umek with frieds on this 4 track vinyl

ramona is pretty nervous to welcome a new name to her ever-growing happy family. in fact, its actually an old band member. christian beisswenger alias cb funk alias one half of arto mwambe is not exactly one you would call a stranger. for >77 reasons< he debuts as the citizens band with some novel sounds on risky grounds. in love with details, fragile sounds, little tricks and with a fine ear for the action, the band leader tiptoes into deep bleepy house just enough to call >west 42nd< exactly that. >77 reasons< however plays around with a memorable little melody, a skanking lead and some boom sonics. whatever you want to call it, ramona is fine with it. orson and kane would be proud.

played by reboot, joris voorn, martinez, christian prommer, lee curtiss, sis, ... ever wondered what a butch diana ross on acid might sound like…? well youre about to find out… but before we get to overside, youve gotta enjoy and marvel at the sheer brilliance of the rest of jairo catelos latest offering on silicone souls darkroom dubs. our man from the asturias has rapidly built a strong and loyal following thanks to his beautifully crafted house cuts. jairos ability to bring together dubby textures and an innate soul within his productions is most enviable. his warehouse ep features three original new cuts backed by a rework from french house guru, phil weeks. lead cut soul school is something of a two-headed beast. whilst its kick-drum and dramatic synth stabs drive it with a serious dose of funk, it still retains a warm-summer soul that will keep the fillies moving. then, as a little sax break goes to our head, were flipped and the beats and bass get sleazy and old school. killer! mr. weeks beings some 90s flow to the table on his remix. working the guitar licks and bassline hard but always retaining a smooth as silk groove, phil shows just how to keep the dancefloor cookin. a beautiful house record from one of the very best. >yairos 303 acid< mix of overside finds us getting upside down and inside out. serious funk with an injection of some classic acid styles. final cut >the shake< sees jairo roll out drums. a lazy bassline is swarmed by ripping snares and a host of percussive sites and sounds. a perfect close to a pretty much perfect ep.

nice price deal !!! the first release from il bosco aka christian wood aka woody aka crowhead aka nudge! a man of many names he has been part of the make up of manchester club land for many years. he was resident dj at fat citys infamous friends and family night & a recording artist for grand central and aim’s atic records during the noughties. after a couple of years hiatus he’s back out of the studio with four tracks and taking a new direction. the tempo is up and a mutation of old school rave, italo, house and electro is in the offing.

rebuilt album is a lp from ethnik groove that includes 6 new remixes from some of the classic tunes (funky moment - gotta go - unexplicable life) produced by paul eg with two bonus tracks. after several singles in collaboration with international renowned artists such as eriko tanabe, quantec, jeff bennett, davide squillace, florian meindel, markantonio and umberto carmignani, ethnik groove has invited benja, david lazzari, paul eg, reto ardour (switzerland), lee burton (greece), philip braunstein (brasil), jeff bennett (sweden). they frequently release outstanding lp on various international labels. these artists were chosen for their musical feeling and for their collaboration on brilliant tunes released on ethnik groove and minimo imprint, our techno-minimal division. musical approach the concept was to regroup artists with a diverse range of musical flavour in one lp to obtain a non -superficial album. the original tracks have a different approach from the techno tunes produced nowadays. the idea was to keep the same groove with a current trend to allow the artists to add their own musical flava in a defined style between techno, minimal and tech-house.

south of croydon raised christian sibthorpe (aka a1 bassline) sent over a few things over the last 12 months that really had me paying attention. but it was jessica (j. phlip) ended up being the first one to drop falsehood at the spring dirtybird party in sf which pretty much sealed the deal. it just smashed the room to bits. later on i met christian in person when he helped me do a live radio show at rinse fm in london along with ben westbeech and we agreed there that dirtybird would put these two tracks out.a1 claims to have been heavily influenced by early metalheadz and you can really here it on these tunes. while buoyancy is a smooth pulsing affair that really shines in the deeper mixes, falsehood (which we are re-releasing from a1s tighten up label) really buries the hatched in your brain with bits and pieces of 808s, breaks and house hi-hats all forged together like hot iron.

supported by 2000 and one, carl cox, christian smith, deetron, ellen allien, ida engberg, joris voorn, marco carola, monika kruse, nic fanciulli, shlomi aber and more.
there are few artists making great music full stop and keeping it tight and delivering quality each time they release music. kaiserdisco are definitely made in germany and a duo that therefore has the respect of the whole dance scene. kaiserdisco manage to pull off that contradictory trick, producing modern cutting edge tracks with a nevertheless timeless and classic feel.
>kuala< the a-side track is an ethno natured track with lively bassline and uplifting small melody stabs, smithereens of vocals and a superb drive. beneath all of this you find the kaiserdisco fx department works with every possible production skill to keep the seemingly never ending loop active and rocking. >kuala< is a firework of a rhythm monster!
for the more traditional kaiserdisco fan, you will find on the flipside with >singa< another powerful tool of a track. kaiserdisco keep a beat tight and introduce a lot of rising cool sounds building up lots of vertical hands up in the air energy!

uk producer and bass culture regular, mr. g makes a welcome return to the label with his latest three track bonanza, >gs spot!< ep. with last years >extended pain< ep still causing damage, mr. g tweaks and teases our senses once again as he electrifies with both sides of the vinyl release. the vinyl only title track, >gs spot!< sees him stamp his authority from the get-go. its big-room reach is unquestionable as it builds from its opening bongos and hi-hats into an intense number, driven by its demanding horn stabs. having ramped things up from the off, on the flip >new dayz< brings us back down, if only for a moment. like an alter-ego to our a side, >new dayz< opens with piercing bongos. its soothing synth laps like the tide as it builds to crescendo and then soothed by its bassline.

after being wowed by christian smiths superb remix of carl craigs >at les< the legendary underworld listed it as one of their tunes of 2010 thereby planting a seed in the veteran producers mind. a mutual appreciation and the aforementioned events have resulted in smiths biggest remix yet – the reworking of underworlds seminal >dark & long<. coming in two versions, both of which have won immense support from the band themselves, the christian smith remixes of >dark & long< take the track in to new territories respectfully and skilfully. the tronic treatment mix preserves the vibe of the original perfectly while adding a condensed but slow burning feeling of tension which explodes into the epic break we all know and love. the hypnotica dub version underpins karl hydes classic vocal refrain and the rich synths of the original with an ever-changing, guttural monster of a bassline that adds a whole load of understated aggression without ever taking over the wonderful melodies.

the new age sound of frankfurt! hot on the heels of massimiliano pagliaras praised album debut focus for infinity youll find a neat 12inch of top-quality remix action. first up, frankfurts version of a young peter daou aka phillip lauer (arto mwambe, brontosaurus) and running backs gerd janson (who spend a big deal of his youth trying to perfect a weak bobby konders mimicry) team up as tuff city kids. offering two takes, pagliaras >a wrong chance< gets split into a sweet layer cake of bass, synths, strings and for those who are faint at heart, an additional riddim version provides hidden acid fantasies. upside down, oliver hafenbauer and christian beisswenger (arto mwambe fame again) keep on exploring their sharp electro funk under their b.h.v.f moniker. with a playtime that exceeds nine minutes, you get right twists and wicked turns and most of all sounds unheard. modern music with an old-fashioned style of lovin.

having subtly seduced us all with their debut single, ants, london based duo elephant return with their second seven inch offering on memphis industries. french-by-way-of-pontefract chanteuse amelia rivas met christian pinchbeck back in may 2010, since when they have been quietly creating some hauntingly fragile songs with a sense of mystery and history that belies their teenage years. so side a, >allured< strips away layers, to produce a pure expression of the confusion of love (and lust). amelias disjointed lyricism speaks of anatomy and of carousels, hinting at both the poetics and mechanics of unrequited desire. and on the aa side >actors<, elephant explore the tension of attention, both the craving to be noticed and the desire to melt away into the crowd.

after two re-releases of conrad schnitzler classics, (zug & ballet statique) now m=minimal releases a completely new work from the pioneer of electronic music. conrad schnitzler is a sound explorer. for many years, he has been on expeditions, journeys through his collection of electronic synthesizers almost every day. sounds he liked has been conserved on tape and stored in his sound library. the result is a huge library of audio files, he calls them >solen<. >borngräber & struever< have got the chance to examine that library and started to con-struct new pieces out of the hidden gems. these are not remixes but new compositions. none of the sound combinations were thought or heard before. the 8 tracks form an album independent of any trend and therefore it becomes a real acoustic environment for everyone. the album was produced at studio.wannsee. to give the album more authenticity, the complete audio processing was done using analog equipment. they not only used many classics among the finest synthesizers and outboard equipment, but also custom built tube gear. the icing on the cake are the tubes used from the 60s, which bought christian borngräber on a trip through the atacama desert in a small radio repair business in the city of calama. thanks to the desert climate even the packaging of the tubes looked as new

augmented third. our third ep introduces the ordinary subject - title of the latest project of alexander siegel and christian scheel. infected by creating sound - generated sensory input – they are both enthused by the same. following this idea, the ordinary is certainly not able to enhance a current perception of reality, but the augmented, however, can. the ordinary subject truly live music in an irrational way and aren t it different views that can complete a perception? to get an impression of what we try to say, tune your ears and listen.

supported by: reboot, dubfire, ewan pearson, samuel l session, raresh, tim xavier, christian smith,.. with oliver deutschmann & ed davenport polytone proceeds on its way to focus on exceptional artists who have something really profound to say musicwise. quite slowly, but highly stringently deutschmann and davenport build up this musical journey until, without really realising, youre in the middle of a very slamming house track of a truely oldschool kind which gains further drama due to subtle chord changes. in his remix, matthias vogt from motorcitysoul further emphasises the tracks house character by adding more chords and then lets the deepness culminate in a wonderful break. robert bosco totally breaks out of the traditional catgories house and techno and combines the best of both worlds in his remix distilling it to a kind of essence of electronic music. all three tracks have in common an immensely consistent approach and a pleasingly trend-resistant understanding of deep music
