chaos in the cbd invite some friends for a jazzy deep-house session.

action, tension and drama rhythms from 1970 - 1980.

dead cross ist eine neue band, bestehend aus mike patton (faith no more, fantomas, mr. bungle), dave lombardo (ex-slayer, misfits, suicidal tendencies), justin pearson (the locust, retox, head wound city) und michael crain (retox). gemeinsam liefern sie mit dem gleichnamigen debüt eines der sehnlichst erwarteten metal-alben des jahres ab. dass dead cross nicht in genre-konventionen verharren, dafür bürgen die protagonisten. hier eine coverversion des new wave-klassikers von bauhaus namens -bela lugosi s dead-, dort der gesang, der gerne mal virtuos die tonlagen wechselt. dennoch bleibt das klangbild von dead cross immer auf den punkt. die musik ist hoch-energetisch, streckenweise sehr dunkel gefärbt, die inhalte verarbeiten indirekt die aktuellen verwerfungen in politik und medien. lp mit glow-in-the-dark schriftzug in transparent / rot / schwarz und downloadcode inklusive!

>let life dance thru you< reveals itself as a safari of live played percussion, instruments and sounds. the duo create here a biotope of sounds that interact with each other... like a live band would do… at times almost arabesque sounding this track is full of mysterious soundscapes... jazzy played instruments... flutes running havoc... it could as well be: a spiritual voodoo session from the 70ies!
the whole sound selection if it would be described in colors, would be dark brown, black... with bits of gold. no shiny lights or illuminated plains. almost 11.00 minutes long this track is a real journey and certainly for the people who know rather than feeding djs.

played by ewan pearson, dubfire, dave seaman, hernan cattaneo, mihalis safras, seth troxler, pig&dan, thomas schumacher, troy pierce, karotte, sebrok, ramon tapia, carlo lio ,.. text: october 2010 saw the release of dapayk solos debut ep for herzblut recordings. >futu< with its array of inventive sounds and structures was an instant smash, warmly received by both djs and dance press alike. the >bevita< ep sees dapayk make a much welcomed return to the label

supported by: reboot, dubfire, ewan pearson, samuel l session, raresh, tim xavier, christian smith,.. with oliver deutschmann & ed davenport polytone proceeds on its way to focus on exceptional artists who have something really profound to say musicwise. quite slowly, but highly stringently deutschmann and davenport build up this musical journey until, without really realising, youre in the middle of a very slamming house track of a truely oldschool kind which gains further drama due to subtle chord changes. in his remix, matthias vogt from motorcitysoul further emphasises the tracks house character by adding more chords and then lets the deepness culminate in a wonderful break. robert bosco totally breaks out of the traditional catgories house and techno and combines the best of both worlds in his remix distilling it to a kind of essence of electronic music. all three tracks have in common an immensely consistent approach and a pleasingly trend-resistant understanding of deep music

big support from optimo, ivan smagghe, azari & iii, matthew dear, simian mobile disco, dave p, runaway, michael mayer, jackson and his computer band, ewan pearson, hercules & love affair....

supported by adam beyer, john digweed, dominik eulberg, ewan pearson, perc, danny tenaglia, dave tarrida. roland m. dill is a passionate dj, trained musician as well as bit of a scientist. this release tells a story of psycho acoustics. so expect >low go< to be something special for your ears and for your soul. roland likes chicagomusic and this track has the chicagoesque feeling in it from the beginning. those who remember green velvet will get a hang also on this powerhouse-techno production! this track will be easily fitted in to every berghain dj set and rock the shit out of everyone on the dance floor. dont expect dubbed out lushness, this is serious dance or die action .
the remixes come from prominent producers around europe, so starting chronological from a2 to b2: sian has appeared on a lot on raves and parties with his surf board. he is an international traveller who loves to be reminded of the times when surfing farmers left their houses with door frames and no doors. his remix works in a way a countdown functions. building up tension at an incredible speed, this track is set out to explode... but sian would not be sian if he had not developed a club friendly torture . sian rides the wave of superfatt basslines and adds a sequence that sounds as if someone had replaced his teeth with thin pieces of metal, creating a humming voice comparable to one of a jaws harp. sian keeps the tension going with very few elements and shows he is a true masterof techno.
secret cinema has been accompanying us since his first releases mid of the 90ies and we truly believe quality prevails, not to mention his mayor chart hit just 3 months ago with “shake ur tech-ass”. well secret cinema is unbelievably massive in his production. we dont see how anyone can fatten up the sound more than he can. but it is not only about tuning and pimping and pimping and tuning... his remix is a masters piece of perfectionbecause it creates something rare... deep emotional hydraulic strength. this is like diving head on into a pool of silicone and getting sucked into it. this track has an hypnotic feel to it that is comparable to radiohead.
darko esser is an icon in the techno scene of the netherlands. his remix takes the track in to a direction you would not expect it could go to. starting rather minimal darkos remix soon takes a turn and brings in jack elements and cool nostalgic melodies that will warm the heart of every detroit techno lover. was it derrick may who played chords like this... these strings are looked up in the back of our heads like childhood memories of having your first popcycle exploding in your mouth. this is soulful music with just enough analogue imperfection and warmth to it.

the fantastic greek producer petros mangaranis aka echonomist returns to time has changed. after the success of his first release >hidden treasure<, he now comes at us with his latest, the >chute e.p.< with his modern vision of electronic music, echnomist expertly combines real instruments with machines, with wonderful results! >chute< is an endless summer track. with its alloping synth melody, it is deep, brillant, smart and so efficient on a dancefloor.

firm fave of: ewan pearson, agoria,fabrice lig, ali schwarz, shinedoe, ben watt, jimpster, umek, bodzin !!! pele is back, this time in cooperation with shokh aka dave shokh, dipolder label owner and kiddaz.fm ambassador. peles last release >childhoods end< is one of connaisseur most successful releases so far in 2007, with plenty of licensings for many important summer compilations. thumbs was already released as a limited 250 copies white label release in february this year. finally this great rumbling techno track found its way to connaisseur, to be presented to a bigger audience. >thumbs< is a squeaky, twittery and kickin minimal techno track packed with a bunch of little astonishing moments. already featured on patrick chardronnets grand cru mix, this is more than a perfect mixing tool: a stripped down minimal hymn, no redundant emotions, strictly rhythm a quality ass-shaker! simon baker leeds-based shooting star of 2007. after his amazing releases on playhouse, connaisseur, viva and his own imprint infant, he drops this massively bouncing techno monster of a remix. kind of chicagoesque, kind of daft and massively pushing pure peaktime madness!
