william anthony bois was born in stockholm, sweden, in 1991. he expressed an early interest in music, especially electronic music. whilst william demonstrated a natural tallent for piano composition from an early age, in 2003 he began channeling his creativity into house music after a friend introduced him to fruity loops. early street dancing lessons introduced him to funk which has been a source of inspiration ever since the age of nine. he continued the dancing with the dance group funky 4 brothers and has performed around europe and sweden. william also studied music production and sound engineering at sixth form college. this background has given him a firm foundation from which to express his music through a variety of rhythms and tone that give his music an individual flavour.
during a stay in munich anthony shake shakir heard a demo version of the song >hammering< and was so thrilled by it, that he decided he wanted to release it on his own label frictional.
striking about the 12-inch is the way it was done. the basement is the track >hammering<, a techno track that uses a sample of a work song from an historical recording dating from the 1930s. the swinging-souly voices are combined with a clear and funky beat that pushes you forward, and you wont forget the voice for a long time, even after the track has been listened to multiple times.after that anthony shake shakir created a remix that afterwards was again remixed by splits & slits.
the followup to time trekker this 2 track 12 inch is set drop just in time for the summer. punks get down is a deep house groover with lush keys and a tribal feel. smooth with some jackin beats. b/w inside 2 a thumpin deep house track with a whispery spoken vocal refrain.
if the doorman fronts like he dont know you... tell him that youre with the dj whether he is friend or foe, the nightmaker or the night-breaker, the mythical nightclub doorman is a universal figure of influence for clubbing fans worldwide. dj nibc, the berlin-based, gothenburg-born dj, producer and trunkfunk records label owner and vocalist anthony mills pay tongue-in-cheek tribute yet also take him to task with their energetic workout >the doorman<. capturing the anticipation, anguish and unpredictability of conversations held on the threshold of clubland, a hapless and faceless figure is ready to rave, and is unleashed via a processed vocal over a tightly-wound acid tech beat. a buzzing twonote bassline and pummelling drums set the stomping
from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. it s loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts. whiskey disco 8, tales from the gulch, showcases the razor sharp cutting skills of anthony mansfield. in addition to his releases on whiskey disco, he s recently showcased music on gomma, om, moodmusic, wurst and of course, his own, hector works. please choose your favorite, the top 4 will be on the vinyl release.

this is the 4th and final release from our shake shakir re-issue series. three total corkers from the don!!! features an exclusive track, the other one.... tip! >the floor filler< is exactly as the title says. this disco frenzied track was originally released in 1997 as part of club scam ii. the track is still a valid club tool and will fill a floor for sure! >plugged in< is also taken from the same ep and reminds of carl craigs paperclip people tracks of that era. disco meets techno! on the flip we find >the other one< which is a track from the vault and has never before been released. detroit house doesnt come any better than this...
nice cat brings to your probably lavish sound system two beautifully strange dance cuts: side a is called >throw water into the lake< , a deep and earthy track sculpted by ricardo villalobos , los updates and anthony collins. on the flip side you can listen to the collaboration of villalobos and los updates. the track >i miss you so much< creates a really celebratory mood. this nice record is a collectable item. thats for sure.

on the back of shakes retrospective frictionalism 1994-2009 compilation, we have asked some producers from the new generation who were influenced by shakes music one way or another to remix his music. since shakes catalogue is such a diverse one, we looked different directions for remixers. the first 12 embodies the whole new beat scene (dubstep, future house, wonky, what do we call it these days). faltydl is on fire lately so we asked him to remix assimilated. the result is an up tempo stepper that both offers a look into the past as well as into the future. banging business. next up is space dimension controller. this uk young buck has been surprising many with his first few releases and remixes over the last year. he transforms the down tempo detroit state of mind into a mid tempo techno-soul affair that will have you grooving all the way through. second part will feature the new techno generation with mixes from mrsk and skudge

aniligital music is back at it with anthony mansfield and tal m. klein and their evil ways! building upon the successes of their previous collaborations, the villainous duo raises the stakes and take things deeper with this enigmatically titled three tracker. ciento ocho is spanish for 108, the tempo of the first track on the ep. a creepy crawly builder with 8-bit roots that culminate in a huge funk breakdown with an insidious bass hook (if you have any doubt,just fast forward 3 minutes into the track) next up is desayuno en timpanis which we think means breakfast at timpanis in spanish. needless to say this ones heavy on the percussive elements, including of course lots and lots of timpani drums. desayuno en timpanis gets going pretty quickly and doesnt let up. check the flanged upright bass breakdown for extra bigness! purely non-stop huge sound system busting dancefloor action. speaking of floor fillers, have we shown you our tiger bomb? bomba de tigre is the definitely the deepest track on the ep, but lest anthony and tal rest on the laurels of their 808 kicks and 303 basslines, this tigre is a stalking beast that explodes in a vicious classic house attack!
