c series goes big for their 5th release and brings some big peak time mayhem!
c5, omen: doesnt really need much on an introduction, the famous track gets funked up, flipped over and goes flat out for a twisting and turning journey through the well known parts of the original and then bangs on from there in true c series style.
c4, lets go blimey!: lets go, it is techno but mashed up with blimey! exquisitely fused together and a perfect package as a peak time floor stomping monster, what more could you ask for, bring it on!

the third release on phonica records is a no-nonsense dancefloor burner from matt tolfrey and d. ramirez, with a stunning remix from lauhaus. >bounce to me< is an exquisitely stripped-back jack track, propelled along by clipped vocal samples, deep chord stabs and funked-up percussion - as the title suggests, its all about the bounce. thats really all you need to know: this piece of music has been built for the sole purpose of dancefloor devastation and will do the job every time. matt tolfrey is the boss of leftroom recordings and one of the uks most compelling young dj/producers, with releases on crosstown rebels and viva music among others. d. ramirez is of course the sheffield-based producer behind numerous hit tracks for labels like four:twenty and his own slave recordings. the flipside remix comes from underground hero lauhaus, a dutch producer whos made quite a name for himself with his muscular productions for labels like remote area and intacto. here he toughens and tightens tolfrey and ramirezs original >bounce to me< into a rolling techno groove, adding real drama and forward thrust with crisp hi-hats and stacatto percussion. the soundtrack to late summer has arrived. bounce!

watch out for this one!

this release has the new single >100 mph< and 3 rad remixes. the original track rocks amped up vocals with a chicago house groove, and the remixes change it up completely. the ac slater remix adds a bit of fidget and steps up the dub, making it awesomely crunchy. ocelot switches it up and stretches the track into a 7 minute journey, adding a bit of a harder edge. finally, free blood takes things in a more digital direction and injects a slightly darker feel to the track. there s something for everyone on this 12 inch and you need to pick it up.

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!!

the techy side of blockhead shows its colours! championed by loco dice, you get the drill...

a temporary sabbatical from gigs was taken and the band wrote material for where were you when it happened in new orleans midtown district, where their rawboned compositions resembled the katrina-pummeled surroundings. with their girlfriends with them in as close to a stableenvironment as they d been in months, they were able to tap a darker, more personal side in songs like as noise, and hunt you down, with its mournful, organ drenched air belying monotonixs typical good time charlie posturing, while fulfilling the albums need for a climactic, balladic moment. where were you when it happened? finds monotonix visiting a greater diversity of places within their sound while still retaining their minimal appeal. mostly though, where were you when it happened works up a sweat with raw rock and roll, acid guitar licks and riffs, screaming choruses and, in general, the wildness of monotonix in a way that makes for repeated album listening (and pummelling). where most bands refine their production sound as they go forward, monotonix have reverse refined themselves, playing dirtier and more energetic to capture the lightning they are known for.

stroboscopic artefacts 1st vinyl release is an incendiary 2 track ep. label founder lucy gives us a visionary blueprint for the future stroboscopic artefacts releases, etching out the soundtrack for an apocalyptic club scenario. out of the a-sides dark, pulsing beats and itchy baselines, a granular voice rises up. krishnamurtis rasping vocal cuts through, creating a colossal techno track. the result is a hybrid of the physical need to dance fusing with the cerebral. amid resonant piano samples and utopian 60s strings, a crystalline question emerges: why dont you change? in the middle of a hazy, overcrowded dance floor this peak-time guerrilla track hints at a moment of epiphany. on the b-side dub man walking, lucys dub-roots background collides with his techno identity. the heavy drum machine structure is injected with obsessive dubby baselines and intersected by high frequency distortion. the track floats, the elements never fully solidify, instead they surge forward becoming ever more urgent. lucy mixed and arranged dub man walking live using his faithful mackie ms 1202 to keep the texture warm in an old skool way

nys underground celebrity, electronic obscurity and rare disco specialist william burnett (aka grackle, aka speculator) delivers an ep that truly defies any categorization and therefore will have a harder time to find its way into the stores usually packed with easily digestible pre-masticated dancefloor stew that comes with filing recommandations. the music on this record evokes images of mad peyote sessions held amidst dry and sandy landscapes. the original desert acid sounds like a jam machines and instruments would do when left on their own, unsupervised by humans. a wobbly and acidey synthline goes on a psychedelic journey with fuzzy guitar riffs, backed by a stompy almost tribal discobeat. düsseldorfs currently most interesting band musiccargo rework the piece into a cinematic krautdisco gem that floats on a loopy vibraphone drone, sprinkled with german and english lyrics. sombrero galaxy (aka cbs/intergalactic fm regular dj tako reyenga and his mysterious uk buddy jonny nash) take the track into cosmic realms (rare occasion where the term really fits) and their version could easily be interpreted as a vangelis tribute. the last track on the ep we are it is a slow 808 jam with druggy and spaced out fuzzy vocals, paired with equally druggy and fuzzy guitars. if you are a filmmaker and you need a song for a weird desert scene youd be an idiot not to consider this one the perfect choice.

soniculture welcomes a new artist to the family. bernard siefert, betterknown as nhar is known for his releases on labels such as mobilee, meerestief, plak and modelisme. his hypnotic sound is unique, adding at the same time fine tuned melodies and vocals, in this way, enriching the whole musical experience. with this release, nhar shows us a bit more energy, keeping the soul and exploring the feelings that characterize his productions, but making us dance even more than usual. this is an amazing piece of work from one of the most original producers of the new french techno scene. the a side begins with >derceto<, a very modern techno track but with an old school touch and an outstanding percussion arrangement. the hypnotic bassline is strong and involving and the vocals make it dirty, when needed. thinkfreak closes this side with a powerful remix, taking the energy to higher levels and making it a dance floor slammer for the craziest moments of the night (or day). with >owls are not what they seem<, nharshows us how hypnotic he can be. the track is filled with sophistication andthe production details are exquisite. this is electronic dance music at itsbest. dalessandro & expander present a version of >owls are not what theyseem< that is sexy and groovy and is for sure perfect for that special afterhour moment or simply when there is a special need for love.

no need to tell anything about this all time classic!! includes classic nyc 12inch mix!

originally released in 2003 on the team swag imprint!!

afu limited welcomes alex long to it s artist catalogue and he starts with two slammin and cool technotracks with ultra trippy vocals! there is not much need to say anything about these tracks, just listen and enjoy the trip through the space age with a fast beating heart! since he was young, he has always been impressed by the sounds of the synths, electro pop and later on acid house. in the beginning of the 90ies, when the slovenian electronic scene was still in the making, he was a regular guest in the legendary k4 and palma in slovenia. he was taken further into the world in 1998 when he took his first steps behind the turntables and he has been producing music since 2004. since then, he has had quite a few releases and remixes for different record labels. he has dj gigs with huge names of the electronic scene and in large festivals in slovenia and became the official slovenian hero of the future in 2007 at the disconautica festival.he spends much of his time in his studio, where his thoughts are converted into notes and melodies, and as he often states, he finally found a style that suits him and always finds a challenge in. what is that style? he doesn t like to be defined by a specific music style, as he prefers and is influenced by many different genres of electronic music. alex long is definitely a name we will hear of in the future!

northern songs in a southern style - fab guiro!
welcome to fab guiro! - the album title is a combination of both the popular british phrase fab gear referring to all cool music & lifestyle aspects and issues surrounding the band and also stresses the relation to the percussion instrument guiro that is an integral instrument, sound and necessity in latin, salsa and especially traditional cuban music. fab guiro! is beat music in a fascinating, exotic robe, a drum roll of liverpudlian song pearls the songs of the beatles on fab guiro! do actually sound like copacabana, cuba and kingston - but always like the english harbour town in the summer - northern song in a southern style are indeed warm songs, fab guiro! simply means lots of fun, entertainment and thus celebrates our heroes.

no need to tell sth about these classic tracks!!

drokz alongside tafkat & mr courage bring us an insane 4 tracker of shear terror! ltd to 150 copies only - you need to grab this one before its sold out!!

sold out !!! will never be repressed !! decks exclusive !!! ultraphat prime time groovin techhouse tracks !! already played by karotte (great stuff / cocoon / break new soil)... for kurbits records second release we turn to monobrain, who you may already know of from his earlier release this year, the excellent >indian house< on question mark records. played and loved by brothers vibe, italoboyz and julien chaptal among others. tin tin tin is a tool for the floor featuring the patented amsterdam groove. sometimes a simple cowbell on top of a relentless groove is all you need to put a smile on peoples faces! disco church on the label side: driven by a rolling bongo groove with a punching bass line underneath, toppled with sprinkles of church organ & bells and to top it all off - a choir of monks. a sublime piece of undeep happiness!

the mind melt keeps melting. pretty soon we will just be puddles of freaky essential oils, reduced down to our effervescent essence, like jasmine, or dry kool-aid. of course we are talking about onur Ízers album kasmir, the gift that keeps on giving. once again renowned artists have come out in full force reworking selected tracks off onurs album for vakants remix-only vr. first up is mr. rajko m³ller, better known as isolÚe, who having spent some time growing up in algeria, continues with the african remixer theme (tunisian born loco dice remixed eclipse on part 1. you know us, as if we even need an excuse to work in africa somehow.) isolÚe takes onurs otherwise chilling innervoice and reinterprets it into a thick warm blanket of reassuring bounce. flipping the record inverts dimensions of time and space. abyssfully deep legend baby ford takes the already ethereal aida and turns it into the soundtrack for finding the god particle. its scary, yes, but ultimately it could explain everything.

you might remember collen & webb who from one of the early gamm releases (the jamaican jerk off). the boys are now back with two hot reworks on soul diva pauline?s hit single ?give me a call?. for fans of the soulful philly sound we recommend the ?soulful smash? version which rides on the o?jays ?back stabbers? sample. but if u?r into the amy winehouse sound u definitely need to check the ?northern smash? version with its jazzy loops and fierce rhythms. btw, watch out for more collen & webb action on gamm later this year...they got sum hot motown stuff in their trunks!

per martinsen aka mental overdrive shouldnt need any introduction being the granddad of the norwegian electronic music scene and all... hidden away in a little snowcave near the polar circle hes currently preparing the bits that eventually will become his debut album for full pupp.weve heard some bits and though wed like to keep them all under the lid for a little while longer, heres a little sneak peek of what hes done and hopefully preparing you off his unique take on modern dance music taking in elements of new wave, new beat, detroit and dubstep on the way. per unleashed this on us at one of the full pupp nights in oslo and recently we saw how it took the roof off at fabric... for the b-side we paired per up with the equally detroit-loving blackbelt andersen which gives us a hi-speed samba techno work out with a unhealthy deep bass.

this is the second of 2 specially re cut remix 12inchs from the bent archives, leading up to the release of the hotly anticipated bent...the best of album hitting the shelves in the summer. on the second instalment of the remix series x press 2 legend ashley beedle steps again with his sublime remix of always following on from that there is pilooskis very current sounding edit of leavin me. on the flip legendary dj and producer francois k lends his talents to swollen and finishing of the ep serge santago does his business on comin back... what more do you need?

dj support from skream, laurent garnier, si begg, mysterious mr o (detroit grand pubahs), nerm, otto von schirach, and many more!
take electro bass noise, gore grind, idm glitch, calliope, breakcore gabber jungle, gangsta rap, mix them all together and what you get? otto von schirach . for æbass lowÆ the oddball shreds hip-hop ( i always felt that hip-hop beats need shark-bite rhythms or chain-sawsounds ), corrupts miami bass and perverts techno, saturating his hard drive with sonic detritus . otto von schirach (half cuban / half german) was born in 1978 in the swamp infested refugee world of little havana miami.

the debut 12inch from finnish duo hannulelauri! first up is glittering night, conjuring visions of 8 bit videogame soundtracks applied to the dancefloor, or an alternative theme to the movie robocop (which lauri seems to have a strong affinity for), with shimmering electric synth chords washing over a commodore 64 groove before a peter hook soundalike drops a lovely bassline, making new order comparisons inevitable (a good thing!). perfect late night machine funk. next is sally 2000, a more introspective piece with insistent digital strings providing the foundation for a childlike toy chime melody, pulsating bass and more as layer upon layer builds to a fuzzed out, pixelated yet beatless climax. finally, the late night vibe continues as sally 2000 gets a version from finlands techno/house master jori hulkkonen who works the tracks pleading strings into a more dancefloor friendly mix, adding perfectly tuned drums and a nice, fat kick but keeping the synth melodies intact and the tempo slower than your normal electrohouse jam. adventurous djs looking for alternative moods need look no further! another strong flexx release.

happy birthday systematic!!! dicke geburtstagstorte mit 21 kerzen, geschnitten in 5 gleichgroße stücke. stephan bodzin, robert babicz, technasia, gorge & nick curly, markus fix, jerome sydenham, dachshund und noch viele mehr zeigen hier wie gut sie backen können... den gaumen freuts!!

spencer product is back after his debut mix cd product. this time he delivers a party anthem we bite with razor sharp remixes from londons tronik youth and nyc darlings designer drugs. we bite, named after one of spencers classic lower east side sleezefests is an ode to honest to goodness late night debauchery. its all about downtown basements, pbr, dirty sex, cocaine and vomit...what more do you need. spencers original is an overdriven distorted electro rock affair while designer drugs clean it up a bit for the late night electro beatdowns. tronik youth keep things very 80s new wave disco with heavy reverbs on the drums, cheap synths and vocoders all the way...if you cant get a trip in to new york this year just close your eyes and this record will take you there.

delusions hits the spot once again with number 3, this time highlighting the production skills of a certain zepp001. the seattle based disco obsessive has been leaking out high class edits over the years under a dizzying array of deliberately forgettable pseudonyms but feels the time is right to push his original tracks. who better then to make these beauties available for you discerning djs than delusions of grandeur. dont sleep is a dark, brooding groover with throbbing bass, cute cuica fills and intense strings that lalo schifrin would be proud of. a real heavy mood setter and as good an introduction to the sound of zepp001 as you re likely to need. next up we have the mighty revenge in for remix duties on dont sleep. the much hyped master of the edit keeps the vibe of the original well and truly in place but opts for an even more stripped back approach leaving all the space for crisp claps, slowly building strings and bowel wobbling bass. flip over for giraffe, a more upbeat affair where the filtered keys come to the fore and things steer in a hyped up deep house direction. show your luv...

djs is a label focused on releasing original material from timeless artists. our releases will be only for djs / limited edition no promos. for this 5th release, we bring you the best of the best & obviously the rarest 12 inches around. a side comes up with the amazing track from the it donnie & obviously we brought you the mix that you definitely need to have, the ron hardy mix (back from 1986), full of lust & deepness. a pure chicago anthem & a rare chance to get this in your dj bag for a decent price. a cornerstone for todays timeless djs. on b1 we get the fantastic santos beat the knuckles (mental mix done by franckie knuckles & written by ron hardy again), this track is so modern in terms of production that it still fit in any techno or house dj set without a doubt & on b2, we get virgo with do you know who you are & as you know, this was the supergroup project of marshall jefferson, adonis & vince lawrence in 1986 (!). you wont find this track anywhere else...

with mind reflection ep vol 1, franck roger is going back to the early years of house! in fact he shows a lot of himself, musically, and vocally (feat mani hoffman). some may call it old-school, franck simply calls it 100% pure house music. supported by main djs!

what sharon van etten?s heart bleeds her songs soak in and offer up to those throats in need of slaking. this is what we expect from musicians who trade in the autobiographical. we hold forth empty vessels and expect them to be filled with the reflective elements of a songwriter?s soul, mirrors within which we search for some small recognizable part of the self. ?because i was in love? features sharon van etten on vocals, acoustic guitar and tambourine, and greg weeks on electric guitar, organ and wood blocks.

4th & last release for the masomenos third eye project… 3 tracks, 3 different collabators… curro savoy, who was already introduced on the previous ep, lemos & sis, who dont need anymore to be presented…lets listen..

cabin fever volume 5 comes from radio slave himself. cabin fever follows up with another of radio slaves secret weapons. >dont you know?< has been an exclusive secret weapon for radio slave, since the rekids rooftop party at sonar last year. this track doesnt need any fancy notes or kind wordsà its just rough as f**k. lookout for more of radio slave on rekids in 2009 and watch out for the next cabin fever release from runaway. limited edition coloured marbled vinyl (500 copies).

10inch !!!! this is something special. 10 years after its very limited release (simply due to a low budget and limited sales expectations, not to try and make the record scarce), norm talleys the journey is picked up by a a few hip berlin djs, and a fire starts with the record being offered on ebay for over €100.00, because nobody can find a copy. even norm had to borrow a copy when he went to dj in berlin and the berlin party crowd had already asked him to confirm if he was bringing the record..no joke. so here is that tune, the journey, now re-mastered by stefan betke and cut by andreas@schnittstelle, and sounding very nice. on the flip is the unreleased in yo soul, chosen by third ear to complement the journey and complete a full on in your face piece of norm talley groove. and to round it off, its on a 10. cool and compact. just like norm, who is known in the dj circles of detroit as a secret weapon.. need your party fixing?... call norm talley. serge at clone kindly added a few words... nice re-issue of an obscure dj favorite produced by norm talley and previously released on the nouveau riche label from detroit. here you have two tracks that turn out to be great dj tracks when played out loud. the journey somehow got lost in obscurity. but luckily someone was clever enough to get it back out again, together with the previously unreleased in yo soul, and here they are... 10 inches of pleasure! pure detroit house music as we like it

this is the first release in 2009 for the funkier side of ibreaks, with this supreme dreams come true by don dj mutiny ft diigii. without any kind of doubts this is a really huge vocal track which will get the ladies dancing with their sexiest moves all over the place. if you dont get laid with this tune, you clearly need some plastic surgery!!!

excelent dj tools, played by 2000 and one, chaptal and many more,,, after the massive success of the remake volume 2 & played in rotation everywhere in the world, remake musique back with solid release…. what you need is ever played & supported by 2000 & one, chaptal & others….done by artists ever seen on bang bang, freak n chic, get physical & more… its sure…youi will listen it in ibiza & maybe one track of this summer…. >i got under my skin< done by german artist with nina simone sample..for sublime deepness time ! sure another high quality release

neville was resident dj at the legendary checkpoint charlie for many years, is one of the midnight steppers and has recently released some amazing house music with new producer kink to great acclaim. this is him all on his own. its a slab of bad-boy chicago house. a 707 drum machine, a bouncing bassline, pitched down vocals and a serious case of the jack. what more do you need? move quickly cos this one will fly out sharpish and be smashing dancefloors to bits all summer.

nice price deal !!! 3lp album (long versions!) with collaborations from the likes of soulwax, jesper dahlback, gonzales, jori hulkonnen, jake shears and james murphy, its a riot. these are the times, and these are the rhymes !æi feel i have become exactly what leonard cohen would be if he owned a jetski with a detachable sidecar æ

for this 4th release, we bring you the best of the best & obviously the rarest 12 inches around! a side comes up with the great zig zag from dj chaka bud originally released in 1993 and for the first time available the legendary unreleased extended sax mix (more than 10min of pure house meets jazz madness), this track was done way before st germain & all the jazzy house thang, with today minimal producers like sis or others trying to get the win formula for an ibiza anthem by just sampling a sax, this is defintely the only one you really need to have. if you need a record to bang a party, this is the right one. a cornerstone for todays timeless djs, such as luciano or villalobos. on b1 & b2, we have the all time classic from phuture we are phuture & slam!, all about drums, acid & insane vocals from 1988!
