this three track ep starts with the title track >walking alone<. showcasing mike’s attention to the deepest details, this track begins with warm, fuzzy chord sequences onto which a multi-layered framework of tones and textures are laid. crisp beats mesh with hypnotic bass pulsations, inviting the listener to lose himself in the sound. proper deepness here - for those who seek the essential elements and nothing more, rhythm, melody, bass line, emotion.. expertly produced, >passing tunnels< goes further below the surface as icy chords meet electrified analog stabs, enveloped in cavernous reverbs and shimmering delays. this is a dark, simmering groove for those who know the rare and precious value of a deep, unpretentious tune that can move you from the inside out. take time and listen - there’s no denying the vibrations here. and finally, rounding off the ep is label boss patrice scott’s rework of >walking alone<. properly titled the >atmospheric remix<, p. scott takes the track to another level. while keeping the basic elements of the original, p. scott adds spacey, vibrant melodies to extenuate his version taking you on a journey to a distant planet while on the dance floor.

again the tracks were selected carefully, each of them strong on personality and waiting to burst out and put the willies up anyone who believes that techno can be pigeonholed. cue bjorn svin (of mand over board fame) and a brooding monster of a tune that briefly saw a release on his excellent 1999 lp benene pa nakken and was included on the la monde (aka len fakis) at the wheels of steel mix cd the following year. believe that this track is a killer one of those inspired pieces of techno that sticks in your head for days after hearing it for the first time next up label boss jerome hill lets his bass out in the comedic rel und pol, a dancefloor workout with a syncopated speech running throughout. flip over for rob stow and im going to kill her put simply this is nasty (in a nice way) a riff that tears you a new one and edits and tricks galore, this ones gonna give the speakers a battering! last but certainly not least, switzerlands ki yota from mercurochrome and mental industries steps up to deliver us an apocalyptic anthem with wowwow bass, that swiss percussion and lead riffs all snaking around, finally building to a satisfying climax over and out

already in the box of ripperton, loco dice, james what, solumun, someone else, pheek, mark august.. with >the games e.p.< daniela stickroth finally delivers a fantastic follow up to >stories from the attic< ... the approach found on the attic, gets its logical continuation on the games ep, which leads us from up under the roof straight down into the brush of a mysterious forest, with moonlit clearings, trails and sweeping turns

one sided killer application!! some tracks are so weird, that they can neither be fit into a regular release schedule, nor an appropriate b-side be found. for these black sheep we have decided to create a small niche on connaisseur supérieur. the cnss black edition will sporadically present tracks that are way out of our usual categories… with >numb<, daso finally opens his >panteras< box and again proves his ability to rock reeeally hard. the track actually consists of two seperate tracks whose combination has proven itself during several of dasos live performances. it is the transition between the two tracks that makes the crowd go mad. the clonky intro (already published on ware records as mud max - zampone (maderfotor rmx)) morphs into a giant breakdown with perhaps familiar sounding spoken words before it suddenly reincarnates as a ravey monster from hell! numb shouldnt be taken too seriously and is definitely not for all occasions, but dropped at the right moment, this atom-bomb will cause serve damage on dance- floor-gro

for our eleventh release we have no other than esperanza s own jorge savoretti. after making some collabs for the label, he s finally delivering his expected solo ep. for this one, he mixed a wide variety of soundscapes and influences with precise coherence developing his trademark forward thinking sound even further. there are lots of words used to describe tracks but for this baby is really hard to find ones ccurate enough, maybe some hints would be, futuristic, intricate, martian, tribal

customer services embraces a variety of styles. the title track is pure chunky tech funk, kindling provides us with some dry melodic crispy microhouse. pheek throws in a beautiful extra phat techy remix of custoner services and finally mining for opal explores leifs deep dubby style, in a similar vein to his previous outgoings on textone and archipel

full support by angel molina, dub kult, mathias schaffhäuser, jeff bennet, xpansul, oscar, remute. after releases on the own label, now the first excursion to the well-observed european realms follows on karloff rekordings. analog beats, bleeps and white noise - in sunny california these popular ingredients of minimal techno get brewed together with surprising facility, to a fresh, jacking a-side track with a sturdily nodding groove. on top of that, >azizam< doesn’t lack a clearly distinguished climax - for the good of the dancefloor! on the b-side >off my mind< first appears organicly floating within a warm and fuzzy scent of detroit, before >backwards on pony< finally unwraps classic sawtooth sequencer techno, however properly purged und worked up percussively, to a seething cauldron that you simply have to like!

the eagerly awaited new single from camdens finest captain black is finally here. arriving on hot new label bumpman (the hawley arms pub s label off-shoot), home also to fellow north london outfit the brute chorus, >>sister<< is sure to further cement captain blacks reputation at the front of londons burgeoning indie-folk scene. live sessions on life fm and a number 1 indie single in japan seems to indicate that britain might not be able to keep them secret for much longer.

last summer, the berlin-based producer and well-known remixer chris zippel (who already worked with the pet shop boys, robbie williams or ich & ich) already celebrated his very personal interpretation of modern and complex ambient between zwischen triphop beats and melancholic pop references by his genuine horizon album. with this ep, chillout producer zippel has chosen a way quite unusual for him by taking four tracks of the album, making them compatible for the dancefloor with a number of co-producers and proving that dub is still up-to-date in 2008. the ep starts with an interpretaton of electronic spain recordings producer mangelt: again, a straightforward energy flash between reminiscence and modern club sound, takes on the powerful post acid minimalhouse sound a la steve bug. the dane mike salta turns mirror dawn into deep techhouse dub, and also the schwerin-based downtempo producer andre muelle alias vakuum sounds shows that he is influenced by a timelessly valid unterstanding of dub and fragmented s mples by his version of glacier. finally, the tribal progressive house dub of blade remixed by kling klong impresario namito (berlin), undoubtedly the most famous remixer on this ep, goes right into your hips

supported by raresh, gregor tresher, meat , dorian paic, reboot, pascal feos, matt star, domenic d agnelli, marc miroir. fresh fried finally come up with their debut album the menue. the young project consisting of the producers chris wood, nedzad berovic and frank leicher already took the dj playlists of named tech house djs by storm – not only in germany and central europe-wide, but also in the states, russia and even japan.

the album title track >my manifest< shows, that marco stays true to his love for house chords. old school riffs meet energy loaded beats and his dark self-spoken manifest and reveal a new, more technoid face of marc o tool. >the grail< however shows, that he also still knows how to embed harmonies in a club outfit. driving rhythms reminding of the old o tool days, get alternated by an emotional piano breakdown, to finally find their way back into the floating monotony

finally-the follow up from the freakside !! minimalistic experimental & exploding acid house trax
