the titel track rush me fuses the steinbergian house style with the lo-fi charm of the roaring 20s. it comes over slightly poppy but with a very relaxed and laid back groove. steinberg at his best! format:bs rush me remix, that has been reduced to the original vocals comes over trippy and with a good dose of bongos making it into a grooving party track. steinbergs es la vida is an elegant reduced tech house beauty. the rhythmic, percussive vocals hit on a very monotone but kicking bass line. a touch of a warm night by the sea in spain! format:bs interpretation of es la vida concentrates on the vocals and some of the percussion from the original, and combines steinbergs basics with a hypnotic synth-structure that boils up in the last third of the track until it finally explodes! all tracks arent scared to admit that theyre aiming for the peak time. 4* different styles. kick ass!

after their release on super flu label monaberry, hanne & lore serve the new dish on superfancy plates. the justamente ep features two crisp tech house tracks, keeping you warm through the winter season. a hot welcome hit from hanne & lore on superfancy recordings !!! the label with the eyes.

sebo ks last release on mobilee, diva, was a hit, and one of mobilees most popular tracks in 2008. since then hes primarily stayed under the radar, popping up only momentarily to release a track on cecille in july of 2009. with his new release spirits, sebo returns not only to mobilee but also to the sonic tropes that propelled him to success in the first place. undulating melodics that stretch like rubber bands, a funky bass line, and a jacking house beat: within the first few seconds of hearing spirits one immediately recognizes the slew of sounds with which sebo k made his name. the track takes its time to build as well, riding the groove for a bit before bringing a singular, high pitched note into the picture. as it continually gains momentum and rises in intensity, the captivating sounds of a piano arrive, adding yet another layer of familiar and hypnotic melody. all the tracks components merge seamlessly, with percussive accents here and there until staccato strings make a dramatic entrance, fluttering and dialogue with the rest of the tracks components. by the end of the track, the piano has gotten back in the drivers seat, steering the track along it s course. the drum version builds off the vintage house sounds of the a-side but substitutes extensive percussion from max moya for the strings and piano

dilla would surely be proud! and so would probably theo and moody too. theres a new cat from michigan down with the raw fusion roster. his name is kiyoshi shelton and will, with a 150% probability, hit both the hip hop and soulful house scene large! his 3 track debut ep on raw fusion starts off with a real smooth hustlin deep house tune with parallels drawn to the eminent new york producer, dj spinna or even west londons own soulful heroes restless soul. the flipside takes us down memory lane with some real heavy detroit hip hop bangers, both of them with a nice soulful touch. their heavy and the tough and wicked lyrics are least as sharp.

the particular view on a musical future might have been considerably different when olaf hilgenfeld (berlin) met iftah gabbai (jerusalem) for first sessions in 2004. the piano player hilgenfeld used the accordion that time mainly, whilst gabbai was using all instruments available, a computer was among those more by chance. only one year later the duo skinnerbox played regularly on such uplifting, innovative off-partys that came up in the new techno generation again.
that was just the beginning. skinnerbox have developed a purely electronically composed and performed music (partly featuring vocals by elle_p) – that is not based on loops but improvised techno inspired house and minimal house. the roles in the duo are clearly settled: olaf hilgenfeld – moog synthesizer, iftah gabbai – hardware drum machines, max/msp und ableton live.
all these distinct impacts and effects can be heard on their various releases from the last two years, but far better in their live sets. skinnerbox are an experience, taking you on expedition with paralyzing minimal, breaking house, hard-edged techno-jazz, and ambient electronica futurism.
it was a desire to eternalize this play- & colorful diversity, often just caused by the moment, as entire homogeneity. thus, they needed to leave temporarily their environmental techno and minimal house scapes. >king of spades and marmalades< – the result – is a jazz opus wrapped into a disco suitcase. it is a reminiscence as well as going far ahead of daily musical habits, shown not at least by the order of tracks, do not starting with a stunning hit of the album, but with 20 minutes of challenge.

already licensed to 8bit reasons pt. 2! hot on the heels of chelonis r. jones the cockpit, and not ones to let us rest, marc romboy and his systematic recordings return with the next instalment from their hit making production line. with the release of robert babiczs album immortal changes set for early 2010, marc has decided to wet our appetites with the delicious sounds of astor. to back the fantastic original, systematic have created what could be, the finest mix package of 2009. the brazilian genius gui boratto takes the original on an epic, groove-lead tech journey with the most beautiful of breakdowns. shur-i-kan turns in one of his finest mixes to date, with a diamond draped, cosmic funk workout that is crying out for sunshine and beautiful women. finally, glimpse takes astor on sub-laden flamenco journey of wonderment…

plastique de rêves new single on david carrettas label space factory disques follows up on last years fantastic release on dfa with its summer !!, a perfect techno-pop summer hit with another great feature by vocalist ghostape, and dives further into the realms of electrodisco, synth-pop, and cosmic music. ultra synthetic and light-hearted, yet dreamy and emotional, the three tracks (four on the digital release) each capture with authenticity the essence of electronic disco music but pay tribute to it here in a very original, playful and modern way. its summer !! is a great follow-up to plastique de rêves previous singles on dfa and supersoul recordings, also featuring ghostape on vocals. this time the music goes even deeper into the worlds of synth-pop and electronic disco, with reminiscences of vince clarkes yazoo, giorgio moroder or kelley polar. the sunny, laidback, pop radio atmosphere, together with ghostapes emotional build up of the deliberately simplest lyrics ever written so far, might well keep you smiling, and dancing, all summer.

hamburg‘s very own stimming arrives on the hospitable shores of a freshly cut audiomatique with the wonderful ‚buxton pipes‘ ep. with releases on diynamic, freerange, terminal m and liebe*detail martin stimming‘s carreer was boosted by the underground hit „una pena“ last year and peaked in his debut album ‚refl ections‘ earlier this year. ‚buxton pipes‘, the lead track on the new ep, is a beautifully reduced, gentle roller that combines textural, shifting fi ltered percussion, phasing, effected melodies and a rich sub-room sound design that confi rms stimming‘s talents at working those subliminal zones. dainty, pretty and yet totally punchy at the right volumes, its a genuine slice of ultra modern micro-post-minimal- house. continuing the trippy, time-melting vibe perfectly, ‚kakusei‘ arrives with its pushing array of softened percussion and carefully extended spooky breakdowns. sliding and squelching through 7 minutes of prime tracky workout territory its another stellar addition to the record. finally the skipping ‚seepferdchen‘ throws a spanner in the otherwise smooth grooves with delicately jacked drum patterns and controlled sub-bassline throwdowns. super funky, ultimately reduced and sample-heavy it‘ll make those afterhours carry-ons all the more delicious. simply superb work from stimming on audiomatique. tracklisting: a: boxton pipes b1: kakusei b2: seepferdchen

finally a full ep by d marc cantu (1/2 of 2am/fm and under other aliases involved in collabos with traxx). technically its the follow up to his cult hit no control (creme jak 02, today a highly sought after 12inch) and in good h-h-h-house fashion this ep contains a ball busting jtc remix of this anthem. but the centre piece must be the title track one of the most emo-simplo jak trax weve ever heard here at the office. starting out simple enough with a single finger synth line (like the musings of a retarded secretary), it mutates into a big wailing distorted saxophone (or a mating whale, who knows?), this puppy will fill your room and throw everybody into an instant k-hole. hey, if that dont sound appealing check the soundclips for proof, its pure liberation... nay rebirth! more floor destroying crazyness on the flipside, but were all out of steam describing it. jak jak jak

nice price deal !!! 1998 mixes!! babylon zoo is famous for his hit single spaceman which hit no.1 in 20 countries in 1996!!!!

fingaprints smash hit >the print< remixed by roska plus fingaprint himself! also includes original version.

belgian producers sierra sam & marcus vector return to their house-oriented project d.i.y. (dumb irresponsible youth) for three more sly, sexy groovers, with contributions from dop, big bully and markus fix.
while sam and marcus are generally known for their more techno-focused productions, last years house tools vol. 1 was a minor hit, with tracks included in ellen alliens resident advisor podcast, jay hazes recent fabric47 mix cd, and m.a.n.d.y.s charts. since then, they ve kept busy with their own toys for boys label, meanwhile sierra sam has co-produced the debut album by bloody mary on contexterrior.
still, they ve found the time to crank out these new elegant-yet-sleazy cuts, and while vol. 1 was purely instrumental, for vol. 2 they ve roped in some guest vocalists. first up is their collab with comrades dop (circus company, eklo, supplement facts). >kilimanjaro< features d.i.y.s tribal bounce combined with dops seedy, trent reznor-on-opiates vocal delivery.
the flipside has two versions of >suck my caulk<: d.i.y.s original elevates thelevel of melody and sunshine, weaving in the voice of big bully (known forhis work on spectral, get physical and vakant). markus fix of cecille offers his own interpretation, bringing the track down into deep house territory. placed in the right hands, these tools can do some serious dancefloor damage!

(and with hit we mean hit... like top 10 positions uk and us etc). we already got some raving reactions from people who use to love this big brit funk tune back in the days... and this might even sound better! nice remix challenge for greg wilson and elitechnique... both delivered the works! we could write a long story about the remixes and the remixers... but just choose your favorite. 2 sublime nu disco funk work outs!

by rene breitbarths >atmotrax ep<, the second vinyl release is carried out on his own imprint deep data. the first floor filler >peace< grooves skillfully with catchy vocals on a dry beat till its soulful conclusion towards the end with charm and pressure. total relaxation is achieved by >loop<, however without forgetting the obligatory groovyness - a good opener or as well appropriate while making love. simply beautiful. this releases vinyl bonus track is provided by falko brocksiepers remix of renes track >dynamo<. the man hereby delivers the peak time hit of this ep – straight forward minimal house. >airy< puts the finishing touch to this ep. last but not least this piece comes with a cracking portion of soul and shines with its arrangement and linearity. yet again without loosing focus to the dancefloor. all in all a sure thing which keeps deep data slipping into the record cases.

hot city is dropping some severely skewed house music, twisting it up with his own blend of jackin chicago house, 2step/ukg, and bass bumpers. with only two tracks sent out to a handful of the finest djs around in the past few months, he s secured two gigs playing out at wifey, certainly the most fun club in london at the moment, and managed to generate a fair amount of hype already:
- smash, this is a mega rave hit bro, nice one! - drop the lime (t&b / nyc)
- very nice, thanks for this, will def play it - hudson mowhawke (warp / glasgow)
- i really like both these tracks, kinda minimal garage, very cool - hannah holland (batty bass / london)
the tracks on this new 12 inch build on the momenetum, with two tracks of stripped down dancefloor killers - >yeah!< is a monster builder, all todd edwards style swing and tight edits with crazy deep kicks, chopped up vocals, old school piano stabs, soaring strings, and hands in the air breakdowns. already being played out by drop the lime (check his latest exclusive mix for fact magazine where he opens his set with >yeah!<). >head work< on the b side is on more of a masters at work/harddrive era tip - deep garage beats tripping over themselves, burbling oddity synths, shuffling snares and the weirdest vocal melody breakdown/build-up ever!
the originals are complimented on the 12 inch by two remixes - tvo takes yeah! to another dimension altogther with a head destroying 140bpm hardcore junglist remix. on the flip, san franciscos eats tapes take >head work< into the wonkiest area of minimalist techno, showcasing their totally unique take on future groove.
the ep has been mastered by the irrefutable shawn hatfield/twerks special touch, bringing out the strengths of each track and tweaked for that perfect crisp warm vinyl pressing.

high on the heels of their brand new album >24/7< gus gus serve us the second single outtake. >thin ice< is undeniably the key song on the album and therfore screamed for being revisited for dancefloor purposes. the a-side belongs entirely to the hamburg based trio wareika, which is not only sharing the tourbus as support act with our icelandic heroes on their extensive >tanz mit mir< tour but also raised some eyebrows with excellent releases onlabels like tartelet, connaisseur, liebe/detail or eskimo. their take on >thin ice< is a wonderful, epic journey into contemporary deephouse - approaching the original from its intimate, emotional side before taking a total different turn in the last third of the track. we have no clue where this angelic voice transcended from but for sure it gives us gigantic goosebumps. on the flip, matteo esse and sant aka analog people in a digital world deliver proof that their brilliant remake of st germain, >rose rouge< was not just a one-hit-wonder. it was and still is hammered by the top league djs like pete tong, luciano, michael mayer and many more. they know exactly which buttons to push in order to make this worlds dancefloors happy.

babaorum team remixed the famous hit by master techno and called my noise 4 remix by binum, qatja s, d n traxx & j3r & mister x - just enjoy!

first time we have a pressing in stock of this incredible 1986 electro hit! instrumental and vocal version!

played by sven vaeth !! big hit in the remix from mister mihalis himself. a special very limited one sided 10 inch!

as a point of no return is referred in different contexts the date from which a return to the starting point is no longer possible. johnny ds oslo 014 confirms this with a truly musical climax. johnny d. presents after his hit >orbitalife< last year >point of no return<- a house track, which again emphasise the special feeling of that producer to tremble the dancefloor. here re playful vocals and a sexy groove on the program. also gardaness on the b side is a title not to be sneezed at. the nearly nine- minute tool is characterized by the impulsive bass line, which is highlighted by atmospheric vocals.

big follow up to andrea loves mega hit shined on me!!

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.

the worldwide smash hit gets the italian treatment!! cahill, wideboys and lockouts on remix duties here!!!

nice price deal !!! alessio mereu, a classical piano player since he was just an eight years old kid, moved to electronic music in the last few years with his trade mark hypnotic and full of groove defined style. even though he is a very young artist, he is a talented and appreciated producer who broke the scene just at 18. recorded for eminor records, orion & paco osunas mind shake label.
this, his 1st release for pick pocket, will feature some of his best work, francas heart has all the marks of being a hit, groove is so spot on & melodies coming in & out through out the track. this has all the right elements in the right places. a classic 10 / 10
dancing in the dark - this track simply moves you in so many ways, excellent percussive programing & synth lines that wave in & out of this simply. very nice piece of work. a new talented artist to watch out for in 2008.
padded cell - pick pocket comes with yet another deep cut, this time more minimaldub than techno, with some deep basic channel frequencies that will make you connect with your deeper side. it s all about the rhythm & the sound ...

roland appel of trueby trio, fauna flash and voom:voom fame is following up his huge hit dark soldier and the album talk to your angel (both released on sonar kollektiv) with an eerie tech house 12inch which is destined to be massive.

the second record >trapez 100 pt2< features a great dynamic track by dominik eulberg, and two remixes, one by break 3000 of oliver hackes legendary trapez track >der vampir von düsseldorf< and the other by the famous berlin duo format:b of florian meindls hit track >blast<. welcome back to the trapez world. dominik eulberg released stunning records on trapez in the past: >gasthof zum satten bass< was a huge hit and also >adler< createda waves of enthusiasm. with his exclusive track >ambivalent< for the trapez 100 release he refers to the days when techno was defined through its drive and enormous dynamic. >ambivalent< is exactly such a pounding driving track with a big synth joining in that creates joy and a great rush. mr eulberg was in a really good mood when he finished this track and we expect it to be played on many big raves. >der vampir von düsseldorf< (eng. the vampire from duesseldorf) is a legendary track, we released without any writing on the etiquette and just communicated by word. very few people knew that oliver hacke produced it and a lot of people like michael mayer and richi hawtin played the limited 12 inch a lot. now you get a very cool and fantastic, monumental, grinding remix by dirt crew records label owner break 3000. the format:b remix of florian meindls slammer >blast< is a winner. they manage to walk the fine line between techno and minimal by using sounds from mystery movies and funky beat patters, as well as slow down beats which create funky breaks and interludes that provide the original with a more trippy and rhythmic side.

eijajei - aye ya yay! this is a hit record! but what else would you expect when two of berlins hottest dj and producers, guido schneider and jens bond, are working together!? following the duos major success on pokerflat in 2004, we have managed to get the two of them back together for this exclusive release on highgrade. the results are well worth it. >getting sleepy< pulls us comfortably into the musical world of jens bond and guido schneider. without being obvious, and certainly not lazy, the track reclines into a laid back groove that hooks straight into the rhythm, creating a perfect atmosphere for the psychedelic vocals and hypnotic groove. you wont be able to escape the mood, making this the perfect techno weapon for the late night hours. we like! >eijeijei< is the highlight of the record: warm drums, siren like vocals, the whole thing seems to come from a long way away with incredibly smooth beats which make this track so special. maybe this is the sound of a table dance bar in the jungle? its incredibly sexy in any case

storming italian remake of the old living joy hit!!
