big with gregor tresher nick warren, milton jackson, anthony pappa, michel de hey, oliver klein, monoroom, luciano esse, patrick lindsey,.. with the first circle music compilation the world of circle the label presented itself as a community of artists, as a family, that proclaimed continuous movement, pure power and brilliant soundscapes in various styles which have these three attributes in common. with the new circle compilation the mechanic side of nature, now released as compilation ep series, the dualism of nature and life is represented in the mechanic character of electronic music art. by that it is possible to give the issue of circle music the face of its music: reflecting life consequently with electronic music and digital sound poems in all its facets. on the second part robert babicz, noise artistry, onionz and ralph sliwinski are presenting their tracks.

mighty robot kicks off 2009 with the first vinyl release from french electro artists katelectro and jauzas the shining. the original version of >plug< is music custom-made for a dark room and a strobe, the spoken vocal adding to the sense of vague unease. newcomer ottomatique takes his >plug< rework in a different direction, retaining the vocal, adding some eighties synths and underpinning it all with a throbbing industrial meets disco bassline. the legendary ultradyne push the discomfort and discord up a notch in their remix, staying fairly true to the original, but drenching it with their unique sinister atmospherics. things take a reflective turn for closing track >art of noise< as ghosts crackle in the circuits and bring the collection to a close.

after several months of underground pressure the orbital classic kinetic by golden girls (paul & phil hartnoll along with mike hazell) is finally getting a full release. one of the most ecstatic rave stabs ever is at the heart of this record and has now been reworked for 09 dancefloors by floorplay music - the label run by hot brighton production duo prok & fitch. the story began a year ago with prok & fitchs golden shower remix. instead of going down the bootleg or cover route they paid their dues and licensed the original track for their new label floorplay and set about getting some hot names to remix it. top of the pile is atfc who takes the original and gives it a tough house makeover. this man has been responsible for a few classic records of his own over the years so this combination is unstoppable. with the original orbital mix included this is an all time classic tastefully revisited.

with his first release ever >space ok ep<, stephen hellm enters k-records with a serious statement.the lead track - space ok - combines classic synth parts with a rythmic drive, and bass in your face kick. creating an ambiant fit for the highlights of the evening. workflow is a peaktime stomper with an uplifting synth and stimulating percussion that will set many dancefloors on fire. without a doubt a must-play for all those hands-in-the-air-moments.where workflow left you on a laser-filled dance floor, brk-durch takes you deep below the surface of the earth. its a 10 minute trip with a dark and growling melody that gets inside your head, never letting you go. there should be a warning attached to this song, saying: >caution, only to be used in obscure clubs at times when getting freaky and decadent.<mastered by robert babicz aka rob acid !this release comes in a white black marbled vinyl, limited to 500 copies worldwide!.

touted as the hottest new kid on the block, ridney is the man they all want to work with. a firm favourite of pete tong, and former essential tune with james talk, this year will catapault him to the big league. mixes from conan liquid & stockholm syndrome, this gets him and realgroove nicely out of the blocks for 2009. the smart money is with ridney, watch this space

a track is a track, is a track is a track. but not every track is just a track. trackletons stands for much more than just tracks. on his debut ep you wont get to hear the substandard generic ordinary music that can be found everywhere. he has it all. disco, house, minimal, techno, you name it, he brings it. welcoming our latest act >trackleton< with his first appearance in form of his >jump ep< adds a variety of deep styles to this 3-tracker like we have not heard it a long while. the a side is a detroit influenced dance-floor sweeper with melodies so deep and beats so sharp that will leave no escape from making heads turning and get your feet dancing. b1 plays it cool all around the bass-line, laying things down in a old-school sounding manner - minimal to the bone, but done so cleverly to ensure that the basics simply sit right and will get you moving. the b-2 track then surprises you with more than just a hint of disco that will be standing out from the norm and creates a nice diversity. one does not often hear music so warm, on point, deep and yet fully dance-floor oriented

nice price deal !!! running as part of their united colours of benefit series (fans of quality sweatshirts will recognise the pun) you re treated to bungles reworking of a stone cold social security classic, green cross code, which encompasses all the best elements of the original and turns them on their collective head to whip up a drum & bass storm.

second vinyl version of the cd album with more magical works of unit moebius. including the funking >beat that perculator< re-arranging >i beat that bitch with a bat<, >its time for the perculator< and >the pressure cooker< into a totally dirty twisted the hague jack track! the flip side contains the more deeper side from their first releases. for those who were there in those years 91/ 92/ 93, at the famous parties in the hague and rotterdam, this is a walk down memory lane, for those to young or living in other parts of the world... imagine these tracks in a dark, very dark sweaty basement with only strobe light and smoke machines, camouflage nets, and jacking acid and techno sounds for more then 10 ours. djs such as i-f, serge, schmerzlabor, peter ptau ptau and live acts such as unit moebius played the hottest and freshest music all night long until you lost your sense of time and place and ended in a total mind trip. the pure essence of house and techno! the golden years.

after a recent remix for andrea parker and work with the palette all-stars, justin maxwell returns after a 2 year solo absence bringing us two monster tracks that make up for lost time.

part 1 of the new double-release from tiefschwarz aims at the heart of house music: soul. “on&on” is a first-class arranged club track. starting off with a wonderful mellow theme, that is adumbrated by the bass line in an one-and-a-half minute long exposition. the track ups the tempo with an additional hi-hat resolving into a shuffle beat. in double time, we move on towards the first break. here an edgy, minor key-chord sequence is introduced, making it obvious for everyone, that this track is gonna take off. eventually the keys function as a counterpoint to the classic bass line. a four-to-the-floor “on&on” vocal sample takes over after the break, adding another percussive aspect. as the track goes on a mulitiplicity of side elements sets in - no room for tediousness! in the end the “on&on” vocals resolve into “it’s so simple… . who knows, but this could be a broad hint to all the tech-house academics out there. no matter what, this grande finale raises a smile from every last sweaty soul on the dancefloor. with “best inn” on the b-side tiefschwarz create a dance classic, dressed in 2009 fashion. reminiscent of long gone nu-groove times, a traditional house beat - including a tiny off-beat tinker bell - blasts out of the speakers. a slured synth-organ provides the track with that certain edgyness. here, the brothers keep it laid-back yet exciting at the same time. this piece goes on and on and on - and you yourself run alongside, not wanting to pause. but watch out! at the latest in the second break, tiefschwarz put nostalgia to the test via some shockingly muffled metal drums. one of these moments, where you wish yourself back into the middle of an eight-hour deep-house set in 1992. the train departs. one thrillingly beautiful landscape after another runs by, until the warm sun strokes of the south suddenly rouse you out of slumber. arrived

tom dazing is an upcoming artist from brussels who has released on mb selektions, heimatmelodie, coincidence, veryverywrongindeed and toysforboys already and with his new ep >black magic< releases his debut on trapez. tom has a powerful production technique and a cool old school appeal which he fuses with modern sound design. his new release features >divulge< and >cable strap< two peak time techno trax with a heavy 303 bassline that will rock all big floors. >divulge< the a-side is destined to be a berghain hit. the track is a monster. its attitude is down to earth... keeps it simple but effective. >cable strap< on the flipside is a new modern version of music that we believe used to be the post chicago sound manifested by robert armani and friends. >cable strap< is a super cool heavy rocker with a siren sound that will turn clubs upside down, joined by delicate use of 303 basslines. >temper< the digital bonus track has more of an atmospheric deep feeling to it! tom has been voted in belgium in the top 10 chart of the best national producers in 2007 and 2008 and was voted into the to chart top 10 national live acts

oblios smooth sound and spacious pads fit perfect in to the so called balearic vibe. if you are not in a rush and have a moment to listen, you will enjoy the typical oblio melodies and chord progressions. like all oblio songs there is lots of synth and arpeggios and no samples.

its about time that i put you all up on some more electro...yeh, i know, ive been pretty biased with all the hip hop & sneaker posts! the blogs going to have a bit of a facelift soon, including some of the content, so stay tuned! anyhow, this gem comes from french duo donovan. to sum up their style, theyve got a chromeo-esque kind of sound to them, crunchy electro with an 80s feel. theyve also banged out some sick remixes for the likes of sebasiten tellier & in the club (their remix of turn you on is straight fire). breakin sounds great dave spoon (radio 1 - worldwide) yet another quality release from work it baby. this label really has developed its own sound release by release and its always a great quality especially in these days of all the same.matteo esse (cosmonote srl / various worldwide) charlie fanclub remix is real nice dj neoteric (many / dubsided records / national + international touring) i fucking love the charlie fanclub mix, totally up my street. i will be hammering it.

limited nice price action !
- deus ex machina is a snarling, tension-filled track. pacey beats, drawn out builds and rolling snares all combine to provide the perfect footing for the rolling bassline to do its damage. this is a track to set alight the harder, darker sets. que loucura de som (that crazy sound) has a rolling, heads-down vibe with plenty of techno punch. classic sounding warm stabs provide the main hook to carry things along to a trademark mojo twisted breakdown with distorted sirens spinning things out

already supported by the bloody bleetroots, will bailey, drop the lime, congorock ... hell yeah starts a new re-issue/remix series called confuzed90s. after the huge critical success of confuzed disco (a retrospective of cult label italian records), label a&r marco peedoo gallerani keep on fumbling into obscure & cheesy italian label catalogues in order to deliver the best re-issues and remixes.: expect weird spaghetti house, nu-disco re-interpretations, nu rave modified anthems and all in between. first chapter is all about sicilian heroes blatta & inesha who tweak and knob 90s techno icon ramirez music as they never have done before: killer freshness with humour. if you remember ramirez, the music, the mad shows you know that all his big tracks and gimmicks are here and those new remixes are set to become a steady 12inch of your record bag for the next months to come. very early support comes from the bloody beetroots, lee mortimer, will bailey ...

time to look busy again, as function aka dave sumner comes rampaging through the streets of downtown berlin, kicking aside lesser producers and mauling all who stand in his way. not that you would know it from the supremely controlled affair that is his edit of >variance<. moody in the extreme, this edit sees beautiful interplay between delays and reverbs but without the track sinking into the predictable mire of dub techno. space is indeed the place..

amsterdam hits up the scene with a new imprint once more. after some years of friendship and some projects in the studio together, kabale und liebe and lauhaus team up again. this time to launch a new label. soweso records. with soweso records kabale und lauhaus want to put out new school house music. first up is the young and talented makam from the hague, holland. with his vintage sound he builts the perfect bridge between old- and newschool house music. the a side, the hague soul, is a real chicago house stomper with a character of its own. heavy beats, nagging synth sounds and a raw voice, all on a mission to prove that the hague is the soulful city. the b1, exception, is like a young thomas bangalter meets moodymann. here makam is freaking with his filterknobs, leaving the crowd waiting until he is ready to burst. bomb! on the b2 kabale und lauhaus pair up for a deeper remix that gives a more chemical end flowy vibe to the original of the hague soul. early support by karotte, nick curly, matthias kaden, johnny d and matthew dear

djs classic mastercut is a brand new label focused on releasing original material from timeless artists. our releases will be only for djs / limited edition / color vinyl and no promos. for this 3rd release, we bring you the best of the best & obviously the rarest 12 inches around! a side comes up with the great >scrappy - freeze< originally released in 1988 and for the first time the legendary limelight extended mix available (more than 8 mn of pure acid madness), this is the mix that was heavily played by the original chicago masters back in those days & if you need a record to bang a party, this is the right one. a cornerstone for todays timeless djs, even rvng intl aka tim sweeney compiled it in 2005.on b1, we have the infamous >pleasure zone - fantasy<, all about drums, acid & insane vocals from 1988. b2, >hercules - lost in the groove< done in 1987 by the wonderfull marshall jefferson, all about drums, claps and some timeless vocals circa chicago in the late 80s. this is almost a gospel track!

after several months of hard video- and filmwork, and several awards, french-vietnamese cutie tk.kim aka. pop-3 will finally release some new tracks, on vinyl and online, and by the way, she promised to release more stuff in 2009! so, the new release, chicks and cuts, with 8 tracks online and a 4-track vinyl 12, is definitely dancy, clubby and loud. definitely in the tradition of pop-3s former releases, that never perfectly fitted a precise music category and prove that tk.kim still refuses to be house, tec or minimal. shes all of them or none of them. and what does chicks and cuts sound like, then? boomy squeaking analog sequences combined with delicious samples of her sweet voice will delight the dancefloor, lo-fi audio splinters coming out of old analog drummachines play something like very reduced melodies, and well shaped bassdrums and deep synths will delight your tummies. the very minimal lyrics are in french, as usual. and, goodie: sonja moonear and akiko kiyama contribute with amazing remixes to this fine girls-only oeuvre, rhythmical and minimal but still very harmonious the one by akiko, deep and mysterious the one by sonja. and by the way, the cover is really sweet, people say.

the fuckin track in 4 versions - for all you french-electro lovers! plug in your e-guitar and kick it!

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.

united by a simple question as what is electro?, the two young english producers of joe and will ask? have spent the last two years creating dirty, cutting edge productions and taking over the london club scene. with an eye firmly on the dance floor, but also with effortless musicality not normally associated with techno, theyve won over fans from the band / indie scene, as well as diehard clubbers. they inject tonality and musical flow into everything they touch, all under the banner of techno or electro or whatever you would like to call it, and have been compared to justice, soulwax, dim and popof. after several eps, acclaimed by the likes of brodinski kris menace, vicarious bliss, casper c and autokratz to name a few, here comes their first release on kitsuné. claymore, delivers a tensed and breathtaking swoop with obsessive rhythms, while take me away with its strong rock energy and vocal hook, will set all the dancefloors on fire

first vinyl pressing of twin infinitives since the original vinyl issue in 1990. after moving to san francisco, royal trux released the highly experimental double album twin infinitives. this album remains an extreme work on the periphery of rock music, worthy of being compared to lou reeds metal machine music and suicides debut album. at only four subdivided tracks, none of which clock in under 15 minutes, the record has plenty of time to weave a mesmerizing web that is sometimes menacing, sometimes startling. for all of its high brow allusions, twin infinitives nearly reeks of vice, a dark, sordid feel pervades the record, and the listener can almost picture the band recording in a filthy apartment in the middle of the night in various states of intoxication and debauchery.

bonus round is back, the glitterati fashionista ep by ben pest unloads 4 original genre bending tracks that contain elements of techno and p funk, all ready to cause ruin to the discotheque! jumpadelic is a heavy chicago influenced, gangster funk workout. the tune has been causing a stir as part of bens live set with a vocal hook that gets everyone jacking! theres a party inside my mouth is a hard and crunchy electro funk track with some wobbly synths that will warp minds. lukes anger checks in with a futuristic re work of now panic adding some spookiness to the twisted original. tiny beginnings rounds off the ep with a slower tempo and more funk laden grooves, lots of cheeky sounds keep the mind hooked while the ass follows...

finally the new single of michele menini produced together with carra. the track tiled change is a well done tune suitable for all the electro clubs dancefloors.

deep house music all night long ! new project from season s camp by doruk ozlen & ebony diaz

an all time favourite from the vast stay up forever catalogue gets a well deserved revival. aaron liberator and the geezer finest hour together produced the bastard acid techno offspring santa pod at the end of 1999. with high velocity 303s and racing car samples what more could you ask for?
