right before christmas, its the perfect time to pause for a moment and to draw a balance of the past year. cocoon recordings eleventh year of operation was characterised by pacesetting compilations: the >k< composition designed an intensive vision of modern electronic dance music,and also >eleven years< was a techno retrospective and an outlook at the same time.and if this wasn’t enough already,cocoon now puts a very special christmas gift under our tree,the >dots and pearls< double vinyl compilation.

the catalog of pink stallone & joey washington singles continues with the arguable gem of their collaborative sessions, mine. the second daniele b & eddie mars co-production, mine exhibits the steady progression of the stallone sludge-funk thump, again fueled by gushing maturity and composure from washington vocals. eddie mars even delivers his own stunningly-authentic production of the stallone/washington sound, marking the first official mars rendition of pink stallone since his inception as a producer and member of the live group. with this comes two workouts by master of the deep the revenge who provides a stripped back timeless dub. one of those tracks that will still sound great in twenty years time. simple and effective with a hint of grandeur. finally wrapping things up are s.a.s (subb-an & adam shelton). following the bumping foot & mouth release earlier this summer we had to ask the boys to give there twist and they sure delivered. acid base and full throttle beats transform >mine< into a jacking dancefloor destroyer, be warned!

includes cd of the album arabxilla!
the debut album from the venezuelan aerea negrot is one of those records which speak with such intensity that her deepest emotions are instantly laid bare to the listener. this heartfelt account in music and words relays her unique outlook and life story to the world without a hint of inhibition.

6 track ep with pumpin techhouse techno action

pink stallone has been labeled everything from house to disco to garage r&b, but this concept project can only truly be defined by unique personality. a collaboration between fresh-faced new jersey producer, daniele barbarosa, and seasoned newark vocalist joey washington, pink stallone tracks are often marked by a concoction of classic songwriting sensibility with curious yet tasteful new instrumental landscapes. dancing in time, the followup to their self-released sleazoid funk anthem the six, wanders off into a dreamy-house domain, marked especially by additional production efforts from vietcong discos eddie mars

matthew styles remixes one of fofs biggest releases of 2010. never straying far from the source material, matthew wraps things up in his usual tight production style, employing a live bass sound and elements of the original melody to give things a tripppier edge than the originals straight up dance floor leanings.
on the flip and walking that fine line between house and techno, blm turns in a very fine and contemporary remix of drake and griifiths >the devils eyes<. dystopian in its outlook, the remix drives along with a simple but full bassline with plenty of dancefloor power.

decks store tipp !! check track 3 (daniele papini & dop)... dop have managed to create their very own interpretation of how dance music should sound which makes them really something special these days… but if you combine them with the power of artists like noze, wareika, catz&dogz or daniele papini you will get some serious bombs and we are really happy to present four of them on the second watergate records vinyl! these four tracks are all taken from their incredible mix for watergate and they show perfectly the range of the 3 guys from paris. from the state of the art deep house with catz&dogz to their great jam with wareika over to some freaky session with noze it all ends with a true dance floor smasher with daniele papini. enjoy!

here we have a double a-side 12-inch, with an intriguing new development of the secondo sound. still banging, still aimed at the club but with a sense of maturity and laid-backness, that the previous secondo material for dreck records might not have been centred around. the whole outlook has become more house orientated and we are very excited about this new mixture of the secondo splice-funk with the steadiness of early 90s house generating its own idiosyncratic sound. on the a-side, i think im gonna likeestablishes the housey mood of the 12straight off. a brief vocal sample is dotted over a relaxed rhythm until a break mid-track introduces the second half to its full extent and bloom. ædoktor panglosson the b-side continues with the mid-tempo flavour set out by the aside and is defined by a steady build up towards a disco sample beautifully placed towards the end of the track, where a heavy bass line cuts short the euphoria of disco strings. the sampling and references in both tracks have been pushed to the background and mentioning any of them would not do this exciting new material any justice. its all fresh!
