method snapped up these 2 cuts of deep broding, but still energetic, house & kick of 2008 with this ep... enjoy!!

earlier support comes from ewan pearson, funk d void, satoshi tomi, tiger stripes, troy pierce, laurent garnier, danny howells and many more.. the tenth release from aus music is a tasty little bomb from sian to kick off the new year. graham goodwin aka sian is a dublin native raised gypsy style in southern spain. he released two albums and many singles on labels as diverse as pokerflat, dessous, karmarouge, dirtcrew and einmaleins. wear your scars like medals - has a very different vibe to sians first outing on aus, his lush, melodic >apple tree<. >wear your scars< is an all together darker, more brooding affair. with no bass line to speak of and sirens and toms carrying the majority of the melody this can be classed as a truly tribal excursion. roland appel remix - taking the pitch of sians sirens as the melodic starting point roland builds a hypnotic deep techno track that is reminiscent of early planet e releases.

versatile are delighted with this new addition to their catalogue. a release made in belgium by detroit techno prodigy: fabrice lig. as you will notice on this new ep, the first white guys to have signed a record on kevin saundersons legendary label kms, remains faithful to the sound of motor city. a light and esoteric melody sets the tone of >x-slaves who changed the world<. the tight clap and kick drum leave room for the modulating bass. a voice similar to martin luther kings, repeats names of cities in which slavery prevailed, whilst pads stimulate the mental trip. the x slave is taken by the dancefloor, changing the world as he dances to the beat. “funk la termite” is elastic funk. binary rhythms, off-beat chords which keep the groove balanced whilst the hi-hats, like little insects, dig away at the beat, building it and deconstructing it as the sounds evolve. >the round of funky bugs< continues in the vein of creepy crawlies. here, the synths are more upfront, their acidic layering create a mixture of harmonic loops which will set all hells lose. the melodies and use of pads stay anchored in the detroit tradition, but this production fits just as well with all the current electro releases worthy of any good dancefloor

this three track instrumental project features the slick, cutting edge grooves of jive assing, as well as a gorgeous musical painting in the form of manzana de mi vida. showcasing glenn undergrounds signature sound & stylings, jive assing (main mix) is a flawless dancefloor groove, and is essentially a musical journey into the moody mind of cvo. surely to send dancefloor pundits into a frenzy, the dub version boasts a slightly tweaked sonic experience, with thicker percussive layers, a tougher kick and one bad ass bassline as only gu can deliver. the lush manzana de mi vida is a fine lesson in avant garde dance music, featuring some fine work (as usual) on keyboards, creating a melodious & profound atmosphere that will set your soul (and soles) on fire!

second octopus is mr statik with an excellent 3 channels remix, stathis is a greek gentleman of some refinement, his tracks caught our ear on mathias schaffhausers ware imprint as part of the mudmax duo and his talent for combining careful modern production and late night hysteria drew us to him as a future roster artist. then we come to 3 channels,what can we say,they have blown up on crosstown rebels and trapez and their own imprint channel records, their dj sets kick ass all over the place and their remixes, from claude vonstroke to decryptor have proved them as the bright stars of the european house movement. this mix is inspired,relentless, unusually energetic and yet typically 3 channels, aimed straight into the heat and haze of the night
