truly beautiful deep house records are things to be treasured, akin to proper songs that will last the test of time, not made to meet a fleeting fad. this is one of those records and a real pinnacle & departure for blm & pawas. although the term deep is an oft overused one, >waiting game< personifies the genres true key traits with a subtly moving groove that gradually builds, using layers of subtle percussion and a rich, warm synth motif to make a rich tapestry of sounds before finally introducing the beautiful female vocal that gives the track its name. patrice scott liked the track so much that he agreed to remix it - his first ever outside of his own, excellent, sistrum label. using plenty of the original track parts but taking it a different direction, patrice really has come up with something special. the track moves along with snippets of the main vocal and clever use of the main synth, the groove being underpinned by patrice s classic sense of production before moving into a more classic >detroit< ending - a mindset with a bigger, more dramatic sensibility

stuttgart geh¥rt zwar nicht unbedingt zu den gr¥?ten st?dten in deutschland, aber mit sicherheit zu den sch¥nsten. au?erdem ist stuttgart das pflaster der vielleicht besten punk-, skin- und hardcoreszene in deutschland, bezogen auf den zusammenhalt und den antifaschistischen background. dar?ber hinaus ist stuttgart die heimat der freiboiter.
die band existiert bereits seit 1997. in der aktuellen besetzung seit 2001. der sound spiegelt alle m¥glichen einfl?sse wieder. punk, oi!, rock n roll, hardcore. nenn es einfach streetpunk, oder such dir selbst einen begriff aus. die teilweise politischen und sozialkritischen, aber auch ironischen und schlicht aus dem allt?glichen leben gegriffenen texte werden kombiniert mit treibenden riffs und eing?ngigen melodien.die produktion des albums ist der hammer 12 bzw. 14 richtig gute songs die es einem schwer machen nicht von anfang an mit zu gr¥hlen
denk ?ber die freiboiter was du willst. mit ihrer spielfreude und energie brauchen die f?nf jungs keinen vergleich zu scheuen. schon gar nicht mit irgendwelchen zweifelhaften, in die jahre gekommenen reunion-bands. dies wurde im in- und ausland, bei shows mit brigada flores magon, broilers, guerilla, heros & zeros, klasse kriminale, loikaemie, los fastidios, lurkers, lokalmatadore, miburo, the movement, oppressed, prowlers, peter and the test tube babies, sham 69, stage bottles, sidekick, subhumans, scrapy, u.k. subs, volxsturm etc. schon mehrfach unter beweis gestellt.
es w?re falsch die freiboiter als reine politische band zu bezeichnen, jedoch ist der begriff >antifascist oi!< nicht nur beiwerk, sondern fester bestandteil des selbstverst?ndnisses der band. das k¥nnen heutzutage wohl nur wenige bands aus dem so genannten streetpunk sektor von sich behaupten.gib ihnen etwas bier (besser nicht zu viel!), schn?r die stiefel und mach dich bereit f?r den sound aus motorcity stuttgart.

the 2nd vinyl release of house mannequin features two disco house tracks and comes as a limited edition white label. the first track is titled: but i cant see that dancin you. it is based on an old 80s track which has been cut up to a perfect modern disco house track. a track for the peak time of every disco house set! the second side consists of a gently grooving disco edit track named draw. both songs have a very positive vibe. although made for the dance floor, you can enjoy both tracks on your small home hifi too.greg wilson, jesse rose and many more supported the last release house mannequin ep1 and the new ep will definitely find lots of new friends in the house community.

dan curtin, now releasing records for 11 years, returns back to classic form with a 4 track ep of smooth, deep, calculated beats. dan takes us through a time warp with elements of jazz, funk, and r&b, with his own inimitable touch that puts his music in a unique category all its own. autonomic groove reminds of the better purveyors of fine funk material, while other songs such as bygone epigone and chained present new takes on dans familiar jazzy sound. another cool down low item!! tip!

>gobbldigook< is the spectacular opener of sigur ros recent album >med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust<, undeniably one of the most hymnic songs they have written thus far. fellow islanders stephen stephenson aka presidentbongo (of gus gus fame) and jack schidt couldnt resist but to transform the complex, polyrhythmic original into an exceptionally ethereal club track. when the angelic voice of jon birgisson unfolds on a club soundsystem it reallyfeels like you are in heaven. the ultraslim percussion groove takes over the tribalistic atmosphere of the original but catapults it some hundered light years forward into the future. thomas fehlmanns remix on the flipside is nothing short but sensational. we have no clue how he managed to turn this song into a schaffel but we salute him and take this as another unmistakable sign that the schaffelfieber is rising again in cologne, berlin, reykjavik andelsewhere ...

john tejada was marooned in los angeles in the summer of 82. a strange place to grow up coming from vienna austria. even stranger considering the lack of techno there in the 90s. in a land of glowsticks and desert parties, tejada stuck to his love and development of his own unique electronic sound. fast forward to 2007 when detroit area native josh humphrey was also marooned in los angeles. it didnt take long for the two to meet and connect the cables on their modulars into a system twice as big. the result is marooned, palettes newest collaboration between john tejada and josh humphrey. the trio of songs reveal three sides to the duos work. the title track, marooned, joins humphreys modular synth work with tejadas beats and soothing pads, the result being a slice of beat-driven melodic techno created in a city where such sounds are rarely heard. melodiac continues from there with a lighter mood, with humphreys modular melodies and tejadas signature stabs and rhythms. rounding out the three is concrete safari, which largely focuses on humphreys modular fm synth work that slowly evolves into a cluster of tribal sounds, modular birds and grainy goodness. humphreys knowledge of synths and programming is quite extensive. he currently works with la based big city music, a dealer of modular and boutique synthesizers. it is also a place tejada frequents to test most of his gear

lets have fun! - thats the mantra of big zis and the crew of nation music. the swiss black music label has been broadening its musical spectrum over the past years. just like the artist big zis, whose music could most likely be labeled electro pop alternative punk rap, they dont care about common conventions.while rap becomes more and more pimped out, house loopier and minimal narrow-minded, big zis hooks up with a top-class troupe to get it her own way.for her most recent album und jetz … (and now …) she worked with marton di katz and valentino tomasi (both members of kalabreses famous rumpelorchester), who laid the musical foundations for most of the songs. for the impulsive electro on the track suure räge (acid rain) however, big zis collaborated with the techno producer michal ho (tuningspork) at the studio. suure räge got remixed by several well-known producers: robag wruhme (freude am tanzen) and canson (gs zürich) are to be found on volume 1 and the soul brothers lexx (aka kawabata / drumpoet) and kalabrese (stattmusik) successfully combat boredom on volume 2. the sound scapes of the remixes couldnt be any more diverse and cover a broad variety of styles. and be sure: volume 3 - work in progress - will delight you as well!

russells contribution to the modern music scene is of such imortance that many consider his work to be untouchable but in this release all of the modern day producers have carefully picked out key elements of his songs whilst recording an entirely new and up to date soundtrack. over the last few months yam who?, robin & simon lee from faze action, singer mary moore, nycs pocketknife and my tiger my timing, andy spence from new young pony club have worked hard to create entirely new instruments and vocals. additional remix comes from mark e. especially fantastic cover version of >in the light of a miracle< by faze action ft. yam who and mary moore. features sleeve notes by danny krivit. heavy weight release.

supported by gildas (kitsune), les inrockupitbles (fr), discodust & more!! jupiter are based in paris. the boy/girl duo have recently moved there from london where they met on an empty dancefloor. it must have been fate (or their love for retro hits) that brought them together to write songs so deeply rooted in times when prince was still known and glitter wasnt a taboo. quarles and amÚlie are part french (the romance in their music!), part english (the lyrics!) but get along pretty well. their songwriting and production clearly takes the best of both worlds, earning them appraisal and appreciation of the valerie family. the song starlighter has been getting a lot of attention in the blogosphere and grew to become an underground hit since it was first leaked. its catchy, its dreamy, its sticky and its sweet. now, after official remixes for metronomy and chew lips, jupiter are preparing their first ep, which is to be released in september 2009, containing remixes by thai pop sensation cyndi seui and steve moore (the man behind lovelock and zombi). get ready for sheer bliss
