amazing chic remake, in a perfect 2008 outfit, disoc , funk & electrohouse infused !!

deep influenced and darker hypnotizing minimal techno with a nice booty shakin groove. danton eeprom, as part of the new generation of french producers, has several times demonstrated his high ability to refresh the existing styles and give them his deep mark, as in >all i can say< (freak n chic 23) and >confessions of a english opium eater< (infine 06)

freak n chic label is proud to launch micro-fibres. dan ghenacia alongside marc antona introduces a tech oriented sub-label. spirit remains the same: upfront! music is moving to more toughness... to clubbing! vitamin d: d is a finely honed hybrid of proper minimal and full-bodied techno. its fast, sparkly, and hits from all angles. the tightly core is built around a perfect little metallic surprising

an acclaimed young five piece from leeds, stateless have already displayed their mastery of beat driven guitar and turntable rock on previous releases. but their third single bloodstream, is their masterpiece. a 21st century blues ballad built from cinematic hip hop beats, super heavy bass and perfumed piano. it sounds both heartbroken and drunk on its own romantic intoxication. the berlin based producer and remixer henrik schwarz, one of germanys most respected djs, brings his trademark love of jazz and deep house to his version. schwarzs remix re engineers the track as a sleek dance tune, speeding up chris vocal into a restless, nervy, emotionally naked torch song. by contrast, the chic parisian re edit maestro pilooski strips the track down into a cubist collage of rhythmic throbs and sparkles, with a staccato piano melody pulsing through it like a heartbeat. its a playful and vibrant fusion, where soul baring yorkshire poetry meets sleek french disco chic.

following the massive squeeks and kaoss ep by active sense the pressure was on to keep the bar high! next up on immigrant records we present monoblock, the first of our digital artists to make their way onto vinyl. since their la otra cara del enano ep released on immigrant digital in february they have since been snapped up for releases on freak n chic and cynosure. their debut immigrant ep was so well received we decided to create a remix ep for vinyl. the crazy garden dwarf is back, this time with his mutated friends

the term legend is applied to many djs and producers without credence, louie vega is one of the elite few who truly warrant the title. from the latin influences that shaped the early stages of his career, through his inspired partnership with kenny dope gonzalez as master at work, to his winning a grammy in 2006, louie vega is one of the true pioneers of house music. here, louie takes you on a personal journey through the music of his life, entwining salsa, jazz, samba, funk and soul into the house lead beats and grooves, producing a mix more than worthy of his fêted ability. this is house music at its very finest

yes! format b are finally back with their second release on stil vor talent. after massive tracks on opposum and highgrade rec, their newest ep on stil vor talent is another huge minimal monster. kongo time is typical for the two berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum n bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. its definitely going to make you trip out for sure! on the flip its the funky mondo time that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. a huge organic subbass and some chopped-up vocal sample add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4:00 you really won t be able to hold your feet still. format b are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!

following three acclaimed releases from glimpse, alex jones and shenoda, hypercolour is back again with more super-fresh underground house music to brighten up the dancefloor. this time, we welcome parisian young gun sebastien bouchet, whose releases on freak n chic have been creating quite a stir with discerning djs across the globe. >changing lanes< is a mid-paced, woozy number, with stripped back beats, cascading fx, and bouchets messed-up vocals drifting in and out of the mix. its deep and its druggy, but theres still plenty of movement and groove, making it perfect for the grey hours of the early morning. next up is a remix from jens bond, another superhot producer whose slinky, taut technoid sound has already featured on labels including sender, highgrade and poker flat.

imagine the audacity of fusing, in less than five minutes, the entire history of dance music: from the sexual liberation of 70s disco to the gimmicky black funk of chic, from dark 80s house to the ecstatic electro which lit up 90s raves and also from daft punks french touch to todays guitar riffs that are driving the kids wild. take an innocent childrens chorus backed by pulsing electronics and an arpeggiator that sends chills up your spine topped then top it off with disco violins, nice! and what better way to make bodies move, since it is dance music after all, than a mastery of production that rocks the beat in the mould of great american producers like timbaland, the neptunes and dr dre. this is a hit that is ten years ahead of its time , paying homage to the seminal house music of larry levans remix of sesame street, « d.a.n.c.e » by justice is already a classic as their pop music influences continue to revolutionize dance music culture

das freak n chic label hat nachwuchs bekommen & legt auch gleich gut los

you re still not taking yourself seriously.on the journey to discover new tracks you trip over a few disco-balls, find an irresistable melody, dance briefly with abba, are trapped by chic, free yourself and then also rob them/it (???) of a super-bassline. next you travel to the outskirts of berlin to dowse for / apply the divining rod to find fresh, unused talent. the discovery responds to the name c.l.i.c. and turns a discohymne into a little rave-monster. now add to the whole made-up story the fact that you leave the remixing to an old friend. he makes a >6am, the sun rising, tickling your nose and making you scream< track out of it. the name of the mysterious unknown: oliver koletzki. conclusion: you re still not taking yourself seriously. why should you? >fitzelkrtschbungbritzelbratzel< is just ruling everything. a counter-design is urgently needed. the world s serious enough

looking back to a great year, we find david k from the freak n chic posse being one of the most successful newcomers in 2006. freak n chic stands for a kicking mix of techno and acid sounds, which are blended with some house. dj friendly, very danceable but still demanding, with elements of deep house and minimal house…whereas >tender and sugar< seems straighter, darker and more minimal, and the fat but simple beat is the driving element, >mayann< comes along with strong reerences to >Âme< and its synth sounds remind of >rej< or productions of >pasta boys< from italy

frenchman frederic faupain(aka fuzz) is a veteran of afro, latin and mediterranean sounds. under aliases such as sofian rouge, mr.fuzz and jack in da box hes recorded for labels such as deep touch, filtered, soulgroove and grab recordings. here,he drops the mr and just becomes fuzz for tropicanas 2nd single. on the a side, the original highlife mix is deep down and discofied afro house. imagine nile rogers & chic getting down in lagos. classic discohouse beats with juju style guitar and vocals for an uptempo and feel good mix.on the flip, fuzz takes us down into the rainforest, with a deeper and darker mix, while still retaining the musicality of the original version

electro infected and proggy touched mover feat alison limerich in three mixes..

nice price deal !!! stomping minimal chic of david bowie s classic tune

as a coproducer of jennifer cardini he could already rest on some laurels, but he still has own plans. after a lonesome 12inch on freak n chic this likeable party terrorist, not goes free of charge with paris anarchos like dj:terry: co-operates, now to the attack. sub static presents two properly psychedelic minimum racketeers as they could hardly fall out more individualistically.correctly fitted with spring beats deliver the through ball for precisely placed schizo chords and who is still responsible there, has missed the takeoff. hypnotically the sounds mill themselves by the bodies and hatch behind the diaphragm, only to press ahead at the right moment like alien out of ripley. techno, how he raves and dances. to one howls, yesyes

verträumter melancholischer spaced out electric disko, chic chic...

comicalanimals of all sorts populate the world of miraumusik, and tensnake is just one of these odd fish, hatched from a cuckoo s egg and fostered by a thoughtful disco ball and an indulging minimoog. the restless ep does the eighties caper with dexterity, eliminating the mere possibility of ridicule. the dancable track of black vinyl dictates earnest nostalgia rather than trend-devoted retro chic!

excellent electro infeceted remixes by david k (freak n chic), pig & dan, olivier berger (sfp records miami)
