after a few releases on kompakt, sportclub and spielzeug it was time for axel bartsch to produce his first soloalbum. excellent danceable album

jesse siminski is one of those musicians its impossible to ignore. whether producing as heartthrob or alter-alter ego vivianne projects his work is instinctive, insightful and driven by an irresistible force that instantly rubs off on the audience. its no surprise then that the first single to be lifted from heartthrobs eagerly awaited debut album >dear painter, paint me< is >signs<, a track that fully demonstrates the extent of his repertoire. one of the highlights of his not-to-miss live set, its also become a corner stone of richie hawtins dj sets over the last few months due to the massive crowd response it generates whenever it drops. billed as homage to classic detroit techno, theres a real air of expectancy about the mix friendly introduction. the powerful kick pattern, swirling sci-fi vocal efx and loose hi hat groove soon make way for the urgent, cavorting main melody that spins off into another dimension before a massive, resonating synthetic bass wipes out everything in its path. one of the main ideas running through the album is the juxtaposition and layering of different rhythms and time signatures and this really comes across on signs, with disco and caribbean inflections adding a cut and thrust to the chugging groove, creating the perfect foil to the sonic mayhem overhead. the b-side features apprentice – a tag heartthrob can safely leave behind with the release of >dear painter, paint me<. of course its another guaranteed floor filler with a finely honed acidic riff that immediately taps into the subconscious...

poussez is the electronic bastard child of london based producer, dj duo jafar and maxime cescau. established artists and record label directors in their own right?.. jafar of course popping up on a few of our previous releases. poussez brings the pair blasting through to house musics cutting edge in the 21st century. the pair are continuing to change the deep house formula in the zeroes marrying a more melodic sensibility with the abrasiveness of electro, darkness of minimal and dancefloor punch of techno. natural conditions is deeper than the proverbial abyss, >natural conditions< rocks a skankin square-bass around the sort of synths freeranges >square one< has become renowned for. 4am crowd grabbing deepness!on the flip, from its opening synths, deliciously washing over you like an incoming electronic tidal wave, >tell me how you do< grabs the listeners attention. it has that timeless mid 90s deep house feel without being outmoded and, for those paying attention, will be noted as poussezs trademark opening track on their live sets

cane is the acid alter ego of don & roel funcken, aka funckarma, quench, automotive, dif:use and shadowhuntaz. having done several releases and remixes on resopal and warp records to name a few, these guys are steaming on - proving why once more with this massive release !!

for the new album, liars and prayers, thalia has expanded upon her touring band of the last few years of daniel coughlin (drums) and david curry (viola, trumpet) to fill out the sound with the bass and piano of winston braman (consonant, sherperdess, fuzzy) and mel lederman (victory at sea). liars and prayers is the masterwork of her thus far impressive career. her voice and songs have never been stronger and the full band and the recording by andrew schneider (unsane, cave in) allows her to combine the delicacy of the arrangements of her trio with the force that was her band come. the very moving body memory is a poignant example of this perfect synthesis.

monotonix are a punk trio from tel aviv. they formed in november 2005, set up on the floor of the club with the audience, and the party began. but the party usually got too wild, the power got cut, the cops were called and monotonix were banned from playing again almost everywhere. before long, they were looking for good places to play outside of israel - and they were delighted to find that there are more rock and roll party places outside of israel than inside! today, monotonix are the hardest working rock band in the world. sure, lots of other bands work up a sweat, but monontonix are definitely the only band who puts in the kind of miles they do, and they rock rings around pretty much the rest of us too. these guys do two different shows in two different towns on the same day whenever they can manage it. but thats only the tip of the hard working iceberg. body language sounds almost like a monotonix show. the only thing you cant hear is the sound of your heart beating in your ears after having been chased around the room by a vocalist with his pants literally on fire, then getting dousedwith beer and dancing your ass off to the guitar riffage, then ending it all by carrying the drummer around on your shoulders while a few other guys hold his kit up so he can keep drumming. you dont end up quite as out of breath when listening body language, but you do get a ton of excitement anyway, courtesy of a killer guitar sound, precision power drumming and lusty lead vocals. they recorded body language with tim green (of the fucking champs) at louder studios in san francisco. it twists and grooves with all the fun and fervor of great rock and roll.

for everyone who has liked playing around with made to play tracks over the past few years but possibly missed the limited edition vinyl now is your chance to get your hands on four of the most popular tracks. as a little teaser from the forthcoming >playing around< label compilation, here are some of made to plays top moments. this includes a remix of magik johnsons >scanning for viruses< by the jolly giant himself, claude vonstroke, >would it?< by trevor loveys and jesse rose under the guise of izit, the huge >block party< from buckley and >wake up< which was a landmark collaboration between jesse rose and made to plays rising star, oliver $. with the hype surrounding the first re-release of these tracks, the made to play world tour and the >playing around< compilation cd, this will be at the top of every proper house fans shopping list.

truffle music returns with andrew allsgood at the helm again. the up and coming producer and longtime toronto dj shows his promise once again with this slow grooving funk masterpiece that stretches over 7 minutes. the song travels through many sections and passes, carried the entire time by a driving dub bassline and vocal. for the lovers of deep, dubby and funky house and disco. nycs drrtyhaze (tirk, gomma) are commissioned on the remix and deliver the goods with an up tempo hypnotic stormer that sizzles with its surreal energy and simplicity. drrtyhaze use few elements from the original other than the vocal, taking it into deeper territory with a faster tempo and groove and much more electronic feel to the originals organic vibe.

that patterns is one of the number 1 techno labels is already a fact. with releases by borique tribez, elton d, eric sneo, carl falk and dejan milicevic to name only a few last year was definitely one of the best years for patterns so far. the number 42 welcomes an extra cheeky one.

back to back killer selection and re works from one of frances hypest dj of the moment. smart re edits of these two hard to find slices of funk wax. original pressings reach stupid prices on ebay like sites... smiling is a belgium disco funk that very few know about. original version going from time to time very cheesy, it really needed a re edit to reach a much deserved club exposure. jammaster is a pretty sought after chicago funk classic, but strangely enough it got a very particular new jersey feel to it, even recalling some early blaze tracks... played and playlisted with the likes of dj cam, inflagranti, orest, pilooski...

gusto is back with a storming freemasons remix of uk top 10 hit discos revenge! established house giants freemasons are one of the most in demand remix and production duos in dance music today. their current run of chart successes with major music artists (beyonce and kelly rowland to name but a few) speaks massively about the calibre of the gusto classic discos revenge.

streetwise was one of the seminal dance labels of the eighties, responsible, with its subsidiary imprint partytime, for several important and influential examples of the dance genre. several of its releases were indicative of the directions that both dance and r&b would take over the next few years. the signing of vocal group new edition and their resulting hit candy girl is generally acknowledged as the beginning of the boy band phenomenon, and the labels last hit, music is the answer, was also a key element in the rise of house music. the label lasted for only a few years before falling victim to its own success and the related success of its owners, especially revered producer and remixer, arthur baker. here is a selection of streetwises greatest 12inch mixes, gathered from the archives during streetwise reign over the dance market presented on this vinyl.

the chart buster martin solveig was glad when his roman friend and colleague lorenzo rumi called upon him to return to the roots of house music, starting from the early, glorious chicago scenario and its immediate and infectious groove. so far away came to life, as an impulse with only 2 days of hectic studio session and a few liters of coffee. the guys worked on a stricltly old school basis, then added a full vocal and new elements to bring the fine charme of todays house, turning so far away in a contemporary composition rich of surprises and thrilling breaks. the performance of australian soul singer rachel claudio gives a touch of attitude with passionates and unforgettable vocals. definitely another epic stone in the b2f wall!

patrick skoog has risen through the ranks over the last few years with massive success having produced killer releases for labels such as drumcode and we are over the last few years. he has established himself firmly on the scene now and this killer 3 tracker just goes to cement that reputaion further. enjoy!!

the first aroma release of the year is definitely worth the long wait. originally uk singer natalie williams released this song on her late 2006 album secret garden but wonder boy giom (london) who beefed up already swirl peoples last single a few months ago has now done his magic tricks again and housed up this song with grace. this is not your average deep house song but this how vocal deep house sounds anno 2008: clever beats, wiggly keys and a heavenly vocal by natalie to make this all to a perfect dance floor blend. and now you are ready for the spring with this new aroma release!

nicolas masseyeff is the latest member of the growing herzblut family. big honour. nicolas is new greenhorn to the techno scene, he has done quite a few releases under different akas … but as herzblut is all about personal style, honesty and dedication he uses his real name for this techno manifesto! huge sound-walls , kicking beats and insane efx make this dancefloor-euphoria- peaktime version of the thx dolby surround trademark sound… bringing the herzblut sound to the next level. stephan bodzin is a true innovator not only as a producer - also as an a&r. respect!

big with adam beyer, dubfire, len faki !! through his raudive alias oliver ho has caused a very serious stir over the last few months. he has released some seriosuly heavyweight material on labels such as music man, poker flat, klang, we are and podium as well as some killer remixes for the likes of figure and pocket . he really is one of the producers of the moment and this amazing 2 tracker for the leviathon that is drumcode will further cement that solid reputation.

this is a very cool meeting of minds here on this cool 12inch from adam beyers truesoul label. after nihads last release on tresoul he has receieved hi acclaim and this superb funky building club track simply rocks from start to finsh. joel has been on a superb steady rise over the last few months with releases on giant labels such as harthouse and cocoon. his track as always has an amazing twisted deep intensity.

cut the crap, straight to the essence. lizm04 is among us, essential dancing and listening courtesy of ahmet sisman, our own private istanbul/brussels/essen connection. some pure dancefloor pleasure hidden in a-side track hiyan, multilayered, quirky luvly trippiness: one surely aiming for the boxes of djs digging the onur ozer vibe of late. the other side (why call it a b-side anyway ?) goes for a slightly deeper approach, guzzling in the vibe of a few hours later down the line in your favourite afterparty .... but hey why not just use the authors own words to sum it all up : this is surely: >dance for the moment<

deadbeat aka scott monteith, who on this his latest outing for cynosure, offers up 3 stormers that once again prove he has more than a few tricks up his sleeve.

supported by john digweed, pawas, jeff samuel, adam kroll, dubnitzky, monoroom, h.o.s.h., mollono.bass, elektrodrei, jakob seidensticker&lexgold !! and again the ostwind-crew presents new artists on their limited series. on the a-side we have the up comming artists daniel solar (known from his excellent remix-work for marc depulse s “kein kind von traurigkeit” on ostwind013) with his production partner marc poppcke aka solar & poppcke. they deliver a stunnig melancholic journey between electrofied techhouse and neo-trance with some neo-pop influences. on the b-side we welcome roberto rodriguez, known from his projects “future beat investigators”, “bermuda” or “track n field” for labels like laka, raw fusion, sonar kollektiv, frisbee tracks and nine2five to name a few. he comes with a great soulful detroit influenced melodic techhouse biggie to save special moments on the dancefloor. all in all a very nice package with two sentimentally ear candys in a very high production quality !!

hyperdub kick off 2008 they way they intend to proceed, with new tracks from a new artist. on her debut release, ikonika comes with her own very unique, warped yet soulful bleep sound. with shape shifting beats that switch styles every few bars its hard to pin these two tracks down... cos if it was easy, it just wouldnt be hyperdub. both tunes are one minute minimal, one minute maximal, driven along by ikonikas special combination of wonky synth and deep swingin sub bass melodies that place them somewhere between an early, blocky grime instrumental and the sweeter side of detroit techno ? except with better bass of course! who needs a vocalist when your synth can sing like this? quite how kode9 manages to keep unveiling new producers of such abundant talent is a conun drum, but one to be cracked some other time when we?re not so busy keeping up with his astonishing labels ceaseless march into the future.

it seems the return of robert owens to house music centre stage is assured with the release of love someone. the >redo< has been making waves over the summer months in the sets of the few djs that got hold of a copy. it has featured on both gilles petersons and pete tongs radio shows on bbc radio 1, and the calls keep coming as everyone wants to get their mitts on this moroder meets carl craig monster of a mix
