for his first release of 2012 shlomi aber has kept aside for be as one two of his most roadtested secret weapons of the last months. after a successfull 2011 with two big releases on be as one, which include his exciting collaboration with dj sneak, and the remixes pack for his album on ovum, its now time for >in dancetrippin ep<. in dancetrippin on the a and >faced u< on the b are indeed two very special tracks. as its name says, the a side is a dance-trip indeed, trippy vox and rolling grooves dubbed into shlomis own dark and hypnotic quality trademark sound. faced u on the b is another kind of trip into sounds, this time with a more minimalistic but yet jazzy approach, making it a quality sounding peak time anthem.

february sure isnt the month to laze around when the new rennbahn baby is chasing for your dance. the crotalus ep starts as if there was a crotalus right behind you! the original mix delivers a powerful basedrum and deep synths. the snake sounds, vocal snippets and the use of reverb and delay build a wide and huge atmosphere which leads us directly out of the reality into the heart of the jungle where youd love nothing better than to stay forever. watch out - you shouldnt stop dancing unless you want to get bitten by a snake! the marco fender remix on the flip side takes us out of the jungle into the club. an impulsive beat highlighted by a sub baseline comes to a nice replaying synth melody. here the vocal snippets are not applied to fulfill the song with a deep atmosphere but to complete the hypnotic rhythm of it. watch out - the snake still follows you at every turn! finally miyagis remix comforts us with safety - marching towards the end, it seems like we got rid of the snake. now we can wholeheartedly lose ourselves in very deep synths, floating hi-hats and a mystical and tempting melody. as if this wasnt enough the outstanding beat wont let you take a break and forces you to keep on dancing

addictive beatdown house tracks inspired by the athmosphere of a foggy san fransisco. memories of days with good friends hanging out in a foggy city gives a melancholic feel, but the masculine grooves make this a fierce release that works well in the club. a nice combination that goes back to some hiphop roots and a love for deeper intense house music that works in the club. great start for this new japanese label from tokyo!

only one sided - but essential disco

achterbahn d amour is courtesy of edit piafra & iron curtis. rooted in nu&#776,,,,rnberg, city of love. jx2 is another slammer, guided by lush pads and some quirky acidish bassline that cuts from your left brain to your right brain and then straight to the next dancefloor. there is no escape, dont even try! the other side of the platter has more to offer: the middle of is a high standard dj tool with heart. repetitive loops all over and no end in sight. but(t)! exactly the right amount of dirt to keep you movin and shakin that hips. oh, we have to admit, no rnb samples were used at all. sorry guys! if youre into pop music with a certain love for jackin house music, youll probably go for into the wilde. this song was recorded just before a mad club gig in berlin and you know what to expect: pitcheddown and pitched-up vocals, a live bass and drum machine workouts galore. frank says: these guys are hot as hades. early plays by gilbr (chateau flight), axel boman, basic soul unit, hunee, san soda, roberto rodriguez, red rack em, sasse, ethyl, patlac, matthias vogt (motorcitysoul), francis inferno orchestra, snuff crew & foffie.

alberto pascual analytic trail after anagrams ep in 2010, releases for the second time a project of one of the most internationally famous spanish producers, alberto pascual. his works have been played by richie hawtin, dubfire, markantonio, adam beyer, cristian varela, joseph capriati and others techno giants. bailando, is a creative and tasteful ep formed by four track, including a remix of manuel anos a.k.a. psyk, already reached the success with is project released on richie hawtins minus label. the first track is bailando, it has a powerful charge with its massive groove and obstinate synth that flies hasty on a swarm of rides. no breaks in this tune, techno device. bailando continues to leave its mark through another spanish producer, his name is manuel anos a.k.a. psyk. he creates an amazing remix made by a weighty kick and a compressed bassline, this compact but hard beat is surrounded by acid sounds and increasing effects that make of this track a dark techno wave of course.amok has a rousing modulation that directs the track in a swinging vibe with linear claps and hihats. but is just the beginning, after few minutes something changes, a dirty synth in background starts to support an hurry beat that goes on till the break. here everything seems to quiet till the restart, where the ride rules and nobody cant avoid its rage. final lap with homonymous track of this ep. this artist on this tune can show his eclecticism using a techno unbreakable step with electronic cyclic string. wonderful underground soundtrack. so young, so strong, so techno. this is another quality touch for analytic trail, good music must be appreciated.

alexi delano dwells in the perfect balance between shiny minimalism and dark vivacious techno. with more than two decades on stage he has been able to combine different roots and facets of the contemporary music scale.
alexi is intimately linked to the plus 8, clink rec and truesoul labels and each one of his projects has been leaving foot prints on the minimal/techno scene. he performs constantly in clubs around the world and in prestigious events.

with the latest album from dance producer hans-peter lindstrøm, norways latest entry in the space race has been launched out of the wooded outskirts of oslo. six cups of rebel, lindstrøms fourth solo album, is a super-sized cosmic disco rocket that burns up a galaxy of eclectic influences in its wake, from bach to deep purple, from prog rock and arpeggiator disco to acid house, while sounding sleek and utterly contemporary. he may worship at the temple of godlike european djs from the 80s like daniele baldelli and beppe loda, but the relentless, occasionally monumental scale of six cups of rebel has the power to move mountains all by itself.
double 12 inch in gatefold cover, cd-version of this album included.

break new soil kickstarts into 2012 with chapter 4 of our breaking new soil series.
macromism ride high on the waves of success of their monster track >groover< on rawthentic, and the two italians manage to keep the pace high on their debut for bns: >rave nu world<! label veteran daniele papini graces bns once again with his unmistakable production and the subtle arpeggiated beauty in his latest track >staying away from me<, and last but not least we are glad to present a track by labelowner gregor tresher together with german marathon-dj karotte, that has been a secret weapon in both of their sets for a long time and finally sees the light of day – today.

coinciding with a hot new video and an upcoming album re-release courtesy of island records, turbo weighs in with heavyweight remix support from label bossmaster tiga and russian rave-czar proxy.
tigas mix gets reckless with your ears with a versatile after-hours jam. it packs a bassy punch but keeps its head down in the lifestyle k-hole, exercising restraint while showing off a mature and developed sexuality.
proxy turns in a bumping, hip-hop influenced mix, with old-skool cowbells, crushed claps and a sh-101 lead guaranteed to make heads bob til they cant bob no more. this is probably the only time azari & iii will ever be used to start a mosh, at least until society does some much-needed growing up.

this one is with morgan phalen, from a band called diamond nights that we love but went unnoticed 6/7 years ago. he lives in los angeles and we had him come over to paris to record. we wrote the lyrics with him and tried, as always, not to sound too stupid, avoiding clichés like come to the dancefoor, but without pretending to be bob dylan either. our lyrics are always a bit quirky. if they sound good and theres a little edge or something fun to them, were happy.

after several appearances on the label, kareem comes up trumps again with an excellent first solo single release backed by a wonderful remix from white doyen oskar offermann himself.how low can you go the opener track acts as a discreet, structured, driving and some how dubby house tune that keeps a nice layer of grit beneath the fingernails. its loopy character imparts the feeling of virtually remaining unchanged but it nevertheless staidly evolves within its sonic borders and imparts a sensual quality of all-enveloping warmth. oskar offermanns interpretation of how low can you go introduces skipping melodies that are transmitted as choppy discoesque pulses and rhythmic modulated bass sounds are the preferred form of punctuation. indeed the remix is intended to be a dj tool, but like all of oskar offermanns recent house works, it builds smoothly as though every element was simply waiting in the wings to make its appearance at the proper moment, and – just before it finishes up – sounds like it could go on forever.

piotr bejnar might still look like a freshman on the mos ferry label, but he convinced us with talent, devotion and a fascinating drive when performing his music live on stage. look up his name on youtube and you will know why ... one year after his surprising debut with the digital 3-tracker >janusz ep<, this follow up will also be released on vinyl. for piotr bejnar the >cracow fight< is not only a platform to present himself. he welcomes his friend and producer jackname trouble on board and finishes the 4-tracker with 2 excellent remixes. yapacc and patlac are definitely no unknown entities. the two german producers are highly acclaimed for their own releases and remixed the tracks with great respect to the originals.

despite the doors being closed on dissident in 2009, former boss andy blake has been anything but quiet, with his world unknown imprint bringing the acid and ebm sounds of his night of the same name to the world. now hes started another label, in plain sight, which looks set to bring more esoteric house sounds to our ears, with the first release coming from the hitherto unknown youngtee. the first track, >dr chocolate< fuses the kind of oddball low-slung sounds and spoken-word samples that in flagranti have been masters of for years, with jazzy keys and 808 cowbells which hint at a subtle chicago influence. the classic house influence continues of >perfect model<, which combines misty chords with an 80s pop groove, falsetto vocal sample and synth jam solo which comes across as alternate universe michael jackson track. as youd expect from a label curated by blake, its house music, but not quite as you know it.

fireworks for 2012 to start the house music year with another incredible various artists ep on laid records, dials lovely subdivision. palisade aka redshape comes up with an outstanding journey into avantgarde based on the feedbacks of john cages >pendulum music<. smallvilles shooting star of 2011 moomin is back with another lovely tune - simply on point, direct into the heart. last but not least rndm follows up his pigon releases to beg for more: when will the first rndm longplayer will finally be released!? three tracks to prove again: house music is here to stay

when no one is watching ramona, is usually listening to future times records and beautiful swimmers all days. maxmillion dunbar is not only half of those aquanauts, but also running the label and releasing music as max(million) d(unbar). what a guy! hanging out in the vague territory between slow-motion house with a hip hop feeling or dubby and dubious fun music, his melodious approach is extremely hard to categorize but all the more enjoyable. >polo< already saw the light of day on >max trax for world peace<, but ramonas favorite dj ata and live at robert johnson manager oliver hafenbauer were so much in love with the bleepy bonbon that they offered it a place by their fireside. now cautiously modified, fine-tuned and extended for its label home, its a rainforest serenade for beatnik boys and girls, with all the ingredients you want from tha d. the only kid able to thrown down the gauntlet in front of maxi is frankfurts melody man phillip lauer (arto mwambe, brontosaurus, etcetera etcetera). turning >polo< into one of his trademark sluggish bass line barrage tracks with falsetto synths and sharp snares. get your vogue brogue out.

the new leena welcomes an artist who rise through the ranks of the dj elite has been swift, purposeful and striking. starting out as a promoter and label manager, nicole moudaber booked huge acts for her soundworx nights at londons legendary turnmills club alongside running southeast recordings, but it wasnt long before she started to produce herself. flawlessly carving out her very own edgy house and tough, soulful techno sound, her music was instantly picked up by the worlds leading tastemakers including carl cox, john digweed and pete tong. a residency in ibiza playing alongside carl cox at his weekly night followed, as well as requests for guest mixes on both his and john digweeds internationally syndicated radio shows. her releases have received just as much praise as her dj performances.

with davidchristoph we have a fresh, fulminant dj battle, which stands for extravagant work behind the decks! feasting up to the point of ecstasy, dancing in great profusion and music that forces you to move your body, are just 3 maxims they act on. for patterns the boys show their diversity in styles, resulting in a more subttle techno style than you might know patterns for, but for sure this is an effective piece of vinyl! perfect dancefloor material.

its now the turn of shapednoise for features series, and to complete this ep made of pure adrenaline theres the remix of the well known dino sabatini (outis music,sonic groove, prologue). shapednoise, one of the youngest and most promising artists of the techno scene, is based in berlin, fully living the repitch recordings project. his musical background is really wide, and you can notice it listening to his productions, a futuristic vision of the sound, with industrial elements and synthesizers characterizing his sonority. the second act of the series starts with white light white head: an out of ordinary track, an unusual beat, techno futuristic, that flows into a neo-industrial sound, with soundscapes that make it mental, but at the same time a post-apocalyptic dancefloor hit. dino sabatinis version hypnotizes us, manipulates shapednoises sounds las only he can do, with his incomparable personality, rhythmics and drone evolving until the end of a trip to the edge of reality. cosmic landscapes (the tiltle already tells a lot), is a track with very powerful rhythmics, for the lovers of straight-techno. shapednoise, an artist to absolutely keep an eyes on this year. also this time the artwork of pasquale ascione makes its part: surreal, unique, making you wondering where this faces come from, maybe from our dreams.features series is a whole of musicalities where images and imaginary interpenetrate. supported and played by norman nodge, perc, samuli kemppi, jonas kopp, marcel dettmann, adam x, tommy four seven, lucy, dvs1, pfirter and many others!

lime dubs returns with a really sharp ep by brazilian alex mind. the power of the release lies in the electronic but yet melodic style consisting of bright synths and basses all perfectly coming together on 3 very strong and well produced tracks.

hybrid minds represent a new musical force, with their melodic, soulful drum and bass already making waves. a synergy between influences including trip-hip, acoustic, soul and rnb, hybrid minds, consisting of sensa, haste and grimm, draw on a myriad of influences to produce the smooth sound they are known for. quadrant is best known for the hardware release manipulated living on the carpe diem lp, a track that hasnt left many djs crates since. since then, their output has been slow but steady, and they have amassed a highly respected slew of appearances on triple vision labels citrus and fokuz, showcasing their equal proclivities for dancefloor impact and melodic beauty.2011 represented a remarkable push forward for quadrant, the volume of their output has greatly increased, but like a fine wine, the years have only sharpened their ear for quality and detail. several new solo tunes in the pipeline, and worldwide dj support spanning the gamut from goldie to state of mind, are serving to make this an exciting time for quadrant, their music, and their loyal fans.

we start this year 2012 introducing a new release but at the same time a new talented artist from spain. here is the sound of xformxs. his debut ep called po-334 is a new refreshing work to be proud of. you ll find a fine electro and techno combination with some detroitish flavor in this first 12inch limited to 200 copies

welcome on the other side! llfo is back on track with the next strike and the very first release for 2012. this time with michael melchner and jorge savoretti. michael melchner comes along with a genuine declaration of love to deep house music. sumu mainly build of trippy ambient sounds and sizzling hats, combined with a chunky but smooth kick, generates a warm and cozy feeling, which you will love for sure. jorges contribution sul meno has a different approach. it begins already on the dancefloor and you can hear the goal right from the start. this is modern electronic dance music

already causing a stir on promo, dark arts 01 comprises 4 tracks of deeply arresting dancefloor music. mid blue is a soundtrack for the darkest corner of the warehouse. the square bass grabs you from the first bar and combines with cosmic sweeps to drag you down deep before the toms come in to add that all-important funk factor. broken space is a beautifully playful track. the stuttering beat, organic percussion and melodic touches merge with the darkest of strings to create a sound rooted in classic electronica but belonging firmly in the present. restraint is a burst of heavyweight electroid futurism – rock-solid beats and alien sounds from god-knows which galaxy combine with a razor-sharp cymbal attack. handle with care. proper deep detroit business – a quote from just one of techno’s most well-respected producers.red_dust2 is a huge, rolling tech-house rhythm, mixing the warmth of the motor city with the cold machine funk found this side of the pond. pure, timeless and custom-built for the dancefloor. mastered by one of the most well respected engineers in techno and pressed in one of europe’s finest pressing plants, dark arts 01 is limited to 250 hand stamped, clear vinyl copies.

jackoff beats in a new various artist series from jackoff records. jobeats001 features ver¬sions of jackoff releases that have never been on vinyl before but have been tearing up dance-floors around the globe in digital formats. due to the partners at jackoff head office having such a love of vinyl, it was only a matter of time before this tracks came out on wax. the first release brings iron curtis, oliver deutschmann and october behind the mixing desk plus a bonus track from rising star borai that was all recorded in the smoked out city of bristol behind the red door - strictly for those that know!

a product of his surroundings, wasserfall creates organic, electronic music using an array of tools - including a nord modular g2x, a roland tr 909, a roland sp 404 sampler & an apogee ensemble – but dont think for one minute that its all about the gear, and that he is just a technical producer. field recordings feature heavily in his work, and you can often find him patrolling the streets of oslo or berlin hunting for the perfect sound that will convey his ideas within the piece. anders is just as at home creating scores for film as he is producing rhythms for the dance floor, during his time in berlin he created a contemporary soundtrack of the old russian silent-fim classic a man with a movie camera (dziga vertov 1929) which was performed live in berlin, bremen and in bergen. after all this is said and done, the e.p boils down to just one thing - house music for the heads. nothing lightweight, just the heavy goods. long time coming on vinyl, dont miss out on the result of a year of work getting it just right, if you managed to bag the previous #gcw vinyl you know we take absolute pride in our output. a strictly limited pressing. mastered to 180g vinyl by the one & only john dent @ loud mastering.

another city now is the debut ep from ango aka andrew gordon macpherson, the next fresh voice hailing from montreal, canada on the luckyme label. a frequent collaborator with jacques greene, lunice & nycs azealia banks, now is the time for ango to step out alone. over this 6 track narrative - written on the road whilst touring in january 2011 – one hears late 80s pop, early 90s house and contemporary rnb arise in equal measure. every bit the writer as he is the producer, this record is a lyrically polarised selection of girl songs expressing the giddy way up and the painful way back down. but theres something defiantly warm in angos music that serves as a refreshing antidote to 2011s endlessly morose electronic music. where polysynths and hi hats spring above plates of live processed vocals, chopped samples are harmonised upon, punctuated with thumping drums. another city now is a balanced record: upbeat and deep, vintage and yet totally modern, as heart aching as it is uplifting. our tenth record is something special.

pop ambient 2012 begins in an unusually new but nevertheless somehow familiar fashion. mohn with manifesto is the opening act. a manifest of slowness. a slowness that jörg burger and wolfgang voigt have taken up as new mission. mohn is their new ambient-grunge-down-beat project, scheduled to depart on its official musical journey to middle earth early 2012. what follows is equally surprising: the old kompakt swashbuckler superpitcher is taking part for the very first time.
cd version of this album included.

it has been a while since alex showed up with a follow up on credo, but as you know, good things do not only last for a while, they also require some time to be finished and this result is more than worth to wait for! hollywood bullet might remind you on some classic trackss essence and it kicks of impressively however, the real >go< follows after huuuge breaks and now its your turn to free the animals on the dancefloor with this weapon that contains not only plenty of energetic basslinesounds, but also load of colors which could be missed these days on often very monotonous technoproductions. alex is not afraid of bringing colors, and not only shades on credo, and so does heartattack: a really weird and unexpected groove on 120 bpm only, even kind of housy, but the upbuilding rythmic noises bring the track back to where it comes from, and this is nothing else as pure bassic energy. very very big release in our eyes!

so after the elusive triumph of our first release finally came firmly into our grasp, we at sequencias here in new york thought it was time to take things in a parallel direction without retracing our steps. drafting three top names in underground deep house for a label debut is no mean feat, but how do you follow up on a surprise coup like that? we thought it was time to go even deeper, and we couldnt think of a better way of doing that than getting an experienced player to unveil a new alias for our second offering. things being as they are, weare trying to keep it a bit low here, but what we can let you know is that his discography stretches back to 2005 and that he has appeared on the illustrious bunker records. this should give you a good idea of what to expect: deeper-than-deep, dirty, and gritty house that jacks with the best the movement has to offer. we have to say that orpheus firmly delivers here, and we hope you will be as pleased as we are with the three dark and introspective offerings he unveils for his new project here at sequencias.

mathias bradler is a new face on micro.fon but not new to the game. under his full name, he delivers exactely the deep and dark techno sound we are looking for. a strong collection of deep, dubby and bass-driven technojourneys, based on minimalistic soundscapes and dry patterns. in on remix duties we got the infamous pawn shop people, known for their 12inch, recently released on stylerockets ltd. they added percussion and funk to the original and turned it into a essential dj-tool, which guarantees full impact on the floor.
early support by richie hawtin, dvs1, rapha dincsoy & slam

itongo is batongos alias for disco editing, less obscure, more groovy. not much is to be known about batongo, previously an active euro dance producer who released a bunch of hits in the nineties. 10 years ago, after a traumatic experience he escaped in perù and retired from the music business, during this years, on his spare time he made a lot of music, not meant for the public, just for himself. now he is still in perù, not willing to move back to europe but barely broke, he sold us the rights on his entire collection of unreleased recordings with condition of not revealing his real identity. we will unveil a series of eps ranging from obscure deep to psychedelic disco.

next strike by peter grummich on the new berlin-based label innerbird. 2 massive analog bass tracks touched by the hands of love! midnight funk is a hypnotic house journey where you feel analog birds flying through waves of well structured but always funky rythms with a classic garage attitude. watch ya on the other side has a more stepped touch and brings in a huge bassline combined with deep and soulful chords for the moving crowd. again, lots of birds flying here.

fresh from a full tour of the uk, django django are pleased to announce the release of new single ‘default’ through because music. the band have been busy doing great things in the east london bedroom slept in by their drummer, producer and de facto leader david maclean. amongst those great things is stand-out album track ‘default’ and of course their self-titled debut lp which will grace us with its presence on january 30th. vincent neff (singer and guitarist), jimmy dixon (bassist), and synth operator tommy grace make up the quartet, who met at art school in edinburgh. django django’s story looks set to be a long and compelling one going by early response to their debut record. by banging together their thirst for adventure and their exacting high standards, they’ve produced an album that seems to have everything, but on which everything never seems too much.

mowar has reached its 10th release! this release heads into a darker direction with four solid and mental techno movers. searle is a new name to join the mowar ranks, but his sounds are pure, raw with a pinch of dark ambience. the record opens with the title track mind transfer, which brings a raw oldskool 808 feel layered with hypnotic basic channel-like chords and a subtle but most effective acid line. modern love s claro intellecto on remix duty turns the track into a slow moving warehouse monster, throbbing its way to a drugged chicago-esque jacking feel yet retaining the original darkness of mind transfer. on the flipside succubus lives up to its ominous title. this track is a dark hypnotic affair with fierce kickdrums piercing through an obscure sound palette of eerie pads and deep basses. razor sharp modulated noise then invades the whole thing turning the track into a punishing dark workout. finally unauthorized brings a more edgy and experimental sound to the whole, starting of with a dubby bassline and graveyard shift pads, but once the piercing hi-hats kick in, the track shifts to straightforward almost cristian vogel-like mental techno. by the way… searle is a new moniker of mowar frontman franco cangelli.

there is hardly any other track so closely connected to sven väths twelfth ibiza season, like adonis by alex ridha aka boys noize. with his fusion of energy disco with massive percussions and chicago memories, adonis fitted just perfectly to the intensive late summer we had. but theres still more to come, and so cocoon recordings are offering no less than five congenial versions: on the vinyl edition we find, besides the original version, the first remix of stone breaker mark e, dj and producer from birmingham who recently had the honour to do an album on the well-respected us label spectral sound. he skilfully transfers adonis into a hypnotic house opus with a recognisable detroit pinch.

our young label deep circus from berlin (ger) is celebrating its one year birthday. for this special occasion we arranged a small, but smooth compilation for the anniversary which wont leave any musical need of you unsatisfied. it contains six brand-new tracks by artists like sweetncandy, benny grauer and aemkay, who have already successful released on deep circus, plus some new additions such as patrick kunkel & 212fahrenheit, smilla and oldich sic jr. the vinyl edition will be split up into two singles, of which one will also be released as a limited edition on white vinyl. enjoy!

the next various artist release on houseworx lost housetracks vol. 3 welcomes 4 new artists to the houseworx family. siggatunez from germany, anton mayer from russia, freischwimmer from japan and last but not least, rhymos from uk.

from the estrela archives of exactly that period comes the original, which was crafted by portuguese calapez at the time, as well as the newly edited pyjamas remix. calapez builds the theme monkeymonkey on top of a playful piano roll and swinging beats – simple and pure. with a wink the pyjamas remix carries that approach and the minimalist melody on, while adding a nice portion of acid. but the absolute highlight of this release, as already alluded in the incoming quote is definitively the more than cutting edge house remix of sacco vanzetti duo. funk, power, tempo and lightness: its got the ground formula to spin itself into the perpetual hunting grounds of the absolute house purist.

for our third instalment on mars recordings weve decided to go for transparent green vinyl! this has nothing to do with aliens, we wouldnt be that obvious, but its the colour chosen by the artists and we think it looks like another great mars package. musically, well edward oberon & paul t have conjured up 2 awesome tracks. >love is< is absolutely sublime with its warm bass line and delicate sounds to the breakdown, while keeping the drums nice and punchy, a great tune to roll out. >absolute< harks back to the deep sounds of old good looking by the likes of big bud or tayla. ridiculous sub-lo bass and deep strings, this is how mars do things and we feel its another quality 12 inch where the music & the packaging matter.
