excellent detroithouse classic back from 1991

transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

dennis ferrers the world as i see it album is still being listened to and its tracks are still being played, hence the remixes are gonna keep on comin… one of the most memorable tunes from the album, run free, is seeing remixes by 2 very distinct and quality remixers oddly found at opposite ends of the earth. uks sean mccabe debuts his talent for king street after having had past remixes and productions released on soulfuric deep, fluential, device, soundmen on wax, tony records and more. his chunky beat-filled interpretation of this single has a tough enough bass drum and nice enough funky key jabs as to keep the great energy flowing but not overpower the song. japanese-nyc transplant producer tomo experience grooves and soothes the eardrum. his easy kicks and lightly bouncing bassline puts a nice spin on this tune, all the while kt brooks (r.i.p.) fervent vocal laying atop the 2 re-product ions. check out these cool remixes for great measure and greater flow.

responsible for this tartelet release is debutant mhm one aka morten halborg-møller. he s a local lad from copenhagen who has decided to give something back to the world of electronic music that he loves so much. before he decided to sit in the producer chair, he spend huge amounts of time on his copenhagen based kill your telly promotion. a promotion which has more than 5 succesful years on it s back and has featured a huge tally of big name bookings. said promotion at which he started out his djing career resulting in him being one of the most sought after djs in denmark. being the creative and gifted spirit that he is, music and clubbing is not the only thing that keep him occupied. he also expresses himself via visual artwork earning the fourth spot in the renowned graphic art collective that is bottega areté.... and oh yeah ...did we mention what a nice bloke he is? a1: the a side features a funky little groover that will fit well into a club where punters prefer to dance. the track is build around a playful bassline hook accompanied by a simple and catchy vocal (by who made who member tomas hoffding) a really sweet minimal workout for sure, that really does the trick. b1: on the flip side we get served a dish of bass heavy house. this time it s dutch house supremo melon who sorts out the remix treatment and turns bubububadub into a tribal ish affair. suited for big clubs? check. sexy? check. playable? very much so.

a new project from hot drum & bass producer spor, feed me aims to delve into the darker, twisted side of electronica. big thrashy synths and crazy production fill these tracks with an air of insanity. both tracks have been causing serious damage in festivals the world over when dropped by mau5trap main man deadmau5 this summer. this is an amazing debut from feed me and he is one to definitely keep an eye out for in 2009…

dan is a german producer and dj with impeccable taste. previous output for highgrade has been superb and he has some amazing stuff due to drop on moon harbour (where he takes care of promotions in fine style) so hairy claw have handpicked him for the first release of 2008. deep, groovy and with just the right amount of drive, xibeca is a mordern house cut of the highest order. supernature and tsuba artists bearweasel take the techier elements of dans original and twist them into a flowing techhouse cut too - so theres something for the heavier crowds too. there are big things afoot with hairy claw, we ll keep you posted.

limited upfront promos, asante records are back with a massive new release. japanese touch is gracing our pages this week. yoshihisa hashimoto lived in new york for five years from 1998, immersing himself in nys underground house music scene. he still considers new york home but returned in 2003 to bring his new found style and music to tokyo. his ny influences have combined with his tokyo roots to creat e a unique style, guaranteed to keep the clubbers happy and into his music. yoshihisa is organising, promoting & djing at “,breath tokyo”, one of the best club nights in tokyo and leading tokyo under ground house music. the location is club air, one of the top clubs in japan. well known for an impressive back catalogue of worldwide artists and djs, air creates the perfect space for clubbers to lose themselves in the soulful music. its also arguably japans most famous club, thanks to the movie lost in translation

itamar sagi from the be as one label really made a name for himself with his black gold track that was released earlier this year. inspired by the warmer and more emotional side of detroit techno he very much captured something real and true in that song which certaintly paid off in the end. here he has done something a bit different. not less good though. actually better. this is a record for those moments when you need to increase the pace but still wants to keep the soul. perfect!

axel karakasis is the main man in the groovy techno scene these days. with numerous releases on upfront labels like patterns, yin yang, omega, techhead, adult and many more he is building his impressive discography. the funky greek decided to keep the best tracks for his own imprint remain. 3 solid rocking technobombs is what to except. rolling like a train on full speed. no stops, just full speed all the way.. try to keep standing still on this bomb!

sharon jones & the dap kings gelten zurecht als die soul und funkband unserer tage. nach erfolgreichen zusammenarbeiten mit mark ronson, amy winehouse, kenny dope gonzales (maw) u.a. erscheint im herbst ihr neues album, 100 days, 100 nights! sharon zeigt sich darauf so soulful wie nie und die dap kings grooven momentan so oder so alles in grund und boden. im ergebnis irgendwo zwischen sensation und meilenstein!

mark e is simply unstoppable at the moment!! this is the fourth release in about 2 months and they just keep getting better… two epic slo-mo edits on jisco it is then. those of you that might remember the >smilling / for love< 12inch, this is in a similar sort of vein. slow, chuggy, with a gradual build-up thats tantalisingly sweet! as with all jiscomusic releases, this is highly limited so grab one quick!

supported by mia, ada, krause duo, ruede hagelstein, jake the rapper, daniel dreier, gianni vitiello. their latest works came out from sessions they did together with mademoiselle elle p (musician and singer from berlin). the tracks they recorded do not remind being mostly improvised. they all breathe a vivid groovieness, are full of musical experiences flavored with vocal lines and snippets. >tricks< on side a presents perfectly the deep sub-bass driven minimal techhouse being popular in 2008. >turteltaube< and >anja< on side b play cheeky with our todays techno behavior, but do not lose musical deepness. they are funky and playful, yet always under control to keep on minimizing

tom moulton is one of the most important people in the history of dance music. from inventing the first ever 12inch single to remixer to the stars, the trademark a tom moulton mix is a mark of quality given to only the finest records from grace jones seminal la vie en rose to the million selling mfsb disco anthem love is the message, to over 4000 remixes.

deadmau5 is on fire again with this huge vocal electro house track i remember featuring kaskade. the haunting vocal of kaskade has you a million miles away whilst the space age keys and tight rhythm keep you locked in. for anyone not fond of vocals there is a handy instrumental in the package too..

hardcore classic repressed with original tracklisting incl. black nights new style bomb of the 90 back to tha o school

played by jesse rose, incl, monster-remix by frankie !! well, it might be frozen up north, but that doesn’t stop jussi-pekka to keep the jackers coming! our man from nokia has a long list of releases, and his first release for floppy funk is another cracker. >regression< is a magic old school slightly acid house track. >depression< is more modern and techno, keeping a deep edge. the >regression< remix courtesy of frankie (the man who keeps jackin and freakin with his franke label) is another fine crazy tune to go nuts!

the music label kann was founded by map.ache (jan barich), sevensol (alex neuschulz) and bender (dennis knoof). kann will mainly release own music but also productions from varied artists. musically kann is defined by modern dance music but with an individual approach to the music. despite the label owners have different musical origins. kann wants to combine their unique styles to a common ground. kann compasses a freedom with lots of possibilities and individual profile at the same time. it creates the base of the creative work of all contributors who cannot keep their hands of music...everything kann!!!!

the very best of chemical brothers !! limited edition 2xlp - push the button !

neues label aus griechenland, mit axel karakasis, dj mika und vortechtral sind die richtlinien klar vorgegeben! innervate records is started at the begining of 2008. label is the brainchild of bosnian techno master dj mika who is allready known to alot of techno fans around the world. he did some storming releases on labels such as mastertraxx, planet rhythm, pirate audio, definition, submissions, yin yang etc. idea of the label is to keep pure techno growing as it deserved in all his forms. label will mainly work with known names in todays techno scene, but it will be also the tool for promoting upcoming producers who deserves to be promoted

hot on the heels of the fantastic guy j ‘geko’ bedrock keep up the pressure with a storming release from techno maestro christian smith. this techno tinged 2 tracker, will delight both house and techno heads alike as christian brings his trademark sound of days gone by, back up to date with fantastic results. with its beautiful pads rising over a hypnotic bassline and chunky percussion, ‘flyer talk’ is a driving melodic builder guaranteed to have the floor on fire. on the flipside we have ‘friendly skies’ which takes on a similar vibe with more of a hook. the big funky bassline is going to make it tough to choose between which one to play! – my advice: play them both!

crazy retrostyled electropop tracks... incl rmxs by adriano canzian, mount sims, the scandals... schwefelgelb is a hot band from the underground ready to spread their tunes not regarding any genre borders. too special to sign a label so that they just release on their own and keep on doing whatever they want! and that means to create a very fresh mixture of different styles like electro and punk! this very pretty designed 12inch seems to be exactly the desirable piece for the grown up wave heads, as well as for the new generation of young and punky club kids.
