we are happy to announce the first release from ultrastretch featuring nottingham-born and now london- based artist matthew burton. a – who loves yous short, sharp hats and robotesque samples build slowly and aloofly to what becomes a somehow familiar and nostalgically tinted style. it is in fact, sampled from the 1987s >the running man< soundtrack, originally composed by harold faltermeyer and picked and plucked apart by matthew burton to make it into his own. the epic synth riff melted with its strong kick and tightly sprung sound corners are eerie and atmospheric. >who loves you< resonates with all of us with its clear 80s feel thats been manipulated into a new and exciting piece of underground music from matthew burton. b – small winner takes us on another journey all together. a deceivingly kicky intro steers us into a combination of swooning orchestral brass and delicate jazzy piano keys who share their space with a crunchy and inviting rhythmic stride. its cleverly concocted instrumental experimentation lends its listeners ear towards the smooth ambience while the hypnotic beat keeps us subconsciously moving. dramatic pauses, a syncopated yet soothing orchestral fusion build >small winner< into an original and intriguing musical piece.
oooh super hot one from til! truth is light keeps charging along with what could be their most dynamic release yet. still obscure but rather less obtuse than previous outings! limited quantities again. the label shout a four track 12 inch beast that includes a huge gospel cover of sylvesters already smash underground disco hit >i need you<. if this doesnt turn people out, then you should throw these records at people in the club and aim for their necks!
some of you outhere has might already heard from the two young talented guys from london named home park. sam fussell and rob glassett with their next record after releases for labels like bliq, consisting of two older tunes on the a side (incl. what a day) and two new tunes on the b side.

the emerging talent of subb-an is ushered into the culprit fold for the labels eleventh release. an extended member of the culprit clan in spirit and through his associations with hot natured and matt tolfreys leftroom, the young lad from birmingham clearly shares, much like his uk brother-in-arms jamie jones, culprits quintessential moody funk-infused sensibility. his debut ep for culprit, >what i do< is a statement of intent for a man with a definite interest in exploring the soulful and playful edges of house and techno. >what i do< has been slaying discerning dancefloors for months, blending strong chicago house roots with the polished warmth that la-based culprit has come to embody, but never forgetting darker clubbier atmospheric
pional takes things in stride. and we like that. despite the enthusiastic response towards >a moot point<, his debut on our label, he has kept it low. locked in his studio, with his mic and his machines, recording non-stop but being extremely picky about what he chooses to release. thats why we are a tremendously thrilled about introducing you to >we have been waiting for you<, a song that has been blowing us away since the first time we heard it.
tevo howard (rush hour, beautiful granville) macht aus dem klassischen house-sound seiner heimatstadt chicago etwas neues und aufregendes. seine tracks basieren auf analogen old-school-beats. was tevo howard indes von der retro-fraktion abhebt, ist sein sinn für melodien und basslines. nun präsentiert dieser unglaublich talentierte newcomer seine ersten vier tracks für permanent vacation.
superb new ep by one of düsseldorfs finest – john gazoo! get ready for some salsoul fuelled disco drama on >what happened< and enter the time warp to take a trip back to the days when manhattans time square wasnt transformed to disney world yet.

the monkeys & what what records are back with a new release! saturday night fish is a catchy big band house track inspired by 50s style rocknroll & swing music. the second track, zumbador, is every bit as dancefloor compatible as saturday night fish. its more with a latin summer feeling therefor with a massive techy pace.
THATS WHAT IT IS (PATRICK KUNKEL / ROCCO CAINE RMXS)
12 Inch 29.10.10
austrian musican martin brunner aka madney moon scores with two refreshing tracks. with a wonderful catchy melody, the first track >is it hot< sounds quite imposing. patrick kunkel (coccon recordings) does a very nice remix and straightens the framework. the second original mix >is it what< is a powerful contemporary techno track with a dark concise vocal. its therefore no wonder that rocco caine does his typical deep interpretation of that track. the remix sounds monstrous and gives your spoilt feet all they want and love on the techfloor.

after appearing on record for the first time as part of cologne tape (magazine 1), barnt now releases his debut on magazine: the ep what is a number, that a man may know it? is a hypnotic and free-floating haze, heavily influenced by the dance floor. few times before has the psychedelic energy of the 1970s been combined with techno house in such an idiosyncratic way.

fresh & ltd repress !! mark murphy is a jazz singer legend. he started in the late 50is, ruled the 60is and his records are a hipsters must have since the 70is. then he came to fame again when one gilles peterson got him into dingwalls in the late 80is and japanese producers united future organisation made murphys version of stolen moments (he wrote the lyrics) really big. recently he releases his second album love is what stays on verve (germany), produced by famous german trumpeter till brönner. another famous german producer, yes its henrik schwarz, touched the original track with its deep vocals and full orchestrra arrangement and created the ultimative fusion of jazz and the recent deep house sound from berlin. extremly tasteful. you will never heard strings, wooden brass, and such deepnees of murphy featured in the recent clubcontext but will do thanks to henrik schwarz. different to many others this remix gets released right after being finished in henriks studio so you can say this is the sound of the moment
vassilis pallas aka v.sexion was born in the late 80s, in a decade when techno and house put its little stone to the music world. in early childhood he found himself shakin in disco tunes moving it up to punk and rock. but it was jazz, afro beats, garage house and urban music that finally deeply influenced him in developing a particular music style...

upon yous first release of black gold in 2010 is a compilation shared by the cheapers, mathias mesteno, channel x and onno. the cheapers have given us a track that is slightly more technoide than what we have become used to, with an absolute bass beast called madame sans merci on a1. mr. mesteno has given us the second part of tante dunkel (once again paying homage to one of copenhagens most illustrious night creatures) with this house track. the first part was released on our last home sweet home compilation. after flipping the vinyl, b1 unveils channel xs last offering before releasing their debut album on stil vor talent”in the beginning of 2010, making us all the more pleased about this dependable club track. b2 is reserved for our dutch colleague onnos kicking tech house track that shows that upon you know how to start out the new year in the right way

what better way to get aquatinted with this great artist,than by listening to this dance floor monster in disguise.nima gorji, a man of the world, son of a travelling musicianfrom teheran, is an exceptional musician on his own. hiselectronic meets organic productions reflect the versatilecultural influences he was exposed to as a kid and afterfleeing his homeland, moving throughout the europe untilfinally settling on the white isle. his premiere release onkanzyanis label is a unique mishmash of deep house andeastern ethnic sounds, which perfectly reflect theunderground vibe, dominating the ibiza in the summer oftwo-o-nine.
after a some big remixes and a nice original outing this summer on get physical, catz n dogz return back to their home label. this time the guys team up with their friend, the hot producer, pol_on while also featuring the candid vocals of fellow mothershipper , monty luke. this is a great single to check out as we wait for their new 2nd album for mothership due out in the spring of 2010. the sexy analog sound of the original mix will fit well within any proper house set, but i particularly prefer the drama queen mix which breaks into a beautiful melodic section 3 quarters of the way through. groovy.
london based masters of the groove berkson & what are back on pokerflat with another sublime excursion into deep flowing hypnotic and modern house music. the pairs infamous live show has taken them far and wide, delivering their detailed and unparalleled electronics from berlin to miami and back... now their story continues with the >ghosts ep<. the extended, jacking trip that is >ghosts< is a strong grooving reduced house track in the purest sense of the phrase. tough, tight chicago style beats flare and snap as a melancholic and mysterious synth motif dances around the funk-meets-dub bass sequence. all manner of ethereal spoken word passages, uplifting vocal meanderings and cuts are then intertwined in a complex ambiguous narrative that fills the room with the ghosts of house and soul music gone by... understated, uncompromising and super functional! next up the boys lay down a tribal house groover, full of thick keys, richly embellished drums and spiritual vibes a-plenty. no doubt first jammed out during one of their long studio sessions, the live feel and flowing arrangement opens up beautifully with soft key flourishes and tender vocal hooks.
