amplified orchestra provide more unhinged disco party on one ep than most dj s pack in one hour! this awesome new amplified release is part house, part disco with a hint of cosmic spaciness. arpeggio is a long and deep galactic trip with atmospheric strings, dope synths and spaced-out effects. an analogue bubblebath of sounds combined with a pumping disco beat and static bassline. the fighter is an excellent mid-tempo disco work-out. killer percussion with banging beats, grooving bassline and enchanting vocals provide for an hypnotic dancefloor nugget. rumble is a robotic an quirky electronic cosmic dancefloor stormer. amplified orchestra have been around releasing the dopest sounds since 2002. their releases on their own label, amplified, gained support from disco and house lovers all over the world. not a lot is known about who is behind the amplified orchestra moniker, although there is a chicago address stamped on the vinyl. but where the music comes from is irrelevant when it s good

eargasmics 10th release showcases 3 different perspectives of the house sound from 3 different producers. all night dance - the debut from bjak and the unofficial eargasmic theme song, is an ultra smooth stomper thats reminiscent of the mid 90s loft party scene. a definite pick for all the deep heads. tetrode musics (and long time eargasmic member) specter adds his signature 5am beatdown sound style to this 12inch with i dont need. on the flip, the sun god makes a valiant return to eargasmic with an 11 minute beat track pulled out of his archives thats, as you ve guessed, complete mayhem.

renegade soundmachine byronic: rsm are gary asquith (renegade soundwave, rema rema) & renault schubert (film2). the text for byronic was penned by the author and bon viveur lord byron himself a couple of years ago. renegade soundmachines tongue in cheek piece of work mirrors their anarcho decadent character, which gary asquith already used to bring in with his legendary project renegade soundwave probably a robbery despite the byronic irony, theres yet a message in the attitude. film 2 big city heart: film2 are the french actress betty la gachette (voice, dictaphone, field recordings, camera, typewriter) and once again sir renault schubert (electronics, guitar, bass, edrums, camera, software) from berlin. with big city heart they cry out an emotional and momentary perspective of capitalism, urban and individual mutations with gasoline in the air and vaseline on my hair.

iron curtis pieces originate in a place simultaneously tuned to the sounds of detroit, chicago and hamburg. in his home town of nürnberg, johannes paluka is more familiarly known under his surname, which he goes by at the turntable. intertwining deep-house with soulful techno in a disturbingly enchanting manner, his sound moves in the equilibrium of reduced, but never minimal. flashes of kitsch brighten the dark universe of iron curtis, but fail to interfere with the melancholy subtext. profound music for the dance floor!

for the very first time on kitsune to the exception of a remix! etienne de crecy does an impressive live show with cubes highly recommended. with daft punk, air and alex gopher, he is a member of the french producers club who made history. his track here is techno in the old and noble sense of the term. ultraviolence on the dancefloor. each time its played in clubs, faces look like they are melting, the crowd is on its knees, begging for mercy and they are happy to be there. then >hanukkah< also works in the car monsieur jo, etiennes partner here, is a sound engineer and has produced albums for phoenix and cazals.the ep includes remixes from rising french producers les petits pilous and kitsunes favorite australian dj beni!

the right side up ep is the first solo record release from frankie j since his departure from the famed sound republic duo that spatula city records knows so well. what you can expect is all the flavorings of the style you know so well but will leave your breath with long lasting freshness. on the a side we have shuck n jive, which is a super bouncy throwback to the classic ghetto house sound that keep asses in the air and feet working. the flip side burns with a tasty new school jacker called phat soul kicks.

hairy claw follow up the johnny d, akufen, funk d void, agnes, kiki (and many more!) supported release from dan drastic with this, calculus >loosey goosey<. mid-tempo, groove based house at its best, >loosey goosey< is a lurching, sinister cut of the highest order. the remix comes from none other than reboot. currently riding high with his amazing >letters /be tougher< on cadenza as well as amazing remixes for the likes of lemos and warieka on below and connaisseur respectively, reboot has delivered a peak time remix which combines jacking fm bass, loose percussion and the trademark reboot arrangement to brilliant effect.

big with nick curly, jimpster, pablo bolivar, alexi delano, demon days, davide squillace, agnès, audiofly,. andi numan, another newcomer of new zealand origin, presents his ingenious take on house, fusing traditional acid and contemporary styles with ease. we are excited. this one goes out to everybody feeling tired with deep house, abandoned or stuck with techno, but still looking for the one beat, that rules them all. andi numan studied various instruments like piano from a young age of three years. in the early ninties he got sucked into the young electronic music scene, fell in love with analogue gear and started dj-ing at open air events and abandoned warehouses.

the pump ep is a typically genre-bending mixture of pumping, groovy house tracks, exploring the many sides of this highly regardedproducers fruitful repertoire. lead track the pump is a vivacious number that takes a clean, modern house aesthetic as a base and later infuses it with a dirtier, earlier morning vibe, with phoniques playful use of the resplendent chord stabs. its a slow burner indeed, and yet another example of his effortless arrangement talents. fancying a spot of fresh air and a trip into the audio countryside, bike ride is an even more playful journey into the kooky electronic world of phoniques studio outings. solid drums and warm sub bass provide the energy for all manner of pops and tweaks to unfold. its another deeper track but be warned it still has the power to lift a crowd up onto its tip-toes. going down more of a techno route, tooltime completes the package and breaks out the big guns for some serious heads down dancefloor ignition. urgent and tight late night action, not for the faint of heart, the tracks title is too modest - it should really read ‚ peak time

tribal infected phonky pattern techno

the first release on this new label is from gatto fritto who has released records on dissident and electric minds and recently remixed subway on souljazz. the a side hex is a nine minute, mid tempo, atmospheric, bearded disco trip taking in falsetto vocals, straight to video synths, acoustic guitars and the budget, analog death rattle of a vintage siel cruise. the bmside beachy head is a teutontastic tribute to the uks favourite suicide spot. a 3/4 krauty synth builder that spills into layered waves of guitars and unforgiving rocks of heavy analog bass...think klaus schulze and steve reich rolling off a cliff in 1983 datsun cherry.

on Áir with barem, ryan crosson, margaret dygas, karotte, anthony collins, hugo and many more!!! the berlin / lausanne based avant-garde label minimood moves straight forward, presenting swiss artist gregorythme from the legendary cadenza duo digitaline, who irresistibly demonstrates how groovy calculating square roots can be!! together with minimoods permanent tokyo-based artist so inagawa, yet another scene bending offer from this evolving labels stable is brought directly to your lovely turntables: the square roots ep

der thal is been playing all over germany and hes been trying to build up his own sound and skills. after making a great remix of reynolds track >craft< on trenton 027 he is now giving us 3 great tracks for a full maxi. mentona ep is a bit of a journey into what trenton use to be about at the very beginning with a techno that is very close to the old school detroit vibe… in der thals music there are a lot of melodic sounds and tough tight beats to keep us on the ground. >mentona< and >maszo< are floating on air with strings and synth lines when >puston< reminds us more of some >tejada< grooves! a great ep anyway from der thal who is definitely on the way to become one of these great young gifted producers that care about music mainly.

another serious result from our warehouse rummaging! si begg is a man of many musical personalities, his list of aliases is impressive to say the least (bigfoot, buckfunk3000, lenny logan, s.i. futures, zygmunt janowski...). but one of his oldest, and certainly one of his strangest, is cabbage boy. in fact i confess i am old enough to remember his releases in the early 90s on cassette tape under the umbrella of the >cabbage head collective< (which also included such techno notables as cristian vogel & tim wright) - and pretty mental they were too. the lost tapes vol. 1 doesnt disappoint on that front, containing such gems as a remix of 80s pop mysteries frank chickens>we are ninja<, and an electronic cover version of >king kong< by frank zappa (ask your parents...). totally out there, but totally cool at the same time...highly recommended to anyone looking for something with some real personality amidst the hard-drives full of faceless (and usually nameless) digital fluff

jorge has been a central figure on the latin-american musical stage since the 80s-first as the co-founder of chiles beloved political rockers los prisioneros, then as a restlessly inventive solo musician and as one half of gonzálo martínez, the experimental electronic duo with dandy jack (martin schopf). now based in mexico city and working alongside loreto otero, jorge presents los updates, a new project combining electro-pop with an unusual approach to minimalist house and techno. designed both as a studio affair and a live performance, los updates expands its collaborative scope by reaching out to a crew of well-known chilean and european musicians who were central to the development of chilean techno in the mid 90s: ricardo villalobos, dandy jack, luciano and tobias freund, all of whom deliver defiantly original remixes across a series of 12-inch singles. tobias. fills the a-side with his remix of >pictures of you< simply one of the most dazzling things youll hear this year. tobias. recent string of work-singles for wagon repair and ostgut ton, as well as remixes for two armadillos and jim rivers-has shown him to be a master of the hypnotic groove, and here he entrances like never before, laying down a stark 808 drum pattern which he threads through dubby keys, analog explosions and liquid bass figures. on the b-side cadenzas luciano is getting late and brings his inimitable touch to the remix of >etting late<. luciano reworks the song into a lean, bleepy groove that marries the cool restraint of vintage dbx to lucianos own effusive style, buoyant and percussive and completely enveloping..

its house but not as we know it! young david, aka dave young, chose his artist name as a reminder of what it said on his office door before he took some time out in the summer of 2006. swapping the office for what an estate agent might describe as a cosy basement studio in stockholm, he now sits around making beats all day the fuji ep is musical adventure. bridging the gap between soulful and minimal and blending crunchy mid-tempo party beats with intoxicating two-tone, jazz and dub flavours. equally at home on the dance floor, ipod or lounge stereo, the tracks have a sense of space and depth and, above all, a real musicality which comes not (only) from the pushing of a few buttons, but from a lifelong quest

a1// >heidschnukke<. roddy was inspired by nordic sheep named >heidschnucke< to do this housetune. funky chords, spherical pads and a booty shaking rhythm groove together and lead you to the dancefloor. a2// >sunprooft< by sasch bbc. if you party open-air and reach the point the sun is rising, this is the track you think you have to play! sasch bbc delivers a playful anthem, laced by elements of funky percussion and lush atmospherical chords. b1// >heidschnukke< terry lee brown jr. remix. hertzmusic welcomes terry lee brown jr. with a delightful remix of roddys a1 track. the tlb remix shifts the hole tune a little deeper with smoothly distorted rhodes and a solid bassline
