yore returns with yet another deep master piece. javier alvarez, a madrid based producer and proprietor (along with his younger brother dubbyman) of the underground label deep explorer music, brings his relaxed above smoke sound to the yore imprint. in the first of four warm and atmospheric mood pieces, awfully drapes dense synthetic winds over a deliciously grooving, bass prodded deep house pulse. get down does exactly that with five funky minutes of rhodes chords, disco hi hats, and synth swirls, a percolating bass line lends the track a propulsive charge, while crowd voices give the cut a party vibe. on the b sideÆs ôthe fixö javier scatters chopped fragments of the spoken line, i ve got a lot of shit to say and i cant say it all in one day, i cant say it all on one piece of tape, over a funk house groove, after which dubbyman offers variations on the theme in his remix of the track, dubbymans version digs deeper into the cuts bass science and warms the tunes slinky pulse with hand percussion and claps. old school in its embrace of classic house sounds, above smokes ep is tailor made for those who like their material laid back, groove centered, and funky.

this is quenums first release on clapper!
a side: cargo
this track is techno with a touch of old school, but decidedly modern, not nostalgic. it s built on a groovy techno rhythm that quenum knows to do so well, with a recurring agitative sound that takes you one level higher. the earthy music, rooted by the feet in the ground, grabs the hips.
b side: ouidah
welcome to west africa and the port city of ouidah, home of the quenum clan. this track is classic quenum, clear-headed techno influenced by african rhythm, hypnotic percussions and inimitable touches that add warmth to the sober mix. this one is for the head, but without letting go of the hips.
dachshund and quenum will alternate their work on each release, so look out for the upcoming clapper 003 by dachshund. in the meantime, check out this track and enjoy the show!

it was only a short time ago when these 2 young up and comers made their respective debuts on our label and in the few months between then and now, they have gone on to skyrocket up through the ranks, conquering dancefloors, charts and dj crates-while becoming household names synonymous with quality and consistency.
florian kruse and nils nürnberg need very little introduction these days but for those that have been asleep or living under a rock, a good start would be to check their recent output on fine labels such as nrk, om, moodmusic, dessous and our very own dieb, to name a very select few. their first combined effort on the label has resulted in the >suerte ep<, a tight collection of deep as hell, tech infused house numbers heavily characterized by their attention to groove and addictive, seductive chord progressions that have become a hallmark of their production prowess.
to add some spice to an already sterling and stylized package, we have enlisted our good friend (and also mood music alumnus) alexander maier, to remix the titular >suerte< where he adds his considerable musical vocabulary to the proceedings, peppering a very tasty arrangement with piano chord stabs and throbbing basslines resulting in a gorgeous, summery house re-interpretation that has to be heard to be believed!
as if this werent enough, fresh from an impressive debut on nils and florians save room records we have been lucky enough to secure a percussion led, funk infused remix of >achieving balance< from bright new boys on the block io who round things off nicely and add another dimension to the >suerte ep<.

full artwork custom sleeves. n types label is on a roll right now and 003 sees a massive release from budapest based dj/producer matt u who is nothing less than a tune making machine. armed with a seriously heavy deep and techy based sound, matyas szalai has made a name for himself releasing hard and heavy drum & bass for labels as renowned as the legendary moving shadow, timeless and cylon. with over 34 releases to his name since 2004, this is one producer you should be keeping an eye on. his music encapsulates many genres of music, from drum & bass to dubstep, but all with that matt u sound running throughout. recently his dubstep tracks have been getting plenty of attention from djs such as n type, trg, luke envoy, tes la rok and many more. look out for his releases forthcoming on subway, boka and true tiger.

this classic and legendary track from 79 belongs to the very origins of techno. it has been sampled by djs but was >impossible to find on vinyl<, now this finally changed! the track is back on vinyl and even includes some new remixes. danton eeproms remix a real club monster, and terence fixmer remix with an unexpected groovy mood sound, changing suddenly into a dark deep track. crash course in science have also reworked this year their own original mix and now deliver us a new version, that prove us that they are not out of date, but still remain the real brain of sounds, that for many artists has been the core influence of techno.

following the great international success of glitterbugs album >supershelter<, everyone has been curious to hear what this unique and unmatched producer will bring us next. and truth is, there is a lot! glitterbug has been working on piles of new enchanting materials, tracks, projects and remixes.
as a first release in a series that will lead to his next (double cd) album, is the >dim flares ep<: a dream-like, intense and deep moody ep that carries that very special glitterbug sound to a whole new level, touching on deep emotional techno with a utopian 4/4 perspective.
this beautiful ep opens with >so much more>, an epic track that releases its melancholic-euphoric mood slowly over the course of 9 minutes, turning itself into a beautiful, hopeful, hand-raising screamer that floods the dance floor with overwhelming warmth and heartfelt love. side a ends with >deadpan<, an intense dark ambient miniature that lets us peak at glitterbugs world of score-like ambient compositions.
the b-side begins with >daubed beams<, a deephouse track all glitterbug. >daubed beams< feels like what mid 90s detroit techno released on warp would have sounded like: unbelievably deep, pensive, warm, divine and pumping.
c.sides latest emotive ep culminates with >be content<, a warm track with a deep drive of warped pads, a dark bass-line, airy percussion and unforgettable arpeggios. this exhilarating dance track is layered with bottomless emotions, the kind you want to close your eyes to, hug the person dancing next to you and wish it would never ever end.
the >dim flares ep< is the first in a series of 3 magnificently moving eps (by glitterbug, christian löffler, and a collaboration between glitterbug & ostgut ton s murat tepeli) to be released on the c.sides label in 2009-2010, all leading up to glitterbugs extraordinary next double album which is currently in the making and will be released in spring 2010.

the second record >trapez 100 pt2< features a great dynamic track by dominik eulberg, and two remixes, one by break 3000 of oliver hackes legendary trapez track >der vampir von düsseldorf< and the other by the famous berlin duo format:b of florian meindls hit track >blast<. welcome back to the trapez world. dominik eulberg released stunning records on trapez in the past: >gasthof zum satten bass< was a huge hit and also >adler< createda waves of enthusiasm. with his exclusive track >ambivalent< for the trapez 100 release he refers to the days when techno was defined through its drive and enormous dynamic. >ambivalent< is exactly such a pounding driving track with a big synth joining in that creates joy and a great rush. mr eulberg was in a really good mood when he finished this track and we expect it to be played on many big raves. >der vampir von düsseldorf< (eng. the vampire from duesseldorf) is a legendary track, we released without any writing on the etiquette and just communicated by word. very few people knew that oliver hacke produced it and a lot of people like michael mayer and richi hawtin played the limited 12 inch a lot. now you get a very cool and fantastic, monumental, grinding remix by dirt crew records label owner break 3000. the format:b remix of florian meindls slammer >blast< is a winner. they manage to walk the fine line between techno and minimal by using sounds from mystery movies and funky beat patters, as well as slow down beats which create funky breaks and interludes that provide the original with a more trippy and rhythmic side.

eijajei - aye ya yay! this is a hit record! but what else would you expect when two of berlins hottest dj and producers, guido schneider and jens bond, are working together!? following the duos major success on pokerflat in 2004, we have managed to get the two of them back together for this exclusive release on highgrade. the results are well worth it. >getting sleepy< pulls us comfortably into the musical world of jens bond and guido schneider. without being obvious, and certainly not lazy, the track reclines into a laid back groove that hooks straight into the rhythm, creating a perfect atmosphere for the psychedelic vocals and hypnotic groove. you wont be able to escape the mood, making this the perfect techno weapon for the late night hours. we like! >eijeijei< is the highlight of the record: warm drums, siren like vocals, the whole thing seems to come from a long way away with incredibly smooth beats which make this track so special. maybe this is the sound of a table dance bar in the jungle? its incredibly sexy in any case

ckn 003 named mechanical invasion, is a maxi ep 12inch published by cyberknife records (from italy). contains 4 tunes produced by infernal noise. a real hardcore ep. unconfortable noises and powerfull dancefloor sounds. to be played with old praxis, fraktal, explore toi and no tek stuff... well done with nice printed jacket!

bapp jim? that means swing at its best! listen to this sound of the 20s. plattenbau-music 003 also offers a great electro-remix by the sexinvaders. the b-side is the typical minimal-techno-stuff by tonkberlin with a lil blubb and a remix from roberto mozza.

already supported by nick curly, dan ghenacia, markius fix, robert dietz and more!
alex is back with his london home cinematic recordings - this time with a 4 track stormer! >north london cutz ep< is a homage to his inspirational north london neighborhood - where his infamous >rhythm tech< studio is based during the last couple of years - and he got it just right! he delivers a phat 4-tracker with plenty of moods to choose from!
on the a side >bellawatt< - a big room techno with a disco feel and a rumbling bassline on point with todays sound. a2 brings us >ductile< introducing a jackin chicago vibe with a more techno attitude on the beats and a pumping tribal groove on the subs. >this goes out to ron hardy he from chicago< belches the spoken word. funked up to the max! on the flip >route 277< is a warm tech house affair with a dub mood and a strong banging hihat beat and the last joint goes deep and techy with a hypnotic vocal and a haunting oriental melody, all summed up in a percussive jungle mood. overall a very strong and dj friendly release to stay in the box and a perfect follow up to alexs latest releases on arearemote, cecille and tuning spork earlier this year!

vivid 003 fits the labels music policy perfect! positive uplifting music with loads of drive for the floor

the model is no stranger to gigolo, and we (the royal we) are no strangers to the model. as a supporter of gigolo records, you, our fated reader, should be familiar with our protagonist previous gigolo adventure. but in the words of the late george harrison, >all things must pass< and with this in mind we would like to reintroduce...
the model doesnt just have his own sound, he has in fact attempted to engineer his own genre: dark-techno-baroque. the sound has been crafted through a penchant for aristocratic mannerisms and a passion for high fashion and low fetish. it also happens to pretty succinctly sum up part of his unique personality. set against a backdrop of refined charm, there s an underbelly of something dark and brutal, which is possibly the best way to describe the a-side >in the night<. in many ways this could be seen as a return to form for gigolo, immediately poppy but structured as a classic song with haunting vocals underpinned with a driving techno rhythm. to further consolidate the techno aesthetic look no further then >flex on the b-side and you have a pounding track that could have been played by daft punk in 96 and will probably find a home with a diverse selection of djs today.
the >vampire funk ep< is the first release from the models forthcoming album on gigolo. the concept is in the same vain, but delves deeper into the dark-side of the model. exploring his fetish with the night and creatures that occupy its opulent corridors. like classic transylvanian tales the music from this album will present details that set the mood and composition to create tracks with narrative regardless of lyrics or words. the result being music that moves both bodies and minds and stirs the blood. as pretentious as this sounds the author of this mindless scrap of paper has the fortunate privilege of speaking from experience. as the mind that moves the hands that moves the keyboard is the mind that is being moved by the music as i type and you read. so we are already part way there. the rest will unfold in the coming months.

final release!! played by richie hawtin & loco dice !!! perc s debut release for ovum recordings, the mathlete ep - title track mathlete is an industrial soundscape. a living, breathing, composition, with a murmuring, metallic heart. percolating bass, delicate mood changing synths, twisted wah-wah guitar and steel drum percussion, all make this moody opener a hit for the floor.

suitably by the summer, the aspekt label is back with a hot and groovy summer bomb by digitalreport - gramophone ep. >odyssee< on site a is a charming techhouse track that tempt one move into holiday mood. served with an awesome deephouse remix topping by marc poppcke. the great summer vibe techhouse tune >ride like capone< on site b lets the sun rise and the people dance. the remix by marico kantana & sebastian bosch is an excellent deephouse number ideal for dreaming.

loco dice support! its been a while since itamar sagis last release on be as one, when black gold and its remixes got into the most various record boxes around and became one of last year anthems. now, after a row of releases on soma, ovum and klapklap which consolidated his ever growing profile, itamar is back on his home imprint, with a real summer treat. in perfect sagis style, the a side >selio< is an uplifting and punching slab of techno, with a real fat beat and itamars distinctive trademark chord sound. once again another track to be one of the anthems of 2009. b side >series 1< is instead a paced down and trippy number. very atmospherical in the mood but with a bouncy groove, still carries the artist quality imprint. perfect for the summer ending.

joining forces with the minsk-based whiz kid maxim samos, who makes his second appearance on theomatic, an-2 delivers two mid-paced numbers that naturally blend the elements of funk, rock and disco. sometime you may find yourself in a mood when you are not worried about past troubles and there is a calm confidence that from now on everything in the future will be just fine. and this is what the new theomatic release from an-2 is about.

elon returns to dumb-unit with 2 sublime summer works. treading lightly on current trends but with full individual strength he jacks the notion of what a modern techno djs should deliver in this day and age. fxck cuba is a layered and playful excursion into what the post minimal freestyle years have allowed us to achieve. freedom from constraints & styles. he then continues the mood on >right on babe< an ode to slinky summer sex, here elon pushes a dark and nasty feel that will grind hips this summer.next up is a man we have been eyeing for some time and his first foray onto dumb-unit is a stormer. ahmet sisman, the upstart from essen who has already made major waves (including being featured being on sven väths sound of the 9th season), takes the remix to another dimension (so pay close attention). not for the light hearted, this remix a a powerful calling to festival and main room dance floors of the summer, direct, unabashed and loads of fun ahmet is clearly a man with a lot to say and delivers a powerful modern take on dumb units renown sound.

its been a while, but the minimo imprint is finally back on track. and with a killer release that is!! ultra funky minimal techno music that will appeal to a very wide audience. well worth the waiting for this release!! big tunes..

cosmic journey, the monster 303 dominator of a lead cut on this 3-track release from moscows denis a looks like being the biggest release so far from this new label. but really this is all about the monstrous groove that denis a creates with some superb 303 tweaking and peaking that makes this track an instant dancefloor smash. over on the b side sadalmelik and orbis novus are both excellent explorations into tech territory, with catchy melodies, and more minimal styling. perfect for creating a mood, and no less captivating.

olmeto, a small town in corsica, is infamous as the birthplace of the family vendetta. we chose the name as it has an air of mystery but also a bit of fire. we felt that we wanted a label with us as the only artists free to do what we want, how we wantà this is release number 23. all have been ours, and range across the house spectrum, vocal, minimal, tech and deep and probably a little of each in all. the raw road and madagaskar whilst different, are made from the same mood. a strong rhythm with elements brought in and out, like a good dj, you lock the groove and then begin to play around it. although all tracks are by us, we do bring in artists we like to remix from time to time. the raw road will be remixed by mark broom and nic fanciullli and they will join artist such as loco dice, green velvet and unkle who have both remixed tracks over the course of the label.

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.

fritto morto 003 sees gatto frittos invisible college getting a timely re release. originally out on dissident, invisible college has been a big record for beardos from hoxton to hawaii. it became a firm favourite at londons disco bloodbath and cosmic truth nights aswell as across the pond at harveys sarcastic parties. a long acoustic guitar driven balearic trip propelled by synth bass, disco toms, clavinet and fender rhodes with a summery disposition. the b side your dreams are my nightmares is 9 minutes of highlife guitars squalling 101s, backwards vocals and white noise snares with a pure pop number buried underneath...the sort of thing paul simon and doris norton might have made if they had been sectioned and were in a music therapy group together.

these two have paid their dues and have released on some of the most prestigious labels in dance music. kompakt (meditation ep, fears inc.) mood music (memory lane refund ft. sasse), cocoon (mindflexes) and r&s (everytything remains/cryptid

founding member and lead singer of the legendary 80s band imagination leee john... is one of rare artists to have continued with success a solo career whilst at the same time making appearances under the imagination name....leees eloquent sensual style vocals are now considered as household trademarks in the business..... this particular project sensuality comes from his very personal evolution in the jazz scene,where the already accomplished singer attained new heights...sensuality the hit single from his jazz album was heavily aired and charted highly on the billboard,here we find the original version exceptionally well re-visited by lem springsteen (mood ii swing) leon kibuka and sami dee who add an expansive feel necessary to touch new fans. watch this space.....summer hit material in the making

after setting 2007 alight with his award winning debut solo album a mind of its own karizma returns with the highly anticipated sequel: a mind of its own- version 2.0 the upgrade ! this is the first single to be taken from the album, and contains two of the hottest club bangers from the new selection. necessary madness has karizmas trademark power drum programming and raw bassline as the track builds from sparse elements into a killer throbbing groove that will destroy any dancefloor. on the flip-side, drumz nightmare has karizma once again pushing the boundaries of dance music with an atmospheric, electronic, percussive soundscape, using sparse elements to create an eerie mood while providing reasons to move your body. on a mind of its own v2.0 the upgrade karizma has raised the bar once again as he continues to find new ways to rock clubs, cars and headphones worldwide. this 12 inch reminds us why karizma is considered one of the most creative and influential producers currently working in dance music.

delusions hits the spot once again with number 3, this time highlighting the production skills of a certain zepp001. the seattle based disco obsessive has been leaking out high class edits over the years under a dizzying array of deliberately forgettable pseudonyms but feels the time is right to push his original tracks. who better then to make these beauties available for you discerning djs than delusions of grandeur. dont sleep is a dark, brooding groover with throbbing bass, cute cuica fills and intense strings that lalo schifrin would be proud of. a real heavy mood setter and as good an introduction to the sound of zepp001 as you re likely to need. next up we have the mighty revenge in for remix duties on dont sleep. the much hyped master of the edit keeps the vibe of the original well and truly in place but opts for an even more stripped back approach leaving all the space for crisp claps, slowly building strings and bowel wobbling bass. flip over for giraffe, a more upbeat affair where the filtered keys come to the fore and things steer in a hyped up deep house direction. show your luv...

ed’s first offering for autoreply references the early building blocks laid down by pioneers such as carl craig or robert hood twisting & turning them with his own crisp production & drum programming with the end result being a unique contemporary take on modern dancefloor techno. both tracks effortlessly build teasing as they progress sometimes climaxing but always leaving you thirsty for more. the ballroom is a deep complex work that starts its journey showing the characteristics of a light stepping waltz - as the track progresses something more sinister starts to emerge & the mood subtlety transfers to a dark prominent space tango. this track will not only make you dance, it will also make you feel nervous & excited! the well tempered clavier – this track has it all: dancefloor bomb - dj tool – 9 ½ minutes of absolute linear pleasure making a statement from the word go with its solid kick and catchy lead synth floating in and out of the mix building to an unmissable break which is guaranteed to get cheers from the dancefloor + beyond. serious techno for serious djs. linienwerk – this is the perfect track to help build a room or wake up an afterparty, beautifully paced with an organic feel not to mention the dark synth stabs that seem to cover the entire stereo field.

big with richie hawtin, shinedoe, bart skils! comfortable records 10th release is no exception with its 4 powerful tracks. this is a truly unique record filled to the brim with deep techno & tech-house of the finest quality and mood. big tip!

rene breitbarths sphere ep,which brought the succesful start of the primarily digital only-label, is now available as an actual record. the track of the same name is already deemed to be a timeless summer hit for several digital/cd djs, and cant stop to spread a positive mood. likewise, easy cant help to keep your feet stuck to the ground with its fluffy chords and melodies, which again create happiness all over. then hypno gets it really deep - minimal house with swing and a hypnotic approach for floor groovers.

robert burians new track orion fulfills this dual attraction. it is danceable, but still has chillout mood. bart claessen accelerates the tempo in his remix and adds more bass, this mix could definitely become a club stormer. viper has a little bit slower mood - but keeps your legs dancing still as hard anyway!!

our third release is introducing to you more intensely the musical personality of dairmount, founder & a&r of our the label. longtime independent music activist born in belgium (formerly known as philarmonix), dairmount is a natural born “freestyler” who embraced anything soulful & groovy since the late 80‘s, playing & travelling the world for 15 years. hamburg is the city where he settled down in the last 6 years and 2009 marks the accomplishment of his personal dream to found room with a view, shelter of his musical fantasies. friendship & challenge are two values that defi ne phil pretty well so it is no surprise that musical collaborations & versatility tightly express his musical approach and personal ethic. after displaying bass-ment tale, an old school house tribute produced with his partner in crime marino berardi, on the fi rst episode of the perspectives serie, dairmount is presenting subakuatik blues on his fi rst ep. recorded in 2007 with his good friend ralf petter, an “old cat” of the hamburg music scene, this track managed to capture the essence of these great studio sessions : phil’s natural obsession to create hybrid club material & ralf’s amazing engineering skills matching perfectly to create this sub-aquatic dream that resulted in the track name. lost in the world of analogue synths of ralf’s studio, they created a 9 minutes odyssey crossing the lines between deep house, disco futurism & detroit infl uences topped by a surprising “ravy” breakdown. phil approached naturally two of his longtime favorite producers to give their own perspectives of the timeless feel of the original : russ gabriel, who phil has always admired for the depth of his output on ferox, planet e or his own soul on wax, has signed a beautiful version of the track. extremely subtle & hypnotic, this remix is a true blessing & a great pride. mood music’s honcho sasse, old friend of phil, retouched with lots of love & care the track that he went crazy for and even realised 2 vers

8bit introduces another mannheim based artist to their family. >veitengruber< delivers 2 the groovy house tracks >bon melange and big love< bringing us into the right mood for summer. nice vocals and a relaxed groove paired with warm chords make this tunes work the dancefloors. afrilounge round it up with a strong deep pumping remix of >bon melange<

smokestack is all about paolos darker side. intense, minimalist and moody, the game plan here is all about matching understated energy with a compelling hypnotic aura to create a powerful peak-time tech stormer. booming beats, abrasive bass-licks and a wigged out flickering riff create the required mood before explosions of harmonic echoing keys provide the moment in the break. swiss producer michal ho, best known for his work with berlins tuning spork label has been selected to provide the rework

it may have been fate that erphun s very first gig was on halloween, because his music is brooding, pounding, moody and transformative, as if from another realm entirely. his ability to build a mood is mesmerizing and transports the listener to that alternate spiritual level that his moniker infers. having spun around california with residencies for naked, flirt and hotel california and playing at 1015 folsom (san francisco), sevilla (las vegas), broadway (san diego), voodoo lounge (las vegas), risqu (las vegas, new year s eve 2004), and the shelbourne hotel (miami, winter music conference), erphun began to make his mark. erphun s music has been spun in clubs all over the world and is succinctly summed up by steve lawler as a deep, dark and underground unique sound that trademarks his pieces. with early releases on ingrooves, and ascension records followed by releases on viva music oliver klein s mutekki and audio therapy, his name is now instantly recognizable among the tech-house, minimal, techno world of spinning producers who globe trot his compositions to be dropped on every conceivable audience. the reaction of the listener to his slow, driving builds that weave between the almost symphonic-like movements of each of his pieces is always jaw dropping and is usually followed by an exclamatory siiiiiick! . erphun is also a highly sought after re-mixer for artists who want to hear the 4am version of their pieces. the only way to really experience this immense talent is to see him in action. a night of erphun s making heightens the listener s musical aesthetic and aurally illustrates his personal musical vision

>not my cat< is a brooding fusion of bubbling acid, deep bass tones and low-down jacking rhythms that treads a line between early doors groover and late night mood setter. >demons among us< is exactly the sort of cinematic-style club production that will resonate with fans of charlies work. forging together multi-textured layers of precision crafted sonics, the overall vibe is one of minimized, robotic-funk that provides the foundations for a killer shimmering melody to do its joyous damage.

the enclave of both established artists and fresh undiscovered talent whose shared passion of deep underground detroit influenced house and disco are reflected in the quality output you will come to expect from the label. franc spangler, the revenge, zepp001, john daly, alpha child, 6th borough project, tuccifunk and pezzner are just some of the producers creating their work with tender loving care for delusions. dog01 will be setting the standard with the soul part ii from craig smith & the revenge. these boys are currently riding a wave of successful releases, mainly in the form of their disco and boogie edits under their 6th borough project guise on instruments of rapture. here we see them move into original production territory with a bass heavy slice of brooding and grooving floor friendly house but with their own unique twist. tempos are kept low, drums are kept live sounding and the subtle italo synth lines all ensure this track keeps true to their roots in disco. for their 6th borough project dub they dive head first into a slowly building, drum and percussion heavy workout which has a beautiful tension to it. this is music for small basements with big sound systems. finally we have john dalys beautiful interpretation where he opts for a blissed out, understated and hypnotic sound that wraps you up in layers of warm, echoing synths whilst the groove chugs along masterfully. a true mood setter or after hours classic
