the summer is bad as always in munich, but that is no reason to not have fun and spreading out the fire cuts. the 12 inch starts off with anisa, dedicated to marcos lady in mind and partner in wine. the eastern influences from his hood arent easy to ignore, and if u listen very carefully u can feel and smell the shisha dust inside the landwehr street.
in a city like munich its hard to rent an extra room for a studio due the extremely high prices, so we all have bedroom studios with the advantage that we can do music whenever we feel to. however our stressin turkish neighbour behaves like the pain in the ass of the whole neighbourhood. but we all have a vision and the night gives us the support we need to create our own space and our own time within our own spirit on 180 g vinyl from now on with a vinyl only cut on every 12 inch. twenty-three foreva!

the special edition of blurs debut lp on 180 gram vinyl.

welcome reisssue for monster soul-funk lp >disconnection<, one of the most obscure and sought-after releases from top 70s disco label, prelude. ridiculously expensive and hard-to-find in the original, this album is stuffed full with killer tracks spanning warm, soulful disco, high-stepping groove and boogie-heavy funk all written and produced by robert holmes. standouts include the jazzy free-style >dead on the case<, later reworked for the mysterious french skyline project, cool jazz-funk groover >bay city<, recently edited by none other than balearic maestro lexx, and the floor-friendly chunky funk workout >cash money<. however no track is a filler on this superb album which fully deserves its holy grail status with collectors. essential!

very special 2 x 10inch boxset ! saste002 marks the second release in the stellate series: sounds gathered from the experimental frontiers and outer edges of electronic music

foolish felix dickinsons superb cynic label with another hot one! cynics latest release features another killer track from l.h.a.s. inc. (jamie read and felix dickinson). analogue synths and vintage drum machines rock along with an infectious old school style reminiscent of the early sounds coming from chicago and new york in the late 80s early 90s. think clubhouse meets nu groove. on the b side phoreski (felixs fellow resident at londons bad passion) delivers a remix that takes the track to another level, darker haunting synths and a robo vocal asking: do you like the way you feel, will you dance with me?

addison groove (aka antony williams) bestritt als headhunter seit 2007 sieben releases auf dem einflussreichen label tempa und erwarb sich einen kultstatus innerhalb der dubstep-szene. 2010 kam dann die überraschende wendung mit einem der fettesten bass-tracks der dekade (footcrab),und das unter dem neuen pseudonym: addison groove.das feedback zu footcrab seitens der dance-szene war phänomenal,von kritiker- wie von kommerzieller seite. nicht nur die dubstep-djs,sondern diesmal auch techno- & house dj-schwergewichte wie aphex twin, surgeon, ricardo villalobos und mr scruff spielten footcrab hoch und runter und machten addison groove einem breiteren publikum bekannt.addison grooves einfluss auf die uk-bass music-szene ist gewichtig und ungebrochen, und sein von chicago ghetto tek und der juke-szene inspirierter style führte zu einem großen interesse an diesen neuen genres der bass music.die erwartungen sind hoch, doch wir sind überzeugt,dass niemand enttäuscht sein wird.hört selbst!

agnes is known for his usual deep, dubbed-out minimal techno productions and explores as well more house-influenced rhythms and textures. agnes runs the geneva-based label sthlmaudio recordings. launched in 2003, sthlmaudio has released tracks by agnes, puma, octex, apoll, cabanne, croatian producers luka & lazo and lately the swiss duo azuni. agnès also had a well received ep on cabannes minibar label (treat me bad) and upcomming releases in late 2006 on plak records, einmaleins musik and perspectiv records. he has recently started to collaborate with the zurich based label drumpoet community under the moniker of cavalier. he also released to date 2 ep under his ray valioso name for real soon records in the uk.

this could make it to be one of the best techno records in 2012. amazing techno for euphoric dancefloors...

ok, we know what youre problem thinking…not another marvin edit! but hold your thoughts, this is something extraordinary and one of the best arranged and produced (not edited) tracks weve ever put out on gamm (no joke). with extra added keys and various production elements this is a 10 min and 52 seconds long boogie monster that will take you on an emotional ride youll never forget. yes, its that hot! but the flip isnt bad either with the revivra crew going uptempo with a super rework or remix (your choice) of crown heights affairs all-time ballroom classic. just like with the marvin track theyve turned the track inside out to an almost 10 min long disco cavalcade. the weekend starts and ends with this fantastic ep

i light another cigarette in the tittery the sparrow has landed. we have returned from our excursion to the modern and would like to share what we brought with you: some showtunes and a twelve tone row. the show, as it turns out to be, is our very own. we started out writing new material to perform on stage, after we had found out it was great fun to refrain our instrumentation to vocals, piano and bad acting. originally very attracted to the- as our label told us- very clandestine idea of releasing three 12inches with very limited playability for djs, we agreed not to ruin our dial friends and work on an album instead.

a collection of remixes from one of nycs finest djs/producers/writers featuring club mixes of some of the worlds finest mcs mr vegas, natalie storm, greg nice and gotti boy chris… this is another melted dubs ltd edition exclusive. file somewhere between hip hip, todd terry, bmore and addison groove.

its been a long time coming but house sound is back with its fourth release. nicholas label brings together five emerging talents for a huge 12 inch release. mat chiavaroli and massimo di lina take care of the a side with two low down deep house grooves. the b-side is a funky affair with tracks from jordan peak, bubbin dub and yuri shulgin. absolute killer!

for uzuri 018 we return to one of our home grown artists – jitterbug. time has flown since his last release for us in 2010, but we have been quite eager to get some new material out from him for a while – and, based on feedback we have had, plenty of other people are keen to hear more from him too. both his raw winter and beaten trax eps were pretty popular releases for us and his dj appearances always create a stir, so we are pleased to bring you this, the arcane theory ep. the track sequencing on this record is pretty aggressive – front-loaded with the confrontational rise of the machines. a track that really lives up to its title, sounding like the production line at cyberdyne systems… all stomp and evil synths, like a bad mood e-dancer. fallout couldnt be further from that – relaxed and making no attempt at all to get in your face. itll win you over, though. just a nice, deep groove and a lovely, phased beat. could play it for hours… the whole of the flip is devoted to nomads, a chiming, acidic wander. nearly eleven minutes in length. the kicks never at the fore on this one – most of the action occurs at the mid and high frequencies – a resonant 303, lots of hi hats and, later, synths which expand on the eastern-flavour of the track title

continuing on from the massive kon 12 inch released on basic fingers we welcome back our good friend kok. on the a side koko delivers a real uplifting feel-good disco/boogie scorcher that will make you wish for those hot summer parties. stay with me by norman connors is perhaps not his most known track but we will guarantee this bad boy will be the prime time number for many djs as koko really takes this track to another level. soulfulness at its very best! on the b-side burning up by imagination has, since its release almost 30 years ago ripped up dancefloors all over with its piano chord hook and a steady bassline. this mix is an updated version with lots more production details and plenty of koko flavour. its already been tried and tested in the basic finger kitchen with an exceptional result.

max duke (delphine records, smiley fingers) is debuting for shaker plates and gets remix support by rené

akufen is back in great shape with some new original material for his own label musique risquée, the only label where you can find these unidentified musical objects. five tracks of swinging melodic madness like only akufen can craft. if these songs dont bring you a smile, well, too bad for you.

a1 – flufftronix featuring 215 the freshest kidz – bassface (kanji kinetic remix) – kanji kinetic works his magic on flufftronix, transforming the original track into a drumstep monster with his trademark mutant bass sound. previously released digitally on play me 2, tthis has been causing some serious damage.

for a blink of an eye shhhh leaves the mystical and foggy output to open its doors for floorburning loopfunk with a gypsy taste by no one else than german techno�producer sascha muller, an experienced senior in electro�scene releasing his infinite creative output for some decades now. starting with the main theme >sommernachtstraume< (summernight dreams) and a video with handmade moulded plasticine characters it burns down the romanian street credibility at first glance. an additional remix by bluff with reminiscences to ancient hypnotic techno music as celebrated in cologne mid 90s closes the a�-side while a new confusing journey starts on b�-side. with its two hypnotic big city nightlife classical electro pieces >bangkok< and >future punk part ii< the soundtrack returns again and reveals a soft carpet full of robotic cyberpunk maelstrom for dancers and listeners after 6a.m. we welcome another new unexpected artist on shhhh, stating that eclecticism is not a bad word, but a desired place to be.

awesomely executed take on uk bass, footwork, house & techno - highly recommended

dustin zahn with his own interpretation of techno... four proper techno remixes... a bad ass behind the decks, and in the studio since 1998...his productions ended up on some bigger techno labels as well as more obscure imprints. along with ian lehman, he forged the well-received attack people live performance… bringing his show across the us, to south america, and europe as well. when he is not on tour with his dj sets or supercharged live pa sessions, he co-promotes some of minneapoliss biggest techno parties. in addition, he also manages his labels abiotic recordings and enemy records, which both receive wide support from the techno community.

nice price deal !!! producer adrian sherwood and ari up, the lead singer of the formative british all-female punk group the slits, first met in 1978.

marc houle ist bekannt für seine veröffentlihungen auf richie hawtins label minus. nun veröffentlicht der us-produzent sein neues label auf seinem eigenen label items & things, das er gemeinsam mit magda und troy pierce betreibt. auf undercover schwingt sich sein synthesizer-getriebener techno zu ganz neuen höhen auf. es sind anklänge an old-school-chicago-house, die frühen lfo, die bleeps und clonks von sweet exorcist, nitzer ebb oder den new yorker freestyle-sound. natürlich steht marc houles neues album abermals auch im zeichen seiner alten liebe zu detroit techno. trotz aller einflüsse aus der vergangenheit ist der sound von >undercover< ganz klar aus dem hier und jetzt. erneut setzt der mann techno-standards

jean wells story is not an extraordinary one in the world of soul, although her voice certainly was. her biggest hit >have a little mercy< from 1967 was a glorious slice of deep soul, a plea to a lover, whom she is addicted to, but who doesn t seem to notice. her gospel-trained voice perfectly encapsulating those feelings, whilst a stark arrangement dominated by an ethereal organ and dramatic horn stabs heightens the unbearable effect this man is having on jeans life. yet at the time this record only reached number 25 in the r&b charts, just another bit of genius amongst many, thrown out by the black american music industry at one of its most creative and profligate periods.
jean left us with a fantastic recorded legacy, of which her recordings for clyde otis, which are gathered here, are the choicest cuts.

roberto clementi hails from a small town on italys east coast somewhere between riccione and rome. he is much more of an inventive sound designer as opposed to an average music producer. his tunes range from deep and lush to uplifting and party-pumping - often fueled by minimal subby basslines, retro-ish melodic elements, elegantly cut-up vocals, and an overall warm, analog feel. he currently has releases and remixes on labels like unfoundsound, monique musique, distric raw, undercut, stolen moments, manual music, kompass musik, suara, greel pound, sk supreme, and others. he is also one-half of i-rob alongside roby dj, and they have releases on labels like autist, tenax recordings, clasque musique, and others. his debut ep for steadfast features 3 techno trax ranging in mood and atmosphere but all sharing a perfect dancefloor sensibility and top-notch production. brendon moellers reshape aint half bad either.

mkt records get out a new product signed by raf pisani and marco conte a.k.a. audiomatiques with a project of 3 tracks, where can be found everything about techno. the faboulus duo had already become known for the ep >so bad<, released on loose records on may 2010 with roberto capuano, including remix by rino cerrone. very nice project from neapolitan duo, south school is ever on top and in running evolving. mkt records, top quality techno.

electronic duo cage & aviary are set to release their debut album >migration< on prins thomas internasjonal imprint. part man, part machine, part cockatiel, cage & aviary take flights of fancy whenever they can. jamie paton is a dj, a one-finger keyboardist, and a pot-tickler. nigel of bermondsey is a musician, south londons finest oscillator, and a dedicated dabbler. together they are winners of the cosmic lottery. having put out releases to much acclaim on the ltd editions that are dissident distribution, cage & aviary have since spread their wings with releases on dfa, tiny sticks and astro lab.

in advance of the release of dapayk & padbergs third full-length sweet nothings - this time round on stil vor talent - the experienced duo are teasing us with the fluffy cloud ep, which showcases three of the album’s many diverse highlights, while keeping the vinyl lovers happy. the a-side bears the lps title track >sweet nothings<, on which dapayk & padberg’s sound takes a turn as they come knocking with a deep but forceful groover, whose distorted high-hats and trancey synth stabs create a vibe both euphoric and weirdly subdued. the lyrics, moreover, emphasise the duality at the core of many dapayk & padberg tracks as the latter ponders ‘you’re good for me - you’re bad for me’. showing another of the duo’s many facets, ‘backyard’ enchants thanks to mystical lyrics sung beautifully over a deep quasi-dubstep structure. marking the ep’s mid-point, the atmospheric song shines through intricately crafted fragility and is the perfect contrast to the previous and following track, while leaving a strong desire for more stuck in the listener’s mind. on the b-side, ‘fluffy clouds’ does quite the opposite to what its title suggests - rather than being a soft little piece, we are treated to big-room techno fodder à la berghain. a skeletal framework of heavy kicks, dark pads, white noise and dense metallics works relentlessly underneath a cold spoken word, proclaiming >not human, not animal - just a body in motion<. machine funk par excellence.

ultraschall is an homage to the first big techno club in munich. the owners of harry klein were part of the old ultraschall, which has a unique legendary status nowa¬days. the older generation in particular often long for the good old days. yes those times shouldnt be forgotten, especially not in terms of sound, but its also important to move on and attempt new things. like supporting vinyl, going to a who¬lefood shop or ending war. ok that might sound like a bro¬ken record, but how about spending less time on facebook and actually with your friends, cooking for your parents or organizing a break dance battle in your backyard? daniel takes us on a journey through the past and back to the future again. a charming mixture of laid-back grooves combined with some rough n ready rave moments make this a rapturous trip, no matter what time it is. track names are a really interesting element of music. some artists dont care about them at all and call their tracks a1 or something non-descript. yet many titles can be really funny, others made up words, and some corre¬spond to current events or times. some just really fit the sound. if you lose something, in general its a pretty nasty and unsettling feeling. but you have to deal with bad luck when it strikes. losing something can teach you an im¬portant lesson, or simply show you what it means to be unfortunate and down. not knowing the lows as well as the highs wont allow you to evaluate life very well. most important is to really feel and be yourself, despite the ups and downs.

stephane signore delivers an excellent record called >we live in a world of ba57ard ep< chordy and firm techno that will rock in venues with good soundsystem. with long an well constructed builds on the opening track called bad trip. this is a vinyl that will no doubt get support from larger names in the industry. the second track is the stanny franssen remix of ba57ard. this is a nice rolling remix with a lot of dynamics and way more uplifting that the original. for the 3rd track on the ep we find this original piece. this is a very deep somewhat chaotic production, this might just be the eps winning track. with a strong arrangement and little vocal edits this will no doubt get played alot. for the closing track we have got >paranoid< the title covers the load, strong dark techno music that will rock your world.

eddie van halen, well-known for his guitar prowess but also a classically-trained pianist, used 1984 as an opportunity to take the band into different territory. additionally, 1984 was the first van halen album to be recorded at eddie van halen s home studio.

after the successful zenker brothers record, we continue with a solo record by dario zenker. it sounds like dario bought some healthy food, went to mcdonalds and i ate it there to provoke some marketing campaign against intensive livestock farming. we know for a fact that he has an unlimited love for good food, dirty old school hip hop, porn, broken beats and kung fu by the way. his flat on the 5th floor gets a lot of light during the summer and also heats up a lot. can you smellthe sweat? speaking of sweat, you should check out inner circles sweat. instead of a proper high 5, we would even give 6 for this one! oh what a bad way of trying to make some sense with the track title... but honestly give 6 is a hard one. well i guess its time to stop writing some weird shit and start listening...
