its been a while since the last release by mark august on connaisseur, but now hes back with an extraordinary one. two tracks, both like a fairytale of a country far, far away. a fable, with mystic and mysterious animals and creatures, might best describe what mark had in mind while working on the tracks. the wasps from tunisia and the silver piggy – the main track on this release is an uncommon piece of music. it starts moody and with a stoic pumping beat, yet also a somehow laidback feeling. it then unexpectedly and surprisingly builds up to a monster of a track, working manically towards its climax. then however, over the length of the track, it completely transforms again, coming back to its beginning, as though nothing had ever happened. scorpions groove is a deep and dubby affaire.

rmxs by clouded vision & noob ! i met brodi early last year, he had a track called >bad runner< that i had been playing incessantly. it leaked onto blog sites months before its release on mental groove in october 2007. it found its way into erols box among many others very early on and the hot fuss began. as a dj, despite hailing from france (reims, lille), unexpectedly brodis taste is broad. if your expecting banging gnarly electro bombs… unlucky. he can play anything from noisy techno, bass heavy house through to more melodic minimal. plus, if you think you spend more time searching the net for new tunes than anyone else, think again. this guy is committed and now his second, and even better ep is here and he has saved it just for turbo

originally released in 2000!! wonderful classic french house vibez!! dont miss this again!!

here we go. the second >home sweet home sessions< lies upon the table! that means: upon you is celebrating its second anniversary and is looking back on another successful year. again- this fine compilation puts together a selection of the members of the inner circle of production, with whom theyve been sharing the nightlife and the love to electronic dance-music. they all belong to the berlin techno-scene and will not miss being there when it comes to the new-years edition of their favourite perspiratory gland- work exhibition: the >home sweet home afterhour”< in the arena club to berlin on january 1st 2009. as diverse as the musical accents on this party are, the tracks will present themselves alike- comfortably labled and sinfully one next to another

if you secretly believe that all of the best dance music has an undercurrent of melancholy then you are in for a treat. 0.5, the debut ep from the fascination movement, doesn?t skimp on either the dancefloor rhythms or the windswept yes-we-remember-new pop romanticism. the fascination movement is looking forwards, not backwards: just because this is music that adapts the same vocabulary created by bands like new order or early orchestral manoeuvres in the dark doesn?t change the fact that from the first arpeggios of ?just pretend? you feel the shock of the new. of course, you may be too busy humming along to the choruses to notice how slyly the band makes a classic sound fresh again...

berlin-based belgian producers sierra sam & marcus vector present the debut release of d.i.y. (dumb irresponsible youth), their new house-oriented project. sierra sam (toysforboys, einmaleins, trapez) and marcus vector (toysforboys, nomor, playground) recently released their first joint effort for contexterrior. working together once again, this time around theyve put aside their usual dark techno inclinations, opting instead for uninhibited house led by analog percussion sounds. drumroll, please… >pimp my saw< is a frenzy layers and layers of toms, kicks, steeldrums and clicks. >screw it up< is a more melodic affair, with the classic build-up and tension that defines classic house material, plus a hint of latino finesse. on the flip, >hammer of love< closes things out with a shuffly balance between the organic and the artificial, with looming atmospheric ambience to set a darker tone. these three tracks are the perfect tools to use where the sun dont shine. (that would be the nightclub, you pervert!)

back with another of their much loved eps - the knee deep guys dig deep to satisfy your dancefloors yet again courtesy of the french love ep. kicking off with >all night< a charged up bullet with hooky vocal loop and infectious synthy lick, >vibin< is exactly that - a stabby low end bassline powers on alongside the sweet warming melody whilst the whole groove builds and builds leading to the chant-fuelled breakdown. rounding things off, >sweet love< has that epic crowd pleasing vibe you will have come to expect from the kd guys… again its simplicity at its best using a hooky riff throughout, and allowing the groove to shine. a power-packed ep in 3 different flavours

the second release introduces a new project on the raw fuel imprint: state of emergency. the a-side features shock from the pain, a mainstream partytrack with a catchy melody, cool vocals and stunning kicks, guaranteed to get those hands in the air and feet of the ground! this track already received great dj support from artists like: angerfist, paul elstak, the viper, t-junction and rudeboy & tomcat. on the b-side we find the rough banger game time. play this track and youll have serious dancefloor madness for sure! once again a great hardcore slammer that cant be missed!! grab it while its still hot!

after 17 years of working together, tejada & leviste are back in the studio again putting their modular synths to good work. m tracks (m as in modular) features 4 analog workouts in varying styles. m track 1 features a melodic deep, yet driving track reminiscent of the duos best known work. m track 2 and 3 showcase a trackier sound focusing on basic elements while m track 4 turns in a much more experimental direction. the approach to this ep was a very fun, hands on process. analog sequencers are used to drive the various modular synths and their components. this process allowed for a more organic feel as the unstable electronics change over time as well as the manual changing of parameters over time. systems used include doepfer and frostwave sequencers, and modular systems consisting of cwejman, doepfer, harvestman and bananalogue modules. analog drum machines aided in the rhythms, however m track 3 was generated from pure modular hardware including the drums.

james harcourt has mad a real dent in the tech house sound this year... support from techno, progressive & house djs alike. he continues his relationship with baroque here, giving us a tight electronic jackin beat. on the flip we have a remix from that man quivver. hot of the heels of his artist album he takes the track down a darker deeper route.

wonderfull minimal from russia!! again, subotnik members modul show us their soulful side..

support by 2000 and one, matthias tanzmann, daniel stefanik, anthony collins...on our easy-rider, not only the wheels, also the raver s are burning. back on the house-highway, the journey leads through the a1 district of the ‘wild coyote’ who sneaks up on velvet paws to turn into a grown 4/4 fox by dusk. after this impressive encounter he call out for ‘dixies diner’ because the outlaw mesteno knows one can not nourish on ‘tossed to’ women slip s alone and orders a warm a2 menue to collect strength to chase the horizon with ‘full throttle’ again on the b1 side.

meridian is a perfect example of dj 3000s evolution as a producer. the mark of a good producer is to never stop growing, once you do, you are condemned to making the same record over and over again and hoping no one notices. this record is the perfect marriage between the percussive staples of the motech sound, and a new lighter exploration of sound elements by dj 3000. >meridian< dares you to sit still while listening to it, or to stand on the wall if you are near a dance floor. its ability to make you dance as well as captivating your ear if you are sitting and listening illustrates the dynamic flexibility of the motech sound.

part 2/2! vinyl sampler with much sought after tracks from efdemins debut mix-cd >carry on, pretend we re not in the room<

two key players of the scene join forces on figures sixteenth release. no one else than adam beyer and luke slater contribute tracks to this very special ep. mod by luke slaters planetary assault systems project takes off with a fast, breathless groove. its force drags the dancers along, and the mesmerizing bleeps put everybody in a deep trance. within seconds, the solid ground of the dancefloor is nothing but a remote memory. mod has a very special aura, it is hard to grasp its exceptional energy. it appears to be pretty elementary, and yet it is an verwhelming techno anthem which will accompany you for quite some time. adam beyers simulated usage surprises the crowd with its elegance and subtlety. forming an irresistible funk, the fabric of the track interweaves various tiny elements. this savageness obviously manifests in his musical approach which can be characterized by his open-mindedness in regard to diverse influences, currents and styles. simulated usage is strong and joyful, it is techno in its best sense. once again, adam beyer und luke slater manage to coin the face of contemporary club music.

todd bodine demonstrates with this ep once again extraordenary taste and skills. after a very successfull excursion on claude van strokes mothership label and his activities as a heavily booked live-act and dj he presents on >unexpected life-form< two brilliant tracks, that seem to burst with their energy. todd bodine apparently has gained a lot of experience how to bunch the impact on both the dancefloor and the musical side and how to turn the result into a wall of sound. and hes doing it by following his own unique style. on the a-side >calypso< captivates you right after a few seconds with its pulsating sequences and a subtle growing energy-level from break to break. developing a drive which wont miss its impact on any floor. >snakeskin< on the flip is homogeneously build around shimmering melody-sequences which create the energy of this track, while the bassline below pulsates warm and deep. sounds like: detroit without kitsch. or like a cross between matthew johnson, robert hood and fabrice lig. to put it in other words: a typical todd bodine release in the best sense. allready a true highlight in the highgradecatalogue in 20

the princess of hardcore strikes again with thunder and lightning!

dj whiteside and vocalist candy williams team up again for the new release on milk & sugar recordings. whiteside, since 20 years now on the road, started in the music business in switzerland as a producer of illegal, but highly demanded mixtapes, the >billboard tapes<. fined for music piracy in 1990 it took him as long as until 1995, before he gained great success again with >ugly house<, the most successful cd compilation series in switzerland until now. he was given the opportuninty to release his first artist album soon after, which was also a great seller, not only in switzerland.

an extremely tasty 4 tracker from the massively talented par grindvik. the a1 is a real killer with its rising synths and sledgehammer drums whereas the a2 is a perfect contrast with its slow intense minimal groove. the b1 again is a real floor burner with its driving groove and clever synth edits halfway. the record closes with a superb more minimal interpretation yet agin. drumcode again proves it is still one of the most cutting edge imprints around... limited backstock available
