shadow sync are back with their latest true techno, full analog release on krd. poles is marked by a percussive sound which despite its inharmonic character yet keeps a trace of tuning making it similar to a voiced percussion. this main sound is arranged to form a sort of pseudo-melody determined by the different intensity, lenght and color of the reverb tail. the 909 delivers both the drum line and the bass line, realized using the tom section. the background is populated by friendly, ceaselessly mutating sonic organisms. magnetic fields is a train rolling through dark, post-industrial landscapes. its built around a drastically eqed 909 tom, a nervous echoed clap and a cross-rhythmic, 3 against 4 hypnotic bass line which evolves in a bell-like sound towards the pause. the atmosphere is saturated with sound vapors and the temperature is dangerously high: play at your own risk!

danish producer martinez rarely fails to surprise club music lovers with his versatile views on techno and house. his very special enthusiasm enables him to seize new musical territory with every release. with his debut record on cadenza, his house sound develops another depth, a more general view of the ever evolving tension between life and music. the mzuzu ep is all about bass. the bass is all around, the bass gushes into every corner of the club, it pervades concrete and iron. while the low frequencies deal ruthlessly with architecture, they are kind to us humans. the basslines put the dancers in a conforting state of hypnosis which might be an unconscious reminder of the long gone time when one still rested in ones mothers womb. it arouses the memory of a state when one is completely merged with the surroundings. martinez reorganises the structure of house music: the lashing grooves cease to be the center of the tracks. martinez moves the heartbeat of the music from the beats to the bass. its firmness releases the other elements of the tracks, creating a free-spirited feeling. freed from their regular task the grooves are enabled to be rough and open. instead of trying to control the crowd, they ravish us with their liberating energy. the tracks rarely need anything else. the icing on the cake consists in tiny vocal samples. creating an irritating athmosphere, they put us in a state of constant curiosity. disolving completely into the flow of the tracks, the human voices become pure sound. >mzuzu chant< & >adagio< are for the beautiful moments when the dancing crowd detaches itself from time and space

the shoes crew is back! after working on the >eccentric breaks< album they get back to what they do best. 4 super smooth dancefloor re-edit tracks based around classic roy ayers songs: >2000 black<, >running away<, >sunshine<, and >superstar<. seriously well done, dont miss this!

after an incredible whirlwind of a year lee foss returns to the culprit fore with >your turn girl<. foss is the labels most consistent and prolific artist with this ep being his fourth release, solo or as part of hot natured. it is safe to say, lee has become one of the pillars around which culprit is being built. the >your turn girl ep< carries foss signature hallmarks: melodic funk-infused basslines, vocal hooks that grab you from the off and a smooth electronic edge. lees incredibly emotive sound makes him stand out even in the current glut of soulful dance music washing over the global scene. your turn girl – the title track is an epitome of foss >ominous funk< style, playful yet with a distinctly sultry edge. yet another memorable r n b female vocal bit sits on top of some of lees own best synth work. and driven by a killer analogue bassline. >pyramid scheme< –bristles with the disco-inspired propulsive energy. an acid-flecked low end, that comes to the fore mid-way through, a swirling guitar sample, the crisply sharp drums add up to the releases, perhaps, most hands-in-the air moment. >cabin party< continues the themes lee explored with his mega successful hot creations ep. foss eschews the standard house beat yet again, opting for his most organic drums yet, stunningly conceived textures and melodies, with another pair of vocal hooks to die for. finally >warriors< has been a staple of many a culprit dj set for the best part of 2010. lees trademark combination of a terrific electronic bassline, and an unabashedly emotional sample work make for a deep house stand-out tinged with a sense of nostalgia.

the exceptional quality of these two pieces of music, combined with obvious dance floor appeal and a coincidentally similar theme made this pairing a logical choice. one side is a hybrid hip hop-dubstep monster put together by los angeles based producer bare. the flip is a drum & bass stomper created by accomplished british producer and long time basshead family member dj silver. both songs are a proven commodity for any bass dj and are causing ruckus on dance floors around the globe.

once again, berlin based resopal label head mri sticks to his guns and brings you strangely funky tunes. weakend-polka titled ep is filled with three tracks, all spiked with steady beats, funk, deep melodic chords and an overall glamour house feel. this is not only very well produced house / funk music, its also a journey through deepness and a modern take on the soulful side of the electronic music which exceeds the genre by far with a rich, colourful palette of surprising, individual sounds, butter-smooth chords, some of the most raunchiest bassline that you will ever hear outside of drum n bass, cleverly constructed beat patterns that yet never fail to jack and swing and an understanding of dub that goes far beyond the random use of echo and effects. this is electric intergalactic soul/funk/house/techno. its noir, its dirty, its dangerous and risqu. on vinyl, as we like our little record-shop around the corner.

greg wilson dips into the vaults and reworks two tracks from the pre-disco era of funk & soul on his latest ruff edits release. willie hendersons the dance master (1973) and happiness is just around the bend by the main ingredient (1974) were both cult favourites with black music aficionados way way back in the day, even before greg started deejaying in the clubs first time around. greg originally extended these tracks for his vintage future retro mix earlier this year, before he began to play them out as ruffs

finally, juli holz is back on stil vor talent. the whispery and enchanting voice of the blonde singer and producer can now be heard again on two new tracks on stil vor talent + oliver koletzki rmx. while her topics are still clearly defined, circling around music, love and life in the big city, her music has become more house-orientated and is even mingling with straight pop music.

i dont think i know, or heard of, anyone who share the same obsession in searching obscure disco records like kool dj dust (real name daniel savio). call him at any given time and he is in some flee market or second hand shop on the look-out for records. he even got an apartment just for his collection.
we talked about the idea of re-releasing >un-googable< music, old stuff that is not only very hard to find, but also so good that re-issueing it is an actual cultural necessity. dust tossed around with a few ideas and finally these three songs made the cut. we are very happy with them!
we hope you are too. we are also happy that we have the support on this release from so many djs. some of them being rune lindbaek, in flagranti, tim sweeney, horse meat disco, 6th borough project, parlour, dj rocca, bonar bradberry, parlour, hugo capablanca, cousin cole et al.

the hideout deconstruction revisited series is going into phase two, here we go: after the french connection (d julz and paul ritch ) , this new release sees a more international bundle of top class producers : to start , we have dusseldorfs master producer martin buttrich (desolat , planet e , ...) put his magic hands on davide squillace & luca bacchetti s around the bay ( ho001). the track starts with an >acoustic style< beat and, a strong sine sub bass line, evolving to a jacking groove with rising vocal sample , intelligent synth lines , and arabic flute break. on b2 , carola pisaturo ( titbit , claque) delivers a more minimal rework , using bouncy sub bass , vocal snipets , 909 snare and clap ... giving davide squillace and luca bacchettis around the bay a rebirth. on the flip side, mathias kadens ( vakant , cocoon ) relecture starts with a strong shuffled tribal beat , 909 toms , synth lines ... mathias interprets the original elements of around the bay in a very personal way , dropping snipets into reverbs and delays in order to create a deep rising atmosphere untill the track peaks.

after several hot tunes on worthy’s anabatic imprint, birminghams tom flynn joins the ranks of the dirtybird crew. i ve battle tested the a-side of this record all around the world. >catch that bird< is a rare mix of deep rooted funk whilst also sounding like a caribbean jungle track pitched down to 126. my favorite!
i d play this ep just on the strength of the a-side but i feel like a lot of attention will also be given to the b-side called >rhode island<. this is a classic piece of deep house with all the melodic elements of a dirtybird jam.
tom sent me at least 7 tracks before i signed these so the guy is certainly prolific and i expect to hear quite a bit more from this up and comer this year.
enjoy,
claude vonstroke

mood ii swing steps up to the plate for the latest core reissue with one of their finest works, handpicked from an accomplished list of mighty ny house masterpieces spanning the 1990s. >sunlight in my eyes<, released on king street sounds, is one of springsteen and ciafones unquestionable feats, an astral, pad-laden waking dream structured around a spine-tingling vocal sample that is progressively rearranged, teased-out and freaked relentlessly, as each exalted chord is shone down from the heavens at precisely the right instant. a prime example of the weightless, unfettered and incomprehensibly beautiful musical imagination of the rave generation, the 1994 masterpiece nonetheless features the swinging drum program and demolition drive of a ny house classic—a track right at home amid the boundless vision of springsteen and ciafones genius. finally reissued after 16 years of obscurity, >sunlight in my eyes< encapsulates mood ii swings many forms in a singular exposition of deep house eternity worthy of representing the duos prolific catalog.

to open eyes, not ears to hear what there is to see -- just one of the many paradoxes mainz-based butch manages to merge with verve. to capture the duality of his sounds that oscillate between under and over, techno and house, spirituality and marketability, club and home stereo, to celebrate the everyday high and question it at the same time, is just one of the many talents and specialties of this particular dj and producer whose light shines from the orient and whose future lies in yonderland. this and much more is the starting point for a terrific second long player, released by proud and excited bülent gürler himself on his very own, newly founded imprint bouq. leaving the flattering protection of his mayor label behind to spread his creative wings and fly around the world as free as a bird, the multi-facetted, mainz-based producer, more selfconfident and independent than ever, is presenting himself in the best party light
