g.i.disco - an 80s history of cold war s hottest music in west-germany berlin local dj heroes kalle kuts and daniel w. best a.k.a. g.i.disco have compiled an excellent 80s soul, funk, r & b and disco selection. it combines representative music of that time with informative liner notes about the german historical background (which also is an important part of 20th century s world history), international artist quotes and worldwide renowned art by berlin based photographer frank thiel to an unique history lesson and listening experience. soul, funk and r&b from the us became a worldwide dance and clubbing movement during the 70s when it turned disco. in the late 70s and 80s more and more new electronic instruments like synthesizers and drum machines were added to the horn riffs and piano licks, bringing the funk back on the dance floor while still leaving it s soul untouched

arne weinberg aka onmutu mechanicks pres. his first album on echocord. being known for producing deep melodic techno, arnes alias onmutu mechanicks serves as a project for all things abstract and dub-influenced. >nocturne< combines dubtechno and the deep melodic techno that arne is known for. the result is a slightly different take on the genre, ranging from ambientesque soundscapes to dark reverberated and delayed sonic dancefloor affairs and rhythmical experiments in dub. >nocturne< is a statement of pure deepness.

arran was doing a photography course when she joined the band, and at her first rehearsal she brought along a notebook. written on it was dark room notes. we had gone through numerous terrible names, and felt this was one we could settle on. we were lucky she wasnt doing a knitting course. >we love you dark matter< was recorded in a live setting as such, keeping over dubs to a minimum.

jeroen secret cinema verheij launched gem records in december of 2009. the label represents the versatile array of sounds that verheij himself plays in his dj sets. the first two releases came from dutch super talents and secret cinema protŽgŽs egbert and peter horrevorts. welcome to my club mixed by secret cinema explores the realms of verheijs club sound and his flavors for the coming season. the package includes the latest release on gem secret cinema glad chord (gem003) and an exclusive preview of two tracks from the forthcoming ep haasten by egbert (gem004). the cd kicks off with vintage synth chords from jamie lloyd but soon twists in another direction with the sexy g-funk electro beats of big bully. after that, the cd picks up pace and reveals the energy that drives secret cinemas sets. with 20 tracks on the cd, this is one of the most action packed compilations out at the moment and takes the listener on an audible trip beyond stylistic barriers in electronic music.

when dial records started in 2000 with a bunch of friends highly inspired by deep house, detroit techno and cologne lovetunes, nobody of them ever thought about running a decent record label. the only concept david lieske, peter kersten and paul kominek had in their mind was never to be part of any proper record business, never to be controlled by any rule or trend, always to let the record label be a part of their love for music and arts. even the dial family was never intended growing that big, almost 70 percent of the artists on the first compilation are the same on >2010<, the history starting from a small label based in hamburg turned out climbing a high mountain. touching cities like detroit, tokyo, paris, berlin, buenos aires, releasing music like contemporary classic, drones and glitches, ambient, guitar pop, singer songwriter, deep house, minimal techno, discovering arts of protagonists such as michaela meise, sergej jensen, dirk stewen, hanna schwarz, anna mšller, cosima von bonin, all this fills a decade of dial records. but still the main part is the music and as we hold the 2010 compilation in our hands and listen to the tunes of phantom ghost, isolŽe, pantha du prince, carsten jost, john roberts, efdemin, lawrence, christian naujoks, dominique, rndm, pigon, kassian- we still have this enthusiastic feeling that wants to tell us: this is only the beginning

exile began his musical career in 2000, releasing drum & bass on labels such as beta and moving shadow, but as the years progressed, his sound started to become more complicated and abstract. this was mostly due to his obsession with the reaktor software, which enabled him to spend much of his time creating new and interesting sounds from scratch. his debut full-length, 2006s pro agonist, saw him add elements of breakcore to his constantly mutating yper-breakbeats, but that gradual change in style is nothing compared to the total departure that hes taken on listening tree. long-term fans may be shocked to know that listening tree is peppered with exiles own vocal tracks, as he tackles issues such as britains buy-now-pay-later culture, and even the dynamic nature of the universe on family galaxy, the first single. >family galaxy< is about the constant process of change that underpins everything, explains exile. its a tale from a thingless world where nothing stays the same. as now shines its shifting shades on then, so our ideas of what we have done and will do continually morph.the result is an eccentric electro-pop album that is just as likely to appeal to fans of hot chip as it is otto von schirach

one of the most eagerly awaited debut albums of 2009, join the q meshes the high energy of drum n bass and rock with a wide ranging set of sounds that betray the fact that the mysterious trio were a band before they took to the decks. dancehall, metal, electro, grime and hip hop all make their presence known across the album thanks to a host of respected guest vocalists. its like ram raiding the best record shop in west london with your saxos ice turned up to drown out the alarm.

italic would like to announce antonellis new album soulkiller. it is stefan schwanders aka antonellis 6th album and was produced using analogue drummachines, synthesizers and sequencers only and recorded live without any overdubs onto an old-school tape recorder. the result is amazing: antonellis house music on soulkiller is so incredibly rough and emotional that it reminds of the garage rock from the stooges. and the tracks sound as if esg was doing cover versions of moodymann. moreover, you will find flamboyant pop references, from bohannon to te r ry hall. the first single release taken from this album is the track hamilton and comes in the original version and in a remix version

this compilation presents the amazing vocal jazz recordings of a dutch lady,who already became a living legend with her 50 year stage jubilee.moreover she is constantly going strong with over 80 live performances in changing musical formations within the year 2007.

steve bug - innovator, minimal dance connoisseur, tech house master - though he s been given many prestigious titles, if theres one quality that can be best attributed to steve bug, it would be modesty. its a trait that has followed him throughout his illustrious career, from his early days as a child building guitars out of cardboard, to his early lessons in percussion at school to his beginnings as a mixtape dj to his first productions. despite the fact that hes now largely regarded as one of the founding fathers of minimal - creating his >da minimal funk< compilation over 10 years ago - and one of the most sought-after 4/4 djs booked today, bug remains truly humble when reflecting on the majestic rise from his beginnings as a dancefloor-dwelling clubber in bremen, germany to ruling his renowned dessous/poker flat empire in berlin.
