5 grammy award winnig amy winehouses mega selling back to black album, produced by mark ronson & salaam remi.

yore returns with a true dream team split ep, pairing yore label head andy vaz with sistrum manager patrice scott. vaz is up first with a beautiful slice of old-school funk and soul within a deep house formula, >back to square one< that has a whole lot more in common with isaac hayes and james brown than with juan atkins or any other techno icon. accompanied by a wah-wah guitar figure and claps, a bullet-proof bass line leads a nine-minute charge thats quickly bolstered by a slinkily swinging drum groove. creamy synth chords and blazing horns intermittently spill over the pulsating mix and then vanish, leaving space for the rhythm to intensify and the track to grow ever more euphoric (and even, towards its close, a bit acidy). a true mission into both funk and house, which again showcases vazs ultimate diversity as an outstanding producer. scott titled his second sistrum release beyond deep and the title might just as easily apply to the b-side >aztecal< where the detroit producer slathers shimmering stabs and congealing streams over a thudding kick drum and flickering percussive detail. while vazs cut draws inspiration from the timeless traditions of decades past, scotts looks towards the future when its gleaming shuttle lifts off in pursuit of distant galaxies.

>just a must buy< ... loved and charted by almost everyone !!! next mihalis safras biggie on trapez! after his top notch >interafrica ep< mihalis is going from strength to strength and presents us a record that will be loved and played for many years now....

bangkok impact returns just before the summer with 2 great tunes. la musche is a masculine disco monster that kicks ass! a 8 minute monster that has powerfull basslines making the room explode when being dropped at the right moment. will be big with all the fans of rekids, prins thomas and lindstrom. b-side is used for a track called caro (coming in two versions.. original & disco version). a perfect summer hymne that will make people smile when its being dropped at the main stage at the summer festivals.

let me love you is a classic from sierra leonean soca star bunny mac. having now being remixed by the heavyweight of house music it drops just in time for the summer on defected.

same script as with previous control voltage releases, 2 x 303, 1 x 808, 1 x 909, 2 x blokes on dial and desk duty and this time guest starring a linn lm2 for that fearsome descending snare sound. this one is a big analogue party tune that just keeps on going and is sure to put a wonky grin on a bunch of sweaty faces on a dancefloor near you this summer. also, contrary to a number of reports from a few internet record dealers who seem hell-bent on driving up the price of the first 2 control voltage 12s, they are not quite sold out a source, we havent got many left but there are a few remaining for anyone that needs them

if top of the range minimalism with a side order of funk included is what floats your boat then this new ep could well be just the job. the inner and outer space ep follows hot on the heels of the two well received previous releases the hokarangen space project ep and diamondtrack. innocence features the menacing vocals of lucien etori to deliver a minimalist epic, if thats possible. certainly minimalism plus menace equals one damn fine track.

italian based eclipsemusics second outing comes with a serious release courtesy of passenger, young and talented producer of night drive music and paul macs sula muse fame. this two tracks 12inch confirms his interest in the deepest and more underground side of detroit techno. on side a >the fall< reveals the smoother side of this upcoming producer: a deep melodic techno builder, with emphasis on atmospheric strings and arpd melodies, developing on a funked up techno drum section. the flipside brings you the burner of the 12inch: >the funk< is an a epic, slow-growing and booty-shaking techno track with all the elements in its right place: a killer bassline over an effective drum work takes the flight with the building strings. namedropping would be useless in this case, just check with your ears

supported by marc romboy, olivier huntemann, nudisco, mugwump, da fresh, jack de marseille, michael forzza, david guetta, dave clark, claudio coccoluto, martin solveig, ivan smagghe and many more... the story goes like this: fred hush went dj-ing to the russian federation. he was invited by shishkanov evgeniy pavlovich (aka eugene for his friends). being a dance producer as well, he proposed >not gay song< to fred hush... just to test him really. fred hush immediately liked the deep 80s minded 120 bpm melody and influenced by the voice of eugene (with a certain depeche mode feeling), fred was immediately interested to sign this wonderful track to the palm beach label as a true potential dancefloor hit!

two great edits produced by rotterdams loud-e (who previously did an amazing edit release on magick edits & bear funk). this disco connaisseur is sharing some of his sickest and hottest edits, made out of several tracks which once were available as b-side, as obscure library album or just in very limited quantities. he is one of those young guys influenced by the scene around clone and cbs and dj’s such as i-f & baldelli. but now its his time to shine with some amazing edit work! hey mr dj!!! this song is just for you!

lme starts into the new year... here comes the follow up smasher from luke lawson: >all night long<. dont worry... not just another cover version from an eighties hit. this one is a unique track including a guaranteed summer feeling. the upcoming producer from austria could enlist >the house voice< john whitfield for a cooperation. besides hot rhythms, a pumping bass line and brilliant piano sounds, this track particularly impresses with impulsive vocals and a big remix package with mixes from shootingstarz, lectrostar and falko niestolik & j.k david mix

must have collectors item in a special hard cover double 12inch ,just a classic

ultraphat 2 track ep with perfect hyptnotic & groovy summer tunes, just a big one

after the extremely successful filmmusik ep on rompecabeza, holgi star is back with >not for me<. the ep consists of two tracks with technoid crossover potential! on >not for me< bits of african vocals meet functional techno and seamlessly weave together into a quite sexy and rather danceable number. all the while >dont feel it< coolly, calmly, and with just enough repetition, establishes its class and style without unneeded flourishes. both tracks were extensively tested by the rompe crew at sonar 2008 in barcelona, and reactions spoke of the potential both of the artist and the ep itself!!!

enjoying success earlier this year on splank! with organ dementia/restless, groove allegiance have also recently remixed torpedo boys the disco song for lounge records and break the boxs ghostlicker for ground level. this latest number super squelch has already been doing the business at recent groove allegiance gigs, the title giving plenty away, as wonky lfo noises provide the fills, whilst stomping beats and a twisted electro hook provide the solid dancefloor groove. canadian stalwart macca, head honcho of invasive records, turns up to provide the remix. catching the eye of splank! with his recent remixes of dj dans chop shop (instereo) and robb g & the phat conductors heavy, the macca sound has a hint of breakbeat mixed with a big room electro flavour, and with this remix he stays true to his word. the beats are tight, the fills and edits feel quite breaky, and the hook is hypnotic. this ones perfect for the big arena & just in time for festival season.

just quality house feat. male & female vocal hooks... we love it

karateklub suprises with hugh tracks from jenn, fantastically remixed by rebekah (criminal/uk). with >cheeky<, jenn presents a groovy and much more minimal side then we allready heard on her last ep. suprising and reduced, her sounds looping up and down, embedded in a clonky basedrum structure. the remix, made by rebekah, well known from her releases on criminal records, is just fantastic and completes the ep brilliantly. she desinged a hugh groove and pushed it forward. by adding her ideas she creates an excellent new track. the interface original is specified by stomping and jigging beats, which get intermitted by smooth voices and melodies, before pushing it up again. these girls have it and paint the town red!

having had great sucess on labels such as microfon, grandpetrol and style rockets daniel steinberg is now one of the main representatives on front room and with this release delivers another innovative new twist on house. with the summer sounds of his last front room release, cobra limbos, still resinating around clubs, festivals and house lovers daniel delivers two more huge tracks. >uptown< has the beats, bleeps and bass that daniel has become renowned for and with its cut-up vocals is catching peoples heads just like he did with his hugh smash >pay for me<. on the flip >revival< is a more hypnotically deep groover that builds continuously yet remains innovative and intriguing from begining to end. daniel steinbergs releases are being played by the likes of ricardo vilalobos, luciano, claude vonstroke and richie hawtin to name a few and his talents continue to blossom with every stroke. many of daniel steinberg productions are main stays in the sets of label boss jesse rose whos global popularity is a product of his individual style and fresh take on music. this release is another illistration of jesses a&r skills in full action. artists such as jesse rose, solid groove (aka switch), trevor loveys, deadset and style of eye are just some of the artists that have released on front room recordings in the past

frankfurt based producer and dj michael stapf delivers herewith his incredible 3 tracker debut single >spiritkeeper<. after some netreleases at musicartistry records and a cooperation track with axel sohns on teknite records - this is definitely his fulminant solo start in the vinyl world. the label hymn >spiritkeeper< shouts out a message to the club scene - >we wont accept that changes are a fact of life !< >unconscious minds< is a modern tech housy vocal track - that will for sure find its way to your ears. >jingle the bell< comes up with a lot of crazyness. be aware and just keep the spirit alive!

after the returning of swr in may 2008 with the >never forget ep< swr strikes back just 1 month later with the next release: >i stay hard<. techno artist sven wittekind stays for hard techno like no other artist in europe, since 2001 he brings his supporters worldwide the hard & innovative techno sound in their recordcases. he would never change to minimal like the others: he stays hard, fresh & innovative in what he is doing! both tracks on this release are well done, with a good feeling for the dancefloor, but also for listening at home or in the car. enjoy the nightflight and stay hard

just amazing funky stuff, plus a tech house driven christian prommer remix (sonar kollektiv)

karolin müller is the first female artist in the hi freaks family and blinky is her long awaited first release. blinky starts with a subversive retro groove, the loop is driven by a flanged hihat and ends up in a funny, funky break, where the theme hits the track and pushes it too the next level. our swedish pac man agaric eats >blinky< alive and gives him a very rough and hypnotic treatment with his remix on the b-side. snake, rattle n roll: the title is just perfect to caracterise this track, imagine a snake winding through a synthesiser modulating itsself over and over again, sounds weired... thats what it is ... a great uncommon halucinating track…

limited clear vinyl! once again the dumbster returns with another belter, and what a rework to choose. the mighty afx classic from 1990. keeping to the original but updating it just enough for the floors for 2008!

the legendary club u60311 in frankfurt has opened up a brand-new hotspot for minimal right in the heart of the city, going by the name of 311. paired with this, an affiliated label - dreielf recordings - has also been launched. the residents michael kohlbecker, one part of the saafi brothers, and frankfurts newcomer peter eilmes are releasing the fruits of their cooperation in their home studio, and putting an already-established scene hit onto vinyl with - tabasco. the original of the record impresses with its anthemic character, which may have been due to the fat bass-line and the striking trumpet. despite its monotony, a real jewel for every record case and just the stuff to get happiness dripping from the club ceiling. the remix by alexi delano, on the other hand, is somewhat deeper and more melodic at the same time, but still contains all the ingredients necessary for a proper shot of tabasco. sonic monogamy or fat kick basses make this remix unique. the dominant trumpet and the scraping percussion of the berliner andre crom make this remix an absolute guarantee of ecstasy. tabasco is hot and burns like hell!

after his airwalk/overrun 12-inch, henrik b obviously felt like dropping something more noisy and pounding. his remix of >let it drop< by dj delicious is just that. with the usual thick and somewhat trancey synth sounds always coming from the leading producers in sweden recently, it fits perfectly in any kind of driving electro set. includes john dahlback s huggotron remix

brothers bud boldly return with a double dose of peak time finger lickin dopeness in the form of the sting/remedy. dom bud is the in house engineer for micky slims productions, so its no surprise that the electro flavours have rubbed off. the stings synth bassline buzzes and stabs amongst distinctly rolling rhythms, neither sitting in the breakbeat camp nor electro, just where we like it! on the flip remedy is pure finger lickin. clicking, disco stabs and cowbells, laced with fat drums and dreamy house vocals make this an essential addition to the ever expanding brothers bud armoury

split ep of dark metallic hard-fun from the human shield mixing funnel. manasyt leaves his manners at home and takes the a side by force with two solid cuts of pure industrial horror: wrist sewing leaves little to the imagination whilst his bloc 08 set opener vibro speeds up the synth suspense until your loins are sore and your mind is truly spent. overworked and underpaid north wales bedroom musician cestrian (bunker/monox) softens the blow just a bit on the reverse with his hearse giving you the perfect funeral, driving off into the near distance with dead waves and metallic shards of fluctuating hiss. the stately anti funk of rizzla teeth brings us to a conclusion with gun metal grey sneers of contempt and harrowing neg vibe downer skree. suit up and dig in!
