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.

for berkane sol 18 we present the vinyl debut of the hugely talented aleks zen. he calls his outfit >neon bounty< and its easy to hear why. his brightly coloured music is like the soundtrack to a thrill seekers ride through the downtown areas of a tropical metropolis – sensuous but edgy, and properly booming on the right kind of car stereo. his riddims are propulsive and a joy to dance to, bringing together the best aspects of both house and dubstep.

jeroen verheij has been churning out dance floor smashing tracks for almost as long as many of todays clubbers can remember under his aliases secret cinema, grooveyard and meng syndicate to name a few. tracks like timeless altitude, mary go wild (ec records) and kurzweil (cocoon) invoke warm memories in many of us. in december of 2009 verheij set up his own label gem records and started to release the unique sound he is famous for as a dj. now, just over a year later, gem releases its first full album - and this ep is the first preview from it!

throne of blood present ford inc, mission 1 ... a-side >satire< recalls the deepest moments of classic transmat artists like mayday, pairing uplifting pianos with emotive synths and a propulsive vision of techno-futurism. on the flip, >delirium< lives up to its name, pairing a dissociative bassline with jazzy vamps and organic drums. eschewing the obvious big room crowdpleasing maneuvers in favor of emotional and melodic complexity, the latest on throne of blood marks the arrival of something special in dance music. keep an ear to the ground for more from ford inc later this year.

**hand-stamped white label, limited edition of 400** four effluvial techno and industrial bass weight remakes of tracks from cloaks debut lp by ancient methods, justin broadrick, oyaarss, and legion of two. >versus grain< was one of the darkest transmissions we caught in 2009, whose rotten and rusted fruits provide brilliantly raw material for the remixes. its worth the cost of entry alone for ancient methods nine-minute viking ruffige remix of >r.f.i.d, the kind of northern european tribal funk workout that makes folk dance like they mean it. on a more crushed and crushing tip, legion of two dole out scorn-strength percussion and muscle tearing bass torsion on a remake of >against<, while oyaarss dismantle >sixmenace two< and rebuild it as frankensteinian dancefloor monster. to polish off the foolhardy few still standing, justin broadrick (jesu, godflesh) detonates >rust on metal< with bombastic halfstep force, giving a bitter taste of what to expect from his 3by3 album, due out next year. heavyweight.

this release represents the inception of aniligital musics curator series. limited edition vinyl-only releases of exceptional music. chocolate penthouse is a musical collaboration between jean-claude bertrand and julian juju barber. they refer to themselves as self-loathing frenchmen in pursuit of dance and music perfection. the bands >whitney houstons bathroom ep< is a product of their braguette dissertation at juilliard. the san francisco-based duo melds punk rock roots with modern-day dance d ontologie. electronic music that reflects the spirit of live performances, where themes and phrases emerge while transitioning organically, inspired by the moment rather than a pattern. also included on the record is tal m. kleins manchester inspired remix of the bands >quiche aux trois fromages<.

proving they cant be pigeon holed into any one particular niche, midnight lab band returns with a 7-inch release inspired by 80s drum machines and provocative synthesized chops. >laser tag< is a high powered infusion of dark disco soundscapes, a thumping yet nostalgic vision of dance music through the lens of mlb. on >dons demo<, the lab dives into the family archives to resurrect and refashion an obscure yet timely recording from don stark. channeling earlier eras of mid-tempo mustache soul and one-man synthesized ensembles, this is a slow boogie burner to ride to.

for release no.4 sudden drop enlisted the talents of russian based recording artist & dj tripmastaz, who has been producing for the likes of morris audio and most noticeably dj sneaks magnetic recordings imprint since 2004. with each release his sound seems to get more defined and mature and our attention which seriously pricked when we first heard his tracks being played on jus-eds radio show. we quickly got in touch and asked for some tracks. first up is >utilized stock sounds<, originally produced in 2003 this melancholic slab of deep techno deservedly finally sees the light of day with a grimy lo-fi feel and enough dance floor nous to work the floor admirably. flip side track >botinko dub< injects a big, cavernous bass line and razor sharp hats n snares.

when we heard pompeya for the first time and were told they were from moscow, we were like: - what!? are you kidding? this is probably the first russian band singing in english with such a classy brit touch and male vocal being very strong and sophisticated at the same time. they jestingly describe their style as >melodramatic popular song< and >cheenese< is indeed a very dramatic piece with simple yet powerful composition and lyrics that really make big sense. the original is very well supported by a bunch of remixes each of which is unique on its own. an-2 & samos come with a warm, relaxed and funky instrumental version which is followed by a blockbuster mix from moscow disquo maestro leonid lipelis (an entirely perfect dance version of the original that could ever exist) and finally, for those few sirs and mesdames who are not yet aesthetically satisfied and who still find themselves seated while others jump and shout, here come d-pulse with their paranoid mix that gathers the thunderclouds to the full darkness and - at the end - lets the revival sunbeams break through.

the two dutch artists warren fellow and michel steinbach team up again to show what good dance music is. but this time they give their debut on mannheim based label circle music. again they created a unique eclectic mix like they did on their successful cosmic ep in 2009 or together with legendary todd terry with >got a soul< in 2010 where they proved that they are very able to handle house music. on the a side we have some straight beats with classic percussions at the beginning. but very soon fellow and steinbach come around with some synthesizer hook which melody is quoting the nineties. the vocals only brings it down to a round figure.

big with: koze, adam port, alejandro mosso, mandy, anthony collins, sebo k, troy pierce, arnaud le texier, rozzo, axel bartsch, benno blohme, cesare vs disorder, dubfire, gel abril, james teej, jimpster, julietta, kabale & liebe, mark henning, meat, .. for this 3rd release, raoul records brings us some very personal stuff from no other than the label s founder himself: gregorythme. two long tunes in which he shows us that there are no limits as to how far he can go with hypnotic synthesizers and reduced rhythms. the a-side brainstorming features very rich house tunes with a mental twist. it s a track with a big, edgy potential on the dance floor. one part old school, one part avant-garde - this recipe is sure to create confusion on the dance floor and make a little storm in house music lovers brains. the b-side is almost a love song! a hypnotic and melodic tune. gregorythmes juno does its best to give you the shivers. the track is called some more and that is precisely what you will be asking for after you have heard the song... who said 10 minutes were long enough?

the 12-inch sampler for >panorama bar 03< could have hardly been better. hitherto unreleased, the tree tracks on ostgut ton 47 tick all the boxes that make prosumer such a unique dj: house in its various identities. soundstore starts the triptych with >take u<. greatness and frantic fever visions go hand in hand while hitting the core of chicagos second wave: dance mania, cajual, and relief with siren-like hooks in a feverish delirium. irresistible. prosumers panorama bar fellow steffi slows down the pace. >sadness< that surprisingly did not make it on her album debut is not only the opener of the actual panorama bar mix, but also a tribute to that kind of deep house that doesnt take its prefix lightly. in the end, berlins hunee teaches you a freestyle lesson. in a similar way to the young pal joey, he feeds his sampler a well-known dish, but throws in peculiarity, rascality and deviation to get new results. after all the time, this music is still not getting a bit long in the tooth. lets take a love break.

label bosses are back in tandem for the sixth release on micropunto: wine ep, which also marks the beginning of micropunto schallplattens vinyl era. wine ep started as a back to back game after a spillage incident. ikkaku and d-gelo started producing two separate tracks in their respective stations and every half hour they swapped seats, building the tracks as they went along. the result is this musical experiment that sets the trend for all things to come from the micropunto clan. they spilled wine on me kicks in with a deep lead stab from the catacombs. the elements appear on the scene in a stride to resurface. it goes up then down, left, rigth, it gets dubby, then back in your face. in i spilled wine the beat unfolds steadily like a bulldozer coming up to the surface in search of the true sound. next we meet the preacher. with a subtle housy piano lead he puts us in the right track, reminding us that the dance floor is made of sand and we are on the rivers bank. listen to the flow. lord techno, you are my music. originally inspired from a dub tune featuring ras ajay from the spaceship sound crew in london,dubwine closes the triangle with a huge dub flare. fat subsonic bass and broad stabs make this track a serious contender on the dub techno charts. its the producers blink of respect to the reggae culture that has inspired them all through the years, hence the vinyl release.

walter merlin jones is a perfectionist. a presence in the house scene since the late 80s, the dj and producer has, over the years, created thousands of undoubtedly wonderful, but unfinished, songs – a staggering collection of musical bits that have fallen victim to his tendency to be his own worst critic. yet, that same perfectionism has yielded some of the most engaging dance music of the last decade, however scant – songs that are aural proof of his preference for quality over quantity. joness first dfa release, 2009s >ill keep on loving you/living without your love<, confirmed his commitment to this idea with subtle grace and slow, seductive rhythms. now, with graceful exit – which pairs joness talents with singer ellipsis, boston producer chas bronz and saxophonist jesse allen — the new orleans-raised artist continues to showcase his discerning ear, proffering music with a modern, evolved take on discos very best virtues.

when delorean toured with teengirl fantasy last spring they told us about a song that had really blown them away. when they shared it with us we understood why. it was called >cheaters< and sounded like an instant classic. very different to the trademark psychedelic jams of the duo, the song was homage to classic chicago house from a modern perspective. built around layers of blissful synths and borrowing the vocals of first committees >cheaters never win<, it had that kind of energy that we sometimes miss in contemporary dance music. later that summer, john talabot visited new york and became aware that the track was going to be released by true panther sounds only as part of the album >7am<. something sparked inside us. we felt it was not fair that such an incredible track had to share its vinyls grooves with other songs so we thought it would be nice to dedicate a full maxi side to it.

supported by luciano, douglas greed, gorge, the glitz, mihalis safras, kombinat100. spring has already arrived at his secret playground: the warm air is filled with cheerful laughter and bare feet are moving rhythmically in the green grass. mollono.bass reveals a very laid-back character but also a very independent and open-minded approach to electronic dance music on his debut album. the first track in the meadow represents not only a humorous hint on the best possible place to listen to this work but also creates kind of atmospheric foundation for the entire album in its light and fluffy manner. the lively hustle and bustle on the hidden playground happens in many different ways: sometimes it s the frisky bounce of hopping basslines and stimulating house rhythms, sometimes its hypnotic sound structures that take the listener on an adult adventure. but above all its the unmistakable sound of real instruments and their melodies which create that earthy, organic groove of mollono.bass, a groove that gives rise to mighty spring feelings.
