sometimes, its still worth not to waste your youth with nonsense but to learn to play an instrument. like in the case of sebastian mullaert, who has learned to play violin, organ and piano, while his partner marcus henriksson rather came from kraftwerk and human league to electronic music. as son kite, the two swedes have already a well-known name in the psy-trance scene, and as minilogue, they now start to conquer the minimal and house world. with their rather unique sound, they manage the tightrope walk between minimal and trance and never allow us to put them into a drawer. especially with their debut on cocoon rec, minilogue present themselves in a different way, compared to their releases on traum or wagon repair. >jamaica< is a calm track at the first hearing and is perfect for building up a set. beginning with bird-like sounds, the track builds up slowly and quickly becomes very interesting and tricky, ramifies as organic as a climbing plant, and when the tribal sound emerges from the underground, this track has exactly what makes minilogue so special: organic matter and groovy sounds, worked into a minimal labyrinth with very much love for the details. all of that can also be found on the b side which seems to be more adequate for the morning hours, with its somehow spacey sound. with >jamaica<, mullaert and henriksson prove that they are floating on the very surface of the endless minimal ocean. and with their album >animals< being already in sight on cocoon recordings, one can be highly anxious of what is coming ahead, by minilogue and techno made in sweden

the latest release on two faces shows a slightly different side of the label and introduces the new artist björn leineweber. björn combines modern electronic clubmusic with rock and punk influences and his special german vocals to a very own style. the original mix of >dieser ton< shows his full talent for writing exceptional lyrics, beautiful harmonies and creating unique sound designs. a track with a lot of feelings. on a2 we find position:greenfield - an artist out of the label environment. he developed a remix with classic techno elements and unexpected variances. a track for the early morning hours to deeply touch the crowd. on the flip the label boss himself makes a very compact groovy floorburner. perhaps one of the hits in 2008 ... no more words needed

support comes from will saul, solomun, markus echnoson, leigh morgan, karotte, jimpster and mike gillespie !! after the big success of our last releases by alex santons, motorcitysoul and jimpster stir15 continues its journey into the deeper spheres of german housemusic. caller & ridge (aka dadableep) are following our ways and supporting us from the very beginning. the two released great music on labels like rz, traum, lofi stereo (just to name a few) so far. their latest work is an unbelievable statement of what german deephousemusic sounds like in the years 2007/2008. classic elements of the 4/4 universe, warm stabs and chords combined with deep hypnotic basslines to please the crowd and the djs at the same time.

joel mull, another representative of the swedish techno community, releases his current vision of what is to happen on the dancefloors. it is different from what his fans know from the early days. with his debut single on cocoon >harmonautic string<, joel mull sends us to a journey through the track which is smoothly airy-fairy and thus perfect to dive into the land of dreams after a wild party night. even when speeding up after a short break with the drums dominating – the track remains harmonic and is designed to dance into the sun in the early morning hours. the b-side appears spacy and melancholic, but again, mull is able to layer his music so deep and brillant that the basic mood is still vicious with the track still coming along in a magical and elegant way. >blossom< is exactly the right thing for a cold winter night and reminds of the b-side of beyers cocoon release

you may already know barem (aka mauricio barembuem) from his releases on (un)foundsound, pariter and phonocult or from his remixes on resopal, mos ferry and einmaleins. if so you, wont be surprised in the slightest to find him surfacing on minus with never better than late to round off what has been another groundbreaking year for this ubiquitous label. the electro flavoured broken beats of so serial (digital only) make it the perfect tool for opening a set or for shifting the mood. the melancholy tones, the massive snare reverbs and the low, stuttering acid bassline gradually turn up the pressure before eventually triggering the 4/4 section, establishing the perfect platform to propel the eve! ning onto the next level. the fantastically titled ears conclu! des the release,offering more subsonic trickery in a similar vein. the percussive licks shift up and down amid a wash of reverbs and delays, while the bubbling bassline motors forward, keeping the scuttling efx in check

two electro flavoured house bombs for the modern clubber. prophetization is more suitable for night time or right before the sun rises. electro rhythms, cosmic synth notes accompanied by a fat bass. lost in space, its dark, the bright strings call from afar and bring hope. the light shines at the end of the tunnel. pazuzu on side b is a mixture of bleeps and atmospheric pads sustained by a housey beat, chugging along to a dubby sub bass. perfect for those early mornings lost on the dancefloor in a state of trance.

tom de neef is back to rock the dance floors again. with the new track called >dragonfly< and with the marvellous jacquita on vocals, tom makes sure that no matter what, people will shake it till the early morning. with several monikers like plastika, tdn, behemouth and bazement freakz (with eddie amador), tom de neef is no newcomer to the dance scene. his previous creations have been played by roger sanchez, pete tong, laurent garnier, jack de marseille and many others. the track- listing is completed with a baggi begovic vocal remix and a mix done by rocco mundo & onno. >dragonfly< will have everybody get up on their feet to heat up dance floors from antwerp to new york

what can we say? vocals by duane harden, backing vocals by darryl d bonneau and the production skills of marquito. all of those things combined in 1 song... see for yourself! for the deeper and bumpin touch of the track just get on the panevino mixes.

released in 2005 on chris fortiers fade records imprint. includes 2 breaks mixes by royal sapien, a more funked up marky star remix and a deep grooving midtempo 3rd morning dub.

merry, amusing nonsense - some of the attributes used to describe the last kritik records. these terms are unlikely to be appropriate here: the young sebastian simmert from the outskirts of berlin has submitted his first own production. noticable are the influences of techno producers from recent years and the work of this 22 year old demonstrates he knows the whos who. is this an up and comer? the first track is in the tradition of pumping bodzin/romboy works, the second references 2step, including the bad little ravemonster. finally, a hymne for the early morning hours, for the more contemplative dancefloor - enjoy while sipping bionade. beyond minimalism

with >manipulation< johnny d creates an atmosphere of a special kind. a slowly growing track that grooves endlessly from beginning to end. >gualia< is much straighter, a pushing tune with marching percussion und a rocking bassline. >since the last time< remixed by nekes follows the path of those morning hours filled with happiness, which completes the second olso release. deep, jazzy house tasting like summer.

franco is a well known producer and groove seeker. after many releases on prestigious labels like butanes alphahouse or kenneth james gibsons label adjunct, the south boy comes like milk in your morning coffee at hometown base. wonderful track on a-side, almost 13 minutes long journey into modern techno, full of swing and surprises. detailed production, this tune hides at least 3 other tracks all in one… franco in full effect! a deeper tune on b-side, classical club hammering drums, tiny bass impulses to enjoy the subs fan out there. breaks that drives all hands up the air

keith worthy returns with the second release on the detroit based aesthetic audio label. she loves me not is a deeper than deep, with sweet percussion accompanying the smooth beats while the spaced out keys create a laidbadk vibe perfect for afterhours/early morning play. the alternate mental deepstrumental adds a slight techy edge to the track. beat the beat up is a typical detroit ish tech house track with moody keys over a techified beat

l delay is all about the drama—but at the same time, its skipping hi-hats and ringing bells suggest a carefree spirit and a supreme lightness of touch. talk about a duality: a cloak of reverb sucks the track perennially towards the dark side, but from the gleeful syncopations to the cheekily sampled live instruments, everything else opens up to the light like a morning yoga position. there s no funny business here, just tight rhythms and emphatic phrases that command bodies to move. its a monster of a track, but it must be of the loch ness variety, because youll never see it coming. on the flip, >frost< —haunted by the same high, lonesome string note as >l delay<— might be even more energetic, if that s possible. the high end has been smoothed down, and some of the roughhewn chicago edge of its companion tune sanded smooth, but its crazily syncopated standup bass line and distant, answering keyboards is all muscle, tensed and ready to explode. spacious drum tracks clear the floor for flashes of tambourine and handclaps so dry you can taste the salt on em. again, no nonsense is the name of the game: just raw, unadulterated funk with an ear for playful rhythms and limber moves

beach is the perfect early morning track with dreamlike sounds. an amazing deep techhouse piece for a dancefloor and living room alike. underwater is a shuffle tech track and its sounds go deep underwater where the sun cant be seen anymore.this groovy one is sure to shake many dancefloors in the middle of the night. on the flip fusiphorm strip things down to basics in best minimal tradition
