the third in the series of the exotic, wannabe erotic, and intermittent black label series from a certain east london label & promotions team sees the elusive man of the moment jonny rock step up to the plate with a knockout curveball of a slam dunk house trio. dark, brooding, yet straight up party music.

im grunde genommen braucht man über die beatsteaks aus berlin mittlerweile keine großen worte mehr verlieren. ausverkaufte tourneen, headliner bei festival-größen wie highfield und rock’n’heim diesen sommer – der ruf als deutschlands beste live-band kommt nicht von ungefähr! bereits mit dem letzten album »boombox« (2011) stand die band auf #1 der charts und bekam goldstatus verliehen. mit dem siebten streich besinnen sie sich ganz auf sich selbst und tauften das neue album schlicht »beatsteaks« (vÖ: 01.08.2014). vorab verschenkten sie mit »dna« einen knackigen punkrock-song an ihre fans, die erste single »gentleman of the year« kursiert derzeit mit einem unwiderstehlich charmanten video durch die medien und schallt den sommer über aus den radiostationen. wenn dann noch moses schneider als produzent für die elf songs an den reglern sitzt, bewahrt sich die eingangs erwähnte formel: man muss nicht viele worte verlieren über die beatsteaks aus berlin.

hitsafe are a duo of established producers operating under an enigmatic moniker. nothing new, you might say, and that is true. the music is so outstanding and unusual though, that in this case this approach really does make sense. serious jaw-work is funk in its purest form. and we mean real funk! wonder how many djs will have the guts and abilities to play this one out…to round this release up, we asked lopazz and casio casino for a remix and these guys came up with two! both are so good, we couldnt make a choice. so here we go with both of them on this release. the jack remix on a2 is a functional tech housy Überhit, suitable for all peaktime house floors, the jane remix on the b-side is a moodymanesque version with a strong ludicruous tendency, that has all necessary qualities to become a timeless epic. massive!

in the 70s radio stations were a powerful force across the whole of the us, and anyone with a transistor radio had access all kinds of music. live music was another matter altogether, and unless you found yourself in a major city your nights out were limited to what the local talent had to offer. this was especially so with soul and funk acts, as mainstream rock and pop was where the money was. so for small time oklahoma soul bands such as husband and wife charles and barbara burtons groups messengers inc - and later burton inc - times were tough. however, like many purveyors of soul, tough times were no match for those with determination, persistence and a story to tell. many artists scraped enough money together to make a 45 or two on their own label, but the burtons took this to another level – they got themselves organised and released their own full length lps.

with the track *time machine*, dj and producer michael nielebock provided us with a fantastic debut on our deep circus label. his first success came for the berlin resident with the track pure visionson the treibstoff label, which entered the charts and the record cases of many international djs. his productions all are characterized by a driving groove, mixed with spherical elements, strings and synth-sounds. with *time machine* he also managed to bring this mixture to perfection in cooperation with his studio buddy leevey, thus creating a track which will make the day and caress the ears of many outdoor dancers this summer.
the second track on the ep is a wonderful remix by burak sar aka sis, who recently released his second album *confidance* on his label cocolino. the sis remix stays close to the original track, but reduces the spherical sounds and puts a greater focus on the basses, resulting in a great piece with a lot of deepness. nice!
