vinyl only release !! story is a freshly squeezed label from germany. say hello to a label, run with passion and witness the birth of a beautiful and deep houseimprint. you wont find any artistnames on our records, we do not feel the need to let you know who did the record and so do the artists who contribute tracks. the only important thing is, they produced these tracks, full of understanding and with a great love for housemusic. let the story begin and let us tell you something about our history. story 01.

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..

the flame recordings is proud to announce heimat 35! this is the name of the new ep from the top italian dj and producer andrea fiorito, a lot of experience on stage mixed with a touch of class like few artists untill now. in this work he puted together his passion for swing music from 1920-1940s with a super house groove. the result is something he likes to call swinging cabaret house in the a side. about b1 side andrea fiorito likes to play with some chicago old school techno elements and jazz organs mixed with strong native percussions. b2 imagine to make a trip in america latina, some strong cuban influences together with funk bassline to let you dance when the sun is shining!

without a doubt, chicago native huge hephner has garnered quite the reputation as an international playboy - pimpin and whorin his way into the electronic music worlds stream of consciousness. however, behind the tough guy persona is a highly underrated producer with an unbridled passion for music and love of the analog gear he uses to produce such increasingly in-demand sounds. it is this perversion that lends meaning to the title of his debut album, nymphotech, released on none other than the label that helped launch his career, siteholder records. unflinching in its house vibe, yet relentless in its dance floor attack, nymphotech is a highly impressive debut album by a producer who continues to up his game with each successive release. hephner kicks off part one of a two-part vinyl album sampler with the chugging acid burner sharing the same title as the album. nothing less than 4 a.m. packed club material, to play nympotech at any other time would be a failure to recognize this bombs full potential. jack n coke is undoubtedly huges nod to his hometowns house legacy, showcasing a flirtatious bass line that screams funk in all caps. wheres the acid? fans of hephner might ask. leave that up to freaky $ean da don, featuring the vocal debut of huges body guard and reputed hitman who bears the same name as the tracks title. if nymphotech is any indication of whats to come from mr. hephner, we can only hope huge will manage to stay out of jail long enough to produce a follow-up

essential tech-house interpretation of the jazz standard! tip ! at the core of >take five< is a warm, fluttering piano loop that wouldnt sound out of place on a nina simone record. around these rich, faintly jazzy chords, jona builds a thrillingly direct, percussive track which nods to the passion and polish of classic 90s house music. a shuffling snare pattern and a tough, buoyant kickdrum combine with the keys to give the dancefloor a workout it wont forget. this is smart, optimistic stuff from jona, a ready-made soundtrack for hands in the air at late summers parties. >sunset< is a darker but no less seductive affair. its skeleton is a supple, minimalist groove, undercut with a raw, rangy bassline, and topped by tight snares and a steady, sibilant rush of hi-hats.

>baby show up< shows olivers strength in crafting a vivacious floor-rocking beat, with a deeply cavernous kick and sharp stabs forming the groove before simply gripping synth melody gives the track a sparsely wistful atmosphere. as the bass bounces the track along, a precisely executed break leaves no doubt as to the peak-time quality inherent in this production. >baby show up – elegant universe remix< demonstrates the appropriate name of these young remixers, with a track that falls nothing short of a nearmasterpiece. textured melodic soundscapes float gently over an entrancing and slowly lumbering bass-kick combo, purveying a level of passion rarely found in such a graceful piece

back in 1993 munichs into somethin crew started a clubnight entitled maiden voyage. the idea behind it was simple while the successful weekly into somethin sessions set up by michael reinboth, florian keller and theo thoennessen in 1989 kept on providing a take on the current state of dancemusic from a jazz djs point of view the guys wanted to etablish another night dedicated strictly to the classics. jazz, soul, brasil, boogie and disco have been on the musical menu at maiden voyage ever since. michael reinboth and florian keller still love to play a set at maiden voyage every now and then but both guys left the ships bridge to concentrate on their variety of other projects in the late 90s. theo and rainer were joined by roland appel of fauna flash, trüby trio and voom:voom fame instead to form the infamous threepiece that kept on keeping on ever since

i dont have much to say about the dahlbacks. jesper is one of my best friends, even though he is a serious pain in the ass. john made 6 records in the time it took you to read this sentence....and he just turned 11. every once in a while they take about 40minutes out of their hectic schedule (john stops making records...to make a record, while jesper take s a break from the grueling demands of being a condo association manager) to make a record for turbo. in all honesty i think they give me the tracks they forgot about..... cuz you know if they really loved them they would keep them for their own lame labels. so, instead i leave you with the music. 3 tracks that prove again that somehow, against all odds, when you put cousins in a studio they bring out the best in each other. jespers maverick genius and time-honed wisdom tempers johns youthful passion and naive exuberance.. while johns youngbrain redefines the game and reenergizes the old master. the two cousins locked in a dance that continually blurs the lines between student and teacher, a sonic sibling rivalry a musical match with one clear winner ....you!!

lophi is the combination of loth de luca & philip flindt, they met eachother at a n.y.e party in 2001. they quickly found out that they shared the same passion for dirty electronic music. the sound that makes up the rather unique lophi sound, is a mixture of de lucas long lasting love affair with the darker and more minimal beat. combined with flindts flair for dancefriendly music and his craving for the melodic themes, you are left with pure audio eargasms

support by chloe & jennifer cardini !! actually, a tragic fact that the two label owners of sub static never enriched the own catalogue with a cooperation, but then again, there was no time, passion, and maybe also the right tracks hadn t come yet. now we found them, the ideal components, and thus this split- ep succeeds to involve both sides of the same medallion in an extremely animated conversation, which also the party benefits from. a real brocksieper starts off the record, with that slinky, permanent groove which everyone likes to ride on, as it s making you look well on the floors which signify the world. then the flipside laxly continues where just hopped, speak: a little bell rings, the beats pose, the shiny side always in the floodlight. however, the mood changes - functionality mutates to emotiveness, the music floats differently. this can only be m.i.a., who still disassembles sounds with never known precision, gets ideas in order, simply generates funk. so the tone is given for the next techno season, thanks for that

nice price deal !!! well known classic tracks and recent top hits mashed up in 3 cool re rubs a must have
