top notch selected detroit stuff

the last franck roger on fr prod before september !

the mole is back on musique risquée with his 3rd ep to date called dreamer keep on dreaming. each track on this record is a story about dreams. dreamer is this weird one you cant get rid of, the with the annoying voice following you around everywhere. oh my stomach is the mysterious black & white dream, with cigar reek and bad whiskey breath. last ditch is the action packed one, with its car chase and the usual neverending sex scene at the end. and usually after, you wake up and the record is over.

prepare to enter the sombrero galaxy. journey to the centre of the sun, the debut release from lovefingers highly anticipated imprint esp institute, is a collaborative effort from londoner jonny nash (discosession) and dutchman tako reyenga. the two met years ago whilst jonny was working and living in tokyo and tako made his way over to dj. around the same time, lovefingers linked up with these two and a musical family had formed. that being told, its only natural for sombrero galaxy to find its home and represent the face of the esp insitute. journey to the centre of the sun is a dive into a moody, visceral and ethereal headspace brought to life through shimmering synthesizers, swirling guitars and a chugging bassline coupled with live percussion, clearly setting the bar higher than the bulk of contemporary electronic music. on the b side, the stallions (lovefingers and lee douglas) reinterpret the track with optimism, nicely complimenting the original with a light and cloudy yet driving house version. this is the music of dreams, keep an eye on esp institute in this new decade.

the magicians private library is the debut album from holly miranda - a dreamy and bewitching new signing to xl recordings.

dj mika is on a roll with his straight up no nonsense techno bangers. techno with a funky drive and bassline, this is what we need. labelboss mika invited two big artists to back him up for this release. roman zawodny comes with a great techno track full of big noises, a catchy synth and the bass fitting perfect in there. tadox on the flip is the 2nd guest to step up and he also delivers in style. another great 4 track ep on the quality label innervate!

the stl project continues with warm, soulful and dirty sounding tracks from the basement. this record features five moving deep chicago flavoured house tunes, plus the always appearing dope loops on the b-side. oldshool stylish melodies between raw and colourful beats, channeled through vintage hardware equipment direct to your ears. evolving percussion patterns will make you get inside the groove and feeling of each track. things for the dancefloor and moody listening places. ruff house music without any frills! besides the great stl tracks, there is also a dubby rmx from intrusion echospace.detroit on the flipside, which will get you even deeper into sound. something vinyl series 11. grab yourself one copy as long as you can!

supported by sian, loco dice, hot chip/ felix, john digweed, dubfire, todd bodine, derek miller, deepchild, goldfish + der dulz, mihalis safras, orde meikle, heiko laux, ktantin gabbro, toni d! yes, dominik eulberg is one of the few techno artists from germany who composes music out of a whole range of classical elements such as melodies, analogue synth sounds and a worthy treasure of self made elements. in dominik s world there is still place for romance and dreams opposed to the hard realism of the techno world and the music made on demand. so we were happy when we found in rodriquez jr a remixer who was able to connect dominik s world with his own world, keeping the gentle touch of the original but adding a quirky and lively element to it. if there is something like a perfect remix, this might be it!

1996 classic

after releasing the excellent >wormhole< on japan excursion joint 3, the most talented stefny gives us her debut solo archipel 12 inch, >echinodon<, featuring remixes from bruno pronsato and isomer transition.
this package, by all means, is set to infinitely clutch and grab ahold of many a mind. >echninodon< is wonderfully fanged, each maxilla locked and loaded, ready to capture the entirety of the minds resources and set it into intricate motion. it possesses a hypnotic prowess of such a level which makes it difficult if not impossible to shift ones attention away from it. if lucid dreaming is possible while one is awake, waking dreams within wakefulness, this is sure to cause just such a condition to arise, leading to deliciously formed headscapes where every scene is endlessly novel and created out of the finest of mental interior brushstrokes and every individual shade and colour is endless in its depth.

metroline limited catches sonotheque pimping it. beautiful, rich synths and brass move right through this ep, bubbling through nice solid house grooves and soulful vocal cuts. >sugarblues< is the kind of house cut that technoheads go nuts for, with the loose, fluid structure of carl craig, the bump and grind of dj sneak and a smooth-as-a-babys-bottom sax line that runs the length of the track.

>fall into me< finally marks the release of the last and keenly awaited single from jay haze aka fuckponys masterpiece >let the love flow<. the album title says it all - >fall into me< sounds incredibly light, yet catchy and full of energy - a free fall onto the worlds softest pillow. this is how house must sound to lovers. house with soul can be taken literally in this case, as jay has called upon the expert support of laila tov and chela simone. the latterenjoys an international standing and has already lent her sublime, very unique voice to kikis hit single >good voodoo<. here she combines inextricably with jays compact sound aesthetic and makes >fall into me< positively shine.with its atmospheric intro and broad musical range, the original on the a-side sees a welcome reappearance of certain must-have features which will have the hairs on your neck standing up... the accompanying video was shotby emmy nominee daniel michael gahr with chela simone and laila tov in the woods of san francisco.
marco passarani has done the honours on the flip side. a workaholic from the eternal city of rome, marco is the linchpin of the italian techno scene. he produces under the aliases js pool, monomorph and ambit 3 for the labels skam, hymen, clone and peacefrog, and also runs his own labels plasmek, pigna and nature records marcos >fall into me< remix is unmistakably influenced by hiscarefully nurtured detroit roots. however, he employs these stylistic elements very discreetly, retains beats, melody and vocals in his arrangement, takes out a little of the decorative padding from the album, then finally hits us with a wonderful, trancey eight-tone sequence to send us into the realm of dancefloor dreams for ever.

1991 classic, 180 g vinyl on 2x12 vinyl set!!

fritto morto 003 sees gatto frittos invisible college getting a timely re release. originally out on dissident, invisible college has been a big record for beardos from hoxton to hawaii. it became a firm favourite at londons disco bloodbath and cosmic truth nights aswell as across the pond at harveys sarcastic parties. a long acoustic guitar driven balearic trip propelled by synth bass, disco toms, clavinet and fender rhodes with a summery disposition. the b side your dreams are my nightmares is 9 minutes of highlife guitars squalling 101s, backwards vocals and white noise snares with a pure pop number buried underneath...the sort of thing paul simon and doris norton might have made if they had been sectioned and were in a music therapy group together.

tensnake has been hamburgs best-kept secret. has been! past 12inchs for labels like radius, mirau (which he co-runs) or his gorgeous >keep believin< three-tracker for endless flight speak louder than words. on top he delivered all these nice remixes for the likes of junior boys ( fm÷ is theee one), sally shapiro or more recently toby tobias on rekids. firmly rooted in new yorks sweaty boogie dreams and with a soft spot for dazzling house music, >in the end< stays true to tensnakes juicy techniques and pleases our friends and colleagues (radio slave, robet dietz, prins thomas, gilbr, mark e) alike. we start off with a courageous house tune that has all the qualities of an a-side and concisely defines the dilemma of lovers: in the end someone always has to cry. but as long as it sounds like a cutty ranks rocket launcher, we want test it. the other side of the medal features >holding back my love< a slow-motion disco robot bomb with a crooning tensnake on the mic that makes everyone feel happy like they should. finally, >thethenunknown< somehow melts the moodiness of early factory records (think a certain ratio with a little finger exercise) with the atmosphere of kenneth dixon jr.s >misled< - one for the heart, soul and your headphones. at least, gerd feels and thinks like that. speaking of feelings. if downloads are your thing, you can get the digital bonus track >can you feel it< at all the usual spots. how is that for a change? this guy aint a blindschleiche

after successfully bringing back the boogie with the launch of their own imprint, boogie corporation are now back again to prove that they really are slaves to the boogie with this their second release on bc. inspired by strange android dreams and angelic visions of russian air hostesses on electronically powered scooters, aeroflot is equal part space and equal part boogie. meanwhile on the flip, git down is a slab of raw basement boogie, an experiment in time travel and is well heavy on the funk. last up, but by no means a slacker, is dirty rips which pays homage to the machine funk of the early electro sound while giving it a serious contemporary tweak. this track was previously re edited by dj legend greg wilson and released as hardcore boogie on redux, but this is the first time the original version has been released on vinyl. are you a slave to the boogie?

in a subterranean tunnel, halfway between las vegas and new york is a small after hours venue where the walls are covered in red velvet and the floor littered with dreams and broken promises. over the soundsystem is the trace of a groove, deep and stark, cut into a vinyl that was already worn down before it was played the first time. welcome to the afterparty that never finishes. be careful where you put the drink!

if there s one lesson we have learned from 2008, it s that techno is not nearly creepy enough. on creep ep, germany s kevin over injects pitch-black dread into the heart of his distinct brand of techno. steamrolling bass-lines, droplets of toxic rain, and ghostly sirens all coalesce into swinging, propulsive grooves that stretch into a never-ending night. mr. over demonstrates his knack for creating arrangements that are both melodious and spacious, crafting an almost seven minutes ride through some of the most banging and infectious techno tracks to date, not to mention some dubby business on surge that would leave lee perry envious. at its most compelling, creep ep paints a picture of a raging warehouse party at the edge of your wildest dreams. including killer remixes by pascal vert and john lagora

space disco? or cosmic grooves? balearic it is!! peter visti - from music for dreams and mindless boogie fame - offers us again an incredible ep on eskimo after wonderful and often charted releases such as balearic love and heaven is a disco. both late nite balearic monster and el ritmo del mar are two amazing spanish guitar driven tracks in his own unique style and were very proud to be able to release them on eskimo. again some essential stuff for your balearic ears!!

debuting with >i believe< on the monumental (10 records) compilation >techno 2: the next generation< (alongside carl craig, marc kinchen, and jay denham) in 1990. octave one is the brainchild of the phenomenal native sons of detroit, mi (usa), the burden brothers. the band, (made up of lenny burden and lawrence burden), have had the privilege of touring live and djing throughout the world, including the countries of germany, spain, greece, belgium, vienna, the netherlands, the uk, ireland, scotland, malaysia, japan, the us, and russia, among many other places. throughout their careers they have worked with such artists as derrick may, underground resistance, juan atkins, anthony shake shakir, among others. they have remixed tracks for such artists as massive attack, akabu (joey negro), dj rolando (jaguar), steve bug, john thomas, the trampps, rhythim is rhythim, and inner city. two years of live touring and three years of recording come together for the brothers latest musical offering. reaching back and rejuvenating their pure electronic detroit sound, o1 produce a dance floor heavy techno journey. >summers on jupiter< showcases the burdens signature rough and tumble production style. several tracks are already gracing the decks of the likes of jeff mills, laurent garnier, carl craig, richie hawtin, and claude young among many others. to celebrate their first studio album in four years, octave one take the electronic beat down on the road through 2009.

the first release for 2009 on universal vibes welcomes new artist keep the secrets. after a long history of musical trial and error, john renfrow and deric jones decided that it was time to take a different direction in their musical vision. it started two years ago with a simple beat and a slow jazz guitar, and soon developed into an eclectic fusion of musical expression. each note ebbs and flows with hints of many different styles and genres. both members of keep the secrets have found level ground in creating a sound that ambitiously exceeds the musical standards of today, and have vowed to honor their dreams by releasing songs that they love. with a definite balearic vibe running throughout, they compliment the uv vibe perfectly while adding a new stylistic angle. label head paddy freeform provides two edits which stretch the tracks out into dancefloor heaven.

carefully arranged minimal electroism meets laid-back vocals by dasha rush. the soundtrack of a day.

kumo returns! after his well received debut ep earlier this year - he comes in with two movers in his own style. alphawave on the a side has this haunting, escapish synthline, dreams on the flip intrigues as well - with the rough beats and almost ravey synth burning in.

limited double lp version. it comes housed in a gatefold replica lp package. tonight is the brand new album from franz ferdinand recorded between glasgow and london by dan carey. explosive and infectious, and undeniably franz ferdinand, but a bigger, brighter beast. tonight is music of the night: to fling yourself around your room to as you psyche yourself for a night of hedonism, for the dancefloor, flirtation, for your desolate heart stop, for losing it and loving losing it, for the chemical surge in your bloodstream. its for that lonely hour gently rocking yourself waiting for dawn and it all to be even again.

steffen baumann & stefan hollaender got the inspiration for that track from the shant of an unknown shaman. the hypnotic vocals and the massiv bassline make the track to an bomb somewhere between deep-house & tech-house. the >taste t meets wishes & dreams remix< on has much more progressiv-house elements. the bassline of the original tracks is picked up by a warm but also pumping synth line. the track is released on a 10 inch record.

jacking madness that drills holes in your head plus the voice of martin luther king - and all that edited by ron hardy. any questions?

re-jigging the classic andy weatherall production, smoke belch sabres 2 paradise re-crafts the 1993 anthem into a tough tech house groove more suited for the modern dancefloor. demand for this bootleg has been growing since last december when a handful of copies were passed out to key tastemaker djs

one of the first ever-productions from roger sanchez from the early nineties. bleepy proto-house rave action the predates the underground solution stuff. deep, sparse and highly classy original techno. now is the time to fill the gap in your collection! reissue comes in high quality mastered sound / original label / polylined bags / shrink wrapped. tracklisting: a1 world of dreams mix ,a2 r.e.m. beats , b1 deep in swing mix , b2 higher understanding

once upon a time there was the wilderness ep part 1. what follows is the second band of this futuresque music fairy tail-continuing the journey through the dark forests and gardens of the cheapers in which the >hunter< on a1 claimes his territory and eagerly is looking out for bass-devils in heat. thereby the fun drunken rifleman shoots down the rave-bird and even a flock of house-sparrows are being stampeded into the underwood. on the other side of the forest play the busy intricate bees in the vaults of the >fortress< on its mystical fantasy plug ins and a bewiched quake is coming through the deep b1- cracks until the magic tree of dreams starts to flourish

2 classic d.i.s.c.o. / house classix…donna summer - i feel love & jay dee - plastic dreasm (david morales rmx)

entertainment is a duo. im a cliché is proud to release their very first e.p on september 29th. juan de guillebon is the bass player. he studied a lot jaco pastorius, but decided not to spend the rest of his life playing in jazz rock combos. you can easily guess his attraction to no wave bands (suicide or james chance), krautrock (his faves are cluster), or ebm and early electro (daf). alongside, hes part of the ectoplasmic band, performing as backing band for tigersushis boss joakim. antoine montgaudon plays the guitar, and we bet he would have fit perfectly in any brian enos late 70s recording. he builds endless psychedelic atmospheres with feedbacks, loops and fxs. all this only with his guitar. hes also part of my sister klaus, a project released on tigersushi (again).

big re-release with tracks by mark broom, percy x and locutus

2004 release by legendary us punk rocker bad religion!
