dont be afraid is a dual format vinyl / digital label championing underground uk house and techno music. the first 4 releases will be eps from semtek, with remixes from a range of talented, original and respected producers. on dba001 semtek combines elements of his many musical influences, with the skills he has carefully honed over time. the ep kicks off with the deep housey feel of bells, before moving on to the tracky breakbeat undertones of key, while the old skool vibe of village completes the package. exclusive to the vinyl is the warped acid dancefloor cut tower, inspired by the sound of early belgian techno and the dance music of legendary frankfurt clubs like dorian grey.

charity compilation part 2 with tracks by martin eyerer, ds (daniel steinberg), tube & berger, format b! the dance music scene frequently uses african influenced music and rhythm. sampling vocals and percussions of african origin often help djs to achieve huge success with their tracks. meanwhile the political situation throughout the world is reaching an ever-growing imbalance from which the poorest are made to suffer. especially in africa, children have it very hard. they are growing up in an environment that offers poor resources and are exposed to a life of inhuman circumstances. no education, no medical care and worst of all, not enough to eat. in order to support these children and to aid their fight against poverty, the charity project >it began in africa< was set up by juliet sikora and tube & berger. together with other artists from the dance music scene they want to help raise money for the organization the african childrens choir. in cooperation with the african childrens choir, 18 artists made their own interpretations of the original songs from the african childrens choir. all profits made from the sale of this compilation will be donated to the choir and their further projects, i.e. building schemes, the founding of nurseries, and schools to help children get away from a life on the streets. >with this project we sincerely hope to be able to support the children of africa and empower them so that one day they will be able to help themselves.<

detroit, 1993. the burden brothers, known for their octave one project and 430west record label, start a new sub label called direct beat. it was created to release the techno electro sounds of inner city detroit. in 1995 the label was in full effect and released music produced by friends such as tommy hamilton, keith tucker, mad mike banks, will web and them self.
now 15 years later we know that direct beat was one of the big influences on how electro and techno is today. together with underground resistance, axis, m-plant in detroit and some like minded people in europe and artists such as drexciya, aphex twin, autechre and dopplereffekt it changed the way people looked at techno... it broke away from the dominant 4/4 kick and brought back the funk and emotion that disappeared once house and techno became popular and mainstream music in the early 90s.
we are happy to bring back direct beat records by making some of its classics available for a new generation. this is a part of techno music history we may not forget about! especially in these days that people consume more and more of the format tracks. this shows that emotion, passion and energy creates much more then just a dj tool... it creates tracks that become part of peoples life! and not for just one or two months in your i-pod... but for the rest of your life in your record collection! timeless classic collection... must have!

fresh outa detroit comes the first release on beretta music sub label beretta red. a four track compilation featuring respected artists arthur oskan, third ear and kanzleramts dennis desantis, and label head honcho brian kage. bear trax ep vol 1 is a collection of luscious detroit inspired techno jams aimed firmly at the dancefloor. strictly limited to 200 copies, and if thats not enough comes on appropriately enough tasty red vinyl. it also comes with a code to download all tracks free in digital format... which we presume must be for the girlfriends ipod.

nudisco are back! after several remixes and singles on label like yellow tail, poker flat, great stuff and opossum we are really proud to start our new label city lights music (clm) with this massive track called >violet<.
supported by: gregor tresher, mihalis safras, koen groenveld, made for radio, nic fanciulli, super flu, reset robot, renato cohen, wehbba, alex kenji, emerson, siwell, noir, flavio diaz, gel abril, aki bergen, jacob hilden (format b), helmut dubnitzky, joy kitikonti, graham sahara, john acquaviva, sian and many more.

the second record >trapez 100 pt2< features a great dynamic track by dominik eulberg, and two remixes, one by break 3000 of oliver hackes legendary trapez track >der vampir von düsseldorf< and the other by the famous berlin duo format:b of florian meindls hit track >blast<. welcome back to the trapez world. dominik eulberg released stunning records on trapez in the past: >gasthof zum satten bass< was a huge hit and also >adler< createda waves of enthusiasm. with his exclusive track >ambivalent< for the trapez 100 release he refers to the days when techno was defined through its drive and enormous dynamic. >ambivalent< is exactly such a pounding driving track with a big synth joining in that creates joy and a great rush. mr eulberg was in a really good mood when he finished this track and we expect it to be played on many big raves. >der vampir von düsseldorf< (eng. the vampire from duesseldorf) is a legendary track, we released without any writing on the etiquette and just communicated by word. very few people knew that oliver hacke produced it and a lot of people like michael mayer and richi hawtin played the limited 12 inch a lot. now you get a very cool and fantastic, monumental, grinding remix by dirt crew records label owner break 3000. the format:b remix of florian meindls slammer >blast< is a winner. they manage to walk the fine line between techno and minimal by using sounds from mystery movies and funky beat patters, as well as slow down beats which create funky breaks and interludes that provide the original with a more trippy and rhythmic side.

new m>o>s sublabel.... chicago skyway first released this beauty on eargasmic (digital onlyl) and the man behind m>o>s has done the right thing and pressed it on our favorite format. 3 versions including a clever edit from aroy dee... tip top.

more bang for your buck here, with this first double header on the label. offering up something a little diffrent to the normal original and >remix< format, we give you two slammin cuts from two label faves here at method. espen >small talk< is a summery slice of melodic , but still driving, house music.. while alex costa >fortuna< offers a contrasting darker techy take down the melody route!

loved by jennifer cardini, dubfire, chris liebing, mihalis safras, dj hell, florian meindl!! jakob hilden is one half of format b and part of the project red robin & jakob hilden which was very successful on trapez ltd. jakobs new solo project involves his vocals and band skills from the past which he has fusedhere with the production skills he has earned from format b productions. what we get with the a side track >glamouflage< is a cool and mighty organ grinder with vocals by jakob hilden using catchy lyrics. less minimal and a big hit. the b-side is called >ground n pound< and moves like a rattlesnake with its strong driving percussion.

tracks by mark trophy & sonny wharton and butch!!

deepgroove aka grayson shipley & lee pattison from bristol have crafted their skills at venues like bristols seminal lakota, emerging with a sound that incorporates a hefty measure of eclecticism within a framework of deep and twisted tribal grooves. never fearing to tread a different path when it comes to firing a crowd, their performances marry a healthy degree of contempt for convention, to an obvious reverence for the original precepts of house music. using the 4-deck format, not as a tool for ostentatious displays of mixing prowess, but as a template for experimentation, deepgroove throw everything at the crowd, embarking on sonic voyages that range from the sultry to the surreal, with the funk never being too far from the surface. coming from a strong musical background growing up around jazz musicians in west london, jamie anderson also had a love for electronic music and the art of mixing records which has been with him ever since the early electro and hip hop days

optimo take on one of the hottest bands around florence & the machine. supplying two remixes which will never be released on any other format. their remix is sub heavy techno workout with a bassline akin to one of ewan pearsons finest moments. watch the terror in the crowd as this is unleashed! limited copies... get this while you can

stone cold classic funky disco floor filler thats stood the test of time. first time ever on 12inch!!! taken from the hard to find self titled lp by tommy stewart, bump & hustle music is the definitive disco funk party anthem. it was recorded in 1976 in atlanta, georgia, and since then the lp has found itself in the play boxes of soul, funk and jazz djs alike. however, its not until now that this amazing song has finally made it onto the preferred format of dance djs the world over – the 45rpm 12inch single. in 1976 tommy stewart was a busy man, working as an arranger, producer, performer and writer for a host of soul and rnb artists. the lp made for abraxas records was the first to go directly under his name, and although it failed to take off locally, the lp soon became known by djs across the world primarily for the club smash bump & hustle music. as it happens that song in particular almost didnt exist but for tommy needing to come up with something quick in order to fill in a gap in the album. conceived and recorded on the spur of the moment, and with backing vocals by isaac hayes singers hot buttered soul overdubbed later, its a superb example of rhythmic simplicity blended with soulful, catchy harmonies. its just impossible to listen to bump & hustle music without a broad smile coming to your face, and when played loud in a club, its impossible not to dance!

reissue of explorers super rare and hugely in demand self titled explorer lp. originally released in 1982 on the tiny german label x recordings, and never available in any format other than vinyl, this lp is packed with sought after gems such as megawar, no. 8 and the must have enjaw j which features highly on many a cosmic djs wants list. written and produced in germany by multi instrumentalist tony carey after he left stadium rockers rainbow and before his reincarnation as revered prog rock outfit planet p project, this obscure album has become a classic on the cosmic disco scene and an extremely sought after piece of vinyl.

limited backstock !!! brand new series on minus with exclusive tracks by plastikman, dubfire, jpls, heartthrob, gaiser and marc houle. of the continuing themes found throughout the music released on minus, one constant exploration is the relationship between sound and silence. within the stripped down but dimensional outcome there exists a polarity that is neither controlled nor accidental, where life imitates art in between the notes. the act of finding inspiration from a sonic molecule or the inaudible space around that element is the nature of expansion & contraction. limited edition double pack vinyl format features a specially embossed sleeve and black/white vinyl, reflecting the duality of the expansion & contraction concept.
