for those who thought these remixes would never see the light of day, here they are and let me tell you something : they re hot !! the a-side features swag s hot gloves remixed by bakazou (aka pete herbert). pete s on fire right now and he came up with an awesome italo-disco monster. it s like an apollo space ship: it gets higher and higher and when the original bassline is finally released people go crazy. tried and tested on discerning crowds – success is guaranteed! already licensed to ralph lawson s next fabric mixed cd ! the b-side is equally good, albeit in a different way . swag s hot shoe shuffle dub sounds like those fantastic hypnotic disco dub mixes straight outta 80s nyc. so put on your dancing shoes and get down to the boogie sound

after their great remix for c.y.b. on mylo a few months ago, dominik de leon and marcus kaes (both successful in the german electronic music scene for over a decade now) teamed up againto produce this slamming electro house stomper. on remix duty, we have noel sinnerr (superstar rec.) with a groovy, more housy rework...

dj dealer & lisa millett team up for dancefloor mayhem! youre all i need the anthemic 1st single from the dj dealer joyride album now is unleashed with a full set of mixes. the main mix has had major support in the clubs since wmc and now we are proud to present the entire package. lisa millett destroys the ashford & simpson tune as only she can and with productions/remixes from dj dealer, staffan thorsell & mod, joe dipadova & shea marshall, charles dockins, tony loreto and madueno we are sure you will enjoy this song for many months to come!

originally released on magik muzik, it is now back where it belongs, with umek. the original mix package was a trance djs delight, with mixes from tiesto, oliver lieb and dj montana but to celebrate the return, umek has taken a different route and drafted in a remixer who is in a terrifically rich vein of form right now

burn it out is the second tracker fom this french electro label based in bordeaux & created by le 4 sans, one of the main french electro club where justice, digitalism, boys noize, miss kittin play !! electro scene in bordeaux is really active with producer as bobmo (institubes), strip steve (bnr), adam kesher (disque primeur) and now just a band which is the main artists signed by homework. their 2nd ep is already supported by all the actual electro djs that are in the move.

we present to you the steve angello and sebastian ingrosso remixes of diddy vs. felix da housecats jack u. along with the original classic session, thisedition contains the ultra rare mstrkrft edit of angello and ingrossos rework, which has only been heard previously on the aforementioned the essential mix ofmay 24th, 2008. felix is of course the undisputed king of electro. now thesound he pioneered has been paired with the vocals of grammy award winner, diddy. the full release is receiving upfront support from antoine clamaran,laidback luke, dj dan, bad boy bill and of course pete tong himself. thishistoric recording is reborn through the fresh voices of swedish house mafiasuperstars, angello and ingrosso and reinterpreted for the blog-house set byjesse, aka jfk of mstrkrft/death from above 1979. the result is no less than amodern masterpiece

shifting gears is a stand out track from headthrash. riddled with dj trickery the stanton warriors remix is already creating fever pitch amongst the djs lucky enough to have a copy. a fusion of funk riffs, urgent disco stabs and hip hop vocals driven by one of the warriors trademark basslines. heavy and epic, positive and optimistic. on the flipside rocket soul has the classic signature plump sound from start to finish. reminiscent of their hugely successful system addict and looking like it will rival in popularity. we have upfront copies in store now.

drumcode continues its strive for excellence with this new 2 tracker from one of the hottest techno talents around right now - tony rohr. his recent huge releases for the likes of clink and plus 8 have caused quite a stir as well as his countless quality productions before that. the two tracks themselves are perfectly geared for drumcode with their twisted techno sensibility yet dancefloor appeal. expect massive support from the techno masses

with sutura abstract records proudly presents a new member! the german-born turkish is definitely a one to watch among the next hardtechno generation. with quality releases on labels such as knedeep, inflicted and now on abstract, sutura shows where his way as an artist will lead: to the top of hardtechno and therefore right in the middle of the abstract family. his first release on abstract recordings is a four-tracker called symphony of darkness ep - watch out!

played & supported by thomas schumacher, laurent garnier, jimpster, dylan hermeliijn, cassy, remute, ..new signing david keno is no stranger to the scene! he released a variety of top productions on labels like i220, zenit, meerestief, karateklub and now runs his own label keno records. the >pascow ep< is a great quirky yet housey 3-tracker, keeping a minimal edge. being a dj himself, david knows what cool clubs tracks sound like – strong debut!

what a back to back funk winner... we had quite a dilemma on these two... we love the original tracks so much, that it was dificult to chose wether to re edit them or just release them as they were... we couldnt figure out, so we decided to reach a middle ground. a side is totaly redone, with extra programed breaks and clavinet hooks for maximum pleasure, as b side gets the release totaly as the original 12inch intrumental version (yes the one on the original indie release, not the one from the later major repress)... well... totally... not quite, the rythm has been straighten and quantize, so now you can mix it...

this japanese technopioneer has done some masterpieces last year on well respected labels such as audio assault and zwart. now its time to hit back with a stunning and pounding ep on the new label dynamic reflection. this kid is the headchef of mindcrushing synths, steady pounding beats and crispy percussionloops as the first track so clearly shows. the guys from radial put out an awesome remix on the a2! their rework leads you into the dark paths of techno, a true dancefloor killer! before checking the flipside you better insert your earplugs, cause here mr. hiyama comes up with an narly mind blowing stomper. he shows us how stuff like this is meant to be done and has no mercy on those eardrums. secondly there is another remix from the spanish wonderboy reeko, who takes you into the deep and dark dungeons of his spanish artgallery. with his heavy basslines and his extraordinary uplifting percussion loops he pushes himself to another level with this one! all n all a superior first release on this new and pure techno label, which perfectly reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come

jorge has been a central figure on the latin-american musical stage since the 80s-first as the co-founder of chiles beloved political rockers los prisioneros, then as a restlessly inventive solo musician and as one half of gonzálo martínez, the experimental electronic duo with dandy jack (martin schopf). now based in mexico city and working alongside loreto otero, jorge presents los updates, a new project combining electro-pop with an unusual approach to minimalist house and techno. designed both as a studio affair and a live performance, los updates expands its collaborative scope by reaching out to a crew of well-known chilean and european musicians who were central to the development of chilean techno in the mid 90s: ricardo villalobos, dandy jack, luciano and tobias freund, all of whom deliver defiantly original remixes across a series of 12-inch singles. tobias. fills the a-side with his remix of >pictures of you< simply one of the most dazzling things youll hear this year. tobias. recent string of work-singles for wagon repair and ostgut ton, as well as remixes for two armadillos and jim rivers-has shown him to be a master of the hypnotic groove, and here he entrances like never before, laying down a stark 808 drum pattern which he threads through dubby keys, analog explosions and liquid bass figures. on the b-side cadenzas luciano is getting late and brings his inimitable touch to the remix of >etting late<. luciano reworks the song into a lean, bleepy groove that marries the cool restraint of vintage dbx to lucianos own effusive style, buoyant and percussive and completely enveloping..

once again, tuningspork records ventures away from its trademark funky house in exchange for something a little more unexpected. last summer, the label issued >free your mind< (tsextra), a baleraric groove crafted by jay haze and ricardo villalobos. now comes another non-sequitur: >comptine d un autre été: l après-midi< (tsultra), mr. tiersens piano composition reconstructed for the dancefloor by jay. french composer yann tiersen has a minimalist approach that many electronic producers could learn from. his piece (the title of which roughly means >nursery rhyme of another summer: the afternoon<) provides the basis for this melancholy track. djs addicted to hyperbolic effects plugins might hesitate to play this - but those who appreciate subtlety will be rewarded here. tiersens original composition is tastefully manipulated into a track that makes sense in a club context, yet sets itself apart from the usual techno/house fare, providing a rare introspective moment on the dancefloor. and it might be worth mentioning: if you play this track and the floor doesnt fill up with ladies, then it probably means youre djing at a gay club. (not that theres anything wrong with that!)

2 new tracks and a remix from sunburn, now in cool cuts chart at # 2! already played by kris menace, laurent garnier, satoshi tomiie, x-press 2, judge jules

production partners dj rico & mr fuzz aka grantorino have been in the scene for a while influenced principally by the 70s soul, jazz, gospel, funk and with a passion for world music, and they now drop this massive album which was due a year ago on raisani records. the first single shake the black star, was featured on the dubai sessions compilation and lately on the dubai heat sampler!!

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

rmxs by paul harris, syke & sugarstarr, spencer & hill after big success in a lot of parts of the world, milk & sugar are now releasing stay around (for this) with brandnew mixes for the uk market. the original versions have already gained great support and made their way into numerous dj- and radio charts (please see below). this new limited remix pressing contains mixes by paul harris, spencer & hill and syke n sugarstarr.

a 2002 classic! experimental atmospheric traxx by andreas tilliander!

the munich resident florian senfter aka zombie nation or john starlight is well-known as the creator of tracks like kernkraft 400, souls at zero, space marines and last not least blood angels, which can also be found on the sound of the third season, and is thus a reliable choice for sweaty, energetic eruptions up to the fringe of demolition. this doesnt change significantly on road rage, which was originally released by ukw in a limited number of copies and is now the first sign of life from senfters studio, after three years of abstinence. with timehonoured plus 8 references and acid elements, the original recollects an almost gone quality of techno: to blow away your skullcap with the unashamed joy of telling stories, many breaks, some funky dirtyness and experimental noise playfulness. exclusively made for cocoon was the remix by parisian turbo producer popof who gives the track an even more intense gross-grained feeling. one does not have to be a prophet at all to tell that both versions are facing a great future in club autumn 2008 and beyond

main groove and the deep going atmosphere! awesome release!!! with two deep and modern-groove tracks, jenn appears the first time on her own, in 2007 founded, label popnorama. since 2005 she produces a lot of minimal teknoid tracks and remixes, which are always a bit dark and reflective. her style is always regognizeable. considering to her releases on karateklub recordings, she introduces now on popnorama, her soft and gently side of music productions. feel the main groove and the deep going atmosphere she creates!

the man behind some infamously amazing and joyful live sets, a successful first album for musique risqué, a great ep for oslo, and a brilliant debut on circus company with petit djinns-including the underground hit >sous l arbre<, guillaume & the coutu dumonts is now back on cc with >i was on my way to hell<. a delicious two-tracker for different moments, covering two distinct vibes perfectly. on the a side >i was on my way to hell< is a jam that bubbles over like a volcano with a marvelous synth pad melody building along with a gospel preacher sample. all the while a heavy groove powers away underneath- he’s got the secret! on the b side, we are taken to a more quiet but still melodic environment. >can’t argue with silence< opens up with a rolling bass line, a simple refined groove, and then gradually sprinkles tasteful acoustic hits and ethno-styled synth stabs on top. close your eyes and feel the heat of an >arabian night< inna guillaume & the coutu dumonts house sylee!

after his title >beats in the mist<, on the first part of the double publishing religio.audio005, there is now the full variety by mr. ferlin hearable on the religio.audio009! according to the motto of the record, >monday morning sights< presents three easy techno-like and charming original tracks plus one precise muscle relaxing remix by hammerschmidt & lentz. of course, in spite of the name of the title, this record works even at other days/nights of the week. with a light taste of mediterranean and a special musical liveliness the sardinian, living in berlin, opens the indoor club season. this is for everybody, who likes to get dumplings with vanilla sauce on monday morning!

kindisch is now eighteen releases old, and its mission - to uncover new talent, and to provide a platform for producers to evolve and experiment - is more passionate than ever. this time, the reins are handed to sascha braemer, aka hirtenfellner, and philip bader, who build on the promise of their releases on sup dub and get physical. >mamba drums< is, as its name suggests, a percussive, latin-tinged affair, with sweeping builds and heavy drops, layer upon layer of locomotive percussion and a skeletal four-note vamp designed to whip the listener into a state of frenzy (and sure to be successful in this aim!). a male vocal sample pervades on >thrill<, this time more gruff, more laconic, and edited so that the words become another percussive element rather than carriers of meaning. deep whirlpools of delay open up below a surface drift of jazz-tinged chords, from a minimalist sound palette bader and braemer paint a vastly evocative, effusive picture that will transport the listener, or dancefloor, to a strange and addictive place. >put your arms around me<, implores the soul-infused vocal sample on b >around<, over a yawning vista of synth chords bridged with sibiliant snares and subtle but earth-moving edits that leave no doubt as to braemer and baders mastery of dancefloor dynamics.

these hand-picked tracks are now available on a dj-friendly 2-sided-4-tracks-vinyl-ep and let me tell you, they are well worth the extra investment. the first of the bunch starts off with big man lexys fancy girl, an ever-growing minimal techy peak-time-pusher with a hushed vocal-sample, some anaologue signal sounds and a futuristic and pumping beat. add a great distorted melody to this on the breakdown and the dancefloor will thank you for putting this on: they will go mental! after this introduction, its the newcomers mickey monzza & joseph discos turn with their equally stimulating track lonely. this is a great modern piece of pumping dub techno with a straight-forward attitude. the hi-hats on this tune are mesmerezing, the clappy snares and sirens perfectly placed and the subtle dubby and groovy melody an ideal antithesis to this hectically moving tune. simply nice! but hold on, there is more to come. on the flip there is hamburgs house impressario h.o.s.h. with his track ben johnson and whether this title is a reference to the legendary sportsman or not, its a pretty record-worthy track: wonderful little stabs and vocal sounds and a bassline so warm and groovy it makes your heart melt. then when the breakdown hits you with its long and winding signal sound, the dancefloor will already be bathing in a floor filled with sweet happiness. this is truely delicious! the two newcomers and residents at hive club in zurich animaltrainer have the honour to finish off this ep with their oily tech-house-anthem talkshow, a superb main-floor-peak-time-melody-affair.
