supported by italoboyz (mothership), robin porter (immigrant), tom clark (highgrade), woody (fumakilla) and many more.. martin tc and guikle are about to join the cynosure family and raise the bar for the label once more. sugar morph is magical blend of stripped down south american grooves combined with a slick synth bass hook and layers upon layers of deep effects and modulated percussion. already catching the attention of a few dj greats this track is sure to weave into many crates this summer. on the flip side monoblock keep the flow with lalala. an excellent number designed for a sweet dip in the mix followed by the ultra funky tweaked house groove untone. super shuffled layers of quirky percussion lay the carpet for a power house rhodes/bass drop. with an ultra funky walking bassline taking control of the groove and driving things to a boiling point

after the hypnotic ethereal sound of stream of consciousness and the rootsy down home feeling of the nakusanga ep, an underground buzz began about what would come next from the bu mako label. the fragments ep establishes jenifa mayanja as a serious artist unafraid of pushing boundaries, branching into the unexpected, quietly seducing the listener without beating down the senses into submission. while jenifa mayanja makes no declaration as to what genre she may be classified into, the music has no problem resting comfortably between deep house, future jazz, downtempo, detroit tech and electronica.

last part of the vinyl edition of their new album… in a collectors sleeve ! the final part of >the life we choose< album series begins with >the question remains<. this track features three 303s, which modulate in perfect harmony through to the typical break-down, which hardfloor created in their cult track >acperience 1< back in 1992! >… me, three< - this is, at 131 bpm, the >fastest track< on the album. acid-techno at its best. please note - this part comes in the full album cover (in which you can also put in parts 1 & 2)

right after the slowenian takeover with umeks last offering, huntemann graces his confused label alongside his production partner andre walter. crs on the aside is a very hypnotic and stripped down journey thru time and space with killer arpeggios, impressive sound-spheres and a very basic and irresistible rhythm. drp on the flipside is a bit deeper with house trenched drums, a monstrous bass-sound preaching evil to all mankind and tight synthesizer stabs.

big with: john acquaviva, ivan smagghe, umek, mark knight, mason, stephan bodzin, rui da silva, johnathan ulysses, tomcraft, moonbootica, dj delicious, namito, zoo brazil, groove rebels, ascii.disko, delon & dalcan, tom wax,… 2007 will go down in history as a year of many happenings and the release of envy my music records 2nd single will definitely crystallise itself to be an outstanding one. marathon by bastian heerhorst is already one of the best tracks to hit the scene this autumn. the remixes by internationally acclaimed superproducer tocadisco and the emm records in-house wonder butch interpret >marathon< in their very own typical prime-time sound and complete this release to plainly be the must-have record for the club-season. definitely the floor-filler and hit of late 2007!

nice price deal !!! having previously recorded disco sucks vol.3 for bill brewsters disco sucks label! this 12 is actually his first release under this name, and what a way to start. a. takes on n.e.r.d she wants to move featuring the hip hop allstars (q tip, de la soul, jungle brothers, native tongue) and turns it in to a disco hip house monster! a guaranteed floor filler! b1. get down, samples the classic new york disco punk funk tune connie case, and turns it into an electro disco house belter. b2 is a down tempo baldelli style, cosmic/slo motion flavour, ideal tune for the beginning or the end of the night!

part 2/2 of this limited edition with borken down beats

part 1/2 of this limited edition with borken down beats

gerard hanson aka convextion aka e.r.p. comes with one of his best records so far. a bit more electro influenced then his down low outings but similar to his earlier frantic flowers release

karat lässt sich nicht lumpen & präsentiert mit the mole, cabanne, les cerveaux lents (ark + mikael weill) und antislash ein festival der grossen namen und deren musik

tracks by young buck feat outlawz, 50 cent feat nicole scherzinger and the fabolous dj jazzy jeff feat raheem devaughn

>kroy menya…< had been in our record boxes since it first appeared on scsi-9s excellent and highly acclaimed >digital russian< lp back in 2003. liking it as much as we did we though itd be rather nice to give it a leg up into the year 2007 with a nice lil rmx package. so firstly we employed the services of moon harbour starlets and all round good uns luna city express to give it a rub down in the form of their >lovely luna people< rmx

new dabruck & klein remix plus original mix of the big hit from down under. massive uk hype!!!

stripped-down but funky minimal chicago tracks by noleian reusse & jamal moss..

japanese dj & producer altz also drops in on the remastered dfa label. enlisting the help of nu disco dons idjut boys this ep features the altz original productions max motion & yello plus two stellar remixes of yello done up by the boys aptly titled hoe down & dub down mixes.

after a short break highland beats is back with a new sound and a new start. release number 40 coincides with highland beats 12 and a half year anniversary. supernova jan liefhebber and studio partner nimbuz get back down to basics with solid driving track. the minimalistic deep bass lines amalgamate with an spontaneous melody at the steady pace of 130 bpm

lifting by name and very much by nature, this is high energy, bouncy house music that elates you for the duration. the rough, thudding base drums that are a feature of the track are smoothed over by elegant strings and soft keys. shena plays the euphoric songstress to perfection, while the brass and bassline led crescendo will leave even the most cynical of clubbers looking for a space on the dancefloor. marc grant calms things down a little for his remix, utilising casio esque keys, imaginative synths and poppin basslines, while letting shenas vocal speak for itself.

supported by richie hawtin, tiefschwarz, loco dice, miss kittin , jussi pekka & many others!! again providing you with two new high quality techno tunes. on the a side we present you the tune: >tuna belly< , which is taken from the forthcoming full lenght, >martinez< album on re:connected, due for release later this year. the track starts off with a pounding deep kick-drum and a heavey roland sh-101 baseline. quickly after some heavey snares, claps and some underwaterish bubble sounds enter onto the groove and the track is steady rolling towards its peak break down. the baseline is filtered and tweaked through layers of efx into just a high pitched noise that is just on the edge of getting too much and right at that time it sweeps back into the full groove with a slaming hihat to lift the track even more. >tuna belly< is one of those track that definitely will make you go crazy on the dance floor in the late hours

firm fave of: ewan pearson, agoria,fabrice lig, ali schwarz, shinedoe, ben watt, jimpster, umek, bodzin !!! pele is back, this time in cooperation with shokh aka dave shokh, dipolder label owner and kiddaz.fm ambassador. peles last release >childhoods end< is one of connaisseur most successful releases so far in 2007, with plenty of licensings for many important summer compilations. thumbs was already released as a limited 250 copies white label release in february this year. finally this great rumbling techno track found its way to connaisseur, to be presented to a bigger audience. >thumbs< is a squeaky, twittery and kickin minimal techno track packed with a bunch of little astonishing moments. already featured on patrick chardronnets grand cru mix, this is more than a perfect mixing tool: a stripped down minimal hymn, no redundant emotions, strictly rhythm a quality ass-shaker! simon baker leeds-based shooting star of 2007. after his amazing releases on playhouse, connaisseur, viva and his own imprint infant, he drops this massively bouncing techno monster of a remix. kind of chicagoesque, kind of daft and massively pushing pure peaktime madness!

second part of >dont be leftout<) with groovin & hypnotical tracks by alexi delano, marc ashken (cb funk remix), andrea ferlin (ambivalent remix) and molex... already played by troy pierce, steve lawler, ivan smagghe, danilo vigorito, mike monday, jeff samuel, laurent garnier, mistress barbara

more deep chicago house magic from the label that started it all. veterans bernard badie and vocalist extraordinaire dajae teaming up on this three track gem, a bumping deep and moody floor filler with a typically catchy cajual vocal. train is the main cut on this one, featuring a tight tracky beat, some up and down bass and a nice array of warm keys, definitely in line with vintage mark grant/cajmere/glenn underground vibe. now is more of a stomping dub, with a hypnotic vocal cut up over a tough building funk house groove. another winner from the home of the windy city house sound.

played by andrew grant (dc 10 , ibiza), agaric, sarah goldfarb, someone else, troy pierce, remute and many more !! the new berlin based avant-garde label minimood releases a stunning debut feat. foundsound co-head fusiphorm and vidabs koljah. the green chocolate ep unleashes a high-quality triple serving of dextrous and sophisticated minimal click alchemy. fusiphorms a1 >green chocolate< lays down an early solid foundation by intertwining a pulsating bassline with minimal chipped beats to create a driving shuffling rhythm. as the suspense builds up, the track suddenly explodes into a grizzling, throbbing dance floor monster. with >mister blue< on b1, fusiphorm moves into deeper territory as he takes you on a journey through a bubbling industrial post-digital landscape. koljahs really gets down to business on b2 with his exploding cake recipe for how to make cake from green chocolate

funky, disco infected piano house gem with strong female vocals and a huge horn section. flip over for a more stripped down tribalistic dabo remix

train of thought is not only significant for being the latest album by detroit legend terrence dixon but for being yores premiere full length release. the albums tracks range from 80s sounding cybotron like excursions to raw, stripped down techno and warm, chord driven house alike tunes. the double vinyl set includes rapturous settings of synthetic sound and swinging cuts whose burbling keys, pounding kick drums, and brisk hi hats evoke the brilliant sheen of detroit techno. though his music may invite comparison to drexicya and atkins, dixons music often imitated but never duplicated ultimately stands alone.

its with a big smiley grin on our faces that we present this killer soul funk r&b nugget from the almighty mr phil asher (aka restless soul). together with uk vocalist zansika they mash things up with a combination of raw break beats (spot the break) and soulful vocals which will appeal to anyone who ever got down to ameries one thing or beyonces crazy in love. basically, we got a full on floor filler that should go down with both r&b/soul heads just as well as the retro funk community. once again mr asher has joined the dots and delivered the goods...

here comes the storm ram by head honcho marco remus. as a follow up to the huge yet mysterious n34 release which adds a little nerven spice to some classic prodigy material, remus presents the butan ep. the ep is one of his most progressing works to date from the hands remus. the ep starts with a stripped down and mental jackhammer which has already shown its power during marcos world tour. the ep even comes with something more melodic and slightly more spaced out than you ve perhaps come to expect. a true masterpiece that will not only please the die hard followers of marco remus

ra-x s new record, only 300 copies, heavy industrial planet rock with sinister vocals. <inistry meets jim >foetus< thirwell!

quentin harris does it again, this time with the wonderful jill scott. >hate on me< is a gospel style vocal layered over a dope backing track that really hooks you in, tuned down congas, a stomping beat and a sick minimal bassline, basically this will kill it peak time in the club, women will love you for playing this record. over on b the vocals get majoritively removed on the >shelter dub< which does what it says on the tin

nick holder returns to nrk with a brand new single, combining a luscious deep house production & dreamy vocals from zaki. check the dub mix for some serious stripped down warehouse vibes

two of san franciscos hottest djs, monty luke and tasho bring us their very first release, a low down paranoid techno groove to keep you biting your nails and shaking your ass. todd bodine (tresor, highgrade, immigrant) rocks the remix adding the necessary bumpy tweaks and hot precision to make a great track even more freaky

following fondations first release - danton eeprom - these eyes/strictly erotics, cheerfully welcomed by djs, radios and press across europe - is the first ep of brwn shoes. this newcomer to the electronic scene played for long the role of observer, in the sweaty basements of london and valencia, before getting to djing and music production with panache, brio and attitude. brwn shoes sound is based on dirty, insistent monosyllabic basslines and superpositions of subtle notes and minimalistic gimmicks, providing moody, stripped-down pieces meant to drive the crowd and its dj corpus mentus. zeugma and tigers dont sleep are two perfect examples of this new breed of sound hes developing. crude, raw and sexy.

following his remix of i cried for you from scott ferguson and his subsequent release down edit on raum…musik, sascha dive now brings us his follow up ep, the basic collective part 2. on the a side you ll bold tracks strongly influenced by such artists as octave one, gary martin, dj rasoul or even the brothers vibe. in contrast on side b he returns to his basic roots and presents once more deep/detroit/minimal house music.

polaris/serenity shows jin chois more playful, deeper side with beautiful subtle melodies and surprising harmonic changes, latin esque percussions and echo cascades that pull you down to the ground. this is music for the sofas, the dancefloor and the beach. smiling faces guaranteed

next up on steppasoundz steps c.a.b.l.e. from brazil with the massively disgusting burning a multi layered blend of infinitely rolling breakbeats, filtered percussion & stomach churning bass. this track will pull your pants down & smack you across your arse with a plank of d&b varnished wood then spit in your face while you cry about it, in other words, its a little bit nasty! soul on the flip takes things a bit deeper with driving bass and skipping drum patterns. a soothing alternative to the blistering a side

gangsta audio returns with a progressive track by one of the biggest upcoming producers from the united states: dean coleman. the warm vocals are sure to send a shiver down your spine! with gangsta audios own nick k on the remix we have a great package for you

another dynamic instalment from the nagano kitchen duo (jerome sydenham & hideo kobayashi). these tracks continue the ibadan legacy of pushing the boundaries. >destination nagano< is a rhythmic tech house journey with classic chicago and detroit overtones in true ibadan style. >head<, on the other hand, is a stripped down beefy club track with a big techno beat and classic chicago chords. destined for term use.

classic detroit techno !!

the long awaited new unit 4 release (on a highly limited amontillado pressing of 300 copies with hand printed sleeves). deep dark powerfull track with a unusual combination of a dusseldorfer (kraftwerk-ian) electronica loop and a massive techno-ish bassline and funny enough without any hi-hats which gives the track a strange tension. b-side is a stripped down version with a long intro and outro. the very power full bass and a catchy hook line (reminiscent of their body dub) makes this a monster track... check!

after the classic reload with the clubby version of michael jacksons thriller, nice music releases the storming follow up - a cover version of the classic zz top track gimme all your lovin

promise land is a solid deep soulful groove created by koyla. the demo floated around the bombay itunes player for a few of weeks, we needed someone to tear this track up. we tried a couple of options it wasnt working this groove needed something killer. thats were good friend jrod indigo come into play, san fran neo soul singer decides to come into lovely vancouver to hang for a while at bombay studio hq, and thats were the story starts for this track. jrod writes and lays down his song and creates the promise land over koylas ripping hooks and players. everyone is diggin the direction, timmy comes in and throws in some backups, inhouse producers sean dimitrie and nav take all the parts and put together a b side. the awaaz mix takes the track into a late night bumping funky direction with ambient tripped out textures and hard detroit style chords. overall this is a classic style ep with a real organic disco avour, that will never die for us. koyla and jrod are true musicians and deserve the fullest respect in this genre.

next strike on fumakilla, this time new shots produced by french artist paul ritch, well known for his stunning releases on labels like get physical, resopal, kickboxer and paradigma, just to name a few….paul definitly knows how to create deep and smooth atmospheres, without sob stuff….he has resources against boredom!!!! fluffy basslines and soundscapes, a wicked little synth chord and a reserved drumwork starts the main track called > back to time<. after a short and constructive break the principal theme restarts, with a striking sound selection and harmonious arrangements. call it mini-trance, call it tech-house, or even detroit-tech, call it whatever, it doesn t make any differences, the main thing is, the boys and girls all over the world will boogie with a smile on their faces, and deservedly so….trip down memory lane!!!!on the flip another tune called >vaticans bell<, and also another straight forward goin up groove monster with pretty great arrangements and awesome placed strings. paul ritch plays the first violin, he knows how to produce a timeless masterpiece, reduced but heavily effective monster tracks at the end, come, look and see… 10 points to berlin again!!

marc antona makes his mobilee debut with this agile, wiry three-track ep . best known until now for his records for paris >freak n chic< label marc builds on the mobilee sound you have come to expect, with well-oiled rhythms, delicate pings and sub-bass rumble that knocks your feet out from under you. >one more sugar< rides along a loose-limbed groove splashed with bright arpeggios that rain down like liquid diamonds. ragged hi-hats aflare, tension builds and breaks like a ripped flag catching crosswinds. the track stretches toward the horizon, throwing up rolling hills and gliding down them as naturally as a champion cyclist. understated funk that packs a hidden punch...
