dave offers us 2 club bombs with okinawa dance and ocean club. the refined sound of dave dk has been lately on alot releases in the form of remixes but it is still the original productions which shines through. both tracks groove like hell with the familiar funky bass and tricky synth production we love him for

played by: ricardo villalobos, luciano, magda, dan curtin, zip,.. its been a great year soo far for the talented mr. haze, as he continues to push the boundries of electronic dance music. this record is a clear cut example of why things started to get real, real hot all of a sudden. with this special release, jay s first release on the label he started 7 years ago - jay translates what it is like to be >big pimping< in berlin, germany. jay moved to the electronic music mecca just 3 years ago and has steadily advanced through one of the most competitive market places with lightining speed. so in some sense this record >berlin pimping part2< is another fond dedication record to the city which provides soo much for jay. (the first was jay s record on german label musik krause >berlin pimpin/love affair<)

again the boys of slam mode are back in the house and this one is no less slammin. >neveah< is a mish mash of volatile electronic percussion that creates nothing less than so nic mayhem. this mayhem expands riding steady underneath melodic yet techy strings. >afuera de sitio< departs through endless atmospheric melodies and piercing synth lines. the rapis linear movement transfers the pulsing microrhythms and hybrid sub bass into the void. another solid outing for fans of deep techy yet soulful and organic releases ala ame >rej< and the new flavors being pushed by claussell and francois k

eveybody s gay... suggests however a musical idea that could not be simpler, a kind of atonal electronic blues with a recurring motif. yet, everything hinges on keyboards riffs and song rendering which allow d.i.p to bowl us over exultantly. if everybody s gay... is playing on self-restraint, on the b-side perfect day launches a head-on attack on the dancefloor with overworked disco-techno-rock intentions…and, present as always, those acid-electro-gut-wrenching tones. we can also notice that florian s personality shines out in broad daylight, as if it was possible, amazingly playing on voices. seducing and convincing. everybody is definitely ok: if a second ep is always a decisive test for a producer, d.i.p. compels recognition on the popular credibility form. moreover those little brats take advantage of the opportunity to sign right through the sheet

the members of my my met and became friends through common interests in music, but it wasnt until they ended up as neighbours in berlins mitte, that a lifestyle of committed partying, cake baking and long studio sessions lead to their debut release on playhouse >klatta< in early 2005. it was the result of previously downtempo producer lee jones (hefner) working and partying with local berlin djs nick höppner and carsten kleeman, who are residents respectively at panorama bar and watergate. following up their recent fantastic 12inch on circus company butterflies & zebras is beautifully tripped-out expansive ambient house, summer after-hours here we come! recorded live with nick and lee layering fx over the organic percussion as the mix develops. an acid infused bassline is slowly opened out as layers of lush strings and shimmering pads are teased into the arrangement. on moneybowl the boys show the more jacking side of my my. taught and lean with a groove that keeps on evolving, while weird and wonderful bleeps and clicks bounce around the mix. for the remix, john dahlbäck twists the pads from the original and adds his own synth stabs. then pulls out a bassline and arrangement that jumps straight onto the dancefloor

the first single on kanzleramt from their newly signed dutch artist peter horrevorts !! two harmonic and affectionately tracks for those great dancefloor feelings through the early morning dancing hours

originally released on dark house music s seminal >trackhead series< some years ago this monster of a track receives the remix and remaster treatment on its own 12inch courtesy of mark williams and terry mitchell . not in his usual style at all, rush takes an atmospheric, and yet still extremely tough journey through the brazilian outback.

>get on up< was dj rush s biggest stike so far. with remixes of the best techno producers like eric sneo, thomas p. heckmann, chris liebing and rob acid, t:classixx pushed the track in the clubbers heart. back in the days sven wittekind and robert natus take the tune to other level. on the a side you will find the sven wittekind remix. whose interpretation is a hard, rugged one that seems to be coming alive the longer it lasts. vocal stabs, an enormous dose of hi-hat action and noisy twisters make this one very useful being played at the bigger venues. robert natus is responsible for the second mix of the track on the flipside. the german-based producer delivers a remix in his so characteristic style, as can also be heard on his releases through labels such as systemcalls, planet natus, abstract or bitshift music..

a new drift is emerging from america and she s in the middle of it: kate iwanowicz aka miskate is not only co-founder of the highly respected foundsound-label from philadelphia, but also a high-definition producer in its own right. after several ep s on her s and others labels like microcosm records she now pays a visit to karloff to expand her boundaries and fuelling the eclectic cut-up-funk she s already known for with solid, defined beats, boosting the focus on the dancefloor as another target to be aimed at. however the steady drive obtains the required substance through interspersed well-crafted distractions like filleted choirs and hymnal strings, constantly winding through the structure and blazing it up. brilliantly reflective and ecstatic at the same time this record gives you more than just a seasonal tempest in a teapot

after numerous toktok-tracks and a couple of solo eps s. küchenmeister submits a journey through his sound-universe with >anti age< !! from heavy stomping techno smashers to sample-based tracks, producing a more sophisticated atmosphere of dance energy ..

excellent four tracker by citizens international taking you on a journey through different styles of music as hip hop funk pop techno and more dont miss this record

bryan zentz (aka barada, faculty x, bryan never) is known as the professor amongst the intec posse, a thoughtful individual who takes an intelligent approach to his music. bryan first made his name in electronic music as barada (the name was taken from a star wars character) on richie hawtin and john acquaviva s legendary definitive label with now classic releases such as >medicine drum< and >glue<. after a string of singles on labels like experimental, bush and clashbackk among others, the time came for a full length barada album >strategies for a deeper design< released through definitive and virgin canada. and it was that rare thing, a house album that told a story

new get physical sublabel !! these tracks are powerful and somewhat sinister affairs that make most sense when experienced as a blinding strobe light cuts through the back drop of dry ice in a darkened club.marsha sets a completely different tone. its still based on the same blend of windy city funk and intricate electronic rhythms, but the way that the seductive, chiming chords and dreamy break down unfold over the steely drums suggest that einzelkind has fallen in love. certainly, itll be hard not to be seduced by this layered, evocative track, especially if you hear it after a long night spent listening to intense techno.so there you have it: get physical has dragged a new label, kindisch. kicking and screaming into this world: let it be the place where you go to get all your teenage kicks!

nice price deal !!! a powerful production aptly named as it does sound like a train thundering through the speakers a dark train no less. sogrecords dont seem to have poor in their dictionary every track they release is of the highest quality prog and always refreshingly original. all three mixes are superb and come highly recommended

killer electrohouse track with this well known vocal sample looped perfectly through the track a must have

idj calls them the next big thing and they could just be right, with a sound unmatched by anyone else on the scene, these boys prove blood still runs thick through the veins of breakbeat and theres no sign of it fading just yet

san fran producer john howard comes with wiggling, rolling snare-driven beats with mad percussive sounds bouncing in and out, a moody chord that cuts through like a knife, sparkling synth sounds on top and cut-up vocal snippets.. the b side is a favourite for derrick carter fans..

here we go with another wicked release of eric sneo on his label beatdisaster records. to continue the style of his famous hit record >ciao bella<, he chose another well known sample from the 80s, which is processed through several filters and effects. stephen hawking delivers the voice and title >black hole<, explaining some conclusions of his theory...

legendary series to be continued with 2 acts from the uk. first >cool cuts< releases have been much in demand, and peeps are still trying to get hold of them - if you are lucky! a side is a brilliant track by the b-siderz - in the vein of some more proper house sounding stuff with nice sublime guitars struggling their way thru 2 big breaks complemented with an pushing b line and sophisticated acid sounds in between. other side is our beloved ma saski from manchester with an already massive electro tinged primetime stomper. the guys from the >tribal gathering< camp play around with some b lines emphasising those little but most effectual breaks through a wicked male poetry. mind you, that tune goes on and on without getting lame - dj linus always starts his sets with that tune - big!

2003 classic i cube release taking you on a journey through different styles of electronic music a must have

a wicked full vocal soulful cut featuring the vocal talents of uk diva kele le roc following up the massive lesson learnt which was released late last year through us osiris also includes undergrounddub on the flip produced with assistance from karizma

beluga on the a-side is a an exciting mixture of old school house elements paired with pumping modern electronic house sounds jacked up with sophistication, perhaps hence the name >beluga<? >strobe< on b1 is an hypnotizing minimal loopy groove-monster and >u-bahn< on b2 takes you on a ride through the berlin tube system. your sound wagon passes several break stations, soundwise and figuratively. gui chose this name because it reminds me of the movement of an u-bahn while in berlin 7 years ago

bounding out from her hard techno roots, misstress barbara takes off in this new release, showcasing her love for all that is good music. refusing the standard one-genre-one–sound that most djs get pushed into, she walks over her own boundaries and treads off into the world of other genres. while stripping away the hard driven beats her fans relate her name to, she moves through an electro funk tech-house and minimal spell, throwing in her usual floor hitter that she will never really leave behind. with her new release >come with me…<, misstress barbara brings you two fresh tracks that.. dance floor go crazy.

>short life< is a so to say old-school-hook with all those beautiful chicago-sounds, rolling over the clubfloor and absolutely done by a djs mind. on the flipside >dirty hairy< is walking late at night through sin-city, strolling around with some spooky sirens and at least there is no nites end… …for the likes of villalobos…supported by luciano, m.a.n.d.y., ali schwarz, tom clark & woody !!!

already played by karotte, an exciting 3-track ep. the a-side >cinematique< starts with a dark bass and a special rave-line, which leads you through the whole track. banging claps and sharp hihats makes this track a good choice for ecstatic moments on the dancefloor. the b-side boasts >praymantis<, a track reminiscent of old 808 state tracks, but stripped down to modern and soulful acid house. the second track on the b-sdie is >domina< which rounds up this versatile ep and has this special oldschool house feeling of releases on hibias or from don carlos from the beginning of the 90s. a smart and relaxed journey from clubs peak time to smart afterhour sessions

the danish born producer and dj christian bloch, actually living in san francisco (usa),is well known for his releases on simple muzik, deep night essentials, ll records, tresor records, reconstructed records and on funque droppings (bloch s own label). his edits of two tracks of plastikman s >closer< album and sean deason s >the shit< brought him a great reputation as remixer, too. his musical style ranges from berlin dub through classic detroit beats to english minimalism

the man who along with long-time partner alan braxe has risen through the ranks to become one of the pivotal masterminds in the gallic house movement steps out alone for his debut release (albeit aptly assisted by fellow defender partner savage on the double-a side cut). the midtempo >omega man< opens proceedings and is clearly cut from the same cloth that linus loves used to fashion >the terrace< - a stevie nicks parody that will similarly be used as a musical bed for tv shows all year long. >wait for love< meanwhile is rich in parisian charm - filters set to maximum and compression on extra high - warm, melodic, simple and yet highly complex and distinctly french-sounding making this another bass throbbing must-have purchase

1st time ever on 12inch , the huge michael jackson sampling >lust< which appeared on thomas album from bush . huge filtered tech disco with that massive sample etched the whole way through. includes the >base twelve mix< the flip.

big city music has this very special hip-shaking beat construct. the track just starts with one hihat, one short shaker, dry claps paired with two simple lead sounds. one of them repeating itself until the end and one to be morphed up and down, increasing and decreasing all the time. an exciting journey through changing tone lengths and different faces of at least one melody. on the flip side you find >asanebo<, another unique smasher. again this funky groove, but the sound surrounding comes a bit more spheric and mystic. an excellent track to loose yourself on the floor

aka troy pierce (minus), enemy love ( cover y our face ) is a collection of dark eerie and sometimes twisted minimal techno tracks. all the tracks sit together in a similar v ein, but all shine indiv idually and the album walks the ambigious line between dancef loor hits and af ter hours jams. tunes like the anthemic grace (anxiety ) with its almost post-punk v ocal and hy pnotic, twangy melody is sure to send dancef loors ov er the edge. ref lected and leav ing take y ou down a darker path of introspection with the help of gibby millers dark, brooding v ocals. this album will push and pull y ou through a tripped-out laby rinth of sounds, sad and heavy-hearted at times powerful and full of grace others

the young gun is back and is # 1 with a bullet. after his fabulous circle pit ep. the much talked about newcomer mathias kaden is putting his money where his mouth is with this monster ep. the pentaton ep is another twisted rumble through dark and bleepy terrain. this time mathias steps up the swing and shuffles you furiously around the room like a drunk sailor on a sinking ship. deep bleep to move the most hardened partyier. check!

incl remixes by mark & john big in dj mag !!! + support by charles webster, rob mello, franco de mulero, markus enochson, john digweed & jesper dahlbäck , version 1 is an extended etheral dubbed out trip, full of the funkiest bass around and some ghostly minimalist melodies. on version 2 the drums begin in an almost military fashion as the deep electronic bass pulse marches through the mix. mark o sullivan, from the legendary dk7 and the mighty quark, teams up with john dahlback to deliver dirty tech-house..
