talking about the dawn, who know is better than lexy and nobody is more gifted to transport this feeling into a track. new day dawning a subtile flowing track, perfectly suited to welcome the next morning, again and again and again..the crazy, weird and nuts duck is circleing on the river of minimal straight forward sound, disguised as the psychoduck. watch out for the upcoming remix package of new day dawning, its gonna be huge. lets speak a little bit more about the artist. since lexy moved to berlin 1997 he was getting more and more popular as a dj. today lexy is dj, producer (lexy & k-paul), faschion addicted and a graphical wizard. what he likes best: rock the crowd as you will probably notice when you listen to this tremendous record

after the two releases african salsa and parte dos mancha recordings comes up with the third release love and pain. on the a side rik elmonts tracks tint and somewhat like love come along very rough and playful. dry sounding, interlaced house structures allocate both tracks. the tracks on the b side are a bit more dubby. marsmellows and zero in something are releasing their first tracks on mancha recordings.

bearweasel are london-based duo dean muhsin and louisa page, a pair who in less than a year have a string of singles and remixes for some of the best labels around including 8-bit, tsuba, supernature, perc trax and murmur. the >sorry for nothing ep< is build around two original recordings, >risk< and >many more< and also features a remix from moon harbours dan drastic. first out of the gate is the original of >risk<, a track built around a shuffling percussion led groove. the spacious arrangement, intense stabs and low-key bassline lend a depth and quality to this cut that make it truly sublime. simple, understated yet devastatingly effective. next up, dan drastic reworks >risk<, turning in a remix that stays true to the original whilst imprinting things with his own sound. the drums are toughened up and the vibe is a little more dubbed out, providing an alternative that sits perfectly alongside bearweasels primary production

safe and sound comes our starting in the spring of 2009. when first flowers bloom and the asphalt smells sweet a bit like summer, then spring-time is just around the corner. the spring in electronic music is expecting the next vinyl by hammeschmidt & lentz. this lp is a high-quality creation of musical arts including inspirations of new expeditions through parts of the world in the recent past. three of these expedition reports are now available on a 12 vinyl. the main result of intensive research is: if the slogan yes, we dance! would be more present at more places in the world, it surely would be more pleasant in whole life. well, say yourself every day: yes, we dance!

ltd backstock !!! label chief and king of nyc late night mythology, francois k returns with a bit of his patented deep space madness. starting with a tempo reminiscent of a 45 played at 33 1/3, a delicate plucked bell-synth bathed in a medium hall reverb leaves ethereal impressions and late night energy. as the melody drops a minor third, another enchanting counter melody joins the mix and adds a rather divine legato styling. after the lead fades out, a percussive interlude full of syncopated noise hits develops: leaving room for a break that reintroduces the main vibe and instills a sense of resolution. the flip carries a remix from quiet village, who has been starting deep space nights with positively solid performances. taking a more club-hyped approach, this rework pounds forward with a massive rumbling kick drum and an underlying noise wash. the main lead gets some serious filter and delay treatment making for a more progressive drive and a versatile dancefloor hook. tweaking things a bit at the break, the melody morphs into a sort of latin-minded groove with portamento glides, edited accents and sharper hits. still keeping the passion and charm alive, the new demise accents francoiss tasteful tune while boasting contemporary excitement

carl sagan back on go!freitag with another nice shuffled piece of techno. while his own mix fits more the little bit moody, groovy samstag-side, alex bau again delivers a remix for mr. sagan for the more edgy technofreitag

detroit disco is a brand new label which combines detroit techno with some old and recognizable disco arpeggios. this first release on detroit disco is a two track 12 inch with the title track hands up by g. hands up by g is a rocking floor-filler based track on a catchy arpeggio melody that reminds a bit like donna summer. filtering up and down giving you an optimal dj friendly old skool crowd pleaser. on the b side you will find the economist remix which has a more neo techno approach. with some devilish sequencing and filtering this sounds a little like some work the economist did on lessismorecordings 004 with the track too much but that is why we asked him to remix

wonky electro infused house & electro mixes by boy 8 bit/trg & mad decent!

support by superman, spiderman, batman, catwoman, captain america, rambo and all the super heroes on the earth…. ali kuru (8 bit / plak records) for his debut on kailash delivers 3 tracks really complete! beats sophisticate and percussive with a deep house touch!!! delete aka sergio munoz (safari electronique) made a dancefloor remix 100% techno. just wonderfull and powerfull ep!!!

hailing from vancouver toby emerson has had tracks out on labels such as system recordings, bugeyed, and monster tunes. tobys music usually does not stick to a specific genre and brings in elements from electro, house, trance, and rock music. djs such as paul van dyk and judge jules have been known to support his music. here we have a straight up club monster with remixes from filthy rich & 2 bit adding to the package nicely.

after his successfull midnight vultures ep last summer oleg poliakov is now hiting the winter with this new ep of what he called datcha music. for his new output on circus company the mysterious man delivers a beautifull deep house killer plus a bonus high class remix from the one and only portable (aka bodycode aka alan abrahams). rainy dayz (original mix) open up the a side with a sexy vocal loops which leads to a strong kind of old fashion house vibe built on a quite solid groove. welcome to the good nyc house music from oursk. this version is followed up by a superb deep house remix from mister portable. on the other side comes house of the sun. that’s the dancefloor killer of the record. a bit of détroit flavor, a bit of spoken word, strong atmospher. pay attention to that one. try it on the dancefloor on the right time and see what happen.

fergis, well known for his extra hard productions on killfactory takes it a bit further and scares domestic violence massive! wicked beats and nasty sounds - wohoooooooo hard techno!

now his latest brainchild sees the daylight. spaceshuttle backpack is another pumping, techy and warm tune that will stir up many dance floors around the globe. the original track was given that special new york ish remix treat by no one less than gaby dershin, who as most of you know is half of world renowned producer duo bit crushers. the second remix comes from prinsjan and dennis ruyer, a producer duo with genuine radio roots, being radio dj?s on ducth radio station radio538. these blokes took their spaceshuttle backpack interpretation to the deeper side of house music. all in all this again resulted in a very versatile package that will have quite an impact over the next couple of months for sure. a fresh sound has arrived, and those seeking surprises on the dancefloor are advised to plug in to patch park.

speed baby, sir real and 8-bit apocalypse deliver 3 remixes of >crash crash< by australian band snog. these tracks are purely made to set your favourite breakbeat/electro-floor on fire!

fine arranged melodies from multiple sound sources, as stated in his biography, are the building blocks of which daniel mehlhart considers to be the essence of good music. putting what he preaches into practice has affirmed the 22-year-old swiss born, frankfurt am main resident, as one of the most exciting new talents in the underground tech-house movement. his most acclaimed release was the harp-tinged origami, released last summer on kindisch, which catapulted him into the record bags and charts of a slew of seasoned djs during the end of last summer. >scharade< is an example of young daniel sticking to what he does best, mixing and blending techno. atmospheres and sonic images while still animating an organic and natural vibe over the tracks. liberal amounts of percussion and a middle eastern or asian vocal dramatically pitched this tune beyond recognition watermark with a style and a vibe that he has helped to advance. the house roots of >distracted conscience< are present right from the onset. using a double pump kick to inject a pinch more of energy into the already flourishing habitat of off-kilter and spooky sound effects. so many in fact it is easy to see how he came up with the name, >distracted conscience<, as there are more effects floating around in this track than thoughts in the head of an 8-year-old who forgot his daily dose of ritalin. he turns to an ethnic vocal on >alura< again, but keeping the overall mood of this outing a bit deeper. he pulls out even more percussion instruments including extra shakers, toms and bongos all marching along harmoniously. this is a head down, hands-up, side-to-side bopper that just keeps quietly elevating as subtle elements are added and subtracted throughout the duration of the tune. a coherent composition and dj tool all in one. although this is his second release there are no signs of a sophomore slump anywhere in site, as daniel mehlharts talent lies in his unique, but subtle ability to gel different eleme

the cologne based grossprojekt arose in 2006 from the rather coincidental neigbourship and clubbing friendship between techno dj and live act bastian bue?r and breakbeat producer alex cwicek. the year 2008 marks the end of their deliberate reluctance: their debut release on debox combines the different roots of the two artists to a new creative entity, resulting in an amazingly effective piece of techno in querschlaeger. raumkruemmung on the flipside works a bit like its own, streamlined transmission onto a straight bassdrum monotonous, raw and uncompromising.

its about time that i put you all up on some more electro...yeh, i know, ive been pretty biased with all the hip hop & sneaker posts! the blogs going to have a bit of a facelift soon, including some of the content, so stay tuned! anyhow, this gem comes from french duo donovan. to sum up their style, theyve got a chromeo-esque kind of sound to them, crunchy electro with an 80s feel. theyve also banged out some sick remixes for the likes of sebasiten tellier & in the club (their remix of turn you on is straight fire). breakin sounds great dave spoon (radio 1 - worldwide) yet another quality release from work it baby. this label really has developed its own sound release by release and its always a great quality especially in these days of all the same.matteo esse (cosmonote srl / various worldwide) charlie fanclub remix is real nice dj neoteric (many / dubsided records / national + international touring) i fucking love the charlie fanclub mix, totally up my street. i will be hammering it. (and joining charlies fanclub!) jack allsopp (just jack ltd) & more… fake blood, kim (the presets), aquasky, the c90s, matteo esse, colin peters, malente, sammy jo (scissor sisters), jaymo & andy george, john jones (hed kandi)

pure analogue italo-esque vocoder tackle from berlin that really hits the spot. pretty face is midtempo and slightly menacing and happy birthday shifts the tempo up a bit and treats the vocals to the other end of the vocoder spectrum. they are totally separate but sequenced so you can let the side run thru (a trick we pinched from disconet and hot tracks) or take your pick

third single from the imps (aka minilogue & decoy) remix album. move ds remix is a boogie deep house track. he raised the bpm a little bit and made a dj friendly version. thomas fehlmans remix is more a re edit thing – definitely the right way, psychedelic and deep as always.

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.

yes, it really is that slow! john roberts pushes the boundaries of how slow can you go on this beautiful jazz infected bit of deepness. one-sided, limited edition, get it before you cant!

filip dogandzic aka ofinger is ayoung producer from serbia. beforehe started producing solo, he wasreleasing music with his two friendsas crab people. the cp style isdiverse, a bit of electro, a bit ofhouse and some techno. but workingsolo as ofinger hes personal style istechno in general. plum juice is agreat driving minimal techno bomb!!!!

the second outing on frittomorto is by subway who have previous releases on nuphonic, sunday best and souljazz....they also have a forthcoming album on souljazz. the a side cs-87 is exactly the sort of tackle that you would expect mathew jonson to come up with if he was born twenty years earlier and had met vince lawrence and ron hardy in an all night gentlemens sauna. the flip side second sign sounds a bit like black dog before they went crap

played by andre galluzzi, andrew grant , dj karotte... due to some research & effort we took during the past months for handling weave musics little sister-label, international freakshows more and more growing reputation and success, it was a bit quiet in the weave-lab. so we thought its about time to present something fresh on weave music as well again!! fortunately the 5th birthday of weave music is giving us a perfect reason for releasing this record right now…

der thal is been playing all over germany and hes been trying to build up his own sound and skills. after making a great remix of reynolds track >craft< on trenton 027 he is now giving us 3 great tracks for a full maxi. mentona ep is a bit of a journey into what trenton use to be about at the very beginning with a techno that is very close to the old school detroit vibe… in der thals music there are a lot of melodic sounds and tough tight beats to keep us on the ground. >mentona< and >maszo< are floating on air with strings and synth lines when >puston< reminds us more of some >tejada< grooves! a great ep anyway from der thal who is definitely on the way to become one of these great young gifted producers that care about music mainly.

claremont 56 releases its first smith & mudd 7inch in a limited edition of series of four (a-d). side a sees smith & mudd at their best, a pure feel good track that puts you in a life affirming mood and gets the feet moving. side b takes it a bit deeper with the acoustic guitar backing a wooden flute solo. these are extremely limited and these are 250 copies only for the world. breath taking!

rinder & lewis: anger - considered one of the most abstract production teams of the disco era, this cut was taken from their >seven deadly sins< album (very rare!). never released on 12inch inch, this cut was a music box fave! not much to edit, just give it a dj friendlier drum intro. a great cut for a disco or a deep house set!mighty clouds of joy: time - one of my favorite edits! taken from their >its time< album. even thought this song was produced by dave crawford, the philly sound played a big part in it (thanks to norman harris on guitar & earl young on drums). the song was originally recorded in 2 parts, so i combined them with a little bit of dub. yes, you can give praise and boogie at the same time!

smoke city music are quick to follow on from the success of the still buzzin’ smoke city allstars with this new set of mixes from cubase dan & the hoodfellas. an understated and restrained grower with the most potent tool, a salsoul influenced filtered groover tucked away on the b side, this sussed sister label to hudd traxx keep it flowing for those who like diggin that bit deeper

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. were gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainlly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut. just the way we like it...for int005 we bring you a slow house chugger in the form of break the barriers, done by malaysian born and berlin based frankie flowerz. i have to say, its not by choice i decided to put this track out but a calling... upon hearing this track in frankies myspace player i knew i had to put this out over 12 inches in full scope... i spent some time trying to come up with the perfect match for remix duties and i think weve succeeded with the choice of man of the moment(and soon to be legendary)john daly of galway who turns in a slightly faster, darker and a bit dubbier affair.

bit with luke slater, adam beyer, the advent !! essential techno, part 10. two years ago, inigo kennedy put token on the map with a huge first release. now he returns again with a solid & storming dance floor ep!

hot n here gives you the scent of humid prime time, sweat - darkness cut up buy flashing lights. uplifting deepens first glance of upcomming peaks is the leading role of this decent track, driven by its restless baseline. you need a little bit of a break? or another sound that keeps you up and running without being to aggressive? well heres the secret, you are >not alone< finally it may be time to relax to phase out. >timetable< can give you what you demand in such case. we want to lour you to spend whats left of your energy and reward you with this musical cotton bed.

nail biting punk disco! speaker shredding synths and drunken, chanted choruses! a valiant first stab at the disco dance charts! comes with along with two equally mental prins thomas remixes. the nordic demigod brings the funky disco beat with his first interpretation of double fisted, while on the flip side he creates a head nodding balearic version that makes one feel a bit like they should be lying in the tall, tall grass watching a liquid gel light show in outer space.

support by gregor tresher, mathias kaden, reboot, vera, d julz, raresh, federico molinari, dorian paic… moon harbour stays international with their 40th release. this time with the focus on the vibrant french club scene. alexis bernard aka seuil has already been releasing a bunch of groundbreaking eps on labels like minibar, einmaleins or freak n chic since 2006. this year he founded his own label called eklo with such hi-class acts as lauhaus and miss fitz. for his first ep on moon harbour recordings he presents 3 top notch house tracks with profound melodies and cleverly layered rhythms. >double room< consists of subtle sounds and a very likable vocal sample - driving with a high dose of funk! >she percs me< on the flipside is a bit more straight. percussive rhythms and playful licks perfectly display seuils musically advanced ideas. last but not least and a bit more on the relaxed side we have >no time for love<. a shy piano works its way through the track and makes it a perfect tune for some real late night magic.

after several remixes and longtime waiting our artist h.o.s.h. releases his next own ep. and he is back with a real banger! >the valve< sounds connected to steppenwolf, but feels more like a coninue: more modern, more pushing and more groove. like hell! a balkan- flute plays sometimes, but very harmonic to the track. heebie-jeebie! >super sick bowl< is a fantastic groove, too, but a bit more housy like classic recordings. awesome, never boring housebeat spiced with two cool and sick breaks. this loop could run forever. single words work perfect with the beat and provide a stimulating sexappeal. under a fig tree starts more technoid with the sound, but has still a groovy house for 3 minutes til the break - and out of this break a new sound is evolving. on the one this track continues with a warm bass hook, leaving the technoid sounds behind. what a twist! just beautyfull! thanx hosh

scott grooves comes with a sweet ass 12inch on clone. 2 sublime tracks by the guy that was one of the main influences for many people. one of the most independent minds in the whole us house and techno scene. for the last 10 years he only released on his own labels. and after his masterpiece >the journey collection< we are proud to present these 2 new cuts that are just as timeless and good as that monumental record! these two tracks are a warm up for the upcoming riddum collection scheduled later this year and remind us very much of his journey collection , but also to the other peoples place (warp & clone) and even a bit of metro area. maybe we shouldnt compare because these tracks stand on their own.. but this ultimate dopeness for the dance floor! must have

ultraphat hypnotic / groovy techno monster... little bit like french kiss

excellent proggy - electro house anthem !! sounds a little bit like recent neotrance productions

the into the night ep is a wonderful deep, slow & moving record that should be one of the highlights in this years autumn sessions. into the night kicks off with some wild pitch – alike chords and builds up soulful, moody but strong. tectonic move is so damn groovy and might be one the funkiest trax ever coming out of the metaworld universe of matt flores. also the tempo of almost 120 bpm is sexy as hell... all percussions & the bass are played live by matt flores. “tectonic move” also features some extatic detroitish synths that makes you scream. a definitive winner! the tectonic move flores & saenger dub has been rearranged a bit by matt flores and farsides ingo saenger (one half of westpark unit). they stripped the tune, put more focus on the groove and re dubbed all harmonies & synths. the result is a funky smokers riddim for all you dubby tool headz out there.

hot on the heels of her last feel good smash these times, comes kimaras latest jammer far away, with two very distinctive remixes, the first by distant musics jon cutler. one might think we picked jon because of his coincidental label/song title relation, but one would be wrong! we picked jon because his superb production skills. the man behind the worldwide triumph its yours, as well as many others, brings a good bit o bounce to the dance floor on this remix. his lush piano chords, funky percussion, and synth zaps are a perfect bed for kimaras strong vibrant vocals to lay upon. he also turns in a truly slick dub for those looking for a bit less vox. for those looking for more tech, one of our favorite new dance producers out of japan, hideo kobayshi, slings us with a tougher, warpier punch (and dub) that ll get hearts and feet movin in synch.

itamar sagi from the be as one label really made a name for himself with his black gold track that was released earlier this year. inspired by the warmer and more emotional side of detroit techno he very much captured something real and true in that song which certaintly paid off in the end. here he has done something a bit different. not less good though. actually better. this is a record for those moments when you need to increase the pace but still wants to keep the soul. perfect!
