wagon repair are excited to announce the latest ep from berlin based canadian mike shannon. the re-nag ep, his third wagon repair release and first production of 2009, is the latest in a long line of releases from the head of cynosure records, with his work having previously graced imprints from ~scape and num to richie hawtin’s plus 8 records. opener ‘darkstar 3000&#8242,, is a futurist techno stomp. engined by poked melodic tones and a prominent metallic hat, dissonant stealth melodies manoeuvre around percussion and punched bass. biding time to prolong suspense, both bass and key melodic journeys coordinate to climax in a tightly executed sensory assault. ‘sweets (tla mix)’ opens energetically with static percussive tones circling around a pummeling kick. a rapturous vocal takes lead, effervescing within a wind tunnel of wobbly bass melodies and dizzy pads to close. ‘sweets (acapella)’ is an abstract entity, with it’s sole vocal discernibly haunting in the absence of beats and structure. full of texture and space, this is one for the producers that will surely not go to waste.

sons of the dragon debuted last year on a mysterious white vinyl double out of detroit, they awake again to bring us >the journey of qui niu< and cast their firey wrath. the cv313 rework plays off the original version but adds a low end throb so deep it could shake the heavens, a rhythmic shuffle which begs you to move and a hypnotizing symphony of lo fi sonic destruction, its totally menacing. the new sqx project debuts with a killer, taking a different approach to the original, they use the synthesized textures as warm sonic fragments. its as if they were building a sonic puzzle but changing all the pieces around while assembling, leaving us with a rhythmic synth workout of the highest order, for your mind or the floor. a destined to be classic, do not miss

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.

it may have been fate that erphun s very first gig was on halloween, because his music is brooding, pounding, moody and transformative, as if from another realm entirely. his ability to build a mood is mesmerizing and transports the listener to that alternate spiritual level that his moniker infers. having spun around california with residencies for naked, flirt and hotel california and playing at 1015 folsom (san francisco), sevilla (las vegas), broadway (san diego), voodoo lounge (las vegas), risqu (las vegas, new year s eve 2004), and the shelbourne hotel (miami, winter music conference), erphun began to make his mark. erphun s music has been spun in clubs all over the world and is succinctly summed up by steve lawler as a deep, dark and underground unique sound that trademarks his pieces. with early releases on ingrooves, and ascension records followed by releases on viva music oliver klein s mutekki and audio therapy, his name is now instantly recognizable among the tech-house, minimal, techno world of spinning producers who globe trot his compositions to be dropped on every conceivable audience. the reaction of the listener to his slow, driving builds that weave between the almost symphonic-like movements of each of his pieces is always jaw dropping and is usually followed by an exclamatory siiiiiick! . erphun is also a highly sought after re-mixer for artists who want to hear the 4am version of their pieces. the only way to really experience this immense talent is to see him in action. a night of erphun s making heightens the listener s musical aesthetic and aurally illustrates his personal musical vision

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.

behind this german-sounding pseudonym hides a lyrical, subtle and ambitious techno. mondkopf reveals on this ep his most federative facet with a tracklist in which immediacy never sacrifices imagination. this combination of a techno basis, trancy hooks and electronica sound processing make these nuits sauvages (wild nights) ambivalent, conquering and melancholy. la dame en bleu, his major piece, is already an underground hymn. les oiseaux de balthazar, mixes vocal pads, bells and birdcalls in a fantasy techno universe on a dynamic tempo. the result, once again, sounds absolutely unique. nuit sauvage softens the layers to emphasis on crunchy riffs and strong kicks, to finally come back to an epic dimension, always around in mondkopfs songs. remix side, matzak got hold of the very mental christmas, keeping its electro spirit.

the international freakshow theatre is opening its doors for 2009s spring season. coming along with the sunny weather we bring you another minimal house weapon that is deep, dark and dangerous! the 3 producers who are responsible for chainletters ep belong to the next generation of the clubmusic business. these young guns are mirco violi, fabio gianelli & sercan. during the last year they already were able to proof that the sound they are creating is definitely more than capable of competing within the international clubmusic scene. with releases on imprints like underground limited, off or welt sounds they gained tons of positive feedback. the well balanced and textured grooves these guys deliver are all carefully crafted while the subliminal vocal samples and stunnin effects keep the perception fully occupied as well as offering various mixing opportunities in the process. on the flipside of international freakshow no.12 youll find another phat, tribalsih minimal housetune done by them called mugatu says as well as some more hypnotic house remix of get around by berlin based till von sein who also created some really successful tracks in the past on labels like dirt crew records, morris audio or trenton, that gained full support of various top names

after a recent guest performance on seuil’s eklo label, michael melchner - the young producer and dj from nuremberg - is back with another stunning ep for cargo edition. melchner is the resident-dj of the ‘kiss klub“ party series at nuremberg’s famous club ‘die rakete’, and music aficionados will have had their eye on this up-and-coming artist for a while now. this time around michael melchner dishes up three top-notch house tracks for us. “you understand“ is techhouse at its best, where he deftly holds and rides that balance between deepness and the dancefloor. a continously forward-pushing bassline is combined with a mysterious vocal sample and restrained breaks. „wooob“ grabs you with its devastatingly simple rhythm, while the bassline cuts through with a high dose of funk. topping the track off we have a vocal loop that shows off michael’s affection to the musical beginnings of house. this ties in nicely with the ep closer »just a skip« which reminisces over the sound of chicago. profound melodies, skillfully arranged vocal samples and a whole heap of soul suggest that michael melchner may just have produced a modern house classic. so again, just like on his first ep for cargo edition in may last year, michael melchner has managed to paint a musical portrait combining the present and the past into one classic moment.
