straight up no nonsense toys for your box. enjoy!

minor love features 14 brand new tracks from americas number 1 greatest singer!. minor love found green enlisting the talents of rodrigo from little joy and other hanger ons, like his brother joel (and look a likes joe steinbrick and greg from megapuss). the album showcases a tender side of the often arrogant and emotionally unavailable bully / singer, green. in a total state of isolation, green attempted to play nearly all the instruments on the record, due to incurable social phobias which plagued him. apparently the inspiration for this album lies in greens fatalism - you might want to take that with a pinch of salt though!

supported by dj sasha, rodriguez jr, chloe, sian, piemont, ivan smagghe!! the duo from cologne-dusseldorf is back with a monster track! >raedereichen< is a track that you cannot estimate before you have heard it loud. talking about minimalism and the lost magic of this genre this is a monster which creates its own genre of new techno-rave

mit africano piano schliessen cosmic cowboys an den erfolg ihrer letzten veröffentlichung auf dem hamburger label musik gewinnt freunde an. die ep kommt im januar 2010 in die läden und erneut zeigen uns die beiden jungs aus venedig, wie schön techno mit einer note dub klingt. die a seite öffnet mit einem deepen track, der sich zu einem intensiven peak hochschraubt, und durch ein episches vocal besticht. auf der b seite befindet sich mit >say that you will stay< ein ruhigeres, aber nicht minder schönes stück. liebesverlockungen gleich spielen sich diese tracks mit harmonischen piano klängen und sanften streichern in unsere herzen. eine großartige ep für lange wintertage.

>fall into me< finally marks the release of the last and keenly awaited single from jay haze aka fuckponys masterpiece >let the love flow<. the album title says it all - >fall into me< sounds incredibly light, yet catchy and full of energy - a free fall onto the worlds softest pillow. this is how house must sound to lovers. house with soul can be taken literally in this case, as jay has called upon the expert support of laila tov and chela simone. the latterenjoys an international standing and has already lent her sublime, very unique voice to kikis hit single >good voodoo<. here she combines inextricably with jays compact sound aesthetic and makes >fall into me< positively shine.with its atmospheric intro and broad musical range, the original on the a-side sees a welcome reappearance of certain must-have features which will have the hairs on your neck standing up... the accompanying video was shotby emmy nominee daniel michael gahr with chela simone and laila tov in the woods of san francisco.
marco passarani has done the honours on the flip side. a workaholic from the eternal city of rome, marco is the linchpin of the italian techno scene. he produces under the aliases js pool, monomorph and ambit 3 for the labels skam, hymen, clone and peacefrog, and also runs his own labels plasmek, pigna and nature records marcos >fall into me< remix is unmistakably influenced by hiscarefully nurtured detroit roots. however, he employs these stylistic elements very discreetly, retains beats, melody and vocals in his arrangement, takes out a little of the decorative padding from the album, then finally hits us with a wonderful, trancey eight-tone sequence to send us into the realm of dancefloor dreams for ever.

excellent dubby deep house ...

the waiting is finally over! after all the ups and downs of the past year, we can happily report that joshua eustis now firmly intends to continue telefon tel aviv as a solo project. in order to mark his decision with a bang, thewonderful title track >immolate yourself< is being released as the second single from the current lp. the song has been entrusted to highly acclaimed and diverse remix artists who have skilfully stripped down the epic album track to more club-friendly formats.
the a side is delivered by label-mate thomas muller, whose finely detailed techno soundscapes can now be enjoyed on five bpc 12 inch releases. his >immolate< remix takes a much more direct approach. he reduces the lush arrangement of the original to a powerful basic framework, leaves out the vocals almost entirely, and creates a surprise when the track crumbles into sonic chaos towards the end.
miss fitz aka maayan nidam has had singles released on labels including raum musik and freak n chic, and these have been remixed by renowned artists such as ricardo villalobos. her version of >immolate< also makes a clear break from the album track and serves up her very own brand of abstract, dancefloor-friendly house. once again, all the opulence of the original is thrown overboard, a dry beat is placed at the centre of the arrangement and enriched with sinuous vocals.
ben klock needs no further introduction - he is the epitome of the bleak, hard minimal sound. his album >one< is currently available on ostgut ton, and as a remixer he has earned the highest acclaim for his version of depeche modes >peace<. bens >jack mix< is fittingly titled and lives up to all the expectations of the name. the track is stripped back to a resounding, hammer-like beat framework - minimised for maximum effect.
bpitch legend sascha funke delivers a surprise with another astoundingly reduced remix, at least by his standards. he turns away from the melodic richness of his current album >mango< in favour of repetitive fragments and an extended arc of tension which will surely make his >immolate< remix a massive after-hour hit.

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

bristol-born and london-based producer rekordah takes charge of lo fi funk records second instalment. as well as running the independent label pollen, rekordah also promotes a series of parties of the same name with efa (which have hosted artists of the caliber of mike slott and slugabed among others), and crafts his own brand of cosmic, dismembered hip hop, in that wonky style everyone is raving about.
>cherry coke< on the a side, is full of bubbling sounds that evoke the soda drink your nephew drinks while he plays with that atari you found in the attic, played over a dilla style beat, whilst in the flip side we find >butternut<, in which p-funk synthesisers rise side to side with space age special effects, frantic syncopated drums and 22nd century boom bap.

multi-platinum producer, prolific hit-maker, and sonic innovator timbaland will release his third solo album, entitled timbaland presents shock value ii, on vinyl lp, on december 8th, 2009, on mosley music group/blackground records/interscope records. the album is the follow-up to the super-producers multi-platinum 2007 album timbaland presents shock value, which spawned three no. 1 pop singles, the grammy-nominated >give it to me< (featuring nelly furtado and justin timberlake), >the way i are<, (featuring keri hilson and d.o.e.), and a remix of onerepublics multi-platinum blockbuster >apologize< (one of the best-selling singles of the decade).
on shock value ii, timbaland re-maps the pop/r&b landscape by batting away genre boundaries once again. his prodigious influence and ability to stay ahead of the curve have meant that a wide range of todays most popular artists are eager to participate in the shock value series. this second iteration features guest appearances from justin timberlake, katy perry, miley cyrus, the fray, chris daughtry, nickelbacks chad kroeger, brandy, drake, and keri hilson. in addition, timbaland asserts the wide-screen sonic adventurousness that has led the virginia beach native to dominate the pop charts for more than a decade.

catalog number 004 on four roses recordings is yet another sublime release of the motor city drum ensemble. following the success of his first single for frr, breath control, danilo plessow this time brings us two quite unique tracks: the a side (sunsequence) being a dark, repetitive and haunting piece of post detroit techno which continuously builds layer upon layer, until it finally explodes: the pulsewave drones, jupiter chords and 808 patterns will cause maximum effect on the dancefloor. feel the love on the b side slows things down a little, but keeps the dark mood, adding some of that old school sample flavour to create a trippy afterhour track, that sounds different from anything you ve heard lately. ltd restock

dollar mambo is a fantasizing. his name is taken from the title of paul leducs film. a movie realized in panama where you find no dialogues but only music and dance to narrate the story. like in the seven dollar album, all tracks have an authentic south colour and are built, not like a film but in a way where everyone can easily imagine a sketch. all tunes are about dancing, intensity, surprising and finally a great tribute to musicians. youll find a lot of sampled instruments from massive percussion, trombone, trumpet, voice (soleil) to guitar, gitarone (gringo) and marimba (wonderful)... like a dream this album is born for those who are searching for something different, illuminating and deeply happy

danish synth-rock band turboweekends first release in the uk is an atmospheric yet heartfelt cry of regret on the a-side and a jumpy celebration of the end of work obligations (with an ironic twist) on the b-side, featuring the royal company of bristols finest, joker, and indie prince russell lissack from bloc party.

second release on the bounce by helixir on 7even recordings after his last digital dubby experience >xp dub / peace dub< in june! recognized as one of the most versatile of the new breed of french electronic music producers, the man from strasbourg is back this time with two bass-heavy productions in his own percussive style.
>convultions< is a real dancefloor weapon, the robotic riddim subtly brings a deep sub-bass becoming more and more insistent, the beats never stop evolving along the journey, the breaks hit your senses, pure badness from this ultra precise producer!
>let me drive now< brings you to a beautifully produced track through magical percussion, galactic synths and smoky atmospheres, somewhat akin to 2562s latest directions. a beautiful piece of music, tightly produced by helixir, who shows again his mastery of the studio and modern bass music.
