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.

munich man dario zenker is back again for his second vakant ep following 2008s >sam und er/womde!< (va019). still fresh faced and just as hungry, dario continues to bring the bavarian goods to our freaky masses. a side -would be nice- makes more twists and turns than a sausage factory while consistently pumping out the mystery meat thick and juicy. if you want freak, thump, space, expanse, its all here. b1 -blue champa- is perhaps more on the vegetarian tip: light, nutritious, guilt free and always leaving you a little hungry. fun and bouncy, -blue champa- easily proves that you dont need to eat meat to get phat. at b2 position you will find -while rain gets air-. we have no idea what dario means here but if you were asking yourself >wheres that track on this vakant record that wont let close my eyes at night cause i heard this track at 7am and im still a little freaked out,< this is it. listeners beware

when a producer of the calibre of pete heller, with an intricate knowledge and understanding of the history of house music, started experimenting with an old roland 303 in the studio over a dub of a track hed been working on, there was only ever going to one result – something very special indeed! so taking a few days off from studying for his masters degree in digital media, pete heller crafted another stunning timeless club track. when john digweed heard the resulting sabotage he swiftly signed it to his bedrock label and agreed with pete that the track should be remixed by the mighty tom stephan and his london based iranian sidekick kamisshake.

well known on the dnb and dubstep scene for his fiendishly twisted artwork, uk creative genius monsta is also a beast of a producer. in this, his third release for subtrakt he teams up with >mr key< to bring us >space raiders<, a vocal dubstep demon of truly gargantuan proportions, so huge, in fact that it threatens to bring down mankind itself. or maybe its just a packet of crisps? dean rodell bravely attempts to contain the threat on his remix, but an army of space raiders march up out of their packet and flatten the whole city using a supernatural arsenal of sonic weapons that pull down skyscrapers with rasping bass and fry a million brains with shrieking sirens that can be heard in even the far corners of the galaxy. on the second remix dnb hero >raiden< stands up, and the guerilla war begins. taking his inspiration from the paranoid b-movies of the cold war era he morphs the original lead sounds into something so spooky and bizarre the space raiders have no choice but to pack their flying saucers and piss off back to zetareticuli. phew, that was close. supported by maryanne hobbs (bbc radio1)

an unsigned trio consisting of members from wales and northern ireland, two door cinema club make no secret of the fact their rhythm section is computer-assisted. likened to death cab for cutie and broken social scene, a few imminent uk dates are followed by european shows. every now and again a song comes along which, once heard, feels like it has become ingrained in your skin - and this is one of those tunes. a quirky combination of electro-pop and indie, the key lies within a relentless beat combined with an airy guitar riff. add in harmonious vocals and youve an infectious ditty, but whether it falls on the side of genius or annoyance may change with repeated listens

ricardo villalobos playlist!! the endless white of the far north. the opening melodies of adam marshalls >north at night< can be heard faintly over the whistling wind. a small black dot appears at the centre of the distant horizon. at first it appears to be still, but gradually we recognize movement. over the next few minutes the shape begins to grow until it has defined the image of a man walking towards us. as he approaches, the music grows clearer. like the warmth of the first sunlight >rose mountain< radiates its glow through the use of a flurry of rhodes electric piano chords. adams signature percussion permeates the dub and binds its elements into an infectious groove. >mfb flex< is the counter balance to the organic flow of the other cuts and molts the warmth into a techno roller designed for the long player mix. marshall said… >ive long been intrigued by that incredible tapestry of tundra and taiga which constitutes the arctic and sub arctic of our country. ive read about it, written about it and even pulled up my parka once and gone there, yet, like all but a very few canadians, ive had no real experience of the north. ive remained, of necessity, an outsider. and the north has remained for me a convenient place to dream about, spin tall tales about, and in the end, avoid<

one year after his first ep on cargo edition, kostas tassopouls aka ekkohaus delivers to the label another incredibly strong release. the native-born greek, now living in berlin, has developed into an skilled producer who rides the line between techno and house. the combination of reduced, hypnotic and impulsive arrangements with a subtle deepness are typical of ekkohaus’ sound, demonstrated perfectly in the two tracks of this ep. “unsound” is characterized by his smooth, almost elegant rhythm. a repetitive meandering vocal sample weaves through the track, sounding familiar yet haunting at the same time. the track is already played by many key dj’s and is definitely to be heard more often within the next months to come. “moon talking” focuses on a more standard vocal which gives the track some pop-appeal. at the same time the introverted male vocal introduces a very catching harmony which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the dancefloor. with this ep, ekkohaus cements himself as one of the modern-house talents.

italian born, berlin resident dj/producer enzo elia is on fire, alongside studio partner martin patino hes fuelling record shops and download platforms with some of the freshest deep house sounds around, he proves it once again with >elen< an electronic deep journey leaded but the catchiest vocal melody we heard in a while, on the flip martin patino takes his duested hammond out and develop his mix around it, kinda unique deep house with and edit to die for. keep an eye on those guys,

inigo kennedy keeps pushing the boundaries of techno into spaces, no ear has heard before. constantly grooving atmospheres, fading between moods ... and again 3 cool loops to play with.

so this is how it sounds when osama is behind the decks somewhere in the afghan mountains... brilliant! too bad there are no women or booze allowed, or we d all be there. hot on the heels of the great mike burns release the rubber room guys are back with a new devil. taliban discotheque is a superb track, with a chorus you re not likely to forget after you heard it once. incredibly strong bassline, great percussion, thats all a good track needs! on the other side tonights the night is indeed a soundtrack for the night, this is going deep! essential for all you heads out there!

nice price deal !!! you may have heard obamas voice already....but this interpretation avaiable only as a white has been consumed by dave morales! keep an eye on it!

a first class house tune with melodic synths and a warm bassline. the original mix is fascinating with a catchy hook and hypnotising vocals based on a cool driving groove. tried and tested a hundred times at his club dates, this track promises to fill up the dance floor. on a special club date when the boogie pimps heard a first demo of yostar! they were immediately thrilled and directly wanted to do a remix. so we can look forward to a perfect remix package completed by a crazy techie christian fischer remix

the soul clap boys from boston who come up with the next airdrop outing, outdoing themselves every single time. it’s becoming increasingly hard to hammer them down to a certain sound or aesthetic as their thirst for innovation is just unquenchable! >puppy crack< is a potent dance drug and should immediately be banned to avoid further brain damage. dripping into your drainage like some highly potent acid, the track breaks down into the wonkiest mayhem that clubbers ears have heard in a long time!for those who like it darker, the ragged >beat the puppy< tool is the one! not beating around the bush but rather beating the poor squelching animal, the track rages subliminally, gripping tight around the neck with a metallic beat that should have any old party dog wagging its tail rhythmically while the voice filters in causing uproar with its build-up.call in the ambulance and hope the doctor saving you when your overdose is mikael stavöstrand: he is just such a fine balancer and knows how to dose right: >puppy crack< becomes a deep entrancing affair with squelching noises and hypnotic synths that underline squeaking and clicking effects. slowly the whole affair culminates in an evil addiction you did not even notice you developed!

dj roland clark hits us with another soulful stunner. his artistic range over the years has proven his dynamic ability to go from spoken word preacher to hard house vocalist to pure soulful singer as heard on this current release, goodbye love. upping the ante on the remix is sole channels own supreme nyc producer alix alvarez whose production on the aa sc vox mix is the exact fit for this song. his sc fly dub is slightly pumpier and deeper for those who like to keep the bass heavy and the head groovin.

kenny >dope< gonzales and terry hunter are mass destruction - and their weapon is created by larry heard! 4 edits of >blackout< in finest new-york-style as a teaser for their upcoming album >kenny dope & terry hunter present mass destruction<.

opening with orchestral provenance usual alternative has all the epic presence of a lord of the rings re enactment society annual dance and dinner. working up to the drop with classical samples before hitting with one of the heaviest basslines we ve heard all year (alright, its only january, thats not the point...).

a track is a track, is a track is a track. but not every track is just a track. trackletons stands for much more than just tracks. on his debut ep you wont get to hear the substandard generic ordinary music that can be found everywhere. he has it all. disco, house, minimal, techno, you name it, he brings it. welcoming our latest act >trackleton< with his first appearance in form of his >jump ep< adds a variety of deep styles to this 3-tracker like we have not heard it a long while. the a side is a detroit influenced dance-floor sweeper with melodies so deep and beats so sharp that will leave no escape from making heads turning and get your feet dancing. b1 plays it cool all around the bass-line, laying things down in a old-school sounding manner - minimal to the bone, but done so cleverly to ensure that the basics simply sit right and will get you moving. the b-2 track then surprises you with more than just a hint of disco that will be standing out from the norm and creates a nice diversity. one does not often hear music so warm, on point, deep and yet fully dance-floor oriented

sonic, one of the busiest german house-djs, teams up with multi-talent taste t for the 2nd time on amused records. on >eighty eight< they express their musicality by using acoustic sounds in an electronic base frame. a piano plays the leading part and gives the track its name with regard to the 88 keys of this instrument. once heard you will not get this melody out of your head! on the flip the stereodudes add a stronger drumming and a powerful bassline that kicks ass!

rezkars fascination with music began with his parents record collection. listening to local radio stations as a child, he heard 80s tracks. as an adult he discovered the magic of 60s and 70s jazz and funk. one day, his cousin played a track that he immediately fell in love with. he later learned that this was house music. he discovered the fruity loops sequencer software and thought, why not try to make my own tracks, after all, it cant really be that hard? deep house can sound deceptively simple. its a bit like japanese anime, rezkar says. it looks so cute and easy to draw, but try to actually draw it, and you will discover its even harder than realistic drawings. the thing about house is that if you try too hard it can come across as being very cheesy, but then again, if you dont do enough it can sound incomplete. finding the balance is not easy, rezkar admits. after hearing his music, one finds that he is learning this lesson quite well.

traum is proud to welcome the new wunderkind from the uk, max cooper. max is a great uk dj who is also involved in mathematical modelling research on the evolution of networks of genes at university college london, a sci-art project combining evolutionary and music production algorithms. max cooper has many lives and he is a true wizard in his category. born originally in belfast he has been resident at the rumour as well as playing his 9th year at clubnight >firefly<. max can be heard regularly djing in the key - london, stealth - nottingham and the cross - london. he was quickly recognised by the media, receiving the label of mixmag future hero . max has joined traum with a 3 tracker involving top english producer kanio for a remix of the a-side track >harmonisch serie<. max coopers innovative programming positions him music-wise alongside artists such as dominik eulberg, minilogue and extrawelt. his epic structure has a unique narrative character to it which distinguishes him from others and sometimes dares to become almost soundtrack like, full of ambience. maybe this is best expressed by his b2 track >i< . his debut on traum is a unique sound sensation of incredible details and big sound layouts, as if made for traum. melodic and gentle but at the same time energetic and full of colours with a sci fi edge to it! max has also remixed extrawelts >im garten von eben<

electric arguments is the first fireman album in 10 years, and this song based album couldnt be more different than its predecessors. for those who dont know by now, the fireman is a collaborative project between music icon paul mccartney and revered producer youth. the pair first worked together in the 90s when they made two ambient dance albums. originally the firemans identity was anonymous and was eventually revealed by the press as being paul and youth. in september it was announced that the fireman would this year release their first brand new material in a decade and this time there was a big difference - the duo had found their voice. speculation began, one studio insider was reported as saying the new songs sounds like arcade fire meets led zeppelin. certainly so far, anyone who has already heard the album has commented on just how accessible electric arguments is, compared to the first two fireman albums. this album is an eclectic and diverse collection of songs that show paul is still interested in pure musical possibilities. each track was written and recorded in the space of one day. the fireman went into the studio with no plan or clear direction of how they wanted the album to sound. the project took a life of its own and the results will surprise anyone expecting to hear the previous sound of the band.

get digital is off to a blazing start after the release of the mini hit >kaskazi< from simon baker and jamie jones and the well received travelling the world ep from the fresh and talented mac neumann. now we are proud to invite the veteran thomas schumacher who has produced with elektrochemie & dj t. and recorded for legendary labels such as bush, gigolo, get physical and his own spielzeug schallplatten. schumacher is a true producers producer and we are sure these two distinctive orchestrations are sure to love up the dance every time. >hot< is something that would come to mind if one heard the word >picanha<, in passing. and without a doubt the main track >picanha< is hotter than a stolen jalapeño in july. precisely layered percussion, meticulously situated effects and drums tuned with minutiae detail are the backbone of this track, but the groove comes courtesy of the schumacher brass orchestra.

the third installment in the catz n dogz vinyl series is a showcase for two standout songs off their album stars of zoo. >sf< is a throwback to classic house tracks, with a modern twist - a playground full of joyous children have invaded its sly, bongo-laden grooves. yet these precocious youngsters are only part of the story – the beats insistent and ever-changing swing never lets up for more than a couple of moments. >2< is more ominous but no less effective. its primary percussion enters like springs filling up an echo chamber, gradually morphing into several competing themes that weave together throughout the track. 2s bass is a serious force, creating a physical presence that must be heard on a large system to be believed!

amazing christmas edition !! be quick.. incl the biggest underground christmas song i ve heard for a long time ->tanz der zuckerfee< big with kollektiv turmstrasse, someone else, gorge, steve lawler, martin eyerer, oliver klein, jussi pekka, p.toile and many more..

another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

this record has been in the making for some time. originally, hott 22 created a track called, &#147,i feel love&#148,. bonnie bailey heard the song, loved the track, and wanted to write lyrics to it. bonnie and eric kupper went into the studio with hott 22&#146,s track to record and produce bonnie&#146,s lyrics for it. after we heard bonnie&#146,s performance, we were extremely excited, and asked the legendary eric kupper to create a new remix. shortly after, we asked thomas gold to work his magic on the track and he created some real gems to an already solid package. finally, the alter ego live element had to get in on the project as well, and produced two more floorfillers.

ndatl muzik continues with its second release power thru pt 3 from label honcho kai alce with haunting vocals from azulu phantom. this actually has been floating around the waters of atlantis after missing the cut on kai alces debut the kaizer e.p. on tracknmode in 2002. after the original has been played by some the worlds elite larry heard, theo parrish, moodymann, funmi ononaiye, carl craig & karl injex . it now resurfaces with a new redefined energy from frances mush, who approaches power thru pt 3 with a new refreshing classic minimal feel that brings new life to kais already timeless chords & production. mush teams up with saxophonist daniel brothier to give you a dub very reminiscent of the conversation. the 12 is rounded off with more 2 come which its deepness embodies its title

thank you arthur is an amazing reworking of arthur russells classic dinosaur l track go bang re edited it into a dancefloor bomb thats radically different from the original complete with an insane guitar breakdown lollipop is an incredible edit from atlanta house legend kai alce best known for his tracks on moodymanns mahogani label and larry heards trackmode imprint

the robert owens vocals are so intense and emotional that it gives you goosebumps all over!. maybe even stronger is the track itself. a one of a kind track with a totally unique groove and a bass line not coming from this world. the dx sound that makes the track so powerful sounds like some kind of mutant machine that is going to get you and eat you. and the sublime combination with the robert owens vocals makes this the high light in the history of house music. the original version has been released on larry heards own alleviated label (1987!) and the bootleg instumental was released on r&s.
