the long awaited dubplate anthem is here! as soon as we at ns-hq heard >drum track<, we knew atlantas helix would fit right in around here. his two main obsessions are old grime and looping hypnotic berlin techno. and it shows, as both collide here to produce the ultimate rhythm track. this is anthemic 8 bar techno, or sublow gone hands-in-the-air raving. this trak destroyed every festival we played at last summer. this is super-stripped down, poised club music - exactly what night slugs is all about. on the flip, we are honoured to have one of our all-time favourite mic controllers flirta d bless drum track with his >no hook no bs< version. known best for such grime bangers as slks >hype hype< and his own >warp speed<, flirta brings that unique sound-effects laden flow to the riddim like its 2004 again and triumphant rave anthems are going off once more.

the recent private releases did make a lot of italo and synth disco fanatics lovers happy. here is another one! a compilation of scarce and sought after tracks which previously have only been released on 7inch somewhere in the late 70s and early 80s.a cosmic journey into early techno and modern club music prototypes.the coverartwork makes this release especially interesting for collectors due to the fact it is an artprint of a high valuable artwork called space lucy by pop and space art legend charles wilp (the last reprint costed 3000 euro). this release was supported by the german aerospace agency dlr, no joke!recommended with a smile!

profound audio is back at it with a smashing new 12inch from monstar - and its one of many to come from this quickly rising talent. following up his devastating debut single, put ya hands up, monstar constructs two bangers of epic proportions. both harder & bastard have been inflicting massive damage in the dance and are currently receiving heavy club & radio support from some of the top taste-makers in the game. leading off the single, monstar delivers an anthem of a track that does exactly what it says on the tin. harder encompasses xxx female vocals, heavy-hitting drums and roller coaster-style, fluctuating basslines with enough sub to have your brain shaking inside your skull - what more could you ask for? a peak-time, dancefloor destroyer thats guaranteed to send the crowd into a frenzy! on the flip, he shows no mercy once again with bastard, a full-force, tearout dubstep number that will undoubtedly shred your bassbins into pieces. battering drums roll over ferocious, wobbling bassline combinations that fire at you in hyper-speed, leaving you no choice but to brock wild! this one is absolutely rough!

the italian slok consider himself more a great pasta chef than an underground contemporary electronic music artist...by the way, he had big influence on the italian breakbeat, drumnbass and jungle scene with his two debut albums they call it jungle and freak 2000, both produced for the renowned irma records. after a natural change to electronic and personal house music beats and sounds in 2006, the international club hit lonely child, released with the collaboration of satoshi tomiie & hector romeros saw recordings label (defmix production), boosted his musical career quickly. his discography also includes releases and remixes on hi profile records labels like get physical music, my favorite robot, circle music, one records, turbo, om, harthouse, plastic fantastic (stereonova), futic tokyo and many more. he currently runs on his own imprint electronic petz, a structure created for support brand new talented electronic music minds. in 2010 he released two different albums: rain, on alex flatners label circle music germany, and the fat pasta grooves on electronic petz. after an intense studio work and sounds research, the year 2012 promises to be full of new collaborations including the release of a new artist album and a live set.

the slat blinds in berlins panorama bar are part of the vjs equipment, and when the mood is right (usually around sunday afternoon),he opens them up to allow slices of sunshine to penetrate the smoky club air.it doesnt happen all too often,remaining something special amongst hours of darkness.but as ruede played the first version of shades in his last p-bar set, it seemed to happen just for him, as if he had written this tracks distinct break especially for this moment:everyone was mesmerized. re.you & rampa with a rmx for shades are also no strangers to such euphoria, and as ruede recently lent them his voice,they return the favor by building a robust, custom-made bass mobile for the a2.then, on the b-side, ruedes fellow band members from the noblettes make an appearance.as with shades,the focal point is also the big break,only this one has nothing to do with techno - its more of an indie-house ballad with dance ambition.

2012 seems just a perfect time for second release at arma label. alex danilov, becoming more and more welcomed as a dj at arma club afterhours, goes deep-n-down in two nicely sedating productions on side a.
flip the vinyl for vitalizing track from another moscow dj djungl and sexspionage theme by venedikt reyf & paul eidner.

dubbed the godfather of french electro by i-d magazine and considered to be royalty of the french electronic music scene, joakims diverse and trendsetting musical tastes have earned him a pretty damn big global rep. on the labyrinth ep you can catch joakims darker dj friend extended mix, a lush analog slow burner from canadian duo and domino records regulars the junior boys, an even slower - borderline chopped and screwed - melodic mix from uk producer lone and a dirty arpeggiated beast from deadstock 33s and stopmakingme. future classic have been working with joakim in australia for some time now - touring him down under, partying and hosting shows together, trying to get him to go surfing with us and even getting him to put some club touches on future classic alumni mitzi. what a record!

his music is like a waterfall on house – organic, constantly running,sparkling and fresh.it could be the background tune for magazine beauties in st. tropez,it feels like a drive through californian valleys,or it may as well be the soundtrack tune for a full moon party on the greek islands - yes, it might indeed just be the result of many a club year. just as well, however, we can look at it as some sort of a flip side to those busy and dark times of dull and hard work back in the days, something to simply relax andm make you smile, after a hard days work, with a cigarette in one hand and a smooth drink in the other… imagine a piece of roxy music, a dancefloor in northern italy - some time in the late 80s - and joe smooths promised land.see what i mean?you picture this?well,in that case you have a pretty good idea of robertos serenades style.the original version of tell me feat.kholi is taken from the upcoming album dawn.

i was finishing up a long extended set in paris when the cleckcleckboom crew practically ran into the club to get on the decks. i had hung out with them before but tonight they had all new tracks and an incredible energy. so i stayed past the last ravers just to hear what they would play and that was when i heard “hugz” by french fries and bamabounou. this was a new sound, some nasty nasty shit sitting somewhere between juke and bass music and and i knew we had to get this sound on dirtybird no matter what. needles to say “yo vogue” is hot property and i’m really excited to release it on dirtybird. the half time drop, the chopped and screwed vocal, the stuttering bass kicks, the creepy moog on top - it’s simple and complex at the same time and it wrecks shop whenever it gets played. i did a remix on the b side giving it some db flavor and dirtybird newcomer leroy peppers lays out his own bay area skeeze with hot sauce on top. watch yer bass bins! best, vonstroke.

the dirty dutch! anticlub a notorious collective from eindhoven, the southern capital of holland, was inspired to push itself into a new direction. the inspiration came from a painting by an old lady that drew the attention and gave the impulse to create the album freaks and followers. as the title suggests there are two kinds of people, people who take risks and people who do not. as anticlub used to be a risk-taker but slowly settled in an unwanted comfort zone, this created dissatisfaction and led to a creative standstill. seeing the painting everything became clear again. one should not stand still but keep moving and evolve oneself into new areas that one has not yet explored creatively. as lessismore is from the same dutch city, this state of mind also hit the lessismore label, which inevitable resulted in both parties joining forces to release this diverse album by a former underground techno crew called anticlub. as the lessismore label is known for its typically styled techno, lessismore was searching for a new impulse sound wise and visually, to ensure creative satisfaction in the years to come. with this album everything came together and the lessismore crew reunited to renew their input into the label, which was once founded to be a creative platform and an artistic journey and in retrospective clearly not a platform where one should repeat itself time after time. freaks and followers is an 8 track album with raw electronic based music combined with a variety of vocal work by different new anticlub members. the overall feel of the album is a dark punky attitude that reminds of the good old days of rave, which in the early nineties dominated the dutch club and party scene. this period can be defined as being careless and not taking credibility into account, trying new things, being blunt and just partying your hart out. being older this is a feeling that will never have to die, proved by the old lady whose painting was used as the art-work of the album release.

introducing >the courts 12 inch, the first single from jam citys forthcoming debut album, out later this year on night slugs. a double-a side release that showcases the two extremes of the lps material - the sublime and the industrial. on the a-side is >the courts<, jcs rawest dancefloor-orientated work yet. hyper-tense club music built of skids, dribbles, passes, big jersey kicks, and permeated by an ostentatious slap bass. the result is a pounding, jacking grid of a rhythm track, moments of on-court action reassembled with robotic efficiency. on the flip, jam city links up with oaklands main attrakionz for a very special collaboration called >the nite life<. squadda b and mondrem.a.n. drop mesmerising other-wordly verses over jam’s low-slung beat. the atmosphere is dense, hazy with purple smoke and submerged in the smoggy californian marine layer.

boogie times brings this 1986 cornelius oliphant record back to 2012 dancefloors.

slamming phunkee & disco

hissy fit is the brainchild of the moustache mamas, part berlin, part london composed of a us east-coast sensibility and a uk north east sense of humour. its a vehicle to be able to work with the artists and release the music they love, to give something physical (yes all releases will be pressed on vinyl) to the people that spend all that time dancing when the girls are djing. the mamas have then built up a reputation of being grade-a party starters across europe, playing at the rawest of parties, and outshining some of the boys in the boys club. their approach to djing is mirrored in their approach to starting hissy fit, the girls are serious about their music even if the music itself doesnt need to be serious. for its first release hissy fit welcomes aboard leeds based >death on the balcony<. this year they have been cosying up to the likes of soul clap and the wolf and lamb posse, as well as being booked to play all over the damn place causing hissy fits of epic (yet joyous) proportions. the ep contains three originals, and kicks off with >every time< a synth-laced house jammer that brings in the clap & the punch with just the right oomph for the kids on the floor.

after his great set of singles for philpot and clone royal oak last year,arttu comes with his first single for 4lux.yet again arttu brings you the sleaziness he is known for.attic house is a filthy club banger with heavy bassline and cut up vocal bits.gerd re-arranges the track and adds more drama to the strings coming in halfway throughout the track. soul stream is a deeper detroit-ish nugget with nostalgic feel.yet again arttu’s trademark of slamming beats & bass combined with cut-up vocals snippets profide for an insane jackin track.last but not least snuff crew comes with a heavy re-work on attic house that reminds of old dance mania and dbx sound.

after conforces tight album release on delsin and other concept projects he did he/we went wild with this one and selected some tracks we just want to play out loud in a club from vinyl (incl. a killer remix by gesloten cirkel for the title track). at first sight these tracks dont have much in common... and probably still not for the second listen, but we didnt really bother for this one. it will be a standard in our dj box for the coming months with 4 tracks that all have a bit of a different groove and a different mood. grain, be there at night, 24 and 24 remixed by gesloten cirkel. this is probably as versatile as a clone basement release can get.

first only available via decks.de !!

the irresistible electronic trio formed by antonio pecori stefano meucci and andrea giacchetti mainly known as the clover strikes back on bosconi records with another strong 4 tracks ep. after an year spent into researchin and experimenting in their own studio, jammin for hours like a proper band as they are, using analogue machines, freaky instruments and concrete sounds, our lovely boys, always keepin their distinctive funky n groovy attitude, turned the page of their past west-coast inspired funky house vibe and changed the way of seeing club music into giving life to a completely new, fresh and personal house style. the whole ep sounds like house music influenced by post rock bands like tortoise and kraut legends like can and this 12inch is an absolut winner that sees on a side the psychedelic tribal funk of goodies while on the second cut theres the subliminal mood of wandering souls, b side instead goes more spiritual and rockin thanks to the manipulated percussive trip of find yourself and the darkdroning session of amsterdam house don san proper remixing goodies. a real four season ep!

simon bakers debut album traces saw the london based producer record a superb, honest reflection of his influences and took his deep house sound into a long playing format that was critically acclaimed across the board. let me in was one of two tracks that featured vocals from debukas that were highlights of the album, and it returns in original album version and with an excellent remix from lee curtiss. lee curtiss is currently riding high after great releases on spectral sound and get physical, an excellent cd compilation for watergate and as part of the visionquest collective. his version is a remix in the truest form, he treats the original with respect, but twists and turns it very much into his own track, perfectly fine tuned for club sets and soundsystems. this combined with the awesome original provides another essential simon baker and 2020vision collaboration

ltd 2012 repress !!! the reclusive, enigmatic individualist and auteur of electronic music pepe bradock created with >intriguing feathered creatures< another intense masterpiece that is so unmistakably him, stomping, multi-layerd beats that sound so loose and funky as machine rhythms can possibly get, the bubbly walking bassline which could be an on-spot improvisation by some jazz great, moody loops running backwards topped by a grinding steel drum melody and frantic, psychedelic chirping sounds as made from mechanical windup birds. a mystical end of the night tune ending in animated birdsounds that accompany you from the dark club into the morning sun and inspire to spend a resting day out in the country

magic wire label head lone picks another smasher, aptly titled delirium tremens, from the elusive neon jung with a suitably precise re-edit from nathan fake on the b.side, fresh after his last remix for radiohead. delirium tremens takes on flavours of garage, soul and psychedelia and glues it all together with an armour plated, mutant electro backbone designed to make the dancefloor lose it for 4 minutes but still keeps the soul firmly intact. its another demonstration of neon jungs ability to take influences from many genres and join the dots to create something fresh, but with all the right reference points to make this accessible to everyone from your backpacking beat head to the hardcore club frequenters. the bass in the first drop of this track is just berserk – theres no other word for it. the b side sees nathan fake up the tempo but draw it out, making this perfect for the more patient crowd. it has nathans signature beat all over it – it rotates, swings and soars gloriously until it finally ends in a warm afterglow, complementing the original perfectly in its grower not a shower approach.

joey negro is the most well-known pseudonym of master british dj/producer/remixer dave lee. under a plethora of other monikers including jakatta, akabu, doug willis, raven maize, the sunburst band, sessomatto, and z factor, dave was one of the first artists to incorporate disco samples in house music when he began his production career in 1988. indeed, he was in the studio making credible and outstanding british house music when many luminaries around him were still busy getting to grips with their decks. in 2011 little has changed and dave is widely regarded as one of the most commercially successful and in-demand artists on the global scene

montreal-native tazz delivers new kanada three jacking and psychotic beat trax for an aggressive entry into 2012. tazz and bacanito unravel the threads of aggression in the lead cut >cosmic sex<. metallic heavy machine funk for those winter nights. >wanderer< is a late night ode to model 500, with waves of synths burrowing into the ground to produce a dark wave classic. cold, pure and supple. >mermaids and mermen< is is the tough club killer in the package. a deep tricky dub transforms into an underwater symphony of rusted hooks and fm pads… a serious lights out, head down burner.

softwar are 2 body builders from sydney - myles du chateau & jeremy lloyd - and they have finally finished their ep on future classic called > this time around<. as much as we tease softwar at how slow they are they have some pretty serious chops - their debut ep was signed to dj kaos label > jolly jams<, their remix of two door cinema club was hand picked by kitsune, their residence at slow blow at goodgod, sydney has got millions of hot >fashion< girls into deep house and theyve remixed mario & vidis and mitzi - meaning this will be their third appearance on future classic vinyl. >this time around< resonates filtery deep funk, soul and house and we are glad its finally here and not called brown noise

arjun vagale and tim richards have never met in person, they are cyber friends like a million of other people in the world. their huge musically respect for each other formed the idea to do some music together and kaiserdisco is very proud to present you the result! with a first listen you can say she said is a typical tech-house tune but when you play it again and again you see it is full of little highlights which makes the song so special and catchy. its a very cool combination of beats, drums and top loops which makes this track so energetic. the remarkable break makes the track so unique and turns the club into an inferno. the second track tonkatsu is a real techno-bomb. a very deep bassline combined with the galloping beats keep this track running and running until it falls intothe break wich makes this track even more ecstatic and brings it up to an amazing primtime-stomper, that lets the crowd go crazy and scream but all in a very cool and undergroundy way.this tune is really outstanding and one of the best tracks in our box for weeks.

second single cut from the collaboration album of minilogue & koss aka kuniyuki. a side, original version is cinematic ambient jazz which reminds the sound of ecm. earth tone mix is club friendly dance edit, the sound is like a mixture of mathew jonson and ame. b side, original version of horizon is epic 60min psychedelic techno. this edit version is like a dj tool. its for fans of ricardo villalobos ... and this release is last release on mule electronic. we cant feel good at all to separate the release of techno & house.

nice price deal !!! up to this point, diogo accioly and diego mouras partnership as talking props has taken off and reached the heights of international acknowledgment almost effortlessly. acclaimed not only by their peers, somewhat denoted by the fruitful joint ventures they managed to forge which renowned names such as vincenzo, argy, but also peer whose attention they managed to grab, labels reputed as bastions of quality music such as suara and dessous. quite predictably, it seems that in the case of this release on the d-edge records, the label sprung from the club where they hold their long-lasting residency on thursdays, they made some of their best efforts to date, releasing two deliciously infectious numbers.
