just a few minutes till impact. final approach, three, two, one… stephan bodzin and marc romboy aint no astronauts. they are first and foremost musicians, producers and long time friends. both would admit that arguing and talking music is as important as making it. together with their own long running imprints, systematic recordings and herzblut recordings, they have proven how to build up a distinct label sound. however, similar to some well-known astronauts, the word >luna< has a very special meaning to the musicians because its the name of marcs daughter and coincedently that of stephans wife as well. therefore it had been the obvious choice when they were looking for a fitting title name back in 2005. six years on, and the project nears its final touchdown and is honored with a an outstanding vinyl-set of six records!!! 16 different producers from all over the world take you to a musical orbit, starting in germany with moritz von oswald (basic channel, rhythm & sound), dominik eulberg, chris liebing, oliver huntemann, martin buttrich (desolat), roman flügel (dial) und robag wruhme (pampa records), continuing with speedy j (plus 8) from the netherlands, minilogue from sweden and even abe duque and brendon moeller from new york from the u.s.a.. an electronic transmission from the moon to the earth takes a little more than one second to cover the distance. but when listening to >luna<, you wont dare to think in minutes or seconds ignition sequence start, trois, deux, unité!

oslo says hello to 2011 with a great ep again from one of the best electronic producers at the moment, guillaume & the coutu dumonts. we all know his eps on oslo, so we can be sure that he will not dissapoint. on the a side we find >praise to the beat maker< an amazing track with lyrics by dave aju, you will never take this track out of your mind. the rhythm is 100% guillaume. the second track of the ep >promess-lovin< gives the main melody to the release, and with some female vocals remains us one of the best old school house periods. the last track >all you have to do< is a very slow and musical track, wich keeps the line of the ep and at the same time add something different.

head-turning singles >tuff enough< and >take em up< from marcus >shit robot< lambkins fantastic debut, from the cradle to the rave, get reinvented by two of the most talented dj/producers working in electronic music. on the a-side is germanys michael mayers epically inventive take on >tuff enuff<. less muscular than lambkins original, the remix softens things up by placing supple keys under the hardened exterior. the climax is an otherworldly listening experience that literally builds to take off. on the flip, john talabots remix of >take em up< starts like a laidback house party that builds just enough energy when its relocated under disco lights. the haunting opening — a swirling, ghostly blend of elliptical vocals and handclaps — leads to a sonic journey that is as smooth as it is wholly entrancing. this fantastic coupling of tracks is being produced in very short supply, so snap them up quickly!

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

natura viva limited 001: vinyl will never die! relejate is a must have for djs, cause with this ep, you dont have just 3 tracks, you have in your hands one electronic orchestra! on the side a you can find the first remix from aka aka with mr. thalstroem (trumpeter), this track is fantastic and we are sure that youre gonna love it! the german duo is totally insane! the second remix on the side a is from sebbo & agent! with another nice re-interpretation. the original mix by milkwish is on the side b

dokument .01 features two tracks of beatless inner city industrial ambient. >strung valve checkout< is a gorgeous 11 minute sequence of piano-fuelled drones. >dada fish sticks< is equally affecting, a lulling industrial classical mesh of sound with hints of melody. what makes this release particularly special is the combination of talents behind the music. dadavistic orchestra is a collaboration between the black dog and 3 former members of the psychick warriors of gaia. both are recognised innovators in electronic music who have been hugely influential and popular throughout their careers. the two groups have been close for many years, and their musical collaboration has evolved over the last year, with dokument 1 being just the first work to be released.

together with matthias tanzmann and the >freude am tanzen< crew, daniel stefanik belongs to the most reliable initiators of electronic dance music in east germany. the fact that the readers of groove magazine have voted daniel one of the best newcomers in 2010 n&#771,,,,,, despite his more than 75 releases on mobile&#768,,,,,,e, statik entertainment, moon harbour or dessous n&#771,,,,,, may be due to his fantastic remix of the ubertrack >no worries<, that has been played, together with butch s original version, on literally every deck between ibiza, frankfurt and london in the past months.

so what is the sound of progressive disco? well it captures the insane rhythm and the unforgiving driving beat that is instantly found in the funk of the early seventies but real disco music also had a formula that would guarantee the hottest djs success if played at the right time. that formula was a blend of up-tempo rhythm sections laden with south american percussion mixed with soulful vocals and orchestral strings - a symphony of sex, lust and love. we change the formula and focus on the rock, electronic and dub elements - slower, sleazy and fun.

long awaited album !! amazing double lp with a unique mixture from electronic and dubstep... well done

repress !! blackest ever black is a new london-based label that seeks to re-establish electronic music as a poetic, provocative and emotionally inquisitive force. music by artists, not engineers. its first release is a self-titled ep by raime, a british duo who draw explicit inspiration from the marginal mavericks of early european goth, industrial and synth wave - artists largely omitted from the current master narrative of post-punk history, and who strove to make music at once cerebral and visceral, futuristic and atavistic. well-versed in the language of club music, but rejecting its typically rigid sequencing and arrangements, raime use technology pensively - to convey a sense of crisis, collapse and longing. transporting and disorienting though their work might be, its narratively taut and has no truck whatsoever with the cosmic, its too aggressive and engaged to be called psychedelic.

pale sketcher (aka justin broadrick of jesu/godflesh fame) follows up his ghostly debut >jesu: pale sketches demixed< release with the ep, >seventh heaven<. broadrick covers a large palette of styles, discovering moods and rhythms that further expand the pale sketcher sound. it further solidifies his taste for electronic material that bled into his jesu project and solidifying pale sketcher as yet another legitimate project for this prolific artist. >seventh heaven< includes 4 brand new tracks that highlights a variety of influences from drum n bass and shoegaze to trip hop and dub. the lone remix is a dub meets trip hop sound reminiscent of trickys >maxinquaye< period from the legendary king midas sound. pale sketcher is clearly figuring out his next big step with the >seventh heaven< ep.

ulysses dj career began in 1991, when he started his universitys first techno radio show. shortly after graduating he returned to his hometown and became a player in the late-90s electro scene in new york, running some of the earliest large-scale electro parties in new york. guests included legends such as alexander robotnick and arthur baker, as well as recent stars like i.f., miss kitten and the hacker and adult. ulysses is not only about party promotion, however, and a close look at his diverse musical career will quickly shatter this misconception. although a long-time advocate of obscure disco and classic techno, ulysses is currently best known for the piano house anthem robotic hypnotic adventure from his neurotic drum band collaboration with john selway. in addition to the ndb ulysses collaborates with thugfuckers holmar filipsson as filipsson & ulysses, who are releasing soon-to-be classic eps of emotive electronic disco on internasjonal and bearfunk records. ulysses still continues to chart his own musical path with an incredible ep of dark pop for internasjonal spesial in the works, as well as some new club-friendly dance tracks on wurst and his solo debut for throne of blood. the acid reflux ep represents the diversity of ulyssess talent, from banging acid tracks to moody downtempo and grooving electronic house. to round things out ulysses recruited prins thomas to deliver an unprecedented nine-minute rerub of >acid reflux< that preserves the originals 303 groove but injects a heaping dose of cosmic atmosphere and live instrumentation into the mix. essential

gb returns with >the xpander ep< fresh from his recently released >interprets…< project. here he flips styles & produces in the realm of electronic dance & ministers the marriage between analog synthesis & prayer ->the xpander< & >the dreamer<. hot!

this is the third single taken from boohgaloo zoos devastatingly good self-titled debut album. >i got< is a relentless disco groover while >come to this< is a slow-mo exotica house bomb (whatever that may mean) with some hints of exotica. two fat and funky joints. this time, the remixes are courtesy of mugwump and aardvark. mugwump takes the original and turns it into an electrifying discoid tour de force. aardvark does his thing, which lately means taking a song, and giving it an electronic shock treatment. those who like forward thinking electronic music will go bananas for this one. post >nameyourfavourite<?

killekill002 comes from alex cortex solo. the a side track >tackle” is an old school minimalistic loop techno track with a weird bleepy melody inside. made for the late hours on big pas. b1 track >beach bass< is the hit of this record: a deep house number with a bassline that hits your heart immediately and makes you smile and want to dance. a house hit as it should be! b2 >boing boing< is an uncommon, strange electro track that rounds up this ep and shows the wide range of styles that can be expected from this label. alex cortex has been releasing electronic music of all kinds since 1996 on labels like source records, kanzleramt, klang elektronik, pomelo, platzhirsch and many more.

future disco releases the fourth edition of the sort after series and to coincide with the full album release is this limited four track vinyl sampler featuring some of the highlights from the collection >neon nights<. first up is an exclusive track from the revenge. originally created a dj tool for graeme clark aka the revenges dj sets >just be good to mario< is a cleverly produced mash up of the revenges own >just be good to me< featuring the vocals of crazy ps danielle moore, and mario basanovs track >do you remember<. the result is a slow grooving dance floor jam that takes the best bits from two producers at the top of their game. also on the a side, the c90s –shine a light is given the remix treatment by australia outfit flight facilities. the result is a slow tempo song, perfect to start or end the night. on the b side, hannulerauris instrumental >zombie tropicana< gives a firm nod to the 80s with a slow stomping electronic disco work out. finally london duo, tape to tapes >pure & easy< completes the pack. a hand raising house track with soaring breakdown, which demonstrate the breath of the sounds on a future disco collection. all tracks have never appeared on vinyl before and are exclusive to this sampler

after an incredible whirlwind of a year lee foss returns to the culprit fore with >your turn girl<. foss is the labels most consistent and prolific artist with this ep being his fourth release, solo or as part of hot natured. it is safe to say, lee has become one of the pillars around which culprit is being built. the >your turn girl ep< carries foss signature hallmarks: melodic funk-infused basslines, vocal hooks that grab you from the off and a smooth electronic edge. lees incredibly emotive sound makes him stand out even in the current glut of soulful dance music washing over the global scene. your turn girl – the title track is an epitome of foss >ominous funk< style, playful yet with a distinctly sultry edge. yet another memorable r n b female vocal bit sits on top of some of lees own best synth work. and driven by a killer analogue bassline. >pyramid scheme< –bristles with the disco-inspired propulsive energy. an acid-flecked low end, that comes to the fore mid-way through, a swirling guitar sample, the crisply sharp drums add up to the releases, perhaps, most hands-in-the air moment. >cabin party< continues the themes lee explored with his mega successful hot creations ep. foss eschews the standard house beat yet again, opting for his most organic drums yet, stunningly conceived textures and melodies, with another pair of vocal hooks to die for. finally >warriors< has been a staple of many a culprit dj set for the best part of 2010. lees trademark combination of a terrific electronic bassline, and an unabashedly emotional sample work make for a deep house stand-out tinged with a sense of nostalgia.
