the innervate label is on a roll and the last release featuring: pedro delgardo, fer br and dj mika did amazingly well! this funky piece of techno was a great release for the label.
this new outing is something completely new. a dark offshoot of the label was born for all the lovers of serious dancefloor techno. extremely loud and dirty vibez from the likes of patrick dsp, mika, ryuji takeuchi and virgil enzinger!
for the fans who are into labels like audio assault arms, planet rhythm and submissions!

for fans from burial... hamburg based fauxpas musik imprint is born to deliver vinyl only high quality music as limited editions. our idea is to share the music we love with our same-minded fellows. as vinyl is the only medium for real listening pleasure both in clubs and at home, you won t find our releases in any other format than vinyl. we are very proud to present our first release with desolates heroic death ep. desolates visonary idea of sound has a tremendous breadth and adroit touch for a producer of his experience, incorporating elements of modern classical with minimized dub, deep house and detroit techno. his outstanding previous releases under other monkiers are set to be future classics

2009 was a great year for these days records, and 2010 promises to be even better. the platform stood out for its innovative yet functional club sound and unique artwork concepts. the new year begins with a new split series under the name universal consciousness, based on the idea of connection between all things, and that all things have been coordinated, and they combine to make up the same universe. the first part is dedicated to two very different takes on spiritual, cosmic space techno. on the a-side argys >sometimes im blind< generates a long and uplifting emotional climax, which features a solo that will forever stay in your heart. the track was recorded at the end of 2008, and despite numerous offers to release the record elsewhere, nothing was finalised and the recording never saw the light of day. soon after the birth of his own label, it naturally fit the platform and seemed a perfect way to start the new year. on the flip side, sheffield born alexander ross, brings forth a cavernous techno piece awash with reverberation and spacial echos that brings a driving yet non the less emotionally captivating moment perfectly in balance with the depth of the a-side.

the 3rd and last part of this project!
today, one of the labels most successful releases, the >on the bus< ep gets the most complete of reworkings. the eps original tracks, lawlers own >hocus pocus<, audioflys >shazam< and tiefschwarzs >voodoo< were all conceived whilst traveling across the united states as part of a viva tour. born in studio that was housed in their tour bus, each track was then completed by each artist on their return home. after the huge response to the original release, lawler now delivers 3 brand new remix eps.

bristol-born and london-based producer rekordah takes charge of lo fi funk records second instalment. as well as running the independent label pollen, rekordah also promotes a series of parties of the same name with efa (which have hosted artists of the caliber of mike slott and slugabed among others), and crafts his own brand of cosmic, dismembered hip hop, in that wonky style everyone is raving about.
>cherry coke< on the a side, is full of bubbling sounds that evoke the soda drink your nephew drinks while he plays with that atari you found in the attic, played over a dilla style beat, whilst in the flip side we find >butternut<, in which p-funk synthesisers rise side to side with space age special effects, frantic syncopated drums and 22nd century boom bap.

dollar mambo is a fantasizing. his name is taken from the title of paul leducs film. a movie realized in panama where you find no dialogues but only music and dance to narrate the story. like in the seven dollar album, all tracks have an authentic south colour and are built, not like a film but in a way where everyone can easily imagine a sketch. all tunes are about dancing, intensity, surprising and finally a great tribute to musicians. youll find a lot of sampled instruments from massive percussion, trombone, trumpet, voice (soleil) to guitar, gitarone (gringo) and marimba (wonderful)... like a dream this album is born for those who are searching for something different, illuminating and deeply happy

release number two sees a new production talent on the label. bucharest born negru only began djing two years ago and in that short time has not only won the residency of one of the cities most famous clubs >studio martin<, but has also supported some of the biggest names in the dj world. this year has seen him step into the world of production, with forthcoming releases on cecille numbers and soweso.

1991 classic, 180 g vinyl on 2x12 vinyl set!!

the heels of love, the new milan based duo born from the joint between michele tessadri (fratelli riviera, bearfunk) and sapo (member of the love supremeproject on tirk) >two disco reprimands with an unhealthy penchant for slap bass, synths and vintage drum machines< has made a lot of noise lately with just a couple of works. after debuting here on mom with a huge remix that made its way up to beats in space and tsugis 2009 best of compilation they have had the first official release on david griffiths (the man behind jisco music) new label, under the shade. this one has sent them right into the chart of almost every known dj of the scene. >quiet please< is a slow, 110 bpm groovy piece of psychedelic disco that has its force in the balanced mix of the wobbling analog bassline, the p-funk guitars and the old flavouredsynth riffs reminescent of 1992 chicago house.

realize is the first 12inch from the from p60 album featuring hungarian singer virag keszthelyi on vocal, popular thanks to her work with lushlife project (mole listening pearls) and gero. remixes in a variety of stlyes by: quiroga (italian tech house maestro walter del vecchio from naples), supabeatz ( sicilian born electro funk new star) and forteba (talented hungarian dj producer on pastic city label).

this is a long awaited release on theomatic from a russian-born (now czech-based) house-quartet d-pulse. this definitely should have happened before as all d-pulse members and theomatic’s commander andrei zakharov (an-2) are fellow-townsmen and have known each over many years. d-pulse are known for their expressive live performances (guitar, bass and keys), everything you hear they play live and their unique vibe can shake any audience, be it hip moscow cuties or shy hick-town chicks. the band’s hectic schedule has put this ep on hold for several months, but at last guys managed to organize themselves and lay final touches to the production. the a-side is a mellow, spaced-out disco jam called ‘prekrasna’ - the russian for ‘beautiful’, especially when referred to ladies. the dancefloor-aimed ‘moments’ on the flip side starts off with hypnotic, dubbed-out guitar and atmospheric synths laid over fat house beat. it gradually leads to the breakdown followed by guitar driven blast-off and takes you to the orbital heights from wherever you are.

we here at max trax are proud to introduce justin stride and his 3 babies chicago days, deeptrix and deftonez. wales born and bred, house music producer, justin stride may be a new name to many people, but if you spend some time you ll find that justin has been in the game for more than a minute and has an amazing list of credits to his name. please do your best to give them a proper listen and support them whenever possible.

twentieth release in fat cats famed split series compilations, this record combines norways alog with sunroof! member astral social club.
active since 1997 and one of norways leading exponents of experimentalelectronic music, alog is the duo of espen sommer eide and dag-are haugan, mainstays at the rune grammofon label.
alogs unique, hybrid sound has since developed through four albums that have unfurled a series of abstract yet accessible, self-contained sound worlds, each animated with their own internal logic, mixing a wide variety of bothelectronic and acoustic sources into something warm, intricate and organic.
alog embrace the freedom to flit and root in the cracks between strands of minimalism, electronica, post-rock, improv and vernacular music, merging woozy, stuttering electronica (a la oval or nobukazu takemura), with rich, shoegazey guitars, freeform improvisation, scandinavian folk, field recording and the masterful editing and soundscaping of electroacoustic composition.
astral social club is the project of prolific scottish-born neil campbell, apivotal figure on the uk post-punk underground, with a vast catalogue and numerous collaborations.
a member of both matthew bowers total and sunroof! projects, he appeared on three of the latters albums before helping to form the hugely influential and prolific (over 40 releases) leeds-based drone/psych-rock outfit vibracathedral orchestra in 1998.
campbell left vco in 2006 to go solo as astral social club, under which moniker he has released a number of albums (on labels like vhf, important, qbico, textile) and an ever-increasing stream of self-released cdrs in alimited edition series of volumes (currently up to #19).
the three tracks here were recorded by campbell, john clyde-evans, paul walsh and spider stacy.

born in the same year but on wildly different career trajectories, a chance meeting in ibiza last year between ben watt and hell sparked this unexpected release. with help on this release from previous buzzin fly don christian prommer, hell could turn in a deep house monster. >freak it< also features hot man-of-the-moment spencer parker on the remix. this is the latest single from ben watts respected imprint buzzin fly, an unexpected home for the german electroclash / techno don, hell. available on limited edition 12 inch featuring collectors’ artwork (500 copies).

ranking records 10th release sees russian producer/vocalist marina faib burst onto the scene with a 12inch that is frankly nothing short of astonishing. for a girl born in the 1990s, faib shows astounding maturity in her restrained approach to sound and rhythm, employing stuttering drum loops to underlay soundscapes that would put many a hollywood composer out of work. ticking clocks is a spine tingling example of this: the texture of the track comes from a euphoric choral sample which soars over a deep chasm of sub bass energy, climaxing in the perfect placement of a slithering arabic reed solo. whisper of trees shows the same mastery of atmosphere and musical arrangement - this time the tune is built from blissed out vocal lines, warm synth pads and a pulsating low end.

aoki was born 1976 in osaka and is presently resident in berlin, germany. he has been releasing music since 2001 and ever since has been reviewing his personal methodology whilst actively creating sounds based mainly on computer/software. aoki is an energetic artist vigorously expanding the limits of original musical expression. he enthusiastically pursues an expansive variety of techniques of expression via a broad array of software and hardware. the rhythm and groove created by driving the cpu to the max may seem extreme. however, the respect and the inquiring mind to the root existence of the art expression of music keeps flowing incessantly.

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.

the new york producer and dj, alexi delano, can not miss this excellent template. in his remix of the mentioned track he whispers it the required dryness in, and so it becomes afterhour-compatible ... and it continues to roll… brian sanhaji and his interpretation of this symbiosis: the use of his characteristic style of the born frankfurte in his remix gives the all-rounder track the old well-known gloomy and beloved hardness, but does not loses the melodic nature out of sight. the whole thing will become a new symbiosis ... and it continues to roll ...

andré decided spontaneously to record fresh material especially for the label, more than 6 months before our fi rst release. this says a lot about the common trust that was born that day, much before the hype surrounding the man. the result of this saw the light some weeks later in the form of vehemence of silence, a track of indeniable power which breathes long years of djing & berlin afterhours as much as uncovering close impressions of andré’s emotional outcome. this is what made me feel that track like a whisper to my body & soul and what makes me so proud to release it today… more than 10 months down the line, andré improved it, tested it on the fl oor till a fi nal club listening session in the middle of the berghain dancefl oor where we both knew it was ready to be shared… this special track needed of course outstanding alternative perspectives and it didnt take me long to propose my old friend danilo plessow amongst andrés favorites to give it his magic : motor city drum ensembles version translates an unexpected techno jam reminiscent of the best early soma days. the ep is completed by a second original called dark edge, a sophisticated & raw deep house joint. a&r and words by dairmount

in perfect timing for the 10th bpitch control birthday, thomas muller presents his third solo release. born in paris, the berlin-elect has been in the city for about 2 years. certainly his current location has left an indelible mark on thomas creations - his deep and highly detailed soundscapes were already evident in the last release, >seduction< - a clear idiom into an increasingly dark realm. his current work continues consitently and ambitiously in the same vein.

supported by: anja schneider, julietta, brothers vibe, matthias tanzmann, anthony collins, chris wood, gebr?der teichmann, kabale und liebe, federico molinari, nekes, ray okpara, johnny d., sascha dive, ekkohaus, varoslav... reggie hammond was born in borrego spings in 1982. but already at a very young age he decided to leave the californian deserts and moved to london to focus on electronic music. the rolling techno-tool track for the 3rd diaphan release was created during a jam-session and ? as you can easily hear ? it is followed by some very crazy vocals spoken and sang by the >pleasemachine<, who transform it into a song that drives you directly to the dancefloor. with >ungodly< he presents a slow and very deep dub-track proving his frankness for other styles. the release will be completed by george p s pleasemachine-rmx and shows the track from an absolute different point of view. as a bonus you can also find an instrumental version of >pleasemachine< on the next powerful diaphan ep

the mind melt keeps melting. pretty soon we will just be puddles of freaky essential oils, reduced down to our effervescent essence, like jasmine, or dry kool-aid. of course we are talking about onur Ízers album kasmir, the gift that keeps on giving. once again renowned artists have come out in full force reworking selected tracks off onurs album for vakants remix-only vr. first up is mr. rajko m³ller, better known as isolÚe, who having spent some time growing up in algeria, continues with the african remixer theme (tunisian born loco dice remixed eclipse on part 1. you know us, as if we even need an excuse to work in africa somehow.) isolÚe takes onurs otherwise chilling innervoice and reinterprets it into a thick warm blanket of reassuring bounce. flipping the record inverts dimensions of time and space. abyssfully deep legend baby ford takes the already ethereal aida and turns it into the soundtrack for finding the god particle. its scary, yes, but ultimately it could explain everything.

as house continues to take its stronghold over techno, even in berlin the epicentre of all things minimal, we gear up for a summer of ‘actual’ dancing over regimented arm pumping and head nodding. having impressed laurent garnier, m.a.n.dy, solumun, karotte, tg (tim green) and ellen alien last year with his collaboration with enzo elia, martin patiño caught the attention of true to form with his fresh, playful approach to house and techno and hypnotic percussive elements .born in italy, but with south american roots and now living in berlin, you can hear vibrant audio recollections seeping onto every groove. citing dali’s surrealist paintings as another creative reference (a nod to which is contained in the track title ‘the tempation’), you could say martin draws on the atypical compared to your average electronic producer.the result is the blissful simplicity of ‘sundays’ on the a side, percussive, sundrenched and a perfect am terrace lifter.on the flip side is peak time tech house groover ‘the temptation’ and a hypnotic, dub heavy remix of black dahlia (the original of which will appear on the digital only release) produced with long term cohort enzo elia. true to form, now in its 5th year, showcases tracks and remixes from such respected producers as pan pot, gavin herlihy, jesse rose, samim, pascal foes, mikael weil, justin maxwell, claude von stroke, subjekt, tom ellis, leif and more

releasing for the first time on paradigma musik, two young artists from the italian port city oflivorno or (in english) leghorn, have united under the techno alias, alicanuel for the imprint’ssixteenth edition.ilario alicante, one half of alicanuel, was practically born with a passion for music whichultimately resulted in 10 releases – including the successful living near africa, released in2008 on cecille records. his work is respected and played by the legendary likes of svenväth, ricardo villalobos, marco carola, luciano, nick curly, and many more. ilario s currentbase in berlin has had a powerful influence on much of his work.ilario’s musical half is none other than the eccentric, emmanuel beddewela, currently residingin italy. testing all musical boundaries, emmanuel bears a strong stance in the contemporaryunderground techno and house scene. the sounds and melodies echoed in his work stem backto the very music of his ancestry.paradigma bagged a mound of talent on this number including a festive two-sider comprisedof „tagonga,“ a romantic upbeat track with violins and recorders weaved throughout its courseand „as warm as you can,“ moderately mirroring its counterpart using modern instrumentals.both genial tracks reveal ilario’s fervent deep house grooves and emmanuel’s old countryetno-folk melodies.

the chile house connection continues to sling the dopest stuff to our floors, barely satisfying the constant craving of dancers and punters worldwide for the highly addictive mixture of salacious latin polyrhythmics and organic afro inspired drum sounds with universal electronic 4/4 beats. cut and wraped up neatly by chile born and fastly rising don felipe valenzuela and swiss expat dani casarano, this duo continues with this heated 3 tracker to further cement their reputation from earlier releases on fumalab as a highly combustible combination: elastic compulsively grooving house beats are intervowen with latin-american call and response vocals in >otra vida<, the fittingly titled >push< constantly builds up the pressure even in the breakdowns with frantic, flamenco style hand clapping and >the little house< with its disco style bassline and the conga driven beat hints at the fruitful marriage of latin, soul and dance music in the melting pot of 70s new york. muy rico!!

shinichi osawa made his debut as the leader and bassist for mondo grosso, a band formed in kyoto in 1991, with an album mondo grosso released in 1993 from for life records (japan). in the heightened acid-jazz movement, the album got great reviews and was well-received overseas as well. in 1995, after finishing off the tour following the release of the second album born free, the band was disbanded.

grey area records is a new label based in milan, born by a group of italian artists deeply fascinated by techno. their aim is to offer different shades of dancefloor oriented music, ranging from deep and dark atmosphere to fresh and sunny vibes, with a high regard for a groundbreaking interpretation. this release is all about basslines, darkness and groove, showing what two young but very talented producers can achieve together. this studio collaboration between alessio mereu (cmyk, renovatio, t-bet) and the selph (apnea, thisorder, sunplay), carries the distinctive mark of both, resulting in rolling basslines,solid grooves and moody melodies, carefully packed in astonishing soundscapes.we can guarantee this unique alchemy to work incredibly well for both your body and your soul.

rick wade - first darkness the third release on our new born vinyl only sublabel that twists us arround these days like nothing else in this world. after the tremendous sucess of of ricks debut on laid 01 intelligence which had been a great kick off for our new imprint we couldt help but wonder: where we all in fact just dating the same person over and over again? but anyways here is just another wonderful record of one of our all time favourite producers mr. rick wade. as you can sense from the title rick wade once more employs some of his darker signature synths lines in the main track that provide a glorious sparkle of sublime athmosphere

some notorious electronic music talents have started their careers as percussionists. and so did yaya, but his tale is different to all the rest. his new release for desolat takes a unique, upbeat approach to 4/4 beats: combining heartfelt benin influences - samples from dialogue and traditional ballads - with the stretched-out tension and release of balearic and the bubbling pops and stutters of tech house, plus the occasional kickback to a commodore64 high score melody. raised in turin, italy, rhythm was his lifeblood for yassin legali, also known as yaya, from an early age. his father was the lead vocalist and percussionist for mbamina, a band consisting of musicians from benin, zaire, italy and cameroon. mbamina released eight albums, collaborated with artists like manu dibango and salif keita, were sponsored by paco rabanne and played all over africa, including a show for the presidents of senegal and france. their final show was with james brown in paris in 1985 - the year yaya was born. well-versed in his fathers legacy, yaya grew up playing drums and djembe, and at the age of 15, began performing as a percussionist in turin clubs. just one year later, he was already djing, playing funk, soul, afrobeat, house and garage. manu dibango and fela kuti found a spot in his crate next to records by masters at work and dimitri from paris: contrasts of rhythm and structure that pervade his music to this very day.

its already well-known that cocoon recordings is a sucker for tracks that stand out of the usual field of - lets be honest - often uniformly reduced tech-house, and the past nine years of the labels history have proven this sustainably. and the rhein-neckar area based team flatner/lopazz are again two hot candidates to leave their very special mark on the summer of 2009. after all, circlemusic manager alex flatner is rocking the floors as a dj and producer for already 10 years now, having been releasing for labels such as harthouse or black nation, whereas the heidelberg-born stefan eichinger aka lopazz has made himself a name with releases on imprints from the likes of output, international deejay gigolo and mainly get physical. together they celebrate a very funky understanding for percussive techno, which is setting highly meaningful moments for the primetime, particularly by means of lascivious vocals. i wanna take you all night long, for sure! and you definitely cant find a better expression for the perfect pounding symbiosis between bass-focused club stompers and economically dosed pop elements than its time to make up your mind.
