this new escort is an amazing balance of 80s disco funk and techy electro for 2007. already seeing dj support from ewan pearson to trevor jackson to metro area. with a remix from the rapture gracing the full length b-side this one is the sure shot. the original come off like the bastard chile of prince and teena marie conceived at a swingers party hosted by rick james. the rapture deliver an epic minimal electro mix that starts off way in the depths and ends up being remniscent of >plastic dreams< with hypnotic piano chords. both sides of this 12inch are so different yet so slammin

and so we have, >irst_te?< the word is bay area fillmore slang for >thirsty?< worthy saw it painted on a fence somewhere and made a track about it. this could be a breakout year for worthy who has already had multiple plays on radio one of his >whistler< remix and >that funkin noise< from his digital label, katabatic. >irst_te?< is bouncy and fun and it sounds kind of like it was inspired by the band in the original star wars with the alien clarinet players and the blue elephant on keys. claude vonstroke takes it darker and more techno, with an epic sounding build that could fit into almost any set

big with todd terje, munk, danny wang , after his releases on players paradise and dirt crew, the young italian dj marcello giordani shares with us his love for the boogie/funk/italo disco once again! two tracks on this >cosmic communications< e.p.: >bronx dogs< is an 83s flavoured house/boogie track with a moog bassline and fm synth sounds in a metro area mood. >alice< is a deep italo track with an intense arpeggio and live drums, inspired by the cosmic sound of the early 80s - the real underground movement at that time in italy. a timeless piece of cosmic sound!

essential compilation! already played by sven väth, karotte, laurent garnier, jimpster,…. >grand cru< is a term used in the wine business and normally denominates a special wine, which is made from the best grapes of both one wine-producing area and one vintage. the stylistic diversities featured on this compilation arent less refined and versatile. at the same time this compilation boasts of a representative selection of artists who already released on connaisseur as well as up-andcoming new members of our artist pool. this selection is the beginning of a periodical series which will be released on a yearly basis. apart from afrilounge coming along with an elegantly lowered house groove, another artist who has already released on connaisseur, surely jochen trappe will be setting the benchmark with his glitch-rock-tech track. there are more familiar faces to be encountered – for example daso teaming up with his ingenious partner pawas. they both make even the most lame couch potato taste their own very special beaujolais and freak out on the dancefloor - blood , sweat and tears!

incl hearthrob (minus) and jorge savoretti (esperanza) remixes. played by magda and troy pierce !! the first eklo release comes from lauhaus and hes not a new name in the scene. wellknown under his project polder with his friend david labeij on intacto records, and remote area, on which he just released an ep with boris werner. he is also co-founder of traffic and mono events..

house music at its best ! the a side start with the real floorfiller >keep on keepin on<! after a deep intro, this track get huge with its hypnotic synth. and the a2 track >catch the worm< continues in the house vein, but with a nu disco touch. a perfect link between all ny city producers, from mr v and masters at work to metro area ! the b1 >remembering mr k alexi shelby< sounds like a perfect tribute to all chicago masters. and with the b2 >spaghettidisco<, the cave bear cult get back to the 80s with a warm italo track. an ep for the like of pete herberts and reverso 68, metro area, lindstrom and prins thomas, mr v, louie vega, osunlade, house, italo, nu disco, chicago and ny house!

till von sein and area are back with two nice deep and funky techhouse tunes !! incl superb john tejada remix

when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

after his first solo ep on kling klong arnaud rebotini continue to expore out of the black strobe area on goodlife !! here s his tribute to the techno detroit godfathers .the wood is dedicated to early jeff mills and robert hood tracks with some weird >doepfler< hypnotic bass line and on top a tweeky sequence for a maximum impact on the dancefloor! on the other side leviathan it s more influenced by america minimalist as steve reich or terry riley and will give to the clubs a groovy melancholic vibe

after 3 releases on od records and one more recently on initial+, heko is back in force with a four tracker transcending into the depths of electro-fried synths with solid grooves and italo bassliners. a1, primavera: an electro house tune with a touch of metro area will really take control of the audience. a2, voyager: more catchy, this tune is a pure dancefloor killer with its powerfull bassline & dark synths. b1, energy 3000: a definitly disco beat and vibe for moroder fans, electro toms scattered all over the mix with furious high pop-synth. b2, mrs butterfly: dedicated for cosmic old-timers, this butterfly brings you into a magic trip through its funky bass, afro beats & full of love rodhes. definitly the release of maturity, this fatal dance music weapon finds its place in all dj s bag

dirty, experimental and abstract electro tunes !!

on the way, joey negros mood house piece echoed shades of the jungle wonz from the late 80s with its retro chicago house vibes and a rolling marshall jefferson style bassline. the original player 1 cut is already a rare underground classic with props from the likes of chicken lips, giles peterson, jimpster etc magik j adds a metro area/booka shade vibe to this dope bass heavy electro jam giving dance floor appeal for both deep and minimal heads

the track loud minority is dedicated to alex dallas loud minority residency in zurichs great club dachkantine, which closed down and was a home for great guests such as carl craig, pepe bradock, juan atkins, metro area, herbert and maurice fulton to name just a few. they all inspired us to create music which incorporates all our beloved music and combine different style elements to a fresh and maybe even a typical zurich sounding way. with dessert you can fade away and feel the ability of foster to take you into his simple but at the same time very sophisticated form of musical expression. kanona does what the title suggests. all tracks are flavoured with a great detroit feeling there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it.

marcus hartmann from berlin takes us on a trip deep into his micro melodic techhousing area. two tracks to lift up everybody at anytime

the return of keynote records! after the great last releases of joris voorn (keynote 011) and arne weinberg (010), its time for a new talent from rotterdam. mark du mosch delivers some sweet tracks between metro area and dan curtin. a stange but sweet mixture between techno and italo.. nice tasty tracks for sure. next releases are already lined up from this guy...so keep an ear open when you hear his name!

"aaltopiiri is an album filled with alluring, ambient frequencies and hypnotic rhythms. tracks like kone and kierto stutter and groove, while elsewhere aanipaa and liuos provide lush, addictive pulses. they are often asked what the track & album titles actually mean when translated into english, but as they often invent or combine finnish words the "definitions" become quite vague. for example, a legendary maybe mythological low creeping mist from a particular area of finland or, a variant technological term for a certain aspect of a early radio wave experiments."

the debut album from guitarist and bay area jazz community member daniel mandrychenko.

lucy and rrose, now coming together as the lotus eaters, have established themselves separately as techno artists who are just as comfortable operating in the uncharted area of experimental music. running their own labels (stroboscopic artefacts and eaux, respectively), they have gained a cult following, both influencing and challenging the direction of techno.

special nice price - luke vibert has made many great records over the years, but few are quite as well crafted as his 2004 debut album under the now familiar kerrier district alias. inspired by a mixture of metro area, black devil disco club, cheap synthesizers, early new jersey garage, italian house and, of course, classic disco, it remains a touchstone in the development of nu-disco. this timely reissue features freshly re-mastered versions of all ten tracks from the original album, plus the six tracks which made up 2006 s kerrier district 2 12inch. these include the loved-up, late 80s loveliness of ce porte, the 808 cowbell and vocoder laden disco nasty, and a typically eccentric ceephax remix of sho u rite.

extraordinary pieces of music have long stood in direct correlation to the physical surroundings that inspire them. when oliver koletzki and niko schwind packed up their berlin studios last april to spend a month locked away in a cottage nestled in the stunning nature of cape towns noordhoek area before heading to afrikaburn, little did they know that its long beaches, dramatic mountain views and the heritage of its indigenous people would have such a profound effect on the club-ready sound they had championed with a string of eps and live-performances since 2015. the result of four weeks of geo-cultural stimuli and creative experimentation culminated in the album noordhoek, released in may 2018 on stil vor talent. while the productions on noordhoek display the same on-point sound design of previous oliver koletzki and niko schwind releases, the impressive emotional depth and electronic floor-focus of its twelve tracks effortlessly merge with complex rhythmic textures to form a contemporary narrative on ancient dance rituals. after a roller coaster ride through twelve versatile yet coherent productions, one thing is certain as the ultimate crack of thunder crashes down on noordhoek: south africa fuelled the creative energy of two remarkable musicians, who where able to translate the abundance of their impressions into a truly original world of sound.

to those familiar with the output of cologne-based imprint firm from back in the early Ô00s, the name of geiger, alias nass, shall undoubtedly ring a bell. herald of an hedonistic melange of funk- soaked electro pop and guitar-riddled synth music, sitting somewhere close to acts like ween and junior boys, alexander geiger is about to break a eight-year hiatus with the drop of his debut album under the newly-founded moniker of fahrland. a release that both encompasses a healthy dose of the discoid tropes from the firm era but also aspires to split with a segment of it, geared towards exploring further undisclosed fringes of his shape-shifting sound universe, Ômixtape vol.1Õ is the fruit of a decisive move from the sleepless berlin to the peaceful countryside landscapes of fahrland Ð a lushly forested area near potsdam which youÕll have understood played an essential role in geigerÕs longed-for return.

we are back in the hauptstadt (berlin capital) with the fifth installment of the * stil vor talent berlin* compilation series, which brings forth a group of old and new faces, who exclusively contributed unreleased tracks, gathered under the umbrella of one of berlins most iconic spots. frankfurter tor is the gateway to one of our favourite districts: good old friedrichshain. loud, left and a little dirty, it houses some of the cityÕs best clubs, markets and musicians, oliver koletzki included. its two towers stand as metaphorical guards to an area that has plenty to offer and asks for little in return, instantly making it feel like home. as always, music is the common denominator and oliver koletzki delivers the perfect soundtrack with this new release, while chrisse kunst renders the visuals.
