dominik eulberg, bukaddor&fishbeck, minilogue, jesse somfay, super flu, thomas brinkmann, moonbeam & process sorgen mit exklusiven & hochwertigen tracks für eine ausgelassene jubiläumsfeier bei traum. wir gratulieren ganz herzlich

strong electro/techhouse burner. includes lÜtzenkirchen remix, that will make everybody stay awake for at least 3 days, and cool phunk investigation mix

the album title track >my manifest< shows, that marco stays true to his love for house chords. old school riffs meet energy loaded beats and his dark self-spoken manifest and reveal a new, more technoid face of marc o tool. >the grail< however shows, that he also still knows how to embed harmonies in a club outfit. driving rhythms reminding of the old o tool days, get alternated by an emotional piano breakdown, to finally find their way back into the floating monotony

playlist of: luciano, ricardo, magda, serafin, loco dice, karotte, anja schneider, matthias tanzmann, paco osuna..... the uprising hero on momentum with his follow up on trapizator, which was his debut on vinyl and sold out within days! now he joins forces with another, really highly acclaimed guy from the rhein-main-area: matts star is the guy to deliver a remix-bomb as expected. this release is going to be played by everyone, so no need to mention names.

alex krueger is ready for his next strike on dirt crew rec. the follow up to his excellent <push the patton< single is an absolute minimal killer, 3 quality tracks here and a different side of tigerskin for each taste. all tracks were produced with analogue equipment only which has become pretty rare these days ! the title track is a warm and reduced builder with an absolutely devestating guitar breakdown, people will remember this one for sure when they first hear it out on a big system. the second >wanted< is a typical tigerskin rave anthem, similar to his master hit >neontrance< this one is pure power on the dancefloor. the last track is more funky and has a great electro groove to it, this one has become a favourite in our sets over the last weeks and also features a beautiful break with great analogue sounds

the chart buster martin solveig was glad when his roman friend and colleague lorenzo rumi called upon him to return to the roots of house music, starting from the early, glorious chicago scenario and its immediate and infectious groove. so far away came to life, as an impulse with only 2 days of hectic studio session and a few liters of coffee. the guys worked on a stricltly old school basis, then added a full vocal and new elements to bring the fine charme of todays house, turning so far away in a contemporary composition rich of surprises and thrilling breaks. the performance of australian soul singer rachel claudio gives a touch of attitude with passionates and unforgettable vocals. definitely another epic stone in the b2f wall!

slamming freakin funky house cuts

not only is franklin sharing his flat with yapacc these days, hes also remixing the likes of peter grummich, colorswitch, ricardo villalobos or pheek, the berlin resident is also releasing constantly persuasively arranged and produced music on crack & speed, sender, trapez, immigrant and on his own imprint the green empire (which is he co-running also with his long-time friend yapacc). >this is probably the best cadenza release which hasnt been released on cadenza<, said a journalist a week ago - and who are we to deny this? these two tracks are beautifully towering tripped-out, post-minimal techno pieces which are not only suitable for late night moments.

superb minimal techno/ techhouse from berlin.. produced by s.hirtenfellner

in 2007 tom dazing established himself as one of the most up and coming artists of belgium. at just 21 years of age he can count richie hawtin, josh wink, james zabiela, marco bailey, ambivalent, gabriel ananda, seth troxler, dominik eulberg, skoozbot and many more to his supporters. toms first heimatmelodie-ep was sold out after 3 days so its about time for more insane minimalism! the ep is opened by >sweet lady luck smiles<, a deep and dark sub-bass-mover featuring one of the filthiest synths you ever heard. quite contrary is >pun intended<, a quirky and uplifting party-mover destined to cause major damage on your primetime-dancefloor. the b-side offers 2 deeper tracks, the original of >visually hungry< is a hypnotic and slowly building groove-track, while arnaud le texier delivers a truly mental and dark technointerpretation. toms trademark outstanding sound quality shines through on all the tracks and finally turns this package into a musthave. all tracks written and produced by tom van der kelen

this release withholds two remixes of a very well known dutch >gabber< tune. on the a side theres a high tempo smashing version, on the flip side the tempo is decreased, however the power is still there to say the least... check this out and go back to the good old days!

the west flanders connections, the label owned byfred hush is up for its 3rd release, presenting partner noseda. the first track is called >x-or track< and presents kind of a music storm coming up where old school housey techno impresses with percussion layers. a fat bass bounces towards a very uplifting peak-time break. better get ready for its massive sound! the track was already compiled for a >10 days off< promo cd sampler. after huge response they decided to press the track on vinyl. flipside has >click clack<, a very deep electronic music dj–tool track, beginning in silence but the further you go the more party you get.

excellent hypnotic & groovy minimal techno at it best !!

king unique are one of the most influential dance production/dj outfits of the past 10 years, and?now the legends that are matthew roberts & matt thomas are back with a killer new single >yohkoh<. a melodic tech/prog/house (or whatever its called these days) gurn- fest of epic proportions, >yohkoh< is kus first single since their year off from the studio – a year that saw them tour their >electric< mix album across the globe, a journey that found matthew roberts marooned in a mud soaked brazilian rainforest and matt thomas cornered by tasmanian devils on a beach at midnight amongst many other (mis)adventures.

finest sampler to rock the primetime with tracks from popof, axwell and nicolette (tocadisco rmx)

the original mix of tape replay is nearly nine minutes long and can only be described as a journey. its the perfect transition track, able to turn minimal sets into future disco, a house set into electro-funk, a techno set into a live jam-a-thon or a rigid set of any kind (like too many these days) into something with emotional depth. for remix duties we have enlisted our favorite producers will saul & tam cooper from simple records. much like their tech-house revision of phoniques bang, recently released on dessous, here on fresh meat they have put together a subtle yet bassy response to the wow & flutter original. the track builds and builds and at about three fourths through it explodes with lush keys, rich pads and a breakdown thats executed perfectly. these gents are on point and we are more than excited to have them along for the trip.

marbert rocel are composts latest signing. hailing from thuringia, germany, the are combining deep minimal house, electronica and jazz and with a great sense for pop music. you got to be patient when crossing marbert rocels path late at night or listening to one of their tracks because you will start thumping with your eyelashes until you see your whole body turning into a non stop wet wet wriggling - waterfall esque armpits inclusive!

with that old speed garage alarm and strings that will make you think of the rough early days of drum n bass, this smashing remix surely makes for a massive dancefloor hit! cut up, re paste and break it down! new york based japanese producer yellowtail, formally known as hiro awanohara, hits us up with his debut release on the raw fusion label. and what a debut its got all those little finesses we like, raw, dirty, cut and paste beats with deep and sawed up bass lines. but not only that, we also get a fresh rhyme (caribbean style!) by uk based mc juakali to make us get jump up on it! and folks, this is just the flipside?on the a side of the vinyl release we get to go back in time, michael j fox style! its like something taken out of an old dark and dirty garage club in london back in the mid 90?s when yellowtail remixes his own original grunt with this ripgroove like 4/4 production.

joel mull, another representative of the swedish techno community, releases his current vision of what is to happen on the dancefloors. it is different from what his fans know from the early days. with his debut single on cocoon >harmonautic string<, joel mull sends us to a journey through the track which is smoothly airy-fairy and thus perfect to dive into the land of dreams after a wild party night. even when speeding up after a short break with the drums dominating – the track remains harmonic and is designed to dance into the sun in the early morning hours. the b-side appears spacy and melancholic, but again, mull is able to layer his music so deep and brillant that the basic mood is still vicious with the track still coming along in a magical and elegant way. >blossom< is exactly the right thing for a cold winter night and reminds of the b-side of beyers cocoon release

get down features the vocal talents of mc zub is set to become the next party anthem. its got all the right ingredients, infectious groove, big bassline, catchy vocals and melody, that will have you singing this in your head for days. the hip house version is a real jackin track with plenty of extra mad synth action to keep it twisted. the minimow mix is a stripped back groover with an intense brooding vibe for the darker moments.

this aesthetic audio release features three abstract visions from three deep dance architects as the second installment of the underground anthems series to be released on the aesthetic audio and sistrum recordings labels. aesthetic audio 003: johan fotmeijers back in the days is a wonderful deep, moody and synth filled electric journey back thru time that is sure paint a vivid picture of the best days of dance gone bye. keith worthys dv8 is a deep and twisted banger that takes you on a deviant trip and celebrates the raw essence of underground music. patrice scotts visions of mantada is a deep and ethereal voyage that takes you to a musical place that is filled with thoughts of free expression on the dancefloor.

lurifax aka peter visti is known for his love of balearic music. peter is now signed to eskimo recordings where his first ep >balearic love< was a favourite with djs such as todd terje, prins thomas and superstar dj tiga. following on from >balearic love<, mindless boogie released peter visti edits of >jolene<, which went on to be a balearic smash throughout the summer of 2007 and got playlisted by rob da bank on bbc radio one. now peter adopts a new guise as lurifax to drop his debut release for spacetalk records. >afro beach< takes the listener back to the glory days of the balearic scene of the late 80s and early 90s driven by a mellow groove and some choice recorder and accordion parts with hints of detroit in the bassline. on the flip, >need someone< is trademark peter visti, a languid mid-80s throbber that takes in a wonderful guitar solo. a worthy third release to follow on from the success of spacetalks first two releases from kaine and future beat alliance

>rhythm< ist nicht pop oder avantgarde handelt aber vom einfachsten grundsatz jeder modernen musik. rhythmus ! genau der wird hier einer komplexen inventur unterzogen

>read my mind< is the first full-on vocal track to actually be released by metro area (they had amassed a small catalog of unreleased vocal tracks since starting the project). featuring the incredible pipes of philip owusu (of ubiquity records owusu & hannibal), >read my mind< is a dynamic boogie romp full of contrast: sweet yet meloncholy, warm yet raw. it hearkens back to the days where songwriting and arrangement still had a place in dance music and we hope youll love it. and for the beat purists, theres an irresistible >rmm special dub< version - perfect for doubles! flipping to the b-side yields >erodyne<- an incredible space-disco epic that rocks time and space, looking forward with angular arpeggiated riffs and futurist moods while anchored by an undeniably d.i.s.c.o. groove. check out metro area 7 and be transported - hot music, built to last!

incl. jay tripwire remix !! debut of stockholm based duo groovenauts alongside veteran charlie king in >brighter days<. together they have fought to maintain the original underground feeling of house music! on remix duty west coast veteran jay tripwire continues in a rich vein of form after releasing his album >gemini soul< on the impressive nordic trax! jay is culled in to provide a tripped out space workout providing us with a deep vocal and dub which makes us reminisce of them old herbi analgoe sounds!

coming up with a mixture of drumfunk elements, dubstep vibes and old school sounds, martsman is the new kid on the block that will prove you wrong if you thought youve heard it all in drum & bass. >kontamin< is a journey back to the good old days when jungle didnt have the obligation for constant climax that is found in most drum & bass tunes today

untitled flow, is an hypnotic, brave and electronically bouncing track full of pride, which answers the question seldom asked these days, what was hip hop actually all about - both musically and regarding its content? “untitled flow, revamped with italy’s own mario pagliari complimenting this remix on sync with a nice edgy and slick bass tone driven beat that marks the impressive return of a voice, a woman, trained journalist, mother, singer and prize-winning poetess.

la musique is a pumped-up party track that is set to scorch dancefloors all over the planet. first appearing as a stand out track on the trail blazing kitsune maison compilation 4, relish recordings label maestro headman wanted to bring riot in belgium to the clubbing masses…and were so glad he did. the track draws you straight in with one of the catchiest hooks of the year and teases you until the beat drops like getting slapped in the face with an 808 state record thrown by justice. upon hearing the track kiss fm and london dj star sinden couldnt help but take a break from his busy schedule to bestow us upon us a killer socca-bass remix that will turn heads upside down and give clubbers a bombastic vibe that will have them up for days. on the flipside relish recordings new artist revlover injected some steroids into the original. harder and stronger the revlover edit blasts riot in belgium to the upper stratospheres of filthy electro

distant musics jon cutler delivers a devastating remix of jovonns losin my mind for the next release on coco soul. jon keeps things deep and heavy whilst sonically reminiscing back to days of cut up acid house vocals and wild pitch string arrangements. losin my mind was the b side to jovonns genre defying neptune released earlier this year on coco soul.

zimmermann alias jens zimmermann aka tyrell corp. aka dj gargamel is constantly changing yet always the same: a damn good producer. from his early days when he whipped up tracks by culture beats and out of the ordinary into dancey frenzy with well-known german producer torsten fenslau, to his drum n bass-fuelled moments of technical innovation, jens has never been one to stand still. constantly reinventing hilmself, he always managed to keep things ticking, making him one of the most sought-after producers in the late eighties and throughout the nineties. now, in 2007, after years of noise research and sound sculpting, he is re-emerging as zimmermann which stands for >new german minimal sound<. after three much-celebrated releases, aptly called zimmermann #1, #2 and #3 on room recordings, which were severely hyped up by germany s house fraternity, and releases and remixes on boxersport, k2,and hifreaks as well as on harthouse mannheim, the future is looking bright for jens

nation is back!! a double a side release by x2 (house not house) and xxart (the moment). its the usual suspects turning the knobs and pushing the faders again... (traxx, j.t.c. dmarc cantu) for some pure raw jacking house music (or jaking as they say). tracks inspired by the music box in chicago... the legendary place where all heads went back in the days. >the moment< is a simple track with an effective bassline and quick vocals... very playfull! >house not house< is a powerfull sci-fi trip with a robust acid bassline and a blasting ms20 and old schoolish keyboard strings. back to the basics.. back to the music that makes you jak. (dont sleep on this one... limited to 500 copies and no digital downloads!)

as hard as it might be to believe, there was a time when the word trance did not mean dutch guys dressed in white wearing oakleys.. it also didn t mean israeli pre-military dragon-stick wielding reefer addicts.. actually, there was a glorious era where trance was a verb rather than a noun.. im talking about when you got in a trance, at lets say for example: the golden eagle in munich in 81, in a white-tiled sauna-motif discotec, grooving to a 17 minute reel-to reel version of knights in white satin on your 2nd bottle of poppers while some guy named >wolfie< takes his modern ballet skills to the >next level<. if that sounds appealing.. and i know it does.. then allow me to introduce you to compuphonic and kolombo.. a throwback to the days of romance-trance of the highest order. deep, sensual (yes, i used the word sensual) electronic grooves so potent that we were forced by a coalition of competitors labels to only release some of them digitally to restrict their awesome power to trip people out. these tracks make other tracks seem like mindless shallow shit. that includes some of turbos other releases.

danny and sa manage to merge techno & minimal sounds into a perfect blend! the result is a minimal, pumping melodic track ready to knock you off you feet. on the b-side a more rave-ish track that reminds of the early days

tango saty is a crazy dancer from klaus schulze. sounds huge on 12 inch and causes a storm of freaky dancing on the more discerning dancefloors with a wonky yet eminently groovy rhythmic structure and synth brass riffs that echo around in your head for days. when the bass drops its smiles all round. b shock r.e.r.b. is a classic piece of doomy yet uplifting cosmic elettro from london town that was a baldelli and loda play. getting increasingly hard to find on the original 12 inch and even if you do, this one is mastered with more weight and clarity

the 6 track ep nothing special opens with ryralio djs deep and funky original version from their studio in kaunas, lithuania. chicago house godfather johnny fiasco, who actually stood at the roots of all of it, added dubbed, driving and acidic musical touch to the release by his remix tonic mix. johnnys productions are sweet as roses, but bite as the hedgerow thorns. from still sunny california, comes the moody sure is special version of the track by om records talent rithma.and finally, you will be able to take a ride through moody baltic lands, with rigas finest bandmasters flight duo (amber muse, r2 records) providing the deep house version of nothing special. it is a subtle touch of chilled grooves and melodic sounds. at the very end ryralio welcomes lithuanian house whiz kid, who made great debut on reelgroove records in the very last days of 2006 and who just finished remix for lenny fontana & byron stingly track i ll give you. please welcome santi touch and his santi special version colored by breaky, funky and electro influences

excellent release by one of the most revolutionary artists for deep house in spain, his name, jesus gonsev from cuidad real. the manchego native rounds out the tenth vinyl release of house cafe music with a definitive american sound from the early 90s. the future of this artist looks bright as he is poised to release more records on soul cafe music from south africa and gotta keep faith records. next to me, the title track of this ep brings memories of the productions of steve bug or gamat 3000 from the dessous glory days, lots of groove with simple elements which make it both mixab le and danceable. so deep, has already garnered the attention of house legends such as larry heard and ame, who have already included this track in their sessions.
