dear all, to start cassius records in a rush heres our first output: the youth, speed, trouble, cigarettes ep. a shout to all kids of earth and ravers at heart, the people for whom dancing late, living fast, getting into trouble and chain smoking is as important as sleeping and checking mails. it contains youth, speed, trouble, cigarettes. a fresh track we did last month and our first cover to date almost cut my hair from the fantastic david crosby, one of the best song ever but done our way. heres the first cassius record! we hope you will enjoy it as we do! we cant wait to give you the follow up but until then happy listening, dancing or whatever ... produced by zdar & boombass.

the make up the break up is the first release on bruno pronsatos own thesongsays label. its the longest track in his catalog (38 minutes), and an even deeper excursion into his stylized harmony. this track was originally a track uncompleted while making, æwhy cant we be like us. revisiting it roughly a year ago, bruno began to reword it. what began as simple attempt to create an ep track out of it became a monster. what monster you ask? in a few words, the monster that is brunos love of musicality and sound design. muscially speaking, we are on a ride somewhere between a slithery house track and a drugged out night out in chelsea, new york in the 60s - and thats a good thing because we get the entirety of the ride: the ups, the downs, the clouded mentality, the broken heart and perhaps the mended one. its happy, its sad - its something that you can dance to, but most importantly, its music that we think you can revisit for many years, as it somehow reflects us, our lives. a playful and extended journey through love and disaster, or at least the soundtrack to it.

daniel mehlhart is an aficionado. that would explain the cosy buzz emblazoning his >coming close<. the deep bass adept prepares some tasty meal here, just like an accomplished cook, pecking only the best ingredients for his versatile tracks. two soulflul clappers are the radiant result, featuring tenderly restored sequences and carefully tailored samplework. gabriel ananda shows off impeccable taste by firing up the robot beatbox for his remix, tuckpointing the sounds so well, that one might want to rub his ears due to so much rapture. three masterbuilders ftw

the third 12 inch in this essential edit series sees greg wilson reference his past as a disco dj in the late 70s and, subsequently, electro-funk pioneer of the early 80s. going way back to his golden guinea days, ruff wrap revitalizes a hidden gem from 1977 by lady love. this version of casey & finchs infectious miami groover, wrap your arms around me, was a record that, although never issued in the uk, was a particular club favourite on merseyside - its local popularity very much down to one of wilsons influences, terry lennaine, who championed the track on his weekly specialist soul show, keep on truckin. moving on 6 years to 1983, ruff rapp re-arranges the seminal west coast rap cut bad times (i cant stand it) by captain rapp, which was a monster tune on the black scene during the electro-funk era, having initially featured at wilsons club nights back then, legend and the hacienda in manchester, plus wigan pier. focusing on the social problems of the time, the subject matter of the lyric certainly translates to the current credit crunch climate. the crew behind >bad times< included jam & lewis and rich cason, whilst kimberly balls excellent vocal sets the whole thing off

the infamous pro team is back for the sequel, its the pro ep 2! promo and the dj producer pronounce their refusal to recognize and deliver you 4 pieces of crossed over hardcore beats. dutch dynamics and british breaks deliver the next step in crowd movements. were talking co op refuse to recognize, an insane producer remix of centrifuge, promos uk experiment cant fake the breaks and a special producer beastly machinery retrofit of dusty old whiplash, originally by beastmachines. original funk with added chaos for premium taste!

weve been pestering the dd boys for some time to release this awesome duo of reworks, and finally its here ! for number 9 in the disco deviance series, dicky trisco dips into the vaults and selects two of his all time favourite cuts and reworks them into fresh new versions dripping in disco boogie and electrofunkin vibes. first up is >come to me< which cuts up kanos >cant hold back (your loving)< and reworks it into an extended summer disco delight that is sure to work the dance floor. while on the flip >rip it dub<, the long awaited dub version of orange juices pop classic, finally sees the light of day and extracts every ounce of the track s original electrofunk flavour and pushes it to the max. more quality vinyl only gems for djs who love the disco sound

ecordings return with another killer just in time for summer. this ep has everything from smooth, downtempo grooves, to jackin, to deep, vocal house. theres a mix for everyone!blockhead has enlisted hanna (freerange) to bring some serious heat for this new release. with remixes from james curd (greenskeepers)giano, manuel sahagun you cant go wrong. theres a mix for every style of house on this ep. with tons of play from mark farina, the lawnchair generals, dj heather etc... you know its got the goods

raindance dates back to 1988 when it was produced by marshall jefferson and featured byron stinglys distinctive falsetto voice. however, despite being intended as the follow up to the classic i cant stay away it never ended up seeing the light of day due to contractual complications involving another artist covering the song.

its already well-known that cocoon recordings is a sucker for tracks that stand out of the usual field of - lets be honest - often uniformly reduced tech-house, and the past nine years of the labels history have proven this sustainably. and the rhein-neckar area based team flatner/lopazz are again two hot candidates to leave their very special mark on the summer of 2009. after all, circlemusic manager alex flatner is rocking the floors as a dj and producer for already 10 years now, having been releasing for labels such as harthouse or black nation, whereas the heidelberg-born stefan eichinger aka lopazz has made himself a name with releases on imprints from the likes of output, international deejay gigolo and mainly get physical. together they celebrate a very funky understanding for percussive techno, which is setting highly meaningful moments for the primetime, particularly by means of lascivious vocals. i wanna take you all night long, for sure! and you definitely cant find a better expression for the perfect pounding symbiosis between bass-focused club stompers and economically dosed pop elements than its time to make up your mind.

excellent detroit/chicago influenced deep grooving - sometimes dubby house tracks!! u cant afford to miss this quality trippy 4 tracker...

rephlex are heralding this ep, wave funk volume 1, as dmx krews best release to date! it represents the first installment of his forthcoming cd release, wave funk, which will be appear later this year as a double cd album. the tracks are in a hip hop/electro/techno/braindance/funky/spacey/tuneful style. enjoy!.

with electric rescue, the french dj d jedi, who is known all over paris, becomes a part of the cocoon family. he is connected with the development of techno in france already since the beginning of the nineties. despite being busy as a producer for commercials and soundtracks, he always finds some time to release exciting electronic music on imprints such as f comm, communique, elp media and paul nazcas label scandium, where he has released his debut album >el.ue< three years ago. with the two tracks on >the darkest star<, electric rescue succeeds in the daring feat of transforming the energy of rave tracks from the early nineties into the present time without producing an anachronistic impression. besides a tectonically shaking bass drum, the title track relies on the power of sound, a superlative of raw club energy with a twist of irony, which can set a surprising climax with a steadily rising noise level, even after almost ten minutes. >the devils dance< is grafting a comparably brute state-of-emergency techno in a somehow restrained way, rhythm-wise, but is no less effective with its distinctive acid sound effects. and who said that modern techno cant use the tradition of belgian rave-signal-floor-burners?

spencer product is back after his debut mix cd product. this time he delivers a party anthem we bite with razor sharp remixes from londons tronik youth and nyc darlings designer drugs. we bite, named after one of spencers classic lower east side sleezefests is an ode to honest to goodness late night debauchery. its all about downtown basements, pbr, dirty sex, cocaine and vomit...what more do you need. spencers original is an overdriven distorted electro rock affair while designer drugs clean it up a bit for the late night electro beatdowns. tronik youth keep things very 80s new wave disco with heavy reverbs on the drums, cheap synths and vocoders all the way...if you cant get a trip in to new york this year just close your eyes and this record will take you there.

lifeworld presents the intergalactic techfunk from the minds of glasgows solab. known for their killer releases on 7th sign and various other labels, you know you re in for something good! distant galaxy is a deep and mesmerizing track. killer beats accompanied by a great grooving bassline provide for a tight back bone. topped by erie synth strings and spaced out effects, this track is a real burner. on the flip we have the killer track new life. this track is simply gorgeous. just check the exquisite multi layered sounds and killer percussion. sleazy and slow paced grooves. this is sssoooo good! last but not least solab take things into much housier territory. wide awake is a static paced dancefloor nugget with a deep bassline and atmospheric soundscapes. the filtered synth sound running through out the whole track gives this track a true house feeling. this just cant go wrong!

villa nah makes pure electronic pop with plenty of emphasis on catchy melodies and meticulously crafted soundscapes reminiscent of the 1980s. stylewise, villa nah is related to 80s bands like heaven 17 or new order, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. once you ve heard their debut single, you ll know that villa nah is about nothing else but their own style and sound. the single opener ways to be is built around a synth bassline, handclaps and the kind of irresistible melody that you cant shake out of your head once you ve heard it. envelope is a tad more dark with an uplifting synth melody serving as a hook. daytime, in contrast to its title, evokes a strong sense of night time. villa nahs vocalist juho paalosmaa is a very charismatic performer, whose great sense of stage drama brings to mind a young glenn gregory or philip oakey. indeed, villa nah is not merely a production duo but an actual band with a live show that is not to be missed.
