no much is known about the new kid in the playground ladzinski, but what we do know is that he has his own sound placed firmly between the different schools of proper house music. he steps up to the plate to deliver a true gem of a first release with four varied but very modern house tracks, there are elements of chicago, new york, detroit and berlin spread across the whole ep. spacey chords, deep sub-bass and snappy drums give this ep a real warm feel for the dance floor.

yore returns with yet another deep master piece. javier alvarez, a madrid based producer and proprietor (along with his younger brother dubbyman) of the underground label deep explorer music, brings his relaxed above smoke sound to the yore imprint. in the first of four warm and atmospheric mood pieces, awfully drapes dense synthetic winds over a deliciously grooving, bass prodded deep house pulse. get down does exactly that with five funky minutes of rhodes chords, disco hi hats, and synth swirls, a percolating bass line lends the track a propulsive charge, while crowd voices give the cut a party vibe. on the b sideÆs ôthe fixö javier scatters chopped fragments of the spoken line, i ve got a lot of shit to say and i cant say it all in one day, i cant say it all on one piece of tape, over a funk house groove, after which dubbyman offers variations on the theme in his remix of the track, dubbymans version digs deeper into the cuts bass science and warms the tunes slinky pulse with hand percussion and claps. old school in its embrace of classic house sounds, above smokes ep is tailor made for those who like their material laid back, groove centered, and funky.

if ever a dj wanted to buzz the dancefloor then this is the little gem to go with for sure, a 7inch coloured slice of pure designers soundz ....a taste from danton eeproms up and coming album >yes is more<!

with hot re workings of ricardo villalobos enfants and akefe iku s huge mirror dance, and releases on worlds best underground house labels, the package is complete. october 2009 will see spencer s debut release on 2000 and one s area remote label!

a mysterious french wonderbomb sampling the sos band with aplomàthis reeks of ol skool parisian style...who is it? we cant say...yet!

you might remember collen & webb who from one of the early gamm releases (the jamaican jerk off). the boys are now back with two hot reworks on soul diva pauline?s hit single ?give me a call?. for fans of the soulful philly sound we recommend the ?soulful smash? version which rides on the o?jays ?back stabbers? sample. but if u?r into the amy winehouse sound u definitely need to check the ?northern smash? version with its jazzy loops and fierce rhythms. btw, watch out for more collen & webb action on gamm later this year...they got sum hot motown stuff in their trunks!

hot on the heels of phonica records inaugural release comes a new 12inch on the label from jc freaks, with a very special remix from the revenge. jc freaks is the duo of anthea nzekwu and werner niedermeier. like hector, who helmed phonica 001 with ben bryant, anthea is phonica through-and-through, working behind the counter at the london store. an award-winning dj, she produces with werner as jc freaks and has already released two acclaimed 12inchs on mojuba offshoot wandering. dub praise is a sultry, funked-up assault on the dancefloor, incredibly direct and immediate but full of subtle modulations and dub chords. theres a jacking, almost boompty feel to the track, but the blissed-out vocal snippets, rich synth-tones and burbling acid licks give it a timeless, rolling quality beyond that. this is seriously addictive stuff. on the flip theres a remix from the revenge, aka graeme clark. phonica have been huge fans of clarks releases on labels like jiscomusic and instruments of rapture over the years, both solo and as part of 6th borough project. here he reimagines dub praise as a deep disco track which is all spaced-out percussion, breezy keys and low-slung bass but has real character and intensity to it. so it is that the eponymous label run out of londons best electronic music store continues its march on the worlds dancefloors and dj-boxes - with a 12 inch of hypnotic house class that fizzes with ideas and, more than anything, groove

alcohol, drugs, overdrive, noise, neon lights, party people, revolution, rave is king ! . this could be mr fukkk offf moto, this crazy german guy, signed on coco machete for his album, gave us two banging electro-house party anthems bloodfuck & i give you bass. bastian heerhorst, better known as fukkk offf, from hamburg germany, had nearly every blog on his shit last year, and you know why ? just because hes not kidding, this is just dancefloor stuff, nothing else, but surely it works

big with: cassy, bo irion, dan curtain, jorge savoretti, electric indigo, mateo murphy, noah pred, pheek, patrick bateman, tomboy, the youngsters, ion ludwig,.. the result is a co-production between catenaccios head-honcho benjamin fehr and falko brocksieper (sub static, tuningspork, leena). inspired to create a laid-back environment between improvisation and restriction, the two are exploring ways to join their different views on a shared passion for deep, dark, organic and abstract techno. the result is >niagara< and >give up< - the first two pieces from this ongoing production cycle. both tracks are developing a long vibrant flow of eclectic structures and agile sequencing of field recordings and analog sound aesthetics

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.

over the last half year shaun baker has been busy producing and fine-tuning his new single give!. in the meantime together with dance nation shaun produced the hit single sunshine 2009. to make the premium package complete just like with v.i.p. & hey hi hello, uptunes have pulled in again the remixing talents of the internationally acclaimed michael mind. raindropz! has also been employed yet again to produce his version of give!. we are sure his version will not only find acceptance from the hand ups quarter but from a much wider audience making this shaun baker release probably the best shaun baker track to date.

like any group enthralled by the history of electronic pop, the fascination movement love remixes. on the heels of their 0.5 ep, and to keep you busy while they put the finishing touches on their debut album, they give you remix vol 1. starcluster twists “radio” into burbling new dancefloor shapes with a tinge of 90s proto-house including 808 drums and roland baselines, alba (a new project with roland sebastian faber and michael black of unit 4/jupiter black) reworks “down again” into something sweeping and nocturnal, adding rock flavored live drums and a new shimmering melody on top. elitechnique stunningly suspends “just pretend” in space with spinning organs, transforming it from a propulsive pop song into something wholly different. in the days of dime a dozen remixes that consist of nothing more than retro-fitting tracks with a 4/4 beat, these beauties show off the originals in new and surprising ways.

a selection of tracks that have doing the rounds on digital and cdr over the past year or so but never made it to the black gold. all serious party bangers here that have seen support from the likes of derrick may, paul mac, mark williams and of course sims himself!

jetzt hats mal wieder ein wenig gedauert dafür freuen wir uns umso mehr endlich den erstling des analog roland orchestra auf pastamusik präsentieren zu dürfen. und los geht es gleich mit >jacks highway< einem bewusst gezügelten , hoch energetischen und dabei in sich ruhenden minimal house-track - eben einem klassischen opener. die vokalbegleitung vermittelt ein gefühl von bewegung, der Überwindung von grenzen egal ob im club oder auf dem weg, wo immer der auch hinführt. give the zombies what they want da stellt man sich unwillkürlich die frage: >was wollen die eigentlich wirklich< (vom verzehr ihrer lebenden artgenossen mal abgesehen)? wie wärs zur abwechslung mal mit ein bisschen unterhaltung und wir liefern dazu gleich mal den soundtrack. geradlinig und mit ein paar schöne acid-schleifen verziert kann man bei der nummer bestimmt alles mögliche sitzen bleiben gehört ganz sicher nicht dazu.>diverse< name = programm, roland nicht name des künstlers. dem exemplarischen abarbeiten an seinem 303/606/909 (und wie sie alle heißen) analog-elektro-tierchen habe wir sehr gerne noch ein kleines plätzchen auf der b-seite eingerichtet. was sonst bei einer so schönen nummer...

phat rockin 3 tracker !! television rocks präsentiert zero cash s neusten release “give it to me”. nachdem zero cash sich in den letzten monaten hauptsächlich mit remixen für maral salmassi, raziek und masturbo beschäftigt hat, serviert er uns nun seine bunte mixtur von drei mitreißenden tracks. angefangen mit dem dancefloor-kracher „give it to me“ geht es auf der anderen seite mit dem extrem funkigen disco-house track „suck, push, pull“ weiter. zum schluss serviert uns zero cash noch den perfekten electro-roadmovie soundtrack mit “meatpoint”. alles in allem eine sehr gelungene mischung, die jeden club zum kochen bringt.

another 1994 deep house classic

incl. fernando daxta remix ! apart from chocolate, beers and clouds, belgium has definitely one good thing to offer and that is the high quality, variety and maturity of its electronic music scene. denis moulin and laurent acoustix (malistix) are long time respected players in the area, playing a live set fulfilled by, far beyond hype, pure timeless deep electronic moments. produced by heavy analog machinery, the change has been marking the local spirits around for some years now and we thought it was about time to put it out on vinyl and give it some extra hippie yeah treatment...

incl agnes rmx !! for our new release on perspectiv, we are really proud to introduce you the berlin based artist dana ruh which already released her wonderful music on prestigious labels like einmaleins or mina records. on the a side >history of the sun< is 11 minutes journey full of warmness, on an edge, minimal house & on the other, totallymental grooves. this is a real jewel for all the electronic connoisseurs . on the flip our favorite ladyboy agnes (sthlmaudio) give us a fantastic rework. deep samples and magic edit for a great moment of nu house.

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. were gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainlly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut. just the way we like it...for int005 we bring you a slow house chugger in the form of break the barriers, done by malaysian born and berlin based frankie flowerz. i have to say, its not by choice i decided to put this track out but a calling... upon hearing this track in frankies myspace player i knew i had to put this out over 12 inches in full scope... i spent some time trying to come up with the perfect match for remix duties and i think weve succeeded with the choice of man of the moment(and soon to be legendary)john daly of galway who turns in a slightly faster, darker and a bit dubbier affair.

amazing deep house remix ep with fantastic mixes by james priestley & dan berkson, wahoo (dj dixon), charles webster, and uprising shahrokh sound of k ...

after their first single, guns ‘,n’, bombs are back on the dancefloor with riddle of steel! a new techno classic from usa forefront producers, para one brings it back to french house. unpretentious and unforgivingly badass, l.a.s guns n bombs (including an ima robot member) put the united states outside new york back on my techno map, blow current german electro standards out of the water and give paris’,s new french touch a run for its money. on the dancefloor, this enormous riddle of steel becomes huge! a dark and relantless new track with discreet mainstream sounding excursions that make this take no prisoner techno roller. para one worked more on the entertaining vibe, balancing out the rougher edged electro techno tendencies with welcome moments of daft punk esque levity.
