supported by alex attias (planet e), italoboyz, karotte, sebo k, raresh, d julz, funk d void. michael melchner is barely at the beginning of his twenties. at the moment deep house of the late nineties has to take a shine to him. in the detail it gets clear, that this is not only a copy of an epoch, but a certain vibe, which is going to be transferred into the present. this vibe with his warm sound, the well dosed house beats and a strong musical sense is hearable, but this sounds by no means antiquated. on a-side several instruments like percussions, xylophone and samples of an mexican trumpet make sure that there isn’t only an exiting variety shortly before or after the primetime, but also a proper portion of itchy feet. with the both tracks on the flip-side the whole spectrum of michael melchner becomes clear, at the one hand a clear view on the dance floor with classical house beats and on the other hand a musical character, which one misses in many current productions. >chen chen< is slightly more co plicated and more rhythmic whilst >nothing happened< is a pleasing leaned back dramaturgical subtle house piece with a distinctive bass line and interspersed voice samples.

techno phunk vibe with a clear techno beat !! plays by butane, someone else, motor and garnier..

two building up monsters with very precise production and clear mixing. these tracks will dominate the floor for sure and drive people crazy with their hypnotic style. the return of a. mochi, who made his name not only with releases on luke slater s >mote evolver< imprint, also his last kumo-release was a massive success by finding a way to combine shaky minimal grooves with the energy of clearly arranged, straight techno

support comes from adultnapper, italoboyz, jimpster, karotte, laurent garnier, david keno, pheek, sasse and sebo k. it has been clear since his very first release, in late 2006 with ‘auftrieb’ on karmarouge, that alexander roland is an exceptionally talented producer. at 17 years of age and with little more than one year since his first production effort, alexander roland releases his second 12 on karmarouge

incl remix by h.o.s.h.!! played by james holden, ripperton, phonique, someone else, stephan bodzin, mark august, sian. lucy builds up a menacing wall of sound in just under 8 minutes, inspiring the listeners imagination, like >summery drumming< before. oscillating melodies and strings condense to a dark blade runner type scenario, driven by a crystal clear snare drum

supported by 2000 and one, adultnapper, josh wink and jamie jones !! too many cooks spoil the broth? not at all. in case of the slackly formed gentlemen chris gruber, holger brauns, kid kazaam and nils nürnberg two tracks appear which bring the wide spectrum of straight, hypnotic and deep house surprisingly clear to the point.

nice price deal !!! noir presents black magik with fuck me on just for fun recordings could quite easily be billed as porno house, as its clear that the new wave of danish dance is not only aiming at the alternate dance market, but could well be playing a starring role before the sun rises on another summer season.

on the previous release of dualblock taras van de voorde, estroe and thomas lauren all dropped great tracks. on this release the same three dutch producers are represented. thomas lauren on the a-side comes forward with >fairwinds gossip<. a quality track that is great for warming up any crowd. on the flip side estroe takes us a little deeper into the night with >beatbox contest<. a techno based track with a nice drive, making clear estroe is influenced by the detroit sound

its showtime, everybody! youd better clear the decks for ginos & snakes circus ep! after their powerful releases on confused, the 2 french guys connected to the oxia & the hacker posse now proudly present to you some brandnew yet still burning club tracks! and while the trapeze keeps on swinging, the jolly clowns will take off their red noses and rock with us to circus and metro area! no question the ringmasters andreas henneberg & marquez ill will splash out with a king-sized remix! circus is fun! with hot support from: monoroom, oxia, the hacker, miss kittin, huntemann ...

as on his first 12inch hidden structure ep, finland based producer rasmus hedlund is delivering his follow up with uplifting, energetic and ass shakin future electronic music. the opener >tasureitten jaelkeen< is a combination of the deepness of house and the direct drive and aggressiveness of the monetanous techno sound, stirred up with that special, classic and timeless feeling while the a2 takes the vibe harder with layers of pacy minimal soaked rhythms by remixer uemit akauna and his fresh mixing gives this track a real big system bass edge. on the flip we have kolinator, a more percussive tool and the b2 skuuges taas. all four tracks are aimed squarely at the dancefloor, with straight forward 4/4 beats driving through raw synth stabs, minimal percussion and deep bass - a clear-cut killer groove record which nails the crowd to the floor!

limited clear vinyl limited to 250 copies.. funky melodic futuristic robopop electro stuff

a very special compost release with two very rare tracks! the a-side features a great remix of beanfields >tides< with amazing vocals from bajka - of course its not quite up there with the unbelievable carl craig mix but then that would be an uphill struggle. ripperton from the lazy fat people adds his moody, deep slant to the track, less anthemic than carl craig but a more than welcome alternative. this mix was available for a short time as bootleg with ricardo villaloboss remix of depeche modes >sinner in me< on the flip and sold out quickly despite the poor sound quality. finally, one year later, this great tune sees it official release completely remasterd in chrystal clear sound - get it, play it, love it! in 2006 the duo tom wieland and marc frank - better known as 7 samurai - crafted a fine remix of invisible sessions under their panoptikum moniker. when michael reinboth considered this remix for his new future sounds of jazz compilation the guys decided to contribute even a little bit more: an excusive new version which became a definitely highlight of the whole compilation. the panoptikum 2007 remix surprisingly takes a leaf out of innervisions book for a smooth deep houser with a slighty techy sound and a touch of detroit in the vein of Âme or henrik schwarz. in contrast to the vocal version included on fsoj this 12inch features the trippy instrumental version. ace stuff! two must have tracks - all killer, no filler!

planet rhythm presents two of the hottest dutch techno concept around. audio assault labelboss bas mooy has shown to be a talented producer over the last few years. the man from rotterdam has stayed true to the darker sound of pure techno. radial sky-rocketed due to their dinner releases and global airplay. jeroen liebregts and laurens van der starre produce a crystal clear sound filled with impressive sub tones by the likes of surgeon, christian wunsch and oscar mulero

another bomb that will definitely not make it through airport security undetected. explosive kicks serenade a nasty acid line over a signature dalessandro-style vocal. this peak timer is no holds barred techno armageddon. new york based clink rec artist elon makes his debut appearance for the siteholder team with a storming remix. twisted effects, a unique take on the vocal, and a pulsating bass line define this hard-hitting approach. fearless in its pursuit and certainly without any room for prisoners, this re-working of >are you there< comes out of the gate sprinting and never lets down. another successful new york-chicago connection has been made. rounding out the ep, brian ffar follows up his highly successful >ballroom hustler< ep with a take on the single reflecting his cultivated production style. an atmospheric tech house approach reveals well-placed synths over the drawn out vocal from the original. but dont assume this is child s play, ffars kick drum isnt afraid to pummel a club systems subs. the avalanche inducing bass line that follows caps off this fifth siteholder record with a very clear message: >are you there< is serious business

that gel abril is destined to be one of the main producer of 2008 is already clear to a lot of djs and producers worldwide. be as one, ovum, renaissance all these great labels have already put their hands on this tel aviv based guy, and the remix package of his new single >your face is a mess< including three of the most interesting artists of the past year, is just a confirmation of gels destiny to climb up high. deetrons not a stranger to the electronic music world. hes been constantly in the spotlights of the scene for many years, and now once again he proves why. his 10 minutes marathon remix on the a side really stands out for its superb programming throughout the entire track. starting building things up slowly it relentlessly delivers the goods with one of his best work to date. on the b side, its the hottest uk techno producer mark broom who joins the be as one crew bringing all his experience to serve the cause. another winner! closing the package, itamar sagi, one of baos new artists, delivers a very interesting and original >jazz meets detroit< mix and gives the package the right balance between the techno genres. a storming rework from a fresh talented producer that cannot help but keep the eyes of >those in the know< down on him!

ultrphat bassheavy italian minimal techno bouncer by dyno/check

both tracks written and produced by chris liebing at studio one. (a1) supported by ali (deepdish)!! the a-side >bangpop< is at first obviously driven by a central bassdrum. little by little, it steps into the background and makes room for the fine and striking, hypnotic sequences. that sounds good already, but gets polished by a snaredrum that simply makes you happy. a little hit? we wouldn t be surprised. on the b-side we are facing >puckelbop<, a 12 minutes long monster. a good example for how efficiently a bassdrum and a sequence can clear an aisle into a forest. no tree will remain standing – theyll move! clr20

limited clear vinyl 6 track mini lp

jose manuel alvarez (dubbyman) is also head of deep explorer and he launches his new deep house label. three fantastic dubby deep tracks with an hypnotic atmosphere and a crisp clear sound.

this third release is finally lead by its mastermind monsieur claude monnet.the pioneer of ethnic and exotic contaminations creates a sort of bridge between ancestral hypnosis of african tribal movements, haitian voodoo incantation and the third millennium dancefloors. a strong cascade of rhythm modulated by a deep and vibrant drum framing a mysterious dialog between an imaginary witch doctor and a persuasive feminine voice and bringing the listener in a state of trance able to carry body and mind away. monnets lesson sounds highly clear, few elements developed with masterful creativity and an unconventional dealing of music composition make at its best the real essence of house music. firmly balearic approach

hot electro trax mixed up with warm melodies and exp. edits on a special limited clear vinyl press

for its 9th release, red factorys label owner redhead is back in action with three wonderful melodic gems. support comes from angel molina, gregor tresher, laurent garnier, monika kruse and karotte

already support by james holden, ripperton, anthony collins, sian. nhar has been releasing stuff since 2005 on labels like mobilee, plak and modelisme. with dont forget to lick, the frenchman has conjured up a real booty shaker from the depths of his hard drive for meerestief. summery drumming on the other hand by lucy, comes across tender and almost fragile. the artist hails from paris and released his formidable debut glass computer on rippertons perspective label. his contribution for meerestief is a fabulous track with dreamy pads and surreal sound, riding on a clear kick drum. it is a movie sound track and a small symphonie a the same time!

peter introduces himself like this, >ive started making music with an oric-1 home computer in the middle of the 80ties, later the commodore amiga was the flagship and then....the casio fz1 and now i use the galaxy of software and the korg mx1, roland tr727, roland jx8p, korg ms20, yamaha tg33, yamaha dx7 so i guess that it makes things clear, peter is one of these producers that uses older analogue machines along more recent software gears. and you can sure hear it in its productions, it sounds huge, powerful while style wise keeping things on to the soul filled part of the dance floor. peter delights us here with two stunning tracks that contain modern beats structures echoing rather old school house patterns and hooks. as always with peters incredible music, originality, surprises and ingeniosity are 100% at the rendezvous

rocky electro/neopop. limited clear vinyl pressing. includes burial dubstep remix

with tuomas salmela aka phonogenic, we welcome one of the most established finnish techno and house producers, with releases on 2020 vision, poker flat, moodmusic or f-com-munications. salmelas sound has something dark, reminding of the long finnish winters and cold nights. he does not feast in old times or posts the question of oldskool or newskool, but simply has produced something really new, without getting lost in clicks n cuts or doing too much sound research. phonogenic uses sentimental harmonies and stringent direct beats, that dont need complex building arrangements, but come to the point rather quickly and make clear where the journey will take us. similarly to guy gerber, phonogenics productions also are somewhere in between techno and houseand even use elements of trance. however, salmelas productions always make the impression of being well planned and moody

nice price deal !!! supported by carl craig! 80s electro wave funk with a clear link to freeze, esg, cure, kraftwerk and t. dolby. first 400 copies come as gold vinyl in transparent sleeve!

great follow up to the first part !! these are four especially wonderful, deep, clear, kicking and pumping tracks. a picnic in the techhouse land you never want to end, so fresh, free and so complete. involved in this project are stefan mallmann (whirlpool sex), el farouki (plastic city), neurotron (deep records) and m.rahn (trapez, regular). these four people have found their place, a far away island of musical ideas, which has to be discovered

made up sound constitutes finest broken detroit tracks of clear, crisp and sharp intensity . >sleepwalk< invites on a journey into an ocean of detroit techno sound: always holding you in line and on track, never wished to neither halt nor end. >699< logs misinterpretation of code, reports failed man-machine interaction caused and eventually leaves both as audible result. subsolo continues true techno music coming from d for den haags dave huismans a.k.a. 2562. fresh tunes anyone? there you go

killer set of remixes from mr west london himself phil asher.... pure house stylee of highest order. with headphone drones intoxicating organic funk (may2007), blackjoy offered us a delicious bite of his forthcoming first lp, time. well, its time for another one, with metalbossa. a true dancefloor smasher with an amazing three versions remix by phil asher. the restless soul vocal mix on a side will keep you dancing all summer long: some heavy production lifted by sandra nkakés incredible energy, plus heavy trippy funk elements. on side b, with the dub mix and the beat version, restless soul makes a clear statement: the party just never stops. guaranteed to fill your dance floor.

if zox was a sculptor, his works would be angled and polished, simple and magically effective. no sound on this record (which is called >more fluff<, which astonishes me) hangs around too long between the acrylic clear beats, the square waves are bellied and cold as vodka from an iceberg, the higher frequencies refreshingly cool as hills in the highlands, and straight lines are the dominating theme by far. this is dance music in itself. the basses live in rich bounteousness which is strictly controlled, though. why boom it when you can bang it? perfect shapes, functional beauty and a refreshing taste will rock you.

bugz in the attic member seiji with the first of 2 vinyl parts of his dj tools selection on sonar kollektiv.with a hint of grime, broken beat, hip hop, 80s funk, but also easy listening, its most clear that fast paced, tight breaks dominate plus typical bugz ingredients such as square wave synths and the infamously fat bass lines. these sounds would suit dj sets from broken beat through to drum & bass and on to electro

re-press of dj chus classic track !!! limited clear vinyl edition

the long a-side is reserved for bülent gürler and his project bee-low. >the hidden noise< is a neo-detroit-screw of the plus 8-hawtin school in a very popular plank of the minimal-rave. a track like evolution. antonelli digs, as >random aficionado<, a handful of melodies deep under a rave that is hardly recognizable as such one. he removed the snare completely in favor of a more effective feeling of the song. that s the way deep-house should sound and the way you always imagined it. no frowst, no references, just clear warm water. martin hirsch, alias deer, lived in devon (uk) for a long time and was an immediate neighbor of lee norris, also known as norken or metamatics. recently, the two of them have revived the connaisseur label neo ouija and that will surely do good for the cultural environment. and they have decided to start a long-ranging cooperation in terms of producing records. an outcome is >beyond the breeze<, a piece of house music whose title couldn t be more precise... sasse, giles smith, jeff milligan, laurent garnier

balkon number 009 is the first part of the long waited compilation called: we are not detroit. we are destroyed. it includes tracks by balkon artist and friends like the first track which is a cooperation between matt star and berovic&leicher. 3 fold mode is a clear tool which shows the more techno side of balkon, the same for newcomer ben hoffmann who is putting out his first release with >dunkelrotes flimmern<. the b side of the ep starts with a track by davor o., also young and really talented producer. last but not least the labelboss popnebo takes out some chords to honor his street a track called florida blanca. lets say the compilation tries to give a review of techno and house music which is focused definetly on moving the parts in your body below your belt

in the a side, undo & vicknoise, the masterminds of the label deliver their most tense and baroque track ever. to the simple kick-snare of the beginning they add progressively a distorted and powerful bassline, and omnipresent xylophone and some sub-aquatic melodies factor city school that will give you the creeps. sistema and his other self in full-moon nights, show in >te tazas< its best-known face: dark and epic tunes with a slight taste of 90s sound. hands up for mister coromina with >dancing and confused< he delivers what will be a sure hit forgetting the sound we were used to listen in his productions alongside undo. as you hear the track and its persistent jaw-dropping bassline, the best productions of carl craig and Âme will pop up to your mind showing clear influences of the new generation house music. youll dance more than c3po in a gargantuan spin-dry machine !! supported by: laurent garnier, funk d void, kiki, the youngsters, stefan goldmann, donato dozzy, mathias kaden, sian, glimpse, jesse somfay, karotte and angel molina

monomachine behind the name monomachine lie two well known musicians of the spanish and chilean electronic scene respectively: iñigo oruezábal and francisco allendes. this adventure in minimal code, sometimes more techno and others more house oriented, gathers all the background and joint professional experience of both artists, as a result of years of individual experience in the best dj booths and studios in spain and south america. its a sound that relates directly with the vanguard sounds in the current electronic dance music has its main target in the dance floor, not leaving aside a high quality production which results in an intense and clear sound. here are their latest tracks, released on catwash records.bomb jack on the a side is a tweaky, techy, track with jungle drum and percussion, and a soothing constant bass line that makes this track a great connector in any set. ghost and goblins on the b side starts out with some rhythmic minimal bongo drum sounds before a deep echoey bassline enters and kicks the track into its real journey. the contrasting synth sounds add flavour that turns this into a good boppy track that will get the peeps grooving on the dancefloor!

forteba was born and raised in hungary where he chooses the occupation of an electronic music producer at the age of eighteen. his early compositions were settled near breakbeat and chill-out area but he soon found his passion in straight rhythms and arrangements inspired by german deep-house stuff. he likes to embed various elements of dub and ambient into straight clear rhythms, so his borders of style are hard to define. he produced some successful singles in his home country as >the garage< together with gábor pasztoriális and got released at hungary-based underground labels……

l delay is all about the drama—but at the same time, its skipping hi-hats and ringing bells suggest a carefree spirit and a supreme lightness of touch. talk about a duality: a cloak of reverb sucks the track perennially towards the dark side, but from the gleeful syncopations to the cheekily sampled live instruments, everything else opens up to the light like a morning yoga position. there s no funny business here, just tight rhythms and emphatic phrases that command bodies to move. its a monster of a track, but it must be of the loch ness variety, because youll never see it coming. on the flip, >frost< —haunted by the same high, lonesome string note as >l delay<— might be even more energetic, if that s possible. the high end has been smoothed down, and some of the roughhewn chicago edge of its companion tune sanded smooth, but its crazily syncopated standup bass line and distant, answering keyboards is all muscle, tensed and ready to explode. spacious drum tracks clear the floor for flashes of tambourine and handclaps so dry you can taste the salt on em. again, no nonsense is the name of the game: just raw, unadulterated funk with an ear for playful rhythms and limber moves
