two cover versions taken from the essential album gitano real. >i believe in miracles< is an overwhelming take on the jackson sisters classic in a rumba funk fashion. party stomper! and on the other side, a longer trip departing from mcfadden and whiteheads seminal >aint non stoping us now< and touching the revered latin disco version of charanga 76, only to end up as a fabulous clap-driven rumba stormer. two very necessary sun-soaked tunes for any self-respecting dj on neat transparent yellow vinyl. and yes, its a limited edition!

wild rumpus is bitches brew head honcho colleen cosmo murphy (cosmodelica / classic album sundays) and former captain beefheart axeman and jeff buckley collaborator gary lucas. with wild rumpus they bring together seemingly contradictory sounds such as disco, rock, surf music, blues, dub and country while enlisting some extraordinary talent along the way. his latest effort is the most indulgent wild rumpus song yet and is somewhat of a cross between ashra temple and giorgio moroder clocking in at an epic 12 minutes. the remix is courtesy of mudd and has balearic classic written all over it. the single also includes an instrumental version of >tikkety-boo< which is a preview to the vocal version with lambchops kurt wagner which will be featured on the album.

grime has been clawing its way back to the centre of underground uk music in a big way recently, riding a new wave of credibility in futurist iterations from terror danjah, hyperdub, and butterz. but with the rising profile of figures like slackk and the eski-aping sound of becoming real and sometimes jam city, theres been a pseudo-lionization and a growing mythology surrounding classic grime. honestly, its been a long time coming, the music is legendary for a reason. terror danjahs new(ish) hardrive label takes a bold step in 2011 with a sharp look back-ward, and in typically cyclical fashion it feels perfectly now. dating all the way back to 2004, p jams >anger management< is a minimal monster of a tune, slamming with the same slurred and blurred percussive elements of wileys essential >ice rink<.

big with: marco carola, raresh, robert dietz, gregor tresher, daniel sanchez, ekkohaus, chaim, gel abril, bart skills, martin eyerer, pig&dan, richie hawtin,..
the two dutch artists warren fellow and michel steinbach team up again to show what good dance music is. but this time they give their debut on mannheim based label circle music. again they created a unique eclectic mix like they did on their successful cosmic ep in 2009 or together with legendary todd terry with >got a soul< in 2010 where they proved that they are very able to handle house music. on the a side we have some straight beats with classic percussions at the beginning. but very soon fellow and steinbach come around with some synthesizer hook which melody is quoting the nineties. the vocals only brings it down to a round figure.

braille serves up a firing couple of tracks on rush hours direct current sub label.... tip!! braille is better known as praveen, who forms sepalcure together with machinedrum. he uses this new alias for his house orientated output. >the year 3000< is a vocal house mover of anthemic proportions. it craftily reworks a classic chicago house vocal and gives it new life back into the future. banging! >leavin without you< is built around a heartfelt vocal soul sample, which cuts in and out of the mix leaving room the music to take off leaving planet earth.

a new 3-track 12 by canadas solvent, known for his melodic electro and vocoder pop releases on ghostly, morr music, and his own suction records. for minimalrome, solvent debuts a new approach, so please dont expect any sweet solvent melodies this time, in fact, dont expect any melodies at all. here solvent delivers 3 tracks of pure bunker/rephlex-style acid, monotonous and pounding. fasten is the most straight-up acid track present, nothing but 707/606 percussion + x0xb0x squelch. latch and secure are more dark, abstract, dirty. secure is epic madness, clocking in at over 16 minutes, at times slow and prodding, elsewhere growling furiously in sheets of distortion. every track has been edited down from hour+ long hardware studio jams, with the computer acting strictly as a multi-track audio recorder. solvents customized acid box, a heavily modified x0xb0x, features heavily on every track, alongside classic techno boxes like the 808, 101, and pro one. limited to 250 copie

if you are reading this then you most likely are familiar with the latest addition to the thema stable. it means that you have likely experienced the prescient, monolithic funk of his groundbreaking minimalism series. it may mean that you have witnessed one of his rare, raw and raucous sets of densely layered classic/future techno. we are damn sure it means you have heard, absorbed and been educated by his blistering intoxicating work on germanys tresor label and the legendary metroplex releases as population one or his influential utensil releases. the man in question is, of course, detroits own understated, underrated second wave techno soldier. the master of repetition: terrence dixon!

re-release of this 1990 soulful deephouse classic, produced by larry heard aka mr fingers.

come end of may, dancefloors will be overdosing on awesome music. legendary dirty man housemeister will blow out his third mother-l fucking-p >music is awesome< for the wicked, and rave will reign again. but you can’t just stick your face out into this kind of quality noize - it would mini-melt right off, see!? so housemeister took instant classic electro anthem title track >music is awesome< to some players and friends and said >look boys, i m putting out a smaller dose upfront so nobody will die on the dancefloor, now who s gonna help me save some lives?< everybody was in on this ep effort, of course.

with its intriguing melodies, strings and piano orchestration, >silk city< has got modern classic written all over it. nathalie is a jazz singer and the tone of her voice reminds of telepopmusiks >love can damage your health<. fred everything once again steps up to the remixes with a straight forward modern house production and a dub that brings back early influences of mauritzio and mood 2 swing. hope you enjoy the release as much as we do.

danish duo laid back made a most surprising comeback to the clubs in 2010 with >cocaine cool<. not that they had ever been really forgotten: their electro pop classic >white horse< remained a sure shot in clubs for the thirty years after its release 30 years back and a constant inspiration to boatload of diverse artists from techno to hip-hop. >cocaine cool< was recorded at the same session but the ironic vocals ridiculing label executives blowing up their frail ego with the chemical substance were deemed to risquee at that time, so the recording collected dust in some box until last year. bostons >soul clap< another duo hailed as one of the hotest things in clubland known for their eclectic funk-rooted taste. they opt for a cool sparser arrangement leaving out the “white horse -like chords. a loose, dry electro funk beat, hpynotic one-note synth, few dub effects and additional vocoder vocals do the trick bravorously. besides an instrumental version theres also a harder jacking dub take sounding like early chicago house edits. and while the boys are add it they also re-edited another huge one from laid back: >baker man< that managed the unlikely balancing act of not only hitting it bigtime in the charts but also in the emerging balearic scene. this 12 inch is cool in every which way!

when delorean toured with teengirl fantasy last spring they told us about a song that had really blown them away. when they shared it with us we understood why. it was called >cheaters< and sounded like an instant classic. very different to the trademark psychedelic jams of the duo, the song was homage to classic chicago house from a modern perspective. built around layers of blissful synths and borrowing the vocals of first committees >cheaters never win<, it had that kind of energy that we sometimes miss in contemporary dance music. later that summer, john talabot visited new york and became aware that the track was going to be released by true panther sounds only as part of the album >7am<. something sparked inside us. we felt it was not fair that such an incredible track had to share its vinyls grooves with other songs so we thought it would be nice to dedicate a full maxi side to it.

the first immerse release of 2011 sees the label taking on a fresh approach while retaining the same atmospherics that have made it an essential fixture in the bristol music canon. outboxx are made up of jacob martin and matt lambert, and their sound is rooted in groovy, analogue house music. with an emphasis on jamming, theres a loose, live feel to these tracks that has an instant appeal but drags you deeper with each listen. >kate libby< kicks off on a swung beat and warm pads, before dropping down to p-funk bass and sparse synth flourishes. >berties groove< places jazzy rhodes playing at the front of the mix with a classic drum machine workout ticking away in the background. this is soulful, authentic house music with not a clinical midi pattern in earshot. despite coming from a different angle, the outboxx tracks slip neatly into the immerse legacy thus far, pointing the way for a year filled with more of the spacious, haunting club music the label has become renowned for.

los angeles legend david alvarado makes a special appearance on h&v ! salazar pays homage to carl craigs uber-classic >at les< ! hand stamped / custom embossed sleeve design. we are proud to present los angeles legend david alvarado making a special appearance on h&v. david has always been a big inspiration for us - a classic dj/producer and artist of the highest degree. this release sees both santiago salazar and david alvarado forge instant classics that transcend time and trend...

limited pressing on white wax !! sublime deep techno feat. killer sandwell mix... surface re-emerges from the murky depths of londonshire with part 2 of the new project / sub division >beneath the surface<, a series of releases forthcoming sporadically over the next year or so, delving beneath the surface and blurring the boundaries of the deeper shades of house and techno. between worlds sees sandwell district team up with nick dunton of 65d mavericks fame with an ep dedicated to long time friend and nicks fellow maverick richard polson r.i.p. the a side sees nick delivering his trademark emotive sounds.... lush harmonies, deep drones and echoing stabs line the track whilst the phasing drums, keys and melodic sub bass keep the journey moving beautifully towards a crescendo of harmonic drifts. on the flip long time friends of the label sandwell district strip back the layers with a special mix for rich. sandwell move the track towards the dance floor with rumbling bass lines and crisp beats morphing in and out of lush sustained textures. this mix bears all the signatures of yet another classic sandwell district track coupled with a pure and deeply felt emotive touch! timeless and beautiful, this is a heartfelt tribute to richard and is already receiving widespread support from those in the know!

its been 2 years since benny rodrigues last release on be as one and since then, the young dutch producer has pushed forward his career, both in the studio and in the dj booth. having remixed people like josh wink, dj pierre, justice, spirit catcher to name just some and released on ovum, poker flat, figure, klockworks, with a busy dj schedule in clubs as berghain or rex, at his young age benny is clearly a well respected artist. benny rodrigues interpretation of acid house takes the form of i like acid, and surely it sounds classic! acid synth madness like in the old days but with an updated touch to rock the floors in 2011. choice hypnotic appeal will not get unnoticed on the floor, once again a track that finds its strenght in the basic structure of its arrangement, effective drums patterns with a freakish top line that carry the track into peak time. steve rachmad remixes as sterac are always a treat, and here the techno legend doesnt fail to impress once again with his take on bennys i like acid. snares, hi-hats, rides and bass, all arranged to build up to a melodic and emotional breakthru, dancefloor bliss for the detroit techno heads. to close this amazing package, germanys own mike dehnert brings his trademark sound to be as one in the form of his remix of i like acid. a tune that finds its perfect habitat in dark, smokey and sweaty rooms with massive sound systems.

and we continue the album package with the second part of his debut album called >durch und durch<! he has already made his name in the music biz with his releases on afulab like bango banger, bam bam bam, abfahrt ep and numerous others, but always delivers his most advanced and progressive productions on his motherlabel afulab.
the first 12 inch contains four tracks in his unique peak-time style, dancefloor fillers for sure, that has found its way into the cases of many big and diverse names like richie hawtin, 2000 and one, butch, stephan bodzin, mihalis safras (felix is one of the hottest producers!), also. this is his first long player that will be released as three coloured 12 inches and the third will include the cover to fit the three maxis and the album cd with extra tracks ! this package will surely be a nice collectors item and a classic in the everlasting felix bernhardt series.

surprising release by gerd on the basement series with an old classic themed techno track he found on a dusty dat tape while archiving some old recordings. somehow a traditional techno track with metalic basslines, stellar string sounds and retro futuristic vocals with a classic theme... time & space. the original slower paced version did get an reshape/makeover that gives it a 2011 update that will be a standard record in the box for many! remixers on duty are rotterdams duplex duo who are back in business and deliver two remixes. timeless tracks that will stand out between all dj tools!

excellent deep house classic

the miracles club is a group from portland, oregon featuring members rafael fauria, honey owens and ryan boyle. fusing elements classic chicago acid house, world music, experimental pop and contemporary dance. they have been adding a new and vibrant energy to the west coast us club scene over the last 12 months. cutters records brings us the >light of love remixes< ep which has all the makings of a mid 80s house party except on the dance floor is a giant cosmic rug to float you through space and time. >light of love< is the psychedelic piano house jam from the deepest depths of a dank dark rave cave and cut copy have reworked it into an entrancing dancefloor gem. also included is a dubbed out house mix by new yorks ever-consistent neurotic drum band. and dont sleep, because on the flip miracles club journey into classic 909 house with two versions of their jam >so hot<. it feels like the second coming of jack, but believe… its the rise of a new dawn!

worst friends is ryan cavanagh and john paul jones (no, not that one) from brooklyn. they are also known amongst the beards as tom croose and slow hands. we actually suspect they are pretty good friends … making this sweet sweet music together and all … oh, and they just had a cool record out on oz-label future classic. the music sounds very unlike any short persons playing sports of any kind though slow and low is definitely the tempo. there is the beautiful balearic original, eric duncan gives us a psychedelic ride on the disco carousel and prins thomas channels the song through recently aqquired skills as a choirboy and 4 finger keyboards chords…. oh my….

two tracks that spit in the face of all those harmless, flat and cheesy >we want to be played by everybody< productions and its of course alex who takes the risk. supersonic flattens down everything with an incredible bassy basis which even almost sucks the bassdrum. classic techno and a sure shot on every technoset. centerangle on the flip is kind of slowed down and much more adventurious compared to supersonic. the breaks and the startup after them are causing riots in alexs sets right now the crispy, powerful production of this tune is nothing else as another example of alex trademark: techno in its basic sense!

after touching the sky with the first 12 inch, the fiakun boys come back to load a second reference signed by robin masters orchestra. oliver marquardt in collaboration with desney bailey bring us to a classic house tune, full of nuances and romance >dance with the moon< is completed with two high level remixes. sasse, on the one hand, reinterpret the original with a lighter mixture that brings us to a more organic scene. on the other hand, matthias vogt, draws us with a more mixed present, leaving aside his musical education to give us a very very tasty remix for hot nights

welcome reissue of this super-rare 1978 disco classic from greek singing superstar demis roussos. the extended mix of l.o.v.e. got a hold of me featured on this highly-collectable canadian 12 inch pressing from mercury was a massive favourite of david mancusos at his legendary loft parties and understandably so. a tight percussive groove topped with beautiful swirling strings and the big mans soaring sexy vocals, this special long version provides ten minutes of blissful dubbed-out disco heaven which still rocks dancefloors today for any dj lucky enough to have a copy. the flip is also rather good, with i just live, a very useful funky workout with another positive message that includes some fantastic percussion and great harmonica action. top class!

kicking off 2011 with a killer e.p. is our favourite artist art bleek featuring a number of remixes from the new art supplies album released on loungin this month plus some fresh cuts exclusive to this release. starting the e.p. is a floor filling remix of clap your hands by our own trevor loveys. the original has been out for a few months in the blogosphere and has been picking up some heavy props. next up is hold it (a little longer) where art shows off his true talent of the master of the musical groove with a rolling bass and a choppup vocal lick to keep the party rocking. flip over to side b and you would be excused if you thought someone had swapped the record out for a disco classic. with vox by noelle scaggs and a harmony that nile rodgers would be proud of arthur creates a boogie classic that is very much flavour of the moment. following on is an exclusive remix of the hunt dance featuring the unmistakable voice of ursula rucker. the original on art supplies has had such amazing reactions that we all thought it would be hard to better it, but again arthur has done it delivering a groover for the heads. finally is right on featuring l.as finest charlie sputnik. art delivers a more techy grove to this classic which is a sound he is becoming more recognised for which contrasts so will with charlies trademark smooth vocals.

the dazzling maiden release for futureboogie recordings comes from one of its creators, julio bashmore, an artist who represents a vividly bright and unshackled future for uk electronic music. fusing a classic soulful house sound with a hint of chi-town and future garage, >father father<, is a welcome introduction.
an instant classic thats full of warmth, >father father< wont fail to capture the heart of those that experience the piercing originality at the centre of its modern soul. from its soaring melodic chords, spacious percussion and crisp hi-hats to the silky vocal talents of fellow bristolian javeon mccarthy that lift >father father< to anthemic heights, the title track is a enraptured sonic treat.

>bussin down< is the first planet mu single from chrissy murderbot, who comes with a style inspired by his chosen city of chicagos juke and footwork scenes. he playfully mixes in elements of other styles of music he loves, such as rnb and dancehall, to create lively mutations with a warm hearted mass appeal that comfortably straddles genres. >bussin down< features chicago footwork supremo dj spinn over some tasty footwork tracks featuring spinns instructional lyrics, over some high speed jazz funk and cracking claps and klaviers. next track >braaain< is a unique amalgam of footwork with the classic early digital sleng teng bassline. the blend works fantastically, as chrissy slides the originals vocal in and out of the mix in a dub style. on the b-side atki2 takes album track >the vibe is so right< featuring vocals from mc zulu and runs it through a lush treatment that mixes detroit washes with tight, laidback, rolling funky house drums, to instant classic effect. on b2, chicago footwork pioneers djs rashad and spinn send the originals vocal into a whirl of complex delays and layered loops over cold drums and hard techno stabs. just the faintest taste of what is in store on the m-bots incredible >womens studies< album due soon on planet mu.
