sehou provides a prime piece of forward-looking nostalgia for metrolines latest release - the cirkus ep. up and coming talented producer from the south of italy, sehou was the man behind the massive track -she makes me wanna dance- released on all inn limited thats been hammered by ricardo villalobos in pretty much all of his sets for the past year. the brutal bass groove of cirkus calls to mind classic era r&s, its choppy vocals and skittering percussion give the track a raw funk, while its smooth pads add a reassuring, warm flow. untitled to her is a relentless robert armani-style workout, with a hint of chi town bubble and funk. driving chords and simple drum patterns give the tune serious momentum, while plenty of breaks in the rhythm and machine gun buildups make sure you dont lose the groove. romanian producer cristi cons aka case sensitive. after dark interpretation is a gloriously meandering, fluid rework. its subterranean bass bumps and heavily filtered synths give the track a brilliantly disorientating feel, while its tense and tight arrangement bring a tense energy.

third and final part of the massive longplayer.. fierce and dark techno weapons! berghain proof ! having built up several heavyweight releases on figure already, japanese techno magnate a. mochi stampedes onwards with primordial soup his powerful 9 track longplayer, initially split over three successive 12 records. this collection of simply overwhelming club weapons extends and expands upon some of the themes the producer already explored in his 3 previous eps for figure ringing, gyrating and pulsing with sheer technoid power is fastball, which will be included on the third part of the release. devilishly simple and yet mind-expanding all the same, this is a true underground weapon for true techno lovers. this only leaves the haunting lift-off signal of forced run, and the trance-inducing, reduced jam that is dark matter.

babylon by car is entirely in this ambiguity, between nostalgia and modernity, between pop and post-punk, electronic music and rock, past and future – its where kraftwerks >men-machines< celebrated an endless future with obedient machines. botox summons the ghosts of the century, from cybotron to wire, from fad gadget to john carpenter, to give birth to greatly personal music and, in all honesty, a rather unique sound in french electronic music. botox doesnt swagger to keep their motors running. both melodic and fierce, >babylon by car< comes as it is. and its probably the best way to take it in

in 2002 the 65d mavericks released this sonic vision of an industrialized technoid soundscape.

invaders must die is the prodigys 5th album, and is 40 minutes of having your head battered by future nostalgia, serotonin levels twisted by feel good horrorcore and your synapses snapped by whiplash attitude. its the sound of the prodigy mixing up genres, contorting the past and rewiring the future, ram raiding through the tranquility of musics status quo like a blot on the landscape of englands dreaming.

question “whatcha gonna do?”, answer, “buy this, love it, marry it, play it and destroy dancefloors.” right now oliver $ is one of the most exciting dj’s / producers coming out of berlin. his unique take on house has gained mass support and regular play from the likes of luciano, ricardo vilalobos, claude vonstroke and winston churchill. “whatcha gonna do?” draws elements from the hyphy sound in that upon hearing the track the listener is forced to dance in an overstated, fast paced, and ridiculous manner which makes for a good party especially when it’s a club full of ravers going mental. oliver’s numerous productions are setting dancefloors alight across the globe and having recently remixed artists such as swag, justin martin, jacob london and filthy dukes on labels as diverse as polydor, greco roman and rekids, oliver $ is certainly the man to watch right now. whether you’re a dj, house head, lord, lady, tramp or ghost your going to dig this release, so now you know whatcha gonna and gotta do.

big with: carl cox, ali schwarz, josh wink, sebo k, brothers vibe, catz n dogz, laurent garnier, karotte, falko brocksieper, dave dk, martin landski, tricksi, dario zenker, shuri- kan, marco resmann, ed davenport, agnes, miss jools, kreon, cirillo, anthony collins, dyed soundorom, will saul, funk d void, james flavour, okain, federico molinari, andrew grant, .. the always in form freak n chic continue their early-2009 bombardment with a superb ep from newcomer djebali. dropping just in time for miami, the >lax ep< looks set to be another winner for the paris-based imprint as it oozes quality across all four of its, percussive house tracks. starting with the urgent, chicago vibes of >dont be forced<, the >lax ep< features tracks for every point in a set. while the aforementioned cut is peak-time, the sinister >california<is pure afterhours with its spooky synths and heavy funk bass drops.

part 1 of the new double-release from tiefschwarz aims at the heart of house music: soul. “on&on” is a first-class arranged club track. starting off with a wonderful mellow theme, that is adumbrated by the bass line in an one-and-a-half minute long exposition. the track ups the tempo with an additional hi-hat resolving into a shuffle beat. in double time, we move on towards the first break. here an edgy, minor key-chord sequence is introduced, making it obvious for everyone, that this track is gonna take off. eventually the keys function as a counterpoint to the classic bass line. a four-to-the-floor “on&on” vocal sample takes over after the break, adding another percussive aspect. as the track goes on a mulitiplicity of side elements sets in - no room for tediousness! in the end the “on&on” vocals resolve into “it’s so simple… . who knows, but this could be a broad hint to all the tech-house academics out there. no matter what, this grande finale raises a smile from every last sweaty soul on the dancefloor. with “best inn” on the b-side tiefschwarz create a dance classic, dressed in 2009 fashion. reminiscent of long gone nu-groove times, a traditional house beat - including a tiny off-beat tinker bell - blasts out of the speakers. a slured synth-organ provides the track with that certain edgyness. here, the brothers keep it laid-back yet exciting at the same time. this piece goes on and on and on - and you yourself run alongside, not wanting to pause. but watch out! at the latest in the second break, tiefschwarz put nostalgia to the test via some shockingly muffled metal drums. one of these moments, where you wish yourself back into the middle of an eight-hour deep-house set in 1992. the train departs. one thrillingly beautiful landscape after another runs by, until the warm sun strokes of the south suddenly rouse you out of slumber. arrived

amazing disco boogie holy grail was released on tim mabins own sapphire imprint back in 1984. because of the fact that tim was forced to work with a limited budget, he only could press up 500 copies, just a few copies were exported out of the country. this became a real crate diggers treasure, changing hands for $100 and more. we are really proud to offer you this official re-issue. jimmy jam is a true dance floor burner. solid lynn drum machine beats, fat grooving minimoog bassline, crazy synth work and amazing vocals make this tune a must have! the instrumental is included too. floorfiller

bomb the bass is back! but put away that smiley face, this is no nostalgia trip. with >future chaos<, tim simenon revamps his long-running project to produce a record thats fresher than anyone might have expected from an outfit that got its start in the 80s.

the label boss returns to his own yore imprint with another stunning solo release. these are different times indeed for andy vaz if the eps three mighty jams are indicative of where his musics heading. the a-sides over here (a glance over prime time mix) roars from the very first moment vaz unleashes its steaming, latin-tinged groove. a far cry from the techno the yore label head once issued, the tune finds vaz exploring straight up dancefloor territory with a dizzying house pulse that straight up rocks. melodies and voices rise to the surface of the dionysian broil and then just as quickly recede, leaving room for a driving bass line to gain the spotlight. the flips hurry hurry (before its too late mix) is classic deep house just as one expects on yore. a jazz-inflected strut with tilman ehrhorns sax playing, wailing over waves of rollicking piano playing and spirited vocal chants. the energy level doesnt flag for the discs final track, bygone times (nostalgia mix), which stokes a fiery house swing with its locomotive pulse, futuristic synth patterning, and high-velocity bass lines. vazs music has never sounded more impassioned and energized than it does in these three tracks and consequently, just as one might predict, different times feels like its over far too soon

john tejada & arian leviste from 2001 with great deep techno to techhouse

the king unique/junior revival continues on curfew with one of the biggest tracks of 2001, remixed and refreshed for its 08 comeback. aah yeah… >obscene, dirty, filthy, immoral<, a chant that echoed across clubland throughout that year of tribal beats, dark >waaaarp< noises and danny tenaglias dj booth torch-antics. but fuck the nostalgia and get these two superb remixes in your lbag

played by sebo k, karotte... layo and bushwacka! are equally at home turning out summery housey affairs as they are peak time stormers, and >now is the time / the time was then definitely fits into the latter category. a double header, the loose concept behind the release is to represent the sound of the dancefloor now versus the sound from a few years ago. >now is the time< has its feet placed firmly in 2008 - a crisp, clean techno bassline, topped by hand claps, snatches of breathy female vocal, and full of an irresistible array rattles, whooshes and other indefinable sounds that the duo seem to pull from the depths of their imaginations. it breaks with some simple electronic sounding chords and a stirring martin luther king sample that makes this record so memorable. >the time was then< is based around that same sample, but gives a cheeky nod to a few years back, with a bassline and keys that wouldnt have sounded out of place on their seminal ‘night works’ album. it never goes too far towards nostalgia, though, and either would rip up a late night dancefloor

the new soul designer album evolutionism will be released as 2 indivually released 12 eps with dj friendly versions, followed by a cd and dl album with additional tracks

loved by alex from tokyo, alex attias, ame, dixon, marcus worgull, peter kruder, roland appel, tony lionni and many more.. fabrice lig, the prince of everything electronic, is back after his very acclaimed x-slaves. he delivers the goods once again, starting off here with chapter one in a purple raw trilogy. first up is the track, based around a jerky syncopated rhythm and a very dry kick, which remains light all the way. as usual, lig’s arrangements evolve progressively before they wipe us away with their screeching pads and synthetic melodies. a great mixture of minimal techno and detroit nostalgia. no doubt, the more efficient track produced by fabrice lig and hammered by dixon, ame, alex attias, quarion… much more aggressive, bump bump is built around fat analogue sounds, or acid noises if you prefer which seem to emulate screaming animals. one is easily carried away by an animalistic groove that keeps on building from the beginning till the end. it all ends with the very funky the riff pourpre, a perfect crossover between metro area and parliament. the retro sounds sit nicely on a big fat beat, the kind which lig excels in.

earlier support by martinez, tiefschwarz, pheek and agaric !! tic tac toe records is back – this time with candy for all the minimal minded techno ears among their fans. they bring you two teams of danish supertalents, ecco & justin side and remixers dj lab & larry – and not to mention well known maestro ryan crosson.

radius unleashes part 3 of its best of superradio series treating us with yet another timeless classic. fuerza major by camaros gang, one of the more edgy italo disco groups, is one of those tracks that effortlessly show us how those mad italians went on to influence 80s pop music for years to come. fuerza major has all the essential elements, typical vintage bassline, cheesy pop melodies, catchy and vague i met this girl in a new york discotheque vocals straight from a melancholic heart. its simply joyfull nostalgia from 1985. as to the remix, tensnake, who already released a brilliant ep on radius, did the honours and gave fuerza major a deeper disco vibe with plenty of his own funky twists and turns. radius set off once again to make you shake your hips to the past of the future!

as hard as it might be to believe, there was a time when the word trance did not mean dutch guys dressed in white wearing oakleys.. it also didn t mean israeli pre-military dragon-stick wielding reefer addicts.. actually, there was a glorious era where trance was a verb rather than a noun.. im talking about when you got in a trance, at lets say for example: the golden eagle in munich in 81, in a white-tiled sauna-motif discotec, grooving to a 17 minute reel-to reel version of knights in white satin on your 2nd bottle of poppers while some guy named >wolfie< takes his modern ballet skills to the >next level<. if that sounds appealing.. and i know it does.. then allow me to introduce you to compuphonic and kolombo.. a throwback to the days of romance-trance of the highest order. deep, sensual (yes, i used the word sensual) electronic grooves so potent that we were forced by a coalition of competitors labels to only release some of them digitally to restrict their awesome power to trip people out. these tracks make other tracks seem like mindless shallow shit. that includes some of turbos other releases.

finest dubby deep techno trax !! for two years the doors were open monthly at grubenstrasse 28 in zurich. and what a two years it was! musicians from afar were joining a frolicsome party crowd of 300, all done in an intimate maze-like setting where the largest value was put on atmosphere and hospitality - just perfect. problems with the neighbourhood forced us to close down this last jewel of zurichs alternative nightlife

only unreleased new tracks from dj deeon and slugo....though he s revered among chicago djs and around the world as the original master of ghetto dance music, deeon started small, on chicagos south side. he sold his dj mixtapes in the parking lot where he lived, and played house parties in the projects. these crowded living room parties started the feeling and inspiration for the sound deeon produced, music he simply refers to as, >for the strippers, for the street<. while tracks like >accelerate< on dance mania were doing well overseas, he was getting little support or play from local chicago clubs. deeon calls ghetto house the >stepchild of chicago house<. eventually the incredible response from his music forced the clubs to concede and play his records. these >techno with a ghetto edge< tracks have found way to the decks in clubs around the world. deeon found his home on chicagos own dance mania label, where he released hits like >let me bang<, >who you wit<, >da dick suck< and >the freaks<. deeon is currently signed to databass records, which is rereleasing most of his back catalog with new remixes!

commercial club vocal pop house - after remixes for dj jean & cooperation with double you !!

comicalanimals of all sorts populate the world of miraumusik, and tensnake is just one of these odd fish, hatched from a cuckoo s egg and fostered by a thoughtful disco ball and an indulging minimoog. the restless ep does the eighties caper with dexterity, eliminating the mere possibility of ridicule. the dancable track of black vinyl dictates earnest nostalgia rather than trend-devoted retro chic!

here we have 4 absoltuly bannging tracks with evil breaks and great arrangements! all 4 tracks are perfekt hardfloor peaktime techno .. supported by sven wittekind, torsten kanzler, rush and pet duo !!

new opus by i:cube featuring three sharp and compelling tracks, chicago sur seine takes on early chicago house with a naive yet modern approach. reminiscent to the deep jacking imprints of the virgo four, rich in nostalgia its explores the roland juno 60 sound producing a basy and powerful drive. tokyo uno is a sensual slow motion disco tune, i: cube even brings in some melody with a balearic feel. a summer sunrise anthem

the original, with its wailing organs 909 beats and dark vocals samples takes this one down the road 3.am style. whilst the flip-taken over by dj linus - goes even deeper into a dubby synth workout with a chicago trax bassline and 707 claps hitting hard ontop of the 909 kick. pure, effective nostalgia.

with her debut “my shadow was a nun”, maj rachel creates an amalgam of soul, musique concrete, sound design experiments and classical.

the 21st full length release on greyscale is by none other than the home town hero sraunus. a veteran of the label, we are thrilled to have the fellow lithuanian back once again. the depth of surrealismus is nothing short of amazing. how only 7 tracks feels deeper than any double cd set, we are still trying to uncover and understand the entire scope of this release. sonically, it is a true gem of pushing the limits. idea wise, this album is cohesive and awe-inspiring. holowuka is beautiful and gentle opener. it sets off a serene almost deep sea diving atmosphere with the long delays and low frequency chords vibrating through. the melodic elements open up even more, a vast world as the track evolves. from the low key and moody to the pumping aggressiveness that is hroniglas ii . a true monster with a sick combination of trance and deep techno thrills. jueootas conjures of memories of 1990s ambient techno with the light and airy feeling of nostalgia. a lovely adventure on the high seas. jurgynas continues this theme with a beautiful ride into a sound that is blissful and forever. some of the most soothing dub techno we have heard yet. lapunai is another strong candidate for being our most favorite on the album. featuring what sounds like excerpts of violin s over some amazing layered melodies. a shinning moment and a perfect example of a dub techno track s emotional potential. lastly, ramunanas submerges us in a beatless (but not bassline-less) sphere of magical and shimmering sounds. a true master-class of more ambient dub techno. sraunus is back and if surrealismus is any example of what he has in store, then everyone should bookmark his choice where he shares his latest news. we think this could revival any dub techno release for album of the year. it s that good!

after establishing himself with rough but emotive house as rimbaudian and jungle as birds of sweden, he unveiled his dj seinfeld alias to the world, first with underground hit single u, then with his time spent away from u album on lobster fury in november 2017. it was a post break-up love letter to the dance floor with heart-on-sleeve emotions colouring the dusty and analogue house grooves. acclaim came in from far and wide, with everyone from rolling stone to pitchfork fawning over its heart swelling nostalgia and melancholic immediacy. jakobsson approached his dj-kicks with the intention of representing all the things that made him fall in love with dance music more than a decade ago, as well as showing some of the progression that has occurred in that time and reflecting the simultaneous fear of leaving something safe behind as well as the excitement of venturing into unknown territories, musically and emotionally.

born in a remote log cabin deep in the scottish highlands, eventual reality, the debut album from the james lÕestraunge orchestra melds jazz and electronic music sensibilities with a huge helping of heart and soul. in 2014 seasoned producer and musician ricky reid and his partner retreated from the city to embark upon a new life, in his own words Òaway from the constant, incoherent noise of the worldÓ. as he set up his studio, the clean air and spectacular surroundings began to provoke musical inspiration like never before. then, like a scene from Ôfield of dreamsÕ, a series of talented musicians from his former life visited the cabin for a series of late night jamming and recording sessions, leaving behind them hidden treasures to be discovered and lovingly pieced together by ricky over the following months. with nostalgia so much a part of the albumÕs creation, the james lÕestraunge orchestra canÕt help but appear somewhat spectral, after all they are truly the band that never was.

a.r.c. soundtracks is the audio/visual project of k.craig and david armes. dereliction//mirror is the duoÕs third release, following on from a debut album, archive: volume one (little crackd rabbit) and a cassette release for sacred tapes, from a shattered beam. dereliction//mirror was created on-residency at salford s islington mill, home to gnod, sacred tapes and many other noise/experimental musicians and labels. it is an audio/visual piece that uses the semi-derelict attic spaces as both inspiration and source material. focussing on the notion of ruins and their potential for reappropriation, dereliction//mirror combines a dense, multi-layered sound-world with ritualistic visuals to create an immersive, hypnotic work. this new film and soundtrack takes us into a bleak auditory realm of post-industrial structures and traces the role of the body within these liminal spaces. strained harmonics and industrial, discordance mesh with veiled rhythms and spoken-word narrative to create a heavy, static energy to both sound and visuals.

pianos have featured in house music since day one. there s just something about the combination of looping piano chords and a skipping house groove which works so well. in contemporary dance music the piano still remains intrinsically linked to house, though it was in the late 80s and 90s that the true piano house classics were created. we took it to our hearts. the emotionally charged piano riff became a defining motif of uk dance music. producers knew they only had to alight upon a suitably uplifting three-chord piano hook in order to unleash a tide of misty nostalgia for rave s halcyon days. ministry of sound are proud to present piano house classics.
