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

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

roberto de carlo comes up with a combination of funk, soul, and gospel with electronic elements, remaining powerful and fresh. this revamped cover version performed by colin corvez and with incredible keyboard played by one of worlds most talented musicans in house music - simon grey. de carlo brings back to the club this d-train classic, who were and are one of the most exemplary post-disco/pre-house groups. next to roberto de carlos and diego auguannos classic versions this package includes remixes by san francisco based and salted music boss miguel migs who delivers a fantastic dub for peak time madness.

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.

once again a sure shot from this much loved imprint. as they usualy do, one side is an original flavor from back in the days, as the flip highlights the amazing talent of wonder duo the old boys (dont trust the name... they re not that old at all...). killer release again... to me, maybe the best one so far...

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!

after their debut single turn you onhaving such a wide success on goodgroove, they are back to bring some disco breaks to the floors. san francisco meets south west england. the sly players are tal m klein and slim goodgroove. they create disco vs breaks vs funk that bridges boots and original production, leaving no musical stone unturned, each sly players track is born of tal and slim s crazed experiments at throwing the kitchen sink at dancefloors, keeping what sticks and throwing out what doesnt.

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!

broken rules is back with a vengeance with this hard ripping four track ep on ist. the tracks are in the classic broken style with no messing about, hard kicks, slick tekno rythms, with the infamous hard kicks and distorted madness the man with no rules is known for. so check this banging 12 inch out, it will not disappoint.

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.

minimalplus 004 with label head gideon known from his work on sino (hong kong), kanzleramt (berlin), lessismorecordings, anticlub, southern comfort, grayarea. after his first release on his own imprint minimalplus which got big plays he is back. this time in a collaboration with revolve. this edition brings 2 tracks floating between minimal and techno. we are the sound of the underground (m version) is a minimalistic dj tool with a pumping groove, that may remind a little like the early days of minimal, when it was still straight forward and effective. we are the sound of the underground (t version) is more techno minded version of the title track, with its shuffle and huge drive, it is sure to move the more underground dance floors.

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.

crowbar is back on track with two releases in a row. first up is the svetec release followed shortly by this concrete djz gem. that amok is not only about those ultrahard releases is proofed by this one. a techno release in the traditional style, that will appeal to both hard techno and straight techno lovers. well done!
