the second part of the >what about talk about< series by baaz starts with >owls night<. a deep house tool with a vigorous bassline, some classic 909 elements, weird vocals and a pumpin piano chord. >those things< the second track on the a, infects you with positive vibrations and the magic mood. the b side enters with a remix by the highly skilled producer michel bauman under his moniker soulphiction. he turned the track called k.m.s. into an emotional and strong kicking house tune. a cut for the special moments. the original is produced by iron curtis & baaz . 90 bpm, a dippy pipe organ, wooden beats and shaky percussions. the last track >whatabouttalkabout< is a lush experimental listening slice, prober for the dark and chilly winterdays.

the deeper sister to tic tac toe, connect four is back with a new ep from german producer dub taylor aka tigerskin aka alex krüger. he has been crafting away in this warm, deep house realm for years under a number of different aliases, always weaving plenty of liquid grooves with a steady house pulse. the two original tracks served up here continue in that fine tradition.

as we all know, there is a first time for everything. in this case, its even a debut for both: the tensnake co-run label mirau and iron curtis.

after a long silence iron curtis returns with his magic. thoughts on is the producer’s debut single for 4lux. proper house and disco tracks! the original mix of thoughts on is a banging deep house joint with haunting melodies and cut up vocals. the 2012 version provides for a more jumping bassline and hard hitting straight forward beats. iron curtis goes mental on oh come on with his cut up and vibe-heavy jazz samples and heavy pounding 808 beats. relentless! on interlude in the park the lights are dimmed and the tempo drops. a slow disco burner for those who love slow jams.

the lyrics are again deeply personal and in many cases the songs speak of struggle, redemption and again, struggle. luke explains in his own words, the first record i made has a very homeless or wild-west feel to it and this new one is filled with addresses and luxuries.

joel boychuk aka hobo takes us on a tour of the iron triangle this winter, when the canadian producer releases his debut album on minus - a destination point for the techno artist whose very name embodies both the restless spirit of his productions and his journey from being one half of the former minus duo tractile, to being a recognized star performer in his own right.

nice price deal !!! a killer first release on flight recorder. we present label founder iron blu who drops a 4-tracker of deep, stripped back detroit-tinged techno. side a opens with an intense drum-driven, string-laden stomper, whilst the second track continues with a growling bass holding the alien stabs and scattering snares together. side b goes deeper, with endless eye navigating a deep bass beneath sweet strings and angular synths, then the final track goes into dub realms and even deeper.

tamed music had a flying start with their debut release (ft one of our favorite ripperton tracks and topped with a fresh skudge remix!). and no disappointment for the second release either! ripperton comes with another vocal track (vocals by van hai) that is more house orientated as the previous release, but still has that nice moody laidback vibe of the tmq001. almost dubby feel combined with the gentle voice of van hai makes it a standout release. comes with hot remix action of margaret dygas and iron curtis. sweet package ... expected to sell out as rapidly as the the first tamed music!

house is the cure return with part 3 of the we get by series. featuring tracks by andre lodemann, iron cutris, kink and ethyl & flori. large!

nice price deal !!! excellent 4 track ep with groove nyc influenced disco

ramona loves roman. roman loves ramona. the two just cant help it. naturally, the desperate housemen ep is his second 12-inch effort for live at robert johnson and a showcase of his versatility. like a crosspollination of his efforts as solyent green, roman iv or under his original name, you get four distillates of house music, cold wave and frankfurt-style electro-funk. distinctive, sparkling, 4x4 and paying attention to detail, this is like an update of the unpredictability that once made a nu groove record so exciting, fresh and not desperate at all. truly romantic!

50 releases in six years! to celebrate this fact we release this special compilation with a great diversity of styles, ranging from disco to deep house and tech house. all tracks made exclusively for this album. this is the vinyl edition with 3 of the best tracks taken from the 15 track album. as we have always been pushing new young talent on dirt crew we also take this compilation to introduce to you some very exciting guys to look out for, first up is plan d aqua from holland with an amazing deep disco monster and second new face is the tortoise from melbourne with his deep disco/ house sound. he recently put out his first record on the fantastic 3rd stike records. we are also very proud to have our favorite producer and friend on the compilation with an exclusive track. mr. iron curtis has released awesome tracks in the last year on various labels and with >brthrs< again proves to be one of gemanys most promising young deep house artists.

excellent deep and classic chicago house stuff, well done...

jackoff 001: iron curtis just (and them) - wicked stuff! including falko brocksieper remix - hell yeah!

following on from the superbly received debut release, waiting game, sudden drop produces the goods once more with a split release thats destined to go down well with the more discerning dj.

ready for the next hit of dirt crew goodnes, our fellow berliner mano le tough presents his great mix of disco and house. with his earlier release on >mirau< and most recently on the brilliant label >internasjionel< he proved to be a hot newcomer in the scene. here on dirt crew hes ready to top that with two great original tracks and three stunning remixes from jacob korn (permanent vacation, dolly), iron curtis (mule, mirau) and the woderfull deep disco kings from new york holmar filipsson and ulysses (nang, bearfunk). a tremendous collection of deep hitters!

3 deep yet punching house tracks on this under the shade affiliated label. very cool mix by mr iron curtis too! get on board!

pablo bolivar is a respected artist of the spanish scene, no wonder why he already has publish two amazing albums. in dynamo you can listen to a smooth organ that touches your soul,an incredible deep house tune to be played when the sun is just about to come out, a good reason why deep house will always last forever.

iron curtis is a berlin based young producer. his debut release on tensnakes mirau was supported a lot from many djs and deetron picked his track to his mix cd on music man. this his third release contains three unique touch detroitish house tracks. title track of >großreuth 1< is a winner of this ep. it reminds old school detroit house track and simply effective in the club. this track will be useful dj tool for any house and techno djs. >save the night<, >80 g< on the opposite side are little bit more deep house style. i would like to recommend these tracks to the fan of underground quality or that kind of underground house.

2 more killer cuts after the massive success of # 53 !

dark voices guard him, while isaiah makes his way through the deep techno forest.

the iron man grinds his way through dark and trippy technogrooves.

carefully arranged minimal electroism meets laid-back vocals by dasha rush. the soundtrack of a day.

iron curtis pieces originate in a place simultaneously tuned to the sounds of detroit, chicago and hamburg. in his home town of nürnberg, johannes paluka is more familiarly known under his surname, which he goes by at the turntable. intertwining deep-house with soulful techno in a disturbingly enchanting manner, his sound moves in the equilibrium of reduced, but never minimal. flashes of kitsch brighten the dark universe of iron curtis, but fail to interfere with the melancholy subtext. profound music for the dance floor!
