trouble in paradise is a pure testament to the roots of r&b flavored vocal house. in the danism vox the sweet simplicity of the standard boom & clap intro is well paced and leads into the funky bassline, while the enchanting chords set the stage for the outstanding vocal performance of sean williams. his r&b flavored, distinctive phrasing is mildly reminiscent of john legend, however, seans earthy quality shines through. the passionate & insistent lyrical melody never fails, climaxing into panoramic bridges while the memorable bah de dahsintermittently dot the production. its texture is a reminder of sophisticated nyc funk a la early 80s prelude/west end/sam records with a modern house feel. djs, if you want the ladies on the floor, trouble in paradise (danism vox) is the one to drop!

amazing atmospheric minimal !! this new 12 is a guy names hugh like who drops a great alienating track called >content. nice confident sounding track that is somewhere between minimal and house. nice classy build up and use of a violin makes this a track that really stands out and breaks with the standard techno formula without being akward. very dark and futuristic... would function very well as a sound track for a science fiction movie!.the other two tracks are in the same line and make this an outstanding forward thinking release! after being around on wite label for some time we received great reaction from guys like luciano, garnier, ivan smagghe, craig richards, michel de hey, mark august and others

a third ep on trenton from theodor zox and his copenhagen grooves! >moodswinger< is a bit of a more house-y record but still with theodors recognizable touch, short sounds and shuffled beats. still theodor explores new corners of funkiness while making sure he gives you that bounce. its summer after all. on the >moodswinger< remix, reynolds re-interprets the track with different keys. as its his forte, reynold drops some cinematic shit in the middle before bringing back the funk hard. all that and he still manages to keep the track tight and solid. the 2 tracks on the inside are a bit more experimental and make that record a perfect tool for early, peak time and after hours sets. thanks for supporting us and keep it real

for this fresh new ep. uto karem teams up with the very talented joseph capriati, and both of them put lot of energy to deliver this very solid work. a1. alive: is a very good tune that develops on a fantastic bassline and delivers plenty of authority, vast electronic percussion builds up during the outing and a superb breakdown makes the atmosphere go wild. huge tune 10/10 a2. insideout has a more funky feeling sound with shuffling percussion combined among wicked sampling work makes this track a great dancefloor filler. b1. fragile: is a fresh tune that marks once again the talents of mr.capriati, sharp snares, brilliant programming, makes this track irresistible to dance to. b2. little man: the track starts as an early morning tune, but then builds up on a funky twisted groove. great tune for ever kind of dancefloor

no matter what, an artistic work most likely results in the amalgamation of a whole bunch of different parameters such as what, where and how a creator may live at a specific period of his/her life... this being for much on the undeniable dimension taken by music on our existences and of course jays one... a man who, in addition to his numerous bookings, does currently like 24/7-ing production wise with this 3 tracker obviously conceived in the very depth of the nite...rubber face sounds as of those unlikely early morning deep bleeping dives into some wakin up city life. whereas deepen your mind seems like a never ending abstract frenetic journey to the heart of synthetized phonk melted with a drop of acid house inherited fx...dancers vibes�,�bring us into the deep territory with some hammond style keys and tough brooklyn beats.

incl spartaque remix !! contemporary techno bass line meets the whistles from early days of rave culture, cold and clear synthetic lead transforming and pulsating on the solid kick drum

hot on the heels of the bestselling second edition in the limited series, the ppf boys dropped off this outstanding third ep in the sample pleasures trilogy!!! as always, they expertly reference classic, though less well known underground gems from the last days of disco to early forays into proto house. heavily influenced by the fertile early 80s period, when european disco and boogie sounds took us in a more electronic direction, and the kind of boundary pushing, energetic, funked up soundtrack ron hardy laid down in the music box, the popular peoples front have established a formidable reputation for making stand out modern club cuts...

new artists on bombay, chicagos j & j soultempo come with a strong gospel influenced late night slammer for the dance floor. featuring the vocals of the renowned terry moore combined with the soulful chicago acid house production of j & j soultempo, this release has an real early nineties murky deep house sound with modern production. jason ferguson jaycee and jere mcalllister are emerging from a strong community of the new generation of producers and musicians based in chicago that will be turning heads in the house scene. some kinda good agrees with the new york vibey heads as well as the chicago and detroit kids the tune defines house as going back to just one category and one community.

daedelus links up with michael johnson for the kind of happy song/sad vocals mash down which alfred darlington learnt from listening to too much brazilian music. this, however, is not bossa. drawing on bits of italian disco, twisted trance, french house and more than a smattering of early 80s english new romanticism its the kind of glorious, upliftingly sad number for which sweet indiscretions were invented. the epic nature of this song is sure to make this a daedelus anthem

great early acid house bomb from tyree!

evolution: the process of change in the traits of one population and one generation to the next. this is exactly what the evolutions ep represents. the early days of detroit techno, what it was and what it has become today.

aka dan curtin - early works from 1991 - new series on delsin

dj-support by adam beyer, alexi delano, paco osuna!! on his 2nd ep on aesthetik brian james shows his true colours. dark, deep and stripped down techno with a solid old school, almost chicago-esque feel to it. rubber doll instantly grabs you through its simplicity and efficiency. pulsating beats, a mental bassline with a slight bleepy feel to it. a true techno dj s delight. madrid s techno maestro xpansul turns rubber doll into a harder edged techno stomper. edgy technoid sounds and xpansul s trademark dark rhythmic craziness makes this track essential to any self-respecting techno jock! panic in detroit is again a typical brian james throbbing techno piece for when dancefloors go into >mental mode<. bubbling custard takes a more experimental direction, reminiscent of early dark model 500 tracks, but jacked up in brian s very own wickedness.

peter grummich (kompakt/shitkatapult/mule electronics/karloff... ) comes up with his debut on progcity deep trax with two beautiful cuts. mountain paces into your ears with a deep wobbling groove, hypnotised by some nice floating synths, flying over the peaks of the hills. on the flipside peter shows his other side in form of lost, a slice of deep techy, but still warm and typically grummerized sound. perfect music for early outdoor parties and neverending clubnites.

early support finds favour with laurent garnier, claude von stroke, ralph lawson, mark knight and deep dish&#146,s sharam. it&#146,s been a while since we last heard from mike monday &#150, almost two years, to be exact when he delivered smorgasbord, which won numerous accolades and superlatives in the dance press. lauded as album of the month in i-dj, while dj mag called it a lp we just can&#146,t put down, others jump on board and claim it as a future classic. now signed to san francisco&#146,s om records label, the man who never fails to impress, educate and entertain is back. >the 11 11<&#146,(no, we&#146,re not sure what it means, either) is backed with the equally oddball titled &#145,>hello nest<. regardless, it&#146,s another terrific house offering that pairs dubbed-out beats with techno-tinged melodies to create a modern day jackin&#146,sound. the addition of a driving synth-line only helps this swing, shake&#145,n&#146,rattle in all the right places over a dirty-as-hell bassline. anything but what we&#146,ve come to usually expect from the label, the sund is an equally refreshing break from convention for om, and is taken from the upcoming album, songs without words&#146,by monday

big with sonar kollektiv posse, alex attias, peter kruder, dave ellesmere, kiki, agoria, fabrice lig, 3channels, chymera, simon baker, dan ghenacia, sasse !! + quarion remix... already featured on our current label compilation >grand cru 2008<, we now welcome andrès garcìa with his first regular release on our sub-imprint connaisseur supérieur. andrès, a geneva-based musician with spanish roots was early infected with the music virus. he started with classic piano classes at an early age, and moved from there to jazz and improvised music. this lead him to the conservatoire populaire de musique genève, where he attended classes in electro acoustic music. today he�sproducing solo or with partners like dandy jack, quenum or paris the black fu on prestigious labels like crosstown rebels, imploz and num, beside his work in the contemporary art section, for theatres and movies. >no more tears< is a genuine summer track with an alluring groove, mysterious oriental-sounding vocals and an excellent percussion work, which is tailor-made for deep and moody techno sets. drumpoet community�s man of the moment - quarion

>uno< has a much more fluid house sound than past electric press productions, which should fit in nicely with djs who are into moon harbour, joris voorn and early 2000 & one productions

allez allez are one of those early 80s hidden gems of the belgian new wave dance scene who shone so brightly for a few years (81 � 85) and then were gone � but not forgotten! based around the writing and production nucleus of brussels based kristiaan debusscher and nicolas fransolet a third dimension was added by american vocalist sarah osbourne and early hi tempo hits such as african queen, allez allez and shes stirring up became global club classics.

get back on board the underdog love train with two very rare tracks that were never released on 12 inch. love committee�s >pass the buck< is another norman harris production that was a huge music box record.. black ivory�s >longer ride< is an early leroy burgess track, he was on the first two black ivory lps. this is a classic example of the deep deep, disco soul sound. both tracks only have slight extensions to aid the contemporary dj

following the success of last years >nitrogen 2 oxygen 1< ep for siteholder records and the recently released >filthy fibber< ep on uncut, the duo of billy dalessandro and daniel mnookin have teamed up once again under the slutbox moniker to deliver the >backseat driver< ep. switching up the rotation, the ep kicks off with los angeles based producer jason emsleys >lick it, smack it, rub it down remix<, a filthy number that no amount of sludge can adequately describe. a subtle, yet effective rhythm section keeps the dance floor busy while the dirty synth overtones grow larger and larger until they have conquered ones brain synapses. feeding off of the original vocal and adding some x-rated lines of his own, if pornographic techno wasnt a genre before, it is now. the original is pure slutbox at its best. deep bass, seductive rhythm, addictive loops, and a spanish guitar combine to make this one another club killer. as if you had a choice, please make your way to the dance floor - the night has begun. rounding out the vinyl release is st. louis via berlin dj/producer butane (a.k.a. andrew rasse). known for his widely praised work on his own alphahouse label, as well as top techno imprints dumb unit, num, and rrygular, butane has long been a friend of the siteholder crew and takes this opportunity to make his debut on the remix tip. deep, druggy, and hypnotic, butanes >percocet remix< is what one has come to expect from the late night veteran. whether its early evening, time to jack, or after-after hours, the >backseat driver< ep is an all-in-one tech fueled necessity

incl dan curtin remix !! barcelona based label >vinyl did it< honors its name by releasing its first vinyl ep. dr. needles delivers nonstop minimal tech, demolishing and more on the harder side, no bleepy stuff here, perfect for keeping it going late at night. label co-founder, digital ape, remixes ping pong, giving it a much more dubby and atmospheric touch. he highlights the melody to give it amplitude and make of the original a track ideal for early on or for coloring a set with more melody. dan curtin, one of the most respected american techno producers, creator of excellent music for labels such as peacefrog, klang, dust science, tuning spork and his own metamorphic, remixes ping pong on the b side, taking it into another dimension

the eleventh chapter of the cardiac platinum series contains some serious early rave material

an incredible ep with namlook exploring the edges of minimal techno and deep ambient, while the remixes are pepe bradocks most dancefloor oriented works in ages! macro delivers a stunning release by a man who has not only produced 3 collaborational albums with richie hawtin, but also runs the ultra influential fax label with an artist roster ranging from speedy j to bill laswell to klaus schulze: namlook is a true electronic pioneer in a league of his own. the track >subharmonic atoms< was produced back in 1995 and is re-released by macro as a long out of print electronic prototype on the edge of minimal techno and ambient. but dont think this is a retro affair: subharmonic atoms sounds incredibly fresh and proves it is as groundbreaking, innovative and timeless as jeff mills early axis works or hawtins concept1 series. entirely remastered from the original source and cut in unparalleled sound quality, it is available on a single 12inch side for the first time ever. the release is completed with nothing short but french remix master pepe bradocks triumphant return to the dancefloor. his versions of >atoms< are rocking upfront house burners, which his fans have been waiting for since 2003s intrusion ep. definitely one of this years hottest packages

the chart buster martin solveig was glad when his roman friend and colleague lorenzo rumi called upon him to return to the roots of house music, starting from the early, glorious chicago scenario and its immediate and infectious groove. so far away came to life, as an impulse with only 2 days of hectic studio session and a few liters of coffee. the guys worked on a stricltly old school basis, then added a full vocal and new elements to bring the fine charme of todays house, turning so far away in a contemporary composition rich of surprises and thrilling breaks. the performance of australian soul singer rachel claudio gives a touch of attitude with passionates and unforgettable vocals. definitely another epic stone in the b2f wall!

paul hammond is a london-based producer and founder of the label real soon. he has been making records since 1984 originally with industrial avant-funk group a primary industry and then from 1989-1998 as ultramarine in partnership with ian cooper. paul�s musical roots were established in the early 1980s listening to the new wave funk & electronic experiments of a certain ratio, 23 skidoo, cabaret voltaire, the pop group, new order, gang of four, the slits, the raincoats and the broader independent scene of the time typified by labels such as factory, rough trade

this is soul jazz records new journey into the heart of new orleans and a guide to the citys finest funk music produced in the late 1960s and early 1970s. featuring everyone from the meters to eddie bo, lee dorsey to betty harris, this is a whos who of the crescent citys most famous and most funky! the city of new orleans has deep musical roots that stretch back to africa. new orleans first gave birth to jazz music, a black musical form centred on rhythm, improvisation, freedom and collectivity at the turn of the century. similarly in the late 1960s new orleans funk came to define a unique sound, mixing caribbean rhythms, new orleans second line syncopation and rhythm and blues, all played by the big easys finest musicians.

stage 6 for the d classics crew...and a sure stike again. back to back re edits from nico (on his own this time), getting back to the rawest side of discofunk. a side opens it with o2 party. nico come up with a kind of mash up, taking best bits from both versions from the original 12inch pressing, fill it with advance thinking efx, and make it into a proper floor burner. cosmic disco funk of highest order we say. b side is called solutions. here we have a total re arrangement from this early 80s slice of pure disco funk, still keeping the original feelgood touch from the original, but with a real modern thinking and great use of efx and tools tweeking in the making of the re edit. if you re not dancing on these two babies... you re probably already dead.

back to back killer selection and re works from one of frances hypest dj of the moment. smart re edits of these two hard to find slices of funk wax. original pressings reach stupid prices on ebay like sites... smiling is a belgium disco funk that very few know about. original version going from time to time very cheesy, it really needed a re edit to reach a much deserved club exposure. jammaster is a pretty sought after chicago funk classic, but strangely enough it got a very particular new jersey feel to it, even recalling some early blaze tracks... played and playlisted with the likes of dj cam, inflagranti, orest, pilooski...

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.
