while everyone else was enjoying the summer of the century ( and probably the world cup ) the botox boys hurled themselves in the studio and indulged into a cosmic electronic >kraut< session. on the hard stomping >lada rock< cosmo vitelli lays down a stoic one note bassline and grants tekels julien briffaz some time to get freaky with hard metallic, stumbling beats behind his drumkit before skanking guitar chords preludes several minutes of countless dramatic organ and synth erruptions. after this wild freak-out your body gets a rest, its now the mind that gets messed with, the slow moving >drive by shooting< with its neverending, grinding, menacing cascades of hot-lava like synth tides sounds like a dark balearic tune on bad acid

on the back of massive summer anthems from dark mountain group and rodermaal, buzzing fly is back. ben watt’s a&r skills and ear for a tune brings us rocco – house music for the heads. originally handed to a few top tastemakers last christmas, the release of this undoubted deep and deadly floor-killer from lyon s rocco, was delayed six months after john digweed requested it as an exclusive for his recent best-selling >transitions< mix compilation. permission granted, its now back for its official full release on buzzin’ fly and, following his dastardly cut >blood< this summer, we ve added a brand new thrumming and funky tech-dub remix from francois dubois (a.k.a. lars sandberg a.k.a. funk d void) just for good measure

this is the first volume of a limited edition serie of 12” featuring some of his unreleased tracks or lost gems for the first time on vinyl duriez was very active behind the gears in the nineties and his appetite for electronic tunes lead him to produce hundreds of tracks in many genres. the man did produce house & techno but also drum&bass (he has produced an album in 1998 unreleased for now that we will release as download only on our new imprint aperto – check the web soon, the label will also release his unreleased album from 2002 as le dav) or downtempo.

bugz in the attic release the second single from the inspired debut album back in the dog house,a live favourite and deftly handled cover of yarborough and peoples 1980 bassline heavy dont stop the music. bugz, pioneers of deep and dirty dance music, brought a brimming confidence along with the experimentation of their debut, which glistens with stone cold funk, boogie and disco but remains resolutely contemporary thanks to their immersion in club culture and the broad pool of guest vocal talents at their disposal. for dont stop the music former basement jaxx collaborator sharlene hector was given the task of re doing a bugz favourite, and the result is an out and out west london bruk up twist that takes the basslines from p funk, the soul of the original and a certain pirate radio grit and delivers the very essence of bugz.

after a short break here comes the next banging brutal hardcore action from tieum !! this one was produced in collaboration with dj kristof

jin choi lässt es abstrakt doch klar strukturiert angehen und dürfte es damit in die taschen derer schaffen die sich mal was trauen ohne der platte ausgeliefert sein zu wollen. minimal with balls

eveybody s gay... suggests however a musical idea that could not be simpler, a kind of atonal electronic blues with a recurring motif. yet, everything hinges on keyboards riffs and song rendering which allow d.i.p to bowl us over exultantly. if everybody s gay... is playing on self-restraint, on the b-side perfect day launches a head-on attack on the dancefloor with overworked disco-techno-rock intentions…and, present as always, those acid-electro-gut-wrenching tones. we can also notice that florian s personality shines out in broad daylight, as if it was possible, amazingly playing on voices. seducing and convincing. everybody is definitely ok: if a second ep is always a decisive test for a producer, d.i.p. compels recognition on the popular credibility form. moreover those little brats take advantage of the opportunity to sign right through the sheet

mobilee is on >back to back< mission and presents the first release of a four-piece vinyl remix series including eight exclusive in-house remixes. a - sebo k reworks gummihz s >isolate<. he just took the essential >rave signal<, modified the groove and added some spezial effects. the most reduced sebo k production so far. aa - prosumer gets the upper hand on sebo k, recreating the latter s >moved (featuring prosumer)< in prosumer s own image. and you thought dude was just a singer - think again. >think again< might as well be mobilee s motto, for the way the label lays bare the skeleton of rave music—and the way it amplifies berlin minimal into something throbbing, overwhelming, all-consuming. watch your back: mobilee is coming up from behind, and back to back is the rearview image of the shape of rave to come

>em.pulse< is the long-awaited new release from hanaus most innovative and respected techno producer, d. diggler aka andreas muegge !! it is a appetizing work of staggering genius which forges a very different path from his 1999 debut 12 boogiemonster and his albums >feel my heat< and >atomic dancefloor<. where >feel my heat< was an exaggerated dub influenced collage which was mainly driven by post basic channel sound, >em.pulse< is deconstructing the history of techno and reassembled it into a breathtaking tangle of modern minimal sound..

the members of my my met and became friends through common interests in music, but it wasnt until they ended up as neighbours in berlins mitte, that a lifestyle of committed partying, cake baking and long studio sessions lead to their debut release on playhouse >klatta< in early 2005. it was the result of previously downtempo producer lee jones (hefner) working and partying with local berlin djs nick höppner and carsten kleeman, who are residents respectively at panorama bar and watergate. following up their recent fantastic 12inch on circus company butterflies & zebras is beautifully tripped-out expansive ambient house, summer after-hours here we come! recorded live with nick and lee layering fx over the organic percussion as the mix develops. an acid infused bassline is slowly opened out as layers of lush strings and shimmering pads are teased into the arrangement. on moneybowl the boys show the more jacking side of my my. taught and lean with a groove that keeps on evolving, while weird and wonderful bleeps and clicks bounce around the mix. for the remix, john dahlbäck twists the pads from the original and adds his own synth stabs. then pulls out a bassline and arrangement that jumps straight onto the dancefloor

the original club mix is an excellent chunky bassheavy funky house monster, was already released on dubsided , and flipside contains a monster eric prydz remix with the best electrohouse madness for the summer of 2006!!

with this brand new ep, his first one on a non-french label, d vincent turning back to 80s electro pop style, espescially on the a side >caps lock<, which could be the instrumental part of a depeche mode tune. not to be taken too seriously, of course ! >less< is more looking towards the actual electro-techno dance floor, and the other b side is a remix of bazoline founder doctor olive s the end of the beginning<. the original was released on parisian label missive music in october 2005 and played, a.o., by laurent garnier. this d. vincent remix was previously unavailable and definitely deserves exposure. in case of laurent garnier,doctor olive,dj hell,jack de marseille,lars sandberg,…!

futuro is back with a doubledecker o fclassic detroit influenced technohouse by none other than kim rapatti aka mono junk (styrax/dum) in his melody boy 2000 disguise.when sähkö was starting to release minimal records in early 90s mono junk had allready a few years earlier made an impact in the technoscene with his original detroit techno sound. influenced by the sähkö sound, mono junk released monotone fantastique in 1994 on his dum-records label (dum-014) on a limited 12inch which has become a classic. almost 12 years later and futuro is picking this gem up from kim straight from his master dat tape. newly mastered this shit rocks!b-side features 2 new productions, a perfect way to evaluate the progression of this talented finn. sound steal er is more geared towards the dancefloor, it features deep eerie vocals and machine-alike drum programming while sient mornings is more of an early morning electro crooner

the title track - one of the best tunes from the album - comes in an alternative version, whereas >sykkelsesong< was recorded live at goa club in rome, italy. >tempo tempo< is a new track, in true l&pt style: spaced out disco

the track loud minority is dedicated to alex dallas loud minority residency in zurichs great club dachkantine, which closed down and was a home for great guests such as carl craig, pepe bradock, juan atkins, metro area, herbert and maurice fulton to name just a few. they all inspired us to create music which incorporates all our beloved music and combine different style elements to a fresh and maybe even a typical zurich sounding way. with dessert you can fade away and feel the ability of foster to take you into his simple but at the same time very sophisticated form of musical expression. kanona does what the title suggests. all tracks are flavoured with a great detroit feeling there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it.

busted speaker brew is the second installation by the afternoon coffee boys on clink recordings. this new minimal rocker walks the fine line between minimal and techno with acb’s signature drum programming and short decay instrumentation. the afternoon coffee boys, aka tim xavier and tony rohr, released their debut collaborative release on clink001 last year with one of the bigger eps of 2005: dark blend. their follow-up ep on cocoon, >glitches brew<, was released at the beginning of this year and was a huge success. their music has been praised by top artists such as adam beyer, richie hawtin, sven väth and marco carola, and they show promise as one of the new leading duos of 2006. this ep is an excellent release as acb continues to push the minimal edge with their techno influences by keeping the tracks rhythmic and driving while maintaining the slow, deep and funky pace that djs are currently pursuing in their sets
