session victim are back with yet more 21st century explorations into the thing we call house. it s been a busy 12 months for the german duo since they re previous delusions outing, maintaining momentum by releasing some of the most inventive, warm, deep and soulful music on a host of vinyl orientated labels such as real soon, hairy claw and retreat

its been 18 months since our first nang release, d-pulses >more<. nestled on that release was an extra ep track called >highway to saturn<. much to our delight it turned out to be a bit of a gem. when it featured on the tirk 02 and kitsune ponystep / jerry bouthier compilations we knew we were all onto something. (cue the overdrive and the interstellar vocal.) slovenian-based, us singer, hannah mancini, provides those cosmic vocals, ably recorded by sare havlicek in sunny ljubljan. after a sly re-titling of the track (to avoid confusion with the original the name has been extended to >on a highway to saturn<) its on to the obligatory over-the-top nang remix package...first up is a new version from d-pulse for those long summer nights. their >australian shore reversion< mix slows down the groove to a balmy evening by noosa shores pace. space-rock, guitar solos, smouldering synths and lazy rhythms all combine to make this one for the beach house. sare havlicek adds a couple of mixes of his own. keeping things hi-energy he goes for the disco jugular with his trademark stabby synths and tight production. nang newcomers, proper heat, strip things back and go for a slow-grooving baltic-disco chugger. rounding off the remix package is japanese based jan ken po (aka max essa). he delivers a dance floor friendly version with a big and bold walking bass riff and tasteful synths

nice price deal !!! for their fifth release todd bodine (highgrade, treibstoff, mothership) joined the cologne based label klangfarbe schallplatten and created a high-quality ep, which is hard to find today. duplexer (a1) initially allocates with bongos in space, to furthermore stabilize itself with more bass, percussion and volume, which leads into a durable, massive flow that s willing to persist bigger club duties as well. alpha (b2) is structurized akin to duplexer, but celebrates the true force, the true might of minimal by the use of consistently repetition of beat- and sound patterns as also psychedelic acid-parts in good, old plastikman tradition. morning breeze on b2 finally starts warmer and more housy, in a deep and easy lean-back manner, to distinctly cool down after a while and to approach the previous tracks. after all, the from nowhere to somewhere ep constitutes an extremely coherent ep, where it s obvious, that all three tracks mate together - as they are

umami who just collaborated with aka aka now join nicone with this late summer dancefloor smasher on side a: i come to you (incl. nicone remix)! umami who claim to make songs not tracks prove this on side b where they not only remixed nicones hanaetano but gave it an additional catchy vocal line. >im down on my knees<! limited to 500 picture sleeves!!

berghain resident marcel fengler is one of the frontmen of raw and forward pushing techno. judging by his previous three eps for the label, its clear to see how fenglers work revolves around a love for tough, angular and edgy tools for the floor. this fourth offering continues the energy with three jacking, factory-forged tracks leading us further down his mysterious path.

whether hes producing singalong house anthems (la mezcla) or hard edged tech house (red tape), michel cleis obsession with sound has seen him garner a reputation as one of electronic musics most exciting production forces. with recent remixes such as tracey thorns >why does the wind?< and harrison crumps >deep down inside< still rocking dance floors aplenty, cleis next solo move has understandably been an eagerly anticipated one.

mr white returns with a 3 track special. this is the follow up to the sun cant compare, the 2007 highlight - and once again this does not let you down. back with his mentor larry heard who brings the best out of the uplifting vocalist. side a - aeroplane lifts and drives on this tech-house journey. on the flip heard treats use to his deep world of house - larry at his best with mr whites twisted vocals on inside your mined. they round off the ep with you dont answer - a cross over tack of pure electronic pop simplicity.
