well rounded kick off 2011 with the deep space bump-n-hustle of littlefoots aptly named >interplanetary< ep.
all 4 tracks contrast tuff dry drums & low sweeping subs with cosmic atmospheres and twilight melodies and chords. theres a unique strictness in the drums here, less swung than typical garage but with innovative programming that shows a producer keen to explore new possibilities. as ever with well rounded and our producer friends, we are celebrating influences from the past - think classic 4/4 uk garage in the vein of dem 2, mixed with early 90s rave sounds and welded together in a motor city car plant. with added post-dubstep production sensibilities, littlefoot is creating an unheralded hybrid sound. all 4 tracks contribute to the completeness of the ep - we go in hard, explore different areas and complete our journey with the last track. we hope you enjoy this trip.

a message from claude vonstroke: >sascha braemer has got the funk! i first heard him on the amazing thrill on kindisch which i charted in my top 3 tracks of 2008. after that i heard the even more amazing heinrichs and hirtenfeller album dark orbit, (my favorite album of 2009) on highgrade. i usually like to break new dirtybird artists but this time i had to go find this guy and beg him to make us something. sascha has got that tech-funk, caveman quality that is so elusive and hard for me to find as an a&r. and on this record you will hear why i went and found him. this is an absolute beast! both tracks are tried and tested club killers. truthfully, i cannot think of a better dance-floor record on dirtybird this year<

feat remixes by art department, wolf + lamb & sideshow. simple celebrates its 50th single release in the new year (and each one of those 50 have been released on that wonderful black stuff known to old people as vinyl). a release that will see the founder, a&r, label manager and tea boy will saul and his long term production partner tam cooper team up for a limited edition gatefold vinyl double pack ep (yep, theyll loose loads of money but not many people get to 50 vinyl releases without loosing their house, car and mind so we think its worth celebrating. the release will feature 4 new tracks from will & tam with remixes from wolf + lamb & slow hands, sideshow and art department (jonny white & kenny glasgow).

here comes our second vinyl. it is also a va as our first vinyl was. containing tracks from fog & arara, monoroom, manu-l & paul cart and remixes from sasch bbc & caspar, yapacc, mahony & bog. we think this vinyl will suit anyone tastes, containing tech-house, house & deep house tracks. enjoy it.

party breaks unabashedly shows its colors with 4 new brilliant marcos cabral edits. with samples ranging from boogie, to piano house, to a beefed up disco ballad, marcos layers sounds and phrases in an effortless manor for major effect. sometimes robin s will peak through, sometimes bob-a-rella…all within a strict drum machine groove. all the tracks were clearly built with the dj in mind, repetitive when wanting to hypnotize, and pop when wanting to catch listeners.

stenchman continues to turn heads with the third release on his stinking label, bovinyl moosick.

!!vinyl only , ltd repress!!! yo hermeneutics! acid pauli (console, notwist, electronist) knows where the shoe pinches: we all need more soul. marvin is like these rare double groove vinyls, where two songs running parallel, (you may think oops the needle is hopping) well, in the middle of the tune the striation crosses, and then it ooze out soul and the sun rise

i dont think i know, or heard of, anyone who share the same obsession in searching obscure disco records like kool dj dust (real name daniel savio). call him at any given time and he is in some flee market or second hand shop on the look-out for records. he even got an apartment just for his collection.
we talked about the idea of re-releasing >un-googable< music, old stuff that is not only very hard to find, but also so good that re-issueing it is an actual cultural necessity. dust tossed around with a few ideas and finally these three songs made the cut. we are very happy with them!
we hope you are too. we are also happy that we have the support on this release from so many djs. some of them being rune lindbaek, in flagranti, tim sweeney, horse meat disco, 6th borough project, parlour, dj rocca, bonar bradberry, parlour, hugo capablanca, cousin cole et al.

after the previous sold out 12inch featuring edits of dusty springfields thats the kind of love i got for you and supercharges think im gonna fall in love, the mysterious disco 3000 returns with 2 further inspired choice edits of music. an early production of carol jianis hit & run lover is chopped up and re-mastered for todays dancefloors, whilst an obscure b-side from 80s pop charges alphaville is re-edited into a proto industrial gem. bet you didnt see this one comi

marco resmann has done it. the studio computer is purring again like a satisfied kitten and those dark technical storm clouds have passed by. to prove that a streak of technical bad luck which he has just gone through can sometimes enhance creativity he has come up with this little gem of a new single >drop outz<. on a1 we have >mal pas< (transl: difficult road) which is an ode to the suffering he went through with his computer. but dont worry, its just a name, the track itself is as light and sweet as the stuff that we love from marco. b1 is also little beauty, no dark clouds to be found here either, and b2, a cracker called >whats cracking< is the ultimate proof to anyone that the sun always shines at upon you. enjoy and always think happy thoughts friends

it’s with a lot of excitement that archipel’s boss himself releases a vinyl extract of his album’s favorite tracks. while the album which consist of 2 cds, we thought some of the works would fit well in the hands of collectors who would push the tunes in their quirky sets. the opening track, titled “big trouble in little cave” is one that could haunt a techno party in berlin where in the breakdown, things just go out of control and while you think you can’t take anymore, the music takes you back to earth. tests have proven to be used with care, reports indicate some people reacted with a lot of noise. “dérape totale” is perhaps a cross of four tet releasing on raster noton. awkward combo indeed but the strange structure on top of weirdly arranged percussion is set to catch your attention and draw you into an inner journey. with the chance of having manchester’s dncn join him for vocals, pheek goes with his first interpretation of what a pheekie-pop tune could be: fun, intriguing and catchy! >follow the flow< is the closing track and is one build tension with surprising exploding percussion clashes on top of melodic waves.

now a full time member of australian super group empire of the sun and 1/3 of the genius of the swiss we honestly dont know how sid found the time to make this heated late night gem. all we do know is arthur russell was integral in his life when he turned it out. echoed moans and whispers, chunky bass line, percussion, arrangement and everything else involved in this 8 minute and 22 second burner are all by the shirtless gentleman of the night you now know as sidwho? session victim is matthias reiling and hauke freer, their house and techno adventures on delusions of grandeur and retreat records have been rinsed out many a time at our future classic parties and all around the world so we knew it was time to get a remix. some guys and gals might think this is too deep or minimal, you just need a bigger sound system!

nice price deal !!! after more than one year slash co-owner ahmet sisman is back with his brand new solo ep! the playing with acid ep is an unapologetic combination of raw-deep techno and electro-pop influenced house music. and as we know it already from mr. sisman, he loves to combine different genres and create his own distinctive flavor! the a-side playing with acid is a pure synthie-baseline dominated track whose melody is drilling through your head that you won’t forget it so easily. this trapping hook line is coming along with some poppy vocals which are giving you a slight association how is it feeling being totally vaporized in the mind. we say, be careful when you playing with acid!!! feel today think tomorrow has a different approach while the ingredients remain the same. it’s the more melancholic side of this record but also filled with pure energy. the guitar phrases creating those feelings between the struggle and harmony in life, and like the title indicates: live today, pay tomorrow! no return no regret is the more poppy side of this record. the b2-side is a mixture of modern elements bonded with the refreshing vibe of the contemporary 80s influence. this fusion is a naive approach of pooling different styles in one track with the intention to create something timeless. even its poppy elements doesn’t seem to allow it we going to love it for a long time and we hope you will feel the same! this three-tracker ep contains the well known “mr. sisman-ingredients”. although the difference to his previous productions laying in its details. find it out for yourself and above all: enjoy it!!!

the hugely anticipated debut release from bakey ustl on this firecracker sub-label is finally in stock. >a tender places< is an off the wall, dance mania sampling stomper that really fucks with your head. think smith n hack meets moodymann multiplied by your wildest dreams. already getting praise from the more forward thinking house djs such ben ufo, jackmaster and joy orbison. this is one of the house records of the year and comes with that firecracker seal of quality, each copy is screen printed by hand and comes in a japanese plastic sleeve. limited as always, please don t sleep.

2010 has seen some juicy, off-the-wall techno/electronic vinyl goodies from the head space of little nobody, including the acclaimed >metropolis how?< and >robota< records - with remixes by the likes of james ruskin, justin berkovi, inigo kennedy, dj hi-shock, si begg, patrick pulsinger and steve stoll. but its the originator of the tracks who continues to push the perimeters, recently leading hi-shock, the prolific innovator behind the essential elektrax empire, to suggest that honestly, i think you are at least a couple of years ahead in your musical vision compared to other producers. little nobodys alter ego andrez bergen has also had his head buried this year in the creation of a hardboiled/noir/sci-fi novel called >tobacco-stained mountain goat<, and it was in the midst of this project - with these heady influences - that the get away from it all 12-inch project came to light. thus we got on board bas mooy (planet rhythm/audio assault) and dave tarrida (tresor/musick) to do the two scintillating re-takes here, which are downright brilliant. meanwhile little nobodys troll, on the flip-side, lives up to its claim: its hardboiled and devastatingly dirty electronica. all up, think streetwise, smack-your-glitch-up techno - dark, uber-bassy, dirty and pulsating - just the way we like it, with sardonic samples and a freestyle, postmodern attitude thats invigorating. matched up with the cool artwork by marcin markowski, this is an essential slab of wax for 4:00 am head-caving techno!

big with: sven väth, mandy, joel alter, laurent garnier, timo maas, deetron, dustin zahn, matt john, joris voorn, claude vonstroke, ramon tapia, shinedoe, martin eyerer, danny tenaglia, speedy j, dubfire, paco osuna, osunlade, ... no matter where you spent your last summer holidays , davide squillace or luca bacchetti were there to rock a club or a festival near you , spreading the hideout sound and life style around europe and beyond . but dont think the two accomplices only spent the last months hanging out on sunny beaches when they were not behind decks or waiting for their next flights. they were plotting for something big : deconstructed revisited. deconstructed revisited is a brand new series of releases , bringing friends and artists davide and luca like and respect into the family.

its been a while for mr lovebirds and also the label teardrop to serve some fresh slices of homemade house jam. well, we think it better not to put out every bonus beat we program and rather wait until we have something that really deserves to be thrown in todays pool of musical randomness. do we sound bitter again? sorry, for that … must be the age. so … love & happiness. yeah, i want that and probably everybody does … well here ya go: its a slick slow house bomb with proper oldskool 909 drums and some sliding portamento chords that wont never leave your head!! at least until the breakdown when this track takes you even further back in time to that beautiful intro that has rarely been used more beautifully. its been tested for months now by vincenzo, phonique and mr bird himself and devestated every floor so far. let me put it this way - this is biiiig!!!! flipside is the rain - classic 90ies deephouse with a touch of kerri which we all love right? this has the typical lovebirds warmth that we all need in these modern techno times. and in this autumn too. none other than mr steve bug took care of the remix and delivered a superb very 90ies new yorican style version. keeping the warmth he added some percussion to it and turned this into a nice builder. enough talk … we are very excited about this release and looking forward to your full love on this one. play it loud and everywhere!! and maybe even chart it if youre a good lad!!

if youre a fan of techno, we have something you might be interested in. have everything a true pan-pot fan could ever wish for - think dark and heavy, builds and drops, synths and loops - true four a.m. grit to get your hands in the air and keep you raving until dawn!

joel boychuk, aka hobo, with a killer 12 inch, bassheavy techno monster, think flat beat (mr oizo) transformed into 2010. bang.

jatoma are all about the unknown and though they are new amongst us they remain cloaked in paradoxes and already questioned by many. some think that one of the members is a famed producer amongst 2 genius teenagers.
others project they are a side act for a band held in the highest regard. some will speculate they are just trying to get more attention by remaining unknown. the facts remain blurry and ambiguous but there remains an clear authenticity surrounding these factors - jatoma are clearly one of 2010s most inventive new acts our ears have had the pleasure to hear and its with our excitement we welcome them to kompakt. so enter their self-titled debut full length - >jatoma<.

public lover (ninca leece & bruno pronsato) return with another single aimed at bringing you into their humid world of dance music. naked figures is a bassline-driven story drunk on percussion and beauty. a track built on abstraction and elegance. a track quiet literally naked from its humble beginning to its anti-climactic ending. it’s an unassuming journey of class. it’s ninca & bruno uttering scenes of nakedness and dim lights… but is it a love song? we think not. it’s not about a one night stand either. it’s simple. it’s funk. it’s house. it’s techno. more importantly, it’s about making you dance. on the b-side, one half of the duo, bruno pronsato, steps up for remix duties.

working a strong vocal and soothing harmonies with classic new york garage style, paul simpson and colonel abrams have crafted a warm and interesting vocal house record that entertains while getting the listeners head and shoulders softly moving in time with their hips, leaving them not to contemplate the origins of bleeps and whirs, but to bask in the here and now. stripped down to the basic and classic elements of house beat, bass, organ, vocals and piano >could it be?< ponders life after break-up without distraction and reminds you that you are in no hurry to be anywhere else. its fine right here so take the time to think about the what the colonels singing and enjoy it. we’ve all been there.

we bring you a special one this time: >got a soul< is a rework of todd terrys classic >house is a feeling< that has been brought right up to date by warren fellow & michel steinbach who have done an amazing job of giving this track everything it needs to rock the dancefloors of today whilst still keeping the infectious funk of the original.
we think its time to bring back that old skool house groove of yesteryear !

nice price deal !!! comes with coupon for free mp3 download.

new york, chicago, detroit? nop, boring shizzle!! just try miami!! sun, butts, flamingos and music! only an idiot can think this way! the bar is for sure the answer to the question: what is the most important part of the house? so what is more obvious than crowning a house-track with a vocal by the person who enhances life to the bar and to the party as well as the dj? luna city express wants to build a monument for the ones bearing this responsible task and say thank you, together with enliven deep acoustics. they want to pay homage to the person every visitors welfare depends on! so just imagine the bartender not only leverages your drinkable luck but also sings for you! not only sing, just utterly make the party to an unforgettable experience which makes the dancefloor to a trivial idea. everybody who is pleasured by this record is forced by associations which will make her or him hugging the person behind the bar!!

we would like to dedicate this release to our colleague and good friend aaron-carl who passed away on the 30th of september 2010. during the whole process of creating and thinking this record with ivel, aaron has been supportive from day one. he was a great musician and an amazing human being. his loss has affected all of us. it is very sad to think that this will probably be his last remix to come out, thus making this record and his remix even more meaningful. out of all the words aaron could have chosen out of martin luther kings speech for this remix, he chose the phrase >i just want to do gods will<. i think that god, if theres one, has called him by his side way too early. life will continue, aaron-carl and his music will stay in our hearts

qu keeps showing how the house sound can be streetched in ways you didnt think possible, or at least probable. twisted and deep!

gavins mix has proven such a favorite, in fact, that it sent populette back into the studio to refine the original so they stand beside one another better.we can think of no greater compliment than that!

3 funky and solid italian disco edits! think tulio de piscopo

after his brilliant caprica burning release on connaisseur superieur in summer 2008, ghosts will be chymera second cooperation with us, and as we think, the perfect follow up. the irish-man seems to be a restless fellow.

wave music presents its newest release under the milk & honey moniker with additional production by boyd jarvis. the original long version is a beautifully drawn out symphony of strings and jazzy keys over a sultry downbeat and lazy vocoded vocals. consider this gold for fans of 4 hero and all lounge-core/downtempo fanatics. the flip however is boyd jarvis uptempo dance floor phenomenon. inserting a heavy and pumping bass line and adding xylophone arpegios alongside congas, organ synth and space atmospherics make for one wild galactic journey. think kevin yost remixed by salt city orchestra and you are right on target. slamming!

just when you think the mau5 cant get any bigger he teams up with wolfgang for a real club monster. one sided limited pressing

everything from a small room. a few friends joke and start to record something.. something strange, indecipherable, or maybe just their souls. a voice begins to sound diffuse, catchy, distorted, hot. what happened to them on in that room don t know, but it was enough to convince us that this was a true story, unique ,inimitable. hooved was amused to construct a simple, yet many artists have come out of my mind, since the scsi-9: anton e maxim have made a pop song like this phoebe, that seems to be everywhere, but didn t think hitherto.. barrytone, new project of korablove, we delight rolled, cuts batteries and more pressing reason, unlikely to fade in your shelves. echonomist in greece seems to fall after many years in his bedroom, and start playing with the same old things, but with the eyes of this. finally tuccillo helps us find a very specific connotation, destination, disco. vinyl seems to sail on his last tour, but in the digital ve rsion will still expect the memories: l original track of hooved, version reinterpreted version of the cool voice hvoya, and the last train, the remix of dualism. a man and a woman summed up in just under 13 minutes all monsters and insecurities, words and glances, the soul of a gesture that turns into projects, loop, hours, bpm, second. apparel is pleased to present phoebe ep.

the martinez/mesteo remix of the club classic >under the water< is the first leg in a series of remixes to be patiently released throughout 2010 - initiated by one half of the original brother brown outfit, atle, now operating under the moniker one brother. the martinez/mesteno mix has only been sent to a carefully selected handful of friends and family around the world (less than 15 movers and shakers). simply to see if we can give this mix the longestpossible and well deserved (we think anyway) run for itsmoney. please do enjoy!

when was the last time you were properly surprised by a record? we think parisian duo remote pulled out that kind of trick here. a tiny dot in an ocean of bongo-tech-house, an outcry of disapproval of the far-too-widespread uniformity of todays club music, this is what this ep is.

a small 10 years after his debut >first born second< (and 4 years after the shelved >love for sale<), soul sensation bilal drops his new album!a provocative genre-bending album that dissects love, politics and relationships, >airtights revenge< demonstrates the philly-bred singers growth as an artist. >its a mix of jazz, hip-hop, soul, blues, and experimental free music< says bilal.

space junky is the track that first brought bosco delrey to public attention, landing him pieces on the fader, rcrdlbl and elsewhere. it features his typical excess of influences- semi-psychedelic guitars, bedroom soul hooks, splurting dancehall reggae basslines- anchored down by solid songwriting and lyrics. it s a weirdly great combination that made us think this guy might be on to something. my my racecar is harder to pin down, but no less intriguing with a chopped up guitar lead, mouth pop rhythm section and zipping bass. the drop the lime influence shines on these two tracks, lending heavy bass, sound effects and making everything crispy.

japanese based, dry-witted, multi-instrumentalist, max essa, docks his yacht to the good ship bearfunk once more. this time its the title track from his soon-come lp >white shoes blue dreams<. the original morphs things on from his pundit-pleasing beach and summer grooves onto an 80s tilt. the original mix is full of slick grooves and melodic musicality. maxs own >marbella< mix discos things up with a catchy keyboard riff that makes one think of a certain van mccoy, floor-filling stuff. fellow bearfunk sailor, roberto auser, is up for remix duties. his angular dutch grooves strip things back and make things refreshing and cool like he does with just about everything he touches. stay tuned for the second max essa album on bearfunk in the autumn.

hailing from leipzig in germany is an artist whos music has been pricking up many ears across the global underground over the last few years. its hard to put a finger on what it is about kassem mosses productions that make repeated listening a must, but the intricacy, fresh arrangements and musical depth definitely play a part in attracting labels such as the highly respected techno imprint workshop, the legendary soma records and now nonplus are honoured to present his latest 12 inch. a) kassem mosse – >we speak to those< first up on the a-side we have >we speak to those< a 4/4 track of the highest quality that keeps you guessing from start to finish. the rugged and raw kick and bassline immediately set the foundations for the incoming awkward chord stabs whilst reversed beats lazily slur in and out over the main groove giving the track the unnerving feeling that its almost changing tempo. random sound effects and a non conforming arrangement make this track about as predictable as the english summer. one listen to this and youll immediately understand why this artist is getting love from some of the scenes biggest players at the moment. aa) kassem mosse – >hi res< phased drum machine breakbeat patterns and stutered percussion redolent of the early detroit techno uprising give this track an outstanding quality of being able to conjure up the same feelings of hope and optimism for electronic music that the aforementioned era managed to. thought provoking chord progressions take your mind on an excursion to the future and leave you gagging for an extended trip. think skyways, flying cars and towering metal buildings footed with dark abysmal underworlds and youll get the drift. they don t come much deeper than this one

what an absolute stormer, for those of you who have never heard this record, get ready to be blown away. initially out in 1992 inner citys pennies from heaven was just the most perfect house anthem, i think it was kevins tunnel mix which was the killer mix, here it has been strung out just a little by the slow to speak people. all the crucial elements are still there, amazing vocal, the most uplifting of pianos, ridiculously simple yet deadly bassline and fantastic crisp garage beats. really they dont get much better than this, watch em go on nye when you drop this. awesome!

fresh up is the top secret, just-for-fun label started by a legendary electronic producer based in the uk who has close ties to the rephlex camp. think kraftwerk, giorgio moroder, george clinton and dam funk in equal parts and you are on the right path. this is the first release from the new label which will specialise in strictly limited edition 45rpm singles showcasing the finest in new-old-sounding library funk, moog disco and vocoder boogie sounds.

lucky number 7 with more jazz funk greats… this is how we do it ...

!! vinyl only !! färden is a new stockholm based label from one of the guys behind the office - stockholms number one underground party! färden is focused on the raw and rough sounds of techno and the first release is from >maskin ljud< - an alias of an established stockholm producer. färden 001 is all raw and minimal analogue action! think early daniel bell. vinyl only!!

sam sallon is a hugely talented singer songwriter, whos acoustic-led folk-pop brings to mind legendary uk artists such as nick drake & john martyn, as well as more contemporary artists such as devendra banhart, iron & wine, vetiver, etc. two of the uks finest producers have taken samÆs beautiful, delicate original song and taken it into new territory. leo elstob a.k.a. leo zero transforms samÆs acoustic original into a chugging, footstomping, sing-a-long balearic end-of-night-anthem. think the beatles baby you re a rich man meets the aliens robot man, with a subtle hint of (and donÆt let this put you off) wonderwall! begin is the new recording alias of back ii basics & bugged out resident, chemical brothers tour dj, apprentice fishmonger, and officially funniest man in europe without his own stand-up dvd to sell, james holroyd. james applies that subtle, euphoric begin sound to the mix, which is destined to be the soundtrack to all your sunsets this summer. this is sure to be one of the records of the year

of course we think this remix ep is amazing. of course we think it contains bangers. of course blablabla ... lets just cut that crap ... mixhell, les petits pilous, don rimini and vnnr all simply puked out some remixes of the subs vomit in style ep.

remixes by gio di leva & think factory, christian cheval, gigi de martino and john revox.

founded in 2009 by monsieur yami and johnny theodore baargeld, terpsiton wants to reveal the crucial things in music, underground, passion and critique. detroit was yesterday, today is dadatroit. the first release terpsiton #c offers a review of classic house roots mixed up with a straight techno attitude by the yet unknown kai von glasow. listen to 4 raw punk tracks then stop and think.
