support comes from steve bug, shinedoe, karotte, james flavour, gruber & nuernberg, paulo olarte !! highgrade goes east! with homm & popoviciu the berlin-gang grows in the eastern direction - to be specific: romania. their musical..output..of both wasn..t hard to spot, because markus homm and mihai popoviciu made a name for themselves for quite a while. no wonder that their output spreads across several..high-class..labels like dj hell..s international deejay gigolos, pascal feos.. non zero records, as well as the british immigrant and the spanish sub conce label. after their first strike - highgrade digital number 009, this is their first vinyl ep on highgrade. without any doubts they take the chance to demonstrate their most.. appreciated.. skills: on the the titletrack >urban ballroom< they send a massive..house-groove..to a trip, alongside with a swinging bassline, decent melodylines and some springy percussions, combining perfectly funkyness and deepness. >contact< and >wipp< on the flipside are convincing in the same versed way. the former slightly more dubby, the latter comes up with a little more speed. all in all forming an ep cast from the same mould, while the title >urban ballroom< says it all. homm & popoviciu are delivering a new housy shade for the labelsound, which suites highgrade perfectly

new atmospheric stuff from mr. weinberg

the vinyl opens with athina a track that has the special ,made by axel karakasis, mark all over itself. athina busts a powerful uptempo groove and a really nice melody making the track perfect for those summer outdoor festivals!! the track has already gained massive support by carl cox. the second track is, how do i know, by sun40. the track builds up towards an energetic vibe, including some great rhythmic percussions, a driving melody and a bassline that just scream for you to get out on the dancefloor. on the other side you will fine vaporise a track by vortechtral a vivid uptempo track, with twitchy hi hats, energetic drums and filtered vocals. last but not least is flashback a track by dj mary that catch the attention with its energetic beats and a simple but cool bass melody. all sounds collide, creating a magical explosion of colours, sounds, intensity, extacy and emotions. a very very impressive record. an absolute must have for this summer!

raw is the excellent seminal percussive driven techno label from underground hero guy mcaffer a.k.a. the geezer. the label has scored a massive hit with raw 009 which defined the sound of the new breed of energised london techno.

balkon number 009 is the first part of the long waited compilation called: we are not detroit. we are destroyed. it includes tracks by balkon artist and friends like the first track which is a cooperation between matt star and berovic&leicher. 3 fold mode is a clear tool which shows the more techno side of balkon, the same for newcomer ben hoffmann who is putting out his first release with >dunkelrotes flimmern<. the b side of the ep starts with a track by davor o., also young and really talented producer. last but not least the labelboss popnebo takes out some chords to honor his street a track called florida blanca. lets say the compilation tries to give a review of techno and house music which is focused definetly on moving the parts in your body below your belt
