d julzs bass culture records has undoubtedly been one of the major highlights of 2009. in just four releases the french label has set the bar for all others in terms of quality and 2010 is looking to be a groundbreaking year for them. the second release of 10 showcases the label head keeping it detroit, and a bit in the grey area - with the lov is easy release by anonym. anonym. the one who is anonymous. with releases on anonymous release, archipel, bloop, pariter, fof, and sushitech. anonym has also contributed the scoring soundtrack to works on display at the museum of moving images in nyc for pbfb. according to the man himself, i am anonym the one who is anonymous. i am anonymous because in any popular music form prone to be ransacked by the egos of its participants, a state of grace is best achieved and sustained by pursuing a life of anonymity. that preserves its creators from the warping stare of the media and its public in the process. his sound is tempered with grace & style, with a feeling of - detroit is my heart and often my songs sing her praises. i have known her all my life.

support: gregor tresher, alex bau, beroshima, technasia, adam beyer, the advent, chris liebing, claus bachor..... crazy denis >remute< karimani with a further step into technotic weirdness par excellence on eme! flash appears kind of calm and reduced in the beginning, but once played out loud it turns into a bass-driven soundresearch with no rules and restrictions, simply crazy! the flipside >joking about life< shows a bit more constancy and rolls away with pure energy, a perfect counterpart to >joking about death< which was released last year. versatile techno, unique sounddesign, remute at its best within only two tracks! love it or hate it!

hyperdub has long been a fan of grime don terror danjahs razor sharp productions, his unparalleled, skittering rhythm science, deadly riffs, brilliant technicolour synth squiggles, gremlin cackle signature and general ear for a catchy tune. on this first ep for the label, he showcase two strains of his many skills. acid cranks up the energy, with an ascending synth crashing into stuttering drums and synths. they play hide and seek with each other for a bit, before the track unexpectedly breaks into a 4 / 4 house rhythm, and then shatters into pieces again. on the flipside, pro plus, terror is joined by long time collaborator d.o.k for a slice of their classic sound - an infectious, twisted sickly sweet synth melody wrapped around syncopated, stop start drums to mean effect.

played and support by brothers vibe, gorge, mendo, acumen, nick curly, felipe venegas, jackspot, ptoile, monoroom, martin eyerer, someone else and many more. his successful releases and remixes were published on labels like kiddaz fm, spinclub, cecille, 8 bit, session deluxe or glückskind. his tracks got remixed by world famous artists like marek hemmann, billy dalessandro, nick curly, chris liebing or tom pooks!! first move is helmuts typical fragile minimal tech-house funk. a sweet lullaby with mantra like vocals thats too minimal to be tech house and far too funky and sexy to be minimal. and helmut is never satisfied with doing things like all the other producer around do it right now - he is always looking for the little things thats different - so expect a surprise or two if you are listening carefully. cut b1 is so typical for helmut again you would know without any doubt where these funky track comes from. reminding of his old classic dub la chord or his yellow tail release this is his typical cleaned up tech house with his own vocal snippets you just cant get enough of.

hot on the heels of the brits success we have some top notch remixes of 3 of flos biggest tracks to date!

after releases on established labels like smallville, liebe detail, cargo edition, freude am tanzen and others, daniel stefanik, sven tasnadi und stefan schultz (juno6) decided to provide their own basis in their hometown leipzig. oh!yeah! is something between couch and dancefloor, if you like even a bit gaga. it shall reflect the freaky and humorous side of the three guys. we save our breath and cheesy speeches – let the music play. number 004 is written and produced by stefan schultz alias juno6. have fun with oh!yeah!004

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

hi everybody.
profan (...remember wolfgang voigts abstract techno label from the 1990s) is back from the future, and again complicates the situation. like his earlier projects, the brand new sog (strictly limited to 400 copies) release combines seemingly familiar and extremely unfamiliar signs, and in the most unusual way bends them around the utterly familiar bass drum. the result is a conspiracy of four sound frescos of peculiar beauty, and indeed they deserve the title abweichung (engl. deviance) - named after voigts painting featured on the cover. this is minimal art techno that raises questions.
profan 32 will be released before profan 31which will be released a bit later. yet both are heralds of the art publication/double cd compilation: wolfang voigt – werkschau to be released in spring 2010.

iron curtis is a berlin based young producer. his debut release on tensnakes mirau was supported a lot from many djs and deetron picked his track to his mix cd on music man. this his third release contains three unique touch detroitish house tracks. title track of >großreuth 1< is a winner of this ep. it reminds old school detroit house track and simply effective in the club. this track will be useful dj tool for any house and techno djs. >save the night<, >80 g< on the opposite side are little bit more deep house style. i would like to recommend these tracks to the fan of underground quality or that kind of underground house.

right now is a bit of a lost record that has never officially been released as a single but managed to make its way onto jt donaldsons dj mix album and mark farinas house of om compilation on om records. now the record is being given the recognition it deserves by being released as a single on rebirth records with a couple of hot new mixes.

big with: llorca, trickski, deetron, djuma soundsystem, ante perry, laurent garnier, .. for its 3rd release lany recordings turned towards we play house recording artist san soda to provide the goods. this is no coincidence as we play house recordings is run by red d, maxim lanys lany partner in crime. this means that lany 03 take things a bit deeper than the previous lany releases, without losing the direction lany recordings is aiming for. on this untitled e.p. san soda teams up with friend just nathan for two tracks. just nathan is another experienced belgian dj who has something to offer to the world, adding further proof to the fact that belgium has more skills than just making waffles and harassing children

this new ep retraces ceephaxs history and its very own personal and genious way to appropriate a musical style with always such generosity. from the dubstep of souley man, the sunset dancefloor hit bacardi breezer, the drum n bass track dona hue, the break bit track turrican 2 to ticker train, an acid bomb that defies anybody to not let themselves get carried away by these wild bpm.

it was only a matter of time. two genre-defining artists together ... pop music and dance musics most famous arbiters of taste, collaborating at last. dj hells >u can dance< is an interpretation of an unreleased bryan ferry song, but its one that reflects a perfect melding of two distinct personalities, a record that sounds as if the voice and music were made for each other.
hell, of course, has been riding high on the success of >teufelswerk<, his masterpiece of a double album, a journey replete with fruitful experiments and club bombs. one that has yielded both massive hits and not a tiny bit of controversy along the way. ferry, meanwhile, has been as busy as ever—recording a new album, performing in places as far afield as siberia, opening up the cannes film festival ... basically just being bryan ferry.
and now here they are together ... it all started in 2006 when hell dropped in to meet ferry at his west london studio. at first they discussed hell remixing an old roxy music track, and then it turned into something else - something new (u can dance).
they had similar impressions of one another — hell: >i was impressed by his aura and his look.<, ferry: >he impressed us with his sophistication and charm.< fast forward a few years later, and hell is hard at work on teufelswerk and putting the finishing touches on the aforementioned song titled >u can dance<, a serpentine moroder-esque disco burner. with the help of old friend peter kruder, of kruder and dorfmeister fame, hell fashioned the song into a smoldering nine-minute highlight of the double disc set, in which ferry turns in a typically assured vocal performance.
ferry may seem like an unexpected fan of dance, but hes been going to clubs since he was a teenager, and in his lengthy career hes worked with legends such as nile rodgers of chic and david williams from michael jacksons band. >its always a pleasure to work with people from that genre, who follow a singular groove.<
the single follows in the wake of hells >the dj feat. p. diddy< which has won over floors and critics alike with its nearly 30-minute radio slave remix and fine work from the likes of deetron, jay haze and others. on >u can dance< hell and ferry have similarly pulled out all the stops for the remixes, gathering up work from the grammy-nominated producer carl craig, dfa mainstay tim goldsworthy and pop electro superstars simian mobile disco.

marcin czubalas track titles are starting to closely mirror his career path. like a swift gazelle czubala bounces back and forth between mobilee records and nick curlys 8bit recordings, leaving in his wake a trail of triumphant releases. >zoo comunale< springs czubala back to mobilee after the success of his >minskaya< ep on 8bit, and jumping in the cage with him is none other than well renowned artist hugo. an impressive discography and busy touring schedule have made hugo a reputable name in clubs around the globe. as a fan of his jazz educated, funk inspired sound czubala approached hugo to collaborate. the subsequent intertwining of these two musical animals produced >zoo comunale<, its bouncy grooves and hypnotic loops tinged with a bit of funk. animalistic stuff. >zoo comunale< is comprised of two tracks, a-side >zoo comunale< and b-side >no tu no<, as well as a digital bonus track >polita<. every track has its own unique twist, each proving perfect for dance floors world wide. mobilee says welcome to the zoo, and enjoy!

nice price deal !!! originally released in 2001!!

cripsy and a little bit industrial flavoured darker techno killer

every year hundreds of thousands of dance records are being made and released. with the output from dance producers at an all-time high and with so many records crossing over it takes something a bit special to break-through from underground groover to worldwide mover. 2010 is the year of >sidney samson – riverside (lets go!)< on data records.
the facts above dont lie, this isnt just a dance record, its a dancefloor phenomenon and theres good reason for the comparisons with >day & night< by kid cudi vs. crookers and fedde le grands infamous >put your hands up for detroit<. its got exactly the same appeal and has had exactly the same effect, i.e. unstoppable support and praise from the coolest underground djs all the way up to the global superstar djs and via every european summer holiday resort. sidney samson is a name you simply cannot ignore right now.

supported by adam beyer, john digweed, dominik eulberg, ewan pearson, perc, danny tenaglia, dave tarrida. roland m. dill is a passionate dj, trained musician as well as bit of a scientist. this release tells a story of psycho acoustics. so expect >low go< to be something special for your ears and for your soul. roland likes chicagomusic and this track has the chicagoesque feeling in it from the beginning. those who remember green velvet will get a hang also on this powerhouse-techno production! this track will be easily fitted in to every berghain dj set and rock the shit out of everyone on the dance floor. dont expect dubbed out lushness, this is serious dance or die action .
the remixes come from prominent producers around europe, so starting chronological from a2 to b2: sian has appeared on a lot on raves and parties with his surf board. he is an international traveller who loves to be reminded of the times when surfing farmers left their houses with door frames and no doors. his remix works in a way a countdown functions. building up tension at an incredible speed, this track is set out to explode... but sian would not be sian if he had not developed a club friendly torture . sian rides the wave of superfatt basslines and adds a sequence that sounds as if someone had replaced his teeth with thin pieces of metal, creating a humming voice comparable to one of a jaws harp. sian keeps the tension going with very few elements and shows he is a true masterof techno.
secret cinema has been accompanying us since his first releases mid of the 90ies and we truly believe quality prevails, not to mention his mayor chart hit just 3 months ago with “shake ur tech-ass”. well secret cinema is unbelievably massive in his production. we dont see how anyone can fatten up the sound more than he can. but it is not only about tuning and pimping and pimping and tuning... his remix is a masters piece of perfectionbecause it creates something rare... deep emotional hydraulic strength. this is like diving head on into a pool of silicone and getting sucked into it. this track has an hypnotic feel to it that is comparable to radiohead.
darko esser is an icon in the techno scene of the netherlands. his remix takes the track in to a direction you would not expect it could go to. starting rather minimal darkos remix soon takes a turn and brings in jack elements and cool nostalgic melodies that will warm the heart of every detroit techno lover. was it derrick may who played chords like this... these strings are looked up in the back of our heads like childhood memories of having your first popcycle exploding in your mouth. this is soulful music with just enough analogue imperfection and warmth to it.

hello and welcome to the new decade. we are kicking off the 10s with a smash from the 00s - as a hinge between the decades, so to say. adas >lovestoned< was everybodys favourite track from her fabulous >adaptations< album, a milestone of romatic techno with vocal support by raz o hara. one of this songs biggest admirers is president bongo of gusgus fame. together with jack shidt he forms the dynamic duo gluteus maximus which already caused a stir with their amazing remix for sigur ros >gobbledigook< on kompakt pop. their lovestoned remix is astounding, too. sex, modern, efficient without losing one gramm of soul. the flipside is taken care of gui boratto who is never far away when techno meets pop in such a sensitive way. his remix makes all great things from the original a bit greater and its pushing the romance factor to the max.
great job, comme d habitude!

paul du lac with his follow up on his limited clone x release. 3 tracks that are a mixture of the good old dj international days, joey lewis and k-alexi shelby and a little bit of that dutch unit moebius sound. solid jacking house tracks!

vindi had been played all october 09 by richie hawtin ! barraca music celebrate their second in the >love barraca love music< series with a continuation of all things groove related taking precedence once again. talented french producers acumen and timid boy start us of on the a-side giving the dj plenty of room to build and create with >vindi< and >londres< respectively. the b-side nudges up the tempo a bit with noidoi >deep down chicago< a track that has seen lots of heavy play across the globe by some big hitters. milans karm wraps up the b-side with his track >reika< bringing us back to a deeper melodic style.

a bit of a mix of styles here from label boss hanno. wonky techno that hanno/aeox are know for and some glitchy/breakyness with vocals thrown in.. plus an ice cream van i think?another timeless release from null!

classic sounding track by two long going and respected techno heads.. fabrice lig and titonton. these guys take it back to the early nineties when techno was still fresh and new... the days that titonton and dan curtin were debuting with their sophisticated techno sound. raw funky 909 percussion, bleepy analogue synths and great warm string sounds and beautiful melodies. purist techno tracks that never go out of style and reminds the old blokes why we loved techno in that period so much. and it shows the young cats that there is more then the standard dj tool techno! beanfield is on remix duty here... and he delivers an updated modern dancefloor friendly house version with a great string section that reminds a bit of knights of the jaguar and a killer bassline after the break. check!

marcelo torres does not foget his tribal origin to propose his new single on fragile records even though you can taste a little bit of electronic contamination into it... hot impact on the floor.

4 track 12 with exclusive music to the forthcoming same titled album. swinger than doubt is already a popular track in their live performance, a bit in the vein of the st. germain classic rose rouge. ana is a percussive electronic cut with chants and reminds of certain villalobos/luciano productions push! features japanese mc twiggy. last track acid typhoon is on a acid house tip and has an oldschool chicago sample.

this is the fourth release on the daphne label, here to balance out ruffage with a bit of a feminine touch. the a side comes to us courtesy of millie, re imagining a shake style funk jam with toughened percussion and padded low end. over on the flipside andrea rewinds spectral synths in a tweaked and heavy r&b style. limited copies only!

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

provoke recordings strikes back with a savage release, a 4 tracker by sxt a.k.a. tieum! the a side contains two uptempo vicious roaring tracks, the b side slows down a bit but brings you another 2 heavy kicking tracks with the well known tieum basses! quality ep!

another show stopper from french outfitles umins. its all about the remixes on this dope three tracker, as home and garden kick things off with a tough, synth heavy retro 80s mix thats a totally new sound for these boys. on the flip brett johnson shows why hes the man, killing the floor with a truly bugged out take on the original thats just got prime time madness written all over it. sounds like a bit of plastikmans spastik in there! icon on point with an essential underground release.

sebo ks last release on mobilee, diva, was a hit, and one of mobilees most popular tracks in 2008. since then hes primarily stayed under the radar, popping up only momentarily to release a track on cecille in july of 2009. with his new release spirits, sebo returns not only to mobilee but also to the sonic tropes that propelled him to success in the first place. undulating melodics that stretch like rubber bands, a funky bass line, and a jacking house beat: within the first few seconds of hearing spirits one immediately recognizes the slew of sounds with which sebo k made his name. the track takes its time to build as well, riding the groove for a bit before bringing a singular, high pitched note into the picture. as it continually gains momentum and rises in intensity, the captivating sounds of a piano arrive, adding yet another layer of familiar and hypnotic melody. all the tracks components merge seamlessly, with percussive accents here and there until staccato strings make a dramatic entrance, fluttering and dialogue with the rest of the tracks components. by the end of the track, the piano has gotten back in the drivers seat, steering the track along it s course. the drum version builds off the vintage house sounds of the a-side but substitutes extensive percussion from max moya for the strings and piano

the hidden cameras never fail to capture the imagination. orchestrated by leader joel gibb, their live spectacles are unconventional to say the least ? everything from blindfolded band members and string players to go go dancers shimmying alongside gospel choirs. the hidden cameras latest work, origin: orphan, is equally ingenious as the four previous albums.

smaul recordings should not be suggestive of being fed by productions of acid pauli, only. however, creative times need being used and martin gretschmann - aka console - member of the notwist - alias acid pauli has collected lots of material whilst the scarce time left last year. on smaul 07 he follows his self-weaved red thread of the year. acid pauli confides more & more in a certain house rhythm paired with these melancholic layered sound-synthesis, already well known by him. astonishing things emerge out of acid paulis musical waves, sometimes even scientially croon quite a bit. nymbiotic (a) comes relaxed but holds a great melody up in the sleeve - seasonly peppered. symbiotic (b) rests bit on minimal house, but acid pauli never relied on that genre. thus, this track does not remain as it seems after three minutes. glitches and sounds break it up to evolve a new symbiosis. symbiotic becomes more timeless in spite of siren-climax peaks and an obsessive string chorus fading in the end.

de maxx sampler vol 26 including crookers feat kelis, the bloody beetroots feat steve aoki, mstrkrft feat john legend, grum and switch!

first release from this exciting new spanish label focused on future synth beats with enough funk to appease george clinton. this is the first release too for the spanish beatmaker hybakusha, a pioneer of the skweee sound in spain. gameboy lover is a noisy 8 bit robotic skweee track which mixes chip tune drums and cutting edge filtered synths in a crazy groove. on the other side there is a mesak remix of the same track. for those of you who have been napping for the last few years, mesak is one half of the electro outfit mr velcro fastener, he has released solo material on dexters klakson label and is one of the most prominent heads on the skweee scene. his remix treatment takes the track into more spacey and deep territory, giving this record the official and personal stamp of the finnish skweee.

>minimal is cool but in the long term a bit too unsexy!< this statement of marcel knopf that is by now quite old, shows his heart does not beat for one genre after all. after the first and more technoid single release from his album >dusty dance< monsieur knopf satisfies his longing for real house with single no.2 >crazy about<. r&b singer camaras soulful voice leaves quite an impression on this powerful beat. in >skinny bitches< marcel knopf processes insane nights: you just want to drink a beer in your favourite pub but then you meet a couple of friends and they take you to the worst disco in town. this high-energy track is uncompromising and must be played during peak time and not during warm-up sets or after-hours.

supported by monika kruse, adam beyer, jakob hilden, dave seaman, laurent garnier, kiko, john digweed, nic fanciulli, barem, chris liebing, danny tenaglia. yes, the world can be a cocktail and kaiserdisco are surfing on a wave of success following their track espandrillo. espandrillo made it into the richie hawtin us bus tour 2009 chart and has been re-entering charts worldwide for numerous times since. we think that with amalfino kaiserdisco will be hitting the top 10 charts of many dj s again. amalfino is a strong driving percussive track that builds on child vocals, creating a bit of a fairy-light atmosphere within a massive production. bailetteo is a track that can be understood a bit as a continuation of amalfino working with similar vocals but has less of a peak time formula. with >carachillo< kaiserdisco have added a cool and deep, housy track with indian vocals and samples, which could be cool for the house community.

mothership transmission 027 – maetrik the >space chronic< ep was the biggest selling record on mothership last year and for good reason. maetrik has an incredible knack for innovative and original sound design. he is also able to package these sounds inside great arrangements and very dj friendly beats. this is what really separates his records from the rest of the sound design experts. >show me< is the perfect example of maetriks amazing talents. after several minutes of a super funky techno groove (2 things that dont usually go together) we find ourselves at the drop. and this drop is one of the best we have ever heard. it sounds like an angry wasp is flying full speed through the inside of your brain. the riff will melt your mind. >simpleman< on the other side is a great example of maetriks versatility. you might be expecting a hardcore techno bit but instead we hear a very groovy, almost reserved jazz techno fusion joint, but still with the heavy beats to keep it real for the clubs.

superhero by the glass, the second single off their upcoming album, is a pop leaning dancefloor track with an infectious hook. remixes come courtesy of uks luke solomon, founder of classic recordings with derrick carter, and all round house music champion. lukes mix is an old skool rave dub with pulsing percussion, trippy synths and a wonderful retro bassline. esl recordings ursula 1000 plays up the hip hopelements in the original production with 80s electro feel, shimmering hats and a 90s ravey vibe. finally newcomer bit thief brings an amazing nu house remix to the table with an incredible conga heavy mix which includes tenor sax honks and much much more… the glass are on tour in the usa in september and europe in october and december!!!

the freaks are on the road again, ready to refuel your empty dancing-tanks! the 15th freakshow release should seriously be on the wantlist of everybody who is searching for timeless electronic dancemusic that is aiming at the peaktime moments of the night. it is grooving like hell by having a minimalsitic approach wrapped in carefully crafted high class arrangements, hypnotically pushing & uplifting all of your senses. on the a-side, fausto messina comes up with >bafile street<, a proper microphunk stormer slightly sounding like a tribute to baby fords alltime classic track >make a move<. bafile street, is a track that is more than predestinated for being found in the peaktime moments of one of ricardo villalobos dj-sets. the flipside track is a contribution coming from 2 real techno-wizards. on the one hand jackspot, whom we know from datapunk or highgrade releases alongside his mate diego. their track called >muchen< slightly reminds us a of evergreens in techno history from mathew herbert mixed with a bit of wishmountain. all in all one must quote that if-15 is crossing the borders of techno, techhouse and minimal techno, thus making it possible to satisfy the needs of a lot of deejays playing different and versatile styles of electronic music

this new collaboration between two of cadenzas finest talents makes its official debut on mobilee with black shoes, a cut that pops, crackles, and snaps like youd never believe. dance floor ready yet unwilling to sacrifice an explicit focus on the details, black shoes pulsates with bass while suggesting a kind of lightness as whispered and fragmented voices hiss and murmur in the background. the melodics, which give off the feel of being in constant flux, provide a nice contrast to the intensely regularized bass drum while simultaneously meshing with the popping percussion that guide the track along its course. breakdowns filled with the sounds of static and 8-bit provide a nice experimental touch to this track that works equally well as a late-night romp as it does on the headphones. b-side speech also gives off a stuttered feel but is even more blippy and fragmented than its counterpart while migrating towards a more jacking vibe. brito and toro compliment this fractured sound with extensive use of vocal samples—both spoken and sung—that, while incomprehensible, lock in seamlessly with the overall feel of the track. melody here references both vintage sounds and traditional minimalism with the end result being a fusion of the two that is truly extraordinary.

supported by: richie hawtin, dubfire, john digweed, anja schneider, electric indigo, sian, christian martin, ivan smagghe !! trapez headliner alex under releases with this 4 track ep a stunning follow up to >muscle tracks<. titled >muscle tracks ii<, this release has a lot to offer from the housy but almighty fat >firebird< to the speeding >mustang<.
>mustang< is a perfect techno track, it sums up what a whole techno night could be like. it is a fast track but also a deep cool track, when the chords join in one gets close to heaven. it is also a track that changes gear and has a nicefeeling for controlling the pace perfectly. the unbeatable cool alex under beat and 3d sound experiments that sound as if ice cubes were rotating in a tumbler make it a super track.
>charger< is a massive track! the track seems to suck up air to created a vacuum and also sounds a bit as if there was a problem with the ignition of the charger! once it gets going it is indeed a heavy rocking track!>firebird< is a fat sounding house track, which can be plaid by house djs as well as techno djs using a cool walking bassline and a super tight slapping snare and cool house vocals on top of it! starting housy the track develops into a hi energy, appegiator driven track showing alex unders talent for moving genres skilfully from one end to the other! this is a great track!

its really difficult to find something truly original nowadays. something different, something personal. juju & jordash are this and much more. for the second downbeat, they give us two times 10 minutes gems. psychodelic, dubby and slow beats with a bit of raw and acid elements in a continuous evolution. pure juju & jordash sound… 100% downbeat style… music with soul in a corporeal container….. this label is dedicated to yagoba. aupa!

rare and limited re-release from this classix elektro ep ... tolles minialbum ! mix i-f with giorgio morder & dopplereffekt and a bit of drexciya. this is what you get: rocking disco electro tracks

hot on the heels of the excellent bad cop bad cop ep comes the amazing new four tracker from smear, otherwise known as one half of forward strategy group, encompassing all that is good when it comes to hypnotic, rhythmic techno. think old school jeff mills meets marcel dettmann with a bit of throbbing gristle thrown in for good measure, youd be hard pushed to find a more essential techno record this year.

smith & mudd follow their second album, le suivant with something that goes a bit darker. side a is a chuggy affair where the beats drive a bit harder than their usual tracks but the lushness and the bass groove are still there. a beautiful electric violin solo takes the second half to a different place. side b is a deep bass journey that sounds like jean luc ponty and terry callier combined with a but of led zep. fantastic stuff. check

the voyeurhythm crew from london is doing their first record! ben sun, megadon betamax and hollywood nites deliver some shit hot slo-mo house and disco tracks that go somewhere ugly edits and mark e. crazy stuff that work very well. total killer is the b side cut by ben sun that covers the whole side. a incredible funky and rocking disco funk tune with crunchy 12-bit beats and a soul vocal give way to joyful swinging keys and a driving deep-disco groove. this sounds like one of the best kdj releases! recommended.

early support from raresh, 2000 and one, mathias tanzmann, federico molinari, alex niggemann, robert dietz, nima gorji, anja schneider, julien chaptal, ellen alien, djulz, neil quigley, nic fanciulli, alex celler, dorian paic (its a superbomb!) …
bloop is fast becoming a bit of a name amongst those in the know for quality output across the house spectrum so its no surprise to see net28, esperanza and lomidhigh rising star kasper on the imprint with his chicago take 12 inch. if youve checked the spaniards recent contributions to wolf & lamb or net28, you will be aware of his funk laced house wigglers which combine old and new wonderfully and >chicago take< is no different.

there seems to be a bit a mystery around this record... and let some of this mystery remain. these two remixes of a fairly obscure song are pretty well known to the public, as for the last year or so they were regulars both in live sets of jacek sienkiewicz, and dj sets of ricardo villalobos. right now these two artists share credits to this obviously outstanding release. >pilgrim< is a vital, mesmerizing, uplifting piece of magic. one can assume, telling from the unusual, muezzin-like chanting, that it comes from some forgotten oriental library record... in fact, it was written in the seventies by a respected polish composer and extraordinary vocalist to the words of 19th century polish poet. now you can hear its modern, not to say futuristic, interpretation by two of the most forward-thinking electronic musicians from two different sides of the globe.
