after unleashing the celebrated bare fist edits on us, the mysterious monsieur gateaux is back with a stunning original production. much is being made of the cosmic revival, and sure enough this does tick all the mid tempo, blissed out balearic boxes, but theres much more to love about dune, with its spacious ways and early 80s european electronic, dubbed out psychedelic vibe, shot through with a little eastern promise. its little wonder its been receiving major props from the bearded elders of sit down djing, off the back of a handful of early copies surfacing in the uk. as if that wasnt enough, the (not so) mysterious phoreski taken over the remix duties here!!!

nice price deal !!! having left a permanent mark with both his bands, husker d and sugar, and with a half dozen, uncompromising solo albums released during and after these bands lived, bob has long been regarded as a name at the forefront of american music. not one for sentiment, bob prefers to ignore his legacy and cult status, going straight to what he does best - namely that of making hairraisingly emotional, undeniably catchy, loud, mature, guitar rock. district line - instantly sounds both familiar and classic.

avocado # 1 was the secrect weapon in dc 10 last summer! big with: ame, matthias tanzmann, tanja volcano, steve bug,…!! #2 comes even stronger ! a: peter pan: following up from the immense track >elephant<, >peter pan< does not betray rune and sydenhams tough deep tech sensibilities. grinding along, this track blurs the boundaries between tech- house and techno. b: snow bored: >snow bored< is a deep and sophisticated piece of tech effervescence clearly demonstrating the serious approach sydenham and rune take in their search of new techno pastures.

supported by 2000 and one, anja schneider, jesse rose, loco dice, shlomi aber, trickski, tobi neumann, to name a few.. once again theres a real nod to the old school here in a track inspired by arthur russell. rich, warm analogue pads and subtle fx flashes from the space echo build an enchanting groove. the intensity gradually develops with sounds slowly evolving, lending a deep hypnotic feeling to proceedings, until the chord progression opens out and you cant help but smile. a genuine end of night anthem and when dixon does his own edit you know your onto something special... version: double for your money, with an extra version of the original that doesnt open out into the full stabs and maintains a deeper groove. martin landsky remix: with a tight, tribal tom pattern and straight ahead groove martin landsky achieves a darker more spaced out feeling with his remix. he pushes the pads to a dubbed out climax without fully opening out the progression and this fully hits the spot. martin landsky has been making waves as a dj and producer since the mid-nineties and is one of the key producers at steve bugs excellent poker flat recordings and running his own intim records.. hes compiled many mix cds for labels such as poker flat, systematic and the partysan compilation series. his debut album was >in between< for pokerflat and since then hes remixed the great & good as well as producing several stunning releases and jetting about with his box of records

this is an amazing piece of funked up, forward thinking techno that will appeal to both the house jocks as the techno heads. dejan is probably best known from his appearances on adult and orion (danilo vigoritos label!). he sticks to what he does best and pushes the envelope and he has your imagination go wild!

nice price deal !!! the serbian tag-team strikes again and smack you in the ropes with another cutting edge piece of futuristic technology. the sub label of recon warriors has a more open minded character, and features productions which move beyond what we are used to. bass settings with just a little more sub than your system can take... melodic fragments that will take you to a creepy state of trance and kicks that keep you awake for a long, long time, yet make you warm and comfortable like a fireplace does a cabin in the midst of a fierce winter!

electro monster treated by john dahlback. brand new electro-house label u-boot kicks off in fine style! fat bass lines & a massive break will do the trick for sure. on the remix side, mister john dahlback does it again

incl daso remix !! supported by tiga, gregor tresher, jim rives, pelle buys, hernan cattaneo, pako & frederik. luciano pizzella, a 1974 born neapolitan biologist and producer, is one of those newcomers in 2007 that have drawed the attention of sven väth, tiefschwarz, kiki, moguai and many others with his releases on italic and broque. for dogtown he delivers a first class melodic electro-house gem with a profound bassline underneath that we simply couldnt resist. and to top things off, we asked daso (spectral, my best friend, connaisseur) to do a remix on the b-side. as expected, he does the job in style with one of his darkest and most exellent remixes to date. highly recommended to fans of dubfire, josh wink and alike! enjoy!!

one of the stand out tracks from osunlades excellent artist album elelments beyond from early 2007 hits the shelves with a plethora of remixes from dj gregory, deetron and manoo stella. dj gregory does what he does best, building and layering tribal rhythms with techy beats with a touch of off key xylophone action thrown in for good measure. the manoo stella mix starts deep before big pads and synths take it in a near progressive direction, while deetron strips things right back and does away with most of the vocal for a pounding house rhythm perfect for the late night clubs. a great track made better by a set of slick remixes makes this a promising start to 2008 for strictly rhythm and osunlade.

in the beginning the was a dream, a dream to become part of the living womb of good music. a dream of being real, true to myself and i set this dream to fly high. days and years passed by and i didn t seem to find response but one day in the arkest hour came the light and then i knew i had to hustle it s a song about my determination to express myself widely whitin the realm of good music, won t be selling my soul, won t be taking the easy path, its all about what is real, training harder and harding until i get what i want: the pure sound of goodness for the dancefloor, for my life and the whole world. that s how i hustle. abicah soul confuzed well this track started as another track but i took the sounds from anohter track put with this that how i came up with the idea confused .i started listening sounded good i stuck with it.onw word deep stephen rigmaiden jeepin basically jeepin was done and i was listening to acapella s for like 2 weeks trying to find the right vocal snippets. my thoughts were how was i going to get franck s interest? i knew the track was done but for him to pick it up it needed a vocal. then i came across the perfect vox. i used a montage of a few different vocals, some hip hop elements, some jazz elements, some gospel elements, ill leave up to you to decipher. i knew i wanted a raw, kinda hip hop type of feelingas well, something you can get on the dance floor and go uggh!, that s my shit!! or damn i gotta get in that circle and show em whats up! i made it for the dancers out there, b- boys, house dancers , or jus ya regular club kids. trying to get the crowd hype is always my intentions , i feel this track does jus that. now get on the dance floor and recognize the sound!

earlier this year, todd sines inaugurated yore with the slamming techno-funk of the .xtrak release back_up ep and now returns for round two with dont stop. without losing the stripped-down, minimal tech-house funk essence of the .xtrak sound, sines ups the acid-house ante considerably in the new material. the old-school title cut makes an immediately vivid impression by repeating the insistent vocal hook >dont stop<-both command and mantra-over a towering backbeat. >cut to the chase< does exactly that with funky handclaps and syncopated swing, while the b-sides low-riding >unreflect< pairs dropouts and bass-crawling boogie. slightly different in character, the squiggly acid-techno track >quantum mechanics< is as precision-tooled as its title suggests. despite the subtle shift in stylistic emphasis, dont stop offers a splendid complement to the earlier release

incl remixes by joakim and speakerine. a space hymn with martians on juno synths, jupitarians at the mixing desk and our cosmic prophet sebastien tellier on vocals. it comes with a remix by our new french discovery, speakerine, a very young kid from the deepest country side in the south of france, with a true love for the dark side, mr oizo and el-p. on the flip side, our man joakim remixes the title track and does what he does best, forward thinking dance music.

kitsune season compilation returns, the fifth of its kind and still homemade and gold wrapped. on board this time there are young girls, sea dogs, californian twins, young wolves and loonies. a wonderful mess, a spontaneous shamble that screams out loud. all of this because of gold rush fever.

dimi angélis & jeroen search. both artists are among the few internationally acclaimed techno artists from the netherlands. their dj activity and production work reaches back into the early nineties. >the new frontier< melds the firmness and determination of old school techno with a contemporary subtlety. it is amazing how few elements jereon search and dimi angélis need to create a dense and compelling athmosphere. >lunar< is the kind of track that slips perfectly in a wide range of club sets. while it offers the dj a vast span of possible connections to other music, its hypnotic melody does not leave your head for hours. >jupiter< is bolder, it is centered around a demanding groove. while the melodies operate in the background of the track, the complex net of rhythmic patterns shifts indistinguishably. it is the type of music which holds you in a tight grip - and you are not even able to tell what exactly is so striking about it. its implicitness makes >the new frontier< such a special record. it belongs to the rare breed of music which does not demand to go into your box - and this is exactly why it is made to stay there for quite some time

following the mindblowing truesoul release by par grindvik comes this new 2 tracker by swedish artists nihad tule and lasseman and does not disappoint. in typical truesoul fashion there is a melodic influence with the a side - locomotion having a very clever building, driving groove that utilises some clever synth work and pitch bending pads to great effect. dj plays from - richie hawtin, paco osuna, adam beyer, perc, dubfire, christian smith, charles siegling, agaric, joel mull…

rmx by terry lee brown jr. !!q: what does the afterglow of this summer sound like? a: >its about love<, from silicon funk. it all began with a prerelease at radio stations >ibiza global radio<, >sonica fm< & >radio monte carlo 2<. even >ministry of sound< jumped aboard and took the terry lee brown jr. remix for their 2007 >la nuit 2< compilation. all the tracks on this record, arranged with the soulful and powerful vocals of jimmie wilson, will be a must-have for most djs. the real highlight is the terry lee brown jr. version (a1), remixing the original (a2) in a reduced and more uplifting form into a real dance floor experience.

nice price deal !!! uplifting vocal house at its very best! funk manouver debuts on reelgroove with this catchy infectious uplifting house joint. amaya amaya provides an amazing vocal performance with a hook that is guarenteed to stick in your head! the vocal is a full on hands in the air anthem and has recieved licensing to housexy on mos, along with daytime radio play on kiss 100 and galaxy to name but a few radio stations. stereofunk remix takes things slightly more into cultured clubrooms but still maintains the uplifting feel of the original. roed delivers a sexy re work for the headz out there with a smooth seductive style to his remix. colin sales deep dub does exactly as it says! support accross the package has been from grant nelson, oliver lang, andy ward, trophy twins and christian hornbostel to name but a few

motorcitysoul, tom clark and patrice bäumel ( trapez ) and nuno dos santos ( compost black ) remixes. following last months release of the new dirt crew album >raw< we present you a great remix package with some fine interpretations of original dirt crew album tracks by some of todays hottest remixers.

with musical credentials that most producers would kill for, the organic breakbeat mastermind that is ils really does not need an introduction! with early 12 releases on groundbreaking labels such as good looking records and mo wax, ils had his foot firmly lodged in the musical door from the off.

three extremly funk bombs !! first up is the mooqee & russ cuban edit - tweaking the best bits of the original, dropping a bit more vocal and generally adding some of that bombstrikes magic, this has been killing wherever it gets played. over on the flip is the kw griff original, which with a higher tempo and raw feel also does what its supposed to. also on the b side is the track footstompin, a catchy as hell 50s vocal with a relentless rhythm

one of the stand out tracks from hardsouls forthcoming d fused & digital compilation, self religion (believe in me) further demonstrates the dutch duos talents extend well beyond the dj booth and threatens to be as big as the rest of their back catalogue. mark knights mix takes the package techy and delivers a mix thats bound to get abused in those late night sets. mr penn does the business with his trademark keys, ripping it apart with that classic house sound we ve come to know and love. this is a battle weapon thats not to be missed!

with tuomas salmela aka phonogenic, we welcome one of the most established finnish techno and house producers, with releases on 2020 vision, poker flat, moodmusic or f-com-munications. salmelas sound has something dark, reminding of the long finnish winters and cold nights. he does not feast in old times or posts the question of oldskool or newskool, but simply has produced something really new, without getting lost in clicks n cuts or doing too much sound research. phonogenic uses sentimental harmonies and stringent direct beats, that dont need complex building arrangements, but come to the point rather quickly and make clear where the journey will take us. similarly to guy gerber, phonogenics productions also are somewhere in between techno and houseand even use elements of trance. however, salmelas productions always make the impression of being well planned and moody

new bell is a stone cold classic piece of afrobeat that only appeared on 12 inch on an extremely rare dutch pressing and is a big play for everyone from masters at work (who made a pretty nice remix a while back) to gilles peterson. quite simply if you have any interest at all in african dance music you need this record. the flipside cut yoyo was only on a very rare french 7inch to our knowledge, this lesser known piece of afro disco really does get the party shaking its collective rump and sounds super fat on 12 inch for the first time

old school wkkc hot mixer comes correct with some classic chicago vocal house. ron trent does the honors on the hi fi mix with lush synths, analogue drums, & plenty of trailing echoes.

lee van dowski, the mastermind of the incredible label num records and also known from his releases on cadenza, soma, num, 60 sec and many others hooks up with the young rising newcomer dachshund which is also already known from his releases on num, num ltd and 60 sec. the two swiss heroes deliver us two impressive cuts which will send us on a creamy road here. it not needs any more description, does it?

this man does not need any introduction. with global chart hits and a smashing full tour he still manages to create big tunes. my house is the newest one! on the remix mischa daniels!

producer holger behn aka h.o.s.h. is back on stil vor talent with his third release and second 12 inch on oliver koletzkis imprint. his latest two tracks are all about house music, while always keeping a strict eye on the dancefloor. it starts with the tech-house anthem >grünanlage<, the name of a sunday afternoon open air in h.o.s.h.s hometown hamburg that he co-organises. the tune features a great clappy snare and some wonderful balearic guitar melodies, which swing over the fast loop. this tune is going to put a smile on your face wherever you are. on the flip there is >blaupause<, which translates as blueprint and is a dreamy housy pusher that keeps grooving with its synthie-stabs and warm bassline. later in the track h.o.s.h. adds an oldschool piano that pushes the track into another state with its drifting melody. it reminds us of so very many great rave moments. however, h.o.s.h. never gives in to the temptation of drifting off into cheese, stays cool at any given moment and keeps the seal of quality for his music very high. >blaupause< is a wonderful summery teaser that never explodes, but keeps imploding! h.o.s.h. once again does what he does best: delivering two wonderfully melodic tracks that fluctuate perfectly between house and techno. just the way we like it

the spanish flagship of techno music returns! oscar mulero is at the controls of this amazing label which has treated the true techno crusader so well during all the years it has been around. nothing but the best quality of underground dance is what mulero serves up and he does not go for anything less. the new gem is from the hands of the master himself and presents two colossal remixes by artist who need no introduction. both fanon flowers and regis give the original their trademark twist. results are a weapon of technology which is armed and ready to fire at will!

seamless twelves does it again! set to drop yet another irresistibly infectious summer epic, supaflava blends slinky keys with a bumpin bassline, while the sweeping strings add the sweetener to the mix. sophie cairo adds the vocal touch with a performance set to not only blow you away, but have you singing along with your arms in the air! andro adds his trademark electro sound to the track while still maintaining the organic feel of the original, combining the familiar strings and keys with a fresh bassline so funky that it becomes an extremely potent lead line for the dub. by the time vincent kwok has his wicked way with the track, he adds a further twist, creating a bass driven dub that bumps its way underneath the floating vocals with some serious groove.

as hard as it might be to believe, there was a time when the word trance did not mean dutch guys dressed in white wearing oakleys.. it also didn t mean israeli pre-military dragon-stick wielding reefer addicts.. actually, there was a glorious era where trance was a verb rather than a noun.. im talking about when you got in a trance, at lets say for example: the golden eagle in munich in 81, in a white-tiled sauna-motif discotec, grooving to a 17 minute reel-to reel version of knights in white satin on your 2nd bottle of poppers while some guy named >wolfie< takes his modern ballet skills to the >next level<. if that sounds appealing.. and i know it does.. then allow me to introduce you to compuphonic and kolombo.. a throwback to the days of romance-trance of the highest order. deep, sensual (yes, i used the word sensual) electronic grooves so potent that we were forced by a coalition of competitors labels to only release some of them digitally to restrict their awesome power to trip people out. these tracks make other tracks seem like mindless shallow shit. that includes some of turbos other releases.

the buzz of the forthcoming cannibal album which carries the suiting name hannibal, is getting stronger and stronger. in the meantime cannibal society has a few 12inch tricks up its sleeve, anthropophagus might not sound familiar, but the man behind it most definitely does!

adam kroll presents the fifth outing on the notorious squonk imprint. drac is based on strong static percussions, hypontic synth pads, blaring timbalis and a grounding rhythm which does not stop to evolve. while bucca is a rhythmically dynamic track, consists of funky drums, twisted solos & pounding grooves.

dave spoon does it again. another massive electrohouse club banger, based on his megahit at night flavoured with sexy female vocals. includes moto blanco and funagenda mixes

who needs an obtrusively acting kickdrum, when the decent wobbling bassline of breezin does the job just as good. right nobody. or, at least peter grummich (shitkatapult/ spectral/kompakt) doesnt, whose proverbial deepness constantly gets the floors into rapturous body rolling. thus it was just a question of time to welcome this man to karloff, the label for everything thats different. here, all medium dated orientation to felt (rather than experienced) standards is gladly left to other persons of great hope, whilst enjoying the border crossing between dorky monkeyshine and serious spirit of adventure. consequently, quick thinking misbehaviour is also the attitude of the (for formal reasons called) b side, where the horizon gets canvassed for both weird and life affirming sounds, in grasp of the groove. summarizing dance music to breathe deeply.

quentin harris does it again, this time with the wonderful jill scott. >hate on me< is a gospel style vocal layered over a dope backing track that really hooks you in, tuned down congas, a stomping beat and a sick minimal bassline, basically this will kill it peak time in the club, women will love you for playing this record. over on b the vocals get majoritively removed on the >shelter dub< which does what it says on the tin

public service message: from the pale horizon of the calm world, here emerges critical tension. product of his society, henry the white collar goes through a crisis. today henry is nervous, negotiating the heave and shove between fear and his uncontrolable urges, and this is his music when he does. we, the producers, are his fantasy. does it hurt or is it good? can you make him relieve his debt? after two releases on sound of barclay, and a hit (sink) on yvan smagghes compilation (suck my deck) released on react, and the famous cover of lios amoureux solitaires featuring jennifer cardini on kill the dj, henry is back with a dodgy 10 inch no punk, no electro - this is wobble

nu- trance melodies, micro loops of techno and the more sutil funk. butterfly kiss is even more behaved shamelessly and onírico. as dangerous as effective . the remixes completes the eclecticism of the maxi. yes maurice aymard is the dj, his fans dance in the studio. in shuberry it takes advantage of the hypnosis of the track and it reconstructs for the delight, more acid and dark, playing with the climax. in side b, alejandro vivanco, that it already woke up luciano (cadenza) including a tracks of his in his sci.fi.hi.fi. mix for soma, proposes a vision more experimental for the vinil. rythmical, textures, effects…. the risk is paradojica, there are no lines because he does t need them. the projection of his talent scares us , more closer than far away. you judge

following the dont wake up record and for the second 12-inch release on we are we give you three tracks by various artists. label-founder agaric gets down to some dirty funky-as-can-be beats while la-berlin word-flexer big bully does vocals, and lastly brooklyns tim xavier of ltd400 and clink hands us a clean and crispy minimal track

these strings will take every dancefloor by storm jerry ropero does it again includes massive john dahlbaeck remix

the fresh newcomer does it again! outstanding minimal / not minimal techno on quagmires second o dchimera ep, ion ludwig goes back to the future. influenced by the rhodes piano and jazz ensembles from the 50 he delivers an ep which has a highly instrumental background. music to listen while drinking a scotch and smoking a cuban. centerfold connects you to the world of dreams. hypnotizing repetitive rhodes are characterizing and building house grooves characterizing this track. step by step you start to understand what this music does to you. forward to the history. white exterior is modern and classic jazzmusic for the mind and feet

rmxs by etienne de crecy & proxy – essential 12inch !! …new single called tenderoni......i love the song. makes me dance. killer bassline, serious groove. groove. funk. groove. yeah! its my second fave on the album. mixed by zdar. its a funk bomb. theres that word again. we needed remixes and we spent so much time on it....oh man, its soooo annoying! why isnt there just a machine you can drop the track into and it comes out with remixes.i should list all the people that almost did remixes..... we got proxy to remix it, cuz hes russian and on turbo, and hes the future,and it was a great way to hype him up and save some cash.....but that does not mean that the mix is a compromise... in fact it is my favorite remix in ages....total rave-pop-bomb. i love it so much.... but maybe it could have been louder. i also think this is proxys first ever remix....a piece of legitimate musical history can be yours for under 10euros

if youre fed up of looking out your window onto grey dreary weather and desperately need some sunshine in your life then you are in luck. chris lakes new track >carry me away< does just that... described as being >reminiscent of a hot summers day dancing on the beach< this track is tipped for huge success. featuring the sultry voice of emma hewitt, an uplifting piece of blissed out electronica, you cannot help but fall in love with emmas beautiful vocals over a hooky piano riff that is chris trademark. complimenting the original, there is the sébastien léger remix which tears apart chris mix that gives you a deep, dark, electro-twisted journey, still keeping the vocal with a soaring orchestral break that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end

keep your head up as you walk through the city and just chill. does he look worried to you? he’s not, glowtronics has his back...(blue glow-in-the-dark) high qulity print

alejandro mosso, aka funzion, was born in mendoza, argentina in 1983. a student of guitar and music theory since he was 14, he started his solo minimal house/techno project >funzion< in 2003. his aim is to combine the production techniques of idm and clicks and cuts with the rhythmicalbforms of techno and microhouse. the result thus far has been a tricky, warm and energetic sound that has caught the attention of highly regarded labels such as telegraph, sushitech, and now alphahouse. funzions >stelle< ep consists of two warm, intricate, and percussive club stompers that showcase his grasp on complex rhythms and playful melodies. >random kisses< is a moody vocal excursion into the mountains of your imagination. a meandering track that suits open air parties as well as it does big dark discos, this is a spring season hit. >random love< starts out as a charming shuffley ballad, only to subtly morph into a looming synth rave monster, all the while keeping its playful and hypnotizing grip on the dancefloor. bomb alert!

loco dice undertakes the remixing of the ibadan classic son of raw in the first of a series of remixes of ferrer works originally out on ibadan. with some of the most soulful and original techno productions on the market, he does not disappoint. an epic ten minute slice of modern house music that falls, like the original, somewhere between genres, loco dice creates a tunnel of atmosphere combining key elements for the original and adding fly life type efx that build throughout.

incl. pig & dan rmx!! a big epic masterpiece for the open-airs ! with frank müller aka beroshima, we welcome one of germanys senior techno house producers, who is combining the best from both house and techno already since 1994 - long before the implementation of the term >tech-house<. whereas frank müller just like guy gerber was never caught between two stools but rather has the rare talent to reach both house and techno fans with his productions. and so he does again with his cocoon debut >horizon<, an hommage which reminds of the grand ol times of r&s, with xxl suspense, driving beats and hypnotic sounds and melodies
