andrés first release for simple records >wanna feel< is all about the resonant, hypnotic bassline that steadily opens out to reveal more layers of harmony. little sounds and licks of melody dance around the bass whilst strings and stabs build the hook into one big crescendo. brooks melancholic strings, cleverly cut up the bassline and an eerie soundscape pushes the vibe of the original into a darker more sinister techno place….this is the lights out, heads down, touch me in the dark kind of groove that we love! finally >move< is an absorbing and patient deep house gem. plunging into a backdrop of prodded keys that subtly shift in shape and tone, a central synth melody climbs to euphoric climax before retiring back to waves of throbbing bass and rolling percussive loops

krischmann & klingenberg have already become remarkable in several times. in cause of their individual sound. with releases on skull tunes, compressed or on frank kvittas label unknown power, they have pointed what they are able to do. whether on the home dance floors or in the century circus. the boys have simply found the right mixture of straight- and a little funky inclined techno. flotek & mario kinle come directly from vienna to your home. their tracks circulate in many different forums and bump almost only into positive resonance. it is the time to get both on vinyl. sound, uncompromisingly up to the last blow.

the term >ballad< is written similarly in many languages of the western hemisphere. it is a antique word. you can find its etymological origin in the latin verb >ballare< - which means >to dance< - and the greek verb >ballein< - wich means >to move<. a ballad is always a story told through music. in recent times the term >ballad< is often associated with greasy / absurd pop music. what a shame! ballad inc. releases tracks that earn the label >ballad<. on our first release >exile< you can listen to the epic story >high hopes of salvation< by quietpoint and to two short stories by xdb. >anilem< and >jupit< got everything a ballad needs. of course you can dance to it. of course you can move your body. but this should not be the main issue! there is so much more in modern instrumental music. who needs words to tell a story?

now up to its third release, soul science recordings continues to deliver high quality, soulful, deep electronic dance music with joel harrisons latest: high voltage. commencing with the original mix, this track does exactly what it says on the tin delivering electrifying, pumping,deep, nu school house. taking sparse electro bleeps as an introduction, the environment starts out building steadily with increasing urgency. utilising sweet and cleverly processed vocal samples as motifs, the track develops into a full on dancefloor mover, complete with thumping kicks, fat chord stabs (for fans of the original detroit masters) and a bouncing off kilter bassline - something of a harrison specialism... wearing his influences proudly on his sleeve, joel has created another sublime electronic deep house track for fans of spirit catcher, john tejada, freerange records and beyond...

first single to be lifted from the forthcoming lp is a flawless representation of some of the freakishly danceable tracks contained therein. a wholly original mashup of electronics, my heart rate rapid is sheer falsetto laden, drum battering brilliance. although metronomys elliptical, insidious, multi coloured art pop sounds nothing like colognes legendary purveyors of prog disco, can do offer clues to the lineage the band belong to. add early brian eno, sparks, devo, talking heads, soft cell, and then scratch your head for more recent examples of abstract music, full of experiment, risk, and individuality that somehow resolves itself into pop that makes you sing and dance and feel like a big kid and you realise that you cant think of any, because metronomy are, in the current pop milieu, an utterly unique proposition.

the sheer depth in production of the original coupled with the quality of the reinterpretations can be seriously time consuming! the original midali blends ethnic vocal chants and charles websters silky sound to create a sublime dance floor atmosphere. brooks adds trademark futurism and takes daddys vocals into orbit. charles dub is multiple layered soft softly house cut for down moments and is followed up by vincenzos marginally more energized version. enjoy.

inner thoughts is a rolling acid track with off beat snares and broken hi hats while space disco is a deep detroit esque, mid tempo slice of electronic gem. sonja moonear (karat, katapult) has added her own dimension into the release, having reworked space disco into an obscurely deep, heavily bassed broken piece of dance floor wonder. also on remix duties, lasimo (senator/germany) has taken the original from down town detroit to a parisian night club, dropping the main acid line out but manoeuvring the percussive groove and gentle pads to an altogether new kind of experience.

uks ben wijay starts canute music, a sub-label of phreakin recordings displaying his more adventurous techno and tougher house music concoctions. bringing a slightly harder feel than the phreakin output, but remaining left of centre with quirky melodies groovy percussion. >poisoned potato< starts in dark techno waters with a deep acid bass line, then blossoms into almost border community territory with anthemic distorted chords and quirky breakdowns.>feke< delves deeper with an arrangement that goes from hauntingly minimal into an aggressive staccato riff, then morphing back into itself with deeper melodies. definitely aimed at the 3am dance-floor and will appeal to lovers of the detroit techno sound through to the more obscure villalobos territory. gathering big support from the likes of charles webster, john aquaviva, aldrin and mixmags >house single of the month< (feb 08)

this is a couple of nice remixes of the cool smoke & mirrors track of marc almond and starcluster (taken from the aube 03). marc almond needs no introduction... after working with many great producers he teamed up with roland faber (s express and many other projects) and kai ludeling (divider) for some nu school high energy disco. this is a track that brings up the best memories of the pet shop boys, new order and ofcourse soft cell. this is one big anthem for the gay clubs, nu disco aficionados and brittish soccer hooligans who want to rave on some extremely well produced big sounding dance music! highly limited vinyl edition!!

love inc minor is a limited edition label - they are planning 10 releases, all limited to 500 copies. and when 10 eleases are done ... that s it! starting in 2007 polly ester (voc, bass) and yossarian (drums,voc) created a new sound by not surrounding themselves with tons of equipment but being a real jack-in-the-box band, surprising and hysterical. drink! yell! dance! file under: neo cosmic disco no-new-nouveau wavefunk

streetwise was one of the seminal dance labels of the eighties, responsible, with its subsidiary imprint partytime, for several important and influential examples of the dance genre. several of its releases were indicative of the directions that both dance and r&b would take over the next few years. the signing of vocal group new edition and their resulting hit candy girl is generally acknowledged as the beginning of the boy band phenomenon, and the labels last hit, music is the answer, was also a key element in the rise of house music. the label lasted for only a few years before falling victim to its own success and the related success of its owners, especially revered producer and remixer, arthur baker. here is a selection of streetwises greatest 12inch mixes, gathered from the archives during streetwise reign over the dance market presented on this vinyl.

as one of the most influential house labels of the 80s sleeping bag has stood the test of time with its releases. 25 years on and the tracks still provide the dance world with a regular source of sample material. here on this double lp compilation are some of sleeping bags most seminal records released during a ten year period, which brought to attention the sublime production talents of the labels cofounder arthur russell and a&r skills of curtis mantronik. the collection contains the track dinosaur l produced by russell, remixed and subsequently made famous by francois kevorkian. the sleeping bag family also extended to legendary producer and dj todd terry, who re mixed several of sleeping bags tracks. also featuring on this release is joyce sims with two tracks taken from her hit album come into my life. after the death of russell in 1992 the label limped on for awhile but finally shut its doors the same year.

>across the city< is the main track - a dance-floor smasher that contains all the elements required from an excellent pablo bolivar production. its a minimal-tech groover, full of floating elements, with pablo again discovering his more dubby side. featuring remixes by westpark unit and blunt. westpark unit (aka frank herbrechter & ingo sänger) delivers a warm & deep vibe mix to rock the party, while tony blunts trademark is his floating mix of dub and deep detroit influences.

huge richie hawtin support !! oliver dodd (acacja/xylophone jones) first appeared on addon06 and returns with a timely ep of analog rhythms and head tripping movements. hailing from nashville dodd creates a sound all his own between the influences of detroit techno and euro minimal shifts. stark, deep and pulsing best describe this 4 track ep. elevators and escalators is the title cut which will flip you up and down. a sure cut that is already in the hands of hawtin, drives with 808 beats, falling synths and rising plucks. an epic dj tool if there ever was. let it ride and play tricks. the rest of the ep is rounded out with dance floor cuts for mind and body. enjoy

hercules and love affair is andrew butler with antony, nomi, and kim ann. butler emerged from making music for college based dance projects into a fully fledged recording artist, via the new york art scene. he hooked up with his friends from there and got them to collaborate and sing his songs and hercules and love affair is the result. antony rose to prominence when he won 2005s nationwide mercury music prize and this is a major step into a new area... a disco influenced mix of glamour and melancholy, happiness and clubbing that has sprung out of the mutual worlds of andrew and antony, kim ann and nomi. hercules and love affair is 2008s most exciting dancefloor concoction, an arthouse vision of pure pop by way of futuristic electronica, 4ad records and classic 70s new york disco, where beautiful, bruising harmonies and tensile rhythms collide in resurgent soundscapes and emotive disco workouts. the album is co produced by andrew butler with tim goldsworthy of dfa.

originally from columbus, ohio and now residing in new york city, myungho choi issues four new tracks on a touch of class. on these four dizzying tracks, choi again powers his stampeding funk grooves, ecstatic voices, and somersaulting rhodes melodies with classic soul bass lines. his stoked mix of soul, jazz, and house proves exhilarating in the steaming strutter lovin you today and high velocity disco anthem shakin bricks. less aerodynamic and earthier by comparison, the low slung party funk groove in how long till dawn would sound perfectly at home in a parliament funkadelic set, especially when voices chant shake and havin fun and horns blaze over a steaming stomp. the closer we aint leaving revisits the benson funk style of moment by moment by looping a guitar vocal fragment over a relentless minimal disco pulse. this ep. is without a doubt a true disco house infection and a definite one for the dance floor, which is not to be missed.

remember tullum combines slick guitar licks, rolling breakbeats and a warming bassline. flipping over and the equally as classy water goes for a stepping drum beat with light percussive touches and an effortless vocal that slides in and out of the mix while the bass notes soothe your soul as you dance your ass off. classic ac business.
