a message from claude vonstroke: >sascha braemer has got the funk! i first heard him on the amazing thrill on kindisch which i charted in my top 3 tracks of 2008. after that i heard the even more amazing heinrichs and hirtenfeller album dark orbit, (my favorite album of 2009) on highgrade. i usually like to break new dirtybird artists but this time i had to go find this guy and beg him to make us something. sascha has got that tech-funk, caveman quality that is so elusive and hard for me to find as an a&r. and on this record you will hear why i went and found him. this is an absolute beast! both tracks are tried and tested club killers. truthfully, i cannot think of a better dance-floor record on dirtybird this year<

whenever you talk about polish electronic dance music, then there is no way around jacek sienkiewicz. we have to admit, we are pretty proud to have him on board for our next release on numbolic unlimited!

to kick-start the fina campaign we literally hunted high and low to find an artist and sound that we felt would represent us and give a statement of intent. what we didnt expect was for this search to take us south of the equator and into to the deep southern hemisphere. this is not the first place that you would expect to hear warm, deep underground house but this is exactly what you get with the melbourne based mic newman. and thinking about it, it doesnt get warmer or deeper than melbourne does it? mic is a young producer who we believe is destined for greatness. at the age of 29, hes already had a string of underground smashes on labels such as murmur, tsuba, dirt crew, freerange, and now for fina records. the intriguingly named live east, die young ep (mic riffing on his time spent living in london) sees what mic doing what he does best and demonstrates why his future is so bright. on die young, the tougher a-side, mic keeps the beats solid, and the groove tight and hypnotic, while the smooth chord stabs get right under your skin. prolonged foot tapping ensues. on the flip side, live east, mic takes it a little deeper with ever so subtle disco touches. the vocal sample asks what your name is and to take off your jacket as if to welcome you to a very messy after hours on this mcde-esque low-slung house groove. on remix duty, the on-form jacques renault and marcos cabral aka runaway, lift the track out of the south hemisphere and take it in a north easterly direction all the way to the caribbean – adding plenty of steel drums and pads on their interpretation of live east

following up his successful foray of sampling on otp party breaks, andy ash finds himself diving head first into the darker outer limits of big room dance music. >another world< nods its head to technos yesteryear, more specifically detroit. imagine a slower version of the motor citys soulful chord pulsing sound and youll find yourself in the right ballpark. add to this andys finishing jacking touch and the result is golden. this time around otps remix work finds italian man of the hour nicholas, from no more hits (label) fame and otps very own marcos cabral

label owner, ryuji takeuchi, teamed up with germanys all time favorite, lars klein, to drop this final weapon to the dance floor all over the world. their successful trustworthy men series on a legendary lk recordings has always been in demand and this 4 tracker ep wont be just another piece of the series, but with new idea an approach, it wont disappoint any techno heads. on the a side, youll find 2 modern proper techno tunes by ryuji takeuchi, that involve his unique driving and hypnotic components with angry style breaks. on the b side, lars klein provided 2 great dark modern techno tracks, which come with driving and atmospheric elements. make sure to get it in hands and witness the birth of the new imprint.

three artists contribute to this exciting new splitsound! the veteran tony matt (also known as gummish) producer for over 15 years delivers two tracks full of groove: >alcatraz< and >chrome<. on this last one puts the hands the german martin woerner that creates a remix for cool dancefloors. on the b side instead find the young monque, that offers its own hit (been played last year by ellen allien, richie hawtin, rino cerrone, carola pisaturo, seth troxler, xpansul) in 2010 version.

the 27th release on rotary cocktail rec. sees contributions from leipzig and dresden. the original >somebody to love< from mod.civil kicks things off, proper rough and intense jacking house that is completed by the heavy heavy analogue bassdrum and his crazy voice. on side b you will find an excellent raw retro chicago house remix by jacob korn

we dont need to tell you that rolando is a figure synonymous with the roots of techno. regularly djing in berghain, his unique brand of techno and heavy electronic funk has continued to evolve naturally into the sound youll here today. on rolandos first 12inch for ostgut, we find two diverse tracks each shedding light on the different poles of his current sonic focus. ben klock featured both >de cago< and >junie< on his >berghain 04< mix, and now we can enjoy the full tracks in their own right. the proud heritage of >de cago< is clear from the outset, yet rolando works crisp modern drums and edgy acidic synths into the mix, resulting in a potent concoction of jacking, edgy technofunk. unapologetically raw and gritty - and all the better for it - is >junie<. introducing a different production methodology, this multi-layered half-tempo exploration into eerie harmonics and slow building passages is the latest incarnation of rolandos emotional and instinctive melody writing

if you are looking for something that is bite sized, but with huge flavor, then you best try out our >bite sized beats vol. 2<. i m sure you will find that it is extremely satisfying and many levels. there are many more of this series to come, so keep some room in the fridge for some of this future fried funk.

top release !! raw analog beauty !! after some great releases on pastamusik we welcome the analog roland orchestra to the polymorph family. you will find some raw analog detroit techno with the dark atmosphere of the legendary roland classics. the original works in favour of a long evolving wave of sound with a broad spectrum of powerfull techno. on the flipside the reshape mix of >timespaceroom< is much more on the tougher side of things with bold basslines, spooky voices and tough chords. amazing quality in sound and recording makes this a pleasure to listen to. special colored vinyl

i dont think i know, or heard of, anyone who share the same obsession in searching obscure disco records like kool dj dust (real name daniel savio). call him at any given time and he is in some flee market or second hand shop on the look-out for records. he even got an apartment just for his collection.
we talked about the idea of re-releasing >un-googable< music, old stuff that is not only very hard to find, but also so good that re-issueing it is an actual cultural necessity. dust tossed around with a few ideas and finally these three songs made the cut. we are very happy with them!
we hope you are too. we are also happy that we have the support on this release from so many djs. some of them being rune lindbaek, in flagranti, tim sweeney, horse meat disco, 6th borough project, parlour, dj rocca, bonar bradberry, parlour, hugo capablanca, cousin cole et al.

originally released on chain reaction in 1996, pelons >no stunts< harks back to a time when the nowadays so gladly used and over-used term >dub techno< was still waiting to be found. but thats secondary. the main thing is: >no stunts< is here again. with addictive, heavily-transformed and echoed synth sounds connected to a strong and pulsating bass line, it is exactly that type of no-frills techno you just cannot stop listening to. now restored and remastered, the a-side contains an edit taken from the 1998 chain reaction cd >various: compiled…< - previously unavailable on vinyl. as if this wouldnt be enough advocacy for vinyl as the agent of choice, the flipside holds 30 locked grooves extracted from the original recording session of no stunts that you wont necessarily find in the track itself and most definitely not as downloads. especially enjoyable with two copies. the effects can last forever

nice price deal !!! after more than one year slash co-owner ahmet sisman is back with his brand new solo ep! the playing with acid ep is an unapologetic combination of raw-deep techno and electro-pop influenced house music. and as we know it already from mr. sisman, he loves to combine different genres and create his own distinctive flavor! the a-side playing with acid is a pure synthie-baseline dominated track whose melody is drilling through your head that you won’t forget it so easily. this trapping hook line is coming along with some poppy vocals which are giving you a slight association how is it feeling being totally vaporized in the mind. we say, be careful when you playing with acid!!! feel today think tomorrow has a different approach while the ingredients remain the same. it’s the more melancholic side of this record but also filled with pure energy. the guitar phrases creating those feelings between the struggle and harmony in life, and like the title indicates: live today, pay tomorrow! no return no regret is the more poppy side of this record. the b2-side is a mixture of modern elements bonded with the refreshing vibe of the contemporary 80s influence. this fusion is a naive approach of pooling different styles in one track with the intention to create something timeless. even its poppy elements doesn’t seem to allow it we going to love it for a long time and we hope you will feel the same! this three-tracker ep contains the well known “mr. sisman-ingredients”. although the difference to his previous productions laying in its details. find it out for yourself and above all: enjoy it!!!

when we released aardvarcks nosestep as part of his well well well ep in the summer of 2007 it cause quite a stir in the then formative dubstep scene, almost anybody played that track. now we re-release it with a new version by cosmin trg, who transformed it into a strong acidic stepper, 2010 style. on the b-side we find an unreleased nubian mindz remix from aardvarcks spoken release from 2001. we didnt release it at the time, but with the whole new future house movement coming strong, the timing couldnt be more perfect

for this tune hem and terrible shock take apart an 80s soul lp, add some sci-fi synths, lazy drums and a sprinkling of analogue fx. after many painstaking hours of recording the duo take a well earned coffee break, then return to the studio just in time to see the back of the light-footed blunted robots man shortstuff as he runs off chuckling >your vocals are mine now!<. revenge plans are made, vehicles are fuelled up in preparation ? but these activities are cut short by the arrival of an email from the culprit ? it seems that he took the files back to his hq for what he describes as a refix ? with the engines still running, hem and shox check out the file and find it to be a work of genius ? what they hear is an accelerated kaleidoscopic fusion of on-beat claps and snares in a peak-time northern soul style, super heavy subbass hits and hectic syncopated keyboard chops.

nice price deal !!! for their fifth release todd bodine (highgrade, treibstoff, mothership) joined the cologne based label klangfarbe schallplatten and created a high-quality ep, which is hard to find today. duplexer (a1) initially allocates with bongos in space, to furthermore stabilize itself with more bass, percussion and volume, which leads into a durable, massive flow that s willing to persist bigger club duties as well. alpha (b2) is structurized akin to duplexer, but celebrates the true force, the true might of minimal by the use of consistently repetition of beat- and sound patterns as also psychedelic acid-parts in good, old plastikman tradition. morning breeze on b2 finally starts warmer and more housy, in a deep and easy lean-back manner, to distinctly cool down after a while and to approach the previous tracks. after all, the from nowhere to somewhere ep constitutes an extremely coherent ep, where it s obvious, that all three tracks mate together - as they are

everything from a small room. a few friends joke and start to record something.. something strange, indecipherable, or maybe just their souls. a voice begins to sound diffuse, catchy, distorted, hot. what happened to them on in that room don t know, but it was enough to convince us that this was a true story, unique ,inimitable. hooved was amused to construct a simple, yet many artists have come out of my mind, since the scsi-9: anton e maxim have made a pop song like this phoebe, that seems to be everywhere, but didn t think hitherto.. barrytone, new project of korablove, we delight rolled, cuts batteries and more pressing reason, unlikely to fade in your shelves. echonomist in greece seems to fall after many years in his bedroom, and start playing with the same old things, but with the eyes of this. finally tuccillo helps us find a very specific connotation, destination, disco. vinyl seems to sail on his last tour, but in the digital ve rsion will still expect the memories: l original track of hooved, version reinterpreted version of the cool voice hvoya, and the last train, the remix of dualism. a man and a woman summed up in just under 13 minutes all monsters and insecurities, words and glances, the soul of a gesture that turns into projects, loop, hours, bpm, second. apparel is pleased to present phoebe ep.

tiefschwarz and souvenir records proudly present: tiefschwarz >melted chocolate 1<. no summer break for tiefschwarz!

who wouldnt want to be kept by a beautiful rich woman? no matter how you look at it, its not the worst way to make a living. in 1982 the german new wave quartet ideal even wrote a song about it. >schoene frau mit geld< is thestory of a young man without any other drive or desire in life than to find such a woman and turn this state of utopia into reality. tough goal! twenty-eight years later, one of germanys finest and merited producers decided to do afresh interpretation of the song. sir losoul of playhouse fame presents two mixes (a dub for the faint of heart) that hone the hook and tag line of the original for maximum dance floor and repeated listening pleasure. and that, ladiesand gentlemen, is sometimes really the only thing you need in the world…

baseball and summertime. peanut butter and jelly. ross and rachel. these are all pairs of things that truly belong together. and finally, after years of waiting, legendary detroit hip hop producer nick speed has joined forces with the infamous techno collective, underground resistance, to release a vinyl titled >speed of sound.
