anyone who ever has listened to a live performance or a record of illeist collective knows of the difficulty to describe the sound they come up with. some say its big beat, some say its rock, electro or dance music. and as always, the truth is somewhere in between, somewhere along the lines of bands such as soulwax, digitalism or friendly fire. and the best way to find out is to listen to their energy-loaded, genre transcending and - most importantly - uncompromising music.

merseyside producer whos hybridized sound the fader describes as mix of sparkling uk funky & 21st century garage, w/scraps of other kicky dancefloor styles like dubstep & bassline bleeding through. he started djing and producing when he was 13 years old and 2010 is sure to see him come into his own. from being picked as toddla ts one to watch for 2010 on radio 1, to being signed for an ep on sindens new imprint grizzly, to being charted by globetrotters like brodinski and being tapped to remix new young pony club and the count & sinden, everything is in place for his meteoric rise. remixes by nadastrom (dubsided), & french fries (young guns).

what first started with an never-ending afterparty on a cold cold winter night, ended up in skatebards first ep for luna flicks. two vodka shots later and we have a salute to the old sounds of chicago!

re-issue of this timeless 1977 electronic release by michael bundt, way ahead of its time.

urgent, throbbing rhythms, which almost imperceptibly increase into a subtle wall of sound: the tracks on todd bodines new ep develop a hypnotic character, stolen away into a dark pulsating sound field which exactly match the title of the a-side: >dark matter<. the increasingly dense electric field mixes with sparse siren sounds that create their own unique attraction. the same qualities infuse >space and stop< on the b-side, with equally unexpected musical power surges. these are tracks that will drag the dance floor abruptly from its spell in the first few seconds, while simultaneously adding a very special drive and intensity. all in all, todd bodine proves again with his new ep - the first release after his highly successful album, >forms< – his unique sense of style, gained over almost ten years of production experience.

after the great mojuba g.o.d.2 by chez damier it is time for some oracy action, its been a while since we heard from the creator of such classics as family day and mind dance. but now after doing a very fine remix for balance alliance in the meantime, he is back in full effect. the a-side bass mood is featuring a disco break styled beat combined with a sick acid bassline à a special track for that special moment on the floor! the b-side with funk advice is cooling things a little down, but in a way only a mojuba record can do it - some serious deepness is waiting for you!

we love the way of leeks experimenting with sounds, some are quite edgy others are electronic sounding and not necessarily pleasing sounds as we get them in nearly every production these days. >qwerty< for example does not subdue to the daily routine of >todays techno< but moves upright and proudly. ever listened to jeff mills? you will then understand a bit about whats going on here.&#8232,,,,,

and last but certainly not least. the fifth episode to complete the five releases in the run up to the much anticipated 10 years of clr compilation. hold on to your hats people. the final finale, chris liebing presents his very own contribution to this 10 year anniversary compilation.

decks store tipp !! check track 3 (daniele papini & dop)... dop have managed to create their very own interpretation of how dance music should sound which makes them really something special these days… but if you combine them with the power of artists like noze, wareika, catz&dogz or daniele papini you will get some serious bombs and we are really happy to present four of them on the second watergate records vinyl! these four tracks are all taken from their incredible mix for watergate and they show perfectly the range of the 3 guys from paris. from the state of the art deep house with catz&dogz to their great jam with wareika over to some freaky session with noze it all ends with a true dance floor smasher with daniele papini. enjoy!

jamie jones / half inch jack -the return of the legendary back to basics imprint is indeed a menacing affair, with an original track from residents woodall & buckley and remixes from the irrepressible jamie jones and legendary chris duckenfield under his acid guise the >half inch jack<. the original track is named kitch n sync, and is a blistering seven minutes of menacing acid house futurism. an opening salvo of storming rhythms and vocal stabs gives way to a blistering acid bass line and crisp drum production.

the solid tumbling tones found on this ep are all thats needed as an introduction to these two accomplished producers latest creation. both strong forces in their own right, the pair come together once again on sweatshop to present their vision of dancefloor harmony, and mystery! sirens is the aptly titled track whose crazy vibe is encapsulated by jacking, swinging percussion, wild pitching synth stabs and a haunting soprano soloist letting loose! this needs to be experienced to be believed, but the proof will be in the dancefloor, hands in the air and minds expanded! moirae works the tension with dense filtered stabs and crisp solid state percussion, driving this deep slab of dark dance into blissful moments of release. mellow yet urgent, its a raw, purist electronic statement! joel alter also offers up a special edit which focuses the groove in a slightly more kinetic direction, with reduced, aquatic synth work and a classic club energy that makes it an ideal addition to the package.
