after a short hiatus, kelvin andrews world famous stable for his own and likeminded producers (like mark e & mark seven) secret dj weapons is back to the fray with a truly timeless compilation of balearic belters. lovingly compiled by kelvin himself and the infamous balearic mike (creator of the sublime cosmic alphonsus series and head of the fascinating rhythms record label - remember last years >reckoner< rework which sold out in 2 days ?) this is a very limited sampler 12 from the cd compilation (which will be available very soon exclusively to all ears - more info to follow) all the tracks are licensed and 100% legit, so the guys wanted to release a 12 inch treat featuring two of the more floor friendly numbers, knocked into seriously good shape by danny mekanik (one half of soul mekanik with older brother kelvin!). already a hot topic on the blogs and likely to be the cd soundtrack of the summer, this is a superbly curated collection, and a killer sampler.

to celebrate the birthday we are releasing a series of five singles, available on 10 inch vinyls (1-5). the series will be followed by the huge 10 years clr compilation with a special collectors artwork. it has been mixed and edited by chris liebing and all the 10 tracks, which appear on the singles and later on the compilation are exclusive and specifically produced for this purpose. chris liebing and green velvet teamed up for the first time pretty much by accident. dustin zahn actually became some kind of obstetrician when he started this mash-up. alex bau is known as one of the long time clr artists and obviously had to contribute a track to the series. both tracks are road tested and guarantee serious damage on the dancefloors!

big with nick holder (dnh), someone else, afrilounge, funkwerkstatt, italo boyz, andré kronert. to sound the bell for the slowly but constantly sprouting spring also in a musical respect, the crew from acker called for support from the mediterranean sceneries of italy: the two operators of the lula circus have already pricked up the ears of lovers of flamboyant tech house tunes with their recent releases on resopal. matching the season, they are now back to send up the temperatures on dance floors again.

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.

back together once again, the production powerhouse that is lake & lys return to rising music for another piece of peak time, dancefloor madness. humanica picks up where la tromba left off, a huge track featuring a harmonica played by dirty vegas steve smith, backed up by driving synths, heavy percussive drums and the trademark sawtooth lake bass line. sloane, on the other hand, is a classic old skool groover, chords stabs reminiscent of classic house records push the track, while vintage drum machines are perfectly juxtaposed next to modern pad sounds, all combining to send the dancefloor in to old skool ecstasy.

generation einzelkind … formation rosarot blind … schau der himmel ist blau … du kannst mehr sein als tv.
sascha is a real analog fanatic. after his debut ep on inclusion records he is back with a very special tune. great grooves and atmospheric melodies can be expected. to complete the release mister marc depulse (blufin, ostwind, kiddaz) has done a remix with a huge buildup for real dancefloor mayhem.

the pizeta duo is the meeting between ale zeta (aka zeta funk) and alex pini. from their different ideas and their experiences was born their first track called >klezmer feat. reagadelica (kailash rec)<. this track was the first of a genre called now gipsy sound. from that moment many world producer has created tracks with this kind of sounds inside. >klezmer< is one of the most played tracks all over the world from 2 years. after that success they enjoyed working together and their are still trying, with the new tracks, to make more people know their music.

mutant clan is the mysterious alter-ego of long serving electronic music veterans timo maas and santos. after a small handful of heavyweight eps on labels like connaisseur and sci + tec, its time for this undoubtedly talented duo to unleash their next batch of weapons on figure spc. the considerably epic we are fuses classic elements of tweaking acid, bright jacking drums and an extended, open-ended arrangement that floats atop a choir of celestial rave angels…! built for cavernous techno meccas, or up-close and personal basement sweat-boxes alike. in comparison the deephouse tones of i feel the sense retain the excellent production values that we ve come to expect from this pair, and take a trip down a dubbed and shuffling melodious path. uplifting, summery and full of clever, climbing effects its a lighter , yet by no means lesser, trip!

second part of the much talked-about universal consciousness series. on one side, stephen brown, the artist responsible for some of the best releases on derrick mays transmat label, makes his 2010 comeback with an uncompromising and stunningly beautiful piece of detroit techno. on the flipside, club lonely, a these days in-house production moniker for jam sessions that happened in the labels studio between friends, presents a tribute to n.y club shelter. the track focuses on a bassline driven groove in timmy regisford fashion while on the b2 the vocals are muted for those who would like to use the track as a tool. space techno meets n.y dancers. universal consciousness

story continues its immaculate run of bottom-heavy deephouse with 4 special treats from this british underground figure that make an earthquake like introduction to the scene with 3 anonymous 12inches only that are already sought after and destined to become collectors items. an acid house veteran that followed the whole uk rave progression to harder techno, he harks back to his early influences with his productions by building his dense, jacking slo-mo house grooves around hip-hop and soul samples. cuts like >the rub< or >dh13< and take their time to slowly sneak-up on you casting a bigger and bigger shadow until you are totally immersed in the smoky, dub-filled atmosphere that has a similar feel to the psychedelic soul of motowns norman whitfild or the rzas mystic hip-hop soundscapes. >whobadu< trades for 4/4 pattern for a looser, handclapping 80s funk groove that should cross-over into the box of every more discerned hip-hop dj, while >olufeme< is a stripped down, fela style afro groover with mighty dubbed-out horn loops. four tracks that will keep all you dancers, booty shakers and headnodders happy for a long time

after the critically acclaimed album >where you go i go to<, and the >2< album with prins thomas, lindstrøm now returns again, this time with vocalist christabelle (also known to lindstrøm followers as solale). this 12 inch single is the second taster of the new 10 track album >real life is no cool< that will be released in january 2010. this 12inch contains 2 remixes of the album track baby can t stop by the much talked about prins thomas, and uk legends idjut boys. support: berlin mitte institut / fresh: nice disco sounds, will play. thanks for this !, sammy dee (perlon): like the perc edit!!!, tobi neumann (cocoon): wow, what a big tune!! this is a production, witch we are missing soo much in the current electronic stereotype ableton produced music. sounds fantastic and grooves like hell! will be for sure one of my big ney-tunes for tomorrow. full support! thanks for the music.. tobi

encer kincy was giant in chicagos house music revival - part of the second wave of younger djs and producers that took the music of the early 1980s, rubbed it up and dropped it in places like 500 west cermak, medusa’s and the vault. a lot of people who are now superstars of the scene - mark farina, sneak, derrick carter, and dozens of others - were a part of that movement, too. spencer released a number of tracks on relief, planet e, cajual, peace frog - labels representing the classics of that era - and he usually recorded under the name gemini. as a dj, he operated in his own space - i’m sure he could play for a room, and sometimes did, but the unrestrained madness of a spencer kincy dj set had to be heard over several hours to appreciate. he could blend a sleazy disco track into hard acid, downtempo into a punishing armani track, jazz into detroit techno and so on. it wasn’t technically brilliant or tricky, but the selection was exquisite. a number of figures from his era still list him as an influence. his productions, viewed as a whole, are so much like his sets: going softer than many dared to go, and going much harder than just about any dared to go. simple jack tracks! respected by the standards of the industry of the time, and you certainly couldn’t go anywhere in chicago without hearing derrick, sneak, mark, lego, gene, jevon, diz, johnny or the other djs beating them. and so many of them have a timelessness - a little piece of eternity stuck like some bit of wax between the grooves

return to form (take that, haters!) hits at the body repeatedly, slamming away with a lack of abandon and a new sense of protocol. major stars are known for being psychedelic rock journeymen (and journey lovin women), but of late, their rocks psych roots seem to be dyed platinum white, with a truckers cap shoved on top of the whole mess. its jukebox ready hard rock with a hallucinogenic edge, sure ? or perhaps its just the impact of their triple guitar git down, causing your head to throb with concussive force? dont worry, long time star children ? these guys still jam, but they ve got short numbers too, and wailing, roadhouse vocals sailing over the punch ups. a terrific variety, but a return to form? pffft! what form? these guys have been in plasma state forever! whatever form it takes, thats what it is. and major stars are presently shining on in white dwarf style ? compacted, but with a violent gleam.

yore starts the new year off on the good foot with a four-tracker from the dutch duo morning factory thats remarkably accomplished for a first release. expertly manning the controls are two gentlemen from the netherlands, jean-pierre van der leeuw and jozef lemmens, who clearly produce a high-octane electronic body music thats timeless and fresh.

starting the year off with this cracking deep ep by our new guys on dirt crew, the runners ! after their extremely succesfull first 12 inch in the beginning of last year which featured the stunning jay shepheard remix they are ready to deliver the next dose of classic house grooves that range from deep house to the more techy edges of electronic dance music. the four originals on this ep alone stand out and keep dirt crew recordings headed towards the future of true deepnes. but as we are real purveyors of soulfull rolling beats we had to add once more one of our favourite producers in the scene to do a remix, this time its our friend from barcelona soul minority who has gained great respect with his cool deep house records over the past years, especially his latest releases on pack up and dance were amongst our most played tracks last year. so here you have it! a great start and there is more coolnes to follow this year! stay tuned and stay deep!

here we roll after a long pause back to musik krause. toting three nuggets brought to you with care which are somewhere between gentle hardcore with a weakness for the horns, and a warm coolness that finds its place without the chocolate cake. whoever thinks that what i am doing here is again on a peppermint accordion ditty got it twisted. dark, complex and almost avant gard-ish hearty.
