limited run of 300 copies with din-a3 artwork included clear your throat. understand. sometimes. only sometimes. there is this feeling that there are people out there, illuminated people with a plan. where the music, the approach, the images, the design, the artwork, everything is flowing together and leading into a common transcendent theme. meet ctf 2 by bruno gauthier. a (can we say this, bruno?) veteran updating the epic gospel which was started by the mysterious one with a boom - the boom which broke the nothingness. the spark of inspiration has arrived in this universe. >existing reality< is a teslaesque algorithm for the universal prescription of all antidotes. it is basic and complex. it offers a minimal lushness, a universe within a universe. flip this galaxy. >music takes control< is a maelstrom that sucks all gravity away into the anti matter zone. its razor sharp vortex cutting away the peels of space and time, a radical march of nouveau deepness. or is it steepness? ctf is on base 2, the next beachhead for world domination.

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.

for is 3rd release on musique risquee, after the well acclaimed dirty lipreading single and is first full lenght foe destroyer, stephen beaupre is back with a really solid record. thats all there is to say. gl’amour as the distinctive signature of stephen beaupré, his subtle use of vocals, strings colored with warm echos layered on a big and chunky drum beat. you can easilly acknowledge is natural sens of storytelling unfold in a brillant way. on the flipside, when you have it, would be an excellent way to summarise stephen electrifying live sets: funky, melodic hypnotic and sexy. we are very proud of this last one, hope you enjoy as much as we do.

akiko kiyamas latest release features four tracks of intricate drum programming, bringing her characteristic warmth to the groove with their ghostly whispered vocal samples and the clicking and clanking poly-rhythmic sound made famous by the legendary berlin imprint, perlon. the first track, carnival, brings all the fun of the fair, a swirl of coloured lights barely glimpsed amongst the heaving throngs of somewhere like bar 25, followed on by an abstract slow burner which sneaks up on you with its sneezed vocal snippets and jangling bassline. talon, a real dancefloor creeper, clips along insistently and the final track, with its bass-guitar and pulsing synth line rounds of the record in perfect ethereal fashion. as akiko puts it herself, >deepness, depression, beauty, irony, fun - these are keywords for my music also my life itself<. you can definitely feel that there is much more thought put into these productions than just purely the need to move people on the dancefloor.

dj ageishi is like the sensei of japanese djs: a true legend and active since 1973, he can scoop from an incredible musical wealth of experiences yet has his ear to whats happening in the now. this mixture of knowledge and curiosity for the new also characterizes his debut on internasjonal with colleague dj akin, who left his mark outside of japan with a remix for brennan greens >900lb man<. rattling drum breaks from the funk end of disco are the backbone for a soprano sax lick slightly remiscent of coltranes >a love supreme< that floats on top of noise distortet sheets of synth before the >rain parade< makes a total turn ending with a comforting lullaby like rhodes melody. prins thomas boils it all down to a simmering slow dub remake, while mark e lets all the single ingredients patiently lets every ingredient from the original develop its full-bodied flavour before kicking up the heat.

sampler 12 inch of tom tragos upcoming album >iris<! leading up to tom tragos debut album >iris<, to be released april 2011, comes this three track sampler. the tracks featured here show the diverse nature of the album, which can be best described as a futuristic soul album. after releasing his double ep >voyage direct<, early 2009, tom has spent the last two years finding his signature sound. the outcome of this search has resulted in >iris<. where >voyage direct< was his homage to disco, >iris< deals with all of toms musical inspirations. shaping these inspirations into a new sound and creating an exciting mix is where tom really succeeds. the three tracks on the sampler all deal with merging the old with the new. >being with you< is a match made in heaven between electronic music and r&b, >space balloon< lets disco and funk make love in a spaceship. what you do is a future version of late 80s chicago hip house, which features tyree cooper (who, together with fast eddie, invented the genre).

detroit lands in (o meets - come preferisci) rome! although being a canadian, greg gow is a one of those few artists who can proudly be considered part of the d25, the elite of classic detroit sound. after having produced on labels such as the legendary transmat, run by derrick may, greg has finally joined the 7 oz records family with the santa clara ep.two tracks (santa clara and resurrection) with a resolute traditional detroit flavour, where the peculiar strings and soulful groove are reshaped with a contemporary and powerful rhythmic section.

after having hit the dancefloors with hydra (weave-26) we are proud to unleash another techno monster by spektre. these 2 guys have travelled the globe in the past years performing their live show, to rapturous acclaim. the versatile experiences they made & still make during their international appearances are constantly improving their own productions. spektres big explosive sound has gained massive respect & support and even the biggest of the big like sven väth, dj hell, dubfire, laurent garnier & many more are not sparing with praise. the title track of weave-34 synapse is stacking up an intimidating amount of industry knowledge and skill between them, the latest spektre-monster is storming from strength to strength, taking no prisoners - it can definitely be called a weapon! and as if this wouldnt be tough enough already, weave-34 delivers even more state of the art techno by offering 2 killer remix versions coming straight out of the noisemaking machines from italys young-gun flavio diaz and pig & dan

limited edition repress on heavyweight vinyl with new sleeve notes.

jackoff records is back with two excellent trax from berlins local hero oliver deutschmann. deutschmann is a regular figure behind the decks at panorama bar and also runs two labels, vidab and falkplatz, which have been making waves in the techno scene for some time now. for jackoff records, deutschmann has produced some of his most sexy house music to date but never forgetting his signature groove that no dance floor can resist. adding to the great package our friend, detroit s very own patrice scott, delivers a swirling remix full of emotion in true sistrum style. enjoy!

brainiac kicks off with a dark and foreboding intro, then crashes into a powerful, rough and ready roller. menacing punchy beats, obscene chest thumping basslines and plenty of clever edits, guarantees this tune to maintain high energy levels in any club. this track can only described as absolutely devastating! the reverse side opens with a tense synthline that drops into fully charged neurofunk. although this track is more down tempo track, its sub warbling basslines, complimented by rattling percussion and steppy breaks, means legacy is sure to get the dancefloor swaggering.

anyone who advertises on their facebook site that they create music for dogs while working under the name dachshund must have a sense of humor. and indeed, it seems the swiss dj, producer and label boss doesnt think much of sterile production and is prepared to use his sence of passion and fun to create rhythms of every kind in his work. perhaps this is a legacy of dashshunds musical roots: in the 90s he played in various reggae bands, which eventually took him to jamaica. from the sunny islands he brought back a dub influence which can still be heard in his music today. he has already proven, with his highgrade debut on the >group of connected heads compilation, his feeling for up-beat, bouncy rhythms. nothing has changed with his first solo release on highgrade. groovy, original and funky, it booms from the speakers. that the first track is called >stand firm<, must be due to the humor of dachshund: the beats immediately encourage you to do the exact opposite… shake your booty!

first on decks.de! limited white coloured vinyl.
aspekt strikes back with their actually release. the new great 4 track ep >good things< by mike wall & ixel, contrast itself with a great and special minimal sound. >inicio< on side a sounds tempting and mysterious, minimal-house with a touch of deep. the remix by alex q & match hoffman is an excellent deephouse number mixed with minimal accents, which animate to dance. with >undromeada< and its marcio kantana remix the listener can expect great tech-house with playful melodic sounds with which you cant sit still to. awesome record for the dancefloors!

the 4th downbeat release is by darand land. a talented producer who in the beginning of the century, released several jewels on deep4life. now, after years of introspection, he presents 5 deep house tracks with warm and smooth synth lines where it can be guessed his self-confessed predilection for larry heard and wayne gardiner. music with soul for dancing with eyes closed.

oslo says hello to 2011 with a great ep again from one of the best electronic producers at the moment, guillaume & the coutu dumonts. we all know his eps on oslo, so we can be sure that he will not dissapoint. on the a side we find >praise to the beat maker< an amazing track with lyrics by dave aju, you will never take this track out of your mind. the rhythm is 100% guillaume. the second track of the ep >promess-lovin< gives the main melody to the release, and with some female vocals remains us one of the best old school house periods. the last track >all you have to do< is a very slow and musical track, wich keeps the line of the ep and at the same time add something different.

phoreski, who was the first ever remixer for iib returns to remix >electric sunburst< from the harlyn bay lp, creating a heads down dirty balearic slo-mo basement monster as only he can. next up is tony watson from adult contempory / la who remixes >pacific breeze< adding a touch of west coast b-boy flair. peter visti takes on the not-yet-released track >childhood melody< creating an epic balearic journey starting fairly uptempo before changing gear to groove along at a more leisurely slomo speed. top quality as always. finally, and proving the boys have the jump on tomorrows stars early, the amazing & much sought after aeroplane rework of >too hard<, originally released in 2007. another all round top package.

classic chicago house titles, now released with updated 2011 versions

fresh beats delivered directly from the caribbean by venezuelan producer trujillo on his latest appearance on the spanish-venezuelan label apersonal music. trujillos ability to make you feel caught up in an eternal summer vibe gets clearer and stronger with every track he releases. on this release main single >fruit punch< is simplicity at its best, squeezing the most out of basic classic-house elements. it builds up slowly until the original guitar tunes in, thats when you take a sip of your fruit punch (or whatever sweet drink comes handy) and enjoy the sea breeze in your face (whether its there or not..). for the extra flavor on your drink they pour an edit-format track >looking up through you<. lots of original ingredients here enough to make this edit an own piece of music... venezuelan keyboard player mister casanova on board plus trujillo mixing it all up in his best poolside bar style. fresh juicy punched stuff here! on the remix department 2 remix versions from uk based producer toby tobias plus a classy fashioned remix from canadian eddie c. tobias is a hard working man, and when you ask him for one he hits you twice, hard to pick one remix although one had to be selected for digital only release (size matters some time!). what can we say about eddie c.. apersonal had already made a statement that they love classic grooves, and it cant get classier than eddies beats on his remix! this groove is what house music is all about, and it will always be.

2010 has been a massive year for jozif, emerging as one of the most talked about artists in house music. the follow-on from the first sell-out edition, “beats in space”, “brick jane” goes further to cement his place as one of the vanguard of the london music scene, and propel fist or finger to the status of a buy-on-sight label. jozif’s title track – the dancefloor focused ‘fist’ of the package – goes in deep, the momentum continuously building as the track twists and turns through a landscape of deep slabs of bass assured deployment of subtle guitar plucks and piano chords, and dreamy xylophones. finally releasing into an epic crescendo, jozif only allows the moment to last just long enough, before all the elements are stripped right back as the journey starts all over again. brick jane draws out a journey, continuing to morph and subtly affix new elements throughout its 7 minutes. the arrangement is simple yet the progression is deft, subtle and effective, creating a vibe that can be employed at any given time of the night, offering a truly different context. craig’s ‘finger’ re-interpretation picks up the thread where his “beats in space” remix left off. crackling static laced with woozy atmospheres and paranoid utterings flip the vibe of the original completely on its head. richards displays a completely unique ability to stretch the original track far beyond its character into a completely different dimension, building a warped soundscape that feels as though it was recorded in a chasm deep deep underground. a mind-bending journey from a truly multi talented artist, in the truest sense of the word

after the big succes of hi tech booty, we searched for some really special guys out there to put hand on ahmets bomb. well here it is. a1 comes from maetrik which was a strong desire of ahmet and for sure an excellent choice. he totally brings in his own style while getting a little bit closer to the darkside of the track. a2 is a special collab between rainer, which we know from the last regular stock5 record together with cesare vs disorder and viudez, a mexican guy that seems to have a very nice influence to the production style. the vocal is very present but placed, arranged and transformed geniously. for sure a weapon! b1 is written by our special friend chris sylvester aka inxec. starting with a very housy groove, it falls quickly into a hypnotic mood that is unique in inxec productions. he really knows what the dancefloor requires and for this we are very happy to have him again in our release roster. b2 presents a very new and fresh artist called rico casazza. he interprets the track in a very detroit way, works verz little with the vocal but hits it very perfectly for the sense of the track. after this debut on our imprint you can be sure to hear more of this young guy in the next time!!!

spun presents the neurofunk legends synthetix & corrupt souls! these artists were a big hype from 2003 - 2006 with their very own unique sound and caused mayhem in the scene on labels like renegade hardware, obsessions, freak, black sun empire, disturbed and many more. spun came up with these 2 forgotten gems that still sound fresh. neuro heads will love the freaky sound of the a-side with the unmistakable heavy stepping beat and neurotic synths. the vibe reminds us of the good old days while the flip will fit in every djs set with its heavy percussion, siren like sounds and heavy synth stabs! still fresh! only limited available, so grab it while you can.

killekill002 comes from alex cortex solo. the a side track >tackle” is an old school minimalistic loop techno track with a weird bleepy melody inside. made for the late hours on big pas. b1 track >beach bass< is the hit of this record: a deep house number with a bassline that hits your heart immediately and makes you smile and want to dance. a house hit as it should be! b2 >boing boing< is an uncommon, strange electro track that rounds up this ep and shows the wide range of styles that can be expected from this label. alex cortex has been releasing electronic music of all kinds since 1996 on labels like source records, kanzleramt, klang elektronik, pomelo, platzhirsch and many more.

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

italojohnson starts the new year punctual with his third stroke. this record will have something suitable on it for everyone out there. without batting an eyelid, its crosseyed and selfconfident, looking at three different floors at the same time: the a-side focuses on the chicago house floor. it begins with a recognizable toolish sound. slowely but surely the theme of the track opens – the track works through a breakdown, a classic drum roll sneaks in and jack grabs again. the b1 provides an unusual turn on the third italojohnson production. theres no space for compromises here. the track stomps on the steam engine warehouse floor. a flowing acid hookline is settled in the industrial drumline and gives the track its meaning. the second track on the flipside completes the whole package and is destined for the late night hours. thats everything there is to say about this track – the strength and emotion can only be experienced by listening first hand. love, peace and happiness
