the italian giussepe tuccillo who now lives in ibiza still remembers when as a child he heard patty pravo singing at the san remo festival. the impression made on him by the italian diva was so great that he decided to dedicate a tribute to her most important song, la bambola, by making a remix using the original parts of the original recording.

pumpin like reeboks: an adrenaline soaked dose of pure nosebleed speed garage rave crossbred with dubsteps bassonics and 90s b-boy swagger. raffertie hits his stride with his most accessible & anthemic work to date. pounding 4x4 kicks bounce off cylon bass cannon blasts and crashing 808 claps battle rave sirens for dominance of the air space. clipped vocal edits and pinpricks of distorted noise are littered though out this blood pressure raising carnival ride as a constant reminder that this is party music with intellect.

nice price deal !!! idiot is already something of a hit with those whove heard it being played out, combining hard soca drums with lush ecstatic melodic synth harmonies and a driving bass with a strange 8-bit melody that stumbles and trips around the rhythm. its completely alien at first, but potent enough to stick in your ears until you might catch yourself humming the refrain when you least expect it. a unique and fantastic combination of compelling contemporary sounds! altered natives, aka north london producer danny native, whose track >rass out< was one of 2009s best, takes over the b-side with a remix that seems to reflect 20 years of british house music back on itself. just using the bleeps from the original tune, he echoes and morphs his own melody over stepping dubby kicks and snares and a dark, driving bassline

ross alexander payne has always been interested in the earth and its relationship to all in its vicinity, this includes earths place within the universe, and the presence upon earth of both natural and manmade systems and processes. drift and expansion are tracks designed to represent a view of earth from space. it was previously believed that the earth was expanding and thus the continental land masses were moving as a result of this process. modern scientific evidence does not support this idea, and the theory of plate tectonics is now almost universally accepted. this ep represents a view of the idea of these two disparate theories as if taken from the direct space around earth. ross explains in his words >everything i do, be it music related or otherwise, is driven by this fascination with the universe around me, the quest to discover this universe and the desire to expand my knowledge of all within it<

meet desto. we found him wandering the streets of helsinki, eating canned tuna and drinking the water from a tin of hot dogs, desperately clutching armfuls of sticky future garage. starting off in spacey 2step rhythms, falling over bassline, and breaking down into an euphoric 8 bit cascade, the epic >disappearing reappearing ink< finally reaches wax after being in the boxes of pretty much everybody all year. on the flip, >broken memory< was given its first exclusive airing by oneman on radio 1 to much acclaim, and takes more of a straight up approach, and retains all of the fluid c64 chiptune beauty.
dj support from rob da bank, oneman, brackles, sinden, floating points, clouds, mary anne hobbs.

the vinyl package includes an essay, which was part of the original cd package and now arrives on one side of the inner 12inch sleeve. the essay, album and track titles take direct inspiration from slavoj zizek, whose analysis of cinema was a strong beginning point for the project.

with a well-earned remix refill, cocoon recordings is taking a bow before the belfast-born dj and producer phil kieran, whose >shh< album from last year, like rarely another album release, was able to proof how fresh, futuristic and complex modern techno can sound.

many people know antoine garcin for the two very successful labels he runs, time has changed and time is now, but you would be wrong in thinking these was the only arrows to his bow. in fact he has many and being a talented producer is one of them, as richie hawtin recognised when he praised him as the best breakthrough producer of 2009!

here comes the second release on the pattern repeat label. pattern repeat is a new music-project and label by kenneth christiansen, echocord & echocord colour label boss, and his partner dennis bøg aka resoe, running the baum label.the pattern repeat label will only contains productions from kenneth & dennis, and the music is focused on the modern berlin techno sound today, dubstep and dub-techno. pattern repeat will also release records on other labels, so far the first one is out on echocord colour. kenneth and dennis met eachother 8 years ago when they worked together in at that time famous copenhagen-record-shop >loud<, which closed 5 years ago. at that time dennis was more into broken beat, hip-hop and deep house. kenneth was already running the label echocord, and soon dennis started his label baum. the label baum is also like echocord, releasing dub-techno, and dennis started to release his own material as resoe, and builded up his studio the years after. 1 year ago we decided to try to do a new project together, working together in the studio, and now pattern repeat is born.

following the huge rüfdug release was never going to be easy, an all ears bestseller last year and heard just about everywhere over summer and beyond, but the ppf crew have lined up a heavyweight release schedule for this burgeoning offshoot label, and we’re very excited to present the second release over the last few years ooft!’s ali alongside graeme ‘revenge’ clark have taken the underground music scene by storm crafting their own unique, trademark sound in the often overpopulated ‘edits’ market, pretty much single-handedly instigating the pitched down house sound resurgence & running a superb blog, digital promotions company and forging ahead with their own productions as well as being consumate dj’s and party throwers .

the needle-drop fuzz that cues sam amidons fourth solo album of songs, i see the sign, raises the curtain on a world of little theatres, foretelling of an aural gut-grip that is fully human and wholly natural. amidons intuitive and often radical reworkings of age-old secular ballads, gospel, folk songs, and hymns render familiar characters new through his direction, vision, vocals, banjo, guitar, and stellar contributions from fellow musicians. stylus magazine raved that amidons sophomore solo album, but this chicken proved falsehearted, was >the most interesting folk album of 2007<. in 2008, bedroom community debuted his third album, all is well, which garnered mediaenthusiasm as a >a goose-bump-manufacturing sonic piece de resistance< (cmj new music monthly).

vassilis pallas aka v.sexion was born in the late 80s, in a decade when techno and house put its little stone to the music world. in early childhood he found himself shakin in disco tunes moving it up to punk and rock. but it was jazz, afro beats, garage house and urban music that finally deeply influenced him in developing a particular music style...

here is the 2nd smasher release from the 18 years young talent daniel sender on his homeship label ftw. we still remember his rocket start last year with the >eraser e.p.< this was his debut on vinyl. and like himselft his sound goes thru a great development. you hear two powerful techno tracks with a amazing remix from zdenko grbavac.

well ok, no rule without exception... this beautiful joint from johannes albert is a little web 2.0 fairy-tail: the white rookie & cratedigga no. 1 moomin found a youtube clip of a dj hammering a super-deep, rough piano track in a club in the german city of paderborn. he didnt know the track, so he sent the dj a mail asking and a few mails later, the tracks from johannes were blowing away mr. offermanns ears. so the labelhead decided to make this the next white. of course first of all johannes & oskar had to meet a few times to make sure they understand each others vision well and after a few meetings they eventually became friends. so the labels movement towards the direction of house is continued by this release. wooden pearls is pure housemusic to the core. very wooden & grounded in the lower spectrum and crystal clear up in the sky. these very honest and timeless tracks tell us a story. the story of johannes alberts passion for house. since he was 15 years old, he is a fan. from the german franconia he follows house throu his local recordstore >swing king<

limited edition reissue of the special disco version of bill withers 1979 classic you got the stuff, a magnificent funky disco cut with a super cool five minute groovin cosmic section that was made famous again in the 90s after being chopped up by dj harvey for his black cock free range ep. still sounding stunning today, this track will rock any discerning floor and remains a huge favourite with disco djs. the original changes hands for top dollar so grab a copy of this stone cold classic while theyre around. dont sleep!

after the brilliant debut album of kza >force of nature< which was released in october of 2009, kza came back with two strong remixed tracks! hottest uk producer in the nu disco&house scene the revenge remix on a-side, the original was italo electro style house track, then the revenge upgraded to deeper and playful atmospheric deep house sound. kzas favorite producer fernando who release on uk disco label redux is a member of 2020 soundsystem and silver city. fernandos dirty disco house remix is for fans of prins thomas or rub n tug.

bon & rau are rainy citys newcomer jacques bon and christopher rau. jacques is originally from paris and takes care of the smallville recordstore in la cité d amour. he fell in love with hamburg though when he first came there and calls st. pauli a home since a little while now. while hanging at smallville record store in hamburg, he met christopher rau, who blew away the whole smallville crew with his > ne travaillez jamais< on dérive records in 2008 and had his smallville debut with >childhood< on smallville 16. the youngsters teamed up as bon & rau and we are proud to present the 12inch debut of another smallville dreamteam. cloverleaf days was already presented on the smallvilles label compilation cd -and suddenly its morning-, that gained huge reputation last year- but it more than deserved an appearance on 12inch now. a reduced groove that takes you to somewhere unsearchable. the b-side presents two versions of brothers & sisters- a modern house-anthem that twists into your ears with a subtle melody. the poodle dub on b2 rounds up a perfect 12inch with a tribute to hamburgs finest golden pudel club. three tracks that can definitely make the moment on the dancefloor.

yes, its them: federleicht. no better way to start a label: the newcomers of the year have created here a playful and danceable track at the same piece: >rosa lee<. florian schirmacher and marc bammann made an apt remark in naming the ep >modern dada< to point out their ability to make a tribute to the free form. music with german lyrics for the dance floor, combining fragments, while this masterly sense of easiness, for which even the >supergooses< ep was rewarded as a masterpiece in the de:bug. formresonance devides their releases in solid, fluid and aeroform to restrain the musical spectrum which is indeed to be at the ready. solid in any case with both feet down-to-club. how nice … there should be the klub edit of rosa lee as well. in >lilly & douai (fluid)<, the duo spans such an emotional tension by overlaying approximately 80 radio tracks on which federleicht travels the two french industrial cities lille and douai, with the idea that these cities are nature reserves. such sensitive places they are…

blind minded lives in london and is famous for his live appearances and has his third release with trapez ltd with >mr propre<. his first two release on trapez ltd was supported heavily and where charted by the italoboyz so weare looking forward to his follow up. >mr. propre< is the return of what used to be of the detroit sound blended with modern spontaneous changes in mood and crossovers which will put a smile on your face. >mr. propre< is the most technoid of all three tracks, whereas >jazz 2 me< is a bassline monster, with vocalquotes about jazz music stating it as >a state of life<, >something that you live!<. altogether a sexy cool groover! >the melting freak< is the most deep of all three tracks. here you can hear blind minded playing his analogue instruments (also a real 808 drum machine) being funky and cool rather than going for cheap thrills.

major mainstyle alert! the beat controller is a young, but already well- experienced dutch dj and party organizer (confusion events). besides his dj skills, he already made himself a name with the track >handz on my ballz< in cooperation with angerfist. the track was released on the last angerfist album >mutilate<.
now its time for his first solo ep. both original tracks are rather hard & kickin, but yet still melodic and absolutely dancefloor-orientated. distorted revelation, known for their successful releases on knor, deliver a stunning remix in their unique own style which will also do well on the floor. all in all, a very strong (maybe the strongest) release on important hardcore yet.

following up the dancefloor smasher that was i thought inside out, deadmau5 and chris lake join forces once again to bring you i said. the original mix is all about the killer, heads down groove, dirty tom led drums provide a perfect base for the jittery percussion, deep bass and bleeping synths, which all push into breakdown of epic proportions

prepare to enter the sombrero galaxy. journey to the centre of the sun, the debut release from lovefingers highly anticipated imprint esp institute, is a collaborative effort from londoner jonny nash (discosession) and dutchman tako reyenga. the two met years ago whilst jonny was working and living in tokyo and tako made his way over to dj. around the same time, lovefingers linked up with these two and a musical family had formed. that being told, its only natural for sombrero galaxy to find its home and represent the face of the esp insitute. journey to the centre of the sun is a dive into a moody, visceral and ethereal headspace brought to life through shimmering synthesizers, swirling guitars and a chugging bassline coupled with live percussion, clearly setting the bar higher than the bulk of contemporary electronic music. on the b side, the stallions (lovefingers and lee douglas) reinterpret the track with optimism, nicely complimenting the original with a light and cloudy yet driving house version. this is the music of dreams, keep an eye on esp institute in this new decade.

after being leaked a few months back at ndatls release party demf weekend in detroit this low down funky little piece of genius by andrés finally sees its commercial release. the original first was released on ndatls first release >the floating e.p.<. after catchin a hefty ransom online this remix resurfaces in its original form with a previously unreleased instrumental, on one clean little colored vinyl 45.

first gimme! gimme! release featuring can t live without your love by tamiko jones and the super rare cosmic classic this man by phill & friends band. “can’t live without your love” was popularised by david mancuso s loft cd/lp. originally released in 1979, it’s considered a huge influence as an electronic-disco record and is a massive chicago favourite. this record has been heavily sought after for some time and played by larry levan, ron hardy, gene hunt, frankie knuckles, …… „this man“ was a huge track with dj baldelli at cosmic when it was released in 1980 and it has been top of many collectors wants lists for a long time. very rare and very expensive, this sleazy downtempo rock/dub disco cut really is one of those extraordinary once heard never forgotten tracks.

back in 1998 this was probably just about the wrongest record you had ever heard … and it has to be said that not much has changed. forshaw has a knack of turning out ridiculously hard and mangled electro and techno tracks – but still managing to make them sound >poppy<. sometimes, as in the case of rockford for example, it is because he uses well recognisable (but unexpected) samples. but more often it is just because he manages to make tunes (no matter how hard) that make you stop gurning and start smiling.

this was originally released in 2002 looking glass onthe a side is a dark atmospheric progger afterthought on the flip is an atmospheric tribalistic trip with a massive breakdown

we are happy to present our first japanese artist on quintessentials, ryo murakami. ryo is no stranger to the scene, as he already released a bunch of records on respected labels like dessous, pokerflat or soon on mule musique. the main track >lunch of god< is a deep, raw and reduced house track with a strong us flavour and was already featured in jus eds underground quality radio show. ryo takes it even further with reducing - the result is >depths, a basic kickin techno track. the flipside offers the more than 11 minutes long >lunch of god< remix by house master scott ferguson. the ferris park maestro keeps things close to the original but adds more club feel plus a superb lil bonus track of his own. check it out!

re-release of this legowelt classic. more of that unique disco/electro hybrid wich was the trademark of the hague at the time.

circus company is proud to celebrate its first collaboration with one of the most emblematic and talented actors of the jena scene. for sure you know robag wruhme for is past work on his own imprint musik krause and on freude-am-tanzen alongside monkey mafia as the wighnomy brothers dj duet. this artist always stand out musically. from his past releases till today and across his remixes you cant miss his unique personality in music. this four tracker provides a colorful musical palette of mr wruhme. from the dark and minimal side of blech beulé to the «herbertish» robadella and the magnificent melodical slow mood of 48° 52&#8242,,,,,,,,,,,, n, 2° 21&#8242,,,,,,,,,,,, (in between, thats the location for paris on the map in case you loose yourself…) while he was delivering the tracks robag also requested a remix from ark, another strong character of the paris. ark did a a brilliant work on this blech beulé remix which gives a nice „avant goût“ of his upcoming album on perlon which will be out in april.

four years in the making, analog africa finally presents the second volume of africas funkiest band, the mythical orchestre poly rythmo de cotonou. volume one (the vodoun effect - funk & sato from benins obscure labels, 1973 - 1975), released by analog africa at the end of 2008, was a collection of amazing lo fi recordings produced for various labels around benin. volume two showcases superbly recorded tracks, courtesy of the emi studios in lagos, nigeria, one of the best studios in the region. all tracks here were recorded for the mighty albarika store label and its enigmatic producer, adissa seidou.

bristol-based kss black records are proud to present their second vinyl release:
a: holdtight ? blackstone ? holdtight make a welcome return with a rollicking slab of lo-fidelity sci-fi drum & bass. a steely backbone of percussion provides the skeleton to which a gut wrenching sub line and precision cyber-bleeps are built. full of atmospherics and stabs blackstone offers up a master class in layering grooves to capture the crowd. this one wont stop until it gets you!
aa: mute ? suspense ? the flip for this fine 12inch features the brothers mute, with a massive debut vinyl release! >suspense< has got skanker written all over it, reminiscent of the days grooverider was dropping adam fs seminal track >metropolis< on dub. modern production values are infused with the sweaty funk of 90?s dancefloor tech. heavily influenced by the sounds of photek and, more recently, break with technical drum programming and a bassline to trouble any bass bin as they looking backwards to move forward. you wont miss it when this tune drops.. bassface time! featuring on baileys 1xtra show several times last year this is not a tune to miss out on. both tracks have been receiving heavy support from bailey, lomax, survival & break.

this man cant currently be stopped. following his releases through the 2nd season 2009 (>marvin” on compost, >smaul 06< & >smaul 07<) in january 2010 acid paulis >riverboat tour< came out. now, it seems he opens this years summer season with these two psychedelic thrilling tracks. even though he had been touring a lot with the notwist last year, acid pauli was pretty often an invited, musically refreshing guest in berlins minimal techno (what ever) scene. den mahlstrom rauf leaves no doubts about. great build up he does by keeping tension over five minutes to unlash finally the madness charge with a levitating reverse-ducking-compressed melody. den mahlstrom runter (a play on words of travelling on a boat and getting milled…) seems to be the return from the trip he gives on side a. it is the same track reworked. his musical drama goes faster but deeper under the cortex – but >how lucky a fate< deliverance comes at right time taking the track over to a known housy and deep realm.

club music for us was never limited to way of entertainment and leisure. to create something new and to be part of the modern world is our true purpose. in the initial stages of nervmusic formation, we were great admirers of a catenaccio record label especially for these qualities. now we present our third release by benjamin fehr the head creator of catenaccio. if you hungry for new sound and thinking outside of common grids then this music is for you. imagination is more important than knowledge. knowledge is limited ...

the third release in the tribute series is an absolutely massive dj weapon, which has been blowing away dance floors all around the world since it was first leaked to a small band of dj friends by its top secret editors. cheekily and seamlessly blending the iconic vocal talents of blondies >heart of glass< with la rouxs >bulletproof< the result, >we love debbie<, is an awesome soundclash of irresistible discoid pop music. cut loud on single-sided heavy weight 180g vinyl, the tribute series is set to inflict some serious dancefloor damage
