recorded in the winter/spring of 2009, first released in june 2009. at the time i called it my failed kompakt techno experiment, i started out with that minimal beat in mind but ended with something different. the title was the first thing i started with after watching some miss helen mirror on tv at the period, still love the title really. songs became longer and i discovered the delay while recording. this second record was the first one were i started settling on an sound of my own. some weeks after recording the screaming girls on the last track during their sunday afternoon youth group activity a baby fetus was found on their field with the mother being one of the girls

for the second and far overdue release on his little leaf imprint matt moroder delivers a superlative psychedelic reimagination of shuggie otis which sits far beyond the realm of your blog standard ableton edit. matt scliced the original into little pieces put it new together and added some drums and percussion with the respect this soul classic deserves. this rework is hypnotizing makes you wish to never end. on the flip hamburgs hardest working entertainer erobique used the same kind of gentleness to rework some cello and voice by one of the greates disco visionaries and songwriters that left us much to early. by creating a dirty mpc beat and blend it with vocals and cello erobique creates his own vision of the late arthur russell far from the average four too the floor mediocrity. this vinyl only release is strictly limited to 300 copies and shines even more with a splendid artwork that shows love and care

clinton said it best, jerry j is the hook master! mastered from a cassette mixdown of the legendary session with maurice ortiz, alive wilton, members of rick james band, roy ayers band, >spider-man< robinson, engineered by jess osborne. jerry had been holding on to the tape for years, it was the only master that survived since that 1980 night, he recorded it when he was only 19! expect some tape noise, this is a demo jam

some producers are just so underrated that it makes you sick. quadrant is a formation thats been around since 2005 and has released tracks on prestigious labels like renegade hardware, citrus, fokuz to name a few. the quality of their output is extraordinarily crisp and original that its hard not to notice them, this dermaphoria ep is exactly that. and as allways this quadrant release comes with a sexy cover by designer mesk.

lime dubz keep on cracking with another too hot to handle release.. the long time duo jade & matt-u are reunited once again but not for getting back to their dnb roots. no jade teams up with matt-u for some highly technical dubstep sounds. grindhouse on jades venom lp was just a taster of what was to come..

a message from claude vonstroke: >sascha braemer has got the funk! i first heard him on the amazing thrill on kindisch which i charted in my top 3 tracks of 2008. after that i heard the even more amazing heinrichs and hirtenfeller album dark orbit, (my favorite album of 2009) on highgrade. i usually like to break new dirtybird artists but this time i had to go find this guy and beg him to make us something. sascha has got that tech-funk, caveman quality that is so elusive and hard for me to find as an a&r. and on this record you will hear why i went and found him. this is an absolute beast! both tracks are tried and tested club killers. truthfully, i cannot think of a better dance-floor record on dirtybird this year<

fresh beats delivered directly from the caribbean by venezuelan producer trujillo on his latest appearance on the spanish-venezuelan label apersonal music. trujillos ability to make you feel caught up in an eternal summer vibe gets clearer and stronger with every track he releases. on this release main single >fruit punch< is simplicity at its best, squeezing the most out of basic classic-house elements. it builds up slowly until the original guitar tunes in, thats when you take a sip of your fruit punch (or whatever sweet drink comes handy) and enjoy the sea breeze in your face (whether its there or not..). for the extra flavor on your drink they pour an edit-format track >looking up through you<. lots of original ingredients here enough to make this edit an own piece of music... venezuelan keyboard player mister casanova on board plus trujillo mixing it all up in his best poolside bar style. fresh juicy punched stuff here! on the remix department 2 remix versions from uk based producer toby tobias plus a classy fashioned remix from canadian eddie c. tobias is a hard working man, and when you ask him for one he hits you twice, hard to pick one remix although one had to be selected for digital only release (size matters some time!). what can we say about eddie c.. apersonal had already made a statement that they love classic grooves, and it cant get classier than eddies beats on his remix! this groove is what house music is all about, and it will always be.

ulysses dj career began in 1991, when he started his universitys first techno radio show. shortly after graduating he returned to his hometown and became a player in the late-90s electro scene in new york, running some of the earliest large-scale electro parties in new york. guests included legends such as alexander robotnick and arthur baker, as well as recent stars like i.f., miss kitten and the hacker and adult. ulysses is not only about party promotion, however, and a close look at his diverse musical career will quickly shatter this misconception. although a long-time advocate of obscure disco and classic techno, ulysses is currently best known for the piano house anthem robotic hypnotic adventure from his neurotic drum band collaboration with john selway. in addition to the ndb ulysses collaborates with thugfuckers holmar filipsson as filipsson & ulysses, who are releasing soon-to-be classic eps of emotive electronic disco on internasjonal and bearfunk records. ulysses still continues to chart his own musical path with an incredible ep of dark pop for internasjonal spesial in the works, as well as some new club-friendly dance tracks on wurst and his solo debut for throne of blood. the acid reflux ep represents the diversity of ulyssess talent, from banging acid tracks to moody downtempo and grooving electronic house. to round things out ulysses recruited prins thomas to deliver an unprecedented nine-minute rerub of >acid reflux< that preserves the originals 303 groove but injects a heaping dose of cosmic atmosphere and live instrumentation into the mix. essential

after the big succes of hi tech booty, we searched for some really special guys out there to put hand on ahmets bomb. well here it is. a1 comes from maetrik which was a strong desire of ahmet and for sure an excellent choice. he totally brings in his own style while getting a little bit closer to the darkside of the track. a2 is a special collab between rainer, which we know from the last regular stock5 record together with cesare vs disorder and viudez, a mexican guy that seems to have a very nice influence to the production style. the vocal is very present but placed, arranged and transformed geniously. for sure a weapon! b1 is written by our special friend chris sylvester aka inxec. starting with a very housy groove, it falls quickly into a hypnotic mood that is unique in inxec productions. he really knows what the dancefloor requires and for this we are very happy to have him again in our release roster. b2 presents a very new and fresh artist called rico casazza. he interprets the track in a very detroit way, works verz little with the vocal but hits it very perfectly for the sense of the track. after this debut on our imprint you can be sure to hear more of this young guy in the next time!!!

this is the third single taken from boohgaloo zoos devastatingly good self-titled debut album. >i got< is a relentless disco groover while >come to this< is a slow-mo exotica house bomb (whatever that may mean) with some hints of exotica. two fat and funky joints. this time, the remixes are courtesy of mugwump and aardvark. mugwump takes the original and turns it into an electrifying discoid tour de force. aardvark does his thing, which lately means taking a song, and giving it an electronic shock treatment. those who like forward thinking electronic music will go bananas for this one. post >nameyourfavourite<?

erell ranson is based in the north of france and has already released memorable records on arne weinbergs aw-recordings, as well as on his own myself label. he expresses his personality through these soulful productions, and this new release on adepth demonstrates how his great talent has developed even further. each track on the new everything needs to be clear ep is an individual musical journey in its own right. the 4 track ep begins with erells original version of >everything needs to be clear<. its combination of gentle chords with electro beats is the foundation of the musical ideas explored throughout this release. the second track, >so strange to explain<, is deeper and an adventurous fusion of dark, intense tones, swirling beats and insistent percussion. on the flipside, canadian rennie foster remixes the title track, and delivers a fine piece of modern dancefloor techno which respects the key elements of title track. erells >sandcastle< closes the ep, and its sophisticated yet punchy bassline and fragile synths recall some classic early 90s productions.

future disco releases the fourth edition of the sort after series and to coincide with the full album release is this limited four track vinyl sampler featuring some of the highlights from the collection >neon nights<. first up is an exclusive track from the revenge. originally created a dj tool for graeme clark aka the revenges dj sets >just be good to mario< is a cleverly produced mash up of the revenges own >just be good to me< featuring the vocals of crazy ps danielle moore, and mario basanovs track >do you remember<. the result is a slow grooving dance floor jam that takes the best bits from two producers at the top of their game. also on the a side, the c90s –shine a light is given the remix treatment by australia outfit flight facilities. the result is a slow tempo song, perfect to start or end the night. on the b side, hannulerauris instrumental >zombie tropicana< gives a firm nod to the 80s with a slow stomping electronic disco work out. finally london duo, tape to tapes >pure & easy< completes the pack. a hand raising house track with soaring breakdown, which demonstrate the breath of the sounds on a future disco collection. all tracks have never appeared on vinyl before and are exclusive to this sampler

composite family welcomes feygin, a guy influenced by prince, the beatles. louie vega, jimpster, herbie hancock, jazztronik, dop, will smith, billy joel and woddy allen. he loves anything that flows smoothly, whether its into his ear or into his belly. feygin comes from a family where everyone played some sort of instruments. yet, he never learned to play anything himself. about 2 years ago he decided he will make dance music, or his own interpretation of it. so far he is doing well. you can call his style an eclectic mix of dance music and its various sub genres. as long as it grooves, feygin is on it. at some point in his life, he d like to be able to collaborate with real live musicians, and really push dance music to its boundaries

after an incredible whirlwind of a year lee foss returns to the culprit fore with >your turn girl<. foss is the labels most consistent and prolific artist with this ep being his fourth release, solo or as part of hot natured. it is safe to say, lee has become one of the pillars around which culprit is being built. the >your turn girl ep< carries foss signature hallmarks: melodic funk-infused basslines, vocal hooks that grab you from the off and a smooth electronic edge. lees incredibly emotive sound makes him stand out even in the current glut of soulful dance music washing over the global scene. your turn girl – the title track is an epitome of foss >ominous funk< style, playful yet with a distinctly sultry edge. yet another memorable r n b female vocal bit sits on top of some of lees own best synth work. and driven by a killer analogue bassline. >pyramid scheme< –bristles with the disco-inspired propulsive energy. an acid-flecked low end, that comes to the fore mid-way through, a swirling guitar sample, the crisply sharp drums add up to the releases, perhaps, most hands-in-the air moment. >cabin party< continues the themes lee explored with his mega successful hot creations ep. foss eschews the standard house beat yet again, opting for his most organic drums yet, stunningly conceived textures and melodies, with another pair of vocal hooks to die for. finally >warriors< has been a staple of many a culprit dj set for the best part of 2010. lees trademark combination of a terrific electronic bassline, and an unabashedly emotional sample work make for a deep house stand-out tinged with a sense of nostalgia.

thomas fehlmann is integral to kompakt and the labels history. his solo releases and collaborative work with alex patterson as the orb have been some of the kompakts most revered and cherished tunes. following the success of his 2010 full length gute luft (a collection of re-edited versions from his score to the hit documentary 24hr berlin), we start 2011 off with titan one / dfm. on october 16, 2010 thomas fehlmann performed in montreal, canada at the historic molson coors brewery building together with members of the montreal symphony orchestra (osm). together they sought to recreate a version of gustav mahlers classic symphony no. 1 (titan). kompakt is proud to now offer a new recording inspired by that epic concert of symphonic and electronic with a new recording inspired from that performance – renamed as titan one. the hum of cellos and strings conjoin fehlmanns electronics – held together by the sublime, unobtrusive thump of a bass drum. titan one flows with a beauty and edacity that is rarely heard in both classical and electronic music form. the b-side features a new recording inspired from the second piece of the performance - a new version of thomas fehlmanns du fehlst mir from his 2006 kompakt full length visions of blah. reanimated as dfm, the piece again conjoins the different musical worlds in a way we have never heard to such a high standard. a much more upbeat affair than to titan one (of course) bass and keyboards mingle with the symphony the playfulness of the original song rolls throughout dfm. whether as palais schaumberg, the orb, or 3mb (to name only a few alias). fehlmann may have 3 decades of professional recordings under his belt but he continues to prove to the world as being one of the most fascinating and creatively open musicians in his field. this release clearly proves his story is far from over.

whats my name, the latest single from the bajan songstress rihanna, is not a cover of the clashs 1977 punk classic, but finds riri taking a detour from the dancefloor-scorching grooves of only girl to craft a steamier cut which draws its heat from her short-lived, but much-buzzed-about relationship with the t-dot heavyweight. here, the upbeat synth boardwork of stargate sets the stage for a heaping helping of innuendo from both collaborators, drizzy handles verse one, sing-rapping his way through a double-entendre-peppered opener (the square root of 69 is (eight/ate) something… right? cause i been tryin to work it out.), and rihanna responds in kind, lacing her verses and chorus with some playful come-ons of her own. digging this catchy ode to young love/lust? then be sure to grab a copy of this vinyl and the heavy remixes it has.

once again leng deliver with a lovely bit of heavy electronic stompery. tiagos >the source< goes straight for the dark end of the dancefloor and wallows in the smokey acidic enivirons of the late night moody corner ! with a punchy throbbing bass, hefty beats, tons of spacey effects and some awesome delayed hi hats to really mess your head, this is in the box for the strobe light moment. on side-b >mudds slow rave mix< turns up the acid a few notches, somehow gets even swampier in the bottom end and slightly more whacked out on the fx, add a lovely niggling synth line for a dark heavy dancefloor work out.

first on decks.de !! u cant deny that holgi star und pierre deutschmann are some true techno oldschool rockers of the electronic scene. both of them with a lot of producing experience on their back have now decided to a have a couple get togehters on releases! and it truly works! they also live by one saying: >just because u hit a certain age it doesnt mean u are not on top of the game!< no wonder why. week for week they are playing around the globe and bring their fresh, modern, melodic drivefull technosound to the partycrowd. and with stylerockets they have chosen the right place to be! incl. remixes by dominik vaillant and joseph disco.

following on from their last two sell out eps, foto recordings (run by ali ooft!) enlist the talents of deep space orchestra for release number three in the catologue. first up >riding in my imaginary jeep< showcases their trademark old synths/modern production aesthetic to full effect, taking in classic drum machines and warm synth lines to produce an epic piece of deep house. second track >sir shina< sees them doing some deft sample-manipution with a big chugging midtempo jam the result. ooft! meanwhile give >riding< the once-over, beefing up the low end whilst retaining most of the musical parts.

crazy p return to 2020vision with their first new material since the stop space return album. the mts series is a chance for jim & chris to get back to basics and produce some club tracks for their in demand dj sets, before they reconvene with the rest of the band for their next album. already making waves with both of their soloexcursions (ron basejam and hot toddy), they team up here for two perfect examples of their trademark disco and house vibes. crazy p are quite rightly held in great esteem from some of the hippest names around, wolf & lamb, jamie jones and tensnake to name three. they have been ploughing their own deep disco furrow for many years waiting for fashion to catch them up, and now can take the plaudits for being figureheads of this uk scene. my love is a superb raw house cut, thats custom built for sweaty basement sessions, influenced by classic us house. make me wanna takes a moreunk riffs and diva vocals. both of superb examples of the amazing crazy p sound and have had unanimous glowing feedback from the few people lucky enough to have heard them so far

the energetic >coconut coast< is an awesome example of whats coming from oriol, and he has bought some remixers along for the party too. faltydl brings the tempo down and gives the track a strange off key shuffling rub thats reminiscent of theo parrish at his oddest. mike paradinas in his jake slazenger guize, does a mix of >memories< thats almost funky house, mixed with big rubbery jazz chords and classy diva vocal samples. shortstuff takes >memories< and draws it into strange new shapes over stiff beats.

2013 repress! sudden drop step it up a gear for their 1st release of 2011 with newcomer bleak providing a double header of beats. >isolated< kicks things off in fine style with sleek, super phatt beats and a serious amount of pace. throw in some tight production technique, a serious attention to groove and a fine palette of sounds and you have an impressive addition to any techno minded djs record box. flip for the moodier stylings of >bold<. although more introspective in its approach, bold is no less powerful on the dance floor. once again bleaks impressive production technique rises to the fore with big booming kicks and melancholic pads

shakarchi & straneus are faik and daniel, two bffs from gothenburg who are making some of the most catchy, emotional and well crafted dance music we have heard in a long time. both had been involved in music for a while when they started working together at their hometowns top tapas joint, manana. in between washing dishes and serving patatas bravas, the boys would burst out short tracks and sound experiments in the makeshift studio they had set up inside mananas cloakroom. this led to a debut 12 inch on malmo based geography recordings and now comes their five track ep >dodskallar och korallrev<: studio barnhus second release, the best swedish house record since jesper dahlbacks >what is the time mr. templar?<, something we are immensely proud of being able to release.

within a fistful of years, london based dj and producer jozif has built a solid reputation for himself. eccentric as well as charismatic, his groove-driven sets have brought severe damage on some of the most hard to please dancefloors of planet earth. as a producer, jozif sails in a sea of strange atmospheres, wrapped up in white noise, equally organic and electronic, deep blue, deep disco, deep house, deep techno...

short about the label: a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we are gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it… im very glad to introduce yet another member to out internasjonal >family<. mathew senick aka mathew leutwyler. mathew got in touch through the web from mexico and it took us only a brief listen to this troika of wonderful sounds to convince us. now decide for yourself if theres something wrong with my ears….. ps: my computer tells me hes had releases out on perspectiv and traum, ill definitely investigate further, so should you

the latest from thesongsays brings back one of our main players - bruno pronsato. whats he been up to you might ask? aside from completing his album lovers do, working on music with thomas melchior and daze maxim and putting out records as pubic lover with our leading lady ninca leece, not much… maybe hes been in the rafters sipping coffee or understudying for bigger roles. who knows. nonetheless he’s back. these two new tracks come from his upcoming lp, lovers do. its a single, sort of. but not really. because when has bruno ever done a single like we know a single? this 12-inch is about as far as you could get from club fodder. rather, its a pair of subtle grooves to soundtrack you cutting carrots, sipping whiskey, or dancing at some intimate afterhours spot
