phuture shock musik present their 5th release, this time procuring the reliable talent of one of the most slept on producers in the world of bass music - that is simon/off. those in the know will be aware that the austrian native has been simmering in the underground for quite some time now, having laid the groundwork through early releases on haunted audio, a noteworthy ep for immerse records, and further contributions to several other smaller labels. this latest plate by the name of >planetary communication< ep finds simon/off leaning more towards his techno and broken beat side, which has of late began to flourish in his recent productions, and consists of three well crafted afro-tech riddims oozing weighty low-end frequencies, funky drum work and finely detailed percussion. widespread support on sub fm, and increasing support from several other major players in the underground bass scene.

welcome to the first love sick recordings release brought to you by the likes of riskotheque, marchmellow and screen age & mudie (aka southbound hangers). a side >all alone< provides an exhilarating journey through heartbreak, loss and isolation. in the intro, delayed piano chords hint at distant happy memories but soon make way for stark 808s and womb-like sub frequencies that bring the listener back to bitter reality. insistent vocal snippets serve only to galvanize the tracks emotional content. truly a song to cry to as much as dance. in contrast to this is aa >you dont understand<. positivity and hope pervade this little beauty, its glistening synth hooks and intricate drum programming conjuring thoughts of joy and new found affection. perhaps the perfect sound-track to a summer romance.

this time they bring to the table 2 of the most rolling smashing tunes from the benefit camp. whats good about social music is that it has space and head room for you to mix the tune nicely in whatever way shape or form you choose. if you want to bashment switch it you can, or you want to use it for dd (double dropping) its there for you to do so or even roll out the mix. and the m.cs dont need to fight against the frequencies they can just do their thing without struggling.

butchs first release on villalobos imprint ... going back to the future. rawhides frequencies are out of control ... gray: tension bomb. i love you: piano house at its best. comes on proper double 12 inch - 1 track per side for maximum pressure!

modernista make a very welcome return after dropping their now classic debut 12 on us last year the architect of that raw late 80s machine music homage, paul bennett is back in charge here one of pauls formative influences during his youth was the music made by the first wave of techno producers from detroit. this release attempts to bring back some of the drama and pure funk of that sound. electronic music for the head, heart and feet. immaculately programmed maydayesque drum machines, emotive & expansive pitch bent synths, thundering low frequencies and clanks galore. this is a supercharged rewiring of the detroit blueprint in three startlingly well executed flavours.

one of the founding members of the ostgut ton family, marcel dettmann recorded his debut 12inch for the label alongside ben klock with >dawning< some five years ago. now after a string of highly praised releases, his debut album >dettmann<, and a handful of uncompromising records on his own mdr label, we arrive at this new ep for his home label. launching us into the space-race, >barrier< documents those tense moments of discovery as we reach into new territories. dettmanns unique textured sound design sets the scene before diving into >translation one< - a frantic, quivering and snaking snapshot into the kind of techno the producer stands for these days. metallic bass spins sideways, while ever-modulating percussion drives forward. the sinister sci-fi tones of >translation two< warble and jive in glorious syncopation as a systematic heavy kick and hat program works the bass frequencies and rhythmic zones. open and spacious, its meandering theme hangs deliciously between paranoia and positivity. in >planning< dettmann further explores his inclination for intricate, tripping synth patterns. a staggered, wonderfully immersive theme builds from delayed staccato notes in a classic analog sequence, underpinned by rumbling dub bass pressure

aah, how we have missed them! the fine young gentlemen that are channel x, two of stil vor talents most active producers of meticulously crafted and deeply energetic tech-house smash hits. and just in time for the open-air season they now come back with two very convincing pieces of dancefloor art. first up is >little symphony<, an epic space opera that takes it cues from early 90s techno and mixes it up with post-modern grooves and beats. the wide and open spaces are filled with some very hymnal string patterns that are given a final treatment with a reverbed and high-pitched vocal sample. contrast that with the rather jittery beat and a subbass as deep as the frequencies will go and you got yourself a substantially clear bit of techno that is best imagined when it is dark and only some beams of air tell you where you are. channel x do not produce, they direct and all of the sounds are their actors! on the flip things get more light-hearted and set for the daylight hours as well. >steamboat willie< is a heavily sample-orientated swinging piece of jack. the rhythm guitar lead the way on top of a clap-based loop that sets the basis for some very jazzy interpretations along the way. clarinets, trumpets, percussions, brass, effects and even some talking vocal samples are all allowed to join in this hedonistic big band that is at play. this is one for the sunshine, this is one for the smiles on the faces, this is one to feel instantly good about yourself and everything around you. two very different tracks on this ep, but both equally stand out for themselves

the enigmatic french trio dop unleash another sonic assault of deep and visceral house music on guy gerbers supplement facts imprint with three bold and organic cuts for your sex. a dark broody and characteristically cheeky affair, your sex opens up this dop creation with a stripped back beat and looped vocal. low-end bass build up the title track to a crescendo that engulfs the senses in deep acid frequencies. this is a nod to the techno elite but fusing a new depth and sensuality to the genre, in true dop style. skipping into subtle and kinetic territory, half naked flirts with reverberating whispered vocals and crisp percussive beats. a lethargic and almost yearning record, it massages the energies of the body with a playful and soothing approach. last up paul ritch tackles a remix of the title track, elevating those throbbing bass elements to new levels with a fluttering and-high energy weapon made to hypnotise the feet, body and mind. dopis the musical summation of a 20 year long friendship between members clement aichelbaum, damien vandesande and jonathan illel, their musical relationship beginning in 1994 as the result of a rock & roll cover band formed for the french national day of music, experimenting in hip-hop, jazz, and reggae followed by various musical incarnations. in 2005 they made the transition into electronic music and last year delivered a highly regarded debut artist album on circus company, noted in the guardian newspaper as steeped not in orthodox 4/4 house and techno, but in jazz, classical, hip-hop and world music

pole records presents reekos new release. the veteran spanish techno activist brings us three tracks that look at techno from three different perspectives. cyberpunk opens the release: ebm flavoured bass, compact beats, dreamy strings and sharp percussions that make this number a direct floor workout. dystopic futures has a funkier approach, with a shaker driven percussion programming, shuffled synth lines and crazy arpeggiated high-pitched frequencies. empirical science is a futuristic techno track whose analog synths grow and evolve as the track flows, seasoned with white noise drones and a constantly evolving structure. three tracks of intelligent and hard techno for your body and soul.

this release is strongly recommended. the first record of the enlightened wax series is a fine blend of incandescent house and techno tracks, flaring through the darkness of the night. all the tracks are written, mixed, and produced without the use of any software. light 1 (6.14) is like a ray coming from a distant star: it is slow building up on a wide bass body rising from atmospherical pads. a deep house jam with a touch of hi-tech jazz . light 2 (4.51) scatters raw beats in the urban skyline. an old school piano sample in addition to a aggressive bass line are the foundation of the track. its a breath-taking piece at the furthest boundaries between techno and house. on side b, the delightful journey continues with light 3 (5.34) an hymn to the glorious past of dance music. solid beats, ground shaking low frequencies, joyful voices, soulful piano chords call up the assembly for a return of the shining days. light 4 (6.06) fuses garage sounds and techno attitude. its massive dubby base breaks through sonic barriers. a dancefloor striker

after the loud aproval of their first vinyl >green vision<, released on the german label night drive music, the aquarell project (headed by marco sarto and andrea paganin) finally land at sabotage recordings. the title track , >creep<, is a forecasting dancefloor oriented hit, conceived to last through times: its a groovy explosion of house percussions, warm low frequencies, sensual voices and relentless rhythms. >you are gold< is an impressing hypnotic tune with a technological taste, exalted by percussive elements. on side b, alex piccini remixes >you are gold<, while re-up reworks >creep<: both cuts are powerful but elegant apt for every kind of dj

averse to any easy classification, rainbow arabias continent-trekking, kaleidoscope pop is rooted in no particular time or place, employing modern technological processes to an array of musical cultures and eras. the los angeles duo began with the purchase of a lebanese casio that played microtonal scales and eastern beats, with which they quickly recorded their propulsive first ep, the basta, synthesizing bossa nova and industrial post-punk with heavy middle eastern vibes. digging deeper for inspiration from the worldly found sounds of sublime frequencies compilations, their follow-up ep, kabukimono, expanded the color palette of their >fourth world< pop with dark, arabic disco-dancehall jams sitting alongside sunnier moments with caribbean and african flourishes...

danish producer martinez rarely fails to surprise club music lovers with his versatile views on techno and house. his very special enthusiasm enables him to seize new musical territory with every release. with his debut record on cadenza, his house sound develops another depth, a more general view of the ever evolving tension between life and music. the mzuzu ep is all about bass. the bass is all around, the bass gushes into every corner of the club, it pervades concrete and iron. while the low frequencies deal ruthlessly with architecture, they are kind to us humans. the basslines put the dancers in a conforting state of hypnosis which might be an unconscious reminder of the long gone time when one still rested in ones mothers womb. it arouses the memory of a state when one is completely merged with the surroundings. martinez reorganises the structure of house music: the lashing grooves cease to be the center of the tracks. martinez moves the heartbeat of the music from the beats to the bass. its firmness releases the other elements of the tracks, creating a free-spirited feeling. freed from their regular task the grooves are enabled to be rough and open. instead of trying to control the crowd, they ravish us with their liberating energy. the tracks rarely need anything else. the icing on the cake consists in tiny vocal samples. creating an irritating athmosphere, they put us in a state of constant curiosity. disolving completely into the flow of the tracks, the human voices become pure sound. >mzuzu chant< & >adagio< are for the beautiful moments when the dancing crowd detaches itself from time and space

fully licensed is a new dubstep label that has burst on the scene. its already made waves in club land and its also pissing off the neighbours. we dont know much about krankie frank but what we do know is he knows his frequencies and therell be much more from this camp. watch out

matt john has done it again! the 3rd holographic island is an excellent sequel to the hypercube ep. “baby face one” on the a side, with its tripping arrangement of voices, precise percussive drums and its rolling bassline makes you feel like swimming within an always flowing river of sound. the b side track named the “bleepfactory” has a tense and explosive atmosphere and features a shimmering cloud of microsounds floating over a warm carped of bass frequencies and drum hits

soniculture has prepared a hot package for the summer with billy dalessandros new ep that is ready to hit the dancefloors. a true visionary in the art of developing new and sophisticated approaches to dance music, billy shows us once again his talent and plays around with new frequencies and soundscapes that blend neatly to form yet another masterpiece.

will sauls aus imprint returns with the lipsmacker ep, a collaboration between bristolbased bass enthusiasts al tourettes and appleblim. continuing aus recent trend of fusing elements of traditional house and techno with the sub frequencies and rhythms of dubstep, the ep comes as a slice of forward thinking electronic music that continues to reinforce the ever-strengthening relationship between the two musical camps

becoming real is a young producer residing in a forgotten suburbia, busy channeling his very own postapocalyptic vision of london. a spectre-like entity flitting between a range of electronic frequencies, his self-termed >ghost-step< sound is as much influenced by a conceptual future dystopia as by luminaries zomby & mount eerie. re-imagining the iciest of grime synths through a warped k records aesthetic, becoming real has forged a frozen universe that still retains an unequivocally human feel. charged with future-dread, this is music for seas drowned in oil, tar-coated forest landscapes, and a prophesised world of underwater clubs and haunted dancefloors. after a sold out debut white label release last year, becoming real is ready to emerge in 2010 with the release of >fast motion< / jens clock<, backed with a scratcha dva remix of fast motion.

big with: ben klock, brendon moeller, alan fitzpatrick, pär grindvik, chris liebing, anja schneider, orde meikle, deetron, a. mochi, adam beyer, samuel l session, joris voorn,.. the respected italian producer roberto bosco pushes the blurry boundaries of club techno with this edgy, agile and highly functional 4-tracker on figure spc. letting the games begin straight away with one, a bass-loaded pumping groove leads the action as we step into a cavernous hall resonating with classic techno hypnotism. careful arrangement tweaks, jacking, sharp percussion and knee-trembling sub-frequencies are all present in this well-defined peak time treat for the floor. the twisting, freaking opening bars of circle dub quickly evolve into a strange but beautiful beast, utilising boscos trademark solid drum array, but also a drifting, dubbed out scattering of synth lines, taking the focus from our heads to our hearts. super-pumped and primed for warehous sessions everywhere, the title of the b1 track club sums it up perfectly

brand new intrusion! the first killer twelve of 2009 and the perfect way to soothe the post nye hangover. the title track >seduction< is an epic beauty as deep as the sea which does exactly as the title suggest, a sort of seduction of sound if you will, so immersive you could swim in it’s three dimensions. the bass line is so deep you can feel the vibrations in jamaica! the song soars along and in minutes reveals its magical analogue frequencies as shards of blissful chords sail around your speakers in a full spectrum panorama affair so easy to sink into. next up is “silence” leading us into ambient territory for a short but sweet three minute excursion which i could only imagine as a soundtrack while floating in deep space. the release comes to a close with cv313’s near 12 minute rendition, a beautiful dub house soundscape filled with tribal rhythms and gorgeous atmosphere recalling moments from echospace’s landmark album “the coldest season” on modern love. this is music which clearly focuses on every fine detail, filled with loads of space and bass and the analogue warmth we’ve come to love from the echospace signature. as with all things echospace this is severely limited and is pressed on to beautiful coloured vinyl.

incl. manuel tur remix. the second chapter in mild pitch history reveals the cryptically twinkling gem that is langenberg s times , a dark yet sensitive house affair which easily bridges the gap from a rougher 1990s new jersey kind of feel to the modern takes on house music of today. filtered stab fragments and deep chordal layers gently slide into each other like watercolour and the shifting frequencies of a sizzling vinyl record contribute to langenberg s most thrilling work to date. on the flip, manuel tur gears up for an atmospheric remix expansion reminiscent of his critically acclaimed 0201 album debut on freerange earlier this year. countless harmonic layers twine around a filtered disco sample, without ever revealing its full sound spectrum while the raw tripping beat keeps stomping relentlessly…

nice price deal !!! alessio mereu, a classical piano player since he was just an eight years old kid, moved to electronic music in the last few years with his trade mark hypnotic and full of groove defined style. even though he is a very young artist, he is a talented and appreciated producer who broke the scene just at 18. recorded for eminor records, orion & paco osunas mind shake label.

the brussels based sirius pandi label reaches a rounded 8th vinyl release with two tracks from spaniard labels boss fernando daxta and a remix by greek man of our time mr.statik (memo, rotary cocktail, immigrant, perplex, karloff…).
>drunvalos drums< is a track that has been being tested by fernando with positive audience reactions during live sets in demanding places like toy (stuttgart) electrosonic festival (burgos) or rioma (mexico city). its frequencies between house, techno and minimal make a celebrative ravy drummy atmosphere perfect for those times where warm ups are over… colombian singer natalia davila recently added the consciousness speech during a studio session in mexico city giving the track that special femenine touch.
the flip side of the record is completed by a perfect more retained still criminal drumatic treatment by chief mr. statik and an extra daxtas track, >quien anda ahi<, a more small room title featured in french trax magazine june’s edition cd sampler.

the sunshine coast?s resident electronic maverick, milanese is back on with his heavy-as-fuck 2nd album on the mighty planet mu, and a snapshot of the continued evolution of his unique, fresh angle on streetwise uk bass music.
having pioneered the heavy, dark and twisted experimental dubstep sound with his previous releases on warp, combat, mg77, arcola, seed and planet mu, this new lp sees a shift towards collaboration. with strong vocal artists like ben sharpa (pioneer unit, cape town) and rqm (al haca, vienna), who deliver interesting lyrics in a unique style, melded perfectly with milanese?s own fat swerving basslines, solid drums full of attitude and odd, mangled samples.
melting dubstep?s earth shaking frequencies with hip hop & grime vocals and hard edged timbaland influenced drums and percussion, the result defies categorization: neither dubstep, grime, hip hop nor idm - you could call it a mashup of all these, but it?s more accurate to say it sounds like streetwise bass music for the year 3000. incredibly strange beats and sounds but keeping the funk, fury and bounce 100% on lockdown.
challenging, menacing and forward thinking like his previous releases 1up on warp (2004) and extend on planet mu (2006), its also 31 year old steve milanese?s most dancefloor record yet.

quite a unique ep, very atmospheric. lots of styles here, starting out with ambience, breaks and ragga/dubstep, becoming more melodic and gentle but ending up funky, moody & minimal, exploring resonant frequencies and harmonics.

moeller s third, already highly anticipated ep for third ear, following the jazz space ep (3eep-068) and the one man s junk ep (3eep-088).once again we have selected 4 cuts of varying mood and intensity to create an ep offering many possibilities for the dj and a rewarding home listening experience. a1 - traffic (new wipers mix) is a driving wide-screen track which will turn the dancefloor into a heaving mass of frequencies and beats. this is close to a peak-time track. this is a high intensity track that holds the vibe in a state of impending release underpinned with a deep, open groove. 126bpm. a2 - slight transition takes the vibe very deep and keeps it there. a simple (genuinely less is more) drum pattern of a lightly hit snare drum, hi-hat and occasionally shaken guiro over a hypnotic bass pattern, hold the track in place for nearly seven minutes. a masterful control of tension offering the dj a number of options for where to take the dancefloor from this moment s respite. 119bpm.

with recent releases on emergence and token, grovskopa debuts for labrynth and hits the floor hard with treacher collins . re-processed percussion and rolling low end seem to cause sensory overload at every turn. the perfect floor tool. aa/ balamber sees grovskopa maintain the industrial focus, but heads further into darkness and despair. driving forwards relentlessly, a rolling sea of bass and mechanical abrasive tones force us to move and dance! b/ trademark michaelangelo sounds here on the 4/4, reminiscent of some of the mid 90 s synewave recs releases. sirius carves into an immense sonic landscape. chaotic and crackling high frequencies modulate and break up over our heads, while monotone subs meander and bounce with the kick. big room techno. big sound. quality. bb/ massive offbeat techno from telesthesia, a collaboration between michaelangelo & coefficient. complex rhythms continually weave throughout the track. the journey deconstructs and falls into darkness, re-emerging again into precision synths and digital modulations

out of his basement in athens, george laimos expands his low frequencies science to ntrop recordings techno platform. while boomstu at the a-side is a jackin trippy techno cut, at the b-side, techeran remains calm and jazzy with a leon segka mix to converts the track to a dubby hypnotic version

shokh is back with dipolter ! a-side is vinyl only ! >deep, down, below – but tekno, tekno, tekno.< this is mr. shokhs first release on his own label. he delivers two detroit and house influenced technotunes that fully exhaust the lower frequencies. so be sure you play that on a good sound system! sometimes you just gotta let your soul glow. yo.

incl rmxs by jay haze & ernesto ferreyra !! lomidhigh unlmtd is a platform for non earthly music and frequencies from distant galaxies, that has echoed down onto us here at planet earth. the label aims to release music that knows no boundaries. to create a home for a label that doesnt contain itself to one genre or time. music that experiments and pushes its own limits into new and undiscovered musical territories. taking influences from the past, and presenting them in a new form. lomidhigh unlmtd has its sights set on the endless limits of the universe, in which it can roam freely and not be contained by gravity or any other earthly presence. the main concept behind the label is to not pigeonhole itself. expect the unexpected. its aim is to give record stores a rough time deciding which genre to put the releases under. at a time where the world is in dire shape, we feel its time to get away from the world and float into outer space. once named the final frontier, the universe knows no limits. the perfect place to surf through the milky ways to distant galaxies, to hear moments of the past echoing into the future. lomidhigh unlmtd is stoked to present its first release. monotaxs debut, the argentinean band formed by dilo (aka elephant pixel), imi and zooey.

nice price deal !!! nother pounding hybrid set of low-end killers here from hot-flush, kicking off with the tumbling rhythms and wobbling sublow of ?deep under? - its a track that teeters on the brink of breaks science throughout, keeping itself wrapped up in a relentless bass envelope despite the distractions brought on by constantly evolving skitters - mighty stuff. the rhodes-inflected breaks and bass clash of ?sparkle? offers time for reflection on the flip, borrowing a melodic underlay from some abandoned, dusty jazz-club somewhere strange, tugging you back underground with its careful arrangement if frequencies at the lowest end of the spectrum. righteous

this summer mos ferry prod. comes up with a new two-track 12inch by dapayk solo, announcing the release of his second album >devils house< in late september. the title track on side a is already giving directions for this journey – provided that theres a proper bass response – >frickelsound< with affection to the little details, in particular with regards to the bass frequencies. but knowing dapayk thats hardly surprising, by now ... on the b side he presents >a saw attacks< - a track like a recapitulation of certain minimal elements that are around for quite a while now. but only the beginning is a typical sportive staccato theme. after a while a full-stereo sawtooth sound and a demoniac vocal sample take the lead, pushed by a strong punchy kick drum and accompanied by a sounddesign of clicks and sweeps

played by karotte, l.garnier, steve bug, sebo k, mike shannon, layo, d julz !!! we are pretty sure that maetrik sent us his latest ep from a grow room orbiting the earth. his space chronic ep combines the innovation of techno with a sense of fun missing from your average four on the floor banger. its a little shocking, but the results have been exactly what wed expect from the dallas native - mass freaking on the dancefloor. the albums lead single, sex with bass, explores the type of low frequencies that usually occur when suspension bridges tear apart. all the while a subsonic voice repeats its desire to have sex… with bass! stab jockey throws a techno curveball at the start, utilizing rhythmic synths over a simple beat. dont trust it! midway through, the line clears out for full-frequency busting bass drops. on the flip, crawl machine immediately builds a head-nodding groove that wastes no time firing off its boosters – half the track is a sneaky buildup. by the time the kick slams back in, youre already back in orbit. cuban born maetriks techno pedigree is bulletproof.

>i am with you< ist eine 100%ige traum platte. sennh schafft eine Ästhetik, die auf verblüffende art und weise, simplistisch, melodie und techno verbindet. seine musik ist introspektiv und experimentell wie auch euphorisch und clubbig zu gleich

if zox was a sculptor, his works would be angled and polished, simple and magically effective. no sound on this record (which is called >more fluff<, which astonishes me) hangs around too long between the acrylic clear beats, the square waves are bellied and cold as vodka from an iceberg, the higher frequencies refreshingly cool as hills in the highlands, and straight lines are the dominating theme by far. this is dance music in itself. the basses live in rich bounteousness which is strictly controlled, though. why boom it when you can bang it? perfect shapes, functional beauty and a refreshing taste will rock you.

osunlade s new album presented on 3 friendly dj 12inch singles. disc 1 includes 4 quality soulful afro inspired house tracks

"this ep combines different periods of time. oldschool and newschool elements is the key element of a modern production, no matter if its nasa or both legends acquaviva & lützenkirchen to deliver a masterpiece that is functional in every possible way. sirens and oldschool stabs on one side, combined with electronic fierceness and drumming madness. the b-side "hurt me" is more agressive, sawtooth sounds modulating through every spectrum of frequencies. at least one will get your ears bleeding or just the mind blowing if youre lucky enough to survive. cologne based producer pierce gives the >satellite< original a new face with his remix. long synth build ups, reduced drumming and massive compression focus on the basic needs and desires of a rocking dancefloor: to celebrate a break, a melody and to freak out when it starts at zero again"

marco nastic aka let s talk serves up a small masterclass in the darker serbian minimal techno skills. the relatively new label traffica showcases three extreme tracks with a spooky vibe, which cover all frequencies from extreme low to high pitch sonar..

nice price deal !!! one of the strongest sinister releases to date. deep, phat, bottom end booty shakin nonsense with some twisted electronica madness riding the ridums. pounding beats, glorious riff action and stuttered vocal edits all embrace in perfect production harmony that collectively make an essential dancefloor purchase.spectrometer on the flip sees the beats sharpen up and the dynamics take on a techbreaks formula.spectrometer drives harsher forever building the acidic layers. atmospherics fill the drop out before a solid wall off full force tech frequencies launches skyward maximising dancefloor obliteration.

second release from this new label. sordid you combines huge droning bass frequencies with a combo of bouncy, undulating synth hooks and tough beats for a huge uplifting track with a moody edge to it awesome production throughout, and a very fresh and exciting sound generally. watch these guys fly for the rest of the year
