again the tracks were selected carefully, each of them strong on personality and waiting to burst out and put the willies up anyone who believes that techno can be pigeonholed. cue bjorn svin (of mand over board fame) and a brooding monster of a tune that briefly saw a release on his excellent 1999 lp benene pa nakken and was included on the la monde (aka len fakis) at the wheels of steel mix cd the following year. believe that this track is a killer one of those inspired pieces of techno that sticks in your head for days after hearing it for the first time next up label boss jerome hill lets his bass out in the comedic rel und pol, a dancefloor workout with a syncopated speech running throughout. flip over for rob stow and im going to kill her put simply this is nasty (in a nice way) a riff that tears you a new one and edits and tricks galore, this ones gonna give the speakers a battering! last but certainly not least, switzerlands ki yota from mercurochrome and mental industries steps up to deliver us an apocalyptic anthem with wowwow bass, that swiss percussion and lead riffs all snaking around, finally building to a satisfying climax over and out

the phantom image‘ is a teasing, acid-tweaked club tool, stripped and refined. it burns slowly from both ends and builds in classic style, amounting to an insatiable hypnotic moment, instinctively connecting the mind and body with only one vital message: to move. flip over and you‘ll find two more seriously deviated cuts, in the form of steve bug‘s edit of >the fruit fly<, and vincenzo‘s orginal mix. both mixes raise the intensity from the late night tripping atmospheres of >phantom< and take us straight into the peak time poker flat style. phasing synth stabs and a floorshaking bassline take the track sky high, with vincenzo‘s trademark impeccable production at the centre of it all, ensuring every moment comes through loud and clear. bug‘s edit raises the drama a notch, peaking with a different flavour, whilst the original is a true gem and a classic example of the non-stop power of vincenzo‘s creative output!

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

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

funny a side!! the danish scene has evolved a lot over the last years, with acts like trentemøller, martinez and whomadewho. the new label tartelet records is rising from the horizon of the copenhagen club culture. tartelet records is founded by fredski (the man behind the greatest copenhagen parties ) and tomboy (aka tomas barfod, dj, producer and drummer of whomadewho, with previous releases on turbo, kitsuné , get physical and gomma). the two founders themselves are also behind this first tartelet release, which is a true showcase of what the label stands for: tech-house with multiple flavors like ghetto, funk, disco and a bit world. the a-side ‘do the tartelet’ is a schizophrenic yet effect full combination of sampled horn-madness, hand claps and techno bass. on the flip side ‘cereal’ sounds as if james holden and paul jonson were trying to make minimal house together. the future releases from tartelet promise remixes from world-league remixers (tba) and tracks by danish kleshmer-techno-reggae band analogik do the tartelet

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.

in the year of punk 1977, the jams exploded onto the music scene with this seminal debut album. the raw, unfettered aggression of the bands approach was well in keeping with the spirit of the times, but the heart of their songs and sound lay in the mod movement of the mid 60s. singer/guitarist paul weller comes off like a cross between joe strummer and the young pete townshend, bashing unreservedly through slow down, one of the r&b tunes that inspired the original mods. weller extols the virtues of frenzied dancing and nonconformist youth culture over the raging three chord attack of bassist bruce foxton and drummer rick buckler. the pure punk insouciance of his words and delivery is a perfect match for the raging but hooky arrangements, which basically consisted of the band walking into the studio and blazing through their live set. rickenbacker guitars never sounded so thick, and skinny ties never seemed less geeky.

this selection is based on over two decades of deep dj experiences. the impact of seeing jazz dancer, michael knot of idj, dancing to acid trax by phuture, in the back room of a pub in teddington, produced one of those seminal moments that, gilles maintains, radically changed his view of acid house. it is important to say that this is certainly not a club album as some of the predecessors in this series have been.

off-key limited is a new subsidiary label of off-key industries whose aim is to give exposure to new artists alongside established producers and to bring a wider range of genres with less of a focus on the dancefloor. each release will be strictly limited and will not be repressed. we start by raiding the off-key vaults to unleash a series of releases entitled >the dust off<, featuring material written in the off-key studio over the years by matt o brien and various collaborators and associates. matt kicks off the ep with >a new page turns<, a bangin dubby detroit techhouse cut driven by a low slung rhythm and analog stabs dripping in reverb, overlayed with a melodica riff which calls to mind the smokey refrains of augustus pablo. next up is >untitled< by newcomer mat gates, a beatless slice of electronica whose understated melodies conjure up thoughts of late summer evenings of times gone by. on the flip, o brien and gates combine under the artist name kimble to bring you >epiphany<, led by a shimmering melody underpinned with haunting strings which combine to form an electro track of rare beauty. this diverse ep is completed with mat gates second contribution, >in a hole<, a drum n bass track with a disjointed, skeletal rhythm, sub bass drops and fragile, melancholy melody.
