ironic? no, it’s dead serious: sally shapiro keeps on dreaming of barbie and ken. sometimes good things come to those who wait, as is the case with sally shapiro. one shouldn’t really imagine the bashful swede from göteborg, who never performs live, setting a new trend for turning down lucrative offers. and the thought that she is working on something hip, is most likely even a little eerie for her. after all, she s just into something, which she’s been doing since her childhood in the 1980s — singing songs in the style of her idol sandra (”maria magdalena“). if she hadn’t met her companion johan agebjörn, who despite his musical socialization with techno in the 1990s has been deep into italo disco for the past few years and is a collector of zyx records, sally’s passion for synthi songs and fairy-like female vocals would have remained private. however, johan was screwing together some italo-style songs when he asked sally (whose voice he’d only heard from a previous christmas party karaoke) if she would improvise on his soft keyboard tunes, their collaboration was a done deal.
subsequent to their first releases on the labels diskokaine and permanent vacation, sally shapiro suddenly found herself in the midst of the ultra-hip neo/italo-disco movement, which is especially big in scandinavia. why of all things on the northern peninsula, where one traditionally listens to black metal and indie rock played with legs spread apart, the peculiar, yet sunny disco music became such an export hit, stays one of the mysteries of the pop business. it’s a fact, though, that next to internationally celebrated norwegian neodisco-heroes lindström, prins thomas and todd terje, the lovely sally has become the scandinavian disco-act in the mean time.

arrestar, hailing from brussels, is the second belgian artist releasing on token. he sent me this killer idm/techno track some time ago and it was immediately a favourite of mine. i fell in love with it the moment i heard it. in the end, it just needed a release. im not the only supporter of this track: inigo kennedy, oscar mulero & grovskopa love it too, so they decided to contribute with each another interpretation of the track, which in the end results in a diverse package.

after the re release on clone and some hot tracks on lets pet puppies another one rescued production of marcus mixx from obscurity! mr mixx featuring project democracys is this dream for real? paired with 3 more of marcus tracks. these rare tracks were only heard mostly in and around chicago during the late 80s. is this dream for real? is a deep and moody chicago house track. deep, infectious bassline with a gorgeous female vocal, the kind of track that makes you instantly say, wtf? simple, timeless, effective. and so are the other three tracks. raw jacking house tracks just as we like it!

>we are electric< is the second single to be taken from the recently released >entertainment< album by fischerspooner. a soaring slice of scintillating electro with super fried guitars and anthemic lyrics that put me in mind of blade runner. possibly the standout track on an album full of super strong tunes, >we are electric< comes with 3 amazing remixes which couldnt be more different from each other. the lush radio friendly nu disco mix by kitsune favourites classixx reaveals the pop heart of the song and makes us think of the pet shop boys. next up is an absolutely storming mix by cursor miner, this is so hot its likely to burn the hair off your head if heard at full volume. its extreme treated vocals recall moments from the first fs album but the beats are pure miner madness. lastly but by no means least we have hot chip at their most club friendly, comparatively subtle compared to the previous mix, its deceptive simplicity reveals an insidious dancefloor killer when played in the right context. so there we have it then a knockout single from fischerspooner on the back of a great album that has received some fine press, a selection of which is printed below.

huge and stunning 80s / disco influenced house tune! incl redanka mix! xandra is an 80s influenced summer house track with flying chords and huge electro guitar. to bring the track up to the level it has taken the collaboration of three masterminds. the heavy sound of danish rock guitarist peter , the sexy italo vocals by french singer yeniloca and a production by club84. this talented danish producer is well known for his house productions. with releases on brandnewvibe, d-tracks industry and many more, club84 is well underway. once you ve heard his tracks, we re sure you ll love it. we are proud to announce that we ve had the possibility to welcome redanka (andy holt) on board at observe. he is well known for his international remixes of top artists such as fatboy slim and u2. he has turned this song into a dance floor killer.

the spanish duo exium attacks again, and this time they are not alone. contributing a remix of the original track the omega man , the dutch duo radial add their special touch of today s techno with a style reminiscent of the best hits from the 90s. this 12 disc closes with exium s remix of dominik muller s silesian boy . the original track was released on the british label locked records, and it can already be heard in sets of artists like surgeon and rob hall.

>who is the person you would most like to work with?< for claude vonstroke, its definitely bootsy collins - the biggest personality in parliament funkadelic and funniest character the funk world has ever seen. we couldn’t be any more excited to have bootsy on dirtybird and this crazy collaboration of styles is the lead single on claude vonstroke’s 2nd album, “bird brain.” if you haven’t heard of bootsy we couldn’t write it better than rolling stone… “bootsy collins’ rubber band was the most entertaining and longest-running spin-off of george clinton’s eternal p-funk circus, and that’s because bootsy is a true star, the clown prince of comic, psychedelic, good-times funk – if he weren’t such a genius of the bass, you’d think he was jimmie walker in a sequined costume, star-shaped mirrored shades included. his career is like a horatio alger story based in chocolate city: plucked from teenage obscurity in 1969 to play with james brown, the former william collins of cincinnati brought a slap-happy zest to jb’s sound, then hooked up with clinton and was reborn in his image, with a little help from lsd.” it is certain that claude vonstroke is not nearly as accomplished as bootsy collins, but he takes the same tongue-in-cheek approach to his music and that’s why this collaboration really works. both claude and bootsy believe you got to get up for the down stroke and there’s no way to fake the funk or your nose will grow, pinocchio!

moombah is one of those records you probably heard on just about any party where chuckie dropped his beats and thought: what the hell...?! the massacre which followed on the dance floor when this bomb (or as david guetta quoted to chuckie: you gave me a huge weapon) got dropped was inevitable: total madness, and a track which became a much sought after release on the net, speculating by those youtube fanatics what it was in the first place. it was only before chuckie added moombah to the tracklist of his dirty dutch compilation when people actually knew the ins and outs.

big with radioslave, luciano, gregor tresher, karotte.. the track is hawthorne s theme , the artist 2 armadillos . i loved the track from the moment i heard it .. i m certain its going to be a favourite for all of you

the new, first time ever on vinyl 2lp reissue of a long way around to a shortcut is somehow a greatest hits of the golden not quite decade of sic alps. well, not quite golden, either. can gold be tarnished? can it be done on purpose? if so, sic alps are artisans of the highest order - for their music is the bright, surging sound of ye olde rock & roll radio (and the garages that tuned in) heard through air darkened with specks of nameless obstruction. in and amongst their ingrown sounds, sic alps take on classic tunes from strapping field hands, throbbing gristle and the zipps on a long way around to a shortcut. it is to their credit that they completely absorb their estimated predecessors and create the only sound left to them: the sound of the sic alps. a long way around to a shortcut was issued as a cd in 2008. it collected songs that were first issued throughout the epic years of 2006 and 2007 on two 12inch eps, three 7inch singles and a cassette, plus a song from a compilation cd r and a song exclusive to this compilation. the records were originally given titles like united, strawberry guillotine, semi streets, hip hop sweepers vol 1, teenage alps, and the soft tour in rough form, but all these original releases are long gone.

an unapologetic and raucous party track roughly assembled from the rawest funk and married to a massive speaker shredding clanking riff, produced by some freak the minute we heard this demo, we knew we had to find a way to release ippfspecialops is a platform for new recruits to the ppf cause to present their work to the wider world dropped by the ppf at electric chairÆs end of year riot party, the unabombers immediately dived on the scribbled cdr after witnessing its roof raising power first hand. several months later, they provide one of their rare but priceless basement rocking remixes. in house activists leo zero and the ppf comandante himself also contribute two totally varied and guaranteed dancefloor busting reworks, already wreaking havoc at optimo, horse meat disco and many more cathedrals of decadence. bespoke label artwork from cyanide graphic one limited edition pressing

beautiful disco masterpiece, the self-titled >zig zag< lp. originally released on the tiny canadian label pacha records, this lost gem has become one of the true holy grails of the cosmic disco scene and holds the top spot in many a wants list. this incredible record is every bit as good as you ve heard it is, with every track a killer. all feature great playing, awesome funky synths and b-lines and wonderful afro french vocals that make for one of the best disco lps of all time and a record that for once warrants the high prices paid for it in internet auctions. top class!

the original pressing of >get off< with serato control vinyl on the bside sold out before we even got them all back from the pressing plant. unfortunately we weren t able to press any more with serato, but we ve been getting requests all along and now that we ve got this jamming new remix from jack beats, we felt the time was right. if you don t know jack beats, they are plus one (of scratch perverts) and beni g. these guys are heavy on the uk scene and have recently done remix work for lady sov, white williams, ac slater, does it offend you yeah?, caspa, black ghosts and much more. they turn in an epic remix that switches from rough mid tempo drums and baltimore hey grunts, to one of the craziest electro wobble things we ve ever heard. seriously. crowds have been eating this thing up and with support from djs like craze, a-trak, kissy sellout, drop the lime and boyz noize this is bound to be a big tune for summer. of course you also get the original line up with the diplo produced >get off<, the awesome bonus beats, and the rob3 remix.

fist of facts began life in a basement studio on ludlow street, downtown manhattan, in the mid-80s. the bastard child of liquid liquids salvatore prinicipato & ken man caldeira (part of the liquid liquid extended family and original liquid idiot member) the band lasted nearly a decade during which they created a uniquely downtown new york sound. these tracks sat in storage on cassette tape for 25 years are a part of music history. none of them have ever been heard by the public and it will be released as a hand numbered, 4 colour sleeve limited to 500 12 inches.

per martinsen aka mental overdrive shouldnt need any introduction being the granddad of the norwegian electronic music scene and all... hidden away in a little snowcave near the polar circle hes currently preparing the bits that eventually will become his debut album for full pupp.weve heard some bits and though wed like to keep them all under the lid for a little while longer, heres a little sneak peek of what hes done and hopefully preparing you off his unique take on modern dance music taking in elements of new wave, new beat, detroit and dubstep on the way. per unleashed this on us at one of the full pupp nights in oslo and recently we saw how it took the roof off at fabric... for the b-side we paired per up with the equally detroit-loving blackbelt andersen which gives us a hi-speed samba techno work out with a unhealthy deep bass.

its been 5 yrs since the last record was released on tetrode music. (the deep theory ep). the wait is over and the duo of damon lamar and specter have returned. this ep is picking up right where they have left off. deeply rooted in the underwater sound that have made the releases on tetrode must haves by heads around the world. side a is produced by specter and he drops his signature beatdown sound. >bazerko< is a stripped down minimal heater that builds up with 707 drums, sub bass and a hammond organ riff that really bring this track together. >nighthawk< is a beautiful laid out sunrise track. smooth drums, warm pads, and bubbly appregiated synths. inspiration drawn from larry heard and the deep techno sound of the 90Æs. side b is produced by damon lamar. >large crowd< is this beating track pulled and resurrected from the vault. heavy percussion loop, dirty bass, deep chords and a haunting vocal that must be heard to understand the meaning. >put it on ice< is a laid back downtempo track that shows the versatility of damon lamar. lush strings, dubby bass and melodic keys make it a track that just grooves and soothes the ear. tetrode music has returned with this solid offering and one thing for sure is the sound hasnÆt changed ... just more refined.

a carl craig production!!! here is the 1st extract taken from night music, etienne jaumet new album to be released end of september. etienne is the keyboard player of zombie zombie. this man is breathing music. you have to catch him live to see how involved he is in his music. almost possesed. when i heard his album a while ago, i asked carl craig to make some production, which he accepted and made a job above our expectations! he pushed the level of psychadelism to the max! entropy is one of them. cosmic dark obssesive - a meeting between ashra temple, can and liaisons dangeureuses. tr 808, vintage synths...lets go for a ride... for the remix, christian vance, an australian producer who released recently a brillant track on rippertons label perspectiv has done a great job, changing the tune into a mental techno ride...we only released one mix, but check the digital platforms for more unreleased versions...

the original is driving disco house that builds, twists and turns…! jonny had played the track at t bar and it had been heard by mr g (rekids) who requested to do the remix which is a more minimal late night groover that will appeal more to those that are more in touch with their tech side. great release by the sometime freaks

played by karotte, giles smith (secretsundaze), laurent garnier... already up to its 17th release, yore keeps rolling on, this time with a new release by memory foundation. in 1994 robert hood found his way into a dark basement somewhere in viennas suburbia. mr. hood was impressed by what he had heard, and with him a dat-tape took a long journey back to where techno was invented once. with their first appearance on detroits m-plant label 15 years ago, the memory foundation or one of their many alter egos found its way into the hearts and the record-bags of many serious electronic music lovers. in 1997, after setting up their own record labels central and together with jeremiah grow! and other releases on m-plant, 7th city or usm followed. the memory foundation now returns with their contribution for the yore camp, with their >reptiles in exile ep< they prove that they havent lost their magic touch. the track burns with electro-funk fire, with natural kit and cymbal sounds giving the already-surging cut extra thrust and the staccato burble of metallic chords adding berlin flavour. a lithe eight-note bass motif anchors the warm techno-funk of >bass traveller< as a flaring synth motif squiggles alongside rhodes chords and a boogieing clavinet line, and its easy to become so engrossed by the tunes relaxed swing that the artistry of its arrangement can go underappreciated. textbook body music, >summer visions< is an earthier, mid-tempo funk workout thats sure to get the dance floor crowded, while the light-speed closer >reptiles< blazes a slinky house trail whose fresh swing has got yore written all over it. with any luck, we wont be waiting twelve more years for the next memory foundation release

this will be a big one in both techno and disco circles... do not sleep!
subdance is proud to announce their debut ep by the italian techno music legend lory d! last year we already heard some brand new things from lory, when, after 6 years without any new releases, he published two new twelve inches on the scottish label wireblock. æplisskenÆ on subdance is another stroke of genius from the roman as he comes up with two more classic examples of his unmistakable trademark sound, sombre and enigmatic, disturbing and fascinating, euphoric and energetic, powerful and direct! the a sideÆs æbank robberyÆ is a fresh interpretation of the track of the same name from john carpenter s æescape from new yorkÆ soundtrack. lory musically transports carpenterÆs apocalyptic visions of the last days into the new millennium. the brooding bass line and haunting atmospheres push the listener to an otherworldly dimension. this is loryÆs own masterpieceà lory d in technicolor and cinemascope! the b sideÆs ædisso bassÆ aims for the dance floors immediately. a perfect techno-electro track where exploding synthesizer cascades meet fragile melodies and archetypal lory d bass lines, each with a mind of their own. redshape, another techno music legend, is responsible for the mastering of both tracks. amazing stuff!

l-vis 1990 is quickly solidifying himself as a bass-prodigy. you re forgiven if you re unfamiliar with the name but pay attention - this 25 year old from brighton has stormed on the scene and is making some of the most singular dance music we ve heard of late - this stuff is truly standout. with the ever-building epic come together and the floating then undeniably face smashing united groove , we re hearing a heavy sound with a new and refreshing take on structure and style. he has upcoming releases on kitsune & dim mak as well, plus a busy club schedule with his night slugs monthly in london, and one offs at the biggest european clubs (fabric london, social club paris, scala berlin, etc). oh and did we mention that with all that he still finds the time to make videos for the likes of dance area and riton!? definitely one to keep your eye on. in the meantime, these two tracks form a serious weapon. amazing new mad decent record that s making big waves worldwide. touches of grime, house, uk funky and your classic mad decent styles. big.

one of the great aspects of the endlessly varying bass music soundwave is the way it seems able, even compelled, to fuse antecedant styles and genres to itself. in the most innovative hands, influences from last month are absorbed and reworked as smoothly as those from last century, and creativity sparks brightest when the marriage of form and function takes place beyond recognised boundaries? and it?s from that unrestricted zone that uk producer o-dessa emerges. opening with an initial resemblance in sound to the same plaintive blue air of burial, as these tracks resonate deeper in the mind, it becomes clear that this sonic affinity is merely a veil beneath which a new heart beats. the rhythms lurking below the bassline in ?deeper? are like some undiscovered amalgam of old skool hardcore and something you might hear on the latest dirty south mixtape, which somehow manage to defy sense and co-exist in a driving and breathtaking way. mournful mariachi horns and a plunging dub bassline intermingle in a desolate approximation of sergio leone?s western soundtracks, while reedy flutes and distant female voices build a swirling vapour through which skittering woodblocks and metallic ticks raise an anxious sense of motion. anchored by a vast, cone-melting sub-bass undertow, ?deeper? s treasures are buried well below the surface. the juxtapositional subtle-tear-out nature of o-dessa?s production is even more apparent in ?million dollarz?, which reveals itself in stages to be a gradual descent into layers of tweaked amen breaks, but with a grandeur unlike anything previously heard, even though that drum pattern has already been chopped countless ways over the years. it?s not until midway through its five-and-a-half minutes that the famous phased snares rise from the dense banks of atmospherics, but when they do, a moment of blurred euphoria hits and the tune bursts into colourful life. this 12¬ is the first broadcast of many more to come from o-dessa, as - like many have in their own way before and still more strive to do so now - he embarks on his individual journey in the continual reinvention of bass music. instant thrill junkies won?t find their fix in these grooves, but followers of the path less travelled will recognise many signs pointing the way to a rich future.

hailing from montpellier, rodriguez jr. makes his return to leena with “kids of hula,” bringing the coastal sounds of his hometown along with him. after the success of “rubbo swingo”, his first release on leena, rodriguez jr.—who also comprises half of f communications’ the youngsters—went on to release records for boxer recordings and mothership. on leena’s 11th release, he has returned for a second round, once again displaying his softer side as a housey, psychedelic producer. “kids of hula“ begins on a strongly melodic note with airy, exotic chords leading the way and occasional accents of tropical percussion lining the backdrop. old-school throwbacks also have their place here, as the track climaxes with the use of psychedelic vintage sounds that recall the work of space disco giant lindstrom until they ultimately fuse together with the track’s initial harmonies to create a complex and layered final product. the b-side “pandora” begins with a more stuttered beat and a warbled, static-laced environment. the track reaches its high point with psychedelic sounds comparable to those heard on the a-side that possess a more hypnotic, melodic, and spacey twist. digital exclusive “offshore” fills its landscape with fragments of vocals and high pitched bleeps, blurps, squeals that alternate in time with one another until vintage synthesizers enter the picture. as the track progresses, the old-school synthesizer sounds and vocal snippets unite and begin to work together in unison, by the time the track reaches its peak, the vintage synths have taken on a completely new sound and direction, guiding the pulse of the track until its ending.

dj support: dj hell, dj deep, brothers vibe, jerome sydenham, sasse, riva starr, laurent garnier, gel abril, axel o boman, siopis, ricardo esposito... born and raised in sweden, marco gegenheimer grew up with a big range of musical styles from reggae to soul, funk latin, pop and flamenco. he teached himself to play guitar and drums and started to play in rock and indie bands before arriving at electronic music. today gegenheimer lives in barcelona and is very active as dj and producer. his current style is influenced by his rich musical past as well as detroit and chicago, which can be clearly heard on his first perplex. kalakuta is an epic floating techno track, classic and modern at the same time, with outstanding mixing and sound design which will send all lovers of quality and emotional techno music on a journey into time and space. kuti goes into the same direction, with massive chord stabs above one of the coolest basslines you might have heard in quite a while, shortly breaking down with melancholic pads in the middle only to bring the groove back with even more force some seconds later.

another mouthwatering viper beatz release sees the daylight and this bombshell is guaranteed to devastate the dance floors on a global scale. live a lie a jewel in the typical way only g town madness & the viper can create, breathes brilliance and has not only been receiving heavy dj support from the total top in hardcore such as endymion, nosferatu, tomyknocker, dj panic and evil acitivies, but is also to be found on major compilations like hardcore to the bone xiii, and in qontrol. with its impressive anthem break live a lie brings unity and gets back to that true feeling of hardcore: come as one! envy shows the raw side of these craftsman resulting in an ear piercing, raging, full in your face hardcore track yet without losing any of the true g town madness & the viper feel. the result is a raw hardcore bomb, as probably many would not expect from this magical duo. crazy edits, weird synth patterns and freaked distorted bone shattering kick drums bring a refreshingly different taste within g town madness & the viper releases till date. current dj support by the likes of partyraiser, neophyte, tha playah and outblast. when angerfist heard cliffhanger, he decided to give it an angerfist refix. gtm and the viper were so pleasantly surprised when they heard this, they immediately decided to let everyone enjoy this fine piece of rework. after circulating within the hardcore scene for quite a while also this tune will leave a mark on the hardcore scene as we know it.

since its foundation in the year 1995, reykjaviks gus gus are working hard to make this world a less boring place. initially tagged by the press as the next big icelandic music export after bjoerk, the band swept away all cliche thinking with their highly infectuous metrosexual multimedia pop and secured themselves a deal with the prestiguous 4ad label. &#8233,,,since then a lot of hot water has been ejected by icelands geysers but gus gus miraculously always managed to combine avantgarde with pop, soul and of most prominently - with electronic music. especially with their furious live shows they ve earned themselves a devoted following worldwide. &#8233,,,&#8233,,,this years september will bring us the release of their sixth studio album that goes by the name 24/7. at this point, we dont want to let too much of the cat out of the bag but its certainly right to say that they ve once more reinvented themselves and the result is truely breathtaking. as we re convinced that the world-embracing harmonies and impeccable catchiness of add this song should be heard during this summer season, so we ve decided to already share this with you now. &#8233,,,&#8233,,,the remixes all sound as excellent as their producers: patrick chardronnet, lopazz & zarook and gluteus maximus...

who the hell are bleep district i hear you ask? well for those of you who havent heard their awsome debut on replay records they are matt powell a founding dj of the legendary quadrant soundsystem and the inappropriately nicknamed matt rhythm who rumour has it spends his spare time pressing random buttons as one half of deep house anti-heroes rhythm plate. coming straight out of leftfield, bleep district have exploded onto the deep house scene like a musical gas leak. their quirky, chunky, dancefloor orientated beats causing serious damage on dancefloors and working mens clubs around the counrty. these two devout christians and still practising altar boys have decided to continue the religious theme of the bleep of faith ep on the highly respected winding road and titled their debut for ornate music… end days ep. revelations (rapture rub) kicks of the ep with a clearly deluded shaun ryderesque gentleman professing his faith over a big moody analogue bass and detroit style stabs on a track that would make the staunchest non believers begging for absolution! and on revelations (pillar of salt dub) they take things nice and deep for those more reflective moments in the evening.

jack for daze is one of the new clone series of releases inspired by the early house releases from chicago. one of the main inspirations of the clone crew... first release is done by neville watson, known for his collaboration with kink. two sweet tracks that are highly influenced by joe lewis and larry heard. two tracks that sound as if they came out of a time machine. clone founder serge produced a modern jack track together with gerd as bonus track. back into the studio since a long time and just playing around they came up with a nice hybrid mix somewhere inbetween an old gherkin gherks / larry heard release and a modern club track. crazy low bass kick and a classic jacking percussion drive combined with todays production skills. a proper club tool that compliments this first jack for daze release... very much recommended!

third release for the third eye project of masomenos, with 3 tracks by themselves, including a great featuring by curro savoy on ningessera, a vocal pumping & deep house track. you ve probably heard curro savoy before, as he is the amous whistler from all ennio morricone soundtracks for sergio leone movies! he brings here an amazing melancholic vibes with his whistle & guitar… percute his a funkier track, but still quite trippy. as for sambatic, we get more into percussive groove with some great vocals too, thats sound like in ningessera to be some unknown universal language

well 20 catalogue numbers and three ôthe cheapersö releases later, our ruede hagelstein dares to perform a solo dance on upon you. in this case- a chair dance. the name ôreise nach jerusalemö stands for the game moving chairs that ruede still remembers from his east german child hood.the principles of the track will be recognized by those who know the game. to all others the a1 side will appear to be a mean techno pusher. ôaron habritö also surprises the inclined listener with unexpected curves of tension but still remains on the house ground of reality and digs like ôlevithanö towards the thick underbrush of pre-christian mythology that ruede seemed to in any way have heard of in one of those brandenburg kibbuzes. shalom!

villa nah makes pure electronic pop with plenty of emphasis on catchy melodies and meticulously crafted soundscapes reminiscent of the 1980s. stylewise, villa nah is related to 80s bands like heaven 17 or new order, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. once you ve heard their debut single, you ll know that villa nah is about nothing else but their own style and sound. the single opener ways to be is built around a synth bassline, handclaps and the kind of irresistible melody that you cant shake out of your head once you ve heard it. envelope is a tad more dark with an uplifting synth melody serving as a hook. daytime, in contrast to its title, evokes a strong sense of night time. villa nahs vocalist juho paalosmaa is a very charismatic performer, whose great sense of stage drama brings to mind a young glenn gregory or philip oakey. indeed, villa nah is not merely a production duo but an actual band with a live show that is not to be missed.
