founded in 1984 by andre manuel aka the unknown dj, techno hop records is back with a stunning big beat production between electro, hip hop and breaks

todd bodine demonstrates with this ep once again extraordenary taste and skills. after a very successfull excursion on claude van strokes mothership label and his activities as a heavily booked live-act and dj he presents on >unexpected life-form< two brilliant tracks, that seem to burst with their energy. todd bodine apparently has gained a lot of experience how to bunch the impact on both the dancefloor and the musical side and how to turn the result into a wall of sound. and hes doing it by following his own unique style. on the a-side >calypso< captivates you right after a few seconds with its pulsating sequences and a subtle growing energy-level from break to break. developing a drive which wont miss its impact on any floor. >snakeskin< on the flip is homogeneously build around shimmering melody-sequences which create the energy of this track, while the bassline below pulsates warm and deep. sounds like: detroit without kitsch. or like a cross between matthew johnson, robert hood and fabrice lig. to put it in other words: a typical todd bodine release in the best sense. allready a true highlight in the highgradecatalogue in 20

after several remixes and longtime waiting our artist h.o.s.h. releases his next own ep. and he is back with a real banger! >the valve< sounds connected to steppenwolf, but feels more like a coninue: more modern, more pushing and more groove. like hell! a balkan- flute plays sometimes, but very harmonic to the track. heebie-jeebie! >super sick bowl< is a fantastic groove, too, but a bit more housy like classic recordings. awesome, never boring housebeat spiced with two cool and sick breaks. this loop could run forever. single words work perfect with the beat and provide a stimulating sexappeal. under a fig tree starts more technoid with the sound, but has still a groovy house for 3 minutes til the break - and out of this break a new sound is evolving. on the one this track continues with a warm bass hook, leaving the technoid sounds behind. what a twist! just beautyfull! thanx hosh

nice price deal !!! nother pounding hybrid set of low-end killers here from hot-flush, kicking off with the tumbling rhythms and wobbling sublow of ?deep under? - its a track that teeters on the brink of breaks science throughout, keeping itself wrapped up in a relentless bass envelope despite the distractions brought on by constantly evolving skitters - mighty stuff. the rhodes-inflected breaks and bass clash of ?sparkle? offers time for reflection on the flip, borrowing a melodic underlay from some abandoned, dusty jazz-club somewhere strange, tugging you back underground with its careful arrangement if frequencies at the lowest end of the spectrum. righteous

great hiphop-flavored breakbeat/electro-ep by headrush, made in 2002.

the truesoul imprint represents the somewhat soulful side of its owner - adam beyer. here, cari lekebusch takes up the challenge and produces two wonderful tracks. on the a side we are treated to a wonderful deep 808 driven groove with eerie pads, neat reverses and cool cowbells that creates a wonderful intensity. on the flip side again the deep groove is apparent with neat vocoded vocal samples and fat bass before there is a cool break and the main synth sound appears in the track to give it a seriously intense lift

gaetano parisio returns to supreme form here for his very own conform label with this monster 2 tracker. gaetano has always managed to be diverse in his style with his southsoul and conform labels and here he manages to create a powerful dance floor killer that will surely appeal. the a side is driven by a monster growling analogue bassline groove and razor sharp production punctuated by cool edits and a superb break which simply builds the intensity whilst the flip is a menacing minimal stripped down groove that simply builds and builds. superb

ffms premium label for deep & minimal sounds qualitative high above standard dance stuff is back from the summer break. traditionally lnz mastermind pascal feos himself lights the lnz release oven and adds his label cataloque with two endurance track runners. it may surprise, how airly the runner with starting number 1 floats through the colourful wood of golden october, cheered on by moogy mild hookline that strokes the drum body. from time to time the race track passes some clearings, the chilling atmosphere of pascal feos side-project aural float waves at the horizon. but then he trots on and on embraced by the feeling of runners high. with the racing number 2 the >generator child< starts athletic but thoughtful on his tom tom-dymanic soles, more and more leading into an 808-hypnotic run on black asphalt. a >generator child< speech sample trails off in the dusk and an lfo-spiralled veil of mist twirls over the head of the scared kid.

there is certainly not enough space to tell you all the great things about move d we would love to share with you. being the musical mind behind the legendary source records imprint, david moufang has always been a versatile and prolific character. from ambient soundscapes to krautrocky epics, jazz sensibilities or straight up techno and house, he has done it all with his own special and unique touch. this lovely fingerprint is spread all over the “cube ep . intended as a tribute to heidelberg’s finest club night of the same name (don’t mix it up with that other square project!) , move d shots two arrows straight into your heart. “cube” is one of those stripped down hypnotic affairs that seem to go on forever and ever just to surprise you with a nice breakdown, before it’s groove sucks you in again. we guess this is what people mean, if they talk about the beauty of simplicity. “heidelberg gals” flips the script in three parts with an old school approach and turns into a monolithic house monster with a bassline to boot. panache! bust a move d!

underwater is a true breakthrough a song so undeniably laid back and catchy, the duo came up with the term cosmic sea shanty to sum it up. with its undeniable madchester/beta band delivery, dfa decided it was more of an e shanty, especially the dub on the flipside, which blends warm keys, euphoric piano, and a killer bass line. underwater is more unique magic from the tiny sticks men and a new page in their still evolving career.

after a one-sided promo release earlier this year, here are the massive remixes of gold, diaz & young rebels – >open sesame<. following their big success with the felix remake “dont you want me” last year, this time they worked on this classic by leila k. after the thomas gold & francesco diaz mix is already causing some serious dancefloor madness over the last weeks, get now ready for two remixes of some heavyweights of the international house scene. on the one side, we have eddie thoneick together with his buddy jens mangold, delivering a driving progressive peak-time bomb with a huge 2-minutes-break. on the other side, tom novy works with even more of the vocals and some strong old-school elements, but in a modern context. special rerelease

likely ep is tims first release on tiefschwarzs souvenir label. lead track alike sounds like ivan smagghe jamming with richie hawtin in a warehouse rave in london, skirting a line between futuristic tech house and discerning electro. a live bassline holds down the groove as a trickling bleepy melody develops throughout the track. as more and more layers of elaborate sonic trickery are laid down, a driving snare jacks out the groove further before a series of effects laden breakdowns tighten the tension further and further. cowbells take the second phase of the track ever taughter before the groove emerges into a stabbing hook and pulsating synth noises that drive the dancefloor into blissed out oblivion. subtle vocals tease the ears in the background of the final strung out breakdown, never quite dominating the tune before the jacking bass and kick drop back in. ‘unlike shares a similar vibe for mixing live instruments with plug in madness. live sounding bassline and guitar lines open the track and roll out the groove before the main synth hook takes over. as the track rolls in and out of its breakdowns it lurches between reverb heavy, bleepy chaos and futuristic rhythms. think depeche mode writing an experimental instrumental on the moon in 2012 and youre halfway there. like many french artists these days tim lives and works in london and also collaborates with fellow frenchies ivan smagghe and dante eprom. he first caught the attention of vinyl sleuths with his excellent remix of db (8)s future now in 2004 and now runs his own label marketing music as well as pushing the boundaries of spacey electro flavoured tech house with his own solo material.

artizan number four wheels in the big guns from londons clubbing firmament in the shape of faith head honchos terry farley & dave jarvis who deliver a simple yet deadly house groove. if that were not enough, there are some heavy duty remixes from jafar & touch, funky transport & tom blacksoul, this ep adds a touch of class to proceedings

this project is a showcase of ians most recent club tracks and all appear in there original mixes. crank this, is a seriously heavy club tune. budapest, has a middle eastern vibes (hence the title) and has wobbly, wonky bass as well as a distinct break beat kick drum pattern. finally the much talked about everything & nothing, the title track of this ep sees ian going down a melodic & uplifting pryda influenced route.

dortmunds very own ‚diskobär, the inimitable ante perry prepares for new double cd long-player extravaganza , flashing disco sounds, with two cuts exclusively produced with close studio comrades tube & berger. these hot co-productions between the long-time buddies simply cannot fail to get the party going. the overwhelming anthemic stir of human you is evident for the very start, but its true dancefloor potential can only be understood after the full ecstatic wonder of the breakdown pours out over a large crowd. super-constructed tech-discohouse is where its at in this high intensity, high drama, big room flashing disco monster. the curiously titled walthervondervogelweide on the other hand is a more brooding beast altogether. working the underlying tension and keeping the pressure tightly locked to the floor its a dangerous late night dancefloor workout... left in the wrong hands this could seriously damage your ability to leave the dancefloor! finally fellow dortmund heavy-calibre producer peter jürgens works his remixing magic and twists human you into a housed up, long building affair that operates on a more stripped, subterranean level to begin with but bursts out above ground with carefully timed energy. warm driving beats and pads layer to reveal the identifying melody of the original.

energetic vocal/piano drenched breaks - punks offshoot...

the >king of epic< returns to storming for a sick three tracker, and from the opening track its not hard to see why there is so much excitement surrounding this promising producer. a tension building intro and huge breakdown set the scene for bomb jack, before dropping in to a dirty, gritty roller. receiving support from caspa, rob da bank, the others and joe nice to name a few.
