after two buzzing releases, senzen is quickly getting recognition it deserves. but third time is the charm, right? well, at least in this case. senzen 3 title track, >gonna b<, is based on studio sessions of label boss benno blome together with his long time friend armin engel, who has worked on projects with fela kutis band rhythm taxi & jimi tenor, and had a show on jazzradio berlin for years. the track itself has influences from both producers. tech house meets jazz, what a fascinating concept! freestyle drumming, keyboard jams and effects tied together, creating an original approach to club music. remixers of >gonna b<, marcin czubala (mobilee) and jin choi (contexterrior, private gold, archipel), are two of the hottest producers at the moment. after his excellent streak of releases on mobilee, marcin makes an outstanding debut on senzen and delivers a deeply rooted house remix concentrating on tiny tweaks and variations while carrying them solidly throughout the track. jin, on the other hand, doesn’t let functionality stand in the spotlight of his remix. his music is supposed to touch emotionally and to move the head and the body - and believe me, it does!

over the last nine years, the resopal crew has written another chapter of the german tech house book. with releases by d. diggler, robag wruhme or by shooting stars like paul ritch and johannes heil, resopal has celebrated some of the biggest records from 2001 to 2011. in this spirit... we feel the bassline by talented berlin young producer michael knop. his body of work, weak chin ep needs no introduction. he applies his excellence with searing modern techno beats tweaked with a barrage of sound effects and topped off with a subtle futuristic rave complexity. three tracks on vinyl that are nothing less than groundbreaking.

ten months after vidabs last output, we are back with the debut solo release of our good friend tomas svensson. some may know him as a half of berlin duo subbroomassociation, or as the former live drummer of >schulz & söhne<. tomas started his interest in techno/house during his studies of jazz drums and piano at the udk in berlin, and ended up building his own studio to realize his vision of sound using mostly analog equipment. the swedish native delivers here two tracks that fit perfect the mood of his home country with its huge forests, clear lakes, and wide landscapes. swedish techno with with a detroit soul. enjoy!

after a short production break, the russian techno duo easy changes (denis cast & kilrill silas) are back with a 12 inch on the berlin/london based label, mean records, run by cesare marchese (cesare vs disorder) & federico benedetti (onirik). the lion is also a good drummer fits in nicely with the labels love of minimal techno productions that feature original sounds, moody melodies and deep aural landscapes. easy changes gained recognition in 2007 with two back to back hit releases on foundsound records. in 2009, they were the first ep from nervmusic, a moscow based label that focuses on unconventional techno started by cast, silas and friends. seated comfortably between the avant-garde and the dancefloor, the release has something for everyone. the title track, the lion is also a good drummer is an epic, crawling minimal techno production filled with stripped down percussion and abstract found sounds perfect for after-hours. on the flipside is the uptempo, quirky and tribal burlesque, replete with spliced vocal samples, snares, cymbals, bleeps and claps. for the burlesque remix, french producer doubtingthomas shows off his lifelong obsession with percussion and its rhythmic allure with the addition of a trippy drum solo midway through the track.

a1 – marc poppcke & max von valentiner – never go backimagine berlin, imagine sunrise, imagine the party you left some minutes ago… haha, i know what’s on your mind. and no, i don’t mean those cute summer open air venues your tourist guide talks about. it’s november and the berlin summer has gone. it’s cold, it’s foggy, the shafts of sunlight have to find their way… and yes, it’s fucking beautiful and so is the track.
a2 – lake people – tellap tacleipzig is calling. well known for his debut on kollektiv turmstrasses musik gewinnt freunde lake people impresses with his minimalistic trademark sound that dares to be melodic as well. great stuff for prime times and big rooms but keep away from pyro shows.
b1 – salvatore freda - invictionafter numerous great and ingenious releases on cadenza, liebe*detail, freerange and others, salvatore continues with another effective lesson in hypnosis and self-awareness. dont ask, dont tell, just see for yourself!
b2 – frieder blume – we play for love - frieder sounds like those worldly-wise professionals that definitely know there business. but in fact its his first track on vinyl and we all can imagine what this guy will sound like in a few years. we play for love builds and builds and builds and culminates in a climax… bam! rewind please…

eclipsemusic is pleased to announce the sixth release introducing the talented canadian producer matt thibideau. he is known in toronto, detroit, montreal, & berlin for having performed with the ikes of mike huckaby, akufen, richie hawtin andreleasing music on labels such as mike shannons cynosure and sub-static with hisnew wave-industrial band repair.. matt has a very personal approach to making music that refuses to use software instruments and give free expression to his unlimited passion for the sound of his analog synthesizers. he records directly through a mixer playing his live instruments. this particular feature shines through his deep and warm sound! >when its time< is a typical techouse style track with a solid structure consisting of a straight and bouncy rhythm, deep bass with futuristic chords and techy arpeggiators running over it. the track starts very deep develops into a more raw sound that leaves no survivors on the dance floor! >holding on to you< is a much more dub-oriented track this time we have ambient and rarefied atmosphere which develops progressively over a repetitive bass line and drum machine rhythm with a mixture of chords and pads typically inspired by the basic channel sound. the title track >night drive< (licensed from matts obsolete components record label) is a masterpiece of deep house music vaguely reminiscent of many mid-nineties works from labels like guidance recordings and wave music, that will become an instant classic for all deep-house heads. very melodic and groovy bass line with a mixture of pads, reverberated chords and many delayeffected elements. 7 minutes of pure deepnes

die zweite 12inch-single von farben präsentiert vier tracks. während >eroten reiten auf einen delphin< auf einem zuvor unveröffentlichten thema von ursula bogner beruht, belegen die übrigen drei titel die spontaneität und simplizität von jan jelineks farben-aufnahmen im jahr 2011. dabei wird der frühere farben-wunsch, die sinnlichkeit eines burt-bacharach-songs auf clubmusik zu übertragen, wieder aufgenommen. der in berlin lebende elektronikproduzent veröffentlicht seit 1998 u. a. unter dem pseudonym farben.

cool new ratio? with a surprise doc martin remix...!
about one year ago melon met two old friends from amsterdam lying on the streets of berlin who gave him an old fashion tape. out of respect of his (now homeless junkies) friends he borrowed an old tape deck and gave it a listen. he really liked the track but unfortunately he never found his friends again when he went out looking for them. after playing it for months and getting massive feedback the decision has been made to put it out and complimented with two fantastic remixes by california house legend doc martin & newcomer tom ruijg from amsterdam, its now available for everybody. p.s. guys i owe you a fix!

possibly the biggest release on off in 2011 so far! off 26 introduces two new talents to the label: berlin-based friends daniel dexter and nhan solo. they deliver >our thang<, a dead-funky discofied summer tune, based on samples which all lovers of 90ies hiphop will dearly remember. on the flip side, labelowner andre crom & martin dawson deliver a deeper, more linear interpretation, based around a mighty bassline and an epic slowdown in the main break. second remix comes from luca lozano & sacha robotti, who score with a raw and toolish groove, adding further elements of the sampled song and additional sweet vocals.

der dritte raum is a super project at constant altitude flight. releasing music on labels such as harthouse and cocoon since the early ninetees der dritte raum has established a name for high quality electronic music and a live show you will never forget. with their Überhit >swing bop< 3 years ago der dritte raum has kicked off a still going roaring-20s-hype in the electronic music scene in berlin and anywhere else. now here we go with the remixes of this epic piece. the question was: who could remix this unique track withut making it just a worse copy of the original? the answer: t.raumschmiere might turn this track into a dirty wrecking rave monster and as a complementary addition, acid pauli might be a good choice to take the track in a totally different direction. well, t.raumschmiere did what we expected, just in an even better way than we hoped, and acid pauli did as well. he gave swing bop an outfit that makes it sound even more dreamy and out of time and space. enjoy!

daniel dexter is the latest new talent to emerge as part of the poker flat crew. after some success with his strong, futuristic productions on exploited records, the berlin based producer has found a new home in steve bugs modern house magnate. the moody, storming >no house for old men< is a superb example of daniels talents. synth-heavy, dramatic and restrained, this slow burning houser lifts and climbs into spacey, ecstatic moments as its detroit influenced keys and carl craig-esque peaks bring it home. the groovy >who knows motorcity< works a simple yet addictive theme in a powerful pop-house moment, especially designed for summertime evening action. clean, bright percussion and rubbery synths flavour this delightful second course! the deeper, hypnotic tones of >the other day< have an almost soundtrack quality as subtle key changes and detailed sound design take this track into more subterranean realms. melancholic yet positive in its resolution, this is future house music in its prime!

delta is a symbolic and poetic place, the space, where the flow, the river enters the ocean or the sea. the delta gives the feeling of the rhythm. the delta is the supreme destination. delta refers to hanging out in the street in a city (in the district, for example). essential in the delta is the spirit of conscious spontaneity, collaborations with artists, instant moves, jam sessions, highs and the lows, the right thing, night, stories to tell and other basic habits from the primordial age of music. the delta provides one with a primal style for the music. it is the place where music begins. recorded in moscow, nikolina gora, russia and in berlin, germany and mixed by daniel maloso in barcelona.

jazzanova lands on wurst! early dj support comes from soul clap, radio slave, dimitri from paris, ewan pearson, sebo k, rob mello and slow hands. weve done the unthinkable, scored the unimaginable, and wrangled none other than jazzanova (!) for an über-limited one-sided vinyl-only release. while >i can see< feat ben westbeech came out a few years back, filippo moscatellos most excellent disco version never saw the light of day - until now, of course. doesnt much more sunshine-filled and soul-drenched than this stellar take on the esteemed berlin collectives original, and we are both honored and humbled to get to work with both jazzanova and their label sonar kollektiv, and of course filippo himself, on this very special release. filippo moscatello started to produce music in 1994 under the dj naughty moniker, and has since gone on to work with labels like gigolo, eskimo, and moodmusic to name but a few, releasing the artist albums disco volante (gigolo) and pagliaccio (moodmusic), as well as the acclaimed compilation, one naughty night in berlin (eskimo). in addition to his production work, filippo maintains a club residency at cookies in berlin called luv dancin where hes played along special guests like moodymann, jerome sydenham, ata, bottin and loud e.

barcelona-born rainer grew up in california, but it was his move to london in 2007 which led him to start collaborating with cesare vs disorder, playing out around town and beginning his production career with the popular >neuralgia< under his belt. the obvious next step for him was to hitch his wagon onto the well-traveled route onto berlin where he now presents his second release on cesares serialism records. >x-berg to san diego<, a production in conjunction with the labels head honcho, a paean to his newly adopted stomping ground and the town of his youth. a tough house beat leads with a funky guitar picking out groove along the way, an oscillating vocal hovering into earshot as old-school snares jack it up.

berlin-based music label mutual musik is proud to announce its second release prince of the night. the title track from johannes beck springs from the universal urge to explore the night and to let oneself go. floating between bliss and melancholy, strolling like in a dream, this track goes out to all princes and princesses of the night.

decas are the artists. neaples is the place. you can have an instant breeze of his seafunk thru the carefully layered harmonics of dramas, a saxophone is hosting the grooves of this heavy blended and heavy rolled drum story. the suspance gets heavier and heavier while the drums and percussions starts movin into a total robotic-jam-style groove, chugging over a straight drum machine beat. the remaining of the neaples-funk-band is joining now, bassguitar and some guitar tappin.. but the whole thing get seriously stripped down while some deep-as-fuck chords drops in. pure 8am party drama. on the flip our berlin based italian talents analogue cops deliver some more dj friendly version of the original take, the first one see all the harmonics carefully re-layered over an overdrivin tape-house beat, lucretio and marieu full on machines for a proper panorama bar anthem. ua! on the second take our analog heroes are goin heavy on dubs, a sweepy synth and a chugging groove drive the track into a more steppy direction, the voice and the chords are now used to hypnotize the dancefloor. zombie breakdance. 350 copies limited edition only vinyl

presenting the >cant buy love ep<, wolf + lamb records invite you to enter the visceral world of aquarius heaven. a rhapsody of sonic flow both rough and smooth with heavy doses of sleaze and deviant, lust-filled rap, the aquarius heaven experience is nothing short of electrifying. when brian brewster met dop in paris, 2005, the former reggae, dancehall and hip- hop singer was to undergo an electronic rebirth. during the hours of studio lock-up that followed, tapping into a wealth of musical influences, the arresting sound of aquarius heaven was born. after the outstanding debut >7 days ep< on circus company caught the attention of gadi mizrahi of wolf + lamb whilst in berlin (where brewster is now based), it wasnt long before the label made aquarius part of the crew and the >cant buy love ep< was brought to light. a heady mix of sexually charged house funk, a-side >cant buy love< bumps and grinds down a bassline made of rubber with the heavy depth of brewsters vocals in the driving seat. playful and bold with singer dani sicilianos yearning interruptions, the mood is a twisted fusion of love and filth. already a staple in the sets of soul clap and wolf + lamb, >cant buy love< has all the markings of a cult record in the sex music hall of fame

somewhere up in the sky… thats the spirit, good and bad, for legends and other space-cowboys. the space for original characters like elbee bad, who did his thing back in new york in the 80ties with his early house ep on nu groove- with just a big bang and elbee was there, from the very beginning to now. by now he lives and works in berlin and yet remained a true school house pioneer that even dj hell couldnt resist to capture his talent for a retro-perspective release of his on >international deejay gigolo< & peepz like matias aguayo and his cómeme-posse recall on him.

london based james what is a well known musician treading the more left-field and creative end of the tech house spectrum. his numerous eps alongside dan berkson have become poker flat classics in recent years and so we are happy to welcome him in his first solo effort for the label. lead cut >it feels wrong< fuses classic analog bass with lively synth work and satisfyingly complex question-answer passages that whisk us away into a sweaty, late night vibe immediately. berlin based lord of the witching hour lee curtiss adds his touch on the remix side with a killer acidic treatment of >it feels wrong<. tense, soulful and teasing, this warm and super playable version will no doubt find its way to freaky dancefloors everywhere. >in the dark< slowly builds edgy, spooky elements in a deep, dark and sexy trip. combining smooth chords and keys, with trippy synths and sinister vocal snippets, whats bright and clear production works wonders in this slow-burner.

dikso from berlin drop another amazing ep ! after five super sound singles here is diksos very first artist ep and of course it will be daniel solars job to do the kick-off. his retrospect ep features the most zippy stuff dikso has released so far without being an ordinary house record. the percussion is minimalistically filigree, the atmosphere is fluffy and aniyas voice on >can you really know< comes direct from outer space... er... down under. dikso006 a1 - summer, sunshine, a picnic basket full of delicious food and wine and someone to share a walk in the park. sounds cheesy? yes, you are right... but remember that every park has its dark corners. dikso006 a2 - daniel teamed up with aniya ouu, the grand lady of >melbourne deepcast<, a blog from a few down under brothers and sisters in spirit. intercontinental and interblogospheric, interdisciplinary and... (fill in a word of your choice that begins with inter) dikso006 b1 - thee role model of deepslowmonudiscoeditchicagoacidwhateverhouse. after finishing two longplayers earlier this year he spent some time to refine daniels track. the original shines through but everything is a little bit deeper, darker, stronger. its still a walk in the park, but imagine the voices of owls and some undefinable dark shadows instead of wine, women & song. dikso006 b2 - we still have his brilliant ep for permanet vacation in our ears and synapses and now he is here with a stirring remix for prime times and big rooms. the boys from dikso borrowed pional, probably spains best kept secret, from john talabots hivern discs camp who delivers a real monster of a track. john, they have promised to give him back, later... someday... somehow

we would like to introduce a new fresh artist on 200 records – 23 year old constantijn lange from berlin with his debut >on the hunts / morning dew<. he has created two perfect summer tunes with uplifting grooves, beautiful melodies and great breaks.

clr is celebrating release number 050 with another impressive remix package. it features two remixes of two different tracks from tommy four sevens recently released debut album >primate< (clrcd010). for this occasion, none other than one of the undisputed founding fathers of detroit techno and minimal techno, robert hood, and the genre-bending dub-techno pioneer sigha have come to the table and have delivered two massive remixes of those highly innovative tracks by the british born, berlin-based producer. also included in the package are >verge<, the original track remixed by sigha, as well as another original track by the name of >g<. to understand why this is a truly memorable release, one has to know that tommy four sevens approach to music is unlike a musician. .

dachshund is a living example of a musician who doesnt take himself too seriously: his lively productions, where his passion for experimentation in rhythm and sound are clearly evident, stand out as a welcome departure from the sterile work of so many other heads in the scene. besides humor, an easy-going jamaican feeling characterizes his sets and tracks: the swiss dj, producer and label owner has his musical roots in reggae, which he has followed all the way to the sunny caribbean. no wonder then, that we can hear the dub influence in his current musical output. true to form, dachshund presents his latest release on the berlin record label, highgrade records, where the beats will blister through the speakers in unexpected combinations and grooves. around every corner there seems to lurk a new mad idea or sound sequence from dachshund, who leads his listeners equally as he misleads them on the dancefloor. with a sly musical wink, he offers us three tracks >shall we<, >soul free< and >tell me< produced with sophistication and elegance. these tunes switch almost imperceptibly into a grooving mind-trip that perfectly fits the title of the ep. this is the equivalent of a relaxing invitation to dance: >shall we<? … but, of course!
