2008 saw thomass busiest, and most successful year to date. having caught the ear of bpitch control boss ellen allien, february saw him release >ride on< on the label. >seduction< followed in june and july saw him rework ellens superb >out<. 2009 looks set for more of the same, and has lunched in the finest fashion with his third bpitch control release, januarys >somewhere around tristram< alongside quartz label manager and artist okain. which, brings us to todays release >offone<. three intelligently crafted and dazzlingly effective techno cuts, >offone<, >arp< and >watch yourself<, make this a serious contender for best techno release of the year to date. dark at times, brutal at others, yet all featuring a constant spine of parisian funk.

big support from: gregor tresher, loco dice, sebo k, nick curly, 2000andone, mirko loco and agnes.... tsuba starts 2009 with a bang with the first 12inch release on the label from rising star okain. having debuted on tsuba in july 2008 on the digital only >tsuba samurai ep<, sam okain steps up with his first full release for the label and its a big one. the original of >717< is deep tech house with a killer groove and a warm tripped out riff - a great combination of light and dark touches which results in an edgy but very accessible track. for the remix djulz ups the tempo and adds a splash of techno, spine tingling keys and jacking bassline. loco dice featured the mix on his recent radio 1 essential mix. the deep house of >slow ride< completes an ep of the highest quality. + huge djulz remix.

get digital is off to a blazing start after the release of the mini hit >kaskazi< from simon baker and jamie jones and the well received travelling the world ep from the fresh and talented mac neumann. now we are proud to invite the veteran thomas schumacher who has produced with elektrochemie & dj t. and recorded for legendary labels such as bush, gigolo, get physical and his own spielzeug schallplatten. schumacher is a true producers producer and we are sure these two distinctive orchestrations are sure to love up the dance every time. >hot< is something that would come to mind if one heard the word >picanha<, in passing. and without a doubt the main track >picanha< is hotter than a stolen jalapeño in july. precisely layered percussion, meticulously situated effects and drums tuned with minutiae detail are the backbone of this track, but the groove comes courtesy of the schumacher brass orchestra.

they dont come very often but releases on shack music are always well worth the wait. label boss soy mustafa and alex cellar (cocoon) combine under their kemistry moniker which you will know well for their superb releases on ben watts ultra cool buzzin fly imprint. head noddin house music with throbbing acidic bassline on the flip lifted by delightful dubbed out piano, this is a must have for anyone even vaguely serious about hi-tech house

steve kotey needs little introduction, head honcho of bear entertainment, an accomplished producer and a member of chicken lips. kotey is joined on this record by max essa. having previously released on paper recordings back in 2001 max also played guitar with the infamous, long distance runners. steve & max have delivered 3 beautiful records in the shape of the salon de l herbe series. this ep offers up everything good that is disco from the up tempo 1974 a side to the spaced out vibes of 1988. if that wasnt enough this 12inch release is finished off with a 3 rd track 1981 on the cosmic/balearic tip. the years may become confusing but with live drums, guitars and slick arrangement words cant do these productions justice. more to come from these two with a follow up in the salon de l herbe series dueto be released in june/july 08, exciting stuff!

the only time you wear a tuxedo is when its time to party. so says legendary west coast player snoop dogg on the opening track of tuxedo ii. the blessing of the doggfather is of special importance to mayer hawthorne and jake one, whose second album as a duo finds them at the forefront of a new wave of gangster boogie one that owes as much to g-funk as p-funk. this is the territory of pre- and post-hydraulic low riders: a m�lange of cali boom-bap, analog synth bass and elegant disco that resonates truth and authenticity in an era where so many are faking the funk
