves in a different way, compared to their releases on traum or wagon repair. >jamaica< is a calm track at the first hearing and is perfect for building up a set. beginning with bird-like sounds, the track builds up slowly and quickly becomes very interesting and tricky, ramifies as organic as a climbing plant, and when the tribal sound emerges from the underground, this track has exactly what makes minilogue so special: organic matter and groovy sounds, worked into a minimal labyrinth with very much love for the details. all of that can also be found on the b side which seems to be more adequate for the morning hours, with its somehow spacey sound. with >jamaica<, mullaert and henriksson prove that they are floating on the very surface of the endless minimal ocean. and with their album >animals< being already in sight on cocoon recordings, one can be highly anxious of what is coming ahead, by minilogue and techno made in sweden

2 massive minimal electronic style tunes, includes martin landsky remix!!!

ealier support by chloe, giles smith and karotte. maik loewen was already infected by musiccalitis in early years. and there was also his increasing fascination for beats. it did not take long till he started playing the drums and synthesizer. with the tb 303 being one of his first instruments he immediately became addicted to electronic sounds and became quite skilled in using these new devices in his own productions. during his apprenticeship at the recording studios he produced his first tracks. at the same time he started his collaboration with oliver hacke and gabriel ananda. they supported him to get his first record deals. following his first releases on tonsport >arnika ep<, karmarouge >mezcal ep< and trapez >one year one month< and remix projects for walter dahn und jorge gebauhr, his latest ep on poikerflat >even if you sleep<, maik finally appears on karmarouge: the >backcountry camping ep<. his deep understanding for functional sounds and extremly pumping beats, combined with the right mixture of genius and insanity, enables mike to playfully produce upfront club-compatible music. >i dont like musical restrictions, what counts is the feeling of the moment, expressed in acoustic waves<. a perfect mixture that metamorphoses the dancefloor into a seething gladiators arena and wich become one of this genius minimal techno anthems who seems to fly higher more and more. not to forget the huge portion of groovy funkiness. the three tracks on the ep nicely explore different nuances of maik loewens present sound

cool electronic techhouse

that gel abril is destined to be one of the main producer of 2008 is already clear to a lot of djs and producers worldwide. be as one, ovum, renaissance all these great labels have already put their hands on this tel aviv based guy, and the remix package of his new single >your face is a mess< including three of the most interesting artists of the past year, is just a confirmation of gels destiny to climb up high. deetrons not a stranger to the electronic music world. hes been constantly in the spotlights of the scene for many years, and now once again he proves why. his 10 minutes marathon remix on the a side really stands out for its superb programming throughout the entire track. starting building things up slowly it relentlessly delivers the goods with one of his best work to date. on the b side, its the hottest uk techno producer mark broom who joins the be as one crew bringing all his experience to serve the cause. another winner! closing the package, itamar sagi, one of baos new artists, delivers a very interesting and original >jazz meets detroit< mix and gives the package the right balance between the techno genres. a storming rework from a fresh talented producer that cannot help but keep the eyes of >those in the know< down on him!

the latest release on two faces shows a slightly different side of the label and introduces the new artist björn leineweber. björn combines modern electronic clubmusic with rock and punk influences and his special german vocals to a very own style. the original mix of >dieser ton< shows his full talent for writing exceptional lyrics, beautiful harmonies and creating unique sound designs. a track with a lot of feelings. on a2 we find position:greenfield - an artist out of the label environment. he developed a remix with classic techno elements and unexpected variances. a track for the early morning hours to deeply touch the crowd. on the flip the label boss himself makes a very compact groovy floorburner. perhaps one of the hits in 2008 ... no more words needed

incl. kollektiv turmstrasse mix, after a while of absence johnjon returns with his 2nd solo release. johnjon started his musical career in electronic music working together with experienced producers in the studio, but in the end it was never satisfying for him. so he decided to lock himself up in the studio and dont come out till everything is right. he just got out of there and delivers the this stunning track. meanwhile is hypnotic and moving, groovy and a little trancy but definitely emotional. the breathing pad cuts through and the small but define changes make everything fit together. a perfect combination of a catchy theme and a solid groove. the remix is delivered by kollektiv turmstrasse, already known from successful releases on labels such as connaisseur rec, diynamic, ostwind and musik gewinnt freunde. christian and nico (kt) took the pad and squeezed out a groovy houseline, fit it into their beats and added a little bit of funk outcome is a wicked release. it is released on the label >baalsaal<, the new sophisticated label, the public transport of emotions

the west flanders connections, the label owned byfred hush is up for its 3rd release, presenting partner noseda. the first track is called >x-or track< and presents kind of a music storm coming up where old school housey techno impresses with percussion layers. a fat bass bounces towards a very uplifting peak-time break. better get ready for its massive sound! the track was already compiled for a >10 days off< promo cd sampler. after huge response they decided to press the track on vinyl. flipside has >click clack<, a very deep electronic music dj–tool track, beginning in silence but the further you go the more party you get.

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we re gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it... second release up is a taste of what s to come later in 2008 when we drop windsurfs debut album. these 4 tracks where initially planned for release on sentrall but where for some strange reason scrapped and made available as mp3 only. too sad as this is some of the finest heady downbeat electronic music to appear in the current baleric,cosmic blah blah blah call it what you want scene. windsurf consists of 1 part sorcerer and 1 part hatchback, both has records out on tirk and thisisnotanexit respectively and they ve also managed to deliever killer reworks of lcd soundsystem and shawn lee s ping pong orchestra(to be unleashed early 2008). crafting their own musical universeout of layers and layers of guitars and synths, never going for the obvious... well, im not gonna spend more time trying to convince you, check it out at wordandsound.de(paste in appropriate link here f.ex....)
