after the huge >score for direction< success with label owner pär grindvik stockholm ltd presents a new swedish talent for the world. simon haydo is a really close friend of pär grindvik and the stockholm ltd family. for several years, simon has been playing records among the high end clubs in his hometown of stockholm, sweden. a while ago he finally got himself some studio equipment and has been asking for production tips from time to time, but when we received his demo we realized that he didnt really needed them. simon knocked us right out of our chairs! we rarely get demos this emotional and we didnt know that simon would pass us one as we had not heard a bleep of his music until that day. most of the demos you get are from people trying to sound like someone else, but simon has a sound of his own. we are really proud to have simon haydo joining the label and his first record >different shades of white< will follow us forever! >different shades of white< has got great support all over the world and will be released on stockholm ltd, watch out!

homewreckers - close your eyes til the morning the amazing success of their last release >its about time< challenged the homewreckers to push their sound a little further out. >close your eyes til the morning< is hardcore groove with a great, burning synth bass that funks along until new york singer dennis legree brings some excitement to the proceedings with his tremendous voice. its pure underground deep house - intense, abstract and dramatic. no wonder that felix da housecat and marshall jefferson supported those guys when they were teenagers! a vital alternative to the melodic clichés and rhythmic orthodoxy of the electronic music mainstream. langenbergs remix gets the b-side under way. backed up by a strong beat it rolls steadily ahead with unflagging propulsion. next up is >hot hot hot<, an exciting up-tempo number which gives kemo another opportunity to show his lyrical feeling while >smile< slows down the pace easing into a down-home hip-hop affair. this is the second of four records representing the vinyl collectors edition of the homewreckers forthcoming album >american ruhr<

beautiful and moving modern soul cut gets a deep, stripped down house makeover by david harness.

in the year of punk 1977, the jams exploded onto the music scene with this seminal debut album. the raw, unfettered aggression of the bands approach was well in keeping with the spirit of the times, but the heart of their songs and sound lay in the mod movement of the mid 60s. singer/guitarist paul weller comes off like a cross between joe strummer and the young pete townshend, bashing unreservedly through slow down, one of the r&b tunes that inspired the original mods. weller extols the virtues of frenzied dancing and nonconformist youth culture over the raging three chord attack of bassist bruce foxton and drummer rick buckler. the pure punk insouciance of his words and delivery is a perfect match for the raging but hooky arrangements, which basically consisted of the band walking into the studio and blazing through their live set. rickenbacker guitars never sounded so thick, and skinny ties never seemed less geeky.

eigelstein royal ist produzent dieter dre mit den mcs moe live, zillus und stingabee...zwischen breakdance raps und eighties pop lassen die jungs keine peinlichkeiten aus um jede party explodieren zu lassen. wot u call it - prollrap, wot u call it - muelltonn. we gonna walk down to eigelstein avenue...

cheap is back !! brilliant funky down tempo styled masterpieces for high society hang overs

dj support: stephan bodzin, laurent garnier, mijk van dijk, misstress barbara, break 3000, silicone soul... if you havent realised yet, its 2008! and flash recordings are back with a bang. this time around the label owners oliver koletzki and florian meindl joined forces again with their tough breed of minimal and electro creating their unique signature sound that has been hailed as the new german techno. after singles by daso, pawas and lützenkirchen, the two masterminds behind the imprint have decided to throw their skills together in a big pot, stir it around a couple of times and spice it up with some dance floor mania. and their brew is lethal! cyclone is one of those tracks that will completely reorganise any dance floor. koletzkis charming melodies are mixed with some tough minimal meindleske beats that break down in a crescendo of effects and synthie patterns. this is a magic potion! on the flip there is tiger. with its strong bassline the track lurks around the corner eagerly waiting to bite the crowd with an enchanting arpeggio and some great stabby chords

with inner soul (sk178/elektrish) on sonar kollektiv roland appel will tear the clubs down with some new and irresistible deep-house drama. after one year and 2 great eps that have taken dance floors down all over the world munich-born roland appel needs hardly introduction anymore! just 2 words will suffice: dark soldier. this stunning track was a secret hit at the 2007 miami winter music conference, and found its way into the bags and the charts of the biggest djs in the world.

la rocca is back with a 3 track vinyl sampler including the much sought after james harcourt s >schadenfreude<

dance mania was a chicago label founded ray barney in 1985, and was distributed out of his legenday barneys onestop. from the very beginning it was known for raw, percussive tracks from the dirty side of disco and in the 90s laid down over 200 12inchs that were the blueprint for what is now known as >ghettohouse<, or >bootyhouse<. this sound became the foundation for many regional styles of dance music including detroits >ghettohouse<, baltimores >club<, and the current sound of chicagos neighborhoods known as >juke<. we are happy to announce volume 2 of the ghetto classics series with this 4 track ep from two of our favorite ghettohouse producers. features >wouldnt you like to be a hoe<, taken from the >taris is paris< 12inch on dance mania (dm131) and >groove mode<, taken from the >funk city< 12inch on dance mania

nice price deal !!! limited killers house mixes

the kazey & bulldog picture disc is followed by the first d2s release from our hero rod lee - a baltimore legend in his own right and in our eyes the no. 1 club producer, bar none. this super aggro dude has serious issues. he just needs to open his mouth and kids cry flames. for his first d2s release, rod commits re-mastered versions of two of our favourite cuts produced by the man. we first heard >understand< when we scored a bunch of scottie bs ebay auctions, and to this day its one of the best baltimore tracks ive ever heard. you can play this sh*t anywhere and the crowd just freaks out. hip hop heads love it, techno heads love it, even your girlfriend loves it. we coupled it with rods simple but ultra effective remix of the eurythmics classic, >sweet dreams<. when the catch an attitude tour dropped in on our club in glasgow, a-trak dropped this beast for all of 30 seconds and people went nuts. bannanas even. you could argue that the eurythmics remix thing is overdone and outdated, but if you did so, wed know for sure you hadnt heard rods version. anyway... we tracked it down and got it on the flip, so really this is more like a double a. both cuts are re-mastered (but still raw like the day they were made) and cut loud on heavy 12inch vinyl

the track >uhlenbusch< shows the minimalistic, but playful side of the duo consisting of the dj ron schatte and producer christian haberer. clapping hands groove along with flabbily vocals. the bassline winds everything to the basics of electronic music put in a new robe. incl. a fabrikat remix by jay la forge (deep in rhythm/schieber) and a flatmate remix by asferico. the fabrikat remix has the power and straightness to be played primetime on the mainfloor of your favorite techno club. in the flatmate remix, asferico strips the original version down to its meer fragments to create a cool and gripping piece of minimal music. an awesome sound experience that makes the record a captivating label debut.

after unleashing the celebrated bare fist edits on us, the mysterious monsieur gateaux is back with a stunning original production. much is being made of the cosmic revival, and sure enough this does tick all the mid tempo, blissed out balearic boxes, but theres much more to love about dune, with its spacious ways and early 80s european electronic, dubbed out psychedelic vibe, shot through with a little eastern promise. its little wonder its been receiving major props from the bearded elders of sit down djing, off the back of a handful of early copies surfacing in the uk. as if that wasnt enough, the (not so) mysterious phoreski taken over the remix duties here!!!

as the labels starts rollin, jörg henze delivers the next chapter of energetic, but slowed down techno with his two tracks >devon< and >carbon<. beside loads of samples and fragments, both tracks are driven by powerful basslines and grooves. expect support from all performers not afraid of spinning high quality techno in these >reduced times<

cut the crap, straight to the essence. lizm04 is among us, essential dancing and listening courtesy of ahmet sisman, our own private istanbul/brussels/essen connection. some pure dancefloor pleasure hidden in a-side track hiyan, multilayered, quirky luvly trippiness: one surely aiming for the boxes of djs digging the onur ozer vibe of late. the other side (why call it a b-side anyway ?) goes for a slightly deeper approach, guzzling in the vibe of a few hours later down the line in your favourite afterparty .... but hey why not just use the authors own words to sum it all up : this is surely: >dance for the moment<

at the forefront of the new wave of german techno, p.toile and her co-producer alexander krueger (aka tigerskin, aka dub taylor) have created a jittery, bubbly bomb without a piano in sight. propelled by chopped up vocals and rolling snares, >piano piano< conjures up images of an 18-wheeler chugging down a lonely highway on a rainy night, receiving fractured instructions over a faulty cb radio. midway through the track, ethereal pads pierce through the darkness. the rain stops, the clouds part, and the melodic percussion hammers back in. sven tasnádi has dominated cargo editions recent release schedule with his own unique productions as well as collaborations with daniel stefanik, so we are understandably excited about his first contribution to mothership. svens >adventsfrequenz rimüxx< pulls us even deeper, exploring >piano pianos< main chords from a percolating underwater world. a steadily building groove unfurls majestically on the ocean floor, punctuated by rolling congas and sudden crashes, as if a hurricane raged on the waters surface

nake sharco is not the name of a mean, dangerous bounty hunter with a big-ass mohawk and bizeps like ox thighs but stands for the unexpected collaboration of premium canadian techno auteur mike shannon ( cynorsure ) and spanish purveyor of elegant deephouse and loudeast label boss nacho marco, who are nevertheless out to nail down some punters and lock them on the floor with this powerful 3 tracker.

o the lead single from jay hazes new album love & beyond, arriving 28 april. o a jacking floor-filler powered by jays previously unknown beatboxing skills. o features exclusive b-side >free ride<, a collaboration with ricardo villalobos. jay hazes upcoming album love & beyond is set to win over new fans, confuse longtime followers, and piss off the haters as jay takes things to the next level. available on 2xcd (digital soul and instrumental beatscapes) and 2xlp (entirely different tracks of dance material), the album is a noticeable departure from his back catalog (which nears 100 releases if you include his numerous aliases and side projects). ass to mouth is the 1stt single, driven by layers of jays own voice - breathing, cooing, and clicking - combined with ominous synth lines, resulting in a bouncy, sweaty workout track. ass to mouth is inspired by classic chicago house, yet wouldnt sound out of place on missy elliotts so addictive or björks medúlla. in addition to a stripped-down a cappella version, this single includes the non-album b-side >free ride,< a 10-minute spacious groove co-produced with his buddy ricardo villalobos, showcasing the synergy between two of the most forward-thinking producers in the global techno/house community

kenny dope with the large and limited mix on this vocal house cut pulled from the top selling sur la terre 2 mixes with kenny laying down the deep ny vibes on one side and there is also an unreleased deep tribal mix from martin himself on the b side

nice price deal !!! babylon, a collaboration with between black canvas & the breakfastaz is the first single taken from the album rise and is undoubtedly the stand out track in terms of dance floor sensibilities. the breakfastaz lay down their trademark funky beats, driving basslines and faultless production whilst black canvas layer poetic words and soulful harmonies on top.

hyperdub kick off 2008 they way they intend to proceed, with new tracks from a new artist. on her debut release, ikonika comes with her own very unique, warped yet soulful bleep sound. with shape shifting beats that switch styles every few bars its hard to pin these two tracks down... cos if it was easy, it just wouldnt be hyperdub. both tunes are one minute minimal, one minute maximal, driven along by ikonikas special combination of wonky synth and deep swingin sub bass melodies that place them somewhere between an early, blocky grime instrumental and the sweeter side of detroit techno ? except with better bass of course! who needs a vocalist when your synth can sing like this? quite how kode9 manages to keep unveiling new producers of such abundant talent is a conun drum, but one to be cracked some other time when we?re not so busy keeping up with his astonishing labels ceaseless march into the future.

incl format b remix !! the 6th release on david keno s own imprint comes with a deep harmonic bass and a fragile synthline embedded in a pushing groove. berlin s format b don t have to be introduced any more because everyone knows their incredible releases and remixes on highgrade, stil vor talent, opossum or great stuff. their pattexremix is more stripped down and rough than the original what brings more rave attitude to the dancefloors. that is why we love these guys so much.

phat groovin tech traxx !!

two more masterpieces of detroit house that will send shivers down the spines of true deep heads. >dirt rhodes< has an uncut, raw afro-beat feeling to it with layers of distorted, delayed, effect-ladden rhodes meandering on top. >yu forgot< spreads a feeling of deep melancholy with voices moaning the blues over a trademark theo parrish beat.repress

williams is back with a brand new 12inch for get physical, el baile. the lead track immediately enthrals with its galloping kick, snare and analogue bass pattern, before a typically williams-eque, fat but understated electro motif, phased chords and crisp percussion edits propel it onwards into the heart of the dancefloor. >the unbearable truth< is a thrillingly modern, moody take on the straight-up acid track. a devastatingly simple, bending acid line lies at the heart of the track, but its the way the uncompromisingly linear beat and one-note bassline play off it that really makes this track fly. house music to get lost inside. >kiss of life< sounds every bit as vital and reviving as its title implies. its beauty lies in the intricate and expressive interplay of synths: beginning with a lowslung melodic motif, a more nimble, staccato bassline emerges, before the deep, kosmische-style chords arrive ahead of a powerful breakdown into heads-down techhouse strut.

classic gary numan trax from 1979! limited edition pic disc re release

john hawley and heather doble work up a prime time heater that is exactly what the record chants... funky shit! here is a record where sound navigators lead the dance with a hot 12inch loaded with fierce vocal chops, jacking keys, crisp drums pulled out by a hot range of deep bass keys! the deep analog keys that run through this record are exciting and will throb nice and sweet out of club systems. atnarko shows up to turn heads again... this time on a remix tip. with production skills like this don’t be surprised if he becomes flavor of the moment - very soon! his mix offers the best of hypnotic tones, jacking baselines and explosive openings of deep keys. both mixes combined live up to the double down catalog of super smokers if not take the lead!

hum along is one of the earliest productions of mr. mwambe. he started the track in the beginning of 2004 and for the last 4 years it has always been a very important and personal part of his life. only brontosaurus intelligence & ca$h were able to get this masterwork for this lickyboom- boom-down house 12. to complete the commotion full time nice guy, father and electronic innovator move d from the beautiful city of heidelberg sat down to deliver a spontaneous disco version of the track – reanimating the fresh and impro vibe of late 90ies german disco / house productions. the b-side >greatest love< continues where artos mudhutma 12 ends, celebrating the unholy passion of deep housemusic. voila.. a limited number of covers will be hand-printed with another nice torso. as always.
