for flash lützenkirchen delivers three very classy dancefloor burners. first up there is >enter the moonlight<, an enchanting piece of thumping peak time business. a big bass, pumping beats and some great oriental sounds combined with far-out effects create a unique atmosphere. modern styles meet oldskool feelings! >on the shore< is even more oldskool than that. the fat and wobbly bassline pushes the track forward and creates the perfect antagonism to the warm effects and clicky minimal beats. the highlight - however - is the wonderfully written melodic piano piece that turns this track from wicked into wow! beautiful and tough, oldskool and fresh, slick and funky - all at the same time. this one is going to be huge. listen for yourself! at last there is >pokemon companion<, a more direct and solid piece of minimal tech. a drum’n bass like powerfully grumbling bass, and yet another memorable synthie pattern that seems to grow out of the buzzing loop like a spring flower out of wet grass - naturally and wonderful!

mn2s prepare for another wmc anthem by presenting this collaboration with danism and true soul diva kathy brown. light up my life has classic written it all over, making full use of kathys soaring vocals this powerful performance is sure to make more than waves at this years wmc. kathy brown, one of house musics true divas, has worked with the cream of the house music crop. arguably her biggest hit in recent times was the international smash, strings of life (stronger on my own), produced by award winning production duo soul central. her powerful performance in light up my life ensures that the track will be hammered in the miami sun this year. whilst the original mix features those unmistakable danism beats and kathy browns beautiful voice the audiowhores dub presents pounding drums and is a much darker, main room mix. in contrast to this dj la roi delivers a much more garage inspired, sweeter take on the soulful classic. following up the success of commended releases such as truth is, mesmerise and most recently feelin you danism drop yet another scorcher on mn2s.

three new tracks by mix mup on mikrodisko. three musical statements, instead of drawing from a wide range of samples from old vinyl, as he did on his last release >dj of higher quality<, mix mup this time mostly relies on his own voice and an all-in-one sequencer. you can hear his love for raw chicago-acid-house b-sides, his affinity for italodisco and sonic experimentation. this is not about a clean sound and a clear arrangement, the tracks were produced in a moment for the moment. all tracks were produced in a single session, without quantising, without a screen, without a mouse. always with some scepticism and his tongue in his cheek

dopplerefekt-like electro tracks !! a unique collaboration between two electro legends. the master and pioneer of old school electro meets swedens famous electro king for a dark n deep electro excursion into the land of booming 808 s and analogue synths. two continents, two minds, two versions. also bonus beats by the lover, and a faceless mind reconstruction

last summer, the berlin-based producer and well-known remixer chris zippel (who already worked with the pet shop boys, robbie williams or ich & ich) already celebrated his very personal interpretation of modern and complex ambient between zwischen triphop beats and melancholic pop references by his genuine horizon album. with this ep, chillout producer zippel has chosen a way quite unusual for him by taking four tracks of the album, making them compatible for the dancefloor with a number of co-producers and proving that dub is still up-to-date in 2008. the ep starts with an interpretaton of electronic spain recordings producer mangelt: again, a straightforward energy flash between reminiscence and modern club sound, takes on the powerful post acid minimalhouse sound a la steve bug. the dane mike salta turns mirror dawn into deep techhouse dub, and also the schwerin-based downtempo producer andre muelle alias vakuum sounds shows that he is influenced by a timelessly valid unterstanding of dub and fragmented s mples by his version of glacier. finally, the tribal progressive house dub of blade remixed by kling klong impresario namito (berlin), undoubtedly the most famous remixer on this ep, goes right into your hips

stax (abicah soul) and tony loreto team up for this marvelous remix that takes this wonderful timeless song by kenny carvajal to a whole new level, with consuela swaylo ivy vocals being full of passion, coming straight from the soul. this new remix puts the vocals center stage, with the musical backdrop consisting of a deep yet smooth groove, incredible organ ride and classic strings fortifying the sultry feeling, and the added funky ingredients further strengthen the already infectious vibe. the instrumental lets you enjoy the full musical bliss. as a bonus, a beats version is also included.

the album title track >my manifest< shows, that marco stays true to his love for house chords. old school riffs meet energy loaded beats and his dark self-spoken manifest and reveal a new, more technoid face of marc o tool. >the grail< however shows, that he also still knows how to embed harmonies in a club outfit. driving rhythms reminding of the old o tool days, get alternated by an emotional piano breakdown, to finally find their way back into the floating monotony

rob mooney is definately a name you should watch out for! with his first releases on substance, renaissance and punch funk rob delivered a couple of highly respected tech house killers. now the protagonist from portsmouth surprises us with new fresh stuff on alphabet city and delivers us three pumpin and solid tracks. >mask<, the a side track begins where his hit record on substance has stopped. driving and forward going beats with heavy and distinctive, backwards slippin basslines you might not have heart before. ace! but check >tundra< and >together< too

for this landmark fifty release from method, we are treated to a double tracker from label boss keith mcdonnell aka innate. fifty fifty is a slammin tuff progressove workout, with distorted chords & glitchy beats. on the flip beehive is a wiggly bass driven cut with a funky fat guitar drop...both tracks are perfect for today, but with a nod to the sound that launched method 50 releases ago!!!

the 3rd release by scott grooves on his natural midi label, this is scotts first ever ep and color vinyl release. all 4 tracks possess a different mood and distinct raw edge, which plays well on this well balanced ep.track 1 dark blu speaks for itself, simply stated and deeply enriched. the relentless melody never lets go of the groove and the groove never lets go the melody. everything in this track harmonizes together perfectly.track 2 dna definitely disturbs the peace with vintage analog synth sounds. the old school sounding vocal sample echoes thruout the track that >detroit needs analog records< take a listen and decide if that echoes true!track 3 >it doesnt all have to be techy< as the title suggest there is know >techyness< here, its all about a deeply stormin groove that is enriched with warm melodic keys and a lovely guitar, yes i said guitar that altogether creates a feelin thats organic but not boring. track 4 decimalquivers in and out with a fm gritty synth stab, complete with minimal drums or as scott calls them >drims< which is the term scott uses for minimal drums. also present is a deep pad sound that brews slowly like an eruption. co-produced by panther, a name you will hear more about in the future

supported by alex attias (planet e), italoboyz, karotte, sebo k, raresh, d julz, funk d void. michael melchner is barely at the beginning of his twenties. at the moment deep house of the late nineties has to take a shine to him. in the detail it gets clear, that this is not only a copy of an epoch, but a certain vibe, which is going to be transferred into the present. this vibe with his warm sound, the well dosed house beats and a strong musical sense is hearable, but this sounds by no means antiquated. on a-side several instruments like percussions, xylophone and samples of an mexican trumpet make sure that there isn’t only an exiting variety shortly before or after the primetime, but also a proper portion of itchy feet. with the both tracks on the flip-side the whole spectrum of michael melchner becomes clear, at the one hand a clear view on the dance floor with classical house beats and on the other hand a musical character, which one misses in many current productions. >chen chen< is slightly more co plicated and more rhythmic whilst >nothing happened< is a pleasing leaned back dramaturgical subtle house piece with a distinctive bass line and interspersed voice samples.

incl remixes by peter kruder, dave da gato, nwachukwu!! mixture between nu jazz beats, downtempo, latin flavoured minimal house, breaks and electro

opener >playing for keeps< is an exhilarating trip, centered around a swinging mapped by crunching beats. chopped and skewed, pulsing electro house melodies fight for attention with sampled cuts of big band, tiring to a slow and heavy halt before picking themselves up and punching it out to close. >playing for daddy’s girl< is an equally agitated reprise, introducing distorted 8-bit melodic tones and a throbbing deep bass into the fray as a sampled audience cheers on the ensuing battle for the listeners attention. on the b side, the mole transforms >playing for keeps< into a driving house number, with subtly escalating melodic synth growing into a deep and hypnotic dark electro sweat fest

after the successful sunchase 12, luxaflex keeps pushing the beats. hollands freshest imprint proudly presents jelle kuipers! a massive talent heading from the netherlands already gaining serious attention with his debut ep block on shadowfax. for this ep hebrings us domien, a filthy futuristic crawler with a catch you can t hide from. on the a side no less than rino cerrone gives domien a rework, now this is a mint production that has funk written alover it

straight from the pink slow studio, david garcet strikes us with 4 new cuts. the a1 is simply said a good floorfiller. expect some straight forward beats and percussion work with that characteristic bleepy synth line being used to full effect. the >monday mix< is yet pretty mellow. the synths have come down a bit and the arpeggios are more upfront for that melancholic vibe.

dark but somehow funky techno killer. after having massive support from all the major players during 2007 (hawtin, garnier, 2000 & one, mr. c, wink, troy pierce), esperanza strikes back in 2008 with the comeback of franco cinelli to the label. franco introduces us two oldschool infused bombs with intricate sounds that won t go out of your mind for a long time.

francesco assenza and dlo are fresh to the scene with just a couple of records out on unpolite recordings. that they are big talents they proof here on the 6th release of the very succesfull minisketch 10inch series. on the a-side we hear deep pulsating beats with a groovin drive that just make you want to wobble. the flip is even funkier with a smooth driving bassline

phonogenics >postcard< is slow burner, building and rising to a eventual climax of melancholic underwater deepness. this song will no doubt be played by those in the later time slots and anyone who wants to add a little journey to their mixes. our main man dex aka dave barker is back with another slice of some quality melodic quirky goodness. >yikes!< has a very chopped up funk/soul feel mixed with solid house beats. studio trickery and a hidden japanese opera helps the track evolve from its soulful beginning to another world entirely. finally, we are very pleased to bring you the first of many musical efforts from amantu wilde. not much is known about amantu as he is a bit of a recluse and does not offer up much information about himself. >g-g-got my eyes on you< is a very retro sounding track reminiscent of some classic new wave jams. pseudo industrial percussion and excellent filter work make this track something to remember. something strange for sure but we think people will like the break from the mod rn sounds

mo rotation is the next step in the history of westpark units 80s funk influences they started with blaxrotation and fits well within the sound of today! always sexy, dope, deep & dubby. proper thang is as deep as jeep and builds up in the typical westpark unit style with some demanding but tricky drumpatterns and a wicked bassline. to surprise, the duo added some old school snippets into the drop, put them into a different context and present a jewel of a bangin deep house tune with one of the most enthusiastic moments when the beats come back in. mo rotation sets up with just some shakers, a demanding percussion loop, a booming bass and needs almost 5 minutes to get things started. when the bassdrum finally drops in, the club is already near ecstasy while the music takes a small step from 1983 to 2008 and a deep masterpiece
