amnesia resident paco osasuna shells out another gloomy minimal, kicking double-header proving he s well versed in the art of moving butts. the aplty titled >move< pulls his pressure from the distorted whipping snare rolls that frantically step tumble all over the clicking beat. on the flip paco injects some funk with a short, dangling guitar lick stabbing into a busy beats, a growling bassline and nervously shuffling beats. dj support: dj t (get physical): >a1 is nice moody, it s in my case.<, laurent garnier: >nice funky a side. will play it out! <, tobi neumann: >fette techno nummer, sexy und hart. full support!<

well, well, well… d.classics returns again to spread the funky good news… whatever you want to call funky: sometime pure funk, sometime heavy soul, sometime discofied, sometime electro-ish, even sometime 80s… but sure its funky ! so here we are, on a journey proposed by non-else than parisian sensation dj almost. after years (and we mean yearsss) of heavy activism behind the wheels of steel, almost agreed to share with the world some of his own heaviest re-edits. a side, get straight to the core of two of his 80s fave, stripping them down to the clubiest, most mixable parts. boy! how deep are those bass & beats? perfect peak hour, decerning crowd s dancefloors! b side lurks more into the p-funk direction, with a huge classic winner, full of moog-ish bassline, female choir background voices, and deep dark male gimmicks. well, 3 more classics brought back to you by the dclassics posse

this anthem with a melancholic atmosphere we just known from guys like luciano and rebeccas words, telling some secret about post spices husband, fit perfectly into a miniaml grooving & mystic sound.. incl gui boratto rmx... already played by dj t, matthias schaffhäuser, jesse rose, laurent garnier, damian lazarus

no other than chilean sunnyboy and groove scientist luciano is taking us on the a-side on a long ride of lush but infectious minimalism. eleven minutes strong, luciano does what he does best and unfolds a continuous flow of subtle rhythmic changes, melodies and field recordings to create an overall hypnotic feel that sucks you in right from the start. think his last ep on cadenza with thomas melchior and add an eerie feel to it. on the flip side the enigmatic duo eat (both integrat parts of the diamonds and pearls family) steps up for some serious dancefloor destruction. what starts off as a pulsating acidic techno-monster that creeps up from the depths of a pile of analog synthesizers, turns into a breakbeat chopping electro-jam that will leave you behind with bleeding ears and thumping hearts, before the track jumps right back to techno peaktime.

program 1 sets precedent for bass and distortion by giving zero respect to gravity with its displaced click-clock. the plane is minimal, creeping and crawling behind disorientating moves. program 3 bumps and pans around unpadded walls, snapping and reversing itself into a twilight zone episode of darkness. closing out the session is program 2, a ten-minute throb that echoes with dulled-snares, muted hi-hats and tone pulses that allow the bass in as the melody. influences of hawtin s concept 1 and plastikman (closer-era) projects float along, but jpls (aka jeremy jacobs) draws his own perspective with subtle lines, disjointed rhythm and evolving surprises of tone

next shot from stephan bodzin with two massive and epic tracks. >pendulum< features a simple and yet sophisticated melody that winds itself into your brain like a rusty screw, modulation madness in combination with cool and laidback drums and analogue bass. >silhouette< is a anthem like tune that features steaphans trademark basslines, drums, effects and noises

ruede grants us an unusual insight into his dogs life. the tracks teem a playful lightness but remain cool, the way it is actually supposed to be.. played by sven väth, luciano, bleed...

up and coming breakbeat heroes magnet men provide a killer double a for the next vinyl touch single.both tracks are reminiscent of the oldschool, hardcore breaks scene, whilst at the same time, modern production techniques twist it up into a slice of futuristic breakbeat

repeat orchestra (aka stefan schwander aka antonelli electr., rhythm maker, one half of the duo swimmingpool as well as being behind >a rocket in dub<) returns with another 12inch in his purest form of his electronic soul, based around live-performances, orchestral instrumentations and deep house. in a post-modern manner, the >asafa chords ep< operates differently as opposed to the standard sampling clichès of standard house-tunes that we hear on each and every street corner these days. the two pieces follow a minimal yet above the norm musical approach, with tricky and advanced rhythms and a strong groove that lets the listener dive deeper into the world of a one-man-band, who likes to express his version of afro-futuristic housemusic by bringing deep chords, live-played strings and lots more of his personal flavour into his production. . the result is a warm and wonderfully musical expression on the dancefloor that will guaranteed stand out from the rest.

mobilee is on >back to back< mission and presents the first release of a four-piece vinyl remix series including eight exclusive in-house remixes. a - sebo k reworks gummihz s >isolate<. he just took the essential >rave signal<, modified the groove and added some spezial effects. the most reduced sebo k production so far. aa - prosumer gets the upper hand on sebo k, recreating the latter s >moved (featuring prosumer)< in prosumer s own image. and you thought dude was just a singer - think again. >think again< might as well be mobilee s motto, for the way the label lays bare the skeleton of rave music—and the way it amplifies berlin minimal into something throbbing, overwhelming, all-consuming. watch your back: mobilee is coming up from behind, and back to back is the rearview image of the shape of rave to come

>em.pulse< is the long-awaited new release from hanaus most innovative and respected techno producer, d. diggler aka andreas muegge !! it is a appetizing work of staggering genius which forges a very different path from his 1999 debut 12 boogiemonster and his albums >feel my heat< and >atomic dancefloor<. where >feel my heat< was an exaggerated dub influenced collage which was mainly driven by post basic channel sound, >em.pulse< is deconstructing the history of techno and reassembled it into a breathtaking tangle of modern minimal sound..

the members of my my met and became friends through common interests in music, but it wasnt until they ended up as neighbours in berlins mitte, that a lifestyle of committed partying, cake baking and long studio sessions lead to their debut release on playhouse >klatta< in early 2005. it was the result of previously downtempo producer lee jones (hefner) working and partying with local berlin djs nick höppner and carsten kleeman, who are residents respectively at panorama bar and watergate. following up their recent fantastic 12inch on circus company butterflies & zebras is beautifully tripped-out expansive ambient house, summer after-hours here we come! recorded live with nick and lee layering fx over the organic percussion as the mix develops. an acid infused bassline is slowly opened out as layers of lush strings and shimmering pads are teased into the arrangement. on moneybowl the boys show the more jacking side of my my. taught and lean with a groove that keeps on evolving, while weird and wonderful bleeps and clicks bounce around the mix. for the remix, john dahlbäck twists the pads from the original and adds his own synth stabs. then pulls out a bassline and arrangement that jumps straight onto the dancefloor

mindless boogie brings another 3 tracker edits bundle which sidesteps the obvious in favour of a more psychedelic approach. lead track >joe who< revisits >joe walsh - county fair<, but is completely re-arranged into an atmospheric instrumental. first track on the b-side is a re-edit of >faith healer< by >the sensational alex harvey band< with a lot of additional production. theres even an acid line! next on the b-side is a slow and sexy track originally by saint-tropez. why this hasnt been sampled yet and turned into a huge r&b hit, remains a mystery.

milton jackson makes jackin house music for some of the most respected labels in the business – freerange, glasgow underground, crack n’ speed, urbantorque, tronicsole and silver network to name a few. in a nutshell >tech neeks< is a very big club record with a very big old skool rave riff! as a dj if you need a track to send the dancefloor into overdrive ‘tech neeks’ is your secret weapon. the original mix has a touch of fidget house about it already winning favour with switch, jesse rose and james mowbray ..

new kanada follows up adam marshalls >black snow ep< (nk01) with a killer set of remixes from the hottest canadian talent this side of berlin. the a-side is a seriously advanced workout of minimal funk from cynosures mike shannon, who remixes >black snow< into a stripped-down house groove. on the b-side, we have jeremy p. caulfields treatment of >mission<, which continues into the dark and precise mood set up so well on his dumb-unit imprint. ending things on b2 is j. hunsbergers delicate and beautiful rework of >hot spring<. jay spices things up a little with vocal snippets and rocked-out drums, and hints at the sounds he just unleashed on steve bugs audiomatique label<

anders trentemøller, the shooting star of 2005, needs no further introduction. he has been stringing together hit after hit, most recently the -nam nam ep- on poker flat which offered an initial insight into his upcoming album -the last resort-. now the new 12- brings the first full-blown single outtake. the featured album track is -always something better – a vocal version featuring richard davis - and has a calmer, almost dreamy mood compared to the club tracks he s released. an easy-going groove, some wonderful celesta chords (hand-played by anders) and the typical trentemøller sound melt with the outstanding vocals by richard davis, who already graced swayzak s -speak easy- on k7. furthermore, davis is known for his longplayers on punkt musik and kitty-yo as well as an array of singles and remixes.a brilliant track with a beautiful atmosphere.of course the a1 slot is reserved for the -trentemøller remix-, a true dancefloor anthem. a kicking bass drum, quirky sounds and the -trentemøller twist- make this a real summer hit. while the a1 mix is a reduced vocal version, you ll find the -dub mix- on b1. to top things off, the one and only matthew herbert contributes his very own interpretation on the -bubble mix-. he disrupts and rearranges the original sounds and song structures to create a new unsettled, but fascinating soundscape

in the wake of raudive aka oliver ho (podium 1) comes amsterdam native shinedoe who with her 2004 debut >dilemma< (on 100% pure) instantly accomplished what others never achieve: respect and support by the likes of väth, hawtin and villalobos. her style: straightforward, strictly functional detroit techno - with an essential and effective touch of soul. as her debut album is expected for september 2006, we may catch a glimpse into the near future with her track >amsterdam meets berlin.< here, she does what she s best at. she uniquely creates atmosphere with just one chord, relying on the power of harmonies. but watch out. when the dreamlike vibe leads to a sudden change of keys, we re all puppets on her strings.

the track loud minority is dedicated to alex dallas loud minority residency in zurichs great club dachkantine, which closed down and was a home for great guests such as carl craig, pepe bradock, juan atkins, metro area, herbert and maurice fulton to name just a few. they all inspired us to create music which incorporates all our beloved music and combine different style elements to a fresh and maybe even a typical zurich sounding way. with dessert you can fade away and feel the ability of foster to take you into his simple but at the same time very sophisticated form of musical expression. kanona does what the title suggests. all tracks are flavoured with a great detroit feeling there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it.
