christian smith hand in hand with reset robot, ranked amongst hottest dub out tech-house producer today. with big 200 and one & dj madskillz rmeix

for the second cassius records and to carry on with the youth speed, trouble, cigarettes adventure we give you four remixes done by talented producers across europe from milano italy… reset! we met the three kids from reset! in magazinni generale while playing, their set was powerfull but also full of respect and influences from hip hop, soul and dance music in general, we finished our sets back to back and since this day love them their trouble mix could have been done by the jbs if they were still twenty something and into house music… it rocks and never stopsno use to present the music from radio slave, the big difference with a majority of other producers is that we both can recognise his tracks in a few bars only, also in the way it streches to crazy length and takes you in a trance that could have come directly from lagos in 1973 matt embrace the same philosophy we all cherish at cassius records the no boundarys way hes more than minimal, more than electro more than techno he stripped down ystc to the max and his remix played at the good time on a good system is a true chicagoan infused gem then after chaos

detroit, 1993. the burden brothers, known for their octave one project and 430west record label, start a new sub label called direct beat. it was created to release the techno electro sounds of inner city detroit. in 1995 the label was in full effect and released music produced by friends such as tommy hamilton, keith tucker, mad mike banks, will web and them self.
now 15 years later we know that direct beat was one of the big influences on how electro and techno is today. together with underground resistance, axis, m-plant in detroit and some like minded people in europe and artists such as drexciya, aphex twin, autechre and dopplereffekt it changed the way people looked at techno... it broke away from the dominant 4/4 kick and brought back the funk and emotion that disappeared once house and techno became popular and mainstream music in the early 90s.
we are happy to bring back direct beat records by making some of its classics available for a new generation. this is a part of techno music history we may not forget about! especially in these days that people consume more and more of the format tracks. this shows that emotion, passion and energy creates much more then just a dj tool... it creates tracks that become part of peoples life! and not for just one or two months in your i-pod... but for the rest of your life in your record collection! timeless classic collection... must have!

a sick collection of secret armand van helden cut and paste 80s tracks. lots of nu wave stuff going on with big euro samples getting van heldens midas touch. twins of pleasure is the favourite cut, with its pulsing retro bassline line and banging drums. the hilarous ktu track is another goody that wrecks a freestyle sample with ny radio station ktu ids on it. with all the current interest in the 80s, this is a really fun take on the idea.

s.c.u.m. is back and with a plate that ll rock you right off your socks! none other then zero g has been selected to drop his long lost ransom tune that has been cained by almost all the bigshots and even was featured in ruskos essential mix! now this tune finally sees the light of day and ready to rock the dance floors on a global scale. dj nicon of rotterdams subway crew was big fan of this tune from the start and was surprised this never got a release. so naturally this got scooped for his personal scum imprint asap! and of course no release is finished without a suitable b side so flip it over for scorpion! a brand new club banger that delivers the dubstep sound ever so crispy! if your into the heavy side of dubstep then get on this!! play support: skream, benga, walsh, marlow, seven, 501, reso, matt-u etc.

the second m_recs release confirm the label concept: pure techno sound. in this release max m (m_recs owner) presents the title track >egg< with his repetitive groove characteristic. three big artists make the remixes. the first one by the english chris finke (flux recordings), the second one its too hard by the dutch techno master bas mooy (audio assault) and the third rmx is by the dutch intelligent techno artist charlton ravenberg (labyrinth, audio assault). if this is just the second release, i cant imagine the future of this label. its a concentrate of the best techno for all the techno crowd. big!

the man behind golden bug was partly educated by victor, a japanese robot from osaka. victor was invented by komba, an old japanese man who wanted a child. he created victor. when the old man died he sent victor around the world telling him to find a new home. after a big odyssey victor finally arrived at legendary la maison du robot in paris. the shop was owned by antoines mother who was the first one to import japanese toys to europe in the 70ies.so victor came to antoines family and decided to stay for a while. and as antoines mother was very busy with the other toys - victor practically was the one to teach antoine how to eat, how to speak and how to dance...

handsette recordings return with yet another essential release! having blown up in the clubs and been begged and begged to be released, we now feel its time to unleash the beast that is posthumans lander on the world. lander is a real monster of a track. stuttering rave stabs meet fresh, driving beats and a wall of bass. one of those tracks that make people go, wtf is this? in a club! currently being caned by major djs across the country and getting radio 1 and solid steel show play, this is a big, big track. on the flip, cursor miner takes the track and flips it left, right and upside down! dropping the tempo and changing the emphasis from a stabby rave monster to a bass driven crunky wobbler, it is a fresh take whilst losing none of the energy of the original.

kardinal & keewix returns with 2 big electro tracks on goog records. enjoy!

you may not have heard so much from andre (aka &me) so far. instead of the flash and glitter associated with most of his producer colleagues, hes preferred to stay in the shadows, co-producing and ghost writing for artists like dj hell and terranova. now after putting out his first solo single on keinemusik, which was supported by all the key players (front room label boss jesse rose, luke solomon, gabriel ananda, danny tenaglia and dubfire plus many more) &me is finally ready to go public as they say. he may have taken some time to figure out his own style of blending techno and house music but now hes out theres really no escape. with a name like an attention deficit childs mantra its a wonder he stayed in so long. the on ep is an excursion into the type of techno dusted pulsating minimal house that has been so big for artists like luciano esse and arnaud le texier and which is heard on heavy rotation in berlin meccas like bar25. with a side on ever present digital squelches (reminiscent of a rolf harrris style wobble board) are laid over shakers, stripped-back beat and the familiar on vocal. its not hard to understand why tiefschwarz have been rinsing it for quite some time now as a huge afterhours groover. b side talking days, swimming in lush deep techno elements, weaves through more melodic territory but is no less infectious

brendon moeller is back on mule! after the successful ep faith on mule musiq (steve bug licensed to his mix cd on fabric), he returned with three deep stuff. title track juice is dubby and spacy deep house.this track is already big favorite of steve bug. gonubie is a spacy afro tech-house which reflected his african roots. disco devil is a new style of brendon.it reminds early stuff of theo parrish.

may we say that you are looking great today! please, have a promo on us, we insist... so, our latest instalment features possibly our biggest release yet. some of you may well be familiar with >sanasol - tambourine man<, seeing as its been quite a tune with some of you already this year, but for those who dont, you really are in for a house based treat. initially released in 1997, tambourine man was a sleeper hit of its day. picked up by some discerning dj types again in recent times, the track has seen heavy rotation in some major clubs already…

big with rustie, major lazer, boys noize, m.a.n.d.y.,apparat, si begg, monolake, coldcut,.. facing crisis and tormented by the sorrows of monetary depletion there was only one solution for the house of modeselektor. all capital must go! and fast! property funds crashing like windows 2000, investing in gold too 80s and the rights to jackos portfolio too expensive. only one answer remained: art. versed on the international art trade floor it was easy for the modeselektor boys to win over two sought-after art dealers, to seal the deal and to go on a shopping spree. art & cash is the shocking behind the scenes documentary of that german art campaign. in the process a scandal was revealed that is shaking experts to this day. for years and under the watchful eyes of millions did the fantastic nobodies - exceptionally gifted art counterfeiters and weirdos from brooklyn - manage to sell themselves as renowned works of art, thus creating inexplicable damage—

big with: ben klock, brendon moeller, alan fitzpatrick, pär grindvik, chris liebing, anja schneider, orde meikle, deetron, a. mochi, adam beyer, samuel l session, joris voorn,.. the respected italian producer roberto bosco pushes the blurry boundaries of club techno with this edgy, agile and highly functional 4-tracker on figure spc. letting the games begin straight away with one, a bass-loaded pumping groove leads the action as we step into a cavernous hall resonating with classic techno hypnotism. careful arrangement tweaks, jacking, sharp percussion and knee-trembling sub-frequencies are all present in this well-defined peak time treat for the floor. the twisting, freaking opening bars of circle dub quickly evolve into a strange but beautiful beast, utilising boscos trademark solid drum array, but also a drifting, dubbed out scattering of synth lines, taking the focus from our heads to our hearts. super-pumped and primed for warehous sessions everywhere, the title of the b1 track club sums it up perfectly

just like the excellent joshua series this is jay-js take on rnb meets house edit: choppy, dubbed out intro that leads into a killer vocal duet by rising rnb act koffee brown. b-side features a rousing gospel house track with heartfelt vocals and big chorus.

brother sport, released on november 9th, is the third single taken from animal collectives universally acclaimed album, merriweather post pavilion. euphoric, mesmeric and delirious are words that have often been used to describe animal collectives astonishing ninth offering? and brother sport is the track that fits that description the best. with its infectious repetition of open up your, open up your throat, its the most spine tingling album closer of the year, from one of the greatest albums of 2009. brother sport, will be available on 10inch (rug333t) and will be backed with a live version of a brand new track bleeding (live) recorded recently at big sur in california.

finally a full ep by d marc cantu (1/2 of 2am/fm and under other aliases involved in collabos with traxx). technically its the follow up to his cult hit no control (creme jak 02, today a highly sought after 12inch) and in good h-h-h-house fashion this ep contains a ball busting jtc remix of this anthem. but the centre piece must be the title track one of the most emo-simplo jak trax weve ever heard here at the office. starting out simple enough with a single finger synth line (like the musings of a retarded secretary), it mutates into a big wailing distorted saxophone (or a mating whale, who knows?), this puppy will fill your room and throw everybody into an instant k-hole. hey, if that dont sound appealing check the soundclips for proof, its pure liberation... nay rebirth! more floor destroying crazyness on the flipside, but were all out of steam describing it. jak jak jak

big classic from 1977

john tejada was marooned in los angeles in the summer of 82. a strange place to grow up coming from vienna austria. even stranger considering the lack of techno there in the 90s. in a land of glowsticks and desert parties, tejada stuck to his love and development of his own unique electronic sound. fast forward to 2007 when detroit area native josh humphrey was also marooned in los angeles. it didnt take long for the two to meet and connect the cables on their modulars into a system twice as big. the result is marooned, palettes newest collaboration between john tejada and josh humphrey. the trio of songs reveal three sides to the duos work. the title track, marooned, joins humphreys modular synth work with tejadas beats and soothing pads, the result being a slice of beat-driven melodic techno created in a city where such sounds are rarely heard. melodiac continues from there with a lighter mood, with humphreys modular melodies and tejadas signature stabs and rhythms. rounding out the three is concrete safari, which largely focuses on humphreys modular fm synth work that slowly evolves into a cluster of tribal sounds, modular birds and grainy goodness. humphreys knowledge of synths and programming is quite extensive. he currently works with la based big city music, a dealer of modular and boutique synthesizers. it is also a place tejada frequents to test most of his gear

one more time o.ton kick it loud with this second ep !! keep it easy! weve asked to robber and bandit to make us dance. those two young belgian dj and producer make it heavy and ravey !!! with various influences they give the tone : trancey bassline, heavy break and loud minimal techno producing stuff. a side is an amazing short track called rusian panther : mixing ravey melody big infrasound techno beats and breaked rhythms .the second one battleship mendoza is « the » real peaktime bombing track, just listen ! on the aa side : chilling session on the dancefloor but with a perfect gimmick that one keep us alive

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.
