the munich resident florian senfter aka zombie nation or john starlight is well-known as the creator of tracks like kernkraft 400, souls at zero, space marines and last not least blood angels, which can also be found on the sound of the third season, and is thus a reliable choice for sweaty, energetic eruptions up to the fringe of demolition. this doesnt change significantly on road rage, which was originally released by ukw in a limited number of copies and is now the first sign of life from senfters studio, after three years of abstinence. with timehonoured plus 8 references and acid elements, the original recollects an almost gone quality of techno: to blow away your skullcap with the unashamed joy of telling stories, many breaks, some funky dirtyness and experimental noise playfulness. exclusively made for cocoon was the remix by parisian turbo producer popof who gives the track an even more intense gross-grained feeling. one does not have to be a prophet at all to tell that both versions are facing a great future in club autumn 2008 and beyond

support by djinxx, jichael mackson, tobias becker, pelle buys, rulers of the deep, dave mothersole, laurent garnier, leandro gamez, james talk… gedankensport signed a new amazing artist for you. with his sense for minimal techno and house arrangements he bursts every brain, because he will start the real sport of thoughts in your mind. christopher rau, who came in contact with electronic dance music in 2004, produced three poetic minimal housetracks reduced to some kind of essential form of electronic music. a: gribuntal: this track is pure minimalism. based on this monotone organ chord that seems to make you insane during the nearly eleven minutes, there is kind of tropical feeling, too. the easy tribal percussions put this track in warm, windy and relaxed beach surrounding, nobody wants to leave..

this has to be one of the the biggest records of the last few months & now gets a fresh package of remixes and full release from mighty vendetta records. alongside the original we have frances finest fred falke of stardust fame & azulis guy j who takes us on a deep techy journey!!

after his title >beats in the mist<, on the first part of the double publishing religio.audio005, there is now the full variety by mr. ferlin hearable on the religio.audio009! according to the motto of the record, >monday morning sights< presents three easy techno-like and charming original tracks plus one precise muscle relaxing remix by hammerschmidt & lentz. of course, in spite of the name of the title, this record works even at other days/nights of the week. with a light taste of mediterranean and a special musical liveliness the sardinian, living in berlin, opens the indoor club season. this is for everybody, who likes to get dumplings with vanilla sauce on monday morning!

kindisch is now eighteen releases old, and its mission - to uncover new talent, and to provide a platform for producers to evolve and experiment - is more passionate than ever. this time, the reins are handed to sascha braemer, aka hirtenfellner, and philip bader, who build on the promise of their releases on sup dub and get physical. >mamba drums< is, as its name suggests, a percussive, latin-tinged affair, with sweeping builds and heavy drops, layer upon layer of locomotive percussion and a skeletal four-note vamp designed to whip the listener into a state of frenzy (and sure to be successful in this aim!). a male vocal sample pervades on >thrill<, this time more gruff, more laconic, and edited so that the words become another percussive element rather than carriers of meaning. deep whirlpools of delay open up below a surface drift of jazz-tinged chords, from a minimalist sound palette bader and braemer paint a vastly evocative, effusive picture that will transport the listener, or dancefloor, to a strange and addictive place. >put your arms around me<, implores the soul-infused vocal sample on b >around<, over a yawning vista of synth chords bridged with sibiliant snares and subtle but earth-moving edits that leave no doubt as to braemer and baders mastery of dancefloor dynamics.

really dope release, this guy has a unique style of his own! on deep breath he shapes up the perfect banging techno tune for peak time play! get down is a dirty and raw cyber-techno-funk nugget to please all those who like their grooves fat and nasty! gladiator is a fantastic minimal work-out in the same vein as fortek colleague stefan tretau. subliminal deep and well balanced. schnutenzieher is a wicked techno tune in the same vein as some of the dj koze stuff.

a decade usually consists of ten pieces, years or days. the decade of techno comprises of 10 releases made by 9 carefully selected producers who shaped the last ten years of techno with their unique sounds. looking back at the last 10 years, techno made a thoroughly multifaceted development. new styles developed out of the old ones, never losing sight of the main principle. this development will be reflected on the decade of techno series, whereas label owner kaoz attached importance to account for every facet of techno.

americas next generation of techno producers make their droid debut on this release. dustin zahn who has reincarnated himself from the stone cold sounds of labels such as compound to the powerful yet refined style of his current releases on drumcode and mindshake turns in one hell of a dark builder. analog god starts off with a sharp rimshot / snare combination then adds just the right amount of tresor style synth menace for a viciously addictive groove that doesnt stop kicking.

from its hallmark opening bassline, to the synth heavy powerchords of the whistle along chorus, theres no straying from the fact that metronomys future single heartbreaker is catchy as hell. its an electronic ode to male heartbreak that ll both cut you to the quick and have you dancing all the way to the therapists chair. sonically, heartbreaker is perhaps metronomys most precise, radio friendly, and sure fire hit single to date. it best represents the straight forward genius of a band who ve been sitting on sizeable chunk of pioneering electronic ideas since mount first began recording under the bands moniker in 2005. they ve maintained a wholly modest approach to stardom whilst amassing an army of strangely obsessive fans. with a full package of club floor fillers and luxurious disco mixes, heartbreaker is the most zeitgeist capturing record of the moment, a must have for pop lovers, dance lovers, indie kids and the discerning music consumer.

without a doubt, chicago native huge hephner has garnered quite the reputation as an international playboy - pimpin and whorin his way into the electronic music worlds stream of consciousness. however, behind the tough guy persona is a highly underrated producer with an unbridled passion for music and love of the analog gear he uses to produce such increasingly in-demand sounds. it is this perversion that lends meaning to the title of his debut album, nymphotech, released on none other than the label that helped launch his career, siteholder records. unflinching in its house vibe, yet relentless in its dance floor attack, nymphotech is a highly impressive debut album by a producer who continues to up his game with each successive release. hephner kicks off part one of a two-part vinyl album sampler with the chugging acid burner sharing the same title as the album. nothing less than 4 a.m. packed club material, to play nympotech at any other time would be a failure to recognize this bombs full potential. jack n coke is undoubtedly huges nod to his hometowns house legacy, showcasing a flirtatious bass line that screams funk in all caps. wheres the acid? fans of hephner might ask. leave that up to freaky $ean da don, featuring the vocal debut of huges body guard and reputed hitman who bears the same name as the tracks title. if nymphotech is any indication of whats to come from mr. hephner, we can only hope huge will manage to stay out of jail long enough to produce a follow-up

with the sweet voiced jw on vocals. on the remix duties, brighton wonder boys prok & fitch, who deliver a great peak-time mix

while for many of his contemporaries repetition became a new standard rather than innovation, jacek sienkiewicz with every release seems to be broading his musical horizons and challenging new territories. beacon seems to be even more organic than previous recognition releases, and the warm, yet unstoppable beat workout suddenly goes all jazzy and cinematic, with irresistible saxophone hook. big surprise here, but jacek blends the sounds into one of his trademark, 12+ minutes long, massive club anthem. another surprise is brought by the flipside - this remix is courtesy of the man of the moment michel bauman, here applying his soulphiction alter ego to dark, smoky and very tropical variation on a familiar theme. all over, another very impressive release from jacek sienkiewicz, man who never fails to impress.

our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his superb debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year. the twelve pieces of minimal detroit sounds you are about to hear, were sent to us as one package. we were blown away and there was nothing else to do but surrender to its quality and sign them all. now join us…

neues label aus griechenland, mit axel karakasis, dj mika und vortechtral sind die richtlinien klar vorgegeben! innervate records is started at the begining of 2008. label is the brainchild of bosnian techno master dj mika who is allready known to alot of techno fans around the world. he did some storming releases on labels such as mastertraxx, planet rhythm, pirate audio, definition, submissions, yin yang etc. idea of the label is to keep pure techno growing as it deserved in all his forms. label will mainly work with known names in todays techno scene, but it will be also the tool for promoting upcoming producers who deserves to be promoted

rhodes accents and analog synth melodies, while a vocal chorus ups the soul ante during the marching strut of who am i, a beautiful example of timeless house music if there ever was one. in futuristic funk, a looped voice incessantly repeats too late now, thereby adding a touch of delirium to the tunes stomping swing, after which the vocal line expands into the chanted pray for brighter days / too late now / lose myself in the future / too late now. warmed by old-school synth flourishes, congas, and rhodes melodies, millers rich and seductive club music makes surrender the only possible proposition and a release so rarely deep and musical, which is therefore not to be missed.

glaswegian alex smoke aka mr. menzies, the man who helped kick start vakant in those blissfully uncorrupted early days, returns with a fresh no-frills attack since his last hanged man ep, va013, 1and half years ago. a sides whirrfless funky abrasiveness stomps heads in a way alter ego would if they were happier people and saw more sun. b1 fud paces along with sprightly spring in its step half cheeky, half roboadventure reminiscent of the early days of perlon. b2s onomatopoetic flingclunk zealously jacks for itself. it is all glory minus the glam and trans-fats. smoke, adding to the current relentless vakant onslaught, makes every reveler feel as limber as 14 year old russian gymnast

we are pleased to welcome dubnoodles whose previous releases on milnor modern and rundlauf musik certainly grabbed our attention. on this ocassion, dubnoodles shows two different sides of his music: the a side is funky as hell. both tracks show highly elaborated grooves with a very pleasant shuffly jazz feel. a must for adepts of frank martiniq, akufen, treplec.., and for those who enjoy playful forward thinking grooves. the b side really gives us the shivering. it unravels extremely emotional melodies, powerful strings and intense crescendos. fans of dial and neo detroit will appreciate. all three tracks are a real blessing. as usual, we tried to pack as much amazing music as possible in this release. enjoy!

lcd soundsystem returns with a song written for the soundtrack to the sony pictures film 21. james murphy’s concept of what a big rock song made for a movie could sound like more than a balls-out big rock song, the track delivers in unexpected ways, from the edgy opening two minutes that alone could serve as the score to a car chase, to the sudden explosion of choirs, blissful harmonies, and larger-than-life chorus. babytalk, who has created quite a buzz with two top-notch releases and is currently the toast of underground dance music and disco heads, remixes the track into something seemingly slower and definitely more sinister

finest electronic beats mixed with deep male vocals in englisch + german language, telling a story of a silent and relaxing day in the pure nature. the lyrics are made very clear and simple and people will be able to feel this track for sure. in the middle of the track after the break, the track is having his peak time and it gives us the creeps. on board is a incredible kaiser souzai & nudisco remix which does fit better for the harder djs who play techhouse. playlist already: david penn, bad boy bill, victor simonelli, gabi newman, sandy rivera, disco boys, grant nelson
