robert burians new track orion fulfills this dual attraction. it is danceable, but still has chillout mood. bart claessen accelerates the tempo in his remix and adds more bass, this mix could definitely become a club stormer. viper has a little bit slower mood - but keeps your legs dancing still as hard anyway!!

good fun horror themed disco lp from germany. featuring members of the boney m family this rare lp first hit our shores in 1977, and has become synonymous with the horror disco lps from the likes of simonettis goblin. containing 7 tracks ranging from even vampires... and dracula goes dreamy which are slower instrumentals, to the more upbeat terror on the dance floor which features bizarre crowd noises and sleazy overtones. the major track on the record, soul dracula has every cliché one would expect from a dracula track: maniacal laughing drrrracu la, catchy background gimmicks that drill themselves into your head and sleazy overtones. this track recently found its way onto quiet villages fragments of fear mix cd!

raver is an epically proportioned electro-edged progressive house track that is full of heads-down drive and bags of excited tension. a massive buzzing bassline shifts through euphoric chord changes to create the dub treads a more linear route, preferring a slower burn to to the more full on vibes of the original version. pig & dan have been drafted in to provide the remix and have delivered a storming tech-house banger

after being charted throughout the past few months with his label s previous release >slower lov<, cesare vs disorder continues to deliver the goods on his >mean< imprint with a divine release from long-term friend and musician ollie silva aka canary fontaine. here we are again with some obscure yet funky, driving and danceable material, the recognisable trademark sound that mean has been carving for the past two years. there s a certain latin vibe throughout the whole ep that shows ollie s chilean background, especially when he adds his live musical skills with congas, toms, guitars, basses, voices, anything he can get his hands on! the productions on this release are delicate and refined, with >clothes horses< being a deep rhythmic and harmonious jazz adventure, while >arizona creeping< and >cindy says so (feat. eddie smith aka zippy)< result in some very solid minimalist bouncy techno, two powerful alternatives that simply roll many danceable and percussive elements into one package, perfect for dark rooms during journey times. cesare vs disorders noctambular version of >cindy says so< will be on the vinyl release to add some spice to the dancefloor in his usual psichadelic rockin way.

olmeto’s first release of 2009 takes the flamenco bull by the horns and drops a track of such spanish influence, you’ll think you’re at las ventas! señor bushwackas ‘dromederie’ neatly entangles beautifully mournful spanish guitars, passionate feet stomping flamenco dancers with modern glitches to create a seriously ferocious tune with an underlying feeling of treachery. the percussive elements embroiled in the final three minutes (specially edited as a dj tool for the creative amongst you) are so unique, the reaction evoked on any primed and ready dancefloor has to be seen to be believed…it’s a tune you’re not going to forget in a hurry! side two, ‘the blues’ takes an altogether slower, more winding approach but is sure to draw you in from the off. whilst we are reminded ‘this is the blues’, rising melodies and catchy loops reminiscent of grooving disco transport you to a sleazy den of dance iniquity. marking the twentieth release on layo & bushwacka’s olmeto imprint, ‘dromederie’ & ‘the blues’ are a stunning representation of the forward thinking dance music this label has to offer. not to be ignored.

this hot new e.p. for dessous introduces two new artists to its roster, in the form of well known and highly respected producer & dj ripperton, who runs the successful perspectiv label, alongside co-owner and recording artist sam k. this mixed and exciting release is headed off by the deeply spaced and simply hypnotic ‚eze‘, a straight collaboration between ripperton and sam k. its bouncing, deep techno pump underpins the track and keeps the pressure constant, while a wonderful phasing synth motif is explored and unfurled as the journey continues. beautiful atmospheric modern dance music! next sam k takes the reigns alone as he introduces the slower, fantastic world of ‚desperate housetrack‘. the title might be a clue to where the melody takes its inspiration, but this tough little groover has more than one surprise up its sleeve, showing off sam‘s love for slow burning, thoroughly explored arrangements. ‚slipstream‘ is ripperton‘s own unique solo voyage through contemporary acid house. its a stripped, low-riding jam that harks back messages from days of old but still had that fresh 21st century sound going on. a great dj tool and indeed a bold statement about the merits of keeping it deep!

played already by the usual famous suspects from adam beyer to chris liebing, felix kröcher, oliver huntemann or technasia who always grab out the tracks from alex the method tracks will again work on the floor for sure. alex trademark, his fat basslines, combined with clear and precise drumming gain the next level of colorful techno-entertainment these days. full method jacket is the one for the peaktime with atmo-changing breaks as triple chain method will delight all the fans of slower, groovy minimal techno

lcd soundsystem returns with a song written for the soundtrack to the sony pictures film 21. james murphy’s concept of what a big rock song made for a movie could sound like more than a balls-out big rock song, the track delivers in unexpected ways, from the edgy opening two minutes that alone could serve as the score to a car chase, to the sudden explosion of choirs, blissful harmonies, and larger-than-life chorus. babytalk, who has created quite a buzz with two top-notch releases and is currently the toast of underground dance music and disco heads, remixes the track into something seemingly slower and definitely more sinister

truffle music (toronto) returns with the voices (plant music) releasing their first e.p. isince 2005 and following up on the initial success of their sure thing/street commander eps on nycs plant music. cavern is a disco punk stomper that builds from the start with sizzling 4/4 live drums, bass, keys and a hypnotic subdued vocal that build to an apex only to break down and come back harder on the instrumental tip. spooky is a tripped out instrumental that is slower in tempo and heavy on the pychedelic. featuring all live instrumentation, this track takes you on a twisted journey. l.a.s woolfy (rong, permanent vacation) takes on the remix with his epic woolfy neu rave disco mix and he delivers just that with a speed up stormer that is over twice as long as the original and has a faint scent of old warehouse days but takes it forward with an interesting arrangement and eclectic instrumentation.

one ep to make the south americans shake their booties... >rabouine house< lays heavy on the percussion, the bass, a hispanic guitar interlude and supports italian/turkish chanting vocals throughout. pure rhythm and groove. mikael stavostrand’s mix takes it slower and darker, working dubbed out percussion, >in and out< vocal clips and a slightly horizontal effect

dj support - adam beyer, loco dice. marko nastic, marco bailey plus all the usual suspects not long after his discovery of techno, it was the harder, more precussive tastes of the swedish sound that initially inspired indiana based kyle geiger as a dj for years before the genres overall sound took a slower and softer turn. still loving the energy and power of the earlier phases of techno, while being greatly influenced by long time friends and minimal techno veterans such as jpls and skoozbot

deeply rooted drops one of their dopest eps yet!! and yes, this is a real crowdpleaser. the right music at the right moment.crowdpleaser and ly sander deliver a dope deep minimal and still very funky house track with jupiter, when manoo goes really deep withjoparish on a slower abstract house groove, wipe the needles work it is a pure house energetic groover! enthusiastic support from quentin harris, dj gregory, alix alvarez, kerri chandler, neil aline, dixon, dennis ferrer, frankie feliciano, markus enochson.

a perfect ny disco affair from the elitechnique guys. nice late 70s percussion driven disco track played with real instruments. comes with a re-mix / edit of major swellings (aka prins thomas) who turned the track into a more club orientated affair with a slower pace and some added percussion to make it fit every summer party

archipel brings in two of its friends from uk, newcomer sozadams and moes ferry superstar croatian luka & lazo, for its fifth vinyl outing >tahiti excursion vol. 2< on which soz takes the a side and luka & lazo take the b side both bringing the dirty warehouse funk. soz starts things off with >broken thought< which is a thumping, sweaty late night floor mover which is sure to bend limbs in ways never witnessed before. >liars chair< is a slightly slower pusher which twists and melts along through corroded vocal snippets and dark polyrhythmic moments. luka & lazo take the same attitude of dark funk from sozs a side journey and shred it into a million pieces. >the safe< is a warmer tinged funk but still keeps things moving and grooving while >mood mode< jacks along and rips up a world of digital fabric. archipel keeps up the quality with ease and this is yet another piece of aural evidence to prove it

tayos distinctive dub breaks style has forged its way forwards onto a worldwide platform with impressive dj sets and radio shows on kiss and bbc radio one. his fusion of other genres into breakbeat can clearly be heard on his fabric live 32 mix cd, which is an absolute corker! this time around he is not alone and teams up with the dynamic duo ctrl z. they also have an impressive repertoire with releases and remixes under their belts on respected labels such as 777, hardcore beats and rat records. its no surprise then that we have a heavy dub influenced groover everytime, which makes a perfect summer time party tune. on the flip lovers rock teases it way from a slower reggae groove to a full force bassline that will tear any dancefloor apart.

one sided release by one of the hottest names in techno at this moment. slower pace and slower beats with a nice old school-ish house feel. the real hook line is a slow raving sample that goes on and on

rising star fabrizio mammarella s new slammin tracks for the regenerated bear funk gold are a fine return for the man from pescara, italy. his last work for stevie kotey s bear funk was his amazing remix of piston fiston which appeared alongside the optimus remix. he also made it onto ivan smagghe s fabric compilation with the 2005 bear funk release >tear up<. things are really looking up for this quietly spoken studio don. releases on bear funk, hairy claw, tiny sticks and brontosaurus recs have all turned heads in dj booths and on dancefloors and this release is no exception. low-slung echoed guitars, tight live drums and psyched effects are the order of the day. funk with a smiling face. check the flipside for a piece of another guitar-led number. much slower and blessed out but no less funked-out!

three tracks on this single there is the slope remix of daniel maggs o bah, which with its delay loops offers something for the deeper moments on the dancefloor. apart from that theres two remixes of tracks taken from the last slope album komputa groove. while house grooves ruled on the first 12 to be taken from the slope is dope compilation, this new single is more about broken beats. charles websters remix of nothing like this feeling embeds ovasoul 7s vocals in a playfully distorted, grainy synthesizer arrangement which is driven on by a nervous snare. the want choo longa edit by bugz in the attic members daz i kue and afronaught goes even further beats with an afro touch and a typical bugz bassline makes for an absolutely compelling recipe

entered buzz charts this week, huge hit expected for this end of a year. after making a name for himself as the hottest young producer on the block (bloc party, maximo park, the rapture to name a few) paul epworth finally releases his own much anticipated solo material as phones. for those familiar with his floor slaying remixes under this alias for artists as varied as new order, goldfrapp, roxy music and black strobe, sharpen the knives and worryin hit the dancefloor hard. sharpen the knives is an agitated, visceral monster that climbs to a breakdown, leaving you begging for mercy, but with a huge grin on your face. >worryin< is a slower affair, still dark and digital and ever so slightly menacing. both tracks are a taste of great things to come from this prolific talent, leading into an album some time in 2007

moscow s roman pushkin (chicaria, erase)unleashes some pure dancefloor mayhem with an electro feel and a peak time aggr essive twist. john spring (crosstown rebels, substatic)takes his b-side remix to a deeper more german sounding take slower, moodier and dirty

the third release from nachtfrequent brings us four new fresh tracks from leo cubanero. two of them – play and english mafia – were layed down in co-operation with patrick di stefano(generalelektrik). the first tune is a very clubby track sporting some eccentric dodgy sounds. minimal oppressive but easily triggerin your dancing feet at the same time. the following play plays slower but has however a very funky touch with mad pitched vocals and the jostling basslines. rigth here and anywhere else this track is a burner. funky fat sounds and vocals which seem to come out directly of the lunatic asylum. and finally english mafia which weaves in the garb of minimal house a very nice carpet with memorable elektroid sounds. fine pads - not one gram too much

produced by alexi delano & jesper dahlbäck !! outstanding cool groover, garnished with delightful acid bleeps. the flipside holds two more tracks, getting closer and save me, a few beats slower but not less hypnotizing.

we were waiting for this for a long time. finaly, the first it s a fine line album (ivan smagghe & tim paris project) will be released end of august 2016 on kill the dj records.
