sistema s new installment for factor city is a three-phased bomb that perfectly showcases the versatility of this underrated barcelona producer, a wide-ranging affair which should cover your dancefloor and armchair listening needs. opening with circus parade samples, >tio vivo< quickly developes as an archetypical factor city groove with its irressistible fat bass and piercing synth lines, a track that rises and falls like a phoenix before hitting you hard with some devastating chord changes. dancefloor monster music...

here we have another splendid deephouse offering from one veteran of the german scene who also runs a fantasticly stocked recordstore. driving deepness with crisp and warm chord structures and carefully set highlights such as string backings, accoustic guitar licks and butter female choruses. definitely check this out if you are a fan of charles webster, naked music or early guidance

'voyager' perfectly takes you through different phases of tension and release starting with a irresistible build-up where just the distortion of a simple chord raises the electricity topped for even more intensity by frantic hi-hat action in jazz-drumming style. for 'sucre' he teams up once again with qzen who already refined 'sweat' on pokerflat and 'paranoia' (palette034) and gives another alluring performance with understated, teasing spoken words over this gliding, liquid cut. whos the sugar daddy now?

berlin minimal house hero dave dk (highgrade, television, mÜller, tresor, raum...musik and many more) delivers 2 tracks of utter funkiness with his trademark digitised yet warm ultra funk sound. 'jus suckas' starts with bouncy bass joining forces with squirts of cut-up style percussion rumbling its way before the chord stylee strings attack with added sample-vox. great groover we say. 'this is not a problem' goes more sinister and dark afterhours with rolling bass and machine style groove and which makes you wanna drop that **** before dominating synth lines hits the g-spot and you are already teleported to another level. hott

neustadt 36 transfer dub-techno into a further dimension with the track euronion, a build-up monster with massive drum-patterns and a subtle chord-tension, pushing the climax of the track to it s limits. calm down on the flipside with ben & jerry, where ambient scapes float along a deep bassline, glitchy rhythms underneathà.sweet!

greyscale is set to release its 18th full length cd and this is by one of the busiest and most well respected newer stars in the scene, heavenchord. >o theos einai agapi< is 9 tracks deep of some of the most floaty and serene tracks in our discography. >cloud forest< opens up with a wonderful example of whats to lie ahead. its wide open layered chords arc and shimmer over a soothing spatial background. >deep dimensions< is prone to draw out emotions of long lost memories as you drift along to its echoed-out airy atmosphere. this album isnt fully beatless. there are a few remnants like on >summer grey session< which introduces a broken tech groove while >summer vibes< has you riding on warm waves of calming and peaceful dub goodness. >rare 3< strong chord work shows heavenchords adept craftmanship in this genre that is well beyond his years creating music. the depth created in this album might be its lasting impression. whats not there is as important as what is there. a true shining moment in production!

the well-respected hydergine run ranges label adds a talented phenom to its roster. san francisco dub techno artist federsen, has been making waves in the scene for over a decade now. with releases on greyscale, silent season, zeecc, and even back on thinner in 2009 among others, federsen continues to find himself on labels that can properly advocate his sound. highly influenced by the dub style recording craftsmanship and in an ultra-competitive genre, we at ranges feel that this is one to be heard that evolves the genre even further.>magnetosphere< focuses are wide-ranging on this release. from traditional inspired rhythms like in >relic< and the dub chord roots of >anyplace<, to the spatialness of >euradyce< & >vco<. the seriousness picks up a notch for the techier heads in the wicked sounds of >siricco<. we feel one of the key appeals to federsens sound on this full length is the ability for sounds to evolve organically while others dip, swell and flourish giving the tracks a great live allure. the combination of those strategies make the experience come alive for listeners. the deepness is on full display in epic tracks like the immersive >magnetic< & >l infinito<. there is certainly enough for the deep house fans in this output as well. >forms< & >cerulean< give off house elements while still firmly places itself in the dub techno sphere. we are sure you will love this release and we are very proud to bring it to you! federsen is in top form here on this long player. check it out! written and produced by chris kelly mastering: subosc studio writeup: tim humphrey

pianos have featured in house music since day one. there s just something about the combination of looping piano chords and a skipping house groove which works so well. in contemporary dance music the piano still remains intrinsically linked to house, though it was in the late 80s and 90s that the true piano house classics were created. we took it to our hearts. the emotionally charged piano riff became a defining motif of uk dance music. producers knew they only had to alight upon a suitably uplifting three-chord piano hook in order to unleash a tide of misty nostalgia for rave s halcyon days. ministry of sound are proud to present piano house classics.

for the second installment of their mixtape series, hospital records has turned to devonian duo fred v and grafix, who epitomize the label s festival-friendly outlook. they don t disappoint, either, dropping an action-packed mix that shoehorns 32 tracks into an hour of non-stop dancing fun. after kicking off with the guitar laden hip-hop wooziness of cyantific s high water mark and dimension s tear-out beast whiplash, they variously touch on liquid, hospital style disco drum and bass, and harder flavours. happily, they find room to include eight exclusives from a variety of producers, including a previously unheard vip re-work of their own summer smash major happy

when he proceeded further into the production process, he limited himself using the computer less and instead learning to trust his intuition, the flow of his fingers and to use his own voice as an instrument. this led to an album that is rather hard to pin down genre-wise but even easier to connect to emotionally when you listen to it from start to finish.
