supported by: richi hawtin, hot chip, john digweed, nik fanciull, tono rios, okain... their new ep >shipyard< is piemont at their best... we would not have it another way... magnetic beat-bassline monsters, funky and rigid at the same time. you might call it germanic and it reminds us of dadaism in the 20ies ingermany with it s theme: non-sense makes more sense? the a-side track >shipyard< has all of this, a fusion of old school with blowing horns and massive hi-tech technology. well we know the release is about hamburg harbour...but what the f..ck does it matter. the b1-track >cargo< is as heavy and bulky as you can imagine a track to be with this name... but if you know piemont, you know they make even heavy tracks funky. the b2-track >dockyard< isthe deepest track on the 12 inch and shows that piemont will continue their liking for deeper music which they revealed for the fist time on their recent album >strange world beyond< on mbf.

some sublime athmospheric techno tracks that go somewhere between dubstep, detroit techno and broken beat / garage. roof light did an excellent job on this 4 track ep with tracks that are light but full of emotion and athmosphere. radiance is for sure one of the high lights with its minimal funky bass line and cut up beats and massive strings layered on top. around here is the main track with its 90s two step rhythm and its deep athmospheric sounds and vocals. ltj bukem goes dubstep? not sure who is the producer... but if its a debut its pretty impressive. great release! must have for all the martyn and 2562 fans!

boris ross solo ep on his own luxaflex imprint. after a series of great remixes and releases on labels like oproof (rum), stolen moments and luxaflex its now time for the solo ep! an icredibly funkie house / minimal release for all of the headnodding crew out there. build like only boris can with its funky rhythm and fast edits and chords. some hidden vocals in there for your pleasure.. i want to ask you.. uhm..

funky vocal club tune!!

a new member to the 4lux family the talented alex agore! his productions are drenched with pumping beats, catchy riffs and funky deep grooves. to give some quick references we could say that alexs 1st twelve for 4lux is reminiscent of some of moodymann and theo parrish tunes fused with some dj sneaks uplifting spirits. 4 tracks with the syncopated collage of quiet jingling, subtle handclaps, keyboard melodies, and soul-drenched vocal samples and phat phat basslines! this will sell out even faster then the previous kez ym release on 4lux. you missed that one? don t sleep on this! essential house record.

sebastien leger continues on a slightly more techie approach with another fantastic two tracker you could well see in the boxes of both eric prydz and adam beyer. sebatiens new sound has a fantastic cross genre appeal, with his super-funky cool grooves tight rolling percussion, and intense breaks. this multi-talented producer is really starting to flex his musical muscles. expect huge dj support and continued radio plays.

banging funky tracks by pete simpson & richard wilkinson aka ignition techician!!

this ep opens with a funky but chill pinched, a mid-tempo track that starts out with a shuffled beat and deep bassline before breaking down and coming back with a haunting synth that is almost reminiscent of heartthrob. the second track on the a-side, sublingual, starts out almost as stripped down before turning into a smooth dancefloor track very much in the vein of the current output of dial records.

groovy, funky minimal sound of the delicious kind, served with a creamy remix topping by andy kohlmann.

its been a while, but the minimo imprint is finally back on track. and with a killer release that is!! ultra funky minimal techno music that will appeal to a very wide audience. well worth the waiting for this release!! big tunes..

just in case someone might have forgotten: stil vor talent is based in berlin. and this ep by sascha braemer, one part of heinrich & hirtenfellner, proves just that. braemer, whos just been at the top of everybodys dj charts with his funk-laden minimal soul piece >mamba drums< on kindisch records, has donated three tracks to oliver koletzkis imprint that mirror what this city is best know for: funky minimal grooves. first up there is >ghost track< a typical dry minimal loop with a rhythmically in touch vocal sample that is then juxtaposed by a simply astonishing piece of melody. goose bumps and groove humps on the floor - guaranteed! on the flip: >girl<. here braemer has created a dubby piece of tech house that floats towards a soulful vocal and some beautiful strings. this is one for the early morning, or in berlin, the late afternoon, those times when everything seems in perfect harmony with each other. last up is >guitar man<, yet another very sample-based stripped down loop with one riff of an echoed guitar being the protagonist. when that riff is fully played out, we all know its summer. but it wouldnt be berlin if there werent some dark wobbly basslines seemingly destroying this but in fact creating the perfect combination of soft and hard, of light and dark. on top of this the vocal sample >i wont leave< perfectly encapsulates the vibe of the praised berlin afterhour. stil vor talent is back at home with this ep.

one of our favorite berlin based producer hits crack&speed big time for the his first release on the label. great 3 tracker, pretty much funky , electro and minimal at the same time!! ltd backstock

technopassion release number five delivers a tremendous blast of techno sound from george le nagelaux that no one can resist. the a side features a massive remix from belgiums ambitious techno star stephane signore. he made a truly energetic version of no resistance that goes forward with melody driven raw power. surely one of the top tracks of the year! the b side features the straight funky original version and our species will not survive , a track that is, as the name suspects, pretty dark. rumbling bass, catchy oldschool synthlines and propulsive beats are the outlines of this piece. no resistance ep is a solid, rhythm packed bundle of uplifting techno music, so go and get your vinyl copy of this one before its out of stock!

popstar jan delay mit neuem groove-monster!
handgespielter disco-sound a la prince, curtis mayfield oder the temptations. jan delay rollt sich wieder durch die funky musikgeschichte. ein grosses album, dass seinen nummer 1 chart vorgänger mercedes dance in sachen aufmerksamkeit noch toppen dürfte.

alan fitzpatrick is a producer who has been making everyone sit up and take notice since his first appearance on the scene a little over 18months ago. with various outings on fergies excentric music label, and his own 8 sided dice imprint and forthcoming records on the seminal bedrock records, alan is without doubt the rising star of dance music with his cross genre sound. and if that wasnt enough here is the first outing on adam beyers mighty drumcode! adam, who is unbelievably fussy and purveyor of nothing but absolute quality, snapped up this two tracker instantly – a testament to alans awesome sound. both >statix< and >rubix< are earthshakingly good. both hard and funky, but at the same time extremely versatile, and will be excellent mixing tools and big records in ther own right. the kind of records that never leave the box. get it..

supported by anja schneider, dave seaman, dubfire. adam beyer, chris liebing, laurent garnier and many more! following his >turboencabulator< release this new 12 by cologne based artist roland m. dill is a funky piece of shit with two bass heavy groovers that create grooves you will fall for. >taurine on sunday< is a jumping jack track, a happy go merry super dooper late night groover that charly parker would love to do improvisations on. we can see this track going strong with house and techno djs. on the flipside >candy mountain< is powered by a funky tight rhythm with accelerating tight beats, more in your face... although it holds deep hypnotic and subtle moments creating a complex cool techno track.

moxie say: we got hipped to the life of a party last year during a breaking contest in nyc, one of those old school ones in the bronx. it was pure ecstasy! so we extended the good part, so the trip would last longer. the idea was to combine party life with two other breakers tracks to form a steppers package and then mj died... browsing back through his catalogue we were reminded of two other sweet 70s tracks: the funky hum along and dance and the smoother, but dangerously infective let me show you (the way to go). the result is moxies tribute to mj. may he be with us forever. thank you for the inspiration and joy you gave us.

a side is a twisted acidic mix of rockets people!! flip for the kings of tomorrow duo delivering a funky, filtered gem!!

adam beyer returns to mad eye with a storming two tracker. keeping it deep and funky and a little bit druggy, beyer takes us on a swirling journey with eerie synths and dubby bass. this is definitely not a record just for a techno frat - you will definitely see cross over to the tech and deep house boys who yearn for something a little bit tougher in their sets. once again beyer can do no wrong as he cements himself as one of the biggest names in techno today. sickeningly good!

trademark is the collaboration of tony reeves and tundra records labelmate loki. formed in 2000, the trademark project blends electronic studio craft with the live influence of their years playing jazz. trademarks output ranges from chillout through breakbeat to deep house and even drum and bass, but always with the fusion of deep jazzy chords, rolling beats and searing synths that define their style.
ia2 showcases all kinds of broken beats and trademark here provide another 3 varied tracks, with great support all round. new frontiers is a funky, upbeat broken dancey track and has had loads of support from promos. great progression through the track and some great riffs and percussion. outworld has been compared to early earth stuff from bukem and cafe del mar stuff, deep broken beats and sunny pads, great arrangement. lovely deep bass and textures. south central is a more straight up broken track, probably the most chilled of the bunch live live sounding bass and a nice deep vibe.

beautiful disco masterpiece, the self-titled >zig zag< lp. originally released on the tiny canadian label pacha records, this lost gem has become one of the true holy grails of the cosmic disco scene and holds the top spot in many a wants list. this incredible record is every bit as good as you ve heard it is, with every track a killer. all feature great playing, awesome funky synths and b-lines and wonderful afro french vocals that make for one of the best disco lps of all time and a record that for once warrants the high prices paid for it in internet auctions. top class!

stone cold classic funky disco floor filler thats stood the test of time. first time ever on 12inch!!! taken from the hard to find self titled lp by tommy stewart, bump & hustle music is the definitive disco funk party anthem. it was recorded in 1976 in atlanta, georgia, and since then the lp has found itself in the play boxes of soul, funk and jazz djs alike. however, its not until now that this amazing song has finally made it onto the preferred format of dance djs the world over û the 45rpm 12inch single. in 1976 tommy stewart was a busy man, working as an arranger, producer, performer and writer for a host of soul and rnb artists. the lp made for abraxas records was the first to go directly under his name, and although it failed to take off locally, the lp soon became known by djs across the world primarily for the club smash bump & hustle music. as it happens that song in particular almost didnt exist but for tommy needing to come up with something quick in order to fill in a gap in the album. conceived and recorded on the spur of the moment, and with backing vocals by isaac hayes singers hot buttered soul overdubbed later, its a superb example of rhythmic simplicity blended with soulful, catchy harmonies. its just impossible to listen to bump & hustle music without a broad smile coming to your face, and when played loud in a club, its impossible not to dance!

esl music drops the >classic ep<, the first 12 inch single from ancient astronauts? debut album >we are to answer<. featured here are 3 exclusive remixes and cuts not available in any other format. first up on the a side is >classic (12 remix)< that adds extra horns and punch to the original hip-hop track featuring rhymes by the pharcyde. not to be outdone, dj brace smoothes out the rhythm and centers the track on luscious string arrangements. on the flip side the astronauts deliver a funky big-beat party track entitled >what we came for<. not to be missed!

another legendary techno producers deliver the goods on be as one. this time is swedens own samuel l session with 2 singles straight out of his upcoming first ever artist album, soon to be released on the israeli label. big bad drum is exactly what the title says, a drums driven track with a bassline reminiscent of saundersons e-dancer techno. already tested by a few lucky ones, this tune is having a monster impact on the dancefloors with its funky snares and distinctive over voice . chimes still carries an old school vibe, taking a classical and deeper approach. sls sound at its best, reminds us why the don has been here for the last 15 years. a solid preview of what to expect from samuels album, classical groovy techno which reminds us how real techno is suposed to sounds like. forthcoming on be as one in october.
