yore returns with a true dream team split ep, pairing yore label head andy vaz with sistrum manager patrice scott. vaz is up first with a beautiful slice of old-school funk and soul within a deep house formula, >back to square one< that has a whole lot more in common with isaac hayes and james brown than with juan atkins or any other techno icon. accompanied by a wah-wah guitar figure and claps, a bullet-proof bass line leads a nine-minute charge thats quickly bolstered by a slinkily swinging drum groove. creamy synth chords and blazing horns intermittently spill over the pulsating mix and then vanish, leaving space for the rhythm to intensify and the track to grow ever more euphoric (and even, towards its close, a bit acidy). a true mission into both funk and house, which again showcases vazs ultimate diversity as an outstanding producer. scott titled his second sistrum release beyond deep and the title might just as easily apply to the b-side >aztecal< where the detroit producer slathers shimmering stabs and congealing streams over a thudding kick drum and flickering percussive detail. while vazs cut draws inspiration from the timeless traditions of decades past, scotts looks towards the future when its gleaming shuttle lifts off in pursuit of distant galaxies.

reissue of this rare italo disco track from 83. probably our last italo disco release since most of it has been bootlegged by now but we really wanted to credit giuliano saglia for this magical release. >firelight< is bouncy 80s synthesizer disco with those trademark italo sounds and vocals (also included the instrumental version). but what should get you really excited is the flemming dalum >firelight< remix. he strips it down to the minimal and builds an amazing dark and intense version that stays true to the original sound but with a modern dancefloor approach.

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

the album title track >my manifest< shows, that marco stays true to his love for house chords. old school riffs meet energy loaded beats and his dark self-spoken manifest and reveal a new, more technoid face of marc o tool. >the grail< however shows, that he also still knows how to embed harmonies in a club outfit. driving rhythms reminding of the old o tool days, get alternated by an emotional piano breakdown, to finally find their way back into the floating monotony

the 3rd release by scott grooves on his natural midi label, this is scotts first ever ep and color vinyl release. all 4 tracks possess a different mood and distinct raw edge, which plays well on this well balanced ep.track 1 dark blu speaks for itself, simply stated and deeply enriched. the relentless melody never lets go of the groove and the groove never lets go the melody. everything in this track harmonizes together perfectly.track 2 dna definitely disturbs the peace with vintage analog synth sounds. the old school sounding vocal sample echoes thruout the track that >detroit needs analog records< take a listen and decide if that echoes true!track 3 >it doesnt all have to be techy< as the title suggest there is know >techyness< here, its all about a deeply stormin groove that is enriched with warm melodic keys and a lovely guitar, yes i said guitar that altogether creates a feelin thats organic but not boring. track 4 decimalquivers in and out with a fm gritty synth stab, complete with minimal drums or as scott calls them >drims< which is the term scott uses for minimal drums. also present is a deep pad sound that brews slowly like an eruption. co-produced by panther, a name you will hear more about in the future

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

a dark hypnotic tribal burner with some uplifting 80s synth sounds on top of it that could best be described as radio slave meets lindstrom! feedback: martin eyerer the original is very good! for a track that makes such an impact, the label could only entrust remix duties to a true production don, and jerome sydenham is that man. he delivers a heavy duty blacktro dub that is set to make an impact with so many of you!

an incredible ep with namlook exploring the edges of minimal techno and deep ambient, while the remixes are pepe bradocks most dancefloor oriented works in ages! macro delivers a stunning release by a man who has not only produced 3 collaborational albums with richie hawtin, but also runs the ultra influential fax label with an artist roster ranging from speedy j to bill laswell to klaus schulze: namlook is a true electronic pioneer in a league of his own. the track >subharmonic atoms< was produced back in 1995 and is re-released by macro as a long out of print electronic prototype on the edge of minimal techno and ambient. but dont think this is a retro affair: subharmonic atoms sounds incredibly fresh and proves it is as groundbreaking, innovative and timeless as jeff mills early axis works or hawtins concept1 series. entirely remastered from the original source and cut in unparalleled sound quality, it is available on a single 12inch side for the first time ever. the release is completed with nothing short but french remix master pepe bradocks triumphant return to the dancefloor. his versions of >atoms< are rocking upfront house burners, which his fans have been waiting for since 2003s intrusion ep. definitely one of this years hottest packages
