after a long time friendship and countless over-the-top partycrashes together, we are very happy to welcome our friend and one of our fave djs, mr. jens bond on highgrade. after his vinyl debut with guido schneider on steve bugs pokerflat recordings last year this is jens bond s second record to hit the streets. jens, who managed to establish himself as one of the true top djs within the berlin house scene, delivers a 12inch which represents his musical (and spinning) style of electronic dancemusic very well - dry, compulsive grooves, a very minimal-housy structure with deep aesthetics, perfect sound design and an overall superb float between the hard and the soft, exactly what we wanted from this guy and more!

if there is one overall trend to spot in the wide fields of electronic music over the last years, it is the reversion to emotion. in a time where tracks are becoming more and more anonymous tools, melodies, references to pop music and recognition are seen as a design element and not as a blemish. to be honest, this recurrence was desperately needed, because music was always at best when feelings and not the mathematic of clicks were at the centre of attention. soda inc. reached this point of intersection already with their debut album >full moon< one and a half years ago. with intense anthems such as flight su 118 babak shayan and jon silva have created the deepest and most pictorial vision dub related techhouse had to offer to our hearts and souls. a solid basis to build up for the early summer of 2006....

>through the door< is a classic chacona production - atmospheric space funk, combining more synths than a jean michel jarre stage show, solid disco beats and eyes firmly on the dancefloor. imagine lindstrom on disco biscuits and you get the idea. >the next< wears its italo influences on its sleeve, and will appeal to fans of francisco, morgan geist and chicken lips. the disco synths return (he loves his synths!) and ride over shuffling percussion, a rubbery bass and build into an epic piece of 21st. century disco

real life testing reveals it all, therefore we have nothing to add to serafin s comment about the a side: >i have been playing this in virtually every set for the past couple of weeks, and the reaction of the crowds is simply amazing. this performs extremely well in a club setting, it sounds perfect (and loud!) on every system and people are responding to it instantly. i often extend this with the loop machine to well over 10 minutes, with an absolutely devastating effect. this is a bomb, trust me on this one!< on the flip switzerland s premier dirt funker agnès delivers one of his nasty treatments. the sthlm audio head pulls all the stops on this one: bass action from below underground, weird noises and nicely shuffled hihats compose a charming and warm piece of music, carrying a strange and deep atmosphere!

multi vitamins gives birth to its third baby, mv 03: 4 tracks, 2 brains, conceiving some of the freshest and most forward thinking expressions in nowadays electronic dance music. sebastian russell leads you to some exotic, fascinating and still dopy territories. den adds some japanese folk to his cyber-minimal style. sebastian s misbehave breaks in with a reverberating crash and a rapping sample. to follow, while a low-fi soul penetrating bass line keeps the hips shaking, the combination of twisted mechanics, computer sounds with thirst-quenching vocals creates a mixed effect of drunkness and sensuality. sebastian s fusion of contrasting elements follows with chinese squid, where the warm melody of a canang ibu floats over a line of raw funked-up drums. den s sister 1 represents the most minimal piece of mv 03 dance output, characterised by a solid 4/4 bass kick, ultra filtered hi-hats and glitchy subtle electronic textures. n 23 to the beach is featured by a heavy slow-pi ched kick, spaced out with drills and chirurgical noises. a female vocal pattern kicks in humble, but after a hiccupping stage, the geisha is on fire

new get physical sublabel !! these tracks are powerful and somewhat sinister affairs that make most sense when experienced as a blinding strobe light cuts through the back drop of dry ice in a darkened club.marsha sets a completely different tone. its still based on the same blend of windy city funk and intricate electronic rhythms, but the way that the seductive, chiming chords and dreamy break down unfold over the steely drums suggest that einzelkind has fallen in love. certainly, itll be hard not to be seduced by this layered, evocative track, especially if you hear it after a long night spent listening to intense techno.so there you have it: get physical has dragged a new label, kindisch. kicking and screaming into this world: let it be the place where you go to get all your teenage kicks!
