two dazzling, out-there contributions from the inimitable actress: an immersive, slashing thumper, ecstatic and convulsive, multi-layered and head-nodding, just about getting mars on the radio, and a kind of unhinged marimba and thumb-piano variation, grubbing around manically in half-memories of african polyrhythm

since we met ark in spain a while ago. after being around since 1997, we were curious what he would do for a small label like klamauk. well, we are happy that we ve got one we really love for its moods. his track >fat runner< is a deep growing house track with arks typical kind of breaks, getting faster and faster, ending in a true dance monster. welcome to the klamauk family

nach ausverkaufter ersten single tanzen und dem hoch gelobten album experiment musik setzen wir noch einen drauf, indem wir einen der beliebtesten tracks des albums prophetic dreams von zwei meistern ihres faches neu interpretieren lassen haben. prophectic dreams ist ein bartsch track wie er im buche steht. langsam bauen sich aus einer etwas dreckigen und rauchigen atmosphäre verschiedene melodien auf, die immer mehr zu einander finden und mit peitschenden claps zu einem pumpenden dancetrack werden. dabei verleihen spielerisch abwechselnde sounds und housige percussion dem ganzen weitere dynamic. classic. das berliner durchstarter-duo aka aka bringen mit ihrem remix den nötigen kick für den ravenden dancefloor, indem sie die melodie des orginals aufgreifen, in einer klasssischen sägezahnbasslinie und dazu passenden phatten synthlinie umwandeln, die sich immer weiter steigern bis sie in einem stummen break enden, aus dem sie wieder emporsteigen und die crowd zum schreien bringen. ein erprobtes oberbrett, dessen klaren powersound sich niemand wiedersetzen kann. auf der flipside entfaltet unser aller liebling axel boman all seine kreativität und dreht das original in einem 13 minütigen megamix komplett durch den wolf. alle elemente erscheinen an anderer stelle und werden durch neue sounds ergänzt. so entseht ein dubbiges außergewöhnliches ergreifendes werk, welches nur künstler seiner art so hinbekommen.

being a musical vagabond involves quite some illustrious stories and quite some adventures. four of those are captured on this exciting record. in his housey remix of >b1000<, andre kronert tells about an acoustic sunrise. based on driving sub-basses, he piles up layers of harmonic pad sounds and light melodies. the minimal plot of the original version by kollektiv ost roams twilight sceneries and explores single sounds and effects. schaeufler & zovsky give insight into a both relaxed and go-getting attitude towards life. their contribution >leafs< combines dreamy melodies with very lively and functional rhythms. in his own version of this acoustic tale, mollono.bass concentrates on a catchy groove and creates a very inspiring, deep and perfidious hypnotic atmosphere.

the latest instalment in the ever-evolving tale of circus company comes from a partnership that has already borne plenty of tightly honed dancefloor fruit, although never before for our merry band of performers and freaks. marc schneiders service to european house music runs deep. as well as steering the course of the mega-distributor wordandsound, marc has been steadily appearing on releases and remixes for new kanada, metamorphic, einmaliens and many more over the years. however marcs studio collaborations with ralf schmidt are fast becoming his most celebrated output. ralfs aera project is already being loudly championed by the most critical tastemakers in the business, including glowing praise from resident advisor and fact magazine for his unique and impeccably crafted tracks on his own aleph music label. after a string of successful remixes, the pair consummate their shared passion with this strong, focused three-tracker that makes a space for itself in the club-ready end of the circus company record bag. what on the surface may seem like straight-up dj friendly cuts soon reveal their hidden depths. whispers of techno melodies and textures hum away under the surface, while those with keen ears will pick up the sneaky tributes to uk rave culture that aera is known for sprinkling over his tracks. primarily though, these tracks gracefully tread the line between functionality and flair, leaving you with another glorious selection of imaginative house music with that inimitable circus co. stamp on it.

mowar has reached its 10th release! this release heads into a darker direction with four solid and mental techno movers. searle is a new name to join the mowar ranks, but his sounds are pure, raw with a pinch of dark ambience. the record opens with the title track mind transfer, which brings a raw oldskool 808 feel layered with hypnotic basic channel-like chords and a subtle but most effective acid line. modern love s claro intellecto on remix duty turns the track into a slow moving warehouse monster, throbbing its way to a drugged chicago-esque jacking feel yet retaining the original darkness of mind transfer. on the flipside succubus lives up to its ominous title. this track is a dark hypnotic affair with fierce kickdrums piercing through an obscure sound palette of eerie pads and deep basses. razor sharp modulated noise then invades the whole thing turning the track into a punishing dark workout. finally unauthorized brings a more edgy and experimental sound to the whole, starting of with a dubby bassline and graveyard shift pads, but once the piercing hi-hats kick in, the track shifts to straightforward almost cristian vogel-like mental techno. by the way… searle is a new moniker of mowar frontman franco cangelli.

there is hardly any other track so closely connected to sven väths twelfth ibiza season, like adonis by alex ridha aka boys noize. with his fusion of energy disco with massive percussions and chicago memories, adonis fitted just perfectly to the intensive late summer we had. but theres still more to come, and so cocoon recordings are offering no less than five congenial versions: on the vinyl edition we find, besides the original version, the first remix of stone breaker mark e, dj and producer from birmingham who recently had the honour to do an album on the well-respected us label spectral sound. he skilfully transfers adonis into a hypnotic house opus with a recognisable detroit pinch.

marcus meinhardts new record is there and with it a hole rig of remixes. checkpot has become a typical meinhardt that twirls with a cool funkyness and mysterious melodies through the dancers brain. the producer and dj okain which is known especially through his releases on tsuba rec. is taking the theme by the fuze and is relighting the dancefloor with his bass accelerator. our upon you approved colleague pele also likes to play with fire and got together with the artist findling for his remix. they turn the wind towards the morning and let the flames turn into a trip-dub direction. similar does the upon you artist echonomist who stears the digital bonus track with a heating value of glowing soundscapes as usual.

whomadewho, notoriously named after 1986s album by ac/dc, have always been hard to pin down, with their music sounding as effortless as it is stylistically and sonically adventurous. fusing pop and disco memes with punk paraphernalia, the genre-bending trio made up of jeppe kjellberg, tomas høffding and tomas barfod honed their skills on stage and in the studio, releasing a series of bestselling records topped off by their 2011 mini album >knee deep< on kompakt. now they return with the sublime full length >brighter<, due in early 2012 and shaping up to be one of next years highlights. its first single >inside world< is prime stuff as expected…jeppe kjellbergs characteristic vocal hit the pop-nerve in the verses while tomas høffdings soft falsetto holds the song together. second to none is the exclusive flipside, which features a grandiose acoustic version of >inside world< graced by the warm baritone from john grant, former lead vocalist with indie outfit >the czars< and critically acclaimed solo artist. clearly sharing his pivotal vision of pure craftsmanship and musical ingenuity, whomadewho never settled for streamlined mediocrity, thus churning out another instant classic that will rule our hearts and minds.

from the estrela archives of exactly that period comes the original, which was crafted by portuguese calapez at the time, as well as the newly edited pyjamas remix. calapez builds the theme monkeymonkey on top of a playful piano roll and swinging beats – simple and pure. with a wink the pyjamas remix carries that approach and the minimalist melody on, while adding a nice portion of acid. but the absolute highlight of this release, as already alluded in the incoming quote is definitively the more than cutting edge house remix of sacco vanzetti duo. funk, power, tempo and lightness: its got the ground formula to spin itself into the perpetual hunting grounds of the absolute house purist.

for our third instalment on mars recordings weve decided to go for transparent green vinyl! this has nothing to do with aliens, we wouldnt be that obvious, but its the colour chosen by the artists and we think it looks like another great mars package. musically, well edward oberon & paul t have conjured up 2 awesome tracks. >love is< is absolutely sublime with its warm bass line and delicate sounds to the breakdown, while keeping the drums nice and punchy, a great tune to roll out. >absolute< harks back to the deep sounds of old good looking by the likes of big bud or tayla. ridiculous sub-lo bass and deep strings, this is how mars do things and we feel its another quality 12 inch where the music & the packaging matter.

the opening hits of the percussion stay smooth and relaxed, and the instruments come in one-by-one – first the synth, then the strings, then the brass – to create an experience thats both engaging and relaxing. this is the sort of music i would listen to if i cruised the streets of san francisco in the evenings. as >back to the bay< wraps up and pulls us into his remix of >screw up<, we get a dose of subscapes intensity, but its quickly pulled back into matty gs signature low-bass, hip-hop/dubstep fusion beats. >jam like a tek< adds in some vocal hooks to get the crowd chanting – and you are missing out if you dont add this into your mix. deep kick drums, a snappy snare, big distortion on the scratchy bass wobbles, and the vocals all come together perfectly to create a track thatll get people grinding like mad on the dancefloor.

2nd psycho album extraction – this time with big remixes from florian meindl (flash recordings) and aka aka (burlesque musique, stil vor talent).

the first of the remixes sees label boss edu imbernon pay tribute to his summer on the white isle with his villaimberlove remix. a weighty kick drum, spritely key melody and fiercely plucked strings make for a more driving version of the original.
more upfront still, is the rework from uk house don steve mac. having spent enough time of his own in ibiza this summer and celebrated the release of his artist album >roots<, steve looks to inject a large dose of pace and tech-muscle, whilst bathing us in aggressive and effective synths.

limited remastered reissue of the hugely in demand 12 inch release of pedestrians super phat slice of balearic grooviness >commuter fantasy<. massive on the cosmic scene after being championed by djs daniel baldelli and beppe loda, this record is extremely hard to get hold of in the original and commands super-high prices in internet auctions. despite being created by successful uk pop production duo swain and jolley, this only ever came out as a limited 12 inch in canada never getting a us or uk release but its italo-esque slow-building dreamily insistent sound has secured it a dedicated following amongst discerning disco and balearic lovers since.

this 4-track ep is the first official release from new jerseys mikeq, one of the unquestioned leaders of the current vogue-house scene, and follows in the wake of a slew of self-released tunes he has dropped over the past few years. let it all out is also the second record on kingdoms fade to mind imprint, which has already received mountains of praise despite its short discography. largely built upon raw, upfront drum sounds, recycled snippets of hip-hop and r&b, and, most importantly, the ever-present >ha< (itself a repurposed masters at work sample), vogue house seemingly offered the sort of sound that tastemaking and blog-reading djs would snap up with aplomb. hell, even diplo championed the ballroom scene. yet, for whatever reason, the expected vogue-house explosion hasnt really happened. while a handful of non-ballroom producers and djs (most coming from the world of bass music) have experimented with the genre, the music essentially continues to hum along in the underground.
