no stranger to straight up, tracky techno - the cuts on adam marshall’s third cynosure release are pure evidence of his familiarity with the genre. >searching< on side a is the slick, dj-friendly, jacker - reminiscent of detroits early sound. a relentless, but never tiring, deep analog bass sequence backed with marshalls signature grooves are the recipe here. killer just about sums it up. on the flip, >jamming the unit< is another tracky workout designed for the long-mix, followed by the kick-less basic channel-influenced builder, entitled >champion<. a perfect weapon in any techno set. yes, another timeless, ace of an ep - packed with mix appeal from adam marshall… order now!

lukes anger back with a brand new 10 track lp !! killer tracks feat. full colour sleeve art !! keeping true to his techno sensibilities (or non-sensibilities?), live wrong and prosper is a full- length-album sized collection of lukes finest recent work along with some massive exclusive tracks, including an extra special 2010 vip re-mash of his 2 biggest tracks to date!

yes people, like dillinja once said, its time to get grimey! at the end of september, the man, the myth, the legend, mr terror danjah blesses rwina with the reinforced ep. a storming 3 tracker of top class grime for the connoisseurs, the ep is fully equipped with lazershifting bass-terrorism and high-end sonic manipulation.the lead track,reinforced,switches from sweet but dark r&b vibes to classic acid-esque rave touches, guaranteeing a proper reaction on the floor. peanut punch, a collaboration with regular sparring-partner d.o.k., sprinkles neon highlights over a minimal, bass-led beat, while the ep finishes up with stomp test - 4 to the floor club music designed to kill any dance. rwina & terror danjah - a perfect fit.

backspin, josh loves last baby, is a new techno label, mostly focusing on tribal, funky and hardgroove techno! backspin, as kazoo records, will be releasing tracks from various famous techno producers but also from some new rising stars! if youre looking for some high quality techno tracks with latin, funky or groovy influences, youve found a new treasure.

limited white label release. 100 copies only. ever!! from luxembourg but now living in berlin, marc neyen delivers his first album esmeralda on archipel. this vinyl ep is an extract of two of the most touching tracks of his lp. children s corner is a song where marc shows his acute sense of expressing emotions through his jazz training he received in amsterdam. the song might remind you of villalobos or pronsato, but marc finds his personal interpretation to make this smooth, warm tech house song perfect for any moment where you need introspection in a bright way. i move alone shows marc s ability to guitar playing where he brings techno to whole new world with gentle melodies follows tech house grooves

next up on nang we get tooled up with our disco pick-axe to mine one of the most authentic italo vaults, that of once-forgotten-but-now-hero-again beppe loda. having begun djing in brescia aged 16, loda was resident at gambaras soon to be legendary typhoon club from 1980 until the club closed in the same year as the paradise garage, a year before acid house officially began in 1987.

a very special one-off release from futuristica music.
zig 16 (producer of electric conversation) has produced this beautiful piece of psychedelic/hiphop/electronica that we had to release on a limited 7 inch single only! warm but crunchy beats with depth and a hint of melancholy.

the third release of the new label >lets get lost< which was started by mule musiq and force of natures kza. this third release is by uk producer extrodinaire leo zeros remix of the uks florence & the machine. this leo zero remix was released on only cd single and itunes in 2009. when i received this remix from the agent of leo zero i fell in love with it immediately. it was one of the biggest tracks for me in the last year but was never released on vinyl. leo zero reconstructed the aesthetic alternative rock (like a pumping cocteau twins!?) to very emotional house music. its simply good music and not only for the dance floor. greg wilson has edited it into a semi instrumental version which has never been released on any format. this release is official bootleg for limited press! dont miss it!!

the quality just keeps on coming with this the 19th ep in the volume series. for this release we have something of a nu funk dream team with the creative coming together of two of the scenes biggest players, ali b & nick thayer, what a collaboration! nick is no stranger to the label with a slew of monsters already on the label but this is the first time for air records and kiss fm legend ali b. and the pair do not disappoint.

rusty egan and steve strange brought you the blitz club in 1980, the cradle that not only spawned the musical soundtrack to a generation but also the styles, fashions and very fabric of the 80s. thirty years may seem a long time to wait before launching a record label of the same name but the sound of the blitz is as fresh today as it was all those years ago on a side street off covent garden.

umami who just collaborated with aka aka now join nicone with this late summer dancefloor smasher on side a: i come to you (incl. nicone remix)! umami who claim to make songs not tracks prove this on side b where they not only remixed nicones hanaetano but gave it an additional catchy vocal line. >im down on my knees<! limited to 500 picture sleeves!!

futurist techno that needs some time to listen to, but can also surprise you with sound sensations never heard before, even after playing the track a 100 times.

here are long awaited new single from minilogue! this release is a single cut from the fist mix cd of sebastian mullaert aka minilogue. >minilogue< have released from highly acclaimed label like a cocoon, wagon repair, mule electronic and they became one of the best techno artist in the world.?a side, intermediate state is a minilogues trade mark psychedelic tech house. its simple but effective. b side, tzymbals is a classical ambient house sound. its nice for your bedroom music or beginning of the party

nice price deal !!! for their fifth release todd bodine (highgrade, treibstoff, mothership) joined the cologne based label klangfarbe schallplatten and created a high-quality ep, which is hard to find today. duplexer (a1) initially allocates with bongos in space, to furthermore stabilize itself with more bass, percussion and volume, which leads into a durable, massive flow that s willing to persist bigger club duties as well. alpha (b2) is structurized akin to duplexer, but celebrates the true force, the true might of minimal by the use of consistently repetition of beat- and sound patterns as also psychedelic acid-parts in good, old plastikman tradition. morning breeze on b2 finally starts warmer and more housy, in a deep and easy lean-back manner, to distinctly cool down after a while and to approach the previous tracks. after all, the from nowhere to somewhere ep constitutes an extremely coherent ep, where it s obvious, that all three tracks mate together - as they are

inspired by the stripped back technical set-ups of yesteryear, mike monday and will saul present the sequence 1 ep, the product of the two artists limiting themselves to a roland 909, a korg kaos pad, a dave smith polyevolver and recording their jamming on the fly. >we wanted to inject some excitement, energy and randomness into this release, so decided to play the tracks live with mike on the 909 and keys and will on filters and effects. we had a broad idea of where we were going before we pressed record, and recorded a few takes of each track, then took the best moments from each. the big challenge was reining in the slightly chaotic recordings, but after some tweaking we found a balance between old school rawness and modern production values.<

tahloulas >we play house< in a remix incarnation by chris lattner is at last ready for release after figuring in charts and steadily garnering hype for more than a year. louise marie tüxens charming lyrics are sung on a morphing and modern house beat while a devastating organ-stab pushes the track on endlessly. a classic new york bass-line injects head-nodding and foot-tapping while small vocal snippets and fills create a layered floor-destroyer. a tune that easily could – and nearly did - stand alone, but to the luck of the listeners more is in store for them. emil & chesper, allows us the joy of putting out >the nigerian hustle<. dark and funky with rolling basslines and shadowy percussion, this track is heavily rooted in both berlins minimalism and detroits groovyness.to top off the good fortune is james braun & ubebes >neotony< – a percussion-oriented tech-house track reminiscent of chicago, where banging toms and vintage 808 claps all merge together to form a shining synergy, while blue chords and floating strings engulfs the listener.

gunnar stiller has always been known for producing dance floor >destroyers<, even if >far from okay< sounds a bit like a floor wax accident theres no need for the timid raver soul to get worried about slipping and falling. soft accords sedate the mind, the bass pumps in the adrenaline and a voice softly whispers that everything is going to be just fine…all you need to do is dance. when the janitor loko mops over the uy 038 floor with his remix you can even walk over it on the highest of high heels. it does in fact, get a bit rougher when the lights go out on >some kind of weird< and the smoke machine goes starts pumping. thats when its >black piste< time and thats no place for heidi klum or techno beginners…but who wants to be a model anyway, right?

john daly is delivering one killer chicago influenced house tracks after another. obviously getting inspiration from his favorite larry heard and marshall jefferson songs, turning that into those long smooth john daly tracks with soulful basslines, lush melodies, intense strings and euphoric breakdowns that take things to another level. not tracks for every moment on every dancefloor, but tools for the real house connaisseurs who understand special records for special moments and who treasure them like the crown jewels!

everything from a small room. a few friends joke and start to record something.. something strange, indecipherable, or maybe just their souls. a voice begins to sound diffuse, catchy, distorted, hot. what happened to them on in that room don t know, but it was enough to convince us that this was a true story, unique ,inimitable. hooved was amused to construct a simple, yet many artists have come out of my mind, since the scsi-9: anton e maxim have made a pop song like this phoebe, that seems to be everywhere, but didn t think hitherto.. barrytone, new project of korablove, we delight rolled, cuts batteries and more pressing reason, unlikely to fade in your shelves. echonomist in greece seems to fall after many years in his bedroom, and start playing with the same old things, but with the eyes of this. finally tuccillo helps us find a very specific connotation, destination, disco. vinyl seems to sail on his last tour, but in the digital ve rsion will still expect the memories: l original track of hooved, version reinterpreted version of the cool voice hvoya, and the last train, the remix of dualism. a man and a woman summed up in just under 13 minutes all monsters and insecurities, words and glances, the soul of a gesture that turns into projects, loop, hours, bpm, second. apparel is pleased to present phoebe ep.

there was no doubt that label boss fred everything wanted to get his hands on the remix, taking a similar approach to his recent juno-chart-topping disco remixes of hot toddys down to love for oms sub-label smoke & mirrors. fred ups the tempo a little but instead of going the 4/4 route,he uses a laidback,almost freestyle beat over a crisp production. this is house-not-house at its best!also included is the bonus track from blacklodge called >broken promises< which shapes up as another late night monster.early support from danny krivit, mark farina, tortured soul, nacho marco, franck roger, lovebirds..

another wicked production from spanish mastermind reeko. brilliant sounds so deep, but soo funky. creepy sounds that will seriously affect your brain. another high quality release!

bergerac is the new record label set up by uk producer and dj red rack’em (aka danny berman) to showcase the more dancefloor end of his music productions. danny is well known for his wonky disco outings as hot coins on tirk and also his deep as hell beatdown house on untracked. his style of production and djing have recently taken a slightly more banging angle due to the influence of larger scale festival gigs such as glastonbury, snowbombing and the big chill. so it seemed like the perfect time to start a label focussing on house and techno for the more discerning dancefloor. the label artwork will feature bespoke illustrations from german artist silke eiselt of all the houses danny has lived in chronologically. how much more fucking house can you get than that? how i program is a raw, heads down, whacked out banger, which straddles the wafer thin divide between house and techno with aplomb. with a massive loud donking bass noise, seedy late night atmosphere and danny shouting about how he programs his shit - this is some freaky deaky peak time business. next up is bonn, a warm crackly rhodes driven halcyon house moment, which evokes the slightly majestic and nostalgic vibe of people dancing alone together in a hot room at the end of the night. cheering sourced directly from bonn in 1982 mixes with naive keywork and distant female chants the first bergerac ep closes with it happens to us all, which could be an ode to prematurely greying men, the onset of senility or occasional farting in public places. its definitely a prime slice of wrong house with some seriously french hi hats and dubbed out bassline action though. yes, its more syncopated than an exploding castanet factory but thats how we like that kind of funk

anmade 009 is about to hit ya ll, expect one of the best manmade releases so far! 5 banging tracks with different styles and tempo, but they all have some things in common: they are big, fat, funky and a guarantee to move the party peoples butts.

two tracks taken from the turn the page lp. a side >release< - calming things down a little, >release< continues the tempo with a bouncing bass and booming sub to match as delicate synth stabs and vocal washes trickle over the top to make for a great cut as the lp journey picks up pace. aa side >the sleeper< is anything but with its rollin? bassline and stepping drums that smash any club when dropped. a sure-footed crowd pleaser that shows the guys getting seriously engrossed in some vintage d&b vibes.

the 8th release on flights play:musik label sees another excursion into deep bass and beats by the much loved survival, this time in collaboration with long-time friend chris inperspective under their >living in shadows< guise. the a-side gives you the melancholy but tough and rolling >apple fingers<. flip over to the b to find the quirky sounds of >the phlebass consideration< ? apparently inspired by an iain m. banks novel, its different and we like it. dj support: flight, goldie, storm, alix perez, redeyes, a.i plus many more ...

the heat of summer into an urban canyons night of fresh air. in berlin. or manchester. maybe in budapest even. it is warm, but not that close and hot anymore. a soft wind blows through the leaves and ripples the surface of the small puddles the rain left on the streets. with relaxed enthusiasm a man walks up to his house where he will decant a well-tempered sangiovese while waiting for the woman with whom he will chat till dawn.
with three reworkings of one of their tracks from the full-length album >13<, the trio from manchester conjures such an atmosphere on their vinyl release on binemusic, inviting you to (day-)dream or relaxedly bob across the dancefloor. and maybe even bear the waiting time while stuck in traffic.

finlands 501 made his name writing smashers for labels such as chase & status imprint more than alot, but this plate on black acres dancefloor subsidiary will confound all expectation. >short circuit< marries synthetic pop production with dancefloorsensibilities and adds a dash of pure cheek for good measure. an intro of vibrant chords, talkbox vocals and live electric bass sets up the naughtiest of drops - skipping jazzy beats, switching synth edits and snippets of turntablism, all shoe-horned over an enormous warping bassline.

introducing magic wire recordings….. new label from werkdiscs artist lone (aka matt cutler). with this debut 2 track 10 inch from the man himself we are graced with two slabs of nostalgic neu haus and early 90s hardcore, some what of a departure from the dreamy, hazed out hip hop of his albums >ecstasy & friends< and the now classic >lemurian<. >pineapple crush< hits us with old skool 4/4 808s and heavy rave stabs, all drenched in his own unique melodic style. this is music that will destroy the club but will also soundtrack hazy afternoon parties in the sun. gorgeous but heavy and already being cained by the likes of glasgows luckyme crew, alexander nut, kode 9, trg, gilles peterson, joy orbison and mike paradinas. this is a huge step forward you wont have seen coming!

playmobils ms is the best kept secret on the label. this is a very very well known man running one of the most successful labels in the scene, but wishes to remain unknown for this release.. great release!

4th volume from the get a room re-edit crew. again, trevor jackson is giving his visual touch to the series. more on the 80s electro kind, but with the killer twist that builds from the original to a whole different level. niceness both for the dancefloor and for home listening.
limited to 500 handnumbered copies.

if there is a driving motive at the heart of gavin russoms latest project, the crystal ark, it is to create music that communicates and compels physicality and movement. a listen to the projects first single, aptly named >the city never sleeps<, reveals a track as tireless as the title suggests, and russom as a visionary who crafts invocations to move. with his second release under the crystal ark moniker, russom is just as focused on eliciting movement, but deftly avoids repeating himself. unlike its hypnotic predecessor, which slow burned and subtly seduced listeners to physically respond, >the tangible presence of the miraculous< is explicit in its urgings û a composition of nakedly energetic and urgent inducements to dance.

its not often we end up releasing four singles from an album, but with the tuneful love supreme standout track >waiting for the love< we seem to have achieved it. penned with uk based benjamin james smith, (who also delivers the snappy vocal) the track screamed single right from the start. heading up the remix package are two stomping mixes from synth-wizards, chicken lips. dean and andy keep the catchy vocal but overdrive things in the synth department. their vast armoury of sounds and accomplished arrangement makes this mix one to be really proud of.

>in alto mare< was on of the biggest italian hits of the 80s performed by loredana berte - member of the biggest artists of all time - made in italy know this song. in 2004 >in alto mare< gets revisted and retwisted in a new millennium version produced by 2black feat. wendy lewis, who transformed the song in a bilingual song with funky lyrics and original italian chorus. and once again it was one of the biggest hits in summer 2004 and licensed worldwide in almost all countries. now its time again to revamp the song but this time in a pure jamie lewis & purple music style in collaboration with the visualboys & stefano mattara. the song has just been tested, and believe us its still amazing when you hear the whole club singing the song. italian does it better? yesssss!!!

flanked by new mixes to screw with your head, monosurround - masters of maximalism - are back on vinyl for the second time on ms records. grab onto your heart, your eyes, and your ears and get ready for a new ecstatic experience in september 2010. a diamond in the rough, >all night long< - the original track from the album >hello world< - is a rare treat to have in such a vinyl collection, but a great source of inspiration, as you will see.

everybody loves summer & house music, and of course so do we! these four tracks by our italian and spanish friends have already been hammered on various open air floors by the usual suspects, and especially marco effe s track chesley had people running up into the dj-booth trying to find out what it is. well, today we finally have the answer.
but also romano and luca, who both have made a name for themselves with releases on break new soil as well as various other imprints are showing why they are two of the keyplayers of modern house-music from italy. and last but not least danny serrano & hector coutu deliver a classic groove monster that will bring new boosts of energy to preparties, prime-time sets and after-hour dancefloors as well.

at the young age of just 20 years old, ardalan from the tch dolphin crew in san jose is quickly proving himself to be a leader in the next generation of bay area house music. justin martin quickly recognized his talent when ardalan sent him a 10 minute demo.
after one listen justin thought the track was genius but needed some additional editing and arrangement work. he took on the project and the outcome was >mr. spock<. this dancefloor monster was instantly charted #1 by myself and jesse rose as soon as we heard it. it works. for real.

dmom continues where it stopped with the outstanding release by avex axiom and its remix from dustin zahn: more than solid, floor-shaking techno. this time we head towards some italian connection and we are happy to present a very promising new talent from italy, ralph mirto, who delivers a true masterpiece of minimalized, but powerful techno with his >path<. also >deaths head< hits it perfectly and the remixer for >path<, sasha carassi, needs no more introduction meanwhile. releasing on world famous labels like 8 sided dice, harthouse or weave shows where he plays: on top! what a remix, you will love it!

not many single releases can be labelled as events, especially not in the ever homogenised techno world, but the first single from model 500 in eleven years, and the first recorded by the new band line up is most definitely an event.
its only fitting that this single is released on r&s records, whose relationship with the man widely acknowledged as the originator of detroit techno goes back 17 years and who released the last model 500 album back in 1999.

in fact, its not even supposed to have a release sheet like this one. but sometimes, you-re even too modest to stay away. so, whats it all about? well, the music, of course. and only the music. organic stuff, so to speak. tracks made by pure immersion. no plans, no blueprints. just going with the flow, unleashing the inner krautrock while staying true to the basics of techno. here is gabriels new 4-tracker. inhale.

repress!! ambivalence is a funny thing. the simultaneous existence of two opposed and conflicting attitudes can cause much confusion and unease. fortunately, it has served to do nothing but help kevin mchugh in his quest to achieve impeccable music productions and attract a global audience eager to hear his unique take on confounding dance floor tracks

another killer truth is light! in the label s catalogue... tow pretty out there but marvelous tracks - once again poleis on mastering duties. only 300 copies worldwide!

hi-quality minimal dub/ambient techno by skyscaper & ekelon. comes on the likeable ghost sounds label (that always seem to be pressing less as what the demand is unfortunately... hence the zero stock on back catalogue). but lush long tracks with a foggy ambient piece on side a, and a more bright rhythmic dubby piece on the flip with beautiful strings and lush melodies. sweeet!

mark du mosch delivers a classic ep with four very different, but ultimately essential tracks. titletrack >bareknuckle< has _anthem_ written all over it. warm, but pumping techno with a hint of disco and a hook that is simply killing. with the raw, dark technoelectro sound of >monolulu< and >mice vs cat< mark du mosch dives into dusty, pounding cellar soundsystems. >machine lives< takes it in true sd style to an unexpected experimental level with not to miss.

big with: raresh, joris voorn, sebo k, monika kruse, sis, dj t, agnès, brothers vibe, butch, gorge, luke slater, danny tenaglia, anthony collins, einelkind, julietta, ekkohaus ,.. after a short break of redefinition puzzle traxx gets back on stage and welcomes a new artist to the family. italians are well-known for being experts in pizza, pasta, amore and - thanx to artist like mirco violi - some impressing dance electronica. after well received releases on labels such as be chosen, all inn limited, bloop, off, hypercolour and adult only, the young rising star is giving his debut on puzzle traxx. -enchanté-, a bassheavy driving house track with weird infatuating vocals, is probably his most outstanding work to date and has already caused waves among chosen tastemakers worldwide. -pamplona- is not less unique, bringing some crazy sax and flutes on the floors. but not enough of the dancefloor madness, as the package gets crowned by a dirty as hell remix from amsterdam s house hero je dàvu aka melon, who received heavy support of the worldwide dj elite lately for his raw meat tracks like -i zebra- on platzhirsch, -music got you movin- or more housy melon reworks for artists like sascha dive or the rebirth label. + excl. bonus download against code hidden on vinyl!

the krays might or might not ring a bell, but that is a new guise of yuksek & brodinski. french electro dons doing the disco-tech... or something. this is the one for the clubs y all!

o.ton is still growing up! we have finally managed to get two hottest french producers, mik izif and funny ox, for this new and exclusive release on o.ton records. >run< is simply made to drive a dancefloor mad, with its lfo bassline and these steady climatic harmony loops behind. the flipside belongs to funny ox: a great and groovy remix of >run< with all it needs to keep a crowd pleased and aware. o.ton 04 is the perfect minimal techno record! but what else would you expect ... enjoy!

bosco delrey is at once a thick combination of influences and a totally unique voice in current music. diplo describes him as >a sort of garbage can elvis from new jersey... teaspoon craziness, a pinch of rockabilly, and full cup of soul dressed in a leather jacket. he cant be topped as far as song writing... hes doin the music i wish i could if i had bought a guitar<, the fader called his song >round n round hillbillyhall, and boscos own myspace says >jerry lee lewis carol king of pop<. but whatever you call him, bosco delrey is making music that is instantly accessible, totally cool, and unlike anything else on our wide-sweeping mad decent radar.

freska belongs to the new generation of artist not bound to follow one genre. his releases therefore differ enormously. he states in his biography that he was influenced by music from black sabbath to kraftwerk, but this just implies the range of music and is not really to be grasped.
