originally released on the evolution sub label symbiotic. actually this is one of our personal favorites from the complete evolution/link/reload/global communications catalogue. one of the more overlooked masterpieces in the whole i.d.m. scene (i hate that name). but a masterpiece in techno history. mark pritchard took things further where the original innovators from detroit stopped. a perfect combination of beautiful and forward thinking music without forgetting about what brought all of us into this music.. the excitement for rhythms that make you move!

adam beyers drumcode imprint is about to go through something of a rennaissance with some simply sublime material about to hit the streets this autumn/winter. traditionally his labels would always have a very swedish bias - something which has now opened up to include new exciting producers from further afield. one of these producers who adam greatly admires is perc who has delivered this devastating 3 tracker for drumcode. perc has his own label perc trax and his recent remix of dj hell on kickin records was a firm favourite in adams sets for many months….

as hard as it might be to believe, there was a time when the word trance did not mean dutch guys dressed in white wearing oakleys.. it also didn t mean israeli pre-military dragon-stick wielding reefer addicts.. actually, there was a glorious era where trance was a verb rather than a noun.. im talking about when you got in a trance, at lets say for example: the golden eagle in munich in 81, in a white-tiled sauna-motif discotec, grooving to a 17 minute reel-to reel version of knights in white satin on your 2nd bottle of poppers while some guy named >wolfie< takes his modern ballet skills to the >next level<. if that sounds appealing.. and i know it does.. then allow me to introduce you to compuphonic and kolombo.. a throwback to the days of romance-trance of the highest order. deep, sensual (yes, i used the word sensual) electronic grooves so potent that we were forced by a coalition of competitors labels to only release some of them digitally to restrict their awesome power to trip people out. these tracks make other tracks seem like mindless shallow shit. that includes some of turbos other releases.

it was 1883 when the krakatoa vulcano erupted and generated the loudest sound historically reported. about 120 years later, in 2002, the project krakatoa was born, generated by the underground enthusiasms living in the city of turin,aiming to contemporary electronic sound esploration with a special appeal for clubbing. krakatoa was originally established as a cult underground party based at the beach club in turin, where every thursday more than a thousand youngsters use to meet at the feet of the dj booth where the two founding fathers, dj pisti and samuel, regularly perform. they are often supported by special guests such as josh wink

the quake has a completely fresh sound, not strictly breaks, house or electro, but possessing elements of all 3 genres, its about the groove, warm synth work and the phonat style cut up female vox. splank! favourite malente provides the remix action for this single. having released the 2 & only on splank! last year alongside sometime production cohort (lars) moston, this year has also seen malente release his fourth studio album on unique records how can you still stand to stand still, and more recently he has remixed coburn. the remix takes a 4/4 route, as malente keeps many of the original parts, but re arranges them into his original production style, and creates an absolute monster that goes into overdrive after the drop.

a fresh new three album track remix ep containing mixes by charles webster, the long term deep house maniac who serves to be an incredibly good choice, will saul, label owner of simple and aus, and a final remix by the man himself phonique. the charles webster remix of worked it out starts off as a nice thudding beat with a crisp minimal click on the offbeat, until an echoing vocal sample swifts in and around starting off the soft but pushing shoulder shifting bass line. smooth piping reverbed blows outline an almost euphoric melody, a very trippy and atmospheric tune with soft cymbals pattering away in the background. soothing sounds and housey chords mix perfectly to make a chilled out dreamy beach tune with a nice progressing beat. a swerling bridge with a 90s casio chord melody steps in and then fades out to the echoes of the vocals drifting silently away into the sun. on b1 its the will saul remix of bang. dun, dun, dun, dun, whoosh! - then a descending high minor melody calling with an electric bass response. squeeky bird sounds and weird reverbed chords makes you feel like you‘re in a crazy dream falling and falling yet the beat keep you stable and composed just about! an out of tune dungeon computer game. strange but true and also very interesting!! and finally, on b2 its the phonique version of space cruise feat. gui borrato. trekking through a spaceship journey tune with mechanical functional sounds releasing here and there. a repetitive two noted melody comes in and fades out, is replaced by an array of spaced out tones, arrivies back again, meets up and resounds into a fanc

next up on steppasoundz steps c.a.b.l.e. from brazil with the massively disgusting burning a multi layered blend of infinitely rolling breakbeats, filtered percussion & stomach churning bass. this track will pull your pants down & smack you across your arse with a plank of d&b varnished wood then spit in your face while you cry about it, in other words, its a little bit nasty! soul on the flip takes things a bit deeper with driving bass and skipping drum patterns. a soothing alternative to the blistering a side

lovely slice of deep vocal heaven here starting with an afro brazilian flavored guitar intro and gentle beat with a subtle kick that slides into some extra warm synths and the baduesque vocal by zansika that sets the tone, polish all the way. incredible break about two thirds the way through that gets quiet and takes a moment for just the beat, echoing vocal and dizzying synths that should mesmerise the floor. b side dub strips the track down to its essence exposing all its elements to let us see what makes it work so well

big follow up !! the still unknown bowling centre downtown kreuzberg gave the name for this ep - there incognito appearing electronic music lovers of all kind meet occasionally wednesdays for strange tasting kaiserpower beer to strike and spare and celebrate their incomprehensibly bad ball feeling – techno bowling at it’s best. wednesday is bouncy fun minimal with fresh surprises throughout the track - very much what we have come to love about tony rohr tracks. kaiserpower is a trip back to the powerful, trippy, voodoo side of things for mr. rohr, which we haven t seen in a while… drop it like it’s hot

the mojuba sublabel returns with a repress of an almost forgotten classic. we are speaking about the timeless masterpiece >merluche ideale< by rené et gaston, maybe better known as dobre & zki, jark prongo, the good men or chocolate puma. this track has been an unbeatable anthem for many djs as it combines deep melodies and and groove you cant resist. it became very sought after because kevin >master reese< saunderson included it in his fantastic x-mix for studio!k7 named >transmission from deep space radio<. listen to the beauty of it and dance your sorrows away! the b-side >pouah!< from the original release on pssst comes as a floor-dedicated edit by labelowner don williams, sounding like early carl craig is dating Âme, unbelievable that this one stayed undiscovered the last decade!

canadas last step unleashes his debut album called simply last step. these tracks are all created using original analogue equipment like the roland 303, 606, 707 and jupiter etc. they do not know much about last step as he only communicates with me anonymously and via vocoder. all his royalties (if he ever makes a profit) are destined for the st. bernadettas synth hospital.

when jesse rose and future house music berliner oliver $ got together it was obvious that something special was about to happen and we would say thats exactly what went down. head to the a-side for jesses deepest ever remix, subtel yet straight to the point…the release fits the label perfectly, just five minutes of grooves with that twisted edge. already getting plays by the likes of bob the builder, fritz the cat, the furry freak brothers, eddie murphy and the likes. keep it real, keep it dumb, keep it playing... dj support matthias tanzmann, dj t, anja schneider ...

as label boss gilbert says about this new versatile outing: i:cube is a prolix producer : some weeks, the cube used to bring me 4 or 5 outlines tracks, always amazing ! i played them sometimes in my dj sets, or shared them with my producers friends. there was always a nerd to ask me what is it… few years later, i decided to compile these unfinished -or not wanted to be released by the artist- tracks in a new versatile collector serie : >les archives cubistes<. re-edited for some, released without modification for others, they show the evolution of this amazing producer, who explores since a decade different styles but always with his typical sound. for this first volume, two techno tracks. deep end, composed in 1999, could be a >news of the week< as it sounds so current… latecala (under maurizio influence) was composed in 2000, to test a new studio gear (a multi effect)… versatile, some years after, delivers you the result. a few 12inch will follow… in different styles. be aware! limited pressing and special artwork by the excellent designer >machine< !

pikaya take to the a-side with a flourish of robes and flashing beams of light. >jedi< is not the track youre looking for… wait, no—it absolutely is the track youre looking for, all mind tricks aside. kicking off with a sparse drum pattern, it quickly shifts from a measured andante to an easy jog, as resonant synths and sweeping filters whip up desert winds and high drama. high, lonesome counterpoints and a moody chord progression carry the faintest whiff of ennio morricones outlaw music, and playful trills—you could almost swear they were birdcalls—suggest a secret oasis hidden just behind the next hill.if you find >jedi< cinematic, then >fango< will really blow your wide-screen mind. starting with a rhythmic underpinning thats everything youve come to expect from a cadenza track - tight, ultra-kinetic, just a little bit jittery - pikaya build up layer upon layer of hazy pads and cool arpeggios that shimmer like the aurora borealis. bullfrog-throated horns occasionally burst in with a fat, amicable fanfare, announcing the arrival of the peak hour. great, unison handclaps play off against heel-kicking syncopations: madness ensues. and then everything slowly, imperceptibly smears together and loses focus, and the tune fades flickeringly away. talk about a double feature! now playing on a turntable near you

volume 11.5 serves up a series of amazing funkers you simply wont believe. brazilian superstar elton d teams up with ferrari, which results in a full on dancefloor monster. the ep is topped of with newcomers pette vaydex and one of the most promising talents about, dejan milicevic!

exciting news from the re-activated hairy claw label that has been lying dormant for a while. as you know, bears shouldnt be taken for granted when sleeping and this one has awaken to devastating effect. laj & quakerman have been dormant (remember what we said about sleeping bears?!) since 2002 and many fans of their tracks on fiasco and the idjut boys u-star will be very excited to hear of thismonster on hairy claw. two tracks entitled >vinyl frontier< and >lust in space< are sure to get plays from the widest spectrum of djs while keeping their old fanbase intact. live drum rhythms, bleeps, moody synths and latino marracas…i can see this freakin out alot of bunnies! its a space party for future bears on a mission to jack. raj gupta (for it is he) has released under several guises for labels as respected as nuphonic, session, noid, r&s, strutt, mr bongo…the list goes on… we will tell you more nearer release date but for now… grrrr!!!!! roooaaarrgghhh!!

special random one-sided release! will make the hearts of collectors go boooom! a fairytale is looming on the horizon of the unknown. one must not tame a fairytale. fairytale lies in absence. eremits rebel against the power of the kings and for their romantic nature, secrecy should be the rule. they complain about our reasoning of the land - that we bought socrates for logical dissilusion. but where have all the flowers gone? why matemathics instead of metamathics? pursuing what all philosophy has tried, that is, to avoid metaphysics, and because i feel that tonights peasantry without pleasantry is somehow nervous, wanting for something to make sense - you outrageous calculists - i am going to tell you the secret that underlines what you have heard until now. because all i want to do is hug you close, and all that you want to do is to be hugged - consider it as a gift

jerome sydenham and rune rk first met about 5 years ago, when jerome first played club rust in copenhagen. rune was the club resident, and the two immediately connected over the decks. even though their styles were very different, there was a mutual respect and understanding for the music. in november 2006 jerome and rune decided to go to the studio and see if these magnetic poles could be joined - and from nowhere magic happened. a new mutant of sounds and arrangements emerged. not really house, not really techno, but dirty and soulful at the same time. energetic, yet calm, these tracks are something new. they dont sound like rune rk, and they dont sound like jerome sydenham. so what do they sound like? have a listen

gentlemen, to your battle stations please! all hell is about to break loose and things might get messy. x-tension is a dj team consisting of stormtrooper and thomas nordmann. stormtrooper, already well known in the hardcore scene for release like todesvogel or existenz, played at big parties troughout europe like energy, masters of hardcore and judgement day. his style is dark, rough, full of distorsion and hardly with any melodies. thomas nordmann, techno dj from south germany since 1999, is known for his very wideranging sets and productions

played by deep dish, milk & sugar, eric decks… his first own single is about to be released on milk & sugar recordings. saxophobic satisfaction is a catchy sax-track with unmistakable balearic flair that will fit perfectly to the pending summer. flavoured with the sexy vocals of halfindian kyra this strong remix package including mixes by christian hornbostel (soulfuric, us), stereo mutants (defected, uk) and doc phatt (houseworks, ch) seems pretty much promising. >satisfaction< guaranteed!

the second release by the russian project stepsine gives a better idea about musical preferences of these artists. on this record galymjean and vadim combine electro house with nuskool breaks preserving their unique sound characterized by powerful bassline and tough drum parts

clectic producer johnny dangerous returns to king st. with yet another esoteric single, only yourself. his unique spoken word vocal stylings are what set him apart from other dance music producers. haunting as they may seem, they penetrate the psyche while the underlying rhythms rev up the body. italian heavy hitting producers, the pasta boys, are on board to give this an effective synthy remix thats perfectly inline with johnnys lexis. edgy, dark, minimal, techy and punchy, their remix gives energy without being overly aggressive. for those who need something a bit lighter, johnny dangerous original mix puts a bit of the funk and soul back into the song with guitar wa was and slapping percussion. theres something incredibly sexy about what johnny dangerous brings into being. is it his voice? his lyrics? his production? whatever it is, its good, and a pasta boys remix to boot? buon apetito

back in 1998 this was probably just about the wrongest record you had ever heard…and it has to be said that not much has changed. forshaw has a knack of turning out ridiculously hard and mangled electro and techno tracks – but still managing to make them sound >poppy<. sometimes, as in the case of rockford for example, it is because he uses well recognisable (but unexpected) samples. but more often it is just because he manages to make tunes (no matter how hard) that make you stop gurning and start smiling

g t m k is gregor tresher (datapunk /cocoon / great stuff) monika kruse ( terminal m /electric avenue) this melodic, minimal, hypnotic release with a good build up will prove itself on the dance floor is limited to 500 only (physical copies) no hype, no label its just about the musik

a side is the infamous 2003 edit of alan smithee s version of natalie cole s >tell you all about it<. b pairs firefly - love is gonna be on your side & madelein bell - thats what friends are for

most people need drawers to put names on styles, to define music to a short range of elements. those will have a hard time describing this new masterpiece by uk based dino lenny & simon duffy. combining units of minimal, techno, noise structures and a certain rave attitude at the peaktimes they really make ya feel lost in a positive way. who cares about styles when the result is working, and this combination sure does wether youre at a club or even looking for the perfect track to rock the open air season this year. yellow tail scores big time again with this underground peaktime burner! andrea doria twists the original into a more >electroish< direction. distorted leadsynths with strong mellos leave no choice but to raise the hands and celebrate electronic music the way it should be done, wild, obsessive and free from the daily worries. this is huge
