der dritte raum is a super project at constant altitude flight. releasing music on labels such as harthouse and cocoon since the early ninetees der dritte raum has established a name for high quality electronic music and a live show you will never forget. with their Überhit >swing bop< 3 years ago der dritte raum has kicked off a still going roaring-20s-hype in the electronic music scene in berlin and anywhere else. now here we go with the remixes of this epic piece. the question was: who could remix this unique track withut making it just a worse copy of the original? the answer: t.raumschmiere might turn this track into a dirty wrecking rave monster and as a complementary addition, acid pauli might be a good choice to take the track in a totally different direction. well, t.raumschmiere did what we expected, just in an even better way than we hoped, and acid pauli did as well. he gave swing bop an outfit that makes it sound even more dreamy and out of time and space. enjoy!

the mojuba sublabel a.r.t.less is very proud to present the debut album by detroit techno veteran martin bonds aka reel by real. after 2010s retrospective of his most seminal work including some collaborations with juan atkins and anthony shake shakir, these are the first new tracks under his reel by real moniker since almost two decades and it seems like it could have never been a better timing for it than now! these nine new pieces of music are showing their unique fresh colours of detroit techno in a way they could have been only created by someone like marty bonds who is always striving to find his very own way in musical creativity. this album takes you on a great multifaceted journey through one of americas definitive music capitals and the birthplace of techno narrated by one of its very own musicians and a true ambassador of its soundtrack! to support the scene of authentic detroit artists the cover illustration for this album was created by abdul haqq from third earth visual arts who is still (after more than 20 years) giving detroit techno a visual face with his artworks for the likes of underground resistance, transmat, red planet just to name a few! enjoy the resurrection of reel by real with this very special debut album

with the upcoming release of her debut ep warn-u, tri angle is extremely excited to introduce ayshay. born in senegal, raised in kuwait and now living in new york city, fatima al qadiri is the producer and vocalist behind ayshay. fuelled by her fascination with the sacred songs of islam warn-u is a homage and reinterpretation of the sounds that have haunted al qadiri since she was a child. constructed entirely out of her own vocals, which she filtered and layered upon one another warn-u is al qadiris attempt to reconfigure the concept of sacred music as inspiring divine love and divine fear. even in her adoption of the name ayshay, a flippant term which means whatever in arabic, fatima al qadiri seeks to distance the austere values inherent in worship music from her own interpretation of the latter.

here comes strike number 3!!the new ep will be made by andrea di rocco, who is known for more massive beats, but now, as mr. smiley guy produces a more housy sound. but still the a-side tracks ohne mayo and ohne senf, which are full of drums, deep vocals and a significant baseline, have a driving feel to it.on the b- side left hand has continuing, harmonizing and warm synthie-sounds which gives it a deep-house feeling. on top of that there is a smooth dubnitzky remix, which is for more relaxed moments. all in all a perfect package to start the autumn. massive feedback by dubfire, maceo plex, maya jane coles,david squillace, shlomi aber, pig&dan and many more

killekills next release comes from snuff crew, a crew you might and should have heard about. snuff crews mission is to bring back the fun on the dancefloors worldwide. the masked duo is known for their jacking live shows that combine the raw energy of early chicago and acid house with a fresh and modern sound. rumour has it that they come from >somewhere in germany<, but their sounds draw a very heavy influence from the original acid house city of chicago alongside italo-disco and old school techno flavours. the use of old school roland boxes as sound sources and almost non existent use of even basic effects means their sound is rough, raw and aimed squarely at the dancefloor. their records have been released on labels like skylax, gigolo records, rush hour, playhouse and many more, but the two guys also run their own imprint called snuff trax where they release music of jackmates like kink and neville watson as well as their own tracks and collaborations with artists such as legendary robert owens. thats enough for now with the name dropping. killekill has got a lot of great exclusive material from the guys but decided to release only two very strong and distinctive tracks for now: domo on the one side is a proper acid monster that will go down on dancefloors worldwide like a hurricane and leave the dancers breathless. eat this on the other side is a rudimentary chicago jack track that might well have been taken off a dance mania record from 1992. this track is working its way with nothing but a few drum tracks and a vocal sample and is pure raw sexual energy.

this ep takes 3 of fergie s finest musical works and hands over the remix responsibilities to more heavyweight names including: nicole moudaber, sian and the mighty sasha carassi!

modernista make a very welcome return after dropping their now classic debut 12 on us last year the architect of that raw late 80s machine music homage, paul bennett is back in charge here one of pauls formative influences during his youth was the music made by the first wave of techno producers from detroit. this release attempts to bring back some of the drama and pure funk of that sound. electronic music for the head, heart and feet. immaculately programmed maydayesque drum machines, emotive & expansive pitch bent synths, thundering low frequencies and clanks galore. this is a supercharged rewiring of the detroit blueprint in three startlingly well executed flavours.

dj nature aka milo steps up again to deliver another exceptional 12 inch. >celebrate life< has his by now trademark sound, off kilter samples weave around a solid low end and lo-slung groove. >let it ring< loops up a familiar disco favourite to devastating effect

jazzanova lands on wurst! early dj support comes from soul clap, radio slave, dimitri from paris, ewan pearson, sebo k, rob mello and slow hands. weve done the unthinkable, scored the unimaginable, and wrangled none other than jazzanova (!) for an über-limited one-sided vinyl-only release. while >i can see< feat ben westbeech came out a few years back, filippo moscatellos most excellent disco version never saw the light of day - until now, of course. doesnt much more sunshine-filled and soul-drenched than this stellar take on the esteemed berlin collectives original, and we are both honored and humbled to get to work with both jazzanova and their label sonar kollektiv, and of course filippo himself, on this very special release. filippo moscatello started to produce music in 1994 under the dj naughty moniker, and has since gone on to work with labels like gigolo, eskimo, and moodmusic to name but a few, releasing the artist albums disco volante (gigolo) and pagliaccio (moodmusic), as well as the acclaimed compilation, one naughty night in berlin (eskimo). in addition to his production work, filippo maintains a club residency at cookies in berlin called luv dancin where hes played along special guests like moodymann, jerome sydenham, ata, bottin and loud e.

the big idea! ahoy sarp yilmaz and sinan kaya. after several eps on various labels now release their debut on simple as that records. the two guys from the big metropolis of istanbul bring us here, two beads which make the sun rise. the two men schaeufler & zovsky (acker records, 3000°) and andre kronert (ostwind, night drive music) each control still in a wonderful remix. even more diversity on this record is thus ensured.

barcelona-born rainer grew up in california, but it was his move to london in 2007 which led him to start collaborating with cesare vs disorder, playing out around town and beginning his production career with the popular >neuralgia< under his belt. the obvious next step for him was to hitch his wagon onto the well-traveled route onto berlin where he now presents his second release on cesares serialism records. >x-berg to san diego<, a production in conjunction with the labels head honcho, a paean to his newly adopted stomping ground and the town of his youth. a tough house beat leads with a funky guitar picking out groove along the way, an oscillating vocal hovering into earshot as old-school snares jack it up.

what do you call musicians like com truise? he seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like nostalgia, synth-wave, eighties, and electro-funk and you will scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. how do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern? awesome is an option. especially when it sounds like you are driving the knight rider car through thick clouds of nitrous oxide, like >fairlight<, the title track from truises new single, which previously appeared on an iso50 comp called dry waves and also has this jarring, falling-all-over-itself middle section that prevents you from trancing out too hard. >beta eyes<, the track that follows, is even more restless, with a drum pattern that is fidgety and clustered, kicks and snares fighting each other like two drum and bass heads arguing over an atari remote. >polyhurt<, a narcotic, almost ballad-like closer that inevitably leaves you thinking, >now, how the hell am i going to describe that to someone?< the vinyl exclusive cut >colorvision< could be truises most dancefloor friendly track yet.

one of the founding members of the ostgut ton family, marcel dettmann recorded his debut 12inch for the label alongside ben klock with >dawning< some five years ago. now after a string of highly praised releases, his debut album >dettmann<, and a handful of uncompromising records on his own mdr label, we arrive at this new ep for his home label. launching us into the space-race, >barrier< documents those tense moments of discovery as we reach into new territories. dettmanns unique textured sound design sets the scene before diving into >translation one< - a frantic, quivering and snaking snapshot into the kind of techno the producer stands for these days. metallic bass spins sideways, while ever-modulating percussion drives forward. the sinister sci-fi tones of >translation two< warble and jive in glorious syncopation as a systematic heavy kick and hat program works the bass frequencies and rhythmic zones. open and spacious, its meandering theme hangs deliciously between paranoia and positivity. in >planning< dettmann further explores his inclination for intricate, tripping synth patterns. a staggered, wonderfully immersive theme builds from delayed staccato notes in a classic analog sequence, underpinned by rumbling dub bass pressure

tripmastaz is a name that has been steadily pushing forward his career in the past year, with his latest works on be as one, moon harbour, cecille, and magnetic recordings (complete with a loco dice remix) been heavily supported by the djs gang out there now, andrew is debuting with a full ep on be as one, after his appearance on the latest tools for school vol.3 compilation. house syndrome opens the ep with a bang - truly an infectious tech house stormer for the big stages, which is already championed by the a-list djs constant learning is a proper tribal techno affair that combines a rolling groove with a catchy melody, an uplifting summery mood. on the b side tripmastaz takes things into deeper territories with quiet hit men, an acidic bassline worked around a machine groove as andrew knows to deliver. pende (dub) closes this ep with an underground attitude, a tune that will be noticed by those looking for a special moment on the floor

deep space orchestra having been forging a nice niche in a modern take on house music, blending, disco, detroit and chicago influences , and here at tracky bottoms, we cottoned on to one of there deepest tracks to date mass illusion about a year ago now ! its taken a while to come to fruition , but the stolen future ep is here . mass illusion it self is probably the track gaining most interest , probably because it has achieved the difficult task of being very deep but also quite anthemic , also featuring on the ep - stolen future harks back to early carl craig vibes , with a ruff ass beat driving the synthy techno , theres a remix of this from label boss toby tobias who takes it in a more loopy chicago vibe and last track witch doctor has ethnic hypnotic quality about it , but with some added dynamics by toby who edits it for maximum dancefloor reaction

presenting the >cant buy love ep<, wolf + lamb records invite you to enter the visceral world of aquarius heaven. a rhapsody of sonic flow both rough and smooth with heavy doses of sleaze and deviant, lust-filled rap, the aquarius heaven experience is nothing short of electrifying. when brian brewster met dop in paris, 2005, the former reggae, dancehall and hip- hop singer was to undergo an electronic rebirth. during the hours of studio lock-up that followed, tapping into a wealth of musical influences, the arresting sound of aquarius heaven was born. after the outstanding debut >7 days ep< on circus company caught the attention of gadi mizrahi of wolf + lamb whilst in berlin (where brewster is now based), it wasnt long before the label made aquarius part of the crew and the >cant buy love ep< was brought to light. a heady mix of sexually charged house funk, a-side >cant buy love< bumps and grinds down a bassline made of rubber with the heavy depth of brewsters vocals in the driving seat. playful and bold with singer dani sicilianos yearning interruptions, the mood is a twisted fusion of love and filth. already a staple in the sets of soul clap and wolf + lamb, >cant buy love< has all the markings of a cult record in the sex music hall of fame

clement meyer now joins correspondant, and with a nod to his parisian roots he enters our label with techno to be reckoned with. just listen to the first half of >sweet insanity<, and you will begin to appreciate his dark style as much as we do. abe duque, who we have invited to remix >sweet insanity< has been at the head of the acid-house and underground-techno table since his earliest releases way back in 1993. from muscular and melodic techno to cocktail jazz and ambient interludes, his early tracks on his own labels tension and hollis haus included releases under pseudonyms like kirilan and super secret symphony, plus his releases on others labels like disko b, rapture!, morbid, and tresor captured a particular period of clubbing history. the second part of duque s career was a run of increasingly massive 12 inch hits like champagne days, cocaine nights, acid, disco nights, and in 2004 his monster smash with blake baxter >what happened?<. his signature is now stamped across productions from top acts like chemical brothers, pet shop boys, and miss kitten, and has become a regular on dj hells gigolo label. the highlight of this period, though, was his first album >so underground it hurts<. it was undeniably a techno event, and that is exactly what he comes with today, a mind bending techno remix of >sweet insanity<. we hope you like it!

container is a recent moniker of nashville, tennessee resident ren schofield who has been actively shifting about the u.s. playing shows and releasing cassettes on his mysterious i just live here imprint for a long while now. known primarily for his god willing project, a disjointed, confusing, maze of crude oscillator, tape, and guitar, ren has established himself as a staple in the east coast underground.
here we have a new experiment in electronic beat oriented music. this is no standard fare, however. it glows with a vision all its own, completely isolated and separate making it difficult to place in the awkward world of the genre. the sounds are a thick stew congealing new ideas and naive experiments into something in the ballpark of the new super weird wolfgang voigt 12 inches, abstract and minimal in nature with time stopping tendencies. take those 12 inches and send them thru the garbage can, tape loop, reel to reel experiments of ake hodells >220 volt buddha< or that weird track with lawnmower by charles amirkhanian on the first slowscan volume and we might be getting closer.

its fitting that this summer season sees months of culprit planning and scheming come to fruition. a relationship that began almost four years ago, between culprits la crew and parisian native shonky, has finally been realized, with the mercurial frenchman stepping up for his first full culprit release, >oasis<. shonky first ventured to la when droog hosted him on the now defunct terrace space at avalon in late 2007. since then he and culprit founders droog have become close cohorts, sharing the same musical wavelength, having playied together half-a-dozen times at locations ranging from miami, barcelona and los angeles. shonky was finally introduced on the label earlier this year, when he and dyed soundorom collaborated on a remix of lee foss >your turn girl<

somewhere up in the sky… thats the spirit, good and bad, for legends and other space-cowboys. the space for original characters like elbee bad, who did his thing back in new york in the 80ties with his early house ep on nu groove- with just a big bang and elbee was there, from the very beginning to now. by now he lives and works in berlin and yet remained a true school house pioneer that even dj hell couldnt resist to capture his talent for a retro-perspective release of his on >international deejay gigolo< & peepz like matias aguayo and his cómeme-posse recall on him.
