futuro is back with a doubledecker o fclassic detroit influenced technohouse by none other than kim rapatti aka mono junk (styrax/dum) in his melody boy 2000 disguise.when sähkö was starting to release minimal records in early 90s mono junk had allready a few years earlier made an impact in the technoscene with his original detroit techno sound. influenced by the sähkö sound, mono junk released monotone fantastique in 1994 on his dum-records label (dum-014) on a limited 12inch which has become a classic. almost 12 years later and futuro is picking this gem up from kim straight from his master dat tape. newly mastered this shit rocks!b-side features 2 new productions, a perfect way to evaluate the progression of this talented finn. sound steal er is more geared towards the dancefloor, it features deep eerie vocals and machine-alike drum programming while sient mornings is more of an early morning electro crooner

anders trentemøller, the shooting star of 2005, needs no further introduction. he has been stringing together hit after hit, most recently the -nam nam ep- on poker flat which offered an initial insight into his upcoming album -the last resort-. now the new 12- brings the first full-blown single outtake. the featured album track is -always something better – a vocal version featuring richard davis - and has a calmer, almost dreamy mood compared to the club tracks he s released. an easy-going groove, some wonderful celesta chords (hand-played by anders) and the typical trentemøller sound melt with the outstanding vocals by richard davis, who already graced swayzak s -speak easy- on k7. furthermore, davis is known for his longplayers on punkt musik and kitty-yo as well as an array of singles and remixes.a brilliant track with a beautiful atmosphere.of course the a1 slot is reserved for the -trentemøller remix-, a true dancefloor anthem. a kicking bass drum, quirky sounds and the -trentemøller twist- make this a real summer hit. while the a1 mix is a reduced vocal version, you ll find the -dub mix- on b1. to top things off, the one and only matthew herbert contributes his very own interpretation on the -bubble mix-. he disrupts and rearranges the original sounds and song structures to create a new unsettled, but fascinating soundscape

busted speaker brew is the second installation by the afternoon coffee boys on clink recordings. this new minimal rocker walks the fine line between minimal and techno with acb’s signature drum programming and short decay instrumentation. the afternoon coffee boys, aka tim xavier and tony rohr, released their debut collaborative release on clink001 last year with one of the bigger eps of 2005: dark blend. their follow-up ep on cocoon, >glitches brew<, was released at the beginning of this year and was a huge success. their music has been praised by top artists such as adam beyer, richie hawtin, sven väth and marco carola, and they show promise as one of the new leading duos of 2006. this ep is an excellent release as acb continues to push the minimal edge with their techno influences by keeping the tracks rhythmic and driving while maintaining the slow, deep and funky pace that djs are currently pursuing in their sets

with his stunning releases on raum…musik and steve bug s pokerflat imprint, argy a.k.a. jobim s cousin has earned himself a position as one of today s most promising producers. on cargo edition, the boy from greece shows himself a bit more tool-like - hypnotic percussions drive forward these two excellent dancefloor tracks. comerte (a1) sounds like a bongo band playing live at the gym: this sound reminds us so perfectly of squealing basketball boots, doesn t it? hopefully, your dancefloor is not slippery, either… la revancha del bossa (b2) is a bit less forward, paving the way to daniel stefaniks remix of comerte (b1) with nice bassline action. speaking of the remix - mr. cargo edition himself keeps the crowd driving mad with three minutes of spurring synth modulation. see the people going wild when he finally drops in that redeeming bass drum

berlin team of dave shokh and holgi star are back with a cool house long player for the masses. remix courtest of the ultra hot agaric (we are, aka patrik skoog) begin with gathered clicking percussion built with high pitched stabs and reversed flicks. lirum builds ontop of itself as the snare punctuates the groove as the bell rises. a galloping invasion of sounds going from your brain wide into your feet. you will dance and feel good. yes. agaric does not hold back. the funk is dripping. a rolling tight groove filled to the top with hits and drum flips. just wait as he teases before the bassline appears and off we go. madness for the dancefloor?!? for certain!

harlem is steve lawlers own imprint delivering killer house cuts this is quite simply, big room house music at its very best musical maestro, drax (adam routh) and cafe mambo deck master, pete gooding, are back! the original mix of harder is a deliciously dirty slice of tribalistic house music, which will turn the sex factor of any dancefloor up to 10 with its big drum funk groove, squelching acid, synth stabs, and teasing female vocals, this kills the floor every time the remix shifts up a gear and jacks the funk to delirious levels of ecstatic abandon

>dirty jay< on a1 is a mixture of steve bug and josh wink in one dirtbag. superfreak meets traffic signs. on the flip side we have two more old-school tracks, starting with >da shit< on b1. short synth bleeping repetitive sounds, a clear drum arrangement and an old school male voice-sample, these are the ingredients of this journey. finally >sophie< on b2 shows us this well-known oldschool dry bass, followed by a unintrusive atmospheric melody. all together will work on your floor very well !!

this is a shining example of feeling and raw >emotion< exemplified by his use of grtty analog basstones and heavy racing percussion which gives this release his classic >places< feeling. the new york legend has once again created a milestone in the electronic music spectrum, for the modern electro tech dancefloor. this wonderful balearic techno-electro track simply falls apart in the middle as the bass drum is denied in favor of one of the most beautiful summer-fuelled love songs ever. without a doubt one of joey s most innovative productions this year

luciano & tobias freund edit of n.s.i. s original track once again, cadenza comes on strong with a powerful and unconventional floor-filler, proving that >minimal< music neednt be a predictable affair of plug-ins, gratuitous reverb, and garish bit reduction. in its first limited-run, one-sided single, cadenza revisits last year s >max binski< ep from nsi (non standard institut)-the duo of tobias freund (pink elln, sieg Über die sonne) and max loderbauer (sun electric)-with a 13minute edit by freund and luciano. the edit takes >clara ghavami<, a sleeper cut off the b-side of the nsi ep, out of the isolation tank and into a crazy, heaving landscape of fluid shapes and odd angles. underpinning it all is an irresistible rhythm that s pure luciano-powered by a stuttering kick drum and some antennae-like, hypersyncopated squiggles, it pumps away like a legion of army ants, carrying exponentially more than its own weight
