if zox was a sculptor, his works would be angled and polished, simple and magically effective. no sound on this record (which is called >more fluff<, which astonishes me) hangs around too long between the acrylic clear beats, the square waves are bellied and cold as vodka from an iceberg, the higher frequencies refreshingly cool as hills in the highlands, and straight lines are the dominating theme by far. this is dance music in itself. the basses live in rich bounteousness which is strictly controlled, though. why boom it when you can bang it? perfect shapes, functional beauty and a refreshing taste will rock you.

the long a-side is reserved for bülent gürler and his project bee-low. >the hidden noise< is a neo-detroit-screw of the plus 8-hawtin school in a very popular plank of the minimal-rave. a track like evolution. antonelli digs, as >random aficionado<, a handful of melodies deep under a rave that is hardly recognizable as such one. he removed the snare completely in favor of a more effective feeling of the song. that s the way deep-house should sound and the way you always imagined it. no frowst, no references, just clear warm water. martin hirsch, alias deer, lived in devon (uk) for a long time and was an immediate neighbor of lee norris, also known as norken or metamatics. recently, the two of them have revived the connaisseur label neo ouija and that will surely do good for the cultural environment. and they have decided to start a long-ranging cooperation in terms of producing records. an outcome is >beyond the breeze<, a piece of house music whose title couldn t be more precise... sasse, giles smith, jeff milligan, laurent garnier

balkon number 009 is the first part of the long waited compilation called: we are not detroit. we are destroyed. it includes tracks by balkon artist and friends like the first track which is a cooperation between matt star and berovic&leicher. 3 fold mode is a clear tool which shows the more techno side of balkon, the same for newcomer ben hoffmann who is putting out his first release with >dunkelrotes flimmern<. the b side of the ep starts with a track by davor o., also young and really talented producer. last but not least the labelboss popnebo takes out some chords to honor his street a track called florida blanca. lets say the compilation tries to give a review of techno and house music which is focused definetly on moving the parts in your body below your belt

in the a side, undo & vicknoise, the masterminds of the label deliver their most tense and baroque track ever. to the simple kick-snare of the beginning they add progressively a distorted and powerful bassline, and omnipresent xylophone and some sub-aquatic melodies factor city school that will give you the creeps. sistema and his other self in full-moon nights, show in >te tazas< its best-known face: dark and epic tunes with a slight taste of 90s sound. hands up for mister coromina with >dancing and confused< he delivers what will be a sure hit forgetting the sound we were used to listen in his productions alongside undo. as you hear the track and its persistent jaw-dropping bassline, the best productions of carl craig and Âme will pop up to your mind showing clear influences of the new generation house music. youll dance more than c3po in a gargantuan spin-dry machine !! supported by: laurent garnier, funk d void, kiki, the youngsters, stefan goldmann, donato dozzy, mathias kaden, sian, glimpse, jesse somfay, karotte and angel molina

monomachine behind the name monomachine lie two well known musicians of the spanish and chilean electronic scene respectively: iñigo oruezábal and francisco allendes. this adventure in minimal code, sometimes more techno and others more house oriented, gathers all the background and joint professional experience of both artists, as a result of years of individual experience in the best dj booths and studios in spain and south america. its a sound that relates directly with the vanguard sounds in the current electronic dance music has its main target in the dance floor, not leaving aside a high quality production which results in an intense and clear sound. here are their latest tracks, released on catwash records.bomb jack on the a side is a tweaky, techy, track with jungle drum and percussion, and a soothing constant bass line that makes this track a great connector in any set. ghost and goblins on the b side starts out with some rhythmic minimal bongo drum sounds before a deep echoey bassline enters and kicks the track into its real journey. the contrasting synth sounds add flavour that turns this into a good boppy track that will get the peeps grooving on the dancefloor!

forteba was born and raised in hungary where he chooses the occupation of an electronic music producer at the age of eighteen. his early compositions were settled near breakbeat and chill-out area but he soon found his passion in straight rhythms and arrangements inspired by german deep-house stuff. he likes to embed various elements of dub and ambient into straight clear rhythms, so his borders of style are hard to define. he produced some successful singles in his home country as >the garage< together with gábor pasztoriális and got released at hungary-based underground labels……

l delay is all about the drama—but at the same time, its skipping hi-hats and ringing bells suggest a carefree spirit and a supreme lightness of touch. talk about a duality: a cloak of reverb sucks the track perennially towards the dark side, but from the gleeful syncopations to the cheekily sampled live instruments, everything else opens up to the light like a morning yoga position. there s no funny business here, just tight rhythms and emphatic phrases that command bodies to move. its a monster of a track, but it must be of the loch ness variety, because youll never see it coming. on the flip, >frost< —haunted by the same high, lonesome string note as >l delay<— might be even more energetic, if that s possible. the high end has been smoothed down, and some of the roughhewn chicago edge of its companion tune sanded smooth, but its crazily syncopated standup bass line and distant, answering keyboards is all muscle, tensed and ready to explode. spacious drum tracks clear the floor for flashes of tambourine and handclaps so dry you can taste the salt on em. again, no nonsense is the name of the game: just raw, unadulterated funk with an ear for playful rhythms and limber moves

hard.. harder.. cardiac!! clear, here it comes, another cardiac arrest you hopefully survive.., if you are strong enough that is !!

i dont have much to say about the dahlbacks. jesper is one of my best friends, even though he is a serious pain in the ass. john made 6 records in the time it took you to read this sentence....and he just turned 11. every once in a while they take about 40minutes out of their hectic schedule (john stops making records...to make a record, while jesper take s a break from the grueling demands of being a condo association manager) to make a record for turbo. in all honesty i think they give me the tracks they forgot about..... cuz you know if they really loved them they would keep them for their own lame labels. so, instead i leave you with the music. 3 tracks that prove again that somehow, against all odds, when you put cousins in a studio they bring out the best in each other. jespers maverick genius and time-honed wisdom tempers johns youthful passion and naive exuberance.. while johns youngbrain redefines the game and reenergizes the old master. the two cousins locked in a dance that continually blurs the lines between student and teacher, a sonic sibling rivalry a musical match with one clear winner ....you!!

support by oliver koletzki, inaqui marin, angel molina… marc marzenit is without a doubt one of the covered ones of the electronic scene of dance for this 2007. spheere is track 100% marzenit, great melodies and arpeggios, explosive hit, crescendo continuous and hipnótic to the maximum. today is yesterday - claustrophobia-rmx is governed more by similar patterns but less serious than spheere, and with a definitive attack to the jugular one in its culminating point. today is yesterday - original rmx- adopts melancholic forms with a minimalistic suit in the less contemptuous tone of the word. this does not sound like a regular record? then in the cover and the label it puts it well clear r-e-g-u-l-a-r

excellent spacin detroit-ish soundscapes on the new delsin by quince !!!

when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

incl. sleeparchive rmx, played by 2000 and one (cocoon), martinez (out of orbit), agaric (we are), butane (alphahouse), tadeo (ciclycal tracks), iñaqui marín (regular), leandro gamez (intec), angel molina (sonar music) soulrack & sleeparchive two great producers which cray1 labworks comes again and succeed with these first beats of 2007. this wisd move is called >modul age<. soulrack, signs, >modul age<, that is one of its best singles till today. nervous and funny minimal techno, with a clear funky touch, it is a good sample of the sensational state in which there is the label manager of cray1 labworks.

next phat clear sounding minimal masterpieces by butane !!

played by: ricardo villalobos, luciano, magda, dan curtin, zip,.. its been a great year soo far for the talented mr. haze, as he continues to push the boundries of electronic dance music. this record is a clear cut example of why things started to get real, real hot all of a sudden. with this special release, jay s first release on the label he started 7 years ago - jay translates what it is like to be >big pimping< in berlin, germany. jay moved to the electronic music mecca just 3 years ago and has steadily advanced through one of the most competitive market places with lightining speed. so in some sense this record >berlin pimping part2< is another fond dedication record to the city which provides soo much for jay. (the first was jay s record on german label musik krause >berlin pimpin/love affair<)

jochen trappe is back on the map and his message is clear, the summer is over, its time to go nasty !! jochen features three completely freaked out tunes somewhere between techno, electro and nut techhouse - sphistically arranged and straight into your face

the bpm has slowed right down offering us two tracks with a subversive and insidious groove...though solidly based within current electronic thinking and styles, this ep stays well clear of any clichés....to quote laurent garnier on hearing these tracks >no other record in my box resembles this in any way<...you need to hear it

service station tom elaborates his very own style of minimal deep house, fathoming lots of aspects of today s minimal dancecuts into one clear vision, without ever leaving the dancefloor.

after the fulminant launch of the label, modus operandi starts into the second round. this times releasing two new tracks of the gebrueder ton. der gelbe fluss streams like a sonic-river and carries anybody on who dares to come too close to the dancefloor. especially the second track denk an mich captures the ears of its listener. glass projekte – the latest track of the einmusik trio – this track develops massive, but not too heavy. and after the saw comes in it is all clear: go for the dancefloor, thats right. a very round thing, this record

sians debut release on karmarouge.. by listening to his >gypsy life ep<, it soon becomes clear that sian knows very well how to compose minimalistic ambient and melodic pads !! sweet

on the a side, step back is an ultra fat minimal tune with both old school housy sounds and strong techno beat. the dark male vocal repeating step back won t leave your head for hours. on the flip side, bastien grine goes deeper on a mental trip. a fat bass line surrounded by clear floating sounds. he plays with stereo effects and we loose our mind … pure madness

fourth and final ep from the series of radiohead cover versions osunlade takes everything to the brazilian dancefloor with congos unsteady trumpet and deep slabs of synth the cinematic orchestra comes with a more global orientated mix with a clear hip hop edge telefon tel aviv have removed the defining guitar riff to this deeply melancholic poem to place their unique personality on this cover adding the detached chanteuse musings of laltra vocalist lindsay anderson coupled with their elegantly complex brash electronics guitar and piano ambience

>dirty jay< on a1 is a mixture of steve bug and josh wink in one dirtbag. superfreak meets traffic signs. on the flip side we have two more old-school tracks, starting with >da shit< on b1. short synth bleeping repetitive sounds, a clear drum arrangement and an old school male voice-sample, these are the ingredients of this journey. finally >sophie< on b2 shows us this well-known oldschool dry bass, followed by a unintrusive atmospheric melody. all together will work on your floor very well !!

there certainly ainft no stopping franck roger at the moment: another 12 teaser from his forthcoming album makes perfectly clear that this parisian producer is churning out nothing but pure quality deephouse. >say you love me< sports a classic, slightly latin-fused riddim with and effective off-beat organ chords and horn stabs. the dub mix is even more stripped, putting the emphasis on the strong beats - dope
