new label from switzerland called gelbes billett musik. finest minimal funk with support by d.diggler, mathias schaffhäuser and jussi pekka

sleazy mcqueen and the nasty fruits make their boogie farm debut with an e.p. full of tripped out detroit-influenced disco-funk! on the a-side we have the detroit influenced >neurotic city<. it s smooth pads and eerie percussives blend well with the breathing bass line and chaotic melody making it the most clubby track of the release. on the inside, we find >things i do for you<, a heady deep house workout that will appeal to fans of late night debauchery! we ve been told that it was written late at night after a few bottles of wine, when sleazy mcqueen woke up the next day, there it was on his desk top. we think he should get drunk every night if this is the result! on the flip its remix time courtesy of one of the hottest guys and label at the moment: philip lauer and brontosaurus! the >brontosaurus< remix of >gimme a kiss<, with its smooth running bass line and great pulsating rhythms keeps a good disco vibe reminiscent of kano! boogie on!

>the sweet vandals< demonstrates that funk & soul isnt dead !!

fresh mixes of the classic >that sound<

we are happy to welcome on this 5th release one of the most important argentinian producers, franco cinelli, well known for his recent album on alphahouse, played by the most important minimal das around the the globe.he is finally back on the young spanish label esperanza with a couple of tracks, accompanied by a mikael stavostrand remix.on the a side we have a funky course track, >antenna<, characterized by his typical fat and vibrating bassline, thin and cleverly placed hi-hat patterns and unexpected bubbling delayed bleeps.this is the perfect to change the gear of the dj set from a warmup session to a serious rockin party, thanx its energetic restart after a mid breaking pause.>oscilator one< on a 2 goes more hypnotic though mantaining a funk rate, thanks to a huge variety of cycling loops featuring a dubby bassline and an appreciable rhythmic pattern.on b side we have >antenna 2< wich is remixed with knowledge by the swedish artist mikael stravostrand, bringing it much percussive on start and effective in every kind dancefloor, all that enriched by an exceptinal vocal performance by big bully that definte lyx make it a true bomb to detonate in the right moment of the night

it took a good one and a half years to see these two gentlemen reunite again. pro s may know why. you can only create so much quality work that it s good to take some time off now and then to get back on it with refreshed senses, new gear and new ideas. this 3 tracker is the start of a string of new 12s and simply >multiplies< everything good in john and arian s music. the motion, the funk, the accurate timing, the control, the tension, the groove, the deepness, the classic techno-ness, and the oh my goodness< kick assivity! :) check out the ultra intense, sturdy >multiplier,< a hard rocking deep dark tune layered with modular synth madness. flip to the b for >mathemagician,< the >mono on mono< update youve been waiting for. closing out the single, another analog scorcher >synthescheizer< does it s damage with 2 ms-20s side by side. no plug ins on this release, just good old dirty hardware... already support from anja schneider , karotte... and of course myself too...

powerful electro-tech-funk breaks from envisions sister laber - incl lawgiverz remix

we are very proud to count with the swiss funkman >agnès< on our artist pool! the man as been quiet busy lately. and the gentleman is sure not showing up with empty hands on this one. he s dub vaults are made of dead funk actions, his ever deepness along with the today s needed modern club artillery. on the a side lays the floor killer >hi-murda<. a hypnotic and dubbed out beat that just rules and rolls, a massive bassline from beyond and the ever twisted micro vocals clips and other tiny detailed sounds that defines the clever boy s production skills... a trip on a groove roller coaster that simply devastates everything on its road

the line in between will be released as three vinyl singles and a cd album. the second single includes two tracks from the album, >lost< and >panamuno <,with two brilliant remixes by zentex and 3 channels. the original version of >lost<is all about minimal hi-tech funk with a jackin flavour, while zentex s (kickboxer)soulseek remix drives on ghostly melodies and a haunting soundscape. the flipside tune panamuno is filled with warm synths, beautiful strings and a hypnotic melody,yet again by the frozen north grand wizard himself.3 channels remix thrives on controversy and begins where the original version ends. a real gem for the likes of progressive approach! martin landsky,loco dice..

rising star fabrizio mammarella s new slammin tracks for the regenerated bear funk gold are a fine return for the man from pescara, italy. his last work for stevie kotey s bear funk was his amazing remix of piston fiston which appeared alongside the optimus remix. he also made it onto ivan smagghe s fabric compilation with the 2005 bear funk release >tear up<. things are really looking up for this quietly spoken studio don. releases on bear funk, hairy claw, tiny sticks and brontosaurus recs have all turned heads in dj booths and on dancefloors and this release is no exception. low-slung echoed guitars, tight live drums and psyched effects are the order of the day. funk with a smiling face. check the flipside for a piece of another guitar-led number. much slower and blessed out but no less funked-out!

following succesful releases on robsoul and black crack, canada s loopity goofs bring the heat to the greenhouse on this solid three track ep. already seeing solid support from dj mark farina and the likes the diversity on this ep will keep it in the box for months to come. >gotta move it< is a straight up bleepy jacker with some nice vocal elements thrown on top. >shake it up< is the funky head nodder with it s rhodes vibe and sub bass. and rounding it off is >this time< with it s dark funk, live sax and shuffling beats

a perfect example of ameszs fascinating take on house music. sidestepping the electrohouse clichÉs, the groove is low slung and funky and the bassline drives the track forward nicely. support from funk d void, john digweed and d.ramirez.fellow dutchmen, infinitize, step up admirably for remix duties, turning my favorite barbie into a slightly darker, more atmospheric track more suited to late night action than its counterpart.already getting plays on pete tongs friday night show

absolutely funk bombs by pedro delgardo and james alexander !!

played by james mowbray, jeff samuel, john tejada!! news from the anti claves-biter fraction: sub static-label boss falko brocksieper follows suit and warms up for the next album-quantum-leap, however, as a finger exercise first, there is this small, fine ep with three elegantly knitted smashers for the dj from world. as usual this man simply shakes the funk out of the sleeves, so he can afford to pass big music already for the aperitif, which is always best for the meal, right? >esque< builds up the break culture quite high, without falling however, as the pleasantly massaging bass foundation stands firmly against wind and tide. this is the club counterpart to the lightning rod, bundling the crowd s attention perfectly and focusing it to one point, between a glass of vodka (located at the dj-booth) and the horizon (in the head, man, in the head!)

incl. guy gerber & david k rmx, following the huge >beautiful noise< on rekids, spencer makes his tsuba debut with the gritty rain of bleeps that is >neon<. as with every tsuba release, on the flip there s an exciting remix on offer. this time guy gerber & david k combine to deliver a deep spacey interpretation with a jacking bass heavy groove. guy describes this as >my favourite ever remix<. with over 10.000 plays so far on myspace >neon< is a big release for tsuba, as these djs all agree: laurent garnier, funk d void, john digweed, tiefschwarz, james zabiela

known for his smacked up productions on 2020 vision and phonogenic audio, phonogenic aka tuomas salmela gives us his best work to date in the form or >orange leaves<. amazing production ties together this beautiful peace of finely arranged drums and humongous riffing, creating a fine mark for the wodka infused finn. for the b-side phonogenic delivers a slice of bubbly electronic funk with >dubby cop<. remixing >dubby cop< - milano s finest, boogie drama (aka lele sachi and sandiego) rocks the big floor with their trademark sound of phat kickdrums, bigtime breaks and lovely keys, ready to drop those stringpanties down. as a digital only special we include an unreleased phonogenic production >air moves< with a full-lenght freestyle man discotronix remix which warms up the disco flavoured hearts among us

this dry, cold-processed stomper from jack rock shoots like a rocket out of nowhere. with a bass drum that reminds of stakes installed in the swampland and a mysterious melody, he once again presents himself as the connoisseur of delicate club dramaturgy and jack really knows how to conquer the hearts of both, the dj and the crowd.his stumbling funk finds its equivalence in dandy jack s staccato rush whose congenial remix shows a higher concentration, but is still full of catchiness and deepness driven by a real conviction. this must-have ep offers a really wonderful ground contact and represents the continuation of a unique label policy: young, but characterised by deep wisdom, knowledge that can only be found in the dark labyrinths of the club where we love to get lost over and over again...played by john acquaviva, dinky, toni rios
