first 500 limited edition on red transparent vinyl! we are very proud to present the debut of 21 year old tim toh, a fresh producer with such a huge talent and character in his tracks, we guess, we didn t hear for the last decade in house music! that s a big goal to claim, but it s also the reason, we signed him for a three-part series called >join the resistance< and this is part 1. the a-side is like an intro to the whole series, starting with some charming detroitish-sequences and a smooth piano, while the beat shapes itself naturally out of the track with raw percussions and a thumpin kick... from then on it twists and turns into sweet eternity…timeless! the b-side is beatdown rhythmic wizzadry and a tool par excellance, polyrhythmic percussions and a beat that will shake every floor you dare to play it

first release in the funky house acapella series!!

cardiac arrest is back with yet another smashing ep, this time a four tracker by lexis, called >hyperkalaemia<. cardiac arrest stands for rough techno, hard beats, powerfull basslines and dark melodies, so lexis fits in perfectly! he recently shook up the hardtechno world with a release on kne deep and so he did on beast music and cannibal in 2007. cardiac arrest is next...

with >sweet murmur< the duo fabio delletorre and ennio colaci, aka minimono, delivers a funky track, that is carried by a simple deep chord. it spreads the typical oslo vibe. a hypnotic tool with percussive elements, not too obvious, no straining for effect, but deep and driving. so is the flip side of the record, with a track called >house in the house<. it s the first release of markus fix on the olso sublabel. with this pumping, energetic house tool, he definitely points out his love to this genre.

plays by laidback luke, peter gelderblom, dohr & mangold (joia), joachim garraud (joia)... 1st release on the new opaque/ demeanour tech house and deep tech label lucent recordings

>no sleep< reaches its fourth limited part, the music content is a must for fans of that cutting edge house sound that matt edwards develops in his radio slave guise

incl argy remix !! tokyo s rising star ryo murakami has already put his diverse, electronic sound on the map with the >rise< ep on dessous last year, and received great praise for his track >my soul<, snapped up by steve bug for the fabric mix series, which was piled high with atmosphere and dark, club energy. his next 12 includes two new tracks, the title cut being >down the sky<, cooly influenced by old school house, but also more recent european forays into night music. ryo demonstrates a heavy aptitude for stripped down futurism, with staccato, jilted beats, joined by layers of padded synth structures, looming somewhere between light and darkness. the b side, ‚coke‘ (no questions asked) welcomes another one of ryo‘s extended journeys, this time a stronger, peak time groove which never lets off, and builds around layers of spaced out, pitching fx. brain-tingling pitching synths heat things up, before laying down a super-funk hook that melts on top of the beats irresistibly. ryo then leads us head-first into a series of spac d out, jacked-up movements, characterised by risque, feminine vocal snippets. poker flat‘s young greek maestro, argy, creates a stunning hi-tech remix of ‚down the sky,‘ complete with mesmeric dub influenced chord stabs and tripped out washes of delay. once again carrying on the vibe of the original, but twisting it into an altogether different beast, argy takes ryo‘s warm synth stabs and shapes the remix into a slow paced yet pumping club tool.

nice price deal !!! awesome justice style cover of the frankie knuckles classic

franklin de costa (einmaleins, trapez, karmarouge, sender, frisbee) comes with a melodic, deep harmony track on a1 (survivor). a2 is a very usefool tool, while the b-side is an atmospheric, sound-missile with fresh fx sounds. electronic evergreens for you

huge richie hawtin support !! oliver dodd (acacja/xylophone jones) first appeared on addon06 and returns with a timely ep of analog rhythms and head tripping movements. hailing from nashville dodd creates a sound all his own between the influences of detroit techno and euro minimal shifts. stark, deep and pulsing best describe this 4 track ep. elevators and escalators is the title cut which will flip you up and down. a sure cut that is already in the hands of hawtin, drives with 808 beats, falling synths and rising plucks. an epic dj tool if there ever was. let it ride and play tricks. the rest of the ep is rounded out with dance floor cuts for mind and body. enjoy

supported by tom clark, sasse, 2000 and one, woody, paolo martini, 3 channels, adultnapper, dj naughty, garnier and many more.. mindforce is an extra special release we have put together for you. it features an excellent remix by kabale und liebe who is currently causing a big stir amongst the house community with his deep and dark minimal groovers, needless to mention his big hit mumbling yeah that was in the charts of almost every dj and became one of the key tracks last year. also his upcoming productions on the dutch remote area label are amongst our favourite tracks so we couldn’t resist to ask this guy to do an interpretation of a special track we made. mindforce is a bit different to the rest of the dirt crew output, we wanted to make a more reduced grooving dj tool that is still old school but on the other hand contains an hypnotic feel that is more likely to be found in current minimal productions

2008 repress!! next techhouse biggie in phantastic james holden manner!!!

bini & martini are back with a great groovin techhouse to minimal techno production styled up with crazy minimal soundscapes..check

hot dj tool for the club!

as on his first 12inch hidden structure ep, finland based producer rasmus hedlund is delivering his follow up with uplifting, energetic and ass shakin future electronic music. the opener >tasureitten jaelkeen< is a combination of the deepness of house and the direct drive and aggressiveness of the monetanous techno sound, stirred up with that special, classic and timeless feeling while the a2 takes the vibe harder with layers of pacy minimal soaked rhythms by remixer uemit akauna and his fresh mixing gives this track a real big system bass edge. on the flip we have kolinator, a more percussive tool and the b2 skuuges taas. all four tracks are aimed squarely at the dancefloor, with straight forward 4/4 beats driving through raw synth stabs, minimal percussion and deep bass - a clear-cut killer groove record which nails the crowd to the floor!

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything.

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. born in liverpool, his love for the music was passed on to him by his father, a record collector and former dj, who introduced him to crate-digging at the early age of eight. his roots stem from black music. hip-hop will become his musical bases before he discovers the acid-house explosion at the mythical hacienda in manchester. he naturally starts mixing in the late 80s/early 90s, playing a mixture of rare groove, deep-jazz, deep house, etc. he then turns to production and is noticed by gilb-rs fine-tuned ears who signs him on the spot. releases on labels like wavetec and mule musiq are planned further in the year. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything

with his now second release on mauritius, marc vision might still be a newbie to the label, but definitely not to the scene. apart from being an experienced dj since ages with a deep bond to germanys superclub >tribehouse<, he can look back on diverse releases as vision & canedy (on scuba, avalanche, plusquam & hadshot rec.), vita (together with trance pioneer taucher on labels such as tracid traxx & on a mission), visiontool (together with marc o tool on andry nalins label superfly rec.) and finally as marc vision himself (on mauritius, poison, underworld & earregular rec.). >obsession< leaves no doubt being a sure floor filler. subtly but effective the track begins with a deep bassline and develops into a kooky rave-house-monster. >the finest< on the flipside tackles things deeper and more atmospheric, but when a bulky bassline suddenly says hello half way of the track, the unmistakable command is hands up!

tomash gee (methadon, tool terror, fak, vendetta, cannibal society) is the man to call for a proper boom-basstic workout. the man has not let us down before and will surely not disappoint you now.

ltd warehouse found! an excellent three tracker from the well known artist andomat3000 (cadenza / platzhirsch). he keeps the perfect balance with adding the warm groovy house feelings and the freaky sounds he stands for! kind of his typical dippy style flavour with a bit of that minimalism tech house sound…. wicked! >vertical smile< is a percussive rhythmic and powerful minimal house tune grooving with a hypnotic voice that can be used as perfect warm tool for any dance floor. >cicl?< has an old school touch in a futuristic production and gives you real power and more than enough matters to shake and rock the dancefloor. >hominid< is an modern crazy effective techno track, nice percussion, small cuts and a deep base…frickl wickl

>this sound< is the sound of def jaguar (aka djuma soundsystem) and best mate flip. you might remember the djumas from last years >les djinns< on get physical but this is a completely different story. >this sound< is pure catchy and sexy pop-house at its best. its a flirt tool! berghain/panorama bar resident murat tepeli (playhouse/ostgut) follows with a properly crafted remix. anyone said chicago? yes, house keeps our heart pumping. this is a dj tool for the discerning selector. on the flip side, the classy joachim spieth (paso/kompakt) is set to deliver…and he delivers, no doubt about it! he shifts the cosiness of the original towards deeper and hypnotic areas turning a house anthem into a techno anthem! to finalise the matter, dubnoodles (milnor modern/rundlauf) pumps fresh energy into his remix with help from a fat bass spiced up with unexpected indie flavoured grooves!

brutal hard and fast techno-terror on the new cannibal scociety

igor tchkotoua and dan duncan are true workaholics. not only are the two mallorquinos forming one of the most exciting techno duos of our time and play in the most famous clubs worldwide, they always make it to pop up in the studio to work on their releases on sonic society, wig records or like in the case of >deliverance<, the new 12inch on cocoon. >deliverance< starts quite cautious but the track becomes more and more complex – pig & dan give the dj a tool that fits the minimal raver like a custom-made suit. the b side is again one of those tracks that put a smile on your face. in >sly detector<, atmospheric techno sound unites with energetic celebration pleasure, just as we know it from tracks like >after ibiza< or >on to the beat<. the rolling hookline which has the necessary splash of acid is, together with the floating trance layer, adrenalising to such extent that nothing else remains to be done but to raise your hands in the air. the track was already a hit with many djs in 2007, and will be one – chosen in the right moment – on many dancefloors in 2008, too

you may already know barem (aka mauricio barembuem) from his releases on (un)foundsound, pariter and phonocult or from his remixes on resopal, mos ferry and einmaleins. if so you, wont be surprised in the slightest to find him surfacing on minus with never better than late to round off what has been another groundbreaking year for this ubiquitous label. the electro flavoured broken beats of so serial (digital only) make it the perfect tool for opening a set or for shifting the mood. the melancholy tones, the massive snare reverbs and the low, stuttering acid bassline gradually turn up the pressure before eventually triggering the 4/4 section, establishing the perfect platform to propel the eve! ning onto the next level. the fantastically titled ears conclu! des the release,offering more subsonic trickery in a similar vein. the percussive licks shift up and down amid a wash of reverbs and delays, while the bubbling bassline motors forward, keeping the scuttling efx in check
