it was only a short time ago when these 2 young up and comers made their respective debuts on our label and in the few months between then and now, they have gone on to skyrocket up through the ranks, conquering dancefloors, charts and dj crates-while becoming household names synonymous with quality and consistency.
florian kruse and nils nürnberg need very little introduction these days but for those that have been asleep or living under a rock, a good start would be to check their recent output on fine labels such as nrk, om, moodmusic, dessous and our very own dieb, to name a very select few. their first combined effort on the label has resulted in the >suerte ep<, a tight collection of deep as hell, tech infused house numbers heavily characterized by their attention to groove and addictive, seductive chord progressions that have become a hallmark of their production prowess.
to add some spice to an already sterling and stylized package, we have enlisted our good friend (and also mood music alumnus) alexander maier, to remix the titular >suerte< where he adds his considerable musical vocabulary to the proceedings, peppering a very tasty arrangement with piano chord stabs and throbbing basslines resulting in a gorgeous, summery house re-interpretation that has to be heard to be believed!
as if this werent enough, fresh from an impressive debut on nils and florians save room records we have been lucky enough to secure a percussion led, funk infused remix of >achieving balance< from bright new boys on the block io who round things off nicely and add another dimension to the >suerte ep<.

after the 1st release apache, made by agent! & sebbo, the labelheads of soulbox, one of the guys teams up with another guy from w³rzburg, marcel niveau. agent! & niveau bring us the hypnotic track batu caves to send us on a little spiritual trip. the original is for the likes of luciano, ricardo and dice and perfect for long-time sets, especially when the sun rises ,) you ll understand. also not to forget these 2 famous artists who made remixes, basti grub , owner of h÷henregler and the man of the moment in the nu house , kreon, they fit perfect to the soulbox-sound

supported by laurent garnier, ben watt, dj yellow, shur i kan, nils nurnberg, florian meindl, mark knight, axwell!!! looking through my harddrive i just realized that this track is more than 2 years old ... shame on us!!! a few people were lucky enough to got it sent back then and the feedback was already exciting! the original version is a pure deephouse anthem drenched with pure soul! starting off with a moody and dark filtered string it leads into a pumpin deephouse groove ready to climax into a beautiful rhodes chord progression and that lovely m.u.s.i.c. vocal. its a perfect blend between deephouse and soul - pretty rare these days and set to become a future classic!! fred everythings mix is slightly more on the disco tip, tight drums and arrangement and a perfect addition to this package. finally we have another colab between the 2 label heads - called electric girl. its a sweet little disco midtempo groover with the typical trademarks of those 2 guys! enjoy this beautiful release - many people have been asking for this for quite a while!!

nice price deal !!! the latest new comers from barcelona are sw eden born pow erduo of marco gegenheimer and jens rosengren aka gegenheimer & jenius. both of them are active in the spanish house scene and have been creating a havoc w ith their record label collective ourvision w hich released the excellent archimboldo from fellow sw ede axel boman. the tracks they offered to moodmusic have a simple message of floor dominance w ith musical values and they?ve proven to w ork fairly w ell on recent moodmusic nights at panorama bar and sonar. starting w ith basic shape, a tech-housey, almost early techno feel takes over w ith phasing keys and dry drumprogramming w ith a big break w ith lends a few notes from detroit city. cadaquÚs has a more house feel to it, still keeps the groove as main point w ith stabbing keys and a beautiful theme taking you on a trip to almost mr fingers territory. the closing track ips has been a sureshot favourite at the moodmusic hq since w e got it, a classic deep house track of pure quality w hich show s the musical roots of these talented producers. watch out

hot city is dropping some severely skewed house music, twisting it up with his own blend of jackin chicago house, 2step/ukg, and bass bumpers. with only two tracks sent out to a handful of the finest djs around in the past few months, he s secured two gigs playing out at wifey, certainly the most fun club in london at the moment, and managed to generate a fair amount of hype already:
- smash, this is a mega rave hit bro, nice one! - drop the lime (t&b / nyc)
- very nice, thanks for this, will def play it - hudson mowhawke (warp / glasgow)
- i really like both these tracks, kinda minimal garage, very cool - hannah holland (batty bass / london)
the tracks on this new 12 inch build on the momenetum, with two tracks of stripped down dancefloor killers - >yeah!< is a monster builder, all todd edwards style swing and tight edits with crazy deep kicks, chopped up vocals, old school piano stabs, soaring strings, and hands in the air breakdowns. already being played out by drop the lime (check his latest exclusive mix for fact magazine where he opens his set with >yeah!<). >head work< on the b side is on more of a masters at work/harddrive era tip - deep garage beats tripping over themselves, burbling oddity synths, shuffling snares and the weirdest vocal melody breakdown/build-up ever!
the originals are complimented on the 12 inch by two remixes - tvo takes yeah! to another dimension altogther with a head destroying 140bpm hardcore junglist remix. on the flip, san franciscos eats tapes take >head work< into the wonkiest area of minimalist techno, showcasing their totally unique take on future groove.
the ep has been mastered by the irrefutable shawn hatfield/twerks special touch, bringing out the strengths of each track and tweaked for that perfect crisp warm vinyl pressing.

even in these cold days danny howells keeps the summer vibe alive - for remix duties dig deeper hired german wunderkind johannes heil who is still causing a massive stir with his last release on shit happens.

two of italys most formidable electrosonic programmers, composite profuse & kobol electronics were handpicked by veteran covert intelligence agent wilhelm von erwache to decode the encrypted archives of sismi, the italian secret service, and bring to life these clandestine events onto a 12 inch vinyl disk. on the a side, composite profuse (minimal rome, bunker) uncovers his tracks, blackfriars bridge & patience and charcoals and sets them to an ominous electro soundtrack that his name is synonymous for. the b side sees kobol electronics (minimal rome) deliver two sonic binary programs, code01 & code10 that will devastate both internetworks and dancefloors worldwide.

for the 5th installment of adultnappers illustrious ransom note, we welcome into the fray paul kominek, otherwise known as pawel (dial/orphan ear) with two sublimely beautiful compositions of modern electronic music. there is not many words to describe the feeling of these pieces. they run deep into the soul of house and techno. moving, yet intelligent, pawels plaintive take on dance music is unique in sound, but profoundly universal in feeling, connecting to emotions that seem rare these days on the dance floor. with powerful peak time remixes by new yorks alexi delano and brendon moeller, ransom note part five should make some noise in the coming months. from the desk of adultnapper, as inspired by lines and curves… as you well know, parallel paths are foreordained entities of diversity. as they travel further away from their origins, the more attraction tends to set in, not as a spiritual mechanism, but, rather, as a physical replication or limitless mimicry. one trajectory makes reference to the other, leading to a barrier, a zero crossing, some sort of cessation of thought. lines become curves and act as waking agents for the soul as it approaches its limit. sometimes this process is disrupted, as is the case this time. i have lost something on the way and i seem to be stuck in the place where i lost it. i feel anchored here and need to find a way to move again. there is not much time.

having become a firm favourite of some of the best djs on the planet, delusions makes a welcome return with dog05 from the mighty 6th borough project. these guys can seemingly do no wrong at the moment putting out huge release after huge release on their instruments of rapture label as well as numerous remixes, edits and original productions on the likes of jisco music, phonica, deep freeze and delusions. how can i show you is a masterclass in slo-mo looped up deep disco house that will appeal to fans of mark e and of course the revenge. a hypnotic and grinding groove is what this little number is all about so play it loud and keep it slow. on the flip side we have soultourist (from our fave house label drumpoet) remixing miss world into a deep and driving filtered throbber with all the warmth and soul youd expect from these swiss master craftsmen. on aa2 youll find the ooft! remix of miss world going in a slightly darker, electronic direction introducing dubbed out synth stabs and a subsonic bottom end thatll warm your cockles

the sound of the first nice cat release is a natural output from the joyous mess that villalobos and los updates churn out every time they book a studio . a marriage of dark humour and twisted four on the floor this record leaves some unanswered questions , wich is a good thing these looped-based days. the fiat 600 remix and the rather respectful audio george remix make this delicious treat a triple one.

fine quality electro music is hard to find these days. while many labels focus on the latest trend, abstract forms continues its mission to release straight up electronic music with a good deal of substance. introducing >morphology<, an exciting new collaboration from finland consisting of michael diekmann who records under the alias crc and matti turunen otherwise known as näköradiomies.
morphology fuses early electro sounds with haunting melodies to create a deep blend of atmospheric future funk. it s a carefully conceived soundscape of contemporary electro music that is a perfect addition to the abstract forms catalogue.
strictly limited to 200 copies worldwide. vinyl comes in a plastic sleeve with a hand stamped paper insert.

successfully tried and tested on dance floors of all shapes and sizes throughout the world, these never before released cuts have rocked migs sets for a few years now. after countless requests from djs and dance music lovers around the globe, salted is delighted to deliver and share these rare little gems with you all!

rare and extended versions of these classics!

heavyweight vinyl. in this light and on this evening, the new album from editors, represents a significant step forward for the band following the huge successes of debut album the back room and the number 1 follow up an end has a start. there have been many changes to life in editors since an end has a start broke the band worldwide and established the then birmingham based four piece as one of the uks most prominent bands of recent times. bassist russell leech and guitarist chris urbanowicz are now resident in new york while singer tom smith has become a father. these changes added to the sense that in this light and on this evening is the start of a new chapter for editors and the band came together in london for the recording sessions with producer flood at the start of 2009 with a determination to push their sound into wholly new territory.

after his recent release on clone a made up sound (aka 2562) presents his new platform for his own beat freakery. it is no news anymore that dave huismans is one talented guy! his debut 2562 album was one of last years highlights ... and his new album set for early winter 09 will be not create a smaller buzz! in the meanwhile mr huismans also managed to squeeze out some killer tracks out of his machines for his a made up sound project! these 2 tracks will get a limited run on his newly started label. >rework< started out as a sneaky bonus remix but ended up as a killer techno track in its own right, with stomping 4/4 beats, an irresistibly simple 3 note chord melody and gut-wrenching sub bass. contrasting is >closer< on the flip, where a yearning vocal stab spirals around a warm synth line that just keeps on building over signature punchy broken beats and a big b-line, all the way until its climaxing breakdown. highly recommended!

after having it large with sweetzerlands mental groove, st. plomb has remained apparently calm for the past few years. but dont be mislead, st. plomb better known to friends and family as daddy wizard hasnt spent these years sunbathing and splashing in tanning lotion. instead hes been hiding in the studio, working on his tricks, refining his magic, distilling the purests and the rawests forms of house to achieve the alchemy of the perfect track the concoction has worked and brut! is proud to present the results: escape run and saturnic night access. serve pipping hot...

nice price deal !!! these two exciting new polish producers come to baroque off the back of their last release on blaubeat. fusion f was resident at the legendary club klatka in warsaw, their blend of tech house meets minimal house is setting floors alight this summer. >hero< is a slice of pure electronic class, with an equally stunning remix from pierre deutschmann.

phil kieran has been in the upper echelons of the electronic music game for more than a decade, but is only now releasing his debut album under his own name. known for rocking clubs and releasing a string of killer twelves, belfast-based phil has hooked up with german powerhouse cocoon in recent times. sven väths label is now about to release shh, a groundbreaking piece of work that will undoubtedly gain phil plaudits across the board. shh seems to not only reference every sound phil has ever loved in music, but is formulated in a completely fresh and futuristic way. listen carefully and you can detect elements of dub reggae, old hardcore like lfo, hip-hop, early 90s electronica such as autechre/black dog and other warp staples, as well as the futuristic techno that phil excels in. for the album phil went back to old sound lab recordings dating back to the 1950s and 60s. utilising some of these sounds in the initial construction, he built up tracks using a combination of old samples sourced from original and weird places and some live new instrumentation as well. there are live drums, some electric / acoustic/ bass guitar and live keyboard playing as well as some choice guest vocalists.

after almost a year hiatus the detroit grand pubahs are back with their detelefunk label. detelefunk being an abbreviation for detroit (det) electronic (ele) funk, they relaunch their imprint with a remixes series of some of their favourite producers remixing tracks from their last 3 albums. hence the title of the series being made up of words from all these album giving us the funtastic “buttfunkula and the remixes from earth”. this is the first of 2 volumes / eps that will offer new remixes, leading into a remix compilation featuring the finest remixes of the pubahs music from over the years. volume 1 sees the minimal originator himself, robert hood, take the reigns and remix the title track from the pubahs debut album >funk all y all<, while detroits underground resistance / interstellar fugitives dj 3000 takes one of paris the black fus first tracks >stalking you< (previously released on throw) and adds his albanian rhythms. finally, last but by no means least swedens samuel l session takes time out from producing for his own klap klap label to deliver this peak time dancefloor remix of the infamous >dr bootygrabber<. promising to take robert hood, dj 3000 and samuel l sessions on a galactic ass trip in their star ship was paris the black fu & the mysterious mr os way of getting them to do remixes. >now all i have to do is get them to deliver< comments paris from his secret lab >i do plan to bring them home after the remixes have been released. working with these artists has been a goal of ours for the past few years, and now that they ve been abducted may the funk be with all of us<

there seems to be a bit a mystery around this record... and let some of this mystery remain. these two remixes of a fairly obscure song are pretty well known to the public, as for the last year or so they were regulars both in live sets of jacek sienkiewicz, and dj sets of ricardo villalobos. right now these two artists share credits to this obviously outstanding release. >pilgrim< is a vital, mesmerizing, uplifting piece of magic. one can assume, telling from the unusual, muezzin-like chanting, that it comes from some forgotten oriental library record... in fact, it was written in the seventies by a respected polish composer and extraordinary vocalist to the words of 19th century polish poet. now you can hear its modern, not to say futuristic, interpretation by two of the most forward-thinking electronic musicians from two different sides of the globe.

the word >detroit< is one that is used far too often in todayÆs techno realm. it seems that as soon as someone puts a pad over the top of a 4x4 kick drum they have the right to file their music under >detroit techno<. soà when tracks like this arrive in your inbox with no accompanying information, well itÆs a breath of fresh air to say the least. these four tracks by new boy mick welch truly capture the essence of detroit, bringing to mind the classic works by derrick may, kenny larkin and even hints of influences a little closer to home, b12, redcell, kirk degiorgio and the rest of the applied rhythmic technology crew for example. highly recommended.

stunning new limited october missive - drawn from the well received new recession volume one mix cd. already making waves throughout thedubstep and techno communities, these tunes make the nifty stealth connection between well conceived and executed warehouse moves and thegrimey realities of the low end pressure in evidence here. one of the most futuristic twelves in an age - for fans of scuba - style innovation, slow house and deepest techno

nice price deal !!! played by the glitz, someone else, oliver klein, jenn, franco bianco, andy kohlmann, black vel, dj misk, dj wakko, half stereo, homebase, mandy jordan, markus kavka, paul hazendonk!
in his first 12 inch, emanuele porcinai offers 2 tracks that consists in pleasurable and sexy vocals within simple but smart grooves. a very important thing for him when making a track is to record an effective vocal, so these are ever an important part of the creation. le french brasserie remix of >helen< is an interpretation more powerful and housy, where the two eccentric producers can show their passion for vintage synths. tested on the dancefloor with a fantastic reaction of the public!

mechanism aka denver mccarthy is one of the first true pioneers of industrial tekno. these 3 trax have all been re-mastered for a fresh new sound, and have been a big influence on tekno & industrial hardcore. hard edge drums, trippy arrangement & live recordings of real life organic sounds make this music timeless & relevant today.

watch out for this one!
analog mode presents portugals techno man at the moment, a. paul!

ricardo jefferson is a producer and dj based in manchester, england. the four tracks on this ep demonstrate a distinctive style. the roots of his sound are in funk, disco, space rock, prog rock, but he has melded them into a sound that is more than just the sum of these elements. this is funky, bass-heavy, trippy techno for the dance floor. a1 a brutal truth. this is a big tune that builds relentlessly. the track has an inclusive, celebrational, feel which simply invites everyone to lose it on the dance floor. 124bpm. a2 persons unknown. this tune doesn t have the relentless build of a brutal truth. instead, this is a tune to drop when everyone on the dancefloor is in the zone and locked into the groove. a finely crafted trip created with multiple delays skittering around the sound field, anchored by the funky bass heavy groove. 123 bpm. b1 the egg part one. a track employing a tight kick drum of differing weights to propel the groove, overlayed with a circular keyboard motif. on the off-beat, add the processed sound of someone hitting a metal sheet, and viola! - one aggressively funky dance floor bomb! 123 bpm. b2 god of the machine. this track has a simple 4x4 kick and handclap pattern pinning down a delicious oscillating bass line, under a classic descending four chord circular chord progression. off kilter ride cymbals give the track its backbone, and fluidity. ricocheting handclap delays add dimension. sly stone would be proud of this groove. now get on the dance floor and strut your stuff! 119 bpm. the cover shows a still image from the music video a brutal truth directed by ricardo jefferson and laura lee.

new ep from detroit techno and graphics legend alan oldham.
following up the more experimental >johnny gambit 01: the prodigal son< graphic novel/soundtrack (pure18lp), alan d. oldham a.k.a. dj t-1000 gets back to basics with the >blaster ep<, phase two of the pure sonik records restart.
>blaster< kicks off the proceedings. a dirty, tracky, and bitcrushed statement of intent, >blaster< is a 130 bpm love letter to all the hard techno fans in germany and spain who have kept the faith and supported dj t-1000s international dates all these years, and the definitive statement that pure sonik records is back!
on the b-side, oldham goes electro with >i rock shit everyday<, a dark, dirty, detroit electro-groove inspired by one of his all-time favorite detroit electro acts, ultradyne. the ep closer, the lo-fi >machines<, is the sound of your laptop, tv, and coffee maker conspiring against you in dial-up modem code. what happens when your microwave starts thinking it can cook better than you? you better watch out...

played by patrick lindsey, wehhba, ko kimura, pablo bolivar, ...
a1) nop, the tokyo wunderkid of japanese house music, delivers a percussive and groovy remix of the title track >el cubo< (the cube), which has already been getting plenty of pre-release airplay during his sets at the famous ageha club. a2) dich himself goes for a more funky house style with minimalistic influences and top notch production. b1) >lovely lady< - a slightly more up-tempo piece of minimal tech-house that draws heavily on latin influences and even reggae to slowly build into a solid house groove full of dub like reverbs and delays. b2) final track >el camino del inca< is pure modern deep, minimal-tech with splashes of dub. from the long droning synth to the noise and ambience this is exactly what you’d expect richie hawtin to drop these days.

once again another masterpiece from the dynamic reflection squad in your face! this time the spanish hermanos exium are responsible to represent the fourth coming release!
they smash down the door with the title track , >labyrinth<, a massive dancefloor killer with a big hit potential! with this track exium brings up oldschool memories with influences of their modern sound. this is exium at his best!

perc trax returns with its 30th vinyl release with a split ep showcasing the works of both its newest and most established acts.
first up is ben gibson with 2 tracks that feature on his forthcoming perc trax album >in a realized luck of immanence<. both tracks instantly demonstrate what made jeff mills sign ben to his axis offshoot 6277. bens sound is a dense, atmospheric take on the now-classic uk techno sound of surgeon, regis, ruskin etc and both the rolling bass of >vanished between< and the sharp stabs of >wirklichkeit< prove that he is an artist to watch out for.
on the b-side label boss perc hooks up with the labels canadian connection metalogic to deliver 2 tracks that flit between broken beat and 4/4 rhythms with ease. both tracks feature an attention to detail that both perc and metalogic are known for with endless dubbed out synths and effects keeping the tracks interesting but never getting in the way of the crisp beats. these tracks have already been road tested around the world by perc in recent months and will be a key part of a launch party for this ep in toronto in october.

autodiscotheque return with a mighty release by one of their favourite maverick producers and djs danny berman. with releases on tirk, untracked, deep freeze and society, danny has made a big impression with his mixed up approach to production and djing. from the wonky house of the hot coins material released on tirk, to the more classically detroit outings under his red rackem moniker, danny is a music lover with an ear for the not so obvious and the left of centre musical territory.on this release which features both his musical personas simultaneously, the idea was to truly represent the difference between the red rackem and hot coins sounds on a single release, and to recreate an intense peak time feeling, but to do it from these two completely different scenes.place for me is detroit inspired heads down, cut up motown soul business, which pays homage to one of dannys favourite producers moodymann, and fits perfectly into that crossover space between slo-mo house and disco. chinese electro on the flip however, references that authentic early 80s new wave electro sound, and is influenced by yellow magic orchestra and recordings from new wave radio shows like belgiums liaison dangereuses

i ve been playing ortins track at big gigs for quite a while at peak times, with the advent & industrialyzer interpreting it its great to release these two fine pieces of work that have purpose and conviction says luke slater about the next release on his mote evolver label. the boundary pushing mind set slater brings to his own planetary assault systems creations is a key characteristic of the music he selects for mote evolver. this release from ortin cam is a prime example.

orlando riva sound (commonly abbreviated as o.r.s.) was a german group founded in 1977 by anthony monn and rainer pietsch. they released this seminal and hard to come by disco album body to body in 1978, which gets a timely reissue. the a side contains 2 of the best disco boogie tracks ever made in the shape of body to body boogie and moon boots. these versions differ from those compiled on the original ariola pressing, as they have been mixed and extended by disco legends bobby dj guttadaro and tom moulton respectively. the flipside contains another rolling deep soulful nugget sweet release (again mixed by bobby dj guttadaro), the heavy driving funk bomb disc mussorgsky, plus the sci fi freak out of dream machine. all killer no filler.

nice price deal !!! the songs on yachts debut album see mystery lights from the bouncy, burbling you cant take it with you screed the afterlife (which plays like a less spastic companion piece to the mae shis run to your grave) to the roller rink ready vocoder vocals of im in love with a ripper represent yacht at their most poppy. its a collection of stone jams that finds the band finally as hellbent on experimenting and expanding the boundaries of its sonic scope as it is on having fun. built on electronic foundations laser effects, skittering computerized beats, and spacey synth lines (or guitar riffs that have been tuned or distorted to sound like synths) these new songs are giddy with creative freedom while remaining tethered in service of their melodies. the vocal melodies are bright and buoyant, but delivered (by either band member, or in unison) in a chanted, oftentimes detached monotone that plays up the repetitive lyrics mantra like feel and adds a welcome undercurrent of slacker cool to their otherwise sugary optimism.

the om 15 year anniversary compilation is chok full of tasty treats. one of our favorites is this >the latest< by sygaire & defcon featuring capitol a. sygaire (sonar kollektiv, raw fusion) is the the moniker of roskow kretschmann, who has quite the resume of contributions to modern dance music culture. starting with his role as member of jazzanova crew, to his later offerings as kosma, forum, and integra (compost, infracom!), roskow is obviously a man on a mission to spread incredible music throughout the world. here he is with partner defcon (raw fusion, melting pot), the alias of one philipp wohlleben. as innocent as that name might sound, do not be fooled. defcon stands for defense condition 5, and dj defcon brings the heat like a missile in the night. together these two have come with what clearly translates as a respectful bow to the old skool days, presented in true double 12 inch extended mix fashion, and complete with vocals from none other than capitol a.

after the re release on clone and some hot tracks on lets pet puppies another one rescued production of marcus mixx from obscurity! mr mixx featuring project democracys is this dream for real? paired with 3 more of marcus tracks. these rare tracks were only heard mostly in and around chicago during the late 80s. is this dream for real? is a deep and moody chicago house track. deep, infectious bassline with a gorgeous female vocal, the kind of track that makes you instantly say, wtf? simple, timeless, effective. and so are the other three tracks. raw jacking house tracks just as we like it!
