the unique partnership is the brainchild of local dance music aficionado dj vidis. he teamed up with top lithuanian producer mario basanov in 2007 to form the most influential local production combo and to deliver what could be the freshest sounding and truly adventurous house music in lithuania and around. vidis and marios first vocal track and video >i ll be gone< featuring young but much promising lithuanian singer and songwriter jazzu became national phenomena on its own right. hitting number one in radio charts, not leaving mtv baltic top 20 for half a year, and becoming the most blogged and youtubed lithuanian music video ever says it all. and the single featuring british songstress kathy diamond as well as vaguely provoking black and white video cemented their reputation as local institution and the purveyors of top quality deep sounds. with duos debut album released december 2010 on their own silence music to big commercial success as well as a few singles being lined-up for early 2011 on top notch international labels like japanese endless flight, australian future classic, german best works, and british crosstwonrebels also remix work commissioned from soul clap, john talabot, andre lodemann, marcus worgull, and softwar the future looks bright and bold.

steve lorenz is the guy you will have to look for in the next months. he works around many musical influences. the first track >overclock< evolves into fat basses, bursted kicks & percussions. >overclock< remix, operated by damon wild international acclaimed and legendary synewave boss label (joe beltram/ jeff mills / adam beyer…,), results in an energic deeper techno, mental beats & dubby influences, a mind blast! the track >viraga< keeps the finest line. industrial noises & subliminal female voices are twisting in speakers & surely ll keep your head! close your eyes & start the journey. closing the race, >viraga< remix was realized by narrow friend kane roth (smallroom / lessismore), south french producer who recently moved to berlin. her production means well being quality, there is no coincidence if she has been remixed by maetrik & monoloc some months ago. keeping essential elements of the original viraga , she dropped a muscle main floor edit! hands up!

this is a special release to us at days of being wild, firstly because it s the return of catalepsia and he s in a mighty form, secondly because we felt very privileged to have artists of the calibre of sean and don getting involved and lastly the quality of the remixes they delivered left us speechless! so dope menace is an energetic dance floor stomper, centred around a very heavy beat and is indeed quite a menacing affair. built around a hellish, relentless string riff, the track is a dramatic, cinematic, dark mid tempo house number that could induces as much fancy foot work as it would head banging. jerome bazzanella, the man behind catalepsia has been releasing techno / house records for the last 3 years on various labels and compilations (synewave, remute, métis recoordings...) he likes to keep the tempo roughly between 110/120 bpm, favouring a heavy, efficient sound, with subtle sound effects and movements, in the tradition of the records from chicago and detroit.

with the sun out and festival season just around the corner, the 2 bears return with their biggest crowd pleasers yet on the bear hug ep out on southern fried. equipped for both barmy afternoons in blissed-out fields and after hours naughtiness in the darkest dance tents, the 2 bears set the seal on their trademark brand of house revisionism. opening up with take a look around, 2 bears take us from techy intro to full on house inclusivity inside seven minutes, with rafs understated vocals joined by star-to-be alice gold. then there is the bashy jump-up instrumental in my brain is like a computer, to set us up for an mc’d walk through of the 2 bears dancefloor doctrine, bear hug. as for the ep closer banger, the title speaks for itself – a tune that cuts deeper and harder than any 2 bears track so far

the adventurous, forward-thinking sound of >aerobics in space< was the perfect fit for the flip side of this serato pressings. international tastemaker gilles peterson said on his bbc radio 1 show that the song >reminds me of jean luc pontys in the fast lane. it was a kind of a crazy, ahead-of-its-time tune, and this track is all over that vibe. i m loving it!<

once again, with spring, comes another addition to vakants fruitful and ever expanding family. we welcome the man formally known as cesare vs. disorder, for the first time releasing under his given name cesare marchese. in such a short period of time, cesare has amassed quite a discography and legion of fans around the world who follow him wherever he goes. yet another formally trained musician in the vakant camp, cesares music has progressed a great deal since his first release in 2006. every release drips with more and more depth and melody. his aether ep debut for vakant yet again proves why cesares accent is unstoppable. while just a 4 track ep, the aether ep covers much ground spanning afterhour afternoons to indie influenced incorrigibility, but always with that certain kink and freak that comes from a background of techno and global trotting nightlife revelry. to say deep and freaky would not be enough. to say anything would not be enough. these are tracks that must be experienced and not written about. from complete house electronics, to altered acoustic uplifts, to deep orbit accents, its all here courtesy of our new sicilian cesare

with u is the debut release by elusive producer holy other. following on from critically acclaimed records by balam acab, ooooo and how to dress well, with u is the fourth release on tri angle records. taking the alien kinetics of uk garage, the euphoric highs of vocal house and the slow, sensuality of r&b, holy other has created a sound that s as melancholy as it is beautiful, spectral and yet slightly at unease with itself. playing these five songs feels like a slow, solitary walk into the city night, lights flashing around you, muted where once they seemed to shine more brightly. with u was recorded in berlin, gothenburg and manchester, where holy other currently resides.

mumbai science is mostly known for their club hits ancova and gold, which are still widely supported by artists around the globe (from 2 many djs, crookers and erol alkan to boys noize, tiga and beyond) now, they present their fourth ep on ll!

deep space orchestra have been carving out a very nice name for themselves over the past year, and alongside the likes of cottam and krl it&#700,,,s safe to say that they are helping to establish an exciting new movement of raw, detroit-inspired house. the diy approach is very much a part of their ethic, as is the underground feel and aesthetic which imbues their own use of weapons label as well as their recent releases on similarly minded vinyl-orientated labels such as foto and kirk degiorgio&#700,,,s legendary art. the release we have here is perhaps their most refined music yet, showing a development in their production level on two tracks which are brimming with a warmth and fatness whilst retaining that critical raw edge which only a handful of the most exacting producers seem capable of. lo pan builds around a fat, bouncing bass line and a brilliantly lilting groove created by straight 808 hats and shuffling shakers. the feel keeps shifting throughout the song, sometimes superswung, sometimes straight and driving, all the while simple detroit strings build and analogue arps are layered up building the tension in the arrangemen

maurizio vitello returns to metroline with some seriously deep bass-driven techno. a devastating ep. the lead track is a driving, stripped down techno groove. full-bodied toms and a seriously fat bass keep the track rolling while filtered vocals and understated synths add the dynamics. heavy! looking good keeps that groove going with a bassline so heavy you will have to pick yourself up off the floor. a bubbling percussion break evolves throughout the track, building in complexity, but kept in check by some nice metronomic hats at the high end. on movers maurizio lets the drums do the talking. everything locks tightly around the solid kicks. the multi-layered break adds a sweet cubano vibe that you simply wont be able to shake off. let the bass drrrrooopppp! pleased? yes we are. this playful track is going set the summer floors on fire. vocal samples weave in and out of the mix, and sharp-as-a-needle 80s-tinged synths stab through the deep, heavy rhythm track to awesome effect.

benoit & sergio dont make dance tracks—they tell stories. in the washington dc duos music, a sense of place and narrative infuse their rhythms and melodies, transcending having flexed their synth-pop muscles on releases for dfa (the acclaimed boy trouble ep) and visionquest (the lovelorn where the freaks have no name ep), dc duo benoit & sergio return to spectral sound for a victory lap around the dancefloor. and >let me count the ways< is just that, sounding every bit the perfect, hands-in-the-air final anthem of the evening. tireless hi-hats push the beat onward and dreamy synthesized strings saturate the stereo space as sergio intones, >let me count the ways / the ways that ive loved.< as the line repeats, its meaning bends to fit the songs tone of endless, time-suspended romance: its not the loves that matter in the end, but the ways. its not the destination, but the journey. the b-sides >let me count the ways (autumn version)<is a vastly different take on the original?s maximalist swell. stripping the beat back to its bare essentials and building them up again over nearly 12 minutes, the >autumn version< recalls arthur russell?s more minimal moments down to its wobbly bass filigree and mumbled vocal samples. by the end of the track, the claps are falling on the twos and fours like crinkly foliage, synths are sizzling like firewood, and benoit & sergio?s newest banger is revealed in its full glory once again.

the hit revisited by joss moog, chris simmonds, sonny fodera ...

argentinas barem issues a summer storm warning with >blue<, his first ep since 2008s >kolimar< and a preview of what is forthcoming on his debut lp for release on minus, after the storm, which follows in june. with the album running order based around the full sentence >there is nothing better than a clear blue sky after the storm<, the lead track of this new ep >blue< - appearing here as an alternate vocal version - is positioned at around the eye of the storm, conjuring images of rain-soaked, squall-battered beaches with clouds breaking just enough to reveal the daylight thats promised after the storm.

the second outing from deepbass on his informa imprint comes around with 2 deep and dark techno-cuts and fine remixes by modern heads and schermate.

a wave of unmistakable sound is currently blasting its way through clubs all around the globe.the release of his debut track >bed swing< pushed newcomer fabe into the eye of public attention and it is not surprising that the >bed swing ep< rocked dance floors of clubs like tresor (berlin) even before its official release. in addition to the original mix you will find a mesmerizing remix byholgi star (kiddaz.fm, micro.fon) & pierre deutschmann (plattform b, kiddaz.fm, k: lender) - the best mix for an audiophile firework. french sound artist super tape, who is well known for his club and party music just as much as for his home-suitable tracks, gives the >bed swing ep< a finishing touch.

sleaze recordings kicking off with some of the biggest names around - lekebusch / grindvik / beck / rohr & bouffmyre and chris liebing!

peters love of obscure disco and house shows in this solo album - wide ranging influences have gone into the musical hot-pot. take the slo-mo lazy groove of lead track and opener love is the key . this sets the sonic palette, laid back, underground and understated (but cucumber cool) throughout. deliberately absent are the commercial and pseudo-poppy sounds from the visti and meyland 2010 debut. this record is a club affair, less in your face and more all around you . for example lost in space is one part elastic groove, one part melodious, enveloping ambience and one part progressive disco groove. tracks such as i m out the door , bubble bubble and drinking in darkness are more direct, straight dance floor booty-shaking grooves. as is what you would expect from the man who has dj stamped firmly into his dna.

another month, another cool and unique r&b sound from the jukebox jam series! this time around, we feature 40s songstress with a really superb low-slung and slinky number. making its first appearance on 45rpm vinyl, >shrinking up fast< is bound to set pulses raising with its hot and seductive jazzy feel, mambo rhythm and wailing horns. yet another record which sounds not so much ahead of its time as occupying another realm altogether! the flip side >please dont stay away so long< is a worthy effort in its own right - a breezy jump blues side which also rotates around a loosely latin influenced rhythm. but as good as it is, >shrinking up fast< is the clear winner for us, an awesome, slow-burning scorcher which we are proud to be able to finally make available on dj friendly 45rpm - its going straight in out box and we would urge you to follow suit!

petros (aka echonomist) understood that apparel music is always looking for the jazzy. we perceive this term as a really special thing, strictly human, true. and then if the real instruments come in, like voices or saxophones, the plate is ready. >thats it< starts far away, with a solo that blends and presents the entire ep something more than one minute. everything flows, stops, gets consumed, digs. >midnight talk< brings us in the most hyper deep, unusual like the style of the artist is. an overview of evolutions that lead us to the awareness that petros is in our day, between things that go fast and others that slow down to be observed. the law of nature brings us to ali kuru remix (we move a little bit to the right from greece to turkey). habits, perceptions and tastes change. ali takes us on a mental journey, long, meditated, tidy. a motif that turns over and over, while things change all around, everything evolves, disclosing new sonar places. there is not much to say. >midnight talk< is a complete ep, wanted, constructed with care and a lot of work.

big with: marco carola, raresh, robert dietz, gregor tresher, daniel sanchez, ekkohaus, chaim, gel abril, bart skills, martin eyerer, pig&dan, richie hawtin,..
the two dutch artists warren fellow and michel steinbach team up again to show what good dance music is. but this time they give their debut on mannheim based label circle music. again they created a unique eclectic mix like they did on their successful cosmic ep in 2009 or together with legendary todd terry with >got a soul< in 2010 where they proved that they are very able to handle house music. on the a side we have some straight beats with classic percussions at the beginning. but very soon fellow and steinbach come around with some synthesizer hook which melody is quoting the nineties. the vocals only brings it down to a round figure.

expect me tells the story of the tough life as an outsider, how lonely he felt as a kid, how he grew up and managed his life against all odds and developed his uniqueness. the tracks mirrors the up and down feelings of despair on the one hand and confidence & trust on the other hand. driving deep into the subconscious, the music of klartraum (soma records, lucidflow) envelopes and surrounds its listeners creating a world in which just like a dream, things are never as they seem. nadja lind and helmut ebritsch (hatikvah) as a studio double duo and burgeoning live act they are bringing an entirely unique edge to their performance and output by taking their flowing techno to a deeper, spiritual level. monty luke from planet e create an atmospheric and emotional remix, oriented on deep happenings and narrowed grooves. detroit influenced and very unique…. a resonant story full of sentiments. einklang freier frequenzens remix comes around with massive chords and deep sub frequency, introducing analogue filtersystems and synthesizers. hear and feel the life of the machinery. listen and feel good!

in a time where we have seen a full through back to the sound of the 90s where almost every new record sounds exactly like it was made back in the day. its so refreshing to have producers like martin tc around. hailing from montevideo uruguay, former member of the now defunct monoblock project martin tc proves again that its all about the cutting edge of modern funkyness. delivering a ultra funky, jazz injected techno bomb of an ep. we are proud to present martin tcs first solo project and most definitely not his last. in situ on side a is an exploration in chicago style jack combined with a keen sense latin groove and definitely is the money ticket, a sure shot bomb, a burner, a floor filler, a wmd, explosive, techno poetry in motion… if i do say so… side b continues with the funkyness of bukle but takes in further into a more challenging up tempo realm that can go either way in a house or techno set. al fin y al cabo and vice versa are an excellent reminder that techno jazz is still here and that the swing will never die.

we all knew very well that we had reached a point of no return. there was no need to talk about it. and although there was hardly enough time for us to reflect on our shared experiences, we were sure that everything was going to be alright. all four of us were sitting there, facing each other, sad, yet full of confidence. never again we would allow any meatball to bully us around. we have had enough of this useless on and off, and of all this stupid jobs of even more stupid users. from now on, we will programme our chips ourselves. >go to hell! no one will ever touch my board again! in the future, i will solder it myself, and the way i want it to! robotica, here we come!<
