sd records keeps them fine tunes coming, this time with the long awaited debut of roswell return. on the a-side the title track iftodex c0001 which can be best described as deep space acid: a long and trippy beatless track that keeps evolving around a powerful acid line and deep strings, which sound like a journey through space past bright shining stars and fast pulsating white dwarfs. on the b-side you will find the sd remix by syncom data, who hardly need any introduction, and they have turned the original into an irresistible, deep and warm dancefloor smasher in the best detroit tradition.

part 1 of the new double-release from tiefschwarz aims at the heart of house music: soul. “on&on” is a first-class arranged club track. starting off with a wonderful mellow theme, that is adumbrated by the bass line in an one-and-a-half minute long exposition. the track ups the tempo with an additional hi-hat resolving into a shuffle beat. in double time, we move on towards the first break. here an edgy, minor key-chord sequence is introduced, making it obvious for everyone, that this track is gonna take off. eventually the keys function as a counterpoint to the classic bass line. a four-to-the-floor “on&on” vocal sample takes over after the break, adding another percussive aspect. as the track goes on a mulitiplicity of side elements sets in - no room for tediousness! in the end the “on&on” vocals resolve into “it’s so simple… . who knows, but this could be a broad hint to all the tech-house academics out there. no matter what, this grande finale raises a smile from every last sweaty soul on the dancefloor. with “best inn” on the b-side tiefschwarz create a dance classic, dressed in 2009 fashion. reminiscent of long gone nu-groove times, a traditional house beat - including a tiny off-beat tinker bell - blasts out of the speakers. a slured synth-organ provides the track with that certain edgyness. here, the brothers keep it laid-back yet exciting at the same time. this piece goes on and on and on - and you yourself run alongside, not wanting to pause. but watch out! at the latest in the second break, tiefschwarz put nostalgia to the test via some shockingly muffled metal drums. one of these moments, where you wish yourself back into the middle of an eight-hour deep-house set in 1992. the train departs. one thrillingly beautiful landscape after another runs by, until the warm sun strokes of the south suddenly rouse you out of slumber. arrived

classic house cuts from the magnificent kerri chandler. >never knew her< and >behold the sun< are two new tracks taken from kerris lp >trionisphere<. >never…< features kerri on lead vocals while the track is a breath of soulful, spiritual feeling and old school >kaoz< sounding bass and instrumentation. >behold..< features kt brooks on vocals and offers up the same impeccably styled production and soulfulness that weve come to expect from kerri. hot

finally here is the soulphiction album in special limited edition of only 500 (!) vinyls with special gatefold cover and heavy packaging!

back in stock !!! a fine ep by one of the original practitioners of the detroit dj style, now emerging as an accomplished producer, having been tutored as a teenager in the art of the dj by detroits celebrated ken collier in the early 1980s. delano here delivers pure detroit bliss with that intimate vibe that holds the listener and dancer with a compelling groove that seems to have minimal momentum but never misses a beat. we gave this collection of four sublime detroit minimal house tracks the name sunrise ep, because we can imagine dancing to these tracks at 7am with the sun coming up

including kidda >under the sun< (hervé s ain t no sunshine mix), herve & kissy sell out >rikkalicious< (club mix) and dada life >rubber band boogie<

another gem from studio apartments the rising sun album! comes with two strong quentin harris remixes.

berlin-based belgian producers sierra sam & marcus vector present the debut release of d.i.y. (dumb irresponsible youth), their new house-oriented project. sierra sam (toysforboys, einmaleins, trapez) and marcus vector (toysforboys, nomor, playground) recently released their first joint effort for contexterrior. working together once again, this time around theyve put aside their usual dark techno inclinations, opting instead for uninhibited house led by analog percussion sounds. drumroll, please… >pimp my saw< is a frenzy layers and layers of toms, kicks, steeldrums and clicks. >screw it up< is a more melodic affair, with the classic build-up and tension that defines classic house material, plus a hint of latino finesse. on the flip, >hammer of love< closes things out with a shuffly balance between the organic and the artificial, with looming atmospheric ambience to set a darker tone. these three tracks are the perfect tools to use where the sun dont shine. (that would be the nightclub, you pervert!)

repress, 4 classic jeff mills tracks

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.

arctic monkeys were already massive way before they inked a deal with domino in june 2005. people obsessing over the songs? sold out gigs full of stage diving nutcases. hardcore fans pressed up against venue windows, just hoping to catch a glimpse such checkpoints have all been ticked. the boys may share a love of the smiths, the clash and the jam, but in no way were the monkeys ready to simply regurgitate the well trodden brit rock path.

not another promo text!?!? we find that all of the music produced by harry axt speaks volumes, therefore we simply (and happily!) offer you these two new tracks. it s worth mentioning that this is the last ep from harry axt before his album release in october on rompecabeza music. the whole summer he will indulge in a production break, so that he may doze in the sun, test every type of beer possible, demolish enormous amounts of grilled meat and danish ice cream, and then completely concentrate this replenished creativity on his debut album. then, while the sun fades away for another season, he will let the sunshine back into our ears…

mn2s prepare for another wmc anthem by presenting this collaboration with danism and true soul diva kathy brown. light up my life has classic written it all over, making full use of kathys soaring vocals this powerful performance is sure to make more than waves at this years wmc. kathy brown, one of house musics true divas, has worked with the cream of the house music crop. arguably her biggest hit in recent times was the international smash, strings of life (stronger on my own), produced by award winning production duo soul central. her powerful performance in light up my life ensures that the track will be hammered in the miami sun this year. whilst the original mix features those unmistakable danism beats and kathy browns beautiful voice the audiowhores dub presents pounding drums and is a much darker, main room mix. in contrast to this dj la roi delivers a much more garage inspired, sweeter take on the soulful classic. following up the success of commended releases such as truth is, mesmerise and most recently feelin you danism drop yet another scorcher on mn2s.

hinode’ is a tribute and farewell to our favourite club, yellow in tokyo. we’ve played some great gigs there, six or seven hours in the dark with eight hundred people and one strobe light – perfection. endless saki in the bar, obligatory stalkers (“93!” and hedgehog girl step forward please), smoke and heat on the dance floor. finally emerging deafened and sun blinded into the brilliance of saturday mid-morning in tokyo… backing up the original is an exceptional remix from our favourite techno genius - fergie.

well what is there to say...? the two original packages of this is not a follow up are being played by everyone under the sun. both the previous gourmet and the brique rouge releases pack a serious punch with remixes from main room heavy weights like mason, silicone soul and tommy four seven. it came to our attention by one mr. clive henry that it would be nice to have some deep remixes released.

nice price deal !!! noir presents black magik with fuck me on just for fun recordings could quite easily be billed as porno house, as its clear that the new wave of danish dance is not only aiming at the alternate dance market, but could well be playing a starring role before the sun rises on another summer season.
