played by: baby ford, trickski, julius steinhoff, anthony collins, philip bader, dirty doering, lil tony, kotelett & zadak, karotte,.. _ very special one sided 12 inch_ once again the latest white release is a reinvention of the label itself and pre-announces its early ending years in advance. this release is a very special one... it is from oliver ton and can be understood as the >very last number of the night<, that is why it is catalogued as the white- 999. oliver ton invited many musicians for jamming sessions into the studio of his production partner >ronald christoph<, in order to create a unique sounding. the final results are >hasta el fin< a song, which will turn every afterhour upside down, especially during summer! the song simply has it all. we love its humor and see it as an ironic statement of the minimalhouse hype.... thats why it matches so beautiful to white... or not.... and thats what we love about it, say the creators of white.

the flame recordings is proud to announce heimat 35! this is the name of the new ep from the top italian dj and producer andrea fiorito,a lot of experience on stage mixed with a touch of class like few artists untill now. in this work he puted together his passion for swing music from 1920-1940’s with a super house groove.the result is something he likes to call swinging cabaret house in the a side. about b1 side andrea fiorito likes to play with some chicago old school techno elements and jazz organs mixed with strong native percussions. b2: imagine to make a trip in america latina,some strong cuban influences together with funk bassline to let you dance when the sun is shining!

played by brothers vibe , gerd janson (running back)... introducing two brand new lindstrom tracks: the magnificent and disturbing the perfect symmetry the leftover ep came about when prins thomas, todd terje and smalltown supersound were let into the lindstrom vaults so to speak. lindstrom makes a lot of music obviously (he has one album out this year already with prins thomas and another one with christabelle coming in october), and these were two tracks just laying around that he hadnt thought about releasing. when both prins thomas, todd terje and his label insisted that the tracks had to be released, he decided it was maybe a good idea to make another 12inch since it had actually been a while since the last one. and we are all happy by that. these are some of his finest moments. his signature melodies and sound are all here ready set dancefloors on fire. hope you like them as much as we do. enjoy!

broken rules is back with a vengeance with this hard ripping four track ep on ist. the tracks are in the classic broken style with no messing about, hard kicks, slick tekno rythms, with the infamous hard kicks and distorted madness the man with no rules is known for. so check this banging 12 inch out, it will not disappoint.

time to express is pleased to present the first results of the collaboration between italian producer donato dozzy and colognes finest, cio d or. both artists have recorded seperately for labels such as wagon repair, railyard, aquaplano, motoguzzi, broque and treibstoff. a great three track ep with dirty minimalized techno killers that must be played out loud for full effect! somehow reminiscent to the good old days from minimal unit moebius and plastikman tracks.... when minimal techno wasnt about pleasing the crowd (which it did after all). 3 tracks with deep sub bass driven grooves and distant melodies that move in spirals in and out of the mix with a moving and twisting beat. it s sour and dirty, with a touch of that particular blend of mesmerising techno both producers are known for. the peter van hoessen mix is more upfront and in your face. mental introvert techno tracks that will take the party to another level! tip!

with veryverywrongindeed about to do its first new label night at fabric s sister club matter three days after this release, the label is expected to get a lot of attention across the web, with interviews coming in ibiza voice, data transmission and a big competition in ra. the track, meanwhile, is inspired by the 1960 s film starring richard burton. with sheridan s classical-music background and his trademark grand piano and orchestral stabs, it s a dark and fluid number - in the spirit of the murky east end gangland tale that inspired it. and on the flip is another up-and-coming uk artist, max cooper, taking the track in a much more epic direction.

long awaited new material from the detroit master andres on moodymanns >other< label. in true mahogani music style they decided to release the second of his two eps before the first. there has been a new andres album rumoured for a while now so we are thinking this is the second half of it. theres eleven tracks in total, with a few skits and interludes bridging the gap between classic detroit house jams and gospel style vocal tracks that kdj himself would be proud of. this one was well worth the wait!!

apendics.shuffle’s elegance & malice ep has been reworked by two great talent’s the master of minimalism thomas melchior & ransom note’s adultnapper, both artists have expressed there interpretations to the highest order. adultnapper has taken a darker path, raw & steady drums keep you grounded whilst disassembled voices and eary strings make you realize things are going to get weird. there is a constant hook in the background that sounds like the noise of a sleeping monster but as it gets louder you know it’s about to wake and it does, throwing you backwards in a totally different direction. melchior’s remix takes you on a different journey one that you never want to end. lush melodic sound’s and stunning percussion with deep soulful vocals keep growing and growing drawing you ever nearer all the time never letting you go.

keep me in my plane is the follow up to the succesful single the plot, including remixes by dj koze and kasper björke. a downtempo disco track that could remind of early talking headsà but goes much further! tip! the danish discorockers whomadewho released their second album in march. and who would ever have thought this: now, one month later, they are everywhere: you can see them on covers of music magazines in germany, france and uk. their concerts are sold out and the blogs freak out about the new singles and weird videos. after the first single the plot now here comes the follow up keep me in my plane. a downtempo disco track that could remind of early talking heads but goes much further. it got a clear touch of scandinavian pop - but without being cheesy as so much of the music we get from the north. remixes come courtesy of german superstar rmxer dj koze (the first remix after his remix compilation on get physical) and danish upcoming master of new house kasper björke

duff mckagan. a man with a big reputation through his involvement with major bands. guns n roses and velvet revolver...you know the drill. but this isnt about mega headlines, superstar status and volcanic ego mania. loaded isnt a band merely to fill in time, to allow the famed bassist to massage a hyper publicity drive. this is all about music!

“it’s nearly spring, so the sun god re-emerges after a 3 year hibernation. this series is based on rawer electronic vibrations combining artnoise / jack rhythms / sufi sounds for the fearless music explorer. when the series is complete the music will be followed up by an indie doc /visual art film on dvd dec 2009 with the music feeding this new age cinematic medium. jack fm is the exploration of a sound not yet understood or known to the masses outside the jack community. non-believers mis-interpet what they hear so jack fm is about the re-education of the mis-representation of the sound. jack is not just a feeling, it’s a knowing, a clear and certain mental apprehension of a true aboriginal sound. archived & preserved for future generations by the sun god”

some spicy latin salsa to heat up the dancefloor at your tropical dance party! there s nothing quite like listening or dancing to good strong latin music, and i m not talking about wishy washy bossa nova or boring rumbas that your mum and dad danced to on their honeymoon cruise in the caribbean. i m talking about tropical rhythms that make your hips grind and jiggle, complex, crazy beats that make your feet take on a life of their own, hypnotic piano and blasting horns that whirl around inside your head, intensifying an already exotic experience. it doesn t matter if you don t understand the lyrics, the fun is all there in the vibrant atmosphere and the knowledge that you re listening to pro musicians making seriously exciting music.
when it comes to proper latin, there are loads of bands to choose from. most of them don t get a peep outside of their local communities, it appears that the latinos are only too happy to enjoy their own music, and so what if the rest of the world can t hear it? not so orcestra esencia - this west coast usa outfit can give it some if they really have to. check out these two irresistible tracks. tropical dancefloor salsa at its finest. now that s what i call bangin latin!
we re not the macnamaras, and we re not leaders of men. we are an east bay salsa band, the finest in the land. we play at wakes and weddings, and every fancy ball. we cancel playing funerals, to play the carnival!

he s the man of the moment. james nidecker, rising star of the dutch technoscene, is always sure to raise an eyebrow or two. not only his djsets, where the amsterdam based artist is often getting the crowds wild with his dark gothpunklike outfits, but also his recent productions can be called mindblowing. nidecker perfectly knows how to combine his dark vocals with uplifting beats, combining influences from electro and minimal techno. s.t.a.l.k.e.r is the culmination of his talents, a hit record already wandering around the dutch clubscene for a while, now finally released on alexander koning s upstruct imprint.
the aside of this release provides a more than outstanding remix from dave ellesmere. renowned for his collaboration with producer 2000 and one under their name microfunk, but nowadays also reaching international fame under his own guise, ellesmere turns s.t.a.l.k.e.r into an ideal dj tool. with a length close to nine minutes, his mix slowly takes the funk of nidecker s rhythms to an upwinding, more techhouse based floorburner.
the other side of this ep is more about the clubs, with dutch dj producer georgio schultz and alexander koning together transforming s.t.a.l.k.e.r into a housetrack like there s no other. here, the unique vocals of nidecker are combined with more melodic, sometimes crazy sounds, always keeping the original flow of the track alive, but taking the best parts of this clubhit to a next level.

cortney tidwell has confirmed details of the first single to be taken from her forthcoming album boys which is – according to tidwell – >about two kids in love, fighting, and they eventually kill themselves. its a modern day romeo and juliet.< undeniably one of the most electronic songs shes written, it calls upon diverse influences like new order and depeche mode and packs a typically impressive melodic punch. the track will be available as a special single edit, and is accompanied by exclusive mixes and an a cappella version. after the success of ewan pearsons remix of the title track to her debut album dont let stars keep us tangled up (a pitchfork track of the year 2007) duties are this time handled by simon baker and daphni. bakers remixes for radioslave and simian mobile disco have confirmed his status as one of the most exciting djsand producers around, and he gives the track a technicolor tech-house workover perfect for summer twilight. daphni – aka dan snaith, aka caribou – has meanwhile turned in a fourteen minute monster, a trippy techno bastard that sneaks up gently, growing relentlessly until it leaves listeners dizzy and euphoric.

leandro gamez (spain): i just like putoxic from the release, but i must say is a cool hypnotic track.
ray kajioka (kanzleramt, berlin):it s not my way... but... just like the lake acid
al redmond (the phonic express, ireland):this is a proper underground ep. putoxic was played by me on friday night at a warehouse party in ireland. i literally had about 25 people come up and ask me what was the name of this record. i will be playing it on my radio show next week too.
andre kronert / neurotron (night drive music, ostwind, session deluxe, 616 detroit):i love a1. its sooo deep and grooving and has this nice oldschool feel. great one. support support support!

>there is nothing more alive or energetic than crystal fighters dazed & confused. offering raved-up folktronica and minimal electro pop and veering from fischerspooner-style euphoria to animal collective-toned delicacy time out crystal fighters reputation has rocketed in 2009, perhaps due to their uncanny ability to create carnage at every performance. loud & quiet forget what you think you know about londons party scene, crystal fighters have the perfect remedy for those jaded eyes and ears< fact

after her intense its all about survival in 2007 for the oceans species sampler (deep explorer 008), heres the comeback of the lady blacktronika to deep explorer as an exclusive ep where lady b write, produce and even perform the vocals in one of the tracks with her personal style, dirty house under the influence of the motown soul. lady b is part of the cocaine collective, new talents in the underground scene like the dj and producer mattski who collaborates in one of the tracks of the ep . also featuring a special remix from dubbyman & above smoke.

stanley anscorm has finished the follow-up to battle beyond the sun. you can expect two epic tracks on this nearly 30 minutes record. although the tracks are based on identical compositional material, they shine in very different color. the black side is of high density and impresses with remarkable bass figures which seems to grow on the fundamental principles of low frequencies. these figures are easily carrying loads of percussions and even an orchestral set of horns which does not seem to be from this world. the white side can be understand as a lighter interpretation of the same topic and it is thrill of its own to discover the intersections between the two tracks. sure, this music is nothing you listen to in an elevator - stanleys art demands attention, there is no doubt about this - but the reward you get if you listen or dance to it with an open heart is of a kind you might never come in contact with somewhere else.

brakes is comprised of members of british sea power, electric soft parade, restlesslist, pipettes and tenderfoot. the band have toured with belle and sebastian, the killers, buck 65, and editors, as well as headlining many tours of their own. touchdown was recorded at the legendary glasgow studio chem 19 by the delgados paul savage (mogwai, arab strap, malcolm middleton) and mastered by the similarly legendary alan douches at west west side, ny. two singles are being released to coincide with the album ? colin murray has fervently supported the first, hey hey, on his radio show, and the songs iseetigers produced video featured as a drowned in sound exclusive before its universal release.

as costello continues to look long, the grooves continue to flow. lng3 sees the reissue of the deep house classic pleite which originally appeared on trapez in 2003. recorded in dublin in 2002, this version has been mastered at dubplates and mastering, berlin in 2009. the results are stunning and serve as a welcome reminder of costelloÆs deep roots. pleite (costello dub) in particular could teach some of todayÆs hyperactive producers a thing or two about setting up a solid groove and letting it sit. the timing of this reissue could not be more perfect with regard to the current musical zeitgeist. the title, a german colloquialism for broke or indeed bankrupt which was an in-joke at the time of the original release, takes on a new significance in the context of global economic recession.

what more can be said about the legendary space djz that hasn t already been said. kicking off this inaugural release we have the dynamic duo showing us their diversity with a track that nods back to the roots of techno. tripods offers us a deep groove with peak time rhythms. the funk just doesn t stop with this sure fire anthem track. the concrete djz have been making quite a name for themselves over the past few years. their track rising tension gives us the reason why. a tough no nonsense hard techno track that s the perfect combination of funk and heavy beats. a true floor filler. arkus p aka peter schmidt is known worldwide for his monster tracks and untitled is no exception. it s a fantastic combination of speed, bass, and melody. this track is pure destruction! we are proud to have arkus on board to help round out such a diverse first release.

excellent funky jackin house vinyl !!

after a quarter year hiatus, spatula city is back at it like a wax addict!!! i am super excited to present this next release that has just been getting caned by everyone and their brothers and sisters too: organized crime - the music laundering ep. hailing from milwaukee, wi, organized crime is comprised of two gentlemen theives: jonn hawley & marcus aurelius. both of them are equal in character as they are in toilet training, and they make killer recordsà.just dont let them in your house. if you like what you have heard so far on spatula city records then this records will exceed all your expectations for a new release. spatula city is back to jack and getting seriousà.so serious we are cleaning house. if you buy this record jonn & marcus will come over and clean your house, but probably kick your dog and blame the cat. they probably wont come over and clean your house, but if you play this record i your house it will probably explode so be careful because that will be a lot to clean up. this record is so damn good im not even going to talk about the music, which is great because i dont have the capacity to anyway

london s idjut boys (dan tyler & conrad mcconnell) and rune lindbaek of oslo are meanderthals. as longtime friends and fans of each other’s music they have discussed the idea of working together in a musical context for years and in 2008, they finally began to make those ideas a reality. throughout the year they traveled back and forth between oslo and london to create their debut album, desire lines. the album is due the 11th of may. but before that, this 12&#8243,,, taster of the andromeda (album track) as well as a idjut boys remix) a meanderthal is a theory by matthew tiessen about a human that is always in the way of others. whether it be the person on the wrong side of the escalator, the person walking slowly, the person bicycling on the pavement, it is essentially the person that stops the flow of urban daily life. on the contrary, lindbaek, tyler and mcconnell s definition does not see this person as a threat, but as a person that is completely in his own world – a slacker, musically on his own. this could also be a good description of lindbaek and the two idjut boys. meanderthals serves mellow balearic disco. a warm and dreamy blend of dub, folk, prog, kraut, psychedelia and 70s west-coast combined to invent an organic, slanted, and proggy feel. recorded live, the album features contributions from good friends, including pete z (dj harvey) on keyboards, des morgan (yamwho?) on drums and percussion, malcolm jospeh (grace jones) on bass, per martinsen (aka mental overdrive) on percussion and raj gupta (laj & quakerman) as sound engineer

sister label to markantonios analytic trail imprint, mkt is all about providing a channel for different concepts in techno music. looking forward in to the future of electronic music, mkt is a space for new sounds to develop, evolve and emerge.originally created as a home for markantonios experimental works mkt has developed into a chosen destination for fellow forward thinking techno artists. this latest ep sees bosnia mladen tomic (adult records) deliver a 4 track ep.tangas is a powerful, bass driven groove that brings the tension. opening up with a cleverly drawn out build of shuffling hats and jittery stabs the culmination is comes as the pressure drops and is joined by a heavy kick and pulsing bassline.blue avenue sees tomic throw a large slice of funk in to the tech melting pot to produce a firing, discofied stripped back groove. constructed of simple but well defined layers this is an unsung hero of a track that djs will find very useful. bubamera combines harmonic melody with driving tribal rhythms to create a truly distinctive piece. high on energy but subtle in its approach, this is peaktime tech house that skilfully combines musical elements with an intense cadence.black white man continues this unique sonic journey with a combination of industrial beats and funked up rhythms. the most uplifting of the tracks on the ep, this cut packs plenty of bounce and shimmering atmosphere into the mix.

some would say the chicken lips label is long overdue, but lipservice is worth the wait as it promises the very best from augmented cl clan of dean meredith, andy meecham, stevie kotey and johnny spencer - a collective who have remixed just about everyone, spawned a thousand copycats and destroyed a few floors in the process. the inaugural lipservice release sees the chaps unleash zeefungk, one of their most popular and rare guises. the a-side is occupied by >robot eyes< - a splendid slice of electro-disco-funk which is vintage chicken lips. acid bass and loose drums combine with keys which progress wonderfully to create a really special piece of dancefloor tomfoolery. next up is >feast of freeks< (stevie koteys tape edit), a new edit of a track featured on the bands now-classic >extended play< album but never released as a 12inch. the bearfunk main man and all round gent delivers a tweaky, driving uptempo disco monster which climaxes in some trademark kotey madness. >robot lips< closes the packages and displays more of the guys unreal keyboard work as the groove stays steady but the hands go hyper. riddled with vintage synth work, >robot lips< is heads down business and no mistake.

limited vinyl edition of the black dog s new album on soma quality recordings. each of the 500 copies is hand numbered and screen printed by the artists. 3 x 180g heavyweight vinyl. the black dog are without a doubt one of the hardest working acts in electronic music. no sooner have they released one of 2008s best albums in >radio scarecrow< and the massive 12 inch >detroit vs. sheffield< which featured two remixes from detroit minimal grandmaster robert hood, they now prepare for their next album release. >further vexations< is a real successor to >radio scarecrow<. the thinking behind the predecessor is still very evident with even more bite, but theres something about the new album that lends itself to the dark club atmosphere. perhaps the recent bout of constant gigging has had its effect on the act because this one is going to be tearing up floors around the world on its release. >further vexations< might have taken half the time to create but still manages to maintain the same degree of meticulous detail and attention as its predecessor, and is a complete package of tracks demanding to be listened to from start to finish. >further vexations< looks to rouse the sort of political attitudes that have been sorely missing from electronic music since raves backlash against the criminal justice act in the 90s.

smokestack is all about paolos darker side. intense, minimalist and moody, the game plan here is all about matching understated energy with a compelling hypnotic aura to create a powerful peak-time tech stormer. booming beats, abrasive bass-licks and a wigged out flickering riff create the required mood before explosions of harmonic echoing keys provide the moment in the break. swiss producer michal ho, best known for his work with berlins tuning spork label has been selected to provide the rework

after a string of highly regarded releases on home label 20:20 vision, uk producer moodymanc aka danny wards strongly original sound and taste for the party has now brought his music to german shores…. his freakily percussive warehouse tool >preacher (bum bum drum dub)< recently featured on steve bugs bugnology 3 mix, and steve was so into moodymancs stylings he simply wanted more!! >snore (dubba dub)< is a finely crafted tribal edged beast, full with invigorating percussive elements, haunting vocal sustains and mancs now trademark dubba-dub stutters. its a roomfilling club tool, infused with the all buzz of a rio carnival, and indeed the warehouse jack of the uks rich northern club scene. switching musical zones slightly, but of course not compromising on quality, >next song< takes us into the darker, deeper and more playful of moodymancs acidic heritage. as a regular dj at the legendary back 2 basics club in leeds, this fellow certainly knows a thing or two about working the floor, and this cut will rock it with equal amounts of deepness and naughtiness! the original, more blissed-out version of ‚snore‘ is also included, which really shows off the musician skills behind wards productions. this real celebration of house is characterised by razor sharp percussion and tastefully soulful synth work, evolving and morphing into a dreamy yet energetic trip… quite a package!

dojo is about getting back to the roots of american techno and house, and getting away from the computer. we want to help bring back the spontaneity and freedom of live performance and recordings. we want to celebrate the raw physicality of the music, and the dj who still likes to mix. ross since, 1997, ross has been in the background of the westcoast canadian techno scene, particularly the victoria family that included mathew jonson, cobblestone jazz, the mole, and hrdvsion. in 1998, he released the now out-of-print compilation album ôgarden city dubs, that featured first material by mathew jonson, and cobblestone jazz. he left for california in æ98, but kept his finger on the pulse as the art director for itiswhatitis recordings. while in the bay area, he listened mostly to soul,rap and early american techno music. heavily influenced by his time spent in the u.s., he started to develop a musical aesthetic, which he is now ready to express. young florent florent moved to vancouver from switzerland to attend art school. he began to get into making techno. tapping into his french-martinique roots, florent quickly developed a unique sound, which caught rossÆs ear. a few live jams later, it was clear that they worked well together, so they got a studio space and got to work. one month later, dojo had its first release. florent has only been making music for a year, but his swiss work-ethic is dangerous

after being influenced by mix-tapes of artists such as richie hawtin, dustin began writing music purely for fun. shortly after, dustin met future-partner ian lehman, who was established in the mid-west rave scene. ian explained to him that music similar to his was played at parties called raves. ian invited him to one of his shows and dustin took his offer to see what he was talking about. after being exposed to just one party, dustin knew this was his future. dustin started doing a live pa at various local parties and quickly became a favorite. after a year, dustin stepped up to the decks and won just as much respect as he did with his productions. in early 2001, dustin and ian both agreed to take things to the next level. they put a halt on bookings and concentrated on the studio. a year later their work had emerged onto vinyl and all over the internet, creating a serious buzz. abiotic was born, and the duo formed the attack people. a few words can easily describe dustin zahnÆs style: moody, tribal, dark, and hypnotic. since dustin co-founded abiotic recordings with ian lehman in 2001, heÆs finished projects for labels such as livewire records (detroit), analytic trail (italy) and invasion (belgium). his tracks have been received support from techno producers such as redhead, adam beyer, danilo vigorito, tim xavier, ben sims, chris liebing, dave clarke, umek

nice price deal !!! dutch duo pacific & van dyck teams up with the talented anna montgomery and deliver something very nice. the original has been doing the rounds for a while now gaining a constant buzz.alex romano adds his magic and sets the original on fire. it is all about that infective baseline. alex romano is known for delivering solid tunes, but what we are hearing here is ridiculous!

villa nah makes pure electronic pop with plenty of emphasis on catchy melodies and meticulously crafted soundscapes reminiscent of the 1980s. stylewise, villa nah is related to 80s bands like heaven 17 or new order, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. once you ve heard their debut single, you ll know that villa nah is about nothing else but their own style and sound. the single opener ways to be is built around a synth bassline, handclaps and the kind of irresistible melody that you cant shake out of your head once you ve heard it. envelope is a tad more dark with an uplifting synth melody serving as a hook. daytime, in contrast to its title, evokes a strong sense of night time. villa nahs vocalist juho paalosmaa is a very charismatic performer, whose great sense of stage drama brings to mind a young glenn gregory or philip oakey. indeed, villa nah is not merely a production duo but an actual band with a live show that is not to be missed.
