james whats debut release for crosstown rebels is a two track single of sheer class! a hypnotic, hooky emotive pair of dancefloor weapons that will not fail to get under your skin. his deft production skills are championed here in this irresistible new single, truly sublime!

slamming three track ep, first track afro acid is a raw, noise (distortion effects) and dirty sounding with live feeling, not made for high fidelity people, really really raw... flipside is more for deep & jackin house lovers, especially b2 (freedom) is just a deep house masterpiece

following the success of his debut ep, komisch is delighted to put out the next instalment from sp-x. like his first release, the three tracks on field lines never end capture the essence of contemporary techno - austere and functional, yet deeply resonating. field construction starts with crackle of a broken power cable accompanying brittle percussion and a juggernaut rhythm, before dank filters, distorted riffs and a combination of doubled up claps and hissing hats bring the track to an irresistibly dark climax. internalize follows a similar path, but straight away sp-x plots a more ominous course, with a muffled filter making way for jarring riffs, a grubby acid line and killer claps. last but certainly not least, flux is constructed using dense rhythms, deadweight, iron bar beats and a howling siren riff that sounds like it came from beyond. all the while, sp-xs rasping, firing percussion weaves in and out. these are deadly effective techno tracks, streamlined for use on big speakers - but dont take our word for it, try them out yourselves!

ltd backstock ! long time not available..

echolettes second release manzanillo 002, follows up with a similar tropical -journey feeling- as felt on echolettes first release, perhaps setting the style for this excellent new label. whereas before it was pygmys and bongos, this time manzanillo has a distinctly more mexican, if not aztec vibe. the original mix kicks off with steady galloping horse like drums and percussion, which is suddenly met by a lovely melodic bassline, which again is doubled up with what sounds like a xylophone. just as your wondering where its all going, a wicked little riff with delayed minimal vocal slices enter the mix keeping the groove going on and on forever and ever... another brilliant and quality piece of music from jackie misfit

back with a bunch of killer collaborations from the labels hottest talents! supported by: paco osuna, gregor tresher, gabriel ananda, markus fix, andrew grant, slam, michael reinboth, raresh, davide squillace, 2000 and one, karotte, nic fanciulli , m.a.n.d.y., julien chaptal, anthony collins, nick curly, enzo siragusa, robert dietz, gregor tresher, markus fix, michel de hey, fabrizio maurizi, anja schneider, julietta, luca bacchetti, michael reinboth, davide squillace, raresh, arado, 2000 and one, simon baker, nic fanciulli, kabal und liebe, audiofly .. every now and then, chance pushes two artists into the studio together. when that happens not only do interesting combinations of artists arise, but also the opportunity for exceptional music to be created. the epic pairings of dan drastic and matthias tanzmann, chris lattner and luna city express, and martinez and matthias tanzmann team up for the second edition of the very special moon harbour joints series. dan drastic and matthias tanzmann open the record with >puddle trouble<, a dry, reduced deephouse track which elegantly builds a bridge from funky oldschool grooves to modern house…

oslo says hello to 2011 with a great ep again from one of the best electronic producers at the moment, guillaume & the coutu dumonts. we all know his eps on oslo, so we can be sure that he will not dissapoint. on the a side we find >praise to the beat maker< an amazing track with lyrics by dave aju, you will never take this track out of your mind. the rhythm is 100% guillaume. the second track of the ep >promess-lovin< gives the main melody to the release, and with some female vocals remains us one of the best old school house periods. the last track >all you have to do< is a very slow and musical track, wich keeps the line of the ep and at the same time add something different.

miguel is a new man on the block from czech republic, playing techno along with progressive and anything with a groove. here he presents a great idea along with sky flowers, 2 very sexy slower techno tracks that ooze quality. to accompany this great idea of tracks yin yang asked 2 of its more established remixers - mikatech (dj mika) from the former yugoslavia, well known for his hard groove tracks, mika is now making a huge name for himself with a slower but very sexy techno sound. vincent mallvile the parisian that does not hold no punches. french techno, yes please! vinny boy has also done the deeds with his remix. again another excellent package of techno from yin yang. will fit in any techno djs collection. be it from warm up to end of set (if you play the slower sound of tech). played by cristian varela, pedro delgardo, paco osuna, anderson noise, jermome baker, trevor rockliffe, lars klein, wyrus, scott project, dj felipe, mark sherry, ruslan mays, vortechtral, reaky, dastin, roman zawodny + lots more!

phoreski, who was the first ever remixer for iib returns to remix >electric sunburst< from the harlyn bay lp, creating a heads down dirty balearic slo-mo basement monster as only he can. next up is tony watson from adult contempory / la who remixes >pacific breeze< adding a touch of west coast b-boy flair. peter visti takes on the not-yet-released track >childhood melody< creating an epic balearic journey starting fairly uptempo before changing gear to groove along at a more leisurely slomo speed. top quality as always. finally, and proving the boys have the jump on tomorrows stars early, the amazing & much sought after aeroplane rework of >too hard<, originally released in 2007. another all round top package.

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

boys noize and housemeister, 2 good old friends from berlin with a lot of love for analog found together again to rave in the studio. after their first collaboration in 2006 under the name of eastwest, they are now brining us 3 new jams you don¥t want to miss. shizzo is the track youd probably expect from these 2 f..ckers:loud, noizy and stupid! its up and down parts shake the club like you were sitting in a rollercoaster - beware this is not for everyone. nbaxx is a new breakbeat track. breakbeat?yeah! with a hint of inspiration by lfo freak, this one comes quite minimal but hard, just the way these buddies like it. saturday the secret a side on this maxi is a disco-tech track, with moving arpeggios and big melodic break where spheric disco pads cool you down before you and the kids jump up to this piece of 2011 disco music.

what a journey! well, these guys have been around for a while- they have gone through: rave, jazz, krautrock, garage, detroit, house, hip-hop, disco, folk, dubstep, electronica, funk, punk, wave, chicago house, handmade music and soul. all those nights at clubs, the records, the shelves, the dirt in the second-hand record shops, the stacked audio- and studio magazines in their toilets or elsewhere in the house, the hours spent making their own radio-shows, hundreds of hotels checked in and out of, dozens of sound-checks done. last but not least, the revivals, the subgenres, the fusion - well these peeps have given real influential input into some of these (sub)genres in the past. >lovin< is the second single release of the upcoming >alex and the grizzly< album which is due out in april 2011. alex barck is on the vocals together with lois longerling, who is known for her work with dollkraut. andre lodemann delivers a smart remix giving the tune his trade-mark sound and putting onto the house-dancefloors. prommer and barck are on tour with their own live show.

jorge ciccioli is not a newbie anymore. he remixed kleinschmager audios >audio3< for rrygular, last year. and consistently in early 2011 he delivers his first techno-stomper. although with full focus on the dancefloor, >jawa< doesnt need any stereotype offbeat emphasis but throws around percussins in semiquavers. on the flip side there is no time for you to relax! the hypnotic winter solstice remix by tim xavier really knocks your socks off!

the ppu label searched for this guy for years and as soon as they got a hold of the mysterious california gospel producer the first question was, why name your group shelve? >its not shelf, its shell-vee, for shelby!< ppu was finally able to locate shelby when releasing a record with michael soward (ppu-022), turned out shelby produced the title track >hes alive<. >this world< was recorded and mixed by dale >rambo< ramsey, who went on to work with some major hip-hop acts like ludacris, raekwon and the youngbloodz! today shelby hurns is still producing records and will be releasing his latest cd summer 2011. check!

eric duncan (of rub n tug fame) drops number three in his keep it cheap series - this time inviting underground uk disco hero foolish felix dickinson to take care of b side duties. head and shoulders above the glut of edits out there, these dig much deeper & are purpose built for sweaty club use, and not to tantalize bedroom bloggers.
as with the cult combi series, we expect these to sell out in a matter of days - 300 copies only.

not just another beat, but subtle dubbed out deep house killer cuts from prostitune for just another beat volume 4!

supported by: radio slave, robert dietz, lauhaus, alex celler, matt tolfrey, slam, anthea, konrad black, anthony collins,.. air london presents the debut solo release from adam shelton. already releasing music with subb-an (either as subb-an & shelton or under their sas guise), air trax marks the first full release for adam in his own right, and its one hell of an introduction. both tracks here have been made for the late night hours as adam shelton really gets into his gritty groove with this speaker-busting double hitter. >crazy talk< starts off with a hypnotic rolling drumbeat and a fixating, echoing vocal that builds until the driving bassline kicks in and leaves you hooked. on the flip >do not attempt< is another killer cut with clipped broken beats and crisp hi-hats. a shady vocal, uttered throughout, is swathed in siren cries and more brooding bassline

big with: nick curly, laurent garnier, sebo k, jackmate, radio slave, ripperton, deetron, anja schneider, anthony collins, gregor tresher, mathias kaden, paul woolford, brothers vibe, arnaud le texier, reboot, martinez,... all thirteen releases of the label to date have have showcased the talent of a solo artist, but today five are welcomed for what is not only their label debuts, but also a first >v/a< release for bass culture records. danny fiddo & jm aboga lead from the front with >evil intentions<, which strangely enough, with its smooth feel good vibes, is anything but. fiddo needs little introduction. as a resident of valencias barraca club, he has shared the dj booth with the worlds biggest names, and his music has already found a home on labels including buzzin fly, rekids, ovum and barraca. fellow valencian jose maria, has also resided in the house of barraca. his solo production work can be found on time has changed and novo music, and together with fiddo, the pair have released on fumakilla and monique. fabio giannelli demonstrates just how much his production style has matured on the beautifully cultured, >leitmotiv<. fabio has, over the past three years, become one of italys finest house music exp

meth has been working hard from his base in the south of the uk and has been creating a monster to unleash for offkey music. his initial solo releases for offkey brought much attention and dance floor destruction. quickly people realised that meth was a force not to be underestimated. this is first full length project and offkey are very happy to be releasing it. meth has gathered a stellar cast for the treatment ep û and that cast extends to 2shy, manifest & zo. let us get treated!

nice price deal !!! early support by luciano, dop, mathias kaden, steve bug, dixon, tini, karotte, markus fix, chris lattner, timo maas, ripperton, nick harris, martin landsky!baalsaal welcomes mr aeromaschine and predicts a long relationship to come. aeromaschine delivered a real versatile stunner. debunking random myths stands out as a very unpredictable piece of live performanced like collage and definitely will be his opener on his next festival in summer. not so is an hypnotic acidy interpretation of past future old school with a present high roller coat. this track blew us away. on the flip dean aka bearweasel digs a little deeper with classy dubby elements and a journey to planet x dream dancing to come... the dark horse is serenades for simple brains a beatdowner that nails it when it comes to non hype edit production.. a track to play for the next decade.

soeren bodner alias monkey maffia is in his deepest corners most definitely one of these. as 50% the mass of the duo wighnomy brothers he along with ex-dj partner robag delivered for more than 1 and 1/2 decades the thunderous current to the dance floors of the world. his vinyl collection has a great measure of the university library. his creativity is just the same. thats why his release debut is nurtured from a kiln of ideas and inspiration. now finally a new valve of creativity of monkey-energy, as it were. fluctuations and trends of the genre he gives a sly wink to. for him quality and originality is taken seriously. there is not just a mere taste when hearing his track-select ingredients of his own making. the same as in his sets, there is an indisputable >happening< along with a diversity in the pieces. it is quite simply monkey maffia unadulterated - sometimes coaxingly understanding, sometimes psychotic with a thump in the hand and scratching on the head...

aviciis new single of 2011, street dancer is a great driving main room bomb and should not be missing on the dance floors this year! the swede takes breakmachines classic street dance from 1983 and gives his own unmistakable handwriting. enjoy the original mix and enjoy street dancing.

limited, 300 pressed… once upon a time in a borough not so far away… endlessly walking the streets, on one of those hot-as-hell summer days in brooklyn nyc. you pause on the corner, to catch your breath, only to have an old box of records catch your eye. your fingers start to gather dust as you rifle though 12s with names like strictly rhythm, nu groove, madhouse, henry street and loop nloop on the labels. as you reach the end of your frenzied search, one unassuming piece of wax, in particular, seems to mysteriously peek your interest… on the corner vol. 1. the debut release for the brooklyn nyc based cortelyou road recordings. this will be first in a series of compilations coming from cortelyou road. leaving no stone unturned in their search for the finest production talent from around the globe

some producers are just so underrated that it makes you sick. quadrant is a formation thats been around since 2005 and has released tracks on prestigious labels like renegade hardware, citrus, fokuz to name a few. the quality of their output is extraordinarily crisp and original that its hard not to notice them, this dermaphoria ep is exactly that. and as allways this quadrant release comes with a sexy cover by designer mesk.

lime dubz keep on cracking with another too hot to handle release.. the long time duo jade & matt-u are reunited once again but not for getting back to their dnb roots. no jade teams up with matt-u for some highly technical dubstep sounds. grindhouse on jades venom lp was just a taster of what was to come..

big with: deetron, tedd patterson, stuart mcmillan, craig richards, josh wink, chymera, stephan bodzin, monika kruse, ivan smagghe, paul woolford, stacey pullen, radio slave, ... the word >legend< gets bandied around and awarded far to easily these days. but a truer title could not be found for , kirk degiorgio. from the mid 80s working in sohos reckless records buying in the latest rare soul and jazz releases from the us, to his current 2010 releases on planet e and art. kirk has been at the very forefront of boundary pushing, electronic music since its inception.

huge booty action on prohibited feat club reworks of the hits gramaphonredze and >sunglasses at night< not to be missed!

as nang completes its first two years on the planet things are going pretty well. we are certainly not getting rich in financial terms but the love of the music and plaudits are warming our souls to the core. along the way we have also managed to work with some amazing artists and introduce some mighty-fine new ones to the world so it is with great pleasure that we bring you the 2nd installment of our >array< series. it is a stock-take of the best nang tunes from the past year, some previews on future hits and some tracks we just had to release!

fresh beats delivered directly from the caribbean by venezuelan producer trujillo on his latest appearance on the spanish-venezuelan label apersonal music. trujillos ability to make you feel caught up in an eternal summer vibe gets clearer and stronger with every track he releases. on this release main single >fruit punch< is simplicity at its best, squeezing the most out of basic classic-house elements. it builds up slowly until the original guitar tunes in, thats when you take a sip of your fruit punch (or whatever sweet drink comes handy) and enjoy the sea breeze in your face (whether its there or not..). for the extra flavor on your drink they pour an edit-format track >looking up through you<. lots of original ingredients here enough to make this edit an own piece of music... venezuelan keyboard player mister casanova on board plus trujillo mixing it all up in his best poolside bar style. fresh juicy punched stuff here! on the remix department 2 remix versions from uk based producer toby tobias plus a classy fashioned remix from canadian eddie c. tobias is a hard working man, and when you ask him for one he hits you twice, hard to pick one remix although one had to be selected for digital only release (size matters some time!). what can we say about eddie c.. apersonal had already made a statement that they love classic grooves, and it cant get classier than eddies beats on his remix! this groove is what house music is all about, and it will always be.

repress !! blackest ever black is a new london-based label that seeks to re-establish electronic music as a poetic, provocative and emotionally inquisitive force. music by artists, not engineers. its first release is a self-titled ep by raime, a british duo who draw explicit inspiration from the marginal mavericks of early european goth, industrial and synth wave - artists largely omitted from the current master narrative of post-punk history, and who strove to make music at once cerebral and visceral, futuristic and atavistic. well-versed in the language of club music, but rejecting its typically rigid sequencing and arrangements, raime use technology pensively - to convey a sense of crisis, collapse and longing. transporting and disorienting though their work might be, its narratively taut and has no truck whatsoever with the cosmic, its too aggressive and engaged to be called psychedelic.

big m is back with number 9 of their funky-as-hell breakbeat mashup madness!

ulysses dj career began in 1991, when he started his universitys first techno radio show. shortly after graduating he returned to his hometown and became a player in the late-90s electro scene in new york, running some of the earliest large-scale electro parties in new york. guests included legends such as alexander robotnick and arthur baker, as well as recent stars like i.f., miss kitten and the hacker and adult. ulysses is not only about party promotion, however, and a close look at his diverse musical career will quickly shatter this misconception. although a long-time advocate of obscure disco and classic techno, ulysses is currently best known for the piano house anthem robotic hypnotic adventure from his neurotic drum band collaboration with john selway. in addition to the ndb ulysses collaborates with thugfuckers holmar filipsson as filipsson & ulysses, who are releasing soon-to-be classic eps of emotive electronic disco on internasjonal and bearfunk records. ulysses still continues to chart his own musical path with an incredible ep of dark pop for internasjonal spesial in the works, as well as some new club-friendly dance tracks on wurst and his solo debut for throne of blood. the acid reflux ep represents the diversity of ulyssess talent, from banging acid tracks to moody downtempo and grooving electronic house. to round things out ulysses recruited prins thomas to deliver an unprecedented nine-minute rerub of >acid reflux< that preserves the originals 303 groove but injects a heaping dose of cosmic atmosphere and live instrumentation into the mix. essential

nice price deal !!! on this first release matt follows on from his bingo, jerona fruits and shadybrain releases with his latest offering >threatz<, featuring cuts from jehst and diversion tactics dj jazz t. caned by bailey on his 1xtra show, this is hard hitting drum and bass at its best, full of aggressive funk, tough beats and old skool 97 flavour. on the aa is >embryonic<, a rolling slice of tech drum and bass with an infectious groove that keeps proceedings dark but full of funk, making this a solid release that bodes well for a label concerned with quality not quantity.

for more than 5 years cargo edition has been standing for the deeper house productions of moon harbour/cargo edition’s roster of artists. so far acts like ekkohaus, michael melchner and markus schatz have been setting the tone. now this platform is offered to artists who haven’t yet appeared on the label. the warehouse release is the first of a series of various artists eps. we invited artists like steven cock from dresden, ralph sliwinski as well as the italian acts mass prod & marco daquino and minimono to contribute tracks to warehouse vol.1. the sound of the first ep is all about consistent house music that does not need any cheap rave tricks. old school house music is quoted with skills and style and translated to the modern dance floor. warehouse vol.1 is the perfect start into the fifth year of cargo edition. luciano (cadenza): cargo edition is a great label, probably one of the most quality dance music.. full support!

feat remixes by art department, wolf + lamb & sideshow. simple celebrates its 50th single release in the new year (and each one of those 50 have been released on that wonderful black stuff known to old people as vinyl). a release that will see the founder, a&r, label manager and tea boy will saul and his long term production partner tam cooper team up for a limited edition gatefold vinyl double pack ep (yep, theyll loose loads of money but not many people get to 50 vinyl releases without loosing their house, car and mind so we think its worth celebrating. the release will feature 4 new tracks from will & tam with remixes from wolf + lamb & slow hands, sideshow and art department (jonny white & kenny glasgow).

terrence parker presents music works volume # 1 (catalog pmw001) is a special project featuring tps favorite picks from his parker music works label featuring house fused with disco, funk, soul, gospel and jazz. tp chose these 3 tracks not only because he likes them personally, but they were also among the most requested tracks by tp fans for a vinyl release. the a side features tps gospel-disco-house production of >let your love show< which was produced in 2010. the b side features a jazz-house fusion track entitled >soul juice< by dj leandre of paris, france. also featured on side b is a disco-house stomper entitled >lets get some love< produced by matt veloce who is a new producer from minneapolis, usa. for fans who like the sound of tps classic tribute ep, this special release is a must have!

a1: your last chance - very housey vibe on this one, with a heavy kick drum/snare combo. expanding synth line and very subtle percussive elements help the track build. it really kicks in when the vocals hit along with a funky ass bass groove. beautiful! a2: sailin 79 - slow paced track, centred on the vocal. great backing with bass, rising & shooting synth sounds. not so much for the dance floor, a great track for bar surroundings or a low key dj set! b1: youre welcome - smooth groove on this one, vocals are really well executed and give the track a great edge. killer track! b2: love is gone - super chilled track with a cosmic disco feel. waving synths, and echoed vocals create a very big sound. this track is encapsulating, pulling you into the groove for the entirety and sticking in your mind once its ended! brilliant stuff!

kicking off for the first release label owners maarten and jasper deliver a package of three different tracks. edition of 250 copies, hand stamped not to be repressed.

to kick-start the fina campaign we literally hunted high and low to find an artist and sound that we felt would represent us and give a statement of intent. what we didnt expect was for this search to take us south of the equator and into to the deep southern hemisphere. this is not the first place that you would expect to hear warm, deep underground house but this is exactly what you get with the melbourne based mic newman. and thinking about it, it doesnt get warmer or deeper than melbourne does it? mic is a young producer who we believe is destined for greatness. at the age of 29, hes already had a string of underground smashes on labels such as murmur, tsuba, dirt crew, freerange, and now for fina records. the intriguingly named live east, die young ep (mic riffing on his time spent living in london) sees what mic doing what he does best and demonstrates why his future is so bright. on die young, the tougher a-side, mic keeps the beats solid, and the groove tight and hypnotic, while the smooth chord stabs get right under your skin. prolonged foot tapping ensues. on the flip side, live east, mic takes it a little deeper with ever so subtle disco touches. the vocal sample asks what your name is and to take off your jacket as if to welcome you to a very messy after hours on this mcde-esque low-slung house groove. on remix duty, the on-form jacques renault and marcos cabral aka runaway, lift the track out of the south hemisphere and take it in a north easterly direction all the way to the caribbean – adding plenty of steel drums and pads on their interpretation of live east

will be back in stock in mid february 2011 !!! slamming detroit techno at it best. but its not produced in detroit , its made in sweden !

whilst the bpitch control >werkschau< cd showcases the label and its 12-year history in its entire stylistic breadth, the first single from this exceptional album is predominantly about one thing: dancing! thats why we are not settling for album track lengths her, the single release is packed full of extended versions - made by ellen allien, sascha funke and moderat.

even in 2011 superstar recordings starts with a new brillant single tequila sunrise. afrojack and tocadisco created a great monster tune, which should not be missing in your record case

whats my name, the latest single from the bajan songstress rihanna, is not a cover of the clashs 1977 punk classic, but finds riri taking a detour from the dancefloor-scorching grooves of only girl to craft a steamier cut which draws its heat from her short-lived, but much-buzzed-about relationship with the t-dot heavyweight. here, the upbeat synth boardwork of stargate sets the stage for a heaping helping of innuendo from both collaborators, drizzy handles verse one, sing-rapping his way through a double-entendre-peppered opener (the square root of 69 is (eight/ate) something… right? cause i been tryin to work it out.), and rihanna responds in kind, lacing her verses and chorus with some playful come-ons of her own. digging this catchy ode to young love/lust? then be sure to grab a copy of this vinyl and the heavy remixes it has.

its not every day that we receive demos from new artists that totally rock our world, but when its happens its a joy and a reminder of why we are still doing this. and so tears of joy rolled onto the speakers when we played policys demos. when contacted policy he told us he is from nyc, is a part time movie director and only started making music recently. out of the bunch of tracks we received >specialty party< and >light over fort lee< form his debut ep. both tracks challenge the beat spectrum once again and definitely speak his cinematic mind. expect more music from policy on rush hour later this year. he surely is our contender for best newcomer of 2011.

2010 was a great year for planet rhythm, solid releases from great artists and a lot of good feedback, airplay and reviews. many djs are happy to play the releases and the crowd reacts in the only proper way,just dancing and showing love. planet rhythm is standing for quality techno releases and will continue doing so for years to come. first up for 2011 is claudio ponticelli showing his look on the italian side of techno, enjoy and play it out loud as usual!
