raised in haifa, israel, now located in amsterdam, this duo of sonic explorers have had acclaimed releases on a host of cult labels like psychostasia, underground quality, philpot & many more chelm is burning is the first in a four part ep & dvd series, an imaginary soundtrack to paul wegeners 1920 german silent film classic >the golem: how he came into the world< based on the centuries old clay monster which haunts jewish folklore. grounded in jazz, the duo soon began experimenting with electronic music, fusing influences as disparate as ornette coleman, can, mr fingers & cabaret voltaire into what can best be described as music from the future, gazing deeply into the past.

strictly limited to 750 copies, no-repress, no-digital. dont sleep!... onur engin returns with no less than four exceptionally lovingly crafted edits in an another 12 inch. after his releases from gamm, disco deviance, square and from his own edit imprint, onur engin has garnered a reputation as of one of the very best editors around. supported by the djs like greg wilson & dimitri from paris, his selection and treatment on this 12inch is, as ever, impeccable. the re-production and mastering breathes new life into the songs and presents them shining anew for todays discerning dancefloors.

the album >contraband< was originally released in 1976. its the first album that features the former cuby and the blizzards blues guitarist eelco gelling which makes it a very guitar orientated album.

terry francis... a perennial focal point of the tech-house sound in its purest form. a sound of detroit-inspired melodies and hypnotic bass lines impossible to resist. a sound never losing its purpose on the dance floor. these two tracks are signposts for the genre and stand out as two of terrys best to this day.

solomon s remix is already rated one of his best to date and perfectly refletcs his flair for the sub-heavy downtempo funk and club-feel. expect the cool underground clubs to have the solomun remixes running for the entire summer season 2011.

one of vahagns best friends (tiago from dfa, clearmont 56, golf channel, etc), has a residency at lisbons top club lux called trust. after attending one of these trust nights, this lisbon-based armenian musician arrived in his studio right after the club night and wrote the original material for this record in the course of a few hours. the result was so special, that soon groovement had it signed upon hearing, and contacted tiago to be the remixer for the track dedicated to him. a record with a story like this is bound to be good!

played and supported by: adam x, ben klock, samuli kemppi, dvs1, edit-select, norman nodge, oliver ho, perc, shifted, cio d or, max_m, lucy and more... m_rec ltd continues to ascend as one of the the most interesting labels in the techno scene. today s release sees giorgio gigli (prologue music, zooloft, electric deluxe, elettronica romana, etc.) sign two original tracks and a remix of one of the most important artists of the past few years: terence fixmer (electric deluxe, prologue music, etc.). together, their approach creates something special and unique. in its original track giorgio gigli delivers the best of its hypnotic and psychedelic techno. a great atmosphere, where the ambient pads meet the dark bass sound which made giorgio one of the most significant artists in the new techno scene. the side closes with an ambient session, a drone of pure electronic,dark synth, making the idea of the state of mind of his own individual unconscious.terence fixmers version is decidedly more rough, stripped of certain atmospheres, highlighting a more hypnotic and repetitive attitude. this rough sounds have for many years marked terence fixmer as an icon of the techno world. this is a great release of modern techno!

plastic rules is a fresh label that will offer underground quality techno music in the nightclub scene, selecting the best and hot artist at the moment. plastic style will go from melodic techno to minimal house untill electro influences searching to create a unique style that will give a cool impulse to the electronic platform.felix bernhardt is an impulsive, minimal producer who creates slippery, undetermined and sizzling sounds, which have been released to date on german labels such as hardshower, kaufe musik and afulab - with credits and plays by some of the biggest name djs such as dj hell, laurent garnier, and george morel amongst others. remixes by don ruijgrok & audiomatiques!

gutis name has been on everyones lips of late. his collaboration with dubshape -every cow has a bird- was championed by pretty much every house jock on the planet and his recent debut album on loco dices desolat received widespread acclaim. now hes teamed up with luca bacchetti - who has built up a solid reputation with releases on imprints on labels such as ovum recordings, wagon repair, supernature and be as one - for their first collaborative release. the esa nena quiere ep contains two sizzling slices of latin-flavoured loveliness, both of which are instilled with an appropriately warm blaze of summer sunshine. both extremely creative and massively complimentary of one another, this is a collaboration that looks likely to blossom in the future, but for now we caught up with them both to discuss the eps origins, their studio time together, and where exactly where the record is best enjoyed

downwards sidestep expectations again with this glorious limited 10inch vinyl release from tropic of cancer. two beautifully dark compositions that remind slightly of angelo badalamenti in >twin peaks< mode, or maybe reservoir dogs, if it had been filmed with a huge cavern as the soundstage. processed guitar and drones wash swampily over a simple drumbox beat, as eerie snatches of melody float in and out. as badalamenti himself said of his own work, >my (musical) world is a little bit dark... a little bit off-center. i think of it as tragically beautiful. that is how i would describe what i love best: tragically beautiful.< seems to sum this release up quite nicely too...

it took a while but we finally got this great remix ep together from catz n dogz escape from zoo album. tanner ross flexes his e-funk biceps and shows us that just a little bit goes a long way with huge bass and sparse vox. this remix goes against the grain the right way, showing restraint and power at the same time. the main man of detroit, carl craig also delivers a sparse and beautiful mix, 1st giving us a lesson in how to properly tweak the space echo and then bringing it back with classic strings and subs. both mixes are getting major support from all across the globe from sebo k to troy pierce to ewan pearson to martyn to l-vis 1990 to james zabiela - overall probably the best feedback we had in a while on a record to be honest.. all great for our kids at the detroit youth foundation where the mothership label donates 100% of profits! also, special thanks to matt colton at air studios, london for donating a mastering session for free to cut this record and support our school.

the bearfunk bandwagon just keeps rolling! not content with providing some of the best moments in leftfield dance we again head back to italy so clap rules can show us their >golden hands<.
clap rules is the new pseudonym of fabrizio mammarella, andrea gabriele and max leggieri: who in their own words >make experiments with dance music<. after well received ep’s for labels like tiny sticks & dissident and remixes for dfa artist michoacan, new yorks in flagranti and french electronic music pioneer etienne de crecy. they have caught the attention of djs and music lovers from many different scenes. with a deep love for vintage equipment and recording techniques they mix this up with a fresh modern approach to concoct electronic music with no boundaries, which in itself is what bearfunk is all about, so this marriage was made in heaven.

>celebration, florida< casts scenes of dreamy characters and stories interwoven like a block of primetime tv. among the tales: a young woman who sets off to find a secret paradise, a teenager who enters a boxing gym in catskill, ny, a late night host recounting his rise to fame to his honeybee while traveling in a private jet, shady degenerates who get lost in a mystery concerning a honda civic, a young girl who crimps her hair and spies her dead father driving down the road, a wall street scandal hits a little too close to home, and even a trip through space to find long forgotten hollywood parties and hopefully make it back there in time to walk down the red carpet. the felice brothers are: ian felice, james felice, christmas, greg farley, and david turbeville.

a1: talk to me - matthew kyle delivers on this one! a huge track, great vocals as always and a brilliant beat, coupled with keys and light percussion. top class!
b1: anger - what a groove! heavy beat, cool percussion ­ this will get you moving! vocals stick in your head and the bass line is subtle but great! so good!
b2: the thrill - mk doing what he does best, the slow grooving track. beautiful. fits so well in the small world disco catalogue.

fina has been soaking up the sunshine over the past few weeks procrastinating over the best time to release its next summer cut. with global warming rubbing everyone up the right way, we feel now is as good a time as any to drop fina 004. originally from south africa, esa mervin granger may now be more glasgow concrete towers than table top mountain but his grooves are pure house pedigree. from his releases under his mervin granger moniker to exclusive remixes for ooft! the cape town cat was a natural choice for a very >summer< shuffling three track jaunt.title track veloore is immediately recognisable from its soft analogue piano chords, amalgamated with a dreamy filtered vocal and a bass line which nods to the acidic side of deep house. on the remix is erefaan pearce, a fellow south african who pins soul to every production he lays his hands on. reworking vocals and bass lines into an infectious frenzy that is almost impossible to resist, erefaan draws that sunshine feeling from every angle. think las salinas and you are nearly there. completing the ep on the flipside is galaxy, a deep vocal number paying homage to all the lazy dogs. cosmic deep house aimed purely at the terrace. fina records 004: we present… esa

such an intense, variegated, and singularly saccharin sound can only come from the mind of someone whos in love with life and music. its what puppy love sounds like for our generation. following the paul woolford remix of t. williams and terri walkers heartbeat comes local action 006, the first 12inch release by an amazing new artist from manchester, uk, called damu. after this, hes got material penciled in for blackdowns keysound label and more. the title track, a stand-out from girl units xlr8r podcast last year, is one of the best tunes weve put out yet, full of colour with just the right amount of lushness to it. while a lot of uk dance music right now seems to use colourful synths in an unimaginative way, damus drip, glow and fizz at every turn in the same way that ill blu or funkystepz do. listening to mermaids like diving head-first into a lagoon. after that youve got three more killers: the iron assault of >beat of zen< and the few-more-intense >sequinny<, plus a ‘beat of zen remix by chicago juke titans dj rashad and dj earl. early support comes from lv, girl unit, sinden, brodinski, starkey and more

2nd strike by the moensters on their own playground. charming, melodic originals combined with superb remixes from end of tape and daso (systematic, stil vor talent, connaisseur, my best friend).

hallucination limited delivers a limited edition vinyl only release from none other than fellow new yorker… zev of wolf + lamb. gathered here are zevs strongest outings for the club since the brilliant >forget the world feat. beckford<. we dare say this is his best work to date with >queen of hearts< being one of the freshest takes we have heard on good ole house music this year. pushing all the right buttons, but also some most would never think to. queen of hearts feat. panu moon the initial groove instantly does what all great house does, but what follows are the contemplative vocals of a showman on the road via panu moons soft country drawl… playfully tweaked by zev adding an edge without taking away from panus croon. an unexpected techno vibe begins to ebb and flow over the groove yet it all magically stays together through the voice of a man searching for the queen of his heart. its house music with both an edge and sense of humor not unlike paperclip people, but in a vein more akin to >every now and then< by ralph falcon

in denmark, there rages a lively and experimental techno scene - and its not only a recent phenomenon. the best proof are phono and kemi, two danish imports to the berlin record label, highgrade records. the two chaps complement each other in a musically virtuoso fashion: phono, jacob thiessen, spent his childhood playing around with sequencers and drum machines: over the years he has stuck to this passion and as such, has developed a reputation as an experienced house and techno producer. kim kemi, by contrast, has been a dj since the beginning, and since the 90s has been one of the key figures in the copenhagen club scene. together they have not only performed regularly at the biggest events in denmarks capital, but have also ensured through their many releases, ever changing accents and atmospheres on the turntables. this wealth of combined musical experience can be heard instantly on their latest outing for highgrade – >decompose<. the three tracks, >decompose<, >exterminators< & >last night< assemble rhythms that come from punk, elegant voices and dizzying loops a multi-layered sound excursion. the result is a perfectly produced ep, but one that has not been ironed smooth. with the >made in denmark< seal of quality, phono and kemi bring some extra depth to the party attitude

nice price deal !!! peaktime! this one definitely qualifies as a summer record. a.j. holmes is the self-titled >king of the new electric hi-life<. after moving back to london three years ago the guitarist and dj has played quite a role in the booming afrobeat scene there and formed a new band called >the hackney empire<. for the summer of seven series he contributes two remixes of tracks from the very best and xylitol that are simply made for the summertime love.

the debut album from adele on vinyl lp.

the most beautiful time of the year... summertime! you wish for it a long time and then it seems to last just a little moment. now, this beautiful time stays alive... morgenklang gives you back these summer feelings by the new >verao ep<. a varied mixture of music for the best time of your life.

big with: matt walsh, jef k, kolombo, cosmo vitelli, joakim, luke solomun, morpheus, slam, alexkid, anthony collins,... meet sex judas (sex to his mother). a sexual vigilante and underground musical entrepreneur working in tandem with his trusted sidekick ricky since the dawn of time (or the death of jesus). myth has it that after the infamous >kiss<, judas was damned to live on earth for eternity. he decided to make the best of it and delved head first into his true passion, music. known as a motherfucker on the >uggav< since his early teens, he emerged in the underground sounds of judea and never looked back. judas & ricky state they are on a mission to play music that reflects the real life, in all its horny, absurd, joyous and yes sometimes evil ways…with emphasis on the bass of course! so what you now hold in your hands is the glorious first vinyl offering from sex judas and ricky >sex according to judas< telling the story as it is, blending the old school sounds of chicago with a modern day longing for bass and ass, with a steaming sex toy edit by tim from paris to go.

first pressing in ltd coloured vinyl ... solomon s remix is already rated one of his best to date and perfectly refletcs his flair for the sub-heavy downtempo funk and club-feel. expect the cool underground clubs to have the solomun remixes running for the entire summer season 2011.

in addition to the >best of ambient< compilation from john beltran, two remixes are made to honour one of our favourite electronic music producers of all time. the a-side gives us a reinterpretation of >brilliant flood< from rising star kassem mosse together with his studiomate mix mup. this remix smoothly pimps up the track whilst leaving the atmosphere of the original intact. on the b-side, sven weisemann made a composition as a tribute to john beltran, which contains elements of different original cuts. the result is svens glorify tribute mix, a dreamy epic adventurous nine-minute masterpiece in three parts

aah, how we have missed them! the fine young gentlemen that are channel x, two of stil vor talents most active producers of meticulously crafted and deeply energetic tech-house smash hits. and just in time for the open-air season they now come back with two very convincing pieces of dancefloor art. first up is >little symphony<, an epic space opera that takes it cues from early 90s techno and mixes it up with post-modern grooves and beats. the wide and open spaces are filled with some very hymnal string patterns that are given a final treatment with a reverbed and high-pitched vocal sample. contrast that with the rather jittery beat and a subbass as deep as the frequencies will go and you got yourself a substantially clear bit of techno that is best imagined when it is dark and only some beams of air tell you where you are. channel x do not produce, they direct and all of the sounds are their actors! on the flip things get more light-hearted and set for the daylight hours as well. >steamboat willie< is a heavily sample-orientated swinging piece of jack. the rhythm guitar lead the way on top of a clap-based loop that sets the basis for some very jazzy interpretations along the way. clarinets, trumpets, percussions, brass, effects and even some talking vocal samples are all allowed to join in this hedonistic big band that is at play. this is one for the sunshine, this is one for the smiles on the faces, this is one to feel instantly good about yourself and everything around you. two very different tracks on this ep, but both equally stand out for themselves

what hypercolour does best is to consistently release forward-thinking and interesting electronic music so its fitting that the label celebrates its 20th full hypercolour release and 5th anniversary with a simple 12 inch ep that displays the labels exciting and irreverent take on house and techno

sphera pushes forward with a whole ep from mr. butch (cecille, bouq, great stuff) and a massive remix pack featuring anton pieete (100% pure, intacto), broombeck (opossum, my best friend, frequenza) and the residents siwell (mistakes music, hotfingers), danny serrano and emanuele inglese hq house music !!!

freaky oldshool psychobilly music. thats the best words for mentalics style at the moment. listen to his funky >jukebugs< vinyl. summer-burner

cassegrain stands for a concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror. but on prologue cassegrain stands for the new excellent duo (huseyin evirgen, alex tsiridis) with the clear direction to fulfill prologues modern sound architecture in best form. brilliant techno tracks with deepest dub feelings and enriched synth structures build a phantastic world of liquid sound relives. exceptional ep!

mule music happy to announce the joe claussell remix of kuniyuki >all these things<. we have been waiting almost 4 years…. we have asked him when we were going to make the remix package kuniyuki-remixed. now finally his remix is arrived! joe claussell invited his favorite instrument player and let them re-performance the original version of kuniyuki. the remix is 22min which is composed of 7 parts.the first half is quiet and beautiful,then after the speech of martin luther king during the break,then emotional second half come. we think this great remix is one of the best work of joe claussell. on b side,kuniyuki made self ambient version. the painting of record sleeve is by kuniyuki father! so dont miss this beautiful record.

another killer, dubbin minimal detroit techno at it best !!! dj support from: james ruskin, ben sims, norman nodge, surgeon, adam beyer, adam x, deetron, samuli kemppi, cio d,or

vinyl only!! styrax records presents the last part from the serie >in loving memory<. the release come with an artwork of james marsh, former best known for collaborating with the seminal 80s band talk talk, producing all their iconic album covers. the folder is used for the acceptance of all >in loving memory< parts 1-4. as bonus the special 1 (2x12inch vinyl) with rare and classic tracks from ron trent, larry heard, herbert, isolée, reggie dokes and dj qu

tuccillo is a rare producer as he lives and works in ibiza all year round rather than flies in for the summer. the white island is without doubt the most overused and abused place on earth for dance music promotion, but beneath the glam superficial surface a real scene of native island talent is emerging. so when it came to making an ep for 2020vision we pushed the artist as far as we felt he could go, to explore new untried directions and show his diversity. tuccillo showed his true spirit and worked though a few knockbacks from our a/r team until we were happy we had the best ep possible at this moment

these are two of the best t. flynn tracks ive heard. budgie smuggler is a fresh club jam that sounds like deez nuts and keep listening is a red alert, 4 alarm big room only rocker.

the -makeovers- project is a compilation of some of claudes best re-twists, some of which are so far removed they can almost be considered original works. this special edition vinyl includes one of the most sought after remixes, -warpaint- originally by pocket 808 in australia, vonstroke turned this into a late night anthem in 2007. played by techno djs, dubstep djs, and everyone in between this track was never cut to vinyl until now. on the flip side claude remixed the nublu orchestra out of new york. he was never completely happy with the original version of the remix and hes gone back and re-made it into a very special piece of music including a new vocal sample from his wife aundy who also did the vocal effects in whos afraid of detroit? this collection was put together with the theme that a remix can be an inspiring starting point for an entirely new piece of music. these are two of the deeper and darker remixes but we think you agree they are also very special.

with vocal and consistent support from marcel dettmann, ben klock, and levon vincent, among many others, furesshu finds himself in the company of technos best and brightest - where his uniquely staggered and lurching brand of techno belongs, blurring and obscuring the lines of geography and scene. downstate is a hypnotic slice of big room techno thats bound to solidifyl this mans vision. on side b brendon moeller remixes under his echologist guise and adds a funked-out twisted acidic psychedelia to the affair.

mental torments records has been found by dutch labelowner & artist mike drama, who is a well known character nowadays in the (hard)techno scene! bringing you the best (hard) techno that will put holes in your speaker similar to the impact of a 500 ton meteorite! and guarantee dancefloors shaking beats like earthquakes that mother nature even cant handle! so for all those who cannot sleep at night.., who can only survive by injecting dangerous drums into their system on a weekly basis - mental torments will be your saviour!

andre lodemann is being heralded by many as a leading light in deep house, with a solid back catalogue taking in labels such as simple, moods & grooves, best works and room with a view.

pursuit grooves releases her solo full length cd entitled >frantically hopeful< this summer on tectonic. the album continues rhythmically where last years >fox trot mannerisms< ep left off, but launches into a different head space with lyrics touching on current affairs and technological dependency. juggling all angles from production, songwriting, mcing and singing, pursuit grooves continues what she does best, fusing elements of hip hop, house and broken beats with sensual melodies and vocals. preceeding the release of the the cd-only 11 track set is this limited run vinyl ep, presenting six of the album’s more floor-friendly tunes.

>dysfunction<, hannulelauris first ep on i m a cliche goes beyond the dreamy, cosmic atmosphere of their previous releases and remixes on other eurodisco labels. the duos new sound still sends us floating but with an edgier, more toxic ride. hannu and lauri aka hannulelauri created a track for i m a cliche, a remix of botoxs hit >blue steel<. this track inspired the label to make more room for the finnish duo and bring their new music into its discography.
these two have been active figures in helsinkis club scene for quite a while, producing music together since 2006. when they crossed the borders of finland, the name of the band was pretty hard to retain but it didnt take long for all the bigwigs of modern disco to memorize it. two originals and a selection of remixes: >dysfunction< steps into the territory of deep melodic house with a classic resonance >box of box< throws around some fun rough beats toby tobias remix of dysfunction is iced with elegance and soulfulness. populettes remix of >box of box< is the new best friend of house dancers.

support from cocoon juggernaut sven vath to mobilees multi-skilling deep tech lass maya jane coles as well as seth troxler and luciano. the youandme rmx is their best to date! pick your favorite

mr beatnick has played an active part in the burgeoning uk beats scene which has produced talents like bullion and paul white. his best known track >i know all the bitches< featuring the vocal talents of ahu, became one of the anthems of this movement, thanks to numerous spins on the likes of bbc radio 1 and rinse fm. in his music you can hear the influence of whole generations of music from mantronix to the 90s bay area scene and beyond, and the new ep >synthetes< takes this approach up a gear, exploring a path between the crackling breaks and samples of old, and the dancefloor music of now. with early support from braiden (rinse fm), slackkk (numbers), bullion (young turks), mosca (nightslugs / fat city) and gilles peterson (bbc radio 1), the >synthetes ep< looks set to find a unique place in the record boxes of bass addicts and beat diggers alike this summer.

a true showcase of vesicles creativity, versatility and dark bassline science, the we are lost ep contains 4 deep and dark dubstep excursions and makes a strong case for this finnish duos inclusion among the genres best and brightest of the new generation of sound visionaries. the title track we are lost is a beautiful, dark anthem combining haunting vocals with live guitars, intricate melodies, precision drum programming and fat slabs of bass. the result is a well-rounded, catchy and melancholic masterpiece. smoke curls switches up the program, engulfing the listener in deliberately lo-fi sound fx and percussion whilst conjuring up deeply emotional, melodic bliss by juxtaposing a dusty piano with a soaring, distorted, filtered leadline of 8-bit chiptune charme. destined to become a dark breakstep anthem,mythos harks back to the late 90s metalheadz sound with its epic synthlines, eery vocals and massive, growling reece bass constructions. redemption completes this vicious circle with a journey to the depths of darkness, attesting to vesicles true mastery of uniquely filthy bassline construction on this stripped-down vision of despair. to ensure that this ep looks as mindblowingly sick as it sounds, the vinyl release features stunning, limited-edition full sleeve artwork!

delsin is proud to present this best of ambient -compilation by one of their all-time producer heroes john beltran. 16 tracks presented on triple vinyl and cd, including collage of dreams as featured on hbo s six feet under series, and other material from his sought after albums originally released on peacefrog and r&s. with extensive liner notes from the artist himself. really lovely..tip!

new life is melodic hardtechno at its best.floating strings over rolling beats. coming combines old skool rimshots with strong techno and has a catchy and famous vocal break.limited edition on red vinyl.

to remain a discerning platform for underground artists with integrity is easier said than done in todays music market. alphahouse vows never to forget its roots in the afterhours basements from whence it came. in that spirit, we would like to welcome two up-and-coming italians to the family with release number twenty. good friends alessandro stefanio aka buck, and andrea santoro aka santorini, both from puglia, proudly represent the new school of deep thinking producers from a country not generally known for such restraint. if you have been following santorini or bucks output of late, you will know that italy is more than just the land of shuffled techno.. there is a deeper music movement in the country, and these guys are two of the best.

alex cortex >unshell< is the follow up to his acclaimed >i wont conform< (pom22) and the foretaste for his upcoming album which is going to be released on pomelo this coming fall.
>unshell< features 4 modern dancefloor tracks in best cortex style, characterized by tight rhythmic structures and a unique and irrestistible hypnotic power.
from deep stumbling house grooves with piano stabs and a male vocal admiring >your sexy moves< and a chicago jacker with a repetitive voice on the a side, to athmospheric dark techno with warped sound effects and breakbeat house layered with modulating 8-bit sounds on the flip, this record shows once more alex cortex skills to move off the beaten tracks in his very own style.
