classic cut from the two old hands ! a level non zero release with the catalogue number 23 – who woudnt expect a conspirational track? and indeed: after legendary release >futher & further< (lnz05) the secret house society leaders pascal feos & heiko mso (klang elektronik / playhouse) once again met for a conspirational studio session to dominate the clubbing world with an extraordinary production. the result is named luv and sounds like the essence of the essence of minimal house music neatly stretched out to 11 minutes running time. cladestinely theyve implemented classical chicago jack elements in a modern lunar probe to irridate mother earth with an eternal stream of love. adequate gravitation-free the sound comes across as a gauze of warm bassy clouds, funky finger clicks, sustain violin strings and paradisiac luv female vocals. after a long ethereal break the track speeds up again smoothly and reveals a subtile glowing sound of the tb-303. luv is the perfect example of rarely produced tracks that give you the feeling of oustanding full-embracement

grotty, aggy, dark, brutal are all words used to describe the music of 25 year old alex melia aka reso, which is sometimes at odds with his boyhood dream of drumming in a jazz band.

der thal is been playing all over germany and hes been trying to build up his own sound and skills. after making a great remix of reynolds track >craft< on trenton 027 he is now giving us 3 great tracks for a full maxi. mentona ep is a bit of a journey into what trenton use to be about at the very beginning with a techno that is very close to the old school detroit vibe… in der thals music there are a lot of melodic sounds and tough tight beats to keep us on the ground. >mentona< and >maszo< are floating on air with strings and synth lines when >puston< reminds us more of some >tejada< grooves! a great ep anyway from der thal who is definitely on the way to become one of these great young gifted producers that care about music mainly.

brand new label that offers a refreshing crunchy techno stomper, with some nice production touches. coded signals that pull you to the dancefloor with its old school sensibilities- watch out for the name as we think you will hear plenty more from the intalopa, this boys fresh

phat stavostrand remix !! another outstanding release with some old school flavours

cobra records continues on the beat techno, with a spanish artist david moleon, an owner of the label moo up, who delivers us tracks techno 2 indeed, including, break, good bass turn, an artist that we shall see evolving on the other labels for the future. killians followup the boss of the label, already produced on labels primate, primevil, yin yang, which remixed the track no control, with a groovy touch, or we reknow its signature, and by adding it some good samples old school. a very good e.p to shake your dancefloors

very popular dj & top model from vienna. murk sounds, ideal soundtrack for club space, reign of thousands of clubbers, old school house lovers.

mix of old-school vocal-house and funk with an electro edge... with remixes from micky slim, dino lenny, dave boynes and michael woods own alter-ego out of office.

>hazy bliss< an attempt to bring the joy and soul of early house to the 21st century, featuring the lovely vocals of sunni. >jefferson ave. 1989< a homage to detroit’s summer of love, harkening back to carefree days riding with friends and dancing the night away. >m.i. quickie< mister x’s tribute to the music institute, where he and dj bone’s love of dance music was crystallized into obsession. >because< something old becomes something new as pieces from various genres and time periods combine into something truly unique.. and only possible by mister x >cum 4 u (cum 4 me)< a taste of mister xs philosophy of psychosexual hyper-reality, where every sense is entertained and simultaneously stimulated. >loveclub quickie< a tribute to the infamous and hedonistic loveclub-dj bones first residency in detroit. >meltdown< a little dose of moody aural sex from mister x designed to stimulate both mind and body.

supported by richie hawtin, onur Özer, dj hell, butch, dan ghenacia, stephan bodzin, gel abril, john selway, kiki, groove rebels, joseph capriati, bjoern scheurmann, adam (made to play), mikel mckay, owner of the wiesbaden-based circus records presents his debut on bigcitybeats techno and what an incredible introduction this is! amigos ep is started off by the good-mooded angma that takes you back into the 1930s, which is how old the sample is mikel and eddie cut in from a native american singer and flute player. with a crazy and yet in itself contained arrangement it has all necessary requirements to be one of these big tunes

incl. rmxs by reboot & alexi delano!! big support by... onur Özer, barem, karotte, tobi neumann, laurent garnier, mathias kaden, wighnomy brothers, einzelkind, markus fix, robert dietz, seph, nick curly, toni rios, tony rohr, dorian paic, vera, matt star, motorcitysoul and many more.... frankfurt is definitively the capital of a new house movement and has produced several artists in the recent past who have closed the gap between house and minimal. the newest discovery of the main metropolis is the 24-year old producer timos who dares exactly this balancing act with his debut single >vendor<. vendor which more or less translates as market stall crier is based on a solid bass line over which lie several deep chords. the peak of the track is formed by the harmonic interplay between a vocal sample, which reminds you of a mediterranean market, and almost hypnotising strings

feel-good booty vibes on this cheeky white of housed up version of this big us party track. lloyd featuring ludacris waxing lyrical about how they do it in the club, this mix takes it off more in neptunes disco territory, throw your hands up in the air for the old skool

another stunning release from lovebirds and winding road records, and a delicious prelude to the forthcoming lovebirds album on wr. sebastian doerings solo project is becoming big news, and this is another brilliant ep which enhances his reputation even further. its been getting massive props from laurent garnier, jimpster, ian pooley, danny krivit and more. the louder! ep is a 3-tracker with deeply classy underground house and midtempo stormers. the night is a perfect old-school house thumper. louder! is a french-sounding midtempo bomb with analogue synths and bubbling congas. its all yours is a boogie house stunner with all the ingredients you could ever want - trumpets, strings, zingy

copyright vinyl sampler fetauring the best of their career both old & new!!

nice price deal !!! this record is the finale in the three part 12 inch single project from brooklyns free blood. first up is the club friendly parangatang. broken house beats with increasingly hectic vibes are accompanied by an old time piano melody as the duo continues their onslaught of head scratchingly unique pop singles that maintain a fierce rhythmic consistency. the original is followed by tummy touch records tim love lees remix. lee strips away all but the essentials and adds a heady analog synth melody in place of most of the vocals, creating a proper dance dub version.

advanced underwater electronics by dj stingray. known for his collaborations with drexciya (as the official drexciyan dj), and also know for his works with carl craig (on retroactive and planet e as urban tribe) and his collabs with old time friends moodymann and more of the detroit house producers. this is some deep almost industrial electro techno from the motor city and stingray presents another double pack (after his release on richard james rephlex label recently) with some raw, no nonsens dark shit from a dark (and some say doomed) city!!

freaky and stompin old school techno

max trax records returns after a one year hiatus with the slammin westbourne park dubs ep vol. 1 by dj and producer aaron ross. what you get here are four massive tracks with a definite underground old school touch, all of them being sure shot winners guaranteed to send the crowd into a frenzy thanks to their deep relentless grooves and the hypnotizing synths and chords used. deep, simple, very effective - just the way we love it.

adam beyers drumcode label has its ten year anniversary this year and there will be many releases as well as a massive compilation album project later in the year featuring brand new tracks from many of the label s key artists. one of the newest additions is the producer of this new release - tor lowkrantz or mighty thor as he is known. this 4 tracker again demonstrates the open musical policy of the label. the last hardcell release was a fine piece of work demonstrting influences from both hard and minimal techno sensibilities. this release focuses more on the harder end of the scale but still remains fresh with its almost old jeff mills and rob hood influences. all 4 tracks have a fat groove and are saturated with funk yet still pack serious punch in any set. another winner from drumcode

ziemlich lässiger detroit sounds mit den sexy vocals von blake baxter auf der a side !! die flipside kommt acidic old skool daher

here you have a little history of house music in one package. i ve lost control (an ode to the sleazy b / marshall jefferson trax records release) is played by ame, radio slave, phonique, shinedoe, d julz, alex smoke and more.

a brand new ep from the count & sinden, which showcases their love of all sorts of club music, from garage to r n b, from hip hop to grime. lead track hardcore girls is the sound of the much hyped baltimore breaks scene, evolved, displaced and mutated as only the count & sinden know how. fronted by the hottest thing out of b more since the wire, 17 year old wild child of the mike, rye rye. she has been touring the states with mia and, now signed to interscope, she is set to do big things. her unique and energetic vocal is treated to one of the duo’s best bumpy bass grooves and the combined effect is nothing short of devastating. another new school talent picked up on by the count & sinden is ny. bubbling on the uk underground, she fronts the hardcore, jungle inflected soul that is fool in love. this is pop music for the now and tomorrow, a classic love song set to a raucous jungle inspired backing track which has become a live favourite over the summer.finally we have jme, a legend in the grime scene, known for his tight flows, guest appearances and his boy better know franchise. industry gives an overview of the pit falls of getting involved in the trickiest of games... the music business. and who would want to get involved in that shit!?!

reinventing the word dj, insideamind is the leading force in turntable music performance. knowing no limits, innovators steptone & professor fingers raise the bar high with their natural showmanship. spellbinding soundtracks, head snapping breaks, tears, laughter, and magic make up their acrobatic, high energy onstage flow. blowing away audiences not just with clever samples, but an onslaught of layered beats, big bass, and sudden switches to live improvised remixes that pull crowds deep into their world. the tiniest spy is insideamind?s first vinyl single, the title track features the exquisite vocals of laura barrett from paper bag records, over the furious drum beats, scratches and soundscapes created by steptone and professor fingers. a matter of time takes you a head nodding hip hop feel, featuring a daunting techno style remix by murr (from lal) and old school hip hop remix by toronto?s circle research crew (a recent signing to melting pot music).

this is quite simply one of the most glorious records you will hear this year. it would be easy to lazily reference it against classic period rephlex/planet mu stuff (oops, i just did!), and indeed it appears to share some of the same heritage (even going so far as to feature a remix of rephlex artist global goon in its tracklisting) - but chris leary aka ochre is obviously a man on his own mission. gorgeously lush, but at the same time super-funky…as electronic as kraftwerk starring in a remake of tron, yet somehow as pastoral and organic as edward elgar…much like his label-mate ed chamberlain, leary manages that tricky task of being supremely technical in his programming and arrangements, but without losing the heart and soul of the music amidst all the studio trickery. you know that old chestnut often said when referring to vintage or classic music, >they dont make them like that any more<? well they do…and here it is! simply fantastic.

rave & tribal influenced harder old school techno three tracker.. ltd backstock

another serious result from our warehouse rummaging! si begg is a man of many musical personalities, his list of aliases is impressive to say the least (bigfoot, buckfunk3000, lenny logan, s.i. futures, zygmunt janowski...). but one of his oldest, and certainly one of his strangest, is cabbage boy. in fact i confess i am old enough to remember his releases in the early 90s on cassette tape under the umbrella of the >cabbage head collective< (which also included such techno notables as cristian vogel & tim wright) - and pretty mental they were too. the lost tapes vol. 1 doesnt disappoint on that front, containing such gems as a remix of 80s pop mysteries frank chickens>we are ninja<, and an electronic cover version of >king kong< by frank zappa (ask your parents...). totally out there, but totally cool at the same time...highly recommended to anyone looking for something with some real personality amidst the hard-drives full of faceless (and usually nameless) digital fluff

supported by m-nus crew, onur ozer, marco carola, karotte, nick curly, anthony collins, x-pansul, matt star, sebastian roya, alexy delano, dave ellesmere… if the original ‘burning the midnight oil’ was already a blast in all minimal tech dance floors, the remix records arrives with a new twist to keep the discos moving. soulrack & mikel_e present a fresh groovy track full of voice lines that’ll go directly to a packed dance floor. seph moves around darker and more hypnotic territories with a continuous loop while fabrizio maurizi dives deep into old school, with some broken beats, distorted voices and numerous bleeps & clicks. a collection of hits that’ll make the night vibrate. long life martinez!

another slammin piece of ultra hard tec..

this is the second part in the three-part series >join the resistance< by 22 year old tim toh and another proof for this young producers huge talent and unique character! >three< on the a-side is a masterpiece of discoesque harmonies going nuts, a lovely string topping and a sparse but effective rhythm…the sweetest piece of house music we ever released?!!…most definetly! >four< on the flip is a funked up track covered in charming synthlines that almost sound like natural ochestral instrumentation, with their woodwind-like charakters. great tension in the arrangement again! >five< is the most likely house track on this 12inch, deep chords top a heavy shufflin rhythm… timeless matter! thanks for purchasing a real copy

killer release from blackjoy. pure old skool house like they dont do anymore... perfect blend between the old and the new with a real eye for the floor. plain and simple: we love it !!!! hand writen numbered limited pressing of 300. no more, no repress.

there is certainly not enough space to tell you all the great things about move d we would love to share with you. being the musical mind behind the legendary source records imprint, david moufang has always been a versatile and prolific character. from ambient soundscapes to krautrocky epics, jazz sensibilities or straight up techno and house, he has done it all with his own special and unique touch. this lovely fingerprint is spread all over the “cube ep . intended as a tribute to heidelberg’s finest club night of the same name (don’t mix it up with that other square project!) , move d shots two arrows straight into your heart. “cube” is one of those stripped down hypnotic affairs that seem to go on forever and ever just to surprise you with a nice breakdown, before it’s groove sucks you in again. we guess this is what people mean, if they talk about the beauty of simplicity. “heidelberg gals” flips the script in three parts with an old school approach and turns into a monolithic house monster with a bassline to boot. panache! bust a move d!

this time contributions come from australia, the old europe, the usa…, from all over really. some of the featured artists are signed and glorious, others are virtually unknown and live in bedsits. some will release their future albums on kitsune and others already have a&rs in search of the next big thing biting their nails.

this ep is a mix of old house, acid, new beat with the new sound master technics. its really good for big sound system!!!

old school influenced spheric timeless electro trax

plays by john acquaviva, fred numf, tony senghore, chris fortier, francesco farfa, ante perry !! incl audiojack rmx! noir (a.k.a. rene kristensen) is one of the industry s most respected and hard working individuals. together with martin thompson who shares the same ideas and ideals - >all for the love< rather than churning out the same old rubbish for masses - now it s the time for their first release on blufin.the remix by audiojack, one of the most talented and exciting electronic music acts in recent years, reflects the high quality of this release

after the success of the beautiful and sultry ‚move with me‘ on poker flat 97, alongside patrick chardronnet‘s blissfully deep ‚days like these‘, david durango is back with three mesmerising tracks on dessous. like a dark, empty night made warm by the pure, reviving light of day, ‚striptease‘ is an epic tale of love and resolution. skipping, light percussion flourishes are joined by memorable chord phases that wash through and over the senses. a tender and sincere detroit style breakdown is then skillfully danced out with teasing, climactic moments of tension. ‚human‘ is by comparison a lighter journey, as durango trusts his rhythmic instincts and pulls out some fresh and airy hypnotising synth stutters and a rich palette of spacious percussion. neo-chicago stlye, ‚japanese revenge‘ is a faster paced deep-down groover that works chugging organ stabs and jacking beats along with glorious room-filling bending synth glides. it‘s a versatile track that sums up durango‘s unmistakable talent for creating an atmosphere and a celebratory, old-school vs new school vibe. durango‘s skilled, un-rushed style is the key here, and leads to three very unique dancefloor excursions, each with their own directions, moods and tingling electronic atmospheres.

panthers used to play aggressive post hardcore before their style morphed into a somewhat sober version of anthemic stoner rock. they released albums on both troubleman and vice records. goblin city is the lead track from their second record, the trick. holy ghost! requested to work on goblin city. they then delivered one of the most relentlessly snappy disco dubs in quite some time. panthers also asked run roc to do a mix of the song and he came up with an excellent old school acid house version. this single is a true dfa family affair, bringing together good friends, musicians, and creative allies from the past and for the future. family reunions are not supposed to be this much fun.

2006 classic feat house diva michelle weeks!! excellent jazz n groove mixes (brian tappert/marc pomeroy)!!

after a one-sided promo release earlier this year, here are the massive remixes of gold, diaz & young rebels – >open sesame<. following their big success with the felix remake “dont you want me” last year, this time they worked on this classic by leila k. after the thomas gold & francesco diaz mix is already causing some serious dancefloor madness over the last weeks, get now ready for two remixes of some heavyweights of the international house scene. on the one side, we have eddie thoneick together with his buddy jens mangold, delivering a driving progressive peak-time bomb with a huge 2-minutes-break. on the other side, tom novy works with even more of the vocals and some strong old-school elements, but in a modern context. special rerelease

>i am wah< bläst alles weg was sich dieser hymne in den weg stellt. diese hookline ist der wahnsinn, kraftvoll, gespenstisch & verspult. der titel sagt schon alles und passt zum track wie windräder zu ostwind. begleitet von einem dicken groove, fluffigen bis hypnotisierenden percussions, und schön scharfen hithats, stürmt >i am wah< mit direktem wege auf die peaktime zu! earlier support comes from stephan bodzin, markus kavka, chloe, helmut dubnitzky, dani casarano, trent cantrelle, fafa monteco and many others..

hey flavio, why are you so acid?? the just 20 years old guy is already showing lots of influence in his background! flavio diaz, young producer divided between naples and london, becomes part of the born pulsars in the techno music galaxy with amazing tracks! vitamin r and mister jetix reflect the evolution of the analytic trail groove , influenced by the minimal of detroit and the acid house of chicago before and london then, and marked by techno neapolitan school personal imprint. mister jetix is a real funky track, nominated to be a real floor killer, both in the original version that like the remix by the chairman of the house, markantonio. vitamin r is a real brand new vitamin discovered by flavio, that we wish to take at early morning to charge up and start again!

as juan maclean and dfa finalize plans for the imminent release of his next album, the future will come, and happy house continues to grow in summer anthem status, the label offers another taste of the forthcoming fulllength to old fashioned disc jockeys and rabid fans alike. like happy house, the simple life is a marathon dancefloor filler, and another collaboration between maclean and nancy whang. the flip features a lush and beautiful remix by innervisions/sonar kollektiv secret ontanari remix

great old school and rave influenced techno

d. diggler aka andreas mügge is back ! this time not on planet vision but on pascals new label: level non zero. blessed with a father who is a jazz musician, andreas started to play the drums at the tender age of twelve, and joined his father in his jazz combo. soon he realized that his future is not to play in a band but to make his musical ideas become reality through the necessary midi equipment. his first release for raum...musik boogiemonster hit several dj charts, club charts and was played in heavy rotation on hr 3 xxl. so did the following releases. d.diggler s first album was released in april 2000 on cd and vinyl, its sound range varying from deep to technoid-slamming. since then he can look back on 45 releases and 20 remixes and is a dj + liveact who playes in the first league. on level non zero he shows us with three new traxs his variety: from „hypno-techno“ (drehmoment), over deep tech-house (deepdown), to dub-house (control). we remember the old raum...musik times...

bomb the bass is back! but put away that smiley face, this is no nostalgia trip. with >future chaos<, tim simenon revamps his long-running project to produce a record thats fresher than anyone might have expected from an outfit that got its start in the 80s.

nice westcoast / naked music styled, late night deep house music, very soulful

old school detroit berlin dub techno by kai lohberger & jörg ehlert / incl double x remix (alexander kowalski & torsten litschko)

this brand new and long awaited follow up 12-inch single release by off the record is finally here! its been quite a while since their first release >robot gang ep< (sen-003) came out and took the dancefloors by storm. all the wait has been well worth though, as this talented duo is back on track with their trademark rough & raw drum sounds, killer breaks and bridges. such elements can be found directly from the starting track >tel aviv – japan<, which combines nicely minimalist techno / house sound architexture with simple, yet effective groove, and it grows humble and slowly to reach up its peak moment what goes like: splash! in ya face! there you have it! guaranteed to lighten up any dancefloors, it s dangerously explosive and has amazing flavour on the rocks! having said that, on demand producer and remixer ran shani (crosstown rebels, breastfed, cr2 records) was kind enough to contribute his absolutely fabulous and fantastic remix work of >in your mind< track. he pushed the track to the next level and came up with a truly club oriented pulsating dance track with extra crispy and tasty beats. rotating 360 degrees panorama effect on female vocals coming in as the track rolls further right after the break is surely enough to explode some minds on the dancefloors. watch this man out! perfect end to an extended play here is the only track offering a mini lovestory: >shes lost her mind> is a true and cold hearted, crucial story about a tech savvy clubgirl falling in love in a binary world full of zeros and ones, finding computers and turin machines sexually more attractive companions to better have fun with rather than getting accustomed to that old fashioned missionary position carried out by her human boyfriend. floating, dubby and rather melancholic, but definitely not a sad song! but one thing is for sure regarding that twisted story after all: someone has truly lost her mind somewhere along the way …
