jorge has been a central figure on the latin-american musical stage since the 80s-first as the co-founder of chiles beloved political rockers los prisioneros, then as a restlessly inventive solo musician and as one half of gonzálo martínez, the experimental electronic duo with dandy jack (martin schopf). now based in mexico city and working alongside loreto otero, jorge presents los updates, a new project combining electro-pop with an unusual approach to minimalist house and techno. designed both as a studio affair and a live performance, los updates expands its collaborative scope by reaching out to a crew of well-known chilean and european musicians who were central to the development of chilean techno in the mid 90s: ricardo villalobos, dandy jack, luciano and tobias freund, all of whom deliver defiantly original remixes across a series of 12-inch singles. tobias. fills the a-side with his remix of >pictures of you< simply one of the most dazzling things youll hear this year. tobias. recent string of work-singles for wagon repair and ostgut ton, as well as remixes for two armadillos and jim rivers-has shown him to be a master of the hypnotic groove, and here he entrances like never before, laying down a stark 808 drum pattern which he threads through dubby keys, analog explosions and liquid bass figures. on the b-side cadenzas luciano is getting late and brings his inimitable touch to the remix of >etting late<. luciano reworks the song into a lean, bleepy groove that marries the cool restraint of vintage dbx to lucianos own effusive style, buoyant and percussive and completely enveloping..

a fresh addition to the moodmusic roster but a longtime veteran in the house-scene, alexander maier aka dj all*star from stuttgart is well known from his earlier releases on buzzin fly, exun and criminal records. he began his career playing underground techno in south of germany but over the years became more and more influenced by detroit and chicago house. you can hear these influences on sahara in both the rain and river version. deep and reduced grooves with enough soul and atmosphere, yet fully functional for the floor, sahara rain kicks in with a heavy bass sequence building a perfect platform to be followed by the synththeme which hit s the peak hour perfectly. i see some hands going up here already… sahara river starts more housey, building a classy, low-slung huge groove with perculating synths and almost tribal feel to the drums. the modulating synths lifts the track to new heights with a break of superbly layered twisted pads before the drums kick back in in full effect. as this would not be enough we asked our thrusted chicago connection and alexs buddy, mazi aka audio soul project to remix sahara rain. if you consider people who s been in the biz for some time mazi is one of the warriors of the sound, never choosing the easy way but thrustfully following his true way of house music. and house it is, classic but cleverly updated to 2008 with a twist of so-cal thrown in for good measure. bouncey and jacking is the words which comes into mind when hearing this, excellent work and a another bomb for the hot months to come

ncl. remixes by gino & snake! supported by: stephan bodzin, oliver huntemann, pascal feos, lemos, butch, kolombo, steve bug, hennon, the glitz... etc. apropos apricot - some unknown ladys apricot colored dress simply flapped away when andreas first new bass line left the speakers. it was the tunes premier and, needless to say, quickly became its name. we hereby thank ms apricot - who had a fruity booty, too! also, a close friend named rikardo was part of the team that magical night… and oh well, he sure liked her, she liked him back - and soon the follow up was born! thumbs up for prorikardo!

the munich resident florian senfter aka zombie nation or john starlight is well-known as the creator of tracks like kernkraft 400, souls at zero, space marines and last not least blood angels, which can also be found on the sound of the third season, and is thus a reliable choice for sweaty, energetic eruptions up to the fringe of demolition. this doesnt change significantly on road rage, which was originally released by ukw in a limited number of copies and is now the first sign of life from senfters studio, after three years of abstinence. with timehonoured plus 8 references and acid elements, the original recollects an almost gone quality of techno: to blow away your skullcap with the unashamed joy of telling stories, many breaks, some funky dirtyness and experimental noise playfulness. exclusively made for cocoon was the remix by parisian turbo producer popof who gives the track an even more intense gross-grained feeling. one does not have to be a prophet at all to tell that both versions are facing a great future in club autumn 2008 and beyond

really dope release, this guy has a unique style of his own! on deep breath he shapes up the perfect banging techno tune for peak time play! get down is a dirty and raw cyber-techno-funk nugget to please all those who like their grooves fat and nasty! gladiator is a fantastic minimal work-out in the same vein as fortek colleague stefan tretau. subliminal deep and well balanced. schnutenzieher is a wicked techno tune in the same vein as some of the dj koze stuff.

sebastian legers mistakes music label has been on a roll of that with his own cover of jaguar selling immensely well and his next 2 solo releases following that having caused some serious damage. this original track from this swedish duo is an enormous piano laden club hit with its smooth intro, enormous hooklines and epic pads - potentially one of the biggest tracks of the year.

arctic monkeys were already massive way before they inked a deal with domino in june 2005. people obsessing over the songs? sold out gigs full of stage diving nutcases. hardcore fans pressed up against venue windows, just hoping to catch a glimpse such checkpoints have all been ticked. the boys may share a love of the smiths, the clash and the jam, but in no way were the monkeys ready to simply regurgitate the well trodden brit rock path.

the nuyorican latin movement in the 60s and 70s. mambo, boogalou, and salsa are all represented well in this double 12ich selection!!

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.

ray valioso (aka swiss producer agnès) returns to real soon with the 4-track particles e.p. on the title track particles, ray uses a moog-like synth part and a treated rhodes piano to weave a hypnotic melody that drifts in and out of focus over a clatter of loose, live percussion and distorted voices. on tocar te, basic house maniobras and groove memories, ray is in less experimental territory and turns in three quality pieces of warm, percussive, luxurious deep house. this is ray valiosos second full release, following up on his well-received einladung e.p. (real soon, 2006) - featuring the excellent >get the strings?< - and his recent appearance on the deep vibes recordings compilation >in the streets<.

with frankly amazing singles on his own glimpse recordings and matt tolfreys leftroom earlier this year, 2007 is shaping up to be one hell of a year fro christopher spero aka house/techno prodigy glimpse. here, he delivers his debut for the uk-based bastion of quality that is four:twenty with a superb collaboration with critically acclaimed taka boom (sister of chaka khan) in the form of we existed. another great uk talent, tom demac is first to remix we existed and does so in fine style. its plain to see why so many labels of note are requesting releases from tom on first listen to his skilful, deep and dubby excursion into detroit inspired house. jay shepheard, not to be outdone, turns in two remixes for the package. his alternative remix is up first and is a driving affair with a percussive punch and nagging fm chords providing the perfect base for takas vocals and some well placed keys. the main rmx from compost man shepheard carries on the mantle of quality with a decidedly more electronic and epic feel: a shrinking violet this is not

once more compound delivers another storming output with some of the creme da la creme of the techno scene to date. division ep has all the elements of funk to hard deep pounding grooves from the likes of glenn wilson, wetworks, dean rodell, monocore, zoid and mucky beats, making this various a must have for any techhead to have in their box. a1: monocore open this ep with lingering whisper a well crafted floor banger that builds over its existence to a total crowd pleaser giving the ep a kick start in the right direction. a2: dean rodell and wetworks prove with their first collaboration that techno can move and groove with a colourful arrangement of sounds without losing the drive that we have come to expect from these 2 producers. b1: glenn wilson leads the b side with risen, again a xxxxl pounder with cheese in true wilson style: a stabby deep number with rhythms and grooves that u expect from the tech master himself! b2: last but not least 1 of the uk biggest up and coming techno artists zoid and mucky beats give their debut on compound with japanese clank a thunder thumper of a track that highlights the strength of sound the island has to offer today. a class floor mangler to finish off an ep that has something for every hard tech division

side a of the 4th record from monotone leidenschaft provides furore. the producer newbee ash cawlin proofs once more his potential with this track. with wondrous slight devices and a very long breath he is able to design a timeless minimal techno sound, which reminds a little on g-man. with the track leda he provides a genuine hit potential more than the presence as a dj-tool. jack else aka subtronic produced a really succeeded and modern track, which matches perfectly between functionality, friskiness and brightness as well as between techno and minimal sound. the blowing groove is always multi-layered and a little capricious. in spite of that it radiates a defeating naturalness, which is slowly burning into the brain. the new track provides the typical heavy, pushing beats, which let you step on the same position. along with it there are endless traces of crackling and rustling

excellent percussive and synth driven minimal phonky techno ... incl a huge adam beyers remix of well known marionette

go hiyama has risen quickly to a position of international respect that few japanese techno producers can match. from his debut release on james ruskins coda label to his recent surgeon remixed single geometrical he has attracted continuous support from oscar mulero, james ruskin, surgeon, gayle san and many other djs at the cutting edge of techno. his sound is powerful but with an intricacy and ear to detail that shames most of the loop techno from a few years ago. for his first perc trax release he delivers 2 slices of powerful, detailed modern techno that follow on perfectly from geometrical. for the b-side remix perc trax is proud to have a deep dub techno mix from norman nodge. norman is resident at berlins infamous berghain club and the only producer apart from marcel dettmann to record for marcels own mdr imprint. norman has also just released the well-received track native rhythm electric on ostgut ton, which also featured on dettmanns recent berghain 02 mix album. as a dj, norman moved to his berghain residency after organising parties in easy germany, now as his production career flourishes he is starting to make his mark on the international circuit. this is normans first release on a non-german label and is a real coup for perc trax

jericho records continues its return to the forefront with this amazing new release from the hottest producer in dance music right now - eric prydz. using his cirez d moniker here eric has created a sublime, deep yet pumping masterpiece with hints of planet e with its simple building groove and enormous pads yet still due to tjhe immense production managing to pack an huge wallop. as if they wasnt enough on the flip side pig and dan pick up the pace with an amazing pumping groove perfectly utilising parts of the original to superb effect. already mercilessly hammered by eric prydz and pig and dan themselves as well as jon digweed early on - many others are now picking up on this bomb and this will feature heavily on house and techno floors alike. devastating!!
