big with: davide squillace, lee burridge, steve lawler, laurent garnier, ante perry,katotte,thomas schumacher, shinedoe..italys young odds label has been gathering a lot of support over the last few years with its string of quality tech inspired release featuring artists such as elia casetti orchestra, the dolphins, ajello, luke solomon and alex dolby. this time its the term of duo martin patino and enzo elia to step up with the release of their >metamorfosi di narciso ep<.enzo elias previous release for the likes of one louder berlin and mantra vibes have seen his standing as producer and dj grow at a rapid rate and teaming up with half pervvian partner martin patino.it seems the pair are determined to further make their mark with this outstanding ep of late nicht electronic club cuts.lead track >metamorfosi di narcisio< is a stripped minimal affair that draws you in from the opening bars.sparse and tight drums lay down the base for a slowly building intense track heavy aon percussion and full of a atmosphere despite its simple and spacey arrangement.

die erste hasenreine houseplatte auf bpitch... das rückbesinnungsfieber greift um sich! zander vts house klingt entschlackt, mit hypnotischen bongos und aufreizenden vocalsamples gespickt. stabile angelegenheit für freunde von sascha dive und konsorten. in den koffern/auf den festplatten von ricardo villalobos, loco dice, jay haze, jesse rose, matthew styles, onus Özer.

likely ep is tims first release on tiefschwarzs souvenir label. lead track alike sounds like ivan smagghe jamming with richie hawtin in a warehouse rave in london, skirting a line between futuristic tech house and discerning electro. a live bassline holds down the groove as a trickling bleepy melody develops throughout the track. as more and more layers of elaborate sonic trickery are laid down, a driving snare jacks out the groove further before a series of effects laden breakdowns tighten the tension further and further. cowbells take the second phase of the track ever taughter before the groove emerges into a stabbing hook and pulsating synth noises that drive the dancefloor into blissed out oblivion. subtle vocals tease the ears in the background of the final strung out breakdown, never quite dominating the tune before the jacking bass and kick drop back in. ‘unlike shares a similar vibe for mixing live instruments with plug in madness. live sounding bassline and guitar lines open the track and roll out the groove before the main synth hook takes over. as the track rolls in and out of its breakdowns it lurches between reverb heavy, bleepy chaos and futuristic rhythms. think depeche mode writing an experimental instrumental on the moon in 2012 and youre halfway there. like many french artists these days tim lives and works in london and also collaborates with fellow frenchies ivan smagghe and dante eprom. he first caught the attention of vinyl sleuths with his excellent remix of db (8)s future now in 2004 and now runs his own label marketing music as well as pushing the boundaries of spacey electro flavoured tech house with his own solo material.

this project is a showcase of ians most recent club tracks and all appear in there original mixes. crank this, is a seriously heavy club tune. budapest, has a middle eastern vibes (hence the title) and has wobbly, wonky bass as well as a distinct break beat kick drum pattern. finally the much talked about everything & nothing, the title track of this ep sees ian going down a melodic & uplifting pryda influenced route.

our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year..

jorge has been a central figure on the latin-american musical stage since the 80s-first as the co-founder of chiles beloved political rockers los prisioneros, then as a restlessly inventive solo musician and as one half of gonzálo martínez, the experimental electronic duo with dandy jack (martin schopf). now based in mexico city and working alongside loreto otero, jorge presents los updates, a new project combining electro-pop with an unusual approach to minimalist house and techno. designed both as a studio affair and a live performance, los updates expands its collaborative scope by reaching out to a crew of well-known chilean and european musicians who were central to the development of chilean techno in the mid 90s: ricardo villalobos, dandy jack, luciano and tobias freund, all of whom deliver defiantly original remixes across a series of 12-inch singles. tobias. fills the a-side with his remix of >pictures of you< simply one of the most dazzling things youll hear this year. tobias. recent string of work-singles for wagon repair and ostgut ton, as well as remixes for two armadillos and jim rivers-has shown him to be a master of the hypnotic groove, and here he entrances like never before, laying down a stark 808 drum pattern which he threads through dubby keys, analog explosions and liquid bass figures. on the b-side cadenzas luciano is getting late and brings his inimitable touch to the remix of >etting late<. luciano reworks the song into a lean, bleepy groove that marries the cool restraint of vintage dbx to lucianos own effusive style, buoyant and percussive and completely enveloping..

arctic monkeys were already massive way before they inked a deal with domino in june 2005. people obsessing over the songs? sold out gigs full of stage diving nutcases. hardcore fans pressed up against venue windows, just hoping to catch a glimpse such checkpoints have all been ticked. the boys may share a love of the smiths, the clash and the jam, but in no way were the monkeys ready to simply regurgitate the well trodden brit rock path.

dj support by adultnapper & matthias kaden !! cynosure is proud to present the debut ep of one of italys finest house and techno djs, andrea fiorito. hailing from the southern city of bari, andrea brings new warmth to the otherwise ice cold italian house sound and delivers a timeless deep house original. things commence on >moderato mistico< with a subtle tribute to a close a friend that has some serious issues with partying called >boti world<. a stripped down minimal house groove with several different monster bass hooks. a killer bumping, grinding, walking bassline that heats the floor with every change up. but as we all know this is not enough to really push things to the limit, so andrea answers the call and brings the furry with givan on the sax. imagine that moment where things in your night boil over the edge and you begin to loose control. thats when givans post punk style sax attack begins to push things past the threshold of insanity. next we have the lovely >betty loop< feat the sensual voice amelia saul. a layer of percussion a la spring reverb set the pace leading into some piano chords and a giant bass hook that make up the foundation of the groove, laying the sonic rose pedals down for amelias presence to be heard. with a voice sweeter than honey and some twisted lyrics, she creates a sexy yet warped feeling in this track. and of course if the vocals were too much, you can play the dub version >betty goes to gio< and mix your heart out. with >moderato mystico< andrea fiorito lights the deep minmal house flame for cynosure closing the summer releases in style by producing heat that only a southern italian can. howie mangel

the latest release on rising trax is this cheeky little ep from max vangeli. three top draw tracks on show here. >crazed< starts simple yet effective and builds slowly into a big distorted guitar hook before dropping back into a very militant rhythm. >k.e.j.i< is a stripped down prog house number with a wicked groove overlaid with nice stabs and a cool hook. the final track of the ep is >i rock< which begins as a minimal house track then drops with some cool squeaks, bleeps and delayed noises. the stabs turn into a big snyth riff which can only be described as large!

konk is the eagerly awaited new album from the kooks. it is their second album, and the follow up to their hugely successful 2006 debut inside in/inside out which sold some two million copies worldwide and spawned the massive singles she moves in her own way, you dont love me, sofa song, eddies gun, ooh la and na ve. konk was recorded over a six week period at the tail end of 2007 in ray davieskonk studios in north london, plus a week at los angelessound factory. the sessions once again united the group with esteemed producer tony hoffer (beck / air/the fratellis). konk features 12 tracks. theres gap which is classic kooks, and shine on which finds luke exploring hitherto unchartered lyrical territory over the loveliest of melodies. its destined to become another lynchpin in the kooks live set. first single always where i need to be is a tumbling rocker with a do do do, do do do do refrain that might just be the catchiest thing they ve ever done. sway and mr maker are other album highlights.
