there is a new name on cargo edition, but by no means an unknown one. as a dj markus schatz has been on the move for years now, all the while maintaining his roots in the berlin club scene. markus started producing in 2004 and both his solo eps and collaborations with tom clark on highgrade records and opossum recordings last year clearly demonstrate that his talents go far beyond the turntables. and now for his first ep on cargo edition, markus takes a step further into the musical spectrum. drippin is a nimble house track accented with a note of funk and the smooth vocals of sean andino, giving the track a slight pop-appeal. in contrast flippin gives us a beautifully reduced form of house all driven by a powerful rolling bass line, a textbook example of less is more. as a perfect ending restart surprises with its smooth house arrangements and sophisticated deepness. a truly versatile ep from a truly versatile producer.

ltd light blue 12?! bitten welcomes the talented young gabriele baldi, a very varied ep, she comes back is a rocking tech-house tune with catchy vocal snippets, while sixty is a more chicago house influenced track

as the days get darker so shall the music, so on that note we welcome back the fold moscows own polymorphic with the ever turbulent rock on ep. this time out polymorphic delivers the goods with 3 new tracks, rock on, scream & move faster. the ep also features a remix of the title track by marseille who also had a hand it turning out proxys raven last year. this ep is not for the feight at heart. both mixes of rock on tear things up with a decidely old school electro undercurrent while keeping things noisy and agressive on the top end. and there s only one thing we can really say about the last two tracks because they are that scary... scream will make you move faster.

for the second cassius records and to carry on with the youth speed, trouble, cigarettes adventure we give you four remixes done by talented producers across europe from milano italy… reset! we met the three kids from reset! in magazinni generale while playing, their set was powerfull but also full of respect and influences from hip hop, soul and dance music in general, we finished our sets back to back and since this day love them their trouble mix could have been done by the jbs if they were still twenty something and into house music… it rocks and never stopsno use to present the music from radio slave, the big difference with a majority of other producers is that we both can recognise his tracks in a few bars only, also in the way it streches to crazy length and takes you in a trance that could have come directly from lagos in 1973 matt embrace the same philosophy we all cherish at cassius records the no boundarys way hes more than minimal, more than electro more than techno he stripped down ystc to the max and his remix played at the good time on a good system is a true chicagoan infused gem then after chaos

all the way from new zealand to the urban landscapes of berlin, simon beeston is a man who likes diversity. this is not just evident in his choice of residence, but also in his musical output. following an ep on highgrade digital and a track on our various artists vol. vi record, simon now presents dusty back room, his first solo 12inch release on highgrade. the ep opens with the title track dusty back room, a track of strings and stabs, and a sound not exactly typical of previous highgrade releases. but when the music comes with such compelling energy and provocative atmosphere, were prepared to make an exception. new zealand meets berlin as we cast an eye over green landscapes and ocean swells, while the bumpy groove intoxicicates us with its magic spell. that simon beeston is a man of great contrast is clearly evident on the b-side with neon cringe and cymbolic. the percussive heat of the club brings us back from the organic landscape of his homeland and into the neon lights of the night. neon cringe resonates with a healthy dose of acid pump, while cymbolic provides a bass driven journey complete with cut up vocals and blistering cymbal rolls. this is a release that richly deserves its round number: highgrade number 70. especially with the addition of the bonus digital track tough luck, another highlight all of its own.

a classically-trained jazz virtuoso and national rock n roll hero in argentina, gutis double 12inch pack for desolat will leave you in no doubt of his ability to twist a snaking groove into something echoingly hypnotic. the tracks contained here are already a favourite in the record boxes of artists like loco dice, carl cox and marco carola, while gutis life story could itself be the subject of a story by jorge luis borges: >i leave to several futures (not to all) my garden of forking paths<. just two years after his first live sets in europe, desolat is proud to present gutis las cosas que no se tocan. the beats follow guti across continents: mr good vibes was composed in a hotel room in stuttgart after an argument with a friend, while the serious dancefloor vibes of sasa, the hustler and ieuuu were channelled in martinez studio. ieuuu and the hustler feature slices of glamorous, haunting vocals by jayson walker, a british singer that guti discovered on myspace. and sasa boasts gutis own vocal touches. meanwhile, the track aguanile is inspired by one of his favourite melodies as a child, one that he’s collected many versions of. the last track on the release, el campeon, reaches a bittersweet ending in the wide open space between percussive trills and a cut-out refrain, inspired by gutis favourite latin storylines of broken hearts and pain.

the man behind golden bug was partly educated by victor, a japanese robot from osaka. victor was invented by komba, an old japanese man who wanted a child. he created victor. when the old man died he sent victor around the world telling him to find a new home. after a big odyssey victor finally arrived at legendary la maison du robot in paris. the shop was owned by antoines mother who was the first one to import japanese toys to europe in the 70ies.so victor came to antoines family and decided to stay for a while. and as antoines mother was very busy with the other toys - victor practically was the one to teach antoine how to eat, how to speak and how to dance...

after surprising belgium and the rest of the world with their >zoopah dupah< and >heads up< eps, sound of stereo is back with a new, fresh sound best described as >something you should hear for yourself<.
in the past few months sound of stereo has been all over the place. not only have they played every large festival and venue in belgium & holland, their tracks have also been picked up by big names such as bloody beetroots, steve aoki, mstrkrft, armand van helden, crookers, congorock, jokers of the scene and many, many more.
with the new >zipper ep< comes a more mature sound that proves that sound of stereo is more than just wobbly beats and funny lyrics. the ep contains 3 brand new tracks that will be presented at i love techno on the 24th of october. the official release is scheduled exactly one month later: on the 24th of november. dont hesitate and get them while they are hot!

the process of artistic creation is fundamentally determined by the environment of the artist. some cities and geographical locations are synonymous with the artistic techniques and crafts in which their populations became specialized. the muted and subtle sunsets of monets paintings are nothing else but a truthful interpretation of the actual nuances of a parisian twilight - along with a great dose of the artistic wizardry.
these cities and their artistic communities, are the legendary ones that remain in history. defending a fantastic track record in electronic music throughout recent times, rosario - the capital city of the santa fe province in argentina - is one of these places.
franco cinelli, nico purman, andres zacco and jorge savoretti are the leading figures who have, over the last decade, turned rosario into the great sound lab that it is. while developing their own sound and story individually, these boys never forget about their common origin, and the vibe that truly unites them together. on this occasion, they all come around remixing their young friend capes >le post< ep.
this record is pure mother of pearl. it is a tribute to rosario and its prolific actors.

>cancel< is duesseldorf based producer antonelli electr. 3rd ep for level records. while most producers arrange their tracks on laptops, using the latest software synthesizers and sequencers, antonelli choose to ban computers from his studio in order to concentrate on a production method which hasn’t change much since the early days of house music. all tree tracks are arranged and recorded live without any edits resulting in very pure record which a magical flow.

played by karotte !! as if the year 2009 hadnt been eventful enough for berlin label highgrade and its french counterpart freak n chic , both camps have found space in the program for another very special tour de force this november. based on the similar philosophies of label founders tom clark and dan ghenacia, the two labels utilize the skills of their existing artist rosters while continuing to discover new talents, and togheter, pay tribute to almost all the artists from both labels with this fresh musical collaboration.

brand new intrusion! the first killer twelve of 2009 and the perfect way to soothe the post nye hangover. the title track >seduction< is an epic beauty as deep as the sea which does exactly as the title suggest, a sort of seduction of sound if you will, so immersive you could swim in it’s three dimensions. the bass line is so deep you can feel the vibrations in jamaica! the song soars along and in minutes reveals its magical analogue frequencies as shards of blissful chords sail around your speakers in a full spectrum panorama affair so easy to sink into. next up is “silence” leading us into ambient territory for a short but sweet three minute excursion which i could only imagine as a soundtrack while floating in deep space. the release comes to a close with cv313’s near 12 minute rendition, a beautiful dub house soundscape filled with tribal rhythms and gorgeous atmosphere recalling moments from echospace’s landmark album “the coldest season” on modern love. this is music which clearly focuses on every fine detail, filled with loads of space and bass and the analogue warmth we’ve come to love from the echospace signature. as with all things echospace this is severely limited and is pressed on to beautiful coloured vinyl.

turning and turning in the widening gyre
the falcon cannot hear the falconer,
things fall apart, the centre cannot hold,
mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
the ceremony of innocence is drowned,
the best lack all conviction, while the worst
are full of passionate intensity.

surely some revelation is at hand,
surely the second coming is at hand.

makaton on token: a secret form of punishment

2nd single from the patrick cowley & jorge socarras album >catholic<. bleeding edge remixing by oni ayhun and noble editing by morgan geist added for your pleasure. while still everybody keeps guessing whos behind the mysterious and burning hot works of oni ayhun, macros got the mans first ever remix! o.a. obscured cowleys >memory fails me< with his trademark darkness and took it to the edge of engineering. and its got all that feeling, too! if you asked yourself what a forward-thinking patrick cowley might have done today - here is a serious offering. >burn brighter flame< is the disco heart of the album. with all disco crate digging of the decade, >bbf< is the ultimate find. since the original artists had intended this one to be a single theres also a stunning instrumental! we just remember how everybody got tears of joy when finn johannsen mixed the different versions of this for the first time at berlins picknick. who could have been asked for an edit of this gem other than metro areas morgan geist? creating a dialogue between the vocal and instrumental versions, his edit offers even more variety for the dj to mix in and out of this great tune.

first release of gießen based dontstop label. on the a side you can find a stormy deepish techno tune by veteran johannes volk, while the other side features flickering house music by newcomer mirko hecktor. heavy club cut by dublates and mastering

limited edition sampler 12 inch to his album >we are the ones we ve been waiting for< (hs-019). tracklisting here is >axion< (exclusive to this 12), no time for gravity waves, buzz 101 and glow (these will be on the cd full length, not the vinyl album). >axion< is a modern club banger with hypnotic loops, chopped vox and stripped drum action. >no time for gravity waves< is a laid-back, textured house jam, >buzz101< is an energetic jazz-tinged workout, while >glow< is a classic slice of soulful techno. check!

dan curtin, now releasing records for 11 years, returns back to classic form with a 4 track ep of smooth, deep, calculated beats. dan takes us through a time warp with elements of jazz, funk, and r&b, with his own inimitable touch that puts his music in a unique category all its own. autonomic groove reminds of the better purveyors of fine funk material, while other songs such as bygone epigone and chained present new takes on dans familiar jazzy sound. another cool down low item!! tip!

this new collaboration between two of cadenzas finest talents makes its official debut on mobilee with black shoes, a cut that pops, crackles, and snaps like youd never believe. dance floor ready yet unwilling to sacrifice an explicit focus on the details, black shoes pulsates with bass while suggesting a kind of lightness as whispered and fragmented voices hiss and murmur in the background. the melodics, which give off the feel of being in constant flux, provide a nice contrast to the intensely regularized bass drum while simultaneously meshing with the popping percussion that guide the track along its course. breakdowns filled with the sounds of static and 8-bit provide a nice experimental touch to this track that works equally well as a late-night romp as it does on the headphones. b-side speech also gives off a stuttered feel but is even more blippy and fragmented than its counterpart while migrating towards a more jacking vibe. brito and toro compliment this fractured sound with extensive use of vocal samples—both spoken and sung—that, while incomprehensible, lock in seamlessly with the overall feel of the track. melody here references both vintage sounds and traditional minimalism with the end result being a fusion of the two that is truly extraordinary.

incl. manuel tur remix. the second chapter in mild pitch history reveals the cryptically twinkling gem that is langenberg s times , a dark yet sensitive house affair which easily bridges the gap from a rougher 1990s new jersey kind of feel to the modern takes on house music of today. filtered stab fragments and deep chordal layers gently slide into each other like watercolour and the shifting frequencies of a sizzling vinyl record contribute to langenberg s most thrilling work to date. on the flip, manuel tur gears up for an atmospheric remix expansion reminiscent of his critically acclaimed 0201 album debut on freerange earlier this year. countless harmonic layers twine around a filtered disco sample, without ever revealing its full sound spectrum while the raw tripping beat keeps stomping relentlessly…

juke and ghetto house hero dj gant-man was part of the fools gold family from the start - his remix of kid sisters >damn girl< was on the back of our very first release, quickly followed by production on kid sis >switch board< and shows around the country as her tour dj and hypeman. so naturally, we are very proud to present gants new solo single and debut fg artist release, >juke dat girl<.
from his earliest 12 inches on dance mania, to rocking parties around the world on the rave and club circuts alongside legends like paul johnson, gant has been pushing his signature chicago sound for almost two decades - mixing up rapid-fire juke beats while referencing all the house and disco classics that first paved the way. >juke dat girl< is the latest development of gants hybrid approach, slowing the bpms down to a more universal tempo but keeping the hyper, party-starting energy intact.
the banging original also comes backed with two massive remixes - an amped-up rave version from the heavily buzzed dc duo nadastrom and a groove-filled uk funky house rework from ex-bugz in the attic producers greenmoney. the entire single is a dj must-have, so pick it up and work! and juke! and work! and juke…

hakim murphy has been on a roll these past couple of years. he is on a roll and on a mission to take the chicago house music he loves into the future in the hakim style, staying true to the jack, groove, and feeling of chicago while at the same time exploring new territory and his own inner space. after his last ep on metamorphic, wiggles, hakim has gone on to produce a string of releases on labels such as his own synapsis records and remixes including a stunning reinterpretation of the classic welcome to chicago by future forward feat. john simmons. now we are again proud to present a flollow up ep from hakim called black robots having sex with a very special remix by metro areas morgan geist! this 4 track ep shows hakim at his best covering the full range of his personality, deep melodies, jacking rhythms, and sexy funky robotics. morgans remix of jupiter poop is stripped down, thick and warm, focusing on the subtle pulsating sub bass of the original with teases of shimmering melody and solid crisp percussion throughout..

belgian producers sierra sam & marcus vector return to their house-oriented project d.i.y. (dumb irresponsible youth) for three more sly, sexy groovers, with contributions from dop, big bully and markus fix.
while sam and marcus are generally known for their more techno-focused productions, last years house tools vol. 1 was a minor hit, with tracks included in ellen alliens resident advisor podcast, jay hazes recent fabric47 mix cd, and m.a.n.d.y.s charts. since then, they ve kept busy with their own toys for boys label, meanwhile sierra sam has co-produced the debut album by bloody mary on contexterrior.
still, they ve found the time to crank out these new elegant-yet-sleazy cuts, and while vol. 1 was purely instrumental, for vol. 2 they ve roped in some guest vocalists. first up is their collab with comrades dop (circus company, eklo, supplement facts). >kilimanjaro< features d.i.y.s tribal bounce combined with dops seedy, trent reznor-on-opiates vocal delivery.
the flipside has two versions of >suck my caulk<: d.i.y.s original elevates thelevel of melody and sunshine, weaving in the voice of big bully (known forhis work on spectral, get physical and vakant). markus fix of cecille offers his own interpretation, bringing the track down into deep house territory. placed in the right hands, these tools can do some serious dancefloor damage!

our jazzy multi instrumentalist, dewalta a.k.a. david koch, returns to vakant with another popping fresh release, as earnestly house as house can get. since his first vakant release in 2008 (va021 salgaro/farina) davids music has taken him around the world in black largely covering our earths northern and southern hemispheres. side a is graced by move yo sitting as close to late 1990s baby ford as one can get without a time machine and personal guide to londons underground. david somehow owns this genre while still making it distinctly his. b1 night shade keeps the housey goose bumps going with a drier and more direct approach. cheeky bleeps and chunky bass balance dark spacey vocals to land the track somewhere between night and day. >angels trumpet< at the b2 position closes this stellar ep out with a track that again borrows from the genre, but continues way beyond its standards with melodic elements that push and pull you in multiple directions resulting in no less than dance floor catharsis.

lets have fun! - thats the mantra of big zis and the crew of nation music. the swiss black music label has been broadening its musical spectrum over the past years. just like the artist big zis, whose music could most likely be labeled electro pop alternative punk rap, they dont care about common conventions.while rap becomes more and more pimped out, house loopier and minimal narrow-minded, big zis hooks up with a top-class troupe to get it her own way.for her most recent album und jetz … (and now …) she worked with marton di katz and valentino tomasi (both members of kalabreses famous rumpelorchester), who laid the musical foundations for most of the songs. for the impulsive electro on the track suure räge (acid rain) however, big zis collaborated with the techno producer michal ho (tuningspork) at the studio. suure räge got remixed by several well-known producers: robag wruhme (freude am tanzen) and canson (gs zürich) are to be found on volume 1 and the soul brothers lexx (aka kawabata / drumpoet) and kalabrese (stattmusik) successfully combat boredom on volume 2. the sound scapes of the remixes couldnt be any more diverse and cover a broad variety of styles. and be sure: volume 3 - work in progress - will delight you as well!

after the much-lauded altair nouveau 12 inch, released in association with dfa, solardisco returns with a fine three track ep from the slovenian boy wonder igor skafar aka ichisan. space patrol is a slice of lindstrom-inspired disco genius , robots from above nods to an italo influence while atanamamo is aimed square at the dancefloor with early support from the likes of aeroplane and pete herbert among others. with releases on eskimo, airtight and rare wiri already under his belt, a debut album (along with co-producer ule nakova) is due out early 2010 on nang, however, not before another release on airtight (with remix from bjorn torske no less), one on jisco/under the shade and a remix of legendary disco outfit space. expect to see/hear much more from ichisan in the very near future!

nice price deal !!! debox welcomes another exceptional artist. 24 year old talent christian schwarz delivers a debut that easily matches the production standard of guys that have been in the business for years and clearly stands out from the monthly pile of same sounding tracks. before you told me, which features christians own vocals comes along with fat analog synth sounds, dark atmosphere and a detail orientation and emotional depth which reminds of trentemoeller or swyazak. the massive remix package features versions by spanish dj legend memo and the london based producer duo dzeta n basile. memo combines the original with pumping house grooves and a spoonful of retro coolness to an extremely danceable mixture while dzeta n basile fragmentize the catchy vocals, creating a hypnotic, tribal infected minimal track which will surely have the same effect on the dancefloor. last but not least sternenfänger (starcatcher ) takes the listener on a journey through a strange soundgarden, following the beat along beautifully distorted structures and experimental contrasts.

1994, the internet is in its infancy, the channel tunnel opens, and ibiza is rocking to the sound of a little unknown track by the name of waterfall. roll forward to today and paul thomas & myke smith bring atlantic oceans ibiza classic bang up to date. while keeping the instantly recognisable arpeggio, chords, they give it some heavy drums, side chained bass and nu skool production to bring it screaming into 2009.

an absolute treat for all the detroit disco freaks from derrick may and carl craig! originally released in 1992 on spiritual records, >simply just a ventage< features the two legends looping, filtering and slicing the f*ck out of john roccas >i want to be real (farleys hothouse piano mix)<, while on the flipside youve got the disco house bomb >ventage (institutional mix)<, which uses the original sample from >no control< on designer music

their debut ep comes on alphahouse records, and is turning heads as a late-night monster. need a mental picture? imagine classic g-man, strobe lights, smoke machines, and a cavernous berghain style freak show. the duo slyly manage to push the tracks in many directions, looking back to a time before ableton-warped bootlegs and cheap production techniques, all the while maintaining a standard that feels fresh and experimental. some of us are searching for more. with this record, we approach closer to that groove than ever.

without much need for introduction, archipel welcomes the talent of minus niederflur who bring with them the darkly blinding >lumen ep<. a lumen is a unit used to measure the perceived power of light and this ep is most definitely very powerful and certainly can be perceived as such. this is where the line between something as intangible as light is crossed and becomes tangible as one would feel an intense and warming heat which goes so far as to manifest itself as something with mass. title track >lumen< is the focused, convex lens, knife edge point of light which focuses a small portion of the suns energy so densely it could initiate many a blaze. >masse< is as dense as the most solid of gems and radiates dark light like heavy water and is sure to corrupt any geiger counter within its radioactive reach while >flor< stacks itself as high and wide as it can go, building further and further upon itself, and just as one would think it could build no further, it rotates itself back to within and further densifies, an inescapable sort of density of which one is eternally locked pleasurably within. >flucht< raises one into the blackest skies of night and flies hour after hour through blood orange clouds filled with the atmospherically scattered light from what was temporarily civilization below but is now just a memory shaded in the delight of being closed within the phosphorescence of late night fog.

yore returns with yet another deep master piece. javier alvarez, a madrid based producer and proprietor (along with his younger brother dubbyman) of the underground label deep explorer music, brings his relaxed above smoke sound to the yore imprint. in the first of four warm and atmospheric mood pieces, awfully drapes dense synthetic winds over a deliciously grooving, bass prodded deep house pulse. get down does exactly that with five funky minutes of rhodes chords, disco hi hats, and synth swirls, a percolating bass line lends the track a propulsive charge, while crowd voices give the cut a party vibe. on the b sideÆs ôthe fixö javier scatters chopped fragments of the spoken line, i ve got a lot of shit to say and i cant say it all in one day, i cant say it all on one piece of tape, over a funk house groove, after which dubbyman offers variations on the theme in his remix of the track, dubbymans version digs deeper into the cuts bass science and warms the tunes slinky pulse with hand percussion and claps. old school in its embrace of classic house sounds, above smokes ep is tailor made for those who like their material laid back, groove centered, and funky.

for more than 15 years now, steve bug is known for influential track somewhere in between house, techno and minimalism. with his very good sense for the energy of self-limitation, bug has set standards when it comes to the funk of modern sound geometry, especially with his imprint poker flat recordings. milestones such as >loverboy<, >monsterbaze< or >wet n dry< are now essential elements of the history of electronic dance music. only a few weeks after the release of his fourth album collaboratory, bug even tops that one with this 12 inch on cocoon: while look whos stalking obviously refers to steves close relation to the raw energy of u.s. house in between chicago trax and detroit, using driving hand claps, percussions and nasty vocals, the flipside zero balance could pass as a vision of how far you can reduce techhouse to the essence of a bass line. also here, short vocal loops - besides the fast-moving elements - complete a sensibility that makes bugs tracks such high quality music for a very long time now.

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<.

by rene breitbarths >atmotrax ep<, the second vinyl release is carried out on his own imprint deep data. the first floor filler >peace< grooves skillfully with catchy vocals on a dry beat till its soulful conclusion towards the end with charm and pressure. total relaxation is achieved by >loop<, however without forgetting the obligatory groovyness - a good opener or as well appropriate while making love. simply beautiful. this releases vinyl bonus track is provided by falko brocksiepers remix of renes track >dynamo<. the man hereby delivers the peak time hit of this ep – straight forward minimal house. >airy< puts the finishing touch to this ep. last but not least this piece comes with a cracking portion of soul and shines with its arrangement and linearity. yet again without loosing focus to the dancefloor. all in all a sure thing which keeps deep data slipping into the record cases.

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!!

straight out of blade runner with basslines the size of george clintons afro and a sense of the epic rivalled only by the ancient greeks, vulture presents the new ep from palermo disko machine. following on from successful releases on kitsuné, pdms latest offering is 21st century dance music at its very best – a patchwork time-capsule of italo, disco and funk conjured up in a contemporary cauldron of cool. with blissed-out melodies served sweetly over bum-shaking bass, and a dose of the double-clap thrown in for good measure, palermo disko machine – as the name might well suggest – is at once exotic, at once groovy, yet all the while industriously effective in its dance-floor dogma

mysterious white label coming out of germany. we cannot announce whos involved on this, but trust us its some of the major players in germanys techno scene who supply their own take on elvis and michael jackson. enjoy! limited edition white label... get this while you can!

lee cabrera and thomas gold deliver 2 hot versions of >shake it< while tiko, steven lee & vincent di pasquale mix it up!

after their new york city debut earlier this year, the buzz on jessica 6 began to brew. the group which features bassist andrew raposo, keyboardist morgan wiley and singer/songwriter nomi ruiz (of hercules & love affair), who all met while on the 2008 hercules & love affair tour, have been hard at work in the studio cultivating a sound that is equally dark as it is sexy, soulful and ready for the dance floor.

time for celebration! its been a long time since magnus international comitted anything to vinyl (kosmetisk/fp06 a good 3 years ago) with the exception of his remix for yrds afterski. undulat has been revealed in plenty of different disguises at previous full pupp nights but as magnus himself is too slow and lazy to wrap things up i gave it a good chopping here and there, voila! mandass morran blus is what it is, a beautiful piece of music... a taster of good things to come. on the b side we introduce new kid on the block, marius circus. friend and regular punter at our full pupp nights marius fights for musicians rights as a lawyer in gramo (no, google it fool...), djs around bars in oslo at night while slowly honing his production skills.

supported by timo maas, dave seaman, dubfire, hot chip, dj hell, piemont, chloe, dan curtin!! new design, new ideas, bukaddor & fishbeck took a break from producing while playing a lot of live gigs and are back now, better than ever.

the travel reports of the wilderness ep part 1 & 2 follows a documentation of a time when the cheapers were together in a dark vault and they were only attending the on going outer world through a >white hole<. in chapter a1 they report about the mondane mess that interfuses through the small opening into their facultative dungeon. they aim towards their profile and fill their surface with melody and intoxication. b1 describes basseruptions in front of the white house and while buzzing, pouring oil onto the strings of their piano, to proove the efficiency of renewable soundenergies. their mission was succesfully kept a secret until rising winds released the manuskript blowing them out of the darkness to the cd of the current groove-magazine. finally all parts are official and available on upon you records.

after a some big remixes and a nice original outing this summer on get physical, catz n dogz return back to their home label. this time the guys team up with their friend, the hot producer, pol_on while also featuring the candid vocals of fellow mothershipper , monty luke. this is a great single to check out as we wait for their new 2nd album for mothership due out in the spring of 2010. the sexy analog sound of the original mix will fit well within any proper house set, but i particularly prefer the drama queen mix which breaks into a beautiful melodic section 3 quarters of the way through. groovy.

after the huge success of their first single from hatikvah on baalsaal by the name of “modern times“, hatikvah is back with the title track of their upcoming album “synchronicity“. on a1 we find the original version of “synchronicity“. the deepness from second 1 struck us right away on this one. while the twittering of the birds accompany the groove, florian suddenly drops the first line and you can feel it – this is gonna be special indeed. the perfect song to get a sneak peak of the upcoming album due beginning next year.

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.
