if you like the disco feeling and dance to house, this mugwump record will be right up your street. the uplifting and percussive original version of >tellakian circles< gets a slightly deeper treatment by the runaway

10inch !!!! this is something special. 10 years after its very limited release (simply due to a low budget and limited sales expectations, not to try and make the record scarce), norm talleys the journey is picked up by a a few hip berlin djs, and a fire starts with the record being offered on ebay for over €100.00, because nobody can find a copy. even norm had to borrow a copy when he went to dj in berlin and the berlin party crowd had already asked him to confirm if he was bringing the record..no joke. so here is that tune, the journey, now re-mastered by stefan betke and cut by andreas@schnittstelle, and sounding very nice. on the flip is the unreleased in yo soul, chosen by third ear to complement the journey and complete a full on in your face piece of norm talley groove. and to round it off, its on a 10. cool and compact. just like norm, who is known in the dj circles of detroit as a secret weapon.. need your party fixing?... call norm talley. serge at clone kindly added a few words... nice re-issue of an obscure dj favorite produced by norm talley and previously released on the nouveau riche label from detroit. here you have two tracks that turn out to be great dj tracks when played out loud. the journey somehow got lost in obscurity. but luckily someone was clever enough to get it back out again, together with the previously unreleased in yo soul, and here they are... 10 inches of pleasure! pure detroit house music as we like it

medias have stated recently that the number of millionaires is still rising every year... funny or scandalous? while others are sitting greedily on their fortune, one of them, kind of musically obsessed to say the least, keep to share his assets with the lucky few that will hold a part of his twelve inches serie in their hand. still getting another round of applause for the third offering that impressed quality djs from all circles (from milez benjiman to marc mac, passing by prins thomas to chateau flight), the selfmade millionaire is gaining more supporters release after release. this time, he is tributing the greatest boxer of all time and his legendary shuffle techniques in a funky boogie way with nearly 8 minutes of irresistible feelgood grooviness. many things have been said about this highly influential character, but few know that his boxing moves would have originated some freestylin’ breakdance figures. one more reason why the milionaire wanted to encourage you to do the ali...wait to flip the record to get another punch! even gave you diamonds is a restless groove that could transform an egyptian mummy into a marathon party goer with its numerous hooks, clavinet stabs and powerful catchy vocals. the tune seems to be about a guy whos really tired of his posh lady who cannot get enough of all her fancy gimmicks. would our milionaire gone autobiographical on this one? who knows...

labelowner alex flatner teams up with lopazz for their new project on cirle music! incl remixes by damian schwartz and reboot

masters of disaster welcomes the well known artist robert natus, who delivers an awesome 3 tracker for his debut release on this label. these tunes show a different face of him, showing his ability to combine groove and massive sound with soul and deepness without loosing the power he stands for

this selection is based on over two decades of deep dj experiences. the impact of seeing jazz dancer, michael knot of idj, dancing to acid trax by phuture, in the back room of a pub in teddington, produced one of those seminal moments that, gilles maintains, radically changed his view of acid house. it is important to say that this is certainly not a club album as some of the predecessors in this series have been.

canadian producer glenn morrison normally teams up with deadmau5 but he is making some great tunes under his own name as well !armin van buuren: support on circles on my podcast and radioshow!sander van doorn: love circles, full support!
