the album title track >my manifest< shows, that marco stays true to his love for house chords. old school riffs meet energy loaded beats and his dark self-spoken manifest and reveal a new, more technoid face of marc o tool. >the grail< however shows, that he also still knows how to embed harmonies in a club outfit. driving rhythms reminding of the old o tool days, get alternated by an emotional piano breakdown, to finally find their way back into the floating monotony

we welcome the new parallel 125 release, an mpc exclusive label now. this is another exquisit ep from loudon kleer. 4 cuts of nice vanguard techno minimalism, that also feature special guest damon wild from synewave records remixing one of the tunes.

the 3rd release by scott grooves on his natural midi label, this is scotts first ever ep and color vinyl release. all 4 tracks possess a different mood and distinct raw edge, which plays well on this well balanced ep.track 1 dark blu speaks for itself, simply stated and deeply enriched. the relentless melody never lets go of the groove and the groove never lets go the melody. everything in this track harmonizes together perfectly.track 2 dna definitely disturbs the peace with vintage analog synth sounds. the old school sounding vocal sample echoes thruout the track that >detroit needs analog records< take a listen and decide if that echoes true!track 3 >it doesnt all have to be techy< as the title suggest there is know >techyness< here, its all about a deeply stormin groove that is enriched with warm melodic keys and a lovely guitar, yes i said guitar that altogether creates a feelin thats organic but not boring. track 4 decimalquivers in and out with a fm gritty synth stab, complete with minimal drums or as scott calls them >drims< which is the term scott uses for minimal drums. also present is a deep pad sound that brews slowly like an eruption. co-produced by panther, a name you will hear more about in the future

supported by alex attias (planet e), italoboyz, karotte, sebo k, raresh, d julz, funk d void. michael melchner is barely at the beginning of his twenties. at the moment deep house of the late nineties has to take a shine to him. in the detail it gets clear, that this is not only a copy of an epoch, but a certain vibe, which is going to be transferred into the present. this vibe with his warm sound, the well dosed house beats and a strong musical sense is hearable, but this sounds by no means antiquated. on a-side several instruments like percussions, xylophone and samples of an mexican trumpet make sure that there isn’t only an exiting variety shortly before or after the primetime, but also a proper portion of itchy feet. with the both tracks on the flip-side the whole spectrum of michael melchner becomes clear, at the one hand a clear view on the dance floor with classical house beats and on the other hand a musical character, which one misses in many current productions. >chen chen< is slightly more co plicated and more rhythmic whilst >nothing happened< is a pleasing leaned back dramaturgical subtle house piece with a distinctive bass line and interspersed voice samples.

funny a side!! the danish scene has evolved a lot over the last years, with acts like trentemøller, martinez and whomadewho. the new label tartelet records is rising from the horizon of the copenhagen club culture. tartelet records is founded by fredski (the man behind the greatest copenhagen parties ) and tomboy (aka tomas barfod, dj, producer and drummer of whomadewho, with previous releases on turbo, kitsuné , get physical and gomma). the two founders themselves are also behind this first tartelet release, which is a true showcase of what the label stands for: tech-house with multiple flavors like ghetto, funk, disco and a bit world. the a-side ‘do the tartelet’ is a schizophrenic yet effect full combination of sampled horn-madness, hand claps and techno bass. on the flip side ‘cereal’ sounds as if james holden and paul jonson were trying to make minimal house together. the future releases from tartelet promise remixes from world-league remixers (tba) and tracks by danish kleshmer-techno-reggae band analogik do the tartelet

deleta aka dj bazooka is the label boss of this new dubstep label catering to the darker, harder side of dubstep. bazooka is also behind berlins most ferocious and unapologetic drum n bass label aural carnage. with an almost vampiric hunger for the tastes of hip hop, ragga, jungle, metal, reggae, dub and graffiti deleta has spawned nothing but gut wrenching and unforgettable tracks

e-contact is the alias below eelco augustijn, also known as cadeee or kopforn. eelco has released in labels like area remote, phonocult, suruba digital, minisketch or stock5 and he will release soon at heimatmelodie, delete rec or catenaccio! >imagine her stoned< is an ep that incl. 3 great and groovy tracks, 2 original and a big remix of olene kadar (mo s ferry). big support by laurent garnier, gregor tresher, monoroom, marc depulse, dj fex, alecs marta

cosmic club is a label focused on releasing original obscure dance classic. for this 5th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 2 fantastic trax once again, brand image are you lovin? a pure cosmic italo disco gem, a track very rare to find and sought after in its full instrumental version, it made us think about an italo disco version of chk chk chk!!! and as a bonus we put also on the b side, another italo cult classic from lectric workers the garden, both tracks have been played by the big daniele baldelli for years now and obviously all the italo cosmic disco freaks on this planet!

steve kotey needs little introduction, head honcho of bear entertainment, an accomplished producer and a member of chicken lips. kotey is joined on this record by max essa. having previously released on paper recordings back in 2001 max also played guitar with the infamous, long distance runners. steve & max have delivered 3 beautiful records in the shape of the salon de l herbe series. this ep offers up everything good that is disco from the up tempo 1974 a side to the spaced out vibes of 1988. if that wasnt enough this 12inch release is finished off with a 3 rd track 1981 on the cosmic/balearic tip. the years may become confusing but with live drums, guitars and slick arrangement words cant do these productions justice. more to come from these two with a follow up in the salon de l herbe series dueto be released in june/july 08, exciting stuff!

santiago salazar aka dj s2 is better know as one half of ican. he has also been part of ur production units los hermanos and galaxy ii galaxy. he has also recorded as aztech sol. with this materia oscura he has delivered a release that >techno detroit< can be proud of. two deep, building techno tracks, in which you can easily hear his heritage. for fans of carl craig, ur etc. this is part 8 of 12 in this series.

felix kröcher & eric sneo - two names that stand worldwide for >techno< - have got together for a very special collaboration, >connected< is not only the title of their joint album but also the name of a project that includes their international tour

an incredible ep with namlook exploring the edges of minimal techno and deep ambient, while the remixes are pepe bradocks most dancefloor oriented works in ages! macro delivers a stunning release by a man who has not only produced 3 collaborational albums with richie hawtin, but also runs the ultra influential fax label with an artist roster ranging from speedy j to bill laswell to klaus schulze: namlook is a true electronic pioneer in a league of his own. the track >subharmonic atoms< was produced back in 1995 and is re-released by macro as a long out of print electronic prototype on the edge of minimal techno and ambient. but dont think this is a retro affair: subharmonic atoms sounds incredibly fresh and proves it is as groundbreaking, innovative and timeless as jeff mills early axis works or hawtins concept1 series. entirely remastered from the original source and cut in unparalleled sound quality, it is available on a single 12inch side for the first time ever. the release is completed with nothing short but french remix master pepe bradocks triumphant return to the dancefloor. his versions of >atoms< are rocking upfront house burners, which his fans have been waiting for since 2003s intrusion ep. definitely one of this years hottest packages

alex krueger is ready for his next strike on dirt crew rec. the follow up to his excellent <push the patton< single is an absolute minimal killer, 3 quality tracks here and a different side of tigerskin for each taste. all tracks were produced with analogue equipment only which has become pretty rare these days ! the title track is a warm and reduced builder with an absolutely devestating guitar breakdown, people will remember this one for sure when they first hear it out on a big system. the second >wanted< is a typical tigerskin rave anthem, similar to his master hit >neontrance< this one is pure power on the dancefloor. the last track is more funky and has a great electro groove to it, this one has become a favourite in our sets over the last weeks and also features a beautiful break with great analogue sounds

nice price deal !!! after releasing singles with his hommies from luckystars on our conya label and delivering hot remixes on clubstar, here comes the debut single of dj electric from moscow. he is also the man behind the mighty deepology label and the same called radio show. dj electric teamed up with german spanish beauty simone de nauw. after her smah hit luv she delivers bigtime again. next to the original deep n warm electronic mixes you will find a whole wide range of remixes: per qx (uk/swe) takes it to the bigrooms, satoshi fumi (jap) goes deep, edmund gives it the soulful rub (esp) & andrey loud (rus) does it the electronic way. summer must be just around the corner!

incl mark broom remix, big with patrick lindsey, karotte, sebbo !! the next snork brings you two_em from berlin who is known from his releases on lables like rotary cocktail which is also a label you could often find in the m_nus head playlists of richie hawtin, skript music, peace road records, stadtgruen or his upcoming remix on kiddaz.fm. on the monsterside there is the remix by mark broom who had great releases on pure plastic, dimmer rec., platzhirsch ltd. or toys for boys. it s a bit straighter as the original and has a little touch of older tresor releases.

for this second release the indigo raw crew proudly presents >dominus< who are dominic & mirus, two fresh and upcoming producers from barcelona. their first release tarantella ep is a three tracker that brings you directly into the deep chemistry of modern tech-house. on the a side >skin< is a driving warm up tune with deep cords and rolling grooves while >tarantella< builds up with pumping beats and fluffy pads. sian (octopus/poker flat) also delivers one of his best remixes so far adding hypnotic atmospheres and rolling baselines that makes it a perfect peak time tune for the crowds

big bang the birth of our solar system, our ground wire and adjacent luminary. the universe is a collective of wild mixed atom constellations. the big bang ep is a part of the boundless expanse of electronic producing, the 4 different artists shows the polychronic function of analogue and synthetic sound design. the already known eintakt artists einklang freier frequenzen and hugo duran / kong and the new members linus quick (released also on traum-schallplatten) and christoph schindling (released on dreiton) created this mix of atmospheric deep techno and asyetic minimal tunes

two building up monsters with very precise production and clear mixing. these tracks will dominate the floor for sure and drive people crazy with their hypnotic style. the return of a. mochi, who made his name not only with releases on luke slater s >mote evolver< imprint, also his last kumo-release was a massive success by finding a way to combine shaky minimal grooves with the energy of clearly arranged, straight techno

somebody somewhere is the new single from indie heroes cazals. with its strutting guitars and angular attitude its a massive hit in the making and a bonafied summer anthem. this 7inch will also feature the chiming guitars of new track success.

for this 3rd release, we give you the opportunity to grab 3 fantastic trax once again. first, video club lost time a pure cosmic italo disco gem, a track very very rare to find and sought after in its full instrumental version, still easy to drop in any dj set today. 2nd, automat droid an amazing dance electro breakbeat track done in 1978!!! obviously you wont find it anywhere else, available only on cosmic club. this has been a must for all the cbs & i f fans who really know their job and what they re talking about!! 3rd, decadance on & on (fears keep on) also in its full instrumental version, originally released on proto records (!), this is funny as this track is obvisouly so proto new wave/electro/cosmic/italo.

incl great remixes by sascha funke and dj koze !! danse avec moi is the first single to be taken from noze s new album, songs on the rocks, the french duo s most surreal and scintillating vision of dance music yet, to be released on get physical music on april 25th. the 12 is equipped with remixes from sascha funke and the inimitable dj koze.>danse avec moi< is a proper love song. it is also noze s first ever song in french, and so with typical perversity, they thought it might be amusing to call upon an american to do the singing - the wonderful dani siciliano, best known for her albums for! k7 and litany of collaborations with matthew herbert. dani duets elegantly with david lafore (who also penned the song s lyrics) over a propulsive, swinging 4x4 drum tattoo, bouncy bassline, rippling harp and lavish string arrangements. as is so often the case with noze, the piano is at the forefront of the arrangement, providing not just straightforward melody and harmony but eminently danceable rhythm. it is an anthem in the making. you should know better than to expect a straightforward remix from kompakt s resident mad scientist, dj koze.

nice price deal !!! lickin records label bosses sunloverz return with their brand new project called trashfunk on the starlet recordings imprint. their task was to remix the 80s cult record talking in your sleep from the romantics which is still played by jocks like armand van helden or felix da housecat, and they doubtless made a great job. for all full on vocal haters there is also a kickin dub mix and a stunning ben delay remix.

third ep from this old skate buddy of the ed banger guys who develops an own extremly funky style of hip hop ghetto disco. the first two 12inchers created a huge hype on blogs such as bigstereo, headphone sex & slutty fridge. golden bugs 1st single was supported by many djs such as jori hulkonnen & cajuan and also featured as the opener on the latest dfa mixtape (mixed by shit robot)! golden bug is the king of ghetto disco! ...its the hardest hip hop disco you ever heard...booooom!

sweet n candy brings a very well rounded ep to doc. rico henshel (aka sweet n candy) is another techno veteran who needs little introduction. the wicked keeper ep also features a remix by doc label boss, aaron hedges, and beaner (who is also s o o n to release his 2nd record on rekids - radioslaves label)

not only is franklin sharing his flat with yapacc these days, hes also remixing the likes of peter grummich, colorswitch, ricardo villalobos or pheek, the berlin resident is also releasing constantly persuasively arranged and produced music on crack & speed, sender, trapez, immigrant and on his own imprint the green empire (which is he co-running also with his long-time friend yapacc). >this is probably the best cadenza release which hasnt been released on cadenza<, said a journalist a week ago - and who are we to deny this? these two tracks are beautifully towering tripped-out, post-minimal techno pieces which are not only suitable for late night moments.

incl massive surgeon remix - tip. in 2002 the japanese artist go hiyama made his debut on james ruskin s imprint coda records, followed by releases on electracom, maracas, warm up records and also on audio assault. now he returns on audio assault with >geometrical<, showing techno is more than just a pounding beat. on the flip side >geometrical< is remixed by surgeon, who after many years still is top of the bill in today s techno scene.

komplex audio kicks out a floor burner that is allready heating up the clubs all around. timemachine turned out to be a real dancefloor bomb. watch out for the mindblowing breaks that turn people crazy! on the flip hamburgs top act nudisco presents some remix work on timemachine. their tekk attack remix concentrates on a straight and also highly effective setup giving a powerful nudisco-touch to the original. last but not least there is a big surprise on b2: herz, a 102nd century remix of the brillant mandis & durden track

goncalo m is a new name in the impressive roster of yin yang. goncalo is a big dj in portugal and his style is dynamic, full of percussions, and yet at the same time very groovy and hard. this release is just that! in other words perfect for the dancefloor! also including a very solid remix by dj mika!!

this is the 3rd release by brandon moeller on echochord, and still the releases are getting stronger and stronger. brendon is also known from his beat pharmacy and echologist projects, and he is also releasing on labels like third ear, earsuger jukebox and deep space media

samuel rouanet aka reynold aka duplex 100 (together with phil stumpf) also boss of trenton is releasing here his first full ep on his own label. after a year of serious boredom when it comes to techno music and especially what is the so called >minimal< sound, he decided to release what is his own vision of dance music. >poison in my mind< has a strong bass line and triplets chords that drives you while the melody comes in and out. >blue steel< is more of an old school anthem with strings and detroit vibes. >craft<“ is what reynold does the best, electro deep cinematographic tune, close to the work he did on persona with his >my favorite film< album. >like it or leave it

taken from the patterns 25 - elton d dropped a fresh n funky piece of tech-house material on that.. the tune is reconstructed by some of the hottest stars in the bizz. what to think of marco nastic, who recently turn just about everything into gold! murphy and fischer take thing slightly deeper, where the essential parts of the original by elton are left intact. the brazilian techno artist also present a suitable follow up to this magnificent dancefloor smasher

the futurebuzz ep, the name is apt as i am sure heads are gonna be buzzin to this record well into the future. this release features a full cut from label owner troydon and also a new artist named datakid who i think is gonna do the do in 08 by the sounds of things.

remixes from legendary dj assault…. also included remix by guter music, original version, and dj missils very own re-interpretation, recalled >we dont care< ...

second set of remixes for this genre straddling track, featuring the vocal talents of soul sensation in waiting, ben westbeech. marrying the kraakers future funk and hip hop beats with a sensational perfomance from the young bristolian made this track a sure bet as the first choice single although the band did release a couple of warm up eps to remind everyone why their debut album boogie angst was a worldwide success. here trevor loveys, mainstay of the dubsided label, originator of the fidget house sound alongside switch, sinden and jesse rose and partner of herve in the huge selling speakerjunk project, turns in a hot vocal remix that pumps the track towards a different dancefloor altogether. he also found time to serve up a tasty dub that neatly crosses the divide between bassline and techy fidget house. one for the festivals this summer no doubt!

inner thoughts is a rolling acid track with off beat snares and broken hi hats while space disco is a deep detroit esque, mid tempo slice of electronic gem. sonja moonear (karat, katapult) has added her own dimension into the release, having reworked space disco into an obscurely deep, heavily bassed broken piece of dance floor wonder. also on remix duties, lasimo (senator/germany) has taken the original from down town detroit to a parisian night club, dropping the main acid line out but manoeuvring the percussive groove and gentle pads to an altogether new kind of experience.

dsecret svc. coco machete comes out guns blazing with the new single >tight jeans< from dsecret svc, a modernist hip house beatdown. the remix package is more than complete for any heavy handed dj and dancefloor. first up is a remix from fukkk offf who brought you >im a freak< at the end of last year. this time he delivers two dangerous mixes, one full vocal and one deep electro-dub. hit the flip for two ghetto heavy remixes (vox & inst) from baltimores own dj booman of the 410 pharaohs who have a full length b-more club album coming out this year on ill friction/strictly rhythm. the original mix, also on the flip is the perfect marriage of hip hop and house...check the vibe.

deep, deeper, peter grummich! this man is on a roll right now, and with every new release you have to ask yourself where this is all going to lead to? however with the >garden ep< he now already delivers the perfect soundtrack for weeding the beds and waterblasting the terrace - and for partying hard, of course. >beachtrak< prefers its quintessential sub-harmonics to just playing it safe with an upfront bassdrum, and finally channels its way in a wide arc up to the next level. a hit also for friends of water gardens. on the b-side grummich enlarges his melodic skills with a sweet flowery scent of detroit on the track >garden<, and >its to share<, which evolves into a great anthem with just an assumed number of 3 sounds and a couple of snotty claps

incl argy remix !! tokyo s rising star ryo murakami has already put his diverse, electronic sound on the map with the >rise< ep on dessous last year, and received great praise for his track >my soul<, snapped up by steve bug for the fabric mix series, which was piled high with atmosphere and dark, club energy. his next 12 includes two new tracks, the title cut being >down the sky<, cooly influenced by old school house, but also more recent european forays into night music. ryo demonstrates a heavy aptitude for stripped down futurism, with staccato, jilted beats, joined by layers of padded synth structures, looming somewhere between light and darkness. the b side, ‚coke‘ (no questions asked) welcomes another one of ryo‘s extended journeys, this time a stronger, peak time groove which never lets off, and builds around layers of spaced out, pitching fx. brain-tingling pitching synths heat things up, before laying down a super-funk hook that melts on top of the beats irresistibly. ryo then leads us head-first into a series of spac d out, jacked-up movements, characterised by risque, feminine vocal snippets. poker flat‘s young greek maestro, argy, creates a stunning hi-tech remix of ‚down the sky,‘ complete with mesmeric dub influenced chord stabs and tripped out washes of delay. once again carrying on the vibe of the original, but twisting it into an altogether different beast, argy takes ryo‘s warm synth stabs and shapes the remix into a slow paced yet pumping club tool.

after being discovered and initially managed by jamiroquai, cozi costi has co written with a host of the industrys most proven artists like sucker djs, sunfreaks and david guetta. fireworks was released on toolroom records in early 2007 and was a buzz chart 1 track. cozi also co wrote the lyrics for counting down the days by the sunfreakz, released on oxyd, positiva and starlet in 2006! cozis latest collaboration is with david guetta: performing baby when the light on his poplife album, cozi is now set for further chart success. but now its time for her collaboration with starlets phonjaxx! sensual has recently been signed to ultra and positiva and is now finally available with brand new club mixes!

for his new album, heretic pride, darnielle has once more retreated into his imagination to conjure a suite of songs about mythical creatures, imaginary cults, slasher films and pulp fiction novelists. hes also come up with some of the most anthemic,impassioned and downright catchy songs of his career: sax rohmer, autoclave and lovecraft in brooklyn join a long line of glorious mountain goats shouters, they ll doubtless have audiences raising the roof at venues around the world in the coming months.

streetwise was one of the seminal dance labels of the eighties, responsible, with its subsidiary imprint partytime, for several important and influential examples of the dance genre. several of its releases were indicative of the directions that both dance and r&b would take over the next few years. the signing of vocal group new edition and their resulting hit candy girl is generally acknowledged as the beginning of the boy band phenomenon, and the labels last hit, music is the answer, was also a key element in the rise of house music. the label lasted for only a few years before falling victim to its own success and the related success of its owners, especially revered producer and remixer, arthur baker. here is a selection of streetwises greatest 12inch mixes, gathered from the archives during streetwise reign over the dance market presented on this vinyl.

as one of the most influential house labels of the 80s sleeping bag has stood the test of time with its releases. 25 years on and the tracks still provide the dance world with a regular source of sample material. here on this double lp compilation are some of sleeping bags most seminal records released during a ten year period, which brought to attention the sublime production talents of the labels cofounder arthur russell and a&r skills of curtis mantronik. the collection contains the track dinosaur l produced by russell, remixed and subsequently made famous by francois kevorkian. the sleeping bag family also extended to legendary producer and dj todd terry, who re mixed several of sleeping bags tracks. also featuring on this release is joyce sims with two tracks taken from her hit album come into my life. after the death of russell in 1992 the label limped on for awhile but finally shut its doors the same year.

the mysterious andres - also dj of the detroits legendary hiphop outfit slum village - returns with a teaser to his upcoming second full-length. ruff n real detroit house music

there is a truly massive buzz around this record. pete tong is all over this amazing cover of underground resistance - night of the jaguar produced by sebastian leger. this is a legal cover and not a bootleg and his mix has been massively respectful to the original using many of the original elements and also keeping true to the arrangement to create a brilliant up to date interpetation. listen and enjoy - this will be massive.
