maurizio vitiello is now a regular artist in the metroline camp. his functional grooves have seen the light of day in various shapes and forms from the very early days all the way to the ultra-successful music on ep released in 2011.

our next ep is the first release from strangers in heaven, the new side-project from a duo of established producers who for now wish to remain nameless. both berlin-based, this pair have cooked up this new alter ego in order to release music with more upbeat, vocal heavy work, with more of an eye to pop sensibilities.

micatone come off with a true masterpiece of sophisticated pop with their new and fifth album >wish i was here< (released in march 2012). not only the music press and feuilletons but also old devoted and newly found fans agree: micatone never sounded better before. the second offspring off the album is a 2-tracker with two very special remixes. label mate stee downes takes on >sweet pain< as if it was his own track and kicks out a vivacious deep house stormer. there is no doubt that this remix will be in every bag of those djs that put some more emotions on the floor. the second remix was orderd in italy - in bologna to be exact. keemani and alex ferratti just started their new project blue mondays and now – with their rework of >just a boy< – promisingly launch their career to become the next in-demand remixers. they dont just lay a vocal track over a pre-programed beat, but use all of their devotion, accuracy and finesse to turn an already astonishing pop song into an anthem for everlasting nights. it is like preparing the perfect sugo: simmer exquisite ingedients for days until your mouth is watering. perfetto!

there is no place like home. that is exactly what dapayk & padberg had in mind after they released their new album at the beginning of the year. now they reveal their next ep on mo’s ferry. dont sleep lives up to its name. due to this pushing track everyone jumps remote-controlled on the dance floor and the idea of falling asleep has no chance to enter your head. plus, there’s a cherry on the cake: a remix by tiefschwarz.

after some silence on credo due to the fact that alex was pretty busy with productions and numerous remixes for other labels, he kills it totally now with this outstanding twotracker. theory of noise delivers two unique technotracks and especially noise b shakes it down in sets all over with its remarkable groovepattern und heavy as well as warm bass structure. this is the adequate follow up on the black series of the label after the outstanding and regurarly repressed >dark summer nights< that came out two years go. alex in top-shape, grab it!

the story begins somewhere far away from awareness and rational thought. our main characters plays the roles of lost but not aimless arrows of pictures. pictures made out of sub atomic movements, amplified through breathable air and finally fragmenting its energy into space. we see the the sun go down in the ocean, the purple and red colors and finally the majestic sight of whales plowing the water in the horizon. it has been many years, in fact, so many years that we are now back again to the same point time. it is like an infinite loop, never loosing pace and determination.

disclosure have made quite a stir with >the face< ep and we are now pleased to announce the remix ep. featuring re-works of >boiling< from dixon and medlar, and joe goddards huge take on >control<, backed with mak & pastemans take on >what s in your head<.

arttu returns on 4lux and he returns on form with two new cuts. summin bout drums is a dirty and sleazy house affair. the finnish producer now residing in berlin comes with two fat versions of his own while basic soul unit provides for a frantic remix with a crazy acid vibe. set you free is a bumping track with hard hitting drums cut up vocals and harsh synth elements. time to jack!

the new ep by pusherman, donuts, is out now on 12 inch vinyl, featuring remixes from naive machine & diamond bass!
while >donuts< is identifiably born of grime, uk funky, techno and house, pusherman’s use of funky synthlines, deep low end and chopped up vocal samples set them a cut above their peers.

a headlining act among the young and promising producers/djs of paris, john jastszebski, who previously studied cinema, now draws inspiration from cinematographic culture to create heavy house and techno sounds. formerly a fan of hip-hop, a pioneer genre to disk jockeys of all sorts, john jastszebski is now (and has been for the past ten years) mainly bound to all that is techno.

nice price deal !!! here comes a record that shouldnt have been released in the first place. who first started to circulate the cd-r with the blue inscription waiting for kim / we get high is totally unknown. the more known though, is who has been playing these two tracks, the one subtly uplifting, the other cranky dark, over the last few months. its still an unsolved riddle who is responsible for those two very divergent (but obviously coming from a single source productions. the fact that now these two tracks are coming out as a white label doesnt shed any more light on the affair either. but will please the dj and club world nonetheless.

they dont sound like anyone else. they work outside the boundaries of the possible. they are unique voices in what is becoming an increasingly dull conversation. and most importantly, they are funkier than an old piece of provolone in a hard working hookers panties. now play the f**king record and prepare to tremble.

kht 002 comes from affie yusuf, a longtime legendary producer from london, who has released tons of tracks solo and in groups on labels such as ferox, force inc and many more. meeting affie yusuf for the first time via internet was like meeting an old friend. a sympathy for the devil was our common sense and after hearing some of his unreleased music it was obvious we needed to get closer. for his first release on killekill he has sent us so many good tracks it was not easy for us to compile the first release. but here we go now with the >i m free ep<, a 12 inch full of house as we like it. raw as shit and full of fun, funk and energy!

the summer is bad as always in munich, but that is no reason to not have fun and spreading out the fire cuts. the 12 inch starts off with anisa, dedicated to marcos lady in mind and partner in wine. the eastern influences from his hood arent easy to ignore, and if u listen very carefully u can feel and smell the shisha dust inside the landwehr street.
