innerwestsoul is an anonymous, sydney-based crate digger who claims influences as wide as art blakey, tony blackburn, joni mitchell and streetsounds electro, and credits first and foremost where it all began with his dads original 1970s home made motown, soul and disco mixtapes. turntable tweaking and re-editing tracks since 1985, his original productions utilised nothing but a razor blade and a roll of sticky tape to keep the music flowing. fast forward to the 21st century, and he continues to apply the same diy philosophy to his digital productions, creating tracks with real drama, continually diving deep into the infinity of musical history to find those rare nuggets of pure musical gold, then sharing them with the world

3 track ep from g. mitchell. techno soul in the hi-tech funk sound

altair nouveau is among the spaciest of dfaÆs recent signings, a producer clearly as in love with the soundtracks of john carpenter as he is with italo covers of classic rock tunes. >space fortress< saves its best for the final two minutes with a synthesized trumpet lead thatÆll have you either pumping your fist or reaching for the off switch. >showdown<, meanwhile, more adequately gets at mitchellÆs soundtrack love, with its pleasantly percolating backing track giving a chance to various sounds to prove their worth. >sorcerer< embraces the hints of flourish that mitchell dropped in spots elsewhere, and goes full-on with the funk. itÆs tough, well-produced and a little bit funny to listen to in the privacy of your own homeùjust like the 80s soundtrack music that it so readily recalls.

altair nouveau consists of one brandon mitchell, a young producer from the west coast currently residing in san francisco. altair nouveaus music, though designed with the dance floor in mind, still evokes a personal element. it is the combination of these elements that give altair nouveau his indistinguishable larger than life, spaced-out future disco sound sure to cause a dance floor frenzy. raised in the sprawling city of san jose, california to musical parents. mitchell grew up with the encouragement of his father, an electronic music teacher at the local community college. brandon began educating himself by collecting albums from the likes of giorgio moroder, vangelis, ennio morricone and john carpenter. this gave way to newer acts such as in flagranti, prins thomas, lindstrom and several artists on dfa. the title track æspace fortress marks a bold and exciting introduction into the sonic landscape of mr. nouveau, combining g funk, p funk and a 4/4 disco foundation that adds up to something otherworldly altogether. released as a joint effort with the uber-hip dfa records this 12 features mixes exclusive to this release from ultra-talented irishman john daly who turns out a deeper take while michel morins criminally underrated nom-de-plume sneak-thief takes it deeper into spacey disco-funk territory.

fresh from the success of his new album, ninja tuna, mr scruff dips his line back in the sea with the funktabulous get on down. taking a little chunk of 70s soul goodness (a prince phillip mitchell song, sung by johnny adams) and turning it into scruffy sashimi, this is undoubtedly one of the dancefloor stand outs of an album guaranteed to get any crowd bumping. hold on, on the other hand, features the smooooth vox of andreya triana, but nothing can stop scruff from dropping lashings of bass squelch - plus a little extra bangingness on the alternate version hold the dub. altogether uplifting, chest vibrating and all round marvellous, this is brit soul the way it should be done.

nice price deal !!! the dirty freek continues his makeover programme with some of clublands biggest tracks overhauled. this time, perfecto anthem, already having had an indie cover version from the klaxons, now gets properly twisted up for the bassline & niche dancefloors. massive all over again.

zusammen mit anderen vergleichbaren dj mix-serien wie der des londoner fabric-labels und -dj kicks- auf k7!, gehšrt das format der body language-compilations zu den letzten auf dem markt verbliebenen seiner art. junior boys, modeselektor, dixon, matthew dear, azari & iii, catz n dogz, dj hell, jesse rose und viele andere kŸnstler trugen in den letzten neun jahren zum renommŽ der auf get physical erscheinenden erfolgsserie bei. die von dj t. schon in vielen seiner frŸheren werke angewendeten mixtechnischen tugenden stehen auch hier wieder im vordergrund. dj t. gibt sich nicht mit der vergŠnglichen momentaufnahme einer in sich abgeschotteten stilrichtung zufrieden. zeitlos, sich nicht bei formeln aktueller clubmusik anbiedernd und trotzdem voll im hier und jetzt verhaftet, prŠsentiert sich dieser aus 20 tracks bestehende 78-minŸtige mix.
