ross caiden is a new name on the scene already racking up some cracking releases. after giving us a remix of ryders >thirty five days< back in december, we now have an original ep from him.
>gunz in the hood< is a hat filled, heads down, groover. lewis ryder tweaks things with an indulgence of analogue synth work, keeping the peak time rawness.
>new york city gritty< sure does have the hustle & bustle of a large city. large room techno. with this, tom eales completely changes the sound, making a very warm & drifty mix.

you know a producer has got something when the first note of the first track you hear makes you sit up and take notice. so it is with 19-year-old east londoner joss ryan: the instant the jabbing orchestral motif at the beginning of >melancholy dreams< – the title track of his debut ep – kicks in, it hits your emotional centres hard and lodges in your memory. as statements of intent go, its a pretty tasty one, and tells you that this is a talent who can stand out and make an impact way beyond the ins and outs of the micro-genres and endlessly reconfiguring trends of underground music.to put it simply: joss is a grime kid who expanded his horizons. his popular mix of his own material for mary anne hobbss radio show last december already shows that the three tracks on this ep are by no means a fluke, and there is a whole lot more to come besides…

ferdinando apicella aka kernel key adds to his extensive discography with pass it on backed with a remix by sebastian leger the release will drop on italian imprint loose records this december. a sound engineer by trade, apicellas work as kernel key is inspired by detroit techno but sounds entirely his own man. having released his first release on mkt rec, a close affiliate of loose, last year his productions are solidly growing in stature.pass it on not only marks kernel keys debut for loose but also the first remix for the imprint from the irrepressible sebastien leger, whose version of pass it on opens the ep.frenetic, swinging and massively infections, legers version is pure dancefloor mayhem and sees the revered producer inject fun and funk into the original.kernel kes original pass it on is relentless groove with short melodic loops and nagging bass doing all the required work while bizarre filtered keys cut through the tracks nicely judged breakdown for maximum build.lady red rounds off the ep with yet another squarely aimed dancefloor cut. as tight and urgent as pass it on but with slightly detuned stabs and a freakier feel, its a peak time animal of a tune.

christian smiths tronic label enjoyed a fantastic year in 2011, persistently receiving plaudits from the media, scene tastemakers and the record buying public for the labels consistently first-rate output that consisted of a genre-blurring mixture of tech house and progressive flavoured techno floor-smashing grooves. since meeting in berlin during summer of 2011, christian smith and florian meindl have stuck up a productive studio partnership. having released their first collaboration - desire - via meindls flash imprint in december, this subsequent ep for tronic sees the duo take their corporation a stage further with a two tracks of slightly left of centre yet unashamedly peak-time tech house. mothership leads off the ep with a distinctive retro-electro bassline that builds into the main hook via a series of peaks and drops before taking off into a tweaked crescendo of high-pitched tones. red alert opts for a subtler approach, creating its simple but effective groove from jacking percussion and wobbly synth stabs, which pulse throughout, morphing to distorting and echoing in the break.

after a break for over a year pattern repeat is back again with another two tracks on their own label. both kenneth & resoe has been really busy last year, so it has been difficult to meet up in the studio. but now they had the time to finish two tracks of deep dirty techno from the capitol of denmark copenhagen. again they set it of with raw dirty dub infected grooves and the a side starts up right away with the dub elements intact, and then keeps building through the rest of the track. after the short break a hypnotic atmosphere kicks off in best pattern repeat style. the b side starts slowly with an almost alfred hitchcock kind of atmosphere, with a dull kick underneath. the track keeps gettin more dirty through the 6 min. and 15 secs. it last, with more distortion added to the dub stabs. its a good way that kenneth & resoe returns since the last 12 inch they put out in december 2010, to set the stage for 2012.

after the supremely well received first release vommee which featured on sven vaths recent cocoon mix cd,the mysterious dense & pikas next release well could be one of 2012s biggest -buttplug is the lead track (already dj mags killer tune in its recent december issue) - a kinetic powerhouse ride of roughed up beats & bass complete with a jacked up female vocal from an anonymous source. if that wasnt enough, flip side track cartoon heart continues the high octane thrills with a phunked up house number, the duos tight production giving the track an edge over legions of derivative here today, gone tomorrow fillers.

the second release by berlin based knuggles recordings will be coming out in december. it features the previously unreleased original 12inch mix of 7107 music by netto houz. this hybrid of chicago deep house and oldschool electro caused some dancefloor action back in 1998, when it was originally released on ladomat 2000. on the flipside, knuggles recordings presents a new exciting producer: dj nikolaos aka moire patterns spins his track the roots anthems 001 (co-produced by dj kriton) into a modern and spherical growing deep house bomb. enjoy!

the unique partnership is the brainchild of local dance music aficionado dj vidis. he teamed up with top lithuanian producer mario basanov in 2007 to form the most influential local production combo and to deliver what could be the freshest sounding and truly adventurous house music in lithuania and around. vidis and marios first vocal track and video >i ll be gone< featuring young but much promising lithuanian singer and songwriter jazzu became national phenomena on its own right. hitting number one in radio charts, not leaving mtv baltic top 20 for half a year, and becoming the most blogged and youtubed lithuanian music video ever says it all. and the single featuring british songstress kathy diamond as well as vaguely provoking black and white video cemented their reputation as local institution and the purveyors of top quality deep sounds. with duos debut album released december 2010 on their own silence music to big commercial success as well as a few singles being lined-up for early 2011 on top notch international labels like japanese endless flight, australian future classic, german best works, and british crosstwonrebels also remix work commissioned from soul clap, john talabot, andre lodemann, marcus worgull, and softwar the future looks bright and bold.

disco nihilist is a rather special project. firmly rooted in the us-american electronic music traditions, mike taylors records on love what you feel or construction paper roam the grey are between chicagos jack urgency, detroits funky machine soul and the raw magic of vintage drum machines. his style is natural, murky, filthy and raw to the core. the six track ep >running (far away)< for running back is an exercise in grinding beats, squelching acid lines, graceful pianos and heartfelt rhythms without any paralyzing retro romance. it is what it is. get a piece of the real bread

tiger supported by... rob da bank, kiko, markus kavka, mihalis safras, justin berkovi, ivan smagghe, orde meikle... moonbeam are back on traum! the russian brothers had a great year and have been voted as one of the top 100 djs worldwide by uk dj mag, in december 2009. we think they are wonderful, dedicated people who really deserve winning this award. with their new a-side track >tiger< moonbeam show their timeless quality and their deep knowledge of music, writing a seemingly simple but gigantic track. if you want to express in words what this track is like you might say it is a hybrid of joe beltrams >energy flash< fuelled with a melodic note and a lot of post-techno feeling. creating a revival of rave which so many people speak about, but so few actually reflect in theirproductions! the energy of this dark monumental new school acid track is counteracted by the two tracks on the flipside >land of the lost (strict mix)< and >zoo<. the b1-track >land of the lost< sounds like a soundtrack for a film set in a ghost-town in the midwest of the united states. a track that travels like a camera does... through different rooms of a deserted mansion. the b2-track >zoo< is the beat track of the record. it relies on its cool driving sequences and the hypnotic feeling it creates through them. adding small changes here and there that keep the track constantly going.
