when iridite started out they really wanted it to represent a wide selection of electronic music - at the time, many of the bigger labels (and many independent ones too) seemed content to pigeon hole everything, generating sub label after sub label, each with its own micro-scene or genre. over the years we feel we ve done a pretty good job of steering clear of the obvious but we were still lacking a little in one important area - house music. although >ga< isnt straight down the line standard house music, it s instrumentation, simple repeating bassline and beats give forward motion that fits nicely with a more old school version of house along with some percussive vocal stabs and eventually, a huge synth string climax- like a cross between early ron trent, fingers inc and kenny larkin. the b side gives us two tracks from one of the most talented young producers working in the field today - jamie greer, who s tha poke guise gave us one of the highlights of ir004 (uncommon sense), moves >fall fwd< in strong style with his unique take on the (original) detroit sound - remaining completely individual, his sound is instantly familiar and yet never derivative or tired. both tracks have the energy to survive on the dance floor but the subtlety and depth to bear repeated listening at home - proper techno

rock is an atmospheric but kick ass progger with a cool broken beat part in the middle flip over for glass world a great atmospheric track with an electronic feeling

"nice reminiscent of a classic minimal josh wink !! justified cause’s proposal for this ep is to present an exclusive, extended mix of the song >take control< from the 981 north album in the classic 12&#8243; format. we believe the track to be a strong fusion of american house in its deepest style, but made with an exceptional current day minimal production technique. as a result, we hope that besides just being a great dj track, that it will appeal to both types of listeners. as you would expect from the crew down at justified cause… who better to remix this track but our in house jack master, garcynoise who >takes control< of the remix and turns it into an indubitable dance floor filler by also fusing some old school feel with some new school production"

remix-package to one of the biggest wir hits. newcoming talent kab shows some severe skills with a tight remix that keeps minilogues hooklines in shape but introduces them to its unique world of magical flow while pulling off the impossible, he creates a masterbuilder being tense and tender at the same time. jichael mackson on the other hand constructs a relaxed groove rich in texture, pushing the sounds further and further until the final climax while tracing the original material rather emotionally then rationally. minilogue themselves round off the package with a beautifully dashed ambient version

the vinyl boasts not only a club and radio mix, but also a more stripped down, dark and dirty mix for the more depraved of nightclub moments. hes even thrown in a raunchy a cappella to boot! mind if my friend joins in? is one of the most distinctive records you will hear in 2007 and, whilst it is guaranteed to tear up clubs worldwide, it also manages to push the envelope in a time of exciting change for dance music

jay moved through the ranks at juno and with 5 years record shop work experience under his belt jay now has a broad influence base for his current productions. these mainly focus on classic, itaol and nu disco, us, deep, and acid house right through vintage techno and the modern minimal sounds. his recent productions like this fine four track ep combine many of these influences but always lean toward the warm, retro, vintage electronic sounds that first time around he was too young to experience

after freak out here comes the next big tune by supadelics. take a look inside is a great electro-house track with male vocals, an electronic but funky bassline and some nice strings and synthie chords. on the flip there is a fantastic dub by myles dyson, who had several successful releases on his own label plasmapool or karatemusik. his interpretation adds a new bassline and some special effects on the chords and vocals making this the perfect choice for the peak-time. the package is completed with a original dub mix for all who are not into vocals

on the second part of listen to the drums you will find the jazzanova remix again but this time in a dixon edit on the flip trueby trios christian prommers delivers his great drum lesson remix not to be missed

>miscalate< starts off as a smooth, deep house record but quickly chooses a darker path and a big rumbling bassline takes over with sharp electronics following closely behind. as with all the production work of audiofly and paul harris, its the interesting structure and musical side of the track that really makes it stands out. partial arts, a new project from ewan pearson and al usher, take control and not just remix but remake the track! theyve delivered something rather special. a very unique, different and exciting production that will surely be turning heads and pricking the ears of many

movimento a is a tribal based funk track, with a impressive groove. movimento b is a deeper track but also with an excellent drum base. movimento c is the hardest track aimed to the hard part of the set, also with an excellent tribal base

tony senghore is no stranger to the world of electronic house music. after countless releases under various monikers including records for paper recordings, music for freaks, underwater and seasons he now graces john dahlbäck s incredibly successful pickadoll imprint with his particular definition of driving & playful dance-floor insanity. way out is based upon a non-stop bass line and perfectly embodies tony s advanced musical temperement by including oriental melodies and fierce efx. careful you don’t lose control on the dancefloor! ‘way off’ on the flipside displays his ability to combine bass-heavy rhythms with simple, keen riffs – but no less mental for it!

to celebrate the 50th release and 10 years of existence we wanted to showcase something which brought back those early moments of house and techno but still sounded new and exciting. who better to choose for this job than greg oreck with a little help from sasse on the controls..

joakim is back.this time tough, he surprises us with a small pop jewel! but lonely hearts is not a classic pop song, it is much more joakims interpretation of one. a catchy tune, which does not want to be one. an exciting contrast between catchiness and a bleeping onslaught.on lonely hearts, cheesy sounding strings really stand out over a stoic stomping drum beat, dark singing grates against beeping keyboard playing, in the chorus a wonderful melody has a comforting effect over the very sad lyrics.in addition to the album version and the radio edit, the lonely hearts maxi also features the loving hand remix by tim goldsworthy. the musician (lcd soundsystem) and label owner (dfa records) skillfully pulls lonely hearts to the left, brushing it into a dark club track. with the distorted slow motion vocals, the funky bass run and the demanding beats, it is suddenly very close to the sound that already characterized joakims club hits are you vegetarian and come into my kitchen. and you ll also fin a joakim dub of the track. this dub keep the pop side of the song with a more catchy approach for a more dancefloor version of the original and with always the weirdness you use to find now in the joakim production !supported by tim sweeney, prins thomas

according to a friend from new york, nick chacona is into hugging, the smurfs, biting people and feeling really guilty about it the next day, chewing his moustache, shaving his head, cleaning up cat piss, noodling disco, crying and sharing. well, he forgot to mention that he’s also been recording some of the finest house music to come out of nyc since 2001. his angel dust swan dive on bear funk back in 2005 established him on the international scene but hes also recorded for labels as respected as compost, mood music, greyhound and 20:20 vision. this release sees him delve deep into the guitar dub house that sits so sweetly on bear funk gold, the regenerated id for a regenerated bear funk. a cambria heights affair is sure to please

detroit s new >soundshift< imprint makes a stunning debut with this intoxicating two-tracker. opening up is the soultek remix of billy dalessandro s smashing >don t sleep< release (which was found in the many sets of dan bell, ame, annie mac & pete tong last month) this mix is nothing short of brilliant and will certainly capture the hearts and sets of all those mathew jonson or loco dice fans out there. it has a subtlety that really creeps up on you and before you know it you re tapping your feet and zoning out listening to the intricacies of the music. truly minimal, there are loads of space within the track which is somewhat similar to the original but still a world apart, particularly in the fantastically eerie synth programming. in the forefront of the song is the shimmering and haunting vocal loop, >don t sleep< which has an almost hypnotic effect. (think richie hawtin in closer) the melody of the title is a delicate affair which sips cocktails in the company of some nicely chosen whirring and echoing noises. the build is effected so subtly it verges on melancholy but halfway through a rumbling bassline, appregiated melody and backbeat hi-hat pattern announce a funkier escalation!!

third of a series on the london electronic label mean, expired eggs ep offers as usual a different view of minimal techno nowadays, with cesare vs disorder further establishing his own unusual sound. quirky and groovy but still deep and abstract the ep goes from the highly danceable >motor curry< and >london vertigo< to the inner side with >fernanda< and >heartless<. weird voices and liquid layers underneath characterize the production of this young talent who promises to fill up the early morning dancefloors as well as catching the heartbeat of peak time situations

bastian heerhorst and patrick meissner from hamburg, first met each other in the end of the 90s by their common love for graffiti. inspired by the hamburg night live, they decided very soon to work creatively together, also for their music productions. because of bastians long time experience in electronic music and the revolutionary development of the virtual instruments, the two guys were fast able to obtain quite dancable results, also with a small budget. begun with the rather modest possibilities of a 4-tracker on the amiga and the first live-acts with a groovebox, bastians liking to produce and to experiment with all possible styles grew. since also patrick came in contact with electronic music in hamburg s scene already early, it was somehow predetermined that in the future not only walls, but also dancefloors gonna be rocked. the project >heerhorst & meissner< was born and with kompass musik a label was found, which was courageous enough to publish the first tracks of duo…

supported by karotte !! with the signing of south-german newcomer dizko toaster oliver koletzki rediscovers his old love for squeaky peak-time disco house. toast hawaii is one of those tracks, starting with the sound of the sea breaking and combining filtered disco grooves with sexy techno synths that take you back to the hedonism of studio 54. the track itself is the bomb, but the list of remixers is impressive, too: koletzki as parker frisby turns it into a smashing hit adding his typically strong loops and some hypnotic vocals. on the flip man of the moment remute contributes his production skills and creates an effect-laden driving techno piece full of surprises. stil vor talents own h.o.s.h. then takes a totally different approach resulting in a deep and warmly grooving detroit-style track that immerses the listener into the depth of the tune. this record is a lot of fun

looking back to a great year, we find david k from the freak n chic posse being one of the most successful newcomers in 2006. freak n chic stands for a kicking mix of techno and acid sounds, which are blended with some house. dj friendly, very danceable but still demanding, with elements of deep house and minimal house…whereas >tender and sugar< seems straighter, darker and more minimal, and the fat but simple beat is the driving element, >mayann< comes along with strong reerences to >Âme< and its synth sounds remind of >rej< or productions of >pasta boys< from italy
