support by richie hawtin, m.a.n.d.y., andreas henneberg, kombinat100 and many more. featuring deep atmospheres and altogether slightly more electronic rhythms, the second part of the catchpenny & cosmos series rounds this double release off by an even greater variety of sound. just like its name implies, the dark tower hotel is a wondrous and mysterious place. upon intricate double bass chords and trippy synthesizer riffs, female singing from times long gone mixes elegantly into the hypnotic arrangement like a melodic leitmotif. in his remix, mollono.bass lives up to the last four letters of his name and delivers a rolling groove. the jaeger gains experience with acid, at least during the second part of this title which distinguishes itself by a minimal character and enigmatic wind instrument sounds. last but not least there is morgiana , a laid-back song that does not aim the dance floor. its catchy gypsy vibe, created by lots of classical instruments, reflects the remarkable compositional talent of be svendsen in a very entertaining way.

iberian records feature on their seventh release an ep from migrant (aka 23hz) who comes with three slabs of soundsystem funk and groovy vibes. >limbic sistim< kicks off proceedings with a building arrangement into a catchy vocal lick – all underpinned with tight beats and warm subs. >acid sumatra< works on a similar tip but ups the tribal and percussive pressure on a deeper insistent rub. whilst >pipe club< brings some classic two-steppy flavours into the mix but cleverly reinforced with massive sub weight. these three tunes are taken from migrants forthcoming album, also entitled >exit plan<. more bass n groove from the lisbon and barcelona based label that should find favour with the deeper end of both dubstep and uk funky scenes.’ early support by scratcha dva, ghosts on tape, kid606, chrissy muderbot, cardopusher, slackk, mesak, phaeleh, deville, bunzer0, throwing snow.

hot on the heels of the brilliant in trust we space ep, redshape delivers two more top quality techno tracks on his own label present. son of a... brings back the freestyle craziness of the masked one, which we know of tracks like dog day. going wobbly acid bassline in the redshape-way! kracken s game is more of a synthy slow builder - setting a densed atmosphere. great timeless release and as all present releases only available in limited quantities!

kapitel 2, and once everything is new! the collaboration of talented young producers and skilled heroes of the scene provides a colorful picture of the current sound development of the label in 2011. between tempo throttled, acid infected dancefloorkillers of l kubic and old school groove monsters of tokra thaan in a remix of james flavour up to grinding minimal beats with hypnotic-flashing sounds of trockensaft, to chameleon tracks from swen weber, which welcomes you with a dancehall impregnated beat in a 4/4 beat corset, which is ironed in the course of its construction and stay suddenly like a stomping and snorting steam train in the ear canal. and if then hardy hard mates early nineties rave influences with house vocals and flat-fuzz comes with a ghostly- kicking sampletrack around the corner which is just as hip hop as electro, it is clear, that these pieces are absolute killers of their guild, from the first to the last track, and each of them is conspicuous by its own distinctive aesthetic. originality is all

2nd part with typical frank müller techno... b2 with acid flavours...

deeper meaning return with a very special second release, a real gem of an ep from kitano. based in melbourne australia, this vinyl represents kitanos debut, and on the strength of the music displayed here, we are sure hes destined for great things. the >drifting< ep offers up three beautifully crafted slices of languid, deep house music. rich, warm and atmospheric throughout, kitano deftly blends subtle acid basslines with smooth pads and hypnotic percussion to create some utterly unique electronica. if you like your house slowed down and subtle, this is the ep for you

if you were to cut neville watson he would bleed acid house, he would also quite likely knock you flat on your arse for having the temerity to wave a knife at him, but thats a whole other story. for his first wu contribution he ventures down the ethereal proto-house boulevard. jacking 707 patterns, a bouncing juno bassline and outer-space synth lines take you into the upper atmosphere for a glorious airborne joyride. as ever, neville manages to evoke those 85-89 feelings without ever sounding merely retro or like some kind of pastiche, something that many attempt but very few manage to pull off. over on side u apiento, the force behind the magisterially brilliant testpressing website, chips in with a heartfelt homage to the new beat sound. another testimony to the fact that a lower tempo doesnt have to mean diminished energy levels, the orange place simply oozes class from top to bottom. like some lost ancienne belgique classic it pounds and pumps along, building up the tension all the while until the quasi- eastern refrain lets loose half way thru and all of a sudden a mystic portal opens up in the space-time continuum that leads all the way to southwark street in late 87.

chicago legend with slamming 3 tracks on vinyl

the more perceptive among you will no doubt twig the musical direction of an ep entitled >the deepness< by 2deepsoul before the needle even hits the groove. if you hoped it was going to be brimming with ocean deep grooves and burning chords - deep house in the truest sense - then youd be right. malcolm moores altered moods recordings brings us the debut release from 2deepsoul, aka rai scott and brad peterson, who set their stall out with a title track dripping with moody synths and hypnotic drums n hats. >escaping insanity< meanwhile is underpinned by a delicious acid line - perhaps the most outright floor-friendly track on this here 12inch. the metronomic pulse of >harmony< is augmented by a majestic one note synth loop that gently soars above - a rasping hat soon joins the fray along with the gentlest of string flourishes. >continuance (theory of lazy clap)< is equally bewitching, with a title and arrangement that wouldnt sound out of place in the dj sprinkles catalogue<

john dimas further adds to his rapidly growing reputation as he joins transatlantic label smoke city music (the sister label to hudd traxx) with the -addicted 2u ep-. three original tracks cover elements of classic detroit techno, chicago house and filtered french house, expertly combined with a modern approach. a deep, driving, techy and tribal-tinged remix of -relax- is provided by the hotly in-demand adam shelton (one records, 2020 vision). thessaloniki native john dimas is a well-known performer in greece and has steadily been building a reputation for himself on the world-s dance music scene in recent years. his music, which spans techno, acid and house, taking in influences from paris to detroit, has appeared on labels at the cutting edge of electronic music such as gigolo and time has changed. he has applied his remix touch to artists including fischerspooner, mirco violi and andi numan, and first appeared on smoke city in 2010 as a remixer of kev o-brien-s -floozies in jacuzzis-. future releases will see him appear on the claap, dieb audio, res lab and le borgne imprints
