nice price deal !!! peaktime! this one definitely qualifies as a summer record. a.j. holmes is the self-titled >king of the new electric hi-life<. after moving back to london three years ago the guitarist and dj has played quite a role in the booming afrobeat scene there and formed a new band called >the hackney empire<. for the summer of seven series he contributes two remixes of tracks from the very best and xylitol that are simply made for the summertime love.

bite sized beats vol. 4 brings back the kentucky fried duo corduroy mavericks to partake in a deep fried fandango. some jams are fantastically tasty on their own just like a lot of your favorite foods, but sometimes you take that extra step by battering it, and throwing it in the deep frier till its a nice golden brown. that is just what c-mavs did to a stevie wonder classic on their crispy bit >funky jazz<. they fried that bitch up just right and shot the flavor units through the roof just like the miracle of a deep friend twinkee.

james blake returns to the label that gave him his debut release with two brand new sub heavy club tracks. hemlock were responsible for his air and the lack thereof single back in 2009. neither >order< or >pan< have appeared on blakes soulful, electronic self-titled album from this year, the new material sees the return of blake into the more sparse, experimental and wobbling bass heavy sound of his earlier work

2011 is shaping up to be quite some year for d&b’s most famous imprint, metalheadz. after a clutch of releases from the frighteningly talented new generation of ‘headz artists, this latest 12” sees goldie’s legendary label welcome back one of its original and most defining artists, j majik, alongside his production partner of the last eight years, wickaman.j majik is one of the most important jungle/d&b artists of all time, with a discography that spans an astonishing 17 years and takes in almost every style and sound in the genre’s history. from early, groundbreaking jungle productions such as ‘your sound’ and ‘apache’, through house-inspired anthems such as ‘love is not a game’ and ‘solarise’, to the floor-flattening new school jump up of ‘dubplate killaz’ and the euphoric, vocal-led ‘crazy world’ – j majik is an artist who really has done it all.

the most beautiful time of the year... summertime! you wish for it a long time and then it seems to last just a little moment. now, this beautiful time stays alive... morgenklang gives you back these summer feelings by the new >verao ep<. a varied mixture of music for the best time of your life.

nice price deal !!! nice price deal !!! nice price deal !!! upps he did it again! rock n roll comes back to stock5!! or is it heavy metal? we dont know but its fat and its from ahmet sisman. but instead of bleeding out the same ideas again and again, ahmet presents a totally new side of his soul. his beat gains a lot of power and presence, fewer sounds do more without losing the typical sisman atmospheres! the young artist from essen knows nowadays how to interpret and manipulate tendencies to his very own style! and as usual great work and for sure one of the seasons big surprises

self defence returns in full effect with new yorks one and only dj dukes (of sex trax / power music fame) >summer madness ep<. dj duke had retired from the music front for a while, after he had about 300 records emerged after his >blow your whistle< blew up in 1993 and during the past few years. with releases dating back to 1990, you know the mans got skills aplenty, and they once again get a killer workout on this ep. each of the tracks shows a different side of his music-making and rewards ones time and attention, demonstrating that duke plays in his own league of house music. a bit of curry flavour seeps into >summer blast< by way of a sinuous string melody, adding an exotic tinge to the breeziness that otherwise infuses the cut. a funky, vibes-like motif and analog synth streams bring additional colour to the scene while a crisp, pumping groove locks everything solidly in place

big with: matt walsh, jef k, kolombo, cosmo vitelli, joakim, luke solomun, morpheus, slam, alexkid, anthony collins,... meet sex judas (sex to his mother). a sexual vigilante and underground musical entrepreneur working in tandem with his trusted sidekick ricky since the dawn of time (or the death of jesus). myth has it that after the infamous >kiss<, judas was damned to live on earth for eternity. he decided to make the best of it and delved head first into his true passion, music. known as a motherfucker on the >uggav< since his early teens, he emerged in the underground sounds of judea and never looked back. judas & ricky state they are on a mission to play music that reflects the real life, in all its horny, absurd, joyous and yes sometimes evil ways…with emphasis on the bass of course! so what you now hold in your hands is the glorious first vinyl offering from sex judas and ricky >sex according to judas< telling the story as it is, blending the old school sounds of chicago with a modern day longing for bass and ass, with a steaming sex toy edit by tim from paris to go.

played by dominik eulberg, adam beyer, ewan pearson, joris voorn, gabriel ananda, karotte, carlo lio, sebrok, martin eyerer, gregor tresher, monika kruse, stephan bodzin, troy pierce, darren emerson,.. ideal audio 019 again sees the coming together of two of modern technos super powers. having first stepped into the studio back in 2008 to bring us the mighty >diablo< (cocoon), dubfire and ideal boss oliver huntemann kicked off one of the most exciting production partnerships of today. the success of >diablo< encouraged the pair to continue their studio relationship - not an easy task with such hectic touring schedules.

trio techno cover, it was just a question of time to reach the point when wayne considers himself to be the one to create a musical statement in order to show what he thinks about all the current status of some parts of the electronic dancemusic circus. he still suffers from too much so called >minimal< in his eyes and he wants back the energy he is missing on many occasions… >you know, techno without bass is like f…… without screwing him in…< some might say he s too late with this song, but thats simply wayne! in his universe the meaning of time is different to what we all would expect. anyway, he finally checked out garage band on the mac he recently >lended< from somebody he does not even know, and here we go with his first very own song. lyrics in german only and heavily inspired by one of the biggest hits from the 80ies from the german cult-formation >trio<, but to make a long story short: its waynes message that the so called minimal sound is definitely over now: >always klick and always klack, i can not tell how much it sucks...<

the 40 thieves turn up in lengs back garden for a bit of late night skulduggery. kicking off side-a with >backward love<, a deep wobble of dub guitars, weird out fx, large 80s synth lines and lovely throbbing bass, more than enough to get people freaky. on side-b, >crystal mountain thunder< has a genius intro of ambient electronic atmosphere, which gives way to another slug of late-night dub wonkiness, with massive guitars and a hefty drumkit. as expected, a meaty joint of late night disco, for the murkier end of the dance-floor. we hear an album is coming up and if it matches the quality of this release then weve got a veritable treat on its way. check!

lost >>eight miles high>> stomper !!...back in !!

some of the worlds greatest djs play his tracks, some ofthe worlds greatest producers request his services as a remixer and for years his music has featured on world renowned labels. none the less, peter horrevorts has stayed in the background whilst studying modern musicproduction at the rock academy, evolving and developing into the artist he is today. he released on numerous labels like kanzleramt, trapez, ec records, global undergound , gem records and of course be real and bla bla . he also did countless remixes for labels like bush, weave music, tronic and many more. his previous release on be real recordings, the love from above received excelent feedback and was played and loved by many djs. also his track on the recently released bla bla spring sampler did some serious damage on many dancefloors with this unresistable groove and funk in his music be real is very proud to welcome peter back for his second ep on be real with 4 brand new tracks

aah, how we have missed them! the fine young gentlemen that are channel x, two of stil vor talents most active producers of meticulously crafted and deeply energetic tech-house smash hits. and just in time for the open-air season they now come back with two very convincing pieces of dancefloor art. first up is >little symphony<, an epic space opera that takes it cues from early 90s techno and mixes it up with post-modern grooves and beats. the wide and open spaces are filled with some very hymnal string patterns that are given a final treatment with a reverbed and high-pitched vocal sample. contrast that with the rather jittery beat and a subbass as deep as the frequencies will go and you got yourself a substantially clear bit of techno that is best imagined when it is dark and only some beams of air tell you where you are. channel x do not produce, they direct and all of the sounds are their actors! on the flip things get more light-hearted and set for the daylight hours as well. >steamboat willie< is a heavily sample-orientated swinging piece of jack. the rhythm guitar lead the way on top of a clap-based loop that sets the basis for some very jazzy interpretations along the way. clarinets, trumpets, percussions, brass, effects and even some talking vocal samples are all allowed to join in this hedonistic big band that is at play. this is one for the sunshine, this is one for the smiles on the faces, this is one to feel instantly good about yourself and everything around you. two very different tracks on this ep, but both equally stand out for themselves

returning to the plus 8 fold once more, paco osuna is one of spains finest electronic exports. having made a name for himself with a residency at amnesia over a decade ago, he hass since gone on to play places like watergate, fabric and movement festival, all the while holding down a residency for barcelonas club4 night at city hall. his experience in the studio goes way back, too, with releases on drumcode and minus as well as mindshake - the techno imprint he founded in 2005. the osuna sound has never strayed too far from the pulsing heart of the dancefloor - despite investigating everything from dark and fierce to stripped and raw techno - and thats the case once again on his four ep …

we present you the newly born imprint outernational recordings. the kick off for this unique vinyl series is by basque county native kastil who sets the right tone with three wonderful disco edits at a mid-tempo / slomo pace. since uploading these tracks to his soundcloud page, the feedback has been enormous. side a contains the long, slow and loopy back to philadelphia, where kastil cleverly plays with the vocals and delay and creates a highly tense build up. theres no doubt that some large players in the very popular disco edit culture will play this one out. on the b1 side you find the track smd. a track which received great feedback by some key figures on soundcloud. this track is the ultimate pre-lude for the summer. fortunately, this is being released just early enough to enjoy this during the european and northern american summer. with again beautiful vocals floating through the track, this track definitely reminds one of a hot day in the local park. the b2 track is called rolls royce. perfect as the last track of this release since its a long edit which ends with a very atmospheric piano solo that keeps on floating through the last few minutes of the track. all and all, these edits will definitely make some heads turn after the date of release. supported by: cosmic boogie, dicky trisco, the legendary 1979 orchestra, sleazy beats recordings, ben la desh, 78 edits, osvaldo wilson, mannmademusic, gitchell moore

new label by third ear records and what a cool first release!!! groovemental is bringing explosive jazz versions of two classic dance tracks! side x: dumb machines version of theo parrish,s falling up is based on the carl craig version of the track rather than the version recorded by theo. one of the biggest house tracks of the 2000s and a recognised classic. dumb machines have introduced words. the word falling is intoned throughout the track and the second stanza from louis macneice,s poem snow is recited. side y: written by tori amos. dumb machine,s version is based on the armand van helden remix. he created an irresistible dance groove, selected a few choice vocal samples, which became part of the clubbers lexicon, to create one of the biggest dance records of the 90s. dumb machines have gone back to tori amos lyric, taken various lines from the lyric and cut and pasted them together. two very inspiring jazz tracks for the house and techno generation, and for everyone else too of course! been on high rotation since we got it in stock!! recommende

gerd is delivering at the moment! after releases on clone royal oak, philpot, a big re-issue on rejected, great remixes on 4lux and delusions of grandeur its time for him to release on his own 4lux label! a massive chicago influenced track called h.o.u.s.e. featuring the voice of l.b. bad, the prince of dance music. this track was originally penned in 1994 when gerd had elbee over to tour the benelux. the track was released on an obscure limited edition white label only back then, but here a new rework of these old recordings. 2011 sees the track remixed by gerd himself and he takes the tune into rough & uncompromising analogue territory with filthy synth bassline and relentless tr808 action. seriously good track!! jakob korn, arttu and neville watson are on remix duty and deliver some fresh remix that complete this record. recommended!

ratio? strikes back again with a two-track-release from san proper this spring / summer 2011.

proper heat slid onto the nangsphere last year with their nifty >we are ready< ep. they certainly were… good reception all around and some fine plaudits. fast forward on 6 months and we are really pleased that the follow up >move ep< hits the streets. proper heat are from lithuania and are made up of martin virgin, saxtone and some fine vocals from karolis ramoska. laid-back, accessible disco house is the order of the day with this ep. we have two finely voiced tracks. dulcet tones and catchy songs abound with karolis doing a fine job in the voice department. lead track >the move” is mid tempo groover. mixes from nang label new-long-found-friend james bright and label stalwart (and supertop photographer) ichisan… you are always a subject when you are in the same room as this guy…. snap snap snap. james grooves it up with tight synthy bass and ichisan gets electronic and rolling. you can check out the video for >the move< on youtube and our home page too. the equally able >get ready< also makes a strerling appearance on the ep. another fine disco groovoid song. all in all the package overflows with extra dubs and instrumentals. bountiful disco abounds.

pattern select aka milton jackson and show-b have gone well and truly back to the raw on this, their first collaborative work together and debut ep for delusions of grandeur. both producers have been busy on some top quality projects just recently with milton jackson remixing recloose for planet e and show b producing for robert owens on compost. the pair met at a party in munich, promptly fell in love, and soon enough pattern select was born. kicking off tale of the tape sees the pair go deep n dark on this low-slung groove where demonic laughter rides the driving hats and insesant crashes until the filtering arpeggiated synth line joins the fun. tale of the dub gives us a stripped back, dub-infused version which goes a little lighter on the craziness of the first version but without losing any of the deep, hypnotic funk.

dr.gonzo is the new monstrous sound of italian duo phra & bot aka crookers. the new gonzo project, that features swedish two-piece savage skulls alongside canadian producers neoteric and wax motif, sees crookers go back to their roots, serving up three absolute club bangers! bust em up is an aggy assault on the senses, get the f**k out my house is another furious concoction of anger, energy and fun, whilst springer, the third in a serious of high tempo crook/skulls productions is probably the most outlandish. with serious depth and venom this jaunt to another crookers planet is helped along with an insane spring/bounce cartoon-esque sound effect that one can’t help but effected by

the beginning of a new era. founded in 2005 by thomas wendel aka don williams the beloved seminal imprint with cult status mojuba is facing the next level with the debut album kawasaki by stereociti from tokyo. when in 2005 the first sounds of mojuba were introduced to the world, people quickly realized that there is something very special going on different to the usual house or techno business … it was something more emotional, more personal, somewhat more deeply rooted! stereociti aka ken sumitani is truly one of japans finest when it comes to uncompromising underground dance music with heart & soul, whether it is the realm of deep house music or the darker moods of detroit techno. you can actually feel that his roots go far back into the early days of electronic club music but never lose sight of the history of soul, funk or dub. his debut kawasaki, named after his hometown, is delivering the quintessence of what is considered as the mojuba sound. being capable of such a musical sense, it was no wonder that the other mojuba family members nick solé, sven weisemann and oracy welcomed stereociti very warm. so if you are new to the world of mojuba, please tune in and enjoy the journey! kawasaki is a timeless piece of music, equipped with everything you need for an outstanding album experience. it will take you by the hand from the very first moments and will be there for you second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day until you let it go

next up on deep vibes comes sascha dive with his killer remixes of matthew dears >little people (black city)<. originally released on spectral sound (spc 101) as a digital-only package a vinyl edition had to follow due to public demand. for maximum sound quality the 20 minute version got shortened to a 15 minute >vinyl cut< (a1), while the >dub remix< comes in its original form on the flip-side (b1). sascha dive and matthew dear met on the road a few years back. in 2008 matthew dear featured a remix by the deep vibes boss on his watergate mix-compliation. when they played together in munich in august 2010 dear asked dive, if he wanted to do a remix for his upcoming album. the only condition dear asked him for was that it had to be the wildest and most crazy remix that dive could possibly do. little people (black city) is the probably strongest song of matthew dears recently released album black city. sascha dives remixes are on heavy rotation and played by a wide range of djs. make sure you get this joint in the box!

following his two recent singles on scubas hotflush recordings, london based george fitzgerald is back with his much-anticipated third release and his debut for aus music. titled silhouette, the three-track ep includes two originals and a remix from american producer john roberts. fitzgerald once again manages to create a world in which garage, dubstep, house, r&b and a host of other musical influences happily co-exist. on silhouette hints of warm acid, layered oscillating synth lines, propulsive beats and fitzgeralds signature use of vocal samples make this a peak time affair, albeit an incredibly lush one. reset is eight minutes of forward thinking uk garage combined with the melodic sensibilities of detroit techno. for the silhouette remix, roberts develops a relentless broken groove, occasionally punctured by brief piano interludes that recall the sounds of his 2011 debut full-length on dial records, glass eights. a breathtaking remix that sounds like nothing else out there at the moment. in addition to silhouette, fitzgerald currently has remixes out for french house producer brawther on secretsundaze and uk bass artist throwing snow, as well as an upcoming ep on hotflush and a track on the labels recent compilation, back and 4th. this year will also bring the founding of man make music, a new label fitzgerald is starting with friends.

the -makeovers- project is a compilation of some of claudes best re-twists, some of which are so far removed they can almost be considered original works. this special edition vinyl includes one of the most sought after remixes, -warpaint- originally by pocket 808 in australia, vonstroke turned this into a late night anthem in 2007. played by techno djs, dubstep djs, and everyone in between this track was never cut to vinyl until now. on the flip side claude remixed the nublu orchestra out of new york. he was never completely happy with the original version of the remix and hes gone back and re-made it into a very special piece of music including a new vocal sample from his wife aundy who also did the vocal effects in whos afraid of detroit? this collection was put together with the theme that a remix can be an inspiring starting point for an entirely new piece of music. these are two of the deeper and darker remixes but we think you agree they are also very special.

welcome back sebastian s solo work! after the excellent his first mix cd wa wu we and first solo ep voices around the fire , he came back with two excellent songs. on a side, alva is dubby, psychedelic house. it sounds like more techno version of omar-s. this track will be great dj tool for everyone. on b side, lyssna då björkarna viskar is peaceful ambient house with the sound of bird s singing.

after his last ep on stil vor talent in 2009, born-and-bread berliner sascha braemer is now back with three fresh tracks for the spring of 2011. in the meantime, his funky minimal jump-up tech-house has led him to release on labels as prolific as kindisch or dirtybird. things kick off with >belle<, a ferocious attack on your groove muscles and dancing bones. this tune glides as softly as the wings of an angel while shaking you around like a giant would a dwarf. the up-beat groove is based on a great cut-up vocal sample and some animating synthesizer stabs. sweet! then, >felicitous<, which is considerably slower than the previous two tracks. still, the vocal on this one and the deep electronic body come together perfectly to form a deep and dirty suckerpunch to your euphoria synapses. last up is >people< keeps the effected vocal approach and that really makes this tune. imagine a super deep bassline, some wonderfully syncopated hi-hat trickles and a constant groove to underline the power of the vocal. this track is club pop - so deep and yet so magic it will run shivers down your spine on the breakdown. sascha braemer seems to have put all his experience of peak-time club moments to early morning afterhour visions into his own transcript of signature sound. this is not be mistaken, this is simply on-point

nice price deal !!! the emergence of (another) very british sound in the form of dubstep some years back now has mutated into something altogether more cerebral. the chain are a product of this incipient sound and the many new strands that have splintered forward from it. dan foat is one half of the team that runs r&s, the newly invigorated label that is back at the forefront of contemporary electronic music. he’s also one half of the chain. dan & nathan boddy have for a while now had a studio near london bridge, which has formed into the r&s engine room, a hub for the second wave of their artists, pariah, james blake, space diimension controller et al who regualrly pass through the basement to drink tea and listen to new tracks.

andre lodemann is being heralded by many as a leading light in deep house, with a solid back catalogue taking in labels such as simple, moods & grooves, best works and room with a view.

transmissions sends us four intercepted signals from the mothership hovering over the motor city primed for the peak-time dancefloor that range from outer space techno trips to alien hip-shaking deep house. theres no fads here and no so-hip move faking, just quality in its purest form, and that alone can seem alien back on earth in these times…

we are back for another slab of genre-defying, ass-kicking, booty-shaking, timeless underground beats. get the curse music 07 features two cuts from the mysterious crackboy and two remixes from rising star gesaffelstein & toronto’s james teej. the question of crackboy’,s identity is burning everyone’s lips. who’s hiding behind this oh-so poetic moniker? theories abound, and rumor has it crackboy was last seen smoking on his pipe in the filthiest dens of the parisian underbelly. efforts to trace him since then have proved fruitless and until the next sighting, the enigma remains.
in spite of all this mystery one fact is crystal clear: with early feedback from ed banger’s busy p reaching the same conclusion that crackboy’s productions are solid gold, this is an ep with substantial crossover potential that will put the whole scene on the same wavelength.
support from joris voorn, steve bug, konrad black, laurent garnier, busy p, mathew dear, roman flugel, stephan bodzin, deetron, dubfire, kiki, gregor tresher, norman nodge, dj feadz, the hacker, remain, cosmo vitelli, arnaud rebotini, tobi neuman, erol alkan, ewan pearson...

marius takes a break from his recent studio lp work with prins thomas and delivers another killer release on maxi discs. continuing his journey into ny influenced dance music, he unleashes >glow of filter & dub< an epic 10 min ride into the musical world of legendary clubs like the paradise garage and body & soul that inspired him. it even has an old school drum break to drive your dance floor crazy. you can smell the sweat on this one - work it! on the flip, deep house heads 6th borough project work their subtle magic on >love gun< and create a house vibe that is deeper than deep. while disco deviant dicky trisco strips back >glow of filter & dub< to the bare essentials and works it to the max in a tribute to early tony humphries proto - house style cuts like ma foom bey.

picture this...you are a bear who has just awaken from hibernation. hungry, thirsty and having listened to nothing but your own heartbeat through the cold winter months, you reach for brian kage s newest 12”, bear trax volume 2. on beretta red. pressed onto juicy salmon-red colored vinyl, brian kage (beretta / planet-e ) dives ever deeper into his sound to create an enviroment within the songs to fall into and get lost. exploring a world that is dreamy, aquatic, and organic, kage creates a completely different kind of house, one that harks back to the days of its very roots in classic detroit techno.

dj t.s pleasure principle immersed itself, wholly and rapturously, into electronic musics legacy of soul, and helped to usher in a new period of groove-heavy deepness. like an antidote to clinical club sounds, album standout tracks like sense inject some well needed groove into the dancefloor. the maxi version of sense partners faraway melodies with james teejs breathy vocals that get up close and personal. a deep electro funk bass riff establishes its intent, and snaky percussion leads to a more structured house beat. piping flute sounds and drum echoes add an element of swing, while analogue handclaps and the tracks distinctive bass line recall its retro pedigree. newcomers tale of us continue their journey into dark minimalism, with a remix that isolates the percussion and vocals, shrouding both in reverb for maximum atmospheric effect. a sense of unease pervades through the saturated bassline and slow delayed handclaps, creating frosty mists and dark corners within the synth-tech house arrangement. hot natured duo lee foss and jamie jones next bring their sunny midas touch to the proceedings. teasing out the intro with high hats and layered vocals, a sense of anticipation is high. it blooms into sleek, skittering beats and otherworldly sounds, with a bass line thats been cut & paste back into place, before it delves deeper into a menacing deep bass synth rumble. the club version begins with a kick, deep echoes and meek percussive sounds that loop upwards through the scale. the distinctive bass line and handclaps begin, then teejs unadulterated vocals are pushed to the fore. brittle metallic synth flares appear from below the bass-heavy beat and recede again, ending in an electro-disco retro groove

netto houz are back with an extended and newly mastered version of >bad man speaks<, first released on their album >room 7107<, published on ladomat 2000 in 1998. >the prince of dance< elbee bad explains the difference between house and house music to an oldschool four-four- rhythm running on 113 bpm. the flipside of the 12 inch contains the previously unreleased deep house summer track >knuggles<, which builds on beautiful chords with a live rhodes piano jamming to it. berlin based knuggels recordings, run by dj kriton together with netto houz, is planning further to release new and previously unreleased material by netto houz as well as edits and remixes of their tracks from the 90ties.
