franklin de costa is someone we have been following since his first releases on trapez ltd. we still believe >kronn< on curle014, franklins debut for curle, is one of the strongest tracks we have released so far on the label. this >fragile ep< gives again a great taste of franklins qualities as a producer. whereas the title track is definitely the one on here with the biggest peaktime dancefloor potential, the three other tracks show franklins firm talent and diversity in crafting organic deep house tracks that step out of the ordinary. truly a special ep.

plastic city asked 4 of the best german producers and remixers to give their interpretation of timewriters album beauty >pasodoble<. and here they are: and.id, kruse & nuernberg, pol_on and junior gee!

tiagos >disambiguation< begins like an aural sea, with a surface made of synthesized swells that rise, fall and crest again. beneath these waves are briefly clangorous metallic noises, searing electro hisses, long-armed synth stretches, and a never ending beat. there are moments of understated beauty floating through this perfect marriage of disco and house, sounds that are there and gone: a bassline that stairsteps and synthetic strings that follow suit: playful keyboard melodies, and percussion provided by tiago himself, who fell in love with music when he learned to play drums as a kid. >nada a perder< (>nothing to lose<) shies away from the extravagance suggested by its name and instead feels relaxed – at least at its outset. against shape shifting synths and the sound of piano house, percussion takes a leading role here, including finger snaps and clanging cowbells. the energy builds to a peak but, even when things are at their most frenetic, this track never loses its studied composure. tiago mirandas remixes and releases have been issued on disco devil, italians do it better, rong music, ene, hands of time, eskimo and claremont 56. he is one half of dj duos slight delay, the sea power & change, and mendes & alçada, and also handles mutiple duties in the band gala drop. tiago has been djing seven hour sets almost every weekend for more than a decade at the infamous lux in lisbon, portugal.

two big edits here from the italian isoul8 aka volcov, feat. obviously two of the greatest voices on our planet, dancefloor-action guaranteed - enjoy the vinyl!

based in buenos aires, toomy disco (real name mariano iliuta) represents another success story in the rise of bedroom electronica in recent years. the full album and the tracks here on age of the jaguar ep were recorded entirely at marianos home with relatively basic computer software and, while he is still only 22 years old, the resulting music is every bit as compelling as contemporaneous efforts from like-minded electronic artists daft punk, mylo, mstrkrft, alan braxe and tensnake. age of the jaguar helps to cement toomys status as a leading light in the next generation.

first on decks .de !!! sa007 sees perc and modern heads create the first collaborations between these two core stroboscopic artefacts artists. the result is a punishing hybrid of percs dubstep tendencies and modern heads cutting techno. a-side >mendax< is cavernous. built upon solid dub foundations, it spills over into grinding, metallic territory. if the titles to be believed it takes inspiration from the shady world of lies and deceit. the atmosphere seems to agree, theres certainly something mendacious at work here. b1 takes the eps atmosphere and adds abrasion. in >percdax< cold, hard percussion is layered over a bed of warm dub. closer >moddax< errs on the eerie. it skulks, is full of sticky bleeps and the result is unnervingly dubbed out. all three track titles share the same suffix and if this indicates that they also share one quality its that theyre best heard in the glinting shadows of a club just before day break. sa007 was craftily mastered by artefacts mastering, berlin.

ali kuru is one of the most popular turkish house djs. here he delivers some sweet modern house tracks in a extremly limited run of stamped white label copies,green vinyl on sound architecture. peak time tracks made to get the club crowd bounce! gipsy lady and the high tensioned builder marrakesh are smooth grooving and still powerful cuts. the title track goes a little more adventurous with jazzy piano and more in your face attitude that garantuees a stir on the floor. sharp tools for all serious club jocks!

we warned you a few months ago: mumbai science is here to stay ... their ancova ep got major support over the summer from big names such as 2 many djs, boys noize, crookers, brodinski, erol alkan, ... (you get the picture)
mumbai science just finished its third ep on lektroluv records and they couldnt have picked a better name for its upcoming release: >gold< !
the new ep contains 1 mumbai science original, a remix by noob and a remix by nt89. you can decide for yourself which one is bronze, which one is silver and which one is gold. but one thing is certain: you will be taken to the next level.
mumbai science is here.
