lush 7 follow! constructed around a strutting bassline the claps, castanets, rise & cymbal lines interact to great effect. like a fine wine, k drive & ginman give the track time to breathe before slowly turning the screw. increasing the tension and expanding the room in a wash of metallic reverb! simplicity is the key as each sound cuts like a warm knife through the butter. reactions are huge on both killer tracks so have it large!

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

versatile are delighted with this new addition to their catalogue. a release made in belgium by detroit techno prodigy: fabrice lig. as you will notice on this new ep, the first white guys to have signed a record on kevin saundersons legendary label kms, remains faithful to the sound of motor city. a light and esoteric melody sets the tone of >x-slaves who changed the world<. the tight clap and kick drum leave room for the modulating bass. a voice similar to martin luther kings, repeats names of cities in which slavery prevailed, whilst pads stimulate the mental trip. the x slave is taken by the dancefloor, changing the world as he dances to the beat. “funk la termite” is elastic funk. binary rhythms, off-beat chords which keep the groove balanced whilst the hi-hats, like little insects, dig away at the beat, building it and deconstructing it as the sounds evolve. >the round of funky bugs< continues in the vein of creepy crawlies. here, the synths are more upfront, their acidic layering create a mixture of harmonic loops which will set all hells lose. the melodies and use of pads stay anchored in the detroit tradition, but this production fits just as well with all the current electro releases worthy of any good dancefloor

nice price deal !!! brand new electro-funk bomb from barcelona label funkdango. escura & grau are 2 experienced djs and producers from barcelona that have previously done some remix duties for music for freaks label. 2 smashing dancefloor killers of the likes of tim paris, tiefschwarz, ewan pearson, sweet light, jerome pacman…

two originals by formidable force and and a remix of each one by bon johnson and one by kink. can you feel it is a house pounder with quite a few unexpected quirks and vocal drops sounding like a sample from gwen mccraes funky sensation. 80s style influences have been time warped into oblivionvia a disco ball. zip jumper is a 4 on the floor masher filled with bleeps and bloops and assorted funked effects. already getting plays from hipp e, asad rizvi, sound republic and johnny fiasco

second octopus is mr statik with an excellent 3 channels remix, stathis is a greek gentleman of some refinement, his tracks caught our ear on mathias schaffhausers ware imprint as part of the mudmax duo and his talent for combining careful modern production and late night hysteria drew us to him as a future roster artist. then we come to 3 channels,what can we say,they have blown up on crosstown rebels and trapez and their own imprint channel records, their dj sets kick ass all over the place and their remixes, from claude vonstroke to decryptor have proved them as the bright stars of the european house movement. this mix is inspired,relentless, unusually energetic and yet typically 3 channels, aimed straight into the heat and haze of the night

born and raised in tokyo, living in berlin since may 2007, akiko kiyama presents on neo010 two wonderful minimal- tracks, synthetic, acrylic, rough and raw, sober and straight, shy and yet damn clubby. akiko - whose delicately reduced musical style is partly defined by some earlier 12 inch releases on m-nus creates a fragile and surprising cosmos of subtle rhythmical structures and wobbling guttural waveforms, all this combined with this very special female approach that people all around the globe seem to love more and more. for those who like it a little bit less minimal, there are two remixes included. we have one by humantronic, the minitech (or tech?) berserk from france, who re-establishes an industrially strict balance of pumping and knitting sounds, with almost trancy elements good and healthy food for the club community

splittr is the meeting of minds of martijn ten velden and mark yardley (from stanton warriors fame), two of modern dance musics biggest production heavyweights. as splittr, mark and martijn combine their collective skills and tastes to produce a dance/rock hybrid (new order infected guitar part) and a very fresh take on electronic music. in fact they started the project to give them the opportunity to split awayfrom any preconceptions people may have of them and any musical restrictions dance music genres can create. their first release, >all alone< (which sees mark take on vocal duties), has already created an underground buzz, with pete tong playing it on almost a weekly basis from the start of the year, regular spot plays on radio1 and major support coming from the likes of roger sanchez and deep dish. splittr are clearly set to take their sound worldwide

hairy claw is rapidly returning to the forefront of deep, tracky late night house music following a sabatical. this new slice of nice comes from calculus (aka gary goodwin) and is formed of two excellent tracks. walrusman is a stabbing, chicago groove with undulating bass and loose drums making it a swaggering dancefloor bomb. its counterpart, pilot treads a trippier but more direct dancefloor path with a nagging groove, fluttering keys and an incessant bassline. both tracks have seen support from ame, sasse (mood music), sebbo, solomun, justin drake (peace division), david alvarado, tania vulcano (dc10), rub & tug, trickski and many more

spacetalk recordings present their second release, a powerful 3 track ep from veteran producer matthew puffett aka future beat alliance. future beat alliances music is warm and melodic with roots firmly implanted in detroit techno soul. his debut release for spacetalk contains some of his finest work to date, with retro synths and hints of vangelis style soundscapes weaving through the multiple musical layers and dusty vocal samples. breathe in your fear is a cool acidic detroit techno groove that has met with broad appeal amongst the select djs that have had the privilege to hear this deep gem. reverse the negative conjures up late nights at the loft with its haunting violin melody and seductive female sci fi dialogue. the ep is rounded off by the majestic contact yourself which draws from balearic, cosmic and electronica to create a melodic slo mo groove for those after hours sessions

palette is proud to debut its newest artist, dave hughes. the irish born, la-resident sound engineer finally let palette in on his music making secrets. the result is daves debut ep >lets do it<. a three tracker showcasing what is to come from this visionary artist. >lets do it< kicks the ep off with a strong rhythmic solid base which alone would be enough to solidify it as a stand out track, but without delay the song quickly develops into a musical journey with rhythmic chords at the end providing the icing on the cake. the flip side provides two more tracks of the same calibre, >it all deepends< and >realization< showcase great sound design skills and a message about our own humanity. take in to account the heavy subs and intricate drum programming and you have what we feel to be a classic palette recordings single
