played by dj karotte !!! sammys debut on goodvibe records is an interesting and solid debut. 5 tracks, 4 on vinyl and 1 bonus digital, made with a strong >dance< attitude inside. inspiration came to sammy from his daily life. bad things do happen. how we respond to them define the quality of our life. sammys strengths as a producer is the way he employs everything he does in service of a deep and groovy mood. one can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of everyday losses, or can choose to rise from the pain and treasure life as it is.

hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. citizens of electronica we have come down from the holy mountain to bring you the new formatik! once again with an a-side smasher psalm by the chief preachers format b. catalogue number formatik 005 shall purvey the word of the all mighty upon the dance floors. a holy place where the opening times often coincide with the sunday mass, unfortunately time is sacred so that when hearing the >gospel< there shall be little time to close your hands and pray as the nuns will already be body groovin in the aisles. with the once cold and dank air of the church at boiling point and its radiant smell having already attracted new guests, in this case super flu with their antichrist remix adding some soul to the hooklines. we say hallelujah, hallelujah!

the third and final remix package for mathias kadens masterpiece album -studio 10- comes along with two reworks of mathias vakant label mates onur Özer and dewalta. onur Özers >hâre remix<, a massive, bass driven rework for kadens >chazz<, takes the track to a deeper, more jazzy level, until it fades out with a dreamy yet abstract melody after 11 minutes and counting. david koch aka dewalta takes on >ikenga< (an african god of time, success and achievement), which is surely kadens most played track of the album. david maintains the acidic vibe of the original, adds his very own funk and sends the track back to the dance floor.

sheer beauty coming once again from kirk degiorgios art label, made by the third man and remixed by vince watson.

>dance to the music< recalls the vitalic spirit of yesteryear, laced with smoking disco loops, rubberband basslines and a cajoling vocal hook that sounds so bright you would swear it was crafted with pure sunshine. the dub reveals a sexy bassline and those signature soularis beats. on the flip the boys dish up a a slice of deep house pie with high noon, dedicated to that green, sticky substance. mellow chords and marijuana endorsing samples make this song the perfect way to start off your mix-tapes and live gigs. the chill-out mix is a beautiful 7 minute smokers delight, complete with spine-tingling strings and downtempo rhythms which will leave you more horizontal than a few perkies and some choice lager.

first on decks.de !! a two tracker of smashing minimal poetry.

detroit is the first single from double night time, the upcoming album from morgan geist and his first solo artist album in over a decade. it features two epic, gorgeous remixes from grammy-nominated remixer carl craig and features vocals from jeremy greenspan of junior boys. after turning the dance music world on its head with his metro area project (alongside collaborator darshan jesrani) and mining rare disco gems with the seminal obscure disco dj mix unclassics (2004), geist decided it was time to turn his attention to a solo album. detroit is the lead song from the album and (as careful listeners may discern) is based loosely on 24k

after a lengthy break from the electronic music world, genotype is back with an lp for exit records and provides a lesson in stripped back dub influenced music at approximately 170 bpm. having started his music career in the mid nineties under the legendary alias just jungle, with releases on the massively influential labels of that era such as trouble on vinyl, renegade hardware and reinforced records, its no surprise that he has managed to capture the essence of rawness in his recent music akin to the early years of jungle. many producers have tried and failed to bring back the old skool sound with an original flavor but genotype has managed this by resisting the temptation to lash in the tired old classic breaks and instead has drawn for the more organic sounding percussion and drum kits. the dubbed out theme runs throughout the album paying homage to his love for west indian music which he has been involved in for many years and naturally influences the music he creates. genotype is a man of few words and prefers to let his music do the talking so check out the album and draw your own conclusions.

nice price deal !!! prinzhorn dance school announce their return with new single – >seed, crop, harvest.< we havent heard a thing from tobin prinz and suzi horn for three years (their debut lp was released on dfa back in 2007) but theyve been far from work-shy. they toured extensively, then came home and built their own bespoke recording studio (the red shed) – and learned how to use it. time consuming endeavors which saw them drop off the music radar. which might just explain the title of the equally charged b-side >off the radar, off the system<. in their own words: >weve been busy. just not busy making records. you have to live too. you can only write so many songs about motorway service stations and airports<. they recorded and mixed both songs themselves in the red shed, with bob weston taking on mastering duties. …prinzhorn dance school are back! and dfa could not be more proud

our dutch counterpart onno is known for his dance floor mastery. his after school ep on upon you was a multifunctionalmover that could teach any lethargic raver a few aerobic moves. >hit me< is in the same league and is completely unsuitable for yoga and pilates, so hes succesfully targeted the blonde dance instructor once again. onno brings the a1 fatburner to a peak with his charming impertinence. thomas schuhmachers pimped version of this awesome rave stepper on b1 tugs and pulls at your pants dragging you kicking and screaming to the dance parquet, where you soon realize that you never want to leave, but for those of you that want to lose some weight also know that you always need to condition yourself and >ghetto talk< on b2 is the perfect bouncy tune for that hour or so on the treadmill.

lee holman strikes us down with some seriously deep rooted techno, bombarding us with elements of gabriel and curtin cutting into the mixes.
the first track on the ep is seek, straight forward hypnotic dance floor business elevated by shaking percussion and vocal stab. search hits us straight away with deep detroit feelings shivering and unwinding as the track progresss, you get to see why lee has released on labels such as ferox, fine art and voorns nightvision imprint. found has to be highlighted as one of the must haves on the ep taking us on a journey right from the off. beautifully layered pads mixed with a tight and funked up bass line. berlins mike dehnert hits in with his signature sound of deep late night bass heavy groovin techno, twinkling and making every bone in the body jive to the off beat, a serious ep with serious intention.

re-issue of this 1984 electro-disco release.

a limited edition latin soul brothas fusion rework session! 1st is a remix slept on by maws louie vega (who waited too long to put it out), a rendition of hector lavoes >mi gente< that is absolutely amazing. on the flip, santanas >dance sister dance (baila mi hermana)< gets reworked for a big dancefloor tune. highly recommended!

dance disorder (aka baby g and robin crafoord) have lived up to their reputation with an extremely successful bpitch debut. the disco smash >zusammen<, with its epic breadth and italo dance roots, has already had the chance to set many an after party in motion.

adultnapper, real name francis harris, is a philosophy phd drop-out with punk rock roots. hailing from suburban las vegas, he has called brooklyn home for the past 9 years - a stretch in which he has gone from >hating dance music<, to establishing himself as an underground dj/producer with a unique sound and a global audience.

gunnar stiller has always been known for producing dance floor >destroyers<, even if >far from okay< sounds a bit like a floor wax accident theres no need for the timid raver soul to get worried about slipping and falling. soft accords sedate the mind, the bass pumps in the adrenaline and a voice softly whispers that everything is going to be just fine…all you need to do is dance. when the janitor loko mops over the uy 038 floor with his remix you can even walk over it on the highest of high heels. it does in fact, get a bit rougher when the lights go out on >some kind of weird< and the smoke machine goes starts pumping. thats when its >black piste< time and thats no place for heidi klum or techno beginners…but who wants to be a model anyway, right?

classic italo disco 2009!!!
