bjorn torske is a special artist with a special name. he was born in northern norway where fishing has been the main industry for hundreds of years and his name literally translates as >bear cod<. even making dinner is unique in norway: you put the potatoes on to boil, go out to sea and catch a fish, then return to prepare the meal…this process is known as >kokning<. to say that northern norwegians do things their own way would be putting it lightly … to say that bjorn torske is making music his own way would be exactly right.

tearing through the streets again with wicked track after wicked track! pounding grooves dont stop! this heavy low end bomber is sprinkled with static dust which grunges it up nicely. then comes along valvestat who gives us a new taste of uk-style tech, mixxing heavy kicks and technical percussions with subtle black strings of death! huge! kataconda is back at it, this time treating us to a frenzy of static attacks. his droned out version of pounding grooves original leaves no room for improvement. finally, dijjs edit adds a funky bounce to the equation with cut-up alien vox and the skullsplitter! dont miss this one! asrx005 cannot be stopped!

super gelungene vinyl ep. eigentlich ist alles dabei was der dj so braucht, mal etwas herzlicher (wie regen) , dann auch wieder dickes dj futter für die prime time(sonne, stronger than pain)

jenifa mayanja, respected new york dj, producer and owner of bu-mako recordings, steps into the altered moods collective for an exciting two cut vinyl release, >desire more<. the first side slides into a subtle groove with voices and synthy keys over a beat itching to get you on to the dance floor. then a variety of warm melodies join in, bubbling and be-bopping onto the main cut, a collusion of claps, beats and riffs. jenifa comes back and leads us to a saucy clarinet that could be rehearsing in the next room, unaware of our presence. yet it echoes the feel of the piece, dancing away from and back to the rhythm.

the dream team return, another sinister slab from these amazing producers ! features trouser-flappin bottom-end mastered by the don, matt colton ! james ruskin and mark broom follow up their previous and serious selling outing (bp029 no time soon) with a stonking slab of the dark techno stuff ! if we are to reference this release then it perhaps could be likened to early surgeon or downwards titles with menacing riffs and destroyer basslines..... just fantastic

!!vinyl only , ltd repress!!! yo hermeneutics! acid pauli (console, notwist, electronist) knows where the shoe pinches: we all need more soul. marvin is like these rare double groove vinyls, where two songs running parallel, (you may think oops the needle is hopping) well, in the middle of the tune the striation crosses, and then it ooze out soul and the sun rise

supported by: reboot, dubfire, ewan pearson, samuel l session, raresh, tim xavier, christian smith,.. with oliver deutschmann & ed davenport polytone proceeds on its way to focus on exceptional artists who have something really profound to say musicwise. quite slowly, but highly stringently deutschmann and davenport build up this musical journey until, without really realising, youre in the middle of a very slamming house track of a truely oldschool kind which gains further drama due to subtle chord changes. in his remix, matthias vogt from motorcitysoul further emphasises the tracks house character by adding more chords and then lets the deepness culminate in a wonderful break. robert bosco totally breaks out of the traditional catgories house and techno and combines the best of both worlds in his remix distilling it to a kind of essence of electronic music. all three tracks have in common an immensely consistent approach and a pleasingly trend-resistant understanding of deep music

big with: loco dice, butch, reboot, karotte, tobi neumann, matthias tanzmann, nick curly, daniel stefanik, joris voorn, dj sneak tiefschwarz, lauhaus, robert dietz, alex celler, dubfire.... since breaking onto the scene in 2009 with hot tracks like >rain in rio< on cecille records, and >in da factory< on viva music, rome based leon has been steadily been carving a reputation as one to watch as both a producer and dj! its no wonder then that leon can count djs like carl cox, luciano, loco dice, marco carola and mandy as massive fans of his work! in recent months leon has released a string of successful remixes for the likes of soma records, monique musique & international freakshow as well as travelling the globe playing a us tour and being resident at the world famous cocorico in riccione italy, and touring europe constantly.

a1: >rejoice< - very strong usa vibes with this one, old school brooklyn boogie feel! the riff is infectious, brought right up to date with the addition of a heavy kick. vocal adds to the feel good nature of this track! killer!
b1: >cant fake da flip< - disco with a large house element. dancefloor killer, oozes of 80s flavour! incredible bassline and heavy old school disco groove.
b2: >get over the edit< - intro builds to a little string break, then the track hits! aggressive, heavy beat! cant help but move to this one. big, big track! another one for the dancefloor.

earlier this year they got together at martins studio in derby to create this classic deep house number. the parts were then taken to their respective studios to create their own versions. freds mix has a more straight forward vibe to it while martin takes things to the deep end, adding dub elements to the mix.

>i keep asking myself where they take all that brilliant music from. its just as if somebody had poked a bees nest and then it all burst out. i feel deeply connected to the pampa style…< (terry hogann, the musical mistress, 10/2010). as was to be expected, pampa is steadily developing into a platform for cross-border electronic dance music. each pampa release sounds different from the previous and still pampa remains a conclusive musical planet. this is all the more surprising in the case of pampa005, which features two completely different artists: side a: nathan fake - xmas rush having reportedly recorded his track >xmas rush< in his london studio during a jam session, nathan fake (border community, traum, saw) has turned in a total brainfuck. its mercylessly exaggerated, psychedelic, inexorable, and at the same time sweet and heart-warming. a very rare mixture. unique in its consistency, we havent heard anything like it since the 90s. its so nice and overwhelming to have your ears exercised the right way again. evergreen… side aa: dj koze pays tribute to michael smith - >mi cyaan believe it< in the meantime, dj koze has moved on to completely different spheres. once again, he astonishes his public with an extremely danceable version of michael smiths >mi cyaan believe it<. having originally started off as a digital error, and recorded within a single night, this tune recalls the ruthlessness, rawness and revolutionary energy of public enemy

2010 repress ! paul ritch and his quartz music label return with a very special treat! the first release on quartz was pauls own >split ep<. the response to the music on this ep was incredible. not only from specialists, but also from the public. how do you improve on the package? well, draft in one of the biggest names in world of techno to not only provide a remix, but take the two biggest tracks from the release, combine them, and remix the mutant off-spring. indeed! this is just what dubfire has done. taking >walk the line< and >split<, melting them together, and then reworking them to provide what will, from now, and forever more, be known as.... the >split the line - dubfire mega remix.< 2008 proved to be a wonderful year for dubfire. his releases and remixes filled the top spots in many end of year charts. no more than they deserved. his >dios< & >diablo< tracks alongside oiiver huntemann were instant smashes, and his remixes took him to a whole new level. radio slaves >grindhouse<, minologues >jamaica<, gregor treshers >a thousand nights< & booka shades >charlotte< all received the dubfire treatment, and all, went on to be smash hits. 2009 is set to be even bigger and better for everyone involved in this e.p.. is that possible? just watch this space!

if god created men and if the ancestors of men are monkeys, then god was a monkey! this is asrs 3th release on simplex records. the original mix is one for the stronger bodies and minds, full of energy & power, balancing between dark crazy techno and solid minimal. the syncopated percussion is pivoting on the berghain based groovy sound. the melody is sparse and therefore a natural step in asrs evolution as a recording artist. the structure of this track embraces well placed developments and sonic changes. the sound of all tracks is coherent and vigorous hypnotic. asr hired minus artist jpls for a remix on the a-side. result is a typical jpls sound. abstract & subtracted. asrs friends, rising smallroom artist mike wall gives a dark dreamy mysterious point of view and japans tech & minimal talent shin matsura hits you straight in the face just like the original mix does. these two producers are the personnel on the b-side.

when you have already spent the first half of the year celebrating a grammy nomination, an idma (international dance music awards) nomination for your worldwide radio show, residencies and tours at the biggest clubs in the world, and worked with the black eyed peas and faithless, how the hell do you start the second half? if you are the biggest export in uk dance music, namely mark knight, then you release your third epic toolroom knights mix album... and here we have selected some of the biggest tracks from the album: the first track is the co-production competition winning entry >headers & volleys< from mark knight, drew scott & hollywood hills, strict border >reboot me<, album exclusive >bad bread< by george andrews and nic fanciullis remix of loco dices >definition<.
the second part of a double vinyl sampler that will be lighting up the biggest dancefloors.

footandmouths forth release sees the return of the prodigal sons s.a.s. after the success of fam001 they are back with another hot slice of vintage house pie! the a side is a great little vintage house rework, complete with great keyboard stabs, driving bass and ace vocal, tweaked for perfect peak time performance. a2 is a superb mid-tempo electro dub of the vocal…blinding! the flip features dreaming and were hit boogie territory with some aplomb! a serious 80s groove underpins soulful vocal and electro beats. the dub then hikes the tempo and jacks the groove into ny dub underground! great package from the s.a.s mystery men!

remixes von nicolas jaar und ed bangers boogie-revivalist breakbot! matthew dears black city is an opus of bacchanalian futurism, then second single >you put a smell on me< is its presumptive climax—an unblinking industrial march to the center of the brains most neglected corners. its drums are militant, its pace is unswerving, and the squarewave synths that start falling like mortar shells are searing and wide-eyed. then theres the marbled voice of dear himself, pent-up and sexually charged, beckoning you for a ride in his big black car. its the sound of staring down the part of yourself that you are most afraid of. if that seems too daunting, theres always the dub version. when mirrored through the eyes of others specifically wolf + lamb prodigy nicolas jaar and ed bangers resident boogie revivalist, breakbot — >you put a smell on me< starts to feel less lobotomizing. jaars version is a sullen, scratchy, headphone-ready beat trip—atmospheric vibraphone samples here, stilted kicks and snares there, all of it amorphously affecting together. and breakbot has no problem hamming it all up into the sort of blithe electro-funk every prom night deserves.

>les patates<, the fresh new rrygular release by tassilo, one half of pan-pot, is not an homage to french agriculture but a serious techno smasher with high club potential. at first, theres just a nice party atmosphere and … then this rough beat drops in! the small potatoe >petite patate< surprises by adding rudimental elements like the hihat and snare drum always a little late. but you have the feeling you havent missed something yet. this number just sneaks from behind and lulls you in with billowing pads until you sense the final rave sound as a self-evident consequence of it all. the message by g-tech right before the drop proves right - there is not a lack of vibration here! its all about the mixture … and in this case its just felicitous: male choir, clanking cymbals and finally the riff that this track subsists on. tassilo knows how to send the short melody-figure through the different stages of sound design, even though it might have been lively enough without it. this gives the big potatoe >grosse patate< a level of dynamic, that most contemporary techno releases just dont provide.

when we released aardvarcks nosestep as part of his well well well ep in the summer of 2007 it cause quite a stir in the then formative dubstep scene, almost anybody played that track. now we re-release it with a new version by cosmin trg, who transformed it into a strong acidic stepper, 2010 style. on the b-side we find an unreleased nubian mindz remix from aardvarcks spoken release from 2001. we didnt release it at the time, but with the whole new future house movement coming strong, the timing couldnt be more perfect

for this tune hem and terrible shock take apart an 80s soul lp, add some sci-fi synths, lazy drums and a sprinkling of analogue fx. after many painstaking hours of recording the duo take a well earned coffee break, then return to the studio just in time to see the back of the light-footed blunted robots man shortstuff as he runs off chuckling >your vocals are mine now!<. revenge plans are made, vehicles are fuelled up in preparation ? but these activities are cut short by the arrival of an email from the culprit ? it seems that he took the files back to his hq for what he describes as a refix ? with the engines still running, hem and shox check out the file and find it to be a work of genius ? what they hear is an accelerated kaleidoscopic fusion of on-beat claps and snares in a peak-time northern soul style, super heavy subbass hits and hectic syncopated keyboard chops.

in the mood to get breathless on the club floor, 2009 marked the birth of io and since then, they ve been pumping the clubs with their sexy take on groovy tech-house!

with support from the likes of steve (allez allez), henry saiz (bedrock, renaissance), ryan davis (cocoon, maripoza) … comes rising up from spains capital, madrid, comes a new eclectic dance oriented-no boundaries music label: blue cola recordings. with an ever growing catalogue that ranges from straight forward club sounds to more experimental new wave post everything music, blue cola recordings is sure to be driving force in the electronic scene for many years to come, or we will die trying… killing everyone else in the mean time. our first release comes from dutch producer robbie pardoel who sets the mood in an easy listening tech-house way, then chilean wonder boy and regular border community artist, ricardo tobar delivers a powerful remix in his unique post punk style. the ep is completed by spanish secret producing combo the hongkonites who get the last laugh with a weirdly beautiful bass techno remix. blue cola rec. team, its fresh!

innerwestsoul is an anonymous, sydney-based crate digger who claims influences as wide as art blakey, tony blackburn, joni mitchell and streetsounds electro, and credits first and foremost where it all began with his dads original 1970s home made motown, soul and disco mixtapes. turntable tweaking and re-editing tracks since 1985, his original productions utilised nothing but a razor blade and a roll of sticky tape to keep the music flowing. fast forward to the 21st century, and he continues to apply the same diy philosophy to his digital productions, creating tracks with real drama, continually diving deep into the infinity of musical history to find those rare nuggets of pure musical gold, then sharing them with the world

deep blue tripping & stripped down killer techno.

dimitri kneppers (1967) music career reads like an encyclopedia. a house encyclopedia. after 23 years of spinning records you could call this dj a true veteran. known for his enormous sensitivity, true feeling and mixing skills he gives you the sense you are the voyeur of an intimate act between two lovers. the music and the man. but nobody ever felt and looked so comfortable behind the decks as dj dimitri, for he brings the crowd at ease like don juan would do with women. when ecstasy is no longer just a word, but a true magical moment as the crowd, the surroundings and the music all come together in one hypnotizing state of happiness. this man knows -or should we say feels- what he is doing, not only behind the decks but also when producing. in september 2007 dimitri said goodbye to his headphones to work on a farm with mentally handicapped people. fortunately for his fans the break wasnt premanent in the middle of last year he installed a studio in his home, then this past june he returned to the decks - now he makes his planet e debut with a stunning track already tearing up dancefloors. included is the first of two remixes by carl craig. a second ep with remixes by orlando voorn and carl craig will appear in early 2011

intense, deep,raw and dirty tracks by marco bernardi. his first release on clone records in a while and what a record! two tracks build around unpolished rhythms and open beginning that dont reveal immediately where its going. quiet unpredictable is the a-side that slowly opens up with a sultry string and then completely bursts open with a shiny melody that is in beautiful contrast with the raw percussion. broken silence is another deep track founded on a basic rhythm and metallic detroit bass line. topped with spoken words (by keith tucker from aux88) and bleepy melodies, underlaid with a deeper sexy bassline. a track rooted in the best traditions of techno... weve played this one over and over! machine music by men!

believe it or not !! new hardfloor album ! with acid !! killer !! mastery is distinguished by the difference between being able to create something because you know about it, and creating something because you are it.hardfloor are the masters! masters of what? masters of the -sound of acid-, the style of techno they invented and infected the world with by unleashing the groundbreaking and infinitely imitated -hardtrance acperience ep- in 1992. that unmistakable groove, that pumping house bass, that swirling modulating melody, that throbbing acid house vibe and those climactic builds and breaks - a new sound for the dancefloors of the planet. yes, this is 2010 and that was 18 years ago. a lot has happened since then and music has changed

legendary latin sexpop icon ric y martin? the chileans’ answer to menudo? or two of the most distinguished electronic musicians of our time teaming up to take an unforgettable trip through the imagination? dandy jack and ricardo villalobos need no introduction. if you’re reading this, then you already know what to expect. delicate percussive patterns. dream sequences. warm hypnosis. recorded in 1999 and excavated from the vaults for a timely release in an age of increasingly disposable music, alphahouse delivers for everyone seeking a timeless and painstakingly stylish piece of vinyl.

donovans are back with >freakshow / krosscut<, >freakshow< is some kind of a cathedralistic anthem, with which they often start their dj set as this particular track can face any big tune, combining quite slow syncopated bassdrums, a killer melody, getting in your brain... >krosscut< is more a classic track from donovans, done on purpose for the dancefloor, ultra efficient, a bit fidget, naughty, the kind of nu techno we like here in citizen records ! fukkk offf & chaos in the cbd (duo from nu-zealand) are in the story too! fukkk offf gives some of his technoid skillness on >krosscut< a bit >à la fukkk offf<, then chaos in the cbd proposes us an old school house remix, using the current production tools, this will give all the music lovers a remembrance from the old days (this remix is already played by teki latex & many other frenchy!) >the french duo comes back with a bump-house bomb, hysterical breaks, extatic horn & powered bass, you got all< tsugi

vinyl edition (7x12inch) is limited to 1500 copies ww!!! ostgut ton releases this unique compilation of music crafted from field recordings made inside the two berlin clubs berghain and panorama bar. the concept and original recordings were made by the berlin based producer emika. over a period of two months emika created the recordings in the clubs while they were closed to the public and edited them into a library of sounds. the library was then given to all the ostgut ton artists, but also to club associates like dj pete aka substance, dinky, cassy, margaret dygas, ryan elliott and scuba using his scb alias, to make music with. this release marks the celebration of the labels five year anniversary!!

andre winters first release on ideal audio - trauma - was an instant success and then he returned with his track helene on terence fixmers from jupiter label and dogma again on ideal. july of this year saw andré once again release on ideal audio, this time teaming up with hatzler on the heavily supported galloper, and today he returns with his brand new solo production, magma. as the summer fades, and our nights grow longer, magma and its flip drama, provide the perfect soundtrack for the coming winter months. played by dubfire, christian smith, marc romboy, stephan bodzin, mihalis safras, joseph capriati, carlo lio, pan-pot, joey beltram and many others

glaswegian producer, label owner and globe trotting dj graeme clark, aka the revenge, takes on holy ghost!s >say my name< – a song from the duos ep static on the wire that, in its original incarnation, is a lovely, smooth slice of electronic pop. the revenge re-models the single three times over, into a trio of distinct remixes all bearing his unmistakable signature. first up on the vinyl 12inch is the revenge remix, which starts out like a hollowed-out, hall-of-echoes version of its predecessor and then grows – bit by bit and synth by syth – into a gorgeous swirl. on the revenge instrumental, clark ups the disco ante, removing the vocal melody and replacing it with elements equally as compelling: a classic beat, synthesized strings, double handclaps, and an essential electric bassline

support from laurent garnier, sascha dive, reboot, ryan crosson, mr v, rocco, dj gregory, le loup, brothers vibe, djulz, james priestley, ralf gum, alex from tokyo, halo... here comes the new cross-over project from the master of french deep house, mr franck roger! lets go back to the roots of house with him, and when i say house, i mean real, true, phat old school house that comes right from the soul! franck as come up with his most sophisticated work ever, but youll be suprised because its completely spontaneus and elaborated at the same time. the first track is called loosing and believe me you wont get loose on that one, a very chunky and deep new york ride... the second is i wanna say, and franck means it really, its all about the dancefloor, with his futuristic vibe. and then comes heat, and boy you will sweat on that one, this is what we call the perfect definition of house music, between east coast, and west coast. real tone records is proud to start its sixth season with this wicked new project

from our very first listen we were instantly taken aback ... dreamy, amazingly composed and perfectly spaced out house for a good lasting 12 minutes. petar dundovs new release >distant shores< simply has it all. if you are looking to take your crowd someplace wonderful and much more then this is what you need. this will be available as a limited 12 inch with special holographic artwork. dont miss out!
big with sven vaeth, francois k, karotte, dj hell and many more!

the more dedicated amongst you may have noticed a very limited run of purple labelled 12s doing the rounds earlier this year bearing only the roman numeral for 1990, and comprising of two reworked club classics from the year in question well... this time we are looking back at 1987 hard to believe club music this sophisticated sprang forth from the most rudimentary equipment available it truly was a pioneering age - and its testimony to the enduring power of these raw, formative grooves that they can still easily carry a dancefloor four tracks then ranging from slamming chicago jams, to drug addled english basement music all respectfully rewired for a new generation

once again another masterpiece from the dynamic reflection squad in your face! this time its from the uk monster voidloss. the title track acteon is already an oldy and paul felt in love with it a long time ago. it was already digital released in 2007, but we asked voidloss if he wanted to see this on pure gold as well... and of course he wanted that! so why dont we put up an whole ep with more dancefloor killers of this man? grovskopa is always capable of delivering good remixes and so he did. this time something a little bit different then what you expect, but with this track he shows us what an open mind he has on techno. rolling crunchy basslines and smooth pads bring this track in a perfect vibe to set the tone for the night. moment of total emptiness is a more deeper and hypnotic tune, but will definitely bang your head on the dancefloor. mr. a. paul is going for the rework and came up with a really great uplifting and oldschool touch. perfect tool to use in your dj sets! all n all a superior release by this uk studio wizard. lets pray for more of this pure quality stuff and keep our eyes on the the future. the scene need more labels like this which reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come.. dynamic reflection will represent only the true spirit of pure techno, they will put only the quality stuff back on the dancefloor!

emerging from afternoon studio sessions, the final scores, too many beers and then nights in an upstairs room at their local boozer, discomendments aka lee fisher (of mother >all funked up< fame) and paul kaminski have developed into a fine production unit who are into anything and everything. having started out cutting and pasting edits for their own dj use, they are now focusing on original productions that fuse different styles and genres from past to present. sleeping giant, their debut release on maxi discs, borrows unashamedly from the early network house sound, but fuses it perfectly with contemporary slo-mo house, disco and balearic vibes. whether on the beach or in the basement, the discomendments sound is equally at home! on the flip side, maxi label boss, pete herbert, turns up the heat and reworks the original into a dancefloor bomb. while disco deviant dicky trisco keeps his eye firmly on the mirror ball with a lo-slung ny influenced workout. listening to the sounds of maxi discs is guaranteed to release the pressure

nice price deal !!! prinzhorn dance school announce their return with new single – >seed, crop, harvest.< we havent heard a thing from tobin prinz and suzi horn for three years (their debut lp was released on dfa back in 2007) but theyve been far from work-shy. they toured extensively, then came home and built their own bespoke recording studio (the red shed) – and learned how to use it. time consuming endeavors which saw them drop off the music radar. which might just explain the title of the equally charged b-side >off the radar, off the system<. in their own words: >weve been busy. just not busy making records. you have to live too. you can only write so many songs about motorway service stations and airports<. they recorded and mixed both songs themselves in the red shed, with bob weston taking on mastering duties. …prinzhorn dance school are back! and dfa could not be more proud

the long term, super-productive story of class-act producers phonique and tigerskin continues with the next installment on ladies & gentlemen. over 4 tracks (and one more digital bonus) the pair explore their passionate, freaky and funky sides in this, perhaps the most functional release on the label yet! phonique throws us two hot ones with sandman and longdrink. the former skips through tripping, tooly and percussive territories while the latter goes all out with addictive rolling bass and hedonistic synth passages. marrying an old-school flavour with high-end, modern moments, phoniques side of this unmissable 12inch is just as strong as his legendary dj sets! tigerskin then takes centre stage with loop back in time and tonys riff. >in time< grows from a rolling drum array into a surging disco fueled killer, that whisks us away to a brighter age with its soaring strings!

part two in the private pressing series of bottin! again crazy limited and extremely good! two hot tracks covering each one side with upbeat italo tracks that takes no prisoners! the funk driven aextacy on the a-side with its sexy vocals leaves not one girl on the side! on the flip there is teak lover with is pure italo drive and bouncing bassline and bombastic synths. disco just don t get much hotter then this. recommended!

murphy jax and mike dunn with some classic chicago tracks as if dj international is still in its hay days! murphy jax sharp production catches the 25 year old chicago house vibes and delivers a more then excellent tribute with one of the greatest voices in house. and a great debut too! on remix duty its legowelt and alden tyrell doing what they do best... tearing up the dancefloor with devastating remixes. legowelt in a psychedelic way and tyrell throws in some 303. difficult to pick a favorite with these three versions

string release on uq (jus-eds label) by two new names. basic stripped down tracks that slowly build and build with intens strings on the a-side a deeper detroit-esque tracks and then a more traditional house cut on the flip.

nice price deal !!! the final 12 inch vinyl taken from the turn the page album. whilst other tunes have hinted at it, >metroplex< fully embraces their inherent love of techno with huge half-time 808s and synths that would make juan atkins chomp at the bit. one for those who know and a lovely surprise for those who are yet to know. on the flip >future shock< sticking with the vintage outboard gear sounds the guys then up it once more for one final drum & bass rollout that has killer written all over it. turn it up, close your eyes and get marching!

you just wouldnt write a weird piano melody, put it through all your distortion pedals then write an epic post-disco jam around it. basically that doesnt work… or at least shouldnt… but das moth (aka: tokyo-dwelling dj, producer and punk bassist tim sullivan) has provided us with proof to the contrary in his debut 12 inch release featuring >moon< and the aptly titled >wrong<. yes it works, and its genius. we wont do any more head-scratching on how to describe this release, except to say that the vinyl is an absolute must-have, also featuring proto-house workout from heavyweights kink & neville watson.

when it hits there is no escaping this deeeeeep creepy crawly mind meld. it engulfs you, then sucks you into a womblike state, only to spit you back out onto the dancefloor where youll be jakking your ass off!

already getting massive dancefloor love from djs including erol alkan, ed chemical, pete herbert, chris duckenfield, horsemeat disco and disco bloodbath, flashback label s disco bandits wild geese take hot chip s wistful original then work pianos and organs to the bone to create the bastard lovechild of frankie knuckles and murk mating in a dark corner of the space terrace sometime around 1994. massive end of summer peak time party vibes only available on a very limited one sided 12

inspired by the stripped back technical set-ups of yesteryear, mike monday and will saul present the sequence 1 ep, the product of the two artists limiting themselves to a roland 909, a korg kaos pad, a dave smith polyevolver and recording their jamming on the fly. >we wanted to inject some excitement, energy and randomness into this release, so decided to play the tracks live with mike on the 909 and keys and will on filters and effects. we had a broad idea of where we were going before we pressed record, and recorded a few takes of each track, then took the best moments from each. the big challenge was reining in the slightly chaotic recordings, but after some tweaking we found a balance between old school rawness and modern production values.<

for its 20th release, absolut freak records is proud to present the much expected from outer space by nicolas chenard. the ep starts with parallelism, an ultimate tribute to the rave anthems, with its massive spacey disco loop and strings. already a classic! on do not educate, he rocks with his gameboy and shows his taste for 8-bit synthesis. then, the path reveals his singular melodic genius. the introduction takes you on a fantasy journey with hypnotic organ and flutes, before rolling an electro monster with killer pads. supported by cyberpunkers, david carretta, stereoheroes, donovans, saint pauli, dalcan & john lord fonda!

the amiably deranged erdbeerschnitzel, alias the dark side of the meat is called tim keiling, half of whose life has been spent making music. with his self-distributed album pathetik party, dispersed among an inhibited, then startled public in free download grab bags,he demonstrated the lavish, unrestrained use of the musical propeller, drawing on influences from drum&bass, elektro, breakbeat, hip hop, techno, deep house & disco.
