this is a record that lives up to its name with spacious and cinematic arrangements, layers of subtle percussion, and at times an impenetrable wall of found sound.

if you will permit me to get a little honors english on yall, classical scholar sir richard livingstone once stated that >our danger is not too few, but too many options ... to be puzzled by innumerable alternatives.< say what? well, take flo ridas predicament on new david guetta single where dem girls at: upon stepping into the club, so many fly females catch his eye simultaneously that he finds himself incapable of deciding where to begin. as hes struggling to resolve this deadlock over the veteran djs stark synths and four-on-the-floor percussion, an especially alluring specimen swoops in to make the decision for him - not only is she gonna kick it with him, but shell bring her equally fly friends along for the ride. playing the woman in question, young money heavy-hitter nicki minaj attacks the beat as only she can, dropping what may well be her most off-the-wall guest 16 since monster. so, readers, this dancefloor-scorcher + remixes on this vinyl will whet your appetite for more body-moving bangers, no doubt about that

the second release on johannes volks own label exploration. >energy field< is a powerful peak time bomb, growing with each passing second! the title track >across the emptiness< comes with a wall shaking sub-bass, stormy chords and a retro-futuristic sound design. on the b side we have >isolation<, a dub infected piece of music with complex organic textures. and finally >devoted to microgravity< with its heavy drums, toms and cowbells. vinyl only!

korablove is ready for his debut on apl. >splash forward< is not only a track but a new concept. at the beginning everything sounds like a classical deep, simple and muffled step, some chords. then something happens, something special. we all know how the structures are rigid, 4/4 that hardly can match with a breaking, the influences of a genre rather than a way of expressing, dressing, living. splash forward is a new way of seeing things, like if the wall of differences falls down suddently, like if years of clubbing and fight for a new space disappear into thin air. a deep track that transforms into a thriller.

bringing some twisted techno madness to the latest toolroom knights album series, umek provided an aural onslaught that left the listeners battered, bruised but begging for more.

part i? time track . mokiras time track is the deepest of dub music and electronic gear has seldom sounded this organic. rolling cords and bassline builds slowly towards the dub meltdown. on the b-side silent servant (sandwell district, historia y violencia) produces a rolling wall of sound. this is a high energy, metallic sounding dance piece ready to serve djs around the globe. to be played loud, not silent.

incl mike wall & holgi star remixes

double vinyl with 2 bonus tracks.

first on decks.de!! lesson in physics, wie der ausdruck schon sagt, hat der produzent und labelinhaber seine lektion gelöst. zurück mit energie in bestform kommt baby chris mit lesson in physics, wie gewohnt mit düsteren und tiefen klang.

berlin based ed davenport & oliver deutschmann are both established producers in their own right. with a similar interest in urgent, atmospheric moments for the dancefloor, their first collaboration emerges. a proud and powerful statement of the pairs passion for techno, >trump< runs over ten minutes, focusing on a central, ethereal theme that resonates above a rigid wall of percussion. ibadan records boss and internationally respected electronic music figurehead jerome sydenham lays his hands to >trump< in his dynamic, accurate remix that draws us deep into his mechanic-organic sound. nyc based brendon moeller crafts a bass heavy, urgent >appliance< that honours the groove of the original and morphs it pleasingly into more spaced out zones

aardvarck comes with >gloom<, an offshoot of his highly successful >bloom< imprint. >gloom< is the second split effort between aardvarck and dutch beatmaster kubus (opgezwolle, top notch). it features aardvarck on an oldschool techno vibe with deep and greasy beats plus his signature style breaks. on the flipside kubus delivers three insanely loud and bass heavy bangers. limited white label!

being one part of the dj team kassette boys, ferri borbás aka superlover is widely known as m_ferri. he was raised in berlin and after the wall came down he got musically influenced enormously by the then arising techno culture of the mid 1990ies. his early productions have always mirrored the influences of the rough, industrial and dark sounding techno sound which was brought to berlin by artist like jeff mills, laurent garnier or joey beltram. simple, radical sounding and functional: tracks like his >tanzgenerator< or >open the watergate< had shaped these asthetics into a trademark sound. his latest superlover project is slightly shifting his musical coordinates : instead of a reduced and purely funtional >m_ferri sound< his new project presents a rather emotional and energetic mix of warm sounding rhodes pianos and string synthesizers. the three tracks of the e.p. combine those sounds earworm-like to catchy melody riffs and being the metamorphosis of a new disco influenced, poppy superlover sound

nice price deal !!! second in the all-analogue cave paintings series where raw machine funk workouts are very much the order of the day. >2x< takes up where 1y left off and adds a sinister backwards-sweeping synth line to turn heads to jelly while the limbs carry on jacking to the syncopated percussion and insistent one-note bassline. >2y< is all but completely enveloped by a warm, deep, resonating bassline which is so wall-to-wall that it leaves plenty of room for the intricate, interlocking percussion to create a body-hypnotic groove. cave paintings - letting the machines decide.

two years after their great received >under the bridge ep< gowentgone are back with their third full release on vidab records. the >walk with us ep< is another deep statement of gowentgones passion for housemusic and techno. >strange light< runs over eight minutes focusing on a central rim-theme that is embedded in a wall of layers. >move of the day< is a dynamic and simple mover that draws us deep into a tooly and mechanic sound. the ep s last track, >burning flowers< ist the pairs interpretation of house that morphs pleasingly into a spaced chillout zone. enjoy this one.

real support and plays by: adam beyer, christian smith, pan-pot, joseph capriati, secret cinema, dave seman, slam, 2000 and one, mihalis safras, karotte, layo & bushwacka, carlo lio, misstress barbara, alan fitzpatrick, .. although dusty kid and his friend emmanuele marascia are based on the beautiful and quiet island sardinia they have recently put out a couple of raw and punchy techno anthems on imprints like b:pitch control, boxer and of course systematic. where dusty kid is temporarely leaving this path, impressively rediscovering the spirit of real rooted house rhythms, marascia walks the techno path much more consequently and delivers a compromiseless piece of techno tones which smashes your brain through a wall of stones! watch your speakers!

the hugely anticipated debut release from bakey ustl on this firecracker sub-label is finally in stock. >a tender places< is an off the wall, dance mania sampling stomper that really fucks with your head. think smith n hack meets moodymann multiplied by your wildest dreams. already getting praise from the more forward thinking house djs such ben ufo, jackmaster and joy orbison. this is one of the house records of the year and comes with that firecracker seal of quality, each copy is screen printed by hand and comes in a japanese plastic sleeve. limited as always, please don t sleep.

2010 has seen some juicy, off-the-wall techno/electronic vinyl goodies from the head space of little nobody, including the acclaimed >metropolis how?< and >robota< records - with remixes by the likes of james ruskin, justin berkovi, inigo kennedy, dj hi-shock, si begg, patrick pulsinger and steve stoll. but its the originator of the tracks who continues to push the perimeters, recently leading hi-shock, the prolific innovator behind the essential elektrax empire, to suggest that honestly, i think you are at least a couple of years ahead in your musical vision compared to other producers. little nobodys alter ego andrez bergen has also had his head buried this year in the creation of a hardboiled/noir/sci-fi novel called >tobacco-stained mountain goat<, and it was in the midst of this project - with these heady influences - that the get away from it all 12-inch project came to light. thus we got on board bas mooy (planet rhythm/audio assault) and dave tarrida (tresor/musick) to do the two scintillating re-takes here, which are downright brilliant. meanwhile little nobodys troll, on the flip-side, lives up to its claim: its hardboiled and devastatingly dirty electronica. all up, think streetwise, smack-your-glitch-up techno - dark, uber-bassy, dirty and pulsating - just the way we like it, with sardonic samples and a freestyle, postmodern attitude thats invigorating. matched up with the cool artwork by marcin markowski, this is an essential slab of wax for 4:00 am head-caving techno!

projections a.k.a. simon james and dan hastie have been getting busy in their la studio re-tweaking and redefining their future funk formula. the title track >southern girls< (a1) is a blinding distorted disco odyssey that comes off sounding like a righteous metro area remix of tom browns >funky for jamaica<! simon and dan keep the quality level at a premium on the b side selection >late nite< a slick, soul drenched electo boogie anthem that harks back to the classic 80s productions of artists like atlantic star or michael jackson circa >off the wall<. dynamic fender rhodes vibes, poppin percussion, and subsonic bass tones provide set the proper interplanetary funk agenda for new vocalists wades powerful falsetto soul stylings which are guaranteed to warm up any late night steppers set.

urgent, throbbing rhythms, which almost imperceptibly increase into a subtle wall of sound: the tracks on todd bodines new ep develop a hypnotic character, stolen away into a dark pulsating sound field which exactly match the title of the a-side: >dark matter<. the increasingly dense electric field mixes with sparse siren sounds that create their own unique attraction. the same qualities infuse >space and stop< on the b-side, with equally unexpected musical power surges. these are tracks that will drag the dance floor abruptly from its spell in the first few seconds, while simultaneously adding a very special drive and intensity. all in all, todd bodine proves again with his new ep - the first release after his highly successful album, >forms< – his unique sense of style, gained over almost ten years of production experience.

2001 double 12inch remixes!

yc‘s adultnapper has built a reputation for himself that not only commands respect for his highly evolved production skills, but also for his unique musical visions that steer him down his own unique path. not interested in following the current pop-trends, adultnapper turns in a freaky two tracker using a sharp, modular and timeless electronic sound palette. ‚almost nothing‘ is a complex and reduced spacer that features wonderfully processed drums and endless tweaked out studio trickery. haunting smatterings of melody, synth texture and paranoid-funky vocals drop in and out of the mix as this deep acidic groover charms you from the inside. poker flat regular patrick chardronnet provides a wicked remix that begins along the same reduced, textural tip as the original, yet builds into a breathtaking organ led harmonic climax. dramatic, uplifting and main-room friendly chardronnet‘s remix opens up the spectrum once again as audiomatique continues to surprise. ‚white fingers black hair‘ is the b side jam from adultnapper. a skipping, similarly complex and meandering groove is jacked up with some dirty hats and a playful synth theme that revolves around the track, amongst building strings and gated snares as its freaky climax is unveiled. super, off the wall stuff from nyc‘s chief mindwaper himself

drums have been discovered in almost every part of the world. drums first appeared, however, in excavation from the neolithic era. the oldest recorded drum is from 6000 bc. mesopotamian ruins contain small cylindrical drums that are as old as 3000 bc. egyptian tombs have yielded small drums used for ceremonies. several caves in peru contain wall markings depicting drums in various aspects of societal life. it is strongly suspected that indian drums from the middle east are as old as 5000 bc. the american indians used a series of wood and gourd drums for their celebrations and some of these drums are still used in ceremonies today. drums were not always used for music. in africa, where music is simply an interpretation of everyday life in sound, drums were used as speech. simply a pattern of beats played in a certain way could communicate vast amounts of information. jeff mills creates the drummer (pm-022). 6 track 12 vinyl ep. mills communicates through only a classic roland tr-808 drum machine, exclusively made for the purpose maker/axis. each track dedicated for the masters of the art form of drumming like: neil peart, billy cobham, buddy rich and others, mills explores how drum patterns and rhythms remain communicative on a higher level that has endured through evolution of humanity.

handsette recordings return with yet another essential release! having blown up in the clubs and been begged and begged to be released, we now feel its time to unleash the beast that is posthumans lander on the world. lander is a real monster of a track. stuttering rave stabs meet fresh, driving beats and a wall of bass. one of those tracks that make people go, wtf is this? in a club! currently being caned by major djs across the country and getting radio 1 and solid steel show play, this is a big, big track. on the flip, cursor miner takes the track and flips it left, right and upside down! dropping the tempo and changing the emphasis from a stabby rave monster to a bass driven crunky wobbler, it is a fresh take whilst losing none of the energy of the original.
