this twentieth 3024 release is by my friend trevino. i am particularly proud to put this out because it was trevino (aka marcus intalex), who signed my very first tracks and gave me my break back in 2005 (a 12 inch called get down on his label revolve:r). in the last two years he has started taking his techno more seriously, writing new tracks at a very fast pace. i am glad people are taking notice of his music cos he is the real deal and it was tough picking tracks for this release cos he is making so many! ultimately we chose four that would clearly showcase marcus different sides and styles. so, seven years after my >get down<, i am proudly presenting the mighty trevino with his >tactical manoeuvre ep<.

sys are three nijmegen based producers with different backgrounds, but with the same great view on music, delivering underground techno/dub with great sounddesign, slow tension building drum-patterns and off-beat rhythms. nocturnal is a deep pulsating rhythm with some nice dubbed out chord elements building slowly until the drumbreak hits and lifts the track to a higher level.monocle is about a steady irresistable groove instead of building to a climax. loose yourself in its simplicity and get sucked in by the slick sounddesign happening in the background.on the flip norman nodge delivers a great acidic remix perfect for warm up sets, peaktime dancefloor action or early morning moments.nice one again on eshu!

tune in: dana ruh brings brouqade back from summer holidays. an ep completely rounded, mesmerizing from first to last. sula wakes with vivid snares. precisely produced, finely tuned arrangements and driven by a straight beat and pulsating bass line, the track develops with its deep clubsound to a veritable groover.cautious in the beginning nebouxii gains its selfesteem, builds up subtly, pushes and drives forward and spreads its hypnotic appeal. the mood is constantly high and takes its time to fully develop. sulidae brings you back from the previous hypnosis and gives you insight in a different world: charming vocals glide on a steady synth line, when all around a poetic magic is revealed and some ingenious elements are pulled out of the hat.

grinding teeth is a unhealthy habit, but sometimes you cant help it. back on track on their mission to provide the worlds most hypnotic yet kicking techno beats, its all about the saegezahn and crunchy grinding on neufeld 02 sawtooth grinder. an amazingly diverse release, with three different takes on the original, each work stands on its own yet shares a common goal - to inspire people to hit a dark dance floor and shake their bodies as hard as they can and lose their minds in acid lushness.

faces number three will invite the two young producers sekouia and rain dog to share sides on this disc and expose their musical crafts. coming from denmark and the uk, respectively, they are with certainty looking forward to long-lasting succesful careers. what they share is a an intrinsic feel for tiny musical details which give their music an intimate feel to keep the listener mesmerized for ages. on this record they experiment with different sounds and tempos to create a dynamic collection of unique compositions that congregate an ep of colourful, low slung and ambient tunes or simply chocolatefudgebrownieplasticmusic.

nice price deal !!! prism studied drums under vance gordan specialising in afro cuban rhythms and the moeller technique prior to venturing into music production. after becoming more intrigued by the intricate likeness of all societies, cultures and religions, prism was created with a deeper purpose. not only to showcase these influences but to convey an awareness that all things no matter how different they may appear in physical form, are all the same. having an ear for deep jazzy tunes and being hugely influenced by the early metalheadz era, prism continues this sound in his selection of music playing vinyl and unreleased dubs from all around the world. always in tune with the roots of what started both dubstep and drum and bass, prisms selection rarely strays away from raw, emotional bass music but contains something for everyone which will insure a good time for all who catches one of his sets

as the title suggests the new before the show album depicts beginnings and endings. we believe that life has many different beginnings and endings, and that the various journeys we take from one beginning to one end are filled with detours – and it is these detours which continually shape and define us as the people we are. musically years&years&years picks up where hearts and heads left off, however, it has developed towards a bigger and more complex sound image. it can best be described as a combination of sting and peter gabriel on one hand, and smashing pumpkins and radiohead on the other.

chairlift present takes on several cuts from acclaimed second album >something< by some of their favorite producers, showcasing how their songs can easily be adapted for the club. appropriately titled the 6.15amix, spanish equipo fantástico john talabot and pional turn >i belong in your arms< into a balearica-infused club-closer. a nifty piano line and seductive rhythm take the song on a late night (or rather early morning) trip to the beach, while carolines voice is being warped into something from outer space. photek takes the same track to a whole different place with his powerful jungle interpretation. martyn respects both the pace and rhythm of sidewalk safari, yet exchanges the clean production for a rather more cosmic beat, incorporating many of his signature touches to compliment the sinister >i m gonna hunt you down< lyric. dan careys dub mix of >sidewalk safari< shows a more playful side, while arguably the most intriguing remix of the package is the fields take on >met before<, recalling his early work it is so warped and layered you may struggle to imagine the original minus the smallest of hints.

sixth instalment from the shack and another generous exult in aural pleasing for the intelligent of house heads out there. two original tracks, two in-house remixes, you know the score with these guys…this is how they work. key to the label and artists success is being reliable and consistent with the flow, something obviously being picked up as the label once again is topping the right charts and getting the props from the right people. expect no different with 006.

this is the last teaser before the release of the kruse & nuernberg album >lets call it a day<, featuring, yet again, the beautiful vocals of stee downes. on remix duties, we have lazy days regular shur-i-kan with two completely different flavors. his 80s vocal mix is a beautiful update of the original, speeding up the tempo for peak time play, while his 90s dub is a straight up stripped down classic house re-work. first time on the label, we welcome nathan g with another fine remix that can be played at just about any time of the night. lastly, we have the original in all its beauty, at its slower original tempo.

idiot savant masterpieces is the 3rd release and the first full solo ep by amir alexander on the vanguard sound record label. on display is amirs somewhat off kilter take on u.s. dance music. an approach so different that one critic described the work of amir and his crew as idiot savant masterpieces. all bases are covered, acid, deep, big room, and banging techno with a little hip house thrown in for good measure. vanguard sound is quickly establishing itself as a label to watch so serious collectors should buy this one on sight!

luca c & brigante are beginning to need no introduction as their heady balearic mix of sounds continue to resonate from the beach to the club. together, they have dropped bombs such as >different morals< feat. ali love and the robert owens fronted >tomorrow can wait<. luca c is also one half of infinity ink, whose >infinity< has been one of the summers biggest records, and a new addition to hot natured alongside jamie jones, ali love and lee foss. sebi aka brigante has remixed the new single from ali love, about to drop on no.19. aligning with the ancient mayan prophecy that the end of the world is due december 21st 2012, luca c & brigantes new single >flash of light< featuring dance music icon roisin murphy is a call to love like there is no tomorrow. embedded in heavy reverb and stripped back to slow steady drums, the mood rises as roisins crystalline vocals fall into rhythm and weightlessness builds with the bassline hook, pearly high-pitched strings and a burst of harmonic percussion.

permanently being busy performing, the so funky duo masomenos nevertheless take their time to produce. such as the artwork basically already is announcing it, things go in cycles in masomenosville (s/s). so, this ep is the start of a new series, and a delicious example on how to effectively create different moods.. st jacut (with lemos, feat. jaw (dop) is the charming vocal opener... go on my son (with lemos) is the classic housey lift-up, tomorrow (feat jaw (dop) got that reflective vibe. finally tofidi (with lemos) is an ohhh so effective masterpiece...yeppa.!!

the ever cultured house and techno outpost that is the cinematic label here serves up another tasty ep, this time from belgium house and techno stalwart klaina. through a number of eps and a full length, as well as his own radio show and parties in and around belgium, klaina has earned himself a reputation as someone who crafts sci-fi influenced, heavy linear sounds, and his >semiplan< track, along with remixes from the rhythm odyssey, juju & jordash, amir alexander, is no different.

to do things, that are not quite usual, free from standards and away from drawer think is here the topic of the next sono vivo catalog number. there are every time again different >things<, that influence the emotions and the life of one person. and that is exactly what wigbert wants to express with his new single >things<. the focus of things is the acid similar moogbassline surrounded by percussive and drum-like elements, which produce a special groove. slowly and full of energy one increase after the other devolopes during the track, until it reaches its peak after the break. souvenir and freebase records artist chris wood took the original track and created a nice tech house remix quite to his style. with a mixture of techno and tech house, old school and new school the topic >things< is brought expertly to the point and you can find it to the peaktime on the dancefloor for sure!

elbee bad is another great underground house pioneer from the formative days of nyc house in the late eighties. the true story of house music finally gets told... tip! like the burrell brothers, elbee bad aka lamont booker, is an early house producer from new york city. and the comparison doesnt stop there. elbee bad has also recorded under different aliases and has also remained largely unknown to a wider audience. he has also recorded for nu groove records, for which he has recorded his most famous material, but like the burrells he wasnt a nu groove fixture. bad recorded for a slew of other independent new york house labels like bassment, city limits, easy street, red heat, united states of america and then there was his own larhon records

the second of two eps from talented californian newcomer, tyler friedman, has now arrived. a night in the woods ep starts of as a murky rhythmic experiment. when released of its bound, it transforms into a hailstorm of sound that builds in melodic intensity towards a final climax. this is scenic and brave electronic dancemusic that over and over again will capture the focused listener. on the b-side rivet for sure push tyler towards berghain. but now the tool is somewhat different. rivet transforms the cinematic original into a very dirty and dry party stomper.

4th release by 12records, presenting the new deep88 >removing dust< ep (taken from the forthcoming >removing dust< album that will be released later on this year). main single is a2 >the vibe<, a classic 90s beat made over a real melody, where vocals parts crossover and match each others, in two differents peaks, to create a whole >vibe< flow from the start till the end of the song. a1 is a test signal experiment, where samples take a different level, a sort of meta sample, a sample into a sample… well, have a listen, its easier to understand that way. bside is 3 tracks long, not a common practice in todays ep releases. b1 >grancartridge<, a moodymann house style raw song, b2 is even more raw sampling style, meanwhile b3 is a dreamy vocal house tune more common to deep88s style. the result is a mature ep, that ntroduces the 2nd deep88 album, always on 12records, and that will bring him into that >serious< realm of making house that is seen in some elite today (funny isn’t it… at the end it is just about music and we all have ears… maybe)... btw less marketing on our head, this 12inch wont be a coloured or hand written limited release, just the good old classic black one (yes it sounds better folks) and no limited copies… when is close to finish we will repress as usual.

a freaky, bumping brand of deep house that stands apart from the glut of smoother styles being mined at present. >groove your world< boasts surreal pads that create an overall delirious vibe, only bolstered by the off-kilter choice of vocal snippets and occasional thunder cracks. medlars remix finds its way into that swinging shuffle that hes made his name on thus far, with some smooth keys to boot. >let me know< works off some bold chords before meandering off in an altogether different direction, and >you got my time< clatters along with a quintessential chicago ruffness that leans heavily on the drums

over the course of a year, keith fullerton whitman performed a piece of live electronic music a few dozen times entitled >generator<. the debut was given in san francisco at root stratas on land festival at cafe du nord on september 19th, 2009 … over the months that followed stagings took place in venues ranging from flooded basements to festival stages in baltimore, boston, brooklyn, chicago, easthampton, iowa city, jamaica plain, northampton, raleigh, saint louis, san francisco, somerville, & washington d.c.
this lp covers the final two performances of the piece over two consecutive evenings , the opening solo set from the final night of high zero festival in baltimore at the theater project, september 26th, 2010, then the performance during the for eliane night of the propensity of sound festival dedicated to eliane radigues work at issue project room, brooklyn, september 27th, 2010. these recordings show the piece in two different iterations, taking two different trajectories entirely. they are considered as the definitive versions of the piece.

usually, the purpose of a piece like this is to tell other writers, music mag editors, distribution people and record shop clerks why they should like a certain release and buy, hype, review it. often these encomiums are not really honest and sometimes you even feel like attending an attempt to sell a flat tire. as for i:cubes new longplayer m megamix things are – of course! – very different. being its fifth solo album, an introduction of a man like nicolas chaix or even his biography (another popular brick of sales sheets) seems rather unsuitable. if you dont know what you should know, just use your internet search engine with any of these terms: chateau flight, versatile records, french touch, disco cubizm or parisian prodigy.

big with: richie hawtin, acid pauli, dj sneak, davide squillace, m.a.n.d.y., valentino kanzyani, robert dietz, pig & dan, chris wood, melon, martin landsky, m.in, gorge, ernesto ferreyra, dudley strangeways, mr statik,... this is the first release of siliccon groovees, the new member of the sonido posse. the story of the tracks is about a group of young men who visit a house party in chicago for the first time in 1989..and this event is also presented by george g (desolat , cecille) in two different sound prospects....enjoy..
