pulsing warm and deep house with a sparse production that allows for maximum appreciation of a beautiful flute and organthat solo through most of the record, with narration on the a-side by ill-bosstino. flip for the even better instrumental with a sound that falls somewhere between early spiritual life and ferrer & sydenham

another crater maker from the dmz cache, mala unleashes the up rolling classic left leg out. mercilessly driven by an insistent morse code arrangement and interlocking 4/4 polyrhythms this is an absolute winner from the man like mala. drawing influences from the rich soup of broken beat, garage and even funky house this one can slot in to any set with ease and drive a dance wild, just listen to any recent kode9 set, the proof is in the rewinds! the b side comes string with blue notez, a brooding slice of steppers pleasure with nuff dread bass, lonely sax licks and mutating snares for the twisup factor. you know you re going to love this one !! villalobos playlist !!

quentin harris revisits mr v s massive anthem and maybe even exceeds the original with a sweeping, twisting monster instrumental and the vocals cut-up like crazy

ohh gosh, this is a hit even before it s released. check out this new release from dlg & dave amstrong, both of the best house producers around

the synkope ep ushers in a new sound for mathias, one that is more full and less percussive than before yet also one that will not leave previous fans in the dark. taking his cue from his keen knowledge of the worlds dance floors, kaden translates this awareness straight on to vinyl without losing sight of todays complex sequences and sound structures. with the flood of faceless releases that threaten to sink even the most discerning record buyer theses days. there is a growing sense of urgency to make records that will remain classic and listenable even 10 years into the future. if you dont mind us saying we think this might just be one

this is so sweet.. detroit techno at its best !! i dont even try to describe it, just check it out. but dont forget the flip side. if chicago sound is your thing you can get one of the coolest chicago tracks in a long time. excellent track. the ep tops it off with a nice and dubby rhytm and sound kind of track

new righteous offering by label boss ron trent himself under his new rude boy science moniker: heavy skanking organ and percussive riddims, a massive bassline taking over the melody part, nuff dub stylings and a voice of thunder transport the essence of true roots music into deephouse. the flip holds a sparser dub with even more emphasis on the bassline. stomp down babylon

in association with afterdark records and broke recordings, 20k freaks is proud to present the next freakish release, featuring an original production from label artist agent k, alongside jbreak. the original mix is one of those belters that causes a massive stir on the dancefloor and makes every person spaz out as if they ve never heard music before. seriously heavy bass line shizzle from the u.s and if that wasnt enough, hardcore beats screwface steps up for remix duties and does what everyone thought was impossible, by turning it into even more of a stomper and creating a devastating effect! pure synth madness with fierce non stop chugging beats rolling from start to finish

the new ep >we are error designer< is the follow up of the 2nd album >min_tek< and sounds even more warm, spheric, clicking, shuffled, pulsatting, groovy and frisky partial flavoured with sweet female vocals and drifty crackling beats which are sneaking around you and stabs you in the back..

new born label hertz records, sprung from the depths of scanian no-mans land, begins its crusade towards world domination with a release from detroit dutchman orlando voorn. the fix man genuinely delivers his best release in years, bringing the high energy funk as usual with two deadly dance floor killers. >enter< is a driving techno monster, with an old school detroit minimal groove akin to rob hoods productions on m-plant or even some of the more tame blacknation releases, updated with a modern freshness in voorns own unique style. but as this music does not translate well into words in our opinion, descriptions are useless until you hear it for yourself

no need to introduce mazi & david duriez one more time, even those new in the house music business should have heard of them, the real chicago – paris connection. they have developed their own labels at the same time, gourmet & brique rouge, they built their carreers at the same time but this is only the second time, and surely not the last, that they go together in the studio. first time they produced the seminal everything is allright, one of the highlights from the audio soul projects album community this time they produced one of their futur classic, while david duriez was in chicago on the way to his detroit electronic music festival gig. produced in just one afternoon, the track is already acclaimed and hammered by all the big onesjosh wink plays it everywhere. mr.c has also been reported jumping in the booth to ask david what this track was.

souvenir records!!! lets just start this introduction with a quote: >we like the idea of seeing music as a souvenir, an impression you take from somewhere. something intimate to remember<. this is how the brothers schwarz aka tiefschwarz set the agenda for souvenir music, which they created with their french companion arthur velasquez and thus finally set up their own imprint after an eventful decade in the musicbiz. even just a quick listing of mighty deeds in the underground dance community would fill up page after page. if the story of king midas wasn t already centuries old, someone would have made it up now to describe the phenomenon of recent tiefschwarz remixes. who would serioulsy doubt that their golden touch also will rub on their own label and turn this start-up into another stellar success? cooked up in their berlin the first course >hey< by the artist ichundu is set to become the flavour of the month, even more so with extra delicious ingredients tiefschwarz added to their remix. yummy !! played by sven väth, sasse, chloe, tobi neumann, karotte...

notic nastic is, once more, another newcomer act on tonkind, who has to be watched with highly attention. its predicated individual sound made it become a hype on myspace within a month. so other labels, producers and popular djs already are asking to license and to remix several tracks, although it isn’t even out yet. we can t give to much infos about the backround and identity of the charachter behind this act, due to the fact that there is an aim, to stay anonym. that gives us more space to talk about the music itself and esspecialy about this debut release on tonkind

well, well, well… d.classics returns again to spread the funky good news… whatever you want to call funky: sometime pure funk, sometime heavy soul, sometime discofied, sometime electro-ish, even sometime 80s… but sure its funky ! so here we are, on a journey proposed by non-else than parisian sensation dj almost. after years (and we mean yearsss) of heavy activism behind the wheels of steel, almost agreed to share with the world some of his own heaviest re-edits. a side, get straight to the core of two of his 80s fave, stripping them down to the clubiest, most mixable parts. boy! how deep are those bass & beats? perfect peak hour, decerning crowd s dancefloors! b side lurks more into the p-funk direction, with a huge classic winner, full of moog-ish bassline, female choir background voices, and deep dark male gimmicks. well, 3 more classics brought back to you by the dclassics posse

mowgly aka sinbad aka marathon men has managed to impress us yet again with another great house 12 on the increasingly prolific freerange.solar systems is a deep house odyssey with lush mellow keys and tight grooves. and what is even more surprising is the choise of remixer domu. his mix of solar system is a great glitched out piece of afro broken beat. the perfect crossover record? most definitely

electro 2 tracker with funky vibes

think pro skateboarder, think renowned graffiti artist & think pure lyricist, and you barley scuff he complex surface to even begin to understand the one they call >bukue one<. living in sunny state california, bukue one is some what of a hero and well received thought the us for his emceee performances…

mindless boogie brings another 3 tracker edits bundle which sidesteps the obvious in favour of a more psychedelic approach. lead track >joe who< revisits >joe walsh - county fair<, but is completely re-arranged into an atmospheric instrumental. first track on the b-side is a re-edit of >faith healer< by >the sensational alex harvey band< with a lot of additional production. theres even an acid line! next on the b-side is a slow and sexy track originally by saint-tropez. why this hasnt been sampled yet and turned into a huge r&b hit, remains a mystery.

this 12 kicks off with jam 2 tha mother,a track that has been doing the rounds for a while as a westpark unit track apparently. its a fairly nice hiphouse bumper.its all about miles though. the looped piano sample works wonderfully well with the straight deep disco beats. and while the original is good, the soulphiction remix is the icing on the cake. they give it a certain industrial/techy edge, and make the sample stand out even better. add to that some dope detroit beatdown bass licks and beats, and you ve got yourself a catchy tune

the sweetversion of let’s get down is based on a basic spanish guitarmelody with uplifting vocals and funky hihats. the funky guitar even gets a little outof tone sometimes, to give that real 12 inch feeling to it. the low bassline combined with the stabbing kick delivers a groovy summerfeeling to the track.the original mix is a powerful clubrecord with an electro twist. especially the fatchunky bassline puts the dance floor to work.the groove remix started out as a experimental version of lets getdown but the vocals were so catchy, playectra decided to produce a more groovy version of it. the rawsounding guitar and crushedhihats makes the track loose his sweetness to give the track a stronger and energetic feel. the long break in the middle of the track pushes the track to a climax. the filtered guitars and loud bassline makes the track a little bit french sounding

box jams remixed part 2. after marcus mixx its p79s turn to get remixed. daniel wang comes with a sweeet new-york disco version with warm sounds and an even warmer groove... very nice! major swellings (aka prins thomas) comes with a nice long building dubby remix with a great additional bassline and loads of percussion added... works like crazy (like basicly all the things he and his buddy lindstrom are touching at the moment). and a new bonus edit by the finnish wonder boys themself. slightly different from the original with a more loose feel.

the track loud minority is dedicated to alex dallas loud minority residency in zurichs great club dachkantine, which closed down and was a home for great guests such as carl craig, pepe bradock, juan atkins, metro area, herbert and maurice fulton to name just a few. they all inspired us to create music which incorporates all our beloved music and combine different style elements to a fresh and maybe even a typical zurich sounding way. with dessert you can fade away and feel the ability of foster to take you into his simple but at the same time very sophisticated form of musical expression. kanona does what the title suggests. all tracks are flavoured with a great detroit feeling there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it.

kraze aka. richard jean laurent began songwriting and performing in 1985. in 1988 he created >i say shut up< and >the party<, who became a house music classics even before that term existed! these songs catapulted kraze into one of house music s first bonafide stars, making him performing at venues ranging from the best clubs to wembley arena and the prince of tunesia s home. he reached top 10 all over the world, but especially >the party< is still used from george clinton to david bowie to political campaigns to radio themes to coney islands.

the original mix is stripped back to a straight groove consisting of a massive bassline and a synthline, which surely leaves bodies sweating on the dancefloor! french gigolo ludovic delivers some really funky englisch vocals.. i’m sure he doesnt even know what he s really saying (i must to go in paris! i must organize myself! to arrange my clothes and my discs, and i hope that i ll not miss the plane) ??? well, we all had a major laugh when we heard the vocals.. and thats why we love this crazy guy ludovic!

this is the first sombre dreadful picture which 24- year-old artist lászló fogarasi produces at the beginning of his album which is immediately a small resignation from his own musical past. the film noire has retired. the second album rises more and more into something absolutely unexpected..... having exchanged the forests of somogy county for the budapest, his new record >splendid isolation< is more mature and more urban than the amazing first album >shallow and profound<
