brilliant analog sounding deep house with detroit / chicago flavours... decks tipp

apartment records 2nd release comes from irelands analogue-obsessed soul assassins, tr one. on the a-side, drum dance is a fusion of beatdown with a minimal techno aesthetic, creating a hypnotic journey through the duos machines. the b-side serves up 2 alternative takes. john heckles debut remix takes a heaving, lo-fi approach to the originals drums while layering it with wistful synths, before juju & jordashs dub version closes off proceedings in their inimitable style, expansive yet claustrophobic at the one time.

pop will eat itself (they took the name from a feature in the nme) was formed in 1986 and became one of the most well-known grebo-acts before changing their style to alternative dance and industrial rock. in 1996 they disbanded the group and each of the bandmembers concentrated on solo projects before shortly reforming the band in 2005 to play some shows. these gigs were notable from their instant double live albums which were available only ten minutes after the gigs. in july 2011, graham crabb announced a new line-up with him as the only original member.
>new noise designed by a sadist< is the first release with new pwei-material since 1994.

*** limited edition***, clear vinyl
alternative mixes taking virgo four into darker / more experimental territory... serious stuff from some serious virgo fans! very limited.. tip .. capracara and his studio pal, scott fraser, turn in a 100% replayed version of the much sort after >lites go out < – it was recorded in no other than mr andrew weatheralls studio on all vintage gear. on the flip, jamal moss steps into his hieroglyphic being guise and kicks out a brilliant reworking of >boing< - we can only imagine what he had running in order to make this ! special stuff…

anders trentemoller has become one of the most respected names in cutting edge electronic music in the last few years. his rise to notoriety was sparked by his early, techy releases for poker flat and audiomatique and has since gone on to stellar highs with his own personal take on the genre, spanning, pop, rock, indie and classical. his debut album >the last resort< was released in 2006 to much international acclaim, and the producer also began to become an in-demand remixer in the house and techno world. as the decade wore on his sound continued to progress, opening up his studio to more live instrumentation, and a looser, rock-meets electronic vibe with his stunning >into the great wide yonder< lp. now this special double cd and double vinyl release celebrates some of the producer s favourite remixes he completed for other artists, and also some of his personal picks where other musicians have reworked his music.

120 days are a 4 piece from oslo who released an acclaimed self-titled record in 2006. in the time since, the band has been developing and honing a sound, the first taste of which is >osaka<, which will come out on club mod.
a brooding, tribal, baggy acid beast, the >osaka< single, with remixes by sidwho? and diskjokke, is now available in 12 inch format.

2nd release of leo zero on lets get lost. his remix of the florence and the machine was highly acclaimed. new leo zero remix for super talented teenaged rock band >bombay bicycle club< is simply brilliant stuff.this is good way of pop stuff. when i listened this remix,i thought its like a disco version of style council. on b side, rune lindbaek edit is bit alternative for djs. dont miss this great remix tracks.

dance music legend chez damier dusts down this past murmur hit by commander in chief geddes and mic newman to produce two house versions. chez damiers alternative remix is already setting the dancefloor of the panorama bar ablaze due to solid support from the ever excellent cassy. with its rolling groove, shuffling percussion and tough drums it looks set to be a staple in many more djs boxes over the following months. chezs flute mix loosens up the percussion and injects a slightly deeper musical feeling and makes it a more than worthy alternative choice.

the proposition is a simple one. it was a 2009 when julio bashmore first remixed >heartbreaker< from deadboys classic first release - the >u cheated< ep on well rounded.
he remoulded the garage template of the original into something more immediate, replacing the swung off-beats of the original with driving forward-rhythms and a clarity of purpose that takes absolutely nothing away from the musical impact of the original. this circulated on mp3 and we smiled and danced.
unexpectedly, in 2010 jb returned to >heartbreaker< for a different interpretation. this time around a more haunting approach was the order of the day with cross-fading strings creating a soulful, otherworldly atmosphere. the drop this time also swapped sub bass for punchy 808s. a tantalising further alternative that pointed the way to this vinyl release.
back 2 back timeless brilliance for the dancefloor on our favourite format. get stuck in.

our favorite usa artist >strategy< finally returned with two excellent alternative house tracks!! a side, >the fixer<is unique mixture of dubby house and kind of italo disco sound. if you like the music of caribous daphni or four tet, you will like this song. b side, >another rain< is like a kraut rock oriented house meets thomas fehlmann. its for the fan of four tet or prins thomas or lo soul.

with >el otro mundo<, 7 samurai (aka panoptikum, dubben, les gammas) deliver the best alternative versions, takes and remixes of their acclaimed >el mundo nuevo< album. and the >other world< features a wide range of musical styles from soulful sounds by the likes of desmond foster and blue eyez to hip hop, reggae, dancehall and some fine electro tunes.

te next release on double standard is the sonic love child of deniz kurtel, guti and gadi mizrahi. conceived at the dawn of a new year inside the marcy hotel, brooklyn, the way i feel ep- is slow, instinctive mood music, beautiful in its simplicity. floating on a lazy groove, title track the way i feel- sounds like the haze of being in love. intimate, sexy and deep, the sultry voice of a lover caresses layers of spaced- out beats drifting through low-key piano notes, distorted and interlaced with the woozy bassline. flip over to the b-side and the vibe of -3am- is muddier and full of eerie, echoing keys and disembodied vocals. with a bassline raw and impulsive, -3am- is the late night counterpart to the early morning bliss of the a-side. fluid in motion, light traces of techno slowly filter though the loose percussive rolls in spontaneous unison. as an integral member of the wolf + lamb crew and one-time resident at the label-s creative source –the marcy, deniz kurtel has since evolved into one of house music-s most exciting producers, releasing her dazzling debut album on crosstown rebels earlier this year. dynamic argentinian producer guti is known for his grooving, latin-inspired techno on labels such as desolat and supplement facts but this ep-s trip into more languid territory is a pure expression of the accomplished jazz pianist-s affinity for experimentation. through his intuitive operations, wolf + lamb and double standard label boss gadi mizrahi has given a home to a variety of deeper sounds filtered through an alternative vision for house music. -the way i feel ep- is double standard at its unadulterated, sensual best.

the boston based alternative rock band buffalo tom formed in 1986. the band around singer/ guitarist bill janovitz became one of the more popular alternative rock bands by the mid 1990s. the 1992 album let me come over was truly the great leap forward for the band, sounding richer, more imaginative, and more emotionally powerful than anything they d recorded before.

we are all very excited about presenting the new catalogue for apparel music limited. we decided to offer our fans an alternative point of view to complete our distribution package. kisk, this time with the help of gennaro mastrantonio, is developing a new concept designed for a bigger dance hall. whereas apparel music covers the daytime, warm-up and after-party side, apparel music limited represents the night in all its different shades. we have chosen francesco gemelli to set our experimental work in motion. francescos classic vocal house music takes us back in time, as if disco music never died and the 90s still had something to say.. the aggressive, uncompromising rhythm of spin my mind melts into the love sounds of she loves the 80s, as if travelling back in time were not enough, as if modern times were in the past and the past was hic et nunc, here and now. ughl revamps the visuals in a deep house version of she loves the 80s, turning it into a very up-to-date track, while gennaro gives spin my mind just the right trajectory for limited edition.

ok we can do a long text here... but lets not do that.... fantastic track by recast (aka fluxion)! a blissed-out track that is lush and jazzy! the experience of years of precision crafting dubby tech soundscapes is brought to these tracks, which are grooving house vibes executed in the melodic but quirky manner of isolee or luomo. lorca music is on remix duty here and did a great job with a clattering, skittering groove that is somewhere between 2-step and brokenbeat, the result is heavy and provides a nice alternative to the two recast versions. this is pure techno as we like it... not the banging big room techno, but techno we know from pioneers such as derrick may, carl craig, john beltran, stefan robber and the likes. no shit... this is just one of the most beautiful records we ve heard in a while.

argy & lee van dowski with a slamming 3 track ep from techhouse to techno

it would be very tough to dispute the phrases >good things come to those who wait< or >less is more< when talking about the impeccable standard of sebo ks productions over the years. looking back at the very first mobilee too hot, and other hit releases such as diva and spirits, as well as a collection of remixes on some of the most respected labels – he is given name in any serious house music collectors bag and now we have another wax to add! mr. duke is nothing short of a summer anthem…opening with a delicately constructed rhythm pattern that eventually makes way for beautiful synths that build and lift your hands in the air with them. it warms you up just as the sun does, re-appearing from behind a cloud and covering your body in its rays. summer and sebo k – the perfect combination.

dance to the radio have teamed up with their good friends brew records to bring you a very special and limited edition 10 inch ep.
with leeds currently at the forefront of the uk alternative rock scene, this release is further proof of why its the place to be. from the straight up power hardcore rock n roll from dolphins (ex this et al) to the expertly executed noise rock of blacklisters, the noise hop of castrovalva and the fantastically skewed, melodically-inventive hawk eyes (previously known as chickenhawk & their first release under the new name), this is not a release for everyone. those of a nervous disposition need not apply.

al kent was once described as scotlands walter gibbons, and on >fantasy< he pays tribute to his hero with an alternative take on a track walter made his own. with beautiful rhodes piano, sweet strings and heavenly jazz guitar, file under >lush<. flip over for some disco madness… >check out the sounds of nyc< may once have been a loft classic, but in this incarnation may have proved too much for that particular musical journey. tough as old boots. wrapping up we have >gimme some loving< – built around a cool piano hook and an instantly recognisable voice and featuring some proper hands in the air string sections. million dollar disco is loved by dimitri from paris, pat les stache, solid state, cosmic boogie, greg wilson, peter adarkwah, the dead rose music company, horse meat disco, nik weston, chris harris and many many more..

the danish duo darkness falls is a new alternative rock duo right from the centre of the emerging copenhagen music scene, a collaboration between josephine philip (vocals, keyboards) and ina lindgreen (guitar, bass). their sound is rooted in rock tradition, with elements of post punk, distant beats, and chanting, textured productions wrapped up with a great passion for classic 60s twang guitar sounds. a beautiful mixture of charming pop and melancholy, this is feel good music for 2011 and beyond. produced by trentemøller these 4 tracks are a spellbinding taste of things to come. the combination of trentemøllers glistening production and the unique, heartfelt music of darkness falls is sure to uplift and inspire.

originating from argentina, savor music is a multi-cultural project that aims at bringing out our favorite flavors in sound. the leading forces behind the project are cape and jorge savoretti, both natives of the city of rosario. savor music kicks off underlining the madrilenian connection, so dear to us. it is represented here by our great friend papol of the esperanza crew. developing his sound release after release, he allowed us to pick through his best tracks in order to inaugurate our 12 inch vinyl series. on the a side, first up is >before tea<, a strong driving bomb with a crossover appeal. on a2, ekkohaus delivers a surprising broken beat take of >dub 2010<.

impressive uk indy / alternative longplayer.

the truth: this one is for the indie lovers ? five tracks of homespun homegrown homemade shoe-scuffing heartbreakpop featuring a ruffled array of alternative special guest singers. gospel music, aka owen holmes, is the man at the eye of this particular humble hurricane. when he isnt emailing camera obscuras tracyanne campbell or darren hefner hayman he is playing bass with cheery floridian indiepop critters black kids. and when he isnt working on black kids somophore album he is laying down hobo-jumping leftfield nuggets when run the gamut from johnny cash to jonathan richman and beyond. but dont just take our word for it ? this is what gospel music has to say about himselfË

first on decks.de !! a two tracker of smashing minimal poetry.
a: daegon – subcon2 : shady minimal sounds turn into vivid dance floor intensity. a gently boosting track containing shivering bass lines and nifty rhythmic compositions.
b: daegon – subcon2 (octave remix) : french fellow octave turns the original to a full throttle dj tool, using cushioned basslines that create a massive dancefloor alternative.

in an era of heavy discotheque music played in dark cavernous spaces, light club offers a positive alternative with night bulbs. picture cruising down the highway in a 1985 volkswagon scirocco at 4am at a speed so fast that the passing lights blurrr into a sweeet neonesque glow. light club is that glow. almost like a ghost, a good one, not a scary one, perhaps the ghost of rick james... or nick nolte, wait, he is not dead yet. regardless >light club - night bulbs ep< is both a feeling and a moment caught on one spiffy myor 7 inch.

the third release of the new label >lets get lost< which was started by mule musiq and force of natures kza. this third release is by uk producer extrodinaire leo zeros remix of the uks florence & the machine. this leo zero remix was released on only cd single and itunes in 2009. when i received this remix from the agent of leo zero i fell in love with it immediately. it was one of the biggest tracks for me in the last year but was never released on vinyl. leo zero reconstructed the aesthetic alternative rock (like a pumping cocteau twins!?) to very emotional house music. its simply good music and not only for the dance floor. greg wilson has edited it into a semi instrumental version which has never been released on any format. this release is official bootleg for limited press! dont miss it!!

the next entry for the fof? label sees meadow taking the healm. meadows remix of previous release, >kheema<, takes the dubby-ness of the original to new heights and ratchets up the intensity with an undulating warming pad that laps over the senses whilst elements of the original tease in the back ground. >the cheese< takes the ep in an alternative direction, stepping over into dub step territory with oh so deep bass stabs underpinning the skankin percussion with traditional dub elements sparkling in the foreground. rounding of the ep is >6 steps<, a musically crafted slice of deep house for the afterparty complete with hazy melodies.

portugal based talented deep house producer johnwaynes. they have released at compost black and mule musiq. thats why deep house producer johnwayness new single is coming out on endless flight, because of their new moniker just john.
