tal m. kleins >house on the left< is the second single from his forthcoming exhaustasaurus lp. the name of the composition implies the track is left-field of house. jazz guitars lead the way for brooding pads and syncopated synths over deep beats. in short: a great moody tune!
comes on special coloured vinyl, somewhere between marbled and picture disc - a true beauty in sound & looks!

early support by session victim, motorcitysoul, darve clarke, dj sneak, john tejada, mr. g, catz n dogz, deetron, joris voorn, luca doobie, secret cinema, patlac, laurent garnier, roberto rodriguez, aki bergen, haito and more.
scope is back now with his first vinyl on night drive music. with a jacking mixup between chicago and detroit influenced house music he is directly aiming for the dancing legs.

dokument .01 features two tracks of beatless inner city industrial ambient. >strung valve checkout< is a gorgeous 11 minute sequence of piano-fuelled drones. >dada fish sticks< is equally affecting, a lulling industrial classical mesh of sound with hints of melody. what makes this release particularly special is the combination of talents behind the music. dadavistic orchestra is a collaboration between the black dog and 3 former members of the psychick warriors of gaia. both are recognised innovators in electronic music who have been hugely influential and popular throughout their careers. the two groups have been close for many years, and their musical collaboration has evolved over the last year, with dokument 1 being just the first work to be released.

the latest addition to the ostgut roster, detroits ryan elliott, is a recognised force on the international dj circuit - yet his productions are few and far between. now re-located in berlin, the new berghain resident contributed his track >abatis< to the >fünf< anniversary compilation, setting the tone with dark and brooding techno undercurrents. these two new tracks bring ryans production skills to the fore, both slow burning and refined recordings that show off his love for bassline-led, straight forward club tools.

bassarani in your face again! heres part two of the ongoing roma meets running back saga. conveniently appearing in a white inner sleeve (slip it into the retro-futuristic telescopic picture sleeve that you hopefully already have),the final frontier/pigna/nature captain steers his ship into a safe harbour. three tracks of hardcore space music and magic carpet melodies: >white dwarf< appears as the final link between frankfurt trance and tribal house, >black dwarfi&#770, is its beat-heavy brother (for dj use only!) and finally we come full circle with i&#768,colliding stars pt. 2<.science aint no fiction.

techhead toolbox is a vinyl series concept brought to you by techhead recordings based on the idea that the most basic tools are simple machines. the audible result aims in crossing the line between techno as we know it and techno as we dont. each record is inspired by the usage of different tools and each tool plays a significant role in each record.the fourth release orrible saw by type 1 and tom laws is another killer, feat. two remixes by space djz and semtex! get into the concept!

>world music< is the second 12 inch from washington, dc based protect-u. as the title suggests, protect-u grooves to global soundz, but this newest release–once again brought to you by future times–is total mutant house/techno. on the a-side, synth lines bubble like 80s-style francis bebey, then burn up into a space-pulse overdrive. the flip, >u-uno<, is an underwater electro-sitar dream straight outta 24th century india, followed by a slo-mo dub of >world music< that slips back and forth between digital jamaica and european nu-romance.

big with julien chaptal, luciano, gel abril, mihai popoviciu, keinemusik crew, nekes, affkt, meat, anthony collins, luca doobie, mirco violi, varoslav,.. dj sneak-fans, check this one out! the connection between off and italy has always been strong, now another promising act from the italian capital rome will be added to the off roster. >mad & son< is a massive floorburner, possibly one of the most danceable tracks ever released on off. a huge classic italo-disco-sample cut up, looped and accompanied by self-played keys, a massive groove and killer bassline. off-regular dj w!ld delivers one of his classical linear and toolish mixes, taking back the use of the discoloop and focusing more on the groove. >phased< works quite similar to >mad & son<, also working with a discoloop but adding raw spoken-wordvocs. dancefloor-destruction guaranteed. >whats going on< is probably the most sneak-ish tracks of the bunch, an intense filtered loop, jacking beat, techhousy groove and driving vocals.

this record is the result of a collaboration between roman ruins (graham hill) and the artist hunter mack. originally launched as a kickstarter project which financed this two-song 7 inch vinyl record along with a limited art print, it is now available to the general public.
comes on orange vinyl, including code for digital download.

together with matthias tanzmann and the >freude am tanzen< crew, daniel stefanik belongs to the most reliable initiators of electronic dance music in east germany. the fact that the readers of groove magazine have voted daniel one of the best newcomers in 2010 n&#771,,,,,, despite his more than 75 releases on mobile&#768,,,,,,e, statik entertainment, moon harbour or dessous n&#771,,,,,, may be due to his fantastic remix of the ubertrack >no worries<, that has been played, together with butch s original version, on literally every deck between ibiza, frankfurt and london in the past months.

support by kink, dave clark, deetron, dirt crew, joris voorn, and.id, alex celler, martin eyerer, nic fanciulli, roberto rodriguez, oscar, gunnar stiller and more.
this killer release by echonomist proves to be one of his most diverse and promising attempts as he switches in between dance styles like houdini. the collaboration with dans mon salon in isolation is a wondering imaginative road trip into the avenues of detroit, driving in a black car as the boomy rhythmic sequence meets with high end pad strings, a haunting stuck acid bass-line and the vocals of a tortured soul seeking salvation. techno structure with modern tools.

first official 2562 release in over a year, marking the launch of his new when in doubt label. two heartfelt low slung boogie anthems – a taster of things to come. limited to 300 copies for the world on blue vinyl in hand printed sleeves. no digital. no reappearance on future vinyl. 2562 aka dave huismans - from the hague/holland, in berlin/germany – is known for his releases on tectonic recordings as well as 3024 and usually gets classified somewhere in the wasteland between cutting-edge bass music, techno and house. when in doubt is his new imprint, aiming to release personal, formula-free music

zckr02 is a limited release of 450 pieces which are hand-numbered and available only in vinyl. this new release is from a young and talented bremer artist named playmodul and it also marks his début on zckr records. he has been a core part of the zckr label from its birth, which has bloomed in this hanseatic city. playmodul performs powerfully both live / djsets at his favourite house/club: the zucker. his deebut single from zckr records starts with the ep canula, a wonderful dream journey between electronicfields and deep waters.

following the shock success of t. williams >heartbeat<, voted #3 dance track of the year by us itunes, local action returns for 2011 with the debut 12 inch by contakt.
contakt hails from the midwest, but now lives in new york, where he helps run the acclaimed turrbotax® parties. the sinden-championed >not forgotten< is an ideal introduction to the balance he gets between detroit techno and contemporary underground club music, with huge galloping drums and fiery synths, while the b-side is dedicated to a stunning remix by rolando (underground resistance / ostgut-ton), and a real sleeper hit in the dark, stabbing >rhodophyta<.

after the success of its first release >zahyara ep<, electronical reeds naturally continues to work with the belgian duo optional feast and always with a selection of choice remixers. indeed, after mirko loko and ecco on first release, optional feast is remixed now by pablo cahn and tmp. with these two artists, the label stays true to its spirit which is the alliance between the names of renowned and young talent.

whenever you talk about polish electronic dance music, then there is no way around jacek sienkiewicz. we have to admit, we are pretty proud to have him on board for our next release on numbolic unlimited!
>magic mountain< is a real stunning & sophisticated solid ep. recognition s labelhead intrigues with extraordinary attention that can only come from a history of many years. his soundpatterns find the right balance between order and messiness and he knows exactly when to take things out and when to bring them back in.

iberian records comes out of a hibernation period with the a series of >tax haven< eps. this first ep comes from a group of producers located in the barcelona bass enclave and who have been some of the main players in the monthly b.low events there. dedicated to what the label describes as bass n groove, this ep contains three varied and original sounding tunes with different bpms suited to the leftfield of various bass music fields (dubstep/funky/future garage etc).

after the big succes of hi tech booty, we searched for some really special guys out there to put hand on ahmets bomb. well here it is. a1 comes from maetrik which was a strong desire of ahmet and for sure an excellent choice. he totally brings in his own style while getting a little bit closer to the darkside of the track. a2 is a special collab between rainer, which we know from the last regular stock5 record together with cesare vs disorder and viudez, a mexican guy that seems to have a very nice influence to the production style. the vocal is very present but placed, arranged and transformed geniously. for sure a weapon! b1 is written by our special friend chris sylvester aka inxec. starting with a very housy groove, it falls quickly into a hypnotic mood that is unique in inxec productions. he really knows what the dancefloor requires and for this we are very happy to have him again in our release roster. b2 presents a very new and fresh artist called rico casazza. he interprets the track in a very detroit way, works verz little with the vocal but hits it very perfectly for the sense of the track. after this debut on our imprint you can be sure to hear more of this young guy in the next time!!!

danish producer martinez rarely fails to surprise club music lovers with his versatile views on techno and house. his very special enthusiasm enables him to seize new musical territory with every release. with his debut record on cadenza, his house sound develops another depth, a more general view of the ever evolving tension between life and music. the mzuzu ep is all about bass. the bass is all around, the bass gushes into every corner of the club, it pervades concrete and iron. while the low frequencies deal ruthlessly with architecture, they are kind to us humans. the basslines put the dancers in a conforting state of hypnosis which might be an unconscious reminder of the long gone time when one still rested in ones mothers womb. it arouses the memory of a state when one is completely merged with the surroundings. martinez reorganises the structure of house music: the lashing grooves cease to be the center of the tracks. martinez moves the heartbeat of the music from the beats to the bass. its firmness releases the other elements of the tracks, creating a free-spirited feeling. freed from their regular task the grooves are enabled to be rough and open. instead of trying to control the crowd, they ravish us with their liberating energy. the tracks rarely need anything else. the icing on the cake consists in tiny vocal samples. creating an irritating athmosphere, they put us in a state of constant curiosity. disolving completely into the flow of the tracks, the human voices become pure sound. >mzuzu chant< & >adagio< are for the beautiful moments when the dancing crowd detaches itself from time and space

gb returns with >the xpander ep< fresh from his recently released >interprets…< project. here he flips styles & produces in the realm of electronic dance & ministers the marriage between analog synthesis & prayer ->the xpander< & >the dreamer<. hot!

aardvarck comes with >gloom<, an offshoot of his highly successful >bloom< imprint. >gloom< is the second split effort between aardvarck and dutch beatmaster kubus (opgezwolle, top notch). it features aardvarck on an oldschool techno vibe with deep and greasy beats plus his signature style breaks. on the flipside kubus delivers three insanely loud and bass heavy bangers. limited white label!

the new burek release, yako/leko, finds kink trying to step away from common club-oriented production and present himself in a totally different light. yako is a dance mutant somewhere between speed garage, house, rave and dubstep that rips the dancefloor apart with its bassline and sends the crowd into a dancing delirium!

patrick rasmussens musical worldview goes beyond the adjectives that are continuously used to describe his music - eclectic, accomplished, experimental. he is a restless journeyman who, as raz ohara, has sojourned in collaborations with electronica luminaries such as apparat and luomo, and has penned solo work of electronic downtempo, acoustic, folktronica, and various points between. most recently, under the guise of the odd orchestra, he changed course again and crafted two albums, raz ohara & the odd orchestra and ii, both explorations of hazy, pastoral, avant-garde pop, grounded by rasmussens soulful and heartfelt vocals.

with her self titled debut, ana helder bolts out the gates with the comeme party approved classic >complicado< - a morphed track of epic proportions that bring the dive of menacing techno together with the fine line that lies between disco and house. >buena punteria< is extreme body music with a tremendous strobe lit inducing rhythm. >el groove de tu corazon< is full of life - a special track a good dj knows how to use and create a magical moment during the night. >next club< is a frenzy. the inevitable and seducing bass line, anas vocal with the grooviness of chicago house and colombian champeta, making this tune the likely candidate for the most obviously dance floor _hit_ on her astounding debut ep.

a somewhat mysterious collaboration between three people from varying parts of the world is finally pieced together after being lost and found over the last two years. the final result being two stripped down and uncompromising tracks that go from chicago to detroit and beyond. also included is legowelts remix of comeback dust which takes the original and adds his signature chicago smudge sound to the mix.

bigbait006 - bigbait006 explores the undefined space between elektro, house und dub-step. on this four-track-vinyl-ep s-max, peter clamat, 2=&#824,,, geweih and citizen funk mingle together to make a statement on electronic dance music. bigbait006 is actually a vinylized idea – the title occurred to the two citizen funks during a studio session in france in 2009. around the head note >dj killed 90 people< the four tracks cristallized into a record in the subsequent 12 months. each records cover is hand-printed individually and therefore unique

shakarchi & straneus are faik and daniel, two bffs from gothenburg who are making some of the most catchy, emotional and well crafted dance music we have heard in a long time. both had been involved in music for a while when they started working together at their hometowns top tapas joint, manana. in between washing dishes and serving patatas bravas, the boys would burst out short tracks and sound experiments in the makeshift studio they had set up inside mananas cloakroom. this led to a debut 12 inch on malmo based geography recordings and now comes their five track ep >dodskallar och korallrev<: studio barnhus second release, the best swedish house record since jesper dahlbacks >what is the time mr. templar?<, something we are immensely proud of being able to release.

tolle frische 4-track ep - wir freuen uns auf mehr von herrn josh!
vinyl und cd im premiumpack.

short about the label: a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we are gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it… im very glad to introduce yet another member to out internasjonal >family<. mathew senick aka mathew leutwyler. mathew got in touch through the web from mexico and it took us only a brief listen to this troika of wonderful sounds to convince us. now decide for yourself if theres something wrong with my ears….. ps: my computer tells me hes had releases out on perspectiv and traum, ill definitely investigate further, so should you

the second volume follows the story with the same phylosophy of the first one. different visions between techno, electronica/idm and electro. tracks generated by ideograma, arcanoid and miguel mendoza but now we introduce a new tesla agent: shadow runner. hes here to provide a dark and deep powerfull techno track.vintage electronics, future classic tracks, the ancient methods for the world of tomorrow, the tesla agents are here to control the voice of the energy. video: http://vimeo.com/17881668

second release from lepizig / germany based doumen records comes in re-painted sleeves of various old records. great record, file somewhere in between ambient / deep / triphop / leftfield - or better dont file it at all and just enjoy your flight!

for the second release on his own hardrive imprint, terror danjah is joined by joker and nottingham bassline don illmana. a-side >gully goon estate< happened via the power of the internet, td and joker had long spoken about working together, and danjah eventually initiated the collaboration when he sent the jkr the audio stems to his classic >zumpi hunter< riddim. joker reciprocated with the parts for >gully brook lane<, and after much back-and-forth between the two instrumental grime heavyweights, the >gully goon estate< was blueprinted.

first on decks.de!! an outstanding record filled with a harmonic fusion of surprising musical contradictions.
a: ooh zoot: twinkle-toed minimal house spiced up with a jazz-flavoured funkiness. yet turmspringer easily manage to avoid the risk of staying superficial by flavouring the tune with with a unique strangeness.
b1: ooh zoot (laufmasche remix): the remix by laufmasche gets back to the essentials, produced with an elegant analogue feeling dominating the track and leading to an excessive peaktime eruption.
b2: in between 2 cigarettes: berlin based duett turmspringer tickles out the abstract minimal techno undertones >in between 2 cigarettes< garnished with vivid background noises. massive dancefloor capability!

following a rapturous response from all quarters for his debut begin 12 >optical holiday<, james has taken the accolades on board and got back in the studio for release number 2 safe to say he definitley doesnt disappoint ! velocity is another balearic beauty in every sense of the word, already championed by the legendary moonboots & balearic mike (recently played on tim sweeneys beats in space show to much speculation !) and hotly tipped by the handful of players whove received upfront copies. its the musical equivalent of feeling the sun on your face, the crashing of waves on the warm breeze and sand between your toes for many of you james will need no introduction, being the chemical brothers tour dj for many years, as well as the longstanding resident at bugged out during its early manchester days and back to basics in leeds, he opitimizes everything wonderful about a resident dj, paid to make the main guy look good, but often infinitely superior at the job ! as youd expect james musical knowledge is vast, and a firm grounding in the vibrant manchester music scene means he wields it at will, each and every weekend proper

tolle frische 4-track ep - wirfreuen uns auf mehr von herrn josh!

with his second release >straßenkinder ep< marc rempel is once again underlining and still defining his unique style. the four track vinyl with its varied sound is a mix between pushing forward neo-house and very nice techno music.

well rounded are extremely excited to announce the imminent unleashing of the 2nd instalment in our r&b refix special series. ladies and gents - cash antics vol 2. this time round we bring you 4 separate artists take on remaking r&b in their own inimitable ways. first up deadboys >fireworks< edit has elicited a massive response already on forums and blogs, its simple house framework lending extra soul, gravity and impact to the beautiful vocals and piano. incredibly effective and affecting stuff. on track 2 gongon & bad autopsy (ptn / ramp) showcase their stripped back luminous garage informed sound on >mag (remix)<. the contrast between the bare bones beat, warm sub tones, hovering chords and earnest vocal make this a highly addictive tune. watch for future releases from these guys. flip the plate for skinnz and his steamy half-step selection >turn u on<. already a regular feature in deadboy dj sets, this wastes no time in seducing the listener with a breathless panting vocal riding a bumping beat, bouncing bass and sweaty synth work. this tune is hot and heavy! finally gatto viola & doc daneekas >backstabbin angie< wraps things up with nakedly emotional vocals riding a uk funky updated take on a classic 70s philly soul groove. a natural closer for a fantastically varied ep united with a common purpose - to drop honey-dipped r&b voices and vibes into the epicentre of new uk bass music fusions.

strong collaboration from bjak (eargasmic, realdeep records) and janet cruz (velophone, realdeep records) for this >bleesing in disguise ep<. opening with the magic of >your love< where janet & bjak are doing a wonderful duet with a really infectious chorus set to stay in your head for a long time. on the flipside, above smoke makes his beat less interpretation, hot beats and hypnotic chords. to close the ep, a little house gem called >free 2 love<, greatly performed by bjak in a melancholic vibe between chicago and l.a.

massive one from numbers that really does shows the connections between early 90s detroit and chicago and the current bass heavy house sounds coming out of london. getting plays from a diverse amount of djs too with kode9, shake, boys noize and minimal house guy luciano giving it props.

retrofit reaches release no. 4 with a solo endeavour from boss jay shepheard that truly encapsulates the labels mantra of referencing vintage house, disco and techno but laying it in a sheen of contemporary sonic dynamism. this is more than evident on the expertly paced >all over my nord< which is driven by a richly elastic analogue bassline riding the slick syncopation. a surfeit of melodic stabs imbues the track with real energy whilst the gradual rise to dominance of a pad wash drenched in detroit atmospherics adds the requisite emotion! this is complemented by the much more immediate >string theory< which opens the b side with a master class in future retro jacking house business whilst >kuderskis groove< bridges the gap between filtered disco aesthetics and deep house bpms with nonchalant ease. prime dj business once again from the retrofit camp.

toni rios left his mark performing big festivals and the hottest european clubs, but apart from that he also operates very successful as a producer and runs his own recordlabel soap records.based on preious positive collaborations and a general good vibe between toni rios and blufin, this fresh ep is gonna be released on blufin. yesss !!!complete package with two originals, magory (aka tom schön & rob strobe ) remix, an excellent rework by m.in.

premium edition incl maxi cd and 12 inch vinyl ... aquarell with their first vinyl on night drive music. this 4 tracker is a mixup between finest techhouse and deephouse and always aiming on the legs of the dancer. bombastic rhythms, bouncey grooves and driving elements. made to dance, made to freak out, made to burn the floors.

featuring: pounding grooves, dijj, kataconda, wraith. between the deep, hypnotic, percussive rhythms of londons legendary pounding grooves and the squishy, squelchy, bio-rhythmic beats of the asrx crew, this album is sure to keep things interesting on the late-night dance floor. lawrie immersions original version of >ice< is accompanied by 3 remixxes (plus a digi-release only bonus track) by the asrx crew: kataconda, wraith, and introducing asrxs newest addition, dijj.

sea power & change is a pseudonym for seminal portuguese producer tiago, a multi-talented musician and dj with his attention split between many musical endeavors, this self-titled ep marking his departure into yet another territory. these are four melancholic songs, each independent in mood yet collectively bringing to life a beautifully vague array of contradictions. with sea power & change, tiago taps into our perverted subconscious, developing a cinematic approach by coupling tragic pianos with slow-motion basslines, slinky guitars against industrial drums and grandiose synthesizers over tropical percussion, all bathed in pornographic overtones

born in chile but raised in sweden, alexi delano, with fellow swedes like cari lekebusch, adam beyer, jesper dahlback, joel mull and others, became part of some of the first wave of swedish electronic music producers that made a name for themselves in the mid 90s, releasing on techno labels such as plus8, missile, primate, hybrid, svek and many more. his style dwells in the perfect balance between shiny minimalism and dark vivasious techno, which is exactly what you can expect from his brand new ep for leena >un do me<. as a long term friend of mobilee, and also an artist who’s productions fit well with many of our artists dj styles and tastes, its a great pleasure to finally release one of his productions on leena. both tracks on the ep >un do me< and >watch out< come with a powerful punch and high energy. with more than two decades on the stage, hes an artist that is certainly showing no intentions of slowing down. we hope you enjoy this!

the ep reminds us why we love techno so much, fans of mills, hood, dehnert and dettmann will adore. a perfect cross over between detroit and berlin signature sound.!! the title track hits us with a heavy metallic stab which quickly lock us into the groove as the underlying bass tones start to twist and turn our bodies without self control into a must have dancefloor friendsy an essential chord-driven deep techno cut, keeping it minimal yet packed full of funk.

played by ellen allien, koljah, bryan zentz! amam records is pleased to announce its seventh release, a joint effort between avatism of london and the selph of milan – including a remix by veteran producer dan curtin – for a well rounded tech-house vinyl ep
