o the lead single from jay hazes new album love & beyond, arriving 28 april. o a jacking floor-filler powered by jays previously unknown beatboxing skills. o features exclusive b-side >free ride<, a collaboration with ricardo villalobos. jay hazes upcoming album love & beyond is set to win over new fans, confuse longtime followers, and piss off the haters as jay takes things to the next level. available on 2xcd (digital soul and instrumental beatscapes) and 2xlp (entirely different tracks of dance material), the album is a noticeable departure from his back catalog (which nears 100 releases if you include his numerous aliases and side projects). ass to mouth is the 1stt single, driven by layers of jays own voice - breathing, cooing, and clicking - combined with ominous synth lines, resulting in a bouncy, sweaty workout track. ass to mouth is inspired by classic chicago house, yet wouldnt sound out of place on missy elliotts so addictive or björks medúlla. in addition to a stripped-down a cappella version, this single includes the non-album b-side >free ride,< a 10-minute spacious groove co-produced with his buddy ricardo villalobos, showcasing the synergy between two of the most forward-thinking producers in the global techno/house community

jesse rose remixes !! remixes of kbs >fragment two-the first picture<. jesse rose drops a smooth vocal house remix (+instrumental). also idjut boys drop an eclectic ebm inspired remix and dj volume delivers another house remix. fyi, these are completely different tracks from the other 2 fragments remixes 12s.

as a label you sometimes get demos in that make you listen up right with the first beats. >deep valley< and >to the groove< by silent hill are one of these rare examples. a high production quality and massive, powerful beats leave no doubt, heres an experienced engineer at work. man behind this project is long-term producer thomas kutger getting the assist of evil concussion. two tracks as different as complementary – >deep valley< attends to the deeptechy fields whereas >to the groove< is more of a housy affair, but both with an enormous pressure and bassheaviness to set both dancefloors and sound systems on fire.

sometimes, its still worth not to waste your youth with nonsense but to learn to play an instrument. like in the case of sebastian mullaert, who has learned to play violin, organ and piano, while his partner marcus henriksson rather came from kraftwerk and human league to electronic music. as son kite, the two swedes have already a well-known name in the psy-trance scene, and as minilogue, they now start to conquer the minimal and house world. with their rather unique sound, they manage the tightrope walk between minimal and trance and never allow us to put them into a drawer. especially with their debut on cocoon rec, minilogue present themselves in a different way, compared to their releases on traum or wagon repair. >jamaica< is a calm track at the first hearing and is perfect for building up a set. beginning with bird-like sounds, the track builds up slowly and quickly becomes very interesting and tricky, ramifies as organic as a climbing plant, and when the tribal sound emerges from the underground, this track has exactly what makes minilogue so special: organic matter and groovy sounds, worked into a minimal labyrinth with very much love for the details. all of that can also be found on the b side which seems to be more adequate for the morning hours, with its somehow spacey sound. with >jamaica<, mullaert and henriksson prove that they are floating on the very surface of the endless minimal ocean. and with their album >animals< being already in sight on cocoon recordings, one can be highly anxious of what is coming ahead, by minilogue and techno made in sweden

terry lee brown jr. – one of the most frequent names in plastic city labels history has convinced his audience and critics by always being different while remaining a unique character of the housy upper class. he succeeded changing topics and following the rule of never producing just one kind of music. the latest release at plastic city comes with a special announcement: terrys next album is in the pipe and this is an exclusive preview on the next chapter of delightful entertainment. the 12inch proves again terrys status as one of the few who are able to reinvent themselves everyday!

leopoldo rosas latest killester ep offers a warm, organic vibe in its fusion of electronic and acoustic sounds. in the new eps four tracks, the dublin based italian producer adopts a somewhat sparse and rough edged style thats dramatically different from the sleek polish that characterizes the output of many other producers. deep by design and funky at the same time, these four tracks dive into a analogue deep house pool of sound!!

ealier support by chloe, giles smith and karotte. maik loewen was already infected by musiccalitis in early years. and there was also his increasing fascination for beats. it did not take long till he started playing the drums and synthesizer. with the tb 303 being one of his first instruments he immediately became addicted to electronic sounds and became quite skilled in using these new devices in his own productions. during his apprenticeship at the recording studios he produced his first tracks. at the same time he started his collaboration with oliver hacke and gabriel ananda. they supported him to get his first record deals. following his first releases on tonsport >arnika ep<, karmarouge >mezcal ep< and trapez >one year one month< and remix projects for walter dahn und jorge gebauhr, his latest ep on poikerflat >even if you sleep<, maik finally appears on karmarouge: the >backcountry camping ep<. his deep understanding for functional sounds and extremly pumping beats, combined with the right mixture of genius and insanity, enables mike to playfully produce upfront club-compatible music. >i dont like musical restrictions, what counts is the feeling of the moment, expressed in acoustic waves<. a perfect mixture that metamorphoses the dancefloor into a seething gladiators arena and wich become one of this genius minimal techno anthems who seems to fly higher more and more. not to forget the huge portion of groovy funkiness. the three tracks on the ep nicely explore different nuances of maik loewens present sound

2 different wood grains printed on 2 slipmats ... cool stuff

incl raul rincon remix !! slammin funky & vocal house in different versions, electro and club mixes

support by gregor tresher, karotte, james holden, oliver huntemann.... another stunning extrawelt ep. >disttheme< is the name of this long awaited 3-tracker. the last two years have been busy for the two hamburg based extrawelt guys. single releases on cocoon and traum and remix work on labels such as underwater, confused, different and global underground on the one hand and heavy touring all around the globe on the other hand - that have been busy times indeed. besides this extraordinary schedule, we got the chance to pick these three energetic tracks and now we got them pressed on vinyl finally. this is a high quality mixture of techno, neotrance and house, choosing the best ingredients of all three styles in order to create top notch club music. a fantastic follow-up on kompass musik.

the latest release on two faces shows a slightly different side of the label and introduces the new artist björn leineweber. björn combines modern electronic clubmusic with rock and punk influences and his special german vocals to a very own style. the original mix of >dieser ton< shows his full talent for writing exceptional lyrics, beautiful harmonies and creating unique sound designs. a track with a lot of feelings. on a2 we find position:greenfield - an artist out of the label environment. he developed a remix with classic techno elements and unexpected variances. a track for the early morning hours to deeply touch the crowd. on the flip the label boss himself makes a very compact groovy floorburner. perhaps one of the hits in 2008 ... no more words needed

earlier support comes from ewan pearson, funk d void, satoshi tomi, tiger stripes, troy pierce, laurent garnier, danny howells and many more.. the tenth release from aus music is a tasty little bomb from sian to kick off the new year. graham goodwin aka sian is a dublin native raised gypsy style in southern spain. he released two albums and many singles on labels as diverse as pokerflat, dessous, karmarouge, dirtcrew and einmaleins. wear your scars like medals - has a very different vibe to sians first outing on aus, his lush, melodic >apple tree<. >wear your scars< is an all together darker, more brooding affair. with no bass line to speak of and sirens and toms carrying the majority of the melody this can be classed as a truly tribal excursion. roland appel remix - taking the pitch of sians sirens as the melodic starting point roland builds a hypnotic deep techno track that is reminiscent of early planet e releases.

number one for splitsound with abnormal boyz & joseph capriati... presenting their image of >electronic music< like a >picture impressed in the vinyl< with an ep with different points of views and the consciousness that the music will break the senses of the listeners... >termal eyes< is a minimal house track of excellent quality, for exigent djs, >another vision of space< is a killing floor track, dangerous alchemy of hypno-grooves with techno flavour. >things changes< remixed by andre crom (heimatmelodie, memo & leftroom) is with his authors words: >the maximise of minimise<, essential structure of bass lines and riffs gives a direct kick into the bones

stathis kalatzis aka mr. statik, also known for his collaboration as mud max, is giving full scope to his greek temperament on the >temperamento ep<. on four tracks he bounces and bleeps with great efforts and a broad horizon, constantly changing and constantly different. support comes from geoffroy mugwump, italoboyz, lee smith, jimpster.

the first various artists project on car belongs to daniel gloomy and lexis. a and b side consist of one lexis and one gloomy track. lexis tracks offer more forward going hard drum line tool tracks with powerful subbass lines as gloomy tracks offer a different approach to hard tech tools with powerful synth themes. all the tracks are peak time material for any hard tech playing dj

>this sound< is the sound of def jaguar (aka djuma soundsystem) and best mate flip. you might remember the djumas from last years >les djinns< on get physical but this is a completely different story. >this sound< is pure catchy and sexy pop-house at its best. its a flirt tool! berghain/panorama bar resident murat tepeli (playhouse/ostgut) follows with a properly crafted remix. anyone said chicago? yes, house keeps our heart pumping. this is a dj tool for the discerning selector. on the flip side, the classy joachim spieth (paso/kompakt) is set to deliver…and he delivers, no doubt about it! he shifts the cosiness of the original towards deeper and hypnotic areas turning a house anthem into a techno anthem! to finalise the matter, dubnoodles (milnor modern/rundlauf) pumps fresh energy into his remix with help from a fat bass spiced up with unexpected indie flavoured grooves!

patrick lindseys funkwelle imprint is one of the big surprises in autumn 2007. with only two releases, saying dubfires >roadkill< and patricks >wanton mood< this label can be found in lots of different dj cases at the moment. this brand new single shows the two different faces of the former harthouse producer. >kami kamikaze< is a what the name already says, a tech house killer sawtooth dance floor attack and >the darkelf< continues the tradition of >im tagtraum versunken< and gives you for sure the creeps.

this time again offering some delightful grooves that will be appreciated both by the dance floor crowd and home listeners. nicely starting off the ep is berlin based greek producer ekkohaus - on his second tune for the label with a very detroit-influenced track, massive elements of groove and funk, exploding half-way through and teasing the listener as the snare/clap comes in on the half beat. this tune will be largely enjoyed by both techno and house fanatics. next one on the list is italian marco shuttle, offering a slightly different approach with his deep, long & repetitive journey of soft synth chords and elegant elements that remind of cadenza releases, providing a perfect tune for the after-hours or stylish warm up. on the flip we find ourselves with a huge tune from queen atom, perfect for the peak time hours in those big packed club rooms: a combination of detroit-esque funk, with trippy back melodies and percussive 909 toms waving through the atmosphere, resulting in a dark yet groovy slow-tempo techno piece. strikingly finishing off the ep is argentinean artist rudolf, already known for his previous releases on sthlm, who delivers an enormous experimental track with intensely layered vocal melodies: eerie, ghostly and combined with many industrial aspects, the result is an immense bubbly, watery track that will indisputably drive clubbers insane throughout the globe.

played by ricardo villalobos, richie hawtin , losoul, baby ford, bruno pronsato... aandy vaz is the owner of the background record label, hes a very talented producer who makes high quality and sophisticated house music. andy gives us the honor to do a 2nd ep after the very acclaimed >shrinking cities ep< (tel16) released in 2004. this new 12 different from the previous one presents 3 strong tracks.

maybe you remenber of first release by delete on safari (saf015). this ep has his first hit for him... ever repressed more 2 times...it was one of the powerful release on sf. now they back with more experience and for this new ep... hes loking for a hypnotic minimal bliss. >what are you laughin< .its more housey minimal dubby sound like chilian boys can play in long set. you must check this track... its really interesting ! what are another different way but sill in the groove

combustible ep is a joint production made in barcelona by swat squad (trapez, resopal, treibstoff) and sentinel (a talented newcomer). >combustible< greets you with a set of floating pads that instantly give place to a fast paced set of typewriter clicks. soon enough there is a new scenario when new exciting elements enter, bringing different colours to the composition. >verduritas< is like a sweet pea! its fresh, rich and smart!

big support by richie hawtin, ricardo villalobos, paco osuna, marco carola, xpansul, davide squillace... after his summer holidays in miami, damian schwartz has rediscovered his kinky latino side. his new release is a story about futuristic techno, mental and contorted dance music seasoned with a salsa flavour. química afluencia (mupa 006) is the product of the chemistry affecting the brain of an individual for whom the obstacles are unknown, now focusing his talent on a black as night house, bigger and fatter than ever. >1568 drexel av< is a conga battle, full of bitter rhythms and syntethized sounds, friction for best possible dancefloor, the one that is in your brain. *2020 replicates this same adn but in different secuences: tons of sick and nasty grooves that make you sweat like hell. just a few artist have damian schwartzs capacity of going a step further on each one of his releases

earlier this year, todd sines inaugurated yore with the slamming techno-funk of the .xtrak release back_up ep and now returns for round two with dont stop. without losing the stripped-down, minimal tech-house funk essence of the .xtrak sound, sines ups the acid-house ante considerably in the new material. the old-school title cut makes an immediately vivid impression by repeating the insistent vocal hook >dont stop<-both command and mantra-over a towering backbeat. >cut to the chase< does exactly that with funky handclaps and syncopated swing, while the b-sides low-riding >unreflect< pairs dropouts and bass-crawling boogie. slightly different in character, the squiggly acid-techno track >quantum mechanics< is as precision-tooled as its title suggests. despite the subtle shift in stylistic emphasis, dont stop offers a splendid complement to the earlier release

first release on central by different central artists like leper, bryantist and dirtbox with tracks from deep flavoured minimal techno to ambient and funky electro

3 different tracks are the ingredients of this release on fragile records which wont miss the chance to satisfy the hottest fans of the pure tribal house sound!!

joel mull, another representative of the swedish techno community, releases his current vision of what is to happen on the dancefloors. it is different from what his fans know from the early days. with his debut single on cocoon >harmonautic string<, joel mull sends us to a journey through the track which is smoothly airy-fairy and thus perfect to dive into the land of dreams after a wild party night. even when speeding up after a short break with the drums dominating – the track remains harmonic and is designed to dance into the sun in the early morning hours. the b-side appears spacy and melancholic, but again, mull is able to layer his music so deep and brillant that the basic mood is still vicious with the track still coming along in a magical and elegant way. >blossom< is exactly the right thing for a cold winter night and reminds of the b-side of beyers cocoon release

bip soup is the collaboration of two moscow-based electronic producers: andrey zots and petr serkin (dj betatester). the main idea behind the project is the realtime techno improvisation. in studio petr and andrey produce half-finished tracks, which can be controlled in realtime on gigs. extensive usage of nord modular g2 synthesizers helps them in programming unique modular constructions. so the answer on the question what and where appears in a matter of seconds, before the realization of musical or sound ideas begins. therefore each new live gig is a unique performance. different music predilections of duo members allow to vary musical program, which helps not to stay in limits of one music style

belgiums ortin cam (tom macoye) teams up with spilo labelowner cave (inge kjeilen). tom macoye has been a solid techno producer since early 2000 and has so far over 50 releases under different alliases, the most known of them being ortin cam, with past releases on session, traum and pocket aswell as a soon upcoming ep on adam beyers drumcode label, this is definitely a name most technofans know well

fredo has already been collaborating with massive attack and this debut ep is the perfect introduction to this wonderful new artist. the choral majesty of fredos voice and the utterly refreshing production sound sets this ep apart as something very exciting indeed. three different tracks open the account, the sweet electronic waves of the title track, the playful sounds of hogwash and the dark demented abrasive ether.

green velvet in 5 different mixes

cool clickin and sub heavy minimal tech !! 3 different artists, 3 different tracks for every time at the club

played by todd terje, tim sweeny, mungolian jet set, bill brewster, dj cosmo and more. on this release they don’t seem to hide their combined love for soundtrack and trip hop at all! the heavy sonic landscape that is painted then suddenly gets some strokes of warm synthetic keys while a mid tempo 4/4 bass drum hypnotically keeps you going towards the end. finally you kindly get administered a dose of druggy guitar for maximum distortion effect.on the flip norwegian top-flight psychonauts mungolian jet set show their genius by telling a totally different story. for their dark & gloomy medievel knievel version the main theme from bs&f gets many variations and transpositions.this is a genuine and highly intelligent epic dance floor masterpiece not for the faint-hearted!

great feedback by oxia, st. sebastian, dj f.e.x., jeff bennett and martin landsky. the three tracks on the ep nicely explore different nuances of maik loewens sound (tonsport, trapez, karmarouge). the funky and uplifting >napping at the switch< spreads a positive energetic vibe, while >bright night< comes in a darker vein, before the nerdy >night shift< rounds off this brilliant ep

new ocean trax sub label debut, includes giorgio giordano & gianni bini different roads percussion edit and sandro corciulo what trouble!!

after his first release on flash recordings together with daso on the night express ep, pawas is now back with his very own three-track ep on the label of koletzki & meindl. all tracks were created in pune in india, pawas’ hometown, and the ep is about three different characters. alicia, charlie and edward. each one of them has a certain distinctive vibe about them: alicia is deep and eloquent, edward is more hectic and restless while charlie seems the funky and witty sort. in terms of music, edward is carried on a powerful, deep synthie melody, a big breathing bassline and some great percussive clicks and clacks that turn into a slightly ravey minimal burner later on in the tune. very hot! edward is a little lighter and is pushed forward by a great funky melody that creates the perfect after hour moment. imagine yourself on the beach when the sun is coming up. alicia on the a side is a deeper, more housy affair has a melodic, percussive and detroity appeal. pawas has managed to create a very fresh and unique signature sound and with releases on squonk, connaisseur and flash records, 2007 seems to be the year for him.

here s an appetizer before the full length nebraska album drops on dl. vicarious disco (alt. mix) is a slightly different mix of one of the key album tracks, a combination of an insistent looped up riff, soaring orchestral strings, and a hot nickels synth bassline. me me me goes more juan style techno, all portamento slides and peppered staccato melodies a jacker! for the b side, we asked one of our all-time favorite producers to remix vicarious disco soul 223, aka stasis. its similar in style to his other soul 223 stuff, his personalized take on detroit beatdown house.

electro house in different mixes
