a1 – >10% is gone<: full bodied track, heavy melodic bass line really drives the whole thing! intro has a slight purple haze feel to it, the squealing atmospherics and percussion create a chilled ambience while at the same time the bass/kick combination keeps your head nodding! b1 – >free luv<: a very 80s sounding track, kraftwerk-esque rolling bass line. synth and strings add to this very pumping kick heavy piece! b2 – >in upper case< : highly percussive song, super deep bass and echoed and poppin synth sounds. this track really bounces: the brass section is a welcome addition along with a number of cool vocal samples. a real strong track

now a full time member of australian super group empire of the sun and 1/3 of the genius of the swiss we honestly dont know how sid found the time to make this heated late night gem. all we do know is arthur russell was integral in his life when he turned it out. echoed moans and whispers, chunky bass line, percussion, arrangement and everything else involved in this 8 minute and 22 second burner are all by the shirtless gentleman of the night you now know as sidwho? session victim is matthias reiling and hauke freer, their house and techno adventures on delusions of grandeur and retreat records have been rinsed out many a time at our future classic parties and all around the world so we knew it was time to get a remix. some guys and gals might think this is too deep or minimal, you just need a bigger sound system!

if god created men and if the ancestors of men are monkeys, then god was a monkey! this is asrs 3th release on simplex records. the original mix is one for the stronger bodies and minds, full of energy & power, balancing between dark crazy techno and solid minimal. the syncopated percussion is pivoting on the berghain based groovy sound. the melody is sparse and therefore a natural step in asrs evolution as a recording artist. the structure of this track embraces well placed developments and sonic changes. the sound of all tracks is coherent and vigorous hypnotic. asr hired minus artist jpls for a remix on the a-side. result is a typical jpls sound. abstract & subtracted. asrs friends, rising smallroom artist mike wall gives a dark dreamy mysterious point of view and japans tech & minimal talent shin matsura hits you straight in the face just like the original mix does. these two producers are the personnel on the b-side.

mzo bullets track >casablanca< has become a sought after underground classic over the last 18 months, so when it landed here as part of our township funk compilation album we thought we would do it justice and give it a full vinyl release. as our friends hot city were jumping around to it when they heard it, we decided to let them loose on the remix. already picking up plays from benji b over at radio 1 plus dj support from the likes of diplo, kissy sellout, doorly and andy george.

12inch full of music with a definite sense of place. eerie synthesiser pulses, funk-infused drums and languid guitar-scapes have been part of the musical topology of düsseldorf since the early seventies: and this particular release pays full tribute to that legacy, with jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag) comprising an eerie piece of swampy lazer-forest rock. this sound is also a modern day staple of düsseldorfs nightlife at the salon des amateurs, a small bar attached to the kunsthalle art gallery that is an oasis of hypnotic disco nightmares. the salon is where der räuber und der prinz made their first live appearance in 2008 (when the original composition for moogwalzer was debuted), and both members of the band frequently play there: ralf beck with his bodyrocking club act unit 4 and sebastian as half of art-rock duo noblesse oblige. meanwhile two of the guests on this release - detlef weinrich also known as toulouse lowtrax, contributing words about a ghostly maiden on moogwalzer, and thomas klein contributing drums to jagd auf den hirsch - are both original members of the quintessential düsseldorf act kreidler. salon dj resident vladimir ivkovic also had a hand in the creative clarion call for the jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag). to complete the circle, düsseldorfs new resident and desolat mainstay guti wrote his remix in the middle of the night in buenos aires, as a kind of letter to his new home-to-be. there we have it: a true tribute to a city we love, with tracks for the dancefloor as well as moments of melancholic contemplation.

the 12th release on uzuri sees contributions from turin, chicago , amsterdam & dublin. the opener sees morphine & kinda souls ksoul teaming up with new production partner muteoscillattor. >take 1< kicks things off in fine fashion, proper rough, raw and intense jacking house that is completed by the heavy heavy bassline. brilliant!
chicago skyway returns to uzuri with >resolution m<. nodding to the likes of larry heard, armando and virgo, the chitown resident puts his analog machines to work & delivers an elegant & funky number.
the bside kicks off with juju & jordashs >killing raul with acid<, an epic, tension laden full on acidic outing from the amsterdam duo, fresh from their ace tattoos island ep on philpot.

short about the label:. a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we are gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it… id love to tell you a lot of things about frank agrario but only a few things are known… his real name is francesco brini he lives in bologna he used to play percussion with swayzak the cheesy italian he is he runs a label called mozzarella recordings(where we also snagged >upgrade<from) last but least, hes handed in two tracks for us. both slightly re-strung in the full pupp k16 lab in oslo, both lethal partystarters now go buy it...

the machine aka radio slave with an fantastic fresh sounding triple vinyl album, full of tech house , minimal & eperimental techno!! another slamming masterpiece

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.

italian artist precussionist, synth aficionado and programmer matteo scaioli provided a great 3 tracker for frequenza records! three beautiful songs full of real analog sounds, magnetic atmospheres and proper grooves. this beautiful piece of art is engineered by alex d elia & nihil young and features an incredible andreas henneberg remix dont miss this one! supported by dubfire, stephan bodzin, marc depulse, paco osuna, richie hawtin, 2000 and one, roger sanchez, tom hades, elio riso, kaiser souzai, andrew grant, lissat & voltaxx, psycatron, harada, emerson, oscar and many others!

its been a while for mr lovebirds and also the label teardrop to serve some fresh slices of homemade house jam. well, we think it better not to put out every bonus beat we program and rather wait until we have something that really deserves to be thrown in todays pool of musical randomness. do we sound bitter again? sorry, for that … must be the age. so … love & happiness. yeah, i want that and probably everybody does … well here ya go: its a slick slow house bomb with proper oldskool 909 drums and some sliding portamento chords that wont never leave your head!! at least until the breakdown when this track takes you even further back in time to that beautiful intro that has rarely been used more beautifully. its been tested for months now by vincenzo, phonique and mr bird himself and devestated every floor so far. let me put it this way - this is biiiig!!!! flipside is the rain - classic 90ies deephouse with a touch of kerri which we all love right? this has the typical lovebirds warmth that we all need in these modern techno times. and in this autumn too. none other than mr steve bug took care of the remix and delivered a superb very 90ies new yorican style version. keeping the warmth he added some percussion to it and turned this into a nice builder. enough talk … we are very excited about this release and looking forward to your full love on this one. play it loud and everywhere!! and maybe even chart it if youre a good lad!!

first on decks.de!!! hija de colombia is putting out its second release in the middle of november. after great dj, radio and press reactions on its first release - >loco suenos ep<, there was no need to change much. el nino andres is again the artist, but the music he provides for this releases is a step further in deepness of tech house. anton kordic, who records under the name el nino andres, provides the somophore release, a two track fusion of south american, detroit and berlin influences. title track is a intensive orchestral affair, going for full 14 minutes of drums, big piano hooks and sax layers. b side >illmatico< is a percussion monster, that builds under a catchy organ melody. the cycle repeats every 2 minutes, and tracks subtly builds layers and layers of rhythm.

first on decks.de !! a two tracker of smashing minimal poetry.
a: daegon – subcon2 : shady minimal sounds turn into vivid dance floor intensity. a gently boosting track containing shivering bass lines and nifty rhythmic compositions.
b: daegon – subcon2 (octave remix) : french fellow octave turns the original to a full throttle dj tool, using cushioned basslines that create a massive dancefloor alternative.

jatoma are all about the unknown and though they are new amongst us they remain cloaked in paradoxes and already questioned by many. some think that one of the members is a famed producer amongst 2 genius teenagers.
others project they are a side act for a band held in the highest regard. some will speculate they are just trying to get more attention by remaining unknown. the facts remain blurry and ambiguous but there remains an clear authenticity surrounding these factors - jatoma are clearly one of 2010s most inventive new acts our ears have had the pleasure to hear and its with our excitement we welcome them to kompakt. so enter their self-titled debut full length - >jatoma<.

berlin-based markus schatz is no stranger to cargo edition. in 2009 he released his first ep >drippin< on this leipzig-based label. this track has since found its way into the sets of numerous well-known djs. markus schatz recently passed his certification exam qualifying him as a professional sound technician, an excellent reason to celebrate with a new release. his latest album for the leipzig-based cargo edition label contains 5 tracks, all of which perfectly reflect the unique charm of markus schatz. the tracks are deep, yet excellent for deejaying and go far beyond the ordinary dj tools. schatz collaborated with markus homm on two of the ep tracks - >i need< and the digitally available >feels like home<. the two artists met as labelmates on the berlin-based label highgrade, on which both have been releasing albums for quite some time.
luciano (cadenza): cargo edition is a great label, probably one of the most quality dance music.. full support!

following on from last years impossibly good the love quadrant ep by space dimension controller, kinnego records return with two tracks from label owner boxcutter, his first new material since the arecibo message album on planet mu. >moon pupils< is a gentle, trippy bit of 2-step, full of tweaked analogue melodies and tape echoed flute. on the flip, boxcutter & kab driver take inspiration from vintage library music and dubbed out disco. >2time< is all handclaps and insistent synth chords, with two woozy string-led breakdowns. kab driver previously worked on kgo001 as part of kinnego flux.
available on 12 inch vinyl, mastered at the exchange. the first 300 vinyl copies are shipped in silk-screened sleeves.

with support by john selway, stephan bodzin, perc, technasia, xhin, tony rohr, dean facer and many more. the catalogue number 013 on the berlin label phunkit records is at the same time the starting shot for the first vinyl release. and exactly this one shows down-to-earth techno from the capital, elaborated and cunning, by the artist duo takt tick. the actual overhead conveyors and host djs from the tresor club present trend-setting productions. the name >u1< is, brought to the point, a little journey through the time of berlins underground. the a1 side sends the listener on a trip which is coined by dynamical passages of highs and crispy bass parts. uncompromisingly does the rhythm chase around the focused, flogging consonance and the slowly modulated intervals with short breaks. on the b side: >whisper<, a subtle peak-time monster which does not know any kind of holdup, full of energy and only waiting for the chance to make the strobes lose their wind. >black worms is a b2-bomber for sure. with its dusky sounds, it is solidly rolling without downward movement. shady, resonant, consequent and remorseless.
