comes on transparent vinyl, one blue the other pink coloured. code for mp3-download of this album included.

whilst some people claim that the number seven is lucky, some people, like duff, dont believe in luck, or if there is such a thing as luck you make your own. you cant rely on anyone else to hold your hand you know, you gotsta forge your own path, they arent called the mean streets for nothing. duff is the sort of man who not only makes his own luck (cos who else is gonna look after you?) but he keeps an eye on his bredren too. those in the neighbourhood feel safe because all is good in duffs hood, always has been, always will be, the police dont even come there, because they don’t have to, that block is on lock-down brother. though he isnt some type of machismo, over-the-top (hat back go-on sly) caricature, its just the way it is, nuthin to argue about. he has a way about him, the glare of a pitbull and the smile of don juan, dusty is his girl yep thats her real name, the name her mamma gave her on the day she was introduced to this world. the girl is fine thats for sure but what else would you expect from the honey that rides shotgun with the sonic casanova. she might call herself lucky. duff would disagree.

klas henrik lindbald aka sasse the man behind the moodmusic label headlining the scene since 1996 is now back on tep after his remix of your love alongside james flavour. sasse delivers a brillant track entitled the solaris conspiracy + a great ambient mix. on remix duties we have martin dawson under his king roc alias & francis inferno orchestra.

another epic seahawks voyage and this time theyre heading for the deep ocean of outer space. the results have been likened to the klfs chill out album performed by astroanuts. yep its that spacey but theres plenty of baked groove excursions along with the cosmic dinner jazz. imagine that instead of creating yah mo be there, michael mcdonald and james ingram hopped aboard a spaceship captained by sun ra and set the controls for alpha centauri. somewhere between the sea of tranquillity and the red heat of mars they find a party going on, klaus schulze is jamming with chic and peter frampton, kenny loggins is on bongos and the horn section from the doobie brothers are blowing soft and sweet but mike and jim have taken a whole lot of mind bending psychotropics and the music sounds like nothing theyve ever heard before. you are entering the seahawks universe, let your mind roam free. to ensure premium audio fidelity, the lp was mastered at abbey road and pressed at vinyl factory. as ever the artwork is beautiful and the edition is limited so get your skates on!

for this 11th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 3 fantastic trax done by todays hottest producers : massimiliano pagliara & rotciv. massimiliano p. has been responsible of delivering some of the best electronic tracks in those recent years on great labels such as balihu, rush hour, live at robert johnson & needwant. he teamed up for this special release with rotciv (from brazil) who made a name for himself with his special edits & has a very busy year with some upcoming 12 inches on d-edge, mister mistery & rebirth. their name is the rimshooters present >tha jackin theory< !!! heavily inspired by roland 909 chicago mythic drum machine, those guys deliver here 3 anthems, very close in spirit to tensnake & lee foss best work.. their sound is firmly rooted in proto-house and 80s r&b. with ingredients like ancient drum machines, arpeggiated melodies, and 80s pads, their connection boils over with a certain cheekiness that makes listeners grin from ear to ear. those 3 tracks have lots of groove and solid bouncy disco house beats and that piano (mmmhhh !!!). vocals arent the main event here but they do add another level showing some true disco production skills. this is surely going to be one of the biggest release this year & yep, you read right - this is only their first installment! stay tune

already played by sven väth, seth troxler. joris voorn, tiefschwarz, reboot... the london resident ross evana already excelled as dj at pacha nyc, at ministry of sound london or in the we love space series in ibiza. his track >thrilla in manila< first takes its time to build up before it sets a tremendously powerful exclamation mark on the dancefloor with its tropical-hypnotic percussions. with its second track, the ninth edition of cocoons 10 inch -series leads us to the land of the midnight sun. the two stockholm-born cousins alex caytas and aleks patz have started their musical collaboration only in 2007 but can already look back on a hand full of very good produced releases for the stuttgart-based label parquet recordings and the italian label caremella, as well as on remixes for martin dawson/king roc and voltique. >blue sea< shows the duos affinity to the energetic deep house techno of the nineties: with its organ sound, blues vocals and a highly infectous bass line, this track could almost pass as a modern and uncluttered version of st. germain, being predestined for warm summer nights. this is how techno sounds in 2011.

if you thought we were spoiling you with the last build release (baobinga & hyetals joint 12, loved and played by pretty much everyone), then you should probably look away now. yep, once again, the game has been upped most thoroughly: build006 sees guido, one of the most original talents to emerge from the fertile bristol scene, team up with genre-blind bass-music badman (and label boss) baobinga, for another collaborative 12&#8243,,, of impeccable quality and taste… and of course, weird artwork.
support from: crookers sinden jackmaster scratcha dva alex nut braiden simbad starkey geiom seb chew shortstuff, brackles, bok bok, hyetal, pinch etc…

lnas third release comes from the godfather of the underground all the way from brookyln, new york: namely the legendary jovonn. first tune >a definition of a track< makes use of driving beats combined with ethereal and jazz-like melodies that work together to create a hypnotic atmosphere. second track >space atmosphere< has a more infectious styling, with an ever-progressive melody against a firm groove that grabs the listener and the dance floor. also featuring remixes from the much revered two armadillos, giles smith of secretsundaze and martin dawson (king roc) have turned out a modern classic to nail any peak time dance floor. the second remix comes from the newly formed mankind project. expect more from them this year with two other eps in the pipeline. this ep is something rather special!

yep, onur engin on gamm...what a combo!
with two new killer edits onur is definitely making a name for himself within the re-edit scene.
first off we get a massive edit of freddie hubbards sunflower which is well known as the original to pepe bradocks deep house classic >deep burnt<. if jazz-funk with a slight disco touch is your bag ... look no further!
on the flip we got something for all the soul peeps. flowers >for real< is one of the most hard to find soul gems on the collecters market and here it gets a hot dj friendly touch by onur.
what a tune!

over the course of nine albums in the 2000s for their producer-led beat generation series, bbe adopted an unusual stance. >do what you want<, their artists were told for probably the first time in their careers. the labels enormously liberal approach was the antithesis of stiff major record label a&r practices, their forward thinking rewarded handsomely by a truly diverse set of albums from some of the worlds most capable hip-hop architects.

martin dawson (king roc) and glimpse have again joined forces to stunning effect with this crosstown rebels release replete with ewan pearson remix. a slice of pure mesmerising heart-warming house that is truly inspirational.

feat remixes by art department, wolf + lamb & sideshow. simple celebrates its 50th single release in the new year (and each one of those 50 have been released on that wonderful black stuff known to old people as vinyl). a release that will see the founder, a&r, label manager and tea boy will saul and his long term production partner tam cooper team up for a limited edition gatefold vinyl double pack ep (yep, theyll loose loads of money but not many people get to 50 vinyl releases without loosing their house, car and mind so we think its worth celebrating. the release will feature 4 new tracks from will & tam with remixes from wolf + lamb & slow hands, sideshow and art department (jonny white & kenny glasgow).

aaah lovely dovely, its that time of year again, the city is covered in snow, chestnuts are a roastin and wee little elves are working away busily pressing the annual home sweet home compilation for your listening and dancing pleasure. yep, its nearly that time of year again, the famed hsh new years rave at the arena/treptow in berlin is just around ye corner. yay! this year we have invited some dj and producer friends from berlin that are playing at the party to contribute to the compilation too! the lovely frenchmen shonky who has played at a few of our shindigs since moving to berlin and is known for his funky techno style has even named his track on a1 >madame moustache<, how very sweet ! snapping at his heels on b2 is our good friend from way up north (maybe he knows santa) and also a berlin resident agaric with his kicking track >after it all< which we are very pleased about. the flipside features some of our homies jens bond and tigerskin with a furious track on b1 followed by nico stojan our little bar 25 flirt with a nice melodic house track on a2 to round things off nicely.

yep. its back... !

hailing from lexington, kentucky, matt mason and rick nielsen, better known as the corduroy mavericks, are quickly smashing the stereotype that the midwest is lacking in prolific house music producers. with their quirky range of jazzy, soulful, techy, deep and funky house, new york, chicago, the west coast and other dance meccas have been put on notice via the sonic enthusiasm of a pair of corduroy-loving trailblazers from the bluegrass state.

deep teknologis t. williams is back with his biggest and best track to date.
following the t. williams ep (played and praised by sinden, kode9, 2562, brodinski, joy orbison, gerd janson and more), >heartbeat< sees him team up with terri walker, who earlier this year inked an album deal with none other than roc-a-fella records.

straight from cologne, we proudly debut with our first release on technology gap 001, with some deep as its gets straight up house music acompaning your personal summer madness. anyone wondering what oliver kochs breitbandkater projects all about need only turn to the eps opening cut, >warm and wet<, wherein the cologne-based producer proclaims, >i want the best for you / so everything i do / is house music.< yep, technology gap 001 is house music all right, and a particularly fine sampling of it too. the aforementioned >warm and wet< immediately declares itself an ep high point the moment its thumping bass pulse kicks in. sleekly designed, the cut begins with a tight minimal swing that swells into a jacking house fireball while serving up six minutes of chunky chords and cracking snares. the second track, >wonder why<, tips the balance in a slightly more soulful deep house direction when monojoe spreads an exuberant vocal ove r breitbandkaters lush backing. warm chords and a sweetly grooving pulse provide a soft cushion for some old-school cymbal patterns and a radiant synth hook in the smooth stormer. adopting a slightly more atmospheric approach, with house group of the hour, morning factory winds up the ep with a trippy remix of >warm and wet< which finds kochs vocal drifting through the slow-building mix in a semi-entranced daze. lovers of classy deep house should no doubt find much to admire about breitbankaters three-tracker. go hunt, its good for you

it only takes one listen to jee days >like a child< – and its whirling, hypnotic rush – to recognize the know-how that has made studio whiz dennis dj mcnany a go-to source in new york citys dance music scene. over the last decade, the sound architect has become a musical jack-of-all-trades: fine tuning releases from outfits such as the rapture and turing machine, working on early output from dfa records, maintaining his own run roc label, remixing artists like panthers, ghostape and digable planets ladybug mecca, and contributing keyboards and percussion on tour with the juan maclean. in light of the already impossibly long list of credits to mcnanys name (including the numerous pseudonyms under which he has released his own music) the jee day debut 12 inch is a bit like a first listen to an artist who audiences, ironically, have already heard many times before.

part 3 of the structure vinyl series

clouded vision is turbo recordings and bugged out! resident matt walsh and partner, steve cook. after remixes for the likes of moby, cari lekebusch and brodinski on turbo, plus further releases for toob, we have band, king roc, johnny dynel and the golden filter to name a few, they now have their first full ep. neon rain is a slow tempo dark disco number and is backed with remixes from dissidents the niallist and astronomer. the niallist takes the track into space cosmic summerness and astronomer adds some big synth patterns, an emotional breakdown and even a rain sample. this is the first of a series of clouded vision releases with the upcoming outside ep with remixes from 4o thieves and photonz!

simply put the beltram remix is massive. floor killer. bass for days and programming mastery.
londons king roc throws down a deep dirty mix. organ pad layered with full sub attack.

yep, thats right. synth pop sensations heartbreak remixed by the horrors. tom furse from the horrors has a fearsome collection of analogue synths and used them to rebuild this track from heartbreaks debut album from the ground up, and a killer job hes done too. as ali and sebastian from heartbreak both release on dissident their label lex thought it would be a good idea if dissident did the 12 inch release. obviously due to the nature of this release and the addition of the combined horrors / heartbreak fanbase its pretty much an instant collectors item and will fly out of the door at a fair old rate of knots so please make sure you order enough to keep everyone happy, i doubt well have any of these left by the end of the week. the clip is taken from the second half of the track as it turns into a glorious cosmic synthesizer orgy, theres plenty of arpeggiated trackiness before it gets to this bit

dogmatik return with a brand new ep from one of the imprints leadinglights, maya jane coles. coles previous releases sick panda and the low key ep have seen her garnering support from the likes of thomas schumacher, audiofly, ivan smagghe and king roc whilst her band she is danger is hotly tipped as one to watch. on the remix we have afrilounges take on the track colours. the german trio, who have recorded for connaisseur, poker flat and 8bit, turn in a superb slice of tech house with a tight rhythm section and subtle building sonic layers.

minimal acidic electro-breaks that make the crowd go mad!

panthers used to play aggressive post hardcore before their style morphed into a somewhat sober version of anthemic stoner rock. they released albums on both troubleman and vice records. goblin city is the lead track from their second record, the trick. holy ghost! requested to work on goblin city. they then delivered one of the most relentlessly snappy disco dubs in quite some time. panthers also asked run roc to do a mix of the song and he came up with an excellent old school acid house version. this single is a true dfa family affair, bringing together good friends, musicians, and creative allies from the past and for the future. family reunions are not supposed to be this much fun.

two tracks which have been tested to satisfaction in live sessions around the globe during the last months, loved by the girls, envied by the boys, two dense character studies of epic scale where every small detail morphs into a very hookline, relaxed and ambitious at the same time. yep, this guy could even produce a soundtrack to a speck of dust and still everybody would think it’s star wars.
