first seconds into already 27th release on recognition, and we immediately know that there is serious business going on here. stunningly complex drum track goes like clockwork, only setting the scene for what is to come. forget the craft of drum programming - we are talking another dimension here. >modern dance< is like being suddenly dropped into suspended animation: having that peculiar feeling that the world around is accelerating to the verge of a seizure - and at the same time this very world feels so slow... unnamable, transparent sheets of sound almost give no room to breathe - but ones breath is taken away by the magnificent landscape it s about to appear. shapes shift under half-closed eyelids, and while the low, peaceful yet sad chant comes in, one can feel it like an omnipresent breath, burning hot and marble cold at the same time. this mysterious and heart-wrenching voice comes courtesy of one yula, and were gonna surealy hear much more from her in the future. and it seems that the beats literally start to boil... rhythms shuffle and swing, and taken the lack of floating melodies abundant in jaceks earlier output this track is even more outstanding from theproducers former work - probably acting as a bridge towards new visions, appearing in the confidence of the new, almost-perfect studio.

re issue of the 1979 p funk classic!!!

after the success of their collaboration with paul thomas on last years festival anthem >arena<, mark knight and funkagenda join forces once again on one of the most eagerly anticipated tracks showcased at this years miami wmc.
>good times< is the feel good anthem of the summer comprising of a modest intro with a warbling bass line driving slowly through collecting sounds, before opening up into an edgy synth stab and finally the insanely catchy vocal hook >these are the good times<! the track drops back in like a speeding locomotive train going full steam ahead, with cleverly placed percussion, fx and siren sounds soaring to create an intense rhythm.
on the flip, >flauta magica< shows the diversity of these two acclaimed producers when they get in the studio together. taking a different route from the lead track and concentrating more on the groove, >flauta magica< chugs along nicely with an almost tribal percussive feel to it. the excellent chanting vox sample, reminiscent of the early house sound, keeps the groove rolling along into the drop. taking the lead from the tracks name, a whistling flute riff drops elevating the musical vibe to a new balearic level.

quince is here with a follow-up to his previous music man outings, and it s a true dancefloor bomb concerning >wires<, think carl craig, massive break, roaring bassline, hands in the air, and you re almost there!!!

for release n° 28, long-time clr artist alex bau returns with two massive new tracks full of good ideas and positive energy. chris liebing had the pleasure to play out the disaster-mix for quite a while and to convince himself of the unexceptionally sensational crowd reaction. the rhythm is permanently varying, the atmosphere often changes immediately and the sounds come and go in surprising ways.
the flashback-mix is wonderfully thrifty and has a powerful bass. alex bau once more shows versatility and dedication to experiment with rhythmic and sonic possibilities. the slow building and the subtle use of beat variations and breaks underline the almost mesmerizing effect of this outstanding groove.
chris liebing considers the clr 28 the best alex bau release on clr so far and is already looking forward to your comments and critics.

almost two years after his highly acclaimed debut, fabian bussmann is back with a release on debox. and the waiting was worthwhile! sometimes i m invisible is a remarkable piece of work and shows a recognizable advancement in fabians production skills. >or else< on the a- side is predestinated to be played on a big sound system: dark, athmospeheric, reverberated with lots of freaky delays and effects and equipped with a powerful bassline the track creates a tension that will surely massively discharge on the dancefloors this summer. the remix on the b- side was created by bastian buesser who recently attracted a lot of attention with his releases on debox and endlich elektro. buessers interpretation of the track is a deeper, more playful approach of the theme. without touching the basic structure of the track he constructs a more relaxed, athomospheric vibe, taking back the tempo and adding a new bassline to the adaption. the title track >sometimes i m invisible< clearly distinguishes from the the a- side and presents a different side of fabians work coming along with a groovy bassline and lots of percussive elements.

stone cold classic funky disco floor filler thats stood the test of time. first time ever on 12inch!!! taken from the hard to find self titled lp by tommy stewart, bump & hustle music is the definitive disco funk party anthem. it was recorded in 1976 in atlanta, georgia, and since then the lp has found itself in the play boxes of soul, funk and jazz djs alike. however, its not until now that this amazing song has finally made it onto the preferred format of dance djs the world over û the 45rpm 12inch single. in 1976 tommy stewart was a busy man, working as an arranger, producer, performer and writer for a host of soul and rnb artists. the lp made for abraxas records was the first to go directly under his name, and although it failed to take off locally, the lp soon became known by djs across the world primarily for the club smash bump & hustle music. as it happens that song in particular almost didnt exist but for tommy needing to come up with something quick in order to fill in a gap in the album. conceived and recorded on the spur of the moment, and with backing vocals by isaac hayes singers hot buttered soul overdubbed later, its a superb example of rhythmic simplicity blended with soulful, catchy harmonies. its just impossible to listen to bump & hustle music without a broad smile coming to your face, and when played loud in a club, its impossible not to dance!

luckyme is very proud to present the first release from the collaborative project between nadsroic and hudson mohawke. this ep contains 6 tracks of explosive future r&b, folk influences and dancefloor heat. with a mixture of club-friendly bangers such as room mist and step back and more reflective personal songs like leopards and chemical alongside all hot- an almost unclassifiable blend of live percussion and ethereal diva vocals. nadsroic is the singing / rapping alias of ciorsdan brown alongside the young phenom producer hudson mohawke. to date the young team have only played a handful of shows as nadsroic including radio one sessions and live alongside optimo - for whom they are also releasing a record on their oscarr imprint. ciorsdan was schooled in the scottish highlands immersed in folk music before being dropped in the ugly glasgow metropol of hip hop, techno, electro & club music. with spells living in copenhagen and currently based in semi-rural japan its hard to say where this 22 year old jetsetter picked up her natural sensibility for real pop and future r&b. when shes not teaching children, go see her in a rare live show either back home in glasgow or japan. based in glasgow, uk, 22 year old hudson mohawke currently has the worlds beat scene in a headlock with his heavy drum programming and cosmic synth slop. a teenage uk, dmc and itf champion, hudson has been honing his craft as a part of internationally renowned production duo heralds of change, seminal scottish hip hop group surface emp and as part of the luckyme collective of dynamic, neo-beatmakers. in january this year he made his debut release on warp records with the polyfolk dance ep and has been clocking up serious international mileage with his impressive dj schedule.

eklo 011, his first single on the label, after his famous >close to me< from the hooksey series, boris horel bring us here his idea of modern house music, a real trip in his mind with his wellknown skills, fat groovy beats, weirdy voices and some chemical hooks that bring his art to a high level of creativity and originality. a1, >how do i look like< is an attempt to mix my love for both old school and new school house music. looking for this kind of >95 tunnel< sound and feeling , but with a modern twist on the form and a more summerish vibe. the pitched vocals helps to push the track towards a weird sliding sensation ,adding a catch to the almost liquid bassline. a2, seuil remix, is something more darky and stripped down, full of analog grooves, sub and crunchy basses, he turns the track in something more deep and afterhour feeling… b, paranoia pantomime , the long side, great old school feeling >a la carter<, rolling shinning hats, fat grumbling basses lead the track...add to this some weird effects and some sexy catchy voices, here is the horels reciepe to bring u back some old feelings from your ravy times. essential debut ep for this new eklo artist. essential 12inch

pauls new tracks are, as usual, first class techno burners. >altes kamuffel< starts of f with a sof t and trancy synth line, almost romantic, is infiltrated by a straight beat and then goes of f like bum. the bass hits your stomach, the clap drills crisply into your sinuses and the high, playful synth warms up your heart. the track for the peak of a club night !! repress

no more words.. plastic rules is on the way again! this time well known someone else delivers a total eclectic package that is being digged by almost everyone! incl a splendit dancefloor mix by re:direct (terminal m)

almost no other club has been the subject of so many song dedications. this time, nicone & sascha braemer deliver a heart-wrenching declaration of love for the bar25. >nur mal kurz< is nothing less than this years hit of the summer. straight rumbles, smooth sound dimensions and high-noon vocals are a serenade to the 25 timeloop

a carl craig production!!! here is the 1st extract taken from night music, etienne jaumet new album to be released end of september. etienne is the keyboard player of zombie zombie. this man is breathing music. you have to catch him live to see how involved he is in his music. almost possesed. when i heard his album a while ago, i asked carl craig to make some production, which he accepted and made a job above our expectations! he pushed the level of psychadelism to the max! entropy is one of them. cosmic dark obssesive - a meeting between ashra temple, can and liaisons dangeureuses. tr 808, vintage synths...lets go for a ride... for the remix, christian vance, an australian producer who released recently a brillant track on rippertons label perspectiv has done a great job, changing the tune into a mental techno ride...we only released one mix, but check the digital platforms for more unreleased versions...

killer new moby single!!! on pale horses my friend amelia is singing, shes holding a $20 microphone, no headphones, just singing it with me holding the lyrics in front of her pointing to the words. she didnt know the song before she sang it, so her performance has a vulnerable and almost na ve quality. after, i put her vocals on an old 1/8ö tape machine and re-recorded them back into the song. i wanted them to sound as if they were recorded 50 years ago... including remixes from gui boratto, apparat, and empyrean...

te amo is a forgotten gem originally released on the volumex label back in 1993 and then licensed to the legendary vc records in the u.k. with mixes from john digweed. this was a huge anthem back in the early 90s full of balearic passion and happiness which is often missing in todayÆs music. but lets not get carried away in the memories of the past and check out these brand new mixes. in fact, the record makes a fine return to todays scene thanks to brilliant interpretations from two of our favourite djs/producers out there: hotly tipped paolo mojo and tapesh.to round off one pretty nifty package, the original caliente mix is enclosed also. and this still sounds as relevant today as it did almost two decades ago. a blast from the past indeed! very similar to releases on record labels like cr2, defected and toolroom.

hot on the heels of phonica records inaugural release comes a new 12inch on the label from jc freaks, with a very special remix from the revenge. jc freaks is the duo of anthea nzekwu and werner niedermeier. like hector, who helmed phonica 001 with ben bryant, anthea is phonica through-and-through, working behind the counter at the london store. an award-winning dj, she produces with werner as jc freaks and has already released two acclaimed 12inchs on mojuba offshoot wandering. dub praise is a sultry, funked-up assault on the dancefloor, incredibly direct and immediate but full of subtle modulations and dub chords. theres a jacking, almost boompty feel to the track, but the blissed-out vocal snippets, rich synth-tones and burbling acid licks give it a timeless, rolling quality beyond that. this is seriously addictive stuff. on the flip theres a remix from the revenge, aka graeme clark. phonica have been huge fans of clarks releases on labels like jiscomusic and instruments of rapture over the years, both solo and as part of 6th borough project. here he reimagines dub praise as a deep disco track which is all spaced-out percussion, breezy keys and low-slung bass but has real character and intensity to it. so it is that the eponymous label run out of londons best electronic music store continues its march on the worlds dancefloors and dj-boxes - with a 12 inch of hypnotic house class that fizzes with ideas and, more than anything, groove

with electric rescue, the french dj d jedi, who is known all over paris, becomes a part of the cocoon family. he is connected with the development of techno in france already since the beginning of the nineties. despite being busy as a producer for commercials and soundtracks, he always finds some time to release exciting electronic music on imprints such as f comm, communique, elp media and paul nazcas label scandium, where he has released his debut album >el.ue< three years ago. with the two tracks on >the darkest star<, electric rescue succeeds in the daring feat of transforming the energy of rave tracks from the early nineties into the present time without producing an anachronistic impression. besides a tectonically shaking bass drum, the title track relies on the power of sound, a superlative of raw club energy with a twist of irony, which can set a surprising climax with a steadily rising noise level, even after almost ten minutes. >the devils dance< is grafting a comparably brute state-of-emergency techno in a somehow restrained way, rhythm-wise, but is no less effective with its distinctive acid sound effects. and who said that modern techno cant use the tradition of belgian rave-signal-floor-burners?

dave dk needs no introduction, since his debut moodmusic album “lights and colours” he s been busy travelling the world preaching his trademark electronic deep house sound and remixing florian kruse, tigerskin and seva k for labels baalsaal, global underground and dirt crew among other things. for the new moodmusic release dave packs 2 tracks from the album in new edits as well some major remix biz from ada (areal, irr) and russ gabriel (mobilee, ferox) remixing cinema paraiso was ada s choice, the epic floating, almost balearic feel to it fitted perfectly the fine hand of ada and her perfect production values. starting with a rough 303 bassline, building an intense but deep affair buidling into a hypnotic frenzy of old school acid and modern electronics ! from the feedback from the few selected djs who got their hands on this gem, ada s remix is allready in groove mag top-10 ! the b-side coimbra, a rocking house belter with neat sample editing and the dave dk bassline juggling between the low end and the ultra low sub. russ keeps much of the original intact, deepening the groove with his funk injected beats and some lush detroit influenced chord action like we know and love from him. as a bonus we include the original mix for those vinyl lovers out there !

daniel bovie & roy rox: already up to no. 15 in the ultra top single charts. follow up for 1 of the biggest club hits in the beginning of 2009. almost played by everyone.

a killer clubby groove from steve marshall û the kind that reminds us of the best indie singles from the late 70s disco years! steve plays alto sax here over a strutting, high stepping rhythm thats got plenty of warm touches û really glowing with a sense of soul thats great, and touched by some female chorus vocals that are very much in a philly mode! the disco mix is great û even more upbeat and extended than the 45 groove. in the country is a great bit of club jazz û smooth and sweet, but still with a snakey flute line in the middle û almost like some lost bobbi humphrey track from her epic years. do what you will is another chorus vocal number û and you are the world features some laidback mellow flute.

amused records proudly presents the stereodudes debut single tonteria, a groovy house track with kinda crazy spanish vocals and a huge remix package! the stereodudes already showed their feeling for floor-fillers and powerful productions on their remixes of the 2008 nature one-anthem and recently for sonic vs. taste ts eightyeight, which entered the top10 and 20 of the german club- and dance charts (dcc, ddc)! now the boys do their first strike and bring really big features from almost every kind of house music from minimal to progressive with the remixers: monomotion & yoann feynman (pinkstar records/sirup records), kevin over (fortek/piemont records), taste t. vs. steffen baumann (amused records/session deluxe/lucent) played by: robert m (loco ltd, pacha), gorge (8bit, systematic), falko richtberg (big fm, tronic love), greg silver (sunshine live house edition)

zombielicious is one of the best dance albums of the decade. when i first heard it i badly wanted to license it for turbo and we almost did. zombie was even into the idea, but the timing was bad, so we decided to put together a turbo-riffic remix pack instead. bad idea compared to getting every incredible moment of that album... but luckily the result is amazing.

remixes by shinichi osawa, k.i.m., light year, flight facilities featuring louis austen
bag raiders return from their middle american bowling alley dj tour to release the turbo love remixes on banggang 12s. ditching the b-side (to be re-released as its own a side real soonà.watch this space) this package turbos up, straps on some nitrodepth chargers and shoots the tune off into the noisy dancefloor hit-o-sphere. shinichi osawa. wow. his remix can only be described as power- dance. he takes the original, whacks even more turboness on it and re-sings the vocal himself to make an abrasive almost-but not-quite- trance hands in the air blisterer . the perfect soundtrack to your late night steroid and powerade party. kim took a short break from his role as presets party machini to reverse a monster truck and a half full of donks onto the original that hots-it-up into a turbospeed booty monster.

second release on important corestyle, the sister label of important hardcore records which concentrates on the more underground styles of hardcore... this time the label proudly presents 2 highly respected artists on one e.p.! on the a side two slammin tracks by north german top producer moleculez who is responsible for loads of kickin releases on top labels like the third movement, meta4, born ultraviolent and loads of more... the good man serves us two different tracks, which both will be highly appreciated by all lovers of hardcore! the flip side offers two tunes by stan grewzell (known for his releases on industrial strength). alluring ghosts is a rather slow (almost doomcore) track with a very recognazible synth sound and a marching bassdrum. mondmarsch is more industrial/dark/tech orientated.all in all, a stylistically conclusive e.p.

abusing our soft side for dub edgar 9000 gave us these compelling tracks.>play me minus three (patience vs. epiphany mix)< û what starts like a nicely arranged minimal tune bubbles and billows after a short pause up to a big ride on the acid-dub-ghost-train. at the latest when the decently deployed and gated french horn pad sets in on the second half you are completely lost. not for quick peep û but beware: danger of addiction of endless playing is definitely given.meanwhile the title >hook & bait< of the b-side rather reads like the basic principle of fishing. it really sounds like the classic principle of ambient à well almost, since in this case this ambient track is drifting along itself, underlined with a straight driving and floating rhythm fed by an earthly bassline.petri heil! (as we say in krauts-country)

los angeles is a hot bed of underground techno and killer all night parties. at the center of all of this is the duo of acid circus (droid behavior), who control much of the movements sonically and at the events.the brothers >v< inspire this tora release with heavy influence from venetian snares (ie. see title).the main cut throbs with a hypnotic vocal chant and incredible bass. both a dj tool and dance magnet. >dark wave< continues this approach this time with chilling reverb attacks and more bass. label head dietrich schoenemann strips it back to almost a constant loop and still manages to sneak more bass in.

it may have been fate that erphun s very first gig was on halloween, because his music is brooding, pounding, moody and transformative, as if from another realm entirely. his ability to build a mood is mesmerizing and transports the listener to that alternate spiritual level that his moniker infers. having spun around california with residencies for naked, flirt and hotel california and playing at 1015 folsom (san francisco), sevilla (las vegas), broadway (san diego), voodoo lounge (las vegas), risqu (las vegas, new year s eve 2004), and the shelbourne hotel (miami, winter music conference), erphun began to make his mark. erphun s music has been spun in clubs all over the world and is succinctly summed up by steve lawler as a deep, dark and underground unique sound that trademarks his pieces. with early releases on ingrooves, and ascension records followed by releases on viva music oliver klein s mutekki and audio therapy, his name is now instantly recognizable among the tech-house, minimal, techno world of spinning producers who globe trot his compositions to be dropped on every conceivable audience. the reaction of the listener to his slow, driving builds that weave between the almost symphonic-like movements of each of his pieces is always jaw dropping and is usually followed by an exclamatory siiiiiick! . erphun is also a highly sought after re-mixer for artists who want to hear the 4am version of their pieces. the only way to really experience this immense talent is to see him in action. a night of erphun s making heightens the listener s musical aesthetic and aurally illustrates his personal musical vision

support by: charles siegling (technasia), laurent garnier, paco osna, adam beyer, angel molina, mr statik, nihad thule, daniel mehlhart... young gun linus quick teams up with renato cohen from brasil for his premiere on incase recordings, which means you can expect two superb techtunes to shake the floor. hile linus stays in the more minimal techno context, renato adds a almost techhousy facette to the original with his remix

selected advent deal. - this debut release on new imprint numbercult is sure to make waves, pulling no punches with this weighty production. the series hits off with a anonymous artist (which most likely is not making his debut here, judging on the production skills). the a side kicks off landlines, 11 minutes of driving deepness, an overdriven stabbing subbass and solid percussion give the track monstrous bottom end with the hypnotic lead line almost vanishing in the vastness. this could be descriped as a kind of mid 90s techno... the rawer side of basic channel or fcom. an absolute sexy monster track that keeps pushing forward and remains its funky almost dubby drive. strong! from the b side clonic is a driving mills esque x 103 ish assault, layering discordant acid lines to produce an intense and relentless track, broken only once with soaring beautiful strings. a side is essential! the b side only for the headstrong. a great start for this new label from glasgow releasing limited releases of high calibre deep techno from a dynamic collective of producers. a label grounded on the basics of techno with an open mind to the future. and what a great start. check!!!

if there s one lesson we have learned from 2008, it s that techno is not nearly creepy enough. on creep ep, germany s kevin over injects pitch-black dread into the heart of his distinct brand of techno. steamrolling bass-lines, droplets of toxic rain, and ghostly sirens all coalesce into swinging, propulsive grooves that stretch into a never-ending night. mr. over demonstrates his knack for creating arrangements that are both melodious and spacious, crafting an almost seven minutes ride through some of the most banging and infectious techno tracks to date, not to mention some dubby business on surge that would leave lee perry envious. at its most compelling, creep ep paints a picture of a raging warehouse party at the edge of your wildest dreams. including killer remixes by pascal vert and john lagora

although jaxson and keno both have successful solo projects and have previously worked together before, this collaboration is bound to be their most notable release yet. a fusion of house, funk, latin and techno, all meet at the crossroads of their studios for a 4 track ep of sundry beats and fresh flavors. clearly the a-side, >tout le temps< is comprised of a clever hook and a hazy latino vocal sample, which carries the initial groove right into an originally played synth section. a good example of a refreshing approach to adding effects and using sounds. >tarantella< as the title might suggest, one might expect a track that would scare the living day lights out of you, but it has more of a >creeping up from behind you< sort of vibe. a subtlety creeping groove subliminally enters your unconscious mind carrying a secret message. what is that message you ask? dance! the congas on, >red baron< sound so live you can almost here the players licking their fingers. congas might be the groove in the heart of this tune, but the melody of the slick synth stabs and rising strings are what ultimately breath energy and spunk into this roller. >karate kid< initially has a minimal feel, but once the hacked up guitar and vocals come in, you can put those dirty thoughts to rest. abundant with an overwhelming amount of unique and interesting sounds, secure this tunes ability to prick up the ears of finicky djs and clubbers alike. it is rare to find such a wide variation of sound design on your run of the mill ep, but kindisch has proved they are not an ordinary label. they are consistently releasing quality tunes and always providing pleasant surprises. some might say it is a clichÚ, but this ep really does have a bit of something that will drive one club or another nuts

big time summer release! the sd records imprint has build up a steady name with rock-solid releases that switch easily between genres like techno, house and electro. the overload ep by mark du mosch follows this tradition: it s timeless, deep, warm, melodic and above all, very danceable. titletrack overload is a dancefloor monster with a devastating low end and an almost ravey feel to it. genesis is deep and repetitive with fragments of lost melodies drifting to the surface. summer breeze has the perfect title: it s pure musical sunshine for those warm summernights. the beautiful in the clouds takes off with floating melodies that slowly develop into grooving rhythms. a perfect finishing for a perfect ep that will be in many records bags for a long time coming. summer starts early this year. don t miss it.

the parkwalker is one of affie yusuf s monikers under which he released a handful of deep, soothing and hypnotic house gems on funknose, back in the 90 s. some people may also recall house of 909 releases on pagan or alola. we think it s time to get the parkwalker character out there again, walking the parks in search of magic potions and analog children. we think it s time for the parkwalker to rise again and intoxicate innocently wandering souls with his almost therapeutically caressing deep house magic. nowar has the honour and privilege to relaunch the parkwalker with its first release, degeneration. two deep spiritual house gems to which you dance with your eyes closed, melting away to otherworldly spaces. degeneration instantly talks to your soul and dictates the rest of your body with primitive universal moves and grooves. organic, sexy, and soulful music for mind and body. opendance continues the journey on the flipside with equal hypnotic deepness and electronic soothing sounds for angelic tribes in an imaginary future... essential house music

pezzner is back with this, his third ep for freerange, following on from the almost here and other lover releases that kicked off his solo alter ego. he is now in demand for his remix skills with upcoming remixes including mike monday and mark farina for om, lusine for ghostly international and josh wink for shaboom. its easy to hear why he is being heralded as the man to rival dave taylors earlier house productions with his totally unique sound and floor friendly arrangements which guarantee peaktime plays from djs across the board - justin martin remix

we present to you four new tracks from tiger stripes, two of which can be found on the upcoming full-length album, safari. each track sounds like it comes from four different corners of house music, but all strike in unison to create a patchwork sound that could only be tiger stripes. his tracks are so universally rhythmic it can work on almost any dancefloor. each song embarks the listener in a voyage, telling a tale with its varied subliminal messages, with severe synth sounds and incredibly effective drum loops, clearly shining through on this masterpiece collection of danceable works....special rerelease

upyours comes crashing back to the drum and bass scene like bad smell you cant wash away. after 5 years wandering around the wilderness gary banton is back too, with more dancefloor fodder for dubplate hungry djs. his years of absence definitely havent mellowed this almost reclusive producer and single mum syndrome sees him back on blistering form, sticking two fingers up at all his critics who said he wouldnt return.

monster track with a huge joey beltram remix. plays by almost every-(cooool)-body: marco bailey, agoria, technasia, tonka, peter kruder, mihalis safras, glenn morrison, namito

gobsmacked boss, diarmaid o meara has been making waves in the techno world for the past two years with his eclectic style and energetic approach to producing and mixing. just go is one of almost two dozen releases by diarmaid in 08 across several labels. the release features the break beat & violin engorged just go softly release from his antisocial behaviour album which has received much attention from techno and breakbeat radio stations across europe, a stripped down but pumping remix from the godfather of techno, robert armani and the original tough pumping techno version just go which contains more ups, downs and grittiness than you can shake a stick at.

minimalplus is an underground project that started quite a while ago and it is back with a new release. on the record minimalplus give you a legendary dutch underground dj called noes. it one of those guys who was there from the beginning. for a long time he had a solid residency at the transistor nights in the south of holland where he played with almost al big techno names like, jeff mills, joey beltram, surgeon, james ruskin, johannes heil, ben sims, robert hood, steve rachmad and the list goes on. now noes launches his first release on this underground imprint. one the aside the is hd which is like the man him self a little hyper. rolling percussion with some upwards movement. rocking but also a useful dj tool. one the bside there is the shit and it is! a rocking minimalistic rave sound, freaky sequence and easy to get a crowd going.

one year after his first ep on cargo edition, kostas tassopouls aka ekkohaus delivers to the label another incredibly strong release. the native-born greek, now living in berlin, has developed into an skilled producer who rides the line between techno and house. the combination of reduced, hypnotic and impulsive arrangements with a subtle deepness are typical of ekkohaus’ sound, demonstrated perfectly in the two tracks of this ep. “unsound” is characterized by his smooth, almost elegant rhythm. a repetitive meandering vocal sample weaves through the track, sounding familiar yet haunting at the same time. the track is already played by many key dj’s and is definitely to be heard more often within the next months to come. “moon talking” focuses on a more standard vocal which gives the track some pop-appeal. at the same time the introverted male vocal introduces a very catching harmony which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the dancefloor. with this ep, ekkohaus cements himself as one of the modern-house talents.

for the 25th release on recognition, one of the premiere polish export goods, label boss jacek sienkiewicz teams with a longtime friend, and extraordinary musician, chilean maestro pier bucci. both have been playing together for some time now, and this debut studio recording hopefully will not be the last. despite obvious cultural differences, both artists share some curious sensibility and/or sort of modern romanticism - underpinned either with latin optimism (bucci) or a kind of slavic melancholy (sienkiewicz). add to this the dopest tech-house beats available today, and dancefloor destruction is guaranteed.the title track is a cross-genre time bomb, obviouslydesigned to mess with the heads while the bodies can t stop moving. kicking off with driving, solid beat of almost live feel, soon it develops into a symphony of carefully crafted and meticulously assembled sounds. we are treated by some strange woodwinds, jokingly reminding of jacek s previous hit outing, beacon , and... is this the pope we hear talking for a moment...? …

with a prime palindrome inigo kennedy, as always, provides an array of distinctive and original tracks that continue to stand out from the crowd.avoiding titles the music does the talking. bounded by an intro and outro here are four tracks that push the envelope further than most.kicking off with a brutal and driving digital assault a1 has been tearing up sound systems in many ways reminiscent of the seminal asy001.a2 builds on the intricate and mature edge of the asymmetric sound. a strong and evolving melody draws you in over a slow moving atmosphere. underpinned by a classic kennedy rhythm and characteristic of the unique way he layers sounds together.driven by a warmly distorted rolling rhythm b1 turns up the heat once again whilst over the top floats a trademark futuristic atmosphere.b2 dives straight back into the world of digital manipulation. an elastic loop is treated. its pitch slowly grows. the effect is almost imperceptible. the result is hypnotic.

part 2 of the simple, maybe release reveals the dark side of the brothers schwarz. yeah ought to be taken literally. batten down the hatches and turn up the volume, here comes a true masterpiece. naturally, tiefschwarz have saved the banger until last. there are not many tracks out there, which make you get up and dance after two bars already. the basis of yeah is a perfectly orchestrated drum beat. a steady bass drum, rolling toms, a crisp snare, all together powered by a low-pitch synth sample in the background. a sound, that is as offensive and sentimental as possible at the same time. add a well-filtered choir sample on top and you get a deepness and amplitude that can only be mastered by the finest soundsystems on the planet. like looking through a burning glass, the break shows what tiefschwarz are really all about with this track: gradually, all sound elements are shut down, overlayed by white noise that comes with goosebumps guarantee. this spring, youll better be on the dancefloor, when the drums set in again! deininger on the b-side is an almost gloomy track, driven by a dark deep-house bass line. once again, tiefschwarz play with a wide range of elements: an off-beat synth wind section, dry tinker bells and sliced vocals, well-orchestrated by a fine mix. all together this creates the perfect atmosphere for a monday morning sun rise. exhausted, dried-out, longing for your bed and a glass of water, yet at the same time not wanting to go home. great music got soul, the perfect balance, that keeps the heart pumping and the body dancing. deininger is about this certain temper, the groove, that makes you carry on.
