the man from louisiana, water jones, with a blend of raw disco beats and catchy old-school electro licks. the first track >deuteronomy brown< is an italo style dancefloor bomb, bound to drag people off their seats. >the odyssey sound< has entirely been built by using just one synthesizer, the legendary arp odyssey !! the tracks version featured on this release has been cut-up, dubbed and streamlined for optimum performance by paul mogg and supersouls xaver naudascher

played by: ricardo villalobos, luciano, magda, dan curtin, zip,.. its been a great year soo far for the talented mr. haze, as he continues to push the boundries of electronic dance music. this record is a clear cut example of why things started to get real, real hot all of a sudden. with this special release, jay s first release on the label he started 7 years ago - jay translates what it is like to be >big pimping< in berlin, germany. jay moved to the electronic music mecca just 3 years ago and has steadily advanced through one of the most competitive market places with lightining speed. so in some sense this record >berlin pimping part2< is another fond dedication record to the city which provides soo much for jay. (the first was jay s record on german label musik krause >berlin pimpin/love affair<)

although he keeps his head just under the radar, jon cutler is not exactly against producing really big club tracks when he puts his mind to it. south slope sees him channel his energies into the kind of show stopping tracks that the likes of kerri chandler, dennis ferrer and quentin harris are famed for, but with a deft jazzy touch which they often ignore. the ibadan style groove is bedded in with a wonderful organ solo that serves to take the tune to the next level, while the dub mix drops the organ for a more shelter friendly tool

the hype for mike monday is really hitting home. just this issue theres two pics in dj mag and three mentions plus hes in two separate charts –his new track on simple, bhalobashi, #10 in the hype chart and the album top 10 in the downloads chart. a >producer to watch< in mixmag – and were promised a rave review for the album in a fortnight as well. and thats not to mention the 5/5 review in idj with a raving three page feature, the continued presence of smorgasbord in dj mags >lps we cant put down<, its album of the week status in owtl and the profile out next week

behind the new release on haiti groove rec are the 2 well known german dj s / producer s toby montana and thomas gold. just to name a few highlights of the 29-years old toby montana, with releases on the label selected works, remix for steve angello and productions together with the german newcomer lützenkirchen. in addition to montana there is the second produce thomas gold, also well known under his pseudonym level k, releases on spain s number 1 house label >vendetta<, dj antoine s label >houseworks<, and remixes for international superstars like roger sanchez and ian carey made him to a big name in the music biz

no need to introduce mazi & david duriez one more time, even those new in the house music business should have heard of them, the real chicago – paris connection. they have developed their own labels at the same time, gourmet & brique rouge, they built their carreers at the same time but this is only the second time, and surely not the last, that they go together in the studio. first time they produced the seminal everything is allright, one of the highlights from the audio soul projects album community this time they produced one of their futur classic, while david duriez was in chicago on the way to his detroit electronic music festival gig. produced in just one afternoon, the track is already acclaimed and hammered by all the big onesjosh wink plays it everywhere. mr.c has also been reported jumping in the booth to ask david what this track was.

souvenir records!!! lets just start this introduction with a quote: >we like the idea of seeing music as a souvenir, an impression you take from somewhere. something intimate to remember<. this is how the brothers schwarz aka tiefschwarz set the agenda for souvenir music, which they created with their french companion arthur velasquez and thus finally set up their own imprint after an eventful decade in the musicbiz. even just a quick listing of mighty deeds in the underground dance community would fill up page after page. if the story of king midas wasn t already centuries old, someone would have made it up now to describe the phenomenon of recent tiefschwarz remixes. who would serioulsy doubt that their golden touch also will rub on their own label and turn this start-up into another stellar success? cooked up in their berlin the first course >hey< by the artist ichundu is set to become the flavour of the month, even more so with extra delicious ingredients tiefschwarz added to their remix. yummy !! played by sven väth, sasse, chloe, tobi neumann, karotte...

due to popular demand hot chip will re-release their seismic club anthem >over & over<, big remix package, includes maurice fulton dub, mock and toof dub, plus vocal and dubs from booka shade

after the first bars of freak everybody who has previously listened to electro,should have encountered that this piece of work is not made by amateurs in contrary! freak does not have to hide behind productions from famous producers like steve bug or steve angello: spinnin elements banned up-todate beats and basslines over a funky electro track,whose arrangement and sound fits just perfectly to a hot clubnight

on the back of massive summer anthems from dark mountain group and rodermaal, buzzing fly is back. ben watt’s a&r skills and ear for a tune brings us rocco – house music for the heads. originally handed to a few top tastemakers last christmas, the release of this undoubted deep and deadly floor-killer from lyon s rocco, was delayed six months after john digweed requested it as an exclusive for his recent best-selling >transitions< mix compilation. permission granted, its now back for its official full release on buzzin’ fly and, following his dastardly cut >blood< this summer, we ve added a brand new thrumming and funky tech-dub remix from francois dubois (a.k.a. lars sandberg a.k.a. funk d void) just for good measure

chicago pioneer tyrone latrelle comes back to house music after 15 years ! having establish himself as one of the most important originators in house music, producing such important acid records as acid my mind (together with bill mösley) or bang the 303 while we still havent managed to meet him despite a few trips to chicago, we get this dat tape in the post a few months ago. it seems tyrone is back on track or may be hes just sending his archives

really impressive, strong techno music! this ep is a split in between three rising stars on the swedish techno scene. prataps contribution starts of with a wicked groove that just goes on and on. and before you know it, you are totally lost in a melody that is slowly building up. the flip from nihad tule and lasseman is on the very same tip. nihad, know from his release on hz trax will not let any body down! a really strong and groovy sound is coming your way and just keeps on building. hypnotic and very funky!

frankie comes back with 4 minimal funky house tracks with this typical >dry< style using just a few sounds elements ( cuts of voices and short sounds) and a fxs…as well inpredictable and groovy. ep already played by dan bell, troy pierce, john tejada, jeff samuel, todd sines,…specially the dbx-influenced tweaky noise stomper titled hunt (a1)

for more then 10 years the french lady b. is known in the techno scene. he organiced the first acid-house and techno parties in south of france between 1989 and 93 and he also became a dj in several gay clubs in cannes. he had releases on f-com, gigolo rec., good life & many more. plus remixes for ascii disco or scratch massiv. now he is back with a powerful ep incl. 4 tracks. >stripper< is cut and go massiv banger which reminds me of sebastian(ed banger) productions. >the best will come pt.1 & 2< have a nice bassline + bleeping acid sounds and those tracks show you that the time for sampling in 2006 has just begun. >b-ware< is a pure peaktime track with a melodie that will stuck in everyones brain…

this anthem with a melancholic atmosphere we just known from guys like luciano and rebeccas words, telling some secret about post spices husband, fit perfectly into a miniaml grooving & mystic sound.. incl gui boratto rmx... already played by dj t, matthias schaffhäuser, jesse rose, laurent garnier, damian lazarus

henrik van sivers actually uses hand claps, synth power and drum rolls and the result is purest, stunning 4/4 swedish disco music. for everyone who prefers the more minimal and dry way, the >meaty minimal dub version< will be just perfect. misc adds the necessary aggressiveness for the large-scale rave party, but still with loads of charme and esprit !!!!

great house anthem featuring samples from well known 80s artists. just listen

mobilee is on >back to back< mission and presents the first release of a four-piece vinyl remix series including eight exclusive in-house remixes. a - sebo k reworks gummihz s >isolate<. he just took the essential >rave signal<, modified the groove and added some spezial effects. the most reduced sebo k production so far. aa - prosumer gets the upper hand on sebo k, recreating the latter s >moved (featuring prosumer)< in prosumer s own image. and you thought dude was just a singer - think again. >think again< might as well be mobilee s motto, for the way the label lays bare the skeleton of rave music—and the way it amplifies berlin minimal into something throbbing, overwhelming, all-consuming. watch your back: mobilee is coming up from behind, and back to back is the rearview image of the shape of rave to come

tombone 09 comes like a comeback of this great label. one of their best releases so far and with david k being just recognized by cocoon this cooperation is sure to get recognized. david k who is actually the engineer of various top parisian production camps, remixes dj did this time, new kid on the block but both surprise with three extremly fresh and delectable vibration electro house grooves, direct thick grooves total opposite to minimal boringness of some many platters these days. check out the excellent >electric wave< with its amazingly old school new skul vocoders. hit potential

this record is a crossover of different styles of house music there are some electro, progressive and mimimal influences i think you just have to call it house

new kanada follows up adam marshalls >black snow ep< (nk01) with a killer set of remixes from the hottest canadian talent this side of berlin. the a-side is a seriously advanced workout of minimal funk from cynosures mike shannon, who remixes >black snow< into a stripped-down house groove. on the b-side, we have jeremy p. caulfields treatment of >mission<, which continues into the dark and precise mood set up so well on his dumb-unit imprint. ending things on b2 is j. hunsbergers delicate and beautiful rework of >hot spring<. jay spices things up a little with vocal snippets and rocked-out drums, and hints at the sounds he just unleashed on steve bugs audiomatique label<

odds & ends music always come up with something slightly different to the rest and we mean that in a good way! this release by leon louder is just that, slick house music with funk and depth

heavily supported by m.an.d.y., dj t, david duriez, konrad black, tom clark, sasse!! update 2.0 of woodys already successfull >whatever< series. minimal not minimal is the name of the game here! open produced and very fresh and full sounding the two to long and intensely reduced tracks are immediately touching, thrilling and are much thicker cut than your ordinary berlin click track. you could almost call it >maximal< , hehe .again side a is a kicking stylish electronic build up theme – reduction with just the right punch(the one that is missing so often these days,hehe)and great compressed bliss that simply rocks unstoppable once you get hooked into this unique below the line killer groove. 8 minutes that just fly by like a >hot rod< and youre immediately tempted to stay >tuned< , hand the keys over to wood and let him do the driving for the next 10 hours or so! >dakini< is more dark and mystical in appeal with a sturdy bassline and wicked nervous infrastructure making the whole gem as another two double a side 12inch. next stop woody

a1 no sleep:an amazing 13-minute latin pop electronic house piece ,a journey that is already making a name for itself in the world bests dancefloors. percusions,baselines ,bleeps mental sounds blending together with a dirty groove that keeps on changing and developing ,to peak in soulful and painful vocals accompained with a lead melancholic guitar and jorge singing -is just like to be on drugs without the fun-.....sounds familiar?...the song ends in beautiful detroit styled chords , a good reason to play it until the end..b1 close that door: an acid house jam with extravagant and abstract lyrics showing gonzales dark humor and irony.close that door has a killer acid baseline and the usual quirky dinky touch ,lots of sex and groove on this track,a sure peak-timer.think dan bell meets prince.b2 no sleep (edit):a smart instrumental version of no sleep for those vocal snobsters.just the groove here, no vocals,no guitar or synth lines, and exelent tool

on the a side, >you know what to do< comes from a collaboration with partner mauro picotto and features a full energy, peak time track tested in top clubs around the world with crazy reaction from all types of crowds. on the b side, >smiley cocktail< pulls out the more minimal edge thanks to the collaboration between riccardo and fellow italian producer athos. and for those who like partying till the morning hours, after a long night of energetic beats, what better final than >morning light< with its dreamy atmosphere. with these tracks just out of the studio, it won t be long till top jocks will get their hands on them!

in the wake of raudive aka oliver ho (podium 1) comes amsterdam native shinedoe who with her 2004 debut >dilemma< (on 100% pure) instantly accomplished what others never achieve: respect and support by the likes of väth, hawtin and villalobos. her style: straightforward, strictly functional detroit techno - with an essential and effective touch of soul. as her debut album is expected for september 2006, we may catch a glimpse into the near future with her track >amsterdam meets berlin.< here, she does what she s best at. she uniquely creates atmosphere with just one chord, relying on the power of harmonies. but watch out. when the dreamlike vibe leads to a sudden change of keys, we re all puppets on her strings.

the track loud minority is dedicated to alex dallas loud minority residency in zurichs great club dachkantine, which closed down and was a home for great guests such as carl craig, pepe bradock, juan atkins, metro area, herbert and maurice fulton to name just a few. they all inspired us to create music which incorporates all our beloved music and combine different style elements to a fresh and maybe even a typical zurich sounding way. with dessert you can fade away and feel the ability of foster to take you into his simple but at the same time very sophisticated form of musical expression. kanona does what the title suggests. all tracks are flavoured with a great detroit feeling there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it.

new artist from safari electronique: ditch ( minibar, micorcosm / kalimari ). beautiful, sensual , killer for the dancefloor to open your mind toward new visions!!! and for you > la surprise du chef < a superbe remix from arnaud le texier, ready to shake your ass... just listen !

archipels brand new sublabel brings you its second weirded out slab of wax with uli kunkels singing with rod. uli kunkel,however,is not one single artist. it is comprised of lee curtiss, maayan nidam (miss fitz) and shaun reeves.the record starts off with leethophobia which is an hypnotic breaks like piece of dark insanity laced drughouse very much inspired by the perlonian sounds which have been coming from germany as of late.drugpigs is fat, wobbly, and just as hypnotising as leethophobia and commands that the freaks come out to dance from the shadows of strange early morning corridoors.the flip takes a more direct approach and is fiercely lead by arrival which is an hypnotic take on dancefloor drive influenced tracks and is laced with clever edits and lysergic percussion.sing like rod is a totally weirded out and just as lysergic early morning rhythmic smoothy. kalimari is set to release quality weirdness and here it stands tall from the rest.

wales, da wo es mehr pups als spielplaetze gibt, lernten sich tom ellis und dj leif kennen und wurden freunde. aus ihrem vorhaben eine rockband zu gruenden wurde leider nix, und das war auch gut so!! denn heute produzieren sie feinsten organischen minimal techno gespickt mit deepness und funkness.. schon auf morris audio zu besuch haben sie jetzt an den moon harbour docks anker gelegt !!!

bassiger und clashiger electro techno der hamburgerin ... played by oliver huntemann, the hacker, the advent, da fresh, christopher just, d-saw,stephan bodzin, misc, citizen kain, maxim terentjev

clara hill, bekannt für ihre gefühlvolle stimme, präsentiert nach ihrem debut „restless times“ ihr zweites album und schafft es mit leichtigkeit ihre stimme mit tiefgehenden texten – mal melancholisch, mal euphorisch – und raffinierten beats einer erlesenen auswahl an producern, zu soul geladenen deep house und nujazz tracks zu verknüpfen. größter gewinn ist dabei auf jeden fall die gekonnte auswahl der producer, wie slope, vikter duplaix, atjazz, charles webster, georg levin und king britt. ein komplexes und reifes album mit gehörigen portionen an emotionen.

paul macs debut on ltd records!! for this twenty release they have the honour of releasing two more huge tracks just coming out of his new studio.

berlin team of dave shokh and holgi star are back with a cool house long player for the masses. remix courtest of the ultra hot agaric (we are, aka patrik skoog) begin with gathered clicking percussion built with high pitched stabs and reversed flicks. lirum builds ontop of itself as the snare punctuates the groove as the bell rises. a galloping invasion of sounds going from your brain wide into your feet. you will dance and feel good. yes. agaric does not hold back. the funk is dripping. a rolling tight groove filled to the top with hits and drum flips. just wait as he teases before the bassline appears and off we go. madness for the dancefloor?!? for certain!

dj sneak feeds his sampler with his sampler some funk, rock and disco snippets, tweeks, roughes them up and laces them over some of his spanking chicago beats. hard kickin 2x12 from the original filter man

samuli kemppi is a well known dj and producer around the gloube, not just for his sam & gigi - house tam (ovum), but also from a.m specialist and so on.. with the second pakka-release, samuli brings us minimal, little bit daniel bell like techno with the finnish attitude..

another stunner from the mysterious re edit man. a super soulful re edit of love unlimiteds move me no mountain on one side and a 60s soul rework of angie stones i wish i didnt miss you anymore thats absolutely killer. the man just gets better and better. awesome.

rmxs by andre walter & the advent !! on the a side andré walter shows his beta impressions,using a completely other sound you d expect him to. very technoid and tight, this monster pushes just forward in the best enable recordings tradition if you don t know,just take a listen an you got it. no doubt – this was done by no one else but the advent! the typical advent style completes this enable produktion with a truely straight and massive remix..

for his second outing on wagon repair, hrdvsion (a.k.a. nathan jonson), yet again blesses us with a showcase of diverse style and emotion on this 5-track gem. dedicated to the memory of his best friend, gary white, this ep comes straight from the heart and proves to be special - not just for nathan, but also for those lucky enough to hear it. played by laurent garnier

a man that needs no real introduction gives us the first in a series of offerings. luke solomons newest production company bad brains and black flags brings us two new hot tracks. the title track phantoms with its bass driven punk edge and the b side end of days with its more tweaky white noise kinda feeling. another example of how punks and electronics can coincide harmoniously. whatever your pleasure we re sure you ll dig this one just as much as we do

summery house cut, with the groove deep and the beats just right for both dancing and lazing pick of the bunch here is gavin hawke hardkiss take

kraze aka. richard jean laurent began songwriting and performing in 1985. in 1988 he created >i say shut up< and >the party<, who became a house music classics even before that term existed! these songs catapulted kraze into one of house music s first bonafide stars, making him performing at venues ranging from the best clubs to wembley arena and the prince of tunesia s home. he reached top 10 all over the world, but especially >the party< is still used from george clinton to david bowie to political campaigns to radio themes to coney islands.

what s up? is the first release of southwest-german dj and club owner unique aka achim koch, presenting his definition of groovy tech-house. its superb funky bassline and well worked out stops, breaks and the acidic sequenzer topping right after the main break make this track outstanding and recognizable. it s not just a good tool – it s burning down dancefloors at any time! plays by dj monique, martin eyerer, dj raw, m.a.n.d.y., good groove…

andreas saag is a busy man. he just did some wonderfull remixes and he is now working on a special album for jimpsters freerange featuring collaborations with slum village, marc de clive-lowe, mr. scruff, domu, kyoto jazz massive and many more! in between he found the time to produce this fine broken anthem for 4lux. a heavily jamaican influenced party banger with funny lyrics. this rocks every crowd for sure! on the flip side there is a hot remix by the delgui crew that comes with a wicked broken-ska remix on the flip. another winner!

a new drift is emerging from america and she s in the middle of it: kate iwanowicz aka miskate is not only co-founder of the highly respected foundsound-label from philadelphia, but also a high-definition producer in its own right. after several ep s on her s and others labels like microcosm records she now pays a visit to karloff to expand her boundaries and fuelling the eclectic cut-up-funk she s already known for with solid, defined beats, boosting the focus on the dancefloor as another target to be aimed at. however the steady drive obtains the required substance through interspersed well-crafted distractions like filleted choirs and hymnal strings, constantly winding through the structure and blazing it up. brilliantly reflective and ecstatic at the same time this record gives you more than just a seasonal tempest in a teapot

side a drops for the more bass lovin punter, lets jump up and go crazy! classic bassline business just like the spanish like. no holes barred twisted heavy shiznit! side b gets the full on peter paul acid treatment! lookout here comes the techno. drivin bassline with this mad stab cum horn pullin you in the direction of the strobe light! this is dark! drivin and dangerous prepare to get sweaty and gallop that dance floor

after five succesful releases which have generated support by just about anyone you can think of (martin landsky, dominik eulberg, plastikman, michael mayer, frank lorber, mandy etc) - these ten-inch vinyls have reached number 6 (out of 10) in the series. once again labelowner agaric has made the a-side track, for this one a delightfully melancholic peace of music yet with a pounding bottom groove to go with it. guesting the b-side is the brilliant young star from jena: mathias kaden, known for recent outstanding work on labels like vakant and freude am tanzen

the (un)official world championchip winner anthem by zok zok. pressed and shipped from the pressing plant just a few minutes after the end of the penalty , zok zok pays tribut to the world champion winner from italy. el ultimo l homage to del piero, cannavaro, totti, buffon, zambrotta, grosso, rimini, ice café, auto scooter, italo disco, lancia, gianna nannini .... viva italia.
