the second release of this new italian dance reality. directly from suburbia club in rome, burrini & pompili show their style in 4 good tracks. >joplin< is a fresh summer bomb with samples of janis joplin, all is perfect. the groove, the pause and the feeling, probably will be a real hit!! when the sun do down you can dance >summer<, ibiza, free minds, good sound. in the logo side >taurus< is the best high moment in each big open air parties at 6.00 o clock in the morning

a standout track for us is >fantasy<, which was never released on 12inch but despite this has been a djs favourite for over 30 years. the lush layering of instruments and percussion create a track that sounds as fresh today as it would have in 1975. after citing this as one of their favorite records of all time, faze action took this track and have given us some excellent edits which add extra dancefloor elements while keeping the integrity of the original

reissue of this rare italo disco track from 83. probably our last italo disco release since most of it has been bootlegged by now but we really wanted to credit giuliano saglia for this magical release. >firelight< is bouncy 80s synthesizer disco with those trademark italo sounds and vocals (also included the instrumental version). but what should get you really excited is the flemming dalum >firelight< remix. he strips it down to the minimal and builds an amazing dark and intense version that stays true to the original sound but with a modern dancefloor approach.

after a short hiatus bighouse recordings is back with a fantastic release from super hot canadian talent glenn morrison and frequent studio partner human adams. glenn has been making big waves recently with his big room productions, here he shows that he can write music for more intimate settings as well, turning in a smooth, late-night inspired groover in siesta. on remix duties is the legendary bruce aisher in his gutterstylz guise. his remix is like a walk down memory lane, combining the best of oldschool prog with the sounds of today!

after his last years hit fruchtalarm/city rush boogie dub on farside records, its time for another herb lf solo joint. sunliner takes you on a trip and has a deep melancholic mood with a perfect catchy piano hook. when the reese bassline drops, sunliner takes one step further and creates big dancefloor pressure. expect a very special moment when you play out this wonderful piece of music in the club. dub is the word in down to the sound?. some cheeba cheeba business, a smokers riddim, delayed stabs and a killer bassline is enough for this dubby deep tune. ring the alarm! one of the most groovin 4 to the floor trax that has seen the light recently is named shake!. with a few dubby dancehall snippets and a slightly metallic sounding synth, herb lf adds live percussions from tim friesenhagen. even the sound of a lighter (!!) is used as a rhythmic element. get your groove on this perfect percussive atmospheric tool. shake it, baby!

after the phenomenal success of their 1st release, division recordings has been established as a label providing new innovative sounds with boundless potential in every genre. now noisia are ready to present the next installment of division: seven stitches is a slice of electric heaven, a veritable fighter pilot performing synth acrobatics & bound to hit your g force! an appropriate follow up to the bending craziness of yellow brick, seven stiches was initially commissioned for wipeout pulse (psp). sony loved it so much they decided to also feature it in the wipeout hd (ps3) game too. a tune diverse enough to satisfy on every level, throw it down amongst friends or up on stage but be sure to make it loud!

karateklub suprises with hugh tracks from jenn, fantastically remixed by rebekah (criminal/uk). with >cheeky<, jenn presents a groovy and much more minimal side then we allready heard on her last ep. suprising and reduced, her sounds looping up and down, embedded in a clonky basedrum structure. the remix, made by rebekah, well known from her releases on criminal records, is just fantastic and completes the ep brilliantly. she desinged a hugh groove and pushed it forward. by adding her ideas she creates an excellent new track. the interface original is specified by stomping and jigging beats, which get intermitted by smooth voices and melodies, before pushing it up again. these girls have it and paint the town red!

long and sleepless nights were the inspiration for slaapgebrek wich means sleep deprivation in dutch. the results of these sessions are two moody & hallucinogenic tracks, wich represent a state of mind only to be experienced after many restless nights. the original mix with its freaked out shuffled drumpatterns, rave stabs and maximal modulated bassline is peaktime dancefloor fudder for any crazed techno night. frustrated bleeps and fx give it a nervous twilight zone like feel, climaxing and clashing throughout the track. the flipside takes things on a lighter, more emotion ridden tip. the rhythm is stripped down of all nastiness and the bassline friendlier and melodic. halfway through the break the violins kick in, resembling the break of dawn after another night of turning and twisting without getting any much deserved rest. perfect afterhour material.

after succesfull ep enjoy the moment the first female dj from czech republic comes out with new material, track called >u can<, is minimal ,groovy tune with deep silky bass notes and intelligent arangement ,down-pitched use of vocals and perfectly used effects. the quality of this minimal masterpiece is evident from the beginning

played by mathias kaden, someone else, tim green, franco cinelli, katzo and many more. minimood redefines minimal once again, this time bringing you yet another unbelievable talent from the bubbling underground tokyo scene: shu okuyama. the weiter ep demonstrates how they do geometry in a beautiful and fresh non euclidean fashion deep down in shibuya! note how the extravagant a1 punkt represents an irresistible example of the hypnotic hip twitching water crunk sound which is fast becoming one of minimoods trademarks. moreover, b1 strich is simply genius as shu completely axes conventionalism, swinging his sword with samurai abandon through jazzy keys, percussive hits, vocal snippets, analog blurps,..., and then re assembles them all to devastating contemporary effect! one ticket to tokyo, please!

already in the box of ripperton, loco dice, james what, solumun, someone else, pheek, mark august.. with >the games e.p.< daniela stickroth finally delivers a fantastic follow up to >stories from the attic< ... the approach found on the attic, gets its logical continuation on the games ep, which leads us from up under the roof straight down into the brush of a mysterious forest, with moonlit clearings, trails and sweeping turns

hot on the heels of the bestselling second edition in the limited series, the ppf boys dropped off this outstanding third ep in the sample pleasures trilogy!!! as always, they expertly reference classic, though less well known underground gems from the last days of disco to early forays into proto house. heavily influenced by the fertile early 80s period, when european disco and boogie sounds took us in a more electronic direction, and the kind of boundary pushing, energetic, funked up soundtrack ron hardy laid down in the music box, the popular peoples front have established a formidable reputation for making stand out modern club cuts...

its rare these days that a song can rock the dance floor while maintaining quality and integrity but also leave you inspired by the message in the music. house nation is a prime example of this combination. double impulse delivers a groovy chicago beat with a gritty electroish bassline filtering in and out while layered sweeping synth pads glide on top. house nation strips it down and moves into slightly more techy territory with a bouncing bassline and dubbed out cut up vocal snippets.

big with: onur Özer, gregor tresher, davide squillace, d julz, josh wink, laurent garnier, john selway, bart skills, santi xpansul,.. step into the alley, into the groove. into the urban breeze and family hospitality of easy street! without using too many sounds or rhythms in the main track >ad hoc<, van rivers creates a warm, full sound spectrum, with a variety of angles. as daytime turns into nighttime this urban story continues. >slow sails is basically a tool that keeps on building from start to end, with focus on a wave-sounding reverb<, van rivers explains. and as twilight enters, >dusty leaves< turns this street scene upside down with its walking rhythm and spooky sounds. we are the spectators of an act in the vein of michael jacksons >thriller< epic. this release with van rivers really shows the variety of his sound from beginning to end! a powerful record for the floor that plays as well at home too

daedelus links up with michael johnson for the kind of happy song/sad vocals mash down which alfred darlington learnt from listening to too much brazilian music. this, however, is not bossa. drawing on bits of italian disco, twisted trance, french house and more than a smattering of early 80s english new romanticism its the kind of glorious, upliftingly sad number for which sweet indiscretions were invented. the epic nature of this song is sure to make this a daedelus anthem

first up on the n funk series & paying homage to that most treasured of percussion instruments is gotta have more cowbell. sampling that legendary saturday night live studio session with christopher walken, napt lay down an absolute dance floor detonator, activated all the way from their new underground studio hideout.

quaaaaaaaaaaaack…!!! the second vinyl release for the young, nyc/-buenos aires-based label airdrop records, soulclaps >die ente<, comes after a coveted >the giraffe< by the very same artists. nowhere near shifting down a gear or two, the dynamic duo, consisting of the two team players elyte and cnyce, has us sweating and screaming animal names -- again!!! >die ente< simply wipes the floor, true airdrop styleeee. the original mix is already being rinsed out by the likes of italoboyz and getting the crowds whipped up in frenzy. the release also features a remix by tanner ross aka marcel wave aka voodeux coming straight out of hell. rumors have it that claude von stroke showed a lot of interest in it. officially, he says >i like it< and is playing it.

once again featuring long-term toddla collaborator serocee, >>soundtape killin<< comes on like a bashment anthem for the electro age. undoubtedly a dance floor smash serocees cut and spliced vocals get down with a dirty electro beat which is intermittently interrupted by pulsating synths. remixes come courtesy of hotly tipped newcomers detboi and nastee boi. following on from a number of painfully limited 12inch – most notably on herves new cheep thrills imprint – irish sensation detboi delivers a rarefied electro banger of a remix. on the back of this, garage rude boy and t2 comrade nastee boi, drops a bassline infused version that is equally infectious.

james hammer storms the a with a bright hypnotic groove on solid beats that displays a definite mills influence that is sure to have the floor heaving & perfect for the mix. flip for label boss gus brown taking things in a darker direction, heavier snares & a buzzing bass used to maximum effect. then techno legend orlando voorn steps ups for the final remix & slams down a harder remix that builds on the original groove & twists it over and over to finish the record perfectly.

its ireland hottest techno label again and the goodies they ve got prime to spurt out of the old sac are pretty tumultuous. take this outing from heretics of disko, which is label boss desy palmers floating project which here sees him working with robbie dunne aka spectrum is green on a track which first appeared as part of the hold it down magazine compilation a couple of years ago. the two new mixes come courtesy of finlands lackluster bouncing around like richochet rabbit in a disused robot dump and japans yukio taking more of an electro route with percolating percussion to arrive at some engaging oddball alien funk. a diff kind of brotha is concrete soul collectives kenny black remixed by japans katsuhiko putting the female voice through a blender studded with clicks and efx plus leeds nasty bobby, who stretches the vocals savagely over chattering groove reminiscent of psychotic robo chipmunks confronted with david camerons knackers. maximum quality again.

dj-support by adam beyer, alexi delano, paco osuna!! on his 2nd ep on aesthetik brian james shows his true colours. dark, deep and stripped down techno with a solid old school, almost chicago-esque feel to it. rubber doll instantly grabs you through its simplicity and efficiency. pulsating beats, a mental bassline with a slight bleepy feel to it. a true techno dj s delight. madrid s techno maestro xpansul turns rubber doll into a harder edged techno stomper. edgy technoid sounds and xpansul s trademark dark rhythmic craziness makes this track essential to any self-respecting techno jock! panic in detroit is again a typical brian james throbbing techno piece for when dancefloors go into >mental mode<. bubbling custard takes a more experimental direction, reminiscent of early dark model 500 tracks, but jacked up in brian s very own wickedness.

truffle music (toronto) returns with the voices (plant music) releasing their first e.p. isince 2005 and following up on the initial success of their sure thing/street commander eps on nycs plant music. cavern is a disco punk stomper that builds from the start with sizzling 4/4 live drums, bass, keys and a hypnotic subdued vocal that build to an apex only to break down and come back harder on the instrumental tip. spooky is a tripped out instrumental that is slower in tempo and heavy on the pychedelic. featuring all live instrumentation, this track takes you on a twisted journey. l.a.s woolfy (rong, permanent vacation) takes on the remix with his epic woolfy neu rave disco mix and he delivers just that with a speed up stormer that is over twice as long as the original and has a faint scent of old warehouse days but takes it forward with an interesting arrangement and eclectic instrumentation.
