a very tasty ep from 1605 featuring phunk investigation / steve parker / ephrun & anthony pappa

they live in the clubs, eat through their noses and sleep standing up. the cheapers do the same, but the title no groupies and ugly dancers is directed at the mean faced ravers and talkers that lurk in the dark corners of club. the cheapers are sending a message to all those types with this release, upon you 36. they begin by lighting a bonfire on a1, dancing around the fire like crazed polka-shamans, until the final minimal priest has thrown his bible into the embers. next they attack the unwashed go-gos, hobby strippers and ugly dancers on b1. eventually reaching out and apologizing to the shy and quiet real music lovers that like to sway dreamily on b2.

hardvolume records proudly presents the second release on this up and coming hardcore label by stocker & mr. madness!the a-side starts of with break the silence, a soon to be hit in the hardcore scene! break the silence centers around its break for which mr. madness has borrowed >enjoy the silence< by depeche mode and will surely make every hardcore lover worldwide go completely mental! the second track on the a-side is the remix of break the silence by stocker & evolution which is a bit more aggressive and rough than the original. the flipside brings us fight by stocker, a cool industrial track with its dark and rough sounds. finally a poundin industrial remix of stockers bitch by non-other than bartoch (known for his productions on altern-hate & vindicta records) to finish of this ep.

capsula present a new great dark techno ep produced by stefano lotti! two futuristic and pounding tracks and a devastating remix from piatto!

25 rare & essential tracks produced by bunny lee between 1967 and 1968. digitally remastered double vinyl release, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

urgent, throbbing rhythms, which almost imperceptibly increase into a subtle wall of sound: the tracks on todd bodines new ep develop a hypnotic character, stolen away into a dark pulsating sound field which exactly match the title of the a-side: >dark matter<. the increasingly dense electric field mixes with sparse siren sounds that create their own unique attraction. the same qualities infuse >space and stop< on the b-side, with equally unexpected musical power surges. these are tracks that will drag the dance floor abruptly from its spell in the first few seconds, while simultaneously adding a very special drive and intensity. all in all, todd bodine proves again with his new ep - the first release after his highly successful album, >forms< – his unique sense of style, gained over almost ten years of production experience.

sabb has definately become an important player on the electronic music scene over the last couple of years and his talent has now shown he will be around for many years to come.
on this fine piece of music he hooked up with good friend dark beat to create a beautyful piece of music with a quite melancholic undertone to it. this track has dc10 ibiza moments written all over it and will without a doubt get many plays this summer.
mendo delivers yet another high quality mix with his unique sound and clever remix skills. on >ballkanika< he took us by surprise by making a quite uplifting hook from the dark clarinet instrument. once again he showcases his talent for hearing what others dont and making this track an even more summer-ish tune with a hands in the air feel to it.

manuel tur has been making some great music recently, whether it be as one half of the ribn project with partner langenberg, on numerous remixes alongside dplay or solo on a variety of labels such as mild pitch, pokerflat, freerange, mule music, drumpoet and now delusions of grandeur. fianchetto opts for a dark, spaced-out and deeply hypnotic vibe full of warm, subby disco beats, shimmering rhodes and echoing horns. a masterful production from manuel that is loaded with atmosphere and sounds mighty on a big system. next up we have beasts and the birds which goes for a heavy looped up disco approach full of raw detroit sensibilities and attitude. finally, tim toh (much respected and sickeningly young german producer releasing on soulphiction’s philpot label) stretches out beasts and the birds into a 9 minute journey into abstract dance. once again, we’re talking unrefined, no compromise house music here, the likes of which you won’t be hearing on an mos compilation anytime soon

stroboscopic artefacts third release sees label owner lucy and underground trailblazer ercolino, inspired by novelist michael endes imagery, create two visions of a nihilistic future. the 12inch begins with the tale of fear incarnate >gmork<, the most powerful weapon for controlling society. the a-side is a portrait of this terrifying beast: slinking baselines come from its black heartbeat and white noise grows from its unearthly appetites. fat, squelching noises emerge as light, hope and ideas are quashed, ground up and eaten. the sound is viscose, violent and deep seething red. what emerges is a genius slice of dark, brooding techno crafted from the nectar of your darkest nightmare. the story gets even bleaker with b-side >so the nothing grows stronger<, a narrative of blips, bleeps and squeals. this extreme dub techno track is a mutinous call to arms, the sound of the insurgence. here beats forge together, fortified by a devastating charge, till the track crunches away into nothingness
