taken from trentemøllers new full-length album, ‚into the great wide yonder, a stunning achievement in modern production and cinematic songwriting, >shades of marble< has been reworked by the man himself, along rising artists kink and kasper bjørke. trentemøllers dramatic, edgy and daring remix of his own string drenched opus is nothing short of breathtaking. leaning towards dancefloors with an appreciation for epic qualities, this expertly constructed re-think will surely be heard well into the festival season. the inimitable man from sofia, kink rises to the challenge of remixing shades of marble and does so heroically. the pleasing result is a tough, chicago meets berlin jack-jam that leads to tripped out and freaky moments in the break, until his trademark drum machines do the rest! finally another bright star of the danish scene, kasper bjørke, has his say with his deeper and more low slung remix that leads the listening into satisfying late night realms. full of funk and melancholy, this is a welcome treat for fans of bjørkes characteristic productions.

>a crowd teaser and crowd pleaser, constantly rocking it with music to make you smile< is a very fitting description of mobilees next new guest, ray okpara. with a string of big releases on labels including oslo, get physical and remote area, he has always stuck by his groovy, soulful and deep house trademark style and his brand new ep on mobilee >booty< is no exception to the rule! listening to soul, funk and hip hop at a younger age, he has carried these influences throughout his musical career, blossoming into an internationally renowned dj, live act and producer. title track >booty< is built upon an inescapable and never ending tightly swung groove, whilst >crabapple road< comes with a nice and deep bouncing bass line. >modern dance< and >coyoacan< follow suit with an equal amount of energy, creating a very strong collection of dance floor ammunition, which will likely be heard in clubs across the globe. get up on the floor and enjoy!

more beatdown disco badassery from camp sleaze, courtesy of melbournes francis inferno orchestra (fio), whose profile is skyrocketing after a string of stellar releases on dikso, wolf music and under the shade. unsurprisingly, >the night he came home<, his debut ep on sleazy beats recordings, is a right clusterbomb of a record. with rush back and this fire is real, fio showcases just how good he is at capturing the sound of 80s disco (crappy vocals and tom drums, what’s not to love?) and transforming it into infectious, midtempo dancefloor fodder while keeping things deep, down and dirty. lovers on the flip is a tasty dreamy chugger with a hypnotizing groove that will appeal to the fans of the super value special edits series. one of sleazy beats finest releases yet, and as usual, a very limited affair (no digital, no repress).

just close your eyes and listen to these three lush compositions, while your imagination paints brilliant abstract visuals deep in the alleys of your mind. keeping consistent with the previous ten aesthetic audio releases, the formula for this new gem remains an uncompromising plethora of very raw substance, innovation, and timeless music that will clearly stand on it own amongst deep dance aficionados across the globe. deep roots: begins this journey with this intense and twisted deep banger that is simply a dancers dream. thumping drums and melodic string arrangements get things jumping as you are very quickly taken to your special place. the dark symphony: is a sinister and grimy yet gorgeous piece of work all at the same time. lush chords and dark electronic sculptures spark an imaginary sense of euphoria as the art of dance holds your body ransom. climates: captures the sheer art and raw essence of deep underground dance. this dark beauty continues to build until your body renders itself to the rhythm, and then ultimately it fades … leaving a beautiful memory on the canvass in your mind.

taking a break from compiling his latest masterpiece while simultaneously remixing and re-editing for various labels, al kent delivers another trio of peak time disco movers.. on the a side “feel it baby” is a classic everyone should know, twisted and tweaked for today’s loop-hungry dancers. the phrase “bassline to die for” was coined to describe this song. then there’s the strings… oof! flip it for you got it, an edit that’s been in al’s armoury a while, one that people always ask for.. so here it is. “drums to die for”? built around one serious serious disco break. lastly, theres loving living feeling. a super funky clav, rhodes and string groove that really packs a punch! million dollar disco is loved by dimitri from paris, pat les stache, solid state, cosmic boogie, greg wilson, peter adarkwah, the dead rose music company, horse meat disco, nik weston, chris harris and many many more..

so … the story goes something like this: being inspired one day by 69 >desire<, vince decided to create an interpretation of it using his own unique sound. the track was done very quickly as a gimmick to send to carl craig as a mark of respect for his own track, now the track has been signed by carl for planet e and the world will now hear that very 12 minute piano and string filled beatless gimmick that is proving to be vinces most musical piece to date. its epic stuff. flipmode with >qualia< which takes off where vinces fcom material left off. deep driving hypnotic dancefloor material with an orchestra thrown in for good measure.

cult swedish producer and multi-instrumentalist tiger stripes arrives on audiomatique with this incredible new three track ep. a monstrous lesson in modern minimalism, ah-64 pumps with a dark yet funky inner power thats felt even stronger after the sinister string laden break. slow building and totally infectious this trippy late-nighter is built for the big rooms and will have you reaching for the lasers in no time. on a slightly lighter tip, how we feel warms us with funky, energetic percussion in a modern and positive tech-house jam. with smooth future house keys and plenty of details its a straight forward floor burner. back to detroit city takes us right there, deep, dubbed and melodic this retrospective workout features delicate melodies laden above yet more warm, powerful and driving beats. continuing, elongating and drifting, its a perfect conclusion to the ep.

huge nick curly 12 inch 2011 starts with a blast !! big with: loco dice, tiefschwarz, reboot, dj sneak, sascha dive, tobi neumann, simon baker, 2000andone, daniel stefanik, sebo k, gregor tresher, monika kruse, raresh, tim green and many more... cécille starts in 2011 with a huge release of the label owner nick curly. nick shows with this record his experiences over the last year. the a side azylum starts with a beautiful melodic string and takes the listener in a world of wonder, darkness and magic. second track on a side named arkum, goes forward to the dancefloor and is definitly a big groover. the long b side with cozumel is more hypnotic and a typical massive nick curly track.

to kick-start the fina campaign we literally hunted high and low to find an artist and sound that we felt would represent us and give a statement of intent. what we didnt expect was for this search to take us south of the equator and into to the deep southern hemisphere. this is not the first place that you would expect to hear warm, deep underground house but this is exactly what you get with the melbourne based mic newman. and thinking about it, it doesnt get warmer or deeper than melbourne does it? mic is a young producer who we believe is destined for greatness. at the age of 29, hes already had a string of underground smashes on labels such as murmur, tsuba, dirt crew, freerange, and now for fina records. the intriguingly named live east, die young ep (mic riffing on his time spent living in london) sees what mic doing what he does best and demonstrates why his future is so bright. on die young, the tougher a-side, mic keeps the beats solid, and the groove tight and hypnotic, while the smooth chord stabs get right under your skin. prolonged foot tapping ensues. on the flip side, live east, mic takes it a little deeper with ever so subtle disco touches. the vocal sample asks what your name is and to take off your jacket as if to welcome you to a very messy after hours on this mcde-esque low-slung house groove. on remix duty, the on-form jacques renault and marcos cabral aka runaway, lift the track out of the south hemisphere and take it in a north easterly direction all the way to the caribbean – adding plenty of steel drums and pads on their interpretation of live east

first on decks.de!! italys t-bet records returns, and as with the labels past string of releases, collaboration is a key theme. this time around we have a fresh constellation of players: acirne, who is half the duo diamond dog (along with her t-bet partner signor andreoni), teams up with rio padice, known for his work on bassculture and tsuba among others.

being one part of the dj team kassette boys, ferri borbás aka superlover is widely known as m_ferri. he was raised in berlin and after the wall came down he got musically influenced enormously by the then arising techno culture of the mid 1990ies. his early productions have always mirrored the influences of the rough, industrial and dark sounding techno sound which was brought to berlin by artist like jeff mills, laurent garnier or joey beltram. simple, radical sounding and functional: tracks like his >tanzgenerator< or >open the watergate< had shaped these asthetics into a trademark sound. his latest superlover project is slightly shifting his musical coordinates : instead of a reduced and purely funtional >m_ferri sound< his new project presents a rather emotional and energetic mix of warm sounding rhodes pianos and string synthesizers. the three tracks of the e.p. combine those sounds earworm-like to catchy melody riffs and being the metamorphosis of a new disco influenced, poppy superlover sound

big with: loco dice, butch, reboot, karotte, tobi neumann, matthias tanzmann, nick curly, daniel stefanik, joris voorn, dj sneak tiefschwarz, lauhaus, robert dietz, alex celler, dubfire.... since breaking onto the scene in 2009 with hot tracks like >rain in rio< on cecille records, and >in da factory< on viva music, rome based leon has been steadily been carving a reputation as one to watch as both a producer and dj! its no wonder then that leon can count djs like carl cox, luciano, loco dice, marco carola and mandy as massive fans of his work! in recent months leon has released a string of successful remixes for the likes of soma records, monique musique & international freakshow as well as travelling the globe playing a us tour and being resident at the world famous cocorico in riccione italy, and touring europe constantly.

following on from a string of epic releases on labels such as trouble and bass, turbo recordings and diplos mad decent, boy 8-bits name and music are about to be on everyones lips and ears again. his club floor killer >tropical heat< on !k7 records bristles with bonkers energy and heavy hooks - this 12 inch is bound to cause havoc on dancefloors.

retrofit reaches release no. 4 with a solo endeavour from boss jay shepheard that truly encapsulates the labels mantra of referencing vintage house, disco and techno but laying it in a sheen of contemporary sonic dynamism. this is more than evident on the expertly paced >all over my nord< which is driven by a richly elastic analogue bassline riding the slick syncopation. a surfeit of melodic stabs imbues the track with real energy whilst the gradual rise to dominance of a pad wash drenched in detroit atmospherics adds the requisite emotion! this is complemented by the much more immediate >string theory< which opens the b side with a master class in future retro jacking house business whilst >kuderskis groove< bridges the gap between filtered disco aesthetics and deep house bpms with nonchalant ease. prime dj business once again from the retrofit camp.

after a string of releases on local action, buraka som sistemas enchufada and his own deep teknologi label, t. williams drops his debut ptn release, the euphoric synth and syncopated drum laden peoples choice.

prompt has been producing electronic music since the mid 90s and during this time has made a string of outstanding eps, some of which have even won awards. but who exactly is this man from madrid: prompt? to stand on a stage and party for hours in his own world is not prompts style. he would rather sit in the background of his studio and create unforgettable and ever more fascinating tunes. his debut ep on highgrade set the tone for his convincing mix of sound design and subtle hooks. these are also the most important elements for his new highgrade release. in >sharing sounds< its all about deepness. expressed through dense loopy forests and deep broken valleys. you have to engage in the sound experience and see the world prompt has built for you. few other techno producers have such a distinctive style or unique voice. with this ep you could be blindfolded on the dance floor and you would still recognize the music. the sound will convince you once again, both in the club and on the turntables at home.

a1: >rejoice< - very strong usa vibes with this one, old school brooklyn boogie feel! the riff is infectious, brought right up to date with the addition of a heavy kick. vocal adds to the feel good nature of this track! killer!
b1: >cant fake da flip< - disco with a large house element. dancefloor killer, oozes of 80s flavour! incredible bassline and heavy old school disco groove.
b2: >get over the edit< - intro builds to a little string break, then the track hits! aggressive, heavy beat! cant help but move to this one. big, big track! another one for the dancefloor.

after house releases on rush hour yore, tony takes it back to home grown detroit techno. from new millennial acid house, to disco string stabs, to human beat box samples, he works new angles into the timelessly classic detroit vibe.

the owl, like its namesake, sits in the shadows. its deep, dubby bassline lazily rolls along, as our franco-italian alliance layer their percussive elements. string stabs usher in the smooth-keyed break, before that weighty bass drops back in. on the flip, txarco brings a sinister, somewhat industrial brand of funk, provided brilliantly by its growling, predatory bassline. as scything sounds, breathy vocals, and a variety of drums rolls lunge from the darkness, and fade just as quickly, we are constantly guarded by our bassline protector.

audioflys supernature label welcomes into the fold zev of wolf & lamb with his betta days ep. arguably 2010s hottest name, wolf & lamb has become a force of nature in electronic music with a string of cross-genre releases from their deftly curated label and amazing parties worldwide. zev, alongside w&l co-owner gadi mizhari, has become synonymous with quality and this debt ep for supernature shows why. alright is a track that sounds like little else out there but its warming vibe and clever touches make it seem nicely familiar. its folksy licks, brutal snares, chopped breaks and ethereal r&b vox are all combined with the sort of alchemic skill that has made the wolf & lamb outfit so exciting.

for a full underground effect, these remixes will not be available digitally, this is strictly vinyl-only business, one for the heads!! the 12inch features remixes by superstars 4hero and m&ms john morales – pioneer of the remix and original producer of jocelyn brown, galaxy, five star, shalamar and all things disco fabulous! recorded in brazil, far out monster disco orchestra is led by azymuths jose roberto bertrami, arranged by arthur verocai and rios finest musicians including and a massive, hugely talented string section – its supersized disco like youve never heard before

after five years of experimenting with a string of different singers, chromatics introduced ruth radelet as the lead actress to star in their films in 2005. forever standing out from the crowd, chromatics imagined the soft rock focus of hall & oates stretched over a fleetwood mac beat. trading the dancefloor for gorgeous chords & melancholic strings. they lived where it was always late & neon lights glimmered across the wet streets. this record archives studio work between 2004 & 2006 leading up to the now infamous >night drive< album.

fifth release on the acclaimed imprint from those lovely people over at the acclaimed sleazybeats blog. the dust just doesnt seem to settle at team sleazy who are set to unleash their fifth dish of mid-tempo filth. sbr005 should likely round out what has undoubtedly been more than a successful year for the sleazy beats crew. as hard as it might seem to upstage their recent sampler, this release by berliner daniel solar (of no more hits and dikso fame) is another trio of totally on point sleazy business which showcases daniels stellar skills. things start off with midfidelity funk, a snappy romp through steady synth and disco string territory. this little number delivers a perfectly spell-binding groove with nicely placed rhodes stabs, crisp tambourines and haunting vocal at the breaks. on the flip, twinkle love snaps out a sweet melange of piano, guitar/bass riff and morphing vocals that combine to give a lively mood and open atmospherics. finally, rounding up the ep is la fleur, a wonky yet punchy cut thats ripe with staunch drum sounds and strings amidst loopy vocal snippets for good measure. all three tracks ride a 110ish bpm groove that is likely to ring bells for those who have been following and digging the sleazy sound so far. the last few releases all sold out in a matter of weeks, so dont sleep on this. you know the drill by now: limited release, no repress.

repress - folk-jazz composer/arranger arthur verocai was born in rio de janeiro. he has created challenging arrangements and compositions for brazilian artists jorge ben, ivan lins, leny andrade and gal costa. in 1972 verocai recorded a self-titled solo lp. it is a stunningly innovative effort. it puts verocai into a rarified field with the heavy string oriented music of charles stepney, david axelrod and frank zappa. released in a period marked by the brazilian military government, the album fared poorly. following its re-issue in 2003 the album has become a highly influential oft sampled classic (see ludacris, mf doom and little brother). the performance of this seminal 1972 record in its entirety brought the capacity luckmann crowd to a stand still. according to verocai, >he had never played the record, alive or dead!< the music has been mixed by verocai himself in rio. history turned on its head and musical justice served.

4 track pure hardcore tracks

intense, deep,raw and dirty tracks by marco bernardi. his first release on clone records in a while and what a record! two tracks build around unpolished rhythms and open beginning that dont reveal immediately where its going. quiet unpredictable is the a-side that slowly opens up with a sultry string and then completely bursts open with a shiny melody that is in beautiful contrast with the raw percussion. broken silence is another deep track founded on a basic rhythm and metallic detroit bass line. topped with spoken words (by keith tucker from aux88) and bleepy melodies, underlaid with a deeper sexy bassline. a track rooted in the best traditions of techno... weve played this one over and over! machine music by men!

following on from last years impossibly good the love quadrant ep by space dimension controller, kinnego records return with two tracks from label owner boxcutter, his first new material since the arecibo message album on planet mu. >moon pupils< is a gentle, trippy bit of 2-step, full of tweaked analogue melodies and tape echoed flute. on the flip, boxcutter & kab driver take inspiration from vintage library music and dubbed out disco. >2time< is all handclaps and insistent synth chords, with two woozy string-led breakdowns. kab driver previously worked on kgo001 as part of kinnego flux.

beg to differ is a dance music duo comprised of house hero nick chacona and wurst label boss roy dank. the two longtime friends started tinkering around in the studio last year, remixing the likes of detachments for thisisnotanxit as well as nicks solo outing with kathy diamond for moodmusic, and quickly finding favor with fellow new yorkers james murphy and holy ghost!. influenced by talking heads, my bloody valentine, and paulsimpson, beg to differs work is characterized by big hooks, live instrumentation, and lush production. the duos wurst debut features two massive - and decidedly different - reworks. parisian afrobeat masters bibi tanga & the selenites get the full beg to differ overhaul on >be africa<, complete with infectious arpeggios, killer keys, and an entirely new rhythm section, with nick himself on bass duties. the pop rock of the hours >ali in the jungle< is transformed into an epic, string-laden anthem taking in disco, rock, and even trance by the end of the mix. heavy to say the very least.

one year later the label panacustica delivers a slamming second twelve inch rats mother followed by a brilliant prins thomas remix, plus a detroit inspired instrumental by stay gold, argentoÆs alter ego. the record opens with a dreamy version where a plucked string intro and rats voice drive you into a deep, cinematic, adult dance groove. this laid back, psychedelic track flows well beyond your usual dance floor act into eno-esque territories. prins thomass mix is faster, happier and jumpier. its an amazing balearic trip with a live warm feel to it in which a guitar plays along the melody, accentuating the spaced out feel of the track, lifting it into higher states. stay gold gives the listeners a techno version where sparse, mechanical drums and a minimized melody take us to the motor city (citta dei motori) for a night drive in the dark. own it, feel it, play it loud.

following on from his string of successful 12 inches on styrax, l2s and mj coles prolific label over the past year, roof light drops a four track ep of dancefloor killers for highpoint lowlife.
already getting heavy rotation from the likes of hot city and mj cole, these four tracks span the spectrum of current uk club memes, from the 2step rhythms of title track >what makes you so special<, the slo-mo house of >face up to your sensibilities<, through to the todd edwards influenced of >prayin to t.e.<, and the moodier down-tempo sound of the closing >cakes, biscuits, and hows yer father<.

a major global player in all things futuristic disco prins thomas internasjonal imprint is further branching out and diversifying with its brand new spanking series internasjonal spesial. the a-side sees the proven and tested multi-national team of reykjavik born holmar filipson of thugfucker and crack & speed fame and ny party veteran ulysees ( one half of neurotic drum band ) pushing the agenda of joining the dots globally with the soon-to-be-classic emotive eletronic disco cut escape from new york . starting out as a leisurely paced electro boogie cut with sentimental string chords, additional e-guitar loops and haunting synth noises leak in a dark 80 s pop sensibility a la my bloody valentine. also the b-side by valentinoland - holmar filipsson partnering this time with arni runar hlodversson of fm belfast fame - is nothing short of truely exceptional but more on the dulcet side with a gut-wrenching string-lead melody in classic balearic sunset style.

the loin brothers are long john saliva and dj silvio, two dashing farmers raised on strobe lighting, fuzz guitars and pork spare ribs. this is their second original single and follows on from heavy helmet, the mock & toof remixed single that caught the attention of aeroplane, ewan pearson and ivan smagghe with ivan featuring it on his live at robert johnson mix compilation. on this outing the loins have pruned, mowed, fertilized and watered their way through the studio to create the garden of vargulf. the original takes off with a thumping bass guitar, orchestral string leads, the odd desert wolf howl and a real guitar soloà with a guitar no less.

hypnotize to mesmerize. thatÆs always been mark eÆs thing. enjoying a sterling reputation as an editor as well as establishing his own label merc with a string of well made 12inches and two dope compilations, the man from birmingham complements our little label again with some original productions. starting with out with nobody else, mark puts love on top of love. unfortunately for you - and good for us - you have to fetch a second copy to go back and forth with the weighty bonus beats. flip side: the wolf is a murky trip into classic cavernous house music with a bottom-heavy ruffneck sound and an attention drawing siren. that alarm bell is also included in a minute-long extra fx section and for those that cannot get enough, seeks and ye shall find a locked-groove. people who like to carry their record collection around on a hard-drive, will also be pleased to know that there is an additional track to be found on the digital release (no locked grooves there, were afraid). its a contemplative force called stoneleigh express. e is for earthquake!

summer killer tune! big with tiefschwarz, shir khan, matt walsh, turmspringer. as a record label klasse recordings acknowledge and develop the ideas between racing, electronic music and the man vs machine relationship. the concept of artist and founder luca lozano and agent daniel zedelmair, klasse holds up the classic spoked wheel design of a racing bike as a symbol of strength and unity which contrasts with the disposable doses of instantaneous gratification found on electronic music blogs and in so many discotheques that they have encountered on their travels. located within, but not constricted by, the genres of modern house and techno, klasse aims to evoke the depth and narrative of themes such as travel, movement and repetition, fusing the rich sounds of traditional wind and string instruments with the accuracy of synthesisers and drum machines.

after a string of fresh remixes, including a great one for the homewreckers here on circus, dave aju offers this two-track side project treat while we await his next album. picking up where he and the invisible art trio left off, and adding another member, we are proud to present thèse unique cuts by mr. aju and his new sol percussion ensemble.using a single percussion instrument for each track, aju and the ensemble bring a raw acoustic and upbeat live jam session vibe to the proceedings on “vibra” the scene shifts to day, as an unabashedly sunny feeling builds up into a sort of loose latin jazz/house interpretation of bob james’ “spunky, filled with refreshingly fun instrumentation and vocal accompaniments- it’s that vibe! . “flexa” starts off with a strong rhythm base, then takes off into the night as warm bass tones and vocal scat chants alternate over the course of this future-meets-primitive hypnotic groover. both tracks reintroduce some playful sonic alternatives to today’s more discerning dance floors, and with the diverse background of aju and his fellow sf bay area ensemble members, there’s plenty of soul and sol, just in time for summer.
