alex flatners circle recordings is building another bridge to berlin and welcomes rene onze to debut on his mannheim based imprint. known already for his output on areal, his involvement and appearance in berlin calling and most notably for heating up the concerts of the paul kalkbrenner tour 2011 as the official warm up act, onze s flip a switch is an emotional, subtle melodic piece of modern dance electronica. something you will likely give a well-considered play, as its undeniable epic deepness will stand out, regardless of whether its being played on an afterhour, open air, in a warm up session or a prime time set.
remix duties go to cocoon resident skai vs. joel armstrong, kanzleramt techno legend alexander kowalski, who is adding more roughness and energy to the original vibe and last but not least deep circus label owner and blufin artist benny grauer.

ultraschall is an homage to the first big techno club in munich. the owners of harry klein were part of the old ultraschall, which has a unique legendary status nowa¬days. the older generation in particular often long for the good old days. yes those times shouldnt be forgotten, especially not in terms of sound, but its also important to move on and attempt new things. like supporting vinyl, going to a who¬lefood shop or ending war. ok that might sound like a bro¬ken record, but how about spending less time on facebook and actually with your friends, cooking for your parents or organizing a break dance battle in your backyard? daniel takes us on a journey through the past and back to the future again. a charming mixture of laid-back grooves combined with some rough n ready rave moments make this a rapturous trip, no matter what time it is. track names are a really interesting element of music. some artists dont care about them at all and call their tracks a1 or something non-descript. yet many titles can be really funny, others made up words, and some corre¬spond to current events or times. some just really fit the sound. if you lose something, in general its a pretty nasty and unsettling feeling. but you have to deal with bad luck when it strikes. losing something can teach you an im¬portant lesson, or simply show you what it means to be unfortunate and down. not knowing the lows as well as the highs wont allow you to evaluate life very well. most important is to really feel and be yourself, despite the ups and downs.

the labeldebute from be that as it may is served by ricardo esposito and michael nadje, with friendly support from luke hess.
the a-side of the record is the epic title track >nieves<, that in a straight way controls the nightly events on the basement floors. nieves is without a doubt taking each and every clubber on a mind trip. thanks to the drums in various arrangements, in combination with the heavy bass, nieves generates a forcing groove that even makes the floor dance.
luke hess reshapes nieves in a consisting and open way. with the given resources the remix is coming to an unsurpassed dynamic, which through percussion and dubby chord patterns is impressively direct. with this interpretation hess respectfully completes the release with sovereignty. vivantes is a classic tool which builds on the foundations of dub and rhythm. through the strongly repetitive pattern vivantes developes to something meditative, grounding the listener at the end of a journey of this extended play.
it is what it is.

the allmighty prspct arsenal gets expanded bigtime with the coming of prspct xtrm. the name says it all extreme.. over the top underground vibes!
the first release sees the dj producer going head to head with bong ra in a collaboration that is just too much. it starts off with >the abominable<, a track that is insane in every way. heavy hardcore kicks combined with destructive jungle breaks is something only this duo can combine! sitting firm on the edge of hardcore, breakcore and dnb like only these 2 can. >bloodclot techno< is something totally different.. this one focusses more on the jungle/break core side of things but combined with almost terminator esque vibes. definably an epic production if there ever was one!

a welcome return to dmx krew, simply one of the uks finest producers ! sounds like analord turned up to 11 ! ed dmx reminds us all hes still number one when it comes to beautiful, esoteric electronic music. still aimed squarely at the dancefloor, ed provides us with a really strong and, as always, diverse package with something for everyone...

this fall dumb unit returns with what is sure to become a household name in electronica: thomas feriero aka avatism. known recently for his moody releases on labels such as mike shannon s haunt and tiefschwarz s souvenir, his dark yet hopeful productions are already receiving plaudits by some of the scenes top artists. opening the doors to new musical members has not been a common occurrence at du which therefore means that this release must be something special indeed. and it is. dark, brooding yet full of energy and substance. all tracks hit with a welcome hint of catchiness and hooks embracing what is current in dance music today, without losing sight of the label or the artists individuality. 4 quality tracks of equal stature command full attention on this ep. one of the the labels most exciting releases to date and one which signifies a strong 2012 ahead!

the next ep on germany s hello? repeat imprint comes from seuil, one of paris s most inspired underground producers. in terms of style, it is a match that could hardly be more perfect. hello? repeat has spent the past six years carving a niche for itself with eps from cabanne, audio werner and label co-founder daze maxim, plus acclaimed albums by bruno pronsato and kate simko. seuil, meanwhile, has put out a steady stream of ultra-deep 12-inches on labels like freak n chic and sammy dees ultrastretch. both specialize in a sound that is modern, understated and hypnotic. late call is exactly what its name suggests: a record made for the deepest, most tender portion of the night. the drums are slick and punchy, but the rest is woozy and romantic–this is one to put on when the crowd has stopped chatting and everyone s dancing with their eyes closed. topping it off is a vocal line made famous by diana ross but recited here by an androgynous diva: if you need me, call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far… dark, trippy and weirdly moving, this is one of seuil s finest tracks yet. >slow motion< strikes a similar chord but with a more subtle approach. here you notice seuil s rare touch for subtlety: in the absence of any real >hook<, he keeps the track moving with expertly sculpted drums, a warm half-melody and a gently propulsive beat. soft chords sustain in the background to create a balmy summer night feel. both tracks show seuil and hello? repeat doing what they do best: delivering something deep, functional and full of character.

düsseldorf based sello is producer treading creative end of the deep house spectrum. after the great feedbacks received on his ep debut on neovinyl and his latest work on wazi wazi, he is back in bussinnes with - feel this -. enter the universe of sello and explore two new tunes by the master of deep feelings! simply quality.
subsequently to listening carefully his new work, we are pretty sure thereís something extraordinary about a lot of these tracks. they definitely recall the sound of the old classics. in this ep you will meet up the soul of this young artist who keep his style fresh and original in any track he signs up.
among the original tracks you will find two remixes featured by two five stars artists: brendon moeller and elef, who have remixed plombir with two very differents results. brendon moellers music is well known in the scene, with releases in third ear, mule and echocord. he made a solid version of plombir giving it a super dub feelings. on the other side elef (dirt crew, back and forth) just twisted the original track with a superb interpretation adding some moody grooves on it.

don ruigrok is the winner of vinylized, a famous annual dutch producer contest in co-operation with ade. the winner gets studio time at sae + his release on vinyl. so here it is: the winning release on vinyl! next to dons outstanding original we are proud to present remixes by zoutman, mladen tomic and locomatica. all mixes are melodic and warm, as is the trademark sound for manual music, but they all bring a different approach to the table, making this a package which includes something for everyone!

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.

kevin gorman isnt a man of many releases, but when he does release something, its always spot on. his last release was on ostgut ton, thanks to ben klock. he also has his own label, mikrowave, and already did remixes for cocoon, clr, skint etc. >cast< is a real techno bomb, just like the jonas kopp remix on the flip. not for the faint of heart!

summer has all but gone as the darkness draws in, the clocks go back, and fina records releases something a little different for the night owls. cosmic dutch space cadets morning factory step up for fina 005 with a slow motion rhythm and tone ep. having previously appeared for yore records and brother from another mother 2020 vision, the guys have been busy in the windmill whittling a perfect autumn release. sultans of swing ep doesnt quite shadow dire straits but it certainly delivers. hypnotic title track of the same name is features futureproof basslines, layered with an enigmatic drowning echo-led synth while >lady< adds a different finish to the wax. here we find d angelo s 96 vocal hook effortlessly breaking through the shuffling punchy bass.

gethigh is a new track release from laid back. the lyrics may instantly lead your mind onto thinking of cannabis but try to think about it in a broader context, in a more universal way. we all want to get high whatever we do in life, in all walks of life, in spirits, sports, politics, showbusiness, all kind of business, in school and education and not to forget love. musically the groove is kept in the recognizable family of the horse, with an updated twist. actually the song was born in key of major, as a more rock guitar riff kinda song included in the package. also included is an ultra minimalistic version, mainly made on ipad. danish electronic musician and dj kasper bjørke has done a really cool remix. finally we made a space mix, mainly for our own pleasure and for those who like to get out there and more into it. a video is in the final editing stage, following the style of beautiful day and cocaine cool, with self made animation. music is more than a trendy sound and a fancy look. laid back is always going for something personal, original and timeless. copenhagen, september 2011.

fragil is a strong new label with great identity and excellent releases ahead. the label is developing an original, deep and trippy music with wide influences going from house to techno music. the aim is above all to share a quality music that explores different universes of >dance music< as well as to research and promote strong musical personality artists. fragil music was created by vinyl passionates and will always release records. the project is already supported by artists such as mikael stavöstrand, butane, marcelus, tom ellis, anthony collins, efdemin, yakine, kasper, king britt, hrdvision, le loup, brothers vibe, moodymanc, osunlade dario zenker and many more

!!!mixmags tune of the month 5/5!!!
bot ox guys, cosmo vitelli and julien briffaz, perfect pair of its kind, return where they somehow belong: the dancefloor of a club. their remixes for other artists - logo, aladdin and even the unexpected toxic avenger - showed their soft spot for dancing, lately. this pair of tracks brings something special as they feature the foremost poets for the vocal part.. a figure of the underground dance music wall of fame, the foremost poets aka johnny dangerous is also a voice that techno and deep house lovers keep in a corner of their imagination: >i ll beat that bitch with a bat<, >reasons to be dismal<, >moonraker<, >pressin on<.... two versions of >perfect pair< are proposed along the most classical standards: an >original< one and a >dub< 13-minutes one. each of them have their own progressive, undated flavor

john digweeds bedrock records celebrates a milestone 100th single release in superb style with two of the best tracks that you will hear this year, from two of the most creative young producers in the electronic dance scene – guy j and henry saiz. in this day and age to not only survive as an independent label, but to flourish and constantly evolve, bringing forward new and exciting talent, is something that should be applauded. a mark of the global respect and love that bedrock has steadily gained through years of releasing quality dance music that rides the waves of trends and fashions is the fact that this bed100 release received over 12.000 listens on soundcloud before it was even officially announced!

chicagos ricardo miranda makes his debut for the ace stilove4music label, maintaining a fine year in which he has already dropped some serious heat on rush hour sub-label hour house is your rush and his own noble square imprint. title track >102point7< is all jagged synths, throbbing arpeggios, slashing claps and a rolling acid groove, marking it out as one of his most incendiary productions to date. on the flip >rotary cells< is deeper still, a 909-led jacker with undulating layers of sub bass augmented by a wonderfully woozy vocal which extols the virtues of true chicago house. this is followed by >greenline<, a stripped back jam with scuttling hats and the kind of paranoid synth melody that wouldnt sound out of place in jeff mills something in the sky series. this is dark, raw, pulsating dance music - highly recommended.

we are back with a special release from einmusik. this time samuel kindermann is telling you something about those real summer-nights, those few mysterious and magic hours filled with sounds, colorful lights and beauty all around. -nyx- is one of the songs on the -oceans bottom pt.2- ep. it comes up with an endless dreamy hook, the slappy rhythm is gracious and the groove is full and checkless. bit by bit the headstrong sounds direct you deeper into this track and you re hands will be up at least. backside we find -oneiros- it s a very coltish track with a haunting melody. it s humming in your ears, that s what it is made for. such an easiness coming up while hearing this song, you ll get a bit gushy and your feet won t be able to stop. both songs on are preparing the way into a unique sound-universe which will be opened on einmusiks new album coming up in autumn.

supported by carl craig, donato dozzy, ness, joel martin (quiet village), andrew grant, john daly, paul nazca, claudio fabrianesi, neel, cosmic metal mother, chembass,metrica, hector pizarro and more.
a very special vinyl that underlines the vision and the elasticity of the origin of this label. in this ep commodity place perfectly represent their sound, a new age psychedelic electronic sounds combined with live instruments played. distant atmospheres.
the remix of the title track is signed by the labels owner fabrizio lapiana. his version is perfectly good on the dancefloor to appreciate the atmosphere created by the original. engaging, happy and sad .. not heavy and with something resembling atmosphere coming from a part of the old school in detroit. a real journey into the sound!

out of an 8.8 earthquake, riots and severe illness comes one of the most joyful records of the year. brian gibbs aka echo park has had a colourful life to say the least, living and making music in l.a., tokyo, madrid, mexico city and now santiago, chile where he lives with his young family. previously a producer of dark hip hop and dub, a series of disasters made him confront mortality and decide it was time to make the music that is closest to his heart: luscious, sunshine-infused electro-funk full of laid back attitude and real songs. skream has always been a lover of disco, boogie and electro – as anyone who has heard one of his specialist sets or his slick n sleazy remix of chromeo will know. it took just one hearing of brians first echo park tracks via a mutual friend to snap them up for disfigured dubz. in fact he has chosen echo park for the first full album on the label… but first comes this killer single, a shmoooove bit of vocoder funk that sets the tone for echo parks twin obsessions with technology and romance. bundled with it are a gutbusting ravemonster of a rework by 12th planet & flinch that somehow still keeps the soul of the track intact, and jon convex taking it way underground with a deeper-than-deep analogue techno version. there is something for everyone here and this is just the beginning.

the proposition is a simple one. it was a 2009 when julio bashmore first remixed >heartbreaker< from deadboys classic first release - the >u cheated< ep on well rounded.
he remoulded the garage template of the original into something more immediate, replacing the swung off-beats of the original with driving forward-rhythms and a clarity of purpose that takes absolutely nothing away from the musical impact of the original. this circulated on mp3 and we smiled and danced.
unexpectedly, in 2010 jb returned to >heartbreaker< for a different interpretation. this time around a more haunting approach was the order of the day with cross-fading strings creating a soulful, otherworldly atmosphere. the drop this time also swapped sub bass for punchy 808s. a tantalising further alternative that pointed the way to this vinyl release.
back 2 back timeless brilliance for the dancefloor on our favourite format. get stuck in.

having once said that daily life as well as adventurous trips across the globe were the source of her inspiration when making music, its obvious which recent event in the world of anja schneider formed the basis of her new ep on mobilee records. whilst she takes a well earned pause and enjoys a very new lease of life, >hello boy!< will hit the stores in october. for this release, she joined lee jones in the studio to make something with a twist. with a strong anja schneider flavour, title track >hello boy!< cleaverly transposes a real sense of excitement and waiting on to the dance floor, with soft mysterious chords and a steady build that works itself into a drop. >rio bravo< offers a relief with more of an airy head-spinning feel and >let me out< … well, its done now ,)

for their sophomore release catapult records presents the debut solo release from the organ grinder aka chico from didz and chico fame, one half of the duo that brought us the outstanding >something new< on doc daneekas ten thousand yen label. >obsession< and >new age people< are back on the old school renaissance tip sharing the same soulful classic tones that underpinned >something new< which got plays from the likes of larent garnier and sinden.
these are two classy modern garage hits that have a back in the day vintage feel, think tuff jams garage classic >experience<, think us garage at its peak, think iceberg chinos and mochino shirts, think everyone having a good time in clubs. both tracks are swingers aimed directly at the dance floor full of soulful vocal snippets, catchy melodies, shuffling rhythm patterns, warm vintage keys and plenty of deep bass.

flying donkey music, after the first two releases by samuel l session and kirk degiorgio got the respect as one of the new more interesting labels in the underground stream. as third release we can appreciate the homeboy claudio mates m2g4: he shows us something new and different, which is hard to catalogue, just a techno/house track or a simple piece of electronic music. tribute mix by claudio mate is a perfect journey in deep, dark, emotional, emotive lands within an amazing epic ending with guitars played by luca petrosino (an italian guitar talent). orlando voorn really doesnt need any introduction: his deep divine mix is the perfect mix and balance between raw grooves, melodies and solid bassline like his usual trademark. its perfect for dancefloor people who loves berghain or fabric. david hausdorf is a classical musician from the munich philharmonic orchestra but he is also well known for his old works on labels such as synaptic waves, styrax leaves, salo, lifetime music.

played and supported by regis, norman nodge, luke slater, jonas kopp, perc, dvs1, samuli kemppi, adam x, dimi angelis, jeroen search, markus suckut, rolando, pfirter, slam, edit-select, cassegrain, par grindvick, audio injection, tim xavier, drumcell and more. the m_rec ltd, has become one of the most interesting labels in the world techno scene after only eight releases. labels owner is max m! this time he shows an original track, pure sound signed m_rec ltd. a journey with a very deep sound. something that comes from his background, a walk through detroit, birmingham and berlin. a rhythm that is not heavy, repetitive riff that nullifies any inhibitions. it s definitely evil, its a reminder of the deep and pure techno.the first remix is signed by shifted (mote evolver)! one of britains most important artists on the scene. the sound becomes more intense and repetitive. the rhythm takes on a form of drum and hi-hat, classic techno. effects on riffs, amplify everything and they turn the track into a totally hypnotic pleasure. ascion (repitch / drumcode / synewave) is the artist of the second remix. being a promising youngster he has now become a reality. the sound is industrial, but without a heavy rhythm, more like background noises. reverb and effects that cancel themselves suddenly. the riff from far away is almost unrecognizable. a version definitely carefully devised and researched.

gary beck teams up with house legend and personal hero mr. g on their first col- laboration together. their efforts highlight both producers uncanny ability to create something that is instantly recognizable while distinctly individual. >all my people< brings a true and unadulterated house sound with a swaggering vocal sample and straight, crisp and assertive percussion. mark broom returns for his second appearance on bek audio with >stag<. steady, rol- ling techno shows the darker, head-down side of the bek imprint and marks produc- tions. intense percussion builds with the addition of a haunting synth leading to the break. stripped back to the bones the track jumps in with powerful effect.

edit king leo zero returns with something very special to kick off a new run of no frills dancefloor bombs that have been tried and tested over the summer on a packed worldwide dj schedule from stockholm to tokyo and beyond. first up is an intensive slice and dice exercise on probably the best track from definitely the best band in the world: the clash. leo takes their most disco friendly outing >the maginificent dance< famously spun by mr levan at the garage - and with the more dubby rare levan version he homes in on looped 1 bar sections, skating along to create a new arrangement - added to the brew are bootleg recordings form the clashes infamous live show at nycs bonds ballroom, and even some baseline demos digitally siphoned from people practicing guitar along to the clash on youtube!….. we are left with is an epic labour of love edit that has already found its way into the a-listers record boxes - from derrick carter to laurent garnier who are all spinning this solid as a rock dub disco bomb. on the flip we have a classy house re-work of al hudson & partners >music< which sticks a chi-town kick and snare up its rear end along with some serious sub bass, and in the middle things get all wobbly with some trademark leo zero space echo rides and before we are quickly warped back-in and onto the floor… big with a load of top jocks too including severino of horse meat disco fame.

this ep was formed with a concept in mind that involves a natural phenomenon occurring in various / different fields of science and nature - anti-parallelism. as the word suggests, anti-parallelism describes the natural relationship between two occurrences, objects or even non-material things, that are virtually identical and yet oriented in different directions. during the time the music was made i was researching natural phenomenons like this one. naturally, this became part of the nucleus, fabric and inspiration for this work. in genetics, for example, if the >antiparallelity< is corrupted during the process of dna replication it is called a mutation. this mutation can be anything from totally inconsequential to critical for the survival of the whole living organism. a double helix of dna contains two helixes, that are naturally anti-parallel to one another. in physics this could be two of the same objects moving through space and time in opposite directions - just like the instruments or parts of a beat in electronic music production. so metaphorically speaking, anti-parallelism holds a natural balance to keep it safe and stable. although this might sound all very conceptual and theoretical this music is obviously just what it is - it is not intended to teach math, physics or biology in any way. the above mentioned aspect has simply found its way through my head and might have led to a piece of music that somehow, at least for me, is connected to these thoughts. it might evoke something very different for you

basic fingers is back with their third release! this time we are giving you two strong remixes from los angeles based dj & producer jose marquez. his sound has often been described as a fusion of deep afro-latin soul and percussive dancefloor rhythms, something perfectly showcased on this release.

stefan schutz aka juno6 belongs to the society of the leipzig new school, which for the last 5 years has cut a path through emotions and change in diverse regions. his particular real estate is comfortably between deeper house and thoroughly scrutinized techno. sometimes he tends in one direction, at other times the opposite. all the while juno6 captivates both listeners and dancers alike with something new. his live sets are always an occasion – sound expeditions in the most literal sense embedded powerfully, yet imminently fresh as they are bound to tradition. he even dials up the the ambient/electronic field with project beautiful planet earth, or together with friend daniel stefanik as sensual. the sonic awareness of juno6 is expressed consistently as a potent degree of warmth, which paints a distinct lively and long-lasting tone on club music. the tone is hardly useful as a flavor of the month, but rather, a music with stamina and character. his track >guununk< is for more than a few the quiescent highlight of the fat 5zig compilation. on his second from fat, he displays the juno6 portfolio fully and expands his present effect with a portion of funkiness and a sprinkle of pop – at least on one of the cuts. with clever vocals mr. schulz informs us yet again.

after a short production break, the russian techno duo easy changes (denis cast & kilrill silas) are back with a 12 inch on the berlin/london based label, mean records, run by cesare marchese (cesare vs disorder) & federico benedetti (onirik). the lion is also a good drummer fits in nicely with the labels love of minimal techno productions that feature original sounds, moody melodies and deep aural landscapes. easy changes gained recognition in 2007 with two back to back hit releases on foundsound records. in 2009, they were the first ep from nervmusic, a moscow based label that focuses on unconventional techno started by cast, silas and friends. seated comfortably between the avant-garde and the dancefloor, the release has something for everyone. the title track, the lion is also a good drummer is an epic, crawling minimal techno production filled with stripped down percussion and abstract found sounds perfect for after-hours. on the flipside is the uptempo, quirky and tribal burlesque, replete with spliced vocal samples, snares, cymbals, bleeps and claps. for the burlesque remix, french producer doubtingthomas shows off his lifelong obsession with percussion and its rhythmic allure with the addition of a trippy drum solo midway through the track.

after he caught our attention several times with a string of releases on such labels as quintessentials for example, we are very happy to introduce skipson as a new artist on our label. his influences can be found somewhere between labels like classic or music for freaks for example. these influences combined with a great passion for detroit house from the likes of kdj or andres create the very own skipson sound that we like so much and that always shows his ability to add something unique to his productions.

the us born and berlin based walker barnard created a unique ep drawing from his years of experience and studio work with sounds as diverse as hip-hop and minimal techno. featuring the legendary us poet and producer mike ladd and a remix from our good friend iron curtis, the result is something completely different and yet strangely familiar.

house hero miguel campbell releases he debut single on the ever-consistent hot creations imprint. >baby i got it< - a mouth-watering mix of sexy disco-tinged house cuts with a dose of murky business from richie ahmed in the remix

terpsichore welcomes the florian muller project with the marvellous >jam with it<. the funky live bass and the amazing deepness of its chords and vocals make this track a must for any deep connoisseur. florian created something special here! the oliverwho factory blessed us with two splendid remixes: hear their vocals and scream! last but not least, what would be a terpsichore release without jefferson velazquezs touch? deep as always!

what do you call musicians like com truise? he seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like nostalgia, synth-wave, eighties, and electro-funk and you will scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. how do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern? awesome is an option. especially when it sounds like you are driving the knight rider car through thick clouds of nitrous oxide, like >fairlight<, the title track from truises new single, which previously appeared on an iso50 comp called dry waves and also has this jarring, falling-all-over-itself middle section that prevents you from trancing out too hard. >beta eyes<, the track that follows, is even more restless, with a drum pattern that is fidgety and clustered, kicks and snares fighting each other like two drum and bass heads arguing over an atari remote. >polyhurt<, a narcotic, almost ballad-like closer that inevitably leaves you thinking, >now, how the hell am i going to describe that to someone?< the vinyl exclusive cut >colorvision< could be truises most dancefloor friendly track yet.
limited to 500 units worldwide (200 in europe).

three more disco throbbers courtesy of em vee aka marcel vogel and the always on-point lumberjacks in hell imprint. the entirety of the a-side is given over to jam >body heat<, a phat, james brown sampling slice of shoulder thrusting funk that you may have already heard in the more discerning discotheques across europe. wisely, the two b-side cuts offer something completely different, with the loose drums and squealing brass of gospel-sampling >the shouting< a perfect counterpoint to the uptempo disco-strut of >mouzon<.

for the second remix sampler we have dosem from spain - every fan of electronic music will be aware of his recent productions on tronic or sino - finding the perfect balance of melodies and dancefloor-appeal once again! with his moody approach, nick curly (together with production partner gorge) from the now-famous mannheim area, pays respect to the melodious vibe of the original track delivering another highlight of the package. last but not least we have a remix by one of the most recent break new soil contributors: patrick siech, truly one of the producers of sweden s new school of techno, chose echelon and transformed the already massive original into something even bigger.
