man/machine: viennas elektro guzzi challenge the meaning of live in electronic music. bored of laptop sets? with a classic setup of guitar, bass and drums elektro guzzi quantize themselves to an unheard level of discipline, tightness and danceability. no computers, no pre-recorded loops, no solos. probably the first time techno is really played live. as sequential as they may sound, they couldnt be more analogue. but however traditional they may look as a band, they certainly do not sound like one. the quest for the ultimate live presentation of techno has come to an end.

spring time is knocking at the door, baby!!! days are getting longer and skirts are getting shorter. you were seated peacefully on a terrasse, sipping your gin and juice, and blaaaaaam

the story of this record includes one day in m(dm)ay, anarchic after-hours, laptops, gurner-djs and the need of pressing something that sounded nice, uplifting, somehow kompakt, pop-trance and just so convincing on a 12-inch. databoy78 thought the same and here we go with a seductive and hypnotizing drama. flip the script for a splendid remix by zurichs super dj lexx (zukunft, sometimes known as kawabata and switzerlands version of dj premier back in the day) who houses tings up and giving away a dope swiss beatz excursion on top of it all. lemonade was a popular drink and it still is.

first ep from dj qu on deep vibes with remixes from brothers vibe and a very special 14 minutes long remix from label boss sascha dive

>angles< stretches guitar strings like taffy through a forest of finger snaps and slow-motion electro shudder, with a cycling chorus teasing out medieval melodies. >materials< is quicker of spirit, with a rippling pulse played out on muted jazz drums, shuttling between blocked piano chords and silvery oscillators and weaving an irresistible groove. its beautiful, unexpected and absorbing music-and theres nothing else out there that sounds like it.

mozaics trembles with excitement, when the low kick starts and draws in electronic sounds. &#8232,,extrawelt fulfil their promise here of sneaking >electronic sounds< into trax that are made for the dance floor.&#8232,, >mozaik< is a track that works with different genres of music, piano chords meet acid basslines meet distorted sounds ala ricardo tobar.

big with mihalis safras, piemont, afrilounge, phonique, someone else, anthony collins, stephan bodzin!! slim, sporty and very casual- thats the way in which current number 18 on acker records sneaks into listeners ears and hereby wonderfully illustrates the much longed for beginning of the open air season in europe. other than the name justin side implies, its even two dudes from denmark who conjure up this unusual voodoo. bedded on a gently shaking groove and larded with tropical warm percussion and lots of vocals, the magic takes effect immediately but still unobtrusively. beside the original mix, the groove of the a-side includes a minimal club mix by mister mollono.bass that creates rather nightly associations in its straightforward manner. on the flipside he pulls out some other stops of his sound repertoire and calls the sunbathed result very appropriately his summer mix. last but not least the unmistakable, humorous organ sounds of rundfunk3000 represent the unique, local mecklenburg version of a mighty voodoo magic.

roberto bosco is becoming a household name these days in electronic music. he burst on to the scene with a remix of juan atkins classic >game one< in 2007 on orlando voorns nightvision records. since then, hes gone on to get praise from françois k, who has regarded robertos music as having an effortless quality. an almost dazzling sense of ease that masks a very strong foundation. a depth and musical maturity that belies his young age. this penned him to his >my universe< ep release on wave music earlier this year. now, mr. bosco has outdone himself with this 2 tracker ep release for minimalsoul recordings. simply put, its a timeless journey into the new sound of electronic music as we know it today. >biosphere ep< is a diamond in the rough and a positive input to quality underground electronic music!

bringing the virtuosity into contemporary dancemusic, two protagonists found themselves as being the new dreamteam of the scene: thomas melchior and bruno pronsato. and it works perfectly- melchior, the perfectionist who always sets new standards regarding minimal house music and pronsato, the scientist who discovers the unheard and the unbelievable. both living in berlin, melchior & pronsato connected their world of sound and built one of the loveliest records in the whole universe of reduced deepness. on >puerto rican girls< melchior & pronsato play the most wonderful rhodes-line ever created connected with a never-to-stop-rhythm that could last for ages. it features the voice of ninca leece, who just released a super sweet record on bruno pronsatos imprint thesongsays. pure love! on the b-side >we make it right< brings together what belongs together- a fluffy bassline with that kind groove which makes the sun shining brighter.

coming from the heart of bosnia, solomun is a passionate dj who certainly knows how to please a crowd and keep the energy on the floor. equally as talented and creative in the studio, he has many releases to his name on his own label diynamic, as well as other imprints such as four:twenty, liebe*detail and dessous recordings. made for the dancefloor, his productions always have an element of funk or surprise, reminding people of the fun thats there to be had with music. as a label with many close ties to mobilee records, diynamic will be co-hosting a party at mobilees sonar 2010 celebrations, which makes it even more fitting that this release brings the two forces more closely together. solomuns next big bang, being brought to you via leena music, is a sure extension of his impeccable production skills and style, and is also one of the most unique releases you will here on the label so far. a-side >sisi< opens with a head-spinning explosion of notes and chords, being fired out like sparks in a continual loop. then half way through the record, they dramatically stop, only to soon build up again and set the roller coaster off once more. b-side >talk to the hand< is a bass-heavy and punchy track, that surprises you with euphoric piano chords in the second half, whilst b2 >curesto< brings all of the elements together with piano chords, build-ups and some drama. enjoy!

emptiness isnt a quality you normally associate with electronic dance music. from the crowd on the associate with electronic dance music. from the crowd on the dancefloor to the weight of the bass, its all about fullness, volume, density. reboot turns that opposition on its head with his debut album, shunyata. the title comes from buddhism and translates loosely as >emptiness.< but not just in the negative sense: it speaks also to impermanence, a state of constant flux. its a great description of reboots music, where everything is in constant and kaleidoscopic motion. and its also a fitting metaphor for the life of the frankfurt-based musician, aka frank heinrich. in just three years, since his first eps under the reboot moniker appeared on cadenza and below, hes become one of electronic musics hottest properties, releasing not only a slew of singles for labels like cocoon, love letters from oslo, ricardo villalobos >sei es drum< and underground cult fave motivbank, but also a pair of high-profile mix cds for cocoon and cécille

much awaited return to lost trax! scsi-av has been a well respected electro and techno label since it was born in september 2008. almost 12 years later and after a short break scsi is back with a classy detroit techno record which has been sat in the vaults for quite some time waiting patiently to be released. as the second part of the lost trax series. expect deep bass, booming 808 kicks and carl craig-esque sounding strings. the production on both sides of this record is amazing showing the digital generation that analogue kit still sounds supreme. the lost trax series is a project for producers who have inspired the label to record something special and release anonymously as we dont believe its necessary to sell music on the strength of a specific artists reputation.

supported by piemont, marco carola, chris liebing, danny tenaglia, deepchild, orde meikle / soma, igor tchkotoua (pig and dan),philip sherburne, derek plaslaiko, leo leal, axel bartsch, toni d!! this is something of a departure for our label, and one were very proud of. &#8232,,,we are happy to say jules made these 4 outstanding tracks with a lot of soul and passion. a lot of influences have lead to the making of these tracks. his uncle has a recording studio near frankfurt where jules spend endless hours, before he started to play in a soul band at the age of 13! his career as a drummer lead to a final show in berlin in the >tempodrome club< and there would be more to add, but let the music speak for itself..

great remix package from this new dutch label !! future releases will feature paul >damage< bailey and cane (aka funckarma) . screed is the new acid techno orientated project from labelowner and artist guilty gramatics and a >special friend<. the sound of screed is dedicated to the underground techno scenes dancefloors and clubs and sets the norm for future artists to be released this year like cane aka funckarma (warp, ad noiseam etc.) alongside appearances by paul bailey aka paul damage. international techno artist damon wild from synewave records supports this first release with a deep dancefloor remix bomb and label friend nick dunton aka the 65d mavericks from surface records also comes round with a great modern remix of the original

detroit underground introduces the thirteenth installment to their formidable series. function kero ep maintains the same complex connection to abstraction as its antecedents. three remixes from the most surreptitious circles fracture and fuse musical styles from, detroit techno, dubstep, minimal to popping tech-house, all keeping with det.unds signature idm/glitch sound. much like a puzzle piece or a clue vol.13 brings you closer to the core of the 313

ooooooh yeeeaaah!!! haasten is here! one of technos fastest rising stars brings his strongest ep to date with two huge tracks you will be hearing lot of this summer! egbert returns to gem… >haasten< (translates into hurrying) has been destroying crowds during egberts live sets around the globe for the past few months. a dark commanding bass line that skips over the beat is accompanied by a retro sounding orchestral jab to create what is looking to become one of this years biggest techno tracks! the b-side >yourself< has also proven to be a crowd pleaser and is paving the way for the future of percussion based techno. the punishing drums, deep basses, narrow mids and rattling hats kick ass throughout the track before taking a break for 30 seconds to introduce some melody and continue on mercilessly afterwards. a mean f*cking package!

>vibrational studies (in echospace)< is an alternate version of album opener >in echospace< and revolves around a relentless cycle of washed-out analogue loops layered around submerged field recordings and electric currents that somehow propel the track while at the same time immersing it in one of the headiest mixes hitchell and modell have ever recorded. >symbolism in transition< finds modell deploying a deep and padded configuration with a sort of late night shuffle so beloved of move d, all squashed house vibes, sparkling melodic currents and bursts of barely- there white noise û its a gentle, beautiful thing.

remixes from derrick carter aka maestro, mr. houze and jordan fields

the third release from one records, comes from one half of the backbone to the project, subb-an, one the uks finest young talents who delivers an anthemic package with >soul skool<. >soul skool< is unapologetically gripping, opening with moody atmospheric keys before settling into an iconic bassline, and teasing with the vintage sounds of early house vocals and rasping brass instruments. this is the distinctly vivacious sound of subb-an, matched with an equally alluring shaun reeves remix.

2 funky disco classics by kool & the gang on this collectable 7 inch.

the next entry for the fof? label sees meadow taking the healm. meadows remix of previous release, >kheema<, takes the dubby-ness of the original to new heights and ratchets up the intensity with an undulating warming pad that laps over the senses whilst elements of the original tease in the back ground. >the cheese< takes the ep in an alternative direction, stepping over into dub step territory with oh so deep bass stabs underpinning the skankin percussion with traditional dub elements sparkling in the foreground. rounding of the ep is >6 steps<, a musically crafted slice of deep house for the afterparty complete with hazy melodies.

south london boy jitterbug drops his 2nd ep on uzuri after his well received debut >raw winter< early 2009. he pretty much continues where he left off. raw, deep cuts, strictly for the heads with even more attention to the detail. taking in disco, via chicago, detroit and london! a self assured 2nd ep and strictly unmissable!

and we are back for ep three. its a get together between master rick and young kyle. and its time to turn things up a notch. kyle hits it unbelievably hard with >after fall<. have you ever tried head banging to disco music? if not, now is the time, because this track will make you do just that. there is no denying. banger! on the b-side the godson eases down a little and lifts the classic >love & happiness< a capella to work it into a hypnotic groove. build it up! the third track sees kyle and rick teaming up, where kyle provides the drums and rick delivers the groove. a futuristic piece of jazz techno, 22nd century shit, that plays with your mind and demands you to move.

steve summers is back with his third ep, this time around for greeces echovolt label. summers continues to play with his main inspirations, the energy and grit of hardy tape edits, melodies of larry heard, and deep bass tones of william s. this four track ep manages to capture a feeling of experimentation and authenticity thats often missing in modern dance music. strong 12 with timeless chicago house tracks! very cool!

here a private pressing of 200 copies with some exciting works of mr bottin who is for sure one of the most active producers in the new disco umwelt this year! one super sweet and sexy track called sage oil. disco just dont get much hotter then this. flip side had a track called hot lizard which is a rawer and more masculine piece as many of us might know from the typical italian police series and horror movie scores from the late 70s and early 80s. recommended!

from franco cinellis main remix to his nyc bass line mix going through the hatapella tool, the man in charge takes all the glass original elements remodeling them to higher grounds. franco cinellis genius blend of dubby techno with original 90s nyc house synths and bass lines proves once again to be the perfect balance. this re-edition record follows up on two brilliant edits on aux-rec, baker man by soul clap and caught up by childhood 87. by aux-rec criterion, it will only come out on 12 inch vinyl. franco cinellis nyc bass line mix will be accessible as bonus to record-buyers only.

technopassion presents a single from george le nagelaux that is a musical stroke of genius: >das dunkel spricht< (the darkness speaks), a lovely composition of dreamily-dark synthesizer sounds which meld perfectly harmonic with a contemplative vocal. the austrian master remains true to the techno spirit and combines the ensemble with a irresistible, hard as bone bassline and a solid pumping groove. the original mix is the perfect tune for turning the dancefloor into a boiling pot during the prime time. the dub version is slower, but not less driving and will enjoy great popularity among the devotees of smooth sounds.
