hot on the heels of phonica records inaugural release comes a new 12inch on the label from jc freaks, with a very special remix from the revenge. jc freaks is the duo of anthea nzekwu and werner niedermeier. like hector, who helmed phonica 001 with ben bryant, anthea is phonica through-and-through, working behind the counter at the london store. an award-winning dj, she produces with werner as jc freaks and has already released two acclaimed 12inchs on mojuba offshoot wandering. dub praise is a sultry, funked-up assault on the dancefloor, incredibly direct and immediate but full of subtle modulations and dub chords. theres a jacking, almost boompty feel to the track, but the blissed-out vocal snippets, rich synth-tones and burbling acid licks give it a timeless, rolling quality beyond that. this is seriously addictive stuff. on the flip theres a remix from the revenge, aka graeme clark. phonica have been huge fans of clarks releases on labels like jiscomusic and instruments of rapture over the years, both solo and as part of 6th borough project. here he reimagines dub praise as a deep disco track which is all spaced-out percussion, breezy keys and low-slung bass but has real character and intensity to it. so it is that the eponymous label run out of londons best electronic music store continues its march on the worlds dancefloors and dj-boxes - with a 12 inch of hypnotic house class that fizzes with ideas and, more than anything, groove

delusions hits the spot once again with number 3, this time highlighting the production skills of a certain zepp001. the seattle based disco obsessive has been leaking out high class edits over the years under a dizzying array of deliberately forgettable pseudonyms but feels the time is right to push his original tracks. who better then to make these beauties available for you discerning djs than delusions of grandeur. dont sleep is a dark, brooding groover with throbbing bass, cute cuica fills and intense strings that lalo schifrin would be proud of. a real heavy mood setter and as good an introduction to the sound of zepp001 as you re likely to need. next up we have the mighty revenge in for remix duties on dont sleep. the much hyped master of the edit keeps the vibe of the original well and truly in place but opts for an even more stripped back approach leaving all the space for crisp claps, slowly building strings and bowel wobbling bass. flip over for giraffe, a more upbeat affair where the filtered keys come to the fore and things steer in a hyped up deep house direction. show your luv...

the mysterious yet prolific berliner, lars wickinger, returns to living with this fantastic new ep. three solid yet mesmerising and catchy dancefloor tracks. since his last visit to the label lars has been refining his sound even further. releasing on more trendy labels than you can shake a stick at and even investing in real life hardware! oh yes hardware! remember that? the awkwardly titled alicia @ the wonderland is a tight, rolling, pleasing tease of a song that finally delivers in superb style - one you have to play all the way to the end! when that vocal drops, oh my, dancefloor craziness for sure. greenland is a tight bouncy number with an infectious groove and well placed vocal snatches and more than forgivable sax samples. the swing side of the moon somewhat lives up to its name with it s swinging dark vibe - perfect b2 material. classy stuff all the way through.

stephen hellm is back on k-records with a brand new release called “taste”, without a doubt a perfect title that really says it all. in the original version you get carried away by a dreamy melody and very subtle nature sounds in the background. listen to it at home lying in bed, or float above the dance floor in your favorite club. this is a multipurpose track.robert babicz has taken the remix side for his account. with some extra punch, a pulsating acid line, a sharp synth and even a piano riff, the master himself made it a real dance floor killer.

lifeworld presents the intergalactic techfunk from the minds of glasgows solab. known for their killer releases on 7th sign and various other labels, you know you re in for something good! distant galaxy is a deep and mesmerizing track. killer beats accompanied by a great grooving bassline provide for a tight back bone. topped by erie synth strings and spaced out effects, this track is a real burner. on the flip we have the killer track new life. this track is simply gorgeous. just check the exquisite multi layered sounds and killer percussion. sleazy and slow paced grooves. this is sssoooo good! last but not least solab take things into much housier territory. wide awake is a static paced dancefloor nugget with a deep bassline and atmospheric soundscapes. the filtered synth sound running through out the whole track gives this track a true house feeling. this just cant go wrong!

(kitsune for real!) the kitsune sieve keeps on searching for gold and inevitably some mornings the discoveries put you in a good mood. so heres already the seventh compilation : the one that strikes lucky!

limited vinyl edition of the black dog s new album on soma quality recordings. each of the 500 copies is hand numbered and screen printed by the artists. 3 x 180g heavyweight vinyl. the black dog are without a doubt one of the hardest working acts in electronic music. no sooner have they released one of 2008s best albums in >radio scarecrow< and the massive 12 inch >detroit vs. sheffield< which featured two remixes from detroit minimal grandmaster robert hood, they now prepare for their next album release. >further vexations< is a real successor to >radio scarecrow<. the thinking behind the predecessor is still very evident with even more bite, but theres something about the new album that lends itself to the dark club atmosphere. perhaps the recent bout of constant gigging has had its effect on the act because this one is going to be tearing up floors around the world on its release. >further vexations< might have taken half the time to create but still manages to maintain the same degree of meticulous detail and attention as its predecessor, and is a complete package of tracks demanding to be listened to from start to finish. >further vexations< looks to rouse the sort of political attitudes that have been sorely missing from electronic music since raves backlash against the criminal justice act in the 90s.

after a string of highly regarded releases on home label 20:20 vision, uk producer moodymanc aka danny wards strongly original sound and taste for the party has now brought his music to german shores…. his freakily percussive warehouse tool >preacher (bum bum drum dub)< recently featured on steve bugs bugnology 3 mix, and steve was so into moodymancs stylings he simply wanted more!! >snore (dubba dub)< is a finely crafted tribal edged beast, full with invigorating percussive elements, haunting vocal sustains and mancs now trademark dubba-dub stutters. its a roomfilling club tool, infused with the all buzz of a rio carnival, and indeed the warehouse jack of the uks rich northern club scene. switching musical zones slightly, but of course not compromising on quality, >next song< takes us into the darker, deeper and more playful of moodymancs acidic heritage. as a regular dj at the legendary back 2 basics club in leeds, this fellow certainly knows a thing or two about working the floor, and this cut will rock it with equal amounts of deepness and naughtiness! the original, more blissed-out version of ‚snore‘ is also included, which really shows off the musician skills behind wards productions. this real celebration of house is characterised by razor sharp percussion and tastefully soulful synth work, evolving and morphing into a dreamy yet energetic trip… quite a package!

tracks by mark trophy & sonny wharton and butch!!

minus has released a first rate selection of home grown artist albums over the past 18 months, with heartthrob, false and gaiser all creating long players of real substance and this trend is set to continue in 2009 with arguably the label’s most significant release of recent times. louderbach’s long awaited second album autumn represents another jump in the evolutionary cycle of minimal techno, having developed from the largely instrumental project that gave us enemy love into a fully-fledged song based outfit. as a result, autumn has a much deeper feel than its predecessor and indeed breaks new ground, with the dark metaphors of gibby miller’s often chilling vocal performances fitting hand-in-glove with the ominous landscapes and broken architecture that troy pierce constructs so effectively. drawing on shared influences such as bauhaus, coil and joy division, the duo have conceived an album of emotional depth and exquisite detail, appropriating the best elements of these early-eighties pioneers and reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens to achieve a perfect balance of style and content. it’s the result of an unspoken understanding that spans thousands of miles from their respective homes in l.a. and berlin and this distant intimacy is a naturally occurring theme throughout the album, manifesting itself as dark, twilight tales of melancholy romance, burning obsession and the slow, disintegration of desire

designer drugs is a new york based electro-house duo focused on making stadium rocking bangers. currently designer drugs is signed to iheartcomix records and has done over 23 remixes this year for labels such as iheartcomix, kitsune, dim mak, fools god, warner brothers, flamin hots, hail social, iamsound, etc etc, coco machette and calamity jane for artists such as little boots, the veronicas, thieves like us, treasure fingers, mariah carey, jupiter one, hearts revolution, mission control, freezepop, hail social, protokol, iamx (formely of the sneaker pimps), and fake shark – real zombie

already played by: h.o.s.h., dubfire, stephan bodzin, pascal feos, mihalis safras, someone else, steve lawler, helmut dubnitzky, david keno >ill is ill< is the 1st release from marquez ill on berlin s fantastique label, voltage musique. a stunning slice of minimal yet atmospheric tech-house, featuring a deep and sleek dub remix from monoroom, which manages to be both laid back and tightly funky at the same time. the b side also features a masterpiece of straight to the floor action named >komma klar< (berlin slang for get real) - already passing the acid test on the dancefloor of legendary club tresor, ace!

la danse de l hibouthe fourth release with bucketround follows the path left by his past references, not disregarding the exploration of new horizons. oval future face (bucketround recs) grants us his peculiar way of understanding electronic music. avoiding the hype or settled guidelines la danse de l hibou brings us right in the middle of the night where nocturnal birds of prey hunt. we are in front of his deepest work so far, full of details and rhythmical shifts shrouded in minimal sound with its own soul... as if it was meant to be just for this work, it is apt for lounge listening, dancefloors or even forests. the re mixes collection does not fall short on quality: pablo bolivar (regular) as usual everything he touches turns into gold and this time pablo does not disappoint. nimble groove full of hectic changes and sudden pauses enriches this melodic remake. a real dancefloor hit. angel galan (add sensor) theres no rule for crafting remixes and angel is the clearest example. an amazing explosion of multicolor strokes transformed into tangled logic sound.

underground classic trax is a brand new label focused on releasing original material from timeless artists. our releases will be only for djs/limited edition/color vynil no promos. for this 2nd release, we bring you some of the rarest 12 inches around. a side comes up with the amazing pfantasy club a.k.a dj pierre with never give up (circa 1988!), an amazing acid track (one of the first we guess), originally released on dancemania but we brought you the never released no vocals acid mix & obviously, it still sounds fresh & amazing today, pre techno/pre rave & whatever. essential! on a2 & b, we have one of the original house master creator (2nd wave), johnny fiasco with darkness & here i cum (unreleased extended mix) from 1995 when techno was still frightening & underground, real raw ghetto cuts that are still played on heavy rotation by real djs, they use it as secret weapons, nobody knows them really, but now you can grab it.

asd008 sees the return of alex krueger and a welcome one at that! this oneÆs 5 tracks deep (including a digital exclusive) and includes a pair of fine remixes from londoner-in-berlin, mark henning, ôblasted bitchö is tigerskin at his best. the title cut is a feast of sonic trickery, with sounds playing off each other beautifully to create a wide, dense soundscape which, paired with clipped percussion, clever dancefloor arrangement, evil laugh & crude vocal sample this one delivers tough. henning, a man known for his abilities with sound design himself, takes a darker route with his interpretation which, while still driving, is more of a heads down late night affair û riddled with oddball delays and some unnerving vox efx. ôwhat theö takes a turn to the darkside, moody, sharp, reveb laden and pulsing, the track is real heavy business watch out for that unholy belgian hardcore synth riff a la ômentasmö, thereÆs a real æmomentÆ in there. to round off the original cuts. responseö continues seeing tigerskin provide a straighter groove but one which displays some sterling keyboard work and strong break. finally, henning provides another remix of the title track as the digital only addition all too important these days. futuristic deep, tech-house is about as close as a description anyone needs for this superb final piece of an equally superb package.

delphic are the real deal, the missing link between the chemical brothers and new order, between underworld and muse. sounds like a classic rave anthem

this vinyl sampler is the 3rd of 4 and includes the classics >blackwater< by octave one, >i m for real< by the untouchables and >orbit 1.4< by second-hand satellites.
