persistencebit returns with the follow up ep of wang incs meditations for a better world series, which first part on persistencebit has been highly acclaimed and has been given incredible reviews, such as in de.bug magazine among many others. previously on sonig, bip-hop, and context, he now reappears with number two of the series and once you start listening you will know it all makes sense, given how close in spirit wang inc. s fresh fusion of experimental treatments and funk-house grooves is laid down. throughout the ep, wang speckles his fabulous metal machine music with rolling bass lines, high-stepping beats, and brilliant splashes of synthetic colour, whether it s the pounding stepper mind the gap or the pulsating future-funk of you are late a near-perfect fusion of experimental and dance musics, hyperactive dog splatters its house-inflected steam-roller with showers of whirr and click, and animates it with snares that hit so hard they could chop your head off. in the closer track this is the song to say goodbye he brings us electronic noise and beat madness to round things up and create a diverse sounding listening experience

part 2 of the simple, maybe release reveals the dark side of the brothers schwarz. yeah ought to be taken literally. batten down the hatches and turn up the volume, here comes a true masterpiece. naturally, tiefschwarz have saved the banger until last. there are not many tracks out there, which make you get up and dance after two bars already. the basis of yeah is a perfectly orchestrated drum beat. a steady bass drum, rolling toms, a crisp snare, all together powered by a low-pitch synth sample in the background. a sound, that is as offensive and sentimental as possible at the same time. add a well-filtered choir sample on top and you get a deepness and amplitude that can only be mastered by the finest soundsystems on the planet. like looking through a burning glass, the break shows what tiefschwarz are really all about with this track: gradually, all sound elements are shut down, overlayed by white noise that comes with goosebumps guarantee. this spring, youll better be on the dancefloor, when the drums set in again! deininger on the b-side is an almost gloomy track, driven by a dark deep-house bass line. once again, tiefschwarz play with a wide range of elements: an off-beat synth wind section, dry tinker bells and sliced vocals, well-orchestrated by a fine mix. all together this creates the perfect atmosphere for a monday morning sun rise. exhausted, dried-out, longing for your bed and a glass of water, yet at the same time not wanting to go home. great music got soul, the perfect balance, that keeps the heart pumping and the body dancing. deininger is about this certain temper, the groove, that makes you carry on.

first making waves after being played by sasha & digweed at wmc 2008, lalalalalala became something of an unsung classic with a simple yet unforgettable vocal. here, james harcourt produces a no nonsense dancefloor killer of a remix. starting deep, the track builds with an irresistible groove. the breakdown strips down to a pad, brings the guitars and synths from the original mix and builds to a massive crescendo and drop. on the flip, neoteric follows up his brilliant imprecation single on twisted frequency with a more intricate, musical take on the track. full of energy and emotion, this is progressive house at its finest.

fine arranged melodies from multiple sound sources, as stated in his biography, are the building blocks of which daniel mehlhart considers to be the essence of good music. putting what he preaches into practice has affirmed the 22-year-old swiss born, frankfurt am main resident, as one of the most exciting new talents in the underground tech-house movement. his most acclaimed release was the harp-tinged origami, released last summer on kindisch, which catapulted him into the record bags and charts of a slew of seasoned djs during the end of last summer. >scharade< is an example of young daniel sticking to what he does best, mixing and blending techno. atmospheres and sonic images while still animating an organic and natural vibe over the tracks. liberal amounts of percussion and a middle eastern or asian vocal dramatically pitched this tune beyond recognition watermark with a style and a vibe that he has helped to advance. the house roots of >distracted conscience< are present right from the onset. using a double pump kick to inject a pinch more of energy into the already flourishing habitat of off-kilter and spooky sound effects. so many in fact it is easy to see how he came up with the name, >distracted conscience<, as there are more effects floating around in this track than thoughts in the head of an 8-year-old who forgot his daily dose of ritalin. he turns to an ethnic vocal on >alura< again, but keeping the overall mood of this outing a bit deeper. he pulls out even more percussion instruments including extra shakers, toms and bongos all marching along harmoniously. this is a head down, hands-up, side-to-side bopper that just keeps quietly elevating as subtle elements are added and subtracted throughout the duration of the tune. a coherent composition and dj tool all in one. although this is his second release there are no signs of a sophomore slump anywhere in site, as daniel mehlharts talent lies in his unique, but subtle ability to gel different eleme

after several months of underground pressure the orbital classic kinetic by golden girls (paul & phil hartnoll along with mike hazell) is finally getting a full release. one of the most ecstatic rave stabs ever is at the heart of this record and has now been reworked for 09 dancefloors by floorplay music - the label run by hot brighton production duo prok & fitch. the story began a year ago with prok & fitchs golden shower remix. instead of going down the bootleg or cover route they paid their dues and licensed the original track for their new label floorplay and set about getting some hot names to remix it. top of the pile is atfc who takes the original and gives it a tough house makeover. this man has been responsible for a few classic records of his own over the years so this combination is unstoppable. with the original orbital mix included this is an all time classic tastefully revisited.

a track is a track, is a track is a track. but not every track is just a track. trackletons stands for much more than just tracks. on his debut ep you wont get to hear the substandard generic ordinary music that can be found everywhere. he has it all. disco, house, minimal, techno, you name it, he brings it. welcoming our latest act >trackleton< with his first appearance in form of his >jump ep< adds a variety of deep styles to this 3-tracker like we have not heard it a long while. the a side is a detroit influenced dance-floor sweeper with melodies so deep and beats so sharp that will leave no escape from making heads turning and get your feet dancing. b1 plays it cool all around the bass-line, laying things down in a old-school sounding manner - minimal to the bone, but done so cleverly to ensure that the basics simply sit right and will get you moving. the b-2 track then surprises you with more than just a hint of disco that will be standing out from the norm and creates a nice diversity. one does not often hear music so warm, on point, deep and yet fully dance-floor oriented

ian pooley makes his debut appearance on simple to kick start what is shaping up to be a bumper year for the label. german ian pooley hails from mainz but recently found a new home in berlin. ian is well known as a remixer and for his own prolific output bridging the gap between techno and house, creating superb tracks such as the massive >celtic cross< & >chord memory< on the force inc. music works, as well as recording more housier and disco orientated workouts for labels such as john acquavivas definitive recordings, effective records and nrk sound division. ian has also remixed for daft punk, the cardigans, the beloved, green velvet, modjo, nick holder and many more. ian has recorded two albums for v2 records, his debut >meridian< was a classic late 90s pooley album, full of tech-house delights and including the massive >whats your number< as remixed by jazzanova and bob sinclair. followed by huge albums >souveniers< and >since then<, and most recently >in other words< featuring robert owens, tim fuller and perry colo. most recently hes been busy djing across the globe, producing new music for the likes of us and producing for artists such as get physicals dj t. nightscape - a deep, heads down house groove that locks you in with its lovingly crafted percussion and beautifully bouncy bassline, whilst the wistful, melancholic pads are food for the soul. ians experience in production shines throughout the ep, making the tracks as much of a delight on the head phones as they are on a function one soundsystem. difference (jupiter/eight mixes) - intricate percussive rhythms combine with a rubbery bassline and rich poly stabs to set the tone. strings build and release the tension and a delicate piano riff brings the soul. the evolution of the patterns sees a heady crescendo for the floor. for the >eight mix< ian reworks the stabs and bass-line and pushes out a more straight ahead groove

tom dazing is an upcoming artist from brussels who has released on mb selektions, heimatmelodie, coincidence, veryverywrongindeed and toysforboys already and with his new ep >black magic< releases his debut on trapez. tom has a powerful production technique and a cool old school appeal which he fuses with modern sound design. his new release features >divulge< and >cable strap< two peak time techno trax with a heavy 303 bassline that will rock all big floors. >divulge< the a-side is destined to be a berghain hit. the track is a monster. its attitude is down to earth... keeps it simple but effective. >cable strap< on the flipside is a new modern version of music that we believe used to be the post chicago sound manifested by robert armani and friends. >cable strap< is a super cool heavy rocker with a siren sound that will turn clubs upside down, joined by delicate use of 303 basslines. >temper< the digital bonus track has more of an atmospheric deep feeling to it! tom has been voted in belgium in the top 10 chart of the best national producers in 2007 and 2008 and was voted into the to chart top 10 national live acts

all these tracks are made for the floor, in other words, made purely fordancing. rather dry compressed but driving beats combined with sweatygrooves work like a charm and the whole mixture goes fluidly anddeliciously down like the very best vintage barolo harvested at the peaktime and offering altogether more testosterone than those blue littlepills. everlasting love! another quality production brought to you bysenator recordings.

- deus ex machina is a snarling, tension-filled track. pacey beats, drawn out builds and rolling snares all combine to provide the perfect footing for the rolling bassline to do its damage. this is a track to set alight the harder, darker sets. que loucura de som (that crazy sound) has a rolling, heads-down vibe with plenty of techno punch. classic sounding warm stabs provide the main hook to carry things along to a trademark mojo twisted breakdown with distorted sirens spinning things out

played by mathias kaden (freude am tanzen) // it s always good to start the new year with something special and in this case it s the release of the >underground railroad< 12inch from soulphiction. while his last album >do you overstand?< on berlins sonar kollektiv as well as his infamous remix for ian simmonds >whos blues< on musik krause is still in mind he went straight ahead on the work for his upcoming album… so >underground railroad< prepares us for his new lp coming in autumn 2009 on philpot! three tracks to choose from,>underground railroad , a lo-end house track with a thick atmosphere rooted in jazz… on the flip the first track is called < things to get by , a reminiscence to the classics, timeless house music to the bone! to round that up the last track >regrets< is a stripped down percussion tool, an >instrumental version< of the original contained on the album. enjoy!

claque musique present their fifth release, which is a technoid gem from hugo (already responsible for the brilliant third 12 inch on the label, entitled born to bop) called strobo revenge. another zany electronic bullet that is destined to cause mayhem on dancefloors worldwide! on the a side, jumping beats, vocal mirages and compressed synths create the groove on the original mix of the title track. a fizzing bassline and echoing whistles enter later on and they give the track a slice of claque musique zaniness. a2, prismatic visual, is a powerful floor filler, which is slightly less crazy then its musical partner. hugo uses dependable percussion, watery synth action and inviting vocals to create this musical treat. on the flip side, carola pisaturo brings us a moody version of strobo revenge that squeezes something else out of those whistles. she employs heads down percussion, vocal shards and smooth synths on her version. portable/bodycode heightens the intensity with a jackin rerub that sends the track in another direction completely. marching beats, acidic synths and hollow bass drops work wonders on abrahams revision

first vinyl pressing of twin infinitives since the original vinyl issue in 1990. after moving to san francisco, royal trux released the highly experimental double album twin infinitives. this album remains an extreme work on the periphery of rock music, worthy of being compared to lou reeds metal machine music and suicides debut album. at only four subdivided tracks, none of which clock in under 15 minutes, the record has plenty of time to weave a mesmerizing web that is sometimes menacing, sometimes startling. for all of its high brow allusions, twin infinitives nearly reeks of vice, a dark, sordid feel pervades the record, and the listener can almost picture the band recording in a filthy apartment in the middle of the night in various states of intoxication and debauchery.
