the musical evolution of matthias tanzmann as producer is in full swing - a quick look over his releases and remixes of the last year reveals an ease and sophistication, as hefurther progresses the reduction of house music. and with great pleasure we get to provide his pinnacle of the year so far, >chano<, the two versions of the track demonstrating just where house can take you on the threshold of a new decade. the a side concentrates on a percussive rhythm and a lyrical vocal, its carefully placed sounds building the track into a dynamic and hypnotic whole. the b side of >chano< is arranged more classically - a deep chord, a clear beat, accentuated hi-hats and claps…

claire ripley, the london based producer and head of her new phobic records imprint sends over some lovely extended and hypnotic vibes with this magnifi cent four tracker, backed up by a classy remix by gorge of 8bit and cecille fame. just the right medicine as summer draws to a close! written and produced by herself, & engineered by justin drake, the ep captures all the excitement & promise that a new artist like claire exudes, plus the added bonus of having one half of peace division working the mix. nice! title track labyrinth introduces us into claires world with long, drifting arrangements full of tension and cooly placed melodic sentiments. deeply tuned, chunky drums work the floor while only a handful of carefully selected elements sing their tune. flirting between sunrise synth-lines and tingling atmospheric moments its a haunting adventure into modern hypno-house. gorges remix of >labyrinth< lifts the energy a notch with his trademark rolling drums and pushing energy from the very start. using the main hooks with discretion this 8 minute drum workout is a tough, addictive and essential club tool.

the new, first time ever on vinyl 2lp reissue of a long way around to a shortcut is somehow a greatest hits of the golden not quite decade of sic alps. well, not quite golden, either. can gold be tarnished? can it be done on purpose? if so, sic alps are artisans of the highest order - for their music is the bright, surging sound of ye olde rock & roll radio (and the garages that tuned in) heard through air darkened with specks of nameless obstruction. in and amongst their ingrown sounds, sic alps take on classic tunes from strapping field hands, throbbing gristle and the zipps on a long way around to a shortcut. it is to their credit that they completely absorb their estimated predecessors and create the only sound left to them: the sound of the sic alps. a long way around to a shortcut was issued as a cd in 2008. it collected songs that were first issued throughout the epic years of 2006 and 2007 on two 12inch eps, three 7inch singles and a cassette, plus a song from a compilation cd r and a song exclusive to this compilation. the records were originally given titles like united, strawberry guillotine, semi streets, hip hop sweepers vol 1, teenage alps, and the soft tour in rough form, but all these original releases are long gone.

we are very pleased to bring you g-club records next release, >360 days<. 360 days is a sublime slice of house from leeds duo tom noise & dan tait. we have also commissioned a new remix from none other than justin drake, aka one half of house maestros peace division. justin strips the track back, taking it deep and into minimal jacking territory, coupled with his synonymous peace division beats- this is a sure fire dance floor winner

hairy claw is rapidly returning to the forefront of deep, tracky late night house music following a sabatical. this new slice of nice comes from calculus (aka gary goodwin) and is formed of two excellent tracks. walrusman is a stabbing, chicago groove with undulating bass and loose drums making it a swaggering dancefloor bomb. its counterpart, pilot treads a trippier but more direct dancefloor path with a nagging groove, fluttering keys and an incessant bassline. both tracks have seen support from ame, sasse (mood music), sebbo, solomun, justin drake (peace division), david alvarado, tania vulcano (dc10), rub & tug, trickski and many more

dj/producer justin drake of peace division and accomplished dance music enthusiast and producer nicole moudaber join forces to remake this legendary house track and aim it directly at the 2007 ibiza crowd. both mixes stay faithful to the original while tweaking the classic elements for maximum appre ciation. the dub side really strikes out on it’s own with aneerily pleasing added synth line and a rumbling tribal(in the original sense) finish.

next output from the beginerz posse - subtle tech house number with a chopped ska vocal - fuckin rockin

after more than three years of silence as a producer, efdemin a.k.a phillip sollmann returns with a striking hybrid concept that merges the album format with the -continuous dj mix- format, presenting completely new material in a seamless manner. this cd-mix, named na•f, officially reinstates his label of the same name and is a sprawling tour of inner space featuring 19 distinct tracks from fellow producers (e.g. margaret dygas, steve bicknell, jeroen search, pom pom, marco shuttle or gunnar haslam) along with an additional ten that feature efdemin himself (either as soloist or collaborator). the release condenses his decade-long dj-ing journey and evolution as a producer into a single potent elixir of contemporary techno. owing to his additional projects, such as collaborating with pan artist konrad sprenger on a modular organ system to be installed in museums, or scoring for a neue musik ensemble, the berlin-based efdemin is known as hiker between the worlds . his regular stints at berghain or panoramabar, his partnership with established labels (e.g. ostgut ton, dial, sushitech) and the leadership of his own na•f imprint all demonstrate that since more than a decade.

fŸr viele popfans sind die stereo mcs die band aus den frŸhen 90er jahren, als ihre dritte lp >connected< zwei brit awards gewann und millionen exemplare verkaufte. wie ihr neues album >emperors nightingale< nahe legt, ist die wahre geschichte hinter dieser band etwas kompliziert und vor allem sehr faszinierend. ihr erstes frisches material seit connected veršffentlichte das duo erst 1999 auf einem dj-mix-album (>dj kicks< auf !k7). das follow-up folgte 2001 mit >deep down & dirty< - uk album charts top 20, und einige fans finden bis heute, es ist das beste werk des duos aller zeiten! 2005 kehrten sie zurŸck mit dem album >paradise< und schlossen gut drei jahre spŠter mit dem elektronischeren >double bubble< an. auf >emperors nightingale< bekommen wir nun zu hšren, was hallam und birch schon seit langem tun wollten: nŠmlich hip hops philosophie dazu zu nutzen, musik zu schaffen, die keinen regeln folgt au§er ihren eigenen. siehaben zum ersten mal Ÿberhaupt mit anderen kŸnstlern komponiert: bruce woolley (trevor horn - er war co-autor von video killed the radio star und slave to the rhythm), nathan drake und greg fleming (deekline and wizard, the london punks). statt grooves auf sample-loops und beats aufzubauen haben sie sich nun auf old-school jam sessions gestŸtzt - mit bass, gitarre, drums und vocals.

the debut album from charlie alex march is a wonderfully melodic and satisfying affair, gloriously english in a non sniffy manner, like tea and crumpets or a stroll on an autumn day. like a soft collision between aphex twin at his most melodic, nick drake at his string soaked finest or some hybrid of steve reich and syd barrett scoring a tim burton movie, the music of charlie march has a lingering, delicate beauty that will be around for a long time.
