012 seems to be jordan peak’s year! he will set up his own label and has remixes out on top class labels like 2020vision, real tone and ibadan.
>minor details< is another top production from up and coming uk producer jordan peak. with releases on quality labels like tsuba, robsoul, one records or area remote, this new release is another solid offering from the talented youngster. the original version of >three one two< is a percussive yet deep club track, whilst the julien sandre remix adds more pump with its rugged acid bassline. >got soul< is stripped down and raw, a trademark of jordan s work and thats what we like. nick lawsons remix takes the track in a smoother direction and completes this well balanced ep.

kindness throws his net in a wide arc when it comes to inspirations for his debut album: phoenix style soft-pop, 80s electro-boogie, arthur russell-tinted balearic, beatdown house, synth-pop.

the swizz house maestro who delivered last years miami monster likewise returns with a stunning two track 12 inch thats already been turning heads and sending many beards a scratching... dove is a beautiful piece of jazz house with afro roots and one hell of a groove. on the flip is >if u so< which will appeal to fans of cadenza.. hint hint ! disco tool house...or tip as they might say in berlin

after releasing some cross-eyed dance floor burners on district of corruption, little helpers and bar25, pablo roman alcalá aka beaner brought some seriously sexy bent grooves over to brooklyn for those ever lasting late night benders. his first ep for thema was a dark and tangled ode to the drug-addled prose of author, denis johnson, which was well received by a slew of various deranged djs. this time he returns to stake his place on the dance floor with four deep, fractured after-hours jams. the name mixed doubles is apt, as youll find the pairings of unlikely elements on these tracks aligning nicely… before they are slowly pried apart. of course, thats when things truly get interesting

now its time for a shot. here comes the third rauschwaren with 4 plinkeling funny tracks. with >bridge< norman really pulled off a great wrist-shot and >plinkel< certainly is no ordinary musical-snack, its more like a spicy, full-flavour gourmet-dinner the cook offers in his menu. with his track >thats my fall<, he accomplishes to hit the musical- bulls-eye and for those who missed his last shot, he generously stocks up their record-ammunition with >5 rauscher<, too make even the laziest techno-patriots shake their booty

profound audio is back at it with a smashing new 12inch from monstar - and its one of many to come from this quickly rising talent. following up his devastating debut single, put ya hands up, monstar constructs two bangers of epic proportions. both harder & bastard have been inflicting massive damage in the dance and are currently receiving heavy club & radio support from some of the top taste-makers in the game. leading off the single, monstar delivers an anthem of a track that does exactly what it says on the tin. harder encompasses xxx female vocals, heavy-hitting drums and roller coaster-style, fluctuating basslines with enough sub to have your brain shaking inside your skull - what more could you ask for? a peak-time, dancefloor destroyer thats guaranteed to send the crowd into a frenzy! on the flip, he shows no mercy once again with bastard, a full-force, tearout dubstep number that will undoubtedly shred your bassbins into pieces. battering drums roll over ferocious, wobbling bassline combinations that fire at you in hyper-speed, leaving you no choice but to brock wild! this one is absolutely rough!

thats f..king hardcore !!

oliver klein is back again! after his fabulous album release in 2011 he teamed up again with his mate kolombo to present you some new tunes. with party party they present a stunning minimalistic techno banger that we loved from the first second! the remixes are done by 2 of the hottest youngster in he scene. harvey mckay and fabian argomedo. harvey is responsible for the techno site, the most people already should know him for his great releases on drumcode, soma, saved and more. his remix is a true techno monster made for the prime time. his sound is very charismatic and thats what we really like! fabian is a really nice guy, very down to earth and absolutely focused on his music! the man from chile turned the original into a techhouse smasher! he produced a hypnotic beat, bass, groove and combined them with the fantastic vocal snippets. mr. argomedo has also just released a stunning remixed for fatboy slim & riva starr and had massive releases on label like snatch, takt records, monique musique and many more.

whilst some people claim that the number seven is lucky, some people, like duff, dont believe in luck, or if there is such a thing as luck you make your own. you cant rely on anyone else to hold your hand you know, you gotsta forge your own path, they arent called the mean streets for nothing. duff is the sort of man who not only makes his own luck (cos who else is gonna look after you?) but he keeps an eye on his bredren too. those in the neighbourhood feel safe because all is good in duffs hood, always has been, always will be, the police dont even come there, because they don’t have to, that block is on lock-down brother. though he isnt some type of machismo, over-the-top (hat back go-on sly) caricature, its just the way it is, nuthin to argue about. he has a way about him, the glare of a pitbull and the smile of don juan, dusty is his girl yep thats her real name, the name her mamma gave her on the day she was introduced to this world. the girl is fine thats for sure but what else would you expect from the honey that rides shotgun with the sonic casanova. she might call herself lucky. duff would disagree.

repress 2015 ! umami who claim to make songs not tracks come up with their first solo ep. after collaborations with aka aka and niconé and their latest remix on shaker plates they hoist sails and push their style one stop forward with >conquer the night< on a1. thats >all what you get< (a2) from umami: driving, funny but still eclectic tech house in a fresh sounding garment. the ageless synth line of >sunshine and godzilla< (b1) will drive the crowd crazy for sure and with >kukukuku< on b2 they proove that finnish lullabies also work on the dance floor. this surely tastes a lot like umami

the 12 inch features the mesmerizing vocal delivery by detroit singer/musician paul randolph. randolph is a steady member of the jazzanova live band and has been touring with them over the last few years. in his words, >i human< is a statement of the feeling you have when you create music and interact with people in a one-on-one and personal live situation, instead of ambivalent text messages and e-mails. and thats what you can hear in this wonderful piece of live recorded music. uplifting, life affirming, soul soothing and yes, human!

!! vinyl only release , 300 copies only !! > modern underground music< is a collection of tracks culled from many corners of the underground. hopefully the first in a series. i want to feature a cross-section of genres, with a slew of new artists you might not be familiar with. i guess i could go the easy route and sign tracks from c2, cvs, etc. but thats not really what b/c is about

after his debut album connecting the dots at the end of 2010 and several remixes in 2011, h.o.s.h. finally returns to diynamic music with some fresh productions and a statement: life is music is life. thats the name of his upcoming, long awaited ep, showing new sides of his verified and openminded taste in music. h.o.s.h. presents us three astonishing original takes on vocal music, all featuring the soulfull singer malonda. the opener what do you want me to say? is an immediate hymn consisting of an emotive vocal supported by sexy percussions, an impulsive cowbell and a deep, pumping bass. totally focussing on getting people to move. this one will stick right into your head. on the a2 h.o.s.h. again introduces a straight groove but this time he combines it with repetitive vocals, hypnotic synth-sounds building up tension and even some slight strings. hidden pleasures is an instant viber. the finisher high! is slow and a true groover with a gripping bassline, drifting melodies and a vocal singing a short story about those special moments on the floor that we all know. in the end h.o.s.h. has managed to re-introduce himself without even focussing on this.

2012! finally. the end of the magic maya calendar and the start of another cosmic ilian calendar until 2043. here we are with ilian number 12 hang on 2012 and ilian 12? yes thats not a coincidence,its all well planned. the 23 year young munich hustler marco z says hi with his third dish for ilian tape since he started playing fifa 94 on his sega mega drive. lazy and sexy as always he is initiating a new time for us. as the cosmic ilian starts 2012 – ilian tape is on a new mission for some selective raggamuffin cuts out of munich hbf. after air dolomiti required an own black box for each passenger to fly to bolzano, marco cancelled the flight and went back to his girls for some schlutzkrapfens. so get into the tracks while reading our never ending nonsense here and feel it!

sonic underground compiles remixes by the ccc family of up-and-coming indie artists – four floor-ready, mutant hybrids of rock, pop, disco and deep house. belgian firebrand mugwumps rework of cccs own acid snow transforms the acid/no-wave original into a disco-house monster thats earned accolades from the likes of ewan pearson and magda. ivan smagghe calls the remix a no-nonsense record. while some look for experimental arty-ness, some for the big hit, all of this pretending to be underground, mugwump pull out of their sleeves what is properly hard to achieve, a cool big track.in a similar way, the rest of sonic underground explores new combinations of arty edginess and mass appeal. mack winston & the reflections see their swaggering glam-rock transformed by ccc into a deep back-room sex jam thats getting support from the wolf + lamb crew and is featured on soul claps compilation cd for mixmag in february. the flipside highlights remixes by cccs own night plane: with its atmospheric guitar and emo vocals, his take on presssures sounds like if the cure ever showed up on crosstown rebels, and his re-design of fellow new yorker baby alpaca is a dreamy k-hole lullaby, with blissed-out melodies that make it an after-hours snuggle classic.

one of the most gifted sexy deep house producers coming out of greece these days is 9 west and nite grooves is proud to announce the release of his debut ep on the label. kostas tikis, & george exarchos submits four delectable groovy tracks coming off >whats on your mind ep< they all have a bit of a charming, hypnotically appealing feel, some lo-fi, and retain a warm 4/4 that we all love so much. lovely, pumpy, and deep without being sleepy. from his sweet and smooth ep kick-off,protest,to the deep smacker and ep namesake >whats on your mind< to the groover known as >sometimes< and finally the >in love< tune thats absolutely perfect for candlelit a baby-making session.

new years deal - more berlin, less monacco. thats the ethos of the new max essa project, jan ken po: less sun, less sea, yachts and money, more twilight hour, basement clubs, up-tempo rhythms and dance floor politics.

the opening hits of the percussion stay smooth and relaxed, and the instruments come in one-by-one – first the synth, then the strings, then the brass – to create an experience thats both engaging and relaxing. this is the sort of music i would listen to if i cruised the streets of san francisco in the evenings. as >back to the bay< wraps up and pulls us into his remix of >screw up<, we get a dose of subscapes intensity, but its quickly pulled back into matty gs signature low-bass, hip-hop/dubstep fusion beats. >jam like a tek< adds in some vocal hooks to get the crowd chanting – and you are missing out if you dont add this into your mix. deep kick drums, a snappy snare, big distortion on the scratchy bass wobbles, and the vocals all come together perfectly to create a track thatll get people grinding like mad on the dancefloor.

acperience - two decades edition robert babicz spacefunkmix. stunning remix from robert babicz of the classic track >acperience 1<! roberts musical output is inspiring and staggering. a true one-man operation,he writes, records and performs solo commanding an ever-expanding touring schedule, tailoring the music he creates to the cities he visits. but thats only part of the puzzle, babiczs art is comprised of more than just his music. he films everything. using his music to open doors and build relationships with people in only the way music can, he then records his experiences and interaction on film, both still and moving, later editing the images together as a picture track to his audio. the b-side is a freshly remastered version of the original.

thats f**king hardcore !!

nice price deal !!! the third, somewhat overdue, installment of andy blakes cave paintings series finally sees the light of day. all the cave paintings releases are one-take analogue excursions constructed by machines and recorded live in new cross gate and mastered for vinyl in hackney.3x is a close cousin of 2y.a simple but dramatically effective warmly buzzing bassline is clambered all over by layers of interlocking pure analogue percussion.machine funk meets the locking crew for a warehouse showdown.3y heads into thus far uncharted territory. an evil, growling lfo driven bass underpins militaristic percussion thats slammed hard into ancient spring reverbs and accompanied by the sound of synthesisers being choked to death. heads down strobe-lit dancefloor action.

the man whos seen it all, thats terranovas fetisch, but he had it coming. as punks earliest and certainly youngest adopter, he strolled through late 1970s berlin, then moved to new york researching the first symptoms of hip hop, only to find himself being a many clubs resident dj in london at the end of the eighties. enters terranova, shrouded in mystery from the very beginning, fetisch‘s go-to project, that he originally conceived in 1996 to explore new club territory, and that has since built its very own cult following. kompakt truly feels honored to be the new home to an artist with such a rich background in club culture, especially as terranovas latest incarnation includes berlins house staple and boywonder &me as well as guest singer khan in his preferred role as the longest running hype in the history of underground awesomeness. consequently, it is with great poise that the trio‘s latest 12inch >so strong< commands its army of listeners to the floor, not unlike terranovas first outing on kompakt, the confidently named i want to go out. both the title track and epic flipside boogie for the dollar make up for a double headliner that takes you on a beguiling trip to the dark side of the club. no only do terranovas sequencing and beat programming deliver in spades, the package also sports some of the best vocals khan has churned out to date, featuring his trademark fusion of cool indifference and pure sleaze: >i give myself up to your splendor... so strong.<

matt star returns to mainrecords. together with his brother locke and labelboss of mainrecords, he produced two melodic technobombs, which are predestined for the big floors.but thats not all. the maintrack >gaucho< gets an heavy remix by no one less then petar dundov in his typical hypnotic melodic style. we are very pleased to hear how mainrecords developed their style this year.

next up from abstract forms is part two of the combined ep series, again the focus being on outer-worldly electro jams. the artists on offer are versalife who has already made a big impact on the recent clone west coast series and matti turunen, otherwise known as one half of finnish electro duo morphology. together they offer 6 tracks of electro music ranging from fast paced, but deep and spacious compositions, to slow and sleazy bump and grind electronica.well, thats what we call it, see what you think.

the rapidly evolving scene thats happening out in russia allows for the kind of collaboration between artists of highly different fields, as is the case here. arram mantana, tripmastaz and roustam are three producers of different ilk, who have joined in this special case for their debut ep out on souvenir records

why another new label? arent there enough on the market? approximately this some people may think while reading about the new music label from wigbert called sono vivo ...
but its not just another label! for wigbert its an impersonation of his emotions, feelings and the love to music. letting the thoughts run and the belief that dreams become true. sono vivo means >live your dream< and thats exactly what this new project is!

produced by elektro guzzi and patrick pulsinger recorded directly to analog tape. no edits. no overdubs.
elektro guzzi redefined the meaning of performing techno live. with just guitar, bass and drums, they take the most unusual playing techniques and put them together into a rigid mechanical form where everything makes instant, evident sense. if they had not performed live extensively, becoming audience favourites from mutek to sónar and from berghain to fabric, it would have been hard to believe this is really how the music is created. that said, it seemed impossible they could go even further in this direction. yet thats exactly what they did. parquet, their second studio album sees them in monomaniacal, claustrophobic techno mode. throughout the nine tracks the distinctions between instruments and roles are totally vaporized.

its another monster from survival and one thats featured as an untitled track in numerous sets recently. here we are pleased to announce its title as >the year 2133<. the intro on this one takes you on a short journey into space and back & returns you to land with a massive bump the mini-second the bass kicks in. its a futuristic slate of d&b that we are sure would sit quite well in the year 2133 however we are happy to be releasing this in 2011! the flip sees fathom audios superb >clear the mist< featuring codebreaker & sense. the track features the excellent and hugely talented vocals of codebreaker & mc sense throughout and represents an excursion away from the norm for dispatch.
support from the likes of: btk, rockwell, vicious circle, ant tc1, ulterior motive, fd, dlr, skeptical, cern, dbr uk, nymfo, marky, ant tc1, mindscape, chris su, youngsta, doc scott (future beats podcast), skeptical, xtrah & dose.

after three best-selling releases basic fingers is back! our fourth release is a killer 12 from stockholm based producer changed.
if you like your disco bumping around in the midtempo range this release is definitely for you. working around a killer sample from love unlimited orchestra the >jamaican girl< track is destined to become a huge dancefloor winner. flip things over and you will find a tasty rework of swedish artist roger rönning and his much in demand folk disco track >tiden bara gar< where changed used elements from both the original and live version.
a real standout release from a label thats got a lot to shout about!
basic fingers is a new label brought to you by the fine team over at gamm. its an open-minded concept with quality edits and reworks for an underground disco/ house generation.

a true product of torontos thrillingly cosmopolitan grooving pot, this chinese-italian duo is quickly earning a rep for crafting highly effective acid tracks with just a hint of banger. they initially earned notice with their first ep, >vaporizer<, on this is music, before making fans out of some big names with these tracks, with brodinski championing >body acid< and forcing turbos a&r vibetrust to perk up their unbelievably jaded ears.
if you arent sold on the ontario-buzz, then maybe you will pay attention to two awesome remixes by the bombest bulgarian, kink. the deep mix is a lush, throbbing body-rub, and the acid version is a highlight-reel of peak time mayhem, already caned and charted by erol alkan and tiga. if nothing else, >body acid< is a vital reminder that acid goes into your body. thats just the way it works.
stamped white label, limited to 169 copies!

the newborn label oasi lab entrusts his 3rd vinyl output >third way ep< to a pair of talented producers: andrea bigi and marius laurentiu that after the exit on prestigious bla bla records, monique musique, be real, microzoo, compose an elegant track but at the same time killer for all dance floors, their sound is fresh and full of magnetic charge and suitable for all situations, thats the confirmation that a new generation of producers is taking life. thickness of the remix of the famousproducer horatio (viva music, natural rhythm, quanticman, sleep is commercial) which transforms the song into a trip ofincredible old school taste but with twists of surreal and hypnotic sounds! pure dynamite for rave oriented sound lovers. in the same ep, madutec s debut in oasilab with his deep and dry sound incredibly effective if you require elegance and powerat the same time, track that makes the ep mark a new way of making music andconvey positive vibes.

the third release on the world unknown label is a very meaty affair that coincides with the second birthday of the club night in brixton. on side w timothy j. fairplay fuses ancient egypt with late 80s belgium and drops it slap bang into the near future with the monolithic techno beast that is >cleopatra loves the acid<. its already been played in discos and on the bbc by andrew weatherall, for whom tim handles engineering and co-production duties in his day job, and is set to become a pounding anthem on the more adventurous dancefloors over the coming months. side u is a more throbbing psychedelic affair. kalidasa is the production alter-ego of tim rivers who runs the always excellent theacidhouse.com website. it<s exactly the kind of heavyweight midtempo tune that causes sweaty pandemonium at world unknown. if the word balearic still meant now what it did to from 87-92 then thats precisely what youd call this, most likely with the prefix >heavy<. but it doesnt so you cant, or can you?

the wurst music co proudly presents its very first full-length release, the aptly titled the wurst music ever. boasting ten brand new songs from wurst stalwarts and newcomers to the sausage party alike, the compilation is a bold step forward for the cult new york label. released over 3 individually released 12 eps, cd and digital, the wurst music ever is that rare commodity in dance music, chock full of personality, and by no means mere dancefloor fodder. part ii boasts stockholm studs name in lights, brooklyn live disco troupe midnight magic, and wurst alum great weekend.

it means >i hear, i see, i learn< in latin. its gonna be the second single, the one thats gonna accompany the release of the album. maybe not the easiest one but due to its peculiarity we all felt it was a natural choice. its runs at 152bpm, which is quite fast, but still delicate. its also the longest track on the album. an ideal conclusion for the album and for our future live shows.
packaging : ep 3mm edge sleeve printed on silver cardboard + download card inside

elektro willi and his son are back. two years on board of a club cruise ship - thats enough. dad, we go ashore! sure, it was only a small step from selling washing-machines via the more or less obscure music industry to club ship animation. but sometimes even the most spectacular evening dinners, the most exciting special guests become boring. you just want to pull of your sweaty vinyl-showsauna-suit and get back to your origins: e.g. selling washing-machines. but without melancholy: on the aida, the willi-show became improved, in mediterranean nights, a new album was drafted into the starry sky.

don’t be fooled, for a second. “this is a sad, sad song / for all you sad, sad people,” announces ganglians’ creative core and lead singer ryan grubbs at the outset of the sacramento-based band’s second lp, still living. the guitars, strummed with sun- rays, and the percussion, sprightly with springtime enthusiasm, tell a different tale.

recorded in the immediate aftermath of his last ep >passed me by<, this new doublepack from andy stott features six new productions that are more desolate and exposed than anything on its predecessor. the opening >submission< tumbles into being with layers of washed-out digital revolutions, creating an artificial landscape thats quite at odds with the analogue machinations that follow - yet somehow rendering the alienated feel of this material perfectly. >posers< nudges its way into being abruptly and embeds another squashed funk variant thas all low-lit neon and growling textures, awkwardly shuffling into a more robust 4/4 template suffused with sparkling percussion and disembodied vocals. >bad wires< is the centrepiece of the ep, a relentless percussive cluster*ck that belies its slow tempo with a fearless rhythmic attitude. its as immersive and narcotic as anything ever produced by stott - peeling away one layer after another with each repeated listen. >we stay together< (part one) was the first track written for the ep and offers a more spacious narrative and a more sparkling, hazy palette - culminating in a beautifully frayed central hook thats somehow in keeping with the vhs aesthetic of both jamal moss and ferris bueller. >cherry eye< tumbles deep into a darkened hole before ep closer >cracked< turns up, fuelled by an odd mixture of adrenalin and sorrow to send you on your way.... buzzing and forlorn
