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 …

the unstoppable house team inland knights were asked for a remix of the track, and here it comes - the true gem with acidic baseline and nicely cut vocals. and finally there is the topping of dance out loud - the two remixes provided by the new house genius nacho marco (freerange, om, aroma, pacha, etc). always original, always sure of his production, always fresh - nachos vocal and dub remixes give this record the well deserved deep, techy and hypnotic edge!!

this is the third part of the boulevard cartier vinyl album. this is the third part of the boulevard cartier vinyl album. its massive supported by plenty of jocks like stephan bodzin, namito, john acquaviva, tiga, miss kittin, marc romboy, chloé, laurent garnier and danny howells to name here a few. watch out for the last part of this incredible and forwarding variety of sounds, from dark electro to minimal, with touches of italo disco, while keeping his electro house feel throughout.

shake into the groove with... 00sex everywhere in the world... here it is the groove slightly transform into these great deep vinyl tunes! respected by steve bug, gene ferris ...

the label boss returns to his own yore imprint with another stunning solo release. these are different times indeed for andy vaz if the eps three mighty jams are indicative of where his musics heading. the a-sides over here (a glance over prime time mix) roars from the very first moment vaz unleashes its steaming, latin-tinged groove. a far cry from the techno the yore label head once issued, the tune finds vaz exploring straight up dancefloor territory with a dizzying house pulse that straight up rocks. melodies and voices rise to the surface of the dionysian broil and then just as quickly recede, leaving room for a driving bass line to gain the spotlight. the flips hurry hurry (before its too late mix) is classic deep house just as one expects on yore. a jazz-inflected strut with tilman ehrhorns sax playing, wailing over waves of rollicking piano playing and spirited vocal chants. the energy level doesnt flag for the discs final track, bygone times (nostalgia mix), which stokes a fiery house swing with its locomotive pulse, futuristic synth patterning, and high-velocity bass lines. vazs music has never sounded more impassioned and energized than it does in these three tracks and consequently, just as one might predict, different times feels like its over far too soon

this japanese technopioneer has done some masterpieces last year on well respected labels such as audio assault and zwart. now its time to hit back with a stunning and pounding ep on the new label dynamic reflection. this kid is the headchef of mindcrushing synths, steady pounding beats and crispy percussionloops as the first track so clearly shows. the guys from radial put out an awesome remix on the a2! their rework leads you into the dark paths of techno, a true dancefloor killer! before checking the flipside you better insert your earplugs, cause here mr. hiyama comes up with an narly mind blowing stomper. he shows us how stuff like this is meant to be done and has no mercy on those eardrums. secondly there is another remix from the spanish wonderboy reeko, who takes you into the deep and dark dungeons of his spanish artgallery. with his heavy basslines and his extraordinary uplifting percussion loops he pushes himself to another level with this one! all n all a superior first release on this new and pure techno label, which perfectly reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come

jorge has been a central figure on the latin-american musical stage since the 80s-first as the co-founder of chiles beloved political rockers los prisioneros, then as a restlessly inventive solo musician and as one half of gonzálo martínez, the experimental electronic duo with dandy jack (martin schopf). now based in mexico city and working alongside loreto otero, jorge presents los updates, a new project combining electro-pop with an unusual approach to minimalist house and techno. designed both as a studio affair and a live performance, los updates expands its collaborative scope by reaching out to a crew of well-known chilean and european musicians who were central to the development of chilean techno in the mid 90s: ricardo villalobos, dandy jack, luciano and tobias freund, all of whom deliver defiantly original remixes across a series of 12-inch singles. tobias. fills the a-side with his remix of >pictures of you< simply one of the most dazzling things youll hear this year. tobias. recent string of work-singles for wagon repair and ostgut ton, as well as remixes for two armadillos and jim rivers-has shown him to be a master of the hypnotic groove, and here he entrances like never before, laying down a stark 808 drum pattern which he threads through dubby keys, analog explosions and liquid bass figures. on the b-side cadenzas luciano is getting late and brings his inimitable touch to the remix of >etting late<. luciano reworks the song into a lean, bleepy groove that marries the cool restraint of vintage dbx to lucianos own effusive style, buoyant and percussive and completely enveloping..

a fresh addition to the moodmusic roster but a longtime veteran in the house-scene, alexander maier aka dj all*star from stuttgart is well known from his earlier releases on buzzin fly, exun and criminal records. he began his career playing underground techno in south of germany but over the years became more and more influenced by detroit and chicago house. you can hear these influences on sahara in both the rain and river version. deep and reduced grooves with enough soul and atmosphere, yet fully functional for the floor, sahara rain kicks in with a heavy bass sequence building a perfect platform to be followed by the synththeme which hit s the peak hour perfectly. i see some hands going up here already… sahara river starts more housey, building a classy, low-slung huge groove with perculating synths and almost tribal feel to the drums. the modulating synths lifts the track to new heights with a break of superbly layered twisted pads before the drums kick back in in full effect. as this would not be enough we asked our thrusted chicago connection and alexs buddy, mazi aka audio soul project to remix sahara rain. if you consider people who s been in the biz for some time mazi is one of the warriors of the sound, never choosing the easy way but thrustfully following his true way of house music. and house it is, classic but cleverly updated to 2008 with a twist of so-cal thrown in for good measure. bouncey and jacking is the words which comes into mind when hearing this, excellent work and a another bomb for the hot months to come

once again, tuningspork records ventures away from its trademark funky house in exchange for something a little more unexpected. last summer, the label issued >free your mind< (tsextra), a baleraric groove crafted by jay haze and ricardo villalobos. now comes another non-sequitur: >comptine d un autre été: l après-midi< (tsultra), mr. tiersens piano composition reconstructed for the dancefloor by jay. french composer yann tiersen has a minimalist approach that many electronic producers could learn from. his piece (the title of which roughly means >nursery rhyme of another summer: the afternoon<) provides the basis for this melancholy track. djs addicted to hyperbolic effects plugins might hesitate to play this - but those who appreciate subtlety will be rewarded here. tiersens original composition is tastefully manipulated into a track that makes sense in a club context, yet sets itself apart from the usual techno/house fare, providing a rare introspective moment on the dancefloor. and it might be worth mentioning: if you play this track and the floor doesnt fill up with ladies, then it probably means youre djing at a gay club. (not that theres anything wrong with that!)

massive! the clubbers in ibiza are seeking desperately a track which would be hype and funny at the same time: here it is. john revox is continuing his adventure with diamond recordz, by making the kings shot: a track mainstream with electro sounds, playable by every dj.

one of the big club tunes from the new quantic lp, this smooth 4/4 latino cut spices things up by switching to a broken beat midway through. sabor appears here in original and bonus beats form. the heavy iinstrumental electric folklore on the flip is exclusive to this 12inch. plus politick society feat noelle scaggs (the rebirth).

full support from dj rush and felix krÖcher !! one thing is for sure, in the future you will here a lot about these two shootingstars! so dont miss electronmike vs bernd isaac

played by tim sweeney, only fools & horses, guillaume coutu dumont, sebo k, shit robot, mock & toof, fabrizio mammarella, toby tobias, willie graff dflex is the project from house music aficionado & x-press 2 member diesel & restless soul producer felix hopkins. both have been involved in electronic music long enough to understand the finer points of whats needed to create something of substance and with dflex they have formed a platform to explore their love of house music, techno & jazz. here we have their debut single, waltz, remixed by two very talented producers, switzerlands kawabata (a.k.a. lexx) & us producer dave aju. both offer outstanding offerings for those who like it deep..

here we offer two exclusive remixes preceding the djinji brown album release. sweat shop reworked by label mate and upcoming producer, boddhi satva brings africas tribal beats to the floor. swinging beats, electronic synths and pads saturate and transform into a hypnotic treatment. ancestral black gets blessed by mystery man afefe iku. taking djinjis creation to more dynamic and techno realms. with his signature stabs and heavy rhythms, this one demands you to move.

for your electronic summer fun kerkhoff & prinz shove three loose techno grooves on your plates. >contract< relies on an oldschool offbeat bass, but with its funky percussions and noises and nice reverberated melody it becomes clear soon that no one pretends to be a badass here. with its wobbly bass and little follies, >orange< stays in this vein while >mann an bord< enchants us with relaxed perssions and funky snares and would definitely shine brightly in any house set.

here comes the first smasher from mr. dane flash whos already well known by remixes for the whiteliners, avantgarde or sm trax. up in my soul is a superior pumping electro house track underlined by impulsive vocals as usual on l.m.e. this release comes up with a huge remix package including a the whiteliners mix for all minimal fans, a big room mix from manolo and last but not least a funky house mix from steve wish

sign of times is a funky as hell monster that ll make the crowds go insane!!

classic re-press of unbeliveable, killer 4-tracker from the legendary jersey champion. holds something 4 everyone: from summery house with live-strings and steeldrums (!), to an unearthly, melancholic vocal piece, plus one deep instrumental with shifting organ chords and pumpin drums. >reprise tha dread< is probably the hit here: rolling, dub reggae inflected jersey house with a sweet roots vocal (horace andy?) on top. house cant get much better than this!!!

2nd release on new swiss label here!!

it only took a few months for french dj / producer yuksek, to be acclaimed worldwide by clubbers under the spell of his unstoppable alchemy, a touch of pop song-writing, saturated beats, psychic rock acid progressions, a hip hop flow here and there and ever-so-present uplifting tunes that never compromise the dance floor appeal of his tracks

great summer food for djs / minimal stuff from mexico / plays by karotte

osbornes ruling came out on influential us label spectral sound earlier this year, and has been racking up some fantastic support already. an emotive piece of lush deep house, ruling is an unashamed throwback to the early halcyon days of chicago and new york house music. a perfect slice of deepness for the warmer months...shur i kan is becoming ever present on the nrk roster of late, hes one of our favourite brit producer/remixers, and he stays faithfull to the original mix of ruling here but drags it onto the dancefloor somewhat with some stronger beats and heavier bottom end. king britt, meanwhile, opts for a heady, darker pounding drum remix, with spacious chords and freeform jazz flicked riffs. a little scubambient mix is also included here...

famon flowers comes here on his own mechanismus industries label with a great tribal and detroit flavoured three tracker

after succes of >belmondo ep<’,, here is the alex gophers brand new ‘,aurora vol 2’,. new banging tracks and great remixes from the autokratz, shinichi osawa, rorys cassette jam. sounds like zdarlight on super discount!

after the great manjala record here is the next strike of two_em! hammered by sven väth & richie hawtin @ amnesia / ibiza, magda, matthew herbert, loco dice & someone else and many many more

hot off the heels of onur Özers most excellent mind melt album kasmir, released october of 2007, comes the reinterpretations on vakants vr division. wonderfully thought out, vr handles remixes exclusively leaving vakant itself pure to its artists. this constellation leaves everyone free to the corruption of their fancy, allowing the artists to choose their own remixers. with onur, finding willing interpreters is not a difficult task and the heavy of the heavies representing the light and dark sides of the force are here on vr04. on the a side loco dice, aka tunisian born yassine ben achour, takes onurs instrument laden >eclipse< and puts it through the treatment. what comes out the other end is popping state-of-the-art tech house with onurs depth and loco dices spontaneous flow. on the flip things get serious. jens zimmermann , the deep, deep, freak out master hailing from frankfurt, contributes his own spin on >sahara<

moving away from the multi artist approach of the previous 7 releases, ir-008 sees jason brunton take a more direct approach to the dancefloor with this straight up techno workout. stabbing chords run amok over a xxl moroder-esque bassline-hints of basic channel, carl craig and the shuffling rhythms all combining to create something both fresh and familiar at the same time. since his initial outings on headpace and iridite many years ago, marco bernardis career has went from strength to strength with a string of releases on glasgows soma records and a fruitfull relationship with the dutch masters clone- here he takes mixed metaphors in a new direction- crazed synthetic vocals combine with ice cold strings and electro beats worthy of any aux 88 or kraftwerk release! rei loci turns in a superb reworking, moving into deeper realms and coming off like early robert hood crashing into maurzios back yard!

played by: oliver huntemann, butch, popof, kiko, ricardo villalobos, tobi neumann, adam beyer, ivan smagghe, stephan bodzin... ji-fi is a new artist from belgium who was actually suggested to afu by none other than popof, who himself recently had a very rocketing career ! ji-fi has had a few releases and remixes on smaller labels already and serves just right with his first one for afulimited ! its truly influenced by popof, but ji-fi already takes it some steps further and rocks off with katapult ! it has all the bleeps, the driving bassline, the freaky sounds and the lovely break that will let everyone go mad in the clubs ! madness guarantied ! taste my visit and gougou complete the ep and it will surely be hard not to play all of them ! born in 1982, this belgian new producer has everything to foreseen him a good future. intrigued by music since his early age, playing piano with his grand father, everyone knew that music was a part of him. dj since 1997, he has visited lot of places of his country. from minimal to techno, his dj sets are always restless with a big groove. heís a great fan of funky bass and delayed melody coming from nowhere with space and warm sounds to complete and personalize his tracks. summer break is over and here we go with new energy

with frankly amazing singles on his own glimpse recordings and matt tolfreys leftroom earlier this year, 2007 is shaping up to be one hell of a year fro christopher spero aka house/techno prodigy glimpse. here, he delivers his debut for the uk-based bastion of quality that is four:twenty with a superb collaboration with critically acclaimed taka boom (sister of chaka khan) in the form of we existed. another great uk talent, tom demac is first to remix we existed and does so in fine style. its plain to see why so many labels of note are requesting releases from tom on first listen to his skilful, deep and dubby excursion into detroit inspired house. jay shepheard, not to be outdone, turns in two remixes for the package. his alternative remix is up first and is a driving affair with a percussive punch and nagging fm chords providing the perfect base for takas vocals and some well placed keys. the main rmx from compost man shepheard carries on the mantle of quality with a decidedly more electronic and epic feel: a shrinking violet this is not

a 2004 jackin classic by jason jinx here!!

for this seventh release samuel let someone else bring the music, and it s actually the first time since he started klap klap for a bit more then two years ago. claudio mate has really delivered something special here, and you can hear in the title what he s going for. it s classic detroit techno made for 2008. warm and rich melodies combined with funky and driving percussion. it comes in three versions that are connected but still has their own stories. should appeal to all those who appreciates things that is made with lust and passion

the latest release on rising trax is this cheeky little ep from max vangeli. three top draw tracks on show here. >crazed< starts simple yet effective and builds slowly into a big distorted guitar hook before dropping back into a very militant rhythm. >k.e.j.i< is a stripped down prog house number with a wicked groove overlaid with nice stabs and a cool hook. the final track of the ep is >i rock< which begins as a minimal house track then drops with some cool squeaks, bleeps and delayed noises. the stabs turn into a big snyth riff which can only be described as large!

jericho records continues its return to the forefront with this amazing new release from the hottest producer in dance music right now - eric prydz. using his cirez d moniker here eric has created a sublime, deep yet pumping masterpiece with hints of planet e with its simple building groove and enormous pads yet still due to tjhe immense production managing to pack an huge wallop. as if they wasnt enough on the flip side pig and dan pick up the pace with an amazing pumping groove perfectly utilising parts of the original to superb effect. already mercilessly hammered by eric prydz and pig and dan themselves as well as jon digweed early on - many others are now picking up on this bomb and this will feature heavily on house and techno floors alike. devastating!!

while for many of his contemporaries repetition became a new standard rather than innovation, jacek sienkiewicz with every release seems to be broading his musical horizons and challenging new territories. beacon seems to be even more organic than previous recognition releases, and the warm, yet unstoppable beat workout suddenly goes all jazzy and cinematic, with irresistible saxophone hook. big surprise here, but jacek blends the sounds into one of his trademark, 12+ minutes long, massive club anthem. another surprise is brought by the flipside - this remix is courtesy of the man of the moment michel bauman, here applying his soulphiction alter ego to dark, smoky and very tropical variation on a familiar theme. all over, another very impressive release from jacek sienkiewicz, man who never fails to impress.

the vex d remix of knowledge has appeared before, but is here reissued with a brand new a side, namely toastys stunning (and previously unavailable) rub of the classic candy floss. the sweetness of the original has been all but sucked out though, replaced with a techy melancholy which evokes classic metalheadz vibes.
