prins thomas turned the original >long gone< into a 7 minutes disco proto house madness. it is definitely another winner from past due! the label that brought you the american boogie down.

inspired by the riz ortolani soundtrack for the girl in the yellow pyjamas hot ring bounces around like pamela andersons front end whilst running up and down malibu beach. sharp stabs and spooky synths lines put this straight in modern electronic disco box. things go even dirtier and deeper with bottins stripped down espresso dub version which feels precisely like a double caffeine punch that will kickstart any stagnating dancefloor. 2020 soundsystem and redux main man fernando then comes up with lovely remix where he adds his signature dubbed out punky sound to the ep.

a soulful piece of housemusic by kaskade aka ryan raddon, carefully remixed by miguel migs.

4 track melt down!!!

lets celebrate the 10th release for kammer musik with this strong 4-tracker, made by giuseppe cennamo, mr. bizz, neal white and oddvar!

the day is finally here... we kicking off the new year with a big one! the original release of restless soul and i know it in 2007 featuring the breath taking vocals of zansika took us all by storm the first time we heard this tune. it was one of those records that has timeless stamped all over it when it landed on our desk, but after years it was time to bring it out of the vault and give it new life! we called on restless souls new generation jose carretas to take a walk down memory lane and give us his take on this record we loved all so much... hope all enjoy this one as much as we do and play it loud!

mutant clan is the mysterious alter-ego of long serving electronic music veterans timo maas and santos. after a small handful of heavyweight eps on labels like connaisseur and sci + tec, its time for this undoubtedly talented duo to unleash their next batch of weapons on figure spc. the considerably epic we are fuses classic elements of tweaking acid, bright jacking drums and an extended, open-ended arrangement that floats atop a choir of celestial rave angels…! built for cavernous techno meccas, or up-close and personal basement sweat-boxes alike. in comparison the deephouse tones of i feel the sense retain the excellent production values that we ve come to expect from this pair, and take a trip down a dubbed and shuffling melodious path. uplifting, summery and full of clever, climbing effects its a lighter , yet by no means lesser, trip!

the motor, the city and soul do return to one of the longest running deephouse labels on the planet. with almost 40 releases and still kicking and keeping vinyl alive this release is no exception. matthias vogt & c-rock join forces again and the two present a heavy loaded package of deep house. with sascha dive and jay shepheard we got two men of the moment to remix -cipher- and all four mixes turned out to be just amazing. sascha dives remix is built on driving beats and develops big time floor potential. vogt re-arranged cipher into an epic musical master piece that incorporates his piano skills. stir15 label head c-rock strips the whole thing down to a deep and tripped out dub and jay shepheard follows his last releases and deivers a stellar deep tech-house groover. a box full of house in different blends. after satoshi tomiees -back to basics- this is another amazing release that already made big waves housefloors around

story continues its immaculate run of bottom-heavy deephouse with 4 special treats from this british underground figure that make an earthquake like introduction to the scene with 3 anonymous 12inches only that are already sought after and destined to become collectors items. an acid house veteran that followed the whole uk rave progression to harder techno, he harks back to his early influences with his productions by building his dense, jacking slo-mo house grooves around hip-hop and soul samples. cuts like >the rub< or >dh13< and take their time to slowly sneak-up on you casting a bigger and bigger shadow until you are totally immersed in the smoky, dub-filled atmosphere that has a similar feel to the psychedelic soul of motowns norman whitfild or the rzas mystic hip-hop soundscapes. >whobadu< trades for 4/4 pattern for a looser, handclapping 80s funk groove that should cross-over into the box of every more discerned hip-hop dj, while >olufeme< is a stripped down, fela style afro groover with mighty dubbed-out horn loops. four tracks that will keep all you dancers, booty shakers and headnodders happy for a long time

while everyone is still getting down to the naughty neighbour ep, you lucky people have the follow up audiomontage nugget entitled the fun kit ep. theres no stopping the jimpster man at the moment and here we find him in finest form yet with an absolutely devastating piece of minimal, deep, jackin house...

massive feedback by : markus fix, dj sneak, doc martin, ray okpara, nick holder, jimpster, m.in, dj wild, andre crom, inland knight, mark farina !
it has been a while since fries & bridges have released anything but that was never going to last forever and the aptly title forever this was certainly worth the wait. the boys use old school skippy beats with a filtered bassline accompanied by the sweetest of vocals which is perfect last tune of the night material. theres also an instrumental for those who prefer a heads down mix...

after two highly acclaimed releases, enclave recordings return with an outstanding debut ep from irish dj/producer conor rogan. cogan delivers an impressive well rounded package which stands head and shoulders above most of the generic house music thats been flooding the scene these days. the title track >78<, is an infectious, hypnotic number with its roots firmly grounded in the golden era of funk and soul. expect mayhem at the disco when the groove kicks in towards the end where the slapped bass, chopped guitar, and flute take the track to another level.
next up is channels where rogan shows his deep techno influences by weaving layers of rhodes chords in and out of the mix. a low slung funky bassline and tight rhythm section, make this a top notch people mover guaranteed to electrify dancefloors from dublin to detroit.
soulville is a stripped down percussion driven house workout, while option completes the journey on a deep, moving tip perfect for early evening or late night selections. all in all, an essential tool for the versatile house dj.

a1: daniel bovie & roy rox have been struck by lightning i guess!! together with haze they are set for a real crossover hit record.

return to form (take that, haters!) hits at the body repeatedly, slamming away with a lack of abandon and a new sense of protocol. major stars are known for being psychedelic rock journeymen (and journey lovin women), but of late, their rocks psych roots seem to be dyed platinum white, with a truckers cap shoved on top of the whole mess. its jukebox ready hard rock with a hallucinogenic edge, sure ? or perhaps its just the impact of their triple guitar git down, causing your head to throb with concussive force? dont worry, long time star children ? these guys still jam, but they ve got short numbers too, and wailing, roadhouse vocals sailing over the punch ups. a terrific variety, but a return to form? pffft! what form? these guys have been in plasma state forever! whatever form it takes, thats what it is. and major stars are presently shining on in white dwarf style ? compacted, but with a violent gleam.

treated with love by ellen allien, josh wink, laurent garnier, robag wruhme, mathias kaden, adultnapper, butane, donk boys, falko brocksieper, james teej, nick höppner, the cheapers, mr.statik, sonja moonear, vincent lemieux... music with its seven notes, coming back to its first one at the octave: simple, limitless and ad infinitum. this is the next clever coup from zurich.
>ave leo< is an homage to life. the three guys from pompelmoessap lay it on thick and dally over a tenderly melting melody, skillfully play with shakers, drum cuts and low deep down effects. evoking a conjuring atmosphere that gets under your skin. the groove is right. the sun rises, early in the morning at the club.
on the b-side you will find a collectible, an everlasting trip of melancholic club couch music with bob dylans cultural message from the 70ies. ion ludwig looks at >spiritual devil< as a kind of protest against all those 2d digitally recycled techhouse sounds, which are released every day en masse. here plays timeless music for connoisseurs who want to feel and think while listening. smoke some weed before listening. peace.

excellent groovin deep dubby techno!
a couple of weeks ago some records were delivered into our warehouse in error. i put one of them on the turntable, preparing to ridicule it. how surprised i was then when it turned out to be as good as this. when i tracked down the label owner and asked him for sales notes i was sent the following:
>sales notes: limited to 200 copies worldwide.<
techno music without hype, as it should be.

entropic minus six contains four tracks selected from peter van hoesens forthcoming album. the mission of these four tunes is clearly aimed at the dancefloor. terminal kicks off this ep with an acidic, addictive bassline, supported by a solid kick drum traveling up and down the scales. strip it, boost it throws swinging metallic percussion at the listener, using only a few elements to maximum effect. on the flip side quartz 1 presents the story of a runaway slap bass riff, twisting and turning into a mad machinefunk frenzy. defense against the self opts for a more atmospheric approach, while maintaining the focus on the peters essential bass heavy sound. essential heavy bass, stripped down, machine influenced techno!

side a: features “depth of my soul” soulful and deep house blend in this down tempo jam. but slower bpms only add style and atmosphere to the track. side b: where is the compassion - the soulful component is still pretty strong yet. it designs a journey through feelings, typical of a warehouse rave. again echoes of a recent past, still very poignant. vibes reveals a more jazzy/boogie ambient. to many ears those vibes shared are not mysterious at all in the origin. still this is a very cool, current adaptation to the dancefloor. massive release!!

a1 jerome is tipped as the next superstar dj and hold that sucker down is a step in the good direction ,)a2 hit record from belgian hit maker dj rebel! being licensed out in practically every territory! b1 bacon popper one of the highlights on the new regi in the mix vol 8 compilation! now finally available on vinylb2 remember sunshine from the filterheadz & tomas? clubzound have put it in a 2010 jacket!

just in time to warm the winter months up north (and soundtrack some seriously dreamy summer nights down south) comes a very special remix package for mirko lokos album >seventynine<, featuring three certified legends of house and techno: carl craig, ricardo villalobos and cadenzas own master of ceremonies, luciano. and when we say >very special<, we mean it: these are big tunes with a deceptively subtle touch, and their sleight-of-hand moves are going to turn all types of dance floors upside down.

a salute to the boobs. claudes super low down, >big n round< gets a supremely filthy treatment by some of his favorite producers of the year. the a-side is maetriks smashing >feel dem boobies< mix, a relentless tech funk bomb with a heavy beat rooted deep in the earth. the flip is the amazing holger zilske, delivering a super freaky computer-flavored funk mix.
claude vonstrokes hit album >bird brain< has been remixed by some of the best producers in the world from carl craig to robag whrume. dirtybird has decided to release the majority of remixes on vinyl in a series of very limited pressings throughout the next few months. each record will have 300 copies only.

all out war recs present two vintage greg wilson edits, originally debuted at his comeback gig at music is better (mcr) in december 2003.
anyone who has heard the classic >music is better< mix cd will already know and love these tracks... two quintessential gw reworks finally available on 12 inch vinyl!

3 techno funk cuts tailored to the dancefloor. support by gregor tresher, anja schneider, patrick lindsey, tim xavier, mathias mesteno, someone else & micro.fon artists m.in, sabb & dualton!! cut 1 sports a slow-mo groove peaking with classically instrumented breakdowns which then immediately dissolve into the stripped down dark groove again. b1 contains dirty vocals and a strong techno groove. b2 is a murder bassline cut with nice percussive work and interesting little grooves

following up the dancefloor smasher that was i thought inside out, deadmau5 and chris lake join forces once again to bring you i said. the original mix is all about the killer, heads down groove, dirty tom led drums provide a perfect base for the jittery percussion, deep bass and bleeping synths, which all push into breakdown of epic proportions. michael woods returns to mau5trap after smashing his remix of the might strobe

hot from his immensely popular jungle laps track on john digweeds bedrock 11 lp, marco bailey is about to cause a major commotion with this stunning new 4-track ep. watch out! as the man says... its a burning, all consuming drive that can only be calmed down by getting into the music.

round no. 2 for the alex baus credo repaints, this time featuring the long term techno-heavyweight chris liebing and the uprising jonas kopp from argentina. chris keeps close to the original of >full method jacket<, a track he has been playing frequently, adding his own flavour in a very impressive way. jonas turns >lofi micro< into a stripped down and arrangement-wise more relaxed version, but his precise drumming and sound-design makes this remix becoming something completely new. full points again and already massive dj-support from a like abba to z like zz top :-)

support by luciano, reboot, sebo k, raresh, nuick curly.... chris carrier, one of the most respected names of the french underground house scene for more than 10 years, delivers his debut ep for off recordings. la fabourienne is the kind of peaktime tracks that you know and love off for, jacking grooves, a strong bassline and an infectious saxophone theme will turn your dancefloor upside down – guaranteed! jeudi is a completely different affair – a laidback sparse groove, garnered with 100% self-played live instruments and percussions show carriers deeper side, making this outstanding piece of music the deepest and most musical track released on off so far. william kouam djoko, one of biggest fresh talents of amsterdams ever-growing house scene, delivers a unique interpretation of jeudi for his friend and house-hero mr. carrier, straightening the deep original into a twisted techno-jazz-experience for the feet and the heart in two interpretations: the vinyls perky mix is more aimed at the dancefloor, while the trippy aftermath mix is perfect for afterhours. the ep is finished by cycles gladiator, a deep and timeless housetool typical for mr. carrier, perfect for the earlier or later hours of the night

since his last release on circus company (fleurette ccs033), djulz add been quite busy in the sutdio. he did a lot of remixes for slam on soma, matthew dear on get physical, 2000 & one on 100%, arnaud le texier on 20:20 vision and spencer parker on rekids. hes now back with a freshly baked 3 tracker called rotondo. thats also the track title of the a side. rotondo is techy and slightly dark. there you feel a constant pressure that will leeds you to euphoric pad which is just a simple saxophone screaming sample. on the b side we are getting into some naïve and housy feeling with on the road. then ideas are fishes is closing down the record on catchy vocal hook. that king of track to keep the party rolling. once again d julz delivers some great cuts that should be soon on rotondo everywhere

it was in november 2009 when professor dr. geiger presented his epoch-making invention to the public. of course, everyone was really excited, because this invention was said to shake the music industry to its very foundations. from now on, billions of mp3, cd, music cassette as well as ordinary record players should just be scrap, and completely out-of-date. todays dj, one could read in the manual, no longer needs all this. from now on, everything he needs is a 69 bux.
- just fill up to 11.5 liters of liquid vinyl into the vinylator
- internet on
- select track
- press the bum bum button
as soon as the record has been finished and cooled down, the techno-mkx-arm will put it on automatically. you do not need any additional player. we recommend to use an oak wood table. for the next generation, more functions such as autosurf or automix are being planned. 3-phase, variable control: warm-up, party, go home.

for our 3rd release, we are proud to present an important fixture and compatriot of the underground elec-tronic scene of milan, the inimitable luca doobie. while his recent, groove oriented brand of house has been well documented and received on labels such as freerange and safari electronique (among many others), we are happy to have secured a veritable bomb of an ep, entitled _south america_. comprised of 3 original productions, it perfectly showcases luca_s abilities as a producer and arranger, whether he is rocking the dense tribal-esque beats on the titular _south america_ or utilizing driving, swinging basslines such as the one in _backward_ or even venturing into heads down, hypnotic techno territories as he so effortlessly does in _nepture_. already supported by ellen allien, ivan smagghe, mistress barbara, mark knight, cristian varela, onionz, simon & shaker, technasia, gel abril, eric entrena, terry francis, omid 16, desyn masiello

zernell and goodking are back with the second volume of their grimy edits series! this ones a monster with a ferocious double action edit that we challenge any disco head to id! a little motown, a little funk, another essential release from grimy.

support: steve bug, jay haze, someone else, mark henning, matt star, pan pot, agaric, jason emsley!!! 2009 has been an extremely busy year for billy dalessandro. on top of having recently relocated from his hometown of chicago to montreal, the year has marked his most engaging yet in terms of gigging and musical output. along with a successful three-month european tour, billy released a string of highly acclaimed singles, and his latest artist album (not to mention his growing catalog under the huge hephner and tyrone aliases). however, it should come as no surprise that the producer has saved the best for last.
>strombooty< (for details, consult your local urban dictionary) is the modern dalessandro sound, combining heady experimentation with dance floor prowess. the eps title track is a deep, yet explosive number that creeps in subtly like dark clouds on the horizon, before raining down a devastating thunderstorm over the speakers.
the latin-flavored >el tapatio< and super-deep cut >speak to me< make up the b-side. although the tracks represent different aspects of the dalessandro sound, the commonality they share is a thoughtful approach to dance music that much of the formulaic output these days lacks.

another effortlessly excavated and amended quartet of surefire, cone rattling club cuts. all four tracks have been, as ever, lovingly reduced to their bare essence, ensuring they re as indispensible as the mangled label they re on alongside the much hyped forthcoming release on dfa ray mang has been behind a plethora of releases on labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic etc etc over the years and has cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right as well a studio engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys, glimmers & many more. ray has delivered yet again!! as always, only one limited pressing will be available - you know the deal!

will eastman has been holding down dcs clubs for the better part of a decade with his sensationally successful bliss dance parties. his remixes have received critical praise, along with his dj sets in dc, across the u.s. and in europe. his first foray into original dance music, feelin to be released as a 12inch on plant, is a groovy house/disco/rave tune that gets reworked by his good pals nadastrom, tittsworth & nakassis, and dmerit. he and jesse tittsworth are opening a new club in dc, u street music hall, slated for early 2010. wherever eastman goes, insane dancing follows.

right on the heels of our previous bass/electro smasher, we hit you with the most anticipated house/disco record of recent times. helsinki 78-82 is a project by top billin team members flipper & koobra, whove always been active and always been down to bring something new to the label. while flipper is part of the top billin dj team and has always been the most high-flying of us, so no wonder the the new 12inch is some musical bliss thatll leave you feeling that good good. this is what we call big city house music, when youre cruising the streets at night with the top down - no words needed. in a manner michael mann would be proud of. so lifelike is a sort of remake of lifelikes great so electric (under permission), although this time it comes with vocals from our great helsinki new wave partners villa nah. if you are in need of a new end-nighter, this is it. cruising is a tune full of that pumping big city feel with driving drums and great synth work that will get them ladies on the floor and will fit into those funky house / modern disco sets. we even have a video for it, but its a different kind of cruising than you think (no al pacino)…

2017 repress, with jamie and i being die hard fans of prince, i knew that once we sat down to work on this >prince-like< vocal track, the outcome might turn out epic… and it did! >nasty things< became an instant anthem for our dj sets. two takes on the talking heads on the reverse to round it all out

deep a & biri have been involved in the tel aviv house scene for some time. with this 3 track ep plus digital bonus track they give their debut now.
>twisted tango< is the most stripped down of all three tracks and a real cool groover. one of these tracks that grow enormously with volume and space. these two guys have got a good vision of how dance music should be to clad the clubbers in cotton batting. their cool way of transmitting indifference has always been the carrier of sensuality and sexiness in entertainment and it does create a certain kind of peppermint stench here. the vocals stabs in this one work like dubby elements which deep a & biri drop like things dropping out of your pocket.
>mischievous< is a perfect bassline monster... deep and heavy with a genius >pam pam< vocal stab. we dont know where these samples come from but they are luscious as hell. welcome to the pleasure dome!
>hine gama< is as cool as the two other tracks but but a little more laissez-faire fair. we dont think that anybody will be able to resist this bright light brown colour it shows with all its reflections of intensive sunbeams shining in.
this release fits perfectly to the last release on trapez ltd.

swinging jazzy house tune!!

the idea of this first maracana was to include the past, present and future of the musical style of suruba, edit tracks from some of the classics in suruba as tigerskin or spektre or even los suruba themselves, artists that have worked well and with whom we are bound in a great friendship like marc depulse and these who are going to a new sound as it is the case with uner.

tonbaumeister’s love for electronic music roots deep in the late eighties when he got his first computer, a commodore c-64, and when he instantly fell for the distinctive sounds of its sid chip. always driven by this passion he since then devoted himself to producing electronic music on various computing platforms and with multiple different programs to discover and soon constantly reinvent his own style. growing up in hessen, in the very heart of germany, he was deeply influenced by the endlessly evolving styles of house music and techno, which shaped the face of the vibrant club culture in cities like frankfurt and kassel. although tonbaumeister’s style might prematurely be declared as house music, the diversity of his productions makes it almost impossible to put them in a box and label them. his energetic tracks range from straight house to tech house to almost dark technoid characteristics, but suddenly one finds oneself surpr ised by the aforementioned sounds of late eighties computer games embedded in a psychedelic landscape with rough sawtoothy baselines. as hard as it is to pin down his production style, it is even harder to label his dj sets, which, as well as his productions, constantly evolve and morph while mirroring all of tonbaumeister’s influences. since 1999 he developed a passion for djing and he has had the chance to transport his enthusiasm into a number of clubs, infecting many clubbers with his verve. at the moment he is about to launch his own label subclinical

vinyl only release !!! you didnt think we would let you go after just one hit, did you? rest assured, what you just heard was the gong ringing round two! shimmy sham. the act of getting a piece of the muffin… in the end, just anoooooooother word for sex. lets try our new knowledge in a sentence, shall we: silky soul singer: hey lady, so how tonight you let me get a lil shimmy sham grace mendoza: whaaaaaaats going on with you? i see no ring on those fingers!?!?! in the heat of the night, let those sweaty numbers melt down any worries. no top hat and gator shoes required… just shake that ass.

the waiting is finally over! after all the ups and downs of the past year, we can happily report that joshua eustis now firmly intends to continue telefon tel aviv as a solo project. in order to mark his decision with a bang, thewonderful title track >immolate yourself< is being released as the second single from the current lp. the song has been entrusted to highly acclaimed and diverse remix artists who have skilfully stripped down the epic album track to more club-friendly formats.
the a side is delivered by label-mate thomas muller, whose finely detailed techno soundscapes can now be enjoyed on five bpc 12 inch releases. his >immolate< remix takes a much more direct approach. he reduces the lush arrangement of the original to a powerful basic framework, leaves out the vocals almost entirely, and creates a surprise when the track crumbles into sonic chaos towards the end.
miss fitz aka maayan nidam has had singles released on labels including raum musik and freak n chic, and these have been remixed by renowned artists such as ricardo villalobos. her version of >immolate< also makes a clear break from the album track and serves up her very own brand of abstract, dancefloor-friendly house. once again, all the opulence of the original is thrown overboard, a dry beat is placed at the centre of the arrangement and enriched with sinuous vocals.
ben klock needs no further introduction - he is the epitome of the bleak, hard minimal sound. his album >one< is currently available on ostgut ton, and as a remixer he has earned the highest acclaim for his version of depeche modes >peace<. bens >jack mix< is fittingly titled and lives up to all the expectations of the name. the track is stripped back to a resounding, hammer-like beat framework - minimised for maximum effect.
bpitch legend sascha funke delivers a surprise with another astoundingly reduced remix, at least by his standards. he turns away from the melodic richness of his current album >mango< in favour of repetitive fragments and an extended arc of tension which will surely make his >immolate< remix a massive after-hour hit.

daniel steinberg and front room are like annoyingly sexy couples that you end up in the next hotel room to on a company business trip. except of course daniel steinberg and front room dont actually have sex they just literally make sweet music together. the spiciness continues with the preacherman ep, daniel steinbergs fifth release on front room recordings. punctuated with the exotic and the kind of twists, bumps and energy that only steinberg can provide, preacherman kicks off a cacophony of funk fuelled head nodding to get any party pulsating. “you need love” with its in-your-face vocal, huge beat and sleazy decelerating breakdown has future classic written all over it. the long awaited tiefschwarz remix of “lucky sauce” also sees the light of day here in full effect and breathes a new layer of ‘wow’over a release that is only really just beginning to simmer down from its release in june. wonked out groover who stopped the music rounds proceedings off nicely on an ep that is audio proof that the stroke of his talent only gets more precise and dazzling with every release. daniel steinbergs releases are supported by the likes of ricardo villalobos, luciano, claude vonstroke and richie hawtin to name drop a few. watch this space for daniel steinbergs artist album coming out on front room in 2010

2009 re-release of this classic cypress hill album, including >i wanna get high<, >insane in the brain<, >hits from the bong< and many more. one fat timeless joint on double 180gr vinyl!

as the third single released in anticipation of scott hansen’s long-awaited full-length as tycho, “coastal brake” may be the best yet—a sweet slice of dream-beat that glides over the ocean surface like a high-speed waverider. “coastal brake”’s vintage synthesizers set the pointillistic scene, blipping and popping around a near-balearic rhythm like melancholy drops in a river, rising and falling and building to a shimmering climax. it’s not quite dance music—more like tycho’s soft-focus take on the escapist beauty of house music. the single’s three remixes do the original ample justice. danish producer (and syntaks collaborator) manual takes “coastal brake” at half-time and shoots it full of feedback, bringing a scorched-earth weight to the proceedings, while hatchback’s “cosmic caviar dub version” turns down the contrast and places the song in a cave full of drugged-out pianos. lusine hacks up “coastal brake” and repurposes the bits for his own stutter-stepping, downbeat funk. listen closely, and you’ll hear shards of “coastal brake” sparkling in between the beats. limited edition (1000 copies) of tychos >coastal brake< on 180 gram vinyl including alternate artwork poster. tycho is the music project of san francisco artist and producer scott hansen. as tycho, hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend into the horizon. known in the design world as iso50, hansen is famed for his bucolic, sun-drenched design style, which serves as a backdrop and mirror for his musical output.

stevie kotey gives the bear some funk on this 2004 release.

catalog number 004 on four roses recordings is yet another sublime release of the motor city drum ensemble. following the success of his first single for frr, breath control, danilo plessow this time brings us two quite unique tracks: the a side (sunsequence) being a dark, repetitive and haunting piece of post detroit techno which continuously builds layer upon layer, until it finally explodes: the pulsewave drones, jupiter chords and 808 patterns will cause maximum effect on the dancefloor. feel the love on the b side slows things down a little, but keeps the dark mood, adding some of that old school sample flavour to create a trippy afterhour track, that sounds different from anything you ve heard lately. ltd restock
