nice upbeat jazz-inflected chicago house

nice price deal !!! this second release from glasgows fortified recordings is a departure in sound from their first acclaimed ep by dundees loops haunt, but all the same in attitude. iranian born, texas residing garagesmith vvv uses his late night musical tests to forge and perfect his sonic output, and deploys a range of techniques not normally found in the often formulaic world of garage and dubstep. this patchwork quilt of laced beats, field recordings and intensive sample editing has made manifest a four track ep that simultaneously references the work steve gurley, todd edwards, carl craig, my bloody valentine, the cocteau twins and roy davis junior via the bastardised strains of 2-step and house practiced by the likes of ramadanman, untold and joy orbison, peppered with that magic elusive el_b swing that only the greats are able to achieve. at the same time familiar yet different (how many times have you heard that?), the four tracks on projects kick with the intensity of the best club music and invokes the cosmic spirit of classic motor city techno with an uplifting and deep soulful vibe that reveals layers of orchestrated natural sound upon repeated listens. in other words, its sexy as fuck. slated for an official release early march , one can only assume this limited 12inch will fly off the shelf much like fortified s inaugural release did

the loop:
this nice, funky, underground and late night beat eddie put down represents his origins of funky detroit house fillers … also, columbia style vox sample is a killer on the floor for the best djs with skills ...
let my nuts hang:
eddie fowlkes should change his last name to funky … the whole track is letting his nuts hang for 24 years of putting out release! the groove is out cold, plus what eddie is saying in the track is really true!

musik gewinnt freunde begrüßt mit der #012 einen neuen künstler auf seinem liebevoll geführten label. adriano filippucci gilt derzeit zwar als geheimtipp ist aber alles andere als ein neuling. mit einem background als pianospieler und jazzmusiker sowie fundierten kompositionskenntnissen ist der junge italiener mehr als vielversprechend. seine city lights ep bestätigt die vorfreude: deep und warm, mit rhythmen die aus der hüfte kommen, hat er hier ein par tranks abgeliefert, deren drive einen einfach nicht loslassen.

return to form (take that, haters!) hits at the body repeatedly, slamming away with a lack of abandon and a new sense of protocol. major stars are known for being psychedelic rock journeymen (and journey lovin women), but of late, their rocks psych roots seem to be dyed platinum white, with a truckers cap shoved on top of the whole mess. its jukebox ready hard rock with a hallucinogenic edge, sure ? or perhaps its just the impact of their triple guitar git down, causing your head to throb with concussive force? dont worry, long time star children ? these guys still jam, but they ve got short numbers too, and wailing, roadhouse vocals sailing over the punch ups. a terrific variety, but a return to form? pffft! what form? these guys have been in plasma state forever! whatever form it takes, thats what it is. and major stars are presently shining on in white dwarf style ? compacted, but with a violent gleam.

grant nelsons mighty swing city rightly has a reputation in the industry for releasing nothing but the finest house music – since its inception in 95, swing city has been a benchmark label for many of todays leading producers to aim for, with its distinct mix of vocal, dubby & just downright awesome tracks. their first vinyl release of 2010 offers a rare peek into some of their unreleased classics – never seen before, and featuring remixes from jazz n groove, warren clarke and of course grant himself.

ltd backstock, for fans of revenge & greg wilson!! frankie foncett, one of ministry of sounds first resident djs teams up with the kosmetiq boys for an exquisite lesson in what happened when disco went electronic. pure class, this is already finding itself on the playlists of the cooler jocks, riding the crest of the 80s boogie revival. file under electro-funk as this evokes happy memories of new york in its heyday, city heat are the real deal

another hot limited marcellus pittman release with 3 tracks. already been played by theo parrish and omar s. dirty raw house tracks from detroit! on a dark dance floor you will be given a glimpse into the heart and mind of marcellus pittman. fit sound, a new imprint from detroit,debut with an ep from the talented detroit producer marcellus pittman. erase the pain, is a mutated acid banger carefully arranged to be absolutely devastating when in the right hands. twisted bass lines and synths travel together and divert over a fierce jacking beat. sync is a night drive through the city streets, but this night is strange because the sky has become purple. grey buildings turn into unrecognizable forms. people standing on street corners, now appear to be zombies lurking in the darkness. is this a nightmare or is this for real? illa 5 ela brings it all back to the days when you first felt love for that special somebody. early white labels copies have been tested in clubs worldwide and the results are unanimous: killer. follow theo parrishs advice, dont sleep...serious rugged service right here!

re-release der classic punkrockband the bristles aus schweden. 16 tracks, aufgenommen zwischen 1982-1984.

prime numbers are back with e11.... the latest in the pn e.p series. three exclusive tracks by mr scruff & kaidi tatham, motor city drum ensemble and andrés! this time we feature a heavyweight collaboration between mr scruff & kaidi tatham who provide a smouldering jazz-house production with kaidi leading the way on keys and flute on top of a chunky, bottom-heavy groove. motor city drum ensemble drops a killer raw cut. a heavily smashed jackin’ disco workout with all the markings of a fine cajual dub or early striclty rhyhtm. the track oozes soul and is unpretentiously aimed at the dancefloor. once again danilo plessow proves less is more. andrés completes the line up with a cheeky blend of some classic ingredients. sounding like a track from his early releases, “jack city” has all the essential hallmarks of the andrés sound with an excellently simple but purely effective fusion of house and hiphop ethics

7 oz. records has come to its 4th release in vinyl. label founders siddharta and mr. rovat have finally put the last touches to their musical debut with windy city lights, an explicit dedication to the sound which influenced them in the 90s. its an ep which relives those chicago and detroit atmospheres, enhanced by the solo trumpet played by acclaimed musician omar valle, who gives it a unique jazzy mood intertwined with drum machines and old school tools, an attempt to have the record play in an analogic manner.
the remix was handed over to none other than to brothers vibe, an historical name in the north-american deep and house scene. the result is filled with dub echos, undoubtedly detroit and perfect for any set!

having taken care of business in spectacular fashion with his carnage track on mote-evolver back in september, ortin cam is back with more of his trademark floor-shaking futuristic techno!!

the yore captain returns to his own yore imprint on the labels 21st release. shadow city presents different visions of funky house grooves. the a sides the y theme gets deeply moving with a funky house pulse before stoking the fire with the addition of speaking voices (trippingly intoning the q&a what are we doing this for? and the music), a move which single-handedly jumpstarts the track. after the voices appear, the grooves intensity escalates and plunges deeper, its gyroscopic house swing becoming more dizzying and torrential with each passing bar before coming to an acidy storming end. in its opening moments, shadow city opts for a deeper and more serenading vibe by comparison, but thats traded in for a slinkier attack at the three-minute mark that grows progressively more ferocious as the track makes its drastic upwards ascent. a trippin dangerous murder weapon to say the least. watch your heads! the b sides b2 track, mumbai dweller keeps the focus primarily on the bottom end, specifically a strutting tribal-house funk groove thats dragged even deeper by a throbbing bass undertow, adding dark chords to it, giving this ep a darker feeling towards the end. to sum it all up: this is raw house music at its best!

our man ryo murakami sends over the next transmission in his exciting and growing catalogue of productions. always inspired by the raw and soulful sound of chicago and new york, this next ep puts forward his vision and continuation of this timeless house feeling. lead track >just for this< is a wonderful celebration of heavy slow motion house. classic house references and even a few classic samples meet in a dirty, deep ride into the tweaked out and extended vibes of the late night people. a journey through the city of house, a perfect refl ection of the times, bringing warmth and light in a once colder world. graeme clark aka the revenge, a fi gure who has enjoyed much success with his deviant disco sound, steps up for remix duties - and a fi ne job he does too! building his mix from the bare bones, adding a little more pace and forward momentum, his version is also tightly bound within the roots of emotional, deep vibes house. this is an outstanding remix - functional, clear and fully devoted to the classic sound. on the b side a mysterious original, >untitled<, sees ryo pushing things a little further still. the energy levels climb higher and higher as this modern hypno-houser phases and pulses upwards over nearly 8 minutes of jacking, sample laden freshness. we love to visit ryos house, where everybodys welcome and theres smiles all round

nice jackin house track with cool sampling action by serbian artist, who already released on dj mes guesthouse music label!!

electric city (original) is a classic industrial techno track combining the driving force of relentless beats and bass with the huge rooms the that roland drum machines open up when you put massive reverb on them. its hypnotic and psychotic sounds appeal to the primal side, driving you to forget about coolness and unconditionally express yourself to the beat. uplifiting and dark at the same time, electric city echoes the high tech metropolitain dystopia we live in today. >echoes< presents itself with a forward marching industrial beat, piercing synth lines, and sweat inducing rhtymic patterns. its psycho bleeps are pure industrial funk. when the vocal sets in youll feel the relief on the dancefloor as the straight forward groove brings out the primal need to put your energy and emotion into expression: dance. function s remix of electric city is dark !!

factor city is proud to welcome on board berlin-based producer alexander kowalski with this >puesta de sol<. alexs accomplishments need no introduction, we all know his productions and his amazing live act. hes been years producing cuts of cutting-edge techno for the likes of kanzleramt or different. now he just launched his own label damage berlin. his debut in factor city >puesta de sol< is an enormous peak-time club killer. on the flip stimming remix shows why hes one of the rising producers at this time. his rework of >puesta de sol< is just another step forward. he delivers a stripped down warehouse version full of tension and surely another hit.

after a brief hiatus, we return with a delicate slice of wax that epitomises what ldr stands for ? new, original music from hardworking, young artists. after the success of datas >blowpipe< on ld5 and a string of genre-busting releases on labels like metalheadz, critical, revolution and tempa, data brings us a grimy gem in the form of >liberty city blues<. incident from hungary and paul sg from austria blew us away with this track which featured on our recent knowledge magazine cover cd mix.
>liberty city blues< is a minimalistic piece of jungle music reminiscent of early photek or source direct. from the outset the tune just bubbles with menace and keeps on building and evolving throughout. a pure bass-heavy slice of proper jungle.
>autumn drops< is a soulful roller that shows that this crew are ones to watch in 2010. full of melancholy, icy vibes and a subtle basslinethat gets right under your skin, this track is a firm favourite for this year.
