once again, berlin based resopal label head mri sticks to his guns and brings you strangely funky tunes. weakend-polka titled ep is filled with three tracks, all spiked with steady beats, funk, deep melodic chords and an overall glamour house feel. this is not only very well produced house / funk music, its also a journey through deepness and a modern take on the soulful side of the electronic music which exceeds the genre by far with a rich, colourful palette of surprising, individual sounds, butter-smooth chords, some of the most raunchiest bassline that you will ever hear outside of drum n bass, cleverly constructed beat patterns that yet never fail to jack and swing and an understanding of dub that goes far beyond the random use of echo and effects. this is electric intergalactic soul/funk/house/techno. its noir, its dirty, its dangerous and risqu. on vinyl, as we like our little record-shop around the corner.

first on decks.de !!!

sebastian lutz has accrued a huge fan base amongst the crème de la creme: after releases on do easy records, bcb techno, suchtreflex and boug.records, he has won huge support from the likes of carl craig, dubfire, loco dice, karotte and laurent garnier. his track >i m tellin u< has also been chosen by baba sven väth for cocoons >sound of the 10th season< ibiza mix compilation.
now he is hitting up paso music with another dance-floor rocker entitled >the alchemist<. a tune that has already seen chart action from tiefschwarz some months before the official release date. we can expect big things from this track!
>the alchemist< a slow burner, but one that will have you swaying into the early hours. echo-filled and marked by an aqueous harmony, its is without doubt, a winner. two superbly fresh remixes are also presented by tolga fidan and marc miroir. both guaranteed to pleasure both your ears and feet.

new yorks elon provides metroline with yet another very fine release. clap back is a real gem. the original mix has a beautiful spacious and airy mix that allows the echo-soaked toms and the swirling vox stabs to breathe, and they really draw you in. an insistent bass pulse provides a structure for the snappy post-garage percussion to build into a lurching, lunging rhythm. very original, and very infectious. ekkohaus remix is a focused, driving deep house groove, shaped around lush, rounded stabs and heavily-filtered synths. claps and snare emerge from the beautifully balanced mix to give the track a real disco kick. the third track on the ep zero gravity has a more back-to-basics feel. the bassline is dubby, but the percussion has a classic french touch feel that gives the track real movement. a rhodes-like synth line wraps itself round the track like a warm fuzzy blanket. maximum comfort for house heads.

windy city producers steven hitchell and josh werner continuing to challenge and confound expectations as antenna international drops >fractalrip< a speaker-melting 303 drenched bomb from chicagos southside, harkening back to the earliest days of outlaw warehouse and loft parties this track is already doing damage in the crates of justin long, traxx and adam marshall. while on the b-side we partner with fellow chicago independent imprint nation to bring the >preludes and nocturnes< mixx of >introspective< from traxx faith cd to light. this version has been put through the sonic cacophony that is hitchells echospace studio, packed with myriad gadgetry of assorted compressors, delays and the infamous echo chamber to create an ominous, building, dark entity not for the faint of heart.

mistanomista is a musical and social project, the main purpose of the group is focusing peoples attention on regaining peace in tajikistan. friends will be friends!. >detroit session< is a tribute to 313 house scene strongly influenced by moodymans music, live funky bassline and jazzy chords mixed together with smooth broken house drum patterns, raw deepness and timeless music for sunday morning party. on the other side >take 1< catch the attention of deep house heads a stunning bassline track with synth dubby texture effected with many echo-delay shots, keeping the vibe on the underground side of house music.

i am europe is not only a lyrical genius, it sends you on a disco - ride, building up and breaking down to finally echo the great entertainers mind about europe, a toilet with no seat, flushing tradition down.

double a side release from a london based unknown artist on this dark dubstep label inspired by early 90s sampling culture. first tune up is a dark and heavy stepper with sinister vocals drenched in echo. mutated basslines sit nicely under face slap snares. flip side is a nice roller that never lets up, a chunky bassline plays off the relentless beats while paranoia samples bring on the thc induced psychosis.

after two very well received initial releases by federleicht, it is time to create a path for other enlightening artists and projects: for our third release we proudly present oculus, one of icelands most promising producers, and leib & seele.

fiction are a band who have been getting lots of love in the short time they have been together. their sound is hard-to-pin-down and idiosyncratic but that hasnt stopped 6music, artrocker and dummy all falling in love. comparisons? orange juice, adam and the ants and echo and the bunnymen with the intricacies of early foals.

simbad, recloose, archetyp and aaron jerome take turns, each in their own inimitable style, in delivering the finest electronic soul around. downbeat rhythms mingle with subtle jazz keys to create the ultimate echo for randolph s outstanding and powerful songs.
>echoes #1< is dedicated to all the basement soul and detroit fans.

great follow up on van rivers original wood sequence track and some more new tracks on this ep.
a1 hanna sandviks >employ< provides a raw no-nonsens straight forward techno track.
while the a2 side peter van hoesens remix for the subliminal kids >upp/ner< (f001) gives us just the basics, some straight up fierce minimal techno for the club!
on the flip tobias von hofstens >fuktish< produces some energetic breakbeats that surely put any dancefloor on fire.
b2 is where it all started with van rivers >wood sequence< track given the remix treatment by dvs1 and still maintaining its original deep and dubby vibe with its mesmerising synth stabs and space chord echo fx, job well done!

more than most, jason amms work as solvent embodies the original ethos of >synth-pop<: hook-laden music built lovingly out of the buzz and hum of analogue synthesizers. solvents newest full-length on ghostly international - his first in nearly six years - is called subject to shift, and its title reflects the changing tone of amms music.

scream is a trip through vocal-like echo chambers that is losing itself within the depth of reverb, its oriental aesthetics being similarly credible as the tidy bass beat is. nobody else has catapulted baby fords ifach sound into the year 2010 as consequently as sis did.

beautiful instrumental mix of a famous disco tune that was big at the paradise garage. rare accapellas on the flip!

vivace is a project of stephen hitchell (cv313, echospace, intrusion) and is a unique hybrid of deep house, dub, jazz, & soul, a sort of new school/old school fusion which pays homage to chicago house heroes like chez damier & ron trent in their prescription era but with a modern twist. this project is the continuation of his previous soultek material initially featured on germanys force tracks & force inc family of labels back at the start of the century. the title track in its original form is a sub-aquatic journey through space and bass, as deep as you would come to expect from an echospace production but the sound palette has changed, shifting into a world filled with ambience and free form jazz. the use of live instrumentation & vocals are a driving force behind this project and add a depth and soul oceans deep, its like melting in sonic butter. the soultek mix is a frenzy of edits, funked up and sounds like it could be a schizophrenics take on house music, brendon moeller dives deep into soul, shifting and morphing the original into a proper late night house jam you could only imagine derrick carter or theo parrish dropping at the wee hours of the morning. the closing intrusion mix gives the original a frosty lime green haze best absorbed while inhaling, real trippy stuff. this first release has already earned countless play from francois k and in its inception (as soultek) was hailed as >jacks echo -- the future sound of chicago< by de-bug magazine, germany

solid building acidic mini tech two tracker

beep beep beep. remix remix remix!
on the a-side, the loco dice dub is a perfect set-builder, one of his best remixes to date. purist loco fans might also be happy to hear that tigas vocal has been 99% extracted from this version, leaving behind only the echo of disco-pop in a solid, dj-friendly groove.
kaines mix keeps things closer to the original, emphasizing the pop punch-lines with staccato beeps and a chunky beat. positive vibes here from a bright young uk producer.
finally, space-disco maestros emperor machine turn in another epic roller complete with a brilliant analog synth jam finale.
great job!

nice price deal !!! in solotempos latest effort there s more than just a faint echo of the irresistible grooves of warm, soulful detroit house. it s highly danceable stuff that won t hit you in the face, but will bathe you in sensual analogue sounds. every single tone on this record is of analogue origin, all mixed in real time to what essentially is an electronic live album.

is it balearic return with the seventh release on their acclaimed label ! is it balearic..? recordings present the deadstock 33s - a very >spicy< journey into wide screen space dub from the mind of justin robertson. >drifting on a wave< is a lush sweeping electro dub soundtrack from the master of dapper balearia ! despite perhaps being more well known for his heavy weight club sets, justin was instrumental in establishing the deep roots of manchesters balearic scene, along with aficionados moonboots and jason boardman. his spice night was a legendary event in the north of england and added a distinctly english spin to the balearic blueprint. celebrated underground edit maestros main stem tackle the remix, creating a beautiful epic balearo-dub soundscape which already sounds like an adriatic classic finally >echo sound< wraps it all up in a slow motion cosmic disco fashion, with more than a little italo swagger, twisted in all the right places. is it balearic…?-oh yeah

bongard problems is classic cornish influenced breakbeat techno with squidgy roland bass and 8 bit dirt percussion. motion studies is a swingy non linear acid disco trip with moody chord backdrops and some unexpected twists and turns along the way. pixel wrap is medieval echo techno with inhuman voices that give way to a late 80s rave breakdown that builds up into something else again. excalibur is a camelot techno galloper, complete with arthurian lyrics. blank expanse is the kind of music depeche mode ought to be making if they hadnt turned into u2.

4 track teaser taken from the album dont feed da animals!!

g&s is nadia ksaiba and matt nightmoves waites and show me the good times is a chunky, bass heavy beast full of live percussion, space echo fx and sparkling electronic flourishes. theres also someone from a rather famous pop group banging and shaking things in the background, we ll leave it to you to work out who...

one of technos most diverse and prolific producers ‘mark broomis back again to demonstrate the definition of dub techno. this is a purist record through and through that unashamedly harks back to the classic chain reaction and basic channel sound, something that the world and its djs crave endlessly, and rightly so. all four cuts sail forth in calm warmth and steady bass, massive reverbs and echo are worked intermittently lifting everything upwards like a strong cosy breeze. the listener is forcibly bounced up and down in a gentle fashion, (we would expect nothing less than gentlemanly behaviour from broomer) and through proper application of decibels a full cellular body massage can result. this is essential dub for the techno journeyman out there. not only great to listen to, but also a helping hand with your exfoliation routine.

1st part of the 2003 label compilation!!

the highgrade-collective welcomes a new member in its rows, marcus sur, who until now has released one ep on highgrade digital and contributed one track to the >our thing< label-compilation. as-well new on board is the berlin based simon beeston, coming to us from new zealand. it was high time to dedicate a various artists to the newbies, alongside with the old hands tom clark and daniel dreier. marcus surs >gold< heralds the ep hypnotically, simultaneously delivering the proof how perfect his tracks fit into the highgrade label-sound. welcome on vinyl, mr. sur! in the following simon beeston drags us with >idle housewives< into dark echo chambers, teasing with weird sounds, which finally melt together into to a unique groove. label-boss tom clark in alliance with daniel dreier use their >13 cookies< to explore, what happens if you lock two versatile producers like them into one studio. the result is nothing to sneeze at, a massive groove, which keeps three feet on the floor while having the head up in the clouds. adding another facet to this varied ep!

the third installment in the catz n dogz vinyl series is a showcase for two standout songs off their album stars of zoo. >sf< is a throwback to classic house tracks, with a modern twist - a playground full of joyous children have invaded its sly, bongo-laden grooves. yet these precocious youngsters are only part of the story – the beats insistent and ever-changing swing never lets up for more than a couple of moments. >2< is more ominous but no less effective. its primary percussion enters like springs filling up an echo chamber, gradually morphing into several competing themes that weave together throughout the track. 2s bass is a serious force, creating a physical presence that must be heard on a large system to be believed!

omanko is the only word that is unmentionable in japanese media and public speech. its also the next single from catz n dogz - a strange hybird of cinematic swells, quirky natural drums and popping guitar plucks. its unorthodox groove builds relentlessly, anchored by a shouting chorus and warm bass bubbles that swell from the depths like some massive ancient sea creature. they take their time building to the climax, finishing the track with late-entering keyboard theme that quickly swirls into a frenzy. perfect for tipping that peaktime crowd over the edge! the italoboyz remix completely remolds the groove to fit their distinctive vision, seamlessly integrating shards from the original into their tension-fuelled agenda. breakdowns of varying sizes dominate the sonic landscape, as their annihilating kick plays hide and seek with the strings throughout the track. finally, all the elements are reunited by the echo-drenched vocal line and percussive baritone sax stabs – a satisfying finale to this latenight masterpiece.

after the success of apple pips 1st release from martyn, we are back with another treat for music heads.. our 2nd release comes from brendon moeller aka beat pharmacy brendon. on the a-side under his real name, brendon has created an 127bpm big room classic, submerging the original elements under layers of delay and echo, deep but grooving…on the flip he dons his beat pharmacy guise, slows things down to 120bpm & spaces things out in fine style, utilising the originals abstract riff and resetting it in a really exciting new house tempo context.. with releases coming on rekids, third ear, & deep space and remixes for echospace and others coming up it looks like a great year for brendon and pips is proud to present this exciting clash of styles…

excellent techhouse! heavy support by someone else, afrilounge, benno blome, sian, mijk van dijk... dani casarano & felipe valenzuela (connaisseur rec.) from chile and fabio gianelli (material rec.) show their kind of style between deep techhouse and rhythmetic techno!! 10 anos is an amazing timeless electro-house tune - extremely rhythmic and funky - flip over for the phenomenal deep tech house tune esperanza - sonorous subbass, melodic horns and some metal echo chambers - all continuously driven forward by a powerful stomping bassline - massive

3 track ep incl marc depulse , bleib anders, daniel briegert – underneath my bed. oliver neufang & nico schwind - echo. 3 brand new traxx with the flicker typical deep sound. its about innovation and class! use your ears, here comes poems of the underground

would you have remembered? with the debut album of the 32-year-old warszawian, téchnè, cocoon recordings has released the first artist album ever on the label six years ago, at that from an artist who was not well-known to a large extent back then. this has changed fundamentally: with his releases on his own label recognition as well as on trapez or klang elektronik, sienkiewicz belongs to those ambassadors of modern individual electronic dance music who set benchmarks. this is also his demand with the two tracks on “my little place”, meanwhile his fourth release for cocoon recordings. while the over-heated my little place re-interprets the credo of dub with polyrhythmic elements, delays and echo in an somehow unfamiliar way, “com-bat” carries on sienkiewicz tradition of putting hypnotic sound evocations close to the ten-minute mark. with intensive melancholy, the percussive bass rotor of com-bat creates a bewitched hymn for sunrises somewhere in between the urban desperation of detroit, the atmosphere of after hours and balearic bliss

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.

supported by 2000 and one, anja schneider, jesse rose, loco dice, shlomi aber, trickski, tobi neumann, to name a few.. once again theres a real nod to the old school here in a track inspired by arthur russell. rich, warm analogue pads and subtle fx flashes from the space echo build an enchanting groove. the intensity gradually develops with sounds slowly evolving, lending a deep hypnotic feeling to proceedings, until the chord progression opens out and you cant help but smile. a genuine end of night anthem and when dixon does his own edit you know your onto something special... version: double for your money, with an extra version of the original that doesnt open out into the full stabs and maintains a deeper groove. martin landsky remix: with a tight, tribal tom pattern and straight ahead groove martin landsky achieves a darker more spaced out feeling with his remix. he pushes the pads to a dubbed out climax without fully opening out the progression and this fully hits the spot. martin landsky has been making waves as a dj and producer since the mid-nineties and is one of the key producers at steve bugs excellent poker flat recordings and running his own intim records.. hes compiled many mix cds for labels such as poker flat, systematic and the partysan compilation series. his debut album was >in between< for pokerflat and since then hes remixed the great & good as well as producing several stunning releases and jetting about with his box of records

huge remixes - by plasmik (connaisseur), andomat 3000 (einmaleins, cadenza , cecille...)& tim gregor ! big with loco dice, clive henry, margaret dygas, jeff samuel, funk d void

the title track recalls those half forgotten dreams of positivity and optimism inspired by early us house music… a nostalgic arrangement of arpeggiated synths, high string lines, analogue drum machines and a 1980s vintage, new order like stepped bassline. housemuzik 1.2,3 takes us into much dark territory, dragging a similar palette of sounds into a dense psychedelic mix of acid guitar, pitched down demonic vocals and disorientating spacial effects. dont listen to this with the lights off! fajr dub is an epic, stoned dub collage built around classic space echo delay & feedback tricks, spectral voices and a shifting synth bass pattern, all underpinned by a soft pulsing backbone reminiscent of rhythm & sound productions.

breakdance has all the early electro hip hop influences but santos brings a classic sound bang up to date. oldskool drum sounds groove alongside acid bleeps, crunchy synths and squelchy bass. any b boy or b girl will be body popping along to this for sure. its been included on a new elite force compilation for lot 49 due out in november so its looking to be a biggie already. the echobox is a proper twisted club banger that is purely designed for peak time devastation. the tribal groove is crushed to bits as are most of the elements, which is a recipe for intense gritty head twisting.

a stunning 3 track single, in the vein of classic planet e, basic channel and 3 chairs productions. a fruitful venture into the crossing zone of deep house, techno and dub

a neck snapping, feet stomping vintage angel alanis chicago hard house record. flip it for some new style minimal beasts, bass and a blast of dirtiness. strong keys that will echo through out a big room and party rocking tracks that will crave the hunger of hard house, electro house and techno djs looking for that in between sounding record thats a sure shot climax

big with: the black dog, rob da bank, keith downey, tomaz, mary anne hobbs, shelley parke and mark eg!! dncns debut ep for dust science shows just how far hes come in the last five years. its a resoundingly strong package with every track a potential a-side. main cut >dust to dust< is a throbbing dubby techno stomper, opening with sulphuric bong noises that give way to oodles of fat wobble. the track is slowly subsumed in layers of fizzing shards of echo. anyone taken with villalobos recent experiments really must check this out

great electronica ambient tracks !!

underground darling mathew jonson with another extra-large three track stunner: right from the start swirling synth over a pinching beat suck you into a vortex before a rubbery bassline takes the lead and an electrical storm of dark, haunting sounds wrap you in. well, words dont do this truly symphonic oeuvre no justice - this has to be experienced in the dark and in earsplitting volume. on the flip mj gives free reign to his unlimited creativity with an impressive soundtrack-style tableau of electronic jazz, sounding like late bass-revolutionary jaco pastorius descending form the outerworld to interveave some of his crazy warbled, bend notes into a messianic david axelrod arrangement, mixed at lee scratch perrys echo chamber. miles above your typical pain-by-numbers club fare - simply huge!

(prod by trouble men ?) remake of soul s classic with a terrific soulful house feel to it its been brilliantly reconstructed and the producer wishes to name anoymous but we suspect it maybe someone like trouble men... as the production here is that classy
