one of the most promising artists that has come out of amsterdam over the years, david labeij, has recently had more time to focus on his solo career now that polder, his live act with lauhaus, is an established and high quality techno outfit, with an album on shinedoes intacto imprint and many singles to their and his name. where the infamous polder groove is aimed at blowing up dancefloors, labeijs solo tracks are more on the hypnotic side of techno and house, as each track on this release demonstrates, as well as plenty of bouncing and playful basslines. labeijs sets - live and dj - are notorious for their mesmerizing qualities, and he is rapidly gaining international grounds with his distinct and captivating take on dance music, so we hope you enjoy this release

opening up the first of two wicker & steel remix eps is clr’s tommy four seven, a producer whose own debut album came out to a great response earlier this year. tommy switches start chopping’s 4/4 rhythms for his own broken beat foundation and adds a whole new world of bass to the track. the original’s pads echo around the soundscape as each break brings back a tougher version of the beat.

in a time when rock critics saw the prodigy as a glorified keyboard player flanked by a couple of weird and scary dancers, liam howlett & co showed the world how dance had evolved away from the club scene and into the festivals & arenas.
and they did that by staying true to their own sound. while dance moved from acid house to rave to ambient to breakbeat & drum n bass, the prodigy changed their brand of hard-hitting breakbeat with king-sized hooks and unmissable samples only sparingly.
always outnumbered, never outgunned was the long-awaited album after their breakthrough smash fat of the land. featured on the album are namesake liam gallagher, kool keith, twista and even juliette lewis, morphed and wrangled beyond recognition on an album that goes back to the core of what the prodigy stands for: a thumping bass, mad beats & noise flying every which way but loose!

its only natural that martyn has risen above the cliches and pitfalls of the vacuous dj world. over his 15 years djing, 6 years producing, and 4 years a&ring his 3024 imprint, the holland-born / washington dc-based artist has forged his own path every step of the way. his multi-leveled career has kept balance with a focus on art, and his every sacrifice is preserved in an endless dedication to music. as a continual record buyer and beat seeker, martyn is a beacon of hope through leagues of passion-less djs and producers, the ghost people: plastic, hollow shells that focus only on the in-the-now grooves or keeping in line with trends.
double 12 inch white vinyl in gatefold cover, including code for free digital download of the full album.

jax is a collective of like-minded artists, musicians, thinkers movers and booty-shakers, who believe there is more to records than just some grooves engraved into black plastic. their vision is to treat each release as a presentation in itself, complete with original and individual artwork, features and an exhibition. each production will feature artwork shown in a cube of about 8 cubic meters. every record-released will be strictly-limited to 500 copies, which includes a poster referencing the piece made by the artist! daniel roth was born in seeheim near frankfurt. he started to experiment with different styles of electronical music using an akai mpc and a juno 106 in 1997. by this time he wasnt thinking of making music his profession. he then started his studies in skulpturing at the städel in frankfurt. after having finished art school he took up producing music again, influenced by his art and contemporary dance music styles. with his jax release he showcases his ability to combine different elements with his unique touch.

daniel solar is one half of dikso, the excellent edits imprint responsible for many a disco-rinsed dancefloor burner over the last year. the hannover native is also one of berlins emergent talents, a dj, producer, label owner and a&r intent on bridging the gap between disco and dance music, while coaxing the techno-loving citys tastes a little further off the beaten track.
as a child of the early 80s, daniel was strongly influenced by synth pop and dance music, before rap and hip hop caught his imagination and inspired his first forays into production. once he had finished school, daniel became more and more and intrigued with house and techno, clubs and raves, and his studio style expanded to take in electro, techno, and deep house until we arrive at today and his latest release: too much light ep.

following their first release, which featured four brand new artists, the guys over at disconnected are back with dscntd 002.
