10 years ago toronto’s matt thibideau (aka altitude/coordinates) contributed one of the finest tracks in cynosure history. today matt returns with three brand new cuts and a re-mastered version of the cyn001 classic track entitled “archenar”. asphalt starts things off with a cutting edge syncopated groove that precisely reflects the cynosure sound over the years. a minimal, swingin, synth stab work out giving you the right amount of funk. archenar smooths things out with some lush pads and a dreamy reverb on the drums creating a subtle washed effect, perfect for the early morning blur. but let’s not forget to mention the killer ms-20 sub bass line.. ahhh so deep. icebox comes next with some icy precision fm syncopation in the mix. accompanied by matt’s signature classic synth percussion grooves. full of melody and warmth this track would melt most refrigerators down. last but not least the outside b track entitled 30 story drop. following suite with matt’s previous releases on blue records under the alias altitude 30 story drop dives deep into basic channel influenced dub and drops some serious bass. matt thibideau’s return to the label has been long anticipated and proves that cynosure’s mandate of releasing timeless uncompromising music is still very much alive 10 years on

sister label to markantonios analytic trail imprint, mkt is all about providing a channel for different concepts in techno music. looking forward in to the future of electronic music, mkt is a space for new sounds to develop, evolve and emerge.originally created as a home for markantonios experimental works mkt has developed into a chosen destination for fellow forward thinking techno artists. this latest ep sees bosnia mladen tomic (adult records) deliver a 4 track ep.tangas is a powerful, bass driven groove that brings the tension. opening up with a cleverly drawn out build of shuffling hats and jittery stabs the culmination is comes as the pressure drops and is joined by a heavy kick and pulsing bassline.blue avenue sees tomic throw a large slice of funk in to the tech melting pot to produce a firing, discofied stripped back groove. constructed of simple but well defined layers this is an unsung hero of a track that djs will find very useful. bubamera combines harmonic melody with driving tribal rhythms to create a truly distinctive piece. high on energy but subtle in its approach, this is peaktime tech house that skilfully combines musical elements with an intense cadence.black white man continues this unique sonic journey with a combination of industrial beats and funked up rhythms. the most uplifting of the tracks on the ep, this cut packs plenty of bounce and shimmering atmosphere into the mix.

for the joy of those who know (and even more so for those who dont...), here come some classics with the capital c. treated, reworked and re edited by the unusual suspects, these gems shine for quality originality, and most of all, variety. from the late 60s (b2) to the 21st century (b3 came out only a few years ago), this 12inch encompasses some immortal tracks that bring joy to whomever the listener. different folks, different strokes, yet a1 had to be one of the most air played tune of the 80s, given the popularity it still enjoys. a2 is one of the finest moments in a legendary funkateers career: top class arrangements and groove. b1 sounds like the perfect summer outdoor party tune...boogie oogie oogie! no... not that one thats been rinsed for decades, this ones less predictable. b2 shows theres room for bop modal deepness in this killer 12inch, going back as far as the late 60s... on blue note of course. closing the series b3, a real surprise duet of the new millennium from an album that even topped the charts in 2004... smashing! dj or not, this 12inch is real hot! bring out those summer bbq grills, for we got the soundtrack.

munich man dario zenker is back again for his second vakant ep following 2008s >sam und er/womde!< (va019). still fresh faced and just as hungry, dario continues to bring the bavarian goods to our freaky masses. a side -would be nice- makes more twists and turns than a sausage factory while consistently pumping out the mystery meat thick and juicy. if you want freak, thump, space, expanse, its all here. b1 -blue champa- is perhaps more on the vegetarian tip: light, nutritious, guilt free and always leaving you a little hungry. fun and bouncy, -blue champa- easily proves that you dont need to eat meat to get phat. at b2 position you will find -while rain gets air-. we have no idea what dario means here but if you were asking yourself >wheres that track on this vakant record that wont let close my eyes at night cause i heard this track at 7am and im still a little freaked out,< this is it. listeners beware

chapter 14 for the neapolitan imprint globox, this time is the new talent francesco gemelli giving a 3 killing tribal tracks ep to the dance floor... grooves, percussions and vocals with a charismatic style...globox guaranty!!

vinyl exclusive release! no digital !!!story02 brings you more tales from the deepside that have no author attached to them and rather sound like deephouse traditionals secretly and orally passed down from one wise deephouse initiate to the next. free from superficial glitzy effects, showy noodling or even the slightest nod to the latest fad in clubland every single one of these 3 tracks is like a condensed version of what deephouse is about and revokes mystic memories of nights in dark, bassridden basements. >deepcut59< is a manifest not for minimalism but simplicity where only the slow swelling of a chord can make you burst with joy and just the addition of a hi-hat will stir you into action with new vigor. >on the way back< over on the b-side features a relentlessly pushing, driving rhythm with abstract, piercing piano chords scattered all over while the title of the closing >rhodes on drums< says it all: sweet wailing, rhodes musings on >love and happiness< for those blue hours in the morning. this story is an epic!

big with: m.a.n.d.y., julietta, tobi neumann, 2000 and one, gregor tresher, nick curly, robert dietz, argy, raresh, audiofly, afrilounge, alex flitsch, terry lee brown jr., marc romboy, anthony collins, jimpster, justin drake, brothers vibe and many more

the second release from merkur aka japasese embassy is coming. we can expect an exciting and unexpected 3 tracker which does not fit in any conventional category. gonno, tokyo based producer and dj, has graped everyones attetion with his outstanding “i don’t need competition (inkl. donnacho costello mix)” on beyond records in late winter 2008. for merkur he has designed the acid-revival track “desolation 303?,,. this track is build on a tricky chicago styled rhythm and an acid sequence which first comes slowly, later on developing an beautiful drive suitable on every dancefloor. berlin based japanese artist / label owner shingo suwa painted the tune “silver blue” with a lot of love for chords and melodic spins. maybe you can call it housemusic knocked down to a minimal attitude. “two of us” plays with warm synths on a solid base, slightly referring to the detroit deep house culture and impressing with an advanced but nevertheless solid groove

3 amazing classics by eddy grant on one 12inch!! must have!!!

huuge new clubber by koen groeneveld & addy van der zwan!

nrk - sampler 3 kicks of with the track most people associate with dj sneak, >you cant hide from your bud<, one of the records that broke the whole filtered disco thang. blue boys >sandman<. taking a riff and pitched up vocal from the undisputed truth, many will perhaps have forgotten this gem, but is ripe for revival now! side two offers up the fantastic >shake it for me< from uk producer dj d brining up the rear, studio 45s >i like the sound< was a hit on azuli in 1999. pure mirrorball dancefloor stuff. sneak essentials

1999 classic by alexander east!! blue marbled vinyl edition!!

reissue of album from 1975/a satisfying dramatics collection that includes their revised, campy version of me and mrs. jones, which had remained a staple of their live shows. astrology was riding high in the mid 70s, and (i m going by) the stars in your eyes provided fodder for astrological discussions as the guys poo poohed the differences in personality traits associated with the signs. a good balance of fast and slow tunes helps make this album a winner. good things dont come easy and never let you go are two frantic dancers that chug along faster than a speeding locomotive, while trying to get over losing you succeeds in treating losing your lover in a positive, uplifting way. the guys must have been loaded with material to keep this one off a 45. likewise for the aching, painful i cried all the way home, one of tony hesters best compositions, and easily the best ballad on the album.

all these tracks are made for the floor, in other words, made purely fordancing. rather dry compressed but driving beats combined with sweatygrooves work like a charm and the whole mixture goes fluidly anddeliciously down like the very best vintage barolo harvested at the peaktime and offering altogether more testosterone than those blue littlepills. everlasting love! another quality production brought to you bysenator recordings.
