supported by alex attias (planet e), italoboyz, karotte, sebo k, raresh, d julz, funk d void. michael melchner is barely at the beginning of his twenties. at the moment deep house of the late nineties has to take a shine to him. in the detail it gets clear, that this is not only a copy of an epoch, but a certain vibe, which is going to be transferred into the present. this vibe with his warm sound, the well dosed house beats and a strong musical sense is hearable, but this sounds by no means antiquated. on a-side several instruments like percussions, xylophone and samples of an mexican trumpet make sure that there isn’t only an exiting variety shortly before or after the primetime, but also a proper portion of itchy feet. with the both tracks on the flip-side the whole spectrum of michael melchner becomes clear, at the one hand a clear view on the dance floor with classical house beats and on the other hand a musical character, which one misses in many current productions. >chen chen< is slightly more co plicated and more rhythmic whilst >nothing happened< is a pleasing leaned back dramaturgical subtle house piece with a distinctive bass line and interspersed voice samples.

opener >playing for keeps< is an exhilarating trip, centered around a swinging mapped by crunching beats. chopped and skewed, pulsing electro house melodies fight for attention with sampled cuts of big band, tiring to a slow and heavy halt before picking themselves up and punching it out to close. >playing for daddy’s girl< is an equally agitated reprise, introducing distorted 8-bit melodic tones and a throbbing deep bass into the fray as a sampled audience cheers on the ensuing battle for the listeners attention. on the b side, the mole transforms >playing for keeps< into a driving house number, with subtly escalating melodic synth growing into a deep and hypnotic dark electro sweat fest

after the successful sunchase 12, luxaflex keeps pushing the beats. hollands freshest imprint proudly presents jelle kuipers! a massive talent heading from the netherlands already gaining serious attention with his debut ep block on shadowfax. for this ep hebrings us domien, a filthy futuristic crawler with a catch you can t hide from. on the a side no less than rino cerrone gives domien a rework, now this is a mint production that has funk written alover it

incl john acquaviva & steve nash rmxs !! cirrus is another smashing killer tune by markus binapfl & patrick buck aka kaiser souzai. the 9th release on beatmodul is going to be a massiv club tune. tribal beats, with harmonic melodies are important elements of the well known kaiser souzai techhouse sound. after their latest hits like >girl you ll be a woman soon< and >monique< on rotor rec, and with >altocumulus floccus< on yellow tail, we have now a successful follow up hit called >cirrus<. the vinyl package contains the original mix, a john acquaviva remix and a steve nash remix.

the 4th release on the label sees whistla wearing his 2-step influences proud with 2 tracks of off kilter garage beats, heaven oozes swing and groove. the bass line bubbles around a twisted vocal line whipping any listener into a frenzy which will see them swiveling across any dancefloor, studio or bedroom

after a short introduction as a remixer on the >prismatic ep< kevin over demonstrates his production skills. kevin alone at the home-studio surprises in a musical way. level one: >dollycluster< with its click-beats and latin-inspired sounds gives a impression of the summer-parties at dc10. level two: sennhs deep and happy rework dives gentle into sunset. level three: >forrest dump< is a luminous tech-house masterpiece of the 21st century

straight from the pink slow studio, david garcet strikes us with 4 new cuts. the a1 is simply said a good floorfiller. expect some straight forward beats and percussion work with that characteristic bleepy synth line being used to full effect. the >monday mix< is yet pretty mellow. the synths have come down a bit and the arpeggios are more upfront for that melancholic vibe.

dark but somehow funky techno killer. after having massive support from all the major players during 2007 (hawtin, garnier, 2000 & one, mr. c, wink, troy pierce), esperanza strikes back in 2008 with the comeback of franco cinelli to the label. franco introduces us two oldschool infused bombs with intricate sounds that won t go out of your mind for a long time.

francesco assenza and dlo are fresh to the scene with just a couple of records out on unpolite recordings. that they are big talents they proof here on the 6th release of the very succesfull minisketch 10inch series. on the a-side we hear deep pulsating beats with a groovin drive that just make you want to wobble. the flip is even funkier with a smooth driving bassline

phonogenics >postcard< is slow burner, building and rising to a eventual climax of melancholic underwater deepness. this song will no doubt be played by those in the later time slots and anyone who wants to add a little journey to their mixes. our main man dex aka dave barker is back with another slice of some quality melodic quirky goodness. >yikes!< has a very chopped up funk/soul feel mixed with solid house beats. studio trickery and a hidden japanese opera helps the track evolve from its soulful beginning to another world entirely. finally, we are very pleased to bring you the first of many musical efforts from amantu wilde. not much is known about amantu as he is a bit of a recluse and does not offer up much information about himself. >g-g-got my eyes on you< is a very retro sounding track reminiscent of some classic new wave jams. pseudo industrial percussion and excellent filter work make this track something to remember. something strange for sure but we think people will like the break from the mod rn sounds

mo rotation is the next step in the history of westpark units 80s funk influences they started with blaxrotation and fits well within the sound of today! always sexy, dope, deep & dubby. proper thang is as deep as jeep and builds up in the typical westpark unit style with some demanding but tricky drumpatterns and a wicked bassline. to surprise, the duo added some old school snippets into the drop, put them into a different context and present a jewel of a bangin deep house tune with one of the most enthusiastic moments when the beats come back in. mo rotation sets up with just some shakers, a demanding percussion loop, a booming bass and needs almost 5 minutes to get things started. when the bassdrum finally drops in, the club is already near ecstasy while the music takes a small step from 1983 to 2008 and a deep masterpiece

nice price deal !!! includes part iii feat cassidy in a swizz beats remix. flip for the allstar mix of part ii feat john doe

napiheds out of detroit are reggie dokes, maurice herd (aka pirahna head) and craig huckaby (brother of mike huckaby), who came up with an exciting, live instrumentated blend of brazil flavoured funk vibes a la azymuth or early earth, wind & fire and earthy detroit house beats... limited repress

following the escape from chaos here comes second release of the brand new phonic platform bauns. after the success of the debut ep, the duo composed by gianni pellecchia and maurizio vitiello release bauns 02. the deep woody beats, the massive bass line and the filtered voice of banus, on the long side, make it an optimal element given by gianni pellecchia, for increasing the pressure

ferrer and sydenham having been knocking out some superb stuff on the ibadan label recently, and sandcastles doesnt break the streak, with its sublime piano line coming into its own late in the mix after a lengthy lead in of subtle percussion, throbbing kickdrum and stellar synth play. a warm and lush track, the cut builds through the beats, to the piano line and finally to vocal refrain and a wall of synth strings that round this track off perfectly.

after several releases for atificial beats/protect/hostage, here is the debut smaher of dj arcane on the skull tunes sub-label synopsis! hard and devastating sounds for all the hardfloors

kne deep is a&r ed by the one and only emperor of hard techno, dj rush. the next kd in line is by dj arcane, who did some braindamaging stuff on labels like lars klein s compressed, artificial beats etc.

deep and spaced out tracks, the best being the deep detroit tinged mix from atjazz with some smart juno synth work and jacking machine beats.

second set of remixes for this genre straddling track, featuring the vocal talents of soul sensation in waiting, ben westbeech. marrying the kraakers future funk and hip hop beats with a sensational perfomance from the young bristolian made this track a sure bet as the first choice single although the band did release a couple of warm up eps to remind everyone why their debut album boogie angst was a worldwide success. here trevor loveys, mainstay of the dubsided label, originator of the fidget house sound alongside switch, sinden and jesse rose and partner of herve in the huge selling speakerjunk project, turns in a hot vocal remix that pumps the track towards a different dancefloor altogether. he also found time to serve up a tasty dub that neatly crosses the divide between bassline and techy fidget house. one for the festivals this summer no doubt!

>ohhhh this is nice!< shit robot (dfa) >j adore that thing!< joakim (tigersushi) >very good edits< jerry bouthier (boombox) >really enjoying them. definitely want to play them of my radio show< tim sweeney (beats in space) >many thanks for these, all of them are fantastic.. groove me have been fave of mine for yonks..< pete herbert >i really like -that thing- and -my time- your time< nico de céglia >these edits are really great< matt walsh (turbo rec) >straight shooter is hot< jacques renault (runaway) >thanks for these edits< andreas leander (24hours blog) >those 3 edits are great especially the groove me edit which is a great favourite track of mine< alex from tokyo > love the edits but my fave of cosmo is still that pete shelley one!< roy dank (xlr8r) >great stuff!< dj morpheus >these edits rock !!! will play all three of them, this is just what i need in my sets! merci beaucoup cosmo< yannick labbé (tricski)

newcomer olivierdaysoul stroke hard with his >soul4u< joint for 4lux. taken from his upcoming 4lux album >kilowatt< is this sick tune >brain<, a dirty slo-mo headnodder with slammin beats, fat?ass wobbly minimoog bass and spacey 80s synths. produced by gerd and paulo for 4lux recordings. oliviers vocals are off the wall. remember to party because b for you know it the cops come put the cuffs on you! potion no. 9 is a sexy dancer. hip hop producer the unknown on the music, gerd fiddling the knobs & mr. daysoul himself in >smooth operator< mode... so ladies watch out!

incl argy remix !! tokyo s rising star ryo murakami has already put his diverse, electronic sound on the map with the >rise< ep on dessous last year, and received great praise for his track >my soul<, snapped up by steve bug for the fabric mix series, which was piled high with atmosphere and dark, club energy. his next 12 includes two new tracks, the title cut being >down the sky<, cooly influenced by old school house, but also more recent european forays into night music. ryo demonstrates a heavy aptitude for stripped down futurism, with staccato, jilted beats, joined by layers of padded synth structures, looming somewhere between light and darkness. the b side, ‚coke‘ (no questions asked) welcomes another one of ryo‘s extended journeys, this time a stronger, peak time groove which never lets off, and builds around layers of spaced out, pitching fx. brain-tingling pitching synths heat things up, before laying down a super-funk hook that melts on top of the beats irresistibly. ryo then leads us head-first into a series of spac d out, jacked-up movements, characterised by risque, feminine vocal snippets. poker flat‘s young greek maestro, argy, creates a stunning hi-tech remix of ‚down the sky,‘ complete with mesmeric dub influenced chord stabs and tripped out washes of delay. once again carrying on the vibe of the original, but twisting it into an altogether different beast, argy takes ryo‘s warm synth stabs and shapes the remix into a slow paced yet pumping club tool.
