after his productions for labels like dial, num, traum, ladomat or liebe*detail denis karimani aka remute surprises the audience again with another unconventional masterpiece. between the essence of minimal and the deepness of detroit, >realtime island< can be regarded as the first smallville superhit. a detroitish chord sequence rises slowly up to explode but keeps its deep secret. karimani s best friend and ravemate ndru (liebe*detail, perspectiv) translates the unique musical language of the original into minimal- his remix got the kind of hypnotic bassline you might miss in the minimal world so often.. the 12inch ends with a classical karimani pumping deeptechno tune straight in your feet... played by anja schneider, mike shannon...

marco remus can be considered as one of the leading techno jocks when it comes to pure, hard jacking techno material. 10 furious years of nerven records are about to be celebrated and documentated by labelhead marco remus himself

theodor zox is no exception and after a couple 12inch on morris-audio, releases and remixes on his home labels tic tac toe and 3rd floor he is now on the ramp to be >the man with the groove<! minimal yes… but funky even more!!! rolling bass lines, driving chords and a great sense for arrangements, he is spoiling us with 3 amazing tracks! run away and system of play are 2 typical zox s cut! sharp hh and fat snare sounds with some weird abstract synth lines and vocal samples, that just gives to the whole thing coherence and personality! 2 solid dj tool to use with no moderation! question suggestion on the b-side is for us a masterpiece! all theodor s musicality and also his ability to make people dance are in this track. it s deep and it has such of a strong character that it can be dropped at any moment and it will get you anyhow and… every-time! a great bass/synth hook line with some oriental melodies… no clichés, just good shite!

>the return to form black magick party< is the new album of pop levi.in corporation with the sadie anderson ochestra he creates a rocking but emotional collection of songs,which are arrestingly telling about different things that can happen in someones life.

peter b offers second limited edition coloured vinyl on car. all tracks have distinctive style which can easily be recognised on the dance floors..

played by dinky, karotte, trevor jackson!! these new tracks venture to the deeper, often evocative ends of techno and house. the title track fuses an percussive old school house groove with deep techno chords. so when the organ line kicks in, it gives you this very orginal emotion of timeless house. in keeping with einzelkind s unpredictable tendencies – he used to make drum n bass before he switched onto house and techno – you still can hear something of his former musical alter ego in the second track, >bonnieland<.based on a low-slung, growling bassline, the track gradually evolves to reveal a trippy sequence and lush chords, which sounds like the fusion of a detroity atmossphere with the dynamic of a drum n bass-track. a strong release, that consolidates the unique fingerprint of the two einzelkind-boys from frankfurt

strong uk electroclash with 80 s punk influences

anthemic midseventies disco track with frivolous moans and whispers over a full orchestrated funky instrumental. prins thomas re arranges the strings, forwards the bass and gives the track and spaced out overhaul. a more stomping edit by hardcore stricker can be found on the flip

designer imposter is surely one of new york s freshest beat-bouncing madames. moody beats with political references are what you can expect from her. incl. a remix by kool dj pink alert aka gerd janson (running back) - this is his first ever track

played by james mowbray, jeff samuel, john tejada!! news from the anti claves-biter fraction: sub static-label boss falko brocksieper follows suit and warms up for the next album-quantum-leap, however, as a finger exercise first, there is this small, fine ep with three elegantly knitted smashers for the dj from world. as usual this man simply shakes the funk out of the sleeves, so he can afford to pass big music already for the aperitif, which is always best for the meal, right? >esque< builds up the break culture quite high, without falling however, as the pleasantly massaging bass foundation stands firmly against wind and tide. this is the club counterpart to the lightning rod, bundling the crowd s attention perfectly and focusing it to one point, between a glass of vodka (located at the dj-booth) and the horizon (in the head, man, in the head!)

this dry, cold-processed stomper from jack rock shoots like a rocket out of nowhere. with a bass drum that reminds of stakes installed in the swampland and a mysterious melody, he once again presents himself as the connoisseur of delicate club dramaturgy and jack really knows how to conquer the hearts of both, the dj and the crowd.his stumbling funk finds its equivalence in dandy jack s staccato rush whose congenial remix shows a higher concentration, but is still full of catchiness and deepness driven by a real conviction. this must-have ep offers a really wonderful ground contact and represents the continuation of a unique label policy: young, but characterised by deep wisdom, knowledge that can only be found in the dark labyrinths of the club where we love to get lost over and over again...played by john acquaviva, dinky, toni rios

audiomatique welcomes uros umek! his reputation as slovenias hottest dj & producer didn t remain unnoticed, as he is receiving glowing praise from djs all over the world. amongst a growing following of international admirers, his excellent and beautiful rocking tracks can be heard on nearly every dancefloor.>akul< kicks off with a percussive rhythm before a dark synth and a charismatic chord are driving the piece along. > complikator< is a relentless and dramatic backing of severe synths, rising pads and swirling noise. the bass is similarly intense, throbbing away before developing for a melodic break. it s quite a head-turner and will create a buzz in the clubs. welcome to audiomatique, umek

great darker & spacin electro double vinyl

>love manifesto< from mos is a cleanly produced track, with a beautiful melody which will hook you from the very first moment you hear it, trancy and hypnotic.. the remix comes from a swiss producer and dj called khainz, with this as one of his first releases under this name, but simon schwendener is certainly no new-comer to music production, with over 30 tracks already released under the name of freakulizer and his first album out in 2005, you can find him constantly touring the world. support by hernan cattananeo, satoshi tomiie, steve lawler ,john aquaviva, anthony pappa and dave mothersole

dj yaniv presents a great electro indi minimal compilation ... i think one of the must haves this year ... ganz groß

incl ryan crosson remix (aka berg nixon from minus)...beretta grey, sub-label of highly successful beretta music has helped bring quality minimal to the forefront of dance music today. there is something magical and unique about the label that can be heard in each release. developed by detroit artists and inspired by the city of detroit, the label truly is a slice of what the city is all about. quality, no frills electronic dance music. their first ep received praise by everyone from richie hawtin, troy pierce and magda to ben watt!

despite of the untrendy moment for breakbeat, italy and mantra breaks remain steady purveyors of quality beats, new talents, and dirty club fun. mowgli comes from belluno but lives and regularly spin fresh beats in bologna. after a few drum & bass productions mowgli moved to breakbeats and hip hop influenced house beats that really work on the dancefloor!the debut on mantra breaks, just be and mowgli comes to town, can be described as the italian answer to the dirty sound switch/jesse rose/solid groove developed in the last months, they fit into breaks but they are not real breaks

incl. motorcitysoul rmx !! dani casarano, better known under this dj-name tony mass, is a famous dj in his country of choice: chile. born in italy, grown up in the french part of switzerland, he is a widely traveled cosmopolite. his dj career started in lausanne in 1992, where he quickly became well known because of his explosive combination of techno and house grooves. in 1997 he arrived to chile as a guest of luciano for the techno culture party to play along chilean top djs like ricardo villalobos. nowadays he just finished his club tour through europe, several releases on well-known labels are planned and he can look back on hot sweaty dj-sets together with top class djs.. el zapo hablo is a wonderful dreamy and floating tune. the emotionality in this track is more focused on a winterlike atmosphere….

the first release from a new techno label based in rotterdam. the artist behind the label, matt tdk comes from a free party background and you can hear that in this his first journey onto vinyl. matt takes his inspiration from the german and english techno scenes, and moulds them into a relentless fury of beats and screaming synths creating total mayhem, making this an ideal dj tool for the harder techno djs amongst us. tonal research strives to fill the gap between more energy driven loopy techno and the production values of wonky techno to achieve maximum dancefloor pleasure

""highgrade is back with another smash by our heroes phage & daniel dreier, a crew having an enormous flow at the moment, be it on the wheels of steel, as an explosive live act or on vinyl.they submitted us three more minimal trax out of their dark chambers, dry as hell, hypnotic and psychedelic, but with such an outburst of creativity and flexibility you just can`t categorize these trax. we are pretty sure this trax will validate some floors on their stableness; file under hypnphouse and keep the damn frequency high!.""

brill phunky minimal techhouse action!! you can t stop it ...

support by chloe & jennifer cardini !! actually, a tragic fact that the two label owners of sub static never enriched the own catalogue with a cooperation, but then again, there was no time, passion, and maybe also the right tracks hadn t come yet. now we found them, the ideal components, and thus this split- ep succeeds to involve both sides of the same medallion in an extremely animated conversation, which also the party benefits from. a real brocksieper starts off the record, with that slinky, permanent groove which everyone likes to ride on, as it s making you look well on the floors which signify the world. then the flipside laxly continues where just hopped, speak: a little bell rings, the beats pose, the shiny side always in the floodlight. however, the mood changes - functionality mutates to emotiveness, the music floats differently. this can only be m.i.a., who still disassembles sounds with never known precision, gets ideas in order, simply generates funk. so the tone is given for the next techno season, thanks for that

with his second 12 on trapez following his brilliant debut ep >nine hours< released august 2006, the top polish producer slg aka lukasz seliga takes it one step further proving his skil of producing finest post detroit techno music that can rock the clubs worldwide. both tracks are hypnotic techno groovers with a soulful and depp energy. they move very gently and every step is chosen thoughtfully

nice price deal !!! long awaited self titled, full length album from land shark a.k.a. lance desardi on coco machete will shake up any preconceived notions held by fans of all dance, rock, electro and alternative sounds. the land shark project is an edgy departure from lances previous projects as an underground house music mainstay. still deeply rooted in dance rhythms land shark takes derailing hard left turns into the sonic realms of industrial, punk and electro. definitely for fans of dance rock crossover acts such as blackstrobe, soulwax, the rapture and dfa. an album that sounds like an album not a compilation of lumped together twelve inches

minimal as dry as the tundra, bassdrums with the charm of a frozen lasagna, and along with these are served various audiosplinters and mean little sound coming out of nowhere. this all together will make your ears shake and your legs vibrate. misc. cut and chopped this track in many little pieces and rebuild it all new, so every sound can live and grow in a completely new environment. two flowing-staccato tracks in slender and elegant colours..

extremely hot electronic house shockere a bit in the line of david guetta vs the egg! i can see the guys jumpin off bridges in my mind

just need music is an uplifting production with a dark and dirty groove with an overall fresh sound. kemist has used weird sound effects and elements very creatively.the message equals the title of the track and one can say that it comes from his heart. jaimys remix on the flip starts off with a tribal rhythm and builds up to a very energetic uplifting tribal progressive tune with some old skool house flavors.kemist has released tracks on labels such as hooj choons, low pressings, tommy boy, j records, jellybean, lajja recordings, fatal music and tweekd.

following up the massive debut of lets pet puppies, marcus mixx returns with a two tracker of straight up classic chicago dancefloor mayhem. t.a.p. is nasty. you thought you were nasty? sorry charlie, nasty s over here. marcus drops the vocal on this track thats either a precursor or the end point for ghetto tech, and most likely simply in a class by itself. psychousic is somewhere in between classic robert armani / armando, and the best of the early relief stuff. can you say beat track? if your floor doesnt jack to this, you need a new one.

this time peter luts colaborated together with basto! for a new project called elbee. its a groove/electro track. on the a side you can find the peter luts mix which is the style like booka shade, oxia,the b side is the basto! mix. watch out this is going to be a real floorfiller

another crater maker from the dmz cache, mala unleashes the up rolling classic left leg out. mercilessly driven by an insistent morse code arrangement and interlocking 4/4 polyrhythms this is an absolute winner from the man like mala. drawing influences from the rich soup of broken beat, garage and even funky house this one can slot in to any set with ease and drive a dance wild, just listen to any recent kode9 set, the proof is in the rewinds! the b side comes string with blue notez, a brooding slice of steppers pleasure with nuff dread bass, lonely sax licks and mutating snares for the twisup factor. you know you re going to love this one !! villalobos playlist !!

do you like to dance tzatziki? can you feel the bass of kalamata olives? do you feel feta sometimes on the dancefloor? this are all questions our 2 doctors from athens can t answer you. the only answer they know is how to make the boopie shake. this is what they say. you need to proof? do it. boopie trap is a classical piece of malaka house music that will be reinterpreted by everybodys darling dario zenker from hometown munich and the so called boss popnebo himself. what else? their ghosts are also in da house. we hate to write about the music, because how do you want to say in words what the music should sound like? difficult. not really.

michoacan is fernando miranda rios, a young and very talented producer from the states. he already has releases on labels such as grayhound, headinghome, lo rise and bear entertainment. his track 2 bullets was on the lektroluv elektrik planet compilation and the title track from this ep here got a spot on the new lektroluv 007. now the dr decided to offer michoacan a full vinyl release on the lektroluv label and we honnestly think it rocks! both basshead and d.s.s.g. can and will get radio airplay for sure. this is a top notch crossover production that sounds catchy without being commercial at all.situated somewhere between house, rock, disco and electro, michoacan has his own particular sound and is an artist you will certainly hear more from in the future
