(gute luft) leaves a soothing emotional residue. taken as a whole, gute luft sounds like a continuation rather than a culmination of thomas fehlmanns rich career. hes not out of ideas yet. in fact, they just keep getting more interesting. – resident advisor

>united by hardness<, supreme collaboration between the stunned guys & art of fighters, official 2010 anthem of the wellknown united hardcore forces party, is finally out now on a wonderful picture disc.
the sound of the track is powerful and effective, the middle break is built up on a slow tempo hardcore kick drum, which takes you into the massive floorfiller melody. the lyrics speak for themselves!

merkesdir are proud to present komaton. komaton are two young austrian sound artists living in vienna and linz. always focusing on their passion to touch and move the body and soul of their audience, they express their musical sentiments through the utter infinities of electronic sounds without compromise.

baby ford and zip continue a fruitful partnership with some uber cool, super deep minimal techno on pal sl records. >clean hands< sees a hushed and soulful vocal wafting over atmospheric synth scratches, ultra low end bass and deft high end clicks and shuffles. >for how long< is even more reduced, letting the space between the sparse sounds say as much as the sounds themselves. truly unique sounds from this talented pair.

supported by:2000 and one, adam beyer, bart skils, booka shade, dj madskillz, dubfire, marco bailey, marco carola, oxia, pete tong, riva starr, sebastien leger, solomun, yousef. >carambolo< is a true kaiserdisco tune, working with vocals and merry go around sounds, but special for this track is its drumming in the in-between of beats!&#8232,,,,we have lost count of the numerous small drum digits they have added, but you can be sure the kaiserdiscos have done it with full dedication and passion and the music seems to flow out of them like the blood and sweat circulating through the veins of the dancer.&#8232,,,,we dont want to forget the scream of an indian at some stage in this track...

summer is on the horizon, peeps. its time to pump up those sounds. so open your box as sexonwax returns to the source. staying true to our name, our essence. presenting special vinyl ep for your aural excitement only. first up is the massive toon of four-track goodness, paralexia. feel our groove. really, what could be sexier? despite the name there can be no misapprehension of whats going on here. the patterns of omids paralexia see fractal flurries of melody sprinkled with insane piano tinkles. these ivories are driven upwards by solid synth gold and old skool drum builds. with a whirling breakdown that feels like a waterfall crashing over your head. it all adds up to a proper prolonged derangement of the senses. so much so that the party people of miami went ballistic when it was promod by sos during their set at dj mags pool party. check the link. show us yer shimmy! cos bites without teeth is more of a builder, folks. and if the beats dont grab n shake you in their grimy grip, then the wonky bass will. claps like a funker. phases like a wrong ‘un. builds like a bastardo. its food for thought… a bonus here from sexonwaxs popular april release in the form of lilly and poppy. except this time mr o brings a vinyl dub to the table: a reliable beauty with a dramatic and yet delicate bouquet >du jour<. in fact, its almost as epic as >the epic<! so there you go, guys. paralexia is a real package. boasting more beef than argentina, more heat than technotonics and more eruptions than iceland. all of em sure-fire floor shakers with an ultra-modern/vintage sound, best served with sunshine and a smile. feeeel the difference.

the a-side holds a hard-hitting, percussive techno-house hybrid that sounds a bit like an air frog production but features additional cool vocal licks on top. b-side has a basic, bass-heavy, pouding tech-house groove with strong detroit sound influences. strong!

james holden may not be a household name, but to fans of adventurous, progressive electronic sounds, the british techno sorcerer and psychedelic shaman is renowned as a genius. so revered are his talents that he has been tapped to remix some of pop music most eminent stars, including madonna, depeche mode, & britney spears, though as this mix demonstrates, his tastes tend more to the cerebral than those associations suggest. head of the zeitgeist-defining label border community which boasts fellow forward thinkers nathan fake & extrawelt on its roster, holden can count himself amongst that very modern breed of dj with a special knack for layering the most surprising of records with an unparalleled musical ear. his status as a free-spirit unconstrained by genre or scene is now championed by independent stalwart !k7, who have called up holden to deliver the next installment in their definitive mix series dj-kicks. holdens masterfully eclectic mix includes the first solo holden single in four years >triangle folds<, and his exclusive previously unreleased remix of mogwais >the sun smells too loud<.

>angles< stretches guitar strings like taffy through a forest of finger snaps and slow-motion electro shudder, with a cycling chorus teasing out medieval melodies. >materials< is quicker of spirit, with a rippling pulse played out on muted jazz drums, shuttling between blocked piano chords and silvery oscillators and weaving an irresistible groove. its beautiful, unexpected and absorbing music-and theres nothing else out there that sounds like it.

patch park is no stranger to be as one, having released one of its greatest tracks of last year, 7 miles. now its time for oddity to ignites the floors, a masterpiece from patch, delivering it in be as one style. with a groovy techno bass line and the freaky 90s sounds patch park is breaking the market again with another summer anthem. swiss techno lord deetron makes his second appeareance on be as one with his remix to patchs original. techno for the morning, druggy and twisted!

percussive elements slowly but surely set the tracks in motion. the fist peak is followed by a spooky collage of bizarre sounds and atmospherics, held together securely by the reliably straight house beat! enjoy!

mozaics trembles with excitement, when the low kick starts and draws in electronic sounds. &#8232,,extrawelt fulfil their promise here of sneaking >electronic sounds< into trax that are made for the dance floor.&#8232,, >mozaik< is a track that works with different genres of music, piano chords meet acid basslines meet distorted sounds ala ricardo tobar.

big with mihalis safras, piemont, afrilounge, phonique, someone else, anthony collins, stephan bodzin!! slim, sporty and very casual- thats the way in which current number 18 on acker records sneaks into listeners ears and hereby wonderfully illustrates the much longed for beginning of the open air season in europe. other than the name justin side implies, its even two dudes from denmark who conjure up this unusual voodoo. bedded on a gently shaking groove and larded with tropical warm percussion and lots of vocals, the magic takes effect immediately but still unobtrusively. beside the original mix, the groove of the a-side includes a minimal club mix by mister mollono.bass that creates rather nightly associations in its straightforward manner. on the flipside he pulls out some other stops of his sound repertoire and calls the sunbathed result very appropriately his summer mix. last but not least the unmistakable, humorous organ sounds of rundfunk3000 represent the unique, local mecklenburg version of a mighty voodoo magic.

much awaited return to lost trax! scsi-av has been a well respected electro and techno label since it was born in september 2008. almost 12 years later and after a short break scsi is back with a classy detroit techno record which has been sat in the vaults for quite some time waiting patiently to be released. as the second part of the lost trax series. expect deep bass, booming 808 kicks and carl craig-esque sounding strings. the production on both sides of this record is amazing showing the digital generation that analogue kit still sounds supreme. the lost trax series is a project for producers who have inspired the label to record something special and release anonymously as we dont believe its necessary to sell music on the strength of a specific artists reputation.

the third release from one records, comes from one half of the backbone to the project, subb-an, one the uks finest young talents who delivers an anthemic package with >soul skool<. >soul skool< is unapologetically gripping, opening with moody atmospheric keys before settling into an iconic bassline, and teasing with the vintage sounds of early house vocals and rasping brass instruments. this is the distinctly vivacious sound of subb-an, matched with an equally alluring shaun reeves remix.

second part in blue vinyl , incl four amazing floorstomper from silent servant, regis & female.... sounds great, promise

technopassion presents a single from george le nagelaux that is a musical stroke of genius: >das dunkel spricht< (the darkness speaks), a lovely composition of dreamily-dark synthesizer sounds which meld perfectly harmonic with a contemplative vocal. the austrian master remains true to the techno spirit and combines the ensemble with a irresistible, hard as bone bassline and a solid pumping groove. the original mix is the perfect tune for turning the dancefloor into a boiling pot during the prime time. the dub version is slower, but not less driving and will enjoy great popularity among the devotees of smooth sounds.

here comes edwards follow-up ep. this time he goes a slightly deeper and more direct. it might be the purest music we ve ever heard from the berlin-based producer. all the crazy clubgigs are manifested into hi music now. of course still with the classical edward style somewhere between dark minimal and trancy deephouse aesthetics. >bush of crows< is somewhat of a siginature edward track. but a very rough one this time. with a comfortable paranoia, this track unfolds itself into a little peak time extravaganza. on the flip, he cools everything down with a warm house tune called >the ghetto< and he adds a certain >blockparty romantic< to it... b2. is once again one of those more minimal edward tracks were he masters to be on point with just the core essence o sounds. edward remains a real romantic for sure...

this is a well-rounded compilation of material from various plan b recordings artists. up first is dakini9s remix of >swine<, a track originally made by spider & lola. this is a deep, minimal techno track, with squealing pigs and industrial sounds which were recorded in pig slaughter houses and have been layered throughout the track. second up is courages >mildred< track. this is one of those tracks that just makes you want to dance, period. this is from his >feast or famine ep<, which will be coming out later this year. the third track is from detroits very own bileebob (underground resistance, detroit grand pubahs), who teams up with his agriculture partner, marshallito. here we have an amazing array of driving drumbeats and chaotic synth work that blends perfectly together for an infectious, grooving dance floor banger! the final track is from dj spider: a deep house track, with a funky bass line, nice synth work and a good driving beat. this house track completes the compilation and also gives you a taste of the diversity of this labels sound.

what first started with an never-ending afterparty on a cold cold winter night, ended up in skatebards first ep for luna flicks. two vodka shots later and we have a salute to the old sounds of chicago!

tbd first made a noteworthy noise with the release of >what is this?<, their 2009 debut that found favor with critics, djs and audiences for both its seditious take on dance music – and avoidance of worn-out conventions – and sheer sublimity. it was fitting success for an outfit founded by two musicians who, bored by the sounds around them, set out to >create something new, fresh and not confined by restrictive genre pigeonholing.< on the heels of that pitch-perfect release, as well as remixes for luminaries including permanent vacation, runaway, 2020 soundsystem and populette, to name just a few, tbd – comprising rong musics lee douglas and ex-!!!/outhud bassist and producer justin vandervolgen – is back with a 12 inch of idiosyncratic new music.

with the party sounds still emanating loud and proud from room 4 of the dusty house, label chiefs edwin and joris take a trip back to hq to welcome ukrainian duo io, for their debut release on rejected. no nonsense, funk fueled, vibing tech- house.

mowars 6th release is delivered by label boss franco cangelli, 2 solid deep techno cuts accompanied by an exquisite mlz treatment. >paper cut< is a smooth and hypnotizing dubbed out techno track for the deeper dancefloor moments. stripped down and most efficient, paper cuts intoxicating dreamy pad sucks you in from the start and gets you hooked on the dubby chords and an addictive bassline. simplicity and solid deepness!
>when they come< on the other hand is a darker affair with ominous pads and fierce kickdrums backed up by deep basses and funky schizoid sounds. dark detroitish techno for brainwashed dancefloors. mlz (half of pendle coven), turns paper cut into a darker cut. dark acidic basslines, a pinch of robert hood mixed with the deep dubby side of the original. very captivating until the very end of the track. another strong mowar cut!

urgent, throbbing rhythms, which almost imperceptibly increase into a subtle wall of sound: the tracks on todd bodines new ep develop a hypnotic character, stolen away into a dark pulsating sound field which exactly match the title of the a-side: >dark matter<. the increasingly dense electric field mixes with sparse siren sounds that create their own unique attraction. the same qualities infuse >space and stop< on the b-side, with equally unexpected musical power surges. these are tracks that will drag the dance floor abruptly from its spell in the first few seconds, while simultaneously adding a very special drive and intensity. all in all, todd bodine proves again with his new ep - the first release after his highly successful album, >forms< – his unique sense of style, gained over almost ten years of production experience.

we love the way of leeks experimenting with sounds, some are quite edgy others are electronic sounding and not necessarily pleasing sounds as we get them in nearly every production these days. >qwerty< for example does not subdue to the daily routine of >todays techno< but moves upright and proudly. ever listened to jeff mills? you will then understand a bit about whats going on here.&#8232,,,,,

>when it comes to music most women prefer 12 inches - you keep that in mind next time with your laptop!< this record is raw and pure, just some nice handmade drums, a fat moogbass, some dark efx sounds and the message. this record is published with the friendly permission of the speaker.

first on decks.de! mitja prinz, one of the most successful djs in berlin, with his own series of events yes in the watergate, strikes back with his next awesome release >bosco ep< on aspekt records. the new great 4 track ep includes the tracks bosco, back in the day, mutu and bash. on side a you can expect fresh house with a hint of groovy jazz elements. tangy tech-house on side b, sounds tempting and has charm, groove and sex appeal. no wonder that the new aspekt release is not matchable with one of the previous records once again. moreover its worth it to hear!
supported by anja schneider, sebastian roya, patrick bateman, paco osuna, richie hawtin,...

with ‚into the great wide yonder trentemøller is not only exploring new moody and atmospheric universes, but combines his sense for glorious soundscapes with a firm melodic and tonal touch. the original chord progressions and feel for melodies is fundamental to him, and thats also the reason why most of the instruments are played by trentemøller himself on this album. >i like the possibility to be surprised that chords and melodies change into something new. the music that i like most lets the themes and sounds come back in different disguises<. the danish multi instrumentalist and producer shows an unexpected talent for finding vocalists that fit the mood of his songs. the first single of the album, the beautifully tender >sycamore feeling<, featuring marie fisker, is a typical highlight

a tribute and modern approach to the good old days of techno. no fashionable sounds just good old fashion straight up techno.

volume 5 of the legendary series. the influential electronic label mille plateaux kickstarts its newest chapter with its flagship: a new edition of the legendary clicks & cuts compilation series, that in fact named its own genre. volume 5.0 (subtitled >paradigm shift<) features a totally new generation of young artists giving a 360 degree view on fresh glitch sounds: from minimal clicks to idm-/dub-ish tracks via ambient and sound art to the 2 >evac< tracks going to the artcore and organic extremes. each song has its own distinct character, and with a significantly higher amount in melodic and compository details than its predecessors, this is probably the most musically substantial clicks & cuts compilation ever.
comes with free cd copy of the release and discount voucher for other mille plateaux items.

usa based label steps in time are back with a 3 track release from digisonic, a relative newcomer to the scene but is about to make major moves if these tracks are anything to go by. deep, gritty and hard dubstep akin to the sounds of datsik or excision, dont sleep on this one.

it is no secret that the 1980s was probably one of the best decades. 1986 was in particular a very memorable and historic year across the world. it also happens to be the year delete was born and the name of the groove laden a-side. >1986< does not boast any sci-fi effects or other worldly sounds, it does however have one of the catchiest bass lines out there. >our generation< pours a real telltale chicago house vibe, complete with derrick carter style vocals and a bone-chillingly infectious four-note pad melody. this is eyes closed, hands in the air euphoric house. the 12 inch rounds out with delete still showcasing his knack for creating funky bass lines with, >lunchbox<. this number runs a bit deeper than the first two tracks, as it is rolled along by little percussion edits and snippets that evoke a more subtle laid-back vibe.
