uks ben wijay starts canute music, a sub-label of phreakin recordings displaying his more adventurous techno and tougher house music concoctions. bringing a slightly harder feel than the phreakin output, but remaining left of centre with quirky melodies groovy percussion. >poisoned potato< starts in dark techno waters with a deep acid bass line, then blossoms into almost border community territory with anthemic distorted chords and quirky breakdowns.>feke< delves deeper with an arrangement that goes from hauntingly minimal into an aggressive staccato riff, then morphing back into itself with deeper melodies. definitely aimed at the 3am dance-floor and will appeal to lovers of the detroit techno sound through to the more obscure villalobos territory. gathering big support from the likes of charles webster, john aquaviva, aldrin and mixmags >house single of the month< (feb 08)

deep, deeper, peter grummich! this man is on a roll right now, and with every new release you have to ask yourself where this is all going to lead to? however with the >garden ep< he now already delivers the perfect soundtrack for weeding the beds and waterblasting the terrace - and for partying hard, of course. >beachtrak< prefers its quintessential sub-harmonics to just playing it safe with an upfront bassdrum, and finally channels its way in a wide arc up to the next level. a hit also for friends of water gardens. on the b-side grummich enlarges his melodic skills with a sweet flowery scent of detroit on the track >garden<, and >its to share<, which evolves into a great anthem with just an assumed number of 3 sounds and a couple of snotty claps

the title track made a brief appearance last year, garnering spins from the likes of fergie on radio 1. its now primed for full release, retaining its cool stuttering bleeped out hook atop a strident bassline thats designed to make sure no one can physically stand still, whether they want to or not. its also catchy as fuck. mike healey drops a cleaner remix that techs it out some, the first third or so of the track just twitters, phased sounds and hints at whats to come. its 1.00am central trip material until that bass finally implodes. are we alone? is a deeper closing cut, with suitably zoned out vocal samples and more electro tech shenanigans, making for a near essential ep for those who like it dark and trippy.

on the previous release of dualblock taras van de voorde, estroe and thomas lauren all dropped great tracks. on this release the same three dutch producers are represented. thomas lauren on the a-side comes forward with >fairwinds gossip<. a quality track that is great for warming up any crowd. on the flip side estroe takes us a little deeper into the night with >beatbox contest<. a techno based track with a nice drive, making clear estroe is influenced by the detroit sound

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

at the forefront of the new wave of german techno, p.toile and her co-producer alexander krueger (aka tigerskin, aka dub taylor) have created a jittery, bubbly bomb without a piano in sight. propelled by chopped up vocals and rolling snares, >piano piano< conjures up images of an 18-wheeler chugging down a lonely highway on a rainy night, receiving fractured instructions over a faulty cb radio. midway through the track, ethereal pads pierce through the darkness. the rain stops, the clouds part, and the melodic percussion hammers back in. sven tasnádi has dominated cargo editions recent release schedule with his own unique productions as well as collaborations with daniel stefanik, so we are understandably excited about his first contribution to mothership. svens >adventsfrequenz rimüxx< pulls us even deeper, exploring >piano pianos< main chords from a percolating underwater world. a steadily building groove unfurls majestically on the ocean floor, punctuated by rolling congas and sudden crashes, as if a hurricane raged on the waters surface

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything.

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. born in liverpool, his love for the music was passed on to him by his father, a record collector and former dj, who introduced him to crate-digging at the early age of eight. his roots stem from black music. hip-hop will become his musical bases before he discovers the acid-house explosion at the mythical hacienda in manchester. he naturally starts mixing in the late 80s/early 90s, playing a mixture of rare groove, deep-jazz, deep house, etc. he then turns to production and is noticed by gilb-rs fine-tuned ears who signs him on the spot. releases on labels like wavetec and mule musiq are planned further in the year. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything

with his now second release on mauritius, marc vision might still be a newbie to the label, but definitely not to the scene. apart from being an experienced dj since ages with a deep bond to germanys superclub >tribehouse<, he can look back on diverse releases as vision & canedy (on scuba, avalanche, plusquam & hadshot rec.), vita (together with trance pioneer taucher on labels such as tracid traxx & on a mission), visiontool (together with marc o tool on andry nalins label superfly rec.) and finally as marc vision himself (on mauritius, poison, underworld & earregular rec.). >obsession< leaves no doubt being a sure floor filler. subtly but effective the track begins with a deep bassline and develops into a kooky rave-house-monster. >the finest< on the flipside tackles things deeper and more atmospheric, but when a bulky bassline suddenly says hello half way of the track, the unmistakable command is hands up!
