nice price deal !!! being in the same gene pool as pat sharpes hair is enough of a stigma to steer any young djs career off course - deep in the discos of pop trash. fortunately for metaphi / metske, although still benefitting from the same glossy 90s locks as the radio-jock/distant uncle, musical inspiration came from more complex climates. wigflex006 acts as a fine electronic switchboard to metaphis archive of talents, a complicated circuit board of the experimental ranging from hip hop, idm, and garage to blues harmonicas and classical rifts, seamlessly melted into one gloop of green circuitry where each musical discipline must co-exist with another. as metske the bpms hover around 95, the framework is hip-hop, the sound often skwee but the influences thereafter are endless, slow train blues clicks its way through a steam train intro before marring the lines between electronic music and the blues with a self-composed harmonica rift worthy of howlin wolf. at the same tempo spin states delves into the cosmic with pipey neon chords and bit-crunched bass: sega mega drive boss level business. metaphis taste for big room techno is blatant and genetically wigflex over sharpflex, and in terms of nationality its mongrel, half notts, half eastern europe. with concious mentis hes keeping things minimal but charged from lower frequencies and messmode progresses with some serious dancefloor swagger.

supported and played by luciano, marco carola, steve lawler, dubfire, richie hawtin, gel abril, someone else, brothers vibe, butch, david keno, jairo catelo among others. after browsing their sound on safari numerique, mate u join forces with denny k in this >forgotten groove ep<, a good 90s exercise that represents the third installment of novotek raw series. leix and samus label proves unstoppable and its sound is shown as one of the strongest bets of this present year.

rosario born argentinean franco cinelli has been firmly rooted behind the decks since the tender age of 14. drawn by the call of the drums and having researched the creation of music through computers and samplers, the mid 90s saw cinellis first productions taking shape. rapidly becoming a key player on the argentine scene, franco played throughout the country, holding a residency at the prestigious el sotano. his first forays to europe came in 2003, but it was 2005 that his own music really made an impact. having released a handful of releases and mix compilations on smaller labels, it was his picaro ep with bruno pronsato that really brought him to the attention of the music world. since then, franco has gone on to release and remix for a number of established imprints including ilian tape, produkt, claque musique, hello repeat, airdrop , international freakshow, alphahouse and the label of his great friend kasper, esperanza. in 2011 following his critically acclaimed >planet dub< debut ep on bass culture records, franco cinelli finally achieved global recognition with his massive underground remix of cassius >sound of violence< that placed strongly in many of the end-of-year top 10 best remix of 2011 lists. today franco returns to bass culture records for a new take on his trademark deep & techy house with 4 original tracks on the >take me back< ep

anhura vinyls debut in the exclusive and acclaimed vinyl edition is, as it was expected, a complete success. max chapman & aj christou are in charge of gruds & kecks. this release starts with a moderate disco house nearly background melody at some points, and evolves into more tech grounds which plunge us directly in a deep, retro-spatial sphere. a place where this electronic and bass sounds coming from the 80s and 90s provide it with amazing timelessness whenever it is heard. it is an uncommon release diverging from the mainstream and ideal to start a completely promising series.

>let yrself be<, the second single to be taken from jimmy edgars critically acclaimed majenta, tells the story of, in resident advisors words, a nomadic sex fiend gone clubbing. two of the albums more brazen house cuts are the focus, evincing an artist as adept at catering for dance-floor and dj as he is for the home-listener.
the title track is a beatific cruise through stabs, chords, claps and slaps to a place where 90s house meets garage vocals, shutters are raised and everyone dances happily ever after. >heartkey<, on the other hand, shows a starchild at his sultriest. chugging along with electro swagger and vocoder charm, his claims to be the only one with the key to your heart are hard to disbelieve. lock up your android daughters.

we think everything we release on frijsfo is fresh. at the same time we believe it doesnt hurt to stay in touch with your roots, which is something buzzin10 does in a fascinating way. we cant tell you much about this young producer from east london, a publicity-shy individual whose music we first heard thanks to his older brother. but we do know he pieces together rhythms by sampling fragments from old tape packs – mainly garage nations late 90s recordings of some of the best djs of all time, including dj ez, karl tuff enuff brown, dj luck & mc neat, and ray hurley.

we are very proud and honered to release this ep by function aka dave sumner from sandwell district. one of technos true underground heroes, function (dave sumner) has been djing and making music for over 15 years. hailing from new york, he was seduced by techno music when jeff mills held a residency (as well as his own first) at the limelight in the early 90s. dave started to produce music and from the mid-90s onwards, put out music on damon wilds synewave and his own infrastructure imprint. together with regis (karl o connor) he worked as portion reform, putting out uncompromising music on downwards and becoming the only non-birmingham producer to release on the label. in 2008 dave moved to berlin, still working with regis, and now silent servant (john mendez), put his focus on the acclaimed sandwell district imprint. obsessed is a supper powerfull floating track for the dancefloor, a typical function production. this ep also contains remixes from substance and scb aka scuba, both peak-time tracks.

another limited edtition ep (300 copies!)vinyl is the answer, dont miss it! after the big success of the first part of underground warriors ep, heres the second part, definitely more dub than the first one, except for fabio monesis track, a very uptempo, energetic track that captures a perfect 90s feel, emphasized by the raw sound of fabio monesis machines. the ep includes also the finnish deymare, recently released on local talk, morris audio, hizou.jack the love has a deeper and more chicago house feel to the last two tracks, it has nice jazzy instrument samples and a nice subtle vocal. again this track has a perfect 90s feel.

jay west from argentina has been releasing quality deep house (the real sort that is) for the past decade, last years smile ep on bebr got some serious playlist and chart action from everybody who knows their shit, and were please to welcome him to the moodmusic family. the ep starts with blame the music, the sort of feel-good house music we used to get loads of in the early to mid 90s from the big apple. swinging beats, almost disco bass and a sunshine filled vocal are the ingredients for a tune, and jay has delivered one. this will probably not be belted by the kids house community, but real heads knows what to do with this weapon. down continues the journey with victor simonelli style keys and a bouncy bassline, making place for the low-slung in & out tune which have some serious west coast mushroom influences. we love it! to end the ep the catchy little mean machine finally brings the smile to your face.

forging a fantastic fusion of modern electronic pop, human woman are the new signing on hamburg’s hfn records. originally hailing from iceland, the band consists of gísli galdur thorgeirsson of prolific icelandic band trabant, and producer jón atli helgason aka sexy lazer. now after the launch of their debut single,delusional, with its sensual, indie-dance roots and pleasing 80s/90s undertones, we see the pair expand their vision of modern electronic pop with a feelgood, rich and edgy album spanning 11 glorious tracks.

the two brothers known as kyodai strike back, showcasing their phenomenal musical education on local talk. what else to expect from a duo that gained respect from musical heavy weights like masters at work, jimpster, gilles peterson and releases on freerange & nitelife. on >breaking< the beats and bassline are in constant motion, building the track with suble hooks into an epic breakdown which tears the track apart and then rebuilds it even bigger. the 90s mix is a stripped down version of the original, with that organ hook we all love and refuse to stop dancing too, accompanied with strings and percussion that ties the whole track together and brings back memories of a hot and sweaty sunday afternoon at body & soul, in the 90s! local talk is talking to you!

newcomer italian label traxx underground calls on the service of kool vibe, a veteran record collector & clubber from paris who, after a well-received debut release on my love is underground, is back to offer four tracks produced with the steady hand of someone who knows his way around a house tune. as announced in the title of this ep record, mr. vibe continues to spread the vibe, this 90s house vibe made of tough drums, bumpin basslines, warm chords and chopped vocals. kool vibe has clearly been nurtured by all that was good about deep and garage house coming from new york and new jersey back in the 90s and he proves it again with this second release

ayoze chico & ollie mendez aka sonogama met each other at the beginning of the 90s thanks to the same interest and enthusiasm for house music. with some more material to be released soon, these two will be very soon ones to watch!

faze action have never been comfortable with the nu disco tag, and in an age where its dominated by digitally designed and somewhat pedestrian in its tempo the lee brothers return with a dynamic live sound that sets them apart. freak for your love is the lead track from their forthcoming album information overload and straddles a sick dubbed out punk funk groove that brings to mind the sort of incessantly sweat inducing music dfa was releasing in the labels first few years. a pleasant new direction for faze action is explored further on the accompanying new wave disco dub mix that delves further into the realm of echo and delay over that strident groove. the mysterious st holds court on the flip with two rerubs that switch the emphasis up towards a throwback bumping 90s house flex without loosing the originals charm

first up is 92, a straight up jacking deep house number with, as the title suggests, a retro flavour. the deep repetitive pads are jacked up with amen break style drums that were used so widely in electronic music back in the 90s. some quirky synth lines and vocal licks here and there give the track its touch of soul and then a fat bass line to bring in the bottom end. high quality simple yet effective house music...

a new project emerges harnessing the collective powers of a trio of artists who are riding high at the moment on a collective base of success and pure raw talent - maya jane coles, george levings (commix) and alex jones (hypercolour, playhouse and many others.. ) as you would expect from such a high calibre project the music is nothing short of superb - the a side is a glorious nod to the classic tech house sound that emerged in the 90s - an exciting and vibrant time for house music in general, this untitled gem bumps along on an infectious groove with an underlying griminess keeping the vibe grinding along in all the right places. the flip side juxtaposes this rawness with a beautiful melancholic and melodically flecked early hours ride. a real mood piece with a definite sense of warmth to bliss out the dancefloor.

first intercontinental flight for etchetta nera, destination chicago... we are proud to have on board for this release a real techno legend, one of our 90s hero, mike dearborn. well known for his releases on top label as djax up beats, majesty recordings, tresor and bush just to name a few mike can be considered a major figure of the chicagoan scene, without a doubt. he give us a remix of classic techno, simple and rockin...thats how we know mike and his sound, unique and groovy....we just love it... mainthread original version is a pumping track well done by francesco & mirko with synth and stab in pure u.s. techno style. play it, love it

nice price deal !!! real name dan griober, dan habarnam has been active since the 90s, doing production for romanian pop artists while also working on his own projects. his solo catalog is pretty slim, with just a few appearances on drum & bass labels like santorin and subtle audio, but from the known is clearly the work of an experienced artist: though loosely anchored in techno, ambient and bass music, its stylistically open-ended, and produced with an audiophiles attention to detail. according to the label, groibers meticulousness extended to the mastering process as well (the cd, for instance, was recorded direct from the vinyl to achieve that special analog feel)

as the story goes ame & dixon heard osunlade play envision out in america, were completely bowled over by it, rushed the dj booth and immediately asked to remix and release it. they did and it turned out to be quite possibly the biggest record of 2011. to coincide with the release of the osunlade in the house compilation defected have re-released the record with brand new remixes ensuring that this summer will be once again dominated by the vocal sounds of envision. argys vocal and dub take things into classic mid 90s new york-esque territory, garage sounding bass line, looped vocal intro… if you didnt know any better youd be forgiven for thinking that was from the hand of a certain mark kinchen

an electro hacktivist since the 90s, french techno pionneer, inventor of what became electro clash with miss kittin, true italo disco lover, legitimate son of dopplereffekt and kraftwerk and godfather of the new french sensation gesaffelstein with whom he runs the label zone. when michel amato (his real name) contacted us with a few tracks we felt so honored. he really got back to his roots here with deep italo and electro, warm analog synths against cold robotic drum machines, great melodies. it would have been a hit on the now defunct cbs radio.

incl huge brendon moeller resketch. majestic yet playful, monotasking is a 9-minute love letter to the euphoric lost dance floors of the mid-90s written in the code of today. merging hypnotic polyrhythms with quirky swung drums, its the harmonically modulated chords that carry the theme, transcending their elusively simple rhythm with an evocative narrative structure that seamlessly guides the flow of the piece before evaporating into the translucent pads of the outro. pulling no punches, monotasking is perhaps preds most fearless work to date - with no better home than here on thoughtless.
