two producers on duty for gerds palm leaves remixes. sometimes an amazing track like palm leaves just screams for a rework by someone who really could do something nice with it. and this seems to be the perfect remix duo... larry heard aka mr fingers and deetron. one for the body and one for the soul! enjoy!

tracks by bryan ferry remixed by todd terje and quiet village, delivered in a limited 180g vinyl edition. what more could you ask for? oh right, there is kate moss on the cover, too!

produced by elektro guzzi and patrick pulsinger recorded directly to analog tape. no edits. no overdubs.
elektro guzzi redefined the meaning of performing techno live. with just guitar, bass and drums, they take the most unusual playing techniques and put them together into a rigid mechanical form where everything makes instant, evident sense. if they had not performed live extensively, becoming audience favourites from mutek to sónar and from berghain to fabric, it would have been hard to believe this is really how the music is created. that said, it seemed impossible they could go even further in this direction. yet thats exactly what they did. parquet, their second studio album sees them in monomaniacal, claustrophobic techno mode. throughout the nine tracks the distinctions between instruments and roles are totally vaporized.

the next ep on germany s hello? repeat imprint comes from seuil, one of paris s most inspired underground producers. in terms of style, it is a match that could hardly be more perfect. hello? repeat has spent the past six years carving a niche for itself with eps from cabanne, audio werner and label co-founder daze maxim, plus acclaimed albums by bruno pronsato and kate simko. seuil, meanwhile, has put out a steady stream of ultra-deep 12-inches on labels like freak n chic and sammy dees ultrastretch. both specialize in a sound that is modern, understated and hypnotic. late call is exactly what its name suggests: a record made for the deepest, most tender portion of the night. the drums are slick and punchy, but the rest is woozy and romantic–this is one to put on when the crowd has stopped chatting and everyone s dancing with their eyes closed. topping it off is a vocal line made famous by diana ross but recited here by an androgynous diva: if you need me, call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far… dark, trippy and weirdly moving, this is one of seuil s finest tracks yet. >slow motion< strikes a similar chord but with a more subtle approach. here you notice seuil s rare touch for subtlety: in the absence of any real >hook<, he keeps the track moving with expertly sculpted drums, a warm half-melody and a gently propulsive beat. soft chords sustain in the background to create a balmy summer night feel. both tracks show seuil and hello? repeat doing what they do best: delivering something deep, functional and full of character.

copenhagens northern structures duo return on sonic groove with their second release entitled service & devotion . their debut release hit the scene with a strong bang. earlier this year you could not attend a proper techno event in berlin without someone dropping a track off their debut self similarity ep. djs such as ben klock, marcel dettmann , tommy 47, chris liebing , rolando & milton bradley were all playing it amongst any others. now back with their second release, northern structures follows up perfectly with three more songs of well crafted industrialized dark pumping techno. contemporary techno at its finest!

we hope our last gym lesson could enhance your physical and m ental fitness so that you are well prepared for oliver schories >wildfang< -exercices on turnbeutel02. his original workout is by now well known for warming both your body and your soul, so that different trainers adapted it and developed multiple variations. one comes from ackers head mollono.bass, for sure he will help you to get in motion. in addition jaxson & david keno produced a monster remix of ollis track, as well as alex q (kleinstadtfeeling, mgf) did, both sticking to the melodic original but transporting its atmosphere into different directions.

for renaissance mans first single off their turbo debut lp, we have assembled a team of remixers whom we felt could live up to the playful intelligence of the original. the result is a pack befitting one of the best electronic albums of the year, a mensa-level dissection of contemporary dance music that builds on the finnish duos previous releases on dubsided, sound pellegrino and made to play.
to begin with, we enlisted a personal hero of the renaissance man boys - legendary producer herbert - who offers up a subtle, atmospheric take, adding his own vocals and introducing an esoteric pop sensibility. scottish producer (and thom yorke name-checkee) sei a checks in with a hypnotic techno groove bomb. uk vet paul woolford strikes a balance between wobble acid and melodic piano hooks.

astroblack is a prime time techno / techhouse monster , flipside more for the house business .... no need to present tony lionni (aesthetic audio, mule, freerange, ostgut, mad house...) one of the best artists of these past years, able to flirt as easily with house as with techno. modelisme is very proud to release >astroblack ep<, proper underground ep in a typical detroit vein. astroblack on a side, is a pure black soul funky detroitish techno music, powerfull chords on powerfull groove, swinging drums patterns, where the essential duty is to shake the dancefloor. b side, proposes >i can show you<, very class beatdown track, could be related to some theo parrish imprints. sweet & tuff for a so sexy tune! >oceano<, is a subtle kick reduced floating & atmospherical tune, which shows his intellectual side of his music. thank you sir!

this ep was formed with a concept in mind that involves a natural phenomenon occurring in various / different fields of science and nature - anti-parallelism. as the word suggests, anti-parallelism describes the natural relationship between two occurrences, objects or even non-material things, that are virtually identical and yet oriented in different directions. during the time the music was made i was researching natural phenomenons like this one. naturally, this became part of the nucleus, fabric and inspiration for this work. in genetics, for example, if the >antiparallelity< is corrupted during the process of dna replication it is called a mutation. this mutation can be anything from totally inconsequential to critical for the survival of the whole living organism. a double helix of dna contains two helixes, that are naturally anti-parallel to one another. in physics this could be two of the same objects moving through space and time in opposite directions - just like the instruments or parts of a beat in electronic music production. so metaphorically speaking, anti-parallelism holds a natural balance to keep it safe and stable. although this might sound all very conceptual and theoretical this music is obviously just what it is - it is not intended to teach math, physics or biology in any way. the above mentioned aspect has simply found its way through my head and might have led to a piece of music that somehow, at least for me, is connected to these thoughts. it might evoke something very different for you

the success of >twist< released with yuksek aka peter in peter and the magician, which was heard in the playlists of some of the best djs around the world, has contributed to increase the magician reputation among djs and electro lovers…
the only thing we could hear from him until then were his magic tapes, available on soundcloud with no tracklisting so as to keep the mystery around them… there again, the concept has created so much excitement among music aficionados that the magician has already released thirteen of them!
>i dont know what to do< is a pure dance jewel enlightened by jeppes voice! as for the club mix and the remixes by fabian and plastic plates, they are definitely more electronic and punchy and will be all perfect for the club times!

der dritte raum is a super project at constant altitude flight. releasing music on labels such as harthouse and cocoon since the early ninetees der dritte raum has established a name for high quality electronic music and a live show you will never forget. with their Überhit >swing bop< 3 years ago der dritte raum has kicked off a still going roaring-20s-hype in the electronic music scene in berlin and anywhere else. now here we go with the remixes of this epic piece. the question was: who could remix this unique track withut making it just a worse copy of the original? the answer: t.raumschmiere might turn this track into a dirty wrecking rave monster and as a complementary addition, acid pauli might be a good choice to take the track in a totally different direction. well, t.raumschmiere did what we expected, just in an even better way than we hoped, and acid pauli did as well. he gave swing bop an outfit that makes it sound even more dreamy and out of time and space. enjoy!

the mojuba sublabel a.r.t.less is very proud to present the debut album by detroit techno veteran martin bonds aka reel by real. after 2010s retrospective of his most seminal work including some collaborations with juan atkins and anthony shake shakir, these are the first new tracks under his reel by real moniker since almost two decades and it seems like it could have never been a better timing for it than now! these nine new pieces of music are showing their unique fresh colours of detroit techno in a way they could have been only created by someone like marty bonds who is always striving to find his very own way in musical creativity. this album takes you on a great multifaceted journey through one of americas definitive music capitals and the birthplace of techno narrated by one of its very own musicians and a true ambassador of its soundtrack! to support the scene of authentic detroit artists the cover illustration for this album was created by abdul haqq from third earth visual arts who is still (after more than 20 years) giving detroit techno a visual face with his artworks for the likes of underground resistance, transmat, red planet just to name a few! enjoy the resurrection of reel by real with this very special debut album

canadian electro mainstay lowfish, lets loose a preview of his forthcoming >hypersensitivity< full-length. lowfish is gregory de rocher, and barring last years >memories…< album, a compilation of vintage archive recordings, this double-a-side 7 inch is actually the first new lowfish release since 2008. while his last 2 albums could best be described as serene and clinical, electro at its most austere, lowfishs return to suction records, the label he co-runs with solvent, also marks a return to a more melancholic electropop sound.

what do you call musicians like com truise? he seems easy enough to pin down—throw out some words like nostalgia, synth-wave, eighties, and electro-funk and you will scrape by—but to be truly insightful about his music is tough, because art that is so blatantly referencing certain things in a certain way while also making them weird and new and unique is confusing. how do you classify something that is so obviously both vintage and current but is too fun to call postmodern? awesome is an option. especially when it sounds like you are driving the knight rider car through thick clouds of nitrous oxide, like >fairlight<, the title track from truises new single, which previously appeared on an iso50 comp called dry waves and also has this jarring, falling-all-over-itself middle section that prevents you from trancing out too hard. >beta eyes<, the track that follows, is even more restless, with a drum pattern that is fidgety and clustered, kicks and snares fighting each other like two drum and bass heads arguing over an atari remote. >polyhurt<, a narcotic, almost ballad-like closer that inevitably leaves you thinking, >now, how the hell am i going to describe that to someone?< the vinyl exclusive cut >colorvision< could be truises most dancefloor friendly track yet.
limited to 500 units worldwide (200 in europe).

who could that be ... ? limited release on transparent vinyl - big record - act fast!

for his second album as son lux, new yorks ryan lott did a very un-son lux thing. he recorded we are rising in a month -- the shortest month of the year, actually -- while npr tracked his every move. this, as opposed to the making of his lauded 2008 debut, at war with walls and mazes, which he slowly built in complete privacy over nearly three years. of course, he didn’t plan it this way. he simply awoke one late january morning to find a message from all songs considered titled, >you busy?<. the annual rpm challenge, an international open call to create an album in 28 days, had been issued and lott had been tapped. how could he say no?
pressing on transparent blue vinyl, includes code for free mp3 download of the full album.

here we give you the latest release from duck sauce >big bad wolf<. the follow up to the uk number 3 >barbra streisand< . armand van helden & a-trak could of easily taken duck sauce down the commercial disco route but they have done what they do best and give us a follow up single completely out of the ordinary and set to encapsulate the nation again. big bad wolf is already gaining a momentous amount of support with zane lowe declaring it the hottest record in the worldand heavyweight support from annie mac, pete tong, steve angello, chris lake, calvin harris, cassius and many more. this is another unique moment from duck sauce that will capture people just like >barbra striesand< did, expect to see the wolf dance on the dancefloor

support by: radio slave, okain, phonique, osunlade, spencer parker, shaun reeves, loco dice, joris voorn, sebo k, marco resmann,.. may saw the first release of 2011 and ians own >groove me< ep is also the foundation of pooledmusic 029, as the tracks are reworked by some of ians favourite current producers. first up on the title track is matthew dekay& lee burridge. having ruled the dj and download charts in 2010 with their cecille release >wongel<, and with the launch of their exciting label >all day i dream< imminent, pooledmusic could not have timed it better to bring their friends onboard. the meeting of musical minds and dekays studio know-how has once again seen the pair strike gold. beautifully intricate and yet subtle on the ear, their mix rolls solely of its kick drum for the first four mins. sweeping strings announce its break before the real fun and feeling begins with the drop of the bassline. our next two remixes are fro the hands of berlin based englishma

already played by sven väth, seth troxler. joris voorn, tiefschwarz, reboot... the london resident ross evana already excelled as dj at pacha nyc, at ministry of sound london or in the we love space series in ibiza. his track >thrilla in manila< first takes its time to build up before it sets a tremendously powerful exclamation mark on the dancefloor with its tropical-hypnotic percussions. with its second track, the ninth edition of cocoons 10 inch -series leads us to the land of the midnight sun. the two stockholm-born cousins alex caytas and aleks patz have started their musical collaboration only in 2007 but can already look back on a hand full of very good produced releases for the stuttgart-based label parquet recordings and the italian label caremella, as well as on remixes for martin dawson/king roc and voltique. >blue sea< shows the duos affinity to the energetic deep house techno of the nineties: with its organ sound, blues vocals and a highly infectous bass line, this track could almost pass as a modern and uncluttered version of st. germain, being predestined for warm summer nights. this is how techno sounds in 2011.

the intermezzo ep kicks off with we are here, which could be easily described as get out part 2. a spoken word vocal over kerris trademark beats and instrumentation, musing on the subject of a busy schedule and calways available technology. so it begins again takes things down a much more tribal road, perfect for a big room, and the dc10 mix is a nod towards the direction kerri had in mind and the dancefloors he created this track for. the dark mix takes this idea even further with a more progressive feel as the track plays out. red lights explores a more live drum feel with a cut-up breakbeat playing a 4/4 rhythm, and a throbbing bassline and synth pattern. this one is a little deeper but still packs plenty of punch!

hand stamped and numbered - limited to 300 copies worldwide!
on sat002 lovework/decisions, black light smoke shows off his pop sensibilities with two sing-a-long summer anthems-in-the-making. lovework is a no-wave-inspired ditty littered with catchy analog synths, an ass-shakin bassline and reverbed claps juxtapozed with a haunting processed vocal from the producer himself that repeats, >you made a mess of my head. now i gotta put it all back together. theres nothing to say, over and over…< which is how this tune will be playing in your head after one listen. on the flip we get a taste of black light smoke in deep house mode with decisions, a lustrous and vibey joint that features a sweeter vocal by suavecito, a new guise of dj/producer and vocalist who is well known by another name. here more analog synths produce wickedly buoyant bass lines and swirling pads that combine with bubbly piano stabs and little vocal sample/edits for what sounds like it could have been a naked music release had the label been operating in 1990.

red007 sees pushing red taking a slightly different turn with more of a juke style release. (greek - known as dimitri) buckles down with a with what could be called as a fusion of juke, ghetto house & footwork to outstanding results. the sharp 808 kicks and bassline pulsate throughout the tune while a sharp vocal sample cuts through giving the tune that much more punch! flip over for the wonderful ikonika remix. ikonika has really taken this tune and given it her own feel and appeal. turning the stormer into more of a halftime/ house feel, its hard to put to words the outcome. its ferocious & melodic and all wrapped up with that signature ikonika feel! one you just have to hear!

the acronym lfo is normally used for >light fuel oil<, but what robert stolt presents with his new release is truly nutritious fuel for the dancefloor. >beyond lfo< developed a groove like chiseled, massive, overwhelming, heated up and extremely intense. a track that could easily run more and more and leaves you breathless and speechless as soon as the last bass drum is faded away. two remixes come from the feather of the well-known pig & dan guys. a steppin and ever-shifting rhythm is the foundation on which a swinging guitar melody unfolds their poignant effect and transform force into playful clarity. a suitable outdoor summer hit. in their second version, the melodic superstructure is purified rigorously, the residual remain compacted and the driving rhythmic moment dressed in a hypnotic dub garb. the clearly breaks infected track >monster< is inspired by the aesthetics of american b-movie monster movies from the 50s. varying, cinematic sound cascades and these wonderful bleeps over all have a direct path into the heads own sound cinema.

berghains marcel fengler presents the fifth installment in the clubs expanding mix series. marcel fengler has proved filling floors doesnt have to be about ticking boxes. the versatile mix is a perfect example of the type of dexterity, sensitivity and scope he possesses as a dj. these same attributes can be found in the work of the producers featured on this 12 sampler. a similarly dedicated dj and producer, peter van hoesens incredible axis mundi is a real modern opus. hoesens rich synth warblings and deep bass elements could raise hairs youd never even discovered before... talented duo reagenz aka move d and jonah sharp have had a productive year, and their exclusive track, the labyrinth, proves just that. leading us into a psychedelic dance of funk, dub and abstraction, this slow burning jam fits perfectly in the later stages of fenglers mix. the mysterious vril is behind the dirty, dusty releases appearing on the staub series from geigling. uv follows that convention in a pounding, searing filtered techno tool that explores many zones over its powerful 10 minute reign

hauke freer (session victim) rmx . quality house music for your dancefloor! that is the slogan of the newly formed label >foul & sunk<. the label is focusing his attention on soulful clubmusic in all its facets, which is primarily focused on the dancefloors of this world. for the first release could be obtained directly one of the most innovative producers in terms of classic house music with the italian shooting star nicholas. after releases on labels such as >no more hits<, >its a small world disco< and >4 lux< of the italians now delivers the next stroke of genius! nicholas tracks operate entirely clear on the history of house, but never forgetting the contemporary look. his tunes sound as fresh, exciting and new, of course, work well on any dancefloor in the world. >when i think about< is classic house at its best: raw and dirty! responsible for the remix to hauke freer, one half of the berlin duo >session victim<. hauke freer takes out the tempo of the song without taking the tension. it is through the very early break in the track that builds to a real slo-mo house slider. the perfect start to a great club night.

t got its debut last week on bbc radio1 and we are hearing it is going to get airplay on pete tong or annie macs show in the next couple of weeks. it is already getting support from luke fair, mark farina, danny krivit, francois k and about another 20 big hitters and lots of other radio play. we think it could be a summer anthem if it is heard in the right places

canadas cobblestone jazz have established themselves as one of the most unique and inspiring bands of the past decade. thanks to their exploration of house through the eyes of a jazz improv group, their music is derived from the organic energy of the groups jam sessions and their now legendary live performances. comprised of members tyger dhula, mathew jonson, danuel tate along with newest addition the mole, cobblestone jazz are as accomplished individually as musicians and performers as they are a band - united by long term friendship, respect and passion for writing music in the moment. their decade long history of releases on iswhatitis, !k7 and wagon repair have earned the praise and long time support from the likes of gilles peterson, carl craig, luciano and sven väth. >memories (from where we are)< celebrates the first of a series of 12 inch releases that will come out on wagon repair over the course of 2011/12. the outcome of a berlin jam session last fall, the band incorporated a fender rhodes, vocoder, and sh-101 to make up the core voicing of the tracks while a cs-20 provides the drive at the end of both. in typical cobblestone jazz fashion, the track was mixed live with no prior sequencing arrangement. the session was then cut by the mole into two sublime edits - the results could be their strongest release since >dump truck<.

split secs are alexandre mouracade & tk disko direct from los angeles, california. their name came out of discussion amongst friends about how anything can change in a split second and how much power and effect the smallest detail could have in any song. both fun loving long time djs and avid record collectors, they are putting their years of experience to work with numerous forthcoming releases on labels like on the prowl / nyc, smash hit music co., and much more to be announced very soon. their first ep is released on dj kaos imprint jolly jams out of berlin germany.

the word genius is not a term we like to use loosely when speaking about our artists but giorgio sancristoforo aka tobor experiment fits the bill. a gifted musician, soft synth designer, found sound pioneer and he still finds time to make forward thinking disco pop for bearfunk as tobor experiment >disco experience<.
after a well received ep in 2008 we sent giorgio back to the studio with the remit to make an lp so special that it could open new doors for us. well he certainly delivered! opening with the sweet modern disco sounds of >postcards from a nervous breakdown< we then get the first taste of giorgios song writing prowess with >breathe< a rather intense little number.

did you ever hear about christian strobe? no? hardly surprising, cause its a brand new solo-project by christian schnall, one half of disco trash music (maximal electro) and spruce (dreamy shoegaze). the german guy is musically rooted in the 80ies and early 90ies and as christian strobe, he combines airy new wave pop, retro-futurism with a pinch of house. the original mix of >midnight call< is full of magic, desire and an airy atmosphere, but still a simple pop song. the nightdrive version is recommended for nightly rides with your ferrari testarossa through big city lights. the italo-disco-pop-masters from codebreaker gives the original a funky french taste and reknowned keenhouse conjured a good-feeling remix with lovley summer-piano-chords. midnight call? you could name it sunshine call! in a more and more digital environment, the warmth of the analog vhs-tape version gives you the relaxing mood you need. the placid >lonesome astronaut< completed the debut-ep and takes you to a cosmic trip though time and space. stay tuned for the upcoming full-length album called >heartworks< in autumn 2011.
comes with code for free digital download of this release.

yellorange must be considered one of the most prolific house music labels in history. founded in 1998 by the legendary tony humphries, the label closed its doors after a short run only in 2003 when strictly rhythm (who handled its distribution) collapsed. in those few years, the label put out nothing but quality music, with many - if not all - of these releases being considered a classic nowadays as you would imagine, there are lots of unreleased mixes to be discovered, and for years the fans have eagerly awaited the return of the label in hope some of these gems would see the light of the day. finally the wait is over and yellorange is back with >yellorange history - the kept it to ourselves mixes<, a collection of previously unreleased mixes by kerri chandler, paul simpson and david harness available on limited coloured vinyl. first come, first served!

hardly strangers to the scene, daniel bortz & sascha silber give what could very well be the summer hit of 2011. the 2 track ep titled >color of love/fantasy< is incredibly effective in creating a smooth late summer feel, perfect for open air nights. straight kicks, crunchy snares, and pressed hi hats, a bassline bounces next to the deep kicks

evil activities returns and delivers a massive collaboration together with endymion on the legendary neophyte records label. result is the track >broken< featuring dutch rap legend e-life. >broken< is a track with anthem-like depth and features an extensive chorus. expect melodies which could only be devised by these acts completed by a powerfull bassline to top it off. the flipside features >changed the game<, an energetic banger guaranteed to fill all dancefloors.

finally ! the new ep from gopher. this one is a follow up from a bunch of remixes that alex had released over the last few last months for autokratz, etienne de crecy, light year, alb, pacific & sovnger. it gives us a good idea musically of what his album with patrick devin could be about !! some of the reactions about these remixes were >amazing< (boys noize), >brilliant< (groove armada), >absolutely love it< (david, autokratz), >quality !< (spiller), >favorite track !< (reset !), >on adore, ça tue< (soulwax)… ok, >invasion< is electronic music, but above all, thats f… good music ! vintage synths, harmonies, vocoder and other surprises ! who are the invaders? if they are as fresh as they seem, then we welcome them with open arms! >virages< takes us where the mastery of alex is well known. a track more radical, more oriented towards the dance floor. a funk and dirty bass line that drives until the arrival of a big 303 lead. mmmmh, yes !

grammy nominated hannover producer martin buttrich gets down to business with this sharply delineated four track ep, his first release since his >crash test< lp on desolat. buttrich is known for his deft hand with spacious, warm tracks that crackle and snap. his propulsive techno and house music re filled with compressed living sounds. on tracks like >fireball< and >magic market<, crisp percussion shimmers around snug-fitting basslines, with snares and toms moving the speaker cones insistently. >fireball< will quietly smash the dancefloor, with rhythms so taut you could bounce nickels off them. the heavy kick of >rocket< anchors it to agitated drums slowly enveloped by a melodic soup, inflected with disrupted noises as it sweeps over the listener. >20 ways< has a reflective and fresh feel, like city lights seen through rain, with a peppy beat that swaggers along. then theres that bass again, bringing disarming warmth, and always with the underlying influences of reggae, hip hop and soul... music lovers who purchase the vinyl release will be treated to a free download voucher for all the digital versions, as well as additional bonus tracks. the 4 bonus tracks wont be available to digital-only customers at this time

we are happy to have a follow up of m.in on trapez ltd in collaboration with his fellow mate jonas fahz. the duo has released together already under their pseudonym of mucky pups on the trapez ltd 100 anniversary compilation in may. their a-side welcome to my house features again a jack track, produced and written this time by a whole team including: m.in, jonas fahz, peter eilmers and featuring nick maurer on vocals. bringing together old school and new school this was also the idea with m.in s debut a-side track teach me house . welcome to my house instead has more of a live jammed attitude to it... in this respect it is meaner, rougher and tougher as the predecessor! the alienated and twisted voice of nick maurer adds a psychedelic feeling that keeps you making funny faces to yourself . delgardo has been a long time favourite of m.in and jonas, it is an approved dance floor track, and indeed a slow moving... but funky rocker. fuelled by vocal snippets and fx sounds... the beat goes non stop beat non stop ! elephant blues is the favourite track of m.in and a bit of a mad and deadpan track. fitting very well to the actual chart breaking tunes that spread like a virus in the underground scene, this could be the most modern of the three tracks. equipped with a strong drive, whipping its percussion line into oblivion it is a sexy track. the original 3 tracks are Êsupported by alex piccini with a cool post detroit remix of welcome to my house and well as heartik who has speeded up elephant blues turning it into a cool techno- rush of a track.
