nico bietet romantischen tech-house für den geplegten engtanz am wochenende. einzelkind haben mit kuscheln nichts im sinn und zeigen uns kultivierten rave im alten europa

monster!! the a side of this new drumcode 2 tracker produced by belgian artist ortin cam could possibly become the biggest harder techno record of the year. it is simply twisted in the way that it builds towards a massive mid break point, continues to build in intensity and then a gut wrenching rave hook comes from nowhere to blow you away. this then warps and pitches up until the drop back when crowd responses that weve witnessed have been nothing short of demented

neu rave manifesto from australia! incl. rmxs by spruce lee & kato , knife machine, waxmaster .. its that time again... is what james said to me on the 7th of oct. time to write the jargon for our next bang gang 12 inches release mr icecream by the soft tigers. ok. lets get to it. they are a band from *canberra (*canberra is aboriginal for meeting place) they are young (please dont think operator please) think late high school early uni or first job freedom type young. ummmm.

raw & dirty bleep tech house by the supposed mentally okay donk boys ! somewhere between dancemania & daniel bell, the crazy guys bring back the fun on the dancefloor with 4 freaky tracks full of extatic bleeps, nasty hihats, processed voices & a phat killer groove. earlier support comes from dachshund, markus kafka, mike shannon

cool atmospheric breaks 2 tracker. a side based on the paul van dyk classic mashed up with deliriums silence. flip for another classic rave mashup breaker.

new rave infected uk techno tunes by dave the drummer

banging dirty acid cuts on this very coloured limited picture vinyl

well, ive known markus for a while and hes a damn good producer. hes been here for a while now and has been releasing on labels like maw, raw fusion, sonar kollektiv or deeply rooted to name a few. his music is always elegant and his production has an edge. lately he lets his early rave and techno influences shine through. for remixing, we got lucky to have >redshape<. hes definitely one of the most interesting producers at the moment and has understood detroit techno and house much better than anyone right now. both mixes are lo-fi and dirty, with a proper sexy groove. needless to talk too much about it: if you like real house and techno just.. .

tribal proggy tunes with a ragga-beats infected aside & a more rave influenced flip

deadset return to front room with two dance floor smashes that offer up a taste of what is to come from the forthcoming album >keys open doors<. the duo formally known as cass and mangan are now focused on the deadset project and serving up devastating results.earlier in the year there first single >keep quiet< was played out and had rave reviews from the likes of derrick carter , chris duckenfield and ralph lawson to name but a few.

similar to naughty filthy mouthed teenagers – >homecoming< off the new single, is full of foul innuendoes and lyrics that would make serge gainsbourg blush. with its nonchalant and biting humour, >homecoming< is a 21st century >summer loving< set to a sleazy lo fi french pop backround , a wash with guitar hooks and soaring electro synth riffs. now released on kitsuné , the label that helped launch the careers of klaxons and crystal castles, the teenagers homecoming is set to be huge in clubs too. thanks to the monster it became under guns n bombs remix work : already a club hit from both sides of the atlantic. the parisian vibe is added by the young producers gentlemen drivers and nyc is bringing its filthy prog house vibe through passions synths

producer holger behn aka h.o.s.h. is back on stil vor talent with his third release and second 12 inch on oliver koletzkis imprint. his latest two tracks are all about house music, while always keeping a strict eye on the dancefloor. it starts with the tech-house anthem >grünanlage<, the name of a sunday afternoon open air in h.o.s.h.s hometown hamburg that he co-organises. the tune features a great clappy snare and some wonderful balearic guitar melodies, which swing over the fast loop. this tune is going to put a smile on your face wherever you are. on the flip there is >blaupause<, which translates as blueprint and is a dreamy housy pusher that keeps grooving with its synthie-stabs and warm bassline. later in the track h.o.s.h. adds an oldschool piano that pushes the track into another state with its drifting melody. it reminds us of so very many great rave moments. however, h.o.s.h. never gives in to the temptation of drifting off into cheese, stays cool at any given moment and keeps the seal of quality for his music very high. >blaupause< is a wonderful summery teaser that never explodes, but keeps imploding! h.o.s.h. once again does what he does best: delivering two wonderfully melodic tracks that fluctuate perfectly between house and techno. just the way we like it

the australian hipster label returns with full force! neu rave action time with like woha! + killer remixes by whitenoise & knightlife ! put on your crinkle ankle siena miller/katemoss drain pipe jeans and bang your gang!!

this early 90s mega classic is back available. now, after years of being unavailable, we are happy to unleash it again, this time with additional remixes by no other than ben long, dj ze mig.l and of course mr casseau himself.

>de puta madre< is a minimal monster with an unbelievable mix of classic detroit drums with dirty hihat-figures but tons of with rave-appeal when it comes to the main sound. d.digglers remix takes the basics of the original version to make it more weird and screwdriven -sheer madness

shay raban & oleg slepak lernten sich tatsächlich auf einem wüsten-rave in colorado kennen. Ähnlich abstrus hört sich ihre musik an. minimaler techno voller zischender & flirrender soundschnipsel. besser mal in deckung gehen

breaks re-edit of the classic praga khan rave hit !!

incl fusiphorm remix !! played by loco dice, alex under, 2000 and one, martinez, matt star & billy dalessandro !! one of the most played tracks during this season in ibiza (dc 10, cocoon, monza). miguel sar aka tadeo is one of the most important artists of the spanish electronic scene. his productions for apnea, cmyk musik and cyclical tracks (this label managed by himself), have been all the rave throughout the world.

zasous is a slamming electrotech track with a nice oldschool rave touch. flip for the minimal grooving machine and the ambient number in from the cold

danny and sa manage to merge techno & minimal sounds into a perfect blend! the result is a minimal, pumping melodic track ready to knock you off you feet. on the b-side a more rave-ish track that reminds of the early days

the cadenza boys in full effect! andomat 3000 & jans first offering for morris audio is a 2-track monster. >emovere< is a dubby peak time track, combining fat rhythms, catchy melodies and great breakdowns, and even manages to keep a deep edge! its the perfect openair track, the perfect rave track, the perfect club track! check the flip for another superb piece of music. >microemotion<, a loopy workout with a sexy bassline for the freakier moments of a set!

luke viberts second album on planet mu brings together many strands of his work, drum and bass, trip-hop, breaks and acid. the album hangs together with the strands of acid, breakbeats, techno and disco at its heart, the reassuring hand of an old master triumphs again

yes! format b are finally back with their second release on stil vor talent. after massive tracks on opposum and highgrade rec, their newest ep on stil vor talent is another huge minimal monster. kongo time is typical for the two berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum n bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. its definitely going to make you trip out for sure! on the flip its the funky mondo time that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. a huge organic subbass and some chopped-up vocal sample add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4:00 you really won t be able to hold your feet still. format b are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!

this is the post-nu-rave anthem !

peter has already graced numerous labels with his unique yet constantly evolving studio style. after numerous afterhour situations with the doc family, we caught wind of grummichs new productions. we believe that the therapy ep continues the development of peters uncompromising underground productions. the title track, therapy, is a nine-minute journey into dancefloor dynamics. slowly building with concentrated breaks, therapy works it out and then some. label boss, aaron hedges, has been giving it heavy dj support and has found that its been quite some time since well placed hat crashes can drive an audience crazy. minimal, sexy and sleek, but at 7 minutes the listener is surprised with a full on new-rave lead which takes the song in a different direction. get it is a nice tech-house track with building percussive patterns and highly concentrated synth breakdowns. this track is only for the most sophisticated house djs that know when to drop a track like this. drymilk is a seriously twisted hard minimal track. nasty sound effects and perplexing pitch shifts will keep you guessing. is it genius or insanity? you be the judge!

tresor klassiker aus dem jahr 2002 , knallfett und zeitlos --> wieder da!!

kube 72 brings here the good old rave techno back.. supported by carl cox !!

this is a fresh & rockin kompass musik release, presenting music from the hamburg-city boy denis karimani aka remute! after lonely and quiet years of experimenting and self-discovery he released his first 12inch called >hypnoconsole< on zombie nations label dekathlon records and got remixed by munich-techno-hero richard bartz.the first livegigs followed directly and led him into smoky rave-basements, uproarious clubs, sunny open-airs, as well as shaky party-boats...due to excessive and unresting music-making, denis released lots of 12 s and made several remixes in the following years. he released records on fine labels like traum/trapez/mbf, areal , dial, num, smallville or liebe*detail, made remixes for artists like dominik eulberg, move d or station17 and released his first album >remute< on ladomat. his regular appearance in magazine polls for best live act of the year proves that this is not just theory. now, we proudly welcome this jack-of-all-trades to our yet small but nice label family at kompass musik. he contributes a bodacious three tracker, jam-packed with dirty and pushing club tracks. >slam with the face< on the a-side brings us into some rough, gruffy and exciting soundscapes, the b-side holds two more fantastic proves of remutes far-reaching talent. >cause he likes it<, a pretty deep piece of techno and >propellersweat<, a reduced but heavily effective monster track in the end rave on.!

energetic breaks with rave stabs & female vocal snips

after a successful label launch with eps by tigerskin and spektre heimatmelodie now presents an all new artist, alfredo clonk. and this guy is one to watch as he has a completely original sound aesthetic, something which you can say of only very few artists. the a-side >doppelkorn< (a german high percent alcoholic drink) is a primetime mixture of driving 909 beats, whissping snaredrums and groovy sequences which spontaneously bring the slogan >rave is back!< to your mind. a bit deeper appears b1, >back to bombay<, a dark bass-synth on a techy percussion basement puts the dancers into a relaxed groove

massive electrofied and melodic techhouse monster by dada life (pickadoll)

rmxs by etienne de crecy & proxy – essential 12inch !! …new single called tenderoni......i love the song. makes me dance. killer bassline, serious groove. groove. funk. groove. yeah! its my second fave on the album. mixed by zdar. its a funk bomb. theres that word again. we needed remixes and we spent so much time on it....oh man, its soooo annoying! why isnt there just a machine you can drop the track into and it comes out with remixes.i should list all the people that almost did remixes..... we got proxy to remix it, cuz hes russian and on turbo, and hes the future,and it was a great way to hype him up and save some cash.....but that does not mean that the mix is a compromise... in fact it is my favorite remix in ages....total rave-pop-bomb. i love it so much.... but maybe it could have been louder. i also think this is proxys first ever remix....a piece of legitimate musical history can be yours for under 10euros

rmxs by joachim spieth & matzak big with: pascal feos, karotte, patrick chardronnet,.. + dcc bullets !! with the 10th release, paso is celebrating a small jubilee. therefore we are very proud to announce 2 new artists: maxime dangles, known from >k2< and >kompakt< is responsible for the original of >strawberry<. neotrance at its best!! responsible for the first remix was the french matzak, who recently released an album and some much talked about singles on >boxer rec<! starting mellow, the matzak >strawberry remix< expands to a fully rave grenade. once after the break, when the clap lashes round your ears, party is guaranteed on the dancefloor...

the long a-side is reserved for bülent gürler and his project bee-low. >the hidden noise< is a neo-detroit-screw of the plus 8-hawtin school in a very popular plank of the minimal-rave. a track like evolution. antonelli digs, as >random aficionado<, a handful of melodies deep under a rave that is hardly recognizable as such one. he removed the snare completely in favor of a more effective feeling of the song. that s the way deep-house should sound and the way you always imagined it. no frowst, no references, just clear warm water. martin hirsch, alias deer, lived in devon (uk) for a long time and was an immediate neighbor of lee norris, also known as norken or metamatics. recently, the two of them have revived the connaisseur label neo ouija and that will surely do good for the cultural environment. and they have decided to start a long-ranging cooperation in terms of producing records. an outcome is >beyond the breeze<, a piece of house music whose title couldn t be more precise... sasse, giles smith, jeff milligan, laurent garnier

the a-side, >slap back< is a peak time, funk packed rave destroyer with all the right moves. shuffled grooves, doubled kick drums, slick edits and a monster hook equals a prime time bomb. tried tested and true, this cut is sure to raise the roof. >fridge funk< takes things slightly deeper on the b-side but follows suit to >slap back<. in its ability to peak and burn a dancefloor. layers of swinging percussion build up to a deep melody that breathes and filters up to the essence of funk, purely expressed in the monster bassline. to cut it short, this selection is simply massive and is sure to be part of your soundtrack to many a summer night sessions . dj support by tom clark, jeff milligan, laurent garnier

body shaper at a1, is a hands-up-techhouse-rave anthem produced by nico grubert. a2 comes along with a body shaper remix by david keno, the upcoming artist from berlin, with his very successful label keno- records. b1 by nico grubert is more influenced by techno-sounds and goes straight forward. fresh, minimal sounds, flavoured with melodies and really good vibes

alejandro mosso, aka funzion, was born in mendoza, argentina in 1983. a student of guitar and music theory since he was 14, he started his solo minimal house/techno project >funzion< in 2003. his aim is to combine the production techniques of idm and clicks and cuts with the rhythmicalbforms of techno and microhouse. the result thus far has been a tricky, warm and energetic sound that has caught the attention of highly regarded labels such as telegraph, sushitech, and now alphahouse. funzions >stelle< ep consists of two warm, intricate, and percussive club stompers that showcase his grasp on complex rhythms and playful melodies. >random kisses< is a moody vocal excursion into the mountains of your imagination. a meandering track that suits open air parties as well as it does big dark discos, this is a spring season hit. >random love< starts out as a charming shuffley ballad, only to subtly morph into a looming synth rave monster, all the while keeping its playful and hypnotizing grip on the dancefloor. bomb alert!

supported by laurent garnier, mike monday, miss kittin, tiga… right after the tremendous debut release by paul panzer, here comes the second slammer on the new born label called knall. the cryptic rod todd keeps it minimal on his>its dangerous< release. super-functional micro tech patterns underneath insane licks and vocal snips make the title track a truly paranoid minimal rave-journey. dangerous indeed. the b-side brings in some serious mad-max afterhour vibes. driving & repetitive, deep & disturbing… not only for the berliners
