adam beyers drumcode imprint is about to go through something of a rennaissance with some simply sublime material about to hit the streets this autumn/winter. traditionally his labels would always have a very swedish bias - something which has now opened up to include new exciting producers from further afield. one of these producers who adam greatly admires is perc who has delivered this devastating 3 tracker for drumcode. perc has his own label perc trax and his recent remix of dj hell on kickin records was a firm favourite in adams sets for many months….

return of the cocoon-proof techno don! some phat business from jaceks underwater lab - yet another exercise in his very own concept of combining minimal groove with maximal sound spectrum. and it works: solid mid-tempo rhythm carries what seems to be a thousand of layers of sound. meaty, bouncing bass stabs intertwine with washes of synthetic melodies, while percussion drops and unidentified samples swirl around in this bio-robotic monster of a tune. >green river< takes jaceks minimal obsession into cold outer space, where you can hear the planets spin and the only hope seems to be coming from a dying communication device... cold, stark and haunting, this is either work of a madman or truly the future now

aus continue to release the best and brightest of contemporary dance music with the oehug the scary ep, a collaboration between luminaries will saul and lee jones. will saul is best known as the head of simple records, up for nomination as best british label in dj magazine this year and also sister label to the more experimental aus imprint on which this ep is released. in his career to date he has released numerous singles on simple, the critically acclaimed space between album and has recently produced an ep for the german label systematic. englishman in berlin lee jones has to date released acclaimed singles on liebe detail, aus and his own label, just rec. formerly releasing under the moniker hefner , he is also a main creative force behind playhouse my my, whose oesongs for the gentle album won plaudits worldwide in 2006. opener oehug the scary is a transcendental journey. trace echoes of melody encircle an intensifying percussive step, filtering to a chimed key reflection. tonal themes fade in, compete, distort and then depart, making way for peaks of overwhelming melody, with only the fittest surviving and elevating to the sublime. on the flip side, partial arts (the duo of ewan pearson and al usher) give their own, heavily percussive, account of proceedings. stormy fuzz and bubble bath accents introduce a funk bassline and interplay between looped guitar and tonal melody. a sci-fi synth haze halts and then dictates the progression into a saturated melodic climax.

for a few months already, sub static boss falko brocksieper gradually intensifies his work on the own label again. with driving minimal-beats and melodic instinctive feeling the track >slap< from the >slap/happy<-split-ep with mia evolved into a gladly played hit, and also the following >esque ep< was not just a dayfly in the worlds dj-bags. in this phase the new 2-tracker >blackbox< is now brocksiepers ultimate confession to the dancefloor - fully functional without lacking his organic, trippy branding. the track >blackbox< presents itself as a dark, impulsive techno mover, ripped open again and again by intuitively placed accents, only to remind itself of its own irresistible drive and to cultivate it over the full length. meanwhile the b-side >off the rack< is toying with the idea of chicago house groove, driven by a rebelliously grumbling bootybassline and bleepy excursions into the world of weird soundscapes. on both tracks falko brocksieper celebrates the sign stimuli of techno, delightfully modest and coupled with his signature bubbly, sculptural sound.

dont be fooled by the plural >boys.< alexander ridha, 24, is just one man and he can do it all on his own. nobody, however, would argue about the >noize< part. as a kid he taught himself to play the drums and piano, started to write his first songs when he was 12, and at the age of 16, discovered his love for programming and producing. his music and productions have excited massive interest from artists like soulwax, justice, erol alkan and the rapture and labels such as kitsuné, ed banger, fatboy slim s skint, dj hells intl gigolo and tigas turbo rec - to name a few. daft punk have sent him their love via myspace and his remixes of depeche mode, feist, british indie anthems >banquet< by bloc party and >everyday i love you less and less< by kaiser chiefs have thrilled global djs and crowds all over the world.

nice price deal !!! swiss dj and producer dani koenig is the next star on 3rd floor records. with releases on own and other labels since 1995, this is a gentleman whos been around for a long time and should be reckoned with. most recently hes released on four twenty recordings wich was a big success. we believe that what he delivers here is of his very finest. a1. floatet a perfect a-side! the thumping and grooving bass line is the heart and life-giving source of this track. layer upon layer of rolling percussions, filled with energy. as explicit as the sun on a summer day….loco dice has already proven this as b2 featured on his time warp cd from earlier this year

new signing on players paradise from hamburg city, two producers who are up and coming in the scene and ready to take over with this mental banger. first one is tensnake who runs his own label mirau musik out of his hometown and got a lot of attention recently by remixing >junior boys<. his partner is suite 9 aka d.i.m. who made some great records on tigas turbo label and had a big hit with >airbus baby< and his cool remix for chromeos last single >fancy footwork<. on the remix job this time our favourite man out of cologne, steve barnes aka cosmic sandwich. he transforms the original into a spaced out 90s house track with his typical driving groove that he developed over the last years in his great releases on traum and my best friend.

merry, amusing nonsense - some of the attributes used to describe the last kritik records. these terms are unlikely to be appropriate here: the young sebastian simmert from the outskirts of berlin has submitted his first own production. noticable are the influences of techno producers from recent years and the work of this 22 year old demonstrates he knows the whos who. is this an up and comer? the first track is in the tradition of pumping bodzin/romboy works, the second references 2step, including the bad little ravemonster. finally, a hymne for the early morning hours, for the more contemplative dancefloor - enjoy while sipping bionade. beyond minimalism

pawel, also known for his melancholic and deeply emotional songwriter skills as turner on ladomat and mute, follows his path of minimal post-detroit influenced tracks recently heard on his dial release >ceramics<. having released 3 12inches on dial records as pawel so far, >jujuy&salta< marks a step on new ground, by starting his own label. orphanear is meant to be a open playground for both the pawel and turner releases, as well as for old and new friends, not only in the dance-spectrum. >jujuy< starts of with a slowed down, dark and bouncing synth line, and later on sound as if sähkö had moved to la and invited us all. >salta< turns up the velocity slightly and deliberately evolves into one of the sweetest and hypnotic detroit affine tracks in the recent past! played by dj koze & chloe

a full release by san frans beat broker-known for his edits and mixes and also one half of broker/dealer who released on labels such as asphodel, spectral, traum and californias own sentrall records. >warriors (in space)< is a massive, up-tempo synth track which sounds somewhere between tantra and patrick cowley - same epic vibe, cowbell gallore, guitar licks and spaced out sytnhs. oldschool sounds with a modern arrangement, just what the discotheque needs. flip for two gliding cosmic-edged disco-house cuts. deep, warm and emotional tracks that will work both for the crowd and the listener. timeless

summer mega-ton-bomb – sure shot!! balearic is a word which few people really understand. it can mean whatever you want it to mean, but it has always been vaguely associated with ibiza, hippies, deep tropical dance music, and british football hooligans who grew hair, showered less, and became djs. but forget those 90s british for now, there that feels better! with this special release, which we have kept quarantined on its own tuning spork extra label, we are bringing you that balearic vibe with a deep and dubby 00s house music twist. and for us, this is the record of the summer. so prepare yourself for a massive collaboration project from the social beings. this is not some duo youve never heard of, in fact its label boss jay haze (fuckpony / bearback / krak street boyz) and his friend, modern day techno legend ricardo villalobos… one piece of information which is true, unlike those ones, is that haze and villalobos are now huge figures in the house and techno world. and they are indeed social beings

billy dalessandro – working as a multimedia designer during the day, the american with italian roots creates his music in his legendary dojo studios in chicago while releasing it mostly on german labels – which is not as paradox as it seems…. his productions, thought-through, fluid, rolling monsters that surprise with darkness and groove, are released on labels such as resopal, force inc, forcetracks, konvex-konkav, disco inc., relax, kompute and soniculture, as well as his own imprint siteholder, and make the dj and producer a much sought-after artist whose records end up in crates of well-known artists as diverse as mathew dear and john digweed.

pierce & twirdy created an intense piece of deep, harmonic and hypnotizing techno. close to their detroit roots but fresh in the result, similar to recent music by artists like martin landsky they build up strong synth lines with minimal drumming and mindtripping spheric sounds. supplementing the release, robert babicz adds his very own interpretation of the original by positioning the drumming in a modern house style combined with a murder bassline that once again proves his awesome skills as a producer.
