william anthony bois was born in stockholm, sweden, in 1991. he expressed an early interest in music, especially electronic music. whilst william demonstrated a natural tallent for piano composition from an early age, in 2003 he began channeling his creativity into house music after a friend introduced him to fruity loops. early street dancing lessons introduced him to funk which has been a source of inspiration ever since the age of nine. he continued the dancing with the dance group funky 4 brothers and has performed around europe and sweden. william also studied music production and sound engineering at sixth form college. this background has given him a firm foundation from which to express his music through a variety of rhythms and tone that give his music an individual flavour.

released in 1996, this is the first full-length album norman cook was to release under his successful moniker fatboy slim. fuelled by his signature big beats that would come to dominate the 90s dance scene, sprinkled with acid house bleeps and squeaks and heavily sample-laced, >better living through chemistry< proved to be just the tip of cooks proverbial iceberg.

rippling with slow-paced funk and with starry-eyed soul, double hill returns to gadi mizrahis vinyl only imprint double standard this time with fellow israeli and co-producer jerome c for the stellar >i need love ep<.

red marbled vinyl only at decks.de!solomon s remix is already rated one of his best to date and perfectly refletcs his flair for the sub-heavy downtempo funk and club-feel. expect the cool underground clubs to have the solomun remixes running for the entire summer season 2011.

played by reboot, joris voorn, martinez, christian prommer, lee curtiss, sis, ... ever wondered what a butch diana ross on acid might sound like…? well youre about to find out… but before we get to overside, youve gotta enjoy and marvel at the sheer brilliance of the rest of jairo catelos latest offering on silicone souls darkroom dubs. our man from the asturias has rapidly built a strong and loyal following thanks to his beautifully crafted house cuts. jairos ability to bring together dubby textures and an innate soul within his productions is most enviable. his warehouse ep features three original new cuts backed by a rework from french house guru, phil weeks. lead cut soul school is something of a two-headed beast. whilst its kick-drum and dramatic synth stabs drive it with a serious dose of funk, it still retains a warm-summer soul that will keep the fillies moving. then, as a little sax break goes to our head, were flipped and the beats and bass get sleazy and old school. killer! mr. weeks beings some 90s flow to the table on his remix. working the guitar licks and bassline hard but always retaining a smooth as silk groove, phil shows just how to keep the dancefloor cookin. a beautiful house record from one of the very best. >yairos 303 acid< mix of overside finds us getting upside down and inside out. serious funk with an injection of some classic acid styles. final cut >the shake< sees jairo roll out drums. a lazy bassline is swarmed by ripping snares and a host of percussive sites and sounds. a perfect close to a pretty much perfect ep.

keep it raw. keep it underground. play quality music and play it on vinyl. this is the fonos way of thinking. influences range from funk to techno, from theo parrish to larry levan. we are proud to hand you our second release from these two guys consisting of three tracks, that do a very good job of presenting a wide range of the full frequency that is their music, from the deep slow wonky vibe of the title track, to the clubby oldschool acidtinged stabs of sad pitch. their last track on we are (la senna) has been played at pretty much every major club by the likes of danny tenaglia, joris voorn, raresh, luciano, timo maas, deetron, matt star and just about everyone else.

the producer behind these mind-blowing slabs of heavyweight disco-funk perfection was one jp source, an exile from the geordie ibiza (that will be blackpool) and geordie mecca (erm, newcastle) now living out in the sticks in the states, far from home. the eps title, >get your bearings<, is reference to his struggles to come to terms with his new surroundings.
three tracks, all tried and tested, all disco dynamite. since he sent us these killer edits, jp source has begun to pick up interest elsewhere. he recently released an excellent ep of original material on audio parallax and has material forthcoming on edit, zzr and art star records. we reckon he has got a big future. all the more reason to >get your bearings< and dive into his bedmo disco debut…

das schweizer label mental groove hat sich mit dem dj duo jess & crabbe zusammengetan, um diese einzigartige compilation, die sich dem echten sound des kuduro ueber die laenge von zwei cds widmet, zu praesentieren. die musikrichtung kuduro entstand anfang der 80er in angola, als elektronische musik aus europa und amerika den afrikanischen kontinent erreichte. die musik ist schnell, energiegeladen und tanzbar und erreicht besonders in laendern wie portugal, cape verde, frankreich und brasilien zunehmend an popularitaet. das duo praesentiert auf 2 cds insgesamt 27 tracks, die den sound des kuduro umfangreich und authentisch portraetieren.

killer deep detroit (rick wade sounding) house tune...very nice!

creepy autograph aka jimmy edgar brings classic 90s house with a future funk production style on his new hit single >curiosityyy< for thug records. suspect takes care of proceedings on the flip with furtive vocal laden smooth electrotech business with >inurface<. all vocals by lace.
comes on blue/grey marbled vinyl.

83370 is the first transmission from ollie viero and nico serrus, a pair of french brothers who grew up in a beach town along the coast of the french provence, saint-ayg, which has since become the basis for their name: sinteg. now based in montreal, their collective output has made up the bulk of fur trade recordings signature sound - this sixth label offering is the third to feature one of the two brothers at the helm. they are fresh and prolific and, as such, they are the sound of a new generation of montreal producers. vieros version of house music is upbeat, fiercely layered with percussive latinized shuffles and necksnapping samples. meanwhile, brother mindbend is one of the labels co-founders and has been designing its style and directions since the beginning. together, sinteg is a breeding ground of propulsive dance music punctured with tiny shards of detroit funk and chicago soul, but with the brittle dryness of techno substituting in for the deepness of house.
comes on transparent dark green / smokey marbled vinyl.

dc shows with his full 12 inch debut an outstanding spectrum of his talent.
side a contains deep and heavy bass sounds paired with an itching synthline. to say it in a few words, turn your speakers on and get ready to freak out. >vertical output< is definitely the uptempo cracker on this record!
side b comes with some different styles. >yorktown recreation< and >chocolate milk< are pure delight! microkorg extravaganza up to the sky, confused funk chords backed by insane jazz lines. these two bangers are arranged in the typical dorian concept manner and give a pretty good insight of his sound universe.

pulp disco & the outcasts - overnight to dusseldorf is the latest release on ashley beedles out hear audio imprint. put together in it s original sublime whoozy electronic form it was passed to mr. beedle who then took up the space baton with his studio partner darren morris to create the kommune mixes. with a nod to can, talking heads and some raucous psychedelic punk funk, the boys have whipped up two dancefloor killers that compliment the kosmische referencing original.

the catalog of pink stallone & joey washington singles continues with the arguable gem of their collaborative sessions, mine. the second daniele b & eddie mars co-production, mine exhibits the steady progression of the stallone sludge-funk thump, again fueled by gushing maturity and composure from washington vocals. eddie mars even delivers his own stunningly-authentic production of the stallone/washington sound, marking the first official mars rendition of pink stallone since his inception as a producer and member of the live group. with this comes two workouts by master of the deep the revenge who provides a stripped back timeless dub. one of those tracks that will still sound great in twenty years time. simple and effective with a hint of grandeur. finally wrapping things up are s.a.s (subb-an & adam shelton). following the bumping foot & mouth release earlier this summer we had to ask the boys to give there twist and they sure delivered. acid base and full throttle beats transform >mine< into a jacking dancefloor destroyer, be warned!

ashley beedle returns to the kat records stable, this time on their 45 offshoot...
first up we have flora purim getting ashley beedles extended edit treatment with the sublime latin-jazz funker >angels<. great vocal hooks, guitar licks and a jazz-funk groove with added disco overtones to boot! if the mizell brothers had been born in rio then this is what it probably would have sounded like.
on the flip we have brian protheroes >pinball<. a lost psychedelic pop classic which got to number 22 in the charts in 1974. a staunch ashley beedle fave with his tripped reworking doing exactly what i says on the tin. dubbed, stretched, spaced out and arranged to perfection. great!

glass tear groove is the new concept release from drum machine rookie, inkswel. a follow up to the random yet bubbling >get to my party< release, this ep cohesively mashes together drum machine sounds and new wave funk tendencies. the title track featuring vocal funkster zackey force funk (baron zen/jellphonic/mike gao) brings forth a timeless love song vibe into inkswels popping and locking approach to song composition. >good times< is inkswels ode to post disco and pre house sounds, fuzzy yamaha synth stabs and watery chords. backed with the bonus beat vibe of >whos fooling who<, a stand alone banger for beat heads and party animals. also packaged with stellar remix work from ppu/superior elevation s tom noble aka disco tom.

in its original form, holy ghost!s debut album cut >hold my breath< is, pure and simple, great dancefloor electronic pop, in the hands of shadowy duo tiger & woods, the song has been totally reshaped and refracted through 80s r&b radio. they have slowed the pace and inserted synth-funk hot flashes that recall prince – and, no kidding, the time, and jimmy jam & terry lewis – to create a mood that fits comfortably (and pleasurably) within their future boogie m.o. cosmic kids ron poznansky and dan terndrup have taken the track in a more tensely dramatic direction. it might be the vaguely darkened synthline upon which much of that track sits that lends itself to its more intense feel here, and gives it such a pleasant nocturnal feel. finally, theres falty dls re-envisioning, which goes down awfully smooth for a track so full of the big, thick, bumping bass beats. it’s an aural pleasure to find yourself dreamily lost in the brooklyn, new york producer/djs halls of reverberating sound.

the title track >radio anatomy< is a synth-laden italo monster, serious dance-floor material. detuned pads fizz under an arp and walking bass, caving in to a tear-away synth lead that pumps the tune into overdrive. the groove has a pace to it and sits on top of the beat and all surrounding articulation and effects keep things interesting.
on the flip we have got a serious remix from none other than emperor machine. this guy has been unstoppable in the remix department for some time, and it doesnt look like he will be faltering anytime soon! we are initiated with brioskis fantastic original bass and pad sequence, but in typical e.m. fashion the build up is sustained and full of suspense. haunting vocal chants ensue before the bass drops and the funk kicks in. what a drop! the switches are clever, the instrumentation is solid and the vibe is out of this world. brioski - >radio anatomy is an unforgiving italo dance-floor release, with help from one of nangs finer contributors.

uttu drop this double aaa banger from chicagos legendary alias g, having released previously a wide selection of gangsta hip hop in the late ninties on labels diverse at trax & missing records, hes recently turned his hand to classic house with the help of local friends marcus mixx, king farley jackmaster funk & gene hunt.

while yacht refers to >dystopia (the earth is on fire)< as a post-apocalyptic fight song and a cautionary tale, the tracks chant-along melodies and unsparing synths nudge listeners far closer to dance than despair. from the sound of things, that reaction will likely also be elicited by two new remixes of the portland duos song, from their 2011 long player shangri-la. legendary production duo justin strauss and bryan mette, aka whatever/whatever, completely rework the sound of >dystopia< on their version, reorienting it with heavy doses of funk. while the original rides atop buzzing synths, the whatever/whatever remix adds a thick bassline and shimmery keyboards that leap out like solar flares. on the flipside, uk-based emperor machine starts their dystopia remix with a dubby feel – every vocal echoing endlessly – and then u-turns into wholly a updated, yet classic, disco sound. the rhythms are sultry, slinking behind a deep, repeated, synthline, its a recipe for an unexpectedly smooth, subtly hypnotic, and utterly danceworthy song.

paul loraine first appeared on bigger deer back in 2010 as a remix artist, tackling ryders >thursday night<. armed with a two track ep, paul returns!
the title track, >envy<, being one deep & dark stripped-back number - groove & grind house music! >once again< creates a blissed out, futuristic dub vibe. warm synth hits and vocals coming at you from every side.
plus two remixes of >envy< from soma heavyweight, funk d void and bigger deer boss, lewis ryder.

recorded in late 2010 and mixed in a remote studio during the finnish snowstorms of early 2011, donky pitch present >the trick ep<, by helsinki resident and skweee pioneer v.c. six original tracks of synth soaked computer funk, electro inspired slow jams and colourful hip hop heaters. v.c. has been making moves in the skweee scene since the early days (as a solo artist and as 1/4 of supergroup yt). his combination of layered synths, hip hop beats and that type of funk only found in the cold reaches of the nordic region have scored him releases on every skweee label going (flogsta danshall / harmnia / mssy / ddpop / disques mazout) as well as ramp recordings. we felt it only right that he commanded our first true foray into the scandinavian electro funk sound of skweee.

second episode of the lifes track saga reach the top of a new intergalactic dimension! the spiritual and cosmic attitude of the faboulous italian live duo this time gets, on a1, more techy, hypnotic, mind-penetrating and aggressive, while a2 shows a fresh mysterious, sexy and holistic reinterpretaion of some of the best oldschool chicago house made by artist like virgo four. on b1 instead youll find some raw and melancholic keys a la glenn underground style with a touch of percussive madness and b2 ends up the ep with a trascendental and estatic boogie tech funk tune dense of trancier gentleness and tantric expressionism.

limited to 250 numbered copies, vinyl only - no digital release!
the first rose records release presents tracks by luvless, m.ono and martin hayes. while luvless >surrender< is playing shiny chords, adding vocals promising love and a restless groove, m.onos >love pass u by< combines a modern beat structure with some oldschool funk flavor. martin hayes rearranged and slowed down some 80s cheese and added chunky drums and filtered vocals.

remastered reissue of arthur russell s most mind-bending (and boggling) psychedelic dance raga, originally released in 1986. includes all three versions of let s go swimming: arthur s ownmixes of the gulf stream dub and puppy surf dub + the legendary coastal dub, mixed with love by walter gibbons. also included is the previously unreleased epic 11 minute keyboard funk version of make 1.2 (gem spa dub). huge tip!

* missed flight* sees two of drumcodes most prominent artists, cari lekebusch and joseph capriati, team up to deliver a 2 track vinyl ep of essential modern techno.
while lekebusch is a veteran, joseph capriati is part of the upsurge of new talent who have been grabbing increasingly intense attention over the past few years. the pairing of a prodigious new talent (somewhat new – capriati has developed quite a catalogue for an artist in his early twenties) with someone of lekebuschs standing is always an enticing prospect so >missed flight< looks set to turn heads from its billing alone. >missed flight< the track comes on like the perfect theme to the arrival of autumn. the tones are moody and the groove is linear, penetrating and eerily appointed. a kubrick-esque breakdown of pulses and space is the only thing that breaks the momentum and adds a deliciously creepy characteristic to proceedings. track two, >napoli 4am<, balances out its darker tinged predecessor with a shuffling 909 funk and playful groove combination that pairs up with subtly delayed hits deep fm synth work brilliantly.

as the instruments of rapture series draws to a close, the penultimate release comes courtesy of one of our favourite producers, tornado wallace. >rainbow road< sees captain wallace take us on a star-bound, jazz-funk journey where time stands still and emotions run high. with the equally positive >dont hold back< and a revenge remix on the flip, this is a fitting build-up for the final instalment on the label.

persnickety sounds is here to funk-ti-fy your world! in this era of nü-disco, space disco, cosmic disco, disco house and shit, there must be a beacon of quality to light the way and lead the faithful back to a place where good grooves matter and realness is holding court. let the labels fall and just get it movin.

the faceless artist, the nameless music. based in paris but with soul between chicago and detroit, rhythm& soul releases his first ep on monofunk. a release full of magic and soul , proper of the most respected nouvelle cuisine chefs from the city of love. deep house with jazzy touches and an amazing groove where each track becomes a deep future classic. >la jazzete< perfectly describes rhythm & souls sound identity. elegant drums, perfect melody and a bass line full of soul and three piano musical notes that repeats itself until it finds its way in to your dreams. in >midnight preacher<, r&s takes us to the most soulfull detroit. slowly progresses, with an impact full simplicity, to build up a 100% organic track full of life and plenty of funk. thats dope! damian schwartz (cmyk, apnea, deepdope), is our star guest. damian remixes brilliantly and unexspectable midnight preacher, twisting the track and taking us to the most analogic ghetto, maintaining the elegant melodies of the original track.

new awaited various artist on extra virgin featuring some of our favourite homegrown artists, a 4 tracker ep that will definetly please your springtime: on a side you will find the soulful boogie vibe of mr d aquino with >she likes my body< and the dirty and rough street funk sound of newcomer artist e-dward!, while on b side you will experience the sunshiny and utopist slo-beat groove of the italian disco-don riccio and the obscure, freaked out, psychedelic and stripped down chicago-house track >saturday night< by our veteran jackers trio the clover. enjoy!

noir music comes up again with a deep & funky piece from kolombo (azuli, kittball, blufin, sk supreme) combined with a hot remix pack by daniel bortz (suol, be chosen, souvenir music), downtown party network (eskimo, loud east, bear funk) and fusty delights (different, wall of sound). soulful deep house music as its best.

soul jazz records are re-releasing their seminal retrospective on arthur russell.
since the initial groundbreaking release of >the world of arthur russell< five years ago, russell has become the subject of intense media interest. with the recent release of a film about his life (>a portrait of arthur russell<), as well as a new album of unreleased recordings, (>love is overtaking me<), arthur russells stature as a great artist has grown to is current height. (>one of the great songwriters of the 20th century< the wire).
