a track is a track, is a track is a track. but not every track is just a track. trackletons stands for much more than just tracks. on his debut ep you wont get to hear the substandard generic ordinary music that can be found everywhere. he has it all. disco, house, minimal, techno, you name it, he brings it. welcoming our latest act >trackleton< with his first appearance in form of his >jump ep< adds a variety of deep styles to this 3-tracker like we have not heard it a long while. the a side is a detroit influenced dance-floor sweeper with melodies so deep and beats so sharp that will leave no escape from making heads turning and get your feet dancing. b1 plays it cool all around the bass-line, laying things down in a old-school sounding manner - minimal to the bone, but done so cleverly to ensure that the basics simply sit right and will get you moving. the b-2 track then surprises you with more than just a hint of disco that will be standing out from the norm and creates a nice diversity. one does not often hear music so warm, on point, deep and yet fully dance-floor oriented

part 1 of the new double-release from tiefschwarz aims at the heart of house music: soul. “on&on” is a first-class arranged club track. starting off with a wonderful mellow theme, that is adumbrated by the bass line in an one-and-a-half minute long exposition. the track ups the tempo with an additional hi-hat resolving into a shuffle beat. in double time, we move on towards the first break. here an edgy, minor key-chord sequence is introduced, making it obvious for everyone, that this track is gonna take off. eventually the keys function as a counterpoint to the classic bass line. a four-to-the-floor “on&on” vocal sample takes over after the break, adding another percussive aspect. as the track goes on a mulitiplicity of side elements sets in - no room for tediousness! in the end the “on&on” vocals resolve into “it’s so simple… . who knows, but this could be a broad hint to all the tech-house academics out there. no matter what, this grande finale raises a smile from every last sweaty soul on the dancefloor. with “best inn” on the b-side tiefschwarz create a dance classic, dressed in 2009 fashion. reminiscent of long gone nu-groove times, a traditional house beat - including a tiny off-beat tinker bell - blasts out of the speakers. a slured synth-organ provides the track with that certain edgyness. here, the brothers keep it laid-back yet exciting at the same time. this piece goes on and on and on - and you yourself run alongside, not wanting to pause. but watch out! at the latest in the second break, tiefschwarz put nostalgia to the test via some shockingly muffled metal drums. one of these moments, where you wish yourself back into the middle of an eight-hour deep-house set in 1992. the train departs. one thrillingly beautiful landscape after another runs by, until the warm sun strokes of the south suddenly rouse you out of slumber. arrived

because of the keen idea to have at least 3 good releases within the first 10 records, it was clear that nobody else but phillip lauer would be able to sort this out on brontosaurus 10. so after #1 & #5 here is # 10 from the man. set your clock! its kinda metric. with 10 releases on his back the brontosaurus is no greenhorn anymore. we found out a few things: 1) we will never know if good music does not sell. >2) printing your own covers is an honourable thing to do but it is a lot of work! > 3) its still fun in the end so lets stick around for the next 10 releases and check this commanding 3 tracker.

benoit franquet opens his catalogue with a beautiful but moody composition of progressive melodic layers. the way is enriched in distilled clarity, which flows effortlessly through stimulating arpeggios and cinematic envelopes, which despite their tranquil breathing and filtering, are aimed at the heart of the dance floor. pole folder?s continuous tight programmed drums both flutter and drive under sprinkles of inspiring atmospheres from start to finish!

pure analogue italo-esque vocoder tackle from berlin that really hits the spot. pretty face is midtempo and slightly menacing and happy birthday shifts the tempo up a bit and treats the vocals to the other end of the vocoder spectrum. they are totally separate but sequenced so you can let the side run thru (a trick we pinched from disconet and hot tracks) or take your pick

time to look busy again, as function aka dave sumner comes rampaging through the streets of downtown berlin, kicking aside lesser producers and mauling all who stand in his way. not that you would know it from the supremely controlled affair that is his edit of >variance<. moody in the extreme, this edit sees beautiful interplay between delays and reverbs but without the track sinking into the predictable mire of dub techno. space is indeed the place..

after several months of hard video- and filmwork, and several awards, french-vietnamese cutie tk.kim aka. pop-3 will finally release some new tracks, on vinyl and online, and by the way, she promised to release more stuff in 2009! so, the new release, chicks and cuts, with 8 tracks online and a 4-track vinyl 12, is definitely dancy, clubby and loud. definitely in the tradition of pop-3s former releases, that never perfectly fitted a precise music category and prove that tk.kim still refuses to be house, tec or minimal. shes all of them or none of them. and what does chicks and cuts sound like, then? boomy squeaking analog sequences combined with delicious samples of her sweet voice will delight the dancefloor, lo-fi audio splinters coming out of old analog drummachines play something like very reduced melodies, and well shaped bassdrums and deep synths will delight your tummies. the very minimal lyrics are in french, as usual. and, goodie: sonja moonear and akiko kiyama contribute with amazing remixes to this fine girls-only oeuvre, rhythmical and minimal but still very harmonious the one by akiko, deep and mysterious the one by sonja. and by the way, the cover is really sweet, people say.

the right side up ep is the first solo record release from frankie j since his departure from the famed sound republic duo that spatula city records knows so well. what you can expect is all the flavorings of the style you know so well but will leave your breath with long lasting freshness. on the a side we have shuck n jive, which is a super bouncy throwback to the classic ghetto house sound that keep asses in the air and feet working. the flip side burns with a tasty new school jacker called phat soul kicks.

played by: ricardo villalobos, steve bug & matthias tanzmann minimono delights us once again with two new refreshing tracks. >stay away< is a typical minimono track, with playful cartoon-like sounds, the aesthetics of minimal and a housy groove. sounds like fun, huh? in contrast >el guapo< could be interpreted as deephouse, but the snappy beats keep your feet moving while the chord-like sounds make you want to close your eyes and just drift away.

>was originally called <319 acid<, similar to 516 acid , but it was called 319 as i started this on march 19th 2007. after playing around with ideas, and effects, i had created a panning motion in the track which when listened to in headphones travels in a >counter clock< wise fashion. i was listening to a set of (dj) dixon and noticed how slow and groovy most of the set was, which influenced me to make a twisted, intense track that was in the same tempo range.< josh wink ! chirs liebing comes on board for the remix and keeps a lot of the key elements, but delivers a more in your face version

united by a simple question as what is electro?, the two young english producers of joe and will ask? have spent the last two years creating dirty, cutting edge productions and taking over the london club scene. with an eye firmly on the dance floor, but also with effortless musicality not normally associated with techno, theyve won over fans from the band / indie scene, as well as diehard clubbers. they inject tonality and musical flow into everything they touch, all under the banner of techno or electro or whatever you would like to call it, and have been compared to justice, soulwax, dim and popof. after several eps, acclaimed by the likes of brodinski kris menace, vicarious bliss, casper c and autokratz to name a few, here comes their first release on kitsuné. claymore, delivers a tensed and breathtaking swoop with obsessive rhythms, while take me away with its strong rock energy and vocal hook, will set all the dancefloors on fire

already supported and played by djulz, mathias kaden, brothers vibe, tadeo, falko brocksieper... rosario is back to esperanza with our beloved franco cinelli. evolving on every single release, franco makes a strong comeback after his warehouse ep. the a side >green & blue<, that also names the ep, shows us his style in full effect with grooooovy percussive hints, analog touches, old school flavour and lot of sunrays. on the flipside, damian schwartz reworks the track turning it into a trippy detroit house affair perfect for every real >party lover< (yeah, for the ones who stay until late). >blue before sunrise< is the track for late night, sunset, sunrise, afterparty, warmup, etc. versatile, isnt it? but such a beautiful relaxed atmospheric song should be part of any classy session. enjoy the beats! its limited to vinyl and just 500 copies!.

1 of the godfathers of uk garage matt jam lamont steps up for danny fourfours uunique vybez imprint. 4 different takes on the shades of house, linked together by quality beats and vocal, this is the original garage sound, with a special matt jam twist. call it urban house if you will, but this is just plain old fashioned party music- welcome back matt jam lamont

the next installment from the new beyond imprint is with us, featuring two newcomers from the thriving us underground, kapuchon & benny rodriques. the pair bring a magical detroit infused collection of warm, urgent and modern house music into our peripheral vision where its simply hard to ignore … like a well loved vintage drum machine tweaked to perfection, or a dusty old synth rejuvinated, >and again< draws inspiration from the rich synthesised landscapes of classic detroit techno, however adds a totally fresh and modern aesthetic, through its use of precise drum fills and beatifully crafted harmonies. on a more thoughful, soulful tip, >unexpected< unravells itself with smooth chord atmospheres, driving, solid-state percussion and teasing delay fx. the story might be a familar one to those who have their ears firmly pressed to the dancefloor, but for good reason, as these two fine storytellers have crafted a golden moment for the late, late hours. the acidic ride of >potato tomato<, with its pushing sub bass and glistening crescendos is perhaps the toughest cut of the e.p, and delivers the energy where its needed whilst still holding onto that classic, deep-as-dawn chicagotodetroit vibe.

stone cold classic funky disco floor filler thats stood the test of time. first time ever on 12inch!!! taken from the hard to find self titled lp by tommy stewart, bump & hustle music is the definitive disco funk party anthem. it was recorded in 1976 in atlanta, georgia, and since then the lp has found itself in the play boxes of soul, funk and jazz djs alike. however, its not until now that this amazing song has finally made it onto the preferred format of dance djs the world over – the 45rpm 12inch single. in 1976 tommy stewart was a busy man, working as an arranger, producer, performer and writer for a host of soul and rnb artists. the lp made for abraxas records was the first to go directly under his name, and although it failed to take off locally, the lp soon became known by djs across the world primarily for the club smash bump & hustle music. as it happens that song in particular almost didnt exist but for tommy needing to come up with something quick in order to fill in a gap in the album. conceived and recorded on the spur of the moment, and with backing vocals by isaac hayes singers hot buttered soul overdubbed later, its a superb example of rhythmic simplicity blended with soulful, catchy harmonies. its just impossible to listen to bump & hustle music without a broad smile coming to your face, and when played loud in a club, its impossible not to dance!

jovonn is back and gracing the wax at coco soul with a slammin two tracker of the deepest techno laden nyc house music. the a-side with torched is rooted in that unmistakable new york afro groove while layers and layers of strings build up to support a classic jovonn keyboard grind. bangin snares and a heavy syncopation make torched ready for the floors from detroit to berlin & back. cliffhanger on the flip comes in straight and keeps building all the way through. this ones remains in the murky depths of a new york city basement while holding you over that edge but never letting

with his new maxi on cocoon, guy gerber, our man for the big emotional moments on the dancefloor, will make our eyes shine bright in christmas anticipation. after releases for his own label supplement facts, the club hits >sea of sand<, >belly dancing< and not to forget, his album debut >late bloomers<, the tel-aviv-based gerber could be found rightly in top positions in many newcomer listings in the past year. 2008 was a little more calm for him, but with >timing<, being just in time for the final, he again sets new standards in linking harmony with a hedonistic state of emergency. while >timing< pleases us like a nocturnal-hypnotic romance in between a disco bassline, >age of love< flair and winterly sleigh bells, >guilty pleasures< takes back this playful love of details to the benefit of a tropical-dense percussive dub, however without appearing less mandatory on the dancefloor. consequently, gerber will be playing together with sven väth at christmas eve in the cocoonclub frankfurt

another unreleased gem from the nyc genius that is mattias heilbronn have proved some of the highlights of 2008. dare we say it that this is his strongest yet as he gets all deep and dubby with alanis morisettes underneath with a truly fantastic re invention of the track. flip it for more of the song, but this is the art of remixing, tune in for a brilliant remake

wandering the mojuba sublabel welcomes a new project named tyche for its 2nd journey. like the first jc freaks record these two tracks on two paths sound fresh but classic once again! overall both tunes have a very hypnotic feel, which is capable of making your body move, although the approach of the tracks are diametral … but you better take a listen on your own

third single from the imps (aka minilogue & decoy) remix album. move ds remix is a boogie deep house track. he raised the bpm a little bit and made a dj friendly version. thomas fehlmans remix is more a re edit thing – definitely the right way, psychedelic and deep as always.

after the first release (raute004) hymne der aufgehenden sonne, which had already massive feedback, we can now present the new release which has a wide spectrum of electronic music the original mix is more commercial for the clubs, the morgenroethe rautenkranzz mix is very minimalistic. simply a perfect vinyl for the underground clubs but also the main halls

there is no doubt that leipzig is a pulsating place in terms of electronic music. however, the potential of the city seems to be experiencing a new surge - not least due to up-and-coming producers like sven tasnadi and stefan schultz aka juno6. both belong to the generation of musicians who initially released their tracks for free on net-labels but have since have made the leap to vinyl. while sven tasnadi has already released great eps on liebe*detail, smallville records and of course on cargo edition, juno6 just recently made his debut with >salamis< in spring 2008 on broque. now they have joined forces with their first collaboration for cargo edition. both tracks on the ep are characterised by elaborate rhythms, a special deepness and intricately arranged sounds. >aramis< tells apparently different stories which merge seamlessly during its 14 minutes. the track also explores the hypnotic moments on the dancefloor in a very subtle and complex manner - reduced but full of vibrancy at the same time. >genau so< on the b-side takes a similar line, but adds a spark of funk, which combines to form its distinctive rhythm. sven tasnadi & juno6 have created two modern house tracks which are full of character.

highly limited. very nice indeed electro minimal but with a warm touch that makes this release standout among other release in the same vein. first on a new promissing label from france...

rezkars fascination with music began with his parents record collection. listening to local radio stations as a child, he heard 80s tracks. as an adult he discovered the magic of 60s and 70s jazz and funk. one day, his cousin played a track that he immediately fell in love with. he later learned that this was house music. he discovered the fruity loops sequencer software and thought, why not try to make my own tracks, after all, it cant really be that hard? deep house can sound deceptively simple. its a bit like japanese anime, rezkar says. it looks so cute and easy to draw, but try to actually draw it, and you will discover its even harder than realistic drawings. the thing about house is that if you try too hard it can come across as being very cheesy, but then again, if you dont do enough it can sound incomplete. finding the balance is not easy, rezkar admits. after hearing his music, one finds that he is learning this lesson quite well.

big support from: gregor tresher, loco dice, sebo k, nick curly, 2000andone, mirko loco and agnes.... tsuba starts 2009 with a bang with the first 12inch release on the label from rising star okain. having debuted on tsuba in july 2008 on the digital only >tsuba samurai ep<, sam okain steps up with his first full release for the label and its a big one. the original of >717< is deep tech house with a killer groove and a warm tripped out riff - a great combination of light and dark touches which results in an edgy but very accessible track. for the remix djulz ups the tempo and adds a splash of techno, spine tingling keys and jacking bassline. loco dice featured the mix on his recent radio 1 essential mix. the deep house of >slow ride< completes an ep of the highest quality. + huge djulz remix.

support by loco dice, marco carola, raresh, onur Özer, federico molinari, fabrizio maurizi, luna city express, reboot, mathias kaden, afrilounge, seuil…. martin swanstein aka martinez is remaining true to moon harbour. after his first fantastic ep >momomowha<, the high-flying producer, dj and labelhead comes along with two brilliant new tracks for the label. and once again martinez succeeds in capturing intense moments and expanding on them, but without losing impact. in >le circus< martinez arranges different vocal samples into a rhythmic collage which build into the backbone of funk in the track. its precise and growing breakdowns will undoubtedly provide euphoria on the dancefloor. >mundial< has a percussive and intricate start but quickly evolves into an easygoing and elegant house track, which creates its incredible deepness by focusing only on the essential. >mundial< is the kind of track which would signal early in the evening that the people in the club had most definitely come to the right place. 2009 the new moon harbour compilation >moon harbour inhouse vol.3< will be released, in which martinez will provide an exclusive track as well the dj-mix.

big with nick curly, jimpster, pablo bolivar, alexi delano, demon days, davide squillace, agnès, audiofly,. andi numan, another newcomer of new zealand origin, presents his ingenious take on house, fusing traditional acid and contemporary styles with ease. we are excited. this one goes out to everybody feeling tired with deep house, abandoned or stuck with techno, but still looking for the one beat, that rules them all. andi numan studied various instruments like piano from a young age of three years. in the early ninties he got sucked into the young electronic music scene, fell in love with analogue gear and started dj-ing at open air events and abandoned warehouses.

on some things you can always rely on - ruede hagelstein s dog vs. dog series belongs to it without doubt. and he is also not disappointing with the no.4. on the contrary - hagelstein offers us two very different tracks, but which have one thing in common: quality! aerohonica appears unusually housy and melancholic, whereas scissor mouse is a breaker in ruedes typically manner. both tracks are high class floor bombs! the same procedere as every year? - with dog, with pleasure.

the musicloverz are back, but now with their 1st own record, a huge big room electro track, supportet by popmuschi. dont kiss...dont miss!

featured on mr tejadas fabric mix cd ! >fractals< explores the inner musical geometry of john tejada’s electronic productions in 3 varieties. the opening track >fractals< builds driving, rhythmic layers, evolving modular blips and atmospheres which then reduce to reveal the elements that lie beneath. >the open< is a featured track on tejadas fabric 44 mix. just like a warm cup of morning coffee in your hand, it gives the feeling of a fresh new day and the possibilities that lie ahead. an ethereal piece that may remind some of tejadas classic melodic moments. continuing the nostalgic theme is the aptly titled >better days< a piano chord driven track which brings to mind classics from long ago, but with a tejada twist.

lets remixer speak! >it was great to be asked to do this. originally, i wanted to do something really quirky and funky with the strange vocal in human bond, one of my favorite old tracks. i tried a few times but i couldnt really get a vibe going in the funk realm. so i listened to the original over and over again and then the lightbulb turned on. i realized that the original was a monster rave track, like what you would hear in a warehouse in detroit in the 90s. so i threw out my original idea and went crazy with a huge techno builder, something to hype a big rave just like the original. maybe this doesnt sound exactly like what i usually do but that was the fun of making it< claude vonstroke. aa: >bounce your body to the box was one of the first kms records that i owned and it was all about the mike >hitman< wilson mix and force field on the b side. the production on the original was huge. the 909 groove just pounded everything... when that came out there was nothing that came close to it. so it was an honor and a challenge to mix it myself. first came the futurist bounce mix... not released on vinyl, anmerkung, ... which is more of a cover version than a remix. i had a lot of fun with this one but it definitely has a signature that steps away from the original. so i had to take a run at it one more time to pay a proper homage to the original with the flashback mix< mike shannon...

the pump ep is a typically genre-bending mixture of pumping, groovy house tracks, exploring the many sides of this highly regardedproducers fruitful repertoire. lead track the pump is a vivacious number that takes a clean, modern house aesthetic as a base and later infuses it with a dirtier, earlier morning vibe, with phoniques playful use of the resplendent chord stabs. its a slow burner indeed, and yet another example of his effortless arrangement talents. fancying a spot of fresh air and a trip into the audio countryside, bike ride is an even more playful journey into the kooky electronic world of phoniques studio outings. solid drums and warm sub bass provide the energy for all manner of pops and tweaks to unfold. its another deeper track but be warned it still has the power to lift a crowd up onto its tip-toes. going down more of a techno route, tooltime completes the package and breaks out the big guns for some serious heads down dancefloor ignition. urgent and tight late night action, not for the faint of heart, the tracks title is too modest - it should really read ‚ peak time
