monsieur guillaume berroyer — the infamous ark — recently underwent a sort of sea change in both his artistic and personal life. anyone following his career with even a passing interest knows of his long resume (collabs with pepe bradock and cabanne, dolibox, mika weill, releases on brif, karat, circus company, perlon…) and has heard tales of the studio fire and the creative energy shift and all of the stories associated with his frenzied live performances and dj gigs. great stories are fun and build mystique, but as most heads know the music more than measures up to the legend. his recent >arkpocalypse now< full-length showed a matured craftsman that is not so much waxing introspective as he is distilling his signature sound into something manageable enough to truly adapt to all of his musical tastes.

the devils hands have been busy! blackdisco presents an evil batch of house obscurities sliced, diced and dosed with a secret potion from the haunted house of justin vandervolgen (tbd, golf channel, dfa). this is an especially sinister release, just in time to work the hell out of your dancefloor at this years halloween party. but dont be frightened, the madness contained within will surely outlast any single night of terror. this is a definite must for those not faint of heart. no repress, my dear children, no repress

as anyone will know, dub police is one of the dubstep scenes leading labels, having helped launch the careers of artists like caspa and rusko into the dance music stratosphere. the labels ethos has always been about giving the next generation a step up and the next wave of superstar producers has arrived as the dub police war machine continue to roll ever onward towards world domination. trolley snatcha is the latest artist to receive the dub police stamp of approval with his diverse four-tracker the >one trick pony< ep. proving that he is anything but, trolley turns out a selection of tunes that display a mature and open-minded approach to dubstep. from the ear-battering trolley trademarks that litter >pass me by< and >roccos revenge< to the smoothed out bliss of >always on my mind< and the light techno touches of >we go deep<, this ep will grab the attention of anyone with a keen ear for quality music.
dj support: caspa, rusko, skream, the others and benga.

this is first collaboration track of marcus from minilogue and his friend kab.marcus from minilogue have been played a lot of kab stuff at his dj set and sometimes they play by back 2 back. their back 2 back set at labyrinth festival in japan was unforgettable. local report on a side is very hypnotic and groovy tech house with spoken words.this is a kind of peak time stuff.on the other side, shade of grey is very dark, psychedelic but very modern touch.its for the fan of villalobos to mathew jonson.

new yorks elon provides metroline with yet another very fine release. clap back is a real gem. the original mix has a beautiful spacious and airy mix that allows the echo-soaked toms and the swirling vox stabs to breathe, and they really draw you in. an insistent bass pulse provides a structure for the snappy post-garage percussion to build into a lurching, lunging rhythm. very original, and very infectious. ekkohaus remix is a focused, driving deep house groove, shaped around lush, rounded stabs and heavily-filtered synths. claps and snare emerge from the beautifully balanced mix to give the track a real disco kick. the third track on the ep zero gravity has a more back-to-basics feel. the bassline is dubby, but the percussion has a classic french touch feel that gives the track real movement. a rhodes-like synth line wraps itself round the track like a warm fuzzy blanket. maximum comfort for house heads.

dixie yure is the incarnation of contemporary oldschool house music from seville. after some digital only releases it is about time for some haptic experience. with the 10“ record „show me satisfaction“ on berlin-based label fenou his sound is rotating on turntables for the first time. monotonous minimalism ain’t dixie yures world. the sound tends more towards 2step and builds a homogeneous and pleasant mixture with classical house elements and vocal parts. you just cant deny yourself dancing the >chicken dance< and stepping like hell! thanks to the funky improvisations extending over the whole track you wont get bored even after listening to >show me< for the hundredth time. the a-side is just fun - in the club as well as on your couch. you wont miss the low-pitched vocals on the b-side either as they are typical for the spanish producer. >satisfaction< is a little more reduced than >show me< but is enhanced with jazz elements such as pianos and saxophones. it shows that wind instruments in electronic music dont have to be annoying tribal elements. in this example acoustic instruments do not just get mixed up with house music but merge to one groove – absolutely rocking tune!

after several releases on mathematics as contra communem opinionem, cco presents his latest release on the promising new label lux rec. with his impressive ep the secret life of a transistor bassline cco proves us once again his ability to space out and rock hard at the same time. what more do you need? this journey starts off in the sewers of a miserable city on the western hemisphere and takes us higher until we freely float in space. as we move at the speed of light but with no perception of time, we eventually land on planet venus. this is where jack inserts his pleasure plug into the acid machine and sets off a dirty romp. in our quest for the secrets of life, we thereafter push boundaries further and explore even far away galaxies. always bearing in mind the infinity of time and space.

the first edition of the unirhythm green series. two brand new, smooth as ice tracks from the motor city madman marcellus pittman. the a-side is >tom remix<, a dynamic dj tool that will keep the heads bouncing in the club. the b-side, >if the earth could talk<, is equal parts deep and dubby, but still has that lo-fi detroit grit in the sound. this is a record that will stick around in many djs crates for a long time. this record is the first of a series of collaborations between unirhythm and fit.

the 2nd sampler opens with >mym 230 (rip)<, a track taken from his planet e debut release from 1998. it also features one of his biggest tracks to date, >cant take it< which was the debut recording of soul vocalist dwele. >antares< and >crosswtown< are two tracks take from the artists personal vault. tracks which were recorded back in the day, but remained unreleased ... until now! with this compilation we celebrate reclooses early works from the late 90s, early 00s. this material is often regarded as his best. the compilation includes his best music from that period, both released and unreleased.

big with locodice, raresh, brendon moeller, jozif goodwin, matthew styles.... uber talented duo skudge provide the remix on this, fofs 20th release. you may know skudge from their recent bombs >covolution< and >melodrama< on their own self titled label. this offering is a little different, being more of a stripped down, slightly minimally trippy peak time ride but no less powerful for it,

after having released >salson< on our 10 years raum compilation already, damian schwartz returns with his first solo single on our label. >pedro< which is also the title of this record is a deep techno track that is based on a hypnotic piano sequence. >badabambu< is more house orientated and like for >salson< damian gets support from guti who has played the synths for this tune. last but not least this release also features a remix of >pedro< by none other than daniel stefanik which is adding some more peak time flavour while still staying close to the original. enjoy !

once again another masterpiece from the dynamic reflection squad in your face! this time its from the uk monster voidloss. the title track acteon is already an oldy and paul felt in love with it a long time ago. it was already digital released in 2007, but we asked voidloss if he wanted to see this on pure gold as well... and of course he wanted that! so why dont we put up an whole ep with more dancefloor killers of this man? grovskopa is always capable of delivering good remixes and so he did. this time something a little bit different then what you expect, but with this track he shows us what an open mind he has on techno. rolling crunchy basslines and smooth pads bring this track in a perfect vibe to set the tone for the night. moment of total emptiness is a more deeper and hypnotic tune, but will definitely bang your head on the dancefloor. mr. a. paul is going for the rework and came up with a really great uplifting and oldschool touch. perfect tool to use in your dj sets! all n all a superior release by this uk studio wizard. lets pray for more of this pure quality stuff and keep our eyes on the the future. the scene need more labels like this which reflects the current techno movement and promises loads more of that sweet stuff in days to come.. dynamic reflection will represent only the true spirit of pure techno, they will put only the quality stuff back on the dancefloor!

numan khan from manchester is a new artist for planet mu with an original musical style that mixes dubstep and grime influences with an idiosyncratic take on rhythm to great effect.
this four track ep showcases his styles from the a side with the lush melodic accordian and snes melodies of >race against time<, to the slower, disco influenced >photograph<.
the b side starts with >voodoo<, which combines grimey bass and strings with offbeat drums to odd, driving effect and finishes with >xx< which sounds like a long lost golden era 8-bit grime instrumental but with deft production tweaks and fx that keep it interesting and effective.

after a lengthy break from the electronic music world, genotype is back with an lp for exit records and provides a lesson in stripped back dub influenced music at approximately 170 bpm. having started his music career in the mid nineties under the legendary alias just jungle, with releases on the massively influential labels of that era such as trouble on vinyl, renegade hardware and reinforced records, its no surprise that he has managed to capture the essence of rawness in his recent music akin to the early years of jungle. many producers have tried and failed to bring back the old skool sound with an original flavor but genotype has managed this by resisting the temptation to lash in the tired old classic breaks and instead has drawn for the more organic sounding percussion and drum kits. the dubbed out theme runs throughout the album paying homage to his love for west indian music which he has been involved in for many years and naturally influences the music he creates. genotype is a man of few words and prefers to let his music do the talking so check out the album and draw your own conclusions.

nice price deal !!! prinzhorn dance school announce their return with new single – >seed, crop, harvest.< we havent heard a thing from tobin prinz and suzi horn for three years (their debut lp was released on dfa back in 2007) but theyve been far from work-shy. they toured extensively, then came home and built their own bespoke recording studio (the red shed) – and learned how to use it. time consuming endeavors which saw them drop off the music radar. which might just explain the title of the equally charged b-side >off the radar, off the system<. in their own words: >weve been busy. just not busy making records. you have to live too. you can only write so many songs about motorway service stations and airports<. they recorded and mixed both songs themselves in the red shed, with bob weston taking on mastering duties. …prinzhorn dance school are back! and dfa could not be more proud

the distinct trademark of a bara broest beat is the soft but deep kick, the rolling house-groove just around 124 bpm combined with very heavy dub-bass-lines.

played by jesse rose, mandy, karotte, lexy, seth troxler, sascha funke, ivan smagghe, dubfire... the producer and dj oliver koletzki and singer fran are still firmly riding on the fast track to glorious pop music. after the first single >arrow and bow< of their new album >lovestoned< they now release >echoes<, both as a maxi single with four different remixes and a vinyl edition that includes three of the remixes. but lets start with the original, which is easily one of the strongest and most powerful songs of the album. it is here where koletzkis background as a producer of house and techno meets with frans ability to create divine lyrics and perform them with her unmistakable voice.

goodvibe records project is an effort to expand the boundaries of hugo, and his favourite producers music, beyond standard nightclub beats. after the bright side, its time to reveal hugos dark side for the second release of his new imprint goodvibe records. hugo takes the listener down the darker alleys of his production and demonstrates to himself that 4/4 beats are made of many different feelings. we are all strongly attracted by the dark side of life, of humor, of music. it doesn’t make us bad persons, but in fact make us as comfortable with ourself as we could possibly be. it lightens the seriousness of subjects dubbed taboo. lets go on the dark side!

our dutch counterpart onno is known for his dance floor mastery. his after school ep on upon you was a multifunctionalmover that could teach any lethargic raver a few aerobic moves. >hit me< is in the same league and is completely unsuitable for yoga and pilates, so hes succesfully targeted the blonde dance instructor once again. onno brings the a1 fatburner to a peak with his charming impertinence. thomas schuhmachers pimped version of this awesome rave stepper on b1 tugs and pulls at your pants dragging you kicking and screaming to the dance parquet, where you soon realize that you never want to leave, but for those of you that want to lose some weight also know that you always need to condition yourself and >ghetto talk< on b2 is the perfect bouncy tune for that hour or so on the treadmill.

las wax returns with a tight two-tracker of deep techno-house couresy of japans takayuki higo. this is definitely a departure from the typical wax sound, but this record still works nicely. a-side >big head house< has a dope minimal detroit feel to it and fits nicely with some of the recent techy output on wave. flip for >wicked tokyo< which is a blissfuldeep tech excursion for the late night sets. if you like francois ks techno side and jeff mills going deep, you will dig this newie.

the kat edit stable pops back up and throws a couple of biggies into the pot ... first up is conscious of my conscience, which shouldnt really need an intro whatsoever. an out and out all ends up classic and a track largely overlooked by the masses when first released on the album conscience back in 88. mr beedle makes this sound bigger than ever with some wicked but subtle extensions & tweaks along the way. on the flip we have time is running out. ashley beedle takes the stevie winwood original, strips it bollock naked and re-dresses this into a wonderful psyched-out disco funk soul rock odyssey masterpiece. over 10 minutes of pure balearic dancefloor goodness, pure n simple. big ! oh, and on a super loud 12 inch pressing..

the first and most important of the four food groups is flapjacks. a great example of this is in bryan jones flapjackin jam low flow. the beats are as thick with butter milk and the bass is fluffy and melts in your ears. the second food group and a perfect complement to the first is syrup. czech republics arco gives us a sugery delight entitled first time, which can be poured or spread over just about everything from toast and flapjacks to spaghetti noodles. this tune has a nice and deep brown maple sound that like syrupy goodness, sweetens up every mix. the third basic food group is eggs, everyones favorite baby animal embryo treat. melbourne, australias house mopper d-t3ch, plucked the perfect egg from his prized chicken with his spoken word groove give & take. in this smooth bumpin scenario, the chicken gives the egg, and d-t3ch takes it and whips it up into a wonder house omelet. the last but certainly not the least of the 4 basic food groups is the bacon. bacon just makes everything better. oregons forrest avery & derty d definitely take the bacon with their super fried, crispy, salty smash hit the perfect beat. this tune does to a club what bacon does to your heart…it clogs dance floors

you just wouldnt write a weird piano melody, put it through all your distortion pedals then write an epic post-disco jam around it. basically that doesnt work… or at least shouldnt… but das moth (aka: tokyo-dwelling dj, producer and punk bassist tim sullivan) has provided us with proof to the contrary in his debut 12 inch release featuring >moon< and the aptly titled >wrong<. yes it works, and its genius. we wont do any more head-scratching on how to describe this release, except to say that the vinyl is an absolute must-have, also featuring proto-house workout from heavyweights kink & neville watson.

numbers follow up the instant sell out that was redinhos bare blips with this red hot collaboration between two of the most exciting producers around just now - roska and untold. collaborations of this sort have a tendency to be a little bit underwhelming but on myth and long range the two producers have dug deep to come up with a perfect marriage of each others styles. this is house music as it should be - fresh, exciting, raw and banging. untolds grimey sub fit perfectly with roskas syncopated drums and the wailing horns on myth are gonna be stuck in your brain for days. one of the most exciting records around at the moment, dont sleep on it.

mataduo is a project created by two young italian guys, francesco resta and alessandro sensini. they live in bologna and they are resident djs in two different but very important club in the city as cassero and kindergarten. they started this project (mataduo) about 2 years ago with the intent to create a tech-house sound out of the trends of the moment and characterized by a strong bass and percussions suitable for different kind of dancefloor.

virgil enzinger - shadow of the mind ep on gynoid audio is a release of balance.on either side you have absolute gems that either tick the >big, crisp< production boxes and/or the >gritty, funky< boxes. no matter what the occasion calls for, what a tool to have. to be in the shadow of virgil enzingers mind, from a production standpoint, is nothing to be ashamed of but these 3 remixes (to accompany the original) all step out of the shadows to share the limelight with virgil equally. balance!
