inner thoughts is a rolling acid track with off beat snares and broken hi hats while space disco is a deep detroit esque, mid tempo slice of electronic gem. sonja moonear (karat, katapult) has added her own dimension into the release, having reworked space disco into an obscurely deep, heavily bassed broken piece of dance floor wonder. also on remix duties, lasimo (senator/germany) has taken the original from down town detroit to a parisian night club, dropping the main acid line out but manoeuvring the percussive groove and gentle pads to an altogether new kind of experience.

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)

rolling techno with a enormous groove. great detroit techno / house remix by virton

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

>across the city< is the main track - a dance-floor smasher that contains all the elements required from an excellent pablo bolivar production. its a minimal-tech groover, full of floating elements, with pablo again discovering his more dubby side. featuring remixes by westpark unit and blunt. westpark unit (aka frank herbrechter & ingo sänger) delivers a warm & deep vibe mix to rock the party, while tony blunts trademark is his floating mix of dub and deep detroit influences.

detroit artists seth troxler & patrick russell join forces for their first ep >valt trax< on circus company in what is obviously a successful piece of teamwork. seth troxler, now living in berlin, has been attracting attention with his spacey, funky atmospheric releases on labels such as spectral, items & things (as thrill cosby), omarss fxhe ( as young seth), esperanza, beretta grey, leftroom, and dumb unit, moving into more and more interesting territories with every one of his releases. the idea behind the ep was to recreate a vibe identical to that of the heyday of underground dance music and instant insanity of the early 90s on a record that sounds like it was lost in a dusty vault for 20 years and just rediscovered.

supported by john digweed, pawas, jeff samuel, adam kroll, dubnitzky, monoroom, h.o.s.h., mollono.bass, elektrodrei, jakob seidensticker&lexgold !! and again the ostwind-crew presents new artists on their limited series. on the a-side we have the up comming artists daniel solar (known from his excellent remix-work for marc depulse s “kein kind von traurigkeit” on ostwind013) with his production partner marc poppcke aka solar & poppcke. they deliver a stunnig melancholic journey between electrofied techhouse and neo-trance with some neo-pop influences. on the b-side we welcome roberto rodriguez, known from his projects “future beat investigators”, “bermuda” or “track n field” for labels like laka, raw fusion, sonar kollektiv, frisbee tracks and nine2five to name a few. he comes with a great soulful detroit influenced melodic techhouse biggie to save special moments on the dancefloor. all in all a very nice package with two sentimentally ear candys in a very high production quality !!

claude vonstroke returns with his first original record in over a year. this time he partners with long time friend and upcoming producer, christian martin. this is a melodic hybrid of techno and house with influences as far away as drum n bass. the flip side features a remix by super hot producer gabriel ananda and newcomer alice rose. they playfully twist the main theme throughout, sprinkling in stabs to the constantly building groove. many people have said the original record sounds like a follow-up to >whos afraid of detroit?< but we will let you decide what to think for yourself.

hyperdub kick off 2008 they way they intend to proceed, with new tracks from a new artist. on her debut release, ikonika comes with her own very unique, warped yet soulful bleep sound. with shape shifting beats that switch styles every few bars its hard to pin these two tracks down... cos if it was easy, it just wouldnt be hyperdub. both tunes are one minute minimal, one minute maximal, driven along by ikonikas special combination of wonky synth and deep swingin sub bass melodies that place them somewhere between an early, blocky grime instrumental and the sweeter side of detroit techno ? except with better bass of course! who needs a vocalist when your synth can sing like this? quite how kode9 manages to keep unveiling new producers of such abundant talent is a conun drum, but one to be cracked some other time when we?re not so busy keeping up with his astonishing labels ceaseless march into the future.

uncompromising underground techno tunes between genres like detroit and chicago acid-house

two more masterpieces of detroit house that will send shivers down the spines of true deep heads. >dirt rhodes< has an uncut, raw afro-beat feeling to it with layers of distorted, delayed, effect-ladden rhodes meandering on top. >yu forgot< spreads a feeling of deep melancholy with voices moaning the blues over a trademark theo parrish beat.repress

a very special compost release with two very rare tracks! the a-side features a great remix of beanfields >tides< with amazing vocals from bajka - of course its not quite up there with the unbelievable carl craig mix but then that would be an uphill struggle. ripperton from the lazy fat people adds his moody, deep slant to the track, less anthemic than carl craig but a more than welcome alternative. this mix was available for a short time as bootleg with ricardo villaloboss remix of depeche modes >sinner in me< on the flip and sold out quickly despite the poor sound quality. finally, one year later, this great tune sees it official release completely remasterd in chrystal clear sound - get it, play it, love it! in 2006 the duo tom wieland and marc frank - better known as 7 samurai - crafted a fine remix of invisible sessions under their panoptikum moniker. when michael reinboth considered this remix for his new future sounds of jazz compilation the guys decided to contribute even a little bit more: an excusive new version which became a definitely highlight of the whole compilation. the panoptikum 2007 remix surprisingly takes a leaf out of innervisions book for a smooth deep houser with a slighty techy sound and a touch of detroit in the vein of Âme or henrik schwarz. in contrast to the vocal version included on fsoj this 12inch features the trippy instrumental version. ace stuff! two must have tracks - all killer, no filler!

debut 12inch of this detroit dream co-op between theo parrish, omar s and marcelus pittman. rawer and harder than the last sound signature releases, this is a one-sided must-have 12inch, limited repress
