his music is like a waterfall on house – organic, constantly running,sparkling and fresh.it could be the background tune for magazine beauties in st. tropez,it feels like a drive through californian valleys,or it may as well be the soundtrack tune for a full moon party on the greek islands - yes, it might indeed just be the result of many a club year. just as well, however, we can look at it as some sort of a flip side to those busy and dark times of dull and hard work back in the days, something to simply relax andm make you smile, after a hard days work, with a cigarette in one hand and a smooth drink in the other… imagine a piece of roxy music, a dancefloor in northern italy - some time in the late 80s - and joe smooths promised land.see what i mean?you picture this?well,in that case you have a pretty good idea of robertos serenades style.the original version of tell me feat.kholi is taken from the upcoming album dawn.

sometimes things turn out different than planned. that also applies for remixes one does for other labels: >the lost remixes< features two personal favourite remixes by sascha dive, now seeing a release on vinly for the first time. side a offers a gentle & laid-back remix for neggheads >being< that warms-up every dance-floor just like a sweet summer breeze. sascha dives remix for the basil classic >time to be free (free world)< on side b is a lot more four to the floor and with its almost epic groove yet proven another track that you’ll hear in clubs at any time of the night. listen up!

i was finishing up a long extended set in paris when the cleckcleckboom crew practically ran into the club to get on the decks. i had hung out with them before but tonight they had all new tracks and an incredible energy. so i stayed past the last ravers just to hear what they would play and that was when i heard “hugz” by french fries and bamabounou. this was a new sound, some nasty nasty shit sitting somewhere between juke and bass music and and i knew we had to get this sound on dirtybird no matter what. needles to say “yo vogue” is hot property and i’m really excited to release it on dirtybird. the half time drop, the chopped and screwed vocal, the stuttering bass kicks, the creepy moog on top - it’s simple and complex at the same time and it wrecks shop whenever it gets played. i did a remix on the b side giving it some db flavor and dirtybird newcomer leroy peppers lays out his own bay area skeeze with hot sauce on top. watch yer bass bins! best, vonstroke.

nice price deal !!! vae victis is back for its 2nd release and is glad to welcome the very first debut of nightjars. with this 4 tracks ep the label shifts on a different musical path, sound and style wise. sound wise, both sides are written, mixed and produced on hardwares and polarized on a ferromagnetic tape. technically, side a (raw side) is mixed with a tough multitrack mixer brought to its saturation limit: the sound is indeed distorted, raw and unfriendly. while the flipside (clean side) is instead mixed with a big class a vintage studio mixer. the sound is brighter, richer of harmonics and the infrasounds are charged thru a wide dynamic range. style wise,the label shifts on a more broken beat field, lets call it bass, dubstep or whatever, but anyway something which should put this vinyl in the records bags of all the lovers of shed, peverelist and horsepower productions to name a few.

astounding new material beamed via shemales atomic allotment,concealed in an outermost shadowy recess of darkest hyperborea. the musical paintbrush creates a harsh, barren landscape for hell transformation screens as deeply brooding electro and dramatic synthesisers propel each musical journey in its own unique style.there is an indescribable and mystifying tension which builds within the work of shemale, the opening cut, dead city photographs being a prime example. the soundbite here simply cannot pay justice to this tack as a whole,as the intro (which incidentally cannot be heard in the sample) is quite simply outstanding,with deadly,steely synths preparing the listener for an unmistakable and impending doom, which is ultimately realized in the dense, desolate sense of desperation interpreted in the final ambient-drones of tomb. converted followers of the atmospherically articulate shemale will need no further persuasion,as this will undoubtedly be a compulsive steal, but for those with an appetite for the darker side of twenty-first century electro, then there has never been a better moment to plunge into the shadows of atomic allotment. special limited edition pack includes matte postcard insert.

zooloft records is approaching to the era of future tech-noir and this release is the result of an internal process of thoughts and ideas behind them. it tells the story of a sad wanderer who is trying to find the path to personal truth. outside, a desolate scenario of modern architectures of cold glass, standing to the edge of horizon. a wonderland of mirrors and empty landscapes: the triumph of solitude. the a side starts with a complex and claustrophobic dark-techno driver which sets a point of no-return. an obsessive pattern of sub-frequencies collides with breaths from the beyond. sound paranoia. the highest frequencies create phrenetic and compulsive rhythms to make the dynamics imploding. the heroes of modern-age industrial techno, orphx, make the path to truth harder. they trace an obscure reinterpretation of the a side with a percussive alarm that marks the time, while dense and anxious atmospheres are followed by syncopated beats and distorted high-frequencies. the breaths from the beyond are now closer than ever. the ep gets closed by an evocative, thoughtful and beatless composition. the perfect soundtrack for those who are wandering and wondering

magic wire label head lone picks another smasher, aptly titled delirium tremens, from the elusive neon jung with a suitably precise re-edit from nathan fake on the b.side, fresh after his last remix for radiohead. delirium tremens takes on flavours of garage, soul and psychedelia and glues it all together with an armour plated, mutant electro backbone designed to make the dancefloor lose it for 4 minutes but still keeps the soul firmly intact. its another demonstration of neon jungs ability to take influences from many genres and join the dots to create something fresh, but with all the right reference points to make this accessible to everyone from your backpacking beat head to the hardcore club frequenters. the bass in the first drop of this track is just berserk – theres no other word for it. the b side sees nathan fake up the tempo but draw it out, making this perfect for the more patient crowd. it has nathans signature beat all over it – it rotates, swings and soars gloriously until it finally ends in a warm afterglow, complementing the original perfectly in its grower not a shower approach.

big with erol alkan, gerd janson, brontosaurus, axel boman... jaakko eino kalevi following up his well recieved album >modern life< with the >chamber of love ep<. its a bit unusual i have to admit, but i can ensure you, you will enjoy it. the b-side features remixes by sling & samo and >shes the line mix< will do some serious damage on the dancefloor

the second catalog number of the young label sono vivo is from the artist falomir. in his music he reflects inspiration of different cultures and artists. energetic and colourful would be the attributes to describe the track >asere<. melodious – impulsive sounds meet in an interaction that brings good mood. percussion and the sound of xylophone make this track to an experience which reminds of the beginning of spring … or maybe beautiful summer days! apart of this, you find on the a-side a remixed version from daniel mehlhart of >asere<.
