berlin-based belgian producers sierra sam & marcus vector present the debut release of d.i.y. (dumb irresponsible youth), their new house-oriented project. sierra sam (toysforboys, einmaleins, trapez) and marcus vector (toysforboys, nomor, playground) recently released their first joint effort for contexterrior. working together once again, this time around theyve put aside their usual dark techno inclinations, opting instead for uninhibited house led by analog percussion sounds. drumroll, please… >pimp my saw< is a frenzy layers and layers of toms, kicks, steeldrums and clicks. >screw it up< is a more melodic affair, with the classic build-up and tension that defines classic house material, plus a hint of latino finesse. on the flip, >hammer of love< closes things out with a shuffly balance between the organic and the artificial, with looming atmospheric ambience to set a darker tone. these three tracks are the perfect tools to use where the sun dont shine. (that would be the nightclub, you pervert!)

the invaderz soulful streak shines throughout this killer release. for all the people has become a staple of dance floors around the world with its anthemic intro which builds with its hypnotic vocal before dropping into a killer beat work out and serious bass line. this track stands out next to previous liquid v releases.

the biggest bassline tune around at the moment, this comes complete with a remix from one of the scenes hottest property, wittyboy. heavyweight support already in from shaun banger scott choice fms hotsteppa, ez on kiss & the 1 extra boys dj q & cameo. in fact, cameo describes it as one of the strongest tracks from past 3 months, and he should know this is laaarge!

perc trax returns with its 2nd in the pots & pans series, this time around with tracks from misc (sender / klang / resopal), simone tavazzi (analytictrail/perc trax) and oscar (karateklub / lordag). ruling over the a-side are german techno overlords misc, who when not recording for berlins sender imprint spend their time as niederflur for richie hawtins all conquering m_nus. >modern times< is build on rolling ercussion grooves, a jabbing bassline and a number of short but effective breaks.

db carries his own weight in this third installment of his db edits series, just dont ask him to take the load! wanna be a lawyer or just lay around all day? jealous of the fellas that want to go all the way? mr. cooper takes a stand on the flip as well, showing how much he loves you all

transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

part 1 of the compilation is a treat for any fan of house music as every track is a piece of unreleased joy from some of the most reliable names around. a must for fans of the label, a must for fans of any of the labels artists and a must for those who follow superb house music as either djs or punters.

in 2003 after a long period of militance in the illegal rave scene, mr. 3p and nrn (minimal rome) decided to make their own label. they noticed that it was a good moment to expand romes electro-techno scene. it was a simple enough story...they would choose tracks from their friends and publish them, then travel around europe to find shops and/or distribution interested in their stuff. consequently they claim they are mainly inspired by trucks, roads and travelling.acid basslines and hard 808s are the main ingredienst of their style. this means acid inspiration filtered by the latest innovations of technology. classic electro & techno with no messing around. from rome.

recorded live at buenos aires in 2007 after their surprisingly reunion for the grammy awards!! triple vinyl gatefold edition!!

david garcet, based in brussels, belgium has already releases on karton, pink slow motel, dirty dancing, biologique,... especially his track >emo< on karton003 was a really big hit around the globe and get support from a lot of jocks! now, its time for davids debut on kostbar musik. with his 2 tracks >hex< and >on dit que<, he continue this warm and melodic tech-house sound. both tracks are so emotional but also funky at once

4th album by the 4 guys from rouen, france.

bristol based bounce bounds forward another leap with two smashing remixes of their previous club destroyer f*ck off. featuring the inimitable stylings of mc foxy, this one was a surefire hit the first time around, and now a pair of weighty remixes offer up a fresh perspective on things.

scatter brain will please those who enjoyed steve recent lets have some fun record on sci + tec. stripped back, energetic techno that builds around chopped up beats and a twisting, tension filled lead hook

nice price deal !!! 2001 release from austia that roams around between electro, dub and garage.

todd bodine demonstrates with this ep once again extraordenary taste and skills. after a very successfull excursion on claude van strokes mothership label and his activities as a heavily booked live-act and dj he presents on >unexpected life-form< two brilliant tracks, that seem to burst with their energy. todd bodine apparently has gained a lot of experience how to bunch the impact on both the dancefloor and the musical side and how to turn the result into a wall of sound. and hes doing it by following his own unique style. on the a-side >calypso< captivates you right after a few seconds with its pulsating sequences and a subtle growing energy-level from break to break. developing a drive which wont miss its impact on any floor. >snakeskin< on the flip is homogeneously build around shimmering melody-sequences which create the energy of this track, while the bassline below pulsates warm and deep. sounds like: detroit without kitsch. or like a cross between matthew johnson, robert hood and fabrice lig. to put it in other words: a typical todd bodine release in the best sense. allready a true highlight in the highgradecatalogue in 20

all around the world dancefloors will be crying hugging and simply howling in disbelief when this beauty is dropped. tunes like this dont come along very often. you have been warned dmc update 5/5

darkos productions have attracted the attention of djs from all over the world. his remix of the title track of nina mirandas (smoke city) album shrift in 2005 was one example, earning him critical acclaim when the remix reached the top 10 in the us download charts. more recently mr rakas has joined darko and his strange worlds collective. together they have embarked on a musical mission, blending deep minimal house and techno with eastern european romani gypsy jazz. simplicity is the operative word best to describe this release. the over sexed sax solo of sexaphone (a one take wonder performed by ben hadwen) takes house music to a new level, whilst danote on the other hand reflects on the hypnotic repetition of the hook, building a solid groove around a repeating synth line, appearing here in two versions, the stripped back extended mix and the more immediate club edit. another great release from the up, coming and one to watch label universal vibes.

an extremely tasty 4 tracker from the massively talented par grindvik. the a1 is a real killer with its rising synths and sledgehammer drums whereas the a2 is a perfect contrast with its slow intense minimal groove. the b1 again is a real floor burner with its driving groove and clever synth edits halfway. the record closes with a superb more minimal interpretation yet agin. drumcode again proves it is still one of the most cutting edge imprints around... limited backstock available

adam beyer imprint. a stunning two tracker by agaric and steve logan. the a side is a fantastic chugging track with razor sharp production that just builds and builds with key elements like swirling vocals and synths and a funky bassline. the flip takes a much darker approach with its reverse bass line, synth pattern and super sharp hi hats. this is another fanatastic release from one of the hottest labels around at the moment

another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

the originators of the bear funk are introducing a new imprint for the hottest re edits around. the ambassadors call it diplomatic disco. on number 3, its rotterdams loud e again, culling three of his killer edits.

the original mix by duomek takes the form of their musical ideals: house, deep house and minimal. no doubt it aims to the most select dance floors. jon gurd is the one chosen to make the first remix, that for sure will make a lot of harm in the floors. talking about jon gurd is to talk about one of britain?s top class artist of the last years that djs all around the world, produces exquisite music, hold the label killawatt and runs his own program in ministry of sound radio. his productions are habitual in sets of artists like hernan cattaneo, james zabiela o carl cox. tech house of its best of purest kind. finally we find the vision of mintone through inigo ourezabals eye, the 50 percent of monomachine. this dj and producer from zaragoza has been recognized in this last two years as one of the best artist in the spanish music scene. paradigma, wit, leftroom o immigrant are some of the labels that have released his work. this time he bets for a very effective techno that will catch the ear of the lovers of this style.

supported by m-nus crew, onur ozer, marco carola, karotte, nick curly, anthony collins, x-pansul, matt star, sebastian roya, alexy delano, dave ellesmere… if the original ‘burning the midnight oil’ was already a blast in all minimal tech dance floors, the remix records arrives with a new twist to keep the discos moving. soulrack & mikel_e present a fresh groovy track full of voice lines that’ll go directly to a packed dance floor. seph moves around darker and more hypnotic territories with a continuous loop while fabrizio maurizi dives deep into old school, with some broken beats, distorted voices and numerous bleeps & clicks. a collection of hits that’ll make the night vibrate. long life martinez!

slap - one of the most obscure and forward thinking acts from the early 80s meets the spearhead of today’s electronic music, ricardo villalobos. the originals are disturbingly brilliant electronic excursions, while villalobos’ jazz-fueled rework is one of the deepest mixes he has ever done. vivid drums are built around a driving bassline, aiming the track right at the floor. not to mention the rough claps! imagine miles davis’ “bitches brew” joined by throbbing gristle, playing “minimal techno” live. earlier this year macro unearthed namlook’s long lost “subharmonic atoms” featuring outstanding pépé bradock remixes. this continuation of the “prototypes” series is none less of a dream team. slap’s experimentalism just seems to be the right inspiration for ricardo villalobos, who takes it to a level of weirdness only he can achieve while retaining such danceability. essential!

its not hard to tell that barems been kicking back and enjoying the summer, soaking up the sunshine vibes and pouring new found inspiration into these three new tracks. the result is a breath-taking departure from his previous releases that demonstrates an unexpected mastery of the classic house sound. the first surprise is that each track stretches out to around the nine-minute mark with barem adopting a more patient, relaxed approach to his arrangements. the resulting laidback grooves - loopy, organic and sexy in turn - effortlessly seduce the crowd, marking a definite evolution in his sound and adding a welcome new string to his bow

the mysterious syrinx came to us out of nowhere. his tracks sound as if he has been around for a long time, maybe he has. we were pleasantly surprised with the standard of his music. deep, melancholic and building dub techno, just as we like it. though keeping the tradition alive (model 500, chain reaction etc), he does add his own vibe to this genre. nice! this is volume one out of two. both releases will come in matching artwork...

responsible for this tartelet release is debutant mhm one aka morten halborg-møller. he s a local lad from copenhagen who has decided to give something back to the world of electronic music that he loves so much. before he decided to sit in the producer chair, he spend huge amounts of time on his copenhagen based kill your telly promotion. a promotion which has more than 5 succesful years on it s back and has featured a huge tally of big name bookings. said promotion at which he started out his djing career resulting in him being one of the most sought after djs in denmark. being the creative and gifted spirit that he is, music and clubbing is not the only thing that keep him occupied. he also expresses himself via visual artwork earning the fourth spot in the renowned graphic art collective that is bottega areté.... and oh yeah ...did we mention what a nice bloke he is? a1: the a side features a funky little groover that will fit well into a club where punters prefer to dance. the track is build around a playful bassline hook accompanied by a simple and catchy vocal (by who made who member tomas hoffding) a really sweet minimal workout for sure, that really does the trick. b1: on the flip side we get served a dish of bass heavy house. this time it s dutch house supremo melon who sorts out the remix treatment and turns bubububadub into a tribal ish affair. suited for big clubs? check. sexy? check. playable? very much so.

on the aptly titled baked goodies ep, berlin meets san francisco as iz returns with his first original release since 2005! you ll find all the movement and spacey funk of that classic joshua sound, with a whole lot of bleeps, blips and deep breakdowns to satisfy modern listeners around the globe. both mixes of lil muffin will get the floor rocking, while cookies is a little lighter on the late night/early morning tip.

gideon is very well known for promoting his anticlub- parties in his hometown eindhoven and around the netherlands. he released a hell of 12”es on his own label lessismorerecordings, but also releases on other labels like “rebecca loos” on weave music (under alexis tyrel) or just recently “all day all night“ on sino, hong kong. after his 2 pre-lauches on kanzleramt “first impression” (ka141) & “last depression” (ka143), heiko laux picked the tracks for this full length album out of 2000 demo-skits of gideon

after his album with black strobe released in 2007, arnaud rebotini comes back with a new ep and a 100 percent electronic live. arnaud hopes for entering in a new approach in which live is the beginning of the project&#146,s conception. the idea is to build a dancefloor set without using laptop or external sequencer but around emblematic machines (tr 909, tr 808, sh 101, juno 60, korg monopoly). this producer wants to let us share his studio experience in live. &#147,music components&#148, is an album of romantic and timeless techno where rebotini goes back to hot and groovy sounds of his first productions

after 3 succesfull releases, this label has slowly proven it self. stephane signore, the headhoncho of the label, has gathered a nice selection of artists around the label so far. wehbba, hertz, pedro delgardo, reaky and others. this 4th release is the next stephane signore single. on this release he has delivered 2 absolute monster tracks, and asked reaky and lars klein to deliver their remixes. lars klein brings his 2008 minimal inspired techno burner. clicks and bits with a techno attitude. reaky, one of the most succesfull new comers to this game, takes it into a completely other direction, a well funky tribal explosion with a subtle throbbing bassline vibe. proper, rolling techno for the masses!

muzik mix tape winner alison marks has come a long way, outlasting the magazine that initially brought her to prominence. john tejada is one of her many admirers and no doubt, this ep will win her many more. very cool headphone house that translates perfectly to the deeper floors around 3 a.m. as well as a great soundtrack to the all back to mine sessions- a deep and meaningful tech lesson.

class71 return to the constantly in-form four:twenty following the diamond door/seaphone 12 debut which won fans of just about every decent house dj around, and what a follow up it is! alba adriatica is a 13 minute excursion in to detroit flavoured house and is as subtle as it is memorable. a rounded bassline provides the movement while delicate, dubby fx create a hypnotic vibe which underpins a blissful live saxophone and rising keys. the summer is not over yet. always being attentive to djs needs, four:twenty have also included a dub for the saxo-phobes and if that wasnt enough, they bring in the legendary move d for further mixes. with a back catalogue which includes celebrated labels such as modern love, uzuri, city centre offices and liebe*detail, move d is the toast of underground house music and has delivered a vocal and dub mix of impeccable standards. utilising the fm bass and bringing the chords up in the mix, mr. d (as nobody calls him) creates a densely layed percussive dub mix which provides a perfect kickless track for creative djing while his vox mix adds both kick and some sparse but beautiful vocal touches. this is another winner from a label which continually searches out fresh talent and is more than worthy of your attention

its all about housemusic its a spiritual thing! this statement from a former classic house recording fits perfectly to yves murasca and his attitude towards housemusic. his entire life had been constantly spinning around that uplifting housegroove from 120 to 130 beats per minute. although the munich based dj and producer is standing right at the beginning of his musical career he is already looking back at a number of well noticed projects. besides far more than 20 remixes only in the last two years for top artists like bob sinclar, barbara tucker, milk & sugar, jean claude ades or lee cabrera he became also a recommended radio dj with his own casa nostra radio show and due to the increasing demand on his club dj skills also more and more international bookings are taking place in the meantime.
