dark driving breaks with spooky atmospheres

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.

some candies for me is a dark electro flavoured progger with a cool guitar riff and fxd vocal snips flip for the joker with its cool electrohouse edge

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

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

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

sd records delivers three excellent new takes on the excellent, genre-defying and astounding >beyond the stars<. speedy j takes off with a deep, dark and minimal technotrack from the industrial realms of rotterdam. this will freak the crowds. syncom data go as deep as they can with the pulsating, low-end, trippy sd mix. playing live on the melodica, syncom data float somewhere between dub, techno, dubstep and electro, while chanting to the fall of babylon. legowelt proves his love for dirty, pumping chicago jack with this constantly rising techno mix that builds to a superb climax that will lift the roof and rock the floor

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!
