rene amesz is back with a bang with this excellent single on rising music. rene is at his best on this sleazy, low down dirty slab of tech house. his characteristic beats slide along underneath a filthy bassline and mesmerizing vocal loop. plenty of soaring synths keep this track building and building the whole way through. an essential track for every main room from london to sydney.

on their introductory minus ep, click box offers a refreshing return to a bygone era of classic instrumentals, full of experimentation and passion generated by that ongoing love affair between man and machine. berlin shades starts out in a jittery minimal fashion but soon dives much deeper as the tough electro bassline expands and contracts dragging the dancer to and fro. the cascading hook and in-your-face sci-fi synth motif add a sense of tongue-in-cheek drama to a dynamic arrangement that incorporates steep inclines, sharp drops and snaking pathways. as the short staccato bass riff gains momentum and the hook comes round for the second time you just know somethings lying in wait and the boys certainly dont disappoint. lost road is anything but a blind alley, kicking off with some low-slung interplay between a two-note bassline and a whiplash snare that dishes out a serious spanking. hi-hats fizz across the audio spectrum, cleverly pitching up and down before a drunken bass sequence ushers in the main section with its sliding, twisted synth distortions primed for surprise and immediate disorientation. once all the elements are in play, the fun really starts with so many objects of interest competing for attention. the arrangement is pulled and pushed to great effect extracting maximum effect from this tough little unit. more electro flavour to the fore as the loose, broken beat intro and robot sounds of some toys make for some slick moves on the dancefloor. the retro synth riffs and dark spiralling pads conjure up images of some early 80s lab full of computer kids in white coats twiddling knobs on huge mainframe monoliths. the bouncing bass and analogue belches make this a must for all retro-tastic electro-boogie fans. the theme continues over into voxer as rising filtered bass tones playout over another trademark click box drum pattern, this time doused in heavy reverb and delay. an array of analogue bleeps, screams and laser beams keep the motor ticking over.

already a mainstay in the scene with admired releases on brother label poker flat, and of course connaisseur, patrick chardronnet returns with a wonderful 2 track ep on audiomatique. a delightfully trippy, post-minimal adventure, ‚piper‘ raises the brow for chardronnet, dropping the big room synths this time in favour of a very organic, low-slung addictive groove. sparse, tricky percussion underpins the headsdown late night vibe, as a drifting ensemble of mystic vocals and haunting horns unfolds over 11 minutes. enchanting, mesmeric and deeply spaced, this reduced-percussive foray explores chardronnet‘s more hypnotic side... a priceless cut of of hybrid house from a modern master. on the b side the driving, textural chimes of ‚dropout‘ ensnare the listener into another beautiful and mysterious world. solid-state, bass-led percussion and crisply-cut percussive fx remain subdued whilst an epic, swirling synth landscape weaves its dreamy tale. suggesting moments of real drama, yet all the while maintaining an addictive, slow burning vibe, its a an amazing journey into this producer‘s remarkable, inimitable sonic world.

directions is a soon-to-be-techno-anthem. built around an instantly memorable vocal hook this is a genuine big room tune for the summer. pitched to a chugging groove and mounted on a low, throbbing bassline, no time is wasted in introducing the looped vocal hook that builds and drops towards a sprawling, crowd-pleaser of a breakdown.
backing up the package is the equally impressive tipping point. the 3am front left speaker mix is a shimmering, bass-heavy fusion of old school techno riffs and soaring strings.

this summer beni will continue to reign the dancefloor supreme with a new monster slab of black plastic, maximus featuring vocals from the mighty sam sparro. who put the fun in acid-funk you ask? the answer is: beni did. a low-slung exercise in dark and dirty arpeggiated sleaze, maximus marries a sparse bubble-groove that creeps up behind you and licks your ear with a very purple vocal performance by sparro to devastating effect. the resulting track is something akin to kiss-era prince and friends dirty dancing at a toga party while ancient rome burns down around them. on the flipside beni and nicky night time give maximus a night-time re-dub rubdown, taking the track away from the creepy funk freak and towards a straighter slammer jammer, favouring blatant dancefloor manipulation over the subtle and the sexy. also featured (and included on the next kitsune maison 7 installment) is fringe element, which encapsulates the feeling of surfing on a shooting star like never before, with beni sitting proudly at the controls. an electronic orchestra of descending basslines, vocoder snippets, bleeps and acid squeaks, fringe element caps off another compelling chapter in benis lifelong voyage through dance. after the cover of his first ep my love sees you made by geneviÞve gauckler, his new 12 is illustrated by french artist andre.

hot on the heels of phonica records inaugural release comes a new 12inch on the label from jc freaks, with a very special remix from the revenge. jc freaks is the duo of anthea nzekwu and werner niedermeier. like hector, who helmed phonica 001 with ben bryant, anthea is phonica through-and-through, working behind the counter at the london store. an award-winning dj, she produces with werner as jc freaks and has already released two acclaimed 12inchs on mojuba offshoot wandering. dub praise is a sultry, funked-up assault on the dancefloor, incredibly direct and immediate but full of subtle modulations and dub chords. theres a jacking, almost boompty feel to the track, but the blissed-out vocal snippets, rich synth-tones and burbling acid licks give it a timeless, rolling quality beyond that. this is seriously addictive stuff. on the flip theres a remix from the revenge, aka graeme clark. phonica have been huge fans of clarks releases on labels like jiscomusic and instruments of rapture over the years, both solo and as part of 6th borough project. here he reimagines dub praise as a deep disco track which is all spaced-out percussion, breezy keys and low-slung bass but has real character and intensity to it. so it is that the eponymous label run out of londons best electronic music store continues its march on the worlds dancefloors and dj-boxes - with a 12 inch of hypnotic house class that fizzes with ideas and, more than anything, groove

stanley anscorm has finished the follow-up to battle beyond the sun. you can expect two epic tracks on this nearly 30 minutes record. although the tracks are based on identical compositional material, they shine in very different color. the black side is of high density and impresses with remarkable bass figures which seems to grow on the fundamental principles of low frequencies. these figures are easily carrying loads of percussions and even an orchestral set of horns which does not seem to be from this world. the white side can be understand as a lighter interpretation of the same topic and it is thrill of its own to discover the intersections between the two tracks. sure, this music is nothing you listen to in an elevator - stanleys art demands attention, there is no doubt about this - but the reward you get if you listen or dance to it with an open heart is of a kind you might never come in contact with somewhere else.

sons of the dragon debuted last year on a mysterious white vinyl double out of detroit, they awake again to bring us >the journey of qui niu< and cast their firey wrath. the cv313 rework plays off the original version but adds a low end throb so deep it could shake the heavens, a rhythmic shuffle which begs you to move and a hypnotizing symphony of lo fi sonic destruction, its totally menacing. the new sqx project debuts with a killer, taking a different approach to the original, they use the synthesized textures as warm sonic fragments. its as if they were building a sonic puzzle but changing all the pieces around while assembling, leaving us with a rhythmic synth workout of the highest order, for your mind or the floor. a destined to be classic, do not miss

the debut release from steve summers. three amazing raw and unpolished chicago tracks. shake the house is a magic track that has been recorded on an old analogue tape recorder (hence the noise). stereotype acid that sounds like a early 808 state jam or a guy called gerald. messages from the past and waves are genuine old chicago house tracks. two tracks that are essential for everyone enjoying old joe lewis and fingers inc releases. crazy low-fi tracks that are just a lot of fun! we couldnt stop playing this in the office... cant wait to play it from nice shiny black wax!

jack for daze is one of the new clone series of releases inspired by the early house releases from chicago. one of the main inspirations of the clone crew... first release is done by neville watson, known for his collaboration with kink. two sweet tracks that are highly influenced by joe lewis and larry heard. two tracks that sound as if they came out of a time machine. clone founder serge produced a modern jack track together with gerd as bonus track. back into the studio since a long time and just playing around they came up with a nice hybrid mix somewhere inbetween an old gherkin gherks / larry heard release and a modern club track. crazy low bass kick and a classic jacking percussion drive combined with todays production skills. a proper club tool that compliments this first jack for daze release... very much recommended!

10inch !!!! this is something special. 10 years after its very limited release (simply due to a low budget and limited sales expectations, not to try and make the record scarce), norm talleys the journey is picked up by a a few hip berlin djs, and a fire starts with the record being offered on ebay for over €100.00, because nobody can find a copy. even norm had to borrow a copy when he went to dj in berlin and the berlin party crowd had already asked him to confirm if he was bringing the record..no joke. so here is that tune, the journey, now re-mastered by stefan betke and cut by andreas@schnittstelle, and sounding very nice. on the flip is the unreleased in yo soul, chosen by third ear to complement the journey and complete a full on in your face piece of norm talley groove. and to round it off, its on a 10. cool and compact. just like norm, who is known in the dj circles of detroit as a secret weapon.. need your party fixing?... call norm talley. serge at clone kindly added a few words... nice re-issue of an obscure dj favorite produced by norm talley and previously released on the nouveau riche label from detroit. here you have two tracks that turn out to be great dj tracks when played out loud. the journey somehow got lost in obscurity. but luckily someone was clever enough to get it back out again, together with the previously unreleased in yo soul, and here they are... 10 inches of pleasure! pure detroit house music as we like it

1998 tresor compilation, featuring the sound of legendary headquarter-parties. already a classic!

>not my cat< is a brooding fusion of bubbling acid, deep bass tones and low-down jacking rhythms that treads a line between early doors groover and late night mood setter. >demons among us< is exactly the sort of cinematic-style club production that will resonate with fans of charlies work. forging together multi-textured layers of precision crafted sonics, the overall vibe is one of minimized, robotic-funk that provides the foundations for a killer shimmering melody to do its joyous damage.
