nice price deal !!! the songs on yachts debut album see mystery lights from the bouncy, burbling you cant take it with you screed the afterlife (which plays like a less spastic companion piece to the mae shis run to your grave) to the roller rink ready vocoder vocals of im in love with a ripper represent yacht at their most poppy. its a collection of stone jams that finds the band finally as hellbent on experimenting and expanding the boundaries of its sonic scope as it is on having fun. built on electronic foundations laser effects, skittering computerized beats, and spacey synth lines (or guitar riffs that have been tuned or distorted to sound like synths) these new songs are giddy with creative freedom while remaining tethered in service of their melodies. the vocal melodies are bright and buoyant, but delivered (by either band member, or in unison) in a chanted, oftentimes detached monotone that plays up the repetitive lyrics mantra like feel and adds a welcome undercurrent of slacker cool to their otherwise sugary optimism.

legendary sub club resident harri, teams up with fellow glaswegians and justifiably hyped producers the revenge to cook up this stripped back and relentless raw house joint. already a massive cut for a select few djs serviced well upfront, this track has cropped up on more than a few most wanted lists. its thundering main hook driven along with fierce percussion and a simmering tension that seems set to boil over never fails. the dub mix swaps the ferocious claps for a haunting bell tone, paving the way for a tripped out excursion 20.000 leagues under. vera completes the 12inch with her hypnotising tribal groove punctuated with rising synths that offers a lighter, brighter take on the original.

so inagawa first release compiled >deep house part 1- mixed by harley & muscle< compilation. japanese underground label >relaxine< will proudly announce deep tech house track >ride ep< that is second release coming from murakami(poker flat/dessous/morris audio)! ryos career started as dj, on the base of influence by the oldschool hiphop, house, techno, and rock. as soon as he was inspired by alternative sounds like analog synthesizer and old rhythm machines, he began to devote to produce electronic music. his sound contains experimental minimal and cutting edge house music. crosstown labelowner damian lazarus has picked him up and supported to releae ‘the lizard’ as the name of p.a.n on revelone which is sublabel of crosstown in 2006. ‘groove master’ daniel bell has played ‘the lizard’ in his mix cd and it has brought him deserved recognition as bona-fide new talent. steve bug, who runs poker flat and house line labe dessous, dropped ryo’s “my soul rise monument” to best album best kept secrets ” on dessous in 2007. he has became the first artist to be played 2 tracks on the fabric mix cd series steve bug mixes fabric 37 and it was great achievement for him. he has been releasing rise on dessous, down the sky on poker flat and lovin ep on morris audio since then.

the final record from oakland, cas psychedelic quartet, the gris gris, was recorded live at the warehouse where greg ashley resides. the twilight had come and the fat lady sang. the final bell tolled for the brightest sons of the oaklandish psychedelic revolution. here is the final piece to that hazy, mysterious, yet strangely familiar sound this band created. with songs from both records played with ferocity and sonic mayhem, the story of the gris gris is here. bright. swirling. gnarly. electric...

schieber continues its way into more easily grooving realms and comes up with these new, elegantly sparkling tracks by berlin resident drei farben house who has already caused a stir with his delicately balanced releases on force tracks and brut!. for schieber drei farben house gives two different insights into his understanding of house music: sander is more tracky and relies on looped chords which bring you closer to house heaven with every repetition, while manifold percussions together with the beats provide the necessary injection of funk. in contrast, anagram expands the frame of grooves and chords for finely ramified bell sounds and softly glowing melodies. for his remix of anagram house routinier prudo (moodmusic/dirt crew) reduces the melodies and displays a firework of funky sound bits - a perfect tighrope walk between minimal and house which combines the best of both worlds.

ltd backstock !!! label chief and king of nyc late night mythology, francois k returns with a bit of his patented deep space madness. starting with a tempo reminiscent of a 45 played at 33 1/3, a delicate plucked bell-synth bathed in a medium hall reverb leaves ethereal impressions and late night energy. as the melody drops a minor third, another enchanting counter melody joins the mix and adds a rather divine legato styling. after the lead fades out, a percussive interlude full of syncopated noise hits develops: leaving room for a break that reintroduces the main vibe and instills a sense of resolution. the flip carries a remix from quiet village, who has been starting deep space nights with positively solid performances. taking a more club-hyped approach, this rework pounds forward with a massive rumbling kick drum and an underlying noise wash. the main lead gets some serious filter and delay treatment making for a more progressive drive and a versatile dancefloor hook. tweaking things a bit at the break, the melody morphs into a sort of latin-minded groove with portamento glides, edited accents and sharper hits. still keeping the passion and charm alive, the new demise accents francoiss tasteful tune while boasting contemporary excitement

the duo signed to andrew friendlys gulp communications in 2008, and have released three eps worth of material, appearing in the cool cuts chart, and bringing a wide fanbase to themselves inc brodinski, kris menace, jody wisternoff, cazals, matik, virgin tears to name a few. they went on to remix a wide array of artists, from the highly blogged mystery jets remix, to la roux on kitsune revolver (emi), the bell, jupiters heroes, acid girls, revolver, franz & shape, division kent (sony), circuit freq, milke and atomizer.

cosmo anarchy vol.2 goes a little darker. two tracks with strong atmosphere still very funky and 1 sweet old school house track on the a2 make this ep very special. a mood in between daniel bell and christian vogel. for the a1 we have for the first time on the label a strong dubstep track! great dj tool. as for the b side it?s freaky funky techno, a dark and soulful dancefloor track! s-max comes back on telegraph with cosmo anarchy presented in 2 singles released in a row. each single is moody and souful - 3 minimal-funk tracks with killer groove! s-max productions differ between house (moodymann/ jovonn/ nugroove), minimal (dbx/ todd sines), crispy+funky (herbert/ ark/ perlon/ akufen/ morgan geist) and funky techno (christian vogel, tobias schmidt, neil landstrumm, claude young). generally influenced by classic detroit/ chicago/ early warp and the whole brighton- stuff.

bosconi is back with his third release featuring the naughty quitèfrut guys, label boss fabio della torre and his parisian-berliner mate mattako. the orginal tracks are the spontaneous results of two afterhourmakingmusic studio sessions and what came out are two proper minimal kickass bass throbbers, dry but fat dj-tool house that take inspiration from daniel bell, baby ford, zip and mike ink works. the production is concentrated on the use of analogue instruments that give the tracks a deep and warm feeling with an oldskool vibe. ?absoluca? is a trippy and hypnotic blend of tight and intricate grooves enriched by subliminal cinematic samples, tropical atmospheres and sinister male voices. special guest on bosconi this time are robsoul boss phil weeks and didier allyne under their p&d guise who drop out a very effective dance mania style remix of absoluca, a dancefloor smasher tool that goes straight to the point, strongs 909 kicks and aggressive hi hats those take you back to the chicago warehouse party time, and we think ron hardy wont have disappointed this at all !! last track called at some point? is a deep driving techno track that open your senses, the groove is detroity and the sounds of synths draw into your brain and don?t let go. open your mind to the sounds of nature!!

bleeps, clicks and quirks escape your speakers as soon as the needle drops into the groove - and even that moment is an essential element of the transition from your world to frank bretschneiders universe of sound.

when we first started thinking about the compilation, we had in mind the idea to put together a great minimal techno selection with stuff from the early 90s, which really inspired us, like robert hood, dan bell, plastikman, pansonic and mike ink to name a few. whilst working on the project we had the feeling that there is so much more great and influential minimal music from way before the techno thing started. so we were very excited to combine the music from the electronic pioneers, with the tracks from the minimal techno godfathers in a very modern way. in minimal music there is so much (space) in between the sounds and the space that gives you a lot of opportunities for an own interpretation. the grandfather paradox is a scientific theory about time travelling and was first described by the science fiction writer rene barjavel in his book - le voyageur imprudent. we took suggestions out of that because we felt like we are travelling back in time and manipulating the old music with modern knowledge. the fact that we did all this with the deserved respect to the originals makes us quite sure that the results are bringing something new and interesting to the old tracks and transport the past into the here and now. - henrik schwarz, ?e & dixon

mercurochrome rings the bell for round #6 and its nino fight whos gonna fight for - or with? - patate. the result sounds delicious, thats for sure! >trach-clin< is co-produced by steady-p, slight remix of >ca flotte< was made by jason leach.

part 1 of the new double-release from tiefschwarz aims at the heart of house music: soul. “on&on” is a first-class arranged club track. starting off with a wonderful mellow theme, that is adumbrated by the bass line in an one-and-a-half minute long exposition. the track ups the tempo with an additional hi-hat resolving into a shuffle beat. in double time, we move on towards the first break. here an edgy, minor key-chord sequence is introduced, making it obvious for everyone, that this track is gonna take off. eventually the keys function as a counterpoint to the classic bass line. a four-to-the-floor “on&on” vocal sample takes over after the break, adding another percussive aspect. as the track goes on a mulitiplicity of side elements sets in - no room for tediousness! in the end the “on&on” vocals resolve into “it’s so simple… . who knows, but this could be a broad hint to all the tech-house academics out there. no matter what, this grande finale raises a smile from every last sweaty soul on the dancefloor. with “best inn” on the b-side tiefschwarz create a dance classic, dressed in 2009 fashion. reminiscent of long gone nu-groove times, a traditional house beat - including a tiny off-beat tinker bell - blasts out of the speakers. a slured synth-organ provides the track with that certain edgyness. here, the brothers keep it laid-back yet exciting at the same time. this piece goes on and on and on - and you yourself run alongside, not wanting to pause. but watch out! at the latest in the second break, tiefschwarz put nostalgia to the test via some shockingly muffled metal drums. one of these moments, where you wish yourself back into the middle of an eight-hour deep-house set in 1992. the train departs. one thrillingly beautiful landscape after another runs by, until the warm sun strokes of the south suddenly rouse you out of slumber. arrived

giggle riddim stands out in the bassline scene as one of the biggest tunes of the year. piddy py is a master of the signature northern style with his ghoulish bell tower leads and extra terrestrial bass. combined with giggles wind up kicks that bully dancefloors into submission and the terrifying baby cackles that give the riddim its name, piddys arsenal is unstoppable. utter havoc ensues with every drop. the title tyrack has already played by the likes of toddla t, sinden, herve, hudson mohawke, rustie, drop the lime, plus bassline heavyweights dj q, rossi b & luca and too many more to mention...

ruede hagelsteins the modest theme has proven to be one of souvenirs most provocative releases so far. released in the summer, the tracks dramatic horn hook is so epic it belongs in a science fiction film and as a piece of forward thinking techno, it ranks among one of souvenirs best. now the track is back with a remix from souvenir spearheads tiefschwarz alongside a new track from berlin based ruede. semikolon is another dark and dubby deep tech-housy outing for ruede that begins with a dramatic spoken word by naneci and ominous organ stabs. as the track progresses it takes on a chicago house vibe re-imagined at 10am in the panorama bar. an urgent bell begins to ring through the track raising the tension as the vocal intones a surreal chant before giving way to huge synth stabs that lead the track into a slow motion emotional explosion. just when things can get any more hectic the crescendo sinks to silence compressing the energy before the beats emerge back in their earlier deep house guise. ali and bast schwarz take their turn at remixing the modest theme fresh from their incendiary remix of emad kamandians kamanche for souvenir 012. the signature dramatic horn riff remains albeit injected with new percussion lending the track a tough tech house appeal that places it within the context of 2008s underground house sound. both tracks are another addition to souvenirs impressive collection of music aimed at the head just as much as they are at the heart and feet.
