casxio (ca see oh) are a refreshing devine fusion of disco, funk and rock n roll. reminiscent of a sound that first infiltrated ourairwaves over a quarter of a century ago, casxio is what happens when prince, the talking heads, and sly stone all get their heartsbroken by the same girl.

prime numbers are back with e11.... the latest in the pn e.p series. three exclusive tracks by mr scruff & kaidi tatham, motor city drum ensemble and andrés! this time we feature a heavyweight collaboration between mr scruff & kaidi tatham who provide a smouldering jazz-house production with kaidi leading the way on keys and flute on top of a chunky, bottom-heavy groove. motor city drum ensemble drops a killer raw cut. a heavily smashed jackin’ disco workout with all the markings of a fine cajual dub or early striclty rhyhtm. the track oozes soul and is unpretentiously aimed at the dancefloor. once again danilo plessow proves less is more. andrés completes the line up with a cheeky blend of some classic ingredients. sounding like a track from his early releases, “jack city” has all the essential hallmarks of the andrés sound with an excellently simple but purely effective fusion of house and hiphop ethics

more twisted electro punk dance tracks from the french duo!!

its been a while since i:cube hasnt deliver some fresh cuts! was he lost in a software??? hes back (a new album is also scheduled) to his early naive, deep and twisted spirit, but with a super tight modern production... falling is a sleazy funk track, a slow burner, which contains all the elements who made i:cube one of the most respected and innovative producers around since more than a decade!! heavy groove, hypno bassline, references to the early disco-dub music. un dimanche sans fin (neverending sunday) was done (as its name says) a sunday night, one shot, at the versatile studio. cube reconnects with his seminal dub-techno love, a track full of space and emotion. i would describe operation hypnosis as sheffield house. a solid beat and some bleeps will bring the dancer into a mental spiral...

just huge dubby killer tunes, incl biodub remix!
on january 1st 2010, the first single released by a new vinyl label kanu kanu will appear in the shops worldwide. the aim of the label, run by a producer hatti vatti (mindset recordings), is to promote interesting and original artists from the world of dub-tech, minimal dubstep / ukg. the material for the single catalogued as number 001 was created by the musicians from three countries: echo_tm from poland, echo ranks from great britain and biodub from germany. the person responsible for the overall conception is hatti vatti from poland, currently living in cairo, egypt. the result of this collaboration is a fusion of meditative bass, dub, dub-tech, minimal and one of the most interesting voices of contemporary reggae. the record is released in a very limited edition (300 copies) and it is pressed on a beautiful blue vinyl!

stroke typifies the twisted darkness so prevalent in italian techno right now. constructed from a tight stripped back groove of low-humming bass and booming kicks the track bounces along against a off-kilter backdrop of acid ripped effects. a legend in techno, rino cerrone makes a welcome return to analytic trail with his remix. taking the late night feel of the original and evolving it over a tight shuffling groove the effect is to accentuate the warped vibe and discreet energy.

the 9th release on excentric muziks off-shoot rekluse brings with it a very welcome edition to the rekluse family, we are sure matt cooper is somebody who you will be hearing a lot more about in the nearest future, that is if you havent heard of him already...
from his mixmag >future hero< tag, to his efx1000 tutorial videos for pioneer (he has been likened to james zabiela but with bigger bass lines) and his ongoing residency at the dirty disco in leeds (the northern light was the original home for the club night which the ep title pays homage to), the only piece missing from his jigsaw was the production side of things, until now. he recently teamed up with spektre to launch their new respekt label with the >cuernos cubanos< collaboration, and now we are very proud to present matts first ever solo productions, brought together as >the northern light ep<.
>pack your trunks< is dark twisted statement of intent, with a hearthrob-esque hook giving off the feeling that the track is ever so slightly on the brink of loosing it, before that tough gloomy groove reminds you just why you were listening in the first place, and why you have to listen to it just that one more time...
>triptup< attacks with a driving upbeat vibe that also arrives with a crazy tinged edge to it, keeping the dance floor bouncing off the walls, this has never failed to receive anything less than devastating reactions during its many roadtests on our travels.
>the swinger< rounds off the ep with a kinky tech houser that swaps the power of its 2 harder brothers for some chirpy tomfoolery, without compromising on its absolute effectiveness to well and truly rock the party whilst getting completely stuck in your head. and dont forget the breakdown...

we lost a house hero ... decks is sad .. rest in peace anthony ... temple vox mix played by ricardo villalobos ... ltd warehouse found

third and last single cut from his debut solo album! this time he teamed up with >kuniyuki aka koss< as a production partner and this single was made with many obscure old records. a side, >routine< is jazzy fusion disco and >unfaithful< is one of the best clubby track on the album. b side, >transaction< is a klaus schulze style and >aneugalam< is a unique jazz funk disco

new novamen.... after much sought-after releases on labels like murdercapital, bunker, viewlexx, mr pauli & dj overdose are back again and deliver the goods with 5 new slamming tracks in their trademark old-school electro style. razor-sharp beats, twisted bass-lines and sick vocoders... you know the drill. for the freaks!

after the well received all creation 12s delsin records drops yotokos >wet ink<. yotoko are shifty & domu (jcr, 2000black, archive). yotoko stands for a perfect fusion between broken beat, techno and soul.
their album is not about breaking barriers, but it is their own little twisted version of what they call techno. for yotoko techno can be heard in everything, so as such it is all techno. domu and shifty are influenced by lots of different stuff, soul, jazz, disco, hip hop, techno, some old break beat, new broken stuff.. as well 20 pence mad charity shop finds.. the album is about yotoko making music they think is cool and realizing that all this music is the same no matter what the bpm or groove.
domu started as sonar circle for 4 heros reinforced label. later on active as domu for labels as archive and 2000 black and together with archive label boss volcov for the jcr-label with their album as rima. shifty is domus longtime comrade, making his first musical public appearance as yotoko. the albums artwork will be done by amsterdams machine, who already took care of the kindred spirits releases.

dualism are kwamina and gab from zurich. they produce music since 2005 and had their debut release on pheeks label archipel >dualism speech defect ep< in 2006.
today their sound appears minimally as twisted, queer-melodic deep and wicked techno with much love to the detail. their sound surprises with unconventional rhythm-structures and many-layered sound-design. their distinctive style and preference for idiosyncratically and broken sounds as well as the clever use of vocal snippets is always present on their productions.
the name-giving track of this ep is remixed by dapayk and also by estroe.

big room house track!

vivace is a project of stephen hitchell (cv313, echospace, intrusion) and is a unique hybrid of deep house, dub, jazz, & soul, a sort of new school/old school fusion which pays homage to chicago house heroes like chez damier & ron trent in their prescription era but with a modern twist. this project is the continuation of his previous soultek material initially featured on germanys force tracks & force inc family of labels back at the start of the century. the title track in its original form is a sub-aquatic journey through space and bass, as deep as you would come to expect from an echospace production but the sound palette has changed, shifting into a world filled with ambience and free form jazz. the use of live instrumentation & vocals are a driving force behind this project and add a depth and soul oceans deep, its like melting in sonic butter. the soultek mix is a frenzy of edits, funked up and sounds like it could be a schizophrenics take on house music, brendon moeller dives deep into soul, shifting and morphing the original into a proper late night house jam you could only imagine derrick carter or theo parrish dropping at the wee hours of the morning. the closing intrusion mix gives the original a frosty lime green haze best absorbed while inhaling, real trippy stuff. this first release has already earned countless play from francois k and in its inception (as soultek) was hailed as >jacks echo -- the future sound of chicago< by de-bug magazine, germany

played by: gorge, hosh, alex keji, nick warren, agoria, coyu, oliver klein, osunlade...
beef records is proud to present another peak time tech house vinyl ep. >hann< is one of those tracks that are very hard to forget – catchy vocal, simple groove, groovy bassline and amazing sound scapes keeps every dancefloor busy. on remix duties we have the only greek dj who has been smashing international charts, producing world wide hits (like >jauce<) and touring at the same time. kreon gives hann extra twist, loose percussion and off time rhythms. fans of twisted techno will love this remix. another remixes are by our very own shades of gray who take hann on a bit more melodic journey and australian murat kilic who brings some great tech house chords and shakers to fulfill this package.

saved records continues their busy release schedule towards the close of 2009 with one of their strongest packages to date, a release from marc ashken and matt tolfrey. between them, the duo have released tracks on respected labels such as cocoon, perc trax, crosstown rebels, viva, and matts label leftroom. for their saved release, the duo present >babygirl<, an amazing deep house track, which is layered with deep twisted vocals and is sure to destroy the dance floors over the christmas clubbing period and right into 2010.
alongside the original on the a-side is a remix from none other than legend derrick carter. known for being one of the best underground house djs and producers on the planet, derricks incredible remix keeps the deep, grooving feel that the original possesses and includes the vocals which he has edited to great effect. alongside his sharp use of hi-hats to keep the track flowing, the track drops into and back out of the bass line to create a great end product.
on the flipside, the second remix comes from amsterdam based artist, daniel sanchez. the bla bla label owner delivers an amazing take on the track, presenting a much more stripped down and ambient result, perfect for warming the night up with.
the >babygirl< package is a must for all deep house djs.

the latest outing of france based john thomas electronic funk label, ethique, introducing remixes for johns latest album >the unlimited experience<, by a broad spectrum of minimally inclined producers: jens zimmermann (international freakshow, snork enterprises), tom ellis (minibar, telegraph, trimsound) and ark (pias, karat).

all the tracks on this double vinyl demonstrate his innovative approach to music, running the full spectrum from soft ambient interludes to the more uptempo beat trickery. accept manages to combine both extremes and is an apt opening track, demonstrating the two faced nature of aardvarcks productions, highly constructed beats and beautiful melodies. taa baa sounds like it emerged straight out of londons co op, though aardvarck has not been to this broken beat mecca. th #1 is pure ambient bliss and followed by the deep spacious beats of dim. steps is based around a seriously crunched up hip- hop break, think domu scrapping with the funkstorung boys. the original version of zom is track 7 (ignore the tracklisting on the cd) whilst the stunning remix by attica blues tony nwachukwu is actually track no. 17. upset is based around deep raw bass, the structure of the track is created with pin point beat work. flight simulator is a silky smooth journey, proving that aardvarcks beats dont have to be broken. the stuttered synchopated bass stabs of th#3 combined with its fearsome breaks push the edge of the nu jazz envelope and gentle is an uptempo number combining the skip of 2 step with smooth german jazz styles - one for the quirky jerky types on the dancefloor. th#6 is another deep ambient soundscape helping to ease the pressure after the frantic percussion of knet. stampot shows aardvarcks ability to counter fearsome rhythms with melancholy chords, the forward flowing synths float the listener over the near chaotic drum programming. finally, the album closes with the weeping strings and treated piano of anders, bizarrely twisted and warped sonics. one beautiful voyage!

supported by anthony collins, konrad black, ahmet sisman, richie hawtin, tony rodriguez, jeremy p. caulfield, someone else, pär grindvik, ivan smagghe! the disordered emperor strikes back! after the fulminate >moody londoner ep< on stock5 and some amazing releases on dumb unit and thema, cesare vs disorder delivers the 10th release of stock5! it had to be the twisted italian from london since he become a very close friend of the label and has so far all the qualities to celebrate the jubilee imprint!

badmotorfinger got lost amid the blockbuster success of nevermind and ten (all were released around the same time). but the fact is that, though they re all great records, badmotorfinger is much less accessible by comparison. not that it isnt melodic, but it also sounds twisted and gnarled, full of dissonant riffing, impossible time signatures, howling textural solos, and weird, droning tonalities. its surprisingly cerebral and arty music for a band courting mainstream metal audiences, but it attacks with scientific precision. part of that is due to the presence of new bassist ben shepherd, who gives the band its thickest rhythmic foundation yet and, moreover, immediately shoulders the departed hiro yamamotos share of songwriting duties. but its apparent that the whole band has greatly expanded the scope of its ambitions. and badmotorfinger fulfills them, pulling all the different threads of the bands sound together into a mature, confident, well written record. this is heavy, challenging hard rock full of intellectual sensibility and complex band interplay.

akiko kiyama is back on lmd after kick starting the label with her acclaimed misidia monarchy ep. since then her sound has matured and grown, the flesh got spirit ep shows this in more ways than one. with a brooding sub low bassline & twisted intricate layers a genius vocal comes into play lifting the track only then to be placed back into the depths of the abyss. treppen is a peak time destroyer, sucking you into a hypnotizing rhthym that builds and builds creating a feeling that something is about to happen, strange vocals that sound like lost souls haunt the track hooking you in only to spit you back out onto a roller coaster baseline. sometimes is a harmonic cruise control roller that takes you on a trip through akikos wonderland.

mothership transmission 027 – maetrik the >space chronic< ep was the biggest selling record on mothership last year and for good reason. maetrik has an incredible knack for innovative and original sound design. he is also able to package these sounds inside great arrangements and very dj friendly beats. this is what really separates his records from the rest of the sound design experts. >show me< is the perfect example of maetriks amazing talents. after several minutes of a super funky techno groove (2 things that dont usually go together) we find ourselves at the drop. and this drop is one of the best we have ever heard. it sounds like an angry wasp is flying full speed through the inside of your brain. the riff will melt your mind. >simpleman< on the other side is a great example of maetriks versatility. you might be expecting a hardcore techno bit but instead we hear a very groovy, almost reserved jazz techno fusion joint, but still with the heavy beats to keep it real for the clubs.

well rounded records launch with the debut 3-track ep from the up and coming south londons boy wonder: deadboy! three instant and memorable dancefloor gems that effortlessly combine elements of house / uk garage & funky. all tracks are characterised by twisted yearning vocal hooks, classic analogue pads, substantial subs and crisp original drum patterns. there is style and vibe in abundance here as you will no doubt recognise! these tunes have already gathered notoriety thanks to their inclusion on influential mixes by the likes of jackmaster (wireblock/numbers), ben ufo (hessle audio), oneman & braiden (both rinse fm), brackles and shortstuff. deadboy has already been tipped as one of the producers to watch in 09 and this is likely to be a one of the 12s of the year.

this new collaboration between two of cadenzas finest talents makes its official debut on mobilee with black shoes, a cut that pops, crackles, and snaps like youd never believe. dance floor ready yet unwilling to sacrifice an explicit focus on the details, black shoes pulsates with bass while suggesting a kind of lightness as whispered and fragmented voices hiss and murmur in the background. the melodics, which give off the feel of being in constant flux, provide a nice contrast to the intensely regularized bass drum while simultaneously meshing with the popping percussion that guide the track along its course. breakdowns filled with the sounds of static and 8-bit provide a nice experimental touch to this track that works equally well as a late-night romp as it does on the headphones. b-side speech also gives off a stuttered feel but is even more blippy and fragmented than its counterpart while migrating towards a more jacking vibe. brito and toro compliment this fractured sound with extensive use of vocal samples—both spoken and sung—that, while incomprehensible, lock in seamlessly with the overall feel of the track. melody here references both vintage sounds and traditional minimalism with the end result being a fusion of the two that is truly extraordinary.

a warehouse found !! just a remarkable twisted tribal / proggy house classic!! underground will live forever baby, just likes roaches, never die!!!

russian duo easy changes have been demanding international respect for some time now and have established themselves as free and forward thinking producers, who continue to surprise. returning to mean, easy changes have delivered a refined, abstract jazz experiment that teases with continuously evolving elements, moving, shifting, drifting, telling tales, whispering in corners. zhazdha krovi gets our attention with twisted vocals playing with off key elements focusing on refined detailed percussion and clean bass sounds. stolem is a rythmic workout. light, quircky elements amuse whilst sitting on top of the groove that insists we get down. sweet n candy come in on remix duty and deliver a tech house killer. pulsationg, tough grooves that will raise the temperature on any discerning dance floor. b2 is a minimal jazz jaunt that teases, off kilter and experimental and refined

hailing originally from japan but now operating out of ontario, canada, this is ms onos debut release, and she certainly proves her credentials on this clean, sharp but funky fusion of dubstep techno and electro. kuro shinju is abstract and oblique but crisply funky, whilst the flipside moon is not unlike the japanese art of ikebana where the spaces in between are just as important as what fills them. precision cut clarity.

produced the same year as the truly epic >explorer< lp, >yellow power< takes the highlights from >explorer< and gives them an eastern twist. the hard to find / undiscovered >yellow power< was written and produced in germany by multi-instrumentalist tony carey (rainbow / planet p project) under his yellow power guise. originally released in 1982 this beautifully airbrushed japanese concept album contains 10 tracks of german electronica and cosmic disco / synth pop instrumentals. opening with >hai samurai<, which has been recently re edited by pilooski, this album voyages from spaced-out electro-disco gems such as >megawar<, >peking duck<, >tojo< and >radio tokyo< to cosmic / balearic oddities such as >queen of scots<, >blue fusion< and >dynamite<

pds return with their third single for the superb republic of desire label, entitled >those are sirens< and once again open up a world of brooding, twisted emotion brought to life by their unique sound - incl photonz remix.

the sound of the first nice cat release is a natural output from the joyous mess that villalobos and los updates churn out every time they book a studio . a marriage of dark humour and twisted four on the floor this record leaves some unanswered questions , wich is a good thing these looped-based days. the fiat 600 remix and the rather respectful audio george remix make this delicious treat a triple one.

fresh from a chart-topping ep for sci+tec, reset robot brings his sound-of-now to curfew. pacing out the track to allow a swaying funk to percolate the off-kilter drone of the original the result is an edgy, melodic tech house groove.
kapat sees lady b combine bubbling 80s synth pop melodies with heavy rolling bass and drawn out dramatic strings to create a full-force floor grabbing blend of old and new. timeless, energetic, emotive underground music.

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

rising up from the gurgling belly of the underworld comes disco of doom, the brand new project from production and dj duo tom real & the rogue element. the disco of doom is a place of unspeakable depravity from whence tom and rogue deliver twisted, filthy productions. >warpig< and >spawn again< follows their first ep which came out last year on passenger records to critical acclaim. >warpig< takes things deep, dark, heavy and churning with surprises at every turn just when you thought it was safe to get back on the dancefloor. >spawn again< brings you back to the jack of old school chicago acid madness while simultaneously slicing in the heavy duty rave sounds...you are all well and truly doomed!

after the success of the re-edits vol.1 the messengers (kev beadle & darren moss) are back with a couple of peak-time floor fillers for vol.2.
>first left< is a huge funky fusion bomb that will be sure to move any crowd. looping up the classic herbie tune >just around the corner< the boys have added some percussive flavours to give it a summery edge. side 2 is their rework of ray barrettos version of stevie wonders >pastime paradise<. extending the intro and giving it an extra little kick the tune builds into the perfect singalong tune for those bbq afternoons and summer nights.
both tracks have already found their way into the cd cases of gilles peterson, king britt, phil asher, rainer truby, simbad, eddy ramich, mad mats, michael rutten, rob luis, kay suzuki,dom servini, souled, nik weston, dj asparagus and jonny miller and getting major support from them all.

final release!! played by richie hawtin & loco dice !!! perc s debut release for ovum recordings, the mathlete ep - title track mathlete is an industrial soundscape. a living, breathing, composition, with a murmuring, metallic heart. percolating bass, delicate mood changing synths, twisted wah-wah guitar and steel drum percussion, all make this moody opener a hit for the floor.

two more tracks from the much anticipated italoboyz full length cd >bla bla bla<. those of you familiar with italoboyz music will be aware of its roots in the fusion of organic with electronic sounds and the collision of genres as varied as jazz, opera and folk with what we traditionally know as house and techno. >techno tower< and >chinese< are a real testament to the italoboyz musical roots and will surely turn some heads on the dancefloor.

in 2006, gregorythme released a stunning cannibale ep on minibar, with its famous echolalie lyric, twisted, flying track and croque mitaine, a dachkantines favorite. we were looking forward to bring the minibarian back home, et voilÓ ! together with his alter ego laps, digitaline is on boardà and offers a must-have-ep. 080808, side a, is a 12 minutes pure digitaline stylistic signature, feelings going crescendo, keeping up with you to take off. its a minibars special. oz factor, side b, is a new refreshment: a drop of mental bend, a peel of cadence, and a river of pace

supported by: richi hawtin, hot chip, john digweed, nik fanciull, tono rios, okain... their new ep >shipyard< is piemont at their best... we would not have it another way... magnetic beat-bassline monsters, funky and rigid at the same time. you might call it germanic and it reminds us of dadaism in the 20ies ingermany with it s theme: non-sense makes more sense? the a-side track >shipyard< has all of this, a fusion of old school with blowing horns and massive hi-tech technology. well we know the release is about hamburg harbour...but what the f..ck does it matter. the b1-track >cargo< is as heavy and bulky as you can imagine a track to be with this name... but if you know piemont, you know they make even heavy tracks funky. the b2-track >dockyard< isthe deepest track on the 12 inch and shows that piemont will continue their liking for deeper music which they revealed for the fist time on their recent album >strange world beyond< on mbf.

the om 15 year anniversary compilation is chok full of tasty treats. one of our favorites is this >the latest< by sygaire & defcon featuring capitol a. sygaire (sonar kollektiv, raw fusion) is the the moniker of roskow kretschmann, who has quite the resume of contributions to modern dance music culture. starting with his role as member of jazzanova crew, to his later offerings as kosma, forum, and integra (compost, infracom!), roskow is obviously a man on a mission to spread incredible music throughout the world. here he is with partner defcon (raw fusion, melting pot), the alias of one philipp wohlleben. as innocent as that name might sound, do not be fooled. defcon stands for defense condition 5, and dj defcon brings the heat like a missile in the night. together these two have come with what clearly translates as a respectful bow to the old skool days, presented in true double 12 inch extended mix fashion, and complete with vocals from none other than capitol a.

new face to the scene delivers her first single in style, complete with mixes from peter luts and twisted mind madboy lazy jay.

big with: 2000 and one, jimpster, chopstick, anderson noise ...
since the middle of the 90ies andry nalin counts to the most successful djs and producers for underground house worldwide. beside numerous successful releases and remixes on labels like saw, stealth, bedrock, subliminal or his own label superfly he made with nalin & kane and the track >beachball< a so called crossover hit in 1997 that mutated from an underground to a worldwide hit within one year. in the last time he has big influence on the tech- and deephouse scene and releases also on plastic city since 2008.

tony nwachukwu is a pioneer and his musical roots go way back. he was the mastermind behind attica blues on the legendary mo wax label and has produced wonderful music which is still timeless. remixes for people like unkle, macy gray and even duran duran prove how incredible he is. at the red bull music academy he teaches his skills to young talented producers and has established an interesting night at londons plastic people called cdr where they only play unreleased music. cdr has also worldwide events. with burnt progress he gives young producers the chance to release their music on his label. his first ep for drumpoet is championing his big love for techno(logy) and equipment in general and underlines the great musical knowledge and open-mindedness of this forgotten legend he is! the ep has already huge support from some of the best djs around and the quality of all three tracks whether it is the detroit-ish t time too the twisted outta ere or the broken flowin is impossible to ignore!

click box have fast become a permanent fixture in the minus firmament, personifying the subtle shifts that are taking place within the scene as the label expands its repertoire and broadens its horizons to incorporate emerging artists from all over the globe. already on to their second minus release of 2009, são paulo djs / producers marco as and pedro turra immediately pick up where they left off with the roving bass and pumping rhythm section of wake up call doing exactly what it says on the tin. as with the first ep, the oscillating synth patterns continue to dominate proceedings, painting neon shapes in the darkness before another delicious robotic sequence shifts the atmosphere by introducing a moroder-esque vibe complete with twisted disco bleeps. its just another example of how click box have honed their sound since their debut i&t release through a finely crafted mixture of proto-house, electro and techno, to create a distinctive hybrid thats fast becoming their own

cause records is the project by the most famous (and married) hard-techno couple: petduo. straight from brasil, but based in berlin these days, petduo is well-known for their extremely energetic life-sets and bestselling releases on cannibal society / nerven / inflicted to name just a few.for the 4th release the pets invite a bunch of upcoming artists from their motherland. that brazilian hard techno is very much alive was already a fact with names like lukas, alex tb and pet duo themselves creating damage around the globe. this new ep holds brand new tracks for the masses. another killer on this young label that will literally blow your mind!

syntax analyzer stands for research of hardtechno algorithms that picks >mushroom on the beach< by albert kraner with high density voltage for your brains. no need to mention mad man dariush gee with twisted tune >what s your fuckin point< that puts straight point with groovy and elastic beats for all you ravers. notorious motormorfoses on a flip with astonishingly musical >cataclisma system world< that will smash you away deep and solid. lastly noizbar, an evil genius of datablender movement, delivers you a tricky track called >separatist< that gives you a lift to your final destination.

the 2nd ep vinyl preview of the highly anticipated italoboyz full length bla bl bla (out in september) on mothership. not everyone is aware that both marco and fede migrated north to london from italy several years ago. this move has influenced their sound, hence the where is london? ep this ep also marks the start of their new live instrumentation work. where is london draws its title from a big ben sample put in reverse, but it also features experimental live piano work (piano strings struck with paper mallets) re-twisted into their addictive drum patterns. on the other side, lanagramme features salvador dalis voice and the interesting dual piano work of their good friend angelo. italoboyz are always pushing the boundaries and testing the limits of traditional dance-floor music and this is no exception.

what a soulful bomb!! excellent twisted kenny hawkes mix!!!

a hot selection by nottingham house heroes!!!
