fifth release on the acclaimed imprint from those lovely people over at the acclaimed sleazybeats blog. the dust just doesnt seem to settle at team sleazy who are set to unleash their fifth dish of mid-tempo filth. sbr005 should likely round out what has undoubtedly been more than a successful year for the sleazy beats crew. as hard as it might seem to upstage their recent sampler, this release by berliner daniel solar (of no more hits and dikso fame) is another trio of totally on point sleazy business which showcases daniels stellar skills. things start off with midfidelity funk, a snappy romp through steady synth and disco string territory. this little number delivers a perfectly spell-binding groove with nicely placed rhodes stabs, crisp tambourines and haunting vocal at the breaks. on the flip, twinkle love snaps out a sweet melange of piano, guitar/bass riff and morphing vocals that combine to give a lively mood and open atmospherics. finally, rounding up the ep is la fleur, a wonky yet punchy cut thats ripe with staunch drum sounds and strings amidst loopy vocal snippets for good measure. all three tracks ride a 110ish bpm groove that is likely to ring bells for those who have been following and digging the sleazy sound so far. the last few releases all sold out in a matter of weeks, so dont sleep on this. you know the drill by now: limited release, no repress.

edit-select reach their 10th release, and to celebrate they have chosen possibly the biggest track from the previous 9 releases. gary becks consumed. this monster of a track (which featured on richie hawtins sounds from can elles dj magazine mix), has been remixed by mark broom, and dutch techno legend speedy j. brooms bang bang mix is typical of his dark techno sound which of course fits perfectly on edit select, and speedy j cranks the intensity up a notch, with his repetitive groove that just sounds immense on a big system (when of course played on vinyl). there you have it. the labels biggest release to date, and by far the most limited

emerging from afternoon studio sessions, the final scores, too many beers and then nights in an upstairs room at their local boozer, discomendments aka lee fisher (of mother >all funked up< fame) and paul kaminski have developed into a fine production unit who are into anything and everything. having started out cutting and pasting edits for their own dj use, they are now focusing on original productions that fuse different styles and genres from past to present. sleeping giant, their debut release on maxi discs, borrows unashamedly from the early network house sound, but fuses it perfectly with contemporary slo-mo house, disco and balearic vibes. whether on the beach or in the basement, the discomendments sound is equally at home! on the flip side, maxi label boss, pete herbert, turns up the heat and reworks the original into a dancefloor bomb. while disco deviant dicky trisco keeps his eye firmly on the mirror ball with a lo-slung ny influenced workout. listening to the sounds of maxi discs is guaranteed to release the pressure

numbers follow up the instant sell out that was redinhos bare blips with this red hot collaboration between two of the most exciting producers around just now - roska and untold. collaborations of this sort have a tendency to be a little bit underwhelming but on myth and long range the two producers have dug deep to come up with a perfect marriage of each others styles. this is house music as it should be - fresh, exciting, raw and banging. untolds grimey sub fit perfectly with roskas syncopated drums and the wailing horns on myth are gonna be stuck in your brain for days. one of the most exciting records around at the moment, dont sleep on it.

>tuff enuff?< sounds just the way an affirmative answer to the titular question should: lean and muscular, with sinewy bass flexing its way straight through. its a song full of robust underpinnings and carefully placed counterbalances: synths that lustrously shimmer and slowly dissipate, keys that sparkle faintly at the quietest moments. the first single on from the cradle to the rave, the debut album from shit robot – aka marcus lambkin, aka >the godfather of dfa< – is a perfectly executed composition in >homage to chicago house, kraftwerk and gay electronic disco.< the b-side features a wild geese remix of >i found love<, another stellar track from lambkins debut. in the capable hands of djs dan foat and frank tope, the laidback original

a1. >everybody techno< - this is typical of gideons dance floor techno style, thick beats with a marching bass-line. from the first beat we are guided through a tough no-holds-barred trip into an unforgiving world of the darker sides of techno music. a retrospective vocal with a sinister laugh completes this evil peak-time track.
a2. >flight to right now< - this minimal track snaps along with a very basic beat and synth combo. the synth rises as the track progresses to keep dance floors moving. there is a wonderfully simple aspect to this track that gets under the skin and allows people to really connect with it.
b1. >recession tool< (vocal mix) - recession tool is a chunky tech house track with a wonderfully chewed up vocal and ever-present reverse snares. the track pumps forward until a nice rising breakdown lifts to complete with more vocals and intricate drum loops.
b2. >rico< - rico is a long progressive track with a slow builds and a warped lead line. the least aggressive track on the ep and possibly the least expressive. that said, it still ticks along seamlessly with a perfectly crafted warble and smart drums.

tolga fidan presents >rezil<, the latest one in the vakant limited series! whoever said >we need more cowbell<, will be more than happy to dig this tune. a little unusual in arrangement and sound for mr. fidan, rezil goes perfectly with the valt format.

tremsch & metlzer aka martin maier & daniel fuchs have created their own style of music which is based on new school techno house.&#8232,,it is hard to find out which kind of music exactly has influenced these artists but similar to piemont they are merely occupied by their own world of music in their heads.&#8232,,,,,we are sure they have never heard of such warp legends as >sweet exorcist still their 3 tracks carry that northern industrial flavour and combine it with funk.&#8232,,>20 toes< as well as >head games< perfectly transport this spirit, whereas -development- feels housier with samples of child vocals and cut up reverse sounds that create an semi-acoustic feeling.&#8232,,support comes through a remix by mbf core member piemont who have remixed >head games< and have created through that a fabulous rough and crazy chicago track, that holds all the experience piemont have gained through playing live.

right in time for summer oslo presents us two promising talents from romania named noidoi. they fit perfectly into the exceptional talent round of oslo and let us hope on a hot summer. aprilli 9 on the a side is a classic piece with wonderful house chords, which kept the audience by his extraordinary sound. noidoi opens up on the b side with aprilli 6, a title with no less high quality. the sound is definite more electronic pronounced than on the a side. trebor, impulsive and at the same time groovie is ideally suited for the somewhat late hour and rounds the ep off with his deepen mood.

kathy diamond is possibly one of dance musics greatest singer, songwriters. on love saves the day she demonstrates why she is considered such a talent. every great original, already release on separate vinyl disc (needw004), should have an equally good remix and with this new package that rule is no exception. mario basanovÆs vocal remake is a perfectly timed disco shaker, that combines funky guitar licks with an eighties inspired synthy bassline all to a summery and uplifting backdrop. kathys vocal is cut up to perfection with eventually mario letting the chorus shine. on the dub he takes things direct to the dancefloor with squelchy bassline and punchy kick drum with a piano break that will have hands pointing upwards. soulclap need little introduction being one of the hottest production / dj at this moment in time. from the wolf & lamb camp, they have impressed with their repertoire of musical abilities.
