the loop:
this nice, funky, underground and late night beat eddie put down represents his origins of funky detroit house fillers … also, columbia style vox sample is a killer on the floor for the best djs with skills ...
let my nuts hang:
eddie fowlkes should change his last name to funky … the whole track is letting his nuts hang for 24 years of putting out release! the groove is out cold, plus what eddie is saying in the track is really true!

circle musics alex flatner is back at his own imprint together with one of germanys most successful and busiest djs and producers oliver klein. with this release circle music continues its series of high quality records also in 2010.

we have never done a project like this before where the artists choose all the remixers themselves. but for the crazy italoboyz album >bla bla bla< we found ourselves not really knowing what to do. so instead of forcing our own ideas for remixers we went back to the source and let the artists run wild on the a&r. marco and fede commissioned all the remixers themselves. the producers they chose are a very diverse bunch and the vinyl 12inch takes a sampling of the best material from two very big underground names. on the a-side das kraus duo turn it a super jackin yet also very haunting rendition of >oh mio dio.< it sounds like pitched up chicago house meets demon days. on the b-side old school master dandy jack turns in one of the oddest records ever on mothership with some unusual sound design, voices and semi-dischordant note runs. super weird for the super weird! whatever you think of this odd lot no one can deny these remixes definitely carry the indistinguishable mark of that ever so quirky duo, the italoboyz

sweatshops third release rolls on in with two hot, old-school-vibed productions from joel alter! swedish-berliner alter turns in two fresh, yet raw, cuts that are perfect for the winter club season, and a special edit from label boss savas pascalidis also features. lead cut soul clap is a heavy metal bass weapon for the house or techno floors. pure adrenal action is on hand from the outset, where joels sub-assured kick and ravey, filthy organ riff works the groove. direct and straight to the point, its a strong, forward leaning tool that is sure to get the fires burning in early 2010. savas pascalidis also re-works soul clap with his own edited version, working the 909 into overtime and turning up the intensity even higher! classic and tough chicago vibes all the way!

portugals finest exponent of the disco re-edit culture, social disco club, finally delivers his debut release on disco deviance. and wow has it been worth the wait! sdc has had releases on mindless boogie, eskimo and big bear amongst other top labels. he is also a top notch disc jockey and his dj sets are fuelled by his own disco re-edits. for this release sdc slices up the saturday night bands >dont< and extends it into a joyful heavy disco groove that rocks the dancefloor. while on the flip, he demonstrates a more slow mo disco style in his reworking of leo sunshipps >sunshine<, which brings to mind the work of mark e and the revenge, while still keeping a firm eye on the disco ball. both tracks are respectfully edited, lovingly re-mastered and cut loud at 45 rpm for maximum dance floor pleasure and dj delight.

christian and his band also apply their open-minded jazz attitude to the minimalist house throb of groove la chord by the stockholm-based aril brikha. a crescendo of liquid beats and feverish drums, the track builds to a breathless carnival rush, then sinks back to pure pulsating rhythm again. magnificent.

from the discos capablanca guys a new project! los massieras are a reality only in your 70s boogie state of mind! this re-edit project formed by two berliner djs aims to bring a fresh approach to the art of bastardization. boogity boogity boogity is their first ep, which also launches the new (velvet) underground label bananamania. each track is quite different, from the floor-oriented boogie title track, to the mutant disco of >bananamania<, to the psychedelic delirium that is >shroom heaven<, which has already gained instant fans such as lovefingers.

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.

resident nick höppner returns with his third release for ostgut ton. after last years >makeover< come three new detailed excursions, plus a remix by lee jones. almost entirely constructed from field recordings taken within the walls of berghain, >brush me down< is a raw and textural jam, uncontrived and jostling with energy. jittery, shuffling and shaking, höppners love for funky, off-kilter percussion shines through as he pieces together a mysterious audio puzzle of found atmospherics, club nights and concerts otherwise committed only to memory yet now preserved and recycled. it also is a hint at what is to be expected from ostgut tons 5 years anniversary compilation this autumn.

>the hissing subsides< is rico puestels (also well known as dinamoe) selection of pure bliss deep house. each of the four tracks has a different potential. whilst >dammit im mad< and >carving down< go straight to the floor with pounding tech house grooves, >dler< and >i only wear this bonnet here< take the listener to the dubbier sides of house.

basti grub is a specialist for extraordinary and outstanding productions. loving music from his early childhood on. he seems to have a different approach to electronic dance music. these 3 tunes here are combining afro beats with wonderful rhythm driven latino tech house sounds, spanish guitars and smooth but subtle vocals and melodies. its also a bit different from his usual productions concentrating more on rhythm & drums than usually. he left certain elements and hooks out to let the groove develop and this is probably the best thing he could ever do.

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.

this music works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture. it is used where the batter lacks the elastic structure to hold gas bubbles for more than a few minutes. because carbon dioxide is released at a faster rate through the acid-base reaction than through fermentation, music made by chemical leavening is called >quick compositions. the tracks are made up of an alkaline component, one or more acid salts, and an inert starch (cornstarch in most cases, though potato starch is also used).

circus company is proud to celebrate its first collaboration with one of the most emblematic and talented actors of the jena scene. for sure you know robag wruhme for is past work on his own imprint musik krause and on freude-am-tanzen alongside monkey mafia as the wighnomy brothers dj duet. this artist always stand out musically. from his past releases till today and across his remixes you cant miss his unique personality in music. this four tracker provides a colorful musical palette of mr wruhme. from the dark and minimal side of blech beulé to the «herbertish» robadella and the magnificent melodical slow mood of 48° 52&#8242,,,,,,,,,,,, n, 2° 21&#8242,,,,,,,,,,,, (in between, thats the location for paris on the map in case you loose yourself…) while he was delivering the tracks robag also requested a remix from ark, another strong character of the paris. ark did a a brilliant work on this blech beulé remix which gives a nice „avant goût“ of his upcoming album on perlon which will be out in april.

the spaniard manuel fernandez llorente had a classical musical upbringing, studying at the music conservatorium in madrid. he has been composing and producing electronic music since 1996, not only releasing on his own label >7noise< but more importantly also being licensed for various major compilations. now he is releasing his first tracks on highgrade records. at first, >addiction< unspectacularly plods on towards house heaven, but then the sparse vocals and timeless organ sounds give you a warm and soft electro shock. the first track on the b side >the gull< shows off prompts talents as a composer. a very discreet melody blankets the straight beat, taking away the coldness of the bass. a beautiful dream track that should never really end. >mechanic< brings it home and is right in your face, a journey into minimal techno country, where you meet the sound ghosts that prompt has summoned. a single drum beat here, a voice there and a now and again a sound shred that are all meticulously arranged to make the perfect atmosphere.
