although jaxson and keno both have successful solo projects and have previously worked together before, this collaboration is bound to be their most notable release yet. a fusion of house, funk, latin and techno, all meet at the crossroads of their studios for a 4 track ep of sundry beats and fresh flavors. clearly the a-side, >tout le temps< is comprised of a clever hook and a hazy latino vocal sample, which carries the initial groove right into an originally played synth section. a good example of a refreshing approach to adding effects and using sounds. >tarantella< as the title might suggest, one might expect a track that would scare the living day lights out of you, but it has more of a >creeping up from behind you< sort of vibe. a subtlety creeping groove subliminally enters your unconscious mind carrying a secret message. what is that message you ask? dance! the congas on, >red baron< sound so live you can almost here the players licking their fingers. congas might be the groove in the heart of this tune, but the melody of the slick synth stabs and rising strings are what ultimately breath energy and spunk into this roller. >karate kid< initially has a minimal feel, but once the hacked up guitar and vocals come in, you can put those dirty thoughts to rest. abundant with an overwhelming amount of unique and interesting sounds, secure this tunes ability to prick up the ears of finicky djs and clubbers alike. it is rare to find such a wide variation of sound design on your run of the mill ep, but kindisch has proved they are not an ordinary label. they are consistently releasing quality tunes and always providing pleasant surprises. some might say it is a clichÚ, but this ep really does have a bit of something that will drive one club or another nuts

welcome to cascandy! a new project of a well known german producer is going to be huge! the debut single -one- will surely be one of the big, upcoming summer dance floor killer tracks in 2009 and is very equal like -cecille, voltage musique, oslo, or 8bit sound.

a brooding, belligerent, open top, ocean drive, wind in your hair eighties disco theme. very 80s. a perfect storm of dark synths and disco beats... where every dance floor is a crime scene.

the parkwalker is one of affie yusuf s monikers under which he released a handful of deep, soothing and hypnotic house gems on funknose, back in the 90 s. some people may also recall house of 909 releases on pagan or alola. we think it s time to get the parkwalker character out there again, walking the parks in search of magic potions and analog children. we think it s time for the parkwalker to rise again and intoxicate innocently wandering souls with his almost therapeutically caressing deep house magic. nowar has the honour and privilege to relaunch the parkwalker with its first release, degeneration. two deep spiritual house gems to which you dance with your eyes closed, melting away to otherworldly spaces. degeneration instantly talks to your soul and dictates the rest of your body with primitive universal moves and grooves. organic, sexy, and soulful music for mind and body. opendance continues the journey on the flipside with equal hypnotic deepness and electronic soothing sounds for angelic tribes in an imaginary future... essential house music

played by : ricardo, luciano, reboot, sascha dive, italoboys, melon.... friends meeting up to make, live and release the music they love... the following artists have contributed tracks to la peña so far : christian burkhardt & einzelkind meat & einzelkind, sascha dive, dorian paic & einzelkind, reboot, marquese, einzelkind, sercan, kia, fimo

daniel steinberg continues to have great sucess on labels such as microfon, grandpetrol and stylerockets and is also the main representative for front room recordings. with his last e.p, featuring >keep on movin< and >dont you know?<, enjoying such widespread sucess we thought we should call upon the remix skills of roman flügel and siopis for this release. roman has been artistically active sine the 1990s with his own labels playhouse, ongaku musik and klang elektronik contributing some of the best house around throughout the years. his remixes for the likes of pet shop boys, human league, primal scream and kylie minogue have garnered him a worldwide recognition and now he delivers in true style to front room. siopis, fresh from his get physical release >penny from the lane<, has also recently remixed mr. static which has further pushed his name into the international dance music vocabulary. his work can also be spotted on some of the most prominent labels like get physical, bpitch control and crosstown rebels to name a few. three quality remixes making one brilliant e.p that maintains front room at the top of its game.

this release offers 3 more tracks of quality techno! this time on the original mix angelo pomposo and tad g. dish out a track inspired by the murena, a fish infamous for its lethal venom. la murena starts in a deceivingly quite fashion, when, a couple of minutes into the track, the subtle background sounds take over with a mighty sting. by now more percussions add to the relentless groove. at the end just when you think it is calming down, a dark pad appears from nowhere bringing you in to the closing beats. all in all a track for every dj in search of good quality and effective dance floor productions. flavio folco and stewart walker take in charge of remixes! flavio folco s one is a deeper excursion into the dark side of tech-house, able to satisfy demanding customers with a good blend of dance floor oriented music. stewart walker s remix completes in great style the proceedings. while leaving behind his softer side he retains his own unmistakeable imprint with an excellent job, very much in tune with freshfood style! have fun!
