elbee bad is another great underground house pioneer from the formative days of nyc house in the late eighties. the true story of house music finally gets told... tip! like the burrell brothers, elbee bad aka lamont booker, is an early house producer from new york city. and the comparison doesnt stop there. elbee bad has also recorded under different aliases and has also remained largely unknown to a wider audience. he has also recorded for nu groove records, for which he has recorded his most famous material, but like the burrells he wasnt a nu groove fixture. bad recorded for a slew of other independent new york house labels like bassment, city limits, easy street, red heat, united states of america and then there was his own larhon records

Über die letzten jahre gelang es den the fresh & onlys sich in die herzen einer immer grösser werdenden schar von fans zu spielen. die fresh & onlys sind so eine richtige lieblingsband. es gibt eigentlich niemanden, der dem charme des sängers tim cohen und seiner mannen nicht verfällt. früher oder später kriegen sie sie alle. das who is who der amerikanischen underground labels (woodsist, in the red und captured track) rissen sich darum ihre platten zu veröffentlichen, auf dem all tomorrows parties festival sind sie sowas wie ein stammgast, und bands wie black lips und deerhunter haben ihre lieblingsband mit auf tour genommen. diesen herbst folgt ihr inzwischen viertes album, das endlich auch in europa erscheint, auf souterrain transmissions, der heimat von crocodiles, moon duo, zola jesus und coco rosie. >long slow dance< (oder auch l.s.d.) heisst das album. abermals geht es sehr romantisch zu und hittig, man fühlt sich an go-betweens erinnert und frühe (gute!) r.e.m., aber alles glücklicherweise nicht glatt sondern schrullig. es fällt da nicht leicht ein anderes label ausser pop im besten sinne zu verwenden!

considered by those in the know to be one of the founding fathers of dutch electronic music, rick van breugel makes returns to his rare electrick dragon alias for a superlative debut on the cyber dance imprint with space connection. hardly the most prolific of labels, cyber dance releases are invariably italo disco worthy of your attention and the three tracks here ensure this status quo remains! tough and rough, >night with you< finds room amidst the flexed drums and thick arpeggiated groove to drop some romantic italo vibes for the lovers out there, whilst some sort of odd laser fx on the two adds that extra degree of individuality to the gleefully effervescent exercise in constantly building joy that is the title track. final track >soon as the stars< is a production that could only have emerged from the lowlands, the ever present outer galactic synth work and subtle yet intricate tape saturated percussion complemented by key lines that spiral in and out of focus with hypnotic intent.

after his soul tinged #1 single >tonight<, migs returns back to basics with >dance and clap<, a fun, deep and dubby track based jam with an underground edge, containing plenty of knob tweaked pads, subtle synth melodies, thundering bass grooves, and rhythmic vocal arrangements. one for the dance floor in mind and reminiscent of his earlier track based works, migs knocks out these little gems for salted.

massive deep hypnotic house, with chicago flavours

gtcm is back for a very special debut release by parisian artist low jack. at the crossroads between avant-garde techno-funk and a mischievous take on the sound of yesterday, low jacks clockmacker beats are channeled through a radiesthesia pendulum and the effects are akin to vertigo-inducing opiates of the strongest persuasion.

(jamie read and felix dickinson). analogue synths and vintage drum machines rock along with an infectious old school style reminiscent of the early sounds coming from chicago and new york in the late 80s early 90s. think clubhouse meets nu groove. on the b side phoreski (felixs fellow resident at londons bad passion) delivers a remix that takes the track to another level, darker haunting synths and a robo vocal asking: do you like the way you feel, will you dance with me?

expanding on its global mandate, culprit touches down in germany in its talent search. essen-based ahmet sisman is the next new artist to be added to the labels burgeoning clan of contributors, with dance with the white rabbit ep - two originals of sparkling and exciting electronic house. nico lahs and audiofly, long friends of the label, add their skills and charisma remixing the anthemic title track.

a delicious six-tracker from our man from a.n.t.w.e.r.p. featuring remixes from fulgeance, cubic animal and joash and even a smashing house tune by the man himself. tall glass of water kbonus takes it slow this time with >dance baby dance<, a ridiculously groovy slow jam featuring vocals by jtothec, destined to get things shaking around the barbie at garden parties around the globe this summer. fellow antwerp producer cubic animal keeps the tempo but adds some funky abstraction, while french beatmaker fulgeance cuts some minutes, toughens up the beat and throws in some arcade game sounds. british compost darling joash then jazzes up the tune with some fine drumming and double bass. bonus track >strength< is a mean house stomper for the wee small hours of the morning. now thats what we call a six-pack.

first up we have a remix by canadian jeremy glenn (we play house, future classic). jeremy turns marcos cabrals original sweet & sour into an epic deep house masterpiece. its reminiscent of razes break 4 love while sounding modern and fresh

mercury are on fire. already they are called the new swiss house mafia, with their brothers from round table knights (on made to play) they are working on a new, funky, heavy energetic kind of house music. here is mercurys third single on gomma. three deep jams. deeper then the last single. paris house 1998, and gospel percussion from the 20th century, if you know what we mean

brilliant dessert island discs edits, decks tipp

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythings that sounds fine to their ears ! for our 28th release, we are back again with simoncino for the >warrior dance iv<, this brand new ep will feature on a side the wonderfull chicagos proto – house jackin heaven tracks >its hot>, >movida< & to end >ore nove nove<. on the b side, we have the very big honor to get 3 extraordinary remixes, two (!) from the legendary merwyn sanders from virgo four fame & another one from another legend the great gene hunt ! this is the kind of release that will remind you whats house music is all about. useless to say that simoncino is on top right now & is writing some future & cult club classics. a must to have in every djs collection

fully koded chicagoians traxx and beau wanzer team up for another mutant beat dance release. together they have produced arguably the best 80s chicago house record not made in the 80s. the mutants call it jakbeat, inspired by the early days of house music. tip!!! let me go is as intense and rhythmically inclined as they come. naughty woods sparse vocals cry desperation, almost nearing insanity, which makes up for a pressure cooker like warehouse anthem. rottonfunk is another intense work out which has a killer groove and makes us wander off to the promised land (wherever that is). its delightful to hear that chicago house music this good still gets made. surely when it was released way back when, it would fetch top dollars on the interweb. authentic stuff!

here comes the new telonius single. deep, funky, straight to the point house music. perfect follower to the last singles >last night< and >now<.
the german fellow who since 3 years is regulary creating euphoria with his futurstic house tracks. check also the remixes by ramon tapia from great stuff and nico purman from argentinia. new shooting star on crosstown rebels along with maceo plex. the single comes along with a video made by mirko borsche.

transmissions from the cyber dance imprint have been sporadic since its inception in 2005, but when they arrive they are always something very special indeed. ostensibly one of italo discos great lost producers, we suspect that bandidos gang may well be a nom de plume for one of the labels many associates. whatever their provenance, the tracks certainly sound like vintage italo, with >marinche< leading with a pulsating bass arpeggio and synth horn melody worthy of moroder, whilst the flemming dalum & steen gjerulff remix adds layers of vocoder and a variety of cosmic accents to its sturdy frame. >last train to tucamari< meanwhile takes a more languid approach, pulling in an opposite direction to the speeding train samples, whilst flemming dalum & mike saltas remix adds some guitar licks, hazy synth atmospherics and even a flute solo which just adds to the classic italo feel.

not only is this ep gerry reads debut association with delsin, but so too does it mark the launch of a new house-focussed series from the dutch imprint.

prinzhorn dance schools sophomore album, clay class, releases a quiet energy amongst a dark landscape, inarguably in tune with the downtrodden economic situations that have permeated modern life in the bands native britain, and conversely, along our shores. tobin prinz and suzi horn form a compelling duo whose shout-and-answer approach, paired with edgy and steady bass/drum patterns, achieves perfection in songs such as >seed, crop, harvest< and >your fire has gone out<. the album is constructed on the emblem of empty space, as songs such as >i want you< bridge the gap between musical minimalism and cold intimacy. the oscillation between starkness and warmth pays homage to the bands debut 2007 release, while also creating a modern, if not postmodern, musical snapshot of life across the pond, as well as in our own backyards.
includes full cd-version of this album.

great 12 inch featuring two superb rarities from renowned disco label sound of new york. run by legendary producer peter brown, this small harlem-based imprint garnered a massive reputation in the late 70s and early 80s turning out some of the best disco tracks ever made. first up here is ny disco funk favourite >dance freak< from chain reaction. produced by peter brown himself, this is pure dancefloor dynamite, as raw and funky as it gets with pumping horns, grinding bass, wild percussion and crazy synths building steadily to a high-octane blistering dancefloor freakout! on the flip is the equally fantastic >shout at the disco< from little scotty, another relentless rough grooving jam, also produced by the prolific mr b. with both these tracks super-expensive and extremely hard to find in the original, don t miss this chance to get your copy!

slz s debut release on organic label is marked by three tracks, which differ stylistically but are united by the original signature of this young and talented french producer currently based in berlin. his rich musical palate makes org002 ep versatile release that can always be handy to have in the record bag.

more vinyl remixes from psychemagik with the long awaited official > dancehall days< remix sanctioned by jack hues from wang chung himself. jack liked psychemagiks re-edit of dance hall days so much he contacted the duo and offered them the parts for an official remix. the result is a monster dancefloor friendly beast that is true to the original edit but with some extra magik! limited edition white vinyl release limited to only 500 copies, dont sleep! psychemagik stand out from the crowd with high production values and innate musicality. i usually find remixes tedious, but this takes you on some off-world journey – very cool. jack hues (wang chung)

mercury are on fire! their second e.p. is still hot in the boxes of djs like brodinski, deetron, round table knights, phonique and pedro winter. and they already come with a third one. they asked one of their favorite singers in house music to join them and the result is more than just a burner. mercury & robert owens >candlelight< is a deep burner that wont leave your head. its a super futuristic slow house jam with a tricky, unexpected beat and a harmonic change that makes you... lets say: cool down? remix ep and more tracks coming up soon. mercury currently cant miss. they are rollin...

it is one of our traditions to release remixes of our favourite artists and so we are happy to feature top remix artists for this minilogue remix release on traum.
the >drop the mask of self protection< remix of dominik eulberg is a bit of an adventure! unlike his >diorama< album and maybe because of its elaborate musical challenge, he has taken a time-out to create a serious club format in the true eulberg style witnessed on trapez in the past. so what does that really mean for this track? well this remix kicks off a bit of an relaxed percussive and deep house groove and undergoes in its course quite an explosive transformation! with a lot of skill and finesse mr eulberg pulls the strings with accuracy and makes the transfer of what unfolds to be a heavy big pounding techno rocker! thumbs up this is superb and eulberg at his best.

nice price deal !!! hdr kicks off the new year with a bang. this time we see marcos cabral’s fledgling nyc label induct some new talent alongside himself.

after releasing with sonar kollektiv and defected, michael beim aka skwerl became a gigolo in 2009 and now releases his third 12 inch for us, the you need to dance ep, with some of his most inventive work to date.

apartment records 2nd release comes from irelands analogue-obsessed soul assassins, tr one. on the a-side, drum dance is a fusion of beatdown with a minimal techno aesthetic, creating a hypnotic journey through the duos machines. the b-side serves up 2 alternative takes. john heckles debut remix takes a heaving, lo-fi approach to the originals drums while layering it with wistful synths, before juju & jordashs dub version closes off proceedings in their inimitable style, expansive yet claustrophobic at the one time.

vier großartige remixe von zwei tracks der im frühjahr 2011 erschienenen mini-lp des kopenhagener duos parallel dance orchestra, das aus robin hannibal (owusu & hannibal, boom clap bachelors) und der rapperin coco solid besteht. die club-mixes kommen von salax peep show alias axel boman und petter), maxmillion dunbar, maxxi soundsystem und spectacle (permanent vacation).

giueseppe cennamo, head honcho of carillon records and a true gentleman from naples, returns to desolat with 4 inimitable tracks. let your love flow with its infectious minimal groove and mantra-like sample repetition, stomping >dont move<, bass heavy >marimba< which was one of loco dice secret weapons for a while now, and a stumbling >dance till tomorrow< with its spooky shouts – here we have 4 inimitable dancefloor tracks on coloured 12 inch with a label artwork by samitoon

>let life dance thru you< reveals itself as a safari of live played percussion, instruments and sounds. the duo create here a biotope of sounds that interact with each other... like a live band would do… at times almost arabesque sounding this track is full of mysterious soundscapes... jazzy played instruments... flutes running havoc... it could as well be: a spiritual voodoo session from the 70ies!
the whole sound selection if it would be described in colors, would be dark brown, black... with bits of gold. no shiny lights or illuminated plains. almost 11.00 minutes long this track is a real journey and certainly for the people who know rather than feeding djs.
