played by andre galluzzi, andrew grant , dj karotte... due to some research & effort we took during the past months for handling weave musics little sister-label, international freakshows more and more growing reputation and success, it was a bit quiet in the weave-lab. so we thought its about time to present something fresh on weave music as well again!! fortunately the 5th birthday of weave music is giving us a perfect reason for releasing this record right now…

der thal is been playing all over germany and hes been trying to build up his own sound and skills. after making a great remix of reynolds track >craft< on trenton 027 he is now giving us 3 great tracks for a full maxi. mentona ep is a bit of a journey into what trenton use to be about at the very beginning with a techno that is very close to the old school detroit vibe… in der thals music there are a lot of melodic sounds and tough tight beats to keep us on the ground. >mentona< and >maszo< are floating on air with strings and synth lines when >puston< reminds us more of some >tejada< grooves! a great ep anyway from der thal who is definitely on the way to become one of these great young gifted producers that care about music mainly.

after the success arrived with the girls you lost to cocaine, here is the new new sia 12inch, taken from the lucky some people have real problems album. the blond ex zero7 vocalist is back with great remixes by jimmy valance & chris lake!!

new signing from the consistant south french label. following up his works on boiz noise and tigas turbo, the kid provides us with some classy dancefloor action, somewhere between electro and breaks... definitely in the boxon vein...

3 beat have consistenly delivered some of the biggest tracks throughout 2008, and here they follow up the pop smash of paddys revenge with altogether cooler but equally catchy remix package of candy on dancefloor. comes in a variety of styles, head for the wideboys electro influenced mix as this totally tears the roof off- massive release and just in time for the party season new buzz chart no.3 !

the berlin based dj and highgrade-artist jens bond presents with his new ep >hypochonder< his latest work. bond is allready known for his percussive tracks beside that the resident dj of berlins watergate club is well established thanks to his collaborations with benno blome (sender records) and guido schneider (pokerflat). in the namegiving titeltrack for this new ep for highgrade jens bond gives it all: stakkatos of rolling percussions meet pearling synth-lines, creating a jacking, neverending groove. >got some…< develops this recipe for success more into a slightly darker direction, while keeping up beeing changefull with the same >hands-up<-factor. instead of a break mr. bond serves us with >paulista grill< the next highlight of this ep. massive, with a touch of darkness, build on a strong fundament of a funky, dry-asa-bone groove. three tracks, simultaneously eventfull and homogeneous, carrying clearly jens bonds signature.

groovebox ep is filled with some class a material for the raunchy dancefloor. first up there is into the club. this track is typical for channel x: it will blow off the roof in the club! as the title of the track already suggests, this is another one of channel xs lengthy journeys into nightlife extravaganzas. a wonderful fidgety bassline and a loop filled with loads of soulful vocal samples from strong male leads to sensitive female souls, this tune is both deep, touchful and destroying. the chainsaw effect session in the middle paves the way for more stomping tech-house business. no time to recover from this, because on the flip its straight onto the floor with wake up: a loop thats made of trillions of little cut-up effects, vocal bits and some straight four to the floor business. after a playful beginning the tune moves into an hypnotic piece of trippy techno only to be converted into a restless party anthem for the Überpeak-time. sick! perhaps there is some time to chill with the last of the three tracks that is against the wall. here it becomes clear what channel x are best at: to create dark, hard and moving electronic music with that special ingredient that is soul. this track is a perfect example: some frightening effects, lots of reverb on the creepy samples, but such a wonderfully harmonic sample that seems to shed light at the end of the never-ending afterhour. if there is a message to this music, it would be: you need to look hard, but there is always love. once again label boss oliver koletzki has picked up these two very talented producers very early upon their career and it has paid off: in one release being better than the one before

brand new label that offers a refreshing crunchy techno stomper, with some nice production touches. coded signals that pull you to the dancefloor with its old school sensibilities- watch out for the name as we think you will hear plenty more from the intalopa, this boys fresh

phat stavostrand remix !! another outstanding release with some old school flavours

cobra records continues on the beat techno, with a spanish artist david moleon, an owner of the label moo up, who delivers us tracks techno 2 indeed, including, break, good bass turn, an artist that we shall see evolving on the other labels for the future. killians followup the boss of the label, already produced on labels primate, primevil, yin yang, which remixed the track no control, with a groovy touch, or we reknow its signature, and by adding it some good samples old school. a very good e.p to shake your dancefloors

the mysterious re (richard e of solar apple quarktette) strikes again with this killer 4 track ep: bobby hutchersons >hello to the wind<, a vocaljazz cut, d angelos >left & right< , missy elliots >4 my people< with some dope piano bits, and dimenzionis >bamba< a space jazz fave. two big thumbs up

shafunkers are the manchester based production duo alex mcculloch and austin moore. after a random meeting at salford university in 1997, they quickly realised a shared passion for music production and they began their musical partnership by creating drum n bass and breakbeat tunes under the guise of sinewave. both classically trained musicians with influences ranging from jazz to the beatles, the duos mutual love of dance music eventually led to them to start producing house music together. tick tock is no exception to their remarkable quality, in fact alex has described it as some of their hottest work to date. a catchy, melodic hook floats effortlessly over quirky electronic percussion. remixed by danny freakazoid and ben hoo.

fusing some weird italo-ish vibes together with some unmistakenly drexciyan influences this is a pretty unique release on rh! concepts often bring interesting results and this is no exception.. i think its going to be a real >love it or hate it< record. yurotrago take the track somewhere completely different, stretching it out on a different kind of vision. awesome deep and moody action for the floor. the packaging is awesome for this one

played by oliver huntemann, dubfire, the glitz, loco dice, stephan bodzin,timo maas, popof, butch, gregor tresher ... andré winter needs no introduction. hes been around for ages, pushing forward dance music in amyn different ways & styles. most recently he co-produced the insane dubfire & huntemann collabos >diablo< on cocoon and ideal audio. and now hes back with a super strong solo release. the a-side >trauma< comes with a slight afterhour- feeling. with its drifting beat construction it makes sure your psychiatrist still has some work left to do. on the bside the name of the game is >karma< . as the title implies its a really deep and conscious tune with stripped down rhythm, >hands in the air<-chords and exciting soundeffects. great work! this guy simply know hoe to cane euphoria

mike takes his ambient album closer stargirl and remixes it into a carl craig inspired deep, minimal track with a gorgeous string section and some twisted computer arpeggios. saleri complex an extended club mix that uses eerie pads, detroit styled synths, and twisted vocal samples.

after more than one year and a couple of releases on sistrum recordings and morphine records, ksoul is finally back with a new project called kindasoul to launch his new label kinda soul recordings. the first release will be a split alongside scott ferguson who kindly gave the chance to licence these tracks from ferrispark records. the aim of the label is to focus on the deep side of house music without any kind of compromise, trying to highlight some of the best producers around plus some promising newcomers. the concept is also based on reaching out all the people who helped me in the last years to make it real in order to create a sort of worldwide family around our faithfully loved house music. you know who you are... ksoul!

a sexy release for rare 12inch versions and re edits from belgium and france... we have here some slower but heavy funk numbers, that will appeal to anyone from disco funk lovers to cosmic balearic djs... a side is a killer belgium nuggets, that needed a small cut in the bridges to become a plain and simple absolut classic. b side is the french side... two sexy tracks from the 70s french madness... no joke, first up use to be background music on french tv for the weekly strippers show (aahhhh the 70s)

disco don doug willis aka joey negro aka dave lee has been raiding the vaults for dancefloor delight for twenty years now and we find him as on top of his game as ever. taking the al hudson guitar lick made massive by chubby chunks he crafts a funky floor filler around that. manchesters finest the audiowhores take it into tougher, funkier territory with 2 slamming mixes as zedd close the year in some style with another modern disco masterpiece, these boys never put a foot wrong

part 2 of the compilation is a treat for any fan of house music as every track is a piece of unreleased joy from some of the most reliable names around. a must for fans of the label, a must for fans of any of the labels artists and a must for those who follow superb house music as either djs or punters. part2

ep002 hosts fresh new material from the labels head, sync 24, the debut release for matt whitehead, an appearance from pyramid transmissions well respected label owner adj and the brighton based acid maestro junq. chunky analogue basslines accompanied with some great electronics

omanko is the only word that is unmentionable in japanese media and public speech. its also the next single from catz n dogz - a strange hybird of cinematic swells, quirky natural drums and popping guitar plucks. its unorthodox groove builds relentlessly, anchored by a shouting chorus and warm bass bubbles that swell from the depths like some massive ancient sea creature. they take their time building to the climax, finishing the track with late-entering keyboard theme that quickly swirls into a frenzy. perfect for tipping that peaktime crowd over the edge! the italoboyz remix completely remolds the groove to fit their distinctive vision, seamlessly integrating shards from the original into their tension-fuelled agenda. breakdowns of varying sizes dominate the sonic landscape, as their annihilating kick plays hide and seek with the strings throughout the track. finally, all the elements are reunited by the echo-drenched vocal line and percussive baritone sax stabs – a satisfying finale to this latenight masterpiece.

maintaining the high levels of filth on the dubstar imprint, f one gives kromestar a run for his money with this one. 3 dancefloor destroyers on this plate, but not wihtout some depth and variety. in particular, stomp the yard brings some different techy kinda vibes to the dance. propa stomping business!

the first twelve from johannes volk gained support keith worthy, mike huckaby, mills, etc. on this second release johannes drops a mighty techno stomper called internal structure reminiscent of some classic robert hood productions from way back. inspired by a severe an damaging tornado storm in volk?s hometown, this incredibly good, yet frantic piece of dance music is build from layer upon layer: static beats, grooving bassline, sweeping synths and a warm rhodes-esque sound make this a apocalyptic but colourful banger. on the flip we have gerd bringing home the potatoes for sure. his take on volk?s internal structure is a mighty acid stomper reminiscent of those warehouse parties, yet it is done in a very contemporary way. check!

permanent vacation present you the first 12inch release from their shiny new joint venture with the great swedish label service (who brought you studio, whitest boy alive, jens lekman, kool dj dust). together they bring us the embassy, a duo from gothenburg that makes the most beautiful songs. their sound is warm and light, but underneath the surface theres always some kind of tension, they sound like an ecstasy fuelled, jewel stealing balearic indie band on a permanent vacation at the riviera. or as they say themselves: underclass disco. the original of lurking (with a distances) sounds like a forgotten manchester rave anthem, while wunderkind tensnake made a little jam session with boney m in his parents basement to provide a heavy remix sporting a great sax and a killer panpipe!

nice price deal !!! the valentinos... or as i should say now the lost valentinos. or the band >formerly known as< the valentinos before their legendary name change? anyway. poor little conquistadors just want to make music... not stress over clause 23 in the trademark agreement over who has the rights to a name. fuck those people, if they only knew about music, if they had a soul, they would pay these kids to share their name! man there is some whackheads out there without a vision. but thank god we do. and thank god the lost valentinos do

played by sebastien leger, laurent garnier, miss kittin, florian meindl, popof, oliver huntemann,.. phunklarique & dejonka a.k.a. piemont return to the knall camp.. another proof why they managed to enter the german producer champions-league within the last year… micro minimal electro-house with some great variations on the sfx side. simple but yet effective original version.…. the remix by their friend bastian heerhorst sounds as if it was recorded on a uboot.

they came from the stars i saw thems new live favourite moon song taken from their recent album “we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at they came from the stars i saw them” comes with a premier set of remixes from serge santiago, holy ghost and mungolian jetset as well as newcomers king of town and weird knights.

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. were gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainlly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut. just the way we like it...for int005 we bring you a slow house chugger in the form of break the barriers, done by malaysian born and berlin based frankie flowerz. i have to say, its not by choice i decided to put this track out but a calling... upon hearing this track in frankies myspace player i knew i had to put this out over 12 inches in full scope... i spent some time trying to come up with the perfect match for remix duties and i think weve succeeded with the choice of man of the moment(and soon to be legendary)john daly of galway who turns in a slightly faster, darker and a bit dubbier affair.

this is a great start from a cool new brand by fergie !! he is a producer and dj who has delivered some high quality content on his own excentric music label over the last couple of years. that brand is purely to showcase fergie s own productions and now he has decided to start a new sub label to showcase the music of others musically aligned to himself. this first release is a large killer called 2nd to none from the mighty umek with its killer hooks and major league production. on the flip there are 2 superb remixes from tony de clerque and f sonik.

transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

not a lot is known about who is behind the amplified orchestra moniker, although there is a chicago address stamped on the vinyl. cosmic slope is a spacey number, with bubbly basslines and a full retro synth workout to challenge the likes of moroder and co. it has a great cosmic vibe to it, with some lovely sounding synth solos and a bubbling bassline. the title track, on the flip, fun thing is a sick acid work out with a mean and aggressive 303 bassline, housey stabs, cool strings, superb sy
