nice price deal !!! the unhistories sound is psychedelic, but not in the paisley way. more mind expanding/modern...get it straight, singer isnt referencing any past trend in music. their idea involves their (very) original compositions tangling with voices stumbling, clucking, heaving, whipping, shrieking and sighing in a graceful jumble. this is a crux. this is unhistories. by way of introduction, the record is packaged in a way that brings the fun and the fury of singer into your hands, your home, your lap, your eyes, ears and headphones with life, weight and a glossy polish.

seasons limited follow up the massive cant help by kemal with majico by anto vitale, a laidback track featuring mesmerizing vocals and wicked chants alongside lush keys and synths over a deeply stormin percussion enriched backing groove. doruk ozlen is firing up the vibe on his take, with a mesmerizing deep groove leading the way for the vocals and captivating synths and chords. boddhi satva goes deep and hypnotizing, with a distinct afro tribal touch to be found on this main version, while the dub is a more stripped down affair featuring acidic synths.

#1 in villalobos charts!! also supported by loco dice, troy pierce, dave clarke, dan curtin, agoria, anthony collins, ben sims, laurent garnier. >fearless fun< was taken from the >wilmslow road< ep on mind your head records, grimes own label. originally released in 2004, it only got remarked by a bigger audience when ricardo put it at number 1 in his chart two years later. because the vinyl was so hard to find - but way too good to remain unknown to the masses - we decided to license it with a big shot remix on the flip. because efdemin - incontournable since his amazing self-titled debut album on dial - loved the original so much, he agreed to give it a try. the result is a huuuge dancefloor tool as you can hear. a unique package you cannot miss out on!!

another fine release on winding road records! this is a debut ep from bleep district. true to their name, the 4 tracks here contain plenty of mesmerising bleeps sitting inside the slick deep house grooves youd expect from the label. the lead track, bleep of faith, is peaktime voodoo house with cool vocals, and a wicked bassline which comes as a special surprise half way through. robot claart is superdeep, hypnotic tech-house with a cheeky jamaican dub twist. when i saw you, possibly the strongest tune of the package, is a real killer. with polished production, reverse vocal licks and an ubercool bleepy bassline, this track is a contender to be a summer anthem of 2008. essential! the last track on the package, some may say, is an eccentric but irresistable hip-hop meets folk-house number. yet another winning package from winding road

colorblind is a project of dj spider and tokyo dj jun matsuoka. influenced by afro-american music in its widest sense, their open-minded dj sets - a cross-over of latin jazz, two-step, soul or deep house - reflect the way they compose.the latin orientated >novo dia< is a deeper shaking bossa combining future funk synths with sweet brazilian vocals. originally released 2003.

great album with lots of support by: italoboyz, karotte, layo, raresh, sebo k, stefan goldmann

after the amazing 2084/ultra ep on music man last year, we are very proud to present a new redshape record to you guys! both robot and neon are two amazing gems in his own original style. not to miss!!! feedback: adam beyer: love robot, sounds exellent! really current in an old fashioned way!

2x 15mins of ultra hypno house!! big with ricardo villalobos, prins thomas, laurent garnier,… unarguably, the best way to prepare umu is inside a hole in the ground. go find a nice flat land, preferably your mother in laws lawn, gather friends, ask them to bring wine. youll need a well amplified turntable playing mania #11 on a loop. cut the grass using a flat shovel, four or six square pieces of 50 cms, lifting the grass with its roots and some soil, move aside. now you have a clean area of about 1.5 mts square, dig in it to a depth of about 50 cms (come on, it will make you sweat profusely but you need this shallow grave to feel the magik of easter islands umu!).

incl big jay haze & johnny d remixes... plays by ricardo villalobos, tiefschwarz, matthew dear (audion)...

9 volt? not enough energy? no way buddy ! with 9 volt there is a german label on the way to the top, which doesn t need to becompared with others! experimental minimalism at it s very best…ltd rerelease

the polytechnics ep is the second release on df by silver city following the superb dubby ep from 2006. on the a side, the title track polytechnics has electrofunk vibes blending perfectly with new wave sensibilities. think greg wilson mixing up gary numan and you wont be far off. it rocks! and on the flip, nu disco don pete herbert (reverso 68/lsb) cuts up pendulo a heavily arrpegiated disco stormer and transforms it into yet another disco bomb. this was an edit that pete knocked together for his own dj sets and we loved it so much we just had to put it on the vinyl. last, but in no way least, is victoria jam which is a no nonsense heads down groover of a track that will get your dancefloors rocking. seriously good music. enjoy! plays by: ashley beedle, llorca, fabrice lig, electric press, reverso 68, munk, murray richardson, ajello, dubious...

funky minimalism and electronica

last summer, the berlin-based producer and well-known remixer chris zippel (who already worked with the pet shop boys, robbie williams or ich & ich) already celebrated his very personal interpretation of modern and complex ambient between zwischen triphop beats and melancholic pop references by his genuine horizon album. with this ep, chillout producer zippel has chosen a way quite unusual for him by taking four tracks of the album, making them compatible for the dancefloor with a number of co-producers and proving that dub is still up-to-date in 2008. the ep starts with an interpretaton of electronic spain recordings producer mangelt: again, a straightforward energy flash between reminiscence and modern club sound, takes on the powerful post acid minimalhouse sound a la steve bug. the dane mike salta turns mirror dawn into deep techhouse dub, and also the schwerin-based downtempo producer andre muelle alias vakuum sounds shows that he is influenced by a timelessly valid unterstanding of dub and fragmented s mples by his version of glacier. finally, the tribal progressive house dub of blade remixed by kling klong impresario namito (berlin), undoubtedly the most famous remixer on this ep, goes right into your hips

the album title track >my manifest< shows, that marco stays true to his love for house chords. old school riffs meet energy loaded beats and his dark self-spoken manifest and reveal a new, more technoid face of marc o tool. >the grail< however shows, that he also still knows how to embed harmonies in a club outfit. driving rhythms reminding of the old o tool days, get alternated by an emotional piano breakdown, to finally find their way back into the floating monotony

the man behind chymera is brendan gregoriy. releasing music since 2005, the producer from dublin already has an impressive discography with releases on labels such as delsin or ovum. >ellipsis< and >eulogy< are sonic epics that never cease zu fascinate the listeners. they manage to be bold and sophisticated, powerful and elegant at the same time. they transform the dancefloor in an maelstrom with no way out, and yet they never give their electronic cool away, they always remain subtle and somewhat distant. the sounds form an imaginary landscape, they are a projection surface for one s desires

toolterror welcomes dj arcane, with releases on compressed or kne deep, arcane made his way into the row of the top techno producers. on this vinyl you will find 4 fresh and good produced techno tools. everything a good record need is inside: sweepy chords and melodies, vocals and powerful arrangements. playlist of: sven wittekind, robert natus, dj rush and many more

following the success of last years >nitrogen 2 oxygen 1< ep for siteholder records and the recently released >filthy fibber< ep on uncut, the duo of billy dalessandro and daniel mnookin have teamed up once again under the slutbox moniker to deliver the >backseat driver< ep. switching up the rotation, the ep kicks off with los angeles based producer jason emsleys >lick it, smack it, rub it down remix<, a filthy number that no amount of sludge can adequately describe. a subtle, yet effective rhythm section keeps the dance floor busy while the dirty synth overtones grow larger and larger until they have conquered ones brain synapses. feeding off of the original vocal and adding some x-rated lines of his own, if pornographic techno wasnt a genre before, it is now. the original is pure slutbox at its best. deep bass, seductive rhythm, addictive loops, and a spanish guitar combine to make this one another club killer. as if you had a choice, please make your way to the dance floor - the night has begun. rounding out the vinyl release is st. louis via berlin dj/producer butane (a.k.a. andrew rasse). known for his widely praised work on his own alphahouse label, as well as top techno imprints dumb unit, num, and rrygular, butane has long been a friend of the siteholder crew and takes this opportunity to make his debut on the remix tip. deep, druggy, and hypnotic, butanes >percocet remix< is what one has come to expect from the late night veteran. whether its early evening, time to jack, or after-after hours, the >backseat driver< ep is an all-in-one tech fueled necessity

kill factory is running things with there latest big releases by various artists both new and upcoming. the new one is here in the same succesfull concept, so you know what to expect! big beats killing sounds and just pure mayhem. lexis (cardiac arrest) presents his solid kicks, edits and driving style, dj hammond from hungary bring you even further with his hardcore banging track and ocram (contempt) rocks you all the way with his rolling beats and crazy samplework!

jay tripwire doesnt need any further introduction, his releases on labels like swag, tango, worship and nordic trax speak for itself. jay delights us with the ueberdeep hear me butterfly, that will blow your dancefloor the cinematic way. intense look is another lady magnetizer, while hexidecimal takes ya on a motor city journey.

somewhere between peaches and metro area this is a really cool record that is super lo fi. nice disco claps and trippy guitar with cowbells. the vocal is very rock, screeching mid way through. flipping over its very electro and minimal with the vocal going spoken word about hits of the 80s. fans of all the current electro clash biz, will totally be feeling this.

hot on the heels of acclaimed releases for four:twenty, dessous, sonar kollektiv, buzzin fly and his own diynamic usic, house producer du jour mladen solomun returns with his second stunning single for dessous after the sublime >sambada ep<. >woodstep< is a percussive trip to the heart of house, a tech-tinged groove peppered with strange tribal rhythms, evoking a midnight trek into the sultry tropical rainforest. on the flip, >no comment<, an analogue bubblebath of a bassline propels a techier cut, where detroit washes do battle with stepping keys, a crisp beat and belches of hissing smoke. halfway through, a spoken word sample ushers in lush echoic piano chords, taking the track to the next level. combining the heavily rhythmic bustle of classic house with the darker touch of techno in his own idiosyncratic & dancefloor - capti-vating way, solomun once agains shows why hes rapidly becoming one of the most in-demand producers in the game

nice price deal !!! after releasing singles with his hommies from luckystars on our conya label and delivering hot remixes on clubstar, here comes the debut single of dj electric from moscow. he is also the man behind the mighty deepology label and the same called radio show. dj electric teamed up with german spanish beauty simone de nauw. after her smah hit luv she delivers bigtime again. next to the original deep n warm electronic mixes you will find a whole wide range of remixes: per qx (uk/swe) takes it to the bigrooms, satoshi fumi (jap) goes deep, edmund gives it the soulful rub (esp) & andrey loud (rus) does it the electronic way. summer must be just around the corner!

already supported by pan-pot, sebo k, anja schneider, kiki, karotte... simplicity is the name of the game on both tracks here. on >louder elvis<, the two unleash pure deep-house bounce over ominous, detroit-inspired pads, clean-as-a-whistle bleeps laser their way through a fog of dubbed-out delay. the tunes flow suggests a live session, with tumbling chords following their own whims, but theres nothing haphazard about it. this ones all about the afterhours, head down and moving steadily into the light. a vocal sample kicks off >radio graceland< but dont expect any bloated rock n roll theatrics. instead, van dowski and agnès lay down a slowly rolling groove with a latin touch and even a little bit of reggaetón lurch. hand drums dapple the landscape with faded colors, keeping the mood subdued—at least, until the beat gathers steam and bright, syncopated chords splash about. groaning analog noises push the energy restlessly forward, driving dancers to wild abandon: the track is as effective as it is unconventional. what else would you expect from two of switzerlands most uncompromising crowdpleasers

the second release on this hard techno label presents some of the big upcoming stars in the scene. the record starts of with the intro and track of label owner orman bitch. orman is defenitely on his way to the top with big releases on cannibal, jli, fatallic and more. next on the a-side jason little who is creating a big stir in the scene with the releases on jasons mask! he is known for his ultrahard style and even sneaks a few dirty samples in.. on the flip we find two equally hard productions of dj hamy from hungary and schranzao da santos...

incl supergroovin touane remix !! the fourth release onthis supercool italy label is one by criss aka the rain. a very surprising release in a very positive way! minimal with a darker vibe into in and a irresistable swing that can t be missed.

third album young desire, again captures the fervour witnessed on lapkos live shows. taking in themes of vulnerability and anxiety beneath hardened exteriors, aching feelings, pressure and confusion, the album is a mental trip back to the schoolyard, where tough guy antics and leather armor cant hide the convulsions underneath. theres new depth and dynamic in the bands expression, fitting for a gang of seasoned rock musicians. these two art school dropouts and metal worker have come a long way from harjavalta (though they still gather there to rehearse and play) and have evolved as a band and as friends.

electric minds present gatto fritto for their 3rd release. a talented musician and producer from north london, he has been steadily building a reputation through his releases on london based dissident. extending his repertoire further he brings another quality production to electric minds. the a side bursting the bubble is a nine minute jam with quirky sync samples, heavy bass and a change in direction half way through the track which is becoming a trade mark of gatto frittos productions. the b side radio b-92 did not make its place on the first electric minds release as planned, so they were delighted to have been able to include it here. it is a sync rich track taking inspiration from new yorks 80s electro scene, a perfect compliment to what is already a very strong 12inch release. house heads as well as the cosmic fans will appreciate both productions

after the genre-smashing, seven vinyl pressings deep (and counting) success of viktor casanova, there is no way that the italoboyz could possibly top their first appearance on mothership, right? wrong! we are happy to report that they have created an organic techno masterpiece in >bahia<, enlisting the help of one of the greatest jazz musicians of our time - john coltrane. youve never heard the master like this - the italoboyz have molded the original >bahia< into a stomping peak timer as only they can. their trademark monster kick underpins stuttering jazz kits, a playful piano line, and an insistent, soulful tenor sax sample from the man himself (cleared after four months of intense negotiations). bahias intro leads into one of the most surprising and euphoric breaks you will ever hear. there are two versions to choose from - the party swing mix gets right to the point, grabbing you by the scruff of your neck. the flip sides mucho lungo mix is perfect for those late night warehouse moments, taking its time to deliver the sweet payoff

after a short introduction as a remixer on the >prismatic ep< kevin over demonstrates his production skills. kevin alone at the home-studio surprises in a musical way. level one: >dollycluster< with its click-beats and latin-inspired sounds gives a impression of the summer-parties at dc10. level two: sennhs deep and happy rework dives gentle into sunset. level three: >forrest dump< is a luminous tech-house masterpiece of the 21st century

two building up monsters with very precise production and clear mixing. these tracks will dominate the floor for sure and drive people crazy with their hypnotic style. the return of a. mochi, who made his name not only with releases on luke slater s >mote evolver< imprint, also his last kumo-release was a massive success by finding a way to combine shaky minimal grooves with the energy of clearly arranged, straight techno

loved by alex from tokyo, alex attias, ame, dixon, marcus worgull, peter kruder, roland appel, tony lionni and many more.. fabrice lig, the prince of everything electronic, is back after his very acclaimed x-slaves. he delivers the goods once again, starting off here with chapter one in a purple raw trilogy. first up is the track, based around a jerky syncopated rhythm and a very dry kick, which remains light all the way. as usual, lig’s arrangements evolve progressively before they wipe us away with their screeching pads and synthetic melodies. a great mixture of minimal techno and detroit nostalgia. no doubt, the more efficient track produced by fabrice lig and hammered by dixon, ame, alex attias, quarion… much more aggressive, bump bump is built around fat analogue sounds, or acid noises if you prefer which seem to emulate screaming animals. one is easily carried away by an animalistic groove that keeps on building from the beginning till the end. it all ends with the very funky the riff pourpre, a perfect crossover between metro area and parliament. the retro sounds sit nicely on a big fat beat, the kind which lig excels in.

supa dupa soulful deeeeep detroithouse !! old skool perfekt in die heutige zeit plaziert...

deep, deeper, peter grummich! this man is on a roll right now, and with every new release you have to ask yourself where this is all going to lead to? however with the >garden ep< he now already delivers the perfect soundtrack for weeding the beds and waterblasting the terrace - and for partying hard, of course. >beachtrak< prefers its quintessential sub-harmonics to just playing it safe with an upfront bassdrum, and finally channels its way in a wide arc up to the next level. a hit also for friends of water gardens. on the b-side grummich enlarges his melodic skills with a sweet flowery scent of detroit on the track >garden<, and >its to share<, which evolves into a great anthem with just an assumed number of 3 sounds and a couple of snotty claps

the long awaited larize release from the talented taras van de voorde is finally coming your way! this guy already released on sians octopus label and on dualblock and has more stuff coming up on some fine labels this year. larize is a smooth warm techhouse song with huge potential and comes with a massive remix by artificial (aki) latvamaki (cocoon / mezzotinto). top notch
