going home late one foggy night in london, i turn the corner to see my bus waiting at the bus stop, lights on, doors open, completely empty. i get on the bus and wait, a few minutes later the driver gets on, he was hiding behind a tree. now i always call it the ghostbus. stopping and starting, traveling along are the landscapes of sound recordings, perfectly balanced between synthetic and abstract layers of sounds. ghostbus invites you to travel along an electronic road of pulses and distortion, a travel between vintage and modern atmospheres, shifting into automatic vintage synthesis gears, a journey into the dark and cold nights of london. samp gives this music his trademark ambience in confined spaces sound, helped along by nax_acid both in collaboration and with his own edit version

ltd 2010 repress !!! marco carolas string of recent releases on plus8 and his own 2m imprint are now effortlessly hurtling forward under the weight of their own momentum and the bloody cash ep shows no sign of relenting. in fact if its possible, this collection of four new combustible tunes adds another dimension to his already substantial repertoire. on the title track bloody cash, carola immediately shows his intent, letting fly with a spiraling tribal groove full of bright, crisp percussive elements that stretch skywards towards the sun. the tough, earthy beats keep everything rooted to the ground as he taps into some age-old hedonistic urge, creating a universal groove that rolls out across the oceans before breaking on the shores of each continent with an all encompassing call to dance. the main body of the track incorporates a straight synth stab doused in reverb that sets the scene for the finely crafted main keyboard riff, which is an accomplishment in itself. alternating between two complimentary parts, it elevates the backing track to another level. perfectly balanced and enhanced for maximum danceability, its without doubt one of carolas finest works to date

the second release of >vibes - new&rare music< brings rick wilhites long time friend and fellow 3chairs producer theo parrish to the table. theo gives us an adventurous ride like only theo can. starting out on a blues tip, this track morphs into a string laden jazz affair without missing a beat. epic stuff!
on the b-side its a one-way ride to chicago with ricardo miranda blasting on the car stereo. this relative newcomer, who has recorded for hour house is your rush and vega records, really outdoes himself on >urbanism<. as we cruise into town, heading straight to lakeshore drive, this track kicks off so soulful, yet so raw! it reminds us of the best days of prescription underground, on which this easily could have been released. addictive.

the first teaser from the long awaited second album of phil mison (aka cantoma) comes in a true idjut boy haze. reminiscent of early u star at its best, their remix of >north shore< is one of the most locked-in grooves we have heard for some time. the vocal version sucks you into an almost trance like fashion and is purely made for the late night hours on a sweaty dancefloor. hearing this on a big system is truly a spiritual experience. the instrumental ties down an amazing second 12 inch for leng and gives us further excitement on the release of the second cantoma album. simply terrific.

our man will sabatino aka sabo doesnt need too much introduction to those who know. his long running ep series is back as he continues to move away from the tropacalia vibe he used to be known for into a well rounded party vibe. this time we got deep cosmic disco remix of the radiohead tune >house of cards<, a beefed up edit of bow wow wows classic >i want candy< with extended intro and outro. on the flip theres some african space disco with lots of dubby elements and atmospheric break downs, plus amadou & mariams >artistiya<, with pumped up drums, subtle edits, and some smart delays to take this classic straight to the dancefloor.

fear of flying regular leif provides the 4th release for fofs revitalised limited label. a supa slick slice of modern vocal house, priority sees leif up his game with supremely tight production, a killa funked up b-line and sensual vocal from new recruit donna lea. for remix duties we opted for the up & coming talents of young un ethyl along with production partner flori. they come up with an altogether different take, coaxing elements of the vocal into a bigger sounding deep house experience. finally we thought we opt for a little bit of a curve ball in the shape of daze maxim. upon hearing dazes installment in the excellent story series we knew he was someone we needed to get on board - here daze strolls into tough tech house territory with a groove slightly reminiscent of rick wade at his most dance floor

italojohnson greets the dance floor with his first vinyl release embodying three functional tracks appropriate for any party mood.
the a-sides systematic drumming maliciously rumbles through the prime time floor as the mellow waves begin to take form and surge into a hysterical tsunami of beats. an emotional sunrise paves the tracks finale.
a similar functional sound continues on b1 and soon after, exposes itself as a percussive chicago house track as the 707, 727 and abyssal bassline protest against loungy house.
the dubbier interpretation of the italojohnson concept can be found in the final track on b2. the 808-thunderstorms and melancholic pads have lived through more than one summer, yet have only triumphed through charm and optimism.

the mole cooks up two slow burners for the warm northern nights. >nervous disid< emerges from somewhere between bobby konders and that old dance mania b-side you always want to play - but never have the nerve. thick fuzzy kicks, and jacked up toms - result in a heavy techno disco jam for the mixers and lovers.
>secret mummy< is a slo-mo romp into colins secret cookie factory, flavors are tough, fierce, and popping. 9 minutes of organico-inspired house music mixed with forgotten disco horns and old rusted cowbells.

the amazing situation return with two sides of love – gangster love and sutra love. the gangster side is an amazing clash of a skit from american gangster (heavily inspired by the eddy grant produced >funky like a train< by the equals) with donna summer. the resulting blend is as inspiring and surprising as it is unlikely. but with their usual disregard for boundaries and rules, situation seamlessly melt the two original cuts together into a perfect slice of discoid boogie that absolutely sets fire to the dancefloor. on the flip side, love of a deeper and groovier type oozes from sutra love. its a case of yet more top class, bass led disco action thats firmly focussed on maximum dancefloor reaction. this is without a doubt one of the best situations ever! and with heavy releases on disco deviance and their own imprint already under the belt that really is saying something.

acid and techno tracks from the files of mauser. he is straightup representing chicago techno that moves heads and dancefloors.
blackman: begins with a jazzed out acid house beat and progresses into a journey of ryhthms. the appregiated melody lines, bring out your inner jack as the acid lines sneaks up on you so sweetly. yes, i m jacking to the pulse with the four on the floor!
dancin: previously released on the digital only >jack pulse ep< (synapsis002), dancin is built on a melody line that constantly filters together with sparse sounds and vocals that say, dancin. what an acid banger, seriously you will start dancin.
binary: a video game synth is abundant in this track, mauser turns this sounds into a jacking melody. i m appreciating this chicago techno story. bounce, bounce, bounce.
regenerate: says, >time for the techno beatdown<. mauser shows us his love for techno as regenerate moves and bangs.

loco & jam are northern irish based techno duo, lloyd reid and james peoples. now its time for their brand new ep on marco baileys mb elektronics label. >roundhouse< builds up slow with a nice deep bass but turns into a big room techno track before you know it! the second track is a splendid remix of >roundhouse< by ascion & d. carbone. what the funk! this track has such a nice groove and will fit in a variety of record-bags. on the b-side you will find the uplifting track >3d symphony<. this track will surprise you again and again: so many things are happening here. peak time slamming techno destroyer!

remember your first time at a rave? of course you don’t. and if you do, you either did it wrong or you’re a liar. with the latest installment of the 7777 onslaught, jared wilson aims to remind you of a time you dont remember. this ep is a souvenir back in time. beyond the zero and beyond the one and back into the analog bringing back memories you never had and experiences you never felt. paris massacre is reminiscent of a time when function mattered more than form and fashion, when sound systems and no lighting took precedence over state of the art fashion shows and laptop djs. its not nostalgic by any stretch of the word, though. how can one be nostalgic for a time they cant recall? the flip of the record is the wonderful >scmocid<, a wonderful reexamination of what it means to work a 303 to near death.

close your eyes and concentrate your mind on positive thoughts. it is time to get into another dimension, a parallel world: its time for a new minimono on bosconi records! and now again, our two talented mates, fabio della torre & ennio colaci, show us their great ability to fuse art of making powerful grooves with a great catchy melodic approach!

jamie jones and lee foss much admired hot natured production project expands into a new label series of original material - hot creations – whose debut release from the wunderkind jamie jones is the simply stupendous >ruckus< ep.

aniligital music is back at it with anthony mansfield and tal m. klein and their evil ways! building upon the successes of their previous collaborations, the villainous duo raises the stakes and take things deeper with this enigmatically titled three tracker. ciento ocho is spanish for 108, the tempo of the first track on the ep. a creepy crawly builder with 8-bit roots that culminate in a huge funk breakdown with an insidious bass hook (if you have any doubt,just fast forward 3 minutes into the track) next up is desayuno en timpanis which we think means breakfast at timpanis in spanish. needless to say this ones heavy on the percussive elements, including of course lots and lots of timpani drums. desayuno en timpanis gets going pretty quickly and doesnt let up. check the flanged upright bass breakdown for extra bigness! purely non-stop huge sound system busting dancefloor action. speaking of floor fillers, have we shown you our tiger bomb? bomba de tigre is the definitely the deepest track on the ep, but lest anthony and tal rest on the laurels of their 808 kicks and 303 basslines, this tigre is a stalking beast that explodes in a vicious classic house attack!

up next here at dirt crew recordings is one of our favourite producers and biggest talents in the house scene these days. jay shepheard gained much respect with his fantastic releases and remixes for compost, diynamic, buzzin fly and most recently on his own retrofit label that just saw its launch a few months ago and has been taking off since then. dry percussive house music with a cool disco feel to it and great 80s string hooks. nothing less is offered on this new ep for our label, 4 tracks that go down the same smooth path into house heaven… your dancefloors will love it !

nice price deal !!! >a night on the wonk< is on an experimental tip with highly addictive horn and chime hooks. the gemmy remix takes the chime section, gives it some of the well known purple treatment and turns it into a highly distinctive but slightly sickly intro. i say sickly but thats perhaps because i have listened to it a lot of times in a fairly short period of time. however we are then treated to a bleepy roller with moderate variation to keep things interesting. this makes it perfect for an early set or casual listening. >detached reality< crackles its way through some haunting vocals and evil guitar riffs creating a tense but soothing atmosphere ? detaching you from reality, sinking you into your seat while your mind starts to play tricks with itself. what are we really here for?

gavin herlihy is back on cadenza, and he comes bearing what can only be seen as an instant anthem. remember those foam toys, the ones where you just had to add water, and theyd swell into wonderful, unexpected shapes? back burner is a lot like that, but no water needed: just a needle in the groove, or a laser across the aluminum, is enough to send this sucker ballooning to enormous proportions.

supported by luciano, dj sneak, laurent garnier, tiefschwarz, seth troxler, sasha dive, nick curly, livio & roby, jimpster, brothers vibe, deetron, dj w!ld and many more!!! >woman< is an instant classic for these springtime months, emanating pheromones into the air. this single-sided 12inch includes the original, nearly ten-minute, version, although you can expect some remixes from top-tier names later this year

demdike stares debut album >symbiosis< was released in late 2009 and explored sean canty and miles whittakers interest in re-appropriated found sounds of all colours and origins. fast adopted into the >hauntological< canon, the album evoked the noises and spirits of distant yet oddly familiar locations.

after the first successful release with the swinging track 1927 by shemian, burlesque musique goes one step further and invites the band budzillus to contribute a stomping balkan beat song which the labelheads put into a garment of lucious tech house. every instrument is recorded live and used in this pumping remix by aka aka. if youre into the black magic, buy the vinyl. it contains also the first release by shemian!

truly beautiful deep house records are things to be treasured, akin to proper songs that will last the test of time, not made to meet a fleeting fad. this is one of those records and a real pinnacle & departure for blm & pawas. although the term deep is an oft overused one, >waiting game< personifies the genres true key traits with a subtly moving groove that gradually builds, using layers of subtle percussion and a rich, warm synth motif to make a rich tapestry of sounds before finally introducing the beautiful female vocal that gives the track its name. patrice scott liked the track so much that he agreed to remix it - his first ever outside of his own, excellent, sistrum label. using plenty of the original track parts but taking it a different direction, patrice really has come up with something special. the track moves along with snippets of the main vocal and clever use of the main synth, the groove being underpinned by patrice s classic sense of production before moving into a more classic >detroit< ending - a mindset with a bigger, more dramatic sensibility

die erstver®ffentlichung der langenj?hrigen losen zusammenarbeit zwischen dem gitaristen und s?nger von sonic youth lee ranaldo, jim o rourke und dem deutschen experimentalk?nstler christoph heemann.
listen to the words fall apart as christoph heemann deconstructs lee renaldos recitation of >bloomington indiana?<, then flip the disc and hear heemann and jim o rourke work a little bit more space into the mix with >autumn<. like the space cowboys they are, streamline rides again!

supported by: nick curly, anja schneider, samuel l session, steve bug, will saul, milton jackson.. after releases from drei farben house and paulo olarte, polytone is joined by matthias vogt. being a member of motorcitysoul (together with frankfurts house legend crock), matthias vogt has been teaching lessons in deepness for years now. in his solo works vogts profound education as a jazz musician is just as present. thus, >together as one< is carried by wonderfully deep chords, which are accentuated by a contrapuntal bassline. a classic male vocal highlights the soulfulness even more and turns this track into a marvellous deephouse affair.

track 2! john daly continues his evolution as a producer and comes with some of the best works he ever did! rooted in chicago house traditions of larry heard he comes with track 2 on his own designer label for tracks he loves to play. this is an ultimate house track that very few djs can resist. classic groove, epic build up, intense synths, sexy bass lines! he navigates between classic deep house and his own desire to go into oceanic depths. larry heard would be proud of him!

for their 3rd release well rounded bring you the imaginative and playful funky-influenced house sound of hackman. this ep is packed with punchy & polished productions and adventurous arrangements. we have curated 3 tracks that we feel demonstrate the breadth and potential of this exciting young producer based in leeds, england. on the a bodies is an ecstatic piano-driven belter with immediate appeal. the 4/4 drums drive hard, funked up with supple bass flexations, then punctuated with classic chords and catchy vocal cut-ups. what sounds simple here is carefully considered. a brilliantly constructed, exciting and peak-time melodic banger! on the flip surround leads the listener into more tropical terrain

incredilbe package with remixes by schatrax, kink, todd sines as .xtrak, kink and the subliminal kid. the result of schatrax take is a typically beautiful and deep reworking. todds remix of dodaso is typically fucked up and funky in true .xtrak style. kinks version of the gauntlet remains quite faithful to the original whilst also instilling it with his own trippy and unique style. last year peder mannerfelt, aka the subliminal kid, sent me a track which became the only track released on off-key through a demo submission. blackwood freestyle has mutated under the hands by the subliminal kid into a rolling dub inflected groover.

meet desto. we found him wandering the streets of helsinki, eating canned tuna and drinking the water from a tin of hot dogs, desperately clutching armfuls of sticky future garage. starting off in spacey 2step rhythms, falling over bassline, and breaking down into an euphoric 8 bit cascade, the epic >disappearing reappearing ink< finally reaches wax after being in the boxes of pretty much everybody all year. on the flip, >broken memory< was given its first exclusive airing by oneman on radio 1 to much acclaim, and takes more of a straight up approach, and retains all of the fluid c64 chiptune beauty.
