sometime chicken lips collaborator and full time disco don stevie kotey keeps the momentum going on his longstanding and ever consistent imprint by going slightly off piste with the latest bearfunk 12inch. for my friends is the work of lusty zanzibar aka alex cordiner, cabaret voltaire fan and former holistic artist, and we re struggling to describe it effectively to be honest. its a simple concoction of fluttery synth riffs and fat bottom end, but has the sort of quirky melody that you just dont expect to hear in a noo disco record, or a house record for that matter. it is, however totally infectious, and destined to be one of bearfunks biggest of the year we reckon. solid mixes come from kotey and lusty himself, and all are dominated by the riff, as will your brain be after listening to this package a few times. beginning of the night, end of the night, all night, all aboard the wonky disco train to zanzibar

even though danger is ever-present in many of our daily lives, most have the luxury to live a sheltered life protecting them from day to day harm. the red zone is a term usually used to describe a very dangerous if not lethal area in which one must tread and dj bone takes you there with this ep

the long awaited trentemøller debut album - maybe one of the most anticipated independent albums of the year. trentemøller is one of the hottest artists on the electronic circuit - the man of the moment! a beautifully crafted, astonishing masterpiece, that will leave you breathless. the tracks form a story, almost like the soundtrack of a movie. it manages to capture a whole range of emotions in subtle melodic miniatures, dreamy ambiences, dusty beats, deep dub-tracks and driving groove-excursions. an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colours and moods, -the last resort- without a doubt contains trentemøllers best work to date. although its an electronic album, it also incorporates live-drums, guitars, bass and other acoustic instruments like celesta, glockenspiel, melodica and even dj scratching to create a more organic feel

ultraphat percussive monster techno...best advent ever, incl futuristic electro burner !!

another quality dmx krew masterpiece we at turbo are longtime fans of dmx krew, so its a real honor to work with him again 6 years after his last contribution to our now defunct sub-label white leather. we dont normally trace an artists history or include much biography in our press releases, but we feel the need in this case to pay our respects to a long and brilliant career. with all the crap that gets paraded around nowadays its easy to forget who the real masters are... ed dmx is one of them. ive always held a soft spot for ed, he was one of my favorite producers in the proto-electro heyday. hearing his live version of the knight rider theme at sona (tigas club circa 96) was (believe it or not) a revelation. of all the artists id met up until then, he was the coolest, he could play synths better than anyone id ever heard, he had the balls to do vocals in his live-set but he was a sweet, softspoken, and super funny guy. for reasons ive never understood, eds pop side didnt seem to take off and for awhile things took a distinctly experimental turn... interesting stuff, but a departure

played by : gabriel ananda / claude von stroke / david ellesmere / stephan bodzin... the afu master returns with part two of the las vegas series with slotmachine ! its inspired by the ever rotating and flashing world of the slotmachines and the glamour of the city of sin ! already tested in his live set to great success, this is the next smash on afu limited ! but as usual words cannot describe music, so listening is the best to make your own decision

this is not a drum & bass record. really. spl comes with his first ever hardcore record

big with dave clarke !! the biggest release so far on the ever growing team recordings, vincent watson on the remix of this beautiful piece of vinyl by shirazi

well, the summer festival season is near its end, time to bring you some of the raw stompers that youve been dancing to this season! greg notill and i will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger: if there ever was a famous movie quote to capture the pure essence of the friendly frenchmans track it would be this line from pulp fiction. fierce beats, frantic percussion and even some acid influences. this one has it all! motormorfoses eto and gab, the devistating duo from brazil are now operating from spain and though the name may have changed, the output remains the same. pure relentless beats and power! after opening their track with an electro type bassline and some nice broken beats, pure havoc kicks in soon as the beat drops. hardtrax half of the hardtrax vs. jackhamma liveact and the german bridge between hardtechno and hardcore techno. the dark force recordings co owner comes up with an intriguing brew of raw beats, precise positioned percussion and an 80s type of choir sound that will simply blast you away!dj ogi the torch holder of the croatian techno scene recently spawned us with numerous strong releases on labels such as submissions and cannibal society. we are pleased to say he maintains this line and even raises the bar a little by incorporating some oldschool elements. bet you cant control your feet when you hear this track

the into the night ep is a wonderful deep, slow & moving record that should be one of the highlights in this years autumn sessions. into the night kicks off with some wild pitch – alike chords and builds up soulful, moody but strong. tectonic move is so damn groovy and might be one the funkiest trax ever coming out of the metaworld universe of matt flores. also the tempo of almost 120 bpm is sexy as hell... all percussions & the bass are played live by matt flores. “tectonic move” also features some extatic detroitish synths that makes you scream. a definitive winner! the tectonic move flores & saenger dub has been rearranged a bit by matt flores and farsides ingo saenger (one half of westpark unit). they stripped the tune, put more focus on the groove and re dubbed all harmonies & synths. the result is a funky smokers riddim for all you dubby tool headz out there.

nice price deal !!! ever-relentless with inarguable melodies, rachel claudio hits back, this time in conjunction with dave mckinney (soul harmonics, flow dynamics) with this funk-loving floor-burning treat.. be ready for powerful vocals and crazy remixes!

this is the second part in the three-part series >join the resistance< by 22 year old tim toh and another proof for this young producers huge talent and unique character! >three< on the a-side is a masterpiece of discoesque harmonies going nuts, a lovely string topping and a sparse but effective rhythm…the sweetest piece of house music we ever released?!!…most definetly! >four< on the flip is a funked up track covered in charming synthlines that almost sound like natural ochestral instrumentation, with their woodwind-like charakters. great tension in the arrangement again! >five< is the most likely house track on this 12inch, deep chords top a heavy shufflin rhythm… timeless matter! thanks for purchasing a real copy

slap - one of the most obscure and forward thinking acts from the early 80s meets the spearhead of today’s electronic music, ricardo villalobos. the originals are disturbingly brilliant electronic excursions, while villalobos’ jazz-fueled rework is one of the deepest mixes he has ever done. vivid drums are built around a driving bassline, aiming the track right at the floor. not to mention the rough claps! imagine miles davis’ “bitches brew” joined by throbbing gristle, playing “minimal techno” live. earlier this year macro unearthed namlook’s long lost “subharmonic atoms” featuring outstanding pépé bradock remixes. this continuation of the “prototypes” series is none less of a dream team. slap’s experimentalism just seems to be the right inspiration for ricardo villalobos, who takes it to a level of weirdness only he can achieve while retaining such danceability. essential!

there is certainly not enough space to tell you all the great things about move d we would love to share with you. being the musical mind behind the legendary source records imprint, david moufang has always been a versatile and prolific character. from ambient soundscapes to krautrocky epics, jazz sensibilities or straight up techno and house, he has done it all with his own special and unique touch. this lovely fingerprint is spread all over the “cube ep . intended as a tribute to heidelberg’s finest club night of the same name (don’t mix it up with that other square project!) , move d shots two arrows straight into your heart. “cube” is one of those stripped down hypnotic affairs that seem to go on forever and ever just to surprise you with a nice breakdown, before it’s groove sucks you in again. we guess this is what people mean, if they talk about the beauty of simplicity. “heidelberg gals” flips the script in three parts with an old school approach and turns into a monolithic house monster with a bassline to boot. panache! bust a move d!

(juan sanchez remix) wolfskuil head honcho darko esser has been following thomas ever since he started out, so it was only a matter of time before he would make his wolfskuil debut

likely ep is tims first release on tiefschwarzs souvenir label. lead track alike sounds like ivan smagghe jamming with richie hawtin in a warehouse rave in london, skirting a line between futuristic tech house and discerning electro. a live bassline holds down the groove as a trickling bleepy melody develops throughout the track. as more and more layers of elaborate sonic trickery are laid down, a driving snare jacks out the groove further before a series of effects laden breakdowns tighten the tension further and further. cowbells take the second phase of the track ever taughter before the groove emerges into a stabbing hook and pulsating synth noises that drive the dancefloor into blissed out oblivion. subtle vocals tease the ears in the background of the final strung out breakdown, never quite dominating the tune before the jacking bass and kick drop back in. ‘unlike shares a similar vibe for mixing live instruments with plug in madness. live sounding bassline and guitar lines open the track and roll out the groove before the main synth hook takes over. as the track rolls in and out of its breakdowns it lurches between reverb heavy, bleepy chaos and futuristic rhythms. think depeche mode writing an experimental instrumental on the moon in 2012 and youre halfway there. like many french artists these days tim lives and works in london and also collaborates with fellow frenchies ivan smagghe and dante eprom. he first caught the attention of vinyl sleuths with his excellent remix of db (8)s future now in 2004 and now runs his own label marketing music as well as pushing the boundaries of spacey electro flavoured tech house with his own solo material.

dirty disco queen is one of the most played tunes by tiesto in his worldwide famous program club life. thomas schwartz and fausto fanizza ever rocks!!!

played by tiga, dj hell, 2000 and one, judge jules!! mega crunchy and phat mono-clubber ! after realizing they shared the same passion for monotone rhythms and claustrophobic sci-fi sounds, kristian & christian started making music together two years ago. many influences comes from early drum & bass records, acid house and of course from the local swedish techno empire, signed beyer, mull, lekebusch etc. after playing live at several clubs in sweden, the duo have taken their creativity to the next level and are now ready to release their dark driven loops with the ever growing and expanding afu community and on afulab

the clubby summer season of 2008 is just about to explode and the creme of electronic dance music is all but departed to their summer positions. while already packing their suitcases, jesus loved you crew still found time to release yet another in their grand series of records. the occasion was right and so was the choice: what better way to start the rockiest time of the year then to make public this exquisite collection, put together by one of the ibizas finest! guys like wally lopez hardly need to be introduced: playing with the most excellent and producing for the best position, wally lopez is widely considered to be one of spains leading deejays and producers. although he is working in london most of the time, mediterranean temper still runs through his veins always making his music sound positive and cheerful. in wideband wally lopez gives way to his love for bouncy rhythms and dramatic bridges taking us on a journey through his ever-changing soundscape. with a fine touch for the more relaxed ambience of summer partying, he keeps his base line low and gives way for his exciting melodies to develop freely

supported by, carl cox!!, john digweed, dj remy, dave seaman, sander kleinenberg, dj preach, mark broom, spiros kaloumenos, renato cohen, cristian varela, and many more it s time for some risky business: let s play bryzant games! in his typical easy-going and open-minded, limitless way, definition records label boss christian fischer strikes back by nonchalantly pulling out a brand new installment of his definition of maximum sound of his sleeves. freely exploring the outer limits of the electronic music universe with his new long-player, it is up to you where you want to take it: to the floor or to extremes! you choose! whether you prefer techno, electro or minimal,ranging from powerful floor tunage to melodic meltdowns, bryzant games has it all. exploring the multi-colored hemispheres of electronic dance music, christian, sounding stronger and more confident than ever, achieves the remarkable accomplishment of leaving behind stylistic conventions and pigeon-holing in favor of total musicality.

inflicted welcomes another hot newomer on the label, jan fleck! turn red is sven wittekind most fav. track at the moment! this track comes with a real heavy beat and some church bells before the breakdown is rolling over the floor with his sweepy piano melody, which is changing into a nasty synth after some seconds. when the beat is coming in again, there is no holding back for everyone! >i don t care< is a freaky fresh hardtechno track, with a good arrangement and nice vocalcuts! the breakdown in this track is pushin the dancefloor to the peaktime limit! >my descent< a nice compressed loop combined with a heavy baseline synth. making his way in the minds of the bassline lovin technoheads! >epic< is another huge track on this release! a great hardtechno loop makes his way to one of the best breaks ever. sweepy stabs bring you an evil baseline combined with a amazing dnb/breakbeat loop before the well done hardtechnoloop strikes back!

tru thoughts presents back gold will be vinyl only releases and will feature exclusive music which will be either unavailable for several months or never to be released elsewhere, ever. there are less than a thousand available worldwide. featured on this 12inch are four nuggets aimed at the djs. hints filling loosening bassline will test any soundsystem and totally reinvents the hot 8. bassnectar toughens up me&you with a mash up vibe. tm juke and jack baker have taken on and bettered fedde le grands put your hands up for detroit and broken it up funk style. the final track is the work of wonderkid trus me who turns belleruches reflection into a 4/4 groove masterfully.

kindisch is now eighteen releases old, and its mission - to uncover new talent, and to provide a platform for producers to evolve and experiment - is more passionate than ever. this time, the reins are handed to sascha braemer, aka hirtenfellner, and philip bader, who build on the promise of their releases on sup dub and get physical. >mamba drums< is, as its name suggests, a percussive, latin-tinged affair, with sweeping builds and heavy drops, layer upon layer of locomotive percussion and a skeletal four-note vamp designed to whip the listener into a state of frenzy (and sure to be successful in this aim!). a male vocal sample pervades on >thrill<, this time more gruff, more laconic, and edited so that the words become another percussive element rather than carriers of meaning. deep whirlpools of delay open up below a surface drift of jazz-tinged chords, from a minimalist sound palette bader and braemer paint a vastly evocative, effusive picture that will transport the listener, or dancefloor, to a strange and addictive place. >put your arms around me<, implores the soul-infused vocal sample on b >around<, over a yawning vista of synth chords bridged with sibiliant snares and subtle but earth-moving edits that leave no doubt as to braemer and baders mastery of dancefloor dynamics.

the brixton boys are back! black gold, with its modernistic beats and infused tic toc production brings the stereos back to the fore, proving they re as relevant as ever!

it only took a few months for french dj / producer yuksek, to be acclaimed worldwide by clubbers under the spell of his unstoppable alchemy, a touch of pop song-writing, saturated beats, psychic rock acid progressions, a hip hop flow here and there and ever-so-present uplifting tunes that never compromise the dance floor appeal of his tracks

osbornes ruling came out on influential us label spectral sound earlier this year, and has been racking up some fantastic support already. an emotive piece of lush deep house, ruling is an unashamed throwback to the early halcyon days of chicago and new york house music. a perfect slice of deepness for the warmer months...shur i kan is becoming ever present on the nrk roster of late, hes one of our favourite brit producer/remixers, and he stays faithfull to the original mix of ruling here but drags it onto the dancefloor somewhat with some stronger beats and heavier bottom end. king britt, meanwhile, opts for a heady, darker pounding drum remix, with spacious chords and freeform jazz flicked riffs. a little scubambient mix is also included here...

tom moulton is one of the most important people in the history of dance music. from inventing the first ever 12inch single to remixer to the stars, the trademark a tom moulton mix is a mark of quality given to only the finest records from grace jones seminal la vie en rose to the million selling mfsb disco anthem love is the message, to over 4000 remixes.

these hand-picked tracks are now available on a dj-friendly 2-sided-4-tracks-vinyl-ep and let me tell you, they are well worth the extra investment. the first of the bunch starts off with big man lexys fancy girl, an ever-growing minimal techy peak-time-pusher with a hushed vocal-sample, some anaologue signal sounds and a futuristic and pumping beat. add a great distorted melody to this on the breakdown and the dancefloor will thank you for putting this on: they will go mental! after this introduction, its the newcomers mickey monzza & joseph discos turn with their equally stimulating track lonely. this is a great modern piece of pumping dub techno with a straight-forward attitude. the hi-hats on this tune are mesmerezing, the clappy snares and sirens perfectly placed and the subtle dubby and groovy melody an ideal antithesis to this hectically moving tune. simply nice! but hold on, there is more to come. on the flip there is hamburgs house impressario h.o.s.h. with his track ben johnson and whether this title is a reference to the legendary sportsman or not, its a pretty record-worthy track: wonderful little stabs and vocal sounds and a bassline so warm and groovy it makes your heart melt. then when the breakdown hits you with its long and winding signal sound, the dancefloor will already be bathing in a floor filled with sweet happiness. this is truely delicious! the two newcomers and residents at hive club in zurich animaltrainer have the honour to finish off this ep with their oily tech-house-anthem talkshow, a superb main-floor-peak-time-melody-affair.

mike humphries returns with his first brandnew mastertraxx release in 2008. the latest gem in an ever growing series features 4 artists who bring you all great techno tracks straight for the floor. first up the divide straight from the uk delivering a fresh techno workout. followed by a very strong 2nd track on the a-side by wetworks (compound, punish) setting the pace a bit further and with some crazy drum edits he makes sure you will beg for more. the flip is for two new breeds. miss perception samples a bankmanager and adds serious flavour and rolling beats. delirium tremens tops it all of with his bouncy tune. a great diverse record compiled for just one goal: dance till you drop!

cool wallclock ... you can place every cube where ever you want .. style for your livinroom

rhodes accents and analog synth melodies, while a vocal chorus ups the soul ante during the marching strut of who am i, a beautiful example of timeless house music if there ever was one. in futuristic funk, a looped voice incessantly repeats too late now, thereby adding a touch of delirium to the tunes stomping swing, after which the vocal line expands into the chanted pray for brighter days / too late now / lose myself in the future / too late now. warmed by old-school synth flourishes, congas, and rhodes melodies, millers rich and seductive club music makes surrender the only possible proposition and a release so rarely deep and musical, which is therefore not to be missed.

emmanuel’s talent is steadily getting a well deserved recognition. after having his first release ever being played by practically everyone, emmanuel is back again to deliver another anthem that could only be described as unique and keeps the be as one quality standard high as expected. the ep title track indian wallpaper will gently take the floor back to india and its mystical atmospheres with a smart use of an enchanting melody and a phat groove. this tune sounds like a magical wake-up call for the soul. simply put it’s special. with the flipside tune lipflap emmanuel is back to his own very effective trademark techno grooves. phat basses with a tech funk edge and a simple and yet inteligent groove makes it the perfect follow up to parade.
