through basic channel and rhythm and sound — his collaborations with mark ernestus — moritz von oswald first of all conjured from thin air, then comprehensively mapped out the grounds of a deep exchange between real deal jamaican dub and classic, detroit style techno. the duos accomplishment and influence are immense. the repercussions of their work within electronic dance music have been incalculable...

its already well-known that cocoon recordings is a sucker for tracks that stand out of the usual field of - lets be honest - often uniformly reduced tech-house, and the past nine years of the labels history have proven this sustainably. and the rhein-neckar area based team flatner/lopazz are again two hot candidates to leave their very special mark on the summer of 2009. after all, circlemusic manager alex flatner is rocking the floors as a dj and producer for already 10 years now, having been releasing for labels such as harthouse or black nation, whereas the heidelberg-born stefan eichinger aka lopazz has made himself a name with releases on imprints from the likes of output, international deejay gigolo and mainly get physical. together they celebrate a very funky understanding for percussive techno, which is setting highly meaningful moments for the primetime, particularly by means of lascivious vocals. i wanna take you all night long, for sure! and you definitely cant find a better expression for the perfect pounding symbiosis between bass-focused club stompers and economically dosed pop elements than its time to make up your mind.

this release is a very special one for us… indeed, roskow kretschmann has been for years one of the music makers that surprised us constantly and teased our appetite, displaying his rich musical background inside of projects like jazzanova, kosma or sygaire. the tracks selected by dairmount (after hours hanging out in roskows sound lab over the years) are genuinely outstanding in his entire discography. they sound like no others and reveal rare aspects of his >musical persona<. this is why they are representing perfectly our quest for >hybrid club music< crossing the lines of the original spirit of house & techno. the ep opens with the futuristic techno soul of the time is now. perfectly named, the tune fuses with class, dusty jazz samples, obscure soul vocals, juicy claps and overwhelming detroit techno keys. the result is a timeless club monster for the deepest moments. the second track that blasted us is mono:poly rightly shaped for audacious djs that enjoy to play >special< things. the track is supported by a solid programming as fellow beatmakers like mark pritchard, recloose or kenny dope originated in the 90s, mixed with biting analogue pressure, crazy batucada elements & a magic breakdown for all the lucky ones that will play it in the sunrise this summer. and last but not least, one of the label mavericks, marlow created a hell of a remix by delivering a 10 minutes techno epic that would make our detroit godfather c2 blush of satisfaction. thanks to all of them for the fantastic music

incl. rmxs by hugo & dragosh !! over the past few years the pair have been building a reputation on the leeds club circuit for their dj skills. their first forays in the studio saw them produce the single tongue , which once picked up on by lawler, went on to be a regular in his sets and a catalyst in his decision to get the guys aboard the good ship viva. their take on the jack ep, cemented that decision and the label head now gives them the chance to truly present themselves to the world with this debut release. opening track osasuna see s the duo create a wonderful percussive track. built around a deep sax melody that will have the floor grooving. superb drum programming, with lashings of bongo work, make this a perfect opener to the e.p. and one that will easily make its mark in the current, refreshing, house sound... who better to remix osasuna than lawler s most recently unearthed diamond, romanian dragosh. ..

follow up of from the speaker, released on mark knights toolroom label!! they are back now with this 4 track ep.

it may have been fate that erphun s very first gig was on halloween, because his music is brooding, pounding, moody and transformative, as if from another realm entirely. his ability to build a mood is mesmerizing and transports the listener to that alternate spiritual level that his moniker infers. having spun around california with residencies for naked, flirt and hotel california and playing at 1015 folsom (san francisco), sevilla (las vegas), broadway (san diego), voodoo lounge (las vegas), risqu (las vegas, new year s eve 2004), and the shelbourne hotel (miami, winter music conference), erphun began to make his mark. erphun s music has been spun in clubs all over the world and is succinctly summed up by steve lawler as a deep, dark and underground unique sound that trademarks his pieces. with early releases on ingrooves, and ascension records followed by releases on viva music oliver klein s mutekki and audio therapy, his name is now instantly recognizable among the tech-house, minimal, techno world of spinning producers who globe trot his compositions to be dropped on every conceivable audience. the reaction of the listener to his slow, driving builds that weave between the almost symphonic-like movements of each of his pieces is always jaw dropping and is usually followed by an exclamatory siiiiiick! . erphun is also a highly sought after re-mixer for artists who want to hear the 4am version of their pieces. the only way to really experience this immense talent is to see him in action. a night of erphun s making heightens the listener s musical aesthetic and aurally illustrates his personal musical vision
