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

nu- trance melodies, micro loops of techno and the more sutil funk. butterfly kiss is even more behaved shamelessly and onírico. as dangerous as effective . the remixes completes the eclecticism of the maxi. yes maurice aymard is the dj, his fans dance in the studio. in shuberry it takes advantage of the hypnosis of the track and it reconstructs for the delight, more acid and dark, playing with the climax. in side b, alejandro vivanco, that it already woke up luciano (cadenza) including a tracks of his in his sci.fi.hi.fi. mix for soma, proposes a vision more experimental for the vinil. rythmical, textures, effects…. the risk is paradojica, there are no lines because he does t need them. the projection of his talent scares us , more closer than far away. you judge

if youre fed up of looking out your window onto grey dreary weather and desperately need some sunshine in your life then you are in luck. chris lakes new track >carry me away< does just that... described as being >reminiscent of a hot summers day dancing on the beach< this track is tipped for huge success. featuring the sultry voice of emma hewitt, an uplifting piece of blissed out electronica, you cannot help but fall in love with emmas beautiful vocals over a hooky piano riff that is chris trademark. complimenting the original, there is the sébastien léger remix which tears apart chris mix that gives you a deep, dark, electro-twisted journey, still keeping the vocal with a soaring orchestral break that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end

sunburst offers layers of eerie, whispered vocals wrapped around a dark and menacing chord pattern. as the track develops though, the chords open out to bring light to the dancefloor and dramatically change the mood into something wonderfully uplifting. marc also offers a reduced version of >sunburst< as a dub to complete the trip. the alexkid remix brings some proper old school house vibes to the mix. alex and his 909 go to work on marcs stabs to devastating effect. all hands are destined to reach for the lasers when the bass-line drops, and just in time for the summer. parisian alexkid works his magic for the remix. alexkid has in the past remixed everyone from astor piazzolla to george michael, provided serious dancefloor fuel with tracks like >dont hide it< and a number of critically acclaimed albums for the fantastic french label f communications

oliver huntemann already presents the 14th release on his dance electric label. but his release policy is far from being predictable or boring. with jens mahlstedt and andré winter he presents two long time dance music protagonists for the first time united under their real names. both started their careers back in the 90ies, and both delivered stunning production work, before there was ableton live and before there were software plug-ins. these 2 tracks on dance electric prove that they are still ahead of time. these dark and floor-rocking electro trenched tracks are spiced up with bits of melody and incredible arrangements. everybody fasten seat-belts – this is a hell of a comeback...

the music on this third release sounds a bit like a mixture of ame , derrick carter, lil louis, carl craig and basic channel. which is a good thing. we would like to think that this is the most loveable number so far. by miles! fonky, groovy, dark and deep techhouse that is just begging to be played at the right moment. paris the black fu from detroit grand pubahs has provided the vocals. and he actually has a message. can you relate?

archipel brings in two of its friends from uk, newcomer sozadams and moes ferry superstar croatian luka & lazo, for its fifth vinyl outing >tahiti excursion vol. 2< on which soz takes the a side and luka & lazo take the b side both bringing the dirty warehouse funk. soz starts things off with >broken thought< which is a thumping, sweaty late night floor mover which is sure to bend limbs in ways never witnessed before. >liars chair< is a slightly slower pusher which twists and melts along through corroded vocal snippets and dark polyrhythmic moments. luka & lazo take the same attitude of dark funk from sozs a side journey and shred it into a million pieces. >the safe< is a warmer tinged funk but still keeps things moving and grooving while >mood mode< jacks along and rips up a world of digital fabric. archipel keeps up the quality with ease and this is yet another piece of aural evidence to prove it

alejandro mosso, aka funzion, was born in mendoza, argentina in 1983. a student of guitar and music theory since he was 14, he started his solo minimal house/techno project >funzion< in 2003. his aim is to combine the production techniques of idm and clicks and cuts with the rhythmicalbforms of techno and microhouse. the result thus far has been a tricky, warm and energetic sound that has caught the attention of highly regarded labels such as telegraph, sushitech, and now alphahouse. funzions >stelle< ep consists of two warm, intricate, and percussive club stompers that showcase his grasp on complex rhythms and playful melodies. >random kisses< is a moody vocal excursion into the mountains of your imagination. a meandering track that suits open air parties as well as it does big dark discos, this is a spring season hit. >random love< starts out as a charming shuffley ballad, only to subtly morph into a looming synth rave monster, all the while keeping its playful and hypnotizing grip on the dancefloor. bomb alert!

slutbox (billy dalessandro & daniel mnookin) >nitrogen 2 oxygen 1< ep (jason emsley & brian ffar remixes) billy dalessandros, daniel mnookin & brian ffars beloved siteholder returns with one of the best releases in the labels history. the sound is infectious, minimal minded and addictive, spreading through the world like an epidemic this only proves their chapter on techno is yet to be written. the title track is intricate, layered and warm, some might say it makes reference to sleeparchive with its metallic drums and deep analog vibrations. the massive sub bass is something you must experience on a raging dancefloor at 5am, this will jack you straight into the afternoon. dark haunting vocals (very on par with the m_nus crew) clicks & cuts percussion and decaying melodies. flip this one over for massive analog richness with this huge jason emsley mix which i get the feeling he took a lot of influence from dan bell back in the day as this sounds like revisiting the 7th city again, stunning. the brian ffar & huge hephner mix is filled with ever evolving basslines and residual synth pulses on top of bass sophistication thatll beg for deviant behavior at any hour. perfection if i may say so myself, do not miss

chrysanthemum ep is the first new recording from kelley polar since his hugely successful debut album released in 2005, love songs of the hanging gardens. the seeds of chrysanthemum are described by mr. polar himself as a confluence of the apocalyptic fear that permeated all cold war childhoods, comic book illustrations of blood and violence abstracted into flora and a b grade science fiction novels portraying two teens in the final throes of lovemaking as the world is destroyed in nuclear apocalypse. yet despite this decidedly dark and unique approach, the song is nevertheless pure pop catchy and indelible once heard. rosenband is lighter in subject matter yet just as deep musically, filled with synthetic layers and rhythms that reveal themselves slowly on subsequent listens. despite the immediacy of the melodies, there is a detail that permeates all of kelley polars work and rewards the attentive listener. a completely reworked instrumental version of rosenband is stretched across the b side and is dare we say it a dancefloor killer, with a long, mix friendly intro building to an incredible crescendo. the track is arranged and mixed by morgan geist and was done so with djs in mind!
