exium are probably the most popular techno act from spain alongside oscar mulero and christian wunsch. the boys are known for a distinct rocking, offbeat infected productions with a silk coating. the boys are pretty busy with their live tour and have finally found some time to perfect some if the tracks they have road-tested many times. this fifth ep sees the guys picking a more layed back style, and it shows pure quality! fans of the sound of dinner, warm-up, tsunami should buy this on sight.

homewreckers - close your eyes til the morning the amazing success of their last release >its about time< challenged the homewreckers to push their sound a little further out. >close your eyes til the morning< is hardcore groove with a great, burning synth bass that funks along until new york singer dennis legree brings some excitement to the proceedings with his tremendous voice. its pure underground deep house - intense, abstract and dramatic. no wonder that felix da housecat and marshall jefferson supported those guys when they were teenagers! a vital alternative to the melodic clichés and rhythmic orthodoxy of the electronic music mainstream. langenbergs remix gets the b-side under way. backed up by a strong beat it rolls steadily ahead with unflagging propulsion. next up is >hot hot hot<, an exciting up-tempo number which gives kemo another opportunity to show his lyrical feeling while >smile< slows down the pace easing into a down-home hip-hop affair. this is the second of four records representing the vinyl collectors edition of the homewreckers forthcoming album >american ruhr<

twice high quality dark atmospheric techno deepness. nebula is the more straight forward track, thick pounding rhythm and vibes make it ending up somewhere between mills & maurizio, raw straight techno. estuary gives some deeper dubby vibes. revived is the delsin sub-label ann aimee! once again outlet for the more experimental sides of delsins electronic music. after the superb fine release by james kumo, another fine debut ep. this ep is done by delta funktionen, who goes in real life by the name of niels luinenburg. 23 years old - living in the northern part of holland. hes inspired by maurizio, basic channel, convextion, carl craig, steve rachmad, jeff mills, robert hood and others. the superb artwork is done by another delta, namely delta inc

the original of song for marie and elise is a melancholic pop jewel, which was made for the movie in your head. the remix comes from the disco superstars aeroplane (of which vito is also a part of). they keep the sweet melody, but put a fatass bassline under it to shook to your very heart and soul and make this an outstanding remix. flip over you ll get code 7429. it combines 90s rave sounds with a stunning piano making this a dancefloor sureshot. hot hot hot!

despite being launched in the early nineties, the incredible moton records inc have only released just over 20 records. a co operative effort between djs diesel, harvey, faiths dave jarvis and ashley beedle, this label has expertly amended and extended many an undiscovered, lost classic. always dealt with respectfully, these incredible re edits are released in super limited quantities, hence the crazy prices they reach in the second hand market! this superb three tracker is another gem, featuring rarities from the french afro beat scene, dubbed out 80s funk & soulful psychedelia. the quality is off the scale, the pressing is a...

nicolas masseyeff is the latest member of the growing herzblut family. big honour. nicolas is new greenhorn to the techno scene, he has done quite a few releases under different akas … but as herzblut is all about personal style, honesty and dedication he uses his real name for this techno manifesto! huge sound-walls , kicking beats and insane efx make this dancefloor-euphoria- peaktime version of the thx dolby surround trademark sound… bringing the herzblut sound to the next level. stephan bodzin is a true innovator not only as a producer - also as an a&r. respect!

bitches brew are back with their next wild installment - purple somersault. if the previous release was filed under country dub tronica, this release is psychedelic surf cosmic disco. kind of like link wray wipes out with giorgio moroder. an interesting and rather beautiful concept, in fact the whole wild rumpus story is rather interesting and beautiful. two pioneers of forward thinking music, but from very different backgrounds combine to make the kind of music you simply cant ignore but at the same time cant quite put your finger on.

in the year of punk 1977, the jams exploded onto the music scene with this seminal debut album. the raw, unfettered aggression of the bands approach was well in keeping with the spirit of the times, but the heart of their songs and sound lay in the mod movement of the mid 60s. singer/guitarist paul weller comes off like a cross between joe strummer and the young pete townshend, bashing unreservedly through slow down, one of the r&b tunes that inspired the original mods. weller extols the virtues of frenzied dancing and nonconformist youth culture over the raging three chord attack of bassist bruce foxton and drummer rick buckler. the pure punk insouciance of his words and delivery is a perfect match for the raging but hooky arrangements, which basically consisted of the band walking into the studio and blazing through their live set. rickenbacker guitars never sounded so thick, and skinny ties never seemed less geeky.

frischer minimal / tribaler output der zwischen techno & house rangiert

here comes the first vinyl release from logical musik, a journey between housey and techno grooves with huge basslines and spaced out efx. early support from : someone else, monoroom, steph highland, harada, marc ashken, mihalis safras and many others

persona label boss stewart walker returns with his first 12 release since last year s well-received album >concentricity<. on this release he continues to seek the correct balance between power and detail in high, medium, and low intensity versions. the powerful a - side, >the stiff materialist< kicks off the release with at least a thousand sounds and a clearly defined dynamic narrative which shifts between many unique-sounding peaks and plateaus.

phil kieran is back again with >missp< on cocoon recordings and continues consistently where he stopped with his contribution to the compilation g: groovy, dark, technoid – a sound that, from time to time, reminds of some fog & strobo parties in the mid-nineties. an electroid bass line and a fascinating drum roll go straight ahead and its still the fine sounds in between that make the music and the rhythm. a track which is perfect for the prime time

incl jussi pekka remix !! p.a.l. is focused in producing really hot stuff halfway between techhouse and electro

incl great john selway dub-techno remix.. the second installment on forward think label hej records is a special collaboration between label owners punisher ( michelle herrmann ) and john overfiend ( matt caputo ). the title track thermal underwear begins with a hypnotic melody that envelopes you and the lush atmospheric synths float over, as if preparing you for the coming bass storm. the minimal yet driving, chunky shuffled beats hit hard and your body moves to the infectious rhythm.

one of japans most intriguing graphic artists >baiyon< has also been producing ethereal and engaging tracks since 1998. having journeyed through cut up hip hop house and dub regions under his conceal moniker, d1 invited him to perform two ecstatically received live sets as baiyon at dublins deaf festival in 2005 and in 2007. now for our 41st in the d1 catalogue we are presenting 4 flawless minimal >trecks< of deep space activity. first up is >s soup< a slick fusion of traditional japanese block grooves and drum machine that climbs its way up into a cloud bursting deep dub house melody explosion. side a is completed by a remix of aforementioned track by south african dj/producer >shane berry< of synewave and trapez fame. the mission continues through >the middle< showing a slightly tougher side to this usually light hearted artist. the plate concludes with a stunning bouncy deep jerky house number >can ride, can walk, cant wait< sweet deep melodies dubbed out over club chuggin beats and a red hot squidge bassline

we are very happy to present you a long time buzzing release finally out on sismic music. its called bloody rain signed under the name of the heels to give it a special flavour as it sounds pop with a strong and melodic hook! various artists put their hands on very original & stylish remixes such as fat phaze (who has remixed the daft punk), slow motion (one of sismic music rosters) and the two winners of the remix contest from october 2007: jonathan perea and leeroy daevis.

continuing far outs 7inch series, joyce scats her way over two high octane bossas with an unmistakable feminina-style sound. this 7inch features an exclusive version of feijao com arroz - a track from joyces forthcoming cd yet here with a scorching bassline that differs from the album version and will ensure the tune gets flipped by those djs who know the damage a bass led bossa groove can do to a dancefloor. feijao com arroz - rice and beans - might be the simplest of brazilian dishes yet this track is a master class in samba jazz. joyce and her banda blend the basic ingredients of bass, drums, guitar and vocals into a rhapsodic groove that sounds like it could be a lost classic from seminal joyce albums such as feminina or tardes cariocas. joyce weaves a web of sonorous guitar work in between tuttys frenetic cymbal work as her scat lifts the tune high whilst a driving bassline pushes the groove low, surely putting feijao com arroz up there with the likes of aldeia de ogum and feminina. on the flipside lies penalty, a live favourite from joyces recent japanese tour. again on paper the ingredients look simple - bass, drums, guitar and vocals - yet in the hands of joyce and co the elements are blended together to create a celestial slice of spiritual jazz dance guaranteed to lift even the weariest of souls.

nice price deal !!! having left a permanent mark with both his bands, husker d and sugar, and with a half dozen, uncompromising solo albums released during and after these bands lived, bob has long been regarded as a name at the forefront of american music. not one for sentiment, bob prefers to ignore his legacy and cult status, going straight to what he does best - namely that of making hairraisingly emotional, undeniably catchy, loud, mature, guitar rock. district line - instantly sounds both familiar and classic.

supported by john digweed, pawas, jeff samuel, adam kroll, dubnitzky, monoroom, h.o.s.h., mollono.bass, elektrodrei, jakob seidensticker&lexgold !! and again the ostwind-crew presents new artists on their limited series. on the a-side we have the up comming artists daniel solar (known from his excellent remix-work for marc depulse s “kein kind von traurigkeit” on ostwind013) with his production partner marc poppcke aka solar & poppcke. they deliver a stunnig melancholic journey between electrofied techhouse and neo-trance with some neo-pop influences. on the b-side we welcome roberto rodriguez, known from his projects “future beat investigators”, “bermuda” or “track n field” for labels like laka, raw fusion, sonar kollektiv, frisbee tracks and nine2five to name a few. he comes with a great soulful detroit influenced melodic techhouse biggie to save special moments on the dancefloor. all in all a very nice package with two sentimentally ear candys in a very high production quality !!

o the lead single from jay hazes new album love & beyond, arriving 28 april. o a jacking floor-filler powered by jays previously unknown beatboxing skills. o features exclusive b-side >free ride<, a collaboration with ricardo villalobos. jay hazes upcoming album love & beyond is set to win over new fans, confuse longtime followers, and piss off the haters as jay takes things to the next level. available on 2xcd (digital soul and instrumental beatscapes) and 2xlp (entirely different tracks of dance material), the album is a noticeable departure from his back catalog (which nears 100 releases if you include his numerous aliases and side projects). ass to mouth is the 1stt single, driven by layers of jays own voice - breathing, cooing, and clicking - combined with ominous synth lines, resulting in a bouncy, sweaty workout track. ass to mouth is inspired by classic chicago house, yet wouldnt sound out of place on missy elliotts so addictive or björks medúlla. in addition to a stripped-down a cappella version, this single includes the non-album b-side >free ride,< a 10-minute spacious groove co-produced with his buddy ricardo villalobos, showcasing the synergy between two of the most forward-thinking producers in the global techno/house community

nice price deal !!! babylon, a collaboration with between black canvas & the breakfastaz is the first single taken from the album rise and is undoubtedly the stand out track in terms of dance floor sensibilities. the breakfastaz lay down their trademark funky beats, driving basslines and faultless production whilst black canvas layer poetic words and soulful harmonies on top.

hyperdub kick off 2008 they way they intend to proceed, with new tracks from a new artist. on her debut release, ikonika comes with her own very unique, warped yet soulful bleep sound. with shape shifting beats that switch styles every few bars its hard to pin these two tracks down... cos if it was easy, it just wouldnt be hyperdub. both tunes are one minute minimal, one minute maximal, driven along by ikonikas special combination of wonky synth and deep swingin sub bass melodies that place them somewhere between an early, blocky grime instrumental and the sweeter side of detroit techno ? except with better bass of course! who needs a vocalist when your synth can sing like this? quite how kode9 manages to keep unveiling new producers of such abundant talent is a conun drum, but one to be cracked some other time when we?re not so busy keeping up with his astonishing labels ceaseless march into the future.

uncompromising underground techno tunes between genres like detroit and chicago acid-house

a very special compost release with two very rare tracks! the a-side features a great remix of beanfields >tides< with amazing vocals from bajka - of course its not quite up there with the unbelievable carl craig mix but then that would be an uphill struggle. ripperton from the lazy fat people adds his moody, deep slant to the track, less anthemic than carl craig but a more than welcome alternative. this mix was available for a short time as bootleg with ricardo villaloboss remix of depeche modes >sinner in me< on the flip and sold out quickly despite the poor sound quality. finally, one year later, this great tune sees it official release completely remasterd in chrystal clear sound - get it, play it, love it! in 2006 the duo tom wieland and marc frank - better known as 7 samurai - crafted a fine remix of invisible sessions under their panoptikum moniker. when michael reinboth considered this remix for his new future sounds of jazz compilation the guys decided to contribute even a little bit more: an excusive new version which became a definitely highlight of the whole compilation. the panoptikum 2007 remix surprisingly takes a leaf out of innervisions book for a smooth deep houser with a slighty techy sound and a touch of detroit in the vein of Âme or henrik schwarz. in contrast to the vocal version included on fsoj this 12inch features the trippy instrumental version. ace stuff! two must have tracks - all killer, no filler!

debut 12inch of this detroit dream co-op between theo parrish, omar s and marcelus pittman. rawer and harder than the last sound signature releases, this is a one-sided must-have 12inch, limited repress

avocado # 1 was the secrect weapon in dc 10 last summer! big with: ame, matthias tanzmann, tanja volcano, steve bug,…!! #2 comes even stronger ! a: peter pan: following up from the immense track >elephant<, >peter pan< does not betray rune and sydenhams tough deep tech sensibilities. grinding along, this track blurs the boundaries between tech- house and techno. b: snow bored: >snow bored< is a deep and sophisticated piece of tech effervescence clearly demonstrating the serious approach sydenham and rune take in their search of new techno pastures.

sometimes, its still worth not to waste your youth with nonsense but to learn to play an instrument. like in the case of sebastian mullaert, who has learned to play violin, organ and piano, while his partner marcus henriksson rather came from kraftwerk and human league to electronic music. as son kite, the two swedes have already a well-known name in the psy-trance scene, and as minilogue, they now start to conquer the minimal and house world. with their rather unique sound, they manage the tightrope walk between minimal and trance and never allow us to put them into a drawer. especially with their debut on cocoon rec, minilogue present themselves in a different way, compared to their releases on traum or wagon repair. >jamaica< is a calm track at the first hearing and is perfect for building up a set. beginning with bird-like sounds, the track builds up slowly and quickly becomes very interesting and tricky, ramifies as organic as a climbing plant, and when the tribal sound emerges from the underground, this track has exactly what makes minilogue so special: organic matter and groovy sounds, worked into a minimal labyrinth with very much love for the details. all of that can also be found on the b side which seems to be more adequate for the morning hours, with its somehow spacey sound. with >jamaica<, mullaert and henriksson prove that they are floating on the very surface of the endless minimal ocean. and with their album >animals< being already in sight on cocoon recordings, one can be highly anxious of what is coming ahead, by minilogue and techno made in sweden

with this release the spring buds sprout on upon you. lee jones, member of mymy and daniel dreier have delivered two great early blossoms which- like we have expected, holds no house-spuds under the ground. inspired by the facet richness of the sounds in >a man< on a1, marco resmann went on to plant his special note of funkyness on b1

after two 12s on fine last year the glass are back again to surprise audiences with varied dancefloor indie rock - this ep features four cuts between punk & electro ballads !

after the big success of freiraum 001, comes the second minimal-bomb!!! freiraum mastermind paddo delivers the a-side track called >schuba< and will be loved by all gamblers between berlin and las vegas! an furious follow up! on b1 you will find danjel esparanzas >die vögel gehn zu fuss< - lovely hypnotic birds! on b2 paddo with >der andere< present their track >playnights< - youll love it! for fans of ricardo, luciano, magda, raresh, karotte, loco dice, marco carola

dont you ever get is the fourth collaboration between kenny and gregory this year and this one is one of a kind. the club mix has strong live instruments, killer chorus and meaningful lyrics. also, kings of deep provide us with a killer soulful remix which is gonna heat up some serious dancelfoors!!! and, for the first time dj tekin collaborates with label boss on a deeeeep dub which will surely hang on for long!!! sounds like another hit song for gregory del piero and kenny bobien...

joan costes and adrien de maublanc, are a new pair of very hot parisian producers who have worked their musical experiences during 3 years, they are now ready to share with the world their so special musical universe. plouf ep is their first delivery, an original three tracker between minimalism and balearisme, with the right dose of subtle percussion, shining and friendly melodies, a ideal production for dreaming elegantly on the dancefloor
