highly recommended! marieu comes back with an amazing solo e.p. on his own label enlightened wax after the worldwide success of his first work, heavily played by the most appreciated underground djs. as usual, this record has been written, mixed and produced only on dusty machines and recorded on juicy magnetic tape. the opening track, >ancient times< is a capturnig fat deep house track with a subtle female chant and space-station pads a2, >heat eninges< is build on an heavy ground shaking bass, a wagging latin piano riff. big claps, and sharp cymbals. funky and relentless, its just an essential choice for every swingin dj. on side b,>radiant< develops on a solid bass drum a filtered house groove making a breach to a charming jazzy piano and a blues voice. a complete feeding for every hungry dancefloor b2, >spectrum<begins with a dark hypnotizing groove enlightened in the middle of the track by an uplifting motorcity pad. striking and suggestive.

ales boek alias alex long delivers yet another fine ep filled with four hot peak time techno-house tunes for the cold winter days to come! he sure loves his chords and stabbs and has turned his style into his distinctive sound, that can easily cross the bridge between techno and house! but once again let the music speak for itself!

we are very happy and proud to announce yippiee?s fourth release. your dudes from hannover, filtertypen and benny ferkel just signed five great new tracks for the upcoming indoor season, but for sure they will work also just excellent for the last open air events as well. the yippiee004, as every release by yippiee, again is a hannover based production. yes, even if you didn?t know mario aureo, the only bird that has flown away and now has his nest in berlin is from hannover as well as chris lattner who was born near our wonderful homebase.with the ?all night long ep? mario tried to do a record with different tracks for every part of a long lasting night. the track ?under pressure? is a digital bonus, but the vinyl itself will show you yippiee?s and especially mario?s point of view for the night in a deep and groovy way.
played & supported by dubfire, solomun, butch, martin eyerer, re.you and many more.

after the hugely well received dessert island discs 007, we bring the second in the series. again headed up by late nite tuff guy with another pair of brilliant reworks!

this summer paul weller has a treat for his fans in the form of a brand new track - starlite. the song comes accompanied by remixes from black van, drop out orchestra and d-pulse. speaking about >starlite, weller said: >here is a brand new track called >starlite< in time for the summer. its not from the forthcoming album, its just for now! its part balearic beat, poetry and psychedelic music. i hope you like it. pwx<

after being wowed by christian smiths superb remix of carl craigs >at les< the legendary underworld listed it as one of their tunes of 2010 thereby planting a seed in the veteran producers mind. a mutual appreciation and the aforementioned events have resulted in smiths biggest remix yet – the reworking of underworlds seminal >dark & long<. coming in two versions, both of which have won immense support from the band themselves, the christian smith remixes of >dark & long< take the track in to new territories respectfully and skilfully. the tronic treatment mix preserves the vibe of the original perfectly while adding a condensed but slow burning feeling of tension which explodes into the epic break we all know and love. the hypnotica dub version underpins karl hydes classic vocal refrain and the rich synths of the original with an ever-changing, guttural monster of a bassline that adds a whole load of understated aggression without ever taking over the wonderful melodies.

from germany its a long distance to detroit, but it sounds detroit like a short way...

played by: len faki, hot chip, seth troxler, terence fixmer, zdar, technasia, deetron, dj feadz, joris voorn,... darkroom dubs re-issue two early 90s techno monsters ! we are delighted and honoured to have the opportunity to re-release two of our all time favourite records on darkroom dubs. both really shaped our love and appreciation of electronic music when we first heard them at the arches and the sub club. ..

somewhat of a metaphor for britain, welcome to goon island is born from the great british art school tradition, the core of the band having met at art college in sothend, vivid, interesting, expansive and far-reaching, an aesthetic that seeps into everything they do from their other-worldly videos via intriguing photos to extra curricular activities such as training dogs to dance. yet such apparent frippery shouldn t disguise their uncanny ability to pen rather fine songs, as welcome to goon island attests.

another month, another cool and unique r&b sound from the jukebox jam series! this time around, we feature 40s songstress with a really superb low-slung and slinky number. making its first appearance on 45rpm vinyl, >shrinking up fast< is bound to set pulses raising with its hot and seductive jazzy feel, mambo rhythm and wailing horns. yet another record which sounds not so much ahead of its time as occupying another realm altogether! the flip side >please dont stay away so long< is a worthy effort in its own right - a breezy jump blues side which also rotates around a loosely latin influenced rhythm. but as good as it is, >shrinking up fast< is the clear winner for us, an awesome, slow-burning scorcher which we are proud to be able to finally make available on dj friendly 45rpm - its going straight in out box and we would urge you to follow suit!

jess mills is on everyones lips at the moment as she sets the barrier high with her single >vulture< – which is actually out today. having worked alongside digital soundboy main-man, james breakage, providing the vocals for his track, >fighting fire<. breakage has returned the favour by producing >vultures<. theres a moody photek re-edit on the flip, if you know what rupert parkes is capable of then you wont give this one a miss. limited to 250 vinyl.

disco tweaker extraordinaire nicholas makes his debut on 4lux with another big set of tracks thats bound to fly off the shelves. the italian producer has been in prolific form last year, leading the latin edit charge with on the excellent no more hits imprint, and here we see a host of new tracks. all night long is an old school 90s piano house nugget that also gets the remix touch by 4lux head honcho gerd: early 90s house influenced vibes that result in guaranteed dancefloor mayhem. the flip contains the disco banger all i need and the slow paced house cut stay together. big tip!

leif has been good enough to grace us with a bumper four track e.p. featuring a tingling special guest vocal from welsh songstress donna lea, whose voice resonates through your chest on title track, >so long<. sticking with the land of daffodils & dragons, a chance meeting at freerotation festival spawned an instant remix request. german groovecat move d on hearing >so long< immediately saw an opportunity to put his stamp on the record. the result is a low-slung roller whose heart remains firmly rooted to the floor. joining it on the a is murmuring bass heavy >tell you something<, while on the flip, >bide the time< pays testament to the early shuffling nyc garage sound

nice price deal!

matt john has done it again! the 3rd holographic island is an excellent sequel to the hypercube ep. “baby face one” on the a side, with its tripping arrangement of voices, precise percussive drums and its rolling bassline makes you feel like swimming within an always flowing river of sound. the b side track named the “bleepfactory” has a tense and explosive atmosphere and features a shimmering cloud of microsounds floating over a warm carped of bass frequencies and drum hits
