j gorton is a seattle based producer and dj who has drawn on his vast knowledge of discos dark underbelly to put together these outstanding edits of lesser known, but no less wonderful cuts from the heyday. his informative and well respected american athlete blog has become an addictive and invaluable resource for all eager disciples of the good groove, shining a light on the often forgotten tracks which fell between the cracks of the mirrorball. cabana disco vol. 01, is the first in a series of ridiculously limted (200 copies) 12s. the series starts off with mr. les stache reworking three amazing rarities which include gepy & gepys 1979 disco classic african love song, alongside this sits an obscure cut from kurt hauensteins (of supermax) late 70s disco group bamboo, as well as the 1979 mid-tempo cosmic disco classic livin in the jungle by john tropea. this is an absolute essential for any disco enthusiast.

limited edition - clear vinyl 300 copies - amplified people is a personal story vision of pop with electronic music proposals. not dj nor clubber, frederic verdier didn’t live if the first free parties experiences nor dancefloor revelations, he’s only under vinyls and cds effect. his meeting with krikor and the netlabel valiza tools gives him a chance to appear on the collector cd >musique jetable< and then to release its first ep “tough guys don’t dance” in 2004. one year later he meets up the label od records which produces its second ep >ford capri< in rather minimal-house mood. on this same label, house of dick voodoo, ascii disco, heko, and mondwest, amplified people is now more influenced by club and mental. he releases its third ep >cannon jack<, masterised by laurent ho

transmitting from the heart of the american midwest, skoozbot has rapidly gained a reputation for insightful techno futurism. his main preoccupation focuses on the interaction between humans and technology, especially the ability to capture split second emotions, recreate them using electronic sounds and then play them out over a six minute track, letting them evolve naturally albeit in sometimes unexpected directions. the rising sap contains a selection of tracks written during the transition from winter to spring as life returns to the surface of the planet bringing with it the most vibrant sensory experiences. in a sense these colours, fragrances and forms allow us to transcend time through memories and association and skoozbot is driven to capture these precious fragments and examine them from all angles in the suspended animation that the minimal techno environment so perfectly creates.

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.

sexplosion, the new ep from lenfant terrible of sophisticated techno, seth troxler-here recording under his debauched alter ego sex trothler-is a complex, multifaceted, and yet decidedly horny affair. these are the sounds of doing unspeakable and anonymous things to girls in dark backrooms and being too confident to regret it the next day…the sounds of your favorite sexual memory transformed by your overactive fantasy life into scenes of utter perversion. the first track, jusyour, combines troxlers signature use of the classic, organic sounds of detroit house and techno with an avant-garde, fragmented, almost mournful sensibility. its a contemporary jack track as appropriate for a dark, seedy club as it is for an afterparty orgy on your friends broken futon. its almost as if music could yearn and sweat and think all at once. its followed by a brief vocal internude to remind you that being a good lover always means having enough of a sense of humor to laugh at other people laughing at yourself. think tinkertoys meets the wu-tang clans black shampoo. humor aside, the final track, face, utilizes airy percussion and deep, almost cinematic chords (reminiscent of troxlers remix for another precious youth, nicolaas jar on new yorks wolf+lamb label). its masterful and restrained use of processed vocals manages to leave behind so much of the pointless darkness that has plagued techno, whether minimal or otherwise. it builds slowly yet aggressively, like a hard, focused grind with someone you cant actually even really stand. this is music for people whose time at art school was spent getting naked and not hating themselves for it.

dortmunds very own ‚diskobär, the inimitable ante perry prepares for new double cd long-player extravaganza , flashing disco sounds, with two cuts exclusively produced with close studio comrades tube & berger. these hot co-productions between the long-time buddies simply cannot fail to get the party going. the overwhelming anthemic stir of human you is evident for the very start, but its true dancefloor potential can only be understood after the full ecstatic wonder of the breakdown pours out over a large crowd. super-constructed tech-discohouse is where its at in this high intensity, high drama, big room flashing disco monster. the curiously titled walthervondervogelweide on the other hand is a more brooding beast altogether. working the underlying tension and keeping the pressure tightly locked to the floor its a dangerous late night dancefloor workout... left in the wrong hands this could seriously damage your ability to leave the dancefloor! finally fellow dortmund heavy-calibre producer peter jürgens works his remixing magic and twists human you into a housed up, long building affair that operates on a more stripped, subterranean level to begin with but bursts out above ground with carefully timed energy. warm driving beats and pads layer to reveal the identifying melody of the original.

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..

part of a new breed of detroit techno, we are delighted to announce ryan crossons debut wagon repair ep. having already released on trapez, telegraph and m_nus under his alias berg nixon, ryans floor friendly live sets and shuffled percussive styles are getting many excited, with due cause. a side ‘confiteria del molino is a bassy and deep bomb. introducing itself with eerie warped vocals and strutting beats, dynamic melodic tones hover above a subtle synth progression. enlivened by stabbed horn samples, percussion and booming bass is key to this tracks heavyweight strength. b1 ‘sunshine wave is slightly lighter, opening with a bouncing melody and chattering percussion. a huge bass sound opens things up, accented by needling synth and fueled by a classic prodding techno kick. to close, ‘use me up bubbles with melodic tone and stuttering crackled samples. subtly progressing to a simple beat and rumbling bass, distorted vocal arrangements haunt the mix as flighty pads howl in the distance

its house but not as we know it! young david, aka dave young, chose his artist name as a reminder of what it said on his office door before he took some time out in the summer of 2006. swapping the office for what an estate agent might describe as a cosy basement studio in stockholm, he now sits around making beats all day the fuji ep is musical adventure. bridging the gap between soulful and minimal and blending crunchy mid-tempo party beats with intoxicating two-tone, jazz and dub flavours. equally at home on the dance floor, ipod or lounge stereo, the tracks have a sense of space and depth and, above all, a real musicality which comes not (only) from the pushing of a few buttons, but from a lifelong quest

!!!!!!strictly limited to 500 copies!!!!!! together with stefan goldmanns debut cd the transitory state, macro releases a strictly limited box set containing five 7? records holding the electroacoustic album voices of the dead. with his releases for innervisions, perlon and macro stefan goldmann has been a key figure at the cutting edge of post minimal techno and the renewal of house music. this album is a distinctively different affair though, reaching far beyond the scope of dancefloor electronics. starting a trilogy of concept albums, stefan goldmann searches for the common root of all music in an electroacoustic setting. from this album turret is already renowned as the intro sequence of richie hawtins groundbreaking de9 transitions mix compilation and was also commissioned by the biblioteque nationale de france for the imeb phonoteque public collection. the artist explains: at first sight we recognise upfront elements like a melody or rhythmic pattern, which we associate with a certain piece or style of music, but there is tension between two notes, hard-to-define background information that at a closer look is found everywhere - within the music of coltrane and stravinsky, death metal and 9th century byzantine chants. if there is anything like a total, secret common ground, than its this information lurking in the background. these are the voices of the dead, the heritage of an endless line of ancestors brought forward through the centuries. i tried to make these elements audible as clearly as possible. really like this weird space ambient one. ive put katorga and izo already into my final scratch computer and have been playing them! (richie hawtin on voices of the dead) record release event at berghain / panorama bar berlin on september 4th, 2008, feat. ricardo villalobos, mika vainio (pan sonic) and ulrich schnauss (tbc).
