daniel solar is one half of dikso, the excellent edits imprint responsible for many a disco-rinsed dancefloor burner over the last year. the hannover native is also one of berlins emergent talents, a dj, producer, label owner and a&r intent on bridging the gap between disco and dance music, while coaxing the techno-loving citys tastes a little further off the beaten track.
as a child of the early 80s, daniel was strongly influenced by synth pop and dance music, before rap and hip hop caught his imagination and inspired his first forays into production. once he had finished school, daniel became more and more and intrigued with house and techno, clubs and raves, and his studio style expanded to take in electro, techno, and deep house until we arrive at today and his latest release: too much light ep.

possibly the biggest release on off in 2011 so far! off 26 introduces two new talents to the label: berlin-based friends daniel dexter and nhan solo. they deliver >our thang<, a dead-funky discofied summer tune, based on samples which all lovers of 90ies hiphop will dearly remember. on the flip side, labelowner andre crom & martin dawson deliver a deeper, more linear interpretation, based around a mighty bassline and an epic slowdown in the main break. second remix comes from luca lozano & sacha robotti, who score with a raw and toolish groove, adding further elements of the sampled song and additional sweet vocals.

russia is a cold country, but it seems that volta cab has created an underworld in his hometown, where he creates, creates and dont stop creating dance music with a warm, acoustic and timeless point of view. konstantyn gives us for this fourth release, three original tunes where acoustic are mixed with synthetics as no one ever had done and gives us details that only come to those music lovers who are never satisfied with a simple rhythm. this time the fiakun boys have two pure elite remixers, such as daniel bortz and ene! which they have remixed >be madly in my love< with their own perspective and initiative.

daniel dexter is the latest new talent to emerge as part of the poker flat crew. after some success with his strong, futuristic productions on exploited records, the berlin based producer has found a new home in steve bugs modern house magnate. the moody, storming >no house for old men< is a superb example of daniels talents. synth-heavy, dramatic and restrained, this slow burning houser lifts and climbs into spacey, ecstatic moments as its detroit influenced keys and carl craig-esque peaks bring it home. the groovy >who knows motorcity< works a simple yet addictive theme in a powerful pop-house moment, especially designed for summertime evening action. clean, bright percussion and rubbery synths flavour this delightful second course! the deeper, hypnotic tones of >the other day< have an almost soundtrack quality as subtle key changes and detailed sound design take this track into more subterranean realms. melancholic yet positive in its resolution, this is future house music in its prime!

dikso from berlin drop another amazing ep ! after five super sound singles here is diksos very first artist ep and of course it will be daniel solars job to do the kick-off. his retrospect ep features the most zippy stuff dikso has released so far without being an ordinary house record. the percussion is minimalistically filigree, the atmosphere is fluffy and aniyas voice on >can you really know< comes direct from outer space... er... down under. dikso006 a1 - summer, sunshine, a picnic basket full of delicious food and wine and someone to share a walk in the park. sounds cheesy? yes, you are right... but remember that every park has its dark corners. dikso006 a2 - daniel teamed up with aniya ouu, the grand lady of >melbourne deepcast<, a blog from a few down under brothers and sisters in spirit. intercontinental and interblogospheric, interdisciplinary and... (fill in a word of your choice that begins with inter) dikso006 b1 - thee role model of deepslowmonudiscoeditchicagoacidwhateverhouse. after finishing two longplayers earlier this year he spent some time to refine daniels track. the original shines through but everything is a little bit deeper, darker, stronger. its still a walk in the park, but imagine the voices of owls and some undefinable dark shadows instead of wine, women & song. dikso006 b2 - we still have his brilliant ep for permanet vacation in our ears and synapses and now he is here with a stirring remix for prime times and big rooms. the boys from dikso borrowed pional, probably spains best kept secret, from john talabots hivern discs camp who delivers a real monster of a track. john, they have promised to give him back, later... someday... somehow

hailing from the second largest city in norway, terje bakke has currently been making waves withsome mystical, hypnotic and melodic deep house. this is a miracle. bergen, norway is far away from the european house scene, or actually: far away from any music scene except for pop music. however, being excluded from the usual hotspots in the europe is something mr. bakke turned to his advantage: the results are tracks that without any doubt is categorised as deep, maybe even minimal, but sounds idiosyncratic and uniquely his own.

globe flavour. something about you is a boogie-house single from daniel pauls nightshift album. a collaboration between friends like dj honesty, capitol a & colin corvez. check out the bases on misunderstanding edit by alex barck. playd by chez damier. the instrumental edit is supported on dixons temporary secretary mix cd

already played by dj sneak, claude vonstroke, anthony collins, deetron, arnaud le texier, brothers vibe, m.a.n.d.y�. hello summer! the second release on arms & legs comes along with four jounty tracks. with >everybody everybody< and >my feeling< daniel steinberg brings us two powerful, pleasant primetime-tracks in his typical style on the a-site

charles widmore and daniel rajkovic seem to get along pretty well, musically. their tendency to the more reduced and slightly darker side of electronic music led to a fertile cooperation that culminated in an imposing 12 inch on rrygular. the three tracks ride wonderfully unagitated and alarmingly progressive along the labels typical minimal techno road...

hardly strangers to the scene, daniel bortz & sascha silber give what could very well be the summer hit of 2011. the 2 track ep titled >color of love/fantasy< is incredibly effective in creating a smooth late summer feel, perfect for open air nights. straight kicks, crunchy snares, and pressed hi hats, a bassline bounces next to the deep kicks

next up we welcome toronto resident daniel dubb for our 32nd release on area remote.
with releases and remixes already featured on viva, 8bit, rejected, supernature, saved and plastic city, daniel dubb is a name to follow closely as a producer and dj. scorching club systems in house and techno global party hotspots with his deep and techy sounds, we are happy he has joined the area remote crew with 3 techhouse tunes.

fifth release on the acclaimed imprint from those lovely people over at the acclaimed sleazybeats blog. the dust just doesnt seem to settle at team sleazy who are set to unleash their fifth dish of mid-tempo filth. sbr005 should likely round out what has undoubtedly been more than a successful year for the sleazy beats crew. as hard as it might seem to upstage their recent sampler, this release by berliner daniel solar (of no more hits and dikso fame) is another trio of totally on point sleazy business which showcases daniels stellar skills. things start off with midfidelity funk, a snappy romp through steady synth and disco string territory. this little number delivers a perfectly spell-binding groove with nicely placed rhodes stabs, crisp tambourines and haunting vocal at the breaks. on the flip, twinkle love snaps out a sweet melange of piano, guitar/bass riff and morphing vocals that combine to give a lively mood and open atmospherics. finally, rounding up the ep is la fleur, a wonky yet punchy cut thats ripe with staunch drum sounds and strings amidst loopy vocal snippets for good measure. all three tracks ride a 110ish bpm groove that is likely to ring bells for those who have been following and digging the sleazy sound so far. the last few releases all sold out in a matter of weeks, so dont sleep on this. you know the drill by now: limited release, no repress.

g.i.disco - an 80s history of cold war s hottest music in west-germany berlin local dj heroes kalle kuts and daniel w. best a.k.a. g.i.disco have compiled an excellent 80s soul, funk, r & b and disco selection. it combines representative music of that time with informative liner notes about the german historical background (which also is an important part of 20th century s world history), international artist quotes and worldwide renowned art by berlin based photographer frank thiel to an unique history lesson and listening experience. soul, funk and r&b from the us became a worldwide dance and clubbing movement during the 70s when it turned disco. in the late 70s and 80s more and more new electronic instruments like synthesizers and drum machines were added to the horn riffs and piano licks, bringing the funk back on the dance floor while still leaving it s soul untouched. although a global success story, it played an interesting role especially in the german experience. lp comes in gatefold sleeve.

your sorrows fading away, your body is feeling easiness. der berliner supdub-act philip bader ist die treibende kraft auf der supdub 014. in kollaboration mit daniel dreier sind zwei stücke entstanden, die den berliner clubsound klar definieren. philips idee ist es, mit >easy< einen natürlich, knackigen track zu stellen der seine eigene leichtigkeit im produktionsalltag ausdrückt und zugleich den typischen supdub-sound verkörpert. mit dem stück >house of spain< macht diese ep aber erst so richtig spaß. die wahl der gesangsstimme bringt auch hier lockere atmosphäre ins spiel und verzaubert den hörer. die sorgen sind vergessen, der körper ist gefüllt mit leichtigkeit, die sinne sind verzaubert - bis alles wieder vorne beginnt.
