detroit s new >soundshift< imprint makes a stunning debut with this intoxicating two-tracker. opening up is the soultek remix of billy dalessandro s smashing >don t sleep< release (which was found in the many sets of dan bell, ame, annie mac & pete tong last month) this mix is nothing short of brilliant and will certainly capture the hearts and sets of all those mathew jonson or loco dice fans out there. it has a subtlety that really creeps up on you and before you know it you re tapping your feet and zoning out listening to the intricacies of the music. truly minimal, there are loads of space within the track which is somewhat similar to the original but still a world apart, particularly in the fantastically eerie synth programming. in the forefront of the song is the shimmering and haunting vocal loop, >don t sleep< which has an almost hypnotic effect. (think richie hawtin in closer) the melody of the title is a delicate affair which sips cocktails in the company of some nicely chosen whirring and echoing noises. the build is effected so subtly it verges on melancholy but halfway through a rumbling bassline, appregiated melody and backbeat hi-hat pattern announce a funkier escalation!!

boxersport presents the first 12 inch excerpt from the new matzak album >live beginnings<.. incl finest minimal floating remix by pokerflat guys dan berkson & james what

railyards sean palm sets the tone with his debut release, pluce. funky electro tech with building pads that sound like a love child of james holden, terry francis and dan curtin

a heavy one tracker that has all the elements of a classic house track. just bounce does what is says bouncy beats, jazzy horns and deep elements all make this a dancefloor destroyer. alexander east mixes things up nicely on his signature deep mix to round out the a side. slum science work the b side with a deep and moody remix perfect for anytime of the night. hector moralez & cubase dan team up as the block committee and serve up a tough, dubby rework of the original

wer kitsune & new order mag wird hier richtig dick bedient!!!

for fans of loco dice, mathew jonson, m_nus, ame, matthew dear, dimbiman, dan bell !!features 3 new unreleased songs from billy dalessandro (force-inc, force tracks, resopal, kompakt) brian ffar (gourmet, tic tac toe) & slutbox…. hot stuff! billy dalessandro known for his bumpy dancefloor productions and driving dj sets, he returns on his newly formed site holder label to lead us through a symphonic slice of minimized and maximized techno. an untouchable hit for the few djs that possess it, all three songs on the ep are tracks that deliver. with intoxicating slow-build introductions which all seem to rise to the perfect point, breaking over with deep sine shaped basslines and beats that kicks the night into the afternoon. the slutbox tune pops and pulses along a more minimal excursion with deep tones, deep bass and melodic key stabs which seem to lock together as the rhythm evolves, propelling a sketch of minimal movement to another, out-there dimension. yes, do believe the hype and look out for site holder

dan x and justin long are back in bizzness with this fat 3 tracker on dotbleep 3 jazzy jackin funked up house tracks that leave nothing to be desired a must have

jambi is known for his releases on district of corruption, turning spork, textone, and junion. after developing his roots in the us scene, jambi has taken his personal synergy to the berlin scene and has been working with jay haze, dan curtin, tobi neumann, and dinky. >lost< is the first horizontal release from jambi and a very well balanced ep. great package that has the musical range of high energy, peak time to heady after-hours grooves

after the remix series comes here a new mobilee friend named marcin czubala with his >super constellation< e.p !! finest sci-fi minimal tunes played by dan curtin, troy pierce, loco dice and mike shannon

played: steve bug, djulz, a. schneider, jay haze, dan curtin – huge hit ! moon harbour has good news for you: a new artist joining our family – welcome samim! after big success with his projects >samim & michal< and >fuckpony< (together with jay haze) he debuts on moon harbour with his 3-track-ep. the bass line of -eco- (b1) paces through deep frequencies as samim throws in sharpedged snares, wistful dub-synths and an elusive vocalsample: this track is so catchy that it deserves the rare honour of a long b-side – its strong vibe just would have swallowed up any other tune accompanying it. skks (a1) will get you from a different point of view: forget about dub and minimalism, this one is a rhythmical display of fireworks. samim goes in for the full, tictac go the claps and vocal-samples jeer and jiggle everywhere. this track got guts, man!..

poker flat rec proudly presents it s fifth label compilation! the 2xlp version holds the six tracks which have been exclusively produced for this album by john tejada & bilal bashir, dan berkson & james what, steve bug & clé, philippe autuori and jamie jones. altogether >poker flat volume 5< is a huge package incl state of the art songs in the field of techy & reduced house and techno from one of the coolest labels around !!

dan mangan and danny bonnici team up to deliver a devastating aa sided release with the moody and twisted periwethel,thats followed up by the melodic and driving velvet blunderground. two tracks by two hot producers from down under that are destined to ignite dance floors across the globe

played by: ricardo villalobos, luciano, magda, dan curtin, zip,.. its been a great year soo far for the talented mr. haze, as he continues to push the boundries of electronic dance music. this record is a clear cut example of why things started to get real, real hot all of a sudden. with this special release, jay s first release on the label he started 7 years ago - jay translates what it is like to be >big pimping< in berlin, germany. jay moved to the electronic music mecca just 3 years ago and has steadily advanced through one of the most competitive market places with lightining speed. so in some sense this record >berlin pimping part2< is another fond dedication record to the city which provides soo much for jay. (the first was jay s record on german label musik krause >berlin pimpin/love affair<)

the original mix of someone by jona, sees him utilizing his trademark weird as you like sounds n snippets combined with some otherworldly haunting noises, making this a true connoisseurs dream, phucked up as hell, but groovy nonetheless. claude vonstroke (check his fabulous deep troat release on dirty bird, now coming out dj sneak remixes through ministry of sound) gets his hands dirty with a lowdown dubbed out lektro house workout, which stays cool until a freaked out intermezzo after which all mayhem breaks loose… plays by damian lazarus, djulz, hipp-e, graig richards, geoffroy (hi-phen), mandy, dennis ferrer, mazi, justin martin, dan ghenacia..

slamming melancholic deep proggy house bomb !!!

frankie comes back with 4 minimal funky house tracks with this typical >dry< style using just a few sounds elements ( cuts of voices and short sounds) and a fxs…as well inpredictable and groovy. ep already played by dan bell, troy pierce, john tejada, jeff samuel, todd sines,…specially the dbx-influenced tweaky noise stomper titled hunt (a1)

according to dan curtin: this work shows history and knowledge of the music that inspired most of what we listen to today. every track demonstrates a rich and thick production that perfectly compliments the musical contents. ranson definitely pays homage to the sound of the detroit originators but still displays his own direction and identity. this is future soul with emotion unbound to our planet. so far full support from dan curtin/ fabrice lig and funk d void!

a1 no sleep:an amazing 13-minute latin pop electronic house piece ,a journey that is already making a name for itself in the world bests dancefloors. percusions,baselines ,bleeps mental sounds blending together with a dirty groove that keeps on changing and developing ,to peak in soulful and painful vocals accompained with a lead melancholic guitar and jorge singing -is just like to be on drugs without the fun-.....sounds familiar?...the song ends in beautiful detroit styled chords , a good reason to play it until the end..b1 close that door: an acid house jam with extravagant and abstract lyrics showing gonzales dark humor and irony.close that door has a killer acid baseline and the usual quirky dinky touch ,lots of sex and groove on this track,a sure peak-timer.think dan bell meets prince.b2 no sleep (edit):a smart instrumental version of no sleep for those vocal snobsters.just the groove here, no vocals,no guitar or synth lines, and exelent tool

dj support : dan curtin, daniel stefanik, dominik eulberg, jambi, james flavour, anja schneider... gummihz s 2nd release of mobilee comes straight from the bottom of his heart. the concept of >modern dynamic< is based on developing grooves by manipulating the dynamics of a sound, rather than composing melodies. a side consists of a steady groove with a few surprises taking place in the sonic spectrum and a dominating fm tone evolving throughout the arrangement. it is the kind of tune that delivers pure freakness on the dance floor. flipside is set in a deeper atmosphere with a sweet electric piano groove appearing in the end, reminiscent of the starting time of deep house. agony develops during the first minutes of the track, leading to a relaxed groove in theme with the sweet summer breeze

the return of keynote records! after the great last releases of joris voorn (keynote 011) and arne weinberg (010), its time for a new talent from rotterdam. mark du mosch delivers some sweet tracks between metro area and dan curtin. a stange but sweet mixture between techno and italo.. nice tasty tracks for sure. next releases are already lined up from this guy...so keep an ear open when you hear his name!
