osbornes ruling came out on influential us label spectral sound earlier this year, and has been racking up some fantastic support already. an emotive piece of lush deep house, ruling is an unashamed throwback to the early halcyon days of chicago and new york house music. a perfect slice of deepness for the warmer months...shur i kan is becoming ever present on the nrk roster of late, hes one of our favourite brit producer/remixers, and he stays faithfull to the original mix of ruling here but drags it onto the dancefloor somewhat with some stronger beats and heavier bottom end. king britt, meanwhile, opts for a heady, darker pounding drum remix, with spacious chords and freeform jazz flicked riffs. a little scubambient mix is also included here...

played by loco dice, l.garnier, dixon, prins thomas... big remixes by daniel stefanik & jackmate outstanding release!! champagne or water – which one is more suitable for a small label jubilee? well, probably its best to celebrate such an event with a superb release. after the highly appreciated compilation >moon harbour inhouse vol. 2<, moon harbour throws in 12inch number 30 by its very own mario >marlow< weise. alongside label founder matthias tanzmann he has been part of the moon harbour family right from its start, having had two veritable hits during the last two years with >movin< and >quiet<, both together with singer dehlia/franziska grohmann. his new track >water< (b2) breathes fresh air into the almost forgotten genre of deep house. organic elements meet detailed sound work and subtle pop appeal. with singer claudia nehls at the mic, warm chords, handmade bass and a surprising guest appearance of the flute >water< is the perfect companion for the sweet melancholy of early summer days.... big re-release !!!

claremont 56 sublabel with another collection of stunning disco tracks. track one is a peak into the album by jaz that will be released later this year and is a driving disco number for peak times. on the flip manchester s cosmic janes edits are not the obvious choice of tracks...but therefore much more interesthing then many of the edits combg out these days. diving into the 80s obscure pop releases we have some excellent tracks that will get the party started!!

huge 2x12inch to celebrate the 15th birthday of new yorks longest running most influential garage label. king street has decided to release a commemorative album featuring the worlds leading producers/djs picking 15 of their all time faves from the extensive catalog. contributors include: david morales, satoshi tomiie, joey negro, joe t vannelli, josh wink, joe claussell, danny krivit, dj gregory, simon dunmore, quentin harris, kerri chandler, ame, louie vega, tony humphries, and rasmus faber

this is a second single cut from kuniyukis 2nd album >all these things<. kuniyukis music is always deep, warm and musical, its a quit rare on these days

rhodes accents and analog synth melodies, while a vocal chorus ups the soul ante during the marching strut of who am i, a beautiful example of timeless house music if there ever was one. in futuristic funk, a looped voice incessantly repeats too late now, thereby adding a touch of delirium to the tunes stomping swing, after which the vocal line expands into the chanted pray for brighter days / too late now / lose myself in the future / too late now. warmed by old-school synth flourishes, congas, and rhodes melodies, millers rich and seductive club music makes surrender the only possible proposition and a release so rarely deep and musical, which is therefore not to be missed.

glaswegian alex smoke aka mr. menzies, the man who helped kick start vakant in those blissfully uncorrupted early days, returns with a fresh no-frills attack since his last hanged man ep, va013, 1and half years ago. a sides whirrfless funky abrasiveness stomps heads in a way alter ego would if they were happier people and saw more sun. b1 fud paces along with sprightly spring in its step half cheeky, half roboadventure reminiscent of the early days of perlon. b2s onomatopoetic flingclunk zealously jacks for itself. it is all glory minus the glam and trans-fats. smoke, adding to the current relentless vakant onslaught, makes every reveler feel as limber as 14 year old russian gymnast

hot on the heels of the fantastic guy j ‘geko’ bedrock keep up the pressure with a storming release from techno maestro christian smith. this techno tinged 2 tracker, will delight both house and techno heads alike as christian brings his trademark sound of days gone by, back up to date with fantastic results. with its beautiful pads rising over a hypnotic bassline and chunky percussion, ‘flyer talk’ is a driving melodic builder guaranteed to have the floor on fire. on the flipside we have ‘friendly skies’ which takes on a similar vibe with more of a hook. the big funky bassline is going to make it tough to choose between which one to play! – my advice: play them both!

phat james ruskin remix!-glory days raw

solid 4 track electro techhouse ep... seven days and one week is a incredible remake of bbes classic... but the other three tracks rocks the floor too

daniel mehlhart steps up to the plate for kindischs seventeenth release, origami - an exquisitely deep, languid house jam laced with strung-out, processed spanish guitar and gently euphoric xylophone arpeggios. >origami< is languid, yes, but not exactly laid-back: its held up and propelled forward by a gently vibrating lattice of kickdrum and snare hits, through which a dubby, molten bassline and taut, time-keeping chords dreamily but determinedly flow. the perfect soundtrack to the mixed pace of summers long days and even longer nights. mehlhart harks back to his acclaimed past releases on karmarouge and neutonmusic for >alles klar alles easy<, which sees brushed drum and shaker sounds edited into a quietly explosive techno work-out with serious swing. >fata morgana< begins in a more linear, four-to-the-floor style, but those percussive flourishes quickly accrue into something more strange, and then out of the ether comes an entrancing, south american-style chorus line. the voices mingle imperceptibly with woodblock strikes and caustic snares, injecting the techno dna >fata morgana< with a sick and psychedelic voodoo funk. with this 12inch kindisch once again proves itself to be a preeminent stable for experimental, expressive dancefloor music, and daniel mehlhart affirms his status as one of our most daring and capable producers

ultraphat 2 track ep with perfect hyptnotic & groovy summer tunes, just a big one

you dont want it is a throw back to the good ol days in every sense, with william reelsoul on the beats and miss patty providing the hook to get you and any party on the dance floor.

tema 5 is the definitive journey into its world made of electronic funk & soul, or as they call it in detroit hi-tech funk

om records is proud to present fred everything s first single from his upcoming artist album out in july. >here i am< features everyone s favorite house vocalist, lisa shaw (naked music / salted music) as well as premiere remixes from shur-i-kahn and fred everything himself. lisa shaw, a close friend of fred, brings forth her calming vocals that lighten the mood in >here i am<. doing shows together everywhere across the globe enabled the two to truly sync their musical talents together. goals for this track were to get a vintage, lush feeling. with the help of tim k (home & garden) arranging the strings, this enticing track sets the stage for an effortless unification of songs to come

including lytz >3 days awake<, jean claude ades & vincent thomas >shingaling< and crookers >knobbers<

again the tracks were selected carefully, each of them strong on personality and waiting to burst out and put the willies up anyone who believes that techno can be pigeonholed. cue bjorn svin (of mand over board fame) and a brooding monster of a tune that briefly saw a release on his excellent 1999 lp benene pa nakken and was included on the la monde (aka len fakis) at the wheels of steel mix cd the following year. believe that this track is a killer one of those inspired pieces of techno that sticks in your head for days after hearing it for the first time next up label boss jerome hill lets his bass out in the comedic rel und pol, a dancefloor workout with a syncopated speech running throughout. flip over for rob stow and im going to kill her put simply this is nasty (in a nice way) a riff that tears you a new one and edits and tricks galore, this ones gonna give the speakers a battering! last but certainly not least, switzerlands ki yota from mercurochrome and mental industries steps up to deliver us an apocalyptic anthem with wowwow bass, that swiss percussion and lead riffs all snaking around, finally building to a satisfying climax over and out

next big strike from the lickin camp!! feel is a catchy house number with a vocal hook you ll keep saved in mind and ear for days...

incl spartaque remix !! contemporary techno bass line meets the whistles from early days of rave culture, cold and clear synthetic lead transforming and pulsating on the solid kick drum

hot on the heels of the bestselling second edition in the limited series, the ppf boys dropped off this outstanding third ep in the sample pleasures trilogy!!! as always, they expertly reference classic, though less well known underground gems from the last days of disco to early forays into proto house. heavily influenced by the fertile early 80s period, when european disco and boogie sounds took us in a more electronic direction, and the kind of boundary pushing, energetic, funked up soundtrack ron hardy laid down in the music box, the popular peoples front have established a formidable reputation for making stand out modern club cuts...

its rare these days that a song can rock the dance floor while maintaining quality and integrity but also leave you inspired by the message in the music. house nation is a prime example of this combination. double impulse delivers a groovy chicago beat with a gritty electroish bassline filtering in and out while layered sweeping synth pads glide on top. house nation strips it down and moves into slightly more techy territory with a bouncing bassline and dubbed out cut up vocal snippets.

db aint confessing anything on this pilot episode of the new db edits series, but his edits still land on the 10 most wanted list! hunt em down, hes clever as a fox. jump out of the plane! not much is know about who did what, but the featured track, don armandos 2nd avenue rhumba band, deputy of love is a chicago mix show classic back in the days of wbmx! here we get a full extended mix, there is some 16th note repeat, delay effect and breakdowns. tops! on the flip, is an unknown disco track. db edits told us to keep diggin to find out what this is. drop us a line if you find the original artist and title. dont sleep on this one! limited quantites

excellent follow up !! when rino cerrone and joseph capriati work together these days, the most upfront minimal techno can be expected. this release is no exception, as these tracks are obviously made to rule the dancefloor! minimalistic, yet with a drive that we know from techno - the style both artists embraced when they got in touch with it...

yet another cheeky edit from san frans golden goose label. this time its imaginations burnin up that gets the new edit, giving it a new dubby exterior, while the flipside finds the units gem, high pressure days, given the same dubby treatment.

cheers lab is a subdivision of the new french label and team cheers records, with a completely different vibe, for those who like it more adventurous and electronica! na sayah is not realy a newcomer, he is those days one of the most hyped dj in paris, being a resident at bataclan (the largest venue now in paris), at electro chic party, the respect party, at the paris paris club, and he also is having his own party called break - a big success already. for the first release (and expect a lot more in the months to come) he has produced four electro tracks, that will work perfectly on any electro dancefloor, all tracks complete with punchy basslines, deep 80s chords and stunning beats! those tracks could easely be included on a john carpenter movie or a tribute to the best of gorgio moroders music.

cool groovin and pumpin new york tech-house to techno

evolution: the process of change in the traits of one population and one generation to the next. this is exactly what the evolutions ep represents. the early days of detroit techno, what it was and what it has become today.

truffle music (toronto) returns with the voices (plant music) releasing their first e.p. isince 2005 and following up on the initial success of their sure thing/street commander eps on nycs plant music. cavern is a disco punk stomper that builds from the start with sizzling 4/4 live drums, bass, keys and a hypnotic subdued vocal that build to an apex only to break down and come back harder on the instrumental tip. spooky is a tripped out instrumental that is slower in tempo and heavy on the pychedelic. featuring all live instrumentation, this track takes you on a twisted journey. l.a.s woolfy (rong, permanent vacation) takes on the remix with his epic woolfy neu rave disco mix and he delivers just that with a speed up stormer that is over twice as long as the original and has a faint scent of old warehouse days but takes it forward with an interesting arrangement and eclectic instrumentation.

recorded live at the montreux jazz festival, switzerland, june 28, 1974.

dominik eulberg, bukaddor&fishbeck, minilogue, jesse somfay, super flu, thomas brinkmann, moonbeam & process sorgen mit exklusiven & hochwertigen tracks für eine ausgelassene jubiläumsfeier bei traum. wir gratulieren ganz herzlich

upper class deephouse sampler with huge tracks & remixes by river ocean, jamiroquai, reel people, dennis ferrer, nuyorican soul, dj chus, kenny latimore... pure dope

strong electro/techhouse burner. includes lÜtzenkirchen remix, that will make everybody stay awake for at least 3 days, and cool phunk investigation mix

the album title track >my manifest< shows, that marco stays true to his love for house chords. old school riffs meet energy loaded beats and his dark self-spoken manifest and reveal a new, more technoid face of marc o tool. >the grail< however shows, that he also still knows how to embed harmonies in a club outfit. driving rhythms reminding of the old o tool days, get alternated by an emotional piano breakdown, to finally find their way back into the floating monotony

playlist of: luciano, ricardo, magda, serafin, loco dice, karotte, anja schneider, matthias tanzmann, paco osuna..... the uprising hero on momentum with his follow up on trapizator, which was his debut on vinyl and sold out within days! now he joins forces with another, really highly acclaimed guy from the rhein-main-area: matts star is the guy to deliver a remix-bomb as expected. this release is going to be played by everyone, so no need to mention names.

alex krueger is ready for his next strike on dirt crew rec. the follow up to his excellent <push the patton< single is an absolute minimal killer, 3 quality tracks here and a different side of tigerskin for each taste. all tracks were produced with analogue equipment only which has become pretty rare these days ! the title track is a warm and reduced builder with an absolutely devestating guitar breakdown, people will remember this one for sure when they first hear it out on a big system. the second >wanted< is a typical tigerskin rave anthem, similar to his master hit >neontrance< this one is pure power on the dancefloor. the last track is more funky and has a great electro groove to it, this one has become a favourite in our sets over the last weeks and also features a beautiful break with great analogue sounds

the chart buster martin solveig was glad when his roman friend and colleague lorenzo rumi called upon him to return to the roots of house music, starting from the early, glorious chicago scenario and its immediate and infectious groove. so far away came to life, as an impulse with only 2 days of hectic studio session and a few liters of coffee. the guys worked on a stricltly old school basis, then added a full vocal and new elements to bring the fine charme of todays house, turning so far away in a contemporary composition rich of surprises and thrilling breaks. the performance of australian soul singer rachel claudio gives a touch of attitude with passionates and unforgettable vocals. definitely another epic stone in the b2f wall!

slamming freakin funky house cuts

female disco rap crew from nyc 1982. the instrumental b is a big one for disco heads. originally released on the universal label. although jeremiah yisraels tap label only issued a handful of 12inches between 1981-83, the tape deck never stopped rolling, producing dozens of lavish songs in discos last days. from the string heavy sugar boogie of jackie stoudemire and arnie love to pioneering raps by missy dee & the melody crew and the fabulous 3 mcs.

not only is franklin sharing his flat with yapacc these days, hes also remixing the likes of peter grummich, colorswitch, ricardo villalobos or pheek, the berlin resident is also releasing constantly persuasively arranged and produced music on crack & speed, sender, trapez, immigrant and on his own imprint the green empire (which is he co-running also with his long-time friend yapacc). >this is probably the best cadenza release which hasnt been released on cadenza<, said a journalist a week ago - and who are we to deny this? these two tracks are beautifully towering tripped-out, post-minimal techno pieces which are not only suitable for late night moments.

superb minimal techno/ techhouse from berlin.. produced by s.hirtenfellner

groove is in the house! you know the score when a set of finely crafted ethique tracks hits the spot. funk fueled minimalism rare in existence and hard to come by when abundance in quality. italian in origin minimono is slapp in it up y all! 2 for the floor, 2 for the lounge or your bachelor pad for that matter, all crafted meticulously to the bone. jazzy, funky electronically tinged >firenze< stylee, you first heard it here.......!

in 2007 tom dazing established himself as one of the most up and coming artists of belgium. at just 21 years of age he can count richie hawtin, josh wink, james zabiela, marco bailey, ambivalent, gabriel ananda, seth troxler, dominik eulberg, skoozbot and many more to his supporters. toms first heimatmelodie-ep was sold out after 3 days so its about time for more insane minimalism! the ep is opened by >sweet lady luck smiles<, a deep and dark sub-bass-mover featuring one of the filthiest synths you ever heard. quite contrary is >pun intended<, a quirky and uplifting party-mover destined to cause major damage on your primetime-dancefloor. the b-side offers 2 deeper tracks, the original of >visually hungry< is a hypnotic and slowly building groove-track, while arnaud le texier delivers a truly mental and dark technointerpretation. toms trademark outstanding sound quality shines through on all the tracks and finally turns this package into a musthave. all tracks written and produced by tom van der kelen

this release withholds two remixes of a very well known dutch >gabber< tune. on the a side theres a high tempo smashing version, on the flip side the tempo is decreased, however the power is still there to say the least... check this out and go back to the good old days!
