once again, lump sticks to his guns and brings you strangely funky tunes to make this world a better place . it s too late. the world has gone sombre and our man walks the desolate streets. the femme fatale is there, right under the street lights. the gansgster are all around. bobby has been shot and all the junkies are surrounding the dealer in the back alley. this is no house as you know it. this is harcore funk. it s noir, it s dirty, it s dangerous and risqué. run. the cops are coming...

the three brothers are back with their second 12inch for ed banger records - stupid bitches, which defines their sound better than ever and affirms their personality among the ed banger roster. the title track doesnt sound like a love song, but trust me, its dsls way to say i love you. a pure zoukadisco tune, get your platform sneakers on! remixes are provided by data for the perfect sunset soundtrack and new kid on the block rynecologist from toronto for a more booming version. j men bats les couilles could be a no.1 hip hop hit if akon & pit bull rap on it. here we prefer the dsl flow.

voyeurrhythm crew returns with an splendin follow up on the ep1 (which was sold out on the day it came out!). and this one might even be better! hollywood nights has a dirty chi-town influenced house track with a phat bassline... think early days of frankie knuckles! megadon betamax did a cheeky cover version of one of our all-time favorite electronic disco tracks... changed into >he cant love you< (he completly reprogrammed and recorded the track!). and ben sun, suplier of the fantastic >when you looked< track on ep1 has another extremely solid track again called victoria park.. goose bumps all over from the first bar! another winner.

4 classic pieces re edited, re structured by bottin (known for his italians do it better release). strange conenction for this italian with the us. but we are happy that the magick edits allstars took mr bottin in their crew... big tip..

played by karotte !!! with his newest ep on wagon repair (ghosts in the ai - wag058), mathew jonson looks to both the past and future to create a stunning release. track 1 - ghosts in the ai - is the first solo production that was made in wagon repairs new berlin studios. finally, in a real place to work, and with a lot of new gear to play with, mathew focuses on evoking both the future and technology to wonderful affect. track 2 - technology - comes from mathews past as it was created around the same time as tracks like octagon came out on iiwii. originally, it was going to be the first cut on his debut album that he was planning to release. on the day that mathew was looking for a b-side track for the ghosts in the ai ep, his brother, nathan (hrdvsion), played it over the phone asking him why he had not released it, as it was one of nathans favourites. it worked much better than the other track that was going to be on here so thanks, hrdvsion. track 3 - the alchemist - comes from mathews involvement this summer producing the music score for the old classic silent film faust, which was screened, complete with cobblestone jazz playing the score live, at the 2009 timewarp festival. the alchemist was written for the scene when faust is working in his laboratory then walks out into the snow to summon the devil to help with his work. a fitting piece indeed!

techhead toolbox is a vinyl series concept brought to you by techhead recordings based on the idea that the most basic tools are simple machines. the audible result aims in crossing the line between techno as we know it and techno as we dont. each record is inspired by the usage of different tools and each tool plays a significant role in each record. the always innovative duo of john karagiannis and paylipservice (techhead recordings, soulaccess, relatives, techment) put out tonsil guillotine while perc remixes this special gem. the surreal scissors was already great, this is even better! get into the concept!

die nächste kts strahler ep , nun auf diynamic music !!! they have come a long way…. remixes for hot chip, releases on cocoon, and part of the diynamic family from the very beginning. christian hilscher & nico plagemann, better known as kollektiv turmstrasse. they return with one of their finest tunes to date. always loyal to their own label-mission - music wins friends (musik gewinnt freunde), this new release upholds this principle! with this new ep, they once again confirm that they are one of the very best in their class. and we are certain it will win them many new supporters for sure!

powerful uk techno , 3 track monster ep

the particular view on a musical future might have been considerably different when olaf hilgenfeld (berlin) met iftah gabbai (jerusalem) for first sessions in 2004. the piano player hilgenfeld used the accordion that time mainly, whilst gabbai was using all instruments available, a computer was among those more by chance. only one year later the duo skinnerbox played regularly on such uplifting, innovative off-partys that came up in the new techno generation again.
that was just the beginning. skinnerbox have developed a purely electronically composed and performed music (partly featuring vocals by elle_p) – that is not based on loops but improvised techno inspired house and minimal house. the roles in the duo are clearly settled: olaf hilgenfeld – moog synthesizer, iftah gabbai – hardware drum machines, max/msp und ableton live.
all these distinct impacts and effects can be heard on their various releases from the last two years, but far better in their live sets. skinnerbox are an experience, taking you on expedition with paralyzing minimal, breaking house, hard-edged techno-jazz, and ambient electronica futurism.
it was a desire to eternalize this play- & colorful diversity, often just caused by the moment, as entire homogeneity. thus, they needed to leave temporarily their environmental techno and minimal house scapes. >king of spades and marmalades< – the result – is a jazz opus wrapped into a disco suitcase. it is a reminiscence as well as going far ahead of daily musical habits, shown not at least by the order of tracks, do not starting with a stunning hit of the album, but with 20 minutes of challenge.

bot ox is one of many side projects for french label owner and music tastemaker cosmo vitelli, in partnership with julien briffaz (better known as one half of tekel). their last single >crashed cadillac< was one of the highlights from i m a cliches moments of a crisis compilation from earlier this year. this latest effort is a real slow burner, with the misty voice of anna jean flowing over top of lo-fi melodies and blistering rhythms. weve also heard the flip side for the release – >bearded lady motorcycle show< – which is a more aggressive electro growler.

dj rekless releases another stunning bassline ep for the undisputed label.

dan curtin, now releasing records for 11 years, returns back to classic form with a 4 track ep of smooth, deep, calculated beats. dan takes us through a time warp with elements of jazz, funk, and r&b, with his own inimitable touch that puts his music in a unique category all its own. autonomic groove reminds of the better purveyors of fine funk material, while other songs such as bygone epigone and chained present new takes on dans familiar jazzy sound. another cool down low item!! tip!

mark grusane and mike cole are better known as the owners of mr peabodys records (store) in chicago. this track was taken from the primitive house trax cd they put out in small numbers. this early nineties track very much reminds us of the true chicago house sound… raw and sweaty! this will be available as a special limited edition.

wonderful 1970s p.c.p inspired 20 track. compilation featuring a highly charged mix of psych funk, prog, afro, glam, cosmic, rock and disco. some very rare pieces on here such as the cosmic reggae inspired 360 degrees, the groovy psych prog of the creative craniums and the raw prototype psych funk of kid rock (not that one). others will be better known to lovers of a more progressive dancefloor such as soundforce and diabolic man which has long been a big spin for dj harvey and lovefingers alike.

with the help of bodie lee and his nuboogie series project we managed to lay our hands on the master tapes of this early 80s disco hit by beggar & co. (and with hit we mean hit... like top 10 positions uk and us etc). we already got some raving reactions from people who use to love this big brit funk tune back in the days... and this might even sound better! nice remix challenge for greg wilson and elitechnique... both delivered the works! we could write a long story about the remixes and the remixers... but just choose your favorite. 2 sublime nu disco funk work outs!

nice price deal !!! the fourth rwina sees the light of yet another taz buckfaster 12inch thats going down in a true epic vein, one for the anthem horny jocks. so if you are into the grimy synth heavy side of things then better check this one out.

the first release by m_rec ltd is by the dutch man jeroen search. couldn t start any better to show the quality of sound of this label. 4 pure analog tracks that go from a hood style to mills but with a search personality. simply an artist!

once again, lump sticks to his guns and brings you strangely funky tunes to make this world a better place . it s too late. the world has gone sombre and our man walks the desolate streets. the femme fatale is there, right under the street lights. the gansgster are all around. bobby has been shot and all the junkies are surrounding the dealer in the back alley. this is no house as you know it. this is harcore funk. it s noir, it s dirty, it s dangerous and risqué. run. the cops are coming...

what better way to get aquatinted with this great artist,than by listening to this dance floor monster in disguise.nima gorji, a man of the world, son of a travelling musicianfrom teheran, is an exceptional musician on his own. hiselectronic meets organic productions reflect the versatilecultural influences he was exposed to as a kid and afterfleeing his homeland, moving throughout the europe untilfinally settling on the white isle. his premiere release onkanzyanis label is a unique mishmash of deep house andeastern ethnic sounds, which perfectly reflect theunderground vibe, dominating the ibiza in the summer oftwo-o-nine.

supported by timo maas, dave seaman, dubfire, hot chip, dj hell, piemont, chloe, dan curtin!! new design, new ideas, bukaddor & fishbeck took a break from producing while playing a lot of live gigs and are back now, better than ever.

absolutely massive dop rework! will and tam went back to their roots and dusted off the sampler for >teddy s back<. strings and vocal cuts bring the soul and their trusty 101 delivers the bass line. as with many of their previous tracks together all the percussion is recorded in live - >because it sounds better and is fun to do<. they set out to achieve something that was heavy, rolling and organic yet with memorable moments that doesnt disappear into a never ending ableton conga loop... the original is already a firm favorite with the wolf + lamb crew and gilbr from chateau flight has also been supporting it for many months from an early version. our parisian friends dop deliver the goods on a major level with their remix. a truly filthy yet undeniably infectious song penned after a recent gig at the infamous berghain is backed by a surefire rhythm track and arrangement that is designed to move bodies. in wills words >not one i ll be playing to my mum<. just how we like it!

professor genius from italians do it better fame (in real life jorge velez) and speculator also known as grackle, galaxy toobin, one half of smackulator or just william burnett... and they are now pg&s. pg&s has paired up to create some very personal tracks... there are three collaborations and 2 solo tracks of both. going somewhere between trippy kraut rock to more psychedelic disco. our favorite is the powerful introvert kraut disco work out called jive. limited release on the new label from greece!

nrk return with the 2nd in the lab series this time poker flat head honcho steve bug is the selector

after having it large with sweetzerlands mental groove, st. plomb has remained apparently calm for the past few years. but dont be mislead, st. plomb better known to friends and family as daddy wizard hasnt spent these years sunbathing and splashing in tanning lotion. instead hes been hiding in the studio, working on his tricks, refining his magic, distilling the purests and the rawests forms of house to achieve the alchemy of the perfect track the concoction has worked and brut! is proud to present the results: escape run and saturnic night access. serve pipping hot...

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

introducing the hells of love! two disco reprimands with an unhealthy penchant for slap bass, synths and drum machines. having both released singles under various guises, michele tessadri (fratelli riviera, bearfunk) and luca sapo saponaro (member of the love supreme project on tirk) decided two disco heads were better than one and headed to the studio to battle it out. the resulting cacophony of squelches and bleeps resulted in the third release on new fledgling jisco affiliated label under the shade.

the wait is over... !k7 is very proud to present the next instalment in the dj-kicks series and we couldnt think of a better pairing.
chromeo is canadians p-thugg & dave 1: best friends, virtuoso musicians, walking hip hop encyclopedias, and the only successful arab/jew partnership since ... well, ever.
after releasing 2 albums (she s in control and fancy footwork), hitting the dancefloors / attacking the charts with you re so gangsta and needy girl, remixing the likes of cut copy and lenny kravitz, feist and vampire weekend, and years of jet setting and globetrotting ... the time is right for them doing their take on dj kicks. a match made in...
teenage lovers, 20 something bloggers, 30 something burned out ex ravers and 40 something sistas can all finally party under one roof with this slick, sleek, smoothed out mix. a tribute to canada of sorts, as it includes so many maple leaf underground classics and obscurities. obviously there some unreleased versions (chateau marmont most notably) and of course the dj-kicks exclusive track, with chromeo fucking around with the eagles classic >i cant tell why< which comes in 2 versions and will get a separate 7 inch release also.

new ep from detroit techno and graphics legend alan oldham.
following up the more experimental >johnny gambit 01: the prodigal son< graphic novel/soundtrack (pure18lp), alan d. oldham a.k.a. dj t-1000 gets back to basics with the >blaster ep<, phase two of the pure sonik records restart.
>blaster< kicks off the proceedings. a dirty, tracky, and bitcrushed statement of intent, >blaster< is a 130 bpm love letter to all the hard techno fans in germany and spain who have kept the faith and supported dj t-1000s international dates all these years, and the definitive statement that pure sonik records is back!
on the b-side, oldham goes electro with >i rock shit everyday<, a dark, dirty, detroit electro-groove inspired by one of his all-time favorite detroit electro acts, ultradyne. the ep closer, the lo-fi >machines<, is the sound of your laptop, tv, and coffee maker conspiring against you in dial-up modem code. what happens when your microwave starts thinking it can cook better than you? you better watch out...

5th release on the subcult techno label and it just gets better & better! label boss aka carl teams up with peppelino for the excellent opening salvo. then bryant baker teams up with miche of miche & mirzinho fame to deliver another club techno bomb. flip over for spanish rising star luky rdu on a wicked tribal trip and finish with kazoo records josh love & matt 303 rounding things off perfectly.

andres is releasing an ep on kalk pets featuring three different versions of his track >ballad<. now if you re associating melancholy and a thousand tears with that title, you ll be taught better by the track itself. for this particular ballad is full of positive energies and sings anything but the blues.
uwe senor coconut schmidt aka atom polishes the >ballad<-track with additional beats and insightful words and turns it into a real disco-pop wingding: >this song is not about sex / it s about music / because music is better than pussy.< the minds are shaking. he has proved his sense for slant humour already before on his album >liedgut<.
another potential hit is the remix by john keys & los updates. >los updates< being jorge gonzales, who has contributed the vocals. having played in a popular band called >los prisoneros<, he is a celebrated popstar in south america, and, amongst other things, has been participating as a singer in the last album by >sieg über die sonne<. a finely lascivious party-mix. john keys aka dandy jack & andres garcia are responsible for the musical part. file under powerpop and emotronic.
playful sounds keeping the stroke of a ping-pong game and sure to keep your body high-spirited.

oh yes! the long awaited return of ibex aka tony ollivierra. we always loved his dj slym fas (intangible) and ibex (planet e) releases and now he is back to do his thing for rush hour!
this includes three joyful house tracks of which 350 comes in vocal and instrumental version. reminds us of his earlier planet e stuff. its also reminiscent of early recloose stuff. lets leave it at essential detroit house music. welcome back ibex!

reincarnations newest release is an ep from italian skillful dj and producer riccardo luchini better know ricky l. ricky is resident of the legendary house club red zone in perugia since 1990. simple & nasty is a massive deep track already tested on the dancefloor of the red zone, simple but very effective. yes week end is more old school house orientated, and lbs 5 a.m. a cosmic, dub, kickless tool. his tracks are released on prestigious and respected labels such as un restricted access, restricted tracks, ibadan, yoruba...

roxour is proud to present fresh music from r-04, a very talented mid 20 boy from downtown tokyo. for r 04 things started about 10 years ago when testing out his first syntheziser. from japanese fascination of composing and living game music soon he was fascinated by the magic of detroit techno. aside from that, he plays on the grand piano with that jazzy - and funkyness of an early stevie wonder. r-04s music is reflecting the city where he comes from. he says many tall inorganic buildings and night scene always inspire me. his first official release gazing at the moon is somewhere between jazz and techno. its a kind of tribute to the so called chu shu no meigetsu convention, the autumn time in japan, when no one can ignore the beauty of the big shiny full moon. also i composed this track meaning that we had better keep emotional leeway to enjoy the full moon no matter how busy we are. patrick alavis ace remix is turning the jazz and detroit techno rooted original into a deep roller.

cosmic metal mother strikes again, this time on argentos very own label, panacustica. here comes >twice,< a brilliant new 12inch inch with remixes from professor genius (italians do it better, u.s.a) and baby ford (ifac, u.k.). on the first cut, the mother explores deeper grooves in a more organic fashion, letting an ethereal, trippy, melodic piano line unfold on a solid, spaced-out disco groove. the remixes of this hypnotic monster are just as strong as the original. professor geniuss >ragazza mix< elaborates on the melody, delivering a layered synth stomper right to the floor, while baby fords remix deconstructs the track into pumping, minimal, machine funk, typical of his incredible trademark sound. panacusticas first 12 inch delivers pure soulful psychedelia.

2003 classic by husband and wife team guenther and regina janssen aka donna regina!!

two of turbo s rising stars come together to make one of the biggest records of the year. peanuts club has been arguably the hottest track of the summer for heavyweight djs erol alkan, tiga, and a-trak. it s instantly catchy and massively effective, and we ve seen it bring the best out of the crowd night after night, but you probably already know all about it. the real coup here is that cajou club is another absolute bomb, maybe even better than peanuts club, and more disturbing evidence that france has produced yet another two major-league players in dance music. noob s really been hitting his stride lately, following on terrific remixes for brodinski and d.i.m. and tai s lyposuct, his productions getting exponentially bigger with each release. as for brodi, anyone that s seen him play knows he has all the makings of a star, and if he can keep putting out records this good, the sky s the limit! wanting to go beyond double-megahit and attempt quad-bomb status, we commissioned a terrific remix from sound pellegrino s renaissance man. noob & brodi are in love with it, plus they re the only finns out there to have not produced a record for turbo, so it was a perfect fit. the ph 0 remix on the vinyl is, incredibly, an original take on acid, it s loopy and weird, but works like magic.

>who is the person you would most like to work with?< for claude vonstroke, its definitely bootsy collins - the biggest personality in parliament funkadelic and funniest character the funk world has ever seen. we couldn’t be any more excited to have bootsy on dirtybird and this crazy collaboration of styles is the lead single on claude vonstroke’s 2nd album, “bird brain.” if you haven’t heard of bootsy we couldn’t write it better than rolling stone… “bootsy collins’ rubber band was the most entertaining and longest-running spin-off of george clinton’s eternal p-funk circus, and that’s because bootsy is a true star, the clown prince of comic, psychedelic, good-times funk – if he weren’t such a genius of the bass, you’d think he was jimmie walker in a sequined costume, star-shaped mirrored shades included. his career is like a horatio alger story based in chocolate city: plucked from teenage obscurity in 1969 to play with james brown, the former william collins of cincinnati brought a slap-happy zest to jb’s sound, then hooked up with clinton and was reborn in his image, with a little help from lsd.” it is certain that claude vonstroke is not nearly as accomplished as bootsy collins, but he takes the same tongue-in-cheek approach to his music and that’s why this collaboration really works. both claude and bootsy believe you got to get up for the down stroke and there’s no way to fake the funk or your nose will grow, pinocchio!

s johnny k is the disguise of a well known producer that makes his (or is it her?) debut to ec, the long running label of michel de hey. >if< is a club stormer that is the most requested record out of michels dj-set in the past months. it comes with a remix from egbert, not a stranger at all to the close followers of ec records. >0.506127< is hidden on the a2, but is maybe even better. what an amazing ep!

northern songs in a southern style - fab guiro!
welcome to fab guiro! - the album title is a combination of both the popular british phrase fab gear referring to all cool music & lifestyle aspects and issues surrounding the band and also stresses the relation to the percussion instrument guiro that is an integral instrument, sound and necessity in latin, salsa and especially traditional cuban music. fab guiro! is beat music in a fascinating, exotic robe, a drum roll of liverpudlian song pearls the songs of the beatles on fab guiro! do actually sound like copacabana, cuba and kingston - but always like the english harbour town in the summer - northern song in a southern style are indeed warm songs, fab guiro! simply means lots of fun, entertainment and thus celebrates our heroes.
