big with martinez , loco dice, karotte, gregor tresher, jimster, johnny d, audiofly, lemos, anthony collins, nick curly, gorge, ray okpara, marc romboy,.. after his release together with pablo cahn, londons hype artist hector is back on 8bit with his own single. massive support from all key djs

this new ep retraces ceephaxs history and its very own personal and genious way to appropriate a musical style with always such generosity. from the dubstep of souley man, the sunset dancefloor hit bacardi breezer, the drum n bass track dona hue, the break bit track turrican 2 to ticker train, an acid bomb that defies anybody to not let themselves get carried away by these wild bpm.

it was only a matter of time. two genre-defining artists together ... pop music and dance musics most famous arbiters of taste, collaborating at last. dj hells >u can dance< is an interpretation of an unreleased bryan ferry song, but its one that reflects a perfect melding of two distinct personalities, a record that sounds as if the voice and music were made for each other.
hell, of course, has been riding high on the success of >teufelswerk<, his masterpiece of a double album, a journey replete with fruitful experiments and club bombs. one that has yielded both massive hits and not a tiny bit of controversy along the way. ferry, meanwhile, has been as busy as ever—recording a new album, performing in places as far afield as siberia, opening up the cannes film festival ... basically just being bryan ferry.
and now here they are together ... it all started in 2006 when hell dropped in to meet ferry at his west london studio. at first they discussed hell remixing an old roxy music track, and then it turned into something else - something new (u can dance).
they had similar impressions of one another — hell: >i was impressed by his aura and his look.<, ferry: >he impressed us with his sophistication and charm.< fast forward a few years later, and hell is hard at work on teufelswerk and putting the finishing touches on the aforementioned song titled >u can dance<, a serpentine moroder-esque disco burner. with the help of old friend peter kruder, of kruder and dorfmeister fame, hell fashioned the song into a smoldering nine-minute highlight of the double disc set, in which ferry turns in a typically assured vocal performance.
ferry may seem like an unexpected fan of dance, but hes been going to clubs since he was a teenager, and in his lengthy career hes worked with legends such as nile rodgers of chic and david williams from michael jacksons band. >its always a pleasure to work with people from that genre, who follow a singular groove.<
the single follows in the wake of hells >the dj feat. p. diddy< which has won over floors and critics alike with its nearly 30-minute radio slave remix and fine work from the likes of deetron, jay haze and others. on >u can dance< hell and ferry have similarly pulled out all the stops for the remixes, gathering up work from the grammy-nominated producer carl craig, dfa mainstay tim goldsworthy and pop electro superstars simian mobile disco.

every year hundreds of thousands of dance records are being made and released. with the output from dance producers at an all-time high and with so many records crossing over it takes something a bit special to break-through from underground groover to worldwide mover. 2010 is the year of >sidney samson – riverside (lets go!)< on data records.
the facts above dont lie, this isnt just a dance record, its a dancefloor phenomenon and theres good reason for the comparisons with >day & night< by kid cudi vs. crookers and fedde le grands infamous >put your hands up for detroit<. its got exactly the same appeal and has had exactly the same effect, i.e. unstoppable support and praise from the coolest underground djs all the way up to the global superstar djs and via every european summer holiday resort. sidney samson is a name you simply cannot ignore right now.

played by: gorge, hosh, alex keji, nick warren, agoria, coyu, oliver klein, osunlade...

the eps title track baltic pine bounces an elastic bass with a punch whilst its magical melody evolves out of the groove, taking you skipping away until it breaks into a ebullient cacophony of accordion, piano and brass.

thanks to the blinding fabric live mix and a series of highly entertaining interviews the demand for new omar-s product is now at an all time high. hes on top form here with three fresh cuts representing his sound to the fullest. opening track flying blind is a must have for fans of the deeper omar s tracks like psychotic photosynthesis. following that up is still serious nic which is probably my favourite track on the record, its got that heavily monged out raw omar-s machine vibe to it. things straighten out a bit on the b-side thanks to the smoothed out vocal house of left him up. then it finishes off with the deep house of flying gorgars. once again omar-s proves hes too steps ahead of the deep house pack. essential

mixes by stefano noferini and matteo marini!

support comes from: karotte, david squillace, jay haze, audiofly, tiefschwarz, 2000and one, shinedoe, solomun, anthony collins, kreon, marc romboy, gorge, nick curly , m.a.n.d.y. .. 8bit release their second part of the their various artist serie on the label. a strong three tracker with tracks from simon baker, butch and ali kuru

we are very excited to present the first release on brand new label doppler records and it comes courtesy of jacksonville, an artist who continues to delight & surprise in equal measure & who delivers quality tracks every time. the trix ep is an eclectic 3 tracker which showcases jacksonvilleÆs versatility. it ranges from analogue synth-driven deep tech to smile inducing disco-fueled deep house & cheeky, bass-heavy tech house. doppler records is a new underground label releasing the very best in house music. their aim is to bring our sound to the dance floor without sacrificing groove, melody, warmth or originality. jacksonville co-founded uk labels advance & sensei, producing & remixing tracks for both labels & appearing on many compilations, most notably sashaÆs global underground ibiza mix. after leaving the labels he took a bit of a break, then returned as mecanique, putting out tracks on plastic city, toolroom trax, district of corruption (berlin) & slave recordings. jacksonville is the latest project.

a killer clubby groove from steve marshall û the kind that reminds us of the best indie singles from the late 70s disco years! steve plays alto sax here over a strutting, high stepping rhythm thats got plenty of warm touches û really glowing with a sense of soul thats great, and touched by some female chorus vocals that are very much in a philly mode! the disco mix is great û even more upbeat and extended than the 45 groove. in the country is a great bit of club jazz û smooth and sweet, but still with a snakey flute line in the middle û almost like some lost bobbi humphrey track from her epic years. do what you will is another chorus vocal number û and you are the world features some laidback mellow flute.

mufo has garnered attention a few years ago with his c.l.a.u.d.i.a. 12-inch for kompakts k2 imprint, and sounds set to do so again with colors. anything but monochromatic, >one color< opens with stripped-down, tech-house swing before adding shuffling pulses and melodic accents that are both jittery and robotic. working itself up to a skittish, metronomic broil, the track exudes an android relentlessness that?s offset by repeated change-ups. on the b-side, di francesco brings the funk on >two colors<, six minutes of swizzling electro-techno whose palette is anything but muted. the tune squawks and sputters like some incessantly sneezing synthesizer apparatus in what could pass for a fractured 23rd-century techno take on zydeco. with this release in hands, its again proven without a doubt, that persistencebit continues the global hunt for quality. supported by: robert leiner (www.leinermedia.net): >good use of the korg wavestation on both< andrew duke (andrew duke in the mix radio brodcast since 1987): >excellent my favourite track is one color< ryaz khan (ww.chry.fm / myspace.com/diversionsradioshow): >solid release i love both cuts<xpansul (minus,plus 8 records): >two colors is great. thanks.<

2001 classic by noferini on italian loud bit imprint!! double 12inch release including mixes by montanari & ruberto, corline, ricky birickyno and master dub!!

bongard problems is classic cornish influenced breakbeat techno with squidgy roland bass and 8 bit dirt percussion. motion studies is a swingy non linear acid disco trip with moody chord backdrops and some unexpected twists and turns along the way. pixel wrap is medieval echo techno with inhuman voices that give way to a late 80s rave breakdown that builds up into something else again. excalibur is a camelot techno galloper, complete with arthurian lyrics. blank expanse is the kind of music depeche mode ought to be making if they hadnt turned into u2.

green velvet cover version with cool mixes by noferini and matteo marini!!

2004 classic! pumping acid electro house with groove guerilla singer nicole hadfield. on the flip a driving techouse tune from gorge & nick curly.

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

need something to lift up your mood and move your feet? found it! perfect pushing tribal vibes do all of that and sometimes even a bit more ... thanks to elton d & snoo!

all these tracks are made for the floor, in other words, made purely fordancing. rather dry compressed but driving beats combined with sweatygrooves work like a charm and the whole mixture goes fluidly anddeliciously down like the very best vintage barolo harvested at the peaktime and offering altogether more testosterone than those blue littlepills. everlasting love! another quality production brought to you bysenator recordings.

50hz is back with another killer!! the jackin sound is still popular and 50hz is one of the leading labels in the scene. jamie b prooves it once again with a track full of jackin beats and vocals. dj robain is new on the label and takes a bit harder.. jack nation repressenting with a jackin beat that bounces from left to right and last but not least ben long finishes the ep in true style. this one is big!!

last time we got hertz on q-records we did not only sell a lot of records, dj misjah and adam beyer also used the tracks on mix-cds. this time he is back, fresh for 2008. the a-side is a groovy piece, were the <groove doctor> himself let you get a portion for the groove la chord-feeling. massive in the arrangement and truly funky! the b-side is a bit different. b1 is very straightforward with very fat beats and a twisted sound that is building. b2 get thoughts over to the joris voorn-style. // special restock !!

the 4th installment of the sounds superb series explores further the possibilities of randomness. this time its a bit more on the stoner tip. lots of editing and messing with the turntable pitch control to generate the depth and exitment we love so much when sampling. we liked it so much that we had to include 20 min. short radio mix of conservation of momentum.

the second release on important hardcore records and after the huge success of the first release (masters of noise) we can assure this one will score big time in hardcore land too! this powerful 3 tracker is produced by a new, highly talented producer from germany: dj hurricane! his feeling for innovative sounds and melodies, gadgets and arangements are simply amazing. the ep starts on the a side with rock a party and the track does exactly what the name says,a pure party tune which will cause total mayhem on all international hardcore floors!the flip side starts with listen up which is a bit harder & agressive, yet still it remains quite mainstream as soon as the terrific break drops in. to finish the 12inch we find keep the crowd jumpin which is basic yet dedaly effective track full of cool melody lines. another fine piece of hardcore work presented by important hardcore records, top notch release for all hardcore lovers out there!!
