100% organic cotton . let us take you back, back in time, back to 1987... no not mooooondance, but detroit where a certain derrick may has just released -nude photo-. with his kind permission we ve reproduced centre label artwork from that fabled release for our latest collaboration with the legendary label that istransmat. art by mr alan oldham. this super ltd and one of 30 in this colour. get one before gone for good. a 1 colour chest print on an super-soft black heather organic cotton sweat, this design was made with love in detroit and printed in the uk.

the close of the disco-era was far from the end of patrick adams career. in the 1980s he would lend his creative genius to such notable acts as salt n pepa, keith sweat and carol lynn townes. in the 1990s he helmed recordings by eric b. & rakim, paul lekakis and morris day. but the focus here is on the years he spent with peter brown and p&p. years where he was at his creative zenith as an arranger, composer, and performer. this is patrick adams >best of p&p records<.

fresh from rocking croatia the boys are back & next up is an ep from the one and only greymatter - 3 killer tracks, all with that wolf music feel. rounded off with a remix from james welsh, this is bound to fly off the shelves.

featuring new recordings by developer and new upcoming artists nx1 & adriana lopez. a strong functional techno release focusing on driving hypnotic rhythms and funked out harder edge dub techno. this release was made for abandoned warehouse and sweat filled dirty club floors.

with the first single release of beijing rock, paul brcic (paul brtschitsch) brings a driving yet emotional production into the world of electronic sounds. an unmistakable, pulsating beat reminiscent of detroit-techno, smooth percussion, and a catchy bass line make up the songs foundation, immediately casting a bewitching spell and leaving no room for detours. carefully arranged samples from the 40s mould the centrepiece of the club bangers and move in perfect harmony with the full synth and fx sounds. without a doubt, paul brcic sets off a multifaceted sound explosion with a first look at the album beijing rock, scheduled for release in autumn 2012, always keeping one eye on production-technical details and the other on organic sound. beijing rock immediately invades the senses from the first measure, taking you along a journey outside of the clubs of this world and catapulting you just as quickly back to the sweat-inducing, wild nights. absolutely magnificent - paul brcic in his purest form. the b-side acid & camambert clatters as if on rails through the fields of sound and sets off one adrenaline rush after another with its clear basslines and consistently rising networks of beats. exquisite superstructures and effect dramaturgy breathe life into acid & camambert with an unbelievable energy and nearly acidic characteristics.

limited copies of material 011, 018 and 023 available in a nice salespack, featuring noidoi, butch, caie! & lagora, italoboyz and mihalis safras.

kyle geiger brings you his third installment on his imprint cubera in a quest to bridge some crucial gaps between house and techno constituents. this time, taking it a little deeper with the use of vocal work from vocalist stefanie jansen for the title track scream, weaving her voice in and out of a strong synth and percussion work out. in the second mix of the a-side, truncate lends his tough, stripped style for his remix of >scream<, providing a welcome contrast to the original. on the other side, >underneath< adjusts the eps sweat dial to 11 with its shit-losing, raw synth hook. the fact that this track even has a sweat dial that goes up to 11 should communicate something really special. the final track step brings more of an stabby, yet scaled back afterhours vibe to round things out, while still carrying enough critical mass to make things a little messy.

in italys deepest south, where summer sun is harsh and burns you at midday, sweat is real. you can smell, taste and feel it. it s cold sweat. from constant fear, that haunts people in the dusty streets like shadows. some say, its only paranoia. but you can t deny the kidnappings, the stick-ups and the killings. police is doomed to watch, hands cuffed, since the power lays in the hands of others. who are they? they are invisible. you can only see the bloodshed and the tears. and like everywhere else in the world: violence is always calling for more violence. this is the life of jack curtu. and his music takes you there. three slices, each unique in style, yet united by human rage, misery and desperation. senza via duscita - theres no way out! lux rec knows.

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.

faze action have never been comfortable with the nu disco tag, and in an age where its dominated by digitally designed and somewhat pedestrian in its tempo the lee brothers return with a dynamic live sound that sets them apart. freak for your love is the lead track from their forthcoming album information overload and straddles a sick dubbed out punk funk groove that brings to mind the sort of incessantly sweat inducing music dfa was releasing in the labels first few years. a pleasant new direction for faze action is explored further on the accompanying new wave disco dub mix that delves further into the realm of echo and delay over that strident groove. the mysterious st holds court on the flip with two rerubs that switch the emphasis up towards a throwback bumping 90s house flex without loosing the originals charm

heralding from a rock n roll and jazz background vaal is not aware of the strict rules that define & guard electronic music. therefore vaal is not afraid to break them. sourcing tracks and samples became an obsession: from this was born a compulsion to write, experiment & develop original music that could be equally human, equally electronic. vaal exists in the dark of the city: the secretive curtained room that you can never quite peer into, the dark pulsating dancefloors of the underground. vaal has nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears & sweat. vaal is electronic, & vaal is a baastard.

jack dixon, a london-based electronic artist draws influences from wolfgang voigt, mutant disco, autechre and tim hecker. quite an array of jumping off points and ones which are clearly evident throughout his intricate productions. his productions sound as much at home on a heaving, sweat-soaked, educated dance floor as they do on headphones in the sleepy urban half-light on the night bus home. from his earliest releases on brownswood, take, and silverback, jack has found love and support from amongst others mary anne hobbs, joy orbison, will saul, sinden and eats everything.

grinch presents a collection of deep productions with dark, spaced-out tone, for his first solo ep. the title track sets the mood with a minimal, devilish bouncing shimmer, that grows into a subby monster in no time. the vibe changes with pulling teeth dropping us into a spacious ambience, with ghost tones of varying frequencies. on the flip, genjutsu, a heart pumping rhythm with knife edge minimal percussion. the final tune, 1:45am is reminiscent of a dark sci-fi nightmare scene and followed by waking up in a terrifying, cold sweat. together the tracks teeter along the lines of techno with dubstep influences.

after investing all his sweat and blood into labelwork, mastering and his fellow artists for many years, thomas p. heckmann found the time and inspiration to get back to the studio for new music of his own for 2012. we start with this analogue beast named glitter and tand that is pure live recording and a bit of editing in the cockpit of the trope studio. wires and leads all over the place and leds blinking like mad, that?s how he likes it ! techno with no boundaries or categories and loads of knobs?

after the successful zenker brothers record, we continue with a solo record by dario zenker. it sounds like dario bought some healthy food, went to mcdonalds and i ate it there to provoke some marketing campaign against intensive livestock farming. we know for a fact that he has an unlimited love for good food, dirty old school hip hop, porn, broken beats and kung fu by the way. his flat on the 5th floor gets a lot of light during the summer and also heats up a lot. can you smellthe sweat? speaking of sweat, you should check out inner circles sweat. instead of a proper high 5, we would even give 6 for this one! oh what a bad way of trying to make some sense with the track title... but honestly give 6 is a hard one. well i guess its time to stop writing some weird shit and start listening...

label boss solomun delivers the soulful summernight jam -see you everyday alone-, that has a captivating bassline and a groove that makes you sweat. epic strings and sounds of thunder and rain are leading into deep breakdowns with a dark touch. although the track has a immediate effect the dancefloor, it will linger on in your head for a long time. stimmings contribution to this ep is -challenge the air- featuring the soft vocal and bass of david stoltzenberg. its a very atmospheric and intimate track. layered guitars and baselines combined with stimmings signature groove account for a warm organic mood. the echoing vocal phrases underline the floating structure which gives a hypnotic touch. although the track features a typical stimming sound and has enough power to entertain the dancefloor, its is definitely one of stimmings more personal and emotive works

onno is a highly dosed dancing pill, pop one and your rubber legs turn into those of fred astaire. his last release already proved that he knows how to make you put yo hands up in da air! now, heres his latest little treat >hablando loco ep< upon you number 048. the title track opens with some sweet vocals and then drills into your a1 memory banks with the spanish monolog from el commandante. on b2 hes quite content with the few words : >i like that beat<. but onno likes the repetetive use of vocals like a fitness trainer trying to squeeze that last drop of sweat out of you. gavin herlihy, who some of you know from cocoon, takes a subtler approach to the track with his remix that writhes in the scented oils that is house-deepness.

expect the unexpected they say and it should come as a surprise to many as we warmly welcome to the kompakt family one of americas most celebrated producers in dance music, john tejada! you are hard pressed not to have heard his music. whether on his own palette recordings, poker flat or plug research plus a fabric mix cd under his belt, its thanks to a steady stream of massive releases (think >mono on mono< and >sweat on the walls<) ...

for his premiere on treibstoff, diego extended his pallet and integrated several flavors of funk into his set-up, extending the well-lubricated machinery and producing brilliant results. this record is a loveletter and an indispensable tool for all those djs, that still take their job seriously. and who havent forgotten about their roots: the club. we all live off air, love... and sweat. comes with a download voucher!
supported by mark henning, gary martin, slam fra, laurent garnier, heiko laux, sascha dive, karotte, james holden, ame and many more.

a message from claude vonstroke: >sascha braemer has got the funk! i first heard him on the amazing thrill on kindisch which i charted in my top 3 tracks of 2008. after that i heard the even more amazing heinrichs and hirtenfeller album dark orbit, (my favorite album of 2009) on highgrade. i usually like to break new dirtybird artists but this time i had to go find this guy and beg him to make us something. sascha has got that tech-funk, caveman quality that is so elusive and hard for me to find as an a&r. and on this record you will hear why i went and found him. this is an absolute beast! both tracks are tried and tested club killers. truthfully, i cannot think of a better dance-floor record on dirtybird this year<

a pair of emo ballads that light the way from your darkened bedroom to the dancefloor, till the tears and sweat become one. for all vitalic fans .. emotionen auf vinyl

hoya:hoya are proud to present the debut release on our newly minted hoya:hoya imprint.
this 3 track 12 inch is strictly a residents affair, featuring 3 exclusive tracks from residents krystal klear, lone & head honcho illum sphere.

support from laurent garnier, sascha dive, reboot, ryan crosson, mr v, rocco, dj gregory, le loup, brothers vibe, djulz, james priestley, ralf gum, alex from tokyo, halo... here comes the new cross-over project from the master of french deep house, mr franck roger! lets go back to the roots of house with him, and when i say house, i mean real, true, phat old school house that comes right from the soul! franck as come up with his most sophisticated work ever, but youll be suprised because its completely spontaneus and elaborated at the same time. the first track is called loosing and believe me you wont get loose on that one, a very chunky and deep new york ride... the second is i wanna say, and franck means it really, its all about the dancefloor, with his futuristic vibe. and then comes heat, and boy you will sweat on that one, this is what we call the perfect definition of house music, between east coast, and west coast. real tone records is proud to start its sixth season with this wicked new project

a showcase of us & international artists and starting the show off is a fierce, pump action techno debut from uks abstract science sure to sweat that dancefloor. another generator debut is by sydney, australias andy rantzen itch-e and scratch-e with a soothing techno grooved love song entitled >the kiss<.
packaged in art by alan oldham, handnumbered.

pomelo release from 2000 by hi-lo - from downbeat/electro to techhouse with a nod to detroit. b-side track >i need a shower< is an extended loop.

everybody loves summer & house music, and of course so do we! these four tracks by our italian and spanish friends have already been hammered on various open air floors by the usual suspects, and especially marco effe s track chesley had people running up into the dj-booth trying to find out what it is. well, today we finally have the answer.
but also romano and luca, who both have made a name for themselves with releases on break new soil as well as various other imprints are showing why they are two of the keyplayers of modern house-music from italy. and last but not least danny serrano & hector coutu deliver a classic groove monster that will bring new boosts of energy to preparties, prime-time sets and after-hour dancefloors as well.

finally, the live virtuoso olene kadar is back again with release #4 on his homebase mos ferry! not only the really massive kick makes the a-side >deal< a true stomper, that might put a smile on every detroit fans face also a guy called gerald would be thrilled! kadar uses common sounds and styles to stack his own unconventional sound-building - his own >house<. driving is probably the adjective that can express most accurately what constitutes the eight and a half minutes track with its funky organ chords. the b-side >sot:2< contains an equally virtuoso ass-shaker. somewhere between industrial aesthetics of the reverberated snare and the indefinable squawking sound its elements combine into a multi-dimensional piece of >club therapy< full of extremes. the unity of groovy kick and bass constitutes a high contrast to the vast extending percussion that moves at times in dramatic and absurd dimensions. approaching the drop, the almost out of control snare rolls and percussion drown any crowd in their own sweat dripping from the ceiling.

huge bomb alert! bob goes ragga/hiphop with his new single >rock this party<. this track contains an extrapolation of the classic record >gonna make you sweat< (by c&c music factory). on the mike dollar man & big ali. lead vocals: naomi goulbourne.
