under the radar ep big with: carl cox, funk dvoid, jamie jones, luca bachetti, slam, nick curly, paolo mojo, kiki, dario zenker, trickski, geddes, chris carrier, jeff samuel, davide squillace, lee burridge, luke solomon, thomas schumacher, solomun, chloe, shinedoe, nic fianculli amelie is the newly born production outfit sophie oliver & claudia lovisa, already a highly acclaimed duo on the dj circuit. their names have been on everyones lips this year for the dynamic and stylish way in which they bring adancefloor to its knees. on this their first ep they team up with supernature founders audiofly for a two tracker that will certainly raise many heads in the techno and house scene. ‘move employs clever drum patterns with an insistent looped female vocal working the track into a groove that never lets the listener go. ‘generous for one has a similar smoothness in its production but in a more driving manner. the surprise in it comes in the way of some jazzy keys half way into the track that will uplift the crowd to another level. hot romanian starlets livio & roby get to work on ‘move with a very current interpretation. this amelie v audiofly ep is proof that claudia and sophie have the talent and charm to put them ahead of the game in very little time indeed.

the epic emotive opulence of lilois enough to handle, but remixes from satoshi fumi and chris fortier might just send you sprawling. >lilo< its bigger than ya mama.

mysterious and most of all vinyl only whitelabels seem to be the call of the day. if they are as good as this one here i have no doubt - this trend will stay our fried. open produced bassy and sweat boxing, slamming chicago - detroit- chicago style house with great piano chord and slight pitched atmosphere. somehow between early chez n ron and roy davis , dj pierre, kerri, mood2 swing, nu groove, kot. now ive almost named them all. oops… . sinister but oh so sexy!

after a one-sided promo release earlier this year, here are the massive remixes of gold, diaz & young rebels – >open sesame<. following their big success with the felix remake “dont you want me” last year, this time they worked on this classic by leila k. after the thomas gold & francesco diaz mix is already causing some serious dancefloor madness over the last weeks, get now ready for two remixes of some heavyweights of the international house scene. on the one side, we have eddie thoneick together with his buddy jens mangold, delivering a driving progressive peak-time bomb with a huge 2-minutes-break. on the other side, tom novy works with even more of the vocals and some strong old-school elements, but in a modern context. special rerelease

dortmunds very own ‚diskobär, the inimitable ante perry prepares for new double cd long-player extravaganza , flashing disco sounds, with two cuts exclusively produced with close studio comrades tube & berger. these hot co-productions between the long-time buddies simply cannot fail to get the party going. the overwhelming anthemic stir of human you is evident for the very start, but its true dancefloor potential can only be understood after the full ecstatic wonder of the breakdown pours out over a large crowd. super-constructed tech-discohouse is where its at in this high intensity, high drama, big room flashing disco monster. the curiously titled walthervondervogelweide on the other hand is a more brooding beast altogether. working the underlying tension and keeping the pressure tightly locked to the floor its a dangerous late night dancefloor workout... left in the wrong hands this could seriously damage your ability to leave the dancefloor! finally fellow dortmund heavy-calibre producer peter jürgens works his remixing magic and twists human you into a housed up, long building affair that operates on a more stripped, subterranean level to begin with but bursts out above ground with carefully timed energy. warm driving beats and pads layer to reveal the identifying melody of the original.

kevin alves better known as gift, originally from chicago but living in denver, became the resident dj for silver saturdays at soma at only the age of 18 and held that residency for 2 years...djing alongside the likes of sandra collins, chris fortier, nick warren, timo maas. with previous releases on pure music, vapour recordings & lost language. gift currently holds a residency at denvers club lotus and has now signed up to the baroque label group! melody laided house music is the key to his sound & learning the art captures the sound of now perfectly. complete with heavier mixes from blue room project & echotek, this is a massive package from method!!

a deep mixture of raw funk, oldschool house, bass, more bass and some kind of a dubstep vibe... the title track pressin on goes straight on dirty bassline moves crossed by dedicated trumpet sounds while the second cluster funk got tricky clap programming and lives up to ones name. on the flip humongous and driftwood are not less funkier but both are with some kind of detroit house appeal and impressive minimal ruffness...

a double a with two slices of bumping broken french fonk akedam and apprendre from the lyon based producer who has been making some noise online over the last couple of years via myspace and ampsoul radio in particular. he has recently produced a track for maspyke (abb) mc hanif jamyls summer release krushed grapes but this is his first solo vinyl release.

after the success of apple pips 1st release from martyn, we are back with another treat for music heads.. our 2nd release comes from brendon moeller aka beat pharmacy brendon. on the a-side under his real name, brendon has created an 127bpm big room classic, submerging the original elements under layers of delay and echo, deep but grooving…on the flip he dons his beat pharmacy guise, slows things down to 120bpm & spaces things out in fine style, utilising the originals abstract riff and resetting it in a really exciting new house tempo context.. with releases coming on rekids, third ear, & deep space and remixes for echospace and others coming up it looks like a great year for brendon and pips is proud to present this exciting clash of styles…

clear yellow vinyl! >ammo dump< once again from the dread camp serum comes with another dance floor smasher. with a subtle build-up and complementary vocal sample, this track explodes into a mighty bassline. serum manages to work his magic with a simple roller, but trust me, this is to hurt those bassbins. inspired and taken from the dub dread iii compilation of various artists, this is a lovely slice of dread cake for you to taste and savour

incl gorge & nick curly rmx.. pierce & twirdy team up as s.c.a.l. for their 2nd ep on yellow tail with a tremendous deep but forward thinking techhouse tune

plays : luciano / dubfire / beyer / shinedoe / hell... next up on leftout is maverick producer sergio munoz otherwise know as delete. at only 20 years, venezualan born sergio has definately made a name for himself across the globe already with releases on such labels as frankie and safari electronique to name but a few. more recently he has found success on dubfires sci+tec imprint with the massive flight schedule.

after the huge success (60.000 copies) of „,sucker“,, dim chris is revisiting the famous „,self control“, by laura branigan (1984) together with thomas gold. electro house, slightly porgressive: all done for being a broadcast hit, but with remixes done for the clubs.’,

like many of us over here at bear towers, giorgio sancristoforo aka tobor disco experience has an unhealthy interest in the 1970s - the instruments of bob moog, vocoders, alan parsons - the cult sci fi series space 1999 - and here hes used the decade as a sonic palette to create the kind of ep that gets the whole office (ie: both of us, on pcs at home, occasionally) sitting up and listening. opener disco moog has already been used on our rools for rules compilation earlier this year and had many beards twitching at the prospect of forthcoming vinyl. shooting star is a more uptempo affair with blissful chords, slap bass, disco handclaps and gios trademark vocoder. i feel loved is a personal favourite of stevie kotey with anthem written all over it. this awesome clavinet workout has such a good vibe about it you cant help feeling nothing but loved. it could easy be mistaken for alan hawkshaw super rare bruton library track.

limited upfront promos, asante records are back with a massive new release. japanese touch is gracing our pages this week. yoshihisa hashimoto lived in new york for five years from 1998, immersing himself in nys underground house music scene. he still considers new york home but returned in 2003 to bring his new found style and music to tokyo. his ny influences have combined with his tokyo roots to creat e a unique style, guaranteed to keep the clubbers happy and into his music. yoshihisa is organising, promoting & djing at “,breath tokyo”, one of the best club nights in tokyo and leading tokyo under ground house music. the location is club air, one of the top clubs in japan. well known for an impressive back catalogue of worldwide artists and djs, air creates the perfect space for clubbers to lose themselves in the soulful music. its also arguably japans most famous club, thanks to the movie lost in translation

mystery surrounds hot new electronic property burns. his myspace suggests a friend and fan base consisting of the likes of calvin harris, dj mehdi, mr. oizo and mark ronson and by the sound of this cheeky white label his future is very bright. we cant say too much about these two tracks but what we can tell you is that both are guaranteed to destroy the dancefloor! heavy french filtered house is the style and boy does burns do it well.

itamar sagi from the be as one label really made a name for himself with his black gold track that was released earlier this year. inspired by the warmer and more emotional side of detroit techno he very much captured something real and true in that song which certaintly paid off in the end. here he has done something a bit different. not less good though. actually better. this is a record for those moments when you need to increase the pace but still wants to keep the soul. perfect!

d. diggler aka andreas mügge is back ! this time not on planet vision but on pascals new label: level non zero. blessed with a father who is a jazz musician, andreas started to play the drums at the tender age of twelve, and joined his father in his jazz combo. soon he realized that his future is not to play in a band but to make his musical ideas become reality through the necessary midi equipment. his first release for raum...musik boogiemonster hit several dj charts, club charts and was played in heavy rotation on hr 3 xxl. so did the following releases. d.diggler s first album was released in april 2000 on cd and vinyl, its sound range varying from deep to technoid-slamming. since then he can look back on 45 releases and 20 remixes and is a dj + liveact who playes in the first league. on level non zero he shows us with three new traxs his variety: from „hypno-techno“ (drehmoment), over deep tech-house (deepdown), to dub-house (control). we remember the old raum...musik times...

the clubby summer season of 2008 is just about to explode and the creme of electronic dance music is all but departed to their summer positions. while already packing their suitcases, jesus loved you crew still found time to release yet another in their grand series of records. the occasion was right and so was the choice: what better way to start the rockiest time of the year then to make public this exquisite collection, put together by one of the ibizas finest! guys like wally lopez hardly need to be introduced: playing with the most excellent and producing for the best position, wally lopez is widely considered to be one of spains leading deejays and producers. although he is working in london most of the time, mediterranean temper still runs through his veins always making his music sound positive and cheerful. in wideband wally lopez gives way to his love for bouncy rhythms and dramatic bridges taking us on a journey through his ever-changing soundscape. with a fine touch for the more relaxed ambience of summer partying, he keeps his base line low and gives way for his exciting melodies to develop freely

nice price deal !!! receiving major support from the likes of tony humphries, cj mackintosh, danny krivit, johnny fiasco, richard earnshaw, mark grant, colette, nicolas matar and much more...its rare these days that a song can rock the dance floor while maintaining quality and integrity but also leave you inspired by the message in the music. life is the music is a prime example of this combination. londons sonny j mason has done just that and delivers a refreshing uplifting vocal with positive meaning. this song has the right combination of energy and soul to make you move while singing along, because tomorrow aint promised, so dance, cause life is the music. miguel migs salted dub deluxe strips it down and moves into slightly more techy territory with a bouncing bassline and dubbed out cut up vocal snippets. miguel migs bump the tech dub delivers a breakbeat groove with a gritty electro ish bassline filtering in and out while layered sweeping synth pads glide on top. the original version is a midtempo soul stomper with classic hip hop and r&b flavor. accessible to radio and club djs alike this song has definite crossover appeal.

bomb the bass is back! but put away that smiley face, this is no nostalgia trip. with >future chaos<, tim simenon revamps his long-running project to produce a record thats fresher than anyone might have expected from an outfit that got its start in the 80s.

more jackin house from phil this was originally on a robsoul ltd release that sold out in a week last year but now back on an official release a must have !! limited backstock

the fifth release on frown recordings is a collaboration between sorgenkint, salva and the hardtechno hero boris s. it s called >voll drauf< and features 3 totally different mixes and styles. while the >salva mix< is more techno influenced, the >sorgen mix< surprises with a freakin acidline, and there s last but not least the >boris s. hardtechno remix<. guess what style this is

originally released on magik muzik, it is now back where it belongs, with umek. the original mix package was a trance djs delight, with mixes from tiesto, oliver lieb and dj montana but to celebrate the return, umek has taken a different route and drafted in a remixer who is in a terrifically rich vein of form right now

support comes from rolando, josh wink, len faki, samuel l session, dj 3000, chris fortier, estroe, vince watson and many more.. after a long holiday, quince is back in business. the genetrix ep includes thre e great tracks, that form a wonderful follow-up to his previous release on music man from last year. techno, but funky. detroit, but up to date. deep, but with an eye on the dancefloor. its pure bliss, its quince.

quitefrut is born in berlin from the collaboration between fabio della torre, a half of minimono and the parisian dj mattako !!

this brand new and long awaited follow up 12-inch single release by off the record is finally here! its been quite a while since their first release >robot gang ep< (sen-003) came out and took the dancefloors by storm. all the wait has been well worth though, as this talented duo is back on track with their trademark rough & raw drum sounds, killer breaks and bridges. such elements can be found directly from the starting track >tel aviv – japan<, which combines nicely minimalist techno / house sound architexture with simple, yet effective groove, and it grows humble and slowly to reach up its peak moment what goes like: splash! in ya face! there you have it! guaranteed to lighten up any dancefloors, it s dangerously explosive and has amazing flavour on the rocks! having said that, on demand producer and remixer ran shani (crosstown rebels, breastfed, cr2 records) was kind enough to contribute his absolutely fabulous and fantastic remix work of >in your mind< track. he pushed the track to the next level and came up with a truly club oriented pulsating dance track with extra crispy and tasty beats. rotating 360 degrees panorama effect on female vocals coming in as the track rolls further right after the break is surely enough to explode some minds on the dancefloors. watch this man out! perfect end to an extended play here is the only track offering a mini lovestory: >shes lost her mind> is a true and cold hearted, crucial story about a tech savvy clubgirl falling in love in a binary world full of zeros and ones, finding computers and turin machines sexually more attractive companions to better have fun with rather than getting accustomed to that old fashioned missionary position carried out by her human boyfriend. floating, dubby and rather melancholic, but definitely not a sad song! but one thing is for sure regarding that twisted story after all: someone has truly lost her mind somewhere along the way …

entertainment is a duo. im a cliché is proud to release their very first e.p on september 29th. juan de guillebon is the bass player. he studied a lot jaco pastorius, but decided not to spend the rest of his life playing in jazz rock combos. you can easily guess his attraction to no wave bands (suicide or james chance), krautrock (his faves are cluster), or ebm and early electro (daf). alongside, hes part of the ectoplasmic band, performing as backing band for tigersushis boss joakim. antoine montgaudon plays the guitar, and we bet he would have fit perfectly in any brian enos late 70s recording. he builds endless psychedelic atmospheres with feedbacks, loops and fxs. all this only with his guitar. hes also part of my sister klaus, a project released on tigersushi (again).

our music is a secret order. but we are not rich powerful men in suits planning how to get even richer. nor are we dressing in capes performing occult or religious sermonize. we are no elite trying to separate ourselves from others. no, we are ordinary down to earth people. what unites us is that we live and breathe music. it is our passion and our drive. and it has been like that since we discovered that music must be an expression of the human soul. or as jason fine puts it: in my opinion, making deep music is not possible without a strong internal connection between the user and their feelings. ultimately the end product is a reflection of what the user was feeling while making the piece. i think its important to listen to your creative flow and respect it -- i dont try to make music when im not feeling it, because guaranteed the result will be bad. it all boils down to what im feeling at that particular moment in time when i create a piece. with these words we welcome you to the first full length album release on the kontra-musik imprint - our music is a secret order (louis armstrong, 1954). producer is greatly talented newcomer jason fine, who released his debut ep on omar-s fxhe label last year..

ampler 12inch a. linda law/nights in white satin b. chris&cosey/walking through heaven after the first mix cd of force of nature force behind the power, one of the biggest vinyl collecter in japan kza (one of force of nature) came back with his first solo mix cd. last mix cd was like a part of thier usual peak time selection in the club, but this time, kza mixed his favorite and typical force of natures cosmic style. its from a lindstrome,the release of eskimo records to john daly as more underground selection and some his favorite old stuff like a b.w.h., chris&cosey. on the sampler 12inch,first time reissue of underground french disco linda law/nights in white satin. original french press 12inch was mega rare.but this song is simply good song,not like only rare

a fresh addition to the moodmusic roster but a longtime veteran in the house-scene, alexander maier aka dj all*star from stuttgart is well known from his earlier releases on buzzin fly, exun and criminal records. he began his career playing underground techno in south of germany but over the years became more and more influenced by detroit and chicago house. you can hear these influences on sahara in both the rain and river version. deep and reduced grooves with enough soul and atmosphere, yet fully functional for the floor, sahara rain kicks in with a heavy bass sequence building a perfect platform to be followed by the synththeme which hit s the peak hour perfectly. i see some hands going up here already… sahara river starts more housey, building a classy, low-slung huge groove with perculating synths and almost tribal feel to the drums. the modulating synths lifts the track to new heights with a break of superbly layered twisted pads before the drums kick back in in full effect. as this would not be enough we asked our thrusted chicago connection and alexs buddy, mazi aka audio soul project to remix sahara rain. if you consider people who s been in the biz for some time mazi is one of the warriors of the sound, never choosing the easy way but thrustfully following his true way of house music. and house it is, classic but cleverly updated to 2008 with a twist of so-cal thrown in for good measure. bouncey and jacking is the words which comes into mind when hearing this, excellent work and a another bomb for the hot months to come

the 3 jagged guys come from a different background, but they all love and live quality music for many years already! so the best time they have cooking things up in their studio – and as a result, it sounds like >hello kool nice<. analogue equipment plus the mpc, thats the sound of jagged and quintessentials 02: organic, raw and real! the remixes courtesy of colognes harry swinger & dc (rushhour) with an old school deephouse edit and man of the moment quarion (drumpoet community) with a great summerish uplifting rework are pure dope too. essential

once again, tuningspork records ventures away from its trademark funky house in exchange for something a little more unexpected. last summer, the label issued >free your mind< (tsextra), a baleraric groove crafted by jay haze and ricardo villalobos. now comes another non-sequitur: >comptine d un autre été: l après-midi< (tsultra), mr. tiersens piano composition reconstructed for the dancefloor by jay. french composer yann tiersen has a minimalist approach that many electronic producers could learn from. his piece (the title of which roughly means >nursery rhyme of another summer: the afternoon<) provides the basis for this melancholy track. djs addicted to hyperbolic effects plugins might hesitate to play this - but those who appreciate subtlety will be rewarded here. tiersens original composition is tastefully manipulated into a track that makes sense in a club context, yet sets itself apart from the usual techno/house fare, providing a rare introspective moment on the dancefloor. and it might be worth mentioning: if you play this track and the floor doesnt fill up with ladies, then it probably means youre djing at a gay club. (not that theres anything wrong with that!)

mysterious artists are always a good topic for discussions. deixis is such a mysterious person, prefering to stay unknown. but it is his music that speaks to us and the message is clear and direct. already introduced to the label rooster with his track called, states of flux, for aw-010, the viewpoints compilation, we are happy to have him on board with his first full 12, release. running his own label abstract forms he stands for deepest dub infected detroit techno. some might say this is oldschool, and maybe they are right, but we dont care. its beautiful deep melodic techno as we love it! featuring a remix of the track, the hour of the soul, by label owner arne weinberg

200 limited copies in white marbeled vinyl additionally available. mysterious artists are always a good topic for discussions. deixis is such a mysterious person, prefering to stay unknown. but it is his music that speaks to us and the message is clear and direct. already introduced to the label rooster with his track called, states of flux, for aw-010, the viewpoints compilation, we are happy to have him on board with his first full 12, release. running his own label abstract forms he stands for deepest dub infected detroit techno. some might say this is oldschool, and maybe they are right, but we dont care. its beautiful deep melodic techno as we love it! featuring a remix of the track, the hour of the soul, by label owner arne weinberg.

its house but not as we know it! young david, aka dave young, chose his artist name as a reminder of what it said on his office door before he took some time out in the summer of 2006. swapping the office for what an estate agent might describe as a cosy basement studio in stockholm, he now sits around making beats all day the fuji ep is musical adventure. bridging the gap between soulful and minimal and blending crunchy mid-tempo party beats with intoxicating two-tone, jazz and dub flavours. equally at home on the dance floor, ipod or lounge stereo, the tracks have a sense of space and depth and, above all, a real musicality which comes not (only) from the pushing of a few buttons, but from a lifelong quest

i get deep, i get deep, i get deeper. that should actually read he gets deep. dj roland clark, that is one of the rulers of the sermonizing vocal, roland steps up to the pulpit once again with his latest release, black in my soul, on king street. this man not only has black in his soul but also an excellent sense of humor, including the ability to work it into his productions, and thats something we all have time to appreciate. swedish producer extraordinaire tiger stripes pumps us full of his dark fuel creating an intricate, nicely rhythmic and dancefloor dramatic track. his dub vox retains its deep and dark stature but twist synths rolands voice into a fiendish narrator. west coast producer david hernandez funkifies this tune on his deep west mix but keeps the deepness well intact. say it loud and dance proud!

remixes by kollektiv turmstrasse, noze & apparat !! raz ohara and the odd orchestra received critical acclaim for their self titled album released earlier this year. they may have not been the inventors of their unique style, but the danish patrick rasmussen and his german cohort oliver doerell have certainly helped to redefined the idea of what an electronic musical album can, could and should be. just as artists such as bjork, portishead and booka shade have done so before them. following up their first album single, kisses, this is offering with four other tracks from the album that get the remix treatment courtesy of apparat, kollektiv turmstrasse, nôze and raz himself. it was only a matter of time before one of razs tracks got the 4x4 treatment. kollektiv turmstrasse have showed respect and kept the spirit of the original alive. keeping the original guitar and vocal arrangement intact while simply adding a little bump and shake to the mix. raz shows us that things can be better the second time around, as he continues to proclaim his, love for mrs. rhodes. although he does not trade in his melodies for a kick and snare, they are certainly more prevalent in this dramatized mix complete with arpeggiated synths and additional sound effects. hopefully, this time he will win her heart

for your electronic summer fun kerkhoff & prinz shove three loose techno grooves on your plates. >contract< relies on an oldschool offbeat bass, but with its funky percussions and noises and nice reverberated melody it becomes clear soon that no one pretends to be a badass here. with its wobbly bass and little follies, >orange< stays in this vein while >mann an bord< enchants us with relaxed perssions and funky snares and would definitely shine brightly in any house set.

big with dave clarke, karotte, the advent, paul dailey and aldrin (singapore)! marco bailey might be a global player since many years, but he has never forgotten about supporting talent from his belgian home ground. on the next mb elektronics marco is introducing davy dee from liege with the track >koala<. its supported by two wicked remixes from redhead (red factory, terminal m) and joseph capriati (cmyk, frankie).

here comes the first smasher from mr. dane flash whos already well known by remixes for the whiteliners, avantgarde or sm trax. up in my soul is a superior pumping electro house track underlined by impulsive vocals as usual on l.m.e. this release comes up with a huge remix package including a the whiteliners mix for all minimal fans, a big room mix from manolo and last but not least a funky house mix from steve wish

hardtechno & terror tracks !! cannibal sublabel domestic violence presents its 5th piece of aggresive mayhem. this time lexis thrashes everything around him and leaves nothing but victims. he takes everything he wants, puts it in a blender and claims it to be his property. all resulting in a piece of vinyl that will make your ears bleed. not for the scary amongst us... show what you are made of and dare play this out in the clubs

presenting melbournes ultra-band inverto for m-division premier release. featuring their live cover version chip es seminal house anthem >time to jak<. also included the balearic mid-tempo twinkle-house jam >lean to<. last but not least the synth saturated epic rework by disco maestro brennan green

continuing the spectacle that is the poker flat tournament series, we present two more surefire lessons in dancefloor mechanics. after his last storming >zeitgeist e.p< for poker flat, londons very own dark knight raudive aka oliver ho has crafted a powerfully hypnotic club tool that truly exists within its own world of unique and unmistakable sound. carefully executed beats roll forward as an astounding landscape of colourful vocal suggestions and emotions swirl and evolve. its a heady, uncompromising track that certainly stands out as its own, but could complement many different dj situations, from driving peak time sets, to free-flowing after-hours sessions… heading up the opposition for looks set to be a fine tournament indeed, minimise head-honcho and continual key-player donnacha costello brings things down and dirty with his unforgiving and foreboding >i must be going<. a catchy proto-acidic bass line snakes a winding path through a dense atmosphere of late-night paranoia. perfectly crafted beats push the energy along with a casual swagger, whilst the pleasingly tripped out vocal undertones leave the imagination to run wild

the man behind some infamously amazing and joyful live sets, a successful first album for musique risqué, a great ep for oslo, and a brilliant debut on circus company with petit djinns-including the underground hit >sous l arbre<, guillaume & the coutu dumonts is now back on cc with >i was on my way to hell<. a delicious two-tracker for different moments, covering two distinct vibes perfectly. on the a side >i was on my way to hell< is a jam that bubbles over like a volcano with a marvelous synth pad melody building along with a gospel preacher sample. all the while a heavy groove powers away underneath- he’s got the secret! on the b side, we are taken to a more quiet but still melodic environment. >can’t argue with silence< opens up with a rolling bass line, a simple refined groove, and then gradually sprinkles tasteful acoustic hits and ethno-styled synth stabs on top. close your eyes and feel the heat of an >arabian night< inna guillaume & the coutu dumonts house sylee!

dj support by adultnapper & matthias kaden !! after his last release on hello?repeat, cabanne is back to make the room and refill the minibar. one year of sailing from bar to bar helped him to distill new unexpected liquors. jesse garonne is an absinthe mix, while f.key would be some good old rhum… the flavor is stupendous and unusual at first but effect is guaranteed, hot dose of deep groove >à ma facon< that brings a crazy, jazzy hot spirit which lifts of the tunes to the insane! it includes a great rmx from john thomas and his wife barbara. a great opportunity, after releasing >funky time< on the milkshake compilation, to bring minibarians a new dose of strong funkster. the hatched sounds and voice brings perfectly the groove…

kindisch is now eighteen releases old, and its mission - to uncover new talent, and to provide a platform for producers to evolve and experiment - is more passionate than ever. this time, the reins are handed to sascha braemer, aka hirtenfellner, and philip bader, who build on the promise of their releases on sup dub and get physical. >mamba drums< is, as its name suggests, a percussive, latin-tinged affair, with sweeping builds and heavy drops, layer upon layer of locomotive percussion and a skeletal four-note vamp designed to whip the listener into a state of frenzy (and sure to be successful in this aim!). a male vocal sample pervades on >thrill<, this time more gruff, more laconic, and edited so that the words become another percussive element rather than carriers of meaning. deep whirlpools of delay open up below a surface drift of jazz-tinged chords, from a minimalist sound palette bader and braemer paint a vastly evocative, effusive picture that will transport the listener, or dancefloor, to a strange and addictive place. >put your arms around me<, implores the soul-infused vocal sample on b >around<, over a yawning vista of synth chords bridged with sibiliant snares and subtle but earth-moving edits that leave no doubt as to braemer and baders mastery of dancefloor dynamics.

the new release on the mojuba sublabel features two classic and timeless moments of dutch techno music. the main track >spadet< was also one of the chosen tracks for the legendary x-mix by kevin master reese saunderson on studio k7!, and even after more than a decade since its original release, there are still goosebumps while hearing the magnificent sounds of that tune! the b-side might be less know but it still captures that special feeling and the power of true detroit techno which never left our hearts. the whole package was remastered to today’s standards by no other than the sound connoisseur monsieur redshape!
