>halfway between the gutter and the stars< is fatboy slims third album, and it is also this prolific dance producers third release on music on vinyl. here, norman cook continues the work he started on >better living through chemistry< (movlp111) and >you ve come a long way, baby< (movlp099), bringing in collaborators macy gray, bootsy collins and roger sanchez, yet he steps away from the capricious commercial world of the pop charts in favor of the steady beat of the dance floor.
re-issue on audiophlie 180 grams heavyweight vinyl.

on the a-side we have the cheeky >24 hour party sausage<, where garry takes us back to the sounds of the early 90s uk rave scene. its a peak time old school vocal affair with a raw, analog bassline, stuttered drums and chopped up stabbed vocals. stepping up for remix duty on this future classic is the mole who flips the original on its head and creates a dancefloor creeper for those darker club moments. winding the bassline and metallic beats between the rawness of the original groove and imparting his trademark spooky percussion, rhythms and eerie vocals. b-side >vacation in sunderland< is a love story with a firm salute to the classic down tempo us house of the 90s. its time to dust off those shell suits, high top sneakers and cazal shades and get ready for another slung back, funked out garry todd house jam with growling, rolling bass and seductive vocals and keys. on the remix front fellow illusion family members death on the balcony step up with a classic house masterstroke that compliments garrys slower and sleazier original. here dotb pick up the pace in a brilliantly original rework that accentuates the vocals and piano hook to create a summer house anthem - a stylish finish to another diverse installment from the illusion crew.

surely with forward-looking ambitions, serbian fellow dejan milicevic drops his debut album trust and the purpose with style,non-compromisingly showing us how electronic music has no limits, only heart and soul is needed. he throws a good example how to gather different genres and styles into one great peace of art, one that certainly cant resist giving in without touching our heart.

having launched blkrtz to wide spread critical acclaim with his album drawn and quartered in june this year, deadbeat now enlist the aid of two fellow berlin residents who need no introduction for remix duties. working with the source material from the first quarter, scuba dons his scb guise and turns in a slow burning sci-fi techno monster sure to appeal to fans of monolake and his own early work. rife with reverb drenched sonar pings and mechanized groans in the periphery, the track lurches toward its epic crescendo like an alien infested star ship nostromo sliding slowly to its demise into the center of a black hole. bringing things back up into the light on the flip, efdemin tranforms the fourth quarter (calas house) into a chugging deep pocket house journey. riding the cusp of a rubbery bassline and molding the chords into a timeless house organ motif, the originals dubwise leanings are heard loud and clear through a cloud of crackling unintelligible vocal samples and thunderous spring reverb crashes worthy of king tubby himself. without a doubt two floor ready reinterpretations and a great sign of things to come from deadbeats new curatorial ventur

massive versions by detroits theo parrish and burnt friedman!
theo roars into a fierce, uglier-than-ugly edit, with no let-up for thirteen minutes, when it crashes to a standstill: a hurtling, mesmerizing ride, multi-layered and clustered with synth washes, bleeps and alarms, galloping drums, clattering percussion.burnts shangaan variation is perforce more chilled, lithe, reverberating. the drums are crafted and fatback, with moody vocal interjections and haunting keys, chocka with dub thrills and spills, lethally spiked with bass.

round three on blank with phat groovin und pumpin tech house madness

back and forth welcomes the autums with a brand new release that will fill the dancefloor all over the world with its different attitude and styles but always provided by some of the greatest producers on the scene

* missed flight* sees two of drumcodes most prominent artists, cari lekebusch and joseph capriati, team up to deliver a 2 track vinyl ep of essential modern techno.
while lekebusch is a veteran, joseph capriati is part of the upsurge of new talent who have been grabbing increasingly intense attention over the past few years. the pairing of a prodigious new talent (somewhat new � capriati has developed quite a catalogue for an artist in his early twenties) with someone of lekebuschs standing is always an enticing prospect so >missed flight< looks set to turn heads from its billing alone. >missed flight< the track comes on like the perfect theme to the arrival of autumn. the tones are moody and the groove is linear, penetrating and eerily appointed. a kubrick-esque breakdown of pulses and space is the only thing that breaks the momentum and adds a deliciously creepy characteristic to proceedings. track two, >napoli 4am<, balances out its darker tinged predecessor with a shuffling 909 funk and playful groove combination that pairs up with subtly delayed hits deep fm synth work brilliantly.

pirahnahead and diviniti, these names are synonymous with quality dance music. since 2004s >find a way< they have been two of dance musics most prolific songwriters (and even co-wrote a few songs for les nubians on their 2011 full length >nu revolution<). with each release they have provided powerful production, smooth vocals, angelic harmony, and overall, musical excellence. this time, the super collaborators return to the foreground with one of the best tracks of 2011, >(just like)a dream<. as the sixth release from whasdat music, this soothing track has been supported by the likes of vinny da vinci, ian friday, paris cesvette and neil pierce as well as phil asher (who included it on soul heavens miami sampler mix). also, joining in as remixers are charles webster and jose carretas. both have previously collaborated with pirahnahead & diviniti, topping charts on traxsource.com. (charles websters >learning to love me< and jose carretas >life in a box<). this release is a sure-fire floor rocker and a must have for any dj.

wretch 32, real name jermaine scott, is one of the uks most loved mcs - from the underground up. from his early years in londons flourishing grime scene back in the early 00s, the tottenham-raised lyricist has always stood out from the crowd. his conscious and reflective bars, along with an extremely relaxed flow, made him a firm favourite on the uk hip hop circuit. much like tinie tempah, wretch 32 has proved that british mcs can reach the mainstream without selling their soul to pop. the first fruits of this crossover success were tasted in january 2011, when his single traktor broke into the domestic top five following an appearance on the bbc sound ofÉ list. and his second official single, unorthodox, fared even better, peaking at number two in april. so its clear that much has changed since his debut lp of 2008, wretchrospective - but has public recognition come at the expense of what marked wretch 32 out as such a talent in the first place? not at all - on the opening title-track, the rapper lets the listener know that its the same old wretch at work. over a drum-heavy hip hop beat he sets up the rest of the album well, advising everyone to fasten their seatbelts as he prepares to take them on a ride that they wont forget in a hurry. never be me finds wretch delving into his past, opening up about making certain decisions in life that got him to where he is today. featuring rnb newcomer angel on the hook, the track has an inspirational feel to it - all over another impressive, but this time more grime-influenced, beat. a true standout is anniversary, with alex mills on singing duties - its a love song, minus any cheese. then the album lurches into the electro-infused sanes the new mad - a glimpse into wretchs party lifestyle, with ladies and alcohol at the forefront of his attentions. and closer dont go just might be one of the tracks of the year.

this ep takes 3 of fergies finest musical works and hands over the remix responsibilities to more heavyweight names including: alan fitzpatrick, mr henry von and the mighty cristian varela!

rainbow arabia have been one kompakts most endearing acts to work with us in years. the husband and wife duo danny and tiffany preston started our year out with the genre-defying full length >boys and diamonds< which went on to become one our most acclaimed releases of recent time - the los angeles times went so far as to proclaim >rainbow arabia are l.a.s new electro heroes< in a recent feature. in honor of the exhaustive touring throughout the us and europe the band continues to trail blaze, we found the need to put out another limited edition 7 inch for the fans and collectors out there. the title song >boys and diamonds< combines the sway of >80s pop< with the raw power of cumbia and ethno-dance mayhem. tiffanys vocals are hauntingly powerful and a testament to the sheer will and work this band has put in over the past year. hardmix are a favorite of the band and we here at kompakt were honored have him tackle the song. what we received is melodic techno bliss - a shapeshifting extravagance that uniquely keeps the essence of the original but with a solid bass kick to keep the dance floor well on momentum

and are a duo living in manchester, uk. they have released a split 12 inch with 16 bit on mindset in 2009, the second 12 inch on black sun records that came out recently and a couple of 12 inches on horizontal ground. they sent me various batches of tracks spanning a wide range of sounds, all rooted in techno to my ears but spanning different tempos, emphasis and mood. i selected three of those tracks to appear on this ep, ranging between 130 and 135 bpm.

in just a matter of months, life and death has swiftly established itself as purveyors of quality contemporary dance music, made by artists who would undoubtedly make anyone s short list of who i d like to invite to my afterparty . it seems only fitting then that with their newest release they ve recruited the undisputed kings of late night mayhem and madness for a paen tribute to that beautiful party after the party, the continuation of all things good and twisted.. the afterparty itself. not to take the issue of such a joyful celebration lightly, dop has gone on secret missions over the last 6 months, quietly (and often not so quietly) infiltrating afterparties worldwide and secretly extracting pituitary secretions from the rowdiest party goers at each of them. they then took these secretions, burned them in a special voodoo ceremony and immediately went into the studio to create a fitting tribute to the after-hours festivities we all hold so dear. once that was complete, friends were invited and even more deviants came to the party for some dirty late night remix action. clockwork (who s recently released it s you again on hot creations has already been the soundtrack to many an after party) are here, french wolf+lamb collaborator le loup is here, mas collective (who recorded on seminal nyc label strictly rhythm) is here and marius & david are here too.. everybody giving it their own special flavor. what an afterparty indeed.

set time-dials to 2011 and engage. here we have two slick, italian producers bottin and rodion, they both may have (professionally) lost their first name, but they sure both make up for that with their italian style and extra analog-burbleness. their original vocoder nugget and dub both feature on the vinyl. for remix action we teleport over to argentina where toomy disco (a pretty spacey name already) delivers us some remix action. slick grooves, flowing bass guitar and more shine than a sparkly new saturn 5.
unless an intergalactic born space-plague fuses our brains back to reality, expect more cosmic lunacy in 2012. get your submissions in now producers.

sop is back! nach dem forever hit holt sich labelhead bait & switch diesmal verstärkung von retreats family member phillip saul sowie den liedermachern enemenemeck , die gleichzeitig den lead gesang stellen. zusammen spinnen sie sich ihre welt um am ende gemeinsam die ?zeche? zu prellen. wem das noch nicht genug ist, der bekommt spätestens auf der b-seite beim remix von k:lender chef pierre deutschmann ordentlich was auf die ohren. rundum ein außergewöhnliches und doch sehr grandioses release, welches nicht nur auf der tanzfläche funktioniert und dass den sommer 2011 sicherlich -zechen- lässt.

nice price deal !!! with again and again, the second album from the swedish-american outfit thieves like us, the band sculpts their vintage electronic sound into honest, sentimental pop.

yambee! is the first collaboration between dancefloor giants ashley beedle and yam who?. chemical love is an epic sampledelic jazz dancer with detroit overtones (think theo parrish or moodymann) thats sure to mash up any dance. natural off is a lysergic disco monster which gives a nod to the hard times we are living in. this will be the first of a series of yambee! 12inch platters that will be coming out on ashleys out hear audio imprint.

five pals from leeds, england, who play scruffy but energetic rock & roll with no shortage of swagger, the pigeon detectives formed in 2002, but the group s members � matt bowman on lead vocals, oliver main and ryan wilson on guitars, dave best on bass, and jimmi naylor on drums � were mates from school and had known one another since they were 12.
