who said the wait wouldnt be worth it? the brothers in house fritz zander and sven von thülen have made themselves somewhat scarce over the past year. after having impressed in 2008 with their ep >get up<, remixes for artists including ratman, elphine and oorsprong, and tracks on the watergate 02 compilation, their audible activities the following year remained confined to fritz zanders superb 12 inch >connection< and successful compilation appearances on >ten years cocoon ibiza< and >time warp<. now there is finally something new, and the current zander vt release certainly lives up to the promise of its title: >some more< picks up where >get up< left off. its fourno-frills house pearls prove resoundingly that continuity doesnt have to entail standing still.
supported by... miss kittin, monika kruse, michel de hey, chris liebing, sian, derek plaslaiko, max cooper, christian martin, joseph capriati, kaiserdisco, orde meikle/ soma, deepchild, patrice baumel, kandel, mihalis safras, electric indigo patrick pulsinger, igor tchkotoua! hailed as one of the big tunes in their dj sets by the likes of dominik eulberg and triple r. >baked potato< is an excursion into deep waters, dirt paths, rocky hill tops and descending slopes. this track might be the only one roland m. dill has done so far that bends and twists the dynamic in different ways, making it a forceful techno epic.
this debut lp by innergaze is chock full of rugged hand played analog synths lines, primitive drum machines, haunting vocals, and psychic jewelry. call it synthwave, call it punk, call it metaphysical body music or at this juncture whatever one sees fit, but this duos music goes beyond naming names for the sake of it. from the freaky, unrelenting opener >no shame< to the chris & cosey-esque >la la la<, this record creates many aural worlds to inhabit and explore. the title track >we are strange loops< bubbles at a slow, hazy drug induced bpm, while >illusions<, with its distorted almost guitar-like synth lines and stripped down 808 programming, brings things right back to the dance floor. the ideas and feelings executed here are a direct outpouring of what happens when the machines are turned on, played and recorded.
fresh from the highly anticipated phonique lp, kissing strangers, we present this super package based around the track our time our chance featuring the haunting vocals of ian whitelaw.

huge 4-track ep by stormtrooper, showing the variety of styles he can produce. sweet poisonous lips takes you on a poisonous 10 minute journey through the sounds of industrial hardcore, techno and even electro. the track is definitely nonstandard and will also find its way to the more techno orientated floors. the 2nd track on the a-side tinning starts of a lot harder, but also realigns to the techno floors during the melodic electro break.the highlight on this ep is flight instinct on the b1, a hard, but atmospheric industrial crossover track with hard drum & bass elements. if youre into tracks like hells basement from outside agency, then this should be your choice.the b2 extreme body reactions is definitely the most freaky track of this ep with very cool and evil sounds.another must have for all the industrial heads out there!!

nach fünf jahren im luftraum des rock n roll mit zwei hochgelobten alben, atemberaubenden supports für maximo park und wolfmother sowie unzähligen club- und festival-konzerten, ist nun das von den fans mit spannung erwartete, dritte album der kreuzberger gods of blitz startklar. einhergehend mit den veränderungen in der besetzung - nico kozik übernimmt den gesang und carsten brocker bereichert den sound zukünftig mit dem minimoog - folgt >under the radar< gegenüber den vorgänger-alben einem etwas anderen kurs. während der erstling >stolen horse< mitreißend ungestüm dahergaloppierte, gefolgt von der wissenden mystik von >reporting a mirage<, übt sich der albumtitel des dritten albums, >under the radar<, in echtem understatement: alles andere als unmerklich wird der gods of blitz - sound hier auf eine neue ebene gehoben: entschiedener, hungriger und zielstrebiger und vor allem ein gutes stück ungeschliffener und ruppiger als in der vergangenheit. mit über 200 gespielten shows im rücken unterstreicht >under the radar< das selbstverständnis der band als live-band, denn das album versprüht die atmosphärische intensität einer live-show.
that juan maclean is just a bundle of contradictions. here he has created one of the years best mix cds — and not just a proper party mix, which it certainly is, but even what you might call an important mix, a timely lesson in the enduring spirit of house music — and how does he choose to describe the process of putting it together? as an >existential tailspin<.
jumping afro-beat instrumental scorcher by tiger stripes on the a-side. oldschool-house instrumental with trancy chords and rich string orchestration on the flip very much like recent kerri chandler output.
a lot has happened to blm since his last solo ep back in 2008, fatherhood being the main factor for his absence. thankfully the nappy changing musical magician didnt stop tinkering with his synths in that time has come back with a string of forthcoming productions that mark a real step up in quality for him. so, first up blm releases on home soil on his own fof label. garage is back keeps things silky smooth – simplicity is the key here, the percussive elements building slowly before the evocative vocal of suz brings a hypnotic sexyness to the whole affair. step to this is the logical progression from his last fof release (believe in love) with its skippy beats and uplifting stabs being a sure winner for the coming summer. mulletover promoter / dj / all around sexual dynamo geddes provides a rather splendid dub remix of garage is back on the flip. cleverly using key elements of the original to keep the flava but dipping the tempo to give it more of a groove based feel. we think its a high watermark for the man.. check it
this third release in the series mostly touches on the magic of jamie principle. however, this ep opens with a sublime deep vocal track originally released on trax sub-label saber in 1991 by ace & the sandman (who are also responsible for the virgo four tracks). featured here are some of jamie principles best tracks, produced by frankie knuckles. as with many trax releases, there are lots of unreleased , reel to reel only mixes around. we came across an unreleased version of >bad boy<. the quality is not at best, but we included it nevertheless. magic stuff!

second release on the new ibadan offshoot, public service recordings. >life story< gets the ball rolling with some bumping disco-fueled peaktime house, with a strong female vocal dominating atop a bed of funky bass, stellar synth lines, and solid house beats. yohan squares >love of life< takes the mood a little deeper with some lush late night house, blending sweeping textured synth lines behind a deep bassline groove and shuffling late night house beats. on the reverse, julian jonahs >jealousy of lies< is a detroit-flavored late night houser, with textured synth lines, a stellar spoken male vocal, and laidback beats and bassline all combining perfectly. last up is >rey-d<, a deep late night track that utilizes some fairly bumping beats behind a minimal bassline and rich chords for some minimal floor grooves.
