>contemporary soul< is the term which best describethis release. karat has always felt that records speak for themselves, but if description is necessary, well, there you are. mzkbx (pronounced >music box<) has a soft spot for the classic sound of old school house productions, as well as a healthy fetisch for 80s funk & disco. his productions successfully bring those influences up to date and onwards to the future... veteran record collector and dj (macadam macambo), mzkbx handles the transition to studio with ease, delivering a solid release for karat, in grand style. elegant, classy and sincere, it grooves the dancefloor without reverting to the typical dance music cliches.

first on decks.de!! italys t-bet records returns, and as with the labels past string of releases, collaboration is a key theme. this time around we have a fresh constellation of players: acirne, who is half the duo diamond dog (along with her t-bet partner signor andreoni), teams up with rio padice, known for his work on bassculture and tsuba among others.

double 12 inch edition in gatefold cover of this 2006 album by the streets.

och pops up on baby fords pal sl imprint after a solid debut on autoreplys offshoot stuga musik. although the producer behind the och pseudonym remains mysterious for now, his early productions have garnered support from such esteemed figures as ame, norman nodge, gerd janson, dj sneak and anthony shake shakir, and this latest 12 inch is, in our humble opinions, ochs best yet. the standout track here hogs the entirety of the a side, with >bombay bedbath< characterised by some beefy drums and a drowning, late night soul vocal which complements the rolling groove. flip over for two wonderful b side obscurites, namely the rich ambient textures of >interlude intuitive< and twinkling piano lines and moody atmospherics of >out of key in<.

born in chile but raised in sweden, alexi delano, with fellow swedes like cari lekebusch, adam beyer, jesper dahlback, joel mull and others, became part of some of the first wave of swedish electronic music producers that made a name for themselves in the mid 90s, releasing on techno labels such as plus8, missile, primate, hybrid, svek and many more. his style dwells in the perfect balance between shiny minimalism and dark vivasious techno, which is exactly what you can expect from his brand new ep for leena >un do me<. as a long term friend of mobilee, and also an artist who’s productions fit well with many of our artists dj styles and tastes, its a great pleasure to finally release one of his productions on leena. both tracks on the ep >un do me< and >watch out< come with a powerful punch and high energy. with more than two decades on the stage, hes an artist that is certainly showing no intentions of slowing down. we hope you enjoy this!

marco resmann has done it. the studio computer is purring again like a satisfied kitten and those dark technical storm clouds have passed by. to prove that a streak of technical bad luck which he has just gone through can sometimes enhance creativity he has come up with this little gem of a new single >drop outz<. on a1 we have >mal pas< (transl: difficult road) which is an ode to the suffering he went through with his computer. but dont worry, its just a name, the track itself is as light and sweet as the stuff that we love from marco. b1 is also little beauty, no dark clouds to be found here either, and b2, a cracker called >whats cracking< is the ultimate proof to anyone that the sun always shines at upon you. enjoy and always think happy thoughts friends

>dance to the music< recalls the vitalic spirit of yesteryear, laced with smoking disco loops, rubberband basslines and a cajoling vocal hook that sounds so bright you would swear it was crafted with pure sunshine. the dub reveals a sexy bassline and those signature soularis beats. on the flip the boys dish up a a slice of deep house pie with high noon, dedicated to that green, sticky substance. mellow chords and marijuana endorsing samples make this song the perfect way to start off your mix-tapes and live gigs. the chill-out mix is a beautiful 7 minute smokers delight, complete with spine-tingling strings and downtempo rhythms which will leave you more horizontal than a few perkies and some choice lager.

dj roc shows off his brilliant high-speed sparse manipulations of rhythm, space and sound as in the dancehall.then there are tracks that mix smooth soul with double-speed like i cant control the feeling, to tracks which have more of a classic juke feel like get buck jones and dj roc symphony. the album is full of brilliant production and original ideas.

the 2 bears aka raf daddy and joe hot chip, follow up the success of their debut e.p. with another 4 track stunner >curious nature<. the 2 bears unique blend of tough, soulful music, that has a twinkle in its eye and a wiggle in its rear end, is a breath of fresh air in a world of wobbly basslines and soulless synths

welche musik begleitet dich bei den schoensten augenblicken und laesst dich von filmreifen sonnenuntergaengen an schneewei§en straenden traeumen? die antwort: early morning breaks. die chillout, lounge und deep house mix show beim sender planet more music radio hat laengst kultcharakter, die sessions von djs wie chris coco, dj jondal, dj mark, sinan mercenk, blank and jones und jan lang (fil-a-fil) werden nicht nur gern zum -runterkommen- nach dem clubbesuch gehoert, sondern auch zum -weekend closing- am sonntag abend. kein wunder, dass die cd-compilation zur sendung seit einem jahr ohne ermuedungserscheinungen auch bundesweit und sogar international in tausenden cd playern und ipods laeuft. auch early morning breaks vol 02 schickt sich an, so ein dauerbrenner zu werden. die besten chill-beats, beachhouse-tracks und lounge-grooves aus der show sowie mehrere exklusive und bisher unveroeffentlichte neu-entdeckungen wurden von dj mark (planet more music radio) und peacelounge-labelchef christian arndt zusammengestellt und sorgen in einem sommerlich-flauschigen mix fuer den richtigen sound zu jeder stimmung. ibiza resident chris coco steuert mit -my beach house- seinen traum von sonne, meer und strand bei und laesst den sommer im zeitraffer vorbeifliegen. ungewohnt ruhige klaenge liefert eddie thoneick, deutschlands house export nummer eins diesmal ab: sein -love under pressure- gibt es im wunderbar entspannten acoustic mix. laessige bossa-klaenge duerfen natuerlich auch nicht fehlen.

the kat edit stable pops back up and throws a couple of biggies into the pot ... first up is conscious of my conscience, which shouldnt really need an intro whatsoever. an out and out all ends up classic and a track largely overlooked by the masses when first released on the album conscience back in 88. mr beedle makes this sound bigger than ever with some wicked but subtle extensions & tweaks along the way. on the flip we have time is running out. ashley beedle takes the stevie winwood original, strips it bollock naked and re-dresses this into a wonderful psyched-out disco funk soul rock odyssey masterpiece. over 10 minutes of pure balearic dancefloor goodness, pure n simple. big ! oh, and on a super loud 12 inch pressing..

big with: matthias tanzmann, loco dice, sascha dive, federico molinari, einzelkind,.. after the big success of chris wood & meats >back down ep< on murmur records (groove charts position 2 !!), they sticked together to bring out their next ep on below records. because of the experience as djs and their work at freebase records, they know exactly what kind of music brings the dancefloor on fire. the a - side is a strong floorfiller, with a long intro section and very nice housecords rising in the middle of the track b 1 is an house track with a typical chicago oldshool feeling b 2 brings back the breakbeats on the dancefloor..

firmly focussed on the dancefloor, the three-tracker is highly percussive and sample-ridden at heart. its a record where a sense of drama comes naturally, so to speak - be it the crackle of thunder in >thundercloud< or the brooding atmosphere in >out in the weather<. while the irish landscape is never far away, its the frenetic high-pitch of a children voice that informs the energy of title track >dramatic disposition<. techno with a pulse and heart and a twist!
