the legendary club u60311 in frankfurt has opened up a brand-new hotspot for minimal right in the heart of the city, going by the name of 311. paired with this, an affiliated label - dreielf recordings - has also been launched. the residents michael kohlbecker, one part of the saafi brothers, and frankfurts newcomer peter eilmes are releasing the fruits of their cooperation in their home studio, and putting an already-established scene hit onto vinyl with - tabasco. the original of the record impresses with its anthemic character, which may have been due to the fat bass-line and the striking trumpet. despite its monotony, a real jewel for every record case and just the stuff to get happiness dripping from the club ceiling. the remix by alexi delano, on the other hand, is somewhat deeper and more melodic at the same time, but still contains all the ingredients necessary for a proper shot of tabasco. sonic monogamy or fat kick basses make this remix unique. the dominant trumpet and the scraping percussion of the berliner andre crom make this remix an absolute guarantee of ecstasy. tabasco is hot and burns like hell!

stunning debut-album by argy: six new, exclusive collaborations with solomun, the mole, sydenham, dj gregory, maral and bayoga. supported by loco dice, hell, m.a.n.d.y., steve bug, magda, miss kittin, agoria, gummihz, d julz, josh wink, will saul, charles webster, giles smith, jeff samuel, jamie jones, james flavour, karotte etc ...

early support finds favour with laurent garnier, claude von stroke, ralph lawson, mark knight and deep dish&#146,s sharam. it&#146,s been a while since we last heard from mike monday &#150, almost two years, to be exact when he delivered smorgasbord, which won numerous accolades and superlatives in the dance press. lauded as album of the month in i-dj, while dj mag called it a lp we just can&#146,t put down, others jump on board and claim it as a future classic. now signed to san francisco&#146,s om records label, the man who never fails to impress, educate and entertain is back. >the 11 11<&#146,(no, we&#146,re not sure what it means, either) is backed with the equally oddball titled &#145,>hello nest<. regardless, it&#146,s another terrific house offering that pairs dubbed-out beats with techno-tinged melodies to create a modern day jackin&#146,sound. the addition of a driving synth-line only helps this swing, shake&#145,n&#146,rattle in all the right places over a dirty-as-hell bassline. anything but what we&#146,ve come to usually expect from the label, the sund is an equally refreshing break from convention for om, and is taken from the upcoming album, songs without words&#146,by monday

big with dj hell, tomboy, shir khan (radio fritz). terranova recordings (tnt) would like to introduce rampa (from the house of beatgees) - our youngest signing. >grill royal e.p.< - his debut on vinyl is a fine example of what he calls >berlin booty rave<! we first took notice of rampa while pogodancing to his legendary dj sets at berlins number one underground club >picknick< - and when we heard the firing remix he did for jay-z it was decided we wanted him on board!

mop mop is the brainchild of andrea benini, musician, producer, dj who has been active for more than ten years exploring a large variety of musical genres, from club to jazz music... this time he delivers a philly inspired boogie remix of the jazzy original by mop mop, just the right feeling to welcome the summer.

played by: richie hawtin, dj hell, dubfire, monika kruse, onur Özer, gabriel ananda, karotte, italoboyz, dominik eulberg, gregor tresher , chris liebing, d. ramirez, sebastian leger etc... the follow up to >elements 1of 2< starts with >wind<, a strong epic old school monster of an acid track, with a cool chicago flavour, reminiscent of lil louis, with cool ups and downs, that have set the dance floors on fire around the world. >earth< the flipside track is a stripped down mover, quite drugged out and shivering in itself, having a much stronger new school touch to it. it is as bass heavy as we have experienced with all of the releases of butch

chosen few and s aphira team up to produce an extremely explosive bundle of hardcore. - mokum rules!!!

full support by: pete tong (played at radio one), dubfire, miss kittin, namito, daniele davoli, benny benassi, john digweed, martin eyerer, zoo brazil, hector romero, dj hell, stephan bodzin,.

marek bois aka dapayk erschafft auf seinem ersten bois album organische stücke die quietschfidel & mit ungewöhnlichen sounds angereichert sind

killer modern house from depths of deep space. adam marshalls original mix takes swinging chicago drums and paints them a dark black, while chord stabs morph and evolve in a tough, organic style on this 11-minute journey. mike shannons impressive re-working tightens everything up and funks the hell out of the groove with sizzling dry hats, sub-bass ruminations, and one serious breakdown. one of his best remixes yet by far. both are serious club killers

pocketgame is back with a hugh track from the glitz (vmr - white line) and fantastic soultek (echospace, souldubsouds, deep chord...) & nils nilson (ostwind) remixes ... vinyl only release, no digital , no nonsense!! supported by dj hell, dubfire, monoroom, david keno

d passion had some guests over at his studio, and heres the result! the collabs, a special release featuring 4 collaborations of d passion with artists from all around the scene. the first one might be a combination of 2 of the youngest, yet most thriving forces in the harder dance, take the risk is d passion and italian mad dog kicking it with bassdrums, tight melody and sharp vocals. together with promo, d passion sat down and created the last track of the night, a track with a large intensity grade shows their view on how the last 5 minutes of an event could and should sound like. the b-side might be a familiar one to many. last year, d passion and unexist provoked each other to non stop hardcore antics, and the two tracks which resulted from this session might be some of the hardest out there! bring the noise and what the hell are the best examples of how intense the combination of the unexist style and d passions production skills can be.

supported by: miss kittin, dj hell, gabriel ananda , butch.... afu limited sub-label called afulab/afu laboratory !! the first release on afulab is hitting like a bomb with the more than well known kiko from france ! after his releases on datapunk, turbo, pias, gigolo, good life, confused and his own hot banana, he starts the new label with a big bang ! three fatt dancefloor burners that only he could deliver in his own unique style !

dapayk alias marek bois präsentiert uns sein erstes album unter eben diesem deckmantel - die unzähmbaren >boisschen untiefen<. die >boisschen untiefen pt.1< ist nun die erste scheibe aus dem releasezyklus. dieser erste part schwimmt weit über den trüben gewässern der mittelmäßigkeit. toll!!

although berlin based dj woody has long been a member of the gigolo crew, having the honor to play at some legendary gigolo nights, this is woodys first solo release for gigolo. and what a fine entry onto the gigolo-scene it is: sure to get people in the know talking... and dancing! woody is the original sonic funkateer whose life is completely focussed on music and his very own definition of funk. hes a genuine kind of a guy, needing nothing more than two turntables, a mixer and an audience to know hes alive. for him djing and making music is not just a job, its his destiny. just one listen to a track like august and you know how much painstaking attention to detail, and love, has been poured into the production of these tracks. august is a cerebral sounding track that will lift you to another level. a version of august is featured on the double cd 10 years anniversary compilation gigolos cd 10 (gigolo210) selected by gigolo boss hell. booty bar is another pumping and raunchy tune thats guaranteed to get that ass shakin. its and slammin beats and funky, almost jazzy, synths licks plus the sexy vocal samples gives this number a succinctly gigolo feel to it. with songs like this, its no wonder that woody is one of the most respected german djs on the international scene

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard

big support by richie hawtin, ricardo villalobos, paco osuna, marco carola, xpansul, davide squillace... after his summer holidays in miami, damian schwartz has rediscovered his kinky latino side. his new release is a story about futuristic techno, mental and contorted dance music seasoned with a salsa flavour. química afluencia (mupa 006) is the product of the chemistry affecting the brain of an individual for whom the obstacles are unknown, now focusing his talent on a black as night house, bigger and fatter than ever. >1568 drexel av< is a conga battle, full of bitter rhythms and syntethized sounds, friction for best possible dancefloor, the one that is in your brain. *2020 replicates this same adn but in different secuences: tons of sick and nasty grooves that make you sweat like hell. just a few artist have damian schwartzs capacity of going a step further on each one of his releases
