10inch !!!! this is something special. 10 years after its very limited release (simply due to a low budget and limited sales expectations, not to try and make the record scarce), norm talleys the journey is picked up by a a few hip berlin djs, and a fire starts with the record being offered on ebay for over €100.00, because nobody can find a copy. even norm had to borrow a copy when he went to dj in berlin and the berlin party crowd had already asked him to confirm if he was bringing the record..no joke. so here is that tune, the journey, now re-mastered by stefan betke and cut by andreas@schnittstelle, and sounding very nice. on the flip is the unreleased in yo soul, chosen by third ear to complement the journey and complete a full on in your face piece of norm talley groove. and to round it off, its on a 10. cool and compact. just like norm, who is known in the dj circles of detroit as a secret weapon.. need your party fixing?... call norm talley. serge at clone kindly added a few words... nice re-issue of an obscure dj favorite produced by norm talley and previously released on the nouveau riche label from detroit. here you have two tracks that turn out to be great dj tracks when played out loud. the journey somehow got lost in obscurity. but luckily someone was clever enough to get it back out again, together with the previously unreleased in yo soul, and here they are... 10 inches of pleasure! pure detroit house music as we like it

after 9 successful years and 36 releases on their label >festplatten<, the teichmann brothers are already unleashing their third release, transistor vamp, on their new artist label teichtracks. true to the motto of the tt-series this offspring of analogue machinery is also designated for the dancefloor. the title track is a 12 minute trip, an unstoppable modulating organism from the deepest depths that subtly and powerfully creeps forth. you smell the greasy oil of detroit, you inhale the dusty air of berlin and when you open your eyes, the next day has already begunà here, the past is just as present as the present. deja-vu? or did transistor vamp already infect you during one of the brothers many live sets? those who turn the record over will find, alongside a condensed 7 minute edit of the title track, another independent micro organism. micro is a game of rhythm and bass, reduced to the very essence of groove. a poker face of a track whose accumulative tension spans 6 minutes. like a balloon filled to bursting it knows how to stretch its limits and, without badding an eyelid, it waits for the explosion. minimal? of course! but here you can still hear the groan of the mixer and effects!

repress of this scott ferguson classic. dump days is a wild hypnotic and uptempo detroit deephouse groover. free all political prisoners and a track for aleksandra are more laidback but they groove equally...

nice price deal !!! hailing from melboune, australia, clubfeet are a three piece live band and production team whose vocal driven pop electronica has astounded listeners. their album gold on gold has drawn comparisons to hot chip, teenagers and junior boys but their comic lyrics and tear duct springing melodies bring much more than that. plant music is proud to present the first single from the album with remixes by electro synth wonder boy kap10kurt (of dangerseekers fame), ny/berlin indie dancers the glass and new york producer/remixer and blog hero eli escobar.

if there s one lesson we have learned from 2008, it s that techno is not nearly creepy enough. on creep ep, germany s kevin over injects pitch-black dread into the heart of his distinct brand of techno. steamrolling bass-lines, droplets of toxic rain, and ghostly sirens all coalesce into swinging, propulsive grooves that stretch into a never-ending night. mr. over demonstrates his knack for creating arrangements that are both melodious and spacious, crafting an almost seven minutes ride through some of the most banging and infectious techno tracks to date, not to mention some dubby business on surge that would leave lee perry envious. at its most compelling, creep ep paints a picture of a raging warehouse party at the edge of your wildest dreams. including killer remixes by pascal vert and john lagora

demarkus lewis teams up with singer demetrius price to present the truly deep and soulful truth featuring gorgeous synth melodies, wicked keys and heartfelt vocals by demetrius price. the main pass is a deeper than deep affair built around a thumpin groove, while the deez ugt mix is on a groovier tip. remixes are courtesy of harley & muscle who add their distinct deep and laidback touch to the track, while from p60 (aka zoltan nagy) delivers a deep hypnotic soultech reworking.

royal bangs are from knoxville. that in itself is a statement: theres not much that comes from knoxville, tennessees third largest city, and even less that gets away. quentin tarantino made it out, but the last citys mayor was allegedly so desperate to escape he now works as the us ambassador in poland. cormac mccarthy moved there as a child, of course, but by the time he d written his second book he was long gone. only johnny knoxville advertises his geographical roots, and quite clearly hes a glutton for punishment. so while just one of royal bangs currently has a passport, that doesnt mean they dont know that royal bangs is their ticket out of town.

nice price deal !!! 3lp album (long versions!) with collaborations from the likes of soulwax, jesper dahlback, gonzales, jori hulkonnen, jake shears and james murphy, its a riot. these are the times, and these are the rhymes !æi feel i have become exactly what leonard cohen would be if he owned a jetski with a detachable sidecar æ

after the inclusion of crushed by actress on the most recent prime numbers ep, we return with three tracks from one of our favourite contemporary producers. ghosts have a heaven is a heavily stripped down, minimally constructed piece built on a heavyweight kick drum whilst given movement and accentuated by filtered synth washes and sub bass which change subtly throughout the track. side 2 is taken by two tracks from the actress debut full length release on his own werk discs. hazyville is a twisted piece of electro funk expertly compressed and crackling with static energy. superb locking & popping lace the track sounding something like the avant gardism of subway theme from the wild style o.s.t pushed confidently into 2009. ext up redit 124 provides a deep clipped jackin groove with a glitchy feel. the beats are worked & moulded along with fizzing synths and jerky keys to produce a quality hybrid of sounds with its own idiosyncratic style firmly in place.

john talabot is a youngster from barcelona with a rather special way of approaching music. borrowing his schools name for his alias and the most diverse samples for his music, he produces expansive and iconoclastic housey tracks. his influences range from flamenco to northern soul, from african music to traditional asian songs and he s inspiration sources go from the profound and sensual house of moodyman and labels such as sound signature or kdj to disco music, chicago house, pop or techno, whatever he likes. sounds like a bass kick and a sampler, he says us in his myspace, no less. this young producer and tireless musical tracker has the ability not just to find the appropriate samples but also to conjugate them wisely. in a great exercise of sonic inventiveness, guitars, strings and keyboards are combined in his tracks with rhythms and vocals with african reminiscences, to give us his own vision of house music, original and personal, but yet very effective. cliche allergic, songs like naomi, korlee or afrika sound cosmic and tremendously emotional without losing sight of the dance floor (thats what we call fat beats). his tracks are organic, human, full of life, the kind of music that keeps not only your foot moving but also your heart tingling.

supported by dubfire, kombinat100, dan curtin, shinedoe, ed 2000, benno blome, dubnitzky and many more... slowly but constantly days are getting longer again and clothes become shorter and shorter. green is sprouting on the acres around and acker records delivers the perfect soundtrack for the euphoric hormone cocktail of the first warm days in spring: endlich frühling means nothing else but finally spring and that is exactly what its all about: the title song comes with plenty of cosy but pushing boost in its lower sections , above that some driving percussion and dreamy , playful melodies unfold. subtle string entries underline the very positive flow of this track. on the flipside rundfunk 3000 take up the idea of the original and add a proper pinch of melodica sounds. the result presents much more song character and is perfectly appropriate for late afternoon dance floors as well as a stimulating breakfast on the balcony. finally the track rabulka features a pretty different style: very driving bass sounds, various rhythmic elements and dubby melodies evolve an astonishing deepness. this is for the spring time!

after recently releasing astonishing records on vakant & kalk pets, dewalta is hitting now even more dynamic and powerful the springtime floors. back on his motherlabel with great & unusual music and we dare to say that it is our favorite release of him so farà >saluki< starts straight with a crafty bass driven smooth rocket and build its self up alongside a guiding piano loop to reach very atmospheric frictions. soft choir singing here and there, various dub sounds brushing in the space, bringing all sound aficionados into a beautiful ride. dewaltas crispy rhythms are eventually fading out into melancholic and moving detroitish strings, to complete this unique piece of music. >shagya< on the flipside is a self-developing carnevalesque odyssey. its such a profound & delicious kickdrum, tightened with an extraordinary bass presence, its simply irresistible not to groove happily on that one. all is enriched with polyphonic balafon rhythms and hilarious african rooted chants - this is the energetic tool for those special intimate moments. a perfect track when lust and familiarity is present within the crowd and we consider time as officially end.

logistic is proud to welcome the long active techno producers from uk : lee renacre and james chapman aka 100hz. they are responsible of some great house/techno records back in early 90s mainly released on optimism records and on their own label format records. 100hz has a rich musical universe with strong influences from the early american techno scene. production made out of analogic elements gives a strong atmosphere to their music. the harlot ep on logistic is about techno music at its best! liquid 101 (b side) is the analogue heaven, a deep space adventure, incredibly groovy loops reminds us some of robert hood...

although jaxson and keno both have successful solo projects and have previously worked together before, this collaboration is bound to be their most notable release yet. a fusion of house, funk, latin and techno, all meet at the crossroads of their studios for a 4 track ep of sundry beats and fresh flavors. clearly the a-side, >tout le temps< is comprised of a clever hook and a hazy latino vocal sample, which carries the initial groove right into an originally played synth section. a good example of a refreshing approach to adding effects and using sounds. >tarantella< as the title might suggest, one might expect a track that would scare the living day lights out of you, but it has more of a >creeping up from behind you< sort of vibe. a subtlety creeping groove subliminally enters your unconscious mind carrying a secret message. what is that message you ask? dance! the congas on, >red baron< sound so live you can almost here the players licking their fingers. congas might be the groove in the heart of this tune, but the melody of the slick synth stabs and rising strings are what ultimately breath energy and spunk into this roller. >karate kid< initially has a minimal feel, but once the hacked up guitar and vocals come in, you can put those dirty thoughts to rest. abundant with an overwhelming amount of unique and interesting sounds, secure this tunes ability to prick up the ears of finicky djs and clubbers alike. it is rare to find such a wide variation of sound design on your run of the mill ep, but kindisch has proved they are not an ordinary label. they are consistently releasing quality tunes and always providing pleasant surprises. some might say it is a clichÚ, but this ep really does have a bit of something that will drive one club or another nuts

after a longer gap than intended, part two of the cage & aviary remix series lands with a bang. truck are an enigma of a band, only forming when the astral alignments deem it appropriate - the next is due in 2012. cage & aviary take the brilliant vocal into proto/acid house territory with a killer bassline ready to move any dancefloor. crude vocal cut ups add to the 80s remix feel, while guitar licks, god pads, and all manner of prophet warblings come and go in a patchwork of angled sounds. sinister strings cut through at the mid way point before the superb outro vocal takes you home. for the dub, ape into jam & leo zero put their heads together and push the track into more of a dancefloor place, employing arpeggiators to keep the cut and paste elements rolling along. leo is a man of many excellent edits, productions, and remixes - watch out for an exciting new vocal project coming from him soon

markantonio s analytic trail label has been instrumental in creating what is now recognized as the neapolitan techno sound. strongly influenced by their house roots, the labels inventive approach has seen them feature the likes of rino cerrone, valentino kanzyani, the advent, davide squillace and paco osuna. analytic trails its what i like series of ep s has previously featured cuts from a mixture of household names (joy kitikonti, the advent,valentino kanzyani) as well as unearthing some of techno s most exciting new talent. this latest ep focuses on three new names who are making waves with their music. already an emerging name within the naples scene thanks to his work for labels like glowbox and capsula, francesco gemelli typifies the sound of italy with a driving goodtime romp through an array of rubbery tonal synths and acidic bass croatian, vladimir acic has forged a strong reputation playing alongside the techno greats at exit and impressing umek enough to snap up his productions. here he shows why with a fast paced trip through warped flickering tech moods mark morris completes the trio on show on this ep. choosing a style that sits between funked up tech and wobbly minimalism, play with me retains a strong identity with italian techno via a funky bassline but adds a linear restrained vibe.

solid proper banging techno, end your search. this is what you are waiting for all this time. crowdpleasing techno for all who like it rough and slightly dark but still with enough energy to keep you up and dancing all night. no drugs needed, just move on the music and go on and on and on and on...

fergie s offshoot label - rekluse is back after a short break with a new release from joint label owner - mr henry von. the track itself is a belting siren laden killer that builds brilliantly to devastating effect. on the a side there are also a couple of useful air raid sirens thrown in for club use. on the flip side there is a brilliant remix from loco and jam that superbly utilises the original parts. the second track to finish - graceland is also highly effective.
