the saga continues with this incredible paradise ibiza sampler 5 feat david vendetta, da fresh, superfunk & rob carroll, dim chris...

played by: ricardo villalobos, sis, nick curly, anthony collins, chris tietjen, robert dietz, markus fix and many more !!! a resident of the respected mono club night, felix neumann is one of those producers that live music on a 24/7 basis and his productions just keep on coming and growing. we are very happy to have this talented 21 year old in our artist family. the title track put it back is a fresh sound affair and a guaranteed club banger, as tested by most of the mitu family djs. the pumping groove will keep the crowd on its toes and the pinching vocals will have them asking for more. rough is a track that could almost be described by its title alone. it is a steady and solid track that showcases felix s versatile approach to music. that versatility extends to the first b side track. acento is an elegant musical exercise where house, percussion and jazz harmoniously fuse into a track with a strong dance appeal. the last track on this release brings out a heavy-deep-bass vibe. chemal will make your head nod and your body get loose, without you knowing how it all happened.

remixes by dominik eulberg, max cooper and mig dfoe !! supportetd by laurent garnier, richi hawtin, hot chip, markus kavka, piemont, chris liebing, gregor tresher, mihalis safras and more

alex finishes some dark experiements in the lab with this first outing the black series from credo. from time to time you can expect some really dark approaches to the technoside of life. the kick off now with the dark summer nights, pt1 flows constantly and pushed forward through some low chords which finally return to a super low bass-driven drumming pattern. the second part is kind of fragmented, alsways evolving and finally finding the way to an rolling end, somehow even more dark than part one. this is gets huge support already from the likes of len faki, speedy j, chris liebing, gary beck and the other usualy credo-suspects. the bacl series will be strictly limited to 500 copies onlyfor each release!!!

the upper austrian youngster has been addicted to electronic music since his early youth. after experimenting with different kinds of music he was fascinated from techno and house music and decided to buy his own dj equipment. through his outstanding talent in mixing records it didn t take him much time to be booked to local clubs and festivals. due to his unmistakable style of djing he attracted the crowd and found his own place in the austrian house- and techno scene. after his successful start as dj he started being interested in producing. at the moment he is expanding his international career and producer skills with the music association >elmart - electronic music art<. in october 2008, his stunning remix of chris eckers >when they say hello< was released on the german label >resourced music<. a month later, mike absolom released his first vinyl single >from absolom to heaven< on >elmart<. in 2009, he did several remix projects for mike turrentos >tele commander< on >elmart<, stefano vozzas title 2 on the irish label >dublin xpress records< and rob glennon on >nice &nd nasty records< with other remixers like orlando voorn, paul mac and many more

for release n° 28, long-time clr artist alex bau returns with two massive new tracks full of good ideas and positive energy. chris liebing had the pleasure to play out the disaster-mix for quite a while and to convince himself of the unexceptionally sensational crowd reaction. the rhythm is permanently varying, the atmosphere often changes immediately and the sounds come and go in surprising ways.
the flashback-mix is wonderfully thrifty and has a powerful bass. alex bau once more shows versatility and dedication to experiment with rhythmic and sonic possibilities. the slow building and the subtle use of beat variations and breaks underline the almost mesmerizing effect of this outstanding groove.
chris liebing considers the clr 28 the best alex bau release on clr so far and is already looking forward to your comments and critics.

the first of the rising music summer series 2009 comes from chris lake & lys. lake & lys >violins< is a dark and uplifting slice of house. a hypnotic violin loop over throbbing bass and snappy tech rhythms. new kids on the block sour grapes provide two astonishing remixes to complete the package.

with a plethora of well received releases on labels including creative source, exit records, dnaudio, quarantine, critical and shogun audio, survival?s deep, organic sound has rapidly earned him a reputation as one of the true craftsmen of modern drum & bass. collaborations with d-bridge, break, silent witness, fierce, sabre, chris inperspective and zero tolerance clearly illustrate the respect he commands from his peers.

besides the sublime original version, the >bloodstream ep< also features three exclusive new mixes, each teasing out the songs grace and power in vivid and unexpected ways. the berlin-based producer and remixer henrik schwarz, one of germanys most respected djs, brings his trademark love of jazz and deep house to two separate versions.
schwarz s club mix re-engineers the track as a sleek dance tune, speeding up chris vocal into a restless, nervy, emotionally naked torch song. his dub version, meanwhile, builds into a hypnotic instrumental collage of bubbling beats, twinkling pianos and elastic basslines. at over seven minutes long, not a second is wasted.
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. it s a playful and vibrant fusion, where soul-baring yorkshire poetry meets sleek french disco chic.
