krazy bladhead remixed the noisy duo ddamage, the funky duo outlines and met the brooklyn rapper tes, signed on lex/warp. tes featuring on >crazy moth3f2ck8z<, extract of krazy bladhead?s second ep >dry guillotine<, comfirmed ed banger?s hip hop turning point. just like sebastian, justice or dj mehdi, krazy baldhead became one of the mainstays of the label. he obviously was part of the >ed rec vol. ii< adventure, with his freezing >strings of death<, and we saw him again on the last compilation of the label, >ed rec vol. iii< with the spaced out >no cow, no pow<.

slipping sliding bleeping chirping…the donk boys are well know for their innovative, freaky beats. the swedish duo have appeared on a multitude of great labels like frankie, floppy funk, trapez and kreatur. it was only a matter of time before they ran into the crew at dirtybird in san francisco. these three prime cuts are a little jazzy, a little odd, a little caveman, and a lot of fun. they fit in with jackin house and minimal techno just the same and will all be ass-wiggling party starters for sure.

2008 saw thomass busiest, and most successful year to date. having caught the ear of bpitch control boss ellen allien, february saw him release >ride on< on the label. >seduction< followed in june and july saw him rework ellens superb >out<. 2009 looks set for more of the same, and has lunched in the finest fashion with his third bpitch control release, januarys >somewhere around tristram< alongside quartz label manager and artist okain. which, brings us to todays release >offone<. three intelligently crafted and dazzlingly effective techno cuts, >offone<, >arp< and >watch yourself<, make this a serious contender for best techno release of the year to date. dark at times, brutal at others, yet all featuring a constant spine of parisian funk.

untill last year sound and stereo were just two words that popped up every once in a while in your hifi-installation s manual. in the beginning of 2008 those two words stopped being just random: sound of stereo saw the light of day. in only a few months time they conquered the hearts of music lovers all over the world. the belgian scene also responded really well to their presence and they were noticed rather fast by the famous lektroluv label. in november their first ep came out and had massive response in belgium and abroad. one of the singles on that ep – supah dupah – is said to be played over 100 times each weekend in belgium alone . a follow-up ep is nothing more than a logic continuation of this succes. the new single heads up! is already being tracklisted by the likes of crookers and bloody beetroots. bloody beetroots liked the track so much that they decided to make a remix of it, as well as dj manaia, a portuguese wonderboy from the kuduro-surroundings of buraka som sistema. at the end of february the new ep will be presented at culture club ghent, one of belgium s most legendery clubs, where international bigshots such as 2manydjs and the glimmers had a residency. in the beginning of march the heads up! ep will be available online and in the shops. so get your rocks off, your heads up and enjoy the sound of stereo!

limited re-press of the hardstyle classic!

minimal clicky techhouse with a maximum load of groove and soul - great album!

over the last 4 years mouseville has seen eric prydz (under his cirez d moniker) deliver some truly landmark moments in music with tracks such as knockout and control freak really setting the bench mark for others to follow. here we have an equally devastating track only this time produced by paulo mojo and jim rivers - two producers whos starts have been very much on the rise over the last couple of years with both of them having produced killer tracks for labelks such as oosh, misfit and saw. the track is an absolute killer - a driving groover with its catchy vocal refrains, sharp drums and funky bassline. on the flip the eric prydz remix turns the original on its head with deep chords and pads creating a very moody yet powerful reinterpretation. big support from eric prydz, sebastian leger, john digweed, paulo mojo and steve angello

since jim rivers first release restore/future for saw recordings, the uk based producer has come on strength to strength recent signing to eric prydz globally prestigious imprint, mouseville. this new release on bedrock is testament to his relentless dedication to quality and shows no relenting or compromise

goodies from debra dolce is a tight collaboration generated at coco machete hq in spanish harlem, nyc and polished up by zero cash of television rocks, cologne. around the corner from coco hq is local hip hop studio ybp. we saw an opportunity to bring some new elements to a production with our man zero cash. the hook to goodies was recorded in new york then sent over to cologne for that magic television rocks touch to be put underneath...the result is debra dolce. the a-side is a pounding, bass driven number with the vocals cut up, stuttered and pitch shifted to maximum effect. hit the flip for the dolce mix and you get a deeper electro disco affair with more vocals, funk guitar rhythms, stabs and laser sounds all the while being driven by zcs up to the edge basslines. weve got the goodies for ya, let the goodies talk to ya.

glaswegian alex smoke aka mr. menzies, the man who helped kick start vakant in those blissfully uncorrupted early days, returns with a fresh no-frills attack since his last hanged man ep, va013, 1and half years ago. a sides whirrfless funky abrasiveness stomps heads in a way alter ego would if they were happier people and saw more sun. b1 fud paces along with sprightly spring in its step half cheeky, half roboadventure reminiscent of the early days of perlon. b2s onomatopoetic flingclunk zealously jacks for itself. it is all glory minus the glam and trans-fats. smoke, adding to the current relentless vakant onslaught, makes every reveler feel as limber as 14 year old russian gymnast

nice floating techhouse for the contemplativ moments on the floor.

massive uk techno / electro mover !! a teenage fascination with the outer reaches of contemporary music (beefheart, psychic tv, non, pharaoh saunders, the fall) and stints in various bands saw wright ditch the physics degree and return to york university to study music technology. by the start of 1992 he had made the jump from enthusiastic amateur to record his first tracks with john dalby in the local finsbury park studios in york under the guise of germ.

with the electronic justice 12inch, james t. cotton and d_marc cantu saw off another thick slab of classic chicago acid. opener >1mg< is a relentless teutonic grind, tightly constructed yet engraved with enough subversive tweaks to hint at the most experimental urges of james t. cotton_s other persona, tadd mullinix. >werkin house< and >static vision< follow close behind with the brooding squelch of a 303. and if these take us deep inside the darkest warehouse, then the title track reveals the inner depths of the artists themselves. >electronic justice< may well be 2am/fm_s manifesto, a rolling vocal creeper whose laser-beam pulses ebb and flow around a synthesized mantra: >experimental vision/ this is us, who we are/ this is our religion.< fitting words to chant, shout, or whisper in the flicker of a strobe at 2am, after all..

this summer mos ferry prod. comes up with a new two-track 12inch by dapayk solo, announcing the release of his second album >devils house< in late september. the title track on side a is already giving directions for this journey – provided that theres a proper bass response – >frickelsound< with affection to the little details, in particular with regards to the bass frequencies. but knowing dapayk thats hardly surprising, by now ... on the b side he presents >a saw attacks< - a track like a recapitulation of certain minimal elements that are around for quite a while now. but only the beginning is a typical sportive staccato theme. after a while a full-stereo sawtooth sound and a demoniac vocal sample take the lead, pushed by a strong punchy kick drum and accompanied by a sounddesign of clicks and sweeps

the recent relaunch of flux recordings, saw label boss chris finkes solo debut petrolbomb ep ripping up dancefloors worldwide. following that up is the 2nd instalment of the chris finke presents series, which showcases new material from established producers and up and coming talent. trax by agaric aka patrick skoog, chris finke, modular matt and max cooper

another fine release on winding road records! this is a debut ep from bleep district. true to their name, the 4 tracks here contain plenty of mesmerising bleeps sitting inside the slick deep house grooves youd expect from the label. the lead track, bleep of faith, is peaktime voodoo house with cool vocals, and a wicked bassline which comes as a special surprise half way through. robot claart is superdeep, hypnotic tech-house with a cheeky jamaican dub twist. when i saw you, possibly the strongest tune of the package, is a real killer. with polished production, reverse vocal licks and an ubercool bleepy bassline, this track is a contender to be a summer anthem of 2008. essential! the last track on the package, some may say, is an eccentric but irresistable hip-hop meets folk-house number. yet another winning package from winding road

dutch wizz kid estwa has landed in new york city. time to drop four on the floor and get served by his debut ep break it down released on brooklyn zoo mbc. featuring vocalist j cast & a clay and remix masters herve, detboi & chew fu, the break it down ep is a deeper journey into the saw tooth synth universe of bounce

supported by ben sims, dave clarke, steve rachmad, bart skills, dj 3000, cari lekebusch and many more.. the time is now, a new token, a new wave of mayhem for dancefloors worldwide. for 6 we have the first belgian artist on token. its been a while since we saw a release by dimitri andreas and since he released his widely well received panther ep on the highly acclaimed music man label in 2003, the mass was hungry for a new release. london based producer and blueprint legend james ruskin takes care of another interpretation for the flip side. with his recent album >the dash< on tresor, he continues his legacy. here, mr ruskin keeps the groove of the original track and gives it a bit more intimacy and funk

10 years superstition !!! finest 3 x lp package incl classical tracks and remixes from the last years.. incl thomas schumacher, humate, quazar, snitzer & mccoy, sterac, d-saw, mijk van dijk, velocity

king unique are one of the most influential dance production/dj outfits of the past 10 years, and?now the legends that are matthew roberts & matt thomas are back with a killer new single >yohkoh<. a melodic tech/prog/house (or whatever its called these days) gurn- fest of epic proportions, >yohkoh< is kus first single since their year off from the studio – a year that saw them tour their >electric< mix album across the globe, a journey that found matthew roberts marooned in a mud soaked brazilian rainforest and matt thomas cornered by tasmanian devils on a beach at midnight amongst many other (mis)adventures.

excellent electropop and acid anthem for the late night or early morning club action !! oxia blows a fresh wind into the goodlife stamp with his latest 12inch >lost memory<. time flies, its already from 2004 that we saw an oxia release on his own goodlife imprint. over those three years oxia created some smashing & big selling releases on kompakt, tsuba, confused, notorious elektro etc..

jason little only just launched his very own label called jasons mask and already the demand is huge! to celebrate the start of a very successful enterprise he drops the bomb on us ahead of the initial planning. jason collaborates with probably the most popular techno duo of hard-techno: pet duo of kne deep fame! this is a monster - do not consume under the age of 16 and do not use when submitted to a history of heart problems! these pets are hard to handle!

azucar recordings, imprint of dutch dj and producer dj madskillz founded in 2003. azucar had a couple of massive house anthems, like >caliente< and the >microfunk-pecan remixes< which had big support from the likes of roger sanchez, grant nelson, roog, erick e., gregor salto, and laidback luke. here comes the next brutal house tune with a catchy hook, ready to rock the dance floors

tekel have not released any new material for a while now…2006 saw them release their highly successful first album…one year later, after having toured europe intensively, they are back with 2 brand new cuts, which will be included in their forthcoming cd album compiling their best singles released on initial cuts since 2003. sauce madere avec toi kicks off this new ep, and its a true gem…which starts with a twisted mysterious haunting vocal that eventually leads to electro house madness… a truly unique piece of electronic dance music, bearing the distinctive tekel touch. on side b, bezut christ is a more straight forward track destined to...

deep groovin minimal stuff from berlin

tannen consists of stel, the man behind all things group therapy, and vangelis otherwise known as phatjack. stel’s discography so far has seen him produce original work and remixes for some of the hottest and most popular labels in the industry such as audiotherapy, bedrock, saw, armada, baroque, swift, oxyd and global underground. phatjack have released on labels such as nascent, baroque, deep, sog and extrema. we were confident that their production together would be tasty stuff! nick warren (head of a&r) agreed and used blackout to end his latest global underground compilation, which reached the top twenty uk compilation charts

goodlife, gigolo, hot banana or turbo are just four of the countless labels, where kiko has released some of his most eclectic productions. now it’s time for him to rock huntemann’s confused label. his sound is always trenched with electro, ebm and intergalactic disco elements - a certain ratio of retro. faces of life is no exception from this rule. saw-tooth basses a raw drumming and spaced out melodies pave the way for this rave club weapon from the outer rim of uranus. galaxia is another example for his approach towards electronic dance music – comparable to the dutch legend legowelt he simply knows about the analogue sound world. this is a big rock band shrivelled into a moog space ship

support by alexi delano, gregor tresher, monika kruse, tony rohr, holgi star, tim xavier, afrilounge, and many more.. shokh is back again. like mr. jekyll-and-hyde he presents us two floor bombs on the brand new imprint rompecabeza music. on one side the playful “snuka”, which you can brand as pure techno funk, on the other side “mr. piper”, which packs an enormous saw tooth and where mr. shokh decides to take you on a loopy journey. the berlin based booking agency rompecabeza will surely supply more big tunes on its new in-house label in the near future. rompecabeza = rambazamba

dj support: karotte, josh wink, john selway, jeff samuel, chloe, laurent garnier, sebastien leger, sian (pokerflat), simon baker (infant).... just as klaus kinski once saw the jungle, minilogue see their sound as a multifaceted and highly fecund place whose nevertheless existing and complex matrix does not show itself in any apparent order. two new tracks on wir make their way through tight, slippy and steeply ascending paths, working to see the daylight in the befogged territory of the peruvian rain forest, or they ride on rapid amazonian rivers looking for el dorado, while unknown dangers lurk behind. bushwacking beats slap through the thicket, wandering on the trails of ancient cultures, not fearing any frazzle. minilogues trademark sound already overgrows the dance-floor, wriggles over sweaty walls, into the corners and beneath the turntables, and theres quite a chance to lose oneself in that labyrinth when not paying attention to where the exit once was

dan berkson remix!!! (pokerflat / saw rec)

and so we have, >irst_te?< the word is bay area fillmore slang for >thirsty?< worthy saw it painted on a fence somewhere and made a track about it. this could be a breakout year for worthy who has already had multiple plays on radio one of his >whistler< remix and >that funkin noise< from his digital label, katabatic. >irst_te?< is bouncy and fun and it sounds kind of like it was inspired by the band in the original star wars with the alien clarinet players and the blue elephant on keys. claude vonstroke takes it darker and more techno, with an epic sounding build that could fit into almost any set

chymera, originally from ireland and temporarily based in costa rica, has been making various forms of techno, electro and electronica since 2002. he has had several low key releases in ireland to local support. in june 2006 he remixed titaniums paloozah on austrian label titanium which marked his first international release. in september 2006 the descent ep was released on an affiliate label, supreme entertainment, which was subsequently charted by carl cox at number 1. xcela from that ep was also featured in funk d voids year end top 10. also in september, a side project under the alias i am an exit was released on esteemed uk house label urban torque. the numbling ep drew great acclaim and comparisons to mathew jonson, carl craig and new order. january 2007 saw the release of midnight at the aquarium on french label mezzotinto. this received major support from the likes of laurent garnier, chris udoh, james talk, spiritcatcher and many others. upcoming in early 2007 is an ep on barcelona label tishomingo and also one on josh winks label ovum. chymeras mix of deep and melodic techno is already beginning to cause a stir on dancefloors around the world and its only the start.

>half moon tiger< ist minimal, tief und sexy mit kickender bassline. >saw & backings< ist einfach spass. retro rave mit ungesunder lebenseinstellung. >pion< bewegt sich zwischen afro rave und cosmic disco. jetzt wisst ihr bescheid

the fourth release from tiefschwarzs souvenir imprint comes from tom mangan with >mysterious ex-teacher / texas<. as one half of cass and mangan, tom mangan has released on fine records, tsuba, saw, wall of sound, loaded, front room and playtime and has remixed the likes of the scissor sisters, infadels, royksopp, daisy daisy and tiefschwarz. >mysterious ex-teacher< is eight minutes of dreamy synths floating on heavy stabs of dubby-electronic bass and >texas< is a smooth ride that fuses a disconnected spacey top-end with a simple forward-pushing b-line

played by dj hell (international deejay gigolo)... here comes the follow up to the mega-successful kookaburra 12 inch, that saw the first music-collaboration of heckmann and kauffelt, and again they explore the depth of cheap instruments and deliver crazy, funky and fresh rockin techno tracks !!

fabrizio and marco d arcangelo share their love for synth generated music. fond of electronic music since the british new wave invasion of the 80s, the two brothers were keen on embarking onto early experimental music through the aid of affordable samplers and pcs. in the early 90s they joined dj max durante in the asu project on hot trax, a hard techno venture which saw the release of three eps, culminating in their live act at the zurich energy 93. in the following years, two deliberately distinct projects were born, centuria city and automia division, dividing the techno and melodic edges

over the last two years cynic have released a steady flow of well produced, genuine, emotive-driven records, >cynicism< presents the best of the releases on 2x12 inch, with 3 extra material cuts chucked in for good measure

in 1991 and 1992 he established his position in the emerging techno scene with massiv e hits under his >frequency <, >fix< and >format< aliases. producing with juan atkins and f or kev in saundersons >kms< label, he was one of the few europeans in the original detroit techno producer scene. the story of >planet ultra< ranges back to around 1997, the track was originally to be released on the danish >multiplex< label, but somehow never saw the production status

rockin styles that you never saw, spittin rhytmes that crush. fox n wolf are oozing with attitude and they sweat out partytime

playmaker, know for his releases and remixes on labels such as stoneyboy, illegal beats, slip n slide, subliminal and prog city to name a few, and many compilations such as ministry of sounds clubbers guide. on the a-side you will find the pierre j & subway baby remix, (defected, fluential, saw, deeplay, invent) and they have been adding the well-known arrangement that does the trick! the other side gives you the original work of playmaker. this doesnt need any introduction to his fans

Ülar aasmäe aka spin science is a newcomer from estonia following the footsteps of his heroes rulers of the deep and dave storm. >fill your soul< is his first ever ep to be released. this debut ep on cabrio records is a good example of the deep and groovy sounds spin science is after. fill your soul is a nice smooth deep house track with mellow pads and techy chords. smooth vocals by elsa hill. in the remix the vocals remain, but atmospheric chords and a bass line that has more drive in it are added. tonic is a more soulful track with a pumping bass line and vocals. acid lines and saw chords make it a nice club track for sure

at the time of its original release in 1993, detroit techno producer carl craig was known mostly to a small circle of collectors in europe. his early releases on transmat and fragile had become cult classics on the techno underground. these were followed by a series of stunning releases on his co-owned retroactive label. 1993 saw carl launch his planet e label and he released an ep by 69 followed by an ep of material by art owner kirk degiorgio (future/past) and ed handley of the black dog (balil). it return it was agreed carl would record an ep for art - which became art 3. the new recordings included a dance floor stomper - >chicken noodle soup< and typically moody down-tempo grower >how the west was won< and an ambient end-piece >sleep<...
