alienated intergalactic electro, reminiscent to urban tribe/dj stingray - tip!

>detroit underground put out wildly variant musical styles on their label, from minimal to house, techno and electro - they certainly cant be genre pigeon-holed! this release comes from swedish duo kritical audio and spans through the aforementioned genres and at moments even into dubstep, breaks and d&b territory. moody, mind-tripping journeys are intricately created on katacomb through eerie synths, deep glitchy 303 basslines and arresting electro rhythms. >bugsmasher< rides electro punches and pounding 303s while the title track finds itself with a low slung, dubstep feeling. >oceans 1300< meanwhile explores yet another route with emotive synths and tight percussion, while the spaced out atmospherics of >taipei< round off an excellent 12inch

from his roots in early italo disco , a sound that inspired him since his childhood, this mysterious producer comes out with a genuine gem of pure balearic and disco mood, among the use of real hardware and various instruments creating this classic extended disco version that sounds in an actual disco edit style, even if the song is brand new. leading the voice is the huge, a magical voice and multi instrumentalist from italy: the combo between the two is explosive, mellow and at the same time light and pure. then the remix by melchior sultana, famous for his collaboration with owen jay on jus eds label (underground quality), creates a magical and elegant slow tempo version, chilled and funk at the same time, with a totaly new mood and some real rhodes and guitar played and sequenced in an akai mpc sampler. last the house electro disco dont play minimal, play minigolf, that follows a hypnotic mood bass synth, accomplished with ethereal chords and a super funky trumpet, sampled directly from will powers masterpiece of the early 80s…. ta ta taaa

decabaret seconds release is a pure blend of finest detroit techno/electro. franki juncaj moving forward his dj 3000 moniker to focus on producing music delivers an electro stomper, >waiting in the dark< will give you thrills! second an aquatic electro mix by dj stingray from the drexciyan sea depths. aux 88 makes a top quality electro-techno bass remix. and the last but not the least tom linder from the detroit techno militia turns it into a techno floorfiller. detroit techno on top non-stop!

dj t.s pleasure principle immersed itself, wholly and rapturously, into electronic musics legacy of soul, and helped to usher in a new period of groove-heavy deepness. like an antidote to clinical club sounds, album standout tracks like sense inject some well needed groove into the dancefloor. the maxi version of sense partners faraway melodies with james teejs breathy vocals that get up close and personal. a deep electro funk bass riff establishes its intent, and snaky percussion leads to a more structured house beat. piping flute sounds and drum echoes add an element of swing, while analogue handclaps and the tracks distinctive bass line recall its retro pedigree. newcomers tale of us continue their journey into dark minimalism, with a remix that isolates the percussion and vocals, shrouding both in reverb for maximum atmospheric effect. a sense of unease pervades through the saturated bassline and slow delayed handclaps, creating frosty mists and dark corners within the synth-tech house arrangement. hot natured duo lee foss and jamie jones next bring their sunny midas touch to the proceedings. teasing out the intro with high hats and layered vocals, a sense of anticipation is high. it blooms into sleek, skittering beats and otherworldly sounds, with a bass line thats been cut & paste back into place, before it delves deeper into a menacing deep bass synth rumble. the club version begins with a kick, deep echoes and meek percussive sounds that loop upwards through the scale. the distinctive bass line and handclaps begin, then teejs unadulterated vocals are pushed to the fore. brittle metallic synth flares appear from below the bass-heavy beat and recede again, ending in an electro-disco retro groove

for all the wonderfully subtle shell-breaking he did on his full-length, mark e falls back on old, slow habits for his new single, >the day<. and welcomely, we might add. pitching things down to a basement lounge floor crawl, the midlands dj/producer wraps his always chugging kicks and snares in serpentine synth-bass, jazzy, tripleted hi-hats, and moaning, wordless soul vocals. its grasp is tantric—hinting coyly at ecstatic release, but never fully delivering. for the vinyl junkies that bought stone breaker and missed out on it the first time around (it was absent from that version), this release should be a no brainer. but >the day< isnt carrying all the weight here. a new track called >special fx< will have sample hounds—particularly those with a thing for classic electro-pop—salivating. and the oft imitated, never replicated prins thomas shows up on the flip for a (naturally) eleven- minute revamp of >the day<, livening up the bass and drum patterns, adding in strings, piano, guitar, organ, and ending up with something that totally could have emanated from a camaro at some point in the early seventies. (albeit, one owned by someone with interest in eleven-minute instrumentals.) it even has a fade out!

excellent synth pop / electro longplay

kill kill is the name of the last ep of wat, resulting from the electro rock odyssey wonder. a video clip, filmed in los angeles, accompanies the output of the song, with remy cayuela (one more prod) at the helm. the track, electro tinged funk and hip-hop, sounds like the soundtrack of a rebounding road movie. kill kill is an indirect reference to movies from the 60’,s, and among others, those of russ meyer. faster pussycat kill kill, does it ring a bell?
support by : bbc radio1, larry tee, le mouv , steve aoki (dim mak), far too loud, radio nova, dj mag spain, maelstrom...

crosstown rebels get set to unleash the power of the model feat. my favourite robot with a vampish feast of 80s proto-house in -still in my heart- followed by a playful epic rework from ivan smagghe and a dose of warped late night techno courtesy of two mesmerising brett johnson remixes. the model makes a storming entrance into the crosstown camp with the original of -still in my heart- spinning a circus of 80s inspired melodies, rave synths, techy bleeps and stabbing bass. my favourite robots soul-penetrating vocals nonchalantly weave a darker thread through the dizzy heights of electro stylings supplying a vein of moody romance

black vinyl , versalifes n.t.a. part 2 is taking us further down deep into the night! this is some of the at widest, cleanest, most absorbing electro, techno tracks we have heard in a while! especially the b-side tracks oozes twilight suave and atmosphere with its precise electro pulse and caressing midnight sounds. versalife is creating a setting with sounds radiating the midnight atmosphere that reflects the twin peak-esque life on a almost deserted windy dutch coastal island where the clouds rush through the dark night time skies projecting all variations of grey and black on the mystifying dunes. futuristic electro techno tracks with emotive synth work created with exploratory imagination.

after the very well-received work >in g< borngräber & strüver have not been resting on their laurels but made >reise< (journey). they extended the concept of >21th century electro motoric kraut< on the new album >urlaub< and added their preference for disco music. like a friend of the label said: >reise – sounds like a composition for the 20th birthday of carl craigs planet e<. borngräber & strüver have consistently worked on developing their minimalist compositions without taking into consideration conventions. the nearly 17-minute >reise< that starts extremely held back, grows into a groovy trip you can hardly escape. >berlin tribal music< has a radically minimalist approach and a surprising break like a portal to a parallel dimension. the last part of the album >dancing queen< has nothing to do with abba. the piece is a missing link between electronic h-pop and groovy club sounds.

nice price deal !!! the music of the cologne based duo kitbuilders can be described as electro with scifi-punkrock-energy and a grebo edge. a remarkable element in the tracks are the vocals of female singer ripley. in the kitbuilders-cosmos you will also find the sparks in their moroderphase, chris and cosey, neu and devo. but their music is not 80s retro stuff, they include a lot of futuristic and fresh elements in their songs. after a handful of 12 inch singles and compilation appearances on labels like electrecord, world electric, vertical and ersatz audio, >wake up< was the debut full length from the duo. the us magazine xlr8r called it >...an excellent hybrid of the past and present<. alongside american outfits like adult. and fischerspooner, kitbuilders are at the forefront of the worldwide electro revolution. equal parts moroder and liquid sky, the duo of benway and ripley fluctuate between adrenaline-rush bpm 909 beats, fluttering sci-fi arpeggiations and tense, sinister moodiness.

harbour city sorrow will showcase different sides of techno. after exploring the electro side of things we now go more towards the deeper housey side of techno. xdb (kosta athanassiadis, metrolux, sistrum) is walking on the border of various styles, creating his own unique blend of techno and house.. youll find 3 tracks of his hybrid style on here. deep sound layers and almost jackin rhythms. well crafted raw analog tracks that will appeal to the club jocks as well as the more adventurous deejay and home listener. music that is not fitting to just one main category.. just how we like it.

in fact, >in a hole<, the a-side of their latest 12 inch, is even more dream-steeped than its predecessors. relying on vintage (and in some cases, home made) gear, simon and tsai have constructed a song that is syrupy in pace. darkened tones mingle with floating percussion and vocals processed to nearly melancholic depths. >cant feel my knees< picks up the tempo, and feels slightly sunnier in comparison (>perhaps a result of practicing for the first time in a place with windows<, according to simon), with rippling keys that give way to an open, spacious sigh and an almost playful interlude of warmth and bass punctuations. the two have said theyre interested in the meeting point of house and noise, and thats particularly apparent on the two remixes that appear here. >in a hole dub< is slower, more bare-boned and ghostlier than the track from which its derived, while >cant feel my knees dub< is filled with white noise emissions and hissing electro shocks.

on the a side, asc rolles out another deep and precise track on levitated records. on the flip, method one and stunna collaborate again to continue this exciting partnership. this track touches on elements of techstep, electro, atmospheric and leftfield electronica and >orange to red< bridges the gap between the dancefloor and the science lab.

damian and clement of dop fame return to circus company with a new project of dubbed out late night madness featuring vocalist brian brewster. far more sinister then dops recent output, 7 days features 4 tracks which explore am acidic realm of dark ruminations and swamp dredged rhythms. >introduction< aquarius starts things off with a basic channel-esque wash of chords, noise and spoken word sure to appeal to fans of berlins longstanding dub techno tradition. >so low< comes off like a chopped and screwed take on italo heard only through the mixers effect sends, where modulating analog sequences and a thundering motorik back beat desperately swim to the surface of a blackened ocean gasping for air. >before u go< lightens the proceedings ever so slightly, upping the tempo and allowing the undulating synths lines to sparkle in the periphery, while the incessant vocal encourages all self-respecting punters to stay on the floor until the last track has passed ! its final groove. finally >universe< comes off like a lost out take from kool keiths dr octagon project with its classic jacking electro beat and sultry effected vocals.

a new 3-track 12 by canadas solvent, known for his melodic electro and vocoder pop releases on ghostly, morr music, and his own suction records. for minimalrome, solvent debuts a new approach, so please dont expect any sweet solvent melodies this time, in fact, dont expect any melodies at all. here solvent delivers 3 tracks of pure bunker/rephlex-style acid, monotonous and pounding. fasten is the most straight-up acid track present, nothing but 707/606 percussion + x0xb0x squelch. latch and secure are more dark, abstract, dirty. secure is epic madness, clocking in at over 16 minutes, at times slow and prodding, elsewhere growling furiously in sheets of distortion. every track has been edited down from hour+ long hardware studio jams, with the computer acting strictly as a multi-track audio recorder. solvents customized acid box, a heavily modified x0xb0x, features heavily on every track, alongside classic techno boxes like the 808, 101, and pro one. limited to 250 copie

hypnotizing acid-ebm-electro-wave masterpiece from düsseldorf. tolouse low trax is detlef weinrich, one of the members of german band kreidler, dj and co-owner of the düsseldorf based club/bar salon des amateurs. tolouse low trax remixes noblesse obliges already fantastic >the great electrifier< into a mesmerizing and highly original blend of electronic dub and new-wave-like techno. the other three tracks are solely by the hand of tolouse low trax. his unique signature is all over it: teutonic marching beats with layers of spaced-out, dubby electronics. the perfect soundtrack for a german party in an african cocktailbar during a full eclipse in the middle of a coup d etat. fear and loathing in düsseldorf. highly original and an absolute must-have.

come end of may, dancefloors will be overdosing on awesome music. legendary dirty man housemeister will blow out his third mother-l fucking-p >music is awesome< for the wicked, and rave will reign again. but you can’t just stick your face out into this kind of quality noize - it would mini-melt right off, see!? so housemeister took instant classic electro anthem title track >music is awesome< to some players and friends and said >look boys, i m putting out a smaller dose upfront so nobody will die on the dancefloor, now who s gonna help me save some lives?< everybody was in on this ep effort, of course.

danish duo laid back made a most surprising comeback to the clubs in 2010 with >cocaine cool<. not that they had ever been really forgotten: their electro pop classic >white horse< remained a sure shot in clubs for the thirty years after its release 30 years back and a constant inspiration to boatload of diverse artists from techno to hip-hop. >cocaine cool< was recorded at the same session but the ironic vocals ridiculing label executives blowing up their frail ego with the chemical substance were deemed to risquee at that time, so the recording collected dust in some box until last year. bostons >soul clap< another duo hailed as one of the hotest things in clubland known for their eclectic funk-rooted taste. they opt for a cool sparser arrangement leaving out the “white horse -like chords. a loose, dry electro funk beat, hpynotic one-note synth, few dub effects and additional vocoder vocals do the trick bravorously. besides an instrumental version theres also a harder jacking dub take sounding like early chicago house edits. and while the boys are add it they also re-edited another huge one from laid back: >baker man< that managed the unlikely balancing act of not only hitting it bigtime in the charts but also in the emerging balearic scene. this 12 inch is cool in every which way!

ramona loves roman. roman loves ramona. the two just cant help it. naturally, the desperate housemen ep is his second 12-inch effort for live at robert johnson and a showcase of his versatility. like a crosspollination of his efforts as solyent green, roman iv or under his original name, you get four distillates of house music, cold wave and frankfurt-style electro-funk. distinctive, sparkling, 4x4 and paying attention to detail, this is like an update of the unpredictability that once made a nu groove record so exciting, fresh and not desperate at all. truly romantic!

two killer detroit-tracks by stephen brown on his first appearance on heliocentric music. releasing outstanding techno for the last 16 years and appearing on labels such as transmat, djax-up and music man, stephen rarely needs any introduction. the record starts with >hmi<, a very deep dancefloor-experience with lots of spheric sounds, which make the track perfect for the crowd as well as for home-listerners. >my harmony< is of such a beauty, that one simply has to listen. ambient-soundscapes and electro-drummings are the key here and take the listener on a truly fantastic journey!

after a few years releasing singles under different monikers, brooklyn producer lou teti launches his own label, tigers on a leash, with the debut >get away< as a certain way to kick things off right. the original is an almost hypnotic electro-builder with an 80s touch, yet with a sound thats still firmly planted in 2011. even though tetis vocals are used more like another instrument than as a center piece, sneaking in and out against the guitars and synths, it s still the kind of memorable vocal line that you will find ringing in your head as you wake up. drop out orchestras club cut is a just that, a cut to get any club moving. in true doo style, they take a great original and create something special, but completely different. jkrivs deep&disco mix takes deep to a new low, with a breakdown thats truly epic. and finally theres mario basanovs remix. a beautiful deep house groover like only mario can supply.
