well ok, no rule without exception... this beautiful joint from johannes albert is a little web 2.0 fairy-tail: the white rookie & cratedigga no. 1 moomin found a youtube clip of a dj hammering a super-deep, rough piano track in a club in the german city of paderborn. he didnt know the track, so he sent the dj a mail asking and a few mails later, the tracks from johannes were blowing away mr. offermanns ears. so the labelhead decided to make this the next white. of course first of all johannes & oskar had to meet a few times to make sure they understand each others vision well and after a few meetings they eventually became friends. so the labels movement towards the direction of house is continued by this release. wooden pearls is pure housemusic to the core. very wooden & grounded in the lower spectrum and crystal clear up in the sky. these very honest and timeless tracks tell us a story. the story of johannes alberts passion for house. since he was 15 years old, he is a fan. from the german franconia he follows house throu his local recordstore >swing king<

how is it that every time we come across a band from paris it makes us want to be right there, in their beautiful, hipster culture? its probably the same factor that made us want to live in brooklyn when we discovered sleigh bells, or los angeles when we first came across heartsrevolution, or berlin when, or manchester when, or, or, etc. ok, to be fair, our home town of brighton is plenty cool enough thanks, but this three piece from the gallic capital are definitely made from that most attractive of purest hip. we are suckers for the sexy vocalist, complete with every word seemingly breathed out, rather than sung. its all so effortless and...

belfast bad boys, jet project, are running their city at the moment. their recent slew of tracks on labels such as viva, darkroom dubs, as well as our very own get digital with the scorching hot >zuma<, have been getting them attention with djs great and small. chugging right along in very tastefully form, the lads lend their services once again to get digital. however, this time it is an e.p. all for themselves and deservedly so with hauntingly epic >understand this<. understand this is a clinic of how to mold proper song structure into dance music form. all the key elements are there: a discernible intro, strong vocals with meaning, and a proper breakdown that utilizes a whole new group of sounds. writing tunes like these takes knowledge, effort, and passion. the dub version strips the male vocal hook away, but leaves the snippets and effects from it in there. allowing the track to ride on its full bass line and warped synth patterns..

blind minded lives in london and is famous for his live appearances and has his third release with trapez ltd with >mr propre<. his first two release on trapez ltd was supported heavily and where charted by the italoboyz so weare looking forward to his follow up. >mr. propre< is the return of what used to be of the detroit sound blended with modern spontaneous changes in mood and crossovers which will put a smile on your face. >mr. propre< is the most technoid of all three tracks, whereas >jazz 2 me< is a bassline monster, with vocalquotes about jazz music stating it as >a state of life<, >something that you live!<. altogether a sexy cool groover! >the melting freak< is the most deep of all three tracks. here you can hear blind minded playing his analogue instruments (also a real 808 drum machine) being funky and cool rather than going for cheap thrills.

tha playah proudly presents another smashing release on hollands #1 hardcore label, neophyte records! this time he teamed up with some of the best producers out there to bring you 4 new hardcore bombs! another must have masterpiece!

major mainstyle alert! the beat controller is a young, but already well- experienced dutch dj and party organizer (confusion events). besides his dj skills, he already made himself a name with the track >handz on my ballz< in cooperation with angerfist. the track was released on the last angerfist album >mutilate<.
now its time for his first solo ep. both original tracks are rather hard & kickin, but yet still melodic and absolutely dancefloor-orientated. distorted revelation, known for their successful releases on knor, deliver a stunning remix in their unique own style which will also do well on the floor. all in all, a very strong (maybe the strongest) release on important hardcore yet.

following up the dancefloor smasher that was i thought inside out, deadmau5 and chris lake join forces once again to bring you i said. the original mix is all about the killer, heads down groove, dirty tom led drums provide a perfect base for the jittery percussion, deep bass and bleeping synths, which all push into breakdown of epic proportions

dandy jack & the metronome allstars with >39 steps<:
dandy jack is maybe better known for his incredible energetic live appearances, shaking crowds all around and turning audiences into a non-stop atmospherical body wave. together with other artists (like for the memorable narod niki 1st public concert at mutek 2003) or alone, in small clubs or bigger events, the german-latin effect has nothing to proove, just power to give.

a new name appears in the hispanic techno scene: architectural, label and author, all in one. but who is the mind that draws the plans with this new pseudonym. we still ignore it, but this one, who has wanted to give free rein to the creativity that beat under his skin, has sculpted the first tracks that you will be able to listen, from a solid matter base composed by pure sonic techno with minimalist touches from chicago, with detroit streaks and forged alloy derived from the most genuine soul.

the three new songs from young prodigies martinez brothers featured here, >broke in the bx<, >wont somebody<, and the title-track, all come complete with the brothers trademarks�classic drum sounds, slow-burning intensity, and soulful melodies in their synth work.

this record isnt risky at all but a shure shot, if you are into early nineties italian disco-house!

we would like to welcome deep a and biri to upon you records. these two up and coming young producers from israel have sent us three jackin house tracks, which we know you will enjoy. wed had an eye on them for a while after hearing their tracks that they released for kammer, trapez and rotary cocktail, all the better that they now have another platform for their darker house style. on a1 we have barzilay a track that is dedicated to the club in tel aviv where deep a is a resident and salutes the vibrant energy of the city. b1 is wilder and more psychedelic. deepa & biri made a gem called emergenze that subtly pushes itself forward then rolls over everything in its path. hoya on b2 keeps the mystical suspense level up where it should be, and adds a bouncier tom-groove to round things off perfectly. shalom!

aa: mute ? suspense ? the flip for this fine 12inch features the brothers mute, with a massive debut vinyl release! >suspense< has got skanker written all over it, reminiscent of the days grooverider was dropping adam fs seminal track >metropolis< on dub. modern production values are infused with the sweaty funk of 90?s dancefloor tech. heavily influenced by the sounds of photek and, more recently, break with technical drum programming and a bassline to trouble any bass bin as they looking backwards to move forward. you wont miss it when this tune drops.. bassface time! featuring on baileys 1xtra show several times last year this is not a tune to miss out on. both tracks have been receiving heavy support from bailey, lomax, survival & break.
