since their first releases on circus company and milnormodern the 3 mousketeers achieve to impose themsleves on the scene with their unik touch. the band is clement zemtsov on beat programing, damien vandesande on keyboards and horns at last but not least, jonathan illel is warmly laying the lyrics. after having produced hip-hop instrumental for a few years they got into house music after meeting nicolas from nôze. one year and a half later they come up with between the blues ep, a brilliant first ep on circus company. then the guys several eps on other labels like orac or eklo. they also start touring a lot across europe and eastern countries. this new record is called blanche neige (snow white) as the lead track of the ep. all the lyrics from it are taken from the original text written by jacob & whilelm grimm back in 1812. .blanche neige is declined in two different versions. on the a side comes the original mix is the dancefoor cut. slower house beat, solid groove, surround by a marvelous chior. while the break show upreading the first lines of snow white in french. let me just tell you that when the break is over you should fasten your seat belt before a nice take off… the first track on b side is romeo. this track was produced by dop and nôze. once again all the lyrics are taken from a book. here its from .romeo and juliet written by william shackespeare. this track perfectly represent the alliance of both bands. the unik saxophone skills from damien vandesande the one man horn section, a wonderfull piano ride by nôze and the sexy voice of jonathan illel. an acoustic house blaster ! the ep is finaly closing down on b2 with the pop version of blanche neige called >kinder cut. there comes the deepness

claremont 56 releases its first smith & mudd 7inch in a limited edition of series of four (a-d). side a sees smith & mudd at their best, a pure feel good track that puts you in a life affirming mood and gets the feet moving. side b takes it a bit deeper with the acoustic guitar backing a wooden flute solo. these are extremely limited and these are 250 copies only for the world. breath taking!

groovebox ep is filled with some class a material for the raunchy dancefloor. first up there is into the club. this track is typical for channel x: it will blow off the roof in the club! as the title of the track already suggests, this is another one of channel xs lengthy journeys into nightlife extravaganzas. a wonderful fidgety bassline and a loop filled with loads of soulful vocal samples from strong male leads to sensitive female souls, this tune is both deep, touchful and destroying. the chainsaw effect session in the middle paves the way for more stomping tech-house business. no time to recover from this, because on the flip its straight onto the floor with wake up: a loop thats made of trillions of little cut-up effects, vocal bits and some straight four to the floor business. after a playful beginning the tune moves into an hypnotic piece of trippy techno only to be converted into a restless party anthem for the Überpeak-time. sick! perhaps there is some time to chill with the last of the three tracks that is against the wall. here it becomes clear what channel x are best at: to create dark, hard and moving electronic music with that special ingredient that is soul. this track is a perfect example: some frightening effects, lots of reverb on the creepy samples, but such a wonderfully harmonic sample that seems to shed light at the end of the never-ending afterhour. if there is a message to this music, it would be: you need to look hard, but there is always love. once again label boss oliver koletzki has picked up these two very talented producers very early upon their career and it has paid off: in one release being better than the one before

brand new label that offers a refreshing crunchy techno stomper, with some nice production touches. coded signals that pull you to the dancefloor with its old school sensibilities- watch out for the name as we think you will hear plenty more from the intalopa, this boys fresh

cobra records continues on the beat techno, with a spanish artist david moleon, an owner of the label moo up, who delivers us tracks techno 2 indeed, including, break, good bass turn, an artist that we shall see evolving on the other labels for the future. killians followup the boss of the label, already produced on labels primate, primevil, yin yang, which remixed the track no control, with a groovy touch, or we reknow its signature, and by adding it some good samples old school. a very good e.p to shake your dancefloors

already the fourth release on the label bazz implant records. this time its an one sided killah! divato & troubleboy strike hard with this track, filled with pounding kicks, bass and a raw uplifting melodie and the vocals are done by no one less than da mouth of madness! the cool vocal edits combined with the phat kicks and bass will make ya rock! prepare for this massive floorfiller! already major support by: deepack, dana, noisecontrollers, vortex, dozer, b-front, the pitcher, dallucia, coyote...

rinder & lewis: anger - considered one of the most abstract production teams of the disco era, this cut was taken from their >seven deadly sins< album (very rare!). never released on 12inch inch, this cut was a music box fave! not much to edit, just give it a dj friendlier drum intro. a great cut for a disco or a deep house set!mighty clouds of joy: time - one of my favorite edits! taken from their >its time< album. even thought this song was produced by dave crawford, the philly sound played a big part in it (thanks to norman harris on guitar & earl young on drums). the song was originally recorded in 2 parts, so i combined them with a little bit of dub. yes, you can give praise and boogie at the same time!

fusing some weird italo-ish vibes together with some unmistakenly drexciyan influences this is a pretty unique release on rh! concepts often bring interesting results and this is no exception.. i think its going to be a real >love it or hate it< record. yurotrago take the track somewhere completely different, stretching it out on a different kind of vision. awesome deep and moody action for the floor. the packaging is awesome for this one

played by oliver huntemann, dubfire, the glitz, loco dice, stephan bodzin,timo maas, popof, butch, gregor tresher ... andré winter needs no introduction. hes been around for ages, pushing forward dance music in amyn different ways & styles. most recently he co-produced the insane dubfire & huntemann collabos >diablo< on cocoon and ideal audio. and now hes back with a super strong solo release. the a-side >trauma< comes with a slight afterhour- feeling. with its drifting beat construction it makes sure your psychiatrist still has some work left to do. on the bside the name of the game is >karma< . as the title implies its a really deep and conscious tune with stripped down rhythm, >hands in the air<-chords and exciting soundeffects. great work! this guy simply know hoe to cane euphoria

killer two tracker !! thirtyonetwenty presents a new artist to our growing roster of international talent. fabio giannelli takes us to the carribean with the wonederfully titled trinidad e taboga, lumber up & limbo down to this tribal floorfiller killer, a solid pumping mammoth that keeps pace until the delay soaked breakdown adds another dimension, when the beats drop back in, the crowd is rocked to the maxx. madrugada on the flip is a massive hypnotic chicago styled jack monster .. solid, reliable & liable to destroy any floor where its dropped.. now.drop down give me twenty.. work that body cmon now

rmxs by clouded vision & noob ! i met brodi early last year, he had a track called >bad runner< that i had been playing incessantly. it leaked onto blog sites months before its release on mental groove in october 2007. it found its way into erols box among many others very early on and the hot fuss began. as a dj, despite hailing from france (reims, lille), unexpectedly brodis taste is broad. if your expecting banging gnarly electro bombs… unlucky. he can play anything from noisy techno, bass heavy house through to more melodic minimal. plus, if you think you spend more time searching the net for new tunes than anyone else, think again. this guy is committed and now his second, and even better ep is here and he has saved it just for turbo

the 4th installment of the sounds superb series explores further the possibilities of randomness. this time its a bit more on the stoner tip. lots of editing and messing with the turntable pitch control to generate the depth and exitment we love so much when sampling. we liked it so much that we had to include 20 min. short radio mix of conservation of momentum.

the third installment in the catz n dogz vinyl series is a showcase for two standout songs off their album stars of zoo. >sf< is a throwback to classic house tracks, with a modern twist - a playground full of joyous children have invaded its sly, bongo-laden grooves. yet these precocious youngsters are only part of the story – the beats insistent and ever-changing swing never lets up for more than a couple of moments. >2< is more ominous but no less effective. its primary percussion enters like springs filling up an echo chamber, gradually morphing into several competing themes that weave together throughout the track. 2s bass is a serious force, creating a physical presence that must be heard on a large system to be believed!

omanko is the only word that is unmentionable in japanese media and public speech. its also the next single from catz n dogz - a strange hybird of cinematic swells, quirky natural drums and popping guitar plucks. its unorthodox groove builds relentlessly, anchored by a shouting chorus and warm bass bubbles that swell from the depths like some massive ancient sea creature. they take their time building to the climax, finishing the track with late-entering keyboard theme that quickly swirls into a frenzy. perfect for tipping that peaktime crowd over the edge! the italoboyz remix completely remolds the groove to fit their distinctive vision, seamlessly integrating shards from the original into their tension-fuelled agenda. breakdowns of varying sizes dominate the sonic landscape, as their annihilating kick plays hide and seek with the strings throughout the track. finally, all the elements are reunited by the echo-drenched vocal line and percussive baritone sax stabs – a satisfying finale to this latenight masterpiece.

here we go. the second >home sweet home sessions< lies upon the table! that means: upon you is celebrating its second anniversary and is looking back on another successful year. again- this fine compilation puts together a selection of the members of the inner circle of production, with whom theyve been sharing the nightlife and the love to electronic dance-music. they all belong to the berlin techno-scene and will not miss being there when it comes to the new-years edition of their favourite perspiratory gland- work exhibition: the >home sweet home afterhour”< in the arena club to berlin on january 1st 2009. as diverse as the musical accents on this party are, the tracks will present themselves alike- comfortably labled and sinfully one next to another

incl rene breitbarth rmx! dubby touched electronic vinyl ep! bicoma, a band formed in 2007 by its components aless and medu (malaga/jaen-spain), part of the toys community (marbella). influenced by the most avantgarded sounds and experimental electronica but always focusing their style towards the dancefloor.

phutura is a name you don t hear too much about, a unique name much like the artist who owns it but i think its adagio duty to exploit one of the most exciting artists today! phutura has been making quality underground minimal electronic house on adagio itself, minisketch, globox and registrazioni italiane

back with another of their much loved eps - the knee deep guys dig deep to satisfy your dancefloors yet again courtesy of the french love ep. kicking off with >all night< a charged up bullet with hooky vocal loop and infectious synthy lick, >vibin< is exactly that - a stabby low end bassline powers on alongside the sweet warming melody whilst the whole groove builds and builds leading to the chant-fuelled breakdown. rounding things off, >sweet love< has that epic crowd pleasing vibe you will have come to expect from the kd guys… again its simplicity at its best using a hooky riff throughout, and allowing the groove to shine. a power-packed ep in 3 different flavours

sometime chicken lips collaborator and full time disco don stevie kotey keeps the momentum going on his longstanding and ever consistent imprint by going slightly off piste with the latest bearfunk 12inch. for my friends is the work of lusty zanzibar aka alex cordiner, cabaret voltaire fan and former holistic artist, and we re struggling to describe it effectively to be honest. its a simple concoction of fluttery synth riffs and fat bottom end, but has the sort of quirky melody that you just dont expect to hear in a noo disco record, or a house record for that matter. it is, however totally infectious, and destined to be one of bearfunks biggest of the year we reckon. solid mixes come from kotey and lusty himself, and all are dominated by the riff, as will your brain be after listening to this package a few times. beginning of the night, end of the night, all night, all aboard the wonky disco train to zanzibar

perc trax returns with its 2nd in the pots & pans series, this time around with tracks from misc (sender / klang / resopal), simone tavazzi (analytictrail/perc trax) and oscar (karateklub / lordag). ruling over the a-side are german techno overlords misc, who when not recording for berlins sender imprint spend their time as niederflur for richie hawtins all conquering m_nus. >modern times< is build on rolling ercussion grooves, a jabbing bassline and a number of short but effective breaks.

incl rmxs by jay haze & ernesto ferreyra !! lomidhigh unlmtd is a platform for non earthly music and frequencies from distant galaxies, that has echoed down onto us here at planet earth. the label aims to release music that knows no boundaries. to create a home for a label that doesnt contain itself to one genre or time. music that experiments and pushes its own limits into new and undiscovered musical territories. taking influences from the past, and presenting them in a new form. lomidhigh unlmtd has its sights set on the endless limits of the universe, in which it can roam freely and not be contained by gravity or any other earthly presence. the main concept behind the label is to not pigeonhole itself. expect the unexpected. its aim is to give record stores a rough time deciding which genre to put the releases under. at a time where the world is in dire shape, we feel its time to get away from the world and float into outer space. once named the final frontier, the universe knows no limits. the perfect place to surf through the milky ways to distant galaxies, to hear moments of the past echoing into the future. lomidhigh unlmtd is stoked to present its first release. monotaxs debut, the argentinean band formed by dilo (aka elephant pixel), imi and zooey.

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythings that sounds fine to their ears! for our 11th release , we decided to bring you guys a brand new track from the italo master of all time: the fantastic beppe loda under the name italowerk. honestly, we were not expecting anything, as he did so much for electronic music already for the past 20 years, resident at the legendary typhoon club in italy (brescia), playing a huge amount of electronic underground tracks that are praised today by clubbers & vinyl fetishists, he created also what we called today afro cosmic. we could sum up his new project just by its name italowerk = kraftwerk meets underground italo. the first track is called sognando that we could translate by dreaming. indeed, this is a very powerfull track, that sounds almost like an italo lost gem (circa 1982) but with an incredible modern feeling, full of crazy electro synths, arpeggios and a terrible kick: an athem!

transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

meridian is a perfect example of dj 3000s evolution as a producer. the mark of a good producer is to never stop growing, once you do, you are condemned to making the same record over and over again and hoping no one notices. this record is the perfect marriage between the percussive staples of the motech sound, and a new lighter exploration of sound elements by dj 3000. >meridian< dares you to sit still while listening to it, or to stand on the wall if you are near a dance floor. its ability to make you dance as well as captivating your ear if you are sitting and listening illustrates the dynamic flexibility of the motech sound.
