born from a common will to showcase the maturity and versatility of his producer skills, im:ltd has taken the ambitious challenge to give to the extremely talented arp xp the opportunity to release his first ever solo album effort closer. gathering influences from over ten years spent in the electronic music scene, what were presenting is an accomplished twelve-track album with the finesse youd come to expect from the sardinian sun and bass resident and some more intriguing touches you might not. from the eerie dystopia of title track closer featuring the mournful vocals of estel luz, its clear that none of this release is concerned with brightening wintery nights. each track has a vein of inky blackness running through it, and whether its the clicking, mechanical metronome of standout single something wrong, the serpentine bass of sickness of time or the somewhat middle-eastern-infused bassy stomp of maybe tomorrow with that juddering electro clap, the first half of closer is deeper and darker than the baltic. even with tracks as forcefully dank and derelict as papercuts there are washes of tunes like uneasy, stunnas re-work of closer and the particularly exquisite. upon waves to counterpoint the gloom, showing some break in the clouds. you cant stamp the sunshine out of a mediterranean heart. trademark rolling reeses and distant euphoric pads belie,closers cynical sound gives away arp xps true intention,to simply make the best bass music album he can.

the dark age of lost-cool, a time of dimensional imbalance when music was devoured by a black-hole of wackness. now, marked by a solar-flare in the funky constellations, soul clap delivers a galactic renaissance to fill our ears with interplanetary consciousness and emancipate our booties from the androids of dancefloor repetition.

we are all children of the earth and immigrants - ausl€nder - immigrati in our world. this was one of the first things coming in siopis mind at the beginning of his new project >ausl€nder< a mixed compilation for klik records. officially an immigrant himself although he is one more of those using the globe as a unity under the guidance of music, he is the person behind the silversurfer alliance that conquered the dancefloors with his raw and dark tune.

incl. remixe & tracks von henrick schwarz, loco dice, isolee, claude von stroke...made for the night ist nicht nur eine weitere dj mix compilation, sondern gibt einen kompletten einblick ins nacht & dj leben von jesse rose! incl. 19 tracks und remixe aus dem letzten jahrzehnt und diversen unveršffentlichen stŸcken!

heidis-run jackathon parties have been hitting cities internationally since late 2009, now with residencies in london, berlin, paris, miami, manchester and amsterdam Ð jackd house is truly taking a fair slice of the scene. the compilation isnt an add on, a supplement to the nights: its deep grounded sound and thoughtfully crafted line-up backs up the global club-motion that is emerging within heidis control.mix favourites step up as the deep and bassy foundings of deetrons the juggler, funk-told incoming bitch by soul clap and move-strong whiff it yawl from jamie jones. although the first mix this year to really engage in houses history, its freedom status Ð it escapes cliche, avoiding big cheez for serious deep, electronics: heidi keeps the listing real. the especially-recorded vocal drops of house-legend derrick carter also make the record what it is, his infamous chicago-born vox gives residence to what heidis trying to do: resurrect the old school.dancefloor destruction is on pause, the club is still a playground, still moving hard theres just more room to play now, as steve bugs last track titles: jacks back.

the latin influence regeins supreme in south beach,miami,so who better to soundtrack the 2011 parties than spanish superstars dj chus & david penn.mixing classic vibes with contemporary flavours,this is a hedonistic indulgence of pure, beatdriven house.

cd1 = mixed, cd2 = unmixed.feat. hot chip, greg wilson, holy ghost, soul clap..
