tony ollivierra begins 2011 by getting down with the machine sound. bordering on acid-funk, this ep really gets it shakin. the title track jericho, reeks of the latter days of disco with a deep bass line that fades in and takes control of the party. a warm synth chord then kicks in along with some strings which build up to a peak time climax. nag champa captures a deep and surreal groove with a sweet aromatic feel that definitely is burning. the dark bass line entangles the listener in a sensual moment while a resonant synth riff tops it off. on the flip, midi aura begins with an uncompromising synth bass line that does not quit. the sequence bubbles onward and a thick chord sweeps through the arrangement opening up into a placid apex of harmony. the aura of this midi is feel good all the way. lastly jack box, another acid track that works the cutoff and resonance into a climax of delightful poly rhythm and melody. jericho will be a very limited vinyl press and will be the final project on the ibex music label. keep your ears open for his next label venture which will be introduced this summer.

danish duo laid back made a most surprising comeback to the clubs in 2010 with >cocaine cool<. not that they had ever been really forgotten: their electro pop classic >white horse< remained a sure shot in clubs for the thirty years after its release 30 years back and a constant inspiration to boatload of diverse artists from techno to hip-hop. >cocaine cool< was recorded at the same session but the ironic vocals ridiculing label executives blowing up their frail ego with the chemical substance were deemed to risquee at that time, so the recording collected dust in some box until last year. bostons >soul clap< another duo hailed as one of the hotest things in clubland known for their eclectic funk-rooted taste. they opt for a cool sparser arrangement leaving out the “white horse -like chords. a loose, dry electro funk beat, hpynotic one-note synth, few dub effects and additional vocoder vocals do the trick bravorously. besides an instrumental version theres also a harder jacking dub take sounding like early chicago house edits. and while the boys are add it they also re-edited another huge one from laid back: >baker man< that managed the unlikely balancing act of not only hitting it bigtime in the charts but also in the emerging balearic scene. this 12 inch is cool in every which way!

after the brilliant work with tigerlily on the digitaline track >say so<, gregorythme teamed up again with the lovely singer and created another epic masterpiece. >no time no space< has the potencial to become one of this years big anthems, with tigerlilys great voice, the catchy melody and the unbelievable synthline staying in your head for a long time! kalabrese and lee jones both kept the epic feeling of the original. kalabrese added his unique funk and kind of a caribic touch to it. imagine a lonely beach with nothing else to do as watching the stars out there. lee reworked tigerlilys voice, combined it with a massive bass and takes it a step darker into the night, made for dancefloors and big soundsystems!

al kent continues his quest to bring his definition of disco to the ears of the world with another killer three tracker. >be my baby< is an uptempo disco monster – dope bassline, rhodes and wah guitar with nice loud hihats for full dancefloor appeal. >sun shine down on me< is a dark, sweaty, latin disco beauty soaked in strings, horns and rhodes piano. think that says it all. >time is moving< picks up where a1 left off, with the addition of strings and occasional vocals to wrap things up. 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..

manmade is back again with another collection of floor filling club bangers. this time with busta, one of the uprising beat kings from down under, timothy wisdom & the funk hunters, out of canada, with another shining example for unbelievable mashup work, and the well known funky breakbeat builder jayl funk from bavaria. as you expect cmc&silenta did it again with something for the ladies on the dance floor. check out the dynamite side! two versions on here, couldnt decide which one is better, both are killer tunes in different ways.

two tracks that spit in the face of all those harmless, flat and cheesy >we want to be played by everybody< productions and its of course alex who takes the risk. supersonic flattens down everything with an incredible bassy basis which even almost sucks the bassdrum. classic techno and a sure shot on every technoset. centerangle on the flip is kind of slowed down and much more adventurious compared to supersonic. the breaks and the startup after them are causing riots in alexs sets right now the crispy, powerful production of this tune is nothing else as another example of alex trademark: techno in its basic sense!

majestys pleasure volume 1 has finally arrived and for many months these secrets weapons have been burning up and hypnotizing the dance floors of the worlds more discreet discotheques. this is the first in a series of limited releases from majestys pleasure with a very special introduction from the labels ambassador strom vandenburg who after a rather jubilant and successful career as the netherlands number porn star has now decided to turn attention towards another passion of his lustful disco reworks. these productions are strictly for lovers of early prototype techno, twisted cosmic excursions, back street boogie and new jersey garage which will leave all the bedroom bloggers out there with a confused inquisitive look upon their faces

welcome reissue of this super-rare 1978 disco classic from greek singing superstar demis roussos. the extended mix of l.o.v.e. got a hold of me featured on this highly-collectable canadian 12 inch pressing from mercury was a massive favourite of david mancusos at his legendary loft parties and understandably so. a tight percussive groove topped with beautiful swirling strings and the big mans soaring sexy vocals, this special long version provides ten minutes of blissful dubbed-out disco heaven which still rocks dancefloors today for any dj lucky enough to have a copy. the flip is also rather good, with i just live, a very useful funky workout with another positive message that includes some fantastic percussion and great harmonica action. top class!

we want miles is now available on 180 gram double vinyl after almost thirty years! on the heels of releasing miles bitches brew live album, music on vinyl is also releasing another miles davis album that has been on their wish list for quite some time.

the winter saga continues… this being the second release on art of vengeance, aril takes yet another turn in style, or rather back to the sound of the winter ep that was released on kompakt in 2007. the title track is is a journy in melodies built in layers, trying to fit as much melodies in one track without going over the line. maybe it is over the line? tundra is a bit more on the rough side but with arps and chords coming in and out while glacär/for minou strips things down a bit to a more bassier and warmer sound with string/chords, less melodies and more groove

london based label sect salute spains techno history with their tenth release, represented by highly respected techno producer and dj victor martinez. psychedelia-tinged tracks are the order of the day here as victor steps up the pace and sets the standard. >the infiltrator<, chapters 1 & 2 are both moody and mysterious slices of voodoo magic from martinez and firmly nod to the dark hours of techno. flip to the b, and >lessons on emptiness< is just as menacing, with weird samples and indecipherable vocals flying throughout. >motor zerox< leans to a slightly lighter atmosphere with rumbling percussion sections and a hook melody. another killer 12inch from sect records

another pure remix 12 inch on falkplatz. mild pitchs dplay and irishman mano le tough took over the studio this time to create their interpretations of >i wont stop<, the track by subbroomassociation that was originally released on the >collabs volume one ep< on falkplatz_daten002. dplay concentrates on the vocals and distinctive hat patterns, building a warm, pushing and dark floorfiller around the original theme. mano le tough delivers a stand-out remix, in a slightly different mode to his past productions on dirt crew or mirau. here he pushes into the deeper layers of emotive housemusic. listen loud and have fun with this!

disco tweaker extraordinaire nicholas makes his debut on 4lux with another big set of tracks thats bound to fly off the shelves. the italian producer has been in prolific form last year, leading the latin edit charge with on the excellent no more hits imprint, and here we see a host of new tracks. all night long is an old school 90s piano house nugget that also gets the remix touch by 4lux head honcho gerd: early 90s house influenced vibes that result in guaranteed dancefloor mayhem. the flip contains the disco banger all i need and the slow paced house cut stay together. big tip!

after a few years releasing singles under different monikers, brooklyn producer lou teti launches his own label, tigers on a leash, with the debut >get away< as a certain way to kick things off right. the original is an almost hypnotic electro-builder with an 80s touch, yet with a sound thats still firmly planted in 2011. even though tetis vocals are used more like another instrument than as a center piece, sneaking in and out against the guitars and synths, it s still the kind of memorable vocal line that you will find ringing in your head as you wake up. drop out orchestras club cut is a just that, a cut to get any club moving. in true doo style, they take a great original and create something special, but completely different. jkrivs deep&disco mix takes deep to a new low, with a breakdown thats truly epic. and finally theres mario basanovs remix. a beautiful deep house groover like only mario can supply.

release number two from the kat45 label brings another set of fine bluesy soft rock edits from garden festival resident ole smokey.

coefficient is an english artist with so much experience now, thanks to releases on labrynth and beyond. in this record he shows 2 original tracks and a remix of his strong friend michaelangelo. he shows his skill in creating the techno cleanly, hypnotic and with no compromise.its a journey straight on his way. you can hear a lot of the influences of detroit (see robert hood and jeff mills), but his style is certainly unique. the remix of michaelangelo completes all the release with an even more dark and hypnotic style - but mostly clean. welcome to another trip high quality signed mrec ltd!

adam shelton & subb-an have single handedly made birmingham cool over the last few years with their infamous below gigs at the rainbow. >feel so real< reflects the duos work at its height. it is a classic sounding house record with familiar vocal hooks, warm chords and throbbing drums. it stands out from the crowd in much the same way fcls >lets go< did last year. is it old or is it new? old school sensibilities brought right up to date with cutting edge production skills. so it was with this thought in mind that we approached new 2020 signings fcl to remix. they have added their own vocals and developed the hook into a synth heavy workout. the pack comes complete with another track >inside my head< which features a line many will remember from nights spent at warehouse raves, one for the spotters.

number three in the dc reworks series drops with another three top class retakes on the music of the disco legend.
first up is the sleazy boogie-funk of >do you want the real thing< which is given the shakedown by underground hipsters richard sen & cazbee. over on the flip, portuguese man-of-the-moment social disco club deals out some heavily, uplifting discotheque vibes on >dancing with strangers<, while one of the leading players in the ny new school, jacques renault, works >i dont want to lose you< into a dance floor bomb. a superb addition to an already celebrated series of updated classics!

new leng act mountaineer bring us their debut 12 inch for the label as a precursor to their album. the remix treatment here is coming from two great teams! on side-a we have the idjut boys giving us yet another genre defying direction with a sumptuously dubby take on golden chalk. this one keeps on building from a delicate strummed intro, with delayed vocals, the track slowly draws you into a deep sea of sub bass and guttural wobbles. the idjuts deft hands once again delivering a lesson in subtlety and arguably one their finest works to date. on side-b tuff city kids rework the always coming home in a wholly different way, fat 80s dub bass, hefty hand-claps and linn drum fills underpin some soaring atmospheric synth work. with the vocals dropped, this is the side for the deep-end of the club, as tcks gerd jansen well knows. a must have 12 inch!

klute delivers yet another killer for his commercial suicide imprint. for the a side >this is why< ill skillz team up with s.p.y a sumptuous glory hole of a tune. flip over for >moonrocker<, a sublime shocker of brutish beats and deftly delicate bassery from our favourite viennese cock rockers. dkay & rawfull do it again.

no time to take a breather, no time for a contemplative chill session - the second edition of bpitch control s werkschau (showcase) cd is about to hit the shelves! in line with the overall bpitch showcase concept, the new release is in no way just another run-of-the-mill compilation of best-of tracks, but rather a selection of extraordinary and highly functional club gems that represent bpitch s harmonious concept as perfectly as they demonstrate its musical breadth. the most noticeable characteristics the three extended versions share are their vocal presence and the extremely distinctive way that the artists make use of language and voice. in contrast, the fact that the ep is perfectly arranged for the dance floor comes across as almost a matter of course, and every track exhibits this inherent feeling in equal parts - with it truly coming to life in cormacs >the present<, which opens the albums a-side.

the next release on claap is a joint venture between two label favourites. on side a, nikola galas >oasy< and >paradise (tool)< are two very tightly structured affairs! perfectly produced and oh so functional, they are another strong proof of the reasons for which nikola has been making waves in the scene for more than a decade. the overall feel in both tracks follows the same path along nikolas previous work on rekids and ibadan records, amongst others, along with releases on his own label escada music. we are also very glad to welcome a long time favourite john dimas. hailing from the beautiful city of thessaloniki in greece, john is a young and aspiring dj and producer who has been working with labels such as d julzs exciting bass culture. john has been steadily making a strong impression with his colourful, solid and passionate dj performances! >get it< is a very groovy, playful and smart track. reminiscent of older chicago house with a fresh touch. to round up the package, label head gummihz offers a disco orientated >get down mix...

appearances is the fourth release for neurhythmics recordings, and here juergen takes matters a step further with the main track >appearance 1<. african chants meet almost psychedelic disco with a layered string that lures you into the break. the whole track flips half-way through and intensifies to yet another level..be ready to be surprised… on the b-side, appearances 2 and 3 are equally influenced by the african theme running through this ep, with vocal chants weaving in and out of his almost trademark crafted mpc-beats

andreas gehm returns to the mathematics imprint for another round of sick cuts. this is voodoo opens with an eerie basement banger that is followed by all soul day, a deeper journey into his production. the return of ra kicks up the dark acid while the title track ends the ep with more tech.

limited edition orange vinyl promos. the first solo 12 inch for samurai music by rising kiwi star dose. co-writer of one of the labels biggest ever selling releases (the other part of me with trei), the recent uk migrant comes with what we feel is his best work to date. >reason being< defines the term roller, and with its euphoric middle section mixes the ruffness of its driving rhythm with the silky smoothness of its melodic overcoat. >helpless< is another tech funk masterpiece from dose which has been competing strongly for a side status since we signed this 12 inch. dj support from klute, teebee, spectrasoul, marky, break, logistics, phace, state of mind and many more. watch for the forthcoming dose full length album in late 2011 on samurai music.

taken from trentemøllers new full-length album, ‚into the great wide yonder, a stunning achievement in modern production and cinematic songwriting, >shades of marble< has been reworked by the man himself, along rising artists kink and kasper bjørke. trentemøllers dramatic, edgy and daring remix of his own string drenched opus is nothing short of breathtaking. leaning towards dancefloors with an appreciation for epic qualities, this expertly constructed re-think will surely be heard well into the festival season. the inimitable man from sofia, kink rises to the challenge of remixing shades of marble and does so heroically. the pleasing result is a tough, chicago meets berlin jack-jam that leads to tripped out and freaky moments in the break, until his trademark drum machines do the rest! finally another bright star of the danish scene, kasper bjørke, has his say with his deeper and more low slung remix that leads the listening into satisfying late night realms. full of funk and melancholy, this is a welcome treat for fans of bjørkes characteristic productions.

syndrome picks up the pace again with another fat slab of rolling tech business. krone is the one taking the stand and starts off with a steamrolling roller made together with >malsum< we are not alone is one to keep your eyes on. like ghost train you can hear it coming in from miles away rattling along the tracks with the cries of all its zombie passengers inside.dont let this one get you as youll lose your brain.for babylon 21 krone trucks along solo style.. things turn a bit lighter but are all about the groove. like back in the old days before all the sounds got processed to death.. this one keeps it subtle groovy and funky all at the same time!
