see the light opens with a classic-in-waiting, the behemoth of a single, >white horse<, that forces you to move like a witch doctor would. >champagne bubbles< is the kind of gritty r&b that isnt afraid to be as angry as it is melancholic, its piano flourishes punctuated with a heavy kick and snare. >prisoner of love<, which bridges electro and freestyle, featuring a soaring vocal melody that finds nomi and guest vocalist antony weaving their voices around each other to a stunning effect.

second release on is records, the a-side, the future never was combines sparse beats and pads held together by a growling stuttered bass, which gives the track an industrial feel but on a techno/house tip. on the flip, fake the feeling, draws on sounds beyond the current trend for vintage analogue in an original take on the house blueprint. the b2 track out of orbit is 4 minutes 48 seconds of tech soul, for the floor or the headphones.

played by reboot, joris voorn, martinez, christian prommer, lee curtiss, sis, ... ever wondered what a butch diana ross on acid might sound like…? well youre about to find out… but before we get to overside, youve gotta enjoy and marvel at the sheer brilliance of the rest of jairo catelos latest offering on silicone souls darkroom dubs. our man from the asturias has rapidly built a strong and loyal following thanks to his beautifully crafted house cuts. jairos ability to bring together dubby textures and an innate soul within his productions is most enviable. his warehouse ep features three original new cuts backed by a rework from french house guru, phil weeks. lead cut soul school is something of a two-headed beast. whilst its kick-drum and dramatic synth stabs drive it with a serious dose of funk, it still retains a warm-summer soul that will keep the fillies moving. then, as a little sax break goes to our head, were flipped and the beats and bass get sleazy and old school. killer! mr. weeks beings some 90s flow to the table on his remix. working the guitar licks and bassline hard but always retaining a smooth as silk groove, phil shows just how to keep the dancefloor cookin. a beautiful house record from one of the very best. >yairos 303 acid< mix of overside finds us getting upside down and inside out. serious funk with an injection of some classic acid styles. final cut >the shake< sees jairo roll out drums. a lazy bassline is swarmed by ripping snares and a host of percussive sites and sounds. a perfect close to a pretty much perfect ep.

great support from laurent garnier, stephan bodzin, dj hell, nick warren, max cooper, samuel l session, agoria, oxia, karotte, gregor tresher and monika kruse among others.

surely with forward-looking ambitions, serbian fellow dejan milicevic drops his debut album trust and the purpose with style,non-compromisingly showing us how electronic music has no limits, only heart and soul is needed. he throws a good example how to gather different genres and styles into one great peace of art, one that certainly cant resist giving in without touching our heart.

italys mario pierro aka raiders of the lost arp, has been responsible for many a top-notch releases to come from romes nature and pigna labels over the years. he returns again to present two outstanding sci-fi influenced electro/techno tracks for the 9th release on lunar disko records. both tracks demonstrate marios trademark blend of electronic funk & soul, and will certainly have you reminiscing about some of the classics of years gone by from this fantastic producer!… both tracks are accompanied by two remixes from dutch master, rude 66. rudes distinctive dark and atmospheric production style make for two classic remixes from the machines of rude 66. both artists create contrasting soundscapes on each side that compliment each other brilliantly…a must for fans of either producer!

volta cab has made quite an impact on the nu disco / deep house scene since last year. he is a multitalented, versatile producer, performing brilliantly in a range from from nu disco, deep house, soul, techno to breakbeat. approaching music in an open way, he is not restricting himself to a certain genre, catching the zeitgeist. on serenades, volta cab takes us back to 1992 with a 4 tracker called >house of the rising fire ep<. all of the tracks are heavily influenced by rave and house soundscapes of the early 90s. think of early prodigy, altern8, rachel wallace and baby d, combined with a modern nu disco twist.

creativity is born from chaos. when you allow yourself to give up control, unexpected and beautiful things can happen. after the success of >the face of the planet< and >dont stop, the subs bring you their newest single, the title track of their latest album >decontrol<.
its a slow, sleazy & sexy song that builds and builds toward its apotheosis: we want your mad soul, we want decontrol.
>decontrol< is backed by some amazing remixes from d.i.m., aquarius heaven, & black strobe

soul jazz records are releasing this latest studio one compilation which features non-step 100% stone-cold classic studio one killers! spanning 40 years of the legendary label, this album is a fitting tribute to clement >sir coxsone< dodd and is a who is who of jamaicaan reggae.

studio one women is the latest in the series of studio one compilations released by soul jazz records. ska, rocksteady, funky reggae, roots, dub mixes, disco mixes, they are all here from the queens of the jamaican music scene. studio one women features a wide mix of classics and obscurities from the finest female voices in reggae. until now most of these tracks have only ever been available as extremely hard to find jamaican 7 inch and 12 inch singles and even if you were lucky enough to find them they d cost you a small fortune! marcia griffiths and rita marley (here with her first group the soulettes) are two of jamaicas most famous female singers hugely popular today. both these artists became internationally famous as the i – threes (along with judy mowatt), bob marleys backing singers alongside the wailers. also featured are hortense ellis, sister of alton who cut many smash hit on the island and jennifer lara, a lady who had a long career with studio one, singing on countless sides until she sadly passed away earlier this year. studio one is the greatest label in the history of reggae and is the foundation of all reggae music. it is where virtually every world renowned jamaican superstar started out, bob marley and the wailers included. under the guidance of the legendary clement >coxsone< dodd the musicians at studio one recorded hundreds of instrumental rhythms which still provide the backbone for many of the records made in jamaica today.

rejected look to round out the summer and call in the autumn with a track that has been igniting floors all season for label chiefs edwin oosterwal and joris voorn. >mike loves the horn< also sees a rejected debut for two artists who individually have rapidly risen to the top of their game.

first of three parts of the first wurst compilation with 10 new exclusive tracks alltogether. part i boasts new york upstarts soho808, lisbon legend tiago, merc alum chicago damn, and new jersey outliers pink stallone. following appearances on soul claps social experiment 002 mix on no. 19 and jamie jones fabric 59 mix, soho808 land on wurst with >reach< feat. safiyah, easily their most accomplished work to date, fusing their now-patented slow house sound with a little of the citys r&b swagger. pink stallone hooks up with strictly rhythm alum joey washington on >help yourself<, a ridiculously nasty slice of future funk. tiago gives >peanuts not working< his i am the automan treatment, channeling the 80s cosmic sound for a driving dancefloor workout. rounding out the ep is chicago damns >romcom<, a smoky, subdued number, hinting at detroits beatdown sound with the mans now signature mpc moves.

the kdms is a underground-supergroup. englands no.1 indie - disco diva kathy diamond (permanent vacation, eskimo, moodmusic) and maximilian skiba from londons rekids label (solo album coming up soon) teamed up to do a real band. the result are some very crisp, catchy but raw house tunes with a great pop appeal. kathys unique voice that combines soul-funk background with a very own timbre meets max’s way of contemporary electronic production. he does it like prince: playing all the guitars, drums, bass and keyboards alone. and then reworking it on the computer. check the amazing morgan geist remix!

carefully caressing your back whilst whispering sweet nothings into your ear, pillowtalk join the life and death family with their modern dance soul hybrid, >the come back ep<. despite the name, its actually a debut ep -- and one that quickly establishes pillowtalks unique sound as an important voice in the new generation of contemporary dance music. already getting serious play (and props) from a wide range of djs, from the deep & soulful wolf + lamb and soul clap crews all the way to the banging bass centric justin martin, >the come back< finds life and death once again crossing the conventional genre descriptions with a true dancefloor bomb that everyone can get behind. imagine motown and classic doo-wop blended with a modern dance sensibility and you may start to get an idea of the pillowtalk sound. but its better to stop imagining and just have a listen because what these guys are doing is so genuinely unique, its not an easy one to pigeonhole with words and genre titles alone. the ep includes >the come back<, >soft< and >long lost friends< as well as a life and death remix of >soft<. put together in the life and death laboratories it brings a darker, deeper take on this beautiful and already incredibly sentimental dancefloor serenade.

vinyl debut for dirtydrivesounds ? and this record is really worth it !!! straight and grooving house tunes with hot remixes from chris lattner (moon harbour, nrk, einmaleins) and chris manura (lordag, pour la vie).

good recordbag with a good price. look for different nice colors too.
