the seventh release on dva records comes from a young, unknown resident of manchester named gugu. staying true to the dva style, his two tracks are fine examples of todays hybrid funky house scene, maintaing the 4 to the floor drum patterns whilst drawing on a wide range influencesà and as it suggests in the epÆs title, is packed full of cuban flava. straight up music designed to make people dance. it wouldnÆt be right to get a dva release without a feature from the man himself, rinse fmÆs grimey breakfast show host mr scratcha dva. as a slight deviation from the norm û and in a way a return to the styles his earlier production û dva lays down a heavyweight slice of synth laden half step, defiantely one to pull your dirty face too. check it out and get back to us with your thoughts.
the subdivision return home to paradise lost with the open your eyes ep: epic vibes, hypnotic bass work, and complex programming manifest themselves as what might be considered their best work to date, and surely a production which defines their unique style for building cinematic tracks of epic proportions. the structure is trademark tsd: a beautifully drawn-out breakdown compliments the progressively building tension, leading to a thunderous climax toward the end. this tune is more of a journey than simply a dj tool (although its a treat to mix with), and djs such as bunzer0, djunya, 501 and claw have used it to devastating effect in the mix.
the exceptional quality of these two pieces of music, combined with obvious dance floor appeal and a coincidentally similar theme made this pairing a logical choice. one side is a hybrid hip hop-dubstep monster put together by los angeles based producer bare. the flip is a drum & bass stomper created by accomplished british producer and long time basshead family member dj silver. both songs are a proven commodity for any bass dj and are causing ruckus on dance floors around the globe.
two exclusive new medieval recordings from alasdair roberts and friends, >joy to the person of my love< and >false astronomy<. 7 inch single in wraparound sleeve, limited to 500 copies.
three artists contribute to this exciting new splitsound! the veteran tony matt (also known as gummish) producer for over 15 years delivers two tracks full of groove: >alcatraz< and >chrome<. on this last one puts the hands the german martin woerner that creates a remix for cool dancefloors. on the b side instead find the young monque, that offers its own hit (been played last year by ellen allien, richie hawtin, rino cerrone, carola pisaturo, seth troxler, xpansul) in 2010 version.
we dont need to tell you that rolando is a figure synonymous with the roots of techno. regularly djing in berghain, his unique brand of techno and heavy electronic funk has continued to evolve naturally into the sound youll here today. on rolandos first 12inch for ostgut, we find two diverse tracks each shedding light on the different poles of his current sonic focus. ben klock featured both >de cago< and >junie< on his >berghain 04< mix, and now we can enjoy the full tracks in their own right. the proud heritage of >de cago< is clear from the outset, yet rolando works crisp modern drums and edgy acidic synths into the mix, resulting in a potent concoction of jacking, edgy technofunk. unapologetically raw and gritty - and all the better for it - is >junie<. introducing a different production methodology, this multi-layered half-tempo exploration into eerie harmonics and slow building passages is the latest incarnation of rolandos emotional and instinctive melody writing
the second release of till krüger contains two epic tracks. >the green< a classic dance floor track in the tradition of detroit techno yet fresh in the unique till krüger style. >last track< is composed as a typical last track on the floor - moody, melancholic and very long. cocoon recordings licensed till krügers first ep >wrong shirt< for sven väths compilation >sound of the eleventh season<, released in november 2010. we are excited to see, what will happen to his new tracks!
the 27th release on rotary cocktail rec. sees contributions from leipzig and dresden. the original >somebody to love< from mod.civil kicks things off, proper rough and intense jacking house that is completed by the heavy heavy analogue bassdrum and his crazy voice. on side b you will find an excellent raw retro chicago house remix by jacob korn
scary looking new 12 inch on amsterdams dekmantel imprint. 3 deep and insightful new jj&j tracks with a top notch remix from ra.h (morphine)! including poster in the plastic sleeve, limited to 500 copies.
aaah lovely dovely, its that time of year again, the city is covered in snow, chestnuts are a roastin and wee little elves are working away busily pressing the annual home sweet home compilation for your listening and dancing pleasure. yep, its nearly that time of year again, the famed hsh new years rave at the arena/treptow in berlin is just around ye corner. yay! this year we have invited some dj and producer friends from berlin that are playing at the party to contribute to the compilation too! the lovely frenchmen shonky who has played at a few of our shindigs since moving to berlin and is known for his funky techno style has even named his track on a1 >madame moustache<, how very sweet ! snapping at his heels on b2 is our good friend from way up north (maybe he knows santa) and also a berlin resident agaric with his kicking track >after it all< which we are very pleased about. the flipside features some of our homies jens bond and tigerskin with a furious track on b1 followed by nico stojan our little bar 25 flirt with a nice melodic house track on a2 to round things off nicely.
with his debut release on highgrade, >never end<, artist and producer andri has already proven his sense for captivating rhythms and driving beats. it is no accident that the swiss producer spent his childhood swinging the drumsticks and is now bringing his enthusiasm for those beats to the dancefloor. andri is known well beyond the borders of his native switzerland for his energetic and sweaty live performances, which always include new tracks for the floor. with his live sets he aims to encourage more than just wiggling movement – he tries to incite the party freak, to inspire a >technoid mind state< where people want to dance like crazy, all night long! as he says himself: >the people on the dancefloor should be able to experience the story of my sets and completely forget themselves.< but andri is not attempting to be a hyper intellectual sound director, and while his sets and tracks are carefully composed, they also retain a sense of humour. this is the case with his new highgrade release: >up lantis<. the three tracks - >up lantis<, >come to me< and >mr. groove< skillfully play with original samples, crackling beats and sexy basslines. they develop a very unique field of tension, punctuated with a lot of fun filled andri trademarks: this is the dictation of groove
the latest from thesongsays brings back one of our main players - bruno pronsato. whats he been up to you might ask? aside from completing his album lovers do, working on music with thomas melchior and daze maxim and putting out records as pubic lover with our leading lady ninca leece, not much… maybe hes been in the rafters sipping coffee or understudying for bigger roles. who knows. nonetheless he’s back. these two new tracks come from his upcoming lp, lovers do. its a single, sort of. but not really. because when has bruno ever done a single like we know a single? this 12-inch is about as far as you could get from club fodder. rather, its a pair of subtle grooves to soundtrack you cutting carrots, sipping whiskey, or dancing at some intimate afterhours spot

nice price deal !!! no doubt looking for somewhere with a bit of political stability and a brighter economic future, 24 year old polish producer jan dudzik aka sekta recently joined many of his compatriots by leaving london and farking off back to his native warsaw. luckily, he left us a bottle of the finest vodka to remember him by, and a four track ep of stepping rhythms, fat bass and dubby atmospherics to help wash it down.
selected advent deal - 7th sign is proud to announce a very special release. formerly of the g-strings label out of chicago (first heard in 1990), this is truly a classic rarity that now takes pride of place in the 7th sign catalogue. this newly re-mastered issue features all the original tracks, including the classic title cut with its haunting strings and kraftwerk-esque mechanical groove. all the tracks have a very deep minimal arrangement and production and each stands up against todays modern backdrop. this is a real gem and a great time capsule of chicago house from back in the day. this release offers a rare opportunity to own a rare record that has assumed classic status and price.

being one part of the dj team kassette boys, ferri borbás aka superlover is widely known as m_ferri. he was raised in berlin and after the wall came down he got musically influenced enormously by the then arising techno culture of the mid 1990ies. his early productions have always mirrored the influences of the rough, industrial and dark sounding techno sound which was brought to berlin by artist like jeff mills, laurent garnier or joey beltram. simple, radical sounding and functional: tracks like his >tanzgenerator< or >open the watergate< had shaped these asthetics into a trademark sound. his latest superlover project is slightly shifting his musical coordinates : instead of a reduced and purely funtional >m_ferri sound< his new project presents a rather emotional and energetic mix of warm sounding rhodes pianos and string synthesizers. the three tracks of the e.p. combine those sounds earworm-like to catchy melody riffs and being the metamorphosis of a new disco influenced, poppy superlover sound
some of you outhere has might already heard from the two young talented guys from london named home park. sam fussell and rob glassett with their next record after releases for labels like bliq, consisting of two older tunes on the a side (incl. what a day) and two new tunes on the b side.

after his rather menacing vision called >worlds end< (hometrainer/acid pauli 12inch, dec 2010) acid pauli pulls another two typical tricky tracks out of his musical drawer. but, to confuse right from the scratch, he gave them polarizing names such as >like it< and >dont like it<. has he possibly planted something on us?
new collaboration with bobby&kleins giom and la derek dunbar. title track is peak time disco funk all out jam that has a perfect vocal hook and serious funk. gioms remix takes a deep turn adding synth stabs and pads. dereks remix is driving force with beat cuts. last cut is downtempo gem.

flapjack records prodigal son wattie green returns with a devastatingly surly stomper of an ep entitled the >bottle of justice ep<. this marks wattie greens third vinyl release on flapjack records and certainly shines above the rest of his big swill releases. it is great to get drunk with an old friend again, so sit back and throw this sip of whiskey on the decks and enjoy some true southern comfort.

bjorn torske is a special artist with a special name. he was born in northern norway where fishing has been the main industry for hundreds of years and his name literally translates as >bear cod<. even making dinner is unique in norway: you put the potatoes on to boil, go out to sea and catch a fish, then return to prepare the meal…this process is known as >kokning<. to say that northern norwegians do things their own way would be putting it lightly … to say that bjorn torske is making music his own way would be exactly right.
the forever-progressive luke slater has plucked a special release from the ether that will impress and intrigue followers of motes approach to underground techno. shrouded in anonymity, shifteds release is fuelled by a personal passion for techno
upfront final copies only at decks.de !!! friendship and the love of good music is what brought mike machine and sirion records together for this special ep. mike machine has quite a wide-ranging horizon of musical experience - from member of a band, student of music & media, video & audio artist, label member, promoter/organizer to dj in clubs. mike has the curiosity and the urge to create in any area of musical creativity and transfers this in exciting and thrilling ways each time anew in his productions. designed multi-variantly, based on an original rhythm and fashioned with individually created elements joker immerses the listener into a world full of energetic surprises. the repetitive, flowing foundation most definitely guarantees a gripping experience in mikes machine. david labeij chose not to play a joker when we met recently and luckily the remix resulted in a quite atypical style thanks to the quite euphoric surrounding. we most surely like it!
tearing through the streets again with wicked track after wicked track! pounding grooves dont stop! this heavy low end bomber is sprinkled with static dust which grunges it up nicely. then comes along valvestat who gives us a new taste of uk-style tech, mixxing heavy kicks and technical percussions with subtle black strings of death! huge! kataconda is back at it, this time treating us to a frenzy of static attacks. his droned out version of pounding grooves original leaves no room for improvement. finally, dijjs edit adds a funky bounce to the equation with cut-up alien vox and the skullsplitter! dont miss this one! asrx005 cannot be stopped!
