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.

>faith< is a breathtaking longplayer that is produced from the early points in my life where house music at the time between 1994-1998 was more open and free without styles clashing and everyones sound was being admired. the productions and concepts for this projects was created by...

many deeply-rooted house influences from blaze to larry heard
to early 1990 strictly rhythm housegrooves witth strong influences of jazz
to intelligent new jakbeat tracks with less noise clatter and more
soft-cushioned toned multi-melodies and vocals.
faith is a creation from all of my life experiences
also everyone s life in general.
the world we live in..
the struggles
death
life
parenthood
finance to survive
sharing
friendship/relationship
this is the story which unfolds thru emotional emancipation manifestion....
then the alternative thoughts....

beautiful
melodically high
strong
vital,
true,
natural,
incarnated ..

its more than a house album, its a complete story...
with jtc singing vocals. myself(traxx) singing vocals
and nancy fortune singing vocals on my album..

one of the best aspects in music is, that it provides a perfect platform to build up networks, to communicate about common interests or to create a certain feeling of coherence. sharing this ideal it s no wonder leipzig based artist marc depulse, already well known for his productions on kiddaz.fm or ostwind adds his first release to our blufin community.

gerard hanson hails from the unlikely environments of dallas, texas usa. his music has influences from derrick may, stefan robbers, red planet and carl craig.. he released his first 12inch in 1995 on matrix / detroit. after that he released on labels like tektite recordings, down low, ai records, frustrated funk, frantic flowers and aw recordings. he is very careful about sharing his music with the rest of the world. in the last decade he only used the aliases convextion and e.r.p. (event related potential). e.r.p is an electro-edged moniker....

without a doubt, chicago native huge hephner has garnered quite the reputation as an international playboy - pimpin and whorin his way into the electronic music worlds stream of consciousness. however, behind the tough guy persona is a highly underrated producer with an unbridled passion for music and love of the analog gear he uses to produce such increasingly in-demand sounds. it is this perversion that lends meaning to the title of his debut album, nymphotech, released on none other than the label that helped launch his career, siteholder records. unflinching in its house vibe, yet relentless in its dance floor attack, nymphotech is a highly impressive debut album by a producer who continues to up his game with each successive release. hephner kicks off part one of a two-part vinyl album sampler with the chugging acid burner sharing the same title as the album. nothing less than 4 a.m. packed club material, to play nympotech at any other time would be a failure to recognize this bombs full potential. jack n coke is undoubtedly huges nod to his hometowns house legacy, showcasing a flirtatious bass line that screams funk in all caps. wheres the acid? fans of hephner might ask. leave that up to freaky $ean da don, featuring the vocal debut of huges body guard and reputed hitman who bears the same name as the tracks title. if nymphotech is any indication of whats to come from mr. hephner, we can only hope huge will manage to stay out of jail long enough to produce a follow-up

two great edits produced by rotterdams loud-e (who previously did an amazing edit release on magick edits & bear funk). this disco connaisseur is sharing some of his sickest and hottest edits, made out of several tracks which once were available as b-side, as obscure library album or just in very limited quantities. he is one of those young guys influenced by the scene around clone and cbs and dj’s such as i-f & baldelli. but now its his time to shine with some amazing edit work! hey mr dj!!! this song is just for you!

not only is franklin sharing his flat with yapacc these days, hes also remixing the likes of peter grummich, colorswitch, ricardo villalobos or pheek, the berlin resident is also releasing constantly persuasively arranged and produced music on crack & speed, sender, trapez, immigrant and on his own imprint the green empire (which is he co-running also with his long-time friend yapacc). >this is probably the best cadenza release which hasnt been released on cadenza<, said a journalist a week ago - and who are we to deny this? these two tracks are beautifully towering tripped-out, post-minimal techno pieces which are not only suitable for late night moments.

the second ep on console music comes from the bubbling with talent eastern block! the slovenian veztax, known for his numerous releases and dj performances sharing stage with massive acts such as depeche mode, teams up with the young talent aneuria to deliver the two minimal techno slammers on the a side and sun40 remix on the flip

hammered by: david phillips, sebastian leger, mike monday, nudisco, fex, martin eyerer…. german label combi int kicks off 2007 with three crispy minimal tracks, aiming straight at the dancefloor. well, what also could one expect from a 12 inch called >tony der schieber< (tony the pusher). in charge of combi ints fifth release is frankfurt producer reboot aka frank heinrich, who adds a dark tech-flavour to the labels versatile profile. building up slowly >tony der schieber< is a track rich of detailed rhythm- and sound-programming. no wonder that this guy is sharing his studio with promising cocoon-artists ingo boss and chris tietjen.

according to a friend from new york, nick chacona is into hugging, the smurfs, biting people and feeling really guilty about it the next day, chewing his moustache, shaving his head, cleaning up cat piss, noodling disco, crying and sharing. well, he forgot to mention that he’s also been recording some of the finest house music to come out of nyc since 2001. his angel dust swan dive on bear funk back in 2005 established him on the international scene but hes also recorded for labels as respected as compost, mood music, greyhound and 20:20 vision. this release sees him delve deep into the guitar dub house that sits so sweetly on bear funk gold, the regenerated id for a regenerated bear funk. a cambria heights affair is sure to please

island people is a new band project consisting of mastering engineer conor dalton, grammy award winning producer david donaldson, and musician and dj graeme reedie. on their first self- titled record, they present their collaborative work that evolved over the past three years. being based in different cities, namely berlin and glasgow, files had to be exchanged back and forth between the three band members in order to create tracks. for their delicate sound structures, field recordings and other sound sources were heavily processed and rendered unrecognizable. layer after layer, the tracks came into being quiet naturally, not only reflecting their continuous way of working, but also incorporating their different and individual backgrounds: Òduring the whole creation of the album, we never realized our actions were quickly leading us into forming Èisland peopleÇ, we were too busy having fun, making music and sharing ideas.Ó the result of their collaboration is a timeless music that is as open as a natural phenomenon, developing a certain feeling of euphoria over time. all in all, Èisland peopleÇ is a pure listening record in the best tradition of ambient.
