vinyl only release !! incl nice summring tracks by rennie foster & outmode with support from the likes of ben watt, laidback luke and laurent garnier !!

hot off the heels of onur Özers most excellent mind melt album kasmir, released october of 2007, comes the reinterpretations on vakants vr division. wonderfully thought out, vr handles remixes exclusively leaving vakant itself pure to its artists. this constellation leaves everyone free to the corruption of their fancy, allowing the artists to choose their own remixers. with onur, finding willing interpreters is not a difficult task and the heavy of the heavies representing the light and dark sides of the force are here on vr04. on the a side loco dice, aka tunisian born yassine ben achour, takes onurs instrument laden >eclipse< and puts it through the treatment. what comes out the other end is popping state-of-the-art tech house with onurs depth and loco dices spontaneous flow. on the flip things get serious. jens zimmermann , the deep, deep, freak out master hailing from frankfurt, contributes his own spin on >sahara<

these hand-picked tracks are now available on a dj-friendly 2-sided-4-tracks-vinyl-ep and let me tell you, they are well worth the extra investment. the first of the bunch starts off with big man lexys fancy girl, an ever-growing minimal techy peak-time-pusher with a hushed vocal-sample, some anaologue signal sounds and a futuristic and pumping beat. add a great distorted melody to this on the breakdown and the dancefloor will thank you for putting this on: they will go mental! after this introduction, its the newcomers mickey monzza & joseph discos turn with their equally stimulating track lonely. this is a great modern piece of pumping dub techno with a straight-forward attitude. the hi-hats on this tune are mesmerezing, the clappy snares and sirens perfectly placed and the subtle dubby and groovy melody an ideal antithesis to this hectically moving tune. simply nice! but hold on, there is more to come. on the flip there is hamburgs house impressario h.o.s.h. with his track ben johnson and whether this title is a reference to the legendary sportsman or not, its a pretty record-worthy track: wonderful little stabs and vocal sounds and a bassline so warm and groovy it makes your heart melt. then when the breakdown hits you with its long and winding signal sound, the dancefloor will already be bathing in a floor filled with sweet happiness. this is truely delicious! the two newcomers and residents at hive club in zurich animaltrainer have the honour to finish off this ep with their oily tech-house-anthem talkshow, a superb main-floor-peak-time-melody-affair.

the first release on new glasgow label seinan music will be from rising star sei a. this boys stock has been rising fast with releases on french house stables such as missive, silver network and imprime {he may or may not also be responsible for a certain awesome re-edit of an oxford band containing word radio}... fans of his work include miss kitten, laurent garnier, ben watt and a host of many others. meth is another slice of his trademark techy but melodic sound. with haunting vocals and a solid hook, this is due to rock floors from glasgow to guatemala, tech style. on the flip, man of the moment milton jackson takes things a little deeper and darker with a solid mix that will appeal to fans of his work on labels such as freerange, winding road and tsuba. with a musical agenda that sticks to its guns but is not afraid to take a chance is the frame of mind going forward for seinan music. the label has some exiting plans for the future including remixes from another fcomm stalwart, llorca and more releases from sei a.

after two years, now the second bullet out of the usb-gun. this vinyl contains tracks from frank kvitta on the a side with yogi. on the flip, seema contributes with exit a cracking good slammer. the remaining vinyl is filled by the best tracks of a voting, which took place on the forum recently. the deserving winners are bazz dee with my fucking business and ben kaiser & alex s. with flachwitz on b2. pull the trigger!

joonas hahmo is back with cocktail bar, a worthy follow up to last years ibiza anthem together.this time the talented finn has cranked things up a notch further, with a floor destroying piano houser that whilst different in style and groove, has drawn inevitable comparisons with pjanoo, in terms of dancefloor impact. cocktail bar should appeal to a broad range of floors, either as a peak time banger for the house heads or a set builder for the trancier jocks.remixer ben macklin brings the track further into mainstream house territory with a tightly produced electro tinged rework.

support from efdemin, loco dice, sebo k, shinedoe, dave dk, agnes, d julz, serafin, ame, ben watt, ray okpara, sasse, luke solomon, peace division & ashley beedle, among others... anonym is the one who is anonymous. his music, however, is anything but anonymous. hailing from the mecca otherwise known as detroit and with releases on his very own anonymous releases and on sushitech, anonym embraces in his music the ways of future past of the motor citys unique techno scene. anonyms new release arrives exactly when detroit techno is again paving the way to the future by transforming the now: post minimal strategies and a desire to find its own place in the tradition, make the music signed by anonym a strong creative statement, something that could only be cooked by a detroit native, but that resonates all over the world. for remix duties, we asked our good friend patrice baumel to take it amsterdam style. detroit techno has a strong hold on amsterdams music makers but the natives of the city of the best coffee shops in the world have also always shed a different light on their own productions. patrice is a perfect example of this: his originality and fierce work ethic has gained him a place in get physical and trapez. we were hoping for something special from patrice and he definitely delivered, taking shanghai express in a completely new direction, making it something else, but also his personal tribute to the city of cosmic cars and vital underground resistance

drumcode keeps up the relentless pressure with a release from another brilliant producer - dustin zahn. a few words can easily describe dustin zahns style: moody, tribal, dark, and hypnotic. since dustin co-founded abiotic recordings with ian lehman in 2001, hes finished projects for labels such as livewire records (detroit), analytic trail (italy) and invasion (belgium). his tracks have been received support from techno producers such as redhead, adam beyer, danilo vigorito, tim xavier, ben sims, chris liebing, dave clarke, umek, and countless more.

supported by ben sims, dave clarke, steve rachmad, bart skills, dj 3000, cari lekebusch and many more.. the time is now, a new token, a new wave of mayhem for dancefloors worldwide. for 6 we have the first belgian artist on token. its been a while since we saw a release by dimitri andreas and since he released his widely well received panther ep on the highly acclaimed music man label in 2003, the mass was hungry for a new release. london based producer and blueprint legend james ruskin takes care of another interpretation for the flip side. with his recent album >the dash< on tresor, he continues his legacy. here, mr ruskin keeps the groove of the original track and gives it a bit more intimacy and funk

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!
