after the quite dark winter-release shotgun 01 could be found in various playlists in germany (f.e. dj karotte) and outside and is almost sold out now, here is the second shot, which is - according to the season - more housey and funky. >its going down< works with classic house-vocals and a killer-groove, whereas >young in paradise< is a track full of tension, using a quite funky guitar-sample. this >young in paradise< has just been used by dj linus for his new mix-compilation on exun records.

forteba was born and raised in hungary where he chooses the occupation of an electronic music producer at the age of eighteen. his early compositions were settled near breakbeat and chill-out area but he soon found his passion in straight rhythms and arrangements inspired by german deep-house stuff. he likes to embed various elements of dub and ambient into straight clear rhythms, so his borders of style are hard to define. he produced some successful singles in his home country as >the garage< together with gábor pasztoriális and got released at hungary-based underground labels……

tjr continues to fold his own unique style of house, acid and techno. fresh, funky and exciting best describe his newest productions. archipels pheeklends his hands+ears on the remix. puckmouth is the main cut found. chicago influenced rhythms blend with analog bass as jack beats flow. synth effects float with the snare attack. tweaked. slowly pushes hands into the air. funky ho medina sounds like classic dance mania on modern pills. snappy percussion builds with quick edits. detuning madness arrives via keyboard runs.pheek (archipel/leftroom) reworks puckmouth with an energy boost. a slowly growing dimension of sound that is constantly trying to climb higher. this remix is a deadly, twisting your brain and eardrums

only unreleased new tracks from dj deeon and slugo....though he s revered among chicago djs and around the world as the original master of ghetto dance music, deeon started small, on chicagos south side. he sold his dj mixtapes in the parking lot where he lived, and played house parties in the projects. these crowded living room parties started the feeling and inspiration for the sound deeon produced, music he simply refers to as, >for the strippers, for the street<. while tracks like >accelerate< on dance mania were doing well overseas, he was getting little support or play from local chicago clubs. deeon calls ghetto house the >stepchild of chicago house<. eventually the incredible response from his music forced the clubs to concede and play his records. these >techno with a ghetto edge< tracks have found way to the decks in clubs around the world. deeon found his home on chicagos own dance mania label, where he released hits like >let me bang<, >who you wit<, >da dick suck< and >the freaks<. deeon is currently signed to databass records, which is rereleasing most of his back catalog with new remixes!

the legendary paul simpson and keith thompson come together to experiment on projects just prime for peak time club action. having wanted to work with each other for years they finally found the time with, black skin blue eyed boys, a remake of the 1960s uk anti war classic by the equals. with a classy mix by super legend tom moulton, a pumping mix by dj romain, and an evolving, tribal affair from dj smash, its a production already making serious noise as a promo

detroit s new >soundshift< imprint makes a stunning debut with this intoxicating two-tracker. opening up is the soultek remix of billy dalessandro s smashing >don t sleep< release (which was found in the many sets of dan bell, ame, annie mac & pete tong last month) this mix is nothing short of brilliant and will certainly capture the hearts and sets of all those mathew jonson or loco dice fans out there. it has a subtlety that really creeps up on you and before you know it you re tapping your feet and zoning out listening to the intricacies of the music. truly minimal, there are loads of space within the track which is somewhat similar to the original but still a world apart, particularly in the fantastically eerie synth programming. in the forefront of the song is the shimmering and haunting vocal loop, >don t sleep< which has an almost hypnotic effect. (think richie hawtin in closer) the melody of the title is a delicate affair which sips cocktails in the company of some nicely chosen whirring and echoing noises. the build is effected so subtly it verges on melancholy but halfway through a rumbling bassline, appregiated melody and backbeat hi-hat pattern announce a funkier escalation!!

bastian heerhorst and patrick meissner from hamburg, first met each other in the end of the 90s by their common love for graffiti. inspired by the hamburg night live, they decided very soon to work creatively together, also for their music productions. because of bastians long time experience in electronic music and the revolutionary development of the virtual instruments, the two guys were fast able to obtain quite dancable results, also with a small budget. begun with the rather modest possibilities of a 4-tracker on the amiga and the first live-acts with a groovebox, bastians liking to produce and to experiment with all possible styles grew. since also patrick came in contact with electronic music in hamburg s scene already early, it was somehow predetermined that in the future not only walls, but also dancefloors gonna be rocked. the project >heerhorst & meissner< was born and with kompass musik a label was found, which was courageous enough to publish the first tracks of duo…

released in 2001 includes remixes by danny tenaglia, mantronik, sunships selectas and 4hero

enjoy these 4 tracker of jori at his best. great dancefloor electronics from finland.

this dry, cold-processed stomper from jack rock shoots like a rocket out of nowhere. with a bass drum that reminds of stakes installed in the swampland and a mysterious melody, he once again presents himself as the connoisseur of delicate club dramaturgy and jack really knows how to conquer the hearts of both, the dj and the crowd.his stumbling funk finds its equivalence in dandy jack s staccato rush whose congenial remix shows a higher concentration, but is still full of catchiness and deepness driven by a real conviction. this must-have ep offers a really wonderful ground contact and represents the continuation of a unique label policy: young, but characterised by deep wisdom, knowledge that can only be found in the dark labyrinths of the club where we love to get lost over and over again...played by john acquaviva, dinky, toni rios

lophi is the combination of loth de luca & philip flindt, they met eachother at a n.y.e party in 2001. they quickly found out that they shared the same passion for dirty electronic music. the sound that makes up the rather unique lophi sound, is a mixture of de lucas long lasting love affair with the darker and more minimal beat. combined with flindts flair for dancefriendly music and his craving for the melodic themes, you are left with pure audio eargasms

phreaky minimal bassy monster! growing up in a small town in southern germany, joachim landesvatter s main musical influences came via his older brothers in the form of bands like zz top, lynyrd skynyrd and uriah heep. these narrow boundaries could not contain his ever-evolving tastes, however. he soon found himself enthralled by german acts bap, die rodgau monotones and the scorpions, to name a few. the real turning point came in 1991 when he discovered the techno music being played by local djs in the small, rural clubs in and around his hometown. using techno as a springboard, he jumped ever-deeper into the quickly evolving experimental electronic scene and all of its various permutations

cool double 12 special edition including 18 of their biggest singles and a great photo and lyrics booklet this is a must have

steve rachmad, has taken the global techno scene by storm both as a producer and as a much sought after remixer. his dj exploits is second to none. for many, he is considered a father of detroit techno in the netherlands, respected in the world of electronic music for his deep, groovy sounds that tend to rest on impressive strings, melodies, funk and soul.his first single from his forthcoming album >neo-classica< on sino exemplifies the efficient combination of sonic subtleties and frenetic nuances found in his productions. energy abound with an unwavering level of production quality, this single is yet to be another modern day dancefloor classic

support by chloe & jennifer cardini !! actually, a tragic fact that the two label owners of sub static never enriched the own catalogue with a cooperation, but then again, there was no time, passion, and maybe also the right tracks hadn t come yet. now we found them, the ideal components, and thus this split- ep succeeds to involve both sides of the same medallion in an extremely animated conversation, which also the party benefits from. a real brocksieper starts off the record, with that slinky, permanent groove which everyone likes to ride on, as it s making you look well on the floors which signify the world. then the flipside laxly continues where just hopped, speak: a little bell rings, the beats pose, the shiny side always in the floodlight. however, the mood changes - functionality mutates to emotiveness, the music floats differently. this can only be m.i.a., who still disassembles sounds with never known precision, gets ideas in order, simply generates funk. so the tone is given for the next techno season, thanks for that

house music heavy hitters kerri chandler and monique bingham team up to create a gorgeously deep and sexy as all hell stunner. already no1 promo on traxsource.com, the worlds leading soulful house music download site, this soon to be classic has already been tested in the uk, france & japan with incredible response. the song starts out with a dj friendly deep 4/4 beat then gently caresses the listener with a profound bassline, climaxing into clever call and response between mr.chandlers spoken words ala barry white and the sensuous ms. bingham. if you havent found love on the dance floor just wait til this drops and go on the prowl. this is one sexy muthfunkin number

australian producer deepchild drops the second single >no disgrace< from his new album >lifetime<, a dub heavy slab of techno soul featuring the vocals of barbados-born mc ras roni with the usual intricate programming found in all deepchild productions. on the a-side jimpster under his audiomontage guise delivers a remix he concedes to be >fucking slamming, maybe one of my best yet< combining a stripped back techno structure with chunky rolling bass and heavy soul in a devastating dancefloor weapon. deepchild s original is equally at home at london s co-op or vienna s dub club as it is rocking the floors in aus while always and forever shows more of the flavour from the album with a dose of his trademark rich melodic deepness

on his bpitch debut ep larsson pumps the finest minimal funk into the happily upswelled label veins. three tracks that found the necessary balance between trippy abstraction and bold bouncy funkyness without forgetting the comforting effect of warming facets and hypnotic melodies.

woody transformes it into a classical minimal-tech hymn.the ultra dry start out of the 3 channels mix first lose its way and then found itself back again into a net of confused and languorous deepness..in retrospect to the 90s, elef tsiroudis is a producer of modern dance music. without any crabwise the direct acces is always the dancefloor. warm tranceparts and the reminiscence of an entire party decade, team up to let this remix be an absolutely killertrack..

the dutch techno label found it was time to revive one of his biggest smashers called >birds on e< the title gives us quite a good idea of what this stuff is all about… this time there are two brandnu remixers in this new djax-pack including the original version! please give these men a warm welcome: sandy warez & the edge of motion crew fire away two mind-blowing nukes and show that the heart of acid music still has a pulse… and it s getting stronger

after the phenomenal success of the first tjark single, which was found in almost every case of the leading dj league, tjark is back with a strong follow up. the single is called >traum< and remixing duties went to no one else than tobias lützenkirchen. the result: extra ordinary phat electro house which only tobias lützenkirchen is able to deliver. a sure stomper! on the flipside really fresh tjark sound with lots of soul and inspiring depth, to good to be true. groovy clubsound with a direct crosslink to heiko laux s kanzleramt lable and dj hell s international deejay gigolo records..

the title track is a sharp, dance floor effective electro track, on the funky bassline, with a mysterious vocal line on top. raining night driving , the second track goes more along the musical lines of model 500 and drexciya. more again into concepts, as the first release on this label, can be found on side b: audition me - is the theme, which is explored in two parts, bot with a more rough industrial sound, but both still close to the sharp sounds of dynarec
