dojo is about getting back to the roots of american techno and house, and getting away from the computer. we want to help bring back the spontaneity and freedom of live performance and recordings. we want to celebrate the raw physicality of the music, and the dj who still likes to mix. ross since, 1997, ross has been in the background of the westcoast canadian techno scene, particularly the victoria family that included mathew jonson, cobblestone jazz, the mole, and hrdvsion. in 1998, he released the now out-of-print compilation album ôgarden city dubs, that featured first material by mathew jonson, and cobblestone jazz. he left for california in æ98, but kept his finger on the pulse as the art director for itiswhatitis recordings. while in the bay area, he listened mostly to soul,rap and early american techno music. heavily influenced by his time spent in the u.s., he started to develop a musical aesthetic, which he is now ready to express. young florent florent moved to vancouver from switzerland to attend art school. he began to get into making techno. tapping into his french-martinique roots, florent quickly developed a unique sound, which caught rossÆs ear. a few live jams later, it was clear that they worked well together, so they got a studio space and got to work. one month later, dojo had its first release. florent has only been making music for a year, but his swiss work-ethic is dangerous

well 20 catalogue numbers and three ôthe cheapersö releases later, our ruede hagelstein dares to perform a solo dance on upon you. in this case- a chair dance. the name ôreise nach jerusalemö stands for the game moving chairs that ruede still remembers from his east german child hood.the principles of the track will be recognized by those who know the game. to all others the a1 side will appear to be a mean techno pusher. ôaron habritö also surprises the inclined listener with unexpected curves of tension but still remains on the house ground of reality and digs like ôlevithanö towards the thick underbrush of pre-christian mythology that ruede seemed to in any way have heard of in one of those brandenburg kibbuzes. shalom!

lithuanian producer paulius lincius (aka moon disco) presents his first vinyl release on the respected control tower label, run by the dexorcist & radioactive man, and shows a subtlety and deftness of touch that many more experienced producers would envy. treading the path of classic electro can be a dangerous game if the sounds arent just so, but fortunately paulius has been doing his homework and keeps it simple and clean. radioactive man offers up a remix that roughens things up a little bit and throws some datasette-esque sounds into the equation, but still keeps pretty close to the traditional electro blueprint. overall a strong release for those that prefer their beats and bass with a slightly nostalgic edge...

one of the most popular japanese house dj kaoru inoue returned to mule musiq (actually endless flight!) with fantastic balearic tune. his last 12inch on mule musiq was a one of the highlight release of 2007 and todd terje remix still have been played. kaoru s original version is taken from mule musiq s japanese artist compilation va/the definitive japanese scene vol.1 . our favorite new producer john daly (his new 12inch is coming on mule musiq) made a floor killer old school house remix

after 9 successful years and 36 releases on their label >festplatten<, the teichmann brothers are already unleashing their third release, transistor vamp, on their new artist label teichtracks. true to the motto of the tt-series this offspring of analogue machinery is also designated for the dancefloor. the title track is a 12 minute trip, an unstoppable modulating organism from the deepest depths that subtly and powerfully creeps forth. you smell the greasy oil of detroit, you inhale the dusty air of berlin and when you open your eyes, the next day has already begunà here, the past is just as present as the present. deja-vu? or did transistor vamp already infect you during one of the brothers many live sets? those who turn the record over will find, alongside a condensed 7 minute edit of the title track, another independent micro organism. micro is a game of rhythm and bass, reduced to the very essence of groove. a poker face of a track whose accumulative tension spans 6 minutes. like a balloon filled to bursting it knows how to stretch its limits and, without badding an eyelid, it waits for the explosion. minimal? of course! but here you can still hear the groan of the mixer and effects!

san soda only needed one very limited ep and one >full< release to get attention from all over the place. deep house music that is both rooted in the past and firmly aimed towards the future. for this fourth release on we play house recordings san gives us three more killer tracks from his vaults. the a-side brings us >doorsnee<, a track that already had people requesting a release when it was but in its infant days on his myspace. describing it is quite the task, because it kinda leaves the 4/4 path and still stays on it, it kinda floats but it still gets you screaming on the dance floor.

with the bpm dropped and the delivery of such a deep, emotional slice of downtempo with all the right things in all the right places, you have to doff your hat to dannys production skills. still maintaining a deeper edge but given this package its more dance floor mix is the legend that is matrix! taking time apart from his right hand man futurebound, matrix unleashes a straight to the point, no holds barred awesome slice of futuristic dnb for 2009!

after a small break h2oh recordings is back!! omar santana picked up one of his classic tunes and decided to remix it, and the result is outstanding! gutless gets a massive 2009 treatment by omar santana & dre hectik (of course well known for their slammin h2oh releases) and headbanger (megarave rec., rotterdam rec.)... two mindblowing remixes in the typical and highly popular style of these top producers!besides this all also the original mix is offered, which is still in popular demand... so do not miss out on this top notch hardcore 12inch, brutal stuff!!

solid proper banging techno, end your search. this is what you are waiting for all this time. crowdpleasing techno for all who like it rough and slightly dark but still with enough energy to keep you up and dancing all night. no drugs needed, just move on the music and go on and on and on and on...

on side a: markus homm, mihai popoviciu and jay bliss. three sophisticated artists with releases on highgrade, imigrant and foundation records. this magical trio created this funky, deep house track for us, which brims over with groove and energy. on side b we are ver happy to welcome a newcomer, who is going to be listened to a lot soon. felx feygin grew up in brooklyn new york, and still lives there. about himself he says: äone day i fell in love with jazz, then we got married and had little deep house babies.ô when you listen to this track, you will know what he means! and if that was not already enough, there is a fantastic ôdop -remix. they are responsile for the fresh sound made in france, and brought us a lot of joy with there releases on circus company. and because this trio is something special, the boy sang some lines of the text for this remix themselfes. the outcome is genuine and we are very happy

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

one of our best selling labels, who have really carved out a niche for sublime, chilled but chunky grooves a side is dropout –seeing coyote stepping onto the dancefloor whilst still keeping all the elements of their sound. electric guitars, arpeggios, and a catchy little melody. tranced out, chugging and laidback in equal measures. the remix of dropout by deadstock 33s-the balearic godfather himself-justin robertson takes the track into chunky electro dub bounce territory. the flip sides >how you doin< is a laid back slice of dubby balearica with a remix from the international peoples gang who offer up a supreb remake, reminiscent of weatheralls early 90s output coyote and is it balearic doing exactly what it says on the label !is it balearic…?-oh yeah

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!

lim clear sexy red vinyl! after ues three massive bombs played by the likes of richie hawtin, loco dice, luciano and mathias kaden. 24 has the percussion line hooks which wander off in a full melodic bliss of over 10 minutes and a serious dose of forward thinking club music and a must for spring 2009. for his second release on resopal, the busy italian has come up with what we believe is a perfect mix between his dancefloor side and his newer material with a more techno-ish touch. 24 is a hard-hitting piece of percussive techno, while somebody send me love is a deeper, slightly hypnotic minimal affair still with the serious injection of funk that underlines the a-side. the remix is done by cecille recording artist ilario allicante who delivers pure summer joy

much to our advantage, layo & bushwacka! have been seeking solace deep in their west london studio since the closure of the end. this means only one thingàmasses of quality tracks coming your way from the duo and olmeto records over the coming months! the pairs latest twelve takes in two very different sides of their personality. the a side 21, supplies a deep slice of electronic funk complete with mesmerising pads, rising percussion patterns and the most beautifully addictive synth hook put to wax in ages if it doesnt give you goose pimples you need to get to the doctors! heavy weight sub bass kicks demand this be played as loud as you can possibly get it! go on, turn it up, annoy the neighbours on the b side, l&b take it back, waaaaay back, and toy around with some classic house music, creating a patchwork of off kilter, looped up madness to get the party masses hands high up in the air. overflowing with old school flavour, to make you quickly glance over your shoulder back to the 90s, whilst still sounding supremely relevant on todays dance floors.

munich man dario zenker is back again for his second vakant ep following 2008s >sam und er/womde!< (va019). still fresh faced and just as hungry, dario continues to bring the bavarian goods to our freaky masses. a side -would be nice- makes more twists and turns than a sausage factory while consistently pumping out the mystery meat thick and juicy. if you want freak, thump, space, expanse, its all here. b1 -blue champa- is perhaps more on the vegetarian tip: light, nutritious, guilt free and always leaving you a little hungry. fun and bouncy, -blue champa- easily proves that you dont need to eat meat to get phat. at b2 position you will find -while rain gets air-. we have no idea what dario means here but if you were asking yourself >wheres that track on this vakant record that wont let close my eyes at night cause i heard this track at 7am and im still a little freaked out,< this is it. listeners beware

incl district one rmx!! marcus meinhardt is ready to rumble coming up with his new single in the ring a, after buenaz nochez, jerry lee and pacey lynn. the woman who just announced the uy 22 left the stage and with fast, accurate combinations marcus is in the in fight without clutching and persistence. on his conditional high, hes proceeding with his successful series and lands a few, perfectly placed, deep hits in the base area and still stays agile when it comes to headwork. he finally had the crowd on his side after he finished the fight early with the lucky punch. equal scenes on the other side in the ring b, where bart skils and anton pieete step up with a humbler beatfrequency. here, the dutch are able to build up an immense amount of pressure into their hook and into their right and… another lucky punch knocks down the enemy: k.o.

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.

aspekt strikes back with their actually release. the new great 4 track ep by marcio kantana includes the tracks funky sax, rock and sound and fashion touch, contrast itself with a great and special minimal sound. the guys of aspekt makes oneself conspicuous individually and want to go one better with their next record. as one of the most popular live acts in berlin marcio kantana has found his own style for himself that is extravagant and still afloat melodically. no wonder that the new aspekt release is not matchable with one of the previous records once again. moreover its worth it to hear a great remix from microtune & takter.

cosmic groove mix by mastermind prins thomas!!

dj hells international deejay gigolo imprint brings the debut album release from australias kikumoto allstars: house music!!! in the spirit of the original chicago acid house of marshall jefferson, larry heard and adonis, and with the intensity of modern dance, comes kikumoto allstars aka dj/producer cam farrar.

now im on it is classic x-press 2, a strong groove, sirens, and a haunting vocal sample, yet still sounding totally contemporary. already road tested to great response in their recent dj sets this is the first in a series of new singles planned for this year

a new gleaming star in the sky, intending to point the way in the promised land, abates the first misty-eyed, playful publication. nonetheless jackin, house-bounce red threads twist thru all tracks, which could not be more divergent. excellent, then each one is a grandiose dj-tool destined to keep the hearing nerves back in time. diversify guaranteed and impossible to keep still. label owners are the always-on-top swiss dj and producer steve cole and the berlin born robert stolt, charactering a part of the dj- and producing team with the pathbreaking name tagträumer2. it was his original contribution, impudent, vibrating propelling was unmistakable jimi hendrixs muse. like his mentor, he cleverly combined rock n roll with reveries, today an explosive mixture. the remix of tigerskin aka dub taylor is a psychedelic sound, that remind us of the best years of bordercommunity, like a nice lsd-trip known in to those days. the cream on the cakeis steve coles remix, maximal in defiance of minimal. he compiles the language of the woodstock heroes into the >sound of berlin< and wrapped it into a story, which can be patiently eavesdropped.

swedish electro chef john dahlbäck has cooked up another hot ep - winners and fools. dahlback is still in his early twenties, but he s had more releases than girlfriends with a singles discography edging ever closer to the hundred mark by the week.

spectrum continues to move full steam ahead into 2009, and follows with another solid release this time courtesy of marco bailey with his track spektral. this deep and dubby groover is sure to keep the progressive heads happy but still carries enough weight to keep the all techno tots smiling too, a seriously good track from the belgian techno don.

emotional and still deep techhouse !! great !!!

how many of todayÆs producers have been releasing music for 13 years? not many. how many will still be recording 13 years from now? hard to say. what can be said without doubt however is that donnacha costello is in this for the long haul. since 1996 he has released dozens of 12&#8243,,,s and made significant contributions to electronic music from 2001Æs classic ambient album together is the new alone to 2004Æs universally acclaimed colorseries to 2006Æs rigorously conceptual 6x6=36 amongst others. shedding the skin of his ten year old minimise label, costello emerges from its semantic stranglehold to bring us his new label and platform look long. from this first release it is clear that costello aims to produce work of lasting quality and beauty with little regard for what a turbulent marketplace might expect of him. complexity and simplicity are addressed in equal measure here and with some surprise we find traces of eric satie, chet baker, pat metheny and steve reich. perhaps unsurprisingly we also find the unmistakable traces of grace and emotion that have become costelloÆs trademarks

on the a-side , >brunhilde< the old bitch welcomes us, again completely drunken and swinging to rhythm with her frying pan. the second track is >hip hop chopsui< - a meal which can satiate 500 dance hungry hip swinging ravers without a problem. if you still dont have enough you turn around the record. for here >master mason< shows us, that b-sides can also display their cold-blooded lethal potential. should anyone against your expctation still sit at the bar, nip on his drink uninvolvedly and flirt with the barkeeper, >parcel< will finally make this grumbler let his bar stool stand there and mix into the dance willing crowd.

fame and zouk imprint owner mischa daniels has chosen his direction. the only way is up! with the success of his another place still fresh in memory, hes now hitting back hard with all that mattered. the original vocal sample comes from a memorable classics: de nuit- all that mattered, which had its first released in 2001. more than 8 years later, with the steady beat, the shivering vocals and a hypnotizing synth on top, this mischa daniels remake is about to break down the house and tear down the clubs. all that mattered wont easily be forgotten. dj support: steve angello & ingrosso: on it! supporting this new track of mischa! tom novy: looks really good to me! john dahlback: support!

played by villalobos & raresh !! what a way to start off 2009, a very strong ep delivered from catwash aka chris carrier & dj w!ld with remix from lemos & kreon. groovabilisme (original) hits with its’ crafty tech-house stomp, killer kick, and fun tribal groove. a very interesting concept on this production, as the deep grounding rhythm is super floor filling, yet the space between gives it the perfect air for the huge sub that just rolls this cut to the top of the charts. a sure shot for all players. kreon’s mix stylizes with more jack then jack himself. his vox arrangements give his cut a pop, lock, and rock it knack for the true school dancer. this remix takes any spot in a set, it’s got the capability to kick it big or be slow & deep, depending on how a player wishes to pitch it- a brilliant & effective production. lemos rocks the bells a for main lead rhythm, an excellent perspective to make for a clever & diversity ep. his mix creates a driving hypnotic bender with enough thump & smack to keep the bells intact and still lead the floor into a seductive sound scape of a moving utopia.

wdywsw is a slice of high energy powerpop, with affecting agitprop lyrics asking one of the most relevant questions of our troubled times. parisian genius rob totally flips the script by translating the song into the sad, plaintive language of late night soul searching. and thanks to pacifics elegant pop version, the sun is beaming from sweden. poney poneys first album is being recorded right now, with xavier de rosnay (of the justice fame) still rolling for the band. beware.

experimental electrotracks by paul gannaway aka cut out, made in 2002 for brighton based nest label.

mr. douglas greeds debut on lebensfreude. here together with drum n bass icon kemo he shakes with >deadline< a melodic murderers track from the sleeve which will provide a lot of soul and intensity for hopping hearts and dancing legs. less takes care of the subject more diminished, more chilly and still deeper.

after the well received dvk remixes subsitenz thought its only fitting to pair up one of dnbs hardest and bulgarias biggest export cooh with the two south london stow aways dvk. there fruits of their labor as you would expect is fooking insane. off the leash is not for the faint hearted or pregnant a relentless driver of a track with beats that mutate and evolve constantly over subs fatter than dawn frenchs ass. with the signature dvk rolling percs and pumping side chained filth matched with coohs lethal arrangements and movement of beats off the leash is one pissed pit bull in a poodle parlor. once bitten twice shy is a techy affair still relentless to the core with all the twist and turns that are synonymous to the likes of cooh and dvk. filthy stabs and hits are thrown manically around like a poltergeist having an epileptic fit in a china shop adding chaos to the already frantic bass and grooves. the main heart to his puppy is banged home half way through of its unnatural life were it warps from chilled pads to a nodders delight. dvk and cooh have started the fire and will be back to fuel it very soon!

to the line sees peak time breakstep action with a bass line that takes no prisoners on this relentless bad boy roller coaster of filth. late night hype is a very different beast, still plenty of bass for your bins, but this time a headier smokers paradise, complete with ambient pads and lush distortions.

hot with richie hawtin, marco carola & loco dice! sounds like the soundtrack to the hyperactive child that has just been spoon fed tartrazine. you just can t keep still to this. skippin , rollin , poppin , it just picks you up and makes you move!

cosmo anarchy vol.2 goes a little darker. two tracks with strong atmosphere still very funky and 1 sweet old school house track on the a2 make this ep very special. a mood in between daniel bell and christian vogel. for the a1 we have for the first time on the label a strong dubstep track! great dj tool. as for the b side it?s freaky funky techno, a dark and soulful dancefloor track! s-max comes back on telegraph with cosmo anarchy presented in 2 singles released in a row. each single is moody and souful - 3 minimal-funk tracks with killer groove! s-max productions differ between house (moodymann/ jovonn/ nugroove), minimal (dbx/ todd sines), crispy+funky (herbert/ ark/ perlon/ akufen/ morgan geist) and funky techno (christian vogel, tobias schmidt, neil landstrumm, claude young). generally influenced by classic detroit/ chicago/ early warp and the whole brighton- stuff.

what you re about to experience, is a brand new vibe! that vocal is still as true as it was in 2002, when this record was made! contains several locked grooves.

welcome to the world &welcome sophisiticated - a new shining label-star on electronic music labels sky. influenced by not less than 15 years of screening the finest electronic dance and techno sounds and deejaying, inspired by good old 80ies synthie tunes, to detroit techno, over omen sounds to current sophisticated electrotechno, bait and switch aka tom elektro provides the clubbing scene with his fabulous debut ep the world - your feet won t stand still

the bussy scandenavian duo are currently on a world tour, but still had time to make this deep techy builder, >bipolar< is dark but uplifting, underground but melodic, technological but organic! it was made mainly using a huge arp 2600 from 72, a quirky old synth that dominates the track with its distinct warm and fuzzy sounds
