every new record from mlz doesnt quite fit in with the one that preceded it, something thats doubly true for this new release.
>one cycle< on the a-side is probably the most fierce, stripped and relentless thing ever released by modern love, a classic reduction that rotates into a frenzied crescendo of panning stabs and a washed out, chugging backbone that doesnt let-up throughout its 7 minute duration.
the flipside offers up something else entirely, a remix for hitherto unknown operator dj ghosthunter, a shady character not quite ready to unmask himself. mlzs remix offers a dank and obliterated house configuration, guided by the spirit of theo parrish and kdj.

permanent vacation are delighted to bring you the second chapter of the first space oddities saga compiled by alexis le-tan (music journalist and member of the tigersushi bass system) and jess (formerly of the famed french house duo jess & crabbe and now drummer for punk band 10lec6). the pair met in 2001 through a mutual love of no-wave and leftfield disco. in 2003 jess came upon a big collection of library music, which he bought for next to nothing. whilst he was ciphering through it and finding the most interesting extracts, alexis was digging in all things cosmic, where along the way he also started to pick up many bits and pieces of obscure mood musics. in 2007, they put together some of their best space disco treasures giving birth to the highly acclaimed space oddities project released last july. as the first episode of space oddities was reaching to an end and following the amazing feedback they received, the parisian duo started working on the next volume in the heat of 2008’s sunny days. a new direction was chosen: more organic, guitar lead and psychedelic than the previous one, still focusing on the dancefloor and their love for freaky synths and fierce beats.

tommy four seven returns for the fifth release on his deep techno imprint, shooting elvis. london townis typical of tommy, deep, dark and hypnotic using repetitive locked drones marching to a fierce groove and sharp percussion. early support from chris liebing, joel mull, hernan cattaneo, mark-henning, perc, darko esser, pheek, xpansul, sebastian roya, dave shokh.

passionate, uncompromising, resolutely underground. a few words to describe the work and career to date of swedens finest real techno exponent, grovskopa. masterminding two high-calibre labels with frequent appearances on other imprints of repute, whilst giving a voice to the techno community through the nursery forum, he is clearly one of the harder working producers around. >make tomorrow< is the next chapter in his tale for the label, following the hotly anticipated and well received prologue of sect 2. >atopic< creates dense and intimate atmospheres, overlaid with a reflective, introspective key structure, culminating in the most poignant & moving of melodic sequences. >skinstrumental< bridges the void between tracks, speaks of the space between stars as our minds turn to thoughts of galaxies and nebulae, the spirit of detroit radiating like a supernova.>the fierce hug< completes the aural triptych, by contrast offering a more upbeat, playful yet no less desirable option for the more creatively diverse techno mix

with a plethora of well received releases on labels including creative source, exit records, dnaudio, quarantine, critical and shogun audio, survival?s deep, organic sound has rapidly earned him a reputation as one of the true craftsmen of modern drum & bass. collaborations with d-bridge, break, silent witness, fierce, sabre, chris inperspective and zero tolerance clearly illustrate the respect he commands from his peers.

legendary sub club resident harri, teams up with fellow glaswegians and justifiably hyped producers the revenge to cook up this stripped back and relentless raw house joint. already a massive cut for a select few djs serviced well upfront, this track has cropped up on more than a few most wanted lists. its thundering main hook driven along with fierce percussion and a simmering tension that seems set to boil over never fails. the dub mix swaps the ferocious claps for a haunting bell tone, paving the way for a tripped out excursion 20.000 leagues under. vera completes the 12inch with her hypnotising tribal groove punctuated with rising synths that offers a lighter, brighter take on the original.

the criminally infectious followup to fire is a mix of disco, electro, italo funk and more and comes with remixes from the juan maclean, bottin, and frances outrunners. the original version from the fierce and funky 4 piece (who rocked it at sxsw) is also included.

autonation s sit on the bass was released on esteemed label r&s , 18 years ago in 1991.. (shit! was it really 18 years ago??)
autonation kindly agreed to a re-release two years ago after a meeting in a pub in ladbroke grove. sit on the bass has been a mainstay of label boss jerome hill s sets since it s release all those years ago and still sounds relevent and rocks crowds today.
autonation is none other than seasoned producer dave campbell who over the years has released a vast body of techno, drum n bass, and ambient music under the aliases kibu, hiryze, xtro, greenback and of course autonation on labels such as rising high, certificate 18, r&s, cue and guy called gerald s juicebox.
its an absolute techno classic, but not one of the obvious ones that get rolled out for every old skool back to the 90 s set.. so get on board and be in the know before everyone gets on it!!
jerome hill steps up for the remix on the b-side utilising some fierce rumbling sub bass and keeping the energy levels on 11 for the dancefloor..
this release has been cut super loud and is the first 2-tracker on don t for just this reason.

first single from the forthcoming izmo album æearly night. izmo is a young frenchman born in 1984 in paris. he was discovered by harley&muscle a few years back when he tried to get in touch with them.. he started making music at the age of 15 years old , strongly influenced by the ambient and electronica music coming from uk and germany. as years passed by, his frequent holidays in englands midlands led him to discover various club scenes with the 4 to the floor spirit.. from hard stuff to funky and mellow music , izmo was soon found searching for a sound that was calling him... years passed by and izmo is now deep into house music where he finally found his roots in the 90s house music vibe from new jersey , chicago , detroit , england and france. may it be true garage or deep house, the groove, spirit and energy of this period has touched him deep inside and he is now a fierce defender of what he calls true school house music as opposed to old school or new school: i hate when people say that this sounds old school and that style sounds old or whatever...for me, a vibe is timeless ... izmo is also a deep techno head and all sorts of raw dance music.. watch out for his deep jacker and brawther aliases in the future... in summer 2007, izmo releases his first e.p. as a 12 inch on french label 9ts records, and gets a very good response, support and plays by legendary tony humphries... disguised as a tribute to smack productions , his where is eddie e.p. touched people from all different scenes, from deep house to uk garageà in 2008 , he will release his first full length album on little angel records, 14 tracks of strictly deep house music of different moods and atmospheres. izmo is thirsty and he will keep on trying to better his music for the pleasure of the real house heads. keep it underground ! support from laurent garnier, gorge, scope, osunlade, rocco, jay tripwire, dj rork, marlon d, dj dealer & more

after a period of silence the mighty adult records returns with a brand new release by two familiar faces to the label. back in 2005 veztax did the very first adult release together with marko nastic. a first release that was the start of the adult success story! now he s back with the this weekend track which gets the remix treatment by techno don paul mac! miche made name for himself as one part of the infamous miche & mirzinho duo who got picked up by the adult crew quite early in their carreers. now miche is back on the solo tip with two fierce and essential techno tunes!

clone v2.0! clone back in its new form.. a series of specialized series dedicated to different functionalities, emotions and styles of electronic music. the clone loft series will be releasing more traditional house and ny influenced disco for the smaller and more intimate club settings. first of reggie dokes with probably his best release so far! a-side is a dirty but massive house track that goes down very well in any house set! at first notice this might be the main track... which most likely it is for more peak-time use... but actually our favorite is the fierce i wear the mask track on the flipside. this track has a nice jumpy beat, very light... but such a balanced rhythm that it will grab one for sure. on top it has layers of strings and a bouncy bassline and very staccato keys... and everything is so well balanced, so sensitive that it really gives us goosebumps all over! it reminds even to some derrick may tracks where he managed to make his songs emotional and fragile with the same kind of timbre and hidden energy (but then less 909 orientated and such...) it has that force, that gentle force of magic that frees that inner energy, that inner power that makes you wanna dance. what a stunning track and what a strong release by mr dokes. essential!

this is the tune for getting spiced on the dancefloor! no more boring klicks and klacks, time for energy again, that s what alex must have felt when treating his gear in the studio while processing these two outstanding tracks. really remarkable techno again from alex bau, just as we are used to it and know from him for quite some time now. the tracks appear in a moderate design of sounds, avoiding to harsh and hard action, but the fierce leadsoud of wasabi tune vol 1 will surely make everybody moving, just as the usual suspects playing it already: stephan bodzin, liebing, technasia, perc, gary beck, florian meindl, mihalis safras, mr. beyer and many more. very very big tune! must have for this summer!

new workidz, finally! hard hitting, unleashing a fierce spin cycle of tough skipping beats, searing bass and a drawn out drop that will pulverise your dancefloor!

brawther is a young frenchman from paris. this deephouse producer found his roots in the 90s house music vibe from new jersey, chicago, detroit, england and france. may it be true garage or deep house, the groove, spirit and energy of this period has touched him deep inside and he is now a fierce defender of what he calls true school house music as opposed to oldschool or new school: i hate when people say that this sounds old school and that style sounds old or whatever... for me, a vibe is timeless... in summer 2007, brawther releases his first e.p. under the name izmo as a 12inch on french label 9ts records, and response was great, supported and played by legendary tony humphries... disguised as a tribute to smack productions, his where is eddie e.p. touched people from all different scenes, from deep house to uk garage?

featuring 2 tracks that encompass search & destroys hard yet musical ethos to a tee: musicality and emotion, yet dancefloor friendly. blue mantra: soaked all the way through with a beautifully sullen orchestral riff and a lush string arrangement that drops into a snaking halfstep break, swirling arpeggio?s and a moving brick wall of sub that bounces along with fierce purpose.

belgiums number one techno dj marco bailey is turning 50! well no, not really, his label is! mb elektronics is now at its mythical 50th release, a good reason for a fierce party! joining in are pig & dan (cocoon), nic fanciulli (saved), filterheadz (intec) and davy dee & danny rodriguez (mb elektronics). congrats marco!!! this packages comes on a nice golden vinyl! tiefschwarz: pig&dan mix is cool!

created as the main vehicle for delivering paolo mojo productions, oosh was one of the labels of 2008. championed consistently by pete tong on radio 1, including an essential new tune and essential mix this year, paolo mojos production profile has risen spectacularly, gaining momentum on the back of nightlaw, brooksong, the dancer, sirena, interstellar and home having broken new ground on previous ep (deus ex machina / que loucura de som) with a fierce technoinspired sound that received support from felix the housecat, joey beltram, marco bailey and justin robertson, oosh moves on to a round dozen with two more peak-time tracks.

quadrants citrus saga continues with another high quality release packaged in yet another mesk sleeve thats just to heavy to be true. the 12 kicks off with built for war... and this title isnt lying one bit, filthy reeces rampage over this stomping beat, the quality just ooses off it. quadrant delivers! the flip holds mascara, this one has neuro written all over it. hear the quality, the funk, the power this dancefloor killer is one for the people who cant get enough of, optiv, noisia, fierce, break, silent witness and all of the other neuroheads...

part 3, from the vinyl version of pooleys latest album >in other words< . no other than pooleys buddy derrick carter is in charge on this one. the original is an 80s inspired deep house track featuring the great tim fuller on the vocals . carter turns it into a fierce chicago jam by cuttting up vocals and adding heavy synths...

just in time for summer (in the southern hemisphere of course!) is latin impressions vol. 5 (the highly anticipated and latest in the series and the prelude to the long awaited and soon to be released latin impressions album). latin impressions vol. 5 is not your average latin house release and will take you on a journey into the many different flavours of latin dance music. first up are victor simonelli and vince sortino with cumbiana, a deeply storming track featuring great horns alongside a jazzy piano which creates an totally infectious vibe. next is espiritu xeneize by victor simonelli featuring a wonderful accordian over a smooth, laidback groove. raf n souls latin expression is a live precussion session that is simple, effective and mesmerizing. finally we have samba party by graeme park & nick hussey, which is an uplifting affair featuring graemes saxophones and nicks keys over a deep, fierce samba flavoured groove.

nice price deal !!! this record is the finale in the three part 12 inch single project from brooklyns free blood. first up is the club friendly parangatang. broken house beats with increasingly hectic vibes are accompanied by an old time piano melody as the duo continues their onslaught of head scratchingly unique pop singles that maintain a fierce rhythmic consistency. the original is followed by tummy touch records tim love lees remix. lee strips away all but the essentials and adds a heady analog synth melody in place of most of the vocals, creating a proper dance dub version.

after their robot-pop hit with eurostar sebastien tellier, principles of geometry weirdo beardos come back with a new version of interstate highway system. then poni hoax deliver their first official remix, putting their hands on the fierce and epic prophet. but the most epic of all tracks on this ep is certainly eat s remix of golem. eat comes from berlin where they released a few >extra-ordinary< eps on their diamonds & pearls inprint, occasionally releasing tracks by their friends henrik schwarz or ricardo villalobos. think the globins meets lindström meets carl craig. last but not least, young frenchies fieldtripq made an oldschool electronica mix of colfax, close to early autechre stuff.

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...
