toronto based noah pred brings back the funk with his clever brand of booty shakin swung out techno house. noahs style has gone through many stages of evolution of the years having recorded for a ton of different labels over the years from consigned, intrinsic, morris audio to his own imprint called thoughtless. this collection of tracks is by far is grooviest work to date definitely fitting bulls eye into the sound palette of cynosure recordings. lesser lights, remember the embers and all day long were all meant to fit together all having the same elements of what makes a great tech house ep. funky swinging drums, hip flexin bass and a blinding lead hook. noah achieves this with cunning style and brings the minimal funk back where it belongs …

ok … the sad truth is we have been searching for this dat close to 6 years since rabbit in the moons david christophere and san diego native sotero finished the project. both mixes were done around winter 95 / 96. despite excitement around the label at the time, eventually the tracks fell to the wayside under the age-old excuse of >figuring out what to do with them<. meanwhile, knowing a good thing when he heard it, three made a dat copy and cut some actetates to play out. they made their way around a good portion of the earth via himself, some friends and one west coast dj who boldly vowed to just put it out on his own --- off the slate --- if we didnt get our act together. fortunately he didnt, but neither did we because both david and three misplaced the dat copies and sotero never had one!

played and supported by: adam x, ben klock, samuli kemppi, dvs1, edit-select, norman nodge, oliver ho, perc, shifted, cio d or, max_m, lucy and more... m_rec ltd continues to ascend as one of the the most interesting labels in the techno scene. today s release sees giorgio gigli (prologue music, zooloft, electric deluxe, elettronica romana, etc.) sign two original tracks and a remix of one of the most important artists of the past few years: terence fixmer (electric deluxe, prologue music, etc.). together, their approach creates something special and unique. in its original track giorgio gigli delivers the best of its hypnotic and psychedelic techno. a great atmosphere, where the ambient pads meet the dark bass sound which made giorgio one of the most significant artists in the new techno scene. the side closes with an ambient session, a drone of pure electronic,dark synth, making the idea of the state of mind of his own individual unconscious.terence fixmers version is decidedly more rough, stripped of certain atmospheres, highlighting a more hypnotic and repetitive attitude. this rough sounds have for many years marked terence fixmer as an icon of the techno world. this is a great release of modern techno!

gutis name has been on everyones lips of late. his collaboration with dubshape -every cow has a bird- was championed by pretty much every house jock on the planet and his recent debut album on loco dices desolat received widespread acclaim. now hes teamed up with luca bacchetti - who has built up a solid reputation with releases on imprints on labels such as ovum recordings, wagon repair, supernature and be as one - for their first collaborative release. the esa nena quiere ep contains two sizzling slices of latin-flavoured loveliness, both of which are instilled with an appropriately warm blaze of summer sunshine. both extremely creative and massively complimentary of one another, this is a collaboration that looks likely to blossom in the future, but for now we caught up with them both to discuss the eps origins, their studio time together, and where exactly where the record is best enjoyed

it took a while but we finally got this great remix ep together from catz n dogz escape from zoo album. tanner ross flexes his e-funk biceps and shows us that just a little bit goes a long way with huge bass and sparse vox. this remix goes against the grain the right way, showing restraint and power at the same time. the main man of detroit, carl craig also delivers a sparse and beautiful mix, 1st giving us a lesson in how to properly tweak the space echo and then bringing it back with classic strings and subs. both mixes are getting major support from all across the globe from sebo k to troy pierce to ewan pearson to martyn to l-vis 1990 to james zabiela - overall probably the best feedback we had in a while on a record to be honest.. all great for our kids at the detroit youth foundation where the mothership label donates 100% of profits! also, special thanks to matt colton at air studios, london for donating a mastering session for free to cut this record and support our school.

the last release before we hit the big five-0 here is samuel dan who had previously released together with darlyn vlys on our sub label sweet & sour. he has also shown his face on syncopat, dirty bird und off recordings. with the title track >i hear voices< samuel leans out from the dj booth and gives the vjs something ravey to trigger an emotional parade ... while he hears voices, we see stars. >on the dancefloor< and >do it baby< take us to the next level of this olympic exercise!

next eklektisch anthem. edu imbernon & los suruba pres number 5. punset sees the trio in full-on-goosepimple-enducing mood. each copy of the record should include the instructions - one to be taken, at sunset or sunrise for heightened effect. the boys have encapsulated the finest of balearic moods and brought them to the dancefloor once again. the deep throb of the progressive bassline, whilst allowing the track to breathe, has enough power to drive the track. the fluid sounds in the breaks, together with its simple piano riff and bell chimes, bring us down before the synth melody and weighty bass shoot us to the stratosphere on a wave of smiles... on remix duty is none other than hamburgs finest and diynamic music head honcho, solomun. turning punset on its head, yet maintaining its epic feel, the german produce

the second serving from schmorgasbord brings together two relatively disparate and unrelated artists, but who both share a uniquely twisted approach to making music. s-max has been doing his thing for some time, running legendary home all things bizarre in house and techno, boogizm, and releasing a special kind of groove on labels such as telegraph, 7th city and karloff. his original track, >ms. rosen dub<, swaggers and sways with the spirit of classic yorkshire bleeps and bass. the groove is house, but the spirit of adventure is most definitely techno. his remix of spatials >corti< takes a very different approach, taking a rolling, jungle-like approach to dubstep and nailing it to the groove with stabbing bass notes. spatial leapt onto the bass music radar late 2008 with his shadowy infrasonics imprint, and quickly snapped heads with his crisp, refined approach to 2-step rhythms. since then he’s done things on his own terms, only releasing for himself and mutating his sound over a series of 10 inches. >corti< perfectly demonstrates spatials unconventional tendencies, lurching and buckling around a perfectly honed splatter of beats, off-centre synths and delirious vocal snippets. meanwhile on his remix of s-max, spatial flips the script once again with a stomping, swung techno angle that hammers the original into an uptempo, fist-pumping banger.

released as a 2 x 12 inch with the full length 11 track cd album shrink-wrapped. the vinyl features 4 brand new remixess from the album.this album represents the peak so far of the lads technical skills, its carefully produced from start to finish. tracks are frequently tied together, and a lot of thought has gone into the flow of the album. this is one that can be listened too from beginning to end, as opposed to a collection of singles. however that doesnt mean that state of mind have forgotten about the 3am raver. almost all of the tracks have all been smashing it up world wide over the last 6 months in their own right. collaboration wise, the album features several of nzs most talented vocalists including shapeshifters p.digsss, thomas oliver, sacha vee, mc woody & pnc, as well as american singer 3pm. the only production collaborators are nymfo and dnme. several other collaborations were planned for the lp, but in the end were unable to fit. these will be released as bonus tracks.

miles whittaker has been an integral part of the modern love label since its inception in 2002 - as one half of both pendle coven and demdike stare, as well as his own productions under the mlz and millie monikers. after almost 15 years writing music, this is the first release miles is putting out under his own name and marks a turning point of sorts in his production style, or rather, in its sequencing. the facets ep brings together different ends of his production style, unifying elements of the house and techno he s most commonly released as mlz together with the more broken production signatures usually reserved for millie and the darkened tribalism of demdike stare. flawed opens the set with a linn loop from the archives, stretched and slowed down with an intoxicated aesthetic that s somewhere between house and dub, before lustre re-configures source material originally keyed in by labelmate andy stott with a nice line in squashed percussion. primer on the flip extends from a demdike stare outtake and veers off into an analogue drum machine workout, before on the fly ends the set with a recording made straight to mixing desk from an array of mis-wired and malfunctioning drum boxes, contact microphones and samplers, over at his studio the mill earlier this year.

the second release on the forefront label is the pyramids ep from teenager nkc. the pyramids ep follows up on his debut release on awkward movements unleashing four tracks built for the dancefloor. the release has been gaining widespread support from the likes of bok bok, lil silva, marcus nasty & hard house banton along the way. >partisan efforts< kicks off the ep with carnival vibes, combining a jacking uk funky skeleton with uplifting pads and vocal samples. meanwhile >the pyramids< follows up on a tougher tip bringing together booming sub bass with rolling snares for maximum dancefloor impact. the b-side leads with the heavyweight >sellout< which brings laser-like stabs and uk funky drums together to create a powerful track thats surefire rave material. >untitled< completes the release with rolling percussion on a four to the floor backdrop combined with reverberating, percussive synths.

the three tracker gets off with a lovely post basic channel, dub techno interpretation of a techno track for the warmer days. the b side does a great job in fusing soft beats and low key melodies with raw structure,drive and pressure. plangent records slowly becomes the face for the otherside of berlin techno together with a label such as giegling. gritty deep techno, with some influences from dubstep here and there... slowly moving away from the much abused detroit reference. definitely worth the listen!

evil activities returns and delivers a massive collaboration together with endymion on the legendary neophyte records label. result is the track >broken< featuring dutch rap legend e-life. >broken< is a track with anthem-like depth and features an extensive chorus. expect melodies which could only be devised by these acts completed by a powerfull bassline to top it off. the flipside features >changed the game<, an energetic banger guaranteed to fill all dancefloors.

captivating melodies, dreamy pads and strings that evoke an encouraging future open and yet to be explored. this is >renaissance< the new release presented in mini lp format 12 inch and signed by the transhumans, arcanoid and ebe-1, a member of sowing paranoia. techno, electro and idm together in perfect harmony. th003 is the last release of this trilogy. it ends with a clear and positive message, reviewing the past to try to build tomorrow and look to the future

youandewans utterly spellbinding and unutterably lovely >1988< is given the remix treatment by one of the few artists with a delicate enough touch to handle it with the care it deserves. jimpster teases in a beautifully soft synth hook from the outset followed by the heavenly keys of the original before bringing the entire mix together with a gently bubbling bassline. pure summer bliss.

the fried tofu crew follow up their excellent first course with another tasty selection! on the a-side sweet soulful voices catch you from the first try on. but dont be hasty, or you will burn your tongue. this is hot and far from being a dessert. after the first impression of sweetness, you will feel the spicy taste coming through. we all love that slight burning on the lips, making you really feel the feel. the first cut on the b-side digs even deeper into sweetness. somehow everything seems to be so lovely, each time this one is played out. its clear that even the ruff guys cant resist the taste of honey. real sweet and spicy, thats how its got to be. things are straightened out on the final cut, which finishes off the meal with a raw funk jam. the extended guitar groove gets back to the basics. sometimes few essential things, combined in the right way, can be all you need. a typical mistake when preparing a meal is to add too many different spices.

played by dubfire, richie hawtin, stephan bodzin, monika kruse, popof, carlo lio and many more

after a long break cécille numbers comes back with a great 4 tracker from alex celler. after huge tunes like >caedmoon loop< and >a sin< together with his friend anthea, alex goes for his first record by himself on cécille. on the a side you find >blue vaudeville< a great emotional dancefloor track with an awesome catching groove, together with shonkys perfect summer anthem interpretation of this tune you have two different strong heaters for the hot summer. on the flip you find the cool clubbing monster >dawn in the jungle< with an unforgettable hookline plus >eccosaise< which shakes every ass on your dancefloor

hallucination limited delivers a limited edition vinyl only release from none other than fellow new yorker… zev of wolf + lamb. gathered here are zevs strongest outings for the club since the brilliant >forget the world feat. beckford<. we dare say this is his best work to date with >queen of hearts< being one of the freshest takes we have heard on good ole house music this year. pushing all the right buttons, but also some most would never think to. queen of hearts feat. panu moon the initial groove instantly does what all great house does, but what follows are the contemplative vocals of a showman on the road via panu moons soft country drawl… playfully tweaked by zev adding an edge without taking away from panus croon. an unexpected techno vibe begins to ebb and flow over the groove yet it all magically stays together through the voice of a man searching for the queen of his heart. its house music with both an edge and sense of humor not unlike paperclip people, but in a vein more akin to >every now and then< by ralph falcon

in denmark, there rages a lively and experimental techno scene - and its not only a recent phenomenon. the best proof are phono and kemi, two danish imports to the berlin record label, highgrade records. the two chaps complement each other in a musically virtuoso fashion: phono, jacob thiessen, spent his childhood playing around with sequencers and drum machines: over the years he has stuck to this passion and as such, has developed a reputation as an experienced house and techno producer. kim kemi, by contrast, has been a dj since the beginning, and since the 90s has been one of the key figures in the copenhagen club scene. together they have not only performed regularly at the biggest events in denmarks capital, but have also ensured through their many releases, ever changing accents and atmospheres on the turntables. this wealth of combined musical experience can be heard instantly on their latest outing for highgrade – >decompose<. the three tracks, >decompose<, >exterminators< & >last night< assemble rhythms that come from punk, elegant voices and dizzying loops a multi-layered sound excursion. the result is a perfectly produced ep, but one that has not been ironed smooth. with the >made in denmark< seal of quality, phono and kemi bring some extra depth to the party attitude

we are happy to have a follow up of m.in on trapez ltd in collaboration with his fellow mate jonas fahz. the duo has released together already under their pseudonym of mucky pups on the trapez ltd 100 anniversary compilation in may. their a-side welcome to my house features again a jack track, produced and written this time by a whole team including: m.in, jonas fahz, peter eilmers and featuring nick maurer on vocals. bringing together old school and new school this was also the idea with m.in s debut a-side track teach me house . welcome to my house instead has more of a live jammed attitude to it... in this respect it is meaner, rougher and tougher as the predecessor! the alienated and twisted voice of nick maurer adds a psychedelic feeling that keeps you making funny faces to yourself . delgardo has been a long time favourite of m.in and jonas, it is an approved dance floor track, and indeed a slow moving... but funky rocker. fuelled by vocal snippets and fx sounds... the beat goes non stop beat non stop ! elephant blues is the favourite track of m.in and a bit of a mad and deadpan track. fitting very well to the actual chart breaking tunes that spread like a virus in the underground scene, this could be the most modern of the three tracks. equipped with a strong drive, whipping its percussion line into oblivion it is a sexy track. the original 3 tracks are Êsupported by alex piccini with a cool post detroit remix of welcome to my house and well as heartik who has speeded up elephant blues turning it into a cool techno- rush of a track.

following the legendary first two, stoically super minimal records >sog 1< and >sog 2< that provide ecstasy disguised as boredom on kompakt extra/speicher in 2007, and the outstanding beautifully bizarre >sog - abweichung< on profan in 2010, we are now listening to >fremde hÄnde<. like its predecessors, this sog stands in the tradition of >the art of omission< with wolfgang voigt variegating his preference for the bluntly straightforward quaver bass in two different forms. the a-side contains a tonally noncommittal sequence ambling across the keyboard in quantised form, reminiscing of the arpeggiator (accompaniment function) function of early 70ies and 80ies synthesizers. on the b-side, daring and thoroughly unquantised quaver rhythms rock around a bass drum that, as the only straight element, tries to keep the whole thing together. the result sounds a little like a delirious can live.

another stunning 4 track ep , techno and techhouse with full of party pleasure

new label by third ear records and what a cool first release!!! groovemental is bringing explosive jazz versions of two classic dance tracks! side x: dumb machines version of theo parrish,s falling up is based on the carl craig version of the track rather than the version recorded by theo. one of the biggest house tracks of the 2000s and a recognised classic. dumb machines have introduced words. the word falling is intoned throughout the track and the second stanza from louis macneice,s poem snow is recited. side y: written by tori amos. dumb machine,s version is based on the armand van helden remix. he created an irresistible dance groove, selected a few choice vocal samples, which became part of the clubbers lexicon, to create one of the biggest dance records of the 90s. dumb machines have gone back to tori amos lyric, taken various lines from the lyric and cut and pasted them together. two very inspiring jazz tracks for the house and techno generation, and for everyone else too of course! been on high rotation since we got it in stock!! recommende

like the feathery namesakes from the animal world, rss discos song >lovebird< is a social and affectionate creature. meticulously handcrafted in sprawling sessions together with hamburg live-techno duo sugarwater and remixed by friends (christopher rau / smallville, pampa) & family (achim maerz / freund der familie, dérive), itll be your summer love. the song breathes temperament from down below: the bass line is pure warmth only to be matched by meandering melodies and blissed out chords. gorgeous gold on black screen print makes a sweet start for hamburg based label mireia – cuckoo to you!

pattern select aka milton jackson and show-b have gone well and truly back to the raw on this, their first collaborative work together and debut ep for delusions of grandeur. both producers have been busy on some top quality projects just recently with milton jackson remixing recloose for planet e and show b producing for robert owens on compost. the pair met at a party in munich, promptly fell in love, and soon enough pattern select was born. kicking off tale of the tape sees the pair go deep n dark on this low-slung groove where demonic laughter rides the driving hats and insesant crashes until the filtering arpeggiated synth line joins the fun. tale of the dub gives us a stripped back, dub-infused version which goes a little lighter on the craziness of the first version but without losing any of the deep, hypnotic funk.

next up on deep vibes comes sascha dive with his killer remixes of matthew dears >little people (black city)<. originally released on spectral sound (spc 101) as a digital-only package a vinyl edition had to follow due to public demand. for maximum sound quality the 20 minute version got shortened to a 15 minute >vinyl cut< (a1), while the >dub remix< comes in its original form on the flip-side (b1). sascha dive and matthew dear met on the road a few years back. in 2008 matthew dear featured a remix by the deep vibes boss on his watergate mix-compliation. when they played together in munich in august 2010 dear asked dive, if he wanted to do a remix for his upcoming album. the only condition dear asked him for was that it had to be the wildest and most crazy remix that dive could possibly do. little people (black city) is the probably strongest song of matthew dears recently released album black city. sascha dives remixes are on heavy rotation and played by a wide range of djs. make sure you get this joint in the box!

strike a pose! the fruit of the first labours of the third side (marieu, steffi, lucretio) with nd_baumecker is breathtaking and bewitching. the two gems on this 12 inch are recorded live in a single and unique take on a quarter inch tape during a moist afternoon at the beginning of the spring. this is a sound of passion and devotion. >retro vogue< is a dancefloor smasher with hooks and beats from the streets, that come from the past but that have been technologically reworked with artisans skills in a glamorous phrasing. >burning< is an house anthem that discloses, beneath his shining surface, all the darkest inspiration of this crew, from chicago, to berlin, via detroit. funky percussions and seductive synthesizers merge together in a blaze of radiance

cascabel gentz is an ambitious side project of two producers who are always on the run - los angeles resident apendics.shuffle and dilo from buenos aires. since 2009 they get together in the studio and create an individual mix of house, techno and minimal spiced with their own vocals and guitar riffs. this very personal and organic mood reflects on the new record >electric high<. the original tracks are complemented by an excessive remix collection. gurtz and alejandro mosso play their part to make this ep a prime example for todays music culture network.

the -makeovers- project is a compilation of some of claudes best re-twists, some of which are so far removed they can almost be considered original works. this special edition vinyl includes one of the most sought after remixes, -warpaint- originally by pocket 808 in australia, vonstroke turned this into a late night anthem in 2007. played by techno djs, dubstep djs, and everyone in between this track was never cut to vinyl until now. on the flip side claude remixed the nublu orchestra out of new york. he was never completely happy with the original version of the remix and hes gone back and re-made it into a very special piece of music including a new vocal sample from his wife aundy who also did the vocal effects in whos afraid of detroit? this collection was put together with the theme that a remix can be an inspiring starting point for an entirely new piece of music. these are two of the deeper and darker remixes but we think you agree they are also very special.

after his last ep on stil vor talent in 2009, born-and-bread berliner sascha braemer is now back with three fresh tracks for the spring of 2011. in the meantime, his funky minimal jump-up tech-house has led him to release on labels as prolific as kindisch or dirtybird. things kick off with >belle<, a ferocious attack on your groove muscles and dancing bones. this tune glides as softly as the wings of an angel while shaking you around like a giant would a dwarf. the up-beat groove is based on a great cut-up vocal sample and some animating synthesizer stabs. sweet! then, >felicitous<, which is considerably slower than the previous two tracks. still, the vocal on this one and the deep electronic body come together perfectly to form a deep and dirty suckerpunch to your euphoria synapses. last up is >people< keeps the effected vocal approach and that really makes this tune. imagine a super deep bassline, some wonderfully syncopated hi-hat trickles and a constant groove to underline the power of the vocal. this track is club pop - so deep and yet so magic it will run shivers down your spine on the breakdown. sascha braemer seems to have put all his experience of peak-time club moments to early morning afterhour visions into his own transcript of signature sound. this is not be mistaken, this is simply on-point
