oliver schleenvoigt is one of the two parts of the monoroom duo, who should be well known by everybody. with his first solo ep on ostwind records, oliver shows what he is capable of and makes a wonderful debut with his kunstflug ep. a-side tracks >gerissene rolle< and >zwirbelturm< are 2 driving tech house bombs with a lot of feelings, small delicacies and the right nip in terms of groove. on the b-side, we will find david labeij and neurotronturning the tables, performing magic with 2 damn phat remixes. both of them, with their very own style, make for the track >zwirbelturm< be a fabulous joy and for the ep to become an even more smooth thing. dutch fluffy tech meets mecklenburg neutron techno. a big thank you to the remixers and of course to oli for this successful debut.

with support by john selway, stephan bodzin, perc, technasia, xhin, tony rohr, dean facer and many more. the catalogue number 013 on the berlin label phunkit records is at the same time the starting shot for the first vinyl release. and exactly this one shows down-to-earth techno from the capital, elaborated and cunning, by the artist duo takt tick. the actual overhead conveyors and host djs from the tresor club present trend-setting productions. the name >u1< is, brought to the point, a little journey through the time of berlins underground. the a1 side sends the listener on a trip which is coined by dynamical passages of highs and crispy bass parts. uncompromisingly does the rhythm chase around the focused, flogging consonance and the slowly modulated intervals with short breaks. on the b side: >whisper<, a subtle peak-time monster which does not know any kind of holdup, full of energy and only waiting for the chance to make the strobes lose their wind. >black worms is a b2-bomber for sure. with its dusky sounds, it is solidly rolling without downward movement. shady, resonant, consequent and remorseless.

hot on the heels of the recent greg wilson/ray mang edits paper recordings have enlisted the remixes talents of two further hot acts in the form of faze action and brennan green.
first up we have faze actions re-edit of >drop your weapon<, a rolling and bouncing slice of funk laden modern disco that uses the distinctive guitar licks from the original and drops layers of bass, pads and drums to create an instant anthem!
on the flip we have the superb brennan green who takes >3 play it cool< and develops it into a loopy and percussive deep house masterclass, using subtle melodies and taut yet organic sounding drums. this is perfect late night tackle and provides a perfect counterpart to the upbeat disco stylings of the a side, wonderful stuff.

anthem alert - huge undergropund techno!

remain 010 - shot on purpose ep has arrived in time to mark the third anniversary of the label. boss axel karakasis, on top form, signs the three magnificent tracks included which have already been favoured by many djs worldwide, including the likes of umek, blah, blah, blah.. on the main side, blue ringed is one powerful track that delivers techno in its true brilliance. both axel and remain deserve big kudos for this track, as it cleverly combines full frontal samples, slamming workout and cuts filled with breakbeat-like motifs, opening up the doors to fresh, unconventional music. shot on purpose features a composition of killer bassline, hissing hats and electro-swept analogue sounds that is well functional and delivers even to the most demanding audiences. with broken on the remain side insane rolling techno and a haunting whistle melody make up a classic theme and a winner recipe for any headliner. an absolute must-have and a guaranteed favourite! early support by : umek, the advent, cristian varela, a paul and more

a long term promoter and dj in sweden, patrick siechs transition to production has been a sucessful one, following a few releases for the kant label, is now welcomed aboard adam beyers long-running techno mainstay. >crude<, due to the combination of incredibly detailed (and tripped-out) edits/sound evolution and a lolloping loose bassline, is a woozy peak time anthem which doesnt quit. b-side, >bad carnival<, is a heavily percussive, contemporary tribal techno cut which takes no prisoners.

rising star chamboche (sam williams) turns out his 3rd release on under the shade. heading up the a side is a bumping old school remix from ny dream team runaway, whilst the original is a slow building rumbler, full of tension in all the right places. on the flip >the show must go on< gets a locked groove with the a huge baseline whilst remixer de jour moscow (matt waites) goes epic!
support from the revenge, tensnake, mugwump ...

double a-side by mt. desolation, featuring members of killers, keane, mumford & sons, noah and the whale, and the long winters.

second of 3 volumes taken from the incredibly rare japan only cd release inner films 70 from 2009. the sketch is simple, modern dance artists take on seminal film scores from the 70s and give them a twist. kicking of with maurice fultons eerie and quite frankly disturbed version of jaws (main title), next shigeru tanabu takes on star wars! on the b side brisha steers ninth symphony… (from clockwork orange) into deep techno territory, while finally godfather (love film) gets a deep paddy house overhaul by yukihiro fukutomi (mule musiq).

after an outstanding response from their 1st release, saobi records will be filling the worlds dance floors with four new amazing tracks by santi, released on his own label. the a side features 2 tracks with a massive deep house groove with an excellent remix from dj axel. the other side offers two tech-house tracks which combine a classic synth pad with an intoxicating voice on a silky melody ... dont miss out!

this is first collaboration track of marcus from minilogue and his friend kab.marcus from minilogue have been played a lot of kab stuff at his dj set and sometimes they play by back 2 back. their back 2 back set at labyrinth festival in japan was unforgettable. local report on a side is very hypnotic and groovy tech house with spoken words.this is a kind of peak time stuff.on the other side, shade of grey is very dark, psychedelic but very modern touch.its for the fan of villalobos to mathew jonson.

named after the bird that graces the cover of watergates latest mix cd the, >peacock ep< contains all the exclusive tracks from the mix compiled and blended together by club resident lee jones. the a-side is handled by matthias meyer and lee, who team up for a peak-time killer laden with warm chords. this one has already proved itself on watergates main floor by getting butts shaking on multiple occasions. >kreuzberg 61<, musically is clearly inspired by lees experiences in watergate and his home for the last 8 years in berlins kreuzberg district. the reduced tempo and warm melancholic strings are an audible representation of looking through watergates glass walls out upon the river during the wee hours of a saturday morning. wrapping up the ep, is the after-hour anthem collaboration between lee and daniel dreier, >lullaby<. the perfect track to hum on your sunday morning stumble home.

dixie yure is the incarnation of contemporary oldschool house music from seville. after some digital only releases it is about time for some haptic experience. with the 10“ record „show me satisfaction“ on berlin-based label fenou his sound is rotating on turntables for the first time. monotonous minimalism ain’t dixie yures world. the sound tends more towards 2step and builds a homogeneous and pleasant mixture with classical house elements and vocal parts. you just cant deny yourself dancing the >chicken dance< and stepping like hell! thanks to the funky improvisations extending over the whole track you wont get bored even after listening to >show me< for the hundredth time. the a-side is just fun - in the club as well as on your couch. you wont miss the low-pitched vocals on the b-side either as they are typical for the spanish producer. >satisfaction< is a little more reduced than >show me< but is enhanced with jazz elements such as pianos and saxophones. it shows that wind instruments in electronic music dont have to be annoying tribal elements. in this example acoustic instruments do not just get mixed up with house music but merge to one groove – absolutely rocking tune!

we would like to dedicate this release to our colleague and good friend aaron-carl who passed away on the 30th of september 2010. during the whole process of creating and thinking this record with ivel, aaron has been supportive from day one. he was a great musician and an amazing human being. his loss has affected all of us. it is very sad to think that this will probably be his last remix to come out, thus making this record and his remix even more meaningful. out of all the words aaron could have chosen out of martin luther kings speech for this remix, he chose the phrase >i just want to do gods will<. i think that god, if theres one, has called him by his side way too early. life will continue, aaron-carl and his music will stay in our hearts

the a side come with a quality techhouse track and a lot of melody made by starbud. the b side martin rei completes this ep with a drum based techno drum

the first edition of the unirhythm green series. two brand new, smooth as ice tracks from the motor city madman marcellus pittman. the a-side is >tom remix<, a dynamic dj tool that will keep the heads bouncing in the club. the b-side, >if the earth could talk<, is equal parts deep and dubby, but still has that lo-fi detroit grit in the sound. this is a record that will stick around in many djs crates for a long time. this record is the first of a series of collaborations between unirhythm and fit.

emerging from afternoon studio sessions, the final scores, too many beers and then nights in an upstairs room at their local boozer, discomendments aka lee fisher (of mother >all funked up< fame) and paul kaminski have developed into a fine production unit who are into anything and everything. having started out cutting and pasting edits for their own dj use, they are now focusing on original productions that fuse different styles and genres from past to present. sleeping giant, their debut release on maxi discs, borrows unashamedly from the early network house sound, but fuses it perfectly with contemporary slo-mo house, disco and balearic vibes. whether on the beach or in the basement, the discomendments sound is equally at home! on the flip side, maxi label boss, pete herbert, turns up the heat and reworks the original into a dancefloor bomb. while disco deviant dicky trisco keeps his eye firmly on the mirror ball with a lo-slung ny influenced workout. listening to the sounds of maxi discs is guaranteed to release the pressure

numan khan from manchester is a new artist for planet mu with an original musical style that mixes dubstep and grime influences with an idiosyncratic take on rhythm to great effect.
this four track ep showcases his styles from the a side with the lush melodic accordian and snes melodies of >race against time<, to the slower, disco influenced >photograph<.
the b side starts with >voodoo<, which combines grimey bass and strings with offbeat drums to odd, driving effect and finishes with >xx< which sounds like a long lost golden era 8-bit grime instrumental but with deft production tweaks and fx that keep it interesting and effective.

materializing next is from the mind of belgian producer franco cangelli. techno tunes from oblivion transmitted into this dimension by franco. yes, expanding the palette of machining dreams sound with some banging waveforms for your enjoyment. cangelli delivers the embrace ep, a 3track deep techno release with sweet, elegant pads and chords crafted for the deeper and intenser moments on the dancefloor

randalls mac 2 recordings showcases another banging release with the return of fast moving breakthrough artist soul intent. having all ready featured on the label on the 17th release back in 2008 and on the recent justice league ep soul intent returns once again to show us how rolling drum n bass should be done. the a side >rebel music< punches through with razor sharp breaks that bring the track to some seriously sub low basslines. haunting vocals lead through the track introducing some seriously deep fx and strings that make this track one stone cold killer. the flip >cybergroove< makes for a more upbeat affair but certainly shows soul intents versatility as an artist. percussion lead breaks and some haunting strings cut into a bassline that punches its way throughout the track before cutting into a fx lead breakdown. dj support from : randall, ai, klute, doc scott, survival, fabio, crissy criss and eveson radio ? bbc 1xtra and kool fm

nice price deal !!! prinzhorn dance school announce their return with new single – >seed, crop, harvest.< we havent heard a thing from tobin prinz and suzi horn for three years (their debut lp was released on dfa back in 2007) but theyve been far from work-shy. they toured extensively, then came home and built their own bespoke recording studio (the red shed) – and learned how to use it. time consuming endeavors which saw them drop off the music radar. which might just explain the title of the equally charged b-side >off the radar, off the system<. in their own words: >weve been busy. just not busy making records. you have to live too. you can only write so many songs about motorway service stations and airports<. they recorded and mixed both songs themselves in the red shed, with bob weston taking on mastering duties. …prinzhorn dance school are back! and dfa could not be more proud

5th in a series of modern, uncompromising industrialesque techno bombs - tip

windy city producers steven hitchell and josh werner continuing to challenge and confound expectations as antenna international drops >fractalrip< a speaker-melting 303 drenched bomb from chicagos southside, harkening back to the earliest days of outlaw warehouse and loft parties this track is already doing damage in the crates of justin long, traxx and adam marshall. while on the b-side we partner with fellow chicago independent imprint nation to bring the >preludes and nocturnes< mixx of >introspective< from traxx faith cd to light. this version has been put through the sonic cacophony that is hitchells echospace studio, packed with myriad gadgetry of assorted compressors, delays and the infamous echo chamber to create an ominous, building, dark entity not for the faint of heart.
