tiagos >disambiguation< begins like an aural sea, with a surface made of synthesized swells that rise, fall and crest again. beneath these waves are briefly clangorous metallic noises, searing electro hisses, long-armed synth stretches, and a never ending beat. there are moments of understated beauty floating through this perfect marriage of disco and house, sounds that are there and gone: a bassline that stairsteps and synthetic strings that follow suit: playful keyboard melodies, and percussion provided by tiago himself, who fell in love with music when he learned to play drums as a kid. >nada a perder< (>nothing to lose<) shies away from the extravagance suggested by its name and instead feels relaxed – at least at its outset. against shape shifting synths and the sound of piano house, percussion takes a leading role here, including finger snaps and clanging cowbells. the energy builds to a peak but, even when things are at their most frenetic, this track never loses its studied composure. tiago mirandas remixes and releases have been issued on disco devil, italians do it better, rong music, ene, hands of time, eskimo and claremont 56. he is one half of dj duos slight delay, the sea power & change, and mendes & alçada, and also handles mutiple duties in the band gala drop. tiago has been djing seven hour sets almost every weekend for more than a decade at the infamous lux in lisbon, portugal.

intense, deep,raw and dirty tracks by marco bernardi. his first release on clone records in a while and what a record! two tracks build around unpolished rhythms and open beginning that dont reveal immediately where its going. quiet unpredictable is the a-side that slowly opens up with a sultry string and then completely bursts open with a shiny melody that is in beautiful contrast with the raw percussion. broken silence is another deep track founded on a basic rhythm and metallic detroit bass line. topped with spoken words (by keith tucker from aux88) and bleepy melodies, underlaid with a deeper sexy bassline. a track rooted in the best traditions of techno... weve played this one over and over! machine music by men!

even though youre with another girl is the amazing second single to be taken from trentemoellers stunning new album >into the great wide yonder<.after the huge reaction to the beautiful longplayer, which mixes classic trentemoeller production mastery with more of an analogue, song based, indie-feel,its time to carry on with this intriguing set of remixes.side by side comes a hot 12inch that features remixes by kollektiv turmstrasse and pantha du prince.the kollektives half of the record slaps a heavy dose of deep,dark funk into the mix, with this ingenious lo-slung version. postminimal-punk electronic drums meet warbling synths and reduced,subliminal use of the vocals in a delicate and stylish mixture of pop-meets-deepest-electronica.dials man of the hour pantha du prince creates a typically high-end remix based on his trademark twinkling melodies and warmly grooving understated beats.the dub version twists and turns with unpredictable laid-back intensity as a rousing chorus of strings and harmonic elements fuse under dubbed out vocal elements.

supported by: angel molina, david mothersole, dj tlr, paul woolford, simbad, jörn werner, franck roger, fabrice lig, will o brien, hakim murphy, esther duijn,.. >my electronic soul< is probably one of franco cangellis most personal tracks. slow and almost sensual 909 drums create a sonic canvas on which soulful pads and elegant melodies create a timeless electronic ballad reminiscent of early chicago deep house combined with the melancholy of detroit. as the title suggests, this track pretty much exposes francos true roots and is an ode to those long lost and almost forgotten days. >house for brunch< is another deep house offering with more detroit melodics

solabs music is inspired by the detroit legacy, both in a musical and theoretical approach. the duos tracks have an otherworldliness to them, providing a glimpse at other places, imagined or real. indeed, on celestial tales, the feeling pervades that while the intricately woven melodies and complex beats are beautiful in their own right, they are really just providing pointers to a hitherto unexplored place. the beautifully evocative sounds of this ep work purely on a musical level. solab combine techno & house in a brilliant way making this a sure-shot follow up to their previous lifeworld twelve distant galaxy!

stanislav sevostyanikhin returns under his kontext guise with four tracks of tightest dubtech minimalism on immerse. these are his first konext productions since the impressive >dissociate< album, continuing a trajectory into widescreen dub techno and clipped, post-dubstep rhythm programming. >no more room in hell< combines the luscious atmospheres of pendle coven or bvdub with subtle glitching rhythms, while >daphnia pulex< adds glassy electronic melodies and padded subs to the equation. most interesting of all is >sattva<, rolling raga drones into his morphing dub chords and crafty future garage stabs, kinda like pole meets farben on a dusky autumnal evening. if you ever wanted a more reduced ramadanman, or a glitchier appleblim, this is well worth checking...

the b side starts with >voodoo<, which combines grimey bass and strings with offbeat drums to odd, driving effect and finishes with >xx< which sounds like a long lost golden era 8-bit grime instrumental but with deft production tweaks and fx that keep it interesting and effective.
