the >king of epic< returns to storming for a sick three tracker, and from the opening track its not hard to see why there is so much excitement surrounding this promising producer. a tension building intro and huge breakdown set the scene for bomb jack, before dropping in to a dirty, gritty roller. receiving support from caspa, rob da bank, the others and joe nice to name a few.

hey flavio, why are you so acid?? the just 20 years old guy is already showing lots of influence in his background! flavio diaz, young producer divided between naples and london, becomes part of the born pulsars in the techno music galaxy with amazing tracks! vitamin r and mister jetix reflect the evolution of the analytic trail groove , influenced by the minimal of detroit and the acid house of chicago before and london then, and marked by techno neapolitan school personal imprint. mister jetix is a real funky track, nominated to be a real floor killer, both in the original version that like the remix by the chairman of the house, markantonio. vitamin r is a real brand new vitamin discovered by flavio, that we wish to take at early morning to charge up and start again!

limited to 500 copies, coloured vinyl !! one of detroits most respected names, mike huckaby serves up a floor burning epic with his s y n t h mix. it opens up with killer shards of metallic chords, coloured in deep analogue emotion until the last second when a kick nearly explodes and drops low end so sinister your heart may skip a beat. this well crafted array of tone could only come from mikes expert use of the legendary waldorf wave synthesizer, with his timeless rendition of juans classic this is destined to be legendary. after the smoke clears were transported into ambient territory with intrusions lengthy 18 minute ambient voyage. the textures fade into pantone colours before opening up into a silvery lo-fi sonic palette, a sort of slow motion metamorphosis you could only compare to the works of thomas köner or wolfgang voigts, gas project. this is love in lo-fi

panorama is loose disco funk of the rawest kind with flying cymbals and a live drum sound reminiscent of brooklyn's pioneering p&p productions, a bassline making the highest tower crumble, an abstract latin breakdown that rises the temperature level to almost unbearable before moody detroitish analogue sounds take you somewhere else

played by someone else, ripperton, alex attias, stephan bodzin, sian, afrilounge, dave dk and many more. the liars e.p. is a great follow up to lucy s last single downstairs on meerestief. as before, he is putting a lot of emphasis on being the link between passionate electronica and club orientated stuff and he is showing great maturity with his >the liar e.p.< boris hutton delivers a huge deep rmx and perfectly fills the gaps between lucys electronica and club oriented stuff.

drumcode continues its strive for excellence with this new 2 tracker from one of the hottest techno talents around right now - tony rohr. his recent huge releases for the likes of clink and plus 8 have caused quite a stir as well as his countless quality productions before that. the two tracks themselves are perfectly geared for drumcode with their twisted techno sensibility yet dancefloor appeal. expect massive support from the techno masses

the label boss returns to his own yore imprint with another stunning solo release. these are different times indeed for andy vaz if the eps three mighty jams are indicative of where his musics heading. the a-sides over here (a glance over prime time mix) roars from the very first moment vaz unleashes its steaming, latin-tinged groove. a far cry from the techno the yore label head once issued, the tune finds vaz exploring straight up dancefloor territory with a dizzying house pulse that straight up rocks. melodies and voices rise to the surface of the dionysian broil and then just as quickly recede, leaving room for a driving bass line to gain the spotlight. the flips hurry hurry (before its too late mix) is classic deep house just as one expects on yore. a jazz-inflected strut with tilman ehrhorns sax playing, wailing over waves of rollicking piano playing and spirited vocal chants. the energy level doesnt flag for the discs final track, bygone times (nostalgia mix), which stokes a fiery house swing with its locomotive pulse, futuristic synth patterning, and high-velocity bass lines. vazs music has never sounded more impassioned and energized than it does in these three tracks and consequently, just as one might predict, different times feels like its over far too soon

inflicted welcomes another hot newomer on the label, jan fleck! turn red is sven wittekind most fav. track at the moment! this track comes with a real heavy beat and some church bells before the breakdown is rolling over the floor with his sweepy piano melody, which is changing into a nasty synth after some seconds. when the beat is coming in again, there is no holding back for everyone! >i don t care< is a freaky fresh hardtechno track, with a good arrangement and nice vocalcuts! the breakdown in this track is pushin the dancefloor to the peaktime limit! >my descent< a nice compressed loop combined with a heavy baseline synth. making his way in the minds of the bassline lovin technoheads! >epic< is another huge track on this release! a great hardtechno loop makes his way to one of the best breaks ever. sweepy stabs bring you an evil baseline combined with a amazing dnb/breakbeat loop before the well done hardtechnoloop strikes back!

this japanese technopioneer has done some masterpieces last year on well respected labels such as audio assault and zwart. now its time to hit back with a stunning and pounding ep on the new label dynamic reflection. this kid is the headchef of mindcrushing synths, steady pounding beats and crispy percussionloops as the first track so clearly shows. the guys from radial put out an awesome remix on the a2! their rework leads you into the dark paths of techno, a true dancefloor killer! before checking the flipside you better insert your earplugs, cause here mr. hiyama comes up with an narly mind blowing stomper. he shows us how stuff like this is meant to be done and has no mercy on those eardrums. secondly there is another remix from the spanish wonderboy reeko, who takes you into the deep and dark dungeons of his spanish artgallery. with his heavy basslines and his extraordinary uplifting percussion loops he pushes himself to another level with this one! all n all a superior first release on this new and pure techno label, which perfectly reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come

jorge has been a central figure on the latin-american musical stage since the 80s-first as the co-founder of chiles beloved political rockers los prisioneros, then as a restlessly inventive solo musician and as one half of gonzálo martínez, the experimental electronic duo with dandy jack (martin schopf). now based in mexico city and working alongside loreto otero, jorge presents los updates, a new project combining electro-pop with an unusual approach to minimalist house and techno. designed both as a studio affair and a live performance, los updates expands its collaborative scope by reaching out to a crew of well-known chilean and european musicians who were central to the development of chilean techno in the mid 90s: ricardo villalobos, dandy jack, luciano and tobias freund, all of whom deliver defiantly original remixes across a series of 12-inch singles. tobias. fills the a-side with his remix of >pictures of you< simply one of the most dazzling things youll hear this year. tobias. recent string of work-singles for wagon repair and ostgut ton, as well as remixes for two armadillos and jim rivers-has shown him to be a master of the hypnotic groove, and here he entrances like never before, laying down a stark 808 drum pattern which he threads through dubby keys, analog explosions and liquid bass figures. on the b-side cadenzas luciano is getting late and brings his inimitable touch to the remix of >etting late<. luciano reworks the song into a lean, bleepy groove that marries the cool restraint of vintage dbx to lucianos own effusive style, buoyant and percussive and completely enveloping..

a fresh addition to the moodmusic roster but a longtime veteran in the house-scene, alexander maier aka dj all*star from stuttgart is well known from his earlier releases on buzzin fly, exun and criminal records. he began his career playing underground techno in south of germany but over the years became more and more influenced by detroit and chicago house. you can hear these influences on sahara in both the rain and river version. deep and reduced grooves with enough soul and atmosphere, yet fully functional for the floor, sahara rain kicks in with a heavy bass sequence building a perfect platform to be followed by the synththeme which hit s the peak hour perfectly. i see some hands going up here already… sahara river starts more housey, building a classy, low-slung huge groove with perculating synths and almost tribal feel to the drums. the modulating synths lifts the track to new heights with a break of superbly layered twisted pads before the drums kick back in in full effect. as this would not be enough we asked our thrusted chicago connection and alexs buddy, mazi aka audio soul project to remix sahara rain. if you consider people who s been in the biz for some time mazi is one of the warriors of the sound, never choosing the easy way but thrustfully following his true way of house music. and house it is, classic but cleverly updated to 2008 with a twist of so-cal thrown in for good measure. bouncey and jacking is the words which comes into mind when hearing this, excellent work and a another bomb for the hot months to come

its house but not as we know it! young david, aka dave young, chose his artist name as a reminder of what it said on his office door before he took some time out in the summer of 2006. swapping the office for what an estate agent might describe as a cosy basement studio in stockholm, he now sits around making beats all day the fuji ep is musical adventure. bridging the gap between soulful and minimal and blending crunchy mid-tempo party beats with intoxicating two-tone, jazz and dub flavours. equally at home on the dance floor, ipod or lounge stereo, the tracks have a sense of space and depth and, above all, a real musicality which comes not (only) from the pushing of a few buttons, but from a lifelong quest

remixes by kollektiv turmstrasse, noze & apparat !! raz ohara and the odd orchestra received critical acclaim for their self titled album released earlier this year. they may have not been the inventors of their unique style, but the danish patrick rasmussen and his german cohort oliver doerell have certainly helped to redefined the idea of what an electronic musical album can, could and should be. just as artists such as bjork, portishead and booka shade have done so before them. following up their first album single, kisses, this is offering with four other tracks from the album that get the remix treatment courtesy of apparat, kollektiv turmstrasse, nôze and raz himself. it was only a matter of time before one of razs tracks got the 4x4 treatment. kollektiv turmstrasse have showed respect and kept the spirit of the original alive. keeping the original guitar and vocal arrangement intact while simply adding a little bump and shake to the mix. raz shows us that things can be better the second time around, as he continues to proclaim his, love for mrs. rhodes. although he does not trade in his melodies for a kick and snare, they are certainly more prevalent in this dramatized mix complete with arpeggiated synths and additional sound effects. hopefully, this time he will win her heart

>temptation< four tracks debut ep on dancefloor killers for this >mysterious< french artist. who s the >temptation<? a mixture of oldschool rave, electro... everything you need to hit more fans on the dancefloor!

catalogue number one from 1995 before >rewired< was reanimated in 2001 by mark broom & dave hill

arctic monkeys were already massive way before they inked a deal with domino in june 2005. people obsessing over the songs? sold out gigs full of stage diving nutcases. hardcore fans pressed up against venue windows, just hoping to catch a glimpse such checkpoints have all been ticked. the boys may share a love of the smiths, the clash and the jam, but in no way were the monkeys ready to simply regurgitate the well trodden brit rock path.

supported by the likes of 2000 and one, marco carola, adam beyer and tobi neumann, matthias tanzman, among many others. remote area represents the current leading amsterdam underground scene. where artists like microfunk (aka 2000 and one & dave ellesmere), kabale und liebe, lauhaus, daniel sanchez contributed to big club hits. these hits are >pecan<, >mumbling yeah< and >makake< . now julien chaptal also known for the melodic wonderland, am i loco lima, and freedom fries together with lauhaus is coming forth with his excellent debut album called tokens on the remote area imprint. before the album is released chaptal wants to provide you with a bit of a taste from a french artist living in amsterdam. bon appétit.....enjoy it

the latest release on rising trax is this cheeky little ep from max vangeli. three top draw tracks on show here. >crazed< starts simple yet effective and builds slowly into a big distorted guitar hook before dropping back into a very militant rhythm. >k.e.j.i< is a stripped down prog house number with a wicked groove overlaid with nice stabs and a cool hook. the final track of the ep is >i rock< which begins as a minimal house track then drops with some cool squeaks, bleeps and delayed noises. the stabs turn into a big snyth riff which can only be described as large!

is there more to life than house music? for the swedish dj/producer mikael nordgren: probably not. since 2004, he has been steadily churning out some of the best future house tunes from his studio located in stockholm. his productions have been released under many aliases including dmalicious, 12th floor and for get physical under the mighty moniker of tiger stripes. the blacker the music, the sweater the sound. a potential anecdote that fittingly could have inspired mikael when he composed the warm and supple portion of detroit fueled funk that is, blackroom entertainment. yet another presentation of his programming prowess and ability to mold and mend melodies into a sophisticated groove. especially utilizing his signature catchy drums to get the vibe going, then introducing a melodic synth stab before the track takes you away with complex variations of rhythmic lead sounds. abacus may remind listeners of his stellar mad at me ep released last fall on get physical - albeit reformed with a more analog approach. springing tones get the groove rolling before it is taken over by a cabal of sci-fi sounds, at which point a thick, modulated analog bass sound ups the overall energy. the lack of audio imagery is little if none, as the sounds invoke so many moods, feelings and sensations that only a seasoned dj and knowledgeable producer could fabricate such a convincing theme. blackroom entertainment ep again showcases mikaels ability as a formidable contributor to house music

the vex d remix of knowledge has appeared before, but is here reissued with a brand new a side, namely toastys stunning (and previously unavailable) rub of the classic candy floss. the sweetness of the original has been all but sucked out though, replaced with a techy melancholy which evokes classic metalheadz vibes.

2008x remixes by michael woods, deadmau5 & dave robertson chart storming & world-wide promoted fifteen years on from the first infamous and (unofficial) release of this absolute anthem in 1993, the life and pure magic of energy 52s >cafe del mar< lives on! bringing things up to date for 2008, we present three huge remixes, headed off by uk dance legend michael woods. woods astonishing remix, complete with a heart stopping breakdown that will devastate the clubs, is a fresh and totally modern take on the well known classic. super clubfriendly, this jaw-dropping remix is sure to make it into all the right boxes! canadian dj and producer deadmau5 has risen to international success in recent years thanks to his addictive mixture of electronic wizardry, spanning progressive house, minimal trance and techno with ease. his remix is no less astounding, as a simple yet teasing introduction eventually opens up into those familiar chords, before dropping back into a warm and summery musical throb

phat atfc & slackers proggy trance infected remixes

nice price deal !!! big with mickey moonlight, tensnake, cosmo vitelli, todd terje, joakim and the permanent vacation crew. they ve been called one of dance music s best kept secrets jackpot. in 1983 italian experimental sound artist marco donatello and swedish synth pioneer gleen asp made recordings together. their ambition was to put sound to an art-project but the result was an erotic cocktail of italo-esque melodies, ebm rhythms, and filmic arpeggios. legend has it the music was made as an excuse to press records off a narcotic solution in order to smuggle drugs, and that a mishap during the operation explains why we haven t heard these tracks before. in any case, this is an exclusive document of unknown yet truly unique swedish dance music.

karateklub suprises with hugh tracks from jenn, fantastically remixed by rebekah (criminal/uk). with >cheeky<, jenn presents a groovy and much more minimal side then we allready heard on her last ep. suprising and reduced, her sounds looping up and down, embedded in a clonky basedrum structure. the remix, made by rebekah, well known from her releases on criminal records, is just fantastic and completes the ep brilliantly. she desinged a hugh groove and pushed it forward. by adding her ideas she creates an excellent new track. the interface original is specified by stomping and jigging beats, which get intermitted by smooth voices and melodies, before pushing it up again. these girls have it and paint the town red!

songs from the source is a lost and found 1973 recording of the source family. these twelve songs were recorded live in the hollywood hills as a rehearsal for a concert date that spirit of 76 - aka yahowah 13, the savage sons of yahowa, yodship, and firewaterair, now known as children of the sixth root race - had at the whisky. a 1/4 tape copy of the recording was found in chicago in 2006, though no one is really sure how it got there. djin aquarian, rhythm guitarist and songwriter for spirit of 76, recalls being sent on a mission to chicago later in 1973, where he believes he left the tape with an old friend. djin wrote most of the songs in the year before he joined with the source, as part of his solo mystical quest to help enlighten the world before it might annihilate itself, adding, im glad both the album and the world are still here.though this rehearsal wasnt meant to be released at the time, there are probably no other recordings as complete of the band doing these songs. the spirit of 76 had a different sound than the one yahowah 13 made with yahowa. songs from the source has more r n b grooved energy, with splashes of synth and organ, a female vocal chorus and streamlined fusion rhythms backing the uniquely yahowan lyrical populism of songs like godmen and lost dead but hoping. songs from the source is a miraculous missing piece of the sources positive musical movement. the members of yahowah 13 (djin, sunflower on bass, octavius on drums) were joined by family members ahom, aquariana, cinderella, rhythm, vibration, and zoroaster on lead guitar, to create the ecstatic sound of spirit of 76.

a third ep on trenton from theodor zox and his copenhagen grooves! >moodswinger< is a bit of a more house-y record but still with theodors recognizable touch, short sounds and shuffled beats. still theodor explores new corners of funkiness while making sure he gives you that bounce. its summer after all. on the >moodswinger< remix, reynolds re-interprets the track with different keys. as its his forte, reynold drops some cinematic shit in the middle before bringing back the funk hard. all that and he still manages to keep the track tight and solid. the 2 tracks on the inside are a bit more experimental and make that record a perfect tool for early, peak time and after hours sets. thanks for supporting us and keep it real

jaffa music is proud to present freedom part ii with massive new remixes from halo, jamie thinnes and dolls combers. no need of introduction for this title....just another huge freedom package being released right before summer that should provide something for everyone from deep minimal to balearic funk. dont miss this sure to be reference for the upcoming summer season! included in the package is a bonus track called breathe from singer jono mcneil who has featured on jaffa musics first ever release miscommunicate. thanks to benny pecoraio and his way too classy remix. this should have the exposure it really deserves!

to celebrate the release of the motion picture robocop in russian theaters this spring (russian version robotkop!), turbo presents the latest masterpiece by everyones favorite muscovite prodigy proxy: 40 seconds / dance in dark. dance in dark, long supported by the usual suspects (ebnt2mdjtc) samples quirky icelandic singer djork to devastating effect, while 40 seconds tears a page from global headlines with its scathing indictment of police brutality and government corruption. 2008 will also see the release of proxys debut album, so everyone get on board now before we stop taking passengers on the trans-cyberian express.

one sided killer application!! some tracks are so weird, that they can neither be fit into a regular release schedule, nor an appropriate b-side be found. for these black sheep we have decided to create a small niche on connaisseur supérieur. the cnss black edition will sporadically present tracks that are way out of our usual categories… with >numb<, daso finally opens his >panteras< box and again proves his ability to rock reeeally hard. the track actually consists of two seperate tracks whose combination has proven itself during several of dasos live performances. it is the transition between the two tracks that makes the crowd go mad. the clonky intro (already published on ware records as mud max - zampone (maderfotor rmx)) morphs into a giant breakdown with perhaps familiar sounding spoken words before it suddenly reincarnates as a ravey monster from hell! numb shouldnt be taken too seriously and is definitely not for all occasions, but dropped at the right moment, this atom-bomb will cause serve damage on dance- floor-gro

for the second exclusive >eyelights< two-track sampler ep, we bring releases from two of freak n chics finest new talents – shonky and dyed soundorom. the a-side to fnc030 comes from shonky with >bushes<. >bushes< is shonkys softer side, unraveling warm and dreamy loops and beats it is filled with luminous synths and samples. >he did something more housey, something looking more towards what i play. a new side of shonky that we dont know yet, but its really good. and you can recognise shonky is still keeping his style in there of course.< dan ghenacia shonky studied mathematics before finding his passion in the formula of techno music. his recent debut artist album >time zero< for freak n chic propelled him to the forefront of a fresh generation of producers. with past releases on crosstown rebels, mobilee, substatic, resopal and of course freak n chic he plays a main role in the new current of french talent.

cult new york label nu groove 1992

another one of daves favourite producers, jori hulkkonen has turned in an equally massive rework that really utilizes the original parts to full effect, building layer upon layer before really hitting its stride and leaving no dancefloor untouched. mr funkagenda (or adam to his mum) delivering yet another electro techno monster straight out of the top drawer that gave us what the fuck and man with the red face. already road tested to a riotous response, this is set to be huge. quality gear.

klakson is dropping a hot release just before the summer really kicks in... number one gives us two warm driving house/techno tracks with an amazing vibe. sounds like daftpunk doing techno together with carl craig. on the a side we find this amazing deep house track called all the same. phat beats to move you ass but again with a beautufull melancholic topping. the aa side comes with this crazy jam called wonka. it takes you to the top with this incredible build up, ready to explode! at this moment we have no further info on the identity of dxr, or do we? take wild wild guess and listen to the production skills. two great tracks to bring the party to another level

full support by angel molina, dub kult, mathias schaffhäuser, jeff bennet, xpansul, oscar, remute. after releases on the own label, now the first excursion to the well-observed european realms follows on karloff rekordings. analog beats, bleeps and white noise - in sunny california these popular ingredients of minimal techno get brewed together with surprising facility, to a fresh, jacking a-side track with a sturdily nodding groove. on top of that, >azizam< doesn’t lack a clearly distinguished climax - for the good of the dancefloor! on the b-side >off my mind< first appears organicly floating within a warm and fuzzy scent of detroit, before >backwards on pony< finally unwraps classic sawtooth sequencer techno, however properly purged und worked up percussively, to a seething cauldron that you simply have to like!

as one of the leading voices in japans techno and house scene, this dj, producer and live performer knows what dark textures, dirty bass lines and driving beats are all about. this ep arrives as a bit of a powerful undercover tool style installation, full of simple percussive allotments, syncopated synth bass stabs and plenty of swing. hane starts out as a pretty straightforward loop minded drum workout, but before you know it a delicately plucked synth jam ignites the mix.

a fascinating delve into the bizarre and brilliant world of jeremiah yisrael and the disco funk treasures of tap records. i ll let it rot before i let them take my shit. – jeremiah yisrael forty seven tapes, reams of sheet music, copyright forms, membership applications for the brotherhood of wisdom, two flaking acetates, three moldy 12inch singles, and a script for the still unfilmed motion picture angel dust. we stuffed it all into four supermarket fruit boxes, jammed them in the back of a rented chrysler town & country, and tore ass out of nathaniel jeremiah ben yisraels driveway, making a getaway that simultaneously spit us right back at the most bizarre recorded mystery we d ev

played by: laurent garnier, dubfire, dusty kid, florian meindl, unkle, the hacker,... stephan bodzins first strike in 2008 is about to approach. after his stunning debut album mr. liebe ist is now taking off the gloves and bares the wicked part of his personality. first results are two irritating and ingenious tracks named >bremen ost< and >station 72<. alluring sounds with a mind-boggling aura emerging as thrilling dance floor injections! mental disease was never that fascinating before!

plays by jeff mils, dave clarke, james ruskin, paul mac, pacou and many more.. phase is back on token with a winner. after >morodem<, which was sold out even before its actual release, we decided not to wait too long for the follow up which is a double a-side, a for the peaktime hour & aa for the afterhour..

dj support – eric prydz, john digweed, sebastian ingrosso, steve angello, axwell, nic fancuilli... following the monster success of the teaser remixes comes this next cirez d bomb on the enormous mouseville imprint. eric can be described a a true scene pioneer as here again he mutates his style to create a truly fresh dancefloor sound with these 2 new killer tracks. both of these tracks have to heard on a club system to be believed. stockholm marathon wallops along with its bass heavy groove and chord use similar to that in teaser before dropping immensely mid way. the journey is simply epic and has been one of the biggest tracks in erics sets for some time with its vocal refrain and enormous driving snares and gut wrenching sub bass

jesse siminski is one of those musicians its impossible to ignore. whether producing as heartthrob or alter-alter ego vivianne projects his work is instinctive, insightful and driven by an irresistible force that instantly rubs off on the audience. its no surprise then that the first single to be lifted from heartthrobs eagerly awaited debut album >dear painter, paint me< is >signs<, a track that fully demonstrates the extent of his repertoire. one of the highlights of his not-to-miss live set, its also become a corner stone of richie hawtins dj sets over the last few months due to the massive crowd response it generates whenever it drops. billed as homage to classic detroit techno, theres a real air of expectancy about the mix friendly introduction. the powerful kick pattern, swirling sci-fi vocal efx and loose hi hat groove soon make way for the urgent, cavorting main melody that spins off into another dimension before a massive, resonating synthetic bass wipes out everything in its path. one of the main ideas running through the album is the juxtaposition and layering of different rhythms and time signatures and this really comes across on signs, with disco and caribbean inflections adding a cut and thrust to the chugging groove, creating the perfect foil to the sonic mayhem overhead. the b-side features apprentice – a tag heartthrob can safely leave behind with the release of >dear painter, paint me<. of course its another guaranteed floor filler with a finely honed acidic riff that immediately taps into the subconscious...

skinnerbox, thats also two gentelmen, one of them immigrated from a far away country and both living in berlin now. in their boxes theres no devil but there are grandpas old synths, funnily and heavily beeping and bumping beats and basses, joy and fun as in godizllas playroom. and then comes mister humantronic, his remixs, finest tech that will wake up the beast even where no beast was ever before. a record to love and to pamper!

the spring time is aproaching and jesus loved you production is blossoming like never before. day by day, the familiy of valentino kanzyanis proteges is getting larger and larger as he keeps on recruiting more and more of the worlds most promising young djs and producers. topping the list of those who have been choosen to bear his sign, here comes chris barratt to show our crowd what he is made of. magicalminimalpopmusic is his second release for the jesus loved you and we can assure you that it is everything its title promises it to be - fun, minimal and emotional. the release expresses two sides of chris barrat. the gentle, almost fragile angel bells is a very kept back piece and is - as chris himself would have put it - all about emotions. whistlechimes is a more dynamic track with a perfectly fitted long bridge in the middle, making one feel chris barrats his huge dj potential.
