it hasnt been long time ago since the last coup made by clark and schatz hit the streets but highgrades head-honcho tom clark and the true berlin talent markus schatz allready go for the next round. the original version of >hot choc< makes the start - playfully swinging, the track developes itself into a masterpiece of an easy going groove without being half bad. the french dj and producer tom pooks - well known for this productions on ovum, kompakt and other wellsounding imprints gives >hot choc< a whole lot of jacking energy to take along. he sets the percussive elements free - and rightly so! punch meets hypnotic deepness - perfect! with the hot choc re-edit on the flipside by markus schatz he eventually letting the cat out of the bag. without any detours and in best daniel bell-like mannour he jump into a real inferno made of funky bleeps and weird sounds. delivering with this one more than just another highlight on this release - because last but least it’s the best evidence, you gotta reckon with these two!

the legendary club u60311 in frankfurt has opened up a brand-new hotspot for minimal right in the heart of the city, going by the name of 311. paired with this, an affiliated label - dreielf recordings - has also been launched. the residents michael kohlbecker, one part of the saafi brothers, and frankfurts newcomer peter eilmes are releasing the fruits of their cooperation in their home studio, and putting an already-established scene hit onto vinyl with - tabasco. the original of the record impresses with its anthemic character, which may have been due to the fat bass-line and the striking trumpet. despite its monotony, a real jewel for every record case and just the stuff to get happiness dripping from the club ceiling. the remix by alexi delano, on the other hand, is somewhat deeper and more melodic at the same time, but still contains all the ingredients necessary for a proper shot of tabasco. sonic monogamy or fat kick basses make this remix unique. the dominant trumpet and the scraping percussion of the berliner andre crom make this remix an absolute guarantee of ecstasy. tabasco is hot and burns like hell!

rip, rig & paniq is the second chapter of a 4 singles serie introducing a more groovy aspect of radiq s music. tracks produced in the spirit of his >graffiti & rude boy 67< album but thought for the dancefloor this time. the 4 tracks on this ep present the highest quality production full of jazz and funk influences. rip, rig & paniq is all about radiq s subtility to mix electronic and acoustic sound

gorgeous sound, sweaty beats and a dream of a female voice! no, i am not talking about the new jenna jameson movie, but from the 1st release from the djs jay pariz & meave de tria. dancing with tears in my eyes, a hit from the 80ies by ultravox, and converted it into a danceable club dream from vinyl. youthfully cheeky they play with the a bit long in the tooth gotten song and planted on a living cell therapy which is listenable. incl. 3 remixes by niels van gogh, doc phatt and spacekid

played by steve bug, karotte, nick curly, serafin, joris voorn, dj t and many more... since half a year already a highlight in his live-act, now finally here is the release. for >una pena< stimming worked with vocals of the chilean folklore-singer violeta parra. it s worth to surf wikipedia for this wonderful, versatile and extraordinary woman!but that s not enough, argy produced a fantastic remix, which shows, as well as his great >focus on< album on poker flat, why he is so popular.

four varied tracks on this limited (100 copies) white label from glasgow. all artists are anonymous but we can tell you the four here have between them released music on djax up beats, 7th sign, deta (claude youngs label), mowar and sula muse (paul macs label

dj support by : james flavour, jamie jones, karotte, sebo k... hamburgs chris gruber and nils nurnberg have been doing an array of production and mixes for multiple labels lately but these two tracks stick out. both sparkle with a dense and intense still airy and reduced approach to modern deep electronic house. oz yavooz enigmatic skilled vox raunt gives >c mon & dance< a demanding twist to it, mixing old school new jack swing with a bright metreuropean attitude. a typical wasnotwas relerase mixing classical sound quotation with vibrant forward thinking music. gruber & nurnberg drop the ballistics here with a double a side rocking the cradle & floor with style and ease not often heard lately. the rest we leave up to you to decide being sure we wont disappoint

ziggy kinders last outing on souvenir proved to be one of the highlights of 2007. bailamos, a record destined to make love to the converging worlds of european techno and south american latin music was hailed by artists like laurent garnier, koze and mike shannon for its mysterious melodies and enveloping percussion while the a-side que pasa maria was championed by anja schneider and radioslave. fans of tiefschwarzs daring souvenir imprint will be in no doubt as to what lies in store for the label’s tenth release. >flipflop crash< is another typically ziggy workout destined for a discerning international dancefloor. disorientating percussion and flanging effects dance around an insistent throbbing bassline while a female vocal whispers in french. the warm melodies layering the track hint at the sultriness of >bailamos< , but this is a continuation not a revisitation and an impressive step forward for ziggys sound. on the flip chilean star pier bucci takes up the remix reigns. after impressing with his ahead-of-its-time familia lp on crosstown rebels in 2005 and last years club bomb hay consuelo, his addition to the souvenir roster is another memorable recruitment with current label remix talents including artists like carl craig, tiefschwarz, shonky, samim, kiki & silversurfer and radioslave. his interpretation adds an injection of urgency to ziggys original, stripping the vocals back to a minimum to make way for an epic delay soaked synth hook. its a remix destined for the end of a night or that perfect plateau of a party when the dancefloor has been moving for hours waiting for a hypnotising melody such as this to sweep it onto another level

the official compilation for the streetparade zurich 1995 !! compiled by tobias lampe and marc schneider, but don t forget, it was 1995:)

support by: luciano, matt star, pascal feos, alex bau, syntec!!! first release on momentum from a russian artist, and indeed a really talented one. his three tracks appear really fresh, especially cy30 with its acrobatic vocalizing could partly remind on some previous raudive-releases, but more minimal orientated they appear to open up a new definition of how minimal techno can be produced without becoming boring

whats the secret of making a dance floor explode? if youd like to learn just open christian burkhardts contemporary box and look whats inside: at a first glance, it seems that it doesnt contain a lot, except for 3 dance tools. but once on the turntable you may discover the whole secret of this release. what seems to be so simple is a complex construct of percussive elements and basslines that are being arranged just in the right way. contemporary box finds it s peak without even having one, just by grooving on and on, monotonously, with jumping sticks and a pushing bassline. maison noir moves a little more to the housier side and is being carried by warm chords as well as by effective percussions. phey boom brings in a certain coolness and carries that great release home

ladies and gentlemen... the house kingpin dj sneak once again delivers a 4 track banger with a remix by nyc 1200 warriors. get ready for the best sneak signature sounds that bring dancefloors alive from the dead. on the a side i am sneak a heavy todd terry style influenced rhythm track with chants about if you re down with me count 1.2,3... & well, well, well... sneak comes back with a smoother but jackin house beat with some old college radio interview from the early 90s, sneak gets an introduction to the track itself and gives many props to the people that still love and do house music. the b side we have cant take no more and a remix by nycs 1200 warriors to complement this house ragga hi energetic house dance floor killer. these hard hitting chicago - nyc influenced tracks have the elements of pure street sounds, bangin beats as usual and the sickest 1 bar loops that only sneak can put together. this 4 track ep brings back the serious sneak sound that is much needed in danfloors across the globe.

the dutch rush hour mob getting involved in the no info, no sleeve, no messing about techno game, this is undoubtedly affiliated with rednose distrikt, but, you guessed it, more techno-y. if you liked the seldom felt stuff, or aardvarck, or any of the hardwax stuff, you will be digging this in a big way.

support comes from marc romboy, stephan bodzin, markus lange.. techno four tracker with influences from minimal, electro and prog..

nasty & stripped down 808-heavy house cuts… big with all deep hypnotic house diggers! >dear john, hope you remember me, its laverne radix. im in oslo now. sometimes it gets cold but in my mind i hear the pa pounding of dick control. you were right, its for life! and that keeps me hot at night. you & me were getting down last summer to that low end bass and the high hats, scattered all around my body, got us closer. we were sweating so bad... i didnt want to say it... but p.s. i love you always, laverne<

the king unique/junior revival continues on curfew with one of the biggest tracks of 2001, remixed and refreshed for its 08 comeback. aah yeah… >obscene, dirty, filthy, immoral<, a chant that echoed across clubland throughout that year of tribal beats, dark >waaaarp< noises and danny tenaglias dj booth torch-antics. but fuck the nostalgia and get these two superb remixes in your lbag

the new deetron single, with part 1 featuring marcel dettmann on remix duties, >lets get over it< is a gloriously soulful techno masterpiece. deetrons early detroit and chicago influences are evident in the music. tough and groovy with some warped synth action, that weaves its way around the lush, warm vocals of justin. not only do you have the great original, but music man have produced an embarrassment of riches for you, with three huge remixes. first up is berghain resident marcel dettmann. known for his outstanding and original productions on osgut ton and his own label mdr. he produces something fresh yet surprisingly old skool in sound. this mix has already been licensed by dettmann for his latest compilation

hey friends, this is going to be a great ride today! slick, red, rocking and housy. today in the box with catz n dogz aka 3 channels, grzegorz demiianczuk and wojciech tranaczuk. and up to now, everybody was deeply impressed by their speedy, red, cool vehicle: from claude van stroke, john tejada or wighnomy brothers. or us! they are really hot and can already choose their favourite international racetrack. but here and now comes a very special floor shaker: outstanding when it comes to style, appearance and acceleration. and extremely funky even at lower speed torque. both pilots promise loads of details, tension and elegance - together with their will to win after a long and exciting home stretch. this is motor sport from another star and should be honoured like it. and it will be honoured, no doubt! sway the banner! award ceremony! champagne, and thats it

rmxs by peter horrevorts and budai & vic , plastic city brings you two absolutely hot remixes of >flicking pages<, the track from the timewriter album >soulstickers<, and one new track that doesnt appear on the album. the man who had his first plastic city release in 1996, and his very first record >soul freak music< out on the plastic city sub-label suburbia in 1995, gave his track into very good hands. now its your turn to decide whether they got it or not, but were sure youll rock the place with these tracks. so put the needle on the record…

incl. westpark unit remix ! beautiful & classic house 4 tracker ! big with: laurent garnier, clive henry, manuel tur, margaret dygas, geddes, john digweed, justin drake, dan ghenacia, miss jools,.. next up our very own blm drops fof009 and we have to say, we think its a bit of a belter. three original tracks to choose from >nacho< being the lead tune and a tribute of one of our favourite tracks from last year. penny sweet to anyone who guesses what? next up >believe in love< is a top notch houser, if your too girly to handle the uplifting vocal a dub will be coming shortly. >oi pedro do you do chips< just grooves along in its own special way. last but not least new talents >westpark unit< provide a remix of >believe in love<, classy!

this a track charged with the energy that deux has accustomed us with but also contains a melody that takes it further and will not leave you indifferent!!

>shared time< by rolf imhof is a fine, minimal driven, crisp tune dancing on a cool dry beat base. with the petite but magnificent hook-line the song will easily casts the spell over the club crowds. tobi lützenkirchen s (platform b, stil for talent) remix puts the lid on this must vinyl

the chaps at off-key hq have been busy digging out the old dat tapes from their attic and sorting out the wheat from the chaff. for this release they go way back to bring you four more tracks courtesy of kimble, a collaboration between matt o brien and matt gates (aka minor planets). kicking things off is the beatless sketch of >lycius<, spiky alien synths flicker and pierce through detached ethereal pads moving in the surrounding weightless space. next up is the ep s lynchpin track, >state of shock<. proper techno is the order of the day here, this is an authentic old school minimal track first recorded in 1996 but left gathering dust ever since. immerse yourself in the subtle dub inflected melodies swirling in your womb bubble while the slamming rhythm track provides the heartbeat. over on the flip we chill things out with the haunting strings and aquatic bassline of >amb<, providing a delicate counterpoint to the upfront style of the a side. the ep is completed with a stunning remix of >state of shock< by minor planets, who layer on a towering bassline and transform the original into a laid back dub workout.

when sonic pioneers collide in an ideal setup within club culture dynamics, they do not just produce dents on the floor, but in fact amalgamate in a pliant way to stretch the space-time continuum by means of enrichment through sound. and knowledge. were we have such a mighty hook up: gerald simpson is known to be an innovator of electronic dance music. starting with manchester-based 808 state in 1988, sparking the fire of voodoo ray acid soul, measuring the black secret technology jungle, finding the essence of song based dance via new york city, he continues pushing evolutionary music processes since taking up residence in berlin. now he joins forces with the perlon visionary community of unfathomable deepness and unrivalled sound design always leaving room for novelty, scientific curiosity and blasting mind frames

big with alex picone (cadenza) for phonica records london. the record has already been played by dj s such as james pennington, dj buzz goree (underground resistance) dj jus ed, radioslave, cassy, pacou, mad max, ricardo villalobos, luciano, prosumer, marcel dettmann.... their third ep on there independent label is a manifesto of their purposes: to provide to the dancefloors solid analagoue fat sounds not following the trends but always digging deep into their roots with the eyes on the future. the future is the past and the past is the future. restoration is an anti-digital media corporation who fully believe which the only useful ammunitions for djs are vinyls

banging big room stuff !! dj joss, world-class expert in djing technics, is going to release his single hit ! joss has reached the dmc world championship finals twice (in rimini & new york). he is now making everybody’s dreaming with his voice. he is not only a dj, composer and talented producer, but also a complete artist as a singer. wanted all over europe in the biggest parties for his dj-sets, he is now accompanied by the most popular mc in europe, cosmic !!

nice price deal !!! big with mickey moonlight, tensnake, cosmo vitelli, todd terje, joakim and the permanent vacation crew. they ve been called one of dance music s best kept secrets jackpot. in 1983 italian experimental sound artist marco donatello and swedish synth pioneer gleen asp made recordings together. their ambition was to put sound to an art-project but the result was an erotic cocktail of italo-esque melodies, ebm rhythms, and filmic arpeggios. legend has it the music was made as an excuse to press records off a narcotic solution in order to smuggle drugs, and that a mishap during the operation explains why we haven t heard these tracks before. in any case, this is an exclusive document of unknown yet truly unique swedish dance music.

solid 4 track electro techhouse ep... seven days and one week is a incredible remake of bbes classic... but the other three tracks rocks the floor too

played by martin landsky, popof, mihalis safras, nic fanciulli, tiger stripes, raudive, audiojack, luke solomun, chloé….. lützenkirchen shows again his studio skills but also his very own way of running a label with great artists from munich. as always including one great track by the master himself plus 2 formidable tunes from emin corrado and micky monzza & joseph disco

limited green coloured vinyl... ultraphat deep spacin but still kickin detroit tracks, mr paul mac , welcome back !!

bobby & klein are back with their second ep, >jackzilla<,!!! they return to guesthouse for this second ofering, which shows the evolution of the french duo, heading this time for more synthetic sounds, while retaining their inner jack! the first track of the ep, >naughty<, will have you sing >do you feel naughty< for a long time with its infectious vocal hook and its peak time breakdown. the second track, >i want sax< is based on a rhodes loop and rolling bassline and features the talent of mr fm umlaut on synthesizers. last but not least, the title track, >jackzilla<, closes the ep with its peak time party horns sample and enormous bassline, ready to explode your bass cabinets all over the world. another guesthouse jacker!

>work in progress< was born in december 2005 by two french dj, kony & maxime dangles. the first one hold a record store, the other discovers the mix universe. their musical relationship and friendship never stops evolving since they met in 1999. 10 years are separating the duet members but it’s never been a problem, each member is influencing the other melting minimal music with new wave inspirations. after maxime dangles released solo a few ep on kompakt, paso or scandium, here’s a release under >work in progress< pseudo on the french logarythm..

xtra limted to 300 yellow transparent vinyl copies worldwide!!! >sound of music< works as a perfect inspired, genre surfing 4-tracker. satisfaction and happiness gruber s music continues to give cannot be conveyed in so few words. but it infects all listeners diverse and directional as another classic example of breakin techno and house boundaries today!

ultraphat deep spacin but still kickin detroit tracks, mr paul mac , welcome back !!

same script as with previous control voltage releases, 2 x 303, 1 x 808, 1 x 909, 2 x blokes on dial and desk duty and this time guest starring a linn lm2 for that fearsome descending snare sound. this one is a big analogue party tune that just keeps on going and is sure to put a wonky grin on a bunch of sweaty faces on a dancefloor near you this summer. also, contrary to a number of reports from a few internet record dealers who seem hell-bent on driving up the price of the first 2 control voltage 12s, they are not quite sold out a source, we havent got many left but there are a few remaining for anyone that needs them

supported by jeff bennett, ripperton, fabrice lig, solomun, pawas, john digweed, dubnitzky, bvdub, da funk, estroe,.... french producer arthur pochon alias art bleek (resopal, connaisseur, klakson, kubism, rushhour) is well known for his beautiful and dancing releases. now he presents his debut release on night drive music. the strong limited 4-tracker is full of dreaming moments, grooving beats and wonderful stories. this tunes are made for the deep summernights but also for the morning after. calmly and tenderly art bleek caresses our soul with soft chords, enchanting melodies and flattering beats.

si begg is not a rock band - but he definitely knows how to rock the house! 2001 original pressing

dear passenger, welcome aboard the new drehmoment spaceship >>rueckwaerts im uhrzeigersinn<<. we are going to travel through space and time expanding the frontiers of our knowledge by exploring the musical galaxy were in and, by the nature of our majestic universe, finding ourselves in a well known yesterday! from cosmic disco to planet ebm, with a short stop on space station electro, flying across soundtrack like sci-fi tunes and last but not least visiting home planet earth for a nip of pop rock!

a standout track for us is >fantasy<, which was never released on 12inch but despite this has been a djs favourite for over 30 years. the lush layering of instruments and percussion create a track that sounds as fresh today as it would have in 1975. after citing this as one of their favorite records of all time, faze action took this track and have given us some excellent edits which add extra dancefloor elements while keeping the integrity of the original

no, not 7 dwarfs - but 4 giant techno tracks!

quotes say more than a 1000 promotional words: dubfire: >excellent!< / stephan bodzin: >monster remix package! love it, play it, chart it!< / d julz: >oxia remix is hotttt!< / stephan hinz: >i love oxias and martins mixes... will play and play and play!< / laurent garnier: >great remixes but i still like the original best<

essential tech-house interpretation of the jazz standard! tip ! at the core of >take five< is a warm, fluttering piano loop that wouldnt sound out of place on a nina simone record. around these rich, faintly jazzy chords, jona builds a thrillingly direct, percussive track which nods to the passion and polish of classic 90s house music. a shuffling snare pattern and a tough, buoyant kickdrum combine with the keys to give the dancefloor a workout it wont forget. this is smart, optimistic stuff from jona, a ready-made soundtrack for hands in the air at late summers parties. >sunset< is a darker but no less seductive affair. its skeleton is a supple, minimalist groove, undercut with a raw, rangy bassline, and topped by tight snares and a steady, sibilant rush of hi-hats.

reissue of this rare italo disco track from 83. probably our last italo disco release since most of it has been bootlegged by now but we really wanted to credit giuliano saglia for this magical release. >firelight< is bouncy 80s synthesizer disco with those trademark italo sounds and vocals (also included the instrumental version). but what should get you really excited is the flemming dalum >firelight< remix. he strips it down to the minimal and builds an amazing dark and intense version that stays true to the original sound but with a modern dancefloor approach.

two great edits produced by rotterdams loud-e (who previously did an amazing edit release on magick edits & bear funk). this disco connaisseur is sharing some of his sickest and hottest edits, made out of several tracks which once were available as b-side, as obscure library album or just in very limited quantities. he is one of those young guys influenced by the scene around clone and cbs and dj’s such as i-f & baldelli. but now its his time to shine with some amazing edit work! hey mr dj!!! this song is just for you!
