after the great mojuba g.o.d.2 by chez damier it is time for some oracy action, its been a while since we heard from the creator of such classics as family day and mind dance. but now after doing a very fine remix for balance alliance in the meantime, he is back in full effect. the a-side bass mood is featuring a disco break styled beat combined with a sick acid bassline à a special track for that special moment on the floor! the b-side with funk advice is cooling things a little down, but in a way only a mojuba record can do it - some serious deepness is waiting for you!

we love the way of leeks experimenting with sounds, some are quite edgy others are electronic sounding and not necessarily pleasing sounds as we get them in nearly every production these days. >qwerty< for example does not subdue to the daily routine of >todays techno< but moves upright and proudly. ever listened to jeff mills? you will then understand a bit about whats going on here.&#8232,,,,,

and last but certainly not least. the fifth episode to complete the five releases in the run up to the much anticipated 10 years of clr compilation. hold on to your hats people. the final finale, chris liebing presents his very own contribution to this 10 year anniversary compilation.

back again we have the mediterranean flavor of the friends affkt and alberto sola. always experimenting with different ingredients like the cooker ferran adria, the guys who laid the first stone of the legendary label barraca, now present a hybrid of pop and house which will leave no one indifferent. ‘pobla loves you’ was born with the tuba of alberto cuartero, orchestra director of hoya gonzalo in albacete. marc and alberto (affkt and sola) wanted to have a typical instrument of a band and merged it with the electronic dance scene, always being faithful to his maxim of making music to dance as well as to listen. if we surround valencia, road to pobla de farnals, we passed through la canada. there are los updates, who upon hearing the organic rhythm of pobla and the work with the wind instruments, set to work with the voices. perfectly adapted to the capital of the turia river, jorge and loreto propose a valencian poem that their children have learned at school. the moon of valencia then join our dinner for four. finally, we add to our paella a bit of percussion and keyboards made in affkt, to get a main course and obtain a typical valencian plate but by adding a little chilean salt becomes international. more oriented to the dance floor, there are three rather different remixes. new union between spain and chile, with danny fiddo and felipe venegas. this couple present an elegant and deep remix with drums and vocals perfectly adapted to the current sound. moreover, the french man darlyn vlys re-interpreted >pobla loves you< with a lot of groove and percussion added. finally, affkt gives his funker version of events to complete a job that will come out by the german label international freakshow

decks store tipp !! check track 3 (daniele papini & dop)... dop have managed to create their very own interpretation of how dance music should sound which makes them really something special these days… but if you combine them with the power of artists like noze, wareika, catz&dogz or daniele papini you will get some serious bombs and we are really happy to present four of them on the second watergate records vinyl! these four tracks are all taken from their incredible mix for watergate and they show perfectly the range of the 3 guys from paris. from the state of the art deep house with catz&dogz to their great jam with wareika over to some freaky session with noze it all ends with a true dance floor smasher with daniele papini. enjoy!

lektroluv records is on a roll! after recent hot new signings such as mightyfools and highbloo, gtronic is the dr.s latest acquisition to his roster. with >iron man< gtronic released one of the biggest tracks of last year, supported by all the usual suspects and used by the bloody beetroots on their mix-cd. his debut for lektroluv will be the cameltoe ep, but gtronics upcoming projects also include an ep for dimmak. definitely someone to keep an eye on!

with ‚into the great wide yonder trentemøller is not only exploring new moody and atmospheric universes, but combines his sense for glorious soundscapes with a firm melodic and tonal touch. the original chord progressions and feel for melodies is fundamental to him, and thats also the reason why most of the instruments are played by trentemøller himself on this album. >i like the possibility to be surprised that chords and melodies change into something new. the music that i like most lets the themes and sounds come back in different disguises<. the danish multi instrumentalist and producer shows an unexpected talent for finding vocalists that fit the mood of his songs. the first single of the album, the beautifully tender >sycamore feeling<, featuring marie fisker, is a typical highlight

every so often a new talent pops up out of nowhere and delivers something special which grabs everyones attention. so, for its 12th offering redux is very proud to present an exciting new artist with his first ever release and what a debut it is. christophe, known to his mum and dad as christopher rees is not only a dab hand in the studio but a talented graphic designer in the day and dj with the futureboogie crew at night. after playing a demo of >make a mark< to tristan one hazy morning in his hometown of bristol, the track was quickly snapped up by redux without haste. drenched in classic house sensibilities and showing astounding amounts of skill and taste for his first foray into the world of production, the future looks bright from this point on for christophe.

james kumo grew up in kent but moved to london and later manchester. in february of 2008, his first ep got released on amsterdams ann aimee records, a delsin sublabel. 2009 saw one more release on ann aimee and a record for dan curtins metamorphic label. now curle is proud to announce james kumos next ep, featuring two original tracks and a remix by our compatriot and man of the moment, peter van hoesen.

the detroit duo known as reference focuses on the soul of electronic music, not the hype, staying true while working to promote the expression of underground music and dance culture. luke hess is a name synonymous with a new wave of detroit techno producers, but his roots go deeper than that. his continued dedication to musicianship and his natural talent as a dj have allowed him to release music on some of the most respected labels in the genre, and play some of the most prestigious clubs in the world. brian kage is the founder of the record label beretta music. along with a countless number of successful releases, brian s experience as a producer, dj, and label head has helped catapult the careers of some of today s brightest and best artists in the dance music community.

early support by nic fanciulli, deetron, 2000 and one, shinedoe, dubfire, mauro picotto, boris werner, karotte, lauhaus and many more!... ilario alicante put his name on the map two years ago with his breakthrough hit >living near africa< on cecille, that was played by literally every big dj on the planet and from then on gained a lot of respect with high quality productions on tenax, sci+tec or blabla.
now we are very happy to bring to you his latest creation for break new soil: the title track >streamvision< kicks off with a subtle melody, easy-going at first but then growing stronger and stronger to finally explode in the breakdown – we can already see this one setting dancefloors on fire from rome to tokyo! on the flipside ilario shows a new side of his production – with >origami< he sets free a chicago-inspired monster groove that certainly will tear the roofs off the clubs its played in to finally let the summer in!

already played by: adam beyer, gel abril, len faki, joseph capriati, alan fitzpatrick, edit select, luke slater, dustin zahn, mihalis safras, secret cinema, paco osuna...!!! touched hits the road with another strong release. this time with a power production by bessioud mohamed khaled aka >m0h< from canada, as well as two great remixes by gary beck! no need to introduce gary beck, since hes made his name during the last years and earned massive respect by putting out music on labels such as: soma, edit-select, minus, figure & many more! m0hs tracks come along in a powerful but very multilateral way, which makes us confident, that you will hear more of this guy in the future!

the solid tumbling tones found on this ep are all thats needed as an introduction to these two accomplished producers latest creation. both strong forces in their own right, the pair come together once again on sweatshop to present their vision of dancefloor harmony, and mystery! sirens is the aptly titled track whose crazy vibe is encapsulated by jacking, swinging percussion, wild pitching synth stabs and a haunting soprano soloist letting loose! this needs to be experienced to be believed, but the proof will be in the dancefloor, hands in the air and minds expanded! moirae works the tension with dense filtered stabs and crisp solid state percussion, driving this deep slab of dark dance into blissful moments of release. mellow yet urgent, its a raw, purist electronic statement! joel alter also offers up a special edit which focuses the groove in a slightly more kinetic direction, with reduced, aquatic synth work and a classic club energy that makes it an ideal addition to the package.

anybody never heard of moullinex? we can t imagine. blogs, music mags and dj s have been getting mad about the digitalfunk of luis clara gomes - better known as moullinex. and all this with only one official release! (breakchops ep 2009). the remix for two door cinema club (kitsune) has been a real club hit and his sebastien tellier remix was the one that had been most featured on playlists (along with a–trak s remix). yes: the remix for cut copy on modular was a bomb, too and his telonius remix is currently playlisted all around. guess that s the reason why so many labels have been chasing moullinex to sign on them. some have been really pushing him hard to join their roster, but luis preferred to stay with his munich buddies at gomma. and so now it is sure: this new moullinex ep is only the beginning of a whole series for gomma records.

inally, this club smasher from londons underground blog merchants venom and damage is due for release! having cut their teeth in londons gutter house bass movement with tracks like >love in the club<, >paradise slugs< and their >maximum carnage< mixtapes, venom and damage drop a new take on the uks house sound, in the form of >deeper<. its hard edged production, syncopated rhythms and anthem-like synths are recognisable from a mile off and are no doubt what has been causing such a stir in the clubs. if youve seen modeselektor any time in the past 12 months, chances are youve gone nuts to this track – so big, the guys included it as a focal point of their recent global live sets, and featured it on their resident advisor podcast. it has also and gained support from djs such as adam freeland, marcus nasty, martyn, brodinski, jackmaster, xxxy, julio bashmore and more. deeper becomes the first release on the ten thousand yen imprint, co-run by the uks rising star doc daneeka and its the man himself who delivers on remix duties, keeping the strong melodic feel, but giving it that more oppressive basement vibe.

italy has been evolving into the fiercest hot spot for brand new club-acts over the last 2 years. crookers, dusty kid, congorock, all these musicians have influenced the international electronic scene massively and have put this european country on the place to bemap. well, here comes another bad ass act from the home of spaghetti eaters and ferrari racers, the cyberpunkers are about to be unleashed on all innocent bystanders and behold, these guys mean business. just listen to there up-coming track i needed to goon germanys prime indie-elektro labe freakz me out records, this dance-floor killer is not just the next level in peek time insanity but also another big step forward in the constantly progressing indie- club scene. these two italian djs are cleverly juxtaposing music, fashion, design and photography with another, giving their rapidly growing fan base a complete package to enjoy. remixes by the extremely successful boysnoize records master in demand d.i.m. and the fast moving tom deluxx. with these top-notch producers under their 12inch belt, the cyberpunkers are bound to make an huge impact on all non-believers. bon appetit!

yore returns with the 3rd release on the yore limited series. 300 limited copies in green transparent vinyl. a beauty musically and for the eye. orlando b. favours the kind of funky and raw-sounding techno that flourished during the late-’90s and early-’00s and so naturally invests his maiden voyage on the yore imprint with the same kind of classic soul that renders that earlier era’s sound so appealing. ” beneath the surface ep ” largely focuses on warm house grooves. “a feeling” dishes out eight minutes of classic deep house that’s also as funky as hell. a subtle latin percussion vibe sneaks in at the beginning but quickly enough the tune rolls out a warm house strut that dominates thereafter, piano sprinkles, lush strings, and a crisp, hi-hat-spun groove give the tune added style and flair, as does the insistence of the titular vocal sample. “esoteric” digs into a steamy, bass-driven house beat that’s both raw and funky, then slathers it with a synth solo that squeals with delight, while “new york tale” smoothens its techno core with warm chords and delicious house swing. “mj12&#8243,,,, is the coolest and most techy cut on this diverse four cut ep. orlando b. sprinkling billowing dub chords and a spoken voice sample over a rock-solid tech-house base that will go straight under your skin, when it hits you on the dancefloor. 300 copies left still. go grab yours before it’s too late

usa based label steps in time are back with a 3 track release from digisonic, a relative newcomer to the scene but is about to make major moves if these tracks are anything to go by. deep, gritty and hard dubstep akin to the sounds of datsik or excision, dont sleep on this one.

limited edition one sided 10inch. a tune. and a voice. and a simple choice?. be my husband and ill be your wife. i can hear it playing in clubs from newquay to east fife. >what is that?< they say, >i know that, im sure<. but theyve never heard it played like that before. its all about the drop, let the music talk the talk. no one ever gets paid. never run before you can walk. and its all about the music, love the trouble, love the strife. because i will love you for the rest of my life. busted by:(the tea drinking) scruff,(the diminutive yet mighty) geiom,( the masked wonder that is) sbtrkt

brendon moeller is back after 3 eps on echocord, but this time on echocord colour. the track >mainline< is a very powerful dub-techno track that will please all the fans out there.

another brutal speaker assault from the coinop camp! voted the worlds greatest label ever (repeatedly) by channel 4 viewers. nan-bangin says it all really - yet again the coinop massive (led by general mustard gunn) freak our minds and bootys with this, a very london affair....other than that theres not a lot to say for a label that has everyone hooked but our office highlight has to be the brilliant kanjis brand new vip remix of his own previously huge coinop track >drive you crazy<

quartz rec. family is looking forward to start the summer with a bang! here we present you a new series of collaborations between the artists of the label.
paul ritch has teamed up with his good friend paco osuna to deliver a groovy monster tune while carlo lio and canadian friends the junkies show us their skills with the well titled >go ahead listen< track. last but not least okain & hermanez >buds bomber< completes this rocking ep.

this is the first of two vinyl releases of the channel x debut album >the x files<. andré and mirko decided to put four smashers on this first ep: it kicks off with circus-infused polka minimal tech track >freak show<. next up is >strange girl<, the tooly and soulful vocal tech-house that channel x have become renowned for. on the flip its channel x show how deep their house approach can go on the super sweet male vocal track >snug descent<. last, but surely not least this ep finishes with >we love the x<, a perfect showcase of what channel x stand for: vocals, effects, big basslines and strong loops.

mr force funk is coming hard! fukk he produced with his buddy kutmah mixed up with own jams and other collabs... its his first tracks on wax!! crazy ass shit that can t be categorized (but i m sure some stubborn journalist will come up with something to avoid he is getting confused). fusing p-funk, electro, disco, electronix, rap and everything dirty, pure and with soul! oh and for the trainspotters... yes that is an old obscure legowelt track used for split!

following the stunning and bestselling debut from das volt has taken the lna boys a little longer than expected, but boy was it worth the wait ! having forged a keen army of converts to their late night audio club nights & establishing a reputation as one of london’s best underground parties, it was only a matter of time before they started their own label to release the music they & their party people love to dance to. expect the finest in deep electronic house, balearic boogie and italo flavours, all expertly mastered onto luxurious vinyl with slick graphic artwork. toby tobias really needs no introduction, his productions have graced some of the worlds finest underground labels, and his debut lp on matt radioslave edwards rekids won unanimous praise. macasu is a solid dancefloor piece, layers of slick percussion, plenty of low end girth and enough of tobys trademark dubbed-out and lysergic track trickery to usher in the summers al fresco dancing perfectly. the mighty danilo plessow, otherwise known as motor city drum ensemble is at the top of his game right now, selling crazy units on his raw cuts series & almost single-handedly converting an army of minimalistas into disco darlings ! in his own words made for breezy summernights, open air, near the beach, beautiful people around you, and the dj spinning slow sexy jams like this. enjoy! a killer release folks, which won’t be around for long !

rico aka dinamoe sometimes really behaves like jekyll & hyde. he can t decide between mad techno tunes or easy, uplifting house music ? but at the end it is always damn hot.

alex caytas & aleks patz have been doing great productions for quite some time now. but it wasnt untill this track hit our speakers that our ears screamed: yes! fantastic drum programming, solid subs and do-dos are the simple and effective elements that makes this track so driving.

new bootleg label - super class deep and tech house tunes by a famous but scret producer.. guess who

techno and house heavyweights chymera and king roc who both delivered not one but 2 mixes for this ep!

strange but cool electrofied tracks with some weird moods. reminds a bit of old irdial stuff. a 2010 repress with the standard new bunker label and hand stamped on the back

my music is my space - the last chapter. a really successful series will be closed, many artists we supported here - and they supported us! thanx to daniel stefanik, mike huckaby, chet, arne weinberg, naohito uchiyama and all the other friends with their brilliant sounds! but enjoy the 4th chapter - with tracks by shohei takata, maskine , havantepe and sublime porte. with their deep and dubby sound - unique as usual - they create a worthy conclusion. thumbs up - a indispensably record in your case!

here we have a double a-side 12-inch, with an intriguing new development of the secondo sound. still banging, still aimed at the club but with a sense of maturity and laid-backness, that the previous secondo material for dreck records might not have been centred around. the whole outlook has become more house orientated and we are very excited about this new mixture of the secondo splice-funk with the steadiness of early 90s house generating its own idiosyncratic sound. on the a-side, i think im gonna likeestablishes the housey mood of the 12straight off. a brief vocal sample is dotted over a relaxed rhythm until a break mid-track introduces the second half to its full extent and bloom. ædoktor panglosson the b-side continues with the mid-tempo flavour set out by the aside and is defined by a steady build up towards a disco sample beautifully placed towards the end of the track, where a heavy bass line cuts short the euphoria of disco strings. the sampling and references in both tracks have been pushed to the background and mentioning any of them would not do this exciting new material any justice. its all fresh!

first on decks.de!!! >blast corps< opens the ep with a surge of delayed baseline. crispy static rises from below and echoes swoop and simmer beneath the full blooded base. it builds insistently, the 4/4 structure is infused with far off blips and the dusty sizzles of lowpitched white noise. on dark star warm dub keeps the sound organic. it’s elemental, the baseline seems enormous enough to have a gravity of its very own and the other elements pull together around its weight. it teases, the breathy elements twitch, fidget, become fully formed but refuse to drop. frank martiniq refuses the obvious, and opts for the discerning. this is the stuff of intrigue, as is the percussive opening to b2 >lovelane<. here a rattling, clattering sequence breaks out into a euphoric, syncopated structure. its dark, playful and danceable techno.

vincent kwok, dj mfrs partner in the project new mondo, provides two reworks: the dark and deep dancefloor bliss of >do you remember<, featuring the spoken vocals of tony green, and head to the sky, featuring the emotive vocals of winston and a fantastic, dubby breakdown. charles webster re-tools come to me, featuring renowned vocalist indra jones, into a sublime, dreamy house music masterpiece. last, but hardly least, dj mfr reworks his own get on me, featuring the reappearance of indra jones. a classic house-style bassline and staccato keys will surely drive this version out of the speakers of club systems worldwide. transport recordings revisits dj mfrs acclaimed rome departure album with a series of exceptional deep and soulful house mixes.

its been a heady few months for d julzs bass culture imprint. the response and support from the dj world has been overwhelming, and this is of course down to the wonderful a&r skills of the label chief. now, with bass cultures 8th release, we are pleased to bring you the slit e.p. - greek producer, john dimas is well known for his live performances, as well as his djing skills in his town of thessaloniki & throughout europe. his sound spans the styles of techno, acid & more specifically – house music, which he performs in the club, across 3 turntables. stil quite new to the world of production, john dimas has his sights set high, having remixed the likes of fischerspooner – and now, he comes with his very first release on bass culture, adding his grecian flavour. the >slit e.p.< is a package that spans tech house, house & deep house… the original title track is dark, but rich & rides the groove nicely. the chez damier >late night mix< is exactly that – supple and full of just the right touch of deep quirkiness for late night sessions.

my music is my space - the last chapter. a really successful series will be closed, many artists we supported here - and they supported us! thanx to daniel stefanik, mike huckaby, chet, arne weinberg, naohito uchiyama and all the other friends with their brilliant sounds! but enjoy the 4th chapter - with tracks by shohei takata, maskine , havantepe and sublime porte. with their deep and dubby sound - unique as usual - they create a worthy conclusion. thumbs up - a indispensably record in your case!

its a bakers dozen for ray mangs ever reliable mangled imprint! despite being more than adept at mining out long lost classics & wielding the edit scissors, ray has asked us to make it clear that this ep, much like the last couple of mangled releases are original works (sure there are a few samples here and there, but hey!) what you can be sure of is that this mighty trio are super effective where it counts, thoroughly road-tested and very much in demand as with everything on mangled the revived label and rays recent smash on dfa, not to mention his accomplished dj sets, has pushed him back to the forefront of a scene he was instrumental in forming. having been behind a plethora of releases on cult uk nu-disco labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic etc etc over the years he has cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right as well a studio engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys, glimmers & many more.

#4 in the world power alliance produced by mad mike somewhere in japan. wpa releases usually feature an artist from another country, but this time mike did it himself, albeit in another country.

nice price deal !!! berlin based resopal label head mri returns with his second remix package of tracks off his album heroes. this second 12 comes with 4-to-the-floor tracks which will kick, but in a very smooth and warm way. ahmet sisman is the turkish/ german sensation who is already making international waves with his strong batch of releases, flagged by sven väth and mathias kaden as one to watch. ahmet has been on mri s radar for sometime. with a dense impact of heavy efx and speaker-rattling low-end bass, ahmet is the perfect match for mris track filthy lesson to remix too. the b side contains the original mix by mri and is simply modern house that will blow your mind.

a collection of rare and very sought-after underground british disco, funk and soul tracks avoiding the obvious hits that have been on a million cdÆs already. many of these tracks never went beyond a very small local release but have since become very collectable - buying this lot would set you back somewhere in the four figures.
back street brit funk is the latest compilation from dave lee aka joey negro released on the z records label. the double disc album features highly collectable tracks from the late 70s through to the mid-80s with sleeve notes from soul weekender veteran mark webster.

tiefenschoen as an lp is a complete whirlwind having a raw and dirty feel to it, albeit without losing focus on the original and well-known jean f. cochois sound. this is an extremely strong club album with a powerful recognition value – not only musically, but also visually thanks to its album cover. it stands out as it has an overall concept and, throughout it, a sense of continuity from beginning to end.

the first release from the tsr guys in several years here - and what a corker!four tracks here that display a great approach to the wronger side of the dancefloor - the main club filler being a1 >three men< but check out >is this ska-cid< for a novel take on longsy ds classic >this is ska< - pow !

after a short hiatus, misericord is back for 2010 with more off-kilter missives for back-room massive. first up is the welcome return of mr al usher. his >gnanfou< ep christened the label back in the summer of 2007 and was rapturously received / licensed all over the place. al has been quiet of late, busy being a dad and doing a proper job, but prins thomas put his out of the loop gem >lullaby for robert< out again in 2009 to much acclaim. this new release >hilversum< is very much its follow-up: al at his most unashamedly gorgeous, re-contextualising an old deutsche neue welle melody and weaving it into a characteristically intricate and beautiful piece of post-balearic loveliness. for the flip we commissioned a remix from one of europes most exciting new producers, barcelonas john talabot.

wow, this shit is hot!! original released on strictly rhythm us, rocks our floors since years…. two sided but we have only one word : monster , the mole people also known as armand van helden 2019 repress!

after having contributed a remix a few years ago, green are proud and excited to welcome deetron for what is his debut release with us.
whether its creating the deepest and most soulful of house, or the grandest of emotional techno. deetrons ability to craft exquisite, timeless pieces is second to none.
>deetron is not only a good friend, but also an amazing producer who keeps the detroit spirit alive in his music.< - joris voorn
on >collide< that detroit spirit is evident once more. a majestic track, thats power is held in its euphoric synth arpeggio, which builds constantly to its climax. >dark matter< on the flip is a bassheavy, almost steppin affair, with a darker atmosphere that is brightened temporarily by the lush pads in the break.
