the runners are a new project by our man lukas who has been with dirt crew and players paradise from the beginning and his buddy kevin cook. both young and very talented producers who teamed up to drop some delicious deep house on the next dirt crew release. kevin just made the move to ibiza while bristol based lukas is very succesful in running his buoyancy parties over there. with >hot fun< and >woman pleaser< coming in two different deep mixes this ep is one for the house lovers, taking dirt crew more and more towards the soulfull and groovy path of the new house movement. to top things off we asked another rising star in the scene and one of our favourite producers at this moment jay shepheard (compost, diynamic, drumpoet community) who recently made the move from london to berlin. he delivers a great remix with a deep sub bass and a lush chord filled groove… you will love it

massive summerhit from nick curly played by: sven väth, dubfire, matthias tanzmann, karotte, audiofly, nick fanciulli ... currently, the releases and remixes of young mannheim-born nick curly are integral parts of the scene. with his imprints cécille and 8bit records he discovered both sis and johnny d., and thus shaped the electronic music scene decisively. nick is also well-known on an international level and tours the world under the motto >series<, which is at the same time the collective name for his vinyls. sven väth is a fan of the high-flyer and invites him not only to make an ep on cocoon recordings but also for a performance at the cocoon night at super club amnesia in ibiza. the two exclusive tracks on pujante / new town stranger are showing once again nicks diversity and his intuition for groove and soul. the a side >pujante< is a strongly forward-banging piece of techno that extends over the dancefloor like a shock wave. totally different: the b side >new town stranger<. for more than 12 minutes, the listener is enchanted by this masterpiece that attracts him with its perfect groove and a fascinating voice, just like a story from another time

big with: richie hawtin, dubfire, dj hell, mandy, dj t, james what, ralph lawson... well what can we say, two tracks that could not be more different from well know mainz/ germany based artist butch aka bülent gürler. the a side >destruction< is a track that so perfectly fits into the scene of german minimal house, we think it will be eaten up immediately by the dj scene. the flipside track >muskatnuss< is more challenging and made for the advanced djs. this track is weird, funky, housey and more on the side of the new school of house we get nowadays from cecille and similar labels. the track makes use of samples from butchs most sought after sample libaries that include fantastic cartoon sounds he has cut up and arranged rhythmically. a stunning performance!

clone v2.0! clone back in its new form.. a series of specialized series dedicated to different functionalities, emotions and styles of electronic music. the clone loft series will be releasing more traditional house and ny influenced disco for the smaller and more intimate club settings. first of reggie dokes with probably his best release so far! a-side is a dirty but massive house track that goes down very well in any house set! at first notice this might be the main track... which most likely it is for more peak-time use... but actually our favorite is the fierce i wear the mask track on the flipside. this track has a nice jumpy beat, very light... but such a balanced rhythm that it will grab one for sure. on top it has layers of strings and a bouncy bassline and very staccato keys... and everything is so well balanced, so sensitive that it really gives us goosebumps all over! it reminds even to some derrick may tracks where he managed to make his songs emotional and fragile with the same kind of timbre and hidden energy (but then less 909 orientated and such...) it has that force, that gentle force of magic that frees that inner energy, that inner power that makes you wanna dance. what a stunning track and what a strong release by mr dokes. essential!

90s original version by dj ricci was a dance hit for different generations all over the world! the infernal party is back with a new dress, produced by alp (alessandro viola, livio gobbo e pietro berti aka outwork), with their well known sound.

brawther is a young frenchman from paris. this deephouse producer found his roots in the 90s house music vibe from new jersey, chicago, detroit, england and france. may it be true garage or deep house, the groove, spirit and energy of this period has touched him deep inside and he is now a fierce defender of what he calls true school house music as opposed to oldschool or new school: i hate when people say that this sounds old school and that style sounds old or whatever... for me, a vibe is timeless... in summer 2007, brawther releases his first e.p. under the name izmo as a 12inch on french label 9ts records, and response was great, supported and played by legendary tony humphries... disguised as a tribute to smack productions, his where is eddie e.p. touched people from all different scenes, from deep house to uk garage?

juan sanchez, the amsterdam based producer with spanish background, makes his wolfskuil debut with an impressive 2 track single. the freakshow ep is an examplary showcase of what juan is capable of. two peaktime tracks, but both with different angles. the title track delivers exactly what you expect from a song with that particular title. freaky, out of control basslines and over the top rhythmic exersises, with loads of subtle hints, clever programming and detailed edits form the freaked out basis for juans vocals. no 4 bars are the same, but the track is coherent from beginning untill the end. prepare to rip up floors with this one!23 positions shows a different side of juan. its carrying his trademark production style, but 23 positions takes a more melodic approach. beautifully arranged strings sweep in and out througout the track, accompanied by a non stop rolling groove. again there is a remarkable eye for detail, clever programming and spot on sound engineering, wich makes this tune explode from any pa.

fenou #8 - dapayk & padberg on fenou - yes! following up their brilliant >black beauty album< on fenous parent label mos ferry in 2007 and the two album remix records last year this is something new, and different. ok, the duo already had a fenou-like moment with the remix of island (feat. caro) by noze. but this a-side >sugar< shows exactly what the genre description cute minimal electronica actually means. its somewhere between clubby, but distinctive electronica beats, a vocal taht reveals a definite pop-appeal and some lounge-like tunes. the b-side >soir< by dredl kibosh is quite different from that. its a deep and relaxing track developing very slowly to leave a feeling of zero gravity in the end. thereby its not as complex as ezekiel honigs seaside pastures pt.1 on fenou06, but continues the laid-back side of fenou in a perfect way. consequently, the fenou no.8 is presented as a limited edition of 10 records

supported by: varoslav, johnny d., yakine, ray okpara, nekes, ekkohaus, federico molinari,.. fimo is mainly known as a modelling material, that you can get in different colours, to built some toy figures with. in this case the three guys from mannheim brought the project fimo alive to built >djs favourite toy<, house music! three tracks from straight minimal and tricky percussive tools to chordy deep grooves. we are sure it will makes you move.

we once again welcome back diskjokke to the motherpupp after a succesful run of releases on smalltown supersound and kindisch. 2008 was a hectic year for joachim, putting together his live band, doing remixes for metronomy, foals and lykke li to name a few and spreading melodic, trance-inducing feelgood disko gospel around the world. asa nisi masa has been causing much mayhem the last 12 months even causing girls to offer me services i wont mention here...wibbly wobbly arpeggios massaging your buttocks...very very rude indeed as already showcased on the full pupp/greatest tits compilation, >cearadactylus< is definitely a different kind of beast. slow and chugging along at a tempo even fit for dinosaurs

supported by dubfire, kombinat100, dan curtin, shinedoe, ed 2000, benno blome, dubnitzky and many more... slowly but constantly days are getting longer again and clothes become shorter and shorter. green is sprouting on the acres around and acker records delivers the perfect soundtrack for the euphoric hormone cocktail of the first warm days in spring: endlich frühling means nothing else but finally spring and that is exactly what its all about: the title song comes with plenty of cosy but pushing boost in its lower sections , above that some driving percussion and dreamy , playful melodies unfold. subtle string entries underline the very positive flow of this track. on the flipside rundfunk 3000 take up the idea of the original and add a proper pinch of melodica sounds. the result presents much more song character and is perfectly appropriate for late afternoon dance floors as well as a stimulating breakfast on the balcony. finally the track rabulka features a pretty different style: very driving bass sounds, various rhythmic elements and dubby melodies evolve an astonishing deepness. this is for the spring time!

tyrant is the dj duo of craig richards and lee burridge, who operate as a team in the booth, resulting in a most distinct mix previously unheard. while other mix discs might split chores between two different jocks, tyrant are very much a solid unit.

cynosure flag ship artist and label navigator mike shannon reaches into his archives and selects the much-anticipated “the box ep.” “the box is open” was always a highlight of many of mr.shannon’s dj sessions and live acts. this cut delivers nostalgic, old school of detroit, soulful, techno jack. a ton to digest there but there really is no other way to sum it up. adam marshall graces the ep with a stormer of a remix. taking things a step further, adam really explores a different use of the chords given to you in the original. a smooth kicking set of drums and ever elevating sequences of synth keep you on your toes never really knowing exactly when things will drop. definitely a production trait that adam is best known for and it never fails on the floor. howie mangel

he making of this record inadvertently began in cuba in january 2008. powershovelaudio was recording in la havana some of the best contemporary cuban singers and musicians. the resulting recordings were of an inspiring beauty. the situation was that powershovelaudio had this outstanding collection of voices, woods and brass, all infused by the tropical warmth. it was first-class material that should be put in the best hands possible, then maayan came to mind. ônight longö is a synthetic work. maayan has inexplicably, quickly and with incredible precision captured the essence and the expressivity of the cuban musicians and taken it to a hitherto unknown place. maayan is of course well-known for her diligent talent in inserting voices of quality in her mixes, but in this occasion the result is more than surprising. instead of concentrating in her signature minimal beats, maayan has experimented with different cadences, depths and moods, leaving behind her swirl a disconcerting record of inspired beauty. this art in this record is graced with photography by one of the best and most influential photographers in the world: moriyama daido. maayan asked moriyama san for permission to use the cover image, a request which moriyama san, after listening to the record, gladly accepted

we re not sure if theres been a whole lot of russian vocal led synthy disco around of late / ever, but we definitely like the idea of it. and so we have the first release on the brand new tirk affiliated label nang. d pulses sound is a sonic cocktail that represents the different flavours of its ingredients. great for dancing, as well as regular home listening, making love or preferably cooking. you can call it russian house, full of spirit, soul and its own philosophy. now on to the tunes. the foto mix of more combines cold robo synth bass and stripped back rhythms with the haunting tale of love, loss and the ultimate fulitility of existence (probably). the original mix lives up to the live jam side to the d pulse manifesto with organic funk and jazzy chops leading the way. fellow russian alcos coolkas carries on where his new work on tirk left off, with simple but sparkling and sophisticated electronics working away with snippets of the vocal to mesmerising effect. the package rounds off with the spacey, warm, instrumental highway to saturn. nang has launched!

mutt follows up his acclaimed treading water lp with a single of equal qual on the dj circuit, and shows a different side of mutt. look out for sinistarrs debut on inside as number 8!

deepgroove aka grayson shipley & lee pattison from bristol have crafted their skills at venues like bristols seminal lakota, emerging with a sound that incorporates a hefty measure of eclecticism within a framework of deep and twisted tribal grooves. never fearing to tread a different path when it comes to firing a crowd, their performances marry a healthy degree of contempt for convention, to an obvious reverence for the original precepts of house music. using the 4-deck format, not as a tool for ostentatious displays of mixing prowess, but as a template for experimentation, deepgroove throw everything at the crowd, embarking on sonic voyages that range from the sultry to the surreal, with the funk never being too far from the surface. coming from a strong musical background growing up around jazz musicians in west london, jamie anderson also had a love for electronic music and the art of mixing records which has been with him ever since the early electro and hip hop days

hot natured represents a sunny and modern take on classic and future classic music. subtly changing, and adding a new edge to some of the many different genres that have influenced the east london wideboy and los angeles newcomer who are behind the label. along the way hot natured will serve up disco through techno re-edits, pop remixes even slices of hip hop injected with the kind of dancefloor knowledge only a seasoned dj can tap into. whether its the reimagining of seminal artists like radiohead to kanye west, or chic to notorious b.i.g, the main goal is to do this with a certain level of sophistication and class, that is often lacking in the >unofficial remix< world.these artists and their work have represented unique points of inspiration for hot natured and its aesthetic. some might argue, >why mess with perfection?< well that attitude isnt much fun, is it? so please sit back, or rather get up and enjoy the first serving of hot natured, two naughty groove riddled versions of possibly two of the best pop records of 2008, chopped spliced and funked up by a well known london techno youngster.

schieber continues its way into more easily grooving realms and comes up with these new, elegantly sparkling tracks by berlin resident drei farben house who has already caused a stir with his delicately balanced releases on force tracks and brut!. for schieber drei farben house gives two different insights into his understanding of house music: sander is more tracky and relies on looped chords which bring you closer to house heaven with every repetition, while manifold percussions together with the beats provide the necessary injection of funk. in contrast, anagram expands the frame of grooves and chords for finely ramified bell sounds and softly glowing melodies. for his remix of anagram house routinier prudo (moodmusic/dirt crew) reduces the melodies and displays a firework of funky sound bits - a perfect tighrope walk between minimal and house which combines the best of both worlds.
