subwave returns to metalheadz for a musical outing that will certainly have a few scratching there heads in wonderment, this is not the usual output we hear from headz but it sits just perfectly with releases like commix remix album >recall to mind<. >naked lunch< takes us on a journey into deep house electronics, lush strings and slick programming all the way this is fit for any dance-floor. on the flip >raindance< takes us into dubstep territory – if you are a fan of nonplus and disfigured dubz then this is most certainly for you, its warm, moody (in a good way) and beautifully crafted, there is even a hint of old school detroit in this one ...
the whole package is and is of the highest quality, we expect big support from the deephouse, techno and forward thinking dubstep djs for this, long may subwave continue this journey into music from future!

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

its an album, its deep, its acid, its fragile, its party, its lonely, its all together, its music itself, its special, its rvds with his >moments<. after the ep >waiting, kiss and love< comes the album now. inspired by classic deep and acid house. good to listen to these old instruments: tr-808, roland jp-6, wurlitzer e-piano and some other specials combined with new accents, but always a love to detroit music.

early support by session victim, motorcitysoul, darve clarke, dj sneak, john tejada, mr. g, catz n dogz, deetron, joris voorn, luca doobie, secret cinema, patlac, laurent garnier, roberto rodriguez, aki bergen, haito and more.
scope is back now with his first vinyl on night drive music. with a jacking mixup between chicago and detroit influenced house music he is directly aiming for the dancing legs.

if it is about contemporary house music, there is no way of avoiding the northern djs & producers. first and foremost with roberto rodriguez aka manolo, who has shaped his personal funk infected old-school vibe over the last years and helped the house revive without forgetting from where it came from. his future beat investigators strictly followed the detroit heritage and his acid kings membership gave us lust for the roland tb 303 again. the bermuda project came back to cosmic again and had more than an impact on the nu disco styles. it is his pertinent mix of soulful, funky & functional dancefloor and his his effective productions who convinced the tastemakers worldwide and prepared his ground for top notch releases on labels like compost, 2020vision, freerange or delusions of grandeur and remixes for acts like yoko ono, tigerstripes, jay shepheard, the timewriter, marmion, crazy p, bellringers or vanessa daou. now the time has come for his own platform called serenades, featuring the manolesque ep - for those who like it deep, down & funky!

>corky< is the third ep from brand brauer frick on tartelet records and features a remix from tartelets own james braun. music has always been the defining core of tartelet records. this may seem like an obvious statement, but that was the very reason why it hit us like a ton of bricks when we receivedthe first demo from paul frick and his new band around two years ago you might say that the brandt brauer frick sound touched on a vibration that had been lurking in our musical subconscious. we ll resist the temptation to wax lengthy or lyrical about >corky< instead, we suggest you have a listen and let yourself be seduced by its panoramic echoes and pumping bass drum. hop aboard an odyssey that leads brandt brauer frick through the technoid city of detroit. its a fine ride indeed.

wir freuen uns das neue jahr mit ihm beginnen zu können. nach seiner sagenhaften single coconut blues istgabriel ananda zurück auf treibstoff! der titeltrack love attack hat die für ananda typisch erdigen grooves. streicher bereiten den weg zu einer organisch anmutenden bassline und nehmen uns mit auf einen emotionalen glückstrip. open up ist ein sehr trickreiches stück techno und entwickelt einen unfassbaren sog, der den raum zu einem vakuum werden lässt. für den remix von open up hat sich treibstoff den stuttgarter till krüger beim befreundeten label 200 records ausgeliehen. mit seiner version wählte er diesmal nicht seinen schnellen detroit-sound, sondern lässt die original-sounds in einem gewand erscheinen, daß mit seinen dubs an die legendären gas platten von wolfgang voigt erinnert.

support by kink, dave clark, deetron, dirt crew, joris voorn, and.id, alex celler, martin eyerer, nic fanciulli, roberto rodriguez, oscar, gunnar stiller and more.
this killer release by echonomist proves to be one of his most diverse and promising attempts as he switches in between dance styles like houdini. the collaboration with dans mon salon in isolation is a wondering imaginative road trip into the avenues of detroit, driving in a black car as the boomy rhythmic sequence meets with high end pad strings, a haunting stuck acid bass-line and the vocals of a tortured soul seeking salvation. techno structure with modern tools.

after the big succes of hi tech booty, we searched for some really special guys out there to put hand on ahmets bomb. well here it is. a1 comes from maetrik which was a strong desire of ahmet and for sure an excellent choice. he totally brings in his own style while getting a little bit closer to the darkside of the track. a2 is a special collab between rainer, which we know from the last regular stock5 record together with cesare vs disorder and viudez, a mexican guy that seems to have a very nice influence to the production style. the vocal is very present but placed, arranged and transformed geniously. for sure a weapon! b1 is written by our special friend chris sylvester aka inxec. starting with a very housy groove, it falls quickly into a hypnotic mood that is unique in inxec productions. he really knows what the dancefloor requires and for this we are very happy to have him again in our release roster. b2 presents a very new and fresh artist called rico casazza. he interprets the track in a very detroit way, works verz little with the vocal but hits it very perfectly for the sense of the track. after this debut on our imprint you can be sure to hear more of this young guy in the next time!!!

it is no secret that bloop has gained a cult following in the few years that it has as a label. release after release, the portuguese imprint has put quality over quantity. and by doing so, it has earned the respect of the djs. one of the releases that made it gain that status has to be anonyms >fazer-me a cabeça ep<. its two tracks from an anonymous producer from detroit, that had just released an acclaimed ep on sushitech, was so well received that it helped in raising the profile of both anonym and bloop. so it is a great pleasure to have anonym back on bloop with >a is for acid, b is for bass<. two raw jabs of techno and rave, two strong statements of how detroit techno has still a lot to say

desolat is happy to announce a new 12inch by giuseppe cennamo. born in naples, italy in 1980, giuseppe took to the turntables at age 13. following the legacy of fellow napolitanos like marco carola, danilo vigorito and davide squillace, he took the inspiration of classic house and melodic synths to build his own brand of tech. his tracks on several labels got a lot of peak time play and caught the ears of loco dice. fortuitously, after a break to clear his head, mr cennamo decided to take the inspiration of a loco dice dj set to create something specifically tailored for desolat, which resulted in this release.this particular slice of vinyl is aimed squarely at the djs - with the title track amanecer digging deep into the pads, a cantering kick and gentle swing that hints at detroit forefathers. cuando tu quieres stomps its heels and morphs into a very whimsical bouncing house burner: plenty of fun to be had with this one. dejame asi feels like a spaghetti western re-imagined with the help of a conical moving laser beam, a childrens choir and a bag full of kazoos while the rest of nothing is a reduced, pinocchio-like percussion-driven track with an insistent bassline
