spectrum recordings returns after the summer months with a fantastic deep dark two tracker to take us into those shorter nights of the year from italian duo ascion & davide carbone. the a side >shaved< is a stripped down dubby groover, with eerie vocal stabs and spacey edits. this has a seriously tripped out vibe, which is perfect for the after hours, but still with more then enough punch to work at peak time, with some layered percussion or effects. the flip side >spectral town< is a minimal funky track, superbly produced and once again perfect for the after hours. a very cool and classy record from a label stamping its mark on the scene, and still only in its first year of releasing music. look out for future releases from ramon tapia, gui boratto and alan fitzpatrick. big things to come!

the third release on phonica records is a no-nonsense dancefloor burner from matt tolfrey and d. ramirez, with a stunning remix from lauhaus. >bounce to me< is an exquisitely stripped-back jack track, propelled along by clipped vocal samples, deep chord stabs and funked-up percussion - as the title suggests, its all about the bounce. thats really all you need to know: this piece of music has been built for the sole purpose of dancefloor devastation and will do the job every time. matt tolfrey is the boss of leftroom recordings and one of the uks most compelling young dj/producers, with releases on crosstown rebels and viva music among others. d. ramirez is of course the sheffield-based producer behind numerous hit tracks for labels like four:twenty and his own slave recordings. the flipside remix comes from underground hero lauhaus, a dutch producer whos made quite a name for himself with his muscular productions for labels like remote area and intacto. here he toughens and tightens tolfrey and ramirezs original >bounce to me< into a rolling techno groove, adding real drama and forward thrust with crisp hi-hats and stacatto percussion. the soundtrack to late summer has arrived. bounce!

as the european summer draws to a close, the next rekluse release takes a brief change in direction and offers up something a little lighter to accompany the last of the hazy rays. after the previous electronic madness from simon stokes, mr copy, loco & jam and kiko we are joined for this release by la based artist erphun.
erphun has had a pretty hectic summer himself, appearing on steve lawler s viva , dave seaman s audio therapy , oliver huntemann s ideal audio and stephen bodzin s hertzblut . not a bad run at all. with previous releases and remixes on mutekki , saw recordings , excentric muzik and forthcoming releases on bedrock (+ john digweed s new comp) as well as 8 sided dice , this guy has had a busy couple of years...
to complete the package mr henry von (joint label owner of rekluse with fergie) has reworked tu sueno, giving it some of his trademark bite and re-marrying the vocal to the breakdown, keeping things shaking until there is no where left to go but to bring that beat straight back in...

demas is a producer from middle germany. he produces his own tracks since 2004 and had digital releases and remixes on klangscheiben-records and leporelo. his style is very groovy and its between minimalhouse and minimaltechno, we think. >bohnenherbert ep< as vinyl is a limited edition of 300 pieces. so be fast to get your copy! this is also the first remix-release at klangscheiben-records. we ordered some artists, who are known from previous releases. but we ordered also very well known faces to our label. these artists are milos (telegraph recordings, leporelo), phööptärt (9volt) and sebastian albrecht (klangscheiben). we are very pleased to welcome these artists on our label.

one year after their >serenity< 12 inch including a soundstream remix, it is high time for some new material by cologne-berlin based duo prosumer & murat tepeli. >u & i< is the result of an extensive jam at prosumers studio. this is a trend resistent deephouse song it brimming with their unmistakable signature sound. it has sounds of dancing horses, an adorable old school and a bassline lary heard would be proud of. once again, prosumer shares vocal duties with elif biçer both telling touching stories about night clubbing and human relations. >the jam< on the flip side is - quite apparently - exactly that - a jam. it is based on the recordings for >u & i<, but also caterss for a more upbeat dancefloor. it is the more techno oriented, instrumental side of the same coin and prosumer & murat tepelis most energetic effort to date

autodiscotheque return with a mighty release by one of their favourite maverick producers and djs danny berman. with releases on tirk, untracked, deep freeze and society, danny has made a big impression with his mixed up approach to production and djing. from the wonky house of the hot coins material released on tirk, to the more classically detroit outings under his red rackem moniker, danny is a music lover with an ear for the not so obvious and the left of centre musical territory.on this release which features both his musical personas simultaneously, the idea was to truly represent the difference between the red rackem and hot coins sounds on a single release, and to recreate an intense peak time feeling, but to do it from these two completely different scenes.place for me is detroit inspired heads down, cut up motown soul business, which pays homage to one of dannys favourite producers moodymann, and fits perfectly into that crossover space between slo-mo house and disco. chinese electro on the flip however, references that authentic early 80s new wave electro sound, and is influenced by yellow magic orchestra and recordings from new wave radio shows like belgiums liaison dangereuses

for sure dfr001 is a bomb plus it s hammered by dubfire, the advent, joseph capriati, joey beltram, technasia, markantonio, dj murphy, robert natus, ken ishii....
the first release features nobody else than the nice guy and techno-preacher eric sneo (masters of disaster / beatdisaster) from frankfurt, germany. after a lot of smashers on well known labels like kombination research, clr, patterns and abstract, eric is now back on driving forces recordings with a massive 2 tracker. on the a side you can find a mainstyle braincracking track called vintage force which will drive the crowd totally crazy. with a rolling beat, the sneo typical driving percussion and a wicked leading sound, this one will heat up every mainstage all over the globe. the b side features a track called coming home, a dark and evil bassmonster with a tiny percussive melo, strong enough to break down the walls of all the clubs out there. modern techno for the peaktime is what you get. it lets you forget the hype about the minimal kind of music. next to the austrian local heroes, a number of big names of the international techno circus were signed and thats why a good and diversified start of the label will be sure.

remerge started in early 2007 and quietly set the precedent for the current old skool influenced recordings. initially, the concept was to re-interpret old rave records and rebuild the samples into modern day hardcore classics. over the last two years, the series has slowly come to it s logical conclusion with two original recordings, which retain the essence of æ92, but remain relevant to the sound of 09. amenyall is produced by dj wasp, a pseudonym for one of the most revered and consistent producers of electronic music over the last 16 years. expect the usual formula to be broken, crushed and recompiled into something truly unique. >wasp< described it as >the track i wanted to make 15 years ago< and we are really proud to be able to release it. >terror overdrive< by agt rave cru is on the flipside and is without question, one of the toughest, most manic records you re likely to hear all year. wild stabs, full juno hoover workouts, ruff breaks and one of the greatest intros to a track ever, this really is the real deal.

following on from last years critically acclaimed my occupation compilation on tirk recordings witch featured the best of chaz jankels club orientated output i come alive is a gorgeous summertime house tune constructed and executed by one of the uks greatest musical talents.i come alive features vocal contributions from natalia scott (mc tali), also included in this oustanding package is a storming remix on the b side from yam who?

supported by: the love supreme (tirk), simone fedi (dc recordings), club silencio (red music), fratelli riviera (bear funk), the heels of love (under the shade/jisco), nic sarno (southern fried, esp), jose manuel (eskimo), paola testa (ibiza global radio), tim sweeney (beats in space)

patrick begins with his techno bomb “tooth n nail”, a track that showcases a heavy detroit influence with smooth synth work reminiscent of productions from robert hood and carl craig. midway through the track, patrick keeps us guessing with a wobbly synth line that adds playfulness to an otherwise straightforward, moody journey. an understated use of serene female whispers throughout gives this tracks techno classicism a fresh sound. next patrick gives us “davinches”, a chugging tech-house track that pairs a deep, buoyant bass line with a tight, resonant kick, giving it a dynamic groove. patricks tight percussion work keeps things moving with its rims, clicks, and ticks set against a spooky, playful melody that energizes and propels the track to its finish. fans of guido schneider won’t want to miss this one! on the flip, nyc’s elon of clink recordings fame, and a newcomer to klectik, takes on remix duties with a minimal techno take on patrick’s “tooth n nail”. elons version is a pulsating, stripped down mind-bender marked by sub-bass and the sporadic clangs of raw machinery — sexy! this remix maintains the smooth character of patricks original in melodic sensibility, but stands on its own via sparse rhythmic patterns resulting in a deeper, moodier treatment.

westpark unit (aka herb lf & ingo saenger) are back with their annual release on farside records after some work for labels like dessous, tjumy, future classic or fear of flying. this time, they provide 4 brandnew trax for the vinyl edition. more forever might be familiar to a few people that followed the music of westpark unit over the years. the tune is a special rework of their first ever limited 12inch release forever back in 2002 on draft recordings. more forever took some of the original deep harmonies, keeps parts of the piano loop and the beautiful sampled hook and should be a soulful bomb on the 2009 floors. even deeper 45 grows and grows with a very intensely chord, takes you on a trip with its driving bassline and is the other dubby deep house tune here. the first demo version received some nice feedback / chartings / plays from djs like dplay, matt flores or shur i kan. while speaking of house (not house), jam hot and familiar sequence are musically caught somewhere in between the styles. jam hot might be more funk than house with sexy 104 bpm, is bouncing like hell and keeps the crowd shaking and moving. familiar sequence appeals to the disco fanatics out there, has a little of a balearic vibe and is also keeping things slow. both tunes are the perfect startup into the night. we think this is the right tempo for party anyway.

four roses recordings deliver another stunning release by sebastian gaiser under the classic flowers moniker. in the past hes been responsible for the mujaba releases and some yet unreleased collaborations with label colleague motor city drum ensemble. whichflower is a fascinating yet strange house groover moving from beep to bleep. using citations from way back, this one is spreading flowers across all sorts of dance floors. aclaime is finally making way for a weird approach towards minimalistic dance music, featuring a group of cimbalom virtuosos recorded on a recent journey through hungaria that makes it sound like a sunday trip to panoramabar. which flower would you be?

after the smash that was shatnereffekt one, handsette recordings return, bringing a host of diverse and super talented artists from around the world together on one massive ep and another essential array of electronic music.
kicking off the ep is kritical audios >spandex<, a tune that comes slow on the heels of the swedish duos 2006 braindance monster >krupp<. the swedish duo have come with an itchy slice of razor sharp electrofunk with a burbling acid bassline thats currently being caned by surgeon and rob hall (who says, i ve been playing the kritical audio track a lot. good stuff )... this is a big tune!
next up we have miles tilmanns >spirex< which starts with a wonky off beat that gives way to some wacked-out rubbery bassline action and a lead line that could have come from the keyboard hands of harold faltemeyer or parliaments bernie worrell.
following that is c. mantles >that other eden<. fearsome and delicate, morose and savage, >that other eden< is a serious piece of dancefloor heft with reese basslines burbling under a clattering beat before dropping away into a slightly terrifying double-drop breakdown.
unity gain temples >sahmo< rounds out the ep with a glistening, truly beautiful piece of work. the heavy kicks of the intro are met by a rush of lush chords and deft touches of melody, driving the track into a space that is pure audio luxury and reminiscent of brothomstates, arovane and tippers more contemplative moments.

mountains is brendon anderegg and koen holtkamp, friends since their middle school days. they began exchanging musical ideas and compositions which led to them founding the apestaartje label in 1999. as their collaborations and individual projects blossomed, they decided to create mountains as a vehicle for live performance. a love of sculpting sound in front of an audience is at the heart of mountains. the groupÆs third album, æchoralÆ (their first self-titled release and second album æsewnÆ were both on apestaartje), is the culmination of their work to date and a balanced mix of the first two efforts. mountains are often compared to artists such as brian eno and fennesz, citing their extended melodies and their unique broad guitar work. mountains seamlessly blend pastoral electronic sounds with both field recordings and a plethora of acoustic instruments.the effect is incredibly sublime and hypnotic as the sounds slowly wrap themselves around each other and alter themselves in the mind of the listener. includes free download voucher.
