chicago house style take on famous jazz dance classic

>minimal is cool but in the long term a bit too unsexy!< this statement of marcel knopf that is by now quite old, shows his heart does not beat for one genre after all. after the first and more technoid single release from his album >dusty dance< monsieur knopf satisfies his longing for real house with single no.2 >crazy about<. r&b singer camaras soulful voice leaves quite an impression on this powerful beat. in >skinny bitches< marcel knopf processes insane nights: you just want to drink a beer in your favourite pub but then you meet a couple of friends and they take you to the worst disco in town. this high-energy track is uncompromising and must be played during peak time and not during warm-up sets or after-hours.

like his dj status, as a producer, jesse rose is a guarantee. world-renowned for the sound he created with long term mentor and dubsided label boss dave switch taylor, jesse is now the guy you turn to when you want a dancefloor remix, lending his services to the likes of hot chip, simian mobile disco, underworld to name but a few. after the phenomenal success of jesse’s mighty debut album, >what do you do if you dont< comes the third single from the album – >well now<. if you havent already heard the hooky >well now< in the clubs or on the airwaves, where have you been? the original mix is exactly what you would expect of jesse with its cheeky vocal and typical comedy factor make this mix so catchy its hard not to recognise it after the first play. flipping over savage skulls add their remix treatment to the track. these talented swedish boys who already have a dubsided original release under their belt and a killer recent remix for major lazer, give >well now< their bass and bumps whilst putting a kaleidoscope of funk back into electro.

in form and informed moves from the heavy artillery imprint. fresh off the back of a storming garage match up with el b for the soul motive crew, labelhead rossi b and long term cohort luca smack it around some more with some utterly deranged bassline power manoeuvres, completely stripping off any lactic sounds sometimes associated with that scene, all leaving a pristine and utterly rampant rhythm mastery on show. i.d drops a sensual garage mover which delivers equal parts ruffage and sensuality with just the right amount of piquancy for club play, really delicious stuff . 501 runs the dances ragged with a banging rave-ready and heavily synth inflected side long cut for all the half-step massive dem rounding out a confident, varied dances ragged with a banging rave ready and heavily synth inflected side long cut for all the half-step massive dem rounding out a confident, varied and complete package from this fine bristol label.

>realtime art< - that s how blackisbeautiful call their electronic music art. an analogue idea within the digital age. inspired by the aesthetics of analogue music devices, the first album of the dortmund-based producer team will be released in september via the upcoming cologne-based techno label 200. blackisbeautiful partnered up at the vrstck club in dortmund two years ago. they bonded through their deep connection to analogue art. residency atvrstck and a musical and friendly collaboration were to follow. both look back at long-term musicianship and life experience. while tim dicke paved his way into the electronic scene through being a drummer, bassist and soloartist in punk and hardcore bands and later on as dj, Ümit han quickly moved from djing to producing his own tracks. in 2006, Ümit won the remix contest to gabriel anandas >glücksmelodie< and also released tracks on karmarouge, meerestief, harthouse and other labels. blackisbeautiful created two tracks in real handicraft with alerion and purpur: mesmerizing and enthralling at the same time! music that invites you to dance and yet puts you to rest for a closer listen. attention to detail and experiment-happiness get you addicted to blackisbeautiful: occasional street recordings of sounds in everyday life and sampling of snap-shots run through their dynamic sound images.

nys underground celebrity, electronic obscurity and rare disco specialist william burnett (aka grackle, aka speculator) delivers an ep that truly defies any categorization and therefore will have a harder time to find its way into the stores usually packed with easily digestible pre-masticated dancefloor stew that comes with filing recommandations. the music on this record evokes images of mad peyote sessions held amidst dry and sandy landscapes. the original desert acid sounds like a jam machines and instruments would do when left on their own, unsupervised by humans. a wobbly and acidey synthline goes on a psychedelic journey with fuzzy guitar riffs, backed by a stompy almost tribal discobeat. düsseldorfs currently most interesting band musiccargo rework the piece into a cinematic krautdisco gem that floats on a loopy vibraphone drone, sprinkled with german and english lyrics. sombrero galaxy (aka cbs/intergalactic fm regular dj tako reyenga and his mysterious uk buddy jonny nash) take the track into cosmic realms (rare occasion where the term really fits) and their version could easily be interpreted as a vangelis tribute. the last track on the ep we are it is a slow 808 jam with druggy and spaced out fuzzy vocals, paired with equally druggy and fuzzy guitars. if you are a filmmaker and you need a song for a weird desert scene youd be an idiot not to consider this one the perfect choice.

>no turning back< has been clearly declared as the choice cut by the fans and djs everywhere.
first remix comes from the wighnomy brothers, who deliver a pure sunset rubdown.
on the flip the mole delivers a remix that defines what the term deep should mean to folks out there.

as house continues to take its stronghold over techno, even in berlin the epicentre of all things minimal, we gear up for a summer of ‘actual’ dancing over regimented arm pumping and head nodding. having impressed laurent garnier, m.a.n.dy, solumun, karotte, tg (tim green) and ellen alien last year with his collaboration with enzo elia, martin patiño caught the attention of true to form with his fresh, playful approach to house and techno and hypnotic percussive elements .born in italy, but with south american roots and now living in berlin, you can hear vibrant audio recollections seeping onto every groove. citing dali’s surrealist paintings as another creative reference (a nod to which is contained in the track title ‘the tempation’), you could say martin draws on the atypical compared to your average electronic producer.the result is the blissful simplicity of ‘sundays’ on the a side, percussive, sundrenched and a perfect am terrace lifter.on the flip side is peak time tech house groover ‘the temptation’ and a hypnotic, dub heavy remix of black dahlia (the original of which will appear on the digital only release) produced with long term cohort enzo elia. true to form, now in its 5th year, showcases tracks and remixes from such respected producers as pan pot, gavin herlihy, jesse rose, samim, pascal foes, mikael weil, justin maxwell, claude von stroke, subjekt, tom ellis, leif and more

after a winter break and a with new focus on original and forward thinking house, boe is back for 2009 with one of the hottest detroit artists to break onto the scene in years. kris wadsworth is a man who truly has his own unique production style. for years the term minimal has been banded about for music with little soul, originality and that essence of dance music, a groove. kris is a guy whose interpretation of minimalistic music oozes all of these qualities and much, much more, stripped down, funked up house that takes the listener back to when house was raw, full of energy and brimming with soul. his production resembles that of an early herbert, crunching and twisting his way though drum samples and polished chords to create a sound that is simple and intoxicating yet difficult to copy. less, it seems, is most definitely more. dig is kris first four-track ep and showcases his sound through four slices of deep, groovy late night house. the first track the depths of is kris sound summed up in just under nine minutes. the first three minutes belong to a long intro that builds and builds through vox snippets, stab samples, synth chords and h-hats that ride the groove. the track breaks down only to kick back in with a chunky snare and trippy pads to whip the listener into a frenzy. macrotones is a wonky late night rhythm synth track that wouldnt sound out of place at fabric at 7am. on the flip, white bread kicks off where the depths of left off, a catchy rhythm with swinging stabs and moody chords. a growling, gut-moving baseline makes the track a real dance floor favourite. the final track on the ep is haunted house a deep houser with a delayed bassline perfect for those late-night moments.

like his dj status, as a producer, jesse rose is a guarantee. world renowned for the sound he created with long term mentor and dubsided label boss dave switch taylor, jesse is now the guy you turn to when you want a dancefloor remix, lending his services to the likes of hot chip, simian mobile disco, underworld and literally tonnes more.

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.

a welcome return for harry choo choo romero & long term studio partner jose nunez back with a massive summer anthem that is sure to light up miami & ibiza this year. based on a sample of the classic high energy over a relentless groove 2 remixes from dj dlg that turn it into a real terrace anthem

lars niekisch is most well-known for his berlin partnership with frank hermann as trick and kubic. since 2005 they have carved out vintage releases on labels such as get physical and great stuff. voyager is lars first solo release, acidic, ravey and thoroughly deep down and dirty, it has smashed many a main room in recent weeks. voyager has already been licensed to a forthcoming hernan cattaneo mix compilation, and the single also features the debut remix from long term buzzin fly resident dj, chris woodward. the track has received great feedback from a-list club djs including john digweed, solomon, cattaneo and the dirt crew. this is the latest single from ben watts respected imprint, buzzin fly. collectors artwork on the 12inch.

bleeps, clicks and quirks escape your speakers as soon as the needle drops into the groove - and even that moment is an essential element of the transition from your world to frank bretschneiders universe of sound.

incl polder remix !! for his first ep on safari electronique andre crom(heimatmelodie/sender/leftroom) delivers 3 new tracks with his new style. more melodic as usual & with detroit influences. polder closed this ep with a deep tek hypnotic remix, just really good for your after parties. deep and sensual are the right term to use for this amazing ep of andre crom. well done!!! already played by tarzan and all the animals in the jungle…

strong techno 4-tracker, made by sebastian kramer for his own content imprint in 2005.

following a debut release from pig & dan comes an ep from one of the most exciting production duos around. fresh from their acclaimed e=mb2 album in 2008, belgian techno legend marco bailey and long-term studio partner tom hades have crafted two mighty slabs of techno power. raw energy and speaker-freaking bass is the order of the day with f16. . forged from a few simple but extremely well matched elements, this is high-grade incendiary techno at its best.

for the very first time on kitsune to the exception of a remix! etienne de crecy does an impressive live show with cubes highly recommended. with daft punk, air and alex gopher, he is a member of the french producers club who made history. his track here is techno in the old and noble sense of the term. ultraviolence on the dancefloor. each time its played in clubs, faces look like they are melting, the crowd is on its knees, begging for mercy and they are happy to be there. then >hanukkah< also works in the car monsieur jo, etiennes partner here, is a sound engineer and has produced albums for phoenix and cazals.the ep includes remixes from rising french producers les petits pilous and kitsunes favorite australian dj beni!

nice price deal !!! if youve been lucky enough to catch any of deadmau5 sell out shows this summer then you will know this one. bsod, the amazing pairing of deadmau5 & steve duda (long term producer of nine inch nails, a perfect circle and many, many more!) return with one of the biggest tracks from deadmau5s world tour – milton…

even though danger is ever-present in many of our daily lives, most have the luxury to live a sheltered life protecting them from day to day harm. the red zone is a term usually used to describe a very dangerous if not lethal area in which one must tread and dj bone takes you there with this ep

to mark the third release from cosmo & gary lucas hugely acclaimed wild rumpus project, they ve bagged a collaboration with vocal entertainer extraordinaire beardyman – the result being the tripped out hoe down that is rock the joint. wild rumpus have been at the forefront of the cosmic tip since the reggae dub bliss out musical blaze up released in 2007 and the ensuing surf anthem purple somersault which sent psychedelic taste buds sizzling alongside other acts such as beyond the wizards sleeve, time & space machine, voice of the seven woods – and of course goldfrapp. this new single rock the joint takes the sound to another dimension. once again - originality at its most outstanding. featured artist beardyman is becoming more popular than kate moss phone number, from headlining stages at glastonbury, lovebox, rise, bestival and bloom rock the joint features a remix by reverso 68 and has already been given props by long term fans radio ones rob da bank and lemon jellys fred deaken.

our secret friend, a parisian edit don supreme, has completly reworked these tracks giving a whole new meaning to the term edit..already in demand from those that know... in fact, people have been beggin for this one...

sawtooth - lately this term appears quite often and not only in reviews for the new dapayk solo album „devil’s house“. with „acid pornofski“ he demonstrates that the tracks on his album do not mark the end of the story. wrapped in a single release with „right here with me“ and „how low“ on the a-side you can see dapayk’s true colors on the very b-side. and of course it’s a lot easier to do so on a single. like back in the best days of rave you hear the endless modulation of a monstrous acidbassline. everybody who has experienced one of dapayk’s live pas knows how sweaty these sets are about to end. and for the last few months „acid pornofski“ is neither seldom nor randomly the peak

underwater is a true breakthrough a song so undeniably laid back and catchy, the duo came up with the term cosmic sea shanty to sum it up. with its undeniable madchester/beta band delivery, dfa decided it was more of an e shanty, especially the dub on the flipside, which blends warm keys, euphoric piano, and a killer bass line. underwater is more unique magic from the tiny sticks men and a new page in their still evolving career.

big with: davide squillace, lee burridge, steve lawler, laurent garnier, ante perry,katotte,thomas schumacher, shinedoe..italys young odds label has been gathering a lot of support over the last few years with its string of quality tech inspired release featuring artists such as elia casetti orchestra, the dolphins, ajello, luke solomon and alex dolby. this time its the term of duo martin patino and enzo elia to step up with the release of their >metamorfosi di narciso ep<.enzo elias previous release for the likes of one louder berlin and mantra vibes have seen his standing as producer and dj grow at a rapid rate and teaming up with half pervvian partner martin patino.it seems the pair are determined to further make their mark with this outstanding ep of late nicht electronic club cuts.lead track >metamorfosi di narcisio< is a stripped minimal affair that draws you in from the opening bars.sparse and tight drums lay down the base for a slowly building intense track heavy aon percussion and full of a atmosphere despite its simple and spacey arrangement.

once again featuring long-term toddla collaborator serocee, >>soundtape killin<< comes on like a bashment anthem for the electro age. undoubtedly a dance floor smash serocees cut and spliced vocals get down with a dirty electro beat which is intermittently interrupted by pulsating synths. remixes come courtesy of hotly tipped newcomers detboi and nastee boi. following on from a number of painfully limited 12inch – most notably on herves new cheep thrills imprint – irish sensation detboi delivers a rarefied electro banger of a remix. on the back of this, garage rude boy and t2 comrade nastee boi, drops a bassline infused version that is equally infectious.

the 3rd release by scott grooves on his natural midi label, this is scotts first ever ep and color vinyl release. all 4 tracks possess a different mood and distinct raw edge, which plays well on this well balanced ep.track 1 dark blu speaks for itself, simply stated and deeply enriched. the relentless melody never lets go of the groove and the groove never lets go the melody. everything in this track harmonizes together perfectly.track 2 dna definitely disturbs the peace with vintage analog synth sounds. the old school sounding vocal sample echoes thruout the track that >detroit needs analog records< take a listen and decide if that echoes true!track 3 >it doesnt all have to be techy< as the title suggest there is know >techyness< here, its all about a deeply stormin groove that is enriched with warm melodic keys and a lovely guitar, yes i said guitar that altogether creates a feelin thats organic but not boring. track 4 decimalquivers in and out with a fm gritty synth stab, complete with minimal drums or as scott calls them >drims< which is the term scott uses for minimal drums. also present is a deep pad sound that brews slowly like an eruption. co-produced by panther, a name you will hear more about in the future

the term >ballad< is written similarly in many languages of the western hemisphere. it is a antique word. you can find its etymological origin in the latin verb >ballare< - which means >to dance< - and the greek verb >ballein< - wich means >to move<. a ballad is always a story told through music. in recent times the term >ballad< is often associated with greasy / absurd pop music. what a shame! ballad inc. releases tracks that earn the label >ballad<. on our first release >exile< you can listen to the epic story >high hopes of salvation< by quietpoint and to two short stories by xdb. >anilem< and >jupit< got everything a ballad needs. of course you can dance to it. of course you can move your body. but this should not be the main issue! there is so much more in modern instrumental music. who needs words to tell a story?

incl hot d.i.m. remix !! the cooperation between dance experts luuk cox and jimmy dewit became a term in a very short time. they proudly present their new single, >heartccore<. this is a school example of a direct hit, the title matches the music perfectly.

incl mathias kaden rmx!! less starts his debut e.p. on enliven music with a fantastic double-track a-side with his point of view to the elastic term >enliven<. yes, but now turn on to side b, here, mathias kaden is waiting with a timeless remix of >sans of<

as a label you sometimes get demos in that make you listen up right with the first beats. >deep valley< and >to the groove< by silent hill are one of these rare examples. a high production quality and massive, powerful beats leave no doubt, heres an experienced engineer at work. man behind this project is long-term producer thomas kutger getting the assist of evil concussion. two tracks as different as complementary – >deep valley< attends to the deeptechy fields whereas >to the groove< is more of a housy affair, but both with an enormous pressure and bassheaviness to set both dancefloors and sound systems on fire.

the eponimous release of detroit wax.coms 1st single is already reason enough to be hyped! that could not be all could it…? of course not! it also smarts so good as it is the first ever proper release of eric d. clark in the states, plus since it was liscensed from firm recordings by eddie fowlkes for his spankin (to coin a term) new label www.detroitwax.com, implies that this song is definitely of the highest in dance music quality!

x.l.r.8.r. is the new sister label of marc o tools mauritius imprint, which has grown from strength to strength with genre-uniting and boarder-breaking dancefloor weapons such as criss source >hugs n kisses, marc o tool >the sinner in me< and diverse releases from ballroom, marc vision & björn mandry. as the name suggests, the labels focus is on acceleration and so will be devoted to technoid and darker music - driving engines strictly designed for burning on the floor. its the techno face of the mauritius camp, so to say! the label premiere comes from label honcho marc o tool himself joining forces with his long-term companion and brother in crime criss source. their opener >showtime< kick-starts the label and perfectly shows what to expect from x.l.r.8.r. in the future! and if that s not enough acceleration yet, check the pounding >indigo< on the flip

shitdisco follow up with their next single, the riotous >i know kung fu<. fun, intense, whooping indierock shenanigans all the way and the twelve inch comes with a noisy goose remix to boot. on the b side radioclit take on >ok< while nu-rave as a term appears to have been born for passions mix of >dream of infinity<

kontra-musik 006 moves the label into the analog domain of electronic dance music. this kind of sound you only get with the good old analogues. the a-side, produced by the master of the modular system, pseudonym scaff, takes us deep down our favorite techno memory lane. if techno was the meeting of kraftwerk and george clinton in an elevator, ssm 440 is the outcome of jeff mills and maurizio having breakfast at tiffanys. this track is warm, dubby and monotonous but with a drive heading straight for the late night dance floor. the b-side gives us two unique sounding tracks from pseudonym aparatus. city tunnel slowly and elegantly grinds, cranks and turns while building its way towards dance floor bliss. x-presso is best described as periodic fluctuations of voltages in the analog domain. elegant details of beautiful sound take us back to the time when minimal music still was interesting. this is >techno< in the sense that the term was originally intended. enjoy cause analog is the bastard

huge with: david duriez, ziel 100, paul hazendonk, tomaz, slok, alex flatner, dave lambert … big in raveline, freshguide & on radio fritz after some years of silence and only occasional releases,now since summer 2006 mijk van dijk is paving his way back into the second term of his career. his releases on labels such as international deejay gigolo recordings, big & dirty, kling klong and blufin are again landmarks in electronic music and yet breathe the spirit of his best works in the 90s. mijk created new alter egos like >plato<, whose >bass erstaunt-ep< won fans worldwide. the new plato >wanderlust-ep< has just been released on big & dirty records. this >motherwomb< ep is definetely part of the new trend, as techno and trance are finally cellebrating their comeback after years of minimal and tech-house...

a fresh new three album track remix ep containing mixes by charles webster, the long term deep house maniac who serves to be an incredibly good choice, will saul, label owner of simple and aus, and a final remix by the man himself phonique. the charles webster remix of worked it out starts off as a nice thudding beat with a crisp minimal click on the offbeat, until an echoing vocal sample swifts in and around starting off the soft but pushing shoulder shifting bass line. smooth piping reverbed blows outline an almost euphoric melody, a very trippy and atmospheric tune with soft cymbals pattering away in the background. soothing sounds and housey chords mix perfectly to make a chilled out dreamy beach tune with a nice progressing beat. a swerling bridge with a 90s casio chord melody steps in and then fades out to the echoes of the vocals drifting silently away into the sun. on b1 its the will saul remix of bang. dun, dun, dun, dun, whoosh! - then a descending high minor melody calling with an electric bass response. squeeky bird sounds and weird reverbed chords makes you feel like you‘re in a crazy dream falling and falling yet the beat keep you stable and composed just about! an out of tune dungeon computer game. strange but true and also very interesting!! and finally, on b2 its the phonique version of space cruise feat. gui borrato. trekking through a spaceship journey tune with mechanical functional sounds releasing here and there. a repetitive two noted melody comes in and fades out, is replaced by an array of spaced out tones, arrivies back again, meets up and resounds into a fanc

the term legend is applied to many djs and producers without credence, louie vega is one of the elite few who truly warrant the title. from the latin influences that shaped the early stages of his career, through his inspired partnership with kenny dope gonzalez as master at work, to his winning a grammy in 2006, louie vega is one of the true pioneers of house music. here, louie takes you on a personal journey through the music of his life, entwining salsa, jazz, samba, funk and soul into the house lead beats and grooves, producing a mix more than worthy of his fêted ability. this is house music at its very finest

another dynamic instalment from the nagano kitchen duo (jerome sydenham & hideo kobayashi). these tracks continue the ibadan legacy of pushing the boundaries. >destination nagano< is a rhythmic tech house journey with classic chicago and detroit overtones in true ibadan style. >head<, on the other hand, is a stripped down beefy club track with a big techno beat and classic chicago chords. destined for term use.

big in mixmag, idj, urb,… supported by laurent garnier, ewan pearson, thomas schumacher, justin robertson, jennifer cardini, kiki,… first up on the >bulb fuel ep<, is the intelligent techno of >bulb fuel< , a dischordant delight of minor-key chords and the aural equivalent of an acid-trip thats reached tipping point. alongside the original mix from the boys themselves, the bulb fuel remixes pulls together some of the finest current remix talent, letting loose the likes of rui da silva & the new yorker (nate mars). a long-term supporter of ortzroka, rui da silvas remix is a stripped back affair propelled by a hypnotic, bouncy bassline

incl. pig & dan rmx!! a big epic masterpiece for the open-airs ! with frank müller aka beroshima, we welcome one of germanys senior techno house producers, who is combining the best from both house and techno already since 1994 - long before the implementation of the term >tech-house<. whereas frank müller just like guy gerber was never caught between two stools but rather has the rare talent to reach both house and techno fans with his productions. and so he does again with his cocoon debut >horizon<, an hommage which reminds of the grand ol times of r&s, with xxl suspense, driving beats and hypnotic sounds and melodies

essential compilation! already played by sven väth, karotte, laurent garnier, jimpster,…. >grand cru< is a term used in the wine business and normally denominates a special wine, which is made from the best grapes of both one wine-producing area and one vintage. the stylistic diversities featured on this compilation arent less refined and versatile. at the same time this compilation boasts of a representative selection of artists who already released on connaisseur as well as up-andcoming new members of our artist pool. this selection is the beginning of a periodical series which will be released on a yearly basis. apart from afrilounge coming along with an elegantly lowered house groove, another artist who has already released on connaisseur, surely jochen trappe will be setting the benchmark with his glitch-rock-tech track. there are more familiar faces to be encountered – for example daso teaming up with his ingenious partner pawas. they both make even the most lame couch potato taste their own very special beaujolais and freak out on the dancefloor - blood , sweat and tears!

perspectiv records has a very distinct and specific vision : to give new producers and music makers an alternative opportunity for long-term self-expression. the sound of perspectiv is definitely electronic and atmospheric but most of all intelligent and very dancefloor orientated! the owners of perspectiv are raphaël ripperton & sam k. for our first release we are very pround to present the brilliant >connected ep< from young producer ndru a.k.a andre gansebohm. after his incredible >a pony named clipklop< on liebe*details, ndru is back with an amazing 3 track ep.

kraze aka. richard jean laurent began songwriting and performing in 1985. in 1988 he created >i say shut up< and >the party<, who became a house music classics even before that term existed! these songs catapulted kraze into one of house music s first bonafide stars, making him performing at venues ranging from the best clubs to wembley arena and the prince of tunesia s home. he reached top 10 all over the world, but especially >the party< is still used from george clinton to david bowie to political campaigns to radio themes to coney islands.
