do you know gummihz? the gummihz that hails from greece but was raised on a steady diet of chicago and new york house? the gummihz that sings? the gummihz that incorporates disco, electro, jazz, and chanson into his productions? well if you don t, now you will. the >sleepless nights< double 12 inch is gummihz first release on mobilee since >under the sun< and is a radical departure from anything we ve ever heard from gummihz ù or even mobilee ù before. gummihz multidimensional production abilities allow him to dig deep into his roots and influences on the one hand while simultaneously exploring new, uncharted territory on the other. alternatingly retro and futuristic, this two-part ep series is a portrait of gummihz as an artist from a variety of angles, one we ve only seen fragments of up until now. one might view this ep as an attempt on gummihz behalf to explore his musical roots in a contemporary context, with the end result being a strikingly varied yet cohesive statement of gummihz musical and artistic leanings. on the one hand, gummihz delves into his past, with tracks such as >sunshine dub< and >bang< fusing the samples, cut-offs, and filtered loops of french house with an almost balearic, hypnotic twist. on the flip-side, we also get a snapshot of gummihz at his most somber ù>love call<, featuring vocals from gummihz himself, has a jackin house beat but bears no resemblance to the cheery sounds of chicago house on which our grecian friend was raised. instead, he favors a cloudy, almost cold-blooded vibe, with chilling lyrics manipulated to the point of near-indecipherability (bringing to mind the brilliant vocal work of the knife and fever ray) with a final product that is nonetheless aptly suited for the dance floor.

big with nick curly, agoria, laurent garnier, anthony collins, nima gorji, jimpster, tim xavier, brothers’ vibe, einzelkind, ripperton, dyed soundorom, italoboyz, stephan bodzin, thomas schumacher, gavin herlihy.. alexis bernard aka seuil returns to freak n chic this autumn with freak & violence, a two tracker which sees the parisian leader-of-the-new school take his impeccable sound into deeper, late-night territory. with huge releases for eklo and moon harbour since his last ep for freak nchic, seuil has been a name on many a lip and with this sort of output its likely to remain that way. warm synths and a tweaked spoken vocal dominate the title track, freak & violence. the synths have an ethereal, trippy vibe but are balanced by ultra-dry, ultra-groovy drums while the vocal slips in and out of audible significance which makes for a hugely absorbing listen.

we are more than proud to deliver you this biggie. it is the first collaboration between those heavyweights of the deep house scene, who both dont need a further introduction. the don from nyc and the dons from milan deliver this deep vocal bomb. kerri chandler himself sings, while no other than dj spinna spoils us with a remix. of course also the label head honchos harley & muscle deliver their deep interpretation of their song. you wont lie, when you pretend this to be a future classic!supported by jimpster (uk), laurent garnier (fr), c rock (de), yass (fr), dj deep (fr), claude monnet (us), jay j (us), julius papp (us), jammie thinnes (us), fred everything (us), dj pippi (es), demarkus lewis (us), jamie lewis (ch), aaron ross (us), ralf gum (de)...

minimal music has the reputation to create alot of little. alexander pavlenko, a talented producer from ukraine, is here to change all that and even raise the bar while he is at it! you cant deny this young mans skills for production and minimalism, no cheesy lines, no blips and blobs that we all heard a 1000 times allready. >carbon black< is one of those tunes you will instantly remember.. it sounds so crispy, so clean, so... pavlenko.. and it sticks inside your head like chewing um sticks to your hair.. the flip is no different. on >error 99< pavlenko keeps the drive a bit lower but the effectiveness is immense. dark vibes combined with even darker basslines make this one error you cant call the helpdesk for.

mark stewarts first new material for 2009 has been a long time coming and features three new tracks recorded earlier on this year.
>chadderton< on the a-side is an astonishing slice of deep and woozy midnight house, complete with sleazy chords and a frayed spine that is primed for peaktime narcosis.
>above< opens the flip with relentless chords and a shuffling percussive line that never lets up, while >great day< closes the ep with a cathartic spell that ends almost as soon as it begins, letting in rays of sunshine through the dense thicket of sound that preceeded it.

since the begining of the century underground is the ibizas meeting point of clued up music lovers and best international artists who made this club an outstanding place while staying out of the commercial scene. being the home of the vinyl club recordings label events from the first days it is naturally that underground and vinyl club team up to present the new imprint. vinyl club s owner luc ringeisen and underground s soul and dj don juanito deliver 2 deep house tracks that have been tested on the best dance floors around. underground records will present the best works of the international artits crew who made ibiza underground a legend.

this record is just so wooow it hurts to close the gap. it s like it says on the tin of cliches: >the definition< is giving you a concise description of where soul clap, the humorous boston-based house duo, is heading. well, not quite: more where they have arrived, actually. they have found their style. eleven out of ten! this is light years away from the sick >puppy crack< anthem that left you with wobbly legs. get ready to be completely overwhelmed as the sassy producers beamed themselves into futuristic groove heavens while staying firmly grounded on the proto 90s floor. right on!

let me do yore starts off in tribal mode and then adds triangle and shakers to its relaxed percussive groove before shuttling off into the stratosphere where sheets of synthetic slivers dart past at lightning speed, the tracks bottom heavy pulse builds in intensity as claps and soulful voice swirls bring a delirious vibe to the proceedings. following a detroit tinged intro, a moment of truth slides into place with congas and claps helping it find its way. sizzling hi hats and a thumping kick drum deepen the groove while a funky bass line provides hip shaking accompaniment and marks the return of a house legend, who’s still at his best. soul never goes out of style, right?!

passion sound (inner beauty) is designed to exemplify the inner passion of an individual, while maintaining the outer crust of a chicago sound. it is well true that tevo howard found it necessary for this artistic track to make it to vinyl. he has said that the tracks elegance is the perfect potion for a bgr vinyl release. while inter tribal is slower paced, and somewhat crosses bands of what one would expect to hear from the machine drums used to create it, inter tribal as a track is also meant to even out the energy of this conceptual vinyl piece as a whole. dreamers reason is simply the title track to tevo howards first full scale album, which will be released in coming months. on this particular vinyl selection, bgr 7, a bonus mix titled, (deep reason mix), is included, whereas it will not be included on the full scale album.

i ve been playing ortins track at big gigs for quite a while at peak times, with the advent & industrialyzer interpreting it its great to release these two fine pieces of work that have purpose and conviction says luke slater about the next release on his mote evolver label. the boundary pushing mind set slater brings to his own planetary assault systems creations is a key characteristic of the music he selects for mote evolver. this release from ortin cam is a prime example.

lessizmore continues with a striking fresh release from its new darker serie noire imprint. kane roth is working towards a mix of psycho-reactive minimal techno while tim xavier redefines kama sutra with playful bass lines.
kane s kama sutra is focused on a melodic audion-like gimmick. the track is remarkable by the use of typically pitched down vocals and massive kicks, it viciously hooks the listener.
yearning begins with strange and dark sounds but after three minutes holds the line with simple yet magnificent synth layers. in this track, kane is close to robag wruhme s delicate vision of techno music.
the remix of kama sutra constantly thumbs our nose at. tim xavier arrangements are mapped out with calculated intent, he pushes the track into a brilliant fun and never-ending roller coaster.

hardgroove #12 is in da house and ben sims sets it on fire! once again he grooves it harder while keeping the funk!

following up the intrusion & paul st. hilaire project comes a new release from the intrusion imprint which offers a killa selection of steppas riddims and tropical grooves. intrusions >velocity in a minor< is all about being playful with a sequence, splicing a riddim, stimulating the mind while shuffling your feet. this concludes with the mysterious lo-fi soundsystem up next who make their first 12 inch appearance on intrusion (previously recording under a variety of names strictly on 45) their powerful >de lions den< has been given a second lease on life from its scarce 45 release, (which was only available at a few small record shops in jamaica) this island groove is filled with the dankiest skanks, a melodica on acid and a bassline deeper than the ocean. this mystical midnight groove is given a rework in a 4/4 rhythm and effects from deep space, behind the controls is intrusion front man stephen hitchell who leaves us with a tasty embellishment in fat riddims and icey cold electronics. the b side opens with mildious >de natura rerum< which crosses into territory comparable to intrusions >tswana dub< or the atmospheric dub side of rhythm & sound, a powerful mind melter which does all the rights things in all the right time. the closing >oceanview< paints a picture of just that, leaving you to wander off into the ocean breeze while sinking into its smoky green vapour haze.

a temporary sabbatical from gigs was taken and the band wrote material for where were you when it happened in new orleans midtown district, where their rawboned compositions resembled the katrina-pummeled surroundings. with their girlfriends with them in as close to a stableenvironment as they d been in months, they were able to tap a darker, more personal side in songs like as noise, and hunt you down, with its mournful, organ drenched air belying monotonixs typical good time charlie posturing, while fulfilling the albums need for a climactic, balladic moment. where were you when it happened? finds monotonix visiting a greater diversity of places within their sound while still retaining their minimal appeal. mostly though, where were you when it happened works up a sweat with raw rock and roll, acid guitar licks and riffs, screaming choruses and, in general, the wildness of monotonix in a way that makes for repeated album listening (and pummelling). where most bands refine their production sound as they go forward, monotonix have reverse refined themselves, playing dirtier and more energetic to capture the lightning they are known for.

loco dice support! its been a while since itamar sagis last release on be as one, when black gold and its remixes got into the most various record boxes around and became one of last year anthems. now, after a row of releases on soma, ovum and klapklap which consolidated his ever growing profile, itamar is back on his home imprint, with a real summer treat. in perfect sagis style, the a side >selio< is an uplifting and punching slab of techno, with a real fat beat and itamars distinctive trademark chord sound. once again another track to be one of the anthems of 2009. b side >series 1< is instead a paced down and trippy number. very atmospherical in the mood but with a bouncy groove, still carries the artist quality imprint. perfect for the summer ending.

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

tube10 returns to the scene again with a release to blow your minds away. this time its the greek formation ekelon. their debut on planet mu with headhunter on mary anne hobbs evangeline had us in our grasp so much that we couldnt help ourselves then to hit them up and see what whould happen. tube10 005 is the result of this encounter and it shows ekelon flexing their crossover sound like no other. is it techno? is it dubstep? we dont know but we sure as hell love both tunes to bits!
the a side evidence - a steady tune in the ekelon sets and lots of others aswell. feel this tune filling up the speakers and rumbling up those subs we thought where lost.. a perfect blend between all that is experimental while keeping it dj friendly..flip it over for freeze land.. an chilled out tundra of techno, thats how we like to call it.. frozen subs combined with defrosted stepping vibes ensures this to be a solid first release for the ekelon boys.. and dont worry this wont be their last!

a full length album with ten times stunning and bombastic acid invented by an impressive list of madmen: ceephax, luke vibert, eod, darcangelo, kettel, jtc, db, anders ilar, chris moss acid and ardisson. all tunes are drenched in high quality acid, some come in a hybrid, melodic idm form, while others are pretty nostalgic and full of ecstacy. still another bunch of songs are rough, uncompromising and truly from the sewer. a massive compilation, far away from reality and designed for a big night of hedonistic mayhem. comes with an amazing psychedelic cover thats synthetic and organic at the same time! check it out

australias canyons (who you might recognize from their excellent releases on modular, hole in the sky, etc.) are featured for their debut release on the esteemed nyc label. fire eyes takes the a side with its deep disco house rhythms topped off with growling diva vocals, acid synths and all kinds off jungle sounds and percussion. they re definitely taking it there and it sounds huge. dancing on silk is on the flip with more female vocals, this time a lot more playful and sexy, over a warping disco beat complete with dubbed out horn solos and arpeggios. also includes the jaques renault living in the jungle mix of fire eyes that strips down the original while adding tight key stabs and dubby vox for more of a straight forward house groove

nice price deal !!! the songs on yachts debut album see mystery lights from the bouncy, burbling you cant take it with you screed the afterlife (which plays like a less spastic companion piece to the mae shis run to your grave) to the roller rink ready vocoder vocals of im in love with a ripper represent yacht at their most poppy. its a collection of stone jams that finds the band finally as hellbent on experimenting and expanding the boundaries of its sonic scope as it is on having fun. built on electronic foundations laser effects, skittering computerized beats, and spacey synth lines (or guitar riffs that have been tuned or distorted to sound like synths) these new songs are giddy with creative freedom while remaining tethered in service of their melodies. the vocal melodies are bright and buoyant, but delivered (by either band member, or in unison) in a chanted, oftentimes detached monotone that plays up the repetitive lyrics mantra like feel and adds a welcome undercurrent of slacker cool to their otherwise sugary optimism.

in spring of 2006, jackpot began to fester in a stockholm apartment. without fresh air or natural light, the group developed its uniquely mutant strain of italo disco mixed with early 80s body music aided only by the sickly blue rays of late night tv. while the jackhammer rhythms of their music were proliferating in stockholm, jackpot dove into the deepest recesses of the electronic dance music psyche for the most primal of all rhythmic impulses - their own unmistakable sound - the sound of western culture falling apart in a blaze of shudders and hiccups. as late night sci fi reruns colored the room, jackpot also picked and chose amongst the psychotic debris of previous eras - the movies of kenneth anger, the music of suicide, velvet underground and bruce haack, the words of william s burroughs. and then they added the junkiest element of all - themselves. after two critically acclaimed records, the third chapter of the jackpot saga is about to be told. its called greased lightning (also features remix work from such talents as in flagranti and rory phillips). you hear that beat? thats them knocking on your door.

westpark unit (aka herb lf & ingo saenger) are back with their annual release on farside records after some work for labels like dessous, tjumy, future classic or fear of flying. this time, they provide 4 brandnew trax for the vinyl edition. more forever might be familiar to a few people that followed the music of westpark unit over the years. the tune is a special rework of their first ever limited 12inch release forever back in 2002 on draft recordings. more forever took some of the original deep harmonies, keeps parts of the piano loop and the beautiful sampled hook and should be a soulful bomb on the 2009 floors. even deeper 45 grows and grows with a very intensely chord, takes you on a trip with its driving bassline and is the other dubby deep house tune here. the first demo version received some nice feedback / chartings / plays from djs like dplay, matt flores or shur i kan. while speaking of house (not house), jam hot and familiar sequence are musically caught somewhere in between the styles. jam hot might be more funk than house with sexy 104 bpm, is bouncing like hell and keeps the crowd shaking and moving. familiar sequence appeals to the disco fanatics out there, has a little of a balearic vibe and is also keeping things slow. both tunes are the perfect startup into the night. we think this is the right tempo for party anyway.

cant get a job, dont want a job, fuck work.
the savant guard, brooklyns little label with the big sound, comes roaring back with this summers irresponsibility anthem, fuck work.

lost for 30 years - unreleased masterpieces by disco legend patrick cowley and indoor life singer jorge socarras - remixed by morgan geist (metro area) & kink (rush hour)! first single from the forthcoming album “catholic” by patrick cowley & jorge socarras. “soon” is a dark proto-techno track with hypnotic lyrics and warped synths, while “robot children” builds on a rigid sequencer bassline and futuristic sounddesign. these masterpieces were lost for 30 years and get released for the very first time! the first remix comes from no one less than metro area’s morgan geist - and it’s arguably one of his best mixes to date. responsible for environ’s unclassics series, he certainly was the first call for the job. his rework transforms cowley’s trademark production sound into 2009, respectful for authenticity and forward thinking at the same time. rush hour’s kink has turned heads with his incredible production skills and live appearances. his remix of “soon , derived from the original’s drum machine sounds, catapults the track to the future. bass heavy with a rugged beat, this is one to cross boundaries from techno to dubstep to experimental!

cosmic metal mother strikes again, this time on argentos very own label, panacustica. here comes >twice,< a brilliant new 12inch inch with remixes from professor genius (italians do it better, u.s.a) and baby ford (ifac, u.k.). on the first cut, the mother explores deeper grooves in a more organic fashion, letting an ethereal, trippy, melodic piano line unfold on a solid, spaced-out disco groove. the remixes of this hypnotic monster are just as strong as the original. professor geniuss >ragazza mix< elaborates on the melody, delivering a layered synth stomper right to the floor, while baby fords remix deconstructs the track into pumping, minimal, machine funk, typical of his incredible trademark sound. panacusticas first 12 inch delivers pure soulful psychedelia.

rebolledo is an artist from xalapa, mexico, who is very much part of the comeme family of latin american artists. he s been around from the early days when he used to provide music for the buenos aires based bumbumbox street parties. so far he s had tracks on previous comeme releases, notably pitaya frenesi, but this is his first full release on his own. rebodello is the consummate comeme artist, with a quirky sense of humour, a unique latin american approach to dance music and a lean lo-fi approach to track making that is built to cut through on any sound system. lead track >guerrero< follows in comemes now established strange sense of humour, guerrero means warrrior and is a track about a >guerrero< who comes out at night and dresses in leather, it s all shouted vocals simple beats and 80s style synths. venganza y seduccion means vengeance and seduction and features suggestive panted echoing vocals over a cosmic disco bassline, while atmospheric chords build in the background, if this sounds strange it s because it is, but the combination works really well in a club.
the b side of the record is much harder and more techno-like - marchante is completely different, aggressive kick drums, a pulsing bassline and siren-like synths bring this track a panicked feel, which is offset by the way the drums build into tough patterns. raid features strange nonsense vocals over a pulsing rhythm track that reminds of old chicago acid, if it wasn t for the strange atmosphere. rebodello is a very welcome addition to the world of dance music.

with this new ep tom clark makes an impressive return to the highgrade release program. following a collaboration with marcus schatz and most recently with benno blome, he now comes back as a solo artist. after only a few beats, you’ll be sure to recognise his signature sound. tom needs surprisingly few elements to build a unique atmosphere and his matchless grooves. on the title track “scorpio“ we find a deep, rolling bassline and a slightly orientally influenced vocal, combined with the typically unique clarkish synth leads, and we’re ready to go. it’s a track that continually keeps the excitement moving while never letting the cat out of the bag, and more than deserves the a-side. then we come to “albino“, also featuring sparkling synths and rolling drums that create an impression of fluidity and an unhurried beginnings, but we also end up in a waterfall… who would have known!? in conclusion comes “sand flea“, as lively as a box of fleas, but not nearly as aggrivating! mister clark is again at his best, with a love for detail, an innate sence for strange sounds and an a significant quantity of leisurely energy, this tune also really hits the mark. this is not the work of a newbie who produces an aggressive sound to prove his talents. the result is the feature of this ep: seldom has an understatement sounded so fresh. + digital-only bonus track “12 notes“!

now techno has its own fair trade. basmati, the new label by gabriel ananda (artist direction) and marcel janovsky (management), does not indulge in pretentious bragging. in fact, its not even supposed to have a release sheet like this one. but sometimes, youre even too modest to stay away. so, whats it all about? well, the music, of course. and only the music. organic stuff, so to speak. tracks made by pure immersion. no plans, no blueprints. just going with the flow, unleashing the inner krautrock while staying true to the basics of techno. gabriel and friends at their best. inhale

its been a while, but the minimo imprint is finally back on track. and with a killer release that is!! ultra funky minimal techno music that will appeal to a very wide audience. well worth the waiting for this release!! big tunes..

support from : d.diggler, someone else, joseph capriati, martin eyerer!!! it s summer of 2009, at least once in a while, in germany. with silent heroes, martin woerner delivers an absolute adequate sound for warm and sweaty outdoor partys. but just as well, the sound is suitable for wonderfull dumpish afterhour sunrises. the track yelp isn t that dreamy, but doesn t rise less emotions and it ll defenitely also find his supporters! fact is: even if one can still recognize the typical sound of martin woerner, this release sounds different in some way. in addition, it foreshadows different stylistic facings of him and more of these can be expected hereafter. due to those circumstances, a new sublabel named inclusion records limited has been created in cooperation with the distributor (dbh-music). make sure that you keep informed for the future!

naum gabo is a project of jonnie wilkes (optimo) and james savage. this 12 inch shows the slower side of dance music with links to german progressive rock or more psychedelic music.
>black lab< is a slow cosmic dancer, while the remix by japanese nu disco artist discosession is deep and gorgeous slowhouse. >torus< is like a pre-techno sound which came from progressive rock.
