ellen allien and apparat, two headstrong musicians who indeed differ in their musical context but still come together not just at the peripheral rims, collaborated on an album together: >orchestra of bubbles<.by a deep plunge into the world of sound of their counterpart both are trying to find gateways in order to expand their own possibilities. while apparat used to stand for an algorithms-based aesthetics and ellen allien fathomed the possible heights and depths of the dance floor widthways as well, for their joint production they dabble in a principle which electronic music is dedicated to from the very beginning and which is now only spelled differently: contingency

brand new rob in. between electro techhouse & minimal release but still very efficient on dancefloor. sweet & hot production

electronic house and tech house with a slice of tribal a sides original mix is a gritty sleazy knockout aimed at the hottest progressive floors out there especially as the minimal but wickedly effective bit of depeche y vocal slides in flips nocando remix goes deeper at first with a filthy minimalist electro bender that warms up a bit slowly before catching fire at the break big one

already played by karotte, an exciting 3-track ep. the a-side >cinematique< starts with a dark bass and a special rave-line, which leads you through the whole track. banging claps and sharp hihats makes this track a good choice for ecstatic moments on the dancefloor. the b-side boasts >praymantis<, a track reminiscent of old 808 state tracks, but stripped down to modern and soulful acid house. the second track on the b-sdie is >domina< which rounds up this versatile ep and has this special oldschool house feeling of releases on hibias or from don carlos from the beginning of the 90s. a smart and relaxed journey from clubs peak time to smart afterhour sessions

cool number here that fits snugly in between tribal and acid 2 very good mixes to choose from and both rotate arond some large tribal drums swirling dance synths and a countdown vocal there is some 303 in both the mixes but not enough to dominate the track this should put all feet on the floor

the original of special powers is a throbbing beast of a track that s just crying out to be played on a big room soundsystem where itll wreak complete havoc! twisted, psychedelic s**t from outer space is one way to describe it! shur-i-kan calms things down a bit for his latin workout mix, but only a bit! tight brazilian beats keep things grooving while the layers of tripped out keys and fx swirl around on this alternate version. finally we see milton jackson revisit i want it so he can turn it upside down and inside out creating a darker, more tribal version for the headz. all in all another fine collection of underground goodness that we re sure youll get plenty of use out o

so here we are, 2006 and gourmet is about to put out release number 33! after spending lots of energy putting out the barcode trilogy we thought it best to get back to doing something a bit more manageable. the first idea was to go on permanent vacation as were lazy by nature, but instead we decided to start a new remix series inventively called redux.

the original is a monster on the dancefloor , we ve been dropping it for months now and had enormous feedback wherever we played it. it will take dirt crew recordings into another direction and will continue where the tigerskin release left off. a new and fresh view on minimal and trance but never forgetting the house groove and that s what it s all about for us. the b-side features a cool old shool approach to the track by mr c who has been a long time partner of francis and is also involved in his matter:-form label. he takes the main groove of the record and adds some nice acid lines to it , all in a true 808 based groove , real analogue power !!

berlin s heroes of the night autotune have done it again for fumakilla. after month of carful and stea dy toiling in the studio, >department #1< has the autotune tech-house touch but elves into deeper waters. >little machine< is a track for the night, burning but steady, building to bust. it will get the kids on the floor, no holds bar. >night shift< has traces of french house without loosing any of the power that autotune are known for churning out. the third offering on the ep, the aptly named >le sound hypnotique< with memorable vocal samples is just right for keeping it going in the early morn. autotune s work has paid off with this exquisitely produced ep, and the world s dancefloors will be thankful

a1 starts with a pleasant warm mood. short, funky keys, a cool bassline and shuffling hihats push this track forward - smoothly but surely.>breast milk< on a2 starts a bit more aggressively, with a slightly distorted bass sound and some rough beats. added chords mixes the rough atmosphere up a bit, finishing in an extraordinary mixture which makes this very special piece of club music. the flip side boasts trapez artist alex under s splendid remix of this track. the rework of the spanish producer delivers an unbelievable bomb of funkiness and high-end groove. enormously powerful music, presented in such a fleet-footed way. big fun & frenzy on all dancefloors!

this one is the third ep by dole & kom on ek records, before the long awaited album will come this spring.. four great tracks reduced to its essence, but darker than their last productions !!

big city music has this very special hip-shaking beat construct. the track just starts with one hihat, one short shaker, dry claps paired with two simple lead sounds. one of them repeating itself until the end and one to be morphed up and down, increasing and decreasing all the time. an exciting journey through changing tone lengths and different faces of at least one melody. on the flip side you find >asanebo<, another unique smasher. again this funky groove, but the sound surrounding comes a bit more spheric and mystic. an excellent track to loose yourself on the floor

aka troy pierce (minus), enemy love ( cover y our face ) is a collection of dark eerie and sometimes twisted minimal techno tracks. all the tracks sit together in a similar v ein, but all shine indiv idually and the album walks the ambigious line between dancef loor hits and af ter hours jams. tunes like the anthemic grace (anxiety ) with its almost post-punk v ocal and hy pnotic, twangy melody is sure to send dancef loors ov er the edge. ref lected and leav ing take y ou down a darker path of introspection with the help of gibby millers dark, brooding v ocals. this album will push and pull y ou through a tripped-out laby rinth of sounds, sad and heavy-hearted at times powerful and full of grace others

not for the faint-hearted, calum walkers latest 3- tracker is as underground as a soviet dissident s tea party, but thankfully a good deal more enjoyable. moreover, thanks to all manner of mega riffs there s nothing remotely elitist about it. check the eerie dub and back-in-the-day pianos of >communicate< or the disco pings and 70s electronic bass of new wave bang. genius dj play: groove armada, satoshi tomiie, ralph lawson, luke solomon, dj harri, ben cook (rong music)

the song starts with moroder alike bassline before the sweet but downright mean vocals from kiki kicks in, followed by more dark italo flavoured synthlines and pads before finally reaching a climax of humoungous propotions after the break. kiki delivers the vocal in a dark manner where you actually ask yourself is this the kiki we know.. scary !allready on heavy rotation by ewan pearson, tiefschwarz, … will be big!

>method to madness< kicks like a mule from second one with oldschool handclapping beats and rattling percussion and when those strings set in, the sensitive ones should better protect their behind, cause they announce the sledgehammer bassline - and all this is only the beginning of a crazy, twisting and turning wildpitch ride. for >paddy system< chris carrier is on the controls solo and will have you shake your money maker with a slightly latinesque b-boy style beat - somethin that you might expect from kenny dope - but then adds a these chugging, whipping synth chords for a good tech-house spank

huggotron is back in form with an other dancefloorslammer on confused. >breath< delivers a floor friendly ,hot dipped, hypnotic track with a slice of acid. >dance< the title really says it all is an uncompromising piece of material, while >live< applies his focus even deeper into the modern techno abysms, frightening and unpredictable but strangely alluring

this is the very first release of audio parish records, a label founded from a german/french dj and producer duo playing and producing true but raw kicking techhouse and electronic mover. the opener comes as a 4 tracker called the we put a spell on you ep. based on warm, ass shakin kicks tharau & decaine work with weird sound snippets, cool basselines and classic house elements bringing down everything to a dancefloor focused electronic groove

combines many styles and is a true crossover record that will work on any floor, techno, house or minimal. the track has the same kind of hypnotizing feeling like a john tejada record but it developes more towards a strong electro cut with its hitting snare and open structure. on the flip >man of the moment< andré kraml tears it up and puts down a solid groover. with his typical dense production and use of crazy samples and sounds it gets its own style we know from his great records he released last year on >crosstownrebels< and >firm<

f***ing wicked hard traxx from mahatma. brutal but groovy mind blowing hard techno and splatter schranz incl funky schranz house tune >was erlaube schranz<.

the third release from nachtfrequent brings us four new fresh tracks from leo cubanero. two of them – play and english mafia – were layed down in co-operation with patrick di stefano(generalelektrik). the first tune is a very clubby track sporting some eccentric dodgy sounds. minimal oppressive but easily triggerin your dancing feet at the same time. the following play plays slower but has however a very funky touch with mad pitched vocals and the jostling basslines. rigth here and anywhere else this track is a burner. funky fat sounds and vocals which seem to come out directly of the lunatic asylum. and finally english mafia which weaves in the garb of minimal house a very nice carpet with memorable elektroid sounds. fine pads - not one gram too much

this is a 3 tracker produced by jose rodriguez and is truly classy. the a side has a crisp bassline driven groove with various cutting sound fx and edits and has a very cutting groove. the flip side has a similar theme but with tearing synth edits and has a more minimal percussive feel
