and once gain we are back. after a welcome pause dumb unit returns with an energetic four tracker from our man in nyc : elon. a long time label mate elon strips it all back to create a bumping and infectious groove that while resolutely dumb unit is uncharacteristic in its nakedness! no decor here, only pure syncopated and pushing rhythms to notch it up a tad. perfect for leading the lions back to the warehouse and off the beach into the cooler months. >put those shades away son we going inside<. the energetic pacers of elon are complemented by a deeper excursion, a superb exercise one remix that takes the original and works it into a pulsing main floor late night jam.

conforce goes deeper into delsin terrain... a very cool four tracker! preceding the release of his next full length album, dutchman conforce has selected four tracks to release as the dystopian elements ep. but dont let the title fool you because, as is often the case with boris bunnik, there is a warm analogue/digital harmony to his sounds which is more than worthy of its place on delsin

the collaboration between wareika and soukie & windish at this time delivers a very special package. the original is a long atmospheric track, which seems to slow down and after a long and fading break ends up in a deep and cool offbeat. wareikas interpretation is a masterpiece. they played whole part and sounds with their own instruments and added a new baseline, which turns the track into a completely new direction. works for many occasions.

how do you follow-up last years monster mr.spock? of course with something even more ghetto, more dirty and more fun. lezgo is the 2nd collaboration between justin martin and ardalan, a curious bay area duo of master and apprentice that seems to be magic in the studio. this time they delve deep into the footwork meets house sound delivering cool r&b respites inside mega booty grooves for 3 minutes then letting down the hammer on the kick drum in the finale that kills every time. this is the type of tune that gets everyone moving and smiling and makes you wish you had 10 of them just like it in your bag. i ve played this to every type of crowd from techno chin scratchers to college kids, festival crowds, london know-it-alls, fund raising 40+ year olds, deep house heads, post dubsteppers, basement afterpartiers, hip-hop crews, disco kids and straight up ravers. it works everywhere and thats the sign of a big tune.

liverpool is the second release of monkey safaris new mambo label. its a two track ep with a lot of housy monkey fun... as usual. the two tracks, liverpool and berlin are absolutely floorburner, with great, prominent vocalparts and hooklines and big techy grooves. its some kind of that stuff you like it or you hate it... but a lot of big artists love it and play it. played & loved by super flu, riva starr, round table knights, solo, zombie disco squad, rene bourgeois, sascha braemer, mihalis safras, yolanda be cool, olivers, jesse rose, malente and many more

systematic welcomes the polish producer duo pol_on from warsaw who are comprised of kacper bogacz and michal piotrowski. after having released several cool 12 inches on freerange, mothership and get physical the first collabo with systematic recordings was a remix they have prepared for spirit catcher. the a side track >were lost< sounds like an energetic mutation of aphex twin after having played too much with powerful house grooves and >heavy rain< on the flip side sounds like a hybrid of old imagination e-piano samples paired with deep house chords in combination with slightly delayed but ass kickin soul grooves. pretty crazy and unpredctable but hey, systematic is kind of the same, isnt it?

played and supported by chris liebing, luke slater, speedy j, tommy four seven, audio injection, drumcell, dvs1, norman nodge, technasia, shifted, bcr boys, samuel l session and more.
we meet a new project, cool, and damn techno. design concept and sounds that rather than being projected towards europe, appear to come from europe, more precisely from somewhere dark and cold in the north of the continent. but no! the minds that conceived the project are all italian and lie along a line connecting cities like palermo and naples, at least for the moment. because as you might expect from the country s brain drain ... the releases, starting with the first (which will appear in the catalog as 000), will be all vinyl.

zeitlos, a german word meaning timeless is one way to describe chris wood & meats new ep, triple s. this is house of a different flavor, pulling influences from freestyle jazz and funk. we find ourselves late in the night. we enter triple s, a smoky cool atmosphere, relaxed and ready. light percussion leads us into the back, where a lone wandering bass line takes the stage. the simmer of hi hats and trample of toms usher in the kicks. chugging along, a single jazz flute, and sassy women punch through the fog. the strings rise and the bass sinks into the cellar. downplayed with style and elegance, triple s is the perfect track for half past midnight, opening the gates and pouring your body on to the dancefloor.

philip bader, sascha braemer and nicone have been assembled in the studio and there it was: the new dantze. two wonderfully groovy tracks, perfect for the late summer, open airs and freak out moments on the dancefloor. dantze boy is a deep, hypnotic track with crazy cool rolling beats, vocal fragments and a driving synth. dantze girl will inspire the girls. guitars, vocals, love - everything that goes with it. typical bader, braemer, nicone. peace.

next up on tirk we have a brand new act, named free school. hailing from birmingham, shoegaze duo andy and steve bring the sunny balearic sounds of summer and the icy kosmiche sounds of winter all in one sweeping hit. free school are maximalist and minimalist all at once.
the band like to compare themselves to caribou, orbital, hot chip, fourtet, and pet shop boys, all pretty good touchstones in our eyes, however it was the sheer gloriousness of their music that had us hooked.
their debut ep features the uplifting and euphoric >ranting and raving< and the 9 minute sound-movie >lemon<. remixes come from richard norris and his time and space machine project (we are going to have to put this guy on the payroll soon) and russian ice cool customer sportloto. free school also appear live (in sheep masks no less) so watch out for them at a venue near you. their debut album is in the pipeline and already sounding good.

ganz sicher in zukunftsweisender absicht legt der argentinier franco cinelli mit mwaves einen unsagbar lockeren groove vor, der sexy uber die hihat schleift, wahrend der synth in sonniger selbstvergessenheit auf die open air saison zu perlt und diehormone aktiviert. die flipside kommt mit seuil, einem langjahrigen freund und begleiter der harry kleingemeinde, der erst jungst wieder bei den sagenumwobenen recken der circus company demonstrierte, wie das mit house und jazz nochmal zu verstehen war. auch auf freakin 4 definiert seuil coolness als mit dem fus wippende eleganz und begibt sich damit in eine tradition, die auf jean paul&#8208,,,,,belmondo zuruckgehen durfte, zu einer zeit, als lassigkeit noch unlosbar mit einer kippe im mundwinkel zusammengedacht wurde.

how many people would have believed such a thing could work? would diva-like vocal grace and cool, calculated club sound efficiency not react like matter and anti-matter upon contact with one another? yet perhaps this is where the secret of her distant charm lies, the glamorously crafted cool, the vague elusiveness of aérea negrot. last year the venezuelan vocal wonder silenced any doubters with her first single >all i wanna do<, creating a new platform for her boundless range of musical expression alongside her career singing with hercules & love affair. now her second 12 inch is coming out on bpitch - just in time to set the tone for her coming solo album. the berlin sound wizard tobias freund is on hand once more to produce and mix ìright body, wrong timeî. he has commanded the mixing desk for a whole host of artists and labels from minus to warner over the last twenty years or so and made himself a regular fixture in the bpitch sound cosmos with his production work for ellen allien, dance disorder, heartthrob and indeed aérea negrot

new label by third ear records and what a cool first release!!! groovemental is bringing explosive jazz versions of two classic dance tracks! side x: dumb machines version of theo parrish,s falling up is based on the carl craig version of the track rather than the version recorded by theo. one of the biggest house tracks of the 2000s and a recognised classic. dumb machines have introduced words. the word falling is intoned throughout the track and the second stanza from louis macneice,s poem snow is recited. side y: written by tori amos. dumb machine,s version is based on the armand van helden remix. he created an irresistible dance groove, selected a few choice vocal samples, which became part of the clubbers lexicon, to create one of the biggest dance records of the 90s. dumb machines have gone back to tori amos lyric, taken various lines from the lyric and cut and pasted them together. two very inspiring jazz tracks for the house and techno generation, and for everyone else too of course! been on high rotation since we got it in stock!! recommende

cool, dark underground club monsters. being a top player in the music industry is not an easy task! but with 15years in the business and over 150 releases, 50+ remixes & 300+ compilation appearances the numbers of jeffs output speak for them self’s. jeff started creating music in 1994 and got hooked on it directly, but it took until 1998 before his first single was to come out on his own label maskros music. since that single he has released on labels like poker flat, night drive music, episode, treibstoff, kickin music, konvex konkav, plastic city, global underground, regular etc.

remerc is no new face to the scene. he has been active for quite some time in the german techno scene and has recently remixed butchs track >muskatnuss< on the trapez ltd 100 anniversary compilation. he had his breakthrough in 2010 with the track >tiny calf< which ended up on the cocoon compilation >party animals< mixed by marco carola and nick curly. remerc opens his release with >ruhewolf<, a restless funkedelic rocker with a beat that juggles elements in a loose and totally cool way. the track is spiced up with elements of surreal bliss and could go on forever were there not the limitations of the vinyl. on the flipside we find an hanne & lore remix that tightens and fattens up the beat and pimps up the basslines. adding some twisted sounds ... making it a clubber par excellence. >just a bards tale< is a unique remerc track and stands out from all the productions he has done so far. here new wave coloured edgy vocals meet a post-detroit string-chord arrangement. sounds adventurous and daring? well it is to some degree... but recall >no more words< by carl craig from 1991 but executed in a dead modern way.

already in the forth installment, claap continues its streak of quality releases. this time label head gummihz is back with a breazy and grooving maxi titled >head rush<. featuring four new cuts welcoming the summer heat. >head rush< is a captivating piece reminiscent of that 90s ny house sound. it is a nod to the past with a touch of now. breezy and cool, with the sort of drums that will keep the floor pumping. the drums out mix is a more pumped out version of the original, stripped down to the drums and voices. >secret voyage< taps into a more ballearic atmosphere. a captivating arpeggio draws the frame to a very elegant arrangement of organic rhythmical elements. >ruff passage< is a dubbier cut which was created to remind you of previous house producers of the ruff, think everybody be somebody (ruffneck)!! a must have for all occasions to keep the heat on!!
