next up on eglo records after the hugely successful vacuum ep by floating points its the debut release of west londons stevie j aka funkineven 1956, featuring hackneys new queen of funk & soul, fatima on vocal duties. 1xtras benji b has already been going mad over it, and the track is slowly building a reputation at a number londons underground jams and warehouse parties. sonically it occupies a similar stratosphere to dam funk, sa ra, bugz in the atitic, dorian concept, joker etc, but with a west london twist and deeply crafted vocal melody.

with the introduction of derailed traxx black classics, the international hardcore scene has a new platform for re-releases of hardcore classics and remixes of hollands most promising producers of their favorite tracks. the first release of the new imprint puts all eyes back on the huge classic >go get busy< by dj weirdo & dj sim.
the original release on the massive pengo records was one of the most successful 12 inches, but very hard to find these days. >go get busy< has been put on the record in two different versions: the extended rave mix and the hardcore edit are digitally remastered, so they are now available in the best possible quality. but whats even more important about this re-release is the remix, brought to you by the genius of paul elstaks offensive records: accelarator.
accelarator is one of the key producers of the >godfather of hardcores< imprint. together, they form the very successful act the hitmen and had hits with tracks such as >we like it raw<, >fight for glory< and the devastating remix of j.d.a.s >voel je die bass<, which became one of the biggest hardcore hits in 2009. but also as a solo-artist, mick grundner proves to be an exceptional talent. together with various producers, he delivered productions for paul elstaks latest album and remixed several top-notch artists like kasparov, headbanger. now, he brings you his undeniable interpretation of >go get busy<. accelarator is considered to be one of the hottest artists for 2010 by many of his colleagues, approved by his fantastic remix of >go get busy<.

emphatic labelowner dj stay is no stranger to the scene with numerous releases on the big spanish labels and also on his own imprint. this is already the 6th release on emphatic and what a stormer! not only dj stay representing, but also the spanish technohero: david moleon. portugees superstar dj link (amigos) and aka carl all deliver the goods on this one!

>trippy monkeys< and >ringneck< are typical gurtz style dark, trippy, tracks with lots of bleeps, detuned voices and athmosferic fx, but yet with a energetic, strong grooves. >trippy monkeys< gets an additional remix treatments by marcin czubala and bruno pronsato. czubalas version is the most warm and funky one, probably most dancefloor friendly track off the ep, while pronsatos is the most experimental, in his trademark abstact, hypnotic and psychodelic style.

ed rush & nicos >defect< was originally released in 1996 on the no u turn label as the flipside to >mothership< andfeatured on the classic >torque< compilation album. no u turn not only influenced a generation of drum & bassproducers but the labels sound also resonated with techno producers around the world and that influence can still be heard today. now defect returns on perc trax with 2 new mixes to form a truly unique release. this is the 1st time no u turn has granted a license for a remix and the respect that both remixers have the label is clear from the mixes they have produced.

its a rainy dark night sitting in the studio and drinking champagne with the idea to produce a track just for play. but when we plaid it in the club the dancefloor was out of control...

brand new ep on qalomota records. we proud to present you a new producer. directly influenced by the dance culture party from club djoon. dj steaw dj/producer from the city of rennes (brittany, france), bring us this ep. a good piece of deep, soulful, cluby and arfo influence, just create to feed the housedancers and househeadz. you will able to recognize the old skool feeling like nervous records or nu groove and also feel the touch of the more recent procucers like ralf gum, culoe de song, marlon d, dennis ferrer... first but not the last ep on qalomota records for sure...

after the debut albums from future beat alliance and aardvarck, delsin strikes again with this very deep soulful ambient techno album by dimension 5. until now dimension 5 did have only released one 12, but one which was directly praised by fabrice lig, laurent garnier and others. his album alien artform holds both deep, ambient like techno to listen to (think: john beltran & detroit escalator company) as well as more dancefloor-aimed material, without losing the soft touch, (think: kenny larkin & aril brikha). this is (detroit) techno as it is meant to be: soulful & deep. should appeal to fans of aril brikha, d.e.s. and the dubbier german techno stuff. tip!

the viennese djs and producers smacs & patrick kong transformed their studio into a grow room. >no more experiments!< says smacs, when being interrogated about specific preparations for gigs outside of the austrian capital. their critics say: >on the long run the move towards self catering and regional consumer awareness will lower the production output of s&p<. the critics are full of shit though, because the opposite is happening. the recording booths new dedication >gives (you) wings< as a globally known austrian marketing slogan states. >growers< simply became their new single theme. of course dirt crew is around handling business when things get dirty in the techno scene. but instead of cleaning up, the two berliners mash the dope up with their favorite flavors and create special blend of its own, which will probably make it into this years finals of the legendary grand cup. indoor or outdoor, this tune will work!

sebo ks last release on mobilee, diva, was a hit, and one of mobilees most popular tracks in 2008. since then hes primarily stayed under the radar, popping up only momentarily to release a track on cecille in july of 2009. with his new release spirits, sebo returns not only to mobilee but also to the sonic tropes that propelled him to success in the first place. undulating melodics that stretch like rubber bands, a funky bass line, and a jacking house beat: within the first few seconds of hearing spirits one immediately recognizes the slew of sounds with which sebo k made his name. the track takes its time to build as well, riding the groove for a bit before bringing a singular, high pitched note into the picture. as it continually gains momentum and rises in intensity, the captivating sounds of a piano arrive, adding yet another layer of familiar and hypnotic melody. all the tracks components merge seamlessly, with percussive accents here and there until staccato strings make a dramatic entrance, fluttering and dialogue with the rest of the tracks components. by the end of the track, the piano has gotten back in the drivers seat, steering the track along it s course. the drum version builds off the vintage house sounds of the a-side but substitutes extensive percussion from max moya for the strings and piano

paul ritch covers the a-side with a faster paced house version encompassed in a rich background of high intensity and psychedelic notions while prompt spoils his listeners with a relaxing yet slightly trippy experience. last but not least henry saiz leaving the listener pleasantly lost in seven minutes of sheer techno heaven

there is a new name on cargo edition, but by no means an unknown one. as a dj markus schatz has been on the move for years now, all the while maintaining his roots in the berlin club scene. markus started producing in 2004 and both his solo eps and collaborations with tom clark on highgrade records and opossum recordings last year clearly demonstrate that his talents go far beyond the turntables. and now for his first ep on cargo edition, markus takes a step further into the musical spectrum. drippin is a nimble house track accented with a note of funk and the smooth vocals of sean andino, giving the track a slight pop-appeal. in contrast flippin gives us a beautifully reduced form of house all driven by a powerful rolling bass line, a textbook example of less is more. as a perfect ending restart surprises with its smooth house arrangements and sophisticated deepness. a truly versatile ep from a truly versatile producer.

bombstrikes returns with the next instalment in the highly acclaimed volume series. this time the party bombs are from two artists new to the label but who are no strangers to the funky breaks scene, badboe and prosper. the dane and frenchman have already established themselves as key players with a slew of floor rocking releases and dj shows…now they team up with the hottest label around and as you would expect the results do not disappoint!

music simply for the heart. outside it s getting cold but pinch n peedge bring us the warm midsummer nights back.soul and deepness direct from the middle of thuringia.

one of the most famous techno labels from the past relaunches again with fresh energynew creativity and style, but without loosing it s roots and love for techno music! eady to hit the floors again with an amazing release of one of the labelfounders eric sneo called mass appeal madness incl. kyle geiger remix.

smaul recordings should not be suggestive of being fed by productions of acid pauli, only. however, creative times need being used and martin gretschmann - aka console - member of the notwist - alias acid pauli has collected lots of material whilst the scarce time left last year. on smaul 07 he follows his self-weaved red thread of the year. acid pauli confides more & more in a certain house rhythm paired with these melancholic layered sound-synthesis, already well known by him. astonishing things emerge out of acid paulis musical waves, sometimes even scientially croon quite a bit. nymbiotic (a) comes relaxed but holds a great melody up in the sleeve - seasonly peppered. symbiotic (b) rests bit on minimal house, but acid pauli never relied on that genre. thus, this track does not remain as it seems after three minutes. glitches and sounds break it up to evolve a new symbiosis. symbiotic becomes more timeless in spite of siren-climax peaks and an obsessive string chorus fading in the end.

another blaster ep on the strong special series imprint. get ready for some serious funky techno bizzle from all your favourit artists. first up its man of the moment a.paul remixing ramons track turning it into a true floorburner. a.paul trademark bassline and the uplifting synths stay on top.. next up the french mat303 and josh love. josh just had his debut on patterns and its doing really well! this is samba bussiness for all the carnival people. big hit for rio!claudio opens the flip with his incredible sound. he is relatively known, but creates music like his been here for ages. mature techno for the masses.

past, present & future all wrapped into one... we are very happy to welcome the newest members to the citydeep family, and straight off there smash hit for sole channel records. dasoul, fabry diglio & m.a.d. boss brings a brand new jam that moves in between deep and soulful house with out a missing beat! moon in taurus kicks it off with a dark and dirty feel but before it has worked its magic you have moved through deep and soulful to take listener on a ride. play this one loud and watch the dancefloor come together as one!

absolutely superb debut release from paul bennett on the new modernista label. he shares his love for raw machine music as exemplified by mid to late eighties labels like trax, dj international, dance mania & hotmix5 across these four tracks of expertly constructed retro deep house, acid and emotive electronic disco timeless music, which totally redefined the clubbing soundtrack, revisited and rendered in glorious modern production technicolour homage, yes... but with enough noughties nouse to win over a whole new generation.

for the second cassius records and to carry on with the youth speed, trouble, cigarettes adventure we give you four remixes done by talented producers across europe from milano italy… reset! we met the three kids from reset! in magazinni generale while playing, their set was powerfull but also full of respect and influences from hip hop, soul and dance music in general, we finished our sets back to back and since this day love them their trouble mix could have been done by the jbs if they were still twenty something and into house music… it rocks and never stopsno use to present the music from radio slave, the big difference with a majority of other producers is that we both can recognise his tracks in a few bars only, also in the way it streches to crazy length and takes you in a trance that could have come directly from lagos in 1973 matt embrace the same philosophy we all cherish at cassius records the no boundarys way hes more than minimal, more than electro more than techno he stripped down ystc to the max and his remix played at the good time on a good system is a true chicagoan infused gem then after chaos

this is a long awaited release on theomatic from a russian-born (now czech-based) house-quartet d-pulse. this definitely should have happened before as all d-pulse members and theomatic’s commander andrei zakharov (an-2) are fellow-townsmen and have known each over many years. d-pulse are known for their expressive live performances (guitar, bass and keys), everything you hear they play live and their unique vibe can shake any audience, be it hip moscow cuties or shy hick-town chicks. the band’s hectic schedule has put this ep on hold for several months, but at last guys managed to organize themselves and lay final touches to the production. the a-side is a mellow, spaced-out disco jam called ‘prekrasna’ - the russian for ‘beautiful’, especially when referred to ladies. the dancefloor-aimed ‘moments’ on the flip side starts off with hypnotic, dubbed-out guitar and atmospheric synths laid over fat house beat. it gradually leads to the breakdown followed by guitar driven blast-off and takes you to the orbital heights from wherever you are.

> rollerskate< could be the most infectious song your going to hear this year. its far too easy to immediately get drawn in with the organic earthiness of aguayos musicianship. things get mixed up when diegors & the don move towards a more traditional cumbia tuned version and sanfuentes & alex thunders come up with a demented disco bass wobble. last but not least mexicos dark dancer rebolledo brings his signature beat(down) together with matiass mantra to new levels

we all know gunnar from countless kick ass parties in berlin. he has always been a reliable force as a dj, especially when playing together with fabiano. now he’s taken a turn at the tech house crossings towards upon you and had the right tracks on board to impress our head of a&r, marco resmann. he not only demonstrates his talents as a clever wordsmith but also his great musical taste with >cubicle< and >open you<, proving that everything that has been said about him is true.

all the way from new zealand to the urban landscapes of berlin, simon beeston is a man who likes diversity. this is not just evident in his choice of residence, but also in his musical output. following an ep on highgrade digital and a track on our various artists vol. vi record, simon now presents dusty back room, his first solo 12inch release on highgrade. the ep opens with the title track dusty back room, a track of strings and stabs, and a sound not exactly typical of previous highgrade releases. but when the music comes with such compelling energy and provocative atmosphere, were prepared to make an exception. new zealand meets berlin as we cast an eye over green landscapes and ocean swells, while the bumpy groove intoxicicates us with its magic spell. that simon beeston is a man of great contrast is clearly evident on the b-side with neon cringe and cymbolic. the percussive heat of the club brings us back from the organic landscape of his homeland and into the neon lights of the night. neon cringe resonates with a healthy dose of acid pump, while cymbolic provides a bass driven journey complete with cut up vocals and blistering cymbal rolls. this is a release that richly deserves its round number: highgrade number 70. especially with the addition of the bonus digital track tough luck, another highlight all of its own.

direct is stripped back, raw house tracks. bleepy yet with plenty of deepness, its refreshing to see a producer out there not following suit, but producing an individual sound. the direct remix comes in classic alvarado style, heavy tribal beats, dubby reverberations, trippy deepness, and dense and engaging production. his remix is already picking up support from the likes of dixon, rocky (x-press 2), paul woolford and jay tripwire.

detroit, 1993. the burden brothers, known for their octave one project and 430west record label, start a new sub label called direct beat. it was created to release the techno electro sounds of inner city detroit. in 1995 the label was in full effect and released music produced by friends such as tommy hamilton, keith tucker, mad mike banks, will web and them self.
now 15 years later we know that direct beat was one of the big influences on how electro and techno is today. together with underground resistance, axis, m-plant in detroit and some like minded people in europe and artists such as drexciya, aphex twin, autechre and dopplereffekt it changed the way people looked at techno... it broke away from the dominant 4/4 kick and brought back the funk and emotion that disappeared once house and techno became popular and mainstream music in the early 90s.
we are happy to bring back direct beat records by making some of its classics available for a new generation. this is a part of techno music history we may not forget about! especially in these days that people consume more and more of the format tracks. this shows that emotion, passion and energy creates much more then just a dj tool... it creates tracks that become part of peoples life! and not for just one or two months in your i-pod... but for the rest of your life in your record collection! timeless classic collection... must have!

skanked up and ready for the floor, this is a slice of what exploited is all about - fun but jacking club wares.

the first release on phonica white limited series is from tokyos iori. this young producers impressive work ranges from woozy ambient electronics to full-on club tracks. the common thread is a highly developed sense of texture and arrangement.a-side galaxy is simply lean, expertly crafted techno, led by a rolling bassline and crisp hi-hats, with hypnotic melody patterns skittering off the surface. its a trippy but accessible heads-down affair that has the depth and the bite to do damage at peak-time and in the after-hours alike. urge on the flipside is an even deeper, sub-heavy cut, an insistent, club-friendly groove swathed in burbling synth arpeggios and fx. despite being stripped-back, the sound design and sheer warmth of the production is incredible. the track really breathes.

the second installment in the split lp series is a dutch affair, but it has everything it needs and more to soon make name far abroad. each side of the record contains a complete work clocking in at about twenty minutes.
side a is >chime ep< by hydrus. the four tracks they contributed stand out because of their meticulous production and their wonderful sense of melody and emotion. this is music in the best electronic tradition, blending hiphop, idm, ambient, funk, drone and badass breaks. hydrus begins this twenty-minute journey with a funky bump and end it in a mess of nervous percussion, splintered to dust.
side b is an altogether positive and quirky piece of work by kettel. like most of his work of the last few years, >yellow baron< is exploding with beautiful melody. in six tracks kettel puts everything to work to make your head bop, to bring a smile to your face and a tear to the corner of your eye. classic stuff, without losing sense of experiment.

with smashing contributions by electro lord legowelt from dirty brown the hague and bleep addict garçon taupe from the bourgeois slums of amsterdam, narrominded presents the fourth installment in its renowned split lp series. both sides of this split lp comprise a whole ep in length, and the contributions have in common that they are both deeply rooted in electro music.
on garçon taupes wittenburg ep, eighties infected drum computer beats and heavy bass lines pave the way for some rather cheerful and unpretentious melodies. the five tracks were mixed to tape at rude 66s triple six lounge studio, and reveal influences from electronic pioneers like yellow magic orchestra and mantronix, to todays acid freaks like luke vibert and like a tim. the end result is a catchy mixture of electro and acid.
legowelt explores the darker corners of electronic music in four tracks leaning on eerie vocals and grungy electro beats. his land rovers in astrophysics ep takes us to mysterious environments. we are spacing out on the force of the stars, the universe, etc, and dancing to hypnotic drums on a mystical trip to pago pago west samoa. legowelt not only knows how to to satisfy a dance floor, but is also capable of deeply appealing to the listeners imagination.

we here at max trax are proud to introduce justin stride and his 3 babies chicago days, deeptrix and deftonez. wales born and bred, house music producer, justin stride may be a new name to many people, but if you spend some time you ll find that justin has been in the game for more than a minute and has an amazing list of credits to his name. please do your best to give them a proper listen and support them whenever possible.

larse returns with his 2nd single on conya. together with his homie fish they produced a hypnotic endless dancefloor journey. the b side is also hypnotic, but way more laidback. enjoy. already support by c rock, sasse, alf tumble, lars behrenroth, phil e, nacho marco, sebastian davidson, grant nelson, francesco farfa, jay west, halo, behrouz…,...

badmotorfinger got lost amid the blockbuster success of nevermind and ten (all were released around the same time). but the fact is that, though they re all great records, badmotorfinger is much less accessible by comparison. not that it isnt melodic, but it also sounds twisted and gnarled, full of dissonant riffing, impossible time signatures, howling textural solos, and weird, droning tonalities. its surprisingly cerebral and arty music for a band courting mainstream metal audiences, but it attacks with scientific precision. part of that is due to the presence of new bassist ben shepherd, who gives the band its thickest rhythmic foundation yet and, moreover, immediately shoulders the departed hiro yamamotos share of songwriting duties. but its apparent that the whole band has greatly expanded the scope of its ambitions. and badmotorfinger fulfills them, pulling all the different threads of the bands sound together into a mature, confident, well written record. this is heavy, challenging hard rock full of intellectual sensibility and complex band interplay.

support from the worlds finest djs and artists such as pier bucci, argenis brito, butane, maetrik, gregory shiff, ambivalent, and id, barem, and noah pred.
this four-track vinyl is an absolute must have for those who love to play a chugging, driving style of minimal and techno. produced by barcelonas pablo bolivar, >looking for a shape<, pushes the depth and groove that he is known for, but in a more aggressive yet subtle way. the original doesnt allow one to breath with constant changes in percussion and amazing flow. his >phase two< track will annihilate the speakers in clubs with deep bass and is a sharp, tightly wound percussive masterpiece.
the remixes offered are by monkey brothers, who take a very different turn with the track and offer a soft vocal and is perfect for the dance-floor as it delivers a strong pop for those later in the night moments. finally, the last track on the record is hidden recordings owner deepak sharma + dieter krauses interpretation of the original. they have created a more slowed down, druggy, groovier version of the original. its not quite as smooth as the original and thats a good thing as the extra glitch is great for those who need more punch in their sets. there is something in this release for all kinds of djs.

who would have thought it, techno djs playing filtered house... well, earlier this year it happened, and it was pittos >feelin< that caused the sensation. the original and superb dub, has gone on to become one of the biggest club releases of 2009.whispered rumour of a remix package has abound, and these were confirmed with early copies of a district one remix finding support amongst the dutch elite.well now its time to confirm the rumour, and not only bring you the district one remix, but bolster the package with a devastating remix from the master, joris voorn. edwin oosterwal and voorns rejected label keep on delivering the hits. long may it continue!

luke slaters mote evolver label is not pulling any punches. having shaken the techno scene to its boots last month with the release of ortin cams no-holes-barred >carnage<, the label moves on to their funky 13th release.
the name cari lekebusch is synonymous with what has made techno the musical powerhouse that it has become. globally recognized as a founding force behind the swedish techno movement alongside the triumvirate of adam beyer, jesper dahlbäck and joel mull, lekebuschs distinctive musical style and creative integrity has graced leading label from drumcode to soma to harthouse and turbo and spawned a career that has maintained over nearly two decades.
spindizzy is a deftly crafted funked-up tech house track. constructed from a palette of harmonically aligned keys, bass and horns, its intensity comes from the measured way in which each element is given the space to breath its own energy into the mix. pacey but musical, subtle yet memorable, this is a standout record.
luke slater adding his bass sodden l.b dub corp twist to the track completes the package. deeply dubbed-out tribal rhythms take the mix on a more left-of centre path that winds through a busy soundscape of atmospheric acoustics that seem to breathe in deeply before being exhaled in a release of firing percussion.

raidens label always comes with something different from the usual d&b formula rubbish. martsmans track is very impressive, with his refreshing future sound. on the other side its business as usual from raiden with help from khanage, its funky, and not as full on as normal, but again right at the cutting edge. martsman got into drum&bass around the end of the 90s. debuting on new york based offshore recordings in 2005, he released on smaller as well as established labels like alphacut records or counter intelligence in the following years. in 2008, tracks on warm communications and hospital records sub label med school attract the attention of a steadily growing audience also from outside the drum&bass scene.

the process of artistic creation is fundamentally determined by the environment of the artist. some cities and geographical locations are synonymous with the artistic techniques and crafts in which their populations became specialized. the muted and subtle sunsets of monets paintings are nothing else but a truthful interpretation of the actual nuances of a parisian twilight - along with a great dose of the artistic wizardry.
these cities and their artistic communities, are the legendary ones that remain in history. defending a fantastic track record in electronic music throughout recent times, rosario - the capital city of the santa fe province in argentina - is one of these places.
franco cinelli, nico purman, andres zacco and jorge savoretti are the leading figures who have, over the last decade, turned rosario into the great sound lab that it is. while developing their own sound and story individually, these boys never forget about their common origin, and the vibe that truly unites them together. on this occasion, they all come around remixing their young friend capes >le post< ep.
this record is pure mother of pearl. it is a tribute to rosario and its prolific actors.

supported by: laurent garnier, llorca, rocco, jimpster, manuel tur, nick holder, delano smith, keith worthy, matt flores, henry l, nacho marco, stephane attias and many more
changes. always changes. life is changing but not for troubled kids. the deepest music choice still on the top of the label. an now it is time again for the spanish matador jesus gonsev, one of the troubled kids crew. he gives another massive bomb for your ears. this is the 5th release of the label with three diferent tracks as usual in jesus productions. elegant, groovy and a special touch for the dancefloor so use with caution when you play it! you are warned!

endless flight proudly announce japanese super duo force of natures kza first solo release. this 12 inch is a second single cut from his debut solo album! kza have released 3 album and many singles + remixes as force of nature and they became one of the best artist in the nu disco scene. kza is one of the most popular djs in japan and well known as one of the biggest vinyl collectors. this time he teamed up with kuniyuki aka koss as a production partner and this single was made with many obscure old records. a side, >gothenergy< is his favorite style dark body music. the revenge is working for the remix! b side, both tracks are melancholic cosmic stuff but kza said >capricone< is best favorite track on the album.

the first of 2 planned 12inch samplers to come out from ytre rymden dansskolas debut album. bange anelser appears in a slightly longer edit done by yours truly and on the b-side youll get the remix from hotly tipped production team frisvold & lindbæk. it took us a few years to involve dear mr.lindbæk(rune)but it was worth the wait. trippy disko at its most…. eh… trippy? anyway, a dubby delight kahluha madness and u sving appear in original version from the album, both personal favourites which we just had to have on vinyl. thomas

kraken are rolling again, with their second release in as many weeks (check out krkn009), and its good to have the denmark based dons back! very little is known about a side artist and la resident jaybird, but im sure plenty of people will be on the hunt for info after this little number drops. absolutely relentless, crushing dubstep music, a refreshingly nasty little number reminiscent in atmosphere to one of krakens earliest releases eye of the demon by wolfman (jsl), this tune is currently tearing up clubs worldwide, with support from 2000f and notably featuring on hatcha & crazy ds kiss fm radio show, you re gunna love this one! legendary kraken artist jsl pops up on the flip with a brand new beat, kept relatively under wraps this one comes out of nowhere and smacks is straight round the chops like kimbo slice! act quickly on this one, it wont last.

you may not have heard so much from andre (aka &me) so far. instead of the flash and glitter associated with most of his producer colleagues, hes preferred to stay in the shadows, co-producing and ghost writing for artists like dj hell and terranova. now after putting out his first solo single on keinemusik, which was supported by all the key players (front room label boss jesse rose, luke solomon, gabriel ananda, danny tenaglia and dubfire plus many more) &me is finally ready to go public as they say. he may have taken some time to figure out his own style of blending techno and house music but now hes out theres really no escape. with a name like an attention deficit childs mantra its a wonder he stayed in so long. the on ep is an excursion into the type of techno dusted pulsating minimal house that has been so big for artists like luciano esse and arnaud le texier and which is heard on heavy rotation in berlin meccas like bar25. with a side on ever present digital squelches (reminiscent of a rolf harrris style wobble board) are laid over shakers, stripped-back beat and the familiar on vocal. its not hard to understand why tiefschwarz have been rinsing it for quite some time now as a huge afterhours groover. b side talking days, swimming in lush deep techno elements, weaves through more melodic territory but is no less infectious

>minimal is cool but in the long term a bit too unsexy!< this statement of marcel knopf that is by now quite old, shows his heart does not beat for one genre after all. after the first and more technoid single release from his album >dusty dance< monsieur knopf satisfies his longing for real house with single no.2 >crazy about<. r&b singer camaras soulful voice leaves quite an impression on this powerful beat. in >skinny bitches< marcel knopf processes insane nights: you just want to drink a beer in your favourite pub but then you meet a couple of friends and they take you to the worst disco in town. this high-energy track is uncompromising and must be played during peak time and not during warm-up sets or after-hours.

co-producer of the lastest tiefschwarzs bomb >trust< and full-time member of souvenir, philipp >sante< maier spent the summer with ali and basti on the road, every time warmly praised by the crowds of fabric in london, watergate and weekend in berlin or sonar festival in barcelona for his highly physical live-set. santé, together with adam port, rampa or &me is also part of a new school of producers from berlin, all fully dedicated to the delights of foot-stomping, straight- and four-to-the-dancefloors and already gathered under the standard of souvenir booking. so for this 22nd release on vinyl, ali and basti clinked for the third time glasses with sante, but this time, they chopped the magnum, and offered their round to rampa, re.you and david mayer

repress , back in stock !!!including anja schneider remix of >three weeks<. part 2 of his album released on three 12 inches. massive top dj support!
the choice of anja schneider for remix duties was an obvious one, the pair first met on a shuttle bus to an event and in short stead paul was co-writing for anja, becoming part of the driving force behind her huge debut album ‘beyond the valley’, now she pulls out all the stops to reciprocate with this standout reworking.
first up on the package is the anja schneider remix of ‘three weeks’, the opening cut from paul’s recent album. here the pair, deconstruct the parts and rebuild things into a deep and hypnotic version that has instant dancefloor appeal stamped all over it. solid, chunky drums rub up against simple spacey synth lines and warm pads to huge effect. bearing in mind the superb quality of the original this is a job well done, and a real addition to this great package.
next we have the original of ‘three weeks’, a track named after the extensive time it took to record. paul had originally intended to record the album in 6-8 weeks, then ended up spending nearly half of his allocated time on this opener. but it has to be said it was worth the effort. this is a slice of solid tech inspired house with subtle vocal elements and a musicality that cuts through the records club based nature. excellent stuff.
finally we have diamant flute, another winner from the ‘me, myself and live’ album. deep and highly engaging this again displays paul outstanding talents as a producer, weaving melodic elements deep into the mix and retaining an incredible underground electronic sound.

supported by monika kruse, adam beyer, jakob hilden, dave seaman, laurent garnier, kiko, john digweed, nic fanciulli, barem, chris liebing, danny tenaglia. yes, the world can be a cocktail and kaiserdisco are surfing on a wave of success following their track espandrillo. espandrillo made it into the richie hawtin us bus tour 2009 chart and has been re-entering charts worldwide for numerous times since. we think that with amalfino kaiserdisco will be hitting the top 10 charts of many dj s again. amalfino is a strong driving percussive track that builds on child vocals, creating a bit of a fairy-light atmosphere within a massive production. bailetteo is a track that can be understood a bit as a continuation of amalfino working with similar vocals but has less of a peak time formula. with >carachillo< kaiserdisco have added a cool and deep, housy track with indian vocals and samples, which could be cool for the house community.
