daniel sternberg, eightyaxt years old, born naive and innocent in berlin, has been a dj and producer since the early 90s. since then, using the artist names daniel steinberg and harry axt, he has produced numerous tracks, remixes, and a mix-cd on labels such as kiddaz.fm, front room recordings, micro.fon,, and leftroom. his debut album, planet axt, comes out on 02.03.2009 on the label of his booking agency rompecabeza. the vinyl version presents eight as of yet unreleased tracks.

part 1 of the new double-release from tiefschwarz aims at the heart of house music: soul. “on&on” is a first-class arranged club track. starting off with a wonderful mellow theme, that is adumbrated by the bass line in an one-and-a-half minute long exposition. the track ups the tempo with an additional hi-hat resolving into a shuffle beat. in double time, we move on towards the first break. here an edgy, minor key-chord sequence is introduced, making it obvious for everyone, that this track is gonna take off. eventually the keys function as a counterpoint to the classic bass line. a four-to-the-floor “on&on” vocal sample takes over after the break, adding another percussive aspect. as the track goes on a mulitiplicity of side elements sets in - no room for tediousness! in the end the “on&on” vocals resolve into “it’s so simple… . who knows, but this could be a broad hint to all the tech-house academics out there. no matter what, this grande finale raises a smile from every last sweaty soul on the dancefloor. with “best inn” on the b-side tiefschwarz create a dance classic, dressed in 2009 fashion. reminiscent of long gone nu-groove times, a traditional house beat - including a tiny off-beat tinker bell - blasts out of the speakers. a slured synth-organ provides the track with that certain edgyness. here, the brothers keep it laid-back yet exciting at the same time. this piece goes on and on and on - and you yourself run alongside, not wanting to pause. but watch out! at the latest in the second break, tiefschwarz put nostalgia to the test via some shockingly muffled metal drums. one of these moments, where you wish yourself back into the middle of an eight-hour deep-house set in 1992. the train departs. one thrillingly beautiful landscape after another runs by, until the warm sun strokes of the south suddenly rouse you out of slumber. arrived

ian pooley makes his debut appearance on simple to kick start what is shaping up to be a bumper year for the label. german ian pooley hails from mainz but recently found a new home in berlin. ian is well known as a remixer and for his own prolific output bridging the gap between techno and house, creating superb tracks such as the massive >celtic cross< & >chord memory< on the force inc. music works, as well as recording more housier and disco orientated workouts for labels such as john acquavivas definitive recordings, effective records and nrk sound division. ian has also remixed for daft punk, the cardigans, the beloved, green velvet, modjo, nick holder and many more. ian has recorded two albums for v2 records, his debut >meridian< was a classic late 90s pooley album, full of tech-house delights and including the massive >whats your number< as remixed by jazzanova and bob sinclair. followed by huge albums >souveniers< and >since then<, and most recently >in other words< featuring robert owens, tim fuller and perry colo. most recently hes been busy djing across the globe, producing new music for the likes of us and producing for artists such as get physicals dj t. nightscape - a deep, heads down house groove that locks you in with its lovingly crafted percussion and beautifully bouncy bassline, whilst the wistful, melancholic pads are food for the soul. ians experience in production shines throughout the ep, making the tracks as much of a delight on the head phones as they are on a function one soundsystem. difference (jupiter/eight mixes) - intricate percussive rhythms combine with a rubbery bassline and rich poly stabs to set the tone. strings build and release the tension and a delicate piano riff brings the soul. the evolution of the patterns sees a heady crescendo for the floor. for the >eight mix< ian reworks the stabs and bass-line and pushes out a more straight ahead groove

breaking the rules and beeing anything but mr. nice guy - with this massive new ep on karateklub blood & tears shows his straight, trippy, disturbed and mindthrilling way of getting a dancefloor boiled, slaughtered and painted blood-red. blood on the dancefloor is a hypnotising anthem, a bow to the sound of frankfurt of the mid ninetees, pounding more than nine minutes, combining the catchy grooves of todays- and the spirit of oldschool techno with rising pads and pushing sequences. this was made to be played on big floors on very high volume, so turn it up and see what happens when the drums return after a breathtaking break...because blood will follow blood - flip the disk and drop the needle. another advanced dj tool awakens the b-side - your truth was just another lie, something like the beautiful silence before the storm which is the heavy and absolutely non-compromising i wish you were dead. eight minutes of hate and destruction, of nothing but pure techno and a statement that needs no fucking explainings!

again an excellent ep by tresor resident dj mike dehnert. four striped killer detroit/berlin flavoured techno tracks

rock trio year long disaster is led by guitarist and vocalist daniel davies who grew up with an insiders perspective being the son of kinks guitarist dave davies. rich mullins has toured the world in his past rock lives with karma to burn and speedealer, and brad hargreaves is certainly no stranger to bright lights and big cities as his moonlighting gig is as the drummer of eight times platinum third eye blind. together, they are indeed, year long disaster.

hinode’ is a tribute and farewell to our favourite club, yellow in tokyo. we’ve played some great gigs there, six or seven hours in the dark with eight hundred people and one strobe light – perfection. endless saki in the bar, obligatory stalkers (“93!” and hedgehog girl step forward please), smoke and heat on the dance floor. finally emerging deafened and sun blinded into the brilliance of saturday mid-morning in tokyo… backing up the original is an exceptional remix from our favourite techno genius - fergie.

jeder einzelne der 13 tracks ist auf seine weise uplifting und angenehm, besonders wenn przygoddas lebensgefährtin geka winkler ihre wunderbare stimme beisteuert wie in den tracks cliff und drive. ebenso gelungen ist der unglaublich zurückgelehnte, aber dabei null kitschige saxophonlastige introtrack when you step und die vergleichsweise rockigen tracks two for future und a rockets nightflight, in denen man dann auch die prise punk entdecken kann. zum schluss bekommt man dann mit home of the wishes noch eine perfekte hymne, die zu praktisch jedem happy end der filmgeschichte passt, mit auf den weg.

antonellis sechstes album wurde ausschließlich auf analogen drumcomputern, synthesizer & sequenzern eingespielt. das resultat ist so rough & gefühlvoll, dass >soulkiller< mich unwillkürlich an den garage rock der stooges denken lässt

tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. born in liverpool, his love for the music was passed on to him by his father, a record collector and former dj, who introduced him to crate-digging at the early age of eight. his roots stem from black music. hip-hop will become his musical bases before he discovers the acid-house explosion at the mythical hacienda in manchester. he naturally starts mixing in the late 80s/early 90s, playing a mixture of rare groove, deep-jazz, deep house, etc. he then turns to production and is noticed by gilb-rs fine-tuned ears who signs him on the spot. releases on labels like wavetec and mule musiq are planned further in the year. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything

next cadenza killer ep !! the four cuts on this doublepack are monsters all, between eight and 13 minutes apiece. coming hot on the heels of similarly sprawling releases from ricardo villalobos and luciano & thomas melchior, they confirm cadenza s commitment to stretching electronic dance music s form to fit a more expansive frame. these are anthems, but they re anthems of a different sort. while too many hits beat their riffs like dead horses and treat their listeners little better, loco dice turns their attentions to gauzier, wispier elements: ghost melodies, feathery percussion, iridescent timbres that flash once and are gone

mobilee is on >back to back< mission and presents the first release of a four-piece vinyl remix series including eight exclusive in-house remixes. a - sebo k reworks gummihz s >isolate<. he just took the essential >rave signal<, modified the groove and added some spezial effects. the most reduced sebo k production so far. aa - prosumer gets the upper hand on sebo k, recreating the latter s >moved (featuring prosumer)< in prosumer s own image. and you thought dude was just a singer - think again. >think again< might as well be mobilee s motto, for the way the label lays bare the skeleton of rave music—and the way it amplifies berlin minimal into something throbbing, overwhelming, all-consuming. watch your back: mobilee is coming up from behind, and back to back is the rearview image of the shape of rave to come
