julian jeweil after his huge hit >air conditionne< come back with a 4 tracks ep. 3 huge tracks made for burning each dance floor and a great danton eeprom remix. musst have for afu and electric rescue fans..

the right side up ep is the first solo record release from frankie j since his departure from the famed sound republic duo that spatula city records knows so well. what you can expect is all the flavorings of the style you know so well but will leave your breath with long lasting freshness. on the a side we have shuck n jive, which is a super bouncy throwback to the classic ghetto house sound that keep asses in the air and feet working. the flip side burns with a tasty new school jacker called phat soul kicks.

big with nick curly, jimpster, pablo bolivar, alexi delano, demon days, davide squillace, agnès, audiofly,. andi numan, another newcomer of new zealand origin, presents his ingenious take on house, fusing traditional acid and contemporary styles with ease. we are excited. this one goes out to everybody feeling tired with deep house, abandoned or stuck with techno, but still looking for the one beat, that rules them all. andi numan studied various instruments like piano from a young age of three years. in the early ninties he got sucked into the young electronic music scene, fell in love with analogue gear and started dj-ing at open air events and abandoned warehouses.

the pump ep is a typically genre-bending mixture of pumping, groovy house tracks, exploring the many sides of this highly regardedproducers fruitful repertoire. lead track the pump is a vivacious number that takes a clean, modern house aesthetic as a base and later infuses it with a dirtier, earlier morning vibe, with phoniques playful use of the resplendent chord stabs. its a slow burner indeed, and yet another example of his effortless arrangement talents. fancying a spot of fresh air and a trip into the audio countryside, bike ride is an even more playful journey into the kooky electronic world of phoniques studio outings. solid drums and warm sub bass provide the energy for all manner of pops and tweaks to unfold. its another deeper track but be warned it still has the power to lift a crowd up onto its tip-toes. going down more of a techno route, tooltime completes the package and breaks out the big guns for some serious heads down dancefloor ignition. urgent and tight late night action, not for the faint of heart, the tracks title is too modest - it should really read � peak time

4 track sampler taken from the cd of the same name man of the moment laidback luke with some tasty bombs!

another serious result from our warehouse rummaging! si begg is a man of many musical personalities, his list of aliases is impressive to say the least (bigfoot, buckfunk3000, lenny logan, s.i. futures, zygmunt janowski...). but one of his oldest, and certainly one of his strangest, is cabbage boy. in fact i confess i am old enough to remember his releases in the early 90s on cassette tape under the umbrella of the >cabbage head collective< (which also included such techno notables as cristian vogel & tim wright) - and pretty mental they were too. the lost tapes vol. 1 doesnt disappoint on that front, containing such gems as a remix of 80s pop mysteries frank chickens>we are ninja<, and an electronic cover version of >king kong< by frank zappa (ask your parents...). totally out there, but totally cool at the same time...highly recommended to anyone looking for something with some real personality amidst the hard-drives full of faceless (and usually nameless) digital fluff

>central mouth< besticht durch seine besondere mischung von rave und perkussiven passagen, von reduktion und >hands up in the air< gefühl. ein track der in ihrem live set einer der ganz großen hits ist. bei >retroreflector< auf der rückseite rückt das perkussive ganz stark in den vordergrund und erzeugt nach klassischem aufbau einen unglaublich guten fluss. ein stück das alles von alleine macht, das einfach läuft und läuft

der name ist programm! motor lässt es eis hageln, und den gehörgang bluten! raue synthies lassen den etwas melodischer angehauchten b- seiten track >ironik< von alex millan und lorent air zum dancefloorkiller mutieren! auf gehts leute�!

played by c-rock, d julz, gregor tresher, 2000 and one, minilogue and many more� like no other german producer, hannover-born martin buttrich has been decisively influencing the sound aesthetics of electronic dance music since the middle of the nineties. having been more in the background for most of the time while working for and with timo maas and loco dice among others, his benchmark releases for carl craigs label planet e or poker flat have also spotlighted his original name in the public. buttrichs second ep for cocoon couldnt prove better his prediction that in 2008, minimal techno will be containing more warm and melodic components. strangely familiar but always surprising, again and i lost my wallet provide us with bassprone reduction somewhere in between techno and house, and harmony bits that remind of caribbean calypso sounds provide the feeling of the approaching summer which makes both tracks perfect for the final of the open air season 2008. at least, buttrich will be an integral part of the season closing between ibiza main river and spree.
