after a 2 and a half year wait i finally managed to knock out a new single. its actually only my 3rd solo single ever. im very happy with it but ive got mixed feelings trying to describe it. you spend a year working on a track and a lazy shop worker or journalist will lump you into the >cosmicbalearicspacewhatever< straightjacket in 2 seconds, i can at least resist to do the same… anyway, two are quite psychedelic and one is some kind of cover version of one of my favourite villalobos trax. as you can hear ive had loads of fun fooling around in the studio playing the bass, percussion, drums(badly) and synths(even worse…)…

ltd pic disc !!! iggor cavalera is recognized throughout the world as a master drummer and former member of none other than brazilian heavy-metal band sepultura. however, he is as much familiar with turntables and mpcs and he is with a drum kit, taking his credo of hard beat beat and applying it to other projects. as mixhell, he and his wife, laima leyton, combine dancefloor and hard rock sensibilities for dj sets and their productions (just check their great remix for clp, previously on boysnoize records, which is a mix of brasilian baily and rave) for this release bnr bring back young star brodinski, who did his first remix ever for d.i.m. back in 2007 on bnr. he has made a name out there with great productions (turbo, mental groove) and remixes (radioclit, ed banger, bonde du role), supported by a wide range of djs like sven väth, laurent garnier, erol alkan and the ed bangers - to name a few. he has touched mixhells song “highly explicit” and made it to the perfect spring house hymne. he took the balearic elements of the original combined with a classic house arrangement and when it comes to the massiv break the track reveals a clear message: this is a hit. a must for every house or techno dj in the upcoming spring and summer season

probably the most outrageous promo reaction playtime has ever seen, jazz thang is what happens when you ask two producers to work together who are both just millimetres away from the bigtime. on one side you ve got andre crom s jazz thang, an - unsurprisingly - jazzy number that builds on the wonkier material he s already known for with safari electronique, leftroom, memo and sender. also on the a is gettin funky, a retro-90s house number with contemporary bass. but then on the b, you ve got riva starr s amazingly catchy and fluid re-rerub of jazz thang - which has struck a chord from the nu ravers (massive - tommie sunshine) to the commercial djs like d ramirez and even tocadisco, the ubercool underground types like karotte and marcus vector, and of course the king of wonk, claude von stroke

supported by move d, fred p, keith worthy, dj deep !! jitterbug began djaying at the age of 15 in the uk. and now more than 10 years later, has as much passion and enthusiasm for it as ever. chicago house music became his first real love, blown away by the rough yet soulful grooves of producers like gemini and cajmere, and the hard, funky sounds of labels like relief records, prescription, and dance mania. detroit techno followed suit, and a strong fascination for the roots and history of dance music led to a love for black music in all its many

joris voorn & jerome sydenham remixes !! joris voorn stands unquestionably amongst the very finest of todays electronic music production elite. the ever growing list of undisputed hits to come from the dutchmans rotterdam studio confirms is status as one of only a handful of current recording artists capable of creating with each subsequent release a flawless, precise sound that never lacks the essential human touch and organic flow necessary to deliver the biggest results in modern electronic dance music. with his remix of >destination nagano< voorn uses the originals distinctive, driving stab to build an epic, spiralling journey of a track which swings back and forth between wild, wailing sirens and graceful chord phrases before opening out into a beautiful, soaring break and drop momentdestined to create huge impact across the globe thisspring. jeromes shinkansen mix on the b side sees the extended form of the original become compressed and intensified as sydenham takes hold of the improvised key solo and creates an exhilarating house moment reminiscent of a certian classic, much loved ibadan sound.

having made his debut in 2006 on rip n burn recordings and also appearing on hadshots 10 year anniversary complation in 2007 under his alias audiolizer, israeli producer matan arkin has forged a style for himself that is both heavy in its orchestral audio mentality while keeping enough low end bounce and grime to be aimed squarely at maximal dancefloor effect. angels strikes a balance directly between sentimental yet bounding tech house and bass driven electro house, creating an end result that is both melodically enthralling and rhythmically grabbing. bordering on the edge of emotion, the simple melody carries the track till its end while an unwavering bass makes itself known without ever dominating the forefront. black is beautiful utilizes the sultry vocals of selecta beats recording artist elisete as the theme around which a slow, simple and naughty groove is built. with the lyrics deviously weaving their way around an ever-transforming musical backing, the song creates itself as a sweltering escapade that doesnt abandon its charm until the last second. mipt shows matan digging deep into his studio dexterity to mold a wildly distinctive piece that borders on the edge of melodic abstraction while still stealthily keeping its grip on a distinguishable degree of mesmerizing harmony. never losing its way through a complex maze of synths and squelches, the song serves as a vivid and vibrant highlight that reminds that plain simplicity isnt the only way to guarantee success on the dancefloor

the running back sports team is glad to welcome two new players to its roster. dplay and whiz kid manuel tur (see also his brilliant ribn stuff) have caused a great stir with a bouquet of 12-inches for outfits like zurichs beloved drumpoet community or the compost black label as well as knocking out well-made remixes. for instance, their work on kiloos the passion is just adorable. here we have them melted into one organism called dplay, while mtur moves in silence (or in the production credits, if you please). stretching out on the a-side, huub sand is not only a tribute to two of schalke 04s greatest gentlemen, but a prime-example of cavernous, stoic and infective house those two (no not the schalke guys) had quite an impact on. initially planned to come with a remix by the mighty radio slave (please look at cat-no. 012 to see what became of that), our coach could convince the duo to hand out two rather atypical, nonetheless bloodcurdling tunes instead: tschaka kicks some deep dub disco houz styles of the highest orders with riot-like effects on your mind, body & soul. finally, schroulé is a claustrophobic corker, if we have ever seen one. should be the perfect sound track for padded cells and the up-and-coming remake of mel brooks frankenstein. these ruhrpott kids are alright!

orlando voorn prod. detroit influenced techno!!! ltd repress !!! alongside fix - flash, this is, in my opinion, the best thing orlando voorn has ever done. released on derrick mays fragile label back in 1993 its one of those tracks that just sounds like the future. highly recommended

one of the biggest producers of 2008, funkagenda returns hotter than ever with his new single breakwater.

sniff is the first true blow anthem ever in techno! pique nique is a game changer, modulating from chirpy fairy wiggle-house down to a sub bass groove that achieves the requisite hands-in-the-air factor !

after several months of underground pressure the orbital classic kinetic by golden girls (paul & phil hartnoll along with mike hazell) is finally getting a full release. one of the most ecstatic rave stabs ever is at the heart of this record and has now been reworked for 09 dancefloors by floorplay music - the label run by hot brighton production duo prok & fitch. the story began a year ago with prok & fitchs golden shower remix. instead of going down the bootleg or cover route they paid their dues and licensed the original track for their new label floorplay and set about getting some hot names to remix it. top of the pile is atfc who takes the original and gives it a tough house makeover. this man has been responsible for a few classic records of his own over the years so this combination is unstoppable. with the original orbital mix included this is an all time classic tastefully revisited.

with his first release ever >space ok ep<, stephen hellm enters k-records with a serious statement.the lead track - space ok - combines classic synth parts with a rythmic drive, and bass in your face kick. creating an ambiant fit for the highlights of the evening. workflow is a peaktime stomper with an uplifting synth and stimulating percussion that will set many dancefloors on fire. without a doubt a must-play for all those hands-in-the-air-moments.where workflow left you on a laser-filled dance floor, brk-durch takes you deep below the surface of the earth. its a 10 minute trip with a dark and growling melody that gets inside your head, never letting you go. there should be a warning attached to this song, saying: >caution, only to be used in obscure clubs at times when getting freaky and decadent.<mastered by robert babicz aka rob acid !this release comes in a white black marbled vinyl, limited to 500 copies worldwide!.

yagya has made a new album for us. we cant think of any other way to start this new, promising year as delightful. rigning is the icelandic word for rain and is aoalsteinn guomundssons third full length, the previous one will i dream during the process bestselling on sending orbs, the first one rythm of snow on legendary out of print status on force inc. yes, we think this album is a new step forward for yagya and we think this album has the prettiest and saddest melodies ever on a dub techno/ambient record, but we most kindly invite you to be your own judge. brilliant dub techno ambient album!

limited repress of the prodigys biggest hit ever, originally released in 1996.

stone cold classic funky disco floor filler thats stood the test of time. first time ever on 12inch!!! taken from the hard to find self titled lp by tommy stewart, bump & hustle music is the definitive disco funk party anthem. it was recorded in 1976 in atlanta, georgia, and since then the lp has found itself in the play boxes of soul, funk and jazz djs alike. however, its not until now that this amazing song has finally made it onto the preferred format of dance djs the world over – the 45rpm 12inch single. in 1976 tommy stewart was a busy man, working as an arranger, producer, performer and writer for a host of soul and rnb artists. the lp made for abraxas records was the first to go directly under his name, and although it failed to take off locally, the lp soon became known by djs across the world primarily for the club smash bump & hustle music. as it happens that song in particular almost didnt exist but for tommy needing to come up with something quick in order to fill in a gap in the album. conceived and recorded on the spur of the moment, and with backing vocals by isaac hayes singers hot buttered soul overdubbed later, its a superb example of rhythmic simplicity blended with soulful, catchy harmonies. its just impossible to listen to bump & hustle music without a broad smile coming to your face, and when played loud in a club, its impossible not to dance!

the most skanking acid techno track ever gets two giant size remixes, acid style from aaron and the geezer and then a hard to the max techno version from the getafix label crew

compared by adam beyer, truesoul is the ying to the yang of the techno tastemakers better known drumcode label. equally well respected, equally forward thinking, both labels are very much at the forefront of what is going on in electronic music. operating on a broad remit and refusing to be restricted by genre boundaries, truesoul offers an oasis for the great and good of techno where they can experiment with elements of electronica, downtempo, house and minimal. having hosted the work of cari lekebusch, joel mull, nihad tule, par grindvik, speedy j and beyer himself, the mantel is now passed to dustin zahn. best known for his ever reliable enemy records imprint, zahn is one of the most in-demand producer / djs on the techno circuit with his releases for the likes of drumcode, droid and audio assault staple choices for many

ever since hearing the terrestrial variations ep and later the vicarious disco ep we have been big fans of nebraskas work. thats why we were happy and surprised at the same time when we found out he had an unreleased ep in his catalog...

black diamonds by codec & flexor was originally released in 2002 on forte, the label of the strongly deplored christian morgenstern. it was huge back then, and ever since its been a stand-out track in the sets of michel de hey. thats why now he decided to re-release the original with a version from the hottest remixer on the planet, gregor tresher. of course theres also michels very own re-rub

just when we think hes exhausted his stockpile of secret weapons!! heres another duo of killer edits from mr mang!! ray mang better known to his buddies as raj gupta is the behind the scenes guy who has had a hand in some of the uks finest discoid moments ever released! a plethora of releases on labels like noid, fiasco, u star, nuphonic etc etc have cemented his reputation as an amazing producer in his own right and engineer extraordinaire for the likes of the idjut boys & many more. the newly revitalized mangled label has given us an excuse to unleash these classic re edited and totally remastered cuts into the community.

2001, the year that sunshine from dance nation ruled the dance floors around theworld and ever since then has stayed in the record boxes of most djs under the category classics. as it is widely known in the dance community shaun is not really a big fan of cover versions, so just like with laid back (bakerman) shaun hooked up with the original producers and writers and secured the original vocal samples, making this version a real official update instead of just another cover version. incorporating the typical and unique baker sound makes sunshine again internationally interesting.

for our third release apple pips is proud to present a relative newcomer from san francisco ? jus wan. out of the countless demos and mp3s we get sent, jus wan instantly stood out with his blend of 2 step rhythms, techno soul and deep subs?appleblim cut both tracks and got a great reception to them, so much that he included action potential on his dubstep allstars vol.6 mix cd for scene-leaders tempa? action potential ? deep as you like?relentless rolling riddim, berlin techno style delayed stabs and a solid foundation of bass make this a fresh take on the sound? affletic ? switching the tempo to 140bpm and twisting the same sounds into ever more entrancing shapes t++ shows his love of drumfunk producers such as paradox in a new exciting context

its been a while since the last release by mark august on connaisseur, but now hes back with an extraordinary one. two tracks, both like a fairytale of a country far, far away. a fable, with mystic and mysterious animals and creatures, might best describe what mark had in mind while working on the tracks. the wasps from tunisia and the silver piggy – the main track on this release is an uncommon piece of music. it starts moody and with a stoic pumping beat, yet also a somehow laidback feeling. it then unexpectedly and surprisingly builds up to a monster of a track, working manically towards its climax. then however, over the length of the track, it completely transforms again, coming back to its beginning, as though nothing had ever happened. scorpions groove is a deep and dubby affaire.

t.b.s. (initials of the bloody sisters) is a band based in paris and, unlike the appearances, exclusively composed by men. they&#146,re about to release their first ep >time machine ep< on the label sismic music. already supported by new scene names such as mr flash, naive new beaters, this first ep with a definite electro-funk groove will feature the track time machine already available on the compilation ever better released by emi and an exclusive remix by alyoa aka guillaume manbell a half of teenage bad girl band.

the 4th installment of the sounds superb series explores further the possibilities of randomness. this time its a bit more on the stoner tip. lots of editing and messing with the turntable pitch control to generate the depth and exitment we love so much when sampling. we liked it so much that we had to include 20 min. short radio mix of conservation of momentum.

discovered by ben watt in 2003, chris woodward was quickly snapped up by buzzin fly and has been a key resident ever since his style is deep house with plenty of funk, bassline and melody in equal parts - he never fails to draw the crowd onto the dancefloor. support from ben watt on his kiss fm radio show

disco don doug willis aka joey negro aka dave lee has been raiding the vaults for dancefloor delight for twenty years now and we find him as on top of his game as ever. taking the al hudson guitar lick made massive by chubby chunks he crafts a funky floor filler around that. manchesters finest the audiowhores take it into tougher, funkier territory with 2 slamming mixes as zedd close the year in some style with another modern disco masterpiece, these boys never put a foot wrong
