after the big feedback of mallory 007 ... they are back with a fuckin great release! in the 8th release there are 2 tracks by the magician burrini (one of the best confirmed italian surprise in europe) and gabriele carasco, one of the most old engineer produce from rome and famous all around the world for his big remixes. for sure >tu eres< will be an hit on the best tech_house dancefloor and >mahalageasca< will be one of the best stupid nasty tech_house hit of nye. its a great release!

the 9th release on excentric muziks off-shoot rekluse brings with it a very welcome edition to the rekluse family, we are sure matt cooper is somebody who you will be hearing a lot more about in the nearest future, that is if you havent heard of him already...
from his mixmag >future hero< tag, to his efx1000 tutorial videos for pioneer (he has been likened to james zabiela but with bigger bass lines) and his ongoing residency at the dirty disco in leeds (the northern light was the original home for the club night which the ep title pays homage to), the only piece missing from his jigsaw was the production side of things, until now. he recently teamed up with spektre to launch their new respekt label with the >cuernos cubanos< collaboration, and now we are very proud to present matts first ever solo productions, brought together as >the northern light ep<.
>pack your trunks< is dark twisted statement of intent, with a hearthrob-esque hook giving off the feeling that the track is ever so slightly on the brink of loosing it, before that tough gloomy groove reminds you just why you were listening in the first place, and why you have to listen to it just that one more time...
>triptup< attacks with a driving upbeat vibe that also arrives with a crazy tinged edge to it, keeping the dance floor bouncing off the walls, this has never failed to receive anything less than devastating reactions during its many roadtests on our travels.
>the swinger< rounds off the ep with a kinky tech houser that swaps the power of its 2 harder brothers for some chirpy tomfoolery, without compromising on its absolute effectiveness to well and truly rock the party whilst getting completely stuck in your head. and dont forget the breakdown...

>all tracks are great! will definately play it... pianos on the beach is amazing.<
- robin (david gilmour girls)
>yeah, as i said, i think its your best edit 12 so far. the choice of tracks is great, >pianos on the beach< is the kind jam youd like to hear on a dancefloor late at night, i guess this could have been played by francis grosso or mancuso. same for >look at you<, fantastic track, very emotionnal, whis has something of an anthem. keep on sending me such a thing. (btw, i m a fan of canyons label, great stuffs)<
-cosmo vitelli
>this is the kind of release that makes me excited to dj again...and again. theres something here for the beginning, middle, and end of a great night.<

this is the track that has been burning down the house this summer, this is punk-funk techno ... this is >fables and fairytales<. a deep, dark and wonderful cut of distorted house music from adam marshall and nicholas murray under the alias n/a featuring the voice of rosina… a creation that touches the heart, body and soul with an intensely passionate sound, producing one of the best crosstown rebels releases yet.
from the vocal chorus so hooky and cool - to the kind of bassline you will be humming hours after the club, this piece of lfo tech-funk brings adonis, the slits and the fatback band into the same room and melts them into one shining gem. falling horns and random stabs, a punk funk vocal that is truly infectious, crosstown rebels #54 grabs you at the beginning and doesnt let go for the next twelve minutes. a faultless anthem for the coming nights…
on the b side, the latest artist signed to rebels, the uniquely talented deniz kurtel, stretches the hook into a dubbed out trip of groove-infused techno. morphing and twisting the ferocious female voice to sensual whispers and heart-felt cries, she works more enchantment into this anthem and builds a serious groove for a dark room.

2002 classic by yann fontaine (ovum. low pressings) with a deep, deep rerub from west caost favourite lance desardi (seasons). in a very metro area vibe, lance takes the dubby tech original into a smoked out trip of new wave keys and mininimal drums, that morgan geist would sweat on. the flip heads into rob paine world, with a low rumbling bassline and rasta fills. a litle more reserved than yanns normal tech housers, this is a cool track that could easily be on bluem or environ.

the phenomenal handclap band, are a many-membered ensemble which also features musicians from tv on the radio, jon spencer blues explosion and amy winehouses backing band the dap kings, all of whom contribute their individual talents to make for a very exciting whole. their sound is an anthemic, dancefloor-oriented blend of progressive rock, disco, electro, and 60s soul with sprinklings of hip hop-styled orchestral breakbeats and moody, synth-soaked & heavy hooks. using live instrumentation to evoke the intricate arrangements of norman whitfield, quincy jones and phil spector as well as the pared down beats of contemporaries like the neptunes and danger mouse.
a prime example of this melting pot of styles, this single >15 to 20< , combines >vintage sounds of blondie and esg with some css and james murphy thrown in< (zane lowe, bbc 1) to make for an instantly catchy disco pop concoction thats times-tabling chorus will be as popular in the playground as on the hottest dancefloors. >15 to 20< enjoyed spot plays from the likes of radcliffe & maconie, john kennedy and zane lowe, who made it his >hottest record in the world< and went on to describe it as his >breakthrough record of the year so far.< press-wise it has featured in the nmes 10 tracks you have to hear & in the guardians film & music playlist.

aux-rec is being launched by airdrop records as an offshoot label designed with a specific mission in mind: to look back and pay tribute. aux-rec surveys musical history looking for those inspiring pieces of music (famous or forgotten) that carry a very distinctive groove and identity, and that offer the potential to be revisited in an ingenious contemporary way. at airdrop, we love music of all ages and of many genres! we feel aux-rec is a way for our artists and for us to pay our due respects to the origins and the evolution of contemporary dance music.
the existing airdrop roster of artists will be invited to contribute to aux-rec, but different artists will also be uncovered specifically for this project. off to a fresh start, franco cinelli and club rayo (a duo composed by rafael sorol and pablo terreil) engrave their long-time friendship on this record. franco cinellis first productions were released on the duos imprint club rayo disquets at the beginning of the millenium. the club rayo collective has been extremely active in the local argentinean scene for more than twelve years now.
going back to one of music historys greatest classics, >fever<, franco cinelli and club rayo bring their own interpretations to a theme that has known as many versions than people taking a sing at it in the shower! using ella fitzgeralds and elvis presleys voices, club rayo create repsectively the fitzgerald mix - a rocking dancefloor jam looping ellas fantastic voice bringing it to a culmination - and the king dub - a 118 bpm groove punctuated by elvis low-pitched and resonant tone. cuerdas is a short guitar instrumantal rendition of the fever theme. on his remix, franco cinelli creates a 10 minutes drum symphony, especially designed for the post-climatic hours. both producers kept in mind ellas famous quote when undertaking this great enterprise: >i stole everything i ever heard, but mostly i stole from the horns.<
the following releases on aux-rec will also be in the form of bootlegs, edits, re-works or samples (you name it). they will bring back memories to your heads and mostly the groove to your feet. to be true to its mission of a vintage exploration, aux-rec will be releasing exclusively on vinyl, in the tradition of the essential music format of the 20th century. there will be no digital releases at aux-rec. in the pipeline are soul claps edit of laid backs >bakerman< as well as le loups version of sheila es >a love bizarre<, produced by prince.
also played and supported by agnes, butane, ripperton...

today, krikors musical style has become more hybrid than ever, a personal synthesis of his musical obsessions : the fat groove and old drum machines of chicago house, the abstract sounds of minimal techno, the urge and energy of rock(abilly), the harshness of industrial music, the dark romantism of folk anti-heroes from the 60s and the forward thinking of grm lab rats (pierre schaeffer, pierre henry..). the result of this synthesis is a first album >land of truth< at last, after 10 years of waiting. its an intimate and ambitious album, bitter and sweet. 11 cinematic songs featuring the voices of krikor himself and also nicolas ker (from poni hoax) on >god will break it all< and >dogs on trial<, chloe (the french dj) on >everything fades< and chloe (the english punkette of battant) on >the times<.

it s good to see there are some folk still out there making proper electro. fans of classic drexciya will love the uhu tracks, if you have heard his earlier releases on gigolo then you will know just how good this guy us.
on the flip is juan pablo whose cinematic style of electro sounds like john carpenter mixed with early viewlexx and nature releases. this gets a big thumbs up from us so don t sleep on it.

absolutely massive dop rework! will and tam went back to their roots and dusted off the sampler for >teddy s back<. strings and vocal cuts bring the soul and their trusty 101 delivers the bass line. as with many of their previous tracks together all the percussion is recorded in live - >because it sounds better and is fun to do<. they set out to achieve something that was heavy, rolling and organic yet with memorable moments that doesnt disappear into a never ending ableton conga loop... the original is already a firm favorite with the wolf + lamb crew and gilbr from chateau flight has also been supporting it for many months from an early version. our parisian friends dop deliver the goods on a major level with their remix. a truly filthy yet undeniably infectious song penned after a recent gig at the infamous berghain is backed by a surefire rhythm track and arrangement that is designed to move bodies. in wills words >not one i ll be playing to my mum<. just how we like it!

two of italys most formidable electrosonic programmers, composite profuse & kobol electronics were handpicked by veteran covert intelligence agent wilhelm von erwache to decode the encrypted archives of sismi, the italian secret service, and bring to life these clandestine events onto a 12 inch vinyl disk. on the a side, composite profuse (minimal rome, bunker) uncovers his tracks, blackfriars bridge & patience and charcoals and sets them to an ominous electro soundtrack that his name is synonymous for. the b side sees kobol electronics (minimal rome) deliver two sonic binary programs, code01 & code10 that will devastate both internetworks and dancefloors worldwide.

nice price deal !!! this summer example returns with a brand new single, having killed the crowd with the demonic overground club smash (sunday times culture), hooligans, he has left the klaxons behind in favour of the sound of pop and produced one of the biggest tunes to hit the 09 heatwave. watch the sun come up will be released through data records.

we proudly present this new german hardcore label in our distribution: hardvolume records! this first, and powerful, release is presented by the new upcoming german talent in the hardcore industrial scene: stocker. for this 12 inch he combined forces with cyane, who is well known for his releases on vindicta records.on the a-side the boys kick off with >the new hate<, an uncompromising dark & rough industrial production full of brutally distorted bassdrums. the track comes in two stunning edits by both producers, both show the perspective of stocker & cyane on this raw industrial bomb! the flip side throws out two more heavy industrial tunes of which stockers >bitch< is already a favorite for many jocks in the industrial hardcore scene. great debut release for this young label which will leave the hardcore junkies excited for more, excellent 12 inch!

after almost a year hiatus the detroit grand pubahs are back with their detelefunk label. detelefunk being an abbreviation for detroit (det) electronic (ele) funk, they relaunch their imprint with a remixes series of some of their favourite producers remixing tracks from their last 3 albums. hence the title of the series being made up of words from all these album giving us the funtastic “buttfunkula and the remixes from earth”. this is the first of 2 volumes / eps that will offer new remixes, leading into a remix compilation featuring the finest remixes of the pubahs music from over the years. volume 1 sees the minimal originator himself, robert hood, take the reigns and remix the title track from the pubahs debut album >funk all y all<, while detroits underground resistance / interstellar fugitives dj 3000 takes one of paris the black fus first tracks >stalking you< (previously released on throw) and adds his albanian rhythms. finally, last but by no means least swedens samuel l session takes time out from producing for his own klap klap label to deliver this peak time dancefloor remix of the infamous >dr bootygrabber<. promising to take robert hood, dj 3000 and samuel l sessions on a galactic ass trip in their star ship was paris the black fu & the mysterious mr os way of getting them to do remixes. >now all i have to do is get them to deliver< comments paris from his secret lab >i do plan to bring them home after the remixes have been released. working with these artists has been a goal of ours for the past few years, and now that they ve been abducted may the funk be with all of us<

the model is no stranger to gigolo, and we (the royal we) are no strangers to the model. as a supporter of gigolo records, you, our fated reader, should be familiar with our protagonist previous gigolo adventure. but in the words of the late george harrison, >all things must pass< and with this in mind we would like to reintroduce...
the model doesnt just have his own sound, he has in fact attempted to engineer his own genre: dark-techno-baroque. the sound has been crafted through a penchant for aristocratic mannerisms and a passion for high fashion and low fetish. it also happens to pretty succinctly sum up part of his unique personality. set against a backdrop of refined charm, there s an underbelly of something dark and brutal, which is possibly the best way to describe the a-side >in the night<. in many ways this could be seen as a return to form for gigolo, immediately poppy but structured as a classic song with haunting vocals underpinned with a driving techno rhythm. to further consolidate the techno aesthetic look no further then >flex on the b-side and you have a pounding track that could have been played by daft punk in 96 and will probably find a home with a diverse selection of djs today.
the >vampire funk ep< is the first release from the models forthcoming album on gigolo. the concept is in the same vain, but delves deeper into the dark-side of the model. exploring his fetish with the night and creatures that occupy its opulent corridors. like classic transylvanian tales the music from this album will present details that set the mood and composition to create tracks with narrative regardless of lyrics or words. the result being music that moves both bodies and minds and stirs the blood. as pretentious as this sounds the author of this mindless scrap of paper has the fortunate privilege of speaking from experience. as the mind that moves the hands that moves the keyboard is the mind that is being moved by the music as i type and you read. so we are already part way there. the rest will unfold in the coming months.

after the success of the re-edits vol.1 the messengers (kev beadle & darren moss) are back with a couple of peak-time floor fillers for vol.2.
>first left< is a huge funky fusion bomb that will be sure to move any crowd. looping up the classic herbie tune >just around the corner< the boys have added some percussive flavours to give it a summery edge. side 2 is their rework of ray barrettos version of stevie wonders >pastime paradise<. extending the intro and giving it an extra little kick the tune builds into the perfect singalong tune for those bbq afternoons and summer nights.
both tracks have already found their way into the cd cases of gilles peterson, king britt, phil asher, rainer truby, simbad, eddy ramich, mad mats, michael rutten, rob luis, kay suzuki,dom servini, souled, nik weston, dj asparagus and jonny miller and getting major support from them all.

marcus sur lives 30 minutes from cologne in essen and has recorded for several labels in the past like pottheads with whom he reached no 1 in the dcc charts with his >stop the junk< release. his latest tracks were released on highgrade and keno records. marcus sur played bass in a band but stopped in the 90ies to get involved in djing which lead to famous residencies in clubs such as >rote liebe< and >baikonur< where he was also responsible for the musical programme. with his release >down with the ship< on trapez ltd he shows his love for minimal music. his definition of minimal though has more in common with robert hood than with recent developments due to the fact that his love for rare groove and deep house music has been part of his life. his 2 track vinyl is authentic and cool and speaks the language of the coal mining district in germany, the ruhrpott. house music has always been big there and lead to the founding of one of the first house distributers in germany, ntt . marcus sur is momentarily resident at the gold club in essen where he will celebrate his release on the trapez label night (26th of september)

seth troxler, shaun reeves and hector present >the royal we<, and their fiendish release party guilt on crosstown rebels will crack the smiles of its most discerning listeners.

excellent seventh release on the kazoo label, a label that just goes from strength to strength. listening to the four club techno stormers from odessa soundfreaks / peppelino / mat303 & josh love / aka carl & the technicians will leave you in no doubt of this!

a look into your calendar will show you the bitter truth ... summer is nearly over ... but: be_chosen is your friend with bringing back the essence of house!
daniel comes hereby with fresh and groovy attitudes, that we highly wanna support.
this 4 tracker will give you a introduction of what daniel is able to serve. knowing each other from back in the days, christian burkhardt couldn t resist to add a fine and delicious remix which will show you how >the blow you know<.
say welcome to our new be_chosen labelmember!

one of the most ridiculous, brilliant things you will have heard in a long time (the guardian)

radioslave rmx! epic piece of music, one of the most ridiculous, brilliant things you will have heard in a long time (the guardian)

following the success of their storming funkatech debut >wickedest combination ft. ic3/the system<
west london threesome pyramid are back with the first single in a four part series entitled >elements< consisting of earth, air, fire & water but inspired by their four prefered staples: sex, drugs, rock & roll! in true pyramid style expect nothing less than dancefloor destroyers with uncompromising attitude that deliver the breaks fundamentals: big bass & real breakbeats wrapped up with a fresh twist for 2009.
proclaiming the arrival of this new series in full effect is the preacher this summers first festival anthem. take heed all ye doubting thomases this will bring you to your knees. the ominous intro gives way to heavy rock guitars and a foreboding preachers sermon whipping the crowd into a frenzy before suddenly being struck down by waves of bass and earth quaking beats so big they will bring the lame back to their feet. this is a big room track guaranteed to smash up the dance. big warm and heavy it will rock the most sinful of ravers into repentance. watch those hands reach for the sky ... hhhhallelujah!
not letting up the energy for a second and next up on the flip is >broken dreams< featuring the vocal and production talents of yoof (sons of mecha). no massive build ups here just a great vocal hook, raw beats and bass. no sir this is a ram raid. break steppin broken beats, rapid distorted basslines, thrash guitars & crashing cymbals... have it! underground and uncompromising pyramid bring the skank for 2009.

this is a 2nd single cut from the new lawrence album >until then, goodbye<, which will be released together with this 12 inch. >in your eyes< is the most dance-oriented trackon the album. atmospheric trancy deephouse style. >sleep and suffer< is abstract minimal house and >dont follow me< is an emotional ambient track.

>who is the person you would most like to work with?< for claude vonstroke, its definitely bootsy collins - the biggest personality in parliament funkadelic and funniest character the funk world has ever seen. we couldn’t be any more excited to have bootsy on dirtybird and this crazy collaboration of styles is the lead single on claude vonstroke’s 2nd album, “bird brain.” if you haven’t heard of bootsy we couldn’t write it better than rolling stone… “bootsy collins’ rubber band was the most entertaining and longest-running spin-off of george clinton’s eternal p-funk circus, and that’s because bootsy is a true star, the clown prince of comic, psychedelic, good-times funk – if he weren’t such a genius of the bass, you’d think he was jimmie walker in a sequined costume, star-shaped mirrored shades included. his career is like a horatio alger story based in chocolate city: plucked from teenage obscurity in 1969 to play with james brown, the former william collins of cincinnati brought a slap-happy zest to jb’s sound, then hooked up with clinton and was reborn in his image, with a little help from lsd.” it is certain that claude vonstroke is not nearly as accomplished as bootsy collins, but he takes the same tongue-in-cheek approach to his music and that’s why this collaboration really works. both claude and bootsy believe you got to get up for the down stroke and there’s no way to fake the funk or your nose will grow, pinocchio!

in the summer of 1975 peter gathered his collective to record 5 compositions. the outcome was this great album ?the silver apple? heavily influenced by coltrane and his quartet, as well as by cecil taylor, maurice mcintyre, roswell rudd and many musical greats. it?s a monumental lp as it will take you back to a truly unique time of jazz in new york.

as the title of their new full length recording suggests, green concorde is moving, and moving fast. the direction is one and one only: out!
be it from the dark star palm trees of miami, from the silvercoated buildings in the city of glass or from the claustrophobic humidity of their now abandoned rehearsal room in copenhagen, this outfit is running for safety. out where the stars look like arrows on fire. as they move, green concorde stays true to their pulsating post-punk brand, though some of the sounds characteristic noise has been distilled and filtered, leaving a more soft and atmospheric expression than the one characterizing their previous album, ten cities. and unlike ten cities, this album is not a result of hours spent in a cold rehearsal room in a humid basement. instead the nine songs were written under intimate and private forms, partly in the bandmembers own appartments in copenhagen, partly in a small cottage in the dark outskirts of denmark. the run has begun. are you ready to follow green concorde down the corridor, to the exit, through the gates, out into safety?

welcome to rebel intelligence - the new label is ready to make you pop like it was 1984 all over again! their first single is by the uks matt whitehead, one half of signal type (along with phil bolland on the cultivated electronics label) and captures the style of early electro funk in all it s analogue glory. so good! the a sides >beat the heat< is the more pacey of the two tracks here, constantly building with vintage synth stabs and the true feeling of electro, reminding us of harold faltermeyer and all those cats so heavy influenced by kraftwerk. on the flip, >tuff city< combines classic b-boy sounds and punchy drum programming to create an authentic listening experience that will make you want to get your lino out and bust some moves. highly recommended.

determined to write a new chapter in nycs long history of dance music, marcos cabral and jacques renault (think dfa, rekids, im a cliche, wurst edits, chinatown, editions disco, rvng, trapez, and more) have decided to launch their own record label on the prowl. with a heavy nod to american classic house, techno, and disco, otp listeners should expect a variety of sound that will propel them to dance for years to come. the first otp instalment entitled the poltergeist throws a heavy blow of dark acid bass, todd terry-esque stabs, and proper dubbed out distortion for a feeling that will leave listeners floored... leaving even the most stubborn of listeners open for more. house music, raw and unrestricted. the b-side, not to be overshadowed, brings us dont block the box. an a-side in its own right, delivering us good old fashioned house music with hypnotically filtered samples and pulsing arms in the air swells of resonance.
