brill deeper minimal rockin classic tech trax by jeff mills

great sub-phonkey technasia like tech trax !!

another fine release on winding road records! this is a debut ep from bleep district. true to their name, the 4 tracks here contain plenty of mesmerising bleeps sitting inside the slick deep house grooves youd expect from the label. the lead track, bleep of faith, is peaktime voodoo house with cool vocals, and a wicked bassline which comes as a special surprise half way through. robot claart is superdeep, hypnotic tech-house with a cheeky jamaican dub twist. when i saw you, possibly the strongest tune of the package, is a real killer. with polished production, reverse vocal licks and an ubercool bleepy bassline, this track is a contender to be a summer anthem of 2008. essential! the last track on the package, some may say, is an eccentric but irresistable hip-hop meets folk-house number. yet another winning package from winding road

this 2nd and even stronger strike back from moguai on kontor comes with 3 thrilling mixes: x edition. i m x, x edition dub. perfect to please cool dj of all hip genres: electronica, techno, tech-house, funky ...!

supported by karotte (cocoon, great stuff), mike shannon (cynosure)... jeff samuel is back on frankie rec with a surprising 3 tracker ep titled gurd em ep on the a side the eponym track a1gurd em create an original weird atmosphere mixing hypnotic sounds and bass voice with the groovy bassline and incisive drums… on the b side b1 dementia is a brilliant minimal tech house piece full of subtle bleeps and mental sweet melodies with jeff typical sense of groove and on b2 spic and span more funky is full of quircky sounds & groovy bassline… ingredients of a freaky tune!

the long awaited follow-up single from the parquet rec. labelhead solee! after big club hits like impressed or different normen flaskamp aka solee delivers the ultimate summer & open-air hymn timba. as usual, the original combines minimal techno with voluminous sounds and amazing melodies and will be one of the next crossover-hits this year for sure! next to the original mix, solee also shows us his deeper tech-house side with the solees basement dub. last but not least, neurotron (ostwind / nightdrive music) complete this big package with their ultra cool deep-house remix! already massive international dj support by: laurent garnier, john digweed, roger sanchez, josh wink, dj yellow, deetron, sharam (deep dish), satoshie tommie, yousef, joris voorn, ewan pearson, sander kleinenberg, hernan cattaneo, dj tiesto, sasha, umek, tiger stripes, dave seaman, argy and many more

for the third time adam proll has released a 12 for cocoon recordings. and just like in the two predecessors, >hummel< and >adamantido<, the native pole is at the pulse of time and, with >flight 407<, creates a beautiful and dreamy summer tech house track, which seems to be made for the forthcoming open air season. warm, soft beats are as skillfully and elegantly used as trippy half time snares and thus make the a side sparkle of life. in contrast to this, >abbadon< is more something for the neverending after hours of this summer. the warm and deep detroit sound reminds of sunsets at the beach and is bringing back this special feeling to the dance floor - may it be in frankfurt, berlin or everywhere else.

bangana and vocalist clarisse muvemba (from the ep roses) are back with deep and jazzy tech-house at its best. packaged together with a remix by djulz this is definitely one for the summer

marcel fengler provides 2 new tracks for this ostgut ton release. having just moved to berlin, the producer displays two different sides of his abilities. theres one primetime tech banger and one more experimental cut with a growing dubstep influence.

for flash lützenkirchen delivers three very classy dancefloor burners. first up there is >enter the moonlight<, an enchanting piece of thumping peak time business. a big bass, pumping beats and some great oriental sounds combined with far-out effects create a unique atmosphere. modern styles meet oldskool feelings! >on the shore< is even more oldskool than that. the fat and wobbly bassline pushes the track forward and creates the perfect antagonism to the warm effects and clicky minimal beats. the highlight - however - is the wonderfully written melodic piano piece that turns this track from wicked into wow! beautiful and tough, oldskool and fresh, slick and funky - all at the same time. this one is going to be huge. listen for yourself! at last there is >pokemon companion<, a more direct and solid piece of minimal tech. a drum’n bass like powerfully grumbling bass, and yet another memorable synthie pattern that seems to grow out of the buzzing loop like a spring flower out of wet grass - naturally and wonderful!

next remixes to the dapayk & padberg album >black beauty<.. this time by noze and digitaline !! also incl new funky minimal tech track called >distracted<! support comes from shinedoe, jamie jones, karotte, sebo k, laurent garnier

following the success of last years >nitrogen 2 oxygen 1< ep for siteholder records and the recently released >filthy fibber< ep on uncut, the duo of billy dalessandro and daniel mnookin have teamed up once again under the slutbox moniker to deliver the >backseat driver< ep. switching up the rotation, the ep kicks off with los angeles based producer jason emsleys >lick it, smack it, rub it down remix<, a filthy number that no amount of sludge can adequately describe. a subtle, yet effective rhythm section keeps the dance floor busy while the dirty synth overtones grow larger and larger until they have conquered ones brain synapses. feeding off of the original vocal and adding some x-rated lines of his own, if pornographic techno wasnt a genre before, it is now. the original is pure slutbox at its best. deep bass, seductive rhythm, addictive loops, and a spanish guitar combine to make this one another club killer. as if you had a choice, please make your way to the dance floor - the night has begun. rounding out the vinyl release is st. louis via berlin dj/producer butane (a.k.a. andrew rasse). known for his widely praised work on his own alphahouse label, as well as top techno imprints dumb unit, num, and rrygular, butane has long been a friend of the siteholder crew and takes this opportunity to make his debut on the remix tip. deep, druggy, and hypnotic, butanes >percocet remix< is what one has come to expect from the late night veteran. whether its early evening, time to jack, or after-after hours, the >backseat driver< ep is an all-in-one tech fueled necessity

funny a side!! the danish scene has evolved a lot over the last years, with acts like trentemøller, martinez and whomadewho. the new label tartelet records is rising from the horizon of the copenhagen club culture. tartelet records is founded by fredski (the man behind the greatest copenhagen parties ) and tomboy (aka tomas barfod, dj, producer and drummer of whomadewho, with previous releases on turbo, kitsuné , get physical and gomma). the two founders themselves are also behind this first tartelet release, which is a true showcase of what the label stands for: tech-house with multiple flavors like ghetto, funk, disco and a bit world. the a-side ‘do the tartelet’ is a schizophrenic yet effect full combination of sampled horn-madness, hand claps and techno bass. on the flip side ‘cereal’ sounds as if james holden and paul jonson were trying to make minimal house together. the future releases from tartelet promise remixes from world-league remixers (tba) and tracks by danish kleshmer-techno-reggae band analogik do the tartelet
