parisian label my love is underground calls on the service of kool vibe, a veteran dj & clubber from paris. although now in his 40s, this is his debut release, but to hijack a well worn phrase, its been worth the wait. mr vibe has clearly spent many a night on discerning dancefloors, and the three tracks on offer here are produced with the steady hand of someone who knows their way around a house tune.

go disco! a call to all who fall in love with the song >sue is blue<. everything is focused on the slow, but swinging groove, including individual flashing fragments of the 20s. a dirty house music base drum pushes this track towards the dancefloor. the piece >offshore< takes you on a journey with its epic, modest and balanced mood, which turns out to be a dancefloor sensation. >teheran traffic< is speeding up the tempo. the b-side is determined by a powerful sound. just as the >far from here edit< by philipp wolgast works well in the club.

clandestine techno/house imprint, meanwhile records reveals a one-off opus from two highly respected techno producers, niels luinenberg (delta funktionen) and samuel van dijk (mohlao). the deeply mystical >inward content< session represents the leuwarden sound of their native north holland (also former home to another master of hypnotic repetition ((of the graphic type)), m.c. escher) with an elegant, classically informed and deeply refined brand of 4/4 also identified on celebrated 12inches for ann aimee and delsin. the albums six tracks use an economical production palette, but we wouldnt call them minimal. the emphasis is on subtly monotone melodic shades, from the rippling black masses of bass which power each track, to the bluest hued pads and unfathomably expansive atmospheres which lend them their spectral grace. listening to this album is almost a mystical experience, like hearing the results of a seance conducted in low-lit surroundings calling upon the spirits of basic channel, convextion and the black dog circa 1995. >inward content< took over two years to assemble and techno connoisseurs can clearly discern why. recommended!

planet rhythm celebrates release 80! dj preach is what you can call a techno veteran. he recently re-invetented his techno sound and drops 2 brilliant tracks for planet rhythm. you can instantly hear the man is a well skilled producer. with ultrasharp sounds and a perfect end mix, this is techno that will move the dancefloor. for the remixes we have planet rhythm regulars spiros kaloumenos and a.paul. both need no introduction, you know they are both killing it on the dancefloors worldwide!

kitsune maison 11 >the indie dance issue< will be out worldwide on may 16th with rare and exclusive tracks by is tropical, creep, peter & the magician, housse de racket, polarsets and many more!

ed davenport follows up his >curtain call< ep for nrk music with a new 3 track ep titled >more red lights<.

this killer ep from samuel dan starts as it means to go on with the massive sample loops, and has been custom-made to keep those hands in the air. an infectious, bouncing bassline ebbs and flows through the track, while the tight percussion will keep those feet pounding the floor. octad and phiorio take the controls for the third track. their remix of wake up call is stripped down and funked up. like a prime larry levan cut, funk, disco and house collide but without the mix ever becoming cluttered. the elements are used sparingly and to devastating effect. last but not lease we get samuels original mix in which the brass instruments take centre stage, with trumpets heralding deep bass grooves. they are going to be rocking this one down in the treme. bring on the summer! to finish off this ep in style, heres the floor-filling back home. its immense builds and eminently catchy hooks are guaranteed to spread smiles across the dancefloor like a disease.

marco zenker, the wonderboy from munich is up and looking for freedom again with his second record on ilian tape. invisible shadows was discovered by ourselves on the last ilian tape warehouse party back last year. when we heard it the first time on a big system - even marco himself - we were pretty surprised. its building up slowly and leads into a very open space - the perfect track to give the night another direction. remain silent after you heard that side and open your ears for the b side that sends us into a different sphere. here we go down. you almost can call that cut a meditation hymne - it has the same vibe as osho ashram s back then hosted by f. fuhlert. finally we have a tripping remix from one of the hottest dutch guys at the moment - conforce. known for his releases on meanwhile, delsin or rush hour he shows once again why holland is thechicago of europe. its just free spirited, soulful and openminded. qualities we are missing here more or less in bavaria. so we are trying to open up and change things. the time will come. kiss

the ever evolving ever inspiring argentinean turned berliner musical talent that we call out nico purman, once again honors the house of vakant with his latest disco inspired offering to the gods entitled visions ep. in such a short period of time nico has come so far both physically and meta-musically. within just a few releases one can easily hear him developing, maturing, and mastering his chosen art medium. from the mechanical tech funk of his tuesday ep (va017) and euphrasia ep (va025), to the space jazz masterpiece that was rhapsodies (va032), his first step toward disco was in fact with his contribution >xpress yourself< to the family values compilation (va034). with visions ep, once again nico effortlessly transgresses whatever style he wishes and makes it his own. taking a few pages from the book of disco as well as a touch of chicago and a pinch of early new york house, nico both tips his hat to those influences as well as taking things several steps further to create something completely original.

we kick off 2011 with the latest collaborative plate of bristol-based build badness – label boss baobinga cooking up two what-do-you-call-it tracks with one of 2010s breakthrough producers, the man they call hyetal. starting 2010 with a huge punch drunk release alongside shortstuff, hyetal further refined his sound through collaborations with peverelist, and the massive prince-tastic anthem >phoenix< on orca – which can be found sitting proudly at number 36 in fact magazines tracks of the year run-down. with some big releases due in 2011, and more velour beats (with julio bashmore) on the way, we are very excited to have him involved in a build release.

siriusmo, der seit einer dekade auf verschiedenen berliner labels veröffentlicht und mit remixen für scissor sisters, gossip, chikinki, simian mobile disco, boys noize, digitalism, chromeo, munk u.v.a. ein beachtliches repertoire vorweisen kann, liefert endlich ein komplettes album ab. seine musik beschreibt der ex-graffiti-künstler, der mit stevie wonder, den beatles & hip hop aufgewachsen ist, als futuristisch. nicht jedoch dem heutigen bild der zukunft entsprechend, sondern eher wie man sich die zukunft in den 1970ern erdacht hat: übertrieben, ausufernd, improvisiert, farbenfroh, extravagant und offen für alles jenseits der eigenen vorstellungskraft. >mosaik< ist eine ca. einstündige musikalische zusammenstellung unterschiedlichster musikalischer ideen und stilrichtungen. futuristisch, vielseitig, überzeugend und einprägsam!

supported by: sebo k, laurent garnier, Âme, jimpster, hell, deetron, marc romboy, doc martin, robert dietz, catz n dogz, willie graff, martin landsky, ian pooley, d julz, adultnapper, dirt crew, lexx, jef k, trickski, andre hommen, iron curtis,.. essen-based band festland get the remix treatment by innervisions marcus worgull and mild pitch head honcho manuel tur. festlands music is based upon beats and sounds used in dj culture, but played with a drumset, bass and keyboards. lets call it krauthouse. they sing german lyrics written by a friend, the painter fabian weinecke. the bands latest album >welt verbrennt< received critical praise from the german press, making it into zeit magazines list of 2010s best albums.

blackrose records is back with its fourth release.also supported by luciano,butch,hemanez,marco faraone,mihai popoviciu,mirco violi,daniel sanchez,dave spoon,khaan,horatio,brothers vibe. sami wentz surprises us with this huge release,on the italian label blackrose records,that is def o showing some good work and growing fast.

vibrations 002 comes from lhas, aka jaime read, who is here to show all these new old-school house heads precisely where to step off. a longtime cohort of foolish felix, who was horribly ripped off by a chicago legend (just google it) and the man to go to when you want _that_ vintage synth sound spotted, jaime knocks out four tracks that arent retro – they are timeless. from the classic chi-jack of >learning to live< to the swirling syncopation of >call that jazz<, these four tracks eschew rigid programming and live, breathe and ooze musicality. no remixes, just 100% lhas.

serious new wave techno from the bcr boys.

composite family welcomes feygin, a guy influenced by prince, the beatles. louie vega, jimpster, herbie hancock, jazztronik, dop, will smith, billy joel and woddy allen. he loves anything that flows smoothly, whether its into his ear or into his belly. feygin comes from a family where everyone played some sort of instruments. yet, he never learned to play anything himself. about 2 years ago he decided he will make dance music, or his own interpretation of it. so far he is doing well. you can call his style an eclectic mix of dance music and its various sub genres. as long as it grooves, feygin is on it. at some point in his life, he d like to be able to collaborate with real live musicians, and really push dance music to its boundaries

pop ambient returns. kompakts beloved series. this is our other arena of bliss, always curated and carefully compiled by label co-owner wolfgang voigt (aka gas). somber times call for more introspective sound scapes - >pop ambient 2011< continues its mission to slowly persuade its signature sound introduced over a decade ago. this year we see the series leaning towards a slightly darker complexion than its predecessors.

dj roc, known to his mother as clarence johnson, was born and raised on the southside of chicago better known as the low end. the crack in >crack capone< refers to his style of production. like an underground chemist, dj roc produces variant strains of chicago juke music, the crack referring to the synapse snapping, potentially ankle cracking manipulation of rhythms and the sampling, hijacking and ultra-rhythmic micro-editing of black american pops dominant forms into a style thats been developed and tested on the streets of chicago.

i dont think i know, or heard of, anyone who share the same obsession in searching obscure disco records like kool dj dust (real name daniel savio). call him at any given time and he is in some flee market or second hand shop on the look-out for records. he even got an apartment just for his collection.
we talked about the idea of re-releasing >un-googable< music, old stuff that is not only very hard to find, but also so good that re-issueing it is an actual cultural necessity. dust tossed around with a few ideas and finally these three songs made the cut. we are very happy with them!
we hope you are too. we are also happy that we have the support on this release from so many djs. some of them being rune lindbaek, in flagranti, tim sweeney, horse meat disco, 6th borough project, parlour, dj rocca, bonar bradberry, parlour, hugo capablanca, cousin cole et al.

mitzi are a 4 piece of awesomeness made up of dominiqe bird, jad lee, charlie murdoch and cale suesskow. they all hail from australias most laidback and sunny city brisbane. some people call it brisvegas because its sexy too. after playing in various killer bands such as bmx (2009 unearthed parklife winners), comic sans (2010 unearthed st jeromes laneway festival winners), charlie why! (recent bang gang 12 inches signing) and the gallery kiss all the dudes have united to create some genuinely exciting australian music. the three tunes on >all i heard< fuse the sounds of garage disco, nyc indie and the light heartedness of australian pop. jono ma (lost valentinos, tracy thorn, teenagers in tokyo) mixed the record at ewan pearsons studio in berlin and made all those trumpets, snares, keys, whispers and vocals sound ridiculously tight. future classics history has always been rooted in bands and were pretty stocked to be getting back into it. plus its our 50th release!

fresh 2010 repressed ...played by stephan bodzin, loco dice, troy pierce, oliver huntemann, oxia. after several strong single releases of the voltage musique stars now the guys have combined their super powers and sparks are literally flying. in line with the motto -les amies- they share the results with their best friends and unleash it into the clubs at the best party time of the year. four tracks, four facets, four sure shots. the floors are pre-heated - bring winter on.

12inch full of music with a definite sense of place. eerie synthesiser pulses, funk-infused drums and languid guitar-scapes have been part of the musical topology of düsseldorf since the early seventies: and this particular release pays full tribute to that legacy, with jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag) comprising an eerie piece of swampy lazer-forest rock. this sound is also a modern day staple of düsseldorfs nightlife at the salon des amateurs, a small bar attached to the kunsthalle art gallery that is an oasis of hypnotic disco nightmares. the salon is where der räuber und der prinz made their first live appearance in 2008 (when the original composition for moogwalzer was debuted), and both members of the band frequently play there: ralf beck with his bodyrocking club act unit 4 and sebastian as half of art-rock duo noblesse oblige. meanwhile two of the guests on this release - detlef weinrich also known as toulouse lowtrax, contributing words about a ghostly maiden on moogwalzer, and thomas klein contributing drums to jagd auf den hirsch - are both original members of the quintessential düsseldorf act kreidler. salon dj resident vladimir ivkovic also had a hand in the creative clarion call for the jagd auf den hirsch (hunt for the stag). to complete the circle, düsseldorfs new resident and desolat mainstay guti wrote his remix in the middle of the night in buenos aires, as a kind of letter to his new home-to-be. there we have it: a true tribute to a city we love, with tracks for the dancefloor as well as moments of melancholic contemplation.

nice price deal !!! as 2010 draws to a close, low res records makes one last shot at the buzzer with a veritable milestone of mayhem - the 23rd enigma in the shape of a new and long overdue dj adjust record. >release the sharks< is four tracks of abusive speaker therapy constructed in the spirit of recreational headbanging most would call haptic technology for heshers. possessing the demonstrative power of potential that pokes at the ear pupils, the new adjust record is a leaning tower of rhythmic inconsequentials that cast a dark shadow over the deliberate composition of controlled chaos.

born in romania in 1981, mihai popoviciu is one of the most talked about newcomers in the house and techno scene. but to call him a newcomer is a misnomer. mihai has been releasing quality music for years, on labels such as gigolo, level non zero, brise, diynamic and, of course, highgrade. since 2007 he has sworn allegiance to the highgrade flag, either alone or with production partner markus homm. he always has the ability to surprise with his music tracks produced straight to the point with no unnecessary fluff – just the uninhibited thrill and euphoria of dancing seems to empower his work. after a busy summer season playing in the clubs of europe, he is now back to work in the studio. and so comes >trapped in brakets< with three brilliant club tracks of outstanding quality, custom made for the dance floor. if you dont believe us youll have to hear them for yourself. turn up the volume and close your eyes! for those who still want more, mihai popoviciu will be releasing his debut album in may 2011 on highgrade records. time to get excited and warm up the legs for maximum dance floor effect!

dimitri kneppers (1967) music career reads like an encyclopedia. a house encyclopedia. after 23 years of spinning records you could call this dj a true veteran. known for his enormous sensitivity, true feeling and mixing skills he gives you the sense you are the voyeur of an intimate act between two lovers. the music and the man. but nobody ever felt and looked so comfortable behind the decks as dj dimitri, for he brings the crowd at ease like don juan would do with women. when ecstasy is no longer just a word, but a true magical moment as the crowd, the surroundings and the music all come together in one hypnotizing state of happiness. this man knows -or should we say feels- what he is doing, not only behind the decks but also when producing. in september 2007 dimitri said goodbye to his headphones to work on a farm with mentally handicapped people. fortunately for his fans the break wasnt premanent in the middle of last year he installed a studio in his home, then this past june he returned to the decks - now he makes his planet e debut with a stunning track already tearing up dancefloors. included is the first of two remixes by carl craig. a second ep with remixes by orlando voorn and carl craig will appear in early 2011
