the new kill a beat is coming straight from berlin! it s a split ep by the friends alex sander and lars wickinger. alex sander is well known by his label killabeat and last release on session deluxe with rekardo rivalo. he was living some years in sao paulo. there he worked as booking agent for intergroove. this time gave him a lot of influences for his music. his style is a hot mix of minimal electro and techhouse. now alex presents 1 track (nuit) for kill a beat. nuit is a very warm and soulful funky tech-house tune. you can really feel the spirit of south america in this track. nuit is rollin very percussive and groovy with some vocal snippets and typical south american folk elements. the second one is made by lars wickinger. after his releases on tanzbar and kachelfunk, he finally is back with funky buthole on kill a beat ! on the b-side is an amazing remix by andy kohlmann (lordag / extrasmart). his style is a little bit deeper and more minimalistic. this track is perfect for the current techhouse sound all around the world. the whole ep is definitely hot, and will bring the summer back to your hearts, during the cold fall months.

philip bader returns to saved with a killer new single called >summer big beat<. the track has been causing dancefloor damage this summer, being played by dc10s davide squillace and radio 1s pete tong. the track now gets a full release and to complete it, label boss nic fanciulli delivers a remix.

>bite sized beats vol. 1< has two smoking cuts from flapjack veteran wattie green. the first cut >flip mode< is a great throwback to the jack of i:cubes hit disco cubism. utilizing the same slammin key sample, wattie slices it up just right and puts in the smoker very early in the morning. after about 8 hours, it comes out and is seasoned to perfection with his solid beats and break wisdom resulting in one hell of a delicious dance floor bomb.

incl mutant clan & timo maas rmxs! the rhythm monks are masters of trance, searching to understand the fundamental essence of the drum. they are technicians of ecstacy. modern shamans. mystics. the song primal beat is based on a rhythm popular in the siguiri, kankan and kouroussa regions of africa. it was traditionally played to settle disputes among the men of the village. the two in conflict would dance the doundoumba in the bara among the village people. this would ensure the safety of the competition which lasts from dusk to dawn. for this track, the rhythm monks have joined forces with their friend and vocalist barbara panther.

on this fine piece of music he hooked up with good friend dark beat to create a beautyful piece of music with a quite melancholic undertone to it. this track has dc10 ibiza moments written all over it and will without a doubt get many plays this summer.
mendo delivers yet another high quality mix with his unique sound and clever remix skills. on >ballkanika< he took us by surprise by making a quite uplifting hook from the dark clarinet instrument. once again he showcases his talent for hearing what others dont and making this track an even more summer-ish tune with a hands in the air feel to it.

phat old school vocoder electro from germany! classic and timeless release from the audiosonic crew and electrodefender.

major mainstyle alert! the beat controller is a young, but already well- experienced dutch dj and party organizer (confusion events). besides his dj skills, he already made himself a name with the track >handz on my ballz< in cooperation with angerfist. the track was released on the last angerfist album >mutilate<.
now its time for his first solo ep. both original tracks are rather hard & kickin, but yet still melodic and absolutely dancefloor-orientated. distorted revelation, known for their successful releases on knor, deliver a stunning remix in their unique own style which will also do well on the floor. all in all, a very strong (maybe the strongest) release on important hardcore yet.
