the make up the break up is the first release on bruno pronsatos own thesongsays label. its the longest track in his catalog (38 minutes), and an even deeper excursion into his stylized harmony. this track was originally a track uncompleted while making, æwhy cant we be like us. revisiting it roughly a year ago, bruno began to reword it. what began as simple attempt to create an ep track out of it became a monster. what monster you ask? in a few words, the monster that is brunos love of musicality and sound design. muscially speaking, we are on a ride somewhere between a slithery house track and a drugged out night out in chelsea, new york in the 60s - and thats a good thing because we get the entirety of the ride: the ups, the downs, the clouded mentality, the broken heart and perhaps the mended one. its happy, its sad - its something that you can dance to, but most importantly, its music that we think you can revisit for many years, as it somehow reflects us, our lives. a playful and extended journey through love and disaster, or at least the soundtrack to it.

disconet was created as subscription program service, which professionally selected and mixed disco music for discotheque djs, mobile discos and radio stations. disconet is called as the granddaddy of all remix services and provided mixed/segued dj dance sets, not only to make the djs job a little bit easier, but to expose club goers to new music. the djs spinning at the height of the disco era were given access to a new creative tool - a different interpretation of current dance tunes to wow club goers. originally, the disconet records were to be issued on a monthly basis which were limited to 1000 - 1500 copies of each volume. the first disconet record was released in october 1977. disconet team at that time was: tom savarese, bobby dj guttadaro and kevin guilmet as well as mike wilkinson. tom, bobby and kevin were dj legends, who had already been awarded with the dj of the year title by billboard. these greatest hits volumes contain their finest work, the original licensed disco edits of all the floor fillers of the time that have been re issued for your listening pleasure. expect many more volumes in the near future.

another big release for tim xavier on ltd400! tim keeps up the momentum with his next installation, featuring two floor-burning conceptual tunes. on the a side, no day like thursday is a colorful and mixable track with tims signature dark percussion, complete with a layer of manipulated, warped synthesizer pitches on top. the result resembles something like an out-of-thisworld harp, and the combination of these ideas result in a timeless, psychedelic minimal sound that makes this release unique and irresistible. the flip side is yellow corvette a nice, moody mixer with eerie vocals, chuggy percussion, and a big room bass-line

steven espee patton is a young talented dj and producer from glasgow. his electro music is deeply influenced by the deep sea resonance of drexciya as well as other dark and enigmatic artists, such as aphex twin, lory d, dj stingray 313, underground resistance, and artists from his beloved glasgow such as rustie, voltaic, chordata. glasgow itself he calls a huge inspiration to his productions. merging all these influences, espee creates his own individual musical world - a combination of enchanting melodies, intricate bass lines and fat beats. espee is a refreshing up and coming artist and with his own unique style he helps to keep electro alive.

the original pressing of >get off< with serato control vinyl on the bside sold out before we even got them all back from the pressing plant. unfortunately we weren t able to press any more with serato, but we ve been getting requests all along and now that we ve got this jamming new remix from jack beats, we felt the time was right. if you don t know jack beats, they are plus one (of scratch perverts) and beni g. these guys are heavy on the uk scene and have recently done remix work for lady sov, white williams, ac slater, does it offend you yeah?, caspa, black ghosts and much more. they turn in an epic remix that switches from rough mid tempo drums and baltimore hey grunts, to one of the craziest electro wobble things we ve ever heard. seriously. crowds have been eating this thing up and with support from djs like craze, a-trak, kissy sellout, drop the lime and boyz noize this is bound to be a big tune for summer. of course you also get the original line up with the diplo produced >get off<, the awesome bonus beats, and the rob3 remix.

altair nouveau consists of one brandon mitchell, a young producer from the west coast currently residing in san francisco. altair nouveaus music, though designed with the dance floor in mind, still evokes a personal element. it is the combination of these elements that give altair nouveau his indistinguishable larger than life, spaced-out future disco sound sure to cause a dance floor frenzy. raised in the sprawling city of san jose, california to musical parents. mitchell grew up with the encouragement of his father, an electronic music teacher at the local community college. brandon began educating himself by collecting albums from the likes of giorgio moroder, vangelis, ennio morricone and john carpenter. this gave way to newer acts such as in flagranti, prins thomas, lindstrom and several artists on dfa. the title track æspace fortress marks a bold and exciting introduction into the sonic landscape of mr. nouveau, combining g funk, p funk and a 4/4 disco foundation that adds up to something otherworldly altogether. released as a joint effort with the uber-hip dfa records this 12 features mixes exclusive to this release from ultra-talented irishman john daly who turns out a deeper take while michel morins criminally underrated nom-de-plume sneak-thief takes it deeper into spacey disco-funk territory.

after a winter break and a with new focus on original and forward thinking house, boe is back for 2009 with one of the hottest detroit artists to break onto the scene in years. kris wadsworth is a man who truly has his own unique production style. for years the term minimal has been banded about for music with little soul, originality and that essence of dance music, a groove. kris is a guy whose interpretation of minimalistic music oozes all of these qualities and much, much more, stripped down, funked up house that takes the listener back to when house was raw, full of energy and brimming with soul. his production resembles that of an early herbert, crunching and twisting his way though drum samples and polished chords to create a sound that is simple and intoxicating yet difficult to copy. less, it seems, is most definitely more. dig is kris first four-track ep and showcases his sound through four slices of deep, groovy late night house. the first track the depths of is kris sound summed up in just under nine minutes. the first three minutes belong to a long intro that builds and builds through vox snippets, stab samples, synth chords and h-hats that ride the groove. the track breaks down only to kick back in with a chunky snare and trippy pads to whip the listener into a frenzy. macrotones is a wonky late night rhythm synth track that wouldnt sound out of place at fabric at 7am. on the flip, white bread kicks off where the depths of left off, a catchy rhythm with swinging stabs and moody chords. a growling, gut-moving baseline makes the track a real dance floor favourite. the final track on the ep is haunted house a deep houser with a delayed bassline perfect for those late-night moments.

next frank leicher release...no more words to be needed !!! played by matt star, nihad tule, angel molina, nedzad berovic, locke aka dermaptera

the journey of a chillian sound influenced by a particular romanian flavor. this sounds wild! therefore, the material to follow will be focused on interesting work. pier bucci together with monochrome including the romanian artists livio & roby allying this time their third beloved partner george g, together they come out in a beautiful ep called, santiago de bucharest. what kind of connections can be found in these two culture background in the context of their own music expression? since last years south america represented a big influence in electronic music, with the latin vibes and soul! extremely obvious is that rumanian artists identify naturaly with latin influences as their common origins helped them easily to experience this into one and solid sound. despite of the latin common element which connect the artists, their soul and spirit it is expressed unique but different in their own particular way.

hot on the heels of the celebrated >mangled again< cd compilation, another duo of killer edits from mr mang an absolute gem of a boogie jamflipped with another of those top secret disco adjustments he does so well. ray mang better known to his buddies as raj gupta is the behind the scenes guy who has had a hand in some of the uks finest discoid moments ever released ! a plethora of releases on labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic etc etc have cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right and engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys, glimmers & many more. the newly revitalized mangled label has given us an excuse to unleash these classic re-edited and totally remastered cuts into the community. ray has delivered yet again !! as always, only one limited pressing will be available - you know the deal

the second body function relase, this time a stunning solo ep by the label-head himself. known for his productions and remixes for codec & flexor, he is dropping these hot tracks on his own imprint. the release is concerning between driving energy, reduced functionality and consciously chosen pathos. in codecs point of view the essential elements to invoke crawlies on the dancefloor >> repress!!

rick wade - first darkness the third release on our new born vinyl only sublabel that twists us arround these days like nothing else in this world. after the tremendous sucess of of ricks debut on laid 01 intelligence which had been a great kick off for our new imprint we couldt help but wonder: where we all in fact just dating the same person over and over again? but anyways here is just another wonderful record of one of our all time favourite producers mr. rick wade. as you can sense from the title rick wade once more employs some of his darker signature synths lines in the main track that provide a glorious sparkle of sublime athmosphere

fist of facts began life in a basement studio on ludlow street, downtown manhattan, in the mid-80s. the bastard child of liquid liquids salvatore prinicipato & ken man caldeira (part of the liquid liquid extended family and original liquid idiot member) the band lasted nearly a decade during which they created a uniquely downtown new york sound. these tracks sat in storage on cassette tape for 25 years are a part of music history. none of them have ever been heard by the public and it will be released as a hand numbered, 4 colour sleeve limited to 500 12 inches.

tensnake has been hamburgs best-kept secret. has been! past 12inchs for labels like radius, mirau (which he co-runs) or his gorgeous >keep believin< three-tracker for endless flight speak louder than words. on top he delivered all these nice remixes for the likes of junior boys ( fm÷ is theee one), sally shapiro or more recently toby tobias on rekids. firmly rooted in new yorks sweaty boogie dreams and with a soft spot for dazzling house music, >in the end< stays true to tensnakes juicy techniques and pleases our friends and colleagues (radio slave, robet dietz, prins thomas, gilbr, mark e) alike. we start off with a courageous house tune that has all the qualities of an a-side and concisely defines the dilemma of lovers: in the end someone always has to cry. but as long as it sounds like a cutty ranks rocket launcher, we want test it. the other side of the medal features >holding back my love< a slow-motion disco robot bomb with a crooning tensnake on the mic that makes everyone feel happy like they should. finally, >thethenunknown< somehow melts the moodiness of early factory records (think a certain ratio with a little finger exercise) with the atmosphere of kenneth dixon jr.s >misled< - one for the heart, soul and your headphones. at least, gerd feels and thinks like that. speaking of feelings. if downloads are your thing, you can get the digital bonus track >can you feel it< at all the usual spots. how is that for a change? this guy aint a blindschleiche

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.

the sunshine coast?s resident electronic maverick, milanese is back on with his heavy-as-fuck 2nd album on the mighty planet mu, and a snapshot of the continued evolution of his unique, fresh angle on streetwise uk bass music.
having pioneered the heavy, dark and twisted experimental dubstep sound with his previous releases on warp, combat, mg77, arcola, seed and planet mu, this new lp sees a shift towards collaboration. with strong vocal artists like ben sharpa (pioneer unit, cape town) and rqm (al haca, vienna), who deliver interesting lyrics in a unique style, melded perfectly with milanese?s own fat swerving basslines, solid drums full of attitude and odd, mangled samples.
melting dubstep?s earth shaking frequencies with hip hop & grime vocals and hard edged timbaland influenced drums and percussion, the result defies categorization: neither dubstep, grime, hip hop nor idm - you could call it a mashup of all these, but it?s more accurate to say it sounds like streetwise bass music for the year 3000. incredibly strange beats and sounds but keeping the funk, fury and bounce 100% on lockdown.
challenging, menacing and forward thinking like his previous releases 1up on warp (2004) and extend on planet mu (2006), its also 31 year old steve milanese?s most dancefloor record yet.

miss dica is barbara tampiÚr, an austrian producer and dj, now resident in berlin. this is her first ep as miss dica, although she previously released an ep as synth model (with vito caliente). all tracks are co-written and co-produced by the berlin dj/producer, ronald christoph. on her myspace page, miss dica describes her music as electro/techno/thrash , which neatly describes what this ep is. the tracks are well crafted and musically adventurous, and it s these elements that caught the ears of third ear. the tracks have a feel and atmosphere that evokes raving dance floors. these tracks are for people who like to let go and party, and have their neurons sonically tweaked. this record does both.

phoniques unique vision of house music is continued with the next exciting release on his ladies & gentlemen imprint. serving as a teaser and a taster for the forthcoming >time for house< album, this ep holds three new and exclusive cuts. the album will feature these three lovely numbers, plus more hot new material from phonique, tigerskin, rubini and more. as the name suggests, >time for house< is an open-armed welcome into the blissful, warm and groovy, timeless house sound of l & g! dessous and poker flat key artist vincenzo has his say on the a side, with a long extended cut that gently builds lashings of tension and early morning drama with its deep stabbing push and open, floating breaks. as if we were soaring on the airy breeze of a warm summers evening, or raising our hands at an essential openair in berlin, >return of sha< captures that super elated feeling perfectly. vincenzo refines his sound once again, and marks a beautiful moment for the dancefloor, but also for more relaxed situations. fellow berliner tigerskin aka dub taylor aka alex kr³ger continues the summery, frozen-moment vibes with >too hot<. simple and classic synth hooks combine and layer to describe a chilled house jam that oozes positivity and good times. well known for his many aliases and wide variety of production styles, this track will not disappoint the deephouse heads out there, but will also please fans of his impeccable sound design and tasteful melodic abilities. belgiums kolombo aka olvier gregoire sends off the b side in style with his captivating classic deep dancefloor house exploration named >next dream<. wonderful, organic house sentiments meet characteristic percussion in this wonderfully sequenced conclusion to the ep. gregoire is by no means a newcomer, with countless releases and remixes under his belt, and the warmer-weather vibes of >next dream< works wonders as always!

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

recording as lord cut-glass, alun woodward, formerly of the delgados, releases his first album since the delgados? ?universal audio? in 2004. extraordinarily ambitious, ?lord cut glass? was written, arranged and in large part performed by woodward, recalling the orchestral grandeur of his former band whilst forging a style of acerbic, sardonic songwriting all of his own. lord cut glass features galloping percussion, waltzes, marches and promenades of male and female harmony: delicate and serene creations punctuated by casual profanity and shot through with brazenly hilarious words-to-the-wise.

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).

minimal grooves with a nice latin flavour and cool spanish spoken words!!

killer new moby single!!! on pale horses my friend amelia is singing, shes holding a $20 microphone, no headphones, just singing it with me holding the lyrics in front of her pointing to the words. she didnt know the song before she sang it, so her performance has a vulnerable and almost na ve quality. after, i put her vocals on an old 1/8ö tape machine and re-recorded them back into the song. i wanted them to sound as if they were recorded 50 years ago... including remixes from gui boratto, apparat, and empyrean...

te amo is a forgotten gem originally released on the volumex label back in 1993 and then licensed to the legendary vc records in the u.k. with mixes from john digweed. this was a huge anthem back in the early 90s full of balearic passion and happiness which is often missing in todayÆs music. but lets not get carried away in the memories of the past and check out these brand new mixes. in fact, the record makes a fine return to todays scene thanks to brilliant interpretations from two of our favourite djs/producers out there: hotly tipped paolo mojo and tapesh.to round off one pretty nifty package, the original caliente mix is enclosed also. and this still sounds as relevant today as it did almost two decades ago. a blast from the past indeed! very similar to releases on record labels like cr2, defected and toolroom.

seventh solo album and the follow up to you & me, which received raving reviews, entered the us blues charts at no.1 and was awarded the best blues album of 2006 by classic rock magazine, uk. sloe gin effortlessly ranges through heavy blues and acoustic numbers alike, a textured flow.

d.a.v.e the drummer s mighty hydraulix label licks into the new year with 3 tracks from croatian rising techno stars miche and mirzinho. relatively new on the scene these two brothers have already rocked out tough and funky techno tracks on much loved labels adult, ying yang and pornographic. if you like us you are sick of hearing badly produced techno tracks with over the top effects and nonsensical breakdonws. and you like to go nuts on the dancefloor instead of standing in the corner scratching your chin. then this is for you!

l-vis 1990 is quickly solidifying himself as a bass-prodigy. you re forgiven if you re unfamiliar with the name but pay attention - this 25 year old from brighton has stormed on the scene and is making some of the most singular dance music we ve heard of late - this stuff is truly standout. with the ever-building epic come together and the floating then undeniably face smashing united groove , we re hearing a heavy sound with a new and refreshing take on structure and style. he has upcoming releases on kitsune & dim mak as well, plus a busy club schedule with his night slugs monthly in london, and one offs at the biggest european clubs (fabric london, social club paris, scala berlin, etc). oh and did we mention that with all that he still finds the time to make videos for the likes of dance area and riton!? definitely one to keep your eye on. in the meantime, these two tracks form a serious weapon. amazing new mad decent record that s making big waves worldwide. touches of grime, house, uk funky and your classic mad decent styles. big.

passionate, uncompromising, resolutely underground. a few words to describe the work and career to date of swedens finest real techno exponent, grovskopa. masterminding two high-calibre labels with frequent appearances on other imprints of repute, whilst giving a voice to the techno community through the nursery forum, he is clearly one of the harder working producers around. >make tomorrow< is the next chapter in his tale for the label, following the hotly anticipated and well received prologue of sect 2. >atopic< creates dense and intimate atmospheres, overlaid with a reflective, introspective key structure, culminating in the most poignant & moving of melodic sequences. >skinstrumental< bridges the void between tracks, speaks of the space between stars as our minds turn to thoughts of galaxies and nebulae, the spirit of detroit radiating like a supernova.>the fierce hug< completes the aural triptych, by contrast offering a more upbeat, playful yet no less desirable option for the more creatively diverse techno mix

one of the great aspects of the endlessly varying bass music soundwave is the way it seems able, even compelled, to fuse antecedant styles and genres to itself. in the most innovative hands, influences from last month are absorbed and reworked as smoothly as those from last century, and creativity sparks brightest when the marriage of form and function takes place beyond recognised boundaries? and it?s from that unrestricted zone that uk producer o-dessa emerges. opening with an initial resemblance in sound to the same plaintive blue air of burial, as these tracks resonate deeper in the mind, it becomes clear that this sonic affinity is merely a veil beneath which a new heart beats. the rhythms lurking below the bassline in ?deeper? are like some undiscovered amalgam of old skool hardcore and something you might hear on the latest dirty south mixtape, which somehow manage to defy sense and co-exist in a driving and breathtaking way. mournful mariachi horns and a plunging dub bassline intermingle in a desolate approximation of sergio leone?s western soundtracks, while reedy flutes and distant female voices build a swirling vapour through which skittering woodblocks and metallic ticks raise an anxious sense of motion. anchored by a vast, cone-melting sub-bass undertow, ?deeper? s treasures are buried well below the surface. the juxtapositional subtle-tear-out nature of o-dessa?s production is even more apparent in ?million dollarz?, which reveals itself in stages to be a gradual descent into layers of tweaked amen breaks, but with a grandeur unlike anything previously heard, even though that drum pattern has already been chopped countless ways over the years. it?s not until midway through its five-and-a-half minutes that the famous phased snares rise from the dense banks of atmospherics, but when they do, a moment of blurred euphoria hits and the tune bursts into colourful life. this 12¬ is the first broadcast of many more to come from o-dessa, as - like many have in their own way before and still more strive to do so now - he embarks on his individual journey in the continual reinvention of bass music. instant thrill junkies won?t find their fix in these grooves, but followers of the path less travelled will recognise many signs pointing the way to a rich future.

played by brothers vibe , gerd janson (running back)... introducing two brand new lindstrom tracks: the magnificent and disturbing the perfect symmetry the leftover ep came about when prins thomas, todd terje and smalltown supersound were let into the lindstrom vaults so to speak. lindstrom makes a lot of music obviously (he has one album out this year already with prins thomas and another one with christabelle coming in october), and these were two tracks just laying around that he hadnt thought about releasing. when both prins thomas, todd terje and his label insisted that the tracks had to be released, he decided it was maybe a good idea to make another 12inch since it had actually been a while since the last one. and we are all happy by that. these are some of his finest moments. his signature melodies and sound are all here ready set dancefloors on fire. hope you like them as much as we do. enjoy!
