killer groove 4 track ep , with strong tribal dub-tech flavours

roughly translated, hasta el fin means >the very last number of the night<, appropriate when you consider this is gigolos final release of 2009. the a&r process at gigolo is a constant and very simple formula! if hell likes it, plays it and gets a good reaction from the crowd then it needs to come out on his record label! no other record fits the criteria more the >hasta el fin<. this is a record that featured heavily in hells festivals and club sets and was played at the end of every after-hour he found himself. but its beginning is a little less finite.
the genesis came late last year when oliver ton invited various musicians for a jamming session. in the spirit of some masterful moments in music oliver ton and production partner ronald christoph captured something unique sounding with a dance record built largely around a vocal, guitar and piano performance. it was immediately signed to berlin based white records and assigned the fitting cat. no. of white999!!!
hell, an early supporter of both the record and label was smitten, personally requesting the license for gigolo. once this was granted he approached tony lionni for a remix. for many djs, including hell, tony lionnis >found a place< is without doubt one of the biggest records of 2009. so combining the talents of these two artists would appear to be a no brainer, and the results speak volumes. taking the vocal hook, layering it over a tough piano stab and italo style disco rhythm is the order of the day. as we approach the end of another decade for gigolo and the first of new millennium we are proud to present our last number of the 2009!

it was only a short time ago when these 2 young up and comers made their respective debuts on our label and in the few months between then and now, they have gone on to skyrocket up through the ranks, conquering dancefloors, charts and dj crates-while becoming household names synonymous with quality and consistency.
florian kruse and nils nürnberg need very little introduction these days but for those that have been asleep or living under a rock, a good start would be to check their recent output on fine labels such as nrk, om, moodmusic, dessous and our very own dieb, to name a very select few. their first combined effort on the label has resulted in the >suerte ep<, a tight collection of deep as hell, tech infused house numbers heavily characterized by their attention to groove and addictive, seductive chord progressions that have become a hallmark of their production prowess.
to add some spice to an already sterling and stylized package, we have enlisted our good friend (and also mood music alumnus) alexander maier, to remix the titular >suerte< where he adds his considerable musical vocabulary to the proceedings, peppering a very tasty arrangement with piano chord stabs and throbbing basslines resulting in a gorgeous, summery house re-interpretation that has to be heard to be believed!
as if this werent enough, fresh from an impressive debut on nils and florians save room records we have been lucky enough to secure a percussion led, funk infused remix of >achieving balance< from bright new boys on the block io who round things off nicely and add another dimension to the >suerte ep<.

nice price deal !!! big with loco dice, m.in, brothers vibe, andrew grant, someone else and many more.. waldliebe musik continue their successful march with a new release from katoline . after the huge succes of katoline - esmeralda ep , katoline comes back with una pregunta. along comes beautifull remixes from : mendo and danny serrano , mirco violi , thin cat riders and horatio. neat drums, atmospherics and ethnic vocals give it a chilled tech feel. katoline s latest is well produced and all tracks are very pleasant indeed.

support by falko brocksieper, beaner (bar25), solomun, mathias kaden, pete tong and more. danilo schneider comes with his new release to celebrate the last warm breath of summer 2009. fragrance is floating with a tenderly smelling hookline in to the sound system, using the breaks for breathing. snapper, discreet percussion, vocalcuts, smoth tamburine pattern completing the sound track. cat eyes in the morning is combining a heavy drumline with cheesy latin percussion and dicriminating pads to a deep track. perfect for the peaktime-startsup! with naughty cat remix by dana ruh a great rework is stumping around the corner! the massive bassline filled with deep pads, a driving organ, reversed vocalcuts not betraying the secret, turning this track undeviating through a one minute break in to a rollin smasher!

with this new ep tom clark makes an impressive return to the highgrade release program. following a collaboration with marcus schatz and most recently with benno blome, he now comes back as a solo artist. after only a few beats, you’ll be sure to recognise his signature sound. tom needs surprisingly few elements to build a unique atmosphere and his matchless grooves. on the title track “scorpio“ we find a deep, rolling bassline and a slightly orientally influenced vocal, combined with the typically unique clarkish synth leads, and we’re ready to go. it’s a track that continually keeps the excitement moving while never letting the cat out of the bag, and more than deserves the a-side. then we come to “albino“, also featuring sparkling synths and rolling drums that create an impression of fluidity and an unhurried beginnings, but we also end up in a waterfall… who would have known!? in conclusion comes “sand flea“, as lively as a box of fleas, but not nearly as aggrivating! mister clark is again at his best, with a love for detail, an innate sence for strange sounds and an a significant quantity of leisurely energy, this tune also really hits the mark. this is not the work of a newbie who produces an aggressive sound to prove his talents. the result is the feature of this ep: seldom has an understatement sounded so fresh. + digital-only bonus track “12 notes“!

since its foundation in the year 1995, reykjaviks gus gus are working hard to make this world a less boring place. initially tagged by the press as the next big icelandic music export after bjoerk, the band swept away all cliche thinking with their highly infectuous metrosexual multimedia pop and secured themselves a deal with the prestiguous 4ad label. &#8233,,,since then a lot of hot water has been ejected by icelands geysers but gus gus miraculously always managed to combine avantgarde with pop, soul and of most prominently - with electronic music. especially with their furious live shows they ve earned themselves a devoted following worldwide. &#8233,,,&#8233,,,this years september will bring us the release of their sixth studio album that goes by the name 24/7. at this point, we dont want to let too much of the cat out of the bag but its certainly right to say that they ve once more reinvented themselves and the result is truely breathtaking. as we re convinced that the world-embracing harmonies and impeccable catchiness of add this song should be heard during this summer season, so we ve decided to already share this with you now. &#8233,,,&#8233,,,the remixes all sound as excellent as their producers: patrick chardronnet, lopazz & zarook and gluteus maximus...

part 3 of the nice cd compilation! >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

synthcast aka mihai popoviciu & and agnes rocks the house

our third release is introducing to you more intensely the musical personality of dairmount, founder & a&r of our the label. longtime independent music activist born in belgium (formerly known as philarmonix), dairmount is a natural born “freestyler” who embraced anything soulful & groovy since the late 80‘s, playing & travelling the world for 15 years. hamburg is the city where he settled down in the last 6 years and 2009 marks the accomplishment of his personal dream to found room with a view, shelter of his musical fantasies. friendship & challenge are two values that defi ne phil pretty well so it is no surprise that musical collaborations & versatility tightly express his musical approach and personal ethic. after displaying bass-ment tale, an old school house tribute produced with his partner in crime marino berardi, on the fi rst episode of the perspectives serie, dairmount is presenting subakuatik blues on his fi rst ep. recorded in 2007 with his good friend ralf petter, an “old cat” of the hamburg music scene, this track managed to capture the essence of these great studio sessions : phil’s natural obsession to create hybrid club material & ralf’s amazing engineering skills matching perfectly to create this sub-aquatic dream that resulted in the track name. lost in the world of analogue synths of ralf’s studio, they created a 9 minutes odyssey crossing the lines between deep house, disco futurism & detroit infl uences topped by a surprising “ravy” breakdown. phil approached naturally two of his longtime favorite producers to give their own perspectives of the timeless feel of the original : russ gabriel, who phil has always admired for the depth of his output on ferox, planet e or his own soul on wax, has signed a beautiful version of the track. extremely subtle & hypnotic, this remix is a true blessing & a great pride. mood music’s honcho sasse, old friend of phil, retouched with lots of love & care the track that he went crazy for and even realised 2 vers

2002 classic by ian pooley aka john skipper trax!!! banging chi town style tech traxx!!

royal bangs are from knoxville. that in itself is a statement: theres not much that comes from knoxville, tennessees third largest city, and even less that gets away. quentin tarantino made it out, but the last citys mayor was allegedly so desperate to escape he now works as the us ambassador in poland. cormac mccarthy moved there as a child, of course, but by the time he d written his second book he was long gone. only johnny knoxville advertises his geographical roots, and quite clearly hes a glutton for punishment. so while just one of royal bangs currently has a passport, that doesnt mean they dont know that royal bangs is their ticket out of town.

yore continues the global digging for the deep. after the sensational trackleton ep, we proudly welcome another new cat to our family tree. kez ym (aka japanese producer kazuki yamaguchi), whose city soul ep oozes soul in the best possible way.

john digweed has already christened her >the queen of dark house< and there s certainly a true note or two there, but moudaber s remixes for the likes of xpress2 or defected s shapeshifters also demonstrate a wider crossover appeal and a simple glance at the last djs regularly name. checking her in their charts lends reveals a who s who in techno. enjoy the first release of nicole on yellow tail, the cat loves it, hope you too!

the running back sports team is glad to welcome two new players to its roster. dplay and whiz kid manuel tur (see also his brilliant ribn stuff) have caused a great stir with a bouquet of 12-inches for outfits like zurichs beloved drumpoet community or the compost black label as well as knocking out well-made remixes. for instance, their work on kiloos the passion is just adorable. here we have them melted into one organism called dplay, while mtur moves in silence (or in the production credits, if you please). stretching out on the a-side, huub sand is not only a tribute to two of schalke 04s greatest gentlemen, but a prime-example of cavernous, stoic and infective house those two (no not the schalke guys) had quite an impact on. initially planned to come with a remix by the mighty radio slave (please look at cat-no. 012 to see what became of that), our coach could convince the duo to hand out two rather atypical, nonetheless bloodcurdling tunes instead: tschaka kicks some deep dub disco houz styles of the highest orders with riot-like effects on your mind, body & soul. finally, schroulé is a claustrophobic corker, if we have ever seen one. should be the perfect sound track for padded cells and the up-and-coming remake of mel brooks frankenstein. these ruhrpott kids are alright!

>theres a rat in the kitchen what am i gonna do? theres a rat in the kitchen what am i gonna do?…im gonna teach that rat thats what im gonna do, im gonna teach that rat, thats what im gonna do<… sang ub40 back in the day but these days the best way to teach a rat to dance is to hit it with the latest made to play release from jan driver. the shadowy figure that is jan driver lurks in the depths of the berlin dance scene and only exposes himself to strangers in the park and via the medium of unleashing massive sonically charged dance floor bombs like >rat alert<. for more than twelve years he has been producing on labels as diverse as polydor, am:pm, virgin, southern fried and klang elecronik as well as his own imprint, grandpetrol. this release is causing a massive stir with the heads that matter including roland rat, ratty out of wind in the willows, stuart little, splinter and most importantly dean gaffney aka rat robby out of eastenders who uses it to ease the pain of being an unemployed actor. whether youre a cat, rat or straight up t*at you need to buy this, love it, play it and scare the sh*t out of the local vermin in a club near you.

new and exciting label from our friends north of the border, aimed squarely at the dancefloor autodiscotheque kick off their demonstration only series of cut up dancefloor grooves with two killer edits from richard sen (padded cell/bronx dogs) and legendary grafitti artist cazbee. first up is a fresh rework of the bass driven disco glitch of kat mandus i wanna dance reconstructed here as cat dance. on the flip, the chunky disco funk of dennis deans i feel it is transformed into the irresistible proto house groove of lifetie. cut and pasted for the elegantly wasted, this is sophisticated and decidedly filthy 21st century club music !

the finns from new judas are back with a new release to convince you all to believe the hype. this time pets on prozac meets obi blanche on a split 12 where tropical beats meets gypsy tech. pets on prozac hailing from helsinki, finland knows how to turn nocturnal melancholy into tropical psyche house. starting out as a noisy punk techno band back in 2005 the set up was a trio of handsome men all bringing a taste of their own into a solid blend. after getting their debut single out on uk label house cat recordings they quickly earned their fifteen minutes of nme fame and got recognition on the blog roll. obi blanche, the man behind the twitchin and grindin beat music he himself has dubbed hobo-tech has come a long way to greet you. the tech-savvy finn has travelled a winding road of differnt sounds from his position as a guitar vendor in the rural viking midlands to his current studio chair in his new haven berlin. starting out with a technics 1200 turntable and a numark mixer he began to produce hip hop beats in his teens, smoothly progressed via mod to idm and onwards to produce his nowadays sweaty hifi vs. analog electro mosh

>papier konfekt mit euphorium-efekt fliegt in die lüfte jedes der bunten teilchen flattert trippig durch die punktstrahler glücksgefühle freisetzend möchte man sich im schnipselteppich verlieren berauscht, verspielt wie junge katzen geniesst jeder das gribbel auf der haut und im kopf ein circus voller nostalgie verträumtes feuerwerk der sinne jedes teilchen individuell und einziartig schillernd in der bar25 alle vereint auf einem vinyl<

it hasnt been long time ago since the last coup made by clark and schatz hit the streets but highgrades head-honcho tom clark and the true berlin talent markus schatz allready go for the next round. the original version of >hot choc< makes the start - playfully swinging, the track developes itself into a masterpiece of an easy going groove without being half bad. the french dj and producer tom pooks - well known for this productions on ovum, kompakt and other wellsounding imprints gives >hot choc< a whole lot of jacking energy to take along. he sets the percussive elements free - and rightly so! punch meets hypnotic deepness - perfect! with the hot choc re-edit on the flipside by markus schatz he eventually letting the cat out of the bag. without any detours and in best daniel bell-like mannour he jump into a real inferno made of funky bleeps and weird sounds. delivering with this one more than just another highlight on this release - because last but least it’s the best evidence, you gotta reckon with these two!
