longtime fan of the 80s , digikid84 draws his inspiration from both the classics of this period in music (run dmc, michael jackson, midnight star, eurhythmics) and from cartoon classic trailers such as (thundercats, silverhawks, galaxyrangers,). this funkadelik touch has earned him an unwavering support from artists such as benjamin diamond, cassius, grand master flash, dj mehdi or vicarious bliss.

the second of the abstractor series has arrived! a powerfull neverending monster that will grind hips everywhere!

the a side has a subtle tripping techno/house cut, the flip more spaced out & heavy beat tracks. check!

fukkk offf is back with a scorching second single from his debut album love me, hate me, kiss me, kill me. more than friends has been the dominating track from the album with its male/female hip hop duet about a sneaky encounter at the club and has been begging for an equally dominating remix package.

its been almost a year since the release of efdemins fantastic two-tracker >america/the pulse<. >america<, that was also used on his curle mix-cd >carry on...<, became quite a big tune and even ended up on the number one spot in groove magazines chart. therefor efdemin preferred that no-one touched that track anymore, and we decided to give >the pulse< a remix treatment. john beltran is a highly respected artist that has been around since the early nineties - r&s! peacefrog! styrax! - and when we heard the ultra-funky mega-bomb he made from >the pulse<, we knew we made the right decision to ask him. another one of our long time favourites from accross the ocean is convextion aka e.r.p. he did some ground-breaking stuff on matrix, down low and frantic flowers. we asked him to do a remix of crcs amazing take on detroit techno, >vaskitsaherra<, originally on curle 009. the result ended up being nothing else than a timeless piece of art.

cool elegancy and machines meet live elements, soul and warm loops. subtle deep piecees of house music! hard to believe what jena has to offer: after splashy shooting stars like the wighnomys and their freude am tanzen family, a new act from this small metropolis for artists is coming up on vinyl now. while the team around klinke auf cinch is releasing its upbeat on playtracks the debut track shows the variety and creativity being in the deeply touching musicians heads. invited to the vocal corner was among others the soul voice of ian simmonds, who has already scratched his monument into black gold on musik krause. klinke auf cinch perform in stereopanorama with tenderly sent melody pearls and create marble paths with groove fragments. a live playing trumpeter, the voices of ian simmonds and paula as well as the gifted rhythm and harmony section around clemens kynast and lutz hartmann are the counterconcept to brute force. jack to cinch makes live electronica a valuable and touching concert event, the musicians virtuosity meets the cool elegance of the machines. loop means soul, beat means heart beat.

a very special vinyl only release!!! for obvious reasons this is a black label style vinyl only release here on mountain people. 009.1 has been around for a while and has been supported by the drumpoet community guys, above all by lexx/kawabata, who has pushed to make this a proper release. the mixdown pressed here is actually a very early raw recording which he kept (we didnt). so thanks lexx, we owe you one.

nice price deal !!! a hugely influential figure in the french techno scene for the last 15 years, lady b (aka bruno gauthier) brings his acid house flavors to curfew. a child of detroit techno and chicago house bruno has released on some of the most significant record labels in electronic music history including luke solomons and derrick carters re-launched classic recordings, f communications, dj gigolo, boys noise, citizen records, and the hackers good life label.
le fil du razoir (the razors edge in english) brings a classic techno vibe up to date via a dose of wobbly acid house. the result is a no-nonsense, high impact fusion of spitting beats, evil sub-bass and sharp jacking strings. big…
fresh from a chart-topping ep for sci+tec, reset robot brings his sound-of-now to curfew. pacing out the track to allow a swaying funk to percolate the off-kilter drone of the original the result is an edgy, melodic tech house groove.
kapat sees lady b combine bubbling 80s synth pop melodies with heavy rolling bass and drawn out dramatic strings to create a full-force floor grabbing blend of old and new. timeless, energetic, emotive underground music.

nice price deal !!! alessio mereu, a classical piano player since he was just an eight years old kid, moved to electronic music in the last few years with his trade mark hypnotic and full of groove defined style. even though he is a very young artist, he is a talented and appreciated producer who broke the scene just at 18. recorded for eminor records, orion & paco osunas mind shake label.
this, his 1st release for pick pocket, will feature some of his best work, francas heart has all the marks of being a hit, groove is so spot on & melodies coming in & out through out the track. this has all the right elements in the right places. a classic 10 / 10
dancing in the dark - this track simply moves you in so many ways, excellent percussive programing & synth lines that wave in & out of this simply. very nice piece of work. a new talented artist to watch out for in 2008.
padded cell - pick pocket comes with yet another deep cut, this time more minimaldub than techno, with some deep basic channel frequencies that will make you connect with your deeper side. it s all about the rhythm & the sound ...

do you know gummihz? the gummihz that hails from greece but was raised on a steady diet of chicago and new york house? the gummihz that sings? the gummihz that incorporates disco, electro, jazz, and chanson into his productions? well if you don t, now you will. the >sleepless nights< double 12 inch is gummihz first release on mobilee since >under the sun< and is a radical departure from anything we ve ever heard from gummihz ù or even mobilee ù before. gummihz multidimensional production abilities allow him to dig deep into his roots and influences on the one hand while simultaneously exploring new, uncharted territory on the other. alternatingly retro and futuristic, this two-part ep series is a portrait of gummihz as an artist from a variety of angles, one we ve only seen fragments of up until now. one might view this ep as an attempt on gummihz behalf to explore his musical roots in a contemporary context, with the end result being a strikingly varied yet cohesive statement of gummihz musical and artistic leanings. on the one hand, gummihz delves into his past, with tracks such as >sunshine dub< and >bang< fusing the samples, cut-offs, and filtered loops of french house with an almost balearic, hypnotic twist. on the flip-side, we also get a snapshot of gummihz at his most somber ù>love call<, featuring vocals from gummihz himself, has a jackin house beat but bears no resemblance to the cheery sounds of chicago house on which our grecian friend was raised. instead, he favors a cloudy, almost cold-blooded vibe, with chilling lyrics manipulated to the point of near-indecipherability (bringing to mind the brilliant vocal work of the knife and fever ray) with a final product that is nonetheless aptly suited for the dance floor.

following the great international success of glitterbugs album >supershelter<, everyone has been curious to hear what this unique and unmatched producer will bring us next. and truth is, there is a lot! glitterbug has been working on piles of new enchanting materials, tracks, projects and remixes.
as a first release in a series that will lead to his next (double cd) album, is the >dim flares ep<: a dream-like, intense and deep moody ep that carries that very special glitterbug sound to a whole new level, touching on deep emotional techno with a utopian 4/4 perspective.
this beautiful ep opens with >so much more>, an epic track that releases its melancholic-euphoric mood slowly over the course of 9 minutes, turning itself into a beautiful, hopeful, hand-raising screamer that floods the dance floor with overwhelming warmth and heartfelt love. side a ends with >deadpan<, an intense dark ambient miniature that lets us peak at glitterbugs world of score-like ambient compositions.
the b-side begins with >daubed beams<, a deephouse track all glitterbug. >daubed beams< feels like what mid 90s detroit techno released on warp would have sounded like: unbelievably deep, pensive, warm, divine and pumping.
c.sides latest emotive ep culminates with >be content<, a warm track with a deep drive of warped pads, a dark bass-line, airy percussion and unforgettable arpeggios. this exhilarating dance track is layered with bottomless emotions, the kind you want to close your eyes to, hug the person dancing next to you and wish it would never ever end.
the >dim flares ep< is the first in a series of 3 magnificently moving eps (by glitterbug, christian löffler, and a collaboration between glitterbug & ostgut ton s murat tepeli) to be released on the c.sides label in 2009-2010, all leading up to glitterbugs extraordinary next double album which is currently in the making and will be released in spring 2010.

a mysterious figure in music tevo howard is surely a very talented producer coming from chicago. his brand new track >crazy love< is already big for djs like tiga, tensnake, manuel tur and deetron!

straight off the heels of his highly successful bird brain album teaser tracks, aundy and beat that bird comes the definitive claude vonstroke record everyone has been waiting for. the a side is classic genius cvs at work. he constructs a mad vocal pattern up and down through 4 octaves and all the vowel sounds of the live human voice. then he creates a chord out of the notes all coming together for en even bigger surprise in the 2nd half. this track is quite simply unique. there is nothing else like it. the b-side resembles the freaky side of cvs harking back to the tech funk sound of tracks like chimps. this time claude makes an ultra-wide filter sweep sound like a pair of humongous tits bouncing up and down on a trampoline. the boob jokes are there but the track is so filthy dirty its hard to even find time to chuckle.

jagg has been and in demand among 12inch soul/funk record collectors for some time. killer boogie 12inch finally reissued...nice!!

zoot woman present their third album. things are what they used to be has by no means strayed from the dark and atmospheric, hooky and melodic road, but what we now hear is a strikingly upfront, passionate, and mature development.the euphoric title track emphasises the want to return to how things once were in another state of mind, time and place. while this album takes you on a journey, sometimes introspective and often drenched in desire, each track is unique. from the pulsing hook line of we wont break, feeding an addiction to emotional melody in lonely by your side and more than ever, then to be shaken up by the pounding stadium electro of witness.

this is the first release of aoki takamasa on raster-noton.
aoki was born 1976 in osaka and is presently resident in berlin, germany. he has been releasing music since 2001 and ever since has been reviewing his personal methodology whilst actively creating sounds based mainly on computer/software. aoki is an energetic artist vigorously expanding the limits of original musical expression. he enthusiastically pursues an expansive variety of techniques of expression via a broad array of software and hardware. the rhythm and groove created by driving the cpu to the max may seem extreme. however, the respect and the inquiring mind to the root existence of the art expression of music keeps flowing incessantly.

history has spawned hundreds of genius double acts – where two minds and talents collide to form something innovative and artistically challenging. unfortunately, spirit catcher are just a pair of european weirdos. jean vanesse and thomas sohet have collaborated under their spirit catcher guise on such notable labels as 20:20 vision, silver network, missive, winding road, and nrk. their electronic disco tech dancefloor bombs get play from an immensely wide range of djs looking to help their crowds freak the funk. we are proud to have this highlyinfluential duo on our 15 year anniversary compilation. beezy operator is pure spirit catcher, and this time they bring an infectious soulful vocal to really spice things up,

after having it large with sweetzerlands mental groove, st. plomb has remained apparently calm for the past few years. but dont be mislead, st. plomb better known to friends and family as daddy wizard hasnt spent these years sunbathing and splashing in tanning lotion. instead hes been hiding in the studio, working on his tricks, refining his magic, distilling the purests and the rawests forms of house to achieve the alchemy of the perfect track the concoction has worked and brut! is proud to present the results: escape run and saturnic night access. serve pipping hot...

polytone remains in deep territories and has signed two of the most exciting tracks of drei farben house (brut!) so far. on final call the berlin resident succeeds in building a bridge between minimal aesthetics and the musicality of deep house which has rarely been heard in this form. in this 8-minute track a whole series of musical themes are flashing yet held together by a lot of instinctive feeling. on looking back to control drei farben house is just as deep and melodically interesting and again relies on unusual track structures. in his remix matthias vogt from motorcitysoul works out the chords and melody themes of the original even more and turns final call into an exciting, swelling affair whereas newcomer baldo (dubhe) transforms the original track into a brilliant and wonderfully classic piece of dubtechno.

3 tracks of sparse, loopey deephouse and 1 jazzy, melancholic vocal cut that has a similar vibe to nick holder productions. cool!
pressing on multicolor marbled vinyl.

spectrum recordings returns after the summer months with a fantastic deep dark two tracker to take us into those shorter nights of the year from italian duo ascion & davide carbone. the a side >shaved< is a stripped down dubby groover, with eerie vocal stabs and spacey edits. this has a seriously tripped out vibe, which is perfect for the after hours, but still with more then enough punch to work at peak time, with some layered percussion or effects. the flip side >spectral town< is a minimal funky track, superbly produced and once again perfect for the after hours. a very cool and classy record from a label stamping its mark on the scene, and still only in its first year of releasing music. look out for future releases from ramon tapia, gui boratto and alan fitzpatrick. big things to come!

heavy play from dj sneak, danny tenaglia, dubfire, danilo vigorito! the third 12 release on exprezoo is by another of our flagship artists, the same santorini everyone has already begun to appreciate thanks to his recent releases on bond, recycle and loudbit, whose style is perfectly in key with our idea of deep house:

jesper dahlback is one of swedens leading djs/ producers with a lengthy back catalogue to his name, including co-production on two tiga albums, the hugg and pepp project with cousin john dahlback, and remixes for the likes of rex the dog, zoo brazil, arnaud rebotini of black strobe, thomas p heckman, robyn, the knife, and depeche mode. jesper has music in his genes, but it was the musical movements in detroit, berlin and london that inspired him to start producing techno, back in 1991 in his bedroom studio. completely hooked, by 1993 he d formed the stockholm-based globe studios together with peter benisch and adam beyer (following a chance meeting on the train to love parade?) and has worked there ever since. in 1996 jesper started the imprint, blank, mainly for his own material, and simultaneously launched joint venture dk with thomas krome - one of the first labels in sweden with a techno house crossover approach! in addition to making music for various techno labels around the world and working with planet rhythm, jesper met up with swiss-born stephan grieder who had just started the svek label. the duo started to experiment with different sounds, drawing on house musics roots, utilising vocals and acoustic instruments. jesper now describes his sound as >ranging between the analogue sounds of the roland sh101 and the precision mathematics of my computer. i m a researcher and developer of unheard sounds! since the founding of globe studios, i have always been looking for new ways to bend the rules and test the unknown. when i dj, i just play my own productions blending old classics with new unreleased demos.< a producer first and foremost, jespers dj dates find him weaving a soundscape of his productions, remixes and collaborations with new material at every gig, as well as musical elements and sounds worked through the set. one of his favourite current ventures is his part in jori hulkkonens acid symphony orchestra.

released in 1980 this italo gem has more recently become a huge collectors item worldwide due to its incredibly hard to find status (ú100 ebay / discogs). this album was the prototype for the whole italo sound, with the majority of it written in 1979, but was only a minor hit in its time and not much is now known about the band. the album spawned two singles gipsy and back to heaven but is full of off kilter disco classics such as mister luck and down to the disco. dusted down and remastered this album has really stood the test of time and given a fresh lease of life its bound to find a whole host of new fans worldwide.

the third release on phonica records is a no-nonsense dancefloor burner from matt tolfrey and d. ramirez, with a stunning remix from lauhaus. >bounce to me< is an exquisitely stripped-back jack track, propelled along by clipped vocal samples, deep chord stabs and funked-up percussion - as the title suggests, its all about the bounce. thats really all you need to know: this piece of music has been built for the sole purpose of dancefloor devastation and will do the job every time. matt tolfrey is the boss of leftroom recordings and one of the uks most compelling young dj/producers, with releases on crosstown rebels and viva music among others. d. ramirez is of course the sheffield-based producer behind numerous hit tracks for labels like four:twenty and his own slave recordings. the flipside remix comes from underground hero lauhaus, a dutch producer whos made quite a name for himself with his muscular productions for labels like remote area and intacto. here he toughens and tightens tolfrey and ramirezs original >bounce to me< into a rolling techno groove, adding real drama and forward thrust with crisp hi-hats and stacatto percussion. the soundtrack to late summer has arrived. bounce!

phil kieran has been in the upper echelons of the electronic music game for more than a decade, but is only now releasing his debut album under his own name. known for rocking clubs and releasing a string of killer twelves, belfast-based phil has hooked up with german powerhouse cocoon in recent times. sven väths label is now about to release shh, a groundbreaking piece of work that will undoubtedly gain phil plaudits across the board. shh seems to not only reference every sound phil has ever loved in music, but is formulated in a completely fresh and futuristic way. listen carefully and you can detect elements of dub reggae, old hardcore like lfo, hip-hop, early 90s electronica such as autechre/black dog and other warp staples, as well as the futuristic techno that phil excels in. for the album phil went back to old sound lab recordings dating back to the 1950s and 60s. utilising some of these sounds in the initial construction, he built up tracks using a combination of old samples sourced from original and weird places and some live new instrumentation as well. there are live drums, some electric / acoustic/ bass guitar and live keyboard playing as well as some choice guest vocalists.

this 4 tracker comes deep and dirty. tube amplified driven grooves with colorful shining percussions - the unstoppable affectiv exciting melodies on top - plus the ever appearing bonus loops makes this again a very exceptional and personal sounding something twelve inch. the included dancefloor madness will shake your heads once you are down with it. house music that will move you, but also amaze your senses in relaxed listening situations. play that tracks in moody places and this record brings you into other orbits. finally this again has that typical stl vibes inside, for what he is notorious for, meanwhile. buy something - your turntable will be grateful!

alex ridha aka boys noize is, along peers erol alkan and justice, part of a new mongrel breed of techno / electronica artist with a maverick bent and solid vision, beaming a myriad of influences from the past through a prism to create something fresh, new and exciting. founding his own imprint boysnoize records (bnr) in 2005 he achieved to establish his very own sound. alex released the first boys noize album “oi oi oi” in 2007 on bnr which featured febrile club favourites like “& down and “lava lava” and also more soulful techno tracks like “shine shine” or what many regard as one of his finest works, his remix of feist’s “my moon, my man”. official remixes for the likes of depeche mode, snoop dogg, justice, late of the pier, his latest work for royksopp, highly regarded dj mix compilations (bugged out! / i love techno) as well as productions for black eyed peas and canadian genius gonzales proved how versatile he could be. now boys noize presents his second longplayer as a lim.ed on vinyl instead of following the commercial path after the unexpected success of “oi oi oi”, boys noize passed on any big name featuring, the great pop approach or feeding trends. keeping it real, “power” starts where “oi oi oi” has ended and shows the freshest of electronica and techno music.

after fergies massive >eye of storm / maktub< release, next up on his forward thinking excentric muzik label is the first offering from a new collaboration between two men of the moment, christian smith & reset robot, entitled >elixir<.
>elixir< is a driving monster with one of the catchiest and most addictive hooks of the year, instantly recognisable and is sure to be the highlight of many sets as it has been for fergie over the summer. on remix duties is mr henry von, who runs excentric sub-label rekluse with fergie. his >tribal rage< remix utilises the original hook, adds an interesting array of percussion, then takes the listener on a mind-melting journey full of twists and turns. gary beck (still on a roll after his massive >consumed< on minus) also takes hold of the remix reigns and delivers a deep and hypnotic workout that has already been included on christian smiths forthcoming renaissance compilation he liked it so much.

for the second release on ki records we invited a very special and talented artist from japan to join our label. daisuke tanabe, who studied art in tokyo and london, has been producing music for the last 13 years. various releases on zero dbs fluid ounce label and an impressive amount of remixes for gilles peterson’s brownswood imprint have proven daisuke tanabes versatility and talent for modern experimental electronic music. as a live act and dj, he performed with gilles peterson, onra, tim exile, hudson mohawke and clark. we decided to dare a leap into a more experimental way by publishing his outstanding flowers on a wall. the four-track ep will be released in august 2009 (500 copies ww on limited vinyl), simultaneously to his first album on japans circulation records.

throughout the past years, antonio has been steadily collaborating with luca bacchetti on all his past productions and remixes. anyone who has even the slightest interest in minimal / techno will know the famous tracks resulting from this collaboration: rolling brooklyn -trust - what ever or remixes as stop (bini martini) - crazy madness (poul ritch), its your time (planet funk). at the end of summer 2008, antonio decided to change and put out solo projects, using his experience and his technical skills as great support for this.

you can see it on the news: techno is back, but for those who never left, techno is not a word that comes and goes, techno are forward thinking sounds that you cannot do in one minute with some libraries and cheap software.this brand new release from our factory shows exactly how techno should be done properly, in the interpretation of kike pravda, eric krakeroy and label owner oscar mulero as a remixer.main track, >fear is the enemy< has a direct approach, clean and driving drum programming grows and grows helped by shuffled 909 hats, leaving room for a razor sharp synth line that opens and closes filter in the most dynamic way you can imagine. just a few elements put together wise. oscar reinvents the original in a very similar way, but slowing the vibe a bit, adding more percussive details and elonging the structure, again the sound is clear , punchy and hard, as you like it.closing release, >jaque a la reina< its a 21st century acid track, modern, sharp in sound and agressive in low end, concrete claps, metal hatz and driving synths makes this one the perfect compliment for this stunning release.

after a couple of artist eps, white is back with a new release of their well-known faces series . this time with an unknown face so far: tristen tristen has been an integral part of the white crew ever since. it was just a matter of time, until he was ready to release some tunes. everybody new, if that guy ever finishes a track, it ll be a bomb. and so it came. a track which announces a state of emergency on the floor. with deep chords and strings, which scream so high right at ya, that you can t resist dancing. on the flipside edward puts out a melancholic ravemonster. but still in edward style! minimal and housy, with a slightly touch of a jazzy trance. but always with an eye for the deep. a track like a dream-like scuba dive... once again edward proofs, that he is one of the most outstanding young producers in the game, right now.
