the creative combo doppelgaenger, pitchbar records latest offspring, are hitting the club scene with their vinyl debut >lumberjack<.
in the track >flavoured funk<, doppelgaenger live out their hard-edged, pushing, deep side. the slightly trancy elements are joined by a hard kick drum and somewhat deep vocals contributing to the tracks dark and driving atmosphere. this track represents a homage to the thick tree trunk that drives itself firmly into the earth, covered by a resilient bark and crowned by its old cracking branches.
the second track, >i feel good now<, mirrors the trees lush foliage. somewhat lighter around the treetop, there is nonetheless a solid body below, which can be played into wide space. >i feel good now< gives us the lightness to leap from branch to branch and up into the crown that protrudes into a dark night time sky.

so you didnt get that last firecracker that came in an incredible sleeve and was limited to 45 copies? well now you and the other 99% of humanity can at least own the music contained within it with this regular re-release, and to be honest although the sleeve isnt hand-weaved by a peruvian tribe centuries known for their mastery of textile craft, the one yer getting here is pretty goddamn sweet. bringing together calypso rhythms and bernie worrell-does-acid lines, fudge fingas >untytled< is an exemplary example of why everyone is in admiration of the geezer, and that is because he can actually make actual music, with compositions and melody and all that. excuse the lofty jargon. linkwood bring equal heat in the form of >secret value<, but guess what? fudge fingas has gone and blessed it with the refreshing audio equivalent of yer girlfriends mint & tea tree shower gel, adding liquid bass and lush keys. the fingas finishes off the e.p with one of his most interesting tracks to date >minus 616<, a dense, immersive piano piece that proves that getting this e.p out to a wider audience was just simply a righteous and necessary move. take that skinny tie off, wrap it round yer arm and mainline that uncut funk, baby.

>ein privateer, also ein freibeuter, das bin ich, wenn mans mal genau nimmt<, sagt mark knopfler und bezieht sich mit dieser überraschenden sse gibts nicht, wenn du diese art von musik machst

its been nearly four years since marc romboys last appearance on ovum, alongside tyree cooper on the mighty lost. today sees a return for the german as he teams up with another of the labels new breed, kink. bulgarian strahil velchev makes a return to ovum for the first time since his 2010 rachel ep shot him onto the scene. the success of that release and his array of productions since, have lead to kink becoming one of the most in demand producers of today. equally in demand is mr romboy, with 2011 being yet another year of success. his and stephan bodzins luna album kicked off the year in style and saw the pair embark on a huge global tour. singles and remixes for tronic, bedrock and 8bit have followed as well as productions with blake baxter and paris the black fu. marc has also surprised many, with his superb current house rework of terrence parker. the sampletastics vol. 1 ep sees the pair turn in three choice cuts of, as the name suggests, sample-lead house. a perfect selection of tools for the most discerning of djs. take your pick!

2001 jazz-fusion album by ian o brian (memory tree, the beauty room).

hey is helmut erler, one half of hey-Ø-hansen, the fabulous austro-dub band from berlin that already did three releases for pingipung. in >wuzlguzl< he presents a childrens song from austria. in his original dialect he sings about the five fingers on the hand and what they have to do with the plums on the tree! the flip turns the song into a psychedelic lullaby.

the 12-inch sampler for >panorama bar 03< could have hardly been better. hitherto unreleased, the tree tracks on ostgut ton 47 tick all the boxes that make prosumer such a unique dj: house in its various identities. soundstore starts the triptych with >take u<. greatness and frantic fever visions go hand in hand while hitting the core of chicagos second wave: dance mania, cajual, and relief with siren-like hooks in a feverish delirium. irresistible. prosumers panorama bar fellow steffi slows down the pace. >sadness< that surprisingly did not make it on her album debut is not only the opener of the actual panorama bar mix, but also a tribute to that kind of deep house that doesnt take its prefix lightly. in the end, berlins hunee teaches you a freestyle lesson. in a similar way to the young pal joey, he feeds his sampler a well-known dish, but throws in peculiarity, rascality and deviation to get new results. after all the time, this music is still not getting a bit long in the tooth. lets take a love break.

for their new release, >with our heads in the clouds and our hearts in the fields<, these two have somehow gone back in time to capture the sound of glacial moving, dark cough syrup pop music. mr. wiltzie has manipulated his trademark stars of the lid sound of haunting ambience, deconstructing, and funneling it through the beautiful voice, and song compositions of chantal acda. together, sleepingdog have gently abducted these gaseous tones, and choruses of pacific tree frogs into some beautifully crafted melancholic orchestration that reminds us all that we exist in a world of strangers, drifting only two feet apart. >with our heads in the clouds and our hearts in the fields< is sleepingdogs third album after >naked in a clean bed< (zeal - 2006) and the critically acclaimed >polar life< (gizeh/zeal - 2008).
comes on clear / translucent vinyl, including code for free digital download.

>now about how< is an album that fuses diverse styles, tipping its cap to a world of sounds absorbed over the course of a lifetime. it is the sound of fudges childhood spent learning from his record loving family about the many wonders of 20th century recorded music, filtered through the classic house and techno template which was the soundtrack to his formative years. fudge fingas is a man very much immersed in his music. as well as producing he manages edinburghs best dance music record shop >underground solu shn< whilst also lending his musicianship to tracks by other artists on prime numbers such as linkwood & trus me.

after ellen alliens album >dust< kicked up a lot of the same in 2010, it was only a matter of time until the right remixers for the album were found. no less than the creme de la creme of today s house scene was allowed to have their way with these tracks. and the results are more than fitting. although we have already burned a full-length cd containing all of the remixes they created, we are not planning on leaving the vinyl-loving faction (or whats left of them) out in the cold either. this 12 inch features three powerful club tracks from three outstanding remixers. each unrivalled in their own space.

sampler from the inner love cd. tree of life is a deep, lush afro house track done with bradford james featuring both male and female vocals, untitled universe is a ultra funky house cut done with label owner ron trent, mind channel is done with jay tripwire, and my love chase rounds things out.

on constants new album, if tomorrow the war, these shoegazers turned indie-metal pioneers have further evolved their already genre-bending style and truly come into their own.

finest quality deep floating dub techno to deep techhouse. featuring brothers vibe.. tip

with her new album, dust, ellen removes the sense of remoteness entirely. a warm immediacy takes centre stage in place of distanced artistic abstraction. as such, what is perhaps ellens most personal album takes the form of a complete spectrum of her creative output to date, a cross-section in time which also looks ahead to previously untrodden paths... the world according to ellen!

groove charts # 3 !!! >sex ×technology = the future< ( jg ballard) wires are the arteries of the modern world, connecting and supplying practically everything that defines our lives. we channel our desires like an electrical current through our machines. musically, the concept is about drawing together the different strands, from techno and minimal to house to ambient and experimental. there is a common thread that runs through these different genres, linking them like the roots of a tree. this diversity is what keeps everything fresh for me. the >raudive< project explores techno and minimal, further releases will feature >atlas<, a new project created by myself and co-producer tommy gillard which moves into more detroit house territory. later there will be music from >zov zov< music that references pan sonic, coil and sunno))).

going home late one foggy night in london, i turn the corner to see my bus waiting at the bus stop, lights on, doors open, completely empty. i get on the bus and wait, a few minutes later the driver gets on, he was hiding behind a tree. now i always call it the ghostbus. stopping and starting, traveling along are the landscapes of sound recordings, perfectly balanced between synthetic and abstract layers of sounds. ghostbus invites you to travel along an electronic road of pulses and distortion, a travel between vintage and modern atmospheres, shifting into automatic vintage synthesis gears, a journey into the dark and cold nights of london. samp gives this music his trademark ambience in confined spaces sound, helped along by nax_acid both in collaboration and with his own edit version

one of the most in demand tracks from the >technique< album finally gets a full single release complete with re-fixes from prosumer and kruse & nuernberg. ernestos vocal fully lends itself to the prosumer soundsignature, his mix floats and weaves around ernestos vocal, peaking around his own chords before stripping things back to bare essentials and rebuilding like only he can. the kruse& nuernberg mix is hypnotic, percussive old school house music at its best. they take a small snippet of the vocal and build the groove relentlessly until the whole room is shaking. achim brandenburg aka prosumer lives in berlin where he is resident at panorama bar, weaving together the finest blend of soulful house sounds. an expert in classic chicago house and detroit techno, his first release was in 2004 on 240 volts, followed by playhouse and ostgut, where he released his debut album with murat tepeli in 2008. separately, hamburg based florian kruse & nils nûrnberg have created some of the most interesting deep house around in the past few years, with early highlights incl nils >caught a glimpse< on 8bit, and florians >love hurts< release on om records. since then, as solo producers, but more importantly together as kruse & nûrnberg they have climbed closer to the tree-top with their unique brand of mouth-watering underground house.

toller techhouse von boy bianchi der genau den schmalen grad zwischen deep und forward trifft !!

with their debut album the new yorker duo silver summit send the hearer on a 10 song enclosing psychedelic trip.

the one early 90s rap track the unified granola munching, tree-hugging rurals with the usual, rather metropolitan, grim hip-hop cientele gets boosted for today s house floor by germanys shinning knights of funk-filled house. yet instead of just putting a slamming beat underneath the accapella, they fire-up the crowd with a looped bluesy guitar lick and sweet background vocal part that is rather hidden in the original version - combined with a skipping, percussive beat this is a smasher

alessio mereu is back on his own renovatio imprint with a rolling and phat release that really smash the dancefloor with all the tree versions in different moods. featuring remixes from kyle geiger and matteo spedicati this release can only as described with one word...pure energy!!! the original goes percussive with lots of detuned screaming synths, kyle geiger take it to a cyclic and brute level, and matteo spedicati goes on the happy side
