the unstoppable soul controller dj bone provides three mutant strains of unearthly detroit techno. from the funky jacking bassline driven æstrain 3&#8242,,,, to the the off-filter electronics of æstrain 4&#8242,,,, and the deeply emotive æstrain 5&#8242,,,, all three tracks speak of a futuristic world where the robots have taken control. however, as these three tracks demonstrate, the robots have got the funk.

its been 5 yrs since the last record was released on tetrode music. (the deep theory ep). the wait is over and the duo of damon lamar and specter have returned. this ep is picking up right where they have left off. deeply rooted in the underwater sound that have made the releases on tetrode must haves by heads around the world. side a is produced by specter and he drops his signature beatdown sound. >bazerko< is a stripped down minimal heater that builds up with 707 drums, sub bass and a hammond organ riff that really bring this track together. >nighthawk< is a beautiful laid out sunrise track. smooth drums, warm pads, and bubbly appregiated synths. inspiration drawn from larry heard and the deep techno sound of the 90Æs. side b is produced by damon lamar. >large crowd< is this beating track pulled and resurrected from the vault. heavy percussion loop, dirty bass, deep chords and a haunting vocal that must be heard to understand the meaning. >put it on ice< is a laid back downtempo track that shows the versatility of damon lamar. lush strings, dubby bass and melodic keys make it a track that just grooves and soothes the ear. tetrode music has returned with this solid offering and one thing for sure is the sound hasnÆt changed ... just more refined.

kyle geiger has enjoyed a rapid rise up the techno ranks thanks to two very well received releases on adam beyer s world famous drumcode label and a handful of high-profile remixes including reworks for marco bailey s mb elektronics label, la techno dons droid recordings and of course perc trax, where his recent remix of material object won the support of joey beltram, paco osuna, xpansul, laurent garnier, nihad tule, ivan smagghe, michel de hey and many more.

played by karotte, giles smith (secretsundaze), laurent garnier... already up to its 17th release, yore keeps rolling on, this time with a new release by memory foundation. in 1994 robert hood found his way into a dark basement somewhere in viennas suburbia. mr. hood was impressed by what he had heard, and with him a dat-tape took a long journey back to where techno was invented once. with their first appearance on detroits m-plant label 15 years ago, the memory foundation or one of their many alter egos found its way into the hearts and the record-bags of many serious electronic music lovers. in 1997, after setting up their own record labels central and together with jeremiah grow! and other releases on m-plant, 7th city or usm followed. the memory foundation now returns with their contribution for the yore camp, with their >reptiles in exile ep< they prove that they havent lost their magic touch. the track burns with electro-funk fire, with natural kit and cymbal sounds giving the already-surging cut extra thrust and the staccato burble of metallic chords adding berlin flavour. a lithe eight-note bass motif anchors the warm techno-funk of >bass traveller< as a flaring synth motif squiggles alongside rhodes chords and a boogieing clavinet line, and its easy to become so engrossed by the tunes relaxed swing that the artistry of its arrangement can go underappreciated. textbook body music, >summer visions< is an earthier, mid-tempo funk workout thats sure to get the dance floor crowded, while the light-speed closer >reptiles< blazes a slinky house trail whose fresh swing has got yore written all over it. with any luck, we wont be waiting twelve more years for the next memory foundation release

larry jon wilson is the first larry jon record in nearly 30 years. previously only available as a high priced import, larry jon wilson is now available, reasonably priced. in addition to his own originals, larry jon wilson performs songs by mickey newbury, dave loggins and stuart wright as well as willie nelson & bob dylans heartland.

lyrical wit is in abundance, magnified by russell maels soaring falsetto gymnastics. failure with the opposite sex is a recurring topic, from the adolescent fumblings of amateur hour to the resignation of falling in love with myself again. its easy to see why the teenage morrissey was a dedicated fan. the track that really grabbed the publics attention was this town aint big enough for both of us, a classic stomper with a gravity defying melody. 1974s kimono my house is the sound of sparks firing on all four cylinders, providing one of the most curious and comical albums of the 70s. freddie mercury wasnt the only operatic rocker on the block in the mid 70s. the genre was pretty much taken to its logical conclusion by ron and russell mael, the decidedly odd couple who formed the nucleus of sparks. dropping references to immanuel kant and yehudi menuhin, these boys werent your average dumb rock band. kimono my house was their third album, recorded after the brothers had relocated from la to london (where tolerance of tongue in cheek pomp pop was obviously much higher).

this is the first in a series of three various artist 12 inch releases, that features four of the dublin labels most trusted henchmen. puresthatreds >robbery< is his debut track on mantrap and what an awesome one it is: dark imposing bass and beats meet the sound of smashing glass, rave led keys and all round mayhem, with haunting strings that send this one into deepest hell. meeting him there is magnetize, who in one take supplied this evil vox led synth grinder in >distant observer< , with deft 808s and distorted crackling fx creating both a scary but grooving feel. rory st john pushes wobbly techno eccentricity on >dysentry<, with fluid editing and supreme use of effects proving again why he is one of the most exciting new talents around. sunil sharpes >print more money and shut up!< is a slippery mover, where a succession of unruly lead sounds accompany odd vocals and rasping hats - with a straightforward approach that will penetrate all in its way. so, four top class techno cuts here, all with their own unique character and all for peak time play.

this will be a big one in both techno and disco circles... do not sleep!
subdance is proud to announce their debut ep by the italian techno music legend lory d! last year we already heard some brand new things from lory, when, after 6 years without any new releases, he published two new twelve inches on the scottish label wireblock. æplisskenÆ on subdance is another stroke of genius from the roman as he comes up with two more classic examples of his unmistakable trademark sound, sombre and enigmatic, disturbing and fascinating, euphoric and energetic, powerful and direct! the a sideÆs æbank robberyÆ is a fresh interpretation of the track of the same name from john carpenter s æescape from new yorkÆ soundtrack. lory musically transports carpenterÆs apocalyptic visions of the last days into the new millennium. the brooding bass line and haunting atmospheres push the listener to an otherworldly dimension. this is loryÆs own masterpieceà lory d in technicolor and cinemascope! the b sideÆs ædisso bassÆ aims for the dance floors immediately. a perfect techno-electro track where exploding synthesizer cascades meet fragile melodies and archetypal lory d bass lines, each with a mind of their own. redshape, another techno music legend, is responsible for the mastering of both tracks. amazing stuff!

originally released on analytic trail at the end of 2007, c est la vie (and b-side oasi) marked the debut for joseph capriati. since this time capriati has gone on to become one of the hottest names in techno with releases on the scenes labels including drumcode, clr and sci and tec.
to celebrate the success of this favourite son of naples, analytic trail are releasing a staggering set of remixes of two tracks from joseph s debut release on the label from the best names in techno: umek, ramon tapia, xpansul, ortin cam, hauswerks, gaz james and abnormal boyz
first up to rework oasi is great stuff s ramon tapia. without doubt one of the names of 2009, tapia delivers a typically dramatic mix where sparse trial rhythms meet pulsing, offkilter melodies. hot new production duo hauswerks and gaz james keep up the pace with a more funked up version centered around a wicked rolling groove while homegrown neapolitan talent abnormal boyz offer up a stomping rework that twists things out with deep undulating bass.

2raumwohnung is back with their new single wir werden sehen taken from their upcoming longplayer lasso hitting the stores in late july. inga humpe and tommi eckart aka 2raumwohnung are definitely the most successful german club / pop duo to date. although their previous albums have always topped countless mainstream charts over the last years they never forgot where theyre coming from: the club scene! thats why they always keep on putting out groundbreaking dance remixes of their songs by top notch producers. this time its up to paul kalkbrenner, lately starring in the techno movie berlin calling and goodgroove & yapacc early morning extravaganza!

the mighty beat assassins return on mofo this time with a tidy collab with vocalist sweetie irie, and with a tip top remix from the one they call ac slater this release will put mofo back where it belongs, at the top of the pile!!

played by mathias kaden, sebo k, tobi neumann, karotte....there is a date this year in autumn you should keep in mind: the release of marcel knopfs first album on mos ferry. being a dj marcel knopf is used to fathom genre boundaries and now and then he dives into dubstep, electronica and realms of pop. with the single dusty dance you get a foretaste of the upcoming congenial longplayer. in its own way, his single enables an acoustic addiction of a thrilling style mix. these two tracks move in between smart techno and grooving illustrious house and points out, that knopf doesnt want to be bound to one musical direction. the title track and a-side of the single >dusty dance< is one of the floor fillers of his album. get ready for an enthralling groove, a monster break and a hook, where any bias against trumpets in the club is blown away. on the b-side youll find the oldschool frickling house track >rec-chord<, which reflects knopfs addiction for the beloved vinyl format. go out and get yourself a physical copy, to hear this nice and comfortable sizzling noise. its the best way to get a charming club feeling. and always remember: who buys first, may listen longer!

with electric rescue, the french dj d jedi, who is known all over paris, becomes a part of the cocoon family. he is connected with the development of techno in france already since the beginning of the nineties. despite being busy as a producer for commercials and soundtracks, he always finds some time to release exciting electronic music on imprints such as f comm, communique, elp media and paul nazcas label scandium, where he has released his debut album >el.ue< three years ago. with the two tracks on >the darkest star<, electric rescue succeeds in the daring feat of transforming the energy of rave tracks from the early nineties into the present time without producing an anachronistic impression. besides a tectonically shaking bass drum, the title track relies on the power of sound, a superlative of raw club energy with a twist of irony, which can set a surprising climax with a steadily rising noise level, even after almost ten minutes. >the devils dance< is grafting a comparably brute state-of-emergency techno in a somehow restrained way, rhythm-wise, but is no less effective with its distinctive acid sound effects. and who said that modern techno cant use the tradition of belgian rave-signal-floor-burners?

christopher spero a.k.a glimpse has really made a name for himself the way that producers and djs in this day and age should: by making tasteful music of the highest caliber, and putting substance over style. these two tracks co-produced with frequent collaborator and head of the hypercolour label, alex jones, put that said taste on display in a refined and elegant form of house music.true friends pumps right from the beginning with a chunky rolling kick drum only made denser by the thick brushing percussion that surrounds it. before the beats become to overwhelming a soothing male vocals drifts in reminding how hard it is these days to find a true friend. a stark tune of epic proportions. returning with a similar pressure from drum programming aesthetic, which basically means hefty percussion layered over warm and tumbling drums. æcambria sets itself apart from the a-side with a more open-air vibe. light piano notes float along side softly played wind instruments, creating a surreal dreamlike audio experience that still has the tools to do damage on the dance floor. glimpse and alex jones have really put some true style, grace and class into their music. masters at creating a distinctive sound that exist in the space where warm and lush tones meet musicality and stimulation. a summer record with good vibes scrawled all over it.

besides the sublime original version, the >bloodstream ep< also features three exclusive new mixes, each teasing out the songs grace and power in vivid and unexpected ways. the berlin-based producer and remixer henrik schwarz, one of germanys most respected djs, brings his trademark love of jazz and deep house to two separate versions.
schwarz s club mix re-engineers the track as a sleek dance tune, speeding up chris vocal into a restless, nervy, emotionally naked torch song. his dub version, meanwhile, builds into a hypnotic instrumental collage of bubbling beats, twinkling pianos and elastic basslines. at over seven minutes long, not a second is wasted.
by contrast, the chic parisian re-edit maestro pilooski strips the track down into a cubist collage of rhythmic throbs and sparkles, with a staccato piano melody pulsing through it like a heartbeat. it s a playful and vibrant fusion, where soul-baring yorkshire poetry meets sleek french disco chic.

for this the second release on irish dj jamie behans label bastardo electrico. the unstoppable soul controller dj bone provides three mutant strains of unearthly detroit techno. from the funky jacking bassline driven strain 3 to the the offkilter electronics of strain 4 and the deeply emotive strain 5 all three tracks speak of a futuristic world where the robots have taken control. however, as these three tracks demonstrate, the robots have got the funk.

incl. rmxs by alexander robotnick, savas pascalidis, workerpoor, romina cohn & ezequiel araujo !! this interstellar journey invites us on a rodeo tamer at first look, but emotional, a discoidal ballad through space, where you can meet kraftwerks robots and the cosmonauts from the >magic fly< video by space. >rodeo disco remixes< could be the original soundtrack of an imaginary movie, driven by legendary alexander robotnick, sexy romina cohn, frenchy workerpoor and groovy savas pascalidis..

the seventh release of restoration records is the celebration of the love between men and machines. sykon is true joy and happiness, it s the speech of the synthesizers, it s the passion for hardware samplers and sequencers, it s the addiction to the juicy sound of tape compression. as usual, no computer has been involved in the production of this record.
ôyes, the 4th dimensionö, by eduardo de la calle is a masterpiece of hermetic theories applied to advanced minimal techno. it s mental and involving, deep and solid. hi-tech reduced synthesized sound build up a never ending progression upon the strictness of its low tom layer. mystical energy tthat will kidnap everybody on the dancefloor.
in marieu s ôrootsö, you can hear all the trademarks of the boss of the label. dark, hypnotic and pumping, it developes a bouncing double bass line that breaks the atmosphere with an aggressive 808 kick. acid and funky at the same time, it s simply a time bomb.
on side b, lucretio s ôwhere youö is a superb synthesis of his detroit techno and uk-garage influences. relentless effective old-school drums run with a female vocal sample. soulful chords sing along balistic claps. an evocative string line introduces a touch of blues. a sweet sunset on the groove, a smooth weapon.
last but not least, a touch of class by the analogue cops: ôslowlyö. it s a down beat fusion of jazz and deep house. a monumental bass drum bursts a celestial big band interlude. a sexy 303 acid line, an elegant high-hat, a snappy snare. just few things but on the right place. a delight for your mind and for your body.

delusions hits the spot once again with number 3, this time highlighting the production skills of a certain zepp001. the seattle based disco obsessive has been leaking out high class edits over the years under a dizzying array of deliberately forgettable pseudonyms but feels the time is right to push his original tracks. who better then to make these beauties available for you discerning djs than delusions of grandeur. dont sleep is a dark, brooding groover with throbbing bass, cute cuica fills and intense strings that lalo schifrin would be proud of. a real heavy mood setter and as good an introduction to the sound of zepp001 as you re likely to need. next up we have the mighty revenge in for remix duties on dont sleep. the much hyped master of the edit keeps the vibe of the original well and truly in place but opts for an even more stripped back approach leaving all the space for crisp claps, slowly building strings and bowel wobbling bass. flip over for giraffe, a more upbeat affair where the filtered keys come to the fore and things steer in a hyped up deep house direction. show your luv...

varoslav from paris is up next on dirt crew with his i love us , an exciting new dj/production talent the label is very happy to be friends with. this ep sees varoslav team up with paris-based trio and long time friends dop (circus company) who all of you may well know from their current live crazyness and deep jams in the clubs out there … varoslav is a new talent rising amongst the parisian new house scene! playing in his groovy, sexy and energetic style sliding from tech to deep house is apparent in his releases also. when he isnt working on his own music he is found at supplement facts working along side guy gerber, another great label where varoslav released his first records. recently varoslav has a huge bomb out there with his >dont stop< bootleg that is being caned by people like ricardo villalobos and ellen allien … this ep has a little bit of everything for the house, tech house and even breakz lovers. with two very nice remixes full of variety from varoslavs friend david k (freak n chic, cocoon). his smashing breakz remix is a sure destroyer, with its phat beats and pumping bass line it is one of his most outstanding tracks ever. with the vinyl featured house mix david goes deep into the house groove and gives you his typical epic deep house flow.

itÆs been a couple of years since victim last released a full 12, but just like the buses you wait that long and then two come along at once. for victim, the >off piste< 12 follows hot on the heels of their split 12 with jerome hill & dont recordings. in the case of ben pest, they are coming thick and fast at the moment, with a recent release on lukes angers bonus round label, and an upcoming 12 on the seriously deranged panic bridge label. so, all in all a busy few months. as for the tracks, they all share in common a seriously weighty bottom end, and a tendency for crunchy acidic midsàbut that is kinda where the similarities end, as ben takes the opportunity to explore various avenues off the main street of techno. from the stomping acid workout of >zeedonk< to the more electro-influenced beats of >pain n gain< this is a record that covers a fair few bases (basses?), although all with the aim of thrilling a crowd that enjoys their techno on the gnarly side.

after a little winter hiatus, the selfmade millionaire returns offering two fresh treats of escapism in these hard times of recession and depression: rockin & poppin tells the simple story of a surprise-party at 2am over at mr. bs where our protagonist is overwhelmed by the extreme density of funky music and ladies. so he gets down right away to rock it, pop it and break it on down, end of story. a rare and honest piece of music for both the breaker and the modern soul affectionado! heading for depression on the other hand reminds us of the dire situation our economy is in, while it encourages to keep the boogie going anyway even though lifes getting rougher and tougher day by day. equipped with a groove so heavy its got a moon in orbit, this serious choon will cause blissful oblivion on any dancefloor.

from out of a clear blue sky comes ?my electric family?, the second full-length and third all-round release from new zealand?s bachelorette. bachelorette?s music beams to us through a universe of unconquered pop music, where long beams of sunlight extend to infinity, and blue moons rise wistfully in the deep purple expanse. she stands in the cradle of modern songwriting, that of psychedelic pop music. the sense of infinite possibility felt in those songs, the desire to manipulate a collective sensation to become anything at all, informs bachelorette?s journey. bachelorette?s song structures are traditionally examinations of love and longing, the exploration of self versus self and in relation to the surrounding, silent universe. the songs of ?my electric family? emphasize a particular fascination: the meeting of man and machine. ?my electric family? is an arresting development in the world of sweet pop music.

he s the man of the moment. james nidecker, rising star of the dutch technoscene, is always sure to raise an eyebrow or two. not only his djsets, where the amsterdam based artist is often getting the crowds wild with his dark gothpunklike outfits, but also his recent productions can be called mindblowing. nidecker perfectly knows how to combine his dark vocals with uplifting beats, combining influences from electro and minimal techno. s.t.a.l.k.e.r is the culmination of his talents, a hit record already wandering around the dutch clubscene for a while, now finally released on alexander koning s upstruct imprint.
the aside of this release provides a more than outstanding remix from dave ellesmere. renowned for his collaboration with producer 2000 and one under their name microfunk, but nowadays also reaching international fame under his own guise, ellesmere turns s.t.a.l.k.e.r into an ideal dj tool. with a length close to nine minutes, his mix slowly takes the funk of nidecker s rhythms to an upwinding, more techhouse based floorburner.
the other side of this ep is more about the clubs, with dutch dj producer georgio schultz and alexander koning together transforming s.t.a.l.k.e.r into a housetrack like there s no other. here, the unique vocals of nidecker are combined with more melodic, sometimes crazy sounds, always keeping the original flow of the track alive, but taking the best parts of this clubhit to a next level.

plays by:shlomi aber, alexander koning, karotte, shinedoe, namito, dubfire, raresh, ellen allien, bart skils, gel abril, laurent garnier, anderson noise, nuno dos santos etc

william (theodore) burnett aka speculator started his own diy record label and came up with this stunning piece of vinyl.. two shit hot tracks on a split release from $tinkworx and kinoeye. what a killer 12! the sharkman brings us a deeep techno track with moody piano lines, drexciyan athmosphere and a shit load of depth. typical $tinky material that seems to go deeper and deeper over 10+ intense minutes. then.. we have the flip side by kinoeye (aka datahata) with a shockingly dirty techno house cut.. a deep dirty groove and repetitive vocals that pull you even deeper then where the a side ended. absolute killer tracks here on this nice obscure new imprint from brooklyn. we love it!!

what a manifest for deep house no bonds to minimal, no rave anthem, no disco revival. just tidy tunes, where the soul is always immanent. in this respect, a track such as we never grow up is a subtle misunderstandingn, because subsky, he is already. all three tunes use elements of dubknowledge. the delays and synths are more expansive than usual. especially æspacey sense is craving for open-airs and sunsets. support from osunlade, scope, dj yellow, spiritchaser, tim white, sammy rock, henri kohn, santorini, dean serafini & more!

in a subterranean tunnel, halfway between las vegas and new york is a small after hours venue where the walls are covered in red velvet and the floor littered with dreams and broken promises. over the soundsystem is the trace of a groove, deep and stark, cut into a vinyl that was already worn down before it was played the first time. welcome to the afterparty that never finishes. be careful where you put the drink!

first extract of his forthcoming album alone, words in a bottle sits right where we like to sit: at the border between house and techno. it s got the funk, the rhythm, the tribal beats and bassline that make you move. and its got the techno soul too. it s got the devil inside, but still feeds your mind with atmospheric waves of deepness. on the flipside, rodriguez jr., one half of french techno celebrities the youngsters, delivers the kind of remix you usually dream of but are never sure you re gonna get. it s a funky dark techno affair, with a killer hook.

after her intense its all about survival in 2007 for the oceans species sampler (deep explorer 008), heres the comeback of the lady blacktronika to deep explorer as an exclusive ep where lady b write, produce and even perform the vocals in one of the tracks with her personal style, dirty house under the influence of the motown soul. lady b is part of the cocaine collective, new talents in the underground scene like the dj and producer mattski who collaborates in one of the tracks of the ep . also featuring a special remix from dubbyman & above smoke.

nice price deal !!! essential & deep album by the man monoder aka jussi pekka! timeless beauty ! monoder. born in the cold north among industrial warehouses, people wearing only gray and random rabbits crossing the streets. his home town has two-lane streets which were made for the mass movement that never happened. physically close to civilization but mentally light years away. with the economic regression hitting hard, the town is filled with unemployed and old people wandering the streets and trying to find out what went wrong. like zombies of a mental desert. monoder. though the name sounds familiar, he has nothing to do with italodisco or electropop. the music, as the name, is filled with cold, stripped down and hypnotic atmospheres. taking you on a trip filled with hunger, cold breeze, forests and frozen tundra. the studio is on the roof-level of abandoned rubber factory, where disillusioned entrepreneurs try to get their daily bread doing what ever. moist pushing from the sealing and walls. water dripping during the mixdown. someone pulling cargo in the hallway.

maybe there is no such thing as an autobiographic song in electronic dance music but valentino kanzyanis 33 certainly comes as close as it gets. marking the artists 33rd birthday in 2008 – the christs years as one would say in his home country of slovenia – the record was intended as a symbolic milestone in his highly successive career. as an artist who loves being surrounded by a crowd in professional as well as in personal life kanzyani soon began organizing huge birthday parties where he performed together with his friends. the sets were readily released on promo records, which received a lot of attention. finally, kanzyani & tomy declerque took it a step further by canalising the motivating atmosphere of their summer performance into a full-fledged studio release.

charted by gergor tresher further support by: tom stephan, jerome sydenham, noir, atle, djuma soundsystem,.. a: papperlapapp a hit for djs with balls!! as usual from rune rk, this sounds like nothing else. a very catchy melody mashed up with that classic 101 bassline, makes this a monster on the right system. watch out for the buildups, and let the break run through, because thats where this track really shines. btw papperlapapp is german slang for >nonsense<, so the title seems quite fitting :-) b: filter games (rune rk remix) sommerfugl is a butterfly in danish, and thats exactly what this track is.

(gatefold packaging) ..a record where rhythmic dancefloor tracks fluently take turns with organic sounding jam sessions, warm and jazzy, deep and funky.
