ilija rudman shouldnt need an introduction as for the last few years he has been releasing a constant stream of dance music under different guises. an analogue and vinyl purist his productions are always to the highest standard and electric minds is pleased to be working with the croatian producer once again. ilija delivers two bumper tracks for the a side of this release, most definitely a nod to the 80s boogie sound with both productions thumping with bass throughout. for the b side we welcome michael j collins who recently released his ep through electric minds alongside ly sander. since working with electric minds, michael has been extremely busy remixing for the likes of swayzak, moodymanc as well as releasing an ep for hypercolour and working on many more releases for several berlin based labels. michael brings his signature 4/4 house beats to the remix, a raw dubby and psychedelic house take on the original. all in all a great package that is sure to appeal to house and disco heads alike.

this time its no less than fabio giannelli who does the honours, delivering a strong piano driven track true to the original chicago house feeling.
to keep that us house vibe in the loop, we asked brothers vibe to finish it off on the flipside, which resulted in a remix which speaks for itself!

james holden may not be a household name, but to fans of adventurous, progressive electronic sounds, the british techno sorcerer and psychedelic shaman is renowned as a genius. so revered are his talents that he has been tapped to remix some of pop music most eminent stars, including madonna, depeche mode, & britney spears, though as this mix demonstrates, his tastes tend more to the cerebral than those associations suggest. head of the zeitgeist-defining label border community which boasts fellow forward thinkers nathan fake & extrawelt on its roster, holden can count himself amongst that very modern breed of dj with a special knack for layering the most surprising of records with an unparalleled musical ear. his status as a free-spirit unconstrained by genre or scene is now championed by independent stalwart !k7, who have called up holden to deliver the next installment in their definitive mix series dj-kicks. holdens masterfully eclectic mix includes the first solo holden single in four years >triangle folds<, and his exclusive previously unreleased remix of mogwais >the sun smells too loud<.

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.

mule electronic proudly announce the debut release of italian producer >donato dozzy< who have released from the various label like prologue, time to express, curle and name a few. this time donato invited his friend >claudio fabrianesi<.

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.

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!

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.

receiving new, original music from dave switch taylor whipped the whole your army office into a frenzy. under his solid groove moniker he has been responsible for some of the most exciting, raw, jackin house music to come out of the uk… >throwing stones< continues that fine tradition … a deep outing with heavy drums, haunting string refrain and clever vocal cuts… its great to have him back! new signing to the dubsided camp is subskrpt who first caught our attention with his dubstep remix of major lazer >cashflow< and then a blinding remix of rusko >woo boost< … he now releases his first original record custom made for the new dubsided mix compilation titled >dubsided one<.

q: who are q & a?
a: q & a are quinn luke & alexis georgopoulos.

q: how did quinn and alexis meet?
a: the two were introduced by chris veltri, owner of legendary record shop groove merchant in san francisco. veltri and luke had made a pair of plunderphonic dusted disco 12 inches under the name coppa. georgopoulos was a founder of the group tussle and asked if coppa would do a tussle remix. this led to luke acting as producer on the tussle album telescope mind.

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!

one of the rare new terrence dixon releases... this time on the nice meakusma. the two original tracks are two deep space jams with and from a detroit mindset, the remixes on the flipside by upperground orchestra take the >room 310< track into deep jazz territory. cosmic insanity! very much recommended!

after a rather long break, this june will finally see the next release on orphanear records, the berlin-based label ran by pawel, who recently celebrated the release of his highly praised first full-length album on dial records. orphanear 004 introduces a stunningly talented singer and songwriter from denmark, called gry. she isnt new to the music world at all, worked previously on critically acclaimed projects with fm einheit and under various other project names such as the loverz and aeter with jacob kirkegaard. orphanear releases two remixes of her track >all comes<, that will be included on her forthcoming ep >anima<. one beautifully deep and masterfully produced remix by german wunderkind christian loeffler and a peak time stomper by adultnapper from new york. prepare to hear much more soon from this lady with the amazing voice.

this is a well-rounded compilation of material from various plan b recordings artists. up first is dakini9s remix of >swine<, a track originally made by spider & lola. this is a deep, minimal techno track, with squealing pigs and industrial sounds which were recorded in pig slaughter houses and have been layered throughout the track. second up is courages >mildred< track. this is one of those tracks that just makes you want to dance, period. this is from his >feast or famine ep<, which will be coming out later this year. the third track is from detroits very own bileebob (underground resistance, detroit grand pubahs), who teams up with his agriculture partner, marshallito. here we have an amazing array of driving drumbeats and chaotic synth work that blends perfectly together for an infectious, grooving dance floor banger! the final track is from dj spider: a deep house track, with a funky bass line, nice synth work and a good driving beat. this house track completes the compilation and also gives you a taste of the diversity of this labels sound.

second release on the b rand new imprint from those lovely people over at the acclaimed sleazybeats blog. after their first two releases selling out in record time, sleazy beats recordings is quickly proving to be the go-to label for buy on sight disco-sleaze. they are back for more this time with their third release, and it seems third time is a charm, with a smashing record by tornado wallace, a hot new mid-tempo guru from melbourne, who delivers a blistering ep of dirty, pitched down head nodders.

tbd first made a noteworthy noise with the release of >what is this?<, their 2009 debut that found favor with critics, djs and audiences for both its seditious take on dance music – and avoidance of worn-out conventions – and sheer sublimity. it was fitting success for an outfit founded by two musicians who, bored by the sounds around them, set out to >create something new, fresh and not confined by restrictive genre pigeonholing.< on the heels of that pitch-perfect release, as well as remixes for luminaries including permanent vacation, runaway, 2020 soundsystem and populette, to name just a few, tbd – comprising rong musics lee douglas and ex-!!!/outhud bassist and producer justin vandervolgen – is back with a 12 inch of idiosyncratic new music.

in the dark shadows of the rooftops of haknam we meet esc.eip, who enriches haknams second release with his affinity for deconstruction. his elements appear, melt and fade away to materialise in a deep, winding, dusky jam. the ever transforming structures contrast paranoid harmonies with the forceful percussive rolls, as in >unsound behaviour<. on the b side is >miraa<, the aftertaste of a blissed out acid trip, soft shades build a warm space in which a lost saxophone appears and disappears.

back again we have the mediterranean flavor of the friends affkt and alberto sola. always experimenting with different ingredients like the cooker ferran adria, the guys who laid the first stone of the legendary label barraca, now present a hybrid of pop and house which will leave no one indifferent. ‘pobla loves you’ was born with the tuba of alberto cuartero, orchestra director of hoya gonzalo in albacete. marc and alberto (affkt and sola) wanted to have a typical instrument of a band and merged it with the electronic dance scene, always being faithful to his maxim of making music to dance as well as to listen. if we surround valencia, road to pobla de farnals, we passed through la canada. there are los updates, who upon hearing the organic rhythm of pobla and the work with the wind instruments, set to work with the voices. perfectly adapted to the capital of the turia river, jorge and loreto propose a valencian poem that their children have learned at school. the moon of valencia then join our dinner for four. finally, we add to our paella a bit of percussion and keyboards made in affkt, to get a main course and obtain a typical valencian plate but by adding a little chilean salt becomes international. more oriented to the dance floor, there are three rather different remixes. new union between spain and chile, with danny fiddo and felipe venegas. this couple present an elegant and deep remix with drums and vocals perfectly adapted to the current sound. moreover, the french man darlyn vlys re-interpreted >pobla loves you< with a lot of groove and percussion added. finally, affkt gives his funker version of events to complete a job that will come out by the german label international freakshow

suspect - unfinished business ... lock your windows ... close your doors ... contact interpol - connecting to the internet is not recommended ... >> your systems have been infiltrated << ... both the airborne and online viruses will spread any information you thought was safe is now compromised ... responsible is an enigma who has been accused of occult activities, a man whose house has been raided by the anti-terrorist squad. having been arrested for action art events in warehouses involving dubious objects, he is a producer whose art and music runs the fine line between creativity and illegality. returning from the depths of his underground research facility in berlin where he had been quarantined, suspect has >unfinished business<.

ltd 2010 repress !! massive hit by the guys who did victor casanova, big with everybody! karotte, laurent garnier, kiki, davide squillace....

inally, this club smasher from londons underground blog merchants venom and damage is due for release! having cut their teeth in londons gutter house bass movement with tracks like >love in the club<, >paradise slugs< and their >maximum carnage< mixtapes, venom and damage drop a new take on the uks house sound, in the form of >deeper<. its hard edged production, syncopated rhythms and anthem-like synths are recognisable from a mile off and are no doubt what has been causing such a stir in the clubs. if youve seen modeselektor any time in the past 12 months, chances are youve gone nuts to this track – so big, the guys included it as a focal point of their recent global live sets, and featured it on their resident advisor podcast. it has also and gained support from djs such as adam freeland, marcus nasty, martyn, brodinski, jackmaster, xxxy, julio bashmore and more. deeper becomes the first release on the ten thousand yen imprint, co-run by the uks rising star doc daneeka and its the man himself who delivers on remix duties, keeping the strong melodic feel, but giving it that more oppressive basement vibe.

a made up sound bringing house for the emotionally unstable on 003. drunkenly swaggering along, the punchy discofied-bass-clap-whatever ‘alarm’ is owned by a pair of synth stabs that got out of bed with the wrong foot first. after an almost clowny breakdown, moody pads soon make clear this track ain’t funny at all... ‘crisis’ on the b-side is all about restraint. thick house-not-house beats and a thumping acid bassline move on and on while a vacuum cleaner blues and hazy will-o-the-wisp-like strings slowly creep under the skin. those who like it nice and shiny better think twice... killer twelve!

new bootleg label - super class deep and tech house tunes by a famous but scret producer.. guess who

support by: in flagranti, toby tobias, andy black, munk, bottin, babyg, massimiliano pagliara, dicodromo, rayko, clap rules, love supreme, club silencioà after record, slow motions follow up û wrong era ep is set to catapult this small italian label into the big time. this time around and its all about the charms of italys very own motorcycle boy who delivers two stunning original tracks backed up with white hot remixes from the heels of love and old school disco legend fabrizio mammarella. try begins as a sleazy electro disco cut, thats swaggers along until breaking out with melodic strings that lighten the mood, before things drop back down to a perfect 4am groove that john carpenter would have been proud to call his own.

techno and house heavyweights chymera and king roc who both delivered not one but 2 mixes for this ep!

bop doo is a hot tempo dance slammer that scorches across cut up vocals and sensual synth treatments. intense and relentless, its definitely a tune for those with serious energy to burn. do not cross brings deep, warm edged stabs to big room beats to create a melody marathon for those who like to get funked up

there is certainly always a place for hugo, the man who has been heavily in demand for some time now. he has done great with his remix of mihalis safras original >there is no place<. his mix is a great house tune that invites us to celebrate the party and it is a cool track to feel well and happy with. the vocal sample is filtered in a nice way and has a cool hookline.

desolat are proud to present basti grub. basti is a young talented german producer and label owner from the vibrant frankfurt area. his musical journey begins at the age of 14 with a birthday present - an roland mc303 - and since then basti grub shapes his musical vision day and night. he regularly sent beats and tracks to dice who tested them on the road. after a while we had a collection of tracks for a nice 12inch and we simply had to share this music with you: modern groovin house with influences from all over the place. the 12inch comes on colored vinyl with fine artwork by our man florian pohl and will remain a collectors item.

tres gueros are three white brooklynites led by the amorphous producer sleazy mcqueen. this collaboration as a whole has been a few years in the making with two vocalists, two guitar players and if that wasnt enough, he brought in beef wellington for some additional synthesizing work.
this is a feel good indie-dance track that you will keep any crowd dancing. we have got some great remixers on board from nu-disco gurus anthony mansfield who runs hector works with partner and crime nick chacona. neighbour and his signature disco-house sound, along with newcomer dave allison who runs kinjo music. for good measure sleazy mcqueen has added a big room dub!

we will get more stock on friday 21th of may !!! brand new ep from sigha on hotflush recordings, a producer who has made quite a name for himself since affiliating himself with the hotflush family. deep, intricate and atmospheric techno is sighas style and this has to be a collection of his strongest music to date. absolutely awesome ep, dont sleep on this

nice price deal !!! berlin based resopal label head mri returns with his second remix package of tracks off his album heroes. this second 12 comes with 4-to-the-floor tracks which will kick, but in a very smooth and warm way. ahmet sisman is the turkish/ german sensation who is already making international waves with his strong batch of releases, flagged by sven väth and mathias kaden as one to watch. ahmet has been on mri s radar for sometime. with a dense impact of heavy efx and speaker-rattling low-end bass, ahmet is the perfect match for mris track filthy lesson to remix too. the b side contains the original mix by mri and is simply modern house that will blow your mind.

deep dubby basic channel influenced tracks by a known artist who remains unknown - the music speaks for itself. rare!

the third and last part of the outstanding 2010 compilation 12inch series celebrating one decade of dial records. pigon open the single with an awesomly deep and reduced techno mover. newcomer john roberts continues what he started with his work on laid and john dalys feel label: lovely house music with a touch real instrument music. another highlight of the jubilee compilation is the ultradeep >new heaven & earth< by christian naujoks, who presents his very first house tune. the 12inch series ends with the star of the moment pantha du prince who just released his third album. another pure love issue!

>privilege< deals with the fortune of living out a dream in a world that does not grant all people with the same opportunities. over the last year i had the fortune to visit places around the globe in which i felt the obscene wealth of opportunities i have in life. its hard to bear that the majority of humanity will never have the chance to even dream of who and what they could have been. (glitterbug about his new album)

a great collaboration of 2 great labels - balance alliance and mojuba. for ba it is dj aly who takes care of side a while mojubas oracy remixes the flip. limited clear vinyl!

bovie and rox have been blazing a trail at strictly rhythm with their own productions >stop playing with my mind< and >love me< as well as a superb remix of south st players classic >(who?) keeps changing your mind<. for this second bite of >love me we have handed the precious parts to atfc, who continues a rich vein of form with a clubbed up soultek vocal mix and a tough, trademark lektrotek dub.

after having contributed a remix a few years ago, green are proud and excited to welcome deetron for what is his debut release with us.
whether its creating the deepest and most soulful of house, or the grandest of emotional techno. deetrons ability to craft exquisite, timeless pieces is second to none.
>deetron is not only a good friend, but also an amazing producer who keeps the detroit spirit alive in his music.< - joris voorn
on >collide< that detroit spirit is evident once more. a majestic track, thats power is held in its euphoric synth arpeggio, which builds constantly to its climax. >dark matter< on the flip is a bassheavy, almost steppin affair, with a darker atmosphere that is brightened temporarily by the lush pads in the break.

might niko schwind be the new kingpin of house music? everybody needs to find out for himself of course and that is best done when listening to his freshest output for stil vor talent: the “midnightfunk” ep. it kicks off with the title track that features the great chicagoeske vocal skills of patrick blasa, who takes us in on this journey towards a time when house music ruled the waves of the club oceans. imagine a sticky slap bass, cowbells, high-pitched vocals and low-pitched male laughing plus of course the greatest thing about this scorcher: a somewhat jetlagged piano that seems to leap behind in one moment to then be right there again when it matters. ace!

allow us to introduce creatures of habit. the brainchild of dj/producer brenden wesley, the boston outfit s membership boasts a wild band of guest players, with musical virtuosos and analogue gear whores alike. relentless jam sessions between wesley and close pals chas bronz & robbie roland yielded lustre , their debut offering on the esteemed solardisco label. an aural innuendo anchored by a hypnotic, low-slung bassline, the song deftly trades in warm, flirtatious instrumentation and studio wizardry. through his akult party, brenden s not only honed his chops as a dj, he s befriended a whole host of the new disco cognoscenti. amongst them are brooklyn s own nick chacona, who recently released his debut long player on moodmusic to much acclaim, and dfa darlings runaway, who have been reeled in for remix duties. both artists head straight into house territory with decidedly different results. chacona shoots for the stars with his cosmic take on the original, adding just the right amount of sleaze and putting in one of his finest reworks in recent memory. runaway deepen things out with aplomb, dusting off the rhodes to drive their quirky mix home. connecting the dots between boston and brooklyn discotheques, this ep marks quite the auspicious debut for creatures of habit.

chris is very happy that his long term friend adam beyer from sweden, who runs the drumcode and truesoul labels (as most of you may know), has contribute to the 10 year anniversary label compilation. chris said >he managed to give me an amazing track that i have already been playing up and down since probably the beginning of last summer<. you have to know that most of these tracks have been collected over a period of at least the last six months. this one from adam is called >antistius< not only is chris out for having international artists on this compilation but also his home base in frankfurt equally has some amazing artists to offer. this track on the b-side is by clr artist and mastering engineer brian sanhaji who has also recently released his album on the label. his contribution to 10 years of clr is pretty phat. this one is called >higgs< and chris had already been playing it, all over the place, with amazing responses.

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.

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!

a new name appears in the hispanic techno scene: architectural, label and author, all in one. but who is the mind that draws the plans with this new pseudonym. we still ignore it, but this one, who has wanted to give free rein to the creativity that beat under his skin, has sculpted the first tracks that you will be able to listen, from a solid matter base composed by pure sonic techno with minimalist touches from chicago, with detroit streaks and forged alloy derived from the most genuine soul.

the french label pilbus records has decided to strike hard with this new ep, offering us great tracks by nathan hell, who took part of the label adventure a few months ago. >heloise< is a really important track for nathan who expressed his feelings to produce a heavy but groovy bassline gimmick around which the rhythm revolves.

early support from: danny tenaglia, dubfire, timo maas, slam, laurent garnier, joris voorn, dave ellesmere, mihai popoviciu, hugo, gel abril, tim green, federico grazzini, audiojack, marcin czubala and many more ...
