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.

>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.

swinging and jackin chicago house tracks - surefire hip shakin bizz!!! cant afford to miss this...

hot city is dropping some severely skewed house music, twisting it up with his own blend of jackin chicago house, 2step/ukg, and bass bumpers. with only two tracks sent out to a handful of the finest djs around in the past few months, he s secured two gigs playing out at wifey, certainly the most fun club in london at the moment, and managed to generate a fair amount of hype already:
- smash, this is a mega rave hit bro, nice one! - drop the lime (t&b / nyc)
- very nice, thanks for this, will def play it - hudson mowhawke (warp / glasgow)
- i really like both these tracks, kinda minimal garage, very cool - hannah holland (batty bass / london)
the tracks on this new 12 inch build on the momenetum, with two tracks of stripped down dancefloor killers - >yeah!< is a monster builder, all todd edwards style swing and tight edits with crazy deep kicks, chopped up vocals, old school piano stabs, soaring strings, and hands in the air breakdowns. already being played out by drop the lime (check his latest exclusive mix for fact magazine where he opens his set with >yeah!<). >head work< on the b side is on more of a masters at work/harddrive era tip - deep garage beats tripping over themselves, burbling oddity synths, shuffling snares and the weirdest vocal melody breakdown/build-up ever!
the originals are complimented on the 12 inch by two remixes - tvo takes yeah! to another dimension altogther with a head destroying 140bpm hardcore junglist remix. on the flip, san franciscos eats tapes take >head work< into the wonkiest area of minimalist techno, showcasing their totally unique take on future groove.
the ep has been mastered by the irrefutable shawn hatfield/twerks special touch, bringing out the strengths of each track and tweaked for that perfect crisp warm vinyl pressing.

the end of the world is near, only survivors in the city of the future where there is no trace of life, two brothers roam the apocalyptic climate. a war among justice and david guetta has lead to the annihilation of electronic music on earth two years ago ... desert in the city is a call to remind dancefloors of the planet that techno is still the source of the digital world.

andré decided spontaneously to record fresh material especially for the label, more than 6 months before our fi rst release. this says a lot about the common trust that was born that day, much before the hype surrounding the man. the result of this saw the light some weeks later in the form of vehemence of silence, a track of indeniable power which breathes long years of djing & berlin afterhours as much as uncovering close impressions of andré’s emotional outcome. this is what made me feel that track like a whisper to my body & soul and what makes me so proud to release it today… more than 10 months down the line, andré improved it, tested it on the fl oor till a fi nal club listening session in the middle of the berghain dancefl oor where we both knew it was ready to be shared… this special track needed of course outstanding alternative perspectives and it didnt take me long to propose my old friend danilo plessow amongst andrés favorites to give it his magic : motor city drum ensembles version translates an unexpected techno jam reminiscent of the best early soma days. the ep is completed by a second original called dark edge, a sophisticated & raw deep house joint. a&r and words by dairmount

city wasteland comes as a full cd as well as a split in two 12inches including some tracks that are vinyl-exclusives. sebastian lohse a.k.a. break sl from dresden is still quite young, but you can feel that he already defined his own universe of sounds and proper production skills. the second 12inch (city wasteland pt.2) now starts with the track move! which doesnt carry it s name for nothing - this is true-school techno! next, dirtbomb shows some nice edges and has a kinda dark feeling. hovering samples and a raw, dirty feel on the drums gives the whole track a very subtle blues. on the flip break sl enters deepest territory of detroit-influenced techno with weird dancer. the last track here tff is a vinyl-exclusive which delivers intense and acid-like drum layers ... chicago galore! thanks for purchasing a real copy!

a temporary sabbatical from gigs was taken and the band wrote material for where were you when it happened in new orleans midtown district, where their rawboned compositions resembled the katrina-pummeled surroundings. with their girlfriends with them in as close to a stableenvironment as they d been in months, they were able to tap a darker, more personal side in songs like as noise, and hunt you down, with its mournful, organ drenched air belying monotonixs typical good time charlie posturing, while fulfilling the albums need for a climactic, balladic moment. where were you when it happened? finds monotonix visiting a greater diversity of places within their sound while still retaining their minimal appeal. mostly though, where were you when it happened works up a sweat with raw rock and roll, acid guitar licks and riffs, screaming choruses and, in general, the wildness of monotonix in a way that makes for repeated album listening (and pummelling). where most bands refine their production sound as they go forward, monotonix have reverse refined themselves, playing dirtier and more energetic to capture the lightning they are known for.

the new, first time ever on vinyl 2lp reissue of a long way around to a shortcut is somehow a greatest hits of the golden not quite decade of sic alps. well, not quite golden, either. can gold be tarnished? can it be done on purpose? if so, sic alps are artisans of the highest order - for their music is the bright, surging sound of ye olde rock & roll radio (and the garages that tuned in) heard through air darkened with specks of nameless obstruction. in and amongst their ingrown sounds, sic alps take on classic tunes from strapping field hands, throbbing gristle and the zipps on a long way around to a shortcut. it is to their credit that they completely absorb their estimated predecessors and create the only sound left to them: the sound of the sic alps. a long way around to a shortcut was issued as a cd in 2008. it collected songs that were first issued throughout the epic years of 2006 and 2007 on two 12inch eps, three 7inch singles and a cassette, plus a song from a compilation cd r and a song exclusive to this compilation. the records were originally given titles like united, strawberry guillotine, semi streets, hip hop sweepers vol 1, teenage alps, and the soft tour in rough form, but all these original releases are long gone.
