second release on sharivari records, coming from parisian musician art bleek, who already worked for rush hour, room with a view, loungin recordings, resopal or connaisseur.

producer toby leeming is making quite a name for himself. after a year of sowing the seeds on the underground, this london-based artist makes his first high profile release on arts newly formed dance division series. >messier 66< contains all the classic elements of pure dancefloor techno. driving ur style beats merge with basic channel chord delays - all underpinned by a menacing acid line. techno doesnt get any more sci-fi than the alien soundscapes of >anadine< - its classic detroit-inspired string stabs and abstract vocal washes are highlights of a frantic, scattering track that will keep the feet busy on the dancefloor. >paucity< ends this no-filler ep with its majestic, sweeping pads and uplifting melodies. the beats are still tough and relentless - making a perfect finale to the second release on arts dance division series.

wonderful release by kyle hall on his new detroit based label wild oats. masterpiece 4 track ep, each track divine and unique in its own way. hot jazzy kyle hall fashioned deephouse that can serve a lounge and at the same time bang even harder on a dancefloor. kyle halls experimentalist off beat antics meets smooth jazz would be a way to describe the sound. poly rhythms everywhere but at the same time a cohesive groovy soulful feel. overall this ep is a must buy for anyone who is for the future of the electronic music genre and enjoys quality.

limited cassette release with 60 minutes of experimental acid adventures by art brunell aka acid quiff aka the conformist.

herman is probably the coolest artist name we have heard in a while.. so unsexy and very unlikely that its not someone s real name... but stuart li must have had a laugh about it with some friends and some beers! stuart li aka basic soul unit aka herman starts this project for his production that one would not directly link to his chicago house rooted basic soul unit releases. herman delivers two hot tracks with dubstep fueled beats, sub bass driven grooves with detroit influenced sounds that one could expect on a label such as hessle audio. title track prototype is total killer which goes into the direction of 2562 and martyn. april skies sound like aril brikha meets 2562 meets basic soul unit. hot release!!

werkstoff musik war ursprünglich eine kleine partyreihe im berliner underground. mit neuen perspektiven und ehrgeiz entstand daraus die idee ein plattenlabel zu gründen, den namen aber beizubehalten. die einstige zielsetzung wird hierbei natürlich auch übernommen, mal für mal neue musikalische erlebnisse zu schaffen. dreher & sm.art dürften spätestens nach ihrem erfolgreichem depeche mode remix jedermann ein begriff sein. viele weitere produktionen auf namenhaften labels wie acker, rotary cocktail und ostwind folgten. nun zum kick-off das erstrelease >dreieckspeilung< auf werkstoff musik, ein track der es wirklich in sich hat. mittels fetten synthies und bassigen elementen wird hier eine musikalische abfahrt inszeniert. unterm strich ergibt das ein hammerstück, welches durch seine euphorische stimmung nach sommer und open air schreit. support kommt hierbei, mit den remixen, von frank martiniq und jerando.

these portraits in words and music will hang in the halls of your mind, taking shape as their features are described against backdrops of familiar and characteristic music

incredible deephouse track with a lot of energy. minimalized bassline is giving it a masculine drive and the lush melody is very lively giving the track a loose feel and nice build up. comes with one of those well crafted mark e remixes with that driving slow house beats and measured and steady build ups. after fa016 another strong fine art release! limited to 300 copies.

classic sounding track by two long going and respected techno heads.. fabrice lig and titonton. these guys take it back to the early nineties when techno was still fresh and new... the days that titonton and dan curtin were debuting with their sophisticated techno sound. raw funky 909 percussion, bleepy analogue synths and great warm string sounds and beautiful melodies. purist techno tracks that never go out of style and reminds the old blokes why we loved techno in that period so much. and it shows the young cats that there is more then the standard dj tool techno! beanfield is on remix duty here... and he delivers an updated modern dancefloor friendly house version with a great string section that reminds a bit of knights of the jaguar and a killer bassline after the break. check!

big with rustie, major lazer, boys noize, m.a.n.d.y.,apparat, si begg, monolake, coldcut,.. facing crisis and tormented by the sorrows of monetary depletion there was only one solution for the house of modeselektor. all capital must go! and fast! property funds crashing like windows 2000, investing in gold too 80s and the rights to jackos portfolio too expensive. only one answer remained: art. versed on the international art trade floor it was easy for the modeselektor boys to win over two sought-after art dealers, to seal the deal and to go on a shopping spree. art & cash is the shocking behind the scenes documentary of that german art campaign. in the process a scandal was revealed that is shaking experts to this day. for years and under the watchful eyes of millions did the fantastic nobodies - exceptionally gifted art counterfeiters and weirdos from brooklyn - manage to sell themselves as renowned works of art, thus creating inexplicable damage—
