its been an interesting few years for the one called jakes. from being one of the highest-regarded mcs in the drum and bass world, he took his hand to producing. after creating some of bristols earliest and most seminal dubstep tracks, such as >modem< and >3kout<, his studio skills and style became further embossed. in early 2010 his tracks, >rhythm< and >skanners< spearheaded the productive assault that was the hench mixtape vol. 1. for the next installment of the hench mixture, jakes steps up with a double dose of his signature production style. fasten all loose furniture to the floor and turn up the sub…

after his 12 inch debut on tjumy last year we welcome roman on philpot with this remix package including erdbeerschnitzel and soulphiction remixes. both do a brilliant job twisting the originals with their trademark mixes and roman also contributed a new track in the same vein as his predecessors … deep shits!

we are happy to welcome a new artist into our family. young jose pouj is one of the new emerging talents from the spanish techno scene. his speciality is hard edged techno, but with a touch of class. a sound carefully crafted and skilfully developed. his blood poisoning ep starts with waken, a scientific techno number with a solid rhythm arrangement, fat basses and sharp synth workout, a funky electronic steamroller designed for body and mind. the b side opens with sepsis, a harder approach to modern techno with a strong drum programming, sweeping drones, an arpeggiated bassline and a bunch of bleeps that appear and disappear throughout the arrangement. an anabolic track that slowly goes to a mental break and turns once more to madness. the release closes with organic return, where the main course is made up of carefully programmed synthetic drums, till an emb-flavoured bassline comes into the track, reminding us of the good old pulsinger style. summing up, this is the work of a great young producer that injects new blood into our label. watch out for forthcoming adventures of this new talent.

remixes / edits delivered by iron curtis and edit piafra. limited edition with hand-stamped label and cover.

the lipservice bandwagon rolls into town with yet another musical extravaganza. we have put together a rather tasty single package of one of the standout tracks from chicken lips amazingly nostalgic >experience of malfunction< lp, including remixes by the main stem, zeefungk and the rhythm odyssey.

tony ollivierra begins 2011 by getting down with the machine sound. bordering on acid-funk, this ep really gets it shakin. the title track jericho, reeks of the latter days of disco with a deep bass line that fades in and takes control of the party. a warm synth chord then kicks in along with some strings which build up to a peak time climax. nag champa captures a deep and surreal groove with a sweet aromatic feel that definitely is burning. the dark bass line entangles the listener in a sensual moment while a resonant synth riff tops it off. on the flip, midi aura begins with an uncompromising synth bass line that does not quit. the sequence bubbles onward and a thick chord sweeps through the arrangement opening up into a placid apex of harmony. the aura of this midi is feel good all the way. lastly jack box, another acid track that works the cutoff and resonance into a climax of delightful poly rhythm and melody. jericho will be a very limited vinyl press and will be the final project on the ibex music label. keep your ears open for his next label venture which will be introduced this summer.

toyfriend music brings you the real gem! bac 1-11 from j-t kyrke (naked lunch, impact mechanics) is an epic dancefloor bomb as you can expect from toyfriend. the remixes are strong as much as the original mix is. while bas mooy (audio assault, planet rhythm) leads the tune in more purist techno direction, mattias fridell (tonal path) rebuilds the track into dirty underground dub stuff. support comes from tom hades, eric sneo, d.a.v.e. the drummer, audio injection, hertz, gayle san, john karagiannis, dj hi-shock, lars klein.

part 4 of the essential sneak series on robsoul - this man knows the rhythm, thats for sure!

electronic duo blondes follow up their 2010 touched ep with lover / hater, a two track 12 inch inaugurating a three part series on rvng exploring duality concepts. recorded live to 2 track tape at atlantic sound in brooklyn, these set staples capture blondes at their headiest and deadliest. >lover< places a shamanistic meredith monk vocal sample atop a ritualistic rhythm, transporting the track to a trancefloor spirit worlds away. >hater< builds on cascading keyboard cycles before breakiing into an e2-e4 on the floor bounce.

still above the clouds, team skylevel picks up a fellow pilot and drops a package that is all about the raw essence. a1 is a thrilling jazz funk onslaught that hits you hard right from the beginning. an energetic uptempo groove meets the most wicked guitar patterns, teasing with beautiful melody fragments while clearly focusing on its irresistable rhythm section. no jazz on b1, but an uncompromising barebone funk stomper of the highest order that locks you in a cell made of drums and bass holding the promise that you wont find >disco< within a five mile radius. b2 obviously has to reduce the heat and takes you on a ride through the swampy mississippi delta of the early seventies, telling you a truly mystic sunflower county story you might not have heard by now

diynamic and mobilee have always been close, and last year celebrated together in style on the rooftop of the hotel diagonal in barcelona during sonar 2010 with all the leading artists on board, including diynamics h.o.s.h whos next up on the ever diversifying leena music catalogue! starting to release back in 2006, holger behn - the man behind the four well renowned letters - already has an impressive catalogue with eps on labels including get physical, kindisch, supernature, freerange, strictly rhythm, dessous, tsuba and of course his home label, as well as his debut lp >connecting the dots< on diynamic which came out last year. his new ep, >tour de fonque<, fits perfectly in a peak time dance floor set, with strong basslines and in the case of the a-side track >dead and alive< a twisted and eery vocal thats demanding >to know what it is<. meanwhile b-side >tour de fonque< is built on a deep and driving groove thats impossible to ignore or stay still too. keep it spinning and enjoy!

two adventurous artists in their own right, platter001 sees the first meeting of minds for appleblim and october, with two wildly different results. >ny fizzzzz< is a peak-time belter in the truest sense of the word, launching to life with a rigid 4/4 drum machine stomp. appleblims dub tendencies pepper octobers knack for the jack with spacious delays and reverbs before a muted piano hook gets filtered into the mix. melting away to let the chords shine through, the drop encapsulates the pinnacle of any late night jam, bright, bold and brassy, and irresistibly catchy. >fountains of paradise< trickles in on a bed of rippling fx, guided by haunting, melodic synth flourishes that only vintage gear can conjure up. the rhythm section ticks away faithfully as the distinctly psychedelic tones and drones shape the definitive 21st century dub track. blissful in its execution, >fountains…< will stand the test of time as a magically unique slice of delectable ambience.

off spin 007 includes a track by timo garcia, wellknown from legendary labels nervous and yoshitoshi. >inches< starts with a techy rhythm strengthened by an euphoric pad and a sleaaaazy vocal. nils weimann & clay porter let the summer start a bit earlier. >la guitarra< has a summery vibe but is driven by a techy-percussion-ish beat. this track will definitely make hips swing on the dancefloor. >this is my home< gives you a warm deephouse-feeling with an organic groove. a lovely track which brings a smile on your face and makes you feel home immediately. mario aureo & daniel solar know what they are doing. >what you do< has a lingering deephouse vocal with a steady groove. a perfect record to mix.

nice price deal !!! chicagos brian gardner & todd mariana assemble this single with original keyboard work, minimal rhythm patterns, and a dj-friendly arrangement with brenda ds vocals that weave through this tech influenced dance track. she has also appeared on kate simkos recent smash mind on you.

joe claussell did it again… deep quality work

limited edition orange vinyl promos. the first solo 12 inch for samurai music by rising kiwi star dose. co-writer of one of the labels biggest ever selling releases (the other part of me with trei), the recent uk migrant comes with what we feel is his best work to date. >reason being< defines the term roller, and with its euphoric middle section mixes the ruffness of its driving rhythm with the silky smoothness of its melodic overcoat. >helpless< is another tech funk masterpiece from dose which has been competing strongly for a side status since we signed this 12 inch. dj support from klute, teebee, spectrasoul, marky, break, logistics, phace, state of mind and many more. watch for the forthcoming dose full length album in late 2011 on samurai music.

heavy duty remix ep (accompanying the first sic! release on meakusma) features reworks by errorsmith, lowlow and quarion. errorsmith remodels orange sky, in his inimitable style, into a bouncing bomb, solely focused on making the dancefloor explode in delirious delight. lowlows version explores the darker side of the track, conjuring up a syncopated nu disco rhythm that sounds claustrophobic and ecstatic at the same time. quarion takes orange sky to the beach and gives it a balearic house feel.

over the last couple of years, christopher rau has built a reputation as the finest ear canal masseuse in the contemporary house music scene, catching the attention of fellow hamburger dj koze who has recruited him for this new three-track ep. raus debut full-length asper clouds, released in the fall, was noted for straddling the line between >club< and >headphone< music, earning 4 out of 5 stars from resident advisor along the way, and now, with the how are you ep, he follows up to further explore his sonic approach: an assault of subtlety. >pervading animal< is built upon a solid foundation of familiar rhythm box elements, but like vines and moss, the sedating sounds of strings and keys envelop the empty spaces, showing christopher raus ability to combine the artificial and the organic into something transcendent. then, on the flip side, he lets his weirdness factor shine. at first, >c f r< sounds like by-the-numbers muppet new age, but graduates with distinction as the meowing synth squiggles saunter over the basketball beat. the ep denouements with >how are you today<, marked by a toasty chord progression thats playfully trying to compose itself as the track moves forward, turning science fiction into science fact. you want to believe

paul hughes and aruba teaming up for this latest offering from siesta music. >these days< is a lush late night groover, combining a rich bassline with a drifting vocal stab, tight beats, and dubby chords for some quality deep house. aruba adds a little old skool flavor to his >those drumz mix< via new analog synth lines and a new bassline, while the beats, now more of a tribal rhythm, still keep the floor crowds moving. the >those nights mix< will throw you all off, with the track slowed to a crawling skank with a deep bassline and recliner beats pitting wits with a slowed down take of the vocal.

hot off the heals of the core series reissue of >i feel the rhythm<, slow to speak offers its latest edition of prescription family represses: glenn undergrounds >mighty real groove<. released under his early moniker, c.v.o, >mighty real groove< beats into even the most stubborn ears the truth of trent & co.s collective of hand-picked mid-west talent. the 1995 masterpiece is a devastating, pulverizing party-rocker that utilizes the used and abused sylvester sample so typical of the disco era and re-cultivates its simple universality in a way that avoids the cliches of discos expired optimism. add the smart chord progression and one of the most un-subtle, chest-reverberating, entrails-twisting, thor-hammering bass lines ever to grace a deep house record and you have >mighty real groove<: a party jam that still wields the musical elegance and warmth of the prescription catalog. hammered to death by theo parrish & so many more, this time-tested c.v.o classic has signed up for a second tour of duty, spreading the true underground gospel to those unbelievers who still dwell in the mansion of shadow and despair

coma - the cologne based duo marius bubat and georg conrad have grown in leaps and bounds since their 2008 debut for firm recordings. since then, they have followed with highlight contributions to the last two total series and of course their acclaimed single crystal (kompakt 199) - both of which were released on kompakt. their live shows have established the act as a leading duo locally not to mention earning them fans across europe and asia. on famous , their new 12 for kompakt, we see coma embrace the art of melody and warmth more so than in past releases - an endearing maturity that you hear thoughout this gorgeously produced ep . starting off with playground altona - coma bring their techno/house euphoria to new levels in shimmering bath of disco glow. the ambient warmth of fameless succumbs to a floating bass kick as the sound of children play in the background. as raindrops fell outside of the studio - the boys used it as inspiration for raindrops - a sure winning track on this single as a familiar voice carries you amongst a severely catchy rhythm. a set ender of all set finales

rome, italy native fabio bacchini has been holding it down for underground house music with his label mind travel, but takes a step to the left to give us a hot little ep on transport. the roman disco ep is exactly what it says on the box: no fancy gimmicks here, this release is comprised of four solid disco house jams. the first tune >weekender< is a nice phase guitar loop jam with signature disco pulsating strings amidst the happy snapping snare beats and soul train vocal snips. next is my favorite cut, >money talks<, a straight up disco rhodes organ jam a la the crusaders. add some saxophone in there for points with ladies, and you have yourself a jam. on the flip we have >in the mood< is takes the mood a bit deeper with a nice n spacey groove amidst a rhythm heavy beat. throw some synth strings and keys riffs in there for good measure and there you have it... disco house. sometimes stays within the same formula but brings a more pulsating sound that pushes the music. the tune is still deep and groovy as the ep winds down...

one of the highlights from the recent nightstarter 8 compilation – on my mind gets a remix treatment from the hottest trio of club cowboys right now. roberto rodriguez digs out his 909 out of the closet and works out a mid 90s inspired slammer, not far away from the golden times of strictly rhythm. added sample vox and the shuffled drums drives this up to the max before dropping some serious organ madness into the game. sure fire floor burner. for the vocal shy, we have included the dub as well. mano le tough brings us some of his trademark balearic deep techno which we just love to play! damn fine arrangement coupled with soothing melodies and a churner of a bassline makes this one of his finest remixes – we are happy to welcome mano on moodmusic for his first, but definitely not last guest appearance.

olm029 - layo & bushwacka! - double a side summer gone/what do you say now layo and bushwacka! spent most of last year recording, the first offering from this period came at the end of last year with their endangered ep on plus 8. we now present their first release on their own label in eleven months. summer gone is a groove that starts on an up that slowly breaks down and brings in sounds, voices, rhythm and then kicks back with a really strong vocal and groove. what do you say now hits from the moment it begins with a stripped down sound and dub vocal and then slams with strong percussion and then back to the groove. totally tested out by layo & bushwacka! but supported big by the only two other djs with copies, richie hawtin and laurent garnier.

the third edition bunch of limited edition afro disco boogie edits on the guynamukat afro disco boogie edits label with a value for money 4 tracker. a side kicks off with an absolute stonker of with >ghana boogie baby<. trumpet, slap bass boogie african stylee with punchy brass and smatterings of catchy chorus. >butterfly funk< is straight out of the 1982 disco boogie period with the chunky bassline at the fore. sounding a little bit like chic with gorgeous chords, rhythm guitar and organ stabs. on the flip we travel back to africa for nigeria disco calling for lashings afro boogie with an irresistible shuffling african guitar and keys work out. b2. we ease into more afro boogie with >afro heat< for an infectious afro boogie workout with a pulsating disco bassline. essential music for your dancefloor!

just a few minutes till impact. final approach, three, two, one… stephan bodzin and marc romboy aint no astronauts. they are first and foremost musicians, producers and long time friends. both would admit that arguing and talking music is as important as making it. together with their own long running imprints, systematic recordings and herzblut recordings, they have proven how to build up a distinct label sound. however, similar to some well-known astronauts, the word >luna< has a very special meaning to the musicians because its the name of marcs daughter and coincedently that of stephans wife as well. therefore it had been the obvious choice when they were looking for a fitting title name back in 2005. six years on, and the project nears its final touchdown and is honored with a an outstanding vinyl-set of six records!!! 16 different producers from all over the world take you to a musical orbit, starting in germany with moritz von oswald (basic channel, rhythm & sound), dominik eulberg, chris liebing, oliver huntemann, martin buttrich (desolat), roman flügel (dial) und robag wruhme (pampa records), continuing with speedy j (plus 8) from the netherlands, minilogue from sweden and even abe duque and brendon moeller from new york from the u.s.a.. an electronic transmission from the moon to the earth takes a little more than one second to cover the distance. but when listening to >luna<, you wont dare to think in minutes or seconds ignition sequence start, trois, deux, unité!

limited to 200 copies! in the past, new york city hasnt been considered much of a haven for forward-thinking techno and tech-house — but it is now, thanks in no small part to the resolute crew. queen of mars is a gleaming slice of timeless techno soul, its tough, throbbing rhythm overlaid with shimmering, detroit-tinged chords!

following the success of his debut ep, komisch is delighted to put out the next instalment from sp-x. like his first release, the three tracks on field lines never end capture the essence of contemporary techno - austere and functional, yet deeply resonating. field construction starts with crackle of a broken power cable accompanying brittle percussion and a juggernaut rhythm, before dank filters, distorted riffs and a combination of doubled up claps and hissing hats bring the track to an irresistibly dark climax. internalize follows a similar path, but straight away sp-x plots a more ominous course, with a muffled filter making way for jarring riffs, a grubby acid line and killer claps. last but certainly not least, flux is constructed using dense rhythms, deadweight, iron bar beats and a howling siren riff that sounds like it came from beyond. all the while, sp-xs rasping, firing percussion weaves in and out. these are deadly effective techno tracks, streamlined for use on big speakers - but dont take our word for it, try them out yourselves!

aldo cadiz is one of the most well known djs and producers from chile and head of the label disco royal music. in the year 2000 he opened his own club in chile called casa club which was his homebase for him and many many djs from all over the world. his 1st release on lust und freu.de musik called >spanked ep< contains two very energetic and groovy tracks called >fuego< and >spanked<. the track >fuego<, which he produced together with his friend flavio lodetti from italy has a very deep basic structure which is decorated with spacey click drums, toms and snares rounded off by an amazing vocal that gives this track a deep soul. the track >spanked< is a classic cadiz style house track and pure rhythm. a very dry piece straight for the dancefloor.

wildpitch vocal house classic originally released on the us strictly rhythm in 1991, produced by dj pierre !! special restock!!

upfront final copies only at decks.de !!! friendship and the love of good music is what brought mike machine and sirion records together for this special ep. mike machine has quite a wide-ranging horizon of musical experience - from member of a band, student of music & media, video & audio artist, label member, promoter/organizer to dj in clubs. mike has the curiosity and the urge to create in any area of musical creativity and transfers this in exciting and thrilling ways each time anew in his productions. designed multi-variantly, based on an original rhythm and fashioned with individually created elements joker immerses the listener into a world full of energetic surprises. the repetitive, flowing foundation most definitely guarantees a gripping experience in mikes machine. david labeij chose not to play a joker when we met recently and luckily the remix resulted in a quite atypical style thanks to the quite euphoric surrounding. we most surely like it!
