miss kittin & the hacker are right back in action with the first commercially available single from their long awaited (and excellent) second album entitled, suitably enough, >two<. this 12inch comes with a remix by french newcomer maxime dangles. 1000 dreams reflects just one style on an album crammed full of ideas, songs, sounds, influences, hues and textures.first up is >1000 dreams (maxime dangles remix)<. maxime is a (comparatively) fresh-faced newcomer from valence in france, who previously has had some remarkable releases on labels such as colognes kompakt extra (speicher) and scandium records. he strips down the original and imbues it with a thumping melodic club vibe, utilising kittins vocal to devastating effect. nice stuff. very. 1000 dreams<. miss kittin and the hacker sprinkle space dust on a song that sounds like it has been germinated in a mid 70s discotheque, tended with loving care during the 80s and revealed to the world in 2009. a dreamy collision of influences, classic and new. 1000 dreams (instrumental). pretty much self-explanatory, this one. enjoy

limited upfront promo edition with deep dubby killer tracks !!

edward mckeithen aka jus ed (underground quality) on second imprint of k soul label (sistrum - uzuri) for superb detroit house. just great!!!

played by villalobos & raresh !! what a way to start off 2009, a very strong ep delivered from catwash aka chris carrier & dj w!ld with remix from lemos & kreon. groovabilisme (original) hits with its’ crafty tech-house stomp, killer kick, and fun tribal groove. a very interesting concept on this production, as the deep grounding rhythm is super floor filling, yet the space between gives it the perfect air for the huge sub that just rolls this cut to the top of the charts. a sure shot for all players. kreon’s mix stylizes with more jack then jack himself. his vox arrangements give his cut a pop, lock, and rock it knack for the true school dancer. this remix takes any spot in a set, it’s got the capability to kick it big or be slow & deep, depending on how a player wishes to pitch it- a brilliant & effective production. lemos rocks the bells a for main lead rhythm, an excellent perspective to make for a clever & diversity ep. his mix creates a driving hypnotic bender with enough thump & smack to keep the bells intact and still lead the floor into a seductive sound scape of a moving utopia.

not just building up noise, but pressure on the dancefloor - that s what these tracks are made for!

well known on the dnb and dubstep scene for his fiendishly twisted artwork, uk creative genius monsta is also a beast of a producer. in this, his third release for subtrakt he teams up with >mr key< to bring us >space raiders<, a vocal dubstep demon of truly gargantuan proportions, so huge, in fact that it threatens to bring down mankind itself. or maybe its just a packet of crisps? dean rodell bravely attempts to contain the threat on his remix, but an army of space raiders march up out of their packet and flatten the whole city using a supernatural arsenal of sonic weapons that pull down skyscrapers with rasping bass and fry a million brains with shrieking sirens that can be heard in even the far corners of the galaxy. on the second remix dnb hero >raiden< stands up, and the guerilla war begins. taking his inspiration from the paranoid b-movies of the cold war era he morphs the original lead sounds into something so spooky and bizarre the space raiders have no choice but to pack their flying saucers and piss off back to zetareticuli. phew, that was close. supported by maryanne hobbs (bbc radio1)

the second release from the revenges strictly limited label imprint instruments of rapture brings 6th borough project back to cement their edit credentials. clocking in at 98bpm, do it to the max is some heavyweight, slo mo, sleaze funk, which seems set to trouble the bassbins and double the dancefloor. the flip sees the long awaited vinyl release of their soaring disco diamond, just a memory which was previously only available on 6th borough projects ultra rare l.e.s.s. productions cd promo. the finale takes the revenge back to revisit 6th borough projects jisco music nugget planets for a stripped back special 12inch disco version.

water drops through layers of fog while we try to find out, if our eyes or ears just caught this impression. a universe on a disc.

aint no stopping us now. even if you might feel that the release pressure is on, we just cannot help to put out these gems (at least, we think thats what they are). what you hold in your hands (or on your laptop) is neo-house of the finest order. rhein-main kid robert dietz (cécille, be chosen etc.) was so kind to share his definition of h-muzik with us. to put it in a nutshell: >forward snipping< slices and cuts some nice vocal bits in a true ear candy way. even my brother gets goose bumps. >witness< sounds like a lost k.o.t. track resp. them being on the right track again and to round it all up, >faber mix< is a disc jockey tool that brings you from a to b or even z. and please, always keep paul >trouble< anderson in mind: a house is where you live in and a garage is where you park your car. loop d loop! already played by everyone…ha, ha, ha

>were back with a couple quick and sneaky mixes of >rave is king< for early 2009, we just didnt think you had enough of this anthem last year. first up on the take is atls blog wonderkid le castle vania who keeps things pretty close to the original but just a little heavier and a lot more twisted vocoder effects on the vocals. on the flip we have berlins nhan & taan with their electro boogie mix. on first listen the n&t mix sounds like a banger of a downtempo head-nodder but if come up into some serious electro madness primes for the most discerning djs with a flair for the old school. again we remind you, rave is still king !!! coco machete team<

nice price deal !!! >central heating< in 3 styles! not just a remix, but 2 reinterpretations in drum n bass and dubstep team up with the rockin original to spread even more heat!
