its been a while since the last rsb release, but then tracks like this dont come along every day! for their first vinyl appearance on a label other than their own, enigmatic german duo ancient methods do the honourable thing and break out the whip, a track that comes across like a 2-step party in the foundry of thor himself. lets lazily label it anvil techno, because as far as we are aware no has yet invented a genre that adequately desribes music such as this. and as we have come to expect, much the same can be said of the evil sickness that is eat like hawks by bjorn svin (with a little help from karsten pflum, jona olesen & copyflex!). it starts like it means to go on, with a gnarled loop and indecipherable distorted vocals, and is gradually tweaked and augmented to the point of destruction. all manner of ill bass, overdriven filters, zaps, clanky drums & feedback join the party before the whole affair is brought to an abrupt end by the strange foreign lady that we have come to know and love over the course of the track. truly music for small, sweaty, strobe-driven cellars.

dj rubbish samples any sound he gets and spits out any rant that comes to mind for just one reason - because he can! interludes proudly brought to you by project brothers.

marco petralia: his sound is deep, dirty and twisted – his dj sets are energetic and impulsive! as bigcitybeats resident he played already side by side with international dj stars like george morel, roger sanchez, steve angello or mark knight and further is responsible for mixing the very popular bigcitybeats compilations which hit the top ten of the german compilations charts each time they are released. marco can refer to a row of successful releases on labels like open bar music, miss moneypennys and of course bigcitybeats. the baggi begovic remix of his last single >getting deep< got massive support from roger sanchez! without exaggeration you can call >breaking all the rules< marcos best release so far featuring stunning vocals by the young and beautiful us singer taleen marie and a bunch of rocking remixes from superstar d.o.n.s, uprising newcomer cold n what, abel riballo & dj kds and robert heart & christian gimbel.

adam beyer returns to mad eye with a storming two tracker. keeping it deep and funky and a little bit druggy, beyer takes us on a swirling journey with eerie synths and dubby bass. this is definitely not a record just for a techno frat - you will definitely see cross over to the tech and deep house boys who yearn for something a little bit tougher in their sets. once again beyer can do no wrong as he cements himself as one of the biggest names in techno today. sickeningly good!

first seconds into already 27th release on recognition, and we immediately know that there is serious business going on here. stunningly complex drum track goes like clockwork, only setting the scene for what is to come. forget the craft of drum programming - we are talking another dimension here. >modern dance< is like being suddenly dropped into suspended animation: having that peculiar feeling that the world around is accelerating to the verge of a seizure - and at the same time this very world feels so slow... unnamable, transparent sheets of sound almost give no room to breathe - but ones breath is taken away by the magnificent landscape it s about to appear. shapes shift under half-closed eyelids, and while the low, peaceful yet sad chant comes in, one can feel it like an omnipresent breath, burning hot and marble cold at the same time. this mysterious and heart-wrenching voice comes courtesy of one yula, and were gonna surealy hear much more from her in the future. and it seems that the beats literally start to boil... rhythms shuffle and swing, and taken the lack of floating melodies abundant in jaceks earlier output this track is even more outstanding from theproducers former work - probably acting as a bridge towards new visions, appearing in the confidence of the new, almost-perfect studio.

the new, first time ever on vinyl 2lp reissue of a long way around to a shortcut is somehow a greatest hits of the golden not quite decade of sic alps. well, not quite golden, either. can gold be tarnished? can it be done on purpose? if so, sic alps are artisans of the highest order - for their music is the bright, surging sound of ye olde rock & roll radio (and the garages that tuned in) heard through air darkened with specks of nameless obstruction. in and amongst their ingrown sounds, sic alps take on classic tunes from strapping field hands, throbbing gristle and the zipps on a long way around to a shortcut. it is to their credit that they completely absorb their estimated predecessors and create the only sound left to them: the sound of the sic alps. a long way around to a shortcut was issued as a cd in 2008. it collected songs that were first issued throughout the epic years of 2006 and 2007 on two 12inch eps, three 7inch singles and a cassette, plus a song from a compilation cd r and a song exclusive to this compilation. the records were originally given titles like united, strawberry guillotine, semi streets, hip hop sweepers vol 1, teenage alps, and the soft tour in rough form, but all these original releases are long gone.

moleculez returns to meta4 ready to clear dancefloors with some of his most destructive material to date. you know you are dealing with some serious dance music when none of the tracks on a release have vocal samples. the opening track, future in progress, is blessed with a wonderfully deep kickdrum that would probably even sound good at plus20, although we havent tried that yet. out of a nowhere the track suddenly seems to have stopped when an eerie melody creeps out of the dark. this sets the tone for the rest of the release: dark, driving and threatening. gargoyle is the most driving. lava bomb the eeriest: and future in progress the most threatening. thats what we think, anyway. you decide. the last two tracks on this release are probotector and the haunted. the first is actual textbook honest to goodness industrial hardcore while the latter isnt really anything we can talk about here. highly recommended because we want to sell records

an excellent comilation if the fine future times label that has 4 tracks by beautiful swimmers, sensual beings, max d and protct u... as fairly unknown producers doing some shit hot disco funk and pure house tracks that would have been regulars in larry levans box, if he still would have been around. not sure where all these guys all of a sudden come from... but some seriously good music here!

after a little silence from rotterdams sound architecture label they are on a roll again! after releasing music by joris voorn, shawn rudiman, rejected (when they were still rather unknown) they bring up some new talented producers! the sound architecture guys are hosting some of the best techno events in the netherlands.. and meet a lot of young producers.. and here is another example that with good a&r even young bedroom producers can release some hot club tracks! file this under the hottest new school house tracks on the market!

as mnx recordings reach double figures they welcome the legendary alex cortex and longtime collaborator lopazz aka bad cop bad cop to the fold with a blistering 4 tracker of live, raw electronics aimed squarely at your frontal lobe aswell as the dancefloors! this work covers the finest elements of deep minimalism, industrial and acid, and keeps it fun with the feeling of a live performance, if anyone can try this approach and pull it off it s these guys! all the tracks are joined together by abstract field recordings from the london underground which add to the murky strangeness of this release! alex cortex has been putting out quality underground music for over a decade with notable and now highly sought after releases on source, klang, and pal sl, with more recent bombs being delivered on platzhirsch, pomelo and of course our very own wireblock! lopazz too has been busy releasing gems on labels such as trevor jacksons output and more recently get physical, were he has been getting a lot of attention, but it s when these two guys team up in the studio that the magic really starts to happen, so waste no time in getting this release because as always its gonna be highly limited!

amp is a bag inspired by the typical guitar amplifiers, most of which, have come to define the sound of major or more underground rock bands. we pay homage to this legendary machine, by using its image for synch’s largest bag. the bag has an easily removable internal shell, that protects the content, giving it at the same time the appearance of a real amplifier. at the back of the bag you can find a big pocket, extremely practical for immediate use. the amp bag can be used as shoulder bag or as backpack.type: backpack & shoulder bag dimensions: 39 x 14 x 31 cm material: printed pvc extra: large external pocket, removable internal rigid body

when two good friends share a passion and have the opportunity to collaborate to realize a dream, the results can only be promising. the dj duo >jacuzzi boys< which was founded in the beginning of 2007 by marc phillipp and florian settele stands for minimal deep beats with unique mixing skills and an exceptional performance. since mid 2009 both guys are located in the rhine-main area. with their first vinyl release >ramba zamba< on komplex audio in january 2009 the jacuzzi boys showed a small preview of their impressive musical talent. their next vinyl >check that body< on below brings a memorable killer, together with their buddy jens peters from the dj-collective >primitive visions<. b1 with the fluent vocals gives the impression to taste >guindillas< picantes. b2 is pure spanish percussion art with a relaxed attitude

strut present the story of one of the most influential and revered labels emerging from new york in the late >70s and 80s<, ze records. after the late 70s punk and new wave explosion in new york, ze became a by-word for the anything-goes culture clashes that typified the big apple during the early 80s. formed by french art student michel esteban and british journalist michael zilkha, ze quickly created its own unique independent universe, signing artists as varied as alan vegas electronic postpunk pioneers suicide, trash disco queen cristina and maverick producer august darnell a.k.a. kid creole. with estebans sharp graphic eye leading the labels visual identity, ze hit the new york zeitgeist head on and became supremely hip û in 1982, the face magazine nominated it ôthe most fashionable label in the world.the labels early success led to a deal with chris blackwells island records, which gave zes releases worldwide exposure and brought worldwide fame to kid creole, was (not was) and more. over thirty years on and ze remains one of the great cult labels of its time. with this new compilation, strut takes a snapshot of the many weird and wonderful fusions that surfaced on its famous nyc cab-influenced yellow and black label. highlights include one of the earliest outings by was (not was), tell me that im dreaming, a disbelieving commentary on reagan-omics, bob blankÆs short-lived disco supergroup aural exciters and a larry levan mix of kid creoles biting parable about corruption in the caribbean, theres something wrong in paradise. other featured artists include ze label regulars cristina, bill laswells material, kookie french experimentalist lizzy mercier descloux, and camp disco-electro icons, les garcons.

before you dive in the regular sales fodder i would like you to ask yourself this question: what if humans arent the only living creatures who can create & enjoy art...? well, meet a true & genuine artist at heart and take a minute for michaels story. totally moved and inspired by the life & work of michael, the silverback gorilla who talked sign language who unfortunately passed away in 2000 after a fatal heart failure, ronny & renzo produced this incredible song me, myself, good after the same titled painting by the hand of the late and great michael... may he rest in peace. ronny & renzo their original version is a 9 minute+ moving epic that not only looks back in sadness at the pain & horror michaels life started with when poachers killed his mother in front of his eyes. it equally celebrates the love & comfort, the guidance & protection he enjoyed while he and koko were adopted and lovingly raised by dr. penny patterson and dr. ron cohn. because of the serious and delicate nature of this tribute release we couldnt think of anyone more appropriate than dance exotica pioneers quiet village to perform the remix. these two extraordinary gentlemen lead you by the hand into the heart of darkness, to a meditative place somewhere deep in the jungle only they know of... after more than a year of silence, a new king kung foo release sees the light of day throwing the label right back in the leftfield disco game. these amazing recordings will not only have their impact on an ecstatic dancefloor but will also be the ideal soundtrack to a lazy sunday. enjoy! pressed on a limited quantity of 1000 copies and no chance for a repress, this desirable twelve inch with powerful cover art will be sold out in no time. but the most important thing here is that koko needs your help! so for each copy sold a part of your money goes to the gorilla foundation.

first extract from the forthcoming album >dreamer are you sad< to come out soon, produced by peter deimel (deus, the kills). limited edition 7 inch full of electric breaks and noisy guitars bullying the apparent wiseness and light melodies, calling on pretty convincing influences like can, robert wyatt, radiohead, or sufjan stevens...

computor rockers return after the worldwide hit that was computor interface (brk49) with another showcase of exactly how electro should be put together. all too often retro can mean dull and uninspired (or just lame plagiarism), but anyone who has been following ed dmxs career over the last several years will know that really isnt the way he plays the game. instead he understands the value of songs and melody... the beats are fresh, without a doubt, but it will usually be the tune or the lyrics that will hook you into a dmx production, the elements that turn just another electro track into something unique and valuable. and so it proves here, from the classic computor shock (which helpfully comes in vocal and instrumental versions for those who just cant do the voice thing) to the melodic and hooky electro-funk of how we used to rock and distributed processing. stunning as always!

enough of this featuring crap, the starring title seems much more appropriate for club siren luciana. as featured vocalist for bodyrox, the hits yeah yeah and planet topped club charts and led to her cheekily titled debut cd featuring luciana. further tracks with mark knight, super mal and martijn ten velden, have cemented lucianas spot as an electro vixen who can deliver hot vocals with a great track. turning her attention stateside, she has teamed up with richard vission & static revenger for i like that. remixes come from new boys meterhead who hail from la and are doing big things in blogland. the track seemlessly blends electro, glitch, rock and hiphop elements with an 80s feel that is both nostalgic and futuristic. limited edition promo get em while you can!!

nice price deal !!! due to heavy demand we are releasing a limited 10inch of the martyns >electric purring< and the all night long version of sideshows >television< feat. cortney tidwell. >aus music…all night long< as a title is not just a play on the timeless house music all night long phrase, it also expresses the musical diversity of the label. from the live dub of sideshow through to the layered, undulating techno of sian via the heartwarming, richly textured grooves of lee jones our aim has always been that you can play aus music from dusk till dawn… all night long

as house continues to take its stronghold over techno, even in berlin the epicentre of all things minimal, we gear up for a summer of ‘actual’ dancing over regimented arm pumping and head nodding. having impressed laurent garnier, m.a.n.dy, solumun, karotte, tg (tim green) and ellen alien last year with his collaboration with enzo elia, martin patiño caught the attention of true to form with his fresh, playful approach to house and techno and hypnotic percussive elements .born in italy, but with south american roots and now living in berlin, you can hear vibrant audio recollections seeping onto every groove. citing dali’s surrealist paintings as another creative reference (a nod to which is contained in the track title ‘the tempation’), you could say martin draws on the atypical compared to your average electronic producer.the result is the blissful simplicity of ‘sundays’ on the a side, percussive, sundrenched and a perfect am terrace lifter.on the flip side is peak time tech house groover ‘the temptation’ and a hypnotic, dub heavy remix of black dahlia (the original of which will appear on the digital only release) produced with long term cohort enzo elia. true to form, now in its 5th year, showcases tracks and remixes from such respected producers as pan pot, gavin herlihy, jesse rose, samim, pascal foes, mikael weil, justin maxwell, claude von stroke, subjekt, tom ellis, leif and more

the make up the break up is the first release on bruno pronsatos own thesongsays label. its the longest track in his catalog (38 minutes), and an even deeper excursion into his stylized harmony. this track was originally a track uncompleted while making, æwhy cant we be like us. revisiting it roughly a year ago, bruno began to reword it. what began as simple attempt to create an ep track out of it became a monster. what monster you ask? in a few words, the monster that is brunos love of musicality and sound design. muscially speaking, we are on a ride somewhere between a slithery house track and a drugged out night out in chelsea, new york in the 60s - and thats a good thing because we get the entirety of the ride: the ups, the downs, the clouded mentality, the broken heart and perhaps the mended one. its happy, its sad - its something that you can dance to, but most importantly, its music that we think you can revisit for many years, as it somehow reflects us, our lives. a playful and extended journey through love and disaster, or at least the soundtrack to it.

after releasing numerous classics such as novamens >lies< (with mr.pauli), the hasbeens >make the world go away< (with alden tyrell) and dreamdiscos >take me home<, the >dose< is back with another haunting solo lp on strangelife records. and this might very well be overdoses magnus opus so far. beautifull filmic melodies and tr808 beats tell us stories where charles bronson and john carpenter deal with sopranos mobstyle adventures somewhere in a cold war 70s timeframe. tragic, defeatistic drama only overdose can deliver!

when the two colossi of the bearfunk label get together you can be sure that creative sparks will fire and the disco grooves will ooze. and so we present stevie koteys and max essas new project, the cunningly titled soiree. as a taster for the upcoming treats we are pleased to release a four track ep covering the musical bases that the london and tokyo based pair intend to cover. the theme from soiree announces arrival in a big way. disco grooves meets herbie hancock with lee ritenour tints. real drums from dave barbarossa, jazzer keys and some nifty fretwork from max. overgroomed slows things down to slo-mo speed and mixes japan/mick karn-esque fretless bass and layers of percussions and beats

portuguese based social disco club (aka humberto matias) delivers some laid back mediterranean spiced disco groove. >the way you move< sleeks along with sultry keys, latin groove, lazy percussion and all the flavour of an early-evening island vista. maia adds his tastefully high catchy vocals to round off the vibe. up on the edit is our pal greg wilson who re-jigs like only he can, creating a more floor based mix. the original is all about the great vocals whilst new norwegian disco-don diskjokke gives us his late 80s balearic sounding re-rub.. its ibiza 88 all over again.. drop the deal friends

dan quin has spent the last 10 years of his life mapping & mastering the animal & natural world of his promised land, the bottom of the earth, the south pole, antarctica, >the end of the world<ùand apparently producing some of the newest in dark analog driven techno & house. determined to create what he called >an artistic testament to the great antarctic expanse,< quin employed the recordings on his 1st 12 inch release, the haunting and epic >at the end of the world.< we can only hope he continues to labor away in his igloo of inspiration, hearing further calls of primitive encouragement and continuing his crusade to bring the beautiful silence of the arctic to our warm & ready earlobes.

fooled only by qualities insomuch as they indicate not only the direction of my movements, but also their magnitude, i can only assume that momentum as it pertains to my own thoughts, is linear, but often the concepts floating around in my head tell me there is an expiration date on reason, as the clarity of vision relating to thought is fading into a remarkable ineptitude. however, as luck will have it, i have shifted into another sign, leading me to believe that thought can sometimes flip. into what you ask? i can only answer succinctly once i have established that we are together and that i am not alone. i have conserved all that i am allowed brick by brick. now it‚ is your turn.

capricorn rising is a brand new label for music response, hunting out old and rare tracks and re inventing them in their own way. first up on the label we have earth calling and spectacular.earth calling is a long lost and hidden gem featuring the vocals of a certain gordon sumner, which has been reworked for 2009 in true style, while spectacular is rare a track from can from 1977 another gem reworked by the capricorn rising crew.

one of the hollerboards biggest success stories, alaskan boy wonder curtis vodka (topbillin, flamin hotz) lays down some pure house cuts. edmx (rephlex, turbo, breakin) dons his dmx krew guise and tweaks it right up only the way ed can

after their last production faith christian pass and johannes team up again for sungod to continue their creative work. on the flip side johannes heil is celebrating life with his track true love. what else needs to be said!? supported by heiko mso, gregor tresher: excellent start for johannes heils new labeb!, toni rios, frank lorber. the same way volcanoes have eruptions, dicks have erections and bloody rivers flow: shit happens naturally! even when im on the toilet, i will not use force to squeeze it out because i know it will flow out anyway. its a state of mind, a way to live and the best description of how the creative process and the decisions of this new playground will take place. we will let it flow and get rid of the shit before it happens! we are not willing to take control, but we love to let things grow naturally.we love music, to play and to live a free life of passion, friendship and harmony.you can expect everything besides a concept label with corporate people creating corporate music. because the concept is to have none, but the heart will release the tunes we really love. no matter which genre you might order them to, of course, we are focused on club music, but still there will be music fit in perfectly to a sunny day on which you are sitting on the balcony having a barbecue with friends and drinking a cool beverage. there also might be a tune you can get laid to for the first time in your life. we dont create images, we dont believe in heroes - but we believe in you and ourselves. the most important place for us is the soul - the spot where it all is happening. so let us start with our two favourite tracks for the summertime.

releasing for the first time on paradigma musik, two young artists from the italian port city oflivorno or (in english) leghorn, have united under the techno alias, alicanuel for the imprint’ssixteenth edition.ilario alicante, one half of alicanuel, was practically born with a passion for music whichultimately resulted in 10 releases – including the successful living near africa, released in2008 on cecille records. his work is respected and played by the legendary likes of svenväth, ricardo villalobos, marco carola, luciano, nick curly, and many more. ilario s currentbase in berlin has had a powerful influence on much of his work.ilario’s musical half is none other than the eccentric, emmanuel beddewela, currently residingin italy. testing all musical boundaries, emmanuel bears a strong stance in the contemporaryunderground techno and house scene. the sounds and melodies echoed in his work stem backto the very music of his ancestry.paradigma bagged a mound of talent on this number including a festive two-sider comprisedof „tagonga,“ a romantic upbeat track with violins and recorders weaved throughout its courseand „as warm as you can,“ moderately mirroring its counterpart using modern instrumentals.both genial tracks reveal ilario’s fervent deep house grooves and emmanuel’s old countryetno-folk melodies.

another great release from loose records, this time we have flavio diaz, with a 3 track s plus a tune made with his friend rino cerrone, after being played last winter by allthe big names, during the promo period. finally all the fans of loose records can have a chance to catch another fine work from the label that everyone loves. all 4 tracks are verydanceable and will surly make a great impact on the dancefloor

the journey of a chillian sound influenced by a particular romanian flavor. this sounds wild! therefore, the material to follow will be focused on interesting work. pier bucci together with monochrome including the romanian artists livio & roby allying this time their third beloved partner george g, together they come out in a beautiful ep called, santiago de bucharest. what kind of connections can be found in these two culture background in the context of their own music expression? since last years south america represented a big influence in electronic music, with the latin vibes and soul! extremely obvious is that rumanian artists identify naturaly with latin influences as their common origins helped them easily to experience this into one and solid sound. despite of the latin common element which connect the artists, their soul and spirit it is expressed unique but different in their own particular way.

the mission : bring together 18 international hybrid pop breakthroughs for the summer. for who: those who havent made their way into the jungle of the web and nouveautes in the past few months. fans of todays pop & rock. those who like unexpected hits, and who generally believe that some tracks deserve a 15 days life online. the frame: hybrid pop (except in one case), freshness, air du temps (anxiety-tinted-cheerfulness?), slightly-twisted-lightness. the base: a compilation. remember keeping the faith, artificial intelligence, c86, respect for france, source lab... and the effort behind your own, home made ball pen illustrated mix-tapes. compiling its all about sweat, attention and skills : suspense, respirations, cliffhangers and (not) happy ending... this one says it all on the cover artwork: starting all pop & girly then progressively twisting. you will notice that every sisters support are illustrated by different pictures of virile women and other men accepting their femininity. some of them will be edited as collectors silk screens and might get exposure in paris in july...come have a drink if youre around.

grey area records is a new label based in milan, born by a group of italian artists deeply fascinated by techno. their aim is to offer different shades of dancefloor oriented music, ranging from deep and dark atmosphere to fresh and sunny vibes, with a high regard for a groundbreaking interpretation. this release is all about basslines, darkness and groove, showing what two young but very talented producers can achieve together. this studio collaboration between alessio mereu (cmyk, renovatio, t-bet) and the selph (apnea, thisorder, sunplay), carries the distinctive mark of both, resulting in rolling basslines,solid grooves and moody melodies, carefully packed in astonishing soundscapes.we can guarantee this unique alchemy to work incredibly well for both your body and your soul.

played by: baby ford, trickski, julius steinhoff, anthony collins, philip bader, dirty doering, lil tony, kotelett & zadak, karotte,.. _ very special one sided 12 inch_ once again the latest white release is a reinvention of the label itself and pre-announces its early ending years in advance. this release is a very special one... it is from oliver ton and can be understood as the >very last number of the night<, that is why it is catalogued as the white- 999. oliver ton invited many musicians for jamming sessions into the studio of his production partner >ronald christoph<, in order to create a unique sounding. the final results are >hasta el fin< a song, which will turn every afterhour upside down, especially during summer! the song simply has it all. we love its humor and see it as an ironic statement of the minimalhouse hype.... thats why it matches so beautiful to white... or not.... and thats what we love about it, say the creators of white.

really happening tech house dance vibes can be found on yellow tail 29! comes with ramon tapia & evolent remixes. kaiser souzai sure took the summer techno flavour to a new level with their last release tornado ,now they return with hurry caine, a mind blowing, party-hard, peaktime, festival stomper...

rick wade - first darkness the third release on our new born vinyl only sublabel that twists us arround these days like nothing else in this world. after the tremendous sucess of of ricks debut on laid 01 intelligence which had been a great kick off for our new imprint we couldt help but wonder: where we all in fact just dating the same person over and over again? but anyways here is just another wonderful record of one of our all time favourite producers mr. rick wade. as you can sense from the title rick wade once more employs some of his darker signature synths lines in the main track that provide a glorious sparkle of sublime athmosphere

how do you follow up a creepy techno full-length album by voodeux? visit the university for some music lessons by james braun and dan m. this is a very house influenced assignment from mothership, where we strongly believe that teachers can present techno and house and whatever else - all in the same lecture. visiting professor, affkt really goes the extra mile on the flip adding some space and artistry to the curriculum. dont be late for class!

tensnake has been hamburgs best-kept secret. has been! past 12inchs for labels like radius, mirau (which he co-runs) or his gorgeous >keep believin< three-tracker for endless flight speak louder than words. on top he delivered all these nice remixes for the likes of junior boys ( fm÷ is theee one), sally shapiro or more recently toby tobias on rekids. firmly rooted in new yorks sweaty boogie dreams and with a soft spot for dazzling house music, >in the end< stays true to tensnakes juicy techniques and pleases our friends and colleagues (radio slave, robet dietz, prins thomas, gilbr, mark e) alike. we start off with a courageous house tune that has all the qualities of an a-side and concisely defines the dilemma of lovers: in the end someone always has to cry. but as long as it sounds like a cutty ranks rocket launcher, we want test it. the other side of the medal features >holding back my love< a slow-motion disco robot bomb with a crooning tensnake on the mic that makes everyone feel happy like they should. finally, >thethenunknown< somehow melts the moodiness of early factory records (think a certain ratio with a little finger exercise) with the atmosphere of kenneth dixon jr.s >misled< - one for the heart, soul and your headphones. at least, gerd feels and thinks like that. speaking of feelings. if downloads are your thing, you can get the digital bonus track >can you feel it< at all the usual spots. how is that for a change? this guy aint a blindschleiche

digitaline, the swiss experts in organic grooves and trippy rhythms, are releasing the second record of zurich based label cityfox. the vinyl features 2 long tracks, both telling their own story. the title track seeking attention builds up slowly, a perfect tool to integrate in dj sets, and starts its full power towards minute 5:00. with the catchy vocals and perfectly simple percussion, seeking attention is for sure one of this years summer anthems. it has one thing in common with the b-side track altra - a smart vocal combined with an undeniably tricky groove that makes all of you dance, with no exception. summer can come!

second installment by berlin based mri who successfully cultivated since 2002 some serious dance terrains. this release carries two outstanding and rare remixes as well as one original track. by taking techno deep into the mine shafts of dub, chain reactions / basic channel artist fluxion created an eerie, full-circle remix of the latter. you can hear that a man is at work who knows his gear well and is good in what he is doing. the production is brilliant, the selection of sounds superb, set-ups are constructed with caution, superimpositions are finely layered, propagations and ripenings are get going in a well-considered manner. dreadnaught bassline, steady hi-hats and lo-fi clips – a must for basic channel fans ! on the flip, young talented producer u.e.s. delivers the meanest blend of modern techno style and reduced shaped subs that just creams it on every system. and as well as both guys together does mri with original track rough. the „el castillo“ ep separates the styles over two sides and with „rough“ functioning as a wicked minimal techno track with shifted groove hinging on a grinding bassline - drives the track into abyssal techno territory. fans of basic channel and modern electronic music enthusiasts will be all over this beauty.
