a new beginning is always an euphoric and scary step towards the unknown. the euphoria comes right after the original idea, when first signs of feasibility are shown. then comes reality. i think that nobody is able to eradicate reality (or what a common society sees of it) out of his mind, though art allows us to escape temporally this fiction. its not an easy task to achieve and artists hold in their hands, intellects, souls and guts a great responsibility. terpsichór? will be a support that transfers this responsibility to others: the artists, the public, the crowd, the souls, the dancefloor

classic cut from the two old hands ! a level non zero release with the catalogue number 23 – who woudnt expect a conspirational track? and indeed: after legendary release >futher & further< (lnz05) the secret house society leaders pascal feos & heiko mso (klang elektronik / playhouse) once again met for a conspirational studio session to dominate the clubbing world with an extraordinary production. the result is named luv and sounds like the essence of the essence of minimal house music neatly stretched out to 11 minutes running time. cladestinely theyve implemented classical chicago jack elements in a modern lunar probe to irridate mother earth with an eternal stream of love. adequate gravitation-free the sound comes across as a gauze of warm bassy clouds, funky finger clicks, sustain violin strings and paradisiac luv female vocals. after a long ethereal break the track speeds up again smoothly and reveals a subtile glowing sound of the tb-303. luv is the perfect example of rarely produced tracks that give you the feeling of oustanding full-embracement

smoke city music are quick to follow on from the success of the still buzzin’ smoke city allstars with this new set of mixes from cubase dan & the hoodfellas. an understated and restrained grower with the most potent tool, a salsoul influenced filtered groover tucked away on the b side, this sussed sister label to hudd traxx keep it flowing for those who like diggin that bit deeper

well, the summer festival season is near its end, time to bring you some of the raw stompers that youve been dancing to this season! greg notill and i will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger: if there ever was a famous movie quote to capture the pure essence of the friendly frenchmans track it would be this line from pulp fiction. fierce beats, frantic percussion and even some acid influences. this one has it all! motormorfoses eto and gab, the devistating duo from brazil are now operating from spain and though the name may have changed, the output remains the same. pure relentless beats and power! after opening their track with an electro type bassline and some nice broken beats, pure havoc kicks in soon as the beat drops. hardtrax half of the hardtrax vs. jackhamma liveact and the german bridge between hardtechno and hardcore techno. the dark force recordings co owner comes up with an intriguing brew of raw beats, precise positioned percussion and an 80s type of choir sound that will simply blast you away!dj ogi the torch holder of the croatian techno scene recently spawned us with numerous strong releases on labels such as submissions and cannibal society. we are pleased to say he maintains this line and even raises the bar a little by incorporating some oldschool elements. bet you cant control your feet when you hear this track

one of the big club tunes from the new quantic lp, this smooth 4/4 latino cut spices things up by switching to a broken beat midway through. sabor appears here in original and bonus beats form. the heavy iinstrumental electric folklore on the flip is exclusive to this 12inch. plus politick society feat noelle scaggs (the rebirth).

side a brings the original sound of chicago acid sharply back into focus, subtly reusing the elements that made those records so special whilst bringing the sound up to date with modern production techniques and banging drums whilst maintaining the wigged out alien sounds of the time- for fans of everyone from todd n tadd to eddie fowlkes to sleep archive. the flip side brings a truly amazing track from rei loci again- playing with all manner of spaced out fx laden elements, and underpinned by the subtle interplay between machines- dreamlike, deep, intense and epic in all the right sense of those words this track sees rei moving into a more mature and complete phase in his production

methanabol strikes again with hard tech bad boy tomash gee (tool terror, compressed, hostage, artificial beats, cannibal society, around the world). two smoking aces you will probably find in the charts of players like sven wittekind, amok, boris s, arkus p, robert natus, hardtrax and obi

tomash gee (methadon, tool terror, fak, vendetta, cannibal society) is the man to call for a proper boom-basstic workout. the man has not let us down before and will surely not disappoint you now.

after several releases for toolterror, combat skills, cannibal society,... here is the debut from matt m maddox on sven wittekinds label inflicted. four outstanding hardtechno tracks!!!!

vendetta makes a few heads turn with a stunning new ep from the hands of one of the most fierce producers around. greg notill has previously released on labels like carnage, cannibal society and definition of mayhem. many of his tracks were also licensed to hard techno compilations like essential hardtechno 2.0, hardtechno vol. 3 and the recently appeared hannibal lp 01

igor tchkotoua and dan duncan are true workaholics. not only are the two mallorquinos forming one of the most exciting techno duos of our time and play in the most famous clubs worldwide, they always make it to pop up in the studio to work on their releases on sonic society, wig records or like in the case of >deliverance<, the new 12inch on cocoon. >deliverance< starts quite cautious but the track becomes more and more complex – pig & dan give the dj a tool that fits the minimal raver like a custom-made suit. the b side is again one of those tracks that put a smile on your face. in >sly detector<, atmospheric techno sound unites with energetic celebration pleasure, just as we know it from tracks like >after ibiza< or >on to the beat<. the rolling hookline which has the necessary splash of acid is, together with the floating trance layer, adrenalising to such extent that nothing else remains to be done but to raise your hands in the air. the track was already a hit with many djs in 2007, and will be one – chosen in the right moment – on many dancefloors in 2008, too

this time hertz is back with a funk fuelled energy bomb that balance in between an old school vibe ala 1998 and a fresh approach for 2008. expected support from a wide range of djs. on the filp you will find a track with a repetitive acid-sounding bassline but without the 303. this is rather a fresh synth that gets the tweeking. on the b2, you find a pierre j remix that takes care of the house-ier sounds

domestic violence is an offshoot of cannibal society, taking things to an even higher level. where many styles are subdue to trends and movement, the hard techno scene is still as alive and kicking as it ever was. domestic violence submits its listeners to a maximum level of warped sound. the sequel to the labels spin off by hardtrax features the major league of hardtech

three tracks pulled from john tejadas & arian levistes current live set. >lost in thought< will remind many of tejadas smash hit >end of it all<, with its strong drums, sweet melodies and positive emotions. on the flip >forbidden planet< is a mysterious detroit flavored track with dark chords and classic build ups. >half live< finishes off the ep with a bit more shuffle and more of the duos signature synth work

from the creators of cannibal society comes this new imprint aimed at underground, stonecold hardtechno! the first release is presented to you by hardtrax. a four track banger that kickstarts things with proper style and will be a welcome addition to the selection of leading hard-techno labels you already know!

electropunk four tracker, tracks about our decadent society and their celebrities

public service message: from the pale horizon of the calm world, here emerges critical tension. product of his society, henry the white collar goes through a crisis. today henry is nervous, negotiating the heave and shove between fear and his uncontrolable urges, and this is his music when he does. we, the producers, are his fantasy. does it hurt or is it good? can you make him relieve his debt? after two releases on sound of barclay, and a hit (sink) on yvan smagghes compilation (suck my deck) released on react, and the famous cover of lios amoureux solitaires featuring jennifer cardini on kill the dj, henry is back with a dodgy 10 inch no punk, no electro - this is wobble

back in stock.. finest harmonic minimal tech tunes by henrik schwarz

thom yorke is the pen, voice and soul of the rock group radiohead he has just released a solo album the eraser and that is where this story begins. abandoning his guitar get-along gang for the cold warmth of his computer and underhyping an album that should be plastering the walls and buses of your local city, the anxiety ridden and morose yorke cuts to the core of the dark state of humanity, unapologetically commenting on the zombies that were once humans. on this extremely limited 12,the album title track the eraser( already big with timmy regisford ) gets remixed in a distorted detroit style by slow to speak, following up on the recent bjork, u2 & arc gospel choir reworkings. on the flip is various acapellas of thom speaking on the current state of society and commerce and the radiohead song climbing up the walls, which in some strange dysfunctional way is married lyrically to the eraser. comes in a hand made silk screened jacket
