remix by max b. grant. vs. djanny finally a release of dj dready2? and you want to have this one!! this ep is a hands-up for every crowd

again the tracks were selected carefully, each of them strong on personality and waiting to burst out and put the willies up anyone who believes that techno can be pigeonholed. cue bjorn svin (of mand over board fame) and a brooding monster of a tune that briefly saw a release on his excellent 1999 lp benene pa nakken and was included on the la monde (aka len fakis) at the wheels of steel mix cd the following year. believe that this track is a killer one of those inspired pieces of techno that sticks in your head for days after hearing it for the first time next up label boss jerome hill lets his bass out in the comedic rel und pol, a dancefloor workout with a syncopated speech running throughout. flip over for rob stow and im going to kill her put simply this is nasty (in a nice way) a riff that tears you a new one and edits and tricks galore, this ones gonna give the speakers a battering! last but certainly not least, switzerlands ki yota from mercurochrome and mental industries steps up to deliver us an apocalyptic anthem with wowwow bass, that swiss percussion and lead riffs all snaking around, finally building to a satisfying climax over and out

already in the box of ripperton, loco dice, james what, solumun, someone else, pheek, mark august.. with >the games e.p.< daniela stickroth finally delivers a fantastic follow up to >stories from the attic< ... the approach found on the attic, gets its logical continuation on the games ep, which leads us from up under the roof straight down into the brush of a mysterious forest, with moonlit clearings, trails and sweeping turns

dj support from ricardo villalobos, tobi neumann (cocoon), raresh (rpr sound-system), locodice , luciano, onur ozer & rob mello, luke solomon, geddes, matt tolfrey... la raza starts with deep tribal rhythms and a discrete baseline, as the track builds, weaving in synthetic indian calls which finally breakout and turn this into a peak-time monster. on the flip, dinky takes a rare remix excursion, creating a deep psychedelic version of the original. her trademark groove wraps itself around you drawing you in further and further stripping everything away into a hedonistic peak, then finally dinky releases you from the spell & back into the rhythms…. already receiving great reaction and picked by onur ozur for his next cd compilation, this will be the start of horizontals sound summer 2008

one sided killer application!! some tracks are so weird, that they can neither be fit into a regular release schedule, nor an appropriate b-side be found. for these black sheep we have decided to create a small niche on connaisseur supérieur. the cnss black edition will sporadically present tracks that are way out of our usual categories… with >numb<, daso finally opens his >panteras< box and again proves his ability to rock reeeally hard. the track actually consists of two seperate tracks whose combination has proven itself during several of dasos live performances. it is the transition between the two tracks that makes the crowd go mad. the clonky intro (already published on ware records as mud max - zampone (maderfotor rmx)) morphs into a giant breakdown with perhaps familiar sounding spoken words before it suddenly reincarnates as a ravey monster from hell! numb shouldnt be taken too seriously and is definitely not for all occasions, but dropped at the right moment, this atom-bomb will cause serve damage on dance- floor-gro

hot package from madrid resident dj bee, limited copies which includes remix by abel ramos & matt correa, mastercris, gilbert le funk and dj bee. abel and matt follow up their fantastic remix for brian cross paradise on juicy music with another vocal workout for the dancefloors. keeping the electro minimal feel from monimonster on doorn with a great soulful vocal hook. mastercris takes us on the retro tip with some huge piano lines that will surprise many. gilbert le funk follows up his remixes for dj disciple, work it out and la girls with a great master at work influenced remix for bee, and finally dj bee who got this fantastic package together takes down a soulful root for the heads.

for our eleventh release we have no other than esperanza s own jorge savoretti. after making some collabs for the label, he s finally delivering his expected solo ep. for this one, he mixed a wide variety of soundscapes and influences with precise coherence developing his trademark forward thinking sound even further. there are lots of words used to describe tracks but for this baby is really hard to find ones ccurate enough, maybe some hints would be, futuristic, intricate, martian, tribal

played by: akufen, laurent garnier, pheek, electric indigo ,… trimsound return from a winter hibernation with a fresh release for you this spring - this time our special guest is canadian whizzkid frivolous (~scape / background / karloff / epsilonlab) providing us with a quality blend of quirky electro-tinged micro-house with a brilliant dancefloor vibe. next up leifs infectious warm dubbytech-house track brings things a little bit deeper - in line with his latest release on fear of flying records. on the flipside, tom ellis jacked-up funk sound absolutely rocks it - tom is on fire at the moment with releases lined up on minibar, musique risquee and hartchef amongst others. finally, joe ellis tops off this awesome ep with a deep jazzy chord-driven groover akin to his productions on new netlabel paperscissorstone.

customer services embraces a variety of styles. the title track is pure chunky tech funk, kindling provides us with some dry melodic crispy microhouse. pheek throws in a beautiful extra phat techy remix of custoner services and finally mining for opal explores leifs deep dubby style, in a similar vein to his previous outgoings on textone and archipel

full support by angel molina, dub kult, mathias schaffhäuser, jeff bennet, xpansul, oscar, remute. after releases on the own label, now the first excursion to the well-observed european realms follows on karloff rekordings. analog beats, bleeps and white noise - in sunny california these popular ingredients of minimal techno get brewed together with surprising facility, to a fresh, jacking a-side track with a sturdily nodding groove. on top of that, >azizam< doesn’t lack a clearly distinguished climax - for the good of the dancefloor! on the b-side >off my mind< first appears organicly floating within a warm and fuzzy scent of detroit, before >backwards on pony< finally unwraps classic sawtooth sequencer techno, however properly purged und worked up percussively, to a seething cauldron that you simply have to like!

the eagerly awaited new single from camdens finest captain black is finally here. arriving on hot new label bumpman (the hawley arms pub s label off-shoot), home also to fellow north london outfit the brute chorus, >>sister<< is sure to further cement captain blacks reputation at the front of londons burgeoning indie-folk scene. live sessions on life fm and a number 1 indie single in japan seems to indicate that britain might not be able to keep them secret for much longer.

last summer, the berlin-based producer and well-known remixer chris zippel (who already worked with the pet shop boys, robbie williams or ich & ich) already celebrated his very personal interpretation of modern and complex ambient between zwischen triphop beats and melancholic pop references by his genuine horizon album. with this ep, chillout producer zippel has chosen a way quite unusual for him by taking four tracks of the album, making them compatible for the dancefloor with a number of co-producers and proving that dub is still up-to-date in 2008. the ep starts with an interpretaton of electronic spain recordings producer mangelt: again, a straightforward energy flash between reminiscence and modern club sound, takes on the powerful post acid minimalhouse sound a la steve bug. the dane mike salta turns mirror dawn into deep techhouse dub, and also the schwerin-based downtempo producer andre muelle alias vakuum sounds shows that he is influenced by a timelessly valid unterstanding of dub and fragmented s mples by his version of glacier. finally, the tribal progressive house dub of blade remixed by kling klong impresario namito (berlin), undoubtedly the most famous remixer on this ep, goes right into your hips

supported by raresh, gregor tresher, meat , dorian paic, reboot, pascal feos, matt star, domenic d agnelli, marc miroir. fresh fried finally come up with their debut album the menue. the young project consisting of the producers chris wood, nedzad berovic and frank leicher already took the dj playlists of named tech house djs by storm – not only in germany and central europe-wide, but also in the states, russia and even japan.

the album title track >my manifest< shows, that marco stays true to his love for house chords. old school riffs meet energy loaded beats and his dark self-spoken manifest and reveal a new, more technoid face of marc o tool. >the grail< however shows, that he also still knows how to embed harmonies in a club outfit. driving rhythms reminding of the old o tool days, get alternated by an emotional piano breakdown, to finally find their way back into the floating monotony

andrés first release for simple records >wanna feel< is all about the resonant, hypnotic bassline that steadily opens out to reveal more layers of harmony. little sounds and licks of melody dance around the bass whilst strings and stabs build the hook into one big crescendo. brooks melancholic strings, cleverly cut up the bassline and an eerie soundscape pushes the vibe of the original into a darker more sinister techno place….this is the lights out, heads down, touch me in the dark kind of groove that we love! finally >move< is an absorbing and patient deep house gem. plunging into a backdrop of prodded keys that subtly shift in shape and tone, a central synth melody climbs to euphoric climax before retiring back to waves of throbbing bass and rolling percussive loops

finally-the follow up from the freakside !! minimalistic experimental & exploding acid house trax

mark e now returns to running back for another ep of original productions. and what a return it is! staying in his lovely kind of irresistible grooves between low slung bass and rattling snares, mark delivers three tracks of pure dance floor bliss. first off, we have slave 1 with its burning slow motion build up and a hookline that will not leave your head for at least a week. the flip of the medal, sees pulse friction giving off a warm synthesizer shower for what seems like an hour. finally, the incredibly bouncy human tightens the thumbscrew and should even make the ruffy and tuffy minded happy. our dear friends dixon from shocking innervisions and gilb r from rocking versatile are already in love with it, so please do not even try to resist. e is for ecstasy!

phonogenics >postcard< is slow burner, building and rising to a eventual climax of melancholic underwater deepness. this song will no doubt be played by those in the later time slots and anyone who wants to add a little journey to their mixes. our main man dex aka dave barker is back with another slice of some quality melodic quirky goodness. >yikes!< has a very chopped up funk/soul feel mixed with solid house beats. studio trickery and a hidden japanese opera helps the track evolve from its soulful beginning to another world entirely. finally, we are very pleased to bring you the first of many musical efforts from amantu wilde. not much is known about amantu as he is a bit of a recluse and does not offer up much information about himself. >g-g-got my eyes on you< is a very retro sounding track reminiscent of some classic new wave jams. pseudo industrial percussion and excellent filter work make this track something to remember. something strange for sure but we think people will like the break from the mod rn sounds

mo rotation is the next step in the history of westpark units 80s funk influences they started with blaxrotation and fits well within the sound of today! always sexy, dope, deep & dubby. proper thang is as deep as jeep and builds up in the typical westpark unit style with some demanding but tricky drumpatterns and a wicked bassline. to surprise, the duo added some old school snippets into the drop, put them into a different context and present a jewel of a bangin deep house tune with one of the most enthusiastic moments when the beats come back in. mo rotation sets up with just some shakers, a demanding percussion loop, a booming bass and needs almost 5 minutes to get things started. when the bassdrum finally drops in, the club is already near ecstasy while the music takes a small step from 1983 to 2008 and a deep masterpiece

another piece of classic music from john beltran. nolita and sunburn are both stunning tracks from one of his first records. finally available again

ferrer and sydenham having been knocking out some superb stuff on the ibadan label recently, and sandcastles doesnt break the streak, with its sublime piano line coming into its own late in the mix after a lengthy lead in of subtle percussion, throbbing kickdrum and stellar synth play. a warm and lush track, the cut builds through the beats, to the piano line and finally to vocal refrain and a wall of synth strings that round this track off perfectly.

deep, deeper, peter grummich! this man is on a roll right now, and with every new release you have to ask yourself where this is all going to lead to? however with the >garden ep< he now already delivers the perfect soundtrack for weeding the beds and waterblasting the terrace - and for partying hard, of course. >beachtrak< prefers its quintessential sub-harmonics to just playing it safe with an upfront bassdrum, and finally channels its way in a wide arc up to the next level. a hit also for friends of water gardens. on the b-side grummich enlarges his melodic skills with a sweet flowery scent of detroit on the track >garden<, and >its to share<, which evolves into a great anthem with just an assumed number of 3 sounds and a couple of snotty claps
