strut records, in association with fania, are proud to announce the 40th anniversary edition of the landmark feature film that captured new yorks legendary early 70s latin music scene at its zenith,our latin thing (nuestra cosa).filmed around a live all-star concert by the fania all-stars at one of promoter ralph mercados fantastically popular thursday night jams at the cheetah, the film transports the viewer right back to a heady night on august 26, 1971. at the time, there had been little documentation of the burgeoning salsa scene in new york, despite its massive popularity. video was still crude and film was expensive to shoot. however, fania founder jerry masucci had a vision of taking new york latin music from the barrio to the world, and put the money up to make the movie.

long time no see but the waiting time is over.yo! announced details about their secondrecord. after the first incredible release by live thugs (from space) with their slomonster exploration ep the new one will be by montana falcons. a newcomer-gang straight from the hoodof nowhere. we met them in our holidays where they guided our pony trekking tour in the mountainsof madison county. a great inspiring day cruising around and seeing nice birds and pretty clouds.at night we sat around the campfire, drank hard alcohol, smoked original montana tobakko, cleanedour weapons and heard these tracks for the first time on their pony-soundsystem. make your own opinion, but they hit us like a bullet. yo!

repress of ultra rare detroit electro record, including remixes by peanut butter wolf, maxmillion dunbar, steve summers and legowelt. heavy!
originally recorded in detroit, 1982 by the late danan potts a.k.a. superlife. at that time danan was hanging around the recording institute of detroit where juan atkins was training in production. danan was interested in atkins style of dance music and quickly recorded >go bananas<. bananas was released locally on southern sun records in hyper limited quantity, it is today one of the most sought after underground detroit techno recordings of all time.

excellent 4 track vinyl with fantastic deep house. it gets started with >spring loop<, a track that looks to its name both for feeling and production sense. of course that sensuous vocal sample that gets drawn through it wouldnt do the job on its own, but rau knows that too and surrounds it with a warm, humid bassline and his always changing and snapping drums to keep it in the pocket for the whole 5 minutes. even though the groove on the a1 is already heavy for him, he goes deeper yet with >swearing (vinyl version)< that jamaican vocal is something so classic that we wont spoil it here, but the pumping house beat and piano stabs he winds around it give even more poignancy to the lyrical substance… we are pretty sure that by the time he finally echoes the vocal out late in the track there will be some hands in the air for this one

from the unlikely bass music hotspot of austin, texas, the mighty vvv returns to fortified audio with his strongest material yet in the form of his – and the labels – debut album. if you slept on the projects ep we released in 2010, nows the time to get acquainted with the dynamic progressive garage thats garnered praise from the likes of martyn and oneman. while still giving nods to the classic sounds of ghost, early tempa and vintage dem-2 productions, across the sea updates these formats with deep and futuristic synth work, subtle but weighty basslines and precision rhythms that mark vvv out as one of the most formidable producers working in the crowded field of bass music. this time around its not only the future sounds of london that are present, but also the ghosts of classic chicago house, richard d james-esque electronica and an ethereal contemporary soul sound. across the sea showcases the strongest work to date from a guy we consider to be one of the best in the game

one of the first ever female dubstep producers dot is back with a new record label read write music. >get up ep< has been spreading with support from dubstep dj around the world-ranging from germany to florida, from uk to russia and has been played on radios such as redbull music academy radio. this ep certainly aims to fill the gap of music with a strong socially responsible message and is aiming to encourage debate on the current state of the world we live in.

tiefschwarz beckon you to dominate my sensation with their latest single on the boys own souvenir. and with its booty-shaking, bass-bumpin funky house vibe, its ripe for the plucking on dancefloors across the world. the title track kicks things off with a dual attack of bass and hi-hat, urging us into its insistent groove. then it takes a firmer hold with its sultry vocals, shaking us around a bit in the process. with the carnivalesque atmosphere of seamy summers in rio, we welcome a funky percussive workout into the mix while a synthline squiggles around us. the breaks saucy vocal instructs us to allow entry into our very own adventure, percussion building to peak levels. lost in the moment, none can resist this kick, and bodies are lost in a dizzying swirl. b-sides include an energetic reimagining from the labels very own frankfurters, chris wood and meat, fresh from their recent smash triple s ep on souvenir and pascal feos & frank leicher manage to dial up the sleaze quotient, murking out the bassline and distorting the vocal.

2011 repress! support from mathias schaffhäuser , daso, the glitz, hernan cattaneo, martin eyerer, laurent garnier, franklin de costa, subsky, maik loewen, estroe, dubnitzky, marc ashken, matt tolfrey and many many more... after releases on labels such as spectral sound, flash, squonk, fear of flying, brut or connaisseur plus smash hits such as >bummelzug<, >det< and >crawl around<, a legion of the worlds top djs producers have all joined the pawas fan club. this 4-tracker on night drive music will explain, why he is one of the upcoming producers.

kowton and tom dicicco, residing in bristol and manchester respectively, make very different music from one another. kowtons seems to come from house, perhaps also electro and garage, often quite slow in tempo and hard to pin down to a specific genre. toms music is techno, bass heavy, melodic, textured and rooted around 125 bpm. with these distinctive styles the idea of a split ep might seem ambitious, but the result is four cohesive but different tracks that show the talents of both artists perfectly in the format of two originals on one side and two remixes of each others originals on the other. tom diciccos original is driven by a low-mid range thick stab and pounding kick drum, littered with intricate but not overbearing hi hat and snare work and some very atmospheric mid range. kowtons is subtle and sparse, low fidelity and plodding, with rattling percusion carrying the tune along. on the other side of the record, kowtons remix of toms original is driven by an enormous bassline, with an off kilter dubby feel to the slow tempo and genre defying tune. toms remix of kowton rounds off the ep with a return to stab driven techno, pulsating, dynamic and trance inducing.

in the psychedelic late sixties there was a lively music scene in the canterbury area that revolved around the band the wilde flowers. they never recorded much themselves, however, but after they disbanded other influential bands were formed from their ashes: gong, soft machine, and, most importantly, caravan.
caravans eponymous debut was released in 1968. it was considered a groundbreaking album capturing the freakish and exploratory moods of the times. their sound went much further than the changing styles of the contemporary underground and that is what distinguished caravan from other bands in their genre.

duets ii is another collection of american songbook standards performed in the best of ways. it includes collaborations with the best voices of music: aretha franklin, natalie cole, norah jones and k.d. lang grace the recording booth with this legendary singer.
but it is the tragic and premature passing of amy winehouse that makes this album truly special, her appearance on the duet >body and soul< is the last known recording of the british songbird, and it is a truly heartrending version of the 1930 jazz classic. if this isnt grammy material, we dont know what is!

*** limited vinyl copies*** comprised of former members of hercules and love affair, new york citys jessica 6 has been commanding dance floors for years, globetrotting from london to miami, san francisco to santiago, bergen to belgrade, seducing the dancing, sweaty masses with an electrifying blend of disco, soul and r&b.
see the light opens with a classic-in-waiting, the behemoth of a single, >white horse<, that forces you to move like a witch doctor would. >champagne bubbles< is the kind of gritty r&b that isnt afraid to be as angry as it is melancholic, its piano flourishes punctuated with a heavy kick and snare. >prisoner of love<, which bridges electro and freestyle, featuring a soaring vocal melody that finds nomi and guest vocalist antony weaving their voices around each other to a stunning effect.

ramona is pretty nervous to welcome a new name to her ever-growing happy family. in fact, its actually an old band member. christian beisswenger alias cb funk alias one half of arto mwambe is not exactly one you would call a stranger. for >77 reasons< he debuts as the citizens band with some novel sounds on risky grounds. in love with details, fragile sounds, little tricks and with a fine ear for the action, the band leader tiptoes into deep bleepy house just enough to call >west 42nd< exactly that. >77 reasons< however plays around with a memorable little melody, a skanking lead and some boom sonics. whatever you want to call it, ramona is fine with it. orson and kane would be proud.

spezial price!!! the creative hub of taron-trekka, as well as dj team and beat crafter furnishes an individual experience of togetherness, a complete understanding on a deeper level. they have this primal groove, around which everything rotates, internalized. they carry this groove with their own signature out into the world. this raw groove diamond is constantly sharpened without being completely polished on all facets. on the new fat release they stand for an electric-infected development, that allows only the solution to seep in: deep-in-the-peak! thereby the kraken clutches fiercely to the coral reefs of the soul. their vision of a living sound can thereby sometimes morph precipitously into a technoid, housy, fine-spirited sort and then at once jazzy. the required resolve as it pertains to the dance floor is hardly missed from taron-trekka. the desire-principle and body language mimic are most definitely functional. the big bang doesnt explode in the space, but rather in the heart. as a special treat, the fellas adorn the cover of their 12-inch from the illustrator, designer and photographer tine drefahl (http://www. tinedrefahl.com). thus is presented from freude am tanzen a worthy conclusion to a sometimes turbulent jubilee year, a complete package of artistic expression in tone and picture that is at home both on the mantel as well as the turntables.

approaching the end of the year, pole presents another spacey and heavy bass 12 inch. two melancholic, quiet tracks full of crackles and endless space, made for this winter. it seems that the warmth of these two tracks is glancing around a corner of a cold urban wall, just to say:s-o-o-n, and it will be summer again.in contrast to the first 12 inch waldgeschichten, with its use of full chords, this new production is marked by its use of spaces, which seems to expand until they collapse and enfold the listener. this is the second 12 inch by pole, one of a new series of releases which will end in a cd release in 2012.

the second part of the >diorama< remixes offers again some of the finest producers around.
starting with kollektiv turmstrasse! what kicks off as a chez damier groove makes the transition into a loose dub monster. collecting traces of the original sound and dispersing them with magic movements we see why kollektiv turmstrasse are a top act. shifting the attention from the front to the far back from the obvious to the abstract... turmstrasse create that parallel groove on top of the groove which seems to tighten up with every minute. fine particles of sounds are sprayed onto the relentless groove and make it a real crowd pleaser.

>call me< is a welcome dose of precisely what we all need right now: a brilliant ray of sunny electro disco to warm up our winter dancefloors. dj nibc, the berlin-based, gothenburg-born dj, producer and trunkfunk records label owner has joined forces with fellow swedish house cat patrick l for a collaborative effort that offers a fresh, playful and breezy take on deep disco grooves. the dj nibc mix rides a languid summer afternoon tempo, accompanied by shimmering light beams and sweet synth chords, rising to a peak of uplifting strings and soulful vocals that weave around the tracks core retro melody. the patrick l mix gives the full polyphonic treatment, shifting the filtered strings to the intro, intensifying the bass, and using subtle punchy cut-ups in contrast with patricks crystal-clear vocal treatment. fellow swede tiger stripes completes the trio of countrymen, with a tiger stripes remix that moulds the track into an urgent dancefloor cut, emphasising an irresistible bass melody, a thudding kick drum, and classic house stabs of synths and voice. londons newest simmering hot creations signee funnels even more sunshine into his rework, as the crea albas lost soul remix splays out the the tracks high hats and fills all available spaces with arcs of retro synths and cosmic reverb.

abstract division returns with the second addition to their form and function series on dynamic reflection. similar to the first release, part ii also features two original tracks and two remixes, this time around by none other than delta funktionen and ben sims.

with marc poppcke s >mind revolution ep< we are proud to present crossfrontier audio s first artist ep, the second vinyl release, and the last release in 2011. after releases and remixes on labels like freerage, defected, soma and darkroom dubs and finishing his masters at the berlin university of arts, crossfrontier audio labelhead marc poppcke delivers his frist full artist ep in 2011. with a touch of house, a hint of progressive, some techno on top and everything garnished with a whiff of melancholy, marc brings us four tracks displaying his taste in music and his love for four-to-the-floor electronic club music. the tracks on this ep send you on a journey, perfect for the late hours of the night. he takes you up to space, spins you around, and brings you back down to earth with the drop, leaving you tumbling and now knowing where you are. just like it should be.

after the huge succes of its tenth release (davide squillace & guti), hideout is back with with the third slice of the deconstruction revisited series. this time, crocodile tears, which appeared on davide squillaces tutti frutti ep (ho003) got offered three amazing relectures. it all starts with mr robert dietz (cadenza, cecille ...), who delivers a super modern and energetic relecture, where intelligent synthetic percussions mess around with weird noises and processed effects. after two minutes a monophonic synths starts its battle with vocals from squillaces original to end up on a more minimal groove. gflame aka portugese techno start cisco ferreiras (the advent) relecture directly sets the tone: a nasty bassline with a crazy synth stab flies over a soft but very heavy techno beat, to evolve to an elegant tech house track (no bongos involved). finally sis, the man behind cocolino imprint, reinterpretation starts with a long intro with the kick dropping after more than 3 minutes. the melancholic feeling of the track builds into a very subtile beat with reverbered elements all over. the percussion layers and delicate melodic synths add some organic flavour to the music so the 14 minutes remix is never boring and takes you to a nice journey thru sounds. you can tell somebody was in love when making such a beautiful song. another must have from hideout!

william anthony bois was born in stockholm, sweden, in 1991. he expressed an early interest in music, especially electronic music. whilst william demonstrated a natural tallent for piano composition from an early age, in 2003 he began channeling his creativity into house music after a friend introduced him to fruity loops. early street dancing lessons introduced him to funk which has been a source of inspiration ever since the age of nine. he continued the dancing with the dance group funky 4 brothers and has performed around europe and sweden. william also studied music production and sound engineering at sixth form college. this background has given him a firm foundation from which to express his music through a variety of rhythms and tone that give his music an individual flavour.

the new record is a huge step forward for dynooo, turning the strewn about 25-to-75-second bits and pieces of grooved out electronics on sim city into full-fledged jams. tip! the new record is way more dance-oriented, showing off his affinity for bangers on pounding opener tropical thighs. dude gets a bit darker on northwest noir before diving into raver territory with huge apple. fellow belgian cupp cave makes an appearance this time around, jacking up the perspiration with his remix of espirit sweat. 250 copies limited

rhein-main based tag team diggler & franksen go back some way in the history of frankfurts electronic scene. around 2000 diggler honed his reputation as a master of dubby techno for a whole decade. his early tracks like >boogiemonster< are blueprints of cool. period. today he is still rollin out crisp and deep techhouse beats that combine musical finesse, compositional tension and club appeal. having released about six albums and countless tracks and remixes for labels from raum…musik to cocoon and from resopal to level non zero, diggler is still on the hunt for the proper dose of beat hypnosis.
for their >morning blue ep< diggler teams up with frankfurts radio legend franksen who hosts germanys eldest dj show, todays you fm clubnight. franksen saw a string of releases over the last two years, collaborating for labels such as suara, dieb.audio, kommmitmusik, plastic city and more.

4 tracks of deep soulful house/techno.. more excellence, slightly harder/more jacking than previous outings but still covers a broad remit of house/techno over 4 tracks. darling farah returns with his second ep of 2011. entitled >division<, the detroit-born producer offers four tracks that journey further into deep house, techno and machine-soul. the ep grabs you from the offset, while dream-like qualities wash over the listener they contrast perfectly with an offbeat, energetic 4/4 backbone. division will undoubtedly solidify the hype around its precociously talented 19 year old producer and add more critical acclaim to that already received from his previous releases, >berline< and >exxy<.

follow-up 4 track 12 inch to the first volume that was released earlier this year. in line with the concept of these two eps, the tracks were again taken from juergen junker live-set, recorded straight out of the machines. friend of the house is a collaboration with pavan mann, whose vocal parts are chopped to bits and more than just add to the live-live feel of the track. therell be more of him in the near future…watch out! its a jungle has a more hypnotic vibe and lures you deeper into the house jungle. dammit is the straight-up jackin track on this ep. no messing around, just rough sounding head-nodding material . feel what i feel starts of as a deep chordy affair. hard to let go off, once the little acid-lines start dropping in. all in all, its house! its that simple… as the neurhythmics also has its 10 year anniversary this month, there will be a special limited edition of this record. 54 records will come with a miniature 3-colour stencil canvas by juergen junker, hand-made and numbered, complete with a mini-easel.

off we go and leave the cannibals all empty. the skies are lowering into the sea. gently pushed by stones we wonder/wander on. somewhere behind a rainbow, apartment houses quietly suspire their berlin. the cheeky spirit is pinching the nose with zest. watch them trip and do the mashed morale. we dance with them, but not for long. spirits are holding the upper hand again. still we miss a beat with a heart still strong. noisy colors all blending in one blue. i sit with you where the citys down low. we know no wrong in the sound of a song. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the pointy poets heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whos mad with magics saving factor. we wander on, stroll to and fro things weigh us out, no con, no pro, unlike the jesters saving factor we stick around too long a-go. down tumble waters rise behind our backs. the meek musicians heads hat breaks in two unlike the jesters scepter whose magics not an urban factor. strike up the band, play on and on for sweet sage music always wins just like the jesters magic scepter beats up and down, forgives all sins. this is when you come stepping in. a row of tender houses smash your knees. the skies are lowering some more. existences twitching here and there. rain reflects berlins icy glow: a frisking spirit on the tip of your nose. we dance with him for quite some time. no stopping a hand that holds up in a work. no missing a beat for a heart goes on. flamboyant whispers strike a chord back home. you come to me, im not alone, in the sound of a song we know no wrong

exactly two years after his first sirion release we proudly present mastras second 12 inch titled >out of nowhere<. this time around in collaboration with his buddy jon donson, who also released his first ep on sirion in spring 2010. the mood and structure of this latest coup entirely reflects the familiar yet different of the bernese natives mastra & jon donson. for the first time in form of an exciting fusion of individuals signed by both distinct handwritings. >out of nowhere< is a deep and, owing to a impulsive bass drum, repetitive deep house track. this impression is given through a state of mind clearly offside of a classic course. nevertheless its bits and pieces remain stuck and arent easily banished. pablo bolivar is known for his large spectrum of high quality compositions. upholding that standard he delights with yet another impressive interpretation. the subtly chosen synth revive the base of the original track - an impulsive remix of vast variety.
