remerc is no new face to the scene. he has been active for quite some time in the german techno scene and has recently remixed butchs track >muskatnuss< on the trapez ltd 100 anniversary compilation. he had his breakthrough in 2010 with the track >tiny calf< which ended up on the cocoon compilation >party animals< mixed by marco carola and nick curly. remerc opens his release with >ruhewolf<, a restless funkedelic rocker with a beat that juggles elements in a loose and totally cool way. the track is spiced up with elements of surreal bliss and could go on forever were there not the limitations of the vinyl. on the flipside we find an hanne & lore remix that tightens and fattens up the beat and pimps up the basslines. adding some twisted sounds ... making it a clubber par excellence. >just a bards tale< is a unique remerc track and stands out from all the productions he has done so far. here new wave coloured edgy vocals meet a post-detroit string-chord arrangement. sounds adventurous and daring? well it is to some degree... but recall >no more words< by carl craig from 1991 but executed in a dead modern way.

sampler #3 from the global communication back in the box compilation album, the techno and ambient retrospective selected by tom middleton and mark pritchard, back together again after a 15 year hiatus. opening up this seriously hot four track ep is an ultra rare and often overlooked carl craig remix of yennek, aka kenny larkin. two detroit pioneers collide on this beauty, with delicate oscillating keys gliding over a heavyweight breakbeat and clattering hats, a signature style of carl s. the track really kicks in with the bassline and monumental pitch bending synth stabs. a real must have for anyone with a love for the original detroit sound

supported by: steve bug, chris duckenfield, roberto rodriquez, trickski, cottam, tazz, craig smith, christopher rau, baaz, ekkohaus, ethyl, james johnston, ...

from the very start, track one the first thirteen minutes of love opens the album with over ten minutes of ambient unlike anything you’ve heard in years, a long, elegiac composition somewhere between carl craig and the chill-out zone at a bygone rave. it’s a warning: take a deep breath before being swept away by eight tracks that span detroit and berlin, front 242 and carl craig, linking them via soaring trance, carefully-crafted minimal, the sound of the 90s, the sound of the new millennium. it’s hard to imagine the strike force and heart pangs it will inevitably inflict on any club in the know

inspired of the work by masters at work to carl craig, the approach of space breaks is electronic & modern, being playful & groovy. b1 is vinyl exclusive, heavily embedded in the rhythm & sound style, deep and atmospheric. limited to 200 copies worldwide.

wolkenreise finds the duo moving away from the dark, peak hour techno to a gentler sound that flirts with emotive deep house for something classy and inspired. the track offers here is built on a raw, unhurried kick. all important contrast comes from the dry, echoing claps (which cut gorgeously through the bass clouds like, well, thunder) at unexpected intervals, a distant, longing and muted organ line (i think) and some heavy hearted synths. it’s melancholic but optimistic, and has a certain classiness to it which i really dig.” -teshno, january 2011. these are just some of the words that have many saying wolkenreise is the single of year so far with massive global support from all over the world including seth troxler, laurent garnier, craig richards and alexi delano to name a few. glistening and glowing remixes are created by the brilliant minds of john tejada, dj qu and rene breitbarth to offer up a vinyl that is timeless

new series focusing on some of skints back cat some serious names here

so … the story goes something like this: being inspired one day by 69 >desire<, vince decided to create an interpretation of it using his own unique sound. the track was done very quickly as a gimmick to send to carl craig as a mark of respect for his own track, now the track has been signed by carl for planet e and the world will now hear that very 12 minute piano and string filled beatless gimmick that is proving to be vinces most musical piece to date. its epic stuff. flipmode with >qualia< which takes off where vinces fcom material left off. deep driving hypnotic dancefloor material with an orchestra thrown in for good measure.

big with: deetron, tedd patterson, stuart mcmillan, craig richards, josh wink, chymera, stephan bodzin, monika kruse, ivan smagghe, paul woolford, stacey pullen, radio slave, ... the word >legend< gets bandied around and awarded far to easily these days. but a truer title could not be found for , kirk degiorgio. from the mid 80s working in sohos reckless records buying in the latest rare soul and jazz releases from the us, to his current 2010 releases on planet e and art. kirk has been at the very forefront of boundary pushing, electronic music since its inception.

2010 has been a massive year for jozif, emerging as one of the most talked about artists in house music. the follow-on from the first sell-out edition, “beats in space”, “brick jane” goes further to cement his place as one of the vanguard of the london music scene, and propel fist or finger to the status of a buy-on-sight label. jozif’s title track – the dancefloor focused ‘fist’ of the package – goes in deep, the momentum continuously building as the track twists and turns through a landscape of deep slabs of bass assured deployment of subtle guitar plucks and piano chords, and dreamy xylophones. finally releasing into an epic crescendo, jozif only allows the moment to last just long enough, before all the elements are stripped right back as the journey starts all over again. brick jane draws out a journey, continuing to morph and subtly affix new elements throughout its 7 minutes. the arrangement is simple yet the progression is deft, subtle and effective, creating a vibe that can be employed at any given time of the night, offering a truly different context. craig’s ‘finger’ re-interpretation picks up the thread where his “beats in space” remix left off. crackling static laced with woozy atmospheres and paranoid utterings flip the vibe of the original completely on its head. richards displays a completely unique ability to stretch the original track far beyond its character into a completely different dimension, building a warped soundscape that feels as though it was recorded in a chasm deep deep underground. a mind-bending journey from a truly multi talented artist, in the truest sense of the word

throughout a recording career spanning almost two decades, dj stingray aka. sherard ingram a.k.a. urban tribe has consistently avoided the mainstream to create a musical world of his own. responsible for the early techno classic >covert action< on retroactive (reissued on planet e), ingram was joined by carl craig, anthony shakir and kenny dixon jr. (moodymann) for urban tribe s debut album >the collapse of modern culture< on mo wax and their latest project >program 1-12< released on kenny dixon jrs label mahogani music and the recent >loyal opposition< releases on planet e. touring as drexciya s official assault dj, stingray collaborated with james stinson for the >other people place ft. mystic tribe a.i.< project on clone in 2002. his two recent albums (>authorized clinical trials< and >acceptable side effects<) and singles for rephlex have remained true to their drexciyan descent, not through imitation but through remorseless innovation in electro aesthetics.

dimitri kneppers (1967) music career reads like an encyclopedia. a house encyclopedia. after 23 years of spinning records you could call this dj a true veteran. known for his enormous sensitivity, true feeling and mixing skills he gives you the sense you are the voyeur of an intimate act between two lovers. the music and the man. but nobody ever felt and looked so comfortable behind the decks as dj dimitri, for he brings the crowd at ease like don juan would do with women. when ecstasy is no longer just a word, but a true magical moment as the crowd, the surroundings and the music all come together in one hypnotizing state of happiness. this man knows -or should we say feels- what he is doing, not only behind the decks but also when producing. in september 2007 dimitri said goodbye to his headphones to work on a farm with mentally handicapped people. fortunately for his fans the break wasnt premanent in the middle of last year he installed a studio in his home, then this past june he returned to the decks - now he makes his planet e debut with a stunning track already tearing up dancefloors. included is the first of two remixes by carl craig. a second ep with remixes by orlando voorn and carl craig will appear in early 2011

new label from dublin club promoter conor lynch. conor has been djing and promoting the pogo night for a number of years now, and has a very diverse music policy, with the underlying ethos of anything goes, as long as it is quality. guests have ranged from theo parrish, b12, carl craig, optimo through to the ting tings. the aim is to transfer the ethos from the vibrant club onto vinyl. this is certainly not the reason that we would consider taking on a label for distribution, but the fact that this release from dublin real techno producers tr-one, is as beautiful a slice of deep detroit styled techno as your likely to hear his side of the motor city, certainly is.

not much really needs to be said about a new release on mahogani music, especially since it involves contributions from some of detroits greats, including kenny dixon jr, anthony shakir, carl craig, and last but not least, the main man sherard ingram aka stingray. its a single lp which contains 12 tracks. a couple of shorter skits, but most pretty much full tracks. time to state the obvious.. !!attention!!!: this release contains some clicks , maybe not good enough for high fidelity fans... sound is raw and analog!!!
