amyl nitrate (commonly known as popper) is a chemical compound. it has a long history of safe medical use in treating angina. its also often inhaled with the goal of enhancing sexual pleasure.inhaling nitrates relaxes smooth muscles all over the body, including the sphincter muscles of the anus and the vagina. listening to the original version, it is easy to understand the reason behind such a title. a dark and obsessive techno-bass in its depths. acid, nervous loops on the surface. sex and sweat everywhere. here and there, two surrealistic, hypnotic melodies breaking the darkness of the bass loop. a mix of sharp and round, deeper sounds. the vinyl version also features 3 great remixes: the amazing electro-minimal rmx by the hacker, the spiritual-dark rmx by rubÚn montesco and the fresh club rmx by produkkt

adult only is back for a deep house release with lots of chicago house inflections and three unique cuts, all shaped differently for the players choice. blue brunch by catwash is a floor knocking club jam, powerful and atmospheric, the elements arestrategically placed and prepped for the full vocal hook thats followed by a really cool airy drop out, leaving the dancer ready for more. excellent concept, delivered with brilliance. seth troxler remix has a classic fliter disco inflection loved from globals players straight out of chicagos most renowed sound. broken down with a guitar bass wind down in the middle, he dubs the vox for more classic arrnagements inside the already wound up groove. fabio giannelli & mirco violi - blues brunch remix is accented on the vocal hook, used as a nagging hook set along a solid tribal rhythm that really gives the jazzy vocal style a fresh step for originality.

soulful deephouse album by hamburg based vincenzo, made for steve bugs dessous imprint in 2002.

the latest gigolo release is one for the summer! aptly titled hot it comes courtesy of ivano coppola and christian prommer, the former being one of italia s most respected dj s and the latter being, amongst other things, one of the main collaborators for hells critically acclaimed album teufelswerk. taking a sample from willie ninjas classic record hot and building a track around the chords and the vocal leads us to our starting point ivano coppola plastic mix!
ivano coppola has been the resident dj at milan s plastic club since 1992, so it is fair to say that he knows what works on a dance floor, or, to use a popular phrase, what is hot and what is not. it is with this historical knowledge that we find the genesis of our track. i found it necessary to go back in the past, to start producing once again in a 90 style - using samples. the next step was to come back into the future and reach out to christian prommer, highly respected by many including ivan i consider (christian prommer) one of the best producers of the moment! he loved the idea, the remix was huge, and so we decided to co-produce the record. simple!!!
but, for christian this was more then a remix, hence the co-production credit! i liked the idea of translating an early 90 s house-music-sample in to a sample-style-percussive-techno-tune. lots of live played drums and percussion in this one, of course. i only later learned that the sample we used is from one of my house music heroes, maws louie vega. naturally the record found its way into the hands of gigolo in the best way possible, and in the tradition of such a great record label – i played it at the gigolo night in munich and hell came to me dancing and took the tune into his heart.

almost no other club has been the subject of so many song dedications. this time, nicone & sascha braemer deliver a heart-wrenching declaration of love for the bar25. >nur mal kurz< is nothing less than this years hit of the summer. straight rumbles, smooth sound dimensions and high-noon vocals are a serenade to the 25 timeloop

the ibizencos pacha resident sebastian gamboa delights us with muevelo follow up: feel it!! its exactly what you can expect from a perfect summer club tune!

2003 club classic including deep dish remix!

raindance dates back to 1988 when it was produced by marshall jefferson and featured byron stinglys distinctive falsetto voice. however, despite being intended as the follow up to the classic i cant stay away it never ended up seeing the light of day due to contractual complications involving another artist covering the song.

its already well-known that cocoon recordings is a sucker for tracks that stand out of the usual field of - lets be honest - often uniformly reduced tech-house, and the past nine years of the labels history have proven this sustainably. and the rhein-neckar area based team flatner/lopazz are again two hot candidates to leave their very special mark on the summer of 2009. after all, circlemusic manager alex flatner is rocking the floors as a dj and producer for already 10 years now, having been releasing for labels such as harthouse or black nation, whereas the heidelberg-born stefan eichinger aka lopazz has made himself a name with releases on imprints from the likes of output, international deejay gigolo and mainly get physical. together they celebrate a very funky understanding for percussive techno, which is setting highly meaningful moments for the primetime, particularly by means of lascivious vocals. i wanna take you all night long, for sure! and you definitely cant find a better expression for the perfect pounding symbiosis between bass-focused club stompers and economically dosed pop elements than its time to make up your mind.

l-vis 1990 is quickly solidifying himself as a bass-prodigy. you re forgiven if you re unfamiliar with the name but pay attention - this 25 year old from brighton has stormed on the scene and is making some of the most singular dance music we ve heard of late - this stuff is truly standout. with the ever-building epic come together and the floating then undeniably face smashing united groove , we re hearing a heavy sound with a new and refreshing take on structure and style. he has upcoming releases on kitsune & dim mak as well, plus a busy club schedule with his night slugs monthly in london, and one offs at the biggest european clubs (fabric london, social club paris, scala berlin, etc). oh and did we mention that with all that he still finds the time to make videos for the likes of dance area and riton!? definitely one to keep your eye on. in the meantime, these two tracks form a serious weapon. amazing new mad decent record that s making big waves worldwide. touches of grime, house, uk funky and your classic mad decent styles. big.

ultravox classic refreshed ferfectly or the 2009 clubs by the disco boys with some remixing help from ian carey and sean finn!

please welcome the 2nd youngster in our rooster. with just 20 years, he is already a professional in the swiss scene: stefano tropeano played at the internationally well reputated oxa in zurich, at loft luceme, acqua zurich, club q and many more. he is definately one to watch in the future. for his first production he received maximum support of namito, well known for his releases on kling klong or great stuff, rounding up this powerful package that should make it very difficult to decide which track to play, just because they all work out equally great.

harada worked studiowise for a lot of well-known artists in the scene whilst he releases his own sound on labels like micro.fon, trapez, audio therapy uk, hope uk, freakwaves, greatstuff and many more renowned record companies in germany or across the border. for his third release on blufin he teamed up with jerl (mbf, get digital), delivering some beautiful summer sounds. phunklariques edit of sunday bells underlines his status as key artist of the electronic musicscene one more time, using his sense for shuffles and drumming he created a perfect choice for club sets.

slamming italy electrohouse bomb with tribal influences

played by mathias kaden, sebo k, tobi neumann, karotte....there is a date this year in autumn you should keep in mind: the release of marcel knopfs first album on mos ferry. being a dj marcel knopf is used to fathom genre boundaries and now and then he dives into dubstep, electronica and realms of pop. with the single dusty dance you get a foretaste of the upcoming congenial longplayer. in its own way, his single enables an acoustic addiction of a thrilling style mix. these two tracks move in between smart techno and grooving illustrious house and points out, that knopf doesnt want to be bound to one musical direction. the title track and a-side of the single >dusty dance< is one of the floor fillers of his album. get ready for an enthralling groove, a monster break and a hook, where any bias against trumpets in the club is blown away. on the b-side youll find the oldschool frickling house track >rec-chord<, which reflects knopfs addiction for the beloved vinyl format. go out and get yourself a physical copy, to hear this nice and comfortable sizzling noise. its the best way to get a charming club feeling. and always remember: who buys first, may listen longer!

in these >post-heater< days it is not so crazy to hear of a kazoo being used in a track, but when style of eye first released >the big kazoo< on dirtybird it wasnt just a sample loop, it was an incredibly innovative usage of the sound - mangled in all the right ways. in 2009 style of eye returns with 3 more monster club tracks. these are the kind of jams that simply work at the club. they arent hard to mix and they arent hard to understand. they are big dirtybird tracks that simply never fail the dancefloor

with electric rescue, the french dj d jedi, who is known all over paris, becomes a part of the cocoon family. he is connected with the development of techno in france already since the beginning of the nineties. despite being busy as a producer for commercials and soundtracks, he always finds some time to release exciting electronic music on imprints such as f comm, communique, elp media and paul nazcas label scandium, where he has released his debut album >el.ue< three years ago. with the two tracks on >the darkest star<, electric rescue succeeds in the daring feat of transforming the energy of rave tracks from the early nineties into the present time without producing an anachronistic impression. besides a tectonically shaking bass drum, the title track relies on the power of sound, a superlative of raw club energy with a twist of irony, which can set a surprising climax with a steadily rising noise level, even after almost ten minutes. >the devils dance< is grafting a comparably brute state-of-emergency techno in a somehow restrained way, rhythm-wise, but is no less effective with its distinctive acid sound effects. and who said that modern techno cant use the tradition of belgian rave-signal-floor-burners?

as the lead front room representative daniel steinberg has been one of the main flavours on the label, with this being his fourth release for front room recordings. daniels records frequently land in the crates of artists such as ricardo villalobos, luciano, claude vonstroke, richie hawtin and jesse rose to name a few. his previous releases on front room like cobra limbos, uptown and keep on movin still resonate around the dance floors of the world, proving time and time again that daniels sound continues to inspire djs and club goers alike.as well as having great success on front room recordings daniel also regularly airs his talents on labels such as style rockets, leftroom and grandpetrol. daniel can also be regularly found trotting the globe to showcase his skills at some of the finest clubs throughout the world. daniel steinberg is once again stepping up to the plate with two killer tracks showcasing his own unique take on house that will be sure to keep dance floors pulsing and hands in the air through summer, winter and beyond.

big love go from strength to strength next up for them is up n coming french producer romain curtis teams up with seamus haji and rising swedish star awa on vocals for this sublime track that should do the biznizz this summer. romains club mix has an infectious feel and teases the chorus vocal to crowd-pleasing results. seamus hajis vocal mix rushes straight to the top of the anthemometer whilst his dub goes deeper and tuffer with a slight tribal edge. all round dirty/techy/funker filthy rich really goes for the peak time slot making great use of the vocal for light relief

fresh repress !!. the original mix was already big on international deejay gigolo records. with brand new remixes by man of the moment radioslave who delivers a more electro beats led house. lee cabrera houses it up more for a club smash!

besides the sublime original version, the >bloodstream ep< also features three exclusive new mixes, each teasing out the songs grace and power in vivid and unexpected ways. the berlin-based producer and remixer henrik schwarz, one of germanys most respected djs, brings his trademark love of jazz and deep house to two separate versions.
schwarz s club mix re-engineers the track as a sleek dance tune, speeding up chris vocal into a restless, nervy, emotionally naked torch song. his dub version, meanwhile, builds into a hypnotic instrumental collage of bubbling beats, twinkling pianos and elastic basslines. at over seven minutes long, not a second is wasted.
by contrast, the chic parisian re-edit maestro pilooski strips the track down into a cubist collage of rhythmic throbs and sparkles, with a staccato piano melody pulsing through it like a heartbeat. it s a playful and vibrant fusion, where soul-baring yorkshire poetry meets sleek french disco chic.
