okains dj career kicked off back in 1999, when at the tender age of 15 he began spinning regularly at parties. influenced by french legend laurent garnier, it wasnt long before he was offered his first residency. since then, he has gone on to play at the hottest of paris nightspots, including the rex club and social club. through playing at the now famous dimuschi parties he teamed up with paul ritch. after some time studying in sound engineering, the pair released their first ep under their handycraft alias on kickboxer. since the success of that >le bal masque< ep, okain has gone on to release on labels including robotronic, bpitch control, four twenty, tsuba, quartz and of course jetaime, and has been fully blooded in the art of touring. gigs have flooded in, and his travels have seen play many of europe s finest nightspots. his >blackrock< ep on quartz earlier this year found fantastic success with so many of you, and today our good friend is back, with the awesome >acrobat<.
the original sees okain take the warm, techy path. a lo-slung groove leads us into the melodic strings. matched with sharp efx, strong beats and a demonic laugh, this is a sure fire winner. first on remix duty is label head alex dee. toughening proceedings, alex creates a driving, somewhat tribal work out. relentless beats work brilliantly with the now chopped vocal, to create dramatic tension that builds to a crescendo in the break. a fantastic mix. a great package already, and one that just got even better with the edition of daniel mehlharts incredible rework. the frankfurt producer is hot property right now, and this mix showcases perfectly just why. deep, warm and moody, with huge helpings of classic detroit touches, the originals strings are accompanied by weighty synth stabs, to stunning effect. essential.

flint kids are london based electronic music duo dave smith & daniel nolan. they began writing together in 2000 on an akai mpc 2000, s600, korg trinity and 303. years later, after having brought laptops, logic, ableton and other electronic goodies, it became clear that the sounds they were hearing in their heads were possible to recreate. their passion for so many different styles of music saved them from ever being pigeonholed, glitches & bleeps fuse with organic matter fired from a techno blunderbuss to create a pool of binary sputum that finds no home in any one genre. what may begin as a well earned candlelit soak in the tub of ambiance can quickly drain away as they pull the plug, leaving the listener cascading down a dank, jagged hole with only a rung less ladder made of plasticine.... not for the faint hearted!

fourth release from do easy records comes up with an outstanding deep and groovy anthem delivered by no one less than producing genius daso from cologne. >im over u< catches listeners and dancers immediately with its remarkable piano hookline and a perfect timed groove. the funky vocals push this track to a real house bomb and will set each club and outdoor floor on fire ! again, daso at its best ! on the flip you find a percussive remix by romanian sound wizard ali nasser. ali well know for his very own house style gives the original a more oldschool and rough touch that is pushed by nice funky bass. for sure one of his exceptional remixes. we love it and we hope you too !

as the title of their new full length recording suggests, green concorde is moving, and moving fast. the direction is one and one only: out!
be it from the dark star palm trees of miami, from the silvercoated buildings in the city of glass or from the claustrophobic humidity of their now abandoned rehearsal room in copenhagen, this outfit is running for safety. out where the stars look like arrows on fire. as they move, green concorde stays true to their pulsating post-punk brand, though some of the sounds characteristic noise has been distilled and filtered, leaving a more soft and atmospheric expression than the one characterizing their previous album, ten cities. and unlike ten cities, this album is not a result of hours spent in a cold rehearsal room in a humid basement. instead the nine songs were written under intimate and private forms, partly in the bandmembers own appartments in copenhagen, partly in a small cottage in the dark outskirts of denmark. the run has begun. are you ready to follow green concorde down the corridor, to the exit, through the gates, out into safety?

played by brothers vibe , gerd janson (running back)... introducing two brand new lindstrom tracks: the magnificent and disturbing the perfect symmetry the leftover ep came about when prins thomas, todd terje and smalltown supersound were let into the lindstrom vaults so to speak. lindstrom makes a lot of music obviously (he has one album out this year already with prins thomas and another one with christabelle coming in october), and these were two tracks just laying around that he hadnt thought about releasing. when both prins thomas, todd terje and his label insisted that the tracks had to be released, he decided it was maybe a good idea to make another 12inch since it had actually been a while since the last one. and we are all happy by that. these are some of his finest moments. his signature melodies and sound are all here ready set dancefloors on fire. hope you like them as much as we do. enjoy!

after the well received dvk remixes subsitenz thought its only fitting to pair up one of dnbs hardest and bulgarias biggest export cooh with the two south london stow aways dvk. there fruits of their labor as you would expect is fooking insane. off the leash is not for the faint hearted or pregnant a relentless driver of a track with beats that mutate and evolve constantly over subs fatter than dawn frenchs ass. with the signature dvk rolling percs and pumping side chained filth matched with coohs lethal arrangements and movement of beats off the leash is one pissed pit bull in a poodle parlor. once bitten twice shy is a techy affair still relentless to the core with all the twist and turns that are synonymous to the likes of cooh and dvk. filthy stabs and hits are thrown manically around like a poltergeist having an epileptic fit in a china shop adding chaos to the already frantic bass and grooves. the main heart to his puppy is banged home half way through of its unnatural life were it warps from chilled pads to a nodders delight. dvk and cooh have started the fire and will be back to fuel it very soon!

united by a simple question as what is electro?, the two young english producers of joe and will ask? have spent the last two years creating dirty, cutting edge productions and taking over the london club scene. with an eye firmly on the dance floor, but also with effortless musicality not normally associated with techno, theyve won over fans from the band / indie scene, as well as diehard clubbers. they inject tonality and musical flow into everything they touch, all under the banner of techno or electro or whatever you would like to call it, and have been compared to justice, soulwax, dim and popof. after several eps, acclaimed by the likes of brodinski kris menace, vicarious bliss, casper c and autokratz to name a few, here comes their first release on kitsuné. claymore, delivers a tensed and breathtaking swoop with obsessive rhythms, while take me away with its strong rock energy and vocal hook, will set all the dancefloors on fire

dj dealer & lisa millett are on fire!!! the third single from dj dealers highly acclaimed album joyride is a gospel tinged vocal featuring londons finest, lisa millett. the pair loved this project so much that they recorded two separate lead vocals for the song. the main mix and the tribute mix are the fruits of these labors. nycs jon cutler delivers some outstanding peak hour remixes, and up and coming producer/remixer, uncle milty, drops some serious heat. uncle milty is a resident at chicagos legendary night boom boom room - this party has been going strong for over 17 years and now milty is flexing his mighty studio muscles. this is just the first of many outstanding things you will be hearing from uncle milty!

electric arguments is the first fireman album in 10 years, and this song based album couldnt be more different than its predecessors. for those who dont know by now, the fireman is a collaborative project between music icon paul mccartney and revered producer youth. the pair first worked together in the 90s when they made two ambient dance albums. originally the firemans identity was anonymous and was eventually revealed by the press as being paul and youth. in september it was announced that the fireman would this year release their first brand new material in a decade and this time there was a big difference - the duo had found their voice. speculation began, one studio insider was reported as saying the new songs sounds like arcade fire meets led zeppelin. certainly so far, anyone who has already heard the album has commented on just how accessible electric arguments is, compared to the first two fireman albums. this album is an eclectic and diverse collection of songs that show paul is still interested in pure musical possibilities. each track was written and recorded in the space of one day. the fireman went into the studio with no plan or clear direction of how they wanted the album to sound. the project took a life of its own and the results will surprise anyone expecting to hear the previous sound of the band.
