58 minutes of proto house, denizen loops, far flung folk, post punk, cosmic rock and other junk. after forging new ground with his previous sonic hotchpots >miscellaneous mutant mishaps< and >the exploding disco inevitable<, dom thomas returns with another brain melting audio escapade into the ether. the third album in his dynamic anti-mixtape series on brutal music is salubriously entitled >synthetic soul & other junk<, giving thomas free license to curate a mood that takes the unsuspecting listener on a cascading journey of edits and loops, blurring the lines of traditional dj mixes and original compostion. >synthetic soul< is composed of a variety of genres from >international disco frankenstien< thomas musical heritage, warping together vastly disparate records into a rich sonic tapestry. repeated listening recommended with or without substances...

fifth release on the acclaimed imprint from those lovely people over at the acclaimed sleazybeats blog. the dust just doesnt seem to settle at team sleazy who are set to unleash their fifth dish of mid-tempo filth. sbr005 should likely round out what has undoubtedly been more than a successful year for the sleazy beats crew. as hard as it might seem to upstage their recent sampler, this release by berliner daniel solar (of no more hits and dikso fame) is another trio of totally on point sleazy business which showcases daniels stellar skills. things start off with midfidelity funk, a snappy romp through steady synth and disco string territory. this little number delivers a perfectly spell-binding groove with nicely placed rhodes stabs, crisp tambourines and haunting vocal at the breaks. on the flip, twinkle love snaps out a sweet melange of piano, guitar/bass riff and morphing vocals that combine to give a lively mood and open atmospherics. finally, rounding up the ep is la fleur, a wonky yet punchy cut thats ripe with staunch drum sounds and strings amidst loopy vocal snippets for good measure. all three tracks ride a 110ish bpm groove that is likely to ring bells for those who have been following and digging the sleazy sound so far. the last few releases all sold out in a matter of weeks, so dont sleep on this. you know the drill by now: limited release, no repress.

its been a while for mr lovebirds and also the label teardrop to serve some fresh slices of homemade house jam. well, we think it better not to put out every bonus beat we program and rather wait until we have something that really deserves to be thrown in todays pool of musical randomness. do we sound bitter again? sorry, for that … must be the age. so … love & happiness. yeah, i want that and probably everybody does … well here ya go: its a slick slow house bomb with proper oldskool 909 drums and some sliding portamento chords that wont never leave your head!! at least until the breakdown when this track takes you even further back in time to that beautiful intro that has rarely been used more beautifully. its been tested for months now by vincenzo, phonique and mr bird himself and devestated every floor so far. let me put it this way - this is biiiig!!!! flipside is the rain - classic 90ies deephouse with a touch of kerri which we all love right? this has the typical lovebirds warmth that we all need in these modern techno times. and in this autumn too. none other than mr steve bug took care of the remix and delivered a superb very 90ies new yorican style version. keeping the warmth he added some percussion to it and turned this into a nice builder. enough talk … we are very excited about this release and looking forward to your full love on this one. play it loud and everywhere!! and maybe even chart it if youre a good lad!!

including remix by cristian vogel.

berlin-based markus schatz is no stranger to cargo edition. in 2009 he released his first ep >drippin< on this leipzig-based label. this track has since found its way into the sets of numerous well-known djs. markus schatz recently passed his certification exam qualifying him as a professional sound technician, an excellent reason to celebrate with a new release. his latest album for the leipzig-based cargo edition label contains 5 tracks, all of which perfectly reflect the unique charm of markus schatz. the tracks are deep, yet excellent for deejaying and go far beyond the ordinary dj tools. schatz collaborated with markus homm on two of the ep tracks - >i need< and the digitally available >feels like home<. the two artists met as labelmates on the berlin-based label highgrade, on which both have been releasing albums for quite some time.
luciano (cadenza): cargo edition is a great label, probably one of the most quality dance music.. full support!

without a doubt >golden dusk< is the best track we have heard so far this year. a very rare combination of deep techno and dancefloor hysteria! limited pressing on golden marbled vinyl.

new kanada presents a collection of superbly deep and tight emo house tracks by seuil. all three cuts here are made for the long mix, blending elements of classic house, deep techno and random dopeness into a very modern whole. >nine clouds< is a classic slow-acid burner with a long broken intro that unfolds into deep space. 93 hardcore meets global communication. >blank love< is a hazy delicate jacker with long noise echoes, an elastic lead and dripping steel drums … >lonely place< is drifting so far out, its almost gone … sublime and mellow, old and new … serious 10am vibe on this one.

after several releases on mathematics as contra communem opinionem, cco presents his latest release on the promising new label lux rec. with his impressive ep the secret life of a transistor bassline cco proves us once again his ability to space out and rock hard at the same time. what more do you need? this journey starts off in the sewers of a miserable city on the western hemisphere and takes us higher until we freely float in space. as we move at the speed of light but with no perception of time, we eventually land on planet venus. this is where jack inserts his pleasure plug into the acid machine and sets off a dirty romp. in our quest for the secrets of life, we thereafter push boundaries further and explore even far away galaxies. always bearing in mind the infinity of time and space.

edit-select reach their 10th release, and to celebrate they have chosen possibly the biggest track from the previous 9 releases. gary becks consumed. this monster of a track (which featured on richie hawtins sounds from can elles dj magazine mix), has been remixed by mark broom, and dutch techno legend speedy j. brooms bang bang mix is typical of his dark techno sound which of course fits perfectly on edit select, and speedy j cranks the intensity up a notch, with his repetitive groove that just sounds immense on a big system (when of course played on vinyl). there you have it. the labels biggest release to date, and by far the most limited

meakusma broadens its label profile with another brave and free-spirited release. sic! is a modern disco band with members jules etienne, alessandro tartari (from gui.tar and snax and snakettes) and producer and dj massimiliano pagliara (rushhour, needwat, balihu). they all share a passion for warm synth sounds, poignant melodies and groovy structures. far beyond typical or retro-kitsch, sic! have composed 4 wonderful disco songs full of summer, with timelessness firmly stamped on them. also check out the special remix 12 with remixes by errorsmith, quarion and lowlow. sweeet package!

nice price deal !!! prinzhorn dance school announce their return with new single – >seed, crop, harvest.< we havent heard a thing from tobin prinz and suzi horn for three years (their debut lp was released on dfa back in 2007) but theyve been far from work-shy. they toured extensively, then came home and built their own bespoke recording studio (the red shed) – and learned how to use it. time consuming endeavors which saw them drop off the music radar. which might just explain the title of the equally charged b-side >off the radar, off the system<. in their own words: >weve been busy. just not busy making records. you have to live too. you can only write so many songs about motorway service stations and airports<. they recorded and mixed both songs themselves in the red shed, with bob weston taking on mastering duties. …prinzhorn dance school are back! and dfa could not be more proud

a trak & armand van helden are back with another floorshaking disco / club banger!! additional electrohouse mixes from the in demand afrojack. probably the years biggest record so far act fast!

the man who brought you destination calabria is back! alex gaudino returns in 2010 with an absolute bang with i m in love (i wanna do it) feat. maxine. great vocals, catchy sound - just an anthem that screams summer, sunshine, sex ... you can almost touch the summer just by listening to this! the vinyl includes mixes from robbie rivera, kurd maverick, jupiter ace and paolo sandrini.

the journey begins with lose my life. lady blacktronika lays down her soulful vocals, deep bass and moody keys over simple and captivating motorcity beats. deep, groovy and hypnotic, the overall sound is far more than the sum of its parts.

this part of the urban graffiti saga focuses on the elements that make up our sound. covering all aspects, these tracks have been sourced from some of the most prolific artists in the scene over a period of time right up until the present, almost cataloging the progression of the scene as far as this side is concerned. this will take on the form of two 3-track eps with two additional tracks available for free download. if that isnt enough, we are also going to be giving away a free mix courtesy of d-man and h.o.d featuring tracks from the elements series including exclusives and forthcoming material.

supplement facts records continue their rich run of form by handing a label debut to detroit-native lee curtiss. the >and we all fall down< ep has been one of the most hotly anticipated from the israeli label and is set to become the soundtrack to the last echoes of summer. we continue to dance, as the days grow short our nights become longer and lees ep is the perfect accompaniment….>i can hear you arthur<, a tribute to one of lees long-time music heroes, arthur russell, is an emotional escape. with russell being a direct sound-inspiration for the release, we are treated to a longing for a far away love. with waves of sound that build and cascade, accompanied by pillow-talk whisperings, all creating eight minutes of rhythmic, warm grooves. arthur never sounded better. after the body-swaying vibes of the a, side b brings the perspirec-electronic throb and hip-grinding action of labor of love. after yearning for arthur, we are more than appeased with the beautifully sultry and ever so intimate vocals of stephanie selvaggio. with its rhythmic guitar opening belying its true intention, labor of love develops into a sensual dancefloor cut with stephanies vocals floating effortlessly with the acidic beats as she drives us ‚crazy, and we all fall down is a perfect example of an artist at his most vunerable. its brutally honest sound invites the listener in with open arms and wraps itself around them like a warm cashmere blanket. as the brutal realisation that summer is almost over starts to sink in…its worth taking comfort in records like this, that make the transition that much easier.

massive support from all keyplayers worldwide! techno from jena city strikes back! douglas greed first single on dekadent and maybe one of his best so far. after his wellknown releases on freude am tanzen, infine, acker records, ostwind and lebensfreude, mr. greed shows us his straight techno side of life.

bosco delrey is at once a thick combination of influences and a totally unique voice in current music. diplo describes him as >a sort of garbage can elvis from new jersey... teaspoon craziness, a pinch of rockabilly, and full cup of soul dressed in a leather jacket. he cant be topped as far as song writing... hes doin the music i wish i could if i had bought a guitar<, the fader called his song >round n round hillbillyhall, and boscos own myspace says >jerry lee lewis carol king of pop<. but whatever you call him, bosco delrey is making music that is instantly accessible, totally cool, and unlike anything else on our wide-sweeping mad decent radar.

emanating from japan, and discovered by eric d (of rub n tug fame). these re-edit masterclasses would never have gotten outside of their native market. luckily a helping hand from one of nycs most hyped party throwers has guaranteed a wider audience! all the combis so far have sold out in a matter of days and are now exchanging hands for silly money. this release has another glorious duo of obscure but super high quality dancefloor friendly edits. the price is a little more than we d usually like to charge, but if it wasnt for us, you d be buying these as japanese imports!

for his third release on dont be afraid semtek brings a rolling acid house vibe with remixes from neville watson, justin harris and isa gt.
the original builds from trademark uk bleeps and analogue drums into a wigged out discoid groove. neville watson takes you far up into the aether with a hypnotic hymn to the night, justin harris produces a dark and driving techno dub, and isa gt refashions an early semtek track >key< into a bara house banger equally at home in croydon as in her native columbia.

the west coast series continues... after the huge hasbeens release its sumerian fleet with a amazing 5 track ep full of big dark wave inspired tracks. the perfect sound track for a movie such as irreversible. scary, haunting and dirty! do we hear some influences of the cure? liaisons dangereuses? adult? front 242? john fox? by far the most inspiring electro release we have heard in a while with its crazy industrial drive and dirty machine funk and robotic synths. btw check out that last track blech erkrankung... that track alone is worth buying this record! big.

it was just a matter of time for marco zenkers first vinyl on ilian tape. after 3 digital eps, a handfull of rmxes and one side on the harry klein 001, he strikes back with his probably most impressive cuts to date. marco experienced many mysterious moments on munichÆs dancefloors so far. munichs dancefloors are mysterious for those who know. the time will bring changes. force back lay down and wait. jump on, turn around and move. open up and sing. prepare your body for her and come back. more or less thats marcos intention on his first own 12 inch. its deep and smooth, at the same time energetic like a bavarian thunder.

michigan central station built in 1913 for the michigan central railroad, was detroit, michigans passenger rail depot from its opening in 1913 until the discontinuance of amtrak service on january 6, 1988. at the time of its construction, it was the tallest rail station in the world. the building, located in the corktown district of detroit still stands today, though it remains unoccupied. restoration projects and plans have gone as far as the negotiation process, but none have come to fruition. spread throughout the city of detroit and its surrounding metropolitan area, the decay of once magnificent buildings during the industrial revolution and automobile era now cast a shadow of despair on a once flourishing city. these monuments of achievement now lay barren and forsaken by city government. infrastructural restoration and city development are fundamental elements in detroits recovery, and the recovery of cities worldwide. it is time for revival in our cities, but first, in our souls. the michigan central station ep is a platform for this change.

championed by: josh wink, karotte, stephan bodzin (my best track 2010 so far), len faki, reboot, john digweed, d julz, pete tong, nick curly, steve bug, kenny larkin, tobi neumann. systematic continue their never-ending hot streak with what is their 70th release, and the sixth from the dream team of marc romboy and blake baxter. after groundbreaking releases such as >freakin<, >house ya< and more recently >where would you be?<, the pair bring us the mighty >muzik<. for those unaware of the glittering background of mr. baxter, you should know that he holds a place as one of the protagonists in the historical development of detroit techno. his legendary releases on underground resistance, tresor and incognito are still firm favourites in the boxes of many of todays big jocks

first release by jonny comes with two far over ten minutes mad electronic funk jams. one side space station is fully devoted to (carl craigs) paperclip people and 69-projects. the other track brings jonny back to eighties styled disco, himself doing the bass which is stuck in your brains after one time listening.check

a first collection of on this new us label that is dedicated to bring contemporary edge by up-and-coming producers from chicago: garo, lokua, slava. and thats what they do here. a sweet collection of 7 solid tracks. given the locale, there is an undeniable house presence. its spirit spreads far and wide and permeates a great variety of styles of both slower and faster tempos. this album is as much for the club as it is for the tranquil home-listening environment, the deep synthesizer textures, ever-changing rhythms and rich melodic content will speak to you independent of setting. limited and well produced release! check!

espania fast becoming the techno capital of europe! slight exageration perhaps, but maybe those days won t be too far away. the transhuman label bursts onto the scene with a very impressive 5 track ep from arcanoid and the transhumans. from the off, the label plants is flag slap bang in the middle between detroit and berlin, which geographically may be somewhere in the mid atlantic, but musically, you ll probably know what we mean. check postindustrial for a killer slice of techno the likes of which robert hood could be making these days

the longawaited counterpart to the world famous: eve by day !! big with: anja schneider, adam beyer, joris voorn, steve bug, joel mull, dominik eulberg, james holden, laurent garnier, solomun, ripperton after admired releases on poker flat and of course connaisseur, things were a bit quiet around patrick chardronnet. these days are over now! patrick returns with a big bang offering this wonderful double a-side on connaisseur recordings and opens a new chapter of his delightfully, trippy & emotional adventures. enchanting, mesmeric and deeply touching, these two up-building tracks are reinforcing chardronnets hypnotic side once again. boggler is a simple and reduced spacer that features wonderfully processed drums and an endless arpeggio hypnosis. the track works highly effective only with a few elements until the beat comes back after a massive break. underlined with a strong sub-bassline, the whole track starts to fly away and is taking the whole dancing crowd with on its journey. eve by night – a counterpart to >eve by day<, patricks biggest hit so far, starts rather smoothly and upbuilding. then the track turns to a skipping, complex and meandering monster, which is jacked-up with some dirty hats and a playful synth theme. the theme deconstructs more and more and a logarithm assembles the parts of the theme to a new and unexpected melody experience. sophisticated !

biggest dancefloor smashers on break new soil so far!!! hammered by joris voorn, shinedoe, mathias kaden, karotte, nic fanciulli, anja schneider , 2000 and one and many many more

in the world of factory presets, default settings and copy-paste ethics, there are few artists that actually care to make a difference. and -who told you that?-, 29th release on warsaw recognition label, is certainly a voice to be heard. the title track is another subtle narrative from label boss jacek sienkiewicz. eerie chord and a solid, damp beat from the start are underpinned by sherds of dialogue - snippets of words and laughter keep coming back in the mix, providing some sort of uneasy commentary towards todays minimal house formula. but at some point the voices disappear - and then the tracks gently goes somewhere outside the boundaries of todays club music, somewhere otherworldly. this shift, albeit amazingly subtle, is a leap towards music free of any defined context, far beyond dancefloor and definitely original. if this sneak peak into the possible futures of manmachine induced visions is too much to handle, there is still the b-side of this release. two tracks here - both clocking around mere 5 minutes - are prime exercises in compact, clever, tight and efficient club tools. uplifting -cobalt drive- is bound to to be quoted and reworked into many forms of a late-night burner. patefon, on the other hand, is a peak-time stormer with its stuttering chords and moody samples, supposedly picked from some vintage shellac discs

fresh from our label compilation >so far (so good)<, we are proud to announce the follow-up to last years successful deliric ep on curle. three absolutely killer tracks by our argentinian friend jonas kopp (spectral sound, ostgut ton). pick your favourite!

perfect for the not-so-far-away summer sessions, its a lovely closing moment, affirming the message that langenbergæs house is open to everyone.
