!!!!!!strictly limited to 500 copies!!!!!! together with stefan goldmanns debut cd the transitory state, macro releases a strictly limited box set containing five 7? records holding the electroacoustic album voices of the dead. with his releases for innervisions, perlon and macro stefan goldmann has been a key figure at the cutting edge of post minimal techno and the renewal of house music. this album is a distinctively different affair though, reaching far beyond the scope of dancefloor electronics. starting a trilogy of concept albums, stefan goldmann searches for the common root of all music in an electroacoustic setting. from this album turret is already renowned as the intro sequence of richie hawtins groundbreaking de9 transitions mix compilation and was also commissioned by the biblioteque nationale de france for the imeb phonoteque public collection. the artist explains: at first sight we recognise upfront elements like a melody or rhythmic pattern, which we associate with a certain piece or style of music, but there is tension between two notes, hard-to-define background information that at a closer look is found everywhere - within the music of coltrane and stravinsky, death metal and 9th century byzantine chants. if there is anything like a total, secret common ground, than its this information lurking in the background. these are the voices of the dead, the heritage of an endless line of ancestors brought forward through the centuries. i tried to make these elements audible as clearly as possible. really like this weird space ambient one. ive put katorga and izo already into my final scratch computer and have been playing them! (richie hawtin on voices of the dead) record release event at berghain / panorama bar berlin on september 4th, 2008, feat. ricardo villalobos, mika vainio (pan sonic) and ulrich schnauss (tbc).

huge classics !! ltd backstock.. incl >confession< and >is it really me?<

rmxs by peter horrevorts and budai & vic , plastic city brings you two absolutely hot remixes of >flicking pages<, the track from the timewriter album >soulstickers<, and one new track that doesnt appear on the album. the man who had his first plastic city release in 1996, and his very first record >soul freak music< out on the plastic city sub-label suburbia in 1995, gave his track into very good hands. now its your turn to decide whether they got it or not, but were sure youll rock the place with these tracks. so put the needle on the record…

the original track is a sweet poppy bombastic disco-tune with lots of strings brass and vocal. bogdan irkuk & ultracity have created three remixes in total which katapults the song into cosmos and ads that epic electronic disco flavour to it with loads of nice synth pads, solo apreggio breaks vocoders and spaced out leads.

superb reissue of ron trent s all-time deep techno classic altered states. made when he was still school-age, and released in 1990 on armandos seminal warehouse label, this record was an immediate underground club hit, turning ron into a local hero, kickstarting his hugely successful production and djing career and making him probably the only chicago house producer to rate one of the best techno singles of all time! this classic acid workout is stunning in its simplicity and has been described as one of the most perfect and moving tracks ever heard. the other tracks are also very beautiful in their own right despite having been overshadowed by the epic altered states - the afterlife was included on dj hells x-mix-5. all tracks digitally remastered for superb sound quality

the chaps at off-key hq have been busy digging out the old dat tapes from their attic and sorting out the wheat from the chaff. for this release they go way back to bring you four more tracks courtesy of kimble, a collaboration between matt o brien and matt gates (aka minor planets). kicking things off is the beatless sketch of >lycius<, spiky alien synths flicker and pierce through detached ethereal pads moving in the surrounding weightless space. next up is the ep s lynchpin track, >state of shock<. proper techno is the order of the day here, this is an authentic old school minimal track first recorded in 1996 but left gathering dust ever since. immerse yourself in the subtle dub inflected melodies swirling in your womb bubble while the slamming rhythm track provides the heartbeat. over on the flip we chill things out with the haunting strings and aquatic bassline of >amb<, providing a delicate counterpoint to the upfront style of the a side. the ep is completed with a stunning remix of >state of shock< by minor planets, who layer on a towering bassline and transform the original into a laid back dub workout.

with already massive support from jocks like technasia, valetino kanzyani, mauro picotto, james kameran and many more chris liebing is starting a new label called spinclub recordings. the first release is by spinclub resident dj emerson, already known for his releases on kiddaz fm and microfon. on this first ep on scr, dj emerson features his familiar dry techno. to the efficiently and solidly working cut the crap on the a-side, he opposes with the spectacular mr. nice on the b-side. mr nice starts off in a restrained way. in the break you could almost think it would lose itself in an ocean of delay, if, yeah if not suddenly this striking bassline would emerge. it starts rolling, turning the track around 180 degrees, transforming it into a rampaging peaktime monster. for the one who wants to put an exclamation mark in his set, voila

jerome sydenhams mighty dub remix of hideo kobayashis >the puzzle< is simple energetic and very efficient track. ablaze with stabs and a funky beat it does nothing less than thrown you into a state of tech-house frenzy. jerome sydenham dons his techno hat to express his interpretation of the heart of darkness in >congo<. big kicks, punchy bass lines and a deep house hook make >congo< not only fresh in sydenhams production approach but also very accessible to all those who are tech inclined

played by sebo k, karotte... layo and bushwacka! are equally at home turning out summery housey affairs as they are peak time stormers, and >now is the time / the time was then definitely fits into the latter category. a double header, the loose concept behind the release is to represent the sound of the dancefloor now versus the sound from a few years ago. >now is the time< has its feet placed firmly in 2008 - a crisp, clean techno bassline, topped by hand claps, snatches of breathy female vocal, and full of an irresistible array rattles, whooshes and other indefinable sounds that the duo seem to pull from the depths of their imaginations. it breaks with some simple electronic sounding chords and a stirring martin luther king sample that makes this record so memorable. >the time was then< is based around that same sample, but gives a cheeky nod to a few years back, with a bassline and keys that wouldnt have sounded out of place on their seminal ‘night works’ album. it never goes too far towards nostalgia, though, and either would rip up a late night dancefloor

medias have stated recently that the number of millionaires is still rising every year... funny or scandalous? while others are sitting greedily on their fortune, one of them, kind of musically obsessed to say the least, keep to share his assets with the lucky few that will hold a part of his twelve inches serie in their hand. still getting another round of applause for the third offering that impressed quality djs from all circles (from milez benjiman to marc mac, passing by prins thomas to chateau flight), the selfmade millionaire is gaining more supporters release after release. this time, he is tributing the greatest boxer of all time and his legendary shuffle techniques in a funky boogie way with nearly 8 minutes of irresistible feelgood grooviness. many things have been said about this highly influential character, but few know that his boxing moves would have originated some freestylin’ breakdance figures. one more reason why the milionaire wanted to encourage you to do the ali...wait to flip the record to get another punch! even gave you diamonds is a restless groove that could transform an egyptian mummy into a marathon party goer with its numerous hooks, clavinet stabs and powerful catchy vocals. the tune seems to be about a guy whos really tired of his posh lady who cannot get enough of all her fancy gimmicks. would our milionaire gone autobiographical on this one? who knows...

fresh from his recent with railyard, poker flat, moon harbour, dessous & compost, new zealand’s simon flower offers his first solo production for the railyard roster. from soulful deep house fusion to moody detroit electro, the sum of us ep is a diverse look into the dynamic range of the most in demand kiwi producer.

the new rude awakening album! devoloping a unique dark crossover sound which links to industrial as much as it does to techno and breaks

tema 5 is the definitive journey into its world made of electronic funk & soul, or as they call it in detroit hi-tech funk

energie in bestform is glad to release the producer and dj tobias lützenkirchen. actually well known with admirable releases on labels like great stuff, blu fin, selected works and his own label platform b. the main track is called >afterhour is the pusher< and will - we guarantee that - not only >push< in the afterhour .... the bonus track >ketron< will turn every dance club - with its forward-pressing bass rhythms - into a tropical drum jungle. the two >afterhour is the pusher< remixes of flea and baby chris complete the record!

second solo album by mario pierro (aka raiders of the lost arp) of jollymusic / mat101 fame. tema5 is the definitive journey into its world made of electronic funk & soul, or as they call it in detroit hi-tech funk.

we are very proud to present the debut of 21 year old tim toh, a fresh producer with such a huge talent and character in his tracks, we guess, we didn t hear for the last decade in house music! that s a big goal to claim, but it s also the reason, we signed him for a three-part series called >join the resistance< and this is part 1. the a-side is like an intro to the whole series, starting with some charming detroitish-sequences and a smooth piano, while the beat shapes itself naturally out of the track with raw percussions and a thumpin kick... from then on it twists and turns into sweet eternity…timeless! the b-side is beatdown rhythmic wizzadry and a tool par excellance, polyrhythmic percussions and a beat that will shake every floor you dare to play it

songs from the source is a lost and found 1973 recording of the source family. these twelve songs were recorded live in the hollywood hills as a rehearsal for a concert date that spirit of 76 - aka yahowah 13, the savage sons of yahowa, yodship, and firewaterair, now known as children of the sixth root race - had at the whisky. a 1/4 tape copy of the recording was found in chicago in 2006, though no one is really sure how it got there. djin aquarian, rhythm guitarist and songwriter for spirit of 76, recalls being sent on a mission to chicago later in 1973, where he believes he left the tape with an old friend. djin wrote most of the songs in the year before he joined with the source, as part of his solo mystical quest to help enlighten the world before it might annihilate itself, adding, im glad both the album and the world are still here.though this rehearsal wasnt meant to be released at the time, there are probably no other recordings as complete of the band doing these songs. the spirit of 76 had a different sound than the one yahowah 13 made with yahowa. songs from the source has more r n b grooved energy, with splashes of synth and organ, a female vocal chorus and streamlined fusion rhythms backing the uniquely yahowan lyrical populism of songs like godmen and lost dead but hoping. songs from the source is a miraculous missing piece of the sources positive musical movement. the members of yahowah 13 (djin, sunflower on bass, octavius on drums) were joined by family members ahom, aquariana, cinderella, rhythm, vibration, and zoroaster on lead guitar, to create the ecstatic sound of spirit of 76.

already in the box of ripperton, loco dice, james what, solumun, someone else, pheek, mark august.. with >the games e.p.< daniela stickroth finally delivers a fantastic follow up to >stories from the attic< ... the approach found on the attic, gets its logical continuation on the games ep, which leads us from up under the roof straight down into the brush of a mysterious forest, with moonlit clearings, trails and sweeping turns

mojuba is very proud to present the sublabel called wandering! the first release is a real underground minimal house banger by london residents jc freaks (anthea from phonica and werner niedermeier aka notenshun). the groove will catch you right away and the vocals will do the rest. fresh but classic at the same time! the flip side comes along with a remix by mojubas oracy, who focuses on the rhythmic essentials of the original and turns it into a hot minimal funk groover! please welcome mojubas new baby

side a:raging drum set accompanied by bouncy percussion line rolling along with one of the most roaring basses of the season. side b:same unique bass with tighter dryer drum set ending up in a classic 90ies organ stab evolving from the break exploding into a perfect prime time theme

the deathset go international jetset on your ass with a spanking new ep that balances niceness and nastiness like only they know how. fresh from bringing joy, madness and foolishness to europes gig venues, the deathset burst out with around the world, the next stop on their worldwide escapade. featuring two tracks not heard on the upcoming full length (paranoia and boys than girls), plus killer remixes from etan and bonde do role, this is an absolute must for anyone who understands the value of going fucking nuts. around the world is a dance floor anthem to take on the planet to. bostonian scene shaker etan takes impossible and turns it into the most glorious, life affirming, hands in the air high. paranoia is like being stuck on a whirligig eating candyfloss powdered with speed. boys than girls is the sound of the wildest gig you ve never been to. bonde do role round things out by turning the death set into the baile beasties. a good look.

mellow madness would have likely lingered on in obscurity had it not been for kay dee partner dj keb darge, who in 2004 introduced the fayetteville, nc groups sole 45 to a new audience. titled save the youth, its inspirational message and pounding yet polished disco had fresh appeal on dance floors of the new millennium. kenny dope breathes new fresh air into the tune with his extended 12inch mix.

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!

mysterious new label concentrating on the finest intergalactic techfunk. johannes volk is a pretty new name to many.. however his first record “the mysteries of tharsis montes” was released on jeff mill’s axis a while ago… now he steps into public again with this lifeworld record. volk enters the delicate world of futuristic techno and combines it with earthly acoustic elements. johannes is producing music in the best tradition of jeff mills and robert hood, but he managed to put his own fingerprint on it. a dazzling deep & funking techno release for peak time play.

>uno< has a much more fluid house sound than past electric press productions, which should fit in nicely with djs who are into moon harbour, joris voorn and early 2000 & one productions

classic prodigy album! repress on double vinyl.

first 500 limited edition on red transparent vinyl! we are very proud to present the debut of 21 year old tim toh, a fresh producer with such a huge talent and character in his tracks, we guess, we didn t hear for the last decade in house music! that s a big goal to claim, but it s also the reason, we signed him for a three-part series called >join the resistance< and this is part 1. the a-side is like an intro to the whole series, starting with some charming detroitish-sequences and a smooth piano, while the beat shapes itself naturally out of the track with raw percussions and a thumpin kick... from then on it twists and turns into sweet eternity…timeless! the b-side is beatdown rhythmic wizzadry and a tool par excellance, polyrhythmic percussions and a beat that will shake every floor you dare to play it

hector moralez forms another formidable partnership with jump recordings dj jaz. coming from the west side offers 2 top notch original cuts and kicks off with a bang on a1. drive slow combines smooth female vocals with organic keys to create a deep twisted house groover. summer windy is a peak time affair that uses live sax loops and sleek beats and arrives just in time for the start of those hot summer months. hudd traxx label bosses slum science pick the pace up on the b side with a remix that would fit in well into sets of jocks like inland knights, dj heather, ralph lawson, chris carrier & dj raoul. the slumsters work out tough beats with clever stabs,...

the jon dasilva/virgo hifi mix is a twisted broken beat electro affair, while sinichi osawa turns the track into a massive banging electrotech monster!!!

supported by alex attias (planet e), italoboyz, karotte, sebo k, raresh, d julz, funk d void. michael melchner is barely at the beginning of his twenties. at the moment deep house of the late nineties has to take a shine to him. in the detail it gets clear, that this is not only a copy of an epoch, but a certain vibe, which is going to be transferred into the present. this vibe with his warm sound, the well dosed house beats and a strong musical sense is hearable, but this sounds by no means antiquated. on a-side several instruments like percussions, xylophone and samples of an mexican trumpet make sure that there isn’t only an exiting variety shortly before or after the primetime, but also a proper portion of itchy feet. with the both tracks on the flip-side the whole spectrum of michael melchner becomes clear, at the one hand a clear view on the dance floor with classical house beats and on the other hand a musical character, which one misses in many current productions. >chen chen< is slightly more co plicated and more rhythmic whilst >nothing happened< is a pleasing leaned back dramaturgical subtle house piece with a distinctive bass line and interspersed voice samples.

incl supergroovin touane remix !! the fourth release onthis supercool italy label is one by criss aka the rain. a very surprising release in a very positive way! minimal with a darker vibe into in and a irresistable swing that can t be missed.

energie in bestform is glad to release the producer and dj tobias lützenkirchen. actually well known with admirable releases on labels like great stuff, blu fin, selected works and his own label platform b. the main track is called >afterhour is the pusher< and will - we guarantee that - not only >push< in the afterhour .... the bonus track >ketron< will turn every dance club - with its forward-pressing bass rhythms - into a tropical drum jungle. the two >afterhour is the pusher< remixes of flea and baby chris complete the record!

big release for the label. chart topping eric prydz is taking the 1994 techno classic into 2008 most efficiently of course ! tip

jon gurd is back on a solo project, with the usual jon gurd style of using old school rave sounds with a tech and groovy combination that works well on the cooler dancefloors. tom neville - really good stuff. im playing both tracks but grass rots is probably my favourite. thanks slam! co / orde meikle: grass roots – very glichisco – quite intense, the chimes – love the groove – old skool stabs are nice kos: i am really into the chimes record. solid track and i love the old skool riff. definitely gonna play. james talk: the chimes is class mate, big room action

incl argy remix !! tokyo s rising star ryo murakami has already put his diverse, electronic sound on the map with the >rise< ep on dessous last year, and received great praise for his track >my soul<, snapped up by steve bug for the fabric mix series, which was piled high with atmosphere and dark, club energy. his next 12 includes two new tracks, the title cut being >down the sky<, cooly influenced by old school house, but also more recent european forays into night music. ryo demonstrates a heavy aptitude for stripped down futurism, with staccato, jilted beats, joined by layers of padded synth structures, looming somewhere between light and darkness. the b side, ‚coke‘ (no questions asked) welcomes another one of ryo‘s extended journeys, this time a stronger, peak time groove which never lets off, and builds around layers of spaced out, pitching fx. brain-tingling pitching synths heat things up, before laying down a super-funk hook that melts on top of the beats irresistibly. ryo then leads us head-first into a series of spac d out, jacked-up movements, characterised by risque, feminine vocal snippets. poker flat‘s young greek maestro, argy, creates a stunning hi-tech remix of ‚down the sky,‘ complete with mesmeric dub influenced chord stabs and tripped out washes of delay. once again carrying on the vibe of the original, but twisting it into an altogether different beast, argy takes ryo‘s warm synth stabs and shapes the remix into a slow paced yet pumping club tool.

roog and greg are proud to present baggi begovic & soul conspiracy feat caprice so into you. this r&g electronics release has massive potential, the peter gelderblom remix is already signed to the defected miami compilation, surely the first of many such license requests.

the monkey brings you the pure electro jungle into your city, includes bart b more remix!!!

homewreckers - close your eyes til the morning the amazing success of their last release >its about time< challenged the homewreckers to push their sound a little further out. >close your eyes til the morning< is hardcore groove with a great, burning synth bass that funks along until new york singer dennis legree brings some excitement to the proceedings with his tremendous voice. its pure underground deep house - intense, abstract and dramatic. no wonder that felix da housecat and marshall jefferson supported those guys when they were teenagers! a vital alternative to the melodic clichés and rhythmic orthodoxy of the electronic music mainstream. langenbergs remix gets the b-side under way. backed up by a strong beat it rolls steadily ahead with unflagging propulsion. next up is >hot hot hot<, an exciting up-tempo number which gives kemo another opportunity to show his lyrical feeling while >smile< slows down the pace easing into a down-home hip-hop affair. this is the second of four records representing the vinyl collectors edition of the homewreckers forthcoming album >american ruhr<

dark, atmospheric electro/electro break & techfunk. grinding basslines and an electronic atmosphere aiming straight into the brain of the advanced dancers. raveline breal record of the month!!

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.

neo filigrantes new record in a slightly different outfit - vinyl in vinyl bags. this bag may also be used for other purposes as intended by many aesthetics aware djs or deejanes, whereby the records will lose their warming covers. not only will the design, but the sound aesthetics will be giving this release its individuality. on this 7 inch, two tracks are pressed with a somewhat spacey theme drive into moon morning and Étoile filante. both songs radiate trickily, a sort of melancholic mood from which will however, unfold its enchanting effect in different situations.

diamond series volume 2 has two a sides classics reworked into 2008 killers by two of d&bs leading dancefloor producers. twisted individual skanks out tear the roof off with bassline carnage and a bouncing funk groove. from the 36th chamber dj vapour remixes tabletop adding his unmistakable bass grime and deep textures.
