argentina is on fire right now, so for its third imprint, esperanza introduces us jorge savoretti from rosario. with previous appeareances on the prestigious french label telegraph, this 24-year old talent brings us his impressive debut ep which is full of different flavours. on the a-side, -150 reasons to bite you-, is a deep rolling track with a super driving bass and great build ups which will sure set the dancefloor on fire. -space juice- will take you on a journey of trippy spacey sounds laying over its funked up bass and groovy rhythms. while on the b-side we have marc houle and ryan crosson, both minus artists, reworking -150 reasons-. keeping the original flavour but adding his old school touch marc delivers a peak time bomb. while the detroit native mutates the original into a storming late night mover suitable for the mind and the body, making this record a must have in your collection

the original mix of someone by jona, sees him utilizing his trademark weird as you like sounds n snippets combined with some otherworldly haunting noises, making this a true connoisseurs dream, phucked up as hell, but groovy nonetheless. claude vonstroke (check his fabulous deep troat release on dirty bird, now coming out dj sneak remixes through ministry of sound) gets his hands dirty with a lowdown dubbed out lektro house workout, which stays cool until a freaked out intermezzo after which all mayhem breaks loose… plays by damian lazarus, djulz, hipp-e, graig richards, geoffroy (hi-phen), mandy, dennis ferrer, mazi, justin martin, dan ghenacia..

nice price deal !!! the unstoppable groove invaderz are back with another slammin ep. this time enlisted the superb vocal talents of nicole tyler who does a great job in singing this song. also features a stunning remix from kid massive and big city dogs. but the original mix is the one getting people frothing at the mouth

force sense artist bolls shows us his powerful side of music. he produces a fat peaktime track with catchy breaks and a burner-bass ! moritz piske gives that track a raw feeling and makes a really fat stomping peaktime rocker and uses the leading elements of the original. gauchel produces a new track what contained little sound fragments from the original but with an more shallowly arrangement/sound

cesare vs. disorder returns to the studio with argentinean partner perro magnetico with this deep and hypnotic four tracker that will help further cement the mean london sound. a deep and brooding first track introduces twisted, down tuned vocals and liquefied layers built inside tight arrangements before a throbbing bass takes the driving seat. a2 holds a playful and quirky electronic excursion >clarete< warming us up with romantic, light melodies. on the b side, ale ross aka perro magnetico drives you deeply into the sunset with two minimal gems that build but never explode. a demonstration of where minimal techno could go from these two young artists.. a must have for all minimal fans / sleeparchive fans!!!

new born label hertz records, sprung from the depths of scanian no-mans land, begins its crusade towards world domination with a release from detroit dutchman orlando voorn. the fix man genuinely delivers his best release in years, bringing the high energy funk as usual with two deadly dance floor killers. >enter< is a driving techno monster, with an old school detroit minimal groove akin to rob hoods productions on m-plant or even some of the more tame blacknation releases, updated with a modern freshness in voorns own unique style. but as this music does not translate well into words in our opinion, descriptions are useless until you hear it for yourself

no need to introduce mazi & david duriez one more time, even those new in the house music business should have heard of them, the real chicago – paris connection. they have developed their own labels at the same time, gourmet & brique rouge, they built their carreers at the same time but this is only the second time, and surely not the last, that they go together in the studio. first time they produced the seminal everything is allright, one of the highlights from the audio soul projects album community this time they produced one of their futur classic, while david duriez was in chicago on the way to his detroit electronic music festival gig. produced in just one afternoon, the track is already acclaimed and hammered by all the big onesjosh wink plays it everywhere. mr.c has also been reported jumping in the booth to ask david what this track was.

pan-pot take on anja schneider & sebo k s hit >rancho relaxo<. the biggest success on mobilee so far is re-newed by mobilee s shooting stars. the pan-pot producer team claim there territories once again with a funky tune. this is not ponderosa - welcome to the black ranch.aa - gummihz take a scalpel to anja schneider s >addicted< gummi is well known for his talent to break musical rules and borders. his remix for mrs. schneider s >addicted< is laid back in a way but rollin and roll in and bouncin…

broken beat afro tech style!?but one thing is for sure this is a great sounding track with some nice funky pumping beats creating a central focus to the strings sounds and effect that are evident in the mix. certainly a very infectious and crowd pleasing record that will be on a lot pf playlists over the next few months. mod x as ever pushing the style boundaries and pulling it off in fine fashion!

phuture, the ones that began and defined the acid house sound, only released a handful of tracks (plus an album a full decade after their debut), but have remained a legendary act in the development of chicago house for their stomping 1987 single >acid trax<. here we have an unreleased studio session of another phuture hit unofficially titled >slam dance<. ltd 1 sided.

apendics.shuffle has been tearing through clubs for the last few years on labels such as adjunct, resopal red and orac, but it is here on leftroom that he has hit top form. 3 tracks of twisted trademark hooks, and crisp production make this a must. our very own szenario turns in an eerie remix for those early hours also!!! label support now from richie hawtin, ricardo villalobos, luciano, craig richards, magda, troy pierce, matthew dear, need we say more....

paul nazca, based in the south of france where the techno scene is quite big and active, normally releases mostly on his own label (scandium). but this time the french outrider touches base with bpitch - and is more than welcome!

first release on the adventures in the beetroot field label and its a stone cold killer. >house on fire< is a totally infectious indie disco rocker that not only has the dancefloor savvy but the actual tune to match.. >blackout falls< adds a bit more bass to the mix and one of those all important disco beats.. an indie disco monster to !!

this is the first volume of a limited edition serie of 12” featuring some of his unreleased tracks or lost gems for the first time on vinyl duriez was very active behind the gears in the nineties and his appetite for electronic tunes lead him to produce hundreds of tracks in many genres. the man did produce house & techno but also drum&bass (he has produced an album in 1998 unreleased for now that we will release as download only on our new imprint aperto – check the web soon, the label will also release his unreleased album from 2002 as le dav) or downtempo.

bugz in the attic release the second single from the inspired debut album back in the dog house,a live favourite and deftly handled cover of yarborough and peoples 1980 bassline heavy dont stop the music. bugz, pioneers of deep and dirty dance music, brought a brimming confidence along with the experimentation of their debut, which glistens with stone cold funk, boogie and disco but remains resolutely contemporary thanks to their immersion in club culture and the broad pool of guest vocal talents at their disposal. for dont stop the music former basement jaxx collaborator sharlene hector was given the task of re doing a bugz favourite, and the result is an out and out west london bruk up twist that takes the basslines from p funk, the soul of the original and a certain pirate radio grit and delivers the very essence of bugz.

the incredible ibiza mega club hit of 2005 and 2006 returns with two brand new remixes from no one else than martin eyerer and paul woolford! martin eyerer shows us a completely new shade of the track as he puts the distinctive vocals into a driving and very reduced but still kicking drum pattern. definitely something for never ending dc 10 nights. however paul woolford demonstrates that the trentemøller remix of 2004 is not the only version for peaktime action. >wooly< is succeed in giving the track a stark new and fresh kick..

smooth carl finlow house tracks with a electro feel. probably one of his most floor orientated releases in a while. can be compared with his massive il.ek.tro release on klang but more straight forward. this even reminds us of the classic o

toni vokado stands for dry but inventive plocker-rave. on his upcoming 12inch >um die eigene achse< eav018 vokado continues with his pithy style of his previous releases on electric avenue recordings and brings it to another level. at first you might think it is minimal techno but than his playfulness and sound collages pushes forward and you realise: this is strong and rave compatible - an audioplay at home a call to dance in the clubs: microscope rhythm

three lost classics from the golden years of chicago house return or are they new tracks?. hard to say but if you re a fan of the 303 these squeaking resonance knob burners will put a big yellow smile on your face. warehouse tracks for the club, if your looking for the sounds of classic chicago acid house, look no further… we even heard moodymann & steve silk play these tunes on his recent tour through the windy city...written & produced by terry mullan & kevin ford

markantonio label !!v when he started his label in 2001, it farily soon turned out to be an ever growing success since big players like rino cerrone and marco carola picked up his outings. for this latest release markantonio combines the >old< with the new and presents a wonderfull collection of established artists and fresh young talent. cisco ferreira aka the advent opens up this ep with nuttin but quality - followed by killian of the cobra label. maurizio vitiello is a new kid on the block and for sure one to look out for

well, well, well… d.classics returns again to spread the funky good news… whatever you want to call funky: sometime pure funk, sometime heavy soul, sometime discofied, sometime electro-ish, even sometime 80s… but sure its funky ! so here we are, on a journey proposed by non-else than parisian sensation dj almost. after years (and we mean yearsss) of heavy activism behind the wheels of steel, almost agreed to share with the world some of his own heaviest re-edits. a side, get straight to the core of two of his 80s fave, stripping them down to the clubiest, most mixable parts. boy! how deep are those bass & beats? perfect peak hour, decerning crowd s dancefloors! b side lurks more into the p-funk direction, with a huge classic winner, full of moog-ish bassline, female choir background voices, and deep dark male gimmicks. well, 3 more classics brought back to you by the dclassics posse

no other than chilean sunnyboy and groove scientist luciano is taking us on the a-side on a long ride of lush but infectious minimalism. eleven minutes strong, luciano does what he does best and unfolds a continuous flow of subtle rhythmic changes, melodies and field recordings to create an overall hypnotic feel that sucks you in right from the start. think his last ep on cadenza with thomas melchior and add an eerie feel to it. on the flip side the enigmatic duo eat (both integrat parts of the diamonds and pearls family) steps up for some serious dancefloor destruction. what starts off as a pulsating acidic techno-monster that creeps up from the depths of a pile of analog synthesizers, turns into a breakbeat chopping electro-jam that will leave you behind with bleeding ears and thumping hearts, before the track jumps right back to techno peaktime.

henrik van sivers actually uses hand claps, synth power and drum rolls and the result is purest, stunning 4/4 swedish disco music. for everyone who prefers the more minimal and dry way, the >meaty minimal dub version< will be just perfect. misc adds the necessary aggressiveness for the large-scale rave party, but still with loads of charme and esprit !!!!

program 1 sets precedent for bass and distortion by giving zero respect to gravity with its displaced click-clock. the plane is minimal, creeping and crawling behind disorientating moves. program 3 bumps and pans around unpadded walls, snapping and reversing itself into a twilight zone episode of darkness. closing out the session is program 2, a ten-minute throb that echoes with dulled-snares, muted hi-hats and tone pulses that allow the bass in as the melody. influences of hawtin s concept 1 and plastikman (closer-era) projects float along, but jpls (aka jeremy jacobs) draws his own perspective with subtle lines, disjointed rhythm and evolving surprises of tone

nice price deal !!! been around on white label for a few months, but now getting an official release. dj delicious needs no further introduction with his current dancefloor smasher same man john dahlbeck completes the package with his huggotron remix

d stephanie and philippo team up again for a fine set that mixes broken beats, soulful vocals and enticing melodies. freedom fighter will certainly become a crowd pleaser at parties, but the winner is c mon and give it a floorfiller for the clubs and the party anthem for the after summer of 2006

ruede grants us an unusual insight into his dogs life. the tracks teem a playful lightness but remain cool, the way it is actually supposed to be.. played by sven väth, luciano, bleed...

nice price deal !!! the infrequent recording career of rob rives resumes with this chunky wave tec 12 which provides for twenty minutes of nice n crunchy electronic house, often verging on the techno side of things. melody attack takes a while to warm up, but once the miasma of jagged keys,grindy synths and clipped drums reaches their optimum level, things can only continue to climb. counter attack is a dubbier eleven minute excursion along the theme of the a side

nice price deal !!! …next bomb on loco united, this time produced by brian ffar.the a side comes around with an uplifting and absolutly club guaranteed tech-house mover, clever arranged strings, deep vocal samples and a monster bassline.on the flip you will find a mix by skat, more minimal but not less danceble….if you wanna know something more about german girls…..here they are!!!

the members of my my met and became friends through common interests in music, but it wasnt until they ended up as neighbours in berlins mitte, that a lifestyle of committed partying, cake baking and long studio sessions lead to their debut release on playhouse >klatta< in early 2005. it was the result of previously downtempo producer lee jones (hefner) working and partying with local berlin djs nick höppner and carsten kleeman, who are residents respectively at panorama bar and watergate. following up their recent fantastic 12inch on circus company butterflies & zebras is beautifully tripped-out expansive ambient house, summer after-hours here we come! recorded live with nick and lee layering fx over the organic percussion as the mix develops. an acid infused bassline is slowly opened out as layers of lush strings and shimmering pads are teased into the arrangement. on moneybowl the boys show the more jacking side of my my. taught and lean with a groove that keeps on evolving, while weird and wonderful bleeps and clicks bounce around the mix. for the remix, john dahlbäck twists the pads from the original and adds his own synth stabs. then pulls out a bassline and arrangement that jumps straight onto the dancefloor

tombone 09 comes like a comeback of this great label. one of their best releases so far and with david k being just recognized by cocoon this cooperation is sure to get recognized. david k who is actually the engineer of various top parisian production camps, remixes dj did this time, new kid on the block but both surprise with three extremly fresh and delectable vibration electro house grooves, direct thick grooves total opposite to minimal boringness of some many platters these days. check out the excellent >electric wave< with its amazingly old school new skul vocoders. hit potential

yezz its us again vlad and rutch but now we are backed up by our brother salam e. and you dont wanna know why he is called likethat if you thought rutchov had a big one check out salam e. shit man its unbelievable oh yeah something about the records it rocks again

mindless boogie brings another 3 tracker edits bundle which sidesteps the obvious in favour of a more psychedelic approach. lead track >joe who< revisits >joe walsh - county fair<, but is completely re-arranged into an atmospheric instrumental. first track on the b-side is a re-edit of >faith healer< by >the sensational alex harvey band< with a lot of additional production. theres even an acid line! next on the b-side is a slow and sexy track originally by saint-tropez. why this hasnt been sampled yet and turned into a huge r&b hit, remains a mystery.

according to dan curtin: this work shows history and knowledge of the music that inspired most of what we listen to today. every track demonstrates a rich and thick production that perfectly compliments the musical contents. ranson definitely pays homage to the sound of the detroit originators but still displays his own direction and identity. this is future soul with emotion unbound to our planet. so far full support from dan curtin/ fabrice lig and funk d void!

for their debut release on wagon repair, the lazy fat people have blessed us with two stunning new tracks. one deep and hypnotic and the other up-tempo - both are great for the dance floor. expect nothing but the superb production they are known for. the wagon repair team is pleased to have them aboard, and we welcome them to the wagon repair family

the sweetversion of let’s get down is based on a basic spanish guitarmelody with uplifting vocals and funky hihats. the funky guitar even gets a little outof tone sometimes, to give that real 12 inch feeling to it. the low bassline combined with the stabbing kick delivers a groovy summerfeeling to the track.the original mix is a powerful clubrecord with an electro twist. especially the fatchunky bassline puts the dance floor to work.the groove remix started out as a experimental version of lets getdown but the vocals were so catchy, playectra decided to produce a more groovy version of it. the rawsounding guitar and crushedhihats makes the track loose his sweetness to give the track a stronger and energetic feel. the long break in the middle of the track pushes the track to a climax. the filtered guitars and loud bassline makes the track a little bit french sounding

paris producers guillaume atlan (the supermen lovers) and gregory louis (aloud) have recently joined forces to form new act moto signed exclusively to cyclo records. taking their influences from 70s californian funk - rock bands and icons like stretch, chicago, prince, ac/dc, they develop a style of their own, adding a touch of electro to their live instruments (guitar, bass, vocals) to deliver sexy, uplifting tracks. >heartbreaker< their first single contains that genuine positive rock n roll attitude that will make you jump off your seat while driving a convertible car on a desert highway. >who cares< on the b-side in a more spaced out way but with that added 70s funk treatment will take you to the next lost motel where you may not find anyone but a dog to talk to. motos debut ep, have been selected as part of the soundtrack of eric lavaine new screenplay >poltergay< (out october 26th in france), a comic production where gay ghosts make the life of an ordinary, newly established couple quite difficult...

anders trentemøller, the shooting star of 2005, needs no further introduction. he has been stringing together hit after hit, most recently the -nam nam ep- on poker flat which offered an initial insight into his upcoming album -the last resort-. now the new 12- brings the first full-blown single outtake. the featured album track is -always something better – a vocal version featuring richard davis - and has a calmer, almost dreamy mood compared to the club tracks he s released. an easy-going groove, some wonderful celesta chords (hand-played by anders) and the typical trentemøller sound melt with the outstanding vocals by richard davis, who already graced swayzak s -speak easy- on k7. furthermore, davis is known for his longplayers on punkt musik and kitty-yo as well as an array of singles and remixes.a brilliant track with a beautiful atmosphere.of course the a1 slot is reserved for the -trentemøller remix-, a true dancefloor anthem. a kicking bass drum, quirky sounds and the -trentemøller twist- make this a real summer hit. while the a1 mix is a reduced vocal version, you ll find the -dub mix- on b1. to top things off, the one and only matthew herbert contributes his very own interpretation on the -bubble mix-. he disrupts and rearranges the original sounds and song structures to create a new unsettled, but fascinating soundscape

in the wake of raudive aka oliver ho (podium 1) comes amsterdam native shinedoe who with her 2004 debut >dilemma< (on 100% pure) instantly accomplished what others never achieve: respect and support by the likes of väth, hawtin and villalobos. her style: straightforward, strictly functional detroit techno - with an essential and effective touch of soul. as her debut album is expected for september 2006, we may catch a glimpse into the near future with her track >amsterdam meets berlin.< here, she does what she s best at. she uniquely creates atmosphere with just one chord, relying on the power of harmonies. but watch out. when the dreamlike vibe leads to a sudden change of keys, we re all puppets on her strings.

the track loud minority is dedicated to alex dallas loud minority residency in zurichs great club dachkantine, which closed down and was a home for great guests such as carl craig, pepe bradock, juan atkins, metro area, herbert and maurice fulton to name just a few. they all inspired us to create music which incorporates all our beloved music and combine different style elements to a fresh and maybe even a typical zurich sounding way. with dessert you can fade away and feel the ability of foster to take you into his simple but at the same time very sophisticated form of musical expression. kanona does what the title suggests. all tracks are flavoured with a great detroit feeling there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it.

with this release on drumpoet he presents kadena,a track which already acclaimed much attention by the likes of âme and dixon and creates a fresh symbiosis between disco and detroit. an emotional and bootyshaking tune which can take you higher and make you want to move it. on secret playground he goes into the more dubby side of this ep and provides a deep minimal excursion with a warm and almost cinematic feel. lexx is a musiclover so his spectrum is huge, but all we can say is, that this man knows what he does and there are many things to say about this record but theres nothing better than listening to it

holy robot! with a blaring bassline that suffocates the snickering vocal snippets and trickling clicky noises that sprinkle the sparse but strong arrangement, this one-sided powerhouse steers the trembling floorsters straight into oblivion. wickedness straight outta potsdam. with their third release, this new eastern german imprint takes minimal to maximum level

the sixth sequel in the traffic signs series convinces once again with its special signature sound. dry, acid-driven, stripped down but featuring enthusiastic structures and well-chosen sounds, this is what traffic sounds is all about.>coming down< on the a-side is a lively acid-packed track. opening and closing filters, delays and loads of nice effects make this a more than useful peak time weapon! >back on crack< on the flip brings a heavy dose of pushing chords, fizzing open hi-hats and cracking snares all around. don t take the track s title too seriously!

p. diddy may have, ahem, >invented the remix<, but now berlin s vakant label is turning the concept on its head - using the remix to (re)-invent the label itself. vakant r is the newest addition to the imprint s crowded house, alongside the parent label and audio-visual offshoot vakant x, vakant r rounds out the minimalist trinity with a stunning debut release featuring mathias kaden and onur Özer going head-to-head in a no-holds-barred battle of the remixes
