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

inally, this club smasher from londons underground blog merchants venom and damage is due for release! having cut their teeth in londons gutter house bass movement with tracks like >love in the club<, >paradise slugs< and their >maximum carnage< mixtapes, venom and damage drop a new take on the uks house sound, in the form of >deeper<. its hard edged production, syncopated rhythms and anthem-like synths are recognisable from a mile off and are no doubt what has been causing such a stir in the clubs. if youve seen modeselektor any time in the past 12 months, chances are youve gone nuts to this track – so big, the guys included it as a focal point of their recent global live sets, and featured it on their resident advisor podcast. it has also and gained support from djs such as adam freeland, marcus nasty, martyn, brodinski, jackmaster, xxxy, julio bashmore and more. deeper becomes the first release on the ten thousand yen imprint, co-run by the uks rising star doc daneeka and its the man himself who delivers on remix duties, keeping the strong melodic feel, but giving it that more oppressive basement vibe.

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...

tracks by v.sexion, bodj, santorini and jobb ! the second va ep on the label is a special spring collection chosen out of the high ambitious percusa artist pool. helas and welcome to the first note on percusa from our greek friends v.sexion and bodj as also welcome to our friends and the well known italien artist santorini and a our man jobb from france. close your eyes and feel the spring in this warm and tight house collection

cave paintings is a new imprint dedicated to rough as you like machine music that lives somewhere in techno, house and ebm territory. all the tracks are done live in one take on old analogue boxes for a loose, organic and spontaneous feel that its impossible to capture when using computers. for the same kind of reason these are only available on 12. the mastering and the vinyl itself are an integral part of the sound. on this first release side x is a ten minute straight-up bass-heavy skeletal club groove with hints of a latin vibe about it and side y is more grinding and pounding in a nitzer ebb on quaaludes fashion, relentlessly developing for a full fourteen minutes

tres gueros are three white brooklynites led by the amorphous producer sleazy mcqueen. this collaboration as a whole has been a few years in the making with two vocalists, two guitar players and if that wasnt enough, he brought in beef wellington for some additional synthesizing work.

raw and soulful deephouse anthem with an outstanding mod.civil (ornaments) remix. around the brilliant voice of suzi q. smith, suedmilch builds up such a deep and flowing groove that you cant hide of it. feel the pure emotions of this track. brilliant work for the upcoming summer time and smooth open air celebrations. on the flipside the mysterious guys around mod.civil pitched down the vocal into a dark mood, which gives the original theme a whole different story - just a cosmic soul explosion - how true !

filth & splendour are cuasing a bit of a stir at the moment. with their >hot pick< release on cr2 & puerto banus ep, on berwick st, both released last month, kicking up a flurry of intrest in these guys.
next up from them is this techy little deep house number, a strong house vibe runs throughout, with cool melodic riffs and summer feel about it! on the remix is timo garcia - needing no introduction, you know what you are going to get from timo. a more sparse and techno influenced slice of heavenly house music.

habibi leads things off by conjuring some middle eastern vibes, including spoken samples of the tracks title and sitar loops.
in nightlcubs continues with a balkan vibe, featuring some upbeat horns that give the track a great bouncy feel and is reminiscent of smith n hacks remix for herbert. remixes come from exploited-chief shir khan and deadfishs finest camel.

tiefenschoen as an lp is a complete whirlwind having a raw and dirty feel to it, albeit without losing focus on the original and well-known jean f. cochois sound. this is an extremely strong club album with a powerful recognition value – not only musically, but also visually thanks to its album cover. it stands out as it has an overall concept and, throughout it, a sense of continuity from beginning to end.

after a couple of remixes made for the labels around 2002 losoul finally delivers his first single ep and we are very proud about it! those tracks feel like losoul really made one special for logistic! a sweet record greatly representing the music we have always loved to release. in between house and techno (losoul style… groove but freak!) this 2 tracks ep has a strong and particular energy perfectly designed for dance floors. a precise production work on both >dogma< and >calma< give cool sensation on large sound system. enjoy!

a lot has happened to blm since his last solo ep back in 2008, fatherhood being the main factor for his absence. thankfully the nappy changing musical magician didnt stop tinkering with his synths in that time has come back with a string of forthcoming productions that mark a real step up in quality for him. so, first up blm releases on home soil on his own fof label. garage is back keeps things silky smooth – simplicity is the key here, the percussive elements building slowly before the evocative vocal of suz brings a hypnotic sexyness to the whole affair. step to this is the logical progression from his last fof release (believe in love) with its skippy beats and uplifting stabs being a sure winner for the coming summer. mulletover promoter / dj / all around sexual dynamo geddes provides a rather splendid dub remix of garage is back on the flip. cleverly using key elements of the original to keep the flava but dipping the tempo to give it more of a groove based feel. we think its a high watermark for the man.. check it

for their 3rd release well rounded bring you the imaginative and playful funky-influenced house sound of hackman. this ep is packed with punchy & polished productions and adventurous arrangements. we have curated 3 tracks that we feel demonstrate the breadth and potential of this exciting young producer based in leeds, england. on the a bodies is an ecstatic piano-driven belter with immediate appeal. the 4/4 drums drive hard, funked up with supple bass flexations, then punctuated with classic chords and catchy vocal cut-ups. what sounds simple here is carefully considered. a brilliantly constructed, exciting and peak-time melodic banger! on the flip surround leads the listener into more tropical terrain

gui borrato / kid gloves / compuphonic remixes
launching into summer with the swirl of a bundle pakistani kites come two new 12” releases of arsenal - first up is estupendo, that sounds like a pastel tinted rival to mgmt’s electric feel.

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.

the italian dynamic duo is back on the trail with another set of soul house grooves. this time they teamed up with l.t. ‘,the voice’, brown and deliver with “,body music”, a homage to purple music. massive ‘,feel-good’,-music with l.t. in top form and a very funky beat and bassline. several mixes to choose from alfred azzetto, mark grant, davide fiorese & sisco. «body music» is a very good tune from a talented duo.

we kick the package off we have a remix from the mighty radio slave, and he certainly doesnt disappoint. with live keys from tom gandey of cagedbaby fame, he creates an awesome deep house rework, beautiful keys, rising synths and deep piano chords all make it feel like summer is already here.  jesse rose returns turns in a deep and dirty jackin house version, with bumpin bass, heavy swung drums and pitched down vocals, this is sure to tear after hours floors apart.  the rebirth of rising has started, and we cant wait to show what we have coming for you next

femme fatale with audiofly remix of the longest day following the success of layo & bushwackas last release the longest day comes femme fatale plus an additional remix of the longest day by audiofly, stripped back but beautiful and haunting. the a side, femme fatale with its winding hypnotic synth and deep pads harks back to the birth of house music whilst maintaining that up front feel, the track began as a play around with some well known 80s music but then developed into a track of its own.

the one-two kick drum beat that starts “in the dark of the night” functions as a bit of a tease. instead of merely establishing the languid pace of the track, it has the power of suggestion, and its stark nakedness raises the question of what will happen after the music fully launches. a few seconds later, a punch-drunk, flanging keyboard is the first clue that the listener is in for an off-kilter ride, the sauntering bassline that next appears adds a springy, funk bounce. but it’s the tripped-out, multi-tracked vocals of fernando miranda rios, aka michoacan, the producer behind this slow reveal, that give the song its peculiar, space-yvibe. it’s like david byrne with funk aspirations and a vaguely cosmic feel. the b-side remix, courtesy of italy’s clap rules, feels like more of a re-build. the song has been taken apart and put back together with brand new parts. instead of more relaxed, dazed funk at the core, it’s a glittery, disco-ball splattered track with glossy keys all around.

nice price deal !!! a rolling bassline kick that glides trough snapping and chopped up vocals makes this track a certain floor filler. and when half way trough you hear the latino guitar riff slice its way in, you can just wait until it hits off.giving the track power and funk! and incredibile mix of latino funk and straight on 4/ house. on b side you can find an eclectic remix of stoned chicken, who brings out a more samba feel also by dubbing down the guitar, a gradual build up track.

4 killer disco / boogie re edits from deadly sins aka a well known producer on limited edition see thru red 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.

new rules and regulations have been brought into effect to make us feel safer in this uncertain world.

second part, incl jay haze rmx! after releasing on labels like tuning spork ( as bunkers with signor andreoni), contexterrior ( with andrea ferlin) and on popof s form, alessio mereu returns with dissolved in the black on his new label amam . it includes 4 techno-techhouse tracks expressing a softer style in respect to his preceding productions without abandoning the techno groove enriched with vocals, real percussion and dark obscure synths. on top of it the release is made more precious by the remix of jay haze that presents a dark, slow, deep and intense track.

cityfox ltd is a sublabel of cityfox, based in zurich. the concept is to have no concept, just to release high quality music and to make you feel good. the orientation ep features 4 real different but well fitting tracks. they symbolize the various styles and directions the limited label could go in the future.

jay haze aka fuckponys superb ode to love in general and loved-up ravers in particular provides us with another sparkling gem: the second single from his current lp has the equally romantic and revealing title >i m burning inside<. it allows us to clearly feel that love-fuelled power, but never lets us get close enough to the fire to get seriously burned. jays sound is simply a tad too cool for that. despite all the emotional appeal, he always keeps a wink in store to save us right at the brink. the remixers reboot and paul ritch give far more obvious signals. both of them say loud and clear: dance!

just like a photographer who captures certain moments on film, marcus crowley and chris robin always seem to add that right kind of light to their tracks, make them feel like sweat and smoke and dirt or maybe, just a glimpse of wednesday afternoon. strich acht returns 2010 with a new fresh release. >senora fips< is a very minimalistic and dirty pumpin track with lazy female vocals that create a trippy feeling. leghaus remix on the flip is truly more pure & raw techno music straight to the dancefloor.

rick wilhite and his vibes new&rare music record store have been a main source in detroit for over 17 years. his store is the place to go for many detroiters looking for new soulful, electronic music. and as a dj and promoter rick has been holding it down for years. next to that he mostly known for his affiliation with three chairs (together with kenny dixon jr & theo parrish) and for his solo recordings, under his the godson pseudo. now its time for rick to get his peers and friends in the mix for his first compilation, aptly titled vibes new&rare music. the compilation is spread out over four 12inchess, which will be followed by a compilation cd with exclusive tracks and features only the best of chicago and detroit electronic music. all tracks are new and exclusive. 3 chairs affiliate marcellus pittman, known for his releases on sound signature and fxhe amongst others, kicks of this series with a lush track. its playful groove forces you to just play this over and over again! next up is chicago house legend glenn underground, creator of strictly jaz unit. on >ninja< he is definitely jazzing it out, showing the ninjas the way the holy land! with vincent halliburton its back to the d. vince has been around for a while, but only releases once in a while, on labels like ferris park and reggie dokes psychostasia. with >something i feel< he is sure to gain a bunch of new fans. a steady late night club banger that just goes on & on! heavy and essential first ep. are you ready for the next one?

played by: super flu, karotte, gregor tresher, stephan bodzin, sebastien leger, nick curly & oliver huntemann super strong new ideal !! winter, please, step away! ideal audio is ready to bypass spring and jump right into summer with a wonderful techhouse release from the glitz. >solar< is everything you would want and expect from the perfect summer dancefloor piece. no, no, do not underestimate it and think its easy. >sunstep< graces the a-side. it offers the perfect harmony between darkness and light. it is groovy with lots of energy while intertwined with a heavy bass-line. >feel high< deserves its name a hundred percent. the track develops gradually, leading you to a state of happy intoxication. you just want to grab your tap shoes and tiptoe to the melody. and, finally, >solar< which bears the name of the boys ep rounds up the package real nice, making it the absolute must for 2010. deep tech-house with a trippy melody will definitely do the trick in the early hours of any day, believe me.
