some would say the chicken lips label is long overdue, but lipservice is worth the wait as it promises the very best from augmented cl clan of dean meredith, andy meecham, stevie kotey and johnny spencer - a collective who have remixed just about everyone, spawned a thousand copycats and destroyed a few floors in the process. the inaugural lipservice release sees the chaps unleash zeefungk, one of their most popular and rare guises. the a-side is occupied by >robot eyes< - a splendid slice of electro-disco-funk which is vintage chicken lips. acid bass and loose drums combine with keys which progress wonderfully to create a really special piece of dancefloor tomfoolery. next up is >feast of freeks< (stevie koteys tape edit), a new edit of a track featured on the bands now-classic >extended play< album but never released as a 12inch. the bearfunk main man and all round gent delivers a tweaky, driving uptempo disco monster which climaxes in some trademark kotey madness. >robot lips< closes the packages and displays more of the guys unreal keyboard work as the groove stays steady but the hands go hyper. riddled with vintage synth work, >robot lips< is heads down business and no mistake.

mufo has garnered attention a few years ago with his c.l.a.u.d.i.a. 12-inch for kompakts k2 imprint, and sounds set to do so again with colors. anything but monochromatic, >one color< opens with stripped-down, tech-house swing before adding shuffling pulses and melodic accents that are both jittery and robotic. working itself up to a skittish, metronomic broil, the track exudes an android relentlessness that?s offset by repeated change-ups. on the b-side, di francesco brings the funk on >two colors<, six minutes of swizzling electro-techno whose palette is anything but muted. the tune squawks and sputters like some incessantly sneezing synthesizer apparatus in what could pass for a fractured 23rd-century techno take on zydeco. with this release in hands, its again proven without a doubt, that persistencebit continues the global hunt for quality. supported by: robert leiner (www.leinermedia.net): >good use of the korg wavestation on both< andrew duke (andrew duke in the mix radio brodcast since 1987): >excellent my favourite track is one color< ryaz khan (ww.chry.fm / myspace.com/diversionsradioshow): >solid release i love both cuts<xpansul (minus,plus 8 records): >two colors is great. thanks.<

after the inclusion of crushed by actress on the most recent prime numbers ep, we return with three tracks from one of our favourite contemporary producers. ghosts have a heaven is a heavily stripped down, minimally constructed piece built on a heavyweight kick drum whilst given movement and accentuated by filtered synth washes and sub bass which change subtly throughout the track. side 2 is taken by two tracks from the actress debut full length release on his own werk discs. hazyville is a twisted piece of electro funk expertly compressed and crackling with static energy. superb locking & popping lace the track sounding something like the avant gardism of subway theme from the wild style o.s.t pushed confidently into 2009. ext up redit 124 provides a deep clipped jackin groove with a glitchy feel. the beats are worked & moulded along with fizzing synths and jerky keys to produce a quality hybrid of sounds with its own idiosyncratic style firmly in place.

>not my cat< is a brooding fusion of bubbling acid, deep bass tones and low-down jacking rhythms that treads a line between early doors groover and late night mood setter. >demons among us< is exactly the sort of cinematic-style club production that will resonate with fans of charlies work. forging together multi-textured layers of precision crafted sonics, the overall vibe is one of minimized, robotic-funk that provides the foundations for a killer shimmering melody to do its joyous damage.

although jaxson and keno both have successful solo projects and have previously worked together before, this collaboration is bound to be their most notable release yet. a fusion of house, funk, latin and techno, all meet at the crossroads of their studios for a 4 track ep of sundry beats and fresh flavors. clearly the a-side, >tout le temps< is comprised of a clever hook and a hazy latino vocal sample, which carries the initial groove right into an originally played synth section. a good example of a refreshing approach to adding effects and using sounds. >tarantella< as the title might suggest, one might expect a track that would scare the living day lights out of you, but it has more of a >creeping up from behind you< sort of vibe. a subtlety creeping groove subliminally enters your unconscious mind carrying a secret message. what is that message you ask? dance! the congas on, >red baron< sound so live you can almost here the players licking their fingers. congas might be the groove in the heart of this tune, but the melody of the slick synth stabs and rising strings are what ultimately breath energy and spunk into this roller. >karate kid< initially has a minimal feel, but once the hacked up guitar and vocals come in, you can put those dirty thoughts to rest. abundant with an overwhelming amount of unique and interesting sounds, secure this tunes ability to prick up the ears of finicky djs and clubbers alike. it is rare to find such a wide variation of sound design on your run of the mill ep, but kindisch has proved they are not an ordinary label. they are consistently releasing quality tunes and always providing pleasant surprises. some might say it is a clichÚ, but this ep really does have a bit of something that will drive one club or another nuts

this time more disco-funk, with k. prima delivering 3 nice dancefloor cuts plus 1 slow-jam kind of miami coast-cruising track. it has already received quite some nice feedbacks from different artists such as, alexander robotnick, mr cisco, bumper, the diaphanoids, ajello, diskjokke and many others

gothenburgs goeran dahlström follows up his rather excellent remix of maelstroms enter the cosmos with his first solo production since 2007s back2back / angel babe the tin man on bear funk. encapsulating a real sense of summer, this sun soaked epic should soundtrack everywhere from california to croatia this year. remix duties fall to the prolific deep space resident brendon moeller who, under his beat pharmacy guise, turns out a more dance floor friendly re rub of the original while full pupps man of the moment blackbelt andersen delivers a fantastic slice of scandobalearic to complete the package. also features on the pizzico records compilation for an old dope, new aesthetics

deepgroove aka grayson shipley & lee pattison from bristol have crafted their skills at venues like bristols seminal lakota, emerging with a sound that incorporates a hefty measure of eclecticism within a framework of deep and twisted tribal grooves. never fearing to tread a different path when it comes to firing a crowd, their performances marry a healthy degree of contempt for convention, to an obvious reverence for the original precepts of house music. using the 4-deck format, not as a tool for ostentatious displays of mixing prowess, but as a template for experimentation, deepgroove throw everything at the crowd, embarking on sonic voyages that range from the sultry to the surreal, with the funk never being too far from the surface. coming from a strong musical background growing up around jazz musicians in west london, jamie anderson also had a love for electronic music and the art of mixing records which has been with him ever since the early electro and hip hop days

this is techno in the spirit of the original detroit and european pioneers: machine funk that looks as much to parliament and james brown for inspiration as to richie hawtin, and which treats each track as a fresh experiment in dancefloor dynamics, not as reworking of an existing formula.

since the early releases from the mid nineties, every muscial statement made by this man must be investigated. never one to put a step wrong, the sonic mind sound became instantly unique, raising the awareness of the techno community of what lay between detroit & chicago - kalamazoo.in the 21st, now residing in poland, the d knox sound continues to develop. whilst maintaining the acute instinct for getting all elements of tracks in beautiful balance for the maximum techno funk & groove, each track carries a lightness, maybe even translucent quality of sounds so characteristic of his style. once simple question - do you have a sonic mind
