alphahouse welcomes kai to the family, with the dazzling 3-track ep >gakuon< his debut release came last year on portables sud electronic label, and put him on our ones-to-watch list. now kai delivers his second ep and its a killer. with so much music in the world following the same patterns, and producers sucked into using the same cheap tricks in the studio, its refreshing to hear that some people out there are still capable of independent and abstract thought. we hope you agree. >ac< is a mutant deep techno piece equally suitable for dark club mayhem as it is for sunday brunch with the in-laws. seriously, try it out at both places and if it doesnt work the next beer is on us. >spacetravel< is exactly that. a micro-sampled ride though the cosmos. tiny vocal spurts and playful melodies surround a throbbing bassline. stripped just to the groove and not over-arranged, theres plenty of room to let your imagination roam free. >gravity< is one of those special inside tracks that we search so long and hard for. delightfully simplistic, yet incredibly groovy. its amazing how much you can do with a few well-placed sounds, isnt it?

new passage in the maetrik-regular relation that consolidates with this transform, new delivery of the man of dallas. following the line of the successful sexus published in may, this new delivery locates to maetrik in the best front sight of the best dj s over the world.. transform is a martian song, a disquieting voice that from the catacombs shows the way to the dance floor to us with a track evolutionary and hipnótic. acid uprock goes more direct to the objective, without contemplations. groove aggressive, dark and efervescent secuences. hexus is pure intensity. a melody sequential and marked that moves, moves, moves….

joey returns to his own jackin tracks imprint for a lovely 4 tracker, this time re-releasing two of his classic tracks and showcasing two new ones. for anybody who may have missed it, joeys >sunrise ep< on freaked records uk came out in 2004 and was widely regarded as one of the best records in his discography. the standout was >memories< featured here beautifully remastered on a1. it has since become a house classic, and also a very hard-to-find record. on a2 is >the devils groove<, a twisted cut perfect for those drugged out moments at 5 am in a very dark room. flip for b1s >country life,< nice dancefloor-aimed material with a massive bassline and soulful male vocals, this one was surely inspired by derrick carter and achieves that sound perfectly! and lastly is >45 funk< – the full a-side track on the original freaked release - old-school youngman sound, undeniably funky with a wicked keyboard solo thrown in for good measure

einmaleins 24 adds a new artist on the roaster! remute (denis karimani) enters the series of releases along with young talented ion ludwig (alphahouse / underline) remix that has been doing a great work lately.the original track is characterised by crunchy sounds and deep bassline, turning and twisting all the time keeping the groove all 7min long.the remix work maintens the original sounds but goes into more dark paths,with liquid underground synths and peaking up in groove drive. both sides killers

quality dark tribal house track by javith, salazar & gil. includes a great carlos fauvrelle mix

the long awaited new unit 4 release (on a highly limited amontillado pressing of 300 copies with hand printed sleeves). deep dark powerfull track with a unusual combination of a dusseldorfer (kraftwerk-ian) electronica loop and a massive techno-ish bassline and funny enough without any hi-hats which gives the track a strange tension. b-side is a stripped down version with a long intro and outro. the very power full bass and a catchy hook line (reminiscent of their body dub) makes this a monster track... check!

transient force is releasing a milestone of an ep with the night mal ach. shad t. scott aka gosub focuses on the signature, dark melodies and moody sounds that characterize electro. he cleverly composes an extremely catchy record, while maintaining the raw analogue sound and sensibility of a seasoned veteran. limited to 500 black labeled copies

incl. the prev. unreleased rmx of the ferrer / sydenham classic >timbuktu<! the second instalment from the apotek records imprint puts the nagano kitchen duo (jerome sydenham & hideo kobayashi) back in action again. this time nagano kitchen is serving up an energetic techno piece inspired by a classic eighties detroit techno, >north central< is simply a dj friendly crowd pleaser. this double a-side also includes the release of the much sort after technoid remix of the ferrer & sydenham classic >timbuktu<. this beefed up full on techno version speaks for itself.

for a few months already, sub static boss falko brocksieper gradually intensifies his work on the own label again. with driving minimal-beats and melodic instinctive feeling the track >slap< from the >slap/happy<-split-ep with mia evolved into a gladly played hit, and also the following >esque ep< was not just a dayfly in the worlds dj-bags. in this phase the new 2-tracker >blackbox< is now brocksiepers ultimate confession to the dancefloor - fully functional without lacking his organic, trippy branding. the track >blackbox< presents itself as a dark, impulsive techno mover, ripped open again and again by intuitively placed accents, only to remind itself of its own irresistible drive and to cultivate it over the full length. meanwhile the b-side >off the rack< is toying with the idea of chicago house groove, driven by a rebelliously grumbling bootybassline and bleepy excursions into the world of weird soundscapes. on both tracks falko brocksieper celebrates the sign stimuli of techno, delightfully modest and coupled with his signature bubbly, sculptural sound.

dark & mysterious detroit tribal techno / jeff mills - axis sublabel

after a successful label launch with eps by tigerskin and spektre heimatmelodie now presents an all new artist, alfredo clonk. and this guy is one to watch as he has a completely original sound aesthetic, something which you can say of only very few artists. the a-side >doppelkorn< (a german high percent alcoholic drink) is a primetime mixture of driving 909 beats, whissping snaredrums and groovy sequences which spontaneously bring the slogan >rave is back!< to your mind. a bit deeper appears b1, >back to bombay<, a dark bass-synth on a techy percussion basement puts the dancers into a relaxed groove

the release of memor007 marks the return from hiatus of memory boy records and also the final chapter in the history of mark verbos >big brother< after last years minimal techno mixes on csm and the original release in the late 90s. semblance factor(john selway) provides a dark fusion of jacking old school house rhythms, modern electro and twisted effects that accentuate the paranoid lyrical content. franz & shape give us an energetic dj tool which showcases their club-friendly electro-house/ebm/italo stylistic combination. finally from mark himself, an excellent classic acid house version in the same manner as his current and seriously effective live performances using the original roland analog synths and drum machines of the era.

pawel, also known for his melancholic and deeply emotional songwriter skills as turner on ladomat and mute, follows his path of minimal post-detroit influenced tracks recently heard on his dial release >ceramics<. having released 3 12inches on dial records as pawel so far, >jujuy&salta< marks a step on new ground, by starting his own label. orphanear is meant to be a open playground for both the pawel and turner releases, as well as for old and new friends, not only in the dance-spectrum. >jujuy< starts of with a slowed down, dark and bouncing synth line, and later on sound as if sähkö had moved to la and invited us all. >salta< turns up the velocity slightly and deliberately evolves into one of the sweetest and hypnotic detroit affine tracks in the recent past! played by dj koze & chloe

a full release by san frans beat broker-known for his edits and mixes and also one half of broker/dealer who released on labels such as asphodel, spectral, traum and californias own sentrall records. >warriors (in space)< is a massive, up-tempo synth track which sounds somewhere between tantra and patrick cowley - same epic vibe, cowbell gallore, guitar licks and spaced out sytnhs. oldschool sounds with a modern arrangement, just what the discotheque needs. flip for two gliding cosmic-edged disco-house cuts. deep, warm and emotional tracks that will work both for the crowd and the listener. timeless
