mark ernestus, one half of the basic channel, maurizio and rhythm & sound teams, inaugurates our series of reworkings of tracks from tony allens lagos no shaking album. marks mix is not a nowadays style remix, more an extended mix in the classical tradition headed by tom moulton, back in the days when francois kevorkian was his teaboy, and there was a cupboard in his office stuffed with studio one master tapes. marks disco dub is its dub

applegarden is a strange duo from rotterdam making a weird kind of electronic funk. we had these tracks lying around in the office for at least 2 years...and we couldn t get them out of our system.. so something must be right!. twentyfive 6 four and armaggedon are the two original cuts on this release...and they are just a lot of fun. the finnish wonderboys of putsch 79 made the official club version of >twentyfive 6 four<. they turned the loose original version in a thight and sharp club monster that works on everydance floor. probably their most uptempo dancefloor orientated remix they ever did. allready got played by several influential dj s

no more words to add on moguai s special fingerprint, so let s go on to our auspicious remixers who have their very own views of sensation white: at first famous lady monika kruse vests the hook with some fly percussions and smart sidesteps. the continuous forward mood of her interpretation is so intoxicating, you don t want it to stop. time is also an important factor on karotte s sophisticated remix, created together with the boys from einmusik (jittery heritage). lightings up the fire over nearly 10 minutes, he comes up to even melt the strongest ice

an exciting part of the current swedish house revolution has joined the burrito roster for the 8th release. david ekenbäck, who s recorded with john dahlbäck as the awesome beckster production team & who came to our attention through his wicked jackmoves label, gives us a corking tech/electro/house hybrid

(deleted )- a dark and monumental piece of music, using simple but effective sound patterns, repeating them by adding nice delays and other smart fx, step by step slowly building it up in tremendously hypnotic fashion. striking indeed! on the flip side it s dusseldorf s loco dice, resident dj at ibiza s hippest dc10, a true global player, known and loved for his releases on timo maas label four twenty, josh wink s ovum, sven väth s cocoon and richie hawtin s minus. what a list...! but back to the music. his remix of -1000 miles- is less dark, more funky, smartly playing around with some short soundtips, gliding softly towards a quiet break, before evolving to full power, step !by step. the groove is the key! our tip: this 12inch will definitely be a guiding light for this year s summer, especially on the magic island of ibiza

we were dreaming about rimini and italo boot mixes, when we met this mad professor of italectro in a sleazy berlin neukölln pizza spot. he saved our day with a pearl of a dancefloor sunset. italectro - that´s a smart thing to say and that´s what we wanted. a funky italian 12inch. then tetsuo came and deliverd a nu wave prada dressed remix and added a heartbreak story. so at last frank martiniq was the boxer we needed to punch this track to a cologne style brutzel disco stomp that takes us back to reality

florian meindl, aged 20 seems to be a new genius from a small town, called eferding in austria. by the age of sweet 14, he started to turn the decks. very soon he became a professional and played already with ricardo villalobos and monika kruse. florian had his debut on balkon rec. he is also know from our <talente mit stil> compilation. oliver koletzki has always a meindl track in his charts and dj-sets suggesting this boy to be the newcomer 2006. florians three tracks make our ears smile, because of their amazing sounddesign and composition. >sputnik<, get supported by kiki, jona, gregor trasher, martin eyerer, benno blome (sender)

proven.....timeless dancefloor detroit tinged techno is what sino is all about. the delivery of electronic impulses that stir a given dancefloor into a swirl of explosive action is our continuous pursuit!

a journey into a deep,groovy and hypnotic mode which is about to go straight to our hips (and our hearts). definitely one of his most beautiful projects to date.

on the a side, step back is an ultra fat minimal tune with both old school housy sounds and strong techno beat. the dark male vocal repeating step back won t leave your head for hours. on the flip side, bastien grine goes deeper on a mental trip. a fat bass line surrounded by clear floating sounds. he plays with stereo effects and we loose our mind … pure madness

legendary series to be continued with 2 acts from the uk. first >cool cuts< releases have been much in demand, and peeps are still trying to get hold of them - if you are lucky! a side is a brilliant track by the b-siderz - in the vein of some more proper house sounding stuff with nice sublime guitars struggling their way thru 2 big breaks complemented with an pushing b line and sophisticated acid sounds in between. other side is our beloved ma saski from manchester with an already massive electro tinged primetime stomper. the guys from the >tribal gathering< camp play around with some b lines emphasising those little but most effectual breaks through a wicked male poetry. mind you, that tune goes on and on without getting lame - dj linus always starts his sets with that tune - big!

a mountain of one have revisited the 70s and 80s in order to plunder not the back catalogue of disco or punk but the sounds of talk talk fleetwood mac mike oldfield & the the

avida perfectly fit in with a kind of underground music that was getting all the rage in italy in those days: nonsense music (musica demenziale). the structures were intentionally primitive, often made on cheap electronics. maurizio damis vocals , inspired on early 60s italian singers (to carry on and close the typical 20 years cycle of revivals), such as edoardo vianello, had an appealing mix of trash and humour. avida was essen tially a live band. their performances were a mix of theatre and music, where visuals played a major role. anyway, today some of that music still sounds interesting and not only due to its lyric. in our opinion about the best music alexander robotnik ever made

the original allez allez track dates from 1982 (!). the belgian funky new wave band was very successful during those early eighties days, but this was without a doubt their biggest tune. our norwegian homies lindstroem & prins thomas took care of the remix on the flipside. northern quality as usual!

spilo now presents the first taste of the upcoming cd-compilation, cave vs ortin cam live!! our double liveact recorded in ljubljana slovenia december 24th 2005 !

once again saasfee presents an arist that grows his tracks far away in murmansk. stitched together from various vinylgroove-sounds, the first track on slowstep s >shantage ep< builds his very own atmosphere of the grooveworld over time, with support of dark minimal beats. the b-side comes even deeper with two floating, intense darkgroovetracks with bleepy undertones, growing mercyless over time. this must be the most bass-oriented release to date on saasfee! our top tip!

after the killer original mix of this future classic we bring you two of our favourite producers to the table to tackle the vocals from kiki. alexkid starts with a early chicago frankie knuckles groove evolving the song into a peakhour frenzy of electronic house at it s best. mr pigna aka marco passarani twists a bar or two from french kiss and turns the track into a jacking killer-groove alÁ powerplant 1987 with the vocals teared into parts and turned into a mutilated chant. for the not so vocal orientated around he kindly made a slamming dub as well. salutÉ

autosug is probably one of their best tracks ever and this deserved a special remix treatment... the original version comes with a club version plus two great remixes by heinrich mueller (dopplereffekt) and techno veteran anthony shake shakir. heinrich mueller went deeper into the machines and came up with a hi-tech electro piece which blows our minds! shake came up with a great classic remix reminiscent to his works on frictional records. future classic

our favourite italians eclat & prudo comes up with another killa in the form of >freeland<. slamming beats and crazy vocals drive the original mix to a peakhour climax while freestyle man turns into a more minimal start but pushes some extra horsepower into the track at the end. superjuno creates a slammer approach with heavy beat/bass department and catchy synthlines. top!

this is the first of the four parts of our new compilation traffic iii. from the beginning, the denomination traffic was meant to be an expression of the awareness that movement and change always were, still are and always will be an essential part of it. and that you can join in. the records are documents of this changes that occur step by step. whether the emphasis lies on the music in terms of time (future music, retro, music of this time…) or in terms of style (breakbeat, minimal, detroit, whatever…)

aka troy pierce (minus), enemy love ( cover y our face ) is a collection of dark eerie and sometimes twisted minimal techno tracks. all the tracks sit together in a similar v ein, but all shine indiv idually and the album walks the ambigious line between dancef loor hits and af ter hours jams. tunes like the anthemic grace (anxiety ) with its almost post-punk v ocal and hy pnotic, twangy melody is sure to send dancef loors ov er the edge. ref lected and leav ing take y ou down a darker path of introspection with the help of gibby millers dark, brooding v ocals. this album will push and pull y ou through a tripped-out laby rinth of sounds, sad and heavy-hearted at times powerful and full of grace others

featuring an inspiring vocal performance from one of the most influential political thinkers of our time,jesse jackson, >hope time< is an ode to free will, free thinking and world peace, oh yeah it s also one of the heaviest hitting records of this year. to anyone who has seen the stanton warriors over the last few months this track will be instantly recognisable.

new 12 from our friends from zagreb including shamed domu remix plus changes eddy meets yannah adria mix and thinkin about the dayz

the title track is an epic electro disco burner, blossoming with cool sounds, rolling basslines and freaky riffs. the track immediately appealed to our finnish friends putsch 79 who lay on the funk in their remix, complete with their trademark cheeky synth stabs, a killer bassline and clever key changes. perhaps saving the best to last is the 45rpm flip night panda, a straighter workout that transforms into a rolling electro house killer
