support : richie hawtin / tobi neumann / villalobos / dj hell / onur Özer / karotte / gregor tresher / butch / david keno / popof / monika kruse... though the last heckmann - silverscreen is still rotating on the decks of the planet and in the cases of the great entertainers, he strikes again with his brand new series called las vegas ! it will be a story of three 12 inches that will lead to a complete cd album with extra tracks to complete the whole ! the main track las vegas is rushing in like a storm and is rocking as if there was no tomorrow ! fat beats, fat bassline and countless little far out effects, that will tickle your synapses big time ! the second track neon grave takes the story further and will lift even the last man on earth with its electro-latino feel, illuminating bassline and the heckmann style effect-arrays

the professor has been responsible for bringing a whole host of names to the forefront of the electonic music scene with people such as dj distance, emalkay, afterdark, the others, untold and his latest find dark angel. when not running the boka empire, js is busy in the basscore studio and djing around europe.

bitches brew are back with their next wild installment - purple somersault. if the previous release was filed under country dub tronica, this release is psychedelic surf cosmic disco. kind of like link wray wipes out with giorgio moroder. an interesting and rather beautiful concept, in fact the whole wild rumpus story is rather interesting and beautiful. two pioneers of forward thinking music, but from very different backgrounds combine to make the kind of music you simply cant ignore but at the same time cant quite put your finger on.

global player vincent vega (resident: ministry of sound sessions in st. petersburg) meets twinpitch which had just a big success with her latest singles >nonstop< and the result is a real electro-house smasher with some progessive elements. the violin arrangement on the original mix is the perfect contrast to the electronic sounds and at the whole line reminds a bit on >yellow - the race<. the sunday noon mix is the minimalistic version of the track. on b1 is a very strong remix by gorge

twisteds first 12 on grid of 2008 is the start of a whole load of fresh material we?ll be hearing throughout this year, with 12, eps and a collaboration album with zen in the pipeline. >shit don?t stink< is a message to all those who think they?re a cut above the rest - twisted has come to tell them that isn?t the case!

respected uk remixer and house producer charles webster rips into one of the most played tracks from dennis ferrers hailed album the world as i see it. how do i let go started out as a soulful r&b tune but charles turned it inside out. on his club mix, charles removes the soulfulness and injects a more electric lounge flavor. his deep mix is just that, a profound pumpy, warped & heady affair. both mixes put a whole new twist on the single and are ripe for the early or late set.

patterns introduces another killer on the hot and running imprint. this time its boriqua tribez who has made an even bigger follow up to the big time seller patterns 31. houze arrest can be described as pure tribally beats and big time energy throughout the whole track creating the perfect dancefloor vibe. the flip is as big a burner as the a-side, just spin it and see what happens

a very special compost release with two very rare tracks! the a-side features a great remix of beanfields >tides< with amazing vocals from bajka - of course its not quite up there with the unbelievable carl craig mix but then that would be an uphill struggle. ripperton from the lazy fat people adds his moody, deep slant to the track, less anthemic than carl craig but a more than welcome alternative. this mix was available for a short time as bootleg with ricardo villaloboss remix of depeche modes >sinner in me< on the flip and sold out quickly despite the poor sound quality. finally, one year later, this great tune sees it official release completely remasterd in chrystal clear sound - get it, play it, love it! in 2006 the duo tom wieland and marc frank - better known as 7 samurai - crafted a fine remix of invisible sessions under their panoptikum moniker. when michael reinboth considered this remix for his new future sounds of jazz compilation the guys decided to contribute even a little bit more: an excusive new version which became a definitely highlight of the whole compilation. the panoptikum 2007 remix surprisingly takes a leaf out of innervisions book for a smooth deep houser with a slighty techy sound and a touch of detroit in the vein of Âme or henrik schwarz. in contrast to the vocal version included on fsoj this 12inch features the trippy instrumental version. ace stuff! two must have tracks - all killer, no filler!

now, after almost a whole year martin moeller strikes back with his second release on aspik. cool sub-heavy minimalism two tracker

this isnt just another disco record, this isnt just another bunch of tired re edits. what you have in your possession is the collaboration of a worldwide band of dedicated music lovers. the product of many early mornings and late nights, emails, files and myspace communications floating around the world wide web from chin stroking scientists in the us, uk across the european continent and as far east as japan and australia. possibly the first ever co operative dance music project to come from this fast paced future we find ourselves in. a joint venture that makes the world feel a whole lot smaller – history in the making. to be played very loud in discos!!!

in the beginning the was a dream, a dream to become part of the living womb of good music. a dream of being real, true to myself and i set this dream to fly high. days and years passed by and i didn t seem to find response but one day in the arkest hour came the light and then i knew i had to hustle it s a song about my determination to express myself widely whitin the realm of good music, won t be selling my soul, won t be taking the easy path, its all about what is real, training harder and harding until i get what i want: the pure sound of goodness for the dancefloor, for my life and the whole world. that s how i hustle. abicah soul confuzed well this track started as another track but i took the sounds from anohter track put with this that how i came up with the idea confused .i started listening sounded good i stuck with it.onw word deep stephen rigmaiden jeepin basically jeepin was done and i was listening to acapella s for like 2 weeks trying to find the right vocal snippets. my thoughts were how was i going to get franck s interest? i knew the track was done but for him to pick it up it needed a vocal. then i came across the perfect vox. i used a montage of a few different vocals, some hip hop elements, some jazz elements, some gospel elements, ill leave up to you to decipher. i knew i wanted a raw, kinda hip hop type of feelingas well, something you can get on the dance floor and go uggh!, that s my shit!! or damn i gotta get in that circle and show em whats up! i made it for the dancers out there, b- boys, house dancers , or jus ya regular club kids. trying to get the crowd hype is always my intentions , i feel this track does jus that. now get on the dance floor and recognize the sound!

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard

ghostbusters is one of the most famous movies from the 80 s and so is the soundtrack! now it s time for the new soundtrack - packed in a new groovy style. produced was this new version by the one who is also responsable for the project steve n king and the rap vocals are from no one else than dj van tell who is the support act for the whole forthcoming 50 cent tour.

one of the best justice tracks ever !! incl soulwax and boys noize mixes. on the a side, the whole phantom story is related, part 1 + part 2. on the b side, soulwax bring their trademark, a meticulous sonic exploration plus some extra sensory abuse thrown in for good measure to the head-swirling disco violins of phantom pt 2. peddling a noisy , pummeling and instantly likeable electro-house style, boys noize is responsible for this big out-and-out phantom vox mix!

when we released the first atom-1 with hertz, we couldnt believe how big it would grow with support from the whole swedish mafia (lekebusch, mull, ozgur etc). this time hertz is back with 3 new tracks to die for and a remix from ozgur can (truesoul, pickadoll, harthouse, mouseville) that will do the trick! we call this funky, minimal techno at its best

off-key limited is a new subsidiary label of off-key industries whose aim is to give exposure to new artists alongside established producers and to bring a wider range of genres with less of a focus on the dancefloor. each release will be strictly limited and will not be repressed. we start by raiding the off-key vaults to unleash a series of releases entitled >the dust off<, featuring material written in the off-key studio over the years by matt o brien and various collaborators and associates. matt kicks off the ep with >a new page turns<, a bangin dubby detroit techhouse cut driven by a low slung rhythm and analog stabs dripping in reverb, overlayed with a melodica riff which calls to mind the smokey refrains of augustus pablo. next up is >untitled< by newcomer mat gates, a beatless slice of electronica whose understated melodies conjure up thoughts of late summer evenings of times gone by. on the flip, o brien and gates combine under the artist name kimble to bring you >epiphany<, led by a shimmering melody underpinned with haunting strings which combine to form an electro track of rare beauty. this diverse ep is completed with mat gates second contribution, >in a hole<, a drum n bass track with a disjointed, skeletal rhythm, sub bass drops and fragile, melancholy melody.

this time, doctor pepp and doctor hugg investigates the secrets behind the pappas mechanism that is the source of the love explosion. in the 2007 report >pappa love mechanism and it social economic studies< we have tried to cover the whole process from the first eye contact on the dancefloor to the sucessful stimuli of ollon and completion of the explosion. it is reported that at least 52 sucessful explosions inside the mamma during 2007 (percentage of error 3.45%) where produced under assistance of the special hugg & pepp frequency spectrum in our test envrioments. we are very proud to present this spectrum in two separate files, the pung spectrum and the ollon spectrum, each one being specially designed to meet the high level criterias of today. the pung spectrum has a base frequency of about 75.5 hz for wich most pungs will be mostly efficient. how ever, this special spectrum has such a rich and joyful tonal range making contact on the dancefloor under influence of alcohol is no longer necessary

new release from russian label stepsine, which is very promising insight into the russian breaks scene. >da bass< is very well produced, tight, sexy party tune that is getting hyped up by the whole baobinga,30 hz crew, for those who love booty bouncin basslines

number 1 steve bug charts !!! redshape is len fakis musical partner of podium #05. with releases on delsin, styrax leaves and present he is regarded as on of the most exciting newcomers on the dance music circuit. few producers have achieved to delevop such an individual approach to detroit techno, few musicans managed to rough it up so relentlessly. redshapes track is an interminable battle against stagnation, each bar of the track bursts with musical creativity. on >whats on a moogs mind?<, this genre building synthesizer turns into a brain. the moog overrules all conventions of musical form, the machine becomes an unpredictable furious beast. the 808 cowbell develops an uncanny, emotional quality. a techno track as gripping as a cliffhanger. len fakis >odyssee ii< relates perfectly the dramatic tension of redshapes track. the absorbing sounds just soaks you in. through the whole accoustic journey of the track, you feel his sense for the special athmosphere of the berghain which reminds clubbers of a medieval cathedral

an incredible full album from dinosaur l the legendary new york dancefloor project of arthur russell! the groups a punky, funky, chunky amalgam of bass thumping, guitar riffing, keyboard filling, and sax honking all very much in the spirit of russells best quirky club work of the time, but with the added sound here of a more expanded approach one that takes the tunes in a whole new territory than the more famous 12 inch singles! the tracks on the set are simply numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on and come across almost as free jamming instrumentals! totally great stuff as experimental as it is funky!

originally released on the evolution sub label symbiotic. actually this is one of our personal favorites from the complete evolution/link/reload/global communications catalogue. one of the more overlooked masterpieces in the whole i.d.m. scene (i hate that name). but a masterpiece in techno history. mark pritchard took things further where the original innovators from detroit stopped. a perfect combination of beautiful and forward thinking music without forgetting about what brought all of us into this music.. the excitement for rhythms that make you move!

mr. hawtin, locodice and the whole minus bunch is simply loving this one !!

sven dohse is back to knock you off your feet with two more magnificent tracks. crusher means to break your bones not with violence, but force-wise. this dry bassline just pretends to be tame – like the whole ensemble does in the beginning. but initial conditions change persistently until you awake twirling in a gloomy moment of house. so compulsive it stinks. so offhand it hurts. so self-evident it makes you wanna scream. way after midnight weaver uplifts out of a sentiment of infinity. warm layers of sound come floating above an abyss hardly indicated. time barely scratches the surface of this pocket epic telling you on and on again: tomorrow never comes

big with magda, ricardo villalobos, vera, luciano, dorian paic !! kreiskollaps is the track which starts the new oslo label,having proofed its ability to rock dancefloors nationwide. christian burkhardt presents a slice of contemporary minimalism, adding lush atmorspheres and rounding it up with a deep pumping bassline. think thats enough? wait till you here federico molinaris remix, hes already showcased his remixing skills on raummusik and 8bit and takes the whole thing to another level. its more on the housy and hypnotic tip but still maintains the whole context of the track and is sure as hell going to move your butt. also dressless by christian burkhardt is more of a housy affair, groovy as hell complementing perfectly the ep
