number 17 in the player series, as usual an unknown artist giving us some full on techno aimed at the dance floor

juan atkins and moritz von oswald Ð the two indispensable protagonists of the electric garden Ð plug back into the wilderness. transport Ð the new full length effort of the borderland collaborative project Ð brings together a new set of studio-refined sequences aimed at colonizing some of the dark energy that pulsates through those areas that are thoroughly electrified, even if not Ôon the gridÕ.
the detroit-berlin axis triangulates to a third point which, like the atomic particle that lives in two places at once, flickers between a form of techno-charged ambience and a futuristic club-jazz which cannot be broken down into constitutive parts. borderland remains caught in a state of enraptured stillness, invisibly moving between every imagined future for electronic sound making. the result: a font from which springs serene and exhilarating musical ideas that vibrate with refined energy for sixty seconds in every minute.

still living in slavery is mr raoul ks third album. it is, however, the first one that will be released on his own label baobab music. he thought for quite some time about to shift the african instruments and african rhythm structures that uses in his production processs into a more dominant, more exposed position. giving them a role of there own and freeing them from being bound to a groove coined by a four-to-the-floor kickdrum. while using dominating drumsounds when producing records aimed for the dancefloor seemed reasonible, they werent needed for the storytelling concept throughout this album and are left to the accompanying remixes.

tresor are pleased to announce kern: a showcase of old meets new, house meets techno, in the form of an exciting mix series aimed at delivering fresh narratives in electronic dance music.

sixteen brief and inconsequential images..glimpses of scenes flickering byÉ heres mickey moonlights debut album! full of discrete and subtle details this lp is definitely aimed for home-listening and not for the club (even if close to everything is receiving massive support from our dj friends..) although mm has assembled a large and stellar cast of musicians the album still remains his singular and unique vision.

-love has no recession-, is the fourth album from husband and wife duo fatin dantzler and aja graydon and the follow up to 2008s arrival. it continues on a similar vein to their previous 3 albums with another album aimed squarely at the adult contemporary

with 17 years industry experience, innumerable remixes, several hit singles and eight albums under his belt, dutch dj/producer ferry corsten knows how to knock up a tune. the bombastic title of his latest album, l.e.f. - loud, electronic, ferocious Ð seems overtly aimed at quieting any doomsday critics that are still flouncing around prophesying the death of dance music. the contents certainly state a passionate case for the genre-s ongoing vitality and ability to reinvent itself, as corsten lets loose a take-no-prisoners tirade of electro, trance, pop and techno. the visceral pulse of -are you ready- opens the onslaught, preparing the listener for retro anthems such as the recordÕs first single -fire- (featuring simon le bon), and -into the dark- (with howard jones), and a storming series of trademark trance cuts - -beautiful-, -posession- and a reworking of old favourite -galaxia-.

musical aesthete, superstar dj, fashion icon and underground idol Ð tiga is ready to refresh your palette with a sublime collection of tunes aimed sometimes at your heart, sometimes at your head and very often at your feet and the raging clubber within you.he dropped louder than the bomb on us, we have danced to his fabulous version of hot in here, mouthed the words to >sunglasses at night<, got up to all sorts of misbehaviour to >you gonna want me< and he delivered a work of beauty with his last album >sexor<.now tiga is giving us a whole new set to enjoy with >ciao!< Ð which includes >shoes< Ð a hymn to his 3 favourite things, shoes, hair and gloves, luxury, a tale of opulent consumerism and a 10 minute modern disco extravaganza entitled >love donÕt dance here anymore< - countered with the club bangers >what you want< and >mind dimension 2< which will send you spinning into orbit. with collaborations from the likes of soulwax, jesper dahlback, gonzales, jori hulkonnen, jake shears and james murphy, itÕs a riot.of the writing process tiga explains, i thought this would primarily entail aging sheet music with teabags, but i quickly learned otherwise. itÕs ultimately a matter of trusting yourself, of having the courage to say, these are the times, and these are the rhymes.
