rob paine solo ep, featuring a wicked 2-step/broken beat mix.

desolat 011 is franck roger at his best: raw-edged and stripped-down house tracks for your pleasure.

italian broken beat / tribal house, made in 2002 by sergio casu. same version on both sides.

akin to deconstruction itself, >the gift< symbolised the credible mid 90s dance hit. surrounded by a fog of cheap commercial fodder, way out wests roberta flack-sampling crossover anthem shone like a beacon, reaching the top 15 of the uk singles chart in 1996.
kicking off the new package is way out wests own 2010 remix. toughening up the original break based drums and adding a few new synth lines is all wow needed to do to breath a second life in their ubiquitous track.
gui borattos remix takes the track into deep tech house territory. gui flips the track to a straight 4/4 beat, adding some organic percussion, side chained chords and his trademark warm distorted synths to create a truly euphoric groove.

we finally did it: we proudly present to you our very first vinyl by none other than mr. sean oneil aka someone else, the mastermind behind foundsound records! known for his awesome releases on various labels and for filling dancefloors all over the world, he delivers a cool club track called >zebra talk<. driven by a heavy, minimal beat, this track offers freaky vocal lines, spooky breaks and enough tension to keep the crowd moving. we also provide you with some great remixes: the first one by miskate is a more deconstructed approach to the original track, featuring loads of percussion and neatly arranged breaks, surrounded by massive reverb. the second remix is by the argentinian producer omar salgado. a groovy new bassline and full of deep variation, this moves the track into a different direction.

twisted friction across a beat with balls, packed with sizzling intrigue, shredded white noise snippets wrapped in throbbing beats - mr. pete tong in love with it!

>scrub the tub< with its crowd baiting piano riff and floor shattering bassline is a certain smash. as is >beat the dirt< on the flip with its disco flavoured, funk guitar mastery.

driven by many musical styles both, herbst & blecha spend hours sitting in their small, freezing basement studio, twiddling knobs, djing on weekends and drinking loads of sweet, cheap and sticky orange lemonade. now the work of these two talented producers is rewarded with their first common release. jove is a melodic tech-house piece containing one of those catchy bass lines that will still be sticking in your ear long after the track has finished. well fitting to summer the track ôshilpaö takes you on a smooth trip and will form the perfect transition from your club night experience to watching the sunrise afterwards. the zoo brazil rmx of ôjoveö is a crisp piece that shall evoke your best summer nights you have spent this season. each time the kick drum lets go of your body in a break, you will just get carried away, throw your hands in the air and then fall back into the beat and just smile!

jumping afro-beat instrumental scorcher by tiger stripes on the a-side. oldschool-house instrumental with trancy chords and rich string orchestration on the flip very much like recent kerri chandler output.

a new name appears in the hispanic techno scene: architectural, label and author, all in one. but who is the mind that draws the plans with this new pseudonym. we still ignore it, but this one, who has wanted to give free rein to the creativity that beat under his skin, has sculpted the first tracks that you will be able to listen, from a solid matter base composed by pure sonic techno with minimalist touches from chicago, with detroit streaks and forged alloy derived from the most genuine soul.

the creative swing alliance consist of the 2 producers pablo valentino and steven-j. pablo is responsible for the faces records label & his recent subdivion called motor city drum ensemble. steven-j released records on compost records, soultronik & jazzmin and played double bass for the japanese jazz band >sleepwalker<. they both come from the city of strasbourg fr, shared turntables & droped parties for more than 10 years together. the concept for the csa project was very simple: they locked themselves for one week in pablos attic to work 7 days on 7 tracks all named after the days of the week. bonzzaj records selected for this 12inch their 3 favourite tracks: on >monday< pablo and steven-j created a heavy opener for their project. bumpy they riding their mpc with a deep diving bass and wonderful synths. simbad turned the original >monday< into a heavyweight soulful dancefloor filler mashed with good old west-london broken beats. an essential dj weapon! naturally within the week you can hear some different moods while other friends/artists where passing in the studio...for example on >thursday<, when kira neris joined the alliance to create a spaced-out and captivating disco journey with a wonderful soul sample. last but not least, >saturday<: dusty old jazz records and beat generation hip hop for the b-boys and b-girls! raw! strong stuff for fans of bullion, onra, the linkwood family, etc! limited edition... so you better watch out

datenzauber is electronic dance music following the traces of krautrock-electronica. datenzauber is a crossing of 1/8-bass rock beat and shuffle romanticism with a minimalist disco feeling. datenzauber takes kraftwerks and klaus schulzes analogue soundscapes over the digital highway back on to the dancefloor again. datenzauber commutes in an electric car between cologne and dusseldorf. datenzauber has fun with the necessary seriousness. datenzauber is free of sampling residues, yet nevertheless its historicising, because datenzauber is non-retro, electronic music feeling from the 1970s for 2010. happy new year.

scream is a trip through vocal-like echo chambers that is losing itself within the depth of reverb, its oriental aesthetics being similarly credible as the tidy bass beat is. nobody else has catapulted baby fords ifach sound into the year 2010 as consequently as sis did.

the second release of >vibes - new&rare music< brings rick wilhites long time friend and fellow 3chairs producer theo parrish to the table. theo gives us an adventurous ride like only theo can. starting out on a blues tip, this track morphs into a string laden jazz affair without missing a beat. epic stuff!
on the b-side its a one-way ride to chicago with ricardo miranda blasting on the car stereo. this relative newcomer, who has recorded for hour house is your rush and vega records, really outdoes himself on >urbanism<. as we cruise into town, heading straight to lakeshore drive, this track kicks off so soulful, yet so raw! it reminds us of the best days of prescription underground, on which this easily could have been released. addictive.

with 2009s magnificiently deep >cone ep< raudive aka oliver ho became an integral part of the ever brilliant macro family. the man is in there for a reason. now he drops one of macros most dancefloor-centered, yet distinctively future forward outings so far. >paper< - the chord, the bass, the strings! all deepness ingredients are there and it would be just classic if it wasnt raudive in control, whose chord is rather acoustic than synthetic, whose strings are rather xenakis than detroit - and whose bassline is just pumping genius blasting any reference system. but its a double pack of excessive excellence. >brittle< is papers evil sister and a giant step in groove design, throwing the thrills of the unknown right at your dancefloor. its repetitious, maniacal vexation patterns put any record to shame that has ever been called hypnotic. 2010 is right here. the ep is rounded off with the shimmering >sienna< - a no-beat melodic variaton set against the warmth of grainy crackle. one of the most thrilling releases by one of the most thrilling labels

kaden remix played by ricardo villalobos!!! eignaoda is a paradise portayed in the mind of matias muten. its easy to imagine it on hearing the different rhythms and melodies which intertwine together leaving not one beat free of emotion. as it unfurls, we become enshrouded in a peculiar world which is rich in textures, steeped in spirituality and oriental chords, having an ending open to a long mingling of harmonies which will be the delight of the more ingenious djs.

here comes the second release on the pattern repeat label. pattern repeat is a new music-project and label by kenneth christiansen, echocord & echocord colour label boss, and his partner dennis bøg aka resoe, running the baum label.the pattern repeat label will only contains productions from kenneth & dennis, and the music is focused on the modern berlin techno sound today, dubstep and dub-techno. pattern repeat will also release records on other labels, so far the first one is out on echocord colour. kenneth and dennis met eachother 8 years ago when they worked together in at that time famous copenhagen-record-shop >loud<, which closed 5 years ago. at that time dennis was more into broken beat, hip-hop and deep house. kenneth was already running the label echocord, and soon dennis started his label baum. the label baum is also like echocord, releasing dub-techno, and dennis started to release his own material as resoe, and builded up his studio the years after. 1 year ago we decided to try to do a new project together, working together in the studio, and now pattern repeat is born.

the one-two kick drum beat that starts “in the dark of the night” functions as a bit of a tease. instead of merely establishing the languid pace of the track, it has the power of suggestion, and its stark nakedness raises the question of what will happen after the music fully launches. a few seconds later, a punch-drunk, flanging keyboard is the first clue that the listener is in for an off-kilter ride, the sauntering bassline that next appears adds a springy, funk bounce. but it’s the tripped-out, multi-tracked vocals of fernando miranda rios, aka michoacan, the producer behind this slow reveal, that give the song its peculiar, space-yvibe. it’s like david byrne with funk aspirations and a vaguely cosmic feel. the b-side remix, courtesy of italy’s clap rules, feels like more of a re-build. the song has been taken apart and put back together with brand new parts. instead of more relaxed, dazed funk at the core, it’s a glittery, disco-ball splattered track with glossy keys all around.

here is finally the first single from yakine, a close member to the eklo family. after his featuring on the hooksey vol.1, he gave us four tracks which he worked specially for this ep. yakine explored a new sound, some more melodic and deeper works, different from his usual stuff. captor of sin, the main track here. we find yakine in a more pop dimension with the vocals. the metric rhythm is mix it up with sub and perky shuffle grooves, everything harmonized through a lead ambiance made of weird synts & pads. then shirp, lead from synths, the track go on in the same vibe, more excentric and percussive, rounded beat, and a slap bass, 80s funk type. on the flip, temptation, a more singular track, a great detroit techno influenced, with his unusual keys and some indus sounds. the story ending with aferone, a deep and sensitive balad, overhang by a poetic piano coming and going all along. solid and versatile 12 inch.

this pack incl the maxi cd ... incl mendo remix !! played by nick curly, karotte, richie hawtin, slam, anthony collins, gorge! fog & arara. zwei griechen, die auf dem besten weg sind, sich schnurstracks in die herzen der clubber zu spielen. zunächst machten sie mit einem tollen release auf dem label beef records auf sich aufmerksam, jetzt legen sie noch eine schippe drauf und lassen es auf brise records ordentlich krachen. dazu benötigen sie nicht mehr als ihre beiden original tracks, denen es zu keinem zeitpunkt an groove fehlt. >palmaflava< besticht durch einen überaus straighten beat und wummernde tiefbasseinlagen. nach dem break, hands-up garantie! >sweetburning< groovt sich unermüdlich voran, ehe orientalisch angehauchte vocals für auflockerung sorgen. noch einen draufgesetzt hat mendo (cadenza rec.) mit einem fulminanten remix. wer hierbei noch stillstehen kann, hört volksmusik oder sollte sich einmal ordentlich beim arzt durchchecken lassen. einer der geheimtipps des frühjahrs!

the in the box e.p. is a fine example of niedermeier & whiteheads no-nonsense style, combining melodic, muscular grooves with deep basses and balearic percussion, the e.p. is a slice of raw tech and deep house class. with a relentless funky beat, in the box pays homage to classic tech-house form whilst maintaining a tracky musical edge that highlights the pairs dj background. with their penchant for diversity, short fuse is something truly unique, quirky pads and filtered fx gives this track a deep house vibe whilst a smoky lead ensures the techy theme is maintained. tales of old has all the essences of modern deep techno, it rolls along with a straightforward beat and a clean unpretentious production flavour. the simple vocal stabs and smooth fx hits are driven along by a wonderfully deep timpani that shakes some air but never interferes with the warm, round sub bass pining the groove together. lastly is out of place, a deep grooving track with an aggressive manner. through a series of dynamic peaks and troughs, technoid percussion and funky vocal hits, this track provides an appropriate addition to this perfect release

>hollow hills< keeps the psychedelic side of riley reinholds music up, which he has released since his first release on disko b in 1995 (red flare ep). jittering voices, sounds that ricochet and basslines that come like little earthquakes. the 11 minute epic >hollow hills< works similar to the waves at the beach, constantly featuring irregular shapes and never repeating itself. the track has been remixed by french artist gohan, who lives in paris and who has electrified the track with his vision of modern daring electronica, bordering on music the glorious wishmountain did in the past. finally domestic musical impact comes from the cologne musician oeler who has made a tougher and more elaborate percussive beat, the core element of his interpretation of >hollow hills<.

in case you havent figured it out yet, kompakt loves tradition and as you know, we have had a longstanding affair with our beloved japanese producer extraordinaire hiroshi watanabe aka kaito. his 2009 full length trust (komcd74) showcased a deeper, more matured side to kaitos now classic sound.
so with every kaito album comes the custom - the beatless versions. that said, we proudly offer your ears and that was the way - watanabe effortlessly has brought together three of the lead tunes from trust through into the calm waters of his ambient bliss.
so you have and that was the way…kaito once again demonstrates his magic that goes on behind the beat.

the loop:
this nice, funky, underground and late night beat eddie put down represents his origins of funky detroit house fillers … also, columbia style vox sample is a killer on the floor for the best djs with skills ...
let my nuts hang:
eddie fowlkes should change his last name to funky … the whole track is letting his nuts hang for 24 years of putting out release! the groove is out cold, plus what eddie is saying in the track is really true!

return of spanish artist, dj and producer raul mezcolanza that we saw on some labels techno. raul delivers us 3 tracks exceptional funky filtred, with of big break to boost the dance floor, charged with groove including the clasics melodys that we have all in our memories.

nice price deal !!! a deep melodic bass line and mesmerizing arp lines adding weight to a otherwise straight beat, resulting in a fine example of what nick chacona sounds of today. watch out!

esperanza strikes back and does it deep! on this release we have rosarios icon franco cinelli. establishing himself more and more as one of the most respected artists in argentina, francos response to the praising is nothing but better music every second. on the a side cinelli brings us >the sound of the city<, a trippy dubby affair with a perfect balance between modern sounds and oldschool drums. while on the flip, >joint non stop< honours its title with its super driving bass and groovy almost tribalish beat programming but still keeping the dubby flavour of the a-side. enjoy your martini and, of course, another classy affair from mr cinelli

repress on grey marbled vinyl of an 1999 brothers vibe production, featuring tony rodriguez, eddie cruz, todd gardner and kick affiliates.
attantion! low quality pressing - crackling sounds! sorry

like a live transmission from the party you wish you were at, the golden handshake ep is the first offspring of proud parents (and clubbing royalty) numbers. the labels debut release showcases the considerable talents of low limit and lando kal (aka lazer sword), who should need no introduction to the discerning beat freak having roundly assaulted the ears of audiences worldwide with their unbelievable live show and hundred thousand reaching mix tapes.

heres a mighty steamroller of a track by funky californian cole medina, co-founder of the house arrest label, that aims to put the ghetto back in house music, and esteemed producer with a jazz background championed by the haute-volee of current disco and house djs. while his slo-mo bee-gees cut-up is still the center-piece of numerous latenight/ early morning sleaze hours worldwide, >red hot< is quite another beast: footstomping peak-time action with dangling funk guitar and dubby brass stabs. finally dropping after todd terje already included it in his resident advisor almost two years back with an additional stellar the mole ( wagon repair, philpot ) on the support. canadas funkdoobiest reconstructs it in a jacking, midtempo wild pitch manner around a dirty fuzzy bassline plus cut-up beat and wah-wah guitar that will slap you silly. this hurts so good!

brilliant raw berlin techno cut from milton bradley (do not resist the beat) on prologue
