the two part makers series is the result of a bourbon fueled studio jam involving four prolific producers, using an array of gear ranging from a modular synth to a farfisa organ. throw in a 6 part saxophone harmony, shake, stir, record and there you have it. makers.

after a few months of releasing collaborative eps alongside sascha rydell and roman lindau, mike dehnert marks a quarter century of releases on his own label with fachwerk 25, a full-length album. comprised of 13 tracks and coming almost a year after his last effort, >framework< on delsin records, this new album sees mike experimenting somewhat. away from the dubbed out, functional and raw techno funk of his usual output, fachwerk 25 shows some concession to the album format, with more mysterious tracks of ambient buried amongst bits of acid, rave and plenty of unhinged sound design.

this release is an official collaboration between wolf+lamb and ubiquity records with a follow up edit of another mike and the censations track by nico in the works to be released in the near future as vol.2 of the mike james kirkland re-edit series.

the 3rd release of casual lab contains one track by mike starr featuring mama and one by riccardo rizza, with great remixes from douglas greed and sven tasnadi.

the mike series returns as a split 12 i nch this go round, featuring mike simonetti (italians do it better) and chris burns. the two have been collaborating and producing music under the ingenious name m+c for a few years now, and chris also worked as engineer on mikes debut record capricorn rising last year. we are hoping to see some sort of m+c release out soon on italians do it better, but in the meantime this will have to suffice. the two each split a side of a record this time, delivering no holds barred, peak hour tracks in the handy house bootleg format. edition of 300 copies. no digital. punks is hippies

truncates 4th release with more raw, energetic warehouse style tracks with remixes from drumcell (droid behavior) and mike gervais (timefog).

coeter one shows two tracks in perfect style of the label. nutempo vinyl records means high-quality of minimal techno. sounds clean, modern and dark. repetitiveness that joins cadenced rhythms, perfect for the dancefloor. never boring and always something unexpected. the remix of >dreesch< signed by veteran mike wall (der hut, aspekt, eins plus, etc.) is decidedly more techno, sounds coming from deep, riffs that seem to remember an old school .. but fresh and strong. the version of >lankow< signed dubit (eminor) is essential and deliberately directed to the dancefloor in the darkest moments.

incl remixes from tornado wallace (instruments of rapture) and alexkid (f-communications)

heavy double pack on peter van hoesens time 2 express label with all star line up that includes donato dozzy, convextion mike parker and peter himself. a limited to 500 copies double pack that comes in a nice gatefold sleeve.. and the first in a series of special releases on time 2 express. oh and the music... dont expect anything less then some of the best techno around!

>hollywood seven< has been a dance floor weapon of mike simonettis dj sets for almost six years. its one of those tracks people come up to the booth & ask about the most. >whats that song about omaha and the hotel?< we are happy to finally answer that question with this essential release. rescued from the depths of dollar bin obscurity. the a-side here was the closing track on mike & johnnys december 2007 cult mix >albuterol<. titled >disconet dilemma< alluding to mike scoring the disconet promo 12 inch while digging in jersey on one sunny afternoon.

comes with free mp3 download codes... italians do it better head honcho mike simonetti got his start in the new york city underground house scene in the late 1980s. as a teenager he promoted parties at the legendary dance club mars. twenty years, countless edits, mixes & dj gigs around the world later, italians do it better is pleased to present mikes first slice of original music. >capricorn rising< is songs for the dance floor & the party after the after party.

its been 2 years since benny rodrigues last release on be as one and since then, the young dutch producer has pushed forward his career, both in the studio and in the dj booth. having remixed people like josh wink, dj pierre, justice, spirit catcher to name just some and released on ovum, poker flat, figure, klockworks, with a busy dj schedule in clubs as berghain or rex, at his young age benny is clearly a well respected artist. benny rodrigues interpretation of acid house takes the form of i like acid, and surely it sounds classic! acid synth madness like in the old days but with an updated touch to rock the floors in 2011. choice hypnotic appeal will not get unnoticed on the floor, once again a track that finds its strenght in the basic structure of its arrangement, effective drums patterns with a freakish top line that carry the track into peak time. steve rachmad remixes as sterac are always a treat, and here the techno legend doesnt fail to impress once again with his take on bennys i like acid. snares, hi-hats, rides and bass, all arranged to build up to a melodic and emotional breakthru, dancefloor bliss for the detroit techno heads. to close this amazing package, germanys own mike dehnert brings his trademark sound to be as one in the form of his remix of i like acid. a tune that finds its perfect habitat in dark, smokey and sweaty rooms with massive sound systems.

first on decks.de! limited white coloured vinyl.
aspekt strikes back with their actually release. the new great 4 track ep >good things< by mike wall & ixel, contrast itself with a great and special minimal sound. >inicio< on side a sounds tempting and mysterious, minimal-house with a touch of deep. the remix by alex q & match hoffman is an excellent deephouse number mixed with minimal accents, which animate to dance. with >undromeada< and its marcio kantana remix the listener can expect great tech-house with playful melodic sounds with which you cant sit still to. awesome record for the dancefloors!

first 12 inch in an exciting new series from all city - >collabs< joins the labels favorite musical minds together, and this first killer pairing of martyn (3024/techtonic)& mike slott (all city / lucky me) is a hell of a way to kick things off

inspired by the stripped back technical set-ups of yesteryear, mike monday and will saul present the sequence 1 ep, the product of the two artists limiting themselves to a roland 909, a korg kaos pad, a dave smith polyevolver and recording their jamming on the fly. >we wanted to inject some excitement, energy and randomness into this release, so decided to play the tracks live with mike on the 909 and keys and will on filters and effects. we had a broad idea of where we were going before we pressed record, and recorded a few takes of each track, then took the best moments from each. the big challenge was reining in the slightly chaotic recordings, but after some tweaking we found a balance between old school rawness and modern production values.<

heavy stripped down killer berlin flavoured techno tracks berghain style! mr dehnert is slowly but steadily building a reputation as one of berlin s top techno producers!. after his massive release on clone things went up quickly with fachwerk label nights at berghain, shows at big festivals such as nature one, upcoming releases on deeply rooted house and clone, licenses by francois k, osunlade, the hyped md2 releases etc. not a bad start of 2010! fachwerk however will always be his home with uncompromising tracks that are designed for the dancefloor. big one!

italians do it better owner/traveling dj salesman/heavy record collector mike simonetti takes an edit to three very obscure 90s house tracks. we were able to recognize the a-side with some help. the track was altered significantly and intro extends and builds and builds and builds... the two tracks on the b-side sound like 90s japanese piano house and a happy house rave track flipped on 33 but to be honest, we have no idea what they are.

second release with stacy kidd & mike dixon for chicago party time. after the success of the first release…this brilliant uk, label continue with a solid ep in the old house swing

1994 one of the best piano loops ever used in a house record with funky bassline and great earthy spoken vocals to create one of the all time great house track 2005 reissue!!

the upper austrian youngster has been addicted to electronic music since his early youth. after experimenting with different kinds of music he was fascinated from techno and house music and decided to buy his own dj equipment. through his outstanding talent in mixing records it didn t take him much time to be booked to local clubs and festivals. due to his unmistakable style of djing he attracted the crowd and found his own place in the austrian house- and techno scene. after his successful start as dj he started being interested in producing. at the moment he is expanding his international career and producer skills with the music association >elmart - electronic music art<. in october 2008, his stunning remix of chris eckers >when they say hello< was released on the german label >resourced music<. a month later, mike absolom released his first vinyl single >from absolom to heaven< on >elmart<. in 2009, he did several remix projects for mike turrentos >tele commander< on >elmart<, stefano vozzas title 2 on the irish label >dublin xpress records< and rob glennon on >nice &nd nasty records< with other remixers like orlando voorn, paul mac and many more

cynosure flag ship artist and label navigator mike shannon reaches into his archives and selects the much-anticipated “the box ep.” “the box is open” was always a highlight of many of mr.shannon’s dj sessions and live acts. this cut delivers nostalgic, old school of detroit, soulful, techno jack. a ton to digest there but there really is no other way to sum it up. adam marshall graces the ep with a stormer of a remix. taking things a step further, adam really explores a different use of the chords given to you in the original. a smooth kicking set of drums and ever elevating sequences of synth keep you on your toes never really knowing exactly when things will drop. definitely a production trait that adam is best known for and it never fails on the floor. howie mangel

early support finds favour with laurent garnier, claude von stroke, ralph lawson, mark knight and deep dish&#146,s sharam. it&#146,s been a while since we last heard from mike monday &#150, almost two years, to be exact when he delivered smorgasbord, which won numerous accolades and superlatives in the dance press. lauded as album of the month in i-dj, while dj mag called it a lp we just can&#146,t put down, others jump on board and claim it as a future classic. now signed to san francisco&#146,s om records label, the man who never fails to impress, educate and entertain is back. >the 11 11<&#146,(no, we&#146,re not sure what it means, either) is backed with the equally oddball titled &#145,>hello nest<. regardless, it&#146,s another terrific house offering that pairs dubbed-out beats with techno-tinged melodies to create a modern day jackin&#146,sound. the addition of a driving synth-line only helps this swing, shake&#145,n&#146,rattle in all the right places over a dirty-as-hell bassline. anything but what we&#146,ve come to usually expect from the label, the sund is an equally refreshing break from convention for om, and is taken from the upcoming album, songs without words&#146,by monday

played by anja schneider , tiefschwarz ... voodeux is the deep techno moniker of tanner ross & kilowatts (from dirtybird.) on >the curse< ross & watts expand their catalog of sound beyond the funk and into the sublime. instead of swiggles and bounce, we get creeping basslines and chilling echoes. with >thriller< as a distant relative, side a1 makes for the graveyard, zombies in tow, and as the track matures, so do the chills on the back of your spine. >the spell< goes one step further, taking the sound of a distant train, shards of ghoulsound and an ancient wind under a pulsing beat and chiming melodies. its halloween on wax. mike shannon, founder of cynosure and master of all things trippy, puts his own well-crafted stamp on this dark sound. shannon has recorded for ~scape, force inc. and many more. and no ones gonna save you from the beats about strike

a stunning 3 track single, in the vein of classic planet e, basic channel and 3 chairs productions. a fruitful venture into the crossing zone of deep house, techno and dub

dj support : jennifer cardini, shinedoe, tobi neumann!! 8bit rojo on side a is a hard dirty groover. starting off as a straight up jacker that over a three minute progression turns into a heavy peak time cut. with a low rez processing throughout the percussion and overdriven subs the name of the game of this track is dirtyness. bouncing underneath the dirt is a slick gliding bass line that slides down from 100hz to 40hz. sure to work the dancefloor from peak time to down time. the b side red tide is a deep headstrong slow builder that elevates like an induced acid frenzy. massive funky techno
