excellent deep slo mo house / disco journey...

following steffis debut long-player >yours & mine<, the story continues with three special remixes, each re-interpreting a key track, courtesy of staffan lindberg, lone and the analogue cops. swedish newcomer staffan lindberg, already promoter and dj on the malmö/stockholm scene, is a recent favourite of steffi for his tracky, fresh house sound. this hypnotic, rave- tinged mix of >yours< weaves an intricate tale for the dancefloor - nothing is rushed as the classic elements have so much room to shine in his fluid arrangement. recent r&s signing lone is becoming well known for his warbling strings, wandering melodies and glissening old school flavours. this remix is no exception and sees him work the chicago-vibed >arms< into a magical cosmic future-acid trip. berlin based duo the analogue cops aka marieu and lucretio have brought the house down many a time with their stomping live shows in the capitals clubs and warehouses. their pumping remix of >you own my mind< is tight, middly and uncompromising - a perfect example of the rough, tripped-out house vibe they live and breathe.

parallel to the release of his album >selected works techno< ananda starts on basmati his live series. published here are the tracks which have been established on the floors during his recent live sets. the tracks hold almost forgotten practice to deceive an audience: occasional imprecision is a stylistic device, the post production was skipped, unpolished rough edges remain. live series vol.1 is coming with the tracks >alpha< and >smash<. this year at least 3 more releases of this series will appear on basmati.

ramona loves roman. roman loves ramona. the two just cant help it. naturally, the desperate housemen ep is his second 12-inch effort for live at robert johnson and a showcase of his versatility. like a crosspollination of his efforts as solyent green, roman iv or under his original name, you get four distillates of house music, cold wave and frankfurt-style electro-funk. distinctive, sparkling, 4x4 and paying attention to detail, this is like an update of the unpredictability that once made a nu groove record so exciting, fresh and not desperate at all. truly romantic!

there is always an air of excitement in the office when the new dissonant drops with us. it may only be on its third release but marc antonas wonderfully fresh new imprint is making waves, and for all the right reasons. theres no relentless pr entertaining, popular genre chasing or laptop-loving >live< collectives here. no fuss, no bluster, just incredible music.

svetec from hungary and sepromatiq from slovakia teaming up to bring you one banging hard techno album! words simple cant describe this piece of madness. their message for the future is simple. we are all going to die.

atas volume of the >life at robert johnson< mix-cd series wouldnt be complete with out a 12-inch. here you get two of the most extraordinary songs and mysterious corkers of his outstanding compilation. ramonaäs main man picked grauzone with >raum< and zwischenfalls >flucht< for this special plate. as this wouldnt be a treat in itself already, ata extended the pop arrangement of >raum< into an almost 8 minute long powerful ballroom blitz edit for all you new wavers and old romantics. always remember: the future was already yesterday, but the good times are always now

expanded double vinyl edition, 180 gr audiophile pressing, incling 12-page full colour booklet.

the process of receiving and listening to demos is akin to the proverbial needle in a haystack - poorly labeled cd’s or mp3’s are handed out indiscriminately like flyers for strip clubs in times square (circa 1970). “i really think you are going to like this,” or “all nude girls,” and “dj ‘x’ played this at space,” or “24 hours live sex show…!!” but in the end, just like the harsh reality of a stripper in daylight, the demos fall well short of anything mildly interesting and certainly nothing you would bring home to mom… until madato… from the first group of tracks he sent it was clear that a nice guy from naples had sent us the needle we had been looking for. “naples may not be a place one would consider to be particularly inspiring, from its outside appearance, chaos, and plenty of junk on the streets - it takes a deeper gaze, beyond, and into madato’s dream world. madato is always looking at what’s beyond the waste. inside his dream box you might find laura palmer making out with ian curtis, charles bukowski writing a fairy tale, or perhaps john nash singing along to bauhaus songs…” file under: trippy disco inspired dance music, not defined by a genre but more of an attitude. post-punk undertones mixed with psychedelic sensibility

gorgeous deep soulful house from wipe the needle

northamptons finest drops 4 cuts of filthy breakbeat for pure filth.

mit der veröffentlichung der neuen blackfoxmusic gehen für den lüneburger hans schultz nun gleich zwei langersehnte träume in erfüllung: zum einen, nach unzähligen digitalen releases, das erste schwarze gold und zum anderen ein remix seines großen idols dj dag. die auf dieser ep enthaltenen stücke sind alle techno, so wie man ihn immer kannte: stramm nach vorne marschierende kick-drums mit wild blubbernden basslines und ohne viel schnickschnack. nicht nur durch seine zahlreichen live-acts in diversen clubs und als labelhead von starcake records hat er genau verstanden, was funktionelle dance-musik bedeutet und zeigt dies auch kompromisslos auf diesem release.

over the course of nine albums in the 2000s for their producer-led beat generation series, bbe adopted an unusual stance. >do what you want<, their artists were told for probably the first time in their careers. the labels enormously liberal approach was the antithesis of stiff major record label a&r practices, their forward thinking rewarded handsomely by a truly diverse set of albums from some of the worlds most capable hip-hop architects.

>the face of the planet< is the opening track and first single of the subs freshly squeezed full album decontrol that will be released on lektroluv end of march. the subs give you an anthem. a hymn. some people will recognize this track from the notorious subs live shows, but be prepared for a new version that sounds fresh like a happy polar bear. optimistic yet melancholic. old but new. punchy and sexy. the new subs have arrived!
accompanied by banging remixes by style of eye, tai & gtronic this makes an amazing package.
plays by crookers, steve aoki, dr. lektroluv, don rimini, proxy, nt89, hey today, dj manaia, mixhell etc ...

b.h.f.v is the collaborative effort of arto mwambes cb funk and the live at robert johnson label manager oliver hafenbauer. originating from a cross-pollination of graffiti, train stations, red light districts and frankfurts club music roots, et 01 and et 06 are both all that those x-men and egyptian lovers ever wanted. two tracks, one sound. blueeyed electro-funk with sharp snares, jeep-boomin bass and haunting melody lines. retro fascists beware! this aint a historically correct or nerdy carbon copy, but a blast from the futures past. fresh as champagne morning dew. hip hop be bop.

massive dream team of erick morillo / eddie thoneick ft the vocals of shawnee taylor. mixes from dirty freek & chuckie.

vibrations 002 comes from lhas, aka jaime read, who is here to show all these new old-school house heads precisely where to step off. a longtime cohort of foolish felix, who was horribly ripped off by a chicago legend (just google it) and the man to go to when you want _that_ vintage synth sound spotted, jaime knocks out four tracks that arent retro – they are timeless. from the classic chi-jack of >learning to live< to the swirling syncopation of >call that jazz<, these four tracks eschew rigid programming and live, breathe and ooze musicality. no remixes, just 100% lhas.

recorded in the winter/spring of 2009, first released in june 2009. at the time i called it my failed kompakt techno experiment, i started out with that minimal beat in mind but ended with something different. the title was the first thing i started with after watching some miss helen mirror on tv at the period, still love the title really. songs became longer and i discovered the delay while recording. this second record was the first one were i started settling on an sound of my own. some weeks after recording the screaming girls on the last track during their sunday afternoon youth group activity a baby fetus was found on their field with the mother being one of the girls

the first release for consequence and joe sevens new alias they live is on dbridge & instra:mentals autonomic label. creeping in with a slightly haunting melody and sparse drums, >pure palms< starts off with little indication of where the track might lead, it feels as though it could go in any direction. as it slowly builds, the warmth and weight û and deep-set rhythms û that consequence is known for begin settling, and open up to an evocative, widescreen track of immense beauty.

limited backstock on this 1994 nick jones classic!

incl live mix by ataneus! and again the ostwind crew welcome a new artist on their sub label ostwind limited. sandru lives in cologne and raised with music as a son of a bassist. he played drums and piano in his childhood and made the first steps with techno at the age of 15. now the 24 years old sandru releasing his first track called >late night stories<. raw minimal beats und clicks, combined with a dirty rolling bass and a building hookline will give you some warmness in these winter days. a good start by sandru and we looking forward to his next releases on ostwind. to make this record perfect we have two pretty tracks from our friend from sofia, ataneus. well known for his productions on ostwind, subotnik and ackerdub, ataneus shows again his talent for emotional and very deep going stuff. en echolon and spectral class have this typical warm bass and arrangements from ataneus. forward groovin techhouse styled up with markant pinpointed melodies. also music to fuse the ice from the house top oft he club.

to kick-start the fina campaign we literally hunted high and low to find an artist and sound that we felt would represent us and give a statement of intent. what we didnt expect was for this search to take us south of the equator and into to the deep southern hemisphere. this is not the first place that you would expect to hear warm, deep underground house but this is exactly what you get with the melbourne based mic newman. and thinking about it, it doesnt get warmer or deeper than melbourne does it? mic is a young producer who we believe is destined for greatness. at the age of 29, hes already had a string of underground smashes on labels such as murmur, tsuba, dirt crew, freerange, and now for fina records. the intriguingly named live east, die young ep (mic riffing on his time spent living in london) sees what mic doing what he does best and demonstrates why his future is so bright. on die young, the tougher a-side, mic keeps the beats solid, and the groove tight and hypnotic, while the smooth chord stabs get right under your skin. prolonged foot tapping ensues. on the flip side, live east, mic takes it a little deeper with ever so subtle disco touches. the vocal sample asks what your name is and to take off your jacket as if to welcome you to a very messy after hours on this mcde-esque low-slung house groove. on remix duty, the on-form jacques renault and marcos cabral aka runaway, lift the track out of the south hemisphere and take it in a north easterly direction all the way to the caribbean – adding plenty of steel drums and pads on their interpretation of live east

the power of lauer is indisputable. blessed with the uncanny ability to make hooks that would make bone thugs-n-harmony jealous in their heyday, phillip lauer is – pardon us – the melody man. his newest tour de force comes in two parts for our beloved live at robert johnson label. similar sounding to the legendary harmonizer (as if you would care), h.r. boss is new- romantic -italo -not -italowave that puts love on top of love (i.e. the aforementioned melodies). wouldnt sound out of place in sophie marceaus notorious la boum walkman. forbidden fruit is the sweetest. a little less full-bodied, yet as disarming, banned goes straight ahead with its ripply bass line, wheezing strings, a killer arrangement that completely deserves the tracks name plus a groove that wont stop. feels like delta nrgs filthy little brother. delectable! put on your red shoes

this may seem like an unusual signing for claremont 56, but this is about as balearic as it gets. mudd builds up from the drums into the live bass ...

>dance to the music< recalls the vitalic spirit of yesteryear, laced with smoking disco loops, rubberband basslines and a cajoling vocal hook that sounds so bright you would swear it was crafted with pure sunshine. the dub reveals a sexy bassline and those signature soularis beats. on the flip the boys dish up a a slice of deep house pie with high noon, dedicated to that green, sticky substance. mellow chords and marijuana endorsing samples make this song the perfect way to start off your mix-tapes and live gigs. the chill-out mix is a beautiful 7 minute smokers delight, complete with spine-tingling strings and downtempo rhythms which will leave you more horizontal than a few perkies and some choice lager.
