following up their releases on composite records and indigo raw, parham shafti & dominic plaza, aka the quantum mechanics, are back with their second installment on the relaunched unfokused music. here the duos mission to explain the unexplainable continues with two new outstanding cuts, release room and mind tricks. on the remix side, the mighty sasse and his partner in late night crime, the notorious james flavour (also known as one half of dirt crew) join in to show us their tricks. with their combined experience the two elegantly take on where the original leaves you and aim straight for a heart trick that resembles us of moody dancefloor moments from early 90s, modified to take place in a near future.

proper, dark techno ep with roots in 80s industrial, ebm, new beat ...

a little over year after its foundation, reaktivate achieves one of its 1st major goals: to put out a release in a tangible, physical format. even though the label tries to put the same care into each of its releases, independently of the final form it takes, as we believe in making the music acessible to as many people as possible, we realize that entering the vinyl market is a decisive step in the showing of commitment and belief in what we do and the artists we support, to the scene at large. for this landmark release, rkt upholds its tendency to be a platform that combines both newcomers and established artists in techno. up and coming colombian talent daniel restrepo (astronomical telegram) represents a strong bet that we feel is justified, and here he is met by three (well, actually four) artists with proven track records in modern techno with an eye beyond the functional.

autumn days are coming quite near and with >jahreszwei< – an ambient tape by berlin based artist the marx trukker – we deliver the soundtrack for that more thoughtful time of the year. as the 4-track ep is put together chronological (starting with the track that was produced last), the a-side is more dark and dusty (roughly produced beginning of autumn with an electric bass, an old portastudio and loads of forbidden recording-techniques) while the b-side shines a bit brighter and lighter (produced digital end of summer, concentrating on the dave smith evolver synthesizer only). so take a walk through a forest next to you and enjoy the beautiful autumn-nature while having >jahreszwei< on your ears!

new years deal - behind the highway, near the industrial area, next to the airport, somewhere in the innercity, urban principles fall apart. that leaves the enclaves, mono functionalism and an urban ultra density that local governments are struggling to eradicate. both a cage and a cocoon, there is a space where development opportunities hit the wall. hybrid places that combines urban collapse and >the new culture<, endemic violence and solidarity, all of which is left to the communities to deal with without outside help. when the post-industrial economy becomes sporadic and nothing else takes shape, man is left at the mercy of his environment. techno appears and becomes a parallel between man and the city, as another faceless entity which unifies them. this unity is the result and techno is the process.

>the fall of the empire< is a tough and unyielding release that continues both pfirter and mindtrip s run of form. >the fall of the empire is imminent< is raw, powerful and tightly wound. it holds an almost familiar sound, something that brings memories of techno from years gone by, but with the added depth, intricacy and attention to details that juan pablo pfirter lends to all his productions. markus suckut remixes on mt-02 and brings his stripped sound to his rework of >multiverse<. keeping things simplistic and functional, markus finds the groove, toying with bass throughout the track and letting the loop run for near seven minutes, gently tweaking fx and eq in the light-handed and tender manner he become known for.

this vinyl is the product of a scottish east coast education: it is borne from the gals, the gales, the gaels and the guile that derives from a lifetime’s overindulgence thereof

my man by the american dj aakmael house mixx right here for you, sure thing. support by scott groove detroit. peace. on the recommendation of mr larry heard, george kagais sun of the suns mother land. one of his first track let you know that he made this track the year of 2000 his track methaphysical vibe played by danny tenaglia. futurisms cd on tommy boy. a dj since 92. the beginning for bugnology3 steve bug ? you know. check also the b side. massive. laidback porny usual jazzy hipster drumbeat-jazzy thing with on his third wax track of the season mannmademusic, the slow motion early or totally late night, or whenever you want baby, oh yeah. england north east place called sunderland near newcastle. and you know what? paradice is closing those marvelous, without a kick drum, shaking heads all around on the snare thing. how delighted could we do more, than getting this record played all around the world for the greatness of life. lets celebrate, the second welcome back to the underground release. the vinyl cover is hand stamped with the a logo designed by street art painter: william thelineau.

as obvious as techno and houses heavy influence is on 3024, one of the most consistent reference points has been the machine soul emanating from the city of detroit for the last 30 odd years. we will spare you yet another euro-centric pseudo-sociology lecture but the combination of geography, economics and community has produced music with an influence has consistently reached far beyond michigan state. for our 17th release 3024 is honoured to continue our trek into the analogue wilderness with another artist heavily inspired by the city, berlins near legendary redshape.

this is the first part (of four) of the much anticipated reissue series of drexciya s early catalogue, marking 20 years since the release of their first ep deep sea dweller , and 10 years since their final album grava 4 . one of the most influential techno acts ever, and part of the heritage of detroits underground resistance, drexciya explored techno like no-one else before: raw and uncompromising music that reflected the harsh environment of the city where drexciya was conceived, with a mythical approach that only added to their cult appeal. drexciya arguably stands for the darker side of techno and electro, made not only for the club scene, but a further development of the music as an expression and extension of the mind. journey of the deep sea dweller is a near-complete collection of their early works, released in four parts, with all audio remastered from the original master tapes. since the original releases have such a strong character and stand on their own, these reissue can never recreate the magic of those originals. instead, clone have stirred up the catalogue, taking tracks out of their original context, giving the committed fan a fresh experience and the new listener a document that is the best possible introduction to the aquatic world of drexciya.

ben payne & joe wills aka the insiders are hardly newjacks in the world of drum&bass music. their collaborative productions have been on legendary imprints across the board and throughout the years. they have consistently represented their brand of forward thinking drum&bass and now we are proud to feature them in the prestige music catalog. the insidersresume boast a succesful monthly in bristol uk and a fresh label imprint under the name intrigue music. after this prestige debut release, one can expect much more from the insiders in the very near future. releasing in november, 2011 for digital download and limited editing vinyl release with all fine music retailers nationwide.

the notorious guillaume & the coutu dumonts makes a triumphant return to circus company after last year’s critically acclaimed album, breaking the fourth wall, with 3 deeper than deep (s)explosions sure to become omnipresent fixtures in the sets of damn near any dj with even a shred of good sense in the months to come. >ubiquitous gaze< gets the ball rolling in classic coutu dumont style with a rollicking sea of percussion thankfully populated with a few desert islands of respite in the form of a gorgeously lush string and piano arrangement and the soft meandering monologue of a certain well known musician discussing his craft. b side leader >youre the one< comes on strong with a bouncing d-town bassline and soft stabbing chords that would make kenny larkin proud before rolling out a high stepping lead organ and swinging vocal chops before tying the whole funky mess together with one of his trademark charging conga lines. known for his unbound generosity and proving it here once again, a beatless stringapella of >ubiquitous gaze< closes out the flip in fine style for those inclined to ride this one into a full epic journey territory. yet more proof, as if any were needed, of guillaumes place at the very top of the mountain called house

further to motor city drum ensembles dj kicks compilation, his exclusive single l.o.v.e. has been reworked by the young detroit prodigy kyle hall, the painter and music creator wolfgang voigt and an excellent remix by smallpeople. kyle has been highly influenced and captivated by the underground deep house sound of detroit. inspired by artists such as theo parrish, mike huckaby, rick wade, 3 chairs, kdj and omar s, who believe their music has a certain feeling of the advant garde and liberation from the so-called rules people place upon dance music. kyle took that principle of their music and applied it to music that he was trying to create. wolfgang voigt is known for his numerous, nearly inexhaustible list of one-off projects and aliases. of these, his best known is arguably >gas< a project that saw the marriage of ambient music and 4/4 techno. his remix of motor citys l.o.v.e shows his minimalistic approach to music he has been famed for worldwide. smallpeople are julius steinhoff & just von ahlefeld aka dionne. smallpeople are focused on a wider range of music and can be diverse- between deep house, detroit techno and some chicago flavours but always within the balance of atmospheric warmth and club suitability bringing yet another perfect addition to this remix package. watch out for more big tunes from smallpeople in the near future

sao paulos techno titan returns. gui boratto needs little introduction - after all he has played pretty much every corner of the globe, placing himself as one of the most in-demand producers and performers in dance music today. its summer and kompakts bomb for the season is about to explode. just in time for his extensive european tour throughout july. the drill embraces the classic kompakt shaffel but delivered in a chalice of class that only gui boratto is capable of drinking from. a roaring bass line that sways side to side in layers of euphoric harmony. bold – brazen. boratto. stems from hell is classic boratto. guitar-esque chording launches this depth charge that is just pure build. tension and release – you sense this track can almost breath on its own. the moments are near perfect in this swelling that reaches a fever pitch right when you think it would never come. there will be more from gui boratto in 2011....stay tuned.

after his guinness world record, the album and the locarno film festival prize-winning feature film ivory tower, the single never stop chosen by apple for their ipad ad and the inter-planetary video hit you can dance with its near 1 million you tube views, the musical genius brings us a limited edition of symphonic spoken word

nice price deal !!! the emergence of (another) very british sound in the form of dubstep some years back now has mutated into something altogether more cerebral. the chain are a product of this incipient sound and the many new strands that have splintered forward from it. dan foat is one half of the team that runs r&s, the newly invigorated label that is back at the forefront of contemporary electronic music. he’s also one half of the chain. dan & nathan boddy have for a while now had a studio near london bridge, which has formed into the r&s engine room, a hub for the second wave of their artists, pariah, james blake, space diimension controller et al who regualrly pass through the basement to drink tea and listen to new tracks.

the x-man has been locked away in the detroit psychiatric hospital for the last 30 years. as his release date drew near ppu had a moment to sit down and talk with the man behind the mask. ppu - how did you end up here? xman - my music style, often described as aggressive funk, was deemed by the state of michigan too mental for the listening public. ppu - what does the x stand for? xman - x is an executioner. ppu - what do you plan to do after your release? xman - i am here to eliminate everyone in funk.

nice price deal !!! begun in 2008 and following the release of their debut single last summer, not squares have carved themselves a name as an incendiary live act playing 2009 festival dates at latitude, leeds and reading in addition to numerous boutique irish festivals. not squares received plenty of national radio play with huw stephens championing them throughout 2009. with a bbc radio 1 introducing maida vale session under their belts and nearing the release of their debut album in september 2010 with dublin-based richter collective, there will be many opportunities to go buckwild with them in a room near you. >release the bees< is the next single out in autumn on pogo recordings in dublin, a driving 8 minute-acid-house-electro-dance-track to assault your ears.

for the 50th release creme goes back to its italo roots to release these two bombs. ofcourse the rotting corpse of italo has been desecrated endlessly over the last few years by predatory hipsters to gain scenepoints, but that doesnt mean there isnt still some joy to be found in the oversatured tearjerking cotton candy sound of true mediteranean peacockery. so it is with some smug gratification that we present to you gino felino. pure, uncut and real to the bone italo - definitely too late for the trend, but perhaps coming soon to an ipad near you. listen and learn, cause none of you clowns roll like the west coast rolls! comes in a ultra neat package!

nemanja nikolic was born in belgrade, serbia. a couple of years ago, he decided to move to sydney for the purpose of audio production studies. rejection and a new world are nemanjas vision of dub techno, evolving pads, reverbs, space and delays. highway of thoughts and the voice of my youth are an attempt of experimental, darker, minimal tracks with lots of sfx, samples from the real world and live instruments. delta funktionen (ann aimee, delsin) appears for the first time on dpress and delivers a top remix of >a new world< that finds its place near the solid techno sound of sandwell district, etiku, ostgut ton.

catcalling from the depths of a city seen from the outside as crumbling, sonic grooves carve a path to the soulful detroit duo known simply as the oliverwho factory. first noticed across the primitive music sharing plateaus of a decade past, the oliverwho factory quickly gained notoriety overseas with a glasgow based distribution, and a keen sense of product importance, releasing rich, mood-driven tracks on vinyl, inspired by and resonating the roots of rock, pop, jazz, and r&b. earth near-silently stumbles with the distinct yet mysterious, funk laden blend of house and techno that oliverwho and shonie c. so naturally provide. like stepping into dreamscapes of unknown desire, the obscure flavor of owf s tunes keeps unconventional beauty and otherworldly adventure at the forefront of this duo s detroit-based soundboard.

all the tracks on this double vinyl demonstrate his innovative approach to music, running the full spectrum from soft ambient interludes to the more uptempo beat trickery. accept manages to combine both extremes and is an apt opening track, demonstrating the two faced nature of aardvarcks productions, highly constructed beats and beautiful melodies. taa baa sounds like it emerged straight out of londons co op, though aardvarck has not been to this broken beat mecca. th #1 is pure ambient bliss and followed by the deep spacious beats of dim. steps is based around a seriously crunched up hip- hop break, think domu scrapping with the funkstorung boys. the original version of zom is track 7 (ignore the tracklisting on the cd) whilst the stunning remix by attica blues tony nwachukwu is actually track no. 17. upset is based around deep raw bass, the structure of the track is created with pin point beat work. flight simulator is a silky smooth journey, proving that aardvarcks beats dont have to be broken. the stuttered synchopated bass stabs of th#3 combined with its fearsome breaks push the edge of the nu jazz envelope and gentle is an uptempo number combining the skip of 2 step with smooth german jazz styles - one for the quirky jerky types on the dancefloor. th#6 is another deep ambient soundscape helping to ease the pressure after the frantic percussion of knet. stampot shows aardvarcks ability to counter fearsome rhythms with melancholy chords, the forward flowing synths float the listener over the near chaotic drum programming. finally, the album closes with the weeping strings and treated piano of anders, bizarrely twisted and warped sonics. one beautiful voyage!

the end of the world is near, only survivors in the city of the future where there is no trace of life, two brothers roam the apocalyptic climate. a war among justice and david guetta has lead to the annihilation of electronic music on earth two years ago ... desert in the city is a call to remind dancefloors of the planet that techno is still the source of the digital world.

nice price deal !!! support by karotte, charles siegling (technasia), gabriel ananda, estroe, frank leicher, chloe, daniel mehlhart. mainrecords continues the search for new talented artists... this time they have a new guy from langenselbold (near frankfurt) called sebastian altstadt...he delivers a deep electro track...release comes around with two remixes by automatt&locke and georgejupiter

this obscure lost soundtrack for an even more obscure (and also lost and never finished) italia violenta cop movie was recently discovered when i bought the dusty reel tapes from a restaurant owner in fiumicino, a seaside town near rome. panter 777 aka il labirinto di roma violenta aka the maze of violence, he told me, was directed by gervasio giardano in 1981 and was considered too (politically) explicit by the movie production company who dropped the project after the first screening. the soundtrack, an explosion of wahwah funk riffs and juicy analog synthesizers, was composed by an obscure band called nacho patrol. the restaurant owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, was one of the band members and composed most of the tracks. (danny wolfers)

also played by sven väth, marco carola, dubfire, richie hawtin, nick curly, loco dice, 2000andone, karotte, monika kruse, d julz... cécille records presents with the italian guy ilario alicante one more fresh talented producer. what you get are perfect peak time monsters paired with a huge emotional markus fix and robert dietz remix. hope you enjoy...

ltd backstock! >every message about new releases from neil landstrumm in the near past regarding the bass-techno seemed to be uncredible an unlikley. but now, his break to produce that kind of electronic music was over with releasing the ...ep on tresor records few weeks ago. so we are just proud to present the following output of neils creative work titeled >the observor< on neue heimat rec., a combination of his famous dark sounds with a deep bass and his new ideas and impressions from this young and exiting millenium. very mighty<

same script as with previous control voltage releases, 2 x 303, 1 x 808, 1 x 909, 2 x blokes on dial and desk duty and this time guest starring a linn lm2 for that fearsome descending snare sound. this one is a big analogue party tune that just keeps on going and is sure to put a wonky grin on a bunch of sweaty faces on a dancefloor near you this summer. also, contrary to a number of reports from a few internet record dealers who seem hell-bent on driving up the price of the first 2 control voltage 12s, they are not quite sold out a source, we havent got many left but there are a few remaining for anyone that needs them

rhythmetic records makes its next move with a groovy tech-house release. adaptor + no rabbits - fish in the kitchen. 2 rhythmetic projects that collaborate again in order to bring some fresh tunes to the dance floor. manuel de lorenzi - sick after holidays. after his release on 8bit recordings he come back to the rhythmetic label with a deep energetic house track with great melodies. b side: lars wickinger - killing joke after his 2nd in a row release on rhythmetic records lars wickinger has become a strong member of the label. with his deep tech-house style he will fill the dance floors and groove the crowd. ntano - hit me. a great track from a greek artist that seems to have still lots to present in the near future!

whilst their debut release i like you is still causing havoc on near by dancefloors, shimon & nixon are proving themselves a force to be reckoned with! the burbling bass of around the edge is destined for sun soaked dancefloors and homegrown festival tents alike. shimons junglist influences are evident, minimal keys sit atop warped synth lines and atmospheric vocals. whitenoise is more the instant club banger, taking a trip to the darker reaches. the omnipotent bassline pulsates its way into your brain and builds to a powerful breakdown then bashing its way back to the jugular

seeking the overwhelming vibration of the genuine sound wave and its profound echo on the soul, kenneth james gibson has spent his career experimenting under a variety of aliases like as many brushstrokes to an ever polymorphic palette - successively releasing as apendics.shuffle, bell gardens, reverse commuter, dubloner, kenneth james g., kj gibbs, bal cath, eight frozen modules, and premature wigÉ the list is long. near to two years after his first incursion on kompakt with his third studio lp the evening falls , gibson returns with in the fields of nothing , his second full-length delivery for the cologne-based imprint.
