henry l is the new moniker of cologne based producer/dj thats already known to the drum & bass world as henree (with releases on established labels like soul:r, cia deepkut and soundtrax just to name a few). even though hes still busy in that genre (unless others) it was about time to contribute something to a genre he always felt and took inspiration from. the other day at the basement reminds on an early mood ii swing vibe, pitched down to the right tempo. marcus worgull stripped down >the other day at the basement< a little, focussed on dubby stabs and added some wonderful harmonies to this hypnotic tune. when the soulful piano comes in, theres no question that this marcus worgull dub is one of his best remixworks to date. >wake up< is a sexy 109 bpm monster and as funky as house should be. if you need one word to describe this dope jewel it might be bouncing!<. just awesome dope shit, soulful, slow and moving

downbeat / ambient 4-tracker by cologne liquid sky -club resident l.u.k.l.

this guy played at every afterhour from bucharest over berlin to cologne and now he drops his crazy debut single on keno records which comes with very strong remixes from monkey b (snork enterprises) and gurtz (einmaleins, lomidhigh, lesizmo:r). rock n roll.

the cologne based grossprojekt arose in 2006 from the rather coincidental neigbourship and clubbing friendship between techno dj and live act bastian bue?r and breakbeat producer alex cwicek. the year 2008 marks the end of their deliberate reluctance: their debut release on debox combines the different roots of the two artists to a new creative entity, resulting in an amazingly effective piece of techno in querschlaeger. raumkruemmung on the flipside works a bit like its own, streamlined transmission onto a straight bassdrum monotonous, raw and uncompromising.

massive oldschool soaked techno bomb 10 years after the sensationally successful >subway< release on kanzleramt 1998 (ka22 12” on re-order), richard created the impressive follow up >subway ii<. the munich man is very well known from his live-shows all over the world, from his own label >kurbel<, releases on dj hells label >gigolo<, >disko b< and just recently on the cologne based kompakt label >speicher<. - nuf said, enjoy!

goodies from debra dolce is a tight collaboration generated at coco machete hq in spanish harlem, nyc and polished up by zero cash of television rocks, cologne. around the corner from coco hq is local hip hop studio ybp. we saw an opportunity to bring some new elements to a production with our man zero cash. the hook to goodies was recorded in new york then sent over to cologne for that magic television rocks touch to be put underneath...the result is debra dolce. the a-side is a pounding, bass driven number with the vocals cut up, stuttered and pitch shifted to maximum effect. hit the flip for the dolce mix and you get a deeper electro disco affair with more vocals, funk guitar rhythms, stabs and laser sounds all the while being driven by zcs up to the edge basslines. weve got the goodies for ya, let the goodies talk to ya.

third and last single taken from the massive album >a cheerful temper< big with john digweed on radio 1 !! played by john acquaviva, marc romboy, sander kleinenberg, dj fex & martin eyerer >a cheerful temper<, the name of robert babiczs debut album for systematic rec is arguably the best way to describe the cologne based pole. babicz explains that he feels caught between two worlds: >the real world of everyday life and a surreal dream world comparable to the backdrop of a fairy tale.< vinyl comes in three parts, this is the 3nd one..!

new signing on players paradise from hamburg city, two producers who are up and coming in the scene and ready to take over with this mental banger. first one is tensnake who runs his own label mirau musik out of his hometown and got a lot of attention recently by remixing >junior boys<. his partner is suite 9 aka d.i.m. who made some great records on tigas turbo label and had a big hit with >airbus baby< and his cool remix for chromeos last single >fancy footwork<. on the remix job this time our favourite man out of cologne, steve barnes aka cosmic sandwich. he transforms the original into a spaced out 90s house track with his typical driving groove that he developed over the last years in his great releases on traum and my best friend.

this is the first ep on flash recordings that doesnt feature label owners florian meindl and oliver koletzki. but they have made sure to look for a quality replacement. no one else than cologne-based artist daso - renowned for his previous releases on labels like mbf, session deluxe, ghostly and connaisseur - teams up with his buddy pawas to create their first release >night express< on flash. pawas has just had his first record out on adam krolls and markus müllers imprint squonk records and has been a dj for 9 years, moving from india to cologne one year ago. on the a-side daso & pawas foreshadow the summer with the track >tgv<: a beautifully deep melody that swings along a powerful loop. >ice< - the name of germanys high-speed train is clearly more electro-driven. a slightly broken beat with a thumping organic bassline pumps above an ever-changing soundscape that culminates in some euphoric high-pitched synths. never too much, this is a perfect example for elegant understatement. also on the flip side is the track >bummelzug<, which translates as >very slow train< in german. this is a dub-techno masterpiece. deep dubs and arpeggios flow over the simple beats with a great clappy snare drum. dreamy, hypnotic, melodic! flash recordings has just become fit for the summer

"this ep combines different periods of time. oldschool and newschool elements is the key element of a modern production, no matter if its nasa or both legends acquaviva & lützenkirchen to deliver a masterpiece that is functional in every possible way. sirens and oldschool stabs on one side, combined with electronic fierceness and drumming madness. the b-side "hurt me" is more agressive, sawtooth sounds modulating through every spectrum of frequencies. at least one will get your ears bleeding or just the mind blowing if youre lucky enough to survive. cologne based producer pierce gives the >satellite< original a new face with his remix. long synth build ups, reduced drumming and massive compression focus on the basic needs and desires of a rocking dancefloor: to celebrate a break, a melody and to freak out when it starts at zero again"

first single taken from the massive album >a cheerful temper< big with john digweed on radio 1 !! played by john acquaviva, marc romboy, sander kleinenberg, dj fex & martin eyerer >a cheerful temper<, the name of robert babiczs debut album for systematic recordings is arguably the best way to describe the cologne based pole. answering the question why he is choosing this specific name, babicz explains that he feels caught between two worlds: >the real world of everyday life and a surreal dream world comparable to the backdrop of a fairy tale.< vinyl comes in three parts, this is the 1st one

maral salmassi comes up with a purely instrumental record which has been co-produced by the cologne based producer fabian stall. two funky tracks which basslines, old school samples and knarzing rocker synths are taken to pieces, re-arranged again and served with banging beats and monster breaks

his name is rené breitbarth, he s from cologne/germany, living now in berlin, he s quite well known already, of course, and he s been into making music for quite a while now. he also co-founded other labels, but we from neopren are tolerant and like him all the same… we all have to collaborate, other labels are friends and not enemies, and the neopren-records are easy to recognize anyway, thanks to the wonderful artwork! this 007 >graveyard swing< .release consists of two fantastic, pumping minimal tracks. the bassdrums go as deep under your skin as the most expensive bodylotion, the entire bouquet of the tracks is nicely balanced, and an entire basket full of rippling pearly ingredients will make many of you ask yourselves the >wuttisdatsound<- question…

the mistress of melancholic driving club techno returns. mia hasgone to exam and has extended her knowledge of alchemy fundamentally. after the first big throw schwarzweiss – which has reamed out lots of clueless dj’s with its sharp edges – now follows a far more mature album which compiles tracks just as thrilling, to an extremely danceable trip through the abysses of human sensitivities
