another pumpin jackstar release, this time coming from new comers kamikaze & mr. eyez!! contains 3 pounding jackin tunes, including a bass heavy arkus p. remix.

return of the cocoon-proof techno don! some phat business from jaceks underwater lab - yet another exercise in his very own concept of combining minimal groove with maximal sound spectrum. and it works: solid mid-tempo rhythm carries what seems to be a thousand of layers of sound. meaty, bouncing bass stabs intertwine with washes of synthetic melodies, while percussion drops and unidentified samples swirl around in this bio-robotic monster of a tune. >green river< takes jaceks minimal obsession into cold outer space, where you can hear the planets spin and the only hope seems to be coming from a dying communication device... cold, stark and haunting, this is either work of a madman or truly the future now

luke viberts second album on planet mu brings together many strands of his work, drum and bass, trip-hop, breaks and acid. the album hangs together with the strands of acid, breakbeats, techno and disco at its heart, the reassuring hand of an old master triumphs again

wie die mobilmachung zum letzten grossen technomarsch, sägt der bass in mächtigen wogen 3 minuten lang nach vorne, um uns zu einer ebenso simplen, wie zwingenden glöckchenmelodie zu führen, die uns die tür ins reich der tausend signale & sirenen öffnet. auch sehr schön im groovigen geiger mix... played by sven väth

yes! format b are finally back with their second release on stil vor talent. after massive tracks on opposum and highgrade rec, their newest ep on stil vor talent is another huge minimal monster. kongo time is typical for the two berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum n bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. its definitely going to make you trip out for sure! on the flip its the funky mondo time that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. a huge organic subbass and some chopped-up vocal sample add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4:00 you really won t be able to hold your feet still. format b are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!

electro flavoured funked up house trax

next up on steppasoundz steps c.a.b.l.e. from brazil with the massively disgusting burning a multi layered blend of infinitely rolling breakbeats, filtered percussion & stomach churning bass. this track will pull your pants down & smack you across your arse with a plank of d&b varnished wood then spit in your face while you cry about it, in other words, its a little bit nasty! soul on the flip takes things a bit deeper with driving bass and skipping drum patterns. a soothing alternative to the blistering a side

2004 classic release feat gabi newman and montilla mixes

tango saty is a crazy dancer from klaus schulze. sounds huge on 12 inch and causes a storm of freaky dancing on the more discerning dancefloors with a wonky yet eminently groovy rhythmic structure and synth brass riffs that echo around in your head for days. when the bass drops its smiles all round. b shock r.e.r.b. is a classic piece of doomy yet uplifting cosmic elettro from london town that was a baldelli and loda play. getting increasingly hard to find on the original 12 inch and even if you do, this one is mastered with more weight and clarity

whilst their debut release i like you is still causing havoc on near by dancefloors, shimon & nixon are proving themselves a force to be reckoned with! the burbling bass of around the edge is destined for sun soaked dancefloors and homegrown festival tents alike. shimons junglist influences are evident, minimal keys sit atop warped synth lines and atmospheric vocals. whitenoise is more the instant club banger, taking a trip to the darker reaches. the omnipotent bassline pulsates its way into your brain and builds to a powerful breakdown then bashing its way back to the jugular

the long awaited new unit 4 release (on a highly limited amontillado pressing of 300 copies with hand printed sleeves). deep dark powerfull track with a unusual combination of a dusseldorfer (kraftwerk-ian) electronica loop and a massive techno-ish bassline and funny enough without any hi-hats which gives the track a strange tension. b-side is a stripped down version with a long intro and outro. the very power full bass and a catchy hook line (reminiscent of their body dub) makes this a monster track... check!

new offshoot to the mean record label – serialism records - combining avant-garde sounds with a seasoned technique for all things minimal. in this case >dried lubricant ep< is an example of quality which doesnt follow the common flow. on this 4 tracker, the classic breed of techno is harmonically mixed up with the quirkiness of our time. a various artist ep which doesnt eave space for misunderstandings. on the a side young frenchman cesar merveille and his obscure melodies and liquid bass lines takes us on moody journey followed by italian rico casazza who plays ironically with our heads in a more funked up style. on the b side ekkohaus opens up the dancefloor with heavy breaks and chorused rim shots while the fourth track from the brainchild of techno producer grimes adhesif delivers an industrial 909 style loopy piece. grimes is the label owner of mind your head records, and has produced tracks which have received much recognition from major djs and artists such as ricardo villalobos

after his collaboration with label head daniel stefanik for cargo edition 003, sven tasnadi steps up for his first solo release. >el fuego de dentro< features those typical relaxed grooves that remind us of endless mediterranean summer afterhours, hitting exactly that specific spot of abeyance between euphoric celebration and absolute physical exhaustion. his bass drum is never obtrusive but always compelling. svens tracks are ultimately funky, full of funny little sounds swirling around. and not to forget, with >2190 días contigo< mr. tasnadi reveals his epic qualities as well. with this record, mr. tasnadi definitely proves that he is a guy you need to watch out for in the future.

after a successful label launch with eps by tigerskin and spektre heimatmelodie now presents an all new artist, alfredo clonk. and this guy is one to watch as he has a completely original sound aesthetic, something which you can say of only very few artists. the a-side >doppelkorn< (a german high percent alcoholic drink) is a primetime mixture of driving 909 beats, whissping snaredrums and groovy sequences which spontaneously bring the slogan >rave is back!< to your mind. a bit deeper appears b1, >back to bombay<, a dark bass-synth on a techy percussion basement puts the dancers into a relaxed groove

das süsseste aller microcosm cover bis jetzt. und die anderen davor waren auch nicht gerade hässlich. alleine deswegen muss man die platte schon kaufen. die musik ist - richtig! - minimal, verspielt, verknurpselt aber mit einem sehr dicken bass ausgestattet. socks and sandals sind im übrigen noch nicht nach berlin gezogen, glauben wir!
