longtime sf fave joshua (aka dj iz) makes his doubledown debut with a solid three-track ep thats definitely one for the groovers. a-side cut sound check will get the maximum play, a stripped-down filtered cut that pays homage to joshs chicago roots, mixing a hypnotic jazzy loop with some straight-up drums and catchy hip-hop vocal samples. josh keeps it moving on the flip, with rhythmic path, a bass-heavy funky cut-up with some tribe called quest samples and a more dubbier mix of sound check. one of joshs tightest eps in a while, as always with that doubledown quality touch!

the newest combat skill release with two of svetecs best productions on the a -side, on the b -side a dariush gee remix of the classic hit >welcome to your doom< from dj ocram, and himself with a scrupulous track on the b2.

aux 88 returns even stronger with pbx-16 >shadow dancing ep< this marks the second phase of the aux 88 presents black tokyo project released exclusively on puzzlebox records. the first song >shadow dancing< is a spiritual floor killer on its way to classic status with additional strings played by estaban adame of los hermanos fame.

bristling with a thousand tiny moments of precision pop, crystal clear production and a host of euphoric heartfelt melodies, visitor release debut single >los feeling< on june 14st.
>los feeling< - an ode to growing up and growing apart - is a dashing display of zeitgeist melodrama that is as danceable as it is moving. b-side >love< is a more minimal slice of late night dancefloor pop, chugging beneath your feet and tugging at your heartstrings.

side a) soft house company – what you need… the most perfect italian piano house tune ever. this record oozes sophistication and perfection in its beautiful construction. as compared to some of the italian piano screamers of the past that have dated quite badly, this continues to live on as a classic emotive piece of house music. a perfect end of the night anthem! a little piano on the flip was regularely dropped at the classic hacienda in manchester circa 1990, huge piano anthem. junior vasquez used to mix 2 copies of this track at the legendary sound factory club in nyc! simple but effective bass with italian piano….. house!

>echoes #2< starts in detroit with an outstanding soulful techno remix from underground resistance and a killer hip hop redo from newcomer dial 81. deetron, one of still musics favorite artist, invades the b side and delivers two essential deeper than deep house mixes.

spring time is knocking at the door, baby!!! days are getting longer and skirts are getting shorter. you were seated peacefully on a terrasse, sipping your gin and juice, and blaaaaaam

amazing spooky hypnotic and darkish dubtechno!!

bringing the virtuosity into contemporary dancemusic, two protagonists found themselves as being the new dreamteam of the scene: thomas melchior and bruno pronsato. and it works perfectly- melchior, the perfectionist who always sets new standards regarding minimal house music and pronsato, the scientist who discovers the unheard and the unbelievable. both living in berlin, melchior & pronsato connected their world of sound and built one of the loveliest records in the whole universe of reduced deepness. on >puerto rican girls< melchior & pronsato play the most wonderful rhodes-line ever created connected with a never-to-stop-rhythm that could last for ages. it features the voice of ninca leece, who just released a super sweet record on bruno pronsatos imprint thesongsays. pure love! on the b-side >we make it right< brings together what belongs together- a fluffy bassline with that kind groove which makes the sun shining brighter.

coming from the heart of bosnia, solomun is a passionate dj who certainly knows how to please a crowd and keep the energy on the floor. equally as talented and creative in the studio, he has many releases to his name on his own label diynamic, as well as other imprints such as four:twenty, liebe*detail and dessous recordings. made for the dancefloor, his productions always have an element of funk or surprise, reminding people of the fun thats there to be had with music. as a label with many close ties to mobilee records, diynamic will be co-hosting a party at mobilees sonar 2010 celebrations, which makes it even more fitting that this release brings the two forces more closely together. solomuns next big bang, being brought to you via leena music, is a sure extension of his impeccable production skills and style, and is also one of the most unique releases you will here on the label so far. a-side >sisi< opens with a head-spinning explosion of notes and chords, being fired out like sparks in a continual loop. then half way through the record, they dramatically stop, only to soon build up again and set the roller coaster off once more. b-side >talk to the hand< is a bass-heavy and punchy track, that surprises you with euphoric piano chords in the second half, whilst b2 >curesto< brings all of the elements together with piano chords, build-ups and some drama. enjoy!

ooooooh yeeeaaah!!! haasten is here! one of technos fastest rising stars brings his strongest ep to date with two huge tracks you will be hearing lot of this summer! egbert returns to gem… >haasten< (translates into hurrying) has been destroying crowds during egberts live sets around the globe for the past few months. a dark commanding bass line that skips over the beat is accompanied by a retro sounding orchestral jab to create what is looking to become one of this years biggest techno tracks! the b-side >yourself< has also proven to be a crowd pleaser and is paving the way for the future of percussion based techno. the punishing drums, deep basses, narrow mids and rattling hats kick ass throughout the track before taking a break for 30 seconds to introduce some melody and continue on mercilessly afterwards. a mean f*cking package!

after his 1st output >mach 4< with orpheo last year, young marco now comes out with his debut solo release. this release features two aquatic themed disco jams. side a is a fast-paced underwater race sounding like an orca chasing a school of fish. the b-side keeps it smooth with a beachy mediterranean love song. another special release from hand of god. limited edition of 300 copies

decks tip! incl. still going remix. 180g vinyl.
complete with sensual, tripped out vocals from nesreen shah and a monstrous remix from our favourite new yorkers still going, the b side is coyotes remix of international peoples gangs >second< - its a clear nu-balearic classic!

fat beats, slow bpm, funky samples and a heavy bass are the new ingredients for jefferson velazquez latest deep release. on the b-side, fueled with high octane, legendary detroit producer rick aade delivers a dancefloor friendly signature piece with strings and pads that made him world famous. as for every terpsichores record: a must have.

here a private pressing of 200 copies with some exciting works of mr bottin who is for sure one of the most active producers in the new disco umwelt this year! one super sweet and sexy track called sage oil. disco just dont get much hotter then this. flip side had a track called hot lizard which is a rawer and more masculine piece as many of us might know from the typical italian police series and horror movie scores from the late 70s and early 80s. recommended!

and we are back for ep three. its a get together between master rick and young kyle. and its time to turn things up a notch. kyle hits it unbelievably hard with >after fall<. have you ever tried head banging to disco music? if not, now is the time, because this track will make you do just that. there is no denying. banger! on the b-side the godson eases down a little and lifts the classic >love & happiness< a capella to work it into a hypnotic groove. build it up! the third track sees kyle and rick teaming up, where kyle provides the drums and rick delivers the groove. a futuristic piece of jazz techno, 22nd century shit, that plays with your mind and demands you to move.

special gloss finish! new single of the self titled hit album. the b-side contains a previously unreleased demo version of saturday night part 2!

mark broom sends out rave-signals to wreak massive havoc on technofloors worldwide. heavy double-a-side from beard man!

fine distorted techno traxx

check b-side for a fine edit of >our love<!

mowars 6th release is delivered by label boss franco cangelli, 2 solid deep techno cuts accompanied by an exquisite mlz treatment. >paper cut< is a smooth and hypnotizing dubbed out techno track for the deeper dancefloor moments. stripped down and most efficient, paper cuts intoxicating dreamy pad sucks you in from the start and gets you hooked on the dubby chords and an addictive bassline. simplicity and solid deepness!
>when they come< on the other hand is a darker affair with ominous pads and fierce kickdrums backed up by deep basses and funky schizoid sounds. dark detroitish techno for brainwashed dancefloors. mlz (half of pendle coven), turns paper cut into a darker cut. dark acidic basslines, a pinch of robert hood mixed with the deep dubby side of the original. very captivating until the very end of the track. another strong mowar cut!

nice price deal !!! hammer boy and the gladiator kickstart burned records with this double a-side!

urgent, throbbing rhythms, which almost imperceptibly increase into a subtle wall of sound: the tracks on todd bodines new ep develop a hypnotic character, stolen away into a dark pulsating sound field which exactly match the title of the a-side: >dark matter<. the increasingly dense electric field mixes with sparse siren sounds that create their own unique attraction. the same qualities infuse >space and stop< on the b-side, with equally unexpected musical power surges. these are tracks that will drag the dance floor abruptly from its spell in the first few seconds, while simultaneously adding a very special drive and intensity. all in all, todd bodine proves again with his new ep - the first release after his highly successful album, >forms< – his unique sense of style, gained over almost ten years of production experience.

after the great mojuba g.o.d.2 by chez damier it is time for some oracy action, its been a while since we heard from the creator of such classics as family day and mind dance. but now after doing a very fine remix for balance alliance in the meantime, he is back in full effect. the a-side bass mood is featuring a disco break styled beat combined with a sick acid bassline à a special track for that special moment on the floor! the b-side with funk advice is cooling things a little down, but in a way only a mojuba record can do it - some serious deepness is waiting for you!

in the dark shadows of the rooftops of haknam we meet esc.eip, who enriches haknams second release with his affinity for deconstruction. his elements appear, melt and fade away to materialise in a deep, winding, dusky jam. the ever transforming structures contrast paranoid harmonies with the forceful percussive rolls, as in >unsound behaviour<. on the b side is >miraa<, the aftertaste of a blissed out acid trip, soft shades build a warm space in which a lost saxophone appears and disappears.

et voila. this is the first release from our newly launched vidab x series. its vidabs new platform, that aims to show some of the unknown and unexpected sides of our artists.
first issue comes from koljah. on his last ep on vidab, 3 months ago, he proved himself to be a big lover of the deeper sides of house. now its up to him to show his passion for epic, soundtrackinfected stuff like on the a side, >simple things< and his dark and reduced alter ego on the flip with >it makes me think<. have fun with this!

side a: temper d >level checking< - this tune does some stuff, then it changes, and does some other stuff. its wicked.
side b: temper d - >gangbanger< this track has an intro, then it drops. after a while it finishes. its even better than the other side.
>loving the vibes on this< ? shy fx
>temper d has definitely stepped up his game with this one< ? raiden
>yes yes yesssssssssss. been playing temper d tunes< ? laurent garnier

first on decks.de! mitja prinz, one of the most successful djs in berlin, with his own series of events yes in the watergate, strikes back with his next awesome release >bosco ep< on aspekt records. the new great 4 track ep includes the tracks bosco, back in the day, mutu and bash. on side a you can expect fresh house with a hint of groovy jazz elements. tangy tech-house on side b, sounds tempting and has charm, groove and sex appeal. no wonder that the new aspekt release is not matchable with one of the previous records once again. moreover its worth it to hear!
supported by anja schneider, sebastian roya, patrick bateman, paco osuna, richie hawtin,...

side a) zone feat. robert lee – soul desires. summery slow mo disco, soulful beatdown. raw bass driving feel good track brings sunshine at your doorstep.
side b) time has been now. ltj … the longstanding producer from irma goes funky beatdown stylee, hypnotic, dubby vocal, whispering … as minimal as detroit production thought it still has the edge of italian recipe!

now we are very happy to bring to you his latest creation for break new soil: the title track >streamvision< kicks off with a subtle melody, easy-going at first but then growing stronger and stronger to finally explode in the breakdown – we can already see this one setting dancefloors on fire from rome to tokyo! on the flipside ilario shows a new side of his production – with >origami< he sets free a chicago-inspired monster groove that certainly will tear the roofs off the clubs its played in to finally let the summer in!

big support by d.sanchez, karotte, luciano, p.osuna, r. hawtin, ricardo....... the new be real split ep. it’s a perfect combination that really rocks the dancefloor. the french johnny depp look alike alex dee does a real nice housey a side with deeconepa and fat bastard. and the dutch formation el mundo and satori adds another two groovers for the b side groove the night and my way.

supported by: reboot, sis, lauhaus, gregor tresher, marc romboy, matthias meyer, anthony collins, kabele & liebe ,.. debuting just in time to move summer dancefloors around the world, alex niggemann, superlounge and marc poppcke present their label: soulfooled - a new platform designed to welcome music enthusiasts, artists, dancers and performers to their own distinctive brand of house music. with a mission to mix club oriented production style, a passionately independent label identity, and the emotive deepness of house, it s no surprise that artists like till von sein, chopstick and david durango are already on board, as well as the gentlemen bringing you this first soulfooled release: audiofly and dualton.the double a side vinyl kicks off with backroom buziness by london/barcelona transplants audiofly.

it is no secret that the 1980s was probably one of the best decades. 1986 was in particular a very memorable and historic year across the world. it also happens to be the year delete was born and the name of the groove laden a-side. >1986< does not boast any sci-fi effects or other worldly sounds, it does however have one of the catchiest bass lines out there. >our generation< pours a real telltale chicago house vibe, complete with derrick carter style vocals and a bone-chillingly infectious four-note pad melody. this is eyes closed, hands in the air euphoric house. the 12 inch rounds out with delete still showcasing his knack for creating funky bass lines with, >lunchbox<. this number runs a bit deeper than the first two tracks, as it is rolled along by little percussion edits and snippets that evoke a more subtle laid-back vibe.

brett johnson returns with four quality southern fried cuts on the first installment of >things that go bump in the night<. keeping true to form bj comes out swinging on the a side with two mixes of >southern dandy<. a funky, tech injected bouncer that pops in all the right spots. and if those pops are too much for you then you have an ace of a dub mix to keep the things smooth. >sensual summations< is deep house burner designed to warm up the floor. again bjs calculated funky drums and hip flexin basslines spliced with a choral style synth stab and rise. quality house music from one of the genres true masters.

brendon moeller is back after 3 eps on echocord, but this time on echocord colour. the track >mainline< is a very powerful dub-techno track that will please all the fans out there.
the b-side is a remix by the one and only robag wruhme. he comes up with a killer remix, a real floorburner, peaktime techno at its best, with the typical sound of robags universe.

please welcome one of the most promising dutch artists on souvenir027, onno. a one-way ticket to india awaits you with the a-side, >bombay palace<. onno is storming the dance-floors with mystic vocals layered with club friendly drums and beats. a must have crowd pleaser for the early sunshine of the day! daniel sanchez (remote area, 100% pure) flies the original direct to chicago - encompassing spacey and vocoded vocal sounds. he genially injects soulful elements into >bombay palace< and turns it into a stellar skyscraper rooftop for >8 minutes of love…< - deep deep deep! on the flipside, onno delivers with >chants< - dizzying on the forefront, all driven by cosmic waves and stomping drums - a singular piece of electronically modified funk. sante happened to be onnos first remixer of choice for the track - a great choice, as he infuriates the original with what the tech-house genre offers best, turning it into a devastating peak-time take. well done!

first on decks.de , just in time for the summer, a very special piece of the successful australian duo rex n chappo!! these two, also involved in imps a side project of minilogue, will for sure inspire you on many festivals this season!
