in just three years, berlin based artist dehnert has gone from unknown talent to underground hero with his very own >raw techno< sound making waves on labels like his own imprint fachwerk and now delsin, where he finds himself at home amongst the future music of talented cohorts redshape, a made up sound, delta funktionen and more. this ep is an introduction to his upcoming album framework - an uncompromising album made up of pure techno tracks of the sort youd expect to hear on the dancefloors of places like berghain or tresor. they go from pulsing and classic sounding to skipping and glitchy, through greyed-out and sandy via swinging and syncopated but always with a sense of restraint and control whether they are abstract, apocalyptic, atmospheric or whatever else. although his tracks are undeniably functional, at the same time, they are neither nondescript nor forgettable: somehow, through masterful sound designs and an accomplished knack for blending real tension and atmosphere with his obvious basic channel and berghain influences, mike dehnert manages to lock you into whatever mood takes his fancy with apparent ease.

eminor 29 again comes up with massive minimalist techno.
coeter one & dubit - granatapfel - bring together a german and an italian sound designer and you get an experimental mixture of drums and carefully quantized grooves. the minimalistic framework of >granatapfel< is teamed up by vocoded vocals and an unique break which leads majesically from confusion to musical order.
scalameriya - ridley - by the serbian techno-guru scalameriya has a fast and pushy bass-dominated rhythm, an almost factory-like precision and a compulsive eye on the floor.
granatapfel - re:axis s going down remix - the remix of portuguese duo re:axis is less stripped-down than the original. with its thrilling melody, re:axis manage to give the track an epic touch.

>world music< is the second 12 inch from washington, dc based protect-u. as the title suggests, protect-u grooves to global soundz, but this newest release–once again brought to you by future times–is total mutant house/techno. on the a-side, synth lines bubble like 80s-style francis bebey, then burn up into a space-pulse overdrive. the flip, >u-uno<, is an underwater electro-sitar dream straight outta 24th century india, followed by a slo-mo dub of >world music< that slips back and forth between digital jamaica and european nu-romance.

the urgent bass tones of >tussilago< open another intense builder. textural, staccatto elements combine and head the attack as the track picks up steam through its several, breathless breaks. satisfyingly wicked! mikael jonasson is the next artist to have his say on figure. like a pack of gruesome bass monsters brawling in their subterranean lair, >random diversity< is a ferocious encounter to say the least. roaring with intensity and detailed, thrilling sound design, its a raw, brutally modern and fiercely powerful production

so … the story goes something like this: being inspired one day by 69 >desire<, vince decided to create an interpretation of it using his own unique sound. the track was done very quickly as a gimmick to send to carl craig as a mark of respect for his own track, now the track has been signed by carl for planet e and the world will now hear that very 12 minute piano and string filled beatless gimmick that is proving to be vinces most musical piece to date. its epic stuff. flipmode with >qualia< which takes off where vinces fcom material left off. deep driving hypnotic dancefloor material with an orchestra thrown in for good measure.

>corky< is the third ep from brand brauer frick on tartelet records and features a remix from tartelets own james braun. music has always been the defining core of tartelet records. this may seem like an obvious statement, but that was the very reason why it hit us like a ton of bricks when we receivedthe first demo from paul frick and his new band around two years ago you might say that the brandt brauer frick sound touched on a vibration that had been lurking in our musical subconscious. we ll resist the temptation to wax lengthy or lyrical about >corky< instead, we suggest you have a listen and let yourself be seduced by its panoramic echoes and pumping bass drum. hop aboard an odyssey that leads brandt brauer frick through the technoid city of detroit. its a fine ride indeed.

shadow sync are back with their latest true techno, full analog release on krd. poles is marked by a percussive sound which despite its inharmonic character yet keeps a trace of tuning making it similar to a voiced percussion. this main sound is arranged to form a sort of pseudo-melody determined by the different intensity, lenght and color of the reverb tail. the 909 delivers both the drum line and the bass line, realized using the tom section. the background is populated by friendly, ceaselessly mutating sonic organisms. magnetic fields is a train rolling through dark, post-industrial landscapes. its built around a drastically eqed 909 tom, a nervous echoed clap and a cross-rhythmic, 3 against 4 hypnotic bass line which evolves in a bell-like sound towards the pause. the atmosphere is saturated with sound vapors and the temperature is dangerously high: play at your own risk!

this killer release by echonomist proves to be one of his most diverse and promising attempts as he switches in between dance styles like houdini. the collaboration with dans mon salon in isolation is a wondering imaginative road trip into the avenues of detroit, driving in a black car as the boomy rhythmic sequence meets with high end pad strings, a haunting stuck acid bass-line and the vocals of a tortured soul seeking salvation. techno structure with modern tools.

some producers are just so underrated that it makes you sick. quadrant is a formation thats been around since 2005 and has released tracks on prestigious labels like renegade hardware, citrus, fokuz to name a few. the quality of their output is extraordinarily crisp and original that its hard not to notice them, this dermaphoria ep is exactly that. and as allways this quadrant release comes with a sexy cover by designer mesk.

slamming detroit like electronic techno...

a message from claude vonstroke: >sascha braemer has got the funk! i first heard him on the amazing thrill on kindisch which i charted in my top 3 tracks of 2008. after that i heard the even more amazing heinrichs and hirtenfeller album dark orbit, (my favorite album of 2009) on highgrade. i usually like to break new dirtybird artists but this time i had to go find this guy and beg him to make us something. sascha has got that tech-funk, caveman quality that is so elusive and hard for me to find as an a&r. and on this record you will hear why i went and found him. this is an absolute beast! both tracks are tried and tested club killers. truthfully, i cannot think of a better dance-floor record on dirtybird this year<

ulysses dj career began in 1991, when he started his universitys first techno radio show. shortly after graduating he returned to his hometown and became a player in the late-90s electro scene in new york, running some of the earliest large-scale electro parties in new york. guests included legends such as alexander robotnick and arthur baker, as well as recent stars like i.f., miss kitten and the hacker and adult. ulysses is not only about party promotion, however, and a close look at his diverse musical career will quickly shatter this misconception. although a long-time advocate of obscure disco and classic techno, ulysses is currently best known for the piano house anthem robotic hypnotic adventure from his neurotic drum band collaboration with john selway. in addition to the ndb ulysses collaborates with thugfuckers holmar filipsson as filipsson & ulysses, who are releasing soon-to-be classic eps of emotive electronic disco on internasjonal and bearfunk records. ulysses still continues to chart his own musical path with an incredible ep of dark pop for internasjonal spesial in the works, as well as some new club-friendly dance tracks on wurst and his solo debut for throne of blood. the acid reflux ep represents the diversity of ulyssess talent, from banging acid tracks to moody downtempo and grooving electronic house. to round things out ulysses recruited prins thomas to deliver an unprecedented nine-minute rerub of >acid reflux< that preserves the originals 303 groove but injects a heaping dose of cosmic atmosphere and live instrumentation into the mix. essential

for more than 5 years cargo edition has been standing for the deeper house productions of moon harbour/cargo edition’s roster of artists. so far acts like ekkohaus, michael melchner and markus schatz have been setting the tone. now this platform is offered to artists who haven’t yet appeared on the label. the warehouse release is the first of a series of various artists eps. we invited artists like steven cock from dresden, ralph sliwinski as well as the italian acts mass prod & marco daquino and minimono to contribute tracks to warehouse vol.1. the sound of the first ep is all about consistent house music that does not need any cheap rave tricks. old school house music is quoted with skills and style and translated to the modern dance floor. warehouse vol.1 is the perfect start into the fifth year of cargo edition. luciano (cadenza): cargo edition is a great label, probably one of the most quality dance music.. full support!

a1 fur elodie is a cheapy guitar tune combined with the piano to form acoustic sound. other elements are also quite cheapy but sounds very good altogether as a confortable track. a very atmospheric tune to hypnotize people into fumiyas deeper side. the original version is on his album unknown 3 released in 2008. b1 ring bell is a track combined an acoustic loopy drum with a modular bass sound to form a kind of rare groove. a kind of chant starts coming in out at certain points to take you somewhere you have never been before. b2 dealer trick (short version) has got a kind of old school flavour and sounds quite like 90s house with fumiyas dirty, cheeky, and loopy groove. a trick for jack in the box

this is the third single taken from boohgaloo zoos devastatingly good self-titled debut album. >i got< is a relentless disco groover while >come to this< is a slow-mo exotica house bomb (whatever that may mean) with some hints of exotica. two fat and funky joints. this time, the remixes are courtesy of mugwump and aardvark. mugwump takes the original and turns it into an electrifying discoid tour de force. aardvark does his thing, which lately means taking a song, and giving it an electronic shock treatment. those who like forward thinking electronic music will go bananas for this one. post >nameyourfavourite<?

keyboard masher came to our attention with their incredible debut km editions 1 ep early last year, selling out immediately through the handful of uk outlets lucky enough to get a few. as a fairly under the radar operation from london town, enthusiasts and champions of the good stuff, km have kindly allowed us to help them move the sensibly titled and equally brilliant km editions 2 ! picking up plaudits from titans of balearia like phil mison, moonboots etc, km editions 2 is a heady mix of early 80s, synth drenched boogie (amor & satisfaction), arabic influenced folk-funk (discotheque arabe) and a beautiful alan parsons style mid-tempo jam in the shape of >tartari< really very special indeed...

desolat are proud to present davide squillace. the rain might be slow to depart in northern europe, but this spring release from prolific dj, producer and a stand-up friend of the desolat family davide squillace should help to transform any lingering clouds into smoke-like cirrus swirls. time to warm up for summer! >what about the vice< is an urgent, bouncy, hissing number to take the dancer deep. / repress (black vinyl)

composite family welcomes feygin, a guy influenced by prince, the beatles. louie vega, jimpster, herbie hancock, jazztronik, dop, will smith, billy joel and woddy allen. he loves anything that flows smoothly, whether its into his ear or into his belly. feygin comes from a family where everyone played some sort of instruments. yet, he never learned to play anything himself. about 2 years ago he decided he will make dance music, or his own interpretation of it. so far he is doing well. you can call his style an eclectic mix of dance music and its various sub genres. as long as it grooves, feygin is on it. at some point in his life, he d like to be able to collaborate with real live musicians, and really push dance music to its boundaries

party breaks unabashedly shows its colors with 4 new brilliant marcos cabral edits. with samples ranging from boogie, to piano house, to a beefed up disco ballad, marcos layers sounds and phrases in an effortless manor for major effect. sometimes robin s will peak through, sometimes bob-a-rella…all within a strict drum machine groove. all the tracks were clearly built with the dj in mind, repetitive when wanting to hypnotize, and pop when wanting to catch listeners.

desolat is happy to announce a new 12inch by giuseppe cennamo. born in naples, italy in 1980, giuseppe took to the turntables at age 13. following the legacy of fellow napolitanos like marco carola, danilo vigorito and davide squillace, he took the inspiration of classic house and melodic synths to build his own brand of tech. his tracks on several labels got a lot of peak time play and caught the ears of loco dice. fortuitously, after a break to clear his head, mr cennamo decided to take the inspiration of a loco dice dj set to create something specifically tailored for desolat, which resulted in this release.this particular slice of vinyl is aimed squarely at the djs - with the title track amanecer digging deep into the pads, a cantering kick and gentle swing that hints at detroit forefathers. cuando tu quieres stomps its heels and morphs into a very whimsical bouncing house burner: plenty of fun to be had with this one. dejame asi feels like a spaghetti western re-imagined with the help of a conical moving laser beam, a childrens choir and a bag full of kazoos while the rest of nothing is a reduced, pinocchio-like percussion-driven track with an insistent bassline

boys noize has compiled 12 modern acid jams done by bnr artists and homies like feadz, joakim & krikor and brodinski tributing 20 years of acid....

one would be curious as to what a track such as this one would sound like. images and visuals floating through your head as you press play, the airy, angelic pad intro induces you into a trance-like state before soothing piano lines and a pitched-up vocal reminiscent of the early hardcore era takes you away. as the drums come in with a half-time feel, it is easy to imagine japanese taiko drummers playing their part. once the break takes hold, a short span of melodic heaven uplifts before the drums take control again.

super strong new release on the cheeky be chosen sublabel! this time from the eastern soundboys tasnadi & juno6 !! hq... little bit like moodymann

fof kick off 2011 with a nod to the past in the form of justin drake (peace division) and kevin griffiths- (tsuba) -the devil-s eyes-, a deliciously grimy jackin- groove, coming on like a low slung mid 90s house production a la schatrax. we enlisted the talents of christopher rau for the first remix. as many of you know christopher has had an impressive 2010 culminating in his critically acclaimed lp -asper clouds- for the always excellent smallville label. chris cleverly uses elements of the original, intertwined them into an altogether quirkier, more optimistic deep house groove with a definite injection of -fun-: to round off the package, new talent bleak takes the reigns, providing a peak time techno stomper. bleak-s debut single will be released on hamburg imprint -sudden drop- sometime in early 2011 and promises to mark bleak out as a name to look out for.

the sophomore album from adele on vinyl lp.

the second release on claap appeals to those who enjoy mixing long transitions and like to create moments during their dj set. sounds from the continents features two wonderfull musical collages, inspired from the favourite findings of label head gummihz in world music. loose percussion, hypnotising xylophones, guitars and singing voices take you on an introductory trip to the beautiful soundscapes of the african continent. high priest and toba lee theme also feature elements of field recordings which alex has collected throughout the years. sharpened with an extra edge for those who seek!

dubstep don vent brings the pain with this release on hardcore beats. >shogun of the dark< will slice you up like a samurai with is stupidly big bass that switches as the vocal samples interrupt the rolling beats. on the flip sees vent team up with critically acclaimed rap, grime and dubstep group foreign beggars. so need we say more?

big with: massimiliano pagliara, cosmo vitelli, jonnie wilkes (optimo), nakion, 40 thieves, ajello, red rack em, the heels of love, matt (rvng), dj morpheus (tigersushi), fabrizio mammarella... from the beating latin heart of the modern disco world, discodromo join us for their first slow motion release and our third overall. with two original tracks and two stunning remixes this pair of cheeky italians first bring us the laid back charms of stars and rain featuring the vocal talents miss plug in. strutting funk and cascading synths are the order of the day on this taut laser workout. with a bitterest melody and relentless drums, this is a cinematic excursion into 10am disco music. miss plug ins blank eyed vocals are one part rimini, to two parts berlin giving the track a hazy, druggy feel that will work like magic on the even the most demanding dance floors.

dolly is on a roll! one hot release after another. after tyrez from chicago its now brooks mosher, another us producer, delivering the heat. four outstanding funky deephouse cuts in the best motor city / panoramabar tradition... this will keep them moving like theres no tomorrow... another oustanding release on this high-quality house label run by panoramabar resident steffi!
