symp.tom welcomes another new name on the imprint, this time its nobody other than sei2ure who strengthen our ranks!
known for his very raw distortion-packed style, sei2ure aka jan kamphuis already gained a lot of fame with his smashing tracks at enzyme records (pneumatic transmission, zinc, armorgeddon and rocket fuel to only name a handful). we always felt that sei2ure would suit perfectly on the symp.tom label and therefore we are very happy to have him unleash his newest ep >noise pollution<!

remember your first time at a rave? of course you don’t. and if you do, you either did it wrong or you’re a liar. with the latest installment of the 7777 onslaught, jared wilson aims to remind you of a time you dont remember. this ep is a souvenir back in time. beyond the zero and beyond the one and back into the analog bringing back memories you never had and experiences you never felt. paris massacre is reminiscent of a time when function mattered more than form and fashion, when sound systems and no lighting took precedence over state of the art fashion shows and laptop djs. its not nostalgic by any stretch of the word, though. how can one be nostalgic for a time they cant recall? the flip of the record is the wonderful >scmocid<, a wonderful reexamination of what it means to work a 303 to near death.

this scottish producer puts trapez ltd again on the techno map. after a couple of more housy releases on trapez ltd this release is a tougher one.&#8232,,circular star works techno a bit in a post detroit fashion... the sounds smells of industrial sites, burned rubber and has that certain sexy machine rhythm to it which we always felt was the jeff mills factor. they have little glamour about them, they are true and a direct force.

serge santiago returns to his own arcobaleno label with two hot new edits… in serges own words…
a. serenissma: >i ve heard a couple of mixes of the original that i really liked but felt i could never play them out, it needed a bit more of an edge so i set about doing this version, really hope like it now it finally on vinyl<
b. magical body: >as nearly all italo records go, the original had a chord change that i just couldnt deal with, i took this out, eqd the bass, beefed the kick a touch and re-played the top line, it doesnt sound too bad to tell you the truth<.

the infamous krause duo is back on philpot! it took them 4 years to come up with these soul-grinding pieces of deep swing. teaming up with large maeurer again whose minor keys adding that certain blues, we felt for on their first release in 2006 (php012). this is f... irresistible dance music with an edge! please make up your own mind on this one - we simply love it!

luke slaters mote-evolver label is enjoying an impressive run of form. having chalked up one of the standout cuts of the autumn in the shape of cari lekebuschs >spindizzy< and dropped two floor-shaking futuristic techno megabombs from ortin cam (>carnage< & >felt<) either side of the new year there can be little doubt that the long-standing label is as relevant now as it ever has been.
one of the key players in finlands techno scene, samuli kemppi has a reputation for making forward-thinking, boundary blurring electronic music. coming up to his tenth year as a producer, his knack for blending the best of the past with cutting edge sounds has seen samuli appear on labels as diverse as ovum, siesta, komisch and prologue, providing all the credentials necessary to understand why samulis style has consistently drawn attention from all corners.

vizual - the brain and soul child of joshua iz - its even part of the name. after working with many of the most respected labels in underground dance music, including prescription, classic, om, guidance, diy, joshua &#64257,,nally felt it time to create his own imprint, hence vizual. drawing from a myriad of in&#64258,,uences, from heavy jamaican dub to bleepy detroit techno, vizual seeks to develop new musical forms that bridge the gap between pure organic music and abstract electronic sound paintings, yet creating something danceable in the process.

another hot limited marcellus pittman release with 3 tracks. already been played by theo parrish and omar s. dirty raw house tracks from detroit! on a dark dance floor you will be given a glimpse into the heart and mind of marcellus pittman. fit sound, a new imprint from detroit,debut with an ep from the talented detroit producer marcellus pittman. erase the pain, is a mutated acid banger carefully arranged to be absolutely devastating when in the right hands. twisted bass lines and synths travel together and divert over a fierce jacking beat. sync is a night drive through the city streets, but this night is strange because the sky has become purple. grey buildings turn into unrecognizable forms. people standing on street corners, now appear to be zombies lurking in the darkness. is this a nightmare or is this for real? illa 5 ela brings it all back to the days when you first felt love for that special somebody. early white labels copies have been tested in clubs worldwide and the results are unanimous: killer. follow theo parrishs advice, dont sleep...serious rugged service right here!

juan pablo pfirter and gary beck, two of the most uptodate technojerks these days, are the openers for the remixseries on alex baus credo imprint. delivering 10 high class techno releases over the last 3 years alex felt it was time to see how other professionals deal with his soundmaterial, and the first remix 12 inch could not be better. pfirter with a remix that couldnt be more fat while gary beck chooses the more dark approach with an enormous drive on the bass. this is a statement, and the following remixes from people like chris liebing, secret cinema, perc, jonas kopp, remute and drumcell will have to perform well to keep the level! top techno productions, just as you are used to on credo!

back in the day, when i discovered the music from reggie dokes and the psychostasia label i felt something similar as when i listened for the first time the music from lil louis at the end of the 80s. i mean... is this music really house? it must be because all the good househeads play and respect his stuff... perhaps just for that different and unique way of make house...

slowly but surely, a constellation of young artists have expanded around ali, basti, philipp santé. in the night, they share the same decks thanks to the newly created souvenir booking entity. during the day, they swap beats and samples in the studio of tiefschwarz located in prenzlauer berg, building up a new creative energy, which is giving birth to the 23rd release of souvenir on vinyl.adam port, re.you and rampa, already had their own shines this year on souvenir. now, its the turn of &me (front room, keinmusik) and fischer & kleber to release a new must-have record permeated with the best groove coming from the german capital city. on the a-side, &me brilliantly hurts with bleed. he punches on the left with an unstoppable drum, weaves on the right with an hypnotic loop, that stirs mental alertness up, barks his anger with a digital whouah going fast and forward and compelling any dancer to incredible footwork. knocked out! robert fischer & niklas kleber had in common an electronic liveact discokonzentrat (high nrising records) and a band spurv laerke before bringing in their new project, fischer & kleber. they set with berki on the flipside the singular but no less enjoyable soundscape of a cathedral under construction. lightening up with deeply felt and almost religious whispers, the shrilling noises of computer-generated machine-tool, the mechanical and cold precision of a pitched down digital rock-drill, the duo turns >berki< into a canticle of the new millennium

this is the track that has been burning down the house this summer, this is punk-funk techno ... this is >fables and fairytales<. a deep, dark and wonderful cut of distorted house music from adam marshall and nicholas murray under the alias n/a featuring the voice of rosina… a creation that touches the heart, body and soul with an intensely passionate sound, producing one of the best crosstown rebels releases yet.
from the vocal chorus so hooky and cool - to the kind of bassline you will be humming hours after the club, this piece of lfo tech-funk brings adonis, the slits and the fatback band into the same room and melts them into one shining gem. falling horns and random stabs, a punk funk vocal that is truly infectious, crosstown rebels #54 grabs you at the beginning and doesnt let go for the next twelve minutes. a faultless anthem for the coming nights…
on the b side, the latest artist signed to rebels, the uniquely talented deniz kurtel, stretches the hook into a dubbed out trip of groove-infused techno. morphing and twisting the ferocious female voice to sensual whispers and heart-felt cries, she works more enchantment into this anthem and builds a serious groove for a dark room.

>the cockpit< is my personal favourite song of the chelonis album and it has taken my sleepless night (and days) to watch out for the right remixers. now that all new versions are ready, i m more than happy because all three fellows have felt the real vibe of the original song. a spezial thanx to ekkohaus who delivered two different mixes and spent a lot of energy and passion into these productions. and also merci to steve rachmad and paul woolford, guys who stand rather for techno, however improved their soul into creating passionated tech house! chapeau! (marc romboy, september the 28th 09)

welcome to the world of mysterious organist & producer dan electro. dan electro is a charming guy who lives very far away from the sytem of babylon. his music is out of time... it carries the reminiscence of a time when people played music simply for the love of it... his touch is magnetic, mystical and inspired. dan electro musics really got soul. but the man has a complex background... for a long time, he played bass for the slow slushy boys, a band that still performs today one of the best rooted rythm & blues around the world. dan electro finds a great part of his inspiration within the universe of geniuses like louis jordan, eddie kirk, the five royales and the barefoot gospel divas sister rosetta tharpe or winona carr... and he is still involved in music that talks to both your ass and your soul... with a preference for the first !
the lucky discovery of farley jackmaster funks >fix me< revealed dan electro the connections between black music at its core roots and contemporary house music. shortly after, he started producing some amazing tunes that felt like love affairs between old church organs and mad computers... sung by ageless preachers & divas. his music has been played by djs such as gilles peterson, joey negro, sumo, recloose, dj morpheus, spiritual south, nick v, michael rutten, rainer truby, nik weston, unabombers, erik rug, philarmonix, patchworks, stevie sole... radios as bbc 1, frequence jazz, xfm scotland, radio fg, compost radioshow... enjoy !

so the story goes: a few years ago i played a cool underground party in stockholm with my good friend and crazy record collector mark seven. early on that night mark played me this beautiful and melancholic piece of music. mark happily handed me his spare copy and my record collection for a second felt a little more complete… originally released as a b side track to als slipshod ep on out of the loop the track continued to mesmerize whenever i played it and the fact that so many people loved it and equally as many didnt know the record i though a re release could be a great idea. its inclusion on gerd jansons recent sonar kollektiv compilation and the fact that its been played by legendary dj harvey ( o bearded one as hes known to by the initiated) has obviously helped to spread its fame to. the previously issued part 1 with the original and bogdan irkük remixes has gone down a storm with all the cool movers and shakers... oh yeah baby. now its time for the last chapter with equally mindboggling gatto fritto remix, mark sevens version and my own just plain silly rework. toodle oooo, thomas(oslo, 7th of august 2009)

as an instrumental track all about love was released back in early 2008. to be found on the highly acclaimed big love ep from knee deeps love trilogy ep series. all about love received remarkable wide range club plays. and during the wmc this heavy clubtrack was the flavour of the month. in spite of everything the kneedeep guys couldnt let the track go. somehow they felt it could be a raving success if lyrics would be added. and beeing known for their big vocal workouts the kd duo teamed up with the voice of cafe del mar, misscathy battistessa! it turned out to be a more than fitting collaboration! knee deep and cathy - more than ever poeple battistess layed down this beautiful soul searching song for the summer season. three mixes will be served by ralf gum and mister lovebirds of kd fame himself. all about love is a must have and future classic tune.

nice price deal !!! defcon records welcomes the in miami and madrid resident artist and dj john stevens, who already released on labels like cobalt recordings, global muzik rec. or deux mind records. a real summer feeling provides his newest 3 track production >your love is real to me< how it is probably to be felt only in miami. all three tracks comes along summery laxly and easily, besides, keeps always certain coolness. the main track >your love is real to me< could become a real summer hit in miama or ibiza and we are quite sure, that he will also sweeten our summer.

olmeto, a small town in corsica, is infamous as the birthplace of the family vendetta. we chose the name as it has an air of mystery but also a bit of fire. we felt that we wanted a label with us as the only artists free to do what we want, how we wantà this is release number 23. all have been ours, and range across the house spectrum, vocal, minimal, tech and deep and probably a little of each in all. the raw road and madagaskar whilst different, are made from the same mood. a strong rhythm with elements brought in and out, like a good dj, you lock the groove and then begin to play around it. although all tracks are by us, we do bring in artists we like to remix from time to time. the raw road will be remixed by mark broom and nic fanciullli and they will join artist such as loco dice, green velvet and unkle who have both remixed tracks over the course of the label.

the original pressing of >get off< with serato control vinyl on the bside sold out before we even got them all back from the pressing plant. unfortunately we weren t able to press any more with serato, but we ve been getting requests all along and now that we ve got this jamming new remix from jack beats, we felt the time was right. if you don t know jack beats, they are plus one (of scratch perverts) and beni g. these guys are heavy on the uk scene and have recently done remix work for lady sov, white williams, ac slater, does it offend you yeah?, caspa, black ghosts and much more. they turn in an epic remix that switches from rough mid tempo drums and baltimore hey grunts, to one of the craziest electro wobble things we ve ever heard. seriously. crowds have been eating this thing up and with support from djs like craze, a-trak, kissy sellout, drop the lime and boyz noize this is bound to be a big tune for summer. of course you also get the original line up with the diplo produced >get off<, the awesome bonus beats, and the rob3 remix.

dj support from skream, laurent garnier, si begg, mysterious mr o (detroit grand pubahs), nerm, otto von schirach, and many more!
take electro bass noise, gore grind, idm glitch, calliope, breakcore gabber jungle, gangsta rap, mix them all together and what you get? otto von schirach . for æbass lowÆ the oddball shreds hip-hop ( i always felt that hip-hop beats need shark-bite rhythms or chain-sawsounds ), corrupts miami bass and perverts techno, saturating his hard drive with sonic detritus . otto von schirach (half cuban / half german) was born in 1978 in the swamp infested refugee world of little havana miami.

from out of a clear blue sky comes ?my electric family?, the second full-length and third all-round release from new zealand?s bachelorette. bachelorette?s music beams to us through a universe of unconquered pop music, where long beams of sunlight extend to infinity, and blue moons rise wistfully in the deep purple expanse. she stands in the cradle of modern songwriting, that of psychedelic pop music. the sense of infinite possibility felt in those songs, the desire to manipulate a collective sensation to become anything at all, informs bachelorette?s journey. bachelorette?s song structures are traditionally examinations of love and longing, the exploration of self versus self and in relation to the surrounding, silent universe. the songs of ?my electric family? emphasize a particular fascination: the meeting of man and machine. ?my electric family? is an arresting development in the world of sweet pop music.

stevie kotey & max essa first salon de l herbe ep was released via electric minds in may 2008 providing a twisted journey of dub, disco and electronica and given the thumbs up world-wide by todays elite producers & djs . the standard continues with the 2nd ep, which sticks to the same theme in providing three deep and underground cuts. the live drums, guitars and slick arrangement provide a musical journey that sounds immense when piped through any decent club system. >1986< will provide a great vibe for any club while >1978 it felt great< & >guitars< balearic feel will be perfect for this summer. all in all three amazing tracks

this is the tune for getting spiced on the dancefloor! no more boring klicks and klacks, time for energy again, that s what alex must have felt when treating his gear in the studio while processing these two outstanding tracks. really remarkable techno again from alex bau, just as we are used to it and know from him for quite some time now. the tracks appear in a moderate design of sounds, avoiding to harsh and hard action, but the fierce leadsoud of wasabi tune vol 1 will surely make everybody moving, just as the usual suspects playing it already: stephan bodzin, liebing, technasia, perc, gary beck, florian meindl, mihalis safras, mr. beyer and many more. very very big tune! must have for this summer!

henry l is the new moniker of cologne based producer/dj thats already known to the drum & bass world as henree (with releases on established labels like soul:r, cia deepkut and soundtrax just to name a few). even though hes still busy in that genre (unless others) it was about time to contribute something to a genre he always felt and took inspiration from. the other day at the basement reminds on an early mood ii swing vibe, pitched down to the right tempo. marcus worgull stripped down >the other day at the basement< a little, focussed on dubby stabs and added some wonderful harmonies to this hypnotic tune. when the soulful piano comes in, theres no question that this marcus worgull dub is one of his best remixworks to date. >wake up< is a sexy 109 bpm monster and as funky as house should be. if you need one word to describe this dope jewel it might be bouncing!<. just awesome dope shit, soulful, slow and moving

dave clarke on both artists:sie: i cannot exactly remember how i came into contact with sie, but i remember the warmth that i felt from her music, this is one of white noises more melodic moments just to show the broadness of music out their that deserves to be taken notice of.

the home of quality deep house. pengs very own maestros of music the rurals deliver a real slice of sumptuous vocal house as only they know how! jay tripwire unleashes a slightly darker, retro-tinged outing using snippets of the vocals alongside stabby synths & rolling beats. the original & candy dealers mix are bursting with uplifting chords,sweet melodies and heart-felt vocals

when we first started thinking about the compilation, we had in mind the idea to put together a great minimal techno selection with stuff from the early 90s, which really inspired us, like robert hood, dan bell, plastikman, pansonic and mike ink to name a few. whilst working on the project we had the feeling that there is so much more great and influential minimal music from way before the techno thing started. so we were very excited to combine the music from the electronic pioneers, with the tracks from the minimal techno godfathers in a very modern way. in minimal music there is so much (space) in between the sounds and the space that gives you a lot of opportunities for an own interpretation. the grandfather paradox is a scientific theory about time travelling and was first described by the science fiction writer rene barjavel in his book - le voyageur imprudent. we took suggestions out of that because we felt like we are travelling back in time and manipulating the old music with modern knowledge. the fact that we did all this with the deserved respect to the originals makes us quite sure that the results are bringing something new and interesting to the old tracks and transport the past into the here and now. - henrik schwarz, ?e & dixon

the dutch rush hour mob getting involved in the no info, no sleeve, no messing about techno game, this is undoubtedly affiliated with rednose distrikt, but, you guessed it, more techno-y. if you liked the seldom felt stuff, or aardvarck, or any of the hardwax stuff, you will be digging this in a big way.

after his airwalk/overrun 12-inch, henrik b obviously felt like dropping something more noisy and pounding. his remix of >let it drop< by dj delicious is just that. with the usual thick and somewhat trancey synth sounds always coming from the leading producers in sweden recently, it fits perfectly in any kind of driving electro set. includes john dahlback s huggotron remix

million dan is the man of the moment. with his killer album on the streets he is quite rightly regarded as the top uk mc right now. this little 7 inch is not as cheeky as it sounds. sam webster (aka sloth from headcount records) was working on some admin with the million dappa records team and when he heard the scream out original track he was really into it, but felt it could do with a re-rub that brought the energy out of million dans vocal delivery.

tom stephans chumbomundo label is proud to announce a new series of eps highlighting hot new artists in scene: headztom really felt that he needed to give new artist a break on his label, as he receives so many cool tracks, whilst playing abroad. ep 1 has a true international feel with artists from the usa, italy, uk and the netherlands, covering tribal, twisted, prog and electro grooves.

when i first started making the drum on my mpc it sounded like a battle of drums i then added some stabs from the machines, trying to make it sound like the oldschool chicago tracks. this track is all about editing, drum programming and of course the inimitable tap repeat touch that only the mpc can generate. the end result is ninted house, a pure floor killer for all you real house heads. the clash is not a reference to the band but i felt the track goes well with ninted house it has the same mpc groove. stabs and hip hop sampled voices that remind us of those kind of tracks, where editing and sound mixing are more important than the musical elements. its that breadth in house music that i love. enjoy those two floor killers and dance ur ass off! franck roger

be is from manchester. his music has no equals. here is how be describes his superb disco sound. each day brings inspiration. people, words, skies and sounds form the solid foundations of the personal experience that be uses to express the abstract ideas drawn from these interactions. a deep love for soul music, jazz, funk, disco and electronic, combined with a respect for those who have gone before and created allows be to embrace performance and production with an open mind. experimenting with recording techniques, sampling, direction and writing, be works with music as a dj and artist to express a universal message that can be felt by anyone who listens.

nice price deal !!! formed of s windett on vocals / guitar and arp on drums, the pyramids are the louder, heavier, seedier little brother of archie bronson outfit. the two members of the archie bronson outfit who, during the long sessions for their remarkable second album, derdang derdang, felt a craving to crank out some instantaneous, lightning in a bottle rock n roll. recorded in a rickety barn deep in the countryside on an old 16 track tape (the same one which recorded pj harveys dry), hunch your body, love somebody is a raw and edgy song about fucking and getting over someone, and a taster of whats to come from the bands self titled debut album, due for release later this year. the songs for their spirited, sulphorous debut were written in a single weekend, observing the pyramids hunger for the moment. the takes captured on the album were often the duos second or third run through the song in question. comes in special pyramid shaped vinyl

who needs an obtrusively acting kickdrum, when the decent wobbling bassline of breezin does the job just as good. right nobody. or, at least peter grummich (shitkatapult/ spectral/kompakt) doesnt, whose proverbial deepness constantly gets the floors into rapturous body rolling. thus it was just a question of time to welcome this man to karloff, the label for everything thats different. here, all medium dated orientation to felt (rather than experienced) standards is gladly left to other persons of great hope, whilst enjoying the border crossing between dorky monkeyshine and serious spirit of adventure. consequently, quick thinking misbehaviour is also the attitude of the (for formal reasons called) b side, where the horizon gets canvassed for both weird and life affirming sounds, in grasp of the groove. summarizing dance music to breathe deeply.

after a fairly long break with mousevillethe production genius that is eric prydz returns under his cirez d moniker to deliver this heartstopping new weapon on his mouseville imprint. he felt it was important after the many copycat versions of his tracks to deliver something for mouseville that was not only devastating but also fresh and boy we were not disappointed!! these 2 tracks will be 2 of the biggest this year with the a side track horizons combining sublime melodies and vocoded parts with slamming drums and eric s charactaristic killer bass.the flip side is a filthy affair with huge dirty bass and killer drums which will be played as a peak time weapon by djs across many genres

the mistress of melancholic driving club techno returns. mia hasgone to exam and has extended her knowledge of alchemy fundamentally. after the first big throw schwarzweiss – which has reamed out lots of clueless dj’s with its sharp edges – now follows a far more mature album which compiles tracks just as thrilling, to an extremely danceable trip through the abysses of human sensitivities

after a string of excellent records on planet noise, dialect recordings, crosstown rebels and punkt, ost & kjex (cheese & biscuit) are back in the land of cheese for another mighty slice of vinylicious musical delights! we felt >milano model< (original mix on dial009) was so special it deserved the remix treatment, so we had a little chat with our norwegian friends and we agreed upon two names: rob mello & mungolian jet set. rob s superb career has seen him record quite a few dancefloor burners on such labels as classic, crosstown rebels, azuli, 20:20, city rocker, rekids and now on his own disco 45 imprint. composed of paul >strangefruit< nyhus, knut saevik, reidar skar and sometimes featuring the knights of jumbumla and many other colourful musicians of great talent, mungolian jet set have already cause quite a stir with their amazing remixes of kreeps, lindstrom, lsb, bebel gilberto and their own productions on jazzland records

house music producer, songwriter and vocalist roland clark aka jesus jackson/urban soul must have felt the 50 degrees heat of dubai that influenced him to deliver such a quality & deep vocals and chose the right label for it from dubai. raisani&guidera of dubai rework on the single & deliver the right stumping new york vibe deep club remix that has been everyones favorite & a perfect dance floor anthem.

***massive club anthem**** finally the first production pouxy prod, new label angevin of oups well-known association of the magnet medium. on this first maximum vinyl, two tracks effective composed by arno gonzalez and elysse, >higway11<, first track deep magnet felt well with an acid environment and incisor, intended for the hottest afters. the other track, >need hit<, certainly the tube of the reentry, with a monstrous kick, a station-wagon hip-hop tortured and altered with the sauce made in >very bad kids< will turn over, undoubtedly, next the dancefloors of france. to listen and dance in the modern evenings with the jungle

archipel label boss jean-patrice remillard is happy to bring you his debut 12inch, >lignes et directions.< this strong, heady and electrifying release is pheek at the top of his game, constantly pushing the psychedelic envelope to new heights. beginning with >orage solaire< a strong acidic presence is felt with shatter fragments of pineal crystals ready to shock you into a state of suspended post-apocalyptic atmosphere

frankfurt based power drummer & full time action dude p. lauer (punkt music, real soon) starts his own label. lauer felt the urge to launch this small low key ego-label just for himself and maybe some friends to put out some explosive proto dance music. the first record contains non-sensedisco flavoured freak tunes between 120 & 124 bpm!

fluxions ripple effect is the film score for a non-existing motion picture. this 9-track album is the result of experimentation and the combination of the producers two most cherished art forms: electronic music and score music. ironically the two worlds rarely seem to meet, despite the fact that score music has adopted a looser form in order to better adapt to film accompaniment, bringing it closer to electronic music which attempts to contradict form or shed it altogether. fluxion felt the need to bring these two musical forms into dialogue with each other, lending structure to electronic and deconstructing score music to create a malleable and expressive hybrid. the albums production took two years from its original conception for the subliminal story to unfold into the completed product. fluxion wanted to say as much as possible through the music, leaving the visuals as a blank canvas for the listener to create their own story. in the end, the goal is to give each member of the audience a unique audiovisual experience based on their own perception and interpretation.

uzelli kaset was established in 1971 by muammer and yavuz uzelli in frankfurt, germany. their music resonated not only with the longing that gastarbeiter (guest workers) felt for the homelands and families they had left behind and the melancholy brought by their difficult living and working conditions in germany. uzelli kaset was soon more than just a music company it became a companion to turkish workers living far from home.
