nice upbeat jazz-inflected chicago house

after five weeks of performing and traveling around brazil, long-term dfa stalwart gavin russom returned home with not only a love for the music he’d discovered there - carioca funk, atabaque drumming, tropicalia, south american-style rave.

supported by luciano, chloe, dj seb / minilogue, richie hawtin, slam and many more ...

like his taste of music marcel knopf is stylistically diversified when it comes to the selection of remixers for his debut album. gregor tresher, luna city express and jeff samuel are definitely away on different fields.

the loop:
this nice, funky, underground and late night beat eddie put down represents his origins of funky detroit house fillers … also, columbia style vox sample is a killer on the floor for the best djs with skills ...
let my nuts hang:
eddie fowlkes should change his last name to funky … the whole track is letting his nuts hang for 24 years of putting out release! the groove is out cold, plus what eddie is saying in the track is really true!

tiga continues his series of remix 12 s for songs from his 2009 album ciao! the ambitious project features some of the most respected and sought-after producers in dance music!

esperanza strikes back and does it deep! on this release we have rosarios icon franco cinelli. establishing himself more and more as one of the most respected artists in argentina, francos response to the praising is nothing but better music every second. on the a side cinelli brings us >the sound of the city<, a trippy dubby affair with a perfect balance between modern sounds and oldschool drums. while on the flip, >joint non stop< honours its title with its super driving bass and groovy almost tribalish beat programming but still keeping the dubby flavour of the a-side. enjoy your martini and, of course, another classy affair from mr cinelli

musik gewinnt freunde begrüßt mit der #012 einen neuen künstler auf seinem liebevoll geführten label. adriano filippucci gilt derzeit zwar als geheimtipp ist aber alles andere als ein neuling. mit einem background als pianospieler und jazzmusiker sowie fundierten kompositionskenntnissen ist der junge italiener mehr als vielversprechend. seine city lights ep bestätigt die vorfreude: deep und warm, mit rhythmen die aus der hüfte kommen, hat er hier ein par tranks abgeliefert, deren drive einen einfach nicht loslassen.

return to form (take that, haters!) hits at the body repeatedly, slamming away with a lack of abandon and a new sense of protocol. major stars are known for being psychedelic rock journeymen (and journey lovin women), but of late, their rocks psych roots seem to be dyed platinum white, with a truckers cap shoved on top of the whole mess. its jukebox ready hard rock with a hallucinogenic edge, sure ? or perhaps its just the impact of their triple guitar git down, causing your head to throb with concussive force? dont worry, long time star children ? these guys still jam, but they ve got short numbers too, and wailing, roadhouse vocals sailing over the punch ups. a terrific variety, but a return to form? pffft! what form? these guys have been in plasma state forever! whatever form it takes, thats what it is. and major stars are presently shining on in white dwarf style ? compacted, but with a violent gleam.

grant nelsons mighty swing city rightly has a reputation in the industry for releasing nothing but the finest house music – since its inception in 95, swing city has been a benchmark label for many of todays leading producers to aim for, with its distinct mix of vocal, dubby & just downright awesome tracks. their first vinyl release of 2010 offers a rare peek into some of their unreleased classics – never seen before, and featuring remixes from jazz n groove, warren clarke and of course grant himself.

ltd backstock, for fans of revenge & greg wilson!! frankie foncett, one of ministry of sounds first resident djs teams up with the kosmetiq boys for an exquisite lesson in what happened when disco went electronic. pure class, this is already finding itself on the playlists of the cooler jocks, riding the crest of the 80s boogie revival. file under electro-funk as this evokes happy memories of new york in its heyday, city heat are the real deal

men in trees are back with their third ep on its own platform audio parish. this time they take us with a healthy portion of groove to mango city. once there, we meet barfly, this track draws us immediately into its spell with its deep character and hypnotic groove and the insane vocal part in the break. this give us finally the feel we are actually in a smoky bar in the middle of mango city. this is an amazing super warm and rollin piece of house music. alabasta on the flip, with its bright and massive sounds, is a dry forward rolling peak-time-mover. this track is jaunty fun that will get the crowd moving for sure. return to mango city is the next killer release with the typical men in trees-groove, two different house tracks, which will provide a lot of dancefloor action.

fat city recordings and prime numbers present the much anticipated album in the red by trusme.

prime numbers are back with e11.... the latest in the pn e.p series. three exclusive tracks by mr scruff & kaidi tatham, motor city drum ensemble and andrés! this time we feature a heavyweight collaboration between mr scruff & kaidi tatham who provide a smouldering jazz-house production with kaidi leading the way on keys and flute on top of a chunky, bottom-heavy groove. motor city drum ensemble drops a killer raw cut. a heavily smashed jackin’ disco workout with all the markings of a fine cajual dub or early striclty rhyhtm. the track oozes soul and is unpretentiously aimed at the dancefloor. once again danilo plessow proves less is more. andrés completes the line up with a cheeky blend of some classic ingredients. sounding like a track from his early releases, “jack city” has all the essential hallmarks of the andrés sound with an excellently simple but purely effective fusion of house and hiphop ethics

7 oz. records has come to its 4th release in vinyl. label founders siddharta and mr. rovat have finally put the last touches to their musical debut with windy city lights, an explicit dedication to the sound which influenced them in the 90s. its an ep which relives those chicago and detroit atmospheres, enhanced by the solo trumpet played by acclaimed musician omar valle, who gives it a unique jazzy mood intertwined with drum machines and old school tools, an attempt to have the record play in an analogic manner.
the remix was handed over to none other than to brothers vibe, an historical name in the north-american deep and house scene. the result is filled with dub echos, undoubtedly detroit and perfect for any set!

having taken care of business in spectacular fashion with his carnage track on mote-evolver back in september, ortin cam is back with more of his trademark floor-shaking futuristic techno!!

the yore captain returns to his own yore imprint on the labels 21st release. shadow city presents different visions of funky house grooves. the a sides the y theme gets deeply moving with a funky house pulse before stoking the fire with the addition of speaking voices (trippingly intoning the q&a what are we doing this for? and the music), a move which single-handedly jumpstarts the track. after the voices appear, the grooves intensity escalates and plunges deeper, its gyroscopic house swing becoming more dizzying and torrential with each passing bar before coming to an acidy storming end. in its opening moments, shadow city opts for a deeper and more serenading vibe by comparison, but thats traded in for a slinkier attack at the three-minute mark that grows progressively more ferocious as the track makes its drastic upwards ascent. a trippin dangerous murder weapon to say the least. watch your heads! the b sides b2 track, mumbai dweller keeps the focus primarily on the bottom end, specifically a strutting tribal-house funk groove thats dragged even deeper by a throbbing bass undertow, adding dark chords to it, giving this ep a darker feeling towards the end. to sum it all up: this is raw house music at its best!

nice jackin house track with cool sampling action by serbian artist, who already released on dj mes guesthouse music label!!

electric city (original) is a classic industrial techno track combining the driving force of relentless beats and bass with the huge rooms the that roland drum machines open up when you put massive reverb on them. its hypnotic and psychotic sounds appeal to the primal side, driving you to forget about coolness and unconditionally express yourself to the beat. uplifiting and dark at the same time, electric city echoes the high tech metropolitain dystopia we live in today. >echoes< presents itself with a forward marching industrial beat, piercing synth lines, and sweat inducing rhtymic patterns. its psycho bleeps are pure industrial funk. when the vocal sets in youll feel the relief on the dancefloor as the straight forward groove brings out the primal need to put your energy and emotion into expression: dance. function s remix of electric city is dark !!

a rare conundrum ist 1977 wieder in england aufgenommen worden. bert jansch hat das album zusammen mit seinen kumpels rod clemens (bass/lindisfarne), pick withers (drums/der spaeter zu dire straits wechselte) sowie mike piggott (violin) aufgenommen.dieses album stellt f?r jansch eine kuenstlerische rueckkehr zu seinen folk wurzeln dar, es bietet wunderschoene folk instrumentals, sowie irische traditionals als auch langsame bluesstuecke an.

warehouse find of this moodymann classic. limited stock!
produced by kenneth dixon jr, this is the follow up to >i m doing fine< 12 with amp fiddler (mahogani 2 is only available in detroit apparantly..).
>runaway< is a one sided 12 with a lo-key vibe. it has a nice deep kick with claps added and fading away as the track progresses. also nice keywork again, crowd noises etc. quality! this one is probably gonna b rare not so long from now. huge tip!

catalog number 004 on four roses recordings is yet another sublime release of the motor city drum ensemble. following the success of his first single for frr, breath control, danilo plessow this time brings us two quite unique tracks: the a side (sunsequence) being a dark, repetitive and haunting piece of post detroit techno which continuously builds layer upon layer, until it finally explodes: the pulsewave drones, jupiter chords and 808 patterns will cause maximum effect on the dancefloor. feel the love on the b side slows things down a little, but keeps the dark mood, adding some of that old school sample flavour to create a trippy afterhour track, that sounds different from anything you ve heard lately. ltd restock

killer detoit house classic, ltd backstock

factor city is proud to welcome on board berlin-based producer alexander kowalski with this >puesta de sol<. alexs accomplishments need no introduction, we all know his productions and his amazing live act. hes been years producing cuts of cutting-edge techno for the likes of kanzleramt or different. now he just launched his own label damage berlin. his debut in factor city >puesta de sol< is an enormous peak-time club killer. on the flip stimming remix shows why hes one of the rising producers at this time. his rework of >puesta de sol< is just another step forward. he delivers a stripped down warehouse version full of tension and surely another hit.

after a brief hiatus, we return with a delicate slice of wax that epitomises what ldr stands for ? new, original music from hardworking, young artists. after the success of datas >blowpipe< on ld5 and a string of genre-busting releases on labels like metalheadz, critical, revolution and tempa, data brings us a grimy gem in the form of >liberty city blues<. incident from hungary and paul sg from austria blew us away with this track which featured on our recent knowledge magazine cover cd mix.
>liberty city blues< is a minimalistic piece of jungle music reminiscent of early photek or source direct. from the outset the tune just bubbles with menace and keeps on building and evolving throughout. a pure bass-heavy slice of proper jungle.
>autumn drops< is a soulful roller that shows that this crew are ones to watch in 2010. full of melancholy, icy vibes and a subtle basslinethat gets right under your skin, this track is a firm favourite for this year.
