really impressive, strong techno music! this ep is a split in between three rising stars on the swedish techno scene. prataps contribution starts of with a wicked groove that just goes on and on. and before you know it, you are totally lost in a melody that is slowly building up. the flip from nihad tule and lasseman is on the very same tip. nihad, know from his release on hz trax will not let any body down! a really strong and groovy sound is coming your way and just keeps on building. hypnotic and very funky!

no other than chilean sunnyboy and groove scientist luciano is taking us on the a-side on a long ride of lush but infectious minimalism. eleven minutes strong, luciano does what he does best and unfolds a continuous flow of subtle rhythmic changes, melodies and field recordings to create an overall hypnotic feel that sucks you in right from the start. think his last ep on cadenza with thomas melchior and add an eerie feel to it. on the flip side the enigmatic duo eat (both integrat parts of the diamonds and pearls family) steps up for some serious dancefloor destruction. what starts off as a pulsating acidic techno-monster that creeps up from the depths of a pile of analog synthesizers, turns into a breakbeat chopping electro-jam that will leave you behind with bleeding ears and thumping hearts, before the track jumps right back to techno peaktime.

no order is the title track and first single to be taken from 2020 soundsystem s debut album. the a side 2020soundsystem remix is a brilliant, epic mix in two parts - starting out mid paced electrofunk before morphing halfway into a berlin meets detroit meets new york techno disco odyssey. the discoteque dub is the first of two superb dub mixes, it takes the electro disco bassline and danny s rock solid beats to form the basis of an exceptional modern, italo influenced electro dub. the basics dub , as the name suggests, has been seriously road tested at the leeds underground institution back to basics and tips its hat to the sounds of classic chicago and new york house

frische knackige 4 track ep ... bitte reinlauschen

the new tombone brings you two fierce detroitish electro banger by michael ford.reminiscent of a dark futuristic soundtrack, in >gallowgate< gnarly and sizzling cascades of synth chase each other over a choppy, skanking break-beat stewing up a more and more pressure before bursting into a full frenzy with a punchy 4/4 beat. >bellgroove< on the flip keeps it nasty with its anarchistic bombardment of dirty, raw synth noises over a hard-hitting electro groove

big with james holden & thomas schumacher !!the a-side will and has already proved to be the perfect dance floor track while the b-side shows a deeper and more serious side of the label. with its funky base line and humoristic build up-break, subaquatic mechanic brings new life in to the myth of atlantis. playing games on the other hand, is techno for the david lynch generation. the atmosphere is so dense you can feel it. yes, you actually feel something when listening to this track. not so very common in dance music today and this is the reason why kontra-musik is here. the finishing track, high voltage monkey, brings it all down before it wraps it all up to a complete product. expect support from: richie hawtin

electronic house and tech house with a slice of tribal a sides original mix is a gritty sleazy knockout aimed at the hottest progressive floors out there especially as the minimal but wickedly effective bit of depeche y vocal slides in flips nocando remix goes deeper at first with a filthy minimalist electro bender that warms up a bit slowly before catching fire at the break big one

this is the first sombre dreadful picture which 24- year-old artist lászló fogarasi produces at the beginning of his album which is immediately a small resignation from his own musical past. the film noire has retired. the second album rises more and more into something absolutely unexpected..... having exchanged the forests of somogy county for the budapest, his new record >splendid isolation< is more mature and more urban than the amazing first album >shallow and profound<

a mad rockin 3 tracker that gives all the wannabes a lecture in pure energy. without any unnessecary foreplay >pop n puss< gets right into action with a stomach turning bassline, hysteric siren sounds and ass-slapping claps. in good old 3rd bass tradition fakers get the >gas face< - another jittering electro-boogie beatdown - before k alexi shows a little bit of tenderness yet keeps it freaky with the slightly deeper >cybersex<, a viril, climatic percussive pounder with a mysterious synth strings melody. k alexi knows your inner urges and basic needs!!

two fresh drivin techhouse coctails !! > jeff bennett started creating music in 1994 and got hooked on it directly, but it took until 1998 before his first single was to come out on his own label maskros music. since that single he has released over 30 singles on labels like poker flat, episode, treibstoff, intristc design, konvex konkav, jamayka, morris audio, regular etc. his earliest influences came from detroit people like derrick may, juan atkins & kevin saunderson, but also from richie hawtin s label plus 8 and the artist there like speedy j, kenny larkin etc. europe also had a big impact on him

sistema s new installment for factor city is a three-phased bomb that perfectly showcases the versatility of this underrated barcelona producer, a wide-ranging affair which should cover your dancefloor and armchair listening needs. opening with circus parade samples, >tio vivo< quickly developes as an archetypical factor city groove with its irressistible fat bass and piercing synth lines, a track that rises and falls like a phoenix before hitting you hard with some devastating chord changes. dancefloor monster music...

title cut is already getting massive play from the likes of väth and aquaviva. resonant electrofied rhythms roll together as the melody snaps back and stabs at the mix. peak is heavy before the groove funk backs it up. electro house at it s finest. flip side is >mondo dingo<. making use of 3am timespot it is a sparse electronic house groove that blends techno like synthesizers from out of space with the solid back beat. trapez style track

this one is the third ep by dole & kom on ek records, before the long awaited album will come this spring.. four great tracks reduced to its essence, but darker than their last productions !!

chicago hardtechno tracks from dj bam bam, paul langeley...

bubbled beats and hi hats rain down before the bass pulse kicks in the and the hands are raised.. delicate atmospehres climb towards the center of the room and we are off..the syncopated bass tones carry the mix into the morning hours. flip it over for sparse escape that is perfect interlude to give dancers a minute to catch their breath..

disruptor heads into 06 with >words are bulletsa<: a dark, funky and not so typical acid house creeper reminiscent of bryan s earlier works as barada (definitive/plus8) circa 94. thumping 303 starts things off soon joined by frantic percussion. a staccato synth line creeps in before all hell breaks loose in frenzy with our friend the mini moog taking the lead.

the song starts with moroder alike bassline before the sweet but downright mean vocals from kiki kicks in, followed by more dark italo flavoured synthlines and pads before finally reaching a climax of humoungous propotions after the break. kiki delivers the vocal in a dark manner where you actually ask yourself is this the kiki we know.. scary !allready on heavy rotation by ewan pearson, tiefschwarz, … will be big!

funky minimal techno with stripped down sounds and chunky rhythms with a super flow and great sound design.. incl jesse somfay remix!!

there could be no better start into 2006 than a brand new steve bug single. with >smackman< on the a-side poker flat label boss steve bug delivers another hip shaking track handwritten in his unmistakeable but fresh style. >i-thought< on the -side starts with a clever beat-construction and a great bassline before some smart sound-gimmicks lead over to the first break. still minimal, but with an incredible groove and great melodies both tracks are sure to leave lots of nice damage on the dancefloor
