in the world of factory presets, default settings and copy-paste ethics, there are few artists that actually care to make a difference. and -who told you that?-, 29th release on warsaw recognition label, is certainly a voice to be heard. the title track is another subtle narrative from label boss jacek sienkiewicz. eerie chord and a solid, damp beat from the start are underpinned by sherds of dialogue - snippets of words and laughter keep coming back in the mix, providing some sort of uneasy commentary towards todays minimal house formula. but at some point the voices disappear - and then the tracks gently goes somewhere outside the boundaries of todays club music, somewhere otherworldly. this shift, albeit amazingly subtle, is a leap towards music free of any defined context, far beyond dancefloor and definitely original. if this sneak peak into the possible futures of manmachine induced visions is too much to handle, there is still the b-side of this release. two tracks here - both clocking around mere 5 minutes - are prime exercises in compact, clever, tight and efficient club tools. uplifting -cobalt drive- is bound to to be quoted and reworked into many forms of a late-night burner. patefon, on the other hand, is a peak-time stormer with its stuttering chords and moody samples, supposedly picked from some vintage shellac discs

fresh from our label compilation >so far (so good)<, we are proud to announce the follow-up to last years successful deliric ep on curle. three absolutely killer tracks by our argentinian friend jonas kopp (spectral sound, ostgut ton). pick your favourite!

best ackerdub so far !! ultraphat chordish and groovin tracks... ultimate decks tip !!!

two new house tracks twisted, chewed up and spat back out on wax by marcellus pittman on his own label unirhythm. marcellus has had a great year of releases so far with his unirhythm green 12 inch and the well received ep on the fit sound label. this one is slightly smoother, jazzier, and still with that nice masculine pittman groove!

perfect for the not-so-far-away summer sessions, its a lovely closing moment, affirming the message that langenbergæs house is open to everyone.

the buzz has been around for some time, but now its getting real! the recently created cologne label magazine will release its debut record >cologne tape.< until now, they have made their appearances almost hidden, but it might not be too far-fetched to refer to them as a kind of supergroup: cologne tape are ada, axel willner (the field), joerg burger (modernist, burger & voigt), philipp janzen (von spar), john stanier (battles), jens-uwe beyer (popnoname)

coming from the heart of bosnia, solomun is a passionate dj who certainly knows how to please a crowd and keep the energy on the floor. equally as talented and creative in the studio, he has many releases to his name on his own label diynamic, as well as other imprints such as four:twenty, liebe*detail and dessous recordings. made for the dancefloor, his productions always have an element of funk or surprise, reminding people of the fun thats there to be had with music. as a label with many close ties to mobilee records, diynamic will be co-hosting a party at mobilees sonar 2010 celebrations, which makes it even more fitting that this release brings the two forces more closely together. solomuns next big bang, being brought to you via leena music, is a sure extension of his impeccable production skills and style, and is also one of the most unique releases you will here on the label so far. a-side >sisi< opens with a head-spinning explosion of notes and chords, being fired out like sparks in a continual loop. then half way through the record, they dramatically stop, only to soon build up again and set the roller coaster off once more. b-side >talk to the hand< is a bass-heavy and punchy track, that surprises you with euphoric piano chords in the second half, whilst b2 >curesto< brings all of the elements together with piano chords, build-ups and some drama. enjoy!

nice price deal !!!

the best material so far!

marius mevold aka mindflow is 25 and hails from trondheim in norway. his nsd debut was picked up early by 1xtras mistajam and when you hear it you?ll soon see why. mindflow has created an absolute monster of a dubstep track thats so catchy even your mum will be dancing her socks off to it: fact. switched has all the elements of a festival anthem, lush old-skool piano chords, soaring diva vocal cuts and huge sub bass wobbles that will shake any summer sound system. just when you think it cant get any better, the half time dubstep beat switches into rolling uk funky vibes. really and truly, this tune is a beast and has already had huge club and radio support from mistajam (6 weeks running on his 1xtra show!) as well as annie mac, kissy sell out, scratch perverts, oneman and caspa. of course a never say die release wouldnt be complete without killer remixes and this one is no exception. d&b men of the moment and remixers extraordinaire, dc breaks, have taken switched to new lofty heights with their super production skills. in line with the old skool vibe of the original, the crisp beats and breaks underpin an awesome sub driven roller that is sure to be on heavy rotation for the summer. dj support: anne savage, cut la roc, excision, far too loud, flux pavilion, freq nasty, futurebound, general midi, high rankin, jaguar skills, kid kenobi, pendulum, reset!, rico tubbs, riskotheque, starkey and more

first on decks.de!!! >blast corps< opens the ep with a surge of delayed baseline. crispy static rises from below and echoes swoop and simmer beneath the full blooded base. it builds insistently, the 4/4 structure is infused with far off blips and the dusty sizzles of lowpitched white noise. on dark star warm dub keeps the sound organic. it’s elemental, the baseline seems enormous enough to have a gravity of its very own and the other elements pull together around its weight. it teases, the breathy elements twitch, fidget, become fully formed but refuse to drop. frank martiniq refuses the obvious, and opts for the discerning. this is the stuff of intrigue, as is the percussive opening to b2 >lovelane<. here a rattling, clattering sequence breaks out into a euphoric, syncopated structure. its dark, playful and danceable techno.

after his brillant previous >cccp ep< charted & supported by names as steve bug, djulz, ewan pearson, francois k, brendon moeller, kirk degiorgio, mike denhert, giorgio gigli ... conforce strikes back on modelisme with another great release titled >black stroke ep<. a side >black stroke< original is an hymnic detroitish tune, the swingy groove and the right strings, provided from an high sensitivity. guests on this ep, the excellent kink & neville watson, worked out an old school acid house remix with a typical chicago vein as they do know to do. to complete >pretty far from here< is a superb old school house track, subtle deep funky sounds on raw beats with a sensual mood.
a must to have. modelisme again.

maybe >grandfathers clock< is the most house influenced release from the german duo piemont so far. going more deep dirty and housy this time... they turn towards a more relaxed and slack approach. chopping up bits of vocals and sounds, tight and funky, this is what piemont is all about. >running mirror< refers to giorgio moroder respectively hi energy influences and is a hypnotic cool groove monster that will convert spaces into soulful places. frederic and christian have released a good dozen of records now and have been very successful. with >peak time tracks< such as >carbonat< being played by the whole lot of ibiza djs and big names around the world. >running mirror< definitely manifests a turning point in their musical spectrum... to deeper grounds of electronic dance and will get other djs involved in their manifold world of music.

supported by... miss kittin, monika kruse, michel de hey, chris liebing, sian, derek plaslaiko, max cooper, christian martin, joseph capriati, kaiserdisco, orde meikle/ soma, deepchild, patrice baumel, kandel, mihalis safras, electric indigo patrick pulsinger, igor tchkotoua! hailed as one of the big tunes in their dj sets by the likes of dominik eulberg and triple r. >baked potato< is an excursion into deep waters, dirt paths, rocky hill tops and descending slopes. this track might be the only one roland m. dill has done so far that bends and twists the dynamic in different ways, making it a forceful techno epic.

with 2009s magnificiently deep >cone ep< raudive aka oliver ho became an integral part of the ever brilliant macro family. the man is in there for a reason. now he drops one of macros most dancefloor-centered, yet distinctively future forward outings so far. >paper< - the chord, the bass, the strings! all deepness ingredients are there and it would be just classic if it wasnt raudive in control, whose chord is rather acoustic than synthetic, whose strings are rather xenakis than detroit - and whose bassline is just pumping genius blasting any reference system. but its a double pack of excessive excellence. >brittle< is papers evil sister and a giant step in groove design, throwing the thrills of the unknown right at your dancefloor. its repetitious, maniacal vexation patterns put any record to shame that has ever been called hypnotic. 2010 is right here. the ep is rounded off with the shimmering >sienna< - a no-beat melodic variaton set against the warmth of grainy crackle. one of the most thrilling releases by one of the most thrilling labels

and.id is an artist whose musical talents are impressively far-reaching, as his recent installment of the back to back series with jazz interpretations of mobilee classics powerfully brought to everyones attention. after a long spell in the studio with his b.a.n.d and a variety of instruments, and.id has gone solo for his next project, i will be there, and hes taking us back to the dance floor where he is equally at home, as his other releases on mobilee such as first talk have shown. title track i will be there lands heavily with a punching kick drum and there is little release before the bass and groove come in, meanwhile b1:five brings back and.ids signature jazzy sounds with some melodic pianochords. b2:erotica brings all of the elements together with a strong melodic bass line and punch kick, making it the stand out track of the release. tthere is something for everybody in this package and it will definitely get you moving….enjoy!

>afro rock vol. 1< is one of the most important compilations of heavy original 70s afro funk and soul to be released in recent years. originally surfacing on duncan brookers indie kona label in early 2001, the album single-handedly kick-started the thirst among jazz, funk and soul fans and diggers to rediscover lost music from africa made during the 60s and 70s from a time when many countries were gaining independence and celebrating a pan-african identity within their music. the album was one of the first to reach a far different audience to the traditional ?world music? market and spawned many further projects and labels in its wake. a year later, the >nigeria 70< compilation surfaced on strut and labels like soundway and analog africa would continue to unearth amazing lost gems from the motherland.

great new h&v release - toughest so far - gets the >sandwell< seal of approval! features massive silent servant re-edit, a great take on the original hand stamped / custom embossed sleeve design... for sure the toughest release so far on this amazing us label, this time round santiago salazar (icad productions) and john mendez (silent servant / sandwell) reel in the production talents of droid behaviour related artists vangelis and vidal vargas (appearing here as raiz) from the sunny state of cally

already receiving support from the likes of richie hawtin, adam beyer, mark broom, and dustin zahn, this follow up to psyks debut ep (on minus no less) shows the heavier, peaktime side of his productions.>cubes< is a massive and hypnotic show stopper which will easily find its place in the biggest festivals and clubs this summer. >clockwise<, like decimals >freekout< ep, is a massive 909 workout similar to the plastikman material of the past. this is without a doubt, one of the biggest releases for the label so far! future classic!

james ruskin is considered a veteran producer these days, after co-founding blueprint records in 1996 with richard polson, and releasing a string of classics on blueprint, meta and tresor labels to name but a few. 2009 saw ruskin re-invent his sound, a far deeper bass driven aesthetic, with killer releases on sandwell district, token and the newly reformed blueprint imprint.

here comes the second release on the pattern repeat label. pattern repeat is a new music-project and label by kenneth christiansen, echocord & echocord colour label boss, and his partner dennis bøg aka resoe, running the baum label.the pattern repeat label will only contains productions from kenneth & dennis, and the music is focused on the modern berlin techno sound today, dubstep and dub-techno. pattern repeat will also release records on other labels, so far the first one is out on echocord colour. kenneth and dennis met eachother 8 years ago when they worked together in at that time famous copenhagen-record-shop >loud<, which closed 5 years ago. at that time dennis was more into broken beat, hip-hop and deep house. kenneth was already running the label echocord, and soon dennis started his label baum. the label baum is also like echocord, releasing dub-techno, and dennis started to release his own material as resoe, and builded up his studio the years after. 1 year ago we decided to try to do a new project together, working together in the studio, and now pattern repeat is born.

banging dubstep killaz! coming straight from fx projekt, a famous french breakbeaterz... one of the best destpub so far and once again a true revelation for the bass world!

safras & oxia... best material so far... almost everyone played that in wmc this year... enjoy!

our krauty fellows kreidler have just finished their european tour and really got their kicks playing live.with the release of >impressions dafrique< - the first remix 12 inch from their mind-expanding new album mosaik 2014 - they will once again raise the awareness of their audience for airy soundscapes far beyond the space-time continuum. side a features the fantastic new extended long 12 inch edit of >impressions dafrique<. here you can dance to percussive sci-fi music played live to get some outer-space satisfaction. the flip-side features a unit 4 (body dub, clone records) rework. unit 4s >oro borum bonga baum chant remix< is made for a disco party where not only mirror balls turn crazy. for those who like space, kraut, disco and body dub, its a must.

kremenerstrasse in prenzlauer berg, north-east berlin, five hundreds meters away from the mauerpark, not far from the flea market of arkonaplatz and the famous kastanienallee, right there stands the souvenir office. just a quick guided tour for you! the kitchen shared with the boys of turntable rockers has the best café latte of the street, and with entertainers of the likes of ali and basti, you always get extra spices (and funny anecdotes) with your meal. just book your table in advance. next-door, you will find the souvenir studio, the audio empire of philipp “santé . behind a two-meter-high wall of machines, surrounded by computers screens and synthesizers, you can imagine him working away on some funky keynotes and well-chosen kettledrums with ali and basti. it may well be stomping and uplifting but there’s still something missing… that little extra something, which turns this new tfschwrz track into a breath-taking floor filler comes from the office at the end of the corridor. where hundreds of 12? records collected by tiefschwarz over the years are stored and also where retty works, the jokester of souvenir, the good mood behind the desk of souvenir booking and the good moves behind the decks of souvenir’s dj booths. retty is otherwise known as the whistler

efdemins little vinyl imprint naif strikes back with number two feauring two of his favorite producers: juergen junker, the most underrated producer, dj and live act from london on one side and efdemins long time friend and partner (together as pigon) rndm, who so far released on dial and its sub-imprint laid.

the hot name on the berlin underground right now is david keno and the track that you are addicted to without yet knowing is >upside down<. you are the first people to be getting this release as its been kept under wraps since label boss riva star first started playing it at the end of 2009. after recently being featured on rivas radio 1 essential mix and bagged super early for dj hells gigolo compilation, the buzz around it has now reached breaking point with enquiries coming daily on where people can get their hands on it. it could be one of the most anticipated eps of the year so far so it s a very fitting release to start the label with. snatch! is riva starrs first label project and the aim behind it is to push new talents and well-established forward thinking producers. expect slamming fresh house cuts!

jay haze aka fuckponys superb ode to love in general and loved-up ravers in particular provides us with another sparkling gem: the second single from his current lp has the equally romantic and revealing title >i m burning inside<. it allows us to clearly feel that love-fuelled power, but never lets us get close enough to the fire to get seriously burned. jays sound is simply a tad too cool for that. despite all the emotional appeal, he always keeps a wink in store to save us right at the brink. the remixers reboot and paul ritch give far more obvious signals. both of them say loud and clear: dance!

tigerskin aka alex kruger is certainly one of the most prolific artists releasing electronic music these days. his tigerskin alias has released music on a plethora of respected platforms, far and wide across the spectrum of electronic music labels. now we happily welcome him to audiomatique, steve bugs imprint designed to support the techier, more intense end of his eclectic love of house and techno.

the 35-year-old hessian dj and producer frank lorber is intrinsically tied to the history of cocoon recordings. however, speaking of a comeback of lorber would be both consequent and not thinking far ahead, as tres is an artist collective being rather entrenched in the frankfurt tech house scene.

first part of the fabulous 2010 compialtion celebrating the 10th anniversary of dial records. isolée gives his far out label debut >black lodge< to have another artist 12inch later this year. efdemin comes along with a superdeep tune to tease us for his next album coming in may. with the glorious piano loophouse hymn >treacle mine< labelchef lawrence shows again that the dancefloor is a place for lovers. this is only the beginning.

for the penultimate part of reklusives vol.1 we continue our theme of mixing established artists with fresh blood and for this part loco & jam, alex d elia & nihil young and simon stokes all return to rekluse after successful solo releases with the label in 2009.
reklusives vol.1 is fergie and henry vons new compilation series launched to celebrate rekluses first birthday. so far they have been joined by james dutton, psycatron, electric rescue and clement meyer and we are only half way through...

after a bit of a quiet period, moods & grooves returns with a heavy hitter – gu (aka glenn underground). an icon from the 2nd generation of chicago house music producers, gu by far is the most prolific. back to the basic is a concept through which he returns to the roots of chicago house when producers made the music, not a computer or program.

theo parrish teams up with a constantly changing cast of soul/ jazz musicians and singers. some of his heaviest, earthiest house grooves so far combined with angelic vocals and hot live instrumentation.

played and support by brothers vibe, gorge, mendo, acumen, nick curly, felipe venegas, jackspot, ptoile, monoroom, martin eyerer, someone else and many more. his successful releases and remixes were published on labels like kiddaz fm, spinclub, cecille, 8 bit, session deluxe or glückskind. his tracks got remixed by world famous artists like marek hemmann, billy dalessandro, nick curly, chris liebing or tom pooks!! first move is helmuts typical fragile minimal tech-house funk. a sweet lullaby with mantra like vocals thats too minimal to be tech house and far too funky and sexy to be minimal. and helmut is never satisfied with doing things like all the other producer around do it right now - he is always looking for the little things thats different - so expect a surprise or two if you are listening carefully. cut b1 is so typical for helmut again you would know without any doubt where these funky track comes from. reminding of his old classic dub la chord or his yellow tail release this is his typical cleaned up tech house with his own vocal snippets you just cant get enough of.

its been a while since the last rsb release, but then tracks like this dont come along every day! for their first vinyl appearance on a label other than their own, enigmatic german duo ancient methods do the honourable thing and break out the whip, a track that comes across like a 2-step party in the foundry of thor himself. lets lazily label it anvil techno, because as far as we are aware no has yet invented a genre that adequately desribes music such as this. and as we have come to expect, much the same can be said of the evil sickness that is eat like hawks by bjorn svin (with a little help from karsten pflum, jona olesen & copyflex!). it starts like it means to go on, with a gnarled loop and indecipherable distorted vocals, and is gradually tweaked and augmented to the point of destruction. all manner of ill bass, overdriven filters, zaps, clanky drums & feedback join the party before the whole affair is brought to an abrupt end by the strange foreign lady that we have come to know and love over the course of the track. truly music for small, sweaty, strobe-driven cellars.

pattern repeat is a new music-project and label by kenneth christiansen, echocord & echocord colour label boss, and his partner dennis bøg aka resoe, running the baum label. the pattern repeat label will only containsproductions from kenneth & dennis, and the music is focused on the modern berlin techno sound today, dubstep and dub-techno. pattern repeat will also release records on other labels, so far the first one is out on echocordcolour. kenneth and dennis met eachother 8 years ago when they worked together in at that time famous copenhagen-record-shop >loud<, which closed 5 years ago. at that time dennis was more into broken beat, hip-hop anddeep house. kenneth was already running the label echocord, and soon dennis started his label baum. the label baum is also like echocord, releasing dub-techno, and dennis started to release his own material as resoe, andbuilded up his studio the years after.1 year ago we decided to try to do a new project together, working together in the studio, and now pattern repeat is born.

finally after some struggle and some discussions, here we are with the new record called love lift. it contains a superb remix by mr. todd osborn aka osborne, a sneaky dub version by cb funk – known from the story label - and of course the original version .. which has literally been played in every live show so far.. hope you like it…

support by luciano, reboot, sebo k, raresh, nuick curly.... chris carrier, one of the most respected names of the french underground house scene for more than 10 years, delivers his debut ep for off recordings. la fabourienne is the kind of peaktime tracks that you know and love off for, jacking grooves, a strong bassline and an infectious saxophone theme will turn your dancefloor upside down – guaranteed! jeudi is a completely different affair – a laidback sparse groove, garnered with 100% self-played live instruments and percussions show carriers deeper side, making this outstanding piece of music the deepest and most musical track released on off so far. william kouam djoko, one of biggest fresh talents of amsterdams ever-growing house scene, delivers a unique interpretation of jeudi for his friend and house-hero mr. carrier, straightening the deep original into a twisted techno-jazz-experience for the feet and the heart in two interpretations: the vinyls perky mix is more aimed at the dancefloor, while the trippy aftermath mix is perfect for afterhours. the ep is finished by cycles gladiator, a deep and timeless housetool typical for mr. carrier, perfect for the earlier or later hours of the night

nice price deal !!! big with richie hawtin, italoboyz, rampa, david keno, someone else, cosmic cowboys, carsten rausch !! third strike from sat is the best so far and comes with brilliant remixes by funkwerkstatt and ben anders !! simple as that

incl schaeufler & zovsky live at sos u ground! big with richie hawtin, italoboyz, rampa, david keno, someone else, cosmic cowboys, carsten rausch !! third strike from sat is the best so far and comes with brilliant remixes by funkwerkstatt and ben anders !! simple as that

jack is back you could say, but he has never really left us. far from it, jack is the godfather of all less productions. modern oldschool house maybe? jeazon its >your deal<, is the real deal, beacause the mood of this track is driven by the vocals which was seemingly recorded in the deepest chicago underground. talking large noising the track is most fun on the dancefloor.
>its not the same< is the candy for the costumer, a potential tech-house hymn, seldom before house vocals were so well arranged with a techno track and merged to a neurotransmitter pushing sound impression.
the enliven deep acoustics remix foils the whole thing with the desired portion of funk and is showing perspectives, jack would have appreciated.

plastic rules is steadily moving towards the future with high quality minimal techno releases. 004 was a firm step in the right direct featuring the amazing >someone else<.
now its time for martin woerner (paso music, inclusion) and he delivers another beautiful piece of vinyl for the djs out there. this upcoming is hot and the highlight so far is his track featuring on the cocoon mix cd by dubfire and locodice.
on the flip we have a piemont (my best friend) remix. these guys are hot with remixes already under there belt for trapez, kontor, ministry of sound and many many more..
