real soon is proud to present the debut release by berlin-based producer hauke freer. hauke has an old-school production approach, working with contemporary software but using a palette of mainly vinyl samples to give a loose, effortless, raw-sounding edge. my beat is a dirty, gritty, house work-out featuring deep, filtered chords, lo-fi percussion and roughly chopped vocal pieces. old-fashioned in a good way - just the way we like it! we must face our fears is a smoother, minimal track with a delicate, beautifully measured mesh of percussive knocks, slides & bleeps driven by a pulsing sine wave bass. as the track builds, a classic detroit-flavoured chord wash brings it all together. bliss... biography hauke freer grew up in a small town near hamburg and moved to berlin in 2000 to work for the techno label kanzleramt. after spending a year in australia djing and working for the label future classic, hauke returned to berlin to work for the resopal schallware label

>chariots<, the simple debut of james priestley and dan berkson, is a luscious house treat. driving percussion and throbbing keys move towards a crescendo through airy synths while the classic piano melody comes in to send the dancefloor to a blissful climax. soul and melody with a tight little groove, everything we at simple love! acclaimed frankfurt duo motorcitysoul, who made their aus debut earlier this summer, turn their hand to the remix. rotating clicks and punches move towards an ever intensifying push, while melodic whispers gather around the central chord progression, combining to create a deep and dreamy finale.

solomun aka play has been one of the moving spirits in hamburgs electronic music scene for quite a few years now. he hosts the beloved diy club series and runs his own label imprint diynamic music. he also produces music himself. this two-track ep features >samba< on the a-side, spreading a warm, if twisted feeling, guaranteed to win over clubbers everywhere with its elaborate build-up. little ups and downs keep the tension at maximum level, real edge of the seat stuff as you wonder what is going to happen next. exciting times on the dancefloor!on the b-side >lambada< keeps the good vibes coming. this track is based around a fresh and versatile percussion set-up, a nicely moving and grooving bassline plus a recurrent chord theme. all in all a very good reason to shake your booty! nice on

train of thought is not only significant for being the latest album by detroit legend terrence dixon but for being yores premiere full length release. the albums tracks range from 80s sounding cybotron like excursions to raw, stripped down techno and warm, chord driven house alike tunes. the double vinyl set includes rapturous settings of synthetic sound and swinging cuts whose burbling keys, pounding kick drums, and brisk hi hats evoke the brilliant sheen of detroit techno. though his music may invite comparison to drexicya and atkins, dixons music often imitated but never duplicated ultimately stands alone.

a fresh new three album track remix ep containing mixes by charles webster, the long term deep house maniac who serves to be an incredibly good choice, will saul, label owner of simple and aus, and a final remix by the man himself phonique. the charles webster remix of worked it out starts off as a nice thudding beat with a crisp minimal click on the offbeat, until an echoing vocal sample swifts in and around starting off the soft but pushing shoulder shifting bass line. smooth piping reverbed blows outline an almost euphoric melody, a very trippy and atmospheric tune with soft cymbals pattering away in the background. soothing sounds and housey chords mix perfectly to make a chilled out dreamy beach tune with a nice progressing beat. a swerling bridge with a 90s casio chord melody steps in and then fades out to the echoes of the vocals drifting silently away into the sun. on b1 its the will saul remix of bang. dun, dun, dun, dun, whoosh! - then a descending high minor melody calling with an electric bass response. squeeky bird sounds and weird reverbed chords makes you feel like you‘re in a crazy dream falling and falling yet the beat keep you stable and composed just about! an out of tune dungeon computer game. strange but true and also very interesting!! and finally, on b2 its the phonique version of space cruise feat. gui borrato. trekking through a spaceship journey tune with mechanical functional sounds releasing here and there. a repetitive two noted melody comes in and fades out, is replaced by an array of spaced out tones, arrivies back again, meets up and resounds into a fanc

in late august we have a fresh and exciting new release from stockholm based dj/producer mikael jonasson. the title track >twenty-se7en< is a cool happy and trippy reduced techno-tune that makes you wanna move your feet, while >dig deeper< on b1 is a dark tune with a nice bass-chord. >chlorophyll< perfectly rounds off this great ep with its dark dancefloor ability. earlier support comes from tom clark and james flavour

sunburst offers layers of eerie, whispered vocals wrapped around a dark and menacing chord pattern. as the track develops though, the chords open out to bring light to the dancefloor and dramatically change the mood into something wonderfully uplifting. marc also offers a reduced version of >sunburst< as a dub to complete the trip. the alexkid remix brings some proper old school house vibes to the mix. alex and his 909 go to work on marcs stabs to devastating effect. all hands are destined to reach for the lasers when the bass-line drops, and just in time for the summer. parisian alexkid works his magic for the remix. alexkid has in the past remixed everyone from astor piazzolla to george michael, provided serious dancefloor fuel with tracks like >dont hide it< and a number of critically acclaimed albums for the fantastic french label f communications

pikaya take to the a-side with a flourish of robes and flashing beams of light. >jedi< is not the track youre looking for… wait, no—it absolutely is the track youre looking for, all mind tricks aside. kicking off with a sparse drum pattern, it quickly shifts from a measured andante to an easy jog, as resonant synths and sweeping filters whip up desert winds and high drama. high, lonesome counterpoints and a moody chord progression carry the faintest whiff of ennio morricones outlaw music, and playful trills—you could almost swear they were birdcalls—suggest a secret oasis hidden just behind the next hill.if you find >jedi< cinematic, then >fango< will really blow your wide-screen mind. starting with a rhythmic underpinning thats everything youve come to expect from a cadenza track - tight, ultra-kinetic, just a little bit jittery - pikaya build up layer upon layer of hazy pads and cool arpeggios that shimmer like the aurora borealis. bullfrog-throated horns occasionally burst in with a fat, amicable fanfare, announcing the arrival of the peak hour. great, unison handclaps play off against heel-kicking syncopations: madness ensues. and then everything slowly, imperceptibly smears together and loses focus, and the tune fades flickeringly away. talk about a double feature! now playing on a turntable near you

slamming hypnotic techhouse action from henry (known from his classic releases on container, harthouse , mfs, superstition...) and denis karimani aka remute. dominated by a sustaining synth-chord, percussive beats and a funky bassline-bit this tune sounds absolutely fresh... incl superb efdemin remix (dial, liebe*detail...)

no, only in sweden definitely illustrates markus enochsons new journey in sound. no, only in sweden is aimed straight for peak time. more techy than markus previous productions, it is a killer house tune with stunning key stabs that build up to a climaxing riff. markus also decided to invite newcomer the subliminal kid to share a slice of this great 12. already hammered by gilles peterson and quoted as his kind of house music, the chord song is an instant classic that could be representing the new wave of house music where boundaries between house and techno are thin and the feel is definitely old school. huge tip !!!

zidan style, chaim & k 300– hailing from tel aviv, one of the countrys most vibrant cities, zidan style has turned into one of isreals most sought-after producers in the last few years. teaming up with chaim aka dj h, also one of the best-known djs and producers in tel aviv as he has cultivated a border community style, a mixture of chicago house, dirty and minimal techno and party electro, the two set out to let their worlds collide in the studio... their two hypnotic yet driving tracks will strike a chord with those who like it pumping with a little touch of magic sprinkled in

supported by: sven väth, steve bug, mike monday, miss jools, karotte, satoshi tomie !! childhoods end is a massively bouncing detroit-influenced tune with a dominating chord theme you will not forget. this track has a story: when we received the first version almost one year ago, we already knew this could be a big one, because of the wonderful chord theme. however, we weren t completely convinced by the mix down. the improvement of this tune became a mental trip for pele. by producing his final version, he acquired so many skills, that with this track he has left his fledging stages – which is why this production is called childhood s end

the godfather of the deep house sound, trent selects a truly uplifting and balearic tinged mix selection of house this second part includes playing 4 the city, cassio ware, patrick green feat ebony, stephanie cooke and lamaj not to be missed

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...

marc romboy in collaboration with nobody else than chelonis r. jones. the original is a deep and tasteful detroitish piece of music including the typical classical chord line and deep strings in combination with chelonis distinctive voice. stefan goldmann (perlon, ovum, innervision) makes an outstanding interpretation

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

poker flat labelhead steve bug returns with a new 12inch, >wet n dry<. >wet< on the a-side kicks off with a punchy kick n shakers and a dark chord which sneaks up from behind and slowly makes your feet move, before the irresistably groovy bassline comes in and paves the way for a slow rising climax. very nice fresh n funky synths take the lead after the break. >dry< on the flip spreads a darker atmosphere with straight up textured cuts and acid reduced elements. synth stabs, a dry bassline and a manic melody sequence characterise the track and start to erupt after the middlepart and tighten the tension

2 straighte tracks von brendan aka beat pharmacy mit psychedelischen soundschnipseln und verdubbten bässen, die an die hypnotische seite von basic channel, deep chord & pole erinnern. gute reise !!

super phatter detroit dubby house mit tiefgang!!! incl remixes von soultek, unai, echospace (for fans of basic channel, maurizio, etc) is produced by soultek & deep chord !! wahnsinns track!!

dj support : 2000 and one, james flavour, jennifer cardini, josh wink... sebbo the first german act on trackdown, sebbo suckfüll and denis gökdag come up with a monster that could already be called >anthem<. the track features a chord sequence that will be heard and remembered. upfront electronic house music meeting funkiness and minimalism. raphael ripperton of the lazy fat people crew, a big fan of the track himself, is on remix duty here. overlooking the lake of geneva from his studio facilities in lausanne, he watches autumn taking a firm grip of the landscape. colors are changing and fog banks hover above the lake. inspired by this view he completely changes the atmosphere of the track while preserving its funkiness. the result is a haunting, psychedelic and equally catching interpretation of the original

wie der titel schon sagt dreht sich hier alles um einen chord, den einen groove, eben um die >basic needs<... darauf kommt es eben an, luna city express sehen das genauso !!!

first remix features rick preston and dtc doing a deep house rework. the infectious groove is set off with crisp percussion, bubbly washes, electric guitar riff and chopped up vocaleffected into heady subliminal hooks. sunny guitar sols, warm chord progressions and timely effects round out the cut. trademarqs approach on their mix is a bit left of cente as they twist and mangle the original. they stretch and deform a few key parts into a truly unique cut. a cutting edge sound with shuffling and jacking beats leading into some massive sub bass and a haunting sustained synth line.chopped up vocals and dubbed out playful piano complete the sound

>einladung ep< features three varied pieces: >get the strings?< builds with loose, stuttering, metallic percussion playing over a locked bass/organ pulse before opening out into a beautifully detailed mix of chords, high strings and clipped vocal parts. >keep it< is a minimal percussion-based track of clicky kick drums and shuffling out-of-time hi-hats. >rhodes island< rides on a warm, repetitive chord sequence that refers back to the classic basic channel / chain reaction template

in the wake of raudive aka oliver ho (podium 1) comes amsterdam native shinedoe who with her 2004 debut >dilemma< (on 100% pure) instantly accomplished what others never achieve: respect and support by the likes of väth, hawtin and villalobos. her style: straightforward, strictly functional detroit techno - with an essential and effective touch of soul. as her debut album is expected for september 2006, we may catch a glimpse into the near future with her track >amsterdam meets berlin.< here, she does what she s best at. she uniquely creates atmosphere with just one chord, relying on the power of harmonies. but watch out. when the dreamlike vibe leads to a sudden change of keys, we re all puppets on her strings.

detroit classic..

phat timeless classic tracks

zwei tracks von brendan aka beat pharmacy mit psychedelischen soundschnipseln und verdubbten bässen die an die hypnotische seite von basic channel, deep chord & pole erinnern. gute reise

this 12inch on cache marks sebastian kramer s departure from a close-range sound that was defined by the labels he was assigned to until now, pure plastic and coda records. tracks on this 12inch cover different flavours of 4/4 beat dance music, with a strong reference to detroit techno. the single kicks off with >m-51<,a dark and deep techno monster track which could be taken as an alternate >matrix< soundtrack, followed by >blue cell<, a chord driven floorburner. on the flip the title track >sunwarriors< – a nice blend of analog shuffle and basslines, think of kms and f-com in the best sense. closing with >rain< a gem with haunting keyboard action

'voyager' perfectly takes you through different phases of tension and release starting with a irresistible build-up where just the distortion of a simple chord raises the electricity topped for even more intensity by frantic hi-hat action in jazz-drumming style. for 'sucre' he teams up once again with qzen who already refined 'sweat' on pokerflat and 'paranoia' (palette034) and gives another alluring performance with understated, teasing spoken words over this gliding, liquid cut. whos the sugar daddy now?

berlin minimal house hero dave dk (highgrade, television, mÜller, tresor, raum...musik and many more) delivers 2 tracks of utter funkiness with his trademark digitised yet warm ultra funk sound. 'jus suckas' starts with bouncy bass joining forces with squirts of cut-up style percussion rumbling its way before the chord stylee strings attack with added sample-vox. great groover we say. 'this is not a problem' goes more sinister and dark afterhours with rolling bass and machine style groove and which makes you wanna drop that **** before dominating synth lines hits the g-spot and you are already teleported to another level. hott

neustadt 36 transfer dub-techno into a further dimension with the track euronion, a build-up monster with massive drum-patterns and a subtle chord-tension, pushing the climax of the track to it s limits. calm down on the flipside with ben & jerry, where ambient scapes float along a deep bassline, glitchy rhythms underneathà.sweet!
