another 4 track wonky hardtechno killer

jesse siminski is one of those musicians its impossible to ignore. whether producing as heartthrob or alter-alter ego vivianne projects his work is instinctive, insightful and driven by an irresistible force that instantly rubs off on the audience. its no surprise then that the first single to be lifted from heartthrobs eagerly awaited debut album >dear painter, paint me< is >signs<, a track that fully demonstrates the extent of his repertoire. one of the highlights of his not-to-miss live set, its also become a corner stone of richie hawtins dj sets over the last few months due to the massive crowd response it generates whenever it drops. billed as homage to classic detroit techno, theres a real air of expectancy about the mix friendly introduction. the powerful kick pattern, swirling sci-fi vocal efx and loose hi hat groove soon make way for the urgent, cavorting main melody that spins off into another dimension before a massive, resonating synthetic bass wipes out everything in its path. one of the main ideas running through the album is the juxtaposition and layering of different rhythms and time signatures and this really comes across on signs, with disco and caribbean inflections adding a cut and thrust to the chugging groove, creating the perfect foil to the sonic mayhem overhead. the b-side features apprentice – a tag heartthrob can safely leave behind with the release of >dear painter, paint me<. of course its another guaranteed floor filler with a finely honed acidic riff that immediately taps into the subconscious...

another fantastic progressive electro flavoured release from the soliquid guys!!!

thank you have played with the likes of beach house, dan deacon, daniel higgs, celebration, wzt hearts and ponytail. thank you is an athletic rhythm/action unit, made up of jeffrey mcgrath, michael bouyoucas and elke wardlaw. michael was a member of the baltimore band more dogs who released an album on monitor records. the members of thank you are longtime friends and musical collaborators, working hard to bring to life their wholly original compositions. musical ideas are introduced and have conversations with one another, each track filled with new articulation and insight. the basics of drums, organ, and guitar build the foundation, but are augmented by whistles, cowbell, hobo harmonica, snappy loops, car horns, and whatever else might be at hand. the album terrible two was engineered by j. robbins (yeasayer, mary timony, jets to brazil) in baltimore and was produced and mixed by chris coady (tv on the radio, yeah yeah yeahs, celebration) in new york city.

multi vitamins comes back with yet another various artists ep with a lot of cool groovin mini tech tracks !!

another fine release on winding road records! this is a debut ep from bleep district. true to their name, the 4 tracks here contain plenty of mesmerising bleeps sitting inside the slick deep house grooves youd expect from the label. the lead track, bleep of faith, is peaktime voodoo house with cool vocals, and a wicked bassline which comes as a special surprise half way through. robot claart is superdeep, hypnotic tech-house with a cheeky jamaican dub twist. when i saw you, possibly the strongest tune of the package, is a real killer. with polished production, reverse vocal licks and an ubercool bleepy bassline, this track is a contender to be a summer anthem of 2008. essential! the last track on the package, some may say, is an eccentric but irresistable hip-hop meets folk-house number. yet another winning package from winding road

not another promo text!?!? we find that all of the music produced by harry axt speaks volumes, therefore we simply (and happily!) offer you these two new tracks. it s worth mentioning that this is the last ep from harry axt before his album release in october on rompecabeza music. the whole summer he will indulge in a production break, so that he may doze in the sun, test every type of beer possible, demolish enormous amounts of grilled meat and danish ice cream, and then completely concentrate this replenished creativity on his debut album. then, while the sun fades away for another season, he will let the sunshine back into our ears…

early support finds favour with laurent garnier, claude von stroke, ralph lawson, mark knight and deep dish&#146,s sharam. it&#146,s been a while since we last heard from mike monday &#150, almost two years, to be exact when he delivered smorgasbord, which won numerous accolades and superlatives in the dance press. lauded as album of the month in i-dj, while dj mag called it a lp we just can&#146,t put down, others jump on board and claim it as a future classic. now signed to san francisco&#146,s om records label, the man who never fails to impress, educate and entertain is back. >the 11 11<&#146,(no, we&#146,re not sure what it means, either) is backed with the equally oddball titled &#145,>hello nest<. regardless, it&#146,s another terrific house offering that pairs dubbed-out beats with techno-tinged melodies to create a modern day jackin&#146,sound. the addition of a driving synth-line only helps this swing, shake&#145,n&#146,rattle in all the right places over a dirty-as-hell bassline. anything but what we&#146,ve come to usually expect from the label, the sund is an equally refreshing break from convention for om, and is taken from the upcoming album, songs without words&#146,by monday

guy robin & dj leo deliver another deep house gem from their raw house stable. r&b sampler house at is best

for flash lützenkirchen delivers three very classy dancefloor burners. first up there is >enter the moonlight<, an enchanting piece of thumping peak time business. a big bass, pumping beats and some great oriental sounds combined with far-out effects create a unique atmosphere. modern styles meet oldskool feelings! >on the shore< is even more oldskool than that. the fat and wobbly bassline pushes the track forward and creates the perfect antagonism to the warm effects and clicky minimal beats. the highlight - however - is the wonderfully written melodic piano piece that turns this track from wicked into wow! beautiful and tough, oldskool and fresh, slick and funky - all at the same time. this one is going to be huge. listen for yourself! at last there is >pokemon companion<, a more direct and solid piece of minimal tech. a drum’n bass like powerfully grumbling bass, and yet another memorable synthie pattern that seems to grow out of the buzzing loop like a spring flower out of wet grass - naturally and wonderful!

the french deep house master, franck roger, continues the string of outstanding releases on his earthrumental series with this double a sided bomb. dont leave me has a deep techy and soulful edge that fans of karizma, ferrer and chandler will undoubtedly fawn over. flashback, on the flip, is another rocking deep instrumental with hypnotic key grooves, trippy effects and that soulful edge that franck does so well. this tune is a must have.

mn2s prepare for another wmc anthem by presenting this collaboration with danism and true soul diva kathy brown. light up my life has classic written it all over, making full use of kathys soaring vocals this powerful performance is sure to make more than waves at this years wmc. kathy brown, one of house musics true divas, has worked with the cream of the house music crop. arguably her biggest hit in recent times was the international smash, strings of life (stronger on my own), produced by award winning production duo soul central. her powerful performance in light up my life ensures that the track will be hammered in the miami sun this year. whilst the original mix features those unmistakable danism beats and kathy browns beautiful voice the audiowhores dub presents pounding drums and is a much darker, main room mix. in contrast to this dj la roi delivers a much more garage inspired, sweeter take on the soulful classic. following up the success of commended releases such as truth is, mesmerise and most recently feelin you danism drop yet another scorcher on mn2s.

the polytechnics ep is the second release on df by silver city following the superb dubby ep from 2006. on the a side, the title track polytechnics has electrofunk vibes blending perfectly with new wave sensibilities. think greg wilson mixing up gary numan and you wont be far off. it rocks! and on the flip, nu disco don pete herbert (reverso 68/lsb) cuts up pendulo a heavily arrpegiated disco stormer and transforms it into yet another disco bomb. this was an edit that pete knocked together for his own dj sets and we loved it so much we just had to put it on the vinyl. last, but in no way least, is victoria jam which is a no nonsense heads down groover of a track that will get your dancefloors rocking. seriously good music. enjoy! plays by: ashley beedle, llorca, fabrice lig, electric press, reverso 68, munk, murray richardson, ajello, dubious...

a funky peak hour pair of goodies. doo kicks off the ep with its rubbery bassline, keys, jerky rhythm and sustained strings that provide the male chant, doo doo doo a comfortable bed to bounce on. the meat of the track contains a lengthy piano solo by antonio di mauro driving the point home. full of drops and fills that build the energy then releases it ferociously. anthem is exactly what the title suggests. it is another 2am jump off (musically that is!) jam. the deep bass & dense kick supports the 80s styled chicago jackin snares, the persistent hi hat and intermittent piano strikes meshing well with the watery bleep sounding keys and string stabs. the melody of the bass gets redirected as the twinkling keys create a sense of tension for the samba ish breakdown. nimble fingered, antonio di mauro is at work again, producing a sound reminiscent of patrick adams styled keyboards from his legendary phreek lp. ends cold. supported by: dj spen, deli g, roger sanchez, joey negro, dj pope, kenny carpenter, franck roger, dj yass, master kev, mark stone (udm show), groove assassin, sven love, davidson ospina, dj dealer, timmy vegas, dan (liquid people), deep josh, danny marquez.

hector moralez forms another formidable partnership with jump recordings dj jaz. coming from the west side offers 2 top notch original cuts and kicks off with a bang on a1. drive slow combines smooth female vocals with organic keys to create a deep twisted house groover. summer windy is a peak time affair that uses live sax loops and sleek beats and arrives just in time for the start of those hot summer months. hudd traxx label bosses slum science pick the pace up on the b side with a remix that would fit in well into sets of jocks like inland knights, dj heather, ralph lawson, chris carrier & dj raoul. the slumsters work out tough beats with clever stabs,...
