bot ox guys, cosmo vitelli and julien briffaz, perfect pair of its kind, return where they somehow belong: the dancefloor of a club. their remixes for other artists - logo, aladdin and even the unexpected toxic avenger - showed their soft spot for dancing, lately. this pair of tracks brings something special as they feature the foremost poets for the vocal part.. a figure of the underground dance music wall of fame, the foremost poets aka johnny dangerous is also a voice that techno and deep house lovers keep in a corner of their imagination: >i ll beat that bitch with a bat<, >reasons to be dismal<, >moonraker<, >pressin on<.... two versions of >perfect pair< are proposed along the most classical standards: an >original< one and a >dub< 13-minutes one. each of them have their own progressive, undated flavor

for his inaugural outing on under the shade, james johnston delivers a deep and heavy house workout with three original belters that all seem to evolve and grow from a slow sauntering groovers into mammoth club rumblers. slow in tempo but huge in delivery all teeter around the lower pace of the house spectrum but as james layers them up all become so crammed with content they bust out at the seems and drive home in splendid fashion. also included is a killer andy ash remix of >there is always time to change< that boosts the tempo and utilizes the underlying disco sample to devastating effect.

after the success leonid neverminds light is here ep, we invited a few artists to reinterpret and reshape leonids work. first up is dutch duo duijn & douglas, who already released on nowar, who took on thymus stimulator and turned it into a deep and funky time bomb. very basic and strongly efficient grooves layered with riffs and counter-riffs, making you hooked instantly. a wonderful hip-shaker! on the flipside detroits kris wadsworth, with solid releases on nrk and boe recordings, applied a more machine funk approach turning feel into a deep jack workout with leonids original dreamy sounds enveloping kriss rawness. finally miles sagnia, whose releases on his own atmospheric existence and aesthetic audio prove to be timeless gems, also combined the raw and the soulful. a true deep house gem with funky basslines, straightforward beats and a sweet deep almost detroit techy vibe.

rejected look to round out the summer and call in the autumn with a track that has been igniting floors all season for label chiefs edwin oosterwal and joris voorn. >mike loves the horn< also sees a rejected debut for two artists who individually have rapidly risen to the top of their game.

15 years have passed since alex cortex began to create his own vision of electronic music - timeless and beyond trends, without a buzz or hype, steadily winning the following of djs and home-listeners, collectors and critics worldwide. his style can be described as unpredictable to a certain point, while maintaining high aesthetic standards. playful with quotes and references, always low-key and focused on psychedelic immersion into sound that shifts the attention from the artist to the music. kihon is a very personal effort, as suggested by the self-portrait on the cover that puts ear, eye, and mouth -reception and production- into context. the carefully elaborated design of this gatefold double lp speaks as a whole and in true minimalist fashion about the passing of time, without ever declaring nostalgia to be a means for itself. this also reflects in the music. alex cortex evades large gestures and obvious quotes, but is certainly conscious of locating his album within a framework of references to other works of electronic music that are important for his own musical evolution. in 11 nameless tracks, kihon takes us on a journey through organic worlds of sound that invites us to flow with the music and connect with the feelings contained in it. the title kihon that relates to japanese martial arts translates to basics or fundamentals, the training of which does not even cease when reaching master grades. those basics that are passed on beyond time are also the foundation of this album. by concentrating on the bare essentials, the music begins to speak, turning the album into a harmonic whole. kihon therefore is also a return to listening, away from a utilitarian perception of music as a background sound. this does not mean it would not work perfectly well in a club context -in the right hands it indeed does- but more notably, kihon is a work of art worth your attention and destined to stand the test of time

while yacht refers to >dystopia (the earth is on fire)< as a post-apocalyptic fight song and a cautionary tale, the tracks chant-along melodies and unsparing synths nudge listeners far closer to dance than despair. from the sound of things, that reaction will likely also be elicited by two new remixes of the portland duos song, from their 2011 long player shangri-la. legendary production duo justin strauss and bryan mette, aka whatever/whatever, completely rework the sound of >dystopia< on their version, reorienting it with heavy doses of funk. while the original rides atop buzzing synths, the whatever/whatever remix adds a thick bassline and shimmery keyboards that leap out like solar flares. on the flipside, uk-based emperor machine starts their dystopia remix with a dubby feel – every vocal echoing endlessly – and then u-turns into wholly a updated, yet classic, disco sound. the rhythms are sultry, slinking behind a deep, repeated, synthline, its a recipe for an unexpectedly smooth, subtly hypnotic, and utterly danceworthy song.

excellent deep house album. andy vaz s straight vacationing, his first full-length artist album, since the 2006 release of repetitive moments last forever…, registers as less a straight-up collection of dance-floor burners and more of a variety pack that mixes club tracks and full-fledged house songs. listeners hungry for just ordinary 4/4 throw-downs will not entirely get their share of those, but they ll also get a whole lot more on this dynamic and well-rounded set of eight album tracks and that is exploring house music not just as a simple one way street, but give you a very personal view of the music we call house.

young citizen from schwerin, josh, whom we already know from >ostwind limited< & >amuse gueule<, now presents his first own single on his home lable ostwind. >closing words< is the name of the vinyl and also the opener on the a1 in a fluffy josh-manner with stylish detroit techno. on the a2, josh will show us with >claiming back<, to which sound he has grown up and provides this oldschool track with a certain fresh note. with >steam trap< and >social affairs<, josh reenforces his emotional side on the b-side and knows how to persuade one with this tracks. a maximum sound experience on a minimal level, and a successful and smooth record that will bring every floor to the boil

we are very happy and proud to announce yippiee?s fourth release. your dudes from hannover, filtertypen and benny ferkel just signed five great new tracks for the upcoming indoor season, but for sure they will work also just excellent for the last open air events as well. the yippiee004, as every release by yippiee, again is a hannover based production. yes, even if you didn?t know mario aureo, the only bird that has flown away and now has his nest in berlin is from hannover as well as chris lattner who was born near our wonderful homebase.with the ?all night long ep? mario tried to do a record with different tracks for every part of a long lasting night. the track ?under pressure? is a digital bonus, but the vinyl itself will show you yippiee?s and especially mario?s point of view for the night in a deep and groovy way.
played & supported by dubfire, solomun, butch, martin eyerer, re.you and many more.

the proposition is a simple one. it was a 2009 when julio bashmore first remixed >heartbreaker< from deadboys classic first release - the >u cheated< ep on well rounded.
he remoulded the garage template of the original into something more immediate, replacing the swung off-beats of the original with driving forward-rhythms and a clarity of purpose that takes absolutely nothing away from the musical impact of the original. this circulated on mp3 and we smiled and danced.
unexpectedly, in 2010 jb returned to >heartbreaker< for a different interpretation. this time around a more haunting approach was the order of the day with cross-fading strings creating a soulful, otherworldly atmosphere. the drop this time also swapped sub bass for punchy 808s. a tantalising further alternative that pointed the way to this vinyl release.
back 2 back timeless brilliance for the dancefloor on our favourite format. get stuck in.

daniel solar is one half of dikso, the excellent edits imprint responsible for many a disco-rinsed dancefloor burner over the last year. the hannover native is also one of berlins emergent talents, a dj, producer, label owner and a&r intent on bridging the gap between disco and dance music, while coaxing the techno-loving citys tastes a little further off the beaten track.
as a child of the early 80s, daniel was strongly influenced by synth pop and dance music, before rap and hip hop caught his imagination and inspired his first forays into production. once he had finished school, daniel became more and more and intrigued with house and techno, clubs and raves, and his studio style expanded to take in electro, techno, and deep house until we arrive at today and his latest release: too much light ep.

inner surface music present their next release from manchester based and ,dj support from regis, truss. lucy, cio d or, truncate, samuli kemmpi, perc, inigo kennedy, forward strategy group, shifted, jonas kopp, grovskopa, obtane. inner surface music present the second release on the label, after the success of the first wireman ep we are very proud to present an ep from two of the label owners and. 2011 has already been a very productive year for this duo, with releases on horizontal ground, black sun records and project squared. they also made their first appearance at berghain this march as part of the horizontal ground / frozen border collective. for the second release on inner surface music we are presenting three deeply hypnotic techno tracks built for the dancefloor. non compliant sets the tone for the release with its deep tunnelling soundscapes built round tough techno drums to devastating effect. reverberate moves more towards the housier end of techno playing with dub stabs and lush keys to set the sultry mood. molecular deconstruction closes the release with its metallic drones and trippy sequences building their own cavernous environment to play in.

flying donkey music, after the first two releases by samuel l session and kirk degiorgio got the respect as one of the new more interesting labels in the underground stream. as third release we can appreciate the homeboy claudio mates m2g4: he shows us something new and different, which is hard to catalogue, just a techno/house track or a simple piece of electronic music. tribute mix by claudio mate is a perfect journey in deep, dark, emotional, emotive lands within an amazing epic ending with guitars played by luca petrosino (an italian guitar talent). orlando voorn really doesnt need any introduction: his deep divine mix is the perfect mix and balance between raw grooves, melodies and solid bassline like his usual trademark. its perfect for dancefloor people who loves berghain or fabric. david hausdorf is a classical musician from the munich philharmonic orchestra but he is also well known for his old works on labels such as synaptic waves, styrax leaves, salo, lifetime music.

nice price deal !!! the 8th release on mindtrick records will be by the greek producer and sound engineer mobthrow. mobthrow just released his full length self titled debut album on adnoiseam and is now ready for his first 12inch release which will come out on the 5th of september. the 12inch brings a somewhat deeper feeling to the sound of mobthrow which is starting out with pitchblack on the a side. the 2nd track is flashback and is based in rewind mirror techniques (intro sample remains the same if you rewind it). heavy beats at 140 bpm. it is a story between dreams and reality, as the storyteller (mulholand drive sample) describes.
enter dubcore sets the tempo a little bit higher, balancing between dubstep/dnb. techy production approach (808.909 & tb303 used), born to spin in underground clubs at rush hour. also on the b side you will find a remix of pitch black which is made by german sound designer and composer hecq which kranks up the sound completely and make you slit your own wrists while listening to it!
overall this record is an excellent prove that dark sounding music can be very danceable!

the musical heavyweight matthias vogt is back on polytone. after the success of his first ep >together as one< - sold out vinyl edition, excellent feedback from top djs, first track on the big city beats compilation vol. 13 cd 3 - the second ep arrives on polytone. the polytone boys knew right away that >copying the future< has the potential to be a classic. a track with character and a high recognition value: hypnotic rave stabs and uplifting chords combined with a driving groove will send shivers down each true music lovers spine. >copying the future< is delivering deja vus without copying the past - a great track with a past and a future, deeply rooted in the here and now. >stillach< claps its way into every listeners ear. the b side of the ep named after a mountain stream in the allgäu is calm and also powerful with a slow, minimal and very tight groove. vogt is going deeper! matthias vogt once again demonstrates his great musical skill and versatility.

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.

killekills next release comes from snuff crew, a crew you might and should have heard about. snuff crews mission is to bring back the fun on the dancefloors worldwide. the masked duo is known for their jacking live shows that combine the raw energy of early chicago and acid house with a fresh and modern sound. rumour has it that they come from >somewhere in germany<, but their sounds draw a very heavy influence from the original acid house city of chicago alongside italo-disco and old school techno flavours. the use of old school roland boxes as sound sources and almost non existent use of even basic effects means their sound is rough, raw and aimed squarely at the dancefloor. their records have been released on labels like skylax, gigolo records, rush hour, playhouse and many more, but the two guys also run their own imprint called snuff trax where they release music of jackmates like kink and neville watson as well as their own tracks and collaborations with artists such as legendary robert owens. thats enough for now with the name dropping. killekill has got a lot of great exclusive material from the guys but decided to release only two very strong and distinctive tracks for now: domo on the one side is a proper acid monster that will go down on dancefloors worldwide like a hurricane and leave the dancers breathless. eat this on the other side is a rudimentary chicago jack track that might well have been taken off a dance mania record from 1992. this track is working its way with nothing but a few drum tracks and a vocal sample and is pure raw sexual energy.

canadian electro mainstay lowfish, lets loose a preview of his forthcoming >hypersensitivity< full-length. lowfish is gregory de rocher, and barring last years >memories…< album, a compilation of vintage archive recordings, this double-a-side 7 inch is actually the first new lowfish release since 2008. while his last 2 albums could best be described as serene and clinical, electro at its most austere, lowfishs return to suction records, the label he co-runs with solvent, also marks a return to a more melancholic electropop sound.

>rdjcs5<, a new 4-track 12-inch ep by solvent, is the result. this is suction022. each and every sound on this record came from rdj’s old cs5, painstakingly programmed and multi-tracked by solvent over the course of several months. the limited capabilities and sound palette of this humble little synth provided quite a challenge, but ultimately the results are not merely an exercise in technical synthnerdery, rdjcs5 speaks more of solvents musical kinship to thee analord. opening track >curtains< bears similarity to early rephlex signing bochum welt, while >radiator<, >mould<, and >tassels< each contain hallmarks of the classic afx sound. at the same time, each track also sounds distinctly and unmistakably solvent. the 12 inch vinyl edition is limited to 300 copies, in brown chipboard sleeve with sticker, and also contains an additional noise/drone piece at the end of side b. entitled >sandpaper<, this cut will be individually hand-etched by solvent, for a 1-of-a-kind cut/click/loop experience.

serial chart toppers bombstrikes are back again with another ep of club wrecking music. canadian j-roc is at the controls for this one and the end result is a great showcase of how the sould out dj is carving a niche for his own brand of quirky and bass influenced music. also on the ep is a colab with label boss mooqee, so as you would expect from bombstirkes, the pedigree involved is high on this one.

dismantle unleashes his debut release for n-types wheel & deal records, a label coming on leaps and bounds since their debut album compilation release, a highly prolific label launching the careers of many upcoming producers. dismantle is no different - he is set to blow up this year with an ep also pencilled in walshs biscuit factory label – high energy dubstep for fans of hardcore gaming!

after 2 years of throwing events in new york, stranjjur nycs next logical step was to move on to a more international platform. after introducing artists such as milton jackson, carlo lio, spencer parker, manik, till von sein, alex niggemann, pezzner and many others to the big apple, stranjjurs kev obrien (alongside label partner andy inelli) have decided to carry on the same a&r principals that made the events a success over to stranjjurs newest venture: a fully-fledged record label. the new brooklyn-based label has decided to hit the ground running with its debut ep coming from hot italian duo, lula circus. having also just recently been signed to one of americas hottest labels, culprit, its safe to say that the lula boys (danilo and sergio) are on the cusp of becoming stars of the underground dance scene. the vinyl edition of the miami vices ep features two amazing original tunes from lula circus, including title track, miami vice, which takes aim at the dance floor with a full arsenal of heavy bass and a powerful disco-inspired hook that instantly grabs a hold of the soul and refuses to let go. ovum and hot natured wonder-kid, manik, delivers a highly addictive remix, by slicing the main hook up, while supporting it with an insanely groovy bass line. on the b-side is pumpin groovin moovin, a future-funk jam thats carried by a focused low-end groove and catchy vocals. the remix comes courtesy of freeranges (and recent crosstown rebels signee) pezzner, and its one of his biggest remixes ever. this one has been receiving lots of early promo hype, thanks in part to maya jane coles, who included it in her bbc radio essential mix earlier this month. mayas support has helped to create a global whirlwind of anticipation amongst house music aficionados for the release of this incredible ep. the time has finally come for stranjjur imprint to be born!

what do you call musicians like com truise? he seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like nostalgia, synth-wave, eighties, and electro-funk and you will scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. how do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern? awesome is an option. especially when it sounds like you are driving the knight rider car through thick clouds of nitrous oxide, like >fairlight<, the title track from truises new single, which previously appeared on an iso50 comp called dry waves and also has this jarring, falling-all-over-itself middle section that prevents you from trancing out too hard. >beta eyes<, the track that follows, is even more restless, with a drum pattern that is fidgety and clustered, kicks and snares fighting each other like two drum and bass heads arguing over an atari remote. >polyhurt<, a narcotic, almost ballad-like closer that inevitably leaves you thinking, >now, how the hell am i going to describe that to someone?< the vinyl exclusive cut >colorvision< could be truises most dancefloor friendly track yet.
limited to 500 units worldwide (200 in europe).

in following up marcellus pittmans killer eastside story, seventh sign waste no time in bringing another red-hot act to the label. a member of the legendary underground resistance / los hermanos / galaxy 2 galaxy crew, santiago salazar has also enjoyed success as a member of the trinity (with mad mike banks and gerald mitchell) and more recently as ican, not to mention his many solo outings. his pedigree is unquestionable, a fact not lost on the many labels that have played host to his music, including submerge, planet e, motech and now seventh sign. santiagos sound is full of soul and warmth and is presented using state of the art production and a rich palette of modern sounds, as this e.p. demonstrates to devastating effect... hot!
