ricardo jefferson is a producer and dj based in manchester, england. the four tracks on this ep demonstrate a distinctive style. the roots of his sound are in funk, disco, space rock, prog rock, but he has melded them into a sound that is more than just the sum of these elements. this is funky, bass-heavy, trippy techno for the dance floor. a1 a brutal truth. this is a big tune that builds relentlessly. the track has an inclusive, celebrational, feel which simply invites everyone to lose it on the dance floor. 124bpm. a2 persons unknown. this tune doesn t have the relentless build of a brutal truth. instead, this is a tune to drop when everyone on the dancefloor is in the zone and locked into the groove. a finely crafted trip created with multiple delays skittering around the sound field, anchored by the funky bass heavy groove. 123 bpm. b1 the egg part one. a track employing a tight kick drum of differing weights to propel the groove, overlayed with a circular keyboard motif. on the off-beat, add the processed sound of someone hitting a metal sheet, and viola! - one aggressively funky dance floor bomb! 123 bpm. b2 god of the machine. this track has a simple 4x4 kick and handclap pattern pinning down a delicious oscillating bass line, under a classic descending four chord circular chord progression. off kilter ride cymbals give the track its backbone, and fluidity. ricocheting handclap delays add dimension. sly stone would be proud of this groove. now get on the dance floor and strut your stuff! 119 bpm. the cover shows a still image from the music video a brutal truth directed by ricardo jefferson and laura lee.

miss dica is barbara tampiÚr, an austrian producer and dj, now resident in berlin. this is her first ep as miss dica, although she previously released an ep as synth model (with vito caliente). all tracks are co-written and co-produced by the berlin dj/producer, ronald christoph. on her myspace page, miss dica describes her music as electro/techno/thrash , which neatly describes what this ep is. the tracks are well crafted and musically adventurous, and it s these elements that caught the ears of third ear. the tracks have a feel and atmosphere that evokes raving dance floors. these tracks are for people who like to let go and party, and have their neurons sonically tweaked. this record does both.

4th & last release for the masomenos third eye project… 3 tracks, 3 different collabators… curro savoy, who was already introduced on the previous ep, lemos & sis, who dont need anymore to be presented…lets listen..

third release for the third eye project of masomenos, with 3 tracks by themselves, including a great featuring by curro savoy on ningessera, a vocal pumping & deep house track. you ve probably heard curro savoy before, as he is the amous whistler from all ennio morricone soundtracks for sergio leone movies! he brings here an amazing melancholic vibes with his whistle & guitar… percute his a funkier track, but still quite trippy. as for sambatic, we get more into percussive groove with some great vocals too, thats sound like in ningessera to be some unknown universal language

again and again, promo gold strikes a third hit with the unmistakable early hardcore sound. this re issue of beat ya brain and partner in crime beat ya brain again delivers the 90s era tracks with 2009 mastering. kick ass gabberbass drums and catchy synths to rhythmically beat you through any rave. more to follow with bring it raw and ya gangsta music. two highlights from the glory days of the old thunderdome vibe, and still ever present with followers of the style.

10inch !!!! this is something special. 10 years after its very limited release (simply due to a low budget and limited sales expectations, not to try and make the record scarce), norm talleys the journey is picked up by a a few hip berlin djs, and a fire starts with the record being offered on ebay for over €100.00, because nobody can find a copy. even norm had to borrow a copy when he went to dj in berlin and the berlin party crowd had already asked him to confirm if he was bringing the record..no joke. so here is that tune, the journey, now re-mastered by stefan betke and cut by andreas@schnittstelle, and sounding very nice. on the flip is the unreleased in yo soul, chosen by third ear to complement the journey and complete a full on in your face piece of norm talley groove. and to round it off, its on a 10. cool and compact. just like norm, who is known in the dj circles of detroit as a secret weapon.. need your party fixing?... call norm talley. serge at clone kindly added a few words... nice re-issue of an obscure dj favorite produced by norm talley and previously released on the nouveau riche label from detroit. here you have two tracks that turn out to be great dj tracks when played out loud. the journey somehow got lost in obscurity. but luckily someone was clever enough to get it back out again, together with the previously unreleased in yo soul, and here they are... 10 inches of pleasure! pure detroit house music as we like it

the sub labeled hardcore mastery of promotype has reached its 10th release in the form of two 12 releases. the final and definitive chapter of the type series comes with a solid blast. first up is the release of type 010a, the brighter design of the two. featuring 4 brand new tracks from the quality control album, promo delivers a wide range hardcore smash featuring all the necessary elements for a more than loud music experience. bassdrum, uplifting melody and tight cut vocals all sharply mixed, the 2009 standard.

the well respected masomenos team lauchens their next big project ! after closing the masomenos livemix project with funky cochon ep, masomenos comes back with new project : the third eye. on this ifirst release, out of 4, 3 tracks from masomenos, as always quite trippy. no more blabla, lets listen!

banging harder tech tracks!!!

moeller s third, already highly anticipated ep for third ear, following the jazz space ep (3eep-068) and the one man s junk ep (3eep-088).once again we have selected 4 cuts of varying mood and intensity to create an ep offering many possibilities for the dj and a rewarding home listening experience. a1 - traffic (new wipers mix) is a driving wide-screen track which will turn the dancefloor into a heaving mass of frequencies and beats. this is close to a peak-time track. this is a high intensity track that holds the vibe in a state of impending release underpinned with a deep, open groove. 126bpm. a2 - slight transition takes the vibe very deep and keeps it there. a simple (genuinely less is more) drum pattern of a lightly hit snare drum, hi-hat and occasionally shaken guiro over a hypnotic bass pattern, hold the track in place for nearly seven minutes. a masterful control of tension offering the dj a number of options for where to take the dancefloor from this moment s respite. 119bpm.

the wishmaster continues his adventure with the inevitable sequel, >silence surrounds me<. fulvio teamed up with promo to deliver the sound of silence, hardcore style. the title-track comes with its own form of energy, driven straight from the legendary 909. force feedback through stacks of kicks and percussion. the deafening music continues with >gun in the club< and >cant stop me<. two fresh results of insomniac hardware abuse for todays electronic generation. now playing at sound systems worldwide.

db carries his own weight in this third installment of his db edits series, just dont ask him to take the load! wanna be a lawyer or just lay around all day? jealous of the fellas that want to go all the way? mr. cooper takes a stand on the flip as well, showing how much he loves you all
