kraken are rolling again, with their second release in as many weeks (check out krkn009), and its good to have the denmark based dons back! very little is known about a side artist and la resident jaybird, but im sure plenty of people will be on the hunt for info after this little number drops. absolutely relentless, crushing dubstep music, a refreshingly nasty little number reminiscent in atmosphere to one of krakens earliest releases eye of the demon by wolfman (jsl), this tune is currently tearing up clubs worldwide, with support from 2000f and notably featuring on hatcha & crazy ds kiss fm radio show, you re gunna love this one! legendary kraken artist jsl pops up on the flip with a brand new beat, kept relatively under wraps this one comes out of nowhere and smacks is straight round the chops like kimbo slice! act quickly on this one, it wont last.

you may not have heard so much from andre (aka &me) so far. instead of the flash and glitter associated with most of his producer colleagues, hes preferred to stay in the shadows, co-producing and ghost writing for artists like dj hell and terranova. now after putting out his first solo single on keinemusik, which was supported by all the key players (front room label boss jesse rose, luke solomon, gabriel ananda, danny tenaglia and dubfire plus many more) &me is finally ready to go public as they say. he may have taken some time to figure out his own style of blending techno and house music but now hes out theres really no escape. with a name like an attention deficit childs mantra its a wonder he stayed in so long. the on ep is an excursion into the type of techno dusted pulsating minimal house that has been so big for artists like luciano esse and arnaud le texier and which is heard on heavy rotation in berlin meccas like bar25. with a side on ever present digital squelches (reminiscent of a rolf harrris style wobble board) are laid over shakers, stripped-back beat and the familiar on vocal. its not hard to understand why tiefschwarz have been rinsing it for quite some time now as a huge afterhours groover. b side talking days, swimming in lush deep techno elements, weaves through more melodic territory but is no less infectious

nice price deal !!! intimacy waste no time in following up paul woolfords >false prophet ep< with another missive, this time from belfast duo timmy stewart& john mciver - collectively known as jet project. responsible for a steady stream of dancefloor moments which often combine a rare appreciation for dancefloor dynamics, engaging & provocative sample sources, and a knack for arrangement that maintains the energy. its not surprising to know that andrew weatherall is a fan. label head paul woolford first met the boys in belfast in 2003 and after many repeat visits to play at their residencies, the stiff kitten and shine, (both techno institutions), their bond was sealed. the title track from this ep takes a large part of its inspiration from a charles baudelaire recital and is hard evidence that jet project truly take their lead from nobody. on the flip, we march at dawn furthers the cause - and we are then taken on a ride by the in-form sian via his heart bound for hell reworking, which rebuilds the track and surges upwards with more pressure, capping off a killer new ep for all involved..

played by karotte !! as if the year 2009 hadnt been eventful enough for berlin label highgrade and its french counterpart freak n chic , both camps have found space in the program for another very special tour de force this november. based on the similar philosophies of label founders tom clark and dan ghenacia, the two labels utilize the skills of their existing artist rosters while continuing to discover new talents, and togheter, pay tribute to almost all the artists from both labels with this fresh musical collaboration.

aduly only 36 introduces yakine on a + b with a julien chaptal remix. drop it - a jackin, upbeat house cut with lots of bounce to the ounce. solid groovy swing, thick bassline, and some bboy vox stabs for some in yo face hits. nice and tracky, take it to for a lengthy mix in or out, its a pick up. stickney - punchy and tracky with a tight roll for a smooth, jazzier drop stickney is asking for a prime time spot in the set. splashed with a little chi filter, the bassline roll brings the kicker. hot track with smoldering style. julien chaptal remix has a pop-lockin house feel to it with its sliced and diced elements, this is a tight jam. sweet build for a stack full of speakers, could be dirty or classy, either or this tracks works a sweaty floor.

aka manuel tur & langenberg (millions of moments / ovum) welcome and hello to the first release on mild pitch, the newly launched label from essen, germany. founded by manuel tur, dplay and langenberg you can expect tons of groundbreaking and earthshaking house music on this label in the future. the first release is called >this feeling<. produced by essens finest, ribn, this tune is what house music should be all about. ribn is a project of manuel tur and langenberg that sort of happened by accident. after some productive jam-sessions in their studio they discovered that both shared a passion for deep and dubby techno tracks and all of a sudden they had their first releases on styrax leaves, millions of moments and ovum. a stunning new ep on mule electronic will be released very soon. >this feeling< is a deep, chord-driven track in the tradition of global communications infamous >the way<, that with its enormous vocal loop and warm harmonies grows constantly to a catchy tune. with no doubts this track is a real peaktime smasher, which became obvious when being played for the first time at mild pitchs legendary >slow club< parties in essen. the flipside includes the brilliant >rapidsnare mix< of this feeling

rippertons perspectiv label with its 2nd split release giving new talents a stage. 1st split is a huge release with two sublime tracks by agnes and johnny white. not sure if this one tops it... but crowdpleaser and entlet deliver both two tracks that stand out of the pack!!. especially the b2 track by entlet needs some extra attention... a contemporary house track that has so much hidden power. phat old school bassline kills it everywhere.. and then the tracks continues to build and build.... like a modern dj pierre wildpitch affair! crowdpleaser delivers two solid tracks that went straight into the dj sets of many influential djs. highly effective and useful house tools (a description that actually doesnt do justice to these tracks which are much more then just tools!) ripperton proofs once again to have a great ear for new talents!!

big with: ricardo villalobos, raresh, steve bug, sascha dive, anja schneider, clive henry, lauhaus, agnes, martinez, miss jools, martinez,...
may we say that you are looking great today! please, have a promo on us, we insist... so, our latest instalment features possibly our biggest release yet. some of you may well be familiar with >sanasol - tambourine man<, seeing as its been quite a tune with some of you already this year, but for those who dont, you really are in for a house based treat. initially released in 1997, tambourine man was a sleeper hit of its day. picked up by some discerning dj types again in recent times, the track has seen heavy rotation in some major clubs already…

brand new intrusion! the first killer twelve of 2009 and the perfect way to soothe the post nye hangover. the title track >seduction< is an epic beauty as deep as the sea which does exactly as the title suggest, a sort of seduction of sound if you will, so immersive you could swim in it’s three dimensions. the bass line is so deep you can feel the vibrations in jamaica! the song soars along and in minutes reveals its magical analogue frequencies as shards of blissful chords sail around your speakers in a full spectrum panorama affair so easy to sink into. next up is “silence” leading us into ambient territory for a short but sweet three minute excursion which i could only imagine as a soundtrack while floating in deep space. the release comes to a close with cv313’s near 12 minute rendition, a beautiful dub house soundscape filled with tribal rhythms and gorgeous atmosphere recalling moments from echospace’s landmark album “the coldest season” on modern love. this is music which clearly focuses on every fine detail, filled with loads of space and bass and the analogue warmth we’ve come to love from the echospace signature. as with all things echospace this is severely limited and is pressed on to beautiful coloured vinyl.

dj circle and esteban garcia have been digging in their roots and present this hot funky piece of vocal house incl. remixes by deep josh & angel pina and tony loreto! its deep, its catchy, its fresh - its oldschool! we let the mixes speak for themselves! supported by franck roger, dj meme, grant nelson, audiowhores, plastik funk, baggi begovic…,...

nice price deal !!! after a summer of midnight studio sessions and surprise shows, da hardy boyz (aka blu jemz, unemployed lloyd, and sterryo) have finally emerged to the bright surface with their debut ep. opener here i a whispers to their formative period as a cheeky german techno - ron hardy tribute band (we re keeping the demos under wraps). dont take it too seriously... but take those arthur baker inspired beats and synths seriously. the instrumental i want you there pays homage to the cosmic disco 12inches the boyz love so much and sets up the club heater hardy time. this club mutant has been getting the hardest love at shows with its hard drums, new wave basslines and echoed lyrics. for the cherry on top, dfas runaway deliver one of their finest remixes, completely deconstructing here i am into a minimal disco hit.

bodo elsel has only done a handful of records and the two that i have known and loved since 1998 were put out on playhouse, the excellent housey sister-label of mighty klang elektronik. one track in particular, discount baby, has always stood out in my mind as a high water mark in the sacred art of groove (you may have heard of it). punchy accents and resonant bass layered with trippy vocal loops, its dubby acid house of the highest order, made by a mysterious german lego-master, who the a&r team of mike mind and thomas st shindig managed to coax back into activity.
it only took bodo a year to answer mr. minds email, but he eventually delivered three amazing tracks... >haustier< revitalizes piano house. >mai< is incredible, and >mein haus< is one of the top few all-time expressions of the greatness/meaning of germany, putting it in the fine company of the autobahn, sven väth and christmas-market schwein. nice wibes!!
the icing on the cake was that bodo made it very clear he wanted no part in royalties or any of that business crap... he just wanted 42 copies of the record. yes. 42.
we were so inspired by all of this that we decided to put this record out in a different way for us that just feels right this time.... if you want to find out just how good the >mein haus ep< is, you will have no choice but to buy a copy of the 12 inch because this one is a vinyl exclusive!

love from montreal,
thomas von party

roughly translated, hasta el fin means >the very last number of the night<, appropriate when you consider this is gigolos final release of 2009. the a&r process at gigolo is a constant and very simple formula! if hell likes it, plays it and gets a good reaction from the crowd then it needs to come out on his record label! no other record fits the criteria more the >hasta el fin<. this is a record that featured heavily in hells festivals and club sets and was played at the end of every after-hour he found himself. but its beginning is a little less finite.
the genesis came late last year when oliver ton invited various musicians for a jamming session. in the spirit of some masterful moments in music oliver ton and production partner ronald christoph captured something unique sounding with a dance record built largely around a vocal, guitar and piano performance. it was immediately signed to berlin based white records and assigned the fitting cat. no. of white999!!!
hell, an early supporter of both the record and label was smitten, personally requesting the license for gigolo. once this was granted he approached tony lionni for a remix. for many djs, including hell, tony lionnis >found a place< is without doubt one of the biggest records of 2009. so combining the talents of these two artists would appear to be a no brainer, and the results speak volumes. taking the vocal hook, layering it over a tough piano stab and italo style disco rhythm is the order of the day. as we approach the end of another decade for gigolo and the first of new millennium we are proud to present our last number of the 2009!

traum / apparillo / deep focus artist !! kranglan ep is the 1st record to be released on harald björks (traum/deep focus) own record label kranglan broadcast.the record holds 3 productions of pure naïve emotions, kranglan, cykeltur and skvaltan that together summarise memories of childhood surroundings and its environmental changes. the record takes place in the outskirt soundscapes of record labels such as border community, kompakt and cocoon. early support by: laurent garnier, josh wink and petter nordkvist

this time the frankfurt based duo chris hope & andre walter (stigmata, perc trax) sended us 3 wicked tracks and we are proud to present them on our fresh driving forces recordings imprint. the >vibra slap< ep is exactly what a state of the art techno release needs to be. dark and atmospheric, low in the speed but straight kickin and full of wicked sounds and effects. on the a side you can find the name giving title track called vibra slap which is a pumping and crazy clubtool. the very long breakdown and its noisy leadsound will let every crowd go totally crazy. with septum and otum 288 side b delivers you 2 very dark and andre walter typical tracks for the peaktime of special and raw techno happenings. these tracks seem to come out straight from hell!

2nd single from the patrick cowley & jorge socarras album >catholic<. bleeding edge remixing by oni ayhun and noble editing by morgan geist added for your pleasure. while still everybody keeps guessing whos behind the mysterious and burning hot works of oni ayhun, macros got the mans first ever remix! o.a. obscured cowleys >memory fails me< with his trademark darkness and took it to the edge of engineering. and its got all that feeling, too! if you asked yourself what a forward-thinking patrick cowley might have done today - here is a serious offering. >burn brighter flame< is the disco heart of the album. with all disco crate digging of the decade, >bbf< is the ultimate find. since the original artists had intended this one to be a single theres also a stunning instrumental! we just remember how everybody got tears of joy when finn johannsen mixed the different versions of this for the first time at berlins picknick. who could have been asked for an edit of this gem other than metro areas morgan geist? creating a dialogue between the vocal and instrumental versions, his edit offers even more variety for the dj to mix in and out of this great tune.

brother sport, released on november 9th, is the third single taken from animal collectives universally acclaimed album, merriweather post pavilion. euphoric, mesmeric and delirious are words that have often been used to describe animal collectives astonishing ninth offering? and brother sport is the track that fits that description the best. with its infectious repetition of open up your, open up your throat, its the most spine tingling album closer of the year, from one of the greatest albums of 2009. brother sport, will be available on 10inch (rug333t) and will be backed with a live version of a brand new track bleeding (live) recorded recently at big sur in california.

this new collaboration between two of cadenzas finest talents makes its official debut on mobilee with black shoes, a cut that pops, crackles, and snaps like youd never believe. dance floor ready yet unwilling to sacrifice an explicit focus on the details, black shoes pulsates with bass while suggesting a kind of lightness as whispered and fragmented voices hiss and murmur in the background. the melodics, which give off the feel of being in constant flux, provide a nice contrast to the intensely regularized bass drum while simultaneously meshing with the popping percussion that guide the track along its course. breakdowns filled with the sounds of static and 8-bit provide a nice experimental touch to this track that works equally well as a late-night romp as it does on the headphones. b-side speech also gives off a stuttered feel but is even more blippy and fragmented than its counterpart while migrating towards a more jacking vibe. brito and toro compliment this fractured sound with extensive use of vocal samples—both spoken and sung—that, while incomprehensible, lock in seamlessly with the overall feel of the track. melody here references both vintage sounds and traditional minimalism with the end result being a fusion of the two that is truly extraordinary.

dan curtin, now releasing records for 11 years, returns back to classic form with a 4 track ep of smooth, deep, calculated beats. dan takes us through a time warp with elements of jazz, funk, and r&b, with his own inimitable touch that puts his music in a unique category all its own. autonomic groove reminds of the better purveyors of fine funk material, while other songs such as bygone epigone and chained present new takes on dans familiar jazzy sound. another cool down low item!! tip!

hamburg‘s very own stimming arrives on the hospitable shores of a freshly cut audiomatique with the wonderful ‚buxton pipes‘ ep. with releases on diynamic, freerange, terminal m and liebe*detail martin stimming‘s carreer was boosted by the underground hit „una pena“ last year and peaked in his debut album ‚refl ections‘ earlier this year. ‚buxton pipes‘, the lead track on the new ep, is a beautifully reduced, gentle roller that combines textural, shifting fi ltered percussion, phasing, effected melodies and a rich sub-room sound design that confi rms stimming‘s talents at working those subliminal zones. dainty, pretty and yet totally punchy at the right volumes, its a genuine slice of ultra modern micro-post-minimal- house. continuing the trippy, time-melting vibe perfectly, ‚kakusei‘ arrives with its pushing array of softened percussion and carefully extended spooky breakdowns. sliding and squelching through 7 minutes of prime tracky workout territory its another stellar addition to the record. finally the skipping ‚seepferdchen‘ throws a spanner in the otherwise smooth grooves with delicately jacked drum patterns and controlled sub-bassline throwdowns. super funky, ultimately reduced and sample-heavy it‘ll make those afterhours carry-ons all the more delicious. simply superb work from stimming on audiomatique. tracklisting: a: boxton pipes b1: kakusei b2: seepferdchen

finally a full ep by d marc cantu (1/2 of 2am/fm and under other aliases involved in collabos with traxx). technically its the follow up to his cult hit no control (creme jak 02, today a highly sought after 12inch) and in good h-h-h-house fashion this ep contains a ball busting jtc remix of this anthem. but the centre piece must be the title track one of the most emo-simplo jak trax weve ever heard here at the office. starting out simple enough with a single finger synth line (like the musings of a retarded secretary), it mutates into a big wailing distorted saxophone (or a mating whale, who knows?), this puppy will fill your room and throw everybody into an instant k-hole. hey, if that dont sound appealing check the soundclips for proof, its pure liberation... nay rebirth! more floor destroying crazyness on the flipside, but were all out of steam describing it. jak jak jak

incl. manuel tur remix. the second chapter in mild pitch history reveals the cryptically twinkling gem that is langenberg s times , a dark yet sensitive house affair which easily bridges the gap from a rougher 1990s new jersey kind of feel to the modern takes on house music of today. filtered stab fragments and deep chordal layers gently slide into each other like watercolour and the shifting frequencies of a sizzling vinyl record contribute to langenberg s most thrilling work to date. on the flip, manuel tur gears up for an atmospheric remix expansion reminiscent of his critically acclaimed 0201 album debut on freerange earlier this year. countless harmonic layers twine around a filtered disco sample, without ever revealing its full sound spectrum while the raw tripping beat keeps stomping relentlessly…

after a split 12’’ and two eps from its founders, your favourite vinyl-only label welcomes an exciting new artist for its fourth release. hailing from berlin, hunee is a true music lover, a passionate dj and an amazing producer (not to mention a top notch friend). his recent productions on feel music, w.t. records and drumpoet community have caught the ear of many key players and made him one to watch in 2010. needless to say, hunee takes it to a whole other level with his barrio payment trilogy: from soulful house to slow-mo disco via afrobeat, the producer holds nothing back and that’s exactly how we like it at retreat hq. starting off with swinging hi-hats and a wah-wah loop, foundation builds excitement before a killer organ riff and bouncy bassline manage to bring the last non-dancers on the floor. ..

surprise and super-limited new release from kieran hebden, following up the blink-and-you-will-miss-it collaboration with burial on another mysteriously undorned and brilliant 12 inch for his own text imprint. on >love cry< b/w >our bells<, he succinctly shows both sides of his oeuvre, the lush love of the dancefloor, and a chance to exercise his more esoteric inclinations. the live-sounding drums, gorgeously nuanced textures and blissful samples of >love cry< couldnt really come from anyone else, especially when enveloped well into the track and the vocal loops begin to peel off into a deep house-meets-krautrock coda executed with that signature sleight of hand. if you are only going to put out two 12 inches in a year, youd expect the attention to detail to be high, and here its absolutely exquisite. with >our bells< on the flip he crafts a sublime beatless, gamelan influenced piece, like the kosmiche resonance of the flip is allowed to seep through and glimmer all over the grooves, radiating incandescent ambient harmonics with a lustrous psychedelic blur. seriously righteous wares, for the lovers…(be quick!)

its really difficult to find something truly original nowadays. something different, something personal. juju & jordash are this and much more. for the second downbeat, they give us two times 10 minutes gems. psychodelic, dubby and slow beats with a bit of raw and acid elements in a continuous evolution. pure juju & jordash sound… 100% downbeat style… music with soul in a corporeal container….. this label is dedicated to yagoba. aupa!

who are these guys behind the pseudonyms? good guy mikesh and filburt are two music lovers… full stop! two independent acts that met in leipzig and began to merge their musical creative capacities two years ago. a convolution of disco, pop and house, propagating one of leipzigs most promising collaborative developments. good guy mikesh has haunted leipzigs contemporary underground for a long time. from the beginning of his musical career, his singles have signified an eclectic mix of pop, soul and disco. filburt - dj, record store owner and leipzig club scene veteran, was consequently good guy mikeshs best possible accomplice in the mission to break fresh ground. this mixture of soul, disco and house-pop is it, charged by the duos certain something - an energy sought for not only in this town, but throughout the whole scene. someone told me, their latest single, has been causing an outbreak of contagious enthusiasm in the scene since its release on permanent vacation this summer. we are proud to release this fine ep, which comes with a remix by one of our uk favorites: mark e !

vinyl only !! its mysterious, its white, its sounds very good, its the insider tip… last copies left….

after martin landskys last bomb on poker flat, man high, he comes back faithfully with we are streaking, a tasty two-tracker rich in classic landsky synth-work, deep moody melodies and forward pushing energies throughout. title track we are streaking sends a warm pulsing sonic charge right to the core. rushing, phasing and casually dramatic, an insistent synth theme revolves at the heart of this timeless slice of driving electronic house. characterised by landskys experienced produciton hands at the controls, its a slow tweaking, extended cut that will take you back whilst keeping your body very much in the here and now. the sharp post-electro swagger of personal decay punches in time to the heartbeat of a generation. taking inspiration from those adrenal, early days of rave, landsky combines modern, fi nely tuned electronics with raw, dubbed and funked passages of killer proportions. once again a perfect driver, in classic style martin shows off all angles of his love for the beat.

our jazzy multi instrumentalist, dewalta a.k.a. david koch, returns to vakant with another popping fresh release, as earnestly house as house can get. since his first vakant release in 2008 (va021 salgaro/farina) davids music has taken him around the world in black largely covering our earths northern and southern hemispheres. side a is graced by move yo sitting as close to late 1990s baby ford as one can get without a time machine and personal guide to londons underground. david somehow owns this genre while still making it distinctly his. b1 night shade keeps the housey goose bumps going with a drier and more direct approach. cheeky bleeps and chunky bass balance dark spacey vocals to land the track somewhere between night and day. >angels trumpet< at the b2 position closes this stellar ep out with a track that again borrows from the genre, but continues way beyond its standards with melodic elements that push and pull you in multiple directions resulting in no less than dance floor catharsis.

lets have fun! - thats the mantra of big zis and the crew of nation music. the swiss black music label has been broadening its musical spectrum over the past years. just like the artist big zis, whose music could most likely be labeled electro pop alternative punk rap, they dont care about common conventions.while rap becomes more and more pimped out, house loopier and minimal narrow-minded, big zis hooks up with a top-class troupe to get it her own way.for her most recent album und jetz … (and now …) she worked with marton di katz and valentino tomasi (both members of kalabreses famous rumpelorchester), who laid the musical foundations for most of the songs. for the impulsive electro on the track suure räge (acid rain) however, big zis collaborated with the techno producer michal ho (tuningspork) at the studio. suure räge got remixed by several well-known producers: robag wruhme (freude am tanzen) and canson (gs zürich) are to be found on volume 1 and the soul brothers lexx (aka kawabata / drumpoet) and kalabrese (stattmusik) successfully combat boredom on volume 2. the sound scapes of the remixes couldnt be any more diverse and cover a broad variety of styles. and be sure: volume 3 - work in progress - will delight you as well!

>burnout< is hardtechno at its best: pumping, energetic and with a killer break. hard-acid fans will love >lsd< at the b-side, stomping hardtechno with rough 303 basslines. again stunning artwork by ed repka. >burnout< is already supported by pet duo, rush and frank kvitta.

the >sex, drugs and sausage rolls< series continues! after the lp its now time for the ep with the same name but all new tracks!

1994, the internet is in its infancy, the channel tunnel opens, and ibiza is rocking to the sound of a little unknown track by the name of waterfall. roll forward to today and paul thomas & myke smith bring atlantic oceans ibiza classic bang up to date. while keeping the instantly recognisable arpeggio, chords, they give it some heavy drums, side chained bass and nu skool production to bring it screaming into 2009.

the simply massive duck sauce gets a full release via data 1 sided but its all about this mix. disco house is back with a bang
