tales from top billin vol. 3: the third and final episode in the tales saga has been a long time coming and here it finally is. the ep is our favorite so far as we got 3 very special tracks from our international friends and another 3 bangers from within our helsinki crew. baltimore club legend dj booman sets it off with an exclusive unreleased version of pick em up, the 1997 club anthem that became one of the definitive records in the genre. the unforgettable chant combined with the all new and bangin beat is bound to wreck any party and until now the only way to hear this was in boomans own sets...

the third 12 inch in this essential edit series sees greg wilson reference his past as a disco dj in the late 70s and, subsequently, electro-funk pioneer of the early 80s. going way back to his golden guinea days, ruff wrap revitalizes a hidden gem from 1977 by lady love. this version of casey & finchs infectious miami groover, wrap your arms around me, was a record that, although never issued in the uk, was a particular club favourite on merseyside - its local popularity very much down to one of wilsons influences, terry lennaine, who championed the track on his weekly specialist soul show, keep on truckin. moving on 6 years to 1983, ruff rapp re-arranges the seminal west coast rap cut bad times (i cant stand it) by captain rapp, which was a monster tune on the black scene during the electro-funk era, having initially featured at wilsons club nights back then, legend and the hacienda in manchester, plus wigan pier. focusing on the social problems of the time, the subject matter of the lyric certainly translates to the current credit crunch climate. the crew behind >bad times< included jam & lewis and rich cason, whilst kimberly balls excellent vocal sets the whole thing off

jay haze(tuning spork) lends his analog ways to abe+blakes classic >disco lights<. the release includes a recut version of the original track ad well(adr07). the haze mix is thick and thumps. deep chords and deeper bass. a warm house version that keeps baxter lighting the way.

rene amesz is back with a bang with this excellent single on rising music. rene is at his best on this sleazy, low down dirty slab of tech house. his characteristic beats slide along underneath a filthy bassline and mesmerizing vocal loop. plenty of soaring synths keep this track building and building the whole way through. an essential track for every main room from london to sydney.

the debut album from duesseldorfs musiccargo links germanys experimental musical legacy from the last several decades to todays vibrant, eclectic dancefloors: in widescreen, technicolour vision. this is an album that makes joyful use of germanys musical heritage. italian afro/cosmic pioneer beppe loda has called musiccargo >die neue neu!<(the new neu!). whether you call it krautrock, kosmiche muzik, or techno, you will literally hear echoes of all those legendary side-projects and jam sessions of the 70s and 80s. limited 200 copies.

per martinsen aka mental overdrive shouldnt need any introduction being the granddad of the norwegian electronic music scene and all... hidden away in a little snowcave near the polar circle hes currently preparing the bits that eventually will become his debut album for full pupp.weve heard some bits and though wed like to keep them all under the lid for a little while longer, heres a little sneak peek of what hes done and hopefully preparing you off his unique take on modern dance music taking in elements of new wave, new beat, detroit and dubstep on the way. per unleashed this on us at one of the full pupp nights in oslo and recently we saw how it took the roof off at fabric... for the b-side we paired per up with the equally detroit-loving blackbelt andersen which gives us a hi-speed samba techno work out with a unhealthy deep bass.

one of rough trades island 50th anniversary selection - 50 crucial titles, specially selected by us to highlight the unique contribution this seminal label has made to british music since 1959. jones best post disco album recorded in nassau, bahamas, with a truly remarkable studio band, including the legendary reggae rhythm team of sly dunbar and robbie shakespeare, along with marianne faithful collaborator barry reynolds on guitar. the songs are generally arranged in an innovative, ahead of their time way (echoey yet spare, with lots of deep bass) that owes a bit to dub and in any case provides a perfect backdrop for jones queen of the undead vocals. highlights include the proto rap walkin in the rain, (by easybeats / ac/dc auteurs vanda and young) and a spooky cover of bill withers use me.

for this wph excursion - reggie dokes brings 3 brand new tracks and one older gem that has been edited and reworked by fcl (san soda and red d). an ep by reggie dokes on we play house recordings was simply inevitable. not only does this mans music move us to the extreme, reggie and label boss red d also go a long way back and have been friends ever since red d visited the movement festival in 2003.

the latest gigolo release is one for the summer! aptly titled hot it comes courtesy of ivano coppola and christian prommer, the former being one of italia s most respected dj s and the latter being, amongst other things, one of the main collaborators for hells critically acclaimed album teufelswerk. taking a sample from willie ninjas classic record hot and building a track around the chords and the vocal leads us to our starting point ivano coppola plastic mix!
ivano coppola has been the resident dj at milan s plastic club since 1992, so it is fair to say that he knows what works on a dance floor, or, to use a popular phrase, what is hot and what is not. it is with this historical knowledge that we find the genesis of our track. i found it necessary to go back in the past, to start producing once again in a 90 style - using samples. the next step was to come back into the future and reach out to christian prommer, highly respected by many including ivan i consider (christian prommer) one of the best producers of the moment! he loved the idea, the remix was huge, and so we decided to co-produce the record. simple!!!
but, for christian this was more then a remix, hence the co-production credit! i liked the idea of translating an early 90 s house-music-sample in to a sample-style-percussive-techno-tune. lots of live played drums and percussion in this one, of course. i only later learned that the sample we used is from one of my house music heroes, maws louie vega. naturally the record found its way into the hands of gigolo in the best way possible, and in the tradition of such a great record label – i played it at the gigolo night in munich and hell came to me dancing and took the tune into his heart.

no more words.. plastic rules is on the way again! this time well known someone else delivers a total eclectic package that is being digged by almost everyone! incl a splendit dancefloor mix by re:direct (terminal m)

mike humphries with another fresh release for the techno fans. the latest gem in an ever growing series features the growing stars concrete dj z and k.e.n.y.u. big beats and great sounds make sure this will get loads of plays and will find its way to many dj s recordbags. another great diverse record compiled for just one goal: dance till you drop!!

>my pet gorilla< is jerome sydenhams interpretation of rolling techno thunder. energy, big kicks, fat bass lines and infectious piano chords. what you are left with, is purehands-in-the-air apotek techno. prime time business! >tonto< is a deep techno track with an immense grooveaccompanied by futuristic efx, rhythms, and chords that forcefully exhibit jerome sydenhams consistency and forward thinking yet again. this deeply satisfying modern remedy represents in appropriate doses the meaning of deep tech syndrome for the psyche and the floor. >museum of modern< is a tough and funky and minimal tech- house track. this edgy experience is filled with surprises. the groove gives way to an epic rise that collapses into an unforgettable breakdown. with no empty spaces jerome sydenham pushes the envelope to pumpout this cross genre gem.

played by karotte, giles smith (secretsundaze), laurent garnier... already up to its 17th release, yore keeps rolling on, this time with a new release by memory foundation. in 1994 robert hood found his way into a dark basement somewhere in viennas suburbia. mr. hood was impressed by what he had heard, and with him a dat-tape took a long journey back to where techno was invented once. with their first appearance on detroits m-plant label 15 years ago, the memory foundation or one of their many alter egos found its way into the hearts and the record-bags of many serious electronic music lovers. in 1997, after setting up their own record labels central and together with jeremiah grow! and other releases on m-plant, 7th city or usm followed. the memory foundation now returns with their contribution for the yore camp, with their >reptiles in exile ep< they prove that they havent lost their magic touch. the track burns with electro-funk fire, with natural kit and cymbal sounds giving the already-surging cut extra thrust and the staccato burble of metallic chords adding berlin flavour. a lithe eight-note bass motif anchors the warm techno-funk of >bass traveller< as a flaring synth motif squiggles alongside rhodes chords and a boogieing clavinet line, and its easy to become so engrossed by the tunes relaxed swing that the artistry of its arrangement can go underappreciated. textbook body music, >summer visions< is an earthier, mid-tempo funk workout thats sure to get the dance floor crowded, while the light-speed closer >reptiles< blazes a slinky house trail whose fresh swing has got yore written all over it. with any luck, we wont be waiting twelve more years for the next memory foundation release

hailing from the musical mecca of austin, texas, and following up their brilliant debut album from last year, which featured in our year end top 10, with this already hugely lauded sophomore effort. recorded by the band in their infamous studio/trailer, wailing fuzz guitars, soulful, yearning, emotive vocals, and one of the tightest rhythm sections going provide the currency in which this unique power trio explore their brilliant, unexpected and wide ranging musical ideas. an entirely original, sprawling combination of sixties rock touchstones, free form jazz jamming, and a defiantly post punk spirit, and all performed with a precision, and vibrant intensity not often found on record.

this is the first in a series of three various artist 12 inch releases, that features four of the dublin labels most trusted henchmen. puresthatreds >robbery< is his debut track on mantrap and what an awesome one it is: dark imposing bass and beats meet the sound of smashing glass, rave led keys and all round mayhem, with haunting strings that send this one into deepest hell. meeting him there is magnetize, who in one take supplied this evil vox led synth grinder in >distant observer< , with deft 808s and distorted crackling fx creating both a scary but grooving feel. rory st john pushes wobbly techno eccentricity on >dysentry<, with fluid editing and supreme use of effects proving again why he is one of the most exciting new talents around. sunil sharpes >print more money and shut up!< is a slippery mover, where a succession of unruly lead sounds accompany odd vocals and rasping hats - with a straightforward approach that will penetrate all in its way. so, four top class techno cuts here, all with their own unique character and all for peak time play.

vertex is an exploration in two parts. the a sideÆs vertex and the locus of points explore the trackier side of tejadaÆs work meant mostly for vinyl play. both tracks make good use of strong wavetable chorded sounds, which are modulated throughout. the rhythms of the chords make up the identity of the track with elements coming in and out. vertex showcases a more layered approach to take the track from a percussive to a smooth feel. the locus of points follows more of a straight up techno approach sounding simple and effective. the b-side explores the more melodic and arrangement based side of tejadaÆs work. liquid mirror is a track rich in layers. 3 modular synth layers provide the initial modulating melodic ground work which is then complimented by lush tejada keyboard work bringing the song to itÆs apex and then reducing it back to itÆs start all while backed by tejadaÆs powerful drum work. p.l.l. (which stands for phase locked loop, a process explored here) continues this theme in a less obvious way. modular synths and drum tracks start things off while midway a modulating melodic phrase is introduced playing back a bit differently every time. four songs in all showcasing tejadaÆs simple and complex approach to dance music.

bambino is back again with another argentinean export manuel sahagun! after releases under his belt on labels such as drop music, so sound, wiggle, flavor, kolour, guesthouse, blockhead and picking up support from the likes of terry francis, mark farina, miguel migs, lawnchair generals, dj heather, inland knights, da sunlounge etc. he brings the heat to bambino in form of a 4 tracker ep, that just oozes quality all the way through every single groove on the vinyl. all four tracks range from funky, tech, deep house that will please most dance floors out there!

yet another live/production outfit has sprouted from the fertile techno soil of amsterdam. its name - gimikk - echoes the unpretentious attitudes and sounds of our flourishing underground scene. it was the open and co-operative spirit of our new school techno generation that brought daniel sanchez and eelco augustijn aka. e-contact together. after two well-received eps and a lot of hard work their debute album is a fact. we present to you untitled concept, a killer collection of tracks set to shake up dancefloors around the globe.

rennie pilgrems remix competition winners new duo bsd kick off their breakbeat career with this massive ep intoxikated muzik. a real musical journey which takes a really solid and original approach to the breaks sounds. challenging sounds, with a clear common point, positive vibe and both great dancing and listening tunes all the way down.

after releasing successful lps in the past, we re happy to announce a new manmade recordings series by the name of feature funk. the first release features some more proper floor filling funky break beats by well known beat mixing talents like funkanomics, basementfreaks, quasamodo and manmade. the feature funk series begins with a typical manmade styled tune called supersonic. coming with fast hammond chords in the beginning, followed by a rolling bass line and punched with a short feature form benins (west africa) upcoming rap star penny this track kicks ass! with lets dance explodes another funk bomb from quasamodo. this talented producer from greece gives another masterpiece-definition of the phrase funky breakbeat. hi did an unbelievable mix with this on of a kind nightrider feeling. basement freaks is another greek rooted producer, who fires one more funk missile with his track hot beastie. after having released plenty of successful tracks on different international labels, we re happy he found his way on this record. get your party started with this one! funkanomics hit things hard again with their recognisable style, and we re happy to present them on this record. their track is a wild and fast mixture of kravitz rock elements combined with classic old school raps. their track kravitzbuster makes mincemeat out of clubs!

one of the great aspects of the endlessly varying bass music soundwave is the way it seems able, even compelled, to fuse antecedant styles and genres to itself. in the most innovative hands, influences from last month are absorbed and reworked as smoothly as those from last century, and creativity sparks brightest when the marriage of form and function takes place beyond recognised boundaries? and it?s from that unrestricted zone that uk producer o-dessa emerges. opening with an initial resemblance in sound to the same plaintive blue air of burial, as these tracks resonate deeper in the mind, it becomes clear that this sonic affinity is merely a veil beneath which a new heart beats. the rhythms lurking below the bassline in ?deeper? are like some undiscovered amalgam of old skool hardcore and something you might hear on the latest dirty south mixtape, which somehow manage to defy sense and co-exist in a driving and breathtaking way. mournful mariachi horns and a plunging dub bassline intermingle in a desolate approximation of sergio leone?s western soundtracks, while reedy flutes and distant female voices build a swirling vapour through which skittering woodblocks and metallic ticks raise an anxious sense of motion. anchored by a vast, cone-melting sub-bass undertow, ?deeper? s treasures are buried well below the surface. the juxtapositional subtle-tear-out nature of o-dessa?s production is even more apparent in ?million dollarz?, which reveals itself in stages to be a gradual descent into layers of tweaked amen breaks, but with a grandeur unlike anything previously heard, even though that drum pattern has already been chopped countless ways over the years. it?s not until midway through its five-and-a-half minutes that the famous phased snares rise from the dense banks of atmospherics, but when they do, a moment of blurred euphoria hits and the tune bursts into colourful life. this 12¬ is the first broadcast of many more to come from o-dessa, as - like many have in their own way before and still more strive to do so now - he embarks on his individual journey in the continual reinvention of bass music. instant thrill junkies won?t find their fix in these grooves, but followers of the path less travelled will recognise many signs pointing the way to a rich future.

played by mathias kaden, sebo k, tobi neumann, karotte....there is a date this year in autumn you should keep in mind: the release of marcel knopfs first album on mos ferry. being a dj marcel knopf is used to fathom genre boundaries and now and then he dives into dubstep, electronica and realms of pop. with the single dusty dance you get a foretaste of the upcoming congenial longplayer. in its own way, his single enables an acoustic addiction of a thrilling style mix. these two tracks move in between smart techno and grooving illustrious house and points out, that knopf doesnt want to be bound to one musical direction. the title track and a-side of the single >dusty dance< is one of the floor fillers of his album. get ready for an enthralling groove, a monster break and a hook, where any bias against trumpets in the club is blown away. on the b-side youll find the oldschool frickling house track >rec-chord<, which reflects knopfs addiction for the beloved vinyl format. go out and get yourself a physical copy, to hear this nice and comfortable sizzling noise. its the best way to get a charming club feeling. and always remember: who buys first, may listen longer!

>ghost story< ist eine faszinierende reise in die dunkelheit begleitet von gruseligem piepen und geisterhaften melodien. auf der b-seite verzichtet >this way we play<, keinesfalls auf den schaurigen nervenkitzel. der track ist treibend und schlagend zu gleich, mit unheimlich verstimmten synths...

>time to bring the funk and intensity back in a new way. time to open the sound again<, sagt luke slater zu seinem planetary assault systems album. er generiert über die gesamte spielzeit eine industrielle härte und energie, die man schon länger nicht mehr dermaßen auf den punkt gebracht bei einem technoalbum gehört haben dürfte

with electric rescue, the french dj d jedi, who is known all over paris, becomes a part of the cocoon family. he is connected with the development of techno in france already since the beginning of the nineties. despite being busy as a producer for commercials and soundtracks, he always finds some time to release exciting electronic music on imprints such as f comm, communique, elp media and paul nazcas label scandium, where he has released his debut album >el.ue< three years ago. with the two tracks on >the darkest star<, electric rescue succeeds in the daring feat of transforming the energy of rave tracks from the early nineties into the present time without producing an anachronistic impression. besides a tectonically shaking bass drum, the title track relies on the power of sound, a superlative of raw club energy with a twist of irony, which can set a surprising climax with a steadily rising noise level, even after almost ten minutes. >the devils dance< is grafting a comparably brute state-of-emergency techno in a somehow restrained way, rhythm-wise, but is no less effective with its distinctive acid sound effects. and who said that modern techno cant use the tradition of belgian rave-signal-floor-burners?

christopher spero a.k.a glimpse has really made a name for himself the way that producers and djs in this day and age should: by making tasteful music of the highest caliber, and putting substance over style. these two tracks co-produced with frequent collaborator and head of the hypercolour label, alex jones, put that said taste on display in a refined and elegant form of house music.true friends pumps right from the beginning with a chunky rolling kick drum only made denser by the thick brushing percussion that surrounds it. before the beats become to overwhelming a soothing male vocals drifts in reminding how hard it is these days to find a true friend. a stark tune of epic proportions. returning with a similar pressure from drum programming aesthetic, which basically means hefty percussion layered over warm and tumbling drums. æcambria sets itself apart from the a-side with a more open-air vibe. light piano notes float along side softly played wind instruments, creating a surreal dreamlike audio experience that still has the tools to do damage on the dance floor. glimpse and alex jones have really put some true style, grace and class into their music. masters at creating a distinctive sound that exist in the space where warm and lush tones meet musicality and stimulation. a summer record with good vibes scrawled all over it.

hailing from montpellier, rodriguez jr. makes his return to leena with “kids of hula,” bringing the coastal sounds of his hometown along with him. after the success of “rubbo swingo”, his first release on leena, rodriguez jr.—who also comprises half of f communications’ the youngsters—went on to release records for boxer recordings and mothership. on leena’s 11th release, he has returned for a second round, once again displaying his softer side as a housey, psychedelic producer. “kids of hula“ begins on a strongly melodic note with airy, exotic chords leading the way and occasional accents of tropical percussion lining the backdrop. old-school throwbacks also have their place here, as the track climaxes with the use of psychedelic vintage sounds that recall the work of space disco giant lindstrom until they ultimately fuse together with the track’s initial harmonies to create a complex and layered final product. the b-side “pandora” begins with a more stuttered beat and a warbled, static-laced environment. the track reaches its high point with psychedelic sounds comparable to those heard on the a-side that possess a more hypnotic, melodic, and spacey twist. digital exclusive “offshore” fills its landscape with fragments of vocals and high pitched bleeps, blurps, squeals that alternate in time with one another until vintage synthesizers enter the picture. as the track progresses, the old-school synthesizer sounds and vocal snippets unite and begin to work together in unison, by the time the track reaches its peak, the vintage synths have taken on a completely new sound and direction, guiding the pulse of the track until its ending.

baltimore trio double dagger creates a cacophonous wall of sound. their dynamic combination of energy, melody, angst, and playfulness is captured exquisitely on their third full length thrill jockey debut. lp is limited to 1.000 copies and includes free download coupon. double dagger has performed with no age, lightning bolt, pissed jeans, pere ubu, and the buzzcocks, and they ve toured extensively with dan deacon and the deathset.

big with dorian paic, meat, federico molinari, reboot. horacio ist ein neues projekt von massimo di lena, besser bekannt als massi dl, zusammen mit seinem partner dario di pace. die beiden stammen aus italien und die stücke auf dieser ep sind absolute party garanten. sie passen perfekt zur kommenden sommersaison und wir hoffen, dass sie euch genau soviel spass bereiten wie uns.

spencer product is back after his debut mix cd product. this time he delivers a party anthem we bite with razor sharp remixes from londons tronik youth and nyc darlings designer drugs. we bite, named after one of spencers classic lower east side sleezefests is an ode to honest to goodness late night debauchery. its all about downtown basements, pbr, dirty sex, cocaine and vomit...what more do you need. spencers original is an overdriven distorted electro rock affair while designer drugs clean it up a bit for the late night electro beatdowns. tronik youth keep things very 80s new wave disco with heavy reverbs on the drums, cheap synths and vocoders all the way...if you cant get a trip in to new york this year just close your eyes and this record will take you there.

this record is a bomb! it had to be said... telegraph is proud to present tom ellis first vinyl album! sex, drugs and sausage rolls is an 8 track project that showcases the huge talent of this special uk producer. there are so many hits on this record that we can definitely call it a bomb and djs will go crazy for this one! all tracks are dancefloor killers, always funky and groovy they are full of creativity evolving into different atmospheres. a uk garage flavour on some tracks brings a fresh vibe into his productions, toms music definitely is very human and always musical. the sexy vocal tracks like simple truth or boogie turns are just incredible and sound like nothing else. sex, drugs and sausage rolls will become a classic record over time. toms highly acclaimed and ever growing discography spreads far and wide through labels such as hartchef, minibar, trimsound (his own imprint), logistic, archipel, floppy funk, morris audio and telegraph. he regularly performs live around europe and can be witnessed displaying his bass guitar skills along side label partner leif with their trimsound live project.

legendary sub club resident harri, teams up with fellow glaswegians and justifiably hyped producers the revenge to cook up this stripped back and relentless raw house joint. already a massive cut for a select few djs serviced well upfront, this track has cropped up on more than a few most wanted lists. its thundering main hook driven along with fierce percussion and a simmering tension that seems set to boil over never fails. the dub mix swaps the ferocious claps for a haunting bell tone, paving the way for a tripped out excursion 20.000 leagues under. vera completes the 12inch with her hypnotising tribal groove punctuated with rising synths that offers a lighter, brighter take on the original.

another mouthwatering viper beatz release sees the daylight and this bombshell is guaranteed to devastate the dance floors on a global scale. live a lie a jewel in the typical way only g town madness & the viper can create, breathes brilliance and has not only been receiving heavy dj support from the total top in hardcore such as endymion, nosferatu, tomyknocker, dj panic and evil acitivies, but is also to be found on major compilations like hardcore to the bone xiii, and in qontrol. with its impressive anthem break live a lie brings unity and gets back to that true feeling of hardcore: come as one! envy shows the raw side of these craftsman resulting in an ear piercing, raging, full in your face hardcore track yet without losing any of the true g town madness & the viper feel. the result is a raw hardcore bomb, as probably many would not expect from this magical duo. crazy edits, weird synth patterns and freaked distorted bone shattering kick drums bring a refreshingly different taste within g town madness & the viper releases till date. current dj support by the likes of partyraiser, neophyte, tha playah and outblast. when angerfist heard cliffhanger, he decided to give it an angerfist refix. gtm and the viper were so pleasantly surprised when they heard this, they immediately decided to let everyone enjoy this fine piece of rework. after circulating within the hardcore scene for quite a while also this tune will leave a mark on the hardcore scene as we know it.

big with richie hawtin, tiefschwarz, loco dice, dubfire, jeff k ... new sub-division lessizmore limited is the occasion for us to produce new artists and to release their work in a beautiful colored 10 inch, 500 copy limited pressing for audiophiles. the first release is focused on two new hopes of 2009: jin choi and dop. jin choi has released many impressive eps on ware, archipel and roman photo. his tracks are subtle, full of details, he looks for instruments and singings you would never expect in a usual dance tune. carnivores is a long and melancholic trip which cannot let you unmoved. french trio dop does a complete rework of the track, adding their own voices, some punchy percussions and a pinch of sex appeal. they keep the original vocals and instruments but use it in such a different way that makes it look funnier.

following the success of his last lp, chronicles of never, and his recent track jedwab on nick curlys 8bit imprint, marcin czubala makes his return to mobilee with mezcalinna. continuing his string of exceptional releases bearing his unmistakable signature marksùslinky, undulating grooves full of bizarre twists and turns that ceaselessly continue to surprise the listenerùmezcalinna is comprised of two tracks whose continuities only serve to highlight the ways in which they differentiate themselves from and act as complements to one another. day 1 begins with a heavy bass line echoed by a stuttering percussive beat that guides the rhythm until the vocal chants and kick drum drop. accented by occasional drum fills and cymbal crashes, the track reaches its climax with the entrance of a lone piano chord that, despite its initially alienating presence, ultimately serves as a means of melding and unifying the tracks constituent components. if day 1 is an early morning track, day 2 provides its counterpart as a nighttime dance floor stormer with a darker sound and haunting, reverb-laced vocals. also beginning with a splattering of percussion but taking a decidedly somber turn with dissonant synthesizer stabs and an eerie vocal loop that shadows the track from beginning to end, rhythm and creative use of contorted vocals lead the way as this track zigzags in a way that only marcin czubala can make music do

peter kruder is one of those emblematic names that lead a whole decade and inspire myriads of djs, producers and clubbers all over the world. while he enjoys unprecedented success with kruder & dorfmeister and crossed into the platinum range (selling 1 million copies of the k&d sessions album), he never lost track of the underground. probably his stellar career would never have happened exactly this way if there wasn’t the other kruder: the adventurous dj, the deep producer, the challenging a&r at g-stone, the producer behind dj hell’s highly acclaimed “teufelswerk” album. in 15 years peter kruder has done only 3 singles under his own name though. when you get your ears around “chordal” and “law of return” it becomes totally clear why this rare outing happens on macro. kruder meets his macro debut full on modernism - showcasing his deep, dark, dancefloor grounded side. with a crisp harmonic sequence reminiscent of tchaikovsky’s nutcracker suite, “chordal” hijacks brains on the dancefloor with its vacuum depth and sizzling details. “law of return” on the other side is a kruder signature take on deepness - solemn chords wrapped around a hypnotic groove give you tears of joy. a masterpiece!

the plan for 2009? the 6th album in the crystal distortion series is well under way, due for release in september. in the meantime there will be plenty of dancefloor material via a variety of different labels, live performances up to at least next winter, recording and mixing an album for brusselsÆ favourite alternative orchestra back to normal , remixes for techno punk group pinstickers , and a sonic warfare conference in a secret location with ingmar walker (half of acid techno superduo air liquide ), and dr macabre (remembered for his world dominating lunatic asylum ).
enjoy the music.

this release is the first part of a remix series, which will bring the mellow atmosphere of alifs album to the club floors and lift it to another level. chloe impressively emphasizes her experimental potential by remixing alif trees reality in a quite dark, but still pushing way. different layers of vocals decorate the rather broken minimal house track and transfer it to a floor filling anthem. the renowned dutch producer-/dj-team tj kong & nuno dos santos already demonstrated their ability to create soulful but still deep and pushing house music. through their past releases on compost black label, such as the tranentrekker/dropout û maxi or the single merging which features vocals by house legend robert owens, the international demand for all kinds of collaboration with the talented tag team increased noticeably.

the mysterious yet prolific berliner, lars wickinger, returns to living with this fantastic new ep. three solid yet mesmerising and catchy dancefloor tracks. since his last visit to the label lars has been refining his sound even further. releasing on more trendy labels than you can shake a stick at and even investing in real life hardware! oh yes hardware! remember that? the awkwardly titled alicia @ the wonderland is a tight, rolling, pleasing tease of a song that finally delivers in superb style - one you have to play all the way to the end! when that vocal drops, oh my, dancefloor craziness for sure. greenland is a tight bouncy number with an infectious groove and well placed vocal snatches and more than forgivable sax samples. the swing side of the moon somewhat lives up to its name with it s swinging dark vibe - perfect b2 material. classy stuff all the way through.

the 2009 sonic youth album on double vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

hard ton is a very welcome new addition to the dissident clan, and yet another old school analogue kit freak. time to jack is raw acid business that breaks into falsetto vocals half way thru before diving back into jacking analogue territory. a sure-fire winner for summer. marilyn is lush deep and dreamy dance-pop full of vocal hooks and sublime synth textures, perfect for the end of night and late morning sets
