the latest gigolo release is one for the summer! aptly titled hot it comes courtesy of ivano coppola and christian prommer, the former being one of italia s most respected dj s and the latter being, amongst other things, one of the main collaborators for hells critically acclaimed album teufelswerk. taking a sample from willie ninjas classic record hot and building a track around the chords and the vocal leads us to our starting point ivano coppola plastic mix!
ivano coppola has been the resident dj at milan s plastic club since 1992, so it is fair to say that he knows what works on a dance floor, or, to use a popular phrase, what is hot and what is not. it is with this historical knowledge that we find the genesis of our track. i found it necessary to go back in the past, to start producing once again in a 90 style - using samples. the next step was to come back into the future and reach out to christian prommer, highly respected by many including ivan i consider (christian prommer) one of the best producers of the moment! he loved the idea, the remix was huge, and so we decided to co-produce the record. simple!!!
but, for christian this was more then a remix, hence the co-production credit! i liked the idea of translating an early 90 s house-music-sample in to a sample-style-percussive-techno-tune. lots of live played drums and percussion in this one, of course. i only later learned that the sample we used is from one of my house music heroes, maws louie vega. naturally the record found its way into the hands of gigolo in the best way possible, and in the tradition of such a great record label – i played it at the gigolo night in munich and hell came to me dancing and took the tune into his heart.

p is back with another killer! ht stands for hard techno and this time a famous producer remixed a well known track for your pleasure... check it out!

the soulstars camp is back with 4 deep house tracks. just feel it then!

the sunshine coast?s resident electronic maverick, milanese is back on with his heavy-as-fuck 2nd album on the mighty planet mu, and a snapshot of the continued evolution of his unique, fresh angle on streetwise uk bass music.
having pioneered the heavy, dark and twisted experimental dubstep sound with his previous releases on warp, combat, mg77, arcola, seed and planet mu, this new lp sees a shift towards collaboration. with strong vocal artists like ben sharpa (pioneer unit, cape town) and rqm (al haca, vienna), who deliver interesting lyrics in a unique style, melded perfectly with milanese?s own fat swerving basslines, solid drums full of attitude and odd, mangled samples.
melting dubstep?s earth shaking frequencies with hip hop & grime vocals and hard edged timbaland influenced drums and percussion, the result defies categorization: neither dubstep, grime, hip hop nor idm - you could call it a mashup of all these, but it?s more accurate to say it sounds like streetwise bass music for the year 3000. incredibly strange beats and sounds but keeping the funk, fury and bounce 100% on lockdown.
challenging, menacing and forward thinking like his previous releases 1up on warp (2004) and extend on planet mu (2006), its also 31 year old steve milanese?s most dancefloor record yet.

supported by: raresh, rhadoo, pedro, reboot, robert dietz, markus fix, meat, dorian paic, einzelkind, chris wood mr. dan andrei is back on be_chosen. after a great first release called >just music< now he delivers a great two tracker ep called: >saint omar<. so, please enjoy those great tracks

support by enzo elia, sultan, oliver koletzki, martin eyerer, marc romboyà flash recordings was a result of collaborations between oliver koletzki and florian meindl back in 2006, now after olivers label stil vor talent took off and flooded him with work, florian manages flash on his own. the first musical statement for this new paths florian is going comes in the shape of a single with two perfectly crafted dance-floor weapons: >time to move< is a disco tech- house tool built with a solid and mechanic meindl beat&bass construction, which ends up in a superlong break before it gets hit back by the beat.

nice price deal !!! after some heavy remix jobs, joakim is back with his own music.

headman aka robi insinna is back on his own relish label. on the a side is dreampieces - alternative version feat. jeremy kerr (a certain ratio) on vocals and dennis young of liquid liquid on percussion. includes a remix by zongamin. b side delivers dirt, featuring vocals by sydneys katrina noorbergen. also featured in a disco influenced remix by c90s.

vinyl 1 of 2, featuring tracks taken from >crosstown rebels present rebel futurism session two< mix-cd, released in 2005.

raindance dates back to 1988 when it was produced by marshall jefferson and featured byron stinglys distinctive falsetto voice. however, despite being intended as the follow up to the classic i cant stay away it never ended up seeing the light of day due to contractual complications involving another artist covering the song.

played by karotte, giles smith (secretsundaze), laurent garnier... already up to its 17th release, yore keeps rolling on, this time with a new release by memory foundation. in 1994 robert hood found his way into a dark basement somewhere in viennas suburbia. mr. hood was impressed by what he had heard, and with him a dat-tape took a long journey back to where techno was invented once. with their first appearance on detroits m-plant label 15 years ago, the memory foundation or one of their many alter egos found its way into the hearts and the record-bags of many serious electronic music lovers. in 1997, after setting up their own record labels central and together with jeremiah grow! and other releases on m-plant, 7th city or usm followed. the memory foundation now returns with their contribution for the yore camp, with their >reptiles in exile ep< they prove that they havent lost their magic touch. the track burns with electro-funk fire, with natural kit and cymbal sounds giving the already-surging cut extra thrust and the staccato burble of metallic chords adding berlin flavour. a lithe eight-note bass motif anchors the warm techno-funk of >bass traveller< as a flaring synth motif squiggles alongside rhodes chords and a boogieing clavinet line, and its easy to become so engrossed by the tunes relaxed swing that the artistry of its arrangement can go underappreciated. textbook body music, >summer visions< is an earthier, mid-tempo funk workout thats sure to get the dance floor crowded, while the light-speed closer >reptiles< blazes a slinky house trail whose fresh swing has got yore written all over it. with any luck, we wont be waiting twelve more years for the next memory foundation release

sommerliche leichtigkeit mit in den sand gemalten spuren von acid begegnet hypnotischtreibenden groove -monstern und auch der immer gern gesehene oldschool- workout findet mit adsrs vom warp-mitbegründer rob gorden gemasterten >back to 1989< -remix seinen logenplatz im line-up

vertex is an exploration in two parts. the a sideÆs vertex and the locus of points explore the trackier side of tejadaÆs work meant mostly for vinyl play. both tracks make good use of strong wavetable chorded sounds, which are modulated throughout. the rhythms of the chords make up the identity of the track with elements coming in and out. vertex showcases a more layered approach to take the track from a percussive to a smooth feel. the locus of points follows more of a straight up techno approach sounding simple and effective. the b-side explores the more melodic and arrangement based side of tejadaÆs work. liquid mirror is a track rich in layers. 3 modular synth layers provide the initial modulating melodic ground work which is then complimented by lush tejada keyboard work bringing the song to itÆs apex and then reducing it back to itÆs start all while backed by tejadaÆs powerful drum work. p.l.l. (which stands for phase locked loop, a process explored here) continues this theme in a less obvious way. modular synths and drum tracks start things off while midway a modulating melodic phrase is introduced playing back a bit differently every time. four songs in all showcasing tejadaÆs simple and complex approach to dance music.

new york’s talented cielo resident, ibizian willie graff joins forces with fellow ibizian house activist guiseppe tuccillo in this late-night jam. after numerous quality release on labels like drumpoet community, liebe*detail or jimpster’s freerange the ibizian combo stikes back on circus company. this 3 tracker is quite complete. on a side youll get some >snerata< for your picktime with a housy flavor. power is inside : feel the bass, feel the keys… the b side leads us to some deeper vibes. rucula is a delicious house track to play on build up time. warm athmosphere, five star deep house… then the ep close down with >do it<. here we are still in the deep but in a more tooly direction. perfect one to play. ladys and gentleman, come on and dive into willie graff & tuccillo fantastic flow !!!

killer new moby single!!! on pale horses my friend amelia is singing, shes holding a $20 microphone, no headphones, just singing it with me holding the lyrics in front of her pointing to the words. she didnt know the song before she sang it, so her performance has a vulnerable and almost na ve quality. after, i put her vocals on an old 1/8ö tape machine and re-recorded them back into the song. i wanted them to sound as if they were recorded 50 years ago... including remixes from gui boratto, apparat, and empyrean...

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.

te amo is a forgotten gem originally released on the volumex label back in 1993 and then licensed to the legendary vc records in the u.k. with mixes from john digweed. this was a huge anthem back in the early 90s full of balearic passion and happiness which is often missing in todayÆs music. but lets not get carried away in the memories of the past and check out these brand new mixes. in fact, the record makes a fine return to todays scene thanks to brilliant interpretations from two of our favourite djs/producers out there: hotly tipped paolo mojo and tapesh.to round off one pretty nifty package, the original caliente mix is enclosed also. and this still sounds as relevant today as it did almost two decades ago. a blast from the past indeed! very similar to releases on record labels like cr2, defected and toolroom.

bambino is back again with another argentinean export manuel sahagun! after releases under his belt on labels such as drop music, so sound, wiggle, flavor, kolour, guesthouse, blockhead and picking up support from the likes of terry francis, mark farina, miguel migs, lawnchair generals, dj heather, inland knights, da sunlounge etc. he brings the heat to bambino in form of a 4 tracker ep, that just oozes quality all the way through every single groove on the vinyl. all four tracks range from funky, tech, deep house that will please most dance floors out there!

second release on klimaks comes from italian tech house favourites nice7.
they ve done tons of great remixes for mark knight, d ramirez, patric la funk, dataworx, bodyrox and the list goes on ... now its time to release their own original productions as well. first up is their tech house monster scappiamo which has been requested a lot ever since nice7 + highprofile djs started playing the track in the clubs.
1st remix comes from none other than uk s own spektre. with this monster of a remix they returned back to the more crisp and housier sound and we have to mention, this might be their best remix to date! you have been warned.
2nd remix comes from canadian dream team carlo lio & the junkies. they recently had a huge underground smash last days on rawthentic music and they are following up on that with this tight and groovy remix for the tech house heads out there.

c series goes for the smash and grab and gets all funky latino on your ass with 2 tracks of funky floor shaking techno. c4 - cuba libre: this original latin house track gets a monster of a rework to kick things off with a bang, yes i couldnt resist! the deep warbling bassline and rhythmic stabs lead into the original vocal. from there it all moulds into one intoxicating cocktail to put your best foot forward and stomp away, it blends so well youll wonder why it was never done in the first place!? c4 - suavemente: something even elvis would be proud of im sure, elvis crespo that is! this international spanish hit gets funkd up a treat, pure ass shaking dancefloor material. put a funky bouncy bassline, those well known vocals with some rolling percussion and its like youre back on having your own holiday in a club!

kirk needs no introduction, as a long serving electronic music devotee, a quick glance at kirks discography shows the scale this extraordinary talent has contributed to electronic music over the years. it is therefore with huge excitement that abstract forms brings you jitter world. featuring three tracks of deep techno business, jitter is a full on, peaktime dance floor mover with extra drive, that will undoubtedly appeal to the djs as well as the deep techno lovers amongst us, whilst back in my head and traject lay focus more toward the deeper end of the techno spectrum. its kirks groove on the dance floor and his deeper experimental electronics that make this ep fit perfectly within the abstract forms ethos.

dj maze is back on p2s! fist single from his new album!

qalomota is back in action with a hot release from kenny bobien + remixes from greg gauthier, joyful noise, hedi benromdan & michael gouron.

2raumwohnung is back with their new single wir werden sehen taken from their upcoming longplayer lasso hitting the stores in late july. inga humpe and tommi eckart aka 2raumwohnung are definitely the most successful german club / pop duo to date. although their previous albums have always topped countless mainstream charts over the last years they never forgot where theyre coming from: the club scene! thats why they always keep on putting out groundbreaking dance remixes of their songs by top notch producers. this time its up to paul kalkbrenner, lately starring in the techno movie berlin calling and goodgroove & yapacc early morning extravaganza!

back 2 back classic!! includes slo groovin kerri chandler remix!!

the mighty beat assassins return on mofo this time with a tidy collab with vocalist sweetie irie, and with a tip top remix from the one they call ac slater this release will put mofo back where it belongs, at the top of the pile!!

new out for the label balance recordings now called balance alliance born under the banner of prescription underground/records. balance alliance brings to you a series of collected gems of productions new and old. the concept is to introduce new sounds while keeping some underground cuts alive. this third release is like a good soup with many ingredients to complete the taste. this project is one of the mystery releases with a combination of vibes rather, artist, writers, producers or re mixers to complete the flavor. taking you back to the moments when it was all about the music. if you are a true music lover, then you have already guessed each artist own special touch. this 4 tracker is something you want to keep in your bag of goodies, with ingredients such as: mush, alton miller, minister mike, home & garden, ali meghji, chez damier, kenny carvajal, j tilla and daz i kue... all adding their touch to complete our essential meal of the day.

please welcome the 2nd youngster in our rooster. with just 20 years, he is already a professional in the swiss scene: stefano tropeano played at the internationally well reputated oxa in zurich, at loft luceme, acqua zurich, club q and many more. he is definately one to watch in the future. for his first production he received maximum support of namito, well known for his releases on kling klong or great stuff, rounding up this powerful package that should make it very difficult to decide which track to play, just because they all work out equally great.

played by brothers vibe , gerd janson (running back)... introducing two brand new lindstrom tracks: the magnificent and disturbing the perfect symmetry the leftover ep came about when prins thomas, todd terje and smalltown supersound were let into the lindstrom vaults so to speak. lindstrom makes a lot of music obviously (he has one album out this year already with prins thomas and another one with christabelle coming in october), and these were two tracks just laying around that he hadnt thought about releasing. when both prins thomas, todd terje and his label insisted that the tracks had to be released, he decided it was maybe a good idea to make another 12inch since it had actually been a while since the last one. and we are all happy by that. these are some of his finest moments. his signature melodies and sound are all here ready set dancefloors on fire. hope you like them as much as we do. enjoy!

this is the second single to tease depeche modes new album >sounds of the universe<. peace!

>time to bring the funk and intensity back in a new way. time to open the sound again<, sagt luke slater zu seinem planetary assault systems album. er generiert über die gesamte spielzeit eine industrielle härte und energie, die man schon länger nicht mehr dermaßen auf den punkt gebracht bei einem technoalbum gehört haben dürfte

dj support: dj hell, dj deep, brothers vibe, jerome sydenham, sasse, riva starr, laurent garnier, gel abril, axel o boman, siopis, ricardo esposito... born and raised in sweden, marco gegenheimer grew up with a big range of musical styles from reggae to soul, funk latin, pop and flamenco. he teached himself to play guitar and drums and started to play in rock and indie bands before arriving at electronic music. today gegenheimer lives in barcelona and is very active as dj and producer. his current style is influenced by his rich musical past as well as detroit and chicago, which can be clearly heard on his first perplex. kalakuta is an epic floating techno track, classic and modern at the same time, with outstanding mixing and sound design which will send all lovers of quality and emotional techno music on a journey into time and space. kuti goes into the same direction, with massive chord stabs above one of the coolest basslines you might have heard in quite a while, shortly breaking down with melancholic pads in the middle only to bring the groove back with even more force some seconds later.

20 years time, when vinyl diggers are hunting the most obscure house and techno treasures from the 90s and noughties, theyll probably turn to expert patrick specke for assistance. this dj and producer from düsseldorf is dedicated to the machines that he uses to craft his metallic, shimmying tunes - but hes equally committed to collecting the best pieces of vinyl that walk the earth. you can hear it in his tracks for this desolat release: a solid understanding of the space between the beats and the subtly textured samples that help make up a fine dance-floor groove. tracks like get me out and bitchual linestepper use tight drum loops to build the kind of stealth attack that lends itself to dancefloor damage. on naggin me the building blocks that make up the classiest 4/4 recordings are reshuffled and stretched out - from here to mars and back

mindtravel recordings is back with a solid 4 tracks ep from label owner fabio bacchini featuring remixes from frankie j (former the sound republic) and tommy >the dutch master< largo. this release will again please all lovers of the timeless disco-funk sound mixed withjackin beats. dj support bryan jones, inland knights, jason hodges, raoul belmas, massimo dacosta, nate laurence..

nice price deal !!! mr tim is back with some floor-friendly acid tracks (he surely hates it when we say its late 80 s chicago inspired.... but it sounds like the haydays of rawer jacking chicago tracks such as made by mike dearborn / armando). two dope tracks on a single-sided limited 12 with track one being the best like a tim track in a while: a pure, simple and a no-nonsens jack track. track 2 is chicago to the max. it maybe doesn t sound very like a tim... but it s 9 minutes of basic, pure and intense dancemusic by rotterdams finest. only 300 copies with handsigned labelart and no digital sales! so don t sleep on this one...

dancefloor specialists shadow sync are back with their new release on krd.focus is a classic techno tune with a modern touch: after the quite inoffensive intro the rhythmic texture gets more and more complex until our beloved tr909 seizes absolute power over the intricate weave of abstract sounds.
dominion is built around a bewitched synth sequence which gets even more poisonous after the drop. dance to it but donÆt touch it! itÆs very very dangerous!

from the empire of rising sun the following release of troubled kids arrives. this time with takayuki higo in charge. a great japanese producer who is back to share his musical talent again. and troubled kids is the better place for that. the ep contains remixes from pawas and alessandro crimi. fourth release from troubled kids records. and this time the kids feels generous so decided to make two exclusives tracks only for digital. with remixes from mididropmusic and jesus gonsev. the summer is comming and the troubled kids strikes again! keep in touch! supported by: laurent garnier, lars behrenroth, rocco, till von sein, nacho marco, boris hotton , hernan cattaneo, g family, nils nurnberg, daniel kyo, da funk, brendon moeller and many more.

soulfuric trax is back in action with a hot release from john julius knight & roland clark

4th edition of common good this time with a various artist ep by dutch underground techno collective from the south. a1 tachini: just a drum is a part straight techno part off beat techno that creates a freaky atmosphere. a2 sceptical c: just rockin is a straight forward no nonsense techno killer, good for any real techno dance floor. b1 zix: multivitamins brings back the old techno feel, dark and tripping. a must have for real techno lovers.

lowkey & kardinal are back on goog records with a very special guest: adrenaline. 2 more killer cuts!!

spencer product is back after his debut mix cd product. this time he delivers a party anthem we bite with razor sharp remixes from londons tronik youth and nyc darlings designer drugs. we bite, named after one of spencers classic lower east side sleezefests is an ode to honest to goodness late night debauchery. its all about downtown basements, pbr, dirty sex, cocaine and vomit...what more do you need. spencers original is an overdriven distorted electro rock affair while designer drugs clean it up a bit for the late night electro beatdowns. tronik youth keep things very 80s new wave disco with heavy reverbs on the drums, cheap synths and vocoders all the way...if you cant get a trip in to new york this year just close your eyes and this record will take you there.
