the vinyl a side of release no.002 is brought by one of the label owners himself. alex niggemann. jewels is a track that gives you the sensation or maybe a vague feeling that something wild is going to happen. alex niggemann builds up the tention slowly. with a deep beat and some ethnical vocals he combines the secrets of an ancient world with the nowadays club scene. the warm toned percussions groove at a pace that definitely makes you move your feet, then your hips follow until your whole body moves to the rythmn. with lots of athmospheric details alex niggemann has created an audio piece to start perfect open air dj sets with. listening closely to it one can determine bells, street noises, sounds of goats or sheeps and a crowd talking. these elements are floating timelessly and combine into a hypnotic wave of sounds. to create a striking dynamic the producer has used calmness within intense passages. but the slightly more suble moments soon open up and harmonic string chords form into the arrangement which are eclapsing in the vocal hook line, one can barely not memorize. after former releases at labels such as hi-freaks and kindisch the recenty formed soulfooled is proud to present this munich dj and producer team with a staggering new track, findling & lihab created a deephouse mix with ol times combining smooth vocals with raw edgy chords.

the beautiful swimmers return! big coastsees the swimmers bring more and more influences into the vibe, from the reggae chunk, sleeping bag trumpets, and percussive tidal wave of the title track, to the 808 kraut spiral of touch base, a cut that sounds like tangerine dream doing some heavy breathing in ghana. rounding out the 12is give it all you got, an aggressive disco stormer djs have been asking us about for almost a year now. summer is here!

reggie blount is one cool fucker doing some great p-funk electro tracks as one would expect to hear from midnight star, morris day and the time, bootsy collins and the many unknown early 80s unknown electro funk boogie funkateers. heavily influenced by the underground electro-boogie style of the early 80s as well as more known artists such as one way, kashif, mtume, cameo, and parliament. reggie blount brings together the elements which led these styles to the forefront of the club scene at a time when drum machines and synthesizers were giving birth to the bedroom recording artist. mr blount offers up some heat for your funk bone on his long anticipated debut ep! as with all crown limited releases only two manufacturing runs... one is pre-orders only... two is when prices go crazy in the 2nd hand market. so make sure you will pre-order this in time!

tiefenschoen as an lp is a complete whirlwind having a raw and dirty feel to it, albeit without losing focus on the original and well-known jean f. cochois sound. this is an extremely strong club album with a powerful recognition value – not only musically, but also visually thanks to its album cover. it stands out as it has an overall concept and, throughout it, a sense of continuity from beginning to end.

>double rainbow< is the first 12 inch single by dcs protect-u partnership. a dripping bell loop drops over 707 patterns and deep bass as the a side twists, turns, and grows into a highlife house dream. the b side toughen up is tropical electro-funk gyrating in and out of itself, a 90 bpm churner for all the people out there (like us) living in that nu pangaea where the genres fall apart

reaching back through time to lay hands in the forges of metal, nycs children riff out the present with their debut, hard times hanging at the end of the world. formed through jam sessions by guitarists skyler spohn, jonny rad ollsin (formerly of vancouvers s.t.r.e.e.t.s.), and drummer adam bennati (of early man), the group laid waste to clubs in and around the city beginning in late 2006, and have kept shredding onward. tradition meets stamina head on throughout hard times six massive tracks. with intricate, narrative dual guitar work and a frenzied, wired demeanor children bring it all together: thrash advancements, serious girth, familiar passages crosscut with relentless speed, a formidable edge, and self proclaimed spiritual conspiracy party riffs.

incl. manuel tur remix. the second chapter in mild pitch history reveals the cryptically twinkling gem that is langenberg s times , a dark yet sensitive house affair which easily bridges the gap from a rougher 1990s new jersey kind of feel to the modern takes on house music of today. filtered stab fragments and deep chordal layers gently slide into each other like watercolour and the shifting frequencies of a sizzling vinyl record contribute to langenberg s most thrilling work to date. on the flip, manuel tur gears up for an atmospheric remix expansion reminiscent of his critically acclaimed 0201 album debut on freerange earlier this year. countless harmonic layers twine around a filtered disco sample, without ever revealing its full sound spectrum while the raw tripping beat keeps stomping relentlessly…

today, krikors musical style has become more hybrid than ever, a personal synthesis of his musical obsessions : the fat groove and old drum machines of chicago house, the abstract sounds of minimal techno, the urge and energy of rock(abilly), the harshness of industrial music, the dark romantism of folk anti-heroes from the 60s and the forward thinking of grm lab rats (pierre schaeffer, pierre henry..). the result of this synthesis is a first album >land of truth< at last, after 10 years of waiting. its an intimate and ambitious album, bitter and sweet. 11 cinematic songs featuring the voices of krikor himself and also nicolas ker (from poni hoax) on >god will break it all< and >dogs on trial<, chloe (the french dj) on >everything fades< and chloe (the english punkette of battant) on >the times<.

after the success of their collaboration with paul thomas on last years festival anthem >arena<, mark knight and funkagenda join forces once again on one of the most eagerly anticipated tracks showcased at this years miami wmc.
>good times< is the feel good anthem of the summer comprising of a modest intro with a warbling bass line driving slowly through collecting sounds, before opening up into an edgy synth stab and finally the insanely catchy vocal hook >these are the good times<! the track drops back in like a speeding locomotive train going full steam ahead, with cleverly placed percussion, fx and siren sounds soaring to create an intense rhythm.
on the flip, >flauta magica< shows the diversity of these two acclaimed producers when they get in the studio together. taking a different route from the lead track and concentrating more on the groove, >flauta magica< chugs along nicely with an almost tribal percussive feel to it. the excellent chanting vox sample, reminiscent of the early house sound, keeps the groove rolling along into the drop. taking the lead from the tracks name, a whistling flute riff drops elevating the musical vibe to a new balearic level.

sleazy mcqueens latest offering big times, big tings has a dub ragga house feel to it, showing that the boston-based headtunes recordings aren t afraid to push the boundaries with the music they release. remixer cole medina, producer of legend and mystery , has released music that house and disco djs the world over know and cherish on his own label, house arrest, as well as american standard, hairy claw and internasjonal.
