a journey deep into the afro realm with jazzy horns, drum action and harmonic beats.

fat drum and bass power

as one of the leading voices in japans techno and house scene, this dj, producer and live performer knows what dark textures, dirty bass lines and driving beats are all about. this ep arrives as a bit of a powerful undercover tool style installation, full of simple percussive allotments, syncopated synth bass stabs and plenty of swing. hane starts out as a pretty straightforward loop minded drum workout, but before you know it a delicately plucked synth jam ignites the mix.

phat detroitish techhouse action

more dark and moody madness from matt b. bushwacka’s stunning production mastery really shines through here as two versions, each with a slightly different twist take effect. the a side, >every dog has its day< shuns the current trends and stands alone like a lonely child at playtime. heavy hammer blow bass and resonating glitches that will stand the test of time. the drum mix takes you on a different tour of the dancefloor and drops you right in front of the dj booth.

timmy regisford returns to what he does best!! doing solid afro-tinged drum tracks that are deep, tribal and ultra functional

here comes a real trip through the horny nightlife of the big city of art in barcelona/spain. 4 totally different and 100 percent funny tracks, starting from vocal techno - over to drum n bass - and finish with a trippy taste of industrial hardtek! not to be miss... it s our last release in 2007, and a very strong winter release for all the techno maniacs out there.

classic prodigy album! repress on double vinyl.

the skull returns to kindisch with four impeccably sultry and leftfield dancefloor cuts. >must have back< is silky, chicaning mix of ice-cool male vocals and slick, vacuum-packed percussion that will prove devastating to discerning dancefloors, while >lalalala< is a raw, spaced-out house jam that serves up spry, bouncy congas, wobbly bass and clipped hi-hat patterns with no small amount of dubby echo and delay. >forever ever< is a wonderfully trippy slice of minimal techno, a heady bass and percussion workout haunted by the blue, smoky ghosts of jazz keys. be careful - you may well find yourself hypnotized forever ever.the mood is less abstract but no less intense or inviting for deep, reverb-laden closing track >lovesong<. an insistent kick-drum and mind-bending fx make this prime dancefloor material, but the mood of the track is more complex - wistful, pining, mindful of the past, expectant of the future - a lovesong through and through.

for flash lützenkirchen delivers three very classy dancefloor burners. first up there is >enter the moonlight<, an enchanting piece of thumping peak time business. a big bass, pumping beats and some great oriental sounds combined with far-out effects create a unique atmosphere. modern styles meet oldskool feelings! >on the shore< is even more oldskool than that. the fat and wobbly bassline pushes the track forward and creates the perfect antagonism to the warm effects and clicky minimal beats. the highlight - however - is the wonderfully written melodic piano piece that turns this track from wicked into wow! beautiful and tough, oldskool and fresh, slick and funky - all at the same time. this one is going to be huge. listen for yourself! at last there is >pokemon companion<, a more direct and solid piece of minimal tech. a drum’n bass like powerfully grumbling bass, and yet another memorable synthie pattern that seems to grow out of the buzzing loop like a spring flower out of wet grass - naturally and wonderful!

viral breaks bring something different to the label in the form chaotic pulse?s >eternal night<. the a side is a techy dancefloor drum n bass killa. powerful bass driven drums and lashing snares are brought together with mutating synthetic bass, that will drive the dancing crew crazy. the aa sees the remix from phat riders

pure hypnotic dope ! the 12inch opens with a blast of superlative dancefloor funk, >u can get sonar<. its immediately obvious that this track is the creation of someone who knows - as a fan, dj, record-seller and musician - what works on the dancefloor, what sounds good, and has endeavoured to make his record satisfy us on all counts. carried along by an unbelievably buoyant bassline, purring, deep house-style chords and crystalline percussion, the track climaxes in waves of synthesized strings. >upad aah< is a vivacious, skippy dancefloor track, its constituent bass and drum elements rounded and smoothed for maximum bounce, sharp, pressurized snares provide a glorious counterpoint, as quasi-tribal percussion, and airy african female vocals are layered over the top. the result is fresh, powerful and eminently danceable. >persuasion< is a deep, swinging club track. once again that warm bass is at the forefront, with clipped yet languid chords building melody around it as

incl great remixes by sascha funke and dj koze !! danse avec moi is the first single to be taken from noze s new album, songs on the rocks, the french duo s most surreal and scintillating vision of dance music yet, to be released on get physical music on april 25th. the 12 is equipped with remixes from sascha funke and the inimitable dj koze.>danse avec moi< is a proper love song. it is also noze s first ever song in french, and so with typical perversity, they thought it might be amusing to call upon an american to do the singing - the wonderful dani siciliano, best known for her albums for! k7 and litany of collaborations with matthew herbert. dani duets elegantly with david lafore (who also penned the song s lyrics) over a propulsive, swinging 4x4 drum tattoo, bouncy bassline, rippling harp and lavish string arrangements. as is so often the case with noze, the piano is at the forefront of the arrangement, providing not just straightforward melody and harmony but eminently danceable rhythm. it is an anthem in the making. you should know better than to expect a straightforward remix from kompakt s resident mad scientist, dj koze.

uk beat futurist delivers an explosive release that covers a wide spectrum of his signature sound: dub bleeps, modulating synths & smooth drum programming are sure to turn heads. bass fueled remix from dutch producer dogdaze

first single to be lifted from the forthcoming lp is a flawless representation of some of the freakishly danceable tracks contained therein. a wholly original mashup of electronics, my heart rate rapid is sheer falsetto laden, drum battering brilliance. although metronomys elliptical, insidious, multi coloured art pop sounds nothing like colognes legendary purveyors of prog disco, can do offer clues to the lineage the band belong to. add early brian eno, sparks, devo, talking heads, soft cell, and then scratch your head for more recent examples of abstract music, full of experiment, risk, and individuality that somehow resolves itself into pop that makes you sing and dance and feel like a big kid and you realise that you cant think of any, because metronomy are, in the current pop milieu, an utterly unique proposition.

deep tracky house!! includes future beat investigators remix

supa dupa soulful deeeeep detroithouse !! old skool perfekt in die heutige zeit plaziert...

vincent koreman aka ra-x joins up with herr muller to form a new and rockin optimus prime, once again exploring the dancefloor. their style could be described as no fear techno, with some serious electro influences. called no fear, because whatever comes up is put to use in a track, be it acid, drum & bass or idm influences. a hard rocking record with a fresh sound, this is the first of many

this 12 contains vinyl only remixen! his previous release was on yoshitoshi recordings. evolve features a trippy male vocal loop that works perfectly with the simple bass and drum loops.

remember tullum combines slick guitar licks, rolling breakbeats and a warming bassline. flipping over and the equally as classy water goes for a stepping drum beat with light percussive touches and an effortless vocal that slides in and out of the mix while the bass notes soothe your soul as you dance your ass off. classic ac business.

for their latest effort, einzelkind aka arno völker and miguel ayala teamed up with douglas greed for ice 1656 ep. in a1 >la belle<, a rolling, woodblock rhythm sets the scene for the abstracted keyboard tones which cluster around the track’s middle, cranking up the drama and throwing the bottom-line bass throb sharp relief, ahead of the dirty, flanged synth line that’ll gleefully force any dancefloor into submission. >la belle<’s beauty lies in its simplicity - einzelkind and douglas greed use a small, well-chosen assortment of percussive and melodic elements to create a wonderfully tense, propulsive club track with not even a hint of flab about it. for b1 >ed the optician<, the trio inject a bit of funk into proceedings. it’s a slinky little number, characterised by an expanding and contracting, analogue-sounding synth-line, woodwind samples and a bouncy, morse-code bassline, together making for a warm, groving track that will work well in warm-up and peak-time sets alike, not to mention at home. b2 >squirls in a bathtub< is a similarly supple, funk-fuelled cut, driven by haunting, almost animal-like noises and which mutate into wiry acid lines while the aquatic bass drum, hissing shaker and press

bitches brew are back with their next wild installment - purple somersault. if the previous release was filed under country dub tronica, this release is psychedelic surf cosmic disco. kind of like link wray wipes out with giorgio moroder. an interesting and rather beautiful concept, in fact the whole wild rumpus story is rather interesting and beautiful. two pioneers of forward thinking music, but from very different backgrounds combine to make the kind of music you simply cant ignore but at the same time cant quite put your finger on.

tuomi, as well as stefan goldmanns 1st ever production for a band! tuomi is a trio of voice, piano and double bass, lead by singer kristiina tuomi. touring the globe from europe to bahrain to south korea, tuomi perform a unique blend of superb songwriting and acoustic chamber composition. for their macro debut, the trio is joined by live strings and an array of electronics, synths and drum machines, taking their signature concept to the dancefloor in full effect. the result is stunningly adventurous house music. the title track >expense of spirit< comes with a mind blowing bass line, acting as a catchy counterpoint to the deep acoustic chords and strings. the b side also holds a minimalistic dub version. >mourning eyes< and >expense miniature< reach far beyond the dancefloor, being another prime example of macros experimental direction. a pioneering four track ep showcasing what should be possible at the junction of acoustic and electronic music today. tuomi are: kristiina tuomi - voice carsten daerr - piano carlos bica - double bass featuring: margherita biederbick - violin hannah klein - viola stefan goldmann - synth bass, drum machines, processing

phil kieran is back again with >missp< on cocoon recordings and continues consistently where he stopped with his contribution to the compilation g: groovy, dark, technoid – a sound that, from time to time, reminds of some fog & strobo parties in the mid-nineties. an electroid bass line and a fascinating drum roll go straight ahead and its still the fine sounds in between that make the music and the rhythm. a track which is perfect for the prime time

hyperdub kick off 2008 they way they intend to proceed, with new tracks from a new artist. on her debut release, ikonika comes with her own very unique, warped yet soulful bleep sound. with shape shifting beats that switch styles every few bars its hard to pin these two tracks down... cos if it was easy, it just wouldnt be hyperdub. both tunes are one minute minimal, one minute maximal, driven along by ikonikas special combination of wonky synth and deep swingin sub bass melodies that place them somewhere between an early, blocky grime instrumental and the sweeter side of detroit techno ? except with better bass of course! who needs a vocalist when your synth can sing like this? quite how kode9 manages to keep unveiling new producers of such abundant talent is a conun drum, but one to be cracked some other time when we?re not so busy keeping up with his astonishing labels ceaseless march into the future.
