tiefschwarz beckon you to dominate my sensation with their latest single on the boys own souvenir. and with its booty-shaking, bass-bumpin funky house vibe, its ripe for the plucking on dancefloors across the world. the title track kicks things off with a dual attack of bass and hi-hat, urging us into its insistent groove. then it takes a firmer hold with its sultry vocals, shaking us around a bit in the process. with the carnivalesque atmosphere of seamy summers in rio, we welcome a funky percussive workout into the mix while a synthline squiggles around us. the breaks saucy vocal instructs us to allow entry into our very own adventure, percussion building to peak levels. lost in the moment, none can resist this kick, and bodies are lost in a dizzying swirl. b-sides include an energetic reimagining from the labels very own frankfurters, chris wood and meat, fresh from their recent smash triple s ep on souvenir and pascal feos & frank leicher manage to dial up the sleaze quotient, murking out the bassline and distorting the vocal.

rounding off what has been a busy year for idle hands comes a 12 inch from west country residents outboxx. this duo, comprised of jacob martin (aka hodge) and matthew lambert have steadily built a reputation for themselves with releases on well rounded and immerse. moving away from the dominant trends in bass music the pair have been forging a sound more akin to early nineties deep house - yet retaining a palette of 2011 sounds. here they present two tracks - >aporia< is a lesson in wistful house, all pianos and a sneeky bass drop half way through the tune. >cromwell< is a straight ahead house roller, but with enough sub to keep the bass enthusiasts happy. support so far from ramadanman and sven weiseman.

a new plangent release is always a pleasure. recondite rapidly established his name with his first 2 releases on his own label, initially been pressed up in a small run of handful white labels, but picked up by the clone guys and since then each release is being pressed in small +-300 copies editions. small intimate techno music bridging the gap between the gentle late 90s early 00s electronica and deeper german techno from labels such as smallville, dial and giegling (and sometimes even linking to some brittish bass music). seductive tracks that slowly build up and make time go by in the most gentle and pleasant way!

kowton and tom dicicco, residing in bristol and manchester respectively, make very different music from one another. kowtons seems to come from house, perhaps also electro and garage, often quite slow in tempo and hard to pin down to a specific genre. toms music is techno, bass heavy, melodic, textured and rooted around 125 bpm. with these distinctive styles the idea of a split ep might seem ambitious, but the result is four cohesive but different tracks that show the talents of both artists perfectly in the format of two originals on one side and two remixes of each others originals on the other. tom diciccos original is driven by a low-mid range thick stab and pounding kick drum, littered with intricate but not overbearing hi hat and snare work and some very atmospheric mid range. kowtons is subtle and sparse, low fidelity and plodding, with rattling percusion carrying the tune along. on the other side of the record, kowtons remix of toms original is driven by an enormous bassline, with an off kilter dubby feel to the slow tempo and genre defying tune. toms remix of kowton rounds off the ep with a return to stab driven techno, pulsating, dynamic and trance inducing.

local talk is proud to present the first release on their sub-label 1nce again. this is where we bring back classic and forgotten house gems from back in the day with new mixes and reworks. for our first release we have gone back to 97 and a producer known and respected worldwide in the house music community with more than 200 production credits under his belt. joshua michaels aka joshua iz perhaps best known for his collabs with dwayne washington as iz & diz but has of course used many other pseudonyms over the years for releases on labels like prescription, balance, classic, junior boys own, om and guidance. the return was first released on heard, sub-label to tom middletons evolution / universal language productions ltd. using his moniker circulation. the track can easily be described as a mammoth house track, clocking in just over 12 minutes. its one of those pieces of music that’s stood the test of time and why iz has been a major force in electronic music for so many years. on the flip much hyped duo prommer & barck stripped it down from its original costume leaving not much left of the source material resulting in something that we best could describe as old school warehouse meets uk bass. its pretty raw and definitely a basement sureshot!

>hold on< has been given the inimitable touch of deep house master marcus worgull. a classically trained musician like kabuki, he has stripped the track and used jennas vocals stabs to create a exquisite minimal groove to stunning effects. rising drum and bass star eveson has been given >generation x< to remix, and his <ode to a rave generation< is exactly what it is: keeping the haunting synth loop throughout, slowing the track down to finally go back to a rave-friendly 140 bpm with vintage breaks, and making the most of paul st hilaires colourful voice. the result is as awesome as skreams recent >burning up<.

hugo barritt was a promoter at londons infamous egg venue, during which time he focused his attention on robert owens residency at the club. a friendship was struck up and when hugo finally decided to leave to concentrate on production he could think of no-one better to provide the vocals to you are than the most recognisable voice in dance music, mr owens himself.befitting such a wonderful coupling, efdemin heard the track and agreed immediately to provide the remix,and a splendidly slick ride it is too, taking the merest hints of roberts vocal whilst injecting a melodic feel for a blissed out ride through the early hours. contrast that with high octane thrills of murmur regular tom demacs remix - dispensing with the subtleties of the original in favour of a power house ride of beats and bass, warping roberts vocal into something altogether sleazier.

nice price deal !!! the third, somewhat overdue, installment of andy blakes cave paintings series finally sees the light of day. all the cave paintings releases are one-take analogue excursions constructed by machines and recorded live in new cross gate and mastered for vinyl in hackney.3x is a close cousin of 2y.a simple but dramatically effective warmly buzzing bassline is clambered all over by layers of interlocking pure analogue percussion.machine funk meets the locking crew for a warehouse showdown.3y heads into thus far uncharted territory. an evil, growling lfo driven bass underpins militaristic percussion thats slammed hard into ancient spring reverbs and accompanied by the sound of synthesisers being choked to death. heads down strobe-lit dancefloor action.

housemeister is back with his big new single >weird friends<! with us-indie-rapper p.o.s spittin the truth on the mic and housis signature heavy beats, this one is a no brainer. the acid-guitar line weaving its way into your brain and huge drum fills keeping things interesting, this effort is sure to stand out in any set! >weird friends< remixes from so hot twr72 who deliver a solid tech-dub, obi blanche who adds a funky live bass ala cypress hill meets smith n hack and our favourite brazilians mixhell deliver a tropical disco-rave mix with epic drumfills by hero iggor cavalera. finally and not to forget on this weird single release >hirschkeule<, the original version taken from housemeisters new album >music is awesome< - out now!

following vincenzos astonishing recent album, >wherever i lay my head<, which really elevated the producers status into the stratosphere, we continue the story with three new remixes, from cult legend tom middleton, smooth-talking newcomers genius of time, and talented uk-based mic newman. tom middleton, who needs no introduction as the legendary producer behind such classic projects as the jedi knights, global communication and cosmos, hands in a modern deep techno remix that shimmers with melody and dubbed out echoes of the original version of >sometimes saturday<. leaning towards epic, with moody old-school synth builds set against contemporary punching bass tones, it certainly doesnt disappoint. swedens maverick slow-housers genius of time rework vincenzos >106 downtown< which is also a work of genius in its own right. the boys add sensitive, detailed down-tempo beats with some wonderful warm swirling vibes mic newman transforms >hello!< into a crafty fresh tech-house groover with his dub remix. floating, ethereal synths mix with bubbling acid and liquid beats in this seriously smooth and complex mix.

just like different fishes can be found in different grounds, also the acoustic tales of the micronaut take place in different regions of the emotional landscape: sometimes warm, sometimes fresh – sometimes calm and stagnant, sometimes lively and floating. and just like all the fishes are connected by the water surrounding them, also this album has its connecting element: a very individual and independent groove. this groove comes with a lot of surprises. for instance, when a guitar chord from the acoustic band atmosphere of gruen- dling suddenly gets tangled up in a loop and introduces an unexpected but coherent change into the direction of broken, electronic beats. or when the emotional world music elements of schleie mix up with exciting halfstep rhythms. sophi- sticated arrangements, unusual instrumentations and intense emotions- these are the main attributes of friedfisch . though the experimental character of this work does not really aim the dance floor, it still keeps connected to this place: two sensitive remixes by mollono.bass represent the upbeat for an entire series, being exclusively released on vinyl.

ryan elliott has long been our not-so-secret weapon, lending his curatorial mastery to the massive spectral sound vol. 3 compilation, megamixingspectral 25, and of course by representing on turntables the world over. but after a mere handful of remix credits, he charges out of the gates with his first spectral production, kicking up. deep bass and snares hurtle ever forward, assisted by occasional, faint sonic flourishes and a bevy of throwback vocal loops, but is otherwise devoid of sustained melody. if nothing impedes the supercharged, supersexual, super-detroit momentum of kicking up, the stablo no. remix dials back the tech and pushes its house to the fore. shakers, claps, echo and a whole lot of lateral motion imbues elliott s take-no-prisoners original with a surprising conviviality.

continuing on his intergalactic journey traversable wormhole now enters into the portal entitled volume 9 >world line< is a hypnotic dark tonal 4/4 deep bass driven affair thatm intensifies in relative velocity as it travels through four dimenisional spacetime. switching back momentarily into the third dimension we enter into >present hypersurface< a punchy percussive broken beat affair layered spacial droning string tones & melodious thick analgous white noise. in question now is if the present is the past and or is the future the present and when if at all does it end?

whether on his own or with nick hoppner as my my lee jones has been djing and making music for more than a decade. in 2008 jones released his debut full-length lp “electronic frank” on aus music. his solo releases and remixes have appeared on labels such as aus music, ostgut ton, liebe*detail and cityfox and last year, he did his first ever mix cd for the world famous watergate club. next up from the talented producer is a futuristic 4-tracker on aus, incl 2 remixes from george fitzgerald and midland. for the lead track moment, jones offers up a bass driven house number that hints at his jazz roots whilst pushing forward into garage territory. for the remix, george fitzgerald delivers his most straight up, heads down house production to date. next up is duvel, a characteristically quirky jones production, bouncy and deep all at once but with a bass line that will hold its own at peak time. midland steps up for the remix, twisting it into a moody multi-genre convergence like only he can.

its been 16 years since aquasky first started bashing out the beats on moving shadow and 10 years since they released the mind altering >777< on botchit & scarper. during these 16 years aquasky have messed about with most genres at most tempos... but always retaining their trademark bass and their retro rave vibes. and here we are... the first ep from their long awaited follow up album to >teamplayers< released on passenger back in 2006. going back to their tear-out roots and fully embracing the modern production sound of now along with a firm 140bpm footing, aquasky come out fighting. >raise the devil< is an albums worth of tracks that will awaken your inner devil... powerful, noisy, aggressive and militant. taking it back to the days when people partied hard in abandoned warehouses and muddy fields. but, i expect you know all of that already... its what aquasky do, and its what they do well!

new label drum clone start things off with this banging track from man of the moment shufunk. big beats and warping bass collide creating this strong first release. on the flip watch out for the vital elementz drumstep mix which has been causing quite a stir.

pleasure has put a lot of hard work into this project and its paying off. >cradle< and >slosh pit< have been getting a lot of love in clubs and on the air waves. the production is clean, crisp and the bass will blow your socks off. keep it coming killa bytes.

the original horsemen concept was initially conceived by 4 minds coming together through one unifying vision. those minds were of: ink, loxy, keaton and dylan. carving out their own unique take on drum & bass. fusing together specific elements that would form the fundamental cornerstones of the horsemen sound: raw original sampled breaks, heavy sub bass and dub elements. this style and concept has since seeped into the consciousness of a new wave of producers across the globe and has influenced and evolved into the sonics presented here on this album. ink and loxy in conjunction with renegade hardware are proud to present: horsementality...
dj support: ink, loxy, cern, marky, alix perez, spy, btk, optiv, sabre, bailey (1xtra) , flight (rinse fm) + many more.

they came from the deepest woods of the former udssr!ostblockschlampen, >the bitches from the eastern block< is markus lange and his cohort vanilla, two electro terrorists that have been rocking the boat and kicking in doors across  the nation.>bitches from ostblock< features a whos who of upstart producers including modek, stereofunk..bass bass bass...but you say who??? wir sind die bitches!

uncanny the label that took everyone by surprise comes with more goodness! the third artist-ep by dresden-based label comes from house- and hip hop-mastermind cuthead and is nothing less than a proper power package. with vibratin things start off as deep as the bottom of the sea. underneath cutheads dense drums there is an intense and meditating synth line which is eventually complimented by an acid figure as if it was an evil twin. brother rolls in with a mighty kick drum, before a catchy sample and not less catchy piano motives prepare for a propitiating end. with transgressions and its bass line for the bigger floors things get down to house business once again. the remaining two tracks then give an impression of what happens, if cuthead takes to the mpc for his liveset. in seram lembah und heartless cuthead combines his drumming with south east asian disco-mantras und bittersweet blues chants to heavy hip-hop-grooves. loving it!

supported by: alex agore, skipson, roman rauch, marquese, drei farbenhouse,ynks second ep for tenderpark approaches the subject tenderness with a lot of feel for musicality: on dana limes the young man from frankfurt combines gentle piano melodies with multi-faceted, powerful rhythms and a feld recording the musician has recorded in helsinki.park theme relies on an even more subtle feld recording from a small park in vienna, slows down the tempo and delights us with a deep black bass groove.and with the piano piece etude ynk not only proves his love for this instrument once more, but also shows compositional skills which reach way beyond the standards in the electronic music scene.

first time only on decks.de !!! gianluca meloni - ostinate sin (original) - solid track, no mercy, obsessively sinusoidal but with intense harmonic colors growing through infinite, showing gianlucas long experience as musician and producer.
gianluca meloni - ostinate sin (dino sabatini remix) an erupting volcano maybe is the best way to define the crazy rhythmic of this remix, killer dynamics bass frequencies and psicoharmonic filter treatment over noise generated percussions shifting sound perception, to be used with care, to avoid dancefloor explosion!

sometime you cant keep a good remix down, and we certainly felt that with these two beastly versions by two very exciting producers of bass music.

coloured vinyl: solid dark green and white mixed. after tokyo prose successful entrance onto the scene with their introducing series creativity began to flow. a series of collaborations with numerous producers began and it was inevitable some of these would bare great results. phil tangent had one of the singles of 2010 for marcus intalex soul:r label and was a perfect creative partner for the ideas charged tokyo prose. >parity< marries the pairs styles perfectly, with a euphoric vocal tempered by subtle gliding beats and bass. >rearview< is a sign of what drum and bass is missing in 2011. smooth, deep and soulful music that reminds us again how powerfully emotive the genre can be.
dj support from marcus intalex, dj marky, spectrasoul, presha and more to come..

played by sven väth !!! night voyage tool kit is the collaborative project of two like-minded producers, night slugs bok bok and tom trago, curator of the rush hour labels voyage direct series. originally commissioned by sound pellegrino label boss teki latex, this is the result of four intense days and nights in toms amsterdam studio, surrounded by hardware and enshrouded in a thick haze. having pursued very different directions in their respective solo work, the duo find common ground in minimalism, dj tools, the neptunes and ghetto house. the result is a collection of stripped down rhythm tracks aimed straight for the club: the arpeggiator workout of pathfinder, vectors cosmic jeep bass, pom clash and its grimey lil louis tribute, and the acid epic lil ma bonus beat.

after two years an-2 is breaking the silence with his new ep demonstrating a fully refreshed sonic palette he has been in the search of. built over a quirky synth bass line, >beside me< is filled with all the right melodic elements that walk a thin line between sounding baroque yet minimalistic at the same time. >chronos<, named after the greek god of time, rolls on like the second hand on a clock face - surely fit for an early night dance floor it will never become an anachronism in your record collection. and finally, >dare< which combines all the usual suspects: a funky bass guitar, dreamy arpeggios and ethereal pads - is set to please any discerning crowd!

next detroit - chicago bomb by echonomist. incl huge john dimas remix. like an aficionado of acid house echonomist returns with a stormer on third wave. this time his hyped chord progressions resolve into a groove that is more or less a reminiscence of the hacienda days. dans mon salon sings in black shades >i feel for you<, >to lock with a groove that i crave for<. a praise to jack, a praise to the way of jack. ultimately, >jack had a groove. and from this groove came the grooves of all grooves<… john dimas goes deeper underground with a simple primitive like pulsating groove. the insistent bass line tone (that slowly unravels an opening filter) clearly connects to old skool techniques of acid house masters.

komisch welcomes another new artist to its fold for its last release of 2011.p.god aka paolo dioguardi hails from naples in italy. still in his 20s, he makes music that belies his youth and neptune iv sounds like the work of a veteran producer. lead track approaching an ocean planet sees grainy, dense beats and hypntoic bleeps take the lead, but hovering above the arrangement, tethered to the reverberated, doubled up claps, are ghostly, eerie chords. the title track adopts a similar approach, with bursts of metallic percussion underscoring spacey pads as p.god drops a droning, tunneling rhythm track. finally, geometric shadows on iced surfaces sees the young producer opt for a deeper approach. this time the chords envelop a purring groove, but the same sense of understated menace is still audible thanks to the austere hats and bleak subsonic bass. capturing jeff millss estoeric side and the hypnotic magic of sleeparchive, neptune iv is a real techno journey!

having released his booty ep on mobilee earlier this year, ray okpara has quickly become a very popular member of the mobilee extended team. with releases in the past on labels such as oslo, get physical and especially on his own label ama recordings, he is well renowned for his signature style house groove and soulful flavour, and hes bringing his sound back to mobilee once more with his brand new ep blues me blues. coming as both an original and instrumental, blues me blues,is atmospheric and hypnotic, sprinkled with a beautiful vocal. meanwhile bounce to this will wake the dance floor out of any kind of hypnosis with its punching bass line and hip house vocal. lastly hideout is the deeper and calmer compliment, balancing out the whole ep and providing a satisfying amount of variety. enjoy!
