the third 12 inch in this essential edit series sees greg wilson reference his past as a disco dj in the late 70s and, subsequently, electro-funk pioneer of the early 80s. going way back to his golden guinea days, ruff wrap revitalizes a hidden gem from 1977 by lady love. this version of casey & finchs infectious miami groover, wrap your arms around me, was a record that, although never issued in the uk, was a particular club favourite on merseyside - its local popularity very much down to one of wilsons influences, terry lennaine, who championed the track on his weekly specialist soul show, keep on truckin. moving on 6 years to 1983, ruff rapp re-arranges the seminal west coast rap cut bad times (i cant stand it) by captain rapp, which was a monster tune on the black scene during the electro-funk era, having initially featured at wilsons club nights back then, legend and the hacienda in manchester, plus wigan pier. focusing on the social problems of the time, the subject matter of the lyric certainly translates to the current credit crunch climate. the crew behind >bad times< included jam & lewis and rich cason, whilst kimberly balls excellent vocal sets the whole thing off

amyl nitrate (commonly known as popper) is a chemical compound. it has a long history of safe medical use in treating angina. its also often inhaled with the goal of enhancing sexual pleasure.inhaling nitrates relaxes smooth muscles all over the body, including the sphincter muscles of the anus and the vagina. listening to the original version, it is easy to understand the reason behind such a title. a dark and obsessive techno-bass in its depths. acid, nervous loops on the surface. sex and sweat everywhere. here and there, two surrealistic, hypnotic melodies breaking the darkness of the bass loop. a mix of sharp and round, deeper sounds. the vinyl version also features 3 great remixes: the amazing electro-minimal rmx by the hacker, the spiritual-dark rmx by rubÚn montesco and the fresh club rmx by produkkt

jay haze(tuning spork) lends his analog ways to abe+blakes classic >disco lights<. the release includes a recut version of the original track ad well(adr07). the haze mix is thick and thumps. deep chords and deeper bass. a warm house version that keeps baxter lighting the way.

new ep from the superb evasive records featuring the cream of the tech-house crop with some amazing early feedback. galactic and house hunting we believe are the best tracks yet from coles & coker, and both tracks have already been destroying dancefloors in london & europe since before christmas, courtesy of evasive hq djs rob pearson and kirsten sees. the tracks have also been generating a lot of hype on internet radio show area38 (myhouse-yourhouse.net). jeff bennetts tracks are equally as good - in typical swedish style, ridzo and perma frost are truly twisted, abstract, and infectious grooves.

tuccillo joins delusions of grandeur for their forth release turning in two tracks of funk injected house that will work wonders on the dancefloor. hot from his releases with willie graff on freerange, circus company, drumpoet and liebe*detail, the ibizan producer delivers once again with a release that will put him firmly on the hype list for 2009. panorama is one of those tracks that will be played by djs right across the board and creates a killer vibe whether its at its original tempo of 118 or pitched right up for peak time action. the rolling beats, looped up guitar hit and siren synths create a mighty track that treads a familiar path but does so in such style that we challenge you not to get bitten by the bug. taken things in an altogether deeper, darker and more twisted direction with have switzerlands finest kalabrese taking care of the remix. his very capable hands and ears, not to mention vocal skills, have resulted in a warped, acidified excursion full of bottom end pressure and brilliant percussion. a real trip this one. finally, on the flip, we have tuccillos this time, taking things back into house territory with a funk filled workout that utilizes a pitched down vocal and horn stabs to great effect. that doesnt sound great on paper we know, but give it a listen cos it works a treat.

rene amesz is back with a bang with this excellent single on rising music. rene is at his best on this sleazy, low down dirty slab of tech house. his characteristic beats slide along underneath a filthy bassline and mesmerizing vocal loop. plenty of soaring synths keep this track building and building the whole way through. an essential track for every main room from london to sydney.

a brilliant pumping and body-shaking excursion >brain wash< on the a side. this muscled track drops dirty and tense beats over a persuasive fat bassline and acid-infused loops to liberate magic drops and increase the synths climax. a pearl for the big rooms! >hope this feeling< on the other side starts things with melodic and dreamy keyboard workout without forgetting groovy basslines until the vocals blends into dark synth loop and drives the whole track to hypnotic sensations.

vinyl only !! come and spend a night at the brand new loop hotel...! its a one-ofa-kind international spot where quality, infectious house and techhouse music is piped into every room. so exclusive that its visitors wish to remain anonymous, we are left only to imagine who might be behind the project - yet its clear the calibre of the producer involved is very high indeed! based on the concept of a two track partnership, a solid state jacking groove is introduced, building up a musical statement with a combination of rich analogue equipment to create the vibe. the partner track then, removes all the previously explored musical elements, keeping the beats intact, and builds a new track again from the foundations up. room 101 is a tooly, playful house jam, whose strong opening beats provide the basis for a stylish array of synth themes, classic house organs and tweaked out acidic stabs to unfold. keeping the beats then, of course, room 102 takes things down a darker route, with a more reduced family of elements describing a heady, even more acidic late night moment. each track complements its brother remarkably well, and becomes engaging to hear how the emotions, flow and vibe are changed, while maintaining the same functional percussive elements in both tracks. watch out for this new series of releases, that explores the endless possibilities of hidden grooves locked inside the mind of their producer... ready to be expressed on vinyl! welcome to loop hotel.

some notorious electronic music talents have started their careers as percussionists. and so did yaya, but his tale is different to all the rest. his new release for desolat takes a unique, upbeat approach to 4/4 beats: combining heartfelt benin influences - samples from dialogue and traditional ballads - with the stretched-out tension and release of balearic and the bubbling pops and stutters of tech house, plus the occasional kickback to a commodore64 high score melody. raised in turin, italy, rhythm was his lifeblood for yassin legali, also known as yaya, from an early age. his father was the lead vocalist and percussionist for mbamina, a band consisting of musicians from benin, zaire, italy and cameroon. mbamina released eight albums, collaborated with artists like manu dibango and salif keita, were sponsored by paco rabanne and played all over africa, including a show for the presidents of senegal and france. their final show was with james brown in paris in 1985 - the year yaya was born. well-versed in his fathers legacy, yaya grew up playing drums and djembe, and at the age of 15, began performing as a percussionist in turin clubs. just one year later, he was already djing, playing funk, soul, afrobeat, house and garage. manu dibango and fela kuti found a spot in his crate next to records by masters at work and dimitri from paris: contrasts of rhythm and structure that pervade his music to this very day.
