mr. st plomb makes everything groovy! the title track >wild at heart< is a banger. a banger with a sexy smile. full-blown organs. irresistibly funky steel-drums. and a little cosmic-ambient flirtation. dig a little deeper with house maestro agnes favela funk mixx, and get carried away in a dubby maelstrom that could turn any afterhour-celebration upsidedown. straight-up dancefloor fodder is st plombs chord-ridden b-side offering >life s here (aint we lucky?)<. a funky bass for a loving race? chicago, here we come!

sampler 1 of 2 from in flagrantis new album. predictably jacked to the brim full of their signature no-gristle, no-glory aesthetic. succeeding 2006s wronger than anyone else and 2009s brash & vulgar, in flagrantis sasa crnobrnja and alex gloor have left behind their vintage porn-chic sensibilities and instead turn to yesterdays trashed goods for inspiration. >flea markets and recycling parts of our production are really at the center of this album,< said the now london-based crnobrnja. >i like things to be old and run-down,< added alex gloor, who still resides in basel. >so i let myself be inspired by one of my favorite places to spend time: 1970s- 80s new york city.< among four killer tracks, >prelude to chaos< reminisces the days where the finest of 69-cent wines glistened in the gutters outside the arcade.

the result of xavers score is a percussive journey reminiscent of minimal music from the 60s paired with african vibes but completely void of world music cliches. its closer to krautrock and steve reich than to the commonly shallow perception of indigenous music by first world movie directors. full of odd sounding kalimbas and plucky guitars, backed by heavy orchestral drumming and floating e-bows.

electro techno/house, melodious and full of dancefloor tricks. strong stuff.

taken from trentemøllers new full-length album, ‚into the great wide yonder, a stunning achievement in modern production and cinematic songwriting, >shades of marble< has been reworked by the man himself, along rising artists kink and kasper bjørke. trentemøllers dramatic, edgy and daring remix of his own string drenched opus is nothing short of breathtaking. leaning towards dancefloors with an appreciation for epic qualities, this expertly constructed re-think will surely be heard well into the festival season. the inimitable man from sofia, kink rises to the challenge of remixing shades of marble and does so heroically. the pleasing result is a tough, chicago meets berlin jack-jam that leads to tripped out and freaky moments in the break, until his trademark drum machines do the rest! finally another bright star of the danish scene, kasper bjørke, has his say with his deeper and more low slung remix that leads the listening into satisfying late night realms. full of funk and melancholy, this is a welcome treat for fans of bjørkes characteristic productions.

strong 4 tracks full of preaktime house tracks

full length double lp from stockholms biggest sound, skudge..tip! although the duo was only formed in summer 2009, they have already moved out of near anonymity to become precious favourites of deep, warehouse-styled house and techno fans. their output to date has moulded together classic ideas and modern aesthetics with a keen sense of minimalism: their looped soundscapes are often bare, but never lacking, and the intersection between house and techno seems to be the point at which the duo most often find themselves. as a result, thats the area most explored on their debut album, phantom, which conjures up exactly the sort of adjectives you should imagine given its title.

cursor miners fourth studio album >requires attention< is his most coherent and accomplished record yet. featuring the singles >mad cow< (which spent 2 weeks on the dmc update chart) and >luna< (currently picking up radio play from huw stephens (bbc radio 1), nick luscombe (bbc 6 music), john kennedy (xfm) and more), it combines everything that is good and great about cursor miner, which is basically just about everything.

over the last couple of years, christopher rau has built a reputation as the finest ear canal masseuse in the contemporary house music scene, catching the attention of fellow hamburger dj koze who has recruited him for this new three-track ep. raus debut full-length asper clouds, released in the fall, was noted for straddling the line between >club< and >headphone< music, earning 4 out of 5 stars from resident advisor along the way, and now, with the how are you ep, he follows up to further explore his sonic approach: an assault of subtlety. >pervading animal< is built upon a solid foundation of familiar rhythm box elements, but like vines and moss, the sedating sounds of strings and keys envelop the empty spaces, showing christopher raus ability to combine the artificial and the organic into something transcendent. then, on the flip side, he lets his weirdness factor shine. at first, >c f r< sounds like by-the-numbers muppet new age, but graduates with distinction as the meowing synth squiggles saunter over the basketball beat. the ep denouements with >how are you today<, marked by a toasty chord progression thats playfully trying to compose itself as the track moves forward, turning science fiction into science fact. you want to believe

ltd handmade cover ... telrae welcomes soundseeker, noise controller,full time musician, van bonn. he has written two tracks for telrae. both of them are constructed like a theatre play.. each tone is intentionally-on purpose- generated and set in its propper place to create a symbiotic effect... which you realise once you give them time to interact… and create something which might be just one element in a chainreaction. van bonns definition of techno dub. you could say van bonns has written the most abstract release so far for telrae and you could be right. the two tracks are not written for functional reasons, but are very functionel for the ones that seeks for similar feelings such as, deepness,landscapes of sound or just snapshots in which time stands still. these tracks come from far away to be discovered by likeminded people. dive into the world of van bonn.
