another 2 great artists featured on naked lunch records. mark williams is one of the most respected artists from the uk. he is truly a veteran, and he has paid his dues over more than two decades on the scene as a dj and producer. he released a staggering catalogue of quality tracks on some of the most respected techno labels in the world including: tortured, dark house, pure plastic, phont, primate, and carl cox?s ultimate trax imprint, to name a few. this time on naked lunch, he delivers 2 huge tunes, funky & hypnothic just how we like it. at this moment axel karakasis is internationally recognized as the best known greek techno dj for his full of energy 3 decks sets and featuring rigorous musical selection that portrays his style.after many years of hard work in the studio and together with spiros kaloumenos he launches omega audio recordings. having made omega audio a very respected label in the scene, axel is now channelling all his energy into his own brainchild, remain records. for naked lunch he specially prepared tetris & rebellion, both beeing played out by many djs, receiving great feedback.

along with number 60 in the highgrade catalogue there‘s a new producer team, joining the highgrade posse: markus schatz who scored so far with releases together with tom clark for highgrade and by himself on labels like opossum and freizeitglauben. he worked out this release with brett longman from paris, known from one of france‘s most prolific labels logistic rec. with „dope on plastic“ both start a dub and percussion rollercoaster- ride: the stripped down structure in the beginning unfolds seamlessly to a wildly grooving dub-inferno. similarly funky „push it“ continues this direction: dodgy fm-sounds meet weird synth bleeps plus a whole load of rhythm - the trackname is to be taken literally here! on the flip-side schatz & longman in „running“ are adding some fine dubby ingredients to there rhythm patterns, next exit detroit, one might say. moody without being cheesy, that‘s how we like it. „good vibes“ is zigzagging elegantly, with deep pulsating melodies worked together with an uplifting groove to a fast-paced and atmospheric track.

so this is how it sounds when osama is behind the decks somewhere in the afghan mountains... brilliant! too bad there are no women or booze allowed, or we d all be there. hot on the heels of the great mike burns release the rubber room guys are back with a new devil. taliban discotheque is a superb track, with a chorus you re not likely to forget after you heard it once. incredibly strong bassline, great percussion, thats all a good track needs! on the other side tonights the night is indeed a soundtrack for the night, this is going deep! essential for all you heads out there!

the soul clap boys from boston who come up with the next airdrop outing, outdoing themselves every single time. it’s becoming increasingly hard to hammer them down to a certain sound or aesthetic as their thirst for innovation is just unquenchable! >puppy crack< is a potent dance drug and should immediately be banned to avoid further brain damage. dripping into your drainage like some highly potent acid, the track breaks down into the wonkiest mayhem that clubbers ears have heard in a long time!for those who like it darker, the ragged >beat the puppy< tool is the one! not beating around the bush but rather beating the poor squelching animal, the track rages subliminally, gripping tight around the neck with a metallic beat that should have any old party dog wagging its tail rhythmically while the voice filters in causing uproar with its build-up.call in the ambulance and hope the doctor saving you when your overdose is mikael stavöstrand: he is just such a fine balancer and knows how to dose right: >puppy crack< becomes a deep entrancing affair with squelching noises and hypnotic synths that underline squeaking and clicking effects. slowly the whole affair culminates in an evil addiction you did not even notice you developed!

animal language is a new label from mason. having burst onto the scene with their groundbreaking ‘exceeder’, a tune that went on to destroying dance floors and tearing it up the charts in 2006, the foundations have been set for the dutch pairing of iason and coen to create a platform for more forward-thinking music. the mason sound follows a simple method. their understanding of melody and a canny ability to fuses it with technological know-how, sheer musicianship and dance floor savvy creates dance music for the thinking man, but not so clever to be alienating and dull

persistencebit returns with the follow up ep of wang incs meditations for a better world series, which first part on persistencebit has been highly acclaimed and has been given incredible reviews, such as in de.bug magazine among many others. previously on sonig, bip-hop, and context, he now reappears with number two of the series and once you start listening you will know it all makes sense, given how close in spirit wang inc. s fresh fusion of experimental treatments and funk-house grooves is laid down. throughout the ep, wang speckles his fabulous metal machine music with rolling bass lines, high-stepping beats, and brilliant splashes of synthetic colour, whether it s the pounding stepper mind the gap or the pulsating future-funk of you are late a near-perfect fusion of experimental and dance musics, hyperactive dog splatters its house-inflected steam-roller with showers of whirr and click, and animates it with snares that hit so hard they could chop your head off. in the closer track this is the song to say goodbye he brings us electronic noise and beat madness to round things up and create a diverse sounding listening experience

we re starting off the new year with a brilliant theatrical ep from an artist that rhythmically knows how to pluck the sinewy line between music and art. hailing from the mountains of hungary, laurine frost delivers a body of work that is deep, energetic and full of life. like the nocturnal depths of his landscape these songs conjure stunning and perplexing scenes of mystery and the unknown. through his composition and sound manipulations laurine s tracks resonate the dialectic between cultures and traditions and possesses an inventiveness and mysticism that spawns a maelstrom of turbulence and mirth.

fine arranged melodies from multiple sound sources, as stated in his biography, are the building blocks of which daniel mehlhart considers to be the essence of good music. putting what he preaches into practice has affirmed the 22-year-old swiss born, frankfurt am main resident, as one of the most exciting new talents in the underground tech-house movement. his most acclaimed release was the harp-tinged origami, released last summer on kindisch, which catapulted him into the record bags and charts of a slew of seasoned djs during the end of last summer. >scharade< is an example of young daniel sticking to what he does best, mixing and blending techno. atmospheres and sonic images while still animating an organic and natural vibe over the tracks. liberal amounts of percussion and a middle eastern or asian vocal dramatically pitched this tune beyond recognition watermark with a style and a vibe that he has helped to advance. the house roots of >distracted conscience< are present right from the onset. using a double pump kick to inject a pinch more of energy into the already flourishing habitat of off-kilter and spooky sound effects. so many in fact it is easy to see how he came up with the name, >distracted conscience<, as there are more effects floating around in this track than thoughts in the head of an 8-year-old who forgot his daily dose of ritalin. he turns to an ethnic vocal on >alura< again, but keeping the overall mood of this outing a bit deeper. he pulls out even more percussion instruments including extra shakers, toms and bongos all marching along harmoniously. this is a head down, hands-up, side-to-side bopper that just keeps quietly elevating as subtle elements are added and subtracted throughout the duration of the tune. a coherent composition and dj tool all in one. although this is his second release there are no signs of a sophomore slump anywhere in site, as daniel mehlharts talent lies in his unique, but subtle ability to gel different eleme

deep underground chicago staple of music played by the chosen few to the ones who truly know how deep it is. now its time for the masses to feel the real deepness of the true chicago 80s era of music. only ten percent of what happened here in the 80s, is known to the rest of the world. dont you want to be a member?

one foot in the groove show us, how deep their love is! smooth house-groover.

>was originally called <319 acid<, similar to 516 acid , but it was called 319 as i started this on march 19th 2007. after playing around with ideas, and effects, i had created a panning motion in the track which when listened to in headphones travels in a >counter clock< wise fashion. i was listening to a set of (dj) dixon and noticed how slow and groovy most of the set was, which influenced me to make a twisted, intense track that was in the same tempo range.< josh wink ! chirs liebing comes on board for the remix and keeps a lot of the key elements, but delivers a more in your face version

here comes part 2 of the tuxedo band from livio & roby. grand final evolved from a co-operation with george g. these guys really know how to work the crowd. truly a sure shot. in amonte is a deep and monotone track with a funky bassline and constantly changing percussive elements as well as bells and guitars which define the melodic theme. if the first part was right up your alley the second part will leave you flabbergasted. a simply huge release

neo-trance theme !!! angels of kindness are seesawing in their fluffy clouds while eavesdropping the new opus - and yes, one can easily call it an opus - of catekk. dunning the sound creeps up (up from the viennese flex club?) through this mundane labyrinth. muse awakened the apocalyptic riders with its kiss and instead of the twilight of gods you are served subtle grooves, which only admit zeus sharp lightning to pass through the thunderclouds of bass. thunderstorm and labyrinth makes, how could it else be? a markus lange remix, who obviously enjoyed remixing this big theme, while following catekks traces in the wind. whos still missing? yes, newbornchristians must be around, when it comes to remixes with the perfect relation between foolishness and intelligence.

the highgrade-collective welcomes a new member in its rows, marcus sur, who until now has released one ep on highgrade digital and contributed one track to the >our thing< label-compilation. as-well new on board is the berlin based simon beeston, coming to us from new zealand. it was high time to dedicate a various artists to the newbies, alongside with the old hands tom clark and daniel dreier. marcus surs >gold< heralds the ep hypnotically, simultaneously delivering the proof how perfect his tracks fit into the highgrade label-sound. welcome on vinyl, mr. sur! in the following simon beeston drags us with >idle housewives< into dark echo chambers, teasing with weird sounds, which finally melt together into to a unique groove. label-boss tom clark in alliance with daniel dreier use their >13 cookies< to explore, what happens if you lock two versatile producers like them into one studio. the result is nothing to sneeze at, a massive groove, which keeps three feet on the floor while having the head up in the clouds. adding another facet to this varied ep!

electric arguments is the first fireman album in 10 years, and this song based album couldnt be more different than its predecessors. for those who dont know by now, the fireman is a collaborative project between music icon paul mccartney and revered producer youth. the pair first worked together in the 90s when they made two ambient dance albums. originally the firemans identity was anonymous and was eventually revealed by the press as being paul and youth. in september it was announced that the fireman would this year release their first brand new material in a decade and this time there was a big difference - the duo had found their voice. speculation began, one studio insider was reported as saying the new songs sounds like arcade fire meets led zeppelin. certainly so far, anyone who has already heard the album has commented on just how accessible electric arguments is, compared to the first two fireman albums. this album is an eclectic and diverse collection of songs that show paul is still interested in pure musical possibilities. each track was written and recorded in the space of one day. the fireman went into the studio with no plan or clear direction of how they wanted the album to sound. the project took a life of its own and the results will surprise anyone expecting to hear the previous sound of the band.

if you secretly believe that all of the best dance music has an undercurrent of melancholy then you are in for a treat. 0.5, the debut ep from the fascination movement, doesn?t skimp on either the dancefloor rhythms or the windswept yes-we-remember-new pop romanticism. the fascination movement is looking forwards, not backwards: just because this is music that adapts the same vocabulary created by bands like new order or early orchestral manoeuvres in the dark doesn?t change the fact that from the first arpeggios of ?just pretend? you feel the shock of the new. of course, you may be too busy humming along to the choruses to notice how slyly the band makes a classic sound fresh again...

todd bodine demonstrates with this ep once again extraordenary taste and skills. after a very successfull excursion on claude van strokes mothership label and his activities as a heavily booked live-act and dj he presents on >unexpected life-form< two brilliant tracks, that seem to burst with their energy. todd bodine apparently has gained a lot of experience how to bunch the impact on both the dancefloor and the musical side and how to turn the result into a wall of sound. and hes doing it by following his own unique style. on the a-side >calypso< captivates you right after a few seconds with its pulsating sequences and a subtle growing energy-level from break to break. developing a drive which wont miss its impact on any floor. >snakeskin< on the flip is homogeneously build around shimmering melody-sequences which create the energy of this track, while the bassline below pulsates warm and deep. sounds like: detroit without kitsch. or like a cross between matthew johnson, robert hood and fabrice lig. to put it in other words: a typical todd bodine release in the best sense. allready a true highlight in the highgradecatalogue in 20

big with: xpansul, mandy, chris fortier, alexi delano, chris fortier, angel molina, miss kittin, iñaqui marín, maurice aymard, davide squilache, jay x, joy kitikonti, djulz,.. after a few months completely absorbed by pulshar, the dub project he shares with aphro, pablo bolívar comes back to regular with his most characteristic output: emotional electronica. and he does so with a powerfull and subtle ep. scifi winter tales: cold, fragile and deep techno. memories of a distant future... shadow machines : pablo keeps the pace at a cruising speed with a classy tracks only him knows how to do. but attention: at half track some strange arrangements appear. deep space sounds that send the music to another dimension

ffms premium label for deep & minimal sounds qualitative high above standard dance stuff is back from the summer break. traditionally lnz mastermind pascal feos himself lights the lnz release oven and adds his label cataloque with two endurance track runners. it may surprise, how airly the runner with starting number 1 floats through the colourful wood of golden october, cheered on by moogy mild hookline that strokes the drum body. from time to time the race track passes some clearings, the chilling atmosphere of pascal feos side-project aural float waves at the horizon. but then he trots on and on embraced by the feeling of runners high. with the racing number 2 the >generator child< starts athletic but thoughtful on his tom tom-dymanic soles, more and more leading into an 808-hypnotic run on black asphalt. a >generator child< speech sample trails off in the dusk and an lfo-spiralled veil of mist twirls over the head of the scared kid.

a brand new ep from the count & sinden, which showcases their love of all sorts of club music, from garage to r n b, from hip hop to grime. lead track hardcore girls is the sound of the much hyped baltimore breaks scene, evolved, displaced and mutated as only the count & sinden know how. fronted by the hottest thing out of b more since the wire, 17 year old wild child of the mike, rye rye. she has been touring the states with mia and, now signed to interscope, she is set to do big things. her unique and energetic vocal is treated to one of the duo’s best bumpy bass grooves and the combined effect is nothing short of devastating. another new school talent picked up on by the count & sinden is ny. bubbling on the uk underground, she fronts the hardcore, jungle inflected soul that is fool in love. this is pop music for the now and tomorrow, a classic love song set to a raucous jungle inspired backing track which has become a live favourite over the summer.finally we have jme, a legend in the grime scene, known for his tight flows, guest appearances and his boy better know franchise. industry gives an overview of the pit falls of getting involved in the trickiest of games... the music business. and who would want to get involved in that shit!?!

the young band cours de performance presents us their debut - release on phonothek. its called one! this varied and extremely good produced record tunes in the club season with a beat of a kettledrum. certainly you hear the influence of the three guys - berlin! the result is a super functional ep, which is played from friday until monday. hammerfall charmed with the warm synthie and the oily clap, which even let the crowd freaks out. white walls the fantastic hands up track, which you never will forget. the amazing song you are thee is definitely produced for the peak time and shakes the sound system with a playful kick. petre inspirescus trash is a small homage to sakadat, but the guys show us how to get more groove from the metaphysical - bomb. rise, listen and start to dance. were excited to hear more of course de performance

fresh fish presents an ep which is so far that you don t even notice how close it is. colombian paulo olarte is coming with a 4 tracker piece of vinyl to make you dance and and get you in touch with deep love. passion in the midpoint this beats and pads are gonna make you sweat. hypnotizing tracks of the latenight excursion class, featuring layers on layers to create a carpet of sound that slowly gets your mind to upper levels from which it s difficult to come back. the vocals let us imeditly think of “love on the street” and “solo tu” (including isoleé remix), last one raised quite a storm and was played in every afterhour all over the globe and appeared on many compilations like sven väths ibiza mix cd “the sound of the 8th season” or dinky’s “get lost” mix. so romantic has never left the hamburg label and it seems that it is here to stay. “tan lejos tan cerca” what else can we say

sawtooth - lately this term appears quite often and not only in reviews for the new dapayk solo album „devil’s house“. with „acid pornofski“ he demonstrates that the tracks on his album do not mark the end of the story. wrapped in a single release with „right here with me“ and „how low“ on the a-side you can see dapayk’s true colors on the very b-side. and of course it’s a lot easier to do so on a single. like back in the best days of rave you hear the endless modulation of a monstrous acidbassline. everybody who has experienced one of dapayk’s live pas knows how sweaty these sets are about to end. and for the last few months „acid pornofski“ is neither seldom nor randomly the peak
