mabaan soul are back on metroline limited with their third release for the label. the talented italian duo have been causing a stir in the house and techno underground world with their 2009 release on metroline being charted by chicago legend dj sneak in his best of the year chart! on top of that, another house legend satoshi tomiie after hearing their debut new orleans ep on metroline limited, promptly asked the guys to release on his label saw recordings! the opening track joseph is jacking disco groove with an insistent bass hook and infectious lead synth. summer is nearly here! frankfurt, is a love song for the original robert johnson crew - the good people of frankfurt who really know what they’re dancing to. its an intense 5am grind that brings driving european warehouse techno together with the deep soulful grooves of detroit house. inxec and matt tolfrey pump up the midrange on their remix. they pick out a nice groove, and build on it with bright and airy percussion while maintaining the original disorientating shuffle and boomin low end. funky is definitely back. that rolling bassline keeps you locked in, and those brutal mpc-style percussion loops are would make marley marl proud.
180gr vinyl! matt edwards and joel martin need no introduction. these guys are serious music heads and on this, their first release for international feel, their deep rooted musicality shines through.

incredilbe package with remixes by schatrax, kink, todd sines as .xtrak, kink and the subliminal kid. the result of schatrax take is a typically beautiful and deep reworking. todds remix of dodaso is typically fucked up and funky in true .xtrak style. kinks version of the gauntlet remains quite faithful to the original whilst also instilling it with his own trippy and unique style. last year peder mannerfelt, aka the subliminal kid, sent me a track which became the only track released on off-key through a demo submission. blackwood freestyle has mutated under the hands by the subliminal kid into a rolling dub inflected groover.
matt flores recent/upcoming releases on labels like compost black, combination, third ear and of course farside put him in the focus of the worldwide house circle. actually >tempted< was produced by matt with the concept of an album in mind. even more glad that he has been assured by the idea that the track has to be out on 12inch vinyl. heartfelt, kickin and deep, >tempted< might be one of the greatest tunes that ever saw the light out of matt flores metaworld universe. get caught by the beautiful harmonies and the demanding groove
inally matt is going to unleash his much anticipated follow-up release on weave musics sister label. produced in the mood of this years arctic winter with tons of snow all over the country, it seems like matt had transformed that special vibe of cold dark days n nights into the noise making machines of his studio.
after thomas brinkmanns first new ep since long, its now time for the second curle offering of 2010. 3 of the most relevant producers all on one vinyl. big!
lurking in the back of every transportation vehicle there allways is someone who is up to no good... someone who vandalizes other peoples property & wrecks havoc everywhere he goes. their called lowlifes... bullies of the city... scum of the earth! they dont give a shit about anybody else. just thinking where they re at now and how they can raise hell in any possible way. matt-u has stood up and offered his dope ep as a meaning of destruction upon the non believers. the a side deliveres chaos unlike we ever seen before. people pulling and hitting each other, turning themselves into scum of the night... not giving a shit about the rest. flip it over to b1 for heads up - it ll be the last time anything happens unnoticed. keeping the scum people focused and ready for action. take cover keeps everything in check, the announcer warns people of this terrible threat thats gripping itself among the crowds. so run like crazy if you want to be safe. this is not a drill!!

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...

the third release on phonica records is a no-nonsense dancefloor burner from matt tolfrey and d. ramirez, with a stunning remix from lauhaus. >bounce to me< is an exquisitely stripped-back jack track, propelled along by clipped vocal samples, deep chord stabs and funked-up percussion - as the title suggests, its all about the bounce. thats really all you need to know: this piece of music has been built for the sole purpose of dancefloor devastation and will do the job every time. matt tolfrey is the boss of leftroom recordings and one of the uks most compelling young dj/producers, with releases on crosstown rebels and viva music among others. d. ramirez is of course the sheffield-based producer behind numerous hit tracks for labels like four:twenty and his own slave recordings. the flipside remix comes from underground hero lauhaus, a dutch producer whos made quite a name for himself with his muscular productions for labels like remote area and intacto. here he toughens and tightens tolfrey and ramirezs original >bounce to me< into a rolling techno groove, adding real drama and forward thrust with crisp hi-hats and stacatto percussion. the soundtrack to late summer has arrived. bounce!
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.

10 years ago toronto’s matt thibideau (aka altitude/coordinates) contributed one of the finest tracks in cynosure history. today matt returns with three brand new cuts and a re-mastered version of the cyn001 classic track entitled “archenar”. asphalt starts things off with a cutting edge syncopated groove that precisely reflects the cynosure sound over the years. a minimal, swingin, synth stab work out giving you the right amount of funk. archenar smooths things out with some lush pads and a dreamy reverb on the drums creating a subtle washed effect, perfect for the early morning blur. but let’s not forget to mention the killer ms-20 sub bass line.. ahhh so deep. icebox comes next with some icy precision fm syncopation in the mix. accompanied by matt’s signature classic synth percussion grooves. full of melody and warmth this track would melt most refrigerators down. last but not least the outside b track entitled 30 story drop. following suite with matt’s previous releases on blue records under the alias altitude 30 story drop dives deep into basic channel influenced dub and drops some serious bass. matt thibideau’s return to the label has been long anticipated and proves that cynosure’s mandate of releasing timeless uncompromising music is still very much alive 10 years on

the into the night ep is a wonderful deep, slow & moving record that should be one of the highlights in this years autumn sessions. into the night kicks off with some wild pitch – alike chords and builds up soulful, moody but strong. tectonic move is so damn groovy and might be one the funkiest trax ever coming out of the metaworld universe of matt flores. also the tempo of almost 120 bpm is sexy as hell... all percussions & the bass are played live by matt flores. “tectonic move” also features some extatic detroitish synths that makes you scream. a definitive winner! the tectonic move flores & saenger dub has been rearranged a bit by matt flores and farsides ingo saenger (one half of westpark unit). they stripped the tune, put more focus on the groove and re dubbed all harmonies & synths. the result is a funky smokers riddim for all you dubby tool headz out there.
