mbali remixes: jerome sydenham starts off the year with a fabulous remix of the underground classic >mbali< by motorcitysoul. sydenham makes an ambitious attempt to redefine the phrase >happy and uplifting house<. this, however, is not a gospel track. but instead is filled with lush cords and steady grooves. this is the kind of tune that really gets the party started. jero extended versions: the monster duo of dennis ferrer and jerome sydenham strike again at the core of house music. in this adrenaline fuel house epic you have sydenham on the beats and ferrer on the vocal chants. this one will be hard to resist even for techno heads.

this man cant currently be stopped. following his releases through the 2nd season 2009 (>marvin” on compost, >smaul 06< & >smaul 07<) in january 2010 acid paulis >riverboat tour< came out. now, it seems he opens this years summer season with these two psychedelic thrilling tracks. even though he had been touring a lot with the notwist last year, acid pauli was pretty often an invited, musically refreshing guest in berlins minimal techno (what ever) scene. den mahlstrom rauf leaves no doubts about. great build up he does by keeping tension over five minutes to unlash finally the madness charge with a levitating reverse-ducking-compressed melody. den mahlstrom runter (a play on words of travelling on a boat and getting milled…) seems to be the return from the trip he gives on side a. it is the same track reworked. his musical drama goes faster but deeper under the cortex – but >how lucky a fate< deliverance comes at right time taking the track over to a known housy and deep realm.

inspired by the riz ortolani soundtrack for the girl in the yellow pyjamas hot ring bounces around like pamela andersons front end whilst running up and down malibu beach. sharp stabs and spooky synths lines put this straight in modern electronic disco box. things go even dirtier and deeper with bottins stripped down espresso dub version which feels precisely like a double caffeine punch that will kickstart any stagnating dancefloor. 2020 soundsystem and redux main man fernando then comes up with lovely remix where he adds his signature dubbed out punky sound to the ep.

creative energy of berlin, the duo defines its music as future retro avantgarde electroacoutic funky melancholic harmonical pop but for their first proper vinyl release as a duo, souvenir is giving you even more...

its still like that: even though digital is everywhere there is still something very special about having your own tracks on a vinyl release. so this is it again: the very best of the last releases on koletzki_s sublabel stil vor talent digital on a double-sided vinyl edition. starting off with two tracks by bruch & junior that couldnt be more different: while >fiesta de la residencia< sounds like somebody threw some spanish vocals and trumpets into a pool of tech-house beats and basslines at a maniac afterhour on the white island (ergo: great),>sunset< is the deeply euphoric sound for the morning after. the synthesizers so crisp and all around you, the beat and bassline so warm and seductive: this is purely magical music that will make you forget when the sun went down or up the last time while still making you want to shake your legs to the strong bassline and chunky loop. hit! on the flip then comes a re-work of a massive hit on stil vor talent: a 2010 version of nicones >una rosa< complete with the original spanish vocals, but a much more grooving loop that turns into an absolute percussion fest. claps turn into effects and we all raise our hands to those reverbed original vocals. last up australian murat kilic with the wonderfully oldskool house anthem >summer traffic<: great melodic pads, a superbly harmonic bassline and when the breakdown kicks in, an ever-indulging xylophon melody. this whole record has got summer written all over it and helps us all get through this icy winter.

when casting a weary eye towards the impending chill of winter, its important to remember that the choice of company kept can greatly affect the way in which one wiles away the long gray hours. in this case, we didnt even need to look further than our own backyard. enter deep techno masons, donor/truss. made up of greg schappert of brooklyn and tom russell of wales, their collective efforts have seeped into the consciousness of world class djs, producers and fans of uncompromising techno music through releases on synewave, miniscule, dilek, and dumb unit. with this, their first ep on thema, they have begun expanding their signature sound. the heady claustrophobia we’ve come to know and love has opened up just enough, spurring a graceful and startling evolution. we also would like to say that we re very happy that themas first release for the year 2010 is, in part, from local nyc based talent. mr schappert has been a big supporter of this label for quite sometime and to have him and tom step onboard is just about the best way we can think of to start the new year. the future is here, welcome 2010!

whenever you think crazyness has reached the roof there is always a new howard & stereo around the corner to raise the madness level even higher. roland kaiser anyone?

vizual - the brain and soul child of joshua iz - its even part of the name. after working with many of the most respected labels in underground dance music, including prescription, classic, om, guidance, diy, joshua &#64257,,nally felt it time to create his own imprint, hence vizual. drawing from a myriad of in&#64258,,uences, from heavy jamaican dub to bleepy detroit techno, vizual seeks to develop new musical forms that bridge the gap between pure organic music and abstract electronic sound paintings, yet creating something danceable in the process.

a slammin release from style of eye with remixes by hipp e & troydon. the original is a bass heavy electro groove with tweaked out synths and a male reggae vocal. troydon trips things out even more on his mix, shuffling beats with his new minimal sound, along the lines of his phono shuffle release. hipp e is on fire again! a deep chugger with a big vocal breakdown.

brut! records baby sister label, pop!, sees its second release with popnonames spaces. an eclectic line-up, including joerg burger, freund der familie and paid for fame, remix the original three times over to offer a varied perspective of the same brave track. revving its engine, spaces drives you to experience things. it invites you to crack yourself open so that through that voluntary rift some new future might pour. bold, beautiful and formless it emerges, washed in a golden light. a baby nebula, perhaps if you are lucky, cradled in the spiral arms of a distant galaxy patiently building mass as it clumps gas and dust together. the important things often creep up silently…recognized only once they are there, even though you had given them no shape in your mind prior to their arrival. space gives possibility to what these forms might be, boundless in four-dimensions. its that expanding medium that allows imagination to roam without end…where the need to distinguish between what you know and invented evaporates and flows pure and clear as an ice cold stream.

big with: loco dice, seth troxler, ryan crosson, guy gerber, shaun reeves, robert babicz, tom pooks ...
ok now. we got our new storming release on highway ready to rock! body-movin, heavily dub influenced and indemand ep by wols (a new dubby astrobard-hop project by krasnodar based modul guys well known for their level, harthouse, pro-tez and ostwind appearances and distinctive deep electronica sound). this hot piece of wax will surely take you on a fully energized trip. original >bushmans oversized vibe< is a heavy ethnic floor stomper - broken, flowing and absolutely magnetic. filled with headbanging twisted vocal cuts and ancient mojo rhythms it will launch your spirit far beyond the neighbourhood. this is a definetely high quality explosive vibe tribe dub-unit! but even dont try to stop here - continue the ride with great remixes by guti (from desolat stables run by loco dice) and greg parker ...

big with: mandy, pete tong, thomas schumacher, anthony collins...
even well after its may release, damian lazaruss superb debut album, >smoke the monster out<, is still ringing in the ears of those who anticipated one of dance musics most colorful personalities debut album. his third single features two mixes of one of the albums most infamous tracks, >diamond in the dark<. these two mixes - by mr. lazarus himself and dop - keep the diamond out all night, way past its bedtime, and carousing on until the morning light.

after its first release rework closer moved bass cadets and techno heads alike, the label returns with some fearless offbeat pressure in round two. a side sun touch aint about cherishing the first sunshine in springtime – rather like a fierce ray of light hitting you right in the eye, darkening everything for a moment. killer broken beats, rumbling subs and a gloomy atmosphere run the program until a nasty acid line takes over and funks things up even further. drain on the flip continues where closer (ams01) left off, the warm synth blanket this time appearing as a melancholic drone sequence over beats syncopated to the max. bonus cut untitled is the 2006 original of a tune bass music heads will be familiar with by now... beats from the machines, heartfelt lfo’d chords and arpeggiated bleeps round off this uncompromising twelve.

played by claude von stroke, timo maas, luciano, livio & roby, mihalis safras, d julz, hosh! after his huge success of the summer that was >trumpets victory< only 19-year old kiddo david august is back on stil vor talent with his second ep: sweden roof. sweden roof is also the title track on this two-track ep that is about the funkiness of house music and the glorious moments of melodies. a cut up vocal sample dominates the groove until we can hear why david august is more than a producer, but a musician after all. the great organ melody will have whole floors swinging along to this monster of musical raffinesse. this sound is like crack, once you try, you want more of it. now! and luckily there is. feeding our addiction on the flip is soul kitchen, an even more organic piece of tech-house-niceness. clap snares, pianos, a deep male vocal sample and equally as much sex appeal as dancing at the carnival in rio. this is soulful house music and it doesnt get any better. these two new tracks show that david august is no one hit wonder. >sweden roof< proves how deeply david seems to be in touch with house music - and the dancefloor.

the second and final voyage direct remix ep. four remixes from homeland amsterdam.
aardvarck, boris werner, san proper and sotu the traveler deliver the goods here and do what they do best, creating a diverse set of mixes. boris delivers an even deeper mix of >lost in the streets of nyc<, which is already being played by the likes of ricardo villalobos et al. aardvarck roughens up >on the side< in his well-known cultcopy style. while san proper discofies >use me< and sotu morphs the title track into a dubstep/house hybrid. new shit!

a landmark house record to kick of this series. a very important release and produced by ron hardy - one of the most important djs at the time and instrumental in shaping the (chicago) house sound. real body music! this ep was released in 1985 and is one of the earlier trax releases (th 109). it remains one of the hardest to get and most in demand trax releases. originals go for over 100 dollars and even the late 90s repress is expensive, let alone the original limited edition white vinyl. we are happy have this available again in its full glory and remastered. first 300 copies will be white vinyl in tribute to the original

killer first release on skudge. fusing up some tasty dub styles with disco and techno elements.... big record - even bigger tip!

well known for her electrifying panoramabar sessions, representing her love for all things deep, sensual and musical about house music steffis talent has blossomed out of her relationship with the musically entwined cities of amsterdam and berlin.
her touching, classic-jack inspired productions continue to gracefully bubble towards the international surface with this 12 inch. her debut cut for the label, >24 hours<, featured on tama sumos >panoramabar 02< compilation set out her production intentions quite eloquently. >kill me< continues the warm, traveling night-time vibes and opens steffis signature sound up into a full vocal-led celebration of house.

steffi also shows off her skills with the >crushed soul< mix, allowing her intuitive, sentimental yet dancefloor tuned chord progressions to flow stronger. baassline led and focused on clean, precisely measured beats and synth lines to tell the story, this alternative version goes even further to suggest what treats are yet to come from this talented producer.

on his new album, pantha du prince, who lives in berlin and paris, claims: music slumbers in all matter, any sound, even silence, is already music. the mission, then, must be to render audible what is unheard and unheard of: black noise, a frequency that is inaudible to man. black noise often presages natural disasters, earthquakes or floods, only some animals perceive this calm before the storm. black noise is something archaic and earthy. the music on black noise balances precariously on the slippery threshold between art and nature, between techno and folklore, which lends it a certain spectral and intangible aspect. black noise also features a couple of special guests - noah lennox of animal collective sings on >stick to my side< and tyler pope of !!! and lcd soundsystem plays bass on >the splendour<.

hailing from israel but now based in berlin, ofrin fastly gained more and more fame over the last few years, especially in germany. they preset a unique sound of avantgarde pop that easily combines with nostalgia and modernism, fuelled by the beautiful voice of singer ofri brin and her perfect musical match: composer kd. the how come track was featured on their most recent (2008) album titled on shore remain. we are very proud to present a fine pack of electronic music remixes, done by daso, phonique, tigerskin and tundra, and we even added two edits for radio usage

okains dj career kicked off back in 1999, when at the tender age of 15 he began spinning regularly at parties. influenced by french legend laurent garnier, it wasnt long before he was offered his first residency. since then, he has gone on to play at the hottest of paris nightspots, including the rex club and social club. through playing at the now famous dimuschi parties he teamed up with paul ritch. after some time studying in sound engineering, the pair released their first ep under their handycraft alias on kickboxer. since the success of that >le bal masque< ep, okain has gone on to release on labels including robotronic, bpitch control, four twenty, tsuba, quartz and of course jetaime, and has been fully blooded in the art of touring. gigs have flooded in, and his travels have seen play many of europe s finest nightspots. his >blackrock< ep on quartz earlier this year found fantastic success with so many of you, and today our good friend is back, with the awesome >acrobat<.
the original sees okain take the warm, techy path. a lo-slung groove leads us into the melodic strings. matched with sharp efx, strong beats and a demonic laugh, this is a sure fire winner. first on remix duty is label head alex dee. toughening proceedings, alex creates a driving, somewhat tribal work out. relentless beats work brilliantly with the now chopped vocal, to create dramatic tension that builds to a crescendo in the break. a fantastic mix. a great package already, and one that just got even better with the edition of daniel mehlharts incredible rework. the frankfurt producer is hot property right now, and this mix showcases perfectly just why. deep, warm and moody, with huge helpings of classic detroit touches, the originals strings are accompanied by weighty synth stabs, to stunning effect. essential.

right on the heels of our previous bass/electro smasher, we hit you with the most anticipated house/disco record of recent times. helsinki 78-82 is a project by top billin team members flipper & koobra, whove always been active and always been down to bring something new to the label. while flipper is part of the top billin dj team and has always been the most high-flying of us, so no wonder the the new 12inch is some musical bliss thatll leave you feeling that good good. this is what we call big city house music, when youre cruising the streets at night with the top down - no words needed. in a manner michael mann would be proud of. so lifelike is a sort of remake of lifelikes great so electric (under permission), although this time it comes with vocals from our great helsinki new wave partners villa nah. if you are in need of a new end-nighter, this is it. cruising is a tune full of that pumping big city feel with driving drums and great synth work that will get them ladies on the floor and will fit into those funky house / modern disco sets. we even have a video for it, but its a different kind of cruising than you think (no al pacino)…

the yore captain returns to his own yore imprint on the labels 21st release. shadow city presents different visions of funky house grooves. the a sides the y theme gets deeply moving with a funky house pulse before stoking the fire with the addition of speaking voices (trippingly intoning the q&a what are we doing this for? and the music), a move which single-handedly jumpstarts the track. after the voices appear, the grooves intensity escalates and plunges deeper, its gyroscopic house swing becoming more dizzying and torrential with each passing bar before coming to an acidy storming end. in its opening moments, shadow city opts for a deeper and more serenading vibe by comparison, but thats traded in for a slinkier attack at the three-minute mark that grows progressively more ferocious as the track makes its drastic upwards ascent. a trippin dangerous murder weapon to say the least. watch your heads! the b sides b2 track, mumbai dweller keeps the focus primarily on the bottom end, specifically a strutting tribal-house funk groove thats dragged even deeper by a throbbing bass undertow, adding dark chords to it, giving this ep a darker feeling towards the end. to sum it all up: this is raw house music at its best!

2009 was a great year for these days records, and 2010 promises to be even better. the platform stood out for its innovative yet functional club sound and unique artwork concepts. the new year begins with a new split series under the name universal consciousness, based on the idea of connection between all things, and that all things have been coordinated, and they combine to make up the same universe. the first part is dedicated to two very different takes on spiritual, cosmic space techno. on the a-side argys >sometimes im blind< generates a long and uplifting emotional climax, which features a solo that will forever stay in your heart. the track was recorded at the end of 2008, and despite numerous offers to release the record elsewhere, nothing was finalised and the recording never saw the light of day. soon after the birth of his own label, it naturally fit the platform and seemed a perfect way to start the new year. on the flip side, sheffield born alexander ross, brings forth a cavernous techno piece awash with reverberation and spacial echos that brings a driving yet non the less emotionally captivating moment perfectly in balance with the depth of the a-side.

our man ryo murakami sends over the next transmission in his exciting and growing catalogue of productions. always inspired by the raw and soulful sound of chicago and new york, this next ep puts forward his vision and continuation of this timeless house feeling. lead track >just for this< is a wonderful celebration of heavy slow motion house. classic house references and even a few classic samples meet in a dirty, deep ride into the tweaked out and extended vibes of the late night people. a journey through the city of house, a perfect refl ection of the times, bringing warmth and light in a once colder world. graeme clark aka the revenge, a fi gure who has enjoyed much success with his deviant disco sound, steps up for remix duties - and a fi ne job he does too! building his mix from the bare bones, adding a little more pace and forward momentum, his version is also tightly bound within the roots of emotional, deep vibes house. this is an outstanding remix - functional, clear and fully devoted to the classic sound. on the b side a mysterious original, >untitled<, sees ryo pushing things a little further still. the energy levels climb higher and higher as this modern hypno-houser phases and pulses upwards over nearly 8 minutes of jacking, sample laden freshness. we love to visit ryos house, where everybodys welcome and theres smiles all round

here comes a highgrade split ep. marcus homm and ludwig coenen share the honours on one record, and instead of competing for the glory, both producers compliment each other perfectly. markus homm, the global player, starts off as assured as ever with another great track. golden glow rolls towards a dramatic stage for hysteria. homm takes the listener in with a heavy and richly sweet narrative style. matches brings even more excitement, pushing forward with brilliantly entangled sounds that hit you more in the hips than the stomach, telling a tale of promise in the early morning hours. ludwig coenen, the man from infamous frankfurt, brings dancing into the realms of the zoo! with its not a zoo he manages to combine various sounds into a funky and functional harmony. the 2nd track mind your head breaks the standard mould and uses a broad sound palette to construct a new and unique field of maximum funk.

the idea of this first maracana was to include the past, present and future of the musical style of suruba, edit tracks from some of the classics in suruba as tigerskin or spektre or even los suruba themselves, artists that have worked well and with whom we are bound in a great friendship like marc depulse and these who are going to a new sound as it is the case with uner.

tonbaumeister’s love for electronic music roots deep in the late eighties when he got his first computer, a commodore c-64, and when he instantly fell for the distinctive sounds of its sid chip. always driven by this passion he since then devoted himself to producing electronic music on various computing platforms and with multiple different programs to discover and soon constantly reinvent his own style. growing up in hessen, in the very heart of germany, he was deeply influenced by the endlessly evolving styles of house music and techno, which shaped the face of the vibrant club culture in cities like frankfurt and kassel. although tonbaumeister’s style might prematurely be declared as house music, the diversity of his productions makes it almost impossible to put them in a box and label them. his energetic tracks range from straight house to tech house to almost dark technoid characteristics, but suddenly one finds oneself surpr ised by the aforementioned sounds of late eighties computer games embedded in a psychedelic landscape with rough sawtoothy baselines. as hard as it is to pin down his production style, it is even harder to label his dj sets, which, as well as his productions, constantly evolve and morph while mirroring all of tonbaumeister’s influences. since 1999 he developed a passion for djing and he has had the chance to transport his enthusiasm into a number of clubs, infecting many clubbers with his verve. at the moment he is about to launch his own label subclinical

stroboscopic artefacts third release sees label owner lucy and underground trailblazer ercolino, inspired by novelist michael endes imagery, create two visions of a nihilistic future. the 12inch begins with the tale of fear incarnate >gmork<, the most powerful weapon for controlling society. the a-side is a portrait of this terrifying beast: slinking baselines come from its black heartbeat and white noise grows from its unearthly appetites. fat, squelching noises emerge as light, hope and ideas are quashed, ground up and eaten. the sound is viscose, violent and deep seething red. what emerges is a genius slice of dark, brooding techno crafted from the nectar of your darkest nightmare. the story gets even bleaker with b-side >so the nothing grows stronger<, a narrative of blips, bleeps and squeals. this extreme dub techno track is a mutinous call to arms, the sound of the insurgence. here beats forge together, fortified by a devastating charge, till the track crunches away into nothingness

while the first outing on this new label from the italian edit champs is still a highlight in many a djs box another incredible outing from ltj comes along. two more reworks of fine soul and disco tunes that have a strong chicago deephouse sensibility to them. this received a record number of hits on soundcloud and might even be bigger than the first swde!

we are delighted to welcome the mighty russ gabriel to ever expanding dieb family and have him contribute this excellent 3 track ep to our catalogue. fans of russ sound as well as the uninitiated will not be disappointed here as there is a very wide stylistic audio palette on display here-yet still retaining russ quintessential production aesthetic and quality.
ranging from the epic, old school >returning home< with its haunting pad and melodious bass arpeggios to the stripped back chugging tech house workout of >push it along< and the futuristic, techno-infused >narita express< with its modulating stabs and catchy, repetitive bassline it is easy to see why russ is and has always been considered a unique and exciting music visionary equally capable of creating harmonic, atmospheric soundscapes or high energy, functional beats aimed squarely at the dancefloor.
whatever your preference, this package is sure to satisfy even the most discerning ear or demanding club crowd! enjoy!
