breaks and hip-hop producer ninelives the cat comes through with this nagging slice of solid production and catchy vocals in the form of >lalala<. the chorus hook will claw into your head like the feline in control, while the choppy funk licks that make up the beat will find a comfortable home on dancefloors all over. on the remix tip, funkanomics bring an uptempo 80s flavour with filtered guitars and brash drum machine beats, while dj alias does a more subtle turn in tightening up the groove of the original. will styles rounds things off with an electro-indebted workout full of chunky synths and club-ready construction.

dimi angelis & jeroen search make their first appearance on par grindviks stockholm ltd label with their >rhetorica ep<. the pair have been working together since their debut collaborative release on music mans sublabel, ion, in 2004. since then they have released on figure, smallville, traut, balans and their own imprint a&s. they also produce together under the >counterpart< guise and have eps on jeff mills 6277, oscar muleros warm up and the advents kombination research under their belt. the >rhetorica ep< is a lesson in deep, patient and hypnotic sounds. a rounded ep that works both in home and club, and will undoubtedly prick the ears of the techno fraternity. jonas kopp interpreted both the originals into a version of his own. this remix is full of drive and energy, something he brings to all his works.

nice price deal !!! t-polar is back on rebirth with another fantastic ep, always striving to create something emotive, original and outside the typical lines of music fashion. t-polar had a long journey through electronica of many shades, from the microhouse stylings of early releases on takeover, morris audio, and karloff, to more ambient leftfield music on acroplane, to his gnarly, and at times woozy, post rave music on nice&nasty, digital distortions, wide, ls2, takeover and !kaboogie.
his previous >hadean ep< and remixes for nufrequency and bocca grande received so many great props, and >the archean ep< is another perfect combination of soul/funk and leftfield house/electronica. one of the hottest talents around!

very limited and mysterious one-off emanating, as you might expect, from the big apple. put together by a legendary ny record store owner from a personal stash of edits constructed for back in the day club play, which still sound super fresh and effective today !

usually, the purpose of a piece like this is to tell other writers, music mag editors, distribution people and record shop clerks why they should like a certain release and buy, hype, review it. often these encomiums are not really honest and sometimes you even feel like attending an attempt to sell a flat tire. as for i:cubes new longplayer m megamix things are – of course! – very different. being its fifth solo album, an introduction of a man like nicolas chaix or even his biography (another popular brick of sales sheets) seems rather unsuitable. if you dont know what you should know, just use your internet search engine with any of these terms: chateau flight, versatile records, french touch, disco cubizm or parisian prodigy.

modular expansion is a fresh new techno label, based in athens - greece. the labels first release (a limited white colored edition 12 inch) comes from the head of m.e., george apergis. the debut single features the track >quelle<, a detroit-ish techno/club oriented track, with a distinctive chord progression and solid bassline. the release also includes 3 striking remixes from international artists.
the first one comes from the acknowledged german artist johannes volk (exploration), who re-creates a dub version of the original track. the second remix comes from the rising scene of paris and zadig (construct re-form/ sino), who evolves the track into a groovy and deep experience. last but not least, the remix of irish technohead lee holman (kawl) introduces a darker approach, setting a minimal atmosphere with a unique vocal.

locussolus are dj harvey, sam fox and tara selleck, ably assisted by josh marcy. berghain is a song named after the berlin club. telephone is touted as a fun irreverent pop, disco boogie fm radio hit that never happened, happening.

following on from torquato and boghosians acclaimed debut on yoruba is this, a selection of remixes diverse and interesting enough to do justice to the original lp, which received praise for the rich tapestry of musical sources it drew influence from. first up, afefe iku delivers a much deeper, weightier version of paradice laden with heavy synth stabs and woody percussive elements. aybee takes when u touch me - probably the standout club track on the original lp – into much deeper realms, stripping back the original groove . its remarkably simple but flawlessly executed, the chord motif working effortlessly alongside the crisp hats. atone tackles zulu girl and in the process unravels a much more mechanical track, a massive mid-tempo thud dominating over delayed cymbal crashes and ghostly vocals. overall - a darker vibe and a truly timeless collection of remixes.

nice price deal !!! here comes a record that shouldnt have been released in the first place. who first started to circulate the cd-r with the blue inscription waiting for kim / we get high is totally unknown. the more known though, is who has been playing these two tracks, the one subtly uplifting, the other cranky dark, over the last few months. its still an unsolved riddle who is responsible for those two very divergent (but obviously coming from a single source productions. the fact that now these two tracks are coming out as a white label doesnt shed any more light on the affair either. but will please the dj and club world nonetheless.

sex tags mania warehouse find! this might not be one of those popular ware house finds you run into these days, but still, from a storage of a friend of a friend this got dug out. almost brand new but never sold in any amount - a german-french(?) 12 as great as the summer. straight to the b, you know that track you hear, not on any given sunday, but only the exeptionally good ones, the track that sonically floats around, though maybe being to euphoric, still gathers everybody in the area to some sort of silent agreement of peace. usually these musical pieces are found as single items on flee markets if you re a proper digger or have straight out beginners luck. maybe the world has turned up side down, because this beauty has german lyrics (with an instrumental following).
