URBAN WARFARE EP
12" 08.12.11
the new phoenix g (pg039) is an excellent deep and hypnotizing release. relying heavily on one shot chords and thumping vintage drum machines this is one for the bag. the a1 concequences is a real deep one with nice open hats and good places chords. a real open mix for the late / early hours. the b1 is a real vintage percussive slammer with nice one shots that together create a real oldschool vibe. the latin vocal in this track gives it a somewhat different vibe,really good for the dancefloor.the b2 is a dark peak time anthem. this will go off at any quality house evening. what a strange but wonderful vibe those rhodes in the middle are giving.true analog deephouse by mr.g

LEVELS / OCTAGON
12" 06.12.11
nice price deal !!! another critical release,following the deadly djs pareja single of last month. perfectly timed and cued after the recent raudive long-player on stefan goldmanns macro label. raudive is oliver hos darker, more new-wave operative, and these latest productions have caught the attention of the folks at history clock - and its a perfect alliance. the levels ep is a debased mix of sleazy, after-hours acid-dancehall with the icy cool of minimal, machine-music dynamics. essential, in a word.

SPANK
12 Inch 01.12.11
here we go with the 2nd release on circle music of the belgium michael coninx alias hermanez. this talented young belgian is both in good company and is fast earning the respect from his peers that many producers can only dream of, with releases on paul ritchs quartz imprint and release >nicotine/soms< on leena music, anja schneiders imprint, plus hermanez remixes for la factoria, and monique musique to name a few. now, after the big success of his first release on circle >locomotive< he will be back with the second one, the >spank ep<, on the mannheim german based label. the a side brings us spank. a groovy and tribal house tune who will rock the floors. the b side with stomp is more progressive and a little bit techno. very cool for every maintime set! circle music is very happy to release this nice piece of clubmusic!

DECONSTRUCTION REVISITED SLICE 3
12 Inch 01.12.11
after the huge succes of its tenth release (davide squillace & guti), hideout is back with with the third slice of the deconstruction revisited series. this time, crocodile tears, which appeared on davide squillaces tutti frutti ep (ho003) got offered three amazing relectures. it all starts with mr robert dietz (cadenza, cecille ...), who delivers a super modern and energetic relecture, where intelligent synthetic percussions mess around with weird noises and processed effects. after two minutes a monophonic synths starts its battle with vocals from squillaces original to end up on a more minimal groove. gflame aka portugese techno start cisco ferreiras (the advent) relecture directly sets the tone: a nasty bassline with a crazy synth stab flies over a soft but very heavy techno beat, to evolve to an elegant tech house track (no bongos involved). finally sis, the man behind cocolino imprint, reinterpretation starts with a long intro with the kick dropping after more than 3 minutes. the melancholic feeling of the track builds into a very subtile beat with reverbered elements all over. the percussion layers and delicate melodic synths add some organic flavour to the music so the 14 minutes remix is never boring and takes you to a nice journey thru sounds. you can tell somebody was in love when making such a beautiful song. another must have from hideout!

LESSION
12 Inch 01.12.11
after his succes on mps005, argentinean producer tacito is back for some action on micropunto.another 12inch full of dubby flavours typical of tacitos production, plus an exclusive remix by giorgio gigli (zooloft, prologue) which rounds this release perfectly.this record starts with lession, a dub techno mover that opens nicely this ep with reverberating stabs and percussive loops throughout.leaks brings us to a more mellow and melancolic mood with a break in the middle with nice freezing stabs and mellifluous pads that hypnotize us throughout the track.giorgio giglis remix dont fail to surprise us. with his refined productions he takes the main track and does a stripped down, dubbier version with melodic pads, that gives this track, giorgios special moody imprint.the third track, las flores de fidel, is on a more funky tip with nice percussive sounds while the digital exlusive track hard to sleep, closes this ep elegantly with a mesmerizing composition full of narcotic sounds.

EVERYBODY KNOWS
12 Inch 30.11.11
nice price deal !!! resurfacing a few years major his explorations >at the end of the world<, dan quin throws from left field and scores a hit with his unorthodox take on vocal house music. >everybody knows< is a party-rocker with heart and integrity, remaining loyal to the tenants of dark, exploratory house and techno while superseding the problematic attachment to the past that has retarded the development of song-based dance music. the result is a sprawling, ominous and moving piece of internally conflicted electronica, caught in the ford between a reverence for the work of electronic-pop visionaries like fever ray, and the loyalties of the vast, red-lit expanses of nyc rooted club music. featuring the fresh new talents of brooklyn native tammy k., >everybody knows< is the latest release on dope jams very own in-house record label, a new manifestation of soulful house for a new generation of dance music devotees thirsty for the universal sensibilities of the vocal without the tired cliches of yesteryear.

BLUE ORGAN EP

nice price deal !!! following on from the likes of maya jane coles and t.williams, next to release on ever cultured hypercolour off shoot hypeltd is toronto beatsmith kevin mcphee. with releases on labels like idle hands and nakedlunch in 2011, this man has established himself as one of the finest and freshest producers of the year. here turning in four more original cuts, mcphees fascination with house apparently continues apace. mcphee very much has his own fine grain analogue aesthetic… this most delightful ep only confirms that.

EXPERIMENT MUSIK
12" 15.11.11
nice price deal !!! in einer zeit der scheinbar unbegrenzten moeglichkeiten durch neueste produktionstechnik und unzaehlige samples und loops ist es axel ein anliegen, einen schritt zurück zu gehen und sich zu limitieren, weg vom stereotypen / cleanen computerproduktionssound hin zum versuch, die musik wieder als versuch, als experiment zu begreifen. er verzichtet daher bei seinem 2. soloalbum auf die allgegenwaertigen bongoloops, ureinwohnergesaenge und whitenoiseatacken, kehrt zurueck zur drummaschine und zur melodie, die sich wie ein roter faden durch axels werk zieht. ob in den anfaengen als vanguard (mit asem shama), seinem kompaktkatalog, dem ersten soloalbum kiss auf karmarouge 2008 oder neuerer veroeffentlichungen auf sportclub, suol, get physical oder ostwind, immer verleihen melodien seinen stuecken eine besondere stimmung, die sie von den ueblichen dj-tools abgrenzen.

this is a great track holgi gave to emerson during the last weeks and it truly is a hell of a tune, one of those you just hear once and remember ever since from then on,…. it has this warm crisp feel, nice chords and a monstrous groove that makes the good looking girls wanna go crazy. i am sure you want to have that one in your crate just in case,… the sound is slightly more referring to the minimal/tech house beginnings of the micro.fon labelsound but still it perfectely adds up to the labels profile. included are two high class remixes by tim xavier

WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF BA57ARD EP

stephane signore delivers an excellent record called >we live in a world of ba57ard ep< chordy and firm techno that will rock in venues with good soundsystem. with long an well constructed builds on the opening track called bad trip. this is a vinyl that will no doubt get support from larger names in the industry. the second track is the stanny franssen remix of ba57ard. this is a nice rolling remix with a lot of dynamics and way more uplifting that the original. for the 3rd track on the ep we find this original piece. this is a very deep somewhat chaotic production, this might just be the eps winning track. with a strong arrangement and little vocal edits this will no doubt get played alot. for the closing track we have got >paranoid< the title covers the load, strong dark techno music that will rock your world.

BAD CONNECTION
12 Inch 03.11.11
another well produced reeko ep on planet rhythm. this is dark angry techno music that should be played only at loud volume. the title track >bad connection< is a raw nervous track on a somewhat slower pace that will definitely get people dancing. especially for all those raves that last until 7 in the morning this is one for the peak hours. >look at me< is a jumpy non 4/4 techno rhythm with cool effects and chords, the rising synth at the end of each loop is a nice look. >in a different world< and >restart< are both tracks that fit perfectly in this new prruk record. good producers know how to build an ep in a way that it feels like chronological soundtrack. reeko knows exactly how to do this.

MOONBEAM EXPRESS
12 Inch 02.11.11
synapsis records is back with a excursion into deep house with a new record from hakim murphy called moonbeam express ep. in this presentation there are three tracks that explore the deeper side of murphys subconscious in which he describes this vinyl sound as an express trip to the moon through cosmic textures, deep grooves, and subliminal funk. moonbeam express egins the journey of soft pads that beam you up to a nice bass sound, strings, and moving percussion. weep has deep pads that begin the piece as a melody, then strings, and bass soon follow to open up moods of deepness. flirt is an uptempo joint that begins with a smooth synth then proceeds into a piano riff that sneaks up on you and teases your eardrums. yeah taking it deep.

INTO VOID (2X12INCH)
2x12" 01.11.11
nice price deal !!! incl the mega track >in a blink of an eye< - pure euphoria! decks tipp.. it would be to easy to categorize satori as a techno producer. of course there were the clubhits with his partner in crime el mundo, there were long hot nights, exuberant dancefloors, pounding beats and pure ecstasy. but the person behind satori has another side, a side that also wants to pour his personal impressions into sound. meet in to void, a remarkable debut in every sense. forget about those dancefloors for a moment, the place where satori left his mark so clearly these last years. place yourself in the person djordje petrovic, born form a serbian father and south african mother, raised with balkan music, afrobeat, jazz and world music in all shapes and sizes. someone who educated himself in playing guitar and piano and also wants to showcase this other side of his music. produced in the moments in between his sessions with el mundo a series of tracks came about that characterize satori most accurately. deep, sensitive and worldly, but mostly compelling and utterly beautiful. in to void is a musical moodboard, an emotional blog if you like, where thoughts and impressions by djordje petrovic force themselves to you in a hypnotic trip, subtle but irresistible.
