the minor key horns and creeping pass lines will scare,not ease you onto the dancefloor! (spin)

das neue album des belgischen underground superstar dj-duos the glimmers erscheint auf gomma. das erste mal das die beiden freestyle house heros nicht auf ihrem alten label eskimo veršffentlichen. >whomp that sucker< ist ein pures dance album - aufgenommen mit ihrem alten kumpel ray mang, der inzwischen ja selbst zum disco producer-star mit dfa platten-deal aufgestiegen ist. das the glimmers-album ist pure dancefloor madness

follow up to the massive >bad bad jimmy ruckus< album - a soundtrack to a very hard to find blaxploitation film!

introducing the raudive alias, he created a reduced, sexy, dancefloor-centered wave of greatness for labels from drumcode to cocoon. this sound turned out to be highly attractive for the djs to play and for the girls and boys to dance to. the unparalleled appeal of his beats left the usual minimal competitors sounding rather dull. thus raudive quickly became the blueprint of techno modernism and one of todays most influential genre-bending production styles. macro unleashes the highly anticipated debut album - chamber music. chamber music is both: claustrophobic in sound design, reminiscent of the dark and sweaty concrete club spaces this music inhabits, as well as carrying acoustic qualities of induced instrumental experimentalism. bitches brew voodoo reeds, new york no wave voices and european avant strings spin a mesmerizing dark patina around the ultra-sexy year-3000-rhythms. no wonder theres huge dj support all accross the board - from miss kittin to richie hawtin, surgeon to trevor jackson, ricardo villalobos to jeff mills. massive deep edge and one of 2010 finest albums so far!

dass armin van buuren neben seinem phaenomenalen erfolg als dj auch als artist gereift ist, beweist sein neues meisterwerk. fr >mirage< nahm sich armin 2 jahre produktionszeit und arbeitete mit erfahrenen musikern wie dem begehrten songschreiber guy chambers (robbie williams), den hit-vokalisten sophie ellis bexter & adam young (owl city) sowie seinen produzentenkollegen bt & ferry corsten in seinem studio zusammen. entsprechend liefert er auf >mirage< eine schillernde variation an unterschiedlichen styles ab: von dancefloor-killern - trance bis house - ueber feelgood-pop bis zu epischen orchestralwerken! so kann >mirage< schon jetzt als eines der dance-pop-highlight-alben des jahres 2010 bezeichnet werden!

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.

excellent unmixed compilation of nudisco, house, and electro from la s headinghome label. features 11 cuts (5 previously unreleased) from idjut boys, force of nature, michoacan, hotlips & hawkeye, and heavyhanz

kode9s grasp on the throat of bass music in 2010 is almost unparalleled. his trend setting record label, hyperdub, is in its sixth year of viral contagion, hes become a published author on the theory of sound abuse and sonic frequencies being used as weaponry in his book >sonic warfare< and his production work has mutated from an almost simplistic marriage of beats and sine waves into a fusion of dancefloor ebonics and discordant synths!

man/machine: viennas elektro guzzi challenge the meaning of >live< in electronic music. bored of laptop sets? with a >classic< setup of guitar, bass and drums elektro guzzi quantize themselves to an unheard level of discipline, tightness and danceability. no computers, no pre-recorded loops, no solos. probably the first time techno is really played live. as sequential as they may sound, they couldnt be more analogue. but however traditional they may look as a band, they certainly do not sound like one. the quest for the ultimate live presentation of techno has come to an end. produced by patrick pulsinger (hercules & love affair, m-plant, cheap), the album is a masterstroke resulting in great dancefloor movers, state of the art analogue recordings and a prime showcase of elektro guzzis incredible creative capabilities. played live with no overdubs, this record breaks down the demarcation line separating man and machine. everything in techno has been done? you aint heard nothing yet. !!! elektro guzzi live at s—nar (barcelona), berghain (berlin), fabric (london), trouw (amsterdam), spring festival (graz), flex (vienna), rote sonne (munich), mellow festival (sofia) and maaaany more

the sound of phenomenal handclap band is an anthemic, dancefloor-oriented blend of progressive rock, disco, electro, and 60s soul with sprinklings of hip hop-styled orchestral breakbeats and moody, synth-soaked & heavy hooks.a rock spectacle-supergroup that really is not to be missed!

yes, it comes full circle- fuckponys long-player for ravers in love and for raved out lovers who are still going long after peak time. a self-contained album with powerful melodic arches and a great dramatic underscoring of house, embedded in tradition but not dwelling on the past. ten tracks, each unique and self-sufficient, held together through love: the love of music, of house, of berlin, of parties, of all of you out there. so in this sense, love it also! real love is forever...

this summer beni will continue to reign the dancefloor supreme with a new monster slab of black plastic, maximus featuring vocals from the mighty sam sparro. who put the fun in acid-funk you ask? the answer is: beni did. a low-slung exercise in dark and dirty arpeggiated sleaze, maximus marries a sparse bubble-groove that creeps up behind you and licks your ear with a very purple vocal performance by sparro to devastating effect. the resulting track is something akin to kiss-era prince and friends dirty dancing at a toga party while ancient rome burns down around them. on the flipside beni and nicky night time give maximus a night-time re-dub rubdown, taking the track away from the creepy funk freak and towards a straighter slammer jammer, favouring blatant dancefloor manipulation over the subtle and the sexy. also featured (and included on the next kitsune maison 7 installment) is fringe element, which encapsulates the feeling of surfing on a shooting star like never before, with beni sitting proudly at the controls. an electronic orchestra of descending basslines, vocoder snippets, bleeps and acid squeaks, fringe element caps off another compelling chapter in benis lifelong voyage through dance. after the cover of his first ep my love sees you made by geneviíve gauckler, his new 12 is illustrated by french artist andre.

this album finds an alternative, conveying a global positive mood and dancefloor energy. it is an experiment that combines organic sounds with electronic music and features many brazilian jazz and samba musicians, such as the 60 years-old samba-rock legend marku ribas on the track cosmic man, and the wellrespected trombone player bocato, in an unexpected samba-jazz version of pontape. techno producer and long-lasting friend technasia also collaborated closely with renato at the different stages of the production of the album, including mixing and mastering.

in cars we rust is their debut album, and it presents the most complete picture of exercise ones world to date. the dancefloor stormers are still there, and the records flow is guided by the same spirit of improvisation that drives their live sets. but the clubbier material is rounded out by sounds weve never heard from exercise one before: gorgeous, enveloping ambient tracks soundtrack-ready synthesizer ballads even a kind of retro-futurist electro-pop.

this fourth label compilation presents all dancefloor burners of the last 12 months on cocoon recordings in a diversified and coherent mix: martin buttrich, schneider & galluzzi, guy gerber, tiefschwarz, reboot, adam proll and timo maas undisputedly belong to the group of artists who have enhanced electronic dance music in the past year.

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.
