behind the synonym nick sole is karsten kaufmann. as a music producer, he has released only 3 titles on the cult label mojuba between 2005 and 2009 but all of them had a great success within the deep house community. this is his first release out since march 2009 and contains two different takes of >never<, the radio edit and the space dub version which is a 14 minutes ride to the heart of deep house accompanied of a classy and delightful conga and catchy vocals. >back to love< completes the ep and elevates nick sole to the soul music heaven.

boys noize new album >power< has been released in october 2009 and already got massiv support across all genres. >transmission< is the 2nd single out of >power<, its static unheared synth sound, its robot voices (you are neutron because lazor transmission) on a breakbeat gives you a feeling of josh winks early hit >higher states of conciousness< going to bed with kraftwerks sound aesthetic and robots on a 2010 afterparty. this release includes a dream package of remixes and also a video to follow shortly after. well respected electronica producer mr. oizo (ed banger) does what he can do best by twisting the original to a serious moment of a firecracker, tiga takes the main idea of the original song and turns it into the perfect 4/4 banger, bnr s super talented djedjotroic delivers 2 remixes: 1 acid drivin shot and a big room techno dub for friends of len faki or dubfire. with the untold remix (hessle audio) you probably get dubstep s most interesting producer bringing an epic dubstep version. last but not least you get a real deep techno remix by the techno master himself: james ruskin (bluefin rec). resident dj of berlin s berghain delivers a top of his class techno mix.

gui boratto keeps on giving with these three brand new tunes - a true statement of the tremendous talent he continues to bring to kompakt. he bumps up the bass adds a vocal chorus and teleports the original into a new stratosphere. telecaster is a dark and deep floor leveller. the glam is a rocket - elemental percussions play with a low end synth ride that rolls with a menacing delivery but certain to lay devastation on any dance floor.

well known for her electrifying panoramabar sessions, representing her love for all things deep, sensual and musical about house music steffis talent has blossomed out of her relationship with the musically entwined cities of amsterdam and berlin.
her touching, classic-jack inspired productions continue to gracefully bubble towards the international surface with this 12 inch. her debut cut for the label, >24 hours<, featured on tama sumos >panoramabar 02< compilation set out her production intentions quite eloquently. >kill me< continues the warm, traveling night-time vibes and opens steffis signature sound up into a full vocal-led celebration of house.
besides steffis killer chicago inspired throb and moody melodic structure, >kill me< features the sultry vocal talents of close friend elif bicer, also recording partner of label mates prosumer and murat tepeli. elifs tender and instinctive story of a love lost and found flows honestly and creatively throughout the vocal version. an instrumental dub is also included for the creative use of the dj.
steffi also shows off her skills with the >crushed soul< mix, allowing her intuitive, sentimental yet dancefloor tuned chord progressions to flow stronger. baassline led and focused on clean, precisely measured beats and synth lines to tell the story, this alternative version goes even further to suggest what treats are yet to come from this talented producer.

great new release on the deep house label that keeps on building up and up and up. already acclaimed release by those lucky enough to have already recieved a digital promo. including original version as well as master h. remix. definitely lurking towards the old skool masters as ron and chez...

stefano miele & maddox aka riva starr present this new track. incredible number of contacts on youtube: original idea, out of normal lines... success

after the huge success of glitch, the last single from missill on citizen records, missill delivers us her new ep chuppa! an original version - fully electro and uncompromising. the ep comes with a bunch of remixes to fade any dancefloor, the fidget/kuduro version from manaia & the more clubby delivery from stereoheroes & mustard pimp, the electro dubstep from tambour battant & the tropical minimal version from edu-k.

round no. 2 for the alex baus credo repaints, this time featuring the long term techno-heavyweight chris liebing and the uprising jonas kopp from argentina. chris keeps close to the original of >full method jacket<, a track he has been playing frequently, adding his own flavour in a very impressive way. jonas turns >lofi micro< into a stripped down and arrangement-wise more relaxed version, but his precise drumming and sound-design makes this remix becoming something completely new. full points again and already massive dj-support from a like abba to z like zz top :-)

cover version of the s.o.s. band classic!!

in japanese niwa means garden. the concept of what an album should be is really taken seriously here. with >niwa< what you open your ears and emotions to isnt just another loose bundle of tracks. all the single stories, element by element, are constantly fusing together into a greater whole. this is rippertons world. he draws on all the influences that have journeyed with him as a passionate musician on life’s long and winding road. influences far beyond dark booming warehouse parties abound, and are just as likely to conjure up vivid images of dewy lausanne sunsets. folk tinged downbeat experiments peacefully co-exist with delicious jazz blueprints and sublime ambient soundscapes, sitting in harmony with deeply hypnotic house grooves.

way ahead of its time and quite incredible to imagine such a modern sounding record could have been made so many years ago... this cult new wave/dance cover of the doors classic was taken off the first of the two long players that la synth band moebius (not to be confused with german electronic maestro... dieter moebius of cluster and harmonia fame ) released on moonwind records, 1979-1980.

rob bellevilles 4 track ep for adepth audio is his first vinyl release, following previous releases on the schall netlabel and paul macs digital label sulamuse. the 3 original synth-driven tracks on this ep are a perfect example of robs capability to produce epic-sounding tracks which are deep, soulful, energetic, and dancefloor-friendly.

our man ryo murakami sends over the next transmission in his exciting and growing catalogue of productions. always inspired by the raw and soulful sound of chicago and new york, this next ep puts forward his vision and continuation of this timeless house feeling. lead track >just for this< is a wonderful celebration of heavy slow motion house. classic house references and even a few classic samples meet in a dirty, deep ride into the tweaked out and extended vibes of the late night people. a journey through the city of house, a perfect refl ection of the times, bringing warmth and light in a once colder world. graeme clark aka the revenge, a fi gure who has enjoyed much success with his deviant disco sound, steps up for remix duties - and a fi ne job he does too! building his mix from the bare bones, adding a little more pace and forward momentum, his version is also tightly bound within the roots of emotional, deep vibes house. this is an outstanding remix - functional, clear and fully devoted to the classic sound. on the b side a mysterious original, >untitled<, sees ryo pushing things a little further still. the energy levels climb higher and higher as this modern hypno-houser phases and pulses upwards over nearly 8 minutes of jacking, sample laden freshness. we love to visit ryos house, where everybodys welcome and theres smiles all round
