back in 1993 munichs into somethin crew started a clubnight entitled maiden voyage. the idea behind it was simple while the successful weekly into somethin sessions set up by michael reinboth, florian keller and theo thoennessen in 1989 kept on providing a take on the current state of dancemusic from a jazz djs point of view the guys wanted to etablish another night dedicated strictly to the classics. jazz, soul, brasil, boogie and disco have been on the musical menu at maiden voyage ever since. michael reinboth and florian keller still love to play a set at maiden voyage every now and then but both guys left the ships bridge to concentrate on their variety of other projects in the late 90s. theo and rainer were joined by roland appel of fauna flash, trüby trio and voom:voom fame instead to form the infamous threepiece that kept on keeping on ever since

nice and chunky, keep up doing what you do so wellintroducing deadset: an act that crafts house music in some of its many disguises. the two man team used to do a lot of that, and a little bit of this. before deadset1 and deadset2 came into being, they played in the sandpit with the likes of muse, miss kittin, royksopp, tiefschwarz, justin timberlake, scissor sisters and with labels such as fine, blue fin, souvenir, made to play, wall of sound and tsuba. now they do a lot of this and only a little bit of that. disregarding this, that and the other, their tipping point has arrived… they have also been allowed to play around at the likes of weekend (berlin), panoramabar (berlin), fabric (london), the end (london) and countless other joints. lovingly nurtured, their forthcoming album, keys open doors, is about to be released into the wild from the arms of jesse rose and his front room label. music for now, with an eye on tomorrow, made with sounds of then. deadset 1 is tom mangan. deadset 2 is cass. cass + mangan is dead. long live deadset

next excellent proggy release on oeften grueven mparadis taking you on an atmospheric trip flip over for the nick hogendoorn & eelke kleijn remix were things are stripped down to the point with a nice electro flavour

killer release !!! minz is simply introducing himself by a few words… influenced by techno, house, acid & dub, minz creates deep electronic dance music with attention to detail. on the a-side, minz gifted us with the unbelievable chinese drip. a pure mix of modern minimal music and the too long left asleep « deep » side of things. this track is indeed a delightful journey trough the minz world. groovy, sexy, deep and incredibly dance appealing. oceanic oscillations starting from below the sea level and reaching the sky to dive again! clap your hands, shake your booty ! get the crowd on their knees with the tool of 2007 ! the b-side host an even deeper cut, >we are the new me< sports a basic channel inspired groovy beat, sparkling spacey sound designs and that ultra deep bassline that just get you on the floor. minz is clever enough not to follow its predecessors and develop again a very personal groovy and delightful track. finally, >none.of the mill< is a wonderful piece of the minz ambient world enlightening us with a different point of view, a different perspectiv..

here comes the first split-12inch on phil e records, shared by jackmate and the dutch newcomer pitto. pitto is already famous in holland for his energetic livesets and his >moodengineering<-parties….this is his vinyl-debut! his track >aphex< is a timeless piece of techno with charming piano-licks and a decent build-up-arrangement, perfect at dawn! jackmate comes up with >nomads< , a 303 driven journey into the heart of his machine. this is a livetrack, raw and on point

support by oliver koletzki, inaqui marin, angel molina… marc marzenit is without a doubt one of the covered ones of the electronic scene of dance for this 2007. spheere is track 100% marzenit, great melodies and arpeggios, explosive hit, crescendo continuous and hipnótic to the maximum. today is yesterday - claustrophobia-rmx is governed more by similar patterns but less serious than spheere, and with a definitive attack to the jugular one in its culminating point. today is yesterday - original rmx- adopts melancholic forms with a minimalistic suit in the less contemptuous tone of the word. this does not sound like a regular record? then in the cover and the label it puts it well clear r-e-g-u-l-a-r

rhythmetic is back with the 7th shot, this time a compilation round wich features 4 damn great tracks, tom clark with jens bond produced the opener, straight to da point tech-house tune, dark and crispy sound effects, pretty cool & clever staged samples and a keen sense of dancable basskicks and drum works…..the next one is aldo cadiz and he is presenting a grandiose peak time anthem….beamy basskicks and cool analogue lines will push the crowd to the max…actual horsepower. the first one on the flip is a tune by jobim’s cousin aka argy …oriantal styled and smooth song, recommend for early morning hours.last shot produced by diffuse……mystic and dark hypnotic - rounder, alarming sound scapes meet old-ravey sound structures…altogether and pretty good new release with four different tracks

excellent deep harmonic electro & electronica tracks !!!

extremst limitierter ambient der kruderen sorte. mit handgewebten klangteppichen

the >theken ep< was established at the >bar 23<, a legendary meeting point for berlin musicians. the >laan unlimited< projekt was built up exclusively for this new eintakt ep. andreas krüger from >der dritte raum< and lars fenin (we know from shitkatapult) shows us a mix of spacy atmosphäres and funky to jazzy basslines. >just the two of us<, a dark version of berlins minimalistic sound architecture, a mix from the funny projekt of this three berlin musicians, philip bader, pilocka krach & sam nn. neal white & meto s >bobsie< is an absolutely meantime clubtrack, minimal and massive. >kleine steine< is the more chilling and housy part of this eintakt compilation, perfect for the morning hours, flowing , melodic, old shool. created by argon and plastique

a1 time (original mix) produced by !nfrajazz guitar & bass : freddy fernandez, trumpet : yohan speissegger a2 time (basek s east side remix) b1 el farouki remix b2 tom pooks remix. top notched production here with detroit/soul & berlin electro influences together with the infrajazz personal sounding. making of this a nice package & another classy release for the chocoflash label.

from dallas eric estornel has arrived, who is not other that maetrik or mariel-ito. take hold yourself that they come curved the constant mutations and growth in its sound since it dazzled us to all with >casi profundo< album or with singles as >agravatte me< has taken to him to a maximum point of maturity in its arrival in regular. sexus is track amazing, technoide, intense, without fissures, forceful and direct. acces ebm takes a darker way if it fits, with a big bass which walks and it makes you walk to his side, you are not scared, does not bite! nexus could perfectly be single of the disc.

played by james mowbray, jeff samuel, john tejada!! news from the anti claves-biter fraction: sub static-label boss falko brocksieper follows suit and warms up for the next album-quantum-leap, however, as a finger exercise first, there is this small, fine ep with three elegantly knitted smashers for the dj from world. as usual this man simply shakes the funk out of the sleeves, so he can afford to pass big music already for the aperitif, which is always best for the meal, right? >esque< builds up the break culture quite high, without falling however, as the pleasantly massaging bass foundation stands firmly against wind and tide. this is the club counterpart to the lightning rod, bundling the crowd s attention perfectly and focusing it to one point, between a glass of vodka (located at the dj-booth) and the horizon (in the head, man, in the head!)

for fans of loco dice, mathew jonson, m_nus, ame, matthew dear, dimbiman, dan bell !!features 3 new unreleased songs from billy dalessandro (force-inc, force tracks, resopal, kompakt) brian ffar (gourmet, tic tac toe) & slutbox…. hot stuff! billy dalessandro known for his bumpy dancefloor productions and driving dj sets, he returns on his newly formed site holder label to lead us through a symphonic slice of minimized and maximized techno. an untouchable hit for the few djs that possess it, all three songs on the ep are tracks that deliver. with intoxicating slow-build introductions which all seem to rise to the perfect point, breaking over with deep sine shaped basslines and beats that kicks the night into the afternoon. the slutbox tune pops and pulses along a more minimal excursion with deep tones, deep bass and melodic key stabs which seem to lock together as the rhythm evolves, propelling a sketch of minimal movement to another, out-there dimension. yes, do believe the hype and look out for site holder

stuck in time is a personal statement on a particular time and of particular experiences in my life. the sounds codebase choses to use on this album point towards an alternate universe of where music may have gone instead of where it is now, fusing analog disco bass and electric piano sounds reminiscent of the 1970s with sampled electronic percussion sounds of today. this juxtaposition crystallizes the temporally frozen sonic landscape of the album a musical fossil from somewhere outside the linear progression of time

funky energetic orlando breaks style

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

fuckin good chicago ghetto tech !! dj assault style

played: steve bug, djulz, a. schneider, jay haze, dan curtin – huge hit ! moon harbour has good news for you: a new artist joining our family – welcome samim! after big success with his projects >samim & michal< and >fuckpony< (together with jay haze) he debuts on moon harbour with his 3-track-ep. the bass line of -eco- (b1) paces through deep frequencies as samim throws in sharpedged snares, wistful dub-synths and an elusive vocalsample: this track is so catchy that it deserves the rare honour of a long b-side – its strong vibe just would have swallowed up any other tune accompanying it. skks (a1) will get you from a different point of view: forget about dub and minimalism, this one is a rhythmical display of fireworks. samim goes in for the full, tictac go the claps and vocal-samples jeer and jiggle everywhere. this track got guts, man!..

following up the massive debut of lets pet puppies, marcus mixx returns with a two tracker of straight up classic chicago dancefloor mayhem. t.a.p. is nasty. you thought you were nasty? sorry charlie, nasty s over here. marcus drops the vocal on this track thats either a precursor or the end point for ghetto tech, and most likely simply in a class by itself. psychousic is somewhere in between classic robert armani / armando, and the best of the early relief stuff. can you say beat track? if your floor doesnt jack to this, you need a new one.

scanning for virus starts with an hard and uplifting drumwork, analogue lines and a dominate bassline bring the track to the highest level within the first seconds….at the push of a button!scanning for virus is pure funk, pure house to describe it just in two word and for sure absolutly peak time guaranteed…and you think that s all there is? keep you temper….on the flip you will find another remix by no one else than super-mastermind and producer of the year claude van stroke, more reduced, more minimal but also to the point.no question, this release seems to be the best on made to play so far,stunning!

>the rhytm composer< is a well worked track with a lot of surprieces. old school electro sounds blended with analogue elements. >hooked on a g-string< has been played live a lot during the last few weeks, and has always been the park point of mikaels live sets. a great shuffley track with a strong moog loop that change its caracter throughout the song...

iiwii launches its long awaited new limited edition 10 series called the >gallery series<. this series will focus more on downbeat, leftfield and house genres. first up is a four tracker from dante and dhula, two members from iiwii recording group cobblestone jazz. the first track from this release, a modern electronic dub excursion, >why do the wicked ones rule?< has already found its way into the charts of straight no chaser courtesy of gilles peterson, and gotten play on his worldwide radio show on bbc !!

brilliant 2 track ep from straight minimal kickin techno (point final) to dubby deep tech (hand in hand)

a-side rising pharaoh. b-side rising pharaoh dub, rising pharaoh (bon johnson mix) a-side tech funky mover with killer bass, built around a bluesy vocal and guitar plus a faint but effective flute. b-side features a pumped up stripped down tech house leaning dub, simple and to the point with quite an infectious drive and cowbell thing that ought to get them on their feet. last mix is a full on funked up version courtesy of bon johnson

if there is one overall trend to spot in the wide fields of electronic music over the last years, it is the reversion to emotion. in a time where tracks are becoming more and more anonymous tools, melodies, references to pop music and recognition are seen as a design element and not as a blemish. to be honest, this recurrence was desperately needed, because music was always at best when feelings and not the mathematic of clicks were at the centre of attention. soda inc. reached this point of intersection already with their debut album >full moon< one and a half years ago. with intense anthems such as flight su 118 babak shayan and jon silva have created the deepest and most pictorial vision dub related techhouse had to offer to our hearts and souls. a solid basis to build up for the early summer of 2006....

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.

with >monuments<, the label manager pär grindvik returns with a perfctionist statement. after a period of heavy touring, he has isolated in his studio to concentrate on finding a missing link - something that would spark his curiosity, something that could make him feel complete.with monuments, he resurrects memories of the past sounds and rhythms and place them in our near future. from the dynamic dokument< floating point, to the melting pot of >mnemonic<. he feeds us snares and shuffle we haven t heard for ages

the creation of his own label screen recordings represents the professional maturity, and his forthcoming album >technologies in house< is a logical goal, that brings to a definition point in stefano s career. a defined point to reflect, to renew himself and to go on

the debauched team second release gets more offensive. there is a point in the night where the music has to gear up, this is when debauched releases hit the floor. the original mix on the a side is a relentless mixture of dirty electro and stompy house. all very percussive and penetrating in pure debauched style. the b side is an instrumental with a quirkier acid line by 13 kabuki queens (aka cedric)

the ultimate ibiza sampler the perfect dj record for this summer including two excellent club tracks by sonic divas and fresh 27 a must have
