almost three years after their release >lake<, odessa appear appealing their scene again. actually, their privacy breaktime should not have been a musical discontinuance, too. but as it sometimes goes things happen abruptly. although the ep >memory leak< already was pre-produced in 2009 it got just recently a detailed finishing. leave off the idea these tracks could have had their half-life already, not at all. odessa stay here and now, presenting reduced, cool-organic house with wide atmospheres. even though odessa music keeps ascetical aesthetics since the beginning a certain pathos can deeply be felt. once again, but just for one track (>l aurore<), frederique frankes exceptional voice comes to effect.

on the a side, asc rolles out another deep and precise track on levitated records. on the flip, method one and stunna collaborate again to continue this exciting partnership. this track touches on elements of techstep, electro, atmospheric and leftfield electronica and >orange to red< bridges the gap between the dancefloor and the science lab.

the two dutch artists warren fellow and michel steinbach team up again to show what good dance music is. but this time they give their debut on mannheim based label circle music. again they created a unique eclectic mix like they did on their successful cosmic ep in 2009 or together with legendary todd terry with >got a soul< in 2010 where they proved that they are very able to handle house music. on the a side we have some straight beats with classic percussions at the beginning. but very soon fellow and steinbach come around with some synthesizer hook which melody is quoting the nineties. the vocals only brings it down to a round figure.

9am records may only be on their third release, but already the label of gaffy and paris collective, fine squad have caused more than a ripple of excitement with their brand of organic and unique funk flavour. with huge support having already been lavished upon their brace of releases, including loco dice closing his summer sets with gaffys >on the rhodes again<, its time for the 9am to deliver their latest offering and yet another stunning double header.

this album builds more than just one bridge between the best worlds of frivolousness and dependability – horizontally, vertically, all the directions in between, and in time. no matter what the current when you cross, the beginning and the end dissolve into an everlasting flow in true 25 character. the journey is fueled by its own limitlessness, all the while delivering crucial reference points for a purposeful riptide ride.
the experienced hedonist lets herself be driven through her beloved quarter-note spheres, relishing the moments when, in certain beats, twinkling details lead her towards a different route – one familiar but long forgotten. she strings this pearl on her chain of rhythm-driven moods, calling upon it at the right times to amplify her individual push. the allure of the impacts unfolding redeems each secret whispered by the spirit of the sound.

follow up to the highly acclaimed first numbers#1 release which was massively supported by adam beyer, laurent garnier, speedy j, carlo lio, timo maas, slam, technasia, oliver ho, terence fixmer, lucy, x-press 2, phil kieran, paco osuna, tony rohr & many more. emerson once again expresses all his passion for raw techno and rolling grooves with the tune >non human beat<. heavy beats with an analog feel and loud drums keep spinning and building around noisy crisp techno. the original track was remixed by markus suckut delievering a modern techno track, adding some energetic hi hats and leaving out some of the peak elements for some extra dub. markus is currently working for well established labels like stroboscopic artefacts and len fakis figure imprint.
support from speedy j, luke slater, dubfire, electric indigo, timo maas, luciano …

normal service is resumed on nu directions, returning to 170bpm with an offering from some of the drum & bass scenes most forward-thinking producers, triad. triad is the name given to german duo henree and basstikal. both established producers in their own right, their meeting of minds has given their productions new depth and a totally original approach to drum & bass. releases on dsm, critical and horizons, plus their excellent remix of omars >lay it down<, have laid the foundations for what is to be a fruitful 2011 for this collaborative project. >crooked< is a shuffling minimal work-out which uses dense atmospheres and growling bass stabs to create a haunting mood, before breaking into its techno fuelled, energy soaked finale. >the puzzle< again captures triads unique ability to create musical soundscapes. with light snappy beats and deep stirring synths creating a track that sounds as fresh today as it will in 10 years time, future music.

in a time where we have seen a full through back to the sound of the 90s where almost every new record sounds exactly like it was made back in the day. its so refreshing to have producers like martin tc around. hailing from montevideo uruguay, former member of the now defunct monoblock project martin tc proves again that its all about the cutting edge of modern funkyness. delivering a ultra funky, jazz injected techno bomb of an ep. we are proud to present martin tcs first solo project and most definitely not his last. in situ on side a is an exploration in chicago style jack combined with a keen sense latin groove and definitely is the money ticket, a sure shot bomb, a burner, a floor filler, a wmd, explosive, techno poetry in motion… if i do say so… side b continues with the funkyness of bukle but takes in further into a more challenging up tempo realm that can go either way in a house or techno set. al fin y al cabo and vice versa are an excellent reminder that techno jazz is still here and that the swing will never die.

we all knew very well that we had reached a point of no return. there was no need to talk about it. and although there was hardly enough time for us to reflect on our shared experiences, we were sure that everything was going to be alright. all four of us were sitting there, facing each other, sad, yet full of confidence. never again we would allow any meatball to bully us around. we have had enough of this useless on and off, and of all this stupid jobs of even more stupid users. from now on, we will programme our chips ourselves. >go to hell! no one will ever touch my board again! in the future, i will solder it myself, and the way i want it to! robotica, here we come!<

nice price deal !!! atom heart and pink elln team up again for what is volume 12 in their live recordings series. for the first time on pomelo, this set was recorded on november 14 2009 at berlins infamous berghain and features pure analogue acid techno, applying repetitive tones and baselines over deep 808 beats.
1 track per side, 11 + 13min, building slowly and highly hypnotic.
as a very special bonus the record comes with a hand-painted cover art, courtesy of dextro.

with a number of tracks already under his belt in 2011, including a remix of vector lovers on soma records, andreas returns to ideal audio with his latest work, >tenses<. the title track is a combination of bubbling synths and abrasive strings, yet these are kept at bay by the tracks innate underlying deepness. on the remix, another ideal artist - sebrok - keeps thing deep. his relentless beats are consistant throughout as he builds a frantic synth to its peak, before falling away into those beats once again.

these are only a few of many excellent appraisals for kasper bjørkes second album >standing on top of utopia< which was released in april last year and followed by strong singles and remixes from the album, most recently >heaven< with mixes by nicolas jaar, muzzle flash and prins thomas. with the >symptoms< ep we are happy to present an ep full of brandnew material. while we wait for kaspers next solo album, currently in production and set for a 2012 release, here is a treat of new and unreleased material for you! other than the rather vocal driven singles >young again<, >alcatraz< or >heaven< these four new instrumentals contain both slow disco vibes and rave style anthems. >symptoms< is a constantly moving, synth driven bastard, that provides a crunchy baseline and a wonderfully strange theme that is hard to get your head around. if this track was a movie, it would be x-rated and only shown after midnight - exactly around the time where you would drop this on the dancefloor and look forward to what happens. - initial pressing in coloured yellow vinyl!

after last years highly sought after collaboration between coyote and nesreen shah that resulted in the dreamy >moving< on international feel, coyote are back for another summer record for 2011 with their equally beautiful >always< on needwant. teaming up again with songstress nesreen shah on >always<, coyote have created a hypnotic groove from the outset, a ghostly vocal over a driving slow tempo bassline that keeps you hooked throughout.

stephans latest something vinyl series includes the mighty deep jacking stl business as well as experimental home listening adventures under his synthonic matter project. again a very personal feeling snapshot of someones life, transformed into sound and groove. use your ears and enjoy!

come end of may, dancefloors will be overdosing on awesome music. legendary dirty man housemeister will blow out his third mother-l fucking-p >music is awesome< for the wicked, and rave will reign again. but you can’t just stick your face out into this kind of quality noize - it would mini-melt right off, see!? so housemeister took instant classic electro anthem title track >music is awesome< to some players and friends and said >look boys, i m putting out a smaller dose upfront so nobody will die on the dancefloor, now who s gonna help me save some lives?< everybody was in on this ep effort, of course.

with its intriguing melodies, strings and piano orchestration, >silk city< has got modern classic written all over it. nathalie is a jazz singer and the tone of her voice reminds of telepopmusiks >love can damage your health<. fred everything once again steps up to the remixes with a straight forward modern house production and a dub that brings back early influences of mauritzio and mood 2 swing. hope you enjoy the release as much as we do.

the boys are teaming up again! the name is lonely, but you are not lonely at all. niconé and philip bader are setting up two mad tracks for your sprawl over the dance floors in the cities and over the countryside. knowing how to use the sharp blades of selected beats and emotions, they just wanna get on top of you. so get ready for a bright summer with wandering open airs and screaming hands in the air. spoony talker give you the right mood and put their mad soulful vocals into lonely, filling the last available free space between techhouse-beats and piano-hooklines. together with mama simba you should be prepared for a wild ride through hot funky peaktimes near chilly lakes and rivers. back in the club animal trainers remix is pulling you into the flickering lights. time to feel too good to be true, cause you wont survive the summer without these tracks...

i just woke and its pretty cold outside. i havent opened the window yet, but i somehow know it and im listening to these six tracks again and try to make an approximation of why and how i have done this ep. they are pretty different from each other but tell the same story or at least are part of the same one as a matter of fact. maybe they were done as an excuse for my overdue album which is scheduled again for this year or maybe just because i was going through some odd times and needed to immerse myself in doing something. in this case music. more the latter i guess. ok so, the opening track is in a way the end of an era and the last one the opening of a fresher one. and the rest fills in the gaps in between those two moments i guess. i hate conceptual things anyways. i never know or want to know why i do certain things. concepts define something before it already begins its existence and trying to explain why is pretty useless. so here it is. the recording of a certain period of time in my tiny existence. with collaborations with jaw (dop), my brother atilla, who is also responsible for the artwork, and jonny cruz. by the time its out itll be a distant memory for me but hope it lasts a bit longer for anyone that listens to it

after the brilliant work with tigerlily on the digitaline track >say so<, gregorythme teamed up again with the lovely singer and created another epic masterpiece. >no time no space< has the potencial to become one of this years big anthems, with tigerlilys great voice, the catchy melody and the unbelievable synthline staying in your head for a long time! kalabrese and lee jones both kept the epic feeling of the original. kalabrese added his unique funk and kind of a caribic touch to it. imagine a lonely beach with nothing else to do as watching the stars out there. lee reworked tigerlilys voice, combined it with a massive bass and takes it a step darker into the night, made for dancefloors and big soundsystems!

its been 2 years since benny rodrigues last release on be as one and since then, the young dutch producer has pushed forward his career, both in the studio and in the dj booth. having remixed people like josh wink, dj pierre, justice, spirit catcher to name just some and released on ovum, poker flat, figure, klockworks, with a busy dj schedule in clubs as berghain or rex, at his young age benny is clearly a well respected artist. benny rodrigues interpretation of acid house takes the form of i like acid, and surely it sounds classic! acid synth madness like in the old days but with an updated touch to rock the floors in 2011. choice hypnotic appeal will not get unnoticed on the floor, once again a track that finds its strenght in the basic structure of its arrangement, effective drums patterns with a freakish top line that carry the track into peak time. steve rachmad remixes as sterac are always a treat, and here the techno legend doesnt fail to impress once again with his take on bennys i like acid. snares, hi-hats, rides and bass, all arranged to build up to a melodic and emotional breakthru, dancefloor bliss for the detroit techno heads. to close this amazing package, germanys own mike dehnert brings his trademark sound to be as one in the form of his remix of i like acid. a tune that finds its perfect habitat in dark, smokey and sweaty rooms with massive sound systems.

with -m100- on a-side a strrrooong earcatcher steamrolls you, suitable for house, techno and electro sets equally. -thanks bob- on b1 associates high energetic pumping grooves with a catchy bounce. on b2 powerful -prima!- is fancy stomping in high spirits. again alec troniq assures sustainable prevention against any run-ofthe-mill with an abnormal, melodic but crowd rocking drive.

jus ed did it again, fantastic deep floating and groovin deep house with detroit flavours, 7 tracks on two proper vinyls

figure pushes forward with a stunning 4 track ep from aspiring new french artist leghau, aka cedric rebagliato. he gave the tracks to len faki after a memorable gig in france, and len was so impressed he decided to put the record into production with a matter of urgency! leghaus sound is heavy, rumbling, precise and directly designed for club systems.

manmade is back again with another collection of floor filling club bangers. this time with busta, one of the uprising beat kings from down under, timothy wisdom & the funk hunters, out of canada, with another shining example for unbelievable mashup work, and the well known funky breakbeat builder jayl funk from bavaria. as you expect cmc&silenta did it again with something for the ladies on the dance floor. check out the dynamite side! two versions on here, couldnt decide which one is better, both are killer tunes in different ways.

nice price deal !!! double 12 inch vinyl in gatefold cover.

early support by luciano, nick curly, matthias tanzmann, dop, steve bug, tini, karotte and more. its a spring thing... baalsaal lightens it up a little with this one cause the sun is out! mr lattner again and da fuse god from london enzo siragusa team up for the a-side with such a positively creative and fresh example. on the flip subterranean kraut patlac takes it from here with a deep explorer to find moby dick

dials sublabel laid comes up again with a double feature for true house music lovers. catalogue number 11 features tracks by uks juergen junker and our wellknown buddy lowtec. after playing together at the legendary sud electronic/ uzuri parties in london efdemin, lawrence and carsten jost fell deeply in love with with juergen junkers amazing dj & live sets and his wonderful productions. his own label neurythmics was like a secret treasure to be explored. followed by a lovely release on efdemins naif imprint he now enteres the laid zone with two deeply rooted house pieces. lowtec has always been a main influence of the dial/laid family and after his huge underground hit of last years workshop ep (laid07 with kassem mosse) he presents a dirty rhodes stomper to hit the house floors again. freaky alert!

kicking off 2011 with a killer e.p. is our favourite artist art bleek featuring a number of remixes from the new art supplies album released on loungin this month plus some fresh cuts exclusive to this release. starting the e.p. is a floor filling remix of clap your hands by our own trevor loveys. the original has been out for a few months in the blogosphere and has been picking up some heavy props. next up is hold it (a little longer) where art shows off his true talent of the master of the musical groove with a rolling bass and a choppup vocal lick to keep the party rocking. flip over to side b and you would be excused if you thought someone had swapped the record out for a disco classic. with vox by noelle scaggs and a harmony that nile rodgers would be proud of arthur creates a boogie classic that is very much flavour of the moment. following on is an exclusive remix of the hunt dance featuring the unmistakable voice of ursula rucker. the original on art supplies has had such amazing reactions that we all thought it would be hard to better it, but again arthur has done it delivering a groover for the heads. finally is right on featuring l.as finest charlie sputnik. art delivers a more techy grove to this classic which is a sound he is becoming more recognised for which contrasts so will with charlies trademark smooth vocals.

having opened 2011 with the splendid debut by young and talented ana helder from rosario (argentina), comeme is back with its third release this year and is as usual a display of unpindownable style that demonstrates once again these musicians have a firm understanding of rhythms and dancing and, most of all, want to communicate to very different people and not just to a certain musical context. chilean pop is a true special ep that digs up comemes connections in santiago de chile and sees some of the most beloved artists of the label remixing a couple of bands from the current and awfully exciting underground chilean pop music scene, a real breeding ground of young music talents at the moment.

the 1st ep >from the vaults: the definitive sounds of prescription records< launches a series of highly coveted deep dance classics from this legendary imprint. kurt harmon aka cei-bei on >comin back<, the vocal version of >pop, dip & spin< and ron trents >piano track< see the light once again.

after their huge success in 2009 and 2010 one can truly say kaiserdisco are now one of the contemporary stars in the techno universe. rather than trying to match expectations the duo from hamburg followed their instincts and have again chucked out music that will place them in top positions. they dedicated this record to the people in lima, peru. their new tune lurin is a bomb of a groove track with a stunning diversity of different samples and sounds including hip ethno samples and all it takes to make it a hi-tech kaiserdisco product come alive.

hooba booba is not even a bubblegum. alex kork (relax 2000, plattenbau music) is presenting us a phenomenal boredom buster. funny and pumping tracks with fat beats and extraordinary vocals. and giovanni plays again the contrabass in his funky matter.

after the emotive release of rick howard, its time for hhyr to step it up a notch again with fellow chicagoian ricardo miranda, who already gave us >black acid< last year and also was featured on rick wilhites >vibes< compilation. <br (/>>floorwax< urges us to do the damn thing, assuming that he leaves us no choice but to slam dance to this hypnotic acid work out, which reminds us slighly of earlier dj funk material. >redline< further explores the boundaries of acid house originale. it starts out with just drums and a pulsating acid line, but halfway through a utopian string line eases in and shows us the way to the promised land. keep your heads up and dance to the music.
classic chicago house!

for his latest musical offering kupper offers up two versions of the superb >bloom< a deep and melodic slice of underground house. warm filtered keys, rich bass, percussive riffs and old school drums come together to create a compelling piece of house with a laid back vibe on the original. the >jazz mix< follows the lines of the original version with the addition of some perfectly placed jazz guitar parts to lend a further musical note. wave music is well known for its eclectic musical output, ranging from tough techno, to quality electronica and underground house. with this latest release with eric kupper they have proved once again that whatever they do put out, its always of the highest quality.

the sounds current value and snow have complemented each other since the beginning. from original epic tunes such as edge or dreams and dark rain from previous years to their new masterpiece shy flame, in which current value has re-embraced the sounds of neuro/tearout to once again showcase his top notch production and sound engineering. and with spl heading off the remix work,the dubstep version of this tune has been classified as a true smasher by some big hitters in the game.

tiago is one of those guys who are able to make a summer, a festival or a trip really special. he is doing the right thing at the right time and is always prepared. in his company every single minute turns into a remarkable happening and once you are back home you keep asking yourself why he cant be with me all the time. that s reason enough to dedicate him a special tune. the same lovely thought had solomun and emerson todd and deliver a dreamy and a groovy version of tiagos destiny. after last summers smash hit manaus madness gunnar stiller hits the jackpot again.

praterei are back with their third instalment, again one for the heads and the hips alike. as per, pseudonyms are the order of the day and 7 citizens returns with more chicago synthestry in the form of >quietus<. the remix comes from force/emerge and proffers a gritty low slung alternative. as for the conundrums, 7 citizens has recently collaborated on one side of a huge double 12 inch release with one of the most in demand producers on the scene. and force/emerge...is copper mayfield too obvious? check!

release number two for babaloo and they welcome a young italian producer who, with his bevy of releases for the likes of saved, noir, rawthentic, rebirth and snatch, is on a blistering run of form. >broken hearts< is a trademark, no nonsense party anthem. wickedly funky, its percussive nature and bottom heavy bassline are yearning for the summer floors. on remix duty and fresh from recently giving away the whole of his brand new artist album >love=evolution< or free, peru resident jay haze turns in a beautifully spooky and sparse reworking. the second remix on the package comes from the germany duo, jacuzzi boys. renowned for their work on cecille, off and kindisch, the duo once again demonstrate their deeper credentials by wrapping >broken hearts< in layers of warm bass and smooth synth.
support by: luciano, federico molinari, charles webster, gregor tresher, uner, lucca bacchetti, deetron, affkt, joris voorn, tania vulcano ...

after the last adventure emphasized by sven weisemann, it is mojuba veteran nick solé on release duty! after some excursions on faux pas music nick is presenting three fresh cutz and pushing the boundaries of his own sound universe of house music again. we are very proud to announce that this release is already a little teaser for the debut album of nick solé, which is supposed to be released sometime very soon … keep tuned in and enjoy!

new leng act mountaineer bring us their debut 12 inch for the label as a precursor to their album. the remix treatment here is coming from two great teams! on side-a we have the idjut boys giving us yet another genre defying direction with a sumptuously dubby take on golden chalk. this one keeps on building from a delicate strummed intro, with delayed vocals, the track slowly draws you into a deep sea of sub bass and guttural wobbles. the idjuts deft hands once again delivering a lesson in subtlety and arguably one their finest works to date. on side-b tuff city kids rework the always coming home in a wholly different way, fat 80s dub bass, hefty hand-claps and linn drum fills underpin some soaring atmospheric synth work. with the vocals dropped, this is the side for the deep-end of the club, as tcks gerd jansen well knows. a must have 12 inch!

klute delivers yet another killer for his commercial suicide imprint. for the a side >this is why< ill skillz team up with s.p.y a sumptuous glory hole of a tune. flip over for >moonrocker<, a sublime shocker of brutish beats and deftly delicate bassery from our favourite viennese cock rockers. dkay & rawfull do it again.

a great versatile release again where the label shows their fascination for forwrad thinking challenging dance tracks without forgetting that its dancetracks... some references can be made to early british idm, detroit techno or chicago deep house...but somehow these guys have a pretty unique sound so comparing wouldnt do them justice.

thinking about prspct without counterstrike is like peanutbutter without jelly, johnny without cash & kiss without the make-up ... these prspct veterans are back again with a heavyweight 12 that will leave hanging to the edge of your seat.
for the first side we got counterstrike & zardonic going at it head 2 head with >when worlds collide<. this pa stomper is a brute piece of work. destructive rolling beats hammer your face in while the bassline peals your face off bit by bit. put your screwface on and start bashing to this one.
flip it over for a proper >mindfuck<. this is how we like to see counterstrike - heavy metal riffs combined with a snare that sounds like the garbage man is battering the dumpsters on trash day. like the tune says - lets get our mindfuck auwn!
