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.

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!

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
