a1. >everybody techno< - this is typical of gideons dance floor techno style, thick beats with a marching bass-line. from the first beat we are guided through a tough no-holds-barred trip into an unforgiving world of the darker sides of techno music. a retrospective vocal with a sinister laugh completes this evil peak-time track.
a2. >flight to right now< - this minimal track snaps along with a very basic beat and synth combo. the synth rises as the track progresses to keep dance floors moving. there is a wonderfully simple aspect to this track that gets under the skin and allows people to really connect with it.
b1. >recession tool< (vocal mix) - recession tool is a chunky tech house track with a wonderfully chewed up vocal and ever-present reverse snares. the track pumps forward until a nice rising breakdown lifts to complete with more vocals and intricate drum loops.
b2. >rico< - rico is a long progressive track with a slow builds and a warped lead line. the least aggressive track on the ep and possibly the least expressive. that said, it still ticks along seamlessly with a perfectly crafted warble and smart drums.

matt john has done it again! the 3rd holographic island is an excellent sequel to the hypercube ep. “baby face one” on the a side, with its tripping arrangement of voices, precise percussive drums and its rolling bassline makes you feel like swimming within an always flowing river of sound. the b side track named the “bleepfactory” has a tense and explosive atmosphere and features a shimmering cloud of microsounds floating over a warm carped of bass frequencies and drum hits

remixes by dennis ferrer and toni economides.

a new release on small world disco edits, two sublime reworked soul classics by nicholas.
side a: willie edit - melodic bass line intertwined within a driving kick drum and lovely percussive elements. the strings make this song stand out - along with the chopped up vocals.
side b: love is - the vocals really bring this track alive. heavy on the drums, bass and hats, this track really grooves - laced with brass!

two tracks taken from the turn the page lp. a side >release< - calming things down a little, >release< continues the tempo with a bouncing bass and booming sub to match as delicate synth stabs and vocal washes trickle over the top to make for a great cut as the lp journey picks up pace. aa side >the sleeper< is anything but with its rollin? bassline and stepping drums that smash any club when dropped. a sure-footed crowd pleaser that shows the guys getting seriously engrossed in some vintage d&b vibes.

one year later the label panacustica delivers a slamming second twelve inch rats mother followed by a brilliant prins thomas remix, plus a detroit inspired instrumental by stay gold, argentoÆs alter ego. the record opens with a dreamy version where a plucked string intro and rats voice drive you into a deep, cinematic, adult dance groove. this laid back, psychedelic track flows well beyond your usual dance floor act into eno-esque territories. prins thomass mix is faster, happier and jumpier. its an amazing balearic trip with a live warm feel to it in which a guitar plays along the melody, accentuating the spaced out feel of the track, lifting it into higher states. stay gold gives the listeners a techno version where sparse, mechanical drums and a minimized melody take us to the motor city (citta dei motori) for a night drive in the dark. own it, feel it, play it loud.

following on from his critically acclaimed third album basho basho, kidkanevil is back with a selection of remixes from his forthcoming basho basho remixed album. first up is a long-time friend of fw in the shape of eliphino. he provides a stunning sub-heavy mix of >the floating world<, fans of floating points, joy orbison & bukem need to check this out. next up is manchesters illum sphere, fresh from the release of his titan ep on martyns 3024 imprint (becoming only the second producer aside from 2562 to have a solo 12 inch on the label). his rebounce of >when doves bounce< does exactly that, adding spooky electronics and tougher drums to the original.

fans of the itchy robot sound will go mad for this release as it has all his trade mark production technics glitchy beats and deep b-lines rule, are you ready to funky is the cry you hear from the intro. then from the drop the drums take over and with the screeching synth and power bass matched for effect. esoteric sound delivers a similar sounding track although it rolls along a bit smoother with a pounding driving b-line, and echoed out one beat vocal hook.

the b.t.s are a detroit deep house live act crew. this is there first release in the world. the ex-member of underground resistance, derwin hall bang the dam walls down with this groove. this remake track with the late ron banks vox sample >treat me like man< is a detroit killer! derwin had some extra production on the drums by delano smith. this track is so hot, me (eddie fowlkes) and my momma had to get this for the cityboy music. what a great track for their first release.the black exterrestrials come back with >the journey< on the flip side. this deep minimal soul house groove has that element of a underground banger with euro flavor - with lead vocal by angie sexy ass!

back after a well deserved holiday the planet rhythm comes hard with another slammer. driving techno from start to finish by luky r.d.u on the a1. the next track by a.paul is a wicked rhythmic workout from another planet. exium last but not least takes control of the flip with two massive techno workouts! heavy bass and crazy drums in the style of their latest music masterpieces on pole and warm up. this is quality techno!

for his third release on dont be afraid semtek brings a rolling acid house vibe with remixes from neville watson, justin harris and isa gt.
the original builds from trademark uk bleeps and analogue drums into a wigged out discoid groove. neville watson takes you far up into the aether with a hypnotic hymn to the night, justin harris produces a dark and driving techno dub, and isa gt refashions an early semtek track >key< into a bara house banger equally at home in croydon as in her native columbia.

>the voices< is the debut 12 inch from bobby and annie. drawing on their experiences as residents at the mint club, uk, the pair have crafted a versatile ep that sits as comfortably in a peak time set as it does on a hazy 6am dance floor. taken from a collection of vocal out-takes the voices have been cleverly obscured through various production techniques and layered around drums and old school analogue synth lines to unique effect. the results are two haunting, hypnotic, yet upbeat dj tools. the title track, >voices<, uses deftly interwoven vocal samples as the focus and driving hook. shuffled percussion takes a back seat amidst a discordant, attention-grabbing synth interlude that harks back to the playful garage sound of90s chicago house. the outcome is dramatic, intense and functional. on the b-side, >loose ends<, is a more rugged affair that gives the bass and drums centre stage. the vocals are pitched and trippily float in and out of the track whilst the familiar sound of fairlight stabs punctuate the groove. the effect is eerie, yet accessible, and rounds off this stunning ep.

first on decks.de !!! heavy beats with an analog feel and loud drums keep spinning and building around noisy crisp techno athmospheres until furious hi hats unleash the very last drop of energy around. the titel track >12 monkeys< appears in three mixes. the rawdub is maybe the toughest emerson track for many years. he already produced a whole series of rawdub techno remixes that will be released soon and this is somehow the blueprint for his new rawdub techno project. the original track sports industrial fueled beats and soundscapes. cut b1 is a remix by the one and only argentinian stallion juan pablo pfirter. he had his latest outings on labels like figure, clr, stockholm ltd & his very own mind trip music, his latest addition to the infamous clr compilation called miestudio had him supported all across the board. here he delievers an outstanding rework playing around with the beats and parts from the original forming it up to a deeper techno anthem with huge impact on the floor. supported by: oliver ho, slam, technasia, terence fixmer, lucy, mark henning, two em, pig & dan, cio d or, danny howells, daniel sanchez, echologist, ...

new kanada is honored to have the awesome murr (aka nicholas murray) take the reins on the next release. dusty drums, worn-out pads and a deep respect for the early beatsmiths, nick always creates an atmosphere in his tracks that is definitely not the flavor of the month - but rather the taste of the year. on the a-side, >noise in< is a tough dusty jacker, that builds from a tight dub intoa shimmering melodic bomb. feels like early transmat, late gherkin, or an americanized lfo. shuffle, simmer, and slam. the second cut on the a-side, >broken glass<, is a slamming ode to the sp1200. beats swung hard, percussion rattling the kilter way off, and a suffocating groove. watch out - the shards are sharp. on the b-side, marshall reshapes the original >noise in< into a brutal example of a tough mixing tool. heavy, pulsing basslines and an incessant jack groove. this one should move the floor. red, yellow and orange. rockit!

the oh so secretive and elusive franc spangler provides his first full ep for delusions of grandeur having previously provided mixes for alpha child on dog03 as well as for jimpster on freerange. on our 11th release we are very happy to offer up two variations on forever and a day with the original providing a full length arrangement loaded with deep pads, fizzing synth lines and franc?s trademark disco inspired drums. forever and a dub runs with a similar vibe whilst opting for a more stripped back and rolling vibe. still a very deep and musical track but with some space for the drums and squarewave bassline to work their magic. the arrangement subtly builds with layering synths providing the dynamics and interest. flip over for open eyes which sees franc drop the bpm?s for a loping, looping, sun-soaked epic purpose built for vibe augmentation of your next bbq gig

the german acoustic techno trio brandt brauer frick comes up with its second ep on tartelet records, giving a foretaste of their highly exspected debut album coming later this year. >paino shakur< follows a rough and jazzy approach, featuring a minimalistic piano motif going mad, accompanied by sloppy drums, vibraphone and a heavy bass. the track perfectly captures the trios live energy they have proved on stages like berghain, mutek, c/o pop or distortion.

>close your eyes< is easily the most powerful cut on the record. while the low end hammers away and the drums keep chugging, the edge is taken off by sparse piano chords that will keep you flying no matter how tired your feet may be. play it at peak-time and the club will go crazy. play it at the end of the night, and its the perfect note to send people off into the abyss.

first ep from their forthcoming album due late 2010, tonton funk kicks off with a heavy beat in an futuristic old-school dance ambiance. combining different styles to perfection, tonton funk announces the return of the famed duo. they complete their comeback with the help of les petits pilous, boys noize records very own enfants terribles, who offer an incredibly effective nu-dance dark version. franz & shape add their own acid techno ambiance to make this track a dancefloor tune. toxic avenger finishes the job with an electric remix, using heavy drums & dynamite bass!

go hiyama has always been a very interesting artist for me, ever since he emerged in 2002 on james ruskins coda label. both his musical & production style have changed a lot since then and i personally feel theres still no one out there who comes near to what he is doing. we planned on working together since a long time now and i am glad we finally made it work with this brilliant 4 tracker. no fillers. all 4 tracks have been tested thoroughly in my sets and always stood out as highlights.
no compromises on these fierce punishing drums, delivered by one of the most promising talents in techno the last years. hope you will enjoy playing these tracks as much as i do. (kr!z)

nice price deal !!! shree bang special: this is an angular and unrelenting dose of hip hop acid. crunching diplodocus drums stomp holes as tsunamis of grinding bass level the remaining city-scape. the remaining survivors are driven into the mountains by the huge waves of synthetic noise and the threat of a rave induced frontal lobotomy.

fresh from his massive release on dj dies clear skyz label, s.p.y rocks up on traffic to drop a polished twelve that bristles with thinly veiled menace. stuttering breaks, high tension pads and bursts of static introduce out of the blue, before unleashing the distorto drums and 20.000 volt bassline, laced with echoing laser stabs, and snatches of oldskool mentasm.

levante is the name of a warm wind, blowing between northern africa and spain during the summer months, a warm wind that especially surfers, but also other kinds of deeply relaxed summer people appreciate a lot. as some surfers and other people require some of this feeling already before next summer, schallbox records associated with monoroom has caught some of this wind and transformed it into levante una, which is basses, waves and beats that will blow some tube-heated pre-summer frenzy through the speakers and on the dancefloors. for an even longer surfing experience and a continued boomy feeling in your knackers (hmm sorry ladies?), martin eyerer, mike wall and steve cole have got their speedoes out and dived into 45°(celsius) warm drums and samples, in order to offer to you their personal renderings of levante una. wasn t there a track once, warm surferette??
