gabriel ananda was captivated by the sound of classical music by the early age of 8. he was encouraged by his family to practice the cello, but it was through playing the guitar that fueled his motivation to continue to learn about music. the guitar became a useful tool to express his creativity, but gabriel was not finished searching for his musical direction. in 1995 that changed. a dj set by sven väth was the pivotal moment that ended gabriels search to find his passion and two years later, the new producer celebrated his first release for the german label hörspielmusik. he went on to release singles on treibstoff, trapez, platzhirsch, and karmarouge before producing what was for him, a life changing track

dollys first release in 2012 and immediately setting a high standard for the year to come! this time aroy dee under his mos disguise is delivering the deepness, and this one could be very well one of his strongest releases to date. present as usual are his trademark vintage synths & drums, but this goes beyond the average retro chicago stuff. skillfull on the machines while its very clear the music comes from deep within. marcel fengler on remix duty adds a little techno punch, which perfectly tops of this very fine release.

the slat blinds in berlins panorama bar are part of the vjs equipment, and when the mood is right (usually around sunday afternoon),he opens them up to allow slices of sunshine to penetrate the smoky club air.it doesnt happen all too often,remaining something special amongst hours of darkness.but as ruede played the first version of shades in his last p-bar set, it seemed to happen just for him, as if he had written this tracks distinct break especially for this moment:everyone was mesmerized. re.you & rampa with a rmx for shades are also no strangers to such euphoria, and as ruede recently lent them his voice,they return the favor by building a robust, custom-made bass mobile for the a2.then, on the b-side, ruedes fellow band members from the noblettes make an appearance.as with shades,the focal point is also the big break,only this one has nothing to do with techno - its more of an indie-house ballad with dance ambition.

striking out in june 2011 with his debut ep >in your gut like a knife< - a neat summary of his electronic excursions at that point - the beautifully artworked 12 inch acted as a portal into a world of daydreams, tumbling into shadows and embracing luminescence simultaneously. breeding surreal headphone-friendly landscapes, he struck a peculiar and delicate balance between otherworldly and familiarity, at times sneaking a sly glance towards the dancefloor but mostly conjuring a sense of longing and rye melancholy. ticking with a distinctive bounce and rhythm, it comes as no surprise that gang colours was raised on the bump and grind of uk garage. taking a step back from chopped n screwed rnb vocals and the swing of ukg, >the keychain collection< explores more sombre recesses within gang colours palette. the scattered technicolor synth melodies that characterised his ep are present, but softer, cosier even, weaving betwixt and between forthright piano chords and wills own vocals. >the keychain collection< eloquently captures gang colours first steps on a long road.

repress from one tune that was one the elegal electronics compilation, called efikass. burnfloor was on the gazole cd compilation and is pressed on vinyl for the first time. at least extasy problem is a new tune, very strong one.

the second edition of the mosso series adheres to its archetypal plan, as alejandro mosso leads us forwards on his musical trek and through the grooves carved onto this record. for this new number, alejandro mosso decided to delve back into his archives and take a closer listen to some forgotten, unfinished pieces. some listeners will surely recognise certain bits of this record as they were part of mossos live performance years ago. this is however the first time they will be edited and see the light of day. on the a-side, aconcagua is a festive theme on which a magnetic marimba riff turns into an escalating melody, surrounded by a forest of ascending percussions - characteristic of mossos production – lightly floating around it. cashmere, the flip, was conceived while airborne on a flying carpet, half way above the indian subcontinent and below the countles gleaming stars. perfect instance of alejandro mossos talent, it is a subtle blend of hovering winds and crystallized textures. the bansuri flute and the clave go hand in hand to form reassuring horizons, the soundtrack for a longer moment of hope, greater perspective and spiritual transformation.

first available only on decks.de !!
der turnbeutel delivers its second release this year, as the protagonist of this release does. this time the turnbeutel will be filled by no less than one of germanys most famous djs: alle farben. having played almost every stage in germany he feels that 2012 has to bring some own stuff, too. the two tracks >roundabout< and >blue jester< feature his typical approach to music and will definitely delight every jester on the dancefloor, whether its round or round about quadrat. to complete the 4 track ep, our oliver schories put his >alle schwofen< (everybodys dancin) remix of >roundabout< on the vinyl and till krüger of (200 records) contributes a >alle ausziehen< (everbody strip to the buff!) remix of blue jester.

really exited about this one, ana helder from argentina (comene) delivered here an nice and freaky oldschool mid tempo track,so nice.the first remix is by astro labs home cat timothy j fairplay, something between carpenter and andrew weatherall.then on the b side ivan smagghes remix is just amazing with some old synth and techno atmosphere. last one is frank west,our second collaboration,he turns the song into a solid booty dub song.

after his sublime remix for hitsafes >let the acid out< on shaddocks first release, tin man makes a deadly return to shaddock records, delivering his most dancefloor oriented record to date. opening track >t_dd_t_rr_y< sees kicking beats with a genealogy harking back to finest chicago house, yet done with contagious feather-light energy of uk funky and a naughty bassline gliding perfectly between cheeky rave chords and their moody older brother. >s_mple_house< continues with this blindingly effective simplicity, dreamily muted chord stabs, rolling congas in ecstatic space over a warm round bass. on the flip on >aut_repeat<, crystalline synth shards coalesce in complex forms and continue in icey determination as the beat sneaks up underneath, propelling into an absolutely blistering workout. >djsn_k< rounds up on a perky high, an ebullient synthline with crunch and a punchy beat so frontal it might make you blush. rave bones akimbo – tin man steals the pure dance!

this is the first vinyl release for standard fair. its excellent tech house! and its deep, at the same time!
standard fair was born in 1980 in sapporo, japan, and played the bass in a punk band until he was 20. he is very influenced by various genres of music but now he produces sophisticated deep house. after some excellent releases on resopal and little helpers he returns on joyfull with some great dance tracks.
ep includes 2 remixes produced by someone else (the philadelphia based dj and producer, co-founder of the tuning spork and fuzzy box record labels and owner of little helpers) and aldo cadiz (one of the leading producers of electronic underground in chile and one of the most respected djs in south america).

repress 2015 ! umami who claim to make songs not tracks come up with their first solo ep. after collaborations with aka aka and niconé and their latest remix on shaker plates they hoist sails and push their style one stop forward with >conquer the night< on a1. thats >all what you get< (a2) from umami: driving, funny but still eclectic tech house in a fresh sounding garment. the ageless synth line of >sunshine and godzilla< (b1) will drive the crowd crazy for sure and with >kukukuku< on b2 they proove that finnish lullabies also work on the dance floor. this surely tastes a lot like umami

long waited 4th ep from japanese deep house force pan records is here. unlike precious releases, this is volume 1 of its various artist sampler series. all 3 of them are scheduled to be released in 2012. first track to open the series is >flash back< by sai. this japanese producer has been favored and debuted from morris audio in 2010. the track has dreamy and floating feel to start off with, later it gets more grove going with subtle vocal goes behind. stays musical yet feels minimal, a2 also kept the vibe from a1 and makes you stay in the dreamland. it is by only the non-japanese artist on this wax, dennis uprock aka resoe from denmark. he is the owner of baum records and one half of the duo >pattern repeat< and this rather timeless track exactly demonstrated his years of experience in producing. >future progress<, is true and honest to its name. dj pi-ge is one of the owner of the label along side of ryo murakami and sisi. he provides a track with punchy synth and revered black man’s vocal. notably slow teasing build up from the beginning till the end, this is an interesting addition to the ep. attention grabbing. last of all, >rising moon< is by tokyo based artist naoki shinohara, previously released from xdbs metrolux music. this track can be described by strong hart beat like hi hats and soul filling melody. its a perfect closer to this quality deep house ep from the land of rising sun.

sometimes things turn out different than planned. that also applies for remixes one does for other labels: >the lost remixes< features two personal favourite remixes by sascha dive, now seeing a release on vinly for the first time. side a offers a gentle & laid-back remix for neggheads >being< that warms-up every dance-floor just like a sweet summer breeze. sascha dives remix for the basil classic >time to be free (free world)< on side b is a lot more four to the floor and with its almost epic groove yet proven another track that you’ll hear in clubs at any time of the night. listen up!

never ones to stand still dons rainbow marks a quantum leap for seahawks, the first release on new label ocean moon and the first recording from the invisible sunrise sessions. invisible sunrise is the forthcoming album from seahawks and the first to be recorded with live musicians rather than a hard drive full of dusty old samples. the results are stunningly original, not least on this track with new york head autre ne veut. anvs debut album last year on olde english spelling bee was an incredible rush of warped r&b, 80s synths, amazing songs and what has to be one of the most innovative voices to emerge in the last 5 years. since then hes released a great ep on hippos in tanks, played some mind bending live shows and guested on the ford & lopatin album. dons rainbow sounds like michael mcdonalds sweet freedom crossed with nite flight era walker brothers. a fantastic piece of hazy avant pop with jan hammer pulse wave synths, yah mo b there drums and fuzz drenched spirals of soprano sax and guitar colliding with the sound of soul from outer space. on the flip the dub takes the track into a world of shadows, where smeared washes of sound swim in an ocean of decay. as always with seahawks releases the packaging is beautiful. heavyweight vinyl in a full colour sleeve, with full colour labels. the last seahawks release sold out in days, we expect this one to do the same, so get your skates on!

this release is first new mule musiq. catalogue number was jumped up to 147 ... barnt is cologne based producer which is known as a member of magazine (artist&label). we really loved barnt 12 inch and magazine stuff on their label and very happy new barnt 12 inch is released on mule musiq. original on a side is like a dark house remix of goblin (italian progressive rock band). if you like dubby techno sound like echospace or redshape, you will into this track very easily. on b side, one of the best artist at the moment vakula made warm deep house remix. its not necessary bla bla ... about vakula sound. ambient version is lovely bonus track.
