best italian techy minimal tunes !! very hot...

infekto (aka rico tubbs) has been turning heads on the funkier floors across the world with his signature sound of heavy, polished beats alongside party rockin bass and catchy hooks a plenty. funky music carries a similar tone to ghetto soul, miami treble, and his last money shot outing, the real funk. funky music also pays tribute to one of our favourite instruments of all time the cowbell. cuz every tune could use a little more cowbell

the i want my mtv mix takes the original straight to the dancefloor with a tough and techy outing that re contextualizes the vocal and injects a robo funk vibe thats guaranteed to get the crowd moving. on the flip, as the title suggests, the lightly touched dub moves closer with the original,staking a deeper vibe and more hypnotic approach, while emphasizing the elements and drawing out the groove. already a west coast favorite on white label doc martin needed two copies! the we are not mixes of rivers are poised to make their international bow with a club approved boom dj support from doc martin, chris fortier, chris duckenfield g pal, jon sinclair, solar, kostas michalis, reticent, deko ze, andy hughes, and shylock

harrison crump bounces back with deeper, a full on gospel tinged song featuring dajae on vocals. driving rhythms with 80s percussive licks, along with lush strings, brass swells and a piano breakdown, propel a gritty sounding dajae to new heights, lifting you up on a warm feeling of well being. funk monkeys supply the remix, getting a tad tribal and freaky as they go in search of the k hole

ginny s unique 1983 slow burning >can t be serious< has some very intense vocals and has conquered the hearts of many. now finally available again, remastered from the original tapes. renowned jazz-funk fusionist clive stevens has a career spanning over 30 years and has collaborated with the likes of afrika bambaata, manfred mann, billy cobham and others. his 1983 >mystery man< track is a beautiful, exotic cosmic disco jam previously released on italian label >many records< and the german >frog records<. this rare and sought after track comes in orignal remixed version featuring famous percussionist/composer mino cinelu who has played with miles davis and weather report

new kanada follows up adam marshalls >black snow ep< (nk01) with a killer set of remixes from the hottest canadian talent this side of berlin. the a-side is a seriously advanced workout of minimal funk from cynosures mike shannon, who remixes >black snow< into a stripped-down house groove. on the b-side, we have jeremy p. caulfields treatment of >mission<, which continues into the dark and precise mood set up so well on his dumb-unit imprint. ending things on b2 is j. hunsbergers delicate and beautiful rework of >hot spring<. jay spices things up a little with vocal snippets and rocked-out drums, and hints at the sounds he just unleashed on steve bugs audiomatique label<

this ep is an exclusive collaboration between joakim and former minimal compact singer samy birnbach, an offshoot of dj morpheuss compilation >i cant live without my radio< in a punk-funk vein with raw analog synths and fierce guitars (featuring panicos guitarist, memo dumay). on the flip side, we have asked rub n tug, probably the best remixers in 2005, to put their hands on minimal compacts nil nil. gothic electro disco !!

4 tracks of magic, chopped up funk groovy techhouse to rock the foor !!

boriqua tribez stands for expressive sounds of rio productionz, presented from one of austrias national heroes in the electronic music community. with this committed project dj i.q. underline his prevailing interest for disco,funk,old skool,tribalelements and takes it to another level by creating a particular connection to techno music nowadays

after last month s superb ep from burnski, up steps label boss simon baker. it sounds like a lost acid-era classic, as cheeky fxs pan back and forth as the track builds into a rolling mass. ivan smagghe, ralph lawson, funk d void, paul woolford, dj hell….

great rollin funk influenced tribal tech with driven vocals produced by budai & vic !! incl allan banford remix

aesthetik records explores the subtle interaction of minimal structures and intrusive sound particles, playfully shapeshifting between the warm funk of todays and yesterdays techno dancefloors and the hypnotic grip on the human mind. the first release comes from belgian producer franco cangelli. allready having some slick releases on sushitech and toys for boys, his third vinyl ep üplayfully shifts between old school minimalist straight forwardness and solid experimental techno...

odds & ends music always come up with something slightly different to the rest and we mean that in a good way! this release by leon louder is just that, slick house music with funk and depth

hypnotischer moderner acid wie wir ihn mögen .... played by karotte, jesse rose, mathias tanzmann, funk d void, brett johnson and many more

strong first release on this new minimal techno label. supported by mathias kaden, michel de hey, troy pierce, shinedoe, ripperton, funk d void, extrawelt, monika kruse, konrad black & jesse somfay !!

according to dan curtin: this work shows history and knowledge of the music that inspired most of what we listen to today. every track demonstrates a rich and thick production that perfectly compliments the musical contents. ranson definitely pays homage to the sound of the detroit originators but still displays his own direction and identity. this is future soul with emotion unbound to our planet. so far full support from dan curtin/ fabrice lig and funk d void!

dexter and marco passarani team up for one of the hottest releases on nature. kind of dexter meets passarani actually... chicago and detroit influenced trade mark tracks of passarani mixed with the razor sharp beats and phat basslines of dexter. the original version is probably the most advance mix with it sharp beats and funky basslines. the dexter mix is kind of minimal techno-ish funk or something, and the passarani mix is an excellent rocking chicago influenced house/techno track. very strong cuts which are allready rocking the dancefloors

c.i.t. is the newest project of lars wickinger from berlin and michael skelton from hamburg !! the >tomboy ep< is an incredible cocktail of rough techhouse, raw basslines and thumping beats. there are sweet poptunes and funk as well as highend sounds and underground techno !!!

paris producers guillaume atlan (the supermen lovers) and gregory louis (aloud) have recently joined forces to form new act moto signed exclusively to cyclo records. taking their influences from 70s californian funk - rock bands and icons like stretch, chicago, prince, ac/dc, they develop a style of their own, adding a touch of electro to their live instruments (guitar, bass, vocals) to deliver sexy, uplifting tracks. >heartbreaker< their first single contains that genuine positive rock n roll attitude that will make you jump off your seat while driving a convertible car on a desert highway. >who cares< on the b-side in a more spaced out way but with that added 70s funk treatment will take you to the next lost motel where you may not find anyone but a dog to talk to. motos debut ep, have been selected as part of the soundtrack of eric lavaine new screenplay >poltergay< (out october 26th in france), a comic production where gay ghosts make the life of an ordinary, newly established couple quite difficult...

crispy and freaky electro 7 tracker !!

mike humphries strikes back on his own imprint mastertraxx with two essential cuts of classic proportions !! supported by dj rolando 29.08.2006

>through the door< is a classic chacona production - atmospheric space funk, combining more synths than a jean michel jarre stage show, solid disco beats and eyes firmly on the dancefloor. imagine lindstrom on disco biscuits and you get the idea. >the next< wears its italo influences on its sleeve, and will appeal to fans of francisco, morgan geist and chicken lips. the disco synths return (he loves his synths!) and ride over shuffling percussion, a rubbery bass and build into an epic piece of 21st. century disco

knarziger banging electro techno

on his bpitch debut ep larsson pumps the finest minimal funk into the happily upswelled label veins. three tracks that found the necessary balance between trippy abstraction and bold bouncy funkyness without forgetting the comforting effect of warming facets and hypnotic melodies.

berlin team of dave shokh and holgi star are back with a cool house long player for the masses. remix courtest of the ultra hot agaric (we are, aka patrik skoog) begin with gathered clicking percussion built with high pitched stabs and reversed flicks. lirum builds ontop of itself as the snare punctuates the groove as the bell rises. a galloping invasion of sounds going from your brain wide into your feet. you will dance and feel good. yes. agaric does not hold back. the funk is dripping. a rolling tight groove filled to the top with hits and drum flips. just wait as he teases before the bassline appears and off we go. madness for the dancefloor?!? for certain!

the first release on sounderground records with a taste of things to come. a minimal/tech funk offering from the unstoppable pairing of dan berkson and james what. already receiving rave reviews this should see out the summer nicely. idj magazine gives it 4/5!

since 2003 big nick d has been running a tight solo operation, with artists from future funk squad, merka, lunamoth, ben & lex as well as new comers curl & dean, the label focuses on breakbeat, slightly left of centre. this label sampler features tracks by lunamoth merka and screen3
