hot off the heels of onur Özers most excellent mind melt album kasmir, released october of 2007, comes the reinterpretations on vakants vr division. wonderfully thought out, vr handles remixes exclusively leaving vakant itself pure to its artists. this constellation leaves everyone free to the corruption of their fancy, allowing the artists to choose their own remixers. with onur, finding willing interpreters is not a difficult task and the heavy of the heavies representing the light and dark sides of the force are here on vr04. on the a side loco dice, aka tunisian born yassine ben achour, takes onurs instrument laden >eclipse< and puts it through the treatment. what comes out the other end is popping state-of-the-art tech house with onurs depth and loco dices spontaneous flow. on the flip things get serious. jens zimmermann , the deep, deep, freak out master hailing from frankfurt, contributes his own spin on >sahara<

dark hittin primetime techno

marco shuttle returns to serialism to deliver 3 tracks of groovy and elegant techno. filled with nicely laid out percussive ambiences and dark but uplifting sounds, it reminds us of older cadenza releases with a story/groove that never ends and a latin feel that seduces the body. this one will surely make an important impact in the minimall circuit

sounding like dj gregorys marching band heading through the back alleys of brazils favelas, >township funk< is the master work of one south african, mujava - real name elvis maswanganyi, a twenty something hailing from a pretorian township called attredgeville. dj mujavas formula on >township funk< is simple. its tough, dark, african dance music from the industrial city of pretoria. its perhaps the most infectious dance record youll hear this year, echoing the early warp sound of lfo or the forgemasters in an uncanny way, almost 20 years on, across continents. early props have come from erol alkan, hot chips joe goddard, sinden, diplo, modeselektor and trevor jackson

ltd backstock! >every message about new releases from neil landstrumm in the near past regarding the bass-techno seemed to be uncredible an unlikley. but now, his break to produce that kind of electronic music was over with releasing the ...ep on tresor records few weeks ago. so we are just proud to present the following output of neils creative work titeled >the observor< on neue heimat rec., a combination of his famous dark sounds with a deep bass and his new ideas and impressions from this young and exiting millenium. very mighty<

while for many of his contemporaries repetition became a new standard rather than innovation, jacek sienkiewicz with every release seems to be broading his musical horizons and challenging new territories. beacon seems to be even more organic than previous recognition releases, and the warm, yet unstoppable beat workout suddenly goes all jazzy and cinematic, with irresistible saxophone hook. big surprise here, but jacek blends the sounds into one of his trademark, 12+ minutes long, massive club anthem. another surprise is brought by the flipside - this remix is courtesy of the man of the moment michel bauman, here applying his soulphiction alter ego to dark, smoky and very tropical variation on a familiar theme. all over, another very impressive release from jacek sienkiewicz, man who never fails to impress.

this vinyl is very special - especially for kaoz and ewe! both of them had a lot of fun producing the tracks together and recording the vocals. those guys know, what a great hardtechno record really needs: dark and stompin tracks, including rough vox to fulfill everything the crowd desire! this vinyl is absolutely fun and all what music is about: 2 the floor!

tim green werden einige kennen von seinen platten auf dem us label dirty bird. tim ist ein enormes talent und schafft es hier mit seinem a-seiten stück >mr dry< die gefühle hochzukochen. >mr dry< ist eines dieser stücke das kindliche züge in uns in erinnerung ruft und uns gefallen daran finden lässt, mal richtig aus der haut zu gehen und die arme hochzuwerfen. das hört und fühlt man gerne... depression raus aus dem alltag und rein in die techno welt. spätestens wenn die runtergepitchte stimme von tim green kommt, geht eh nichts mehr. wie der man das mit einfachsten mittel bewirkt, dass ist wahre kunst. man merkt auch bei diesem track, tim hat noch viel tricks auf lager für die zukunft. das rückseiten stück >glow worm< ist so etwas wie der kleine bruder der a-seite. hier wird der ball flachgehalten, die stimmung ist eher dark und die stimme haucht etwas ins mikrophon. das geschieht alles mit einer gewissen unterkühlten art die auch sexy ist. schritt für schritt zieht die dramatik an und das stück und wird immer funkiger...

bunker goes all dark and underground again with the robot dystopia series. limited editions (350) black labels

reissue of this rare italo disco track from 83. probably our last italo disco release since most of it has been bootlegged by now but we really wanted to credit giuliano saglia for this magical release. >firelight< is bouncy 80s synthesizer disco with those trademark italo sounds and vocals (also included the instrumental version). but what should get you really excited is the flemming dalum >firelight< remix. he strips it down to the minimal and builds an amazing dark and intense version that stays true to the original sound but with a modern dancefloor approach.
