the follow-up to last years deep in need, the haunting me ep brings three new soulful and sleazy tracks from dirty bee. since house has been a buzzword for the last year or two, old-timer dirty bee shows the kids that its possible to give a shout-out to the old school, while still finding plenty of room for innovation. the title track, featuring bees friend luther on vocal duties, brings a paranoid vibe that crescendos with fluttering chimes and a baltimore breakdown. on the flipside, things get a bit filthy with out of body: pounding bass with conga accents keep the tempo, while a drunken, off-kilter saxophone solo tries to find its way home. finally, the snarling, electrified bounce of work for me closes out the ep. spread the house gospel!

played by brothers vibe, mike shannon, sebo k... from the beginning, marks dave hughes second ep release for palette. the three songs offer different variations on a single theme. from the beginning starts things off with classic sounding chords and punchy drums. from the start follows the theme in a more stripped down fashion, adding vocoded percussion with a powerful stab. start over continues in a more tricked out percussive form with clever programming and synth stabs. in all a club friendly three tracker and great follow up to his first ep on palette titled lets do it, the title track having recently been featured as the first track on john tejadas fabric 44 cd. dave is originally from ireland, but currently lives in los angeles. he has been djing since the age of 15, initially in dublin clubs along side many well known house djs. hes also made his way touring around europe, australia, asia and the us. he joined the current list of palette artists in the summer of 2007 with his first vinyl release lets do it. hes currently working on new productions with more soon to come.

asd008 sees the return of alex krueger and a welcome one at that! this oneÆs 5 tracks deep (including a digital exclusive) and includes a pair of fine remixes from londoner-in-berlin, mark henning, ôblasted bitchö is tigerskin at his best. the title cut is a feast of sonic trickery, with sounds playing off each other beautifully to create a wide, dense soundscape which, paired with clipped percussion, clever dancefloor arrangement, evil laugh & crude vocal sample this one delivers tough. henning, a man known for his abilities with sound design himself, takes a darker route with his interpretation which, while still driving, is more of a heads down late night affair û riddled with oddball delays and some unnerving vox efx. ôwhat theö takes a turn to the darkside, moody, sharp, reveb laden and pulsing, the track is real heavy business watch out for that unholy belgian hardcore synth riff a la ômentasmö, thereÆs a real æmomentÆ in there. to round off the original cuts. responseö continues seeing tigerskin provide a straighter groove but one which displays some sterling keyboard work and strong break. finally, henning provides another remix of the title track as the digital only addition all too important these days. futuristic deep, tech-house is about as close as a description anyone needs for this superb final piece of an equally superb package.

having quickly established himself as a bright new talent, with releases on respected platforms like drumpoet community, resopal and sthlmaudio, langenberg is the latest promising producer to grace the dessous label catalogue. a long flowing, proud and distinctly current sounding moment in house, >alternate rhythm< stakes its foundations in filtered, warping vocal loops, deeply rooted percussion and dubbed out effects. an urgently rousing synthline lifts the tension higher as langenberg breaks it down in classic style, resulting in a fulfilling and tempting treat for the dancefloor. berlin residing sensation sven weisemann first introduced his talents to the world through his work on the styrax leaves and mojuba imprints. now the young nu-wave-deep-house producer adds his own special touch with his ?allop rhythm remix? stripping down the original? sound palette into a delicious trip into precision dub deepness. taking inspiration from the legacy of both the us and german deep house fraternities, weisemann makes his intentions clear with this beautifully crafted, collectors?cut remix. tracklisting: a alternate rhythm b alternate rhythm (weisemann? gallop remix)

played by karotte!!! his first release on leena music and old pal, falko brocksieper, jumps straight into the game, spinning heads into you-know-what with his new ep, >oblivion<. these two segments display brocksiepers attention to detail and clean cuts. its classical meets modernistic. >oblivion< is smooth in its nature adding a few tweaks, keys, plus a thumping baseline here and thereû mostly keeping it simple and real. a delightful treat for your feet. its b-side, >chemtrails<, is a melodic tool taking the baseline down a notch and pulling keys in and out of the background as subtle symbols and perfectly cut vocals weave in and out sounds of an evening dust. the digital bonus >breezer< will blow you away into an unknown world of modern electronica with hidden tweaks and minimal influence. former cologne scenemeister, falko brocksiepers leading edge producing skills have landed him recent releases on turning spork, treibstoff and, not to mention, his own thriving imprint, sub-static. the latest of his renderings, >heavy day<, came out after a long five years from his debut album release sweeping the club scene of its feet. of course its no secret that brocksiepers specialty is mixing his time capsuled goods into his new work

after a 2 and a half year wait i finally managed to knock out a new single. its actually only my 3rd solo single ever. im very happy with it but ive got mixed feelings trying to describe it. you spend a year working on a track and a lazy shop worker or journalist will lump you into the >cosmicbalearicspacewhatever< straightjacket in 2 seconds, i can at least resist to do the same… anyway, two are quite psychedelic and one is some kind of cover version of one of my favourite villalobos trax. as you can hear ive had loads of fun fooling around in the studio playing the bass, percussion, drums(badly) and synths(even worse…)…

due to love is a massive progressive anthem in the making. deep progressive bass, snappy beats and kevin drews dreamy vocodered vocal combine to take the track to the next level. the remixes come from rudi stakker, who turns in a popof style techno work out and ryan riback, who covers the electro base well.

the man is back! watch out for the special subway collection and check out part iii first! huge!

another 2 great artists featured on naked lunch records. mark williams is one of the most respected artists from the uk. he is truly a veteran, and he has paid his dues over more than two decades on the scene as a dj and producer. he released a staggering catalogue of quality tracks on some of the most respected techno labels in the world including: tortured, dark house, pure plastic, phont, primate, and carl cox?s ultimate trax imprint, to name a few. this time on naked lunch, he delivers 2 huge tunes, funky & hypnothic just how we like it. at this moment axel karakasis is internationally recognized as the best known greek techno dj for his full of energy 3 decks sets and featuring rigorous musical selection that portrays his style.after many years of hard work in the studio and together with spiros kaloumenos he launches omega audio recordings. having made omega audio a very respected label in the scene, axel is now channelling all his energy into his own brainchild, remain records. for naked lunch he specially prepared tetris & rebellion, both beeing played out by many djs, receiving great feedback.

amplified orchestra provide more unhinged disco party on one ep than most dj s pack in one hour! this awesome new amplified release is part house, part disco with a hint of cosmic spaciness. arpeggio is a long and deep galactic trip with atmospheric strings, dope synths and spaced-out effects. an analogue bubblebath of sounds combined with a pumping disco beat and static bassline. the fighter is an excellent mid-tempo disco work-out. killer percussion with banging beats, grooving bassline and enchanting vocals provide for an hypnotic dancefloor nugget. rumble is a robotic an quirky electronic cosmic dancefloor stormer. amplified orchestra have been around releasing the dopest sounds since 2002. their releases on their own label, amplified, gained support from disco and house lovers all over the world. not a lot is known about who is behind the amplified orchestra moniker, although there is a chicago address stamped on the vinyl. but where the music comes from is irrelevant when it s good

watch ya feet is a beast with two heads as not one to do things by halves gavin has presented not one but two mixes, which both reflect the mood and scene of each of his homes. on the berlin mix, gavin captures the innocent late night energy and rawness of a berlin dancefloor. the twisted bassline, eerie tech house groove and warped noises roll along while the chicago-esque horns shriek out over the chaos. the london mix truly conjures up memories of londons finest venues, whether it be fabric or the end through to the afterhours of kubikle and retox. the groove here is a lot crisper than the german offering with the horn hook taking the to a euphoric climax. ewan pearson is one of the most highly acclaimed producers / remixers around, with past work including goldfrapp and the chemical brothers. his remix is one of pure energy as the track is transformed, through flawless production, into a sinister powerhouse of rising electro-techno that would feel at home in the sets of the likes of smagghe, weatherall, richards and mayer to name but a few.

one of technos most diverse and prolific producers ‘mark broomis back again to demonstrate the definition of dub techno. this is a purist record through and through that unashamedly harks back to the classic chain reaction and basic channel sound, something that the world and its djs crave endlessly, and rightly so. all four cuts sail forth in calm warmth and steady bass, massive reverbs and echo are worked intermittently lifting everything upwards like a strong cosy breeze. the listener is forcibly bounced up and down in a gentle fashion, (we would expect nothing less than gentlemanly behaviour from broomer) and through proper application of decibels a full cellular body massage can result. this is essential dub for the techno journeyman out there. not only great to listen to, but also a helping hand with your exfoliation routine.

the tenth release on one of hard-technos leading labels is an extra special one! daniel gloomy hits us hard with his devastating beats and wicked sampling! watch out for the special remix work by big names lexis, buchecha and dj ogi!!

renegade soundmachine byronic: rsm are gary asquith (renegade soundwave, rema rema) & renault schubert (film2). the text for byronic was penned by the author and bon viveur lord byron himself a couple of years ago. renegade soundmachines tongue in cheek piece of work mirrors their anarcho decadent character, which gary asquith already used to bring in with his legendary project renegade soundwave probably a robbery despite the byronic irony, theres yet a message in the attitude. film 2 big city heart: film2 are the french actress betty la gachette (voice, dictaphone, field recordings, camera, typewriter) and once again sir renault schubert (electronics, guitar, bass, edrums, camera, software) from berlin. with big city heart they cry out an emotional and momentary perspective of capitalism, urban and individual mutations with gasoline in the air and vaseline on my hair.

when we first started thinking about the compilation, we had in mind the idea to put together a great minimal techno selection with stuff from the early 90s, which really inspired us, like robert hood, dan bell, plastikman, pansonic and mike ink to name a few. whilst working on the project we had the feeling that there is so much more great and influential minimal music from way before the techno thing started. so we were very excited to combine the music from the electronic pioneers, with the tracks from the minimal techno godfathers in a very modern way. in minimal music there is so much (space) in between the sounds and the space that gives you a lot of opportunities for an own interpretation. the grandfather paradox is a scientific theory about time travelling and was first described by the science fiction writer rene barjavel in his book - le voyageur imprudent. we took suggestions out of that because we felt like we are travelling back in time and manipulating the old music with modern knowledge. the fact that we did all this with the deserved respect to the originals makes us quite sure that the results are bringing something new and interesting to the old tracks and transport the past into the here and now. - henrik schwarz, ?e & dixon

played already by the usual famous suspects from adam beyer to chris liebing, felix kröcher, oliver huntemann or technasia who always grab out the tracks from alex the method tracks will again work on the floor for sure. alex trademark, his fat basslines, combined with clear and precise drumming gain the next level of colorful techno-entertainment these days. full method jacket is the one for the peaktime with atmo-changing breaks as triple chain method will delight all the fans of slower, groovy minimal techno

planet rhythm is steadily working its way towards a respectable 70 releases. during the last couple of years the label has brought some of the best underground techno and the future is still pretty bright. again its time for the spanish connection in the form of exium! these guys are known for their extremely well crafted work on nheoma and audio assault.this is no exception, deep spaced out techno that works perfect on the dancefloor. audio assault labelboss bas mooy has shown to be a talented producer over the last few years. the man from rotterdam has stayed true to the darker sound of pure techno. this stuff is the result of the fact that bas was born and raised in one of the worlds most technoid cities - molten metal and gallons of raw oil seem to be pumping thru this mans vessels!

the running back sports team is glad to welcome two new players to its roster. dplay and whiz kid manuel tur (see also his brilliant ribn stuff) have caused a great stir with a bouquet of 12-inches for outfits like zurichs beloved drumpoet community or the compost black label as well as knocking out well-made remixes. for instance, their work on kiloos the passion is just adorable. here we have them melted into one organism called dplay, while mtur moves in silence (or in the production credits, if you please). stretching out on the a-side, huub sand is not only a tribute to two of schalke 04s greatest gentlemen, but a prime-example of cavernous, stoic and infective house those two (no not the schalke guys) had quite an impact on. initially planned to come with a remix by the mighty radio slave (please look at cat-no. 012 to see what became of that), our coach could convince the duo to hand out two rather atypical, nonetheless bloodcurdling tunes instead: tschaka kicks some deep dub disco houz styles of the highest orders with riot-like effects on your mind, body & soul. finally, schroulé is a claustrophobic corker, if we have ever seen one. should be the perfect sound track for padded cells and the up-and-coming remake of mel brooks frankenstein. these ruhrpott kids are alright!

touted as the hottest new kid on the block, ridney is the man they all want to work with. a firm favourite of pete tong, and former essential tune with james talk, this year will catapault him to the big league. mixes from conan liquid & stockholm syndrome, this gets him and realgroove nicely out of the blocks for 2009. the smart money is with ridney, watch this space

because of the keen idea to have at least 3 good releases within the first 10 records, it was clear that nobody else but phillip lauer would be able to sort this out on brontosaurus 10. so after #1 & #5 here is # 10 from the man. set your clock! its kinda metric. with 10 releases on his back the brontosaurus is no greenhorn anymore. we found out a few things: 1) we will never know if good music does not sell. >2) printing your own covers is an honourable thing to do but it is a lot of work! > 3) its still fun in the end so lets stick around for the next 10 releases and check this commanding 3 tracker.

claque musique present their fifth release, which is a technoid gem from hugo (already responsible for the brilliant third 12 inch on the label, entitled born to bop) called strobo revenge. another zany electronic bullet that is destined to cause mayhem on dancefloors worldwide! on the a side, jumping beats, vocal mirages and compressed synths create the groove on the original mix of the title track. a fizzing bassline and echoing whistles enter later on and they give the track a slice of claque musique zaniness. a2, prismatic visual, is a powerful floor filler, which is slightly less crazy then its musical partner. hugo uses dependable percussion, watery synth action and inviting vocals to create this musical treat. on the flip side, carola pisaturo brings us a moody version of strobo revenge that squeezes something else out of those whistles. she employs heads down percussion, vocal shards and smooth synths on her version. portable/bodycode heightens the intensity with a jackin rerub that sends the track in another direction completely. marching beats, acidic synths and hollow bass drops work wonders on abrahams revision

electric arguments is the first fireman album in 10 years, and this song based album couldnt be more different than its predecessors. for those who dont know by now, the fireman is a collaborative project between music icon paul mccartney and revered producer youth. the pair first worked together in the 90s when they made two ambient dance albums. originally the firemans identity was anonymous and was eventually revealed by the press as being paul and youth. in september it was announced that the fireman would this year release their first brand new material in a decade and this time there was a big difference - the duo had found their voice. speculation began, one studio insider was reported as saying the new songs sounds like arcade fire meets led zeppelin. certainly so far, anyone who has already heard the album has commented on just how accessible electric arguments is, compared to the first two fireman albums. this album is an eclectic and diverse collection of songs that show paul is still interested in pure musical possibilities. each track was written and recorded in the space of one day. the fireman went into the studio with no plan or clear direction of how they wanted the album to sound. the project took a life of its own and the results will surprise anyone expecting to hear the previous sound of the band.

original soundtrack of the never made movie >brotherman< from 1974.

amazing disco boogie holy grail was released on tim mabins own sapphire imprint back in 1984. because of the fact that tim was forced to work with a limited budget, he only could press up 500 copies, just a few copies were exported out of the country. this became a real crate diggers treasure, changing hands for $100 and more. we are really proud to offer you this official re-issue. jimmy jam is a true dance floor burner. solid lynn drum machine beats, fat grooving minimoog bassline, crazy synth work and amazing vocals make this tune a must have! the instrumental is included too. floorfiller

(dumb irresponsible youth), their new house-oriented project. sierra sam (toysforboys, einmaleins, trapez) and marcus vector (toysforboys, nomor, playground) recently released their first joint effort for contexterrior. working together once again, this time around theyve put aside their usual dark techno inclinations, opting instead for uninhibited house led by analog percussion sounds. drumroll, please… >pimp my saw< is a frenzy layers and layers of toms, kicks, steeldrums and clicks. >screw it up< is a more melodic affair, with the classic build-up and tension that defines classic house material, plus a hint of latino finesse. on the flip, >hammer of love< closes things out with a shuffly balance between the organic and the artificial, with looming atmospheric ambience to set a darker tone. these three tracks are the perfect tools to use where the sun dont shine.

sometime chicken lips collaborator and full time disco don stevie kotey keeps the momentum going on his longstanding and ever consistent imprint by going slightly off piste with the latest bearfunk 12inch. for my friends is the work of lusty zanzibar aka alex cordiner, cabaret voltaire fan and former holistic artist, and we re struggling to describe it effectively to be honest. its a simple concoction of fluttery synth riffs and fat bottom end, but has the sort of quirky melody that you just dont expect to hear in a noo disco record, or a house record for that matter. it is, however totally infectious, and destined to be one of bearfunks biggest of the year we reckon. solid mixes come from kotey and lusty himself, and all are dominated by the riff, as will your brain be after listening to this package a few times. beginning of the night, end of the night, all night, all aboard the wonky disco train to zanzibar
