after releasing on labels like tuning spork ( as bunkers with signor andreoni), contexterrior ( with andrea ferlin) and on popof s form, alessio mereu returns with dissolved in the black on his new label amam . it includes 4 techno-techhouse tracks expressing a softer style in respect to his preceding productions without abandoning the techno groove enriched with vocals, real percussion and dark obscure synths. on top of it the release is made more precious by the remix of jay haze that presents a dark, slow, deep and intense track.

2nd installment from piece communications blue series brings once again 3 deep & dubby beauties to the table, this time made by mohalo. limited smokey-grey marbled clear vinyl.

following up his s soup plate with two slick dubby techno trax and a solid remix from eamonn doyle, captain baiyon is ready to kick your ass again, banzai! evening glow of a river brings a dreamlike quality to any clubspace. pushing the shuffle under a spectral vocal to conjour the mood of a haunted skyscraper. its a masterful synthesis of what could be called a traditional techno sound (the one d1 made a tradition of) and an undefinable lucid ambience. lupe carries on the mood onward in a deceptively gentle style, this one gets loud! a solid dub groove that keeps the pace until the intermittent breakdowns where it rips the sky open with a terrorising bubble synth growing like a raging blob monster to the size of a small moon. somehow eamonn doyle manages to tame the beast in his remix. it purrs along beautifully under his signature tamborines and jump strings and ends proceedings in a lush deep style. unmissable for anyone who enjoyed winter sun or come down on the music.

johan gielens new release >these are my friends is made for those who like to groove. based on an addictive theme, the record really tyakes the audience on a trip to one of those classic breaks that will make everybody scream. the entire track cn be easily filed under >balearic<.
>blow it all away by cor fijneman is a terrific vehicle for his production skills. the vocals, the incredible arrangement and atmosphere of the track as a whole, its deep, moving and comes with a stunningly beautiful break that grows like a classical symphonic composition. vocal trance at its finest.

how is it that every time we come across a band from paris it makes us want to be right there, in their beautiful, hipster culture? its probably the same factor that made us want to live in brooklyn when we discovered sleigh bells, or los angeles when we first came across heartsrevolution, or berlin when, or manchester when, or, or, etc. ok, to be fair, our home town of brighton is plenty cool enough thanks, but this three piece from the gallic capital are definitely made from that most attractive of purest hip. we are suckers for the sexy vocalist, complete with every word seemingly breathed out, rather than sung. its all so effortless and...

abstractor part 3 is a collectors item, a one sided 12 inch! this is going to work in all types of sets! a track that is specificaly made to burn an explode dance floors. dark and with a huge drive, a track that keeps bouncing between minimal and techno. the voice (delivered by lee noise) goes straight to the bones! small club, festival, big room parties, ... this track will leave its mark, the mark of an avalanche!

electro-disco made by adam sky & shafiq ettienne in 2004 for crosstownrebels. comes with remixes by frankie flowerz and glimmer twins.

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…

major mainstyle alert! the beat controller is a young, but already well- experienced dutch dj and party organizer (confusion events). besides his dj skills, he already made himself a name with the track >handz on my ballz< in cooperation with angerfist. the track was released on the last angerfist album >mutilate<.
now its time for his first solo ep. both original tracks are rather hard & kickin, but yet still melodic and absolutely dancefloor-orientated. distorted revelation, known for their successful releases on knor, deliver a stunning remix in their unique own style which will also do well on the floor. all in all, a very strong (maybe the strongest) release on important hardcore yet.

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.

a1: seven is established dnb producer eddy woo alter ego. in this incarnation he is currently making waves with several releases. this side is a classic youngsta track, with a typical seven bass work out and a light melody built around driving percussive drum programming making it fit in anywhere.b1: science are a young production team out of the greater antwerp area. this is their debut release and as such a great introduction to their sound. building on the sounds that made halfstep dubstep so popular this track is eyes down business all the way with deep bass and melodica lines.

on this second release of 2010 we present you the first ep by christian wunsch on audio assault. the spanish labelowner of highly respected tsunami imprint delivers two slamming dance-floor destroyers in his typical style, bringing you mind-twisting melodies and straight in your face kick-drums. remixes on both tracks are done by bas mooy and inigo kennedy, both delivering peak-time material. the digital release will also feature a remix by the talented japanese newcomer asagaoaudio, who recently made his debut on sub-label arms.

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

sometime around 1999 swayzak released a 50 copies only white label of tracks >easy< and >hof ter lo< as a taster of their 2000 album >himawari< sadly neither of these tracks made the album in the end, but are now remixed and re-edited by rennie foster and shane berry (dirty works, japan) the originals are brought back to life, and given a twist in a new direction. ten years on we plough through our archives and have a new feeling for these old tunes.

this music works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture. it is used where the batter lacks the elastic structure to hold gas bubbles for more than a few minutes. because carbon dioxide is released at a faster rate through the acid-base reaction than through fermentation, music made by chemical leavening is called >quick compositions. the tracks are made up of an alkaline component, one or more acid salts, and an inert starch (cornstarch in most cases, though potato starch is also used).

pumpin 4 track ep , made for fans of funky house , techhouse & techno too

after a bit of a quiet period, moods & grooves returns with a heavy hitter – gu (aka glenn underground). an icon from the 2nd generation of chicago house music producers, gu by far is the most prolific. back to the basic is a concept through which he returns to the roots of chicago house when producers made the music, not a computer or program.

while johannes builds up his track in his typical heil-stylish way, using lots of freaky and mind-expanding ingredients which are shaping and forming constantly throughout the song and culminating in a brilliant finale, wj henze delivers a puristic techno-stomper full of drive which is clearly made to make you shake.be prepared for a first musical highlight of the year and dont miss this brilliant piece of plastic!

michigan resident and currently one of americas (who actually live there) most promising producers steps up to the gpm plate. a regular of acclaimed stateside labels such as spectral, wolf + lamb as well as european outfits dumb-unit and cityfox. lee curtiss is known for a sound, which fuses disco, house and sex. love in the key of freak is no exception, in fact the perfect mixture to cure any saturday night fever. before house made people jack, disco was making them freak.

when casting a weary eye towards the impending chill of winter, its important to remember that the choice of company kept can greatly affect the way in which one wiles away the long gray hours. in this case, we didnt even need to look further than our own backyard. enter deep techno masons, donor/truss. made up of greg schappert of brooklyn and tom russell of wales, their collective efforts have seeped into the consciousness of world class djs, producers and fans of uncompromising techno music through releases on synewave, miniscule, dilek, and dumb unit. with this, their first ep on thema, they have begun expanding their signature sound. the heady claustrophobia we’ve come to know and love has opened up just enough, spurring a graceful and startling evolution. we also would like to say that we re very happy that themas first release for the year 2010 is, in part, from local nyc based talent. mr schappert has been a big supporter of this label for quite sometime and to have him and tom step onboard is just about the best way we can think of to start the new year. the future is here, welcome 2010!

the motor, the city and soul do return to one of the longest running deephouse labels on the planet. with almost 40 releases and still kicking and keeping vinyl alive this release is no exception. matthias vogt & c-rock join forces again and the two present a heavy loaded package of deep house. with sascha dive and jay shepheard we got two men of the moment to remix -cipher- and all four mixes turned out to be just amazing. sascha dives remix is built on driving beats and develops big time floor potential. vogt re-arranged cipher into an epic musical master piece that incorporates his piano skills. stir15 label head c-rock strips the whole thing down to a deep and tripped out dub and jay shepheard follows his last releases and deivers a stellar deep tech-house groover. a box full of house in different blends. after satoshi tomiees -back to basics- this is another amazing release that already made big waves housefloors around

more percussive layered grooves from layo & bushwacka! this time in the form of >the longest day<, a deeper house track for the discerning amongst you. >can i feel the vibe?< - we certainly hope you can when this one growls out of your speakers. on the b side, olmeto take great pleasure in welcoming mirko loko to the growing list of remixers working on tracks for the label. having made great music for wonderful labels such as cadenza, desolat & planet e, mirko takes this release a stride or two tougher - he locks the groove and just keeps it rocking…absolute precision.

supported by sian, loco dice, hot chip/ felix, john digweed, dubfire, todd bodine, derek miller, deepchild, goldfish + der dulz, mihalis safras, orde meikle, heiko laux, ktantin gabbro, toni d! yes, dominik eulberg is one of the few techno artists from germany who composes music out of a whole range of classical elements such as melodies, analogue synth sounds and a worthy treasure of self made elements. in dominik s world there is still place for romance and dreams opposed to the hard realism of the techno world and the music made on demand. so we were happy when we found in rodriquez jr a remixer who was able to connect dominik s world with his own world, keeping the gentle touch of the original but adding a quirky and lively element to it. if there is something like a perfect remix, this might be it!

dks aka da lukas with a remake of the classic tito puente sample made famous by todd terry aka the gypsyman! dj support: atfc, dj chus, derrick carter, onionz, fedde le grand, riva starr, tom middleton, richard grey and many more...

in 2010 desolat continues its one year old x series with m.in: >sing and blow at the same time<. m.in is an young artist from frankfurt area developing his individual music taste by being open-minded towards other genres. his interpretation of house / tech-house is spiced up with jazz, soul and afrobeat elements in order to present a varied and sophisticated blend to his audience and led to numerous well received solo releases and remixes for radio slave and italoboyz amongst others. m.ins house and his versatile beat programming caught our attention a long time ago - and the title track here simply seemed to be tailor-made for loco dice and his sets. >sing and blow at the same time< was probably one of the best kept secrets since last summer and now it’s time to reveal it. this new desolat x will be the first in the series to be available as a digital file as well. its coloured vinyl, with artwork by florian pohl and mastering by enrico mercaldi, will remain a collectors item - great sounding and good looking.
