stroboscopic artefacts 1st vinyl release is an incendiary 2 track ep. label founder lucy gives us a visionary blueprint for the future stroboscopic artefacts releases, etching out the soundtrack for an apocalyptic club scenario. out of the a-sides dark, pulsing beats and itchy baselines, a granular voice rises up. krishnamurtis rasping vocal cuts through, creating a colossal techno track. the result is a hybrid of the physical need to dance fusing with the cerebral. amid resonant piano samples and utopian 60s strings, a crystalline question emerges: why dont you change? in the middle of a hazy, overcrowded dance floor this peak-time guerrilla track hints at a moment of epiphany. on the b-side dub man walking, lucys dub-roots background collides with his techno identity. the heavy drum machine structure is injected with obsessive dubby baselines and intersected by high frequency distortion. the track floats, the elements never fully solidify, instead they surge forward becoming ever more urgent. lucy mixed and arranged dub man walking live using his faithful mackie ms 1202 to keep the texture warm in an old skool way

the pump ep is a typically genre-bending mixture of pumping, groovy house tracks, exploring the many sides of this highly regardedproducers fruitful repertoire. lead track the pump is a vivacious number that takes a clean, modern house aesthetic as a base and later infuses it with a dirtier, earlier morning vibe, with phoniques playful use of the resplendent chord stabs. its a slow burner indeed, and yet another example of his effortless arrangement talents. fancying a spot of fresh air and a trip into the audio countryside, bike ride is an even more playful journey into the kooky electronic world of phoniques studio outings. solid drums and warm sub bass provide the energy for all manner of pops and tweaks to unfold. its another deeper track but be warned it still has the power to lift a crowd up onto its tip-toes. going down more of a techno route, tooltime completes the package and breaks out the big guns for some serious heads down dancefloor ignition. urgent and tight late night action, not for the faint of heart, the tracks title is too modest - it should really read ‚ peak time

the label boss returns to his own yore imprint with another stunning solo release. these are different times indeed for andy vaz if the eps three mighty jams are indicative of where his musics heading. the a-sides over here (a glance over prime time mix) roars from the very first moment vaz unleashes its steaming, latin-tinged groove. a far cry from the techno the yore label head once issued, the tune finds vaz exploring straight up dancefloor territory with a dizzying house pulse that straight up rocks. melodies and voices rise to the surface of the dionysian broil and then just as quickly recede, leaving room for a driving bass line to gain the spotlight. the flips hurry hurry (before its too late mix) is classic deep house just as one expects on yore. a jazz-inflected strut with tilman ehrhorns sax playing, wailing over waves of rollicking piano playing and spirited vocal chants. the energy level doesnt flag for the discs final track, bygone times (nostalgia mix), which stokes a fiery house swing with its locomotive pulse, futuristic synth patterning, and high-velocity bass lines. vazs music has never sounded more impassioned and energized than it does in these three tracks and consequently, just as one might predict, different times feels like its over far too soon

hot off the heels of onur Özers most excellent mind melt album kasmir, released october of 2007, comes the reinterpretations on vakants vr division. wonderfully thought out, vr handles remixes exclusively leaving vakant itself pure to its artists. this constellation leaves everyone free to the corruption of their fancy, allowing the artists to choose their own remixers. with onur, finding willing interpreters is not a difficult task and the heavy of the heavies representing the light and dark sides of the force are here on vr04. on the a side loco dice, aka tunisian born yassine ben achour, takes onurs instrument laden >eclipse< and puts it through the treatment. what comes out the other end is popping state-of-the-art tech house with onurs depth and loco dices spontaneous flow. on the flip things get serious. jens zimmermann , the deep, deep, freak out master hailing from frankfurt, contributes his own spin on >sahara<

lo key fu makes his dead famous debut with a belter of a twelve inch. funky/tech is the order of the day here with both sides featuring chopped up female vocals and live instruments alongside squelching synths!

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

the e.p showcases some new sides to james sound and has won widespread support and praise. the title track call & response is a shuffly groover which is impeccably produced and arranged. it will be sure to get the floor grooving and has picked up nothing but positive responses from all who have heard it so far. the second track the trinity is james personal favourite of the moment. it goes tough – very tough – and as the slammin groove builds to the point of explosion, it defuses and rebuilds with controlled power. this is an absolute dancefloor bomb...

creating a dubstep sound soaked in electro with psychedelic twist, sick rebel?s music is pulsating, yet emotive. this release showcases both sides of his music, from the melodic bass transmission of >regrets< to the pounding dancefloor anthem of >haze<

the spring time is aproaching and jesus loved you production is blossoming like never before. day by day, the familiy of valentino kanzyanis proteges is getting larger and larger as he keeps on recruiting more and more of the worlds most promising young djs and producers. topping the list of those who have been choosen to bear his sign, here comes chris barratt to show our crowd what he is made of. magicalminimalpopmusic is his second release for the jesus loved you and we can assure you that it is everything its title promises it to be - fun, minimal and emotional. the release expresses two sides of chris barrat. the gentle, almost fragile angel bells is a very kept back piece and is - as chris himself would have put it - all about emotions. whistlechimes is a more dynamic track with a perfectly fitted long bridge in the middle, making one feel chris barrats his huge dj potential.

marcel fengler provides 2 new tracks for this ostgut ton release. having just moved to berlin, the producer displays two different sides of his abilities. theres one primetime tech banger and one more experimental cut with a growing dubstep influence.

three new tracks by mix mup on mikrodisko. three musical statements, instead of drawing from a wide range of samples from old vinyl, as he did on his last release >dj of higher quality<, mix mup this time mostly relies on his own voice and an all-in-one sequencer. you can hear his love for raw chicago-acid-house b-sides, his affinity for italodisco and sonic experimentation. this is not about a clean sound and a clear arrangement, the tracks were produced in a moment for the moment. all tracks were produced in a single session, without quantising, without a screen, without a mouse. always with some scepticism and his tongue in his cheek

ricardo villalobos said >this record is a real bomb, i play both sides to an ecstatic reaction! every dj needs it in the bag<

after the genre-smashing, seven vinyl pressings deep (and counting) success of viktor casanova, there is no way that the italoboyz could possibly top their first appearance on mothership, right? wrong! we are happy to report that they have created an organic techno masterpiece in >bahia<, enlisting the help of one of the greatest jazz musicians of our time - john coltrane. youve never heard the master like this - the italoboyz have molded the original >bahia< into a stomping peak timer as only they can. their trademark monster kick underpins stuttering jazz kits, a playful piano line, and an insistent, soulful tenor sax sample from the man himself (cleared after four months of intense negotiations). bahias intro leads into one of the most surprising and euphoric breaks you will ever hear. there are two versions to choose from - the party swing mix gets right to the point, grabbing you by the scruff of your neck. the flip sides mucho lungo mix is perfect for those late night warehouse moments, taking its time to deliver the sweet payoff

thumping house gear from ferrer and sydenham on this 10inch release on ibadan. behind a booming bassline and a little french kiss synth influence as well, double penetration is perfect for that late night floor action, with a little progressive feel in the sweeping synth lines setting it off just right. both mixes glide effortlessly along - in fact if you get 2 copies and play both sides one after the other, the results would be outstanding!

earlier this year, todd sines inaugurated yore with the slamming techno-funk of the .xtrak release back_up ep and now returns for round two with dont stop. without losing the stripped-down, minimal tech-house funk essence of the .xtrak sound, sines ups the acid-house ante considerably in the new material. the old-school title cut makes an immediately vivid impression by repeating the insistent vocal hook >dont stop<-both command and mantra-over a towering backbeat. >cut to the chase< does exactly that with funky handclaps and syncopated swing, while the b-sides low-riding >unreflect< pairs dropouts and bass-crawling boogie. slightly different in character, the squiggly acid-techno track >quantum mechanics< is as precision-tooled as its title suggests. despite the subtle shift in stylistic emphasis, dont stop offers a splendid complement to the earlier release

a limited 300 copies release on dub recordings. superb 90s detroit / uk techno with some electronic trickery. square bells track is nothing less then genius... b-sides show the more techno-ish side of bernardi (octogen)... very good record!!.
