franco cinelli, one of the most gifted new producers coming out of argentina, presents here six uncompromisingly quirky club bombs. his previous releases on milnor modern and telegraph have just warmed you up to his sound. now dive in to >profundo amor< and get familiar with these intricately programmed club stompers. you can call it minimal, but when these tracks go ripping through a big pa, thats the last word that will be on your mind. with the opening track >flog<, you get a taste of the freaky after-hours grit that alphahouse records is becoming known for. >m26< is a robotic hair-raiser for the new generation. think minus on steroids. >twisted machine< features a stompy groove and some snare work to drive the dancefloor. >vertientes< is a great dj-tool with a low-slung bassline and dancing synths. >c3d< bounces along with a razor bassline and some tricky transitions. and >project 64< finishes off the lp with a synth line that falls out of the ceiling and straight onto the dancefloor. truly inspiring stuff here, from franco. no filler tracks. all of these are a-sides

the 1987 debut album by us rockers guns n roses! includes welcome to the jungle, paradise city and sweet child o mine!

classic stones-album, digital remastered!

fresh fish presents an ep which is so far that you don t even notice how close it is. colombian paulo olarte is coming with a 4 tracker piece of vinyl to make you dance and and get you in touch with deep love. passion in the midpoint this beats and pads are gonna make you sweat. hypnotizing tracks of the latenight excursion class, featuring layers on layers to create a carpet of sound that slowly gets your mind to upper levels from which it s difficult to come back. the vocals let us imeditly think of “love on the street” and “solo tu” (including isoleé remix), last one raised quite a storm and was played in every afterhour all over the globe and appeared on many compilations like sven väths ibiza mix cd “the sound of the 8th season” or dinky’s “get lost” mix. so romantic has never left the hamburg label and it seems that it is here to stay. “tan lejos tan cerca” what else can we say

after the success of dave armstrong & redroche feat h boogie love has gone, redroche has pulled together with a smashing tune titled give u more. think daft punk on steroids. already being championed by the likes of axwell, the dons, kris menace & stonebridge to name afew. expect this one to go the distance. this is just gonna want you screaming give me more!!!!

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.

zero cash is back, served in slices! dont say what you think comes at you with two different versions, both hot out the over. the main mix is straight ahead, bangin and dark for the peak hours and tends to make you very nervous. the alternate mix takes you down the dial to minimal/sci fi soundtrack land slathered over an intentionally thicker crust. both mixes are hot and heavy and not for the feint of heart. then in classic zero cash style he lightens stuff up for the b side with more than enough taking you on an electro journey remniscent of 80s cop shows and shoot em up video games. served in slices, get em while they re hot!!!

likely ep is tims first release on tiefschwarzs souvenir label. lead track alike sounds like ivan smagghe jamming with richie hawtin in a warehouse rave in london, skirting a line between futuristic tech house and discerning electro. a live bassline holds down the groove as a trickling bleepy melody develops throughout the track. as more and more layers of elaborate sonic trickery are laid down, a driving snare jacks out the groove further before a series of effects laden breakdowns tighten the tension further and further. cowbells take the second phase of the track ever taughter before the groove emerges into a stabbing hook and pulsating synth noises that drive the dancefloor into blissed out oblivion. subtle vocals tease the ears in the background of the final strung out breakdown, never quite dominating the tune before the jacking bass and kick drop back in. ‘unlike shares a similar vibe for mixing live instruments with plug in madness. live sounding bassline and guitar lines open the track and roll out the groove before the main synth hook takes over. as the track rolls in and out of its breakdowns it lurches between reverb heavy, bleepy chaos and futuristic rhythms. think depeche mode writing an experimental instrumental on the moon in 2012 and youre halfway there. like many french artists these days tim lives and works in london and also collaborates with fellow frenchies ivan smagghe and dante eprom. he first caught the attention of vinyl sleuths with his excellent remix of db (8)s future now in 2004 and now runs his own label marketing music as well as pushing the boundaries of spacey electro flavoured tech house with his own solo material.

sexplosion, the new ep from lenfant terrible of sophisticated techno, seth troxler-here recording under his debauched alter ego sex trothler-is a complex, multifaceted, and yet decidedly horny affair. these are the sounds of doing unspeakable and anonymous things to girls in dark backrooms and being too confident to regret it the next day…the sounds of your favorite sexual memory transformed by your overactive fantasy life into scenes of utter perversion. the first track, jusyour, combines troxlers signature use of the classic, organic sounds of detroit house and techno with an avant-garde, fragmented, almost mournful sensibility. its a contemporary jack track as appropriate for a dark, seedy club as it is for an afterparty orgy on your friends broken futon. its almost as if music could yearn and sweat and think all at once. its followed by a brief vocal internude to remind you that being a good lover always means having enough of a sense of humor to laugh at other people laughing at yourself. think tinkertoys meets the wu-tang clans black shampoo. humor aside, the final track, face, utilizes airy percussion and deep, almost cinematic chords (reminiscent of troxlers remix for another precious youth, nicolaas jar on new yorks wolf+lamb label). its masterful and restrained use of processed vocals manages to leave behind so much of the pointless darkness that has plagued techno, whether minimal or otherwise. it builds slowly yet aggressively, like a hard, focused grind with someone you cant actually even really stand. this is music for people whose time at art school was spent getting naked and not hating themselves for it.

supported by, carl cox!!, john digweed, dj remy, dave seaman, sander kleinenberg, dj preach, mark broom, spiros kaloumenos, renato cohen, cristian varela… its time for some risky business: lets play bryzant games! in his typical easy-going and open-minded, limitless way, definition records label boss christian fischer strikes back by nonchalantly pulling out a brand new installment of his definition of maximum sound of his sleeves. freely exploring the outer limits of the electronic music universe with his new long-player, it is up to you where you want to take it: to the floor or to extremes! you choose! whether you prefer techno, electro or minimal, ranging from powerful floor tunage to melodic meltdowns, bryzant games has it all.

one of kontors current most succesful artists ian oliver is back with a new one! allthough he only did remix on tropa de elites rap das armas, you can definetly hear ian olivers one a million touch. proven his quality on bucovina and vino vino we absolutely think that this remix of the famous brazilian theme has a high potential being a hit in the next months

dj support: umek, luca morris, oliver koletzki, emanuele inglese, chris liebing,.. hell yeah is proud to welcome italian dj/producer dyno on board. the cocoricò resident dj has made a name in the circuit for supersounding techno tunes on italian mantra vibes. this first ep on hell yeah shows up his ability to combine dark tinged melodies (robottino) with dynamic hard grooves (guerra aperta) and weird minimal trickness (teoremia), he keeps the dj friendly factor high without losing the alternative edge of his music... we think that dyno is about to become a key player in the techno community in the next months....you know where youve seen him first

a1// >heidschnukke<. roddy was inspired by nordic sheep named >heidschnucke< to do this housetune. funky chords, spherical pads and a booty shaking rhythm groove together and lead you to the dancefloor. a2// >sunprooft< by sasch bbc. if you party open-air and reach the point the sun is rising, this is the track you think you have to play! sasch bbc delivers a playful anthem, laced by elements of funky percussion and lush atmospherical chords. b1// >heidschnukke< terry lee brown jr. remix. hertzmusic welcomes terry lee brown jr. with a delightful remix of roddys a1 track. the tlb remix shifts the hole tune a little deeper with smoothly distorted rhodes and a solid bassline

another ep on einmaleins by our beloved miskate ! a great 3 track come back. bric a brac comes with weird and trippy sounds with hypnotic voices building and then gets funky funky elements and great groove! whats the point is more tight techno with dark elements that make u think u r in out of space, definatly an after hour track to twist minds! the lazy mouth remix is on the flipside, more stripped down techno, repetitive with crazy synth! one more release ready for the dancefloor!

big minimal tech 4 tracker with support by richie hawtin, marco carola, paco osuna !!

limited to 500 copies on coloured vinyl !!! the mysterious intrusion project (feat. on echospace 007) emerges once again and delivers another epic release. throughout the original mix of >tswana dub< you find smooth textured pads and a bassline even the mighty king tubby would surrender to. the melodies evolve in slow motion over time as the synth hits open and close into a fierce midnight skanking session so lo-fi you would think this was recorded at studio 1 in the 1960s. on the flip side brendon moeller serves up heavy bass reductions, live melodicas, brass sections and spatially aware dub fx. the phase90 mix dissects intrusions original into a full spectrum spatial affair as deep as the sea, epic and beautiful...

a bouncey groove that always works the dancefloor. atnarkos best work to date we think. jt donaldson is back with more of his disco cut up action on artboogiemusic the b1. aps n kirby from france smooth things out with a tasty deep track for the deeper house heads.

deb?t-album der viel gelobten indie-rock-newcomer mit den 5 hitsingles und 7 neuen tracks.

classic, must have collectors item!! soundtrack for the homonymous animation movie!!

what a package! the 12th release of knee deep usa brings a whole heap of different styles. from the disco-ish knee deep mix, through the haunting deep & stabby jamie lewis remixes, onto the french styled lorenz rhode remix. there s plenty of music for all on here! raaah, all mixes are fucking bad but i think the lorenz rhode is something special for the white island! maximum support from me! grant nelson thanks. all mixes are working especially the lorenz remix. will play. thanks for the music as always. cj mackintosh nice tune.. like the kneedeep mix, good to hear some soulful house of this quality.. another quality tune from a quality label.. kid massive lovin knee deep mix. dr steve im lovin this , great summer groove james blond

with already massive support from jocks like technasia, valetino kanzyani, mauro picotto, james kameran and many more chris liebing is starting a new label called spinclub recordings. the first release is by spinclub resident dj emerson, already known for his releases on kiddaz fm and microfon. on this first ep on scr, dj emerson features his familiar dry techno. to the efficiently and solidly working cut the crap on the a-side, he opposes with the spectacular mr. nice on the b-side. mr nice starts off in a restrained way. in the break you could almost think it would lose itself in an ocean of delay, if, yeah if not suddenly this striking bassline would emerge. it starts rolling, turning the track around 180 degrees, transforming it into a rampaging peaktime monster. for the one who wants to put an exclamation mark in his set, voila

just quality house feat. male & female vocal hooks... we love it

berlin based artist namito, well known for his releases on kling klong or great stuff with his first ep on blufin cologne. >clouds in my coffee< has a great melancholic & dreamy atmosphere, some will think its trancy - we call it modern for sure! perfect tune to let yourself go and raise up the hands! with martin eyerer a good friend was invited to deliver an additional remix for his ep that suits the underground taste more then well. hypnotic, repetetive & strong in drumming this should be blasting speakers all over the globe. massive one! hope u enjoy!

played by: akufen, laurent garnier, pheek, electric indigo ,… trimsound return from a winter hibernation with a fresh release for you this spring - this time our special guest is canadian whizzkid frivolous (~scape / background / karloff / epsilonlab) providing us with a quality blend of quirky electro-tinged micro-house with a brilliant dancefloor vibe. next up leifs infectious warm dubbytech-house track brings things a little bit deeper - in line with his latest release on fear of flying records. on the flipside, tom ellis jacked-up funk sound absolutely rocks it - tom is on fire at the moment with releases lined up on minibar, musique risquee and hartchef amongst others. finally, joe ellis tops off this awesome ep with a deep jazzy chord-driven groover akin to his productions on new netlabel paperscissorstone.

introvert (aka jukka varis) was born in northern finland in 1982. he lives now in helsinki, which is situated in the southern coast of finland. he has been making music for over 7 years, including progressive house back in 2004-2005 and his first own release from aurium records. the words >original<, >emotionally attractive<, >artistic<, >atmospheric< and >experimental< are the best to describe introvert’s sound. it gives people different moods and visions, something to listen closely to and to think about, and it works on the dancefloor too.

we think this is the dirty work of the leeds freek! this just works! you know you need it!

the polytechnics ep is the second release on df by silver city following the superb dubby ep from 2006. on the a side, the title track polytechnics has electrofunk vibes blending perfectly with new wave sensibilities. think greg wilson mixing up gary numan and you wont be far off. it rocks! and on the flip, nu disco don pete herbert (reverso 68/lsb) cuts up pendulo a heavily arrpegiated disco stormer and transforms it into yet another disco bomb. this was an edit that pete knocked together for his own dj sets and we loved it so much we just had to put it on the vinyl. last, but in no way least, is victoria jam which is a no nonsense heads down groover of a track that will get your dancefloors rocking. seriously good music. enjoy! plays by: ashley beedle, llorca, fabrice lig, electric press, reverso 68, munk, murray richardson, ajello, dubious...

two tracks which have been tested to satisfaction in live sessions around the globe during the last months, loved by the girls, envied by the boys, two dense character studies of epic scale where every small detail morphs into a very hookline, relaxed and ambitious at the same time. yep, this guy could even produce a soundtrack to a speck of dust and still everybody would think it’s star wars.

funky edits and space out sounds.. quartz is a multitalented producer from italy who made his name in various styles of music. known for this extremly high quality productions he got releases to his name on ascend / default / advanced / zync and many more. for this syndikaat release he digs deep into his soul and creates a lucious peace of vinyl ready to explore the dancefloor with its irresistable drive, funky edits and space out sounds.

cosmic club is a label focused on releasing original obscure dance classic. for this 5th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 2 fantastic trax once again, brand image are you lovin? a pure cosmic italo disco gem, a track very rare to find and sought after in its full instrumental version, it made us think about an italo disco version of chk chk chk!!! and as a bonus we put also on the b side, another italo cult classic from lectric workers the garden, both tracks have been played by the big daniele baldelli for years now and obviously all the italo cosmic disco freaks on this planet!

an incredible ep with namlook exploring the edges of minimal techno and deep ambient, while the remixes are pepe bradocks most dancefloor oriented works in ages! macro delivers a stunning release by a man who has not only produced 3 collaborational albums with richie hawtin, but also runs the ultra influential fax label with an artist roster ranging from speedy j to bill laswell to klaus schulze: namlook is a true electronic pioneer in a league of his own. the track >subharmonic atoms< was produced back in 1995 and is re-released by macro as a long out of print electronic prototype on the edge of minimal techno and ambient. but dont think this is a retro affair: subharmonic atoms sounds incredibly fresh and proves it is as groundbreaking, innovative and timeless as jeff mills early axis works or hawtins concept1 series. entirely remastered from the original source and cut in unparalleled sound quality, it is available on a single 12inch side for the first time ever. the release is completed with nothing short but french remix master pepe bradocks triumphant return to the dancefloor. his versions of >atoms< are rocking upfront house burners, which his fans have been waiting for since 2003s intrusion ep. definitely one of this years hottest packages

excellent disco electro !! great follow up on the finger food ep. on the a side a smooth grooving disco affair they are known for. working the floor with some great melodic disco that sounds impressive on a big system. on the flip side two amazing tracks... >mirror men< is a totally unexpected electronic disco funk track with some wave influences. very classy and masculine track! >autumn abyss< is a sweet and soulful track we would expect on a kool and the gang album, think summer madness style, with its incredibly warm sounding instruments

phonogenics >postcard< is slow burner, building and rising to a eventual climax of melancholic underwater deepness. this song will no doubt be played by those in the later time slots and anyone who wants to add a little journey to their mixes. our main man dex aka dave barker is back with another slice of some quality melodic quirky goodness. >yikes!< has a very chopped up funk/soul feel mixed with solid house beats. studio trickery and a hidden japanese opera helps the track evolve from its soulful beginning to another world entirely. finally, we are very pleased to bring you the first of many musical efforts from amantu wilde. not much is known about amantu as he is a bit of a recluse and does not offer up much information about himself. >g-g-got my eyes on you< is a very retro sounding track reminiscent of some classic new wave jams. pseudo industrial percussion and excellent filter work make this track something to remember. something strange for sure but we think people will like the break from the mod rn sounds

brand new release from madd chaise inc. with more of a techno edge than previous outings. we think this is one of the most promising labels coming from detroit at the moment, along the likes of fxhe and underground quality - so do not sleep! >come with me<, the long-awaited >moonhacker< and >solitaire< are definitely club bangers, while >we are< is reminiscent of old skool soul sonic force. a carnival of funk, foot stomping, pulsating grooves

taken from the patterns 25 - elton d dropped a fresh n funky piece of tech-house material on that.. the tune is reconstructed by some of the hottest stars in the bizz. what to think of marco nastic, who recently turn just about everything into gold! murphy and fischer take thing slightly deeper, where the essential parts of the original by elton are left intact. the brazilian techno artist also present a suitable follow up to this magnificent dancefloor smasher

the futurebuzz ep, the name is apt as i am sure heads are gonna be buzzin to this record well into the future. this release features a full cut from label owner troydon and also a new artist named datakid who i think is gonna do the do in 08 by the sounds of things.

continuing in our quest to break some new ground and bring some new sounds to the fore, universal vibes presents the onaz. standing out from the crowd, with a bit of a unique sound and outlook, the onaz is a new artist who we think fits right in with the leftfield vibe we are going for with the universal vibes label. the onaz mainly subscribes to nudisco music influenced by emperor machine, lindstrom and prins thomas however, his production of the form is more minimal.this sound combines the deep electronic disco stylings of lindstrom, prins thomas et al with the edgy techtronics and beat trickery of seiji and the west london mob. resulting in a deep, minimal edgy dancefloor led sound that stands out from then crowd

first single to be lifted from the forthcoming lp is a flawless representation of some of the freakishly danceable tracks contained therein. a wholly original mashup of electronics, my heart rate rapid is sheer falsetto laden, drum battering brilliance. although metronomys elliptical, insidious, multi coloured art pop sounds nothing like colognes legendary purveyors of prog disco, can do offer clues to the lineage the band belong to. add early brian eno, sparks, devo, talking heads, soft cell, and then scratch your head for more recent examples of abstract music, full of experiment, risk, and individuality that somehow resolves itself into pop that makes you sing and dance and feel like a big kid and you realise that you cant think of any, because metronomy are, in the current pop milieu, an utterly unique proposition.

viper xxl and dj lukas join the manic pets for another distorted nightmare into the sounds of the ever growing mayhem that is dogs on crack vs. katz on k. ruin the dark is the 1st twisted output delivering the usual offerings of intense chaos ground together with the dark hearings of a mental ward. if you think you are the dogs bollox think again - ruin the dark is set to separate the pitbulls from the poodles..

lars wickingers the clown is a great track from a great producer.....with releases on labels such as traum schallplatten and liebe he managed to stand out from the masses and present his own amazing style! 2.nicolas stefans hide this feeling a track that will for sure move the dancefloor. after his last releases on karatemusik and my best friends his is now putting all his effort on his latest release on rhythmetic records. 3. kidlans dopamine a surprise track on this ep from 3 producers that experiment and influence with their style. just listen to it and if you think that people can handle it spin this track on your record players. 4. theodoris triantafillous suspicious behavior deep down and groovy... a vocal track from a great greek producer with still lots to show in the upcoming years. full supported by : jaumetic, monoroom, dave dk, leon segka, mark henning, rob melo, gerome sportelli...

a rolling slice of thunderous proggy house, straight up no messin dancefloor business!!

yam who brings two new productions to super promising new uk label electric minds in his typically polished style. the aside wanna make luv is a pretty message direct from the off. a relentless fusion off synths stabs & vocoder action whilst the 80s electro phunk groove is totally banging & insistent, i think the bottom line is they re saying they want to do it but in a futuristic retro stlyee! the b side buzz reaction is one for all those crazy mid tempo hedonist playboy warehouse parties. perfect to be dropped in your disco ballrooms, full off twisted flute solos, italo vocal chants, afro percussion and one hell of a heavy bottom end. a leftfield balearic bomb is very soon about to drop somewhere in londons eastside!

incl great john selway dub-techno remix.. the second installment on forward think label hej records is a special collaboration between label owners punisher ( michelle herrmann ) and john overfiend ( matt caputo ). the title track thermal underwear begins with a hypnotic melody that envelopes you and the lush atmospheric synths float over, as if preparing you for the coming bass storm. the minimal yet driving, chunky shuffled beats hit hard and your body moves to the infectious rhythm.

twisteds first 12 on grid of 2008 is the start of a whole load of fresh material we?ll be hearing throughout this year, with 12, eps and a collaboration album with zen in the pipeline. >shit don?t stink< is a message to all those who think they?re a cut above the rest - twisted has come to tell them that isn?t the case!

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything.
