our jazzy multi instrumentalist, dewalta a.k.a. david koch, returns to vakant with another popping fresh release, as earnestly house as house can get. since his first vakant release in 2008 (va021 salgaro/farina) davids music has taken him around the world in black largely covering our earths northern and southern hemispheres. side a is graced by move yo sitting as close to late 1990s baby ford as one can get without a time machine and personal guide to londons underground. david somehow owns this genre while still making it distinctly his. b1 night shade keeps the housey goose bumps going with a drier and more direct approach. cheeky bleeps and chunky bass balance dark spacey vocals to land the track somewhere between night and day. >angels trumpet< at the b2 position closes this stellar ep out with a track that again borrows from the genre, but continues way beyond its standards with melodic elements that push and pull you in multiple directions resulting in no less than dance floor catharsis.

lets have fun! - thats the mantra of big zis and the crew of nation music. the swiss black music label has been broadening its musical spectrum over the past years. just like the artist big zis, whose music could most likely be labeled electro pop alternative punk rap, they dont care about common conventions.while rap becomes more and more pimped out, house loopier and minimal narrow-minded, big zis hooks up with a top-class troupe to get it her own way.for her most recent album und jetz … (and now …) she worked with marton di katz and valentino tomasi (both members of kalabreses famous rumpelorchester), who laid the musical foundations for most of the songs. for the impulsive electro on the track suure räge (acid rain) however, big zis collaborated with the techno producer michal ho (tuningspork) at the studio. suure räge got remixed by several well-known producers: robag wruhme (freude am tanzen) and canson (gs zürich) are to be found on volume 1 and the soul brothers lexx (aka kawabata / drumpoet) and kalabrese (stattmusik) successfully combat boredom on volume 2. the sound scapes of the remixes couldnt be any more diverse and cover a broad variety of styles. and be sure: volume 3 - work in progress - will delight you as well!

get ready! bulgarian youngster mitaka will lead you through a landscape of pushing minimal techno with maximum danceability. a, mitaka_fear , it is part of the nature of mankind to be afraid, especially when something unexpected is about to arrive. strict structures, harsh basslines yet a still gentle groove make this track so special. a variation of flavoures you might have tasted before. sweet and sour, like a piece of juicy lime, it fills you with desire and dense but enjoyable fear. b, mitaka_look back , imagine the climax of an ancient black and white horror movie. if that feeling could turn into a techno track, it would be look back : full of tension, full of beauty, full of excitement and totally intense.

legendary underground house producer teams up with ruoho ruotsi for classic deep house with left field techno! 40 year old spoken word by dr. ed robinson titled black rhapsody.

cool elegancy and machines meet live elements, soul and warm loops. subtle deep piecees of house music! hard to believe what jena has to offer: after splashy shooting stars like the wighnomys and their freude am tanzen family, a new act from this small metropolis for artists is coming up on vinyl now. while the team around klinke auf cinch is releasing its upbeat on playtracks the debut track shows the variety and creativity being in the deeply touching musicians heads. invited to the vocal corner was among others the soul voice of ian simmonds, who has already scratched his monument into black gold on musik krause. klinke auf cinch perform in stereopanorama with tenderly sent melody pearls and create marble paths with groove fragments. a live playing trumpeter, the voices of ian simmonds and paula as well as the gifted rhythm and harmony section around clemens kynast and lutz hartmann are the counterconcept to brute force. jack to cinch makes live electronica a valuable and touching concert event, the musicians virtuosity meets the cool elegance of the machines. loop means soul, beat means heart beat.

a very special vinyl only release!!! for obvious reasons this is a black label style vinyl only release here on mountain people. 009.1 has been around for a while and has been supported by the drumpoet community guys, above all by lexx/kawabata, who has pushed to make this a proper release. the mixdown pressed here is actually a very early raw recording which he kept (we didnt). so thanks lexx, we owe you one.

slamming peak time techno tracks, no more words necessary !!

jesper dahlback is one of swedens leading djs/ producers with a lengthy back catalogue to his name, including co-production on two tiga albums, the hugg and pepp project with cousin john dahlback, and remixes for the likes of rex the dog, zoo brazil, arnaud rebotini of black strobe, thomas p heckman, robyn, the knife, and depeche mode. jesper has music in his genes, but it was the musical movements in detroit, berlin and london that inspired him to start producing techno, back in 1991 in his bedroom studio. completely hooked, by 1993 he d formed the stockholm-based globe studios together with peter benisch and adam beyer (following a chance meeting on the train to love parade?) and has worked there ever since. in 1996 jesper started the imprint, blank, mainly for his own material, and simultaneously launched joint venture dk with thomas krome - one of the first labels in sweden with a techno house crossover approach! in addition to making music for various techno labels around the world and working with planet rhythm, jesper met up with swiss-born stephan grieder who had just started the svek label. the duo started to experiment with different sounds, drawing on house musics roots, utilising vocals and acoustic instruments. jesper now describes his sound as >ranging between the analogue sounds of the roland sh101 and the precision mathematics of my computer. i m a researcher and developer of unheard sounds! since the founding of globe studios, i have always been looking for new ways to bend the rules and test the unknown. when i dj, i just play my own productions blending old classics with new unreleased demos.< a producer first and foremost, jespers dj dates find him weaving a soundscape of his productions, remixes and collaborations with new material at every gig, as well as musical elements and sounds worked through the set. one of his favourite current ventures is his part in jori hulkkonens acid symphony orchestra.

phil kieran has been in the upper echelons of the electronic music game for more than a decade, but is only now releasing his debut album under his own name. known for rocking clubs and releasing a string of killer twelves, belfast-based phil has hooked up with german powerhouse cocoon in recent times. sven väths label is now about to release shh, a groundbreaking piece of work that will undoubtedly gain phil plaudits across the board. shh seems to not only reference every sound phil has ever loved in music, but is formulated in a completely fresh and futuristic way. listen carefully and you can detect elements of dub reggae, old hardcore like lfo, hip-hop, early 90s electronica such as autechre/black dog and other warp staples, as well as the futuristic techno that phil excels in. for the album phil went back to old sound lab recordings dating back to the 1950s and 60s. utilising some of these sounds in the initial construction, he built up tracks using a combination of old samples sourced from original and weird places and some live new instrumentation as well. there are live drums, some electric / acoustic/ bass guitar and live keyboard playing as well as some choice guest vocalists.

alex ridha aka boys noize is, along peers erol alkan and justice, part of a new mongrel breed of techno / electronica artist with a maverick bent and solid vision, beaming a myriad of influences from the past through a prism to create something fresh, new and exciting. founding his own imprint boysnoize records (bnr) in 2005 he achieved to establish his very own sound. alex released the first boys noize album “oi oi oi” in 2007 on bnr which featured febrile club favourites like “& down and “lava lava” and also more soulful techno tracks like “shine shine” or what many regard as one of his finest works, his remix of feist’s “my moon, my man”. official remixes for the likes of depeche mode, snoop dogg, justice, late of the pier, his latest work for royksopp, highly regarded dj mix compilations (bugged out! / i love techno) as well as productions for black eyed peas and canadian genius gonzales proved how versatile he could be. now boys noize presents his second longplayer as a lim.ed on vinyl instead of following the commercial path after the unexpected success of “oi oi oi”, boys noize passed on any big name featuring, the great pop approach or feeding trends. keeping it real, “power” starts where “oi oi oi” has ended and shows the freshest of electronica and techno music.

nice price deal !!! played by the glitz, someone else, oliver klein, jenn, franco bianco, andy kohlmann, black vel, dj misk, dj wakko, half stereo, homebase, mandy jordan, markus kavka, paul hazendonk!
in his first 12 inch, emanuele porcinai offers 2 tracks that consists in pleasurable and sexy vocals within simple but smart grooves. a very important thing for him when making a track is to record an effective vocal, so these are ever an important part of the creation. le french brasserie remix of >helen< is an interpretation more powerful and housy, where the two eccentric producers can show their passion for vintage synths. tested on the dancefloor with a fantastic reaction of the public!

played by anja schneider !!! the first catalogue number from the house of formatik comes from format:b the a-side (hotrod) is a pushing, wooden battering monster in the typical format:b manner the hugo remix gallops through the house arena like a thoroughbred stallion. extremely wonky breaks paired with a post modern house beat makes it the perfect alternative. redux on the b-side is a heavyweight techno layout. sirens, massive baselines and a dark atmosphere that sometimes, but only sometimes, reminds you of old black and white horror films make this track the perfect addition to this first ep.

quality double 12inch 4 tracker!!

loco dice support! its been a while since itamar sagis last release on be as one, when black gold and its remixes got into the most various record boxes around and became one of last year anthems. now, after a row of releases on soma, ovum and klapklap which consolidated his ever growing profile, itamar is back on his home imprint, with a real summer treat. in perfect sagis style, the a side >selio< is an uplifting and punching slab of techno, with a real fat beat and itamars distinctive trademark chord sound. once again another track to be one of the anthems of 2009. b side >series 1< is instead a paced down and trippy number. very atmospherical in the mood but with a bouncy groove, still carries the artist quality imprint. perfect for the summer ending.

limited edition lp!
ironic? no, it’s dead serious: sally shapiro keeps on dreaming of barbie and ken. sometimes good things come to those who wait, as is the case with sally shapiro. one shouldn’t really imagine the bashful swede from göteborg, who never performs live, setting a new trend for turning down lucrative offers. and the thought that she is working on something hip, is most likely even a little eerie for her. after all, she s just into something, which she’s been doing since her childhood in the 1980s — singing songs in the style of her idol sandra (”maria magdalena“). if she hadn’t met her companion johan agebjörn, who despite his musical socialization with techno in the 1990s has been deep into italo disco for the past few years and is a collector of zyx records, sally’s passion for synthi songs and fairy-like female vocals would have remained private. however, johan was screwing together some italo-style songs when he asked sally (whose voice he’d only heard from a previous christmas party karaoke) if she would improvise on his soft keyboard tunes, their collaboration was a done deal.
subsequent to their first releases on the labels diskokaine and permanent vacation, sally shapiro suddenly found herself in the midst of the ultra-hip neo/italo-disco movement, which is especially big in scandinavia. why of all things on the northern peninsula, where one traditionally listens to black metal and indie rock played with legs spread apart, the peculiar, yet sunny disco music became such an export hit, stays one of the mysteries of the pop business. it’s a fact, though, that next to internationally celebrated norwegian neodisco-heroes lindström, prins thomas and todd terje, the lovely sally has become the scandinavian disco-act in the mean time.

the third 12 inch in this essential edit series sees greg wilson reference his past as a disco dj in the late 70s and, subsequently, electro-funk pioneer of the early 80s. going way back to his golden guinea days, ruff wrap revitalizes a hidden gem from 1977 by lady love. this version of casey & finchs infectious miami groover, wrap your arms around me, was a record that, although never issued in the uk, was a particular club favourite on merseyside - its local popularity very much down to one of wilsons influences, terry lennaine, who championed the track on his weekly specialist soul show, keep on truckin. moving on 6 years to 1983, ruff rapp re-arranges the seminal west coast rap cut bad times (i cant stand it) by captain rapp, which was a monster tune on the black scene during the electro-funk era, having initially featured at wilsons club nights back then, legend and the hacienda in manchester, plus wigan pier. focusing on the social problems of the time, the subject matter of the lyric certainly translates to the current credit crunch climate. the crew behind >bad times< included jam & lewis and rich cason, whilst kimberly balls excellent vocal sets the whole thing off
