returning for a fourth ep on the label, berlins nick höppner continues his exploration into an ever-developing and rich production vocabulary. the rough goes with the smooth in perfect harmony on -a peck and pawn-. höppners unique sound design leads to a dense wash of sound sparkling with airy details and his characteristic sub bass subtleties, as the whole track gels together in a pushing modern house triumph. the spaced out and traveling -she parked herself- is a real fusion of the many influences behind the producers inspiration. bubbling percussion and pretty melodic structures fuse with a melting analog bassline in this high-tech and positive jam. with its heavy bass and late-night atmospheres -swivel flick- slows the pace in a warm, dubbed and droning thinkpiece that is just as cinematic as it is direct for the club. jostling just beneath the surface youll find a wealth of details that really shows off nicks talent and dedication to a non-standard groove

58 minutes of proto house, denizen loops, far flung folk, post punk, cosmic rock and other junk. after forging new ground with his previous sonic hotchpots >miscellaneous mutant mishaps< and >the exploding disco inevitable<, dom thomas returns with another brain melting audio escapade into the ether. the third album in his dynamic anti-mixtape series on brutal music is salubriously entitled >synthetic soul & other junk<, giving thomas free license to curate a mood that takes the unsuspecting listener on a cascading journey of edits and loops, blurring the lines of traditional dj mixes and original compostion. >synthetic soul< is composed of a variety of genres from >international disco frankenstien< thomas musical heritage, warping together vastly disparate records into a rich sonic tapestry. repeated listening recommended with or without substances...

here we have yet another vinyl release to supplement the highly anticipated cos/mes album. while the first three singles boasted massive a-sides backed with incredible remixes, this release contains two exquisite album cuts deserving their own slab of vinyl. natural lifespan (acid orchestra mix) is a slice of pure bliss, a mid-tempo jam to which you can hug your friends as the sun rises. on the flip, i-bizan (build the progressive band) rides a stomping and tainted rhythm into a dark den of iniquity. pass the lotion

dixie yure is the incarnation of contemporary oldschool house music from seville. after some digital only releases it is about time for some haptic experience. with the 10“ record „show me satisfaction“ on berlin-based label fenou his sound is rotating on turntables for the first time. monotonous minimalism ain’t dixie yures world. the sound tends more towards 2step and builds a homogeneous and pleasant mixture with classical house elements and vocal parts. you just cant deny yourself dancing the >chicken dance< and stepping like hell! thanks to the funky improvisations extending over the whole track you wont get bored even after listening to >show me< for the hundredth time. the a-side is just fun - in the club as well as on your couch. you wont miss the low-pitched vocals on the b-side either as they are typical for the spanish producer. >satisfaction< is a little more reduced than >show me< but is enhanced with jazz elements such as pianos and saxophones. it shows that wind instruments in electronic music dont have to be annoying tribal elements. in this example acoustic instruments do not just get mixed up with house music but merge to one groove – absolutely rocking tune!

few artists can lay claim to such a continuous output as bpc resident joakim ijäs, better known as kiki. for kiki, continuity also means permanently developing his musical vision - his superb second album kaiku is testament to this. the current 12 inch >cinema obscura< follows on seamlessly from us house traditions, yet also reduces them to absurdity with its atmospheric density and sonic extravagance.

hot on the heels of his widely applauded and groundbreaking runner album, crosstown have commissioned some cutting edge producers to remix and reinterpret some of their favourite tracks from the album.

kenton slash demon is indeed one of the most promising new talents out of denmark. the two guys who are also behind the much acclaimed indie-disco band when saints go machine and have gained massive attention with their ksd act, without releasing a lot of material. why? the answer is simple: all they do is just so good. their sound is both organic and futuristic, and their obvious skills take their productions further than the typical frame and dramaturgy of club a track. still 4/4 rhythmic - but with clever and super melodic bass lines and interesting breaks. >sun< is the first release in a ksd trilogy on tartelet called >schwarzchild trilogy< inspired by the elements that form our galaxy. >the sun< 12inch features a remix from the much hyped alan abrahams aka portable / bodycode, from portugal who made added vocals, deepness and classic mr. fingers juno-6 bass line - deep and clever.

usually i disagree with almost anything fashion designers have to say, but when i was compiling this ep i remembered this quote by the iconic german designer and finally exactly understood what he means. i realized why i react so strongly to den haans music. like proper italo disco its so wrong it must be right. the two glaswegian producers do everything right when it comes to pushing buttons on the dancefloor. to follow their releases on dissident, optimo music and their own imprint courier of death, they have put together this ep that sums up their impeccable feel for hi-nrg / italo fueled dancefloor madness.

inland knights return with another killer 2 track release and have larry fives on the remix.

we have never done a project like this before where the artists choose all the remixers themselves. but for the crazy italoboyz album >bla bla bla< we found ourselves not really knowing what to do. so instead of forcing our own ideas for remixers we went back to the source and let the artists run wild on the a&r. marco and fede commissioned all the remixers themselves. the producers they chose are a very diverse bunch and the vinyl 12inch takes a sampling of the best material from two very big underground names. on the a-side das kraus duo turn it a super jackin yet also very haunting rendition of >oh mio dio.< it sounds like pitched up chicago house meets demon days. on the b-side old school master dandy jack turns in one of the oddest records ever on mothership with some unusual sound design, voices and semi-dischordant note runs. super weird for the super weird! whatever you think of this odd lot no one can deny these remixes definitely carry the indistinguishable mark of that ever so quirky duo, the italoboyz
