after the classically inspired, yet devilishly modern tech-house statements on his last e.p for dessous, comes this too-hot-to-trot release from uk young blood burnski. building on the solid, no-nonsense aesthetics of his previous work he presents his unique vision of today‘s club sound. quite the picture of current hybrid trends, between old vs new, ‚draw your sword‘ infuses classic chicago jackin‘ beats with a soaring, building anthemic hook. the track builds insistently with a tough, pushing house flavour yet reminds us not to get too carried with a tense and teasing breakdown structure. smart stuff that‘ll have you reaching for the rafters, in a moment of freshly spun dance music euphoria. ‚sleep‘, on the flip side maintains burnski‘s clear love of the deep, jacking grooves of our american cousins, painting a vivid and bold picture of modern, teched-up soulful house music. an irresistible nu-jazz-house riff slides between the silkily sharp drum accents, building throughout and once again providing the dancefloor with some serious moments of tension and joyous resolve.

momentum welcomes another hot shot on the label. rickzor from ibiza delivers 4 fresh and amazingly clear productions on the flagship-label. he made his name with his outstanding release on chris liebings spinclub recordings in late 2008 and this ep catches up with it, no doubt

we say hello to an old acquaintance, who finalizes this limited series. the puzzle is complete and the aricebo message should be clear now. luckily fbas speaks loud and clear. two driving tracks that should fire up any galaxy. earth to space... here we are! this is part 12 of 12 in this series. collect them all.

sweet 16 is a perfectly judged slice of disco punk, producer grahmzilla hooking up a beat which sounds like the clash hanging out at studio 54 while isis tells of the joys and dangers of being sixteen and ruling the dancefloor. its not clear whether the natural stage genius (time out) is encouraging under age sex, cautioning against it or just suggesting engaging in some healthy exhibitionism. whatever the message she makes it sound great. cruise low is as low slung and bass heavy as you d expect from the title, isis whispering about popping the trunk with a mixture of enticement and threat. bonus track whateveruneed is an epic instrumental electro symphony from grahmzillas hard drive. ny mover and shaker eli escobar rounds out the package with a mix of sweet 16 which harks all the way back to planet rock...

because of the keen idea to have at least 3 good releases within the first 10 records, it was clear that nobody else but phillip lauer would be able to sort this out on brontosaurus 10. so after #1 & #5 here is # 10 from the man. set your clock! its kinda metric. with 10 releases on his back the brontosaurus is no greenhorn anymore. we found out a few things: 1) we will never know if good music does not sell. >2) printing your own covers is an honourable thing to do but it is a lot of work! > 3) its still fun in the end so lets stick around for the next 10 releases and check this commanding 3 tracker.

electric arguments is the first fireman album in 10 years, and this song based album couldnt be more different than its predecessors. for those who dont know by now, the fireman is a collaborative project between music icon paul mccartney and revered producer youth. the pair first worked together in the 90s when they made two ambient dance albums. originally the firemans identity was anonymous and was eventually revealed by the press as being paul and youth. in september it was announced that the fireman would this year release their first brand new material in a decade and this time there was a big difference - the duo had found their voice. speculation began, one studio insider was reported as saying the new songs sounds like arcade fire meets led zeppelin. certainly so far, anyone who has already heard the album has commented on just how accessible electric arguments is, compared to the first two fireman albums. this album is an eclectic and diverse collection of songs that show paul is still interested in pure musical possibilities. each track was written and recorded in the space of one day. the fireman went into the studio with no plan or clear direction of how they wanted the album to sound. the project took a life of its own and the results will surprise anyone expecting to hear the previous sound of the band.

incl. smith & selway remix ... dedication to the music, passion for the precise sound to suit the moment, and an unstoppable drive towards perfection – tomy de clerque and f. sonik got it all. clearing their way towards the musical stardom, this two members of the new generation of slovenian deejays and producers newer miss a chance to take their music even further. armed with the clear-cut vision of how electronic dance music should sound like, these guys are just amazing at working together, taking the best out of each others talents and abilities. lately this dynamic duo has been the busiest part of the jesus loved you artist team and has produced some of the most exciting pieces in this part of the world....

groovebox ep is filled with some class a material for the raunchy dancefloor. first up there is into the club. this track is typical for channel x: it will blow off the roof in the club! as the title of the track already suggests, this is another one of channel xs lengthy journeys into nightlife extravaganzas. a wonderful fidgety bassline and a loop filled with loads of soulful vocal samples from strong male leads to sensitive female souls, this tune is both deep, touchful and destroying. the chainsaw effect session in the middle paves the way for more stomping tech-house business. no time to recover from this, because on the flip its straight onto the floor with wake up: a loop thats made of trillions of little cut-up effects, vocal bits and some straight four to the floor business. after a playful beginning the tune moves into an hypnotic piece of trippy techno only to be converted into a restless party anthem for the Überpeak-time. sick! perhaps there is some time to chill with the last of the three tracks that is against the wall. here it becomes clear what channel x are best at: to create dark, hard and moving electronic music with that special ingredient that is soul. this track is a perfect example: some frightening effects, lots of reverb on the creepy samples, but such a wonderfully harmonic sample that seems to shed light at the end of the never-ending afterhour. if there is a message to this music, it would be: you need to look hard, but there is always love. once again label boss oliver koletzki has picked up these two very talented producers very early upon their career and it has paid off: in one release being better than the one before

abstract rising star razor will be responsible for our next abstract release. with >hellmarch ep< he ll make absolutely clear that this guy is on fire! to complete the package, this vinyl will contain an arkus p. remix of hellmarch on top.

limited to 500 copies worldwide, eminor#16 is a shure shot! its well-done mixture of a nasty vocal with twinkle-toed basslines, scatterbrain will certainly hit crowds by surprise. on the other side, knurrhahn - composed with labelowner wahrlich - is a functional and repetitive pusher. with this record, carbon from hamburg makes clear which way the wind blows and where his musical development is leading to

clear yellow vinyl! >ammo dump< once again from the dread camp serum comes with another dance floor smasher. with a subtle build-up and complementary vocal sample, this track explodes into a mighty bassline. serum manages to work his magic with a simple roller, but trust me, this is to hurt those bassbins. inspired and taken from the dub dread iii compilation of various artists, this is a lovely slice of dread cake for you to taste and savour

for your electronic summer fun kerkhoff & prinz shove three loose techno grooves on your plates. >contract< relies on an oldschool offbeat bass, but with its funky percussions and noises and nice reverberated melody it becomes clear soon that no one pretends to be a badass here. with its wobbly bass and little follies, >orange< stays in this vein while >mann an bord< enchants us with relaxed perssions and funky snares and would definitely shine brightly in any house set.

stuttgart based trio consisting of soulphiction, nik reiff and benjamin lieten...on times and senses they go way back to the basics. crispy clear booty shaking deep, minimal, sexy and tricky arranged house with the shine of a chez damier and ron trent attitude we die for...

ltd edition pressed in clear vinyl.. big classic from 1998

aka phil kieran / edits-limited dimension

if youre looking for the definitive compilation of birmingham techno, and a cross section of downwards early contributions to the worldwide techno and minimal scene, then look no further. including early surgeon classics electric chicken and argon (both favourites with jeff mills, dave clarke and countless others, and long deleted) as well as regiss massive ital, not to mention groundbreaking minimal masterpieces from female, this is top quality gear from beginning to end. available on an initial limited clear vinyl pressing, and fully re mastered by the ridiculously talented matt colton at alchemy studios, these tracks laid the groundwork for a generation of techno producers.

played by: ricardo villalobos, matt john, tiefschwarz, ewan pearson, holger zilske, ripperton, someone else, tim green, tim xavier, philip sherburne, technasia, alland byallo with >flowers< dana ruh follows her storyboard lascivious in collaboration with nvelope. the reduced groove pushes elegantly, compressed sounds let the track grow while using mesmerising vocals. this track goes on a journeymelancholic and mysterious. focused on this mood, here is it! brilliant, functional, club- oriented! laurine frost, a hungary producer that already produced for the label >perspective<, answers with clear structure. a great rhythm contains the main theme serve with percussion gloomy and extensive soundscape. he developed a version that works excellent and sounds unique!

the phantom image‘ is a teasing, acid-tweaked club tool, stripped and refined. it burns slowly from both ends and builds in classic style, amounting to an insatiable hypnotic moment, instinctively connecting the mind and body with only one vital message: to move. flip over and you‘ll find two more seriously deviated cuts, in the form of steve bug‘s edit of >the fruit fly<, and vincenzo‘s orginal mix. both mixes raise the intensity from the late night tripping atmospheres of >phantom< and take us straight into the peak time poker flat style. phasing synth stabs and a floorshaking bassline take the track sky high, with vincenzo‘s trademark impeccable production at the centre of it all, ensuring every moment comes through loud and clear. bug‘s edit raises the drama a notch, peaking with a different flavour, whilst the original is a true gem and a classic example of the non-stop power of vincenzo‘s creative output!

next clear sounding strike from italia !! this time by marshall with two hot groovin mini tech tunes

three new tracks by mix mup on mikrodisko. three musical statements, instead of drawing from a wide range of samples from old vinyl, as he did on his last release >dj of higher quality<, mix mup this time mostly relies on his own voice and an all-in-one sequencer. you can hear his love for raw chicago-acid-house b-sides, his affinity for italodisco and sonic experimentation. this is not about a clean sound and a clear arrangement, the tracks were produced in a moment for the moment. all tracks were produced in a single session, without quantising, without a screen, without a mouse. always with some scepticism and his tongue in his cheek

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
