limited !! deeep detroit / jazzy house madness.

following his prized joker rework, his inclusion on the hefty fabric-curated >elevator music< comp, his dope 7 inch for the all city crew, and corridor ep on plasticians terrorhythm imprint - not to mention a slew of remixes - om unit joins the civil music stable alongside starkey, reso, debruit, drums of death and darling farah. and yet again we see him pushing his sonic manifesto ever further. with years of working intently at the nexus of instrumental beats and electronic music, its time for the timps ep. the timps is real electro. faceless, percussive, underground with a sci-fi feel. dark, futuristic and dancefloor-oriented, punctuated with elements of 80s detroit techno.

jyc-001 is the first release from junk yard connections. a small indie-label formed by a twenty years old guy from stockholm. highvalley is a floating track with elements and inspiration from jungle like motown, but still with a steady housegroove. feel is a track with a lot of melancholy mixed with a great swing. perfect for the afterhour! jyc-001 will just be released in wax and strictly limited to 250 numbred copies.

following the massive 12inch on traveller last year comes the debut release on under the shade from hotly tipped alphabet city. remixes come from eskimos due downtown party network and disco stalwart toby tobias. expect to see much more from this act in 2011 with remixes on international feel and a handful of choice edits all being released.

classic us house album

akiko kiyamas latest release features four tracks of intricate drum programming, bringing her characteristic warmth to the groove with their ghostly whispered vocal samples and the clicking and clanking poly-rhythmic sound made famous by the legendary berlin imprint, perlon. the first track, carnival, brings all the fun of the fair, a swirl of coloured lights barely glimpsed amongst the heaving throngs of somewhere like bar 25, followed on by an abstract slow burner which sneaks up on you with its sneezed vocal snippets and jangling bassline. talon, a real dancefloor creeper, clips along insistently and the final track, with its bass-guitar and pulsing synth line rounds of the record in perfect ethereal fashion. as akiko puts it herself, >deepness, depression, beauty, irony, fun - these are keywords for my music also my life itself<. you can definitely feel that there is much more thought put into these productions than just purely the need to move people on the dancefloor.

though there is something refreshing and original about the afronauts, their music could be described as somewhere in between the heavy afrobeat of fela kuti and the ethio-jazz of mulatu astatke. this debut 12 inch single combines all these elements, >journey through time< having a hypnotic, spiritual feel, whilst the b side >kibo< is totally exclusive to this 12 inch single, and is an upbeat positive groove, both tracks only hinting at the delights the forthcoming album flight of the ancients (fsrcd/lp085) will contain.

taking a break from compiling his latest masterpiece while simultaneously remixing and re-editing for various labels, al kent delivers another trio of peak time disco movers.. on the a side “feel it baby” is a classic everyone should know, twisted and tweaked for today’s loop-hungry dancers. the phrase “bassline to die for” was coined to describe this song. then there’s the strings… oof! flip it for you got it, an edit that’s been in al’s armoury a while, one that people always ask for.. so here it is. “drums to die for”? built around one serious serious disco break. lastly, theres loving living feeling. a super funky clav, rhodes and string groove that really packs a punch! million dollar disco is loved by dimitri from paris, pat les stache, solid state, cosmic boogie, greg wilson, peter adarkwah, the dead rose music company, horse meat disco, nik weston, chris harris and many many more..

and there’s more.. number six in million dollar disco’s latest release series, as you’ve probably come to expect, is more vintage dancefloor fodder from the reels (mac) of al kent.. “message to the people” started life as a classic, then went through the blender, coming out all wrong, but so right. stomping along on a killer clav groove, punctuated by horns and an evergreen vocal. ” feel the groove” is a heavy hitter, thumping drums and bass with a synth hook that grabs you and doesn’t let go. finally there’s “keep on doing” which is almost house music in it’s simple repetitive bass groove and gospel style vocal shots.. million dollar disco is loved by dimitri from paris, pat les stache, solid state, cosmic boogie, greg wilson, peter adarkwah, the dead rose music company, horse meat disco, nik weston, chris harris and many many more

limited, 300 pressed… once upon a time in a borough not so far away… endlessly walking the streets, on one of those hot-as-hell summer days in brooklyn nyc. you pause on the corner, to catch your breath, only to have an old box of records catch your eye. your fingers start to gather dust as you rifle though 12s with names like strictly rhythm, nu groove, madhouse, henry street and loop nloop on the labels. as you reach the end of your frenzied search, one unassuming piece of wax, in particular, seems to mysteriously peek your interest… on the corner vol. 1. the debut release for the brooklyn nyc based cortelyou road recordings. this will be first in a series of compilations coming from cortelyou road. leaving no stone unturned in their search for the finest production talent from around the globe

precise, organic, lush, zooming and funky beyond reason, its the fireside burner that will take you into spring. harvey is back with the third and final installment of his locussolus adventure before his album release in spring 2011.

cult swedish producer and multi-instrumentalist tiger stripes arrives on audiomatique with this incredible new three track ep. a monstrous lesson in modern minimalism, ah-64 pumps with a dark yet funky inner power thats felt even stronger after the sinister string laden break. slow building and totally infectious this trippy late-nighter is built for the big rooms and will have you reaching for the lasers in no time. on a slightly lighter tip, how we feel warms us with funky, energetic percussion in a modern and positive tech-house jam. with smooth future house keys and plenty of details its a straight forward floor burner. back to detroit city takes us right there, deep, dubbed and melodic this retrospective workout features delicate melodies laden above yet more warm, powerful and driving beats. continuing, elongating and drifting, its a perfect conclusion to the ep.

a reissue of 3 must-have dancefloor glisteners taken from their tough to find us boogie lp >the exoutic touch<. the exoutics were a group of ny-based muscicians who in the 80s released their album on the privately owned dee gee records. nows its an in demand boogie rarety. the soulful lead vocals are complemented with sweet background arrangements. the vocals are closely coupled with the music resulting in an almost playful interaction.

3 track collection with slamming tracks...dustin zahn & truncate with hypnotic techno and freddie fresh with his huge acid definition

need to warm up? want to dance and you love house music? then your gonna to love this track. david guettas ability to supply a proper dance-pop stonker again evident with whos that chick. feel the adrenaline / moving under my skin / its an addiction, the barbadian songbird rihanna hollers over bolshy beats and swaggering synths, the studio trickery on her nonchalant vocals feeling colder than an ice pop on a snowy day. its a good job, then, that bopping along to this - and warming yourself up in the process - is pretty much impossible to resist.

one would be curious as to what a track such as this one would sound like. images and visuals floating through your head as you press play, the airy, angelic pad intro induces you into a trance-like state before soothing piano lines and a pitched-up vocal reminiscent of the early hardcore era takes you away. as the drums come in with a half-time feel, it is easy to imagine japanese taiko drummers playing their part. once the break takes hold, a short span of melodic heaven uplifts before the drums take control again.

slamming big room bomb!!

short about the label: a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we are gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it… im very glad to introduce yet another member to out internasjonal >family<. mathew senick aka mathew leutwyler. mathew got in touch through the web from mexico and it took us only a brief listen to this troika of wonderful sounds to convince us. now decide for yourself if theres something wrong with my ears….. ps: my computer tells me hes had releases out on perspectiv and traum, ill definitely investigate further, so should you
