first vinyl pressing since the original 1988 royal records lp issue. started as a rumor, or more likely a threat, royal trux burst from the belly of nyc cum dc scum punks pussy galore in 1986. disinclined to follow the path of their host group, royal trux began the process of exploring their own identity, starting with recordings given to the end of music as we know it compilation. the idiosyncratic album offered skeletal projections of songs that betrayed a singular logic groomed on bizarre and previously unconnected realms of the rock canon.

an all time favourite from the vast stay up forever catalogue gets a well deserved revival. aaron liberator and the geezer finest hour together produced the bastard acid techno offspring santa pod at the end of 1999. with high velocity 303s and racing car samples what more could you ask for?

canadian living in tokyo big dj support from tong / ben watt / sasha / james holden & zabiela

since 1996 when he started working for >dms< distribution and at the >imports recordstore< in darmstadt greg parker is a part of the elctronic music scene. at the end of the 90ies he became member of the house scene in the area around darmstadt through djing. in 2002 he took over the recordstore, renamed it to >smoove records< and became resident dj at the house club >room 106< where he met terry lee brown junior. afterwards a close friendship developed that inspired parker since 2006 releasing records. support by terry lee brown junior, the timewriter, alex flatner, nacho marco, stryke

scaring us all the way from sofia, bulgeria spatula city is proud to present to you the technologically advanced technique of the one like the kink. snapping off his first spatula city release with three dancefloor scorchers, this record is not to be missed. jigga is just a straight up bassline balancing act that just drives. on dat funk and check he collaborates with eclectic vocal stylings of austin, txs j.a.m.o.n. both tunes are jump up flex on the floor devastators. kinks techy vibe and robotlike control over j.a.m.o.n.s vocals creates a sound unlike any other artist in the scene. his tech savvy jack infused style cannot be compared to. just when you think one of these tunes is going off the deep end, it turns around and jacks you right in the face! and...just for funks we had kink add two accapella tools which are super easy to mix and sound great over any jackin beats.

with a phenomenal 2008 almost at an end, man of the moment alan fitzpatrick has managed to find time between remixing john digweeds forthcoming bedrock single and reworking fegies anon record for one more roll of the 8 sided dice and conjure up two rip-roaring techno bombs

groovebox ep is filled with some class a material for the raunchy dancefloor. first up there is into the club. this track is typical for channel x: it will blow off the roof in the club! as the title of the track already suggests, this is another one of channel xs lengthy journeys into nightlife extravaganzas. a wonderful fidgety bassline and a loop filled with loads of soulful vocal samples from strong male leads to sensitive female souls, this tune is both deep, touchful and destroying. the chainsaw effect session in the middle paves the way for more stomping tech-house business. no time to recover from this, because on the flip its straight onto the floor with wake up: a loop thats made of trillions of little cut-up effects, vocal bits and some straight four to the floor business. after a playful beginning the tune moves into an hypnotic piece of trippy techno only to be converted into a restless party anthem for the Überpeak-time. sick! perhaps there is some time to chill with the last of the three tracks that is against the wall. here it becomes clear what channel x are best at: to create dark, hard and moving electronic music with that special ingredient that is soul. this track is a perfect example: some frightening effects, lots of reverb on the creepy samples, but such a wonderfully harmonic sample that seems to shed light at the end of the never-ending afterhour. if there is a message to this music, it would be: you need to look hard, but there is always love. once again label boss oliver koletzki has picked up these two very talented producers very early upon their career and it has paid off: in one release being better than the one before

after a wait of 15 years and numerous 12es, e s, random compilation tracks and remixes rude 66 has finally finished a full length album and dare we say it s his most cohesive work to date? sadistic tendencies begins where 2005 s three faces of fear ep ended, with 18 tracks that slide like snails on the edge of straight razors, exploring the dark side of the human condition. thematically connected, deep, dark and mind bendingly analogue, sadistic tendencies is both tense and full of release, sometimes brooding and encroaching at other times exploding into throbbing synth laden dance floor bombs. superlatives aside, sadistic tendencies works exceptionally well as an album and is one of those rare 70 minute journey s that can be enjoyed from beginning to end – like a good horror movie that scares the hell out of you, but keeps drawing you in.

amazing deep house record! supported by: rozzo, raresh, sebo k, akufen, laurent garnier, clive henry, federico molinari, brothers vibe, jimpster, motorcitysoul, d julz, manuel tur, solomun, nick curly, rob mello, chris carrier, chateau flight, livio & roby, afrilounge, shur-i-kan, jori hulkkonen, patrice baumel, sasse, david k, locodice, dan ghenacia, ripperton, clive henry, mathias kaden, 3 channels, johnny d ... here is the next installment in the hypercolour catalogue, it comes from detroit cat >kris wadsworth<, following on from his morris audio release. we are proud to present >deport this< - the title was a reference to an unfortunate event where kris was deported from the uk prior to performing at our party at the end!! here we have 3 tracks of raw detroit nu-house, put derrick carter, sneak and theo parrish in a washing machine and this is the sort of noise your machine would make!

the next big thing to come out of denmark! exclaims trentemoller and he should know as he is the brains behind this album. beautiful music and vocals with a dark and eerie sound. pressed on 180 gram vinyl and comes in a full color gatefold sleeve.

back with another of their much loved eps - the knee deep guys dig deep to satisfy your dancefloors yet again courtesy of the french love ep. kicking off with >all night< a charged up bullet with hooky vocal loop and infectious synthy lick, >vibin< is exactly that - a stabby low end bassline powers on alongside the sweet warming melody whilst the whole groove builds and builds leading to the chant-fuelled breakdown. rounding things off, >sweet love< has that epic crowd pleasing vibe you will have come to expect from the kd guys… again its simplicity at its best using a hooky riff throughout, and allowing the groove to shine. a power-packed ep in 3 different flavours

sometime chicken lips collaborator and full time disco don stevie kotey keeps the momentum going on his longstanding and ever consistent imprint by going slightly off piste with the latest bearfunk 12inch. for my friends is the work of lusty zanzibar aka alex cordiner, cabaret voltaire fan and former holistic artist, and we re struggling to describe it effectively to be honest. its a simple concoction of fluttery synth riffs and fat bottom end, but has the sort of quirky melody that you just dont expect to hear in a noo disco record, or a house record for that matter. it is, however totally infectious, and destined to be one of bearfunks biggest of the year we reckon. solid mixes come from kotey and lusty himself, and all are dominated by the riff, as will your brain be after listening to this package a few times. beginning of the night, end of the night, all night, all aboard the wonky disco train to zanzibar

this massive track has now been remixed by steve rachmad and martin h! and what a package it is! it has been worth the wait for sure. no doubt. the way these two have tweaked and changed this anthem is really interesting. what came out of it in the end is more or less two new songs. two different forms. two new interpretations to absorb. wicked!.

not too late is norah jones highly anticipated third album. made up of 13 songs - all of which were written or co written by norah - the album was produced by lee alexander, norahs long time song writing partner/bass player. the album features distinct traces of dusty in memphis style southern soul, as well as the kind of sleepy, sultry vocals that have been ubiquitous in coffee houses all over the world since the release of her 20+ million selling 2002 debut album, come away with me.

played by loco dice, tom clark... a booty call. the title says it all, a call for all booties - big or small - to migrate to the dance floor. an orgy of percussion and low end rumble lift you from your head bobbing slump up against the wall and firmly plants you right in the sweet spot of the dance floor, where the rising energy hits a climax. there is a pause and then the most noticeable sound of the track hits: the booty call. one artist credited with invigorating the kindisch label, is the young frankfurt based producer daniel mehlhart, whose first (and hopefully not last) release, origami was a highlight of last summer. in his booty call remix, one can immediately hear his style thrust into the main groove of the track, injecting it with a heavier feel and bringing forth a whole slew of new effects and sounds including a hypnotizing african vocal. this marks a small milestone as the 20th release of the label.

third part of the series!!

you love her coz shes dead are a super electro trash duo / like digitalism meets crystal castles

energetic drum & bass double vinyl!!

first support comes from hell, pig & dan and tony rohr

nice price deal !!! nother pounding hybrid set of low-end killers here from hot-flush, kicking off with the tumbling rhythms and wobbling sublow of ?deep under? - its a track that teeters on the brink of breaks science throughout, keeping itself wrapped up in a relentless bass envelope despite the distractions brought on by constantly evolving skitters - mighty stuff. the rhodes-inflected breaks and bass clash of ?sparkle? offers time for reflection on the flip, borrowing a melodic underlay from some abandoned, dusty jazz-club somewhere strange, tugging you back underground with its careful arrangement if frequencies at the lowest end of the spectrum. righteous

tweaked monosynth lines and rich polyphonic pads are featured on most tracks, and single note patterns of various timbre often reinforce the grooves. the title track on the a-side is as simple as effective and the name relates to some of the percussion parts which reminded them of a rodent digging a hole in the ground. first on the b-side is >if i was a man<, a slow-down groover with a dark and funky atmosphere, inspired by barbara alcindor s abstract spoken words, becomes more and more twisted towards the end of the track. last but not least, >zig zag<, which is named after the wobbly monosynth phrase which is being tweaked throughout the tune. all tracks speak of sweet, riding rhythms and nights full of action. pure quality

adam beyers drumcode label has its ten year anniversary this year and there will be many releases as well as a massive compilation album project later in the year featuring brand new tracks from many of the label s key artists. one of the newest additions is the producer of this new release - tor lowkrantz or mighty thor as he is known. this 4 tracker again demonstrates the open musical policy of the label. the last hardcell release was a fine piece of work demonstrting influences from both hard and minimal techno sensibilities. this release focuses more on the harder end of the scale but still remains fresh with its almost old jeff mills and rob hood influences. all 4 tracks have a fat groove and are saturated with funk yet still pack serious punch in any set. another winner from drumcode

this year adam beyer s seminal drumcode label celebrates its 10th anniversary. to commemorate this there will be a wealth of material coming out this year as well as some special drumcode parties after the summer that will feature hardcell and grindviks amazing live act. this follows their live cd release from the end of last year. as part of this the gain series will now continue with more material from these 2 and this is the first 4 tracker to continue the series. the tracks themselves are a fresh and varied ranging from the hard synth driven anthem that is salt and the harder driving rhythm gate bay to the exceptionally subtle groove with deep chords that is plankton to the sublime fish tank with its clever building feel and uplifting pads

well, the summer festival season is near its end, time to bring you some of the raw stompers that youve been dancing to this season! greg notill and i will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger: if there ever was a famous movie quote to capture the pure essence of the friendly frenchmans track it would be this line from pulp fiction. fierce beats, frantic percussion and even some acid influences. this one has it all! motormorfoses eto and gab, the devistating duo from brazil are now operating from spain and though the name may have changed, the output remains the same. pure relentless beats and power! after opening their track with an electro type bassline and some nice broken beats, pure havoc kicks in soon as the beat drops. hardtrax half of the hardtrax vs. jackhamma liveact and the german bridge between hardtechno and hardcore techno. the dark force recordings co owner comes up with an intriguing brew of raw beats, precise positioned percussion and an 80s type of choir sound that will simply blast you away!dj ogi the torch holder of the croatian techno scene recently spawned us with numerous strong releases on labels such as submissions and cannibal society. we are pleased to say he maintains this line and even raises the bar a little by incorporating some oldschool elements. bet you cant control your feet when you hear this track

supported by: mark henning (soma), anthony collins (freak n chic), james priestley, sian (karmarouge), ptoile, daniela stickrofth , luciano esse (kailash), gavin herlihy (mood music) xpansul (minus),.. the sonotheque project was created at the end of 2005 by two producers david campanini and alexi dendias.they managed to create tracks with an experimental, obscure, sexy and spiritual feeling, remaining on that hype wave which is changing the fertile ground of techno and house. their style is a blend of digital and analogue sounds, groovy rythms and carefully researched melodies , with an aftertaste of jazz and funk….

nice price deal !!! kifsa recording artist and one half of ‘troubleman, bruno banner takes a rugged approach with his latest outing for cooler than cool london outfit centric. raw, throbbing synth cuts through the dancefloor, underpinned with an irresistible bottom end. defected stars ‘wipe the needle keep the groove, filtering it to great effect and with laurent garnier already championing this, centric have a big record on their hands. cutting edge house that is destroying floors across the board

sawtooth - lately this term appears quite often and not only in reviews for the new dapayk solo album „devil’s house“. with „acid pornofski“ he demonstrates that the tracks on his album do not mark the end of the story. wrapped in a single release with „right here with me“ and „how low“ on the a-side you can see dapayk’s true colors on the very b-side. and of course it’s a lot easier to do so on a single. like back in the best days of rave you hear the endless modulation of a monstrous acidbassline. everybody who has experienced one of dapayk’s live pas knows how sweaty these sets are about to end. and for the last few months „acid pornofski“ is neither seldom nor randomly the peak

zero cash is back, served in slices! dont say what you think comes at you with two different versions, both hot out the over. the main mix is straight ahead, bangin and dark for the peak hours and tends to make you very nervous. the alternate mix takes you down the dial to minimal/sci fi soundtrack land slathered over an intentionally thicker crust. both mixes are hot and heavy and not for the feint of heart. then in classic zero cash style he lightens stuff up for the b side with more than enough taking you on an electro journey remniscent of 80s cop shows and shoot em up video games. served in slices, get em while they re hot!!!

love and respect continues to grow in every corner of the dance world for the humble italian giant since his arrival in the uk at the end of 2007. phonat has now received plays from tong, jules, annie mac and annie nightingale onradio 1 along with strong support from the worlds dj elite as he continues to redefine electronic music.

the vinyl version of volbeats third album guitar gangsters & cadillac blood. be quick because the album is very limited...this new record is the follow up to the highly successful rock the rebel/metal the devil. guitar gangsters & cadillac blood features 14 new tracks, including a kitty wells cover in social distortion style.

limited to 500 copies, coloured vinyl !! one of detroits most respected names, mike huckaby serves up a floor burning epic with his s y n t h mix. it opens up with killer shards of metallic chords, coloured in deep analogue emotion until the last second when a kick nearly explodes and drops low end so sinister your heart may skip a beat. this well crafted array of tone could only come from mikes expert use of the legendary waldorf wave synthesizer, with his timeless rendition of juans classic this is destined to be legendary. after the smoke clears were transported into ambient territory with intrusions lengthy 18 minute ambient voyage. the textures fade into pantone colours before opening up into a silvery lo-fi sonic palette, a sort of slow motion metamorphosis you could only compare to the works of thomas köner or wolfgang voigts, gas project. this is love in lo-fi

stewart rowell & louis gaston are otherwise known as the streetlife djs with over 30 years turntable experience between them, and a blatant disregard for music genres! the rules are, there are no rules! they add samples, accapellas & sound fx to the equation. compliment that with some of the most cutting edge electronic dance and alternative and the result is something exciting and very refreshing. the pair lives in london, is resident at together and also plays at ministry of sound, renaissance, the end, chibuku shake shake, gatecrasher summer soundsystem, ibizas space, get loaded, gobal gathering etc. the track will be featured on the much expected kitsuné maison 6 compilation out in october with a club version on the b-side, this new tracks from the english superproducers is sure to be the falls dancefloor anthem

real house with a deep german twist that is the trademark of shak digital in 4 chicago styled grooves! beware the bottom end, it might just blow you away

itamar sagi from the be as one label really made a name for himself with his black gold track that was released earlier this year. inspired by the warmer and more emotional side of detroit techno he very much captured something real and true in that song which certaintly paid off in the end. here he has done something a bit different. not less good though. actually better. this is a record for those moments when you need to increase the pace but still wants to keep the soul. perfect!

incl gimikk aka daniel sanchez & e contact remix. support comes from shinedoe, robert hood, 2000 and one, layo & bushwaka. the final single taken from the pubahs forthcoming album >nuttin butt funk< (end of september 2008), this original song returns to the pubahs funk side oftheir music. featured is baby face fensta, who is recorded with the wu-tang clan, amy douglas, jagoff, and the latest pubahs addition mitch marcus aka lalin.

mikrowave geht in die vierte runde und mit remixer mark broom gewinnen sie auch diese ganz klar nach punkten !! ltd restock…

after remix by ben klock on drh018, check this new bomb from deeply rooted houses camp with big argys remixes ! feedback laurent garnier : >kerri is the maaan, this is brilliant as always !, luciano : bomb… big support, and big tune for this end summer vibes ... , chloe : excellent ep, i ll play it, big support ! , jerome sydenham : argy delivers yet another fine piece of deep tech excellence !, loco dice : argys legendary bonus beat, please send me a wave, thx ! djulz : bonus beat & detroit dub in my box, strong remixes , break 3000/dirt crew : the detroit dub has a great old school vibe ! solid stuff… will play !, franck roger : argy is the man, big fan of his work will play all versions for sure , matthew styles : will support ! nice work… , marlon d : slamming cut. will hit the dancefloor tuff , kiki : will play the 6:23 mix, thanks ! , shinedoe : funky shit ! thx , dj gregory : that shit is good , len faki : great remix package from argy ! will play it for sure ! , brendon moeller : quality big room stuff !, electric indigo : love the kerry chandler sound! and argy did very good work here , sebo k : the 6:23 mix and the dub are dope! , full support dj 3000 : nice nice record and the detroit mix is dope! & more

this brand new and long awaited follow up 12-inch single release by off the record is finally here! its been quite a while since their first release >robot gang ep< (sen-003) came out and took the dancefloors by storm. all the wait has been well worth though, as this talented duo is back on track with their trademark rough & raw drum sounds, killer breaks and bridges. such elements can be found directly from the starting track >tel aviv – japan<, which combines nicely minimalist techno / house sound architexture with simple, yet effective groove, and it grows humble and slowly to reach up its peak moment what goes like: splash! in ya face! there you have it! guaranteed to lighten up any dancefloors, it s dangerously explosive and has amazing flavour on the rocks! having said that, on demand producer and remixer ran shani (crosstown rebels, breastfed, cr2 records) was kind enough to contribute his absolutely fabulous and fantastic remix work of >in your mind< track. he pushed the track to the next level and came up with a truly club oriented pulsating dance track with extra crispy and tasty beats. rotating 360 degrees panorama effect on female vocals coming in as the track rolls further right after the break is surely enough to explode some minds on the dancefloors. watch this man out! perfect end to an extended play here is the only track offering a mini lovestory: >shes lost her mind> is a true and cold hearted, crucial story about a tech savvy clubgirl falling in love in a binary world full of zeros and ones, finding computers and turin machines sexually more attractive companions to better have fun with rather than getting accustomed to that old fashioned missionary position carried out by her human boyfriend. floating, dubby and rather melancholic, but definitely not a sad song! but one thing is for sure regarding that twisted story after all: someone has truly lost her mind somewhere along the way …

our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year..

with his new night called based on misunderstandings that he hosts in berlins famous club week end, alex barck delivers his personal vision of club music and invites friends that share the same djing philosophy. following the success of the club night, alex further developed his concept and decided to create a special 12inch series on sonar kollektiv. also named based on misunderstandings, this new collection should be regarded as a return to roots for every house dj. it is dedicated to hot club sound that takes you by surprise, gets you dancing without you even noticing it and that really needs to be played out loud now!

osbornes ruling came out on influential us label spectral sound earlier this year, and has been racking up some fantastic support already. an emotive piece of lush deep house, ruling is an unashamed throwback to the early halcyon days of chicago and new york house music. a perfect slice of deepness for the warmer months...shur i kan is becoming ever present on the nrk roster of late, hes one of our favourite brit producer/remixers, and he stays faithfull to the original mix of ruling here but drags it onto the dancefloor somewhat with some stronger beats and heavier bottom end. king britt, meanwhile, opts for a heady, darker pounding drum remix, with spacious chords and freeform jazz flicked riffs. a little scubambient mix is also included here...

question like techno three tracker

!!!!!!strictly limited to 500 copies!!!!!! together with stefan goldmanns debut cd the transitory state, macro releases a strictly limited box set containing five 7? records holding the electroacoustic album voices of the dead. with his releases for innervisions, perlon and macro stefan goldmann has been a key figure at the cutting edge of post minimal techno and the renewal of house music. this album is a distinctively different affair though, reaching far beyond the scope of dancefloor electronics. starting a trilogy of concept albums, stefan goldmann searches for the common root of all music in an electroacoustic setting. from this album turret is already renowned as the intro sequence of richie hawtins groundbreaking de9 transitions mix compilation and was also commissioned by the biblioteque nationale de france for the imeb phonoteque public collection. the artist explains: at first sight we recognise upfront elements like a melody or rhythmic pattern, which we associate with a certain piece or style of music, but there is tension between two notes, hard-to-define background information that at a closer look is found everywhere - within the music of coltrane and stravinsky, death metal and 9th century byzantine chants. if there is anything like a total, secret common ground, than its this information lurking in the background. these are the voices of the dead, the heritage of an endless line of ancestors brought forward through the centuries. i tried to make these elements audible as clearly as possible. really like this weird space ambient one. ive put katorga and izo already into my final scratch computer and have been playing them! (richie hawtin on voices of the dead) record release event at berghain / panorama bar berlin on september 4th, 2008, feat. ricardo villalobos, mika vainio (pan sonic) and ulrich schnauss (tbc).

marco shuttle returns to serialism to deliver 3 tracks of groovy and elegant techno. filled with nicely laid out percussive ambiences and dark but uplifting sounds, it reminds us of older cadenza releases with a story/groove that never ends and a latin feel that seduces the body. this one will surely make an important impact in the minimall circuit

short after the latest (develish) dapayk single mos ferry fields the dutch guy henk van zwol aka olene kadar again. his label debut >vakbekwaam< (mfp035) is still fresh and we do remember him playing his liveset on some of the spring-time mos ferry labelnights where he was soaked in sweat during his performance. all this established a solid relation between amsterdam and berlin, which is about to be expanded. the new release >paying billl< presents two new olene kadar masters. on the a-side theres >sarg wualb< taking the subject of >i-modulate-that-siren-until-everybody-gets-up-from-his-seat< to the next level. on the flip side called >betrokken< the young man proves that a track with extensive usage of edgy >frickelsound< elements doesnt have to end in a top-heavy electronica-piece, but can be directed to the floor, very straight forward and impulsive techno. these two tracks show once more what henk van zwol demands from his body and his consciousnes when playing live
