ltd upfront promos , boddhi satva and abel tabu have fused their interpretation of african music by returning to their roots, providing us with one of the most interesting projects this year on atal music. they asked the talented congolese guitarist, danny mpiana, to bless their production with a true central african musical feeling ensuring they capture and soothe both heart and soul of dancers and listeners worldwide. the name boddhi satva has become for the most part, synonymous with deep, afro ancestral beats, melodies and rhythms. all these elements and more are present in his past productions, so its only fitting that he capitalize on this trend and join forces with his friend abel tabu to bring forth the best of both musical backgrounds. the end result is moina ya mokili, a formidable collaboration that confirms their true love and passion for deep soulful music. furthermore, this project is endorsed and enriched with support from abicah soul. his remix incorporates scintillating afro latin smooth, yet powerful beats and the signature abicah soul touch of deepness.

this third release is finally lead by its mastermind monsieur claude monnet.the pioneer of ethnic and exotic contaminations creates a sort of bridge between ancestral hypnosis of african tribal movements, haitian voodoo incantation and the third millennium dancefloors. a strong cascade of rhythm modulated by a deep and vibrant drum framing a mysterious dialog between an imaginary witch doctor and a persuasive feminine voice and bringing the listener in a state of trance able to carry body and mind away. monnets lesson sounds highly clear, few elements developed with masterful creativity and an unconventional dealing of music composition make at its best the real essence of house music. firmly balearic approach

dimi angélis & jeroen search. both artists are among the few internationally acclaimed techno artists from the netherlands. their dj activity and production work reaches back into the early nineties. >the new frontier< melds the firmness and determination of old school techno with a contemporary subtlety. it is amazing how few elements jereon search and dimi angélis need to create a dense and compelling athmosphere. >lunar< is the kind of track that slips perfectly in a wide range of club sets. while it offers the dj a vast span of possible connections to other music, its hypnotic melody does not leave your head for hours. >jupiter< is bolder, it is centered around a demanding groove. while the melodies operate in the background of the track, the complex net of rhythmic patterns shifts indistinguishably. it is the type of music which holds you in a tight grip - and you are not even able to tell what exactly is so striking about it. its implicitness makes >the new frontier< such a special record. it belongs to the rare breed of music which does not demand to go into your box - and this is exactly why it is made to stay there for quite some time

step forward dubfire (aka ali shirazinia from grammy winning dj and production duo deep dish) whos already hit top form this summer with some tasty releases on desolat, funkwelle.net and whose thumping >emissions< features on the minus compilation >expansion contraction<. the beauty of this rework is that it doesnt stray far from the original vibe. dubfire pays the track the full respect it deserves, adding contemporary beats, bass and hat patterns, subliminal efx and tweaks that perfectly compliment the eq sweeps and machine gun snare rolls of the original. panikattack (originally released on plus 8 in 1996 as the b side to sickness) gets a more radical overhaul with guido schneider turning in a typically pragmatic version. by excavating and enhancing the gritty funk that lies buried under the feverish textures of the original, he discovers a totally new dimension. combining the plastik elements with his own trademark swing and razor sharp percussion programming, schneider coaxes the track out of the shadows for some serious peak time action as the bassline bounds forward relentlessly occasionally enveloped by stuttering delays, to negotiate its way through the dubbed out breakdown and on to the end

with tuomas salmela aka phonogenic, we welcome one of the most established finnish techno and house producers, with releases on 2020 vision, poker flat, moodmusic or f-com-munications. salmelas sound has something dark, reminding of the long finnish winters and cold nights. he does not feast in old times or posts the question of oldskool or newskool, but simply has produced something really new, without getting lost in clicks n cuts or doing too much sound research. phonogenic uses sentimental harmonies and stringent direct beats, that dont need complex building arrangements, but come to the point rather quickly and make clear where the journey will take us. similarly to guy gerber, phonogenics productions also are somewhere in between techno and houseand even use elements of trance. however, salmelas productions always make the impression of being well planned and moody
