after a little winter hiatus, the selfmade millionaire returns offering two fresh treats of escapism in these hard times of recession and depression: rockin & poppin tells the simple story of a surprise-party at 2am over at mr. bs where our protagonist is overwhelmed by the extreme density of funky music and ladies. so he gets down right away to rock it, pop it and break it on down, end of story. a rare and honest piece of music for both the breaker and the modern soul affectionado! heading for depression on the other hand reminds us of the dire situation our economy is in, while it encourages to keep the boogie going anyway even though lifes getting rougher and tougher day by day. equipped with a groove so heavy its got a moon in orbit, this serious choon will cause blissful oblivion on any dancefloor.

3 track taster to the retrospective of balihu compilation which will be released fall 2009. all tracks are previously unreleased tracks, including on the moon which was featured on the obscure bal 002 white label. the other two tracks were picked up from daniels private vault and are exclusive to this 12inch. glitter your tip! a very tasty release for the disco and house fans alike.

he s the man of the moment. james nidecker, rising star of the dutch technoscene, is always sure to raise an eyebrow or two. not only his djsets, where the amsterdam based artist is often getting the crowds wild with his dark gothpunklike outfits, but also his recent productions can be called mindblowing. nidecker perfectly knows how to combine his dark vocals with uplifting beats, combining influences from electro and minimal techno. s.t.a.l.k.e.r is the culmination of his talents, a hit record already wandering around the dutch clubscene for a while, now finally released on alexander koning s upstruct imprint.
the aside of this release provides a more than outstanding remix from dave ellesmere. renowned for his collaboration with producer 2000 and one under their name microfunk, but nowadays also reaching international fame under his own guise, ellesmere turns s.t.a.l.k.e.r into an ideal dj tool. with a length close to nine minutes, his mix slowly takes the funk of nidecker s rhythms to an upwinding, more techhouse based floorburner.
the other side of this ep is more about the clubs, with dutch dj producer georgio schultz and alexander koning together transforming s.t.a.l.k.e.r into a housetrack like there s no other. here, the unique vocals of nidecker are combined with more melodic, sometimes crazy sounds, always keeping the original flow of the track alive, but taking the best parts of this clubhit to a next level.

plays by:shlomi aber, alexander koning, karotte, shinedoe, namito, dubfire, raresh, ellen allien, bart skils, gel abril, laurent garnier, anderson noise, nuno dos santos etc
