as headman gears up to release his sixth album it appears he is having something of an identity crisis... is he headman? or is he, as his mother named him, robi insinna? either way, he is one of disco s most daring of producers and, monikers aside, anything he releases is well worth your attention. especially this first sampler from the album 6. a collaborative affair, each track sees him teaming up with kindred spirits and friends to forge new groove paths and re-position old references. -work- takes a kraftwerkian recipe and stretches it like a well made pizza dough, -barbarism- dusts off the cosmic guitars for an enlightened star-gazing session, -der- sits happily between black strobe and jeff wayne while -sleep red- cruises towards dfa city limits in a cowbell escalade. each one of them will have you hankering for the album. guaranteed.

andy meecham is a man of many musical incarnations and has been since the early 90s. following on from projects like the now dormant bizarre inc and revived dub-disco duo chicken lips, it is as the emperor machine that he explores his most experimental sounds. to date there have been three full length albums on dc recordings after the project was initially started with the idea of creating music using just one synth, the roland sh-3a. the results lay out the staffordshire mans love of vintage synthesisers for all to see, and combine tough edged disco beats with more cerebral cosmic melodies into alluring soundscapes that bend your mind and drive your feet. as well as a slew of 12s and lps, the emperor machine has also turned his hand to remixes of giants like moby, daft punk and royksopp, and has previously taken a live and inspiringly psychedelic incarnation of the project to clubs and festivals across the planet.

when walter merziger and arno kammermeier head to the studio to work on new material for their long time project booka shade, the result is a winning combination of underground sensation and club hit, as titles such as mandarine girl and body language have proved to great acclaim. its a balancing act that only the most successful electronic musicians can do so successfully over such a period of time. booka shades new single >love inc< is no exception. presaging the fifth studio album release from these berlin transplants,>love inc< is infused with pure club sound created by merging a refined sense of sonance with solid craftsmanship. the duo pays a contemporary homage to chicagos former king of house, lil louis, whose 1992 hit club lonely serves as the tracks sample

all the way to the sun and back to the dance floor – madrid soul-rockers the right ons get the electroshock treatment from the emperor machine and gomma boss telonius.

he has been called the baron of the beats, a knight of life, the life of the night, or even occasionally plain mike gamwell, to you and i though, he is only knightlife.
he is cutters records secret weapon and he is back with the 3rd tome in his royal club catalogue, serves you right / otherway.
the new 12 inch follows on from knightlife i (2007) and knightlife ii (2009), funnily enough, both promising quests into the future of dance with a healthy respect of the past from the melbourne-based producer. with a string of distinguished remixes in between times, serves you right / otherway again sees gamwell forge onwards and upwards, adding yet more strings to his accomplished bow.

the title track >radio anatomy< is a synth-laden italo monster, serious dance-floor material. detuned pads fizz under an arp and walking bass, caving in to a tear-away synth lead that pumps the tune into overdrive. the groove has a pace to it and sits on top of the beat and all surrounding articulation and effects keep things interesting.
on the flip we have got a serious remix from none other than emperor machine. this guy has been unstoppable in the remix department for some time, and it doesnt look like he will be faltering anytime soon! we are initiated with brioskis fantastic original bass and pad sequence, but in typical e.m. fashion the build up is sustained and full of suspense. haunting vocal chants ensue before the bass drops and the funk kicks in. what a drop! the switches are clever, the instrumentation is solid and the vibe is out of this world. brioski - >radio anatomy is an unforgiving italo dance-floor release, with help from one of nangs finer contributors.

>how deep is your love< is the first single from the raptures forthcoming album in the grace of your love, their first full length release on the dfa label. the record was recorded in brooklyn and paris, france, and produced by phillippe zdar, who has also worked with chromeo, phoenix, air, daft punk and cut copy. zdar is also one half of the duo cassius.

nice price deal !!! lipservice are proud to welcome a new addition to their label roster. out of city are a tuscan based trio and are no strangers to the scene. having already worked with labels like eskimo and dc recordings they make a melting pot of sounds with their fingers and thumbs!

dark and lecherous. on the dancefloor, the musical world of fortuna echoes like these two words : it is scheming, magnetic and hypnotic.

drawing you in with its hypnotic nursery rhyme riffs, breathy samples, crushing bass and huge hyncopated drums which create pay tvs libidinously rare grooves coming on like a 21st century serge gainsbourg with added dancefloor savvy.

listeners who are familiar with the ex-bizarre inc and chicken lips man s previous material will know exactly what to expect from andy meecham s latest record. the staffordshire-based producer wears his penchant for vintage analogue synthesizers firmly on his sleeve, creating a melange of hard-hitting disco beats and throbbing cosmic melodies. entitled space beyond the egg, the album sees meecham exploring a few new territories, with the swinging kananana even featuring a catchy vocal hook, marking it out from his previously instrumental solo material. prepare yourself for plenty of strutting and shuffling percussion as well as mindbending synth workouts that should send you firmly into space when the record drops in june.

title track kananana is a searing pop oddity replete with murmurous vocals and swinging guitar licks. it ebbs bit by bit into the mind of the listener, gradually imbuing a weird sense of vacant bliss alongside a swelling emotional charge - this is a new strain of mutated pop genius!
