this is the second release on kompass musik from berlin based duo marcel jochmann and alex krüger aka antilope & tigerskin. their first 12 on our label has been released in january 2007 and received massive support and club plays from djs twice around the globe. now, we are happy to present to you another fresh e.p. of these nice guys from germany’s capitol featuring three stunning tracks which hopefully will again earn respect and love from djs and clubbers across the continents. we are sure you’ll like them as we do. nowadays it’s almost impossible to name a musical category, but lets say that this is quality electronic club music. not too minimal, not too noisy, a well dosed portion of forward pushing elements that will work perfectly on your floor. an exciting mixture of techno and house at its best

its been a productive month for the mood ii swing boys. the follow up to last months passing time, a collaboration with vocalist lauren, is a fantastically deep disco record that moves and shakes along with the best of them. the bouncy, wobbling bassline of the main mix simply demands to be grooved to, while laurens husky vocal glides along the airy pads and cheeky synth stabs. the dub foregoes the bassline of the original, opting instead for a more top heavy sound and taking the record in a pleasantly techy direction

mas que nada must be one of the biggest summer anthems of all time, if not the biggest of them all, with countless covers and versions recorded and released over the years. if you have been searching for the definitive version to play this summer and many summers to come, look no further, as hollands hottest house producer gregor salto has created a version that not only puts his own fantastic production skills in the limelight, but also showcases the wonderful helena mendes, who delivers an amazing interpretation of jorge ben&#146,s original. gregors respect to the master mix is what can only be described as a perfect summer record, and it works as well by the pool at sundown as on the floor at 2am. gregor is fusing favela funk style beats, batucada percussion with helena mendes soft but yeat energetic latinjazz, and with this deadly combination of styles, he has created a solid dancefloor monster. straight up summer madness! with this release on slip n slide, ericke repays the favour and delivers a storming club mix that combines latin driven electro house beats with balearic piano chords that works beautifully with the vocals and keeps the ibiza vibe of gregors version. further remixes on this package comes from hollands dj madskillz and spains jesse garcia, who with releases on roger sanchez stealth label amongst others is carving a name out for himself as the self styled king of tribal house.

the quake has a completely fresh sound, not strictly breaks, house or electro, but possessing elements of all 3 genres, its about the groove, warm synth work and the phonat style cut up female vox. splank! favourite malente provides the remix action for this single. having released the 2 & only on splank! last year alongside sometime production cohort (lars) moston, this year has also seen malente release his fourth studio album on unique records how can you still stand to stand still, and more recently he has remixed coburn. the remix takes a 4/4 route, as malente keeps many of the original parts, but re arranges them into his original production style, and creates an absolute monster that goes into overdrive after the drop.

yes! format b are finally back with their second release on stil vor talent. after massive tracks on opposum and highgrade rec, their newest ep on stil vor talent is another huge minimal monster. kongo time is typical for the two berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum n bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. its definitely going to make you trip out for sure! on the flip its the funky mondo time that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. a huge organic subbass and some chopped-up vocal sample add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4:00 you really won t be able to hold your feet still. format b are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!

minimal techno / breaks from e.r.p. one half of them is gerard hanson aka convextion , nice athmospheric tech tracks >> ltd repress

kaskade recently did some massive remixes of david morales here i am and pussycat dolls dont cha. kaskade is a special breed of house star, one who has increased in popularity over the past few years in an industry where most of the major players have at least a decade (often two) of stardom behind them. sorry is taken from kaskades third album love mysterious. though his trademark melodies, sensual vocalists, and emotionally driven sound remains intact, love mysterious is a bolder production and reflective of kaskade s growing acclaim and popularity worldwide. man of the moment dirty south did an amazing job on the remix, that rocked almost every party at miamis winter music conference

marc antona makes his mobilee debut with this agile, wiry three-track ep . best known until now for his records for paris >freak n chic< label marc builds on the mobilee sound you have come to expect, with well-oiled rhythms, delicate pings and sub-bass rumble that knocks your feet out from under you. >one more sugar< rides along a loose-limbed groove splashed with bright arpeggios that rain down like liquid diamonds. ragged hi-hats aflare, tension builds and breaks like a ripped flag catching crosswinds. the track stretches toward the horizon, throwing up rolling hills and gliding down them as naturally as a champion cyclist. understated funk that packs a hidden punch...

big with: ian pooley, dj deep, hernan cattaneo and nic fianciulli !! its the sound of summer 2007 and its hot on the heels of our widely travelled fifth release, we are proud to present ork006: the walkabout ep, three tracks of beautifully produced deep electronics with acidic touches,brilliant percusive grooves and infectious hooks from fastrising dutch duo, nick hogendoorn and eelke kleijn. ork joint chiefs-of-staff, mark o sullivan(dk7) and fish go deep, have been road testing all three tracks to great response recently: we think youll dig them too.... walkabout: haunting chords a gripping groove surrounded by an acid bass hook and a suggestive vocal hook

its been well over a year since front rooms last offical release (look out for deadsets >keep quite< & lost property for some undercover front room action). here the label bounces back with two prime-time cuts from riva starr (aka madox), here wearing his jackin house hat, he shows why both front room & dirty bird are supporting his releases. picking up on the sound of jesse rose, switch and claude vonstroke, while getting plays by them all at the same time. look out for future releases by riva starr on front room very soon.

burn me up will appeal to a wide house music audience including all those catch that love stuff from jesse rose, switch and those cats, its nasty but nice! endor has been played and approved several of times by raoul belmans and is just one of those light and funky tunes that are really hard to get out of your head when you hear them. last but not least we have get down, rock it out which brings the 80s partyvibe right back at your doorstep like they were never gone

the acos coolkas was found in 2001 in omsk russia. the influence of projects as space and cerrone made them to write tracks with space topic and slow dance rhythm. their first maxi on forcetracks contains two tracks, flowing drums, nice melodies, the touch of the 80ties transformed in electro techhouse hightechsound. and a more minimal mix by st. petersburgs dj oleg wave

the long a-side is reserved for bülent gürler and his project bee-low. >the hidden noise< is a neo-detroit-screw of the plus 8-hawtin school in a very popular plank of the minimal-rave. a track like evolution. antonelli digs, as >random aficionado<, a handful of melodies deep under a rave that is hardly recognizable as such one. he removed the snare completely in favor of a more effective feeling of the song. that s the way deep-house should sound and the way you always imagined it. no frowst, no references, just clear warm water. martin hirsch, alias deer, lived in devon (uk) for a long time and was an immediate neighbor of lee norris, also known as norken or metamatics. recently, the two of them have revived the connaisseur label neo ouija and that will surely do good for the cultural environment. and they have decided to start a long-ranging cooperation in terms of producing records. an outcome is >beyond the breeze<, a piece of house music whose title couldn t be more precise... sasse, giles smith, jeff milligan, laurent garnier

as label boss gilbert says about this new versatile outing: i:cube is a prolix producer : some weeks, the cube used to bring me 4 or 5 outlines tracks, always amazing ! i played them sometimes in my dj sets, or shared them with my producers friends. there was always a nerd to ask me what is it… few years later, i decided to compile these unfinished -or not wanted to be released by the artist- tracks in a new versatile collector serie : >les archives cubistes<. re-edited for some, released without modification for others, they show the evolution of this amazing producer, who explores since a decade different styles but always with his typical sound. for this first volume, two techno tracks. deep end, composed in 1999, could be a >news of the week< as it sounds so current… latecala (under maurizio influence) was composed in 2000, to test a new studio gear (a multi effect)… versatile, some years after, delivers you the result. a few 12inch will follow… in different styles. be aware! limited pressing and special artwork by the excellent designer >machine< !

>if i am the one – then ill be the one!< there is absolutely no reason for false modesty as far as hamburgs currently irresistible dj weapon is concerned. the 26 year old, moscow born xenia beliayeva has had regular releases since 1996 and since her >kill them all<-nights in the hamburg gum club, in which she regularly introduces her own lyrics, she is known as one of the hottest insider tips for german djs. after xenia included an incomparably sensual component in her celebrated >ultra glamour ep< last summer, she also showed her remixing skills, as the first producer of the datapunk platform, together with her co-producer andre winter aka motion unit (confused rec) recently in datapunk limited with >dont worry<-remix the rotherschen super space model-hits. >hellraiser< perhaps the most compellingly exclusive track on the play! 01-mix-cd released by oliver huntemann only a few weeks ago, will finally be available on vinyl

1st in a limited edition of 10 x 10inch brought to you by the nature loving minilogue, every record comes with another dreamimal. perfect music, perfect artwork you got to get them all !!

three is the magic number! as a matter of fact the third installment in the koop remix series brings you not only some more floor friendly reworks of everyone’s favourite transvestite jazzers but at least two sureshot bangers! on the a side we got the mighty drumlesson remix by christian prommer. the producer of fauna flash and voom:voom fame picks up the bonus beats of the album to transform them into a 7 minute tech jazz meets classic house workout that drags drum rhythm a kicking and screaming onto the dancefloor.the b side once again sees beanfields remix of i see a different you but this time sweet singer yukimi nagano gets left behind on the excursion to detroit. and yes, the much requested instrumental version sounds even better without the vocals! last but not least there is a nice version of lets elope by sirs also known as gucciman or daniel klein, co founder of flamingo discos. he pushes the right buttons to build a grooving deep house tune around the warm vocals of mikael sundin. so, lets elope today with koop

back in 1998 this was probably just about the wrongest record you had ever heard…and it has to be said that not much has changed. forshaw has a knack of turning out ridiculously hard and mangled electro and techno tracks – but still managing to make them sound >poppy<. sometimes, as in the case of rockford for example, it is because he uses well recognisable (but unexpected) samples. but more often it is just because he manages to make tunes (no matter how hard) that make you stop gurning and start smiling

pinknoize are a fresh production duo from west london with this release seeing them lay down some dancefloor friendly grooves which get locked into a soulful cycle of talking synths and playful percussion. like morgan geist topped up with a big dose of glitch juice and a bit of skandi- disco flavour thrown in, radical specs will suit funk lovers with its drunken grooves and space-laden atmospheres. high grade big-wig tom clark leaves all the big noises at home and turns up with an introspective almost sarcastically playful minimal work-out on his rmx while hot talent lee mortimer turns in an altogether more cranking and snarling electro tinged house mix, stretching the squelches and bleeps of the original over a dance floor friendly banger.

with traces of melancholy and mystique, the modern and peculiar sound of saso recyd from macedonia has been captivating the attention of the pikiest of techno consumers in the past decade. saso has been working hardly on developing his own distinguishable sound which is coming along with phenomenal feedback. so it s no surprise that protagonists like patrick lindsey, marc romboy and even detroit s john acquaviva have picked up these tunes to play them frequently. besides this record release you should watch out for saso s upcoming release on definitive records too!

first release from the athens based label that takes off with a very solid and impressive 12 inch. electro housers phatjak give us a deep, strong and hypnotic track with all usual elements that made them known. on the flip holy lands brisker & magitman turn the track to a peak time killer ready to shake any dancefloor. for the likes of eric prydz, chris lake, d-nox & beckers!

nice price deal !!! road sound like massive attack going on a trip to brazil and africa, taking with them the soul of terry callier and the raw funk of gorillaz. it is a unique collaboration of musicians from backgrounds ranging from industrial funk to brazilian fusion, using instruments from berimbau and surdo to hurdy gurdy, moog and double bass. featuring vocals by valerie etienne (galliano, lucy jules, terry callier, and earl zinger the road crew deconstruct music to its roots, and rebuild it with no respect for pedestrians. the result is an infectious, fresh debut album which is to be announced for may 2007. as a first teaser there will be the single release of >my name< which features lorna brown on vocals. the track comes in 2 mixes which have been both produced by road and just show their versatile approach for modern urban music

we come accross suffocating moments, sick jazz in a minimalistic key, sparks of extreme, evolutive, interlaced intensity that eventually create futurisms and bring them close to the listener. intensity, restlessness, hypnosis and vibration could define this first tupperwear release in klitekture. this ep extracted from their album >beton insel< is, most of all, a true surprise box, as you will not be able to predict by which roads will the following twist in this permanently progressing and changing evolution, theres where a very significant part of its assets and its own goal reside. complexly and simply brutal. this ep edition released on vinyl contains a remix crated by lod from gas usa, a debilitating declaration of intentions by tupperwear that under lods concept aquires a smother tone than the original going from the tupperwear demolish actitude to a more repetitive structures

niki b & chrstian e.f.f.e. grew up with the legendary tuscany sound championed in the nineties by italian masters francesco farfa & miki. since then this electronic duo rides the progressive influenced house music world,they gained solid respect from the scene leaders and have released several records for saw, stereo, renaissance, mantra vibes, audio therapy which brought them to dj worlwide and spread their trippy grooves and futuristic melodies to wider audiences of music fanatics. hell yeah is proud to bring you the question and fatman, future sounds from a nation gone too minimal..

eigentlich dachte man ja das john andersson und johan emmoth aka zoo brazil schon erreicht haben was musiker so anstreben aber mit diesem wahnsinns-album hier setzen sie noch ordentlich einen drauf !!

i dont have much to say about the dahlbacks. jesper is one of my best friends, even though he is a serious pain in the ass. john made 6 records in the time it took you to read this sentence....and he just turned 11. every once in a while they take about 40minutes out of their hectic schedule (john stops making records...to make a record, while jesper take s a break from the grueling demands of being a condo association manager) to make a record for turbo. in all honesty i think they give me the tracks they forgot about..... cuz you know if they really loved them they would keep them for their own lame labels. so, instead i leave you with the music. 3 tracks that prove again that somehow, against all odds, when you put cousins in a studio they bring out the best in each other. jespers maverick genius and time-honed wisdom tempers johns youthful passion and naive exuberance.. while johns youngbrain redefines the game and reenergizes the old master. the two cousins locked in a dance that continually blurs the lines between student and teacher, a sonic sibling rivalry a musical match with one clear winner ....you!!

rmxs by t. raumschmiere / leandro gamez / adriano canzian... once again, in mad dildo we have been splashing out on dirty princess, with this third onslaught of pure madridstyle cryptic prowess we have the reverencial and indomitable might of: t.raumschmiere (shitkatapult / berlin), adriano canzian (porno studio/milano) leandro gámez (circle music/madrid) the philosophical expression of this mystically imbued elixir will entrance all, into a post religiuos extatic state and elevate them to the most empirical electrouterinarian sin. what better than another offering of our fresh filth, to illustrate our euro-iberian ireverence

remix-package to one of the biggest wir hits. newcoming talent kab shows some severe skills with a tight remix that keeps minilogues hooklines in shape but introduces them to its unique world of magical flow while pulling off the impossible, he creates a masterbuilder being tense and tender at the same time. jichael mackson on the other hand constructs a relaxed groove rich in texture, pushing the sounds further and further until the final climax while tracing the original material rather emotionally then rationally. minilogue themselves round off the package with a beautifully dashed ambient version

james murphy a.k.a. lcd soundsystem releases second album >sound of silver<, it includes the new single <north american scum> and 8 other brand new tracks

you re still not taking yourself seriously.on the journey to discover new tracks you trip over a few disco-balls, find an irresistable melody, dance briefly with abba, are trapped by chic, free yourself and then also rob them/it (???) of a super-bassline. next you travel to the outskirts of berlin to dowse for / apply the divining rod to find fresh, unused talent. the discovery responds to the name c.l.i.c. and turns a discohymne into a little rave-monster. now add to the whole made-up story the fact that you leave the remixing to an old friend. he makes a >6am, the sun rising, tickling your nose and making you scream< track out of it. the name of the mysterious unknown: oliver koletzki. conclusion: you re still not taking yourself seriously. why should you? >fitzelkrtschbungbritzelbratzel< is just ruling everything. a counter-design is urgently needed. the world s serious enough

the master of simplicity is back on with his second release on karmarouge. the story behind the titel goes like this. saint patrick was a christian missionary and is regarded as the patron saint of ireland. he banished the snakes from ireland and some irish people say that human snakes replaced them. sian asks himself if we might need a new modern saint patrick? the a-side track >stegosaurus< is a creepy, slow builder and melodic track, somewhat like a placid dinosaur. >merman< on the b-side is a more melancholic, angelic theme with hidden melodic patterns and messages. born in dublin ireland, raised gypsy style in southern spain, sian, aka graham goodwin has worked in music since the age of 17. now 28, he has produced and released electronic music consistently and has worked with diverse artists during this period. his productions are arty, unique and childlike simple, he works with sounds as blocks of bright colour and makes music for both the club and mind simultaniously. sian believes that electronic music is more than just an interesting theory, it shapes lives and his dj sets are well known for sweat, eclecticism and positive energy

rush hour limited presents san propers amsterdam family series. this is a series where he teams up with known and unknown producers from amsterdam. although new to the production game san proper has been djing in the amsterdam club scene for years. over the last ten years, he has been spinning in all the major clubs, bars and lounges in and around holland. san is well known and praised for his house and disco sets as well as for blending a lot of different styles into an eclectic mix. on this 12, the second in the series, he collaborates with tom trago, who produced the well received live with the bbq (rh ltd 009). they ve create two mid tempo house burners, just the way we like them. while catterpillar blues is a upbeat discofied love affair, love flue is a haunting afro disco flavoured groove

guns n bombs is made up of filip nikolic aka turbotito, a profilic musician (whose music projects include ima robot, ludo x, and junior senior) and johnny love (one of chicagos most notorious party promoters and djs). during one party, they bonded over mutual love of early rave, minimal techno, chicago jack, acid tracks, and the cybernetic broadcasting system. nothing is getting us anywhere is a vocal track mixing all these influences leading to an apocalyptical path through rhythm. crossover appeal is instrumental but strong as : let the rhythm hit them ! robot music for daft punks. dirty sounds from l.a. via chicago = mosh on the dancefloor !

no need to introduce mazi & david duriez one more time, even those new in the house music business should have heard of them, the real chicago – paris connection. they have developed their own labels at the same time, gourmet & brique rouge, they built their carreers at the same time but this is only the second time, and surely not the last, that they go together in the studio. 2 great new mixes by systematics marc romboy and phonogenic

the original battle 12 was released almost exactly a year ago, but its taken 12 months for them to release henry smithsons astonishing take on the other half of that release. thankfully it was worth the wait. monster wasnt your typical lindstrom production in the first place, but now riton has thoroughly rewired it as a dynamic electronic house circuit, referencing the norwegian disco style with slight choral parts, tight string stings and keyboard arpeggios. the whole effect is very much greater than the sum of these parts, executed as it is with a rigorous attitude
