brilliant detroit piano house nuggets - dj john collins edits....features productions from mad mike banks

slamming detroit magic on three tracks !!

nice detroit 4 track ep!! but attention: first track, save the bluebird: sounds are very raw and noise with clicks and clacks ... just listen, snippets are directly from vinyl

absolutely lethal, classic footwork from these three originators — body-rocking, invigorating and startling, hybrid without compromise. the a is route-one dancefloor murder, honed and nasty, vintage chicago and detroit gone clear across the border, the flip is a fiercely dazzling juke vocal collage, bare and hard as nails

next detroit influenced techno - techhouse bomb on thoughtless music incl. huge someone else remix. don not call it a comeback: philadelphia techno legend and 611 records founder nigel richards drops three tracks of abstract late night warehouse music with his debut release on thoughtless. the title track works a chugging low-end and insistent percussion which combine to propel it through a vortex of intergalactic analog textures. taking time out from his busy release schedule for foundsound and little helpers, fellow philadelphian someone else turns in a deeply hypnotic rework that brings reverberant chimes to the foreground atop a bass line that refuses to quit. >deeeep< sees mr. richards exploring further regions of uncharted space by crafting a sleek techno vessel out of thick bass slabs and quicksilver high-hats, pushing forward as all manner of nebula and supernova stream past at light speed. one of the most influential names of east coast techno is back with a vengeance - fasten your space suit for zero-gravity fun...

this is the second release on a series of classical detroit style techno releases from a norwegian bergen based producer skatebård.

stripped obscure detroit deep house, pure essence. re-issue of a nearly forgotten 1997 classic.

new limited vinyl-only release from the trust orbit: scram01 combines cold futurism with a pulp sci-fi mood, cool berlin dub techno flavours with melodramatic detroit strings. side a is a pounding acid trance epic by vienna techno maestro patrick pulsinger (cheap records, r&s, disko b), side b has the slightly more melodic original plus bonus beats. limited to 300 copies.

norm talley tackles techno. yes, you heard that right… in spite of 3 tracks on the original transmissions that fell a little closer to what the heads would expect from a very reliable source, it was that first one that everyone begged for more of. we must agree that those 3 minutes were just a little of a tease, so here is the full 9-minute extended cut of “man on the moon” that all of you asked for, and what a trip it is! certainly funky broken-beat techno is a new look for norm, but it’s pretty obvious in all 9 of the minutes here that this is a man from detroit making the music he knows best. there’s a groove and a touch here that speaks of soul and experience… although you may find this one in the crates of some of the new school techno elite, it’s safe to say they couldn’t have made it the way norm talley did. even if you remember part one you may be surprised where he takes it, but we’re even more pleased to say that “earth 2 moon” beats it at its own game. this one made our necks snap and heads turn the very first time.

veteran uk producer/dj paul macs debut release for art shows his remarkable versatility and meticulous production skills. odd things amount to nothing is very much a modern techno wall-shaker. it’s incessant drones and wails ride upon a wave of relentless beats. the track pauses to catch its breath after a tremendous build before once again going clattering down the rails. the flipside is the track that original caught label-owner and a&r kirk degiorgios ear - a modern take on the classic chicago/detroit hybrid sound of the late-eighties, brought up-to-date with a crisp sound

after making his way on institubes, surkin completed his first album which comes out on marble,among theses sixteen tracks, vocals featuring from ann saunderson (detroit),kevin irving (chicago) and two collaborations with his teammate bobmo (both together known under the name of high powered boys).an album that explores all facets of dance music!

2 track collectors item as orange coloured 7inch taken from andy vazs >straight vacationing< album (yore), containing songs >just another round< and >detroit in me< (orlando b. remix). disco house madness screaming dancefloor all the way. limited to 150 copies on transparent orange vinyl.

ryan elliott has long been our not-so-secret weapon, lending his curatorial mastery to the massive spectral sound vol. 3 compilation, megamixingspectral 25, and of course by representing on turntables the world over. but after a mere handful of remix credits, he charges out of the gates with his first spectral production, kicking up. deep bass and snares hurtle ever forward, assisted by occasional, faint sonic flourishes and a bevy of throwback vocal loops, but is otherwise devoid of sustained melody. if nothing impedes the supercharged, supersexual, super-detroit momentum of kicking up, the stablo no. remix dials back the tech and pushes its house to the fore. shakers, claps, echo and a whole lot of lateral motion imbues elliott s take-no-prisoners original with a surprising conviviality.

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everything that sounds fine to their ears! for our 25th release, we are back again with simoncino for the warrior dance iii, this brand new ep will feature on a side the wonderfull >warriors dance< (chicagos jackin heaven is not so far we guess), >tropical vibe< that has got this kind of disco feeling without sounding (thx god) nu-disco & to end >hey detroit< that speaks for itself. on the b side, we have the very big honor to get 2 extraordinary remixes, one from the legendary ron trent (more than 10 min long!) & another atmospheric & deep as hell one from chez damiers morning after mix part ii. this is the kind of release that will remind you what house music is all about. useless to say that simoncino is on top right now & is writing some future & cult club classics. a must to have in every djs collection

terpsiton are proud to welcome to the gang the new faces of the scene and old friends of the label called themselves the scene. this strongly and catchy headline is wisely chosen and named after the legendary detroit based tv-show that turned usual men into celebrities over night. it absurdly and hilariously demonstrates how to get a name and how to get fame just by being marked as a celebrity. so, these well talented guys that are totally into the deep and underground house stuff vault themselves into the scene by releasing this ass-kicking and groundbreaking record that is full of catchy and lovely hook lines, forcing kick drums, intense arrangements and a true passion for the house movement as it was back in the days. on two songs (feist movement & lab) the scene is supported by two other new gang members soon to be well known namely as niki and franz b. werner who add their feel and taste of sounds. a unique blend of individuals, great sounds and real emotions that will make history. never mind the celebrities - here comes the scene!

müller records, the berlin-based label, has a long and proud tradition of high-quality releases. it also has a strong track record in sniffing out up-and-coming talent - acts like berliner falk romstedt, alias hawkinson. his eps and remixes - check his former eps and remixes on muller records- hadalreadyshownthathewasequallyathome creating techno with a driving groove as he was knocking out strong and detailed synth melodies. now his first lp is being released on müller records. klaf , put succinctly, is an album that picks up the style of hawkinson s previous singles and runs with it. (or: that expands on the style of hawkinson s previous singles.) it s a story written by the dance floor, for the dance floor. hawkinson is processing the experiences and emotions he s had over the past few years both as consumer and dj and really shows us where his roots lie - in techno! the influence of detroit is all over this record and can be heard straight away, with strings, melodies and soulful surfaces drawing you in immediately.

just brilliant groovin deep house , flip with dj rolando (underground resistance, jaguar), a fantastic detroit lovers track

next detroit - chicago bomb by echonomist. incl huge john dimas remix. like an aficionado of acid house echonomist returns with a stormer on third wave. this time his hyped chord progressions resolve into a groove that is more or less a reminiscence of the hacienda days. dans mon salon sings in black shades >i feel for you<, >to lock with a groove that i crave for<. a praise to jack, a praise to the way of jack. ultimately, >jack had a groove. and from this groove came the grooves of all grooves<… john dimas goes deeper underground with a simple primitive like pulsating groove. the insistent bass line tone (that slowly unravels an opening filter) clearly connects to old skool techniques of acid house masters.

marcel fengler remix a truly pumping techno monster that stands on the shoulders of detroit giants. run of 300 copies, pressed on white vinyl.

two dogs in a house is steve summers and ron morelli (l.i.e.s) meanest project to date. rising from the delay saturated muck, pushing the red, straight forward and to the point with no time to waste, these brooklyn dogs started with a simple modus operandi as to make effective, psychedelic tracks that they would want to hear on a proper club system. and you do want to hear dogs anthem in a proper soundsystem. a fat one. rather than a decent follow up to their l.i.e.s. ep, this 12? is an statement by itself, sounding more experimental and raw ?if that?s possible than its predecessor. it evokes chicago, detroit, and industrial records equally, but do not get mixed up: this is a weapon designed to tear dancefloors apart! limited copies , hand numbered.

after few months of research the rks duo is now ready for a new sound experience.
back in the day is the way and the house funky producers based in berlin are trying to do it compromiseless. >sunny moments< is a complete deep house raw track, the sweet voice that comes from the past works in a loveliness drum machine game with a synth that runs like the detroit school teaches!
>the dancer from san francisco< is a short funk gem that hits the brain and makes you move your feets, the samples play well, like the rks production wants!
>there was summer< is a detroit minded track, the pad play into an hypnotic synth game, a flight into space, a complete hi-tech experience.

>and i heard a strange deep sound. as i got closer to that particular place, the music took a more stable form…i thought i already knew this sound from somewhere<… welcome to the musical world of exciting new amsterdam based producer simon weiss. coming over all early theo and moodymann-esqe, he clearly demonstrates a passion for all things detroit in terms of mood, melody, rhythm and texture. half bouncing feet, sweaty walls and concrete floors, half sophisticated, futuristic movie soundtrack score …simon weiss fits the description of a home taper absolutely perfectly. dance to it, close your eyes to it, but whatever you do listen to it. 100% house music with bits. play it all night long!!

beretta grey is proud to present the newest ep from toronto native arthur oskan. keeping with the same quality music crowds and djs have come to expect from beretta grey, arthur presents a strong and hypnotic release in which the true essence of his home town and love for detroit can be heard and felt in his music. arthur takes us on a dark and mysterious journey, channeling the emotions of deep dance floors across the globe and back. appropriately titled: >wants & needs<, this ep is a slice of classic techno constructed with a modern touch. rounding out this marvelous package on remix duty is the beretta fox himself, luke hess (deeplabs/fxhe/beretta). bringing that old school detroit warehouse vibe, luke hess serves up a deeper shade of arthurs original. perfect for a gig a in a dingy warehouse basement or your headphones, these sublime melodies are crying out for only the darkest dance floors.

killer deep detroit (rick wade sounding) house tune...very nice!

83370 is the first transmission from ollie viero and nico serrus, a pair of french brothers who grew up in a beach town along the coast of the french provence, saint-ayg, which has since become the basis for their name: sinteg. now based in montreal, their collective output has made up the bulk of fur trade recordings signature sound - this sixth label offering is the third to feature one of the two brothers at the helm. they are fresh and prolific and, as such, they are the sound of a new generation of montreal producers. vieros version of house music is upbeat, fiercely layered with percussive latinized shuffles and necksnapping samples. meanwhile, brother mindbend is one of the labels co-founders and has been designing its style and directions since the beginning. together, sinteg is a breeding ground of propulsive dance music punctured with tiny shards of detroit funk and chicago soul, but with the brittle dryness of techno substituting in for the deepness of house.
comes on transparent dark green / smokey marbled vinyl.

4 tracks of deep soulful house/techno.. more excellence, slightly harder/more jacking than previous outings but still covers a broad remit of house/techno over 4 tracks. darling farah returns with his second ep of 2011. entitled >division<, the detroit-born producer offers four tracks that journey further into deep house, techno and machine-soul. the ep grabs you from the offset, while dream-like qualities wash over the listener they contrast perfectly with an offbeat, energetic 4/4 backbone. division will undoubtedly solidify the hype around its precociously talented 19 year old producer and add more critical acclaim to that already received from his previous releases, >berline< and >exxy<.

morgan geists project storm queen marks a return to his roots with an analog approach towards modern house music with a disco pedigree. >it goes on< features the vocal talents of damon c. scott and is the perfect follow up to storm queens debut of 2010, >look right through<. an underground hit featured in countless radio and club dj sets and charts, >look right through< was licensed by defected records and will be released in a remix package later this year. storm queen physical releases will be limited-edition 12 inches only. storm queen is made for djs, but doesnt sacrifice atmosphere and songwriting. storm queen owes a debt to classic house music from new york, chicago and detroit, as well as disco and boogie. storm queen is a leap of faith.

for its second release label head jrico joins forces with djf, who has recorded for spanish labels such as titans halo and his own tesla imprint. jrico is closely involved with the hip cool downbeat label, recording the recently released downbeat 05, and downbeat 03 that was remixed by mike huckaby. deep analogue house music with its roots steeped in the traditions of detroit and chicago. the labels sales notes prefer to describe the instruments used in the production.
early support from keith worthy, mike huckaby, ksoul, brawther, damon lamar, chris gray and specter.

orlando b serves very delicious detroit rooted deep house . incl kez ym remix (yore records) / back 2 basics on the flipside is a stunning 70s inspired disco monster

this time its xdb delivering the goodies for dolly, as always pushing the boundaries between house and deep techno. with this 4 excellent cuts xdb is taking the label in even deeper territories. even though they are very well playable and will easily rock the floor, taking it up to somewhere between jupiter & mars, xdbs tracks are more than just proper dj-tools. so well-crafted, deep, harsh and hypnotising, but always firmly keeping floor contact with minimal yet funky drum programming, exactly as this kind of music should be. to top things of, brooks mosher on remix duties delivers a detroit inspired remix of sunda. big!

abraham cowley is in fact the name for a new house project from simon brown, better known as the dexorcist, plunging deep into a dark, synth and bass-driven retro detroit influenced house vibe.

audiojack return to 2020 after a year or so setting up their imprint gruuv. the new single >get serious< shows the duo not only mature as artists but also develop and hone their sound to new house themed productions. the title track is state of the art bounce in a box with a killer vocal hook, >let the rhythm take you<, meandering around sweet insistent stabs. its been smashing terraces, rooftops and discotheques all summer and now its finally available for our select dj friends to carry on the vibes through autumn. >polka dot dress< comes spotted with a sound originally created on the classic korg m1 synth and used by mk to devastating effect in the 90s. audiojack have then sprinkled their magic dust on it and added sweeping detroit techno strings, tight drums and healthy amounts of bottom end rumble. as we look forward it is important to know your roots and audiojack show they know their house history by covering the all time classic by the backroom - definition of a track. no samples at all were used and the guys worked out and replayed all the synth parts before adding new vocals from kevin knapp. by beefing up the original we hope a new generation of djs and clubbers bust out this amazing track. it deserves to be heard again and is produced and primed for todays dancefloors.

ultra limited 200 copies vinyl edition !!

new comer john jastszebski delivers here one of his most detroit influenced release. so it is naturally that mister >big daddy< rick wade takes place to this project

heralding the birth of the first leleka is a limited edition, hand stamped, two-tone vinyl release from the labels owner vakula from konotop, whos name is widespread due to the success of releases on firecracker, and recently shevchenko (white labels with prints of ukrainian literary celebrities such as gogol, lesya ukrainka & shevchenko himself). these are an ideally captured ukrainian landscape of change, struggle, nature and art slightly embellished by industrial design of the 50s. and this is what the leleka label is all about, its musical concept reflects vakulas love of folk and live music, where passions and melodies play leading roles. this debut release contains six vintage tracks from vakula, almost serving as a prologue to his recent epic output. the meeting of imported soul, exploitation movies and detroit techno, with ukrainian folk melodies and soviet electronics, offers a glimpse into vakulas way of working, and gives us a taste of things to come

four bombs in birmingham key nods to detroit techno to hard, industrial, sharp and blunt with abrasive groove basslines like cathedrals and yard beats with hypnotic electronic sequences and mental development are not faint of heart. reaktor records does not fail and will make this album essential in your set.

5 years of systematic box (5x12 inch) + luna remixed (6x12) as a special bundle package

nice price deal !!! three international artists offer brand new visions of guillaminos left in the wild, originally part of the whip gymnastix ep. montreals jacques greene from the luckyme crew has just re-drawn radioheads lotus flower. now he turns guillaminos left in the wild into a refined, sideral analogue sounding slow acid jam. icans esteban adame, linked to underground resistance, galaxy 2 galaxy, and to carl craigs planet e label, translates left in the wild into avid tech-house. certification mark: detroit to los angeles. and finally, from guadalajara, mexico, pepepe is the leader of los amparito and former classmate of guillamino at red bull music academy.

kez ym brings 4 excellent detroit-style house tracks... sure fire tip! for its 10th 12 inch release, faces records goes back to its first love: real house music!
4 tracks ep from our man in japan: kazuki yamaguchi aka kez ym. yamaha electronic school graduate and the first japanese participant at rbma, kezs reputation as a dj & producer with his unique style and skills grows and grows. his music, that can be classed as detroit house beat-down, has been supported and playlisted over the years by moodymann, theo parrish, rick wade, cassie & many more.

for this first release, we give you the opportunity to grab 4 fantastic trax done by legendary detroit producer : jason grove. born in detroit, he started his career in the late 80s, dj-ing in underground parties when the techno house movement was just at the beginning. he was invited few times on detroit local stations such as wdrq & wjlb to play. some said he was at that time very close to the >wizard<, helping producing their first tracks with anthony srock as final cut. he had many opportunities during the 90s to release some of his work on various prestigious labels, however, as the guy is really hardcore & straight edge, he prefered to continue producing only with analog gears (dont ever speak to him about a computer or hell get mad !) & record his work on cassette only, selling it to indie stores & giving it to friends for some special events (birthday, graduation ect ... !). we heard this story long times ago & it was only when we were in l.a. last year at pooh-bah record shop that we finally managed to get our hands on one of those tapes (one from june 1991 & the other one done in october 1992) with some of the best & incredible music we ve heard in years, it sounded like kerri chandler before kerri chandler did even start to release any tracks ! those first tapes are finally available after a hiatus of more than 15 years on vynil only (!)

following their remix of ludwig coenen for tlm022 and a string of celebrated releases for nachtstrom schallplatten and perc trax, toronto s frederik hatsav and jamie kidd rejoin the thoughtless fold under their metalogic guise. enlisting new york techno veteran dietrich schoenemann on the title track, the trio delivers a sleek combo of pure analog bass and metallic percussion, resulting in an unrelenting yet stripped-down futuristic club workout. overseeing remix duties is techno legend bryan zentz. his first of two solutions, the empty vessel dub dives deep into late-night territory, employing the irresistible bass line of the original and embellishing it with sparse synth work and echoing atmospheres to stunning effect. as a digital bonus, zentz offers up the kenosis shuffle mix, providing added bounce with a boosted low-end while taking a house-leaning approach in the drum department and adding detroit-style stabs for good measure. on the flip, dark shines is a heady ride, intoxicant atmospheres and dynamic yet subtle arrangements solving as a mystical techno prime. whether exploring the outer reaches of modern techno or twisting up their uniquely abstract take on tech-house, the result is pure quality..

in recent times it has been fashionable for european producers to try and recreate the classic sounds of detroit. the true vibe and feel can surely only come from the city itself? as his name suggests, whilst we know very little about anonym, we do know that he hails from the legendary motor city, and the true essence of his home town can be heard and felt in his music. classic sounds constructed with a modern touch. gritty, raw and crying out for sweaty basements. in 2011 anonym has finally arrived on vakant and is set to release his first record on the label. his > flivvers vol.1 ep< will be followed by vol.2 later this year.

fresh from his triumphant return to detroits movement festival, where by all accounts he delivered the set of the weekend, claude young teams up with his different world co-hort takasi nakajima for their debut release on art. the original is no-nonsense but thoughtful future-tech, with plenty of analog modulations for the heads - and dance-floor thump for the party people. on the flip, the legendary ian o brien delivers a typically deep, detroit tinged remix with trademark warm bass and glistening top lines. ian planned to do one more mix-down of his remix when the huge earthquake earlier this year pretty much demolished his tokyo-based studio.

while the first release on wania, busen & paleos >stream of love< (featuring dj sotofetts anthemic overdub-12inchedit) was a rather leftfield affair, dritfett is aimed more directly towards the dancefloor. the label artwork gives a clear clue as to what this release is all about: amongst a number of cryptic messages and shout-outs in norwegian - a tr-909 logo. all the tracks here are based around the 909 - thunderous kickdrums and sharp, hissing hi-hats that cut through the mix. still, theres a broad range of sounds, from head-down, fists-clenched warehouse workouts with an industrial edge, to more melodic tracks with detroit references aplenty. make no mistake though: this is all about the power of the almighty 909. theres no fancy tricks here‚ no ableton-trickery or polished waveforms, just good honest techno with a real raw live feel. this gives the tracks the energy and spontaneity that is sorely missed in many of todays productions. the kind of energy you will find - in abundance - in the house and techno releases of the 90s. the kind of energy that can only be achieved by pressing play on a machine, frenetically twisting knobs and punching buttons while letting the energy of the room decide where to go next.

the lab, nrks mix series devoted to the worlds most cutting edge djs and forward thinking sounds, returns this autumn with an instalment compiled and mixed by undoubtedly one of the scenes most talented, charasmatic and brightest stars.
hailing from the suburbs of detroit, seth troxler has made an incredible journey over the last few years, from the local dj spots at detroits the works club and behind the counter service at the famous melodies & memories record store, to the most top drawer nights and clubs across the world, such as fabric, panorama bar, dc10, the rex et al.
this 4 track sampler features the always talented andrew weatherall on the remix of radioactive mans germanic new-beat style >fed ex to munchen<, the minimal ambience of arks >arkquarium<, crosstown rebels/wolf & lamb artist deniz kurtel on the remix of chaim, and the truly magnificent cowboys & indians inspired minimal house of unds >rodeo<.

heavily steeped in classic detroit influences, but fused perfectly with contemporary urban and disco tinges that melt into a single and unique sound...the mysterious klic announces his arrival on the house scene with a highly impressive debut on home taping.
>disco music< borrows from here, there and everywhere as it glides, hisses and nods its way on a heavy groove-based journey through sound. on the flip >bump< grinds, wobbles and teases every ounce of rhythm it can then pumps it out through its deep grooves as it longs to be free.
100% house music with bits. play it all night long!
