with his new maxi on cocoon, guy gerber, our man for the big emotional moments on the dancefloor, will make our eyes shine bright in christmas anticipation. after releases for his own label supplement facts, the club hits >sea of sand<, >belly dancing< and not to forget, his album debut >late bloomers<, the tel-aviv-based gerber could be found rightly in top positions in many newcomer listings in the past year. 2008 was a little more calm for him, but with >timing<, being just in time for the final, he again sets new standards in linking harmony with a hedonistic state of emergency. while >timing< pleases us like a nocturnal-hypnotic romance in between a disco bassline, >age of love< flair and winterly sleigh bells, >guilty pleasures< takes back this playful love of details to the benefit of a tropical-dense percussive dub, however without appearing less mandatory on the dancefloor. consequently, gerber will be playing together with sven väth at christmas eve in the cocoonclub frankfurt

after having a small break, now the label founders enliven deep acoustics strikes back with a minimal tech funk double- tracker. ruled by an picked oriental basslineand arabic voices and percussions they created a straight forward dance machine.side b comeswith a remix by marek hemmann with his real own style, he has also shown on the debut release elm001. don’t forget the summer…

in the huge world of >various artists< this is the one you will absolutely remember ! on the side a pizeta is the track of this ep. a melody you cant surely forget and will make you dance. in the jungle of ethno-folk, it s the massive one! a great clarinet theme is followed by tech house minimal rhythm and a nice bassline. on the side b1 we have the promising producer federico grazzini who is known for his last ep on >aloe< played by all the big names of the moment. for this ep he delivers another dancefloor bomb. already played by marco carola at dc10 this summer. the b2 is a real b2, more deep and good for the warm up. arnaud le texier (safari electronique) & emmanuel ternois (children of tomorrow) close this ep with a sensual deep house modern.

another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

the young band cours de performance presents us their debut - release on phonothek. its called one! this varied and extremely good produced record tunes in the club season with a beat of a kettledrum. certainly you hear the influence of the three guys - berlin! the result is a super functional ep, which is played from friday until monday. hammerfall charmed with the warm synthie and the oily clap, which even let the crowd freaks out. white walls the fantastic hands up track, which you never will forget. the amazing song you are thee is definitely produced for the peak time and shakes the sound system with a playful kick. petre inspirescus trash is a small homage to sakadat, but the guys show us how to get more groove from the metaphysical - bomb. rise, listen and start to dance. were excited to hear more of course de performance

essential tech-house interpretation of the jazz standard! tip ! at the core of >take five< is a warm, fluttering piano loop that wouldnt sound out of place on a nina simone record. around these rich, faintly jazzy chords, jona builds a thrillingly direct, percussive track which nods to the passion and polish of classic 90s house music. a shuffling snare pattern and a tough, buoyant kickdrum combine with the keys to give the dancefloor a workout it wont forget. this is smart, optimistic stuff from jona, a ready-made soundtrack for hands in the air at late summers parties. >sunset< is a darker but no less seductive affair. its skeleton is a supple, minimalist groove, undercut with a raw, rangy bassline, and topped by tight snares and a steady, sibilant rush of hi-hats.

release number 6 from the mysterious peacemaker label!!

after the returning of swr in may 2008 with the >never forget ep< swr strikes back just 1 month later with the next release: >i stay hard<. techno artist sven wittekind stays for hard techno like no other artist in europe, since 2001 he brings his supporters worldwide the hard & innovative techno sound in their recordcases. he would never change to minimal like the others: he stays hard, fresh & innovative in what he is doing! both tracks on this release are well done, with a good feeling for the dancefloor, but also for listening at home or in the car. enjoy the nightflight and stay hard

ealier support by chloe, giles smith and karotte. maik loewen was already infected by musiccalitis in early years. and there was also his increasing fascination for beats. it did not take long till he started playing the drums and synthesizer. with the tb 303 being one of his first instruments he immediately became addicted to electronic sounds and became quite skilled in using these new devices in his own productions. during his apprenticeship at the recording studios he produced his first tracks. at the same time he started his collaboration with oliver hacke and gabriel ananda. they supported him to get his first record deals. following his first releases on tonsport >arnika ep<, karmarouge >mezcal ep< and trapez >one year one month< and remix projects for walter dahn und jorge gebauhr, his latest ep on poikerflat >even if you sleep<, maik finally appears on karmarouge: the >backcountry camping ep<. his deep understanding for functional sounds and extremly pumping beats, combined with the right mixture of genius and insanity, enables mike to playfully produce upfront club-compatible music. >i dont like musical restrictions, what counts is the feeling of the moment, expressed in acoustic waves<. a perfect mixture that metamorphoses the dancefloor into a seething gladiators arena and wich become one of this genius minimal techno anthems who seems to fly higher more and more. not to forget the huge portion of groovy funkiness. the three tracks on the ep nicely explore different nuances of maik loewens present sound

scottie b returns mixing 80s party rap classics, bhangra beats, a well-known dubstep track, an even better-known pop idol, and that shouty guy from atlanta who seems to end up on a lot of bmore tracks. forget all the fakers & half-steppers!

our fergie seems to have been around for while now, yet at 28, we forget that he was just a lad when he began the amazing journey, that, upto now, he is still riding. his productions are goin from strength to strength - massive support on this absolute corker of a record - respect to the wee fella from larne

broken rules is a busy producer. this year he has hit more labels then any other hard industrial techno producer in the usa. appearing on labels such as men in motion, industrial movement, the third movement, monoid, compressed. here on industrial strength he comes with e mixture between brutal hard techno and hardcore

playlisted by many of the usual suspects. beautiful vocals by mija permanto will certainly wont let you forget those amazing sunrises. on the remix front you will find two great remixes by powerhouse and filthy rich with a more housy big room feel to it.

big with c-rock, ben watt, agoria, tiefschwarz, mike monday, shinedoe, miss jools, 3 channels, fabrice lig,…! estroe and zoëxenia already teamed up for connaisseurs compilation grand cru 2007 with their wonderful track >dont forget<. this time the ladies share a split ep with one original track and one remix of both. estroes >driven< was already a big success on connaisseur supérieur at the beginning of this year and found its way on some important compilations and cd-mixes like ellen alliens fabric mix. beside her production activities, estroe is a remarkable and stylistically confident dj. famous in the netherlands, but also slowly recognized outside her home country. zoëxenia is a singer and songwriter since her teenage years. her impressing presence combined with her soulful voice made her succeed at the finals of diesel u-music benelux as well as at grote prijs van nederland in 2004. but not only singing is her passion. when she was infected by house music she began to develop her own electronic style as a producer, which ended in her first release on artminimal in spring 2007. more releases on remote area will follow soon

summer mega-ton-bomb – sure shot!! balearic is a word which few people really understand. it can mean whatever you want it to mean, but it has always been vaguely associated with ibiza, hippies, deep tropical dance music, and british football hooligans who grew hair, showered less, and became djs. but forget those 90s british for now, there that feels better! with this special release, which we have kept quarantined on its own tuning spork extra label, we are bringing you that balearic vibe with a deep and dubby 00s house music twist. and for us, this is the record of the summer. so prepare yourself for a massive collaboration project from the social beings. this is not some duo youve never heard of, in fact its label boss jay haze (fuckpony / bearback / krak street boyz) and his friend, modern day techno legend ricardo villalobos… one piece of information which is true, unlike those ones, is that haze and villalobos are now huge figures in the house and techno world. and they are indeed social beings

this is 150 percent koletzki !! everything from minimal dancefloor-hits to melodic pop techno, its here - and, of course, on the highest of standards. oliver sat down with many befriended artists like his partner from flash recordings florian meindl, kiki from bpitch control, ziggy kinder and kling klong label owner martin eyerer to produce this diverse albu

julio navas and david amo (main responsibles) of fresco records strike alone again. if you remember memory cell, electronic electro, pressure, alto voltaje or open your eyes, you will not forget this new release. every time they join forces with other producers they create big tracks but when they work alone their imagination flows to other limits modelling other ways to understand and feel the electronic house music. pamtomaket and allioli are 2 very popular courses from catalonia (barcelona), they want to do a tribute to their country doing 2 really amazing tracks !!! >pamtomaket<: a big big big bassline makes the dancefloor go crazy. b-side >allioli<: overwhelming track. basic instincts make this track have the best results with people

essential compilation! already played by sven väth, karotte, laurent garnier, jimpster,…. >grand cru< is a term used in the wine business and normally denominates a special wine, which is made from the best grapes of both one wine-producing area and one vintage. the stylistic diversities featured on this compilation arent less refined and versatile. at the same time this compilation boasts of a representative selection of artists who already released on connaisseur as well as up-andcoming new members of our artist pool. this selection is the beginning of a periodical series which will be released on a yearly basis. apart from afrilounge coming along with an elegantly lowered house groove, another artist who has already released on connaisseur, surely jochen trappe will be setting the benchmark with his glitch-rock-tech track. there are more familiar faces to be encountered – for example daso teaming up with his ingenious partner pawas. they both make even the most lame couch potato taste their own very special beaujolais and freak out on the dancefloor - blood , sweat and tears!

incl ultrahot minimal acidic lazy fat people remix

supported by: sven väth, steve bug, mike monday, miss jools, karotte, satoshi tomie !! childhoods end is a massively bouncing detroit-influenced tune with a dominating chord theme you will not forget. this track has a story: when we received the first version almost one year ago, we already knew this could be a big one, because of the wonderful chord theme. however, we weren t completely convinced by the mix down. the improvement of this tune became a mental trip for pele. by producing his final version, he acquired so many skills, that with this track he has left his fledging stages – which is why this production is called childhood s end

this ep is pure classic disco dj weapon. a side is from probably the best known disco group of all time, can you guess who? but forget those cheesy vocals! b side is truly classic sounds from 1780 and 1890! but they re beautiful and funky, whats to say? 126 bpm plus 95, and 89 bpm. watch the dancers all go crazy. music you just cant make on a laptop, and thats why its so good

wherever there is a need for bumping house music and kids are dancing to boring grooves, you call shyza minelli. she returns to tuning spork after way too long with two dancefloor bombs that are primed and ready to explode on impact at clubs worldwide. for this release shyza is bringing you a 12 with two different flavours, one on each side. set the limit is the a and haunting me is the b. set the limit is 9 minutes of rippling stuttering unadulterated funk that only tuning spork can give you. haunting me is the b side on this sick 12, but if you were hoping to catch your breath after the a side then you can forget it, this is another crazy trip into nightclub psychosis ! big with ricardo villalobos, mac schneider, dan curtin, luciano !!

played: steve bug, djulz, a. schneider, jay haze, dan curtin – huge hit ! moon harbour has good news for you: a new artist joining our family – welcome samim! after big success with his projects >samim & michal< and >fuckpony< (together with jay haze) he debuts on moon harbour with his 3-track-ep. the bass line of -eco- (b1) paces through deep frequencies as samim throws in sharpedged snares, wistful dub-synths and an elusive vocalsample: this track is so catchy that it deserves the rare honour of a long b-side – its strong vibe just would have swallowed up any other tune accompanying it. skks (a1) will get you from a different point of view: forget about dub and minimalism, this one is a rhythmical display of fireworks. samim goes in for the full, tictac go the claps and vocal-samples jeer and jiggle everywhere. this track got guts, man!..

after his successful release on pakkas levyt, samuli brings us another highly slamming techno ep. forget trance, never mind house, this is techno in it s most funky form . marko laine remix is more straight forward, with an old school attitude
