first on decks.de !! dilek records is presenting its seventh reference and introduces two talented and highly qualified artists coming straight from the province of cordoba in argentina, we are talking about martin huergo and andres oddone. this multi ethnic release also includes a remix of the well known chilean artist pier bucci, who participated in this new work full of intense feelings, like everything we do at dilek. martin and andres are producing together since many years, and they seem to have found this special something that makes them choose the perfect balance for their productions. its a mix of mystical sounds all coming from foreign cultures and different influences. every one of these tracks have to be listened carefully because these sounds are definitely not more of the same stuff, they have that certain something, they are classy and yet contending.

ross alexander payne has always been interested in the earth and its relationship to all in its vicinity, this includes earths place within the universe, and the presence upon earth of both natural and manmade systems and processes. drift and expansion are tracks designed to represent a view of earth from space. it was previously believed that the earth was expanding and thus the continental land masses were moving as a result of this process. modern scientific evidence does not support this idea, and the theory of plate tectonics is now almost universally accepted. this ep represents a view of the idea of these two disparate theories as if taken from the direct space around earth. ross explains in his words >everything i do, be it music related or otherwise, is driven by this fascination with the universe around me, the quest to discover this universe and the desire to expand my knowledge of all within it<

long awaited lp debut from this oklahoma group, who recorded these tracks back in the 80s, but for whatever reason most of them never got released. especially check out the instrumental from >whos girl are you?< an incredible synth/disco track! a very good job has been done on the mastering, considering these tracks were mastered from an old cassette tape!tip!

>the last time...< is the new ep from the much respected miami artist, gosub. expanding on the electrofunk experiments from his previous releases, these tracks are a sleazy stab at predicting funks future. the intro track, >the broadcast<, appears in instrumental form on the vinyl, and sets the tone for the ep with its laid back slide.

many people know antoine garcin for the two very successful labels he runs, time has changed and time is now, but you would be wrong in thinking these was the only arrows to his bow. in fact he has many and being a talented producer is one of them, as richie hawtin recognised when he praised him as the best breakthrough producer of 2009!

believe it or not - summer has finally come. so what could be nicer than some audio delicatessen, produced to become the perfect companions for this season? sun shining in your face, groove rolling through your hips: that must have been andreas krügers vision of the upcoming months. so how come the calender and the leaves on the street are presenting us with a completly different truth? it seems like der dritte raum wants to shed some light onto these endless weeks of cold and darkness - and really, sunny thoughts and warm feelings find their way into our hearts and minds

its been a while since the last release, but labelowner mike humphries received so many good material that he only had one option. this must be released! odessa soundfreaks bringing the funk back to the label with 3 tracks that can be best descriped as driving! a lot of energy is pumped into these tracks and the result is stunning. try to freeze on this one!

embrace spring and sun and flowers and stuff to these funky shuffled beats by oliver $ - this one is made to get played on heavy rotation!

we have never done a project like this before where the artists choose all the remixers themselves. but for the crazy italoboyz album >bla bla bla< we found ourselves not really knowing what to do. so instead of forcing our own ideas for remixers we went back to the source and let the artists run wild on the a&r. marco and fede commissioned all the remixers themselves. the producers they chose are a very diverse bunch and the vinyl 12inch takes a sampling of the best material from two very big underground names. on the a-side das kraus duo turn it a super jackin yet also very haunting rendition of >oh mio dio.< it sounds like pitched up chicago house meets demon days. on the b-side old school master dandy jack turns in one of the oddest records ever on mothership with some unusual sound design, voices and semi-dischordant note runs. super weird for the super weird! whatever you think of this odd lot no one can deny these remixes definitely carry the indistinguishable mark of that ever so quirky duo, the italoboyz

bristling with energy and intensity, these are standout peak-time cuts that combine pounding beats, pulsing acid stabs, futuristic phaser effects, chopped up vocals and a riveting breakdown !

these tracks by the black project work wonders in the disco!

andrade is the fresh faced insurgent whos been pulling at the hearts and ears of listeners ever since his debut release on the french label time has changed last year. now, in only a short time the young man has built his sound so that it captured the attention of steve bugs dessous imprint. the pumping, disco storm that is face de bouc is like taking a ride down the street into funkytown centre! lazy, swinging beats underpin a monster baseline track that lifts and builds as hot horns and cosmic elements become intwined in the mysterious narration. fellow french power player d julz remixes‚..de bouc in his typical upfront and hi quality style. urgent, dubbed fragments of party house phase in between flashing, energetic percussion. housemusic 2010. the tight grind of old rules is a perfect companion to these two monsters, then. operating on devious, dead funky sub levels its a tight and modern take on stab laden house classicism.

kurbits 004 marks the return of dan andrei who brings the romanian dirt with two dusty, percussive techno tools. first out on the label side is ramble on, an old school house rhythm. driven by a shaker in a jacking groove and topped off with a rambling vocal about nothing at all, because after all these vocals about >house music<, whats left to say? just put the track on and get the groove on! four sticks on the info side is a straight up techno banger built on a rolling house groove. no funny business, just a sublime percussion workout with little but essential hints of melody to let you catch your breath, then straight back to the groove! we sincerely hope youll have as much pleasure with these tracks as we are. well be back soon with new and exciting rhythms. happy mixing!

these two guys need no introduction we re sure.. between them the music these guys put out there, is some of the finest house beats around.. now combined the production level on this beauty takes things to another level.. swinging hooks, driving beats & acid 303 lines. a perfect blend of prog / tech & house.. call it what you will.. this simply rocks! alex & filip takes things deeper and more twised , while steve haines goes down the more melodic route. two great remixes to top of the release.

well ok, no rule without exception... this beautiful joint from johannes albert is a little web 2.0 fairy-tail: the white rookie & cratedigga no. 1 moomin found a youtube clip of a dj hammering a super-deep, rough piano track in a club in the german city of paderborn. he didnt know the track, so he sent the dj a mail asking and a few mails later, the tracks from johannes were blowing away mr. offermanns ears. so the labelhead decided to make this the next white. of course first of all johannes & oskar had to meet a few times to make sure they understand each others vision well and after a few meetings they eventually became friends. so the labels movement towards the direction of house is continued by this release. wooden pearls is pure housemusic to the core. very wooden & grounded in the lower spectrum and crystal clear up in the sky. these very honest and timeless tracks tell us a story. the story of johannes alberts passion for house. since he was 15 years old, he is a fan. from the german franconia he follows house throu his local recordstore >swing king<

belfast bad boys, jet project, are running their city at the moment. their recent slew of tracks on labels such as viva, darkroom dubs, as well as our very own get digital with the scorching hot >zuma<, have been getting them attention with djs great and small. chugging right along in very tastefully form, the lads lend their services once again to get digital. however, this time it is an e.p. all for themselves and deservedly so with hauntingly epic >understand this<. understand this is a clinic of how to mold proper song structure into dance music form. all the key elements are there: a discernible intro, strong vocals with meaning, and a proper breakdown that utilizes a whole new group of sounds. writing tunes like these takes knowledge, effort, and passion. the dub version strips the male vocal hook away, but leaves the snippets and effects from it in there. allowing the track to ride on its full bass line and warped synth patterns..

luca and kai met for the first time in berlin winter 2002, playing long deep sets at some of the shadiest after hours in berlins underground. for this debut ep under the name luca ortega & kai maan, they deliver two deep techno cuts: >kompiuta< and >i thou< using the advantages of both analogue and digital gear to create a warm, deep and driving sound, perfectly suited for the types of places these friendships are forged.

finally, the long wait is over! we are proud to present the first solo effort by leviste and its been worth the wait. three ultra varied tracks starting with the driving drums and bassline of >senioritis<. >better get used to it< shows off levistes melodic abilities with a beautiful melancholic epic. these first two songs really show what an important role leviste has played in the duos productions over the years. >change the station< rounds things out with a bit of modular synth experimentation over a jacking rhythm track.

the infamous krause duo is back on philpot! it took them 4 years to come up with these soul-grinding pieces of deep swing. teaming up with large maeurer again whose minor keys adding that certain blues, we felt for on their first release in 2006 (php012). this is f... irresistible dance music with an edge! please make up your own mind on this one - we simply love it!

yes, its them: federleicht. no better way to start a label: the newcomers of the year have created here a playful and danceable track at the same piece: >rosa lee<. florian schirmacher and marc bammann made an apt remark in naming the ep >modern dada< to point out their ability to make a tribute to the free form. music with german lyrics for the dance floor, combining fragments, while this masterly sense of easiness, for which even the >supergooses< ep was rewarded as a masterpiece in the de:bug. formresonance devides their releases in solid, fluid and aeroform to restrain the musical spectrum which is indeed to be at the ready. solid in any case with both feet down-to-club. how nice … there should be the klub edit of rosa lee as well. in >lilly & douai (fluid)<, the duo spans such an emotional tension by overlaying approximately 80 radio tracks on which federleicht travels the two french industrial cities lille and douai, with the idea that these cities are nature reserves. such sensitive places they are…

basti grub is a specialist for extraordinary and outstanding productions. loving music from his early childhood on. he seems to have a different approach to electronic dance music. these 3 tunes here are combining afro beats with wonderful rhythm driven latino tech house sounds, spanish guitars and smooth but subtle vocals and melodies. its also a bit different from his usual productions concentrating more on rhythm & drums than usually. he left certain elements and hooks out to let the groove develop and this is probably the best thing he could ever do.

prepare to enter the sombrero galaxy. journey to the centre of the sun, the debut release from lovefingers highly anticipated imprint esp institute, is a collaborative effort from londoner jonny nash (discosession) and dutchman tako reyenga. the two met years ago whilst jonny was working and living in tokyo and tako made his way over to dj. around the same time, lovefingers linked up with these two and a musical family had formed. that being told, its only natural for sombrero galaxy to find its home and represent the face of the esp insitute. journey to the centre of the sun is a dive into a moody, visceral and ethereal headspace brought to life through shimmering synthesizers, swirling guitars and a chugging bassline coupled with live percussion, clearly setting the bar higher than the bulk of contemporary electronic music. on the b side, the stallions (lovefingers and lee douglas) reinterpret the track with optimism, nicely complimenting the original with a light and cloudy yet driving house version. this is the music of dreams, keep an eye on esp institute in this new decade.

we would like to welcome deep a and biri to upon you records. these two up and coming young producers from israel have sent us three jackin house tracks, which we know you will enjoy. wed had an eye on them for a while after hearing their tracks that they released for kammer, trapez and rotary cocktail, all the better that they now have another platform for their darker house style. on a1 we have barzilay a track that is dedicated to the club in tel aviv where deep a is a resident and salutes the vibrant energy of the city. b1 is wilder and more psychedelic. deepa & biri made a gem called emergenze that subtly pushes itself forward then rolls over everything in its path. hoya on b2 keeps the mystical suspense level up where it should be, and adds a bouncier tom-groove to round things off perfectly. shalom!

minimal techno which is primarily made with expensive soundsystems in mind, these tracks are about chunky rhythm, melody and colour, built to cut through under any circumstances without pandering to cliché

this man cant currently be stopped. following his releases through the 2nd season 2009 (>marvin” on compost, >smaul 06< & >smaul 07<) in january 2010 acid paulis >riverboat tour< came out. now, it seems he opens this years summer season with these two psychedelic thrilling tracks. even though he had been touring a lot with the notwist last year, acid pauli was pretty often an invited, musically refreshing guest in berlins minimal techno (what ever) scene. den mahlstrom rauf leaves no doubts about. great build up he does by keeping tension over five minutes to unlash finally the madness charge with a levitating reverse-ducking-compressed melody. den mahlstrom runter (a play on words of travelling on a boat and getting milled…) seems to be the return from the trip he gives on side a. it is the same track reworked. his musical drama goes faster but deeper under the cortex – but >how lucky a fate< deliverance comes at right time taking the track over to a known housy and deep realm.

club music for us was never limited to way of entertainment and leisure. to create something new and to be part of the modern world is our true purpose. in the initial stages of nervmusic formation, we were great admirers of a catenaccio record label especially for these qualities. now we present our third release by benjamin fehr the head creator of catenaccio. if you hungry for new sound and thinking outside of common grids then this music is for you. imagination is more important than knowledge. knowledge is limited ...

the united kingdom and new zealand unite on the latest get digital release, as tim green and emerson todd team up for two tracks of trendy tech-house. both of these guys had a splendid 2009. tim with his releases on dirtybird and emerson providing a contribution to get digital, at the end of last summer. their initial collaboration came in the form of exercise, which popped up on a compilation from sven väths admired cocoon label. make meis driven by crisp and tight beats that one would expect from these two producers, before tumbling into a 1920s speakeasy jazz drum solo. a flurry of vocals shoo off the drummers as the beats takeover again with an intensified energy. after all that dancing, you will surely need some foot treatment. that is where nail clippertakes over. a sonic pedicure, to easy your tired toes? not quite
