das nächtliche gemunkel am tresen bei bier und klaren war irritierend gewesen: aufs neue album, so drummer zimmermann und basser strohmeier, würde das lo fat orchestra auch kinderchöre und ein streichquartett packen. man dachte mit grauen an the wall, konzeptalben-bombast, artrockkacke und hoffte halb, das sei nur der berüchtigte schwarzwälder humor. jetzt ist the second word is love da. nicht mit kinder- aber mit chören und natürlich mit streichquartett. die befürchtungen zerbröseln im nu, wenn im opener be honest die bassdrum nagelt, die elektrizität in der luft rauscht und singt, bevor der sägezahnbass und schmids gesang und orgel einsetzen. alles gut! alles besser! alles: mehr!

from universal rejection, the northern cell of resistance that gave us last years acid bomb >le coq< by arab league, comes disappearer.
operating from the suburbs outside of stockholm, disappearer has not entered the techno game to find out how its gonna be played. on >now you see me, now you dont< he dictates right away. with its deadly linear pulse and rising and falling oscillators, >now you see me, now you dont< is a steady-handed techno shocktreatment of the nervous system, exemplifying how it should be done in 2012.

the sun goddess ep has been a close guarded secret around don?t be afraid operations central for a little while now. mr. beatnick?s second outing for the label proudly carries the torch of last year?s breakthrough ep synthetes, one of fact magazine?s top 50 records of 2011.

francesco grant has become an institution of the finest techno/house tracks on afu and way beyond and returns with his fourth release and three brand new tunes.
>dont scream< is a prime time piece that delivers with its cool funky rhythm bed and the cut up samples that became so much of francescos trademark.

jesse perez is the new kid on the hot creations block and he launches straight into the fire with a double hitter of old school nostalgia and heavy hip house grooves, >jesse dont sport no jerri curl<

rob mello was an easy choice for the remix as we have been long time friends and fans of his. he took the track apart and gave us his unique no ears approach to the remix, a twisted deep afterhours biz. we hope you enjoy the release.

techno legends broom & mac with slamming prime time techno

repress 2015

ultraschall is an homage to the first big techno club in munich. the owners of harry klein were part of the old ultraschall, which has a unique legendary status nowa¬days. the older generation in particular often long for the good old days. yes those times shouldnt be forgotten, especially not in terms of sound, but its also important to move on and attempt new things. like supporting vinyl, going to a who¬lefood shop or ending war. ok that might sound like a bro¬ken record, but how about spending less time on facebook and actually with your friends, cooking for your parents or organizing a break dance battle in your backyard? daniel takes us on a journey through the past and back to the future again. a charming mixture of laid-back grooves combined with some rough n ready rave moments make this a rapturous trip, no matter what time it is. track names are a really interesting element of music. some artists dont care about them at all and call their tracks a1 or something non-descript. yet many titles can be really funny, others made up words, and some corre¬spond to current events or times. some just really fit the sound. if you lose something, in general its a pretty nasty and unsettling feeling. but you have to deal with bad luck when it strikes. losing something can teach you an im¬portant lesson, or simply show you what it means to be unfortunate and down. not knowing the lows as well as the highs wont allow you to evaluate life very well. most important is to really feel and be yourself, despite the ups and downs.

>dont let go< sees master producer serum join forces with the north once more for a track of such intense and genuine mid 90s jungle flavours that you may struggle to remember the last decade even happened. this nostalgic banger is run through with the straight up ragga core of dee bo generals refined toasting, famed for his genre defining vocals on urban shakedowns legendary 95 track >arsonist<.

the tremendous dessert island discs label is going from strength to strength. the latest release features three new late nite tuff guy tracks with a greg wilson retouch of one nite in a disco from the well received did007 thrown in for good measure! too good to miss!!

the success of >twist< released with yuksek aka peter in peter and the magician, which was heard in the playlists of some of the best djs around the world, has contributed to increase the magician reputation among djs and electro lovers…
the only thing we could hear from him until then were his magic tapes, available on soundcloud with no tracklisting so as to keep the mystery around them… there again, the concept has created so much excitement among music aficionados that the magician has already released thirteen of them!
>i dont know what to do< is a pure dance jewel enlightened by jeppes voice! as for the club mix and the remixes by fabian and plastic plates, they are definitely more electronic and punchy and will be all perfect for the club times!

pizza is the 6th release on dont be afraid, coming hot on the heels of mr. beatnicks synthetes ep and semteks west acyd shelter. the first track on the 12 inch, pizza, combines disco, techno and acid house elements on a broken funky base. goons is a mean little track with caper-like 303s and a bumping trumpet bassline, backed by sweet drum machine beats. dj 3000 takes the fundamentals of the original and replaces them with some of his own locally sourced detroit ingredients, including a euphoric rhodes and some rich pads, to create a peak time banger for fans of dirty bird and the like.

returning to the kitchen after an over extended jaunt in the bathroom, the sound diggers grant us with another slap happy handful of flavor with their new piece entitled >dont flap just jack<. here at flapjack we do encourage everyone to wash their hands before returning from the bathroom to the decks. with the nasty low down n dirty grooves that are all over this ep, i am not so sure the sound diggers washed up very well, or at all. as we say in the business, when you get dirt in your salad, eh, its just a lil flava.

>i dont know< was one of osunlades 1st ever releases. now stripped down for 2006 and reconstructed with new mixes. superb nu soul / deep house track that is a taster for the yoruba album forthcoming later in the year.

with the worldwide success of the massive evolution album tc returns with his own imprint ‘don’t play’ ‘concrete’ could only be described as 140 set switch up with extensive support from club and radio from benga, skreem, mr jam on radio1 and 1xtra and many more.moveing in a slightly different direction ‘burning starlight’ is a drum and bass tempo 173 left of centre track with dance hall style vocals from the well respected mc dread with support from mr jam on radio 1 xtra and club djs such as netsky. mr jam “2 essential releases that deserve to be in the collection of every self respecting bass music head” “if these are don’t plays statement of intent, i feel sorry for any other labels!”

eine e-gitarre, ein bass, eine alte rhythmusmaschine, ein moog und am wichtigsten die prägnante stimme von sherry leblanc. all das zusammen kombiniert macht den minimal-pop sound von love inks aus. blackeye macht appetit auf das album.

decks tipp track 4 ... this coloured edition with spezial coverartwork is a ltd repress... the ep proposes an interesting track-list from deep ambient to rolling housy dark groove with the single don t change (original mix) ..where the fresh vocal line leads to a magic journey on the 44 beat bringing the vibe from the underground club-movement in istanbul (tk) one of the most intersting cities in europe at the moment. this time remixed by hugo (mobilee, trapez, 2020 vision) and mussen,emerging label manager and producer from milan supported by: deepchild, hugo, dapayk, someone else, minicoolboyz, mussen...

mr beatnick has played an active part in the burgeoning uk beats scene which has produced talents like bullion and paul white. his best known track >i know all the bitches< featuring the vocal talents of ahu, became one of the anthems of this movement, thanks to numerous spins on the likes of bbc radio 1 and rinse fm. in his music you can hear the influence of whole generations of music from mantronix to the 90s bay area scene and beyond, and the new ep >synthetes< takes this approach up a gear, exploring a path between the crackling breaks and samples of old, and the dancefloor music of now. with early support from braiden (rinse fm), slackkk (numbers), bullion (young turks), mosca (nightslugs / fat city) and gilles peterson (bbc radio 1), the >synthetes ep< looks set to find a unique place in the record boxes of bass addicts and beat diggers alike this summer.

us house classic, ltd stock , be fast

nice price deal !!! following on from her acclaimed debut last year on jansen jardin, yuki suzuki and producer, max essa, return with another slab of far east magic entitled >we don?t have much time<. combining yukis sultry vocal with a very muscular, bass heavy groove, the track comes across like some pitched down (way down!) early 90s nyc garage classic. big, rolling drums push the track along while some glorious strings and piano make sure, as usual, jansen jardin have something for your mind, your body and your soul. on the flipside neville watson delivers one of his finest productions to date. pushing the tempo up and dubbing things out he provides a brilliant reworking which is already causing a fuss from tokyo to berlin. moody, emotional dance music for late nights and early mornings. one limited pressing - as before - first come, first served

summer anthem! this is anthony collins fourth release on curle already. the surprise on this release is without a doubt the 9+ remix from roman flügel (robert johnson, playhouse, dial)

to say that matias aguayo lives in the moment would be an understatement. he thrives in the moment. one of today s most productive musicians in dance music he continues find new challenges – whether it be curating music events (most recently finding lost music and new acts from the sonoma desert of mexico for an upcoming hkw berlin series), overseeing the tremendous cómeme label imprint, and most recently joining warps favourite new york band battles as a vocalist for the lead single >ice cream<. he returns to kompakt with his first new recordings for the label since 2009s acclaimed full length >ay ay ay< – an accomplishment of its own right thanks to the fact that it was created almost entirely with samples of his voice. matias aguayo takes it back to the dance floor with what potentially could be his first obvious foray into the world of house music.

the too-cool-for-old-school house cut dont stop is the love child of the first the subs vs highbloo musical encounter, when highbloo was not part of the band yet. dont stop!

superb deep house from baker street with mixes from yousef & paolo mojo
