san soda only needed one very limited ep and one >full< release to get attention from all over the place. deep house music that is both rooted in the past and firmly aimed towards the future. for this fourth release on we play house recordings san gives us three more killer tracks from his vaults. the a-side brings us >doorsnee<, a track that already had people requesting a release when it was but in its infant days on his myspace. describing it is quite the task, because it kinda leaves the 4/4 path and still stays on it, it kinda floats but it still gets you screaming on the dance floor.

if there s one lesson we have learned from 2008, it s that techno is not nearly creepy enough. on creep ep, germany s kevin over injects pitch-black dread into the heart of his distinct brand of techno. steamrolling bass-lines, droplets of toxic rain, and ghostly sirens all coalesce into swinging, propulsive grooves that stretch into a never-ending night. mr. over demonstrates his knack for creating arrangements that are both melodious and spacious, crafting an almost seven minutes ride through some of the most banging and infectious techno tracks to date, not to mention some dubby business on surge that would leave lee perry envious. at its most compelling, creep ep paints a picture of a raging warehouse party at the edge of your wildest dreams. including killer remixes by pascal vert and john lagora

after the inclusion of crushed by actress on the most recent prime numbers ep, we return with three tracks from one of our favourite contemporary producers. ghosts have a heaven is a heavily stripped down, minimally constructed piece built on a heavyweight kick drum whilst given movement and accentuated by filtered synth washes and sub bass which change subtly throughout the track. side 2 is taken by two tracks from the actress debut full length release on his own werk discs. hazyville is a twisted piece of electro funk expertly compressed and crackling with static energy. superb locking & popping lace the track sounding something like the avant gardism of subway theme from the wild style o.s.t pushed confidently into 2009. ext up redit 124 provides a deep clipped jackin groove with a glitchy feel. the beats are worked & moulded along with fizzing synths and jerky keys to produce a quality hybrid of sounds with its own idiosyncratic style firmly in place.

>not my cat< is a brooding fusion of bubbling acid, deep bass tones and low-down jacking rhythms that treads a line between early doors groover and late night mood setter. >demons among us< is exactly the sort of cinematic-style club production that will resonate with fans of charlies work. forging together multi-textured layers of precision crafted sonics, the overall vibe is one of minimized, robotic-funk that provides the foundations for a killer shimmering melody to do its joyous damage.

rmxy by robert dietz & arnaud le texier !! born in france, it is in ibiza/spain that luc ringeisen founded the records store vinyl club in 2003, wich has been an important element in the spread of underground electronic music in ibiza (and therefor in europe...). the record label vinyl club recordings created in 2005 went immediatly succesfull and helped to discover some of the best underground music producers of the moment such as petre inspirescu, jonas kopp, and some of the best djsproducers of the world famous clud dc-10/ibiza (circoloco). luc ringeisen is nowadays resident dj at underground-club / ibiza and the vinyl club recordings events take place all over europe, having its main residencies in berlin (where the label headquarter is since 2007) and in ibiza. for his debut on safari he delivers 2 tracks absolutely pure quality.

first release for this new italian label, who claim to bring techno back to its top level. we re inclined to agree with those sentiments, as are the others who have received promos of the release. the a side consists of two deep and dark techno tracks, that should also find favour with more minimal djs. they are apparently by a popular northern european artist, going under the guise of ????. the label has kept such a secret that we dont even know who it is. on the b side, we have a soz adams (esperanza, archipel, gumption) remix of label head obtane and fris, which is a retro chicago style excursion, and german duo sebastian herre and obscure close the ep with a more detroit techno inspired track.

dj meme is back solidifying his status as one of the most talented and sought after producers in the game. garnering incredible pre release demand among clubbers, movers, shakers and djs at the forefront of the house music scene, this exciting new interpretation of the rufus & chaka khan classic is a lush slice of summer replete with uplifting vocals, free flowing flutes, soulful strings and sexy latin percussion –, an infectious groove destined to become a fixture on soulful dancefloors worldwide and a classic in its own right.

stricly limited pressing. 300 cool transparant blue vinyl! big with laurent garnier and ame. spring is defenitely in the air !..)the limited series reaches its fith installment with æthinking about you. and darko esser is going very deep on this one. the title track was originally due for release on the poussez music imprint from dj yellow, before the label got discontinued. the track is dedicated to the important women in darkos life and was originally picked up by laurent garnier and ame amongst others. now finally it gets released on sparkling blue transparant vinyl! the vocal hook and bassline grab instant attention building gradually up and down throughout the track accompanied by a constant unresistable groove. ænostalgie on the flip follows the same musical guidelines, but with classically arranged strings and vibraphone melodies on top of the ongoing rhythmic excersize. the atmosphere is optimistic, spring is in the air!

behind this german-sounding pseudonym hides a lyrical, subtle and ambitious techno. mondkopf reveals on this ep his most federative facet with a tracklist in which immediacy never sacrifices imagination. this combination of a techno basis, trancy hooks and electronica sound processing make these nuits sauvages (wild nights) ambivalent, conquering and melancholy. la dame en bleu, his major piece, is already an underground hymn. les oiseaux de balthazar, mixes vocal pads, bells and birdcalls in a fantasy techno universe on a dynamic tempo. the result, once again, sounds absolutely unique. nuit sauvage softens the layers to emphasis on crunchy riffs and strong kicks, to finally come back to an epic dimension, always around in mondkopfs songs. remix side, matzak got hold of the very mental christmas, keeping its electro spirit.

after a handful of successful singles zwicker released on the renownend labels bearfunk, compost black label and get physical it was time to refine the warm mixture of mutated disco, house, electro and pop on a full length album. on this songs of lucid dreamers ep1 you find four tracks (extended versions) from his upcoming album songs of lucid dreamers, which will be released end of april on compost records.this is sublime electronic pop at its best!

this time again bosconi likes to show you its eclectic taste in dance music delivering for its fourth release, a proper techno ep made by one of the most talented techno british duos: 100hz

throughout the entire record is a pleasurable, weighted atmosphere that has a peculiar glow all its own which feels like it could bead up into a phosphorescing condensation, dripping down dark concrete walls.

deep underground chicago staple of music played by the chosen few to the ones who truly know how deep it is. now its time for the masses to feel the real deepness of the true chicago 80s era of music. only ten percent of what happened here in the 80s, is known to the rest of the world. dont you want to be a member?

strong remixes by copyright, claude monnet and torre bros (please check this mix... its massive techhouse!!!)

enigmatic producer kaºpar delivers 6 tracks which vary from punchy electronics to breezy house. first track, in the club comes in a wicked gerd remix and moves forward with a driving, deep bassline aided and abetted by punchy drums, fluttering rhodes and kaspar & his friends tripping, stoned & abstract vocals. its an 6 minute opus which navigates a shifting array of predominantly instrumental passages, featuring some fine solos and never tiring before its sudden end. house of cards and calvary centre themselves much more on kaºpars versatile ability to create pumping house that leans to the new york sound and float between house, jazz and soul. the whole affair plots a course through a constellation of styles suitable for both home listening as well as dj-play. this is house, not the lazy off the peg kind, but music which lives up to its name

immigrant’s 40th ep comes with love from bright young uk based wunderkind subb-an, returning with a release full of attitude and mischief. its deep, techy and, following more deep and tribal directions on recent releases, returns with some of the vicious vigour of 2008s italia ep

giorgio s mixture of house, disco and techno sees its result in these 3 tracks which are fuelled with a lot of euphoria and don t hesitate to make brave/courageous changes when crossing over from one genre to the other

minus has released a first rate selection of home grown artist albums over the past 18 months, with heartthrob, false and gaiser all creating long players of real substance and this trend is set to continue in 2009 with arguably the label’s most significant release of recent times. louderbach’s long awaited second album autumn represents another jump in the evolutionary cycle of minimal techno, having developed from the largely instrumental project that gave us enemy love into a fully-fledged song based outfit. as a result, autumn has a much deeper feel than its predecessor and indeed breaks new ground, with the dark metaphors of gibby miller’s often chilling vocal performances fitting hand-in-glove with the ominous landscapes and broken architecture that troy pierce constructs so effectively. drawing on shared influences such as bauhaus, coil and joy division, the duo have conceived an album of emotional depth and exquisite detail, appropriating the best elements of these early-eighties pioneers and reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens to achieve a perfect balance of style and content. it’s the result of an unspoken understanding that spans thousands of miles from their respective homes in l.a. and berlin and this distant intimacy is a naturally occurring theme throughout the album, manifesting itself as dark, twilight tales of melancholy romance, burning obsession and the slow, disintegration of desire

the international freakshow theatre is opening its doors for 2009s spring season. coming along with the sunny weather we bring you another minimal house weapon that is deep, dark and dangerous! the 3 producers who are responsible for chainletters ep belong to the next generation of the clubmusic business. these young guns are mirco violi, fabio gianelli & sercan. during the last year they already were able to proof that the sound they are creating is definitely more than capable of competing within the international clubmusic scene. with releases on imprints like underground limited, off or welt sounds they gained tons of positive feedback. the well balanced and textured grooves these guys deliver are all carefully crafted while the subliminal vocal samples and stunnin effects keep the perception fully occupied as well as offering various mixing opportunities in the process. on the flipside of international freakshow no.12 youll find another phat, tribalsih minimal housetune done by them called mugatu says as well as some more hypnotic house remix of get around by berlin based till von sein who also created some really successful tracks in the past on labels like dirt crew records, morris audio or trenton, that gained full support of various top names

after a recent guest performance on seuil’s eklo label, michael melchner - the young producer and dj from nuremberg - is back with another stunning ep for cargo edition. melchner is the resident-dj of the ‘kiss klub“ party series at nuremberg’s famous club ‘die rakete’, and music aficionados will have had their eye on this up-and-coming artist for a while now. this time around michael melchner dishes up three top-notch house tracks for us. “you understand“ is techhouse at its best, where he deftly holds and rides that balance between deepness and the dancefloor. a continously forward-pushing bassline is combined with a mysterious vocal sample and restrained breaks. „wooob“ grabs you with its devastatingly simple rhythm, while the bassline cuts through with a high dose of funk. topping the track off we have a vocal loop that shows off michael’s affection to the musical beginnings of house. this ties in nicely with the ep closer »just a skip« which reminisces over the sound of chicago. profound melodies, skillfully arranged vocal samples and a whole heap of soul suggest that michael melchner may just have produced a modern house classic. so again, just like on his first ep for cargo edition in may last year, michael melchner has managed to paint a musical portrait combining the present and the past into one classic moment.

daniel steinberg continues to have great sucess on labels such as microfon, grandpetrol and stylerockets and is also the main representative for front room recordings. with his last e.p, featuring >keep on movin< and >dont you know?<, enjoying such widespread sucess we thought we should call upon the remix skills of roman flügel and siopis for this release. roman has been artistically active sine the 1990s with his own labels playhouse, ongaku musik and klang elektronik contributing some of the best house around throughout the years. his remixes for the likes of pet shop boys, human league, primal scream and kylie minogue have garnered him a worldwide recognition and now he delivers in true style to front room. siopis, fresh from his get physical release >penny from the lane<, has also recently remixed mr. static which has further pushed his name into the international dance music vocabulary. his work can also be spotted on some of the most prominent labels like get physical, bpitch control and crosstown rebels to name a few. three quality remixes making one brilliant e.p that maintains front room at the top of its game.

pezzner is back with this, his third ep for freerange, following on from the almost here and other lover releases that kicked off his solo alter ego. he is now in demand for his remix skills with upcoming remixes including mike monday and mark farina for om, lusine for ghostly international and josh wink for shaboom. its easy to hear why he is being heralded as the man to rival dave taylors earlier house productions with his totally unique sound and floor friendly arrangements which guarantee peaktime plays from djs across the board - justin martin remix

we re not sure if theres been a whole lot of russian vocal led synthy disco around of late / ever, but we definitely like the idea of it. and so we have the first release on the brand new tirk affiliated label nang. d pulses sound is a sonic cocktail that represents the different flavours of its ingredients. great for dancing, as well as regular home listening, making love or preferably cooking. you can call it russian house, full of spirit, soul and its own philosophy. now on to the tunes. the foto mix of more combines cold robo synth bass and stripped back rhythms with the haunting tale of love, loss and the ultimate fulitility of existence (probably). the original mix lives up to the live jam side to the d pulse manifesto with organic funk and jazzy chops leading the way. fellow russian alcos coolkas carries on where his new work on tirk left off, with simple but sparkling and sophisticated electronics working away with snippets of the vocal to mesmerising effect. the package rounds off with the spacey, warm, instrumental highway to saturn. nang has launched!

after a string of very popupar miss djax releases including the album on her own imprint, its now time for another guest ep. and it is another hit! manu kenton himself drops 4 tracks in his recognisable style. 4 slamming tracks, the perfect dj tool to destroy any dancefloor!!

2009 witnesses the birth of a new label, a revolution of techno music interpreted by a soul contributor in the industry: wehbba. every couple of months, this label will witness collaboration productions teamed by wehbba and friends. 82 recordings will be the foundation for a new definition for techno and the ability to represent it in all shapes and aspects and make it universal. 82 recordings begins its series with wehbba s first original production on the label titled cava, this piece infused with acid vocals, extremely fat bass, and abandons of percussion glitches and tricks. modulation abuse is what stamps this track redefining technos ability to take any shape and form. a must have peaktimer! accompanying the original is marko nastic and markantonios excelling remixes. nastics monstrous bass remix intrudes a punchy beakdown
