another well produced reeko ep on planet rhythm. this is dark angry techno music that should be played only at loud volume. the title track >bad connection< is a raw nervous track on a somewhat slower pace that will definitely get people dancing. especially for all those raves that last until 7 in the morning this is one for the peak hours. >look at me< is a jumpy non 4/4 techno rhythm with cool effects and chords, the rising synth at the end of each loop is a nice look. >in a different world< and >restart< are both tracks that fit perfectly in this new prruk record. good producers know how to build an ep in a way that it feels like chronological soundtrack. reeko knows exactly how to do this.

four obscure italo, funk and electronic tracks directly from the marcellos 7 inch collection. zombi and in the land of zombi are two killer dub disco tracks released in the south of italy in 1979. enigma are from germany, but released on the super disco italian label out, the track sounds like a space soundtrack with arpeggios and chorus from the grave. why o is a 100% italian afro disco track produced by the maestro paolo ormi.

living it out – perhaps the most unabashedly danceable song on janine planningtorock rostrons dfa debut album w – comes on (that is to say, seduces) in just the right ways. the song is all addictive disco, with synthesized string skitterings and rostrons voice purring out (she sounds like a futuristic eartha kitt here) a perfect melody that somehow gets even better at the chorus. its pure pleasure upsurge from beat-driven start to pizzicatto end, the kind of song that lets you know that, amidst rostrons many musical idiosyncracies, included is the ability to write a song that simply drags you out onto the dancefloor.

nang powerhouse sare havlicek bursts back into the synth-scape once more with the first track from his second nang album. sare is a firm favourite here in nang towers and the mercurial, slovenian dynamo has hardly stopped for breath since his last releases on nang (a well deserved new masters comp, a co-mix credit on beach disco and also as part of the transatlantic disco alliance ep). to remix vibe on you nang have called in the talents of fellow adriatic funkster ilija rudman, who places his seal-of-authority on the sonics and gets brassed up. uk based head of bear funk stevie kotey pairs up with this lightning-fingered-keyboard neighbour manestar to create a cool cross between haddaway & ten city. sare contributes an instrumental and a slowed down, pitch-bent, 115 bpm version. his slyly retiled nothing you can do version jumps forward 4 years to 1985, sounding like a long lost stock-aitken and waterman extended 12 dance cut. stay tuned for sare album number 2 later in the year. weve heard it.. its a goodie.

dutch dj and producer drops this killer house single on australias deepermotions music. this 12 inch features remixes by rick wade and steve ward alongside the excellent original mix and the cut > so what<. deep and melodic and catchy as hell. dont sleep on this! highly recommended.

spanish edit maestro rayko wields the blade on two red hot pieces of disco action on this his debut release on autodiscotheque. definitely more ron than larry. rayko extends, blends, cuts and chops the eqs to produce two essential reworks for the dance floor. highly limited and in demo only vinyl format, these are strictly for use in discotheques.

mr. mageeka makes a welcome return in the wake of >different lekstrix<, the mutated funky banger that caused straight up mayhem on many dancefloors the world over, upon its release via numbers last year. the much-anticipated follow up, penned for release on phuture shock musik, comes in the shape of >vintage malarkey<, which sees the east-londoner offer further next level shenanigans. employing a similar formula as its predecessor, this one is stripped down and quintessentially hypnotic - instantly luring you in with a looped god made me funky - esque groove, over a brisk swinging rythm, whilst occasionally throwing you off-guard through the introduction of angular synths and offbeat claps, as well as an inspired collage of samples that maintains the quirky nature of the production throughout. the single comes backed with >de congo<, a funky conga-laden number, that is enhanced by an addictive fusion of west african guitar licks, kalimba stabs and frisky percussion, though the real icing on the cake being its meandering trumpet hook, altogether coming off like a live high-life jam. early support from the likes of rinse fms scratcha and marcus nasty.

if ever there were more committed and fervent neighbours within the house and disco community today, then house of disco records would be flying the flag loud and high in the front garden for all to see.

after the success of their debut 12inch – the visions ep featuring james johnston, yse, tone control and basic soul unit – with support coming from the full house spectrum (including alex agore, brawther, danny tenaglia, deetron, ethyl, groove armada, red rackem and many more), its only natural city fly follow up their 1st release with a new ep to further showcase the deeper house sounds synonymous with their ethos. wanting to expand their vision yet stay true to their roots, for their 2nd release city fly are proud to present the ‘csa ep’ by creative swing alliance aka pablo valentino & steven wobblejay. not content in running faces records – featuring releases from simbad and danilo plessows motor city drum ensemble/inverse cinematics aliases – and releasing 12s under his creative swing alliance, kid swing and hipster wonkaz pseudonyms, pablo also co-runs the already iconic and buy-on-sight mcde imprint with danilo plessow and is an influential component in the label gaining notoriety and cult status with its raw cuts series – ubiquitous in many a djs set regardless of genre. steven has released records on compost records, soultronik & jazzmin under his moniker steppah huntah and played double bass for the japanese jazz band sleepwalker.

next up on murmur sees the addition of a new artist onto our roster of talent. london based hamids debut features the vocal talents of valentina, her sultry vocals laid over an intoxicating deep house ride, perfect for those after hours vibes. up & coming talent jay shepheard provides the first remix. fresh from his latest excursion on this own retrofit label, jay firms up the beats & percussion, adding a catchy b line and twinkling synth work into proceeding. finally, inxec & andrei osyka up the stakes, taking the core elements of hamids original and taking them to new euphoric heights with an altogether more epic vibe.

though classically trained, arthur russells major contributions to the music world is in the dance genre. despite the fact that his pioneering work in the late 70s and on through the 80s was only quietly acknowledged at the time, his long-term impact is best described as formidable. russell died in 1992, but his art lives on and his influence is still felt in the world of dance music and beyond. his innovative, leftfield dance records flew way ahead of what people were used to hearing at the time, due in part to his involvement in new yorks downtown avant-garde music scene.

mike parker is back with a new addition to his unique geophone label. gph17 contains 4 tracks that will burn up rooms with sizzling analogue frequencies, thundering bass, cavernous echos and shredding rhythms. its the organic sound that mike has become known for… an uncompromising tour de force of face-melting techno.

its a love story: stil vor talent have long been mad about niconé and sascha braemer so that the recent past has seen some very memorable releases by the two producers. now its about time they join forces to release a whole album together, of which the first set of two vinyl packages is taken. known for their often very musical techno and house productions, >romantic thrills part 1< encapsulates this style while adding an extra element of sex and pop appeal, without straying too far from the dancefloor. >pianotic<, >runaway< and >caje< are three prime examples of how to incorporate piano, trumpet or guitar melodies organically into electronic music without sounding artificial

one of the most promising artists that has come out of amsterdam over the years, david labeij, has recently had more time to focus on his solo career now that polder, his live act with lauhaus, is an established and high quality techno outfit, with an album on shinedoes intacto imprint and many singles to their and his name. where the infamous polder groove is aimed at blowing up dancefloors, labeijs solo tracks are more on the hypnotic side of techno and house, as each track on this release demonstrates, as well as plenty of bouncing and playful basslines. labeijs sets - live and dj - are notorious for their mesmerizing qualities, and he is rapidly gaining international grounds with his distinct and captivating take on dance music, so we hope you enjoy this release
