pumping electro house!!!

part 2 with danny serrano, philip bader, benny rodrigues, onno

johannes mai, the rostock born, crazy drummachine user is back under his john spring attire for a gritty floor sweepin three piece ep on airdrop records. it is with great pleasure that we announce this benzo ep, for airdrops magical number ad 018. the record opens with >playing no more games<, with its old school samples and structure, already set to make some serious floor damage. the title track, >benzo< brings things down a notch, featuring heavy filters and hat action. hands down, >drummachines< and its libidinous basslines win the grit-cup!

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

fresh from the success of his sellout collaboration with dj venom on the underground hit >deeper<, benjamin damage is back.
the first release on doc daneekas ultra-on-point label ten thousand yen is still ringing in the ears of clubbers all over the world after being smashed by modeselektor and his latest ep looks set to be even bigger.
following the release of his acclaimed debut solo vinyl >zeppelin< for modeselektors 50 weapons label, benjamin damage returns with the eclectic 4 track ep >antidote< on his own >solva< label. flying from the beautiful melodies of >no snares< and infectious rhythms of >run and bounce< to the hard uk funky/techno hybrid >808 rhythm< and pure main room energy bliss of >pump<, this is an absolutely essential purchase.

nach dem massiven erfolg, den die gebrueder zenker mit ihrer definition von munich techno einfuhren, kommt nun endlich moechte man meinen die nummer 2 auf harry klein records. diesmal teilen sich die harry klein residents benna und kid.chic die split-ep.benna schneider, resident der ersten stunde, debuetiert hier auf ganzer linie mit seiner ersten produktion und erweitert die klanglichen parameter des harry klein sounds um eine neue richtung weird house. bereits in seinen sets zeigte sich stets eine gewisse affinitaet zu psychedelischer wirrnis, doch angesichts dieser zwei stuecke wuenscht man sich in der tat, dass bennas psychiater diese scheibe niemals zu ohren bekommt. darueber hinaus gibt auch der (releasetechnisch) ebenso jungfrõuliche kid.chic seine premiere mit einem elegant reduzierten housetrack, durchsetzt mit subtiler disco-aesthetik, die den moment der ersten sonnenstrahlen noch einmal perfekt ausformuliert. damit wõre auch alles gesagt, eine split-ep zwischen wahnsinn und liebe.

our search for real club music gems has led us to hamburg, where a young man and his nord modular has been attracting our attention for quite a while now: benjamin brunn.
at least since his workshop005 release, he has modulated his way straight in our hearts. unlike other artists, he knows how to let his synthesizers speak and tells us little stories, while always searching for new romanticfrequency ranges. so >my heart< tells us a story, from the in-ear adapter straight into the heart.

4 massive mixes for this collaboration of kelis and benny benassi.

yore returns with the 3rd release on the yore limited series. 300 limited copies in green transparent vinyl. a beauty musically and for the eye. orlando b. favours the kind of funky and raw-sounding techno that flourished during the late-’90s and early-’00s and so naturally invests his maiden voyage on the yore imprint with the same kind of classic soul that renders that earlier era’s sound so appealing. ” beneath the surface ep ” largely focuses on warm house grooves. “a feeling” dishes out eight minutes of classic deep house that’s also as funky as hell. a subtle latin percussion vibe sneaks in at the beginning but quickly enough the tune rolls out a warm house strut that dominates thereafter, piano sprinkles, lush strings, and a crisp, hi-hat-spun groove give the tune added style and flair, as does the insistence of the titular vocal sample. “esoteric” digs into a steamy, bass-driven house beat that’s both raw and funky, then slathers it with a synth solo that squeals with delight, while “new york tale” smoothens its techno core with warm chords and delicious house swing. “mj12&#8243,,,, is the coolest and most techy cut on this diverse four cut ep. orlando b. sprinkling billowing dub chords and a spoken voice sample over a rock-solid tech-house base that will go straight under your skin, when it hits you on the dancefloor. 300 copies left still. go grab yours before it’s too late

hive audio is here – a brand new label, run by the makers of the infamous hive club, located in the the industrial quarter of zurich. the imprint was founded by samuel gmur and adrian wöllhaf, better known as animal trainer with some great releasing on oliver koletzkis stil vor talent, amongst others. zurich is not only party capital of beautiful switzerland, it is more and more becoming a habitat for talented and creative music producers and djs, who will now get a new international platform. releases will be held mainly by residents of the hive club itself – benja will be given the honour to start off with his track paradose. >paradose< impresses with a funky percussion loop, ultra-brief chords and scantily applied vocal snippets. benja keeps it dust-dry, leaving out every kind of frippery and lifting the track to a real &#64258,,oor-&#64257,,ller without any razzmatazz needed. on the &#64258,,ip we have a remix by christian burkhardt, who needs no further introduction. he turns the number into a real techno loop monster, which will catch you within a few beats, and then wont let loose again. hypnotic and twinkle-toed at the same time, his remix easily will suit any after hour or peaktime set to the same degree. christian burkhardt himself is also one of our favourite guests in the club. this is why, of course, we are double happy to welcome a hive club resident on our hive audio 001.

absolutely superb debut release from paul bennett on the new modernista label. he shares his love for raw machine music as exemplified by mid to late eighties labels like trax, dj international, dance mania & hotmix5 across these four tracks of expertly constructed retro deep house, acid and emotive electronic disco timeless music, which totally redefined the clubbing soundtrack, revisited and rendered in glorious modern production technicolour homage, yes... but with enough noughties nouse to win over a whole new generation.
