this time mr raoul k not only wants you to dance - he wants you to go crazy on the dancefloor. in his well known way he crafts a relentless groover that sends everyone on the floor into the higher state of concsciousness called trance. he layers track upon track and builds a solid grooving base…. for the balafon. a handmade percussion instrument not unlike a marimba that gives guinean music its characteristic flavor. the vocal loop on top draws you deep into the vortex of nested percussion, african melodies und thick baselines. thistrack will never let you go - like moebius band. its main theme will stay in your head for a very long time. it will shake your hips after you left the dancefloor. and it will escort you on your way home after youve left the club. maybe it even serves as a lullaby after a long night out. already tested by Âme with stunning results.

ovum is excited to bring you the debut ep from nico lahs. many know him from his tracks on 8 bit and for his ovum debut he has delivered two incredible slices of deepness. the clouded visions ep harkens back to the classic early ovum sound but this is clearly a 2011 version of it. the a side >late night< is deep, but yet pumping for any dance floor. the sound is reminsicent of a mid 90s mood ii swing, but with an updated twist. this will move any floor and is shore to be heard all over this summer. >all i desire” has a classic ny feel, with the only thing missing possibly being a husky male vocal. this track can take you back to the shelter. two amazing deep productions from a talent who is clearly on the rise!

following ryan davis debut >routes of life< on traum in january 2011, his high acclaimed follow up shows ryan is a real tastemaker but also a real club rocking musician. few artists in the electronic modern dance scene of today make music that seems serious and intense... and still accomplishes to have club people go wild on it. it is a bit of a lost treasure of the golden techno days, ryan always reflects in his music when he creates moments of beauty with an collective fee to them. ryan davis in one of them and his new ep shows that side even more than his debut. a-side track supernova brings images together of psychedelic west coast soundtracks of the 70ies, pop art, shoe gazers and maybe salvatore dalis surrealism.

to say that matias aguayo lives in the moment would be an understatement. he thrives in the moment. one of today s most productive musicians in dance music he continues find new challenges – whether it be curating music events (most recently finding lost music and new acts from the sonoma desert of mexico for an upcoming hkw berlin series), overseeing the tremendous cómeme label imprint, and most recently joining warps favourite new york band battles as a vocalist for the lead single >ice cream<. he returns to kompakt with his first new recordings for the label since 2009s acclaimed full length >ay ay ay< – an accomplishment of its own right thanks to the fact that it was created almost entirely with samples of his voice. matias aguayo takes it back to the dance floor with what potentially could be his first obvious foray into the world of house music.

in 2010, when we started to revitalise the tresor label, we reached out to some of the greatest artists, not just in tresors history, but in techno. late 2010 we sat down in a paris cafe, just off the pompidou centre, with jeff mills, on a rainy, otherwise unremarkable and miserable day. but on this day we were given two very strong pieces of advice. >hire a fanastic a&r and sign sleeparchive<. so here we are, an artist that has been on the underground radar of the hacker, miss kittin and richie hawtin makes his debut on tresor records with >ronan point<. >the tracks developed from parts and loops i had created for my live set and always wanted to make tracks from. after a little break i took with the sleeparchive project the record for tresor was a great opportunity to make these tracks.< sleeparchives live sets have graced the dance floors and sound systems of berghain, arena club and bloc weekend, so it is fair to say that the 4 tracks that make up ?ronan point are not just tried and tested, but actually born on the dance floor. >> press: dj magazine techno single of the month.

bedroom community broadens the scope with their newest release: en garde by puzzle muteson, a mysterious, intimate record by a fearless songwriter and lyricist from the windswept isle of wight. arranged and produced by collaborators and labelmates nico muhly and valgeir sigurdsson, en garde is a strange, comforting and alarmingly personal record. driven, spare lyrics are hoisted high by vocals of steady, sturdy tremble. each tune swells with plush guitar pluck in a sea of orchestration and electronics. recorded in the greenhouse studios in iceland, the album collects puzzle muteson s odd and beautiful stories - about love and horses, rust and polar bears, heartbreak and birds. puzzle s songs are curious sounds from a troubled heart and his lyrics are urgent and open, striking a note with their vulnerable memories. i was once a horse is an unforgettable song about nostalgia. the first single and title track, en garde , pits puzzle s longing against waves of dense strings and jagged rhythm, while perspex disguise sets his naked, translucent vocals against shimmering piano that refracts off epic chords. in flamingo head he sings, i left your house. you let me. i left you ugly , buffeted by guitar and distant murmurs. not a single thing could take this magical sight. i ll find you still , he sings in medusa , the story of a man tracking down a lost love. like many bedroom community recordings, en garde takes an unexpected and unique voice and elevates it out of any easily discernible pocket. puzzle muteson could be folk or something completely different - instead he s an intense stranger from the isle of wight - at once both familiar and unfamiliar. en garde heralds a haunting and essential new voice, beautiful, earned and yearning

if we add a new label to electronic music, is it really needed, wasnt music originally unlabeled? - lads contemporary productions could be called anticipated techno, architect techno, or architechno. these two tracks are simply brilliant and beyond what i have heard to date. the way lad is building space procures the feeling to be part of the music, to be in it, swallowed by it. >isolate< and >bergvall< are just two hypnotizing masterpieces, transporting you into unknown and untamed territories. deep, soulful, cinematographic, intriguing, moving. my drug is music. from 2d to real 3d chills. vanina hänin woods, forests, deep and dark spaces, like if kubrick, kurosawa and marinetti would have gathered together to produce music, simply highly cinematographic and futuristic. lad builds up organic visions, redefying sound in such a personal way. definitively two superb, soulful, finely shaped and constructed electronic pieces which will undoubtedly make you dance the night away. (dan lagardere)

benoit & sergio dont make dance tracks—they tell stories. in the washington dc duos music, a sense of place and narrative infuse their rhythms and melodies, transcending having flexed their synth-pop muscles on releases for dfa (the acclaimed boy trouble ep) and visionquest (the lovelorn where the freaks have no name ep), dc duo benoit & sergio return to spectral sound for a victory lap around the dancefloor. and >let me count the ways< is just that, sounding every bit the perfect, hands-in-the-air final anthem of the evening. tireless hi-hats push the beat onward and dreamy synthesized strings saturate the stereo space as sergio intones, >let me count the ways / the ways that ive loved.< as the line repeats, its meaning bends to fit the songs tone of endless, time-suspended romance: its not the loves that matter in the end, but the ways. its not the destination, but the journey. the b-sides >let me count the ways (autumn version)<is a vastly different take on the original?s maximalist swell. stripping the beat back to its bare essentials and building them up again over nearly 12 minutes, the >autumn version< recalls arthur russell?s more minimal moments down to its wobbly bass filigree and mumbled vocal samples. by the end of the track, the claps are falling on the twos and fours like crinkly foliage, synths are sizzling like firewood, and benoit & sergio?s newest banger is revealed in its full glory once again.

sonicultures label boss expander kicks it with an ep that will rock the most demanding dance floors. oh yes, the sweet sound of techno fills our ears with joy as we listen to two original tracks and a remix from well-known producer tadeo. >the waggler< is a bass driven ride on a roller coaster of madness. nifty synths and processed sounds are combined and mixed in a progressive manner, leading to a journey where flows of energy go different ways. the moments are there. the music is powerful. as it should be. spains own techno master tadeo from cyclical tracks, delivers another approach to >the waggler<, making it more pumping and enhanced with a touch of retro and a combination of futuristic sounds. a great remix from one of the most talented producers in the current scene. with >the wiggler<, expander rides towards a more hypnotic direction, still fuelled by heavy basslines and analogue sounds. the synth arrangements are totally mental and there is a sweet touch of darkness to the composition that makes everything even more interesting. are you a waggler or a wiggler? the choice is your

the response to sven kacireks album the kenya sessions (pingipung 20) was overwhelming. the cooperation between the drummer-producer from hamburg and musicians from kenya links electroni- ca with african recordings in a unique, exciting fa- shion. it therefore has been and still is being praised in various scenes from techno to jazz to world mu- sic. the cd will receive the award preis der deut- schen schallplattenkritik in may 2011, category: nu and extreme. also friends of the label have been enthusiastic about e quality of this material. pingipung therefore re- leases a 10inch vinyl with reworks of the album in the end of may. lawrence, hamburgs most melancholy house artist, co-owner of the labels dial, smallville and laid dedicates himself to the track kayamba tuc tuc. he reduces the track to its essen- ce, without adding anything new, and edit full of wisdom with heartfelt warmth. taprikk sweezee is the best known moniker of the musician nikolai von sallwitz next to gizmog or fussel . taprikk sweezee builds his soul glitch beats with ease, and he is by the way the most convincing electronic performer we know these days. one single track was not enough for his mix. wed love to see him dance with all the kenyan musicians who play on his two originals of choice, kayamba tuc tuc and mariae. furthermore on this 10inch: a rework of paperflowers by sven kacirek himself, created in cooperation with samy de- luxe producer sebastian winkler. finally, less a bonus but maybe the secret highlight: the ex- clusive sven kacirek track takaye village!

unos second release comes from montreals jacques greene. in his north american debut, we bring you two new tracks that reveal a darker, acid housed side of the lauded producer. lay it down unites bass swing with a floor shaking acid line thats known to make rooms dance like autism. new york house standards whatever/whatever give the flip side a jacking make over of 90s proportions. the hard hitting >what are you feelin< (which has been received much uk in the past year, including mary ann hobbs bbc show) finishes off the 12 inch, builds up the grand finale, after which you might find yourself in a puddle of something wet, wondering where greene went.

mister saturday nights eamon harkin dishes out another dose of rocking revamps on this the second release from his subway series imprint. this time the throne of blood man takes three numbers which should be somewhat recognizable to discerning ears and mutates them into jams designed firmly for the dance floor. >party out of sight< is a superb re-work of the bill withers seminal harlem. this edit made its first mark a few years ago in an earlier guise on mp3 but has now been further spruced and improved for wax. >the better kind< stretches out joy divisions >means to an end< and underpins it with a rocking drum pattern whilst >turn up the funk< is an excellent re-work of the proto hip-hop number >shoot the pump< from back in the day. a real bumper package!

somewhat of a metaphor for britain, welcome to goon island is born from the great british art school tradition, the core of the band having met at art college in sothend, vivid, interesting, expansive and far-reaching, an aesthetic that seeps into everything they do from their other-worldly videos via intriguing photos to extra curricular activities such as training dogs to dance. yet such apparent frippery shouldn t disguise their uncanny ability to pen rather fine songs, as welcome to goon island attests.

this release is strongly recommended. the first record of the enlightened wax series is a fine blend of incandescent house and techno tracks, flaring through the darkness of the night. all the tracks are written, mixed, and produced without the use of any software. light 1 (6.14) is like a ray coming from a distant star: it is slow building up on a wide bass body rising from atmospherical pads. a deep house jam with a touch of hi-tech jazz . light 2 (4.51) scatters raw beats in the urban skyline. an old school piano sample in addition to a aggressive bass line are the foundation of the track. its a breath-taking piece at the furthest boundaries between techno and house. on side b, the delightful journey continues with light 3 (5.34) an hymn to the glorious past of dance music. solid beats, ground shaking low frequencies, joyful voices, soulful piano chords call up the assembly for a return of the shining days. light 4 (6.06) fuses garage sounds and techno attitude. its massive dubby base breaks through sonic barriers. a dancefloor striker

the black tokyo project cd has been very successful for the enigmatic duo from detroit along with their two new japanese members ice truck and erika. remix sessions 1 embodies some of techno music hottest and charismatic artist such as bpitch control ellen allien, planet es keyboard guru niko marks from detroit and canada live impresario arthur oskan. ellen allien remix real to reel gives a tight minimal beat driven retake on an aux 88 funky groove. rounding out side a aux 88 original previously only available on the full length cd. side b shows why niko marks can take the >title track black tokyo< in a more kraftwerken sort of way with heavy beautiful strings and funkified groove. soul of black shows arthur oskan dance production skills as he delivers a bonafide minimal bass driven delight.

faze action maintain their fine run of form in 2011 with this four tracker from the shack, aka guy williams and dan williams (not related!) both have been active in dance music from the early 90s, with guy holding dj residencies at clubs such as the ministry of sound and turnmills during their pomp while dan williams aka d.r.w carved a career as a singer/songwriter. together as the shack they have absolutely nailed it with >touch it<, a sleazy-does-it italo peak time jam. arpeggiated synth lines, catchy vocal hooks and instant bassline work in jotous unison with some cowbell carnage. the 12 inch comes replete with a dub version and boogie influence faze action remix. rounding off the release is another original cut, namely >dont stop, in which tough drums combine with a late night vocal intoning the track title to bewitching effect. this shack attack has already found its way into the record bags of pete herbert and severino - expect it to be in many more come summer s end.

there are certain songs that are so very good, the only singular word that accurately describes them is satisfying. >wait & see< is one of those: an aural pleasure that scratches an itch and hits the spot so precisely, it almost feels like self-denial not to listen on repeat. on holy ghost!s latest ep, the absurdly catchy single from their self-titled 2011 debut gets a makeover from three of dance musics titans: cfcf, kris menace and richard x. and while this batch of remixes finds the artists behind each track steering in new directions, each finds a way to capitalize on the irresistible danceability of the original.

a very special release here from legendary rave producer eon, aka ian loveday. loveday, who passed away in 2009, was known and loved for his enduring impact on uk dance culture, although sadly this was the one and only release on his zarnak records imprint (although loveday himself released 12 inches on a host of labels including pal sl, vinyl solution and plus 8). upon release the papal magnet 12 inch sold out swiftly and soon became a highly sought after record - this batch was found recently and has been passed onto us with the blessing of lovedays family. on the a side you will find the relentless late night throb of >cable rider< - 90s techno at its finest. flip over for the moody introspection of >passing clouds< and raw, dusty analogue thump of >crosstown< - our pick of the bunch. an excellent release.

breakin bread continue to support the specialist soul and funk scene with a release from edenheight. they are not a new band, these guys have been gigging hard all over bristol and the south west, but it is their debut vinyl release. its not just another new funk offering, the band have a tightness from all the gigs and 2 superb female vocalists that make these tracks stand out from the pack.
edenheight are a deep-groovin and original outfit with a soulful urban sound. forged in bristol, their list of influences favour more percussive styles including afro, funk, hip hop + dub, and as such dance-ability is a precedent. this standard owes as much to an evolution in the citys underground live scene as to their appreciation of high energy musicianship and production.
