two years ago i played at studio 9 in vilnius, lithuania. the following day i missed my flight home and ended up spending an extra day, which gave me a chance to explore the city with my friend linus, who took me to the contemporary art centre. it was there i spotted a book named ÔrojusÕ, that linus told me translated as ÔparadiseÕ. the word and striking cover of the book stuck in my mind. a few days after returning home, i turned on to a national geographic documentary named Ôdesigned to danceÕ, explaining the courtship rituals of birds of paradise. as i watched, i jokingly began drawing similarities between these birdsÕ attempts to captivate and impress the opposite sex with dance, and the way strangers try to attract one another in clubs and interact on the dance floor. this gave me the idea of creating a record of functional club music, sequenced as if it were a club night, from doors to closing, using samples of these birds of paradise and their habitat. thus, rojus. leon vynehall 2016

chilled house session- geht in die n�chste runde. der siebte teil �berzeugt erneut durch ein starkes tracklisting in sachen house mit pop-appeal! mit von der partie sind tracks und remixe von den uk-hitlieferanten ellie goulding, sigala, disclosure oder kda, poppige house-tracks von lost frequencies und robin schulz sowie club hits und remixe von solomun, john talabot, tensnake, joris voorn oder recondite. 40 hits, die uns den fr�hling und sommer vers�§en werden!

als in den sp�ten 80er jahren die ersten outdoor-trance-partys im indischen bundesstaat goa stattfanden, h�tte niemand gedacht, dass sich dieser trend so lange halten bzw. weiterentwickeln w�rde. kaum eine andere dance-szene in europa hat ein gr�§eres zusammengeh�rigkeitsgef�hl als die goa-szene. hier wird musik und alles, was damit zusammenh�ngt, noch gelebt. zu keinem genre gibt es eine ausgepr�gtere und besser entwickelte -underground--partyszene, in zahlreichen foren und communities stehen die fans in regem kontakt. st�ndig finden kleinere veranstaltungen statt, und im sommer sind die gro§en festivals und partys wie waldfrieden wonderland, vuuv festival, alice im wummerland oder psy-purgisnacht immer ausverkauft.

p�nktlich zum start in die balearen-saison! -tropical house- bietet auf zwei cds 30 tropical house-anthems. mit an bord sind u.a. tracks und remixe von alex adair, robin schulz, avicii, bakermat, the avener, mobin master feat. robin s, joris voorn, alle farben, lana del rey, lykke li, jessie ware, nore en pure, klingande, u.v.a.! auch 2015 wird hed kandi wieder mit eigenen events auf ibiza vertreten sein!

exzellente retrospektive des kleinen, aber feinen tirk-labels mit 13 perlen seiner historie, darunter tracks und remixes von sugardaddy (aka tom findlay/groove armada), chaz jankel (blockhead-veteran mit seiner hymne im tollen todd terje-remix), space (den franz�sischen space-disco-heroen der 1970 er), the time and space machine (aka richard norris), greg wilson, richard sen, u.v.a. mit ausf�hrlichen linernotes von rob wood (ex-jockey slut).

zusammen mit anderen vergleichbaren dj mix-serien wie der des londoner fabric-labels und -dj kicks- auf k7!, geh�rt das format der body language-compilations zu den letzten auf dem markt verbliebenen seiner art. junior boys, modeselektor, dixon, matthew dear, azari & iii, catz n dogz, dj hell, jesse rose und viele andere k�nstler trugen in den letzten neun jahren zum renomm� der auf get physical erscheinenden erfolgsserie bei. die von dj t. schon in vielen seiner fr�heren werke angewendeten mixtechnischen tugenden stehen auch hier wieder im vordergrund. dj t. gibt sich nicht mit der verg�nglichen momentaufnahme einer in sich abgeschotteten stilrichtung zufrieden. zeitlos, sich nicht bei formeln aktueller clubmusik anbiedernd und trotzdem voll im hier und jetzt verhaftet, pr�sentiert sich dieser aus 20 tracks bestehende 78-min�tige mix.

cocoon ibiza turns fifteen! finally, its summer and we cant wait to pack our bikinis and flip-flops again for our annual trip to the island

when messiaen set out to transcribe birds songs as models for his compositions, he couldn t have predicted that by now wild birds would have started to learn mobile phone ringtone patterns. for a system of objects, raudive aka oliver ho maps an obliquely constructed world in which you lose all certainty of what is nature and what is design. raudive celebrates dance and auditory scenes as rituals, employing our surroundings as sources of ahistorical found sound - primitive technologies used to reach magickal states. a drum machine and a wooden stick, a sawtooth-shaped electric current and a split rock all turn into empirical objects of the same class, without a definite past or a predictable impact.

unterwegs geschrieben, dr�cken die songs all das adrenalin, die aggression und die wut aus, die der mann die welt bereisend f�hlte, ein wahres spektrum an kreativit�t. downtempo-strings, herzzerreissender soul, reanimierter hip hop und geisterhafte vokalformen durchziehen, zu einer bunten decke zusammengeflickt, jeden einzelnen song. eine einsame reise in die innerste gedankenwelt der dunkelsten stunden des sufi, aufgenommen im homestudio im kreise seiner famile, als kontrast zur umgebenden mojave-w�ste.

the club watergate in berlin is one of the worlds most celebrated institutions for electronic music. led-ceiling, river view and high class-bookings anchored the club deeply into an international scene. to avoid remembering our ten year anniversary only fragmentarily due to the big festivities, our label-department took care of the physical manifestation from that decade. and this is how it goes: respected artists who have become friends over the last years produced 29 exclusive tracks for us. we offer these tracks as an unmixed double-cd with music from maceo plex, dop, soul clap, tiefschwarz, mathias kaden, our watergate-residents and many more.

kill for love, chromatics first album since night drive, finally gives this loosely associated, prematurely decayed musical aesthetic its magnum opus and brilliantly transcends it.

the debut album of these two young lads with baseball hats not only honours and delves into a sound that already peaked some fifteen years ago, it also hones and elevates it, without ever falling into the reynoldsmania trap (please see retromania for further reference) or being old gold retold. and this is all oh-so-clear from the very start: the fine flutes of >when its there< go straight to your heart and they do so without any self-mockery or hipster smiles as much as the gasping 303-sounds, chirping birds and healing dx-like bass sounds a few tracks later do. >salty days< - an allusion not to grim times, but to a certain members adoration for the crystalline mineral - is blessed with a coherence that isnt samey, with tradition that isnt leaden and a feeling that is pure.

electronic, danceable pop meets industrial, dark techno. its the first time you can hear the folkpopsongs of piroth in these free interpretations. piroth remixed is a collaboration between the swedishlabel kranglan broadcast and oma gusti records. the release consists of 6 remixes of songs by the swedish folk-pop duo piroth. the remixes are made by some of the finest electronic producers such as popnoname (kompakt/firm/italic), disrelatedkin (ministry of sound/kitsun�), harald bj�rk (kranglan broadcast), studio barnhus (petter nordkvist, axel boman, korn�l kov�cs studiobarnhus/border community/pampa records/ourvision recordings), clara moto (infin�) and nathan fake (border community). the release is scheduled to the 26th of january 2011. the mastering is done by stefan echinger aka lopazz.

for the fourth year running cocoon recordings gives a forecast on the upcoming ibiza season with the latest in its summer mix series. after having such renowned djs as dubfire, loco dice, andre galluzzi and chris tietjen, the cocoon team were able to play another well-known dj ace from their sleeve: marco carola.

>we are proud of our choices< is a delightful listen in every sensibility and truly brings his artistic talent as a dj and producer together in a very personal mix. we certainly hope you enjoy this landmark addition to our series as much as we do and leave you with ewan pearsons own words about his mix

mid price action !! john dahlb�ck macht als hug sein erstes album und f�gt seiner discographie, die schon jetzt an das stockholmer telefonbuch erinnert, einen weiteren eintrag hinzu. dank maximaler originalit�t klingt der 21-j�hrige nie langweilig sondern eher wie quell steter inspiration

>immolate yourself< vereint zehn tracks die dem begriff >electro pop< eine neue & zeitgem�sse definition f�r 2009 verpassen. obwohl jeder song eine eigene geschichte erz�hlt ist das album mehr als die summe der teile. grossartig !
