paul chambers yeah techno! is now available on vinyl, on erol alkans highly collectable phantasy sound label. limited edition of 500 in classic black vinyl !! for two years belgium resident paul chambers has operated as an unsung hero, providing the staple support act on the soulwax travelling circus. now, chambers is set for the limelight proper with this perfectly formed, razor sharp nugget of ruthless techno. this debut sounds as if chambers has been busy sharpening his skills to a knife-edge, unleashing the kind of thrilling kick that vitalic can produce at the top of his game. the sheer blistering energy of yeah techno makes it a dead cert for peak hour dance floor eruptions, hence erol alkan, boys noize and soulwax have been using it as a regular secret weapon since christmas ! the latter have even been seduced by the track enough to spend time on a finely judged soulwax remix, which somehow manages to max out the dials a little further, 12 inch also includes a remix from new duo of the moment beataucue

baby ford and zip continue a fruitful partnership with some uber cool, super deep minimal techno on pal sl records. >clean hands< sees a hushed and soulful vocal wafting over atmospheric synth scratches, ultra low end bass and deft high end clicks and shuffles. >for how long< is even more reduced, letting the space between the sparse sounds say as much as the sounds themselves. truly unique sounds from this talented pair.

levante is the name of a warm wind, blowing between northern africa and spain during the summer months, a warm wind that especially surfers, but also other kinds of deeply relaxed summer people appreciate a lot. as some surfers and other people require some of this feeling already before next summer, schallbox records associated with monoroom has caught some of this wind and transformed it into levante una, which is basses, waves and beats that will blow some tube-heated pre-summer frenzy through the speakers and on the dancefloors. for an even longer surfing experience and a continued boomy feeling in your knackers (hmm sorry ladies?), martin eyerer, mike wall and steve cole have got their speedoes out and dived into 45°(celsius) warm drums and samples, in order to offer to you their personal renderings of levante una. wasn t there a track once, warm surferette??

praise him is a strong gospel styled anthem with even stronger vocals and catchy organ riffs that will lift you up! jovonn on the mix here, taking this gospel shouter off into the deep territory with some hammond style keys and tough brooklyn beats.

aux 88 returns even stronger with pbx-16 >shadow dancing ep< this marks the second phase of the aux 88 presents black tokyo project released exclusively on puzzlebox records. the first song >shadow dancing< is a spiritual floor killer on its way to classic status with additional strings played by estaban adame of los hermanos fame.
>electric underground< highlights newest member of black tokyo ice truck. not only is she beautifull but her vocals take aux 88 to a new level in electro dance music. side b1 lone track >winter in japan< moves aux 88 black tokyo project in a more techno driven soundtrack of a snow covered winter in japan. black tokyos second 12 inch is a classic that must be collected.

earwax is very proud to present this huge 12 inch from >purple trinity< producer gemmy, guaranteed to cause serious sonic pressure on a dancefloor near you! >maroon chant< is possibly one of gemmys biggest tunes yet, a carefully crafted dancefloor monster brim with catchy purple melodic synths and heavy weight bass. the intro leads in with a looped tribal chant as the pattern is sucked into rolling snapping percussion before the squelching, ever-evolving bassline drops. the track build and flows effortlessly maintaining high energy levels throughout. big tune. flip then for >last 3 digits< ? the title being a reference to pirate radio shows where the host refers to callers by the last 3 digits of their phone number. >let me have 1 caller for the rewind<. heavy hitting rave stabs punch out the catchy melody here before the track switches up into a grimey beat and even grimier bassline. quality rave music.

ron deacon aus leipzig mit seiner ersten ep für ingo sängers label farside. der minimal-dubbige remix kommt von lowtec. deacon ist teil der crew um das label workshop (lowtec, even-tuell, benjamin brunn etc.), wo der mann mit workshop 10 gerade einen volltreffer gelandet hat. die secret garden ep bewegt sich nun zwischen seiner soul-affinität und musik zwischen minimal, techno und deep house.

big with mihalis safras, piemont, afrilounge, phonique, someone else, anthony collins, stephan bodzin!! slim, sporty and very casual- thats the way in which current number 18 on acker records sneaks into listeners ears and hereby wonderfully illustrates the much longed for beginning of the open air season in europe. other than the name justin side implies, its even two dudes from denmark who conjure up this unusual voodoo. bedded on a gently shaking groove and larded with tropical warm percussion and lots of vocals, the magic takes effect immediately but still unobtrusively. beside the original mix, the groove of the a-side includes a minimal club mix by mister mollono.bass that creates rather nightly associations in its straightforward manner. on the flipside he pulls out some other stops of his sound repertoire and calls the sunbathed result very appropriately his summer mix. last but not least the unmistakable, humorous organ sounds of rundfunk3000 represent the unique, local mecklenburg version of a mighty voodoo magic.

coming from the heart of bosnia, solomun is a passionate dj who certainly knows how to please a crowd and keep the energy on the floor. equally as talented and creative in the studio, he has many releases to his name on his own label diynamic, as well as other imprints such as four:twenty, liebe*detail and dessous recordings. made for the dancefloor, his productions always have an element of funk or surprise, reminding people of the fun thats there to be had with music. as a label with many close ties to mobilee records, diynamic will be co-hosting a party at mobilees sonar 2010 celebrations, which makes it even more fitting that this release brings the two forces more closely together. solomuns next big bang, being brought to you via leena music, is a sure extension of his impeccable production skills and style, and is also one of the most unique releases you will here on the label so far. a-side >sisi< opens with a head-spinning explosion of notes and chords, being fired out like sparks in a continual loop. then half way through the record, they dramatically stop, only to soon build up again and set the roller coaster off once more. b-side >talk to the hand< is a bass-heavy and punchy track, that surprises you with euphoric piano chords in the second half, whilst b2 >curesto< brings all of the elements together with piano chords, build-ups and some drama. enjoy!

south london boy jitterbug drops his 2nd ep on uzuri after his well received debut >raw winter< early 2009. he pretty much continues where he left off. raw, deep cuts, strictly for the heads with even more attention to the detail. taking in disco, via chicago, detroit and london! a self assured 2nd ep and strictly unmissable!

marius mevold aka mindflow is 25 and hails from trondheim in norway. his nsd debut was picked up early by 1xtras mistajam and when you hear it you?ll soon see why. mindflow has created an absolute monster of a dubstep track thats so catchy even your mum will be dancing her socks off to it: fact. switched has all the elements of a festival anthem, lush old-skool piano chords, soaring diva vocal cuts and huge sub bass wobbles that will shake any summer sound system. just when you think it cant get any better, the half time dubstep beat switches into rolling uk funky vibes. really and truly, this tune is a beast and has already had huge club and radio support from mistajam (6 weeks running on his 1xtra show!) as well as annie mac, kissy sell out, scratch perverts, oneman and caspa. of course a never say die release wouldnt be complete without killer remixes and this one is no exception. d&b men of the moment and remixers extraordinaire, dc breaks, have taken switched to new lofty heights with their super production skills. in line with the old skool vibe of the original, the crisp beats and breaks underpin an awesome sub driven roller that is sure to be on heavy rotation for the summer. dj support: anne savage, cut la roc, excision, far too loud, flux pavilion, freq nasty, futurebound, general midi, high rankin, jaguar skills, kid kenobi, pendulum, reset!, rico tubbs, riskotheque, starkey and more

sabb has definately become an important player on the electronic music scene over the last couple of years and his talent has now shown he will be around for many years to come.
on this fine piece of music he hooked up with good friend dark beat to create a beautyful piece of music with a quite melancholic undertone to it. this track has dc10 ibiza moments written all over it and will without a doubt get many plays this summer.
mendo delivers yet another high quality mix with his unique sound and clever remix skills. on >ballkanika< he took us by surprise by making a quite uplifting hook from the dark clarinet instrument. once again he showcases his talent for hearing what others dont and making this track an even more summer-ish tune with a hands in the air feel to it.

side a: temper d >level checking< - this tune does some stuff, then it changes, and does some other stuff. its wicked.
side b: temper d - >gangbanger< this track has an intro, then it drops. after a while it finishes. its even better than the other side.
>loving the vibes on this< ? shy fx
>temper d has definitely stepped up his game with this one< ? raiden
>yes yes yesssssssssss. been playing temper d tunes< ? laurent garnier

with ‚into the great wide yonder trentemøller is not only exploring new moody and atmospheric universes, but combines his sense for glorious soundscapes with a firm melodic and tonal touch. the original chord progressions and feel for melodies is fundamental to him, and thats also the reason why most of the instruments are played by trentemøller himself on this album. >i like the possibility to be surprised that chords and melodies change into something new. the music that i like most lets the themes and sounds come back in different disguises<. the danish multi instrumentalist and producer shows an unexpected talent for finding vocalists that fit the mood of his songs. the first single of the album, the beautifully tender >sycamore feeling<, featuring marie fisker, is a typical highlight

nice price deal !!! this is dasein, the opening potion of milyoos (aka tommy wilson) debut ep and the second release on subeenas new opit records. dasein attempts to grapple with existence, temporality and substance and what could be a more perfect description of these warped sonics- perpetual motion purely of the moment. multitude makes you feel like a tourist at an off-world bazaar, a strange landscape with a slug-bass bubble undercarriage and inquisitive wide-eyed synths. fayoh leads in with in a harold budd doing house piano before being pounced on by clipped vocal tics and odd blocks of cubist sound all underpinned by a funky beat and quite frankly its gorgeous. if there is a strand of coherence across the ep then its an almost exotic one- these are curiosities, virtual ships in bottles, they are not narrative pieces even if they are in constant motion. only two releases in and opit records is clearly going to avoid easy categorisation- milyoos debut is something to get mighty excited about and i await further transmissions with baited breath...

absolutely massive 12 inch! the >dreaming< remix by sensai has been driving people mental for weeks. three rewinds on three consecutive weeks on grooveriders & fabios show as well play by hue stevens and even ferne cotton! on the flip the much sought after remix work from utah jazz, as annie mac states, >gorgeous<!

this release truly is a thunderstorm and a milestone on the turntable. and even the last couch potato in the universe will finally understand why duoteque have become famous: because of the sweat dripping from the ceiling.

argentinian talent santos resiak has already created a valued position amongst a fresh wave of house producers. after his debut for glueckskind schallplatten, and the highly prized >even better< ep on immigrant records, resiak allows us access to 3 fresh cuts ready for the summer…

trinity all-stars, aka hipp-e and solomonic sound (rob paine & zack eberz) with this cracking newie on worship. as with a bunch of the recent worship releases, >dem a come< is a dubby deep house number, opening with skipping beats and spacey effects before a wicked sub bass comes into play alongside stabbing synths for a sublime basic channel-esque groove. on the flip, the theme continues with >wind up your bass<, again leading in with hi-hats before a ragga rhythm establishes itself, joined swiftly by another superb dubbed out bassline and echoy beats on a track that puts even maurizio to shame! if you like your dubby gear, this release is essential!

>privilege< deals with the fortune of living out a dream in a world that does not grant all people with the same opportunities. over the last year i had the fortune to visit places around the globe in which i felt the obscene wealth of opportunities i have in life. its hard to bear that the majority of humanity will never have the chance to even dream of who and what they could have been. (glitterbug about his new album)

first on decks.de !! t-bet records is glad to introduce the duo mr. bizz, a project with house and dub sonorities. even though its a young project they have already had plenty of releases. among these the track eternity has been used in the compilation ten years cocoon ibiza mixed by dubfire and loco dice. strong irreverent percussions, kinda hypnotic, deep bass lines screwing in your ears, disarming melodic patterns mixed with elated voices all contained in dreamy atmospheres. its easy to be taken away by esta manana and to be enraptured on the rolling wheels of oasi. you know, we have decided to bet on techno and what would be more satisfying than to embody on this ep two great remixes from from andrea ferlin (1/2 of duoteque) and diamond dog (contexterrior)

the skinnerbox disco jazz opus >king of spades and marmalades< (album mmxa0903lp) has not even been digested properly û yet these electronic nerds have hurled into work again. first, an own branded synthesizer for abletons collaboration software max4live was developed, and now a new maxi is ready to be out.

supported by ellen allien, konrad black, kiki, dop, andre galluzzi, dario zenker, dubfire, mikael stavostrand. yeah, finally the highly anticipated pherox ep on stock5 as arrived. everybody that worked on this knows how much hard work was needed to accomplish this epic feat. but what was the hold up? rumour as it that pherox aka tim querengaesser crossed the whole ruhrpottrainforest to find one of the weirdest bendiest organic house grooves that even a harden cadenzian wouldn’t be able to frown at.

with an especially deep, curled funk behind the ears, mk32 directly controls an ocean of harmonic, resonating phenomena. at the controls there is ian simmonds, the sail is raised by the workshop steward even tuell, the free-spirited dave aju (circus company) and the almost-label namensgeber.

huge 4-track ep by stormtrooper, showing the variety of styles he can produce. sweet poisonous lips takes you on a poisonous 10 minute journey through the sounds of industrial hardcore, techno and even electro. the track is definitely nonstandard and will also find its way to the more techno orientated floors. the 2nd track on the a-side tinning starts of a lot harder, but also realigns to the techno floors during the melodic electro break.the highlight on this ep is flight instinct on the b1, a hard, but atmospheric industrial crossover track with hard drum & bass elements. if youre into tracks like hells basement from outside agency, then this should be your choice.the b2 extreme body reactions is definitely the most freaky track of this ep with very cool and evil sounds.another must have for all the industrial heads out there!!

that juan maclean is just a bundle of contradictions. here he has created one of the years best mix cds — and not just a proper party mix, which it certainly is, but even what you might call an important mix, a timely lesson in the enduring spirit of house music — and how does he choose to describe the process of putting it together? as an >existential tailspin<.

features a wide variety of sounds and international talent from san francisco to canada to germany to brasil. but even though it showcases a very international roster, each track has that special freaky spark that makes it work on dirtybird.

fat! records are back! this, my friends, is jolly spiffing news – especially when they return with something as resoundingly large and summer-specific as this uk funky-tinged number from foamo. carnivalesque mischief abounds as horns and infectious afrobeats weasel their way through the mix of whistles and bass on >centavo< while >jookie< takes things even further south of soa paulo with an epic horn fest doest dissimlar to unitedeyess >sambana< if you can remember that far back. to say welcome back would be an understatement. idj mag review 10/10 and top tune feature! rob da bank played foamo >jookie< saturday on radio 1. mistajam drops “centavo” on bbc 1xtra 17.03.10

italys marco donnarumma indicated some of the potential of his kuoyah project with last aprils digital release for frijsfo, earning enthusiastic tips from the likes of boomkat. nonetheless, theres no doubt that his debut on wax ups the game ? even in the face of a mix from sully ? by applying a focus capable of working magic in 2010s open-ended dubstep dance. its an overused comparison that probably deserves to be buried, but angel dub does reek of horsepower productions, or more precisely the ducking 2-step and basic channel steals of benny ills classic tempa ep with hatcha.

supported by: nick curly, anja schneider, samuel l session, steve bug, will saul, milton jackson.. after releases from drei farben house and paulo olarte, polytone is joined by matthias vogt. being a member of motorcitysoul (together with frankfurts house legend crock), matthias vogt has been teaching lessons in deepness for years now. in his solo works vogts profound education as a jazz musician is just as present. thus, >together as one< is carried by wonderfully deep chords, which are accentuated by a contrapuntal bassline. a classic male vocal highlights the soulfulness even more and turns this track into a marvellous deephouse affair.

odaka (also known as rawakari) delivers some nice abstract techno in the best idm tradition. he dabbles here with a flurry of machines, to obtain that distinctive analogue sound to go back to the basics. even the graphic design is the result of a more back to basics technique, without the assistance of a computer once again, but rather via sketching and plain and simple drawing. a very sincere and sympathetic release on this belgium label (brussels to be precise, wallonia, roughly same areas as confined). record is mastered by pascal demez (herrmutt lobby, kadah/vresky) check!

wonderful release by kyle hall on his new detroit based label wild oats. masterpiece 4 track ep, each track divine and unique in its own way. hot jazzy kyle hall fashioned deephouse that can serve a lounge and at the same time bang even harder on a dancefloor. kyle halls experimentalist off beat antics meets smooth jazz would be a way to describe the sound. poly rhythms everywhere but at the same time a cohesive groovy soulful feel. overall this ep is a must buy for anyone who is for the future of the electronic music genre and enjoys quality.

awesoeme dub music with great remixes by even tuell, sistema & deeps edayar.

second gimme! gimme! release featuring >the spirit the power< and >family<. >the spirit the power< is a remix by mark kamins - an official member of the disco dj hall of fame - and chris rhythm. superb disco house and smokin beat! >family< is an edit by chris rhythm. this disco classic will let the sun shine even at midnight. good mood guarantee included.

matt flores recent/upcoming releases on labels like compost black, combination, third ear and of course farside put him in the focus of the worldwide house circle. actually >tempted< was produced by matt with the concept of an album in mind. even more glad that he has been assured by the idea that the track has to be out on 12inch vinyl. heartfelt, kickin and deep, >tempted< might be one of the greatest tunes that ever saw the light out of matt flores metaworld universe. get caught by the beautiful harmonies and the demanding groove

played by marcel dettmann!!! killer first release on skudge. fusing up some tasty dub styles with disco and techno elements.... big record - even bigger tip! // limited brown coloured vinyl

slamming floor remixes, gui boratto turns sycamore feeling into a convincing club-track, with lighter colours and a straight four to the floor drive. using cut-ups and snippets of fiskers vocal, he transforms the mood of the original without losing its great melodic feel. thomas schumacher takes the track even further and comes up with a driving minimal techno workout, stripping away many of the original layers, yet using the vocal to great effect.

lunar disko records presents a stunning debut ep by texas producer, submersible machines. five beautifully crafted electro-techno tracks for lovers of the deep... the tranquil >upwelling< introduces the ep, deep pads, warm melodies, and supreme 808 programming prevail this outstanding opening track. >when whales fall< submerges you into even more mysterious melodies and curious sounds from the deep. the aquatic >blue hole< concludes the a-side, delicate twinkling melodies, precise 808 beats, and an analog acid bassline which will have you lost on a journey into the depths of the oceanic abyss. the flipside offers two more cuts of equal quality from this new talent from the third coast... >braving the benthic< opens the b-side with its bubbly and pulsating bassline, while expertly blending more intricate analog sounds to create another timeless track. finishing the ep is >cold seep<, combining both the 707 & 808 to brilliant effect alongside an inducing chi-town bassline, and a deep mysterious string which sweeps over the track perfectly...

the next great release on herzblut comes again from nicolas masseyeff. this time he teams up with jr c, who delivers dark vocals to this tech-house journey. and the package gets even better. the a-side is reserved for the original version of the dance floor treasure, while on the flip side, you can find oxias housy interpretation of the track and anandas groovy touch.stephan bodzin, oxia, gabriel ananda, karotte, darko esser and many more.

the return of putsch 79! after their big momentum a couple of years ago the guys have been busy remixing and producing others. after been out of the music scene for some months doing some fishing and catching butterflies in the northern parts of finland they are back with a big bad disco monster! comes with a possibly even a bigger alden tyrell disco monster remix as we haven t heard from him in a while! peak time material!

sweatshops third release rolls on in with two hot, old-school-vibed productions from joel alter! swedish-berliner alter turns in two fresh, yet raw, cuts that are perfect for the winter club season, and a special edit from label boss savas pascalidis also features. lead cut soul clap is a heavy metal bass weapon for the house or techno floors. pure adrenal action is on hand from the outset, where joels sub-assured kick and ravey, filthy organ riff works the groove. direct and straight to the point, its a strong, forward leaning tool that is sure to get the fires burning in early 2010. savas pascalidis also re-works soul clap with his own edited version, working the 909 into overtime and turning up the intensity even higher! classic and tough chicago vibes all the way!

new imprint from the ashes of hidden history has born please welcome to gentleman recordings. mr riccio rocks the first ep. a1) bags of groove and funky glitters are in this irresistible dance tune. a2) the boogie gets deeper, the loops are even more rhythmic then the chorus enters adding powerful disco diva-style. b1) dont stop to dance till you hear this! now the club is in full disco swing, here comes the hottest track.

yes, its them: federleicht. no better way to start a label: the newcomers of the year have created here a playful and danceable track at the same piece: >rosa lee<. florian schirmacher and marc bammann made an apt remark in naming the ep >modern dada< to point out their ability to make a tribute to the free form. music with german lyrics for the dance floor, combining fragments, while this masterly sense of easiness, for which even the >supergooses< ep was rewarded as a masterpiece in the de:bug. formresonance devides their releases in solid, fluid and aeroform to restrain the musical spectrum which is indeed to be at the ready. solid in any case with both feet down-to-club. how nice … there should be the klub edit of rosa lee as well. in >lilly & douai (fluid)<, the duo spans such an emotional tension by overlaying approximately 80 radio tracks on which federleicht travels the two french industrial cities lille and douai, with the idea that these cities are nature reserves. such sensitive places they are…

almost one year after the first release derive schallplatten releases the second record. thats quite a long time. but however, haste makes waste and even more when its about some passionate drifters!

we are happy to present our first japanese artist on quintessentials, ryo murakami. ryo is no stranger to the scene, as he already released a bunch of records on respected labels like dessous, pokerflat or soon on mule musique. the main track >lunch of god< is a deep, raw and reduced house track with a strong us flavour and was already featured in jus eds underground quality radio show. ryo takes it even further with reducing - the result is >depths, a basic kickin techno track. the flipside offers the more than 11 minutes long >lunch of god< remix by house master scott ferguson. the ferris park maestro keeps things close to the original but adds more club feel plus a superb lil bonus track of his own. check it out!

dani casarano and felipe valenzuela have been on a serious hot streak for the past couple of years since each began releasing music, and together, they re doing even more damage...

this is the 11th release from sui generiz (division of absolut freak records), a special one marking a new phase of the portuguese label. andy book comes with a very deep track with beautiful chords, vocal works and melodic sounds, which give a nice and smooth trip called >if you tried<. the outstanding and famous french producer alexkid - already signed on the best labels such as f communications, rekids or cadenza - offers a super interesting and cleverly made remix. brilliant minimalist work pushing the limits of the original mix even further. then, the finnish producer zentex, well-known for his works on traum, kickboxer or resopal, is back on sui generiz (after having signed the first reference called >blue<) with a stunning version. deep, solid and driving remix. just listen! last but not least, johnwaynes - the exciting duo coming from the same land as the label - brings some organic beats and a bright piano for a beautiful remix, not less sui generis work than they use to do. their very unique sound, already heard on compost, brique rouge or bloop, will make you dance all long.
