london s idjut boys (dan tyler & conrad mcconnell) and rune lindbaek of oslo are meanderthals. as longtime friends and fans of each other’s music they have discussed the idea of working together in a musical context for years and in 2008, they finally began to make those ideas a reality. throughout the year they traveled back and forth between oslo and london to create their debut album, desire lines. the album is due the 11th of may. but before that, this 12&#8243,,, taster of the andromeda (album track) as well as a idjut boys remix) a meanderthal is a theory by matthew tiessen about a human that is always in the way of others. whether it be the person on the wrong side of the escalator, the person walking slowly, the person bicycling on the pavement, it is essentially the person that stops the flow of urban daily life. on the contrary, lindbaek, tyler and mcconnell s definition does not see this person as a threat, but as a person that is completely in his own world – a slacker, musically on his own. this could also be a good description of lindbaek and the two idjut boys. meanderthals serves mellow balearic disco. a warm and dreamy blend of dub, folk, prog, kraut, psychedelia and 70s west-coast combined to invent an organic, slanted, and proggy feel. recorded live, the album features contributions from good friends, including pete z (dj harvey) on keyboards, des morgan (yamwho?) on drums and percussion, malcolm jospeh (grace jones) on bass, per martinsen (aka mental overdrive) on percussion and raj gupta (laj & quakerman) as sound engineer

the faint return in 2009 with remixes by some of their favorite artists. das glow re-imagines “mirror error” as only he can. members of the faint have been playing das glow in their dj sets since they first heard the music on institubes. djedjotronic has been one of the faint’s favorite boys noize artists, and the remix of “machine in the ghost” on this release shows djedjotronic in rare form, focusing on the spirituality of the lyrics. tensnake’s inclusion on this package came at the suggestion of boysnoize rec. label head alex ridha. the faint’s manager, joel mark, comments: ” when i heard these tensnake mixes, i left them on repeat for hours. battle hymn for children has always been one of our favorite songs on fasciinatiion, but tensnake was able to take it to brand new areas that we never would have imagined. i could listen to a 30 minute version of this remix. ” nice

big with: richie hawtin, dubfire, dj hell, mandy, dj t, james what, ralph lawson... well what can we say, two tracks that could not be more different from well know mainz/ germany based artist butch aka bülent gürler. the a side >destruction< is a track that so perfectly fits into the scene of german minimal house, we think it will be eaten up immediately by the dj scene. the flipside track >muskatnuss< is more challenging and made for the advanced djs. this track is weird, funky, housey and more on the side of the new school of house we get nowadays from cecille and similar labels. the track makes use of samples from butchs most sought after sample libaries that include fantastic cartoon sounds he has cut up and arranged rhythmically. a stunning performance!

mufo has garnered attention a few years ago with his c.l.a.u.d.i.a. 12-inch for kompakts k2 imprint, and sounds set to do so again with colors. anything but monochromatic, >one color< opens with stripped-down, tech-house swing before adding shuffling pulses and melodic accents that are both jittery and robotic. working itself up to a skittish, metronomic broil, the track exudes an android relentlessness that?s offset by repeated change-ups. on the b-side, di francesco brings the funk on >two colors<, six minutes of swizzling electro-techno whose palette is anything but muted. the tune squawks and sputters like some incessantly sneezing synthesizer apparatus in what could pass for a fractured 23rd-century techno take on zydeco. with this release in hands, its again proven without a doubt, that persistencebit continues the global hunt for quality. supported by: robert leiner (www.leinermedia.net): >good use of the korg wavestation on both< andrew duke (andrew duke in the mix radio brodcast since 1987): >excellent my favourite track is one color< ryaz khan (ww.chry.fm / myspace.com/diversionsradioshow): >solid release i love both cuts<xpansul (minus,plus 8 records): >two colors is great. thanks.<

selected advent deal. - this debut release on new imprint numbercult is sure to make waves, pulling no punches with this weighty production. the series hits off with a anonymous artist (which most likely is not making his debut here, judging on the production skills). the a side kicks off landlines, 11 minutes of driving deepness, an overdriven stabbing subbass and solid percussion give the track monstrous bottom end with the hypnotic lead line almost vanishing in the vastness. this could be descriped as a kind of mid 90s techno... the rawer side of basic channel or fcom. an absolute sexy monster track that keeps pushing forward and remains its funky almost dubby drive. strong! from the b side clonic is a driving mills esque x 103 ish assault, layering discordant acid lines to produce an intense and relentless track, broken only once with soaring beautiful strings. a side is essential! the b side only for the headstrong. a great start for this new label from glasgow releasing limited releases of high calibre deep techno from a dynamic collective of producers. a label grounded on the basics of techno with an open mind to the future. and what a great start. check!!!

santiago salazar, ladies and gentlemen! member of underground resistance, producer of los hermanos, recording artist for planet e. a biography made in heaven. macro pulls the most incredible people these days and theres a method to the madness: >arcade< immediately shows why santiago is known to be one of detroits most forward thinking producers and djs. the chords! the hook! the synths! the drums! finally an anthem thats 0% retro and 100% euphoria. leaving the recent fashions behind, >arcade< spreads all the warmth and enthusiasm one could dream of this year. this is 2009! and if this wasnt enough: hot on the heels of >art of sorrow<, man of the moment stefan goldmann does his first remix for macro! his stunning version is a 15 minute monster. not just a jam, but a fully composed journey from deep reverberation to drum machine fueled peaks to a japanese flute and koto workout. depth on a new level. this is the difference this label makes - others do ambient, cosmic or krautrock. macro does the thrilling stuff.

with remixes by deekline and ed solo, swagger beats and rico tubbs, it very well could be the largest booty breaks track of 2009. a essential buy for those who like to bounce!

throughout the entire record is a pleasurable, weighted atmosphere that has a peculiar glow all its own which feels like it could bead up into a phosphorescing condensation, dripping down dark concrete walls.

sweet n candy catapults himself back into the arena and the timing could not be better. his intriguing 3-tracker presents the facettes of his contemporary work and he shows once again that he can pack a bag of treats

we kickstart 2009 with a big release! a collaboration between gregor salto & sidney samsons imprint samsobeats and sneakerz muzik. sidney samsons riverside is a radical piece of rhythmic techno and raw synthstabs with a dutch twist. already tried, tested and approved over the last three month by deejays like laidback luke, ericke and david guetta, this new production by sidney samson could be his international break. this remix package includes new versions by prok & fitch, rene amesz, ralvero, afrojack and randy santino.

played by 2000 and one, giles smith, nick curly, tobi neumann.... solomun is the owner of diynamic records in hamburg, top notch producer and a splendid dj as well, so a team up with jackmate came only natural. the first two pieces they deliver here, show their love for lush detroit-ish soundscapes, combined with demanding drums and repetitive chord progressions parexcellance! carnivale is like a growing storm on a hot summer day, building its tense with beautiful string arrangements and coming to a climax in rolling thunders of pure bliss! factory is a special little gem of its own, that could run for days, so subtle and charming is the flow of this early morning grower. highly recommended stuff

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythingÆs that sounds fine to their ears.for our 13th release , we decided to bring you guys an amazing ep done by the masters of italo disco & nu disco mavericks, the fantastic serge santiago & hardrock striker. it is called genialissimo wich could be translated in italo french (if this langage exists) as great & awesome!!! they came to us with one of the most intense drummy tracks we ve heard in years, reminding the best of carl craig circa designer music.

2nd release by the talented alan 1 from rome! this guy is doing some futuristic club music. his first release sold out in the first week.. and for this one it might even be more extreme. nature re incarnated final frontier records (which did the great analog fingerprints release via submerge in detroit) now its the 3rd release which is a special split project with nature records. alan 1 is a young gun doing some crazy versatile club tracks that could be easily described (we make it our selfs easy today) as soundhack meets adonis meets mr oizo. especially sniff them and fat eye(!!!) are totaly amazing cut up chicago future disco jackers! (limited on colored vinyl!!)!

a new gleaming star in the sky, intending to point the way in the promised land, abates the first misty-eyed, playful publication. nonetheless jackin, house-bounce red threads twist thru all tracks, which could not be more divergent. excellent, then each one is a grandiose dj-tool destined to keep the hearing nerves back in time. diversify guaranteed and impossible to keep still. label owners are the always-on-top swiss dj and producer steve cole and the berlin born robert stolt, charactering a part of the dj- and producing team with the pathbreaking name tagträumer2. it was his original contribution, impudent, vibrating propelling was unmistakable jimi hendrixs muse. like his mentor, he cleverly combined rock n roll with reveries, today an explosive mixture. the remix of tigerskin aka dub taylor is a psychedelic sound, that remind us of the best years of bordercommunity, like a nice lsd-trip known in to those days. the cream on the cakeis steve coles remix, maximal in defiance of minimal. he compiles the language of the woodstock heroes into the >sound of berlin< and wrapped it into a story, which can be patiently eavesdropped.

the summer 2009 is comming... this huge latinesque tune could be the soundtrack

we present to you four new tracks from tiger stripes, two of which can be found on the upcoming full-length album, safari. each track sounds like it comes from four different corners of house music, but all strike in unison to create a patchwork sound that could only be tiger stripes. his tracks are so universally rhythmic it can work on almost any dancefloor. each song embarks the listener in a voyage, telling a tale with its varied subliminal messages, with severe synth sounds and incredibly effective drum loops, clearly shining through on this masterpiece collection of danceable works....special rerelease

including krazy baldhead (ed banger) and spitzer remixes..who could have forseen that 2 piano players, and a drummer would be enough to change the way music will be seem and listened to in the future.... well, these guys could well be as important as battles....

smack my arsch could roughly be translated as smack my bottom what pervert might this be.., you think? well, all true hardtechno players surely know this crooked mastermind behing these two boots. this major player grabs the prodigy clan by the neck and has a nice long talk about the political incorrectness of smacking a so-called bitch up. when he s finished the uk ravers are told to drop their baggies for a solid bum spanking the ll not easily foget!

after a very long break afrobutt is back! many will recall the wonderful moments he brought us with offerings on big bear and noid. this time afrobutt jumps ship to the bright young things at electric minds. afrobutts life has been dedicated to two things and they are disco and butts. he spent the last 15 years researching these two subjects so he could then report his findings to the rest of his tribe. the journey has been a long one, but on his travels afrobutt would make recordings and rearrange them in way that would not offend the rest of his tribe. heres a 3 track ep tacking from the full length cd, shimmering in their full disco glory no stone has been left unturned to reach his goal of providing sexy, dubby disco music that will have you butt shaking at home or on a disco friendly dance floor.

following up his well-received works for statik entertainment, dublins leonid proudly lands at sistrum with three new tracks, crafted in his signature style of mature, classic depth. on the first track >sadim< a gorgeous bassline leads the way into gentle percussion and warm strings, as slightly acidic synth stabs take you back to the simpler days of dance. honest, unpretentious and deep. classic vibrations abound on the following cut >potsandpans<. the bassline sets the tone as sonic layers slowly build into a timeless groove that could easily go on forever. a beauty, by any standard. the ep closes with >shortwave<, a low-slung, shuffling groove, >shortwave< bumps along with the help of a round analog bassline and sharp claps, as shimmering chords swirl hypnotically. this one is destined to define many a late-night dancefloor moment

second release for the april77 record label... our sound is fast and tough. we dig the clash, buzzcocks, the jam and all that mid 70s early punk stuff. the list could go on and on (lenny pops, singer of the red hearts.). the red hearts are a household name in the los angeles indie rock and punk scene. they are lead by lenny pops, who formed the band in 2004 after having played in the brian jonestown massacre. the guys have shared the stage with cult icons such as silver apples, the avengers, as well as playing with many of todays top bands including black lips and lords of altamont.

stuart li aka basic soul unit is no unknown in the game, but hes new to our camp. after following his output for some time now, we finally could sign two tracks of his raw and edgy techno for philpot. >dank< is a growing piece of pure space funk! resonating basslines and banging drums collide with twisted arpeggios, fall apart and rise again… caused mayhem when tested out! >the stand< starts with some oldschool flavoured breaks to shuffle its way into bleepy heavens of acid-infected wildpitch craze! people, we must rise up from our graves! zeitlos, wie man bei uns sagt

the super sharp exile missile boys are back. chris beisswenger (cb funk, arto mwambe) & his former roommate philipp lange deliver their second ep called rayrider after the groundbreaking sidewinder 12” in 2006 which only sold 300 units. exile missile take their time and release 100% bullet-proof material only. so you really don’thave to worry that this could be a shitty record. …ahh and of course: ...massive breakdown in the middle and a cool hihat phrase-shift around 15:27 with super satellitesquesynth workouts and and and... oh yeah, heavy support from all the big jocks around loving the a side and droppingthis at peaktime in the big room... you know the deal

persistencebit returns with the follow up ep of wang incs meditations for a better world series, which first part on persistencebit has been highly acclaimed and has been given incredible reviews, such as in de.bug magazine among many others. previously on sonig, bip-hop, and context, he now reappears with number two of the series and once you start listening you will know it all makes sense, given how close in spirit wang inc. s fresh fusion of experimental treatments and funk-house grooves is laid down. throughout the ep, wang speckles his fabulous metal machine music with rolling bass lines, high-stepping beats, and brilliant splashes of synthetic colour, whether it s the pounding stepper mind the gap or the pulsating future-funk of you are late a near-perfect fusion of experimental and dance musics, hyperactive dog splatters its house-inflected steam-roller with showers of whirr and click, and animates it with snares that hit so hard they could chop your head off. in the closer track this is the song to say goodbye he brings us electronic noise and beat madness to round things up and create a diverse sounding listening experience

for the first time ever we have 6 previously unreleased boogie, disco and modern soul grooves recorded in the 70s - from the man who gave us the immortal bump & hustle music!

the running back sports team is glad to welcome two new players to its roster. dplay and whiz kid manuel tur (see also his brilliant ribn stuff) have caused a great stir with a bouquet of 12-inches for outfits like zurichs beloved drumpoet community or the compost black label as well as knocking out well-made remixes. for instance, their work on kiloos the passion is just adorable. here we have them melted into one organism called dplay, while mtur moves in silence (or in the production credits, if you please). stretching out on the a-side, huub sand is not only a tribute to two of schalke 04s greatest gentlemen, but a prime-example of cavernous, stoic and infective house those two (no not the schalke guys) had quite an impact on. initially planned to come with a remix by the mighty radio slave (please look at cat-no. 012 to see what became of that), our coach could convince the duo to hand out two rather atypical, nonetheless bloodcurdling tunes instead: tschaka kicks some deep dub disco houz styles of the highest orders with riot-like effects on your mind, body & soul. finally, schroulé is a claustrophobic corker, if we have ever seen one. should be the perfect sound track for padded cells and the up-and-coming remake of mel brooks frankenstein. these ruhrpott kids are alright!

mobilee back to back vol. 3, compiled by miss jools, is inching its way to the release date but before then, active listeners can turn ears to the second exclusive vinyl teaser release with remixes from d julz and christian burkhardt. djulz of ovum, pokerflat and intacto records remixed gummihzs 2007 one-of-kind release and turned it into nothing short of a dance floor phenomenon. of course, nothing less could be expected from a man who has been around the world and back since 1992 playing in the most legendary clubs before the most legendary scensters. d julz certainly has the qualification and experience of what it takes to make a party a paaarty! christian burkhardt of oslo, raum…musik and remote area records took one of anjaschneiders more mellow and somber tunes from her spooky beyond the valley album, which ranked third in the charts of groove magazine, and give it a powerful face lift. the hard baseline and repetitive foot-stomping beat is exactly the kind of techno flair that burkhardt embodies in his music. mobilee back to back vol. 3, to be released march 2, 2009, combines a compilation of tracks and remixes produced by mobilees, remixed by other various artists and then mixed again by miss jools in a two-disc spectacular: cd1 is an unmixed selection of 2008 mobilee tracks, all handpicked by miss jools, while cd2 welcomes a list of her favorite producers to remix their picks of the mobilee pack with an additional miss jools spin. miss jools invited talents from the likes of cassy, tobias., nick curly, dinky, djulz, efdemin, christian burkhardt, vincenzo, sven tasnadi and solomun, extending the musical preference.

already supported by johnny d., someone else, laurent garnier, jennifer cardini, florian meindl, david keno.. erich lesovsky is the newest addition to stil vor talents exciting artist roster. here comes someone who is totally fascinated and absorbed by technology, someone who only performs as a live act in the clubs and - in the time of digital machinery - still works on constructing his own devices to make music with. after singles for wba and keno records, it is now the time for his first release on oliver koletzkis stil vor talent imprint and mr. lesovsky is very happy to be part of the family. so are we, of course! not only, but also because his first ep is a killer display of musical wizardry. it stars off with >bell a donna<, a minimal funk-laden piece of music that is mainly based on some crisp beats, many warm effects and sounds and a melody so simple, yet so encapsulating to capture the heart of every dancer in the club. this is oldskool minimal funk at its best! next up is >93 percent<, a title that might be misleading at first, because this track sounds more like 150 percent really. a great loop made of fidgety techno hi-hats and some wonderful warm analogue sounds - this could well be termed a new form of fidget techno. last up is >riot beatz<, an experimental display of minimal sound design, yet still very danceable. lots of crystal bashing beats, a pumping bass and many little effects - this will definitely be one for the dancefloor in the morning hours. not only does e. lesovsky seem a master of sound, his expertise seems to cover the perfect creation of warm, yet basic tech anthems and his influences seem to come from all sorts of musical directions, from hip-hop to funk to house back to techno. it is the easiness with which he delivers his music that makes his sound designs so special!

part 1 of the new double-release from tiefschwarz aims at the heart of house music: soul. “on&on” is a first-class arranged club track. starting off with a wonderful mellow theme, that is adumbrated by the bass line in an one-and-a-half minute long exposition. the track ups the tempo with an additional hi-hat resolving into a shuffle beat. in double time, we move on towards the first break. here an edgy, minor key-chord sequence is introduced, making it obvious for everyone, that this track is gonna take off. eventually the keys function as a counterpoint to the classic bass line. a four-to-the-floor “on&on” vocal sample takes over after the break, adding another percussive aspect. as the track goes on a mulitiplicity of side elements sets in - no room for tediousness! in the end the “on&on” vocals resolve into “it’s so simple… . who knows, but this could be a broad hint to all the tech-house academics out there. no matter what, this grande finale raises a smile from every last sweaty soul on the dancefloor. with “best inn” on the b-side tiefschwarz create a dance classic, dressed in 2009 fashion. reminiscent of long gone nu-groove times, a traditional house beat - including a tiny off-beat tinker bell - blasts out of the speakers. a slured synth-organ provides the track with that certain edgyness. here, the brothers keep it laid-back yet exciting at the same time. this piece goes on and on and on - and you yourself run alongside, not wanting to pause. but watch out! at the latest in the second break, tiefschwarz put nostalgia to the test via some shockingly muffled metal drums. one of these moments, where you wish yourself back into the middle of an eight-hour deep-house set in 1992. the train departs. one thrillingly beautiful landscape after another runs by, until the warm sun strokes of the south suddenly rouse you out of slumber. arrived

played by: ricardo villalobos, steve bug & matthias tanzmann minimono delights us once again with two new refreshing tracks. >stay away< is a typical minimono track, with playful cartoon-like sounds, the aesthetics of minimal and a housy groove. sounds like fun, huh? in contrast >el guapo< could be interpreted as deephouse, but the snappy beats keep your feet moving while the chord-like sounds make you want to close your eyes and just drift away.

an all time favourite from the vast stay up forever catalogue gets a well deserved revival. aaron liberator and the geezer finest hour together produced the bastard acid techno offspring santa pod at the end of 1999. with high velocity 303s and racing car samples what more could you ask for?

with his new maxi on cocoon, guy gerber, our man for the big emotional moments on the dancefloor, will make our eyes shine bright in christmas anticipation. after releases for his own label supplement facts, the club hits >sea of sand<, >belly dancing< and not to forget, his album debut >late bloomers<, the tel-aviv-based gerber could be found rightly in top positions in many newcomer listings in the past year. 2008 was a little more calm for him, but with >timing<, being just in time for the final, he again sets new standards in linking harmony with a hedonistic state of emergency. while >timing< pleases us like a nocturnal-hypnotic romance in between a disco bassline, >age of love< flair and winterly sleigh bells, >guilty pleasures< takes back this playful love of details to the benefit of a tropical-dense percussive dub, however without appearing less mandatory on the dancefloor. consequently, gerber will be playing together with sven väth at christmas eve in the cocoonclub frankfurt

neo-trance theme !!! angels of kindness are seesawing in their fluffy clouds while eavesdropping the new opus - and yes, one can easily call it an opus - of catekk. dunning the sound creeps up (up from the viennese flex club?) through this mundane labyrinth. muse awakened the apocalyptic riders with its kiss and instead of the twilight of gods you are served subtle grooves, which only admit zeus sharp lightning to pass through the thunderclouds of bass. thunderstorm and labyrinth makes, how could it else be? a markus lange remix, who obviously enjoyed remixing this big theme, while following catekks traces in the wind. whos still missing? yes, newbornchristians must be around, when it comes to remixes with the perfect relation between foolishness and intelligence.

what we have here could easily be the most adventurous idm / electronic 12 inch this year

amazing disco boogie holy grail was released on tim mabins own sapphire imprint back in 1984. because of the fact that tim was forced to work with a limited budget, he only could press up 500 copies, just a few copies were exported out of the country. this became a real crate diggers treasure, changing hands for $100 and more. we are really proud to offer you this official re-issue. jimmy jam is a true dance floor burner. solid lynn drum machine beats, fat grooving minimoog bassline, crazy synth work and amazing vocals make this tune a must have! the instrumental is included too. floorfiller

vrajitoroo. now the frightening thing about our boy razvan aka. vrajitoroo, is that his is only 17 years of age. born and raised in romania, his passion for electronic music first came to light at the age of 11. since then he has followed closely the careers of not only fellow romanians rhadoo and raresh, but a host of other stars of the techno circuit, including the heavy-weights, hawtin, vath, loco dice, carola, luciano and villalobos. the more he listened the more his passion grew, and soon his urge the make music could no longer be ignored, he set on his production journey. the first fruits of his labour are now here for you to check out. sent to lawler, it took him a very short time to decide that he wanted the tracks for viva music, and so, vrajitoroo becomes the latest new artist to join the label.... the three tracks din nou iar, tzushca and mai hai!, represent a new modern take on a classic tribal sound.

hand clappin, foot tappin, knee slappin - mr. a skillz presents the latest hot nugget from finger lickin. happiness is a collaboration with south coast superstar dj, krafty kuts. sunshine sounds that swing a punch at the credit crunch whilst the world slips into recession, money wont bring happiness. could this be the anthem to save us from national meltdown? funky brass stabs, jazzy keys and hand clappin beats make this an instant hit, already proven so at a skillzs sell out shows and championed by radio 1s annie mac. on the flip he has hooked up with beatbox legend beardyman who recently performed in front of al gore alongside wyclef jean and will.i.am at a computer convention in the states. a long night locked in the studio with a case of shandys and the dynamic duo came up with this fun tastic jb inspired groove. all vocal dexterity comes courtesy of one mans mouth and anothers nifty talents on his laptop.

supported by: tom stephan, jerome sydenham, noir, atle, djuma soundsystem, patrick bateman.. we wanted to try something new. to let an outside artist provide the main track. the choice was pretty easy – it could only be danish sensation jack rock. he has been killing the big stages all over northern europe with his technically demanding live-sets. a university background in sound theory and interactive sound design means that his productions of post-minimal techno are brimming with interlacing tones and harmonic elements.

not too late is norah jones highly anticipated third album. made up of 13 songs - all of which were written or co written by norah - the album was produced by lee alexander, norahs long time song writing partner/bass player. the album features distinct traces of dusty in memphis style southern soul, as well as the kind of sleepy, sultry vocals that have been ubiquitous in coffee houses all over the world since the release of her 20+ million selling 2002 debut album, come away with me.

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythings that sounds fine to their ears! for our 11th release , we decided to bring you guys a brand new track from the italo master of all time: the fantastic beppe loda under the name italowerk. honestly, we were not expecting anything, as he did so much for electronic music already for the past 20 years, resident at the legendary typhoon club in italy (brescia), playing a huge amount of electronic underground tracks that are praised today by clubbers & vinyl fetishists, he created also what we called today afro cosmic. we could sum up his new project just by its name italowerk = kraftwerk meets underground italo. the first track is called sognando that we could translate by dreaming. indeed, this is a very powerfull track, that sounds almost like an italo lost gem (circa 1982) but with an incredible modern feeling, full of crazy electro synths, arpeggios and a terrible kick: an athem!

another stunning release from lovebirds and winding road records, and a delicious prelude to the forthcoming lovebirds album on wr. sebastian doerings solo project is becoming big news, and this is another brilliant ep which enhances his reputation even further. its been getting massive props from laurent garnier, jimpster, ian pooley, danny krivit and more. the louder! ep is a 3-tracker with deeply classy underground house and midtempo stormers. the night is a perfect old-school house thumper. louder! is a french-sounding midtempo bomb with analogue synths and bubbling congas. its all yours is a boogie house stunner with all the ingredients you could ever want - trumpets, strings, zingy

after several remixes and longtime waiting our artist h.o.s.h. releases his next own ep. and he is back with a real banger! >the valve< sounds connected to steppenwolf, but feels more like a coninue: more modern, more pushing and more groove. like hell! a balkan- flute plays sometimes, but very harmonic to the track. heebie-jeebie! >super sick bowl< is a fantastic groove, too, but a bit more housy like classic recordings. awesome, never boring housebeat spiced with two cool and sick breaks. this loop could run forever. single words work perfect with the beat and provide a stimulating sexappeal. under a fig tree starts more technoid with the sound, but has still a groovy house for 3 minutes til the break - and out of this break a new sound is evolving. on the one this track continues with a warm bass hook, leaving the technoid sounds behind. what a twist! just beautyfull! thanx hosh

a truly stunning two tracker of tracks that could make you dance as well as cry. this should quite easily crossover to all genres and has mass appeal

another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

classic trip hop album, must have !!!

2003 classic double vinyl album by robsoul head honcho phil weeks!! a must have

sexplosion, the new ep from lenfant terrible of sophisticated techno, seth troxler-here recording under his debauched alter ego sex trothler-is a complex, multifaceted, and yet decidedly horny affair. these are the sounds of doing unspeakable and anonymous things to girls in dark backrooms and being too confident to regret it the next day…the sounds of your favorite sexual memory transformed by your overactive fantasy life into scenes of utter perversion. the first track, jusyour, combines troxlers signature use of the classic, organic sounds of detroit house and techno with an avant-garde, fragmented, almost mournful sensibility. its a contemporary jack track as appropriate for a dark, seedy club as it is for an afterparty orgy on your friends broken futon. its almost as if music could yearn and sweat and think all at once. its followed by a brief vocal internude to remind you that being a good lover always means having enough of a sense of humor to laugh at other people laughing at yourself. think tinkertoys meets the wu-tang clans black shampoo. humor aside, the final track, face, utilizes airy percussion and deep, almost cinematic chords (reminiscent of troxlers remix for another precious youth, nicolaas jar on new yorks wolf+lamb label). its masterful and restrained use of processed vocals manages to leave behind so much of the pointless darkness that has plagued techno, whether minimal or otherwise. it builds slowly yet aggressively, like a hard, focused grind with someone you cant actually even really stand. this is music for people whose time at art school was spent getting naked and not hating themselves for it.
