conya returns with a biggie from our swedish friends mr chi & victor sanchez aka groovenauts feat jay tripwire on vocals. they deliver three raw and deep tunes that will be sure winners on the floor.

big with kevin gorman, heiko laux, richard bartz and laurent garnier,... !! romance is overrated, peters 4th 12 on kanzleramt, is symbolizing the simplicity of having some fun with friends. look up shows how vast the skies can be, leaning towards house at 123 bpm. the flipside is powered up with the energy peter is creating when playing his live-sets, tech on 127 bpm. meanwhile, peters debut album evolver recently was re-released by intergroove along with remixes by johannes heil & zander vt on 12. also the evergreen birth, peters 1st appearance on kanzleramt, has just been used by danny tenaglia on his latest mix-cd on tommy boy

sexplosion, the new ep from lenfant terrible of sophisticated techno, seth troxler-here recording under his debauched alter ego sex trothler-is a complex, multifaceted, and yet decidedly horny affair. these are the sounds of doing unspeakable and anonymous things to girls in dark backrooms and being too confident to regret it the next day…the sounds of your favorite sexual memory transformed by your overactive fantasy life into scenes of utter perversion. the first track, jusyour, combines troxlers signature use of the classic, organic sounds of detroit house and techno with an avant-garde, fragmented, almost mournful sensibility. its a contemporary jack track as appropriate for a dark, seedy club as it is for an afterparty orgy on your friends broken futon. its almost as if music could yearn and sweat and think all at once. its followed by a brief vocal internude to remind you that being a good lover always means having enough of a sense of humor to laugh at other people laughing at yourself. think tinkertoys meets the wu-tang clans black shampoo. humor aside, the final track, face, utilizes airy percussion and deep, almost cinematic chords (reminiscent of troxlers remix for another precious youth, nicolaas jar on new yorks wolf+lamb label). its masterful and restrained use of processed vocals manages to leave behind so much of the pointless darkness that has plagued techno, whether minimal or otherwise. it builds slowly yet aggressively, like a hard, focused grind with someone you cant actually even really stand. this is music for people whose time at art school was spent getting naked and not hating themselves for it.

new and exciting label from our friends north of the border, aimed squarely at the dancefloor autodiscotheque kick off their demonstration only series of cut up dancefloor grooves with two killer edits from richard sen (padded cell/bronx dogs) and legendary grafitti artist cazbee. first up is a fresh rework of the bass driven disco glitch of kat mandus i wanna dance reconstructed here as cat dance. on the flip, the chunky disco funk of dennis deans i feel it is transformed into the irresistible proto house groove of lifetie. cut and pasted for the elegantly wasted, this is sophisticated and decidedly filthy 21st century club music !

big with 2000 and one, marco carola, adam beyer, bart skills, matthias kaden, karotte, djulz, sebo k !! on chaptals debutalbum >tokens< he again teams up with some of his friends, like daniel >mumbling< sanchez and carlos >screaming< valdes

with his new night called based on misunderstandings that he hosts in berlins famous club week end, alex barck delivers his personal vision of club music and invites friends that share the same djing philosophy. following the success of the club night, alex further developed his concept and decided to create a special 12inch series on sonar kollektiv. also named based on misunderstandings, this new collection should be regarded as a return to roots for every house dj. it is dedicated to hot club sound that takes you by surprise, gets you dancing without you even noticing it and that really needs to be played out loud now!

oftentimes the tracks which please you the most are the ones that capture the magic moment of the performance itself. demetrio giannice presents three such captured moments on er-001. two of the tracks feature friends of him who contribute their voice for the vocal parts. in addition a remix was produced by stefano m. and appears as a2 on this release

the 25 year-old montreal native became a dmc world champion in 1997 and has toured with the likes of q-bert and craze until he was hand-picked by kanye west to be his tour dj. a-trak might have been on the scene for 10 years already but somehow it feels like he s only just getting started. kitsune releases now his >say whoa< which features remixes from his friends boys noize and sinden

body to body is a key track from jay tripwires debut album, gemini soul. the remixes start up with deephouse legend, fred everything. next up, our swedish friends groovenauts deliver a percussion lead deep dancefloor burner. the last two tracks get a bit darker as mazi delivers a pair of remixes under his audio soul project guise.

hey friends, this is going to be a great ride today! slick, red, rocking and housy. today in the box with catz n dogz aka 3 channels, grzegorz demiianczuk and wojciech tranaczuk. and up to now, everybody was deeply impressed by their speedy, red, cool vehicle: from claude van stroke, john tejada or wighnomy brothers. or us! they are really hot and can already choose their favourite international racetrack. but here and now comes a very special floor shaker: outstanding when it comes to style, appearance and acceleration. and extremely funky even at lower speed torque. both pilots promise loads of details, tension and elegance - together with their will to win after a long and exciting home stretch. this is motor sport from another star and should be honoured like it. and it will be honoured, no doubt! sway the banner! award ceremony! champagne, and thats it

supported by marc romboy, olivier huntemann, nudisco, mugwump, da fresh, jack de marseille, michael forzza, david guetta, dave clark, claudio coccoluto, martin solveig, ivan smagghe and many more... the story goes like this: fred hush went dj-ing to the russian federation. he was invited by shishkanov evgeniy pavlovich (aka eugene for his friends). being a dance producer as well, he proposed >not gay song< to fred hush... just to test him really. fred hush immediately liked the deep 80s minded 120 bpm melody and influenced by the voice of eugene (with a certain depeche mode feeling), fred was immediately interested to sign this wonderful track to the palm beach label as a true potential dancefloor hit!

after the phenomenal success of their 1st release, division recordings has been established as a label providing new innovative sounds with boundless potential in every genre. now noisia are ready to present the next installment of division: seven stitches is a slice of electric heaven, a veritable fighter pilot performing synth acrobatics & bound to hit your g force! an appropriate follow up to the bending craziness of yellow brick, seven stiches was initially commissioned for wipeout pulse (psp). sony loved it so much they decided to also feature it in the wipeout hd (ps3) game too. a tune diverse enough to satisfy on every level, throw it down amongst friends or up on stage but be sure to make it loud!

another strong techno groover from sergy castle and friends.

classic, must have collectors item!! soundtrack for the homonymous animation movie!!

legendz records is the normal follow up of famous legendz parties which started in belgium three years ago . for their first release, they decided to invite two belgian producers from two different musical horizons and see how it goes . kolombo is famous for his electro house style with releases on king kong, turbo, systematic, karate, his own vice versa or loulou records. sierra sam is more into the minimal world with music on trapez ltd., einmaleins, his own toys for boys and soon contexterrior the two friends decided to mix their skills on three tracks: alive is based on a fat synth line and rolling bleepy percussions, articulated around a vocal sample. extra voices takes another vocal sample , but adds it a more acid synth line and some more percussive drum soundsscreaming lord is a more aggressive track with more noises and fast percussion lines..

uzuri is proud to be releasing this talent s debut ep. >hohol< is the finest example of slow, compressed house and techno variations . it s a deep, sprawling affair that takes in sumptuous chicago reductions and crawling detroit shuffles, hypnotic grooves with enough funk to keep you going - complete with crazy compression and filtering. man of the moment, lerosa, comes up trumps with his rather filthy remix

plays: james holden ... the second release on apparillo music is a production by harald björk. a young and very talented swedish artist, who inspired us last year, with his fantastic - brus / luftlust ep on traum-schallplatten. harald is part of a young and very successful community of musicians to which also his friends petter and nathan fake belong to. on his nanting-dunkelt-ep, he shows us, that there are still undiscovered soundscapes and plenty of tone-resources available... so eat fresh!

thank you have played with the likes of beach house, dan deacon, daniel higgs, celebration, wzt hearts and ponytail. thank you is an athletic rhythm/action unit, made up of jeffrey mcgrath, michael bouyoucas and elke wardlaw. michael was a member of the baltimore band more dogs who released an album on monitor records. the members of thank you are longtime friends and musical collaborators, working hard to bring to life their wholly original compositions. musical ideas are introduced and have conversations with one another, each track filled with new articulation and insight. the basics of drums, organ, and guitar build the foundation, but are augmented by whistles, cowbell, hobo harmonica, snappy loops, car horns, and whatever else might be at hand. the album terrible two was engineered by j. robbins (yeasayer, mary timony, jets to brazil) in baltimore and was produced and mixed by chris coady (tv on the radio, yeah yeah yeahs, celebration) in new york city.

2x 15mins of ultra hypno house!! big with ricardo villalobos, prins thomas, laurent garnier,… unarguably, the best way to prepare umu is inside a hole in the ground. go find a nice flat land, preferably your mother in laws lawn, gather friends, ask them to bring wine. youll need a well amplified turntable playing mania #11 on a loop. cut the grass using a flat shovel, four or six square pieces of 50 cms, lifting the grass with its roots and some soil, move aside. now you have a clean area of about 1.5 mts square, dig in it to a depth of about 50 cms (come on, it will make you sweat profusely but you need this shallow grave to feel the magik of easter islands umu!).

ultraphat remixesy package, contains four killer remixes by slam (soma rec), audion (matthew dear, spectral, ghostly), radio slave (rekids..) , the field (kompakt).

third album young desire, again captures the fervour witnessed on lapkos live shows. taking in themes of vulnerability and anxiety beneath hardened exteriors, aching feelings, pressure and confusion, the album is a mental trip back to the schoolyard, where tough guy antics and leather armor cant hide the convulsions underneath. theres new depth and dynamic in the bands expression, fitting for a gang of seasoned rock musicians. these two art school dropouts and metal worker have come a long way from harjavalta (though they still gather there to rehearse and play) and have evolved as a band and as friends.

mark e now returns to running back for another ep of original productions. and what a return it is! staying in his lovely kind of irresistible grooves between low slung bass and rattling snares, mark delivers three tracks of pure dance floor bliss. first off, we have slave 1 with its burning slow motion build up and a hookline that will not leave your head for at least a week. the flip of the medal, sees pulse friction giving off a warm synthesizer shower for what seems like an hour. finally, the incredibly bouncy human tightens the thumbscrew and should even make the ruffy and tuffy minded happy. our dear friends dixon from shocking innervisions and gilb r from rocking versatile are already in love with it, so please do not even try to resist. e is for ecstasy!

after the internationally successful album release in september 2007, >oi oi oi remixed< features a fine selection of re-works of boys noizes banging debut album tracks - by his friends and himself

deep, deeper, peter grummich! this man is on a roll right now, and with every new release you have to ask yourself where this is all going to lead to? however with the >garden ep< he now already delivers the perfect soundtrack for weeding the beds and waterblasting the terrace - and for partying hard, of course. >beachtrak< prefers its quintessential sub-harmonics to just playing it safe with an upfront bassdrum, and finally channels its way in a wide arc up to the next level. a hit also for friends of water gardens. on the b-side grummich enlarges his melodic skills with a sweet flowery scent of detroit on the track >garden<, and >its to share<, which evolves into a great anthem with just an assumed number of 3 sounds and a couple of snotty claps

already hammered by chaton, ripperton, lee van dowski… even your grandma ordered it already !!! after a great deep and soulful ep at our friends at resopal, langenberg is gifting us with a stunning two track ep. pressed with full fat and all your nightly needed calories, the two 45 rpms tracks presented here are perfectly representing modern club culture. a true groove, a rare and personal sound crafting and design skills represent very

hercules and love affair is andrew butler with antony, nomi, and kim ann. butler emerged from making music for college based dance projects into a fully fledged recording artist, via the new york art scene. he hooked up with his friends from there and got them to collaborate and sing his songs and hercules and love affair is the result. antony rose to prominence when he won 2005s nationwide mercury music prize and this is a major step into a new area... a disco influenced mix of glamour and melancholy, happiness and clubbing that has sprung out of the mutual worlds of andrew and antony, kim ann and nomi. hercules and love affair is 2008s most exciting dancefloor concoction, an arthouse vision of pure pop by way of futuristic electronica, 4ad records and classic 70s new york disco, where beautiful, bruising harmonies and tensile rhythms collide in resurgent soundscapes and emotive disco workouts. the album is co produced by andrew butler with tim goldsworthy of dfa.

combining all of his trademarks both demi god and i own you are pure roughcut road tools which have been extensively tried and tested across the globe by l double and friends!!

by now dazzle drums and nite grooves are old friends. this being their 5th release on the label, the beat goes on and carries us with it. gypsyman turns out an organic bent out of shape (we didnt say warped!), percussive, almost dubby, instrumental delight. this is one of the definite moods one would hear at say, the shelter. its got that kind of clubby rhythmic organic vibe. call it what you will, we call it hot. tokyo deep that follows is a more upbeat instrumental full of synth moog sounds and overflowing washes. very car chase or early 80s stalk you cinema, catch the drama while you can!

lars wickingers the clown is a great track from a great producer.....with releases on labels such as traum schallplatten and liebe he managed to stand out from the masses and present his own amazing style! 2.nicolas stefans hide this feeling a track that will for sure move the dancefloor. after his last releases on karatemusik and my best friends his is now putting all his effort on his latest release on rhythmetic records. 3. kidlans dopamine a surprise track on this ep from 3 producers that experiment and influence with their style. just listen to it and if you think that people can handle it spin this track on your record players. 4. theodoris triantafillous suspicious behavior deep down and groovy... a vocal track from a great greek producer with still lots to show in the upcoming years. full supported by : jaumetic, monoroom, dave dk, leon segka, mark henning, rob melo, gerome sportelli...

excellent trippin techno track !! after mihalis presented himself as the next big thing he now brings his friends in the spotlights also. and not without a reason! these guys created a killer of a trackespecially for syndikaat. perfectly balanced beats with loads of sublayers and nice synths. mihalis himself liked the track so much that he decided to not only remix this once, but to remix this twice!! the result is amazing, simply 3 huge tracks on 1 12inch.

cazals release their first full single life is boring from their brilliant upcoming album what of our future. you may have seen and heard this bruising and frenetic track on the recent sony ericsson walkman campaign, which featured the video directed by bryan barber of outkast fame. life is boring features remixes all from friends of the band. one from ali love who was a founding member of cazals, and played bass! another from rory phillips who daniel and phil know only too well after spending practically every monday night with him for the last number of years at trash and finally a remix from crookers who are lucas favourite italian producer mates.

dj support - adam beyer, loco dice. marko nastic, marco bailey plus all the usual suspects not long after his discovery of techno, it was the harder, more precussive tastes of the swedish sound that initially inspired indiana based kyle geiger as a dj for years before the genres overall sound took a slower and softer turn. still loving the energy and power of the earlier phases of techno, while being greatly influenced by long time friends and minimal techno veterans such as jpls and skoozbot

the rebirth of finalfrontier has brought some new friends within the production circle. carola pisaturo is a long time friend from naples, she has been djing around since 1997. her sound is warm and funky but still very technoish. >passione extra< is a perfect example of her skills. to celebrate this first collaboration with the neapolitan artist, marco passarani steps in with a re-work of the track under the moniker >bass-a-rani<, adding his characteristic synchopated techno beats to the original version.

the beginning of year three in the adjunct chronicles is marked by a 12inch by our own apendics.shuffle. kenneth james gibson has been bombarding the techno scene consistently for the past few years. u_derline, orac, friends of tomorrow, mos ferry, sunset diskos among other labels have served as the carrier for kens deadly weapons. remix duties are taken on by the one and only mathias schaffhäuser , a renowned techno superstar and the founder of ware records. there couldnt have been a better title than >no reduction< to literary describe this monster of a track - ken has unleashed the entire arsenal of his studio for the creation. stern synth patterns pizzicato their way through the track, deep sea signals ring in the background, distorted vocal snippets insist on taking >all the money<. energetic and magnetic dancefloor number dedicated to the real freaks. mathias approaches the rework with smooth drumming and a velvet bassline. the cheeky cabaret vibe however never settles: the diabolical pizzicato of the original returns and the voices continue their demands for (what all adds up to in the end) >no reduction<. oblivious filth brings yet another layer to this joint. beautifully crafted sounds mingle with electro-mechanical noises, layers of melting textures lure the listener into a late night wonderland

the last remix single from the >raw< album features some really nice and tasty mixes of boogie down that vary from deep and dark minimal techno to exstatic tech-house. first up are chopstick & johnjon who both are up and coming artist that most of you might know from their label criminal records and the collaborations of chopstick as eyerer and chopstick on great stuff recordings. their mix of boogie down is a real trancey one with a great bassline added to the original feel of the track. second man in line is substatics falko brocksieper who delivers a very powerful minimal techno joint with great effects and pitched down vocals, this is a true dark roller ! also our friends from montreal canada >les bouchers< better known as dj shine and poontz made a cool electro house cut and complete this fine release in style

bigroom house anthem with strong female vocals. includes a kick ass funky remix by pip & pen.

peaktime melodic electro techno madness by david pereira, known from releases on sucre sale, rhythm convert, session, magura and corachi

quagmires third >artist ensemble< ep introduces the first four new artists to the labels roster. this quartet hails from dutch soil, william kouam djoko residenting in amsterdam as mical rhebess, pevanu and tim woestenenk living in the so called >backcorner< of east holland, near the german border. non of these young and talented producers released solo on vinyl before, which gives quagmire the absolute releasing debuts for these close friends of the label. william kouam djokos serialism repetition fills the complete logo side. this loopy bomb sucks you in a whirlpool of wet percussions and snareriffs. transitions are hardly recognizable and changing elements seem to continue. dynamic and delicate techhouse as never seen before on quagmire. tim woestenenks sunset love on the info side sets the elegant mood for this ep. microhouse in its purest form, stripped down to the most functional sounds. a big stab and a broken oriental stringinstrument give this track a incredible sense. timeless club music

long time activist on the french electronic scene, léonard de léonard is back after two critically acclaimed albums, successful collabs (his duo with maxx aka mcuhoh from the goats was a rated as one of 2006 best french live acts) and a departure to berlin. part of the ekler o shock roster (data, danger, terry poison), léo is a talented producer whose influences vary from classic techno and old school hip hop to all the modern forms of digital grooves & ghetto musics. now back with an ep dedicated to the dancefloors, in the form of a tribute to horror cult movies, léo asked his new berlin friends chris de luca (ex. funkstorung) and phon.o (shitkatapult), and paris rising kids donovan to remix his single. the result is here, catchy as a scream, hot as hell!

here we have one of the most anticipated ad ltd release. its a two track ep displaying these two friends solo production skills. on one side we have xpansul throwing down >formula humo< massive dance floor filler with one of those twisted melodic hooks that he has come to be famous for. on the flip, label boss alexi delano presents us with >operations< a deeper but equally as high of a quality track that has been circulating amongst the techno elite for over a year

next d.i.m. killer track !! in 2007 d.i.m.s >airbus< & >sysiphos< on turbo records were one of the biggest tune in 2007. djs from sven vaeth to justice are playing his tracks. this time is strikes back on boysnoize records with his biggest tune so far. french youngstar brodinski delievers a fantastic alternative version of this heavy tune. already supportet by erol alkan, ed banger and friends..

finest minimal tech!! back with a new strong number 02! gs remains true to oneself and unites old friends: laurent bovey (laps, digitaline), gregory poncet (gregorythme, digitaline) and georg bleikolm (knor) spent their wild youth in lausanne. music always pushed them forward and now their ways crossed in zurich again.
