seasoned producer, musician and dj, mike monday has always been at the forefront of the uks electronic music scene. his skills have been honed and developed through years in the late 90s spent producing a variety of styles of music. time well spent indeed as this fertile training ground prepared him for the presentation of his critically acclaimed 2nd studio album, songs without words. heavily influenced by the dubstep and funky scene, yoppul has the ethnic sounds of london written all over it. its warm drums sounds, hefty bass and quirky melodies epitomize mikes signature sound and are a tribute to the soundtrack that is currently ruling his citys streets

the berlin-based dj and producer eva be is no newcomer to the international dance-music scene. 2 years ago she released her long-player >moving without travelling< on bestseven / sonar kollektiv records creating her very own trademark dub-influenced electronic sound. this ep is the logical continuation of her musical output as she has been djing quite a heavy 4/4 sound in the last years playing alongside best works records djs andre lodemann, roland appel and alex barck of jazzanova in places such as goa/madrid, cookies/berlin, dampfzentrale/bern, etc.
>new crack< combines an electronic dub driven bass sound with classic old-school house influences - dancefloor business. darko essers mix is more intrecate giving the orginal a more dramatic crystalline twist. last but not least andre lodemanns previously unreleased remix of eva bes tune >she walks alone< sees the light.

after his hard hitting remix on the hydro 13.8 vinyl 12inch a.p. is back on plastic with an original release for d.a.v.e. the drummers all conquering hydraulix label. this has intelligence, forward thinking ideas and subtle arrangements all set in a hard hitting production package. this is techno you cannot afford to live without!

excellent dubby deep house ...

la mezcla is without a doubt last summers smash hit! played by almost everybody and voted as the ibiza track of 2009!

supported by tolga fidan, someone else, the mountain people, 2000 and one, renato cohen, karotte, butane, bloody mary.... following the hot release from chris lattner…einmaleins musik introduces a very special release from new added artist aldo cadiz (chile) which spreads again our very unique trademark style of music. each track shows aldos ability to create an efficient and deep sound from a few sounds without a lack of feeling.

after releasing tevo howards >move< hhyr is back with more music from the howard family. this release sees tevo producing his father rick howard again. after working together on the first beautiful granville release about fourteen / without your love, the duo returns with the >i wont lay back<. vocal chicago house just as we llike it deep and raw! i wont lay back is possibly the best track they have worked on so far. comes as original and underground mix. the b-side features a remix of about fourteen. classic stuff! raw and dirty house music. when music is this good, let there be renaissance! our house is your rush!

part three of the cocoon 10inch series is all about the modern british techno scene, and the first hypnotic exclamation mark is set by yousef from liverpool. after collaborations with carl cox and x-press 2, >come home< - which can also be found on sven väths current ibiza review >the sound of the tenth season< - seems to become one of the most important tracks of the winter season 2009/2010: with a steadily rising crescendo, yousef is weaving around a >strings-meet-piano< motive with massive reverb that gives the tribal beats a deeper meaning and thus will be enchanting the clubs. the flip side belongs to london-based dj and producer tim green. he is releasing on labels such as four twenty, sci+tec and trapez for more than three years now and his co-production with emerson todd, >exercise<, even made it to cocoon compilation i. >lone time< lives on metal-like percussions that are loaded with adrenaline and once more prove the fact that modern techno cant go without tribal elements

this is the second release by antonelli for dreck after his boogie ep in 2007. in classic antonelli working method the material here is made without a cpu, just with hardware. this gives the tracks a warm feel and a sense of an older mode of production, but nevertheless the two tracks are fully rooted in the now! stefan schwander starts out with the idea of the bassline as a genre-defining element in music. he then works from this central idea towards an euphoric and a reductive version, resulting in the two tracks here at hand, >disconnected< on the a side, and >operatore< on the b side. they both feature a beautifully analogue disco (if not moroder) bassline, build up continuously without ever meandering or loosing direction - very straight and pushing the dancefloor forward with >operatore< being the more bouncy and carefree track of the two.

hello and welcome to the new decade. we are kicking off the 10s with a smash from the 00s - as a hinge between the decades, so to say. adas >lovestoned< was everybodys favourite track from her fabulous >adaptations< album, a milestone of romatic techno with vocal support by raz o hara. one of this songs biggest admirers is president bongo of gusgus fame. together with jack shidt he forms the dynamic duo gluteus maximus which already caused a stir with their amazing remix for sigur ros >gobbledigook< on kompakt pop. their lovestoned remix is astounding, too. sex, modern, efficient without losing one gramm of soul. the flipside is taken care of gui boratto who is never far away when techno meets pop in such a sensitive way. his remix makes all great things from the original a bit greater and its pushing the romance factor to the max.
great job, comme d habitude!

the 9th release on excentric muziks off-shoot rekluse brings with it a very welcome edition to the rekluse family, we are sure matt cooper is somebody who you will be hearing a lot more about in the nearest future, that is if you havent heard of him already...
from his mixmag >future hero< tag, to his efx1000 tutorial videos for pioneer (he has been likened to james zabiela but with bigger bass lines) and his ongoing residency at the dirty disco in leeds (the northern light was the original home for the club night which the ep title pays homage to), the only piece missing from his jigsaw was the production side of things, until now. he recently teamed up with spektre to launch their new respekt label with the >cuernos cubanos< collaboration, and now we are very proud to present matts first ever solo productions, brought together as >the northern light ep<.
>pack your trunks< is dark twisted statement of intent, with a hearthrob-esque hook giving off the feeling that the track is ever so slightly on the brink of loosing it, before that tough gloomy groove reminds you just why you were listening in the first place, and why you have to listen to it just that one more time...
>triptup< attacks with a driving upbeat vibe that also arrives with a crazy tinged edge to it, keeping the dance floor bouncing off the walls, this has never failed to receive anything less than devastating reactions during its many roadtests on our travels.
>the swinger< rounds off the ep with a kinky tech houser that swaps the power of its 2 harder brothers for some chirpy tomfoolery, without compromising on its absolute effectiveness to well and truly rock the party whilst getting completely stuck in your head. and dont forget the breakdown...

deepart returns with his snapshots concept. deepart is andi hart, and if theres one man out there which keeps true to his own sounds its andi hart. hes been pushing his sounds for almost ten years now, ever without doing any concessions. this double 12 inch brings eight new typical deepart tracks, they come in his typical minimal lo-fi style, but with the soul deep within. sometimes warm, frantic some other time.

hive audio is here – a brand new label, run by the makers of the infamous hive club, located in the the industrial quarter of zurich. the imprint was founded by samuel gmur and adrian wöllhaf, better known as animal trainer with some great releasing on oliver koletzkis stil vor talent, amongst others. zurich is not only party capital of beautiful switzerland, it is more and more becoming a habitat for talented and creative music producers and djs, who will now get a new international platform. releases will be held mainly by residents of the hive club itself – benja will be given the honour to start off with his track paradose. >paradose< impresses with a funky percussion loop, ultra-brief chords and scantily applied vocal snippets. benja keeps it dust-dry, leaving out every kind of frippery and lifting the track to a real &#64258,,oor-&#64257,,ller without any razzmatazz needed. on the &#64258,,ip we have a remix by christian burkhardt, who needs no further introduction. he turns the number into a real techno loop monster, which will catch you within a few beats, and then wont let loose again. hypnotic and twinkle-toed at the same time, his remix easily will suit any after hour or peaktime set to the same degree. christian burkhardt himself is also one of our favourite guests in the club. this is why, of course, we are double happy to welcome a hive club resident on our hive audio 001.

constant development in stagnating musical landscapes is the key to remain catchy as an artist these days. adrian martin & eleminal are always yearning for progress. >la calma<, their new release on miniload gives you a listen on their growing sophistication. an adroit beat conduction married to a sneaky bass giving birth to a tremendous and powerful musical moment, peppered with hidden hooks and a savory break. >la calma< is smoother than previous releases by adrian & eleminal without condemning a certain roughness of preceding collaborations. tom clark (highgrade records) follows that footprint, though adding a more frontal bass paired with a dreamy almost breathed on jazzy feel melody construction. miniload artists doppelt gemoppelt are redefining >la calma< in a straighter harmonization. no vanilla - just a clear and well structured body, adding cushy noises and warm imbedded waves.

the begining of a new stage on exquisite music, a time to explore different directions without forgeting the imprint s deepfoundations. gilles bineaux delivers a neo-detroit ish masterpiece, whilst bioground takes you on a tripped out journey

swen hutmacher returns to momentum, accompanied by bob morane, both guys well known freaks from germany. his first release on momentum was sold out within three weeks, now swen took some time for getting new input and this release is a strong follow up! >niveauregulierung< will fit into every minimalistic set without loosing its techy appeal while >kiss me< is a sure shot also on the housy side of clublife, dominated by vocals throughout the whole track. unique release and big support for sure from all deejays with taste :-)

heavy support from: dubfire, richie hawtin, djulz, paco osuna, 2000 and one, barem, karrotte, bart skills, anthony collins, paul woolford ...
it is carlo lios turn to deliver his first release for quartz rec. >breakfast in the bag< is without any doubt his finest release up to date.
two powerful and groovy original tracks, blending the best of techno and house in a modern cocktail that ships out straight from toronto. man of the moment anton pieete completes the package with a big remix of the lead track. all killers - no fillers on this ep!

the 90s were without doubt the revolution of a genre of music called house music for those who remember when house was house. one of the biggest tunes in 1990, which made house music a crossover sound, was double dee feat. danny losito – found love. it was not just a record of many, it was the record of that time. now danny losito aka mr. double dee strikes again with a fantastic song and vocal performance in 3 versions to choose from.

after the debut albums from future beat alliance and aardvarck, delsin strikes again with this very deep soulful ambient techno album by dimension 5. until now dimension 5 did have only released one 12, but one which was directly praised by fabrice lig, laurent garnier and others. his album alien artform holds both deep, ambient like techno to listen to (think: john beltran & detroit escalator company) as well as more dancefloor-aimed material, without losing the soft touch, (think: kenny larkin & aril brikha). this is (detroit) techno as it is meant to be: soulful & deep. should appeal to fans of aril brikha, d.e.s. and the dubbier german techno stuff. tip!

one of the most famous techno labels from the past relaunches again with fresh energynew creativity and style, but without loosing it s roots and love for techno music! eady to hit the floors again with an amazing release of one of the labelfounders eric sneo called mass appeal madness incl. kyle geiger remix.

s.c.u.m. is back and with a plate that ll rock you right off your socks! none other then zero g has been selected to drop his long lost ransom tune that has been cained by almost all the bigshots and even was featured in ruskos essential mix! now this tune finally sees the light of day and ready to rock the dance floors on a global scale. dj nicon of rotterdams subway crew was big fan of this tune from the start and was surprised this never got a release. so naturally this got scooped for his personal scum imprint asap! and of course no release is finished without a suitable b side so flip it over for scorpion! a brand new club banger that delivers the dubstep sound ever so crispy! if your into the heavy side of dubstep then get on this!! play support: skream, benga, walsh, marlow, seven, 501, reso, matt-u etc.

the second installment in the split lp series is a dutch affair, but it has everything it needs and more to soon make name far abroad. each side of the record contains a complete work clocking in at about twenty minutes.
side a is >chime ep< by hydrus. the four tracks they contributed stand out because of their meticulous production and their wonderful sense of melody and emotion. this is music in the best electronic tradition, blending hiphop, idm, ambient, funk, drone and badass breaks. hydrus begins this twenty-minute journey with a funky bump and end it in a mess of nervous percussion, splintered to dust.
side b is an altogether positive and quirky piece of work by kettel. like most of his work of the last few years, >yellow baron< is exploding with beautiful melody. in six tracks kettel puts everything to work to make your head bop, to bring a smile to your face and a tear to the corner of your eye. classic stuff, without losing sense of experiment.

mike minds only previous release, >acid machine<, has been tigas most played record since it was made. a full-time turbo employee, he has spent the past few years getting his brain around making techno, and continues to impress us with his output. his debut ep, >resonate<, is something of a departure for our label, and one we are very proud of.
its amazing to have this kind of music coming directly out of turbo hq, it nails a sound that we have always tried to cultivate. minimal without being boring, trippy without being predictable, unafraid of melody, and with just enough analog imperfection and warmth to it.
both of the remixers we chose represent different sounds in techno that have influenced mikes sound.
1: sophisticated italian groove*
giorgio gigli is an italian minimal-trance maestro, an incredibly modern renaissance man who is also a trained sommelier.** he is rising in the ranks and catching up in profile to his occasional production partner, donato dozzy. hopefully we will have more of his tracks on turbo soon.
2: m¦n¦m¦l
hobo is a fellow canadian best known for his excellent work on m¦nus. rumor has it, he borrowed richies quad-macro template file to finish the final version of this remix... whatever he did, his second effort came up huge, this mix is excellent.
enjoy!
thomas von party

kebacid is the production alias for turbo all-stars jesper dahlbäck and jori hulkkonen. their previous releases on jespers defunct blank ltd are some of the best acid tracks of the decade. this is a monster that ought to keep all the die-hard turbo fans happy.
enjoy!

>cancel< is duesseldorf based producer antonelli electr. 3rd ep for level records. while most producers arrange their tracks on laptops, using the latest software synthesizers and sequencers, antonelli choose to ban computers from his studio in order to concentrate on a production method which hasn’t change much since the early days of house music. all tree tracks are arranged and recorded live without any edits resulting in very pure record which a magical flow.

roughly translated, hasta el fin means >the very last number of the night<, appropriate when you consider this is gigolos final release of 2009. the a&r process at gigolo is a constant and very simple formula! if hell likes it, plays it and gets a good reaction from the crowd then it needs to come out on his record label! no other record fits the criteria more the >hasta el fin<. this is a record that featured heavily in hells festivals and club sets and was played at the end of every after-hour he found himself. but its beginning is a little less finite.
the genesis came late last year when oliver ton invited various musicians for a jamming session. in the spirit of some masterful moments in music oliver ton and production partner ronald christoph captured something unique sounding with a dance record built largely around a vocal, guitar and piano performance. it was immediately signed to berlin based white records and assigned the fitting cat. no. of white999!!!
hell, an early supporter of both the record and label was smitten, personally requesting the license for gigolo. once this was granted he approached tony lionni for a remix. for many djs, including hell, tony lionnis >found a place< is without doubt one of the biggest records of 2009. so combining the talents of these two artists would appear to be a no brainer, and the results speak volumes. taking the vocal hook, layering it over a tough piano stab and italo style disco rhythm is the order of the day. as we approach the end of another decade for gigolo and the first of new millennium we are proud to present our last number of the 2009!

maximum bass present a sampler with some of the biggest names on the uk funkee scene. kickin off with south london s hardhouse banton crew and there mix of lazee ft neverstore, next up is the massive >loveshy< mixed by without doubt the biggest name in uk funkee the crazy cousinz aka flukes & dj paleface who have taken the uk by storm with anthems like >bongo jam< <do you mind< ft kyla. the flipside kicks off with an unreleased track namely platnum s new single >trippin< mixed by up & coming boys ill blu a duo from nw london. rounding things off is the greenmoney remix of the massive >day n nite< a superb ep showcasing the best in uk funkee

incl. manuel tur remix. the second chapter in mild pitch history reveals the cryptically twinkling gem that is langenberg s times , a dark yet sensitive house affair which easily bridges the gap from a rougher 1990s new jersey kind of feel to the modern takes on house music of today. filtered stab fragments and deep chordal layers gently slide into each other like watercolour and the shifting frequencies of a sizzling vinyl record contribute to langenberg s most thrilling work to date. on the flip, manuel tur gears up for an atmospheric remix expansion reminiscent of his critically acclaimed 0201 album debut on freerange earlier this year. countless harmonic layers twine around a filtered disco sample, without ever revealing its full sound spectrum while the raw tripping beat keeps stomping relentlessly…

our jazzy multi instrumentalist, dewalta a.k.a. david koch, returns to vakant with another popping fresh release, as earnestly house as house can get. since his first vakant release in 2008 (va021 salgaro/farina) davids music has taken him around the world in black largely covering our earths northern and southern hemispheres. side a is graced by move yo sitting as close to late 1990s baby ford as one can get without a time machine and personal guide to londons underground. david somehow owns this genre while still making it distinctly his. b1 night shade keeps the housey goose bumps going with a drier and more direct approach. cheeky bleeps and chunky bass balance dark spacey vocals to land the track somewhere between night and day. >angels trumpet< at the b2 position closes this stellar ep out with a track that again borrows from the genre, but continues way beyond its standards with melodic elements that push and pull you in multiple directions resulting in no less than dance floor catharsis.

without much need for introduction, archipel welcomes the talent of minus niederflur who bring with them the darkly blinding >lumen ep<. a lumen is a unit used to measure the perceived power of light and this ep is most definitely very powerful and certainly can be perceived as such. this is where the line between something as intangible as light is crossed and becomes tangible as one would feel an intense and warming heat which goes so far as to manifest itself as something with mass. title track >lumen< is the focused, convex lens, knife edge point of light which focuses a small portion of the suns energy so densely it could initiate many a blaze. >masse< is as dense as the most solid of gems and radiates dark light like heavy water and is sure to corrupt any geiger counter within its radioactive reach while >flor< stacks itself as high and wide as it can go, building further and further upon itself, and just as one would think it could build no further, it rotates itself back to within and further densifies, an inescapable sort of density of which one is eternally locked pleasurably within. >flucht< raises one into the blackest skies of night and flies hour after hour through blood orange clouds filled with the atmospherically scattered light from what was temporarily civilization below but is now just a memory shaded in the delight of being closed within the phosphorescence of late night fog.

this is quenums first release on clapper!
a side: cargo
this track is techno with a touch of old school, but decidedly modern, not nostalgic. it s built on a groovy techno rhythm that quenum knows to do so well, with a recurring agitative sound that takes you one level higher. the earthy music, rooted by the feet in the ground, grabs the hips.
b side: ouidah
welcome to west africa and the port city of ouidah, home of the quenum clan. this track is classic quenum, clear-headed techno influenced by african rhythm, hypnotic percussions and inimitable touches that add warmth to the sober mix. this one is for the head, but without letting go of the hips.
dachshund and quenum will alternate their work on each release, so look out for the upcoming clapper 003 by dachshund. in the meantime, check out this track and enjoy the show!

by rene breitbarths >atmotrax ep<, the second vinyl release is carried out on his own imprint deep data. the first floor filler >peace< grooves skillfully with catchy vocals on a dry beat till its soulful conclusion towards the end with charm and pressure. total relaxation is achieved by >loop<, however without forgetting the obligatory groovyness - a good opener or as well appropriate while making love. simply beautiful. this releases vinyl bonus track is provided by falko brocksiepers remix of renes track >dynamo<. the man hereby delivers the peak time hit of this ep – straight forward minimal house. >airy< puts the finishing touch to this ep. last but not least this piece comes with a cracking portion of soul and shines with its arrangement and linearity. yet again without loosing focus to the dancefloor. all in all a sure thing which keeps deep data slipping into the record cases.

without any doubt ps. you rock was a big player at the beginning of 2009. we proudly follow up now with the second ep of leipzig based artist marc depulse .my other face contains beside the 2 original tracks an amazing remix by koen groeneveld. keep on rockin!

morgan geist (metro area) rmx - i need love featuring ron basejam is without a doubt one of the biggest tracks on the new cosmic balearic beats vol. 2 compilation!

the second record >trapez 100 pt2< features a great dynamic track by dominik eulberg, and two remixes, one by break 3000 of oliver hackes legendary trapez track >der vampir von düsseldorf< and the other by the famous berlin duo format:b of florian meindls hit track >blast<. welcome back to the trapez world. dominik eulberg released stunning records on trapez in the past: >gasthof zum satten bass< was a huge hit and also >adler< createda waves of enthusiasm. with his exclusive track >ambivalent< for the trapez 100 release he refers to the days when techno was defined through its drive and enormous dynamic. >ambivalent< is exactly such a pounding driving track with a big synth joining in that creates joy and a great rush. mr eulberg was in a really good mood when he finished this track and we expect it to be played on many big raves. >der vampir von düsseldorf< (eng. the vampire from duesseldorf) is a legendary track, we released without any writing on the etiquette and just communicated by word. very few people knew that oliver hacke produced it and a lot of people like michael mayer and richi hawtin played the limited 12 inch a lot. now you get a very cool and fantastic, monumental, grinding remix by dirt crew records label owner break 3000. the format:b remix of florian meindls slammer >blast< is a winner. they manage to walk the fine line between techno and minimal by using sounds from mystery movies and funky beat patters, as well as slow down beats which create funky breaks and interludes that provide the original with a more trippy and rhythmic side.

eijajei - aye ya yay! this is a hit record! but what else would you expect when two of berlins hottest dj and producers, guido schneider and jens bond, are working together!? following the duos major success on pokerflat in 2004, we have managed to get the two of them back together for this exclusive release on highgrade. the results are well worth it. >getting sleepy< pulls us comfortably into the musical world of jens bond and guido schneider. without being obvious, and certainly not lazy, the track reclines into a laid back groove that hooks straight into the rhythm, creating a perfect atmosphere for the psychedelic vocals and hypnotic groove. you wont be able to escape the mood, making this the perfect techno weapon for the late night hours. we like! >eijeijei< is the highlight of the record: warm drums, siren like vocals, the whole thing seems to come from a long way away with incredibly smooth beats which make this track so special. maybe this is the sound of a table dance bar in the jungle? its incredibly sexy in any case

svetecs first solo release on the cannibal society! and what a burner! uncompromising hard techno with big beats, solid arrangement and basslines to die for. solid punishment of the mind with some chemical warfare aimed straight at the dancefloor. so take cover and hide, cause the cannibals are coming to hunt you down and theyre freaking hungry!

a fresh new collaboration with some top notch house tracks on this split release. agnes probably needs no introduction after his recent release on plak and running his own sthmllaudio, and he delivers all quality. big revelation on this 12 is jonny white with his tikkun olam... already a office favorite here at clone... we keep playing this over and over... somehow reminds of old deeper house tracks by mr fingers (athmosphere and basslines) but with modern productions skills. killer track and killer split release with some forward thinking house music thats embracing the future, without forgetting the past! recommended!

>faith< is a breathtaking longplayer that is produced from the early points in my life where house music at the time between 1994-1998 was more open and free without styles clashing and everyones sound was being admired. the productions and concepts for this projects was created by...

many deeply-rooted house influences from blaze to larry heard
to early 1990 strictly rhythm housegrooves witth strong influences of jazz
to intelligent new jakbeat tracks with less noise clatter and more
soft-cushioned toned multi-melodies and vocals.
faith is a creation from all of my life experiences
also everyone s life in general.
the world we live in..
the struggles
death
life
parenthood
finance to survive
sharing
friendship/relationship
this is the story which unfolds thru emotional emancipation manifestion....
then the alternative thoughts....

beautiful
melodically high

be prepared for one of the techno-highlights of the year by those two outstanding producers. virgil enzinger is a true pioneer of the electronic music and is releasing his tracks since many years on the most respected labels such as chris liebings clr, kombination research, enable, killaz, impact mechanics and many others.his partner xavier morel is working in the music-business since the early nineties, released various mix-cds and produced tracks with artists such as juno reactor, prime suspect, eat static... just to name a few. he played all around europe, asia, australia, usa and south america and has been running his own very successful label rasputin records with releases by johannes heil, dj hell, thomas p. heckmann, tony rohr, pascal feos and others.now they joined forces and deliver this massive mind-blowing masterpiece in form of a double-cd-album! this double 12inch-vinyl will contain 4 album-tracks called >particules<, >moon shadow<, >central< and >wolverine<, all stomping techno-killers with a maximum of drive and the top-notch production-skills of virgil enzinger. crystal clear soundscapes meet obscure rolling beats without making any compromises. the album definitely will be a milestone in modern tech-music and for sure won t leave the record-cases of djs around the world during the next months! >fiction< is absolutely recommended for all friends of serious electronic music!

ltd edition white vinyl in shrinkwrapped sleeve !!! big with: nick curly, martin landsky, agnes, lauhaus, gorge, moodymanc, markus fix, kabale und liebe, einzelkind, meat, motorcitysoul, milton jackson, brothers vibe, x-press 2, ekkohaus, kreon, brendon moeller, alex flitsch, willie graff,.. the tsuba colours series continues with the debut tsuba release from londoners ethyl & huxley with the >white ep<. like all tsuba colours releases each 12 inch is on coloured vinyl (this time white), shrinkwrapped and strictly limited to 500 copies. for relative newcomers with just one release on cecille to date, ethyl & huxley have a depth to their sound way beyond their years. a side >haiku da niente< is like all good deep house used to be – soulful, musical and gently hypnotic without a cliched key in sight. >mother tongue< has the vibe of an old skool masters at work track and the ep closes with the more up tempo >carte blanche<.

the eagerly anticipated fourth release on the well received beard science edits label! without a doubt our favourite release from them so far, ranging as it does from blissful balearic bubblers to top secret classic vocal cuts and hypnotic electronic disco. four killer and far less obvious tracks from various scissor wielding producers, head and shoulders (ahem !) above the competition.

another superbly curated selection of rare and undiscovered gems from the world of afro disco as author of the hugely popular american athlete blog, mr les stache has become an invaluable resource for all eager disciples of the good groove, shining a light on the often forgotten tracks from an overpopulated genre. as a true afficionado, these edits and amends are done with plenty of reverence for the originals, without ever losing site of their need to work the floor aside form including a majestic rework of arguably the best afro disco track ever made kabbalas ashewo ara (retitled kabbooga loo here) we get two more deadly jams concocted from drums lalabye and john ozilas funky boogie as with the first two volumes, these are ludicrously limited (300 copies) so get busy!!

remerge started in early 2007 and quietly set the precedent for the current old skool influenced recordings. initially, the concept was to re-interpret old rave records and rebuild the samples into modern day hardcore classics. over the last two years, the series has slowly come to it s logical conclusion with two original recordings, which retain the essence of æ92, but remain relevant to the sound of 09. amenyall is produced by dj wasp, a pseudonym for one of the most revered and consistent producers of electronic music over the last 16 years. expect the usual formula to be broken, crushed and recompiled into something truly unique. >wasp< described it as >the track i wanted to make 15 years ago< and we are really proud to be able to release it. >terror overdrive< by agt rave cru is on the flipside and is without question, one of the toughest, most manic records you re likely to hear all year. wild stabs, full juno hoover workouts, ruff breaks and one of the greatest intros to a track ever, this really is the real deal.

a new member to the 4lux family the talented alex agore! his productions are drenched with pumping beats, catchy riffs and funky deep grooves. to give some quick references we could say that alexs 1st twelve for 4lux is reminiscent of some of moodymann and theo parrish tunes fused with some dj sneaks uplifting spirits. 4 tracks with the syncopated collage of quiet jingling, subtle handclaps, keyboard melodies, and soul-drenched vocal samples and phat phat basslines! this will sell out even faster then the previous kez ym release on 4lux. you missed that one? don t sleep on this! essential house record.

played by: ricardo villalobos, sis, nick curly, anthony collins, chris tietjen, robert dietz, markus fix and many more !!! a resident of the respected mono club night, felix neumann is one of those producers that live music on a 24/7 basis and his productions just keep on coming and growing. we are very happy to have this talented 21 year old in our artist family. the title track put it back is a fresh sound affair and a guaranteed club banger, as tested by most of the mitu family djs. the pumping groove will keep the crowd on its toes and the pinching vocals will have them asking for more. rough is a track that could almost be described by its title alone. it is a steady and solid track that showcases felix s versatile approach to music. that versatility extends to the first b side track. acento is an elegant musical exercise where house, percussion and jazz harmoniously fuse into a track with a strong dance appeal. the last track on this release brings out a heavy-deep-bass vibe. chemal will make your head nod and your body get loose, without you knowing how it all happened.

in spring of 2006, jackpot began to fester in a stockholm apartment. without fresh air or natural light, the group developed its uniquely mutant strain of italo disco mixed with early 80s body music aided only by the sickly blue rays of late night tv. while the jackhammer rhythms of their music were proliferating in stockholm, jackpot dove into the deepest recesses of the electronic dance music psyche for the most primal of all rhythmic impulses - their own unmistakable sound - the sound of western culture falling apart in a blaze of shudders and hiccups. as late night sci fi reruns colored the room, jackpot also picked and chose amongst the psychotic debris of previous eras - the movies of kenneth anger, the music of suicide, velvet underground and bruce haack, the words of william s burroughs. and then they added the junkiest element of all - themselves. after two critically acclaimed records, the third chapter of the jackpot saga is about to be told. its called greased lightning (also features remix work from such talents as in flagranti and rory phillips). you hear that beat? thats them knocking on your door.
