this is the second release on erol alkan and dan staceys phantasy sound label, after the debut release - la priests >engine<. this limited 12inch is debut single from primary 1 aka joe flory, who makes the kind of sleazy electronic pop that will have pharrell looking over his shoulder. crammed full of punchy guitar riffs, heavy kick drums and with distinctive falsetto vocals - this is 21st century disco for the ipod generation, a fresh and unique take on a classic sound, also includes remixes from future french talent in the shape of yuksek and the shoes, yukseks effort is aimed squarely at the dancefloor jugular, whereas the shoes have gone for a more understated punk funk approach - all cowbells and throwback synths, plus a handy yuksek dub is included for those of you who prefer less vocals

death is nothing to fear 3 is the third installment of spectral sounds compilation series, focused on bringing forward new voices in the world of techno. brought together by an equally brash and nuanced take on tonal manipulation, the four artists presented here - finlands sami koivikko, berlin- by - way - of detroits seth troxler, chicagos kate simko and ann arbors 2am/fm (james t. cotton and d marc cantu) - contribute a vast yet tightly controlled understanding of the compilations theme. what unfolds is a tough and modern ride through international techno and house.

leandro gamez aka cio. leandro gamez is one of the most revered veteran producers in the spanish techno scene. his first records for the german label ongaku or his productions for fieber with his name as well as his nicknames cio and shared work make him one of the names to take into account in the european techno music industry. currently, as cio, he has released successful original tracks and high quality remixes for labels such as software, blackout77, subconce, miga and cray 1 labworks amongst others. he has now published the thirteenth release on subconce records

one of the stand out tracks from osunlades excellent artist album elelments beyond from early 2007 hits the shelves with a plethora of remixes from dj gregory, deetron and manoo stella. dj gregory does what he does best, building and layering tribal rhythms with techy beats with a touch of off key xylophone action thrown in for good measure. the manoo stella mix starts deep before big pads and synths take it in a near progressive direction, while deetron strips things right back and does away with most of the vocal for a pounding house rhythm perfect for the late night clubs. a great track made better by a set of slick remixes makes this a promising start to 2008 for strictly rhythm and osunlade.

the tracks from the recently released full length of nublu orchestra beg for remixes, and the underground resistance militiamen take up the task for sketches of nyc. the i 80 mix is a big thumper, using a scatted vocal line and dissonant horn hits from the original to add drama to the build of an acid bassline and some tastefully tribal drums. the seventh tunnel mix falls squarely in the tech jazz genre that was essentially invented by the detroit collective. the original elements of sketches are used generously, with what seems like a grace note on the upright being turned into a looped bassline, over which the lead vocals and saxophone ping back and forth. must have!!

remixed by whitenoise, knightlife & zzz last time i wrote about the bag raiders fun punch i went on some rant about me being in ibiza, on the floor in the main room at pacha, listening to erick more morillo play filtered french house, i had my hand s the air, the lasers were in full effect, the italian girls were looking fine and my ecstasy was working overtime. i declared that it would of been the best song of the nite, a song so great that you would of bathed in ericks sweat and wouldn t feel at all weird about it at all. now after caning this every set all over the world in the last 6 months i take it back. all of it

alora…from sebo k, sleeper thief, audiofly, anthony colllins, sian, marcin czubala to manuel de lorenzi. best feedback for the new 8bit record from the smart italian guy. manuel de lorenzi is definately one rising star to watch out for in 2008..carving his own fresh style and insight into his prodcutions, he delivers a fine ep for 8bit..>coconuts< is a slow burner, with punchy chord stabbs and deep haunting pads that take you nicely on a journey. on the flipside >something< is a more subtle, deep n dark groover. nick curly is brought in on remix duties keeping it close to the orginal yet delivering a more housed up percussive affair. a great ep and great start to 2008!

felix dickinson and toby tobias team up to great effect under the name of the mythical beasts on the newie from hector works. low slung funk bass and disco claps and synths make the original a sleazy discoid workout par excellence and as if that wasnt enough both q burns abstract message and nick chacona & anthony mansfield are on the mixes too. q burns mix is nothing to write home about in truth but chacona and chum do good things on their take, upping the tempo and aiming it squarely at the floor. hot!

for the final of the simple sounds ep, we bring in the disco courtesy of two of wills favourite fellow artists. putsch 79 take wills album cut >speak & spell< deeper and darker but maintain wills original chord progression. the undulating dark disco mix slowly evolves into a fabulous euphoric crescendo that’s already proving to be irresistible to our feet. on the flip, northern lads 2020 soundsystem, led by ralph lawson and dubble d, re-interpret wills underground classic pause in their signature live style.

modern electrohouse 2 tracker by julien l aka digital mode.

this time we ve taken a trip to israël where deep a & vek are from. these two youngsters produce deep and hypnotising minimal that is hugely inspired by heroes like chaim or guy gerber. they gave us three tracks that each and every one are a story on itself. all tracks take their time to build up to a climax and bubble out into soundscaped synth lines and carefully constructed melodies, aiming not only on the mind, but also at your feet.

incl michael gray remix !! splittr is the meeting of minds of martijn ten velden and mark yardley (from stanton warriors fame), two of modern dance musics biggest production heavyweights. as splittr, mark and martijn combine their collective skills and tastes to produce a dance/rock hybrid (new order infected guitar part) and a very fresh take on electronic music. in fact they started the project to give them the opportunity to split awayfrom any preconceptions people may have of them and any musical restrictions dance music genres can create. their first release, >all alone< (which sees mark take on vocal duties), has already created an underground buzz, with pete tong playing it on almost a weekly basis from the start of the year, regular spot plays on radio1 and major support coming from the likes of roger sanchez and deep dish. splittr are clearly set to take their sound worldwide

modern minimal, which isnt very minimal at all? confused? take a listen/tip

a side feat an electrohouse mix on the public enemy classic. flip for a laidback luke take on lenny kravitz classic are gonna go my way

its almost 4 years to the day that jeff samuels >throatwobbler mangrove ep< was released on karloff #03, and even today the four world hits of the record are getting digged out by djs, when the minimalism needs to either groove or jack again. so now with >return of the throatwobbler< theres finally an appropriate follow-up by the man from seattle.. erm.. berlin, after he’s impressively run riot in the meantime, on labels like spectral, trapez, poker flat, frankie and logistic. the a-side >terso< is shuffling and twirling and bouncing in such a winsome way that not many can master like jeff samuel. almost like an electric ray - left and right and left, and without letting any tempting gimmicks take the mind off the straight path. appropriately enough, >the spook< on the b-side comes along a bit more spookily, with a bassline twisting into the brain, ripped up by miniatures of bleeps and chords just in the right moments, and thus leading the track to an agile, exhilarated climax

here s an appetizer before the full length nebraska album drops on dl. vicarious disco (alt. mix) is a slightly different mix of one of the key album tracks, a combination of an insistent looped up riff, soaring orchestral strings, and a hot nickels synth bassline. me me me goes more juan style techno, all portamento slides and peppered staccato melodies a jacker! for the b side, we asked one of our all-time favorite producers to remix vicarious disco soul 223, aka stasis. its similar in style to his other soul 223 stuff, his personalized take on detroit beatdown house.

quentin harris and timmy regisford keep up the pressure with another booming modern garage take.

big berghain sure-shot ! striking again from the mountains of nagano, japan jerome sydenham and hideo kobayashi (nagano kitchen), serve up a sizzling ep. the track >gsxr 810< is straight up techno beef stew! where as >no traffic in nagano< goes deeper with humping beats and sultry overtones. last but not least >climbing tateshina< is simply driving with many intricate layers that really do take you on that journey. enjoy!

kontra-musik 006 moves the label into the analog domain of electronic dance music. this kind of sound you only get with the good old analogues. the a-side, produced by the master of the modular system, pseudonym scaff, takes us deep down our favorite techno memory lane. if techno was the meeting of kraftwerk and george clinton in an elevator, ssm 440 is the outcome of jeff mills and maurizio having breakfast at tiffanys. this track is warm, dubby and monotonous but with a drive heading straight for the late night dance floor. the b-side gives us two unique sounding tracks from pseudonym aparatus. city tunnel slowly and elegantly grinds, cranks and turns while building its way towards dance floor bliss. x-presso is best described as periodic fluctuations of voltages in the analog domain. elegant details of beautiful sound take us back to the time when minimal music still was interesting. this is >techno< in the sense that the term was originally intended. enjoy cause analog is the bastard

loved by: laurent garnier, dave clarke (top 10!!) and funk d void, featured on bbc essential by deep dish !! the third installment in the dk7 remix series. an across the board affair where scene stalwarts slam take the dark path to the floor with heart like demon,steve rachmads two schools of thought on life is everywhere and 6am weather girl fan phil kieran dubs it up. in 2001 >the difference< was released on dk recordings as the seventh release and it later got licensed to output recordings,thus the project was called dk7. dk7 recordings was funded by jesper dahlbäck and mark o sullivan and is not to be associated with dk recordings.

duracel makes a shock return with the hole in head ep. five funky, melodic and futuristic robot tracks which take electronic pop to a new level. former unit moebius member duracel previously featured on bunker records, dub and viewlexx.

with tuomas salmela aka phonogenic, we welcome one of the most established finnish techno and house producers, with releases on 2020 vision, poker flat, moodmusic or f-com-munications. salmelas sound has something dark, reminding of the long finnish winters and cold nights. he does not feast in old times or posts the question of oldskool or newskool, but simply has produced something really new, without getting lost in clicks n cuts or doing too much sound research. phonogenic uses sentimental harmonies and stringent direct beats, that dont need complex building arrangements, but come to the point rather quickly and make clear where the journey will take us. similarly to guy gerber, phonogenics productions also are somewhere in between techno and houseand even use elements of trance. however, salmelas productions always make the impression of being well planned and moody

yelle, the explosive rappin french girl, is covering an 80s electro-pop hit. when its mastered by her friend tepr, our friends punks jump up and riot in belgium : its a hit in the two hemispheres. parlez vous français ? yelle is young and pretty. also a very explosive character entering the more rigid french pop scene. this stage freak with a unique flow is fully driving the new non-aggressive girl power scene, focusing on delivering kick-ass lyrics. she also doesnt take herself seriously and is refreshingly laidback, especially when she proudly covers the song >a cause des garcons< (>what we do for boys<) a french 80s anthem, so thrilling and amusing, that it looks like a sure hit for the charts this summer. tepr has just released a single on wall of sound and hes back with his thrilling remix.

advancing from the success of his well received acrobotics ep joel harrison continues to develop his take on techno infused deep house with his latest sonic offering: future revolutions ep. first up comes acid boom with effected tabla percussion leading the way into a tough acid bassline, an irresistable kick/hat combination and continues to build with deep driving chords. second comes technicalities, which moves into a more minimal soundscape with a bumping rubber band bassline and filtered chord stabs. clean production and a tight mix will make this a winner for deep house and techno headz alike.
