after the well received debut ep on his own grey area ltd, tobia coffa is back with a 4 tracker focused on deepness and melody, ranging from shining summer vibes on the a-side to emotionally struggling melodies on the b-side. >dancing on the keyboard< combines a funky melody and a rolling groove on a big bassline, perfect for summer sets. >chords n brass<, as the name implies, develop its groove around those two main elements, filled with tight drums, making it a good choice for many context. >the strange family< is the moodier and more introspective track, with a dark bassline and a deep pressure. >margherita< is the most emotional track, filled with love and hope, characterised by blazing melodies which will leave the listener torn between smile and tears

fresh & ltd repress !! mark murphy is a jazz singer legend. he started in the late 50is, ruled the 60is and his records are a hipsters must have since the 70is. then he came to fame again when one gilles peterson got him into dingwalls in the late 80is and japanese producers united future organisation made murphys version of stolen moments (he wrote the lyrics) really big. recently he releases his second album love is what stays on verve (germany), produced by famous german trumpeter till brönner. another famous german producer, yes its henrik schwarz, touched the original track with its deep vocals and full orchestrra arrangement and created the ultimative fusion of jazz and the recent deep house sound from berlin. extremly tasteful. you will never heard strings, wooden brass, and such deepnees of murphy featured in the recent clubcontext but will do thanks to henrik schwarz. different to many others this remix gets released right after being finished in henriks studio so you can say this is the sound of the moment

heres a mighty steamroller of a track by funky californian cole medina, co-founder of the house arrest label, that aims to put the ghetto back in house music, and esteemed producer with a jazz background championed by the haute-volee of current disco and house djs. while his slo-mo bee-gees cut-up is still the center-piece of numerous latenight/ early morning sleaze hours worldwide, >red hot< is quite another beast: footstomping peak-time action with dangling funk guitar and dubby brass stabs. finally dropping after todd terje already included it in his resident advisor almost two years back with an additional stellar the mole ( wagon repair, philpot ) on the support. canadas funkdoobiest reconstructs it in a jacking, midtempo wild pitch manner around a dirty fuzzy bassline plus cut-up beat and wah-wah guitar that will slap you silly. this hurts so good!

metroline limited catches sonotheque pimping it. beautiful, rich synths and brass move right through this ep, bubbling through nice solid house grooves and soulful vocal cuts. >sugarblues< is the kind of house cut that technoheads go nuts for, with the loose, fluid structure of carl craig, the bump and grind of dj sneak and a smooth-as-a-babys-bottom sax line that runs the length of the track.

redux continue to pile on the pressure with a stellar line up of releases ready to drop through 2009 and beyond next up we have new yorks drrtyhaze, who ve dipped in and out of the discopolis with a handful of deadly cuts and remixes over the last couple of years. here they revisit the heady days of early house a la trax records, and update the sound into an altogether crispier form on the monstrous new york city jacks the mysterious ppf crew turn in a super heavy weight remix inspired in no small part by the raw energy of ron hardys musicbox sets a full bells and whistles workout thats already causing a stir from early promo mailouts finally make my body hot wraps up the ep with a brass punctuated slab of girth some balearia.

he making of this record inadvertently began in cuba in january 2008. powershovelaudio was recording in la havana some of the best contemporary cuban singers and musicians. the resulting recordings were of an inspiring beauty. the situation was that powershovelaudio had this outstanding collection of voices, woods and brass, all infused by the tropical warmth. it was first-class material that should be put in the best hands possible, then maayan came to mind. ônight longö is a synthetic work. maayan has inexplicably, quickly and with incredible precision captured the essence and the expressivity of the cuban musicians and taken it to a hitherto unknown place. maayan is of course well-known for her diligent talent in inserting voices of quality in her mixes, but in this occasion the result is more than surprising. instead of concentrating in her signature minimal beats, maayan has experimented with different cadences, depths and moods, leaving behind her swirl a disconcerting record of inspired beauty. this art in this record is graced with photography by one of the best and most influential photographers in the world: moriyama daido. maayan asked moriyama san for permission to use the cover image, a request which moriyama san, after listening to the record, gladly accepted

limited to 500 copies on coloured vinyl !!! the mysterious intrusion project (feat. on echospace 007) emerges once again and delivers another epic release. throughout the original mix of >tswana dub< you find smooth textured pads and a bassline even the mighty king tubby would surrender to. the melodies evolve in slow motion over time as the synth hits open and close into a fierce midnight skanking session so lo-fi you would think this was recorded at studio 1 in the 1960s. on the flip side brendon moeller serves up heavy bass reductions, live melodicas, brass sections and spatially aware dub fx. the phase90 mix dissects intrusions original into a full spectrum spatial affair as deep as the sea, epic and beautiful...

the original track is a sweet poppy bombastic disco-tune with lots of strings brass and vocal. bogdan irkuk & ultracity have created three remixes in total which katapults the song into cosmos and ads that epic electronic disco flavour to it with loads of nice synth pads, solo apreggio breaks vocoders and spaced out leads.

finest uk proggy 3 track ep with electro & acid house flavours

played by laurent garnier, danny howells, tom wax, hernan cattaneo, pig & dan, darko esser, mauro picotto, mike monday… four years ago jacob trier (husley) and august jackobsen (gunz) hooked up in london through their love of music. jackobsen was coming to the end of his ba in jazz music at trinity college, whilst jacob was playing dnb at various parties in and around the city. teaming up and bringing together their talents, they initially formed the group >nocturnals<. exploring various musical boundaries from deep electronica and ambient to break beat with jazzy undertones, and live performances with brass sections and vocalists, nocturnals found support from gilles peterson who signed them up to perform as part of his glenfiddich tour. as nocturnals developed so did husley and gunzs interest for techno and house, and their live dj sets using laptop, sampler, keyboards and turntables really took off.

a two track 12 inch of electrifying, catchy and simply deep underground music. side a, espac ( the shorter name variation of espace), is a funky, moody and cosmic sound sculpture that fits well into the minimal tech category. this track contains a bass-laden brass morphing sound which converts to a more trumpet horn like sound. the loudness and resonance of this lead sound will definitely grab the attention of the audience. strings from outer space, claps with a live funky feeling, shuffled hats and a radioactive background noise >wicked!!! side b, f.e.b., contains more morphing and electrifying hi pass resonance chord sounds. these sounds are combined with a warm stringful waving wall sound, a heartbeat like pulsating bass line and a simple offbeat playing open hi-hats. this track is relaxing but exciting at the same time which is sure to pack the dance floor!!

in the title track dunkelgold orchestral brass and a deep bassline are carrying the voice of chava alberstein to the dancefloor. dj click of nofridge (paris), who had already presented himself as producer and remixer on various releases and samplers and the violinist estelle goldfarb, together they succeeded in a absolutely unique and danceable remix.

lifting by name and very much by nature, this is high energy, bouncy house music that elates you for the duration. the rough, thudding base drums that are a feature of the track are smoothed over by elegant strings and soft keys. shena plays the euphoric songstress to perfection, while the brass and bassline led crescendo will leave even the most cynical of clubbers looking for a space on the dancefloor. marc grant calms things down a little for his remix, utilising casio esque keys, imaginative synths and poppin basslines, while letting shenas vocal speak for itself.

tango saty is a crazy dancer from klaus schulze. sounds huge on 12 inch and causes a storm of freaky dancing on the more discerning dancefloors with a wonky yet eminently groovy rhythmic structure and synth brass riffs that echo around in your head for days. when the bass drops its smiles all round. b shock r.e.r.b. is a classic piece of doomy yet uplifting cosmic elettro from london town that was a baldelli and loda play. getting increasingly hard to find on the original 12 inch and even if you do, this one is mastered with more weight and clarity

harrison crump bounces back with deeper, a full on gospel tinged song featuring dajae on vocals. driving rhythms with 80s percussive licks, along with lush strings, brass swells and a piano breakdown, propel a gritty sounding dajae to new heights, lifting you up on a warm feeling of well being. funk monkeys supply the remix, getting a tad tribal and freaky as they go in search of the k hole
