after releasing successful lps in the past, we re happy to announce a new manmade recordings series by the name of feature funk. the first release features some more proper floor filling funky break beats by well known beat mixing talents like funkanomics, basementfreaks, quasamodo and manmade. the feature funk series begins with a typical manmade styled tune called supersonic. coming with fast hammond chords in the beginning, followed by a rolling bass line and punched with a short feature form benins (west africa) upcoming rap star penny this track kicks ass! with lets dance explodes another funk bomb from quasamodo. this talented producer from greece gives another masterpiece-definition of the phrase funky breakbeat. hi did an unbelievable mix with this on of a kind nightrider feeling. basement freaks is another greek rooted producer, who fires one more funk missile with his track hot beastie. after having released plenty of successful tracks on different international labels, we re happy he found his way on this record. get your party started with this one! funkanomics hit things hard again with their recognisable style, and we re happy to present them on this record. their track is a wild and fast mixture of kravitz rock elements combined with classic old school raps. their track kravitzbuster makes mincemeat out of clubs!

one of the great aspects of the endlessly varying bass music soundwave is the way it seems able, even compelled, to fuse antecedant styles and genres to itself. in the most innovative hands, influences from last month are absorbed and reworked as smoothly as those from last century, and creativity sparks brightest when the marriage of form and function takes place beyond recognised boundaries? and it?s from that unrestricted zone that uk producer o-dessa emerges. opening with an initial resemblance in sound to the same plaintive blue air of burial, as these tracks resonate deeper in the mind, it becomes clear that this sonic affinity is merely a veil beneath which a new heart beats. the rhythms lurking below the bassline in ?deeper? are like some undiscovered amalgam of old skool hardcore and something you might hear on the latest dirty south mixtape, which somehow manage to defy sense and co-exist in a driving and breathtaking way. mournful mariachi horns and a plunging dub bassline intermingle in a desolate approximation of sergio leone?s western soundtracks, while reedy flutes and distant female voices build a swirling vapour through which skittering woodblocks and metallic ticks raise an anxious sense of motion. anchored by a vast, cone-melting sub-bass undertow, ?deeper? s treasures are buried well below the surface. the juxtapositional subtle-tear-out nature of o-dessa?s production is even more apparent in ?million dollarz?, which reveals itself in stages to be a gradual descent into layers of tweaked amen breaks, but with a grandeur unlike anything previously heard, even though that drum pattern has already been chopped countless ways over the years. it?s not until midway through its five-and-a-half minutes that the famous phased snares rise from the dense banks of atmospherics, but when they do, a moment of blurred euphoria hits and the tune bursts into colourful life. this 12¬ is the first broadcast of many more to come from o-dessa, as - like many have in their own way before and still more strive to do so now - he embarks on his individual journey in the continual reinvention of bass music. instant thrill junkies won?t find their fix in these grooves, but followers of the path less travelled will recognise many signs pointing the way to a rich future.

please welcome the 2nd youngster in our rooster. with just 20 years, he is already a professional in the swiss scene: stefano tropeano played at the internationally well reputated oxa in zurich, at loft luceme, acqua zurich, club q and many more. he is definately one to watch in the future. for his first production he received maximum support of namito, well known for his releases on kling klong or great stuff, rounding up this powerful package that should make it very difficult to decide which track to play, just because they all work out equally great.

faze action release their latest single taken from the new album which is out now , >i wanna dancver< has been described as like a lost disco classic from 1979 , >its the sort of tune you if you were digging in the crates and came across it you would want to release it as a re edit<. this breezy summer disco classic featuring the vocals of mary moore has already been receiving huge support from a wide selection of djs including dave lee (joey negro)on his recent australian tour, pete herbert (reverse 68) and many more. radio is also getting behind it with plays on bbc and already receiving plays off the album on the ministry of sound radio courtesy of ross allen, the 12 inch also includes a disco rock dub mix which has added pianos and a pulsating bass line aimed more for the after hours party and a reflex mix which includes a more early eighties boogie bass line. watch out for it at a festival near you this summer

played by brothers vibe , gerd janson (running back)... introducing two brand new lindstrom tracks: the magnificent and disturbing the perfect symmetry the leftover ep came about when prins thomas, todd terje and smalltown supersound were let into the lindstrom vaults so to speak. lindstrom makes a lot of music obviously (he has one album out this year already with prins thomas and another one with christabelle coming in october), and these were two tracks just laying around that he hadnt thought about releasing. when both prins thomas, todd terje and his label insisted that the tracks had to be released, he decided it was maybe a good idea to make another 12inch since it had actually been a while since the last one. and we are all happy by that. these are some of his finest moments. his signature melodies and sound are all here ready set dancefloors on fire. hope you like them as much as we do. enjoy!

played by mathias kaden, sebo k, tobi neumann, karotte....there is a date this year in autumn you should keep in mind: the release of marcel knopfs first album on mos ferry. being a dj marcel knopf is used to fathom genre boundaries and now and then he dives into dubstep, electronica and realms of pop. with the single dusty dance you get a foretaste of the upcoming congenial longplayer. in its own way, his single enables an acoustic addiction of a thrilling style mix. these two tracks move in between smart techno and grooving illustrious house and points out, that knopf doesnt want to be bound to one musical direction. the title track and a-side of the single >dusty dance< is one of the floor fillers of his album. get ready for an enthralling groove, a monster break and a hook, where any bias against trumpets in the club is blown away. on the b-side youll find the oldschool frickling house track >rec-chord<, which reflects knopfs addiction for the beloved vinyl format. go out and get yourself a physical copy, to hear this nice and comfortable sizzling noise. its the best way to get a charming club feeling. and always remember: who buys first, may listen longer!

third release on important corestyle and and after the great first two releases the label now proudly presents the first release of stormtrooper on this well respected german label! this busy man needs no further introduction, his mental productions on top labels like industrial strength, rebel scum, crowbar and many more, make him one of the most wanted industrial hardcore/hard techno producers worldwide. stormtrooper starts this 12inch of with rampage, a basic yet deadly effective hard pushing track full of massive percussion parts and grindin basskicks... this top track gets also a great kpx remix, this kid is known for the first important corestyle release and proves to be one of the rising stars in hardcore land with this excellent remix! the flip side offers breathing blood, a kickin track which is more experimental than rampage, check the cool breakdown on this one! last track is fuck everything, a dirty piece of industrial work which is takin your speakers to the maximum...excellent release by this mastermind, do not miss out!!

dave dk needs no introduction, since his debut moodmusic album “lights and colours” he s been busy travelling the world preaching his trademark electronic deep house sound and remixing florian kruse, tigerskin and seva k for labels baalsaal, global underground and dirt crew among other things. for the new moodmusic release dave packs 2 tracks from the album in new edits as well some major remix biz from ada (areal, irr) and russ gabriel (mobilee, ferox) remixing cinema paraiso was ada s choice, the epic floating, almost balearic feel to it fitted perfectly the fine hand of ada and her perfect production values. starting with a rough 303 bassline, building an intense but deep affair buidling into a hypnotic frenzy of old school acid and modern electronics ! from the feedback from the few selected djs who got their hands on this gem, ada s remix is allready in groove mag top-10 ! the b-side coimbra, a rocking house belter with neat sample editing and the dave dk bassline juggling between the low end and the ultra low sub. russ keeps much of the original intact, deepening the groove with his funk injected beats and some lush detroit influenced chord action like we know and love from him. as a bonus we include the original mix for those vinyl lovers out there !

20 years time, when vinyl diggers are hunting the most obscure house and techno treasures from the 90s and noughties, theyll probably turn to expert patrick specke for assistance. this dj and producer from düsseldorf is dedicated to the machines that he uses to craft his metallic, shimmying tunes - but hes equally committed to collecting the best pieces of vinyl that walk the earth. you can hear it in his tracks for this desolat release: a solid understanding of the space between the beats and the subtly textured samples that help make up a fine dance-floor groove. tracks like get me out and bitchual linestepper use tight drum loops to build the kind of stealth attack that lends itself to dancefloor damage. on naggin me the building blocks that make up the classiest 4/4 recordings are reshuffled and stretched out - from here to mars and back

3 slices of soulshine magic make up the ep with the uks own perempay n dee getting the benedetti magic and soulshine newcomers victor da silva & junior white both make stellar debuts. dj support tedd patterson, richard earnshaw, random soul, dj rork, dj jorg, ralf gum, aaron ross, roberto de carlos, martin soul purpose ikin, look at yous dj dealer, davidson ospina & craig bartlett

hot on the heels of the highly acclaimed borrowed 4 comes the next installment. after the eighties-fest of its predecessor, borrowed 5 brings us up to date(ish) with a couple of funked-up dj-friendly house stormers guaranteed to make your dancefloor move! track a kicks things off in style with a couple of naughty samples from a cartoon monkey band (who could that be?) building into clav keys and vocoded vocals. a party tune! ,pure and simple. miss this at your peril! track b takes things deeper with a locked-in and tracky groove built for the early hours. check out the vocal snips and acid riffs!. this has been doing the rounds for a few weeks and feedback has been crazy, a must have!

susu bobien has established herself as one of the signature voices in gospel house music over the last decade. already a widely recognized name in the often cluttered world of house music, susu has vocalled many a championed release across leading labels such as strictly rhythm, slip n slide, azuli, ffrr, nervous, jellybean û and of course nycs own soundmen on wax. this limited ep features 3 lovingly hand-picked (& re-mastered) tracks from the timeless catalogue of susus work on soundmen on wax. each one rightly labeled a classic, and featuring remixes from both sides of the pond, this is certain to become something of a collectors item û make sure you dont miss out

the debut 12inch from finnish duo hannulelauri! first up is glittering night, conjuring visions of 8 bit videogame soundtracks applied to the dancefloor, or an alternative theme to the movie robocop (which lauri seems to have a strong affinity for), with shimmering electric synth chords washing over a commodore 64 groove before a peter hook soundalike drops a lovely bassline, making new order comparisons inevitable (a good thing!). perfect late night machine funk. next is sally 2000, a more introspective piece with insistent digital strings providing the foundation for a childlike toy chime melody, pulsating bass and more as layer upon layer builds to a fuzzed out, pixelated yet beatless climax. finally, the late night vibe continues as sally 2000 gets a version from finlands techno/house master jori hulkkonen who works the tracks pleading strings into a more dancefloor friendly mix, adding perfectly tuned drums and a nice, fat kick but keeping the synth melodies intact and the tempo slower than your normal electrohouse jam. adventurous djs looking for alternative moods need look no further! another strong flexx release.

a new member to the 4lux family the talented alex agore! his productions are drenched with pumping beats, catchy riffs and funky deep grooves. to give some quick references we could say that alexs 1st twelve for 4lux is reminiscent of some of moodymann and theo parrish tunes fused with some dj sneaks uplifting spirits. 4 tracks with the syncopated collage of quiet jingling, subtle handclaps, keyboard melodies, and soul-drenched vocal samples and phat phat basslines! this will sell out even faster then the previous kez ym release on 4lux. you missed that one? don t sleep on this! essential house record.

excellent summer affected, cool and funky ep by mr. braemer. plays by: luciao, brothers vibe, format b, super flu, kollektiv turmstreasse and mihalas safras. try it out on the floor.

time to express is pleased to present the first results of the collaboration between italian producer donato dozzy and colognes finest, cio d or. both artists have recorded seperately for labels such as wagon repair, railyard, aquaplano, motoguzzi, broque and treibstoff. a great three track ep with dirty minimalized techno killers that must be played out loud for full effect! somehow reminiscent to the good old days from minimal unit moebius and plastikman tracks.... when minimal techno wasnt about pleasing the crowd (which it did after all). 3 tracks with deep sub bass driven grooves and distant melodies that move in spirals in and out of the mix with a moving and twisting beat. it s sour and dirty, with a touch of that particular blend of mesmerising techno both producers are known for. the peter van hoessen mix is more upfront and in your face. mental introvert techno tracks that will take the party to another level! tip!

i got my own rhythm and i got my own bass, got my own kickers in my mer ce des... get fresh is the latest single from kid sister, an electro rap gem that manages to put a fresh twist on stunting thanks to kid sis catchy hooks and infinite lyrical charm - who else could shout out louboutins and dominos pizza in the same verse and make both sound equally fly? the tracks clever, thumping production comes courtesy of a trak and xxxchange, who team up to flip zzts indie techno hit lower state of consciousness into a hip hop tempo banger everyone can enjoy.

besides the sublime original version, the >bloodstream ep< also features three exclusive new mixes, each teasing out the songs grace and power in vivid and unexpected ways. the berlin-based producer and remixer henrik schwarz, one of germanys most respected djs, brings his trademark love of jazz and deep house to two separate versions.
schwarz s club mix re-engineers the track as a sleek dance tune, speeding up chris vocal into a restless, nervy, emotionally naked torch song. his dub version, meanwhile, builds into a hypnotic instrumental collage of bubbling beats, twinkling pianos and elastic basslines. at over seven minutes long, not a second is wasted.
by contrast, the chic parisian re-edit maestro pilooski strips the track down into a cubist collage of rhythmic throbs and sparkles, with a staccato piano melody pulsing through it like a heartbeat. it s a playful and vibrant fusion, where soul-baring yorkshire poetry meets sleek french disco chic.

keep me in my plane part 2 is the second part of the succesful single including remixes by reverso 68, the kdms (kathy diamond & maximilian skiba), dj kozes hudson river dub and a stunning modernaire rework. a must have! the danish discorockers whomadewho released their second album in march. and who would ever have thought this: now, one month later, they are everywhere: you can see them on covers of music magazines in germany, france and uk. their concerts are sold out and the blogs freak out about the new singles and weird videos. after the first single the plot now here comes the follow up keep me in my plane divided in two parts!

channel 83 is the new label and production project from ben rymer (gucci soundsystem) and damon martin (disco bloodbath). releasing both edits and original material, the label will focus on a broad range of styles, reflecting the diverse and eclectic tastes of the labels founders. this commitment to diversity is demonstrated on channel 83s first release, tonite/acid crunch. the a side is a slice of euphoric nyc vocal disco that wouldnt have sounded out of place being played at the saint in 1980. originally coming in at under 4 minutes the track has been given a longer more dance floor friendly mix. this track is already gaining attention following its inclusion on disco bloodbaths resident advisor pod cast and is proving popular with the likes of pat mahoney (lcd soundsystem) and mark e. on the flip, acid crunch is a classic late 80s chicago house tune given a modern reboot by the duo.

ed’s first offering for autoreply references the early building blocks laid down by pioneers such as carl craig or robert hood twisting & turning them with his own crisp production & drum programming with the end result being a unique contemporary take on modern dancefloor techno. both tracks effortlessly build teasing as they progress sometimes climaxing but always leaving you thirsty for more. the ballroom is a deep complex work that starts its journey showing the characteristics of a light stepping waltz - as the track progresses something more sinister starts to emerge & the mood subtlety transfers to a dark prominent space tango. this track will not only make you dance, it will also make you feel nervous & excited! the well tempered clavier – this track has it all: dancefloor bomb - dj tool – 9 ½ minutes of absolute linear pleasure making a statement from the word go with its solid kick and catchy lead synth floating in and out of the mix building to an unmissable break which is guaranteed to get cheers from the dancefloor + beyond. serious techno for serious djs. linienwerk – this is the perfect track to help build a room or wake up an afterparty, beautifully paced with an organic feel not to mention the dark synth stabs that seem to cover the entire stereo field.

since its foundation in the year 1995, reykjaviks gus gus are working hard to make this world a less boring place. initially tagged by the press as the next big icelandic music export after bjoerk, the band swept away all cliche thinking with their highly infectuous metrosexual multimedia pop and secured themselves a deal with the prestiguous 4ad label. &#8233,,,since then a lot of hot water has been ejected by icelands geysers but gus gus miraculously always managed to combine avantgarde with pop, soul and of most prominently - with electronic music. especially with their furious live shows they ve earned themselves a devoted following worldwide. &#8233,,,&#8233,,,this years september will bring us the release of their sixth studio album that goes by the name 24/7. at this point, we dont want to let too much of the cat out of the bag but its certainly right to say that they ve once more reinvented themselves and the result is truely breathtaking. as we re convinced that the world-embracing harmonies and impeccable catchiness of add this song should be heard during this summer season, so we ve decided to already share this with you now. &#8233,,,&#8233,,,the remixes all sound as excellent as their producers: patrick chardronnet, lopazz & zarook and gluteus maximus...

this record is a well thought selection, all tracks are different and individual. its the second release on the berlin based label nights in gale, run by patrick graeser and mike vamp. squalid is made for the big rooms. the big bass, the big bang, the big machine. a saw soothy bass is driving the thing forward. claps. hands. delay. squalid remix by tom dicicco - we are in a dark, intense space, filled with something creepy and sonic. this is very detailed and serious soundscaping music for some mind-searching moments on the floor. the 20 year old tom dicicco from northamptonshire dissects the track like a professional killer. squalid remix by david harrow - now take it away, bring in the step, into the basement. the dub veteran harrow brings all his sound experience into his mix and treats his synths like huskies. others would have made three mixes out of the ideas in this track. nights in gale is meant to support serious music. vinyl only, best quality. artists from berlin, england and the us and more to come. available on 300 limited vinyl copies.

due to ongoing demand for this disco licked gem from amsterdams newworldaquarium, a special repress drops next week (yes, very out of the blue!) backed with a long lost dubbed out version from the man himself. special special stuff destined to fly out and not come back again for a long time.

this release is a very special one for us… indeed, roskow kretschmann has been for years one of the music makers that surprised us constantly and teased our appetite, displaying his rich musical background inside of projects like jazzanova, kosma or sygaire. the tracks selected by dairmount (after hours hanging out in roskows sound lab over the years) are genuinely outstanding in his entire discography. they sound like no others and reveal rare aspects of his >musical persona<. this is why they are representing perfectly our quest for >hybrid club music< crossing the lines of the original spirit of house & techno. the ep opens with the futuristic techno soul of the time is now. perfectly named, the tune fuses with class, dusty jazz samples, obscure soul vocals, juicy claps and overwhelming detroit techno keys. the result is a timeless club monster for the deepest moments. the second track that blasted us is mono:poly rightly shaped for audacious djs that enjoy to play >special< things. the track is supported by a solid programming as fellow beatmakers like mark pritchard, recloose or kenny dope originated in the 90s, mixed with biting analogue pressure, crazy batucada elements & a magic breakdown for all the lucky ones that will play it in the sunrise this summer. and last but not least, one of the label mavericks, marlow created a hell of a remix by delivering a 10 minutes techno epic that would make our detroit godfather c2 blush of satisfaction. thanks to all of them for the fantastic music

soul camps smashing dubbed out, boogified original ( released on scr007 ) returns in 4 mixes by a finger-licking allstar cast. sense records artist soul parlor donats a laid-back, smoked out off-beat funkster with blinding rhodes, edgy, sharp beats and futuristic sounds galore. french production team affol’man keep the funk level high but this time embeded in a raw, slow-burning 4/4 groove that shows some oldschool hip-hop attitude. martin landsky and michael vater ( aka phonique ) represent the intim label in fine style: stripped down with loads of room for the original organ pads, subtle percussion patterns in the background and a dangerous bassline with a dub leaning. hamburg house messengers snider ( silver recordings ) and titus keep it on the dub side with a growling, slow-burning groover that twist your heads with some strange, haunting string stabs and hits you low at the same time with it’s gnarling analogue bassline. top-notch package bringing the goods for just everyone!
