at this point you should know that am/tm is anthony mansfield and tal m. klein. this is their eighth record together. you should probably also know that anthony mansfield has another side project with nick chacona called ncam. in other words, anthony is a collaboratively promiscuous producer who likes to make music with his friends. back to acid is am/tm?s attempt to get the world from uptight and twitching to firmly crooked and messy. coveting a return to the halcyon days of tripped out people melting on the dancefloor and raves in the woods, comes this hard hitting trip with vocals by navid izadi. add sweeping 303s and crunchy 808s.. and well, what more could you ask for in a track called back to acid? on the b-side is an extended ncam remix which ups the bpms and attitude. its a family affair.

time to welcome ben sun to d.o.g with his incredible love momentum ep containing three tracks of the raw stuff to groove to. some may know ben sun from his previous releases on the brilliant voyeurhythm label, his own vinyl-only imprint distributed by clone which was established in 2009. others might have his remixes of reggie dokes on royal oak or deep space orchestra on boogie originals. whatever, this man is making serious waves right now and adds yet another feather in the collective cap of young antipodean producers making underground house music with their own unique and authentic approach.

diynamics new member duo hunter/game suprise with their first diynamic release. the two young boys from italy, emmanuele nicosia and martino bertola, bringing a really nice groove with them! its exactly the sound, diynamic stands for: deep basslines combined with groovy, harmonic vocals add up to the newest diynamic ep reckless lady. on their first visit to diynamics residency club, the ego in hamburg, hunter/game gave a first impression of the love and enthusiasm they have for their music. the first track >under< opens with a clear message: these boys really know what they are doing! driving hi-hats, a pumping, deep bassline and smooth vocals are giving this track a pretty nice groove. the second track on the ep boogie music sets apart from the other tracks. this cooperation with freakme is getting really funky! a beautiful vocal part, that is developing its full power in the first breake will make you move! with reckless lady, the third track on the ep, hunter/game made a perfect club tune. its again the nice combination of an accented, deep bassline, a repeating, catchy vocal and powering percussions that makes this track so nice. the ep ends with crazy enough, a melodic tune with epic vocals! all in all hunter/game proved their feeling for the special deep house sound, diynamic stands for and produced a great first ep.

we really dont know what they put into danish water, but somethings gotta be responsible for all that freeform talent pouring out of that country. think of whomadewho, jatoma, when saints go machine or kenton slash demon, all sharing a keen sense for structural complexity made accessible through emotion and pure boldness. these guys freed their minds a while ago, so the asses seemingly followed suit and now constantly demand to be shaken. with two of those acts already signed to kompakt and the other two being staff favorites since their first acoustic blurps, it was just a question of time until we would discover another totally unique producer from denmark. enters taragana pyjarama, a project whose music is as refined as it is chaotic, described by some as a fairytale with a bassline.
comes as double 10 inch vinyl, including cd-version of this release.

already supported by andy cato (groove armada), anthony collins, dop, joris voorn, mark fanciulli, riva starr, gavin herlihy, ray okpara and many many more. jordan peak is already a well known name for those in the know, with a string of fantastic releases on tsuba, one, morris/audio, saved, robsoul and area remote (phew!) jordan has ticked the boxes of all of our favourite labels here at klasse and its a pleasure to welcome him to the family for his own release.

toby deschamps under his alias jackbox, delivers a freaky minimal techno release for pick time and aftehours lovers. the three tracks set a straight groove with huge baseline, finely surrounded by synthetisers waves, ufo like, and by heavy home-made voices. those voices could make you think after dan bell or even a voice coming straight from somewhere out of the space in a science fiction movie. if you are a regular guest of the klub der visionär you know how it can be spacy on this kitchen floor. anyway, over there, you might have heard toby playing in the past years at his monthly party drop out or for other occasions.then, the tracks of this release are familiar to you as there are some classics from him he likes to play to get people in his music spiral. generaly it can last 12 hours! enjoy the trip.

mercury are on fire. already they are called the new swiss house mafia, with their brothers from round table knights (on made to play) they are working on a new, funky, heavy energetic kind of house music. here is mercurys third single on gomma. three deep jams. deeper then the last single. paris house 1998, and gospel percussion from the 20th century, if you know what we mean

>we can fill a stadium anywhere in the world. but can we still make music that means something to people?< (bono) monkey maffia can easily fill a club just about anywhere in the world. however, he is also looking to make music that means something to people. his debut was a search, and his second release fit right along with this theme. his competence of variations is a characteristic of the dj-dervish, yet he now exercises restraint and follows the right track. over there, three maffia lions roar monkeys coming home!

large music chicago! bastions of quality house, large music have joined forces with belfast based producer ric mcclelland aka scope for the release of his outstanding debut lp. as a special gift to sound purveyors everywhere, large music has released a vinyl only sampler featuring 4 of the stand out tracks from the album. laidback grooves such as i dont and the breakbeat fueled workout of >wont be long< bring a certain diversity to the mix, giving the album real depth. ric also stretches his musical muscles with the downtempo charmer >myles groove< and the 80s flavored >the drop<. seven reasons displays a breadth of sounds that make for an engaging and genuinely interesting listening experience.

we think everything we release on frijsfo is fresh. at the same time we believe it doesnt hurt to stay in touch with your roots, which is something buzzin10 does in a fascinating way. we cant tell you much about this young producer from east london, a publicity-shy individual whose music we first heard thanks to his older brother. but we do know he pieces together rhythms by sampling fragments from old tape packs – mainly garage nations late 90s recordings of some of the best djs of all time, including dj ez, karl tuff enuff brown, dj luck & mc neat, and ray hurley.
dj support so far comes from sully, desto, oslek, warlock, kingthing, resketch, rk and ltf (wifey ldn), cardopusher, valta, dusk & blackdown

karat welcomes a new band for the release n°47. we are happy to host some canadians again on the label. the mole, guillaume & the coutu-dumont, egg and eddie c have already represented this country for karat ! these guys from vancouver know how to make it right ! 3 massive tracks, « boomer » in a rough and fat pumpin style, with nice breakdowns and atmospheric landscapes, perfect for the club, nice for home, « full moon cycle », the depest piece of the record, doesnt need much precise words. its simply beautiful moody and elegant music, « house of business » is a nice groovin track with deliciously arranged with typical jazz elements, brass & keyboards, in a pure canadian cut-up house vein

roman flügel – third take. hot on the heels of >brian le bon< and the >desperate housemen ep<, the man like roman iv, soylent green and alter egos spectacled half supplies four tracks of heavenly proportions. ramona doesnt even know where to start with her eulogy, but at the start.

limited edition 10 inch picture disc release for rsd 2012, featuring the mael mix of >suedehead< and 2 previously unreleased live recordings by morrissey.

12 inch edit versions of a track youll know. one of those rare gems that comes along and stays in the box as a classic. one for the cooler floor.

martin brodins second single from the forthcoming album which is due for june 2012. it follows the successful badabing which featured diskjokke as remixer. strings attack is all about the strings for disco. ok,now you may think he gone all cheesy here, but that’s totally wrong.it still have the funkyness and groove it needs to be a full-fledged disco anthem in our ears. and we invited two of the most prolific producers out there to make this a rock solid release. switzerlands finest, headman (robi insinna), who we all know from his own relish label and releases on gomma. he turn the original to an uber-cool bass-laden track and makes it a bit more in-your-face to speak, while the original is a bit more freestyle. second out is spanish born ilya santana with his funky mellow take. its a perfect remix for those beach parties we all love.

keeping up their ethos of dancefloor >edits with the love left in< hmd bounce back on a1 with monster from their 3rd compilation. never before released as a 12 inch and much in demand from djs who have heard it in hmd sets, its a whole horse meat disco original track laid out underneath the original vocal acapella. playable peak time or at the end of the night its as deep as disco gets! on b1 a majestic and imperial take on a classic one more time the hmders push the way too short original track and lengthen it into a luscious, euphoric anthem. hmd take all responsibility for end of the night spontaneous dancefloor hug-ins. on b2 the boys have taken the squelchy synths of a real underground track and turned up the intensity that they felt seem to disapated in the original. keeping the vocals pretty much as they are including all the whoops and yelps that make the track so exciting hmd have stayed true to the original but have just given it the horse meat touch. a bit of added percusion and a whole lotta love.

as we all know, there is a first time for everything. in this case, its even a debut for both: the tensnake co-run label mirau and iron curtis.

from gui borattos latest album iii comes >this is not the end<, an indie minded track that convincingly demonstrates guis impressive skill set when it comes to emotional narratives embedded in a distinctively monumental context. like his timeless >beautiful life< and last years album highlight >destination: education< (already remixed to perfection by terranova and tale of us), >this is not the end< features the beautiful vocals of luciana villanova, who seems to know exactly what makes gui tick - which doesnt come as a surprise, as they are married – and possesses this rarest of all gifts, an unique voice that seems to address each listener personally. in his own 2012 mix featured here, gui doesnt so much concentrate on the originals tearjerking qualities (which were already fully formed), but streamlines the arrangement for ease of use on the floor of your choice, making the track even more refined and addictive. those of you looking for a slighty more adventurous approach will find their satisfaction with michael mayers rework on the flipside, where the source materials hypnotic qualities are brought to the fore, resulting in a masterful slice of catchy prime time psychedelica. with both mixes turning out to be instant classics, we can definitely confirm that this is not the end.

36 hours in. the lights are flickering and the sweat is pouring out of you like the thoughts that you re trying to write down, to get down the words, to put down the message, to translate all the ideas that keep appearing in your head. ideas like uninvited guests that keep showing up and refusing to leave. somewhere though, there s a truth in there. you know it because you saw it. you know it because you felt it. because when you knew that even though there were ten million reasons why you should go to bed now, why you should go to bed straight away. that you should put these silly things down and stop trying to create and just get some sleep already. that you should stop trying to wrestle the ideas in your subconscious down to the ground so you can actually capture and express them to others. but you persist.

black vinyl repress!!!
first part of the dekmantel anniversary series featuring two house tracks from juju & jordash and morphosis! to celebrate dekmantels five year anniversary, the amsterdam based label will release a compilation which features tracks from friends and artists who have performed at the successful dekmantel s parties. in a series of five eps the label presents the genres that they have become know for throughout the netherlands and beyond: quality house and techno in the tradition off all the good that came out of detroit and chicago when it comes to electronic music. both dutch and international producers are featured on this comprehensive compilation.

last step is an alias used by aaron funk, whom you may know as venetian snares. his new adventure is called >sleep< and - as the title suggests - it is a collection of compositions that funk recorded quite literally as he was falling asleep.

mark and stefan have been making noises for a long, long time. born in an storm way, way back, they have forgotten more than most people know about the art of making people move their bodies in strange ways - graduating from the psychonautic academy of vibrational arts with 2 lfos, a couple of vcfs and 3 vcos… when theyre not working in the studio on their new psychedelic project pulp disco & the outcasts, theyre getting up to all sorts of bad behavior in ibiza, france and their home in london and manchester. warehouse parties, dirty dive bars and seedy strip joints have all been seduced by their magic over the years, and this is where the duo feel most at home. the wrong side of the horizon is where they were born…and dark dub-discos are now their only refuge. so when the moon is full, hitch a ride with them into deep space...

marbert rocel spend most of their time looking out of the window and smoking. then they make music, someone draws for a while, and they soon go back to looking out of the window and making music. marbert rocel are twinkle-toed, and yet hardly tangible when you try to grasp them. they combine dance music with songs, songs with cookies and, in turn, cookies with dance music.therefore, marbert rocel spent a lot of time touring – playing gigs in germany, holland, italy, poland, indoors, outdoors, on the roof, in the cellar, in small groups, in front of many people, and in front of very many people.<it greatly influenced our music. this is the reason as to why we now make ballads at 130 bpm.< at a concert on enceladus in 2010, marbert rocel met martin kohlstedt. he seemed to fit perfectly to the band and behind the rhodes, thanks to his constant eight- armness and his tiger stripes.

hot on the heels of midlands placement ep, aus returns with a remix 12inch featuring lone & motor city drum ensemble. both producers deliver deep, melodic reinterpretations of the originals, with lone accentuating midlands signature sound (whilst flawlessly incorporating his own neon tinged atmospherics) and mcde dubbing out the original, pushing it into throbbing raw cuts territory. both producers are at the top of their game. lone is dominating 2012 with a residency at manchester hot-spot hoya:hoya, a full length dropping in may via r&s that will surely occupy the top of many year end lists, and remixes for radiohead, tensnake & underworld already under his belt. jazz enthusiast motor city drum ensembles sample-based raw cuts series made him a household name within the deep house scene and last years dj-kicks mix set him apart from the pack with its on point mixing and musical diversity. his notable november 2011 boiler room set is considered one of the finest, and is just another example of why mcde has been, and will remain to be, a musical force to be reckoned with. next up on aus will be an ep from bicep & friends with a remix from panoramabar resident steffi.

part 2/3! deep house – uh killer?! dear gorge just like we know him. hardly anyone puts so much energy into a yet so low key appearing track and this is what we love him for. gorge was a history witness for our biggest light installation and the most oppulent feast, as is his right. certified ass-shaking tune with a joyous organ going hand in hand with a female vocal. there is no more to say about this track as it speaks for itself. reminiscing igors 10 minute intro in combat gear at the treibgut deluxe. some push did jonas put into this few minute collaboration track with mz sunday luv. it has to be loud, it has to run – it has to take its place on this compilation. homebased in frankfurt jonas was so fond of hannover at a time that he almost moved north. but we could not afford the hotel room for such a long time. deep house making you get rid of your jacket and shake your hips together. get yourself a drink at the bar and head for the dancefloor. nicely smooth this track is driving you into the night. the only night we actually had champagne and still could all make it to the train to hamburg in the morning.

part 3/3! close your eyes and let go. born in hannover daso enchanted us with this track. it is constantly building up until sunrise. this is how we got to know daso when he was playing his first gig at a treibgut getting our guests up and going. in hannover this night is known as the topless-party-animals-night. not many are as familiar with the treibgut sound as mario aureo proving with this tune. a year ago it was all hands up at treibgut but know we set it free to be passionately celebrated at other parties. leave the orchestra in rehearsals – until they have finished we keep on celebrating to the deep bassline for the plane has just landed. moritz approached this tune verytooly. we just remember him setting up stage for the party, ordering pizza and watching football. frieder, our youngest member, never looses the concept of time and spaces but this track has so much atmosphere in it that you can imagine which cloud he is on. the track comes in easy-going leaving you floating to the end

the situation crew have paid their dues with some of the better disco edits to surface in recent times - a particularly slick and slippery revision of a quantic standard for disco deviance still gets rotation from those in the know. its nice to see the slightly elusive five valley crew return to the art of the twelve inch with something a bit more substantial in form of a new label situationism and some original material for the debut . barcelona is presented in three different danceable situations (geddit) with the disco version a particular highlight. the excellent psychemagik are also called on to remix the track in their own inimitable somewhere between house and disco style

the sccucci manucci label has done a fine job of handpicking artists on the rise for their releases to date, collaring the likes of casino times, francis inferno orchestra and toomydisco as well as the odd established name like jacques renault. the labels fourth release forza quattro is still grounded in the disco/house sensibility that has served them so well, though the presence of waze & oddysey demonstrates the sccucci a & r team are willing to deviate. the elusive us pair are in the midst of a hot patch right now with releases already burning on body work and southern fried and plenty more due over the coming months, so their presence here is a real coup. i cant hear you sounds vaguely like a extra bouncy cover of the classic rip groove and definitely ranks alongside their output to date. alongside this the white vinyl ep has tempo traversing contributions from fil lavin, sellouts and deadly sins, with the latters slow and chuggy -dont you know- a particular highlight
