pinknoize are a fresh production duo from west london with this release seeing them lay down some dancefloor friendly grooves which get locked into a soulful cycle of talking synths and playful percussion. like morgan geist topped up with a big dose of glitch juice and a bit of skandi- disco flavour thrown in, radical specs will suit funk lovers with its drunken grooves and space-laden atmospheres. high grade big-wig tom clark leaves all the big noises at home and turns up with an introspective almost sarcastically playful minimal work-out on his rmx while hot talent lee mortimer turns in an altogether more cranking and snarling electro tinged house mix, stretching the squelches and bleeps of the original over a dance floor friendly banger.

forteba was born and raised in hungary where he chooses the occupation of an electronic music producer at the age of eighteen. his early compositions were settled near breakbeat and chill-out area but he soon found his passion in straight rhythms and arrangements inspired by german deep-house stuff. he likes to embed various elements of dub and ambient into straight clear rhythms, so his borders of style are hard to define. he produced some successful singles in his home country as >the garage< together with gábor pasztoriális and got released at hungary-based underground labels……

incl boys noize mix!! deep & cool electronic techhouse tune! brill female vocal

jay west and christian mallloni have joined together to create a hybrid filter funk sound all of their own. the original reaks havoc on the dance floor creating serious synth sweeps and bass drops to keep this track versatile and improvisational throughout. the vocal sample quirky as it is rings in your head while the percussive rhythm and killer bassline dri this piece home. nightshift boss man hipp e steps up for the b side with a new style and brings down the house. extended peak time mix here with big synth rides, crispy rhythm and big kick. wicked breakdown riddled with bits from the original and ever expanding sonic modulation takes this cut to the limit

collaboration between mika vaino & ilpo vaisanen of pan sonic and alan vega from suicide with experimental and deep electro trax from 1998 on this mute sub-division..

only unreleased new tracks from dj deeon and slugo....though he s revered among chicago djs and around the world as the original master of ghetto dance music, deeon started small, on chicagos south side. he sold his dj mixtapes in the parking lot where he lived, and played house parties in the projects. these crowded living room parties started the feeling and inspiration for the sound deeon produced, music he simply refers to as, >for the strippers, for the street<. while tracks like >accelerate< on dance mania were doing well overseas, he was getting little support or play from local chicago clubs. deeon calls ghetto house the >stepchild of chicago house<. eventually the incredible response from his music forced the clubs to concede and play his records. these >techno with a ghetto edge< tracks have found way to the decks in clubs around the world. deeon found his home on chicagos own dance mania label, where he released hits like >let me bang<, >who you wit<, >da dick suck< and >the freaks<. deeon is currently signed to databass records, which is rereleasing most of his back catalog with new remixes!

special limited edition 10 inch record from label heads the sound republic, on an ultra high quality pressing with full jackets and 2 super hot joints, making this a record for the collectors as well as the disc jockeys who have come to rely on tsr for slammin dancefloor material. a return to their roots in funk and jazz, the a side get loose (take a breath) hits with absolutely crushing beats, a running bassline, and a sax bit that has every partygoer running to the dj booth whenever the track gets played asking what in the good god they are hearing! flip the cute little guy over for funkyard junk, a tune that starts with a garbage can percussion jam that eventually works up in to some good old down home southern funk, complete with hand clappin, foot stompin hoots and hollers and yet another infectious guitar hook that can only be described as good times house music. these two funky cuts still have a fresh and modern sound while maintaining that good ole chicago vibe that sends the dancefloors in to a tizzy. receiving massive support from the heavy hitters of the underground, raoul belmans, dj mes, diz, justin long, dj heather, and bryan jones amongst others were caning the hell out of this at this years wmc. dont sleep on this extremely special limited edition pressing of the fifth spatulacity record, yet another quality minded release from some one of the most consistent names in house musics new school

twisted tech house and percussive disco grooves fused together by new yorks hottet new producer talent!! this is part 1 of 2

>acid wiss `l`< ist wohl einer der bekanntesten oberklassiker von dj skull !!

bobmo is a young (17) producer hailing from the hyperactive city of paris via the even more hyper city of bordeaux. bordeaux is a pretty cool place and, hanging out with the right crowd, going to the right club, and listening to the right radio show, bobmo got into detroit techno, miami bass, electro and, most importantly, chicago house

wagon repair welcome a new artist to their ranks in the form of italian minimal master luca bacchetti. after a host of releases on italian label tenax, spawned from the cult club of the same name, this is a heavy dose of entrancing minimal - equally suited for the dancefloor or the late train ride home. a side >rolling brooklyn< pushes the envelope a bit further, a busy and investigatory track driven by sniffing snare sounds, moist synth balloons and screeching metallic accents. ascending from chaos to minimal bliss. distinctly urban, b side >what ever< progresses defiantly amidst reverb laden howls and sirens, throbbing to climax with stabbed bass and rolling percussion in an inpenetrable surge to the senses. final cut >flat mates< keeps up the pace. led by a dizzy synth haze and fueled by a tight house rhythm, luca adds acoustic metal drum sounds into the mix to broaden the tone.

the man with a 1001 aliases is back again under his own name on his home label music man. >moog on acid< is already playlisted by richie hawtin, adam beyer, joel mull, michel de hey, dave clarke... >horny< on the b-side is at least as big. total killer ep!

dj jeroenski is one of the biggest talents of the dutch club scene and not only a hugely popular dj in his home country but also a fast rising international producer. jeroenskis latest offering on device records literally has lust for life written all over as it oozes with plenty of feel good energy.the electronic mix is an upfront slice of instrumental house with punchy beats and an electro spiced melody. the original is the smoother version and creates a vibe that will go down well with the more soulful.

after the smashing >treat me bad ep<, agnes is coming back home with a four tracker on minibar. the swiss groove seeker comes here with a few older tracks. four tracks on which mr. cabanne got a grip once at agnès’ home sweet home, listening to older works. all cuts where produced between 2003 and 2005. the ep is groovy, reducedly sweet and incredibly deep.

big with aquaviva, oxia, huntemann , tuomas salmela from finnland is no stranger to the dance world. besides running his own phonogenic audio label, he still finds time to put out records on other labels like 2020 vision or get physical. his style could be described as scandinavian electro soaked housemusic – it always contains a certain dose of melody and rump- shakin drums. swedish taboo is his view on contemporary techno in the vain of border community or stephan bodzin productions……

when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

polished diversed 4 tracker! from the hypnotizing gino soccio esque elctronic funk of power to create to the sample tweaked funk of home tonight on to the soulfoul sax bounce of speak loud and finishing with the steamy james brown influenced jam eat funk

here it is. the follow up to daze maxim s fabulous 12inch entitled >simply driving gold< (hello004) which is without a doubt one of the most stunning releases of 2006. on this ep daze hits you again with a funky, bleepy flow to make you bounce. >pull absurde< - the opening and title cut - is a dry, hard hitting, n driven track, accented with daze s typical vocals and breakdowns from outer space. a real bumper. the flipside holds a rough percussive and hypnotic trip - take me home. with this piece mr. maxim proves again his highly individual taste and takes us into a deep journey through the endless world of his musical spectrum …. listen carefully. welcome to planet pull absurde

finally we finished the paperwork and hung up the artwork to dry so the first release >upon you< catalogue-number 001 is ready to chill on the decks. the rough part of founding a label is now behind phage, marcus meinhardt and mr. h. with >upon you< they have managed to carve their own home-base out of the wood of berlin-club floor boards and thus signed their decleration of independance. here we go with a solo-production from phage - up to now co- producer of luna city express, daniel dreier, pan-pot and anja schneider - who burned on vinyl a three track bomb to start the journey !! dj support: chloe, troy pierce, jennifer cardini...

theodor zox is no exception and after a couple 12inch on morris-audio, releases and remixes on his home labels tic tac toe and 3rd floor he is now on the ramp to be >the man with the groove<! minimal yes… but funky even more!!! rolling bass lines, driving chords and a great sense for arrangements, he is spoiling us with 3 amazing tracks! run away and system of play are 2 typical zox s cut! sharp hh and fat snare sounds with some weird abstract synth lines and vocal samples, that just gives to the whole thing coherence and personality! 2 solid dj tool to use with no moderation! question suggestion on the b-side is for us a masterpiece! all theodor s musicality and also his ability to make people dance are in this track. it s deep and it has such of a strong character that it can be dropped at any moment and it will get you anyhow and… every-time! a great bass/synth hook line with some oriental melodies… no clichés, just good shite!

the latest name to check from french label ed banger records is the crunk and grime-loving chanteuse uffie. born in miami and raised in hong kong, the 18-year-old mini-popster now calls paris her home. a self-professed ever-ready >hot chick<, uffie reckons her approach to music is pretty radical. her tracks, often performed in a wannabe english accent, have a deliberately staid anti-flow delivery that walks a fine line between electro and nu-skool rap... produced by mr oizo (f-com) & feadz (bpitch control). big tune !!

toni vokado stands for dry but inventive plocker-rave. on his upcoming 12inch >um die eigene achse< eav018 vokado continues with his pithy style of his previous releases on electric avenue recordings and brings it to another level. at first you might think it is minimal techno but than his playfulness and sound collages pushes forward and you realise: this is strong and rave compatible - an audioplay at home a call to dance in the clubs: microscope rhythm

good song writing and a keen melodic ear set ludo and his new emotive composition apart. hectorine is a womans name and from the sounds of it ludo is in lust. remixes are served up by new school minimalist alland byallo and in house jet setters audio soul project. alland keeps the epic pads from the original weaving in and out of his surgically designed bouncy groove. on the flip asp get down to business with a remix that would’ve been right at home on their seminal community lp. the song is essentially re written with new music and drums. this rendition could almost be mistaken for a track on one of todays fashionable labels except for its lack of dogma and cliché

australian producer deepchild drops the second single >no disgrace< from his new album >lifetime<, a dub heavy slab of techno soul featuring the vocals of barbados-born mc ras roni with the usual intricate programming found in all deepchild productions. on the a-side jimpster under his audiomontage guise delivers a remix he concedes to be >fucking slamming, maybe one of my best yet< combining a stripped back techno structure with chunky rolling bass and heavy soul in a devastating dancefloor weapon. deepchild s original is equally at home at london s co-op or vienna s dub club as it is rocking the floors in aus while always and forever shows more of the flavour from the album with a dose of his trademark rich melodic deepness

the track loud minority is dedicated to alex dallas loud minority residency in zurichs great club dachkantine, which closed down and was a home for great guests such as carl craig, pepe bradock, juan atkins, metro area, herbert and maurice fulton to name just a few. they all inspired us to create music which incorporates all our beloved music and combine different style elements to a fresh and maybe even a typical zurich sounding way. with dessert you can fade away and feel the ability of foster to take you into his simple but at the same time very sophisticated form of musical expression. kanona does what the title suggests. all tracks are flavoured with a great detroit feeling there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it.
