manuel sahagun is considered one of the exciting new talents in the house music scene. he started in 1998 experimenting with his computer and exploring djing as a hobby, playing around with sounds that went from house to techno. influenced by artists like dj dan, derrick carter and dj sneak, he acquired a taste for funky and deep house. starting professionally in 2001, manuel positioned himself quickly as a house music reference among argentinean djs.

manmakemusic continue their adventure into the musical hinterland beyond bass, techno, house and garage with two cuts from new signing, trikk. hailing from porto, portugal, and a recent addition to londons kaleidoscopic music scene, trikk effortlessly marries old school charm with new school edge. a-side, ‘jointly’, takes robert hood-esque jackin’ techno drums and unites them with twisted garage vocal chops and relentless bass. on the flip, ‘i fall down’ takes things down a gear with an emotive mix of cavernous synth lines, heartbroken vocals and skipping drums which harks back to the finest moments of broken beat.

after his sublime remix for hitsafes >let the acid out< on shaddocks first release, tin man makes a deadly return to shaddock records, delivering his most dancefloor oriented record to date. opening track >t_dd_t_rr_y< sees kicking beats with a genealogy harking back to finest chicago house, yet done with contagious feather-light energy of uk funky and a naughty bassline gliding perfectly between cheeky rave chords and their moody older brother. >s_mple_house< continues with this blindingly effective simplicity, dreamily muted chord stabs, rolling congas in ecstatic space over a warm round bass. on the flip on >aut_repeat<, crystalline synth shards coalesce in complex forms and continue in icey determination as the beat sneaks up underneath, propelling into an absolutely blistering workout. >djsn_k< rounds up on a perky high, an ebullient synthline with crunch and a punchy beat so frontal it might make you blush. rave bones akimbo – tin man steals the pure dance!

toby leeming aka the third man returns with his 3rd ep for art - and what a belter it is. maintaining the high quality of previous releases >future tense< and >more than one< both aim for the dancefloor whilst retaining the melodic and harmonic sophistication that made tangier (art-dds4) and messier 66 (art-dds2) such sought-after tracks. another buy-on-sight release from art

big names on this vinyl.. check aux 88 reworks ... well done

superb debut release on a new label dedicated to showcasing cutting edge new japanese dance music. all four artists each deliver quality tracks that are quite different from each other in style in a refreshing but not abstract way, and make this a very interesting and soon to be sought-after release.

sixteen brief and inconsequential images..glimpses of scenes flickering by… heres mickey moonlights debut album! full of discrete and subtle details this lp is definitely aimed for home-listening and not for the club (even if close to everything is receiving massive support from our dj friends..) although mm has assembled a large and stellar cast of musicians the album still remains his singular and unique vision.

this is the second of two 12inchs accompanying the jazzanova remix compilation upside down. next to the motor city drum ensemble remix off the compilation it features two bonus tracks: the remix by manuel tur & dplay and a special dub edit of the mcde remix.

music man records is proud to present the long awaited second mix-cd from marcel dettmann, resident at the notorious berghain club in berlin since even before it was called like that, and one of the key artists on their label ostgut ton. marcel dettmanns previous mix-cd was named best mix-cd of 2008 by resident advisor. last year he released his debut album dettmann to high critical acclaim. in the meantime he is also building the profile of his own label mdr, and of course he stays one of the most in demand remixers around.

while the first release on wania, busen & paleos >stream of love< (featuring dj sotofetts anthemic overdub-12inchedit) was a rather leftfield affair, dritfett is aimed more directly towards the dancefloor. the label artwork gives a clear clue as to what this release is all about: amongst a number of cryptic messages and shout-outs in norwegian - a tr-909 logo. all the tracks here are based around the 909 - thunderous kickdrums and sharp, hissing hi-hats that cut through the mix. still, theres a broad range of sounds, from head-down, fists-clenched warehouse workouts with an industrial edge, to more melodic tracks with detroit references aplenty. make no mistake though: this is all about the power of the almighty 909. theres no fancy tricks here‚ no ableton-trickery or polished waveforms, just good honest techno with a real raw live feel. this gives the tracks the energy and spontaneity that is sorely missed in many of todays productions. the kind of energy you will find - in abundance - in the house and techno releases of the 90s. the kind of energy that can only be achieved by pressing play on a machine, frenetically twisting knobs and punching buttons while letting the energy of the room decide where to go next.

don ruigrok is the winner of vinylized, a famous annual dutch producer contest in co-operation with ade. the winner gets studio time at sae + his release on vinyl. so here it is: the winning release on vinyl! next to dons outstanding original we are proud to present remixes by zoutman, mladen tomic and locomatica. all mixes are melodic and warm, as is the trademark sound for manual music, but they all bring a different approach to the table, making this a package which includes something for everyone!

alec troniq & raumakustik present this nice 4 tracker on deich records. this ep call back the summer in our minds! a short holiday on vinyl! relax and dance into the night...good for all lovers of techhouse.

for renaissance mans first single off their turbo debut lp, we have assembled a team of remixers whom we felt could live up to the playful intelligence of the original. the result is a pack befitting one of the best electronic albums of the year, a mensa-level dissection of contemporary dance music that builds on the finnish duos previous releases on dubsided, sound pellegrino and made to play.
to begin with, we enlisted a personal hero of the renaissance man boys - legendary producer herbert - who offers up a subtle, atmospheric take, adding his own vocals and introducing an esoteric pop sensibility. scottish producer (and thom yorke name-checkee) sei a checks in with a hypnotic techno groove bomb. uk vet paul woolford strikes a balance between wobble acid and melodic piano hooks.

groovin hypnotic electronic deep house action. sounds fresh

manuel tur and langenberg (known for his releases on the nice drum poet society label) dropping some delicious tracks on this powerful yellow wax! deep and slowly building techno tracks that have their roots in the basic channel school, but taking things away from the dubby style and bring it back to the club. dirty morphing synths combined with a warm steady beat create a awesome masculine groove with a lot of tension and a intense and controled energy. amazing tracks for the club. techno as it should be! recommended!! played by: efdemin, benjamin brunn, gerd janson (groove), tama sumo, sven weisemann

incl strong thomas schumacher remix

nice price deal !!!

manuel tur returns to delusions following his recent classic most of this moment on freerange and proceeds to throw another whacking great curveball for those who have think theyve got his game sussed. its quite safe to say the last year or so manuel has continued to push and redifne himself as a producer, refusing to stick to one sound or repeat himself which has resulted in some amazing releases aswell as some fruitful collaborations. recent remixes for permanent vacation, diynamic and dixons philomena label all display his deeper, left-of-centre and more techno-edged sound. here on delusions we have the (bi) polar opposite in the form of the foolin ep. the title track is a beautiful slice of soul-drenched house which goes for a classic sound with simple horn chords, rolling bass and incessant claps spicing up the groove. a simple vocal refrain is spun in like a dj drops an accapella and once heard this will be stuck in your head for days. a firm fireside favourite with all of us here at dog. theres also an instrumental version of foolin for those with vocalitis. flipping over we have the traveller which sees manuel head down slightly more familiar territory with a heavy, lo-slung groove providing the backdrop for some axelrod-style strings and horns, live bass and floating vocal adlibs. a subtley haunting soundtrack feel pervedes as the arrangement developes but the relentless driving beats make sure this track never strays far from the dancefloor.

continuing from where the recent album left off - anyone following skudges output will know they are not mere >one-trick ponies< . the story continues to unfold on this incredibly strong 3 tracker from the moodiest sounding machines in stockholm...

brand new music from the mysterious francis inferno orchestra on londons join the dots music label. 2010 and saw a slew of releases for francis inferno orchestra on under the shade, wolf music and dikso which gained the attention and support from disco and house dons the revenge, eamon harkin, session victim, cottam, eddie c, jay shepheard, hot toddy and chamboche.

silicone souls darkroom dubs label has pulled off quite a coup with their latest release. taking a retrospective look through the labels archive, the duo approached some of their favourite producers, asking them to rework and give their own take some of the music from previous releases... and boy are we in for a treat! the coup in question was the securing of the talents of a certain mr robag wruhme. currently enjoying the acclaim generated from his exquisite long player, >thora vukk< (pampa), wruhme has kindly turned his attention to remixing extrawelts >neuland< for darkroom dubs. the lead track from their 2010 >neuland< marked a key moment for the label, as silicone soul celebrated the signing of an act that they had admired for many years. robag provides not one, but two reworks of the stunning original, each as impressive and moving as the other. the second rework sees john selway turning filippo mancinelli & allen mays >the hills< on its head. the deepness of the 2009 original, is still in evidence as the atmospheric sounds sweep within selways wonderfully driving tech reconstruction.

manila fine vinyls is the label project created by edo arengi (shadow sync) back in 2010 to bring out that soulful side of techno we all love. unlike some freaks you can hear around nowadays, the manila fine vinyls productions have their roots in the original detroit sound: no frills, no virtual mockeries, just the full and deep analog sound that goes straight to your heart. music is a matter of substance, not of decorations! this second release includes two brand new tunes produced at the barricade, edos studio located in the heart of berlin. more feelings, with its electric piano chords and the moog bass line, is a well balanced blend of a fat groove and sweet azmospheres. techno with a little touch romanticism! i want to believe, a deeper tune built around a powerful, hypnotising sh-101 line with a delightful slide, is opened by touching string chords and grows as the various percussive elements are added creating a thicker rhythmic texture. its unsophisticated music, its the original spirit of techno.

one of italy’s strongest techno forces returns with his third release for sonic groove. obtanes latest expedition comes in the form of two songs. >utopian man< starts the release off . a highly infectious foot and mind burner with sweeping bass sounds, dark atmospherics & solid rhythms. overlap this with catchy detroit styled keyboard stabs and you are in for a 10 minute ride into worlds unknown. as one ride ends the next one begins with symbology of decline. this banger of a peak time dance floor techno track wreaks of old school belgian techno flavor. the main hook of the track sweeps and swooshes its way through the speaker cones while the drums punish the speakers and listener further into submission. the perfect formulation of rhythm and sound and another 1/2 knock out punch from obtane.

classic shep pettibone original 12 inch mix + frankie knuckles 12 inch remix

franck roger is back with mandel turner for a massive summer hit !early djs supports and feedbacks by quentin harris, robert dietz, dennis ferrer, ryan crosson, steve bug, jef k, dj deep, lee curtis, sebo k, nick curly, ralph lawson, sascha dive, jimpster, manoo, tony humphries

3rd strike goes from strength to strength with another wonderful, slow down deephouse tracker. early support from mark e.

split ep with classic soulful us vocal house (songs of my life) and a bit modern house sound on the flip side (night train)

savor musics second 12 inch release follows a rockin record by papol and ekkohaus. we are proud to present today some raw future classics that will quite simply tear the floor into pieces. lucas mari is a hard to catch butterfly that spreads his subtle wings on few carefully selected projects. a resident of the city of rosario in argentina, lucas mari appeared occasionally on the very fine argentine label greener, german imprint stock 5 and on us labels adjunct and airdrop. in true early 90s chicago fashion, the two original cuts feature some serious drum machine action, building a sturdy way to allow for some exquisite chord relief to flourish. gez varley, absolutely stunned by listening to the originals, decided to contribute to the release with a simple and hypnotic remix that only he, the one and only g-man has the recipe for.

we are back for another slab of genre-defying, ass-kicking, booty-shaking, timeless underground beats. get the curse music 07 features two cuts from the mysterious crackboy and two remixes from rising star gesaffelstein & toronto’s james teej. the question of crackboy’,s identity is burning everyone’s lips. who’s hiding behind this oh-so poetic moniker? theories abound, and rumor has it crackboy was last seen smoking on his pipe in the filthiest dens of the parisian underbelly. efforts to trace him since then have proved fruitless and until the next sighting, the enigma remains.
in spite of all this mystery one fact is crystal clear: with early feedback from ed banger’s busy p reaching the same conclusion that crackboy’s productions are solid gold, this is an ep with substantial crossover potential that will put the whole scene on the same wavelength.
support from joris voorn, steve bug, konrad black, laurent garnier, busy p, mathew dear, roman flugel, stephan bodzin, deetron, dubfire, kiki, gregor tresher, norman nodge, dj feadz, the hacker, remain, cosmo vitelli, arnaud rebotini, tobi neuman, erol alkan, ewan pearson...

so here we go again, dj mehdi and riton are carte blanche. cant stop, wont stop. the new ep is called white man on the moon, and includes smashing jack on the moon, and next single with you, featuring alexis taylor from hot chip on vocal duties. the new mixtape is called house party 2: the pyjama jam. and last but not least, the new tour is called carte blanche revue, its worldwide, its djing and tr-909ing, its rollerskate dancing, its popping, and its locking (for real)
