there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

averse to any easy classification, rainbow arabias continent-trekking, kaleidoscope pop is rooted in no particular time or place, employing modern technological processes to an array of musical cultures and eras. the los angeles duo began with the purchase of a lebanese casio that played microtonal scales and eastern beats, with which they quickly recorded their propulsive first ep, the basta, synthesizing bossa nova and industrial post-punk with heavy middle eastern vibes. digging deeper for inspiration from the worldly found sounds of sublime frequencies compilations, their follow-up ep, kabukimono, expanded the color palette of their >fourth world< pop with dark, arabic disco-dancehall jams sitting alongside sunnier moments with caribbean and african flourishes...

following the solid gold pop smash that was their debut 7 inch >circles<, south coast soul boys :kinema: return with their biggest and best song to date, >my beautiful machines<, a joyously upbeat love song to their synthesizers.
if the original of :kinema:s >my beautiful machines< is straight up classic pop then the remixes courtesy of swedens drop out orchestra, take the track off into disco heaven.

in all of his years of being a certified veteran in the world of techno - from his beginning days in napoli in the early 90s to his celebrated status around the world today - marco carola never once lost grip on his main priority: letting the music speak for itself. throughout his leagues of vital releases and endless stream of dj dates, his focus always steered clear of sensationalized press angles, or ranking up the charts he chose to instead keep his head down and his passions high. carola retains a rare sense of integrity, despite being an artist whos consistently changed the face of techno. he shrugs it off modestly, claiming only to always try to do something new.

>do you see me< is a delicious pop/folk/jazzy tune we instantly fell in love with after the first listen. now we must share it with the world.

ulysses dj career began in 1991, when he started his universitys first techno radio show. shortly after graduating he returned to his hometown and became a player in the late-90s electro scene in new york, running some of the earliest large-scale electro parties in new york. guests included legends such as alexander robotnick and arthur baker, as well as recent stars like i.f., miss kitten and the hacker and adult. ulysses is not only about party promotion, however, and a close look at his diverse musical career will quickly shatter this misconception. although a long-time advocate of obscure disco and classic techno, ulysses is currently best known for the piano house anthem robotic hypnotic adventure from his neurotic drum band collaboration with john selway. in addition to the ndb ulysses collaborates with thugfuckers holmar filipsson as filipsson & ulysses, who are releasing soon-to-be classic eps of emotive electronic disco on internasjonal and bearfunk records. ulysses still continues to chart his own musical path with an incredible ep of dark pop for internasjonal spesial in the works, as well as some new club-friendly dance tracks on wurst and his solo debut for throne of blood. the acid reflux ep represents the diversity of ulyssess talent, from banging acid tracks to moody downtempo and grooving electronic house. to round things out ulysses recruited prins thomas to deliver an unprecedented nine-minute rerub of >acid reflux< that preserves the originals 303 groove but injects a heaping dose of cosmic atmosphere and live instrumentation into the mix. essential

das münchener label permanent vacation präsentiert eine 4-track-ep mit brandneuem material von herrn ed dmx und seiner dmx krew! vor 15 jahren fing der engländer auf dem aphex twin-label rephlex an. mit >the game< legt ed dmx eine wunderbare synthie-pop-ep vor, auf der er selbst als sänger glänzt.

doppelschall is back! the label of brand brauer and frick with another strong forward thinking house release. its paul frick doing a solo with emika and come up with some sweet warm sounding song with a great funky groove and sexy vocals. dollkraut comes up with a more then excellent remix that sounds like dick dale & the del tones doing a house mix... killer track with much pop appeal! akufen goes all deep house with warm chords and laidback vibe.

party breaks unabashedly shows its colors with 4 new brilliant marcos cabral edits. with samples ranging from boogie, to piano house, to a beefed up disco ballad, marcos layers sounds and phrases in an effortless manor for major effect. sometimes robin s will peak through, sometimes bob-a-rella…all within a strict drum machine groove. all the tracks were clearly built with the dj in mind, repetitive when wanting to hypnotize, and pop when wanting to catch listeners.

need to warm up? want to dance and you love house music? then your gonna to love this track. david guettas ability to supply a proper dance-pop stonker again evident with whos that chick. feel the adrenaline / moving under my skin / its an addiction, the barbadian songbird rihanna hollers over bolshy beats and swaggering synths, the studio trickery on her nonchalant vocals feeling colder than an ice pop on a snowy day. its a good job, then, that bopping along to this - and warming yourself up in the process - is pretty much impossible to resist.

und wieder einmal macht rajko müller seinem namen als visionärer ausnahmeproduzent alle ehre. auf >well spent youth< setzt isolée erneut maßstäbe und liefert uns ein atemberaubendes album zwischen house, techno und pop ab. niemand klingt wie isolée. nicht mal entfernt. der name ist programm. in den letzten 15 jahren hat isolée es geschafft seinen eigenen trademark mit seinem atemberaubenden klangdesign zu kreieren. jeder ton scheint liebevoll aus den untiefen seines anlogen geräteparks gemeißelt und abgeschliffen worden zu sein, bevor er ihn in ein außerirdisches abstraktes, stetig morphendes und dennoch verbindliches und bouncendes klanggemälde savantischen ausmaßes einwebt. 1998 gelang isolée mit beau mot plage (playhouse) ein zeitloser geniestreich, der weltweit und genreübergreifende verzauberte und die grenzen der elektronischen tanzmusik neu auslotete. es folgten 2 hochdekorierte alben >rest< & >we are monster< auf dem frankfurter label playhouse und zahlreiche remixe für z.b recloose, blaze, franz ferdinand, roy davis jr , tiga, alter ego oder international pony. isolée erinnert auf einzigartige weise wieder einmal, wozu elektronische musik fähig sein kann und ist bereits jetzt schon ein heisser anwärter auf eines der alben in 2011!

patrick rasmussens musical worldview goes beyond the adjectives that are continuously used to describe his music - eclectic, accomplished, experimental. he is a restless journeyman who, as raz ohara, has sojourned in collaborations with electronica luminaries such as apparat and luomo, and has penned solo work of electronic downtempo, acoustic, folktronica, and various points between. most recently, under the guise of the odd orchestra, he changed course again and crafted two albums, raz ohara & the odd orchestra and ii, both explorations of hazy, pastoral, avant-garde pop, grounded by rasmussens soulful and heartfelt vocals.

>down there< is a world of nine new songs from animal collectives avey tare. his first official solo full length carries you through a murky world of sound, an alien death world of soul grooves that is both honest and otherworldly. wait for sundown and turn it up loud. take a ride on this haunted boat and let yourself be guided through deep sloshy rhythms, waterlogged bass, and moonlit breaks in the canopy that reveal a crisp crystalline pop buzz. >down there< was recorded in the month of june by old friend josh dibb (deakin) at the good house, an old church in upstate new york, surrounded by the great swamp and visited regularly by monks, white widows, and groan toads.

mitzi are a 4 piece of awesomeness made up of dominiqe bird, jad lee, charlie murdoch and cale suesskow. they all hail from australias most laidback and sunny city brisbane. some people call it brisvegas because its sexy too. after playing in various killer bands such as bmx (2009 unearthed parklife winners), comic sans (2010 unearthed st jeromes laneway festival winners), charlie why! (recent bang gang 12 inches signing) and the gallery kiss all the dudes have united to create some genuinely exciting australian music. the three tunes on >all i heard< fuse the sounds of garage disco, nyc indie and the light heartedness of australian pop. jono ma (lost valentinos, tracy thorn, teenagers in tokyo) mixed the record at ewan pearsons studio in berlin and made all those trumpets, snares, keys, whispers and vocals sound ridiculously tight. future classics history has always been rooted in bands and were pretty stocked to be getting back into it. plus its our 50th release!

chaim avital brings a glow to revellers hearts. the producer and dj from tel aviv is loved like a star for his melodic dancefloor elegies. this charming musician has opened up house music to his own unique sound cosmos, he takes delight in a new and distinct spectrum of emotions. he unlocks the club cosmos, moulds moods and sounds into a universal pop language and seduces us with enchanting grooves. this first single from his debut album >alive<, due for release in february, fills the listener with euphoric longing. the sweet, intimate surrender of >u & eye< takes your breath away.

it’s with a lot of excitement that archipel’s boss himself releases a vinyl extract of his album’s favorite tracks. while the album which consist of 2 cds, we thought some of the works would fit well in the hands of collectors who would push the tunes in their quirky sets. the opening track, titled “big trouble in little cave” is one that could haunt a techno party in berlin where in the breakdown, things just go out of control and while you think you can’t take anymore, the music takes you back to earth. tests have proven to be used with care, reports indicate some people reacted with a lot of noise. “dérape totale” is perhaps a cross of four tet releasing on raster noton. awkward combo indeed but the strange structure on top of weirdly arranged percussion is set to catch your attention and draw you into an inner journey. with the chance of having manchester’s dncn join him for vocals, pheek goes with his first interpretation of what a pheekie-pop tune could be: fun, intriguing and catchy! >follow the flow< is the closing track and is one build tension with surprising exploding percussion clashes on top of melodic waves.

support from oxia, rodriguez jr, radioslave, josh wink, dj koze, laurent garnier, seth troxler, joris vorn, jennifer cardini, dixon, claude vonstroke... two friends who have known each other for many years, who have often shared the same stage and recently enlightened our summer workshops at la carrière, who trade deeply-felt lyrics and singing for singular and refined productions and who delivered infinés finest electronic rhymes. after >silently<, clara called mimu again for >deer & fox<, the vocal pop wonder of >polyamour<. this fall infiné has invited forward-thinking remixers to work on clara s stems for four new opportunities to play the track. deep and introspective, the troublemakers of dop have kept the classy original textures, slowed down cleverly the bpm to carrying mimus voice into a bubble of euphoric bleeps. pampered by derrick may, juan atkins or kevin saunderson, stacey pullen offers the clubbers a one-way ticket into his time machine. right back at the heydays of the detroit second generation. terribly old school and consequently incredibly efficient on the floors. widely praised for their recent intrusions on the very respected karaoke kalk label, tolouse low trax on top having a profound liking puns, have turned >deer & fox< into a dizzying after party chorus, adding their own dark and hypnotic sound pallet. offered as digital extension but no less essential to the package, austrian producer ritornell aka richard eigner brings celestial violins and heavenly piano for a shining and delicate rework, which could almost let you forget the original.

if ever there could be a dream team collective of folks involved in just one single, this would be it. together, brit pop legend jarvis cocker has joined creative forces with two of the most exciting & innovative french producers — pentile and pilooski, both collectively known as discodeine — and created the much buzzed about dance track of 2010.

recently supporting the aforementioned marina & the diamonds, spark brings a healthy dose of pop to the indie scene, with her dancefloor cuts sparkling in a world full of dour, face to the floor guitar bands. her songs touch base with everyone thats made great pop in recent years - we are hearing splashes of la roux and the ting tings, and all powered along with some wonderful production that chooses subtlety over in-yer-face plug-in hell, unlike most shitty chart toss of the moment. this is a very special single from a big tip for 2011!

nice price deal !!! after more than one year slash co-owner ahmet sisman is back with his brand new solo ep! the playing with acid ep is an unapologetic combination of raw-deep techno and electro-pop influenced house music. and as we know it already from mr. sisman, he loves to combine different genres and create his own distinctive flavor! the a-side playing with acid is a pure synthie-baseline dominated track whose melody is drilling through your head that you won’t forget it so easily. this trapping hook line is coming along with some poppy vocals which are giving you a slight association how is it feeling being totally vaporized in the mind. we say, be careful when you playing with acid!!! feel today think tomorrow has a different approach while the ingredients remain the same. it’s the more melancholic side of this record but also filled with pure energy. the guitar phrases creating those feelings between the struggle and harmony in life, and like the title indicates: live today, pay tomorrow! no return no regret is the more poppy side of this record. the b2-side is a mixture of modern elements bonded with the refreshing vibe of the contemporary 80s influence. this fusion is a naive approach of pooling different styles in one track with the intention to create something timeless. even its poppy elements doesn’t seem to allow it we going to love it for a long time and we hope you will feel the same! this three-tracker ep contains the well known “mr. sisman-ingredients”. although the difference to his previous productions laying in its details. find it out for yourself and above all: enjoy it!!!

pascal pinon, das sind jofridur und asthildur, zwillinge aus island, die bereits im zarten alter von 14 mit zwei freunden eine band gr?ndeten. die beiden mºdchen klaubten sich die instrumente zusammen, ?bten in ihrem zimmer und traten mal hier, mal dort auf. ihre musik - ein mix aus neofolk und lo-fi-pop - klingt sch?chtern und zur?ckhaltend, was sicher auch an den d?nnen wºnden ihres zimmers liegt. die songs indes beweisen gro?e klasse, kein wunder also, dass pascal pinon mit ihrem deb?talbum f?r den islºndischen musikpreis als newcomer des jahres 2009 nominiert waren. die drei-track-single >i wrote a song< gibt einen vorgeschmack auf das schaffen der beiden.

babylon by car is entirely in this ambiguity, between nostalgia and modernity, between pop and post-punk, electronic music and rock, past and future – its where kraftwerks >men-machines< celebrated an endless future with obedient machines. botox summons the ghosts of the century, from cybotron to wire, from fad gadget to john carpenter, to give birth to greatly personal music and, in all honesty, a rather unique sound in french electronic music. botox doesnt swagger to keep their motors running. both melodic and fierce, >babylon by car< comes as it is. and its probably the best way to take it in
