high quality compilation of tracks by legendary marc bolan and his band t-rex. virgin 180gram vinyl in gatefold cover

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...

christian and his band also apply their open-minded jazz attitude to the minimalist house throb of groove la chord by the stockholm-based aril brikha. a crescendo of liquid beats and feverish drums, the track builds to a breathless carnival rush, then sinks back to pure pulsating rhythm again. magnificent.

mature music for the deeply minded. we are back in full force with new mixes of moon in taurus with a full string of talent! first up is halo & jamie thinnes from citydeep & seasons records with there signature revisited mixes that always take you on a musical journey through mature music for the deeply minded. they had the pleasure of calling on there good friend rocco from realtone records to work on this project, which needs no introduction!! we just know him as the man!! william reelsoul rodriquez from sole channel music is up next with those deep bass lines and soulful chords in his main mix and kills is with a nasty dub! a new face on the deep house front beppe gioia, with a dirty dub to work any room. mr. dfa himself, darryl james brings the heat with his signature sound!  deep house movement pushes on.

cover version of the s.o.s. band classic!!

it was only a matter of time. two genre-defining artists together ... pop music and dance musics most famous arbiters of taste, collaborating at last. dj hells >u can dance< is an interpretation of an unreleased bryan ferry song, but its one that reflects a perfect melding of two distinct personalities, a record that sounds as if the voice and music were made for each other.
hell, of course, has been riding high on the success of >teufelswerk<, his masterpiece of a double album, a journey replete with fruitful experiments and club bombs. one that has yielded both massive hits and not a tiny bit of controversy along the way. ferry, meanwhile, has been as busy as ever—recording a new album, performing in places as far afield as siberia, opening up the cannes film festival ... basically just being bryan ferry.
and now here they are together ... it all started in 2006 when hell dropped in to meet ferry at his west london studio. at first they discussed hell remixing an old roxy music track, and then it turned into something else - something new (u can dance).
they had similar impressions of one another — hell: >i was impressed by his aura and his look.<, ferry: >he impressed us with his sophistication and charm.< fast forward a few years later, and hell is hard at work on teufelswerk and putting the finishing touches on the aforementioned song titled >u can dance<, a serpentine moroder-esque disco burner. with the help of old friend peter kruder, of kruder and dorfmeister fame, hell fashioned the song into a smoldering nine-minute highlight of the double disc set, in which ferry turns in a typically assured vocal performance.
ferry may seem like an unexpected fan of dance, but hes been going to clubs since he was a teenager, and in his lengthy career hes worked with legends such as nile rodgers of chic and david williams from michael jacksons band. >its always a pleasure to work with people from that genre, who follow a singular groove.<
the single follows in the wake of hells >the dj feat. p. diddy< which has won over floors and critics alike with its nearly 30-minute radio slave remix and fine work from the likes of deetron, jay haze and others. on >u can dance< hell and ferry have similarly pulled out all the stops for the remixes, gathering up work from the grammy-nominated producer carl craig, dfa mainstay tim goldsworthy and pop electro superstars simian mobile disco.

way ahead of its time and quite incredible to imagine such a modern sounding record could have been made so many years ago... this cult new wave/dance cover of the doors classic was taken off the first of the two long players that la synth band moebius (not to be confused with german electronic maestro... dieter moebius of cluster and harmonia fame ) released on moonwind records, 1979-1980.

ilya santana originates from the canary islands (spain). he started to discover his passion for music 20 years ago, while his father was listening to alan parson, vangelis and giorgio moroder amongst others. 15 years ago he started dj ing around all the clubs in gran canaria. not long after that he started producing his own stuff. his first release was on balihu, daniel wang s label. in the meantime he also released records on tirk, permanent vacation and gomma, and remixed artists like human league, the phenomenal handclap band, lindstrom... now we are proud to announce ilya s first release on eskimo, burning jupiter. it s the predecessor to his artist album coming up later in 2010 and showcases perfectly exactly why we wanted him so much to join the eskimo family

ideen zwischen bollywood und beethoven: zweites album der us-indie-rocker.einige bands bleiben immer bei ihrem alten strickmuster, andere ver?ndern sich von album zu album radikal. vampire weekend haben bei ihrem zweiten album weder das eine noch das andere getan. oder vielleicht beides: >wir klingen mehr wie vampire weekend als auf der ersten platte< meint denn auch schlagzeuger christopher tomson. dabei sprudelt >contra< ?ber an frischen ideen, es pr?sentiert sich dem h«rer kurz und straff durchkomponiert (zehn titel in 39 minuten), die songs setzen sich fast unmerklich mit so schwierigen themen wie verlust, angst und dem tod auseinander. ein gewagtes, ein gelungenes unterfangen. die aufnahmen begannen im januar 2009 in new york, nur zwei wochen nachdem die jungs von ihrer 18-monatigen welttournee zur?ckkamen.
auf >contra< haben verschiedene musikalische stile, kunstformen und philosophien ihren einfluss genommen: third wave ska, the hallelujah chicken run band, brasilianischer baile-funk, kongolesische daumenklaviere, repo man, reggaeton, bollywood, philip roth, beethoven, dancehall und die beastie boys wurden dezent und kultiviert verarbeitet.

although they formed in oakland, ca, in 2002, the saviours are a deliberate throwback to an earlier time and place, specifically great britain in the late 70s and early 80s. deeply inspired by the new wave of british heavy metal as well as first generation thrashers like slayer and early metallica, the saviours formed out of the ashes of a minor east bay thrash and screamo band named after the excellently monikered actor yaphet kotto...

ltd one sided 10 300 copies only, first come first served! track taken from originals 4. when i was growing up, the only rock record in the house apart from the beatles was a christian rock record: straight talker by bristol band amaziah, my dad was a huge fan. my brother and i listened to it each day, as our matchbox ferraris traced intricate road networks on the patterned living room carpet. soon we knew every word, wah wah solo and squiggly synth noise off by heart. we loved it. and who could thought fifteen years later, while picking through piles of junk in the shed we found this forgotten treasure and searched for the owners and finally gave it a release on our label. so paul and jez, along with dave steel, derek elliott, richard grinter, phil williams, gerald davies and keith loring – and most of all my dad - this is for you.

slowly but surely, a constellation of young artists have expanded around ali, basti, philipp santé. in the night, they share the same decks thanks to the newly created souvenir booking entity. during the day, they swap beats and samples in the studio of tiefschwarz located in prenzlauer berg, building up a new creative energy, which is giving birth to the 23rd release of souvenir on vinyl.adam port, re.you and rampa, already had their own shines this year on souvenir. now, its the turn of &me (front room, keinmusik) and fischer & kleber to release a new must-have record permeated with the best groove coming from the german capital city. on the a-side, &me brilliantly hurts with bleed. he punches on the left with an unstoppable drum, weaves on the right with an hypnotic loop, that stirs mental alertness up, barks his anger with a digital whouah going fast and forward and compelling any dancer to incredible footwork. knocked out! robert fischer & niklas kleber had in common an electronic liveact discokonzentrat (high nrising records) and a band spurv laerke before bringing in their new project, fischer & kleber. they set with berki on the flipside the singular but no less enjoyable soundscape of a cathedral under construction. lightening up with deeply felt and almost religious whispers, the shrilling noises of computer-generated machine-tool, the mechanical and cold precision of a pitched down digital rock-drill, the duo turns >berki< into a canticle of the new millennium
