detroit, dub, rave, idm & minimal sind deutlich hörbare einflüsse die mal mehr, mal weniger aufblitzen. shed hat ein sehr feines, homogenes album erschaffen, welches unverkennbar den ostgut & berghain sound transportiert und eine deutliche nähe zum hardwax umfeld aufweist

incl boris brejcha remix, busy time of the year continues for the jesus loved you label as two artists join forces to put out the release no.012. the original song was produced by somewhat mysterious space explorers duo. not much is known about this guys, their music, however, seems to have a distinct oriental flavour. in the southwestern parts of europe , >kaffana< is a traditional type of barroom where male customers like to spend their spare time. the track is like a short movie, describing the life of such place. the highly percussive first segment seems to correspond to the busy evening hours with their lively music and dancing. the exotic oriental theme that follows leads you to the misty afterhours when everything becomes possible. and just like in a good movie, the last part is the most exiting, making you feel as if you were involved in a car chase..,

like a proper immigrant family enjoying the life of culturally greener pastures, the vakant family continues to grow in berlin. closely following the exponential trend of mergers and acquisitions in the multi national corpo borg, vakant heavy industries signs the third in a series of new talent to the team. berlins dewalta a.k.a. david koch, long time friend of vakant, has completed assimilation into the freaky fold. a side salgaro is about as obese as a track can get. its happy, its huge, its pan ethnic, its sensitive, its irreverent. its so good it was immediately used for onur ozers up coming club dj mix cd. on the aa side farina lives. its freakier, its smoother, its quirkier, its cup runs massively over. we are talking insulin shock plump. we cant even identify which genres it spans. it sounds like the amalgamation of everything currently succulent and lots more that will be

dj support from ricardo villalobos, tobi neumann (cocoon), raresh (rpr sound-system), locodice , luciano, onur ozer & rob mello, luke solomon, geddes, matt tolfrey... la raza starts with deep tribal rhythms and a discrete baseline, as the track builds, weaving in synthetic indian calls which finally breakout and turn this into a peak-time monster. on the flip, dinky takes a rare remix excursion, creating a deep psychedelic version of the original. her trademark groove wraps itself around you drawing you in further and further stripping everything away into a hedonistic peak, then finally dinky releases you from the spell & back into the rhythms…. already receiving great reaction and picked by onur ozur for his next cd compilation, this will be the start of horizontals sound summer 2008

alexander s debut with this new italian label offers two serious minimal trax. if you re ready for change these sounds will change everything! different sounds will produce different humours...

jesse siminski is one of those musicians its impossible to ignore. whether producing as heartthrob or alter-alter ego vivianne projects his work is instinctive, insightful and driven by an irresistible force that instantly rubs off on the audience. its no surprise then that the first single to be lifted from heartthrobs eagerly awaited debut album >dear painter, paint me< is >signs<, a track that fully demonstrates the extent of his repertoire. one of the highlights of his not-to-miss live set, its also become a corner stone of richie hawtins dj sets over the last few months due to the massive crowd response it generates whenever it drops. billed as homage to classic detroit techno, theres a real air of expectancy about the mix friendly introduction. the powerful kick pattern, swirling sci-fi vocal efx and loose hi hat groove soon make way for the urgent, cavorting main melody that spins off into another dimension before a massive, resonating synthetic bass wipes out everything in its path. one of the main ideas running through the album is the juxtaposition and layering of different rhythms and time signatures and this really comes across on signs, with disco and caribbean inflections adding a cut and thrust to the chugging groove, creating the perfect foil to the sonic mayhem overhead. the b-side features apprentice – a tag heartthrob can safely leave behind with the release of >dear painter, paint me<. of course its another guaranteed floor filler with a finely honed acidic riff that immediately taps into the subconscious...

the spring time is aproaching and jesus loved you production is blossoming like never before. day by day, the familiy of valentino kanzyanis proteges is getting larger and larger as he keeps on recruiting more and more of the worlds most promising young djs and producers. topping the list of those who have been choosen to bear his sign, here comes chris barratt to show our crowd what he is made of. magicalminimalpopmusic is his second release for the jesus loved you and we can assure you that it is everything its title promises it to be - fun, minimal and emotional. the release expresses two sides of chris barrat. the gentle, almost fragile angel bells is a very kept back piece and is - as chris himself would have put it - all about emotions. whistlechimes is a more dynamic track with a perfectly fitted long bridge in the middle, making one feel chris barrats his huge dj potential.

recorded live at the montreux jazz festival, switzerland, june 28, 1974.

ultraphat remixes by massi dl and ivan smagghe !! following the huge success of the original >i’ll lick your spine<, released on soma’s sublabel pnuma in 2007 let’s go outside (lgo) has gone from strength to strength. with his critically acclaimed album ‘a picnic with the hunters’ lgo explores everything from nearly silent ambient to the most destructive of techno, and all that lies between. smagghe delivers a freaky remix of epic proportions. massi dl s remix tears apart the original track and pieces it together like a picasso, disjointing the vocals over a bed of warped textures.

the 3rd release by scott grooves on his natural midi label, this is scotts first ever ep and color vinyl release. all 4 tracks possess a different mood and distinct raw edge, which plays well on this well balanced ep.track 1 dark blu speaks for itself, simply stated and deeply enriched. the relentless melody never lets go of the groove and the groove never lets go the melody. everything in this track harmonizes together perfectly.track 2 dna definitely disturbs the peace with vintage analog synth sounds. the old school sounding vocal sample echoes thruout the track that >detroit needs analog records< take a listen and decide if that echoes true!track 3 >it doesnt all have to be techy< as the title suggest there is know >techyness< here, its all about a deeply stormin groove that is enriched with warm melodic keys and a lovely guitar, yes i said guitar that altogether creates a feelin thats organic but not boring. track 4 decimalquivers in and out with a fm gritty synth stab, complete with minimal drums or as scott calls them >drims< which is the term scott uses for minimal drums. also present is a deep pad sound that brews slowly like an eruption. co-produced by panther, a name you will hear more about in the future

acos coolkas return on theomatic just in time for summer. >stellar way< is a sublime journey through warm atmospheric strata followed by refreshing funk-powered waves of >meridian< which receives an extra rub of aural refinement from amberflame aka an-2. everything gets topped off with a celestial downbeat splendor of >lazy moon< - a perfect soundtrack for star gazing sometime in mid-august

steve kotey needs little introduction, head honcho of bear entertainment, an accomplished producer and a member of chicken lips. kotey is joined on this record by max essa. having previously released on paper recordings back in 2001 max also played guitar with the infamous, long distance runners. steve & max have delivered 3 beautiful records in the shape of the salon de l herbe series. this ep offers up everything good that is disco from the up tempo 1974 a side to the spaced out vibes of 1988. if that wasnt enough this 12inch release is finished off with a 3 rd track 1981 on the cosmic/balearic tip. the years may become confusing but with live drums, guitars and slick arrangement words cant do these productions justice. more to come from these two with a follow up in the salon de l herbe series dueto be released in june/july 08, exciting stuff!

killer modern house from depths of deep space. adam marshalls original mix takes swinging chicago drums and paints them a dark black, while chord stabs morph and evolve in a tough, organic style on this 11-minute journey. mike shannons impressive re-working tightens everything up and funks the hell out of the groove with sizzling dry hats, sub-bass ruminations, and one serious breakdown. one of his best remixes yet by far. both are serious club killers

rico tubbs - the finish lion of everything funk is here and he ain’t going nowhere ‘till you bow at his overly skin tight jeans and kiss his ethically sound sneakers! this is exactly what you will be doing when you hear his brand new album though on menu music. club monster gangsters is the first single taken from this full length player which is packed to the brim with full on monster mashouts

classic old school electro cuts series !! part 1 starts with tunes by the packman, newcleus, c-bank and many more..

loved by alex from tokyo, alex attias, ame, dixon, marcus worgull, peter kruder, roland appel, tony lionni and many more.. fabrice lig, the prince of everything electronic, is back after his very acclaimed x-slaves. he delivers the goods once again, starting off here with chapter one in a purple raw trilogy. first up is the track, based around a jerky syncopated rhythm and a very dry kick, which remains light all the way. as usual, lig’s arrangements evolve progressively before they wipe us away with their screeching pads and synthetic melodies. a great mixture of minimal techno and detroit nostalgia. no doubt, the more efficient track produced by fabrice lig and hammered by dixon, ame, alex attias, quarion… much more aggressive, bump bump is built around fat analogue sounds, or acid noises if you prefer which seem to emulate screaming animals. one is easily carried away by an animalistic groove that keeps on building from the beginning till the end. it all ends with the very funky the riff pourpre, a perfect crossover between metro area and parliament. the retro sounds sit nicely on a big fat beat, the kind which lig excels in.

nice price deal !!! serious electro -/techhouse businezz!!! mixes by roger prinz and roasted and fried!!

taken from the patterns 25 - elton d dropped a fresh n funky piece of tech-house material on that.. the tune is reconstructed by some of the hottest stars in the bizz. what to think of marco nastic, who recently turn just about everything into gold! murphy and fischer take thing slightly deeper, where the essential parts of the original by elton are left intact. the brazilian techno artist also present a suitable follow up to this magnificent dancefloor smasher

the term >ballad< is written similarly in many languages of the western hemisphere. it is a antique word. you can find its etymological origin in the latin verb >ballare< - which means >to dance< - and the greek verb >ballein< - wich means >to move<. a ballad is always a story told through music. in recent times the term >ballad< is often associated with greasy / absurd pop music. what a shame! ballad inc. releases tracks that earn the label >ballad<. on our first release >exile< you can listen to the epic story >high hopes of salvation< by quietpoint and to two short stories by xdb. >anilem< and >jupit< got everything a ballad needs. of course you can dance to it. of course you can move your body. but this should not be the main issue! there is so much more in modern instrumental music. who needs words to tell a story?

the track >uhlenbusch< shows the minimalistic, but playful side of the duo consisting of the dj ron schatte and producer christian haberer. clapping hands groove along with flabbily vocals. the bassline winds everything to the basics of electronic music put in a new robe. incl. a fabrikat remix by jay la forge (deep in rhythm/schieber) and a flatmate remix by asferico. the fabrikat remix has the power and straightness to be played primetime on the mainfloor of your favorite techno club. in the flatmate remix, asferico strips the original version down to its meer fragments to create a cool and gripping piece of minimal music. an awesome sound experience that makes the record a captivating label debut.

incl. kollektiv turmstrasse mix, after a while of absence johnjon returns with his 2nd solo release. johnjon started his musical career in electronic music working together with experienced producers in the studio, but in the end it was never satisfying for him. so he decided to lock himself up in the studio and dont come out till everything is right. he just got out of there and delivers the this stunning track. meanwhile is hypnotic and moving, groovy and a little trancy but definitely emotional. the breathing pad cuts through and the small but define changes make everything fit together. a perfect combination of a catchy theme and a solid groove. the remix is delivered by kollektiv turmstrasse, already known from successful releases on labels such as connaisseur rec, diynamic, ostwind and musik gewinnt freunde. christian and nico (kt) took the pad and squeezed out a groovy houseline, fit it into their beats and added a little bit of funk outcome is a wicked release. it is released on the label >baalsaal<, the new sophisticated label, the public transport of emotions
