a two track 12 inch of electrifying, catchy and simply deep underground music. side a, espac ( the shorter name variation of espace), is a funky, moody and cosmic sound sculpture that fits well into the minimal tech category. this track contains a bass-laden brass morphing sound which converts to a more trumpet horn like sound. the loudness and resonance of this lead sound will definitely grab the attention of the audience. strings from outer space, claps with a live funky feeling, shuffled hats and a radioactive background noise >wicked!!! side b, f.e.b., contains more morphing and electrifying hi pass resonance chord sounds. these sounds are combined with a warm stringful waving wall sound, a heartbeat like pulsating bass line and a simple offbeat playing open hi-hats. this track is relaxing but exciting at the same time which is sure to pack the dance floor!!

bushwacka! brings the pain with two more must be heard techno monsters. both tracks carry the signature bushwacka! journey sound taking you on a pure audio tour. as always strictly limited vinyl release… back on top rocks and we mean rocks! pure hands in the air goodness, purpose built for the dancefloor. the all important matt b cymbal rides and a groove that only bushwacka! can achieve, guaranteed to take any crowd straight to the next level. grated goes deeper and fuses early house drum loops (with bushwacka!s trademark harder edge of course) with simple stabs and a groove laden bassline to perfection. a percussive assault of epic proportions. we defy anyone to be stood still when this one drops!

the original mix of tape replay is nearly nine minutes long and can only be described as a journey. its the perfect transition track, able to turn minimal sets into future disco, a house set into electro-funk, a techno set into a live jam-a-thon or a rigid set of any kind (like too many these days) into something with emotional depth. for remix duties we have enlisted our favorite producers will saul & tam cooper from simple records. much like their tech-house revision of phoniques bang, recently released on dessous, here on fresh meat they have put together a subtle yet bassy response to the wow & flutter original. the track builds and builds and at about three fourths through it explodes with lush keys, rich pads and a breakdown thats executed perfectly. these gents are on point and we are more than excited to have them along for the trip.

nu school of deep house ! baaz music has matured so much in a couple of years, it is now something very special, that appears simple to your ears but is indeed properly produced and incredibly deep. baaz gained as well with hes recent works hes very own sound signature that is really incredibly sweet, groovy, intelligent and properly swinging. we think that this is one of our pearl record and we are simply proud of pressing it on black wax. dont believe the hype, copies remains copies, the truth is in the original !!

>chariots<, the simple debut of james priestley and dan berkson, is a luscious house treat. driving percussion and throbbing keys move towards a crescendo through airy synths while the classic piano melody comes in to send the dancefloor to a blissful climax. soul and melody with a tight little groove, everything we at simple love! acclaimed frankfurt duo motorcitysoul, who made their aus debut earlier this summer, turn their hand to the remix. rotating clicks and punches move towards an ever intensifying push, while melodic whispers gather around the central chord progression, combining to create a deep and dreamy finale.

a fresh new three album track remix ep containing mixes by charles webster, the long term deep house maniac who serves to be an incredibly good choice, will saul, label owner of simple and aus, and a final remix by the man himself phonique. the charles webster remix of worked it out starts off as a nice thudding beat with a crisp minimal click on the offbeat, until an echoing vocal sample swifts in and around starting off the soft but pushing shoulder shifting bass line. smooth piping reverbed blows outline an almost euphoric melody, a very trippy and atmospheric tune with soft cymbals pattering away in the background. soothing sounds and housey chords mix perfectly to make a chilled out dreamy beach tune with a nice progressing beat. a swerling bridge with a 90s casio chord melody steps in and then fades out to the echoes of the vocals drifting silently away into the sun. on b1 its the will saul remix of bang. dun, dun, dun, dun, whoosh! - then a descending high minor melody calling with an electric bass response. squeeky bird sounds and weird reverbed chords makes you feel like you‘re in a crazy dream falling and falling yet the beat keep you stable and composed just about! an out of tune dungeon computer game. strange but true and also very interesting!! and finally, on b2 its the phonique version of space cruise feat. gui borrato. trekking through a spaceship journey tune with mechanical functional sounds releasing here and there. a repetitive two noted melody comes in and fades out, is replaced by an array of spaced out tones, arrivies back again, meets up and resounds into a fanc

yes! format b are finally back with their second release on stil vor talent. after massive tracks on opposum and highgrade rec, their newest ep on stil vor talent is another huge minimal monster. kongo time is typical for the two berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum n bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. its definitely going to make you trip out for sure! on the flip its the funky mondo time that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. a huge organic subbass and some chopped-up vocal sample add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4:00 you really won t be able to hold your feet still. format b are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!

if zox was a sculptor, his works would be angled and polished, simple and magically effective. no sound on this record (which is called >more fluff<, which astonishes me) hangs around too long between the acrylic clear beats, the square waves are bellied and cold as vodka from an iceberg, the higher frequencies refreshingly cool as hills in the highlands, and straight lines are the dominating theme by far. this is dance music in itself. the basses live in rich bounteousness which is strictly controlled, though. why boom it when you can bang it? perfect shapes, functional beauty and a refreshing taste will rock you.

excellent release by one of the most revolutionary artists for deep house in spain, his name, jesus gonsev from cuidad real. the manchego native rounds out the tenth vinyl release of house cafe music with a definitive american sound from the early 90s. the future of this artist looks bright as he is poised to release more records on soul cafe music from south africa and gotta keep faith records. next to me, the title track of this ep brings memories of the productions of steve bug or gamat 3000 from the dessous glory days, lots of groove with simple elements which make it both mixab le and danceable. so deep, has already garnered the attention of house legends such as larry heard and ame, who have already included this track in their sessions.

this is the first ep on flash recordings that doesnt feature label owners florian meindl and oliver koletzki. but they have made sure to look for a quality replacement. no one else than cologne-based artist daso - renowned for his previous releases on labels like mbf, session deluxe, ghostly and connaisseur - teams up with his buddy pawas to create their first release >night express< on flash. pawas has just had his first record out on adam krolls and markus müllers imprint squonk records and has been a dj for 9 years, moving from india to cologne one year ago. on the a-side daso & pawas foreshadow the summer with the track >tgv<: a beautifully deep melody that swings along a powerful loop. >ice< - the name of germanys high-speed train is clearly more electro-driven. a slightly broken beat with a thumping organic bassline pumps above an ever-changing soundscape that culminates in some euphoric high-pitched synths. never too much, this is a perfect example for elegant understatement. also on the flip side is the track >bummelzug<, which translates as >very slow train< in german. this is a dub-techno masterpiece. deep dubs and arpeggios flow over the simple beats with a great clappy snare drum. dreamy, hypnotic, melodic! flash recordings has just become fit for the summer

heres two new uptempo instrumental tracks from lindstrom just in time for the summer. breakfast in heaven sounds like something edward grieg could have made if he ever got a chance to work with sequencers. blast of loser is a percussive track with distorted clavinet-feedback on top of simple rolling drums. bol has been remixed by mungolian jet set last year, but its about time to release the original version

another incredible, time- and boundariless offering from john daly with waves of distorted synth incessantly ascending, overlaping, collapsing over a simple but effective house beat gently pushing you into a calm state of euphoria. flip over for a beatless ambient version reminiscent of experimantal 70s synth music

kaoz finally gets techno mastermind robert natus for a release on his imprint wired. a great 3-track ep which offers more than simple distortion sounds and beats. this is definitly the evolution of hardtechno and shows the creative skillz of robert

argyris theofilis, aka argy, is one the brightest rising stars in modern dance music. born in rhodes in 1985, argy moved to london in 2003 to focus more on music. with his roots in bossanova and new york house, he began djing at the age of 14. only in the recent london years he expanded his music tastes towards a more electronic sound developing special abilities as producer. he released on poker flat, raummusik, shallow cutz and simple records. while argy reserves live performing for more ambitious album projects, he has been blowing away the crowds of prestigious club nights with his dynamic, colourful and sensual dj sets

the irrepressible cobblestone jazz present the first single from their debut album >23 seconds<, forthcoming in september on wagon repair. cobblestone jazz produce their tracks live, with a strong emphasis on improvisation, and the trio of programmer tyger dhula, keyboardists danuel tate and mathew jonson, make full use of their formative jazz training to transform the musical outfit into a pragmatic and responsive unit, a living and breathing creation, free of formulaic sequence. >lime in da coco nut< is a potion brimming with transformation. cobblestone approach a simple key melody from every angle imaginable, with the harmonies, disharmonies, bubbling accents and rhythmic permutations exposing the otherworldly potential of the simplest of tunes. a sinister whispered vocal conducts affairs, seemingly flustered at its inability to contain the unruly elements in this wonderful experiment. on >saturday night< a deep synth line and ghostly vocoded moans progress through a jungle of percussion and falling echoed tones, steadily approaching a beat that enlivens like water on a desert journey, or rather, like vodka on a saturday night. the dizzy finale spins around your ears, a bit like the ceiling after a particularly heavy weekend adventure… be sure to be well rested before tackling this sensory safari

in the a side, undo & vicknoise, the masterminds of the label deliver their most tense and baroque track ever. to the simple kick-snare of the beginning they add progressively a distorted and powerful bassline, and omnipresent xylophone and some sub-aquatic melodies factor city school that will give you the creeps. sistema and his other self in full-moon nights, show in >te tazas< its best-known face: dark and epic tunes with a slight taste of 90s sound. hands up for mister coromina with >dancing and confused< he delivers what will be a sure hit forgetting the sound we were used to listen in his productions alongside undo. as you hear the track and its persistent jaw-dropping bassline, the best productions of carl craig and Âme will pop up to your mind showing clear influences of the new generation house music. youll dance more than c3po in a gargantuan spin-dry machine !! supported by: laurent garnier, funk d void, kiki, the youngsters, stefan goldmann, donato dozzy, mathias kaden, sian, glimpse, jesse somfay, karotte and angel molina

incl. huge jamie jones rmx !!! after ripping up dancefloors across the world with their acclaimed first release from glimpse, the hypercolour squad returns with the debut release from label co-owner alex jones. >hash key< opens the ep with a snaking riff, stripped back, chicago-esque drums and a sweet blend of old-school vibes and edgy, up-to-the-minute attitude. simple yet smartly put together, its a useful tool for darker, late night moments, with distinctive echoes of poker flats patented ware-house grooves…

unique version of detroit minimal !! old sensibilities are used to guide basic progression along a path of tweaks and burps. ticks, clicks and melody are used to hold together the shifting center of a busy bop. soulfully simple synths combine with warm bass lines, and churn their way toward a shared end

back in 1993 munichs into somethin crew started a clubnight entitled maiden voyage. the idea behind it was simple while the successful weekly into somethin sessions set up by michael reinboth, florian keller and theo thoennessen in 1989 kept on providing a take on the current state of dancemusic from a jazz djs point of view the guys wanted to etablish another night dedicated strictly to the classics. jazz, soul, brasil, boogie and disco have been on the musical menu at maiden voyage ever since. michael reinboth and florian keller still love to play a set at maiden voyage every now and then but both guys left the ships bridge to concentrate on their variety of other projects in the late 90s. theo and rainer were joined by roland appel of fauna flash, trüby trio and voom:voom fame instead to form the infamous threepiece that kept on keeping on ever since

the cooperation between lindstrom and solale (aka isabel/christabelle) started in 2003 with the release of >music (in my mind)< as the second 12inch on feedelity. now finally they ve decided to do some more music together. this first single from the album that they re currently working on is a slow disco-number based on a 5 minute vocaljam (first-take is always best take…) together with a fat bass-arpeggio and some simple guitars/keys here and there. the lyrics doesnt necessarily pretend to be anything more than a >practise<, but is nevertheless quite good we think ! on the flip-side there s an amazing dub-workout that s given us from a friend that doesnt wanna reveal his identity

digitalism presents their zdarlight original reworks and the compelling erol alkan edit of jupiter room. the mash up is devastating, let there be terrorlight now !there are loads of rock bands making music for the dancefloor. digitalism make electronic music that everyone can rock to.digitalism initial release on kitsuné remains their best known: zdarlight. the heavy dance tune, with its acidic undercarriage, lilting guitar line and stratospheric climax, is distinctive enough.the parnoid asteroid mix presented here is the beauty behind the club beast, a full effect rework driving you through an emotional break while keeping your feet moving.then the basement trash tryout mix si explicitly underground for all you punks, digitalism recorded live with guitars !jupiter room edited by erol alkan : two breaks, a monster is born ! huge effect with a simple idea, thank you erol, for another compelling electronic record. there has not been an electronic act with the potential to cross over on such a scale since daft punk and the chemical brothers. it s been a long wait!their forthcoming new single pogo from their first album, entitled idealism, will be released on may 7th

the fourth release from tiefschwarzs souvenir imprint comes from tom mangan with >mysterious ex-teacher / texas<. as one half of cass and mangan, tom mangan has released on fine records, tsuba, saw, wall of sound, loaded, front room and playtime and has remixed the likes of the scissor sisters, infadels, royksopp, daisy daisy and tiefschwarz. >mysterious ex-teacher< is eight minutes of dreamy synths floating on heavy stabs of dubby-electronic bass and >texas< is a smooth ride that fuses a disconnected spacey top-end with a simple forward-pushing b-line

the music is playful, ambitious, simple, complex, fun and melancholic and not at least. it is extremely animalistic. they have an album >animals< ready to drop in 2007. elephant s parade was played completely live with drum machines, synths and analogue sequencers. the duo like to record this way (compared to stuck infront of the computer) as they get more free in creating a specific and spontaneous feeling. here one might imagine a big gang of crazy elephants getting lost on a psychedelic parade. in the middle of the track things are getting a bit weird, perhaps too much amarulla fruit, which gives the second part its childish and naïve playfulness. on the flipside bird song has a dirty, noisy, trippy vibe with a little touch of basic channel sound. shake a tail feather !! played by anja schneider, karotte, tobi neumann, troy pierce, woody

when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

new schranz tracks by svetec, alex calver, dj lukas & o.b.i and mad man

tony senghore is no stranger to the world of electronic house music. after countless releases under various monikers including records for paper recordings, music for freaks, underwater and seasons he now graces john dahlbäck s incredibly successful pickadoll imprint with his particular definition of driving & playful dance-floor insanity. way out is based upon a non-stop bass line and perfectly embodies tony s advanced musical temperement by including oriental melodies and fierce efx. careful you don’t lose control on the dancefloor! ‘way off’ on the flipside displays his ability to combine bass-heavy rhythms with simple, keen riffs – but no less mental for it!

a brand new label out of chicago headed by melvin oliphant a.k.a. traxx, amongst other aliases (saturn v, green goblin, dirty criminals, xxart, villan x etc). this 12 inch relives the simple based synth and prototypical rhythm manifested from the early age of electronic dance

next up on oliver huntemanns label dance electric is ladomat artist and graphic designer ascii.disko aka daniel holc, mostly known for combining the dark & melancholic shades of wave & alternative rock to floor rocking electro trenched dance beats. >closer< is no exception from this rule, a super simple and keen bass upon some fierce drum programming build the perfect ground for his seductive vocals. incl club mix and arnaud rebotini (blackstrobe) remix

looking back to a great year, we find david k from the freak n chic posse being one of the most successful newcomers in 2006. freak n chic stands for a kicking mix of techno and acid sounds, which are blended with some house. dj friendly, very danceable but still demanding, with elements of deep house and minimal house…whereas >tender and sugar< seems straighter, darker and more minimal, and the fat but simple beat is the driving element, >mayann< comes along with strong reerences to >Âme< and its synth sounds remind of >rej< or productions of >pasta boys< from italy

titel wie >es scheppert wie def leppard< sollten allein schon den kauf rechtfertigen. wer mehr gründe benötigt hört sich >keep it simple..< oder den tollen koze mix an

simple but very effective electrohouse smacker from a minimal heart

the master of simplicity is back on with his second release on karmarouge. the story behind the titel goes like this. saint patrick was a christian missionary and is regarded as the patron saint of ireland. he banished the snakes from ireland and some irish people say that human snakes replaced them. sian asks himself if we might need a new modern saint patrick? the a-side track >stegosaurus< is a creepy, slow builder and melodic track, somewhat like a placid dinosaur. >merman< on the b-side is a more melancholic, angelic theme with hidden melodic patterns and messages. born in dublin ireland, raised gypsy style in southern spain, sian, aka graham goodwin has worked in music since the age of 17. now 28, he has produced and released electronic music consistently and has worked with diverse artists during this period. his productions are arty, unique and childlike simple, he works with sounds as blocks of bright colour and makes music for both the club and mind simultaniously. sian believes that electronic music is more than just an interesting theory, it shapes lives and his dj sets are well known for sweat, eclecticism and positive energy

jake childs requires very little introduction to the more discerning house ear. with releases on leading labels including drop music, freerange and doubledown, not to mention his own uni.form imprints, he has taken the house world by storm over the past few years. here he serves up some retro chicago sounding yet stripped back jackers. seems really simple at first, a real trademark of jake s sound, but its bumpin bassline, bleeps and squelches grow around you becoming more intense with every listen. the flip delivers >good times< which incorporates his brand of choppy jackin beats, punchy snares, gritty synths and rolling bass that rips apart any dancefloor. the track flips mid-way and bubbles under as the bass lines compete for attention before recombining for another roof raising moment. the >beat machine< is an eerie voyage into the middle ground between house and pop. once again moody synths and a growling sub bass lead the way, with the haunting vocals of lil prince (who has previously featured on jake s icon and drop music eps) gliding over the mix! hot floor burning shit

la s roger dickes drops a 4 track ep of deep, laidback house grooves built around a simple, creamy rhythms designed to get bodies close together. sexy instrumental cuts heavily influenced by disco, detroit techno and late nite house grooves. a trip back in time..
