encer kincy was giant in chicagos house music revival - part of the second wave of younger djs and producers that took the music of the early 1980s, rubbed it up and dropped it in places like 500 west cermak, medusa’s and the vault. a lot of people who are now superstars of the scene - mark farina, sneak, derrick carter, and dozens of others - were a part of that movement, too. spencer released a number of tracks on relief, planet e, cajual, peace frog - labels representing the classics of that era - and he usually recorded under the name gemini. as a dj, he operated in his own space - i’m sure he could play for a room, and sometimes did, but the unrestrained madness of a spencer kincy dj set had to be heard over several hours to appreciate. he could blend a sleazy disco track into hard acid, downtempo into a punishing armani track, jazz into detroit techno and so on. it wasn’t technically brilliant or tricky, but the selection was exquisite. a number of figures from his era still list him as an influence. his productions, viewed as a whole, are so much like his sets: going softer than many dared to go, and going much harder than just about any dared to go. simple jack tracks! respected by the standards of the industry of the time, and you certainly couldn’t go anywhere in chicago without hearing derrick, sneak, mark, lego, gene, jevon, diz, johnny or the other djs beating them. and so many of them have a timelessness - a little piece of eternity stuck like some bit of wax between the grooves

treated with love by ellen allien, josh wink, laurent garnier, robag wruhme, mathias kaden, adultnapper, butane, donk boys, falko brocksieper, james teej, nick höppner, the cheapers, mr.statik, sonja moonear, vincent lemieux... music with its seven notes, coming back to its first one at the octave: simple, limitless and ad infinitum. this is the next clever coup from zurich.
>ave leo< is an homage to life. the three guys from pompelmoessap lay it on thick and dally over a tenderly melting melody, skillfully play with shakers, drum cuts and low deep down effects. evoking a conjuring atmosphere that gets under your skin. the groove is right. the sun rises, early in the morning at the club.
on the b-side you will find a collectible, an everlasting trip of melancholic club couch music with bob dylans cultural message from the 70ies. ion ludwig looks at >spiritual devil< as a kind of protest against all those 2d digitally recycled techhouse sounds, which are released every day en masse. here plays timeless music for connoisseurs who want to feel and think while listening. smoke some weed before listening. peace.

what a start in 2010!!!

in japanese niwa means garden. the concept of what an album should be is really taken seriously here. with >niwa< what you open your ears and emotions to isnt just another loose bundle of tracks. all the single stories, element by element, are constantly fusing together into a greater whole. this is rippertons world. he draws on all the influences that have journeyed with him as a passionate musician on life’s long and winding road. influences far beyond dark booming warehouse parties abound, and are just as likely to conjure up vivid images of dewy lausanne sunsets. folk tinged downbeat experiments peacefully co-exist with delicious jazz blueprints and sublime ambient soundscapes, sitting in harmony with deeply hypnotic house grooves.

since his last release on circus company (fleurette ccs033), djulz add been quite busy in the sutdio. he did a lot of remixes for slam on soma, matthew dear on get physical, 2000 & one on 100%, arnaud le texier on 20:20 vision and spencer parker on rekids. hes now back with a freshly baked 3 tracker called rotondo. thats also the track title of the a side. rotondo is techy and slightly dark. there you feel a constant pressure that will leeds you to euphoric pad which is just a simple saxophone screaming sample. on the b side we are getting into some naïve and housy feeling with on the road. then ideas are fishes is closing down the record on catchy vocal hook. that king of track to keep the party rolling. once again d julz delivers some great cuts that should be soon on rotondo everywhere

prime numbers are back with e11.... the latest in the pn e.p series. three exclusive tracks by mr scruff & kaidi tatham, motor city drum ensemble and andrés! this time we feature a heavyweight collaboration between mr scruff & kaidi tatham who provide a smouldering jazz-house production with kaidi leading the way on keys and flute on top of a chunky, bottom-heavy groove. motor city drum ensemble drops a killer raw cut. a heavily smashed jackin’ disco workout with all the markings of a fine cajual dub or early striclty rhyhtm. the track oozes soul and is unpretentiously aimed at the dancefloor. once again danilo plessow proves less is more. andrés completes the line up with a cheeky blend of some classic ingredients. sounding like a track from his early releases, “jack city” has all the essential hallmarks of the andrés sound with an excellently simple but purely effective fusion of house and hiphop ethics

nice price deal !!! back from the dark streets of manhattans west side scndl comes creeping back into the picture. reminiscent and inspired by old chicago house from the likes of master c&j, need to know asks you, what gets you in. this time around theres a devastating set of mixes from across the atlantic. the uks lee mortimer takes the main riffs and raves it up with his turbulent basslines while markus lange & sterofunk keep it on the deeper side of dark electro. fukkk offf wraps up the package with a simple yet effective edit that fattens things up on the bottom while keeping it glued to the floor. what gets you in?

dug up from the crypts this one is set to explode. todd terry esque synth stabs over top of some larry levan flavored beats. all the accapella pieces are included and on the flip joeski gets to work and brings this retro house jam to the forfront. with a simple bassline and some dubbed out effects on top and a harder kick...

arms goes japan! on the seventeenth cut we present a mindblowing japanese line up, which will take you straight to the land of the rising sun. we welcome the talented newcomers asagaoaudio and kyoudai itsumo, both part of the new wave of japanese industrial techno producers. beside fresh blood we also present some experience on the black gold. takaaki itoh and go hiyama have been partners in crime on stage for a while now and its about time they share the same vinyl on arms. prepare for some cutting edge, razorsharp dark metallic rhythms and sonic structures straight from japan.

another double vinyl of amazingly well crafted detroit techno, from the master of dark, mysterious & sci fi-edged techno tracks, a vintage mills with his imaginative forays into the future. 4 long tracks: medium gray, resonate: the seduction of decaying expectations, filters a/b: the urge to swirl alone in a pool of ridicule, simple degrading devices of reflectivity.

tiger supported by... rob da bank, kiko, markus kavka, mihalis safras, justin berkovi, ivan smagghe, orde meikle... moonbeam are back on traum! the russian brothers had a great year and have been voted as one of the top 100 djs worldwide by uk dj mag, in december 2009. we think they are wonderful, dedicated people who really deserve winning this award. with their new a-side track >tiger< moonbeam show their timeless quality and their deep knowledge of music, writing a seemingly simple but gigantic track. if you want to express in words what this track is like you might say it is a hybrid of joe beltrams >energy flash< fuelled with a melodic note and a lot of post-techno feeling. creating a revival of rave which so many people speak about, but so few actually reflect in theirproductions! the energy of this dark monumental new school acid track is counteracted by the two tracks on the flipside >land of the lost (strict mix)< and >zoo<. the b1-track >land of the lost< sounds like a soundtrack for a film set in a ghost-town in the midwest of the united states. a track that travels like a camera does... through different rooms of a deserted mansion. the b2-track >zoo< is the beat track of the record. it relies on its cool driving sequences and the hypnotic feeling it creates through them. adding small changes here and there that keep the track constantly going.

pure and simple brazilian houser on ssoh produced by claude monnet and featuring a host of live musicians as well as the lush vox of brazilian singer monica nogueira. all mixes have a rich vibe to them and there are two beats only mixes as well.

strongest yamyam release so far, just listen!
gregor tresher: yes, a-side, simple and cool, will def play this out!!
matt star: wow, very very nice release, i like both sides, in my charts...
frank leicher: cool release again on yamyam

from the studio of scott grooves... modified suede... music that you can feel. great selection of basic house tracks in the vein of his recent scott grooves release on clone (coco brown). this is a special tribute to clean simple rhythm tracks and scott grooves shows that being one of the first techno musicians on the planet doesnt have to mean that the passion for pure dance music has to disappear after so many years in the music bizz. excellent collection of tracks that lean towards classic house music, but with that fresh simple approach of many of the new school house producers! very much recommended!

support from andre rozzo, alex jones, so inagawa, jamie jones, matthew styles-harris, laurent garnier, steve lawler, nic fanciulli. luna records is a new uk based label from respected club promoter/ dj/ producer paul bowen, the man behind middlesbroughs infamous >riff raff< events. the label is set to release music from some pretty well established artists with an emphasis on stripped back chunky house music and in that vein the debut single sees the much hailed german producer chris lattner step up get the imprint firing in the right direction. lattner has been djing for the best part of two decades, initially gracing the decks at hannover techno parties before word of his talent spread, seeing him strike out to play across germany. he has hosted a radioshow for australias pulse radio, worked as a booking agent for lessizmore and has had releases on labels such as einmaleins musik and wba. his passion for electronic music has shone through in everything he has done and led him to produce some great records, to which can now be added the luna debut >memory<. this single release kicks off with lattners original of >memory<, a solid tech driven slice of house with heavily effected vocal samples and a simple floor shaking groove. this is understated underground house music at its best, deep chunky and highly effective. first of the two remixes comes from ex-peace division man justin drake, who builds on the vibe of the original, thickening out the drums and layering some heavy filters over the sythn stabs to great effect. a straightforward and highly effective arrangement provides everything that is needed in this excellent reworking. finally we have a remix from bearweasel, who have been providing choice cuts in house music over the last year via labels such as tsuba, supernature, bloop and murmur. for their >lazy dub< they take things back to basics and turn in a slab of deep and dubby house with an emphasis on razor sharp percussion and earth moving bass. this is a superb debut from a label that is sure to become a major fixture in 2010.

played by: gorge, hosh, alex keji, nick warren, agoria, coyu, oliver klein, osunlade...
beef records is proud to present another peak time tech house vinyl ep. >hann< is one of those tracks that are very hard to forget – catchy vocal, simple groove, groovy bassline and amazing sound scapes keeps every dancefloor busy. on remix duties we have the only greek dj who has been smashing international charts, producing world wide hits (like >jauce<) and touring at the same time. kreon gives hann extra twist, loose percussion and off time rhythms. fans of twisted techno will love this remix. another remixes are by our very own shades of gray who take hann on a bit more melodic journey and australian murat kilic who brings some great tech house chords and shakers to fulfill this package.

techhead toolbox is a vinyl series concept brought to you by techhead recordings based on the idea that the most basic tools are simple machines. the audible result aims in crossing the line between techno as we know it and techno as we dont. each record is inspired by the usage of different tools and each tool plays a significant role in each record. the always innovative duo of john karagiannis and paylipservice (techhead recordings, soulaccess, relatives, techment) put out tonsil guillotine while perc remixes this special gem. the surreal scissors was already great, this is even better! get into the concept!

repress , back in stock !!!including anja schneider remix of >three weeks<. part 2 of his album released on three 12 inches. massive top dj support!
the choice of anja schneider for remix duties was an obvious one, the pair first met on a shuttle bus to an event and in short stead paul was co-writing for anja, becoming part of the driving force behind her huge debut album ‘beyond the valley’, now she pulls out all the stops to reciprocate with this standout reworking.
first up on the package is the anja schneider remix of ‘three weeks’, the opening cut from paul’s recent album. here the pair, deconstruct the parts and rebuild things into a deep and hypnotic version that has instant dancefloor appeal stamped all over it. solid, chunky drums rub up against simple spacey synth lines and warm pads to huge effect. bearing in mind the superb quality of the original this is a job well done, and a real addition to this great package.
next we have the original of ‘three weeks’, a track named after the extensive time it took to record. paul had originally intended to record the album in 6-8 weeks, then ended up spending nearly half of his allocated time on this opener. but it has to be said it was worth the effort. this is a slice of solid tech inspired house with subtle vocal elements and a musicality that cuts through the records club based nature. excellent stuff.
finally we have diamant flute, another winner from the ‘me, myself and live’ album. deep and highly engaging this again displays paul outstanding talents as a producer, weaving melodic elements deep into the mix and retaining an incredible underground electronic sound.

roughly translated, hasta el fin means >the very last number of the night<, appropriate when you consider this is gigolos final release of 2009. the a&r process at gigolo is a constant and very simple formula! if hell likes it, plays it and gets a good reaction from the crowd then it needs to come out on his record label! no other record fits the criteria more the >hasta el fin<. this is a record that featured heavily in hells festivals and club sets and was played at the end of every after-hour he found himself. but its beginning is a little less finite.
the genesis came late last year when oliver ton invited various musicians for a jamming session. in the spirit of some masterful moments in music oliver ton and production partner ronald christoph captured something unique sounding with a dance record built largely around a vocal, guitar and piano performance. it was immediately signed to berlin based white records and assigned the fitting cat. no. of white999!!!
hell, an early supporter of both the record and label was smitten, personally requesting the license for gigolo. once this was granted he approached tony lionni for a remix. for many djs, including hell, tony lionnis >found a place< is without doubt one of the biggest records of 2009. so combining the talents of these two artists would appear to be a no brainer, and the results speak volumes. taking the vocal hook, layering it over a tough piano stab and italo style disco rhythm is the order of the day. as we approach the end of another decade for gigolo and the first of new millennium we are proud to present our last number of the 2009!

marcus mumford built mumford and sons after his long standing position as laura marlings drummer / harmoniser began to earn him praise from all who saw them play live together. his battered and raspy voice soars with emotion over massive swells of country tinged orchestral pop. lovelorn lyrics filled with hope, anger, fear and every passionate extreme in between mean mumford and sons are sure to achieve a massive amount of praise for their debut album sigh no more, which demonstrates the strength in both song and sound. togetherness is fundamental to mumford and sons. its there in the tightness of the arrangements, and the four part harmonies - its pretty unusual to hear pitch perfect harmonies that are also meaty, masculine and downright loud. and its in the simple fact that mumford and sons get such a kick out of playing together.

finally a full ep by d marc cantu (1/2 of 2am/fm and under other aliases involved in collabos with traxx). technically its the follow up to his cult hit no control (creme jak 02, today a highly sought after 12inch) and in good h-h-h-house fashion this ep contains a ball busting jtc remix of this anthem. but the centre piece must be the title track one of the most emo-simplo jak trax weve ever heard here at the office. starting out simple enough with a single finger synth line (like the musings of a retarded secretary), it mutates into a big wailing distorted saxophone (or a mating whale, who knows?), this puppy will fill your room and throw everybody into an instant k-hole. hey, if that dont sound appealing check the soundclips for proof, its pure liberation... nay rebirth! more floor destroying crazyness on the flipside, but were all out of steam describing it. jak jak jak

mule musiq proudly announced the debut release of runaway on mule musiq! title track >caprice drive< is an early house sound,its simple but effective. >dirty cake< is a sweet slow mo boogie stuff

support by marco carola, troy pierce, paco osuna, ambivalent ...
alexi delano, with his second solo contribution to clink, the chilean-swedish-american eloquently brings back what keeps us addicted to minimal: simple, groovy percussive concepts layered under eerie, sexy melodies. gracing this ep are two ravishing, high profile remixes from paco osuna minus, plus 8 and pär grindvik drumcode, spectral. enjoy!

2nd e.p from basement soul aka greymatter via the kat label, which, in a similar vein to vol 1 hits hard bringing us 3 more edits with the sole intention of getting them feet firmly on the dancefloor and getting down proper. loads of support on this from horsemeatdisco, ashley beadle, domu etc.. chains is the teena marie beauty from 1980. ace funky disco with subtle (but very effective) cuts n beefed up drums. this edit rolls in at just over 7 mins and sounds all the mightier for it. newbans magic lady is a massive slab of afrocaribbean disco goodness pure n simple. horns…breakdowns…killa vocals and congas a plenty. girl watching is another funk-edged boogie big hitter. original by t-connection, greymatter takes the already massive original and takes things up a notch or two

after his recent release on clone a made up sound (aka 2562) presents his new platform for his own beat freakery. it is no news anymore that dave huismans is one talented guy! his debut 2562 album was one of last years highlights ... and his new album set for early winter 09 will be not create a smaller buzz! in the meanwhile mr huismans also managed to squeeze out some killer tracks out of his machines for his a made up sound project! these 2 tracks will get a limited run on his newly started label. >rework< started out as a sneaky bonus remix but ended up as a killer techno track in its own right, with stomping 4/4 beats, an irresistibly simple 3 note chord melody and gut-wrenching sub bass. contrasting is >closer< on the flip, where a yearning vocal stab spirals around a warm synth line that just keeps on building over signature punchy broken beats and a big b-line, all the way until its climaxing breakdown. highly recommended!

low-end blessed, heavyweight dub techno piece from the top drawer of a rather well known, but perhaps deliberately shy producer. hand stamped and individually sealed in a simple yet rather beautiful fashion, this is arresting steppers business, no doubt. the cut, performed with all the soul and depth you expect from dubplates & mastering, is super loud and as heavy as required for all man-sized playing out needs. observed through the vapour trails of the downbeat side to basic channel, the advanced sound system research of chain reaction and echospaces afterswell - consider this as something of a two-movement love letter to august berlin rhythm chambers - heavily aromatic, opiated but still trudging rhythm and grace - enveloping bass, heady atmosphere, excellent

nice price deal !!! played by the glitz, someone else, oliver klein, jenn, franco bianco, andy kohlmann, black vel, dj misk, dj wakko, half stereo, homebase, mandy jordan, markus kavka, paul hazendonk!
in his first 12 inch, emanuele porcinai offers 2 tracks that consists in pleasurable and sexy vocals within simple but smart grooves. a very important thing for him when making a track is to record an effective vocal, so these are ever an important part of the creation. le french brasserie remix of >helen< is an interpretation more powerful and housy, where the two eccentric producers can show their passion for vintage synths. tested on the dancefloor with a fantastic reaction of the public!

ricardo jefferson is a producer and dj based in manchester, england. the four tracks on this ep demonstrate a distinctive style. the roots of his sound are in funk, disco, space rock, prog rock, but he has melded them into a sound that is more than just the sum of these elements. this is funky, bass-heavy, trippy techno for the dance floor. a1 a brutal truth. this is a big tune that builds relentlessly. the track has an inclusive, celebrational, feel which simply invites everyone to lose it on the dance floor. 124bpm. a2 persons unknown. this tune doesn t have the relentless build of a brutal truth. instead, this is a tune to drop when everyone on the dancefloor is in the zone and locked into the groove. a finely crafted trip created with multiple delays skittering around the sound field, anchored by the funky bass heavy groove. 123 bpm. b1 the egg part one. a track employing a tight kick drum of differing weights to propel the groove, overlayed with a circular keyboard motif. on the off-beat, add the processed sound of someone hitting a metal sheet, and viola! - one aggressively funky dance floor bomb! 123 bpm. b2 god of the machine. this track has a simple 4x4 kick and handclap pattern pinning down a delicious oscillating bass line, under a classic descending four chord circular chord progression. off kilter ride cymbals give the track its backbone, and fluidity. ricocheting handclap delays add dimension. sly stone would be proud of this groove. now get on the dance floor and strut your stuff! 119 bpm. the cover shows a still image from the music video a brutal truth directed by ricardo jefferson and laura lee.

culoe de song is a new star from africa. his debut release on innervisions was a one of the best deep house record in this year. this second release is following his unique african touch deep house sound. a side, the fallen shiren is a emotional deep house with the sound of piano loop, african instruments and fantasy african chorus. this track is very modern and first class african taste house music. b side, inspiration is very simple but effective percussive house track. its a timeless dj tool.

lets give kitkaliitto a warm welcome! instantly impressed by these guys music we were – quite unique and not easy to classify. so this is their debut ep – coming straight from helsinki with love, three tracks and a remix. you can hear influences and samples from deep movie scores, downtempo, house, even big beat always escorted by some factor for self destruction. the remix of moravia by sevensol & bender shoves a rough house skeleton under tom pavlas fantastic trumpet – simple, raw and beautiful.

seth troxlers panic, stop. repeat! ep brings together all facets of the young berlin-via-detroit producers notoriously brilliant/bizarre persona, offering two new tracks (and one house-y remix) of sweaty, ecstatic dance music with a dirty mind and a heart of gold. >panic, stop. repeat!< uses its titular command as a guiding principle, eroding its own immaculate facade through a series of anxious freakouts. the track rolls along like a freight train with aloose screw-designed for precision and speed, but with mechanical parts that constantly jiggle free and whiz off into the stratosphere. as a leathery kick drum and a wickedly simple two-note bassline keep the pace, >panic, stop. repeat!< takes a series of surreal detours involving an ekg machine, a ladys feverish coos, and one particularly old-school sci-fi synth. next up, troxler melds minds with matthew dear on the collaborative >hurt<, a sexy beast of a track featuring bone-dry drum machines, a huge lead tom-tom, and dears terrifyingly deep spoken-word musings. paco osunas remix of >panic, stop. repeat!< rounds out the ep with an exhilarating take on troxlers original, building a subversive house creeper around panics heavy-breathing leading lady.

played by richie hawtin, loco dice, lauhaus, pheek, tim green and many more!
lessizmore continues with a striking fresh release from its new darker serie noire imprint. kane roth is working towards a mix of psycho-reactive minimal techno while tim xavier redefines kama sutra with playful bass lines.
kane s kama sutra is focused on a melodic audion-like gimmick. the track is remarkable by the use of typically pitched down vocals and massive kicks, it viciously hooks the listener.
yearning begins with strange and dark sounds but after three minutes holds the line with simple yet magnificent synth layers. in this track, kane is close to robag wruhme s delicate vision of techno music.
the remix of kama sutra constantly thumbs our nose at. tim xavier arrangements are mapped out with calculated intent, he pushes the track into a brilliant fun and never-ending roller coaster.

motorcitysoul are frankfurt veterans and deep house pioneers matthias vogt and christian rindermann (aka c-rock). vivid follows various successful releases (kazan and space katzle) on aus music, and their first debut studio album >technique< on simple. hailing from germanys own >motor city<, the pair have developed a reputation for creating soulful yet truely futuristic deep house that has a signature sound all of its own. >vivid< is trademark motorcitysoul û resonant evolving chord sequences, beautifully arranged organic percussion and >wild pitch< fx and loops combine to devastating effect. fellow frankfurter roman flugel gives the manheim house sound a damn good run for its money with a tight, loopy groove that locks you from the off. all kinds of detail and sound flourishes pop in once, never to be heard again, keeping the listener on their toesà.the package is completed with a percussion heavy dub that threatens to steal the show. roman flugel needs little introduction. one half of alter ego and one of the collective responsible for legendary labels playhouse and klang and not forgetting one of the finest clubs in the worldàrobert jonson
