this is what happens, the third release on the botanika label, is a story of two cities: tel-aviv, israel, represented on the a side by polar pair, and detroit, usa, represented by both atlantis, with a ferocious spoken word delivery, and mark flash, whose classic detroit soulful techno remix occupies the b side - both of whom hail from the underground resistance collective. the collaboration between polar pair and atlantis, the voice behind urãs classic transitions, came about after a meeting in tel aviv in spring 2007, and now the dubplate is creating serious club-buzz in the underground scenes of both cities, as in the ur related forums.

per martinsen aka mental overdrive shouldnt need any introduction being the granddad of the norwegian electronic music scene and all... hidden away in a little snowcave near the polar circle hes currently preparing the bits that eventually will become his debut album for full pupp.weve heard some bits and though wed like to keep them all under the lid for a little while longer, heres a little sneak peek of what hes done and hopefully preparing you off his unique take on modern dance music taking in elements of new wave, new beat, detroit and dubstep on the way. per unleashed this on us at one of the full pupp nights in oslo and recently we saw how it took the roof off at fabric... for the b-side we paired per up with the equally detroit-loving blackbelt andersen which gives us a hi-speed samba techno work out with a unhealthy deep bass.

adf, aka adriano filippucci which manages to achieve a homogeneous fusion combining the euphoric feeling of techno and the vibrant soul of house. the title track, >perugia< is named after adrianos hometown in the heart of italy. whether it is the warmth of the sun or the mediterranean lust for life, perugia turns out to be a massive track, with its sparking melodies and a real sense of atmosphere and dynamic mischief. perugia gets the remix treatment from two of the directors at the highgrade headquarters. todd bodine sends the track firmly in the direction of detroit and into some new sonic territory. label boss tom clark sets the focus on the tracks technoid energy and simply lets the groove run away on route to its own destination. avanti avanti, amici!!

a-list partner for the a-side >trust<, berlin-relocated seth troxler from detroit, has been delivering countless bangers for crosstown rebels, spectral or wolf + lamb and forged quite a reputation for himself. seth brings freshness and freedom in his work as well as in his relationships with the girls! his edgy voice takes off on some sick rumbling percussions, and pairs up all along the track with mind twisting waves and swirling vibes to impulse a dizzying, thus delighting booty-shaking dance. loyal to the house tenets but frivolous with innovations this is straight out of the top drawer, trust us!no less rewarding, the tiefschwarz brothers hit the >roads< on the b-side. the opening steady beat is gradually driven by hypnotic keynotes to a darker path. break! the drums take the lead again, but still infected by the loop, the track goes on, and compels to an irresistible euphoria. far out! tiefschwarz step up once again with a must-have record, be ready for the next things to come!

dave dk needs no introduction, since his debut moodmusic album “lights and colours” he s been busy travelling the world preaching his trademark electronic deep house sound and remixing florian kruse, tigerskin and seva k for labels baalsaal, global underground and dirt crew among other things. for the new moodmusic release dave packs 2 tracks from the album in new edits as well some major remix biz from ada (areal, irr) and russ gabriel (mobilee, ferox) remixing cinema paraiso was ada s choice, the epic floating, almost balearic feel to it fitted perfectly the fine hand of ada and her perfect production values. starting with a rough 303 bassline, building an intense but deep affair buidling into a hypnotic frenzy of old school acid and modern electronics ! from the feedback from the few selected djs who got their hands on this gem, ada s remix is allready in groove mag top-10 ! the b-side coimbra, a rocking house belter with neat sample editing and the dave dk bassline juggling between the low end and the ultra low sub. russ keeps much of the original intact, deepening the groove with his funk injected beats and some lush detroit influenced chord action like we know and love from him. as a bonus we include the original mix for those vinyl lovers out there !

first release on this new label from germany, featuring four epic tracks by myon, who gained attention with his track on the viewpoints compilation on aw-recordings. stunning detroit-influenced soundscapes and heady drumming are trademarks of heliocentric musicÆs first output!

the seventh release of restoration records is the celebration of the love between men and machines. sykon is true joy and happiness, it s the speech of the synthesizers, it s the passion for hardware samplers and sequencers, it s the addiction to the juicy sound of tape compression. as usual, no computer has been involved in the production of this record.
ôyes, the 4th dimensionö, by eduardo de la calle is a masterpiece of hermetic theories applied to advanced minimal techno. it s mental and involving, deep and solid. hi-tech reduced synthesized sound build up a never ending progression upon the strictness of its low tom layer. mystical energy tthat will kidnap everybody on the dancefloor.
in marieu s ôrootsö, you can hear all the trademarks of the boss of the label. dark, hypnotic and pumping, it developes a bouncing double bass line that breaks the atmosphere with an aggressive 808 kick. acid and funky at the same time, it s simply a time bomb.
on side b, lucretio s ôwhere youö is a superb synthesis of his detroit techno and uk-garage influences. relentless effective old-school drums run with a female vocal sample. soulful chords sing along balistic claps. an evocative string line introduces a touch of blues. a sweet sunset on the groove, a smooth weapon.
last but not least, a touch of class by the analogue cops: ôslowlyö. it s a down beat fusion of jazz and deep house. a monumental bass drum bursts a celestial big band interlude. a sexy 303 acid line, an elegant high-hat, a snappy snare. just few things but on the right place. a delight for your mind and for your body.

long awaited new material from the detroit master andres on moodymanns >other< label. in true mahogani music style they decided to release the second of his two eps before the first. there has been a new andres album rumoured for a while now so we are thinking this is the second half of it. theres eleven tracks in total, with a few skits and interludes bridging the gap between classic detroit house jams and gospel style vocal tracks that kdj himself would be proud of. this one was well worth the wait!!

the long anticipated release from mojoe & marlow on dennis ferrer s objektivity. the original, a strong driving hypnotizing groove with detroit and chicago vibes, is accompanied by a powerful drum tool reworked by ferrer.

this release is a very special one for us… indeed, roskow kretschmann has been for years one of the music makers that surprised us constantly and teased our appetite, displaying his rich musical background inside of projects like jazzanova, kosma or sygaire. the tracks selected by dairmount (after hours hanging out in roskows sound lab over the years) are genuinely outstanding in his entire discography. they sound like no others and reveal rare aspects of his >musical persona<. this is why they are representing perfectly our quest for >hybrid club music< crossing the lines of the original spirit of house & techno. the ep opens with the futuristic techno soul of the time is now. perfectly named, the tune fuses with class, dusty jazz samples, obscure soul vocals, juicy claps and overwhelming detroit techno keys. the result is a timeless club monster for the deepest moments. the second track that blasted us is mono:poly rightly shaped for audacious djs that enjoy to play >special< things. the track is supported by a solid programming as fellow beatmakers like mark pritchard, recloose or kenny dope originated in the 90s, mixed with biting analogue pressure, crazy batucada elements & a magic breakdown for all the lucky ones that will play it in the sunrise this summer. and last but not least, one of the label mavericks, marlow created a hell of a remix by delivering a 10 minutes techno epic that would make our detroit godfather c2 blush of satisfaction. thanks to all of them for the fantastic music

its a hard task to capture the raw emotional elements of deep electronic house & techno - itamar sagi has managed to capture and mold it, on this detroit influenced ep

keezako records is proud to present his third release, machine divine ep, composed by hypnobot. two tracks made for the dancefloor offering a fresh and mind blowing approach of electronic music. hypnobot presents his last two productions. he is active on the underground techno field since 15 years but also in the contemporary classic music arcanes. his productions have a unique taste mixing electro-acoustic approach and techno efficiency. hypnobots music describes the fall of an effete world with violence, melancholy, and an innate dance floor sense!! already supported by dj skurge (underground resistance / detroit) and nomadico

sebastian doring and thorsten freese, more commonly known as quality house duo knee deep, drop the third part of their >love ep< trilogy (following on from >big love< and >french love<) with a masterfully constructed 3 part ep of quality productions entitled >sick love ep<. as always, there is a fantastic diversity on offer throughout the package while always maintaining a high standard and playability factor. from the detroit-influenced >gypsy bucket< complete with its modulating synth chords, cracking percussion section and a seriously infectious male vocal loop, through to the quirky, funky grooves of >the it< and the anthemic piano stabs that form the core of the big room affair entitled >what to do<, the >sick love ep< is another fine addition to the knee deep imprints catalogue and a definite must-have for fans of diverse, contemporary and quality house music!!!

if we ever called it a classic…this is what we meant . after releasing one of the best artist album of the last years on carl craigs planet e label, kenny larkin joins now forces with one of the most influential artists of the recent times shlomi aber, and his acclaimed label be as one imprint. shlomi aber and legendary detroit pioneer kenny larkin are two artists that needs no introduction to the techno crowds. while the first one is recognized as one of the most forward thinking artists of the recent years, the other one is responsible for releasing some of the finest pieces of electronic music ever produced. sketches ep comes with 2 different versions of the same track, both having old school vibes reminiscent of the days when house and techno went hands in hands. kennys version is a superbly produced slice of techno, with an amazing drums progression in a typical larkin style sustaining a hypnotic lead pattern, all conjuring together to take the dancefloor into a 10 minutes long, deep and mind tripping tour. label boss shlomi aber, takes a different approach by putting out a tougher version, a loopy phat bassline and a jazzy rhythm with snare hits makes this tune a funkier techno shuffle a pure classic to come, already supported by basically everyone, from the detroit old school guys to the recent house and techno leaders

weare proud to welcome marc antona as the newest member on the highgrade artist roster. unless youve spent the last few years living under a rock you will most likely already know his name! the french producer has recently put out releases on several hot labels like freak n chic, micro-fibres, sender and mobilee . the opening track, >red faces< instantly proves why marcs sound fits perfectly into the highgrade musical universe: highly energetic and hypnotic, it develops slowly but relentlessly into an irresistible groove. the first track on the flipside >wheel of chance< skillfully picks up this train of thought, throwing some more percussion into the mix, which next to some bleeping synth lines will guarantee effortless intoxication on the dancefloor. hustle< on the b2 grooves on relentlessly as well - with some slick seeded reverse claps and detroit inspired synth stabs. our hats are definitely off to this release, and we look forward to many more from mr. antona!

for sistrums 10th release, patrice scott steps up to offer another collection of timeless sounds for sophisticated dancefloors worldwide. the excursions ep sees the further extension of the sistrum sound, as patrice continues to represent the modern soul of detroit with raw grooves, understated textures and sublime melodies

credited with some of the biggest tunes and remixes of our time, mr g returns to the detroit based moods & grooves label. while best known as a techno producer, mr gs relationship with m&g allows him to show his diverse musical tastes and offer something for the house and techno dj. one for the head û low slung reminiscent of a 12 minute theo parrish production with a extended buildup and teasers throughout. one for body û activator a nice blend of techno and twisted funk

in terms of taste, amenity and flair they are not to be passed up.a little bit of minimal and deep house is based on traditional techno-house, detroit, with a bass line plunging even deeper with its dense and thermal sound.

new artists on bombay, chicagos j & j soultempo come with a strong gospel influenced late night slammer for the dance floor. featuring vocals from the renowned terry moore combined with the soulful chicago acid house production of j & j soultempo, this release has a real early nineties murk style deep house sound with modern production. jason ferguson jaycee and jere mcalllister are emerging from a strong community of the new generation of producers and musicians based in chicago that will be turning heads in this genre. some kinda good agrees with the new york vibey heads as well as the chicago and detroit kids with powerful vocals and lyrics jelled with an infectious dirty groove and smooth pads, pure classic house.

the best comes last, that is also our opinion and we are proud to present 2 amazing tracks before we take a little summer break. again with a new artist on our ostwind sailer. the young bulgarian ataneus gives his debut on the a side. with >20 years of democracy< he shows us a lyrical, energetic and detroit flavoured track which builds on and on and will definitely rock the floors. an excellent debut how we think and we look forward to his forthcoming tracks. on the flip cosmic cowboys give their vinyl debut on ostwind, too. here on fofftein they come with the anthem >deep is a message<. shallow depth, fluffy, with massive compression of course, and as the name implies rounded down with deepness, this track is a really nice mover for the open air season. we appreciate these artists for this great release and we think to them when we enjoy this sound over the big pas at the open airs

great dubby and spacin detroit trax

lotd remains steadfast in its endeavours to offer the best in left field electronic dance music with these 2 tracks from tony lionni. golden is an eight and a half minute journey beginning with stripped down detroit ish synths and ending in more lush, piano & percussion driven territory, with vocal samples being laid overtop the entire ride. epic stuff. the warrior is a deep, late night affair with shades of chicago jack & echoes of basic channel dubness. both of these tracks display tonys depth of musical knowledge while having there sights set firmly in the now & beyond.

two steamy hot floor killers by delsins quince, already praised & played by ellen alien, laurent garnier, dj gregory, kenny larkin, osunlade, dj deep, joris voorn, a.o. back with a vengeance. utrecht based producer quince is ready to burn the floors and delivers these two killers. he teamed up with paris the black fu (from detroit grand pubas) for the vocal house track >my lifes rhythm<. pure dancefloor pleasure, in a tight style towards dj pierre/ phuture. >electric< on the other side of the platter makes people cheering once more when going on the spooky and minimal tip. two times dope

sons of the dragon debuted last year on a mysterious white vinyl double out of detroit, they awake again to bring us >the journey of qui niu< and cast their firey wrath. the cv313 rework plays off the original version but adds a low end throb so deep it could shake the heavens, a rhythmic shuffle which begs you to move and a hypnotizing symphony of lo fi sonic destruction, its totally menacing. the new sqx project debuts with a killer, taking a different approach to the original, they use the synthesized textures as warm sonic fragments. its as if they were building a sonic puzzle but changing all the pieces around while assembling, leaving us with a rhythmic synth workout of the highest order, for your mind or the floor. a destined to be classic, do not miss

excellent melodic deep and detroit inspired techno !!!
