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

big latino-techno-anthem. support by anja schneider, oliver koletzki, martin eyerer, nick warren, laurent garnier, stephan bodzin, chloé… and again its the crazy greek with a fantastic second ep on great stuff (after the messages ep from january 2009). this time his mate noidoi joined in to help out with two tracks and the result is astonishing. possible sping anthems for sure…. please also check out forthcoming productions from mihalis safras on soma, bpitch control, material, trapez …… this guy is hot

the follow-up to last years deep in need, the haunting me ep brings three new soulful and sleazy tracks from dirty bee. since house has been a buzzword for the last year or two, old-timer dirty bee shows the kids that its possible to give a shout-out to the old school, while still finding plenty of room for innovation. the title track, featuring bees friend luther on vocal duties, brings a paranoid vibe that crescendos with fluttering chimes and a baltimore breakdown. on the flipside, things get a bit filthy with out of body: pounding bass with conga accents keep the tempo, while a drunken, off-kilter saxophone solo tries to find its way home. finally, the snarling, electrified bounce of work for me closes out the ep. spread the house gospel!

yore continues the global digging for the deep. after the sensational trackleton ep, we proudly welcome another new cat to our family tree. kez ym (aka japanese producer kazuki yamaguchi), whose city soul ep oozes soul in the best possible way.

with the first circle music compilation, >the world of circle< the label presented itself as a community of artists, as a family, that proclaimed continuous movement, pure power and brilliant soundscapes in various styles which have these three attributes in common. with the new circle compilation >the mechanic side of nature<, now released as compilation ep series, the dualism of nature and life is represented in the mechanic character of electronic music art. by that it is possible to give the issue of circle music the face of its music: reflecting life consequently with electronic music and digital sound poems in all its facets. on the third part alex flatner & sascha barth, anderson noise, si o’,connor vs. sykes & jake and marc vision & franco lemon are presenting their tracks

244 km!! thats the distance between berlin and hamburg. this is what hauke freer and matthias reiling do as often as possible to visit each others studios and start fighting over bass lines and kick drums. after some top notch releases on the real soon and morris audio record labels we are very pleased to welcome a four tracker from the duo at hairy claw hq. the boys open up the ep with swashbuckler, hypnotic, minimal grooves with snatches of percussion and spun in samples. very go round carries on the minimal grooves but juxtaposes jazzy snatches and wonky stabs. foot the bill introduces tribal rhythms and samples, whilst drum fest black betty rounds things off with a percussive and left field slant. a varied and impressive debut from hauke and matthias on hairy claw.

part 2 of the simple, maybe release reveals the dark side of the brothers schwarz. yeah ought to be taken literally. batten down the hatches and turn up the volume, here comes a true masterpiece. naturally, tiefschwarz have saved the banger until last. there are not many tracks out there, which make you get up and dance after two bars already. the basis of yeah is a perfectly orchestrated drum beat. a steady bass drum, rolling toms, a crisp snare, all together powered by a low-pitch synth sample in the background. a sound, that is as offensive and sentimental as possible at the same time. add a well-filtered choir sample on top and you get a deepness and amplitude that can only be mastered by the finest soundsystems on the planet. like looking through a burning glass, the break shows what tiefschwarz are really all about with this track: gradually, all sound elements are shut down, overlayed by white noise that comes with goosebumps guarantee. this spring, youll better be on the dancefloor, when the drums set in again! deininger on the b-side is an almost gloomy track, driven by a dark deep-house bass line. once again, tiefschwarz play with a wide range of elements: an off-beat synth wind section, dry tinker bells and sliced vocals, well-orchestrated by a fine mix. all together this creates the perfect atmosphere for a monday morning sun rise. exhausted, dried-out, longing for your bed and a glass of water, yet at the same time not wanting to go home. great music got soul, the perfect balance, that keeps the heart pumping and the body dancing. deininger is about this certain temper, the groove, that makes you carry on.

mutant clan is the name of the new project from timo maas and santos. these boys have really come back with a bang, havent they? having been a fan of santos productions and sound, timo arranged for some studio time together, and the rest as they say.... >inside< is a real moody bitch. with its phat planetesq bassline (not a bad thing, im sure youll agree!), rolling drums and deep ass d base, its one hell of a groove. >outside < is definitely the older, more rebellious, troublesome brother: a darker affair that growls at you from its opening bars, sounds and efx thrown at you from out of darkness. it really is a wonderfully constructed track. once again, maas and santos (aka mutant clan) deliver the goods in the finest way possible and once again, dubfire and sci+tec bring you some of the finest techno around today. a true match made in heaven

swoosh was without doubt a major underground hit in 2008 with top10 positions in all sales and dj charts. the best possible base for phunklarique & pierce to team up again this year with a massive followup named womba to continue their journey on yellow tail. plays by gorge. harada, plstik funk, ... again, it s kind of a split ep, with two totally different versions of the same idea - creating atmospheric grooves with each their unique style that has individually brought them support from all over the globe. phunklarique concentrates more on the minimal side of electronics with deep bass, a sick leadline and stabs that continuously build up in a very hypnotic way, while pierce gives it a slick, but modern housy groove with sirenlike horn sounds. we have been testing these out on the floor for quite a few weeks with amazing results, so check it out and see what it does for yourself

remember when tracks used to be fun, and people smiled on the dancefloor and gave you a big hug, and were happy to see you, and girls shook their asses from left to right in a way that didnt seem possible based on the joint system of the human body? this two-tracker from new artists solo and zombie disco squad should put the smile back in your step

!!!!!!strictly limited to 500 copies!!!!!! together with stefan goldmanns debut cd the transitory state, macro releases a strictly limited box set containing five 7? records holding the electroacoustic album voices of the dead. with his releases for innervisions, perlon and macro stefan goldmann has been a key figure at the cutting edge of post minimal techno and the renewal of house music. this album is a distinctively different affair though, reaching far beyond the scope of dancefloor electronics. starting a trilogy of concept albums, stefan goldmann searches for the common root of all music in an electroacoustic setting. from this album turret is already renowned as the intro sequence of richie hawtins groundbreaking de9 transitions mix compilation and was also commissioned by the biblioteque nationale de france for the imeb phonoteque public collection. the artist explains: at first sight we recognise upfront elements like a melody or rhythmic pattern, which we associate with a certain piece or style of music, but there is tension between two notes, hard-to-define background information that at a closer look is found everywhere - within the music of coltrane and stravinsky, death metal and 9th century byzantine chants. if there is anything like a total, secret common ground, than its this information lurking in the background. these are the voices of the dead, the heritage of an endless line of ancestors brought forward through the centuries. i tried to make these elements audible as clearly as possible. really like this weird space ambient one. ive put katorga and izo already into my final scratch computer and have been playing them! (richie hawtin on voices of the dead) record release event at berghain / panorama bar berlin on september 4th, 2008, feat. ricardo villalobos, mika vainio (pan sonic) and ulrich schnauss (tbc).

rhodes accents and analog synth melodies, while a vocal chorus ups the soul ante during the marching strut of who am i, a beautiful example of timeless house music if there ever was one. in futuristic funk, a looped voice incessantly repeats too late now, thereby adding a touch of delirium to the tunes stomping swing, after which the vocal line expands into the chanted pray for brighter days / too late now / lose myself in the future / too late now. warmed by old-school synth flourishes, congas, and rhodes melodies, millers rich and seductive club music makes surrender the only possible proposition and a release so rarely deep and musical, which is therefore not to be missed.

we are pleased to welcome dubnoodles whose previous releases on milnor modern and rundlauf musik certainly grabbed our attention. on this ocassion, dubnoodles shows two different sides of his music: the a side is funky as hell. both tracks show highly elaborated grooves with a very pleasant shuffly jazz feel. a must for adepts of frank martiniq, akufen, treplec.., and for those who enjoy playful forward thinking grooves. the b side really gives us the shivering. it unravels extremely emotional melodies, powerful strings and intense crescendos. fans of dial and neo detroit will appreciate. all three tracks are a real blessing. as usual, we tried to pack as much amazing music as possible in this release. enjoy!

all god s children is pure deephouse with driving percussion, a classic house groove, lush keyboard work and a bassline that brings you through the night. the bside sports two versions of the track anything is possible. the maison vumbi edit by xaver hinself is very faithful to the original version, which is a disco tainted take on early chicago house, and simply streamlines the track for ideal dancefloor compatibility. the filiberto marmelade remix on the other hand turns the track into a psychedelic piano-house jam with a highly addictive additional hook, a real summer tune..

incl boris brejcha remix, busy time of the year continues for the jesus loved you label as two artists join forces to put out the release no.012. the original song was produced by somewhat mysterious space explorers duo. not much is known about this guys, their music, however, seems to have a distinct oriental flavour. in the southwestern parts of europe , >kaffana< is a traditional type of barroom where male customers like to spend their spare time. the track is like a short movie, describing the life of such place. the highly percussive first segment seems to correspond to the busy evening hours with their lively music and dancing. the exotic oriental theme that follows leads you to the misty afterhours when everything becomes possible. and just like in a good movie, the last part is the most exiting, making you feel as if you were involved in a car chase..,

if top of the range minimalism with a side order of funk included is what floats your boat then this new ep could well be just the job. the inner and outer space ep follows hot on the heels of the two well received previous releases the hokarangen space project ep and diamondtrack. innocence features the menacing vocals of lucien etori to deliver a minimalist epic, if thats possible. certainly minimalism plus menace equals one damn fine track.

as the 3rd single of j.s.s. s monthly release project, this includes a remix by carl craig !!! kiyotaka fukagawa aka calm (aka organlanguage and k.f., and the owner of music conception label) and kazuyuki shimizu aka herbest moon (also known as the rapper of tha blue herb and the owner of that label, the blue herb rec), combine here as the duo japanese synchro system and started their new project. this time an original song features the rap by kazuyuki shimizu under the name of ill-bosstino (you may never have heard of japanese rap, though) and that remix by carl craig, who has been dropping amazing songs in the market. speaking of remix, we can say it uses the voice of ill-bosstino rather than making his words stand out. either of them are mighty song. and an insert with japanese rap and english translation will be included, so it makes it possible for the people all over the world to feel that everyone lives on the earth are thinking about the same things when they are on dance floor, with enjoying crazy dance music...ltd repress

incl stimming (aka orli & martie/ terminal m/ diynamic) rmx!!! . played by nudisco, ante perry, wollion, novy, the havana boys ... might be possible for the audience to come across subtleties like claps and effects of delay just on the third time listening to it the stimming remix. the chuckie remix is the perfect remix to root for the right atmosphere to begin the summer season on the balearic islands

not another promo text!?!? we find that all of the music produced by harry axt speaks volumes, therefore we simply (and happily!) offer you these two new tracks. it s worth mentioning that this is the last ep from harry axt before his album release in october on rompecabeza music. the whole summer he will indulge in a production break, so that he may doze in the sun, test every type of beer possible, demolish enormous amounts of grilled meat and danish ice cream, and then completely concentrate this replenished creativity on his debut album. then, while the sun fades away for another season, he will let the sunshine back into our ears…

limited repress, please make your preorder as soon as possible to make sure to make your copy!!! ultraphat spacin techcuts hot! // luke slater production

tuomi, as well as stefan goldmanns 1st ever production for a band! tuomi is a trio of voice, piano and double bass, lead by singer kristiina tuomi. touring the globe from europe to bahrain to south korea, tuomi perform a unique blend of superb songwriting and acoustic chamber composition. for their macro debut, the trio is joined by live strings and an array of electronics, synths and drum machines, taking their signature concept to the dancefloor in full effect. the result is stunningly adventurous house music. the title track >expense of spirit< comes with a mind blowing bass line, acting as a catchy counterpoint to the deep acoustic chords and strings. the b side also holds a minimalistic dub version. >mourning eyes< and >expense miniature< reach far beyond the dancefloor, being another prime example of macros experimental direction. a pioneering four track ep showcasing what should be possible at the junction of acoustic and electronic music today. tuomi are: kristiina tuomi - voice carsten daerr - piano carlos bica - double bass featuring: margherita biederbick - violin hannah klein - viola stefan goldmann - synth bass, drum machines, processing

big support by richie hawtin, ricardo villalobos, paco osuna, marco carola, xpansul, davide squillace... after his summer holidays in miami, damian schwartz has rediscovered his kinky latino side. his new release is a story about futuristic techno, mental and contorted dance music seasoned with a salsa flavour. química afluencia (mupa 006) is the product of the chemistry affecting the brain of an individual for whom the obstacles are unknown, now focusing his talent on a black as night house, bigger and fatter than ever. >1568 drexel av< is a conga battle, full of bitter rhythms and syntethized sounds, friction for best possible dancefloor, the one that is in your brain. *2020 replicates this same adn but in different secuences: tons of sick and nasty grooves that make you sweat like hell. just a few artist have damian schwartzs capacity of going a step further on each one of his releases

anil chawla is relatively a newcomer on the uk scene, having emerged in 2004 as dj to watch, he already released productions on such labels as global underground, saved, cubism, or berwick. anil has been sending me his work for quite some months now and everytime there was a track to play. so its naturally that we started talking about a possible release on kill brique. anils music got the necessary energy to move any dancefloor, he knows the game, and he knows how to shake your ass. this ep is here to prove that : >together< is an acid monster (reminds me, oh surprise, some of the hardfloor stuff) that builds into a very nice breakdown

pumpin minimal techno two tracker !!after their first release on armut24 in may 2007 the berlin minimal-house project nicone now presents its second 12inch on force tracks. with >habibi< and >plesna dvorana< alexander gerlach and sasha hirtenfellner created two very danceable minimal tracks. >habibi< starts with a wide range of clics, clacs and sounds of wailing wind – accentuated by a straight beat. around three minutes later the song title becomes explicit, oriental flutes complete the sound arrangement and the magic carpet ride through arabian clubnights might begin. the trip goes directly to the balkan peninsula, >plesna dvorana< is the croatian word for ballroom and a dancing crowd is exactly what the track makes possible

dimi angélis & jeroen search. both artists are among the few internationally acclaimed techno artists from the netherlands. their dj activity and production work reaches back into the early nineties. >the new frontier< melds the firmness and determination of old school techno with a contemporary subtlety. it is amazing how few elements jereon search and dimi angélis need to create a dense and compelling athmosphere. >lunar< is the kind of track that slips perfectly in a wide range of club sets. while it offers the dj a vast span of possible connections to other music, its hypnotic melody does not leave your head for hours. >jupiter< is bolder, it is centered around a demanding groove. while the melodies operate in the background of the track, the complex net of rhythmic patterns shifts indistinguishably. it is the type of music which holds you in a tight grip - and you are not even able to tell what exactly is so striking about it. its implicitness makes >the new frontier< such a special record. it belongs to the rare breed of music which does not demand to go into your box - and this is exactly why it is made to stay there for quite some time

nice price deal !!! the brand new album by the trans-atlantic dynamic duo - christian smith & john selway joins the elite roster of techno all stars on sino, the label known for all things techno. this an lp that takes the bull by its horn and show us all that quality techno is alive and kicking in the most enticing way possible. to the dancefloor weeee gooooo!

with a blend artpop-disco-industrial-techno-newwave-electro-go-go punk and live vocals this duo creates a distinctive, futuristic hybrid of dance. the compelling mix of electronic punk features both jan & ariels emotive vocals, adding a taste of yesterdays anarchist sarcastic flavor, but never interferes with the music. jan as progammer and composer uses as many analogue sounds as possible, bringing musicians into the studio, creating a virtual band. featured on various tracks of the up and coming debut album, >bang!< is the guitar mastership of the legendary east bay ray of the dead kennedys. supporting members are johann bley on drums (ex-member of kmfdm & juno reactor) jasper scholtz, bass guitar and vocals

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

"this ep combines different periods of time. oldschool and newschool elements is the key element of a modern production, no matter if its nasa or both legends acquaviva & lützenkirchen to deliver a masterpiece that is functional in every possible way. sirens and oldschool stabs on one side, combined with electronic fierceness and drumming madness. the b-side "hurt me" is more agressive, sawtooth sounds modulating through every spectrum of frequencies. at least one will get your ears bleeding or just the mind blowing if youre lucky enough to survive. cologne based producer pierce gives the >satellite< original a new face with his remix. long synth build ups, reduced drumming and massive compression focus on the basic needs and desires of a rocking dancefloor: to celebrate a break, a melody and to freak out when it starts at zero again"

l delay is all about the drama—but at the same time, its skipping hi-hats and ringing bells suggest a carefree spirit and a supreme lightness of touch. talk about a duality: a cloak of reverb sucks the track perennially towards the dark side, but from the gleeful syncopations to the cheekily sampled live instruments, everything else opens up to the light like a morning yoga position. there s no funny business here, just tight rhythms and emphatic phrases that command bodies to move. its a monster of a track, but it must be of the loch ness variety, because youll never see it coming. on the flip, >frost< —haunted by the same high, lonesome string note as >l delay<— might be even more energetic, if that s possible. the high end has been smoothed down, and some of the roughhewn chicago edge of its companion tune sanded smooth, but its crazily syncopated standup bass line and distant, answering keyboards is all muscle, tensed and ready to explode. spacious drum tracks clear the floor for flashes of tambourine and handclaps so dry you can taste the salt on em. again, no nonsense is the name of the game: just raw, unadulterated funk with an ear for playful rhythms and limber moves

dont worry, christophe dalla-ca aka kiko is not interested in a seventies disco revival, even if the tongue in cheek reference to john travolta in the title track of this ep might imply that. on the other hand, the work released by the man from grenoble for such renowned labels as ozone, hot banana, goodlife and turbo has consistently shown that kikos interpretation of techno from the 2000s also includes a conscious reworking of past dance floor orientated electronic music. in this sense, kiko has succeeded in making three stand alone, coherent interpretations of a mutual meltdown of new wave, disco and elektro, with the tracks on the >tragolta ep<. whether he is impressing with the best possible mix of ebm and dave clarkes red series (30.1) or enchanting us with the continuously jewel like, dazzling melancholic melodies of >electric burst< or >tragolta<– the fact remains true that he perfectly supplements this approach to the sound cosmos of datapunk

bastian heerhorst and patrick meissner from hamburg, first met each other in the end of the 90s by their common love for graffiti. inspired by the hamburg night live, they decided very soon to work creatively together, also for their music productions. because of bastians long time experience in electronic music and the revolutionary development of the virtual instruments, the two guys were fast able to obtain quite dancable results, also with a small budget. begun with the rather modest possibilities of a 4-tracker on the amiga and the first live-acts with a groovebox, bastians liking to produce and to experiment with all possible styles grew. since also patrick came in contact with electronic music in hamburg s scene already early, it was somehow predetermined that in the future not only walls, but also dancefloors gonna be rocked. the project >heerhorst & meissner< was born and with kompass musik a label was found, which was courageous enough to publish the first tracks of duo…

desvio has materialized into a monolitihic label pushing the boundries of what is deep to new uncharted depths. here we are with the continuation of the sedation in noise series number eight and possible one of the strongest to date. the a side is classic slam mode, subtle, cinematic, dreamy and techy at the same time. take yourself to the b side and you are deep in ame territory. imagine a track like rej with much more nyc beats ala ibadan and dennis ferrer and you re close to what we re talking about. ready for the big systems

after the massive success with abyss14, this one pushing that vibe even one step further. cristian fischer, with releases and remixes on labels such as sway, patterns, ignition, yin yang, sketch and many more is really doing the electronic tech vs minimal in the best possible way..

the first three releases from this label are still causing quite a stir on the heavier side of the scene and if this release is anything to go by, it looks like this label will be another big contender come breakspoll! the fourth release comes from more fresh new talent state side. and features two bady boy mixes on the flip from glitch artists soteg and datapusher & modolus two artists who are pushing production techniques further than previosly thought possible

eveybody s gay... suggests however a musical idea that could not be simpler, a kind of atonal electronic blues with a recurring motif. yet, everything hinges on keyboards riffs and song rendering which allow d.i.p to bowl us over exultantly. if everybody s gay... is playing on self-restraint, on the b-side perfect day launches a head-on attack on the dancefloor with overworked disco-techno-rock intentions…and, present as always, those acid-electro-gut-wrenching tones. we can also notice that florian s personality shines out in broad daylight, as if it was possible, amazingly playing on voices. seducing and convincing. everybody is definitely ok: if a second ep is always a decisive test for a producer, d.i.p. compels recognition on the popular credibility form. moreover those little brats take advantage of the opportunity to sign right through the sheet

phil barry first started playing guitar at the age of 14, learning jazz, classical and rock styles and bought his first drum machine and four track soon after. hearing dance music at the end of the 80s made phil think that a fusion between dance and rock could be possible and he formed a band, >cubanate<

ellen allien and apparat, two headstrong musicians who indeed differ in their musical context but still come together not just at the peripheral rims, collaborated on an album together: >orchestra of bubbles<.by a deep plunge into the world of sound of their counterpart both are trying to find gateways in order to expand their own possibilities. while apparat used to stand for an algorithms-based aesthetics and ellen allien fathomed the possible heights and depths of the dance floor widthways as well, for their joint production they dabble in a principle which electronic music is dedicated to from the very beginning and which is now only spelled differently: contingency

naples techno sketch records run by davide squillace. with his urge for innovation and drive to create and explore various aspects of techno music, davide kick starts the minisketch sub-label as an outing for his more minimalistic explorations. the sub-label moves toward the deeper regions of techno grooves with as little ingredients possible.

ultraphat deeper detroit tech mover !!!

this one is defintely a masterpiece and possible what could be the biggest dance tracks of the year. plays by adam beyer, carl cox, mauro piccoto, marco bailey, umek, valentino to name a few! produced by eric prydz

a stripped-down cut with some nice drums and a simple horn loop. must be heard on a monster system. 'all is possible' is an old school deep house romp with a cool uplifting vibe. on the flip the young governors (tony hewitt and joey youngman) keep their hot streak alive with a sizzling cut-up, dub-heavy mix of 'montevideo.' another essential ep from the tango camp!
