fresh beats delivered directly from the caribbean by venezuelan producer trujillo on his latest appearance on the spanish-venezuelan label apersonal music. trujillos ability to make you feel caught up in an eternal summer vibe gets clearer and stronger with every track he releases. on this release main single >fruit punch< is simplicity at its best, squeezing the most out of basic classic-house elements. it builds up slowly until the original guitar tunes in, thats when you take a sip of your fruit punch (or whatever sweet drink comes handy) and enjoy the sea breeze in your face (whether its there or not..). for the extra flavor on your drink they pour an edit-format track >looking up through you<. lots of original ingredients here enough to make this edit an own piece of music... venezuelan keyboard player mister casanova on board plus trujillo mixing it all up in his best poolside bar style. fresh juicy punched stuff here! on the remix department 2 remix versions from uk based producer toby tobias plus a classy fashioned remix from canadian eddie c. tobias is a hard working man, and when you ask him for one he hits you twice, hard to pick one remix although one had to be selected for digital only release (size matters some time!). what can we say about eddie c.. apersonal had already made a statement that they love classic grooves, and it cant get classier than eddies beats on his remix! this groove is what house music is all about, and it will always be.

2010 has been a massive year for jozif, emerging as one of the most talked about artists in house music. the follow-on from the first sell-out edition, “beats in space”, “brick jane” goes further to cement his place as one of the vanguard of the london music scene, and propel fist or finger to the status of a buy-on-sight label. jozif’s title track – the dancefloor focused ‘fist’ of the package – goes in deep, the momentum continuously building as the track twists and turns through a landscape of deep slabs of bass assured deployment of subtle guitar plucks and piano chords, and dreamy xylophones. finally releasing into an epic crescendo, jozif only allows the moment to last just long enough, before all the elements are stripped right back as the journey starts all over again. brick jane draws out a journey, continuing to morph and subtly affix new elements throughout its 7 minutes. the arrangement is simple yet the progression is deft, subtle and effective, creating a vibe that can be employed at any given time of the night, offering a truly different context. craig’s ‘finger’ re-interpretation picks up the thread where his “beats in space” remix left off. crackling static laced with woozy atmospheres and paranoid utterings flip the vibe of the original completely on its head. richards displays a completely unique ability to stretch the original track far beyond its character into a completely different dimension, building a warped soundscape that feels as though it was recorded in a chasm deep deep underground. a mind-bending journey from a truly multi talented artist, in the truest sense of the word

a1 fur elodie is a cheapy guitar tune combined with the piano to form acoustic sound. other elements are also quite cheapy but sounds very good altogether as a confortable track. a very atmospheric tune to hypnotize people into fumiyas deeper side. the original version is on his album unknown 3 released in 2008. b1 ring bell is a track combined an acoustic loopy drum with a modular bass sound to form a kind of rare groove. a kind of chant starts coming in out at certain points to take you somewhere you have never been before. b2 dealer trick (short version) has got a kind of old school flavour and sounds quite like 90s house with fumiyas dirty, cheeky, and loopy groove. a trick for jack in the box

specialist interest is back!! with a huge release from mr. pete herbert, a tremendous release to inject a new lease of life into the label. a1: well heeled - melodic bass line with snyth stabs and arpeggio, a very big room sound. the track builds with a great groove and very spacey sounds. killer track!! a2: earthy powers - popping synth line really makes this track! gentle bass adds to the groove and widens the sound with a funky guitar riff adding an organic feel. vocal is a brilliant addition.

twisted tongue follow up their acclaimed debut album with the first single from their follow-up lp, >a return to space<. eschewing the p-funk stylings of their self-titled debut, twisted tongue (dave jay & mark dalton) provide an essential revival of the mid-tempo soul stepper, featuring guest vocalist johanna lee sweetly leading a tough, incessant groove that recalls the classic likes of nick martinelli and the mizell brothers. twisting the track even further are the remixes provided by dj ray mang (dfa, mangled), one of the founders of londons nu-disco scene, who has long taken inspiration from new yorks golden era of the loft and paradise garage. twisted tongue writer/producer dave jay joined forces with ray for his >mang vs. mondo< ep on mangled earlier this year, and here mang returns the favour by dubbing out and extending >a return to space< to mind-bending effect. on the flipside is the cinematic, downtempo remix by blue states, which subtly subverts the original, transforming the track into a late night indie excursion. andy dragazis (blue states) has now been delivering his unique brand of melancholy, guitar-led head music for over decade, via labels such as xl recordings, and this mix of >a return to space< ranks up there with his most memorable work

after an incredible whirlwind of a year lee foss returns to the culprit fore with >your turn girl<. foss is the labels most consistent and prolific artist with this ep being his fourth release, solo or as part of hot natured. it is safe to say, lee has become one of the pillars around which culprit is being built. the >your turn girl ep< carries foss signature hallmarks: melodic funk-infused basslines, vocal hooks that grab you from the off and a smooth electronic edge. lees incredibly emotive sound makes him stand out even in the current glut of soulful dance music washing over the global scene. your turn girl – the title track is an epitome of foss >ominous funk< style, playful yet with a distinctly sultry edge. yet another memorable r n b female vocal bit sits on top of some of lees own best synth work. and driven by a killer analogue bassline. >pyramid scheme< –bristles with the disco-inspired propulsive energy. an acid-flecked low end, that comes to the fore mid-way through, a swirling guitar sample, the crisply sharp drums add up to the releases, perhaps, most hands-in-the air moment. >cabin party< continues the themes lee explored with his mega successful hot creations ep. foss eschews the standard house beat yet again, opting for his most organic drums yet, stunningly conceived textures and melodies, with another pair of vocal hooks to die for. finally >warriors< has been a staple of many a culprit dj set for the best part of 2010. lees trademark combination of a terrific electronic bassline, and an unabashedly emotional sample work make for a deep house stand-out tinged with a sense of nostalgia.

taken from the moodmusic new mix cd, retake one! three of the mixs exclusive tracks— axel bomans >cinquenta< , citycobras >fresh simple<, and dave dk s own >will be gone<— are now due for a 12inch release. dave starts with >will be gone< – a deep yet driving groover in finest dk style. taking a step forward from his latest work, he incorporates pick guitar and classy jazz samples into a uplifting and finely crafted come back. citycobra, one half of smash tv, debuts with >fresh simple< on moodmusic. a deep slice of pad infused house with a highly teasing arrangment building a modern take on burrell bros. last but not least, man of the moment, axel boman delivers some fine dub infused moments on >cinquenta<, a modulating roller, taking you on a trip from the first moment on and keeping you nailed

is it balearic follow up the monumental >panorama suite< from max essa with an allstar remixed package from portugals acclaimed s.d.c peaceful warrior is a laid back house groove in the style of don carlos >mediterranea/alone< this has winter sunshine dripping all over mellow flutes and synths and a jazzy funky guitar lick before dropping a little acid - beautifully constructed nu-med house. on the remix basles up and coming nu-disco upstarts pharoah black magic transform this into a eurodisco style dancefloor bomb along the lines of aeroplane and tensnake. soft rocks ft lovefingers jesus convention remix create of krautesque acid balearic chugger of immense proportions -very special. finally las finest alchemists pacific horizons weave their magic and produce an epic version with new bass and piano whilst accentuating the acid line. atmosphere galore and an all round top package!!

canadas eddie c (jisco music, endless flight, sleazy beats, karat) with 4 new tracks for the sound of speed label! the 12inch starts with the disco track >migration< that has a solid mid tempo groove going with a break from a soul record. >keepin on< is on a mellow soul tip and reminds of dillas >donuts<. >give it to me< has an upbeat, guitar led groove with stompin drums and seductive soulful vox. >days like these< has organic chilled-out sounds going

track 5, a previously unreleased single meant for >the days of mars< album, but ultimately deemed out of place on the record, begins with the slow reveal of a repeating electronic ring atop a rising, falling, sine-curving synth. with each additional layer—a piercing, urgent synthesizer, a deep, continuous, ever-expanding rumble, the sound of a guitar, awash in reverb—the atmosphere thickens. its both restless and placid, anxious and tranquil. just over ten minutes in length, the track closes with a chorus of high-pitched synths that fade to a sparse, darkened end. this 12-inch, very likely gonzalez and russoms last, also features a remix from Âme, comprised of germanys kristian beyer and frank wiedemann. the house duo wholly transforms the a-side into a track so unrecognizable it seems brand new, taking it far from the introspective dreamworld to a dance party in the sweaty, blissed-out, wee hours of the morning

recently supporting the aforementioned marina & the diamonds, spark brings a healthy dose of pop to the indie scene, with her dancefloor cuts sparkling in a world full of dour, face to the floor guitar bands. her songs touch base with everyone thats made great pop in recent years - we are hearing splashes of la roux and the ting tings, and all powered along with some wonderful production that chooses subtlety over in-yer-face plug-in hell, unlike most shitty chart toss of the moment. this is a very special single from a big tip for 2011!

nice price deal !!! after more than one year slash co-owner ahmet sisman is back with his brand new solo ep! the playing with acid ep is an unapologetic combination of raw-deep techno and electro-pop influenced house music. and as we know it already from mr. sisman, he loves to combine different genres and create his own distinctive flavor! the a-side playing with acid is a pure synthie-baseline dominated track whose melody is drilling through your head that you won’t forget it so easily. this trapping hook line is coming along with some poppy vocals which are giving you a slight association how is it feeling being totally vaporized in the mind. we say, be careful when you playing with acid!!! feel today think tomorrow has a different approach while the ingredients remain the same. it’s the more melancholic side of this record but also filled with pure energy. the guitar phrases creating those feelings between the struggle and harmony in life, and like the title indicates: live today, pay tomorrow! no return no regret is the more poppy side of this record. the b2-side is a mixture of modern elements bonded with the refreshing vibe of the contemporary 80s influence. this fusion is a naive approach of pooling different styles in one track with the intention to create something timeless. even its poppy elements doesn’t seem to allow it we going to love it for a long time and we hope you will feel the same! this three-tracker ep contains the well known “mr. sisman-ingredients”. although the difference to his previous productions laying in its details. find it out for yourself and above all: enjoy it!!!

12inch full of music with a definite sense of place. eerie synthesiser pulses, funk-infused drums and languid guitar-scapes have been part of the musical topology of düsseldorf since the early seventies: and this particular release pays full tribute to that legacy, with jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag) comprising an eerie piece of swampy lazer-forest rock. this sound is also a modern day staple of düsseldorfs nightlife at the salon des amateurs, a small bar attached to the kunsthalle art gallery that is an oasis of hypnotic disco nightmares. the salon is where der räuber und der prinz made their first live appearance in 2008 (when the original composition for moogwalzer was debuted), and both members of the band frequently play there: ralf beck with his bodyrocking club act unit 4 and sebastian as half of art-rock duo noblesse oblige. meanwhile two of the guests on this release - detlef weinrich also known as toulouse lowtrax, contributing words about a ghostly maiden on moogwalzer, and thomas klein contributing drums to jagd auf den hirsch - are both original members of the quintessential düsseldorf act kreidler. salon dj resident vladimir ivkovic also had a hand in the creative clarion call for the jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag). to complete the circle, düsseldorfs new resident and desolat mainstay guti wrote his remix in the middle of the night in buenos aires, as a kind of letter to his new home-to-be. there we have it: a true tribute to a city we love, with tracks for the dancefloor as well as moments of melancholic contemplation.

satyr - roadrunner liebedetail welcomes new artist satyr, who will remain anonymous for the time being, yet we assure you he is a figure embedded deep with the scene, producing and djing worldwide for the last 8 years. this new creative angle does as his teasing artist bio promises, stay true to his acid house roots, and roadrunner is a fittingly excitable, frenetic synthesiser trip that rises and climbs with great intensity and clarity of sound. wareika - rumba swing the trio of wareika return with rumba swing, their second outing on the label. perfectly jazz infected, with of course a healthy measure of that rhumba timing, this lazy, psychedelic journey track meanders through lush fields of guitar improvisations, tumbling drums, piano refrains and eerie pitching elements, all neatly strung together with wareikas impeccable production.

fifth release on the acclaimed imprint from those lovely people over at the acclaimed sleazybeats blog. the dust just doesnt seem to settle at team sleazy who are set to unleash their fifth dish of mid-tempo filth. sbr005 should likely round out what has undoubtedly been more than a successful year for the sleazy beats crew. as hard as it might seem to upstage their recent sampler, this release by berliner daniel solar (of no more hits and dikso fame) is another trio of totally on point sleazy business which showcases daniels stellar skills. things start off with midfidelity funk, a snappy romp through steady synth and disco string territory. this little number delivers a perfectly spell-binding groove with nicely placed rhodes stabs, crisp tambourines and haunting vocal at the breaks. on the flip, twinkle love snaps out a sweet melange of piano, guitar/bass riff and morphing vocals that combine to give a lively mood and open atmospherics. finally, rounding up the ep is la fleur, a wonky yet punchy cut thats ripe with staunch drum sounds and strings amidst loopy vocal snippets for good measure. all three tracks ride a 110ish bpm groove that is likely to ring bells for those who have been following and digging the sleazy sound so far. the last few releases all sold out in a matter of weeks, so dont sleep on this. you know the drill by now: limited release, no repress.

denmarks most forward thinking export trentemøller announces a new single on his own -in my room- label, twisting 60s psychedelia into a modern electronic-punk beatdown, complete with remixes from none other than andrew weatherall, lulu rouge and trentemøller himself. packed with overdriven synth and guitar textures, live/processed drums and a pacy, apocalyptic vibe, the original version of the remarkable -silver surfer, ghost rider go!!!- taken from the new album ,-into the great wide yonder- is perhaps anders trentemøllers ode to some of the many other spectrums of electronic music and noise that he loves

scott ferguson returns with a new vinyl ep!! great release for fans of deep detroit house

two more missives from the leng stable, a stable basking in late afternoon sunshine the whole year round. here we have two remixes of cantoma tracks. on side a is ray mangs remix of under the stars a subtle disco groove, with a sweet rolling bass and a languid horn line that gently eases into the back of your mind, luring you into a hypnotic swirl. over on side-b lexx steps up to deliver an equally stunning take on gambara immdediately setting out a more electronic lilt, the track steadily builds into a mid tempo throb as the vocals wash over proceedings, while flute and acoustic guitar make way for each other in the melody stakes. timeless sounds on both sides evoking the summer just passed

hot on the heels of the recent greg wilson/ray mang edits paper recordings have enlisted the remixes talents of two further hot acts in the form of faze action and brennan green.
first up we have faze actions re-edit of >drop your weapon<, a rolling and bouncing slice of funk laden modern disco that uses the distinctive guitar licks from the original and drops layers of bass, pads and drums to create an instant anthem!
on the flip we have the superb brennan green who takes >3 play it cool< and develops it into a loopy and percussive deep house masterclass, using subtle melodies and taut yet organic sounding drums. this is perfect late night tackle and provides a perfect counterpart to the upbeat disco stylings of the a side, wonderful stuff.

croatian nu-disco/funk/boogie overlord ilija rudman has swung by around here. once more he is spinning his audio gems on the legendary bearfunk label. this time is the ever so funky new release soul embrace . ilija gets his niles rogers hat on and peppers this sparkler with chingy-funk guitar. add in some big rolling, dx-style, chugger bass and lashes of darting percussion and there you have it...floor-filler dynamite. the original mix and the spectacularly 80 s styled extended mix make an appearance. our man also goes straight for the beat jugular with his drum, beat and percussion heavy bonus beats mix. to round things off, label head bear, stevie kotey, takes on the remix duties. he brings some real bass along to the party and new layers of slick keys. turning down the floor quotient just a notch, this one is pure slow-burn disco done well, very well.

its been 18 months since our first nang release, d-pulses >more<. nestled on that release was an extra ep track called >highway to saturn<. much to our delight it turned out to be a bit of a gem. when it featured on the tirk 02 and kitsune ponystep / jerry bouthier compilations we knew we were all onto something. (cue the overdrive and the interstellar vocal.) slovenian-based, us singer, hannah mancini, provides those cosmic vocals, ably recorded by sare havlicek in sunny ljubljan. after a sly re-titling of the track (to avoid confusion with the original the name has been extended to >on a highway to saturn<) its on to the obligatory over-the-top nang remix package...first up is a new version from d-pulse for those long summer nights. their >australian shore reversion< mix slows down the groove to a balmy evening by noosa shores pace. space-rock, guitar solos, smouldering synths and lazy rhythms all combine to make this one for the beach house. sare havlicek adds a couple of mixes of his own. keeping things hi-energy he goes for the disco jugular with his trademark stabby synths and tight production. nang newcomers, proper heat, strip things back and go for a slow-grooving baltic-disco chugger. rounding off the remix package is japanese based jan ken po (aka max essa). he delivers a dance floor friendly version with a big and bold walking bass riff and tasteful synths

darek presents its ninth release and 2nd vinyl edition named >maremoto ep<. it includes three original tracks of dich also known as diego cheloni or katama and three remixes delivered by signal deluxe (trenton, eintakt, fade, blaq) from mexico df as well as demir & seymen (highgrade, pentagonik) from berlin and jimmi hendrik (deep vein audio, dirty monkey, tanztone) from plauen / jena. dich was born in fray bentos in uruguay, and nowadays, he is living in montevideo. he s very active as a dj, producer and remixer. his career began as a self-taught musician approaching to percussive instruments, guitar and piano. dichs productions go from minimal to conceptual and techno dub sounds. his music development embraces different styles and he is always ready to discover new horizons. his current work is definitely influenced by minimal and techno and it offers amazing variations of both styles. this new ep clearly shows that his production skills are very effective and he is definitely one to keep an eye on.

siula grande is another needwant dancefloor friendly release with two great remixes from pete herbert and burnski to back two innovative originals. title track >siula grande< grips the floor with a hypnotic house groove and dark rave bassline, capturing the raw energy of early classics as well as the complexity of modern production skills and buoyancy of current house music. piano led melodies lead into enveloping breakdowns and result in a true dancefloor weapon. pete herbert is renowned for knowing what the dancefloor want. on his rework of >siula grande<, he highlights that groove that makes the original such a stand out track, and adds a nineties inspired piano and guitar lick - lifting the track to new heights. >for all time< is a 9-minute workout of deep slo mo funk inspired melody. lazy beats dance on a backdrop of embracing sounds producing an evolving journey into space and time. on the remix burnski, one of a new school of profilic house producers, injects the depth of house music and energy of modern techno, focusing purely on the groove in his >time to go dub<...

supplement facts records continue their rich run of form by handing a label debut to detroit-native lee curtiss. the >and we all fall down< ep has been one of the most hotly anticipated from the israeli label and is set to become the soundtrack to the last echoes of summer. we continue to dance, as the days grow short our nights become longer and lees ep is the perfect accompaniment….>i can hear you arthur<, a tribute to one of lees long-time music heroes, arthur russell, is an emotional escape. with russell being a direct sound-inspiration for the release, we are treated to a longing for a far away love. with waves of sound that build and cascade, accompanied by pillow-talk whisperings, all creating eight minutes of rhythmic, warm grooves. arthur never sounded better. after the body-swaying vibes of the a, side b brings the perspirec-electronic throb and hip-grinding action of labor of love. after yearning for arthur, we are more than appeased with the beautifully sultry and ever so intimate vocals of stephanie selvaggio. with its rhythmic guitar opening belying its true intention, labor of love develops into a sensual dancefloor cut with stephanies vocals floating effortlessly with the acidic beats as she drives us ‚crazy, and we all fall down is a perfect example of an artist at his most vunerable. its brutally honest sound invites the listener in with open arms and wraps itself around them like a warm cashmere blanket. as the brutal realisation that summer is almost over starts to sink in…its worth taking comfort in records like this, that make the transition that much easier.

one year later the label panacustica delivers a slamming second twelve inch rats mother followed by a brilliant prins thomas remix, plus a detroit inspired instrumental by stay gold, argentoÆs alter ego. the record opens with a dreamy version where a plucked string intro and rats voice drive you into a deep, cinematic, adult dance groove. this laid back, psychedelic track flows well beyond your usual dance floor act into eno-esque territories. prins thomass mix is faster, happier and jumpier. its an amazing balearic trip with a live warm feel to it in which a guitar plays along the melody, accentuating the spaced out feel of the track, lifting it into higher states. stay gold gives the listeners a techno version where sparse, mechanical drums and a minimized melody take us to the motor city (citta dei motori) for a night drive in the dark. own it, feel it, play it loud.

bosco delrey is at once a thick combination of influences and a totally unique voice in current music. diplo describes him as >a sort of garbage can elvis from new jersey... teaspoon craziness, a pinch of rockabilly, and full cup of soul dressed in a leather jacket. he cant be topped as far as song writing... hes doin the music i wish i could if i had bought a guitar<, the fader called his song >round n round hillbillyhall, and boscos own myspace says >jerry lee lewis carol king of pop<. but whatever you call him, bosco delrey is making music that is instantly accessible, totally cool, and unlike anything else on our wide-sweeping mad decent radar.

space junky is the track that first brought bosco delrey to public attention, landing him pieces on the fader, rcrdlbl and elsewhere. it features his typical excess of influences- semi-psychedelic guitars, bedroom soul hooks, splurting dancehall reggae basslines- anchored down by solid songwriting and lyrics. it s a weirdly great combination that made us think this guy might be on to something. my my racecar is harder to pin down, but no less intriguing with a chopped up guitar lead, mouth pop rhythm section and zipping bass. the drop the lime influence shines on these two tracks, lending heavy bass, sound effects and making everything crispy.

a major global player in all things futuristic disco prins thomas internasjonal imprint is further branching out and diversifying with its brand new spanking series internasjonal spesial. the a-side sees the proven and tested multi-national team of reykjavik born holmar filipson of thugfucker and crack & speed fame and ny party veteran ulysees ( one half of neurotic drum band ) pushing the agenda of joining the dots globally with the soon-to-be-classic emotive eletronic disco cut escape from new york . starting out as a leisurely paced electro boogie cut with sentimental string chords, additional e-guitar loops and haunting synth noises leak in a dark 80 s pop sensibility a la my bloody valentine. also the b-side by valentinoland - holmar filipsson partnering this time with arni runar hlodversson of fm belfast fame - is nothing short of truely exceptional but more on the dulcet side with a gut-wrenching string-lead melody in classic balearic sunset style.

one of the master teachers of the norwegian house and disco rune lindbaek - who put oslo on the house map as part of the those norwegians ( paper music ) - joins forces with younger disciple kare frisvold for a potent, accoustic hallucinogenic called >bozak brewed with the shared knowledge of mad sounds scientist like walter gibbons and lee scratch perry: a constantly building electrical storm of strange psychedelic synth noises pierced by flutters of rico rodriguez style trombone solo, liquid guitar scales and kraftwerk like melodic fragments all held together by a forcefull drum beat. the quirky >spok & spenning< on the flip is another beautifully strange mixture of cinematic melodies, like sweated out by a drunken ennio morricone, over an easy skanking beat and comes additionally in a stripped down bonus beat plus spacey sounds version by prins thomas. take a trip to your mind!
