this is the fourth release of the future roots series, the trials and tribulations of the first three download releases overwhelmingly convinced producer dj deep that a vinyle series was of an utmost necessity to authenticate the project..the aventure thus starts here..future roots is dedicated to new talents and is a subdivision of deeply rooted house .....future roots is very happy to welcome english artist alexander ross to the label. born in sheffield and now residing in berlin after a number of years traveling and working throughout the world, ross credits his formative years in his birth town with its rich, diverse musical history and world renowned community of passionate musicians and promoters as his greatest influence and the place where the foundations where laid for his dedicated and inevitably lifelong relationship with quality music in all of its many forms. ross first official release earlier this year on these days records saw him collaborate with greek artist argy on the hugely powerful see no evil which gained widespread praise from a broad range of djs and fans of the label alike. the apparent line...ep is made up of three spacial, driving drum tracks which draw influence in equal parts from alexander ross interest in reverb washed dub, deep techno and the cyclic, rolling grooves of percussive african music. the pieces utilise tight dynamic rhythms and expansive, echoing reverberations to create three striking and effective moments. support from carl craig, josh wink, laurent garnier, loco dice, argy, manuel tur, martin landsky, manoo & more!

album sampler of the fred ventura classic cuts album release. two special tracks that have never been released before. a side is a sublime edit version by fabric resident dj craig richard of the i f track (ft fred ventura) i cut my heart out. craig made the track more suitable for modern club use, and he has been playing this edit version since months. he received so many reactions on the track of people who went total nuts (and some even cried when he played the intense and emotional song!). we thought this is the right moment to make it available for everyone. on the b side we have a slamming italo disco monster which fred produced together with ajello. super phat basslines (slightly reminding us of classic bobby orlando tracks) and typical italo disco synths. two completly different tracks both featuring the emotional vocals of fred ventura. timeless piece of dance music!

in 2002, carl craig was at the centre of a collaboration between some of detroits most talented musicians old and new, including motown session players percy hughes and ron otis - the result of which was the spellbinding detroit experiment. one of the highlights of this session was their re-interpretation of donald byrd and larry mizells classic think twice, which was transformed into a sublime and unique jazz-house hybrid by this disparate ensemble of techno and r&b heavyweights. to continue the theme laid down by the detroit experiment, we have enlisted the skills of the multi-talented henrik schwarz - no stranger to fusing musical styles. his amazing remix effortlessly combines organic and electronic elements, to create a stirring piece of modern electronic dance music which has already taken the roof off parties across europe and the us, with pre-release plays from djs as diverse as ame, giles smith, justin martin, dixon and kev beadle.

moving away from the multi artist approach of the previous 7 releases, ir-008 sees jason brunton take a more direct approach to the dancefloor with this straight up techno workout. stabbing chords run amok over a xxl moroder-esque bassline-hints of basic channel, carl craig and the shuffling rhythms all combining to create something both fresh and familiar at the same time. since his initial outings on headpace and iridite many years ago, marco bernardis career has went from strength to strength with a string of releases on glasgows soma records and a fruitfull relationship with the dutch masters clone- here he takes mixed metaphors in a new direction- crazed synthetic vocals combine with ice cold strings and electro beats worthy of any aux 88 or kraftwerk release! rei loci turns in a superb reworking, moving into deeper realms and coming off like early robert hood crashing into maurzios back yard!

ziggy kinders last outing on souvenir proved to be one of the highlights of 2007. bailamos, a record destined to make love to the converging worlds of european techno and south american latin music was hailed by artists like laurent garnier, koze and mike shannon for its mysterious melodies and enveloping percussion while the a-side que pasa maria was championed by anja schneider and radioslave. fans of tiefschwarzs daring souvenir imprint will be in no doubt as to what lies in store for the label’s tenth release. >flipflop crash< is another typically ziggy workout destined for a discerning international dancefloor. disorientating percussion and flanging effects dance around an insistent throbbing bassline while a female vocal whispers in french. the warm melodies layering the track hint at the sultriness of >bailamos< , but this is a continuation not a revisitation and an impressive step forward for ziggys sound. on the flip chilean star pier bucci takes up the remix reigns. after impressing with his ahead-of-its-time familia lp on crosstown rebels in 2005 and last years club bomb hay consuelo, his addition to the souvenir roster is another memorable recruitment with current label remix talents including artists like carl craig, tiefschwarz, shonky, samim, kiki & silversurfer and radioslave. his interpretation adds an injection of urgency to ziggys original, stripping the vocals back to a minimum to make way for an epic delay soaked synth hook. its a remix destined for the end of a night or that perfect plateau of a party when the dancefloor has been moving for hours waiting for a hypnotising melody such as this to sweep it onto another level

excellent carl craig like tech spacer by alex and stephane attias!! just amazing

amazing atmospheric minimal !! this new 12 is a guy names hugh like who drops a great alienating track called >content. nice confident sounding track that is somewhere between minimal and house. nice classy build up and use of a violin makes this a track that really stands out and breaks with the standard techno formula without being akward. very dark and futuristic... would function very well as a sound track for a science fiction movie!.the other two tracks are in the same line and make this an outstanding forward thinking release! after being around on wite label for some time we received great reaction from guys like luciano, garnier, ivan smagghe, craig richards, michel de hey, mark august and others

klakson is dropping a hot release just before the summer really kicks in... number one gives us two warm driving house/techno tracks with an amazing vibe. sounds like daftpunk doing techno together with carl craig. on the a side we find this amazing deep house track called all the same. phat beats to move you ass but again with a beautufull melancholic topping. the aa side comes with this crazy jam called wonka. it takes you to the top with this incredible build up, ready to explode! at this moment we have no further info on the identity of dxr, or do we? take wild wild guess and listen to the production skills. two great tracks to bring the party to another level

dj q is back after a four year break, and he delivers here perhaps some of his finest productions to date. dj q aka paul flynn, turned out some timeless music in the 90s for labels like filter, dance mania and glasgow underground, and was championed by artists such as carl craig and derrick carter. superclique is a refreshingly energetic deep house club track, with swinging beats and lush atmospherics, plus a great little vocal hook. blue chicago combines chi town rhythms and detroit musicality, with a heavy nod to the classic sounds of derrick may and carl craig, with enough wobbly minimalism to keep the, er, minimal massive happy.

this new russ gabriel 12 is the long awaited kick-off for russ’s new techno imprint, sestra recordings and marks his return to the techno scene. this release follows up the infamous >future funk volume 1< which appeared some 11 years ago on u.k. electronica label >input neuron<. russ is a legend whose career spans nearly 20 years. having started his ferox records back in 1993 he went on to record for the likes of carl craig’s planet-e, soma records, djax-up-beats, dave clarke’s magnetic north, morris audio, force-inc and countless others. russ has been hailed as a master of techno production by djs such as laurent garnier and richie hawtin and continues to push his music forward with this ep aimed firmly at the dancefloor.
