back in 1993 munichs into somethin crew started a clubnight entitled maiden voyage. the idea behind it was simple while the successful weekly into somethin sessions set up by michael reinboth, florian keller and theo thoennessen in 1989 kept on providing a take on the current state of dancemusic from a jazz djs point of view the guys wanted to etablish another night dedicated strictly to the classics. jazz, soul, brasil, boogie and disco have been on the musical menu at maiden voyage ever since. michael reinboth and florian keller still love to play a set at maiden voyage every now and then but both guys left the ships bridge to concentrate on their variety of other projects in the late 90s. theo and rainer were joined by roland appel of fauna flash, trüby trio and voom:voom fame instead to form the infamous threepiece that kept on keeping on ever since

dj support: karotte, josh wink, john selway, jeff samuel, chloe, laurent garnier, sebastien leger, sian (pokerflat), simon baker (infant).... just as klaus kinski once saw the jungle, minilogue see their sound as a multifaceted and highly fecund place whose nevertheless existing and complex matrix does not show itself in any apparent order. two new tracks on wir make their way through tight, slippy and steeply ascending paths, working to see the daylight in the befogged territory of the peruvian rain forest, or they ride on rapid amazonian rivers looking for el dorado, while unknown dangers lurk behind. bushwacking beats slap through the thicket, wandering on the trails of ancient cultures, not fearing any frazzle. minilogues trademark sound already overgrows the dance-floor, wriggles over sweaty walls, into the corners and beneath the turntables, and theres quite a chance to lose oneself in that labyrinth when not paying attention to where the exit once was

this new escort is an amazing balance of 80s disco funk and techy electro for 2007. already seeing dj support from ewan pearson to trevor jackson to metro area. with a remix from the rapture gracing the full length b-side this one is the sure shot. the original come off like the bastard chile of prince and teena marie conceived at a swingers party hosted by rick james. the rapture deliver an epic minimal electro mix that starts off way in the depths and ends up being remniscent of >plastic dreams< with hypnotic piano chords. both sides of this 12inch are so different yet so slammin

after productions with sven väth and dj hell, anthony rother continues the tradition of mutual sound enrichment in an ingenious way, including the current publication for the sublabel datapunk limited. this time, no less than xenia beliayeva is involved, up to now the only female producer on datapunk thanks to her highly acclaimed >ultra glamour ep< of last summer. the 26-year-old muscovite by birth has regularly worked as a disk jockey already since 1996 and is considered as one of the hottest german dj insider tips since her support gig for kraftwerk at the zkm opening in karlsruhe. a part from brilliant breaks, xenias remix of rothers retreaded super space model hit >dont worry< is mainly characterised by the interplay of beliayevas and rothers voices, >love s gonna change your life for good<, who would have ever dared to doubt about that. with the flipside, rother once again did a solo revision of >roses<, available up to now exclusively on the cd version of the album >super space model<, and created a highly dynamic synthesis of classical datapunk sound and sporadically interspersed reminiscences of the romantic synthpop of the past century

after several side-projects as sid lerock and gringo grinder, pan/tone is now back with >dr. pyckle and mr. pryde<. >the tear jerker< is one of these elegiac anthems, building up more and more in a way you never want it to end. the flip resurrects the momories of the good old school of cologne - back then, when minimal was still pristine, and the groove as the fundamental element was still wirth something. as a bonus there s a remix by kimberly & clark, accentuating the track with some bleepy bliss, and loads of 808

supported by djs like punks jump up (kitsuné), munk (gomma), radioclit (uk) after releasing hyped 7inch singles with klaxons and kleerup ft. robyn risky dazzle is very proud to announce the release of this harlem bomb. harlem is a stockholm duo that consists of johan skugge and martin thomasson, they have previously released records on gramme and service and have been championed by tiga among others. this techno acid anthem is one of the most defining dancefloor 12inch singles of the moment. genre destroying, fierce and rocking, >cat scratch< is a pumped up 303 stomper with a demented acid line that hauntingly stalks the listener as the relentless beat is built up and broken down. much in the same way as mmms >donna< did in the late 90s, >cat scratch< takes back dance music to its raw, dirty basics. on the flip side, >kidney shot< pushes the noisy whereabouts of the a-side one step further. technoid and funky, it is bound to set the dancefloor in motion

the 4th installment of defected acapellas here feat cuts from junior jack, kings of tomorrow, jocelyn brown, jamie lewis, ron hall, olav basoski and many others a must have

the music is playful, ambitious, simple, complex, fun and melancholic and not at least. it is extremely animalistic. they have an album >animals< ready to drop in 2007. elephant s parade was played completely live with drum machines, synths and analogue sequencers. the duo like to record this way (compared to stuck infront of the computer) as they get more free in creating a specific and spontaneous feeling. here one might imagine a big gang of crazy elephants getting lost on a psychedelic parade. in the middle of the track things are getting a bit weird, perhaps too much amarulla fruit, which gives the second part its childish and naïve playfulness. on the flipside bird song has a dirty, noisy, trippy vibe with a little touch of basic channel sound. shake a tail feather !! played by anja schneider, karotte, tobi neumann, troy pierce, woody

wherever there is a need for bumping house music and kids are dancing to boring grooves, you call shyza minelli. she returns to tuning spork after way too long with two dancefloor bombs that are primed and ready to explode on impact at clubs worldwide. for this release shyza is bringing you a 12 with two different flavours, one on each side. set the limit is the a and haunting me is the b. set the limit is 9 minutes of rippling stuttering unadulterated funk that only tuning spork can give you. haunting me is the b side on this sick 12, but if you were hoping to catch your breath after the a side then you can forget it, this is another crazy trip into nightclub psychosis ! big with ricardo villalobos, mac schneider, dan curtin, luciano !!

acos coolkas are konstantin atomas and vasiliy basalaev from omsk, russia. omsk by the way is the largest city of southern siberia situated at the crossing of transsiberian magistral and the irtysh river - 2500 kilometers from moscow to the east. its pretty hard to imagine where it is unless you are a geography expert. however - there are people that produce electronic music like this living there.acos coolkas are mainly known in russia for their domestic works and releases and >skyline< is one of their first releases abroad and first (but definitely not the last) appearance on theomatic. their atmospheric, freshness-breathing house seasoned original version supported by andrei zakharov aka an-2 with his more-serious-attitude-to-the-things stratospheric disco story on b-side

tony rohr needs no introduction. his releases on clink, cocoon, dipolter,hidden agenda, and weave speak for themselves. >db revenge< is seductive minimal adventure. rohr begins with his dynamic drum work with flips and edits. tight flanged bass highlights. the hook moves its way up in the mix. all together now jack. this one will be stuck between your ears for months. our remix is courtesy of camea (clink recordings/klickhaus). washing the mix in digital reverb camea continues to tease with original elements worked with her signature dry drum hits. advancing beyond the track grabs for your feet and never touches back down. also included is a bonus track of just the db synth. have fun everyday

dj support : anja schneider, chloe, shinedoe, oxia, james flavour, sian, ralph lawson, peace division... let me dance is asking for joint dance action with spoken word shreds, driving synth-lines and a snappy beat. compared to his recent releases, >let me dance< is a true and wonderful old-school affair that reveals the deeper and more housey facette of martin in an impressive way. sebo k one of the most in demand producers of the moment contributed a fantastic remix. apart from being a splendid dj or production work for anja schneider, sebo released an array fo strong singles on mobilee as well as remixes for king roc, john dahlbäck and others. sebo picks up on the vibe of the original and makes it even more housey and adds a tighter beat

at the latest since that lovely cover of german de:bug, our housi is no insider tip anymore, and it s obvious that the guy has to get out on this world s stages with his live show to hump the floors out there. this housemeister, who is he? a never ending, bubbling creative well, making his musical way straight and genuine, special and: his own. he has just released his album >enlarge your dose< on boysnoize records, it seems like someone build in a preprogrammed >producer mashine<, always letting him know exactly what s next. on just one ep, probably nobody ever before used up all of music history in such a fun way -while that wants to be achieved in the first place, maintaining your own style.aycb 05 is like a look book of the most exciting genres of the last 3 decades. who has not witnessed those days should go get this ep fot that exact reason. there s a lot to learn, talk about genre hopping in modern times. double rating and the golden schizo award goes to aycb05

the 4th installment maybe the hottest one yet! hard to top such previous quality but when there is a will there is a way. >gonna make it now< is a super-rare disco joint only released on a white label in the 70s and played by chicago s superstar dj ron hardy. re-edited and released here for your dancing pleasure. on the flip is some classic last poets agitprop >niggers are scared of revolution but niggers shouldn t be scared of revolution because revolution is nothing but change, and all niggers do is change. niggers come in from work and change into pimping clothes to hit the street and make some quick change<. a stone cold killer

after his much applauded tribute to manuel göttsching, norwegian martial arts grand wizzard blackbelt anderson returns with another deadly sample of his secret technique: the main cut >alfaz de pi< molds the ancient styles of cowbell driven space disco and ruff acid into a powerfull weapon for dancefloor action. >sandoz< overwhelms in a more gentle way with its sweeping balearic chords and the melancholic melodie while the prins thomas edited >snake eyes< hands out some hard capoeira style slaps. surely one of the most crushing releases on full pupp so far.

jackin with jeff does just that with thick procession, tough beats, layered key stabs, spoken word samples peppered throughout and a thick rasta influenced bassline. its a driving dj sneak style number that has been finding its way in to the bags of all the heavy hitters across the globe. the flip side boasts twomixes of be free. this underground corker has the beats and chops that will definitely make ya shake and pop! sporting a tasteful sample from the classic jungle brothers house music all night long, this joint always gets the crowd in to the party mood. first mix is a quirky dirty version while the second one offers a dubbed out underground take

one listen to ‘atlantis to interzone’ and the several miles of dots between post punk psychedelic pop and pill popping dance music are quickly joined, where screaming sirens and samples straight out of a field in ‘89 give way to the punked out half-falsetto, half melodic breakneck vocals and drums. klaxons (that s jamie, simon and james) created a chorus that can be both screamed drunkenly and sung quietly to yourself on the bus. this anthem (of the year?) is offered with remixed version by our extra-skills duo digitalism, alongside an extra long industrial technoid mix by nightmoves and a ‘break for love’ mix by dave p and sparkles’

no need to introduce mazi & david duriez one more time, even those new in the house music business should have heard of them, the real chicago – paris connection. they have developed their own labels at the same time, gourmet & brique rouge, they built their carreers at the same time but this is only the second time, and surely not the last, that they go together in the studio. first time they produced the seminal everything is allright, one of the highlights from the audio soul projects album community this time they produced one of their futur classic, while david duriez was in chicago on the way to his detroit electronic music festival gig. produced in just one afternoon, the track is already acclaimed and hammered by all the big onesjosh wink plays it everywhere. mr.c has also been reported jumping in the booth to ask david what this track was.

recent perc releases such as >splashy< and the >razor ep< have been supported by michael mayer, james holden, slam, ozgur can, nathan fake, jesse somfay, marc ashken and avus !! opening track >strange ways< is one of perc s finest productions to date with a slow, shuffling electronic groove underpinned by a huge bassline. this leads to a jaw-dropping breakdown built around a floor-destroying bass attack. on the b-side >yeah< fuses together minimal techno with the london >fidget< house sound to create something unique. again a heavy bassline plays a large part in the track, as does an unforgettable vocal drop. finally >blocked barrel< is a slice of 2006 style neo-rave mixing driving electronic house with the stabbing hardcore riffs of the early 90s

with his stunning releases on raum…musik and steve bug s pokerflat imprint, argy a.k.a. jobim s cousin has earned himself a position as one of today s most promising producers. on cargo edition, the boy from greece shows himself a bit more tool-like - hypnotic percussions drive forward these two excellent dancefloor tracks. comerte (a1) sounds like a bongo band playing live at the gym: this sound reminds us so perfectly of squealing basketball boots, doesn t it? hopefully, your dancefloor is not slippery, either… la revancha del bossa (b2) is a bit less forward, paving the way to daniel stefaniks remix of comerte (b1) with nice bassline action. speaking of the remix - mr. cargo edition himself keeps the crowd driving mad with three minutes of spurring synth modulation. see the people going wild when he finally drops in that redeeming bass drum

the fourth release on anfnotor features yet more top-drawer electronic emissions from cledus snow and aleksandr jurczyk two individuals based in glasgow. their sound is of late nights in clubs and early mornings under the sky with the party scene of glasgow evident in various distinct ways. cledus snow is the latest project from callum campbell, who has risen from the sound of the late 80s and early 90s heavily influenced by machines such as the dx7, and musically by the tones and textures produced by detroit, eindhoven and london. since moving back to glasgow aleksandr has been involved in new musical projects and has started to carve a niche with his unique electronic sound. his latest offering sees him assault the dancefloor with an italo bassline fuelled late night thumper. so far this 12 has received praise from mark bell aka lfo, erwin van moll aka max 404, $tinkworx, kenny larkin and kurt baggaley aka scape one
