steady rocking it with music to make you smile, that is a suitable description of wunderbars next new guest, oliver schories. with a string of big releases on labels including parquet, ostwind and musik gewinnt freunde, he is stopping by to >catch a breath<. the original will unfreeze your minds and hearts with his sun-warmed and soulful trademark. the ep is filled with a solid remix pack of surprises, started with a folklorish bonfire-romantic from zusammenklang by switching the theme in ambient. finally we are equally excited to welcome eadward to our label family with a housey retouch of the title track, which will likely be heard in clubs. the wunderbar imprint thinks outside the box when it comes to dealing out the house goods.

b1: ltj - the bull: heavy hitter, big bass with equally heavy drums. a huge track as always from ltj, vocal is typical of his superb style. all round big track!

a little quiet so far this year but now one of the new power generation drum & bass production crews are back with an absolutely sick two part ep that is anything but quiet. michael willer and robert stefan aka body & soul have been busy, very busy creating what is undoubtedly their most explosive release to date on their own nasca records. get ready for a great big bag of awesome!
part 1 lets rip with the title track >shipwrecked<, with an ominous intro it sets the scene perfectly for whats to come with an outrageously horrid bass that snarls and pulls at its lead, snapping at anything that comes close. you d better start running though because when that lead breaks its gonna get you! add a nasty vox and the package is complete. demolition drum and bass that’s ready to take out the whole club!

at the moment kid culture is without doubt one of the most exciting prospects to emerge from amsterdams fertile dance scene. he is the main dutch producer for the famous suara label led by dj coyu, kid has created the chance to shine on big labels like gruuv, yoshitoshi, sincopat, catwash and now bitten, the fresh new label runned by 2000 and one and sandy huner. this release features three funky tech-house tracks that deliver on any the dancefloor!

so it was a massive pleasure that maya chose 2020vision for her next full single release. when we discussed the project with her we agreed it was vital to put together a single that truly reflected her diverse tastes and skills. the title track >focus now< is a unique work that will be hard to even categorise. reminiscent of early matthew jonson records >focus now< features delicate synth sequences weaving in and out of intricate rhythms. it sounds amazing on big systems, like at fabric, where it was road tested by ralph lawson at the recent 2020vision party. it is one to drop at the right time to make a real change in mood and set direction. we then have >little one< which is a solid deep house groove, simple but effective. vocal snippets are added by mjc herself on both tracks but her true vocal talents are shown on >senseless<...

2 big remixes by brendon moeller and fenin for lars & gunnar hemmerling.

throne of blood present ford inc, mission 1 ... a-side >satire< recalls the deepest moments of classic transmat artists like mayday, pairing uplifting pianos with emotive synths and a propulsive vision of techno-futurism. on the flip, >delirium< lives up to its name, pairing a dissociative bassline with jazzy vamps and organic drums. eschewing the obvious big room crowdpleasing maneuvers in favor of emotional and melodic complexity, the latest on throne of blood marks the arrival of something special in dance music. keep an ear to the ground for more from ford inc later this year.

the horses come back to jazzmin with a more disco take on house music. >acid village< is a midtempo burner that combines acid, big arpeggio bassline and moody strings with a vocal that will probably encourage you to hold your hands in the air. b-side is a remix from modern disco/funk band los charlys orchestra, by adding vocals, synths and electronic percussions to the original the horses take it to another level of floor-filling. this ep announces their forthcoming album on jazzmin, release in september!

for release no.4 sudden drop enlisted the talents of russian based recording artist & dj tripmastaz, who has been producing for the likes of morris audio and most noticeably dj sneaks magnetic recordings imprint since 2004. with each release his sound seems to get more defined and mature and our attention which seriously pricked when we first heard his tracks being played on jus-eds radio show. we quickly got in touch and asked for some tracks. first up is >utilized stock sounds<, originally produced in 2003 this melancholic slab of deep techno deservedly finally sees the light of day with a grimy lo-fi feel and enough dance floor nous to work the floor admirably. flip side track >botinko dub< injects a big, cavernous bass line and razor sharp hats n snares.

when we heard pompeya for the first time and were told they were from moscow, we were like: - what!? are you kidding? this is probably the first russian band singing in english with such a classy brit touch and male vocal being very strong and sophisticated at the same time. they jestingly describe their style as >melodramatic popular song< and >cheenese< is indeed a very dramatic piece with simple yet powerful composition and lyrics that really make big sense. the original is very well supported by a bunch of remixes each of which is unique on its own. an-2 & samos come with a warm, relaxed and funky instrumental version which is followed by a blockbuster mix from moscow disquo maestro leonid lipelis (an entirely perfect dance version of the original that could ever exist) and finally, for those few sirs and mesdames who are not yet aesthetically satisfied and who still find themselves seated while others jump and shout, here come d-pulse with their paranoid mix that gathers the thunderclouds to the full darkness and - at the end - lets the revival sunbeams break through.

spirit delivers his homage to the legendary amen break, >brother from another planet< as moody mystical pads and twisted distorted subs give way to a pounding bass hook. fellow horseman and renegade hardware stalwart, friske makes his inneractive debut with a classic dark and heavy thumper in >the storm<, loaded with growling subs, echoing stabs and furious beats. big support from bailey, total science, raiden, storm and many more.

lost has come a long way since he took the first steps on his journey into music. as a 12-year old, lost found big apple records in croydon and embarked upon becoming a dj. now a fully-fledged member of h.e.n.c.h, this prodigy has been responsible for some of the most sub shaking releases to have been let forth from the bristol labels catalogue to date.

grime has been clawing its way back to the centre of underground uk music in a big way recently, riding a new wave of credibility in futurist iterations from terror danjah, hyperdub, and butterz. but with the rising profile of figures like slackk and the eski-aping sound of becoming real and sometimes jam city, theres been a pseudo-lionization and a growing mythology surrounding classic grime. honestly, its been a long time coming, the music is legendary for a reason. terror danjahs new(ish) hardrive label takes a bold step in 2011 with a sharp look back-ward, and in typically cyclical fashion it feels perfectly now. dating all the way back to 2004, p jams >anger management< is a minimal monster of a tune, slamming with the same slurred and blurred percussive elements of wileys essential >ice rink<.

frijsfo beats are proud to announce the latest single from uk bass badman, sully, entitled >toffee apple<. picking up where his 2010 keysound single >in some pattern< left off, it sees the versatile pirate vibes-imbibed producer take purple synths and twist them into dizzying contortions. a rude drop roots the track firmly in uk soundsystem culture while a tough steppers beat drives it forward. sully is one of the most treasured yet under-celebrated producers in the uk today. finding a space between 2steps swing, dubsteps edge and breaksteps drums, his versatile productions perfected styles and vibes four or five years before the future garage movement had begun to investigate them. as the rest of the bass family are now embracing house, 2step, uk funky, purple synths and juke, sully looks to have a big 2011 ahead of him. >toffee apple< is the perfect sweetener. limited edition single-sided 10 inch release with etching on flip.

the two dutch artists warren fellow and michel steinbach team up again to show what good dance music is. but this time they give their debut on mannheim based label circle music. again they created a unique eclectic mix like they did on their successful cosmic ep in 2009 or together with legendary todd terry with >got a soul< in 2010 where they proved that they are very able to handle house music. on the a side we have some straight beats with classic percussions at the beginning. but very soon fellow and steinbach come around with some synthesizer hook which melody is quoting the nineties. the vocals only brings it down to a round figure.
