after a little break, christian hoffmann - lately more involved as a part of the ambitious abonné project (opossum) is back for good with a butt moving techno house smasher, programmed together with toni vokado. some of you may still know toni from his infamous audioworker ep and few more phat and headstrong releases on monika kruses electric avenue label few years ago. rico henschel a.k.a. sweet n candy delivers a incredible epic 10 minutes interpretation of the people with the obvious intention to make the peebs go mad. enjoy!

finest electronic beats mixed with deep male vocals in englisch + german language, telling a story of a silent and relaxing day in the pure nature. the lyrics are made very clear and simple and people will be able to feel this track for sure. in the middle of the track after the break, the track is having his peak time and it gives us the creeps. on board is a incredible kaiser souzai & nudisco remix which does fit better for the harder djs who play techhouse. playlist already: david penn, bad boy bill, victor simonelli, gabi newman, sandy rivera, disco boys, grant nelson

after his debut releases on resopal, young finish producer rasmus hedlund follows up with another brilliant ep on the motherlabel. its the fiftyeight installment of the resopal 12inch releases so far and we quote him as one the most interesting and promising new techno producer of the year. back to bassics offers four deep electronic techno tracks, a finish version of new school minimalism that, all by all reaches the dancefloors of today. rolling kickers with massive synth lines. rasmus hedlund is definitely going to pave the way for resopal 12inch direction this fall

hey friends, this is going to be a great ride today! slick, red, rocking and housy. today in the box with catz n dogz aka 3 channels, grzegorz demiianczuk and wojciech tranaczuk. and up to now, everybody was deeply impressed by their speedy, red, cool vehicle: from claude van stroke, john tejada or wighnomy brothers. or us! they are really hot and can already choose their favourite international racetrack. but here and now comes a very special floor shaker: outstanding when it comes to style, appearance and acceleration. and extremely funky even at lower speed torque. both pilots promise loads of details, tension and elegance - together with their will to win after a long and exciting home stretch. this is motor sport from another star and should be honoured like it. and it will be honoured, no doubt! sway the banner! award ceremony! champagne, and thats it

with the electronic justice 12inch, james t. cotton and d_marc cantu saw off another thick slab of classic chicago acid. opener >1mg< is a relentless teutonic grind, tightly constructed yet engraved with enough subversive tweaks to hint at the most experimental urges of james t. cotton_s other persona, tadd mullinix. >werkin house< and >static vision< follow close behind with the brooding squelch of a 303. and if these take us deep inside the darkest warehouse, then the title track reveals the inner depths of the artists themselves. >electronic justice< may well be 2am/fm_s manifesto, a rolling vocal creeper whose laser-beam pulses ebb and flow around a synthesized mantra: >experimental vision/ this is us, who we are/ this is our religion.< fitting words to chant, shout, or whisper in the flicker of a strobe at 2am, after all..

excellent detroit tracks from 1997

after his pretty succesful debut on drehmoment with his acidic >hallucination<, milenko puts it onto another level now with his new ep for the label. groovy, scratchy techno and a flip with harmonics that went mad, this is the menu for today. jonas kopp is the guy for an outstanding remix, just in the way like his works for spectral or 20:20 vision. contemporary techno for those who are not afraid of giving the dancefloor a bit more energy as most jocks would ever imagine to do

a standout track for us is >fantasy<, which was never released on 12inch but despite this has been a djs favourite for over 30 years. the lush layering of instruments and percussion create a track that sounds as fresh today as it would have in 1975. after citing this as one of their favorite records of all time, faze action took this track and have given us some excellent edits which add extra dancefloor elements while keeping the integrity of the original

medias have stated recently that the number of millionaires is still rising every year... funny or scandalous? while others are sitting greedily on their fortune, one of them, kind of musically obsessed to say the least, keep to share his assets with the lucky few that will hold a part of his twelve inches serie in their hand. still getting another round of applause for the third offering that impressed quality djs from all circles (from milez benjiman to marc mac, passing by prins thomas to chateau flight), the selfmade millionaire is gaining more supporters release after release. this time, he is tributing the greatest boxer of all time and his legendary shuffle techniques in a funky boogie way with nearly 8 minutes of irresistible feelgood grooviness. many things have been said about this highly influential character, but few know that his boxing moves would have originated some freestylin’ breakdance figures. one more reason why the milionaire wanted to encourage you to do the ali...wait to flip the record to get another punch! even gave you diamonds is a restless groove that could transform an egyptian mummy into a marathon party goer with its numerous hooks, clavinet stabs and powerful catchy vocals. the tune seems to be about a guy whos really tired of his posh lady who cannot get enough of all her fancy gimmicks. would our milionaire gone autobiographical on this one? who knows...

would you have remembered? with the debut album of the 32-year-old warszawian, téchnè, cocoon recordings has released the first artist album ever on the label six years ago, at that from an artist who was not well-known to a large extent back then. this has changed fundamentally: with his releases on his own label recognition as well as on trapez or klang elektronik, sienkiewicz belongs to those ambassadors of modern individual electronic dance music who set benchmarks. this is also his demand with the two tracks on “my little place”, meanwhile his fourth release for cocoon recordings. while the over-heated my little place re-interprets the credo of dub with polyrhythmic elements, delays and echo in an somehow unfamiliar way, “com-bat” carries on sienkiewicz tradition of putting hypnotic sound evocations close to the ten-minute mark. with intensive melancholy, the percussive bass rotor of com-bat creates a bewitched hymn for sunrises somewhere in between the urban desperation of detroit, the atmosphere of after hours and balearic bliss
