ultra limited coloured vinyl edition of deadmau5s recent album. 11 track with full electrohouse madness. big bang ...

lol is a bit of an unusual project, its just a thing in its own right, its not for anything or anyone in particular, its just an lp made by three bored people who like music that sounds like it did before the advent of the internet. the project was recorded in the bedroom of a warehouse conversion in hackney wick (bedrooms can be incredibly creative spaces, seeing as most of us were conceived in one). they wrote about self-obsession, social anxiety, drug abuse, and failed relationships using pre-21st century recording devices such as vhs tape, 70s valve microphones, analogue synths, cheap argos catalogue guitars, and 80s drum machines.

>mr nice< features snippets of howard marks which are interlaced with clattering breakbeats and booming sub bass. while we are sure howard would approve of a late night after party session, for many this will be the soundtrack to what happens before they leave the club! label boss steppa and his co-producer kitcha provide an excellent aa side which harks back to the classic formation records era. splicing in cheeky samples lifted from anthems of old and twisting them into something brand new, this one is just as fearsome on the dancefloor.

after several hot tunes on worthy’s anabatic imprint, birminghams tom flynn joins the ranks of the dirtybird crew. i ve battle tested the a-side of this record all around the world. >catch that bird< is a rare mix of deep rooted funk whilst also sounding like a caribbean jungle track pitched down to 126. my favorite!
i d play this ep just on the strength of the a-side but i feel like a lot of attention will also be given to the b-side called >rhode island<. this is a classic piece of deep house with all the melodic elements of a dirtybird jam.
tom sent me at least 7 tracks before i signed these so the guy is certainly prolific and i expect to hear quite a bit more from this up and comer this year.
enjoy,
claude vonstroke

architeq – into the cosmosperf10.nettirk records recently released the new architeq‘s ep entitled “into the cosmos“, it’s gonna be the last of the ‘color’ series before the album. the whole ep connects lazy jazz/funk with future electronic vibes, definitely a great quality production bringing us warm and smooth feel. would like to emp

with their first co-production, dj / producer paul woolford and the irish-born producer team paul hamill and dee lievense aka psycatron deliver the prove that uk techno has not lost any of its energy or visionary power in the year 2010. after releases for carl craigs planet e label and r & s (psycatron) resp. 2020 vision or renaissance (paul woolford), the two tracks on the >thunder ep< are consequently moving to the next level. >thunder< impresses with extremely dynamic drumming and always changing percussion patterns. a rhythm body that is constantly in motion and will be enlightening every single dance floor with its hypnotic power dub. >cloud 9<, however, is stepping back at first and stresses an explicit chord techno structure despite its solid pumping elements before integrating some noise rave signals following the epic break after some 5 minutes, as it was totally naturally and thus letting the whole floor blast off. with such joy of telling and the eagerness to experiment in a musical way, you are really looking forward to the winter club season 2010/2011!

nile delta is dancefloor wizard joel dickson, former member of riot in belgium and current member of cutters dynamic-duo, voltage. having spent the past year neck-deep in other peoples music – it was only a matter of time before this, nile deltas debut ep emerged, shimmering, from the water. channel sounds like a late 70s house party. except the house is actually a warehouse and the late 70s are actually the early 90s. an almost paradoxical blend of filtered piano stabs, party whistles, endless delays, a squelching acid lead, horns, bendy-breakdowns, you name it. channel sounds like moodymann at his rawkus best. no party will be complete without this house gem. all this on the flip, sees cut copy bassist ben browning provide an otherworldly vocal hook over nile deltas inescapable rhythm. and the crawling baseline will have your hips doing obscene things. guaranteed. remixes include longtime favourites chicken lips, who take their invincible track record on an italian holiday – and tornado wallace who takes us deep, deep into the night.

as someone that wears many hats, including dj, labelowner, producer and radio presenter, anja schneider has certainly been juggling them all very successfully this year. currently on a busy touring schedule in south america celebrating five years of mobilee records, before leaving for the road she also put aside some time to get back in the studio and produce a brand new ep, mobilee072 pushin. whilst she worked on her most recent productions such as ithought and something left with kiki, and also shinkansen with lee van dowski, this time she partnered once again with paul brtschitsch, with whom she co-produced her debut lp beyond the valley in 2008. famed for playing dj-sets that always come with a powerful bass and sexy groove, pushin is the perfect production equivalent of anja schneiders club performance. the title track comes with a soulful vocal, whilst a2 >strong way< is intended as a female interpretation of the same track. meanwhile, b1 >i dont feel anything< takes you on an eery ride with whispered utterances. enjoy!

rush hour presents a new series of releases entitled >voyage direct<. tom trago, one of the most prominent producers on rush hour records, who has produced several releases for this label since 2006, curates this series. in 2009 he presented his first voyage direct output and in 2010 he started selecting tracks for >voyage direct<, which presents a collection of his favorite producers & tracks. the saga of >voyage direct< continues. the third release is a very classy one. house of jezebel aka legowelt takes us back to the warehouse days with his epic version of soul classic >love & happiness<. granted, this sample has been used a few times before, but this is simply one of the strongest versions ever to appear. comes as vocal and instrumental version

darker and more sinister as all his releases before. beats getting tighter and rougher, theres no chance to escape. welcome to the world of delta funktionen. this 2nd part of his setup eps brings three times dark heavy soaking techno tracks, and with the otherworldy track >conflict data< closing the setup

the owl, like its namesake, sits in the shadows. its deep, dubby bassline lazily rolls along, as our franco-italian alliance layer their percussive elements. string stabs usher in the smooth-keyed break, before that weighty bass drops back in. on the flip, txarco brings a sinister, somewhat industrial brand of funk, provided brilliantly by its growling, predatory bassline. as scything sounds, breathy vocals, and a variety of drums rolls lunge from the darkness, and fade just as quickly, we are constantly guarded by our bassline protector.

out now, the second e.p. from the axe gabba murda mob, this time on pacemaker records. two awesome tracks full of technical tricks and skills like you have never heard before at an awesome superior sound quality. top quality release!

>les patates<, the fresh new rrygular release by tassilo, one half of pan-pot, is not an homage to french agriculture but a serious techno smasher with high club potential. at first, theres just a nice party atmosphere and … then this rough beat drops in! the small potatoe >petite patate< surprises by adding rudimental elements like the hihat and snare drum always a little late. but you have the feeling you havent missed something yet. this number just sneaks from behind and lulls you in with billowing pads until you sense the final rave sound as a self-evident consequence of it all. the message by g-tech right before the drop proves right - there is not a lack of vibration here! its all about the mixture … and in this case its just felicitous: male choir, clanking cymbals and finally the riff that this track subsists on. tassilo knows how to send the short melody-figure through the different stages of sound design, even though it might have been lively enough without it. this gives the big potatoe >grosse patate< a level of dynamic, that most contemporary techno releases just dont provide.

claremont 56 seem to have a passion for the unnoticed and the unreleased, digging out gems from the past or oldies from the future. here we have four hands, a band from newcastle who laid this gem down in 1999. sounding distinctly like an adriatic sunset from 20 years previous. from subtle beginnings this track doesnt quite grow, it just drifts beautifully along, from warm pads to a deeper swelling bass, overlaid with delicate strings and languid orchestral touches. four hands deliver a modern day masterpiece, with a timeless woozy morning feeling. this is the warm embrace you need after a few too many the night before. limited edition!

first on decks .de !!! sa007 sees perc and modern heads create the first collaborations between these two core stroboscopic artefacts artists. the result is a punishing hybrid of percs dubstep tendencies and modern heads cutting techno. a-side >mendax< is cavernous. built upon solid dub foundations, it spills over into grinding, metallic territory. if the titles to be believed it takes inspiration from the shady world of lies and deceit. the atmosphere seems to agree, theres certainly something mendacious at work here. b1 takes the eps atmosphere and adds abrasion. in >percdax< cold, hard percussion is layered over a bed of warm dub. closer >moddax< errs on the eerie. it skulks, is full of sticky bleeps and the result is unnervingly dubbed out. all three track titles share the same suffix and if this indicates that they also share one quality its that theyre best heard in the glinting shadows of a club just before day break. sa007 was craftily mastered by artefacts mastering, berlin.

big with: dubfire, roberto rodriguez, mijk van dijk, karotte, kissy sell out, makossa, david durango, aga heller, franksen, dan mangan, greg churchill, louis osbourne,.. following the huge >human you< (moon033) the much loved disco bear ante perry returns in a double-trouble beatdown head-to-head with tube & berger.just pure and simply an anthem, >ever never< is the type of record that you know you ll love even before its started. drenched in melancholic synth pop melody, heart-warming bass lines and euphoric moments, this future classic builds to a real finale!stereofunk provide a techier remix that treads the colourful lines between disco, tech house and cosmic exploration! soaring synths and funking basslines combine in this italo-inspired treat for the dancefloor

shake has proven himself time and time again to be one of the most original and creative producers in electronic music today. unafraid to take risks in his productions or as he calls them his failed experiments, shake has created three killer tracks for fit sound that can be called anything but failed. trackin is a bangin disco influenced house track that will smoke the dance floor. drummer downstairs is a beat track in typical shake style that mutates into something completely different and unlike anything we have heard before. frayed shows another side of shake, it is equal parts deep, melodic and dubby.

sebastian lutz has accrued a huge fan base amongst the crème de la creme: after releases on do easy records, bcb techno, suchtreflex and boug.records, he has won huge support from the likes of carl craig, dubfire, loco dice, karotte and laurent garnier. his track >i m tellin u< has also been chosen by baba sven väth for cocoons >sound of the 10th season< ibiza mix compilation.

next up on nang we get tooled up with our disco pick-axe to mine one of the most authentic italo vaults, that of once-forgotten-but-now-hero-again beppe loda. having begun djing in brescia aged 16, loda was resident at gambaras soon to be legendary typhoon club from 1980 until the club closed in the same year as the paradise garage, a year before acid house officially began in 1987.

any which way starts with a classic dancefloor siren before launching into an almighty beat that blends classic disco with the modern day.... carte blanche just even more progressive 2010 way

hers is the most anticipated debut album of 2010 and her name is on everybodys lips. seldom before has a young artist so captivated the attention of a generation that she personifies. >the ultimate it girl<, >the new electro pop sensation<, >totally in tune with the spirit of the times<: these are just a few quotes from her reviewers. the delayed >sex dreams and denim jeans< is finally complete. uffie took her time, for after years of continuous whirlwind she needed to take a step back, put her bags down and concentrate on her writing.

rusty egan and steve strange brought you the blitz club in 1980, the cradle that not only spawned the musical soundtrack to a generation but also the styles, fashions and very fabric of the 80s. thirty years may seem a long time to wait before launching a record label of the same name but the sound of the blitz is as fresh today as it was all those years ago on a side street off covent garden.

after a recent short n sweet stint on tensnakes mirau imprint irish ex-pat mano le tough reemerges on internasjonal where he first saw the light of the day as a producer with the much acclaimed warhorn. yet even with such a rather small, straightforward discography mano managed to sculpture his unmistakeably very own style fusing the deeper shades of house and techno with a strong melodic sensibility that one would never even get the faintest idea to file it under the mostly bland tech-house genre. oblique boast a perfect effective dramaturgy with slighty spooky broken melody box theme rising out of a thick mist of grinding chords before morphing into a deep acid finale. french gentlemen of distinction and many styles chateau flight toughen up the beats and throw in some african wood percussions and sparse psychedelic dub effects for a superb rhythmically multi-layered rework.

the original television soundtrack from >star trek<, taken from the pilots >the cage< and >where no man has gone before<.

inspired by the stripped back technical set-ups of yesteryear, mike monday and will saul present the sequence 1 ep, the product of the two artists limiting themselves to a roland 909, a korg kaos pad, a dave smith polyevolver and recording their jamming on the fly. >we wanted to inject some excitement, energy and randomness into this release, so decided to play the tracks live with mike on the 909 and keys and will on filters and effects. we had a broad idea of where we were going before we pressed record, and recorded a few takes of each track, then took the best moments from each. the big challenge was reining in the slightly chaotic recordings, but after some tweaking we found a balance between old school rawness and modern production values.<

this limited vinyl version of the album contains 7 tracks that were never before available on vinyl. also includes a bonus cd version of the full album

big twelve from us label slant featuring glasgow s edit select and alex smoke. label owner let s go outside supplies the b-side.slant s fourth 12 yields two mighty pieces of techno. one side is let s go outside s epic valentino , the other is the absolutely wicked the retainer from edit select and alex smoke. all the criteria for a classic split are met and well exceeded here.the pairing of edit select and alex smoke is simply brilliant. the a side s the retainer is crowd control. alex s signature vocal cut ups and chugging percussion layered atop edit select s hypnotic, repetitive style make for a true techno masterpiece.on the aa side, let s go outside throws down a deep, seductive, tough cut with valentino . airy pads float atop pulsing bass and a subtle, driving orchestra of percussion and static. the entire piece slowly ebbs before crashing down, repeating, the pace deliberate and guided by soft words about first loves.
