stroke typifies the twisted darkness so prevalent in italian techno right now. constructed from a tight stripped back groove of low-humming bass and booming kicks the track bounces along against a off-kilter backdrop of acid ripped effects. a legend in techno, rino cerrone makes a welcome return to analytic trail with his remix. taking the late night feel of the original and evolving it over a tight shuffling groove the effect is to accentuate the warped vibe and discreet energy.

2004 collection of the biggest hits!!

incl maxi cd !! skail master m, a well known electro-techno-house duet from geneva, is back with a new ep, released on the fresh slim records label. champagne , first, a fluid and festive hymn, a vibrant mix of liquid sounds and sparkling rythm, full of a bright, clear lightness. miamore , then, with its smooth texture, slightly enhanced with fleeting, evanescent, almost impalpable beats. and at last, white chocolate , to conclude on a bright, shiny explosion of sensual shades, a playful blast of subtle tones and glowing resonances, soft impulses and sharp brilliances.

after the big feedback of mallory 007 ... they are back with a fuckin great release! in the 8th release there are 2 tracks by the magician burrini (one of the best confirmed italian surprise in europe) and gabriele carasco, one of the most old engineer produce from rome and famous all around the world for his big remixes. for sure >tu eres< will be an hit on the best tech_house dancefloor and >mahalageasca< will be one of the best stupid nasty tech_house hit of nye. its a great release!

multi vitamins hits the vinyl lovers back with phoids >kashmir< ep (number 20 for the labels mv series). originally from the adventurous and multicultural moscow, phoiod has already had a first appearance on the mvd7 series, with his >event horizon< track. his first 12 inch on multi vitamins is a complete journey into intelligent sounds and spontaneous musical actions that settle some serious dancing. >kashmir< hits forcibly and irresistibly with diverse non-western vocals that drives the listeners in a trippy destination. right to the point, this track has a strict minimal bassline with a mystical story that needs to be...

clone classic cuts continues to dig in the crates to bring back forgotten or obscure records from the past! this is 3 tracks by da posse (produced by hula... one of the outthere brothers... and with maurice joshua, k fingers & martell). strings & its my life are chicagos take on detroit techno... a rare release that sounds like a early derrick may record (think the dance) but maybe slightly more straight forward (as one might expect from chicago). a rare piece in house and techno history since this is one of the rare examples of a record that doesnt show the clear difference between chicago and detroit in the late 80s. this record most likely got produced within 1 year after rhythm = rhythms legendary nude photo and strings of life releases (both 87 and this came out in 88). as extra bonus track we have the groove. a phat bass driven chicago acid track that still rocks it. another fine piece of powerful dance music history back in the spot light!

sound expression against world pressure by michelangelo, exium, elektrabel and stanislav tolkachev.

4 heavyweight tracks from niko marks

vindi had been played all october 09 by richie hawtin ! barraca music celebrate their second in the >love barraca love music< series with a continuation of all things groove related taking precedence once again. talented french producers acumen and timid boy start us of on the a-side giving the dj plenty of room to build and create with >vindi< and >londres< respectively. the b-side nudges up the tempo a bit with noidoi >deep down chicago< a track that has seen lots of heavy play across the globe by some big hitters. milans karm wraps up the b-side with his track >reika< bringing us back to a deeper melodic style.

here at the exprezoo headquarters we like to keep looking forward and to search for new and undiscovered talents, but we also like to go back to the sounds of our roots and, its not a secret, we are in love with neapolitan techno. blend these ingredients, stir for a while, and voila the fourth release on our catalog, by rio padice. actually, the kid isnt really a new one, since he s already had releases on welt,mosaiko, metroline limited and exprezoo digital besides being half of the new and hyped horacio project along with massi dl, but hes part of the new generation of neapolitan producers who keep going down the path started by marco carola and danilo vigorito. the a-side, don dragone, has a techno mood that we didnt feel for some time and that takes us back to when hardgroove was leading the dancefloors, updating and actualizing its sounds, while on the b-side elm street is made to satisfy the classiest tastes, taking the atmosphere towards a good-for-every-purpose dub techno. the last track on the ep, leviatano, keeps up the feeling we fell in love with on question and zenit, with funky percussions and sunny, warm synths.

dark beat is a new label from glasgow, set up to promote its own take on deep, dark atmospherical techno.
after the success of their digital releases this is our first dark beat remixes vinyl which has cuts from the very popular omen and untamed eps from label bosses deepbass & roman toletski.
on the a side we have oddity with a massive remix from mark broom. his remix of oddity is a no nonsense stripped back techno affair with a ripping synth line, the track teases you with a number off small drops before the massive atmospheric breakdown which would bring carnage on any dance floor.
on the b side we have the orb theory with a remix from edit select who seems to be able to to no wrong with his string of releases on his self named label edit select records. his remix explores the realms of atmospherical techno and has a straight up tribal feel about it, this track has been creating quite a fuss at berlins berghain during the early hours. the track has a percussive drive with rolling snares and a beautiful synth line that rises and fades throughout the track.
the tracks have been getting massive support from dubfire, len faki, jpls, ambivalent, drumcell, audio injection, dustin zahn, perc, dj emerson, alan fitzpatrick, alex bau, anderson noise, danny tenaglia, chris fortier, jim masters, par grindvik, hernan cattaneo, anthony pappa and luke slater.

analog people are back this time teaming up with 2 of the biggest names in house dj sneak & germanys ian pooley. superb!! current buzz chart #3

second release on the bounce by helixir on 7even recordings after his last digital dubby experience >xp dub / peace dub< in june! recognized as one of the most versatile of the new breed of french electronic music producers, the man from strasbourg is back this time with two bass-heavy productions in his own percussive style.
>convultions< is a real dancefloor weapon, the robotic riddim subtly brings a deep sub-bass becoming more and more insistent, the beats never stop evolving along the journey, the breaks hit your senses, pure badness from this ultra precise producer!
>let me drive now< brings you to a beautifully produced track through magical percussion, galactic synths and smoky atmospheres, somewhat akin to 2562s latest directions. a beautiful piece of music, tightly produced by helixir, who shows again his mastery of the studio and modern bass music.

special 2013 price !!! last copies left !!! glf is gene lefosse back again after his production credits on adr12 >this bassline<. best known for his >voodoo< style on imprints cocoon, convolute and stripped. >off the wagon< takes us on a journey. a rolling bass thump starts before swirling synths and mysterious stabs grab hold. a long build pauses the mix and the twist begins. hair on the neck experience. on the flip >tantra< is sexy, intense and very voodoo. a continuous climax for the dancefloor. only found on adr !!

subotnik strikes back with an excellent deep floating 4 track ep! incl andre kronert remix. big with scsi-9, piemont, mihalis safras, nick holder, solomun, florian meindl, mollono.bass, stephan bodzin and more..

played by: richie hawtin, raresh, cisco ferreira (the advent), matt star, xpansul, nicolas duvoisin, mirco violi, frank leicher, sebastian altstadt, locke aka dermaptera, sean o neal (someone else), jon gurd ...
igor jadranin aka en-tropic signs his new ep – >between two extremes<, for the record label underground limited.this release clearly proves igors unmatched talent and maturity in music production. the lead theme of this ep >between two extremes< – a very deep and powerful theme, carefully broken by rhythm and still a gentle and emotional jazzy looped composition – is surely my personal favorite from this release.cooperation with marko vukovic is embodied in the track >back again< – a minimal deep house filled with rhythm, not the kind of rhythm produced by percussions and other drumming instruments but rather by a cut vocal and dirty synth, which breathe soul into this theme.
>zero loss circuit<, which has an expressed club spirit, is the ideal piece for building an atmosphere in a club. igors music definitively deserves a spot on every good djs list.
(zoran petkovski review)

after almost a year in prison for shoplifting, laverne is finally out on probation and brings you an ep that moves from threatening messages (ass tosser) to valuable life lessons found in groove on & deep moves. the ep got full support in the penitentiary from the likes of slick rick, lil kim and a whole lot of bitches n hoes allegedly connected with the wu-tang. watch your back - the l train is comin!

nerven is back! just before the year is over we have an incredible great techno release by boris s.

huge release again on kazoo feat massive club techno bombs from giacomo stallone, label owners mat 303 & josh love plus a remix from ivan devero!

samuel knob funks his way back into barraca music via his tracks & bonus ep w/ uner & edu imbernon remix. a slice of grime for the dancefloor bound to gag and bump skirts in the air. how about adding two of the hottest names uner & edu imbernon to the mix and humping all night long to space loops and hammering percussive grooves. well the answer is clear...
supported by: steve bug, loco dice, reboot, seth troxler, raresh, cassy, andrew grant, ali nasser ...

supernature hasnt put a foot wrong since its inception back in late-2007 with a stream of fluid, percussive housereleases hitting the spot for an army of high profile jocks.
>el condor< by pele closes a great 2009 for the label and maintains the quality levels in fine style. with just a handful of original releases since 2005, mostly for the impeccable connaisseur imprint, patrick gallenmüller aka pele has managed to make a disproportionate impact on housemusic. his releases and remixes have seen massive support and a quick check on his myspace reveals a dj diary of artists twice as prolific - a testament to the quality of his work (and his djing). the title cut of this threetrack/one remix ep sees the bavarian producer present a track which combines the simplest of elements into a hynpotic yet memorable track.

the hedgehog is back again with release #6 under his spines - this time by ascion and remixed by d. carbone. expect nothing less but serious techno business in here.

massive deep underground jackin house !

back in the day, when i discovered the music from reggie dokes and the psychostasia label i felt something similar as when i listened for the first time the music from lil louis at the end of the 80s. i mean... is this music really house? it must be because all the good househeads play and respect his stuff... perhaps just for that different and unique way of make house...

mike wall strikes back! check the ascion remix!

after the massive success on his debut ep on kol mojito records, the mysterious sonntagskind hits back with this smashin tracks! you will love it!

ultraphat dbx / detroit influenced analog flavoured monster !!!

bolz bolz comes back at your full steam with this new release of ramped up crunchy dirty break beat waver. this is some of his best work yet with >lift going up< setting the tone of what is to come. bolz bolz has come along way and in this lp he really creates a new universe of sonic wonder.

the puzzling duo like tiger & woods is back. shrouded in mystery! again! no one knows where its coming from, no one knows where its going. special extended disco versions carefully tuned, remixed, over-dubbed, cut and sliced, housed-up and boggied-down - including a run-out-tool. this is what dj sneak could sound like today. limited shizzle. you know the deal. here today, gone tomorrow…

classic sounding track by two long going and respected techno heads.. fabrice lig and titonton. these guys take it back to the early nineties when techno was still fresh and new... the days that titonton and dan curtin were debuting with their sophisticated techno sound. raw funky 909 percussion, bleepy analogue synths and great warm string sounds and beautiful melodies. purist techno tracks that never go out of style and reminds the old blokes why we loved techno in that period so much. and it shows the young cats that there is more then the standard dj tool techno! beanfield is on remix duty here... and he delivers an updated modern dancefloor friendly house version with a great string section that reminds a bit of knights of the jaguar and a killer bassline after the break. check!

do this man ever sleep??!! after his incredible baby raw e.p. alongside sometime partner in crime coyu - which has been played and charted by so many of the most discerning, and well known djs this summer - the talented spaniard is back, with his second ep on diynamic. funky basslines, cool house-grooves and a touch of deepness throughout. we love it!!

new novamen.... after much sought-after releases on labels like murdercapital, bunker, viewlexx, mr pauli & dj overdose are back again and deliver the goods with 5 new slamming tracks in their trademark old-school electro style. razor-sharp beats, twisted bass-lines and sick vocoders... you know the drill. for the freaks!

nico purman is back for his third instalment on the marching band in the sky that we call our vakant home. purmans sound continues to evolve, covering truly large distances with every release. since his robostrobe inspired earlier vakant works tuesday ep (va017) and euphrasia ep (va025), nico drops 3 large-and-very-much-in-charge space jazz masterpieces that he fermented in what sounds like a midnineties new york house basement.

noir & fraser owen hooked up in late summer 2009 to create this monsterous samba tech house tune and spent 2 months testing the track, adjusting arrangement and details to make it 100% perfect.
>&u< always cause a stir in the clubs and usually make the residents djs go…… >wow! wtf is that ?????<we hope you you will react the same way ,o)
mendo & danny serrano did the >cool-factor< tech house remix of this tune. coming from releases on cadenza, suchreflex and get physical we are proud to have this remix in the package. quality tech house with the perfect house sound-of-now vibe.

not quite one year after his exceptional album sworn, anders ilar is back with his new cellular memories ep. its four tracks could be regarded as a safe cure for uninspired strictly functional dj-sets. you probably wont find many records which are that packed with enchanting sounds and melodies, longing emotions combined with infectious solid grooves. from the dubby back to square one, over the minimal massive 808 kicks in hazard ahead and the dramatic but blissful clicky and groovy ulterior motives, to the stunning choral epic ocean sonata, cellular memories ep is a musical pleasure and another masterpiece and of course a must for fans of anders ilar.

back in !!

musica sol y mar are pleased to offer their first release showcasing some of the most beautiful music played on the island of ibiza from the last 30 years, a style of music that has become known throughout the world as balearic. musica sol y mar is the brainchild of two djs originally from the spanish mainland but now settled in ibiza. they are deeply influenced by the music played by the likes of cafédel mar legend, jose padilla as well as phil mison and jon sa trinxa. this compilation provides a beautiful snapshot that will take anyone who has been to ibiza back to those long chilled days and nights on the white isle. for anyone who has not yet made it to the balearic paradise of ibiza, the music here will provide a tantalizing glimpse into the spiritual vibe to be found on the island. from the cool danish pop of laid back, through neo-flamenco courtesy of ottmar liebert to the ultra-chilled reggae grooves of gregory isaacs, balearic sound volumen uno is a broad church of musical styles. jean-luc pontys rare version of mory kante s ye ke ye ke is worth a special mention as it is now getting plays again from san antonio to the big apple. all tracks featured here are either long deleted on vinyl or are seeing a vinyl release for the first time. all tracks have been re mastered for maximum quality.

support from andre rozzo, alex jones, so inagawa, jamie jones, matthew styles-harris, laurent garnier, steve lawler, nic fanciulli. luna records is a new uk based label from respected club promoter/ dj/ producer paul bowen, the man behind middlesbroughs infamous >riff raff< events. the label is set to release music from some pretty well established artists with an emphasis on stripped back chunky house music and in that vein the debut single sees the much hailed german producer chris lattner step up get the imprint firing in the right direction. lattner has been djing for the best part of two decades, initially gracing the decks at hannover techno parties before word of his talent spread, seeing him strike out to play across germany. he has hosted a radioshow for australias pulse radio, worked as a booking agent for lessizmore and has had releases on labels such as einmaleins musik and wba. his passion for electronic music has shone through in everything he has done and led him to produce some great records, to which can now be added the luna debut >memory<. this single release kicks off with lattners original of >memory<, a solid tech driven slice of house with heavily effected vocal samples and a simple floor shaking groove. this is understated underground house music at its best, deep chunky and highly effective. first of the two remixes comes from ex-peace division man justin drake, who builds on the vibe of the original, thickening out the drums and layering some heavy filters over the sythn stabs to great effect. a straightforward and highly effective arrangement provides everything that is needed in this excellent reworking. finally we have a remix from bearweasel, who have been providing choice cuts in house music over the last year via labels such as tsuba, supernature, bloop and murmur. for their >lazy dub< they take things back to basics and turn in a slab of deep and dubby house with an emphasis on razor sharp percussion and earth moving bass. this is a superb debut from a label that is sure to become a major fixture in 2010.

excellent abe duque records special 3x 12 inch vinyl pack, contains tracks & remixes from abe duque, joey beltram, jay haze & glf

rush hour is proud to present a compilation of anthony shake shakirs best work from his own frictional label (and some choice output from 7th city) over the past 15 years. this limited edition 4x12 inch set comes with an exclusive two track 7 inch (only available with this pack). released 2 months in advance of the 3cd/digital formats…
the label shake started brought us some of the deepest, funkiest and most diverse techno of its time and has been surprisingly overlooked by many. after a few years hiatus, shake is now back and will be recording and releasing on frictional again soon.
this compilation includes all of the classics like >arise<, >frictionalized<, >get a feeling<, >my computer is an optimist<, >the floor filler< as well as an unreleased track >the other one<. all tracks have been carefully re-mastered, breathing new life into the original recordings.

vivace is a project of stephen hitchell (cv313, echospace, intrusion) and is a unique hybrid of deep house, dub, jazz, & soul, a sort of new school/old school fusion which pays homage to chicago house heroes like chez damier & ron trent in their prescription era but with a modern twist. this project is the continuation of his previous soultek material initially featured on germanys force tracks & force inc family of labels back at the start of the century. the title track in its original form is a sub-aquatic journey through space and bass, as deep as you would come to expect from an echospace production but the sound palette has changed, shifting into a world filled with ambience and free form jazz. the use of live instrumentation & vocals are a driving force behind this project and add a depth and soul oceans deep, its like melting in sonic butter. the soultek mix is a frenzy of edits, funked up and sounds like it could be a schizophrenics take on house music, brendon moeller dives deep into soul, shifting and morphing the original into a proper late night house jam you could only imagine derrick carter or theo parrish dropping at the wee hours of the morning. the closing intrusion mix gives the original a frosty lime green haze best absorbed while inhaling, real trippy stuff. this first release has already earned countless play from francois k and in its inception (as soultek) was hailed as >jacks echo -- the future sound of chicago< by de-bug magazine, germany
