triple vinyl album by dasha rush, full of technoid, minimalistic, electroid, trippy dubbed-out tracks and soundscapes. time to get lost!

defqon.1 australia started a few years ago with the big dutch names and the upcoming artists from australia. this event has grown and the harddance music had a big boost downunder. this years anthem is made by headhunterz who is seen as one of the biggest names in the hardstyle scene! a pounding track made by scrap ...

when you have already spent the first half of the year celebrating a grammy nomination, an idma (international dance music awards) nomination for your worldwide radio show, residencies and tours at the biggest clubs in the world, and worked with the black eyed peas and faithless, how the hell do you start the second half? if you are the biggest export in uk dance music, namely mark knight, then you release your third epic toolroom knights mix album... and here we have selected some of the biggest tracks from the album: the first track is the co-production competition winning entry >headers & volleys< from mark knight, drew scott & hollywood hills, strict border >reboot me<, album exclusive >bad bread< by george andrews and nic fanciullis remix of loco dices >definition<.
the second part of a double vinyl sampler that will be lighting up the biggest dancefloors.

remixes von nicolas jaar und ed bangers boogie-revivalist breakbot! matthew dears black city is an opus of bacchanalian futurism, then second single >you put a smell on me< is its presumptive climax—an unblinking industrial march to the center of the brains most neglected corners. its drums are militant, its pace is unswerving, and the squarewave synths that start falling like mortar shells are searing and wide-eyed. then theres the marbled voice of dear himself, pent-up and sexually charged, beckoning you for a ride in his big black car. its the sound of staring down the part of yourself that you are most afraid of. if that seems too daunting, theres always the dub version. when mirrored through the eyes of others specifically wolf + lamb prodigy nicolas jaar and ed bangers resident boogie revivalist, breakbot — >you put a smell on me< starts to feel less lobotomizing. jaars version is a sullen, scratchy, headphone-ready beat trip—atmospheric vibraphone samples here, stilted kicks and snares there, all of it amorphously affecting together. and breakbot has no problem hamming it all up into the sort of blithe electro-funk every prom night deserves.

big with: dubfire, roberto rodriguez, mijk van dijk, karotte, kissy sell out, makossa, david durango, aga heller, franksen, dan mangan, greg churchill, louis osbourne,.. following the huge >human you< (moon033) the much loved disco bear ante perry returns in a double-trouble beatdown head-to-head with tube & berger.just pure and simply an anthem, >ever never< is the type of record that you know you ll love even before its started. drenched in melancholic synth pop melody, heart-warming bass lines and euphoric moments, this future classic builds to a real finale!stereofunk provide a techier remix that treads the colourful lines between disco, tech house and cosmic exploration! soaring synths and funking basslines combine in this italo-inspired treat for the dancefloor

donovans are back with >freakshow / krosscut<, >freakshow< is some kind of a cathedralistic anthem, with which they often start their dj set as this particular track can face any big tune, combining quite slow syncopated bassdrums, a killer melody, getting in your brain... >krosscut< is more a classic track from donovans, done on purpose for the dancefloor, ultra efficient, a bit fidget, naughty, the kind of nu techno we like here in citizen records ! fukkk offf & chaos in the cbd (duo from nu-zealand) are in the story too! fukkk offf gives some of his technoid skillness on >krosscut< a bit >à la fukkk offf<, then chaos in the cbd proposes us an old school house remix, using the current production tools, this will give all the music lovers a remembrance from the old days (this remix is already played by teki latex & many other frenchy!) >the french duo comes back with a bump-house bomb, hysterical breaks, extatic horn & powered bass, you got all< tsugi

nsyde music is happy to announce their first installment for this label. daso franke a.k.a. daso shows on nsyde music his deepest soul and his irresistable sense for activating great emotions. >why try< includes a certain warmth and invites every listener to slow down and float on a streched timeline that lets time and space pass by. shown to fred p, who inmediatly fell in love with the elegiac melancholy of the track, the idea of a remix was born. fred p alters the strechted timeline to a straight forward moving one. like an unstopable train ride the track starts to build up, step by step, ending up at cruising speed when the sublime warm chords hit reade truth opens up a big space for the original melody, the percussion work and the punchy bassdrum is just the right basis for the melody to meander. getting support from the likes of keith worthy, daniel bell, basic soul unit, efdemin etc. , this is gonna be something for the heads out there!

released on the always reliable hit farm neon gold, which has given the world marina & the diamonds, ellie goulding, your twenties and penguin prison among others, starsmith is a super-hip young producer who has worked with ellie on her album, as well as remixing marina, passion pit, nerd and loads of others. its a scorching electro-tinged pop demon, glam without the cheese, and reminiscent of the kind of smashes that the french house lords of the mid 90s (like fred falke and alan braxe - more on him later...) were ruling dance music with. great sample from an old ritchie family (clip below...) disco stomper from the 80s which powers the whole thing with a undeniable hands-in-the-air vibe. a big autumn hit!

metalheadz are proud to back subwaves most deadly and innovative tracks to date which will push the russian to the forefront of most talked about artists. watch out for his forthcoming debut album to follow soon on metalheadz. with d+b bigger than ever before on a global scale, there is nowhere more up-and-coming than russia, and subwave is right at the heart of the moscow scene. gleb started to make music with production partner alexander rotov over ten years ago, grabbing early attention from the late john peel with there debut release on tech itch recordings in 2001. more tunes followed with a remix of tiesto (with paul b) getting which gained huge attention stateside, with a 12inch on goldies metalheadz label following gleb going solo. not only a talented producer, gleb is also held in high regard as both a dj and promoter. he successfully marries ice cold minimalism with wide open dancefloor sonics, and with huge support from the likes london elektricity, hype, fabio, and of course goldie, expect more subwave in your system shortly

all the sounds you want to hear just come rushing out to you in all the right places in this great ep from mladen tomic who is accompanied by eclectic remixes from a couple of the finest techno stars: lutzenkirchen and markantonio.the funky kick descends into darkly atmospheric numbers of driving upbeat tech house rhythms.these are a couple of the biggest tracks featuring now on night light records.

the third release of the new label >lets get lost< which was started by mule musiq and force of natures kza. this third release is by uk producer extrodinaire leo zeros remix of the uks florence & the machine. this leo zero remix was released on only cd single and itunes in 2009. when i received this remix from the agent of leo zero i fell in love with it immediately. it was one of the biggest tracks for me in the last year but was never released on vinyl. leo zero reconstructed the aesthetic alternative rock (like a pumping cocteau twins!?) to very emotional house music. its simply good music and not only for the dance floor. greg wilson has edited it into a semi instrumental version which has never been released on any format. this release is official bootleg for limited press! dont miss it!!

nice price deal !!! for their fifth release todd bodine (highgrade, treibstoff, mothership) joined the cologne based label klangfarbe schallplatten and created a high-quality ep, which is hard to find today. duplexer (a1) initially allocates with bongos in space, to furthermore stabilize itself with more bass, percussion and volume, which leads into a durable, massive flow that s willing to persist bigger club duties as well. alpha (b2) is structurized akin to duplexer, but celebrates the true force, the true might of minimal by the use of consistently repetition of beat- and sound patterns as also psychedelic acid-parts in good, old plastikman tradition. morning breeze on b2 finally starts warmer and more housy, in a deep and easy lean-back manner, to distinctly cool down after a while and to approach the previous tracks. after all, the from nowhere to somewhere ep constitutes an extremely coherent ep, where it s obvious, that all three tracks mate together - as they are

first on decks.de !!! lust und freude musiks 6th release is produced by fausto messina from treviso, italy. well known within his countrys house scene, fausto is renowned for his legendary parties where he also started his dj career. his productions have already seen releases on wir, diynamic, big city beats, monique special, suara and international freakshow and have been licensed to sven vaeths >season eight< compilation.

bergerac is the new record label set up by uk producer and dj red rack’em (aka danny berman) to showcase the more dancefloor end of his music productions. danny is well known for his wonky disco outings as hot coins on tirk and also his deep as hell beatdown house on untracked. his style of production and djing have recently taken a slightly more banging angle due to the influence of larger scale festival gigs such as glastonbury, snowbombing and the big chill. so it seemed like the perfect time to start a label focussing on house and techno for the more discerning dancefloor. the label artwork will feature bespoke illustrations from german artist silke eiselt of all the houses danny has lived in chronologically. how much more fucking house can you get than that? how i program is a raw, heads down, whacked out banger, which straddles the wafer thin divide between house and techno with aplomb. with a massive loud donking bass noise, seedy late night atmosphere and danny shouting about how he programs his shit - this is some freaky deaky peak time business. next up is bonn, a warm crackly rhodes driven halcyon house moment, which evokes the slightly majestic and nostalgic vibe of people dancing alone together in a hot room at the end of the night. cheering sourced directly from bonn in 1982 mixes with naive keywork and distant female chants the first bergerac ep closes with it happens to us all, which could be an ode to prematurely greying men, the onset of senility or occasional farting in public places. its definitely a prime slice of wrong house with some seriously french hi hats and dubbed out bassline action though. yes, its more syncopated than an exploding castanet factory but thats how we like that kind of funk

until now duffstep has hidden in the seedy undergrowth of london always in disguise, clandestine and covert, ever plotting his imminent escape. this bid for freedom then, is called >getting to sirius<. sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, in ancient greek times sirius was said to mark the beginning of summer, where women became aroused and men became weak. duffsteps debut album >getting to sirius< is a blend of dub influenced, down tempo beats winding through layers of melody, synths and vocals softening the blow and giving a nice, warm and fuzzy edge to the thick slabs of sonic concrete. though you dont have to wait long before a nice big bass-line knocks you down on your arse again.

beg to differ is a dance music duo comprised of house hero nick chacona and wurst label boss roy dank. the two longtime friends started tinkering around in the studio last year, remixing the likes of detachments for thisisnotanxit as well as nicks solo outing with kathy diamond for moodmusic, and quickly finding favor with fellow new yorkers james murphy and holy ghost!. influenced by talking heads, my bloody valentine, and paulsimpson, beg to differs work is characterized by big hooks, live instrumentation, and lush production. the duos wurst debut features two massive - and decidedly different - reworks. parisian afrobeat masters bibi tanga & the selenites get the full beg to differ overhaul on >be africa<, complete with infectious arpeggios, killer keys, and an entirely new rhythm section, with nick himself on bass duties. the pop rock of the hours >ali in the jungle< is transformed into an epic, string-laden anthem taking in disco, rock, and even trance by the end of the mix. heavy to say the very least.

big with: raresh, joris voorn, sebo k, monika kruse, sis, dj t, agnès, brothers vibe, butch, gorge, luke slater, danny tenaglia, anthony collins, einelkind, julietta, ekkohaus ,.. after a short break of redefinition puzzle traxx gets back on stage and welcomes a new artist to the family. italians are well-known for being experts in pizza, pasta, amore and - thanx to artist like mirco violi - some impressing dance electronica. after well received releases on labels such as be chosen, all inn limited, bloop, off, hypercolour and adult only, the young rising star is giving his debut on puzzle traxx. -enchanté-, a bassheavy driving house track with weird infatuating vocals, is probably his most outstanding work to date and has already caused waves among chosen tastemakers worldwide. -pamplona- is not less unique, bringing some crazy sax and flutes on the floors. but not enough of the dancefloor madness, as the package gets crowned by a dirty as hell remix from amsterdam s house hero je dàvu aka melon, who received heavy support of the worldwide dj elite lately for his raw meat tracks like -i zebra- on platzhirsch, -music got you movin- or more housy melon reworks for artists like sascha dive or the rebirth label. + excl. bonus download against code hidden on vinyl!

final release !!! rush hour presents a new series of releases entitled -voyage direct-. this series is about all about feel good club music and is curated by tom trago. hence the name voyage direct, which was also the title of his debut double ep. dexter kicks off this series in a classy style with his junofest ep. this is easily his best work since his genre breaking electrofunk hit -i dont care- from 2000. and now its time for -junofest ep-. the title track is a steady, yet smooth club groove with enough wsing to make anyone dance to the music. a true party starter. on the aa side we find -not the only one-, an infectious vocoder vocal track that makes you smile. this is one of those rare tracks that has a poppy, commercial feel without losing its underground raw appeal. it could just be his biggest track since -i dont care-

hailing from leipzig in germany is an artist whos music has been pricking up many ears across the global underground over the last few years. its hard to put a finger on what it is about kassem mosses productions that make repeated listening a must, but the intricacy, fresh arrangements and musical depth definitely play a part in attracting labels such as the highly respected techno imprint workshop, the legendary soma records and now nonplus are honoured to present his latest 12 inch. a) kassem mosse – >we speak to those< first up on the a-side we have >we speak to those< a 4/4 track of the highest quality that keeps you guessing from start to finish. the rugged and raw kick and bassline immediately set the foundations for the incoming awkward chord stabs whilst reversed beats lazily slur in and out over the main groove giving the track the unnerving feeling that its almost changing tempo. random sound effects and a non conforming arrangement make this track about as predictable as the english summer. one listen to this and youll immediately understand why this artist is getting love from some of the scenes biggest players at the moment. aa) kassem mosse – >hi res< phased drum machine breakbeat patterns and stutered percussion redolent of the early detroit techno uprising give this track an outstanding quality of being able to conjure up the same feelings of hope and optimism for electronic music that the aforementioned era managed to. thought provoking chord progressions take your mind on an excursion to the future and leave you gagging for an extended trip. think skyways, flying cars and towering metal buildings footed with dark abysmal underworlds and youll get the drift. they don t come much deeper than this one

the first teaser from the long awaited second album of phil mison (aka cantoma) comes in a true idjut boy haze. reminiscent of early u star at its best, their remix of >north shore< is one of the most locked-in grooves we have heard for some time. the vocal version sucks you into an almost trance like fashion and is purely made for the late night hours on a sweaty dancefloor. hearing this on a big system is truly a spiritual experience. the instrumental ties down an amazing second 12 inch for leng and gives us further excitement on the release of the second cantoma album. simply terrific.
