darling farah is like a shot of adrenalin, administered by his own mind to escape from the anesthetized music scene of his home, the united arab emirates. despite living in one of the most club baron countries in the world and a city that actually prohibits live music to be played in public, the talented eighteen year old has managed to master the art of production and therein spawn an underground scene all on his own.

auf in the woods entpuppen sich die einst so träumerischen francis international airport als ehrgeizige tüftler und kreieren mit verlaub Österreichs album des jahres 2010!

the distinct trademark of a bara broest beat is the soft but deep kick, the rolling house-groove just around 124 bpm combined with very heavy dub-bass-lines.

psycatron are made up of bbc radio dj and producer paul hamill and superproducer dee lievense who has worked for every label under the sun from nrk to plastic city. last year proved to be a calendar full of landmarks as they pushed to the next level with a string of high profile productions being released on some of the world s most respected labels. in addition receiving well deserved props from some of the biggest names in the business. right now we bring you yet another pumping and jumping hit from the amazing irish duo, song titled... she is music. it was destiny for this release to be presented to you by detroit based label planet e. during production of she is music, psycatron had been on the look out for a great vocalist to work with. it just so happens while flicking through their record collection when as if on accidental purpose a dog-eared 12 inch of visions of you appeared and the penny dropped. right there it was evident that blake baxter is the one. blake is respected as genuine firstwave motor city. its an honor to have him on this record.

the journey begins with lose my life. lady blacktronika lays down her soulful vocals, deep bass and moody keys over simple and captivating motorcity beats. deep, groovy and hypnotic, the overall sound is far more than the sum of its parts.

windy city producers steven hitchell and josh werner continuing to challenge and confound expectations as antenna international drops >fractalrip< a speaker-melting 303 drenched bomb from chicagos southside, harkening back to the earliest days of outlaw warehouse and loft parties this track is already doing damage in the crates of justin long, traxx and adam marshall. while on the b-side we partner with fellow chicago independent imprint nation to bring the >preludes and nocturnes< mixx of >introspective< from traxx faith cd to light. this version has been put through the sonic cacophony that is hitchells echospace studio, packed with myriad gadgetry of assorted compressors, delays and the infamous echo chamber to create an ominous, building, dark entity not for the faint of heart.

mataduo is a project created by two young italian guys, francesco resta and alessandro sensini. they live in bologna and they are resident djs in two different but very important club in the city as cassero and kindergarten. they started this project (mataduo) about 2 years ago with the intent to create a tech-house sound out of the trends of the moment and characterized by a strong bass and percussions suitable for different kind of dancefloor.

wave music presents its newest release under the milk & honey moniker with additional production by boyd jarvis. the original long version is a beautifully drawn out symphony of strings and jazzy keys over a sultry downbeat and lazy vocoded vocals. consider this gold for fans of 4 hero and all lounge-core/downtempo fanatics. the flip however is boyd jarvis uptempo dance floor phenomenon. inserting a heavy and pumping bass line and adding xylophone arpegios alongside congas, organ synth and space atmospherics make for one wild galactic journey. think kevin yost remixed by salt city orchestra and you are right on target. slamming!

if there is a driving motive at the heart of gavin russoms latest project, the crystal ark, it is to create music that communicates and compels physicality and movement. a listen to the projects first single, aptly named >the city never sleeps<, reveals a track as tireless as the title suggests, and russom as a visionary who crafts invocations to move. with his second release under the crystal ark moniker, russom is just as focused on eliciting movement, but deftly avoids repeating himself. unlike its hypnotic predecessor, which slow burned and subtly seduced listeners to physically respond, >the tangible presence of the miraculous< is explicit in its urgings û a composition of nakedly energetic and urgent inducements to dance.

fourth single cut from the latest kuniyuki album >walking in the naked city<. a side,>set me free< was a most clubby tune on the album.kuniyuki edited to bit dirty and more funky. this track is all around for the fan of francois kevorkian to villalobos. b side,original version of >strom< was a classical ambient house track with female vocal. kuniyuki edited to instrumental and added stronger beats.this new version remind early production of blaze or danny tenaglia. both tracks are deep and emotional and lovely dj tool. its real deep house.

one year later the label panacustica delivers a slamming second twelve inch rats mother followed by a brilliant prins thomas remix, plus a detroit inspired instrumental by stay gold, argentoÆs alter ego. the record opens with a dreamy version where a plucked string intro and rats voice drive you into a deep, cinematic, adult dance groove. this laid back, psychedelic track flows well beyond your usual dance floor act into eno-esque territories. prins thomass mix is faster, happier and jumpier. its an amazing balearic trip with a live warm feel to it in which a guitar plays along the melody, accentuating the spaced out feel of the track, lifting it into higher states. stay gold gives the listeners a techno version where sparse, mechanical drums and a minimized melody take us to the motor city (citta dei motori) for a night drive in the dark. own it, feel it, play it loud.

massive support from all keyplayers worldwide! techno from jena city strikes back! douglas greed first single on dekadent and maybe one of his best so far. after his wellknown releases on freude am tanzen, infine, acker records, ostwind and lebensfreude, mr. greed shows us his straight techno side of life.

already getting heavy rotation from the likes of hot city and mj cole, these four tracks span the spectrum of current uk club memes, from the 2step rhythms of title track >what makes you so special<, the slo-mo house of >face up to your sensibilities<, through to the todd edwards influenced of >prayin to t.e.<, and the moodier down-tempo sound of the closing >cakes, biscuits, and hows yer father<.

michigan central station built in 1913 for the michigan central railroad, was detroit, michigans passenger rail depot from its opening in 1913 until the discontinuance of amtrak service on january 6, 1988. at the time of its construction, it was the tallest rail station in the world. the building, located in the corktown district of detroit still stands today, though it remains unoccupied. restoration projects and plans have gone as far as the negotiation process, but none have come to fruition. spread throughout the city of detroit and its surrounding metropolitan area, the decay of once magnificent buildings during the industrial revolution and automobile era now cast a shadow of despair on a once flourishing city. these monuments of achievement now lay barren and forsaken by city government. infrastructural restoration and city development are fundamental elements in detroits recovery, and the recovery of cities worldwide. it is time for revival in our cities, but first, in our souls. the michigan central station ep is a platform for this change.

after his highly inspiring releases on detroits mathematicsa, quintessentials (uk) and yore (germany), marcello napoletano is back with another adventure into house music. again his unique way of keeping a detroit / chicago sound freshly alive comes neither from the beloved ghost town nor from windy city - marcello napoletanos source of deep madness is based in lecce, a small countrysided village in italy. from here he spreads his deepness all over the world, representing the 8th outstanding issue of laid records.

new label from dublin club promoter conor lynch. conor has been djing and promoting the pogo night for a number of years now, and has a very diverse music policy, with the underlying ethos of anything goes, as long as it is quality. guests have ranged from theo parrish, b12, carl craig, optimo through to the ting tings. the aim is to transfer the ethos from the vibrant club onto vinyl. this is certainly not the reason that we would consider taking on a label for distribution, but the fact that this release from dublin real techno producers tr-one, is as beautiful a slice of deep detroit styled techno as your likely to hear his side of the motor city, certainly is.
