seeking for peace was triggered after darius got home from a great gig and while chilling at home saw the news on tv. horrific footage of the onslaught in the middle east and the suffering of the innocent families caught up in the bombing made him realise that when he had been living it up, others were living in fear.
bass not bombs is the inspiration for the other 3 remixes. the proceeds from his two tracks will be given to the international red crescent.

max coopers returns to traum with his brand new >empirisch< ep. he opens his ep with >echoes reality< and we realise right away this might be another cornerstone of max coopers musical carrier. inspiring and beautifully crafted as it moves from wonderful lush sounds to a sequences of screeching tones and back to heavenly sounds, >echoes reality< shows all signs of an etamorphosis deluxe realised on the highest possible level of production. from roaring basslines to cadillac squeaking tires to ambrosial vocals ... this is max cooper at his best and a true tour de force.

tokyo black star is finally back in full effect on reincarnation with 2 timeless deep house music gems in collaboration with our very dear friends at slam jam. >sotto marino< takes on a long ride and is reminiscent to the early 90s beautiful ecstastic italo house music vibe we love so much, while black box pays tribute to the real black funk at the now legendary friday fever black box party at club suono in ferrara with resident djs pasta boys and dj hendrix making you funk, jack and sweat under the strobe light dancing on a light floor lost in the jacking zone! produced and mixed by alex from tokyo and isao kumano for tokyo black star production in spring 2010. this ep is a tribute to our special friends at slam jam, to the maestro enrico crivellaro and to our extended music&party family in italy! arigatoni!!

the groovy edits are back ... more groovy shit for ur ears!

the latest release from joakims tigersushi record label sees the deadstocks 33s collaborating with stopmakingme for an ep of 4 lush, sometimes balearic sounding slabs of proto house dance music. straight off the back of crackboys ep, and joakims debut single from the new album, >gravity< compounds the summer mood of dance music, joining the ranks of artist gatto fritto and soulclap.

for our 22nd release, we decided to bring you guys the producers cream of the cream! this warrior dance part i ep will feature 5 amazing cuts from the wonderfull new talent coming from italy : simoncino!

having originally released tony rohrs oddlantik avenue album back in february, cari lekebuschs h-productions have done what they do best and clubbed together between their tight roster of like-minded artists to come up with a eye-widening selection of reworks for this remixes ep.
left to their own devises to pick what tracks to remix, the individuals own tastes came to the fore. the advent unsurprising opted for the twisted techno killer >eden acid< while cari lekebusch jumped at reworking the crazily tripped out >rz-fun< and alexi delanos low-slung mix of >nightdrive< is beautifully melancholic and deeply intense with fizzing percussion.

somewhere up in the sky… thats the spirit, good and bad, for legends and other space-cowboys. the space for original characters like elbee bad, who did his thing back in new york in the 80ties with his early house ep on nu groove- with just a big bang and elbee was there, from the very beginning to now. by now he lives and works in berlin and yet remained a true school house pioneer that even dj hell couldnt resist to capture his talent for a retro-perspective release of his on >international deejay gigolo< & peepz like matias aguayo and his cómeme-posse recall on him.

so finally, a new flight facilities song. one in the form of a single, featuring the beautiful vocals of a local talent named jess. titled >foreign language<. a tune that looks back on the last year of adventures and experiences, swoons us with smooth walking bass lines, classic house strings, loads of guitar noodling and anthemic vocals. all the perfect ingredients for a timeless summer anthem. what happens on the wax? flight facilities go for an extended drum work out, will saul - founder of aus and simple records - dubs it out with production partner tam cooper, sydney new comer rocco raimundo puts the edit touch on it and the super clean sweedish producers drop out orchestra amp it up to jamiroquai level of funk with a brand new bass lines, solos and classy solo

already played by sven väth, seth troxler. joris voorn, tiefschwarz, reboot... the london resident ross evana already excelled as dj at pacha nyc, at ministry of sound london or in the we love space series in ibiza. his track >thrilla in manila< first takes its time to build up before it sets a tremendously powerful exclamation mark on the dancefloor with its tropical-hypnotic percussions. with its second track, the ninth edition of cocoons 10 inch -series leads us to the land of the midnight sun. the two stockholm-born cousins alex caytas and aleks patz have started their musical collaboration only in 2007 but can already look back on a hand full of very good produced releases for the stuttgart-based label parquet recordings and the italian label caremella, as well as on remixes for martin dawson/king roc and voltique. >blue sea< shows the duos affinity to the energetic deep house techno of the nineties: with its organ sound, blues vocals and a highly infectous bass line, this track could almost pass as a modern and uncluttered version of st. germain, being predestined for warm summer nights. this is how techno sounds in 2011.

the advanced human - >air< ep is the latest deep offering from gynoid audio. rich with dub chords, atmosphere and reflection it is truly a celebration of living.....and breathing. the original offers up rolling dub keys surrounded by intricate percussion and a drive aimed at the dance floor. the ground loop remix finds itself rich with space and atmosphere while still lending from the dub influence of the original. markus suckut brings to the table a hypnotic dub influenced version to die for, all pushed a long nicely by a fat, low slung bassline and held in tension by the comings and goings of timely atmospherics. the raiz boys, as expected, move things back in a peak time direction by stepping up the rolling dub chords and putting the funk in the percussion. air. breathe. enjoy.
supported by: james ruskin, par grindvik, pfirter, ben sims, dustin zahn, nihad tule (drumcode), donor, audio injection, pacou, patrick lindsey, 88uw, mattias fridell and various others.

the wait is over ... the bomb has dropped! since grant dropped the classic mix at this years southport weekender back in may the phones havent stopped ringing for this one! if it wasn’t huge enough the last time out, the brand new remixes courtesy of none other than code reds own dj spen, delecto recordings christian alvarez & solar sounds honcho rob hayes have taken the track onto a whole new level – the classic is back, so hold on tight!

blue skies and late nights, camp fires and cheap delights and whisky drained straight from the jar. in a hammock slung below a sky of dreams and sea of stars lay a pop princess and a hip hop pioneer, arms entwined and eyes locked into each others stare they whisper sweet – nothings to each other, >you re flash< he says >take it slow< she purrs back >and dont even dont think about going down under!< a mile or two out to sea, floats what has come to be known as a mega-yacht. aboard his life like an episode of mtv cribs but with more parties and less gold-encrusted pool tables. surrounded by beauties by the bevy and sipping on gin and juice, duff scans the horizon with his telescope (solid platinum, encrusted with diamonds, built in infa red) and spies young love or a new hope. smiling to himself he thinks >they look different, younger perhaps at least changed, if not for the better but changed at least which is surely a good thing<. he turns to the girls on the boat, one hand pointing to the shore and the other raising his drink to the sky he shouts >i helped create that<.

hand stamped and numbered - limited to 300 copies worldwide!
on sat002 lovework/decisions, black light smoke shows off his pop sensibilities with two sing-a-long summer anthems-in-the-making. lovework is a no-wave-inspired ditty littered with catchy analog synths, an ass-shakin bassline and reverbed claps juxtapozed with a haunting processed vocal from the producer himself that repeats, >you made a mess of my head. now i gotta put it all back together. theres nothing to say, over and over…< which is how this tune will be playing in your head after one listen. on the flip we get a taste of black light smoke in deep house mode with decisions, a lustrous and vibey joint that features a sweeter vocal by suavecito, a new guise of dj/producer and vocalist who is well known by another name. here more analog synths produce wickedly buoyant bass lines and swirling pads that combine with bubbly piano stabs and little vocal sample/edits for what sounds like it could have been a naked music release had the label been operating in 1990.

for our 34th edition on remote area we welcome back david labeij!
a producer since 2006, david has been credited as one of the most promising artists in amsterdams new school scene giving him access to labels such as 100% pure and intacto, as well as finding fame as half of polder, a collaborative effort with lauhaus.
with his signature solo sound verging on the hypnotic side of house and techno, david continues to captivate the international party goers with his distinct and futuristic take on dance music.

fresh from the pleasures of introducing jon convex to the world, 3024 heads off on a pair of tangents for the next project. the 14th release marks the labels first split 12 inch - a result of 2 tracks falling in to their collective lap that were too good to wait for individual releases. despite the 2 very different acts involved, the symmetry in both musical background and production methodology makes for a record as coherent as any in the labels back catalogue, with both artists closely linked to both 3024 and martyns career.

after the last release for ec and paul ritchs quartz label, michel de hey and m.i.r.k.o. are back on hey! joining the forces are none less than rodriguez jr and juan sanchez. after a great summer for michel with his hey! events in clubs, beaches and festivals, it was time to deliver that vibe to the label again. with this new ep that mission is easily accomplished. the original tracks are typical for michel, tough but funky and made for the dancefloor. all tracks have proven their value at numerous nights, with >give me a light< as an anthem for (the now closed) catwalk in rotterdam, whilst the original version of >waiting and waiting< has proven to be a great closer to his festival sets.

back for his third release on hometown label thirtyonetwenty comes captain funktastic himself, william kouam djoko! if you have see him perform you know that this guy has the funk oozing through through his veins like a predatory viper going for the kill.
>cant lose my rhythm< takes you on a jazzy dreamscape, with of course all vocals are done by william himself which has become one of his signature trademarks.
>dazzling urbanite< takes thing a bit more down tempo, a perfect track to play when the first rays of light come shining throught the windows of the panorama bar.
last but not least we included remixes of the acclaimed classic >hard loving<, this time its kabale und liebe who does the honour, a name who doesnt need any further introduction!

acid jazzs rare mod series is a collection of vinyl eps, compilation albums and books that shines a light on the forgotten side of the british mod scene.
one such album is live 65 from kenny bernard & the wranglers, which is an extraordinary historical document that turned up at a car boot sale a couple of years back.

limited pressing on heavyweight vinyl! resista are back with their second release and another helping of daphnis studio power...

dikso from berlin drop another amazing ep ! after five super sound singles here is diksos very first artist ep and of course it will be daniel solars job to do the kick-off. his retrospect ep features the most zippy stuff dikso has released so far without being an ordinary house record. the percussion is minimalistically filigree, the atmosphere is fluffy and aniyas voice on >can you really know< comes direct from outer space... er... down under. dikso006 a1 - summer, sunshine, a picnic basket full of delicious food and wine and someone to share a walk in the park. sounds cheesy? yes, you are right... but remember that every park has its dark corners. dikso006 a2 - daniel teamed up with aniya ouu, the grand lady of >melbourne deepcast<, a blog from a few down under brothers and sisters in spirit. intercontinental and interblogospheric, interdisciplinary and... (fill in a word of your choice that begins with inter) dikso006 b1 - thee role model of deepslowmonudiscoeditchicagoacidwhateverhouse. after finishing two longplayers earlier this year he spent some time to refine daniels track. the original shines through but everything is a little bit deeper, darker, stronger. its still a walk in the park, but imagine the voices of owls and some undefinable dark shadows instead of wine, women & song. dikso006 b2 - we still have his brilliant ep for permanet vacation in our ears and synapses and now he is here with a stirring remix for prime times and big rooms. the boys from dikso borrowed pional, probably spains best kept secret, from john talabots hivern discs camp who delivers a real monster of a track. john, they have promised to give him back, later... someday... somehow

after the great success of solomuns love recycled ep, 2diy4 is back with the second installment of the series. the various artists ep showcases work by fresh talents as well as proven producers. a1 >deep in the three’ by thyladomid & adriatique is a groovy beast with a chunky bass-line, playful organic percussion and feists irresistible vocal. the track has already been receiving great response on the dancefloor. on the flip >young girl< a rework by peter kruder, member of the legendary kruder&dorfmeister, has a more mysterious vibe. the haunting, stretched vocal is counter-parted by a catchy groove that maintains the drive to the song. b2 >no giggity< by the young australian producer gary todd gets the groove on. giving a r&b ultra-classic a fresh polish he creates a catchy tool for the dancefloor.

houseworx is back with a talented artist from hungary called jaffa surfa, he already released several stuff on various labels before. on his new ep you will find two oldskool flavoured housetracks including two phat remixes by rio padice & matt star.

zeitlos, a german word meaning timeless is one way to describe chris wood & meats new ep, triple s. this is house of a different flavor, pulling influences from freestyle jazz and funk. we find ourselves late in the night. we enter triple s, a smoky cool atmosphere, relaxed and ready. light percussion leads us into the back, where a lone wandering bass line takes the stage. the simmer of hi hats and trample of toms usher in the kicks. chugging along, a single jazz flute, and sassy women punch through the fog. the strings rise and the bass sinks into the cellar. downplayed with style and elegance, triple s is the perfect track for half past midnight, opening the gates and pouring your body on to the dancefloor.

2011 is going very well for shlomi aber, having started the year with his dj sneak collaboration on be as one, followed by his acclaimed double album-remixes pack on ovum which are still all over the charts and dj boxes. now shlomi is back on his own label and takes things into a summery mood with the opening track >coconuts<, which is built around an hypnotizing synth melody, and shlomis uplifting smooth drums . on the other side is >who said that<, a rare vocal cut from shlomi which is a proper groover on the floor, with its minimalistic architecture but effective elements, surely something that will be picked up by many

julia porter, best known as miss jools, is the native londoner who cut her teeth and carved her niche in the uk capital, before making mobilee her musical home. her previous collaborative production outfit with audiofly sleeper thief brought her to wider attention in 2006 and then in 2008 she struck out on her own, undertaking solo work and discovering a penchant for slinky, late-night dancefloor sounds with releases such as >la luna< and >que me levante<, proving herself a diverse talent both in the dj booth and in the studio. after a short break, her new release on mobilee >walk away< brings her special musical flavour back to the floor. title track >walk away< it as much minimal and trippy, as it is dreamy and melodic. the same can be said for >whats going on< but this time a powerful vocal is layered over the freaky back drop. meanwhile on the b side >feel you< will keep you spinning. youll definitely find yourself dancing to one of these tracks in the early hours of the morning soon, if you are not playing them yourself…..enjoy!

detroits legendary red planet imprint is back !! with s slamming detroit release !! big one

the pioneer of tech house, terry lee brown junior is back on plastic city with his new album. he steps out his labyrinth with eyes wide open. searching for new ways to achieve his aims. the result is a very sensitive new album with all the love for music you can expect from terry lee brown junior.

played by: monika kruse, carlo lio, gregor tresher, tassilo, joris voorn, karotte, kaiserdisco, mauro picotto, hernan cattaneo, darren emerson and many more. the one thing that perhaps ties all of dj simis multifarious sounds and aliases together is his passion for distinct drums. his new sci+tec single >green twister< certainly fits. beginning with a stripped back, fuzzy bleep groove, the cut soon becomes a mechanized dancefloor workout thanks to a clear militaristic drum solo. this is classic simi. instead of building tension through sound fx or digital trickery, as so much of todays techno tends to do, >green twister< creates its dancefloor euphoria from a much simpler place: a drum pattern change. for the remix of >green twister<, sci+tec roped in naples danilo vigorito. vigoritos remix is straight up techno jacker. he builds a moody and intense atmosphere around the distinct drums of simis original. its a dark and foreboding club sound.

montreal imprint swing and skip drops its second 12 inch, featuring tracks from hotly tipped manchester producer damu, label head hgldt, and producer resketch on the remix duties. riding high from much media attention, serious dj support, and killer releases on local action and keysound approaching boiling point about now, damu grabs the headlines with >2010<, a deep funky roller combining the producers trademark mix of house, garage and eski influences. s&s captain hgldt delivers >knowing you< on the flip, a smooth and melodic house-x-garage jam supported by many, first on the list since months back being dusk & blackdown. finally, resketch follows up from his recent well rounded 12 inch with a remix of >knowing you<, going in for a deep and heavy garage-meets-dub techno hybrid.

tw is back with brand new original works on his own imprint. continuing in the spirit of the series & moving further light years into the future we welcome you into traversable wormhole vol 8. comes on gorgeous smokey red vinyl - transparent dark red, black marbled.

psychemagik return with another freash 12 inch of killer edits, firstly they give paula coles >feelin love< a new dimension by speeding it up around 120 bpm and adding the dirtiest nastiest synth swooshes thatll have even the hardest of dancefloors bursting with sexual tension! on the flip they settle back into balearic blissed out territory with another sunrise killer, their supreme rework of >wake up everybody< by harold melvin. their sparkly live piano solo and tight crispy drums take an already amazing track to epic new heights. just add yacht.

after their first cooperation on bigm in the previous year, prosper and rory hoy are back delivering an unbelieveable six pack of vintage styled powerful cheeky breaks and smooth cool grooving nufunk. with its variety this is a bomb on many floors and with 6 tunes an offer you shouldnt miss. so get dat boogie chase ep! rock n roll!

the zenker brothers grew up in munich, but in 1996 they moved to the countryside and their first adress outside of the bavarian capital was berg 10. shortly after that they got their first dog inti, he smelled like hell, but he was the loveliest dog you can imagine. although it was an intense change and not that easy at the beginning to move from a big city to a village with 5 houses, it was a really important experience for the brothers. and there was so much to discover: the beautiful mountains, lakes and forests, the local football team, the heavy bavarian accent and simply the different mentality on the countryside. all things they would never want to miss, but it was just a question of time to go back to the city. we are proud to present the first record from dario & marco. enjoy!

last year has been a little more quiet about dem birds but since they landed in their new studio the output is back where it should be. the demand for lovebirds is higher than ever especially after his current deephouse bomb featuring stee downes beautiful vocals on >want you in my soul< (winding road). the honeybadger ep referrs to the most badass animal on this planet. it simply doesnt give a shit about anything. and this is something lovebirds can relate to very well. should we also talk about music? well, maybe … >chasing things< is a deephouse peaktime funkmonster. its full on lovebirds sound - deephouse u can seriously party to and loose your cool. no 808 bassdrums either!! >running backwards< is a slick midtempo rat with some pretty badass drums and a kenny >fuckin< powers bassline that actually deserves the name, bitch! not to mention the heavenly breakdown with some of the smoothest guitars in this universe! last part of this heavy threesome is called >gives a shit< and is a nice oldskool tune with a heavy >let no man put asunder< bassline on top of some moodyman-ish chord stabs … ah, and i think brother marvin made it also on this one!!

this is first single cut from upcoming first collaboration album of minilogue & koss they have recorded at minilogue studio in malmo, sweden in the end of last year. then they brought back the recorded parts to own studio and put the each touch to the songs ... original of a side is minilogue manner hypnotic tech house but koss added his warm sounds. the result is a simple and timeless tune. on b side, new york deep houser dj qu remix is little bit more danceable than original. its for the fans of underground quality to lawrence to dj koze. the album is coming this autumn.

extremely welcome reissue of one of the shining stars of the boogie firmament - the hugely funky >its you thats happening< from little known band exquisite taste. originally released on tiny new york label starlite back in 1984, this was exquisite tastes only output but what the band lacked in quantity they made up for in quality. a near-perfect example of that early 80s boogie sound, this has it all - insistent mesmerising moog synth riffs, clean crisp percussion, layers of summery vibes and superb catchy vocals combine to make this an unstoppable dancefloor sensation. and thats just the vocal... on the flip, the instrumental is stunning with a sparser arrangement which highlights the grooving bassline, funky guitar work and echoing hypnotic drumwork. with the original 12” virtually impossible to get hold of, this quality reissue is an absolute must-have!

we love this record, it really puts the dub in dubstep. their first two releases have sold out and this has been doing well on promo which shows there is a real market out there for this style which really goes back to the early beginnings of how dubstep came about. on the a you are treated to a full vocal mix with lutan fyah in the booth and on the flip there is a dub mix which roles out nicely.
