a1: >i want to love you< €rix big screen mix. – only available on vinyl – well… it is moody to say the least, it could/should remind you of a detective movie or perfume advertisement: perhaps both?
a2: tyree coopers extended dub reemix ( – only available on vinyl – ) takes a spin on his chicago/berlin base, pushing the periphery theory, >who cares as long as its jackin!< which tyrees reemix is doing right down to the summer vibe piano ho-down in the middle!

second release on jamie jones & lee fosss hot creations label is the first release by hot new talent robert james. a burgeoning producer, way ahead of his game who will soon be familiar for his insanely infectious music, not least for -sleep moods- his debut ep. -sleep moods- is the type of record that you never want to end. drilling into the mind with rattling bells, rolling bass and echoed calls of go deep… all night… no sleep. this is an unstoppable dancefloor gem, catching your attention from first listen and leaving you wanting more. as -sleep moods- breaks into its groove through haunting sirens and dark rave stabs that keep the energy levels stoked up, it leaves no doubt that robert james is an original and skilled new artist. on the flip -connected- is another explosive original, crackling with kickdrums and sharpened with supernatural synth stabs. in a similar vein to the sound of jamie jones, the hot creations label creator, you can see where these two producers have found common ground. completing the package, parisien house afficionado dyed soundorom takes on a remix of title track, -sleep moods-. producing a stripped back dubby version that works at any point of the night, a skill that dyed has become renowned for. dyed has been part of the freak n chic crew for many years and has also released on crosstown digital rebels, spectral, murmur and supplement facts.

anyone who ever has listened to a live performance or a record of illeist collective knows of the difficulty to describe the sound they come up with. some say its big beat, some say its rock, electro or dance music. and as always, the truth is somewhere in between, somewhere along the lines of bands such as soulwax, digitalism or friendly fire. and the best way to find out is to listen to their energy-loaded, genre transcending and - most importantly - uncompromising music.

ltd new years deal - jin choi returns to archipel to release his second 12inch in archipels vinyl series entitled -dig your own out-. just as masterful as his first archipel 12inch, jins second coming is surrounded by an aura of warmth and is highly jazz influenced providing the birthing ground for his fervently smokey textures. lost and found initiates with warm rhythms and a gentle chord pulse which grows into a sunny melody whose beams set alight slowly drifting chains of saccharine smoke. >hurtlocker< features sultry acoustic guitar and piano melodies at its core which are woven tightly and hypnotically into an expertly stitched dance of subtle textures which wind about each other into the small hours of the morning. >dig your own out< continues on a similar path with a gentle piano melody which is rhythmically set just so in an atmosphere of early morning mist and streams of heady rhythmic waves which are constantly in subtle states of change while they bring with them in tow an ardent series of gently warped textures.

detroits eric johnston who has already brought archipel a remix of marc neyen and an ep on kalimari now brings us a superb four track 12 inch entitled >silly girl<. this whole package is a highly rhythmic affair which while darkly tinted remains very funky. >stop calling me< is the most percussion oriented of the pieces and instantly sucks you into its very well thought out labyrinth of sky high rhythms which are layered just so and double dipped in liquid funk while >labrador< strips things down a little more and wraps you in blankets of warm and rubbery groove. >worth it< carries on with the perfect shuffle and utilizes a wonderful blend of warmth and funk which take hold of your mind and feet with an unrelenting grip while it ebbs and flows, building a heated story as it progresses. >munted< could be three pieces in and of itself but blends them all expertly into one single solid storyline which takes you through mazes of juicy percussion and excellently placed, darkly hued, very deep chords.

after 4 years of putting out various hit releases via thema, the mother ship, its first sub-label or satellite has come to be. we are proud to announce spacial! it will consist of various remix projects, outtakes and b-sides from the parent and digital labels this new realm will function as a showcase for some of the more esoteric creations from our ever expanding roster of artists. so for our first slab of black magic, we have lad from switzerland which is remixed by none other then mr. quenum for a peak time killah remake. to keep it deep we have monotron, a new comer from holland dropping a sensual builder that lacks no luster to muster you on the floor. on the flip side we gave the whole side to a remix by the man from the hills, mr. ernesto ferrerya remixing beaner of bar25. this monster takes us on some ill trippy ride into his private lil world of bass and organs. we feel this grouping is a nice crop of tracks to start off a new adventure, its all part of the bigger concept of developing a sound—a movement—an idea. remember though, this is only the beginning!

green could not have found a finer match. the melodic genius of ripperton is wonderfully sculpted by the uk producer, who delivers not one, but two remixes. part 1 sees radio slave taking leonor s lanugo on a deep, hypnotic workout. its warm, all encompassing bassline works brilliantly with its tribal drum line to deliver a deadly take on the original. on part 2 radio slave takes a housier direction. rock solid beats are interwoven with the original s beautiful string melody as bird calls and wild cats prowling add to the incredible suspense to create an inspiring remix.

long awaited second release of the new star from africa. his release in the last year from innervisions and mule musiq was highly acclaimed. the new song >ambush< is culoes unique touch deep house sound with his african taste. its beautiful as music but off course it will be your great dj tool as well. culoe can do wrong at the moment!!

matt moroder - one half of the team that brought you the short-lived but no less notorious glossy series - unearthes his new ambitious -little leaf- project compiling other producers and his own reworks of songs that are not your usual disco/ boogie fare but demand a true diggers and imaginative djs mind to spot their dancefloor potential. matt moroder proves this ability right away with the blinding, hypnotizing >secret secret< - an interpretation of a cut by one the biggest, most avantgardistic 70s rock/ pop icons. he extends a short portion of the originals beat, loops the jagged guitar riff and throws in more layers of congas, shaker, handclaps etc before revealing the tracks secret by throwing in parts of the chorus sung by this totally distinctive, instantly recognizable voice. flip over for spanish producer nelues take on >porque te vas< - a one hit wonder song that had worldwide success after being the main theme in carlos saura cannes-winning movie >cria cuervos<. already an unusual mixture in its original form - breathy lolitaesque vocals gel ingeniously with a more 60s bubblegum orchestration of horns, big beats and folky guitar - nelue does a great job with sublte loops and additional bubbly synth overdubs while keeping the sing-a-long charm intact. both tracks already recieve well-desereved support from mark-e, gilb-r ( chateau flight ), beppe loda, tim sweeney and more main players. these two big cuts shouldnt need extra arguments, but since mr moroder is a generous guy he also throws in some extra special, lush artwork for this vinyl only release

nice price deal !!! with juno records hitting its tenth release we revisit yet another classic from the archives of electronic music royalty. producer, label boss, dj & remixer extraordinaire, charles webster will need no introduction to house music lovers, and its his 1998 collaboration with renowned uk vocalist shara nelson which gets a 2010 touch up. orignally out on the seminal label pagan, >sense of danger< was a real deep house anthem back in 1998, so it was imperative to leave it in good hands for remix duties. the popular peoples front, the disco house supergroup made up of anonymous musical activists are just that. ppf breath new life into >sense of danger<, with nelsons vocal being matched by an effervescent dubby groove. an alternate dangerous dub gives the track a darker but equally melodic feel with an abrasive bassline central to the groove.
