support by gregor tresher, mathias kaden, reboot, vera, d julz, raresh, federico molinari, dorian paic… moon harbour stays international with their 40th release. this time with the focus on the vibrant french club scene. alexis bernard aka seuil has already been releasing a bunch of groundbreaking eps on labels like minibar, einmaleins or freak n chic since 2006. this year he founded his own label called eklo with such hi-class acts as lauhaus and miss fitz. for his first ep on moon harbour recordings he presents 3 top notch house tracks with profound melodies and cleverly layered rhythms. >double room< consists of subtle sounds and a very likable vocal sample - driving with a high dose of funk! >she percs me< on the flipside is a bit more straight. percussive rhythms and playful licks perfectly display seuils musically advanced ideas. last but not least and a bit more on the relaxed side we have >no time for love<. a shy piano works its way through the track and makes it a perfect tune for some real late night magic.

support by dj disciple - mixes by: hardsoul, samir maslo & tucillo** the hardsoul brothers and the extremely talented michael canitrot have just hit astralmusic. as always, the only way is up and thats exactly what the track is doing at this very moment: climbing the charts! this release consist of a smashing remix package, courtesy of samir maslo, tucillo and of course a proper hardsoul reconstruction

made to play brings the noise with the sounds of wearhouse music and head honcho lee mortimer. lee mortimers exciting, sleazy, demented take on house has been kicking the sh*t out of dance floors and festivals the world over. this e.p is not for the faint hearted but is for those who like to rock a big crowd in a ballistic way. when jimi hendrix played not just one but both sides of it at woodstock in the 70s the place went off its tits and when he reverted back to playing the guitar it just couldnt compare and he never quite got over that. lee mortimer is currently reveling in mass support from the likes of switch, claude vonstroke, diplo and kriss akabusi who apparently likes to play these tracks as a post love ritual, naked and chanting awooga! round the camp fire he has in his bedroom. if you want to embellish the feeling of either hendrix or akabusi in the primes of their existences then get stuck into this release and youll feel like a combination of the two peaking on acid.

4 tracks that fit perfectly in the keno records context. all dancefloor oriented but way more recognizable than the usual club tools. jaxson is back with a collaboration with his friend sven brede who is known from his productions on highgrade records. torunga is one hypnotic, detroidish track that will be working during prime time and afterhours. the young andre traenkner from dresden presents a very special house-tango. with his warm and groovy sound he fits perfectly in the keno records context. hello from erich lesovsky is a positive and energetic house track with an incredible synthline. marcus sur shows his love for classic house music and minimal techno in the track white elephant and we love him for that. tracklist: a1: jaxson & brede - torunga (8:15), a2: andre traenkner - progress (8:12), b1: erich lesovsky - hello (7:31), b2: marcus sur - white elephant (6:08)

beretta grey presents the second record by detroit duo >reference< a.k.a. luke hess & brian kage.. >reference vs. vol 1<, consists of collaboration with other key beretta grey artists ryan crosson and seth troxler. each song was carefully developed by all artists simultaneously. sessions were held at interstellar studios in detroit with all artists present. the initial musical concepts were recorded and written. next, the songs were sent back and forth until the finished product was agreed upon by all parties. in this fashion, the music created provides the character and soul of each artist, but fused together in a way that creates a more detailed account. one perspective alone does not capture the whole story. in this release, a feeling is captured by four artists, giving the listener a bigger picture, which helps to better capture the concepts of sound as it relates to a moment in time

new sub label from membrane recordings, blues + acid! in a human world, even the machines get the blues. discarded debris turning backs on the dusty strewn mess of cables and circuits in the corners time passes with calloused wind. random ghosts from the mississippi delta to chicago seem to find their way into the dusty boxes. a temporary home to let loose and vent.

limited to 500 copies worldwide, eminor#16 is a shure shot! its well-done mixture of a nasty vocal with twinkle-toed basslines, scatterbrain will certainly hit crowds by surprise. on the other side, knurrhahn - composed with labelowner wahrlich - is a functional and repetitive pusher. with this record, carbon from hamburg makes clear which way the wind blows and where his musical development is leading to

ah, its time for some eerie minimal techno again. dry, percussive, hypnotic, trippy. when sunday turns into monday and the week starts exactly like the last one ended – on the dancefloor, propelled by a thumping bassdrum. dima is a bar 25 regular and has released on beatsreet (another berlin institution of endless afterhour journeys) before. this one is his bar 25 debut, tried and tested on various occasions and legendary sasomo moments. his four tracks dive deep into a nocturnal techno habitat, where percussion- sounds fade away in the twilight and the groove just won’t stop. there is no way out, just give in to its pleasures

the messalina imprint brings you first in a series of great new balearic disco edits. kicking off with sky way, which sees westway by 70s prog rockers sky, transformed from a three minute lp cut into a pulsating eight minute dub disco groover complete with awesome guitar work. on the flip you get disco drum kids, a brilliant re edit of cats n jammers kids mega rare disco drum pts 1 & 5 with both parts sped up and remoulded into a percussion heavy low slung cosmic rocker. followed by jack cud les, a great extended dancefloor friendly edit of michael chapmans in demand lescudjack. a great package

support by:andre galluzzi, gregor tresher, sebastien leger, oliver koletzki, nick warren, terry lee brown junior, roberto rodriguez , anderson noise, hernan cattaneo, robert babicz aka rob acid is back on circle music. the last strike from robert on circle music was the great and lyrical remix of dan corcos >new world<. he also convinced with his atmospherical work on way out wests >spaceman< on hope recordings and ruled on sytematic with the big album release >a cheerful temper<. robert, who is one of germanys very early techno and electro heroes, appeared on the last cricle music compilation with the unique >invasion< and will alo appear on the next circle compilation >the mechanic sound of nature<. for this it is only logical for the co-founder of shortcut records to release his latest two dancefloor sensations on circle.

moody moon e.p ( spagh records) spagh records is an electronic music label which concentrates its energy on techno, house and electro. created in 2005, spagh records wants to follow the way of authenticity and eclectism. after being well received by the public, the first e.p “dozen lives” was notably playlisted by artists such as dave clarke, laurent garnier, dj 3000 and james penninghton. the label spagh records is now releasing its second ep. in this second publication, the label shows another facet of their style angling towards deep techno. the ep, aptly titled “moody moon” and produced by hip-j, is a surprising and bewitching creation that draws the listener in for an aural expedition with every play, plunging to the heart of techno, weird and hazy, as melodic as it is stirring. his latest e.p has already received good feedbacks and is now being played by dj chloé (kill the dj) and toni vokado (electric avenue, kodiara records).

rough to the touch, the jt3s latest will sink into your souls, purifying them by breathing in the bad and exhaling out the good. js songs use blues and r n b templates, executed with sweaty, wide eyed energy - and this time, hes added a couple of colours to his rainbow that are blowing our minds, those of dub reggae and ska, which squeeze next to their northern brethren with excellent tightness. you ll be left breathless after a nonet of new songs, all of which address the modern dilemma of identity and faith. vinyl only release - as befits the classic rock and soul sounds.

muzik mix tape winner alison marks has come a long way, outlasting the magazine that initially brought her to prominence. john tejada is one of her many admirers and no doubt, this ep will win her many more. very cool headphone house that translates perfectly to the deeper floors around 3 a.m. as well as a great soundtrack to the all back to mine sessions- a deep and meaningful tech lesson.

under the radar ep big with: carl cox, funk dvoid, jamie jones, luca bachetti, slam, nick curly, paolo mojo, kiki, dario zenker, trickski, geddes, chris carrier, jeff samuel, davide squillace, lee burridge, luke solomon, thomas schumacher, solomun, chloe, shinedoe, nic fianculli amelie is the newly born production outfit sophie oliver & claudia lovisa, already a highly acclaimed duo on the dj circuit. their names have been on everyones lips this year for the dynamic and stylish way in which they bring adancefloor to its knees. on this their first ep they team up with supernature founders audiofly for a two tracker that will certainly raise many heads in the techno and house scene. ‘move employs clever drum patterns with an insistent looped female vocal working the track into a groove that never lets the listener go. ‘generous for one has a similar smoothness in its production but in a more driving manner. the surprise in it comes in the way of some jazzy keys half way into the track that will uplift the crowd to another level. hot romanian starlets livio & roby get to work on ‘move with a very current interpretation. this amelie v audiofly ep is proof that claudia and sophie have the talent and charm to put them ahead of the game in very little time indeed.

one of the most charismatic rock n roll bands of all times with a storming 2008 return!!! be prepared for a worldwide live invasion...

support comes from steve bug, shinedoe, karotte, james flavour, gruber & nuernberg, paulo olarte !! highgrade goes east! with homm & popoviciu the berlin-gang grows in the eastern direction - to be specific: romania. their musical..output..of both wasn..t hard to spot, because markus homm and mihai popoviciu made a name for themselves for quite a while. no wonder that their output spreads across several..high-class..labels like dj hell..s international deejay gigolos, pascal feos.. non zero records, as well as the british immigrant and the spanish sub conce label. after their first strike - highgrade digital number 009, this is their first vinyl ep on highgrade. without any doubts they take the chance to demonstrate their most.. appreciated.. skills: on the the titletrack >urban ballroom< they send a massive..house-groove..to a trip, alongside with a swinging bassline, decent melodylines and some springy percussions, combining perfectly funkyness and deepness. >contact< and >wipp< on the flipside are convincing in the same versed way. the former slightly more dubby, the latter comes up with a little more speed. all in all forming an ep cast from the same mould, while the title >urban ballroom< says it all. homm & popoviciu are delivering a new housy shade for the labelsound, which suites highgrade perfectly

his this years 2nd album >heavy day< still heavily resonates in peoples ears, now that falko brocksieper already delivers an appropriate follow-up. on >fresh 727< brocksieper finds back to raw, sketchy arrangements, evolving their full energy just from deep, rolling basic grooves, as opposed to the close examination of each tiny sound and every dramaturgic peculiarity in the recent longplayers production. on the title track >fresh 727< noisy, maurizio-esque house chords encounter futuristic vocal messages, while edgy, classic drumbox-riffs rip up the dense atmosphere of the track again and again. a deep, marching groove and the freeminded combination of elements signalize special club moments from the very start. on the backside >request< turns out to be an equally organic, sizzling counterpart, which can promote its sustainable cheerfulness alone by its ongoing bouncy bassline, in a way that all accessory parts get dispensable - to the benefit of a well-balanced blend of rattling percussion, carved vocals and quirky atmo...s

played by : karotte (cocoon / great stuff), sebo k (mobilee), tobi neumann (cocoon)... jackmates strikes again on phil e with this 3 track 12inch called >malawi dub< and delivers the perfect follow-up for >mont blanc< (phile2007). the main title >malawi dub< is full of rollin drum and percussion sounds merging to a intense piece of (oldschool)-techno… both titles on the flip >in flux< and >s…..out< are deeper in a way, with charming harmonies and tricky grooves…this is a preview for jackmates upcoming album in 2009. thanks for purchasing a real copy!

dark experimental industrial hardcore tech

jona bechtolt makes his way over to dfa for three tracks, all of which find him tailoring his endearing electronic pop squiggles into a far more serious sounding james murphy-friendly setup, complete with robust live kit sounds, disco drum patterns and tough no-wave basslines. both ‘summer song’ and ‘i’m in love with a ripper’ sound like perfect dfa fodder, with their slouchy rhythms and slick organic styling

nice detroitish funky electro double lp

sender schlägt wieder zu mit zwei wahnsinningen remixen. einer vom argentinier barem und vom berliner matt john. hier ist maximale bewegungstherapie angesagt! still in der ecke sitzen geht gar nicht! also, los gehts leute. das sehen auch troy pierce, len faki, florian meindl, loco dice, glimpse & kiki so

panorama is loose disco funk of the rawest kind with flying cymbals and a live drum sound reminiscent of brooklyn's pioneering p&p productions, a bassline making the highest tower crumble, an abstract latin breakdown that rises the temperature level to almost unbearable before moody detroitish analogue sounds take you somewhere else

for those who thought these remixes would never see the light of day, here they are and let me tell you something : they re hot !! the a-side features swag s hot gloves remixed by bakazou (aka pete herbert). pete s on fire right now and he came up with an awesome italo-disco monster. it s like an apollo space ship: it gets higher and higher and when the original bassline is finally released people go crazy. tried and tested on discerning crowds – success is guaranteed! already licensed to ralph lawson s next fabric mixed cd ! the b-side is equally good, albeit in a different way . swag s hot shoe shuffle dub sounds like those fantastic hypnotic disco dub mixes straight outta 80s nyc. so put on your dancing shoes and get down to the boogie sound

this brand new and long awaited follow up 12-inch single release by off the record is finally here! its been quite a while since their first release >robot gang ep< (sen-003) came out and took the dancefloors by storm. all the wait has been well worth though, as this talented duo is back on track with their trademark rough & raw drum sounds, killer breaks and bridges. such elements can be found directly from the starting track >tel aviv – japan<, which combines nicely minimalist techno / house sound architexture with simple, yet effective groove, and it grows humble and slowly to reach up its peak moment what goes like: splash! in ya face! there you have it! guaranteed to lighten up any dancefloors, it s dangerously explosive and has amazing flavour on the rocks! having said that, on demand producer and remixer ran shani (crosstown rebels, breastfed, cr2 records) was kind enough to contribute his absolutely fabulous and fantastic remix work of >in your mind< track. he pushed the track to the next level and came up with a truly club oriented pulsating dance track with extra crispy and tasty beats. rotating 360 degrees panorama effect on female vocals coming in as the track rolls further right after the break is surely enough to explode some minds on the dancefloors. watch this man out! perfect end to an extended play here is the only track offering a mini lovestory: >shes lost her mind> is a true and cold hearted, crucial story about a tech savvy clubgirl falling in love in a binary world full of zeros and ones, finding computers and turin machines sexually more attractive companions to better have fun with rather than getting accustomed to that old fashioned missionary position carried out by her human boyfriend. floating, dubby and rather melancholic, but definitely not a sad song! but one thing is for sure regarding that twisted story after all: someone has truly lost her mind somewhere along the way …
