following the great international success of glitterbugs album >supershelter<, everyone has been curious to hear what this unique and unmatched producer will bring us next. and truth is, there is a lot! glitterbug has been working on piles of new enchanting materials, tracks, projects and remixes.
as a first release in a series that will lead to his next (double cd) album, is the >dim flares ep<: a dream-like, intense and deep moody ep that carries that very special glitterbug sound to a whole new level, touching on deep emotional techno with a utopian 4/4 perspective.
this beautiful ep opens with >so much more>, an epic track that releases its melancholic-euphoric mood slowly over the course of 9 minutes, turning itself into a beautiful, hopeful, hand-raising screamer that floods the dance floor with overwhelming warmth and heartfelt love. side a ends with >deadpan<, an intense dark ambient miniature that lets us peak at glitterbugs world of score-like ambient compositions.
the b-side begins with >daubed beams<, a deephouse track all glitterbug. >daubed beams< feels like what mid 90s detroit techno released on warp would have sounded like: unbelievably deep, pensive, warm, divine and pumping.
c.sides latest emotive ep culminates with >be content<, a warm track with a deep drive of warped pads, a dark bass-line, airy percussion and unforgettable arpeggios. this exhilarating dance track is layered with bottomless emotions, the kind you want to close your eyes to, hug the person dancing next to you and wish it would never ever end.
the >dim flares ep< is the first in a series of 3 magnificently moving eps (by glitterbug, christian löffler, and a collaboration between glitterbug & ostgut ton s murat tepeli) to be released on the c.sides label in 2009-2010, all leading up to glitterbugs extraordinary next double album which is currently in the making and will be released in spring 2010.

vinyl only !! come and spend a night at the brand new loop hotel...! its a one-ofa-kind international spot where quality, infectious house and techhouse music is piped into every room. so exclusive that its visitors wish to remain anonymous, we are left only to imagine who might be behind the project - yet its clear the calibre of the producer involved is very high indeed! based on the concept of a two track partnership, a solid state jacking groove is introduced, building up a musical statement with a combination of rich analogue equipment to create the vibe. the partner track then, removes all the previously explored musical elements, keeping the beats intact, and builds a new track again from the foundations up. room 101 is a tooly, playful house jam, whose strong opening beats provide the basis for a stylish array of synth themes, classic house organs and tweaked out acidic stabs to unfold. keeping the beats then, of course, room 102 takes things down a darker route, with a more reduced family of elements describing a heady, even more acidic late night moment. each track complements its brother remarkably well, and becomes engaging to hear how the emotions, flow and vibe are changed, while maintaining the same functional percussive elements in both tracks. watch out for this new series of releases, that explores the endless possibilities of hidden grooves locked inside the mind of their producer... ready to be expressed on vinyl! welcome to loop hotel.

recording as lord cut-glass, alun woodward, formerly of the delgados, releases his first album since the delgados? ?universal audio? in 2004. extraordinarily ambitious, ?lord cut glass? was written, arranged and in large part performed by woodward, recalling the orchestral grandeur of his former band whilst forging a style of acerbic, sardonic songwriting all of his own. lord cut glass features galloping percussion, waltzes, marches and promenades of male and female harmony: delicate and serene creations punctuated by casual profanity and shot through with brazenly hilarious words-to-the-wise.

the team composed by alex dandi & francesco brini presents two different tracks in sound and dancefloor use...we wish to point out i like (disco) samba since if you use it right, you might be able to give fire to the whole dancefloor.

part 1 of the new double-release from tiefschwarz aims at the heart of house music: soul. “on&on” is a first-class arranged club track. starting off with a wonderful mellow theme, that is adumbrated by the bass line in an one-and-a-half minute long exposition. the track ups the tempo with an additional hi-hat resolving into a shuffle beat. in double time, we move on towards the first break. here an edgy, minor key-chord sequence is introduced, making it obvious for everyone, that this track is gonna take off. eventually the keys function as a counterpoint to the classic bass line. a four-to-the-floor “on&on” vocal sample takes over after the break, adding another percussive aspect. as the track goes on a mulitiplicity of side elements sets in - no room for tediousness! in the end the “on&on” vocals resolve into “it’s so simple… . who knows, but this could be a broad hint to all the tech-house academics out there. no matter what, this grande finale raises a smile from every last sweaty soul on the dancefloor. with “best inn” on the b-side tiefschwarz create a dance classic, dressed in 2009 fashion. reminiscent of long gone nu-groove times, a traditional house beat - including a tiny off-beat tinker bell - blasts out of the speakers. a slured synth-organ provides the track with that certain edgyness. here, the brothers keep it laid-back yet exciting at the same time. this piece goes on and on and on - and you yourself run alongside, not wanting to pause. but watch out! at the latest in the second break, tiefschwarz put nostalgia to the test via some shockingly muffled metal drums. one of these moments, where you wish yourself back into the middle of an eight-hour deep-house set in 1992. the train departs. one thrillingly beautiful landscape after another runs by, until the warm sun strokes of the south suddenly rouse you out of slumber. arrived

every release just gets stronger on this truly brilliant hed kandi series, and in such belt tightening times, its no wonder the series is so popular. a fantastic moto blanco mix of boogie tonight and full intention are the lead tracks, this ep will be on everyones christmas wish list- a merry christmas guaranteed by all at hed kandi as they sign off the year in style

breaking the rules and beeing anything but mr. nice guy - with this massive new ep on karateklub blood & tears shows his straight, trippy, disturbed and mindthrilling way of getting a dancefloor boiled, slaughtered and painted blood-red. blood on the dancefloor is a hypnotising anthem, a bow to the sound of frankfurt of the mid ninetees, pounding more than nine minutes, combining the catchy grooves of todays- and the spirit of oldschool techno with rising pads and pushing sequences. this was made to be played on big floors on very high volume, so turn it up and see what happens when the drums return after a breathtaking break...because blood will follow blood - flip the disk and drop the needle. another advanced dj tool awakens the b-side - your truth was just another lie, something like the beautiful silence before the storm which is the heavy and absolutely non-compromising i wish you were dead. eight minutes of hate and destruction, of nothing but pure techno and a statement that needs no fucking explainings!

not too late is norah jones highly anticipated third album. made up of 13 songs - all of which were written or co written by norah - the album was produced by lee alexander, norahs long time song writing partner/bass player. the album features distinct traces of dusty in memphis style southern soul, as well as the kind of sleepy, sultry vocals that have been ubiquitous in coffee houses all over the world since the release of her 20+ million selling 2002 debut album, come away with me.

this time contributions come from australia, the old europe, the usa…, from all over really. some of the featured artists are signed and glorious, others are virtually unknown and live in bedsits. some will release their future albums on kitsune and others already have a&rs in search of the next big thing biting their nails.

hey flavio, why are you so acid?? the just 20 years old guy is already showing lots of influence in his background! flavio diaz, young producer divided between naples and london, becomes part of the born pulsars in the techno music galaxy with amazing tracks! vitamin r and mister jetix reflect the evolution of the analytic trail groove , influenced by the minimal of detroit and the acid house of chicago before and london then, and marked by techno neapolitan school personal imprint. mister jetix is a real funky track, nominated to be a real floor killer, both in the original version that like the remix by the chairman of the house, markantonio. vitamin r is a real brand new vitamin discovered by flavio, that we wish to take at early morning to charge up and start again!

here comes the first smasher from mr. dane flash whos already well known by remixes for the whiteliners, avantgarde or sm trax. up in my soul is a superior pumping electro house track underlined by impulsive vocals as usual on l.m.e. this release comes up with a huge remix package including a the whiteliners mix for all minimal fans, a big room mix from manolo and last but not least a funky house mix from steve wish
