following their remix of ludwig coenen for tlm022 and a string of celebrated releases for nachtstrom schallplatten and perc trax, toronto s frederik hatsav and jamie kidd rejoin the thoughtless fold under their metalogic guise. enlisting new york techno veteran dietrich schoenemann on the title track, the trio delivers a sleek combo of pure analog bass and metallic percussion, resulting in an unrelenting yet stripped-down futuristic club workout. overseeing remix duties is techno legend bryan zentz. his first of two solutions, the empty vessel dub dives deep into late-night territory, employing the irresistible bass line of the original and embellishing it with sparse synth work and echoing atmospheres to stunning effect. as a digital bonus, zentz offers up the kenosis shuffle mix, providing added bounce with a boosted low-end while taking a house-leaning approach in the drum department and adding detroit-style stabs for good measure. on the flip, dark shines is a heady ride, intoxicant atmospheres and dynamic yet subtle arrangements solving as a mystical techno prime. whether exploring the outer reaches of modern techno or twisting up their uniquely abstract take on tech-house, the result is pure quality..

if you arent sold on the ontario-buzz, then maybe you will pay attention to two awesome remixes by the bombest bulgarian, kink. the deep mix is a lush, throbbing body-rub, and the acid version is a highlight-reel of peak time mayhem, already caned and charted by erol alkan and tiga. if nothing else, >body acid< is a vital reminder that acid goes into your body. thats just the way it works.

having launched blkrtz to wide spread critical acclaim with his album drawn and quartered in june this year, deadbeat now enlist the aid of two fellow berlin residents who need no introduction for remix duties. working with the source material from the first quarter, scuba dons his scb guise and turns in a slow burning sci-fi techno monster sure to appeal to fans of monolake and his own early work. rife with reverb drenched sonar pings and mechanized groans in the periphery, the track lurches toward its epic crescendo like an alien infested star ship nostromo sliding slowly to its demise into the center of a black hole. bringing things back up into the light on the flip, efdemin tranforms the fourth quarter (calas house) into a chugging deep pocket house journey. riding the cusp of a rubbery bassline and molding the chords into a timeless house organ motif, the originals dubwise leanings are heard loud and clear through a cloud of crackling unintelligible vocal samples and thunderous spring reverb crashes worthy of king tubby himself. without a doubt two floor ready reinterpretations and a great sign of things to come from deadbeats new curatorial ventur

there is a certain dynamic that emerges whenever andre galluzzi and dana ruh pair up to create a record. with last year s >freya / mauersegler< split ep on ostgut ton, the two have already hit up some of the most prestigious labels in the electronic music landscape. tracks that are upbeat, driving, and, most of all, fresh have characterized their co-productions, which now have aras as a home. taking its cues from their label nights at berlin s panorama bar, galluzzi and ruh have solidified aras into an imprint based around expanding upon the creative energy that both share. their first release, >trambolla<, harmonizes each artist s approach into a grooving whirlwind that showcases their ability as producers as well as live musicians.starting off with the title track >trambolla<, the ep begins with tribal beats and infectious arrangements that seamlessly build upon each other along the course of the a-side. grooving from the start, it is the kind of track where the listener or the dj gets into the vibe right away. the percussion of >trambolla< especially stands out amongst the latin-tinged bongos, hi-hats, and hand claps that interchangeably come in and out of the track, a journey of its own at 9 minutes. >thelema<, the b-side, contrasts with the lightness of the a-side and demonstrates galluzzi and ruh s equal comfort in creating darker and heavily pounding tracks. the ten minute track grows out of a simple beat and growls ever louder as it takes in more intensity with its cascade of filters, delays, and booming bass. aside from the hard edge of >thelema<, it also provides a preview into the live set that the two artists are about to debut together.

for its second kiss, stolen kisses reached out to bnjmn, one of 2011s most promising artists. with nimble synth melodies that leap over burbling sub-bass with the grace and poise of ballet dancers, >nightvision< quickly distinguishes itself as more accessible but equally detailed as the tracks on the uk producers breakthrough album, >plastic world<. it is paired with a remix by fellow uk producer andy stott, a core member of the modern love family. fresh off his revelatory >passed me by< 2x12, stott drags >nightvision< into his lair to refashion it as a gritty, slo-mo beatdown. his sonic gremlins gnaw new textures into familiar progressions and set off sub-bass clusterbombs, daring djs to unleash the remix on a sizable sound system.

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

waifs & strays are at it again, this time sliding seamlessly into the supremely sexy catalogue of hot creations with >body shiver<, another pair of bristol bombs with a rowdy remix from hot natured to roll out the summer.

today, the pit lane is decorated with red carpet and golden leaf for two exceptional talents: from the black forest patrick chardronnet for the gui boratto (bra)-team, and from the westerwald dominik eulberg (ger) for the extrawelt-team. both drivers are concentrated. they are wearing shimmering overalls and golden helmets. they get into their softly purring apparillos. two pairs of gloves at the steering wheel. the heat is flimmering over the hot asphalt. during the race, the gui boratto / patrick chardronnet-team focuses on deep bass lines and a constant improvement in performance with a slightly shifted ideal line, and only one pit stop. in three words: mighty, majestic, thunderous! team-extrawelt acts a bit more flexible. dominik eulberg either puts on the handbrake or drives at full speed. he is fast, he is flexible, and his elegant turns make the audience go wild. but in the end, both sportsmen share the champagne, and the after-show party will go down in the history of the tunig series. ready, steady, go!

jax is a collective of like-minded artists, musicians, thinkers movers and booty-shakers, who believe there is more to records than just some grooves engraved into black plastic. their vision is to treat each release as a presentation in itself, complete with original and individual artwork, features and an exhibition. each production will feature artwork shown in a cube of about 8 cubic meters. every record-released will be strictly-limited to 500 copies, which includes a poster referencing the piece made by the artist! daniel roth was born in seeheim near frankfurt. he started to experiment with different styles of electronical music using an akai mpc and a juno 106 in 1997. by this time he wasnt thinking of making music his profession. he then started his studies in skulpturing at the städel in frankfurt. after having finished art school he took up producing music again, influenced by his art and contemporary dance music styles. with his jax release he showcases his ability to combine different elements with his unique touch.

dresdens cult label uncanny valley returns with the charming catalogue number six. following up jacob korns first artist ep for the label its c-beams turn now to continue the series of artist eps. break sls and sandrow ms project can be referred to as a true labels child. musically, both artists got to know each other only when the label was founded. for >strollin< they lend the vocal talents by tina slotta who is associated with uncanny valley as well. the result is an irresistible house-jam. easy vibrant beats are complemented by birds twittering, warm keys and tinas carefree lyrics. jackmates remix toughen things up and transfers the tracks with mighty detroit-chords into a real monster for the dancefloor. the slightly murkier >scrapyard< takes its strength out of the interaction between its vehement beats and the c-beams-typical sound excursions. finally, the instrumental of >strollin< rounds up the ep.

produced by close friend black coffee, the original mix provides a suitably deep and meaningful platform for bantwinis heartfelt lyrics about phony relationships and, in turn, his soulfully immaculate delivery. lush afro-edged rhythms lead into smart bursts of trumpet, cool double bass-lines and stirring rhodes solos - a rich musical weave more than amplifying bantwinis performance.
a wealth of stylish remixes skilfully widens wasting my times dancefloor appeal. gallic house sophisticate rocco ups the tempo, cracking whip-smart beats against thumping kick drums and infectious metallic key stabs, as does paris kingpin dan ghenacia, thanks to a fiesty vocal remix and dub fusing gothic mood and jack-happy sass in fine style. ghenacias versions have already, in fact, become a thunderous week-in-week-out staple of his ibizan circo loco residency at dc10 this summer. elsewhere, real tone main man franck roger offers a neat, dubby riff on black coffees original production, injecting sweet balafon melodies and additional percussive pep.

elektro willi and his son are back. two years on board of a club cruise ship - thats enough. dad, we go ashore! sure, it was only a small step from selling washing-machines via the more or less obscure music industry to club ship animation. but sometimes even the most spectacular evening dinners, the most exciting special guests become boring. you just want to pull of your sweaty vinyl-showsauna-suit and get back to your origins: e.g. selling washing-machines. but without melancholy: on the aida, the willi-show became improved, in mediterranean nights, a new album was drafted into the starry sky.

october and john osborn are proud to present the inaugural 12inch on their newly minted bristol and berlin based house & techno label: tanstaafl records. tanstaafl is an acronym for there aint no such thing as a free lunch. we kick things off with john osborns debut release, epoch 4 backed with a darker, reduced, dub-influenced version. john based in berlin worked with october in his bristol based studio to create and produce some wonderful, raw, dirty analogue house music. both tracks were meticulously produced by herr osborn and recorded and engineered by october. laurie appleblims joined the studio session and he dove straight into the juno 60 and played the melody that finnishes the track off. tough floor business for your feet and mind, tried and tested around the world. a great start for this promising label.

massive versions by detroits theo parrish and burnt friedman!
theo roars into a fierce, uglier-than-ugly edit, with no let-up for thirteen minutes, when it crashes to a standstill: a hurtling, mesmerizing ride, multi-layered and clustered with synth washes, bleeps and alarms, galloping drums, clattering percussion.burnts shangaan variation is perforce more chilled, lithe, reverberating. the drums are crafted and fatback, with moody vocal interjections and haunting keys, chocka with dub thrills and spills, lethally spiked with bass.
