after setting 2007 alight with his award winning debut solo album a mind of its own karizma returns with the highly anticipated sequel: a mind of its own version 2.0 the upgrade! karizma continues to defy categorization as he moves between his customarily ferocious club bangers through downtempo burners, atmospheric soundtracks and even smoothed out soul with featured vocalists monique bingham, fruity and djinji brown on rap duty. karizmas trademark fusion of raw electronic grooves transcend through the house, broken, dubstep and so called funky house scenes, his raw style influencing beatmakers across the genres. karizma has been putting in the work in 2008 tearing up dancefloors the world over from on a mind of its own v2.0 the upgrade karizma has raised the bar once again as he continues to find new ways to rock clubs, cars and headphones worldwide.

quite a unique ep, very atmospheric. lots of styles here, starting out with ambience, breaks and ragga/dubstep, becoming more melodic and gentle but ending up funky, moody & minimal, exploring resonant frequencies and harmonics.

after only two releases on 7even recordings f has already made huge waves on the scene with his unique sculpted approach to dubstep and techno.
now he is back with a cut which offers a glimpse at a different side to his productions, dub techno styled a-side >epilogue< comes correct, displaying what is clearly a long time love and appreciation of this music. clean production and atmospheric textures create the backdrop for a distant beat which drills into the psyche, making for a deep 4/4 journey trawling through the late night in a smoky haze.
on the b-side, ramadanman weighs in with a rework which absolutely slays. you could call it garage, you could call it dub-tech, but this track is so fresh, we re sure it ll have the funky house heads on their hands and knees as much as the dubstep crowd, dark as hell too - a total crossover. shit is tight, yo!
already supported by mary anne hobbs and rob booth amongst others, this release also featured in the 7even mix for the experimental show on bbc radio one in january 2009.

after releasing his first lp on ai records in 2008 we proudly welcome datassette on echoecho. let s just say that this is the outcome of an interference of majestic strings, amazing basslines and deeply compounded beats. besides rocking the dancefloor mr davies definitely knows how to draw attention with his craft.these thrilling compositions reach from the hymnic ôthe aviatrixö to the laidback and atmospheric ômicroö and back to the superior and bassheavy ôhumansö before ending with the melancholic piece of ôweather conditionsö. datassette conveys a large variety of influences which create his absolutely outstanding deep sound. in other words he manages to merge the atmosphere of then and the vision of now to transfer the sound onto his own bright level.

a highly percussive, pounding and gnarly yet deep and hugely atmospheric house grind from lisbons finest. a weirdly syncopated vocal loop arrives halfway through and turns this into some kind of warped exercise in dyslexic hip-house. extremely big for the big rooms, and still very large indeed for the smaller ones

along with number 60 in the highgrade catalogue there‘s a new producer team, joining the highgrade posse: markus schatz who scored so far with releases together with tom clark for highgrade and by himself on labels like opossum and freizeitglauben. he worked out this release with brett longman from paris, known from one of france‘s most prolific labels logistic rec. with „dope on plastic“ both start a dub and percussion rollercoaster- ride: the stripped down structure in the beginning unfolds seamlessly to a wildly grooving dub-inferno. similarly funky „push it“ continues this direction: dodgy fm-sounds meet weird synth bleeps plus a whole load of rhythm - the trackname is to be taken literally here! on the flip-side schatz & longman in „running“ are adding some fine dubby ingredients to there rhythm patterns, next exit detroit, one might say. moody without being cheesy, that‘s how we like it. „good vibes“ is zigzagging elegantly, with deep pulsating melodies worked together with an uplifting groove to a fast-paced and atmospheric track.

amplified orchestra provide more unhinged disco party on one ep than most dj s pack in one hour! this awesome new amplified release is part house, part disco with a hint of cosmic spaciness. arpeggio is a long and deep galactic trip with atmospheric strings, dope synths and spaced-out effects. an analogue bubblebath of sounds combined with a pumping disco beat and static bassline. the fighter is an excellent mid-tempo disco work-out. killer percussion with banging beats, grooving bassline and enchanting vocals provide for an hypnotic dancefloor nugget. rumble is a robotic an quirky electronic cosmic dancefloor stormer. amplified orchestra have been around releasing the dopest sounds since 2002. their releases on their own label, amplified, gained support from disco and house lovers all over the world. not a lot is known about who is behind the amplified orchestra moniker, although there is a chicago address stamped on the vinyl. but where the music comes from is irrelevant when it s good

strong minimal tech tracks! includes an atmospheric, dubby bip soup remix!

this hot new e.p. for dessous introduces two new artists to its roster, in the form of well known and highly respected producer & dj ripperton, who runs the successful perspectiv label, alongside co-owner and recording artist sam k. this mixed and exciting release is headed off by the deeply spaced and simply hypnotic ‚eze‘, a straight collaboration between ripperton and sam k. its bouncing, deep techno pump underpins the track and keeps the pressure constant, while a wonderful phasing synth motif is explored and unfurled as the journey continues. beautiful atmospheric modern dance music! next sam k takes the reigns alone as he introduces the slower, fantastic world of ‚desperate housetrack‘. the title might be a clue to where the melody takes its inspiration, but this tough little groover has more than one surprise up its sleeve, showing off sam‘s love for slow burning, thoroughly explored arrangements. ‚slipstream‘ is ripperton‘s own unique solo voyage through contemporary acid house. its a stripped, low-riding jam that harks back messages from days of old but still had that fresh 21st century sound going on. a great dj tool and indeed a bold statement about the merits of keeping it deep!

baum005 are no other than marko fürstenberg of a.r.t.less/rotary- cocktail/ornaments and thinner fame. on the b side the artist sgi_s joins with a remix. what can you say, but espenhain on the a side is a dancefloor filler. a tight compressed, kick and marko s atmospheric touch of dubby techno. the espenhain remix on the b side, is shaped by swiss artist sgi_s. this track is more of a pure techno track with a old school feeling to it. appegiator groove with a break that builds up to a peak point, but still manages to be deep. ratsholz is the last track on the ep, a soundscape of hiss and noises that forms the hypnotic groove of the track. it starts slowly but it evolves into a sure late night track with a nice melody!

swoosh was without doubt a major underground hit in 2008 with top10 positions in all sales and dj charts. the best possible base for phunklarique & pierce to team up again this year with a massive followup named womba to continue their journey on yellow tail. plays by gorge. harada, plstik funk, ... again, it s kind of a split ep, with two totally different versions of the same idea - creating atmospheric grooves with each their unique style that has individually brought them support from all over the globe. phunklarique concentrates more on the minimal side of electronics with deep bass, a sick leadline and stabs that continuously build up in a very hypnotic way, while pierce gives it a slick, but modern housy groove with sirenlike horn sounds. we have been testing these out on the floor for quite a few weeks with amazing results, so check it out and see what it does for yourself

tom dazing is an upcoming artist from brussels who has released on mb selektions, heimatmelodie, coincidence, veryverywrongindeed and toysforboys already and with his new ep >black magic< releases his debut on trapez. tom has a powerful production technique and a cool old school appeal which he fuses with modern sound design. his new release features >divulge< and >cable strap< two peak time techno trax with a heavy 303 bassline that will rock all big floors. >divulge< the a-side is destined to be a berghain hit. the track is a monster. its attitude is down to earth... keeps it simple but effective. >cable strap< on the flipside is a new modern version of music that we believe used to be the post chicago sound manifested by robert armani and friends. >cable strap< is a super cool heavy rocker with a siren sound that will turn clubs upside down, joined by delicate use of 303 basslines. >temper< the digital bonus track has more of an atmospheric deep feeling to it! tom has been voted in belgium in the top 10 chart of the best national producers in 2007 and 2008 and was voted into the to chart top 10 national live acts

atmospheric floating electro by the man also known as convextion.

already supported and played by djulz, mathias kaden, brothers vibe, tadeo, falko brocksieper... rosario is back to esperanza with our beloved franco cinelli. evolving on every single release, franco makes a strong comeback after his warehouse ep. the a side >green & blue<, that also names the ep, shows us his style in full effect with grooooovy percussive hints, analog touches, old school flavour and lot of sunrays. on the flipside, damian schwartz reworks the track turning it into a trippy detroit house affair perfect for every real >party lover< (yeah, for the ones who stay until late). >blue before sunrise< is the track for late night, sunset, sunrise, afterparty, warmup, etc. versatile, isnt it? but such a beautiful relaxed atmospheric song should be part of any classy session. enjoy the beats! its limited to vinyl and just 500 copies!.

big with: loco dice, luciano, sis, reboot... on this seventh release, 1 more collaboration with great greek producers: kreon & lemos. a side hands up is the result of this collaboration, a raw funky track with darkishn and heavy vocal & with big synth rise... 1 beat, 1 groove ... as simple as this!on b1 , ny is an atmospheric odyssey, that make you feel like flying over city @ night. b2 is a deep techno ballad, a musical bedtime story for those who dont want to go to sleep

the debut record of ritmolider kaleidoscope is a traditional studio work with live performance and classic analog sound. being in the era of nu disco and re edits the author has tried to find his own way of making music based on traditional methods of performance. and hes got a beautiful symbiosis of instrumental improvisations and electronic melodiousness. at the begining of the record theres a superb remix by the beat broker - deep, groovy synth disco, highly recomended for dancefloor! the second track is a journey into obscure psychedelic funk with lots of improvisations and atmospheric tunes....a pity so sweet percussions are added so late. b2 tonight at the discotheque will carry you away by the real soviet disco vibe. a beautiful arp solo softly flowing through amazing effects and acoustic drums focused on free played funky basslines. the original version of kaleidoscope is also a very interesting one. a mood of this composition is changed all the time. the first seconds of the track you hear a tender melodic solo which makes you feel calm and relaxed, then you get the groove coming from an agressive arpeggio and dinamic percussion. soon this feeling gets interrupted with a sudden slap bass impromtu playing together with a synthy accompaniment, and it turns into another feeling, and so on... this really reminds of kaleidoscope effect!

following his awesome face up ep on saved and an amazing remix as part of skylarks i-panik album, joel mull is back on saved records label with a stunning ep of melodic, atmospheric techno. encantado is a real standout record. up-tempo, shuffling percussion creates an infectious rhythm while a mad wobble-board noise weaves in and out of the track to provide the distinctive hook

the first release on this new label is from gatto fritto who has released records on dissident and electric minds and recently remixed subway on souljazz. the a side hex is a nine minute, mid tempo, atmospheric, bearded disco trip taking in falsetto vocals, straight to video synths, acoustic guitars and the budget, analog death rattle of a vintage siel cruise. the bmside beachy head is a teutontastic tribute to the uks favourite suicide spot. a 3/4 krauty synth builder that spills into layered waves of guitars and unforgiving rocks of heavy analog bass...think klaus schulze and steve reich rolling off a cliff in 1983 datsun cherry.

great dark & atmospheric electro rmxs

nice price deal !!! atmospheric - melodic techy edged electrohouse businezz!!

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!)

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<
