in 2003 after a long period of militance in the illegal rave scene, mr. 3p and nrn (minimal rome) decided to make their own label. they noticed that it was a good moment to expand romes electro-techno scene. it was a simple enough story...they would choose tracks from their friends and publish them, then travel around europe to find shops and/or distribution interested in their stuff. consequently they claim they are mainly inspired by trucks, roads and travelling.acid basslines and hard 808s are the main ingredienst of their style. this means acid inspiration filtered by the latest innovations of technology. classic electro & techno with no messing around. from rome.

beretta grey presents the second record by detroit duo >reference< a.k.a. luke hess & brian kage.. >reference vs. vol 1<, consists of collaboration with other key beretta grey artists ryan crosson and seth troxler. each song was carefully developed by all artists simultaneously. sessions were held at interstellar studios in detroit with all artists present. the initial musical concepts were recorded and written. next, the songs were sent back and forth until the finished product was agreed upon by all parties. in this fashion, the music created provides the character and soul of each artist, but fused together in a way that creates a more detailed account. one perspective alone does not capture the whole story. in this release, a feeling is captured by four artists, giving the listener a bigger picture, which helps to better capture the concepts of sound as it relates to a moment in time

the long awaited trentemøller debut album - maybe one of the most anticipated independent albums of the year. trentemøller is one of the hottest artists on the electronic circuit - the man of the moment! a beautifully crafted, astonishing masterpiece, that will leave you breathless. the tracks form a story, almost like the soundtrack of a movie. it manages to capture a whole range of emotions in subtle melodic miniatures, dreamy ambiences, dusty beats, deep dub-tracks and driving groove-excursions. an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colours and moods, -the last resort- without a doubt contains trentemøllers best work to date. although its an electronic album, it also incorporates live-drums, guitars, bass and other acoustic instruments like celesta, glockenspiel, melodica and even dj scratching to create a more organic feel

this ep is a mix of old house, acid, new beat with the new sound master technics. its really good for big sound system!!!

sawtooth - lately this term appears quite often and not only in reviews for the new dapayk solo album „devil’s house“. with „acid pornofski“ he demonstrates that the tracks on his album do not mark the end of the story. wrapped in a single release with „right here with me“ and „how low“ on the a-side you can see dapayk’s true colors on the very b-side. and of course it’s a lot easier to do so on a single. like back in the best days of rave you hear the endless modulation of a monstrous acidbassline. everybody who has experienced one of dapayk’s live pas knows how sweaty these sets are about to end. and for the last few months „acid pornofski“ is neither seldom nor randomly the peak

limited edition - clear vinyl 300 copies - amplified people is a personal story vision of pop with electronic music proposals. not dj nor clubber, frederic verdier didn’t live if the first free parties experiences nor dancefloor revelations, he’s only under vinyls and cds effect. his meeting with krikor and the netlabel valiza tools gives him a chance to appear on the collector cd >musique jetable< and then to release its first ep “tough guys don’t dance” in 2004. one year later he meets up the label od records which produces its second ep >ford capri< in rather minimal-house mood. on this same label, house of dick voodoo, ascii disco, heko, and mondwest, amplified people is now more influenced by club and mental. he releases its third ep >cannon jack<, masterised by laurent ho

this brand new and long awaited follow up 12-inch single release by off the record is finally here! its been quite a while since their first release >robot gang ep< (sen-003) came out and took the dancefloors by storm. all the wait has been well worth though, as this talented duo is back on track with their trademark rough & raw drum sounds, killer breaks and bridges. such elements can be found directly from the starting track >tel aviv – japan<, which combines nicely minimalist techno / house sound architexture with simple, yet effective groove, and it grows humble and slowly to reach up its peak moment what goes like: splash! in ya face! there you have it! guaranteed to lighten up any dancefloors, it s dangerously explosive and has amazing flavour on the rocks! having said that, on demand producer and remixer ran shani (crosstown rebels, breastfed, cr2 records) was kind enough to contribute his absolutely fabulous and fantastic remix work of >in your mind< track. he pushed the track to the next level and came up with a truly club oriented pulsating dance track with extra crispy and tasty beats. rotating 360 degrees panorama effect on female vocals coming in as the track rolls further right after the break is surely enough to explode some minds on the dancefloors. watch this man out! perfect end to an extended play here is the only track offering a mini lovestory: >shes lost her mind> is a true and cold hearted, crucial story about a tech savvy clubgirl falling in love in a binary world full of zeros and ones, finding computers and turin machines sexually more attractive companions to better have fun with rather than getting accustomed to that old fashioned missionary position carried out by her human boyfriend. floating, dubby and rather melancholic, but definitely not a sad song! but one thing is for sure regarding that twisted story after all: someone has truly lost her mind somewhere along the way …

played by karotte (great stuff / cocoon rec)!! pacey lynn woke up. in the distance one can hear the first bars of her song and she has to hurry- to be on the dance floor on time. the beat is driving her. her heart is beating in the four-fours and bevore the magic melody is triggered she raises her arms and kisses the dj. and he takes her in his >big balloon< that, without any ballast elegantly dances through the sky exciting the left behind earthlings. such as the >phantom< does- dressed in a thick bass coat in paceys world does his nuisance. a true story, musically told by marcus meinhardts stories. can be cached on the upon you 016

fresh from his recent 24/7 recording sessions comes this ultra powerful double sider destined to blow your headz and keep yer feet dancing on a never ending story. no need being a musicologist to realize where gigolo takes his major influences from sounding like a blatant contemporary response to disco don giorgio moroders classics with a deep cinematic emphasis as created by the synth lines. meanwhile klubhead takes where those ultra magnetic grooves which would make the reputation of the zanzibar such as underground solutions luv dancin or dee dee braves my my lover left in the beginning of the nineties.

us mc cadence weapon delivers a hot electro hip hop/dubstep blend for fans of spank rock, dizzie rascal or lady sovereign.

the term >ballad< is written similarly in many languages of the western hemisphere. it is a antique word. you can find its etymological origin in the latin verb >ballare< - which means >to dance< - and the greek verb >ballein< - wich means >to move<. a ballad is always a story told through music. in recent times the term >ballad< is often associated with greasy / absurd pop music. what a shame! ballad inc. releases tracks that earn the label >ballad<. on our first release >exile< you can listen to the epic story >high hopes of salvation< by quietpoint and to two short stories by xdb. >anilem< and >jupit< got everything a ballad needs. of course you can dance to it. of course you can move your body. but this should not be the main issue! there is so much more in modern instrumental music. who needs words to tell a story?

although only 23 years of age englishmen cris barratt is already considered one of the hottest new producers on the block. what makes him really special is his unique blend of sounds, which is not melodic house, minimal, tribal, rock electro or techno, but at the same time it is all of that. two tracks on this ep are the best reflection of chris >get maximal< approach: he builds the story slowly, upgrades the basic theme bit by bit, then weaves in another leading theme and spices the blend with unexpected small but effective element from the late 90s. the result of this blending is very rich, warm sound, perfect for the parties somewhere at the seaside. re-release

the ravage continues with demolition 10, the vinyl sampler! including a broad range of hardcore tracks by promo, d passion and n vitral. following up on the great impression of the tablet promo continues his story telling vibe with a brand new track. the b side contains tracks by two artists which are definitely carved out of the hardest of ttm wood. self made is a perfect example of the typical hardcore sound by d passion. recognizable and at all times party minded! the darkest experiments from this collection of demolition beats come from n vitral and his defliction production, complicated at first but ever so driving in a hard industrial tech kind of way.

bitches brew are back with their next wild installment - purple somersault. if the previous release was filed under country dub tronica, this release is psychedelic surf cosmic disco. kind of like link wray wipes out with giorgio moroder. an interesting and rather beautiful concept, in fact the whole wild rumpus story is rather interesting and beautiful. two pioneers of forward thinking music, but from very different backgrounds combine to make the kind of music you simply cant ignore but at the same time cant quite put your finger on.

biggest release on oslo so far!! big with ricardo villalobos, zip & tobi neumann & others. after making a statement with his gualia ep, johnny d continues his story of feel for groove and ecstatic party with his orbitalife ep, giving us another proof of his extraordinary talent. absolutely funky and without any compromises, that’s orbatilife.

with there trademark gold-colored vinyl pressings and forward thinking sound - the dinner label created a serious buzz amongst many serious players! the talented anton pieete finally receives the credits he deserves and many of his productions (and co-productions with for example bart skils) are charted by top jocks like adam bayer, 2000 and one and shinedoe! museum is a collab between radial man jeoen liebregts and anton. the boys spit super clean, hefty material and fuse dark offbeat with stripped down grooves. this is another showcase of topnotch productional craftsmanship! they do deserve there own money!

>this sound< is the sound of def jaguar (aka djuma soundsystem) and best mate flip. you might remember the djumas from last years >les djinns< on get physical but this is a completely different story. >this sound< is pure catchy and sexy pop-house at its best. its a flirt tool! berghain/panorama bar resident murat tepeli (playhouse/ostgut) follows with a properly crafted remix. anyone said chicago? yes, house keeps our heart pumping. this is a dj tool for the discerning selector. on the flip side, the classy joachim spieth (paso/kompakt) is set to deliver…and he delivers, no doubt about it! he shifts the cosiness of the original towards deeper and hypnotic areas turning a house anthem into a techno anthem! to finalise the matter, dubnoodles (milnor modern/rundlauf) pumps fresh energy into his remix with help from a fat bass spiced up with unexpected indie flavoured grooves!

big support by richie hawtin, ricardo villalobos, paco osuna, marco carola, xpansul, davide squillace... after his summer holidays in miami, damian schwartz has rediscovered his kinky latino side. his new release is a story about futuristic techno, mental and contorted dance music seasoned with a salsa flavour. química afluencia (mupa 006) is the product of the chemistry affecting the brain of an individual for whom the obstacles are unknown, now focusing his talent on a black as night house, bigger and fatter than ever. >1568 drexel av< is a conga battle, full of bitter rhythms and syntethized sounds, friction for best possible dancefloor, the one that is in your brain. *2020 replicates this same adn but in different secuences: tons of sick and nasty grooves that make you sweat like hell. just a few artist have damian schwartzs capacity of going a step further on each one of his releases

kitsune season compilation returns, the fifth of its kind and still homemade and gold wrapped. on board this time there are young girls, sea dogs, californian twins, young wolves and loonies. a wonderful mess, a spontaneous shamble that screams out loud. all of this because of gold rush fever.

played by todd terje, tim sweeny, mungolian jet set, bill brewster, dj cosmo and more. on this release they don’t seem to hide their combined love for soundtrack and trip hop at all! the heavy sonic landscape that is painted then suddenly gets some strokes of warm synthetic keys while a mid tempo 4/4 bass drum hypnotically keeps you going towards the end. finally you kindly get administered a dose of druggy guitar for maximum distortion effect.on the flip norwegian top-flight psychonauts mungolian jet set show their genius by telling a totally different story. for their dark & gloomy medievel knievel version the main theme from bs&f gets many variations and transpositions.this is a genuine and highly intelligent epic dance floor masterpiece not for the faint-hearted!

one of the best justice tracks ever !! incl soulwax and boys noize mixes. on the a side, the whole phantom story is related, part 1 + part 2. on the b side, soulwax bring their trademark, a meticulous sonic exploration plus some extra sensory abuse thrown in for good measure to the head-swirling disco violins of phantom pt 2. peddling a noisy , pummeling and instantly likeable electro-house style, boys noize is responsible for this big out-and-out phantom vox mix!

this time we ve taken a trip to israël where deep a & vek are from. these two youngsters produce deep and hypnotising minimal that is hugely inspired by heroes like chaim or guy gerber. they gave us three tracks that each and every one are a story on itself. all tracks take their time to build up to a climax and bubble out into soundscaped synth lines and carefully constructed melodies, aiming not only on the mind, but also at your feet.

the story of steppah huntah is the story of two musicians - steven j, a bass player and oless t, a pianist, and a chance meeting at a strasbourg jazz club one autumn evening in 2002. the duo were soon inspired to work together to fuse their love for jazz, afrobeat & funk in the service of a new driven sound, powered by the seemingly endless possibilities offered by new computer technology. instinctively, the musicians looked west to the emerging beat and kind of jazz style, deeply influenced in their musical experimentation by pioneers such as incognito, talking loud label. remix made by japanese producer and dj whos made a name for himself worldwide in the last few years is mitsu the beats. that makes his beats very original & unique & not belonging to any one kind of music.
