kicking off 2008 with something fresh and new from a brand new signing to the label. first up this year on re:connect is a full on vocal led breaks monster from the genius pairing of australians karl sav and nikita. the original version is up first, a full-vocal affair with crisp but meaty beats, a tasty buzzing bassline, and searing synth lines. remaining a little more laid back to start with, this one builds and builds throughout and is certainly one to get the ladies moving on the dancefloor. on the flipside comes a stomping 4×4 remix from fellow australian dopamine who strips back the vocal to its main elements, adds a pounding beat and twisting bassline to great effect. this ones for all you crossover breaks/house fans out there!

respected uk remixer and house producer charles webster rips into one of the most played tracks from dennis ferrers hailed album the world as i see it. how do i let go started out as a soulful r&b tune but charles turned it inside out. on his club mix, charles removes the soulfulness and injects a more electric lounge flavor. his deep mix is just that, a profound pumpy, warped & heady affair. both mixes put a whole new twist on the single and are ripe for the early or late set.

as the labels starts rollin, jörg henze delivers the next chapter of energetic, but slowed down techno with his two tracks >devon< and >carbon<. beside loads of samples and fragments, both tracks are driven by powerful basslines and grooves. expect support from all performers not afraid of spinning high quality techno in these >reduced times<

cut the crap, straight to the essence. lizm04 is among us, essential dancing and listening courtesy of ahmet sisman, our own private istanbul/brussels/essen connection. some pure dancefloor pleasure hidden in a-side track hiyan, multilayered, quirky luvly trippiness: one surely aiming for the boxes of djs digging the onur ozer vibe of late. the other side (why call it a b-side anyway ?) goes for a slightly deeper approach, guzzling in the vibe of a few hours later down the line in your favourite afterparty .... but hey why not just use the authors own words to sum it all up : this is surely: >dance for the moment<

new release from one of the major portuguese artist, dj vibe. some call him the danny tenaglia of europe, but he needs no props or associations, only listen. incl peter bailey remix !!

nake sharco is not the name of a mean, dangerous bounty hunter with a big-ass mohawk and bizeps like ox thighs but stands for the unexpected collaboration of premium canadian techno auteur mike shannon ( cynorsure ) and spanish purveyor of elegant deephouse and loudeast label boss nacho marco, who are nevertheless out to nail down some punters and lock them on the floor with this powerful 3 tracker.

claude vonstroke returns with his first original record in over a year. this time he partners with long time friend and upcoming producer, christian martin. this is a melodic hybrid of techno and house with influences as far away as drum n bass. the flip side features a remix by super hot producer gabriel ananda and newcomer alice rose. they playfully twist the main theme throughout, sprinkling in stabs to the constantly building groove. many people have said the original record sounds like a follow-up to >whos afraid of detroit?< but we will let you decide what to think for yourself.

hyperdub kick off 2008 they way they intend to proceed, with new tracks from a new artist. on her debut release, ikonika comes with her own very unique, warped yet soulful bleep sound. with shape shifting beats that switch styles every few bars its hard to pin these two tracks down... cos if it was easy, it just wouldnt be hyperdub. both tunes are one minute minimal, one minute maximal, driven along by ikonikas special combination of wonky synth and deep swingin sub bass melodies that place them somewhere between an early, blocky grime instrumental and the sweeter side of detroit techno ? except with better bass of course! who needs a vocalist when your synth can sing like this? quite how kode9 manages to keep unveiling new producers of such abundant talent is a conun drum, but one to be cracked some other time when we?re not so busy keeping up with his astonishing labels ceaseless march into the future.

nice price deal !!! the beats are kept minimal but strong, with some glitchy madness worked around them!! includes hauswerks remix!!

the bass heavy >mallorca< is featured in remixes by mood music head honcho sasse and composts newcomers marbert rocel, while llorca from paris has turned >incredible< into a club banger. the brothers javi and luis aka wagon cookin are lucky buggers. their recent album >2faces< is getting tons of props from illustrious supporters like osunlade, king britt, laurent garnier, rainer trüby or llorca. then christian prommer picked up their first single >start to play< and conducted a true remix masterpiece reaping even more flatteries from ben watt, jimpster, ashley beadle, markus enochson… in summer time you can find the guys chillin on their favourite mediterranen rock: mallorca. they like this place that much that they even made a song about it which turned out to be the best kept secret from >2faces< - a bass heavy groove monster and deejays fave which finally sees its well deserved release on vinyl to be played out loud in the clubs. and as this wasnt enough reason to celebrate, mood music head honcho sasse lindblad and french connection ludovic llorca (of f-com fame) check in to deliever top notch remixes of >mallorca< and the b-side track >incredible<. last but not least compost newcomers marbert rocel join the gang to make their debut as remixers, and the result is quite impressive - althought their version of >mallorca< is a little bit more dancefloor orientated than their >speed emotions< album material. enjoy!

radiuss 20th release comes with 3 boogie friendly cuts with deep new york disco influences, delivered by italian duo supersonic lovers. if you like to boogie on funky analogue basslines and gently house your body on deep intoxicating grooves, this may be the perfect radius cut for you. the supersonic lovers cooked a tasty dancefloor dish, tastefully blending deep house flavours and disco funk spices. fans of metro area, idjut boyz and mudd will surely like this! nero boogie could be described as an electric funk work out on a house trip and driving on broadway has a smooth ny disco flavour. summer sweat leans a bit more towards italo disco, but the sweet rhodes chords give it a laidback daydream disco feel. delightfully sweet boogie nights disco!!

when i first started making the drum on my mpc it sounded like a battle of drums i then added some stabs from the machines, trying to make it sound like the oldschool chicago tracks. this track is all about editing, drum programming and of course the inimitable tap repeat touch that only the mpc can generate. the end result is ninted house, a pure floor killer for all you real house heads. the clash is not a reference to the band but i felt the track goes well with ninted house it has the same mpc groove. stabs and hip hop sampled voices that remind us of those kind of tracks, where editing and sound mixing are more important than the musical elements. its that breadth in house music that i love. enjoy those two floor killers and dance ur ass off! franck roger

a very special compost release with two very rare tracks! the a-side features a great remix of beanfields >tides< with amazing vocals from bajka - of course its not quite up there with the unbelievable carl craig mix but then that would be an uphill struggle. ripperton from the lazy fat people adds his moody, deep slant to the track, less anthemic than carl craig but a more than welcome alternative. this mix was available for a short time as bootleg with ricardo villaloboss remix of depeche modes >sinner in me< on the flip and sold out quickly despite the poor sound quality. finally, one year later, this great tune sees it official release completely remasterd in chrystal clear sound - get it, play it, love it! in 2006 the duo tom wieland and marc frank - better known as 7 samurai - crafted a fine remix of invisible sessions under their panoptikum moniker. when michael reinboth considered this remix for his new future sounds of jazz compilation the guys decided to contribute even a little bit more: an excusive new version which became a definitely highlight of the whole compilation. the panoptikum 2007 remix surprisingly takes a leaf out of innervisions book for a smooth deep houser with a slighty techy sound and a touch of detroit in the vein of Âme or henrik schwarz. in contrast to the vocal version included on fsoj this 12inch features the trippy instrumental version. ace stuff! two must have tracks - all killer, no filler!

williams is back with a brand new 12inch for get physical, el baile. the lead track immediately enthrals with its galloping kick, snare and analogue bass pattern, before a typically williams-eque, fat but understated electro motif, phased chords and crisp percussion edits propel it onwards into the heart of the dancefloor. >the unbearable truth< is a thrillingly modern, moody take on the straight-up acid track. a devastatingly simple, bending acid line lies at the heart of the track, but its the way the uncompromisingly linear beat and one-note bassline play off it that really makes this track fly. house music to get lost inside. >kiss of life< sounds every bit as vital and reviving as its title implies. its beauty lies in the intricate and expressive interplay of synths: beginning with a lowslung melodic motif, a more nimble, staccato bassline emerges, before the deep, kosmische-style chords arrive ahead of a powerful breakdown into heads-down techhouse strut.

taken from the forthcoming album !!knives was produced during the album sessions, but works best as a single for djs as its a massive club track. paul woolford has been the track playing in every set recently. this is the first single to be released from >the truth<, paul woolfords new artist album, and this is the only way vinyl fans can get hold of tracks from paul woolford presents bobby peru >the truth<. knives is purpose built for sound systems the world over. direct floor techno with some quick edits and quirky touches.

as a label you sometimes get demos in that make you listen up right with the first beats. >deep valley< and >to the groove< by silent hill are one of these rare examples. a high production quality and massive, powerful beats leave no doubt, heres an experienced engineer at work. man behind this project is long-term producer thomas kutger getting the assist of evil concussion. two tracks as different as complementary – >deep valley< attends to the deeptechy fields whereas >to the groove< is more of a housy affair, but both with an enormous pressure and bassheaviness to set both dancefloors and sound systems on fire.

sometimes, its still worth not to waste your youth with nonsense but to learn to play an instrument. like in the case of sebastian mullaert, who has learned to play violin, organ and piano, while his partner marcus henriksson rather came from kraftwerk and human league to electronic music. as son kite, the two swedes have already a well-known name in the psy-trance scene, and as minilogue, they now start to conquer the minimal and house world. with their rather unique sound, they manage the tightrope walk between minimal and trance and never allow us to put them into a drawer. especially with their debut on cocoon rec, minilogue present themselves in a different way, compared to their releases on traum or wagon repair. >jamaica< is a calm track at the first hearing and is perfect for building up a set. beginning with bird-like sounds, the track builds up slowly and quickly becomes very interesting and tricky, ramifies as organic as a climbing plant, and when the tribal sound emerges from the underground, this track has exactly what makes minilogue so special: organic matter and groovy sounds, worked into a minimal labyrinth with very much love for the details. all of that can also be found on the b side which seems to be more adequate for the morning hours, with its somehow spacey sound. with >jamaica<, mullaert and henriksson prove that they are floating on the very surface of the endless minimal ocean. and with their album >animals< being already in sight on cocoon recordings, one can be highly anxious of what is coming ahead, by minilogue and techno made in sweden

the aa comes with a similar atmospheric intro to the a side but with more steppy beats which take us to the drop, where metallic sounding beats infuse with mid range filter sweeps and a punchy synth bassline.

its been smashing clubs worldwide since the summer! nightrhymes deliver this addictive infectious club rocker. the standout vocal just sticks in your head and will have all singing along! it was destroyed venues worldwide from pacha funky room right through to hong kong and australia. dj meme gives an essential uplifting hands in the air club remix. alfred azzetto reworks this into a deep techy. steve of soulbasics fame bumps up the energy into a europhic electro dancefloor stopper! nightrhymes give 2 mixes, the club mix is a deep, dubby, bouncy affair whereas their space remix offer something for all the main room cats! the full package really does offer mixes for all tastes and crowds... support has been from all leading angles of the dj world including: dimitri from paris, franckie knuckles, purple music, le roi, panevino, matt caseli, andy ward, dj rocco, yass, christian hornbostel, audiowhores, graham sahara, central avenue, mr mike to name but a few few....

with his now second release on mauritius, marc vision might still be a newbie to the label, but definitely not to the scene. apart from being an experienced dj since ages with a deep bond to germanys superclub >tribehouse<, he can look back on diverse releases as vision & canedy (on scuba, avalanche, plusquam & hadshot rec.), vita (together with trance pioneer taucher on labels such as tracid traxx & on a mission), visiontool (together with marc o tool on andry nalins label superfly rec.) and finally as marc vision himself (on mauritius, poison, underworld & earregular rec.). >obsession< leaves no doubt being a sure floor filler. subtly but effective the track begins with a deep bassline and develops into a kooky rave-house-monster. >the finest< on the flipside tackles things deeper and more atmospheric, but when a bulky bassline suddenly says hello half way of the track, the unmistakable command is hands up!

the original mix is an eclectic, blend of brooding atmospheres and jagged, prickly synths with a techy feel!! david west sticks to the experimental theme and retains the vibe of the original but through a cocktail of groovy bass stabs and beefier drum effects, creates a chunkier, more dynamic sound

a brilliant 3 tracker offering on the a side with >dawn of the stallion< a sureshot. superb shuffling groove, solid synthsignals and a nearly classic pianochord. thats all but thats oh so effective..

the rebirth of finalfrontier has brought some new friends within the production circle. carola pisaturo is a long time friend from naples, she has been djing around since 1997. her sound is warm and funky but still very technoish. >passione extra< is a perfect example of her skills. to celebrate this first collaboration with the neapolitan artist, marco passarani steps in with a re-work of the track under the moniker >bass-a-rani<, adding his characteristic synchopated techno beats to the original version.

with organic keys combined and more tech-influenced detroit elements, this four-tracker is moody but danceable, featuring slick production and tight drum programming. the ep has already found immediate support from such diverse names as olivier desmet, kerri chandler, fish go deep, lawnchair generals, luke mckeehan & more

last but certainly not least we have the bugs remix of harrowdown hill – with downbeat skippy dubstep beats and an eerie ambiance. techno don surgeons version of the clock is a pumping dancefloor masterpiece. and the field strip down cymbal rush into a late night, hypnotic deep techno ambient track.

for fans od richie hawtin !!watch out! this one going to be huge. italian artist rico casazza has a varied musical background of classical, soundtrack and dub, but his core interest is quality, 4/4 techno. his style centers on deep atmospherics, bright as well as stoned melodies and lazy ambiences, with a subtle twist of tension...

incl reboot remix !! wareika is the collaboration of henrik raabe and jakob seidensticker, both specialists in dub techniques (voidcom / ministry of sound, jubilee rec., ostwind rec, lebensfreude rec.), jack-of-all-trades florian schirmacher (philpot, cadenza, perlon, poker flat) and michael hank. >men village< – their first production as a collective - comes up with almost 15 minutes afrorelated drums and percussions, accompanied by warm analog-synth raster scanning and highlights, served on a pushing, strong-force but simple beat, that carries one’s body and on and on. reboot – the below and cadenza artist reduced the original to its more rhythm-based elements and added his typical trippin percussion twist

a two track 12 inch of electrifying, catchy and simply deep underground music. side a, espac ( the shorter name variation of espace), is a funky, moody and cosmic sound sculpture that fits well into the minimal tech category. this track contains a bass-laden brass morphing sound which converts to a more trumpet horn like sound. the loudness and resonance of this lead sound will definitely grab the attention of the audience. strings from outer space, claps with a live funky feeling, shuffled hats and a radioactive background noise >wicked!!! side b, f.e.b., contains more morphing and electrifying hi pass resonance chord sounds. these sounds are combined with a warm stringful waving wall sound, a heartbeat like pulsating bass line and a simple offbeat playing open hi-hats. this track is relaxing but exciting at the same time which is sure to pack the dance floor!!

another bomb that will definitely not make it through airport security undetected. explosive kicks serenade a nasty acid line over a signature dalessandro-style vocal. this peak timer is no holds barred techno armageddon. new york based clink rec artist elon makes his debut appearance for the siteholder team with a storming remix. twisted effects, a unique take on the vocal, and a pulsating bass line define this hard-hitting approach. fearless in its pursuit and certainly without any room for prisoners, this re-working of >are you there< comes out of the gate sprinting and never lets down. another successful new york-chicago connection has been made. rounding out the ep, brian ffar follows up his highly successful >ballroom hustler< ep with a take on the single reflecting his cultivated production style. an atmospheric tech house approach reveals well-placed synths over the drawn out vocal from the original. but dont assume this is child s play, ffars kick drum isnt afraid to pummel a club systems subs. the avalanche inducing bass line that follows caps off this fifth siteholder record with a very clear message: >are you there< is serious business

after their first various release with artist like barem ,sierra-sam, ditch and marcus vector, nomor is back with an entire artist ep, this time it’s redwan, the man behind indigp magenta net label and roman photo records together with sarah goldfarb, no need to present the dream team. this four tracker is like a tripy walk in marseille his own town… sometimes up sometimes down but always hot ! with a funky techno groove in the head. we like his fx, we like his bass, we like his dark side and we like this perfect peaktime record !

supported by 2000 and one, anja schneider, jesse rose, loco dice, shlomi aber, trickski, tobi neumann, to name a few.. once again theres a real nod to the old school here in a track inspired by arthur russell. rich, warm analogue pads and subtle fx flashes from the space echo build an enchanting groove. the intensity gradually develops with sounds slowly evolving, lending a deep hypnotic feeling to proceedings, until the chord progression opens out and you cant help but smile. a genuine end of night anthem and when dixon does his own edit you know your onto something special... version: double for your money, with an extra version of the original that doesnt open out into the full stabs and maintains a deeper groove. martin landsky remix: with a tight, tribal tom pattern and straight ahead groove martin landsky achieves a darker more spaced out feeling with his remix. he pushes the pads to a dubbed out climax without fully opening out the progression and this fully hits the spot. martin landsky has been making waves as a dj and producer since the mid-nineties and is one of the key producers at steve bugs excellent poker flat recordings and running his own intim records.. hes compiled many mix cds for labels such as poker flat, systematic and the partysan compilation series. his debut album was >in between< for pokerflat and since then hes remixed the great & good as well as producing several stunning releases and jetting about with his box of records

incl. kollektiv turmstrasse mix, after a while of absence johnjon returns with his 2nd solo release. johnjon started his musical career in electronic music working together with experienced producers in the studio, but in the end it was never satisfying for him. so he decided to lock himself up in the studio and dont come out till everything is right. he just got out of there and delivers the this stunning track. meanwhile is hypnotic and moving, groovy and a little trancy but definitely emotional. the breathing pad cuts through and the small but define changes make everything fit together. a perfect combination of a catchy theme and a solid groove. the remix is delivered by kollektiv turmstrasse, already known from successful releases on labels such as connaisseur rec, diynamic, ostwind and musik gewinnt freunde. christian and nico (kt) took the pad and squeezed out a groovy houseline, fit it into their beats and added a little bit of funk outcome is a wicked release. it is released on the label >baalsaal<, the new sophisticated label, the public transport of emotions

incl prins thomas remix !! killer alert from blackbelt andersen... this fine former techno producer and co resident at the full pupp nights in oslo deliever yet another unexpected slow burner, but this time keeping it simple, building the track around a nagging acid groove. prins thomas adds some disco chic on the b-side and.... you should just buy this... ps: blackbelts debut album is just around the corner

clark drops his excellent new album. dont expect the lullabies and emotional epics of the last album body riddle, turning dragon is a smasher. hard, deep, continuously evolving and gritty tracks, aimed at contorting your body on the dancefloor or just contorting your brain. this is an album that you could almost call techno, but techno with the a.d.d. detail pushed as far as it can go

back in march 07, drag city issued rtxs second ball busting album, under a title that we all really loved and you did too. but the man! the man came down on them, telling drag city that in a court of law the album with that title would be struck down and that they must cease and rethink. thusly armed, drag city went to rtx and told them that a rebirth was at hand. fortunately, they were up for the change - and ratx is the inevitable result! containing the exact same contents as its former self, ratx has the additional benefit of being released in a super limited vinyl edition.
