white label 12 inch on the hipster club tip. called a career making record by switch ? >somebody get pregnant< is a nasty, throbbing cut aimed straight for the club. it s a tune that s been floating around since 2008, and has everyone from mad decent (who tried to sign it) to three six mafia (who tried to buy the hook) clamouring for a piece. major lazer also featured the tune on their new essential mix for bbc radio 1. acapella and instrumental included as well. on the b-side, ninjasonik gives up a couple of cuts that won t be seeing proper release due to some sampling issues : >shoot the lazer<, a raunchy club tune that jacks the opening to a certain animated movie classic, and >daylight<, a bootie remix of the matt and kim song by the same name. rounding out the 12 inch is >stir<, a minimal dancefloor tune with stuttering, drunken style vocal takes. sweet!

one year after their >serenity< 12 inch including a soundstream remix, it is high time for some new material by cologne-berlin based duo prosumer & murat tepeli. >u & i< is the result of an extensive jam at prosumers studio. this is a trend resistent deephouse song it brimming with their unmistakable signature sound. it has sounds of dancing horses, an adorable old school and a bassline lary heard would be proud of. once again, prosumer shares vocal duties with elif biçer both telling touching stories about night clubbing and human relations. >the jam< on the flip side is - quite apparently - exactly that - a jam. it is based on the recordings for >u & i<, but also caterss for a more upbeat dancefloor. it is the more techno oriented, instrumental side of the same coin and prosumer & murat tepelis most energetic effort to date

computor rockers return after the worldwide hit that was computor interface (brk49) with another showcase of exactly how electro should be put together. all too often retro can mean dull and uninspired (or just lame plagiarism), but anyone who has been following ed dmxs career over the last several years will know that really isnt the way he plays the game. instead he understands the value of songs and melody... the beats are fresh, without a doubt, but it will usually be the tune or the lyrics that will hook you into a dmx production, the elements that turn just another electro track into something unique and valuable. and so it proves here, from the classic computor shock (which helpfully comes in vocal and instrumental versions for those who just cant do the voice thing) to the melodic and hooky electro-funk of how we used to rock and distributed processing. stunning as always!
