the labeldebute from be that as it may is served by ricardo esposito and michael nadje, with friendly support from luke hess.
the a-side of the record is the epic title track >nieves<, that in a straight way controls the nightly events on the basement floors. nieves is without a doubt taking each and every clubber on a mind trip. thanks to the drums in various arrangements, in combination with the heavy bass, nieves generates a forcing groove that even makes the floor dance.
luke hess reshapes nieves in a consisting and open way. with the given resources the remix is coming to an unsurpassed dynamic, which through percussion and dubby chord patterns is impressively direct. with this interpretation hess respectfully completes the release with sovereignty. vivantes is a classic tool which builds on the foundations of dub and rhythm. through the strongly repetitive pattern vivantes developes to something meditative, grounding the listener at the end of a journey of this extended play.
it is what it is.

sorry , now its sold out....finally a handful of this crazy rare release arrived - be quick or just hear it played by others. pressing on purple vinyl.

part iii boasts contributions from portland, oregons performance art and house music group the miracles club (following releases on cut copys cutters label and famed mexican summer), wurst vet nick chacona - here with longtime partner anthony mansfield, and neurotic drum bands ulysses. the miracles clubs >i cant help it< is a heart-wrenching, ethereal ballad set atop a rock solid, chicago house-inspired rhythm section. easily the deepest cut to emerge from the nick chacona and anthony mansfields fun-filled studio sessions, >tase the wizard< is tailor made for desert raves and smoky basement clubs alike. >soular power< sees ulysses at the top of his talents, bringing the tempo way, way down for a slow-burning balearic beast.

samuels debut for tartelet records is a three-track lesson in diversity. using the dingy dive bars and trance-inducing techno clubs of copenhagen as his playground, producer/dj samuel andré madsen is fast on his way to becoming an internationally recognized exponent of timeless techno and classic, effervescent house.

the tribute series continues its search for those essential balearic dj gems with number 5 in the series.
familiar inspiration is given a fresh twist through some tender love and care (rumoured to be the work of leftside wobble), bringing it alive again and ready for those special dance floor moments. cut loud on single-sided heavy vinyl, you can enjoy it on the beach, in the basement, or on any kind of dance floor.

once again, erol alkan and boys noize have teamed up, for what has become a stunning re-imagining of last years smash single >avalanche<. determined to avoid a taking an obvious route, the pair originally intended to commision a spoken word interpretation - the natural choice was the melifluous jarvis cocker. on the remix tip the duo enlist the maestro himself ewan pearson, who supplies the deeper underground re-version, that reroutes proceedings to dubbed out berlin basement afterhours to stunning effect. not to be out done, hot talent canblaster interprets the original as a low-slung bleeptastic old-school electro workout that rounds the package off in glorious style.

time 4 harmony in this world from moss opens with the title track that is a 15 minute ride of percussive elements, atmospheric synths and melodies. resonant on the flip is a exquisite piece of experimentation & a day trip thru divination rounds off the ep with a slow tempod basement track.

during a stay in munich anthony shake shakir heard a demo version of the song >hammering< and was so thrilled by it, that he decided he wanted to release it on his own label frictional.
striking about the 12-inch is the way it was done. the basement is the track >hammering<, a techno track that uses a sample of a work song from an historical recording dating from the 1930s. the swinging-souly voices are combined with a clear and funky beat that pushes you forward, and you wont forget the voice for a long time, even after the track has been listened to multiple times.after that anthony shake shakir created a remix that afterwards was again remixed by splits & slits.

here comes the new echocord colour. after some big releases with luke hess, skudge, sebastien san, mikkel metal & resoe here comes the next bomb, this time by mike dehnert. this is the second ep by mike dehnert on echocord colour. we are presenting one of the currently most interesting berlin modern techno music producers today. he is founder of the label fachwerk records on which he is publishing under his own name. his live acts and dj sets are as remarkable as his productions and you wont ever hear him playing any self-pleasing or incidental grooves. mostly mike is playing his own unpublished tracks. he did just put his ability to the test within collabarations with clone rec and the clone basement series. for the new echocord colour he did 2 striped killer berlin flavoured techno-dub/house tracks, for all dancefloors out there. it also includes a remix by roman lindau

how do you follow-up last years monster mr.spock? of course with something even more ghetto, more dirty and more fun. lezgo is the 2nd collaboration between justin martin and ardalan, a curious bay area duo of master and apprentice that seems to be magic in the studio. this time they delve deep into the footwork meets house sound delivering cool r&b respites inside mega booty grooves for 3 minutes then letting down the hammer on the kick drum in the finale that kills every time. this is the type of tune that gets everyone moving and smiling and makes you wish you had 10 of them just like it in your bag. i ve played this to every type of crowd from techno chin scratchers to college kids, festival crowds, london know-it-alls, fund raising 40+ year olds, deep house heads, post dubsteppers, basement afterpartiers, hip-hop crews, disco kids and straight up ravers. it works everywhere and thats the sign of a big tune.

after being introduced with his >life on titan ep< on mathematics this dope rising producer brings his debut full-length containing some of the best & freshest sounding material of present day house. dirty beats, lo-fi gritty melodies with mind crushing energy. this is essential. 10 tracks total

limited edition release of 250 handnumbered copies, made by simon ratcliffe of basement jaxx fame.

devonte haynes ist schon seit jahren sehr umtriebig in der indie-musikwelt. neben seinen eigenen projekten (testicicles / lightspeed champion) schrieb er unter anderem auch hits für florence & the machine, basement jaxx, theophilus london und solange knowles! irgendwann dazwischen entstand sein neuestes schaffenswerk >coastal grooves< unter dem namen blood orange. diese remix 12 inch ist der zweite teil aus der 12 inch serie, welche vor dem fantastischen album, das ende august erscheint, veröffentlicht wird, und sie enthält je einen mix von bottin und bicep.

for all the wonderfully subtle shell-breaking he did on his full-length, mark e falls back on old, slow habits for his new single, >the day<. and welcomely, we might add. pitching things down to a basement lounge floor crawl, the midlands dj/producer wraps his always chugging kicks and snares in serpentine synth-bass, jazzy, tripleted hi-hats, and moaning, wordless soul vocals. its grasp is tantric—hinting coyly at ecstatic release, but never fully delivering. for the vinyl junkies that bought stone breaker and missed out on it the first time around (it was absent from that version), this release should be a no brainer. but >the day< isnt carrying all the weight here. a new track called >special fx< will have sample hounds—particularly those with a thing for classic electro-pop—salivating. and the oft imitated, never replicated prins thomas shows up on the flip for a (naturally) eleven- minute revamp of >the day<, livening up the bass and drum patterns, adding in strings, piano, guitar, organ, and ending up with something that totally could have emanated from a camaro at some point in the early seventies. (albeit, one owned by someone with interest in eleven-minute instrumentals.) it even has a fade out!

the band recorded cadenza last summer locked in a salford basement experimenting and stretching their songs into new and unexpected shapes. produced by brendan williams and phil bulleyment they’ve created an album that, whilst drawing on the eccentricities of sparks, the piano methods of steve reich and the unhinged prog-pop of the cardiacs, has at its heart a real pop pulse.

for release no.4 sudden drop enlisted the talents of russian based recording artist & dj tripmastaz, who has been producing for the likes of morris audio and most noticeably dj sneaks magnetic recordings imprint since 2004. with each release his sound seems to get more defined and mature and our attention which seriously pricked when we first heard his tracks being played on jus-eds radio show. we quickly got in touch and asked for some tracks. first up is >utilized stock sounds<, originally produced in 2003 this melancholic slab of deep techno deservedly finally sees the light of day with a grimy lo-fi feel and enough dance floor nous to work the floor admirably. flip side track >botinko dub< injects a big, cavernous bass line and razor sharp hats n snares.

follow up to the highly acclaimed first numbers#1 release which was massively supported by adam beyer, laurent garnier, speedy j, carlo lio, timo maas, slam, technasia, oliver ho, terence fixmer, lucy, x-press 2, phil kieran, paco osuna, tony rohr & many more. emerson once again expresses all his passion for raw techno and rolling grooves with the tune >non human beat<. heavy beats with an analog feel and loud drums keep spinning and building around noisy crisp techno. the original track was remixed by markus suckut delievering a modern techno track, adding some energetic hi hats and leaving out some of the peak elements for some extra dub. markus is currently working for well established labels like stroboscopic artefacts and len fakis figure imprint.
support from speedy j, luke slater, dubfire, electric indigo, timo maas, luciano …

limited backstock, old skool classics.

after rising very quickly to the top of the pile with his own brand of no nonsense beats and bass party rockers, pimpsoul delivers a full original artist ep on the home of all things dancefloor, bombstrikes! and we think it s a scorcher.

next funky and cool groovin bereal release, this time by marius laurentiu & andrea bigi

second installment on colourful has tobias linden, orange muse returning with some serious summer heat. the terrace mix with it’s euphoric piano hook and vocal chants against a funky backdrop will be perfect for those late decadent summer nights. the basement mix is an altogether different affair, stripping all the elements, featuring a raw synth hook to build the tension. bouncy with prominent percussion this mix still carries the uplifting, spiritual feel of the terrace mix. stepping up to remix is none other than the beats maestro himself, mr. kenny dope. drawing on the past, adding a splash of new, kenny comes really fresh on this one. raw, dry beats, deep bass drops and a sax hook to match the vox snippets - this is one piece of fierce floor action! add to that an instrumental and the colorful year of 2011 is in full gear– what else do you need?

its now more than 20 years that arnaud le texier started his dj career in the west of france and in the paris club scene. since he moved to london five years ago, le texier has been able to put his stamp on the european techno scene, being label head of safari electronique and regular dj at fabric. his debut ep for cocoon recordings is borne by le texiers deep understanding of melancholy melodies, especially >elusanes< with its piano keystrokes coming directly from the basement and the ample detroit strings proves with hymn-like intensity that deep sensuality and unquestioning dancefloor ecstasy can be two sides of the same medal. besides a beat-less version of >elusanes<, the hypnotic >nightleads< with its bass guitar theme does already whet your appetite for the next sunrise in the balearic dunes

andreas gehm returns to the mathematics imprint for another round of sick cuts. this is voodoo opens with an eerie basement banger that is followed by all soul day, a deeper journey into his production. the return of ra kicks up the dark acid while the title track ends the ep with more tech.

crazy p return to 2020vision with their first new material since the stop space return album. the mts series is a chance for jim & chris to get back to basics and produce some club tracks for their in demand dj sets, before they reconvene with the rest of the band for their next album. already making waves with both of their soloexcursions (ron basejam and hot toddy), they team up here for two perfect examples of their trademark disco and house vibes. crazy p are quite rightly held in great esteem from some of the hippest names around, wolf & lamb, jamie jones and tensnake to name three. they have been ploughing their own deep disco furrow for many years waiting for fashion to catch them up, and now can take the plaudits for being figureheads of this uk scene. my love is a superb raw house cut, thats custom built for sweaty basement sessions, influenced by classic us house. make me wanna takes a moreunk riffs and diva vocals. both of superb examples of the amazing crazy p sound and have had unanimous glowing feedback from the few people lucky enough to have heard them so far

new fresh vinyl only release from vidd based in stockholm - related to farden records. subliminal sounds by the italian marco shuttle who delivers an brilliant executed slice of dark basement techno. on the a-side a track that will creates a stir on the floor and that kills it on prime time with its hypnotic female vocal hookline. one of those tracks that stands out and gets people to the dj and ask what that track was that he just played! the b-side is a dark epic track with a phat metallic detroit-ish basslines and a frantic spaced out athmosphere... perfect material for a deep dark basement session. limited pressing of 300 copies.

this is the first release from throttler recordings, with 2 tracks focused on the dark cutting edge drum&bass side. the opening is made by a smashing head banger feeding the dance floor with bass at 180. no hostages alive. pure mayhem. on the other side awaits a forward thinking warstep built on sophisticated beats and surrounded by dark guilty ambience. a must have both for the living room and basement decks.

ed davenport is the next artist to have his say on len fakis figure spc imprint, taking his distinctive slant on late night body music into a new personal dimension. stretching out over 10 minutes, >take heart< throbs like a first love, dizzy on pheromones and the promise of kneetrembling basement action. fellow uk-import-to-berlin mama provides the telling vocal message. on the flip, eds >weird organ< is a straight up floor-troubling weapon - dark, taut and bristling with malevolent energy. perhaps his heaviest moment to date!?

emerging from afternoon studio sessions, the final scores, too many beers and then nights in an upstairs room at their local boozer, discomendments aka lee fisher (of mother >all funked up< fame) and paul kaminski have developed into a fine production unit who are into anything and everything. having started out cutting and pasting edits for their own dj use, they are now focusing on original productions that fuse different styles and genres from past to present. sleeping giant, their debut release on maxi discs, borrows unashamedly from the early network house sound, but fuses it perfectly with contemporary slo-mo house, disco and balearic vibes. whether on the beach or in the basement, the discomendments sound is equally at home! on the flip side, maxi label boss, pete herbert, turns up the heat and reworks the original into a dancefloor bomb. while disco deviant dicky trisco keeps his eye firmly on the mirror ball with a lo-slung ny influenced workout. listening to the sounds of maxi discs is guaranteed to release the pressure
